"In May 2016 Invest Northern Ireland asked Stephen to present a seminar in Belfast, UK based on his book – Sell your ideas with or without a Patent. This event was attended by around 80 people ranging from individual inventors to successful small and medium sized companies from across the UK and Republic of Ireland plus Switzerland who greatly enjoyed Stephen's presentational style and clearly explained approach."
"Just a short note to say I'm inspired again to keep at my inventing and efforts to license after hearing you speak and reading at least some of the 2 books I bought. In addition to the NFIIG, I've contacted a fellow in Gainesville who is starting an entrepreneurs group for those of us north of 50 years. After the meeting the other day, I had a 1 on 1 with a medical person in Jax who I was able to show my medical device and see if he can help me in any way. Then I traveled to St. Augustine to visit friends. I was telling them about your plan of attack and I may now be able to help my friend with an idea he's had for a while. So THANK YOU!"
Your presentation at the SIA (in the metro Atlanta, GA area) meeting this morning was great! You provided priceless information, wonderful inspiration, and massive value. Thanks for being such a great source of wisdom and graciously sharing your keen insights.
It was great meeting you today. I wanted to thank you for your time and for taking a picture with me. I'm 5 pages in to your book and I already feel like I can do what I have envisioned! I am grateful for you coming here and I'm so excited about what I will be capable of after reading your book. I wish you the best.
"This is Simret, one of the many people who talked to you at the ProtoCon conference in Charleston, SC. I hope my e-mail finds you well. On this note, I want to also thank you for having given me the opportunity to chat with you extensively during the event. I truly enjoyed the presentation you gave, and have gained much inspiration and insight into field of licensing. Besides this, I have also been touched by your modest demeanor that is despite the extraordinary success you have achieved. You not only speak to the intellects of people but also to their hearts, with the latter one in my opinion having a much more transformative power in people. Again, thanks for granting me the opportunity to meet you in person."
"Truly the best, most informative, knowledgeable speaker in the industry. Stephen takes the MAJOR STING out of jumping into the arena of inventors/inventions. Especially as a novice. Thanks Stephen, you delivered in San Diego and we all walked out empowered by what you shared."
"That presentation was great!!! It answered a lot of the questions that I had. Im glad that you have presented us with how you achieved such great inventions; now im in the process of getting a hold of sell sheets and putting this invention together and present it out to companies that work with the invention that im trying to create. But it was such a pleasure to hear from you Mr. Key. I am so looking forward to reading your book and hopefully get a better insert on how to get my invention created, but THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! YOUR SPEECH WAS SO HELPFUL TO ME AND IT DEFINITELY GAVE ME A BETTER INSIGHT ON HOW TO ACCOMPLISH MY DREAMS!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!"
"I would like to thank for the excellent presentation that you gave in Minneapolis. You are a very motivating speaker. I was glad to see you intermingling and networking with the audience before hand. What a great way to get a feel for the crowd and introduce yourself first hand. The information you covered was very informative. With a little work, hopefully I will be putting some of your techniques into action. It was nice to meet you. Thank you for the seminar and and information. Looking forward to another seminar."
"I really enjoyed the refresher. Your wisdom is worth its weight in gold and there are many Minnesotans that need to hear you. I brought an inventor from Arizona to hear you. She said she was not disappointed. I knew she wouldn't be."
"Thanks for speaking to the group in Minneapolis on Tuesday. I was a bit paralyzed with fear of confidentiality/NDA's/patents, etc. Your "speed to market" speech helped me get over that."
"The energy, the rush, the WOW! We like your style. You are contagious! You don't need a PowerPoint – you just TALK! You keep your audience engaged for a solid hour or more. You make it interactive with audience participation by asking which key step to keep on point, and examining samples, keeping it informative and humorous. Your sell sheet. You practice what you preach!!!! And oh yeah, I have a memo notepad full of notes. You are GOOD - you EDUCATE; - you share -and this comes from a former educator. We THANK YOU! You gave us a very beneficial seminar at the HIA-Houston Inventors Association meeting. I am already in line at Barnes and Noble to get your book! Just can't wait. It is very purposeful and delightful to have made your acquaintance, sir."
"They say if you get just one good idea the seminar is paid for. I got ten and I was only able to stay for the first half."
"I want to first thank you for coming to Minnesota to speak to our group it was definitely motivational and I'm looking forward to see you back in Minnesota soon.
I also would like to tell you how much I appreciated the positive feed back you gave on my Emergency Data Label, I have made note of your suggestions and am making some changes to my approach."
"Just a note to say thank you will all sincerity for coming to Minneapolis and imparting your many years of wisdom to help others live out their dreams of becoming a product developer. The information you gave us will go far in helping us to realize our dreams as creative inventors. I wish you continued success in all your endeavors, and can hardly wait for your new book to be published. Also did you have the opportunity to add the content for what to say when we contact potential licensees?"
"I wanted to send a quick note to say thank you for coming to Minneapolis and sharing your wisdom. I am the guy who sat to your left in the front row with my little girl and my wife. She loved the Mickey Mouse guitar pick you gave her. It went to school with her to show her friends the next day. She has also been talking non-stop about her invention ideas!
We all left much more excited and motivated to get "un stuck". We enjoy listening to your Inventright Radio podcast and you are an even better speaker in person. We all look forward to seeing you again sometime soon."
"What a great speaker you are and you gave some great information. I am glad i went and it was a pleasure also to meet you. Hope to see you next year. I am the person that had spoke with you about the company that is infringing on my product."
"Thank you for the information on the invention world and process of marketing. When you asked me why I was stuck on moving forward with my invention I didn't know I could do the marketing and other stuff until you told everybody at the meeting. I really thought I had to find a marketing firm to license it, or to get where I need to get to from here. So thank you for all the free valuable info it will be put to good use."
"I have enjoyed your presentation immensely and want to thank you for such upbeat lessons you gave to us. Although I am not an immediate inventor, instead, I am helping inventors to "bring your ideas to life", I still found many helpful hints in your presentation."
"It was a pleasure meeting you and listening to your presentation at Marketplace in Fargo. As someone involved in the planning of the event, I especially appreciated how much time you took to walk the floor, mingle, listen to stories, etc. Your participation beyond the keynote address added much to the event."
"I truly appreciated your candor and content. I was the choir and you were preaching to it. Thanks for stepping foot in good ol' Fargo, ND. Tell California we all say "hello." Hope to have you back soon. I've put your book on my "to buy & read" list. It's right behind 'Catch-22', but ahead of the bible."
"What you shared was so inspiring! I've had ideas spinning around in my head for years and you actually gave me HOPE that I could possibly share my ideas and they would become something tangible that would help simplify life for people. As a professional organizer I'm always looking for practical ideas for homes and offices. However, my first idea back in 1979 was for a sanitary pad with wings. I drew it up but never did anything with it. I didn't know how to go about it. Well, lo and behold I was "blown away" when I saw an ad for "my idea" some 10 years later. I know I can do it! Thanks for the encouragement."
"Thanks for a great presentation at OCC on your 10-Steps. You did finish on time, and you were truly great. Your style, and the strong emphasis on challenging us to "do something" and keep it simple was artform. Just wanted to chime in and say thanks."
Richard -- I really enjoyed the event and I thank you for it. I hope to take advantage of more.
Inge -- I thoroughly enjoyed this webinar. The information and enthusiasm were invaluable. Patenting and marketing and all that that entails are just too expensive and risky for me. I have been sitting on my ideas for years, and I will now renew my efforts in research and product evaluation(s) and I am working on my benefit statement(s). The Sell Sheet recommendation is a fantastic idea and also great for web page content. My only regret is that I missed the initial 15 minutes of the webinar.
Mr. Key is an excellent advocate for inventors and entrepreneurs.
Five stars on all accounts!
Great event. Stephen is a great speaker and it was nice he offered additional free content via Ebook.
This was new to me and I really didn't know what to expect, but I did take notes and it was nice to meet Stephen Key. I came to the meeting specifically to learn how to get a list of manufacture contacts and learn what to say to them, and, to try and license my patented product.
You were our best speaker ever in 20 plus years at Inventors Forum in Orange County, California. I was a long time board member there. Thanks for being such a positive influence on inventors.
It was good, helped to reenergize me to keep moving forward with some ideas.
Always great to see Stephen. He keeps the honesty and respect in our often challenging industry. Total class and wisdom. None better.
Loved it! Great insights. Great to meet Stephen!
This was an outstanding event! I would do it again. Great job bring this presenter.
Just wanted to say fun seeing you all again last week. And thanks to you & the IC gang for coordinating the Stephen Key presentation. I did get a few very interesting takeaways and of course it was fun to hear about some of his toy experiences.
Tonight I Felt like a child in a candy store and Stephen Key his wife and daughter made us feel like family the class was very educational and I learn a lot about how to license my invention to small companies. Thank you for a great time.
Thank you so much for organizing and putting together such a valuable presentation. Stephen's wisdom offers a #ShiftInThinking that will help aspiring patent holders go from being stuck in the paralysis by analysis mode to financial success FAST. Awesome!
Stephen Key was a great speaker and seems like he would give you the shirt off his back. The seminar was kind of a repeat for me since I have read his book "One Simple Idea." It is an extremely helpful book with tons of information and secrets to teach you the tricks of the trade. I am so happy to have had the opportunity to meet and speak to Stephen. I would love to attend any future event that Stephen will be speaking at just to learn more due to him being in the business for so long.
Enlightening, educational, entertaining, encouraging and rewarding.
Wow, what a presentation. Can't wait to read Stephen's book.
Learned a lot looking forward to more.
Great presentation! Will be enjoying reading Stephen's book!
What a WONDERFUL and encouraging class! How in the world did such a great opportunity come our way? I now have hope for my ideas and plan to buy his book. Thank you to the organizers — you did a super job.
The group I brought were thrilled with the event! Thanks for all the work you do.
Great night. Stephen is a very interesting man!
It is always a very special night when Stephen Key speaks to the Inventors Network of Minnesota. He was our speaker last week, and predictably we had our best attendance of the last few years. Many of the attendees were first time visitors and many of them ended up joining. This happens every time he speaks.
New members are the life blood of organizations like ours. And since we are also a "Network", we only benefit with more members and more informed members, especially those who understand the ten steps to inventing success which Stephen completely explained to us in an easy to understand manner. Stephen, his books, his founding role in IGA (Inventors Group of America) and his and Inventright's many on-line resources are instrumental to our clubs on-going success and future.
Stephen Key cares about inventors and groups like ours and he completely understands that we are stronger when united and supported. We truly appreciate all that he does!
Stephen's presentation was one of the best we've had at the Inventors Center of Kansas City. He spoke to a "sell out" crowd, keeping them mesmerized throughout the entire evening. Since his talk I continue to receive calls, text messages and emails thanking us for having him come and stating how motivating his talk was. Before the evening was finished, all of his books were sold, a testament his topic and talents. If your organization is looking for a dynamic speaker that can fill the room with attendees, Stephen is the man. Thanks again Stephen, it was a pleasure having you in Kansas City.
