It was an unsatisfying season team-wise, as Boston followed its 1986 pennant by going 78-84. However, there were some terrific individual performances. Roger Clemens solidified his second consecutive Cy Young award by earning win No. 20 on the final day of the season. Wade Boggs won his third consecutive batting title, and fourth in five years. The hitting machine also set a career high in homers with 24.
The Red Sox made a managerial change after the All-Star break, as coach Joe Morgan took over for John McNamara. The Red Sox ripped off victories in Morgan's first 12 games, and 19 out of his first 20. They also won 24 in a row at home. The period became known as "Morgan Magic", and culminated with the Red Sox winning their second division title in three years. The joy ended there, as Boston was swept by the A's in four straight in the ALCS. On an individual note, Wade Boggs won his fifth batting title and Mike Greenwell finished second to Jose Canseco in AL MVP voting.
In one of the most memorable plays in Red Sox history, Tom Brunansky made a diving catch in the right field corner to save the final game of the regular season and clinch the AL East for the Sox. It was Boston's third division title in five years. However, the Sox were again swept by the A's in the ALCS, extending their postseason losing streak to 10 games.
Roger Clemens won his third and final Cy Young in a Red Sox uniform by going 18-10 with a 2.62 ERA. He also registered 241 strikeouts. Despite a second-place finish, manager Joe Morgan was fired the day after the season. He was replaced by former Sox third baseman Butch Hobson.
Kevin Kennedy took over the managerial reins from Butch Hobson, and Boston proved to be one of the surprise stories in baseball. The Sox won the AL East with a record of 86-58. Mo Vaughn emerged into a superstar, earning AL MVP honors. Tim Wakefield was plucked off the scrap heap by GM Dan Duquette and shocked the baseball world by beginning the season 14-1. However, the Red Sox were again swept out of the playoffs, this time by the Indians in three games in the newly formatted Division Series. It brought Boston's postseason losing streak to 13 games.
In his final season with the Red Sox, Roger Clemens tied his own Major League record by registering 20 strikeouts against the Tiger on Sept. 18. The Red Sox made a late wild-card bid, but fell short. Mo Vaughn had the best statistical season of his career, smashing 44 homers and driving in 143 runs. Manager Kevin Kennedy was fired shortly after the season, and replaced by Jimy Williams.
The Red Sox were treated to the arrival of a rookie named Nomar Garciaparra, who immediately turned into a superstar. The dynamic shortstop won Rookie of the Year honors by hitting .306 with 122 runs, 209 hits, 44 doubles, 11 triples, 30 homers, 98 RBIs and 22 stolen bases. But the season was a disappointment, as Boston went 78-84 in Jimy Williams' first season as manager.
After acquiring star right-hander Pedro Martinez in the winter, the Red Sox produced their first 90-win season since 1996. The 92-70 finish was good enough to vault them into the playoffs as the AL Wild Card. There was no sophomore jinx for Nomar Garciaparra, as he finished second in AL MVP balloting. The Red Sox snapped their postseason losing streak of 13 games by clubbing the Indians in Game 1. Mo Vaughn blasted two homers, pacing an 11-3 victoy. The Red Sox were eliminated by losing the next three games. Vaughn, a free agent after the season, signed a six-year contract with the Anaheim Angels.
Without Mo Vaughn, the Red Sox were not without hope. In fact, the Red Sox improved upon their win total from the season before, finishing 94-68. Jimy Williams was named AL Manager of the Year. Nomar Garciaparra won his first batting title. Pedro Martinez was the best pitcher in baseball, going 23-4 with a 2.07 ERA and 313 strikeouts. The Sox again won the AL Wild Card. They also won their first postseason series since 1986, rallying back from a 2-0 deficit to beat the Indians in five games. Martinez was heroic in the Game 5 clincher, tossing six no-hit innings out of the bullpen despite an injury to his right shoulder. Boston lost the ALCS to the Yankees in five games.
Nomar Garciaparra earned his second consecutive batting title. Pedro Martinez earned his third Cy Young award in four years. But it wasn't enough to get the Red Sox to the playoffs for a third consecutive season. Boston finished 85-77, 2 1/2 games behind the Yankees in the AL East.
The Red Sox signed superstar slugger Manny Ramirez off the free agent market. Ramirez's impact was felt immediately. He clubbed a three-run homer in the first pitch he saw in a home uniform at Fenway Park. On April 4, Hideo Nomo pitched Boston's first no-hitter since 1965. The start against the Orioles at Camden Yards was Nomo's first in a Boston uniform. But injuries to Nomar Garciaparra, Pedro Martinez and Jason Varitek decimated any chance Boston had of qualifying for postseason. Manager Jimy Williams was fired on Aug. 16 and replaced by pitching coach Joe Kerrigan. The Red Sox went 17-26 the rest of the way.
The Red Sox began a new era, as the ownership group led by John Henry, Tom Werner and Larry Lucchino officially took over on Feb. 27. The next day, GM Dan Duquette was fired and replaced on an interim basis by Mike Port. On March 5, Joe Kerrigan was fired as manager. He was replaced on March 11 by Grady Little, who had formerly been a coach in Boston under Jimy Williams. The Red Sox went 93-69 under Little, but missed the playoffs for the third straight year. Pedro Martinez and Derek Lowe gave the Sox their first 20-win tandem since 1949. The highlight of the season was Lowe's no-hitter at Fenway on April 27 against the Devil Rays. Manny Ramirez, despite missing six weeks with a fractured left index finger, won his first batting title.

THE ROAD TO WEMBLEY
Whether you want top flight football or the biggest names in music, one venue stands head and shoulders above the rest - Wembley Stadium.
The famous Wembley Arch has been an iconic presence on the London landscape since 2007, when the new and improved Wembley replaced the original stadium.
As the largest stadium in the UK, with a capacity of 90,000, it only attracts the biggest and best events.

