Do you ever wonder if there were some traumatic episodes in your childhood that are having an impact on the person you are today?
I suppose it is possible but if it weren't for those incidents, I wouldn't be the person I am today. That might not be such a bad thing; I could do with some improvement. They say it's never too late, but then they say you shouldn't eat too much ice cream. How can you have "too much" ice cream?
Maybe I do have a couple of post traumatic stresses working away under the surface and keeping me from becoming all that I can be. The problem with that kind of stress is that you don't always know that you have stress or a problem of any kind. You just think that you are normal and we all have the same feelings of doubt and fear. I can remember meeting the woman who lived beside us when I was growing up a number of years ago now and she was happy that I turned out alright in spite of everything. Everything? What everything? As far as I know, I had a very normal upbringing, not so different from anyone else my age. Maybe she had problems.
My older brother did pick on me quite a lot and sometimes the "picking" bordered on torture. Normal right?
There was a time when I was four or so that my parents were visiting friends that lived in the country. These friends had a horse that came with horse stuff like a barn, a corral, hay bales and saddles. My parents and their friends were inside drinking coffee and Steve and I went out to watch the horse. We were cautioned to keep out of the corral but we were welcome to watch, with the promise of a ride later on. Westerns were very big on TV back then and were my favourite shows. The Lone Ranger, Gunsmoke, Wagon Train, Roy Rogers, Maverick and Have Gun Will Travel were never missed. I knew all I needed to know about horses, thank you very much.
I don't know what happened, but the next thing I knew I was being chased around the corral by 1500 pounds of angry horse. It didn't take long for the horse to run me down and I was on the ground screaming, crying and the horse was chewing on my hat, coat and a part of my ear. I was told years later that the owner came bursting out of the house and somehow got it off of me. I only had superficial cuts and bruises, but my hat and coat were ruined. I've never been much of a horse person since then and that may explain my ambivalence to the Stampede. I don't like corrals or hay very much either and thankfully the western eventually died out in favour of detective shows, game shows, Fantasy Island and the Love Boat.
I also remember being attacked by a German Sheppard when I was very young. Probably it was just being playful, but to my eyes it was a wolf about to rip my throat out. I never went back to that friend's house again, even after the devil dog had died. Strange that I eventually became a mailman with dogs attacking on a more or less regular basis. I was prepared however with dog spray and I always wore good, solid leather shoes for personal defence. I always cheer when I hear that a dog has been driven off by the mailman, but more often than not the dog would win the battle.
NEVER TRUST A DOG!!! Man's best friend they may be, but as long as they have teeth and eat meat you should be vigilant.

RS & I have a bet on whether Romney will win the nomination. I say yes, he says no.
I'm still happy with the bet, who's gonna take him? You really see mainstream Republicans supporting Bachmann?
We're still on, db. Looks like Perry may do the job of knocking out the Mittster — Rockin' Rick will get an unholy pile of oil money from ExxonMobil, etc., and he's got friendly ties to the Koch bros. Plus, he can pretend to be a cowboy, just like Gee Dubya — the GOP base can't resist their mythical my-heroes-have-always-been-cowboys idols in Stetson hats, even if they're complete wingnut morons. Perry may even ride a horse, something the Bush Boy was too afraid to do.

TikTok and YouTube Stars Grace and Zeus Broke up, and Fans Don't Understand Why
By Abi Travis
At this point, we've become quite familiar with the YouTube breakup video. The thumbnail shows both members of the couple sitting next to each other and looking forlorn, the title is usually "We broke up," or some variation of that, and there's usually a part in the video where someone says something like, "We never expected to make this video, but here we are."
The latest YouTube breakup video comes to us from Grace and Zeus. The couple has had a huge online presence for the past year, with nearly 500,000 subscribers on YouTube and more than 4 million followers on TikTok. Together, they filmed adorable couple dances and pulled too many pranks to count. However, Grace and Zeus have now officially decided to call it quits. Obviously, their many fans are wondering why they decided to break up.
@graceandzeus
@get.casely Her reaction was everything!🥰❤ ##LiveBold ##Casely ##foryou ##foru ##fyp ##FreezeFramePhoto
♬ original sound - grace & zeus
Why did Grace and Zeus break up?
Fans had started to suspect that something may have happened between Grace and Zeus when they suddenly stopped uploading videos. Throughout their tenure as one of social media's it couples, Grace and Zeus had, for the most part, stuck to a regular upload schedule and regularly posted on other corners of the internet. When that appeared to slow down, it didn't take long for fans to begin speculating about whether Grace and Zeus were still together.
In a video entitled (what else?) "We Broke Up" (and another one entitled "We Broke Up Pt. 2") uploaded on Sept. 30, 2020, fans got their answer. A tearful Grace and solemn Zeus informed their audience that they had indeed made the difficult decision to go their separate ways. Grace has already moved out of the home the couple had been sharing and the videos were recorded in the bedroom of her new apartment.
As awful as breakups usually are, it doesn't seem as though Zeus and Grace have any ill will toward one another, and it doesn't seem as though there was one specific inciting incident that led to the split. "We've been dating a little over a year and a half and we've noticed change from both of us," Zeus explained in the video.
Grace hinted at the fact that the way their relationship had been portrayed online hadn't shown the whole story. "Most couples on YouTube present themselves as such, like, a picture-perfect couple, " she said. "And that's not the case."
"I know you guys are probably expecting like a definite reason on why [we broke up], but sometimes that's just now how it works and when a relationship ends, sometimes it's more to it than we can understand," Grace said. "Nothing specific happened that we did that made us want to leave each other. It just ... a lot of tension built up, I guess." Zeus agreed and said there had been some frustration on both parts.
Grace&Zeus broke up and I officially don't believe love exists anymore
— sydney ♡ (@sydmarie193) September 30, 2020
That being said, both Zeus and Grace explained that they definitely don't hate one another, nor are they planning to completely stop all contact between them. They plan to share joint custody of their dog Sophie and at least for now, Grace will take over the couple's YouTube and TikTok channels. Apparently, Grace's new apartment is pretty close to Zeus' house, so they may be seeing each other with some frequency and even hinted that they'd be willing to make additional videos together eventually.
Breakups are definitely hard, and breakups shared online with an audience of millions are probably even harder. That being said, we hope Grace and Zeus are both able to find some peace and happiness as they move forward.