Loved your inspirational talk last night at Inventors Forum in Huntington Beach. After 28 years as a member and most of them as a board member, you are still the best speaker we have ever had. Thanks a million for sharing your expertise and energy.
Thank you for visiting the Tucson Inventor Group! We really enjoyed your presentation and life story. You are a warm and kind man who truly loves this industry! I've been deeply inspired by it! The knowledge that you bestowed upon our members has surely stuck with them. Your books "One Simple Idea" and "Sell Your Ideas With or Without a Patent" are now a "KEY" part of our organization! Special thanks to your team and family for the hard work they put into co-planning our feature event.
We look forward to you visiting us again soon!
Bob Huybrechts,RDT - Founder / Chair Business Development Committee, Innovation Initiative Co-operative Inc.
Thanks to Stephen Key, our April meeting was the best attended in memory and with a most enthusiastic audience. A very down to earth, engaging presentation. Stephen made a convincing case for using Provisional Patent Applications, not only for intellectual property protection, but as marketing tools to convince prospective licensees. InventRight's business model of coaching inventors makes good sense. It enables new inventors to become knowledgeable players well equipped to independently critique and develop their future inventions.
Stephen Key's presentation on "How To Sell Your Idea With or Without A Patent" has produced a lot of "buzz" among the Chicago Inventors Organization members. "His presentation was like a flash of light in a dim room which took a room, filled to capacity with inventors, to the next level of inspiration".
"The impact of Stephen's presentation made me reconsider all of my prior thoughts about profiting from my invention and actually start to thinking a totally different way" … "What a paradigm shift – you got to read this second book" … " Way to go Stephen – can't thank you enough!!!
On behalf of Alamo Inventors, I want to sincerely thank you and Janice for providing such an informative, motivational and inspiring presentation to our organization. The excitement you created well in advance of the meeting, just knowing that you will speak to us, was very uplifting. The meeting was a great success and all 80 plus chairs were filled. Since Janice started out with 5 boxes of books and just had a few left in one box, it appears that the book sales went well too.
Again, Stephen, I appreciate all that you have done to help and support Alamo Inventors and the inventor community as a whole. I have no doubt that you have inspired hundreds, maybe thousands, of inventors to move their ideas from concept to market "with or without a patent" using your simple and effective methods.
Thank you very much for coming to Houston to speak to our group again. This is the third time you have made a presentation to our group, and on each occasion the meeting room was filled to capacity. Your presentations are always enthusiastic, inspirational, and filled with practical information, advice, and valuable techniques inventors in all stages of development can use. Great turnout. I think we had 120+ inventors in attendance.
"Wow! Inventor-Con 2015 is now in the (record-breaking) history books! Stephen as our main speaker did a fantastic job. You could tell people left the conference informed, empowered, and ready to do something great with their ideas. We had one of the biggest "standing-room-only" events in our 10 year history of doing Inventor-Con. I can't say thanks enough for helping to make our conference a such great success!"
"Invest Northern Ireland asked Stephen to present a full day seminar in Belfast, UK about his approach to product licensing. This was motivated by our interest in raising awareness of the power of licensing to increase sales revenues in Northern Ireland companies This event was attended by around 80 people ranging from individual inventors to successful small and medium sized companies who greatly enjoyed Stephen's presentational style and clearly explained approach to licensing."
Thank you Stephen Key for a great presentation at the San Diego Inventors Forum last night! And for sharing tips from your new book "Selling Your Ideas With Or Without a Patent". Looking forward to seeing you again soon!
Stephen Key was energetic, engaging and informative. His presentation on inventions, patents and licensing was a highlight of our entrepreneur conference.
Stephen was kind enough to volunteer to speak to the Austin Inventors group and his passion for product absolutely charged the room. The process Stephen outlined was practical and straight forward. his words of encouragement for the individual product developer made everyone in the room believe they could stand toe to toe with the biggest names in the industry. As founder and President of the Austin Inventors group I received a lot of positive feedback about his approach and process given it was such a refreshing perspective. I would recommend to any inventor or entrepreneur in the ideation phase of the process to enjoy and benefit from Stephen's insights.
Just a quick note to say WOW!!! This is one of the most comprehensive presentations on the subject I have ever heard. Some really interesting slants. Some very provocative concepts that I must admit I might not have agreed with before but now do.
Thanks for empowering our inventors group with the knowledge by examples that companies want and are asking for our ideas.
Your vibrant presentation, keeping it real, making it fun and showing with examples resonated perfectly with our inventors group.
The fun way you convey your wisdom so succinctly is a joy.
We can't begin to thank you enough for the dynamic presentation you provided to over 400 attendees who attended our Conference on October 22, 2011 at the Illinois Institute of Technology. Our members and guests were just overwhelmed with the amount of information you presented, your perspectives on industry trends and the opportunities before inventor entrepreneurs. Additonally, your sense of humor and "One Simple Idea" approach made understanding "So Simple" for all.Thanks again for making our 2011 Inventors Conference a "Blockbuster" success as we move ahead in these exciting times.
"Stephen provided an enlightening and entertaining talk to our local LES Chapter. The group was captivated from start to finish, and everyone let with a better understanding of how to get products in front of the right people for licensing. As a patent attorney, I learned a few things that will be useful as I assist some of my clients. Thank you Stephen for a great presentation."
Stephen Key came to Tampa on March 7th to share his experiences with members of the Tampa Bay Inventors Council and thoroughly convinced me that he is a true advocate for the individual inventor. He speaks from a place not beholden to the politics of organized inventor marketing groups and shares his passion as a successful inventor entrepreneur. He really wants to make a difference and help inventors chart a successful course to getting products on the market and ultimately make money. I know that I will apply his ten steps to my inventions in the future and appreciate all of his encouragement and advice.
• Showed attendees how to deliver an effective presentation.
• Gave each of us one of your Sell Sheets.
• Educated us on what to do and not to do .
• Engaged us with interesting examples.
• Made the total experience seem effortless.
I am not easily impressed. I enjoyed your presentation very much!
Thank you for giving South Florida Inventors your attention, enthusiasm and great insights and information today. Your inspirational presentation was unlike any our group has experienced.
Stephen Key's talk at the Inventors Network of the Capital Area gave our members valuable information on the product development process. Through stories of his own inventing adventures Stephen made complex patent and licensing subjects more easy to understand.
I invited Stephen Key of InventRight to be the guest speaker at the monthly meeting of the Nevada Inventor's Association last July. His presentation was incredible and members of our club continue to state that he was the most informative and helpful guest speaker we had in 2009.
Stephen Key and InventRight are truly an asset to the inventing community.
Thank you for coming to Minnesota to conduct the seminar for Inventors' Network. Since the seminar I have received all nature of enthusiastic comments from our attendees, such as. "Practical information I can put to use right away." "Stephen really helped me on a one to one basis." "Can we get him back here next year?"
I have been starting businesses and inventing for 35 years. Your discussion of "Study The Market Place" gave me a new perspective on the topic. It is true! We can always learn new ways of doing things. I am now studying the market place in a fresh new way.
The day of the seminar, we filled the meeting room to capacity. At the end of the seminar nearly all of the 60 inventors and entrepreneurs, at the event, purchased your inventRight™ home study course. I can speak for the group and tell you all are satisfied with there decision to advance their education and are making continued progress in inventing and marketing their inventions."
"Your approach has forced me to reexamine my entire process. I like to think that I'm pretty knowledgeable about this stuff since I have a masters degree in product design from Stanford University, worked at IDEO and I've built a company around one of my inventions. But despite all that and my dealings with all sorts of designers over the past 10 years your approach hit me like a breath of fresh air."
"You were among the most effective speakers I have had in twelve years here at UOP. The students gained so much from you. Not only did they learn your keys to success, but several mentioned how refreshing it was to meet someone so successful, yet so enthusiastic and willing to share their ideas with others. I agree!"
- Cynthia Wagner Weick, Ph.D.
Stephen spoke to the Inventors Association of Manhattan. Here are a few comments from the attendees.
Stephen rocked the house! What I liked most about his presentation is that he offers practical, affordable advice to inventors so we can ultimately win during licensing negotiations, something he aptly describes as a "dance".
A wonderful speaker with tremendous insight into the world of inventing. He does it a bit differently then most, and I found that to be so interesting. His approach is direct and although could be a bit scary for many, it is a book worth having and his steps will get you the info. needed to approach and be prepared for the big meeting with potential licensee's. Thank You.
I'm so glad I attended last night. It was so much better than I even anticipated. Stephen's energy and charisma are unbelievable. I'm sure his book (which I'll be reading soon) is fantastic, but I'm sure it's difficult for him to really get his message across on paper. Stephen is well worth seeking out if you need a fresh perspective on how to formulate concepts and get them out.
Stephen Key is an outstanding presenter, with so much real-life hands-on no-nonsense information to share about turning one's ideas into a business, whether one chooses to be a manufacturer, licensor, or both.
Stephen Key is a dynamo. He is disarming, witty, enthusiastic and charming. I liked him as soon as I met him. His enthusiasm is contagious, and what he teaches you is priceless. His goal was for us to walk away from the meeting thinking "I can do this". Well, that's exactly what I did, and my wheels have been spinning ever since.
Thought it was great! Had some time to chat informally with Stephen and get my book autographed.
It was amazing. Changed our lives forever.
I really enjoyed this event. Thank you.
It was a great meeting Stephen Key kept it fun and simple yet extremely informative.
Great speaker and very informative.
Stephen Key was brilliant ; great ideas and an amazing speaker.
"I was most struck by your encouragement to not worry about what anyone else thinks about your idea, especially when you're first developing it and experimenting. Approval and support are great, but I can't let the lack of them stop me from at least trying".
"Your talk was very motivating — especially at this point in the semester — when everybody seems to be feeling the grind. Thank you for reminding us that entrepreneurship is about having fun. And even more fun, when you work smart. My personal take away from your talk — be bold, dream big and don't hesitate to take the next step because that is where everybody with "genius" ideas falter."
"I wanted to thank you for speaking with us. I wish you would speak to Acton groups regularly."
"We really enjoyed your talk and multiple people mentioned today what a breath of fresh air it was."
"Thank you for coming to speak to us on Thursday. I'm grateful you came all the way from Modesto to give us so much of your time. You were the best outside speaker we've had come to Acton thus far. You did a good job of engaging us, telling your story without sounding boastful, giving us something we could actually use, and respecting us as peers. What I mean by the last one is that you assumed we already pretty far along our path as successful entrepreneurs, instead of talking down to us. (Some people come and give us advice like "you just gotta work hard" or, even worse, "ramp up your entrepreneurial synergy with a social network profit brand." Say what?) Also, your storytelling and speaking style is fun and captivating."

