The Most Anticipated Video Games Of 2022 (So Far)
by: Chris BarnewallTwitter January 4, 2022
We've said goodbye to 2021 and while there were plenty of incredible video games, there were so many more we didn't get to play because of the sheer amount of delays. While that was an unfortunate part of 2021, this does give us the added benefit of having that much more to look forward to in 2022. This is set to be one of the biggest years in video games in quite some time with multiple major franchises anticipating a release. There is so much to be excited about and we've managed to break all of it down into five games, plus a bunch of honorable mentions, that we think are the most anticipated games of 2022 so far.
Why so far? Because we have no idea what the rest of this year has in store for us. There are likely games we haven't heard about yet that will also be releasing later in 2022 as well as some games we're expecting, but currently don't have a release date, may suddenly be announced as an upcoming title for 2022. There is so much potential for this already gigantic year to get even bigger. So keep that in mind as we break down the five games that we're anticipating the most in 2022.
Elden Ring (PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC) – February 25
Elden Ring has the potential to be a massive game that brings in people who don't typically play the kind of games that have this style. With Dark Souls director Hidetaka Miyazaki involved we're all expecting a game that feels very similar in tone and gameplay, but the cross-cultural appeal is going to come from the author of George R.R. Martin's involvement. As the creator of A Song of Ice and Fire, or Game of Thrones for everyone who watched the TV show, Martin brings narrative credibility that is going to have people interested well beyond the world of gaming.
Horizon Forbidden West (PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4) – February 18
Horizon Forbidden West is a highly anticipated sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn. This is one of those games that was supposed to come out in 2021, but a delay forced it into 2022. The first game was extremely well regarded for its world, character, and how fun it was to explore. Forbidden West appears to be taking all of those attributes and not only improving on them but turning this into one of the most visually stunning games we've ever seen. While it's not always a good idea to buy into trailers, we can't help but be excited every time we see new game footage. Everything looks gorgeous and we can't wait to explore this world.
Starfield (Xbox Series X/S, PC) – November 11
For everyone that's been wanting a new game from the creators of Fallout and Elder Scrolls, we finally have one with Starfield. This sci-fi adventure may end up being nothing more than another example of the tried and true Bethesda formula, but it's a new world with new ideas and that's exciting from a company like Bethesda. Not only that, but the new engine this game will be running on is supposed to be the engine that future Bethesda games like The Elder Scrolls VI runs on. A new IP, from one of the biggest developers in gaming, and it's a sci-fi adventure? What's not to be excited about?
God of War: Ragnarok (PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4) – TBA 2022
God of War: Ragnarok is another game that was delayed into 2022. It was delayed for all the obvious reasons, but there's reason why they would take extra care with this one. This is supposed to be the final chapter in the Norse story the series has been telling. With that we're expecting some finality in this game and it would be a shame to rush it out just to meet an earlier release date. While we don't currently know when exactly this year it's coming out, we do know that everyone is eagerly anticipating to see how the end of Kratos latest story closes.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sequel (Switch) – TBA 2022
This is a game that everyone has been waiting years for at this point. The sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was first teased to us back in 2019. Ever since we've gotten very little info about it beyond a follow-up trailer at E3 2021 with a release date. While the trailer was cool, and a reminder it exists, it's odd to have a game that is coming out this year and we still don't have an official title besides "Sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild." It makes us worried that this has the potential to be delayed at some point this year, but if that doesn't happen then all of us can rejoice as we get another exciting adventure in Hyrule. This time in the sky.

Silver Alert issued for missing 85-year-old Houston woman.
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- We hope to learn more about the condition of a missing Houston woman after officials discontinued a Silver Alert for her whereabouts overnight.
The Houston Police Department was searching for Fannie Davis, who they say is diagnosed with a cognitive impairment.
She is described a black female, 85 years old, 5'2", 130 pounds, gray/white hair, with brown eyes. Fannie has a scar on the left side of her neck.
The senior citizen was last seen at 9 a.m. in Houston, driving a beige 2003 Ford Expedition with Texas license plate HDN6452.
Law enforcement officials said they believe this senior citizen's disappearance posed a credible threat to her own health and safety.


ASTM | React Environmental Professional Services Group, Inc.
In a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) report, these days you are likely to see an evaluation of vapor encroachment conditions at the site. If you haven't, you will. The upcoming update to ASTM's Phase I Standard proposes to treat vapor encroachment like any other source of contamination, and thus a routine component of environmental due diligence. So, what is it?
Think of vapor encroachment as a cousin of vapor intrusion.
According to the EPA, vapor intrusion occurs when there is a migration of volatile chemicals from contaminated groundwater or soil into an overlying building. Evaluation of vapor intrusion identifies contamination sources on- site. Vapor encroachment, on the other hand, also considers off-site sources. Think of vapor encroachment as a screening tool.
Tier 1 of vapor encroachment screening uses state and federal database records to identify those sites with the potential to affect subsurface vapor conditions. Much like the radius search for a Phase I report, Tier 1 employs a 1/3 mile radius for releases of non-petroleum products, and a 1/10 mile radius for releases of petroleum products. If a VEC cannot be ruled out, i.e. there are open sites within the search distance, then on to Tier 2.
Tier 2 starts out as a non-invasive records review. If you're lucky, the state will have regulatory files for sites identified in Tier 1, and those files will contain the location of the source and contaminant plume. Based on the relation of the plume to the subject property, it is possible to rule out a VEC. If you don't have access to plume info, or, if a VEC cannot be ruled out non-invasively, the next option is sampling – of soil, soil gas, and/or groundwater.
Ultimately, there are four possible outcomes of a vapor encroachment screen: 1) VEC exists; 2) VEC likely exists; 3) VEC cannot be ruled out; or 4) VEC can be ruled out. In the context of a Phase I ESA, the environmental professional determines if a VEC represents a recognized environmental condition (REC) for a specific site.
As vapor intrusion receives more attention from regulators, vapor encroachment screening can be a useful tool to delineate vapor concerns originating on-site and off. The intent is to provide an evaluation of vapor in the soil, thus refining the determination of vapor that may end up indoors. Some agree, some disagree, either way it is here to stay. Have you found vapor encroachment screening to provide insight or headaches? Leave a comment below, and please feel free to contact me at Sszymanski@repsg.com with your vapor encroachment questions.


CHARLESTON, SC (WCSC) - James Island is considering a new ordinance that would prohibit people from sleeping or loitering in public places.
The James Island Town Council was scheduled to have a second reading of the proposed ordinance during Thursday night's council meeting. This was the second time it was scheduled.
The ordinance would cover areas like outside restaurants, parks, parking lots, and public restrooms and schools.
According to the ordinance, anyone suspected of violating the new law would be allowed to explain their reason for being at the location to a police officer before being arrested.
If law enforcement doesn't allow the suspect to explain themselves or if their original explanation is found to be true at trial, no one will be convicted.
Many people on James Island said they feel the proposed ordinance targets homeless people.
"There's a man down the street from my house that sleeps in a tent, and I don't think they should just be able to sleep wherever they want to sleep," James Island resident Sharon Kulik said.
Kulik is hoping town council eventually passes the new law.
She thinks people sleeping in public places, regardless of whether or not they're homeless, is a safety concern.
If you're caught breaking the proposed ordinance, you could face up to 30 days in jail and a fine.
This is the second time a decision on the proposed ordinance has been scheduled for a second reading.