Join our community of Sunny Simple Off-Grid Living Adventurers! Membership opens four times a year.
Every month, we visit one person / couple / family living off the grid in Spain. We get a tour of their property, listen to their story, see what they're up to right now, ask them all the questions we've ever wanted to ask them... and we share the video with you.
Later that month, we set up a live video session with them - you get to join us (live!) and ask them all the questions you wanted to ask after watching the video.
Once a month, we dive deep into one specific topic.
From chain saw maintenance to raising children off the grid and from building a tiny home to pruning and harvesting olives - we get experts to share their knowledge and wisdom, so you can start your off-grid life well-equipped.
You can watch the video any time that suits you - and access the extra resources (PDF downloads, e-books or other extras) for as long as you're a member.
Our team is there to answer all your questions. Ask a question in the group and we'll either answer it directly - or make a short video about it.
We also host live Q&A sessions in the group.
Or maybe your question can inspire us to dedicate next month's workshop to this topic?
When you join Sunny Simple Off Grid Living, you become part of an exclusive community of like-minded people. We get to support each other as we're facing expected or unexpected challenges, cheer each other on as we overcome yet another hurdle towards the big dream - and celebrate each others' wins, of course!
If your question is of a more private matter or you'd like someone to chat with 1:1, we can set you up with someone to help you out. Maybe a phone or video call, or a "real life" appointment? 1:1 support depends on the character of your question, and the availability of the people you need to talk to.
After we've recorded a masterclass, shared our resources, posted a video,... we will store it in the resource barn. As a member, you get 24/7 access to all of these resources; you can watch the videos, download the e-books and access the promotions or other links at any time.
If you're a member and you're living off the grid or have any kind of related expertise, we would of course love to feature you! Whether you'd like to share your knowledge in a workshop or masterclass, or share your story and your project when we visit you, we love to share what our members have already accomplished.
If you're willing to share what you know and / or have done so far, do get in touch!
Hey, it's only a dream right now, but we'd love to organise live events with and for our members. Real life workshops, meet & greets, expert speakers, physical visits to off-grid homesteads and more... If or when enough of our members would like to attend one of these, we're setting it up!
Sunny Simple Off-Grid Living is a community of and for people living off the grid. We focus mainly on living off grid in Spain, but are of course open to members from other countries as well.
We're setting this up as a membership - you pay a fee; it's renewable monthly. This means you can join for just one month, or for as long as you'd like.
In return, you get access to all the content we create - and to us, as we're always happy to answer questions!
How does it work & what do I get?
As soon as you become a member, you get full access to all our resource archive + the videos and resources of that month.
Your membership renews automatically for a year, but you can stop it at any time.
At this moment (set-up period) we work mainly with Facebook. As a member, you get invited to join the closed Facebook group, where you can access all of the resources. If requested, we can host the videos and resources elsewhere as well.
For a start, we will organise one (online) event every week: a video featuring an off-grid project in Spain, a workshop or webinar, a live Q&A session or a deep dive into a related topic.
Sunny Simple Off-Grid Living is for you if you either live off the grid, or have plans to move to a more remote location in Spain.
We are open to people of all origins, political or religious persuasions; if you're not living in Spain or can't make the move right now (maybe you're waiting for your children to grow up?), you're still welcome to join!
We do not proclaim there is only one "right" way to live off the grid.
Whether living off the grid, to you, means not being connected to mains water and electricity - or living off the beaten path - or taking a step back from society, we're happy to have you with us and share your stories and questions with other members.
We are opening the cart for a first run in April 2018; if you're reading this, you can become a founding member of Sunny Simple Off-Grid Living. This means you get to shape the face of our future off-grid living club with us: you tell us what you want and what you need, and we'll do our best to build it. For you, and for the members who'll join us afterwards.
At this moment, nothing is set in stone; our first goal is to *help* people to achieve what we have, and we're happy to put in the time and the effort, but we're even happier to hear what you'd actually expect from us.
You get to tell us the type of content you'd like or not watch, the topics you want to know more about, the courses and classes we need in order to help more people.
If you join now, you also get a nice discount - the amount you pay now, is also the amount you'll keep paying if you decide to stay a member after that first month.
If you join Sunny Simple Off Grid Living now (in March 2018), it will cost you € 7,-. You can decide to leave after that first month. If you stay a member after that, you will only pay those € 7,- for the remainder of your membership.
The membership cart will close on March 31st at midnight CET. After that, it will remain closed for a bit; that way, we'll be able to build and shape everything behind the scenes, concentrating on supporting our current members at 100%, and working on creating great content for them. And maybe for you as well?
If you join in later, the membership price will be slightly higher - currently predicted at € 11,- per month. About the price of a three course meal in many areas of Spain.
You can cancel your membership at any time. You will stay a member for the remainder of that month (you can't get a part of your 7€ back, sorry) but won't be charged for the next month.
So what's keeping you from joining up? It'll cost you less than a sandwich + a coffee in many European countries!
How can you join the Sunny Simple Off-Grid Living community?
Until March 28th: clicking the button will get you subscribed to our waiting list. We'll send you an e-mail with a few questions, just so we know what your expectations are. As soon as we have 10 people interested in joining, it's a go!
In that case, you'll get an e-mail on March 29th with the link to the sign-up form.
From March 29th to March 31st, we open the cart for our very first "founding members". As a founding member, you'll get the chance to shape this community with us - and you'll get access to everything for that same (extremely) monthly fee as long as you stay a member.
We close the cart on March 31st at midnight. If you would like to join the club in April or May, it won't be available. You can still get onto the waiting list though, so you'll get a notification when we reopen. We won't decide to reopen until we're sure everything is in place: we'll implement feedback from our members, record video workshops and classes and set up all the systems to present you with a life-changing experience.
Who's behind Sunny Simple Off-Grid Living?
Last but not least... meet the team!
At this moment, we're a team of two: we're Axel & Sandrine, and we live off the grid in Matarranya, Aragon, Spain (right next to the border with Catalunya).
We hope we'll be able to expand the team pretty soon though; if you feel you have something to bring to the table (and don't require much in return), do feel free to e-mail us!
At this moment, this is a work of love: we're passionate about helping people making the same transition we made, and we hope we'll be able to help more people this way. For now, all proceedings will go towards setting up systems & creating content.
If you subscribe to the wait list, you will just get a notification when we open up the cart (or when we have another announcement to make about SSOGL). We won't add you to any other e-mail lists, won't send you any related newsletters or won't give (or sell) your data to third parties. Your data will be saved by our e-mail service provider, MailerLite, so we can send you future e-mails; we make regular backups, which we save in an Excel file on our own computer & external hard disk. We care about your privacy!


