Bull Terrier Puppy Pictures : have a look need we say more?
Bull Terrier Puppy Pictures: I don't normally devote whole pages to one dog but we received these cute puppy pictures of 'The Guinness', I'll let the pictures and owners comments do the talking.
My deaf Bullie The Guinness, I.B.D.
We started sending emails to breeders to see if we could get another one but had not decided anything. Then we got an email from a breeder near Kingston, Ontario. She had discovered that one of her recent little of pups was deaf and instead of destroying the little guy (he was the runt of the litter, too) she told us that we could have him if we came and got him (for free!) and sent us a few pictures of him.
Thank you so much for sending in picture of your bull terrier puppy, it's so nice to see that there are kind people like yourself willing to give dogs like The Guinness a good home.
The funny thing about dogs with slight deficiencies is that they turn out to be the most wonderful pets of them all and provide more to the owner then could be imagined, he looks like a great dog!

I hope you enjoyed these terrific Bull Terrier puppy pictures as much as we enjoyed posting them.


What is FESPA? FESPA is a federation of trade associations and an organiser of exhibitions and conferences for the screen and digital printing industry. Formerly, the name FESPA stood for 'The Federation of European Screen Printers Associations'. Now, with the advent of digital technology, FESPA is known by its acronym, which has worldwide recognition. FESPA's objective is the promotion of screen printing and digital imaging through each of the 28 separate National Associations in Europe who are its members, together with its 6 Associate members associations in Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea and Thailand. When and Why was FESPA formed? FESPA was formed in 1962 by a small international group of screenprinters and suppliers to share knowledge on screenprinting technology, establish close co-operation between screenprinters and suppliers and promote screenprinting in Europe. What does FESPA do now? - Plans and promotes exhibitions and conferences for screen and digital printing and helps its National Associations by supporting projects and activities organised by them. Having organised many successful exhibitions in Europe, in December 2005, FESPA organised FESPA World Expo India, at Pragati Maidan Exhibition Centre, New Delhi, which was the first international exhibition for screen and digital printing in that region and will hold FESPA World Expo Asia Pacific in Bangkok, 27-29 November 2008. In May 2006, FESPA organised a new pan-european event FESPA Digital Printing Europe which focused on emerging digital technologies in the areas of sign and graphics, textiles, white goods, glass ceramics, electronics and home furnishings at the RAI Exhibition Centre in Amsterdam, 16th-18th May 2006, RAI, Amsterdam. Following the immense success of this initial event, the second FESPA Digital exhibition will be held in Geneva, 1-3 April 2008. Official statistics from FESPA 2007 held in Berlin, Germany, from 5th – 9th June confirmed that this was the biggest FESPA exhibition ever held. The exhibition succeeded in breaking all previous records. FESPA once again confirmed its unrivalled position as the world's largest trade show for screen and large format digital printing, at which over 661 exhibitors showcased their products. A record total of 24,232 individual visitors attended the five-day show, an increase of 20% on FESPA 2005 figures. A significant proportion of visitors returned to the halls on consecutive days, resulting in over 37,500 visits. An additional 9,000 exhibitor attendees, who are not included in the audited visitor numbers, were present at FESPA 2007. Demonstrating FESPA's growing reach as an international event, visitors came from over 125 countries. Just over 60% of visitors came from outside of Germany, and after the host nation, the top five countries in terms of visitor nationality were as follows: Italy, Poland, Netherlands, United Kingdom, and Spain. Reflecting the growth in Europe's emerging markets, visitors from Eastern European countries represented 12% of the show's overall attendance. Visitors were able to experience many brand new products and developing technologies at the show, indicating once again that FESPA exhibitions present manufacturers with a perfect launch pad and route to market, enabling them to achieve maximum impact among their target audiences. Exhibitors were impressed not only with the volume of traffic to their stands, but particularly with the international profile of visitors and the attendance of decision-makers ready to make purchasing choices.

Frankfort is close to the Interlochen Center for the Arts and Crystalaire.
Father Jacques Marquette, one of the first Jesuit missionaries to the Great Lakes Indians, may have died and been buried in Frankfort in May 1675. Very limited and inexact records make the death site a matter of considerable debate among historians. Frankfort is one of two locations attributed as the death site by the natives since the earliest settlers arrived in northern Michigan and one of at least two sites claimed by historians. In any case within two years the remains were taken to the church at St. Ignace and given a traditional Indian burial.
The land which was to become the City of Frankfort was recognized at an early date for its economic and commercial potential because it was nearly all purchased by the contractors who surveyed the land for the United States - - the Risdon family. The first known settler in Frankfort was Joseph Oliver who purchased the 14 acres (57,000 m2) between Lake Aux Becs Scies and Lake Michigan in 1852 and built a small cabin. Oliver was a woodsman who lived off the land: fishing, hunting, trapping and cutting timber. In 1855 a schooner owned by George W. Tifft of Cleveland was caught in a gale on Lake Michigan and driven before the wind. Imagine the surprise of Captain Snow when he found a previously little known river outlet and harbor which provided a safe refuge. Thus, Aux Becs Scies Lake was discovered by an outside investor, George W. Tifft, who purchased most of the land around and adjoining the lake (more than a thousand acres (4 km²) all together). In 1859 a company from Detroit owned by Ransom Gardiner, George S. Frost, and others purchased the Tifft lands and commenced development of Frankfort within the year. In September, Louis A. Doby moved to the area as agent of the developers with John H. Adams to oversee the work. They sent along a sawmill and A.S. Dow to manage that phase of the development. Descendants of the Dow family—founders of the Dow Chemical Company—are unaware of any relationship to A.S. Dow. Doby held a contract to dredge a new channel so the harbor would be available for navigation by all types of craft. He also constructed a building for the firm which served as a hotel and store. The first lot in the development near the west end of Forest Avenue was sold to William H. Cogshall. He built a large home for his family but his dwelling also served the fledgling community as a hotel and for religious and political meetings. The second lot, also at the west end of Forest Avenue, was purchased by Dr. Alonzo J. Slyfield, who served for 22 years as keeper of the Point Betsie Light House. Although the development had a promising start there was relatively little activity during the Civil War years. Virtually all of this early development took place in the area of First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Main Streets and Forest Avenue.
By 1867 the United States government recognized the importance of Aux Becs Scies harbor and commenced improvements. Doby's work from 1859 had completely disappeared and a channel was dredged at the south end of the strip of land dividing the two lakes. Shortly an enthusiastic newspaperman reported four to ten vessel arrivals a day and new settlers in droves. Stores were built and a large hotel, the Delbridge House, opened for business. A post office had been established in 1860 with Cogshall as postmaster but was eventually closed for want of business. This was reopened in 1867 with N.W. Nelson postmaster. Among the other early settlers were Jacob and Charles Voorhies, J.B. Delbridge, Dr. T. Harvey, and J.B. Collins who opened his drug store in 1869.
Although the initial opening of the harbor was in 1867 the work was actually ongoing for several years. By 1870 the channel was 200 feet (61 m) wide and had a south pier of 600 feet (180 m) while the north one measured 550 feet (170 m). A depth of about nine feet was maintained which allowed most of the vessels on the Great Lakes to enter the harbor. In 1873, the United States Lighthouse Service established the first pier head light to mark the entrance. In 1887 a United States Life Saving Station was established on the south side of the harbor. In 1934, as the United States Coast Guard, this station was moved to large new quarters on the Frankfort side of the channel. The original piers had been extended until they reached a length of 2,000 feet (610 m) in 1912. Between 1929 and 1932 the breakwaters were built to protect the harbor at a cost of over a million dollars and the old piers were reduced in length.
Crystal Lake Township was organized in 1859 and initially included all of the present Benzie County. The first Township meeting was held in the spring of 1860 at Frankfort in Doby's (the development company) store. The Benzie County government was organized by Public Act 385 of 1869 and local citizens set off in search of a county seat and a courthouse. After two elections, Frankfort was chosen and the Supervisors met in the community for the first time in April 1870. Although the first session was held in the Saterlee Hotel later sessions were held in a two story commercial building on the corner of Second and Main Streets. However, in 1872 new elections were held and citizens of the county decided to move the county seat into the country side east of Benzonia. Frankfort contested the move and managed to retain the seat of government, at least in name, until 1876. Following another election in 1894, the county seat returned to the community and a large school building was converted to a courthouse. Although the matter was frequently debated the county seat remained in Frankfort until 1908 when citizens voted to move it to an abandoned church in the Village of Honor.
Frankfort has enjoyed a steady growth over the years and by the 1930s had reached a population whereby they could become a city. Accordingly, voters of the village elected to become a city of the fifth class on March 11, 1935, with 229 votes in favor and 127 against. There was no change in the boundaries of the original village.
Frankfort is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Gaylord.