We Create Permanent Connections Who We Are
Since 1992, Anu Family Services has been providing innovative solutions to help create permanence, safety, and well-being of children and their families. We are nationally accredited by the "gold standard" in child welfare accreditation —The Council on Accreditation (COA)—since our inception.
Anu was an early founder and innovator of the national/international treatment foster care model. Our former parent company was founded in 1972 by a small group of foster parents who believed professional, highly trained and involved foster parents could provide effective treatment to children with challenging behaviors in family-based settings.
To this day, Anu Family Services is committed to these values and the belief that children reach their best potential in family-based settings rather than institutions. Our first locations developed in Western Wisconsin, and have expanded to a statewide presence that ranges across the entire states of Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Our current office locations include The Northern Region Headquarters in Eau Claire, Wisconsin; The Southern Region Headquarters in Madison, Wisconsin; The Minnesota Headquarters in St. Paul, Minnesota and the Administrative Headquarters in Hudson, Wisconsin. Most of our staff work from remote home offices which allows us to have staff conveniently located throughout WI and MN close to the families we serve.
Our service specialization started with treatment foster care and has expanded to service offerings that are designed to support families so that children can remain in the home, get home more quickly or be successful when they return home. Parent Coaching, Community-Based Flexible Support, and Intensive Permanence/Trauma Services are a few of the innovative approaches designed by Anu Family Services. Anu Family Services also provides Parenting Coach Certification, training, and consultation.
Mission/Vision/Values
We create and sustain permanent connections to loving and stable families
We Value
Trauma effective healing practices
Whole-system wellbeing
Opportunities created by experiences
Trustworthiness and courage
Vision/Core Focus
Creating permanent connections to loving families
Enhancing the wellbeing of children and families through transformative healing relationships
Developing industry-leading solutions to enrich as many lives as possible
The licensing process to become a foster home is way too long and complicated.
At Anu, we work hard to make the licensing process as easy as possible for families. We take great pride in this fact and strive to license homes within 100 days which is much lower than national average.


