The first thing I want to share is something that I like it very much and a lot of friends have been asking where to purchase it! It's a wadrobe mirror!
Ahem, pardon my messy room!
It's a beautiful british style mirror right? I chose my favourite color, white!
Am I terrible to have these accessories? I think girls are like that!
Bracelets or necklaces are hanged beautifully here! Love it so much!
Second stuff is something that mostly girls know it.
Anyone heard of Fauchon before? It's a French gourment food company in Paris. They are famous of sweets, chocolates, teas including macarons! I bought a pretty good bag of it from Kinokuniya a month ago and I love it! I find that Kinokuniya always is a good place to discover good stuffs!
Basically it's a multi-purpose bag and it looks so trendy!
Another thing that I would like to share about is bra bag, I think many of you have seen it before?
For those who take care of their brassiere, I recommend you this!
Everytime when I pack, I feel sorry for my bras because they tend to arrive dented, so I think it's a savior of my bras? Haha!
The most favourite stuff that I've got, Sony Nex F3!
Recent pictures all taken by Nex F3, a lot of my friends are now Sony Nex F3 family too!
Anyone want me to do a review of it?

Recycle batteries for a greener world
When we think of the means available to us to save the planet, there is consensus around electric cars. However, the question that many are asking remains: "But what are we going to do with all these batteries when they are at the end of their life? The answer is being worked on.
Some major car manufacturers are actively addressing the issue and have already begun to develop processes so that the famous batteries of electric vehicles can be recycled almost infinitely. The Volkswagen Group, in particular, is already in action.
In a desire to reduce emissions on the planet, the German firm is currently working in collaboration with the company Redwood Materials to recycle the materials present in the lithium-ion batteries of electric vehicles. Its wish: to manufacture the future batteries of its electric vehicles using recycled materials, drawn from the old batteries of its fleet of electric vehicles.
Together, the two firms are well on their way to providing road users with another good reason to replace their gasoline-powered vehicle with an electric car.

Lucid Car Batteries
A valuable collaboration
The collaboration is currently going well between the two companies. Volkswagen dealers and those of its Audi subsidiary take care of removing the batteries from electric vehicles that are at the end of their life. You should know here that a battery is considered to be at the end of its life when it reaches around 70% of its original capacity.
Once mined, the batteries are shipped directly to Nevada, where Redwood Materials is based, a company that was founded by a rather knowledgeable man in the field, Jeffrey Brian Straubel, who was co-founder and Tesla's first technical director.

In its Nevada plant, his company will therefore recycle certain materials, as it does with other manufacturers (Ford and Toyota, in particular), and will then send them back to car manufacturers who can use them in new electric vehicles. Moreover, it is agreed that each manufacturer will only receive materials extracted from its own electric vehicles and not from vehicles of other manufacturers.
With regard to recycled materials, we are talking here about lithium, cobalt and nickel, among others. However, when we know what it costs the planet to extract these raw materials, we can safely say that this is excellent news.
It is understood that a firm like Volkswagen, still relatively new in the field of electric vehicles, will have to wait a few years before its batteries reach the end of their life. But until then, the work is still well and truly underway, since test batteries are already being sent to Nevada for use in the company's research center.
all new, all beautiful
The industry is in its infancy, which does not prevent Redwood Materials from already recycling, each year, the equivalent of at least 60,000 electric vehicles in its Nevada plant. It's not nothing ! Not to mention that this recycling will reduce the cost of batteries for future electric vehicles. A great deal from an ecological and financial point of view, therefore.
The process, which seems as happy as it is logical, is still not so simple. Currently, some argue that current recycling processes have losses. The problem is that recycled batteries are made with materials that, overall, are less functional than they were before recycling. Less effective too. The kind of problem that will have to be solved to reach the full potential of this process under development.

The fact remains that the transition to electric vehicles and green energy is fast approaching and that, in this context, rechargeable batteries will be a major asset.
If this battery recycling project works as manufacturers wish, it will be interesting to measure the impact of this process on our ecological footprint.
That said, regardless of the results to come and how quickly you get them, I'm first and foremost impressed with how much automotive craftsmen are investing in research to leave a planet more own. The environment is in the process of reinventing itself and, decidedly, it is to its credit.