Q: Mapping entity properties to other entities Inside the AdventureWorks database we have Individuals, Contacts and Customers.
These 3 tables are related. My goal is to get the FirstName, LastName and Email up on the Customers when I call them.
Is there a way to resolve this with mappings?
Thanks in advance.
Kyor
EDIT: Structure:

A: I can think of two ways:
1) Using Include()
 var customers = context.Customer.Include("Individual.Contact");

Then you can access the properties by: customers.First().Individual.Contact.FirstName;
2) Projecting to a new Type
  var customers = from c in context.Customer
                  select new NewCustomerType
                  {
                    Customer = c,
                    FirstName = c.Individual.Contact.FirstName,
                    LastName = .Individual.Contact.LastName,
                    .

Alonso: Verstappen 'deserves' to win 2021 F1 title
Fernando Alonso says that Max Verstappen "deserves" to win the world championship, describing him as "driving that Red Bull to another level" during the 2021 Formula 1 season.
Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton head into the Abu Dhabi season finale level on points, but with the Red Bull driver ahead on countback to number of race wins. Alonso was one of many drivers to be asked their about the title fight, offering a strong opinion while some others sat on the fence.
Dec 08 : Winner takes all in Abu Dhabi: Verstappen v Hamilton
Alonso suggested that Verstappen is "one step ahead of all of us" with his performance level during 2021, which is a ringing endorsement of the level he is operating at.
"It's not that I support Max, I think he deserves it," said Alonso when asked why he's backing Verstappen.
"He was driving that Red Bull to another level."
Alonso had earlier argued that while Verstappen deserves the drivers' title, also citing the fact he lost "52 points" – a figure he claimed to have "read" – this year to contact and other incidents, Mercedes merits the constructors' championship given he feels it has produced the superior car.
A veteran of four last-race championship deciders in 2006, 2007, 2010 and 2012 – one of which he won – Alonso argued that Hamilton and Verstappen have pushed each other to new levels of competitiveness.
How Verstappen/Hamilton handled a forced F1 title weigh-in
"Each of us are different, so I don't know exactly how they approach these final moments, but they seem OK and they seem on top of their game," said Alonso.
"Both of them are driving amazingly, no mistakes and pushing the limits every race. You see that they are first and second in every race because they are in another level so that's fantastic to see, how they push each other.
"This final race is going to be tense for them. It will depend on the package a little bit. Mercedes, lately, is performing [better] and they won a couple of races now. But Max is driving, in my opinion, one step ahead of all of us.
"We saw the lap in Jeddah until he touched the wall in the last corner. That lap was coming from Max, not from the Red Bull. But that's my opinion.
"Mercedes they deserve the constructors' championship because the car is superior. And Max, maybe overall in the year was driving one step ahead of everyone."
Alonso, a former McLaren team-mate of Hamilton's in 2007, stressed that he doesn't mind who wins the title because "I'm not in the fight" and will concentrate on Alpine's bid to seal fifth in the constructors' championship ahead of AlphaTauri. It currently has a 29-point lead, meaning it would take a freak result for that margin to be overturned.
In the meantime, the Spaniard has enjoyed watching the title fight from after, even though his Alpine has rarely been in a position to do battle with either Verstappen or Hamilton.
Verstappen: Title fight changed my view of Hamilton/Mercedes
"What is happening at the front, as a motorsport fan you are following," said Alonso.
"You are aware of the of the stress that they may get into this weekend and it's nice to watch from the outside.
"But whoever wins, it doesn't change too much your approach or your weekend. When someone asks I can have an opinion, but everyone has a different one. I'm not supporting anyone."
Pierre Gasly, sat alongside Alonso in the same press conference, also backed Red Bull stablemate Verstappen.
Gasly also alluded to the possibility that their battle might end in a collision.
"I think Max will have the edge in the end," said the Frenchman.
"I'm not sure they're going to finish the race. But I think Red Bull and Max will get it."

SETTLEMENT: IRS Agrees to Pay Tea Party Groups $3.5 Million
In 2010, the IRS under the Obama administration began doing something unprecedented in the tax collector's history: Using partisan politics as a weapon against those who would oppose President Obama.
As exposed by investigative journalists, government watchdog groups, and the government's own independent oversight agency, the IRS began systematically pulling Tea Party groups for extra scrutiny whenever they applied for tax-exempt status. The targeting took the form of additional questions, delayed decisions, and other manufactured obstacles that other non-profits never had to face. Finally, this year, a judge decided in favor of the targeted groups – numbering more than 100 – and ordered the IRS to issue each of them an apology.
This week, the IRS had to give up more than their pride. A judge signed off on a settlement between the IRS and their victims which will see the government pay more than $3.5 million to put the case behind them forever. The irony, if there is any, is that most of the targeted groups would see this enormous expenditure of taxpayer money a blight on Washington under ordinary circumstances. Unfortunately, without such a penalty – which will see each group get somewhere in the neighborhood of $17,000 – there is little guarantee that such political targeting will not occur again in the future.
"It shows that when a government agency desires to target citizens based on their viewpoints, a price will be paid," said Edward Greim, a lawyer for the plaintiffs.
The settlement will put to bed a case that has been raging for nearly eight years at this point, though a few loose ends are yet to be wrapped up. One such dangling thread is the matter of Lois Lerner's testimony. Lerner was a central figure in the case – an IRS supervisor who is accused of both knowing about the illegal targeting and encouraging it. Government officials, however, say she is an unheralded hero who did everything she could to stop the practice. The truth remains shrouded in mystery, however, because Lerner's own courtroom defense has been sealed from public view. Lerner and her attorneys argue that it must stay that way because she still receives death threats on a regular basis.
The judge in the case will decide this week whether or not that justification hold water or if there is an overruling public need for Lerner's testimony to be released.
It is to this despicable IRS saga that we point when his supporters claim he ran a "scandal-free" administration. It was, of course, only "scandal free" insofar as a sympathetic media refused to cover the scandals with any particular appetite for truth. Contrast that with their coverage of the Trump administration, which latches on to every stray word a White House official says in an effort to bring this president down. Not only is the IRS targeting scandal a dark moment in the history of the U.S. federal government, it shines as a troubling example of just how obscenely different the media's coverage of this administration is from the way they coddled the last one.

