Vacation tips from the master: Gronk
Jul 08, 2016 at 04:18 AM

Lifestyle Editor
Gronk is a guru of many things – being a top-tier tight end, being naturally hilarious and being a semi-pro vacationer.
You have to give it to him, the guy knows how to relax and have fun. Whether he is hitting the scene in Miami or hanging on a beach in California, Gronk is the all-knowing source of how to maximize a tropical break from reality, and lucky for us, he has opened up and shared his knowledge.
In an interview with the Boston Globe, Gronk gave his top tips, favorite destinations and vacation indulgences. Here are some of the highlights from the conversation. Take notes at your leisure.
Beaches – no matter where they are – reign supreme
From his social media and his GQ cover shoot, we know that Gronk's natural habitat is sandy and sunny. He said he enjoys a good Cali beach, as well as Florida's coastal scene – plus he gets to visit Mama Gronk.
Gronk also said he would love to explore the Balearic island of Ibiza off the coast of Spain, but hasn't had a chance yet.
Overall, the litmus test for a vacation spot is simple: "As long as I have beaches, some good friends around me, it's 75 degrees and sunny, I'm good," Gronk said.
Cheat days are a must
As a fine tuned football machine, Gronk's diet is one that has to help him stay sharp on the field, but that doesn't mean he can't have a little fun while on holiday.
"I work hard to get the body right and then I kind of just go off the map when on vacation. I love eating and just going all out with whatever's in front of me," he said.
And what are his go-to meals? Chicken fingers in barbecue sauce and ranch for dinner and cookies and cream ice cream for dessert – the longtime favorite meal of teenagers everywhere, as well as a Super Bowl Champion.
Whatever you do, don't forget headphones
Long travel days can be stressful, and an easy way to have calmness is music.
"When traveling, you've got to put on the headphones and listen to the music while you're walking by everyone so you don't keep getting bothered, you know what I mean? That's my technique," Gronk said. "Also, listening to music gives you a sense of peacefulness when traveling."
Get your sleep
Gronk's No. 1 tip was to avoid jetlag, make yourself comfortable and get some shuteye no matter the cost. As you travel more, you'll learn when to stay up, when to head to dreamland, and ultimately wake up feeling refreshed.
"Find whatever it takes to sleep on the plane. If I'm flying Boston to LA, I'll pull an all-nighter so I sleep the whole flight – six hours, that's a whole night of sleep," Gronk said. "Then you're not jetlagged or anything. You're super tired, so you sleep and it's like you never traveled."
Bonus tip: If you're traveling with a friend, they make good pillows.
"With a friend next to you, you feel comfortable no matter what position you're in," he said. "You know it's your boy; you can be leaning on him, he can be leaning on you."
Now, go forth, and make Gronk proud on your next vacation.

