In the middle of working on Apocalypse Redux, I received a plain white envelope from the US government, and my heart did a little momentary flip, thinking, 'What's this?' And it turned out to be a VHS tape and an audio cassette tape, both very low... the kind of things you might buy in a supermarket. And it was a transfer of a film made in 1894, of William Kennedy Dickson playing the violin. And what was on the audio tape was a transfer from a cylinder recorded in 1894 of somebody playing a violin in a rather chaotic situation. If you listen to the three minutes of the cylinder, there's a lot of stopping and starting, and people talking in the background, and extraneous noises. But buried within that sound, you could very faintly hear somebody say, 'Are the rest of you ready? Go ahead.' And this cylinder had been discovered just a few years earlier. Somebody going through Thomas Edison's backlog of damaged goods at his site, Menlo Park in New Jersey, had come up with this cylinder, which was in fact, broken. It had broken in half, and therefore nobody knew what was on it. And so it was sent to the Rodgers and Hammerstein Centre for Recorded Sound at Lincoln Centre in New York, and they fitted it back together very carefully without damaging it, and not using superglue or anything, but real restoration, and played it. And the sound that they heard on it was this sound, and somebody – it turned out to be Patrick Loughney, who was the head librarian of media at the National Library in Washington, DC – said, 'I wonder if this is the soundtrack to this piece of film of William Dickson playing the violin.'
When you look at this piece of film, which has never been lost from public view, it's part of Edison's... What he left to the nation when he died. William Dickson, who was one of Edison's key inventors, is playing the violin, and there's a big acoustic horn off to the left of him. So it's clear that that sound was being recorded. Is it possible? Yes, it is possible that this is the experiment where they were trying to do recorded sound on film for the very first time. But it was a failure at the time, for reasons I'll get into in a second. And eventually the cylinder was tossed aside, and eventually it broke and history moved on. But this was an attempt to make a device they called 'the Kinetophone' that would run in synchronisation with an image. So that you could see somebody standing there and talking, like we have in film today. They never solved the synchronisation problem. In fact, this was the first time human beings ever confronted the fact that synchronisation is difficult, that life is in sync, or it seems to be in sync. Therefore, if we have a photograph and a sound, we should just record them and something... It'll work. Well, it doesn't just work, because you have to have an agreed upon start, where do these things start, and that's what the clapstick, the famous clapstick in film is for. And then you have to guarantee that both systems run at the same rate. Because even if you start together, it doesn't do you any good if one of them goes slightly faster than the other, then you lose synchronisation. And so they made a few... What they called Kinetophones, but they were kind of music videos. You would put your eyes up to the machine in 1895-6, or whenever it was, and you would see a photograph of Niagara Falls today, for instance. Then you would hear a band, John Philip Sousa's band playing The Niagara Falls March, or something. So you know... But it wasn't synchronised, it was just however it happened to wind up.
Born in 1943 in New York City, Murch graduated from the University of Southern California's School of Cinema-Television. His career stretches back to 1969 and includes work on Apocalypse Now, The Godfather I, II, and III, American Graffiti, The Conversation, and The English Patient. He has been referred to as 'the most respected film editor and sound designer in modern cinema.' In a career that spans over 40 years, Murch is perhaps best known for his collaborations with Francis Ford Coppola, beginning in 1969 with The Rain People. After working with George Lucas on THX 1138 (1971), which he co-wrote, and American Graffiti (1973), Murch returned to Coppola in 1974 for The Conversation, resulting in his first Academy Award nomination. Murch's pioneering achievements were acknowledged by Coppola in his follow-up film, the 1979 Palme d'Or winner Apocalypse Now, for which Murch was granted, in what is seen as a film-history first, the screen credit 'Sound Designer.' Murch has been nominated for nine Academy Awards and has won three, for best sound on Apocalypse Now (for which he and his collaborators devised the now-standard 5.1 sound format), and achieving an unprecedented double when he won both Best Film Editing and Best Sound for his work on The English Patient. Murch's contributions to film reconstruction include 2001's Apocalypse Now: Redux and the 1998 re-edit of Orson Welles's Touch of Evil. He is also the director and co-writer of Return to Oz (1985). In 1995, Murch published a book on film editing, In the Blink of an Eye: A Perspective on Film Editing, in which he urges editors to prioritise emotion.

Rescuers in China get aid through to quake-struck village on foot
By Euronews • last updated: 04/05/2015
Nepal's earthquake has also had an impact on parts of south west China. The village of Laojiang which has been cut off by landslides is being given a life line by a 65-member relief team which is getting equipment through on foot.
Each day the aid workers are making a six hour hike up to the village.
The team leader says it's a job which has to be done, "It could take days for the road to be cleared," so until then he says, "we will keep on carrying supplies up to the village ourselves."
Each man is taking up 15 kilograms of vital aid which includes tents, boxes of noodles, and medicines.
Most of the houses in the village suffered some sort of damage in the earthquake and the residents – all 74 of them – are having to take shelter where they can.