From Brummana's supporters to Population concern
Brummana's supporters
The dramatic plight of Lebanon continues to be headline news and so it should be. In a country disintegrating, just where Brummana High School (BHS) would be without its Quaker supporters conjures a terrible image: one of students, staff and families at breaking point and a country and region without its educational beacon for 150 years.
Predicted by the World Bank (in June) to be in the top three worst financial crises since 1850, the country is perilously close to disaster. The crumbling economy, political and social upheaval, the explosion, pandemic and geopolitical challenges have put individuals, families and communities on the brink. Without international support the country once revered for banking, medicine, entertainment, nature and education may be little more than a forgotten speck.
BHS now suffers at the hands of the devaluation of the local currency and rampant inflation. Community members are struggling on with over ninety per cent of the value of their incomes scrapped. Still teachers give 100 per cent to their charges. Still parents desperately try to ensure their children's education does not waver. Yet how much harder it could possibly get is frankly difficult to imagine.
Since 1873 the school has found great support through the international Quaker community. Founded by a member of the Religious Society of Friends, the school received support from the UK and US to develop and prosper. It is that same base of Friends who continue to support now. The Quaker International Educational Trust and the Friends of Brummana group are among them. Without their support, along with old scholars worldwide, the community would be on its knees.
In a country with such a sparse state education system, the non-profit BHS has filled the gap for many over generations. Thanks to the Quaker supporters of the present, the school continues to teach individuality, service, tolerance, respect, peaceful resolution and environmental stewardship.
A quality education provides three elements: the relief of poverty; the conferring of human dignity; and the basis of democracy. All three elements are needed in Lebanon right now and all three are in a Brummana education.
The support the school is receiving comes in many different formats yet the most pressing is financial: to provide a living wage to teachers (staff hardship), and to ensure no student is left behind by the crisis (bursaries). If you wish to support one of the last Quaker institutions in the region at its most desperate time of need, please do consider joining for BHS Gives, the school's giving day campaign.
This year BHS Gives is scheduled for 2/3 December and supporters will be able to donate online at www.justgiving.com/q-u-i-e-t.
Please contact me directly if you wish to receive updates for the event at principal@bhs.edu.lb. In giving you will help guarantee the education and lives of hundreds, and hope and optimism for thousands.
Thank you to all BHS supporters past, present and future.
Principal, Brummana High School
All talk?
I found the interview with Anne-Marie Trevelyan (5 November) troubling as she clearly has not had the damascene moment she claims and is a cynical appointment to forestall change.
Her superficial approach was exemplified by everything moving 'at pace' (which she said ten times) and the journey that is 'a marathon not a sprint'. But I don't want to focus on the fairly contentless interview but rather on her record, as she talks about moral leadership.
She talks about being shocked by the floods of 2012 and changing her mind from being a denier. She had tweeted in the summer of 2012 '[there is] clear evidence that the ice caps aren't melting after all' and 'global warming isn't actually happening'. Prior to being appointed our UK champion for adaptation and resilience for COP26 she voted to support fracking and has consistently voted against measures to prevent climate change.
For the first nine months of this year she was the minister for Business, Energy and Clean Growth! Is this the best person we have for the job? With people like this at the helm we are in real trouble.
In January 2016, the Labour Party unsuccessfully proposed an amendment in parliament that would have required private landlords to make their homes 'fit for human habitation'. Trevelyan was one of seventy-two Conservative MPs who voted against the amendment who personally derived an income from renting out property. This is one of the reasons we will not see any real help for youngsters struggling to buy property.
She was the secretary of state for International Trade and, prior to her appointment, Trevelyan expressed apparent scepticism about the value of foreign aid on a number of occasions. We know what Boris has said about foreigners so she is just the right person for the job.

Being healthy isn't about giving up everything you love to indulge in, it's about making healthier choices, and sometimes healthier alternatives of the things that you love.
Easter is a time where there can be a lot of guilt around what you eat, well my sparkling reader, don't I have a treat for you, a healthy one!

It serves as a great base for your special centerpieces and wall hangings, able to be transformed to reflect an array of occasions. Attach silk florals and dried botanicals. Take it in any holiday direction you wish--from lightweight pumpkins, sunflowers, and maple leaves for fall, to artificial birds and butterflies for spring. Though, without additions, this wreath looks just as well showcasing its barn-inspired presence.
Display this wreath anywhere you see fit! Hang on walls by attaching some string or ribbon, or simply slide the head of a few nails through its twigs. Tables and centerpieces will surely welcome this wreath's alluring touch.

Nearly 20 years have whizzed by since Jonathan Harvey, then a 24-year-old comprehensive school teacher, wrote a play in the school holidays – and caused a stir. That play was Beautiful Thing, dealing with the then (and now?) contentious issue of two 16-year-old schoolboys, next-flat neighbours in the high-rise south-east London council estate of Thamesmead, who fall in love – and overcome prejudices and obstacles, not least their own self-realisation.
It was a daring work. "I wrote it out of anger and outrage," Harvey says in the programme notes. "The age of consent for gay men was 21, whereas it was 16 for heterosexuals." Having grown up in the creatively febrile atmosphere of Liverpool at the time when Alan Bleasdale and Willy Russell were making waves, and having frequented that cradle for new writers, the Liverpool Playhouse, he had determination. The agent Alan Radcliffe, nowadays better known as the father of Harry Potter star Daniel, liked his work – and the play took off at the Bush Theatre in 1993. It was very much of its time, but has now become a period piece. So for this revival director Sarah Frankcom inevitably stays faithful to the original.
The story centres on Jamie, bullied at school for not being like the other boys and not liking football, who lives with his single mum Sandra. He secretly fancies classmate Ste, who lives next door with his abusive father and drug-dealing brother. His secret is diffidently converted into action when Ste comes to sleep over and they have to share a bed.
Does it still resonate today? Well, yes and no. Yes, because the writing endures. This is still a touching, compassionate and very funny play. The situation may be forced, but it's credible. Neighbours can share dysfunctionality, while harbouring goodness. But times and attitudes have changed in two decades, so the element of shock and surprise has evaporated.
Frankcom has a lively cast with quick-fire repartee, led in fine style by Claire-Louise Cordwell as Jamie's coarse and blousy barmaid of a mum, Sandra (pictured right with Matthew Tennyson), who ultimately finds understanding and generosity. Matthew Tennyson, who graduated from LAMDA this summer, makes a sensitive, emergent Jamie and is nicely partnered by Tommy Vine as Ste, reluctant to admit his persuasion. Their bedroom scenes are gentle and well judged. Tara Hodge makes the most of girl-next-door Leah, the foul-mouthed school drop-out whose worship of Mamma Cass yields a drug-induced impersonation of the lady herself. Alex Price is a laid-back foil to the feisty Sandra as Tony, the latest in her string of boyfriends.
Having to cope with a theatre-in-the-round production creates real problems. Despite designer Liz Ascroft's efforts, even putting wisps of grass between the flagstones, it proves impossible to convey the feeling of crowded high-rise flats, where neighbours are separated by paper-thin walls. Imaginatively, she has created a huge suspended globe, on which railinged flats suggest the locale as well as symbolising that this is their world. What's missing is the sense of stifling claustrophobia - in fact, the place seems rather pleasant and sunlit.
The show ends literally in harmony: the boys openly dance to be joined, astonishingly, by Sandra and Leah doing likewise – and, finally, as glitter balls descend from above, the vast Manchester Lesbian and Gay Chorus takes over, singing in four-part harmony Mama Cass's "Dream a Little Dream of Me". It's a neat, heart-warming finale to a tender tale of young love and adult understanding in which anger and outrage are no more.

Lake Waikaremoana
Ko Te Waikaukau o na Mātua Tupuna
Ko Panekire Te Mauna
Ko Haumapuhia Te Tipua
Ko Waikaretaheke Te Awa
Ko Te Umuariki Te Tanata
Ko Tūhoe Te Iwi
Remote, rugged, immense, the forests of Te Urewera contains the largest forested wilderness remaining in the North Island – 213,000 hectares. It is famous for its lakes and forested beauty and as the homeland of Ngai Tūhoe, who have lived around its shores for centuries.
In the southern part of Te Urewera lie two of the areas treasures, Lakes Waikaremoana and the smaller Lake Waikareiti. Tūhoe say Lake Waikaremoana was formed centuries ago by Haumapuhia, a young woman who was transformed into a taniwha (supernatural being) by her father for disobeying him. In her struggles she gauged out the shape of what became the lake.
Scientists have a different version, saying the lake was formed 2,200 years ago by a huge landslide, which blocked a narrow gorge along the Waikaretaheke River. Water backed up behind this landslide to form a lake up to 256 metres deep, the North Island's deepest. In places the drowned forest can be seen deep beneath the clear waters.
The lake is almost 600 m above sea level, with a cooler, wetter and more changeable climate than lower altitudes – snow often falls in the winter months.
A popular tourist destination, there is holiday park on th
e lakeshore and public huts and campsites around its 46 km Lake Walk.
Apart from walking the lake track or the many other short walks in the area, Waikaremoana is also popular with hunters and fishers. Brown and rainbow trout are in the lake in good numbers; and there is also good deer hunting.
Many of the 650 species of native plants of Te Urewera can be found in the Waikaremoana region. Nearby Manuoha mountain is the highest point in Te Urewera at 1392 metres above sea level. It is just above the tree-line with just stunted alpine vegetation and views on a clear day across the central North Island to the peak of Mount Tongariro, south of Lake Taupo.