Snapshot Sunday – Kneel in Amazement
Kneel in Amazement
I travel the world collecting experiences and sometimes I come across such beautiful vistas I'm compelled to kneel in amazement. Breathtaking views that knock you off your feet and captivates your visual senses. Some take miles of hiking to capture but the achievement out weigh's the struggle. In this case, the hike was short and the view was amazing.

Fourth Delegated Legislation Committee
[Dr Rupa Huq in the Chair]
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department
(Kevin Foster)
That the Committee has considered the draft Licensing Act 2003 (Platinum Jubilee Licensing Hours) Order 2022.
It is a pleasure, as always, to serve under your chairmanship, Dr Huq.
The platinum jubilee is a momentous milestone and I am sure that many people—perhaps including members of the Committee—will want to raise a glass in recognition of Her Majesty's enormous contribution to our country. Under section 172 of the Licensing Act 2003, the Secretary of State can make an order relaxing licensing hours to mark occasions of "exceptional national significance". I think we would all agree that the platinum jubilee is without doubt such an occasion.
The Home Office conducted a public consultation to seek the views of the public, and the majority of responses were in favour of the licensing extension, agreeing with the duration and location put to the Committee. The draft order, therefore, is to extend licensing hours in England and Wales on Thursday 2 June, Friday 3 June and Saturday 4 June, until 1 am the following morning.
The extension will apply to premises licences and club premises certificates in England and Wales, which license the sale of alcohol for consumption on the premises. Those premises will be allowed to remain open without having to notify the licensing authority and police via a temporary event notice. The draft order will permit premises licensed to provide regulated entertainment to open until 1 am on the nights that it covers, even where those premises are not licensed to sell alcohol.
Following from the consultation, however, the Government agreed with the majority of respondents that the draft order should not extend to premises that sell alcohol for consumption off the premises, such as off-licences and supermarkets. Premises that provide "late night refreshment", which is the supply of hot food or hot drinks to the public between the hours of 11 pm and 5 am, but that do not sell alcohol for consumption on the premises, will not be covered. Such premises will be able to provide late night refreshment until 1 am only if their existing licence already permits that.
I hope that the whole Committee will stand together in support of the extension of licensing hours to celebrate Her Majesty the Queen's platinum jubilee and ensure that it is the event that it deserves to be. I commend the draft order to the Committee.
Holly Lynch
(Halifax) (Lab)
It is a real pleasure to serve under you as Chair, Dr Huq.
Members will be pleased to hear that I do not intend to detain the Committee for long. Unusual as this is, I am in full agreement with the Minister on this occasion. The draft order is an amendment to the Licensing Act that will allow licensed premises to continue to sell alcohol, offer entertainment and serve late night refreshment for longer than usual on the extended bank holiday. We are happy to support it, not least in Halifax, where plans for celebrations are well under way right across the borough.
I have had the pleasure of being involved in the celebrations planned for our magnificent Piece Hall, which involve, as part of the jubilee festivities, a special day to give thanks to our emergency services as defenders of the Queen's peace. I encourage others to consider doing the same in their respective patches. As we all know, however, the main focus of the jubilee weekend is the opportunity to bring communities together to celebrate Her Majesty the Queen becoming the first British monarch to celebrate a platinum jubilee: 70 years of service. She has served this country with humility and understated determination for 70 years.
The proposals will recognise the exceptional national significance of such a milestone and will allow for festivities to continue into the evening a little longer than usual. We must note, of course, that extended licensing hours may lead to more instances of antisocial and disorderly behaviour, and other misdemeanours associated with the consumption of alcohol. I urge the Minister and his colleagues to be alive to that, and to respond positively to any anxieties and requests that the police and local authorities may have in ensuring that all revellers engage in festivities responsibly. In conclusion, however, I am happy to support the Government's proposals, and wish all Members a wonderful platinum jubilee weekend.
Jake Berry
(Rossendale and Darwen) (Con)
It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Dr Huq. On behalf of my constituents, I wish to make just a few points to the Minister about this legislation.
I am sure that all members of the Committee will agree that Her Majesty the Queen has an extraordinary history of service to our nation; that is deeply felt by my constituents in Rossendale and Darwen, which is one of the most patriotic constituencies in the whole land. When the Minister responds, I hope that he will talk about other things—rather than just going to the pub—that his Department is doing to support the jubilee, not least given the Queen's desire to see the Commonwealth green canopy planted.
I am sure the Minister is aware that the Woodland Trust is currently taking orders for the planting season starting in November, so primary schools, or any other organisation, in our constituencies can be part of celebrating this extraordinary achievement by Her Majesty the Queen. I look forward to working with primary schools across Rossendale and Darwen, in villages such as Tockholes, Edgworth, Helmshore, Weir, Whitewell and others, and planting a tree for the jubilee. For our young people, the pubs staying open a little bit longer is not quite as important as it is to their parents.
Will the Minister comment on the Queen's extraordinary history of service to the Church of England? This jubilee celebrates Her Majesty the Queen becoming not only our Head of State, but the head of our national Church. In Blackburn cathedral, in the constituency adjoining mine, we will have a special service in celebration of that extraordinary achievement. Will the Minister comment, not just about the services in Blackburn cathedral and other churches in my constituency, but about other people marking the jubilee in that way? That is very different from going to the pub. People may well want to do both—go to the church and then to the pub—although perhaps not at one o'clock in the morning. Will the Minister say what provision will be made for those people?
Finally, having visited the Piece Hall in the constituency of the hon. Member for Halifax, I know what an extraordinary building it is, but I will take her Piece Hall and raise her Darwen Tower, which was erected for Queen Victoria's jubilee and has recently benefited from the Government's levelling-up fund. Several hundreds of thousands of pounds have been spent to ensure that it can be repointed, restored and rebuilt to continue to stand in glory, not just for the jubilee of Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II, but for many years to come. The people of Rossendale and Darwen—particularly the people of Darwen—will be celebrating that as part of the jubilee.
I fully support what the Government are doing today. I look forward to raising a glass in the Anchor pub in Darwen and the Robin Hood Inn in Helmshore, and I may even go to the Hop on Bank Street in Rawtenstall. I will not be doing a pub crawl, as this will be over several days; the draft order is for 2, 3 and 4 June, so we will have the opportunity to support pubs in our constituencies, which have had such a terrible time during the covid pandemic.
I wish everyone a happy jubilee. I take pleasure in putting on record the thanks of my constituents in Rossendale and Darwen for an extraordinary history of service by Her Majesty the Queen, which all colleagues hope will continue for many years to come.
From across the other side of the Pennines, over the Snake Pass, I call Andrew Jones.
(Harrogate and Knaresborough) (Con)
I commend the Minister on this initiative. We have had the most exceptional monarch in Her Majesty, and I believe that Brits, including in Harrogate and Knaresborough, will want to celebrate and mark her incredible service to our country. Raising a pint to Her Majesty in a pub is a fitting way to celebrate her remarkable life and toast her exceptional qualities. The extension of the licensing hours proposed today will be very popular. I support the draft order.
Does anyone else wish to catch my eye, or are there any killjoys who do not want an extra two hours a day over three days? No one at all. In that case, I call the Minister to conclude the debate.
Kevin Foster
I thank the tourist boards in Halifax, Rossendale and Darwen, and Harrogate and Knaresborough, for their contribution to this debate. While we are on that subject, of course the best place to be over the jubilee weekend will be Torbay, where the Torbay air show will take place along with a free music festival. What could be better than seeing the red, white and blue literally being sprayed across a beautiful piece of south Devon's coastline, and then—to keep my speech in order—being able to enjoy a beverage, for a couple of hours longer, in a pub in Paignton, Torquay or Brixham?
The comments that we have heard show the wide support for the draft order. On the more serious point raised by the shadow Minister, the hon. Member for Halifax, the police are conscious of the potential for a small minority to enjoy themselves slightly too much and not responsibly, and their need to work with local authorities to tackle such behaviour.
We expect that the vast majority of licensed premises will use the extra flexibility responsibly. It is not compulsory to stay open until 1am; it will be for each individual premises to decide if they wish to take advantage of the extra hours. Previous occasions of this nature have mostly seen good-hearted and good-natured celebrations, and we look forward to this measure being part of a great national celebration.
Committee rose.

