Matt Parry signs with Koiranen as 2016 GP3 dates released
Posted on December 30, 2015 March 21, 2016 by wrdaadmin
Matt wants more silverware in 2016!
a Matt Parry has agreed terms to re-sign with the Korianen GP squad for the 2016 GP3 Series! Koiranen GP gave him his debut in the category in 2015 when he finished in 8th place overall, the best of the 3 Welsh drivers in the series, after a series of podium places. Returning to the Koiranen line-up will now allow Parry to build on relationships within the team, especially as this will be the first year for GP3/16 car – the third generation car!
"I can skip the part where driver and team have to get to know each other and get straight down to work," the 21-year old, who again excelled in this month's end-of-season test, explained,"GP3 lived up to my expectations as a very competitive series, but already knowing what each of us require should allow for a flying start once the 2016 campaign gets underway. I know what I am capable of with the Koiranen team, and we both look forward to turning that into race wins and a lot of points second time around.
The 2016 GP3 Series – which enjoys extensive coverage on the Sky Sports F1 channel in the UK – is expected to kick off at Sochi Autodrom in Russia on 1 May, but the full schedule has yet to be confirmed. Parry will retain the backing of Sport Wales, as well as the patronage of both the MSA's Team UK programme and the BRDC's SuperStars scheme, all of which assist with his training and preparation.
With podium finishes already under his belt, the Welshman will start the 2016 season amongst the title favourites. The 2016 championship is over nine events alongside Formula One including a new venue for the Series with the addition of Sepang to the GP3 calendar which will provide yet another intriguing challenge. It promises to be another very exciting year, especially with the introduction of the third generation GP3 car."
The Series enters into its seventh season and will once again commence at Barcelona on May 13-15. The following month will see a break in the calendar with the exception of a test session in Austria. The teams will resume to action for the most frenetic period of the season with four race weekends in six weeks, starting on July 01-03 at Spielberg, which will be back-to-back with Silverstone on July 08-10. The paddock will reunite again at Budapest on July 22-24, whilst Hockenheim will return to the calendar one week later on July 29-31.
The teams will then enjoy a well-deserved summer break before arriving at Spa-Francorchamps for round six on August 26-28. Thereafter, Monza will follow for the third back-to-back event of the campaign on September 02-04.The GP3 Series will make its maiden visit to the Sepang circuit in Malaysia on September 30 – October 02 for the first of two flyaways. The season will once again draw to a close at the spectacular setting of the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi on November 25-27.
There will be seven pre-season test days held in Estoril, Valencia and Barcelona with a further two day test session in Austria after round one.

Rowan was trying out that dressage saddle that under her tush. It's being offered at a very reasonable price and she said that for the first time ever her hips didn't hurt after riding. Very telling that is.
Spring is just around the corner – yes?


My husband Pete did not receive the nomination yesterday to run as the Democratic candidate for US Senate. Pete and I are sincerely grateful to everyone who supported his cause, and I am sorry to have disappointed those who believed in the change that Pete was trying to make. We were hopeful that the delegates would understand how essential it is to lead by example. If you want to solve the problem, you can't be part of the problem. Pete had widespread support in Utah as well as support from around the country to get dirty money out of elections. We believed that in giving people a just cause around which to rally, we could beat the special interest candidate in November.
I won't lie. Yesterday was a big blow. Not so much for the ego part of it; I am perfectly happy to send Pete back to work at XMission on Monday. Pete did not set out to become a politician, but ran because he could not find another candidate who supported his core values. Yesterday's loss was not a personal loss, rather it seems like a setback for those who are committed to getting corporate money out of politics. There are good, honest people in the Democratic Party, courageous individuals who are willing to put their necks out, to be called "nutcakes." We have to keep working, regardless of the powers that be and those that say you can't win unless you stoop to what the other guy is doing. To me, the ends do not justify the means — ever.
CleanSlateNow.org is a non partisan group that supports candidates who forgo special interest money, creating an environment where people, not money, determine the outcome of elections.
Here is a link to Pete's speech from yesterday's convention. Unfortunately he was cut off before he had a chance to finish delivering it.
I remain committed to getting the corrupting power of money out of our elections and hope to continue working with those who want to take back their voice in government and get corporations out of our democratic process.

Do international political borders matter in the modern world, and, if so, in what ways?
The Borders and Boundaries Project at Perry World House is researching how political life both affects and is affected by international borders and border security policies. This interdisciplinary, multi-method effort is directed by Professor Beth Simmons and is composed of research teams studying border politics across a variety of different research areas. These include: a geo-spatial analysis of whether, where, and why some states choose to project their presence at international border crossings; a textual analysis of the discourse surrounding international borders; and an investigation of how European Union policies affect local communities living along international borders.

Borders and Boundaries Report From the Road: Israel and the West Bank
by Michael Kenwick
Borders and Boundaries seeks to understand the multiple significances of boundaries, including those designated as state authority, security buffers, expressions of social meaning, and opportunities for economic integration. The Borders and Boundaries project hopes to contextualize border architecture, infrastructure, and institutions as expressions of social, political, and economic anxieties associated with globalization. As part of this project, Dr. Kenwick traveled to Israel to present research and explore border security policy firsthand.
Israel has a unique relationship with its borders, which have existed in a state of flux since the nation's inception. Its "internal" borders with Palestine, both along the West Bank and the Gaza strip, are among the most contentious in world politics. What is it like for an outsider to cross these borders? As a post-doctoral fellow of the Borders and Boundaries team, I recently visited Israel to find out.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, visitors to Israel can expect more rigorous screening than is typically experienced when traveling abroad. The process begins on U.S. soil. Israeli citizens working with El Al airways ask a battery of questions, some common for international travel, some not. How did you get to the airport? Have you let your bags out of sight since packing? Can you speak Hebrew? None? Do you have any Arab friends? I see you traveled to China; why? What will you be doing in Israel? Presenting research? On what? It is best not to answer the last question with "border security." Doing so leads to a special invitation for additional screening and searches prior to departure. Though the sample was small, the group receiving additional screening appeared to be disproportionately composed of individuals in their twenties, perhaps the most likely demographic of would-be militants. Throughout the process, the El Al personnel remain courteous and professional, but rigidly concerned with completing all manner of checks.
Once completed, travelers are provided an entry permit and removable sticker for their passport—the latter used in lieu of a passport stamp after a variety of rival countries began banning entry to individuals who have traveled to Israel. After arriving in Israel, the screening process begins again before passengers are allowed to retrieve their now thoroughly inspected luggage.
Outside of airports, Israel has also built extensive filtering infrastructure along their borders with Palestine. In our travels, we crossed these borders twice, once entering the West Bank from Ein Gedi along the Dead Sea, and again when re-entering Israeli territory in Jerusalem. Our experience at both crossings was similar—each checkpoint contained a covered gate straddling the road, accompanied by pull-off inspection facilities, and booths manned by heavily armed members of the Israeli Defense Force (IDF). Everywhere Israeli flags were prominently displayed.
Crossing the checkpoint was tense, yet we passed unencumbered. The IDF members quickly glanced at the individuals in each car but did not require us to stop and there was no inspection of our passports or vehicle. The procedure was remarkably similar at both crossings, which were differentiated only through the volume of traffic heading through each.
Would Palestinians be given the same treatment? It is difficult to say with certainty, but our experience at the checkpoint outside Ben Gurion airport may be telling. While other cars passed freely, our cab was pulled aside as it approached their airport entrance. We were asked for passports and were treated to another barrage of questions about our travel. We asked our cab driver whether this was unusual and he said that, for him, it was not. I noticed earlier during our ride that his cell phone operated in Arabic script, and his ethnicity may have been otherwise discernable to the security agents. It seems that profiling in Israel does not carry the same negative connotations it does in the United States.
Overall, the story of border security in Israel is one of capacity, commitment, and capability. Movement into Israel by air required careful and extensive screening. Yet within the West Bank relatively free movement appears to prevail, if only for the moment. Everywhere, the built environment reminds travelers that they move across the borders under the demonstrated authority of the Israeli state. These structures and procedures act as a spigot, capable of filtering or stopping movement altogether during times of strife. Until those times, life carries on along the West Bank's borders under the watchful eye of the IDF.