Do this only if you have maschoistic tendencies or like being frustrated. The autotuner works just fine. As wotname said - it like the difference between automatic transmission and a standard without synchromesh.
I had a nice little chart, it had all the numbers on it for each band. I dialed in the numbers on my MTU then tweaked the big dial while transmitting, till the gauge thingy peaked, to fine tune it for the exact frequency.
All of this is Fun! After all isn't HF supposed to be about pushing buttons and tweaking dials, none of this wussy friendly user interface crap. He (or she) with the most buttons wins!
Remember the air of mysticism around using it will make you look like a genius to any casual crew.
Probably worth having a MTU in the radio cave doing nothing just for the sheer nerdy bling factor!
I am so going to find you a photo of the original radio setup on our boat.
Carrying a spare MTU as backup for the ATU is a reasonable idea. I used to carry a spare MTU for the MTU but never ever needed it. In hindsight it was a bit overboard . Possibly proof I was nerdish .
Hard to disagree with any of this post.
Yes, there is a romance about using HF in my eyes. Knob twiddling, watching analogue meter needles dancing around, extracting a faint familiar sound out of the ether full of static, pops and whistles.
Nursing it into a recognizably human voice, adjusting it for clarity and before you know it, you are working with a professional radio operator from half way around the world passing on your postion and local conditions while he/she passes on the weather, messages and telegrams etc. For those few monents, you are in touch with another human voce admist the vast grey seas of your local world on board a small sailboat. You could feel that the other human voice was actually interested in your world for that short contact and then they were off working with others while you shut down to conserve yiur precious batteries. You would try again in 24 hours time.
Shared a few anchorages with a bloke who had an MFJ tuner on which the cross needle meter had ceased to function..... fixed him up with one of my Diamond SWR meters and a spare co-ax jumper.
Lucky you. Ever since reading the anchor threads I just lie awake wondering if I am still anchored.
But will look at the solar panels in a new way now, thank you.
Darn it, the only photo I have does not show the two MTUs and associated SWR meters which were up and to the right hand side of the breaker panel just visible in this photo.
Still, bit of a man-cave I thought... though not a scratch on some of the boats I have seen since.
But it does show the Wagner, my first maritime HF. You never forget your first love!
Sadly I was not skilled enough to extract STATIC from the static.
Gawd you fellas are ignorant. My wife shimmies up the mast and hangs our washing from that!
What else could it be for?

TSH Annual Program Barnali Dazzles with Scintillating Performances
Saved under Arts & Culture
By Sanchali Basu
HOUSTON: The Tagore Society of Houston (TSH) held its annual cultural program Barnali with great fervor and gaiety at the Houston Durgabari Sur auditorium on July 21. The evening was power packed with one good program after the other. It started off with a modern day Tagore symphony by the TSH Youth Orchestra, based on a creative east-west fusion medley of Tagore songs and western music composed by John Liner. The middle school and high school community kids were flawless in their execution of a few Rabindrasangeet influenced by Scottish highland music/classical scores of western music. The youngsters in the orchestra played with immense passion and love for the music. It was very well rehearsed and was carried out almost singlehandedly by them without the guidance of a grown-up.
This was followed by an opening Rabindra Sangeet, "Anandalokey Mangalalokey" sung by a group led by Kamalpriya Roy. Mahua Dasgupta's troupe consisting of Deepayan Bhattacharya, Srijita Chakrabarty, Sharmishtha Kolay and herself, then led the audience on a journey down memory lane to give a flavor of the golden era of Bengali music of the sixties and seventies. All the singers were very impressive and managed to captivate the audience with their melodious voices.
Cute little young girls in the age group of 5-8 in their bright yellow saris danced the first dance of the evening to Poush Toder. The dance choreographed by Soma Dasgupta got the audience going and there was not a single person in the audience who could not help but fall in love with these adorable kids.
The highlight of the evening, a bedazzling multimedia presentation Moner Manush (Seeking the Inner Man of Tagore) ensued. It was wonderfully conceptualized and scripted by the President of TSH, Ruma Acharya. It highlighted the influence of different genres of music on Tagore's songs including Hindustani classical, Carnatic, folk (Baul), Kirtan, Vaishnavite Padavali and even Western music which resulted in enriching his music and endowing a unique quality to it. The Bauls (the traveling minstrels) who try to realize God in themselves, created a deep impact on the poet's life as was reflected in his songs like "Aamar praner manush aachhe prane" which says that the Almighty or the soul of souls is all pervading and dwells in every human heart. Tagore was impressed and deeply moved by the simplistic and lyrical music of Gagan Harkara, a postman and devotee of Lalan Fakir.
Moner Manush opened with a scene from rural Birbhum where Gagan Harkara meets a Baul and is informed of the arrival of Tagore and the two then embark on a journey through the various styles of Rabindra Sangeet compositions, some sung by Gagan himself and some by other artists. The audio visual presentation included excellent narration, visuals and dance performances choreographed and presented by the local Houston talented artists and their students. The audio visual was put together by Sailaja Bandyopadhyay and the dances were choreographed by Piyal Sengupta, Soma Dasgupta, Supradipta Datta and Arpita Mukhopadhyay. Narration was done by Sanchali Basu, Saurabh Sengupta and Shayak Sen. Gagan Harkara was very capably enacted by Shamik Bose and Baul by Subrata Dasgupta. Santanu Mukhopadhyay was responsible for stage lighting and Chandana Guha and Partha Sen helped back stage.
During the intermission the names of the annual essay contest winners were announced. A service recognition award ceremony honored Chandana Guha, Partha Sen, Sujit/Mila Sengupta for their contribution towards TSH. A mini fund raising was carried out to bring the Tagore Grove project to culmination in September, when the fifth statue of Tagore will be installed outside of India in Houston's Ray Miller Park located at the intersection of Eldridge and Briar Forest (Energy Corridor).
Finally it was the turn of the much awaited invited artist from Kolkata Raghab Chatterjee to take the stage and end the show and oh what a way to end the show! As expected, he just drifted skillfully from one genre of music to the other with effortless ease. This stems from his years of training in classical music. The crowd got to hear the favorites including "Chand keno", "Alla ke bande", a fusion of a bandish in raga Bhairavi and also the ICC World Cup theme song, "Jiyo khiladi".
The TSH musical night was well conducted by emcee Srabani Roy Akilla. The food and sari/jewelry stalls did brisk business through the course of the evening.


