Pat, pat. And here's a marvelous convenient place for our rehearsal. This green plot shall be our stage, this hawthorn-brake our tiring-house, and we will do it in action as we will do it before the duke.

There are things in this comedy of Pyramus and Thisbe that will never work. First of all, Pyramus has to take out a sword to kill himself, which the ladies in the audience won't be able to stand. What should we do about that?
By 'r lakin, a parlous fear.
By God, that's a real problem, it's true.
I think we'll have to leave out all the killing, come to think of it.
Not a whit. I have a device to make all well. Write me a prologue, and let the prologue seem to say we will do no harm with our swords, and that Pyramus is not killed indeed. And for the more better assurance, tell them that I, Pyramus, am not Pyramus, but Bottom the weaver. This will put them out of fear.
Not at all! I've got a plan that will fix everything. Write me a prologue that I can recite to the audience before the play starts. I'll tell them that we won't hurt anyone with our swords, and that Pyramus isn't really dead. And to make it even clearer, we can tell them that I'm playing Pyramus but I'm not really Pyramus—really, I'm Bottom the weaver. That'll keep them from being afraid.

What Is a Multi-Story Building?
By Staff WriterLast Updated Apr 8, 2020 12:00:36 AM ET
Phoebe/CC-BY-2.0
A multi-story building is a building that supports two or more floors above ground. There is no formal restriction on the height of such a building or the number of floors a multi-story building may contain, though taller buildings do face more practical difficulties.
A multi-story building may be designed as a place of business, such as a hospital, a law firm, a casino, a mall or a government building. Other types of multi-story buildings include apartment compounds and local museums. Some communities include many multi-story apartment buildings to provide adequate housing within the local area, or to meet the housing needs of a growing community.

Police in Harare today used tear gas and water cannons to disperse crowds gathering for the NERA Mega Demo to demand electoral reforms. The demonstration, called by 18 political parties (including MDC-T, MDC-N, Zim PF, PDP, Renewal Democrats of Zimbabwe, Mavambo/Kusile/Dawn, Transform Zimbabwe, Freedom Front, Zanu Ndonga, ADP, PDZ, Dare, Zim First, Zunde, FreeZim Congress) was given permission from the High Court to go ahead from 12 noon – 4pm at the open space behind Rainbow Towers. By 9am there was a heavy presence of police all over Harare with multiple roadblocks on major roads leading into the Central Business District. Large stones were thrown across Rotten Row, blocking traffic. Protesters were chased away from Freedom Square and regrouped singing in front of Rotten Row Magistrate Court. Police dispersed them from there as well. Demonstrators regrouped in small numbers singing and protesting in Harare's Central Business District. In the afternoon, demonstrators including political party leaders regrouped at the open space. They were blocked by police who refused to allow the demonstration to proceed, despite being shown the High Court order. In the High Court order giving the go ahead for the Mega Demo, Justice Mwayera ordered the police not to interfere with the demonstration and to respect the law and international statutes.
Weak presence of leadership from NERA political parties and low turn out of party members made it easy for police to disperse protesters and effectively ban the demo, despite the High Court go ahead.
How do you see it? Share your views.
Political leadership still reluctant to go to the forefront. It is as if they are waiting for the supporters to lead. The leaders want to lead from behind.
The art of confusion is even ruining the state to its grave! Because when you pass a law in any house you should know you are passing it even on yourself. It's utter nuisance when it's your bitter pill to swallow.
Very concerning that there was weak leadership. It might mean true leadership is yet to emerge – and that the real crisis in Zimbabwe is lack of leadership.
Am glad you see it well. I second your idea that fear will never bring this change. Leaders showing fear on their endeavours.
They have to stand firm these guys because Zanu PF never quit this system.
It's such a sad situation that leaders of the opposition political parties have developed cold feet. A revolution needs men and women of spine. Amadhodha sibili. So it's up to them whether they have the political will to lead supporters from the front or from at home.
These leaders are letting people down their presence was going to inspire people.

State Renewable Energy Standards Under Attack from GOP Legislators
Legislators in Montana, Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri are trying to weaken or dismantle RPS policies, creating instability in clean energy markets
Republican legislators in Montana, Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri are separately trying to weaken or dismantle the renewable portfolio standards in their states, which are seen as crucial to U.S. efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and develop a globally competitive clean economy.
Officials pushing the bills say that energy prices soar and consumers suffer when utilities are required to allocate a certain percentage of electricity from renewable sources like wind and solar. Clean energy groups counter that lowering the bar on state renewable energy policies would stifle new investment and kill jobs.
If passed, the bills would go against the trend among most states to strengthen standards and attract clean energy developers by creating a market for renewables, said Jessica Shipley, a fellow at the Washington-based .
"I suspect [the bills] have to do with the recent tough economic times and the concern that regulations impose additional costs on businesses," she told SolveClimate News. "But I wouldn't consider it a big movement to repeal RPS across the board."

Developers continue to push the pipeline and gasification plants, while opponents call it an irresponsible idea that will perpetuate fossil fuel reliance
By Kari Lydersen,
A pipeline to carry carbon dioxide from Midwestern coal gasification plants to Gulf Coast oil fields — announced with much fanfare in 2009 — is currently in a holding pattern with no confirmed suppliers.
Proposed gasification plants that have signed contracts to supply the carbon dioxide are facing numerous hurdles, including legislative roadblocks, local opposition and low natural gas prices that make expensive coal-based substitutes unattractive by comparison.
But developers and proponents continue to push the pipeline and gasification plants as a linchpin of the Midwest's energy future, while opponents call it a financially and environmentally irresponsible idea that will ultimately perpetuate reliance on fossil fuels.

