There are three main causes of joint paint: inflammation (arthritis is the most well-known version), injuries and aging, and insufficient activity. There are effective natural remedies for all three of these causes of joint pain. Combining these natural joint pain cures will not only help you move through the world easier, but also make you healthier in general.
Arthritis causes millions of people to live with agonizing pain and discomfort every day. The root cause of arthritis is inflammation. And inflammation is so serious that many health experts now believe that it is the root cause of almost all disease. How do you protect yourself from an enemy with so many faces, one that can take an enormous toll on your health? Inflammation is your body's first line of defense against infections. You've seen inflammation firsthand. Remember the last time you cut your finger? The swollen, red area around the cut is inflammation at work, fighting off potentially dangerous bacteria and other invaders. In small doses, inflammation is a lifesaver. In simple cases, inflammation solves a problem and goes away, as it should. But what if it lingers? Chronic, whole-body inflammation is an all-too-common condition these days. Instead of a red, swollen fingertip, your entire body simmers quietly, like a slow cooker, as inflammation damages cells and tissue. But this type of inflammation is invisible. You aren't aware of the damage it's doing until you're diagnosed with a terrible disease or your joints flame up.
proteoglycans to draw water into the joint and hold it there, and collagen, a protein that keeps the proteoglycans where they belong.
When your muscles are inactive for long stretches, what happens is not pretty. Metabolism slows, muscles weaken, the body's response to insulin falters, free-radical damage increases, and the important functions required for cell repair slow down. We can't see any of this, of course, but it is happening. Eventually, changes like these lead to heart disease, diabetes, and a host of other health complications. Here's one quick example: An eight-year-long study of more than 240,000 healthy adults found that those who spent seven hours a day watching television were among those most likely to die prematurely, even if they exercised an hour each day. Not surprisingly, those who watched the least amount of TV (less than an hour a day) had the lowest risk of dying. Time spent watching television is simply a marker for sedentary behavior, so it's reasonable to assume that any kind of prolonged sitting — whether you're watching TV, reading, talking on the phone, or working at the computer — is equally damaging to health.
Aspirin, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen—the most popular of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)—are so widely available that we don't think of them as dangerous drugs. But they are. And the side effects of over-the-counter and prescription painkillers are not pretty. Every year, complications from NSAIDs send thousands of people to the hospital. Even worse, approximately 6,000 people die from these drugs annually. They are especially dangerous for anyone who drinks alcohol, because the combination of painkillers and alcohol can cause serious liver damage. And studies show that the risk of dying from any cause is almost 90 percent higher among people using opioids than for individuals using NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) for pain relief. With some of these medications, only two pills–yes, just two!–could cause a fatal overdose, or land you in the emergency room, along with half a million other patients every year. And fatalities aren't the only downside. Patients on opioids are nearly five times more likely to break a hip, wrist, arm, or pelvis when compared to those on ibuprofen, according to a recent study of nearly 13,000 arthritis sufferers. Sadly, that's not all. The same study found that patients taking opioids were more than twice as likely to suffer a heart attack as those using NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), like ibuprofen and acetaminophen, for pain relief. In addition, these drugs depress your immune system, making you vulnerable to all sorts of infections.
Surgery, also, should be thought of as a last resort. Surgery always comes with risk. Potentially fatal infection is a big one. And the chance of having complications is higher if you also have diabetes or a history of heart trouble. That's why it's important, before any surgery, to ask how high your personal risk is. And you have to weigh that against the benefit. When it comes to joint replacement surgery, the risk is usually higher than the reward can justify. That's because about 95% of the cases I see can be solved without surgery. In fact, off the top of my head, I can only recall one patient who truly needed surgery. There's also the fact that, though we don't think of it this way, joint replacement is a temporary fix. Most replacement joints have a shelf-life of around 20 years—but sometimes much less. If you're having surgery at 59, you're most likely going to have to go through the whole process again, at a more advanced age. I recommend you use these natural joint pain remedies instead.
Curcumin fixes joint pain and inflammation. Several studies have shown that curcumin works as well as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) when it comes to easing the nagging joint pain that so many people experience as they grow older. It's the best natural anti-inflammatory that I know. I recommend taking 500 milligrams of a high bioavailability curcumin to everyone. Take it up to three times daily if you need more support.
The standard American diet features an unhealthy ratio of inflammatory omega 6 essential fatty acids to anti-inflammatory omega 3 essential fatty acids. In a healthy diet, you're looking at a 1:1 ratio, but many Americans have a 20:1 ratio, because of the large number of processed foods we eat and common cooking oils, like safflower and canola, that we use. I recommend everyone take 3 doses of 1000 mg of an omega-3 supplement every day. Not only will it help with your joint pain, it has important benefits for heart, brain, and emotional health.
UC-II stands for undenatured type II collagen. Although UC-II is a relatively new kid on the pain-relief block, a series of recent studies show that it is more powerful than glucosamine and chondroitin for relief from arthritis pain, both rheumatoid and osteoarthritis. Perhaps most impressively, it actually helps build cartilage. UC-II also has an impressive safety profile. A standard dose is about 40 mg per day.
Vitamin D is another supplement that may be helpful in treating joint pain, but I do recommend that you have your vitamin D levels checked by your physician first to get a better idea of an appropriate dosage. If you are low on vitamin D, that deficiency could cause a wide range of health problems. So supplements, which are inexpensive, are highly recommended. Capsaicin, a substance found in cayenne peppers, actually prevents nerve endings from transmitting pain signals. You use a lotion or cream directly on the painful area to block pain signals. The effect is temporary, but you can repeat applications as needed, as long as you follow the product instructions. Boswellia (also known as Indian Frankincense) is an herbal extract that can alleviate inflammation related to arthritis. It also has been shown to improve pain and function within as little as five days of use. MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is a naturally occurring sulfur compound and a component of connective tissue. Studies reveal that it can improve pain, mobility, and inflammation—with even stronger benefits if taken along with glucosamine.
dairy products or gluten may also contribute to aching joints. Again, a food diary can help you pinpoint the source of your discomfort. Pain and inflammation can also be part of an allergic reaction, so even if you're triggered by something uncommon, a food diary can help you figure out what.
Collagen is 80% water. Make sure you're drinking enough. I recommend one ounce of water for every two pounds you weigh, so a 100 pound woman should drink 50 ounces of water daily. Ginger is closely related to turmeric, the spice which is the source of curcumin. Adding ginger as a spice to meals and drinking it as an herbal tea may be a good idea. Research indicates that green tea improves the cholesterol profile, reduces the risk of colon and prostate cancers, and helps with weight management. A recent study focusing on the green tea extract known as epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) shows that EGCG reduces pain-causing inflammation. However, the whole substance contains a host of beneficial compounds, so I recommend drinking 4-5 cups daily. Fish and fatty seafood are a natural source of omega 3 oils. However, don't eat it more than twice a week, because of potential mercury and nuclear contamination. And if you're buying canned fish, make sure they're packed in water or heart healthy olive oil, not omega 6 laden vegetable or soybean oil.
Weight-bearing exercise to strengthen the muscles around your problematic joints is highly recommended. Weights doesn't have to mean going into a gym and shoving around fifty pound barbells. Adding a couple of ankle or wrist weights while you walk around the neighborhood, or doing exercises that use your own body for weight are good places to start. If you're worried about falls, consider chair exercises or swimming in a pool. Many community pools also have exercise classes, where the water pressure acts as both a weight and a cushion. Don't forget to get up and move throughout the day. This can be as easy as taking a dance break while commercials are playing on the tv, or strolling around the hallway while you're on a phone call. The idea is that after 20-30 minutes of sitting, you should get up and move around for five minutes. Walk down the hall, get a glass of water, do a few jumping jacks, whatever it takes to get the metabolism revved up a bit.
Therapeutic touch has a lot of benefits. In addition to directly treating the source of your pain, it also helps to reduce your stress levels. Stress can increase your sensitivity to pain, so this is a double-solution.
Extra weight increases pressure on your joints. In order to lose weight, you have to eat fewer calories. Start by eating more whole fruits and vegetables and less of everything else. When you're ready to completely overhaul the way you prepare and eat food, look into a Mediterranean style diet, which is delicious and healthy. Lots of fruits and vegetables, some nuts and fish, and the occasional piece of red meat, cheese, or sugar-y dessert.
Most joint pain is caused by a combination of aging and injury, inflammation, and insufficient exercise. Use natural remedies to repair the damage caused by all three, and you are well on your way to thoughtlessly dancing, carelessly running, and joyfully walking anywhere you want. Thrive in health and wellness.