A Brief History of Color in Art
The Art Genome Project
By Sarah Gottesman
Originally found on Artsy.net
Artists invented the first pigments—a combination of soil, animal fat, burnt charcoal, and chalk—as early as 40,000 years ago, creating a basic palette of five colors: red, yellow, brown, black, and white. Since then, the history of color has been one of perpetual discovery, whether through exploration or scientific advancement. The invention of new pigments accompanied the developments of art history's greatest movements—from the Renaissance to Impressionism—as artists experimented with colors never before seen in the history of painting.
Found in iron-rich soil and first employed as an artistic material (as far as we know) in prehistoric cave paintings, red ochre is one of the oldest pigments still in use. Centuries later, during the 16th and 17th centuries, the most popular red pigment came from a cochineal insect, a creature that could only be found on prickly-pear cacti in Mexico. These white bugs produced a potent red dye so sought-after by artists and patrons that it quickly became the third greatest import out of the "New World" (after gold and silver), as explains Victoria Finlay in A Brilliant History of Color in Art. Raphael, Rembrandt, and Rubens all used cochineal as a glaze, layering the pigment atop other reds (like red ochre) to increase their intensity. A non-toxic source for red pigment, the cochineal bug is still used to color lipsticks and blush today.
Ever since the Medieval era, painters have depicted the Virgin Mary in a bright blue robe, choosing the color not for its religious symbolism, but rather for its hefty price tag. Mary's iconic hue—called ultramarine blue—comes from lapis lazuli, a gemstone that for centuries could only be found in a single mountain range in Afghanistan. This precious material achieved global popularity, adorning Egyptian funerary portraits, Iranian Qur'ans, and later the headdress in Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring (1665).
For hundreds of years, the cost of lapis lazuli rivaled even the price of gold. In the 1950s, Yves Klein collaborated with a Parisian paint supplier to invent a synthetic version of ultramarine blue, and this color became the French artist's signature. Explaining the appeal of this historic hue, Klein said, "Blue has no dimensions. It is beyond dimensions."
Few artists in history have been known for their use of yellow, though Joseph Mallord William Turner and Vincent van Gogh are the most notable exceptions. Turner so loved the color that contemporary critics mocked the British painter, writing that his images were "afflicted with jaundice," and that the artist may have a vision disorder. For his sublime and sun-lit seascapes, Turner used the experimental watercolor Indian Yellow—a fluorescent paint derived from the urine of mango-fed cows (a practice banned less than a century later for its cruelty to animals).
For brighter touches, Turner employed the synthetic Chrome Yellow, a lead-based pigment known to cause delirium. Vincent van Gogh also painted his starry nights and sunflowers with this vivid and joyful hue. "Oh yes! He loved yellow, did good Vincent, the painter from Holland, gleams of sunlight warming his soul, which detested fog," wrote the painter Paul Gauguin of his friend and artistic companion.
While the color green evokes nature and renewal, its pigments have been some of the most poisonous in history. In 1775, the Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele invented a deadly hue, Scheele's Green, a bright green pigment laced with the toxic chemical arsenic. Cheap to produce, Scheele's Green became a sensation in the Victorian era, even though many suspected the color to be dangerous for artists and patrons alike. The French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte's bedroom wallpaper even featured Scheele's Green, and historians believe the pigment caused the revolutionary's death in 1821.
By the end of the 19th century, Paris Green—a similar mixture of copper and arsenic—replaced Scheele's Green as a more durable alternative, enabling Claude Monet, Paul Cézanne, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir to create vivid, emerald landscapes. Used as a rodenticide and an insecticide, Paris Green was still highly toxic, and may have been responsible for Cézanne's diabetes and Monet's blindness. Not surprisingly, it was eventually banned in the 1960s.
"I have finally discovered the true color of the atmosphere," Claude Monet once declared. "It's violet. Fresh air is violet." The purple shadows and lavender specks of light that enliven Monet's haystacks and waterlilies owe much to a little-known American portrait painter named John Goffe Rand. In 1841, Rand grew frustrated with the messy practice of storing paint in a pig's bladder, which was the prevailing method for preserving pigments at the time, and invented a more practical and portable option: a collapsible paint tube made of tin. This enabled artists like Monet to paint plein air, easily transporting their color to outdoor locations to capture impressions of the environment, and in turn led to the production of nuanced, pre-mixed paint shades in tin tubes, such as Manganese Violet, the first affordable mauve-colored paint that meant artists no longer had to mix red and blue to make purple. The Impressionists—especially Monet—so adored the new hue that critics accused the painters of having "violettomania."
Frank Stella, Zambezi, 1959
The darkest pigment found in Old Masters paintings is aptly named "bone black," and is produced by burning animal bones in an air-free chamber. While the Impressionists avoided black paint—finding areas of darkness to be filled with color—American artists in the '50s and '60s returned to black with a vengeance.
Frank Stella, Richard Serra, and Ad Reinhardt all created monochromatic black paintings, stripping the canvas of any subject matter other than the paint itself. Taken together, these painters prove that black is as nuanced a color as any other, capable of many permutations, tones, and textures. Speaking about his practice in 1967, Reinhardt quoted the Japanese painter and printmaker Katsushika Hokusai, saying, "There is a black which is old and a black which is fresh. Lustrous black and dull black, black in sunlight and black in shadow."
Robert Ryman, Series # 32, 2005
Of all the pigments—Chrome Yellow, Scheele's Green, Paris Green—that have been banned over the centuries, the color most missed by painters is likely Lead White. This hue could capture and reflect a gleam of light like no other, though its production was anything but glamorous. The 17th-century Dutch method for manufacturing the pigment involved layering cow and horse manure over lead and vinegar. After three months in a sealed room, these materials would combine to create flakes of pure white.
While scientists in the late 19th century identified lead as poisonous, it wasn't until 1978 that the United States banned the production of lead white paint. In this era, Robert Rauschenberg, Robert Ryman, and Agnes Martin turned to titanium and zinc whites to create monochromatic white paintings, while artists like Dan Flavin bypassed pigments altogether in sculptures that emitted white light directly.