Newport Beach police responded to a call at 11:31 a.m. Wednesday about a man who tried to lure a girl toward a vehicle in the 600 block of Iris Avenue, police said.
Two unidentified suspects pulled up to a yard where the girl was before the passenger asked her a question and encouraged her to come toward the vehicle to answer, Newport police spokeswoman Jennifer Manzella said.
The girl, however, did not engage, Manzella said.
According to Corona del Mar Today, which first reported the incident, the man persisted, asking the 14-year-old to point out directions on a map.
Instead, she grabbed a stick lying in the yard and the man backed off, according to CdM Today's reporting.
Manzella said she didn't have a description of the suspects available, but CdM Today said the passenger appeared to be in his 50s, about 5 feet 10 inches tall, 160 pounds with a goatee and dark hair.
Newport police said they were contacted within five minutes of the incident, but they were unable to find the suspects in the area.
The department's special victims unit will follow up on the investigation, Manzella said.

To the heartlands...
It's certainly not a bad idea to stage a national team's match at one of the heartland areas.
In fact, I like the idea very much after witnessed Singapore beat Vietnam in the Tiger Beer Challenge Trophy match at the Jurong East Stadium.
The lineup before the kick-off
After the "closure" of the National Stadium and the unfriendly surface of Jalan Besar Stadium, using alternative like stadiums in HDB new towns is a good way to bring the team closer to the ordinary folks (it just like, "Hey, the national team is playing downstair, want go see or not?") rather having to travel to centralized locations such as Kallang or Jalan Besar.
The match in progress...
The boisterous support from the Vietnamese had a friend SMSed me that the whole thing made us looked like we are at an "away" game.

There's still a long way to go before getting the act together.
Just like every eve of every big matcha, the game against the Vietnamese was to try out several players on new positioning, which I hope it the thing will click when required.

It's getting more crowded! Jupiter's moon count reaches 79, including tiny 'oddball'
It's getting more crowded! Jupiter's moon count reaches 79, including tiny 'oddball'
It's getting more crowded around Jupiter.
July 17, 2018 10:29:54 pm
The scientists say the moons weren't seen before because they are tiny — the biggest ones only about two miles across.
It's getting more crowded around Jupiter. A team of astronomers is reporting the discovery of a dozen new moons circling the giant gas planet.
That brings the number of moons at Jupiter to 79, the most of any planet. Saturn is next with 61.
The astronomers were looking for objects on the fringes of the solar system when they spotted the Jupiter moons. They found a dozen small moons. The confirmation of 10 was announced Tuesday; two were confirmed earlier. They're calling one moon an 'oddball' because of its unusual orbit.
The scientists say the moons weren't seen before because they are tiny — the biggest ones only about two miles across. Telescopes in Chile, Hawaii and Arizona were used for the discovery and confirmation.

a practical guide for young people on living a lifestyle of worship.
From Andy's own experience of pursuing God's presence and encountering Him Jesus Over Everything, notes for the next generation of Planetshakers, offers an invitation to step beyond just knowing about God, to really knowing Him by experience, and being used by Him to impact others.
It is part of our mandate at Planetshakers to reach this generation and to lead them into a personal encounter with Jesus. One of the keys to successfully doing so, is to speak their language. Ps Andy Harrison is someone who has the unique ability to engage with young people, captivate their attention and lead them into powerful, supernatural encounters with God. This book will lead you into an encounter too, as it unfolds the characteristics of our great God. I am proud to have Andy as part of our ministry here at Planetshakers, and know that as you read these pages, you will see the greatness of our God!.
In a unique and relatable format, Jesus Over Everything, has been written to correspond with one of 'planetboom's' music releases, also by the same name. Each chapter, sharing its title with one of the tracks, is an explanation on how to live out the message behind the song.
Andy Harrison is a youth pastor, drummer and songwriter serving under Ps Russell & Sam Evans and the Planetshakers ministry. He and his wife, Susannah, lead 'planetboom,' the youth ministry of Planetshakers Church, and are passionate about seeing teenager's lives transformed by the power and presence of God. Under their leadership, planetboom has grown into a thriving, multicultural ministry, caring for over 4,000 teenagers, and having a significant impact on youth culture in their city. Andy is an influential and effective communicator; his heart for worship and his desire to see people encounter God is contagious and will inspire others to hunger after God in a new way. He is also a songwriter and drummer for the Planetshakers Band, and travels the world bringing a fresh and powerful sound of praise and worship.
Andy Harrison is one of Australia's great leaders and pastors, and has built one of the world's most significant youth movements, planetboom. I have had the honour of preaching with him at different conferences and have seen thousands of people's lives impacted by his message and ministry. Jesus Over Everything, is Andy's life message. He preaches and lives everything in the pages of this book. I pray this book gets into millions of hands, because the message is eternal.
Andy Harrison is a true gift from God to this generation. I had the privilege of witnessing the gift and grace on Andy at Planetshakers Conference. Not only does he have an incredible preaching gift but his love for people and the next generation is inspiring. Jesus Over Everything is the overflow of a life in love with Jesus. This book speaks to the cry of every believer who knows that there is more in God for us and that our true joy is not found in holding on to our lives, but losing them for the sake of Christ.
Andy is a voice and a force. He has a message that is vital for all to hear. I really believe that if you read the following pages written by this powerful, passionate and gifted man, your life will be impacted in a big way. Jesus Over Everything will change everything!
This book should come with a warning label: "You will not be the same after reading!" Jesus Over Everything, brings clarity & direction on how to navigate your life to position Jesus in His rightful place so you can sustain your fresh encounter with God. Enjoy!
Andy is one of the greatest youth pastors our nation has produced, relentlessly positioning young people for an encounter with God. Every young person needs to get their hands on this book because this message is one that has been revolutionising a generation for almost 10 years.
Under the leadership of Senior Pastors Russell and Sam Evans, Planetshakers Church is based out of Melbourne, Australia with multiple locations around the world.

That's what most people claim, but how is it practical? Not taking a swipe at you, if you think it is a good safety precaution but- think about it. If she could cast a charm that would inflict facial scarring on anyone who told (and it's pretty sophisticated, too, 'coz at the next DA meeting, one or two more boys- can't remember which, Seamus, I think?- turned up and nobody was scarred, so obviously telling people doesn't trigger the jinx on its own, since they added to the DA's ranks without suffering the repercussions), why not something more efficient like the Tongue-Tying jinx or whatever it is? Or a mere silencio? How handy would that be, now their secret is safe 'coz the would-be tattletale literally cannot talk about it.
Also, it was Hermione's own list that got people in trouble. I think Umbridge got her hands on the list and that got people in trouble, so she actually did more harm herself.