1. 10 sets of loose fossils that are common in Minnesota (we could put 1 set at each table for students to look at) and then 1 glued down identified set (could be diorama like or could be organized by time period or both).
2. Index fossils or rocks with index fossils in them that students could have to put in order from oldest to youngest.
3. Organisms that are related but lived in different places at the same time or organisms that were related but lived in different time periods (so they can see the evolving features).
4. Organisms that would help us show how Minnesota's environment was changing over time. (from similar location, but in different layers of rocks).
5. A few larger fossils that help us show students that not all animals and plants were so small back then.
I know this is a big list, and I am not sure what is really possible, but these were some of the ideas that we talked about when we met. We will appreciate anything you are able to share with us. We are so so excited that you are offering to help us make this unit more engaging for our students.
1. Explain how the fossil record documents the appearance, diversification, and extinction of many life forms.
2. Use internal and external anatomical structures to compare and infer relationships between living organisms as well as those in the fossil record.
3. Recognize that variation exists in every population and describe how a variation can help or hinder an organism's ability to survive.
4. Recognize that extinction is a common event and it can occur when the environment changes and a population's ability to adapt is insufficient to allow its survival.
5. Interpret successive layers of sedimentary rocks and their fossils to infer relative ages of rock sequences, past geologic events, changes in environmental conditions, and the appearance and extinction of life forms.
I hope these help you to understand where we are coming from. All of us are also very interested in coming out to tour the barn. We will put our heads together and come up with a few dates that might work for the 3 of us and then send them your way.
Well, I opened my mouth and now I must produce!!!!! #1 and #5 were easy to take care of. #3 is partially done in that I do not have fossils, let alone index fossils for some of the Periods that are younger than Devonian. Any suggestions of inexpensive index fossils? I do have Cambrian, Ordovician, Devonian, and Mississippian covered.
In addition, I would appreciate thoughts on how to accomplish #3 and #4? I do have some ideas, but am interested in what others think.
In closing, I will post one project I put together tonight.
In this scene, bivalves are seen burrowing through the sand. Attached to the rocky substrate are both brachiopods and barnacles. To be learned from this creation is the theory that brachiopods likely had intense competition for anchoring spots when barnacles came into existence and flourished. Yet the bivalves, in a different sandy niche, continued to prosper. Then comparisons can be made with today's situation of Zebra mussels and the indigenous mollusks that they are destroying. Ironically, they use the mollusks as a place to attach choking the life out of them. Revenge for the brachiopods!!!
When I think inexensive index fossils, I think rice foraminifera but for younger sediments, I'd look at chespecten jeffersonius (may have spelled that incorrectly) which only lived between 4-5 MYA. I think maybe a Mako tooth, a Hastilis tooth, and a Great white could demonstrate evolution pretty well and pretty cheap, they don't have to be big specimens. And the Megalodon is a rather large fossil creature, big teeth in poorer condition are cheap and with some investment nicer ones can be bought.
What an interesting project. I have gone 1 step further: I have sought out teachers to give a set of fossils to after I gave them a paleontology talk.
If you want to be scientifically accurate, the brachiopods (Paleozoic) in the photo did not live with the much more recent type of barnacles (early Triassic to present) where the shell is directly attached to the substrate.
@DPS Ammonite, thanks for your input! You are absolutely correct in pointing out the mixture of species and info will be provided to the instructor as to where the fossils originated from. As just a casual collector, I only have limited specimens. But for illustration purposes, this was to represent a "story", not actual past life. I have also been asked to give the paleontology talk, but my limited knowledge would quickly show through when speaking to advanced students. So I will leave the presentations to the instructors!!!! We will have better educated children this way.
@WhodamanHD, I do have foraminifera from a quarry in Brooksville, Florida. Thanks for the suggestion!
Am I to understand Makos lead to Isurus hastalis which lead to Great Whites?? I have found and have been given Mako teeth.
I also have found and been given Meg teeth. So these are truly index fossils?? If so, I am getting closer!!
Am I to understand Makos lead to Hastilis which lead to Great Whites?? I have found and have been given Mako teeth.
Some sort of skinny toothed Mako likely lead to Carcharodon hastalis, which is usually broader on the upper teeth (well in the broad toothed form, it's kinda confusing), which lead to the GW, so you start with a skinny tooth, then a broad tooth, then a broad tooth which has serrations. Little example of evolution. I meant megs for the big fossil item, but they are usually restricted to later Miocene to early Pleistocene. It's also has a cool evolutionary path, from Otodus, to a serrated form (like auriculatus and angustidens), and slowly the cusps go away into Megalodon. Angustidens and Otodus are usually inexpensive.
My Makos are fairly broad. So is this something different?? As you can tell, I know very little about shark's teeth.
Your "Mako" is probably a Hastalis, they are often called Makos despite being revised into white sharks. Regular Makos are relatively cheap, and GW can go cheap especially from places like South Carolina.

The 1975 – I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it
Kürzlich erschien die zweite THE 1975-Platte I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it. Exklusiv für Popmonitor hat Sänger MATT HEALY acht der neuen Tracks herausgepickt, kommentiert und ein paar einleitende Worte gefunden…
If you compare this record with the last one, there are obvious differences. Musically, we are flirting with a lot more ideas. The biggest change for me is the way I was writing. On the first record I was very hopeful, naive and I was always talking about the desire to better my life. This time we were playing with acceptance and wisdom. That's just part of getting older. The 1975 is pretty much a whole world for me. I started expanding on this world and to understand what The 1975 was, so that's why this record is very self-aware. It knows it's a record.
I wanted this record to be very The 1975 – having all these kind of references and also being self-referential. The first song on this album is saying "it's also the first song on the first album". I wanted it to be the first thing you hear to get the idea of it being an evolution. We took the old version, stripped it back and re-worked it. Then we had a gospel choir who we also used on "If I Believe You" and "This Must Be My Dream". It came up very quickly.
That's one of the only songs that actually came from us playing live. We were bored during soundchecks. I remember I played this riff and we all really liked it. At the time we were playing we were really obsessed with the idea of being big rock stars and also aware of being rock stars. We were asking ourselves how to deal with it. "Love Me" came out of that. Confidence meets insecurity!
That one came very quickly. It was originally a very slow R&B song, but it didn't quite fit the album. Then I wrote that bass line and from there it just kind of sped up. I re-wrote all of the lyrics and at that point we really enjoyed being in the studio. It's about the culture of cocaine and about what people are like – that kind of self-awareness and the lack of self-awareness if you use cocaine.
On certain days my mind changes about what my favourite song is, but "Change of Heart" probably is my favourite song. For me it feels like a song that wrote itself. This sounds pretentious, but I didn't really feel the writing process – it just kind of materialised. We just let it loop: the bass line and the drum pattern. I just sang over it. I like the fact that there's a one minute solo in the middle of the song. There's a lot of drama in it.
SHE'S AMERICAN
I think that song is fun. It's a tribute to those kinds of songs. I don't mind that pop music is about fun. The only problem I have with pop music is when it's not about anything. There're not enough really good pop bands saying anything – only too many self-aware indie bands that are too scared about being cool. In this case the song itself is about not being about anything. That's what great pop music is about: It's about fun done well. The song tells you a strory about the relationship between a young British boy in a band in America and a young American girl.
LOST MY HEAD
That's the first track I ever wrote as The 1975. It was just a song that I recorded in my bedroom in 2010. We recorded it again for this album with strings all over it.
THE BALLAD OF ME AND MY BRAIN
That song is just about me looking through my brain. I think it's about the idea of losing your mind, literally. There're so many references in it: bands like The Replacements. And there's so much immediacy in its vocals. I like that one.
I LIKE IT WHEN YOU SLEEP, FOR YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL YET SO UNAWARE OF IT
We were making the record and I said at one point: This is what we gonna call the album! Not because it's the best lyric and not because it matches the album. It's just because we made a decision and if we make a decision like that, it means that we can do whatever the fuck we want. You can make whatever kind of record. It's almost ridiculous, but it's a way of getting rid of the pressure.