Apple cuts iPhone 13 output forecast on chip shortage: report
San Francisco (AFP) –
Apple is unlikely to meet production goals for its new iPhone before the holidays because of a global electronic chip shortage, a report said Tuesday.
The firm had planned to produce 90 million iPhone 13s before the end of the year, but will have to settle with 80 million as suppliers Broadcom and Texas Instruments cannot meet demand, the Bloomberg News said, citing sources familiar with the matter who asked to remain anonymous.
Apple presented a new line of iPhones last month, with four new models, including the iPhone 13 Mini, which sells from $700, and the iPhone 13 Pro Max, which costs $1,100.
"We estimate that overall demand has been robust globally," Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said, highlighting strong demand in China and the United States especially.
"Apple will be running into a 5 million-plus iPhone 13 unit shortage for the holiday season if consumer demand keeps up at this pace," he added.
Chief executive Tim Cook warned during quarterly earnings reports in late July that supply chain constraints would have an even bigger impact on the current quarter than it had in the previous three months.
He pointed out that electronic chip shortages were affecting all parts of the industry, not just Apple, and stemmed from significantly higher-than-expected demand.

Q: How to show $x_* \in R(A^T) +z $ is the global minimizer of $\min \frac{1}{2}\|x-z\|_2^2$ over $Ax=b$? Consider the following problem:
$$
\min_{Ax=b} \frac{1}{2}\|x-z\|_2^2
$$
where $z \in \mathbb{R}^{n}$ is a given vector, $x \in \mathbb{R}^{n}$, $A \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times n}$ and $b \in \mathbb{R}^{m}$.
We know that the problem is a convex problem, because the constraint is affine and the objective function is convex. Also, the objective function is strongly convex so the problem has a unique global minimizer. If we assume that $x_*$ is the global minimizer then using Variational Inequality we can show that $x_* \in R(A^T) +z $.
My question is the reverse:
Show that for $x_* \in S$, $x_* \in R(A^T) +z $ is the global minimizer of $\min \frac{1}{2}\|x-z\|_2^2$ over $Ax=b$?

A: $$
x_* -z \in R(A^T)=\{N(A)\}^{\perp}
$$
Therefore, every vector in null space of $A$ is perpendicular to $x_*-z$. So,
$$
\langle x_*-z, y \rangle = 0 \,\,\, \forall y \in N(A) \tag{1}
$$
Since $x_* \in S$, $Ax_*=b$ and $Ax=b\,\,\, \forall x \in S$. Therefore,
$$
N(A)= \{x-x_* \mid x \in S\}
$$
So from (1) $\langle x_*-z, x_* -x \rangle = 0 \,\,\, \forall x \in S$.
Let $y=x_*-z$  and $w=x_* -x$ so $\langle y,w \rangle=0$, Pythagorean for $y,w$ yields
$$
\|y-w\|^2=\|y\|^2+\|w\|^2 \rightarrow \|x-z\|^2=\|x_*-z\|^2+\|x_* -x\|^2 \,\,\forall x \in S
$$
Therefor,
$$
\|x_*-z\|^2 \leq \|x-z\|^2 \,\,\forall x \in S
$$
Hence, $x_*$ is the global minimizer.