Clark County was founded on December 15, 1818, as part of Missouri Territory. One of the original five counties composing Arkansas Territory when the territory was established in 1819, Clark County included all or parts of at least fifteen counties in present-day Arkansas and parts of six counties in what is now Oklahoma. The county was named for Missouri territorial governor William Clark of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
The county is part of two of Arkansas's natural regions—the Ouachita Mountains and the Gulf Coastal Plain—and its physical characteristics made the area ideal for farming and hunting. Before Europeans arrived, Native Americans, particularly the Caddo, inhabited the land containing heavy forests, abundant game, rich soil, clear streams, and salt. Archaeological evidence attests to the lengthy presence of the Indians in the area.
In the sixteenth century, Hernando de Soto was the first European known to explore the Ouachita Mountains region. He was followed more than a century later by the French, who named many of the county's topological features. By the late 1700s, Europeans continued to explore and occupy the area, but Indians had largely vacated the area.
Permanent settlement by Americans occurred soon after the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. In 1809, William Blakely established a blacksmith shop on the west bank of the Ouachita River at a site called Blakelytown (later named Arkadelphia). Across the river to the east, John Hemphill began operating a salt factory, one of the state's earliest manufacturing concerns. By 1812, Jacob Barkman, often called the "Father of Clark County," opened traffic on the Ouachita River to New Orleans, Louisiana, first by pirogue and keelboat and, in 1830, by steamboat. Barkman's home served as the site of the first county court, the first post office, a stagecoach stop, a racetrack, and an ill-fated textile mill. Blakelytown's first general store opened in 1817, operated by J. S. T. Callaway. Jonathan O. Callaway is credited with having built the town's first hotel in 1843, and shortly thereafter, the Spence Hotel was constructed and became a well-known stopping place in the region. Moses Collins arrived in the county in 1830 and built a sawmill and a gristmill on Terre Noir Creek. A brickyard was established the same year. Reflecting the emphasis on the region's abundant natural resources, agriculture dominated antebellum Clark County's economy. As in much of Arkansas, cotton's importance grew throughout the antebellum period, and slavery was common throughout the county.
In the 1830s, the Military Road was constructed along the Southwest Trail through Clark County and passed near Barkman's home. This road became the county's main land transportation artery. Today, U.S. 67 and Interstate 30 cross the Caddo River within a few hundred yards of Barkman's former residence. U.S. 7 also traverses the county.
Among the county's noted settlers was Meriwether Lewis Randolph, grandson of Thomas Jefferson. Randolph, Arkansas's last territorial secretary, and his wife, a grandniece of Rachel Jackson (Andrew Jackson's wife), moved to southern Clark County in 1836. After his death in 1837, Randolph was buried on the grounds of his plantation near Gurdon.
The early county seats were in or near the homes of Barkman on the Caddo and Adam Stroud near Hollywood. The county seat was also at Biscoeville. In 1831, the seat of government was established at Greenville, where it remained until 1842, when it moved to Blakelytown. Blakelytown was renamed Arkadelphia, and a courthouse was constructed. The present courthouse was built in 1899.
Churches and schools were priorities for early settlers. William Frederick Browning settled in northwest Clark County in 1841 near the present-day Amity and established a church and school by 1848. Oakland Academy opened in 1847 as a result of the effort of Michael Bozeman, who settled west of Arkadelphia in 1835 and began a large farming operation. His Greek Revival home is considered the county's oldest residence. By 1859, three churches, the Arkansas Institute for the Blind, and several academies operated in Arkadelphia. Ouachita Baptist College (now Ouachita Baptist University) was founded in 1886, followed by Arkadelphia Methodist College (later Henderson-Brown College) in 1890. Today, public schools have been consolidated into three major districts—Arkadelphia, Gurdon, and Centerpoint—and Arkadelphia's two universities make education an important component of the county. Arkadelphia has even been called "the Athens of Arkansas" because of the number and prominence of its educational institutions.
Religion played an important role in the lives of early Clark Countians, and they organized churches soon after settling. Dr. Willis S. Smith may have taught what was the county's first Sunday school in Okolona in 1833. Mount Bethel Baptist Church, six miles west of Arkadelphia, was founded in 1836 and is one of the oldest Baptist churches in west Arkansas. Manchester Methodist Church was organized in the Manchester community in 1837, and the congregation built a church there in 1844. Members of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Whelen Springs first met in 1851. African Americans in the eastern part of the county began services at Mount Morriah Baptist Church in 1869. Baptists, Methodists, and Presbyterians all established congregations in Arkadelphia before the Civil War.
The county had become a thriving community of agriculture, commerce, and education by 1860. With the onset of the Civil War, the county provided many volunteers to the Confederate cause. Arkadelphia became a major depot for the Trans-Mississippi Confederate States Army, making vital war materials such as salt, munitions, artillery, clothing, leather goods, and medicines; the town had an ordnance works, the equipment of which was moved to Marshall, Texas, late in the war but which produced light artillery, pistols, rifles, and more. Clark County experienced only a few occasional skirmishes in the war. Although the county saw no major battles, the Union army briefly occupied Arkadelphia as General Frederick Steele's forces marched through the county on the way to Camden (Ouachita County) in March 1864. Harris Flanagin, an attorney and legislator who moved to the county in 1838, served as the state's Confederate governor during much of the Civil War.
Clark County suffered from the effects of war as did the rest of Arkansas. Impoverished and disfranchised citizens emerged slowly from the effects of war and Reconstruction until the Cairo and Fulton Railroad's completion through Arkadelphia in 1873. Before this, the Ouachita River served as a major transportation outlet, but the river declined in importance after the railroad arrived. Arkadelphia became a principal transportation hub in southwest Arkansas, and the railroad provided the impetus for a new industry revolving around forest products. New mill towns, some short-lived, sprang up along almost every spur. One survivor, Gurdon, became a prosperous railroad and lumber center. By 1890, forest products ranked next to agriculture as a financial resource. Modern technological developments established the industry's continued importance in the county's economy.
Clark County suffered along with the rest of Arkansas from the effects of the Great Depression. For example, the Arkadelphia Milling Company closed in 1932. The company was a major manufacturer of flour, meal, stock fee, and staves and had been one of the Missouri-Pacific Railroad's biggest customers in Arkansas. Farming in the 1930s continued to focus on cotton and small truck products, but that focus changed as the result of controls placed on production of certain crops by the National Recovery Act. Also in response to difficult economic times, community leaders initiated their first serious efforts to develop tourism. Attempts to draw travelers through the area were successful to the extent that Ripley's Believe It or Not proclaimed that Arkadelphia had more service stations than churches.
World War II stimulated the development of small industry in the county. Employment rose, businesses expanded, and overall economic improvement occurred as the result of government wartime spending. Farm mechanization after World War II changed Clark County's population distribution. From 1930 to 1970, the county lost 13.6 percent of its population, while Arkadelphia's grew from 13.6 percent to 45.7 percent of the total, following a general population shift in Arkansas from rural to urban areas. Businesses began or continued operations in a variety of industries following the war. Companies such as Hollywood Maxwell, Oberman Manufacturing, Reynolds Metals, Gurdon Lumber Company, Barringer Lumber Company, Bean Lumber Company, Tectum Corporation, International Paper, Levi Strauss, and Ouachita Marine played an important role in the area's economy.
Clark County's economy declined in the early to mid-1980s. The county lost approximately 1,000 manufacturing jobs between 1980 and 1987, when several major plants closed, including Reynolds Metals, Levi Strauss & Co., and Torrington/Fafnir Bearing Company. But, as the 1980s ended, the county experienced some revitalization as businesses began or reopened their operations. The Value Line furniture manufacturing facility opened in 1985; AALF's Manufacturing reopened the Levi plant in 1988; Petit Jean Poultry began processing chickens in the Clark County Industrial Park; Carrier Corporation bought the Fafnir plant; Rohr Industries opened its jet engine housing components plant; and in 1993, Reynolds Metals began operating a facility to treat spent potliner in its previously closed Gum Springs plant.
The completion of DeGray Dam and Lake along the Caddo River in the 1970s added tourism and recreation as major components of the economy. Together with education, agriculture, and the forest products industry, these resources continue to provide the foundation for Clark County's economic future.