Characters! Campus! Classroom at sea! Where to begin?
First, we had to get a sense of what kids would want. Through testing with our Nat Geo Kids focus groups, we found that kids DID want art, but not too much, so we had to find the right balance.
Originally, we had planned for more art in Explorer Academy and bigger, more colorful spread openers. We wanted to do something dramatically different and very visual to make these books stand out in the fiction world. However, we started to realize that the more times we showed the characters, the less the kids could imagine those characters and places for themselves. Eventually we tested both versions (more art; less art) and let them choose! They all really liked seeing more art, but in their comments expressed a desire to let their imaginations do a little more of the heavy lifting. So, we scaled back on the degree of detail we showed and the number of illustrations. In the end, I actually prefer the design that is a bit more abstract and visually cleaner. Thanks, kids!
Of course, a big part of the fun was working with the author to determine what key moments in the book to illustrate. One of the cool things about the series is the codebreaking element, so certain scenes required hidden clues for kids to discover. The talent search to make it all happen led us to discover two accomplished illustrators: Scott Plumbe, who did all the interior art and Antonio Javier Caparo, who produced the cover art.
When I was first thinking of what the art could be for Explorer Academy, I wanted to make sure that we didn't forget about National Geographic's incredible history of beautiful photography and kids' love of seeing real places and animals. So, I decided to combine photography and illustration to ground some of the imagery in our usual nonfiction world but with the fictionalized setting overlay. For example, when Cruz and Emmett are virtually charged by wildebeests in chapter six, I couldn't help but think of the photos by Anup Shah (anupshah.com) and how amazing they are. You are caught up in the action as if you were at the feet of the next wildebeest in the stampede. We really thought kids would find this hybrid style compelling. I'm grateful to the photographers for allowing us to insert our characters into their photography.
With Explorer Academy's venture into fiction, it's been fun to go outside the (yellow) box and push our creative boundaries. But the message of this series remains true to the real-world mission of our 130-year-old brand: to inspire people of all ages to explore and protect the planet and make the world a better place.
We'd love to hear from readers! If you could request a painting of any Explorer Academy character, location, or scene what would it be? Reply to this blog or email us at exploreracademy@natgeo.com.
This looks really cool. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

A Language Passport
A Language Passport Will Open Doors of Understanding and Opportunity
As part of our aim to create an environment of understanding, tolerance and opportunity, we have partnered with three language schools, each offering a unique set of expertise and experience. One of those partners is now based at The Coach House and is working with our Academic Council to address language needs in the College. Jenny Kerchhoff, who heads the KZN Language Institute, is engaged with us on a research project on multilingualism and language awareness:
"The KZN Language Institute became independent from the UKZN in 2013, after 13 years of supporting foreign and local students with language development. We offer the development of both proficiency and academic skills in English as well as other languages, such as isiZulu and Sign Language. All the teachers have TEFL qualifications (Teaching English as a Foreign Language).
Together with St Charles College, we have initiated an English Immersion programme for school children who are in need of English assistance – which is new since we previously worked only with adults. Boys from foreign countries, or whose first language is not English, are able to come to St Charles College and through the English Immersion programme, can adapt to academic instruction and social connection in English.
We are also excited to be involved in a research programme with St Charles College, investigating the power of multilingualism and language awareness. We have identified that language is a powerful force for building an appreciation of other people and the differences they add to make life a rich experience. It is our understanding that language and culture are linked – we can't help but understand people better if we learn their language.
The approach to language learning is research based and focuses on a production style of learning where confidence is built up through testing for success, in much the same way that children learn their mother tongue.
The KZN Language Institute's focus on an incremental exposure to several languages, this dovetails with other language partners like Dante Allegheiri, which is well-resourced to offer formal language lessons leading towards international language qualifications (including Cambridge). Initially the focus is on Afrikaans, isiZulu, French, German and Spanish.
We have begun in three places in the Primary School and each year a new layer will be added. We are working towards a language passport to give our boys local and international confidence to engage with the rest of the world.
We would love to network and connect with people who may have any queries regarding language."

The language immersion is really advantageous to the children in this period when they cannot predict where they will live in future as the grass may be greener on another continent.
Congratulations to SCC for this wonderful programme. I will like to suggest that the school should make it mandatory for the learners to take one or two of the language and intimate them of the benefits accruing to them for being part of the programme.
This is the reason I encouraged my son to take French as a subject in SCC.
Bravo SCC!

NPM No. 011-2017
Requesting Entity: Department of Budget and Management – Procurement Service (DBM-PS)
Issues Concern: Mandatory Nature of Periods
Opinion on the legal implications of DBM-PS taking over a procurement project from the Department of Transportation (DoTR) and continuing with the proceedings despite the lapse of the three (3) month period provided for under Section 38 of Republic Act (RA) No. 9184 and its 2016 revised Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR).
The mandatory nature of the periods under RA 9184 was likewise recognized by the Honorable Supreme Court in the case of Jacomille v. Abaya, et al., where it was held that "[t]he different periods provided by RA 9184 within which certain stages of the procurement process must be completed is not merely directory but mandatory."
Nonetheless, Section 65.1(b) of RA 9184 and its 2016 Revised IRR provide that awarding of contracts beyond the prescribed period of action may be recognized for justifiable causes.
Based on the foregoing, should the Procuring Entity decide to extend the periods on procurement, it must show and provide compelling, sufficient, valid, reasonable, and justifiable cause for such extension. Such valid justification, however, will only free officials from penal liability, and may not be applicable against the administrative and civil aspects of the case pursuant to existing laws, rules and regulations.