Following the initiative of the Regional Institute for International Cooperation, the MBA, implemented jointly with the University of Wolverhampton (Great Britain) and the Norwegian-Russian Master's Programme, titled "Innovation Management" implemented in partnership with the University College in Bodo, were launched at the Institute for Continuing Education of Tyumen State University. The programmes were supported by the "Bridge" Project of the British Council.
Since 2010, an International school in ecology, supervised by Professor Edgar Wagner of Freiburg University, has been running on the basis of RIIC of Tyumen State University (working languages are English and German), whose participants acquire practical experience of professional academic communication and receive recommendations for enrolling in European universities, which significantly increases their professional competitiveness.

Over a decade ago I first saw a small ad in a newspaper for an agency in South Yarra for walkers. I had just completed my TAFE library technician diploma and was reluctant to go to Centrelink for the dole due to the requirements.
This particular agency called Right On Target Advertising (ROTA) suited me because unlike the firms that deliver local newspapers, they did not require a car. I soon learnt how to sort the leaflets in bundles and walk the streets of the allocated area systematically.
After my redundancy at the end of 2010, I thought that if I didn't have a new job the next year, I would make contact with ROTA and resume pounding the pavements. I was surprised to find the manager the same as a decade ago, and even more impressed that he remembered me!
It took a few months for my leg muscles and stamina to return to their former form where I could walk two-three hours without a break and not get tired. Although now I am on Centrelink money, this money earned is welcome extra and I feel like I have actually earned it.
On average I complete one-two jobs a fortnight, travelling up to an hour by public transport, pulling a shopping jeep loaded with the leaflets, to get to the delivery areas as ROTA does not deliver in my immediate area. The number of times people have asked me 'can't you do the local catalogues?' and I tell them, 'no, because on those ads, a car is listed as a requirement'.
This leafletting gives me a purpose to get out of the house so I do not sit around all day moaning about not having a job.

A guide to the best beaches in Montenegro
Holidays to Montenegro bring narrow streets of yesteryear and rolling hills that sweep into grand mountain ranges within a hair's breadth of one another. But don't forget you're also able to sunbathe on the Adriatic shore, with the Budva Riviera alone having 320 kilometres of shore split into 100 beaches. So make sure you visit some of our favourite beaches in Montenegro – they're among the best that Balkan holidays have to offer.
Big Beach, Ulcinj
As the name suggests, this is a pretty sizeable stretch of incredibly fine sand. Pale and creamy and with the consistency of flour, the sand of Big Beach is said to soothe away aches and pains, so you're definitely going to want to lie on its surface.
Big Beach stretches for 13 kilometres, with woodland and cute houses surrounding you along the upper reaches of the shore. Restaurants, shops and other facilities are always close at hand, but there's also plenty of serenity and seclusion to enjoy as well.
Jaz Beach, Budva
Once again, Montenegro wears its heart on its sleeve with its naming conventions. Jaz Beach lives up to the moniker for its history of open air concerts, with big name rockstars like the Rolling Stones having played here over the years.
It's not all loud and rowdy here, but it's definitely adventurous. In fact, Jaz Beach is quite the watersports hub. It's close to Budva so charming small town sensations are always close at hand, and on some days it's often the most peaceful spot of sand in the area.
Milocer Beach, Budva
Close to a magnificent castle and sure to be showing off this season's most sensational swimsuits, Milocer Beach is where you go to see and be seen. It's well worth doing so, because the smooth sand, exquisite water and surrounding forests make Milocer Beach one of the finest places to squirrel yourself away for rejuvenating sunshine in all of Montenegro. You're also just a stone's throw from the fantastical Sveti Stefan community, reaching out into the sea on its own idyllic peninsula.
Queen's Beach, Budva
If you've not had your share of exclusive beaches, try this strip of shore so secluded, you can only get there by boat. That's exactly what you'll find at Queen's Beach, which is cupped away from mainland distractions by mountainous cliffs as rugged as they are majestic.
Queen's Beach, named for a monarch of years gone by, mixes gold sand plus a few pebbles and gently lapping waves with a cosy closeness with Budva. Spend all day on the coast before heading out for a restaurant meal in one of the most scenic towns in Europe.
Becici Beach, Becici
Regarded as one of the most fantastic beaches in the world, Becici Beach is a tourism hotbed that's bound to be bustling, although not at the expense of your chance to unwind on its enticing sand. It's ideally located, with ample access to shops and places to get something to eat, while still giving you enough of your own space to lay down the towel and let the sun do its thing. Rest assured your comfort and relaxation is everyone's top priority while you're here.
Red Beach, Sutomore
Also known as Crvena Plaza, this part of Montenegro has a character all of its own. Although it shares the same relaxing environment and laid-back lifestyle as any other stretch of shoreline on our list, this beach is unique as between the pebbles is sand that shows off a deep russet colour.
Nestled snug between cliffs and plateaus but close enough to the town of Bar for you to not feel isolated, Red Beach is proving quite a popular alternative sunbathing spot for those holidaymakers looking for a more individual slice of Montenegro.


I love the chance to get to review original items from Irish companies and this week myself and Mini-Mini got to test drive some things that ticked all those boxes. The company in question is Fluffy Fields. First off-how cute is the name?Even just saying it in my head makes me smile. They use only the finest material to create wonderful blankets, pillows and toys for you r little ones that are both stylish and practical. I received a bamboo blanket, angel wing pillow and a longeared bunny. On their website there are a myriad beautiful patterns to choose from and I can confirm they look just as goo d in the flesh as they do on-screen.
First impressions count and this company made a great one with their choice of packaging. Every item was individually placed in a canvas bag, each with its own unique little ornament.
I opted for the bamboo blanket and angel wing pillow in the Owl Radio pattern. Mini-Mini loves rabbits, Mini loves pigs and Mum loves owls!
The bamboo blanket is made of high quality hypoallergenic material, that is gentle on sensitive skin. It's designed to breathe more in the summer time, leaving you cool yet retains heat in colder weather. It feels lovely against the skin and is very comfortable. Mini-Mini was more than happy to take a break from trying to master crawling and chill out on her rug, with the blanket wrapped over her.
The Angel Wing pillow is a really nifty little item. Again, it's made out of the same great hypoallergenic, breathable bamboo as the blanket. It's designed to provide support for little ones' necks and heads. It's great for high chairs and buggies. It can be easily folded and popped into its little carrier bag which makes it the perfect travel companion. We'll be traveling to France in a little less than four weeks (I'm not on a countdown from work or anything!!) and each item will be making the journey with us.
As I may have mentioned before, Mini-Mini loves rabbits. A toy bunny was the first present she ever received and people have continued to give her stuffed and fluffy bunnies of various shapes and sizes as gifts. I knew she'd fall in love with the bunny. She was instantly entranced by his eye-catching green colour and beautiful complementing patterned ears. There are raised bumps on his body to provide tactile stimulation, which was quickly put to the test as our poor little baby is currently teething.
These items make wonderful gifts complete with their own sublime packaging that again is stylish and practical. There are also lovely fleece blankets, sensory fun pads, dribblers and stroller liners available with the same fantastic designs-check out the Green Apple one! The website is easy to navigate and delivery is prompt. Overall, wonderful products from a wonderful Irish company and one I can't recommend highly enough.
Disclaimer: We were sent these products free of charge for the purpose of this review, however, my opinions remain my own honest ones.

