Glory duo have no beef with Melbourne City

They both parted ways with Melbourne City in acrimonious fashion, but Perth Glory duo Bruno Fornaroli and Neil Kilkenny will have nothing but love for their previous employers when they return to their former stomping ground on Friday night.
Fornaroli and Kilkenny were both forced to look elsewhere to revive their A-League careers after being frozen out by then-Melbourne City coach Warren Joyce.
Kilkenny linked up with Glory in January 2018, and has since become a mainstay in the midfield.
Fornaroli played just four games for City last season before signing on with Glory at the end of the campaign.
Joyce is no longer at Melbourne City, and both Fornaroli and Kilkenny have been eager to express they have no beef at all with the club itself.
"It's a fantastic club, run really well, and I really enjoyed my time there," Kilkenny said ahead of Friday night's clash at AAMI Park.
"I'm looking forward to the game now."
Glory sit dead last on the table after securing just one win and three draws from their first seven games.
City are flying in second spot, with striker Jamie Maclaren on fire after netting nine goals in four games.
"He does a fantastic job for them," Kilkenny said of the former Glory marksman.
"The movement that he creates by running behind and stretching the play creates space for other players in the hole."
Glory have dominated various games this season without being able to come away with the win.
Coach Tony Popovic says it's been difficult to break down teams who have adopted a defence-minded strategy and who only want to attack on the counter.
Kilkenny believes the results will soon fall Glory's way.
"We've been dominating games all season really with the ball possession wise, but not punishing teams and then letting goals in at the back," Kilkenny said.
"Hopefully we can improve that on Friday night."

I'm reading a book by Sarah Beth Marr called Dreaming with God: A Bold Call to Step Out and Follow God's Lead. It reminds me that sharing my hopes and desires with God brings me closer to him.
I'm a dreamer. I always have been. There's nothing better than the moment your aspirations become a reality. Growing up, I loved fashion. From the time I was two years old, I was picking out my own clothes, and early on I told my mom I wanted to buy clothes for a living. At the age of 24, I became the youngest assistant buyer at the JCPenney headquarters in Plano, TX. When I was in high school, I joined the Italian club to learn Italian as a hobby (yes, I was always this nerdy) and envisioned myself living in and studying in Italy. I studied there during my junior year of college. My entire life I was a dancer, taking four to six classes a week. I was never the best or the most flexible, but I loved to dance and longed to become a dance teacher. Now, I teach Zumba fitness, a Latin dance fitness class. It brings me so much joy to accomplish the goals I set before myself.
One of the most life-changing dreams that God ever put on my heart was when he told me to leave my life in Texas and move to South Korea. Everyone said I was crazy. They didn't know that God gave me that dream, but I knew. I had asked him for one. He laid all the pieces out like breadcrumbs, giving me one at a time until I had the whole picture. That really made my friends and family think I was crazy—that I couldn't answer all their questions at the very beginning. I knew I was supposed to move to Korea before I knew what I was supposed to do there…before I knew where I was supposed to live, what my job would be, how I would get there, or what the purpose was. Little did I know that it would be one of the most beloved times of my life. Having now been to 40 countries, South Korea is still my favorite place in the world.
See, dreaming with God brings more joy than we can imagine.
God places things on our hearts to bring us joy, give us hope, and (I think) to see if we trust him. He gives us the opportunity to have faith, trust, and to lean on him. And he rewards us by fulfilling those visions that make our hearts the happiest. What is the most important part? Knowing the dream. He doesn't shout it. He may not even say it. Maybe you just feel it or one day have an idea or inclination. But know, all those visions and wishes and ideas, he put them there. And if you trust him, pray over it, and confirm that it actually came from him…he will help you achieve it. He gave you that dream knowing how much it would delight you.
Maybe you're thinking, "But I don't have a dream…" Have you asked for one? Remember, you are part of a divine plan and purpose. There is an endless amount of opportunities. And you were created to fulfill one. Maybe you just haven't pressed pause on your life or taken the time to be still and listen.
You are part of a divine plan and purpose. There is an endless amount of opportunities. And you were created to fulfill one. Maybe you just haven't pressed pause on your life or taken the time to be still and listen.
God wants us to dream!
He made our lives, circumstances, and personalities all completely different and on different scales. Don't compare your dreams to mine or your friends', and don't compare your day two to my day 956 or her day 347. God starts with small visions. He knows what we can handle. Some of us were born daydreaming. For others, it was never even a thought in our minds. As we learn to listen to our heart, trust God, and follow the directions, we're given bigger dreams.
For those of you that have children, you wouldn't give a four-year-old the job of mowing the lawn. You may let them hold the handlebar while you mow the lawn, but they're too small and don't know how. Even if you gave them instructions and showed them, their listening skills and maturity aren't developed enough to follow the directions, so they wouldn't, and then they could be discouraged or hurt themselves. You might start with having them help you fold laundry, easy and no risk. Then do dishes. Then, when they're bigger, more experienced and more mature, you might ask them to mow the lawn.
God is the same way. Remember, to him; we are children. He won't give us anything more than what we're experienced enough to handle or than what he can help us accomplish. And, especially in our weaknesses, that is where God shows up strong (Philippians 4:13).
The Bible is full of dreamers! Some people were born with them, and others God told exactly what the plan was. Remember Abraham; God gave him a mission. Remember David; God gave him a vision too. For every single one, God was there to help them fulfill each season of the dream until they came to complete fruition. So, don't be scared of big dreams or of dreaming in general. It is an opportunity for you to experience the greatest joy!

Peloton Responded To *That* And Just Like That Premiere Scene
Someone needed to answer for this.
By Rachel Varina
Craig Blankenhorn/HBO
For years, viewers have been eagerly waiting for Sex and the City to return to their screens. And with HBO Max's new series, And Just Like That — which premiered on Dec. 9 — fans are finally getting to see what's next for *most* of their favorite characters. But unfortunately, not everyone on the show got a happy ending. If you're reeling from a certain exercise bike incident from the premiere, you're certainly not alone. But Peloton's response to that And Just Like That death makes it clear the company does not want to be blamed for it.
Warning: Major spoilers for And Just Like That Episodes 1 and 2 follow. Going into the reboot, fans ~couldn't help but wonder~ why. after 20 years off air (and 10 since the films came out), now was the time to see what was going on in the world of Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte. The answer, of course, is pure and utter devastation. Enter: the death of one very integral character. It didn't take long for And Just Like That to casually rip out the hearts of viewers (just me?); during the very first episode, it did just that when John James Preston (more commonly known as Mr. Big) passed away from a heart attack.
The gut-wrenching moment took place toward the end of the premiere episode. After Mr. Big completed his 1000th ride on his Peloton, he headed to the shower and started feeling pain in his left arm. Carrie arrived home from a piano concert to find him collapsed on the floor. The two made eye contact before she rushed to his side and held him in her arms while he died.
It was, to put it mildly, one of the saddest television deaths to ever occur. Not an opinion. A literal fact. But before you get mad at Peloton, the company responded to Mr. Big's death in a statement on Dec. 9. Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, a preventative cardiologist and member of Peloton's health and wellness aadvisory council, told EW:
I'm sure SATC fans, like me, are saddened by the news that Mr. Big dies of a heart attack. Mr. Big lived what many would call an extravagant lifestyle — including cocktails, cigars, and big steaks — and was at serious risk as he had a previous cardiac event in Season 6. These lifestyle choices and perhaps even his family history, which often is a significant factor, were the likely cause of his death. Riding his Peloton Bike may have even helped delay his cardiac event.
Craig Blankenhorn / HBO Max
If you recall, Mr. Big had heart issues in the later seasons of the original series, which probably played a role in his AJLT death. "More than 80% of all cardiac-related deaths are preventable through lifestyle, diet, and exercise modifications," Dr. Steinbaum continued. "And while 25% of heart attacks each year are in patients who already had one (like Mr. Big), even then they are very, very treatable. The lesson here is, know your numbers! It's always important to talk to your doctor, get tested, and have a healthy prevention strategy. The good news is Peloton helps you track heart rate while you ride, so you can do it safely."
So, while Peloton can't exactly take away the pain everyone's feeling after Mr. Big's death, take comfort in the fact that the bike might have kept the character around long enough for fans to get to say goodbye.
And Just Like That continues with new episodes every Thursday on HBO Max.