Coral Bleaching Outbreak in Thailand Shutting Dive Sites and Slowing Tourism
The bleaching in Thailand is causing the most extensive coral damage in the country's history, some say, triggering the closing of 18 popular diving sites
By David Wilson
CHIANG MAI—In what experts are calling a slow disaster in the making, up to 90 percent of coral in the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea has been bleached, resulting in state shutdowns of affected areas and projected annual losses into the millions.
Many observers say the cause of the latest bleaching outbreak is extreme heat stress due to climate change, as ocean temperatures hover around 30 degrees Celsius (86 Fahrenheit).
"If there is a long-term solution to the Thai problem — and the global problem — it lies in finding a realistic alternative to the combustion of fossil fuels, thus reducing the CO2 being pumped into the atmosphere," said Monty Halls, a spokesperson for the UK-based (SCCT), who warned that it is quickly becoming too late for the world's corals.
The bleaching in Thailand is said to be the worst in 20 years or more, while damage to the corals may well be the worst the country's ever seen, said Kasemsan Jinnawaso, director-general of the state's Marine and Coastal Resources Department. He told Thailand's Nation newspaper that the coral destruction could be more severe than when the 2004 tsunami struck Thailand's shores.

China to Unveil Environmental Tax on Major Polluters Next Month
After three decades of dirty growth, China will unveil an ambitious, five-year cleanup plan. But skeptics question if the new proposals will have teeth
Jonathan Watts,
China is to impose an environmental tax on heavy polluters under an ambitious cleanup strategy being finalized in Beijing, according to experts familiar with the program.
The tax will be included alongside the world's most ambitious renewable energy scheme and fresh efforts to fight smog when the government unveils the biggest, greenest five-year plan in China's modern history next month.
After three decades of filthy growth, the measures are designed to pull the country from the environmental mire and make it a leader in the low-carbon economy. But skeptics question whether the policy will have any more success than previous failed efforts to overcome the nexus of corrupt officials and rule-dodging factory bosses.

Pres. Obama unwittingly visits a wind plant that could go under if Gov. Walker's policy rollback occurs. Solar, however, is being left to flourish for now
President Obama's recent visit to a Wisconsin town to trumpet its cleantech success has inadvertently shone a spotlight on the state's new governor and his plans to reverse a law that advocates say is needed for the wind industry to stay afloat.

Natural Gas Drilling Fells 1,000 Trees in W. Va. Forest, Scientists Say
In one of the first studies to observe the full course of drilling, scientists found that a well and a pipeline killed trees but did not affect groundwater
By Nicholas Kusnetz,
A by the U.S. Forest Service offers one of the most detailed accounts yet of how natural gas drilling can affect a forest — in this case the , deep in the mountains of West Virginia.
The report traces the construction and drilling of a single well and an accompanying pipeline on a sliver of the 4,700-acre forest that federal scientists have been studying for nearly 80 years. It found that the project felled or killed about 1,000 trees, damaged roads, eroded the land and — perhaps most important — permanently removed a small slice of the forest from future scientific research.
The report said the drilling didn't appear to have a substantial effect on groundwater quality. The scientists did not monitor the forest's most sensitive ecosystems, including extensive caves, and did not evaluate the operation's impact on wildlife. The authors also did not test for any of the chemicals added to drilling and hydraulic fracturing fluids.
The report, and the well in question, hints at a larger story of the tensions that have emerged as drilling expands across federal lands in the eastern United States.