GRAND ILLUSIONS | From Thousand Oaks student to the world stage, Ivan Amodei reveals magical secrets
Sep 26, 2018 | Art and Culture, Cover Story, Emily Dodi, Feature, Thousand Oaks | 0 |
Amodei Secrets & Illusions Napoleon trick.
Ivan Amodei found his passion for magic while attending Cal Lutheran University.
"Great illusion centers around meaning," says world-renowned illusionist Ivan Amodei. In the case of his new show, Secrets & Illusions: Unlock Your Destiny, "meaning" is with a capital M. Coming to the Scherr Forum Theatre at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza on Oct. 6, Secrets & Illusions is billed as a "psychological thriller that reveals the secrets to life, one illusion at a time." The show endeavors to "inspire and motivate you to discover your destiny."
It's a lofty goal, but it's not a new one for Amodei. The Boston Globe has described his craft as "magic with a message," and Amodei has earned an international following for his performances that spark not only amazement but thought and self-reflection.
"I can change a blue ball into a red ball, but I'd rather make [an illusion] meaningful," says Amodei. "A truly great illusion must be something more." Some of his most well-known illusions include "It's Destined to Happen," "Mona Lisa's Secret," "The Miracle Worker" and "Time Is Precious." Some are funny, others are dangerous, but with each one, Amodei hopes to inspire the audience to do something profound themselves, like face their fears or find love.
He finds inspiration almost anywhere, from sitting in a coffee shop to walking down a city street. Once he gets a glimmer of an idea, he has to see it to fruition.
"I can't get it out of my mind. I have to make it a reality." From there he begins to construct and choreograph the illusion. He builds the storyline and chooses the music. Probably most important is figuring out what the illusion should say. What will the audience experience while watching it? What revelations or questions will they take away from it?
In Secrets & Illusions, Amodei says that, "Underlying all the magic is the question: How do we discover our destiny?" The show is meant to take the audience on a journey to "unlock their purpose. There are a lot of illusions, surprises and twists in the show, but it's more about what the illusions tell you."
Amodei and his wife, Jennifer, were inspired to create Secrets & Illusions after finding themselves in the Louvre Museum in Paris near closing time. "We were alone in these amazing galleries," she recalls. "The world became so magical. We thought, how do we bring that to the stage?" In the end, they set out to create a show that would "uncover life's greatest mysteries inside priceless works of art."
Secrets & Illusions girl with violin
They enlisted the help of RabCup, a tech-driven production company, to create illusions of their own: the shimmering Louvre Pyramid, the moonlit streets of Paris and famous works of art that come to life. Onstage, Amodei is accompanied by violinist Karoline Menezes who plays music that sets the tone and helps guide the audience on an adventure.
The illusions revolve around universal themes like love, fear, time, the power of intuition and the laws of attraction. In Amodei's signature style, the illusions are immersive and interactive, whether he calls on one audience member or hundreds to participate.
"The whole audience is involved in the trick about time. It makes you think about how valuable [it] is," he says. When it comes to any illusion, Amodei adds, "You are making all the deductions. I'm basically leading you down a path." Then he points out a fundamental truth: "Magic is not happening with your eyes. It's happening with your mind. I want you to watch and think about [an illusion]. You might [go home] and think about it for weeks."
Amodei has been thinking about magic for a long time. He knew he wanted to be a magician when he was 5 years old. Born in Cosmo, Sicily, and raised in Brooklyn, Amodei began doing magic after he saw a family friend perform a trick. "He was a close-up magician," Amodei recalls. Even as a child, watching the man perform, Amodei wanted to explore the greater possibilities of magic. He remembers thinking, "There's got to be something more."
Amodei doesn't say whether he figured out how the man did the trick. Even to this day, Amodei doesn't study the work of other illusionists too closely.
"If I see an illusion I like, I run the other way. I admire a lot of illusionists but I really like to create my own." His admiration for illusionists of the past led him to write the book Magic's Most Amazing Stories: A Collection of Incredible Stories From World-Famous Magicians (Eclipse, 2010). True to the magician's code, Amodei shares anecdotes but he doesn't reveal any secrets.
He attended Cal Lutheran University and hoped to become a plastic surgeon, but soon switched majors to advertising and marketing. His heart wasn't in that either. "I decided to give [magic] a try. After all, it would only be me that would starve." To support himself and hone his craft, Amodei worked as a waiter in Thousand Oaks and performed close-up magic tricks for his customers. He was a hit and soon had a large following. The experience was good training. Surrounded by an audience that was mere inches away, Amodei remembers trying out a new trick and thinking, "How am I going to get this done?"
After 20 years of performing, there is still a first time performing any illusion. "Nobody gets it right the first time," he admits. "You have to do an illusion in front of people over and over again before you understand the subtleties." That's where thinking on your feet becomes one of an illusionist's greatest skills.
After the restaurant came corporate events and larger shows. In 2008, he opened Intimate Illusions at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. Now in his 10th year in residence at the hotel, Amodei performs close-up magic in the show, designed as an elegant, semiformal affair, set in a suite.
Secrets & Illusions Starry Night
A particularly memorable moment in his career came when he stumped Penn & Teller on their TV show Penn & Teller: Fool Us on the CW Network. The trick involved Amodei guessing the name of the state written on cards held by audience members, as well as by Penn Jillette. After 12 minutes of deliberating, Penn and Teller gave up trying to figure out the secret behind the trick. Amodei walked away a winner.
From a restaurant dining room to the world stage, Amodei has performed magic in almost every setting. Wherever he performs, one thing remains the same: It's always different and the unexpected can happen at any time.
"Magic happens because of the audience. It's more magical if nothing is planned. That makes every performance unique," he says. "I know we have to get from point A to point B, but how we'll get there is up to the audience. A lot of thought goes into every illusion, but it comes down to performing. There are challenging illusions I've done 10 times that have changed 180 degrees during a performance."
Some illusions are especially challenging, like the one involving a 14-inch blade, which some venues have asked to have nixed from the act because it is so dangerous. (Amodei and the venue usually come to an understanding and he ends up performing the illusion.)
Sometimes, what happens is more unexpected than usual. There was the time the lights went out in the theater in the middle of a performance. Then there was the time the fire alarm went off and another time when someone fainted. Now Amodei never takes the stage without having a high-powered flashlight, a first aid kit and a glass of water at the ready backstage, just in case. Thinking on your feet also means always being prepared.
Amodei in his studio.
There is something or rather someone that every illusionist faces: the skeptic. "Sometimes [there can be an] antagonistic relationship between the magician and the audience … but I keep away from that. If you think negative you get negative back." Amodei would rather redirect the conversation. He will talk about something universal like the law of attraction to bring the audience on his side. Still, he admits, "There is always a certain percentage of people who are determined to figure out [an illusion]." He shrugs. "I don't care if you figure it out," he says, "[but] you'll miss the whole point." The point, he says, is to "sit back and have a fun time." And who knows, you may walk away a little closer to figuring out your destiny.
As for Amodei, is magic his destiny?
"I'm not sure," he replies. It seems that the future is the greatest mystery of all. It's up to you to make it magic.