There are those people today who live the same life, day-in day-out – predictable, risk-free, dreamless. They are the harshest critics of those who choose to break free from this mundane existence.
In this world, too many people are afraid to pursue the life they truly desire, too afraid of being criticised by others, too afraid of failing, too afraid of not knowing the way.
However, there are also those who choose to follow their dreams, those who choose to rebel, those who strive to be free – those who live. Stay true to yourself. Break free from the chains of society – and live. May you too have the strength and courage to pursue your dreams.
Throughout the globe, distinct geographical, environmental and political climates have shaped each community to the form it exists today, resulting in a diverse array of cultures worldwide. Diversity offers us opportunities for inter-societal sharing of ideas that help us solve the problems within each other's communities.
Living in and being involved in the global economy means that our actions and decisions affect those living on other parts of the planet. Climate change has also opened our eyes to the fact that how we live our lives can have global ramifications. As we enter the second decade of the 21st century, and the world becomes increasingly integrated and globalised, diverse and unique cultures are rapidly disappearing.
These things can't be solved by monthly charity donations (though I am not suggesting that you stop!). Have a look around and see some other ways of living. Why do we choose TVs and cars? Did we even choose it? Could we do things differently, and still be happy? Should we do things differently?
The Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages (www.livingtongues.org) reports that on average, one distinct language is being lost every two weeks with 50 per cent of all languages estimated to be extinct in 100 years' time. In a recent study published in the eminent scientific journal Nature, Sutherland and colleagues (doi:10.1038/nature01607) found that 46 languages have less than 10 native speakers left and 357 languages with less than 50 speakers, with the languages becoming extinct at a far greater rate than animal species.
I believe that cultural diversity is important, and valuable enough to be preserved. There is a lot of indigenous knowledge (natural resource management, care for local flora and fauna, history, medicine, societal relations, political structures, economic systems, moral codes) that is only to be found within the hands of peoples that have lived in the region for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Also, as each of these different cultures has evolved throughout unique geographical and political climates, there are many different elements of societal culture, ideas and tenets, which are unique to their situation. Thus, by maintaining the diversity that is present on this little jewel of a planet, we are not losing potential for ideas of how to organize our society. What elements and practices in these other societies might we be able to incorporate into our society?
All my expeditions (or journey's as I prefer to call them) and subsequent documentation have not been about unquestioningly valuing all cultures as equal, not about blindly promoting tolerance of their customs and ways of life, nor one of moral relativism either, but rather one of questioning my own lifestyle, their lifestyle, our own beliefs and practice, and their beliefs and practices. This involves learning what tools they use and how they use them – both in terms of locally available resources (natural capital, flora and fauna) and the values and tenets of their social, political, economic and legal systems.
Learning from other cultures consists of seeing what does and what doesn't work for certain cultures, what problems their cultures have and what beneficial elements they have. Then, one must ask why it does or doesn't work. By seeing what faults our culture may have, what solutions other cultures may have to this, and what problems they have, we can better find solutions to the universal problems that plague humankind. Thus, in the process, one ends up questioning their own beliefs, and garnering new knowledge or ways of looking at things.
People often are not concerned with the preservation of the diversity of different cultures and the knowledge they have acquired, not so much because they do not care, but because often they do not know. If they saw and understood the importance of these cultures, they would be more likely to be moved to act. When people can connect first hand, empathise, sharing joy and sadness with these people, they will be emotional attuned to their cultures, more able to see themselves in their shoes, not so far removed. Once people see and understand the beauty and importance of these people and cultures and their indigenous wisdom, they will hopefully understand and promote the preservation of this diversity and its acquired knowledge. This is what I aim to do on all of my "journeys".
From this foundation itself, stems other questions, which I hope people may go some way towards answering in time (if possible) or even just questioning. Are other cultures important? If so, why are they important? Are we all part of the same or independent nature/culture? What is our role/place in a world full of many disappearing cultures and indigenous knowledge? I hope that that of my journeys and their subsequent documentation will help people explore some of these (and many more) questions, and move them to search for answers.
As I travelled throughout the world on numerous journey, I hoped to get a glimpse of and document many other lifestyles. I aimed to do this as an observer, without tarnishing the very cultures we were trying to document. However, when venturing into a foreign environment as an observer, it is a trade-off between minimal impact on these cultures (to capture them in their most pure form), and documenting it to help people understand it. By entering these fragile and uncontaminated cultural areas you often cause change to the indigenous populace by altering, bringing in, taking away, or even unconsciously changing them; how much of this is legitimised by the documentation of these people? This has also ways been one of the larger issues concerning the planning and logistics of my journeys, which required careful attention (almost like a getting Ethics approval for a research project).
These vanishing cultures if not documented now, will have their wisdom and knowledge (which has been gathered throughout the centuries and passed down from generation to generation) lost forever. Our current lifestyle as it is, is not the only way to live, there are many things wrong with it, it is only by looking to how other cultures live that we can progress. It is only by looking at other groups lifestyles that we can see how we can change ours, what works in their way of life, what doesn't, what works in our way of life, what doesn't, that we can truly move forward. This is what journeys was all about for me. They are as much introspective journeys as they are physical journeys, catered towards helping me learn more about myself and the world, and helping other people do the same.
For me, journeys are an opportunity to really grow and learn. There are always very real risks involved in such enterprises and I recognise that I am often stepping well out of my comfort bubble – that my security will only be centred squarely on my wits (and sometimes my reliance on other people), not on my house, or my car, or mobile phone. The diverse range of environments I have encountered throughout my travels, both geographical, social and political, have all been very testing.
In a world where we are so focused on surviving in our own isolated economic driven culture, the idea of taking a person out of that and placing them in a foreign society without Western technology or material wants – "living to live" – has always been intriguing for me. How would I survive? How would I live without the things we take for granted; piped water, electricity, mobile phones? It is always interesting to find out what draws us humans to seek out these foreign cultures and what we have in common with them – it it something innate, something socially constructed, or something else? How would my experiences of these people change me? How would I cope when I was thrown into a foreign culture, a situation of unfamiliarity, people I did not know? Would I experience a feeling of alienation and anomie, or would there be some underlying connection with humanity that I would experience that we always make me feel part of it and not distant.
There are a number of reasons I decided to partake on the many journeys I have: the challenges that they presented to myself and what I presently considered to be important; the opportunity to see and record some of these special people and places; and the opportunity to bring to the public the knowledge these local cultures have gathered over the centuries.
One of the lessons that I have learnt throughout my travels has been about the importance of community, something I have found that a lot of cultures place a lot more importance on than what we do. I have often (but not always) found that our society is one of freedom, individualism and competition, compared to many of the more communitarian cultures I have encountered.
A friend and I were once riding through the Kazakh steppe in mid-winter, the snow was mid-thigh deep and the temperature around -30c, with the wind blowing a gale. As the blizzard picked up, we soon decided that the safest course of action was to stop pedalling and try setup our tents. We were already extremely weary, as no matter how much we pedalled and pushed, we were only making about 3km/ph due to the wind, snow depth, and friction in our drive train. Out in the distance, we saw what appeared to be a stonewall. Guessing that it might be an animal shelter, we started the long trudge through the snowdrift to it, hoping to use the stonewall to protect our tent.
As we neared the stonewall, a shepherd suddenly appeared. It turned out that what we thought was just a stonewall from afar, was actually his house. We were quickly ushered inside where a cow dung fire was roaring away, fed a mountain of food and put to sleep in thick woollen blankets.
Later that night, when we were all sound asleep, we were awoken by a knock on the door. An exhausted snow covered shepherd staggered in. Just imagine this man covered in animal skins and fur with a thick layer of snow over him. This small man (he probably weighed less than me) looked about the size of a large gorilla due to all the layers of clothing he had on, maybe that's how legends of yetis came about!
This shepherd lived some 15km further up in the mountains, and was on his way home out through the steppe (no tracks existed, and the snow out in the centre was waist deep) when the blizzard picked up. With the snow too deep to continue, his horse getting cold, and him nearly getting lost in the blizzard, he was looking for a place stay the night and have some hot food and tea to warm up. If he hadn't stopped for shelter, it could have been fatal.
He was immediately taken in, the stove relit, food and tea heated up for him, and given a mattress and blankets to sleep on, before the hosts retired back to bed. No payment or anything was expected of him, and the hosts were more than happy to be awoken from their slumber to cook for him.
This wasn't just a once off incident either, we experienced this same hospitality countless times in our travels, it's their way of life.
These shepherds are spread few and far between with their nearest neighbours often 10's of kilometres apart – sometimes even 100s of kilometres apart, with just mountains, barren steppe, desert and snow between them, with no food, or shelter in sight. It is only by having the ability to stop off at any residence they encounter that they are able to make the journeys that are such an important part of their livelihood.
This tradition of hospitality stretches back as far as anyone can remember. Any person can at any time, turn up at another person's residence and be expected to be helped out.
Without this spirit of hospitality, generosity, compassion and humanity, people would not be able to survive in these harsh environments. It is only by helping and supporting each other as part of the same community that these people are able to survive. Their survival is dependent on each other. This community spirit that they harbour is something we can all learn from.
Let me leave you with one more proverb I encountered during my travels. I won't attempt to explain it, I'll leave what you take away from it up to you.