TheBlaze just got picked up by another major carrier!
We have been asking you to call and email your television providers for months now to request they add TheBlaze to their channel lineups, and your hard work paying off!
On Monday, it was announced that TheBlaze TV will be added to Buckeye CableSystem, America's 20th largest cable operator, and Shenandoah Telecommunications Company (Shentel), which provides cable TV service in Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland.
"It doesn't happen instantly," Stu said. "This took a lot of calls from a lot of people over a decent amount of time."
"We thank you for calls," Glenn said on radio this morning. "It made a huge difference. There are a couple other operators making the decision right now."
Glenn said that AT&T U-Verse was a provider currently in discussions with TheBlaze, and encouraged listeners to call them and let them know you want TheBlaze.
"Call up a DirecTV or U-Verse and say whoever picks this up first I am going with. That's completely appropriate," Stu said. "You are spend ago lot of money for programming, you might as well get shows you want to watch."
Despite the success, Glenn teased that there were a few providers like DirecTV and Comcast who weren't listening to their customers the same like Buckeye Cable has.
Within the last month, TheBlaze TV was also added to Central Indiana Cable (Greenfield, IN), West Carolina Communications (Abbeyville, SC), Comporium Communications (Rock Hill, SC), and Daktel Communications (Carrington, ND). TheBlaze TV is now distributed on 50 television providers nationwide – including six of the top 30.
If you are interested in seeing TheBlaze added to your channel lineup, we ask you to get involved in the 'Get TheBlaze' campaign. Make your voice heard by calling 1.800.996.2529 or visiting GetTheBlaze.com.
EXCLUSIVE: Poll reveals scary number of Dems support EXTREME authoritarian policies
Over the past year, an increasing number of voices on the left have pushed for radical changes to our way of life, from reforming capitalism to enacting strict vaccine mandates. But are the American people behind these changes? A recent poll from the Heartland Institute and Rasmussen sought to find out, and the results are startling. The three-part poll asked likely voters for their thoughts on the Great Reset (half said they don't know what that is), COVID-19 authoritarianism, and whether they prefer former President Donald Trump or President Joe Biden.
The Heartland Institute's Justin Haskins joined Glenn Beck on the radio program to break down the results of this exclusive poll, including the disturbing revelation that roughly half of Democrats polled supported shockingly authoritarian COVID-19 policies. For example, nearly half of Democrats polled said they think federal or state governments should require unvaccinated people to live in "designated areas or facilitates," or essentially camps. Nearly half of Democrats supported a proposal "to fine or imprison individuals" just for questioning the efficacy of the existing COVID-19 vaccines on social media, television, radio, or in online or digital publications. And, when asked if people who refuse to get vaccinated should lose custody of their children, 20% of Democrats answered "yes."
But the poll showed some good news, too. Watch the video clip below for more details:
Glenn and Justin's new book, 'The Great Reset: Joe Biden And The Rise Of 21st Century Fascism' is available to order now.

Some items shown were not used. Extra was purchased just in case there was not enough material.
1. Measure your fireplace with the green garland.
Mine was less than 9 feet so I was able to double. If you are able to double secure ends with ornament hangers to mark end places. This will help to know where to stop decorating.
2. Wrap colorful garland around the green garland.
3. Attach bows in desired areas. Use as many as you would like.
4. Tie ornaments on garland were desired.
Use the gold ornament string that came with the ornaments.
5. Using the wired ribbon create 2 bows as shown below. These will be placed on both ends.
6. Secure bows in corners. The middle bow was made from left over ribbon.
7. Using tape or decor hangers, hang your New Christmas Decor! Add Christmas stocking if wanted. :) Enjoy!

Has the Media Been Unfair to Sarah Palin?
By Brit Hume, | Fox News
Now some fresh pickings from the Political Grapevine:
Double Standard?
Democrats decried sexist attacks on Senator Hillary Clinton when she was running for president but a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has characterized Sarah Palin's speech last night as "shrill."
Earlier in the week, Palin's opposite number Joe Biden said the difference between himself and the Republican vice presidential nominee is that "she's good looking."
Boston Herald columnist Lauren Beckham Falcone criticized Palin not for the substance of her speech, but for her hairstyle. She writes, "With her long, straight, often pinned-up locks, Palin looks one humid day away from fronting a Kiss cover band... What's her position on scrunchies versus banana clips?"
Media in Denial?
Some in the mainstream media are defending themselves against criticisms of being unfairly harsh in their coverage of Governor Palin. Roger Simon at the Politico newspaper writes sarcastically, "Bad questions. Bad media. Bad. It is not our job to ask questions... our job is to endorse and support."
And Joe Klein writes at Time Magazine online that McCain adviser Steve Schmidt has decided to "slime the press... but the media coverage of the Palin story has been well within the bounds of responsibility... I hope my colleagues stand strong in this case."
And MSNBC's Norah O'Donnell says simply, "The media is not attacking Sarah Palin."
Foreign Defense
But some in the foreign press, which knows something about journalistic attacks, disagree. A column in London's Daily Telegraph says, "Like Margaret Thatcher before her, Mrs. Palin is coming in for both barrels of left-wing contempt: misogyny and snobbery."
A column in the Sydney Morning Herald says that what Palin has faced "just goes to show that establishment feminists are only champions of women who subscribe to a narrow set of left-wing positions."
An editorial in The Australian newspaper took aim at the reporting of Bristol Palin's pregnancy, saying, "Newspapers forgot their progressive embrace of different lifestyles and resorted to reactionary intolerance."
A new Rasmussen poll indicates that a majority of Americans agree. Fifty-one percent think that reporters are trying to hurt Palin with their news coverage. Just five percent say the media are actually trying to help the Alaska governor.
Put on Notice
Democrats have warned Joe Lieberman that he could face repercussions for speaking at the Republican convention. The Independent senator caucuses with the Democrats but supports John McCain. He said in his speech that Barack Obama lacks the experience to be in the White House.
A spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says, "He clearly went too far."
The Washington Post reports Democrats are considering stripping Lieberman of his chairmanship of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee as well as taking away all his other committee assignments. Reid's spokesman says sanctions would not be imposed until after the November election.
Meanwhile, Lieberman has donated more than $145,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

