Honda's order sheet for the Sport leaves no room for options. Drivers who want more equipment have no choice but to opt for a higher trim, so that's where the decisions end. Simplicity is bliss. Anti-lock braking systems (ABS) are a standard feature on most cars, courtesy of legislation that has made it compulsory to fit them to mass-produced cars. The system uses electronics to optimise the effectiveness of a car's braking system, and it's a major boost in vehicle safety when compared to cars that aren't equipped with ABS that rely on the driver to make the most of the braking power available. The heart of the Accord line is powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter four backed by a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). This is the powertrain that will be found in most of the Accords sold at retail, the ones dealers push out the door every day wearing $199 monthly leases or 72 months of $300-per-month financing. A million or more Accords equipped like this will make their way onto American roads over the next several years before Honda even thinks about revising this powertrain. If you don't wind up driving a car like this yourself, it's likely someone in your immediate family will. Maybe even someone with whom you're on speaking terms. Honda's order sheet for the Sport leaves no room for options. Drivers who want more equipment have no choice but to opt for a higher trim, so that's where the decisions end. Simplicity is bliss. With BMW, Mercedes and Porsche all producing four-wheel-drive, turbocharged (and, in the Panamera's case, electrically assisted) super-saloons, the XJR 575 represents the end of a wonderful and wild era. 'Responsible performance' is now the order of the day – a memo that Jaguar must have missed, because, instead of taking this opportunity to dial out some of the XJR's wilder characteristics, it's simply accentuated them. Like handing Liam Gallagher another pint mid-gig, everything about the XJR has been turned up to 11. At Stanford, he recruited star faculty and significantly increased the number of minority and female students. Daniel's girlfriend, 21-year-old civil servant Liza Matvejera, was a fan of how you sit higher up in the Arona than you do in a supermini, such as the SEAT Ibiza. Applying more lock won't help because the front tyres have lost grip and you won't gain any more by doing so. Instead, the first thing you must do is slow down, then take some steering lock off to help the tyres regain grip. If you've slowed enough, then adding lock again to get around the corner should see you back on course - if it doesn't help, then you need to slow even further. However, if the road is slippery, then just backing off the throttle might be the only thing you can do, because stepping hard on the brakes will only make matters worse. It isn't the most sophisticated small SUV going and its interior feels rather cheap in places, but the Suzuki SX-4 S-Cross is still decent enough to drive and spacious enough for most families. It's great value, too, with lots of low-mileage examples going very cheaply, and it comes with plenty of equipment. What's more, Suzuki has a great reputation for reliability, so the SX-4 S-Cross should be dependable. Given that the price gap between the Arona and Ateca is a mere £2000, however, expect the new SUV to have a starting price of around £21,000. That would make the car even cheaper than the Kodiaq, which has a price tag of £22,190. Oversteer affects the rear wheels, and there are two types of oversteer to contend with. The first happens under braking, where the car's weight transfers towards the front of the car, causing the rear end to become light and lose grip. If you are steering, then the momentum can then bring the back end of the car around like a pendulum. In this instance, you need to steer into the skid, so if the car swings out to the left, you need to steer to the left. This powertrain is available for as little as $24,460, and Honda asks $34,690 for the top-spec 1.5T Touring, still a solid value for such a fully realized and useful machine. But yeah, save up a few bucks and get the 2.0T if you can. And we'd get the manual transmission, too.