Benjamin has torn through the Babysitters Club books this past summer, and has continued to reread some of them this school year. When I tell people he's reading them, they're kind of incredulous. He is a seven-year-old boy, after all. Not the target audience. :) But they're good books and my mom brought me my whole collection when she came to help us move. I thought my collection had been donated them to the library! So it was a pleasant surprise to see the books again.
I knew I had to keep them in easy reach for Benjamin for a couple of reasons: Because I loved them at his age, and because if I suggested that he read them I knew he never would. The only way to get him to read them would be to have them in easy reach. They're so colorful and appealing, how could anyone resist? And I think they're books worth reading! I learned a lot about babysitting and childcare from reading them. And Ann M. Martin won the Newbery Honor you know, for her book A Corner of the Universe. She's a good writer. Sidenote: I got to see her speak once. I wrote a little about it here.
My point here is that I have had such a great time watching Benjamin read the books.The things he has said have made me laugh and really taken me back to my babysitters club days. Whether we were learning about the pop culture of the past or discussing the real-life issues the series talks about, we've had a great time.
1. "Stacy has diabeets." Hey, if I had never heard anyone pronounce the word diabetes, I might think that's how you said it.
2. "Logan is an associate member of the Babysitters Club. He doesn't have to go to meetings." Ah, I had forgotten that Logan was an associate member! Haha. Of course I had not forgotten about Logan. No, indeed. One of my first literary crushes.
4. "I want a peanut butter sandwich. Kristy and Mary Ann had peanut butter sandwiches at lunch and Dawn said, 'That's so Connecticut'." Order up! I would be happy to assist you in solidifying your identity as a resident of Connecticut by making you a PB&J.
5. "What does it mean 'tie up your parents' line?" We had a great little dinner table conversation about how telephones used to work. You could see the light bulb come on over his head. "Oh! So that's why Claudia has a private line!"
6. One day I was doing my makeup in the bathroom. In pops Benjamin. "Bart wants to go steady with Kristy." "Does she want to go steady with him?" I ask, not wanting to give anything away. "We don't know!" he says. "She didn't answer him and then next book is not a Kristy book. So we probably won't know until the next Kristy book! Unless someone mentions it out loud..." Oh, the suspense.
7. "Dawn has two holes in each ear, but Claudia has one in one ear and two in the other..." Oh man. Now I know why I was so obsessed with ear piercings when I was in elementary school! I remember that I couldn't wait to get my ears pierced (my parents made me wait until I was eight) and that pretty soon I was dying for a second piercing (never happened). I had not realized the ear piercing discussions in The Babysitters Club were influencing me all along. If you can get a 7-year-old boy excited about how many holes 12-year-old girls have in their ears, you know that's persuasive writing.
8. "Claudia reads Nancy Drew mysteries but she hides them because her parents don't approve..." Ha! I had forgotten that. Nobody could forget that the Kishi's are a model of disapproving parents, but putting the kibosh on Nancy Drew? That's when you know they're supposed to be ridiculously disapproving.
10. "Who are the three stooges?" This of course led to some YouTube education.
11. "What if Watson Brewer came to our lemonade stand . . ." We were having a lemonade stand one Saturday, and received a generous donation. This let us to speculate about what Kristy's rich stepfather would do if he stopped by.
12. "I should have known!!!" This random exclamation near the end of one of the books caught me off guard. Benjamin went on to explain that now that he knew the twist, he could easily see the book's foreshadowing.
13. "It takes me about 7 minutes to read a chapter; and there are about 15 chapters in each book, so it takes me about two hours to read a Babysitters Club Book." Not only does Benjamin love reading, he loves math.
14. "What's The Monster Mash?" This one comes up in Kristy and the Secret of Susan, when autistic-savant Susan plays it on the piano. This led to a discussion about autism, and a monster mash dance party.
Which one of these made you smile? And what book or book series do you remember fondly from childhood? One person who comments will win a BSC postcard from me and Benjamin. Contest ends 3/31/16. Congratulations to commenter Cami! You have won!
13. "It takes me about 7 minutes to read a chapter; and there are about 15 chapters in each book, so it takes me about two hours to read a Babysitters Club Book."
I loved comment 13 too, because that is soo Benjamin! I also liked the one about Logan, it reminds me of Lewis in the H2O Just Add Water TV series - he is my favorite character. And were you only 8 when you got your ears pierced? I thought I held out til at least 10 or 12.
Oh I forgot to tell you one of my favorite series when I was young. Tarzan novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs. What adventure!
Ah, Classic Benjamin moment! :D I've never read Tarzan!
Did you ever read Baby Sitters Club Little Sister books? I was all over those!
I didn't, but Benjamin has bumped into a few of them and read them! We found one on the library's free shelf, and another one somewhere else... I saw at least ten of them at the Groton Goodwill last week!
"What does it mean to tie up your parent's line?" Ha ha! Sometimes I forget how much the world has changed even in my lifetime. I wasn't as in to The Babysitter's Club, but I think I must have read every book in The Bobbsey Twins series.
Good for him reading all of those!
I've been suggesting to Katy for awhile that she could read the Babysitters Club books, but she was never interested. A few weeks ago we came across the first Babysitters Club graphic novel. Both girls read it and then Katy said, "Maybe I should read the real book now."