Hewitt-Trussville's Jenna Lord joins growing list of Huskies set to play collegiate softball
Posted By: Trussville Tribune staffon: October 01, 2019 In: Local News, Sports
Joshua Huff, sports editor
TRUSSVILLE — Just over a month removed from packing up shop in central Florida and making the move northeast to central Alabama, Jenna Lord — one of the newest members of the Hewitt-Trussville softball team — has already set her eyes on her next destination: Tuscaloosa.
Lord, a 2019 MaxPreps Sophomore All-American, announced her commitment to the University of Alabama this past weekend.
"I talked to so many people about the opportunity to play there," Lord said of Alabama. "Each time I talked to them, I asked them what their favorite thing about it and they always say the coaches. I was obviously intrigued by that. I then fell in love with the staff. They're amazing people. They recruit so well. They go through such a particular process."
Alabama was not the only program that Lord has visited throughout these past few months. She went on several official visits to Ohio State, UAB and Clemson, but it was her visit with the Crimson Tide this past week that sealed the deal.
"I'm grateful for the opportunity that I had," Lord said of those college visits. Few high school athletes are afforded the opportunity to continue to participate in college athletics. In fact, just around 2% of high school athletes go on to play at NCAA Division I programs. That just goes to show the caliber of player that the Huskies are getting in Lord.
Lord joins a plethora of Husky players who have committed, or have verbally committed, to play softball collegiately. Lord's arrival follows a season in which Hewitt-Trussville captured its first state softball championship this past May following a 44-15-1 season. The Huskies claimed the crown after defeating Sparkman, 8-4, in the deciding game.
Hewitt-Trussville returns a team that is expected to contend for another state title. Among those players that have committed to play in college are: senior Abigail Dorsett, who is a verbal commit to Samford University. She plans on signing during the fall signing period. The center fielder capped a 2019 season in which she hit .267 with 15 RBI and 20 hits with an excellent state tournament.

Senior Kaitlyn Hughes verbally committed to South Alabama in August. Hughes, a pitcher, has gone 17-4 in three years for the Huskies. She has allowed just four homeruns and has struck out 97 in 137.2 innings pitched; Junior Anyce Harvey is a verbal commit to Middle Tennessee State. The short stop/utility player, who also plays basketball for the Huskies, has been a force at the plate. Through two seasons, Harvey is hitting .384 with 64 RBI and nine homeruns. She also was part of a 2018-19 girls' basketball team that reached the AHSAA Final Four; Junior Madi Mitchell is an early commitment to Birmingham Southern.
With a roster compiled of future collegiate players, Hewitt-Trussville will be a force to reckon with next season. The Huskies' championship aspirations would be icing on the cake for Lord after falling just short this past year. Lord helped lead Sunlake High School to a 24-3 record and claimed its first Class 7A, District 10 title.
In that 2019 season, Lord hit .542 with 44 runs, 46 RBI with 13 home runs. She was named the Miracle Sports 7A Offensive Player of the Year. She was also named to the Tampa Bay Times' First-Team All-Tampa Bay and First-Team All-North Suncoast after finishing the season tied for most home runs in the state and finishing in the top 10 in RBIs.
Excluding travel ball, in Lord's two seasons with Sunlake she hit .484 with 81 RBI, 19 home runs with a .549 on base percentage and a .974 slugging percentage.
Training has already kicked into high gear for the Huskies, and Lord already feels at home with her new team.
"They're great," Lord said. "We work out three days a week, so we're usually pretty smoked."
The training will continue for the Huskies as fall bleeds into winter. Come spring, Hewitt-Trussville will open the 2020 season as the reigning state champions with a roster loaded with talent and its eyes set on bringing home another crown.

ARSENAL could be forced to abandon their pursuit of Juventus striker Sebastian Giovinco.
The Gunners are thought to have held preliminary talks with the Biaconeri over a loan move, as they seek to shore up their attacking options.
With Theo Walcott out injured, Arsene Wenger appears to be keen to bolster his firepower to help out Olivier Giroud.
Though the Gunners have been monitoring Giovinco's situation, his agent's latest comments may force them to back off.
"There's been a request for information but a deal is still far from being done," Claudio Pasqualin said.
"It is logical that that the interest of a club like Arsenal is flattering and something to be proud of, but, once again, at the moment there are no negotiations underway between Juventus and the Gunners.
Giovinco has been marginalised at Juve, making just two appearances so far this season.