Justice League, The Movie, The Dream Casting
June 8, 2013 January 20, 2016 goldstar
One reason why I'm pumped for the premiere of the new Superman movie Man of Steel on June 14th, aside from the fact that I'm a major Superman fan, is that if Man of Steel does well at the box office, then it will kick open the door for the long awaited and long speculated Justice League movie, which has been talked about as early as 2000 and it's production has been pushed back until (???).
Many fans have different ideas about what the JL film should be like, who should be in it, what the plot will be, who the movie's big-bad will be etc., and here at Twinsanity, it's no exception. Since it's going to be a little while before the JL movie comes out, I thought that I would share some of my choices for the casting of the JL movie. But first, a disclaimer:
The following is nothing more than my own choices and speculations. None of this is canon, nor is it a given that any of my choices will end up in the film. As far as I know, there isn't even a written script for the movie as of this writing.
Now that that's out of the way, on to the dream casting. To get the ball rolling, as it were, Let's start with the lineup. As far as the team roster goes, I'm guessing that the JL movie will deal with the League first being formed, so then there will be about 6 or 7 main characters initially. There can't and shouldn't be a Justice League Army in the 1st movie. The Avengers' producers had a hard enough time trying to juggle screen time between 6 central characters (8 if one counts Loki and Nick Fury). Keep in mind that there's only 90 minutes to 2 hours and you still need to have a story, an establishment of the main characters, a reason why they're brought together and some sort of of conflict/crisis for them to resolve. To have to deal with all of those actors and egos and try to keep everyone's parts equal would be a writing and directing nightmare, so the main group should be kept relatively small. I think that it's a given that The Trinity will be featured in the film. No one wants to see a JL movie without Superman, Batman or Wonder Woman. No one. If people who've been waiting for over a decade to see a big budget movie about the Justice League and when it finally happened, what we got was this:
Fans would justifiably be ticked. If I have to wait 13 years for a Justice League movie, it had better not end up being about a bunch of "jobbers". So yeah, you need Supes, Bats and Wondy. So that's 3 slots taken right there.
It's also likely that the movie will feature The Flash and a Green Lantern, who'll most likely be Hal Jordan (but probably not one who's played by Ryan Reynolds, who said that he's not interested in reprising the role). The only reason to cast John Stewart over Hal Jordan would be for racial balance, but there other solutions to that, which I'll address in a little bit. So anyway, that's 2 more slots taken. Who else should be cast as part of the team?
Aquaman: I'm actually kind of iffy on this character's inclusion, but the reason isn't because I think that Aquaman is lame. Aquaman is NOT lame. The character was only shown as being impotent due to his being massively toned down on Hanna-Barbera's Super Friends TV show, and that was over 30 years ago. It's time to let that joke die once and for all. Aquaman is King of the Sea, and the Earth is 71% water, which would mean that Aquaman is King of 71% of the planet. Arthur is also half wizard, so it would be easy to give his abilities a little boost, such as giving the character some kick-ass hydrokinetic powers. No, the reason why I'd be reluctant to use Aquaman is because he has an entire undersea kingdom to rule over, so it would present a challenge to the movie's writers to try have the main plot revolve around the ocean in order to accommodate him.
Black Canary: No. I have nothing against Dinah Drake, but in the wake of The Avengers, using her probably wouldn't be a good idea, since people unfamiliar with the DC comics would likely just consider her to be a ripoff of Black Widow. If BC appears at all, it should be in one of the sequels.
Green Arrow: Again, no. I mean no offense to any fans of Ollie Queen, but here it is: I've never been down with the idea of Green Arrow and Batman being on the same team. The Justice League doesn't need 2 rich guys with high tech toys in place of super powers. And again, fans unfamiliar with the comics would just see GA as a Hawkeye ripoff, so it's probably best if GA sits this one out.
Hawkman and Hawkgirl/Hawkwoman: No. I have nothing against these characters, but since the movie isn't going to be a continuation of the WBA cartoon, we're not going to see Shayera romancing John Stewart, and I don't want to see Hawkwoman in the movie without her husband Hawkman, so it's best to just avoid using both characters, as this would just be excess baggage.
We still need an ethnic, as we don't want the JL roster to be nothing but Caucasians. As I said earlier the GL featured will most likely be Hal Jordan, so no John Stewart, but there are other choices for non-white Justice League members:
Use Cyborg. In the most recent reboot of the DC universe, Victor Stone is one of the founding members of the League, so why not go with him?
Use Martian Manhunter. Yeah, I know that J'onn J'onzz is a Martian, and that in the DC universe, Martians are green, but they're also shapeshifters, so then J'onn could just spend much of the movie in his morphed human alias John Jones. I envision Martian Manhunter as being a CGI creation while in his Martian form while being played by an actor while in human form. Make J'onn's human form that of a black man and that'll solve this problem.
Years ago, someone on the internet suggested that singer/actress Jennifer Hudson could play Wonder Woman. Now, I'd be perfectly OK with an African American Diana Prince. I know that some hardcore comic fans would have a nerd rage over such a decision, but I've read that an African American actor is being considered for the role of the Human Torch in the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot, so why not have a black Wonder Woman? Let's briefly review Wondy's origin, shall we: Diana is an Amazon from the far off island of Themescara. She was sculpted out of clay by her mother Hippolyta, the queen of the Amazons, and was magically brought to life by the Greek goddess Hera. Nowhere in that bio does it specify that Wondy has to be white, so if someone wants to cast a black actress as Wonder Woman, it's perfectly OK with me.
No sidekicks: Sorry, fans, but if the JL movie is going to be about the formation of the League, teen sidekicks would just be in the way. No sidekicks should show up until at least the 2nd or 3rd movie in the franchise.
Here's my ideal scheduling of the DC films leading up to Justice League:
Man of Steel sequel
Superman/Batman Team-Up
Only thing is this would likely push the release of Justice League back to 2016 or 2017, but if the preceding movies were good, it would be worth the wait.
Finally, there's the question of who the movie's villain should be. Initially, I was going to suggest Darksied, but he's kind of a big deal. You may not want to launch the JL film with the League going up against Darkseid. It might be better to lead up to him over 2 or 3 films. Instead, the 1st JL movie could have the League squaring off against someone like Starro the Conqueror of Dr. Destiny. Perhaps the villain should be Lex Luthor or the Joker, or perhaps the 2 of them forming a temporary alliance. Or possibly a team-up of Lex and Brainiac or something similar. Or perhaps an invasion of the White Martians. I know that I've mostly been suggesting Superman villains here, but that's mainly because aside from the Joker or Ra's Al Ghoul, most of the Batman villains are freaks and weirdos with a gimmick who'd get their butts handed to them by the Justice League. The movie would go much better if evil at least stood a chance.
OK, that's enough geek rambling from me.

One thought on "Justice League, The Movie, The Dream Casting"
hobbyfan says:
In the comics, way back in the day—and I do mean, way, way, way back—-they had a Black Amazon–Nubia. Even merited an action figure from Mego in the mid-70's. I'd use her in a sequel, but not in the first film.
Casting ideas:
Superman: Henry Cavill
Batman: I wouldn't use Ben Affleck. If they go with Affleck, then you're likely to get a package deal, with Matt Damon as either GL or GA and Jennifer Garner (Mrs. Affleck) as Wonder Woman. Then again, we all remember how Daredevil & Elektra fared at the box office, don't we?
My pick? Mark Wahlberg. I'm not kidding.
Martian Manhunter: When J'onn was used on Smallville, they did use an African-American actor, IIRC, and he was voiced by one (Carl Lumbly) on JL. I'd say Jamie Foxx, but Sony signed him up for that Spider-Man sequel. Not sure who to go with.
Green Lantern: If John Stewart, I'd pick LL Cool J. If Hal Jordan, sub out Ryan Reynolds in exchange for Mark-Paul Gosselaar. Yeah, the Saved By the Bell jokes would follow, but MPG has gotten past that the last 20 years……..
Flash: Not sure on this one, either.
For girl power to go with WW, I'd plug in Zatanna. I'll leave it to you to figure out how to cast that role.