The Bonteh Digital Media Awards 2018 is expected to be big, better and more profitable than its previous edition.
According to Bonteh Engelbert, CEO of the Bonteh Digital Media Awards (BDMA), this year's event is expected to pump a whopping 43,000,000 FCFA into the economy.
It's no doubt that when it comes to media and innovative awards in Cameroon, the BDMA stands out as the first, the most prestigious and most followed. It's also gradually gaining grounds across the country as far as popularity is concerned.
"There are very few events with potentials of getting everyone engaged; digitally and offline. #BDMA2018 stands out as those few events gaining the heart and minds of media, digital and entertainment stakeholders," says the CEO.
Organisers estimate a 1000 man capacity at this year's event in Douala and this could truly further generate income for the other sectors in entertainment.
"Another part of this income will be gotten from lodging of attendees. People will leave from all parts of Cameroon for La Falaise Diamond Bonanjo on the 19th of December 2018 to witness the second edition of the Bonteh Digital Media Awards. Those who won't have friends or relatives to welcome them will need to lodge in hotels. And if we take a least cost of 20,000 FCFA a night for 500 persons (give or take, some people based in Douala may decide to sleep in hotels) it gives us 10,000,000 FCFA hotels will make," says organizers.
Clearly, fashion designers, makeup artists, hair salon owners and hotels aren't the only sectors to benefit from this years BDMA. The gastronomy and transport sectors also stand to gain a lot from these expected '1000 guests', making it possible for the show to generate up to 43 million this year.


In Outward, you have to earn everything yourself. Your second task begins with collecting money to pay off your debts.
Your creditors will be waiting for you at the house. You have to get 150 silver for them because otherwise, they will take the house from you. You have 5 days to complete this part of the task.
You can get the money from your debtors who are sauntering around the city. The remaining money can be obtained by hunting and exploring the world. Sell all raw materials to earn the most money.
A good way to make money is to fight in a cave. There, you will acquire a large number of resources that are easy to sell in the city.
When you get the required amount, go to Rissy Aberdeen. This will unlock the home. Remember that when you're collecting the money, you can freely use the home.
After getting the house back, the mission will be completed. However, if you do not manage to earn the money after five days, the mission will also end. Still, you will be able to get an apartment if you pay 300 silver to a woman - this task no longer has a time limit.