Docents train hard and proud
by Sally Friedman, For The Inquirer, Posted: November 13, 2010
On the street below at Fifth and Market, jackhammers were sending out their deafening message.
Inside, in the lobby of the new home of the National Museum of American Jewish History, Irving Berlin's personal piano was being jockeyed into place.
Photo Gallery: Docents train hard and proud
And upstairs on the fourth floor, as mayhem swirled around them, a group of intrepid men and women sidestepped ladders and cables, tuning out the din of construction projects to concentrate on one thing: being the best ambassadors possible to the thousands of visitors expected to arrive when the relocated museum opens to the public on Nov. 26.
On this late-October day, the museum's new docents finally were in the space where they have been preparing to lead tours for more than a year.
Docent training at the striking new building is not taken lightly.
"These are amazingly dedicated people who are willing to sacrifice significant time in their lives for this," says Rob Levin, the museum's education specialist. Levin helped to launch the formal docent interview process back in spring 2009, after notices seeking guides were placed in local synagogue bulletins, at area colleges, and on the Internet, attracting more than 100 applicants.
Each one then underwent an initial phone interview, filled out a lengthy written application, had an in-person interview, and was subject to a reference check.
"By the end of July," Levin says, "we had created a pool of about 60 candidates, to ensure an ongoing core group of 50 docents."
Their backgrounds include science, the arts, business, social work, law, writing, design, catering; they speak a total of 12 languages. "The mix is wonderful," Levin says, also noting that 10 of the pioneer group are men, an unexpected bonus; typically, the museum-docent population tilts strongly toward women.
Each Tuesday afternoon since October 2009, these volunteers have met for several hours to learn the sweep of Jewish American history from 1654 to the present, often hearing from guest lecturers from local universities. And yes, there is homework.
They also have been mastering techniques to present that history vividly and engagingly in just one hour on the guided tours they will lead.
The docents have had plenty of practice, presenting individual objects to one another, personalizing their comments while highlighting as a framework the museum's important holdings, which range from kosher butchers' knives to historic letters, documents, ritual objects, and diaries.
"People can learn facts by reading labels. But a good docent becomes an ambassador for an institution, using facts in creative combination with people skills and host skills. They need to captivate an audience," says Linda Steinberg, who became director of education at the museum in July, bringing with her an extensive museum background with an emphasis on Judaism.
Steinberg recognizes that an hour is a blink when it comes to 25,000 square feet of exhibition space on three floors, with more than a thousand objects and 30 films on display. How that hour is utilized is the key to making visitors want to continue on their own, or return for a deeper immersion.
It's a tall order, as interior designer Adele Fine of Center City now recognizes. "I've been a printmaker, a starving artist, and a designer, but this work has been among the most challenging, and satisfying, things I've ever done."
Fine decided to sign on as a docent to test herself in new ways, and because she was hungry to learn more about American Judaism. "And what I got was a graduate course that I've loved. I've left class every week on a high."
Once most of the artifacts were in place, Fine was among the first to volunteer to actually lead a tour group - fellow docents who rewarded her with a spontaneous burst of applause as the tour ended. She beamed. And exhaled.
Also slated to lead a group that day was retired Purdue University chemistry professor Michael Lipschutz of Philadelphia. An expert on extraterrestrial material, Lipschutz explained why he became involved in docent training.
"I've been trained as a scientist, dealing with tiny parts of the whole, one thread of the tapestry. In leading tours, I'm weaving all the threads together."
He admits it will be a change of pace "to talk to people, not rocks," and is gratified that his long interest in history finally is being utilized.
For Rosangela Gomes, 41, an accountant with a South Jersey firm, becoming a docent at this particular museum represents a remarkable odyssey.
Born into a Catholic family in Brazil, Gomes emigrated to the United States in 1997, and completed a conversion to Judaism in 2009. "I'd been raised in a Catholic family, went to a Catholic university, but I always saw a certain magic in Judaism," she says.
"When I decided to do this, I was pretty alone. I have no family here. So this group has 'adopted' me - I was invited to eight Passover seders last spring by other docents."
She acknowledges that until her year of extensive immersion in Judaism through American history, it was, in her words, "a real mystery."
"Now," she says, "I really, truly feel Jewish."
When Lory Engel, 67, of Moorestown retired from teaching elementary-school students in Mount Laurel in 2008, she wasn't sure how she'd spend her time. Then a friend told her about the museum's docent opportunities.
"When I was accepted, the teacher in me rejoiced at being a student for a change. I loved getting a whole year of education in Jewish history. The entire experience has been unique, a gift I've given to myself," Engel says.
According to education director Steinberg, a second training program will begin probably in spring, this one with the option of evening classes, to help with projected student-group visits and themed tours.
Applicants should gird for a challenge.
Linda Markoff of Cherry Hill, a metal artist, didn't expect the volume of material she had to master in the course of this program, but master it she did.
"I actually surprised myself," she says. "I've been doing my homework faithfully because I realize how important it is to be informed if you're going to inform others.
"This is a time of my life when I wanted to be doing something significant, and I think I've found it."

Q: How to set name in SelectDateWidget on buttons for month, year and day? In forms:
bir_date = DateField(widget=SelectDateWidget(years=range(1900, 2020), label="")

But until I not pressed on drop-down list for month, day or year, button looks like this (---).
How to make that not displayed (---) but displayed ('month', 'year', day)?

A: Unfortunately you'll need to subclass SelectDateWidget. You'll see in the django source that none_value isn't made available to be changed in the init function.
Here's an untested example:
from django.forms.extras.widgets import SelectDateWidget

class CustomSelectDateWidget(SelectDateWidget):
    def get_none_value(self, field):
        return {
            "year": "Year",
            "month": "Month",
            "day": "Day",
        }[field]

    def create_select(self, name, field, value, val, choices):
        if 'id' in self.attrs:
            id_ = self.attrs['id']
        else:
            id_ = 'id_%s' % name
        if not (self.required and val):
            choices.insert(0, self.get_none_value(field))
        local_attrs = self.build_attrs(id=field % id_)
        s = Select(choices=choices)
        select_html = s.render(field % name, val, local_attrs)
        return select_html

If you wanted to make it even more flexible, you could override the init function to pass in a none_value dictionary and use that in get_none_value if it exists.

Thailand's Amnat Ruenroeng was the last professional standing in the men's boxing, but his defeat in the round of 16 of the 60kg division means that an amateur will once again claim gold.
The decision to allow professionals into the Olympics was a controversial one, but all three pros who entered have already fallen in a display of strength by the amateur contingent.
Hassan Ndam Njikam of Cameroon was the first pro to be defeated when he was on the wrong side of a tight decision call on Saturday, and when Italy's Carmine Tommasone become the second casualty in Tuesday's morning session, it was only Ruenroeng who remained.
However, the 36-year-old, who harboured hopes of a medal, suffered a technical knockout defeat at the hands of France's Sofiane Oumih.
Ruenroeng, who has spoken openly about how time in a Thai prison shaped his career, was in trouble as early as the second round when he was twice given a standing count as he struggled to get to grips with his taller opponent who made the most of his reach advantage.
Oumih came out firing in the third round, and after a few left hooks found their mark, the referee brought the fight to a halt after a third standing count.