Turkey Crackdown Chronicle: Week of September 18
By Özgür Öğret/CPJ Turkey Representative on September 19, 2016 10:26 AM EDT
Taraf chief editor detained hours after release
Hours after his release from prison, the writer and journalist Ahmet Altan was detained again. Altan turned himself in late last night and was arrested after hearing that he was wanted by authorities, according to reports. According to a report in the daily, Hürriyet, the prosecution objected to Altan's release under judicial control and argued that as the founding chief editor of the daily, Taraf, the journalist was a part of the FETÖ/PDY organization. The court ordered the journalist to be detained again under accusations of "attempting to eliminate the government of the Republic of Turkey or to prevent it from its duties" and "being member of a [terrorist] organization." Despite some pro-government media reports on Altan being detained while on the run, other reports and accounts on social media said the journalist turned himself in. Both Altan brothers, Ahmet and Mehmet are at Silivri Prison in Istanbul, pending trial

Journalists jailed in Turkey in 2015
Prime Minister denies rumors about newspaper closures
At a meeting in Ankara yesterday, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, the main opposition Republican People's Party leader, asked Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım if rumors that more critical dailies are to be shuttered were true, the online newspaper Gazete Duvar reported. The prime minister said rumors that Cumhuriyet, Evrensel, and Sözcü will be ordered closed were not true, the report said.
Özgür Gündem guest editor in court
Faruk Eren, head of the leftist union DİSK (The Revolutionary Worker Unions' Confederation) for press workers, was in court yesterday over his participation in the solidarity campaign with the pro-Kurdish daily Özgür Gündem, Bianet reported. Eren is on trial due to three stories and columns featured in the newspaper on the day he was the symbolic chief editor. İnan Kızılkaya, the news editor who under Turkish law is legally responsible for the recently shuttered newspaper and is a defendant at every trial connected to the solidarity campaign, was not present at court. He is still under arrest. The journalists are charged with making propaganda of a [terrorist] organization, praising a crime and criminal, and provoking the people into committing crimes. The next hearing was scheduled for October 25. Four more participants in the campaign–Nadire Mater, of Bianet, Hasan Cemal, of T24, Tuğrul Eryılmaz, formerly with the daily Radikal, and freelancer Mehmet Güç–were at Çağlayan courthouse in Istanbul today, to testify in their case, Bianet reported. The journalists are free pending trial.
Also in court this week:
Mehmet Baransu. Yesterday, the prosecution made its closing statement at the trial of Baransu over a 2013 story in the daily, Taraf, about a document allegedly leaked from the National Security Board about the Gülen community in 2004. The story was about how the document allegedly recommended an action plan be formed to "end the Gülen community." The prosecution asked for a prison sentence of 16 to 31 years for Baransu. The journalist is also under arrest for a separate accusation of obtaining secret government documents.
Canan Coşkun. Cumhuriyet journalist Coşkun was in court over a story alleging some judiciary members were being bribed by discounts for luxury housing. The next hearing is scheduled for October 20.
Ahmet Şık. The Odatv trial continued September 21, with the next hearing scheduled for October 24 according to a web report in Odatv titled "You won't believe this but the Odatv trial still goes on." The journalist on trial, Şık, reminded the court that the police who run the investigation, alongside the original prosecutors and judges are now either arrested or on the run due to alleged links to FETÖ/PDY. Şık added that the president should also be tried at the court due to his past partnership with the Gülen Community. The journalist and CPJ 2013 IPFA awardee Nedim Şener, who is also a defendant in the case, asked the court to "end this theater."
Presidential pardon will not halt all insult cases
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan may have pardoned those whom he sued for "insulting" him, but the laws will not, according to an interview with the lawyer Selin Nakıpoğlu in Gazete Duvar. Nakıpoğlu said it was expected that the more than 3,000 trials for insulting the president would be dismissed but that applies to the cases the president sued for damages only, not the public cases. "Criminal court judges cannot dismiss [the cases] in scope of the Turkish Penal Law Article No: 299, which is not subject to complaints " she said. Unless the Constitutional Court will dismiss Article 299 for insulting the president, the trials will continue.
Broadcasters fined for coverage
The state broadcast regulator, RTÜK fined Hayatın Sesi TV and two pro-Kurdish local channels Van TV and Özgür Gün TV over their broadcasts, the socialist daily Evrensel reported today. Hayatın Sesi was fined for "PKK propaganda" on two occasions. One of the instances was a politician not naming the PKK while evaluating the clashes between the banned organization and Turkish security forces in southeastern Turkey. Speaking on these clashes without naming the PKK constitutes PKK propaganda, according to the RTÜK, because it was an attempt to make it sound like the people were fighting the security forces. The details of the broadcasts that led to the other channels' fines were not included in the Evrensel report and website, or on the RTÜK's website.
Erdoğan: Headlines supporting coup attempt are a crime
In an interview today with Bloomberg, President Erdoğan was asked about press freedom in Turkey and the more than 100 journalists in jail there. His response to the question starts at the 26.15 minute of the video. Erdoğan also criticized the world media for not supporting Turkey. According to a translation of the Bloomberg interview, Erdoğan said:
"Before anything else, these figures you have given about the media aren't correct. I have to say this very clearly: whenever some media member is arrested in the U.S., I can't get up and blame the administration. Why? Because the judiciary made such a decision and we respect that. Do media members have such a special feature that they can't commit a crime? They also commit crimes. For example, if a media member; with the writing, with the headlines they sent, supported a coup attempt. Within our legal system, this is a crime. And since this is a crime, the price has to be paid. When a politician commits a crime, they pay the price. Why shouldn't some member of the media pay the price? The one who gives the punishment isn't me, it's the court. And aside from that, there are columnists who support armed terrorist organizations. There are journalists who have been caught with weapons. Are they not going to pay for it? This is what the judiciary is doing in Turkey now. Those who have been laid off, those who have left their positions, it doesn't just happen overnight or arbitrarily. Right now, the judiciary, along with the police force, the intelligence agency, they are following the process. Turkey, on July 15, experienced a very serious blow. We are experiencing such things. The PKK is a terrorist organization. Can a member of the PKK terrorist organization be a policeman? Can they be an official in a state office? In the same fashion, can they be from Al-Qaeda, from the militant group Islamic State? What is happening now is the judiciary, in co-operation with the police, is rounding them up and doing what is necessary. That is what's happening."
Prominent writer jailed pending trial, brother freed on probation