Julie Tan Opens Up About Her Relationship With Pan Lingling & Calvert Tay And Why She's Not Someone You Can Bully
The free-spirited 25-year-old was inexplicably thrust into the Auntie of all Celebrity Feuds, where she saw her cool girl reputation take a severe beating. She opens up about her relationship with Pan Lingling and Calvert Tay, all the hurt she's endured and the tragedy that might have been.
By Jonathan Fam
Updated 26 Aug 2021 11:21
Julie Tan is not angry anymore. Neither is she feeling sad. Maybe it's because she had spent the past few days being furious, crying herself to sleep and wondering what exactly she did wrong. And now she has a lot of things she wants to get off her chest. Which is why, on this breezy Friday night, when most people are out celebrating the end of the work week, I find myself sitting with Julie, in the middle of Bishan Park, chatting about the events that have led up to this moment. Her Hell Week, so to speak.
It all started with a WhatsApp message. That WhatsApp message that Ch 8 actress Hong Huifang had sent out on blast to the friends in her inner circle. The same WhatsApp message that was widely reported to have been received by some 50 people, though Julie tells us that that number was greatly exaggerated. That same WhatsApp message that looked like harmless spam but was actually a semi-automatic that fired words instead of bullets.
Actually, it wasn't so much of a WhatsApp message as it was a Public Service Announcement, one where Huifang wanted everyone close to her to know that she was cutting fellow Ch 8 actress Pan Lingling out of her life. The tone of the message was scathing and harsh. It was also lucid, like a well-written 'A' Levels Chinese essay.
At this point, it kinda feels like we've gone through the metrics of the feud so many times that's they're starting to sound trivial, even boring. But it is necessary. In the message, Huifang revealed three incidents, which she described poetically as "stabs to her heart", as the reasons she was renouncing her friendship with her pal of 20 years. The first two 'stabs' had to do with Huifang's husband, Ch 8 actor Zheng Geping and their 22-year-old daughter Tay Ying respectively. The revelations made by Huifang were sensational — Lingling had created "a mess" between Lingling's husband Huang Shinan and Zheng Geping?! Lingling had said something that hurt Tay Ying till this day?! But they were also scant in detail and left everyone guessing about what actually went on.
Not the third 'stab', though. In Huifang's rant, she raged on about how Lingling's incessant gossiping about the rumoured relationship between Julie and Huifang's son Calvert Tay (nope, they are not dating, Julie tells us) was the final nail in the coffin. The message could have ended there but Huifang went on to offer lurid details of what Lingling had babbled about Julie, stuff that frankly would not look out of place on an Internet forum or a public bathroom wall, stuff that was supposed to be kept private between, well those 50 or less people, but was now made public for everyone to pore over.
We're sure you're familiar with the whole "STD thing". Where Lingling had allegedly asked Calvert to go for an STD inoculation jab after bringing up Julie's dating history, specifically the time the younger actress had dated "a Caucasian" — her ex is actually Turkish, but po-tay-to, po-tah-to in this situation, right? [Side note: We've read the full message and trust us when we say that the STD jibe wasn't even the worst thing Lingling, a long-time family friend of Julie's, had reportedly said about the younger actress. The veteran also took issue with the age difference — at 18, Calvert's seven years younger than Julie — but what transpired in the message is too unsavoury for us to reveal.]
That insinuation about Julie's personal life is the WhatsApp equivalent of a drive-by shooting. And the casualty? The reputation of a young actress, scratch that, young woman. Julie tells us that she found out about the feud between the two veteran actresses the same time as the rest of Singapore. And as more details about the feud surfaced, so did screenshots of that part of the rant that involved Julie. It soon dawned upon the star, as she started receiving more info from those in the know, that she had been inexplicably sucked into the gossip hurricane. She had become collateral damage and worse, her name was getting dragged through the mud.
Suddenly, she was getting comments on her IG, gross, disgusting statements like: "Are you a prostitute?" and "Heard you have STD. Get well soon."
Never one to take things lying down, Julie posted on Insta Stories a thinly-veiled message directed at Lingling, who she said she had "lost all respect for". She then capped that shade-throwing with a vulgarity, something that netizens have taken issue with. Not that it bothers Julie.
"Trust me, those words were not the only vulgarities I had in my mind. I was so hurt!" she tells us.
Julie's mother, Doris, then threated to sue Lingling, who swiftly issued an apology, saying that she didn't wish harm on anyone, including Julie's parents, with her words. "But even my mum says that the damage has been done," sighs Julie. True enough. Scroll through Julie's IG today and you can still see lewd comments sliding in.
Her anger and frustration also comes from her knowing that there's little she can do about the situation — the snide remarks people will pass or the assumptions that people will make about her hence forth. "It feels very sucky. Why must I explain my private life to the public? Do they want me to get a medical review to prove that I don't have an STD? It doesn't make sense. And I know that even if I prove [the naysayers] wrong, they would still have stuff to say about me, "Eh if she got nothing, why must she go and test ah?" she says.
What she's been doing is to find humour in the situation. In particular, the memes created by SGAG. "At least they picked nice pics of me. It could have been worse," she says. She's even commented on one of them — against the wishes of her management company. The humour website had created a mock TV drama poster with photos of her, Calvert, Huifang and Lingling. The title of the drama? So Noisy. "Remember to watch ah!" Julie wrote on SGAG's IG.
When I meet her at the shoot, which you should know was cobbled together less than 12 hours ago, she tells us she's been holed up at home since the scandal blew up earlier in the week. "I've been dealing with the aftermath and it's been an earthquake," she smirks, as she describes it. She's as chirpy and vivacious as always, though there's also an air of defiance about her, not at anyone, but at the situation she's been shoved into.
After the shoot wraps, we drive around in Julie's white Porsche convertible, trying to find a nice cozy spot to chat. But with it being a Friday night, our options are as limited as wifi reception in an elevator. We eventually decide on a watering hole in Bishan Park, 'cos of its relative proximity to the 8 DAYS studio, but when we get there, we realise it's a no-go — the space had been booked for a wedding.
"I think if people see us, they'll go, "Wah, who is she with now? Another guy?" she jokes as we walk around the park. Too soon? Nah… not for Julie. I tell her that I admire how strong she's been and she laughs. "What can I do? Be angry? I think if you're able to laugh at the situation, then maybe it's not that bad," she says.
She spots a stone table smack in the middle of the park and suggests we chat there. Would that be convenient? It's so out in the open, I say to Julie. "We've got nothing to hide, what," she says. So it's settled then. And over the course of our two hour-long conversation, joggers, people walking their dogs, families on their evening stroll, would pass us by. The same people who probably forwarded stories about the feud and wondered to their friends if any of the allegations about Julie were true. I'm not sure if any of them noticed Julie sitting there. If they did, they didn't show it.
Only time will tell if her career will be able to survive this character assassination. But what we know for certain is that she definitely will. After all, one thing's clear: Julie Tan may be the biggest victim of this saga, but she is not a victim.
8 DAYS: How are you feeling now? Angry? Disappointed? Hurt?
JULIE TAN: (Ponders) I think the hurt comes when people write comments like, "Oh do you have STD?", "Why must you make it such a big deal?", "It's nothing what…" When I read stuff like that, I feel a bit... wronged. 'Cos it is something. I don't understand why people don't… (Pauses) Maybe 'cos they're not in it so they don't feel it.
Some netizens lack a sensitivity chip.
Yeah. Actually for the past week, I have been feeling very down, very angry, very hurt. But I woke up today feeling like, hey, it's been a week since the whole thing happened and I'm still alive. And I'm coping very well. My family and those who love me are still around me. My girlfriend stayed over last night and we talked about life and everything. And it made me realise that the most important thing at the end of the day is the people who love you. As for those who have wronged or hurt you, that's something I cannot control.
What do you think of Lingling's apology?
You know, when I saw it, I was like, okay, that should be [the end of] it. She said sorry, but she did not mention what she's sorry for. It was more of a 'I'm going to say sorry in case you send me a lawyer's letter'. But it's okay. In life, you don't get closure for everything. I cannot force her to apologise to me 'cos it doesn't work like that. So if that's how the story is going to be, that's how I am going to accept it.
What was said in that message is very damaging, and not just for an actress.
Yes, anyone would be affected. But there's nothing I can do about it. The damage is done and there's no undoing it. No one deserves to go through what I went through. But [what happened] helps me to see a lot of stuff more clearly now. In the future, I'll teach my kids that words are double edged swords. They can destroy someone or they can build someone up, so be a builder. I've also realised that there's still a lot of bullying going on, that it comes in many forms and we can never stop it.
But there is also a camp of people saying that Huifang's sending of that message constitutes bullying as well.
Yeah, so it's a vicious cycle. And if I were to continue going on with this, it will never end. I can let it stop here. I can take the hurt. I've read that people who bully are most likely depressed themselves. So why not be the bigger person and show them more care and concern? But that's not easy if you're the one being bullied. When I first read the message, I couldn't be the bigger person. I just couldn't. I was feeling so many emotions. I was hurt, I was angry, I was sad. How can someone so much older say such things about me? And we've been family friends for so long and I have always respected her. So I decided to bring it on social media. I wanted to call her out. And I don't regret it. Even though people have been saying stuff like, "Oh you're a celebrity, you shouldn't use vulgarities". But come on, we are human too. I don't see why we cannot express our emotions?
We have to ask: Are you and Calvert dating?
No. We are really, really close friends. But so what if we were dating? Even my mum said, "If you guys really end up together, then okay lor." But for me now, I don't want to be in a relationship. I just want to enjoy my single life.
Would you consider dating a guy so much younger?
I have dated much older guys who are really immature. Age doesn't mean anything. Calvert may be 18 but he is an old soul.
What is he like as a person?
He's very kind and he's got a lot of respect for his elders. My mum loves him a lot. Everyone's mum loves Calvert (laughs). He may be 18 but his level of patience and understanding is way beyond what you would expect of someone his age.
And you guys hang out?
Yeah, me, him, his sister, his cousin, we're very close. I knew their family before I joined showbiz. I think I was 12, 13? My mum owned a golf store and Huifang-jie and even Lingling-jie would go there 'cos they like to play golf. We would also go to a lot of charity golf events and Tay Ying and Calvert would be there too. But Calvert was very young then so I didn't talk much to him. We only became close in these past few years.
So you guys aren't together yet it was your 'relationship' that started the whole mess.
Right? That's why Cal and I… We laugh at what happened.
Was he angry?
He was at first. But he was more hurt than anything. He's dealing with it well and he is smart to keep silent. He's in the army, what more do you all want from him?
So how did the rumour about both of you dating start?