Even though Jacques leaves the day-to-day operations to his devoted staff, he is still very much involved in the vision and direction of the company for the future.
Céline Bédard, Director General
Céline, Jacques Bédard's oldest daughter, started working for the family business in 1991 doing anything from accounting to delivering material on construction sites.

During those years, she gained valuable experience working for various companies. She returned to the family business in 2002, this time working as a Health & Safety Manager where she continued to gain knowledge of the company and the industry. She became Director General in 2008.
Laurier Cadieux, Vice-President of Operations
Laurier was hired in February 1979 as an equipment operator. Moving up from backhoe to excavator operator to site foreman all the way to Vice-President of Operations, Laurier has over 35 years of experience in the excavation industry. He works in estimating as well as overseeing the site operations and the shop. Laurier's expertise and name are well-known and respected throughout the City of Ottawa and he is a valuable member of the Bédard team.
Claude Cadieux, Site Foreman
Claude, Laurier' son, joined the company at the age of 16 and started working as a as labourer. He learned the trade and worked as a grademan, then became an operator, first on a backhoe and later on, an excavator. His experience and dedication to Jacques Bédard Excavation Ltd. made him an excellent choice for a supervisory position, which he has occupied for many years.
Louis Prézeau, Site Foreman
Louis applied and was hired as a bulldozer operator in May 1997. He had many years of valuable experience and made a great addition to the Bédard team.

Alexandre Lair, Site Foreman
Alex came to us in January 2018 with 5 years of experience as an excavator, backhoe and Bobcat operator. He was originally hired to operate a Bobcat but it quickly became apparent that he had leadership skills and that he would be a valuable asset in a supervisory role, which he now occupies.

LIFE OF THE PARTY Review: Melissa McCarthy Flunks Out Again
In which Ben Falcone proves he should go back to film school.
By Leigh Monson May. 10, 2018
Melissa McCarthy is a very talented comic actress. She has a remarkable gift for physical comedy, and her improv skills can be directed toward some tightly cut gags that sell a broader storyline. She particularly excels when working with Paul Feig, as films like Spy and the Ghostbusters remake deftly show, but when she takes direction from husband and screenplay collaborator Ben Falcone, McCarthy's talents are wasted on formless star vehicles that don't serve any purpose beyond further exposing McCarthy's popular presence. We've seen this before with the boring spectacles of Tammy and The Boss, but now the third time is most certainly not the charm in Life of the Party, which is one-hundred minutes of self-indulgence and tedium, even if it's well-meaning in its intentions.
McCarthy stars as Deanna, a painfully Midwestern mother of a college senior. Deanna's life is turned upside down when her asshole husband decides to suddenly divorce her. Suffering from a crisis of how to proceed with her life, Deanne decides that she needs to go back to school to complete her unfinished degree in archaeology (…sure), going so far as to move into a dorm and ingratiating herself into her daughter's sorority, which of course leads to partying and shenanigans.
And that's about it as far as the shaky plot of this thing goes, as there isn't really any sort of consistent conflict that plagues Deanna throughout her college experience. Continuing Falcone's bizarre penchant for making films that don't acknowledge any flaws in his wife's characters, Deanna is continually portrayed as endearing for her clumsy attempts to reintegrate into youth culture, with nearly every character constantly reminding her of just how loveable she is. No character escapes being reduced to the dimensionality of an undercooked SNL bit, including McCarthy's Deanna, wasting great talent such as Gillian Jacobs, Stephen Root, Maya Rudolph, and Chris Parnell on sycophantic nods to McCarthy's apparent monolithic greatness. Even the film's petty villains – a pair of fellow female students narcissistically absorbed in their own beauty in a failed effort to age up that tired high school trope – are mean simply for the sake of being mean, not driven by any pathos or motivation beyond Deanna being… older, I guess?
The shallow characters might have been worthwhile if the film had any proper gags to hold them up, but the film is built solely around letting McCarthy spitball around basic scene set-ups and hoping the chaos that spews from her mouth will carry the film to the next scene, where the practice is repeated ad nauseam. The few scripted sequences of physical and situational comedy the film offers play like gangbusters in an ocean of half-baked improv, which sidelines every other performer in favor of placing McCarthy at the center of a virtual one-woman show that she admittedly does a good of job of pretending to carry. But the comedy suffers for the egotism or love of the subject, depending on whether you believe McCarthy or Falcone is the driving creative influence on the film.
I have a lot of respect for the fantasy Life of the Party is selling. Many women have given up dreams of education and careers to adhere to their husbands' plans for their future, and divorce as an impetus to rebuild one's life and go back to school is a relatable wish to explore, particularly for those women who aren't able to afford doing so. For those midlife crisis moms in the audience, Melissa McCarthy may just have the key to their psyches that will carry them through to the credits. But for the rest of us, Life of the Party is just another exercise in shallow hedonism.

CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME Review: A Convincing Imitation Of Life

Melissa McCarthy stuns in Marielle Heller's caper-y new drama.