So ugly Christmas sweaters are kind of a thing right now. Everyone throws an ugly Christmas sweater party and you can find the perfect ugly sweater in almost any store. Last week, I was looking for such sweater to wear to a Christmas party and instead of finding one that was legitimately ugly, I found one that I ended up really liking. I figured that if I'm going to spend money on a sweater, I might as well like it, right? I found my sweater at Wal-Mart of all places. I absolutely hate going in there and haven't bought a single item of clothing there since about 2005, but Christmas sweaters aren't cheap, and they had good deals and surprisingly cute options. I would definitely recommend checking there if you're in the market.
Since my sweater has a lot going on, I decided that pairing it with black jeans, boots, and simple layered necklaces was the way to go (side note, I didn't realize one of my necklaces was under my sweater until after the picture taking process, so darn). I think it would also be cute to layer it over a chambray button down, so I might try that sometime. I've already worn it twice, and it will most likely be making an appearance on Christmas Eve. You can only wear a Christmas sweater so long, you know.
If you're looking for a cute sweater that can be worn more than the one time you go to an ugly Christmas sweater party, here are some good options.
Oh, and I've typed the word "sweater" so many times that it doesn't even look like a real word anymore, so there's that.
I hate when accessories hide or flip or do something else other than what you want them to do when you're shooting an outfit.lol But you still look cute! That sweater is adorable and it looks great how you styled it!
Cute sweater! I cannot believe you found it at Wal-mart. I can totally see it with chambray, as you mentioned, or a plaid shirt with a skirt and boots. Haha – don't you just hate it when you find out later your jewelry was all askew or tucked in?!
Oh I love the idea of wearing it with a plaid skirt! Thanks!
I TOTALLY love the Christmas sweater! Just the right amount of holly jolly to be festive and fun. I like the gray and red color combo too!
Thanks so much! I thought it was just festive enough without being tacky.
I guess they can come through every now and then. I don't think I was impressed enough to buy other clothes there, but I would definitely check back for Christmas things!
I love this sweater. It's adorable! I love how you styled it!
Thanks! It's fun having a festive sweater to wear!
Your sweater is very cute! I like that you paired it with black pants.
Alli, you look so cute in your Christmas sweater!! Back in the day we thought what are now called Ugly Christmas sweaters were very on point!! Times change!!
Thank you! And yes, fashions do change!

WaiBOP Football Rules I
A game of football is played according to internationally agreed rules, also known as the laws of the game. There are two teams, each consisting of 11 players, that compete against each other to get the ball in the other team's goal, which counts as one point or goal. The standard for the ball that is used for the game is usually 68-70 cm in circumference. At the end of the game, the team that scored more goals is the winner of the match. If the number of goals is equal, then the game is considered a draw. One of the main rules of the game is that the players may not touch the ball with their arms and hands, except the goalkeeper.
WaiBOP Football Rules II
The players may use other body parts though, usually the forehead. During normal play, the players are allowed to move the ball in any direction on the field except they may not pass to players who are in offside. The attacking team's objective is to score a goal. The players can go about this controlling the ball and where it goes, by passing it to a teammate, dribbling and taking shots at the opposite's team goal, which is guarded by that team's goalkeeper. On the other side, the players from the second team may try to gain control of the ball from their opponents by intercepting an attempted pass or through directly taking the ball from the player. All of this should be done without players making physical contact with each other.

Over the last year we have developed an important partnership with St George's Baptist Church. Pastor Tony Tognieri has made an important contribution to the Academy, supporting lessons, our enrichment programmes and extra curricular activities. Tony has provided invaluable support to students of all faiths and none, and we look forward to his role developing over the coming years.


We may currently be loving IKEA's PS 2017 collection (which is especially made for our wanderlust lifestyle), as well as the festive swag-filled Spridd collection, but when it comes to the best of the best from the Swedish retailer, it turns out that it might be one of their classic old-school items that takes the top spot.
Marcus Engman started working at IKEA when he was just 16 years old and has spent his entire career with the company, now acting as their design manager, which means he knows a thing or two about the store's products. Chatting with Business Insider, he revealed what he feels is the BEST IKEA design ever, and his answer might surprise you.
According to Marcus, the piece that takes the top spot is the Klippan loveseat. Ranging in price from $250 to $300, it's an affordable option that's also an investment piece, suiting various styles and spaces. (It also happened to be designed by Engman's own father, Lars, back in the '70s).
"I remember when he brought it home for tests, and he asked me and my sister what we thought of it. I have a lot of fond memories with that sofa, and I'm glad that it has survived for so long." As for why he thinks it's been so popular for so many years, Marcus says it's simple: "You can change its color and live with it for a long time." Works for us!

Mothers day. A day when we reflect how fortunate we have been and show our Mothers how much they mean to us. To celebrate Mother's Day I am going to feature some images of the Mother's that I have been privileged to capture recently. If any of these Mothers featured here contact me before Mothers day they will receive their featured image as a shelf print valued at $55. I hope you enjoy seeing these moments as much as I have had taking them.

The Room Escape concept is also educational valuable. There are some components in the game which are also found in everyday school life. Working together as a team is crucial to be successful. Working under time pressure is also known from school, as well as solving tasks in stress situations and logical-creative thinking are in demand.
The students are not entirely on their own. The games are watched and the gamemasters can help, if a clue is needed. Learning is done playfully. Above all, a game at Open The Door offers fun and generates a common experience that promotes cohesion and is not forgotten so quickly. Our staff also has educational experience with children and young people and is happy to look after the larger groups.


Rapper Cardi B quit Twitter to escape the "disgusting" hoards of haters who were bugging her on the micro-blogging app.
The Bodak Yellow hitmaker was social media silent for over a month before returning to Twitter on Sunday, and on Tuesday the star finally revealed why she took a temporary tweet break.
"People are so negative and disgusting here," she wrote. "I had to log off, to much negativity is not good for the soul."
"I have a lot of people praying on my downfall," she added. "THEY GOING TO FEEL ME FIRST!!! ....KNOCK ME DOWN 9 times but i get up 10!!!"
But Cardi appreciates those who are kind to her, noting: "I love my fans sooo much."
In her weekend return to Twitter, the beauty told fans she has left her native New York City to work out of state on her highly anticipated debut album.
"Working, working, working... Album coming," she tweeted.
"My man getting me some chick fil A at this time means Soo much to me then any jewelry he ever got me," she gushed, before admitting she is more homesick than she thought possible: "I haven't been to New York in a MONTH!!"

Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Psychoeducation Programme for Asylum Seekers and Refugees in Hong Kong – SoCUBE | CUHK Social Innovation

Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Psychoeducation Programme for Asylum Seekers and Refugees in Hong Kong
Seldom are we aware of the asylum seekers and refugees living among us, much less their psychological needs. The team is empowering these individuals via a self-help programme.
Back to Funded Projects
Launch Date | April 2019
Funding Year | 2018/19
Supported by | KPF
Since 2017, around 14000 asylum seekers and refugees (mainly from South Asia) are waiting for settlement, appeal or deportation following their failed application for a refugee status in Hong Kong. They have limited rights and live far below the poverty line while waiting for their long-drawn-out asylum applications to be processed, by a system producing a near-zero recognition rate. Trapped and marginalised, many of them suffer from psychological issues, not to mention persisting psychological distress from fleeing war or other life-threatening events. This explains their higher rate of offending behaviour, which further aggravates discrimination. Catering to their mental health needs begs urgent attention. Several NGOs have been offering counselling services, but it may not be the most effective means in the long run.
The team is introducing to its NGO partners a psychoeducation programme targeting trauma-exposed adults. The programme has proven to improve post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, depression and anxiety over time. NGO staff members are trained to deliver this self-help programme, which educates asylum seekers and refugees about common psychological responses to traumatic events and normalising their current responses; breathing retraining for anxiety; skills in reducing fear and avoidance, as well as regulating distressing thoughts and negative emotions. Each training session lasts for two full days. Participants are equipped to help themselves instead of relying on psychologists of limited availability and accessibility to them.
Asylum seekers and refugees in Hong Kong are empowered with confidence and independence to manage their own distress, instead of feeling helpless and powerless. An improvement in their mental health thus reduction in offending behaviour will benefit the society as a whole. Participating charitable organisations can further strengthen their humanitarian programmes with the incorporation of therapeutic elements and provide better services to asylum seekers and refugees in the long run.
The team envisions the programme becoming an in-house training for more relevant NGOs, while further developing the programme to be adaptable in the Asia Pacific region, made available via an internet-based intervention.