4/20 Toronto "Wanna Know What I'm Happy About? It's Fo' Twenty!"
Pounds of cannabis and thousands of people sure make a fabulous rally and celebration! 4/20 Toronto had all of that PLUS speeches, comedians,musicians, giveaways and a heck of alotta sunshine!
I woke up in Easter egg hunt mode. 4/20 fell on Easter this year so everything had to be timed juuuust right for me to be able to attend. After finding all the eggs the Easter Bunny hid I had a couple hours to relax before I had to start getting ready to head downtown. I needed to be at Vapor Central by 11:30 to meet up with Dex, a cameraman that SwearNet.com arranged to follow me around for the day. 10:00 came and it was time for me to leave - I was off to celebrate 4/20!
I arrived at Vapor Central around 11:00am and it was already full of people! Flags were being distributed, people were finalizing their outfits for the day and many joints were being smoked. I chatted with everyone while I waited for Dex to arrive. Dex and I were going to be walking around the event interviewing and celebrating with people in the crowd and backstage. He got there about 5 minutes before the march to Yonge/Dundas Square which gave us just enough time to film an intro and everybody getting ready to leave.
Everybody that was in Vapor Central lined up behind the truck that we were to follow to the square. Matt Mernagh had his megaphone and was leading the crowd in chants and also spreading cannabis knowledge while we made our way down Yonge Street. The truck was pumping Classified tracks and lots of people were singing along (including me). Erin & Chris Goodwin along with other Hash Mob members kept the crowd on one side of the street which, after watch them, I realized is quite hard to do. People were taking over the sidewalks, store owners came out to cheer everybody on. It was beautiful! When we arrived at Yonge and Dundas, most people that followed the truck went up on stage and cheered on with the crowd of people that had already formed there. Opus went on stage to his 'lemonade style stand' and proclaimed "The dealer is in"... which lead to people rushing the stage hoping to be able to purchase from him. Matt quickly captivated the crowd and the 4/20 celebration had begun!
After hanging out and interviewing a few people at the side stage, I went over to the booths that were set up along the perimeter of the square. There were edibles for sale, info on how to obtain a prescription, legal advice, make your own bong kits and a bunch of other related stuff. I felt there was more at the booths this year than last year, maybe I'm wrong but I don't think I am. After chatting all the booth's up, I moved in to the crowd to see what everybody was smoking and how they were smoking it (or eating, or vaping.. or dabbing lol) Nobody was shy! Not one hesitation to tell me what and how they were consuming cannabis. On any other day, getting this info out of people wouldn't be this easy but remember IT'S 4/20!! This is not like any other day :) I found many bong smokers in the crowd with pieces ranging from $15 - upwards of $5000. I love hearing people tell me about their glass so I asked lotsa questions about the pieces when I saw them. People recognized SwearNet on my mic and were coming up to talk to me about it.. or to just swear in the mic, it was hilarious!!! That's exactly what I was looking for seeing as my mouth isnt that foul when the camera is on. I try.. I'm getting much better but it's still a little hard to throw F-bombs on cam. My friend Rob texted me to let me know him and Adrian had arrived so I went to meet up with them. Adrian, who owns The Kush Attic, gave me a couple oil rigs to give away on stage to the attendees. How sweet is that!!?! We all roamed around with The Herb Leaf, Cannabis.ca's mascot, for a bit while we medicated and talked about what we were doing after 4:20. I gave The Herb a few supers and headed towards the front of the stage. I saw Chris Goodwin there and told him I had prizes to give away but I couldn't really come up with a good idea as to how. All I could figure out was I wanted to use social media to pick the winners. Chris suggested having Mike Rita bring me up and help me give them away- PERFECT!!!
Paul Lewin (Matt's lawyer, NORML Canada) spoke to the crowd and then Tracy and Opus from Opus Fourtwenty LIVE w/ Tracy Curley headed on stage and spoke about cannabis legalization while the beautiful Hash Mob girls held bristle boards that spelled "VOTE" The crowd was very attentive to them while speaking. I took a short break from filming and went and sat at the side of the stage for a few minutes to smoke a joint. While I was sitting there I heard Jay Danger performing his music on stage. I ran around to the front of the stage to check out his set and take a picture of him performing. When Jay's performance was over it was comedy time!!! Mike RIta was the host of this part of the show. He brought up a handful of comics that at times, had the crowd in stitches which is hard to do considering most people are paying attention to their bongs or joints. Like I said, these guys were hilarious!!!
It was time for me to go on stage and give away some prizes. VapeApeUSA.com gave me a vape pen and Adrian gave me the rigs complete with nails. Mike introduced me to the crowd and told them about the contest and I explained the prizes. The first 2 people to tweet me @TheAmyAnonymous with the hashtag #Happy420 would win the prizes. My phone blew up! I realllllly had to scroll through my notifications to find the first and second tweet. I told Mike the winners names and he verified it was their account when they came up to claim their prize. I had 1 rig left. We decided to ask a trivia question. Maybe it was the meds but for the life of me I couldn't come up with a question, nor could he. We figured out the question "Which year was Toronto's first 4/20 celebration?" He asked the crowd and I told them the 4th correct answer would get the prize. Why did I make it more difficult- nooo idea! I stood on stage desperately trying to get to the first person that answered correctly and work my way to the fourth correct answer. There were so many different answers! 1873, 2014, 0000, 2002 but I finally found the 4th correct one. We announced the winner and congratulated everybody. I thanked Mike and left the stage. I met back up with Rob and a few friends and chatted with the crowd.
4:20 was quickly approaching and I didn't have my blunt in hand. I ran to the side of the stage where my bag was and grabbed my 4:20 blunt. Dex and I headed on stage where a bunch of other activists, advocates and NEWS crews were. The entire crowd counted down the last 10 seconds till the clock hit 4:20. At that very moment. Everybody either lit up, started vaping or started eating. Seconds after all you could see in the air was thick clouds of smoke. From the stage I couldn't see the other side of the street because the smoke was so thick. The people on stage(and many in the crowd) were smoking enormous joints and passing them around. People were hugging, high fiving, smoking and swaying to the music.
After celebrating a bit with my friends on stage I went to finish celebrating with my friends offstage. My Bud Masta Rolla was close by. I figured this was the perfect time to talk to him about the glass pieces he makes and also about the beautiful pendant dabber he had given me earlier in the day. Him and I sat down and he explained some of the pieces he brought, including a sword shaped rig! We finished off our blunts & joints and then headed to see if my buddy Benny was at his new shop Boroheads. We got there and he wasn't there so we went to our next destination Get Melted, a grilled cheese cafe with a vapor lounge upstairs. Rob, Dex and I arrived, ordered our grilled cheeses (with lots and lots of pickles on the side!) and made our way upstairs. Neev, the owner of Get Melted and CALM(the dispensary I work at during the day) was already upstairs warming up the Volcano. He passed the volcano bag around the room while I smoked my first joint sitting down of the day- ohhhh it was nice!! There were about 6 people in the room we were in and we were all talking about the day's event. When the grilled cheeses arrived we scarfed them down. A day full of cannabis smoking can really give you the munchies! We finished our food and then headed in to a different room upstairs to continue recording. Dex set the cam up and I basically did a wrap up of the day while smoking a shatter covered joint that Rob had rolled. Since we started filming at Vapor Central I wanted to end filming at Vapor Central but it was getting late. I knew Mike Rita hosted a comedy show there on Sunday nights and by the time we had finished filming at Get Melted and cabbed to VC, the show had already started. We decided it was time to call it a day. I went upstairs to say bye and happy 4:20 to a few people and then cabbed home.
The cab was so quiet that it gave me time to reflect on the day and all the craziness that was this year's 4/20. It was kick a$$! Fabulous day!!! There were more people this year than last. Not one arrest or incident happened. Our city should be proud, really proud!!! So should the organizers! You did a stellar job this year, much like you've done n the past!
Up next: GLOBAL MARIJUANA MARCH!!!!! Saturday May 3rd. See ya there
Lotsa Love,
I'm Amy and I like stuff ;) <3