How're you gorn on bor?
Crudely translated as How you getting on, mate?
Norfolk. The arse of England.
Firstly, 5 interesting historical facts about my fine city and cultural hub of Norfolk - Norwich.
1. Norwich could have been the capital of England. (In the 11th Century London and Norwich were the two biggest cities in England).
2. The Norwich Post was England's first provincial newspaper, published in 1701.
3. Norwich was the first place in the UK to have postcodes. (They tested them out here and began testing an electronic way of sorting through all the post).
4. Norwich Cathedral has the second tallest spire in England. (Only Salisbury Cathedral has taller).
5. The Wild Man Pub is thought to be named after a feral child who mysterious tuned up in Norwich in 1751.
A quirky, seaside town on the North Norfolk Coast. Famous for its sandy beach, iconic pier complete with theatre, towering lighthouse and delicious locally caught crab. The town is awash with local independent shops, has a strong tradition with the RNLI service (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) and plenty of places for a bloody good Ice-Cream. Rum & Raisin if you're asking?
Must See - No.1 chip shop. If you can grab a table in the sit down restaurant you'll be in for a treat with stunning, uninterrupted views over the pier and beach. Mentioned in the Michelin Restaurant guide for 2017, be sure to order the cockle popcorn and mushy pea fritter. Yum.
An area reflecting the true history of Norwich. Cobbled pedestrian lanes and alleyways where you will find eclectic independent retailers, quaint pubs, curious entertainment venues, art galleries and the award-winning Ter Dolen Kriek (Cherry Beer) served at the Belgium Monk pub. Oh, and don't forget the medieval castle standing lordly over the city centre!
Must see - Moosey Art. A contemporary art gallery showcasing some of the world's leading street artists, as well as introducing up and coming talent. Known for pop up exhibitions, it's ever evolving curation is a feast for the eyes.
For those with children out there. A wild and imaginative adventure park bought to life from Tom Blofield's book - Boggle at Bewilderwood. Think outdoor forest fun with tree houses, zip wires, jungle bridges and a boat trips. Voted best outdoor play area in 2015.
World renowned (even mentioned in a Bowie song) rivers and lakes covering 117 square miles. Ideal for a day boating or for the twitches out there, a chance to glimpse the elusive marsh harrier. Keep the energy levels up and stop off for a pub lunch at one of the many riverside pubs.
A 15th century stately home steeped in history and linked with Anne Boleyn (even said to be haunted by her - Ooooooh). Transport yourself back to the 1930's with a tour around the house taking in the former owner Lord Lothian's grand settings, portraits and photos. Be sure to visit on a sunny day to appreciate the gardens and park in all their glory.
A quintessential, picturesque Norfolk town. Dubbed Norfolk's loveliest village and known as 'Chelsea-on-sea'. Elegant brick and flint Georgian cottages all cluster around a central green. Stroll around the area take in the wonderful architecture and visit the high street for speciality local shops. Gurnery Fish shop produces the best locally smoked fish around.
Birdie Fortescue's - The Kitchen is a great place for fresh pastries, cakes, quiches and soups. Set in a Scandinavian style balanced with her love for antiques, results in a tranquil eatery with a great ambience. Greeting by the smell of scented candles there are some great artistic home wares to purchase adding a touch of class and fun to your home.
The most beautiful stretch of sand in the country, all four miles of it. The big sky meets the horizon giving clear views for miles on end. Soul purifying. Dog friendly and voted the best beach in the UK, a winter walk here will definitely clear away those cobwebs.
Owned by the Royal Family since 1862 and a country escape for Queenie. Open to the public free of charge every day of the year you can take in 24 hectares of gardens, set in 8000 hectares of the estate! The house's ground floor used by the Royal's contains some very special silver gilt and enamel all gifted by European Royal families as well as significant family portraits.
Must see - The Museum in the old coach and stable block. Holding a unique display of estate history, the Vintage Royal motor vehicles is fascinating.
SEALS. Rounding up the beach list and my Norfolk secrets archive, from November to February Horsey is overflowing with literally hundreds of breeding grey seals. A surreal sight and something you shouldn't really miss if you get the chance. Wild nature on the doorstep. Literally.
If you know of any under-appreciated areas or attractions in Norfolk.