Who wants to get absolutely filthy, conquer a few dozen obstacles and run a total of twelve miles in wet socks? Now who wants to do it at altitude while competing with thousands of others?
Ryan, my brother, and some friends recently completed the Spartan Beast at Soldier Hill in the mountains of Utah. The six of them paid for the privilege of going through this grueling form of torture, and for some of them it was even a repeat experience. I tagged along to see what it was all about and managed to take a few pictures along the way.
Soldier's Hollow was a beautiful spot to hold Utah's Spartan Beast.
The first Spartan race was held in Williston, Vermont at the Catamount Outdoor Center in 2010. There were about 15-20 obstacles and about 500 people participated. The world championship is still held in Vermont and is one of the most anticipated races of the year. Spartan Race has become one of the biggest race brands in the country with over 65 Spartan races being hosted worldwide in 2014.
Spartan races vary in length from 3+ miles (the Spartan Sprint) to 26+ miles (the Ultra Beast) with the Super Spartan (8+ miles) and the Spartan Beast (12+ miles) falling in the middle. No matter what length you run or where you place, you earn a medal just for completing the race. You can even earn a Trifecta medal by completing a Spring, Super and Beast in a single calendar year.
The rope climb is considered the hardest obstacle to complete at a Spartan event.
An estimated one-third of participants travel in from outside the area, with more making the trek out to Vermont for the championships. The Trifecta weekend in Hawaii also draws in a larger percentage of travelers.
Obstacles include multiple wall climbs, mud crawls under barbed wire, pushes, pulls, hoists and even a spear throw. The hardest obstacle for most tends to be the rope climb, which there were two of at the recent Beast.
The Spartan Beast at Soldier Hollow that my brother just ran attracted an estimated 6,700 people. 90% of them completed a total of 29 obstacles and covered just over 12 miles, including 6,000 feet of elevation.
Spartan's bucket carry involves filling a bucket with rocks and carrying it up a hill and back.
The winner of the day was an elite athlete who finished the entire course in an hour and forty-one minutes. To put that in perspective, it took my brother's group a about six-and-a-half hours to finish.
After watching Ryan and friends complete the race, I can sort of see the appeal. Who wouldn't want to act like a big kid and complete all those obstacles? Other parts, however, I'm not sure I'd be able to get over, such as running almost half a marathon in wet socks.
Have you ever run in one of these kinds of races? Would you sign up for a Spartan Event?
In Ryan's group there were three couples that ran the race. Ryan and Maria, Jason and Jinyi, and Rachael and Mike. This was Ryan's X race but Maria's first. Jason and Jinyi had done one race before, a "sprint" in Malibu last year. This was also Rachael's first time doing any kind of Spartan race while her husband, Mike, had previously completed two beasts.
One competitor's shoes after exiting one of the muddy obstacles.
1) Why do you do Spartan?
The cargo net obstacle was done over one of the muddier pits of the whole course.
The tire pull obstacle involves dragging a tire until the rope is taught and then dragging it back to the start.
When you can't complete an obstacle during a Spartan race, you have to compensate by completing 30 Burpees (pushup + jump = 1 burpee).
3) What is the hardest obstacle for you?
4) Would you ever travel to Vermont for the Ultra Beast?
A long mud crawl under barbed wire is the last major obstacle of most Spartan races.
5) What else along these lines do you want to do?
Spartan participants after finishing the 12 mile ordeal.
6) what's your favorite and least favorite part/aspect of the race?
An hour and 41 minutes? Holy cow! I have to say I'd thought perhaps I would be up for something like this until you mention the soggy socks. There's just nothing worse than mud squelching between toes!! Hat's off to all the crew, well done guys!
See, that's what I'm saying! 6-7 hours in wet socks doesn't seem like something I'd want to sign up for, but who knows. Maybe he'll convince me to do it with him at some point.
Bah! I'm sure if you had a few friends going they might convince you to do it with them.
Yeah, everything went very smoothly. How was warrior dash?
This loks awesome. There is a similar competition in the UK called Tough Guy. I have been to much of a chicken so far to take part though.
I want to go for it at some point just to complete it, but probably not anytime too soon. What's tough guy like?
This sounds like…torture! Lol! I can't imagine myself doing something like this, but it does seem that the participants really enjoy it. Maybe if I were in tip top shape I'd feel differently, but somehow I doubt it!
I think this is actually one of the motivating reasons to get in tip top shape :) At least, this is what I saw happen with some of the participants pre-race.
Thanks for the comment Alysia!
Fantastic. I just saw a commercial for a race coming up that NBC Sports will be showing on cable. Love this!
They're showing a full Spartan? Do you know when and which one?

Q: Finding Multiple Solutions to "8 Queens" Some of you computer science, mathematic, etc... .majors might have experience with this problem. It is famously known as the 8 Queens. Essentially, how many different ways can you place 8 queens on an 8x8 chess board so that none of them conflict (aka diagonally or horizontally). I attempted this problem below, but my program only prints out a single solution.
I imagine I need a counter. I am not sure how to continue, and do not have much of a background in algorithms. Any assistance is greatly appreciated, thank you for spending your time to help.
var n = 8;

solveNQ();

function printSolution(board){
  for(var i=0; i<n; i++){
    for(var j=0; j<n; j++){
      document.write(" "+board[i][j]+" ");
    }
    document.write("
");
  }
  document.write("
");
}

function isSafe(board, row, col){

  // Checks the ← direction
  for(var i=0; i<col; i++){
    if (board[row][i] === 1) {
      return false;
    }
  }

  // Checks the ↖ direction
  for(var i=row, j=col; i>=0 && j>=0; i--, j--){
    if (board[i][j] === 1) {
      return false;
    }
  }

  // Checks the ↙ direction
  for(var i=row, j=col; j>=0 && i<n; i++, j--){
    if (board[i][j] === 1){
      return false;
    }
  }

  return true;
}

function recurseNQ(board, col){
  if(col>=n){
    return true;
  }

  for(var i=0; i<n; i++){
    if(isSafe(board, i, col)){
      board[i][col]=1;

      if(recurseNQ(board, col+1)===true)
        return true;

      board[i][col]=0;
    }
  }
  return false;
}

function solveNQ(){
  var board = generateBoard(n);
  if(recurseNQ(board, 0)===false){
    console.log("No solution found");
    return false;
  }
  printSolution(board);
}

function generateBoard(n){
  var board=[];
  for(var i=0; i<n; i++){
    board[i]=[];
    for(var j=0; j<n; j++){
      board[i][j]=0;
    }
  }
  return board;
}