There was a gathering and I remember we were playing Fun Run (a multiplayer smartphone game for millennials) and I was sitting between my god brother and him 'cos we were on the same team. Someone took a video of us playing the game, though the screenshot used in that article only showed me and Cal in it. You know, if we had anything to hide, we would be secretive and tell people not to post, right? Also there were like 16 people there that night and we were watching the World Cup. I mean, I went with Tay Ying to watch the finals at Holland Village. How come no one talked about it? I could be lesbian, right? (Laughs)
We noticed that you commented on that post of Huifang's where she wrote about cutting a hypocritical person out of her life. Did you know then that she was talking about Lingling?
I didn't. I just felt that what she said was relatable. She was talking about fake people and there are a lot of fake people around.
Did you tell Huifang that if she hadn't sent the text, we probably wouldn't be having this conversation now?
No, and there's really no point to that. I read this quote once, "In life, there are no 'what ifs', only 'what happened" and 'the consequences'.
I looked through your IG and saw the comments that people have been leaving. It must feel terrible to read them.
I was very affected. What hurt most was when people said that if I hadn't been "loose" in the first place, no one would have the chance to say such things about me. I think this is a very (sighs)... It reminds me of those cases where a girl gets raped and people say, "Why did she wear such a short skirt?"
Slut-shaming.
Yeah. Come on, what century are we in now and why do people still think like that? For a moment, I could understand why rape victims don't want to come forward sometimes. I'm not saying what I experienced is equivalent to a rape, but it's similar in the sense that when something happens, people always blame the girl. 'Cos I had three boyfriends before so it gives her reason to talk about me? 'Cos my previous boyfriend was an "angmoh" so that's reason for her to talk about me? Okay, and then?
Do you think you would still be as open about your next relationship?
You know, I think I would still be. (Laughs). I mean, come on? It's normal to be in relationships. Unless you want me to be 50 before I go find a boyfriend? Then people would say, "Wah so old haven't gotten married ah?" People will talk no matter what.
I think people forget that you're only 25.
I mean, no one is as lucky as Pan Lingling to have only one relationship her whole life. Good for you! But I remember her telling me, when we were filming A Song To Remember together, that I shouldn't get married too young, and that I should meet more people, to get into a few relationships so I would know what I want and what I don't want. And now she's using that against me. I don't get it. I mean, one of my relationships was abusive, would you rather I continue staying in an abusive relationship?
You mentioned that you've had three boyfriends.
Yeah. I was thinking, "What's wrong with that?!"
Maybe the only difference between you and other 25-year-old girls is that you're in the public eye and you were open about it.
Yeah but it's not like I had 20 boyfriends. That's why I feel like, why? What's wrong?! There are people my age who have been in many more relationships! And then there are also people who are older and who are still enjoying single life and meeting people. Nothing wrong with that too, right? It's a whole new level of judgemental (shrugs).
Do you think she has something against you?
I don't know. You would have to ask her that.
Then why you?
Maybe 'cos I'm close to Calvert? That if you took me out of the equation and it was someone else who was close to him, that person would kena too. But I also think if we take Huifang-jie out of the picture, me and [Lingling] would just be normal.
What's your relationship with Pan Lingling been like all these years?
We don't really talk. But we've been family friends for a long time. We didn't work together after Song to Remember. For actors, if you don't work on the same shows, you won't talk much 'cos everyone is very busy with their lives.
So you guys were never close?
[We were close] only during that period when she played my mum in Song. And she really did take care of me then. And every now and then she would play golf with my mum and they would go for dinner and all. Sometimes I would only find out that my mum met up with her when she posts photos of the gathering on Facebook.
Is your mum still angry?
To be honest, yes. 'Cos she read the comments online. She has an Instagram account, which she uses to stalk me (laughs).
Have you spoken to Lingling since the incident?
Nope. She called my mum but not me. I would be more than happy to pick up her phone call. I mean the world is round, so you never know what's going to happen next. But I don't want to spend my life feeling negative. All this negativity has actually caused a lot of stress on me.
Has it been affecting your health?
Yeah and I think my thyroid is back. My mum mentioned that my throat looks a bit swollen 'cos when I'm stressed, it acts up. So now I'm trying to be more positive and focus on the people who love and care for me. To make the most out of everything.
Your dad has always been very against you joining showbiz. So how's he taking all this?
He. Is. So. Angry. With. Me. 'Cos to him such things shouldn't be aired in public. And it's not something one should be proud of. He has been very firm about me quitting showbiz to work full-time on his business and I would probably come to a decision at the end of the year. For now, I'm trying to convince him that things aren't that bad. But if he goes onto social media… (exhales) Which parent would like to see their daughter get slammed like that?
You mentioned that your dad's biz partners have asked him about the scandal?
Yeah, his business partners have called to ask if everything is okay. I've been helping him with certain aspects of his business and 'cos of what happened, people will question my credibility based on the allegations. So this is all part of dealing with the aftermath. As if it weren't already tough enough for a woman in the business world.
Plus, you're an actress.
Yup no one takes [actors] seriously [in the world of business]. "You just go and film lah, what are you doing here?!"
But you are serious about working on his business?
I'm not there to play around lah.
I think another consequence of this scandal is that now everyone thinks artistes all secretly dislike one another.
I can't speak for other people, but for me, I've always been very clear about who I like and who I don't like. (Laughs)
For the longest time, we've only heard stories about how younger stars are disrespectful of the older ones. Have there been times when you had to swallow your pride when dealing with an older actor because of his seniority?
In the past, you would be able to tell from my face if someone does something I don't agree with. It was that way until someone talked to me about it. The person said, "As much as you don't like someone, you should always respect him or her by virtue of the fact that he or she is older than you." And I asked, "What if he or she doesn't deserve my respect?" And the person said, "Then you can just walk away". But for me, I will tell that person how I feel before walking away. That's the respect that I can give myself. There's also a difference between fighting and standing up for yourself. And right now, I'm standing up for myself. I have been hurt but I'm dealing with it and I am moving on. I won't fake it like I'm fine. I'm just a human being trying to deal with this whole thing.
Which veteran star do you respect most?
[Huang] Biren-jie. She's my mummy lor. [Biren played Julie's mum in Three Wishes (2014)].
Did she get the message?
(Nods) But when she got it, she didn't call me, she didn't even ask me about it.
I guess she didn't want to be the one to break it to me 'cos it's really so nasty. So when it happened, I called her and she said, "Girl, when things have happened, just move on and focus on being a better person."
Have a lot of your former colleagues showed their support for you?
Yeah, everyone's like. "Hey, are you okay? Be strong." Some of them also told me not to care about what's been said and to keep cool. I understand their intentions but to me, if you don't voice out, you'll always get bullied. And I'm here to show that I'm not someone you can bully. I may get hurt, and I'll have setbacks, but at the end of the day, I'll always come back stronger. Some people who have been victims of such bullying have also come to tell me what they've been through. They said that their situation wasn't as bad as mine 'cos at least it wasn't made public. They also said they were proud of me for standing up for myself 'cos all they did was to keep quiet.
Do you know if people have been taking sides?
I don't ask but yeah. There's no point taking sides now, though. That's just feeding into all the negativity. Maybe they want to see a show but after a certain point, let's move on.
Do you think you will distance yourself from social media during this period?
You know, I was asking my PR team [she's managed by Gushcloud now] if I can comment on the SGAG memes and they told me that I should lay low for now 'cos I'm the victim. I was like, "What victim?!" I'm not here to act ke lian ('pitiful' in Mandarin). Just because I'm hurt doesn't mean I'll play the victim.
But it's okay to be the victim.
I just can't. I bounce back fast. Maybe it's 'cos I've finished crying all my tears. I cried a lot during the first few days. I cried myself to sleep. At night, I would look at my ceiling and my tears would fall. I would say, "Why? Is it 'cos I had boyfriends?"… "Am I cheap?" I started to blame myself and trust me, the things I said were probably even nastier than what netizens have written. But I think it's 'cos I allowed myself to feel the hurt and that's why I could heal faster. I don't like to dwell in negativity. You know when I was 23, I went through a very bad break-up and I was so depressed that I even hurt myself.
I used to cut myself. And I still have the scars. I used to always blame myself whenever bad things happened. But I went through that very bad patch of my life and I've learnt how to forgive myself. Now I am able to feel what I'm feeling and be able to curb the urge to hurt myself.
Not many people are willing to admit that about themselves.
In the past, I was also ashamed to admit that I had these thoughts. And the more I tried to fight them, the more I couldn't control it. When I was in New York (where she enrolled in an acting course), one of my teachers told me that as actors, if we ever feel depressed or emotional, it's fine. And at that time, I was, like, "Really? It's okay to feel this way?" She said we needed these emotions for our job. But our emotions are like a dragon, we have to learn how to control it. That's when I learned that it's okay to feel this way. That at the end of the day, you don't hurt yourself but you pick yourself up.
Did you seek help for your depression?
Yes. It was my mentor who realised that I was depressed and that I have anxiety issues. He was very careful when he broached the topic of seeing a psychiatrist. At first I was like, "Why do I want to see a psych? I'm fine." And he said it's not about being fine but it's about speaking to a professional. I was reluctant but when I started, I realised that certain things I felt go back all the way to childhood trauma.
How do you think another person would have reacted in your situation?
If it were me from five years ago, I think I would have fallen into depression again. I would hurt myself. I would look at this thing as such a humiliation, that there's no point living and I should just end my life. That was me then. I wouldn't have known how to cope with all these emotions and the feedback from the public. I wouldn't know how to face my parents. Wow, it could have been very bad.
It's important for people to know that it's okay to admit that they're depressed and to ask for help.
Yes. Some people are afraid how others would view them. Like, "Eh, she siao one", "Must be keng one". But you'd be surprised. When I was depressed, I looked okay from the outside but when I was home, I'd start crying. Seeking help is not something to be ashamed about. It's about dealing with your emotions.
How do you think you will look at this whole incident a year from now?
I think I would be proud of myself if I'm able to walk out of this knowing that I came out a better person. But right now I'm still in the midst of walking out. That's why I say I'm not a victim. It's very tiring to be a victim. And I've got no time for that.