Two-thirds of consumers across the UK, France and Germany would like to see a recognisable carbon footprint label on products, according to a new survey carried out for the Carbon Trust.
The study of over 5,000 consumers across Europe's three largest economies, which was spearheaded by YouGov in the run up to this year's international climate change negotiations in Marrakech, found that 56 per cent of UK consumers would feel more positive about a company that has reduced the carbon footprint of their products.
France and Germany would also feel better about firms that want to bring down their carbon output, with 75 and 50 per cent expressing this in the survey respectively.
Despite the positive sentiments much of the surveys results, it did highlight an apparent value-action gap, which indicates that although a majority of consumers express that it is a good idea to use a carbon footprint label, just over half admit that they do not generally think about a product's carbon footprint when making purchasing decisions.
However the report also points out that approximately one in five shoppers in the UK, France and Germany that do consider climate change impact when making purchasing decisions. Furthermore, 37 per cent say that it is important for them to know that businesses they buy from are taking action to reduce the carbon footprint of their products.
Darran Messem, Managing Director of Certification at the Carbon Trust, believes that it is possible that people are seeing a 'Paris Effect' after the success of securing a global agreement on climate change last year.
"Businesses that communicate their achievements in reducing emissions can secure a reputational advantage over competitors," he said.
"It seems we are reaching a tipping point. The demand for sustainable products is there in principle and actively green consumer behaviour is following in its wake. And this is not just happening in Europe.
"For example at the Carbon Trust we are actively working with the Chinese government on a major new scheme to enable greener purchasing behaviour, with a pilot taking place in Guangdong, which is an economic powerhouse of a province with a population of over 100 million.
"We now have a binding global deal on climate change and consumer attitudes are shifting, which will create opportunities for companies with more sustainable products. Businesses need to be aware of the risks and opportunities that this will create.

John Sloan, Vice Chairman – Allegiance Capital Corp.
Modern American business history is punctuated by amazing individuals who created companies that grew into icons of success through partnerships. If you have launched a new business or own a growing middle market company, powerful partnerships can help you propel profits and boost the value of your company.
Partnerships can take many forms. While some require a financial investment, many can be created by simply working with others in a mutually beneficial way. A Peterbilt truck dealership in Florida partnered with their mechanics and a local tech school to create a winning combination for everyone. The dealership had six repair bays and four over-worked journeyman mechanics each working 50 – 60 hours per week. Consequently, both the productivity and the quality of work suffered. During a meeting with the dealership owner, the mechanics proposed that they be allowed to hire apprentice mechanics from the local tech school to handle the growing workload.
The dealership owner visited the tech school and developed a partnership that would provide outstanding graduates jobs at the dealership as apprentice mechanics. The partnering solution solved the immediate manpower problem at the dealership, provided the dealership an ongoing pool of trained talent and generated an attractive pool of job opportunities for tech school graduates.
The dealership also incorporated an interesting and motivational twist to the partnership program. . Recognizing that when people have "skin in the game" they tend to operate with a greater sense of ownership and accountability, the dealership owner allowed each journeyman mechanic to hire up to four apprentice mechanics. However, each journeyman mechanic was responsible for paying their apprentices and the journeyman mechanics were accountable for quality control. This ensured work was done properly.
Another novel approach taken by the dealership was the implementation of a per-project pay rate. Each journeyman mechanic was paid based upon the "book rate" per job, which enabled them to get more work done and earn more than before. Lastly, the dealership provided the apprentices healthcare and other employment benefits not routinely provided to apprentice mechanics. The partnership produced the following results: productivity and quality of work improved dramatically and customers were pleased their repair jobs were completed faster and with very few quality issues. In addition, as the quantity and quality of repair work improved, so did the value of the dealership.
Potential investors in any industry are always looking for owners who understand the power of partnerships. A partnership can be any relationship that provides a business owner a way to: better serve customers, boost efficiencies, improve employee morale, and ultimately propel profits.
The next time you face an issue in your business, look beyond the realm of your four walls to consider the potential benefits of partnerships. Be open-minded when assessing the field of potential partners as some of the best opportunities may come from: employees, a university, college or trade school, or a local or national association. The perfect partner may also be a supplier or competitor or similar company located in another market. Powerful partnerships can propel profits and boost the value of your business.

Nov 22, 2014: Deep purple, high toned nose, plum, grapey, berry with floral/vilolet a bit of bread and spice.
Medium full bodied, a little raisined, plummy, soft and cushy with medium acidity and gentle tannins with a hotish finish. Fire up the grill for BBQ burgers and steaks.
This Malbec has young aromas and flavours: vegetal, dark berries and pepper. The black pepper is predominant on the palate. With medium high acidity and tannins this wine would pair well with hamburgers and other meats prepared on the grill.

We have a good school funding formula in Kansas
Tue, 01/06/2015 - 17:40 holtonadmin
by David Powls
Shawnee County District Court ruled recently that the State of Kansas is inadequately funding the state's K-12 public schools.
The court's ruling reaffirmed what many Kansans, especially those in the education field, already believed.
In the lawsuit known as the Gannon case, the district court's ruling said the state cannot, and should not, rely on local option taxation to ensure that all Kansas children are receiving an adequate, fair and equal education opportunity in the state.
Local option budgets allows individual school boards and voters the option to raise additional local tax funds to supplement a district's regular general fund budget.
Originally, local option budgets were allowed for individual districts to cover the costs of things above and beyond what the state would fund.
The Kansas State Department of Education warned school districts from using LOB funds for salaries just in case local voters ever said no to the extra taxation. However, LOB funds are now routinely being used for salaries and many districts earlier received taxpayer approval for continuous LOB taxation, although courts have now ruled that is not constitutional.
Many school officials say it has become necessary to use LOB funds for salaries and other basic school needs because the state aid - base state aid per pupil to schools - has fallen from $4,400 per student in the 2009-10 school term to the current level of $3,852 per student.
The cuts to Kansas education started in 2009 as the United States and Kansas economies suffered through the Great Recession. Some federal education funds helped prop up the state education funds for a few years, but now have ceased.
Actions taken by the governor and the State Legislature since then indicate a belief that LOB funding should count toward the state's constitutional duty to adequately fund all public schools.
"The LOB portion of the Kansas school finance formula is not so sufficiently designed today, nor was it structurally originally intended, to stand as a fail-safe funding mechanism that would assure each and every K-12 student the education our Kansas constitution commands and is designed to ensure,'' the district court judges wrote.
The district court ruling will likely be appealed to the Kansas Supreme Court. In the meantime, the Legislature (with the backing of the governor) may seek to overhaul the school funding formula in the upcoming legislative session.
The state started messing with the school funding formula in 2008 when the recession hit, when it stopped making its full equalization payments to school districts in non-metroplitan areas of the state - called the poorer districts. The Kansas Supreme Court ordered the state to restore that funding in 2014.
It seems to me that the place to start is for the state to fully fund the state aid formula that we already have.
Not so long ago, Kansas had a good K-12 education formula - and was proud to fully fund it.