At this weekend's 33rd annual festival, things will have quite a different look.
Working in partnership with the Kansas City Department of Parks and Recreation, the Ethnic Enrichment Commission has steadily increased the size of the event, now held at Swope Park.
Roughly 60 countries will be represented this year, including a first-ever booth from Egypt. After drawing more than 35,000 people last year, festival organizers hope for a similar turnout this time around.
"If I could get 35 to 40,000 visitors, that would be good," says Horvatic, now the festival director. "But I'd like more."
The event, which opens Friday and runs through Sunday, has developed into arguably the area's largest celebration of various cultures and traditions.
Each country will operate a booth, many of which will sell food, crafts and jewelry, and a beer garden will serve domestic and imported beer. There's plenty of children-friendly entertainment, too, from face painting to crafts.
Stage entertainment includes an assortment of culture-specific music and dance. From 4 to 5 p.m. Saturday, there's a "Parade of Flags" in which representatives from all participating countries will walk across the venue's main stage to music.
And at 2 p.m. on Sunday, there's an ethnic fashion show.
"We have belly dancers, Greek dancers, American Indians," Horvatic says.
The Ethnic Enrichment Commission has been preparing for this year's event since January, and over the past two weeks things have grown even more intense.
Horvatic and Melinda Minks, who coordinates special projects for the Kansas City Parks and Recreation Department, have spent hours each day at Swope Park, overseeing the festival's construction and the assembling of booths.
"Each year it gets a little better," Minks says. "It gets good enough that we wonder what we're missing. When things go so smoothly, you start to think, 'What have I missed?' "
And while the heat has certainly made outdoor activities a little sticky this summer, representatives are confident that folks will fill the park regardless of the climate.
"We operate rain or shine," Minks says. "We've had rain, we've had shine. In the past 32 years, we've had one weekend that had nothing but rain and still had people come out, and about eight years ago, it was really hot like it is this summer, and we still had people come out."


Hwy 10 West to Central Ave SE, turns into 150th Ave SE, Go Left on 117th to 37th, Go right to top of hill on left.
Becker is located in Minnesota. Becker, Minnesota 55308 has a population of 4,700.
The median household income in Becker, Minnesota 55308 is $68,333. The median household income for the surrounding county is $73,621 compared to the national median of $53,482. The median age of people living in Becker 55308 is 30.3 years.

Name the 4th game

In my opinion they wasted the name Tomb Raider on the 2013 game. The game just wasn't reeeaaally about raiding tombs and moreso on Lara Croft. Here's how the series should've been titled.

I always thought the first game should of been Lara Croft: Survivor....I mean they must of pushed the word survival and survivor a ridiculous amount of time during promo. It just makes sense, unlike Tomb Raider. For the following game I'd completely throw the names Rise and Shadow out. They were clearly trying to mimic batman, but they're both just corny and after the playing the games mostly insignificant names anyway.
In your own way, at your own pace, pulling through.

I actually think "Rise of The Tomb Raider" would have been more appropriate for the first reboot game, and it should have been the only game to begin with "..of the" in the title. Then they could have named the sequels more accurately, but particularly Rise.

It's just weird portraying Lara as a survivor instead of what she really is... an adventurer.
Ooooooooooooh I finally get why some fans hate it.
Survivor just sounds like she has to put up with it, rather than seek and enjoy the thrill of adventure. Which is the whole point of Lara Croft as a character.

In TR'13, Lara is seeking adventure, but as a naive 21 year old, she is expecting to make this big historical discovery, not what turns out to be a living nightmare, surviving against the elements and these crazed cultist Solarii. So yeah, in that game she is more of a survivor than an adventurer. In Rise, though she chose to go looking for the Prophet and the Divine Source, I still feel like it's more out of some duty, t her dad and just to find proof, so it still seems less of an adventure. It's in Shadow that this changes. That game definitely feels like and adventure to me, even if Lara's motivation is not all about the fun of it all initially (must stop Trinity is her early mantra). But in moments when she's lightened up a bit, her enjoyment is beginning to shine through. I think she finally admits than in the end. But that's why it's all part of an origins story. The next game will probably show her going on an adventure just because she enjoys it. She's definitely not just surviving in Shadow.

It still overshadowed by the whole "survival" aspect, especially as she isn't portrayed as a very happy character. The only part I can think of where it seems like she's having fun is after her and Jonah escape the tomb at the beginning of shadow.
But another reason why it mostly feels like a survival trilogy to me instead of an adventure is the way Lara always gets stranded everywhere and you have to help her get better. The island in the first game, the jeep crash in Syria, the avalanche, the plane crane in Shadow. Over and over. For once I'd like Lara to arrive somewhere she is supposed to go and be prepared and confident. (the prologues to Rise and Shadow don't really count in this example).
The next game will probably show her going on an adventure just because she enjoys it. She's definitely not just surviving in Shadow.
I'm not holding my breath.
I always bring it up and I know you always disagree with me, but the ending of Shadow does not reflect a Lara going out exploring for the fun of it. It just comes across as she's still got this chip on her shoulder and this over inflated sense of duty. If they wanted a version of Lara that was closer to her classic iteration, which is a version of the character that goes on adventures for the thrill of it they would of really hammered that point home. What we got instead was this...
I thought taking control of my life meant venturing out to do something extraordinary. I thought I had to fix everything.
This line is mostly fine and inoffensive. However, I don't believe there was any development in the game to support this statement. Lara is a fixer, that's all she seems to do is stick her nose in other peoples problems throughout the whole game and take control. The only person in the game that challenged Lara on this was Jonah in the beginning of the game, which IMO was done more through anger at the time. If he really meant it I believe he would of challenged her further throughout the story, yet all he did was facilitate Lara's behaviour.
But the mysteries of the world are more to cherish than to solve.
This part I just find completely laughable. This version of the character pretty much destroys everything she touches, she can't seem to walk into an area without the floor collapsing or breaking something. Plus, surely a defining aspect of an adventurer is someone who enjoys the thrills of solving mysteries.
I am just one of their many protectors.
...and there's that chip on the shoulder! The sense of duty is still very much there, and to me this just highlights the fixer mentality she still has, which a few lines ago she apparently doesn't have anymore.
I'm not sure what the future has in store Jonah. But whatever adventures on the horizon I can't wait to meet it.
Probably the only part of her whole speech that isn't vomit inducing and actually shows she's looking forward to future adventures.
I'll try not to take myself too seriously.
This one just honestly makes me burst out laughing. I'll try not to take myself too seriously because this whole dramatic speech and announcing herself a protector isn't being overly serious? The whole ending should of been way more lighthearted IMO.
The only game in the trilogy that had a decent ending cutscene was the first game. Lara said FOUR WORDS, "I'm not going home" and that was way more effective than her big dramatic speeches at the end of Rise and Shadow, which did nothing but make me roll my eyes. I believed at the end of Tomb Raider (2013) that Lara was going to be throwing herself off onto dangerous adventures, as after the island it was the only way she knew how to live. Though, in retrospect we know that wasn't the case and in came Miss I've got to save the world.
I completely agree. This version of the character isn't portrayed as a thrill seeking adventurer, but a character who's overly dramatic, serious and bogged down by endlessly amounts of emotional baggage. At this stage it's just grating and boring.
I honestly hope they drop all this crafting and upgrading busy work, as you said it makes the character appear unprepared and lacking in their abilities.