A: You just don't have to return from recurseNQ when solution found. Also print solution each time col equals to 8. Code with slight modifications below. The code produces 92 valid solutions which should be the case
var n = 8;

solveNQ();

function printSolution(board){
  for(var i=0; i<n; i++){
    for(var j=0; j<n; j++){
      document.write(" "+board[i][j]+" ");
    }
    document.write("
");
  }
  document.write("
");
}

function isSafe(board, row, col){

  // Checks the ← direction
  for(var i=0; i<col; i++){
    if (board[row][i] === 1) {
      return false;
    }
  }

  // Checks the ↖ direction
  for(var i=row, j=col; i>=0 && j>=0; i--, j--){
    if (board[i][j] === 1) {
      return false;
    }
  }

  // Checks the ↙ direction
  for(var i=row, j=col; j>=0 && i<n; i++, j--){
    if (board[i][j] === 1){
      return false;
    }
  }

  return true;
}

function recurseNQ(board, col){
  if(col===n){
      printSolution(board); // <-- print another solution when n==8
    return;
  }

  for(var i=0; i<n; i++){
    if(isSafe(board, i, col)){
      board[i][col]=1;

      recurseNQ(board, col+1);
      //if(recurseNQ(board, col+1)===true) //<-- you don't need this
          // return true;

      board[i][col]=0;
    }
  }
  return false;
}

function solveNQ(){
  var board = generateBoard(n);
  recurseNQ(board, 0);
  //if(recurseNQ(board, 0)===false){
    //console.log("No solution found");
   // return false;
 // }
 // printSolution(board);
}

function generateBoard(n){
  var board=[];
  for(var i=0; i<n; i++){
    board[i]=[];
    for(var j=0; j<n; j++){
      board[i][j]=0;
    }

  return board;

With maintenance cuts and continuous challenges for young people, could apprenticeships change your world, as well as the wider one around you?
When the time comes to decide your future, students usually either choose University (alongside a lifetime of debt) or immediately venture into the working world (which has its challenges).
The Budget 2015 has seen university maintenance grants abolished, leaving more students with more debt to manage, or unable to afford a degree at all. And starting out without experience can be a long and hard slog, to get where you want to be. So could it be that this is the time for apprenticeships to shine?
When choosing where to work, charities are not always the obvious place to look. This is because "charity work" often comes with the assumption of volunteer work rather than an office-based position, or an active role in the wider community, where they gain real-life work experience ad skills.
In 2013/14, there were 440,000 apprenticeship starts in England, 70,000 fewer than the year before, which is the lowest since the initiative was launched. This may be because of the alleged myth that they are not regarded as highly as a university degree by employers and within society. However, they are just as significant and it is important that we change this stereotype and welcome them onboard to change the world.
ActionAid UK, Plan UK and Christian Aid are all examples of International charities that have joined forces to produce an apprenticeship scheme that will help young people gain entry to the international development sector. These companies will be recruiting seven individuals, who will attend the 12 months Business Administration Apprenticeship Scheme and will be paid an hourly rate of £8.80.
Richard Miller (Executive Director of ActionAid) specified that he wants to be an "ethical employer" and wants to have a "positive effect" on those living in poverty, as well as the lowest-paid Londoners. He went on to add that this apprenticeship scheme would allow the younger generation, including those without university qualifications, to gain entry into this inspiring sector.
By recruiting apprenticeships from different backgrounds, Miller believes it will create more entry routes into the organisation. It will also give the individuals the opportunity "to earn while they learn" in the working environment, gaining skills and qualifications for their future and the future of others.
Tanya Barron, Chief Executive of Plan UK, thinks that the programme is seen as another way to encourage young people and agrees that it will help to achieve a "more diverse workforce, attracting young people from different backgrounds" and help provide to those who do not have university as an option financially.
It goes without saying that working with charities as part of an apprenticeship comes with a number of benefits for the apprentices themselves. Not only is it rewarding and worthwhile to know you're doing good (it certainly helps you get up in the morning), it is an opportunity to gain experience and skills in a professional, working environment.
And those aren't the only benefits. It gives those who, for any reason, didn't attend university to be given as good of a chance in the working world as those who have a degree. According to a survey on notgoingtouni.co.uk. only 8% of the respondents who undertook an apprenticeship wished they had completed a university degree, whilst 33% of graduates wished they'd gone down the apprenticeship route.
And what about the other end of the scale? Believe it or not, there are also numerous benefits that the organisation itself earns from taking on apprenticeships.
It gives the company a chance to work with new people, as one example. Young people tend to work differently to those who have been working in the same environment for a while, therefore they can offer a new perspective and take on challenges in a new light.
Plus, 92% of employers said that apprenticeships lead to a more motivated and satisfied workforce and they can improve a company's reputation and increase consumer demand for the goods and services offered by the organisation too. However, most importantly, taking on apprenticeships enables the organisation to grow its own talent.
And of course, by working for charities and incorporating apprenticeships for younger individuals, it will have a major impact for the greater good.
Here at Reason Digital, everything we do is done with the intention of changing lives and to make a difference. We want to encourage younger people to join the campaign and help make the world a better place. Rather than working to make the rich people richer, do a little good and use your skills to help renovate the world instead.
RD note – If you needed further convincing, we'd like to thank Liv, who joined us recently, for writing this brilliant piece. We hope you got just as much out of your stay as we did.

Q: Set focus in Shiny app to a specific UI element on load After my R Shiny app has loaded, I would like to set focus to the selectInput element, so that the user can immediately select an item by up-down arrows and hit enter.
I was trying to capture the JavaScript load event, send it to R and than use the Shiny.addCustomMessageHandler to set focus of the selectInput element.
As an intermediate step, I was also trying, to use the click event from an actionButton to trigger the element focus. Although I think most parts should be in the code, the load event does not get transmitted to the server and the focus part does get picked up by JavaScript.
This post focusing the cursor in textArea after clicking an action button in shiny also did not help me enough to get it to the finish line.
This is what I have so far:
library(shiny)
ui <- fluidPage(
  tags$head(tags$script('
    window.addEventListener("load", function(){
      alert("Loaded");
      Shiny.setInputValue("loaded", 1) // new identical function to Shiny.onInputChange
    });
 ')),
  tags$head(tags$script('
    Shiny.addCustomMessageHandler("focus", function(null) {
      document.getElementById("select").focus()
    });
 ')),
  headerPanel("Focus",  windowTitle = "Focus"),
  fluidRow(
    column(width = 2, class = "panel",
           selectInput("select", label = "Your Choice", choices = c("Choice 1", "Choice 2"), selectize = TRUE),
           actionButton("click", "Click")
    ),
    column(width = 10,
           textOutput("text")
    )
  )
)

server = function(input, output, session) {

  observeEvent(input$loaded, {
    session$sendCustomMessage("focus",list(NULL))
    print("Loaded")
  })

  observeEvent(input$select, {
    print("Selected")
  })

  observeEvent(input$click, {
    session$sendCustomMessage("focus",list(NULL))
    print("Clicked")
  })

  output$text <- renderText({

  })
}

shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)

Thank you for your help.