Your Challenge: Create your own yummy ice cream from your refrigerator.
1. Fill the large, gallon-size bag half full of ice, and add the salt. Seal the bag.
2. Pour milk, vanilla, and sugar into the small, pint-size bag, and seal.
3. Place the small bag inside of the large bag, and seal it again carefully.
4. Shake the bag until the mixture is ice cream, which takes about 5 minutes. Make sure to wear gloves or hold a towel to the bag to prevent damage to your skin!
5. Wipe off the top of the small bag and open it carefully.
6. Grab a spoon, Enjoy!
Try this recipe for one ingredient, all natural ice cream!
Begin by peeling some ripe bananas. Chop into pieces and put them in the freezer for at least an hour. Place the frozen pieces into the food processor. Blend or mash the bananas, until it becomes creamy and smooth ice cream!
For ice to melt, it takes in heat from its surroundings. Adding salt to the ice reduces its freezing point, so a lot of heat is taken from the little bag. Therefore, the milk and sugar become frozen, creating yummy ice cream!
Bananas contain tryptophan, an amino acid that can be converted to serotonin, which can put you in a good mood!
It takes about 12 lbs of milk to make one gallon of ice cream!
One gallon of milk weighs 8.6 lbs.
The United States enjoy 48 pints of ice cream per person, per year, more than any other country in the world!
The biggest ice cream sundae in history was made in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and weighed over 24 tons!
July is National Ice Cream month, created by Ronald Reagan in 1984.
The history of ice cream dates back to the second century B.C! Most believe it was invented in China.
The largest ice cream cake weighed 12,096 lbs.

A review of I Right the Wrongs by Dylan Schaffer
This is abundant material for an author to keep moving and free of tangles. Schaffer manages to keep the mixture interesting and allows enough interplay to keep all parts of his groupings functional. Seegerman's father, for example, was a former detective deeply involved in the murder case of 1988. Through the wall of dementia that surrounds him he is able to give Seegerman tantalizingly incomplete clues about this past event.

I Right the Wrongs
by Dylan Schaffer
Bloomsbury Publishing 2005, ISBN 1-58234-506-6, $23.95, 355 pages
This is the author's third book. He draws on his own experience as a lawyer and on a rich tradition of books whose purposes are to puzzle and to entertain. Although there is an English form of this, the American form is noted for uncomplicated diction, a use of amusingly unexpected similes and a dry humor. Schaffer is very comfortable with all this. He knows the moves and executes them with grace.
The hero is the professedly unheroic Gordon Seegerman of the Santa Rita Public Defenders office. He is a champion under-achiever whose main passions are reunion with his ex-girlfriend Silvie and his part in a Barry Manilow tribute band. There is a lot about Barry Manilow and how good he is, what a skillful musician, what a great artist. The band has a gig in Las Vegas at the same time that Barry Manilow will be performing there and this will be the culmination of the bands' collective obsession. Across this perfect and glorious plan emerges the case of Marcus Manning, a black football star from one of the local high schools. He has allegedly abducted the mascot of Saint Illuminatus, a prestigious, mostly white, high school in Santa Rita. Complications develop and it appears that they might prevent fulfillment of the Las Vegas appearance.
The complication is a murder. The solution of the crime involves investigation of another murder committed and never solved some years before. The interplay between past and present is smoothly managed and Schaffer parades before the reader a colorful assortment of characters – a black politician who is campaigning for mayor, the enigmatic Marcus Manning, a corrupt cop and one that appears honest but may in fact be even more corrupt. These are part of the external cast as it were. There are two other groups of men and women – one consists of Seegerman's family and includes a father deep in the wilds of Alzheimer's disease. The other group consists of the band members – a super-geek, one of the investigators from Seegerman's office and the singer, massively pregnant and unrelievedly furious and profane about it. It is because of her pregnancy that the band searches for a temporary replacement singer. After many auditions, Seegerman convinces Sylvie to be the replacement despite the complex emotional relationship between them.
Everything rings true and Seegerman's honesty as narrator is refreshingly unpretentious. The scope of the author's vision is similarly remarkable and is such as to be found in only the best examples for books of crime and detection. Every reader who wants entertainment of a high order will enjoy this novel.

Aguilar Announces Over $500,000 to Combat Opioid Addiction in Inland Empire
Today, Rep. Pete Aguilar announced that Inland Empire health agencies have received a total of $517,554 through the Access Increases in Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (AIMS) grant program. The San Bernardino County Department of Public Health and Inland Behavioral Health Services each received an AIMS grant of $175,500, and the SAC Health System (SACHS) received an award of $166,554. The funding was made available through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), a division of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and will be used to fund treatment and prevention resources to combat opioid addiction. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), opioids were responsible for more than half a million overdose deaths in America between 2000 and 2015.
"The opioid crisis in our country has impacted millions of families, including many here in the Inland Empire," said Aguilar. He continued, "I was relieved to see this funding come to our region, and I'm hopeful that it will result in prevention and treatment efforts that will help families overcome the devastation of addiction."
Dr. Christine Bierdrager-Salley of Inland Behavioral Health Services (IBHS) commented, "IBHS is pleased to be an awardee of the AIMS grant. This will enable IBHS to expand and enhance its existing behavioral health integration program and IT infrastructure, with a particular emphasis on the screening, prevention, awareness, and support with treatment options for opioid abuse in both our patient population and the local communities of San Bernardino and Banning."
Health Officer for the County of San Bernardino, Dr. Maxwell Ohikhuare, said, "San Bernardino County Department of Public Health is pleased to be a recipient of the AIMS grant by HRSA. This grant will supplement funding under the Health Center Program to expand mental health services and substance abuse services focusing on the integration of treatment, prevention, and awareness of opioid abuse into primary care at DPH's federally qualified Health Center located in the High Desert and Valley Regions."
Nancy Young, President and CEO of the SAC Health System, expressed the dire need for this funding in the Inland Empire. "The opioid epidemic that is devastating our community – and our entire nation is heartbreaking. We are so pleased to have been awarded this special, specific funding to provide the highest quality care to assist those struggling with this addiction," she said.
Rep. Aguilar has been an advocate for legislation to combat the opioid crisis, and in 2016, he supported a package of bipartisan bills to help expand research into the epidemic. Earlier this year, Rep. Aguilar vocally opposed the American Health Care Act (AHCA), the Republican effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. The bill would have severely limited access to addiction treatment services for many Americans by making drastic cuts to Medicaid and dropping the requirement that private health insurance plans cover addiction treatment, which is currently required by the Affordable Care Act.