To answer to these questions and more we spoke to Gary Malin (President) and Louise Schnaier (Sales Recruiting Manager) at Citi Habitats who were very kind to provide practical advice that any new agent can use.
What are the 5 most important evaluative criteria you look for when hiring a new agent?
The most important qualities are motivation, strong commitment, resilience, genuine interest in the field, the ability to learn quickly, flexibility and good communication skills. I wish that I could say that there is an easy formula but there isn't. Our successful agents come from a wide variety of personal and professional backgrounds.
What is the best way for a new agent to get the attention of a big real estate brokerage/firm in order to get interviewed and potentially hired?
Is having a degree in finance, fashion, or any other field an advantage for a new agent? Do you see agents performing better based on their previously acquired education?
Not necessarily although a background in sales and customer service can be useful in understanding the innate fluctuations of the real estate business.
Will it help a new agent to get license as a notary or appraiser? Will wearing several "hats" impact the agent in a positive or negative way?
Being an appraiser or notary isn't helpful. It's more important to focus on being really a good informed and knowledgeable agent.
What type of technology is an agent expected to be able to work with? What technology would you recommend new agents get familiar with before starting out?
In today's world, comfort with technology is crucial for any professional. Basic skills using Microsoft Office, photo editing programs, and the ability to learn how to use various user friendly databases and clients management systems are important.
Many new agents ask about a "finder's fee". Can you please shed some light on what are the best practices regarding the "finder's fee" and when should an agent use it and for what purpose?
DOS guidelines strictly prohibit offering a fee to a non-licensed real estate professional. The best way to earn referrals is by providing the best possible services.

PORT CARBON, Pa. -- A place hit hard by flooding last summer is in line for state grants to help rebuild.
Mill Creek runs right through the heart of Port Carbon just outside of Pottsville.
On this frigid January day, the water was moving at a normal rate, but back in August, relentless rain turned Mill Creek into a torrent.
"It's slowly coming back. We've made progress over the last several months, both the personal side and the community side. Everybody's coming together to make it what it is today, but we still have a little bit to go yet," said borough council member Chuck Joy.
Five months ago, Mill Creek overflowed, and vicious floodwaters ripped through this Schuylkill County borough. It was the second major flood since 2006, and recently prompted action on the state level.
Port Carbon received a $325,000 state grant to try to alleviate future flooding along Mill Creek.
"We're looking at doing as much as we can with the money we have to better the Mill Creek flow and to help reduce any possible future flooding," Joy said.
Newswatch 16 also spoke with a couple who has lived in the same house less than 100 yards away from Mill Creek for more than 40 years. This is the third time they've been affected.
"I hope we never have to go through it again. And this time was the worst. We lost our car, so we had to get a new car," Diane Krotine said.
Some say a project of this caliber should have been done years ago.
"(It) would've prevented a lot of this problem. This is the third time for us and our whole neighborhood. A lot of people in this neighborhood lost a lot more than we did. A lot of people lost their first floors. That's a lot of work, a lot of money lost there," Bob Krotine said.
Initial plans include strengthening the wall along the creek and removing sandbanks.

The Hypochondriac's Pocket Guide to Horrible Diseases by Dennis DiClaudio
Available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iBooks, Kobo, Google Play, Scribd, 24 Symbols, Mondadori, Angus & Robertson, and Indigo (Chapters)
The Hypochondriac's Pocket Guide to Horrible Diseases You Probably Already Have*
Do Not Read If You Like Medical Information to Be Serious
Like this author's book on mental disorders, this is a quirky combination of actual facts about unusual medical maladies with some very off-beat humor. If you prefer your information about anything to do with medicine to be serious, you'd be better off skipping this book. But if you don't mind a little humor with your knowledge intake, this is a surprisingly—if not somewhat scary—read. Most of the humor is in the diagnosis section of each malady, and of course, the cartoon pictures to go along with the diseases and syndromes are meant to be humorous. Although, I actually found some of them to be a little on the scary side! I am a registered nurse, and some information provided is actually spot-on accurate, which is surprising in a humorous book. The author has clearly researched all of these well, enough to both share accurate information and to lampoon the subject matter. The introduction states that this is a new edition; he has updated some straight-up information and played around with some humorous parts. If you don't mind a book that doesn't take medical problems too seriously, you might find yourself both amused and educated if you choose to read this book.
NOTE: From what I saw on Amazon, it appears as though the first edition is listed there, not this second. The cartoons are definitely different in the first edition; they appear to be historical art rather than modern-drawn cartoons as are in the edition I received.