CNBC analyst Jim Cramer talks with a reporter at the NASDAQ Marketsite shortly after the opening bell in New York City in 2008.	 (Brendan McDermid/Reuters)
The hyperactive CNBC host and financial analyst Jim Cramer offered an eye-opening and rather unconstitutional proposal on his program, urging the federal government to require all citizens to get vaccinated or demonstrate their proof of exemption in court, and to have the vaccination program run by the U.S. military.
JIM CRAMER, CNBC: With the new Omicron Variant sweeping the globe, how do we finally put an end to this pandemic? How do we save lives and get business back to normal so everybody can put dinner on the table?
Simple, the federal government needs to require vaccines, including booster shots, for everyone in America by, say, January 1st.
There are still some things that need to be done at a national level and this is one of them. But as we brace for another wave of new deaths, it's time to admit that our government has lost the ability, or the will, to make our people do the right thing. Nobody wants to be the bad guy, so we've allowed a pastiche of uncoordinated health organizations to dictate an on-again, off-again series of measures that mostly just leave us baffled and confused.
We haven't centralized the issue to the point the White House seems to take responsibility.
…It's time to admit we have to go to war against Covid. Require vaccinations universally. And have the military run it. If you don't want to get vaccinated, you better be ready to prove your conscientious objector status in court, and even then you need to help in the war effort by staying home until we finally beat this thing.
SARS CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is going to be around in one form or another for a long while. Roughly 44 percent of the earth's population is still waiting for their first shot of any vaccine.
Vaccination protects you from hospitalization and death, but the vaccines' effectiveness will wane after a while. We don't know exactly when; besides factors such as age and comorbidities, the immune system's ability to fight off versions of the virus varies significantly from one individual to the next.
There's a chance that at some point, a variant of the virus may emerge that our vaccines aren't as effective in fighting. It's theoretically possible, but not likely, that some variant may emerge that the current vaccines aren't effective against at all.
At this point, it's far too early to tell if the Omicron variant is significantly different enough from other versions of the virus to require new, different versions of the existing COVID-19 vaccines.
Drugmakers such as Moderna are already working on new vaccines specifically designed to work against the Omicron variant. Pfizer and BioNTech said they could develop an Omicron-specific vaccine within six weeks and ship initial batches within 100 days if needed.
When a booster or a new version of the vaccine becomes available, some Americans will eagerly be first in line. Some Americans will procrastinate a bit but eventually get around to it. Some Americans will want to see how others react to it before getting it themselves. And some Americans will refuse to get it entirely.
Public-health officials and elected officials should read those four sentences again and commit them to memory. There is no scenario in which every American quietly and obediently lines up and gets their newest round of shots just because the government tells them they must do it. You have to encourage and persuade everyone who is persuadable, and hope the rest encounter some experience or trusted figure who changes their mind. We cannot punish our way to greater vaccination rates, and declaring that "the military is taking over this whole thing" is a counterproductive authoritarian fantasy.
If COVID-19 is going to be around in one form or another for the next few years, and we require regular boosters to ensure that our bodies can effectively fight off the virus, then we will be running vaccination programs continuously, indefinitely. This will require us to be understanding of people's vaccination fatigue and to patiently explain why another booster is needed. After all, the official guidance and assessments of the experts can change pretty quickly:
It was not that long ago – April! – it wasn't clear that Americans would need booster shots against COVID-19 at all.
In July, the World Health Organization argued that it was wasteful and unnecessary to offer boosters to those who are already vaccinated and that the doses would be better used on the world's unvaccinated.
In September, Philip Krause and Marion Gruber, two longtime top U.S. Food and Drug Administration officials specializing in vaccines, published a long essay in the medical journal The Lancet, expressing skepticism, or at least wariness, that members of the general public need a booster shot against COVID-19 soon.
Those two former FDA officials are still not convinced, writing in the Washington Post yesterday, "the data does not show that every healthy adult should get a booster. Indeed, the push for boosters for all could actually prolong the pandemic. First, such a campaign diverts focus away from the goal of persuading the unvaccinated to get their shots (and persuading parents to get their eligible children shots). Second, and relatedly, exaggerated descriptions of the waning efficacy of the vaccines undermine public confidence in them, and some people may be less likely to accept vaccines that they regard as less effective than originally advertised."
This doesn't mean that Krause and Gruber are right, or that boosters are not a good idea. It does mean that the bumper-sticker slogan "follow the science!" is meaningless because bright, well-informed scientists disagree on the best course of action.
Finally, if the definition of "fully vaccinated" is changing before our eyes — as Ron DeSantis accurately predicted — this illustrates the absurdity of a government mandate attempting to get the unvaccinated or insufficiently vaccinated fired from their jobs for not meeting a particular deadline. And it appears even the Biden administration can see that now, declaring that despite the previously stated deadline of November 22, unvaccinated federal workers will not face unpaid suspensions or firing, until at least early next year.

A part of Madhya Pradesh has been separated and formed into a new state Chattisgarh from November 1, 2000. The details given here are before the separation. Click on Chattisgarh for more information.
Madhya Pradesh situated in the centre of India, is surrounded by Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh in the south, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan in the north, Bihar and Orissa in the east and Gujarat in the west. The state of Madhya Pradesh came into existence on November 1, 1956.
Except for the valleys of the Narmada and the Tapti, Madhya Pradesh consists of a plateau with a mean elevation of 1600 ft above sea level, interspersed with the mountains of the Vindhya and the Satpura ranges. The main river systems are the Chambal, Betwa, Sindh, Narmada, Tapti, Mahanadi and Indravati. Nearly a third of the state's area is covered with tropical forests ranging between the rivers Chambal in the north and Godavari in the south. To the east of Chambal, the area has rocky surface and thick forest. Farther north, the topography of the plains stretches up to the ravines of Chambal.
The highlands of Malwa present an appearance of waving fields of grain and the green luxuriance among the shades of mango and tamarind trees clustering round the rural habitations. The inhabitants of this plateau are mostly agriculturists. The low lying area in the north of Malwa which touches the tract around Gwalior has a different appeal. Its north-east side gradually extends to y Bundelkhand and meets the Kaimur Hills in Baghelkhand. Here the people are more sturdy and of lesser height as compared to the peasants of Malwa. The hilly regions fall mainly on the Vindhya and Satpura ranges where Bhils, Gonds, Korkus and other tribes of mixed descent practice agriculture. The river Narmada which rises from Amarkantak begins to run through a rocky bed near Jabalpur and Mandla. It emerges near Mandhata and widens its flow near Maheshwar in Nimad. During the rainy season a rich growth of vegetation is visible all around. The black soil of Malwa bears magnificent crops.
The climate is extreme in the north of Madhya Pradesh. It is cool and breezy in the central parts and humid in the eastern and southern regions.

The recent Legal Analysis of the Transfer of Public Lands Movement from University of Utah's Wallace Stegner Center for Land, Resources and the Environment ignores, avoids and alters basic "stubborn facts." As highlighted in the article "University of Utah Legal Analysis Ignores 'Stubborn Facts' on the Transfer of Public Lands Movement" Utah State Representative and American Lands Council President Ken Ivory reviews the neglected stubborn facts in detail.
Ken Ivory, President of ALC states "These "stubborn facts" are so obviously hidden in plain sight, that it begs the question whether the authors arrived at their conclusion merely to suit their own "inclinations," "dictates" and "passions." "
John Adams famously said once "Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence."
According to the American Lands Council, the recent Legal Analysis of the Transfer of Public Lands Movement (Oct 29, 2014 - White Paper No. 2014-2) from University of Utah's Wallace Stegner Center for Land, Resources and the Environment ignores, avoids and alters basic "stubborn facts." As highlighted in the article "University of Utah Legal Analysis Ignores 'Stubborn Facts' on the Transfer of Public Lands Movement" by Ken Ivory, Utah State Representative and president of the American Lands Council, available at: Stubborn Facts , these "stubborn facts" are so obviously hidden in plain sight, that it begs the question whether the authors arrived at their conclusion merely to suit their own "inclinations," "dictates" and "passions."
The statehood enabling act terms for the disposal of public lands are the same for states east and west of Colorado – the treatment by the federal government of western states is far from the same.
For decades, the federal government controlled as much as 90% of all lands in states east of Colorado like Illinois, Louisiana and Missouri. Many of those states had the same "forever disclaim" statehood terms and yet they banded together and compelled Congress to transfer title to their lands.
American Lands Council is a non-profit organization of individuals, counties, business, and organizations that was formed in 2012. The Mission of the American Lands Council is to secure local control of western public lands by transfering federal public lands. ALC is leading the charge by giving leaders the knowledge and courage to battle for the only solution big enough to ensure better access, better health, AND better productivity through the Transfer of Public Lands (TPL) to local stewardship.