Aldrich Collection
The New Bedford Whaling Museum's Aldrich Collection of photographs consists of 258 images captured by journalist Herbert L. Aldrich (1860-1948) during the 1887 Arctic whaling season. Aldrich spent time on eight New Bedford whaling vessels between March and October of 1887, documenting the whaling industry and the native peoples of the Arctic.
Herbert L. Aldrich spent only eight months aboard whaling ships and 87 days in the Arctic Ocean, but his photographs and subsequent writings provide important documentation of the Arctic whale hunt and the Masinker and Nakooruk Eskimos. Photographs in the collection capture all aspects of the whale hunt and processing, the landscape of Alaska and Siberia, and the culture and customs of native peoples.
Aldrich resolved to accompany the Arctic whaling fleet after he was diagnosed with tuberculosis and told he had less than a year to live. At the time, he was a 27-year-old reporter for the New Bedford Evening Standard. Aldrich sought and received the support of leaders of New Bedford's whaling industry, who wanted the journalist to document what they knew to be a dying industry. Aldrich sailed from San Francisco aboard the bark Young Phoenix (sometimes called the Young Phenix) on March 3, 1887. During the course of his journey, Aldrich was a passenger aboard the bark Eliza, the bark Hunter, the steam bark Balaena, the steam bark Lucretia, the steam bark Beluga, and the steam bark Thrasher, finally returning to San Francisco on October 25, 1887 aboard the steam bark Orca. These vessels were among the 32 New Bedford and San Francisco whalers that cruised in the Arctic Ocean during the 1887 season. This year was remarkably successful: it was one of the few during which no vessels were lost and the 600,000 pounds of baleen it produced was the largest single-year total taken by Arctic voyages between 1872 and 1909.
Aldrich had with him two Scovill detective cameras. He developed and printed photos aboard ship using primarily film negatives. It is estimated that Aldrich took over 700 photos during the season. Upon his return, Aldrich wrote and lectured extensively on his experiences in the Arctic. In 1889, Arctic Alaska and Siberia, or, Eight Months with the Arctic Whalemen was published by Rand, McNally and Company. In 1937, an abridged version of this text was published. Excerpts of the texts were also included in a variety of popular and trade magazines.
Aldrich went on to become managing editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer and the Jacksonville Florida Citizen. He founded the Aldrich Publishing Company of New York in 1897 and published engineering books and magazines including Marine Engineering and The Boiler Maker. He was a member of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, the Explorers' Club, and the Whalemen's Club of New Bedford. Although Aldrich did not live in New Bedford after 1897, he frequently visited the city and was a strong supporter of efforts to save the Charles W. Morgan. Upon Aldrich's death in March 1948, many of the photographs and other artifacts of his Arctic travels were donated to the New Bedford Free Public Library.

Bodfish Collection
The New Bedford Whaling Museum's Bodfish Collection consists of 111 photographs taken by master whaler Hartson H. Bodfish (ca. 1862-1945) during his time aboard the Beluga as captain and later the Mary D. Hume as first mate. During the long stretches of voyaging in the Arctic, Bodfish took many photographs documenting life aboard these ships and on the icy tundra as well as demonstrating the whale craft and hunting that took place.
Hartson H. Bodfish was the quintessential, hardworking, Yankee whaler. Throughout his Arctic voyages, he not only hunted and trapped but also documented his and many others' lives through writing and by use of the camera. The result of this collection is an array of photographs displaying varied localities of the Arctic and North American landscapes, everyday Arctic living, the whaling industry, numerous Alaskan natives and other Americans.
In his journal, Bodfish often noted that the work aboard and off the ship was arduous, tiring, and wholly unsuccessful. While exceedingly strong-willed and steadfast, the years away from home took a toll on all Arctic crew members who longed for news from America. As cabin fever took hold, many whalemen, including those from the Mary D. Hume, either tried to or was successful with committing suicide.
Especially aboard the Hume, their journey seemed bleak and endless without a whale catch. It wasn't until the late summer of 1891 when luck broke on the bow of the Hume and whales were hunted easily by the dozens. When she reached port on September 30th, 1892, the Mary D. Hume had profited $400,000 (equivalent to four million dollars in 1892) and was deemed the most profitable expedition in all whaling history.
While Bodfish's time aboard the Mary D. Hume is likely to be the most notable, as captain of the Beluga he made many lucrative trips to the Arctic. In one such excursion in 1901, Bodfish bought two Musk Oxen from an Eskimo. Because the natives could slaughter these animals for profit, finding two young calves alive was a rarity. Although one was accidentally killed by dogs on the trip back, the other, called "Oliver Jones", was brought to San Francisco and sold to the Bronx Zoo. Consequently, it was the first Musk Ox ever brought to America.
In all, Hartson H. Bodfish was not only a whaler, but also a pioneer of the Arctic territory, paving the way for countless American ships to rig out for winter in the icy North and the mysterious "Forbidden Sea". His varied and expansive trips led Captain Bodfish to write a book entitled Chasing the Bowhead, 1936, in which he recounts his seafaring endeavors living and hunting in the Arctic, as well as his life before whaling.