Available at Amazon in paperback only
The Paranoid's Pocket Guide to Mental Disorders*
Somewhat Irreverent Guide to Offbeat and Typical Mental Disorders
As the title might suggest, this book is meant to be a lighthearted guide to some typical and rare mental disorders. I know; that seems like a strange concept. The author does address this in the introduction, where he states that he knows that mental disorders are a serious subject. He has written some other somewhat humorous books on difficult topics, like diseases and deviant behavior. When you actually start to read about the various syndromes within the book, over half of each disorder is actually quite serious. The causality and the treatment sections actually seem like solidly researched information about the actual disorder. It's only in the first parts of the section—namely the quiz, inner monologue, and diagnosis sections—that humor seems to reign. I actually found this combination of slightly silly parts and on-point parts along with sometimes rather bizarre cartoons to make for a fascinating read. I am an RN and have some experience dealing with mental disorders, so that may be why I found this to be a book I couldn't stop flipping through.

Book Simulator*
Odd Little Book!
I am a voracious reader, so I don't need a book simulator to make it look like I'm reading. Because I am actually usually… reading. The first part of the blurb made me almost give a pass to this book, but a line in the second part made me decide to give it a try. "While it pokes fun at various aspects of reading, it also celebrates the spirit of storytelling and encourages the exploration of future stories to come." As someone who loves to read, I thought I would see how this book would celebrate storytelling with humor. The book is definitely tongue-in-cheek and makes attempts at humor, but for me, these fell flat. I didn't really see any evidence about how this book celebrated anything, whether reading or storytelling. The book is certainly quirky and unusual, but it didn't quite do it for me.
Rejections from a Literary Agent by G. Randy Kasten

Rejections from a Literary Agent*
What If a Literary Agent Responded How They Liked
This book, if it isn't clear from the blurb, is a fictitious collection of query letters to a literary agent with a manuscript sample and a cranky agent's response (like may want to do but never gets done in the real world). It is meant to be a satirical look at the modern publishing industry according to the book description. Having been a writer, editor, and reviewer, I can say that I am of several minds of this book. There are parts of it that are amusing if you've ever dealt with rejection from an agent or publisher. Back in the last millennium, I actually did submit books to publishing houses, so I do understand what the process is like from that perspective. It is hard to get rejections. As an editor and reviewer, some items that the acerbic Ms. Ribbons brings up in her responses are truly problematic with books or with authors in the free-wheeling world of modern independent publishing. I would never be as abrupt and unkind as Ms. Ribbons, but I do understand some of her points. I think the book is overly repetitious; Ms. Ribbons could have made some other salient points instead of some of the same ones over and over. This book might be too much of an insider view for the general reader, but authors, future authors, or writers might be amused by parts of it (or unfortunately see themselves in it).
Mashed Myths by Mick Wannenmacher and Andrew Traucki

Mashed Myths*
Middle Grade Humorous Retelling of 6 Greek Myths
I may not be in the target age range of this book, but I found it a very fun and engaging retelling of six Greek myths. The drawings were whimsical, and the stories were told with humor and even a few gross-out moments. Now, if you're expecting the characters in these stories to talk like ancient Greeks, you will be sorely disappointed. But if you keep your mind open and have an appreciation for middle-grade humor, you might find this a very enjoyable read.
The First Village by Ian M. Evans
The First Village*
A Knight's Tale in Old Wales
If you look at the cover of this book, you might think that it is a serious work of historical fiction. It is anything but! In fact, it reminds me very much of Heath Ledger's movie A Knight's Tale in its approach to history. The author doesn't even attempt to use what some would think of as historical language, or any other sort of elevated speech. I'll admit my eyebrows lifted when I saw one character call another a "meanie." While the places and the politics of the novel are based in truth, the characters themselves are fictional. The story is about a cultural shift, when the Romans were leaving Britannia after having lived and ruled there for over 300 years. What does that mean for the soldiers, some of whom do not want to go back to a place they've never known and perhaps their families have never been from? What does that mean for all of the various tribes around Britannia, who often engaged in internecine battles before the Romans? There's also a romance at the heart of this book, and I found the couple to be an intriguing one to watch. This book is full of humor: slapstick, dry, and tongue in cheek. Again if you enjoyed the movie A Knight's Tale, you would most likely enjoy this book.
Mermaids Be With You by Jamie Brindle
Mermaids Be With You*
Funny Send-Up of the Fantasy Genre
If you ever thought that fantasy fiction takes itself too seriously with its world-defining quests and fickle kings and queens, you should read this series. It's like Monty Python meets Princess Bride. It clearly, and definitely, spoofs the tropes of the fantasy genre. From the offbeat names to the characters' quirky self-awareness to the strange situations the characters find themselves in, everything (and everyone) is up for ridicule and laughs in this book. I find the book is best taken in small doses. Trying to read it quickly will not allow time before they humor to mellow, and it might get to be a bit much. Some of the interior monologue and self-awareness of the characters is truly funny. The authors clearly enjoy lampooning this genre.
And, yes, tell me more about the Age of Gerbils!
If you're expecting serious fantasy when you download this book, you will be disappointed. Go into it knowing that it's firmly tongue-in-cheek, and let yourself just go along for the ride. If you do so, you will most likely enjoy the trip.
The Butcher by Nathan Burrows
Available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iBooks, Kobo, Scribd, Mondadori, and Angus & Robertson
The Butcher*
What a quirky story! I am familiar with this author, having read his first book, Blind Justice, and quite enjoying it. It's hard to imagine two more different stories, and it is to the author's credit that he can write a legal thriller and a dark comedy. Even though this is a comedy, the author still did seem to get under the characters' skins, giving enough detail so that the characters felt individual and real. They felt like people I could meet, though I'm not sure I'd want to.
Like other reviewers, I felt that the first part of the book was a little slow going. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing. I've read other British writers whom I like who do a similar slow build, layering events and showing nuances of character before we get to the real action. It's just rare today–a let's-get-to-it attitude being more common–so it seems usual. Once I understood what the author was doing, though, I was willing just to sit back, read, and trust that he was going to get me there. And the book did not disappoint.
I found myself wondering how accurate this book is about the way that food and restaurant inspection is done in England. My father was a health inspector in the United States over 20 years ago–so I've seen the process here up close–and I found Emily's time as a bumbling newbie health inspector interesting to watch. I have a feeling my dad would have related to some of it! I think he would have liked doing so few inspections, too! Also, oh, my goodness, the Pinch brothers! What an unusual way they found out of their situation. It was definitely a Fried Green Tomatoes moment. Parts of this book are laugh-out-loud funny, although, given the subject, you almost feel a little guilty doing so. Almost.
Whether he's writing a dark comedy or legal thriller, Nathan Burrows has such a command of the written word that his books are hard to put down.
Jacobites by Name by Sean T. Rassleagh
Jacobite by Name*
Speculative Fiction with a Heavy Dose of Political Satire
In this satire about near-future Scotland, that country is feeling the after-effects of Brexit and the wrath of the Tories, specifically a post-Brexit faction called the New Georgians. A shadow a group of scientists, the Guild, responsible for advances in cloning and quantum computing conspire with the Vatican to bring about another Jacobite rebellion.
Will this Jacobite uprising succeed? Or will the Tory plans for Scotland come to fruition?
As an American of Scottish descent who visited that area of Great Britain last year, I was intrigued by the concepts of this book when I read about it at a book review site I use. This book is definitely political satire with a healthy dose of wry, dark humor. I would also call it speculative fiction because of the Guild's work in furthering modern technology and its use. The book lacks a clear protagonist, which sometimes makes the book's many twists and turns hard to follow. The story is told from the perspective of an omniscient narrator in an almost detached, journalistic fashion, with a heavy emphasis narrative prose that tells more than shows. We are told of political events more than we see them happen in action. I think this book could have benefited from being shown through the dialogue and actions of a narrator-protagonist rather than being told by a narrator.
I did laugh at the line early in the book when the new Viceroy of Scotland's Tory faction is described thus: "If only they could restore the social structures of Georgian times, London could once again be the centre of a great empire spanning the globe. People said that Tories wanted to take the country back to the 1950s but in the Viceroy's view, that wasn't nearly ambitious enough. The 1750s would be ideal."