Appealability of Disqualification
Home/Table of Contents
Following is a brief review of whether an order granting or denying a motion to disqualify counsel is appealable. The next paragraph deals with federal courts, where the situation is fairly clear. The paragraph after that deals with state courts, where the differences from state-to-state can be significant. In connection with state courts, we have not attempted a state-by-state review, but rather have gathered representative decisions to illustrate the various ways the states differ.
Federal Courts. Orders granting or denying motions to disqualify under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 are not appealable. Richardson-Merrell Inc. v. Koller, 472 U.S. 424 (1985) (order granting motion to disqualify); Firestone Tire & Rubber Co. v. Risjord, 449 U.S. 368 (1981) (order denying motion to disqualify). In In re Lewis, 212 F.3d 980 (7th Cir. 2000), the trial judge had granted a motion to disqualify. The losing parties filed a petition for mandamus in the appellate court, as a way to circumvent the holding in Richardson-Merrell. The court denied mandamus, saying that the damages the plaintiffs may suffer as a result of the disqualification are not the kind that mandamus was intended to remedy. The court noted that the Supreme Court in Richardson-Merrell said in footnote 13 that mandamus could be appropriate, but that such a case would require "exceptional circumstances." In Lewis C. Nelson & Sons, Inc. v. United States Dist. Ct., 2006 U.S. App. LEXIS 16978 (9th Cir. July 6, 2006), the Ninth Circuit considered on the merits a petition for writ of mandamus from an order denying a motion to disqualify (but denied the petition). For an earlier case in which the court granted mandamus after a firm was disqualified, see In re Sandahl, 980 F.2d 1118 (7th Cir. 1992). For a disqualified lawyer's lame attempt to distinguish Richardson-Merrell, see Hammond v. City of Junction City, 2003 U.S. App. LEXIS 25862 (10th Cir. Dec. 19, 2003). In DeFazio v. Wallis, 500 F. Supp. 2d 197 (E.D.N.Y. 2007), the court held that a disqualification order is not subject to FRCP Rule 60 relief.
In Cardona v. General Motors, 939 F. Supp. 351 (D.N.J. 1996), the court denied a request to certify an interlocutory appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b). The opinion contains an excellent discussion of how that section relates to motions to disqualify. And, in DeVittorio v. Hall, 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 6595 (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 29, 2008), the court held that an order denying disqualification on a simple substantial relationship issue does not qualify for § 1292(b) treatment.
Denial of Motion to Employ Debtor's Counsel not Appealable. In re Black Diamond Mining Co., LLC, 2009 Bankr. LEXIS 467 (6th Cir. Bankr. App. Panel Mr. 19, 2009).
Denial of Application to Employ Creditors' Committee Counsel not Appealable. In re Nashville Senior Living, LLC, 2010 Bankr. LEXIS 875 (6th Cir. B.A.P. April 1, 2010).
In re Rodriguez-Borges, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 52528 (D.P.R. March 28, 2013). Chapter 7. In this opinion the district judge held that an order of the bankruptcy judge disqualifying Debtor's counsel was not appealable to the district judge as of right.
State Courts. Again, the following list of cases does not purport to be exhaustive review of past decisions. It is representative only. As we learn of new decisions - as well as older ones - we will add them. In Re AmSouth Bank, N.A., 589 So. 2d 715 (Ala. 1991) (court allowed mandamus); Meehan v. Hopps, 288 P.2d 267 (Cal. 1955) (denial of motion is appealable); Reed v. Superior Court, 111 Cal. Rptr. 2d 842 (Cal. App. 2001) (appeal of denial of motion does not stay proceedings below automatically); Vivitar Corp. v. Broidy, 192 Cal. Rptr. 281 (Cal. App. 1983) (granting of motion is appealable); El Senoussi v. Kona Coast Props., LLC, 2009 Cal. App. Unpub. LEXIS 6764 (Cal. App. Aug. 20, 2009) (should have appealed sooner rather than later); Burger & Burger, Inc. v. Murren, 522 A.2d 812 (Conn. 1987) (neither order granting, nor order denying, motion to disqualify appealable); Acierno v. Hayward, 859 A.2d 617 (Del. 2004) (order granting disqualification not appealable as of right; certification procedure available); Gottlieb v. State of Delaware, 697 A.2d 400 (Del. 1997) (revocation of pro hac vice status not appealable); Sayers v. Sayers, 2014 Fla. App. LEXIS 8793 (Fla. App. June 9, 2014) (order granting disqualification not appealable, citing Zarco Supply Co. v. Bonnell, 658 So. 2d 151 (Fla. App. 1995)); Cerillo v. Highley, 797 So. 2d 1288 (Fla. App. 2001) (certiorari appropriate remedy for wrongful disqualification); Settendown Pub. Util., LLC v. Waterscape Util., LLC. Butler, 2013 Ga. App. LEXIS 909 (Ga. App. Nov. 13, 2013) (order disqualifying interlocutory, not collateral); Mizukami v. Don Quijote (USA) Co., Ltd., 2013 Haw. App. LEXIS 295 (Haw. App. May 16, 2013) (disqualification not appealable as of right); Cutter Motor Cars, Inc. v. Ayabe, 2007 Haw. LEXIS 135 (Haw.

Va. 2006) (denial of motion appealable via request for writ of prohibition).
Even Denial of Injunction not Appealable. DHR International, Inc. v. Winston and Strawn, 807 N.E.2d 1094 (Ill. App. 2004). Winston and Strawn ("Winston") was representing a claimant against DHR in an AAA arbitration in New York City. DHR brought this case to enjoin Winston from handling that arbitration, claiming that someone from Winston had earlier represented DHR. The trial court denied DHR's motion for preliminary injunction, so DHR brought this appeal, relying on Illinois Supreme Court Rule 307(a)(1). That rule permits appeals as of right from an interlocutory order "granting, modifying, refusing, dissolving, or refusing to dissolve or modify an injunction." The appellate court dismissed the appeal because it had no jurisdiction. The court reasoned that an order denying an injunction based upon an alleged conflict of interest is tantamount to an order denying a motion to disqualify, which, in Illinois is not appealable as of right. Evidently, neither the trial court nor the appellate court questioned the propriety of a suit to enjoin the conflict.
Order Denying Motion to Withdraw. In re Franke, 2012 Md. App. LEXIS 95 (Md. App. Aug. 29, 2012). Not a conflicts case. Lawyer moved to withdraw because of non-payment of $120,000 in fees. The trial court denied the motion. Lawyer appealed. In this opinion the appellate court reversed, holding that an order denying a motion to withdraw is immediately appealable.

Alec Baldwin (CAA) and Patrick Wilson (CAA, Anonymous, Hansen Jacobson) will star in the thriller "Caught Stealing," written by David Hayter and based on the Charlie Huston novel.
Alec Baldwin likes to balance his feuding with his do-gooding.
While embroiled in another feud with the New York Post (this time, over columnist Andrea Peyser's one-sided coverage of his alleged stalker), the 30 Rock actor has announced his donation of $1 million to New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.
This is second $1 million given by the Emmy-winning, tabloid-baiting Baldwin, a Tisch graduate, in support of the Alec Baldwin Drama Scholarship Fund and the Talent Identification Process (TIP). In 2009, he donated that sum upon the launch of TIP, a method through which the school recruits and supports young talents across the country whose financial circumstances might otherwise bar them from applying to Tisch.

"At a time when funds for higher education appear to be more difficult than ever to access, it's my great pleasure to do what I can to bring the best possible candidates into the Tisch program, a program which I believe is the best in the country," Baldwin said in a statement Thursday.
Candidates singled out through the program who are deemed "high performance and high need," according to Tisch, are eligible for scholarships including Baldwin's Scholarship Fund.
"Alec's generous and transformative gift enables us to think about arts recruitment in the same way as a top athletic program scouts talent, providing scholarship support to the most exciting young voices, who will in turn become the next generation of leaders in their fields. His talent and generosity are examples for all of our students," said Dean Mary Schmidt Campbell.
This spring, Baldwin will teach a drama class at Tisch. He will also complete his final year as neurotic exec Jack Donaghy on NBC's 30 Rock, which has won him two Emmys, two Golden Globes and seven SAG awards.