The Trumps vs. de Blasio on NYC Crime
President Donald Trump and his son Eric both took shots this week at New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, saying crime has risen in the city under his leadership. That's wrong, according to crime data kept by the New York Police Department.
Major felony offenses have dropped every year de Blasio has served as the city's mayor, according to New York Police Department data. Other felonies are down. Misdemeanors are down. Arrests are down.
According to FBI crime data, New York City had a lower violent crime rate than all but two other cities with a population over 1 million in 2017.
Nonetheless, in a Twitter spat with de Blasio on May 14, Eric Trump claimed that under de Blasio's leadership "crime is up" in New York City.
Spare me? First you have never created a job in your life. Second, our great city has gone to shit under your leadership. Crime is up, the men & women of the NYPD detest you, homelessness is rampant, our streets are dirty and people are leaving our city in record numbers. https://t.co/3Fn1glQJEa
— Eric Trump (@EricTrump) May 14, 2019
Two days later, de Blasio, a Democrat, announced his bid for the presidency. That prompted President Trump to sarcastically tweet that "if you like high taxes & crime, he's your man."
The Dems are getting another beauty to join their group. Bill de Blasio of NYC, considered the worst mayor in the U.S., will supposedly be making an announcement for president today. He is a JOKE, but if you like high taxes & crime, he's your man. NYC HATES HIM!
Whether "NYC HATES HIM! [de Blasio]" as the president claims, is a matter of opinion, of course. De Blasio was reelected mayor in 2017 with 66 percent of the vote, but according to an April Quinnipiac poll, 76 percent of New Yorkers didn't want him to run for president, and only 42 percent approve of how he is handling his current job as mayor. .
We'll get to some of the other claims made by the Trumps about de Blasio's record, but let's start with crime in New York City, which data indicate is historically low.
Crime Isn't Up
As a mayoral candidate in 2013, de Blasio vowed to end the controversial stop-and-frisk policy, a get-tough-on-crime tactic of stopping people for suspicious activity that was begun under former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and expanded under former Mayor Michael Bloomberg. As it faced court challenges, the policy was well on its way out by the time de Blasio took office in early 2014, but it was greatly reduced during de Blasio's tenure.
According to online "Stop, Question and Frisk" data kept by the NYPD, those kinds of stops were at nearly 700,000 in 2011, but had declined to about 192,000 in 2013, the year before de Blasio took office, and to nearly 46,000 in 2014. They continued to decline under de Blasio's time as mayor, dipping to about 11,000 in 2018.
Although many critics warned it would spur a return to higher crime rates, that didn't happen.
"Crime is definitely not up under de Blasio," said Patrick Sharkey, a sociology professor at New York University, who created a website that tracks data on murder for large cities.
"The best measure of crime that we have is the murder rate," Sharkey told us. "Under de Blasio, the murder rate has stayed very consistent but overall, it has fallen slightly — it rose a bit in 2015 and 2016 and fell in 2017 and 2018. Last year was the lowest point for the city's murder rate on record. Over 2,000 people were murdered in New York City in each year of the early 1990s, and last year there were 295 murders.
"New York City is now one of the 3 or 4 safest big cities (500,000 or more people) in the country," Sharkey said in an email. "Perhaps more important, de Blasio has overseen a complete transformation of policing in the city. He ended the use of stop, question, and frisk as a central tactic of policing — about 12,000 people were stopped by the NYPD last year, compared to roughly 700,000 at the peak before he took office. Arrests are down and summonses are also way down. I view the transformation of policing (and the criminal justice system) in NYC as a proof of concept for cities trying to find ways to keep violence low while also reducing the impact of the [criminal justice] system and the harm done by aggressive policing."
According to data from the NYPD, the total number of the seven major felony offenses — murder/manslaughter, rape, robbery, felony assault, burglary, grand larceny and grand larceny of a motor vehicle — has gradually declined every year under de Blasio's time as mayor. Those types of crime dropped from 111,335 in 2013, the year before de Blasio took office, to 95,883 in 2018. That's a nearly 14 percent drop.
The number of murders, 295 in 2018, was up three from 2017, but down nearly 12 percent from the number in 2013. Robberies, burglaries, and grand larcenies and car thefts are all down. The number of felony assaults has remained about the same. And the number of rapes — 1,794 in 2018 — has gone up 30 percent since 2013.
The total number of "Non Seven Major Felonies" is also down. Those crimes — which include possession of stolen property, forgery/identity theft, arson, sex crimes, felony drug and weapons offenses, and criminal mischief — dropped 8.6 percent between 2013 and 2018, to 52,667.
And the number of misdemeanors declined 24.4 percent between 2013 and 2018, to 271,630. That includes possession of stolen property, drugs and weapons, as well as driving while intoxicated and criminal trespass.
The number of arrests is also down. According to data kept by the state, total arrests in New York City have declined every year under de Blasio, going from 313,513 in 2013 to 205,556 in 2018 — a 34 percent drop. Broken down, there was a nearly 13 percent drop in felony arrests over that period and a 43 percent drop in misdemeanor arrests.
In 2017, the latest full year available for city-specific data from the FBI's Uniform Crime Report, New York City had the third lowest violent crime rate among the 11 cities with a population of more than 1 million. The city's violent crime rate that year — 539 violent crimes per 100,000 population — was the lowest since at least 1985, the last year available on the UCR's online search tool.
"Crime rates are down for murder and most other interpersonal crimes of violence and theft (other than rapes — where the reporting rate by victims may have increased)," Andrew Karmen, a professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City, told us via email.
Those declines came even as de Blasio greatly scaled back "the harsh tactics pursued by Mayors Giuliani and Bloomberg for 20 years" — "excessive stopping and frisking" and "excessive arresting for minor quality of life infractions," Karmen said.
"In other words, even though the NYPD under de Blasio's two [police] commissioners was compelled to cut back on the two 'get tough' approaches touted by Giuliani and Bloomberg as absolutely necessary to maintain public safety, the crime rates in NYC have continued to drift downward, as they have since 1990," Karmen said. "They certainly have not shot up as hardliners predicted and as Trump has mistakenly tweeted."
Fleeing NYC?
As for Eric Trump's claim that "people are leaving our city in record numbers," the city's population of 8.4 million in 2018 was nearly identical to what it was in 2013, the year before de Blasio took office, according to U.S. Census estimates. But there's more to the story than that.
After rising during de Blasio's first couple years in office, New York City's total population declined between 2016 and 2017, and again between 2017 and 2018 — the first time the city had seen a decline in total population in more than a decade.
Although the city's population has remained about the same during de Blasio's time in office, the city has been "losing" people in the sense that there are more people moving out of the city than are moving in from other parts of the United States, explained Frank Donnelly, the geospatial data librarian at Baruch College CUNY and co-author of the 2018 paper, "New Yorkers on the Move: Recent Migration Trends for the City and Metro Area."
But that's not new under de Blasio. The net domestic out-migration, as it is called, is a long, historical trend, Donnelly told us via email.
So how has the population of New York City mostly climbed over the last decade despite the net domestic out-migration? "In the 21st century this loss has been offset by natural increase (more births than deaths in the city) plus a large influx of foreign migrants," Donnelly explained. "These outweigh any loss in domestic migration and have been the reason why NYC has been growing."
In the last two years, foreign immigration has dipped (from 63,223 in 2016 to just under 50,000 in 2017 and 2018) and net domestic out-migration has climbed (from 71,314 in 2013, the year before he took office, to 137,191 in 2018). "This tipped the scales from growth to loss," Donnelly said.
But for Eric Trump to claim that people are "leaving the city in record numbers" is embellishment, Donnelly said. "Domestic out-migration this decade hasn't been as high as it was in the late 20th century," Donnelly said, as "lots of young people have been moving to the city, offsetting people moving out to some degree."
"Most experts would agree that NYC population growth has been strong in the 21st century – certainly not the high growth you see in cities down South and out West, but exceptional for an older Northeastern city that's built out and densely populated," Donnelly said.
As for Eric Trump's claim that "you have never created a job in your life," we assume Trump was talking about as an employer. But what about de Blasio's record as mayor? Responding via Twitter, de Blasio said, "NYC's jobs are at record highs."
We have long cautioned readers about taking boasts of all-time highs in employment with a grain of salt, that it is not such a remarkable accomplishment when the population continues to rise. We also have repeatedly warned that elected officials often get too much credit and blame for employment trends, which are often driven by forces outside their control.
With those caveats, we note that the number of people employed in New York City increased from 4,087,900 in January 2014 — the month de Blasio took office — to 4,650,400 in April, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That's a 13.8 percent increase, better than the national 9.8 percent increase over the same period.
The unemployment rate in New York City went from 8.1 percent in January 2014, when de Blasio took office, and has steadily declined to 4.3 percent in April. Nationally, the unemployment rate went from 6.6 percent in January 2014 to 3.6 percent in April.
"Crime is up" in New York City under Mayor Bill de Blasio's leadership.