By Dan Olson and Russ Gregg
We believe the mis-education of American inner city youth is one of the greatest Biblical justice issues of our day. But to solve a problem, you have to deeply understand it. Our conviction is that the urban education crisis is a symptom of a much deeper society-wide problem: the rejection of God as creator and redeemer, and deep confusion around society's understanding of personal and societal sin.
This tragic blindness to God and a true understanding of sin as God defines it has deeply affected our schools—private, public and charter; urban and suburban. C.S. Lewis, in his prescient book The Abolition of Man, called it the "poison of subjectivism", and that it would inevitably lead to "men without chests" and downfall of Western civilization.
All across America, this education divorced from the image of God has relatively quickly deteriorated into the dismissal of God from classrooms, the rejection of truth from textbooks, the disregarding of parents, the abuse of teachers, and the warehousing of students. It has contributed to school shootings, voluntary segregation along ethnic lines, a yawning achievement gap, gender confusion, classroom chaos, and generation after a lost to drugs, gangs, and teenage pregnancy.
And who is most affected by these currents? Our most vulnerable resource: low-income, minority youth, or, what Dr. Vernard Gant calls A.C.E. students 1 — Academically disenfranchised, Culturally diverse, and Economically disadvantaged students. 2
Today in America, there are around 13.6 million school aged A.C.E students (ages 5-17). The vast majority—around 80%—live in U.S. cities. Only 132,000 of these students — less than 1% — are enrolled in an Evangelical Protestant Christian school. 3
This crisis of access to faith-based education in the Judeo-Christian heritage has been building over the last twenty years for two main reasons. First, between 2000 and 2006 nearly 1,200 faith-based schools (50% of them Catholic) closed in America's inner cities, forcing more than 400,000 students to find other schools. 4 This trend has only continued. Second, traditional Christian schools in both urban and suburban communities have become increasingly cost-prohibitive, making access for A.C.E. students through scholarships increasingly rare. 5
The result is that nearly 99% of our most vulnerable students will spend 14,000 hours (180 days, 6 hours, for 13 years) in schools where it is illegal for classroom teachers to base their teaching in the only source of ultimate hope: Jesus Christ. While high-income, socially stable families can afford to choose to homeschool or enroll their kids in the thousands of Christian schools in America, this is simply not an option for nearly any low-income, minority youth in most U.S. cities.
The problem is massive and addressing it is urgent. Perhaps God is calling you to do something about it.
Another A.C.E. acronym is much more commonly used in educational circles: Adverse Childhood Experiences (A.C.E.). Schools, including Hope Academy, seek to understand trauma and it's effects using an A.C.E. score. These A.C.E.s — such as abuse, drug use in the home, fatherlessness, incarceration — are common in under-served communities
In an America context, A.C.E. students are in families who meet federal low-income guidelines and are ethnically Hispanic, African or African-American, Native American, and Pacific Islander. Dr. Vernard Gant today serves as the director of the A.C.E. Student Success Center of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI).
We estimate that 132,000 (62%) of an estimated 216,700 A.C.E. students (19.7%) enrolled in Evangelical Christian schools in America (Hispanic (8.1%), African or African-American (10.6%), American Indian (0.5%), Pacific Islander (0.5), Low income estimate of 62% taken from National Center for Children in Poverty Report: http://www.nccp.org/profiles/US_profile_6.html). Estimate of 1.1 million total students enrolled in Evangelical Christian schools in America taken from 2015-2016 report, estimate of 18% of the 10% of American students enrolled in Private Schools (5,751,000). See tables here: https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2017/2017073.pdf. Overall, 22 million (40%) of the 55 million school aged children in America are African American (15%), Hispanic (25%), or Native American (1%), based on population numbers gathered from the Henry J. Kaiser Foundation. See https://www.kff.org/other/state-indicator/children-by-raceethnicity/.

Nikolai Berdyaev
1874-1948. Religious philosopher. Born in Kiev, he was early attracted to Marxism, and although he never repudiated his commitment, he was also a member of the [[Russian Orthodox Church]]. He was brought to trial by the church in 1914 for his nonconformist position in religious matters, and was saved from sentencing only by the onset of the Russian Revolution. Like other intellectuals during the early purges, he was expelled from his post as a professor of philosophy at Moscow University, and from the USSR in 1922, He went first to Berlin and then to Paris (1924) where he founded an academy for the study of philosophical problems.


After working on revamping their branding with Contrast Creative, this long-established Manchester firm of hat makers wanted fashion photography for use in their 2013 brochure which would continue their evolution and represent their newly updated brand.
We managed the entire project from initial location and model scouting through to the post-production. Our expert fashion stylist hand-picked the models contemporary clothing and sourced the appropriate props. Considerable in-depth planning was required from the outset and the keenest attention to detail was paid, even taking into account such variables as the position of the sun.
Thanks to our strict adherence to the shooting schedule, we managed to get all the necessary outside shots in the bag in just one day. The brochure was exceptionally well received by both client and their trade customers alike with year on year sales increasing by over 20%.