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks at Saguenay Chambre of Commerce award gala, Thursday, April 4, 2019 in Saguenay, Quebec. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jacques Boissinot
Trudeau broke law by kicking former ministers out of caucus, Philpott says
Wilson-Raybould quit the cabinet in mid-February and Philpott followed a few weeks later
Apr. 9, 2019 8:25 a.m.
Former cabinet minister Jane Philpott is asking the Speaker of the House of Commons to examine whether Prime Minister Justin Trudeau violated the law when he expelled her and Jody Wilson-Raybould from the Liberal caucus.
Despite new rules laid out in the Parliament of Canada Act, MPs can't be kicked out of caucus without a vote, and yet Trudeau made a unilateral decision last week to eject her and Wilson-Raybould, Philpott declared Tuesday as she asked Speaker Geoff Regan to declare that their privileges were violated.
A set of amendments to the act, spearheaded by Conservative MP Michael Chong, was passed in 2015 in an effort to make it more difficult for MPs to be removed from caucus — part of an effort to decentralize political power on Parliament Hill and put it back in the hands of rank-and-file legislators.
If Trudeau had followed the rules, it would have taken 90 Liberal MPs to vote to kick her and Wilson-Raybould out, said Philpott — and yet no such recorded vote was held before the prime minister expelled the pair on the grounds that they had lost the trust of caucus.
"We were expelled prior to the commencement of the Liberal caucus meeting," Philpott told the Commons from her new perch among Independent MPs.
"The prime minister's words that night to the Liberal caucus are important to underscore, because expulsion should not be his decision to take unilaterally. However, the decision had been already made."
Members of Parliament are not accountable to the leader but rather the leader is accountable to members of Parliament, she said. "This is a constitutional convention."
Wilson-Raybould believes she was moved out of the prestigious justice portfolio to Veterans Affairs in a mid-January cabinet shuffle as punishment for refusing to intervene to stop the criminal prosecution of SNC-Lavalin on bribery charges related to contracts in Libya.
She has testified that she faced relentless pressure last fall from Trudeau, his office, the top public servant and others to override the director of public prosecutions, who had decided not to invite the Montreal engineering giant to negotiate a remediation agreement, a kind of plea bargain.
Wilson-Raybould quit the cabinet in mid-February and Philpott followed a few weeks later, saying she had lost confidence in the government over its handling of the SNC-Lavalin file. But both MPs remained members of the Liberal caucus until last week.
The revelation that Wilson-Raybould had surreptitiously recorded a phone conversation with Michael Wernick, the clerk of the Privy Council, to bolster her contention of undue pressure was the last straw for Liberal MPs, who openly called on Trudeau to expel the former ministers. On April 2, Trudeau called the secret recording "unconscionable," proof that the ex-minister could no longer be trusted.
Regan told Philpott he would consider her argument and report back to the House at a later date.

Well it has been a very busy couple of months with 8 birthdays spanning over 6 weeks, two of which were my husband and son's! That, along with a number of scrapping deadlines (now complete), has left me little free time.
I have been busy creating though (most of which I can't share yet), predominately with party decorations for my son's third birthday.
I will have an upcoming post on the Helmar blog to detail how I created all the decorations for his party as my Helmar definitely got a real work out! The only think I didn't create with regard to the decorations are the balloons. Even the cake (which was a train made from cardstock and patterned paper) got a Helmar workout!
I also made some canvas' for my mum as part of her Mother's Day present.
This is my FAVOURITE part of being part of a blog hop, announcing the winner of my giveaway!
But before I do (got to keep a minute of suspense happening) I just wanted to take the time to say that I visited everyone of the blogs of the ladies that left a comment. I was astounded by the amount of talent out there that I had not seen before. It was amazing! I don't get anywhere as much time as I would like to check out blogs, so thanks to everyone that took part in the fun of this hop leaving comments and enjoying everyone's share. A hop would be nothing without those taking part in the posts OR those that hop their way through.
I know I had a problem with my 'follower's button not being there (not sure where it really went to, as it was on there previously??), but I have re-added it so those that wanted to follow can, and those that may wish to on a future visit can too.