There are devices of all shapes and sizes in existence today. From palm size Blackberry to gigantic desktop monitors and everything in between, screen sizes differ immensely. This has created some unique challenges for web designers. Each page essentially has to be recreated and modified to fit each of these screens. Well, that was the way, but that is becoming a method of the past as it is becoming increasingly difficult for designers, professionals and those in charge of web creation to keep up with the varying screen sizes, resolutions and requirements.
In order to address this issue, designers are turning to responsive web design. This is an approach that involves the web design and development being a result of or in response to a given user's behaviour based on their screen size, and other considerations.
This extremely intelligent method combines complex yet flexible grids and layouts as well as images and advanced CSS designs. The integration is at such a high and complex level that the website will adapt if you switch from your laptop to your phone. This means it would be the EXACT same website across different devices, whereas you may notice some mobile sites differ from their desktop version, which is largely in part due to the different requirements to fit the site to your phone screen.
There are evidently many potential issues or hurdles with this web design, including the actual page's responsiveness as it needs to be configured in such a way that it does not operate beyond what an iPad, tablet or phone are capable of. Those who post ads on sites may also be impacted as it will require perhaps a more simplistic style to ensure the appropriate visibility of things such as text or smaller images. Once bugs are worked out, this type of design could be a great alternative.

IBC Talks are shorter, TED-style presentations during IBC that will feature emerging industry leaders.
These talks will showcase speakers of a diverse range of careers and backgrounds who inspire and positively impact the changing global business landscape.
IBC 2019 speakers will be announced later this year.
IBC 2018 Speakers
Iman Oubou
Iman Oubou is a Moroccan American self-made entrepreneur, former beauty queen (Miss New York US 2015 and 2nd Runner Up at the 2015 Miss United States pageant) and a published scientist, on a mission to change the women's media landscape. Since receiving her BS Degree in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology from Colorado State University, and a Masters Degree in Biomedical Engineering, from the University of Colorado at Denver, Iman has been using her public image and passion for science to improve lives around the globe. She has accompanied "Mission To Heal" on medical operations in South Sudan, Nigeria, Ecuador, and organized a relief assignment in her native Morocco in 2014, where she worked with local hospitals in the Souss region. Iman continues to be a spokesperson and coordinator traveling to developing countries to help restore proper healthcare.
"I have been pursuing my career in the biomedical field and it has been a successful one," says Iman, who has pivoted into women's media after discovering undeniable white space. "I saw an opportunity to create an empowering platform of what a female-focused media brand should embody: intellect, influence and femininity. Think: Forbes meets Vogue."
Iman's move to New York City further ignited her entrepreneurial spirit. After a brief foray into the beauty industry, Iman witnessed first-hand the difficulties women in business face, and was inspired to launch her podcast, Entrepreneurs En Vogue. The broadcast, which would later blossom into her robust media platform, SWAAY, highlights the career paths of successful female entrepreneurs to inspire others to turn their dreams into reality. The podcast, which was syndicated by media conglomerate, Westwood One, would go on to become number 2 on iTunes in 2015, and was ranked in the top 5 best podcasts for women entrepreneurs by Inc. Magazine.
Through her diverse experience with business, pageantry and STEM, Iman continued to notice gender disparities in the workforce and an omnipresent bias across printed and digital media. She founded SWAAY, a digital platform for women thought leaders changing the status-quo, in 2016, to champion the voices of female changemakers through substantive, non-clickbaitcontent.
Iman's ultimate goal, which she works tirelessly to accomplish each day, is centered on creating parity for a new generation of disrupters. "I would like to build a community for us women to empower each other and insist on each other's success," says Iman. "I hope to encourage young women to think as entrepreneurs and show them that women are leaders, creators and mentors."
Garnering the attention of venture capitalists and media alike, Iman was named CIO's number one "Female Entrepreneur to Watch" in 2018 and during the focal pitch contest at the Million Dollar Women Summit, Iman beat fierce competition to gain the top investment prize.
Most recently, Iman was named the first ever "Face of Morocco" or "Visage Du Maroc" of 2018, a new initiative which uplifts female voices in Morocco and across the Middle East. In this role, Iman will not only represent women from the region, but she will also be a powerful voice on the forefront of changing the representation of females in media, both here and abroad.
Navigating the field of media and entrepreneurship, Iman can attest to the female experience of starting a business, gender bias in fundraising, women in STEM, startup culture, the digital media industry, and achieving the modern American dream. She can also share her experience in science and her devotion to philanthropic medical missions.
"Beauty can change the way women feel about themselves. I believe a woman who is confident can take over the world."
For Huda Kattan, everything begins with heart. That's the philosophy that's led her to turn what started as a simple love affair with makeup into one of the fastest-growing beauty brands in the world.
But from the outset, Kattan had a passion to empower women. She knew she was onto something big - something that would arguably change the world of beauty forever. For her, this meant going against the norms of her culture and family traditions and being a pioneer amongst Middle Eastern women in beauty. Today, Kattan is one of the most internationally recognized makeup gurus and content-creators. Guided by her expertise and eye-for-detail, Huda Beauty is not only a record-breaking brand, but is now valued at over $1 billion dollars.
With her background as a Hollywood-trained makeup artist who had already worked with celebrities like Eva Longoria, Nicole Richie, and the Royal Family, Kattan decided to launch her YouTube channel and blog in 2010. Although it began with only a couple dozen views a day, Kattan knew that by continuing to equip women with the right tools, her following would grow organically. And it did. She is currently ranked the 61st most followed person on Instagram, with over 27million followers.
As a makeup artist, Kattan would regularly customize her own false lashes. Frustrated that she could never find the style she wanted, she decided to build something to bridge the gap in the market. Kattan turned out to be a natural entrepreneur, co-founding Huda Beauty in February 2013 with her sisters Mona and Alya Kattan. Her first collection of hand-designed false eyelashes launched at Sephora and was an overnight success. The phenomenon changed the lash market on a global level. Seeing the success and ecstatic reception of her lashes, she decided to foray into an even more intimidating market: makeup. Her sophomore effort was her highly-coveted Lip Contours. Its debut at Sephora in the Dubai Mall (the largest in the world) catapulted the brand to global record-breaking heights. With line-ups of people out the door, it proved to be a knock-out first day, selling out completely within four hours.
Kattan continues to create groundbreaking products with cult-like followings. Huda's product line now includes foundation, liquid lipsticks, lip contouring pencils, 3D Highlighter Palettes and textured eyeshadow palettes, all of which have been instant best-sellers across the globe. By constantly creating new content and supporting other artists in the process, her international presence continues to rise. Today, her products are found in some of the world's leading retailers, including Sephora, Harrod's, Selfridges, Brown Thomas, Arnotts, Cultbeauty.co.uk, Net-a-Porter and Feel Unique. Born and raised in the United States, Kattan currently resides in Dubai where she continues to reinvent her beauty empire.
Kattan is leading by example. She's not only a boss but showing the world what it means to be a #BEAUTYBOSS. And this is just the beginning.