Thomas Aquinas on Song of Songs
Cerf has just published a book by Serge-Thomas Bonino O.P., Saint Thomas d'Aquin, lecteur du Cantique des Cantiques. This work concerns the way in which St. Thomas drew from Song of Songs, using this text in his theology to describe Christ, Virgin Mary, Church or to present the relations of love between the soul and God.
Fr. Serge-Thomas Bonino O.P. is a general secretary of the International Theological Commission, a president of the Pontifical Academy of St. Thomas Aquinas and a dean of the Faculty of Philosophy of the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas "Angelicum". He authored, among others, such books as Les anges et les démons. Quatorze leçons de théologie (Parole et Silence 2007) and Dieu, Celui qui est (De Deo ut uno) (Parole et Silence 2016).

Ted Roof moves up to coaching box
Ken Sugiura, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Perhaps trying to bring his defense some luck, Georgia Tech defensive coordinator Ted Roof chose to call plays from the coaching box for the first time this season in Saturday's game against Georgia Southern.
It served its purpose at least early on, as the Yellow Jackets stopped the Eagles on their opening drive. It broke a five-game streak in which the opposition had scored touchdowns on its first possession of the game. Tech entered the game ranked 78th in defensive yards-per-play at 5.68 and 106th in third-down conversion rate at 45.68 percent. The Jackets struggled again on third downs, but Georgia Southern averaged 4.0 yards per game.
Coach Paul Johnson said that Roof came to him Monday and asked if it would be OK if he coached from the box. Johnson was fine with the switch.
"Personally, I think he was better off up there anyway," Johnson said. "You can see better. … I've thought about going up there myself."
Roof has tried both previously. In 2013, his first season, he started on the field, but then asked Johnson prior to the Syracuse game if he minded if he went upstairs. Like Saturday, Tech was in a three-game losing streak at that point.
"So I did, and we shut 'em out and I said, 'Well, maybe I'll just stay up here,'" Roof said in September.
He had been up in the box ever since until the first game of this season.
"Just felt like I wanted to do it," he said. "So I did it."


is a village situated on the coast of Arnarfjörður, one of the Westfjords in Iceland.
It is situated in the Vesturbyggð municipality and has 166 inhabitants (as of January 2011). The village prospered in the 19th century thanks to sound business enterprise and the booming fishing industry. Ólafur Thorlacius (1761–1815) set up business in Bíldudalur following the end of the Danish trade monopoly. He was one of the most influential businessmen in Iceland at the beginning of the 19th century. He bought and sold fish, traded goods and ran his own small fishing fleet. One of his successors, Pétur J. Thorsteinnsson (1854–1924) successfully continued this operation.

Major US equipment and machinery producer, John Deere, has opened a production facility and warehouse at Domodedovo just outside Moscow.
The company's public relations firm, Communication & Network Consulting (CNC), said that it would be used for production and storage of spare parts.
"The new enterprise will be engaged in the production and distribution of agricultural, construction and logging machinery, as well as part for the Russian market and markets in CIS countries," the agency said in a statement.
Sales and service support will also be a part of the company's plans. Investment in the project is $125 million and the location was chosen due to convenient location next to Domodedovo airport, transport infrastructure and proximity to the major highway system leading south.
Last year John Deer had announced that it was planning on investing over $500 million in Russia between 2009-2015.

Happily, towards the month-end finances may pour in.
Gemini:. This month workload, is bound to keep increasing, and to cope with it you may have to rework your strategies and manage your time better. Also, you might want to revise your long-term goals. It is likely that you may be offered a new job around this time, and if the pay package is higher and the work profile better, you should jump at it. At home, things would be happy; you may feel like taking a small vacation.
Cancer:This may be a bit of an up-and-down month. The work pressure is likely to vary drastically. At times, the scenario may be stressful and times easy going. Luckily, you would take both in your stride. If you are a businessman, expect your turnover and margins to increase . During the slack periods, you would do well to take stock of the situation and utilise the time making strategies for the future. Your family life will be happy, more or less, but there may be some challenges in the latter part of the month.
Leo:You may be prone to fits of anger and restlessness, caused by the spiralling work pressure that you may be unable to cope with. This irritability, if you don't control it forthwith, could prove to be harmful to you.. Take care not to hurt anyone with your words and deeds, especially your loved ones at home.

Be broad-minded and receptive this month and open to the ideas of your colleagues.. let your amiable disposition shine forth, endear yourself to your colleagues and do your best in making the office atmosphere happier. On the personal front, the month looks set to be very favourable. Happy times are indicated for the married ones; romance shall bloom for the singles too.

Scorpio: In matters of job or business, you may expect to be successful in almost all your endeavours. However, you are warned against becoming complacent, and let success go to your head..

Sagittarius: You can expect to make progress by leaps and bounds in your career or business.. Energy, enthusiasm, self-confidence – you would possess all these in ample measure. These may help you accomplish your own targets in double-quick time.On the personal front, there may be minor issues, but nothing major that would catch your attention for long. Remain considerate in your behaviour towards t loved ones. . Socially too, this would be a busy time, so you need to take care of your health. You may filled with an urge to change something, towards the end of the month.
Capricorn:Stars predicts that there may be no limits to what you can achieve this month, owing mostly to the fact that you are fully charged, both physically and mentally .. You may set a scorching pace, and others would not only be in awe, but may fall way behind you. . . However, there may be moments when negativity may besiege you. . At home, things may be normal and cordial. If buying a vehicle has been on your mind, go for it. But, if proposing someone is on your agenda, hold your horses. Love vibes are happy, but it's best to wait for some more time.
Aquarius:A very productive month is on the cards . You are likely to tread cautiously, but firmly, and may go about the task of implementing your ideas in a very methodical and thorough way. However, the workload will be so heavy that you would probably have to work overtime to get things done. . This, obviously means that you domestic life would get side-lined. But worry not, there shall be ample time for them once you have met your current set of aims and objectives. Though work may hardly permit it this is the right time to start a family.
Pisces: This month your creative ideas will come in extremely handy this month in both your personal as well as your professional life. . You are a big dreamer, and if you can utilise this confidence, and your full reserves of energy, to achieve your dreams, you may well succeed. Much of it will, of course, also depends on how persistent you can bring yourself to be .. So material rewards may very well be on the cards. Your status both in your workplace and in social circles is bound to get a boost. Stars advise you to keep the shadow of negativity at bay.
with the Lo Shu magic square.This ancient branch of Japanese astrology originated more than 1000 years ago.
The word 'Energy' is referred to as 'Ki' according to Japanese astrology. 9 Star Ki Astrology reports display your 9 Star Ki numbers, your Birth or Natal Chart, your 9 Star Ki Element and predictions of your relationships. 9 Star Ki Astrology is generally known as the Japanese astrological method for determining your daily horoscope and personal relationships using the Nine Stars method, which has its basis on the Feng Shui 'Magic Square', or what is more commonly known as the Lo Shu Square.
A normal 9 Star Ki Astrology reading is based on three numbers - Year Number, Month Number and the Axis Number. The Year number is the number which reflects your inner fundamental nature; the number which shows the pattern under which you were born. It is the number which tells a lot about your personality, your nature, characteristic traits, positive and negative traits and the like. The Month number is the number which reflects your behavioral pattern since childhood till you reach the age of adolescence.It has the greatest influence on how you behave on a daily basis and is therefore a primary consideration inn terms of romantic relationships. This number also shows how we, as individuals respond to the pressures, difficulties and challenges of life and how we come out of it. The Axis Number is the number which describes the side of your personality which you show up when you meet a person for the first time. The impression which you create upon others on meeting them is governed by the Axis Number.Each of the numbers of the magic square is associated with a particular kind of ki energy.This information can help you chart your ki energy for each year,month,day and hour.The year having the greatest influence.As an example if you have the year ki number 1 which is connected with northern water energy your nature will be gentle like water and you will be more reserved ,secretive and spiritual.It would be advisable to build your career slowly like a brook steadily moving into a powerful river.
A 9 Star Ki Astrology reading thus makes one aware of his / her attitudes and his / her response to different situations. This will not only help us become better individuals but also helps us understand our friends and relatives much better than ever before.