Although shared in the Scrap Kitchen, I have not yet shared this one on my blog. It has been a work in progress for about a year now, as I was never completely happy with it. Now it is finished and sits proudly in our lounge room.
The base was created from a plain white painted lamp base purchased from Target, covered with paper and then coated with Helmar Step 1 and 2 crackle. The top was a separate shade also purchased from Target. I simply removed the material and the creating begun including colouring the wire frame of the shade with alcohol ink, adding the wire, paper, photo and flowers.

Cook pasta shells as directed on package. Drain. Rinse with cold water to cool; drain well.
Meanwhile, in 5 to 6-quart Dutch oven, break up ground beef. Add bell peppers and onions; sprinkle with salt. Cook over medium-high heat until beef is thoroughly cooked, stirring frequently. Drain. Stir in pesto, mozzarella cheese and beans.
Fill each cooked pasta shell with scant 1/4 cup beef mixture. Place 12 filled shells in each of 4 large (9 1/2-cup) rectangular freezer/microwave-safe containers. Spoon 1/2 jar (about 1 1/2 cups) of the pasta sauce over each to cover. Sprinkle each with 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Cover; refrigerate up to 3 days or freeze up to 2 months.
Thaw 1 container of stuffed shells in refrigerator for 24 hours, or uncover and thaw in microwave on Defrost for 15 to 20 minutes.
If one family member likes the beans and the other doesn't, just use 1 can in half of the mixture and leave the other half without.
Freeze the finished dish in a microwave-safe glass or plastic container. Then you'll be able to quickly thaw and heat directly in the microwave. Inexpensive microwave-safe plastic containers are available in most discount and grocery stores. The large rectangles that hold 9 1/2 cups are perfect for this recipe.


The MUC Ballroom was filled with food, dancing, singing and laughter on Sunday night. The International Club hosted their annual Festival of Nations event that brought students, faculty and community members together with the purpose of celebrating culture from all over the world.
In years past, the event has had an average turnout of 200 participants. This year, Brandi German, International Club president, said she had a personal goal to make the event larger than in years past, and she accomplished her goal with around 350 guests in attendance enjoying the various food and culture.
German said the event is "basically a really big buffet," and featured dishes from over 30 countries this year.
"We ask students to cook dishes from their countries, or if they are domestic students they can cook something from their home or another country if they want," she said.
Besides the food, guests were also able to watch traditional dance, listen to traditional songs and poetry readings.
Zoufishan Ahmer, a junior marketing major and Pakistani international student, performed three traditional Pakistani songs. Ahmer said she hoped audience members were able to understand her songs even with the language barrier.
Ahmer is attending USD on a student exchange program, and she's the cultural ambassador for her home country of Pakistan. She said she chose to perform at the Festival of Nations event this year because she wanted to use her talent to represent her country.
Rabab Alkhalas, a sophomore psychology major, volunteered to help decorate for the Festival of Nations event. The ballroom was lined with flags of the countries that were recognized at the event. Alkhalas said she thinks it's important for non-international students to attend events like the Festival of Nations.
German said normally international students help put on the event because there's a larger number of international students in the International Club.
Students do not need to be an international student to become a member of the International Club or attend events put on by the group.
Alkhalas said the Festival of Nations is a great opportunity for non-international students and international students alike to learn about different world cultures, something she thinks is greatly important.