Q: How to close the mobile navbar after clicking I'm making a website and need some help with the navbar for a mobile device.
Basicly I want to close the nav when clicked for example "Destaques". All i need to do is remove the class "opened" when I clicked at any link.
since it's only one page, it never redirects to any other page.
I've tried to change with the function .click and getElement by Id but didnt work, so I click on  but want to change the class for  from <nav class="nav1 opened" to <nav class="nav1"
Here's an example of my code.

 Contact

Does anyone have a solution for this, I've tried probably 20 diferent ways but haven't found a awnser.

A: That won't happen because when you click on  tags that contains href Attribute, page will refresh and JavaScript Codes won't work
you should use a "close button" using<button> tag instead of  tags

A: If you use jQuery you could do this
$( ".nav1" ).removeClass("opened");

A: Luis,
I have set up some code for you that will add/remove .open class.  All in regular JS.  This can be applied to your hamburger icon instead of the button for the open click event and each
 for the close event.
The Fiddle

A: Try this
$('a').click(function(e){
   e.preventDefault();
   $(this).closest(".nav1").removeClass("opened");
})

I am VAT registered in the EU; how do I make sure I am not charged VAT?
Enter your VAT number when you order. We will check it with the Taxation and Customs Union and as long as it's valid for the country your order is being shipped to, we won't add any VAT.