Straddling the Mekong River within earshot of Laos, Nong Khai is the most popular travel destination in Thailand's northeastern "Isaan" region. With magnificent landscapes, waterfalls and serene forest temples in the surrounding province, the capital offers a good mix of riverside scenery, affordable accommodation, eclectic food and one quirky yet awe-inspiring sculpture park.
For many, Nong Khai is mainly viewed as a gateway to Vientiane, the capital of Laos, but it's well worth a few days (or more) in its own right. At the very least, it's a great place to while away the last few days of your Thai visa before crossing the bridge for some Lao adventures — or simply to buy more time in Thailand. The Thai embassy over in Vientiane is one of the world's busiest, and many expats linger in Nong Khai for months (or lifetimes) to enjoy the laid-back air and easy border runs.
Head outside of the capital and you'll pass through quaint riverside villages that seem to stretch on and on. The scenery is stunning in places, with rolling mountains tapering into vast fields of tobacco, papaya and water lilies that often extend to the river's edge. A manageable motorbike or bus ride to the west of Nong Khai town, the village of Sangkhom boasts waterfalls, caves, mountaintop temples and no shortage of riverside relaxation.
Great view poitn views on the way to Sangkhom.
In the 1970s, this ongoing tale of two riverbanks entered a new chapter when thousands of Lao royalists and refugees fled to Nong Khai during the Communist takeover. Many Vietnamese also found their way to Nong Khai during and after the American War, and their presence is still noticeable in both the food and temple architecture.
Nong Khai province is also home to a refugee camp where Hmong people who fought on the American side during the war have sought refuge from persecution (or worse) at the hands of the Lao government. In a move that drew much criticism, Thai authorities forcefully deported some 4,000 Hmong asylum-seekers in 2009, and the rudimentary camp no longer accepts new refugees.
In spite of this often-tumultuous past, the current relationship between Thailand and Laos is largely focused on cooperation. It was through Nong Khai that the original Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge began shuttling foreign travellers into Laos in 1994, and this remains Laos' most popular land entry point. At Tha Sadej Market and Nong Khai pier, goods from both countries and beyond are briskly traded each day.
If you're in Nong Khai for the full moon that marks the end of the Buddhist rains retreat (usually in late October), don't miss the annual Naga Fireball festival. Every year on this entrancing eve, soft-glowing balls of light mysteriously float over the Mekong. Locals believe them to be the work of mythic naga snakes, though skeptics say the "magic orbs" are nothing more than tracer fire from the Lao side, or less likely, some sort of flammable gas that occurs naturally in the marshy soil. Whatever the cause, elaborate festivities accompany the fireballs.
Like the province, Nong Khai town is long and thin from east to west, with most of the guesthouses found along or near the river in the central to western part of town.
Connected by dozens of narrow side streets, three main thoroughfares run east to west through town. Not far from the river, Mee Chai Road is a bustling affair with countless restaurants, cafes and a few places to stay. Running parallel to Mee Chai, one block to the south, Prajak Road is where you'll find the bus terminal in a central location just west of Wat Pho Chai. Further south and again parallel to Prajak, Route 212 is a multi-lane highway that you'll probably only cross if heading to Sala Kaew Ku in the town's southeastern reaches.
The riverside promenade and Tha Sadej market are located, more or less, in the centre of town, and these are major gathering points for locals and travellers, with a number of guesthouses also located here. Head east along the river and Rimkhong Road shoots you past several bars and more temples.
Head west from the promenade at Nong Khai pier and Kaew Woravut Road leads to more guesthouses before passing directly under the Friendship Bridge after a few kilometres. This picturesque road hugs the Mekong all the way to the town of Tha Bo, 30 kilometres to the west. From here, hop on Route 211 and you can ride alongside the river through Sri Chiang Mai and Sangkhom, eventually ending up in Loei province.

Atlantic city as a casino entertainment district is small compared to Las Vegas or even Macau but the best attraction of the place, for me, is the ocean view of the rooms of every hotel in the area. We arrived 15 minutes early in New York city, parked the bus along 8th Avenue (crossing 50th street) where we waited for the tourist guide who's supposed to show us around. Anyway, our tour guide showed us around the city, taking us to Broadway, Manhattan, China town, Wall Street, Battery park (where a good view of Lady Liberty can be seen).

You would like to capture long exposure photographs in daylight? Then you need to significantly reduce the amount of light reaching your camera sensor. 'Black Glass' (BG) is a popular term for Neutral Density (ND) filters reducing the light by 10 stops, which means by a factor of 1000! Such filters are very, very dark and once attached to the lens of your DSLR you can't really see through, and in most cases the camera will be unable to focus or measure for exposure settings.
How to determine the camera exposure settings? This is where the Photoxor C1 filter calculator comes to help.
For some background reading on 'Black Glass' do a Google search or have a look at Peter Hill's excellent article.
In Photoxor C1 define the filter characteristic of your BG filter.
Go to Settings --> Filter List and press Add Filter.
Alternatively you can use the 10-Stop filter characteristic (universally called 'ND 1000 / ND3.0 / ND110 (10.0)') shipped as part of the Photoxor C1 default filter configurations.
First, setup the scene without the BG filter attached.
Set your camera to RAW mode if available.
Whenever possible capture your images in RAW format ; this allows for better adjustments of the result.
Put your camera on a tripod and frame the scene.
Focus your scene and then make sure the focus distance is set to manual.
Set the white balance; best use custom mode.
For RAW capture you may skip this step and adjust later as part of post-processing.
Set the exposure (without filter), again use manual mode, and do so for ISO too.
Take a reference photo and adjust exposure / focus if needed.
Now it's time for Photoxor C1.
Start the application and go to the Exposure Filter screen.
Under 'Camera Settings without Filter' enter the exposure data of the reference image from above.
Note: add only filters you attach after taking the references photo!
Select the characteristics of your BG filter. In case you have got the Filter Stack extension you can define a stack of filters, for example you might use multiple ND filters to achieve the BG effect.
Be careful not to change composition or focus distance!
Set the exposure time, aperture, ISO as calculated by Photoxor C1.
For best results consider remote release.
From version 1.4.6 onwards Photoxor C1 provides a builtin timer for exposure settings of 3 seconds and longer. Set you camera to BULB mode, press shutter release and the timer button. Now the timer counts down and gives you an alert when to close the shutter.
If you find the image over or under exposed in comparison to the reference image, you might want to adjust the filter characteristics in Photoxor C1 (reduce or increase the light reduction factor (stops) of the filter).
The Filter Stack extension allows you to fine tune the light reduction in fractions of a Stop, for example set it to 10.1 if your result was a bit to dark. The free version only supports definition in full stops.
Post-process your image in a tool such as Lightroom or Photoshop.

Street art: 43 incredible examples to inspire you (part 2)
Posted on December 18, 2018 December 26, 2018 by Sashka Ristevska
See Part 1
Street art.. most beautiful decoration on the common alleys, concrete buildings, river bridges, railway stations, trains… And it can be found all over the world. Street art comes in varying shapes and forms, from sculptures to"yarn bombing", and contains everything from graffiti fonts family to windows display and far more.

Progressions are documented series of photos where he plays fantastic mind games with the poor souls whose job it is to clean graffiti off the streets, using little more than stenciled letters.
Upon the Sighting of New Rendering charts Mobstr's ongoing battle with the authorities
7. Smug
Smug is Glasgow-based street artist who is expert in photo realistic graffiti. Thanks to a council-funded mural initiative this Scottish city has become his infinite canvas. The artist has developed a unique and mesmerizing style – rendered entirely freehand after picking up a spray painting can over a decade ago.