Ex-RATT Bassist ROBBIE CRANE: 'I Don't Think It Was Worth It' For BOBBY BLOTZER To Use Band Name Without Original Members
Ex-RATT bassist Robbie Crane says that "it's heartbreaking" to see his former bandmates fueding over the rights to the band's name.
Starting in late 2015, Bobby Blotzer spent about a year and a half playing shows under the name RATT with a lineup in which he was the sole member from the band's '80s heyday. The drummer's efforts were met with legal challenges by founding singer Stephen Pearcy and other musicians from RATT's classic era — guitarist Warren DeMartini and bassist Juan Croucier — who objected to his use of the RATT name, referring to Blotzer's version as a "cover band."
Crane, who joined RATT in 1997 and played with the band for 15 years in addition to later spending almost a full year in Blotzer's version of RATT, talked about the group's legal battles during a brand new interview with Metal Express Radio. He said (hear audio below): "From the top of it, it's a heartbreaking thing to see all of the people that you care about [fighting with each other]… I spent 16 years in that band, and you want good for all of them — I care for all of those people. But, having said that, there was always a really heavy underlaying of tension and drama in that band."
Crane, who has played with BLACK STAR RIDERS for the last three years, continued: "[The RATT guys] will say, and people will say, 'There's always [an element of drama] in a band.' I would beg to differ. In [BLACK STAR RIDERS], there's no tension or drama.
"The reality is that there have to be some guests — not everyone can be the chef. And some people have to be willing to let themselves just… to trust in the process with others. Some people are self-appointed, and some people aren't."
Crane added: "I care for all of those guys [in RATT]. I'm happy that Bob was able to go and play some music on his own, but I think the price that it cost to have done that, I don't think it was worth it — for Bob. And I think that it's unfortunate. My ultimate hope is that they will all see beyond what's happened and that time will heal all wounds and that they will eventually do something together as the remaining members of the [the classic lineup of RATT]."
The most recent version of Blotzer's RATT consisted of Bobby, Stacey Blades (L.A. GUNS) on guitar, Seann Nicols (a.k.a. Sheldon Tarsha, QUIET RIOT) on vocals, Mitch Perry (TALAS, HEAVEN, STEELER, MSG, LITA FORD) on guitar and Brad Lang (Y&T) on bass.
Nicols joined Blotzer's RATT as the replacement for Joshua Alan, who quit the band in January, explaining that he would be working and focusing on his original music this year.
Blotzer underwent lumbar spine surgery this past March. He previously had a spinal fusion surgery for the C6-C7 vertebrae in his neck more than four years ago.
Pearcy, Croucier and DeMartini played a number of shows this year as RATT, including at Rocklahoma and the M3 Rock Festival. They were joined on stage by former QUIET RIOT guitarist Carlos Cavazo, who played on RATT's last studio album, 2010's "Infestation", and drummer Jimmy DeGrasso, who previously played with Y&T, WHITE LION and MEGADETH, among others.

Q: Nasaworldwind Web: Removing/reassigning a clickRecognizer with different callback Good Afternoon,
There seems to not be a lot of documentation/examples using Nasa's worldwind api especially the web version. So say I have...
 let clickRecognizer = new WorldWind.ClickRecognizer(wwd, clickHandler);

where wwd is the name of my WorldWind Canvas/Window and clickHandler is the function called on click. I just want to know if anyone know how do I remove this ClickRecognizer() once I add it? I have tried assigning a new ClickRecognizer() to clickRecognizer variable and setting it to null then assigning but it made no difference; the first/original clickHandler function is being used.
In short I am trying to switch between ClickRecognizer that uses different clickHandler functions but the change isn't reflected when I click (I verified that the variable (let clickRecognizer) is changed and the gestureCallbacks array (see docs) is correctly populated with the second clickHandler function).
Here are the docs, I tried using removeListener(clickHandler) to no avail.
(This isn't my actual code (ofcourse) I just wrote the question generally)
Thanks

Q: How to override an included JavaScript file with GreaseMonkey? Example:
One page has a script: build/function.js and I want to replace it with build/function2.js.

A: This can't be answered without knowing the contents of function.js .
Basically you may simply inject a new script into the document via appendChild,
But removing of a script will not work.
Although a script-Node may be removed, this wouldn't give the desired result. Once a (the 1st)script has been loaded, it will be parsed (and executed depending on the contents). Variables, functions etc. that already have been declared will remain until you overwrite them(this may be done via the 2nd script)


This striking portrait is the likeness of Isabella Grimaldi, a patrician of the arts. The character of Isabella was born from the world of Saints and Angels, James Christensen's exploration and creation of an alter-ego, an obscure Flemish painter known only as The Master of the Enoch Altarpiece. "The Master was able to make a living only through the support of his patrons, and Isabella was one of the foremost patricians of his entire career," explains James. "It was customary at the time for the wealthy to request their portraits take on the literal characteristics of angels. With Isabella, her wings suggested much more to the Master, as she served as a inspiration in his calling. The love of art and encouragement of promising talent is a dance which allows this circle of creation to persevere."

Cluster Strategy Threshold

            vector, feature, stylemap, wfs, cluster, strategy, cleanup

            Demonstrates the use of the cluster strategy threshold property.

The Cluster strategy lets you display points representing clusters
            of features within some pixel distance.  You can control the behavior
            of the cluster strategy by setting its distance and threshold properties.
            The distance determines the search radius (in pixels) for features to
            cluster.  The threshold determines the minimum number of features to
            be considered a cluster.

Cluster details: hover over a feature to see details.

HASTY, Colo. – The wet Colorado spring at John Martin Reservoir has allowed something that hasn't been seen for quite a while: high water levels.
That means it's a great time to visit the park. There's plenty of room for boating in the reservoir that now spans roughly nine miles long and two miles wide. There's also 200-plus campsites and nearly five miles of hiking trails to explore.
Water levels at John Martin Reservoir are nearly seven times higher than levels last year. As of June 23, the reservoir had 276,000 acre feet of water, while last year at a similar time of year the reservoir held only around 30,000 acre feet.
Boat, picnic and fish at this peaceful oasis known for its wildlife. John Martin Reservoir is also considered a birdwatcher's paradise with almost 400 species documented in Bent County.
Beat the crowds and long lines at boat ramps at other reservoirs across the state and enjoy the open water at John Martin Reservoir. While the dock at the east boat ramp had to be closed, boats can still launch and both the east and west boat ramps remain open.
The reservoir is letting in water at a rate of around 3,900 cubic feet per second and is releasing at a rate of about 820 cfs, so the high water levels will remain for a while.