A: Open the console (Ctrl+Shift+i with Chrome), you will see there are some errors in your JS code.
The main one is that shiny is not ready yet when you open the app, so the function Shiny.setInputValue is not found.
To be sure shiny is ready, use:
$(document).on("shiny:connected", function(){
  ......
});

Now, after some multiple trials, I found that the element to be "focused" is not the entire select element. It is its div subelement with class selectize-input, that you can select with $("#select ~ .selectize-control > .selectize-input").
Finally, the good action to perform is not focus, it is click. Here is the full app:
library(shiny)

js <- '
$(document).on("shiny:connected", function(){
  alert("Loaded");

Dystopias have always been my reading jam, and I'd heard a lot about Vox by Christina Dalcher, including that it was the "next Handmaid's tale." I don't know if I'm willing to give it that stamp of approval, but it was definitely a fascinating read, very science-driven and I like the timeline of the dystopia, something that is new and still evolving instead of set in stone like you see in other dystopias.
In the United States under Vox and President Sam Myers, women have no voice. Well, they have 100 words a day and wear a word tracker that will zap them with electrocution every time they go over that. Women are no longer allowed to work or read or do things that make citizens citizens. The Pure Movement has taken over, led by a creepy guy named Reverand Carl. Gays have been rounded up and sent to internment camps. Adulterous women are sent to camps as well. Non-traditional families have been broken up and reconstituted to fit the "pure" ideal. So meet Jean, a former linguistic researcher with four kids, including a little girl, Sonia, who may never be who she could be because of the Pure Movement. Jean was renown in her field and her husband Patrick is the president's science advisor. Which means when the government decides they need a cure to aphasia, a breakdown of the language center of the brain, they come to Jean's door and make her an offer she can't refuse. The time crunch is on and Jean is thrust back into the world that only two months ago she thought she was losing forever, including former colleagues, a life of words, and government secrets. Because the project is not what it seems and Jean and her family will be tested beyond their wildest dreams. Who can they trust? How much worse can it get? Will their own son betray them all?
I was a little skeptical about this book at first, because it seemed a little too rooted in the anti-Trump political movement, which can make the book seem too timely and not timeless enough, but it eventually surpasses that. The science in this book is kind of confusing, but honestly really interesting and well done for the average audience. The relationships are complicated and I love that your loyalties switch a bit throughout and you never really know who to trust. Something I really loved about this book compared to other dystopias is that it takes place right after the big "break" in society. It's not Jean realizing ten years later something isn't right. It's her fighting back from day one and still remembering what it was like before the big shift. And even though some things felt a little shoved in to make things more tense (no spoilers here but…not absolutely everything has to happen to make you want to change things, ya know?) but overall, I really enjoyed this book, especially after the first sixty or so pages.
I really enjoyed your commentary on this one. I'm anxious to see what my thoughts will be. I'll probably read it at the end of the month.


If you're using the primitive API rather than the entity API then you do not have easy access to the orientation parameters.
It's possible to do all this from scratch, but it's hard work….
Yes, this is possible, by default the javafx_scenebuilder-2_0-windows.msi installs to all users and tries to registry some fonts etc.
This can be avoided by running the following command. This will install a link to the Desktop, when it is run Scene Builder will install, just click Ignore on all the warnings about failed font installation.
Started seeing "No seektable" when trying to edit recordings – to set cut points…After investigation turned out the table recordedseek in mythconverg was corrupt.
Tried to fix with this but didn't work.
Ended up with this solution. Export database excluding bad table, purge database, rebuild and then replay export file on top. Worked perfectly.
This is the final solution. See failed attempts below and error outputs.
Attempt 1. Fail. Why. mount.cifs not installed by default.
Attempt 2 – installed cifs-utils. Fail. Why. Need to use sec option.
Attempt 3 – added sec option. Fail. Why. Guest option doesn't work with OS X. Need to use username=guest,password=none.
iperf bandwidth testing woes – killing cleanly etc.
When running iperf on Windows platforms it is difficult to shut it down cleanly, without leaving stray child processes – especially if using within Java using ProcessBuilder.
The solution I've discovered takes two approaches. Firstly run iperf server using the lesser known -P 1 switch, this causes it to shutdown after the client has connected.
The second issue is stray processes left. It seems that ProcessBuilder.terminate() and ProcessBuilder.terminateForcibly() won't kill child processes. The way to do it is to send a SIGINT, i.e. a -2 or Ctrl-C in Linux. Unfortunately Windows + Java doesn't allow such niceties. Fortunately there is an amazing Third Party library called Sigar which will save the day. This keeps your code platform independent.
Sometimes mythtranscode can fail. If it does, the recommended way to fix it is to stream copy the .mpg using ffmpeg, replace the original file and try again.
Android only supports H264 baseline profiles.
Built-in mythtv editor for cut-points easy and quick to use – in conjunction with "honorcutlist" option.
echo "$DEST/$nice_title.mp4 already exists. Exiting"
echo "Transcode failed. Attempting to fix with stream copy"
I found the error when processing the output from mythtranscode with avconv.
The same technique with avconv did not work, it crashed with the same non monotonic error.