Mayo Clinic and Gentag, Inc. Announce Agreement To Develop Wireless Sensors for Treatment of Obesity and Diabetes
"Sweating the big stuff" – Gentag mentioned in September 19th print edition of The Economist
Welch Allyn and Gentag Wearable Medical Device Deal Announced
Posted on March 4, 2015 in News
ROCHESTER, Minn. — Mayo Clinic and Gentag, Inc. have reached an agreement to develop the next generation of wearable biosensors designed to fight obesity and diabetes.
"We are hoping that this technology will be game-changer. These patch biosensors may help us reduce global obesity and diabetes," says James Levine, M.D., Ph.D., a Mayo Clinic endocrinologist and obesity researcher. "They are accurate, inexpensive, and can be integrated into the care people receive."
A first-of-its-kind, the wearable patch sensors are the size of a small bandage, and are designed to be painless, wireless and disposable. In the bandage is a sensor that communicates via a closed-loop diabetes management system which is compatible with cell phones. The system will allow researchers to monitor movement and develop treatments for obesity and related conditions.
A joint intellectual property (IP) agreement with Mayo Clinic made the research and development of this tool possible. Gentag signed a patent pooling agreement with Mayo Clinic for the management of IP related to wearable patch sensor and wireless communication technologies. Under the agreement, certain patent rights and technologies of both Mayo Clinic and Gentag will be combined and commercialized.
The two firms will collaborate with third parties under license to bring Mayo Clinic's expertise in medicine and clinical practices to the public by the development of the next generation of wearable skin patch technologies from Gentag in the areas of diabetes and obesity management. More than 50 issued patents and technologies are being offered for licensing under the agreement.
"We are thrilled to be cooperating with the Mayo Clinic on these amazing new wireless technologies," says John P. Peeters, Ph.D., the CEO of Gentag. "We look forward to working with the medical device community to get this technology into the marketplace."
Additionally, Mayo's Micro-Miniature Transceiver chip will be combined with Gentag's radar-responsive tag technology and integrated under license to create a new type of communication chip that will combine Near Field Communication (NFC), Body Area Networks (BAN), as well as long-range wireless communication and geolocation.
Mayo Clinic is a nonprofit organization committed to medical research and education, and providing expert, whole-person care to everyone who needs healing. For more information, visit http://mayocl.in/1ohJTMS, or http://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/.
About Gentag
Gentag, Inc. is pioneering the use of disposable, ultrathin, wearable and immunoassay biosensors that can be read with NFC-enabled devices, which will make healthcare and consumer diagnostics more affordable and accessible to all worldwide. These products and services will revolutionize not only medical applications, but also location-based services and the detection of environmental threats in homes and workplaces. Gentag's first wireless sensor network patent was filed in 1997. All Gentag NFC patents are held by Altivera, LLC, a Maryland company operated by Gentag and owned by its shareholders.