The Weight of the Scientific World -The How and the Why at Trinity
One trick of great playwriting is crafting a theatre piece that is more than meets the eye. For example, David Auburn's Proof is a play about math that isn't about math at all. And Paula Vogel's How I Learned to Drive is not really about learning how to drive. A similarly great play, Sarah Treem's The How and the Why, now playing at Trinity Rep, is ostensibly about evolutionary biology and its various theories. But there is much more going on below the surface.
Treem's play starts quickly, introducing us to Zelda Kahn, a highly respected and revered evolutionary biologist. As she paces her office, it's clear that she is very nervous about whatever is about to happen. Soon enters Rachel Hardeman, a 28-year-old scientist in the same field who has recently stumbled upon a fantastic and controversial hypothesis. She has a connection to Zelda and as the two of them become acquainted, they take the audience on an emotional roller coaster ride.
Coming from a family of doctors, Treem knows her science and it shows. The play is full of scientific jargon, hypotheses and theories. On the other hand, Treem also has a finely tuned ear for how people talk, interact, respond and react to each other. Her dialogue crackles with energy and is filled with laugh-out-loud humor as well as deeply expressed sadness and fear.
One minor issue in the play itself lies with some of the bombs that are dropped in the second act. Most audience members will see them coming from a long way off – which doesn't necessarily lessen their impact. They do feel, though, a bit unnecessary, as if Treem started with a one-act and then extended the drama for as long as she could.
For better or worse, Treem must rely on the director and actors to bring her words to life, and here she is in very good hands. Director Shana Gozansky has succeeded in making her influence invisible: there's never a moment when you might think, "They're only doing that because the director told them to." Everything happens so organically and naturally, and feels so real, it is a credit to the director and her two talented actresses.
The first of those is resident Trinity company member Anne Scurria as the elder scientist. While Scurria has had many opportunities to shine over the years, this is another tour de force for her. Her Zelda is a wise and weary woman who has made some very difficult decisions in her life and has been learning to live with those choices ever since. The weight of that struggle is apparent on Scurria's shoulders, though she keeps things witty, sarcastic and hopeful.
As the younger scientist, the strikingly beautiful Barrie Kreinik gives an intensely honest performance. The role calls for her to experience every emotion, from love to hate to joy to despair, and she does it perfectly. Kreinik makes her protrayal seem effortless as she truthfully inhabits the life of a young woman struggling with her own decisions.
The choices made by both women provide so much food for thought, audience members will likely be thinking them over long after the play. They'll also be considering the play's many themes, including gender, science, love, family, success, failure, death and survival. While you may not be able to predict how the play will affect you, the reasons why you should see it are numerous.

If you're looking to see some more wildly inappropriate puppet behavior, you've come to the right place. A new red-band trailer has been released for director Brian Henson's The Happytime Murders and the more I see of the film, the more crazy and ridiculous it looks. It's definitely going to be unlike any other muppet-type movie that we've ever seen and you're not going to want to take your kids to see it! The movie is dark, vulgar, and I'm curious to see how well it does at the box office.
I've seen a lot of mixed reactions to the trailers for this film so far. Some people think it looks hilarious, while others don't like the whole vulgar muppet angle. I'm really personally curious to see how it turns out. It could be a lot of fun, but it could also be incredibly stupid. We'll just have to wait and see.
The Happytime Murders hits theaters on August 17, 2018. Are you excited about this movie?

Inside the Hunt for Artifacts Buried Under Philly's Oldest Properties
Who knew there could be so much treasure in ye olde Colonial privy?
By Louis Greenstein·	 2/13/2019, 8:00 a.m.
Get a compelling long read and must-have lifestyle tips in your inbox every Sunday morning — great with coffee!
Philly has very few rules about artifacts discovered on private property. That's where privy digging comes in. Illustration by Kati Lacker.
You never know what you're going to find in the privy. That's what Melissa and Matt Dunphy discovered in 2016 after they bought the former Grasso's Magic Theatre in Old City with plans to transform it into an arts venue. The duo — she's a classical composer, musician and actress; he's a sales engineer — certainly expected an adventure. But they didn't expect the adventure to start with the discovery of a few Revolutionary-era artifacts in the site's subterranean commode.
Perhaps it's not surprising that below ground in historic cities like ours lie deposits of ceramics and glassware, each piece scientifically significant, some remarkably well-preserved. In Colonial times, people often tossed their broken dishes into the latrine. And pre-bubble-wrap, intact items got thrown in as well — who wanted to wheel breakables over cobblestones when relocating?
You might think that if you uncover a cache of ye olde Colonial cookware in your job site's foundation, you're duty-bound to alert the archaeology authorities. Not necessarily — not in Philadelphia, anyway. According to Debbie Miller, a historical archaeologist formerly with the National Park Service, this is only the case if your find involves human remains or your project gets federal or state funding. When it comes to relics on private property, says Miller, our city is the Wild West: "Philly doesn't have any regulations."
Those five words, of course, are music to developers' ears. "A developer doesn't want uncertainty," says Ed Dering of Philadelphia Housing Associates, a residential real estate company. Were the city to empanel, say, a pottery-shard oversight board, "I could lose control if I discover an artifact on the site."
Philly's laissez-faire approach irks Miller. "We need stronger regulations regarding underground resources in the city," she says. "We lose sites on a daily basis."
Philly may be reaching an inflection point on this issue. Back when the city was starved for development and investment, rules weren't really needed. But in our current bona fide redevelopment renaissance, an anything-goes policy may not make sense for a city that trades on its history.