Amerks Head Coach After Loss: That's Not Acceptable
The Amerks collapsed again and lost 5-2 against the Charlotte Checkers on Friday night and head coach Chris Taylor didn't hold back saying, "I know it's a process, I know what happened last year and… but… that's not acceptable."
(Featured photo from Amerks.com)
Adam Krause and Zach Redmond scored their first goals of the season to put the Amerks up 2-0 after one but that wasn't even close to enough.
On the loss Chris Taylor said, "We didn't play with confidence, we didn't finish hits, we didn't do anything very well tonight. It was just evident. We were lucky to be up 2-0 after the 1st."
Unable to score on a 5 on 3 power play pushed all of the momentum to the Checkers and they ran with it. Linus Ullmark allowed four goals in the second period before being replaced by Adam Wilcox who allowed the final goal against in the third period.
It wasn't a pretty game and a crowd of only 3,021 likely left thinking about alternate plans for the next home game even though it's only four games into the season.
The Amerks are back at home on Saturday night against the Utica Comets and Taylor didn't hold back in what he expects, "How we played tonight I expect that we come out and play strong and hard and you know, playing like we want to play like men."
Adam Krause looking to Saturday, "We need to put a 60 minute game together, 20 minutes was obviously not enough tonight."
The positives of the game:
Through four games the Amerks are 100% on the penalty kill.
Zach Redmond found a bright spot, "I think we have everything it takes to win. Everyone in here is really close. It's a good team. I've been on a few teams now and this one has everything it needs to make it to the playoffs and beyond."
Those who saw the game are likely guaranteed to disagree.

Taste is a very subjective thing. Some people like strong flavours while others prefer subtle ones.
Do not be afraid to add more or less than what we advise as you might find it works better for you. This is just to be used as a guide to help you along the way.
Please keep in mind, different brands have different levels of strength. So a strawberry from one brand may only require 3 drops while others may require 5. Just keep that in mind.
For some recipes such as baking, icing or gelatin based recipes, it may be worth pre-diluting the flavour down in a measurement of water that would have been used anyway in the mixture. That way you can check the intensity of the flavour to see if you need a little more or less.
If you are new to this we would advise not going full throttle. Take a minute, think about what you are trying to achieve. Once we send a flavour out to you, it's yours and cannot be returned for hygiene reasons. If you're unsure on a new flavour we recommend the 10ml to start off with. We would not want you to buy a large amount of a cherry flavour, for example, only to find out is more of a natural flavour and you wanted a glacé cherry (the ones you get around Christmas in the syrup).
So you have tried it in a small batch and know that 6 drops work in 100ml of water but you need 500ml for what you are trying to achieve.
Simply multiply the amount you need with the drop amount. For example you need the 500ml we mentioned previously and you have tried it in the 100ml. Just times 6 x 5 = 30. So for the 500ml you will need 30 drops of concentrate. Easy!

Google Celebrating Shirley Temple, "Little Miss Miracle", With A Doodle
Jun 9, 2021 - 15:43 Updated: Jun 9, 2021 - 16:08
https://www.google.com/doodles/celebrating-shirley-temple
Google celebrated the iconic Hollywood child star Shirley Temple with an animated Doodle. On this day in 2015, the Santa Monica History Museum opened "Love, Shirley Temple," which is a special exhibit featuring a collection of her rare memorabilia. Google created the animated doodle features Shirley Temple as a diplomat, an award-winning actor and as a young dancing girl. The search engine's name appears at the bottom of the Doodle on three movie stubs.
the American actor, singer, dancer, and diplomat - was honoured by Google Doodle on Wednesday. "From a child star to a trailblazing actress and an accomplished diplomat, today's Google Doodle celebrates Shirley Temple and all she did to set the stage for women achievers around the world," Google India wrote on Twitter.
Shirley Jane Temple was born on April 23, 1928 in Santa Monica, California, and began dance classes at the tender age of three. With her signature dimples, blonde ringlet curls, and strong work ethic, she captivated the nation when she landed a role in the 1934 toe-tapping musical "Stand Up And Cheer." Temple starred in a dozen films in 1934 alone, including "Bright Eyes," where she performed what became one of her most famous routines "On the Good Ship Lollipop." Before she even reached double digits in age, Temple was one of the most popular actors in American cinema—even becoming the first child star to receive an Academy Award at just six years old!
In 1942, Temple's unprecedented talent jumped from the silver screen to the airwaves as the star of "Junior Miss," a radio sitcom about a teenage girl growing up in New York City. She continued to star in films throughout her teenage years, and at 22, she retired from the movie industry as a Hollywood icon. In 1958, Temple narrated the eponymous "Shirley Temple's Storybook," a children's television series which adapted family-friendly stories—sometimes even filmed live. This short-lived anthology marked her final foray in American entertainment before her graceful transition into full-time public service.
Shirley Temple was appointed as a representative of the US to the United Nations in 1969. Her career in politics included her dedicated environmentalism, representing her nation at the 1972 UN Conference on the Human Environment. In recognition of her diplomatic achievements, which included an ambassadorship to Ghana and becoming the first female Chief of Protocol to the State Department, she was appointed an Honorary Foreign Service Officer in 1988.
In 2006, the Screen Actors Guild presented Temple with its Lifetime Achievement Award, the organization's highest honor.
She died on February 10, 2014, aged 85, at her home in California. She is buried at the Alta Mesa Memorial Park.