Istanbul's 10th Court of Penal Peace early this morning ordered writer and journalist Ahmet Altan freed, pending trial, on probation. The court ordered his brother and fellow author and journalist, Mehmet Altan, jailed pending trial, the news website T24 reported. They face charges of knowingly producing propaganda for the failed July 15 attempted coup. Both deny the charges.
Turkey world's leading Twitter censor
Turkey made more requests of Twitter to censor accounts and individual tweets than any other country by far, Twitter reported in its 2016 transparency report. In the first half of 2016, Turkey reported 14,953 accounts to the social media website, or 73 percent of the total accounts reported by all the world's governments, according to Twitter's data.
Cumhuriyet wins international prize
The newspaper Cumhuriyet is among this year's recipients of the Right Livelihood Award, or "the alternative Nobel prize," as it is known, German broadcaster Deustche Welle reported today. The opposition daily was granted the award "for fighting for freedom of the press in Turkey," according to the report.
Can Dündar, the newspaper's editor until he went into exile last month, is a 2016 recipient of The Committee to Protect Journalists' 2016 International Press Freedom Award.
Socialist newspaper files criminal complaint against Islamist daily
The socialist daily Evrensel reported yesterday that its lawyers had filed a criminal complaint against Islamist daily Yeni Akit regarding an unsourced August 14 Yeni Akit report that authorities would close Evrensel for producing propaganda for the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which Turkey classes as a terrorist organization. Yeni Akit, whose coverage is strongly supportive of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), accused Evrensel of being the "spokesperson for the PKK" in its August 14 report.
In its criminal complaint, Evrensel asked prosecutors to try Yeni Akit for "provoking people to commit crimes, provoking the people to hatred and animosity, threat, insult, and preventing people from exercising their [rights] to freedom of thought and opinion," Evrensel reported.
Interior Ministry cancels passports of 46 Kurdish journalists, media workers
The Turkish Interior Ministry has cancelled the passports of 46 journalists and media workers, the pro-Kurdish Dicle News Agency (DİHA) reported. The 46 journalists and other staff of pro-Kurdish media organizations are defendants in what the Turkish press calls the "KCK press trial." Dozens of ethnic-Kurdish journalists, lawyers, and politicians stand accused in the trial of backing the Kurdish umbrella group, the Kurdistan Communities Union (KCK), which includes the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which Turkey has classed as a terrorist group.
Police arrested most of those accused in December 2011, according to press reports and CPJ research at the time. Courts over the following three years ordered the release of all of those arrested in the 2011 raids, a few at a time, until the last of those detained was released in May 2014. The trial resumed last April. According to the DİHA report, the travel bans came to light when some of those facing trial attempted to travel.
Trial resumes for Cumhuriyet journalists, lawmaker
Istanbul's 14th Court for Serious Crimes today merged the trials of Can Dündar and Erdem Gül, the former editor and the Ankara bureau chief, respectively, of the opposition newspaper Cumhuriyet, with that of Enis Berberoğlu, a member of parliament for the opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) and former editor of the daily newspaper Hürriyet, according to the independent news website Bianet.
Today, the 14th Istanbul Court of Serious Crimes continued to hear the case of the journalists regarding the reports on Turkey smuggling weapons to Syria and merged the trial with another case, say. Prosecutors claim Berberoğlu passed former Cumhuriyet editor and 2016 CPJ International Freedom of the Press Award recipient Dündar video purportedly showing trucks carrying weapons from the Turkish intelligence agency to Islamist Syrian rebels in 2015.
Dündar is being tried in absentia, having said he will not return to Turkey until the state of emergency imposed after July's failed coup attempt is lifted. Gül was present at the hearing. The court adjourned until October 16, Bianet reported.
News agency reporter released, pending trial
Antalya's Second Court for Serious Crimes yesterday ordered Feyyaz İmrak, the pro-Kurdish Dicle News Agency (DİHA)'s correspondent in Turkey's southern Antalya province, released from prison pending trial on charges of "being a member of a [terrorist] organization," and "propagandizing for a [terrorist] organization," his employer reported. Police detained İmrak, who is also a student at Akdeniz University, on February 11.
Trials begin for journalists who protested harassment of newspaper staff
The trial of Ayşe Düzkan and Ragıp Duran — two veteran journalists who symbolically acted as co-editors of the pro-Kurdish daily newspaper Özgür Gündem for a day to protest authorities' persistent judicial harassment of its staff before a court ordered it closed in August — began at Istanbul's Çağlayan Courthouse today, the independent news website Bianet reported. Istanbul's 13th Court for Serious Crimes merged their cases into one trial, as it did the trials of former Özgür Gündem editors Eren Keskin and Hüseyin Aykol.
İnan Kızılkaya — Özgür Gündem's responsible news editor, who has been jailed since police raided the newspaper's office on August 16 — is a co-defendant in both cases, and in all other cases, because his position makes him responsible for everything published in the newspaper according to Turkish law.
Düzkan, Duran, and Kızılkaya's trials adjourned until December 15. The trial of Faruk Eren, head of the leftist union DİSK (The Revolutionary Worker Unions' Confederation) for press workers, is scheduled to begin on September 22.
The trials on terrorism charges of at least 19 of the more than 100 journalists and press-freedom activists who face criminal investigations in connection the newspaper's coverage when they symbolically acted as co-editors of the newspaper are expected to begin before October 8, according to Bianet.
Authorities prevent journalist, wife from traveling
Journalist and author Çağdaş Ulus wrote on Twitter today that police at Istanbul's Sabiha Gökçen Airport prevented him and his wife from traveling. The writer, who has worked for the daily newspaper Vatan, said he and his wife learned their passports had been canceled on September 1 because they were suspected of being supporters of the Gülenist movement when airport police prevented them from traveling and brought them instead to a prosecutor's office for interrogation. Prosecutors released Ulus and his wife after questioning them, Ulus subsequently wrote on Twitter.
Ban on reporting arrest campaign in Mediterranean city
Turkey's broadcast regulator the RTÜK on September 16 announced that Izmir's Second Court of Penal Peace announced a ban on "any kind of news story or interview" regarding an arrest campaign in the Mediterranean city targeting suspected supporters of preacher Fethullah Gülen, whom the Turkish government accuses of maintaining a terrorist organization, "parallel state structure," and of orchestrating a failed military coup in July.
New agency website censored
The Information Technologies and Communication Institution (BTK) yesterday blocked to access to the pro-Kurdish Dicle News Agency (DİHA), according to press reports. According to the independent news website Bianet, it was the 45th time authorities had censored the news agency's website.
Özgür Öğret is a Turkish freelance journalist and CPJ's Turkey representative. He was lead researcher for the 2012 CPJ special report, "Turkey's Press Freedom Crisis."