For now, some property owners invite amateurs (essentially, antiquities-inclined dumpster divers) to get to the bottom of their erstwhile outhouses. Many archaeologists regard privy digging as looting; others — like Miller — grudgingly accept that these urban spelunkers may be the last, best hope some relics have of seeing the light of day.
"We don't do the same thing as archaeologists," says Michael Frechette, a Philly artist and landlord who first stumbled on privy digging after he and his son turned up pieces of ceramics in a Kensington lot. "We dig stuff that would never be dug by anybody or that would just end up in a landfill." That's true of the interesting-but-mundane objects privy diggers generally excavate, but not, he adds, of the Dunphys' finds, which are historically significant.
The Dunphys didn't have the heart to bury their treasure. So with Frechette as an adviser, they dug in. They went where humans have, well, gone before. And they turned up a lode of unusual Revolution-era finds and parts of a rare porcelain bowl manufactured in Colonial Philly. Now they're deciding whether to donate their collection to a museum, sell it to a private collector, or display it in their theater, the Hannah Callowhill Stage, set to open in 2020. "Once you start pulling artifacts out," says Melissa, "it becomes a compulsion."

This is an activity which we love and which increasingly we get asked about and are doing. The Zambezi is the most known canoeing river in Zambia and rightly famous for multi day canoe trails (and short ones of course) and indeed the canoe safari is quite a unique Zambian/Zimbabwean activity that has been known and done by safari cognoscenti over many years now. The Kafue is a much lesser known river and to be honest most of the river is not what I would call a dream destination for canoeists. Much of it is long, slow open water and the extremely dense riverine forest vegetation does mean that animal sightings are generally not as good as the Zambezi. However certain sections of the river really lend themselves to a very unique canoeing experience. In certain sections of the river the fragmented channels and rocky areas totally lend themselves to being explored by canoe. Fortunately we are on one such section and indeed arguably the best section!
For us canoeing is a re-connection activity. Similar to walking in that there is no propulsion noise or smells, you are conveying yourself and you are part of the landscape. You are no longer a spectator, you are now participating. That is one side of it, another side is the tranquility. Gliding inches above submerged boulders and skimming alongside grassy bankings with nothing but birdcalls and the tinkling of water and the swishing of your paddle.
There are channels and routes here that can only be navigated by canoe and this also allows you to feel that you are charting territory that few people (and certainly only a handful of tourists) have ever seen. Another hugely attractive thing about canoeing is that the pace and type can be completely varied. If a guest wants to go south through rapids and channels and get that 'lost' feeling in the wilds with a side serving of adrenaline then no problem: we can do that.
On the other hand if they want to just leave the lodge mid-afternoon and lazily drift down from Mweengwa even with a beer in hand as the sun goes down then, again, no problem. We can do that.
Increasingly we are now doing overnight trips where the guests and guides sleep over on an island, either under the stars or in a dome tent, again the choice is yours. Of course (apart from the paddling) the guests don't have to do any heavy lifting, and even then to be honest if you are in the front of the canoe with say Kaley behind you then you are not exactly having to really work! We go with a boat and set up tents, beds, mosquito nets, directors chairs and deliver the evening meal and a box of booze and the guests evening attire! Its amazingly civilised but wild at the same time.