Speakers and attendees swapping stories on the show floor of BuildingEnergy 13 before joining a special alumni session of the BuildingEnergy Masters Series.
NESEA got its start in the late 1970s in Brattleboro, Vermont as the New England Solar Energy Association, a grassroots organization comprised of solar energy pioneers that advocated for renewable energy adoption. Its conference has known different names, different themes and venues through the years, but at all times, it was known as the place to be to get the pulse of the New England energy market. This was, in part, due to the multidisciplinary nature of the people it attracted. Says Unger of his early days with NESEA and BE "nowhere else have I found such a multidisciplinary group that demands honesty, competence and credibility from everyone." The organization and its conference grew and evolved through what could be called a "cycle of empowerment." As the renewable energy and green building fields grew, practitioners ran into challenges trying to do the best possible work. They asked tough questions and found answers – and kindred spirits – with NESEA connections, and through the conference they were able to educate and energize others who shared in their struggle and their commitment to building a sustainable future. This process of creating a conference by practitioners, for practitioners, means rigorous vetting of hundreds of ideas, and a fair share of "no's". But this distaste for greenwashing and preference for open, honest learning clearly works, as NESEA is gearing up to once again welcome 130 exhibitors and 3000 attendees to the Seaport World Trade Center.
This year's BuildingEnergy theme is Advancing Your Practice, and there will be plenty of opportunities to do just that. The conference offers over 80 fully accredited educational sessions and workshops on green homes, energy policy, sustainable building materials and green business. It will also feature a Keynote Address by architect Amanda Sturgeon, Program Director of the Living Building Challenge. Ms Sturgeon will be speaking on how to advance sustainable, accountable design into the next century. Other featured events include the presentation of the $10,000 Zero Net Energy Building Award and Student Design Competition Award Ceremony.
The energy and building markets are evolving rapidly. Now is the time to be paying attention to the issues, to build buildings and systems with purpose and integrity. Join NESEA in Boston for BuildingEnergy 2014.

Big Ten Commissioner Delany dismisses satellite camp issue
By RALPH D. RUSSOAssociated Press
The territorial dispute sparked by Big Ten football coaches such as Jim Harbaugh and James Franklin venturing into Southeastern Conference territory to take part in camps for high school prospects eventually will be settled by the NCAA.
IRVING, Texas — The territorial dispute sparked by Big Ten football coaches such as Jim Harbaugh and James Franklin venturing into Southeastern Conference territory to take part in camps for high school prospects eventually will be settled by the NCAA.
Whether it is resolved by committee or legislation remains to be seen, but the SEC has promised that if the NCAA does not shut down so-called satellite camps, there is a good chance Nick Saban, Les Miles and Gus Malzahn will be coming to your city to set up their own.
"I think you'd be surprised where our people will go," incoming SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey said.
Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany said he does not see a problem with his coaches' wandering ways.
"Coaches coaching at camps doesn't strike me as a bad practice," Delany said Wednesday. "There are some practices that are out there that are legal that are far more objectionable."
The FBS conference commissioners who make up the College Football Playoff management committee are meeting in the North Texas this week. With no major changes coming to the postseason, the leaders of major college football have been fielding questions on other topics from reporters. For a second straight year, satellite camps have become a springtime issue in college football.
NCAA rules allow football programs to hold camps on their campus, inside their state or within a 50-mile radius of campus, but coaches can guest coach at another school's camp — whether it's another FBS school or a Division III school or even a high school.
The SEC and Atlantic Coast Conference prohibit guest coaching, in part because they don't want their coaches treading on each other's turf.
Last year, Penn State's Franklin, who was at Vanderbilt before moving to State College, Penn., upset SEC coaches by bringing his staff to Georgia State as guest coaches. Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly followed suit, taking his staff south from South Bend, Ind.
Harbaugh, the new Michigan coach, this year upped the ante with an extensive satellite camp tour that will make nine stops in seven states, including Florida, Georgia, Alabama and Texas. To balance it out — and maybe have a little fun with his colleagues — Harbaugh invited every coach in the country to Michigan's camp in Ann Arbor.
Will any of SEC coaches take him up on it? "Mine's not," Auburn athletic director Jay Jacobs said with a smile.
Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby leads a conference that has no consensus within it on the issue. Oklahoma State has been holding satellite camps for years in Texas. Bowlsby also heads the new NCAA football oversight committee, which plans to tackle this issue and could make a recommendation to either close the door on satellite camps or swing it wide open.
If the door remains open, the SEC and ACC will walk through it.
"Our coaches had a very in-depth conversation in February," Sankey said. "Our coaches said we don't want to be engaged in more summer recruiting. We want a national rule. I think that's a responsible approach. If the door is not closed there's going to be a will on the part of our conference and others to engage in the same type of behavior on a national basis."
Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick is with Delany and has no problem with Kelly working on the Fighting Irish's national brand. Swarbrick also said trying to limit coach's ability to do satellite camps could run into legal issues.
"The NCAA does not have a very good track record of limiting, without losing antitrust lawsuit, economic opportunities for coaches. They should be treading very lightly," Swarbrick said.
Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said satellite camps have been a non-issue in his conference, but he will discuss it with his coaches at league meetings to try to come up with a consensus.
So for now this looks like a North vs. South issue, with the Big Ten on one side and the SEC on the other.
Delany wants to turn questions about satellite camps into a discussion about recruiting as a whole.
"I'm not against having a conversation I just don't think you can sort of look at the broad spectrum of recruitment and access and signing and oversigning and gray-shirting and early enrollment, without looking at the whole environment."
Delany said he is not looking for a fight.
"We recruit in the Midwest. We recruit nationally on the West Coast. We recruit in the Southeast. And we always have and we always will," he said. "Our schools have been recruiting the South for a hundred years. We're not going to stop recruiting the South."