Just Mercy – A powerful and thought-provoking history-making battle for justice
13 February 2020 by Daniel Dercksen·Comments Off on Just Mercy – A powerful and thought-provoking history-making battle for justice
Award-winning filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton brings one of the most important stories of our time to the big screen, directing Just Mercy from a screenplay he co-wrote, based on Bryan Stevenson's bestselling memoir.
Cretton co-wrote the screenplay with Andrew Lanham (The Glass Castle), based on Stevenson's book Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption. Published in 2014 by Spiegel & Grau, the book has spent more than 180 weeks on The New York Times Best Sellers List and counting. It was also named one of the year's best books by a number of top publications, including TIME Magazine. For the book, Stevenson also won the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence, an NAACP Image Award, and the Dayton Literary Peace Prize for Nonfiction.
Destin Daniel Cretton during filming of Just Mercy
In 1988, attorney Bryan Stevenson courageously chooses to go Alabama to fight injustice, armed with nothing but a Harvard Law degree and the resolve to help people whose lives were literally on the line. Earlier that year, Walter McMillian had been sentenced to death for a murder he didn't commit and now believes his fate is sealed. Life had taken these two men on very divergent paths…but now those paths are about to converge in a racially charged, landmark case that will ultimately shake an unjust legal system to its core.
Michael B. Jordan, who portrays Bryan and is one of the film's producers, says, "Throughout the course of the story, we see the ups and downs and trials and tribulations as Bryan fights to get Walter exonerated and freed from death row. You get to know Walter and see the humanity of the innocent man who's been wrongly convicted, but you also see Bryan's courage and passion, and understand why he has dedicated his life to this cause through his nonprofit organization, the Equal Justice Initiative."
As seen in the film, EJI had a very modest naissance but has grown exponentially in the decades since. "They are the voice of people who can't speak for themselves," Jordan continues. "They stand up for those who are told to sit down, and they won't quit until every option is exhausted or until justice is served. To achieve justice is Bryan's only motivation."
The film's director and co-screenwriter, Destin Daniel Cretton, adds, "The film's story starts more than 30 years ago, but Bryan is still fighting the same fight every day. He's in it for the long haul. And he is probably the most kind, empathetic person I've ever met—a combination of a genius mind and a heart that is so big—and he's somehow able to combine those two to create a strategy that is really effective in helping the people who need it. "Bryan's lifework shows us that one person who sees a problem and decides to do something about it can make a difference," Cretton goes on to state. "And the amount of change that he has accomplished in his lifetime is pretty unreal. So in the movie we're watching the genesis of a hero. That's what it feels like to me."
Cretton reveals that reading the book Just Mercy forced him to question his own long-held trust in the legal system. "'Justice for all' are words that have been ingrained in my head since I was a child. But as you leaf through the pages of Bryan's book, you see very clearly that there is not justice for all. There is justice for some and extreme injustice for many others."
Cretton was initially given the book by producer Gil Netter, who had acquired the rights to Just Mercy before it was even published.
"I could not put it down. The stories are so moving and the people are so richly defined, it makes you feel deeply for them. I never felt so connected to characters who are living such drastically different lives from mine. And there is something about the way Bryan writes—not only writes, but the way he speaks, the way he lives his life—that is so inspiring. It makes you want to do something. What I know how to do is make movies, so I felt very privileged to take on the challenge of adapting his book into a film. I called Gil immediately and told him I would do anything to work on it."
Netter recalls that the book had an equally powerful effect on him. "I was profoundly moved and felt that bringing Bryan's memoir to the screen had the potential to open people's eyes and hearts. My mission statement for my company has always been to make movies that show how putting good into the world can have a powerful and lasting impact. And certainly Bryan has brought hope to people who have been marginalized, not only by race but also by poverty. As Bryan says, 'The opposite of poverty isn't wealth, it's justice.'"
Fellow producer Asher Goldstein agrees. "Frankly, the narrative of this story is something that has been going on for a long time in this country, and it strikes a resounding resemblance to things that are still happening. We felt it was an important story to tell because it's extremely relevant."
Jamie Foxx, who plays Walter McMillian, reflects, "There was a racial domino that was pushed a long time ago, and we've yet to put a stop to them falling. So a movie like this is needed because, hopefully, people will come—Black, white, Asian, Latino, whoever—and leave the theatre with a different mindset and say, 'No, we don't want to see that happen anymore.'"
"Movies have a remarkable way of uniting us with people who are different from us," adds Brie Larson, who plays Bryan's colleague Eva Ansley in the film. "So the idea that folks who maybe aren't familiar with this issue, or who have a preconceived notion about the men and women on death row, could watch this film and have a new understanding of how our judicial system works, how it can fail us and how we can be of support is really important."
Although Just Mercy became a widely acclaimed bestseller, Bryan Stevenson says he was nevertheless surprised when Hollywood came calling, admitting he was hesitant at first about turning it into a film "because I wanted to stay true to the book. But once I got to spend time with Gil, Destin, Michael B. and Asher, I became excited about the opportunity to make a movie that could reach a wider audience and have a greater impact."
Stevenson continues, "I want people to understand the problems of bias and unfairness in our criminal justice system—a system that treats you better if you're rich and guilty than if you're poor and innocent. I sometimes think that people believe that there's no room for mercy in justice or that mercy is disconnected from justice. I chose the title Just Mercy as a way of describing mercy that is rooted in an understanding that we all fall down, that we all need grace, that we all need redemption, that none of us want to be judged by the worst thing we've ever done. And I wanted to convey the concept that mercy isn't what we give to the people whom we think deserve it; mercy is what we give to the people whom we think don't deserve it. It requires an understanding of not just who they are, but who we are. So I like that interplay between 'just' and 'mercy' in the title, which is meant to push past the idea that it's not only mercy, it's mercy that is just. I wanted that idea to be front and center."
The filmmakers all shared that objective and, to that end, worked closely with Stevenson throughout the development of the script.
Andrew Lanham, who co-wrote the screenplay with Cretton, confirms, "We spent a lot of time interviewing him and his staff at EJI. We went over pretty much every draft of the script extensively with him. The goal for everyone at all times was, 'How can we stay true not only to Bryan's voice but also to his message?'"
Lanham goes on to relate, "It's impossible to interact with Bryan for more than five minutes and not be transformed in some way. No matter what your beliefs, there are some people who come into the world to be good souls and who can truly bring change. And when you meet one of those people, it's incredibly powerful."
Bryan Stevenson and Andrew Lanham
"Bryan has been our North Star in all of this," states Goldstein. "The fact is we could not have made this film without him guiding us to make sure the story we're telling is reflective of his experience. Destin is someone who strives for authenticity, and the partnership he had with Bryan was invaluable in getting as close to the truth as possible, especially since the story is told through Bryan's eyes."
Having produced Cretton's film The Glass Castle, Netter says he immediately thought of him to both write and direct "Just Mercy." "I just knew Destin would be a perfect match for Bryan's story. He is an exceptionally talented filmmaker, but most importantly, Destin has a deep level of emotional intelligence and genuine empathy for others. That's why his work is always emotionally in touch and so truthful."
"Destin is a man with seemingly endless understanding and humanity," concurs Larson, who counts "Just Mercy" as her third film under Cretton's direction, following "Short Term 12" and "The Glass Castle."
"He stands for a lot of the same things that Bryan does, so it felt like a synergistic partnership. It's one thing to make a movie about compassion; it's another thing to live it and embody it and create a set that mirrors it. He is a tremendous support for every person, from the cast to his department heads and crew. They're like family."
Sharing that sentiment, Jordan says, "The positive energy Destin gave off and the tone he set is why our cast and crew was so close. It trickles down from the top and we all followed his leadership. It felt like magic because we had everyone coming together who really cared about this project and it created an environment to do something special. And as a producer, I felt the story had to be told by a person of color. Destin brings a certain honesty and real-life experience to his perspective."
Michael B. Jordan in a scene from "Just Mercy."
Just Mercy is the first film produced under Warner Bros.' inclusion rider, ensuring that underrepresented groups, including women, people of color and those from the LGBTQ community are considered for key roles and positions on both sides of the camera.
The policy was spearheaded by Jordan, who offers, "When you have an opportunity to do something positive that could have a lasting impact, I personally feel it would be a waste not to maximize that opportunity. That's what I'm trying to do with my body of work. I want to lead by example in the choices I make, not just talking it but walking it."
Recalling the first time he saw Jordan and Stevenson together, Cretton believes Jordan is already living up to that aspiration. "We were in Alabama visiting EJI and went to the Legacy Museum and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice. Watching the two of them walking through those monuments that memorialize victims of lynching, listening to Bryan sharing his vision and Michael B. relating to it was such a moving moment. Seeing them side-by-side, I felt so happy about that casting, but I was also struck by the fact that this wasn't just another role Michael B. was playing. I honestly think he was tapping into something in himself that went much deeper than this movie… I think we all were."