Carbon impact of events
Virtual events have served us well during the pandemic but what about once it's fully over?
Before March 2020, the Corporate Events Team as LSBU had never delivered a virtual event. Fast forward to January 2022, they've delivered over 300. That's a huge increase in their normal offering!
Off the back of the Sustainability & Climate Action Event Series, a three part/11 day project which included colleagues from Schools & PSGs, a whole range of incredible guest speakers and hundreds of attendees, the team were inspired to look into the carbon impact of virtual events vs in person events.
Joining forces with Terra Neutra - a carbon positive focused organisation set up to help businesses reduced their carbon footprint - they've produced a collaborative report (PDF File 1,863 KB) to explore just this by taking 10 typical LSBU event scenarios & comparing them. With some pretty clear results…
"Virtual events have an extremely lower carbon footprint than physical events when you take into account all the factors such as energy use, catering, signage, give aways etc… not to mention our attendees' travelling. This report really highlights the impact & it's been eye opening in terms of how we operate moving forward," says Neil Hudson-Basing, Corporate Events Manager.
"And since moving to online platforms, we've noticed lots of other benefits too including improved sign ups & attendance, greater accessibility for those with demanding schedules, disabilities or caring responsibilities and on the whole, they're more straightforward to organise & deliver - they're cheaper too!"
"We're not saying that virtual events are a replacement for in person activities at all - we recognise face to face interaction is essential in many cases. But there's definitely value & a place for them beyond the pandemic. As a university that is committed to protecting the planet & its people and embedding sustainability into the core of LSBU, we hope colleagues, and event professionals generally, will take this on board when planning an event".
Check out the report (PDF File 1,863 KB) for yourself and you have any questions, or would like to discuss it further, you can contact Neil via basingn@lsbu.ac.uk.