This touching family film will charm viewers of all ages. Emily Lindstrom, 14, is an aspiring concert violinist; she's spending the summer practicing for a big audition while her girlfriends are at camp. She's also got a thriving neighborhood business: for 50 cents, she'll keep your secret.
Her mother is very pregnant, and her parents seem more concerned about the new baby than anything Emily cares about. A new family moves in next door; their son, Philip, 12, becomes Emily's friend. Eventually, the weight of Emily's secrets - her own, the ones she's keeping professionally, and a secret Philip tells her, send her life temporarily crashing down.
A movie with a good lesson. Enjoy this.

My Three Sons arcades, party and pizza reviews. Ever been in this place? Write your review and share your experience.
It was our first time there. This place has been around for over 2 decades. Towards the back it smells a little yuck. The carpet seems old ( kids keep on shoes). My daughter is 2 & a half so she did not mind this at all but as a parent i noticed. Saying all that she had a GREAT time and so we will be back. She ate her snacks there ( we provided) no one said anything. I noticed they do sell pizza,nuggets, wings etc there. Parties are being ran which is fine. They also have a bouncy area where shoes must come off. Overall my daughter had a great time.
Just threw a birthday party for my son here, the service was great I didn't have to lift a finger. The kids had alot of fun as well. Amazing staff.
Beyond impressed with this arcade, my grandchildren cannot get enough of this place we come almost every weekend. The new swipe card system is awesome, a lot easier to keep track of tickets and save extra points if we don't use them all. This place just keeps getting better every time we go!
Awesome place to go! So much fun for the whole family! My 8 year old had such a great time playing in the arcade, playing mini golf & laser tag! Would recommend this place to anyone that's going to be in the area & looking for an idea for a family outing, or even a birthday party! I have done birthday parties here for a couple of years in a row now and the staff is very friendly, engaged with the children, and always well organized. Generally all of the amusements are in good working order and they add more every year. The laser tag is one of the most fun I have played. Before we even leave, my son is asking when we will be back again!
Looking for a fun place to spend a day with the kids? This is the place to go! They have a wide variety of games and activities for kids of all ages! The flow in the dark mini golf was so much fun! I was also surprised how great the food was! Unlike the bowling alley or other arcade centers their food was top notch! I will definitely be back again!
I really enjoyed coming here for my little sister. She had so much fun, with the bounce house, laser tag, arcade games. She also liked the food, and she's a picky eater. The staff was very polite and patient with the children especially since they had another party going on as well.
A great place for kids with a safe and friendly environment! We came for my son's friends birthday party and my son absolutely loved it... especially the mini golf which was really cool!!! I was very impressed with the friendly service and can't wait to have my son's next birthday party here!
My kids love this place. Great games, courteous staff and great ownership. They go above and beyond for your kids birthday parties at an affordable price. Highly recommended.
My kids love coming here.. they have a new glow in the dark golf course.. there pizza is pretty good. I just wish they had more arcade games.
My grandson had his birthday party there. The kids enjoyed the different games. It was a nice day.
Had a great time with the granddaughter. The staff were so helpful. We played laser tag and mini golf. Then the arcade. Fabulous fun!
Old school. Four stars if you like ticket arcades, one of you don't. ++ games work! Nice staff. - - nothing for kids over 8 or so.
This place never gets old! Always a good time for kids here, and their pizza is pretty good too!!
My kids love it. They keep renewing the games and the staff is very kind. If you have a problem with a machine they will fix it and reward you.