Comer Collection
The Comer Collection of the New Bedford Whaling Museum consists of approximately 200 photographs taken by Captain George Comer (1858-1937) during whaling voyages to the Hudson Bay between 1900 and 1905. The majority of the photographs document Aivilingmiut and Qaernermiut Eskimos and Eskimo culture; other subjects include the whaling schooner Era and her crew, whale processing, and the flora and fauna of the Hudson Bay.
George Comer made 14 Arctic voyages between 1875 and 1919. While his primary task during these expeditions was to hunt whales and seals and trade with the natives of the Hudson Bay, Comer had a deep interest in documenting the culture and customs of the people he encountered. Comer's photographs, journals, and sound recordings, along with extensive collections of artifacts he made at the request of the American Museum of Natural History, provide important ethnographic documentation of the peoples of the Hudson Bay.
George Comer was born in Quebec in 1858 and moved to Connecticut as a child. In 1875, he made his first whaling voyage on the New London bark Nile. Twenty years later, Comer was made master of the New Bedford whaling schooner Era, on which he sailed until 1905. From 1907 until 1912, when he made his last whaling voyage, Comer was master of the Stamford, Connecticut whaling schooner A. T. Gifford. Comer was a financially successful whaler and trader, but his documentation of Eskimo culture has a much greater lasting value.
Comer first took photographs in the Arctic in 1893, but the vast majority of surviving photos was taken after 1900. Images in the Comer Collection date from 1900 to 1905, when Comer was master of the Era. In 1897, Comer became acquainted with Franz Boas, now considered to be the father of modern American anthropology. Boas taught Comer how to collect and document information on the Eskimos; this knowledge is reflected in Comer's photographs. Unlike most other whalers who photographed native peoples, Comer consciously tried to preserve the context of the customs, objects, and people he photographed. Although he took many photos in a "studio" on board the Era, he did not pose individuals using tools or behaving in ways foreign to their traditions.
In addition to taking photographs, Comer took copious notes on his experiences, the peoples with whom he interacted, and the natural history of the Hudson Bay. In 1984, Comer's journal from the 1903-1905 voyage was published as An Arctic Whaling Diary, edited by W. Gillies Ross. Comer was commissioned by the American Natural History Museum to collect artifacts from the Hudson Bay region. He made plaster cast "life masks" of the faces and hands of Eskimos and used a graphophone to record Eskimo songs and stories. Comer also conducted surveys and created charts of previously unmapped areas. After Comer's whaling career ended, he continued sailing, both as a member of the U.S. Navy and a member of Arctic exploring expeditions. He served as a representative in the Connecticut legislature before his death on April 27, 1937.

Jarvis Collection
The New Bedford Whaling Museum's Jarvis Collection consists of 127 photographs related to the life and career of David Henry Jarvis (1852-1911). Jarvis likely took the majority of the photos while serving in the U.S. Revenue Cutter Service in Alaska and the Bering Sea. The photos show the Revenue Cutter Bear, on which Jarvis served as a lieutenant and captain, whaleships the Bear encountered while in the Arctic, scenes of native peoples, landscapes, and documentation of the famous 1897-1898 rescue of eight whaleships.
The career of David Henry Jarvis is well-documented, due in large part to his activities during the winter of 1897-1898. None of this documentation refers to Jarvis' photography; however, the content of the photos leaves little doubt that anyone but Jarvis took the photos. The majority of photos in the collection were once assembled in an album.
Jarvis was born in Berlin, Maryland in August 1852. He was appointed to the Revenue Cutter Service, one of three federal departments that would later be combined into the U.S. Coast Guard, in 1881. Jarvis served the majority of his career in Alaska and the Bering Sea. In 1897, while First Lieutenant aboard the Revenue Cutter Bear, Jarvis was appointed to lead a three-man expedition to rescue the crews of eight whaleships trapped in the ice at Point Barrow, Alaska. The ships were running low on food and the Bear could go no farther north than Cape Vancouver. Jarvis, Second Lieutenant Ellsworth P. Bertholf, and Doctor J. S. Call of the U.S. Public Health Service drove a herd of reindeer 1500 miles over the course of three months, arriving in Point Barrow on March 29, 1898 and saving 265 men from starvation.
Jarvis, Ellsworth, and Call were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 1902 for their rescue efforts. Jarvis later became captain of the Bear and served in the Revenue Cutter Service until 1905. He died in Seattle, Washington on June 23, 1911. In 1971, a Coast Guard cutter was named the Jarvis in honor of David Henry Jarvis. The Coast Guard also bestows the Capt. David H. Jarvis Award for "inspirational leadership."

Kennedy Collection
The Kennedy Collection of the New Bedford Whaling Museum consists of approximately 150 photographs compiled, and primarily taken, by Charles D. Kennedy in 1886 while serving aboard the U.S. Revenue Cutter Bear in the Arctic. Photograph subjects include the Bear and her crew, Alaskan landscapes, Eskimos and Eskimo settlements, and vessels encountered by the Bear.
Little biographical information is available for Charles D. Kennedy. Kennedy joined the United States Revenue Cutter Service as a cadet in 1880. He was made a third lieutenant in July of 1882 and a second lieutenant in February of 1888. Kennedy resigned from the Revenue Cutter Service in May of 1888. The photographs in the Kennedy Collection were taken in 1886, when Kennedy was stationed aboard the Bear, a cutter based in San Francisco that cruised off Alaska in the Bering Sea and the Arctic Ocean. In addition to the Bear, Kennedy served aboard the bark Chase based in New Bedford, the steamer Dexter based in Newport, the steamer Rush based in Alaska, and the steamer Wolcott based in Port Townsend, Washington.
There are four images in the Kennedy Collection that were not taken by Lieutenant Kennedy: a photograph of Gideon Nye Bartlett in Arctic costume, a photograph of the whaling bark Thomas Pope, a photograph of the whaling steamer Belvidere, and a photograph by C.J.K of the bark Legal Tender. All of these photographs were taken in 1878, long before Kennedy's first trip to the Arctic. It is not known when Kennedy acquired these photographs.