When people upload images to their WordPress sites, they often blow through the process so quickly that they never realize half the things you can do with images. One of those things is cropping images right inside of the Media Library.
In this post, we'll go through how to do that.
You can get to the editing screen by one of two ways.
You can go through the Media Uploader as you normally do when you insert an image into your posts.
Just click on the image you want when the Media Library loads up, and then click "Edit" on the right-hand side.
Or you can go directly to the Media Library from your left side menu – Media > Library. In this case, once you find the image you want, hover over it and click "Edit." And then when the new screen appears, you'll need to click "Edit" again just under the image on the left.
Here's the second edit button.
Whichever way you choose, you'll come to the editing screen, which will look like this.
Right above the picture, you'll see a number of buttons that will allow you flip the image in a number of different ways.
For example, say I'd like to make the jellyfish in my image flip and go in the other direction. No problem.
Let's say I want to make my 1024px wide image above a 700px wide image. When I enter 700 into the left-hand "width" box, the system will automatically calculate the px in the right-hand "height box" in order to keep the proportions of my original image.
You can see below that when I entered 700px, the system automatically calculated 525px for the height value.
Once you click the "Scale" button, your image will take on your new dimensions. However, a new button will also appear, letting you restore your original image if you like.
In order to crop the image manually however you like, you simply click on the image, and then holding your mouse down, drag the box that appears.
You can move this box around and drag the edges to get it the way you want it. Once you have it the way you want it, click the top left-hand "Crop" button above the image, and this will crop your image.
Here's my newly cropped image. You'll notice that a lot of the top and bottom blue have been cropped out. It's also only 700px wide now.
Something else you can do is to set the aspect ratio of the manually created cut-out. For example, let's say you'd like your image to have a 16:9 aspect ratio. Simply put 16 and 9 in the aspect ratio boxes, and then before you click on the image and begin dragging your cut-out box, hold down the Shift key.
When you have it the way you like it, as above, click the "Crop" button in the upper left-hand corner above the picture as demonstrated in the previous step.
And that's it. While you certainly don't have all the advantages of a full-blown graphics program, if you need a quick edit, doing it right inside of WordPress itself is certainly an option.


Some 54% of the buildings on both of Dublin's prime retail streets are owned by property funds which equates to 64% of the retail space on Grafton Street and 71% on Henry/Mary streets.
This is according to new research from estate agent BNP Paribas Real Estate which points out that four Irish property funds – Irish Life, Iput, Prescient and New Ireland Assurance – own 41% of the combined building stock on both streets.
Irish Life owns the highest number of buildings on both streets (32, a figure which excludes joint ownership of two buildings), followed by Iput (13), Prescient (11) and New Ireland Assurance (7).
Other property funds with significant interest in these streets include IBI, Friend's Frist, Dekka and GLL.
On Henry/Mary streets there are only two vacant retail units: one recently vacated by Pamela Scott and the other a relatively small unit at the GPO buildings. This brings its occupancy rate up to 97%, too.
Retail rents have recovered considerably on both of Dublin's prime retail streets since they declined rapidly by between 50-60% in 2007-2012. Rents struggled at these levels until the end 2013, early 2014 but there has been clear and consistent evidence of considerable upside in the last 18 months, as the consumer economy recovers and demand from retailers increases, according to BNP Paribas.
Rental growth on Grafton Street has been more pronounced than on Henry Street, according to Eoin Feeney, executive director of retail BNP Paribas.
"Grafton Street rents are up by between 15-20% over the last 12 months. The recovery of rents on Henry Street has been slower to establish a pattern, with the stabilisation of rents being the main trend evidenced in the past two years.
A number of retailers have opened on Grafton Street over the past 12 months including Massimo Dutti, Lifestyle Sports and Claire's Accessories while Hugo Boss is due to open in the coming months. 45% of the retail space is occupied by department stores, Brown Thomas and Marks & Spencer.
New occupiers on Henry/Mary streets include Mango and Parfois. Joan Henry says the number of strong anchor department stores on Henry/Mary streets make it an "attractive location for other retailers with 63% of the retail space on the streets occupied by department stores".
According to the BNP Paribas research, Henry/Mary streets have the highest proportion of space occupied by department stores (Arnotts, Dunnes, Penneys, Debenhams and M&S) compared to other prime retail locations in Dublin. For example, just 25% of the total retail space in Blanchardstown Shopping Centre and 33% in Dundrum Town Centre is occupied by department stores.
Nineteen Grafton Street properties have changed hands in the past three years – that's 21% of properties on the street. The investment market recovery was led by German funds with Irish institutional investors dominant in recent quarters.
The most recent transactions on Dublin's prime retail streets took place during this quarter when Irish Life bought the so-called Sovereign Portfolio for €154 million. It included 7-11, and 85 and 86 Grafton Street, and 51 and 52 Henry Street. During the second quarter of this year 57-58 Grafton Street was sold for €19.2 million while number 30 made €6.5 million in Q2, 2014.

Wrestling With The Immigration Debate
Oliver Willis has a point here with the WWE's latest gimmick, where wrestler Jack Swagger and his Hannity-spouting manager Jeb Colter are the Gadsden Flag waving heels -- the bad guys being booed by crowds -- and "Mexican Millionaire" Alberto Del Rio is the face -- the good guy fighting to cheers.
On Monday's edition of WWE Raw, Colter and Del Rio had a debate about immigration that really could have been ripped right out of cable news. Colter again complained that undocumented workers were taking American jobs and weren't hard workers, while also whining about it being politically incorrect for him to refer to "illegals."
He was booed. Loudly.
Del Rio responded by describing America as "the greatest country in the world," which was the motivation for immigrants coming here to seek a better life for themselves.
This argument from Del Rio, coming from the Latino character in response to the right-wing xenophobe, was roundly applauded and prompted a "USA" chant in the arena.
In Texas.
(True to conservative form, Colter later complained that the moderator of his debate with Del Rio had shown… bias)
Sure, it's a silly, goofy, over the top fake wrestling show – but it is also an entertainment vehicle that historically has had its finger on the pulse of its audience, changing itself to pander to the cultural zeitgeist of the moment.
WWE boss Vince McMahon, a modern day P.T. Barnum (and husband to a failed Republican Senatorial candidate), tends to give his audience the heroes and villains needed to attract eyeballs and open their wallets. McMahon and WWE have discovered that a pro-immigrant hero attracts applause and cheers, while an anti-immigrant villain is laughed at and booed.
The character who would be right at home between The O'Reilly Factor and Hannity is the bad guy.
Maybe somebody should tell the Republicans.
Oliver's right here, Vince McMahon knows what sells (his wife as a teabagger Senator in Connecticut, not so much.) But it's a least a small sign that the times, they are a-changin'. No matter what the GOP says, the rest of the country is having a huge laugh at the expense of the teabaggers, and if the fans of the WWE are booing the GOP line on "illegals" and cheering for a Latino hero living la vida loca (what's more "American Dream" than that?) then that's at least one more brick coming down in the wall.
Welcome to 2013, GOP. Maybe someday you'll join us.