Lillis gets Tipp ready for Semple clash
Mon 20th Jun
Lillis ready to go for Semple Clash
Tipperary manager John Lillis has told Camogie Reporter that his charges are ready to go and looking forward to welcoming Offaly to Semple Stadium this weekend.
The Premier County take on Offaly in round two of the All Ireland Camogie Championships in association with RT+ Sport this Saturday. Throw in at 3.00pm with live updates on RT+ Radio One and highlights on the Sunday Game.
""Granted we had a good win, in the end over Dublin, but that will mean very little when we take on Offaly, who are a very good side and as well as that are a team who have been together for four years or more, so in that sense they have built up a consistent base. In addition to that they also have Joachim Kelly, an excellent manager and they certainly won't lack for motivation.""
Lillis, who took charge of Tipperary Senior Camogie team following a stint managing the Tipperary U-18 side, is aware that Offaly will be smarting from last weekend's defeat to rivals Kilkenny.
""We cannot afford to be complacent. We got our campaign off to a good start and we want to keep that going. One of the main things on Saturday that we will be keen to cut down on is the amount of frees as Offaly have an excellent free taker in Elaine Dermody. Aside from that, we will be concentrating on playing our own game and getting the result we need.""
Lillis, along with his backroom team of Lenny Phillips (son of the late Biddy Phillips), Carmel Harkin and Hugh Coughlan, highlights the recent lack of game time, for the side as one concern.
""Prior to coming into Saturday's match we had a six week break through various club games and exam disruptions. It did affect the panel, so it was good to hit the ground running, while the round of games over the next couple of weekends will be excellent for the side.
The arrival of teenage star Sarah Fryday, along with the rejuvenation of ace forward Clare Grogan is a big boost to Tipp's chances. Furthermore, the display of Jill Horan at midfield and Cora Hennessy on the æ40, is another reason for Lillis to be positive.
""We have a number of players going well at the moment so it all helps. Nicole Walsh, who missed some of the league, is returning from injury while we have the likes of Cora and Sarah also going well. We are taking it one game at a time though.""

Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping is officially the first inductee of the 2019 UFC Hall of Fame. The announcement was made in the middle of the UFC London's live broadcast at the O2 Arena on Saturday night.
How did Michael Bisping become a UFC champion?
A veteran of 39 professional fights, "The Count" burst into the MMA mainstream scene as the winner of the third season of the Ultimate Fighter in 2006. He slowly climbed up the ranks, defeating notable names like Chris Leben, Brian Stann, and Anderson Silva, before knocking out Luke Rockhold in their rematch at UFC 199 in June 2016 to win the UFC 185-pound title.
Bisping went on to successfully defend the title once in a rematch against Dan Henderson, where he won via unanimous decision. He subsequently dropped the title to Georges St-Pierre at UFC 217 in November 2017, which was quickly followed by a first-round knockout loss to Kelvin Gastelum in Shanghai, China two weeks later.
In May 2018, Bisping formally announced his retirement at the age of 39.
The 2019 UFC Hall-of-Fame induction ceremony will take place at the Modern Wing on July 5th, during the annual International Fight Week.


A truck accident near the Lincoln Tunnel on the New York-New Jersey border caused major traffic delays on December 14, according to CBS News. A semi truck overturned on the Helix during morning commute hours.
The crash happened at about 5 a.m. and it took until almost 8 a.m. to get the truck moved off the highway. Traffic was diverted through Weehawken, and buses were diverted to Secaucus Junction. Haz mat responders were called in to clean up the oil that spilled from the accident.
One minor injury was reported. The victim's name was not released and they were reportedly transported to Bellevue Hospital Center in New York City. The accident is still under investigation.

Q: MdDialog - reuse the component instead of creating every time Is it possible to re-use the component instance used for MdDialog?
I use it this way, and it always gets re-created:
openLocationPicker() {
  const dialogParams: UserPickLocationDialogParams = {
    locationName: this.locationName,
    geoLocationString: this.latitudeLongitudeControl.nativeElement.value
  }
  let dialogRef = this.dialog.open(UserPickLocationComponent, {
    height: '470px',
    width: '600px',
    data: dialogParams
  }).afterClosed().subscribe(returnVal => {
     // ...
  })
}

I would like to re-use existing instance, because it holds agm (Google Map), and the app gets slower and slower after each opening of the dialog (looks like a resource leak).