Can they count Fred Nolan's death as the "final" person to die in the curse?
I've read a fair bit about Oak Island before this show. Never before had I heard about a curse. Like impossible to find treasure wasn't enough of a hook they had to spice up the drama with a curse.
Find a corner with some uneven stones. Look for a dent that resembles an arrow, a triangle, or some sort of cleft. If you still can't find one, MAKE one. Contact the show and say you've found evidence that the Knights Templar were in your "corner" of the world. Good for at least 1 episode.
This week the blatant misrepresentations were more annoying than usual. The guy did not say the stone was seen in 1982. He said the guy was a member of the Halifax Club until 1982 and he said he saw the stone. He did not say WHEN he say the stone. Also, really, they thought they would just walk in and see the stone sitting in the floor? With all the people looking for it all those years? If it were really in the Halifax Club someone would have mentioned it before now.
Then they trot out that poor lady for more filler. Half her family dies in the money pit and that just shows its importance. They HAVE to dig it up for her family. No they don't. They should realize that people died for this half baked story with no factual basis behind it. They should stop and think about what they are doing instead of damn the torpedoes full speed ahead.
If they just did more critical thinking I would be a lot happier.
I really like the Lagini brothers and the premise of the show. But when they showed the "1709" (is that the right number?) stone, I looked at Mr. AZC and said, "That looks like something someone had sitting at the end of their driveway to show the postman their house number."
I don't need to find a treasure. I'd be happy to have just the money they're spending on the hunt.
Unless maybe he didn't die on the island? I'm assuming he was probably off the island in a hospital or something otherwise it would have been a surprise to everyone in their little hut.
This last episode was borrrrrrrring. Let's get to digging!
When they show actual big serious equipment digging... is that just a teaser for NEXT season?
They've shown the serious equipment to us in snippets, since this season started. It made me excited that they're actually doing something now! I was thinking they were starting out with a bang and getting down to it! But, they keep showing us red herrings to keep us watching but not coming up with anything again. How many shows are in a season? The big serious digging is what I've been watching this show for since the beginning. BTW, I don't mean tearing up the island to do so. I mean strategic, precise, digging. I do like that the Lagina brothers are respectful of the environment.
YES! I thought the same thing! Someone spent an hour scratching the number into a rock. Could be from 300 yrs ago or 2 days ago. Either way they spend 20 minutes presenting it, pondering over it, doing a close up of it, reminiscing over those who have come before and are lost for it, all with hushed tones of reverence, of course. This show does a lot of filler.
If they find anything, Marty and Rick will dress up in Capt. Jack Sparrow garb and Knights Templar armor. Then, Steven Spielberg will helicopter land and want the rights to do the next Indiana Jones On Oak Island movie.
Marty Lagina has always reminded me of someone. I finally figured it out earlier.
He reminds me of Harold Ramis.
I imagine this season will end when the heavy drilling equipment reaches perhaps just a few feet from whatever their stated goal is-unless they are all tired of the show and just want to end it. Of course even if they drill down a mile and find nothing, there will be people who will claim they obviously are drilling in the wrong spot and the money pit has to be someplace else.
Personally I thought this weeks guest probably the best realist they have ever had on the show. I thought it as pretty clear she thought the person who followed her family pretty much wrecked havoc and it would be next to impossible find anything in the cove, if not on the island.
Despite the show's obvious faults (and there are many) I'm glad it's back and look forward to watching every week. In one of the promos they teased about actually finding something this season. I really hope that's true.
Two other areas mentioned on that map were "The Hole Under" and "The Valve". I'm surprised they didn't already give us their thoughts on what those could mean. A valve regulates something, like maybe water, so how about scout it out first?
Jiminey Crickets, would they stop with the "mysterious hatch?" Now it's possible that treasure was there once and was removed. Based on frigging what? Fairy dust and wishful thinking?
I bet if you go to any other house on the Island or nearby mainland that is over 100 years old you will find a similar "mysterious" hatch and perfectly square hole in the ground. It's called a damn root cellar.
Let's look at this logically. Which is the more likely explanation -- treasure vault or root cellar? Occams's razor, "think horses, not zebras" and a host of other philosphies say ..... root cellar.
But nope, these dopes are going "empty square hole, proof of buried treasure. it's gone though. but the fact it was removed proves there is treasure on the island."
At this point I'm watching to see if someone, anyone shows a lick of common sense.
But the Templar Knights would have had to have some place to store their food while they spent months/years digging the money pit. They could have easily made room for the treasure with the potatoes.
Marty needs to take off and wash his Mari Vinyards shirt. Any idea what they pay Histo to promote their product, and were they promoting as much in the past?
wait wait wait.... you spend millions of dollars to get this equipment and the moment you find a tiny amount of wood - YOU STOP!?!?! like how about you dig a little further and see if you get MORE wood?
Hi everyone, first post here. That was my thought too. They didn't have a plan for when they hit the vault? They stand there, panicking and wringing their hands because they haven't hit wood then as soon as they do they stop and walk away to think about it. All the while, they have to pay full wages on the equipment sitting there. I know it's scripted but there had to be a better story line than this!
Not to mention the tubes or whatever have already go down into the 'vault', if's actually there so why not at least pull up the stuff that's still in them??
These are people who in the very first season found a coin in the swamp. Haven't been back since. The ONE place they actually found something and they give up and walk away from it for years. It's their MO, spend 5 minutes on the theory of the week then move on. There is no plan other than -- look for treasure. There is no plan on where to look, how to look, anything. A more scientific approach might have yielded some actual evidence, or shown its all a hoax much sooner. Of course this a group who takes an empty hole as "proof" there is treasure.
I will suggest it's likely that any wood they are finding might be from Dunfield's work, put in to shore up the works. I did notice that the last couple of debris/sludge they showed being removed while they were looking for wood were very, very wet.
If that narrator doesnt stop questioning every little thing they find, I will not be responsible for my actions and can guarantee he won't have a very happy holiday season. He is getting on my last nerve!
Tell me about it. "A ....[insert object here] found on Oak Island? Could it be from [insert latest theory here]?" Although at least there is some action. But stop with the how scientific the current approach is compared to the Dunfield's work. First, Dunfield just ripped everything to hell and gone, that is a low bar. Second, jumping at every little theory someone brings you and running from site to site to dig is NOT scientific. You are just using bigger equipment than Dunfield that is all.
Ithat narrator ....is getting on my last nerve!
By the last 10 minutes he puts me to sleep, no matter what time of day I watch!
Of course Francis Bacon hid the original Shakespeare manuscripts on Oak Island. He would undertake a risky, dangerous voyage to Nova Scotia just to hide those things because clearly there are no hiding places in ALL of England. And then he refers to building a Utopia on a high point on a shore. Wow, must be Oak Island. You what else is an Island? ENGLAND.
They actually found some artifacts. Really cool ones too. Can't be just evidence of a British Encampment. Nope, has to be proof of a British Encampment that hid the treasure from the sack of Havana. Because of course a troop of soliders would go all the way from Cuba to Oak Island to hide the treasure. Did anyone do any research to see if there was a record of a British military encampment on the Island during the Seven Years War? Bet there was. Just like there were encampments all over Canada. Perfectly ordinary encampments not connected with treasure in any way shape of form. Then you could see if the troops stationed there had been anywhere else. You know actual evidence to build a theory on, not just the latest speculation that always leads ... TREASURE.
I am a fan of this show - really. But I think the only people who will/have hit the jackpot with millions of dollars from Oak Island are those who own the drilling company from which they rent that big equipment.
When they saw that 90 degree "cut" in the rock down in the chamber, I yelled "Knights Templar" at the TV and scared the crap out of my cat.
I just started watching this show during the Christmas week marathon. How do they suppose Captain Kidd - with a limited crew and 17th century technology been able to bury treasure that far down, under bedrock, with really intricate security measures?
May I just say for the record the statement that nature doesn't produce right angles is 100% BS. Lots things have right angles including salt and other crystals.. Let alone that '90 degree angle' they discovered in the 'cavern/sinkhole' wasn't even 90 degrees.
Also the most obvious reason for finding a George II coin and possible signs of a military camp would be a survey crew? If the government-which at that time would have been British was going to sell parcels, you have to have to have a survey to know the boundaries of those parcels. They would have been surveying Oak Island at the same time people would have George II change in their pockets.
Shakespeare's manuscripts would not have been as valuable during Francis Bacon's time because Bacon was contemporary to Shakespeare. The theory that Francis Bacon wrote Shakespeare's plays in a Victorian theory. How do they expect something like a manuscript to survive being submerged anyway? And if they are having to use modern heavy equipment to get down to depths of their bore holes--how did anyone else dig down that deep to bury it to begin with--and then leave very little trace of being there?
Did anyone else crack up at the look on the one guy's face when he was saying he'd rather have gold than manuscripts? He looked like he was trying not to laugh at the writer guy.
Enjoyed the 1/10 episode much more than most.
The diving is pretty interesting, and it contained a lot less "could it be?" stuff.
Also noticed Marty had a new shirt or two.
Now they are finally down there and send a diver who doesn't "see" anything through the murky water and Marty wants to give up before they've used the metal detector. Is this new skepticism show-driven for drama? They've tried everything else for drama.
I'm hoping they find something. I love a good adventure with a pay off.
Marty and Rick were wearing a red shirt and a green shirt. Made me wonder if this was supposed to be their Christmas episode. Snerk.
When Marty was saying, "Let's quit on 10-X," and Rick was saying, "I'm not ready to quit yet," I felt like the look on Marty's face was, "You're a retired postal worker and I'm running an active winery. Who's signing the checks?" Those who seem to be the bigger investors wanted to quit; those who are in it for the emotional factor want to stay.
I love this show, but I was with Marty on this one.
I took that conversation to mean, we'll go back in the future if we can find a new angle for drama.
I'm not sure what episode but I keep thinking about that rock. A long while back they had sonar showing that "rock or box or chest" on the bottom. Chatterton said he moved a "rock". They've done sonar scans after that. So where is the "rock" now? It showed up on the first scans. Chatterton did not bring it topside. So why aren't they finding the dang "rock" now?
They can't find it. they think they are in a different chamber than the one Chatterton was in. Because it can't be it was just a rock and it got covered in silt with all the work they are doing. Nope, the "object" has to have "mysteriously" disappeared.
Last night was just hilarious. We only have enough budget to look for the money pit or dig at 10X. We can only do one. Which one? Everyone wants to stay with 10X. One person wants to look for the money pit. Suddenly it's "Oh forget the budget, let's do both." But of course. Because all the expense is transporting equipment to the Island. You only have to pay workers for 5 minutes of work before they stop to do something else. So plenty of money to do everything else, really.
Would they please stop trotting out poor Dan Blankenship. You can tell the man is not up to this. Although 96 years old, over 50 years of digging, he's found nothing, yet he is STILL convinced there is treasure on that there Island. Delusion is a sad thing.
Notice that they didn't mention they are also allegedly working in the swamp as well. That hasn't been mentioned in a number of episodes. I too wish they would stop including Dan Blankenship-anyone who has spent 50 years searching for his personal El Dorado is not going to give a reasoned view about setting priorities.
On Gold Rush, one of the characters said 'the money is in the show, not the gold'.
This is reality TV, and I have no idea what the arrangement for expenses and appearances with Histo is, however I have heard the longer a show runs the more the characters get paid. Dan Blankenship may be 'ringing the register' every time he appears. Anyone have any concrete ideas about expenses and compensation?
I have LOOONG wanted to get my hot little hands on one of these reality show contracts. I've heard everything from thousands of dollars per show to "only expenses" being bandied about. I want to see it in writing.
Because, yeah, I totally believe Disco is footing the bill for all the heavy equipment and the "budget" discussion was solely from the dramaz.
I wonder if the contract includes a percentage of the treasure, if found.
My husband and I love to watch and laugh at this show. The fact that grown men would spend their time searching for something that, IMO, is NOT there just boggles our minds. Hate the damned announcer. This week they found some old wood and a bone. WOW! Can't wait to see what that's all about.
My son-in-law absolutely loves this program. My daughter even got him a copy of the original Readers Digest which had the article that caught the attention of the Lagina brothers when they were kids. I was interested it at first, but we now refer to it as the dunh-Dunh-DUNH show (spoken with fervor and in increasing volume at every commercial break).
Some people have too much money and too little common sense. And most of them now have their own reality TV shows.
However, the little "mini-teaser" that I saw last night looked interesting. dunh-Dunh-DUNH!!!!
Something interesting? ... on Oak Island????
Well, it's the most interesting thing I've seen in weeks.
Could it be ... the treasure of the templars/montezuma's treasure/spoils from the sack of Havana/pirate treasure/Marie Atoinette's jewels?
Or all of the above!!!!
At 10-X when they are using the pipeline to dredge the pit they find a 2-1/2" long bone. Only 1? Aren't we expecting to find the entire skeleton of the man who died and fell in the hole but couldn't be retrieved? Upon finding the bone, Marty says "what does this mean?". They were eating fried chicken and tossed the bone in the hole? Come on, Marty, you should be expecting to find the remains of one of the men.
When Rick is bulldozing in the swamp, he says "in this exercise we hope..." Strange choice of words "exercise". They hope to find a box drain, they are expecting to find a box drain, they stop bulldozing because they've finally found an actual plank of wood which is bigger than most we've seen here. They call Barkhouse to come see. He gets there, looks at it and says, "I'm baffled as to what that is". Another strange choice of words "baffled". They are more sure of themselves when presented with only legend, myth, and innuendo.
Last week it was hunting down Roosevelt's records because Oak Island held Marie Antoinette's jewels. Because "research is important." (Me to TV: Since WHEN????). This week some lady shows up and is all "nope, it's Templar Treasure" and they are back onto Templar Treasure. Pick.A.Theory. Any theory. Investigate just that theory. Follow just those clues, until it is clear there is no support for it. THen move to the next one. Not a theory a week.
Oh no, we found wood. "See anything like that before Mr. Blankenship?" "Nope, wood, not mine. It's old." First of all, it's a piece of freaking wood. How do you know it's not the wood you used as shoring before? Unless you got in and examined the grain, wood looks likes wood. But he just glances at it and dismisses it as his. Must be proof of treasure. After all it's old. Never mind it's so decayed from being submerged you have no clue how long it's been there. Mr. Blankenship is the most delusional of them all. 96 and still looking for the treasure. Because he can't admit he spent his adult life chasing a pipe dream.
I'm beginning to think that those tunnels lead directly into the vaults at Fort Knox. It's the only significant treasure that they HAVEN'T heard was buried on Oak Island.
I love these guys, but . . . really?