Legacy of the Daleks
by John Peel
Publisher: BBC
The Doctor receives a telepathic message from his first travelling companion, Susan, and travels to an Earth slowly recovering from the Dalek invasion. There he gets embroiled in local politics, which are being exacerbated by an old enemy. But not an old enemy as bad as the one lurking in Artefact DA-17...
Eighth.
Susan, at whom the Doctor briefly glances.
The Doctor also adds another cat (after the departure of Wolsey with Benny) to his travelling companions, not named at this point.
Pg 35 Near to London, 2200AD.
Pg 243 We don't see it happen, but it must, roughly near the same place as before, but one year later.
None, surprisingly. There is not a single tie-in to War of the Daleks.
Knowing the basic story of The Dalek Invasion of Earth would be helpful.
Pg 2 "They seeded a plague from space that ruined the world." The Dalek Invasion of Earth. Much of the novel draws from that source.
Pg 3 There continues a summary of The Dalek Invasion of Earth, including a description of the Robomen.
"'They left a lot of stuff behind them,' her dad explained. 'They brought... things with them. And some of them got loose.'" This includes the Slyther, which we will see in a couple of pages time.
Pg 4 "Just ahead was an old house. It had mostly fallen apart owing to weather, time and neglect." There's a certain narrative continuity which suggests that this was the house occupied by the crones in The Dalek Invasion of Earth. I've no proof of this, but I'm pretty sure I'm right.
Pg 5 "The roar was almost deafening. [...] It was as if two voices, in slightly different pitches, were screaming at the same instant." Ah, the instantly recognizable sound of a Slyther, from The Dalek Invasion of Earth.
Pg 12 "With all the rebuilding, they're even calling it New London these days." This is consistent with the novelisation of The Five Doctors.
Pg 15 "Now, if she looked out of the window, she'd see only new buildings, a pleasant walkway beside the same Thames that had held bloated bodies of resistance workers and slaughtered Robomen - and the occasional Dalek." Basically, a quick retread of Episode 1 of The Dalek Invasion of Earth, including its cliff-hanger ending.
"She loved David. She had done almost from the first time she'd seen him, gun in hand, in the wreckage of the city." Episode two of same.
Pg 16 "Her species - who called themselves Time Lords - and humans could interbreed at times. But this wasn't guaranteed." Leela is revealed as being pregnant with Andred's child in Lungbarrow, but there's also a reference here to the Doctor's new-found half-humanness as revealed in the Telemovie.
Pg 17 "Their three children had all been Dalek war orphans, adopted and raised as their own. She had loved - and still did love - Ian, Barbara and David Junior." Susan and David appeared to have some issues with originality when they named their children; I'm sure I don't have to tell you who they're named after. See also Continuity Cock-Ups.
Pg 20 "'Grandfather,' she breathed, for the thousandth time, 'why did you abandon me'" The Dalek Invasion of Earth, episode six.
"He had promised to return, too, and see how she was getting along. But he never had." The Dalek Invasion of Earth, episode six.
Pg 23 "He and Sam had become mixed up in the plans of the deadly Kusks on the dying planet of Hirath." Longest Day.
Pg 24 "But there was always some sort of closure when they left him, a feeling that their time with him was done, that they had learnt what they must, even that their lives thereafter would be helped by the time they had spent with him." Apart from the breathtaking arrogance of this statement, one would like the whisper the following names into the Doctor's ear: Katarina, Sara, Adric and Roz. Also, arguably, Jamie and Zoe, Sarah-Jane, Tegan and Mel, probably amongst others.
Pg 25 "That had been hard enough, and even harder when he'd decided to take Susan with him. He couldn't leave her behind to be brainwashed and regimented in the thought patterns of the rulers of his homeworld." No mention of the events of Lungbarrow here, but there is a general consistency with the Doctor and Susan's amnesia from Time and Relative, and the Doctor's throughout much of his first incarnation.
Pg 28 "A twinge of guilt needled his mind as he realised that he'd hardly thought of her in ages, let alone visited her as he had promised so glibly. If it hadn't been for Rassilon's Game, he'd never have seen her at all in all those hundreds of years. And even then, he'd barely talked to her." The promise was from The Dalek Invasion of Earth, of course, and the rest is The Five Doctors.
Pg 30 "If he found out what had caused Susan's problem, then perhaps he could prevent whatever had caused her to send that message in the first place." Except this would be a paradox, Doctor, and they're quite bad. Must be those pesky Faction Paradox people and their nasty virus that we'll find out about in Interference, part II again.
Pg 51 "'There was a man involved in that!' she exclaimed [hence the exclamation mark]. 'He was called the Doctor! And he had some sort of disappearing box...' She looked around the TARDIS. 'Is this it?'" The Dalek Invasion of Earth, although only David actually saw the TARDIS vanish, and it seems unlikely he would talk about it, given that it would make it obvious that his new bride was an alien. But then, these stories get about, don't they?
"Eventually that body wore out, and I needed a new one." The justification given somewhere between The Tenth Planet and The Power of the Daleks.
Pg 55 "Earth's underpopulated, you said. At a guess, I'd say that everybody's into rabbit mode right about now" This is, arguably, the most unlikely phrase ever to come out of the Doctor's mouth.
Pg 68 "He'd lived several lives to the full. He'd fought Daleks, Cybermen, Ice Warriors and other creatures she'd never even heard about." You know where these come from. What's impressive is he seems to have delivered his entire life story in about two hours (Pg 67).
Pg 70 "The restoration of the Houses of Parliament was still progressing." This fits with the last time we saw them in Alien Bodies.
Pg 75 "He fished in one of his coat pockets and pulled out a wad of cards." The Two Doctors
He goes on to brandish a UNIT pass in the name of Doctor John Smith, which "doesn't even look like you" in a similar manner to his performance in Battlefield.
Pg 79 "He rubbed his hands briskly together, and then used the handle of his umbrella to rap on the door." He didn't have an umbrella back in Kursaal, but as obviously acquired one since then.
Pg 80 "David, my boy! So good to see you again." The Doctor slips back into the characterisation, such as it is as given here, of his first incarnation.
Pg 82 "In my family, all accidents tend to major." This is probably a reference to Lungbarrow.
Pg 87 "Estro managed to get out of the war room by pleading the need to go to the toilet." And the character of the Master loses his last shred of dignity. Scarily, he's been followed.
Pg 100 "The last time she'd seen anything like this was back in their city, on their homeworld of Skaro." The Daleks. There follows a discussion of the use of static electricity, as well as how Daleks were powered in The Dalek Invasion of Earth.
Pg 106 "She was still soggy from their examination of the wrecked runabout. David looked as soaked as she did. The Doctor, curiously enough, looked slightly rumpled, but almost dry." It's unlikely, I'll admit, but it's possible that this is what the Doctor was doing in that infamous scene in The Curse of Fenric, where it's only raining when the camera's on Ace, but not when it's on the Doctor. Wow, the man has such charisma that even the rain daren't touch him.
Pg 107 On falling in love with humans: "'It's an unpleasant problem,' the Doctor said sadly. 'But it's one that my family seems prone to.'" This may be a reference to him and Grace, or to his father and mother, both from the Telemovie. And latterly, to him and Rose. Note that there is absolutely no implication here that, as Alien Bodies implies, he's only half-human in this incarnation.
Pg 109 "'It's Draconian technology,' the Doctor said darkly." Frontier in Space, which is, incidentally, when the Master picked it up. It's infrared detectors, so obviously that would've been much harder to come by on, say, Earth.
Pg 110 "It took the one looking over the Doctor quite some time to empty all his copious pockets." This has been the case for years. A great example can be found in Burning Heart.
Pg 111 "'Foreman,' she replied, and then wondered why she had given the name Grandfather had adopted for her on Earth in the 1960s." An Unearthly Child.
Pg 133 "The Doctor took her hand in his. 'Brave heart,' he murmured." He used to say this to Tegan a lot too.
On DA-17: "It was so similar to the one in which she'd been trapped on the Dalek homeworld of Skaro." The Daleks.
Pg 138 "'Doktoro,' said a fresh voice, one that Donna had never heard before. 'Mi gojas ke vi estas tiu kiun mi bezonis por kompletigi la ludon.' The Doctor spun around to stare at the newcomer. 'Tiam kiam mi audis la nomon "Estro", mi opiniis ke tiu devas esti vi. Via vanteco estos la fino de vi, estro de malbonestroj.'" It's Esperanto. Heaven knows why. Given that we don't get a translation, and, given my nonexistent understanding of the language, I'd like to suggest that this roughly reads: 'Doctor, thank you so much for the begonias you gave me to decorate London.' 'My pleasure, Estro, and I'd like to invite you round for some stroganoff at some point.' I could be wrong. See also Continuity Cock-Ups.
Pgs 139-140 "It's an artificial human language called Esperanto, invented in 1887 by a Polish oculist named Zamenhof. He wanted it to become the universal language of peace. Typical of the Master to corrupt it." This, another great example of dreadful dialogue writing, and gives us an educational factoid, but fails to tell us a) why they're speaking the language and b) what they said.
Pg 141 "I seem to have done something naughty. My people usually have a law that we must meet each other in a linear progression along out relative time-streams. But I've slipped back in regards to the Master - I've met him in two and a half bodies since this one." See Continuity Cock-Ups, and not just for the fact that the Doctor's use of the word 'naughty' here implies he's behaving like a five-year-old. For the record, one is Ainley, the other is Roberts and the 'half' is presumably the Pratt/Beevers version, although strictly speaking that's just the decaying remnants of the Delgado version.
Pg 142 "He tried to start a war between Earth and Draconia in the future to weaken both empires." Frontier in Space.
"Well, I was in their... employ, I used my time to raid their computer files. They alerted me to a few interesting facts that I'm making use of." I'm pretty sure that should read 'while' or 'when', not 'well', but I could be wrong. Whichever, isn't it interesting to note that in Frontier in Space, the Master was discovering stuff about The Dalek Invasion of Earth by looking in the Daleks' files. Meanwhile (as we discovered in War of the Daleks), in The Dalek Invasion of Earth, the Daleks were raiding Earth computer files to discover stuff about Remembrance of the Daleks. How magnificently circular! It clearly doesn't suggest a dearth of ideas on Peel's part at all.
Pg 144 "But the Daleks' final transmission back to Skaro before you and your allies destroyed them..." This is the first time we get confirmation that the invading force in The Dalek Invasion of Earth were in contact with Skaro at the time, thus setting at least one part of the Dalek timeline in stone.
Pg 150 "'Let's improvise,' the Doctor suggested. 'Overplanning never works. Trust me, I've been there, done that.'" The New Adventures. Except that, of course, it did work, and what the eighth Doctor tends to do, tends not to. Heigh ho.
Pg 152 "'Embryos were frozen, awaiting revival,' the Dalek informed her. 'The assembly line was prepared. All that was required was power.'" As it so nearly states, this is very much taken from the imagery of The Power of the Daleks.
Pg 156 "To his surprise, he wasn't dead, but he discovered that his legs were paralysed and his spine was on fire with pain." Like Ian in the Daleks. His later fate, however - Robotisation - is like Craddock's in The Dalek Invasion of Earth.
Pg 164 "The only important thing was power, which he understood perfectly, and the Doctor refused to grasp. Survival of the fittest - the weak being led by the strong." A possible ironic reference to the Master's last television appearance in the old series: Survival.
Pg 165 "What the Master wanted more than anything from his old friend-turned-foe." Divided Loyalties, The Dark Path.
Pg 179 "Susan had never expected to see Robomen again. They were the living dead - people whose minds had been wiped of all personality and independent action." The Dalek Invasion of Earth, again.
Pg 191 "It was wired into a timing device that was counting down. It was shaped like a human clock, and marked off in increments. If she assumed that each mark represented one time unit, then there was about one quarter unit left." This sounds like the timing device on the bomb at the end of Episode three of The Dalek Invasion of Earth.
Pg 194 "'The Doctor?' Susan was stunned. 'He's here? On Earth?' 'You know him?' The Master's eyes narrowed. He didn't suspect how much, then. Good." The Master's lack of knowledge about Susan's origins square with what we know of them from Lungbarrow, although don't quite fit with what we learn in Time and Relative.