Welcome to the first episode of the TBrA Dialogues Series: Conversations with 'Women at the Top', a Boardroom Africa production. This is a special one not only because of our guest interviewee, but also because this is our maiden episode, and comes at an opportune time, in anticipation of International Women's Day (#IWD2018). In this episode, Tamsin Jones, co-founder of TheBoardroom Africa speaks with Sizakele Marutlulle, a catalyst and change-maker, sharing her career journey, board insights and impact driven works.
Sizakele has over 23 years' experience in business leadership, brand building, innovation and people development. Prior to founding her company, she was the head of marketing at ABSA Africa, and before then was CEO of Grey Advertising in South Africa. She is a former COO of South Africa Tourism and received an MA in communications sociology and is completing her PHD which is another entire fascinating topic. Sizakele, or Za, as she is affectionately known, also has extensive board experience, serving as Non-Executive Director on the Boards of various South African Listed and Blue Chip companies; Rhodes Food Group, and Lewis Group to name a few. In 2017 she launched Fentrepreneurs, an initiative that aims to help women build bankable and scalable future-fit businesses and offers solutions on how financial lenders can stop using a gender lens that disadvantages women.
So Sizakele, this is a pretty amazing list of achievements…Can you tell us a bit more about yourself and your journey to the top?
Firstly, thank you for making me your first candidate. I am really, really honoured. My journey is a long one and it is also not typical — as it wasn't a planned process. When I was younger and very good at maths and science, my mother wanted to me to be a doctor, but I came across blood and that was the end of that idea. As soon as I got hold of writings by Maya Angelou and Toni Morrison and all the people who started my feminist consciousness, I got an increasing interest in representation, identity formation and image creation. So those things became dominant in my brain and I knew that it was a fascinating opportunity and field for me to explore.
I lost about two years after finishing high school because my mother was a single parent at the time and trying to raise three children on a nurse's salary wasn't really the easiest thing. So, in that time I was modelling, I sold insurance, and the third year after high school I finally got a banking loan and went off to university. At that time, I registered for a liberal arts degree majoring in sociology and political science and I threw in a bit of French because the French lecturer was good looking. At the end of my junior degree I had to do a piece of work — present a paper — and I started exploring in earnest the field of identity formation and creation and creativity and that's how I ended up writing a paper called "Is advertising meant to be socially responsible, or socially responsive?". That then led me to interviewing people in the advertising sector, and I started with the guys at Herdbuoys Agency who remain up until this day South Africa's first black owned and black managed advertising agency. I also went to Hunt Lascaris "TBWA" and learnt a little bit more about advertisement. So I was certain that after graduating I would go back and try and find a permanent job in advertising. And that happened in 1994 at Msomi Hunt Lascaris. This was special because I worked on our country's first historic campaign on behalf of the ANC, it was our transition into democracy.
I was too young to understand that I was part of history yet professional enough to pay attention to the people I was meeting and the occasions that were unfolding around me. That started my journey into advertising and from there I went off to New York. I won a scholarship and spent time at Chiat Day and NW Ayer & Partners, which are ad agencies in New York. I came back to South Africa and continued to grow from there. I eventually got back to that agency called HerdBuoys, that I interviewed before in the early nineties while I was finishing university. And rose up to the level of deputy managing director by 2004 and then left and joined South African Tourism as COO.
In a nutshell my journey has always been diverse. I have always responded to challenges that are presented by a career opportunity rather than a planned process that says, "by age 30 this is what I want to do, by age 35 this is what I want to do." When I was not working to solve for corporates as an independent, I was solving inside them as an Executive. We also grew Herdbuoys Agency to a very successful component of the "McCann Erickson network worldwide. When inside corporates I would be doing the same thing, which is influencing the direction of brands and contributing as much as I was aware to the growth of the people who were on my teams or who came into contact with me either as agency partners or business partners.
What about your board journey? When was your first board position?
You know what was really amazing? — When you are a young professional the people you come across who sit on boards tended at least in my case to be older, they also were men, and also were not black. So, it wasn't until perhaps 10 years ago that I actually started opening myself up for opportunities to serve on boards. Because whether we like it or not bias still exists. It's a bias that is ageist, that's also sexist and also limited in terms of racial representation. So, my first board experience was 2003 which was 15 years ago now, for a very tiny family owned business in the Cape which is in the FMCG category. I walked into the environment raw, and if TheBoardroom Africa existed then I guess I would have benefitted from some level of coaching and mentoring. I have had to learn with each appointment since, on what are the things to ask for, what are the things to look for, and to be very specific about the skillset one brings to a board.
One of the threads I was hoping to draw out was the way being female has shaped that journey, but you have very much highlighted those as you have gone. Going through those new experiences and in these environments must have been challenging. Are there any mentors, female or male, that have supported you through this journey given as you say TheBoardroom Africa didn't' exist then?
The one fortunate thing I have experienced in my professional careers is that have I have been adopted by senior males who have taken me under their wing, and just committed to helping me grow which I guess from a personal stand point (I didn't have a father since the age of 13) was quite heart-warming as I did have father figures who were nurturing, who were present, who would offer guidance, support, counselling and discipline in some instances. So my professional journey is littered with amazing human beings who happened to be male, who invested in my growth, whether it was Happy, who was my managing director at Herdbouys, I presently have Brant Pretorious, it's a long list of males who have been present. Where, Tamsin, it was really difficult was at the top of the hill in my advertising career, where I was the youngest and one of three women leading ad agencies at the time, and it felt incredibly lonely, so having mentors was really important for support in those instances when you didn't really know what to do or where to look you at least had a telephone number that you could reach out to. But it wasn't until much later that I benefitted from the counsel of older, wiser women — and they still remain a minority in my circle of wise people.
Are you a mentor to others and how do you see your role as a female leader in terms of giving back or engaging with the community of women who are also on this journey?
I subscribe to the essence that we must lift as we rise. So as soon as my own management style transitioned into a leadership style, and this is something that I had to learn — when you're young, you think barking at people, is a demonstration of authority, is the best way to get your results. And eventually you figure out it's not the best way to do it. The best way to do it is to show respect to people and to assume best intention and also to assume that they deliver their highest levels. I found that as soon as my leadership style transitioned I began to attract young, independent, incredibly ambitious and fierce females who wanted to go somewhere. I have 10 women in my circle — they orbit my universe and we've been together for the last four years. I decided to form a community as it was a lot more expedient, and also, they could learn from one another. They go by the name of Diva's because they are just absolutely fierce and they have a great sense of responsibility to the community as well. My role as a mentor is I am giving to these young leaders everything that I wish I had received at their age, which was guidance, support, discipline, but also truth telling. Because at 33 you can behave as though you have the answers to the world's problems, and as a consequence become unintentionally arrogant or unrealistically impatient.
That's really interesting. I think that there are lessons that are certainly really important for everyone to learn and you can't, as you say, learn it without that truth and honesty in the relationship. Given this is a discussion with TheBoardroom Africa, I want to know how you heard about TheBoardroom Africa and what you plan to achieve through your membership with TheBoardroom Africa?
Firstly, I think the quality and the timing of this intervention is something that the continent is going to reflect on many years from now and will recognise just how poignant it was to have the leadership and imagination of people like Tamsin and Marcia, who present to the world in an organised fashion and answer to "we can't find quality executive women to serve on boards". Why I think it is going to be a success, besides my undying support for the founders, is an understanding that future facing corporates recognise now more than ever that without diversity, and diversity including gender, race, age, skillset, without that dynamism that is presented by that diversity, success will be short term and incredibly unsustainable. So the challenge, TheBoardroom Africa presents to corporates, is whether the quality of their CEOs is of a nature that is visionary, that is creative, but also that is inclusive and long term, because if you are, as a CEO at the top of a corporate, that is either in the top 100 of JSE listed or listed under the New York SE, and you're only thinking about next quarter's financial results, then you're doing your business a great disservice. My hope, which will turn into a reality, which I am confident that TheBoardroom Africa will be able to deliver, is to present to corporates proof that women, such as myself and my other peers who are also members of TheBoardroom Africa not only do we exist and want to contribute, but we also have the skillset, the depth and the nuance to present to boardrooms what is currently lacking today. Just to be clear, I resist the narrative that says that women are meant to be nurturing and walk into a boardroom to be nurturing, that is a deliberate attempt to limit and confine the other skills we bring to life and the other skills we bring to the corporate world. Yes, we are socialised to nurture but that is not all of who we are. We are smart, we are strategic, we are creative, we are complimentary, we are solution providers, we are problem solvers, we are all these other dynamic things that Africa needs today. I am confident that the vision of TheBoardroom Africa will find traction with future facing corporates.
I think Za, with candidates like you and the others we have, you really tell the story that there are definitely women who are qualified and available for those roles, and the traction we are getting is significant and growing and it really is special to give a platform and profile to the amazing leaders across the continent who perhaps aren't getting the access they need to some of these opportunities. We are certainly hoping that we can deliver all of those things to our members who we value very highly. What is your proudest moment in your career so far?
I am chuckling because I was asked that question about two weeks ago. For me, it is not about the attainment of a particular position, my proudest moments are always the moments where I have been able to keep promises to myself. So, let's explain: I choose roles and opportunities based on my ability to be of positive influence. And I have been able to walk into opportunities based on my assumption that that would be possible and walk away when I felt my circle of influence was shrinking. So, my proudest moment are those moments where at the risk of everything else, including physical signifiers of success in those moments where I chose to listen to my truth and walk away if I felt a circle of influence was shrinking, remains the things I am most proud of myself. As you grow and evolve you recognise the different between personal and positional power. Once I figured out that difference, I had no fear about choosing to remain true to the voice that said: "if you can no longer be of influence here, you are no longer useful". So, my moments are when I have been able to remain true to that.
Are there any moments that you're able to share with us — one specific moment where you felt proud?
Let's talk about transitioning from my senior role in South African Tourism because I wanted to go into film making. It was a balancing act between serving my country in the role in South African Tourism, but also supporting a dormant dream at the time to go and learn how to become a screen writer so that I could contribute to the stories that were being told about my country. My leadership at the time felt that the two things were mutually exclusive, although I didn't think so. I actually thought that with more imagination we would have been able to grant me space to go to film school, yet I could still serve my country. In the end, the journey and responsibility at South African Tourism was about presenting a positive picture to the world. And to locals that makes it interesting to discover our nation. So that was one example.
Another key example was most recent of course was my departure from my role at Barclays Africa. It was the most senior role. ABSA/Barclays Africa Bank was the biggest bank in terms of customer numbers in South Africa. We had done incredible work which was transitioning the brand from a sponsorship-based brand to a purpose led banking brand. It came first in its category and went on to win a craft award at Cannes Lions. All those successes were incredibly satisfying, personally, but as the environment unfolded and the culture unfolded it became very clear that my circle of influence was fast shrinking because the corporate politics were overtaking my ability to be creative and problem solve the way that I best know how. I chose to leave that environment and many people still look at me and go "Why would you have done that? It was a very powerful position". And I was then able to respond and say my power doesn't come from position my power comes from my person. Those are the two key examples I can provide.
What would you say to women who are just beginning their careers and hope to make a difference like the difference you've made?
Firstly, I would say that they were born in an amazing time, so this generation is the generation that is going to shift things around. I know that baby boomers said that about the people in my generation said that about the generation before, but I can't think of a more poignant time to be alive and to be a woman, and to be smart and to be very clear about what you want to achieve in the world. So, the first thing would be to figure out what your purpose is, because the faster you can do that, the easier it's going to be for you to decide what to do and what not to do. Because functioning without a purpose means that you may very well just follow whatever is trendy, which may be counterproductive to what you need to do to get to your next level. The first one would be figure out your purpose. The second one would be please pay attention to relationships — nurture them and focus on the giving because the getting will take care of itself. It is quite off putting when you come across young people who are selfishly ambitious who come to relationships to take, versus thinking about ways in which they can contribute, so I would challenge them to be benevolent as they rise to the top because there's no point in summiting Mt. Everest on your own, because you could end up taking a selfie, right? And that's not cool! You want to take people along with you, so when you do reach your highs there are people around you who can celebrate that success with you. The third one would be please have a balancing act about how you apply, express and perform your gender because we can't use being female as a reason for driving conversation around diversity and inclusion but also in other instances use it as a reason to chicken out from things. So be careful of how you apply the gender lens. Many exciting things unfold from the unplanned, as long as your intention is to cause no harm, throw yourself into what life presents you with, go with the flow. In the end, it all makes sense. It may feel like a journey is not "A to Z" because it never is, just lean into those detours. Eventually you'll get there.
That is wonderful advice. Thank you so much, Sizakele, for sharing your journey and insights with us, and for those listening, please stay tuned for more of the TBrA Dialogues.