Hobbs Act Could Sink Joe Biden
Posted on October 8, 2019 by Moderator
How the Hobbs Act Could Sink Joe Biden
By Frank Friday
To say the drive-by media have circled the wagons for Joe Biden is putting it mildly. Every day, in print and on their TV broadcasts, they thunder that there is no evidence! He broke no laws when his son raked off millions of dollars from China and Ukraine for no-show jobs. Even New Jersey's most famous traffic judge seems to be confused. A guy in Ukraine also posits that Biden broke no laws there, either, as if there were really any laws to break in that wild West corruption show.
But as an American lawyer, who often has to advise public officials on state and federal ethics laws, I can say yes, just by the public record we already have, Joe Biden, his son, their bag-man Devon Archer, and possibly John Kerry likely violated 18 USC 1951, the dreaded Hobbs Act, the federal anti-extortion law. Hobbs has a really nasty bite to it for public officials, because it prohibits not just bribery, but merely the collecting of political tribute under color of official right.
A couple of important things to remember about Hobbs: "Color of official right" applies only to public officials while they are in office. This guy, for example, is very confused, mixing up Jeb Bush's sleazy fundraising while out of office with Hillary's activities in and out of office. It would apply to Hillary, for example, only during the time she was secretary of state. Also, the illegal payoff money can go to a close relative or associate, or even a charity, if there is enough of a connection to the accused, like the Clinton Foundation scam. Anybody assisting the public official in the pay-offs would also be guilty of conspiracy, at the very least.
Now, if you are up on your corruption law, you might ask, what about the SCOTUS 2015 decision in McDonnell v. United States? Didn't that cut back on the effect of the Hobbs Act? Indeed, it did, but the Bidens' conduct was so obvious and outrageous that they still easily meet the new standard.
In his unanimous opinion, Justice Roberts held that under the Hobbs Act, the prosecution must show two things. "First, the Government must identify a 'question, matter, cause, suit, proceeding or controversy that may at any time be pending or may by law be brought before a public official.'" Well, we have that: the very legitimacy of the entity known as Burisma Holdings in Ukraine was at stake, and whether the company, and its oligarch owner, Mykola Zlochevsky, faced prosecution or sanctions from both the United States and Ukraine. After several years of negotiations, Zlochevksy has returned, still in control, but there is no question that Burisma was very much a "matter" triggering the law.
Second, "the Government must prove that the public official made a decision or took an action on that question, matter, cause, suit, proceeding or controversy, or agreed to do so[.]" The "official act" standard. And by golly, we have old Joe on tape bragging about an official act affecting Burisma — namely, the firing of the prosecutor, Mr. Shokin, in exchange for U.S. aid. Old Joe was put in charge of Ukraine foreign aid almost immediately after the Obama State Department putsch in February 2014. All of Biden's meddling in Ukraine affairs by controlling the foreign aid to the Poroshenko regime are clearly "official acts."
Now, the Biden defenders will retort that Mr. Shokin was a crook and the Burisma case was not going forward anyway. Put aside that this is highly disputed and is coming apart as more information comes to light. Here's the problem for old Joe: it doesn't matter.
Biden needed only to take an action that involved Burisma and its owner, and intervening with Ukraine over Mr. Shokin is more than enough to meet the elements of the law. Under the Hobbs Act, it doesn't matter if Mr. Shokin was actually getting anywhere or whether the ultimate disposition of Burisma would have been at all different. The Hobbs Act was specifically written to punish elected officials who broadly trade on their offices, and boy, does it ever. Rest assured that Mr. Barr and Mr. Durham understand this only too well.
One more thing to consider: The guy who is really at the center of the scandal is Devon Archer, seen here in the famous golfing photo. Joe is now trying to deny knowing about Burisma and his son, but there is a mountain of evidence to the contrary, including Hunter's own admissions. Remember, Hunter Biden is a wreck of a man from constant drug use, and Joe himself is too stupid to put together million-dollar bribery schemes.
The man who did is Devon Archer, who snagged his own job on the Burisma board almost immediately after John Kerry's State Department put in the Poroshenko regime in 2014. Then he brought along his buddy, Hunter Biden, where they both made millions. Archer is a longtime close aid to John Kerry and a business partner with Kerry's stepson, the billionaire playboy Chris Heinz. It's also true that Kerry is Joe Biden's closest Washington friend and ally. No wonder Archer, with such intimate connections to the two men, Kerry and Biden, whom Obama chose to oversee American aid to Ukraine, was on the first plane he could find to Kiev to offer his "services" in 2014.
Archer, by the way, nearly went to prison before, when his conviction for defrauding Indian tribes and pension funds was overturned.
If I were the prosecutor, I would consider giving Archer immunity, whether he asked for it or not, thus denying him the 5th Amendment rights before a grand jury and making him spill the beans. What were all the little favors the V.P.'s office and sec'y of state Kerry did for Burisma and Mr. Zlochevsky? Mr. Archer is a greedy guy, and he no doubt leveraged Mr. Biden and Kerry to the max. There's plenty more to come out.
But just from what the Bidens have already put on the public record, we know they broke American laws, starting with the Hobbs Act, punishable by fines and imprisonment up to 20 years.

CAR: UN Deploys Peacekeepers to Thwart Election Disruption Attempts
Guerre -
FLORENT VERGNES/AFP or licensors
By Kizzi Asala
with AFP
Political tensions are Mounting in the Central African Republic
The United Nations deployed peacekeeping forces on Friday in Bossemptélé and Bossembélé v two localities reportedly seized in the Ombella-M'Poko region by armed elements of the 3R, the MPC and anti-Balaka.
These are three of the largest groups that occupy two-thirds of the Central African Republic and they announced their merger and the creation of the Coalition of Patriots for Change (CPC) in a statement issued Saturday — as they also invited "all other armed groups to join" in their cause.
The CPC's blockade activity near the capital Banguiin comes in light of massive electoral fraud fears from the opposition and the armed coalition has also threatened to attack President Faustin Archangel Touadéra if he seeks a perceived fraudulent second term in office.
The UN has denounced "a deliberate attempt to disrupt the presidential and legislative elections" on 27 December and the organisation's peacekeepers are "on high alert" to prevent armed groups "from disrupting the elections" in the country as part of its mission.
The Central African Republic has been ravaged by civil war after a coalition of Muslim-dominated armed groups, the Séléka, overthrew the regime of President François Bozizé in 2013. Clashes between Séléka and Christian militias and anti-Balaka animists resulted in thousands of deaths.
Since 2018, the war has evolved into a low-intensity conflict, where armed groups compete for control of the country's resources — mainly livestock and minerals, while regularly perpetrating abuses against the civilian population.

The City of Homekey's Palace has an "architectural hiccup" known as The Space. It's a private tavern for those in the know, often filled with Homekey units regardless of rank or station. Warlords, courtiers, and Homekey's lone caster meet there frequently to partake of Winemancy, drink, and be merry. However, common infantry or Delkey units haven't been seen there.
Chief of Staff Bucky Bits is sure King Posbrake knows about The Space, but doesn't discuss it.
Keeping with the keyboard theme, The Space is a reference to a keyboard's space bar.
Common infantry haven't been seen there, making it's atmosphere seem like an officer's club.

Home THINGS TO DO Theatre Reviews 'Curtains' review
'Curtains' review
by Nicola Spencer
This show promised a great deal and delivered two-thirds of it.
Billed as a musical comedy whodunnit, there was indeed music, courtesy of the much-lauded writing partnership of John Kander and Fred Ebb (better known for writing the music for the multi-award-winning Chicago and Cabaret), comedy in the witty one-liners and hammy acting of the hilarious Samuel Holmes and Rebecca Lock in particular, but not much of a whodunnit.
The story follows a troupe of actors whose main star is murdered after disastrous opening night, closely followed by one of the show's producers. Everyone has a motive. Enter Jason Manford as a musical theatre-loving detective to solve the crimes and, ultimately, save the show. Until I read this show's programme I didn't realise that Manford had performed in so many musicals, so it came as a lovely surprise to hear him sing. He was excellent, with a fabulous voice and a very likeable demeanour.
Several musical numbers were in fact exquisitely executed – big band music with flawless choreography and a talented cast who hit all the right notes; in particular the cast's rendition of The Woman's Dead, The Man is Dead and Show People. I am also writing this review with the hilarious lyrics of What Kind of Man? still ringing in my ears – a funny and clever reaction to the mauling the show received from the theatre critics.
I am trying hard not to be the "kind of low down dirty bum…and swine-ish scurvy scum" to knock this particular production, but sadly many of the songs were superfluous and didn't seem to further the plot.
It is a long play and I think would have benefitted from cutting out half the songs, a strange pas de deux interlude which seemed to be there merely to showcase the dancing skills of Alan Burkitt and Emma Caffrey (who were indeed excellent dancers) but which was completely nonsensical to the storyline, and instead concentrating on developing the murder mystery plot.
From a comedy point of view, the script is witty with some laugh-out-loud one-liners, delivered by a talented cast who mainly stuck to an authentic American pronunciation.
However, there were too many layers to the plot and, unlike Detective Cioffi, I was not invested enough in the characters to want to investigate further.
There was the pushy stage mother, constantly belittling her narcissistic daughter in front of others, while actually trying to advance her career, the will–they-won't-they-get-back-together separated lovers, a stage critic bent on revenge, the blossoming romance between detective and actress. The actors did their valiant best to develop these subplots, but it was all a bit laborious.
As for the whodunnit side, I think more should have been made of the murder story.
I found myself drifting off a couple of times so that when the murderer was revealed, I had missed the back-story. In fact, this was less a sitting-on-the-edge-of-my-seat classic thriller than a mildly diverting I-don't-really-care-who-did-it-but-I-generally-enjoyed-the-journey-to-the-dénouement sort of show.
In fact, I spent longer wondering why the audience members on either side of me didn't return for the second half. Perhaps the rather wearisome first half did not give enough suggestion of the better half to come. Or perhaps they too had been knocked off by the resident theatre serial killer?
In conclusion, an enjoyable evening with some great musical numbers, but don't expect to be humming the tunes when the curtains fall.