Pg 206 There's a glorious moment of utter Dalek denial when, as every single Dalek plan is in ruins, the Black Dalek considers: "The humans would be back. They would not concede that the Daleks were superior." They've been taking realism lessons from the Master, it would appear. See also pages 216 and 220.
Pg 207 "It had been thirty years since she'd held one, her own key long lost in the rubble of old London." The Dalek Invasion of Earth, episode six.
Pg 213 "I'm at the top of their shoot-on-sight list." The Doctor noted that he was in the same high-polling position in War of the Daleks as well.
Pg 217 "For a second he wished he could see the bigger picture again, the grand design, as he dreamed he once could. But there was only darkness and pain crowding his head, now." Misplaced comma, I think, but, finally, a decent piece of prose, and a rather nice reference to the NA Seventh Doctor.
Pg 220 "Flames and molten rocks oozed from the devastated ground. Fire was everywhere. It was as if the gates of Hell had been opened, and the internal fires loosed." The destruction of DA-17 is visually very similar to the destruction of the Dalek mine-workings in - surprise, surprise - The Dalek Invasion of Earth. And wouldn't it have been nicer if this had read 'infernal' rather than 'internal'?
Pg 224 "Susan had known for a long time that she had greater latent telepathic powers even than most of her people." The Sensorites.
Pg 229 "Their excuse was that, given his alien metabolism, anything humans considered medicine might well be lethal to him." Good on those surgeons! The Left-Handed Hummingbird established that an aspirin would be fatal to our favourite Time Lord.
Pg 233 "His recovery was almost complete - his healing trance had done the trick, of course." As seen in Planet of the Daleks and Genocide.
"Thankfully this time no overhelpful medical technician had tried to help him recover." The Telemovie.
Pg 234 "No positive match." Sam's not on Earth. There's a shock.
Pg 235 "Tersurus" The Doctor finally remembers what he learned in The Deadly Assassin. But we're about to get a prologue...
Pg 236 "There'd be only himself to look out for, just as when he'd gone off before, soon after they'd first met." The three-year gap, as established in Vampire Science. Of course, it's a blatant lie that he only had himself to look out for as Placebo Effect establishes that he spent at least some time with Izzy and Ssard. Let's be charitable and assume that that was his intention at the beginning.
"TARDIS-fodder..." This is a quote from Alien Bodies.
Pg 239 "She [Rodan] wasn't going to mess it up. If she did, she'd be sent to some mindless, menial job like watching the transduction barriers, or timing paint drying..." Sadly, she messes up, since the next time we see her, in The Invasion of Time, she's watching the transduction barriers.
Pgs 239-240 On the President: "The senile old fool was due to resign shortly." There follows, in very basic detail, an extremely unsubtle set-up for The Deadly Assassin.
Pg 245 "'[The Daleks] won't be your problem.' He gazed into the distance. 'I wish I could say that they won't be mine, but I know better.'" This, uncannily, predicts the Time War of the new series.
(...and this is the book John Peel claimed had no continuity!)
Susan and David Campbell.
The Master.
Briefly, on Gallifrey: Rodan, Chancellor Goth and we hear about the President that the Doctor didn't shoot in The Deadly Assassin.
Becca, infamous rescuer of little kittens, aged 8. Also her mother, father and sisters. And some cats.
Donna.
Barlow, O'Hanley, Portney, Malone and Craddock are all that remain of Haldoran's council. It's possible that Craddock is related to Ian's friend Craddock who got turned into a Roboman in The Dalek Invasion of Earth.
Other combatants include Broadhurst, McAndrew, Durgan and Arkwright.
Briefly, on Gallifrey, a technician.
There's a huge chorus of expendable and dying soldiers. Action by Havoc.
Pg 2 "I lost my best friends and my first girlfriend that way." Okay, yes, the Dalek invasion was pretty brutal. However, Becca's Dad goes on to say "I were five then, younger than you." So he had his first girlfriend when he was five?
Pg 7 "Her body collapsed under her, and she rolled into the bracken and bushes. Twigs ripped at her exposed skin and hair, and she yelped. Winded by the fall, she was determined to move on." No animals were harmed in the making of this novel; indeed all seven kittens that Becca has tucked into her jumper appear to survive the rather brutal fall that she's just taken. Which seems unlikely in the extreme.
Pg 16 "She looked eighteen - if that. Her elfin face stared back at her in disgust, the hair cropped close to her head. She was in truth so much older, but she wouldn't look that way for several more centuries." Which is all very well - we're told that Susan uses make-up and padding to make her appear in her 50s - but doesn't square with the fact that she's clearly a lot older-looking than 18 in The Five Doctors.
Pg 17 "Their three children had all been Dalek war orphans, adopted and raised as their own. She had loved - and still did love - Ian, Barbara and David Junior." There's something strange going on here: normally war orphans - as opposed to children adopted soon after birth when the mother chooses not to keep them - already have names and are often somewhat older than newborn or a couple of months, as children that young wouldn't survive long enough to be taken in for adoption. Generally in that situation, it's actually quite cruel to change a name that they are used to, so how come the names Ian, Barbara and David fit Susan like a glove?
Pg 22 "It was - no surprise! - an unevaluated site, just a few miles from the main Dalek mining camp in Surrey." Except the main Dalek mining camp was in Bedfordshire according to The Dalek Invasion of Earth.
Pg 23 "The skin on his face still itched from where he'd restored it, and his memory still pained him from the causes of those scars." This is what's just happened on Hirath, but the Doctor, lying semi-comatose at the end, is described by Anstaar as having 'cuts and grazes' (Pg 272), nothing that would cause scarring so bad as to need restorative treatment, particularly on a man who, at the end of Genocide, managed to sleep off weeks of torture and beatings in 28 hours. It's particularly galling, given that the Doctor enters a healing trance on page 233 of this very book.
Pg 49 "Both her hearts thudded." Susan has two hearts. How odd. The Doctor had only one when he was in his first incarnation.
Pg 105 "It wasn't - couldn't be - her grandfather? Was it even a Time Lord?" Susan fails to recognize the Master, despite seemingly having been aware of him in Time and Relative, and, more tellingly, having met him in The Five Doctors.
Pg 138 "'Doktoro,' said a fresh voice, one that Donna had never heard before. 'Mi gojas ke vi estas tiu kiun mi bezonis por kompletigi la ludon.' The Doctor spun around to stare at the newcomer. 'Tiam kiam mi audis la nomon "Estro", mi opiniis ke tiu devas esti vi. Via vanteco estos la fino de vi, estro de malbonestroj.'" There's no excuse for the Esperanto anyway, but particularly when you remember that the TARDIS translation circuits should be slipping it all into English for the Doctor anyway.
Pg 141 "I seem to have done something naughty. My people usually have a law that we must meet each other in a linear progression along out relative time-streams. But I've slipped back in regards to the Master - I've met him in two and a half bodies since this one." It's not a continuity cock-up per se, but could I just say that no one, no one, wanted this sort of thing to be made into canon? While it's true that this has generally appeared to be the case in the history of the show, there's been absolutely nothing concrete to back it up at any point. By writing this, Peel stricturalises and formalises every single Time Lord meeting ever. And we desperately didn't want him to.
Pg 181 "Donna could remember Haldoran being gentle with his children." How? When? The whole point is that she was barren - she couldn't have any children - and it's established that he didn't have an heir, so there were certainly no children beforehand. She's never returned to Castle Haldoran until now, so can't have seen him with the children he's had since unless it was on a news broadcast, which surely she would know would be somewhat staged? So, in essence, how?
Pg 184 "Donna shuddered at the thought. It was too much like the tales of zombies she'd heard as a teenager, and the idea of being an animated corpse with no knowledge of self, or of needs, scared her." So Donna heard tales of zombies as a teenager, as well, of course, of loads of stories about Daleks. How come she didn't hear anything of Robomen, then, and has to extrapolate to zombies to come up with something synonymous?
Pg 193 "That's the reason they came to Earth in the first place - they wanted the metal present at its molten core." No they didn't! - they wanted to remove it and replace it with a travelling device. Is this an attempted retcon?
Pg 240 "There were days yet before the official resignation." The implication of The Deadly Assassin is that the Master has been there for weeks at the very least while Goth puts his plans into place, not days.
Becca's dad had his eye on the prize from the very beginning.
They're just damned lucky kittens.
It's extremely convincing make-up. And the Doctors, who would surely know that she shouldn't look like this, cover her embarrassment by not mentioning it at all. To be fair, Susan doesn't mention the Rassilon affair at all during the novel - only the Doctor thinks about it - but the novelisation of The Five Doctors clearly states that she's kidnapped from New London, and everything else - the name 'New London' and Susan and David's three children - are designed to accommodate the continuity from said novelisation.
It's a faintly ridiculous image, but I have this picture in my head of David and Susan standing in front of a whole bunch of orphans shouting out 'Anyone here called Ian? Anyone called Barbara?' and so on. Maybe they did; there are worse ways of choosing children, I suppose.
Presumably there were a number of mines across the country and Susan means the main one in that county, rather than the actual main one which isn't in that county at all. I'm pretty sure that's not what the intention of the line was, though.
Presumably, after we left the Doctor at the end of Longest Day, he tripped on his way back to the TARDIS, and really smashed his face up. His painful memory of the causing of the scars, then, is actually him smarting because he was stupid enough not to look where he was putting his feet.
Susan, being womb-born, as we discover in Lungbarrow, begins her life with two hearts. Of course, this doesn't make sense of the fact that later she thinks she can regenerate, and the womb-born in Lungbarrow, including Rassilon and the Other themselves, admit that they can't. Patience can in Cold Fusion, though, so we'll let this one go.
Time and Relative implies that her memories have been tampered with, so you can skate around it there. If you go for the idea that The Five Doctors happened later in Susan's time-line, then there's no more problem. However, if you believe it happened earlier than this, one can only assume that she thought that Ainley and Delgado looked nothing whatsoever like each other.
Time Lords can telepathically shut down each other's access to translation circuits in order to be pretentious. But if this is the case, then why in the blue blazes do they not speak in Old High Gallifreyan or something?
If anyone ever needs to justify this, let's just say that the Doctor's wrong.
Like Henry VIII, Haldoran had any number of bastard children before he married Donna, and she saw him with them. Would've been nice to have this information, though.
Too many people had been related to people who were Robotised, and it became considered bad luck, or in poor taste, to discuss them.
Susan's trying to confuse the Master, so she lies.
Given the speed that things tend to run on Gallifrey, the gap between the official resignation and the actual standing down could be months, even years.
Daleks, shockingly enough. A Slyther also rears its ugly teeth for a brief time before being viciously skewered. Daleks create some Robomen.
Apart from the sections stated below, the whole story is set in 2200AD. There's long and complicated reasoning for this, but, based on what Sam states to be the time-zone that she is in during Dreamstone Moon and David's age, this is the only date that fits.
Pg 2 Some woods in Surrey.
Pg 9 Castle Haldoran, formerly Leeds Castle, Kent.
Pg 15 Susan and David's home, New London.
Pg 34 The road to London.
Pg 47 DA-17, on the border between Domains London and Haldoran.
Pg 69 New London.
Pg 72 Domain London HQ was formerly the Tower of London.
Pg 88 Battle on the streets of Woolwich.
Pg 197 A mineshaft near DA-17
Pg 223 Tersurus, the far future.
Pg 229 A hospital complex in the Tower of London, back in 2200AD.
Pg 239 Gallifrey.
Pg 241 Goth arrives on Tersurus.
Pg 243 Becca's farm, one year later than the bulk of the action.
Well, to damn it with faint praise, it's better than War of the Daleks. Marginally. That Estro is the Master is so stunningly obvious it's a wonder we weren't told this from the first page. The language used is often quite awful ('freeing his mind again from its dreadful grip' (page 27) being one of the worst offenders). The villains are all, seemingly by definition, sadists, which has the unfortunate effect of making them also all two-dimensional cliches, while the politics on display is a bizarre mix of Kings and customer loyalty to nuclear power providers. And the Daleks are so useless, it's absolutely hysterical. On the bright side, Sam's not in it. And there's a good conversation on Pg 138.