Visual artist finally sees her future
June 13, 2012 February 22, 2021 ewade
Everyone's path in life is different. Some people say they know what they want to do at a ridiculously young age, claiming they came out of the womb practicing their talent. For others, the journey is their life's course. Morgan DiPietro's path is more curved than straight, but she found her bliss as a graphic designer and artist at 29.
DiPietro grew up in West Cumberland, started playing basketball in fifth grade and was hooked. In sixth grade, she decided she wanted to earn a scholarship to play in college. From that point on, it was an "eat, sleep, breathe basketball lifestyle."
For as long as she can remember, she felt most comfortable communicating her ideas through pictures and words.
"I've always been a creative person but most people never saw that side of me," DiPietro said.
In high school, she made motivational posters for teammates, hilarious birthday videos for friends, doodled, created collages and took lots of pictures that were plastered all over her bedroom walls.
"Art was a fun way for me to connect with the people I cared about," DiPietro said.
Six years after setting her goal, her dream was realized when she accepted a scholarship to play basketball at Bentley University, a business school in Massachusetts. The basketball program was, she said, "amazing and the right fit." After taking a course in business in high school, she was interested in marketing – the creative side of business – and earned a degree in business communications and marketing.
During her four years, basketball was a full-time job and her focus. She found her business classes at Bentley "extremely boring." Her favorite classes were digital photography and video sound design.
"For my final sound design project, I made a video about what it was like to be a Bentley basketball player. I used photos and video clips that I took throughout my senior season," DiPietro said. "A year later, I learned that my coaches were using the video as a new recruiting tool."
While learning a lot, she didn't feel "connected to the kinds of careers that my classmates were striving for."
After college, DiPietro joined AmeriCorps VISTA in Providence, R.I.
"It was a way to try something new and work for a good cause," she said, "but really, I didn't know what else to do."
Providence would be the place where she could transition out of an identity defined exclusively by basketball and figure out what was next. She started creating art again, painting, collages, drawing – filling her apartment with artwork.
"With Brown and Rhode Island School of Design in my back yard, I was exposed to a much more creative community in Providence, too, and met a lot of new, eclectic and intriguing people that just weren't around at a school like Bentley," DiPietro said.
She made lists in her journals that ranged from wanting a job that allowed her to creatively problem solve, to simpler things, like being able to wear jeans to work. She didn't know what that job was going to be, but knew what it would look and feel like.
The AmeriCorps VISTA position was located at the Rhode Island School of Design, arguably the best art school in the country, and in DiPietro's mind, this was not a coincidence.
As the end of her two-year service neared, again, she worried about what to do next.
"I was unhappy at the time and finally I just realized the only thing that was resonating with me was my art. I couldn't think of anything else I wanted to do that I was passionate about," she said.
She knew she needed to go back to school.
"I'm an all-or-nothing person who never half-asses anything." DiPietro said.
After applying to Maine College of Art and the Pacific Northwest College of Art, she went with her gut and Portland, Maine, not Oregon, just felt right. And for DiPietro, it was financially responsible to come home to Maine, too.
"The roots of who I am are here in Maine, and coming home enabled me to tap into that, but then branch out from it, too."
Once the choice was made, she focused and pushed herself, similar to how she achieved so much success on the court.
Some notable projects include working with Portland-based designer Angela Adams, as well as wining a competition for her packing design for Geary's Summer Ale in 2011. She also designed the 2010 and 2011 Maine College of Art holiday sale window, as well as the posters.
She graduated from MECA in spring 2011 and is a print and interactive designer at Might + Main, a small branding and design agency in Portland – the same place she interned after graduating from MECA. She was hired full time a year later in February.
"My job at Might & Main is the culmination of all the lists I made in my journal while living in Providence," DiPietro said. "I love the work. I am challenged every day."
Morgan DiPietro
DiPietro's design for Geary's Summer Ale won the annual contest for MECA students in 2011.
Morgan DiPietro created this window design for Maine College of Art's holiday sale in 2011. A favorite project, the display was "great, because it was less traditional graphic design, and I was working with my hands and building things in a 3-D-environment," she said. It featured hundreds of spray-painted balls of yarn.

3 New Books to Pick Up and Read Right Now
Allie Pape
In a culture where new motherhood is either treated as intensely joyful or comically hapless, Elisa Albert's After Birth provides a necessary and fascinating corrective, exploring the loneliness and loss of self that having a child can engender. Protagonist Ari has given birth to her first son the year prior, and finds herself falling into a downward spiral of regret and postpartum depression in her cloistered upstate New York life, until she meets Mina, a pregnant musician, and finds a level of solidarity. Albert offers funny, raw insight into the way adoration and frustration constantly intermingle in the mind of a new mom, with a fearless willingness to speak even the most uncomfortable truths.

George Hodgman left his hometown of Paris, Missouri, for a career as a New York magazine writer—and also left behind his irascible mother, Betty, who never really accepted the fact that her son was gay. But when Betty, now 90, begins to suffer health problems, George has to go home to care for her, and the pair have to find a way to get along. Bettyville, the resulting memoir, is a touching look at a real mother-son relationship, one that's not always perfect but tries to be accommodating and understanding, and an elegy for the kind of American small-town life that both embraces and excludes those in its midst.

In A History of Loneliness, the latest from John Boyne (The Boy in the Striped Pajamas), shy and studious Odran Yates sees entering the Catholic priesthood as a noble calling with high status in his 1970s Irish community. But as the decades pass, Odran begins to realize that there's a dark underbelly to the calling he loves, and has to confront his own possible complicity in the child sex abuse scandals that rock the church, sending several of his friends to jail. It's an intriguing and sensitive exploration of how attitudes towards Catholicism have changed, and how a genuinely good person can find themselves turning a blind eye to evil actions.