St. Mary Residences

The site is located in the heart of the KL central business district and surrounded by high-rise office buildings. Three residential blocks are positioned in a U-shaped layout, towering around a central park. This configuration on the 4-acre site enables the creation of a garden sanctuary of lush greenery, surrounding a clubhouse and a swimming pool. Tower 1 has a more elongated footprint than the other two towers and fronts the main street in the south of the site. This block rises above a two-level commercial podium block at its base. The curvilinear facade of the podium block softens the building edge whilst the tower block is pushed back away from the street edge, allowing the creation of a landscaped alfresco dining area on ground level, fronting the main street.
The drop-off porch for Tower 1 is located along its northern side, approachable via an internal road. This internal road slices the site into two halves, wrapping around the northern site boundary. Here, a row of piloti frames a double-volume, undercroft zone, which accommodates meeting and function rooms. This creates a passage composed of subtle, diffused light and cool breeze. At the rear, the two other identical towers are placed east-westerly, perpendicular to Tower 1, so as to flank the park on its two sides. This contemporary urban dwelling offers two types of residential units ranging from 1,100 to 1,400 square feet each. All units are distributed over 25 floors with 2 lift lobbies per floor and 4 units per lift lobby. In varying locations, these units offer alternate views of KLCC, KL Tower and the private park below.

Forensic Psychology (2022)
Forensic Psychology links psychology to both criminal behaviour and its reduction and prevention, and to the functions of the legal and correctional systems.

It has been a long, cold, dreary, depressing first week of May here in New England. Heavy clouds and intermittent rain moved into the area last Sunday, and skies have remained gloomy or threatening ever since.
For the first couple of days of the week, I obsessively checked the weather forecast every couple of hours, rooting for it to improve. Instead, it seemed like every time I visited the forecast, it got worse. By Wednesday morning, I still held out hope that we might have a few dry hours for our track meet that afternoon in Worcester. Instead, a half hour before the first event, a bone-chilling rain began falling, and it lingered through the first hour of the competition. Kids who hadn't brought enough warm clothes (pretty much all of them) huddled together in clumps like sorrowful cattle in a muddy field, or took refuge under the small, inadequate tent that we had brought with us, or snuck off to hide in the bus.
Upon arrival, we had been told that the jumping events would all be canceled because the "all-weather" surface used for the high jump apron and long/triple jump runways had become slick and oily. But the rest of the meet was on, including the throwing events even though teenage hands were too cold to grip the implements properly and throws fell far short of personal bests. On the track, kids "warmed up," but some were still shivering as they took their positions in starting blocks or at starting lines of the distance events. As any coach would do, I pretended to a cheerfulness and enthusiasm that I didn't really feel. I was cold, too, and the cold was exhausting physically and mentally.
Eventually the rain moved on, and we managed to finish the meet more or less on time, and then we hustled the kids back on the bus and back to school without anyone succumbing to hypothermia. As for me, I didn't really warm up until hours later, and it took standing in a hot shower for twenty minutes.
In truth, this is a tough time of the season. Everyone is sleep-deprived and cranky with work. It's tough to maintain focus — or have focus in the first place. The kids show up to practice complaining about their tests, their homework, their slipping grades, and general malaise. It's hard to get their attention for more than a minute or two. They are looking for an escape, but aren't yet able to lose themselves in drill and workouts.
And I'm cranky, too. I've arrived at the point of the season where I become painfully aware of all the things we won't have a chance to do. The time seems too short, but at the same time I find myself counting the days down to the last meet. I consult the calendar and realize with a shock that commencement is exactly three weeks away, and that will be that.
It must be driving the kids crazy, too. In a normal year, the weather would be cooperating, smoothing the transition from Spring grind to Summer freedom, but we seem to be stuck in the grind cycle. And when the weather does finally turn nice, who will want to show up for track practice, run hard intervals?
A lot of people would use the marathon as a metaphor for this kind of long, drawn-out effort. And it would be tempting and familiar and a cliché to say that our season is a marathon, and we've hit the wall. But we don't run marathons in high school track, we run shorter races that take only a few minutes but are no less heart-breaking for that. And therefore to me, this part of the season is like the end of the third lap in a mile.
How do you run a mile? Each of the four laps has its own distinct character, like a separate movement in a piece of music. The first lap is a bit of a lark, with everyone feeling full of energy and optimism, and the stronger runners claiming their places in the pack or at the front, according to personal preference. The second lap almost always passes without major incident, although there's a fair amount of subtle re-positioning as the race gradually becomes more serious. The third lap — let's come back to the third lap in a moment. The final lap is an all-out commitment to reaching a goal that has come clearly into sight. The strong runners will look haughty as they display their finishing speed, but the also-rans will run hard, too. It's no joke, the last lap of a mile, but almost every runner manages to kick it in and make a good show of it.
But the third lap — it bears little resemblance to the high-spirited start or the dramatic finish. In the third lap the finish is a long way away, and the doubts have crept in. You slow down without realizing it. You want it (the lap, not the race) to be over. It feels like there's no way to prepare for it; you just have to keep moving forward.
The next day, Thursday, was Cinquo de Mayo, which as we all know is a bogus holiday hyped primarily by beer companies trying to associate themselves with beach culture. Even if the patent fakeness of the so-called holiday hadn't muted the celebrations, the persistent nasty weather would have done the job.
So at the beginning of Thursday's practice, I skipped the sombrero and instead noted that May 5th was the birthday of Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, who wrote of faith, doubt, and existential dread. Somehow, it seemed more appropriate.