Netflix Doesn't Need Star Wars to Turn to The Dark Side
Photo by Daniel Cheung on Unsplash
A key Netflix competitor, Disney+, recently launched onto the global scene.
-Although here in the UK, we're still waiting…
The buzz surrouding the new Star Wars show, The Mandalorian, is at a peak- so, for this blog, we felt that a Star Wars cliché or two was in order.
We've seen a myriad of articles about Netflix coming under pressure because of the launch of new streaming services. Equally, it's true that any benefit Netflix has had from licensing Star Wars and other Disney content is coming to an end thanks to Disney+.
But does Netflix need access to 'A Galaxy Far, Far Away'?
Or is the 'Upside Down' and an After Life good enough for them?
SoDA reveals the information the industry needs
Digital-i's new SVOD measurement service, SoDA, is being used to uncover some fascinating trends about Netflix consumption and viewer behaviour.
In this blog, we reveal how the viewing choices of UK Netflix subscribers are a little bit on the dark side.
Looking at Netflix UK's top shows from the most recent 12-month reporting period, the top five definitely belong on the shadowy side of the content-colour scale.
Elsewhere in the top ten we have the dark psychological thriller You (#6), Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes (#9) and The Haunting of Hill House (#10).
Remember when Nordic-noir was a hot content trend on linear TV?
Well, Netflix has tapped into the dark mood of the nation and delivered some compelling high-quality content that is attracting millions of viewers and keeping its brand relevant and appealing.
Finding a balance in your SVOD catalogue
Nevertheless, the force of programme performance relies on a balance of darkness and light. When it comes to this, Netflix truly are the SVOD Jedi masters.
While looking at the top programme's reach is a way to see what flag-ship content is being most promoted and consumed by a high percentage of Netflix households. The highest stream numbers show us the content that generates the most engagement with the platform.
For example, we know what draws people into the platform.
But, what makes people spend so much time on Netflix?
What content do they plug hours of their free time into watching?
Netflix has acquired some of the most popular sitcoms and provided multiple seasons and episodes making them binge-ready and binge-worthy.
Friends, The Big Bang Theory and Brooklyn 99 are among the titles that generate the most viewing volume for the SVOD platform in the UK.
This is partly due to the sheer number of episodes and seasons, but also because of the light and easy viewing they provide.
The analysis of high reach programmes vs programmes with a high volume of streams, shows how viewers balance their darker TV choices (the ones that draw them into the platform and generate buzz) with light-hearted bingeable comedies.
The charts below show the differences between the viewing spikes generated by shows like Stranger Things versus the consistent viewing of familiar comedies.
Streams generated by Netflix originals compared to the two biggest sitcoms
Reach spikes generated by Netflix originals compared to the two biggest sitcoms
Digital-i has the capability to carry out sophisticated viewer analysis and through using advanced viewer segmentation we've looked at the viewers* of Stranger Things, Black Mirror, The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann, and Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes, to see what other content they've been watching.
*Viewers are those matching more than half of the most recent season for each title.
Viewers and Morbid Curiosity
Subscribers that have chosen to view these shows have a demonstrable taste for darker content. For example, the top titles among Stranger Things viewers includes After Life, Black Mirror and The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
What's the cross-over between those who like these flagship darker shows and those who consume lighter content?
Well, among Stranger Things viewers, 46% also watch Friends (compared to a reach of 39% among all households) and 41% watch Brooklyn Nine-Nine (as opposed to only 35% of all HHs).
We see the same pattern across the True Crime category. Half of those who watched The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann also chose to watch Friends and 41% of those selecting Conversations with a Killer; The Ted Bundy Tapes also watched Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
Following in Netflix's Path
Netflix have not only changed the way we view content, they have also set trends for genre, tone and production quality.
Digital-i has provided a measurement service that can assess the performance of this content and help understand the viewing behaviour that can influence SVOD success.
Please get in touch if you would like us to tackle a particular topic for our next piece of analysis or if you would like to learn more about Digital-i's SVOD measurement service SoDA, please enter your details (quoting SODAINFO) here.
Finally, we are going international with the service and will be adding viewing data from the following territories in 2020: USA, Spain, Germany, France, Italy and Australia.
SoDA is exclusive information, the currency of commercial advantage, especially in the transforming world of the media.

Placement Success Stories
Eline van den Bosch leaves for sunny California!
Not many are able to visit the west coast of America, however that does not apply to Eline van den Bosch. The field hockey player has signed a contract with UC Davis University, just outside of Sacramento, California. At this university, which hosts around 35.000 students, Eline will start with a study in Biological Science, after she graduates from secondary education next month.
Whilst the location where Eline will study is fabulous already, the campus is on another level. With 2.958 hectares it is the largest campus of the ten universities which belong tot the public university system in California. The academic levels of UC Davis are also incredibly high. A few of their programs were chosen as the best in the country, for example their veterinary and agriculture programs. In 2017 Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education College ranked UC Davis as the sixth best university in America. Not bad for a country that has more than 4500 educational institutions.
Besides her study Biological Science Eline will join the field hockey team. After the 'Aggies' failed to impress in the conference last season, Eline's arrival is much welcome. The high standards of the America East Conference, Division I, where a little too high last year for the young side of head coach Birtt Broady, who intensively searched for talent to add to her squad during off-season. After a short period she meets Eline van den Bosch, currently playing for HHC Quick Stick, Heerenveen.
After starting as a seven-year-old at her local side in Sneek, Eline has been playing for HHC Quick Stick since she was thirteen. Once settled at her new club the midfield player gets selected for the district team of the northern part of the Netherlands. Here she plays for a good three and a half years. Her club also clearly values the talented player, who immediately joins the first team after impressing in the U17's.
In short, Eline is a very talented player, who undoubtedly will be a great addition to the 'Aggies'. KingsTalent would like to wish Eline a lot of fun and good luck at UC Davis!

St. Jorge Cheese Menu
Markets + Events Menu
Our Farmstead and Cheese Factory, located in Santa Rosa, California was established in 1979 by Joe and Mary Matos after immigrating from the small, lush, volcanic island of Sao Jorge, Azores during the 1960's. Still owned and operated by Joe and Mary, the Joe Matos Cheese Factory legacy continues with the 7th generation of the Matos family who bring you a taste of our Portuguese traditions, heritage and pride through handmade artisan raw milk St. Jorge cheese and Heritage Raised Beef.
Joe and Mary both grew up on the island of Sao Jorge, Azores and had been acquainted their whole lives. Joe worked along side his father, as part of the fifth generation of the Matos family to milk 40 cows and make St. Jorge cheese at their home in Urzelina, Sao Jorge. He was the first generation to recieve a formal education and attributes this fact to his father. "We had to have shoes and clothes to go to school. My father worked very hard for us. Other people's fathers could not buy shoes." One of seven children, his dedication and drive are what led to his father encouraging Joe to immigrate to America where there was opportunity to successfully continue the family business.
After Joe's first visit to America, Mary saw the chance for adventure and a new life not possible on the island and asked if she could join him. They were married in Sao Jorge and Joe's father taught Mary how to make the Matos family cheese before their immigration. Growing up, Mary was in the middle of 11 children. She was responsible for her younger siblings and making bread for her family, as evidenced by a burn scar on her left shin from an accident with a brick oven when she was 10 years old.
When their plane finally landed in San Francisco in 1965 Joe recounts that he had $20 in his pocket and when they left the city he had $3. They immediately found employment and housing on a dairy in Petaluma and Joe began milking cows that afternoon and found additional employment at the brickyard and a moving company. Mary worked at Petaluma Poultry Processors and raised their two daughters while they saved enough money to buy the ranch on Llano Road in 1975.
When purchased, the ranch was an old chicken farm comprised of 50 barren acres, a small farmhouse, settlers dwelling and one barn. With only help from other immigrant family members, the Joe Matos Cheese Factory was built from the ground up. All structures related to the Cheese Factory, including the cattle barns, milking barn and aging and make room were built to the specifications of Joe and Mary Matos. In 1979 the Milk Product Plant license was issued to the Joe Matos Cheese Factory to produce and sell Matos St. Jorge raw milk cheese.