At the start of the summer, I wrote what a game-changer Periscope was going to become for nonprofits and businesses. If you want to read what I said then, click here.
Sure enough, I came across several articles about Periscope and how organizations are leveraging it to great effect. If you don't know about Periscope, you have to check it out. In a nutshell, Periscope is an app that you can download. It's a live stream video platform. "Scoping" is what they call the live streams.
Twitter developed Periscope and you don't need to build another social media group of supporters and followers. Periscope plugs right in to your Twitter followers.
The possibilities are endless for nonprofit and business brands. They can live stream right into Periscope (and Twitter) a conversation with their CEO. They can live stream a race or event to supporters who are unable to attend. And, since this is on social media, not only are followers able to see it, but so is the whole world.
Organizations that are doing fundraising campaigns, such as shoe drive fundraisers, can live stream their shoe collection events. Nonprofits can scope a discussion with donors about philanthropy and why they support a certain cause. Nonprofits can also assemble a group of lower gift donors to "tour" their site and services so supporters can see what they do from the comfort of their home or office.
Virtually any event, talk, conference can be scoped. You're only limited by your imagination and creativity.
Make sure you have practiced before hand to live streaming an event. We did two "practice" scopes that we did not promote until we got the hang of it.
When you turn on the camera, be ready. You want to be sure the person who is filming has good video and your followers don't want to see you figuring it out. In other words, know in advance if the camera needs to be closer. You want to be close to the action. Know if you need a tripod or if will someone be filming it with a smart phone or tablet?
Promote your live stream. We created social media banners and posts about it that we are promoting across our varying social media platforms. At first you may only get one or two people who see your scope. But, like anything, you have to get the word out there, make it interesting and it'll grow.
Make sure you use the correct #hashtags so people can find you on Twitter. We use several, but when we promote our scoping events, we use #Funds2Orgs and #shoedrive, for example.
Make sure each time you scope that there's a story. While the first few times people watch Persicope for the live streams out of curiosity, you'll quickly find that they want to engage. It's no different than in any other form of marketing. You want to tell a compelling story.
Finally, on-camera personalities need to be ready for anything. Make sure your moderator or speakers are prepared to answer questions and make comments based on engagement. Remember, your supporters can type in questions or comments that appear onscreen. Periscope is about full engagement.

Brazilian Military Police Turns Protest Into a Warzone
BRAZIL: The police brutally represses 150,000 protesters in Brasilia.
Image from G1
Left Voice's second issue, "Women on the Front Lines", is now available for purchase. For every magazine sold, we are donating $1 to a worker controlled factory in Argentina.
150,000 protesters gathered in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil were brutally repressed at a protest by the police, national guard and other security forces. For the first time since the military dictatorship, the military was called in to the capital to "keep the peace". The protest, supported by labor unions, left groups and social movements was against anti-worker austerity measures. It was also against President Temer, who came to power through an institutional coup. Last week a recording emerged of Temer endorsing massive bribes.

The unifying call is "Fora Temer" or "Out with Temer". While an increasing number of people call for Temer's resignation, he responded by saying that he would not step down. "If you want me out, you have to topple me" he said ('Se quiserem, me derrubem').
The brutal repression in Brasilia led to many hospitalizations. Tear gas and rubber bullets were used against protesters, and one was injured by a gun. The blood bank is even calling for blood donations due to the number of injuries.
Protesters, fed up and angry with the impunity of the corrupt government, set fire to the Ministry of Agriculture.
Protests were also held in Rio de Janiero, where there was also police repression and a Black woman and student from the Rural University of Rio de Janeiro was arrested.

On January 8, thousands of supporters of former president Jair Bolsonaro stormed the three branches of Brazil's government to demand the military institute a coup against president Lula da Silva. While the government makes deals with the Right and uses these events to consolidate support, workers and the oppressed must use their own methods to confront the Right.