Vandeweghe shocks world No. 1 Kerber, advances to Aussie Open quarters
By Ashley Marshall, USTA.com
In a tournament of upsets and on the day the top seeds went crashing out, CoCo Vandeweghe has kept her dream run at the Australian Open alive with yet another unexpected American victory.
The unseeded Vandeweghe toppled world No. 1 and defending champion Angelique Kerber, 6-2, 6-3, in just 68 minutes inside Rod Laver Arena to advance to the quarterfinals in Melbourne for the first time.
Vandeweghe was one of two U.S. players to move through to the final eight of Day 7 of the tournament, joining seven-time major champion Venus Williams, who beat Mona Barthel, 6-3, 7-5, earlier in the afternoon.
For the 25-year-old Vandeweghe, the result is the biggest of her career and it marks just her second time in the quarterfinals of a Slam, following a run to the same stage at Wimbledon 2015 on her favorite surface.
Watch: An Interview with CoCo Vandeweghe
Hard-court wins have typically been hard to come by for the world No. 35, who had only previously been past the second round at the Australian Open or US Open once in 13 attempts. But all those numbers seemed irrelevant from the beginning as Vandeweghe (pictured above) took control from the first ball and never held back, with aggressive ground strokes neutralizing the angles and craft that has helped Kerber to the top of the tennis pyramid.
Vandeweghe faced just one break point on her own racquet and converted four of six on the German's serve, which has never been her best weapon and which has looked suspect at Melbourne Park all week. By getting ahead in the points early, Vandeweghe was able to record 30 winners compared to Kerber's seven.
Vandeweghe broke in consecutive games to claim the final four games of the first set, and she responded to losing her serve at the start of the second set by reeling off six of the last seven games, breaking the reigning US champion at 3-2 and again at 4-3.
"Any opponent, I go out there expecting to win," Vandeweghe said. "It's just another person that's in front of me, whoever it may be, if it's No. 1 in the world, No. 130 in the world, it doesn't matter, it's still an opponent to get in my way of achieving my goals."
The victory gives Vandeweghe, who has two career titles to her name – in 's-Hertogenbosch in 2016 and 2014 – her ninth career Top 10 victory and her first win over a world No. 1.
The New York native and current California resident will now face seventh-seeded Garbiñe Muguruza for a spot in the final four, with the winner of that match facing either Williams or No. 24 seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
Williams has now been in the quarterfinals in Melbourne nine times in her career, and with a maximum of three of the world's Top 8-ranked players – and possibly as few as one depending on Sunday evening's results – in the final eight, the draw is very much open for an even deeper run.
Day 8 Down Under sees No. 2 seed Serena Williams continue her quest for a record-breaking 23rd Grand Slam women's singles title against Barbora Strycova of the Czech Republic, and breakout star and world No. 116 Jennifer Brady in her first ever fourth-round slam contest against Mirjana Lucic-Baroni.