Well, my dear friend, here we are again, all ready for work, and plenty of work there is to do in the way of writing, making catalogues, blarneying &c. &c.
I received a letter from Thompson [sic] the other day. He said that you were at his place when he was away on vacation.
The latest yarn here is that Whistler is going to Rome to live!!
Lately I thought perhaps you might possibly have told some incautious friend that you were going to Rome or turning towards Rome, meaning that you were thinking of turning to the Roman Catholic religion! You [p. 2] may remember that you told me at Honfleur that you might do so some time. Of course I never thought of the matter again until this "going to Rome" was talked of. Indeed some one had it the other day that Whistler had gone to Rome! I presume you are in London or Paris yet, or at Lyme Regis giving the little shops a few finishing touches & finishing the beautiful half lengths of the girls so charmingly commenced. I have the memo. from Thompson of the Shipment of "Sarasate", which latter is in the Custom House.
John Caldwell was here to-day & says he does not care for a coat of arms for a book plate. The Coats of his people were without arms, he says, and what he wants is something [p. 3] of yours especially designed for a book plate. Make an etching, drawing, lithograph or painting. If you want a hint from him, make a corner of a library, in fact what you choose. Try and do this, please, as Caldwell is a very nice fellow and a great admirer of yours.
When you have anything you want to send over, give it to G. Lauser, but any thing large like the full lengths he has no room for, so you will have to go elsewhere.
I thought that I had sold your "Carmen" again for £300 /- /- and that I would surprise you with a cheque, but it seems people buy pictures nowadays to suit the [p. 4] spaces or lights in their houses. Later. The Sarasate has arrived all right. Nine hundred pounds net, I believe is your price for it (£900 /- /-).
No reply to my last. I suppose like Pat and the whisky [sic] or grog rather, you'll come to that by and bye. An Irishman was promised some grog by his employer if he could get a piece of work done in a given time. He got it done. He also got the grog. After taking a swallow of it, Pat turned and asked "did you put the whiskey or the wather [sic] in first"? "The whiskey of course". Pat tasted it again and "M'n'yum, nyum, maybe I'll come to the whiskey by and bye." Business is as dull as it can well be owing to the [p. 5] election business here.
Enclosed please find the memorandum of Riordan I spoke to you about and which you promised to reply to, to the best of your ability. It is an important work and Riordan is a good fellow so give him your kind consideration, and amiable attention. In short, answer his questions as best you can or will.
Your poor old ex-friend is gone - Du Maurier. So we go. Look out for J. McN. as I told you. None of that quasi rivalry of Succhi in the middle of the day, and smoke fewer cigarettes and dont drink such strong coffee. Wasn't it curious [p. 6] me having been so ill going to and coming from France? What a delightful companion for a sound light sleeper like you! Better luck next time.
How about that picture by Boxall?
I let a drop of ink fall on Riordan's letter. Please excuse.
The address is printed at the top of pp. 1, 3 and 5.

W. Boxall, Portrait of J. Whistler (z76). William Boxall (1800-1879), portrait painter, Director of the National Gallery [more], had been an old friend of the Whistler family. The portrait was owned for many years by William McNeill Whistler (1836-1900), physician, JW's brother [more]. The brothers may have considered selling it (Willie was chronically hard-up). Twice it was sent to Stephen Richards, for cleaning and for varnishing (see JW to Richards, 4 May 1893, #10718, and se also #08113). JW appears to have negotiated with his brother for possession of it (JW to D. D. Haden, #13491). JW later sent it to New York where Kennedy was planning to exhibit it (see Kennedy to JW, 22 November 1898, #07302). Eventually it came into JW's possession and passed from his estate to the University of Glasgow.

A: There is no libpthread.so on Android, all threading functions are handled by libc itself. It seems the RxTx library does not support the Android platform.
You can try porting it yourself or use another solution:

*

*Android Things API

*Android USB Host API

*RxTx Android port (warning: last update 2011)

*android-serialport-api (warning: last update 2011)

*usb-serial-for-android (last update 2016)

Chitwan farmers facing fertilizer scarcity
Published On: September 9, 2018 05:30 AM NPT By: Sabita Shrestha
CHITWAN, Sept 9: Sita Sunar, a peasant from Sharadanagar village, had to queue up for four hours to buy 10 kg of fertilizer. She lamented that she had been struggling to get some fertilizer for two months. "After four hours of wait, today I got it, but only 10 kg," she said.She started facing fertilizer woes right from she planted paddy in July.
Her paddy, planted in 16 katthas of land is going to go waste if she can't find adequate amount of fertilizer on time."Ten kg of urea is not going to solve my problem. I have to share my production with the owner as well. But it seems this time there would be no production," said Sunar.The field where Sunar has planted paddy is not her own. So, she has to share half of the produce with the owner, she explained.
Sunar is now short of 15 kg of urea. She needed 25 kg of the fertilizer. Scarcity of the fertilizer is a great hassle for farmers in this part. And this is the not the first time they are facing it. According to the district development office, paddy has been planted in 28,000 hectares of land in the district this time. But due to the lack of fertilizer, paddy production in the district is feared to go very low.
Salt Trading Corporation and Agricultural Inputs Company Limited (AICL) are responsible for fertilizer supply. However, they have not been able to provide enough fertilizer.
"We do not know why they make it so scarce. We are ready to pay money, we want to buy it, but why they don't have it in enough quantity?" asks Sunar.
According to Rabindra Gautam, chief of AICL the scarcity of urea is a nationwide problem. "We bring in urea from India. That is important in normal quantity throughout the year, but the demand goes very high during some seasons. And this creates scarcity," he said.

Berto Jongman: Amy Chua on Tribalism as Death of the American Empire
Berto Jongman
Revenge of the tribes: How the American Empire could fall
Yale professor Amy Chua has two precautionary tales for Americans, and their names are Libya and Iraq. "We're starting to see in America something that I've seen in other countries that is not good," says Chua. "We don't want to go there. We don't want to get to the point where we look at people on the other side of the political spectrum and we see them not just as people that we disagree with but literally as our enemy, as immoral, "un-American" people." Tribalism is innate to humanity, and it is the glue that holds nations together—but it's a Goldilocks conundrum: too much or too little of it and a nation will tear at the seams. It becomes most dangerous when two hardened camps form and obliterate all the subtribes beneath them. Chua stresses the importance of "dividing yourself so that you don't get entrenched in just two terrible tribes." Having many identities and many points of overlap with fellow citizens is what keeps a country's unity strong. When that flexibility disappears, and a person becomes only a Republican or a Democrat—or only a Sunni Muslim or a Shia Muslim, as in Iraq—that's when it's headed for danger. In this expansive and brilliant talk on political tribes, Chua explains what happens when minorities and majorities clash, why post-colonial nations are often doomed to civil war, and why you can't just replace dictators with democracy. Amy Chua is the author of Political Tribes: Group Instinct and the Fate of Nations.