I think it's safe to say that we are all wrestling fans. There are only so many things that we haven't seen in one way or another and that can cause some feelings of being jaded every now and then. Of course the same stories are going to come up every now and then because there are only so many ways you can tell a variation of the same story over and over again. Wrestling companies can try to mix things up a bit, but what happens when the whole thing stops making sense unless you give the stories a heck of a lot of leeway?
That's where it seems that we are now with the brand vs. brand vs. brand Battle Of The Matching T-Shirts. I know the story makes sense when you look at all of the parts, but how many parts do you have to look at to really make it work? That was on full display this week on Monday Night Raw and the previous SmackDown, which is where everything starts to fall apart. Today we're going to take a look at the big picture of the whole thing and why the thing is WAY more complicated than it needs to be.
So what is the big idea of the whole situation? Well in short, it would be the idea of the three shows fighting it out to see which one is the best. What makes them the best? Well in this case that would be something as simple as winning….and that's where it starts to fall apart. There are going to be several interpromotional matches on Sunday and in theory, the show with the most wins is crowned the victor. Now the fact that there are five interpromotional matches and three brands might make this seem a little more difficult than it is, but that's just because they didn't really think this through.
This, but on pay per view:
For the sake of argument, let's say someone does win three matches and is considered the best. Well which matches did they win? Are you considered the best brand if your tag team, midcard and non-champion women win their matches? That's what passes for the best promotion of the three? If that's the official way they're determining the best, I supposed it's good enough to make sense, but I'd certainly call that one a flimsy definition at best.
So now we have a winner. And their grand prize is…..bragging rights! Yes they now get to call themselves the best brand while both brands get to move on with nothing else really changing for them, because as is the case every year: the battle for brand supremacy begins in late October and is forgotten about by December at the latest. That has been the case with the two brand version and it is going to be the case with the three brand version as well.
That's one of the biggest problems for this whole thing: there is no prize for the winners or the winning team, other than bragging rights for their brand. Maybe that means something in NXT's case, but why would SmackDown or Monday Night Raw care even slightly about being better than the other show? They are not in direct competition with the other except for one night a year (and on Saudi Arabia shows, the Royal Rumble, probably Tribute to the Troops and various other special occasions but we'll still call it once a year because it makes for easier marketing) so what difference does it really make?
It isn't hard to come up with a prize for the winners. The survivors on the winning side get title shots. The winning brand gets the #30 entrants in the Royal Rumble. Maybe they get to select some wrestlers to join their brand. These ideas aren't hard and they aren't difficult to figure out. Instead, they get bragging rights and a trophy, which is likely to be broken. Why not just give them some big fake check while you're at it? This shouldn't be hard, but WWE would rather take the complicated route with no prize of note included because….well that's as good as they're willing to come up with for the thing.
Or just do dream matches like this:
Then there is the other problem with brand supremacy: regarding Monday Night Raw and SmackDown, why in the world should the wrestlers care about which show they were on? The rosters were literally put together by unnamed executives about six weeks ago. Why should Seth Rollins care that much about Monday Night Raw or Roman Reigns about SmackDown? It is a case where the main answer is "because the script says so" and that is not something that is going to draw in so much interest.
Then you have the matches themselves. With all of the champions in the triple threats and the rest of the wrestlers in the triple threat elimination matches, you don't have a lot of room to maneuver. You have forty five wrestlers in five matches, none of which are going to be a singles or even a regular one on one match. That is something that is going to lose its charm in a hurry, if nothing else due to how long we are going to spend on entrances alone during the show.
Finally, and quite possibly the most important of all, is how confusing this must be for fans who have not been paying watching the shows as of late. Something as big as the NXT invasion should be used to draw in fresh fans who have not been around in a long time. Well now you have to explain all of these things and throw the fans into the deep end straight out of the gate.
This isn't something that is way too complicated to explain, but it is more complicated than it needs to be. They really can't just set something that is simple, to the point, and lets the wrestlers wrestle? Or at least lets Monday Night Raw and SmackDown remember that they are supposed to be fighting each other more than a week before the show is taking place (Was it just me or did it seem that Monday Night Raw and SmackDown were fighting off NXT instead of the three way feud it was supposed to be?). It's a big problem when you are promoting the show as one idea and then executing a completely different situation.
Then again it can be this great:
It isn't like making the Brand Supremacy battle matter is all that complicated but for some reason WWE has managed to turn it into such a mess that it is more interesting to poke holes in everything they are doing than actually keep track of the story. There have been some cool moments in there but I would much rather have something that cuts out all the nonsense and builds up the individuals a little bit more.
Maybe someone doesn't care about the brand but is fighting for something else. Maybe there is a prize for the winner/winners. Maybe the brand gets something for beating the others. Maybe the worst of the three has to give up something. Maybe there is some kind of a personal situation. Any one of the these things could be elaborated on and turned into something worthwhile but instead we are getting the overly complicated version that we have seen in two brand form for years.
Survivor Series is going to be a solid show. With all of the talent that they have on the card, that is almost a guarantee. However, it is also going to be a show that could have been built up better had it not been the same story (albeit with three teams instead of two) that we have literally seen for years now. This has been all we've seen for years now and it would be nice to have something different. If that isn't in the cards, at least make the story something that could draw some fans in. I'm not sure how much longer WWE can survive without them.

Today marks the day that I'm officially stepping out of the closet...the infertility closet. It's a subject that isn't always the most comfortable to talk about but I finally feel strong enough to share our story (with Andrew's consent, of course) and where we are in the journey for children. There's a lot of vulnerability… Continue reading Stepping out of the Closet.


In reflection, I realized that, technically, I am always writing. Even if it's just a line I eked out while cooking dinner. Or images I jot down while watching Judge Judy or some magnificent thought comes to me during a Netflix binge. So I had to feel my way through the various kinds of writing I do.
When I am Writing, it is from an idea that came to me that I now get to nurture into something. I have been pulled in by the unconscious and I'm going. I'm on the journey—it's me and this thing and I'm free to express. Something about that Writing feels private and intimate, it isn't concerned with audience or how it sounds or if it's understood. It is shaping itself into form and I'm being fulfilled deep down from a joyful source. This Writing makes me feel connected, like I took root, plugged in and now I'm energized.
Lately, I've been in what I would define as a not-writing period. With managing my teaching load, a gig to write a children's book in verse, this is the not-writing where my writerly output is satisfying the needs of someone or something else that has little do with my inner creative desires. And this isn't a "good" or "bad" thing; it is what is.
For instance, the children's book I'm co-writing meets a desire of mine. I've wanted to try my hands writing for children. This particular project requires research on the life of Biddy Mason, who was born a slave in Georgia, petitioned for her freedom in California, and later became a wealthy landowner in Los Angeles. Much wasn't written about her earlier life as a slave, and writing verse for a lower 4th grade reading level has presented hair-pulling challenges. These rhetorical restraints force me to employ a whole other set of skills that I don't often use. I'm encountering a new writing persona of mine, and I'm self-conscious about her presence, unsure how she functions, fear that she will fail. The risks involved don't make writing a safe and free space. In this case, the writing is public, the content is based on a historical figure, there is an intended audience and the writing must meet their needs.
In these moments when I'm going and going, and not much time for myself, watching movies is like a vacation. It's how I bring pleasure back into my life—the indulgence in a good movie, or drama series, with my favorite bag of chips and the company of my wife is restorative. This also goes for making a meal, after picking out the ingredients in the market, or hanging out with friends, dissecting the word play on Battle Rap. The not-doing makes it possible to do later. Most important, the not-doing allows you space to see yourself more clearly.
Revision is another one of my pleasures during my not-writing periods. To return to pieces that I once thought were blah—my current feeling toward the new stuff I'm writing—with a pair of fresh eyes, I better see its potential and can work my craft to bring about it's life. Revision quiets the inner critic who pesters me about writing more and hates on the quality of what I do produce. Revision says to that doubting, self-conscious self, that I, the writer will not abandon you.
During this shift in my relationship to time, I'm wondering how to access that "in-the-pocket" feeling I get when I'm with my writing, uninterrupted. How can it happen on the Bart ride from Lake Merritt to Daly City? From Oakland to Sunnyvale? For an eight-hour day? Then there is the practice of returning to a piece each time—how to start again and again? This habit of seeing myself has been invaluable. Noticing my behaviors, my responses and seeing how my series of actions contribute to what I put forth in the world, gets me comfortable with the writer I need to be when I can't retreat.
I'm better at letting it be. Not stressing out on what I should, could or would be doing if…. Realizing that each of these different kinds of writing is keeping me in shape. I'm challenged to integrate my poetic voice in my prose, dramatic writing, essays, because without it, my writing lacks truth. It doesn't have a center and the primary sound from which my voice builds. This broadens my definition of poet and acclimates me to knowing my voice in other ways so its timbers do not intimidate me.
Angular, smart, and fearless, Arisa White's newest collection takes its titles from words used internationally as hate speech against gays and lesbians, reworking, re-envisioning, and re-embodying language as a conduit for art, love, and understanding. "To live freely, observantly as a politically astute, sensually perceptive Queer Black woman is to be risk taker, at risk, a perceived danger to others and even dangerous to/as oneself," writes poet Tracie Morris. "White's attentive word substitutions and range of organized forms, lithe anecdotes, and disturbed resonances put us in the middle of living a realized, intelligent life of the senses." You're the Most Beautiful Thing That Happened works through intersectional encounters with gender, identity, and human barbarism, landing deftly and defiantly in beauty.
Arisa White is a Cave Canem fellow, Sarah Lawrence College alumna, an MFA graduate from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and author of the poetry chapbooks Disposition for Shininess, Post Pardon, and Black Pearl. She was selected by the San Francisco Bay Guardian for the 2010 Hot Pink List and is a member of the PlayGround writers' pool; her play Frigidare was staged for the 15th Annual Best of Play Ground Festival. Recipient of the inaugural Rose O'Neill Literary House summer residency at Washington College in Maryland, Arisa has also received residencies, fellowships, or scholarships from Juniper Summer Writing Institute, Headlands Center for the Arts, Port Townsend Writers' Conference, Squaw Valley Community of Writers, Hedgebrook, Atlantic Center for the Arts, Prague Summer Program, Fine Arts Work Center, and Bread Loaf Writers' Conference. Nominated for Pushcart Prizes in 2005 and 2014, her poetry has been published widely and is featured on the recording WORD with the Jessica Jones Quartet.
Thanks so much for being on the blog tour for this one. I'm looking forward to your review of this collection.
I always love to hear about authors' writing processes - if for no other reason than to see how they are all so very different.