"	I now made one or two attempts to speak to my brother-	but, in some manner which I could not understand, the din had so increased that I could not make him hear a single word, although I screamed at the top of my voice in his ear.

Today I had a conversation with our local talk-radio star, John Gormley. John and I are on pretty much different sides of the aisle on many (most?) political and social issues, but today we had a moment of commonality. Beyond our shared affection for True Blood (!!), we both aren't in favor of a recent complaint filed with the province's Human Rights Commission.
Now when this story first came out, I was really glad the issue was being highlighted and discussed. I also don't think public prayers are appropriate, because not only will it bother non-believers in the audience, but chances are the prayer will alienate another belief system. And, thanks to Thomas Jefferson, I'm a big fan of separating church and state.
I don't think that this dinner prayer was meant to subvert nonbelievers or nonChristians in a way that violated their human rights, per se. But I do think that we, as a society, need to talk about what's appropriate in public contexts (and clearly this prayer wasn't appropriate) — and then we can hold our leaders accountable for following through on what is best for ALL of us. But, again, I think taking this complaint to the HRC is a few steps further than what I would have done.
SO — to hear more about where I'm coming from, check out today's interview on John Gormley Live here.
When it's all said and done, I'm happy with how it all turned out. I feel like I was able to respectfully disagree with the complainant, while also highlighting how diverse the atheist/secular/humanist/nonbelieving community can be when it comes to various issues. I was also able to talk a bit about a case I think would be worthwhile taking to the HRC, plus there were 2 plugs for the different groups I help facilitate (including one plug made by the man, Gormley, himself!).
All in all, it was a busy day — but a good day. It was a chance for me to share my opinion and hopefully educate others on the diversity of the atheist movement.
Today was one of those days I lived out loud. And I liked it.
Didja catch the 2 smiling mugs at the :33 second mark? That's Jerry and I! I'm very happy to lend a picture of myself to such a campaign.
To hope, to care, to love. We have all experienced these powerful, fundamental feelings. They help define what it is to be human. These important elements of a fulfilling human life are experienced by religious and nonreligious people alike.
Tonight I met with a reading group for the Saskatoon Secular Family Network that I help facilitate. There were only 6 of us (2 of them being under 4), but we had a great time of connecting and sharing ideas/miseries associated with being parents. Times like these really charge me up, and confirm for me the passions I have for building smaller communities in the larger atheist/freethinking/skeptic movement.
It's funny how each of these groups reflect a passion of mine: family, (rejected) faith, and feminism!
When I first started up the SSFN, the first meeting we had had a turnout of over 20 people! I remember being stunned at how seemingly-popular this group already was, after only its FIRST meeting. But as cool its first turnout was, though, I really think that it derailed me in my "mission" (for lack of a better term) in establishing these smaller communities in the larger movement.
After such a high turnout, I spent the next several months feeling bad that each consecutive meeting would have lower numbers — I started questioning myself, as if the reason people were staying away was because of something I had said/did in leading these meetings. Looking back on those first few formative months of the SSFN, I can still feel the frustration and uncertainty.
Thankfully I smartened up, and realized that my perspective was ALL WRONG. It wasn't about hosting "big events," with monthly themed talks and the like. The *point* of a secular parenting group is to find support among other parents and family members who are choosing similar parenting approaches.
Since that ah-ha moment, it's like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I'm just as happy with a turnout of 5 as I am with one of 50 (though it does help to know ahead of time the 50ish turnouts!). I recognize that there are amazing connections to be made in the smaller meetings that could never happen in a larger crowd.
And while there are still big, fun events to throw (insert Darwin Day and Camp Hoodoo), I'm just as happy sitting around a table of 4, drinking coffee, and talking about a parenting book with others.

The Christopher Dodge House, our Providence, Rhode Island Bed and Breakfast, is conveniently located within walking distance from Providence Place Mall, downtown Providence, Brown University, RISD and the Convention Center. A stunning 3-story brick Italianate mansion, Christopher Dodge House is one of the few small luxury hotels in Providence, RI. This newly renovated bed and breakfast is truly an architectural gem featuring 11-foot ceilings, marble fireplace mantels, ornate plaster moldings, and many original tin ceilings. Built in 1858, the inn served as the primary residence of the Dodge family until 1901 when it was converted to an apartment house. A century of rental use took its toll on the property and it was the pleasure of the present proprietors, Kenneth and Phyllis Parker and Frank and Monica Hopton, to restore it to its original stately grandeur as they converted it to a luxury bed and breakfast hotel. Our Providence, RI Bed and Breakfast is centrally located near the Rhode Island State Capitol Building and offers the personal service and accommodations you are seeking, making us the best lodging choice for your visit to Providence.

Vaxess gets federal contract for development of MIMIX smart release patch platform
By NS Medical Staff Writer 27 Aug 2020
Vaxess Technologies develops proprietary sustained release smart delivery technologies to meet the need for more efficacious and easy to administer medical products
Vaxess Technologies, Inc., an innovative biotechnology company developing the MIMIX™ smart release patch, was awarded a contract from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), part of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), as part of BARDA's efforts to evaluate alternative vaccination technologies.
Vaxess will receive funding to integrate vaccine material into their MIMIX™ patch formulation and demonstrate the feasibility of this vaccination method.
The MIMIX™ platform patch technology provides a solution to vaccine global distribution and delivery. The patch, which utilizes sustained release technology, is shelf-stable, enables dramatic enhancements in protection, and can be self-applied, allowing greater ease in distribution and administration, which is critical for pandemic response. The patch also is compatible with a wide range of vaccine types, as demonstrated by Vaxess' work towards a combination seasonal protection patch that includes both a COVID-19 vaccine and a broadly protective seasonal flu vaccine.
"By supporting development activities in parallel, BARDA has helped advance first generation COVID vaccines through clinical development remarkably fast with a focus on safety and effectiveness," said Vaxess CEO Michael Schrader. "We're thrilled to see them expanding their focus to include innovative platforms like MIMIX that can enable even better responses to future pandemics."
Medicine delivery, redefined. The MIMIX patch delivers medicines and vaccines through a number of tiny, painless projections that dissolve at a precisely engineered rate, releasing their treatment at its most effective dose for the most beneficial length of time. Vaxess has validated performance and compatibility with a range of molecules including proteins, killed viruses, mRNA, hormones, and live viruses.
More effective medications start with MIMIX. The MIMIX platform dramatically improves efficacy of products across a broad range of therapeutic areas by "mimicking" the prolonged exposure period that occurs during a natural infection. This prolonged exposure triggers a stronger and more enduring immune response.
Seamlessly painless. The MIMIX patch is virtually painless and after wearing it for few minutes, it is removed from the skin while the medication continues to be delivered.