Phi Beta Iota: Yale is a branch of the dark side of CIA, and the primary historical source of most of the mind-control (MKULTRA) research, today largely funded by the Department of Defense and seeking to subvert entire societies, not just individuals. Still, Yale was at one time the very best Ivy League university with a strong focus on morality, and we pray they may one day return to that exalted status of being righteous in the eyes of God.
Just as Washington's foreign policy establishment has been blind to the power of tribal politics outside the country, so too have American political elites been oblivious to the group identities that matter most to ordinary Americans – and that are tearing the United States apart. As the stunning rise of Donald Trump laid bare, identity politics have seized both the American left and right in an especially dangerous, racially inflected way. In America today, every group feels threatened: whites and blacks, Latinos and Asians, men and women, liberals and conservatives, and so on. There is a pervasive sense of collective persecution and discrimination. On the left, this has given rise to increasingly radical and exclusionary rhetoric of privilege and cultural appropriation. On the right, it has fueled a disturbing rise in xenophobia and white nationalism.

The CBSE has issued a warning to pupils in Classes 10 and 12 about phony notices regarding term 2 board test dates.
By Sakshi BharariWednesday February 2, 2022
CBSE term 2 board exam 2022: On social media, a bogus announcement about CBSE term 2 board exam 2022 dates is spreading.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued a warning to all Class 10 and Class 12 students about a bogus notice that is circulating on social media declaring the CBSE term 2 board exam dates.
The board authorities have labelled a phony notice in the shape of a circular dated January 24, 2022, claiming that CBSE classes 10 and 12 term 2 exams will begin on May 4, 2022, as misleading and false.
What does the false circular say about the CBSE term 2 test in 2022?
The CBSE told us about the bogus announcement regarding the Term 2 board-exam dates via Twitter, its microblogging site.
"The Class 10 and 12 board examinations will begin on May 4, 2022. (Wednesday). Similarly, schools would be permitted to conduct Class 12 Practical/ Project/ Internal Assessments from March 1, 2022 (Tuesday) to the last day of theory examinations for the same class "the phony notification was inserted
The bogus announcement stated, "Date Sheets for both Class X and Class XII would be published soon."
For the most up-to-date information on CBSE term 2 board exam dates and schedules, applicants should visit the official websites of CBSE at cbseresults.nic.in and cbse.gov.in. Students can also follow CBSE's official Twitter account.
Students from CBSE classes 10 and 12 turned to social media a few days ago to demand that the term 2 board exams be cancelled. Meanwhile, the CBSE term 2 exams are likely to take place in the months of February and March.

Medical Reasons To Invest In Botox - what can you do about dry patches of skin?
what can you do about dry patches of skin?
I have dealt with dry patches of skin all over my body for as long as I can remember. I had tried so many different products that were supposed to cure so many skin disorders and none of them seemed to work. I finally got some professional advice about what to do to eliminate those dry patches. I found out that there are oral supplements that I could take in combination with skin creams. After a month of following these changes, my skin has improved drastically. Visit my site to learn what methods have worked to eliminate the unsightly patches that kept me from wearing my favorite clothes.
A desire to appear youthful and vibrant has led to the popularity of Botox treatments to help get rid of fine lines and wrinkles. While Botox certainly has its aesthetic benefits, many people fail to realize that Botox injections can also serve valuable medical purposes as well.
Here are three medical conditions whose symptoms can be alleviated through regular Botox injections.
Experts estimate that some 10 million Americans battle with TMJ on a daily basis. This condition can be painful, and finding relief isn't always easy. When you have TMJ, the muscles responsible for operating the jaw become involuntarily clenched for long periods of time.
This clenching can lead to headaches, teeth grinding, and lack of sleep. Botox injections can help relax the clenched muscles associated with TMJ. Ask your doctor about the potential benefits of using Botox to help you manage your TMJ pain in the future.
If a significant portion of your upper gum is visible when you smile, you know how challenging living with a gummy smile can be. Not only are gummy smiles considered to be less aesthetically pleasing than traditional smiles, but an exposed upper gum can become dried out. A shortage of saliva can lead to the development of cavities, so treating a gummy smile to help prevent dried-out gums can be medically beneficial.
Botox injections can be used to help temporarily paralyze the muscles in the upper lip. This allows the lip to cover more of the gum line when you smile, helping you to better protect your dental health.
Those who suffer with chronic migraines know the debilitating effect these serious headaches can have on one's life. If you find that chronic migraines are forcing you to isolate yourself from the people and activities you once enjoyed, then investing in Botox injections to help you treat these migraines could be beneficial.
Since Botox has the ability to relax the muscles of the head and neck, these injections can dull the pain associated with future migraines by preventing the muscles from becoming tense when a headache hits. Treatment for migraines includes 31 Botox injections administered at seven targeted sites around the head and neck to help you find relief from your migraines in the future.
Using Botox as a way to help you maintain your health can be beneficial. If you have TMJ, a gummy smile, or suffer with chronic migraines, ask your doctor about the benefits of using Botox to alleviate your symptoms.

Well, in spite of that little inconvenience, Burdock still holds it's place as one of the most useful 'weeds' you can have in your yard. Here is just a sampling of the many benefits this plant boasts.
Again, partly due to its tonic effects on the liver and the liver's ability to break down hormones properly, Burdock has been used to help balance the hormones throughout the many phases of a woman's life, especially during menarche and menopause. According to Herbalist Rosemary Gladstar, Burdock was used by ancient herbalists for weak uterus and as a childbirth aid. Because of its high vitamin and mineral content, it is an excellent pregnancy herb.
Speaking of vitamins and minerals, Burdock is rich in many nutrients including folate (B9), riboflavin (B2), pyridoxine (B6), niacin (B3), vitamin E, and vitamin C. Additionally, Burdock is a good source of non-starch polysaccharides such as inulin, glucoside-lappin and mucilage.
There have been many studies done on the cancer preventative and treatment benefits of Burdock. In fact, according to this scientific review, Burdock has been utilized in treatment of breast tumor, ovary, bladder, malignant melanoma, lymphoma and pancreatic cells. Another study shows Burdock's action against multi-drug resistant cancer cells. And, yet another study shows that this plant contains anti-leukemic properties.
There's a lot of talk within health circles about inflammation right now. Specifically, that the root cause of many (if not all) chronic diseases may be some type of unaddressed inflammation in the body. Burdock has a long history of addressing inflammation in many forms, including osteoarthritis, colitis, atherosclerosis and allergic inflammation.
So, the next time you are grumbling about the time consuming removal of Burdock burrs from your clothing or your pet's fur, remember with gratitude the potent gifts found in this impressive plant!