A real buttery taste to these oat cookies make them perfect to go with that cup of tea or coffee.
*Golden syrup isn't readily available in North America. I can find it in some grocery stores and I know I can get it in the small stores that sell British products. If it is impossible to find, liquid honey would be a substitute. Golden syrup is very thick so you don't want anything too runny.
Put the sugar, butter and syrup into a large deep-sided pan and gently heat until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved, stirring to combine the ingredients well.
Remove from the heat and let the mixture cool a little.
Meanwhile lightly grease the trays/sheets.
In a separate bowl sift the flour and bicarbonate of soda/baking soda then stir through the oats.
Now add the dried mixture into the pan a couple of spoonfuls at a time stirring to combine.
Shape into 24 balls and place on the trays/sheets spacing well apart. Then flatten the balls a little. Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes until just starting to turn golden. Remove from the oven and leave on the trays/sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
These delicious little strawberry rings are a buttery biscuit filled with a layer of strawberry jam peeking through.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) (gas 4).
Beat the butter and sugar together using an electric hand mixer or food mixer. Once the mixture is creamy, gradually beat in the egg and then the vanilla essence/extract.
Sift the remaining ingredients into the bowl and blend into the mixture using a spoon until just combined. Now gently knead by hand until a soft dough has formed.
Take the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to 0.5cm (¼ inch) thick. Then using the large cutter, cut rounds from the dough and place them onto the baking sheets/trays. Now using the smaller cutter remove the centre of half the rounds. (Don't try to remove the centres before placing the rounds on the sheets/trays as they will become misshapen.) Keep re-rolling the leftover dough and cutting out the rounds, making sure there are an equal number of the whole rounds and cut-out rounds. There should be enough dough to make about 18 finished biscuits.
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until the biscuits are just starting to brown. Transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool.
Spread a thick layer of strawberry jam over the whole rounds and then place the cut rounds on top. Finish by dusting with icing sugarpowdered sugar. The sugar will melt on the jam but will remain on the biscuit. Store in an airtight container.
Scrumptious, light and crumbly little rock cakes that are made with mixed fruits and spices.
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Mix in the sugar, breaking up any lumps of sugar that cling together. Next mix in the spices.
Add the butter and rub in using the fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Now stir through the dried fruits.
Sprinkle the egg over the mixture and start to bind in, adding a little milk, if necessary, until a stiff dough has formed.
Make 12 mounds of the dough on the baking sheets but do not smooth them out, the surface needs to look irregular.
Bake in the oven for 18 minutes until they become golden brown.
Remove from the oven and leave for a couple of minutes to cool a little. Transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling and then store in an airtight container.
A very simple fish dish that takes less than 15 minutes to prepare and 20 minutes to cook. Salmon fillets are baked with freshly squeezed orange juice and dotted with butter. The result – a lovely buttery orange sauce to complement the salmon.
This dish is good served with Creamy Garlic Potatoes (recipe below) and fine green beans.
If accompanying the salmon with the Creamy Garlic Potatoes, prepare the potatoes first. Then, when they have gone in the oven, prepare the salmon. Put the salmon in the oven 10 minutes after the potatoes have gone in. Everything will then be ready at the same time.
Lay the salmon fillets side by side in the ovenproof dish. Dot with the butter and pour over the juice of 1 orange, then season.
Cover with foil and bake on the middle shelf of the oven for about 20 minutes, until salmon is firm to the touch.
Thinly slice four pieces from the second orange, then cut each slice with one cut from the centre to the edge. Twist either side of the cut in opposite directions and place each one along the top of each fillet. Garnish with dill and serve with the orange butter sauce poured over the fish.
Place the potatoes in a pan of water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain and leave in the pan for a couple of minutes to dry. Slice thickly.
Spread evenly over the base of the ovenproof dish and season. Add the whole garlic cloves and pour over the cream.
Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil, return to the oven for a further 10 minutes until the tops of the potato are starting to brown.


Sometimes I'm able to convince authors to explore the creativity and opportunities of Second Life. Numerous efforts have led me to introduce the virtual world to authors Robert Dugoni, Karen Kay, Donna Fletcher Crow and two women that I met at my AuthorFest in IL, Sarah Glenn and Gwen Mayo.
This article will be devoted to Sarah, first. So we sit at my Italian table on my SL home's patio on a Wednesday night. The three of us enjoy a quiet moment of no IMs. The first discussion is about Sarah's real life writing experiences.
Sarah began writing in her youth. She focused on stories about horses and drew them. Years later, she graduated to X-men and the horror genre, first writing fan fiction.
"I wanted to be a writer my entire life," she confesses in voice. "In my novel, 'All This and Family, Too,' extraordinary people are in very ordinary circumstances. Cynthia Leach is an astronomer who likes going out and using a telescope in the woods. She's extremely upright and heroic. Penelope was her sire."
At this point you should get the idea that we're discussing a paranormal and Sarah is writing about vampires. She tells me that Penelope has been destroyed and does not appear as an active character.
Cynthia does have a mentor and friend. Dylan Duvoth was born into a wealthy family in Great Britain. He wanted to be a movie star, so he set out for California.
Pill Hill Press in Nebraska published the book in May. Sarah's currently working on a sequel to the book, possibly a family saga.

A recent review of the health and social care system concluded that applying a higher rate of National Insurance (NI) to the over 40s and anyone earning over £42,000 would entitle them to free care later on in life. For this initiative to work the NHS would need to merge with the care system, which. to be honest, seems sensible. Currently, thousands of elderly people who are struck down by dementia are forced to pay for their care themselves despite contributing, via tax, to the NHS their whole lives.
Meanwhile, people with other long-term conditions are being looked after for free by the NHS. Through combining the two systems, free care will be provided to all elderly people. However, I do use the phrase 'all elderly people' lightly, as it has been suggested that they would have to be considered 'frail enough' to qualify, which seems slightly vague. The next step then is to provide funding to allow the above to take place. This is where it gets really controversial, as it is predicted that to provide free healthcare to all elderly people it would cost an extra £5 billion a year, double the current elderly care budget in England. To raise these funds, amongst the recommendations, such as 'hotel' fees to people in hospital and limiting the winter fuel allowance for elderly people. It was suggested to increase the NI paid by the middle aged and middle classes by 1%, in return they would receive free care (if considered frail enough) later on in life.
Currently, anyone in England and Wales who has assets worth more than £23,000 gets no support from the state in regards to care, no matter how frail they are. Therefore, these proposals do seem like a step in the right direction. However, I think they will be struggling for support for any of the recommendations put forward in order to raise the funds. The recommendations concerning the elderly are extremely controversial and I believe it will be difficult to persuade the middle aged and middle classes to pay more tax today in the event that they may need care in the future. It will be interesting to see what comes of these proposals as well as to see other people's views.