The Kneeling Controversy
Max Horsford, Staff Writer/Broadcaster
One of the nation's biggest topics recently has to do with NFL players kneeling for the National Anthem. People on the news and online have been taking strong positions on both sides, so we've to set and decided to interview a few students to see where Weedsport stands.
If you have watched the news at all the past few weeks you would have seen Donald Trump at a one of his rallies saying that NFL players should be fired if they kneel during the National Anthem. This came off as strange because the whole problem seemed to die down and people were doing it less and less, however he decided to bring it back to the center of attention again. This prompted basically the entire league to take a knee even if they weren't inclined to do so before. Also just recently, Mike Pence the Vice President, staged a walkout of an Indianapolis Colts San Francisco 49ers game. He got up and left the seats he was sitting in after he saw players protesting the Anthem and said it was unplanned. However he told the bus driving him he'd be back right after the Anthem, meaning he knew they would protest went to the game knowing he wouldn't stay spending tax dollars to pull a charade to score political points. now, in light of all of this some are on the side of the protesters others think that no one should ever kneel for the Anthem, still others think that it's all blown out of proportion and they should just play football and move on.
For my interviews I decided to talk with Juniors Jon Wejko, an avid football fan and Ty Follett, the center for the Warriors Football Team. I asked them both the same 5 questions, here are the full interviews.
Q1: Is this the right time or place to protest, and should they be allowed to protest?
Jon: No, this is not the right place to have a whole event, it a business they're trying to make money not promote a certain idea. It's all about football and money, that's what the NFL stands for. And when people go to watch football they spend $500 a ticket just to see people ruining the game. I do respect their right to protest, everyone has the right to protest, but I do feel that is the wrong place to do it but I can't stop them.
Ty: I think it's the right place, it's widely watched, tons of people watch the NFL, and they are taking a knee for racial inequality because they believe it deserves attention. I feel like it's as good as any because people look up to athletes.
Q2: Is there racial inequality like the protesters claim in America by law enforcement and others?
Jon: Well, by the police, no. The racial inequality that exists is not perpetrated by the police, but I will admit that it is a very deep set part of our culture, it's not a good thing but it's just there and been there for a long time. In the police force, minimally, not to the extent that they claim, no.
Ty: Yes. There is definitely racial inequality like they claim, be it police officers or just the way some people act.
Q3: How do you feel about the shaming done by the Steeler's coach to Alejandro Villanueva? Did he deserve the criticism he got for not being with his team during the Anthem?
Jon: Absolutely not. That man went out and fought for his country, our freedom, he has just as much of a right to stand up as they do to sit down.
Ty: I mean, he served what, like 3 tours in Iraq? And he was a Ranger, I mean he served in the military so he has the choice, you can have your own opinion, It's not like, "oh well since my coach said it I'm gonna do it" if you look at all the NFL teams, they say they all talk to their players about what they're gonna do, it's more up to them. They'd like to be united but they're grown men out there and they can make their own decisions.
Q4: Should this be as big of a deal as everyone is making it? With it all over the news?
Jon: There's only one reason that it is all over the news, and that's Donald Trump. I love him to death alright? He's-he's-he's… our president, and he's not a bad one. But he should just let it be, it was dying down, there was like 8 people kneeling before he made his comments and now it is the entire league.
Ty: I think all of the anger is stupid, because three quarters of the people that get angry about it think that they're protesting the flag and that's not the case. They do it during the anthem because of the words in the Anthem because it is about us being equal and united, they're not doing it because they hate the flag, they are doing it because they want to see things change.
Q5: What are your thoughts of the Pence walkout and Trumps comments about the players being "S.O.Bs"?
Jon: Freedom of speech and freedom of expression. I don't see why the Pence walkout is a big deal, if he wants to score political points, let him.
Ty: I watched the news and saw the discussion that they had about Mike Pence and I agree that it was staged, he knew what was going on and he went to a game where you know the team does this. It seems like a political stunt to do this and its un-needed. And Trump calling them S.O.Bs, It's so stupid, you're the president of America and you say "these S.O.Bs should be fired", even if you do have to worry about it, at least say it in a more professional manner like you can't tell them they can't do it because it's their constitutional right to peacefully protest, that's what we've fought wars for, to protect our constitutional rights to protest and that's what they're doing.
The two opinions expressed here are basically both sides of the whole argument. For more information about both arguments and more, check out these links:

"Meet the latest addition to the family. Aarin and Kathy accepted Allgood Bonsai's Winged Elm into the collection after seeing it at the 2018 US National Bonsai Expo in Rochester, NY. Here this beauty is, settling in to its winter enclosure.  Allgood Bonsai is an Atlanta, GA-area bonsai nursery and studio created and maintained by Rodney and Charlie Clemons."
"Today we moved bonsai from our outdoor collection into their winter enclosures. They'll be in these cozy boxes until spring, each with a little heater (the same type used in ATM machines). #staycozybonsai"
The tree is a Chinese elm (Ulmus parvifolia) that has been in training since 1975. The original artist is Jiu Wei Huang.


Finally the world's best cod liver oil is available in super convenient capsules so you can take them everywhere with you and not have to worry about keeping the oil in the fridge. It is also great for those who don't like the taste of cod liver oil but still want to enjoy all the nutrition it provides.
Rosita Real Foods™ Artisan Extra-Virgin Cod Liver Oil (EVCLO) is produced in small batches from Wild Harvested Cod (Gadus morhua) from the Pristine Clean Waters of Norway. It is made from superior quality fresh livers using an age-old cold climate cold pressed extraction technique. The resultant oil is as pure & authentic as it was for the Nordic Vikings hundreds of years ago. This is the highest quality cod liver oil available in Australia and the rest of the world. Rosita cod liver oil is a favorite at Superfoods Australia and the capsules make it really easy to take.
Extra virgin oil was also tested [as far back as: 15.07.2011] by the producer at ECO-Marine using Nofima (the Norwegian Institute of Food, Fisheries and Aquaculture Research) BioLab which specialises in marine raw materials and products. Project no (C3937).
Suggested Serving Size: 3 softgels (500mg each) daily.
Room temperature (15°C - 25°C, 58°F - 78°F) - Do not refrigerate. - The oil must be kept in dark storage.
3 softgels (500mg each) daily. - Adults take three softgels (500 mg each) twice daily.

My Daughter cant take any fish oil as she can not stand fish, so I bought her these capsules and she is truly feeling a big difference with her health. These really are the best money can buy, thanks for supplying them!