Our people are scared
As deaths mount, Standing Rock Sioux Tribe charts its own path fighting COVID-19.
Story by Chris Serres • Photos by Richard Tsong-Taatarii • Star Tribune • Dec. 31, 2020
The death of husband and wife Jesse "Jay" and Cheryl Taken Alive due to COVID-19 delivered a major blow to the clan and the Standing Rock Tribe. They were buried on a family plot south of Cannon Ball, N.D., overlooking the Missouri River. (photo: Richard Tsong-Taatarii)
WAKPALA, S.D. – At moments when she is overcome with grief, Anna Mellette quietly unlocks the door to the bedroom that once belonged to her beloved son Jared, who was affectionately known as "Doy Doy" on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation where his family lives.
Mellette has kept the room untouched like a shrine since Jared, who was 24, died suddenly of the novel coronavirus in early December. Sometimes Mellette will press one of her son's checkered flannel shirts against her nose, and his scent will bring back vivid memories of him playing with his nephews and nieces on the reservation.
"I kept hoping and praying that Doy Doy would get better and come home, but it never happened," Mellette said, sobbing.
For generations, the Lakota and Dakota people who live on Standing Rock in the Dakotas have been famously self-resilient and isolated from the hustle of the outside world. Many families still lack internet access or computers. Hospitals are distant, and an ambulance can take 90 minutes to arrive. Many homes rely on delivered propane for heat. And radio remains the main source of news — broadcast from a tribal radio station high on the windswept prairie.
But the qualities that have long made Standing Rock distinctive — the wide-open remoteness of its landscape and its strong tradition of close-knit familial ties — have also made this community of 8,000 particularly vulnerable to the highly infectious and deadly virus.
The 3,625-square-mile reservation, which avoided the worst of the pandemic during the spring and summer, has rapidly devolved into one of the most alarming hot zones in the Midwest. Coronavirus infections at Standing Rock have surged more than 400% since the summer, from 106 cases in early August to 550 cases in late November, according to data from the tribe.
Burial ceremonies have become an almost daily ritual at the hilltop cemeteries on the reservation. Many families have had two, three or more relatives die from the virus. COVID-related deaths are now so frequent that the Teton Times, a local newspaper, is running five pages of obituaries a week.
Crowded housing conditions and poor access to health care have left many families feeling viscerally unsafe as the virus has tightened its clench on the small towns that lie low in the reservation's deep river valleys.
"Never did I imagine that this virus would affect us so deeply," said Virgil Taken Alive, a Lakota elder who has lost three close relatives, including a brother, to the virus.
Across the nation, Indigenous communities — from the Navajo Nation in the Southwest to the Red Lake Band of Chippewa in northern Minnesota — have been more prone to contract the respiratory disease because of crowded housing, underfunded health systems and more chronic health problems. American Indian and Alaskan Native people have been nearly twice as likely to die of COVID-19 than whites, according to a recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The death rates among some tribes are among the highest in the country. In South Dakota, American Indians account for 14% of all coronavirus cases, but they represent just 1% of the overall population.
The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and its vast territory, which straddles both Dakotas, have long held a special place among the Indigenous peoples of North America. It was where Sitting Bull, the great Hunkpapa Lakota chief, was murdered when he refused to sell or lease the land to the U.S. government.
In 2016, Standing Rock drew global attention to the Indigenous struggle for water rights and recognition when thousands of people descended on a camp near the reservation to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline.
For much of the pandemic, Standing Rock appeared to fare better than the rest of the region. Unlike much of South Dakota, whose governor has refused to encourage people to wear masks or socially distance, safety measures are taken seriously on the reservation. Mask-wearing is mandated and quarantines are strictly enforced.
The tribe closely tracks every member infected with the virus, and deploys security monitors to keep round-the-clock surveillance over households in quarantine.
To encourage people to stay at home, roving teams of "food runners" have been delivering large boxes of food twice a week to households on the reservation.
On a recent afternoon, the teams could be seen cruising through the reservation towns of Little Eagle and Bullhead, honking and running from door to door with boxes of fresh vegetables and meat. No home was missed as dogs chased the trucks through the streets.
The regular food deliveries have been a critical life support, enabling families to avoid perilous trips to stores off the reservation, where mask-wearing is less common.
"Kinship is how we survived as a people. It's a way of life," said Avis Little Eagle, a councilwoman for the Standing Rock tribe and editor of the Teton Times. "You step up when your relatives are suffering."
But tribal health officials noticed a troubling surge following the summer months, when families began spending more time indoors. By Christmas, at least 22 tribal members had died from the respiratory disease and 30 people were actively battling the virus, according to the tribe's data.
The rising death toll has stoked divisions within the community over the tribe's pandemic response, which some on the reservation contend has not been aggressive enough. This spring, both the nearby Cheyenne River Sioux and Oglala Sioux tribes installed multiple traffic checkpoints on roads leading into their sovereign lands, strictly limiting access to tribal members.
But Standing Rock has stayed open, and non-Native visitors continue to pour into its two casinos on the reservation. "Some of my people have no ears," said Virgil Taken Alive, repeating the sentence in his native Lakota language.
There are reasons the coronavirus has been especially lethal in this community. It is common for multiple generations of the same family — including aunts, uncles and grandparents — to live under the same roof, making social distancing impossible. Housing is so scarce that a dozen or more relatives live in many of the two-bedroom mobile homes that dot the reservation. Older citizens of Standing Rock also tend to suffer from serious health conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease, that make them more susceptible to dying from the disease.
Sharon Eagle, the matriarch of a large Lakota family, watched nervously as three of her grandchildren chased each other in circles around her mobile home on the reservation. She requires the children to wear masks outside, knowing the respiratory disease would be impossible to contain if it infiltrated her crowded home.
Fourteen members of the Eagle family, including a 1-year-old, share the three-bedroom house.
For months, the Eagle family has been afraid to venture beyond the reservation and has scraped by with donated food. But now, even their small neighborhood feels unsafe. A 16-year-old girl who lives across the street, and who often played with the Eagle children, fell into a coma after contracting the virus at a volleyball tournament, she said.
"Our people are scared," said Eagle, 66, who prays for her family's safety beneath a wall adorned with wooden crosses and Lakota necklaces. "The sorrow never ends, because every day you hear about another relative who is sick or who has died."
Jonathan Edwards, a retired emergency medical technician from McLaughlin, S.D., said some tribal members are dying unnecessarily from COVID-19 because the reservation's few ambulances serve an area larger than Delaware and Rhode Island combined; and virus-stricken residents suffering from respiratory distress are not getting to the hospital quickly enough.
Edwards, who runs a nonprofit dedicated to increasing life expectancy on the reservation, has been delivering masks and other medical supplies from a rickety old van that he starts by turning a screwdriver in the ignition.
"We have systemic inequities here that existed long before the pandemic — and have been magnified by COVID," Edwards said.
The recent deaths of several of Standing Rock's most respected elders have amplified the communal grief that has enveloped this community.
On Dec. 14, Jesse "Jay" Taken Alive, considered among the greatest Lakota leaders since Sitting Bull, died of complications related to COVID-19 — about a month after his wife, Cheryl Taken Alive, succumbed to the virus.
A former chairman of the tribe, Jesse Taken Alive was a relentless advocate for upholding Standing Rock's treaty rights and preserving Lakota culture. His advocacy led Congress to pass a bill in 1990 that outlines how Native American remains and artifacts are to be returned to ancestral sites.
Taken Alive was also among an older generation of tribal members who spoke fluent Lakota and taught the language to young people on the reservation.
His death has reminded people on Standing Rock of the grave threat the pandemic poses to the tribe's cultural traditions. When the Moderna coronavirus vaccine finally arrived on the reservation before Christmas, priority was given to tribal members who are fluent in the Lakota language. "We are losing our national treasures," said Avis Little Eagle.
While the rising death toll has spurred feelings of despair, many Standing Rock members have found strength and solace in their traditions.
With the first light of dawn, Brandon Claymore arose and stepped out of a small camper parked amid the prairie grass near the powwow grounds at Fort Yates, N.D. A frigid wind was blowing and snow was already piling up against the icy windows of the camper where he has been confined since contracting the coronavirus in early December.
Claymore said he became sickened within a week after starting work at the Prairie Knights Casino and Resort in Fort Yates. Dressed in a jumpsuit, Claymore would empty the slot machines of their cash and sort the bills — a job that he now believes exposed him to the virus. "I always wore a mask but it didn't matter — COVID was on the money," he said.
Within days after he tested positive, the microscopic killer infected four other members of the crowded home where he lives with nine of his relatives. Fearing more would get sick, Claymore moved into one of several campers erected by the tribe to separate infected residents.
Despite its small size, the camper is equipped with a bed, indoor plumbing and a flat-screen television. "It gets pretty lonely out here, but I know the community is watching over me," Claymore said. "Generosity has always moved our people forward."
At the other end of the reservation, Waniya Locke, a Lakota language teacher and water rights activist, has been making jars of homemade elderberry syrup and other natural, immune-building remedies. Bags of herbs native to the region lay strewn about her cluttered living room overlooking the Missouri River.
She and a team of volunteers deliver the remedies to elders too sick or frail to venture out of their homes.
"The reality is the Lakota and Dakota people have been in a state of emergency for generations because of systemic oppression," Locke said as she stirred a fresh batch of elderberry syrup. "We already have the skills to survive."
One day this fall, Jared Mellette spoke to his mother of his dreams to one day attend college, get married and start a family of his own.
Just weeks later, he emerged from his bedroom looking fatigued and gasping for breath. Paramedics carried him out of his family's house on a stretcher — the last time that his mother saw her son alive.
Later he was flown to the University of Minnesota Medical Center in Minneapolis, where he died on Dec. 6 — the youngest person on the reservation to be claimed by the virus.
"I wish my brother was right along with me now, and we could have all those years back," said a grieving Kyle Mellette of Aberdeen, S.D. "I'm sure he would have made a great father."
Days before Christmas, the sound of women sobbing carried on the morning breeze as tribal members gathered outside a school gym in Wakpala, S.D., for Jared Mellette's funeral.
One by one, men and women dressed in red-and-black shirts — in memory of Mellette's favorite colors — approached the open casket as mourners sang hymns in Lakota. His mother leaned over her son's body, stroked his long dark hair and whispered "I love you Doy Doy" over and over.
Then she gently pressed her face against her son's forehead and kissed him one last time.