This Labour Day, let's move Forward Together
A Labour Day message from Society of United Professionals President Scott Travers
Monday is Labour Day and, like so many other things during a pandemic, this Labour Day will be different than in years past. This year there are physically distanced activities and virtual parades. But what stays the same is our commitment to celebrate workers' contributions to our province and push for better so we can all withstand whatever comes next in this pandemic.
FIND A SAFE LABOUR DAY EVENT NEAR YOU
As workers, we have so much to be proud this year. Even a global pandemic couldn't stop Society members from keeping Ontario's lights on and courts operating. These were trying times that called for extraordinary changes to how we have long operated but Society members were equal to the challenge. We saw the same spirit from health care workers, grocery store clerks and so many others.
Even though we can look south of the border and know things could be going so much worse, many of our fellow Ontarians have not made it through the pandemic unscathed. As of this writing, 2,809 people have died of COVID-19 in Ontario. Some have died or suffered infections through their work. More than half of Ontario deaths happened in long-term care homes, showing a glaring weakness in our province. More than a million Ontarians lost their jobs and hundreds of thousands more had their hours of work reduced. More than 3.4 million Ontarians needed to access Canadian Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) payments.
While Ontario has seen our COVID-19 cases drop dramatically, the experts say we need to be ready for a second wave of infections this fall. That is why the Society is joining with the rest of Canada's labour movement to advocate for the Forward Together plan that will shore up what proved to be our weaknesses in the first wave and position the country for economic prosperity once COVID-19 is truly behind us.
Forward Together: A Canadian Plan seeks to:
Replace lost jobs with better ones by hiring people to transition Canada to a low-carbon economy, educate our young people, and help us care for one another
Strengthen Canadian public health care by making long-term care for seniors and prescription drugs part of medicare
Disaster-proof our social safety net so a strong employment insurance program, accessible childcare and strong community services are available when the next economic disaster hits
Pay for these changes by recognizing that the wealthiest among us made record profits during the pandemic and should pay their fair share to help Canada as a whole recover and prosper
The Canadian Labour Congress will officially launch Forward Together will officially launch on Labour Day. Click here to sign-up to participate in the live-streamed launch on Facebook. The Society will share much more about Forward Together and how to support this plan in the coming days.
As part of pushing for a just and inclusive recovery from the pandemic, the Society is also joining the Toronto and York Region Labour Council's advertising campaign on local buses using the money we usually spend on Labour Day activities. So keep an eye out on TTC and York Region Transit buses for the Society's logo!
I wish you and yours a safe and enjoyable Labour day.

            searchDate.text = year[row]
        }

    }

A: First thing you are assigning the the picker to the same textfield searchMonth in your view did load.
You should name your picker like this for better understanding
let monthPicker = UIPickerView()
let datePicker = UIPickerView()

Second you just need to replace your condition with the appropriate picker view your methods will look like this :-
@IBOutlet weak var searchMonth: UITextField!
@IBOutlet weak var searchDate: UITextField!

var months =["January","Febrary","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December"]
var year = ["2017","2018","2019"]

let monthPicker = UIPickerView()
let datePicker = UIPickerView()

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    searchMonth.inputView = monthPicker
    monthPicker.delegate = self
    monthPicker.dataSource = self
    searchDate.inputView = datePicker
    datePicker.delegate = self
    datePicker.dataSource = self
}

func numberOfComponents(in pickerView: UIPickerView) -> Int {
    return 1
}

func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, numberOfRowsInComponent component: Int) -> Int {
    if pickerView == monthPicker {
        return months.count
    }else if pickerView == datePicker {
        return year.count
    }else {
        return 0
    }
}

func pickerView( _ pickerView: UIPickerView, titleForRow row: Int, forComponent component: Int) -> String? {
    if pickerView == monthPicker {
        return months[row]
    }else if pickerView == datePicker {
        return year[row]
    }else {
        return ""
    }
}

func pickerView( _ pickerView: UIPickerView, didSelectRow row: Int, inComponent component: Int) {

The Commando Lake project in Cochrane has been finalized by the town.
The latest investment from FedNor towards the project was the final piece step in solidifying the venture.
Cochrane Mayor Peter Politis says that work on the project will begin after May long weekend, and finish up in September.
Politis says the overall cost is $1.985 million, and the provincial and federal governments together will fund $1.5 million of the project.
The remaining cost for the project of $500,000 will be covered by FedNor's most recent investment.
Politis says the festival and events pavilion will be a piece of legacy architecture within the community.


Court paperwork and a commentary from the sufferer ascertain an Enoch City councilman who owns a neighborhood mobile phone restore store is accused of copying non-public images from the mobile phone of a female customer.
David Findlay Owens is charged with one count of computer crimes – deliberately/knowingly getting access to pc belongings with out authorization, a Class-B misdemeanor, in keeping with paperwork filed within the Iron County Justice Court final month.
Court paperwork to begin with filed within the fifth District Court didn't supply any details about what resulted in the fees towards the 38-year-old. The special prosecutor handling the case and other officials declined to comment on what spurred the fees.
But new paperwork bought from the Utah Attorney General's Office and a commentary from the sufferer display the fees stem from a September 2016 incident during which Owens reportedly copied 4 "mirror selfies" of a scantily clad lady from her mobile phone to a pc at his store, Fix-N-Go, on South Main Street in Cedar City.
I used to be horrified to be told this guy accessed my phone, stole private knowledge, and exploited me — a female customer. I felt extremely violated to be told that, no longer most effective did he thieve from me, he then shared it with different males. I fight to grasp why no person would come ahead to warn me or the general public of what he had performed and want any person would have taken motion in contrast predator, as the general public used to be left in peril for over a 12 months. I believe Mr. Owen's habits is disgusting and each customer, daughter, sister, spouse and teen must be warned as he's nonetheless in industry and has proven no want to step down from administrative center. This reaction presentations he believes his personal delusions that, as a result of he's a political candidate and businessman, that he's untouchable and above the regulation. It isn't that those are merely allegations and that he's below investigation — he used to be charged. It is substantive and actual and constituents and buyers deserve duty and to be warned. It is my hope that via talking out, others don't seem to be harm via this predator.
Berg identified the lady within the footage as a former govt worker, in keeping with the paperwork.
Two Cedar City Police detectives and a primary investigator for the Utah Attorney General's Office visited the Fix-N-Go final March to practice up at the images. Owens instructed the investigators he were fallacious and the 2 telephones had no longer in truth been introduced in via the county authentic. Instead, one Apple iPhone 6 were introduced in via the sufferer for a display restore.
Owens supplied the shape for the $143 display restore to investigators, in keeping with the commentary. The receipt obviously indexed the sufferer because the customer. The password to the iPhone used to be supplied via the sufferer, however she instructed The Spectrum she by no means gave Owens permission to get entry to the contents of her phone.
"Owens stated he would not do anything with the pictures until we told him one way or another," Lucey wrote.
Investigative notes from the Utah Attorney General's Office said Owens had adorned the tips. No additional motion used to be taken. A consultant for the administrative center declined to touch upon why no fees had been filed, bringing up the continued investigation in Iron County.
The Spectrum used to be not able to verify whether or not officers seized the images from Owens' pc.
The incident used to be forwarded via the Iron County Attorney's Office to Robert Cosson, Chief Prosecuting Attorney for the City of St. George, for evaluate. Cosson filed the misdemeanor rate in December.
Owen's lawyer didn't go back repeated messages left via The Spectrum.
An Enoch City authentic showed Owens remains to be at the council. The town launched a commentary to The Spectrum indicating they have got no details about the subject and that it will be "inappropriate" to remark.
Owens is going through a most penalty of as much as six months in prison and a $1,000 high quality if convicted.
He will seem prior to Judge Margaret Miller within the Iron County Justice Court on March 21. As section of the summons, he will have to report back to the Iron County Jail to be booked at the fees prior to the March courtroom date. He will likely be in an instant launched following the reserving procedure.