Tweak says, "Some are a melody"
Clark Kent ( ex_sonofkryp215) wrote in wariscoming,
Entry tags: clark kent, james sirius potter
WHO: Clark Kent and OPEN.
WHAT: A hero can only keep his head down for but so long.
WHEN: Evening.
WHERE: Lawrence, Kansas.
RATING: PG-13.
The vigilante work that Clark had invested in back when he had been in Metropolis had come to a standstill from the moment that Clark had been zapped into Lawrence. Trapped in a world that was not his own, the Kryptonian decided to keep his head down and play it safe for a while. Figure out the new territory, re-learn the rules of the land. Demons, ghosts, elements of the supernatural; it was all so very different from what he was used to back at home. Home was a place filled with science experiments gone wrong, every day criminal masterminds, meteorite infected citizens, and aliens looking to either end the world or to destroy him because of who he was. While the chances of him being on the common radar for the most fun target to play with had been slimmed down, Clark found that he still, surprisingly, missed playing the role of undercover hero. A blur, whisking through the city streets, saving lives and leaving those who were once in distress safely out of harms way.
Tonight, things were different. They were beginning to settle into that apartment complex that they all had worked so hard to set up and the demons who had been after them seemed to be keeping to themselves for the time being. With those factors in mind, Clark decided that he had to do more with himself than spend all his time checking up on Lois, working at the market, and seeking out various items to make his living space more comfortable. He had reached the conclusion long ago that he had his powers for a reason. He had tried to hide them for years at first, but after making that big move to the city and the Daily Planet, Clark had learned differently.
He was meant to do this. Keeping people safe, making sure that the bad guys didn't win. His father had always claimed that his purpose was to save the world.
Except Clark refused to distance himself from it. Becoming alien, ignoring his humanity, his family, his friends - it was too much. Jor-El had high expectations of him, but Clark could not turn his back one what he loved. However, that did not necessarily mean that he had to shy away from what he was capable of at the same time. He could multitask. Even if his attachment to human life did make him weaker.
Eyes closed, Clark used his enhanced hearing to listen. Not to just the area around him, but everywhere. All across the city, he could hear people talking, cars zipping their way through the streets, the clinking of glass and silverware through restaurants, the sounds of feet stomping down stars. And then a sudden rise lifted into the chorus of every day music, breaking Clark's attention away from the various noises and onto a single, high pitched chord: the sound of a woman screaming.
"Let go! Gimme your purse!"
Clark's eyes snapped open and he sped off across the city, his body nothing more than a red and blue blur of color as he sped his way toward the increasing sound of trouble. He skidded to a halt into an open alley, blue eyes locking on a masked man trying to haul a purse from the hands of a mousy looking woman.

James was walking down the street, minding his own business, as he was wont to do. Despite what most people thought, he didn't walk around looking for trouble just because his surname was Potter and he was part Weasley. Trouble simply seemed to find him. It might have something to do with his amazingly low boredom treshold which was no better in his twenties than it had been when he was fifteen or when he was two. However, again, that really wasn't any fault of his own.
So, he was minding his own business when he happened to hear the sound of a woman screaming. Now typically most people would go the other way, especially since it was becoming darker out. However, James always prided himself in being not most people. Furthermore, there was something fundemental in him that could never allow him to leave someone in need. Before James could make the decision to either run or apparate or whatever, a felt a strong gust of wind push past by him.
Frowning, quickly he took to his feet. Towards, the woman's scream. She didn't sound to be that far away.
ex_sonofkryp215
By the time James whisked out to the scene, the crook was toppling into a set of trashcans and onto the alley floor in an unconscious heap. Still alive, without a doubt, but quite out of focus. He wouldn't be waking for a good while. When he did? Clark expected he'd be surprised to find that the alley surroundings he'd been in before had quickly transformed into that of a prison cell. He would have almost felt sorry for him if it weren't for the fact that he had just tried to mug an innocent woman.
"Here you go, ma'am," Clark could be heard saying from a little ways down, one arm extended as he offered the woman her purse. "Are you hurt?" When she denied injury, Clark escorted the woman halfway down the alley before pausing at the sight of a somewhat familiar face. Now where had he seen that guy before?
"Everything is okay here," Clark assured him, leading the woman out to where she had already verified she'd be hailing up a taxi for herself. Promising himself he'd watch and wait for her to depart, Clark glanced back at the man and, slightly puzzled, added: "Do I know you?"
With a crooked grin, James answered Clark, even as a quirked brow gazed over the other male's shoulder without any sympathy at the unconscious crook, "Can't say that you do but reckon you rememeber seeing me around at the house? I've been helping out, fixing it up and all that." Extending his hand, he offered a name, "James Potter. One of the wizarding folk." He said, he preferred that more than the 'Harry Potter people'. "Pleasure to finally offcially meet you, mate."

Police: Drugged up drag racer on 128 unhurt as other driver, passenger crash, are ejected from their car
By adamg on Fri, 06/07/2019 - 10:06am
State Police report a Dorchester man and a female teen racing another car on 128 north in Westwood suffered serious injuries when they were ejected from their Hyundai Elantra after crashing into a third car around 5 a.m.
State Police report they were racing David Hector, 19, of Norwood, in his Chevy Malibu. Hector was not involved in the crash near University Avenue, but was arrested on charges of operating under the influence of drugs, racing a motor vehicle, negligent operation and marked-lanes violation.
State Police say the Dorchester man, 19, hit a Suzuki SUV, which caused him to lose control of his car, which then rolled over and crashed. Both he and his 17-year-old companion were taken to Boston trauma centers. The driver of the Suzuki SUV they hit was taken to Faulkner Hospital with minor injuries, State Police say.
Innocent, etc.

By Beanzzz on Fri, 06/07/2019 - 1:09pm.
I believe the "they" referred to are the people in the 08 Elantra, not the Staties themselves.
"Preliminary investigation by Trooper Nicholas Keating indicates that at about 5:00 a.m., DAVID HECTOR, 19, of Norwood was traveling on Route 95 Northbound in a 2011 Chevrolet Malibu, allegedly racing a 2008 Hyundai Elantra operated by a 19-year-old Dorchester man. As the vehicles were traveling just south of Exit 13 in Westwood, the Hyundai struck a 2001 Suzuki SUV, which was also traveling northbound at the time. Following that collision, the operator of the Hyundai lost control of the vehicle, causing it to rollover and crash. During the rollover, the operator and his 17-year-old female passenger were both ejected from the vehicle."
The Joke.

Enough, please
By adamg on Fri, 06/07/2019 - 10:33am.
I know it's hard to believe, but you don't need to make everything about bicyclists, except, maybe, when they're caught riding in the same basic area on 128.
Or in the tunnel downtown
By Russ on Fri, 06/07/2019 - 11:02am.
Seems like we see video of some dude biking in traffic in the I-93 tunnel fairly regularly.
*snicker*
Oh yeah, if I had an Elantra or a Malibu, I'd be racing everyone else with an I4 every day...
Dumbasses. Glad the innocent Suzuki driver wasn't injured seriously but their car is probably totaled and it's a major hassle to deal with missing work/etc.