Knitographical: My knitting as art!
You know, I have this weird little phobia about putting myself out there as a known knitter. I knit every day but rarely in public (except on public transport. That definitely doesn't count as in public, right? One needs knitting just to get through long haul train journeys). I don't take my knitting to work. (That might be to limit the temptation to knit when I should be doing boring work related things though). I'm happy to blog about knitting however - because after all the internet is full of friendly fiber people who don't think I am any weirder than they are.
Sometimes you just have to be brave and put yourself out there and hope everyone else gets what you were trying to say. Every couple of years, the art gallery at the University I work for has a staff art exhibition. Last time I thought I should enter something as there was a lot of craft type works entered (mainly quilts and embroidery). But I wasn't brave enough to put myself out there for potential criticism.
Then the invitation came around in the email in early April and I plucked up my courage and thought, 'Why Not What have you got to lose?' (Of course a little inner voice muttered things about public humiliation but I ruthlessly suppressed it).
It's a perfectly legitimate art show. See, you can read all about it here: The Autumn Salon. So I entered two pieces of work, the Knitographical cowl and Flat Fox.
And then I had to do an even braver thing - attend a gallery opening. First the, What Do I Wear? dilemma. I want to look arty but still me. The small talk over wine and cheese. Taking my family out in public to mix with the arty types and hoping they wouldn't embarrass me in public. (They tried very hard to).
The text of this poster is basically reproduced in this post: Story telling with sticks and string. This cowl is all about my story so it needed its story to be told. this is the most fun academic poster I have ever made. I had someone come up to me and tell me that the cowl was like my own coat of arms. I thought that was a really cool way to put it.
For more details of Flat Fox see this post.
Mel and I taking a selfie at the gallery opening.
Congratulations, perfect pieces to include in the show.
Thanks. I'm glad you took the time to comment.


The younger the baby, the better! Scheduling your newborn session within the first 2 weeks is highly recommended. It's not too early to schedule a newborn session while you're still expecting. Please contact me at that time or as soon as your baby is born & I'll be sure to make myself available.
Maureen's sessions generally last about 1-2 hours. With her informal and natural style, she prefers working in client's homes for newborn shoots. Her goal is to capture a series of images that truly reflect the unique personality of your family. Timing for newborns is typically ABC for XYZ reason.
The focus of the shoot will be your child, so busy patterns and logos should be avoided. For your newborn, you might have ABC available as options. The rest of the family should wear clothing that isn't stiff or complicated. Solid colors work really well and also textured fabrics like jeans, thick knits and corduroy. Bare feet are always preferred and nothing is cuter than bare baby bellies!
A la cart prints and portrait collections are available.

The dominant power in Quebec: the CAQ - Macleans.ca
The dominant power in Quebec: the CAQ
Philippe J. Fournier: One year in, the party maintains a commanding lead, and this week could record an historic by-election win
by Philippe J. Fournier
Quebec Premier and CAQ leader Francois Legault speaks during the party's general council meeting in Montreal on May 26, 2019 (Graham Hughes/CP)
While its political honeymoon may be starting to wane in Quebec 14 months after its election victory, François Legault's CAQ remains a dominant force in the province's political landscape according to the latest data. In a Léger poll published earlier this week in Le Journal de Montréal, the CAQ's level of support was measured at 38 per cent throughout Quebec, a number roughly similar to its 2018 Quebec election result.
However, among francophone voters (who constitute the majority of voters in more than 100 of the province's 125 seats), the CAQ leads the field with 46 per cent of support—more than 20 points ahead of the Parti Québécois, and a crushing 30 points ahead of the Quebec Liberal Party. Without a shred of a doubt, Legault would win another easy majority at the National Assembly with such levels of support.
Here are the Quebec-wide results from the Léger poll:
The numbers above are compared to the previous Quebec Léger poll published way back in May 2019. The CAQ drop of support from the mid-40s to the high-30s has been widely analyzed as marking the end of the honeymoon for the CAQ, even though the government's approval rating remains at a historically high level. Indeed, according to the poll, 60 per cent of Quebec voters remain generally satisfied with the government, a number we hadn't seen in Quebec from a party after its first year in power since the 1980s.
When we break down this poll by regions and use the latest election's results as a baseline, the 338Canada electoral model calculates this seat projection:
In 100,000 general election simulations performed by the 338Canada model, the CAQ wins an average of 78 seats, 15 more than needed for a majority at the 125-seat Quebec National Assembly and almost 50 seats more than its closest rival, the QLP. The Parti Québécois and left-wing Quebec Solidaire win on average fewer than 20 seats combined.
Moreover, in a recent poll of the Quebec City Jean-Talon electoral district—where a by-election will be held this Monday, Dec. 2—the CAQ candidate held a 10-point lead over its Liberal rival. While this may seem unremarkable at first glance, consider the following: Jean-Talon has been the most faithful Liberal district in Quebec for more than a half-century. The Quebec Liberal Party has won 18 consecutive elections (!!) in Jean-Talon, spanning from 1966 to 2018. Should the poll be accurate and the CAQ win Jean-Talon on Monday night, the CAQ would increase its caucus to 76 MNAs and the QLP would no longer have any elected representation east of Montreal—and be shut out of the Quebec City region for the first time since Confederation.
For all the quarrel between provincial premiers in the past months on hot topics such as equalization, pipelines and Bill 21 (not to mention Brian Pallister's much publicized ads in Le Devoir trying to woo Quebec minorities to Manitoba), François Legault does not appear to have lost any significant support in Quebec since his premiership began. While both the QLP and the PQ will elect new leaders in 2020, they will most likely remain in rebuilding mode for some time, hence it could take years before those two parties become competitive again. For the QLP, the challenge will be to reach outside its Montreal core and reconnect to the francophone majority; for the Parti Québécois, its main task will certainly be to convince a new generation of Quebecers that independence from Canada is still the best option for the future of the Quebec nation.
On both fronts, recent data indicates that those will be steep hills to climb.
Yes, sometimes life can come at you fast in politics (especially in volatile Quebec), but with its main opposition in shambles, François Legault's CAQ could potentially dominate Quebec politics for years to come.