Ţăndărică is een marionetten- en poppentheater in Boekarest, Roemenië. Het theater werd in 1945 opgericht en werd meermaals onderscheiden met belangrijke prijzen.

In 2008 wijzigde het theater de volledige naam (vertaald) van Ţăndărică Poppentheater in Ţăndărică Animatietheater.

Geschiedenis
Ţăndărică werd in 1945 als poppentheater opgericht door regisseur Nicolae Massim, actrice Lucia Calomeri en de decorontwerpers Elena Pătrăşcanu en Lena Constante.

De eerste formatie poppenspelers bestond uit onder meer Dorina Tǎnǎsescu en Antigona Papazicopol, waarbij de stemacteurs werden ingehuurd van het Nationale Theater. Met deze groep had Massim de regie over de eerste marionettenshow van Roemenië: Cu Țăndărică spre Mările Sudului (Met Ţăndărică naar de Zuidelijke Zeeën).

In 1949 moest Massim om politieke redenen aftreden en werd hij opgevolgd door zijn pupil Margareta Niculescu, voor wie hij een belangrijke mentor bleef. Niculescu was decennialang betrokken bij de internationale organisatie voor poppentheater, UNIMA, en won met het theater in 1978 de Erasmusprijs, samen met andere internationale poppenspelers: de Napoli-broers (La Marionettistica), Yves Joly (Tragédie de Papier) en Peter Schumann (Bread and Puppet). Ze wordt tegenwoordig beschouwd als de stichter van het moderne poppentheater in Roemenië.

Tot 1989 stonden de optredens in het teken van de introductie van nieuwe vormen van expressie in animatietheater, zoals met De kleine prins, Peter Pan, Tijl Uilenspiegel en Don Quichot.

Tussen 1986 en 1999 was Michaela Tonitza-Iordache de directeur van het theater en liet hij belangrijke stukken opvoeren, zoals A Midsummer Night's Dream (Shakespeare), Le Rappel des Oiseaux (Rameau) en The Tempest (Shakespeare), en opera's met poppen zoals Assepoester, Bastien und Bastienne (Mozart) en Il barbiere di Siviglia (Rossini).

Sinds 2000 is Călin Octavian Mocanu de directeur van het theater. Hij is daarnaast algemeen-secretaris voor de UNIMA, Niculescu was in deze tijd voorzitter. Onder zijn leiding is het theater doorgegaan op dezelfde lijn van selecties van het theaterrepertoire. Mocanu bracht titels ten tonele uit de grote klassieke Roemeense en wereldliteratuur, waaronder Păcală (De grapjas), De wolf en de drie biggetjes, Sneeuwwitje, Ali Baba en de veertig rovers en Belle en het Beest.

In de loop van de jaren werd het theater onderscheiden met de Erasmusprijs, de Nationale Prijs voor Poppen en verschillende andere grote prijzen. Ook won het theater grote festivalprijzen in onder meer Toulouse, Praag, Botoșani en Galați. Het theater was de host voor vier edities van het internationale festival voor poppentheaters, in 1958, 1960, 1965 en 1998. Het theater treedt geregeld op in het buitenland, waaronder in 1978 tijdens het Holland Festival in Amsterdam.

In 2004 werd de Lahovari-zaal geheel gerenoveerd en sindsdien wordt het theater jaarlijks door 75.000 kinderen bezocht.

Mandela Tribute Concert: Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Special Guests will perform live at the Colombia Theater in Berlin on the 20th of July 2018.
In order to honor and remember Nelson Mandela, the South African group Ladysmith Black Mambazo will perform a Tribute Concert, with the South African Indie-Pop band Dear Reader as a special guest and DJ Floyd Lavine for the after-show party.
It all started in the 1970th, when they established themselves as South Africa's most successful A Cappella formation. And they first became famous on a global level with their legendary album "Graceland" by Paul Simon. Since then they have won five Grammys and have been nominated for 19 more. They entertain their global audience with beautiful singing and impressive high level choreographies for more than five decades.
Nelson Mandela understood Ladysmith Black Mambazo as a cultural institution and invited them as musical guests for the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo and his adjuration as the President of South Africa in 1994.
The event will take place on the evening of the 20th of July 2018, in the Columbia Theatre, starting at 8 PM. Tickets cost 31 euros and can be purchased online (koka36.de).