The carrier transport in carbon nanotube is studied by solving the finite difference equation with standard Newton–Lanforx method. The model provides the basis for ATK software to simulate the electronic and quantum transfer characteristics. The I–V characteristic of the carbon nanotube based device was simulated with ATK software. The electrical properties of the device formed by individual nanotube between metal electrodes were characterized at room temperature by measuring current. Those results show that the qualitative features of the simulated I–V characteristics agree with the experimental work, which provide the new theoretical methods for the development of canbron nonotube based device.

Fresh fruit juice's health stars are safe for the time being with a final, controversial ministerial decision on how to rate drinks with no added sugar on hold.
Any change to the health star rating for fruit and vegetable juices is on hold with the Australia and New Zealand Ministerial Forum on Food Regulation delaying a final decision until February.
Food Forum ministers will decide in February whether to take health stars off fruit juices
Dietitians want more people to eat whole foods rather than drink juices
Growers are concerned the forum has overlooked the nutritional benefits of no-added-sugar juices
On Friday, fruit growers and federal Agriculture Minister David Littleproud were furious at what Mr Littleproud described as a "mind-numbingly dumb" decision by the state ministers to press on with a plan to introduce health star ratings [HSR] based on sugar content.
Citrus Australia, the peak body for Australian growers, said it was "shocked and disappointed" that state health ministers had endorsed a HSR that "gives Diet Coke a higher rating than fresh Australian juice".
Mr Littleproud said Friday's meeting was his last chance to prevent a decision to introduce a rating system that "has no basis on nutritional value".
"This was it," he told the ABC. "This was my second crack at it. I had a go in July and got rolled and then rolled again."
But ministers at the forum said they had not agreed to the change and instead asked for more information on juices.
"The forum supported a proposal for a minor adjustment to the HSR review calculator to address an anomaly. Diet beverages will now achieve no more than 3.5 stars," a forum statement reads, adding the adjustment was in line with Australian and New Zealand dietary guidelines.
"The forum noted the Australian Government Department of Health will provide further advice in relation to adjusting the HSR calculator for 100 per cent fruit and vegetable juices [no added sugar] for discussion at the next meeting, to be held in February, 2021."
The delay keeps alive Mr Littleproud's proposal last week that an automatic four-star rating apply to 100 percent fruit and vegetable juices with no added sugar. That's a concession from July when his proposal for a five-star rating for such juices was rejected.
The main purpose of the forum was to finalise a five-year review of the health star system.
Food is rated from half-a-star to five stars, depending on its nutrients, but the system has come in for criticism.
The Department of Health said the HSR calculator allocates "baseline" points according to a food or drink's energy, saturated fat, sugar and sodium.
Dietitians encourage people to eat whole fruit rather than just drink juice(Laurissa Smith)
Then "positive" aspects of a food are taken into account including its fruit, vegetable, nut and legume content, dietary fibre and protein to determine the product's overall health rating.
Alexandra Jones, a research fellow at the George Institute for Global Health, said juice was one of the last issues considered in the review.
"What we have seen is the ongoing discussion around the need to support farmers … and the need to make sure that health star ratings are aligned with the health evidence," Dr Jones said.
Dr Jones said the drinks category had a lot of weighting on sugar because that's what was in a lot of the drinks people consume.
"Actually the dietary guidelines are pretty nuanced on juice," Dr Jones said.
"They really say that we need to limit our consumption to very small amounts and only when we don't have access to whole fruits,"
Dr Jones said the health star rating doesn't take into account micronutrients.
"No front-of-pack labelling system around the world actually considers those at the moment, so those seven nutrients that it does take into account are seen as a pretty good proxy of healthiness, but it's not a complete source of dietary advice," Dr Jones said.
Citrus Australia chief executive Nathan Hancock said the ministerial forum had overlooked the nutritional benefits of juices, like vitamin C, that could not be gained from a manufactured product with artificial sweetener.
"The message that they've been giving us is that they want people to drink more water, because it's better for hydration, and they want to take sugar out of the diet," Mr Hancock said.
Dietians Australia senior dietetics advisor Simone Austin said she considered juice a discretionary food.
"We're always wanting people to encourage people to have whole food as their main fruit and certainly not enough Australians eat their two fruit a day," Ms Austin said.

Assembly Democrats seek $15 an hour minimum wage in NYC, Westchester
Assembly Democrats plan to seek an increase in the minimum wage so it would grow to $15 an hour in New York City and its suburbs by 2019 and to a rate of $12.60 outside the metropolitan area.
The plan would increase the minimum wage in New York over a three-year stretch and link it to the rate of inflation by 2019.
The Assembly's plan goes beyond Gov. Andrew Cuomo's proposal, which would increase the minimum wage to $10.50 in New York and $11.50 in New York City by the end of next year.
Under the Assembly's proposal, the increase would go from $9 at year's end to $10.50 on December 31, 2016. It would go to $12.60 on December 31, 2018.
"Raising the minimum wage is about the moral obligation we have to help families across the state who are struggling to get by," Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie said in a statement. "The current wage floor is not enough to allow full-time workers who put in a 40-hour work week to afford life's basic necessities, let alone achieve financial independence."
There would also be an increase for tipped workers, beyond the $7.50 an hour that the state agreed to in January. The tipped wage for workers would increase from $7.50 an hour on December 31, 2016, to $9 an hour on December 31, 2018.
For New York City, Westchester and on Long Island, the minimum wage increase would grow from $12.50 on December 31, 2016, to $15 an hour on December 31, 2018.
The region's tipped workers would also get an added boost because of the higher cost of living downstate: from $9.50 on December 31, 2016, to $11.40 on December 31, 2018.
The proposal would be in line with Mayor Bill de Blasio's call for a $15 an hour minimum wage in the city by 2019.
"It is unconscionable to leave these workers trapped in an endless financial balancing act with their ability to care for themselves and their loved ones at the mercy of factors beyond their control," Heastie continued.


Phoebe, the youngest of the three, initially possesses the power of premonition allowing her to receive visions of the future and later of the past.
She later develops the powers of levitation in season three, and empathy in season six, the latter allowing her to sense and tap into others' emotions and, sometimes, powers.
Each sister possesses unique magical powers that grow and evolve, while they attempt to maintain normal lives in modern-day San Francisco.
Keeping their supernatural identities separate and secret from their ordinary lives often becomes a challenge for them, with the exposure of magic having far-reaching consequences on their various relationships and resulting in a number of police and FBI investigations throughout the series.
Phoebe, reasonably suspecting the book to be a novelty, reads its initial inscription—unaware that it also happens to be an incantation activating the sisters' supernatural powers once all three are reunited in their ancestral home.
By the end of the first episode, each sister learns that she has a unique magical power and that they can each cast spells and brew potions.
The show's success has led to its development in other media, including a video game, board games, soundtracks, novels, and a comic book series which served as a continuation of its narrative.However, in the third season, they discover that their ultimate enemy is The Underworld's demonic ruler, The Source of All Evil.Eventually, Prue is killed in the season three finale by The Source's personal assassin, Shax (Michael Bailey Smith).Charmed is an American television series created by Constance M.Burge and produced by Aaron Spelling and his production company Spelling Television, with Brad Kern serving as showrunner.
While grieving for their older sister, Piper and Phoebe discover that they also have a younger half-sister, Paige Matthews (Rose Mc Gowan), who had been the secret love child of their witch mother, Patty (Finola Hughes), and her whitelighter (guardian angel) Sam Wilder (Scott Jaeck).