I read another person asking how to get rid of mold from my body. I have been exposed to black mold, pink mold & several others for months. The air qualitg has been checked. The levels were very high. It is in the process of getting cleaned up. It has made me sick, get headaches & breakout in a rash. I have been spraying lemon essential oil in my room at work. A friend told me to dpray lemongrass essential oil in a spray bottle several times a day. Do you have any suggestions?
Hi Trish. The key to getting mold out of the body is to use a binder like activated charcoal or betonite clay. Honestly, nothing else works as well. If you would like to chat further, please shoot me an email.

Q: Clone entire disk to image using clonezilla and keep bootloader(s) I have hardware issues with my notebook, so I'm sending it in tomorrow and need to backup the disk. Because I have multiple OSes installed it would be very important for me to preserve the bootloaders installed on the disk.
My question is, if the bootloaders will survive the backup when I use clonezilla's disk to image option.
OSes are Windows in EFI mode and ubuntu booted through grub also in EFI mode.

A: Clonezilla disk image by default images the partition table(s), bootloaders, and all types of partitions. I believe it makes an assumption that the MBR or primary GPT and any boot loader that is not located in its own partition is located within the first 1 MiB on the disk. This is the case by default with all of the disk tools that I've ever heard of or used in both Linux and MS, including software raid.
I also believe it makes special effort to copy the backup GPT if it exists from the end of the disk.
All partitions are also imaged. If it doesn't understand the partition it just copies the whole thing byte for byte.
I'm not sure what options it gives if there is no MBR or GPT, like in the case of ZFS on bare disks or simply corrupt partition tables. I assume there is an option, probably in the advanced section to simply copy the whole disk byte for byte.

Wonderland Respun
Phoebe in Wonder land staring Elle Fanning, was written and directed by Daniel Barnz. The movie was released March 2009. (Photo courtesy of www.entertainmentwallpaper.com)
Oftentimes, movies with classic novels at their core are simply modern adaptations; however, "Phoebe in Wonderland" is quite different from an adaptation. Elle Fanning and Felicity Huffman give an extra dose of drama to Lewis Carroll's classic Alice in Wonderland.
Elle Fanning, the younger sister of Dakota Fanning, plays 10-year-old Phoebe Lichten, who suffers to find solace in our modern world, all while playing Alice in her school's rendition of Alice in Wonderland.
Phoebe's mother, Hilary, played by Felicity Huffman, shows classic traits found in overachieving mothers – she is writing her dissertation on Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and blames herself for daughters suffering. The feeling overexertion and stress that Hilary experiences is very familiar to any person, from a mother to a high school student.
The title of the movie translates to that Phoebe's world has become a sort of wonderland due to her mounting Tourette's Syndrome symptoms. Tourettes is an neurological disorder that only surfaces when a person is about nine or ten, about the same age as Phoebe. The symptoms range from twitching and shouting inappropriate things. Phoebe spits at other children in two instants in the movie. While trick-or-treating Pheobe calls a woman giving her candy fat.
She also has OCD tendencies, like counting patterns and washing her hands over and over. Phoebe's fantasy of wonderland is connected to the symptoms of her disorder and "is Phoebe just wanting to be somewhere else, " according to her mother.
Phoebe obviously admires her collegiate and intelligent parents and disapproves of her frivolous and vapid classmates. She connects with a boy in her class named Jeremy because they are both seemingly outcasts. He gets teased for playing the Queen of Hearts in the play and Phoebe is blamed for her behavior. The pair makes a great friendship and is a nice addition of relationship besides Phoebe and her mother.
Aside from the story, the cinematography of the movie is completely beautiful in a timid way. Phoebe's clothing is full of subtle patterns and simple skirts, but also fitting to a young girl with an active imagination.
Each scene is a jarring contrast from the next, some light to dark, others cluttered rooms to pristine playground. One scene will be Phoebe and her family eating dinner with dark shadows and a full table, and it will jump Phoebe on stage, practicing the part of Alice, in bright lights. Additionally, the lighting in the movie noticeably moves from lighter, simpler shades in the beginning to darker colors toward the end of the movie.
Seeing a younger sibling of an already accomplished teen actor was a nice chang; Fanning played Phoebe perfectly and was very believable as an imaginative child with Tourettes. I especially loved seeing Huffman outside of Wisteria Lane. Huffman and Fanning had great chemistry as mother and daughter, especially evident when Phoebe screams out to mother in the middle of the night and through crying said that "I want you to know why I do these things I do." Those things being her spontaneous out busts and OCD like tendencies.
After talking to the red queen, a sort of figment of her imagination that comes from Alice in Wonderland, Phoebe asks her mother "Have you ever felt like you're running very fast, just to stay in the same place?" I found this theme completely relates to high school; I often feel like I'm not moving forward, just stuck waiting for weekends, waiting for 2:50 to come. And when the weekends end or I finally get to bed, I am in the same place I was last week.
In the movie, Hilary feels really shaken by her daughters comment because she has been working on her book and just feels like she isn't getting anywhere with it, but also because in her eyes a child shouldn't be thinking like that.
In the end, the story is really what makes this movie special. It's different from any drama out there today for its ability to make the viewer actually care and carries a timeless feel. Possibly a feeling of wonderland.

Mishcon's new "UK GDPR" pages
See the UK GDPR here.
The "UK GDPR" is an odd creature. It is now the law in the UK, but there isn't an "official" text as such – what there is is an amended version of the EU GDPR with "tracked changes", available as a Keeling Schedule on the Government pages. Those who can afford a costly subscription will find versions at some online legal libraries, but others have to try to negotiate their way through that Keeling Schedule.
For that reason, Mishcon de Reya is making available a new resource, which shows UK GDPR as it exists with all the amendments made, and all the "tracked changes" accepted. We stress that this resource does not have the status of law, and should not be relied on as such.
To explain further – by the effect of section 3 of the European Union (Withdrawal Act) 2018, the GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) was retained in United Kingdom law as "direct EU legislation". However, the effect of the Data Protection, Privacy and Electronic Communications (Amendments Etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, as amended by the Data Protection, Privacy and Electronic Communications (Amendments Etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020, was, from 1 January 2021, immediately to make changes to the retained GDPR, and to refer to it as the "UK GDPR".
So we now have the UK GDPR, and the "EU GDPR".
In most cases, organisations who are doing business in the UK will need primarily to comply with the UK GDPR. We hope "our version" of it is helpful.