Interview: Alex Webster from Cannibal Corpse – Spotlight Report "The Best Entertainment Website in Oz"
Thanks to MaricMedia, we had the chance to talk with Alex Webster from Cannibal Corpse ahead of the band's Australian tour in September alongside Hour of Penance to promote their latest album "A Skeletal Domain".
SR. You guys are about to release a new album: A Skeletal Domain. What can you tell us about this release?
AW. It's our 13th full length studio album, we recorded it earlier this year at Audiohammer Studios in Sanford, Florida with producer Mark Lewis. As with all of our albums, it is being released on Metal Blade Records.
SR. How was to work with Producer Mark Lewis? What kind of suggestions you guys got from him?
AW. We had a great time working with Mark. His style of production is a bit different from Erik Rutan's (our previous producer) so it was interesting to work in a somewhat different way, in a different environment. The suggestions he had were mainly to do with the technical aspect of recording, things related to the actual tracking of the instruments. For example, we used direct signals for my bass tracks, rather than miking a cabinet. We're very happy with the results.
SR. Sadistic Embodiment is already on YouTube. How the fans reacted to the track so far?
AW. So far the reaction has been very positive. It's a fast, aggressive track, the kind of stuff we are known for, no big surprises. I think our fans appreciate our consistency. That said, I think we have some material on this album that sounds a bit different from what we've done before. It's still extremely heavy death metal, but hopefully it will sound fresh and exciting to the listener.
SR. What would you say is your favourite track of the new album?
AW. Definitely the title track. It's really heavy, with an almost epic feel. Sounds quite dark as well.
SR. You guys are heading back Down Under in September. How this tour will be compared with previous shows?
AW. The main difference will be that we'll be playing songs from the new album. It will be the same sort of show we always do: aggressive, no-frills death metal. The only difference will be the set-list.
SR. How many songs are you planning to have in your set-list? Would you change the set depending on the audience or city?
AW. It's usually the same every night of a tour. Our headlining set is usually about 16-20 songs, and lasts from 75 to 90 minutes.
SR. Despite some changes, Cannibal Corpse has reached a stable lineup compared to other bands over the years. How important this is for your work?
AW. I think once you have a solid lineup it's a really good idea to keep it together. Since Rob returned in 2005 we've had some of our greatest successes, so we're hopeful this will be the permanent lineup of Cannibal Corpse until the very end, whenever that may be.
SR. I really need to ask you this, as everyone blamed me for skipping this question last time: Can you tell us more about that epic and hilarious scene featuring cannibal Corpse playing at the movie Ace Ventura? How did you guys get to do that?
AW.I guess Jim Carrey was part of the decision to get us in the movie. Apparently he was listening to us around that time and they needed a band for the movie so he suggested us.
SR. How was Jim Carrey on set? Would you invite him to jam on stage with you if you get the chance?
AW. He was very nice to us during the filming. We haven't thought about anything like that, since we haven't talked to him in 21 years it seems unlikely there will be any further interaction between us. It was a great experience but it was a long time ago.
SR. Last time we spoke, you shared with us about that crazy request from a fan who asked you to sign his infected testicle. A story that not even the likes of Wednesday 13, Max Cavalera or Ace Frehley could top when we told them your experience. I wonder if that story still remains as the top one of the craziest fan stories or something crazier happened during the last 2 years?
AW. I think that's still the top! Most of our fans just want to take a picture with us, get an autograph, or just talk. Strange requests like that are pretty rare.
SR. Can you describe your life while on tour with the band?
AW.I can't ever think of anything when people ask me questions like this. I think our tour life is pretty mundane. The exciting part is the live performance- the rest is pretty boring.
SR. Any message for the Aussie fans ahead of your visit to our shores in September?
AW.We'd just like to say that we're very excited to return! We always have a great time in Australia, and we expect this time to be more of the same! Also, we're stoked to be doing the tour with our friends Hour of Penance. It's going to be a killer night of death metal for sure!