Today I have the pleasure of having Laura from Fairly Southern share her favorite picture and why it is just that. She really gets to the bottom of the perfect social media posts in her story.
I love this photo because it reminds me of how truly happy I was in this moment, which is honestly such a rarity in today's world! So many Instagram and blog photos showcase staged or exaggerated happiness. Sometimes it's a necessary evil in order to convey the messages we are called to share. I can't tell you how many times I have posted a smiling photo that was taken right after my hubby and I snapped at each other for half an hour, frustrated by not being able to get the right shot of my ethically made outfit for my blog. I may have had a smile on my face as I modeled that outfit, but inside I was fuming! That was not the case with this photo. This was taken right after I woke up on my last morning in Belize during a recent vacation. I wanted to walk out on the beach and enjoy the warm sun before getting on a plane to head back home. My soul was full of joy. When I look at my body, face, and hair in this photo, there are parts that I think look great and other parts that perhaps don't look their best. But overwhelmingly, all I feel is the joy that I felt in that moment, just as I was, bed head and all. Here's to more non-fabricated joyful moments just like this!

Defense will propel the OKC Thunder to new heights in 2018-19
Bryan Toporek
The Oklahoma City Thunder never quite found their identity during the 2017-18 season. After adding Paul George and Carmelo Anthony last summer, they were certainly going to have some difficulty coalescing, but Andre Roberson's midseason patellar tendon injury threw them for a loop just as they were beginning to surge.
Thanks to their moves this offseason, the Thunder should have no such issue in 2018-19. With Roberson, George, and Steven Adams in the starting lineup, and the newly re-signed Jerami Grant likely joining free-agent addition Nerlens Noel off the bench, OKC appears poised to have one of the NBA's most stifling defenses.
Before Roberson went down with his season-ending knee injury in late January, the Thunder touted the league's fifth-best defense. In the 763 minutes in which he shared the floor with George, OKC allowed opponents to score only 94.2 points per 100 possessions, which would have led the league by a mile. But in the 2,100-plus minutes in which George was on the floor without Roberson alongside him, the Thunder gave up a whopping 109.0 points per 100 possessions, which would have been tied with the Sacramento Kings for the fourth-worst mark leaguewide.
During Las Vegas Summer League, Roberson told Brett Dawson of The Oklahoman he's on track to return by the start of the 2018-19 season. He has yet to try running, however, and head coach Billy Donovan is taking a more patient approach.
"I'm going more of the mindset that we have to prepare without him, I think," he told Dawson. "… For him to go down like he did in January and not do anything, it's gonna take him some time."
Whenever Roberson does make it back, he'll give OKC an All-Defensive-caliber lockdown wing if he can return to his previous form. That luxury affords George the opportunity to avoid covering the opponent's top scorer on any given night, allowing him to devote more of his energy on offense.
The Thunder should benefit from some addition by subtraction, too. Their decision to salary-dump Carmelo Anthony to the Atlanta Hawks not only saved them north of $60 million in luxury-tax payments, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, but it also spared them from having him continue to sabotage their defense.
Anthony has long been ambivalent toward the point-preventing end of the court, as he has never posted a positive mark in defensive box plus-minus in his 15 NBA seasons. Before last season, he typically outweighed his faults on defense with his offensive contributions, making him an overall net positive. In OKC, however, his offense likewise tanked as he struggled to adjust to his new role, which sent him plummeting to a career-worst year.
As Yahoo Sports' Dan Devine noted in early March, Anthony was a glaringly obvious target for opponents to attack, which threatened to upend the Thunder's already-flimsy defense sans Roberson. He ranked 73rd among 84 power forwards last season in ESPN.com's defensive real plus-minus, which put him behind the likes of Julius Randle, Dragan Bender and Trey Lyles. The Thunder allowed 2.6 fewer points per 100 possessions with him on the bench rather than on the court, which was the third-highest mark among OKC rotation players behind only Corey Brewer (8.9) and rookie wing Terrance Ferguson (7.0).
Wesley Hitt/Getty Images
With Anthony no longer on the team, the Thunder can now slide either Grant or Patrick Patterson into their starting lineup at the 4. The latter figures to get the nod for offensive spacing reasons—Grant is a career 30.1 percent three-point shooter, while Patterson has knocked down 37.0 percent of his long-range attempts across his eight-year career—but both players will be a marked upgrade over Anthony.
Grant figures to play significant minutes regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench, as he gives OKC yet another rangy wing defender alongside Roberson and George. When all three share the court with Westbrook and Adams, the Thunder will have the size and lateral quickness to switch defensive matchups freely. The Houston Rockets employed that tactic against the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, where they pushed the defending champions to seven games before running out of steam.
An early February matchup against the Warriors may give the Thunder confidence in that approach. Only a week-and-a-half after losing Roberson for the year, they started both Anthony and Josh Huestis, although the former played only six minutes before leaving with an ankle injury. Grant and Patterson combined for 65 minutes off the bench that night, helping to fuel a 125-105 rout of Golden State.
"They're a very good defensive team. We know that," Warriors head coach Steve Kerr told reporters afterward. "They've got a lot of size and length, and if you try to go through them one-on-one, you're not going to have a lot of success, and it seemed like that's what we were trying to do."
With Roberson back, Grant and Patterson soaking up Anthony's minutes and Noel now in the fold as a backup center, Kerr's comments apply even more resoundingly to this year's Thunder team. While Noel's miserable 2017-18 season with the Dallas Mavericks hardly suggests he's poised to be a difference-maker on a title hopeful, he could dominate defensively if he embraces a limited role.
During his rookie season with the Philadelphia 76ers in 2014-15, Noel almost single-handedly helped an otherwise G League-caliber roster finish with a league-average defense. He became the first player in NBA history to average at least 1.8 steals and 1.8 blocks per game as a rookie, and he ranked among the league leaders in a host of other defensive metrics. His instincts on that end of the floor help him jump into passing lanes and gum up set plays, forcing opponents to improvise on the fly.
After gambling on himself and turning down a four-year, $70 million contract offer from the Mavericks last summer, Noel's market was tepid this year, which caused him to accept OKC's two-year, $3.7 million deal. He'll have to put his lost 2017-18 campaign in Dallas behind him and be on his best behavior this year to score a bigger payday down the road. Playing well as the backup center on a stifling Thunder defense could afford him that opportunity, especially if he demonstrates the ability to switch assignments freely.
Dennis Schroder will be OKC's biggest defensive wild card, as he's been horrendous on that end of the court for much of his career. At 6'2″ with a 6'8″ wingspan, he has the physical tools to become an above-average defender, as he was during the 2015-16 season. But much like Anthony, his effort on that end of the floor waxes and wanes unexpectedly.
Since Schroder will be shouldering a much smaller offensive load with the Thunder as a backup point guard, he should theoretically be able to devote more energy toward defense. That could help him rehabilitate his image around the league, too, after Atlanta soured on him enough to salary-dump him. While he's signed for three more seasons, he'll need to become far more well-rounded to get another fat contract down the road.
It may be tricky for OKC to regularly manufacture points outside of George, Schroder and Russell Westbrook, as Roberson, Grant, Noel and Adams are all defensive-minded players. Rather than emulate the Rockets or Denver Nuggets and attempt to outscore all challengers, the Thunder should play into their strengths and lean on their defense to carry them.
If nothing else, it beats the alternative of relying on Westbrook to jack up 30-plus shots per game.