hii this is my first tribute page very simple and basic. would appreciate any feedback.
It looks really nice. You forgot to remove the Wikipedia citation  in the first paragraph, and you seem to be missing an 'I' at the last paragraph.

Addressing the world's toughest problems requires more than the brilliance and benevolence of a few; it requires the leadership and collaboration of many. The SHARE Investor Summit 2020 is a one-of-a-kind gathering that will give you the chance to join investment decision-makers and leaders from pension funds, foundations, Indigenous communities, trade unions, faith-based groups, universities, civil society, and investment management firms to find common ground and ways of working together to build a sustainable, inclusive and productive economy.
Under the banner of The Power of Many, the Summit offers a timely, thoughtful and action-oriented agenda over three days where leaders will gather to identify allies, design solutions and amplify investor voices to address key issues including: the climate crisis and just transition, inequality, the future of work and reconciliation. The first day of the Summit will offer educational sessions for pension trustees, foundations and Indigenous trusts.
Our Vision of a Sustainable, Inclusive and Productive Economy
A sustainable, inclusive and productive economy is one where there are opportunities for people of all backgrounds and experiences to live with dignity, support themselves and their families, and contribute their talents. It is an economy that supports and regenerates the health of the systems upon which it depends, especially the earth's ecosystems. It is an economy where prosperity is broadly shared, especially for historically marginalized groups. It is an economy that builds on the strength, resilience and worldviews of Indigenous peoples. It is an economy that puts capital to work delivering better outcomes for societies rather than societies working to reward financial capital. Building this kind of economy requires us to deploy all available tools and to shift power.
Investor action on its own will fall far short from achieving the change we need, but not mobilizing the trillions of dollars held by asset owners in Canada and globally will most certainly guarantee our failure.
The summit will explore different strategies for investor action including asset manager accountability, impact investing, investor collaboration, shareholder engagement, proxy voting and litigation, to name a few. In addition to looking across different responsible and impact investing strategies, the summit will delve deeper into four cross-cutting themes.
Global Challenges, Investor Responses
Our communities, our societies and our economies are facing unprecedented challenges. The global climate crisis, growing inequality and disruptive business models will impact our investment portfolios and the lives of the beneficiaries and stakeholders our investment funds, endowments and trusts are built to serve. The Summit will provide participants with opportunities to better understand these challenges, hear case studies on how others are addressing them and think about practical ways to build solutions.
Corporate Governance: Emerging Themes, New Business Models
Building a sustainable, inclusive and productive economy requires a hard look at the structures, norms and incentives at the center of how businesses are organized and governed. This theme will explore the latest thinking in corporate governance related to compensation, taxation, diversity, and stakeholder governance as well as the opportunities that exist in the development and growth of new business models.
Leveraging Power in the Investment Chain
Although asset owners such as pension funds, foundations, universities and Indigenous trusts sit at the top of the investment chain, their trustee boards and investment committees often struggle with establishing adequate oversight and evaluation of asset managers, particularly on their responsible investment efforts. This stream will look at efforts to build governance models that align asset manager practices with asset owner interests in Canada and globally, including efforts to promote higher standards of transparency and accountability.
Defining an Investor Agenda on Reconciliation
Investors have an important role to play in supporting the rights of Indigenous peoples and contributing to economic reconciliation through their investment policies and practices. This thematic area will explore opportunities for Indigenous and non-Indigenous investors to collaborate in ways that will contribute to economic reconciliation and the creation of a robust and resilient Indigenous economy in Canada.

I spend an unhealthy amount of my time walking around strange places with a piece of paper suspended from my neck by a lanyard, courtesy of all of the conferences on my schedule. A partial selection from the last 12 months: CES, CTIA, Demo, Google I/O, IFA, Mobile World Congress, ONA, SXSW, Tech Policy Summit and TechCrunch Disrupt.
Tell other people who we are.
Store relevant information we'd need to know throughout the event.
Give us a place to stash business cards.
And yet. At most conferences, you'll immediately see people whose badges have anonymized their wearers by flipping around to show the reverse side. You can fix this by printing the same information on both sides of the badge (see, for instance, SXSW), but it's easier to have the lanyard attach to both sides of the badge instead of leaving it dangling from the center (something Macworld badges got right).
The design of the front of the badge should also be easy to solve, but many events botch that job too: first name in large type, last name in smaller type, organizational affiliation. Adding your city and Twitter handle helps but isn't always essential.
What about the back? Too many badges just leave this valuable real estate blank. At a minimum, it should list the event's WiFi network and, if necessary, password. And if the schedule is compact enough to fit on one page, why not add that as well? But if that requires turning the badge into a booklet–like at last year's I/O–you should think about just posting the schedule in a lot of places around the venue.
Some badges now embed NFC tags. At this year's I/O, for instance, tapping mine with my Android phone opened up a link in the Play Store to Google's I/O attendee app; when event staff did the same, their phones would bring up my registration information. That's not a bad feature to have, but don't make it mandatory to participate in some parts of the event.
Finally, what contains the badge? The multiple-pocket, wallet-esque badge holders some events provide are overkill–too big, too many spots to misplace a card or a receipt–and usually eliminate the informational utility of the reverse side. A simple clear vinyl holder should provide sufficient room to hold a bunch of business cards to hand out to other people.
Thank you for your attention to this, event planners of the world.