Blog Facebook Internet Marketing Social Media Tips
What gets played by 93 million people (mostly adults) every day and has an estimated net worth of $7.1 billion? If you answered "Candy Crush Saga," you are the lucky winner….sort of.
According to Time magazine, the simple app-based game is so addictive people have forgotten to pick up their kids at school because of playing it. While this might not be a resume-builder for the players, it sure has given its creator, the Sweden-based gaming company King Digital Entertainment, a big leg up.
No matter who you ask, Candy Crush Saga is delivering big wins all over the place. For marketers in particular, its allure centers around how the game lures players in via social media – and how other marketers can emulate its success.
The Candy Crush Saga 411
If you haven't yet played Candy Crush Saga, you might be scratching your head right about now. Sure, $7.1 billion sounds good to you. So does 93 million users, for that matter. But what is it and why do folks love it so much?
Here are some Candy Crush Saga stats:
Candy Crush Saga was released by King (Stockholm, Sweden) in 2012.
The game first launched on Facebook, where an estimated 1 in every 23 Facebook users now plays it.
The game is now also available for download to any mobile device via a free app.
Advancing to higher levels often requires in-app purchases.
The premise is simple – match up 3 different candy graphics and advance.
Its user base says they are "addicted" – one player was quoted as calling candy Crush Saga "crack candy."
If you're feeling impressed as you read, you're not alone. And if you are beginning to understand the rapt following the game has developed amongst marketers eager to replicate its success, keep reading!
Candy Crush Saga Dominates on Facebook
C andy Crush Saga is the first-ever app to be available simultaneously to iOS and Android users and also members of the largest social media network, Facebook.
And since Facebook is now larger than China, virtually speaking, this was certainly a big win for the free app-based game's creator!
Candy Crush Saga's presence on Facebook has generated as much negative as positive publicity – so much so that Facebook's founder, Mark Zuckerberg, was interviewed in 2015 about the overwhelming demand by his community's users for a way to block invites to play the addictive game in-network.
Meanwhile, for the estimated 500,000 people who daily access Facebook from their mobile devices, playing Candy Crush Saga from within Facebook offers two things they can't get by playing from the app alone:
They protect their progress in case the app crashes.
They can share their progress with their Facebook network.
And for Facebook, it is the social network's most-liked app (with 35+ million "likes" to date).
How Candy Crush Saga Uses Social Media to Keep Its Players Hooked
So here it is – the meat of the uber-popular game's global success. Candy Crush Saga has used the heck out of social media to propel it – and keep it – at the top of its game since its 2012 debut.
Candy Crush Saga links directly to a player's Paypal account, which makes in-app purchases literally effortless once the initial account link is established.
Candy Crush Saga's mobile app can also be linked to a player's Facebook account, making it possible to join in with a wider network of enthusiastic and competitive players.
Candy Crush Saga debuted on Facebook, the world leader for social media, where today it is every bit as popular with the network's 84.2 percent of international users as it is for those in North America.
Candy Crush Saga issues automatic prompts to each player to share their progress with their social networks.
Candy Crush Saga's developers also use social media feedback from its players on an ongoing basis to make adjustments and refinements to the game. This includes recent additions to simplify the difficulty of certain higher levels and the addition of a Booster Wheel feature to help players get past roadblocks on certain levels, which has been very successful in luring departed players back to the game.
Candy Crush Saga is constantly creating and launching new, higher levels of the game to entice players to keep playing. On average, a new level is released every two weeks – and, of course, the release is promoted via social media.
Candy Crush Saga rewards its players for their loyalty in many ways, not the least of which has been eliminating all in-app ads once revenues from in-app purchases made this possible.
One way to avoid having to pay to advance is to ask social network friends for help – keeping the social feature of playing Candy Crush Saga prominent.
Use Candy Crush Saga's Example to Promote Your Business
Candy Crush Saga itself is not nearly as unique as its success. This means there are some key learning points that every savvy marketing professional can use to positive effect.
Collaboration Is King. Candy Crush Saga emerged right out of the shoot partnered up with the giant of social media networks, Facebook.
Connection Is Key. Candy Crush Saga's focus on sharing successes, asking for help and inviting others have garnered it loyal fans and new players worldwide.
People Will Pay More When It Is Optional. Candy Crush Saga is still free to play. There is a loophole to paying for players willing to ask friends for help. Paying is totally optional….which is likely why revenues from the game are still the 4th highest of all gaming-based apps.
Candy Crush Saga is a true rare long-term success story in an industry known only for producing here-today-gone-tomorrow fads. Happily for other marketers, even its most brilliant tactics are ultimately simple – collaborate, connect and have fun!