Thompson Divide effort will get a boost from ex-Patagonia CEO
Scott Condon
scondon@aspentimes.com
The CEO of outdoor clothing giant Patagonia said he will step down Friday to spend more time with his family in Carbondale, pursue outdoor adventures and increase efforts to prevent gas drilling in Thompson Divide.
Casey Sheahan has been commuting from Carbondale to Ventura, Calif., for eight of the nine years while at the helm of Patagonia. The company has experienced significant growth under his team's leadership. Sales are up $400 million and profits have tripled, he said.
Sheahan, 58, said he's leaving the company on great terms. Rose Marcario, who was part of his team as COO and CFO, will become president and CEO. Sheahan said it's simply time for him to move on to other pursuits.
"I think if you're honest, CEOs have an expiration date," he said.
"There are already 10,000 wells on the west side of Garfield County. Do we need any more on the east side? I don't think so."
Casey Sheahan
CEO, Patagonia
And he leaves at a young enough age to continue pursuing outdoor adventures — from riding mountain bikes in the desert around Moab, Utah, to fishing for Atlantic salmon and hiking around Jackson Hole, Wyo., where his family has a ranch. He labeled himself "a rabid fisherman." The Roaring Fork Valley will be the base for it all. Sheahan and his wife, Tara, have two grown sons who enjoy the Colorado outdoors we well.
"Carbondale has everything," Sheahan said. "The climate is fantastic." The opportunity for outdoor activities is amazing and the natural environment is special, he said.
Sheahan said he wants to keep it that way. He has spoken against gas drilling in Thompson Divide during public meetings in Carbondale. His family participated in a blood test to get baseline data to compare in the future to see if air pollution from gas drilling in western Garfield County is affecting the health of residents.
"I will now have the time to dedicate myself to it," Sheahan said of the Thompson Divide activism.
The area is too special to allow even exploratory drilling, as Houston-based S.G. Interests has proposed, he said. The stakes are too great, according to Sheahan. Gas drilling and hydraulic fracturing would pose a risk to water supplies used for everything from growing organic foods in the region to providing drinking water to cattle and maintaining healthy ecosystems in the drainages, he said. For that reason, he sees protection as a non-partisan issue that should unite everyone from ranchers to mountain bikers and from hunting outfitters to workers at tourist-dependent businesses in the Roaring Fork Valley.
"I just think this is one of the last great places that has to be protected," he said.
Sheahan said he will continue to press the point that he has made at earlier public meetings. "There are already 10,000 wells on the west side of Garfield County. Do we need any more on the east side? I don't think so," he said.
Thompson Divide is a 221,500-acre expanse of federal lands west of Highway 13 in the Crystal Valley. The divide stretches from near Sunlight Mountain Resort outside of Glenwood Springs to McClure Pass.
The Bureau of Land Management has issued 61 leases covering 105,000 acres. It includes 88,100 acres in Pitkin County.
Two companies, SG Interests and Ursa Piceance LLC, are working on applications to drill exploratory wells. They have applied to extend the period in which they can hold their leases, which typically is 10 years.
Carbondale-based Thompson Divide Coalition is heading efforts to prevent additional land from being leased and to buy out the existing leases. Wilderness Workshop is also aggressively pressuring the BLM and Forest Service to prevent drilling in Thompson Divide.
Sheahan said he will offer assistance to both organizations by introducing them to his contacts. Patagonia is known for supporting sustainable causes and has established itself as an environmental leader over the past four decades. Sheahan also will offer his direct aid to the Thompson Divide cause.
"I'm happy to roll up my sleeves and get involved," he said.

(Updated) Pat Miletich Announces LFA Has Fired Him, After Attending Capitol Protests
Pat Miletich (photo via LFA / YouTube)
By FCF Staff
After attending January 6th protests in Washington D.C., UFC Hall of Famer Pat Miletich has announced he's been let go by the Legacy Fighting Alliance.
Miletich made the announcement via an Instagram post, which has seen been deleted.
According to a report from MMA Junkie, here is some of what Miletich had to say in the post.
"I just got a call from the folks at the LFA, and they informed me that they were getting a lot of pressure because I was at the Capitol, and I want you guys to know that the people who I walked with at the Capitol, none of them that I know of were involved in any of the violence."
"The LFA was getting a lot of pressure, and they felt they needed to distance themselves from me," he later added. "I understand their position."
Five people reportedly died as a result of the ensuing, violent storming of the U.S. Capitol building, including a police officer.
Update: in a follow-up statement to MMA Junkie, LFA President Ed Soares communicated the following:
"First and foremost, the LFA supports the participation of the constitutional right to peaceful protest. During preparations for the 2021 debut broadcast, it was brought to the LFA's attention that photos of questionable nature surfaced on various social media outlets involving fight analyst Pat Miletich. While the LFA continues to investigate the situation, the decision was made to remove Mr. Miletich from broadcast duties for this Friday's LFA 97 event."

I am somewhat officially a writer. Between the blog, my other website, and the book I am working on, the vast majority of my 'working hours' are spent tippy-typing at my keyboard. It just so happens that one of the tell-tale signs of a 'true writer,' besides a penchant for the dark liquors, is the lack of coin to pay for such drinks. In this sense, I am very much keeping it real. Recently, it occurred to me that in order to 'monetize my life' it would be necessary to tell people how they could help me.
And it is so damn simple. You don't have to spend a cent on me, specifically.
Here is how it works. First, you wait until you need something from Amazon. Take your time. No pressure. Wait til you need something. I'll be here. When you do, all I ask is that you click through one of my Amazon links, like this one, and then shop for whatever goodies you need . . . want . . . have to have. I, for directing your purchasing power in Amazon's direction, get a small percentage of those sales. Go wherever you want on the Amazon site, it doesn't matter. I get a cut regardless. Pretty sweet right!
It really is WIN WIN WIN, Michael Scott approved. You get what you need while simultaneously helping out a friend for providing comedic commentary to your life. Amazon sells stuff, and I get some scratch. So, in case you missed it above, here is another one of those Amazon links that you can use to help me out.
Thanks everyone. I will try to be less annoying real soon.