Recent terrorist attacks in Paris have raised hard legal questions
Australia is following France's lead in rushing to assume the need for new laws. But cooler heads should prevail until we know more, writes Ben Saul.
The terrorist attack on Paris raises some hard legal questions. Is it an international crime? Is it an armed attack giving France a right of military self-defence in Syria? Is it lawful for France to declare a state of emergency that suspends basic rights? Are new laws needed to counter terrorism?
It is obvious that the attacks are crimes - murder and terrorism under French law, and perhaps a crime against humanity under international law, which involves a widespread or systematic attack on a civilian population.
It is less clear whether the attacks are terrorist crimes under international law. Certainly terrorist bombings are international crimes, such as the suicide bombings at the stadium. Killing ordinary people with guns has not, however, been globally criminalised as terrorism.
This is because for almost a century, governments have been unable to agree on a definition of terrorism. Only some acts have been prohibited - such as violence against aircraft or ships, attacks on political leaders and diplomats, or the use of bombs - but not every kind of violence that terrorists use.
The Paris attacks are another wake-up call for governments to finalise the counter-terrorism treaty that has been under negotiation at the United Nations since 2000. This would enable closer transnational cooperation in investigations and prosecutions, including where offenders are outside France.
France has called the attacks an act of war and is defending itself by bombing Islamic State in Syria. Here international law is uncertain. Until 2001, self-defence was only available against an armed military attack by another country. Other violence was treated as crime to be dealt with by law enforcement and extradition, or through diplomacy and the UN Security Council.
Since 9/11, it is increasingly accepted that self-defence is available against an autonomous terrorist group, even where it is not controlled by a foreign state. But the pre-condition remains that there must first be an "armed attack" by the group.
An armed attack ordinarily must be of a military character and intensity. It need not involve a full-blown ground invasion, but it must be more than a border incursion or high intensity crime. Armed attacks can, of course, be committed by striking civilians, as 9/11 showed.
Most terrorism does not threaten the life of our nations. Suspending basic rights too readily, or for too long, threatens to undermine the foundations of democracy.
The Paris attacks were not on the scale of 9/11. When Al Qaeda attacked London in 2005, killing 52 people and injuring more than 700, Britain did not regard it as an armed attack or launch military strikes in self-defence. Nor did Spain regard the 2004 Madrid bombings as an armed attack, despite it killing 191 people and injuring 1800. Australia did not call the Bali bombings in 2002 an armed attack, even though they killed 202 and injured more than 200.
While some terrorist campaigns can be an armed attack, including through cumulative acts over time, most terrorist violence is not and instead is terrible crime. If the threshold of an armed attack is lowered too far, to include every serious terrorist attack, international military violence would dramatically escalate, causing more not less insecurity. The unholy alliance emerging between France and Russia, and thereby implicitly with Russia's allies in president Bashar al-Assad, Iran and Hezbollah, will likely make Syrian civilians far less safe.
Military responses to terrorism have also been spectacularly unsuccessful. The global war on terror has caused countless deaths and cost billions of dollars - yet there is more terror than ever before. Military responses have correlated with more, not less, terrorism - and most of it has occurred in developing countries not the West.
At home, France has declared a state of emergency to suspend some basic rights, to combat the terrorist threat. Under international law, certain basic rights may be lawfully suspended where there is a public emergency threatening the life of the nation. After 9/11, a majority of judges in the House of Lords accepted that the threat to UK met that threshold, given the dangers posed by Al Qaeda. A few judges dissented, unconvinced that the whole "life of the nation" could be threatened by Al Qaeda - unlike, say, the threat of a Nazi invasion.
This is a tough question. Contrary to what some politicians say, human rights law has always been acutely aware of security needs. After all, human rights treaties were written after the Second World War, by the countries that lived through 50 million deaths, genocide, and the threat of Nazi and Japanese world domination. They understood security, perhaps more than we do today. And still they deliberately choose to place the highest value on human rights, only allowing them to be suspended to meet the most exceptional threats.
More human rights, not fewer, were their answer to the greatest atrocities the world has ever witnessed.
Australia is following France's lead in rushing to assume the need for new laws. Cooler heads should prevail until we know more. It has been argued the attacks occurred more due to intelligence failures rather than a lack of necessary laws and powers.
Australia is already drowning in terror laws - many unused. The threat here is real, but hardly like Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, or a nuclearised Soviet Union. It is hard to see what new laws could be justified without giving away too much of our ever diminishing freedoms.
Perfect security is a fantasy. The darkness of terrorism will always find a way through. We need to hold our nerve and answer terror with liberty - and not the twilight of freedom.

A Lynk & Co 03 TCR modellt a svéd Cyan Racing fejlesztette, amely a Volvo fejlesztéseit is végezi – 2017-ben például megnyerték a WTCC-t –, amely akárcsak a Lynk & Co, a kínai Geely cégcsoport alá tartozik. A versenyautót az utcai modellre építették, a Lynk & Co 03-ra, ami a Csengtui Autószalonon mutatkozott be.

Története
A fejlesztési munkálatokat Csangcsiakouban végezték. 2018 októberében megerősítették, hogy az autóval a 2019-es esztendőben a WTCR-ben kívánnak indulni, ezzel pedig az első kínai márka lett, amely a Nemzetközi Automobil Szövetség által szervezett világszériában szerepelt.

Első alkalommal 2018 novemberében tesztelte az autót Thed Björk Svédországban és Portugáliában. 2019-re egyedül a WTCR-re fókuszáltak és csak oda szállítottak autókat. 2019. szeptemberében azonban bejelentették, hogy az ügyfelek számára is lehetővé válik a modellekből való rendelés. 2020-ra a kínai TCR-bajnokságba a Shell Teamwork csapata meg is vette a márka autóit, 2021-re pedig az STCC-be is megvették az első modellt, emellett debütáltak a frissen megalakuló Dél-amerikai TCR-bajnokságban is. 2021 nyarán pedig az autó versenyzésben elért sikereire való tisztelet jeléül kiadtak egy különleges utcai változatot is, ami a Lynk & Co 03+ Cyan Edition megnevezést kapta.

2022. augusztus 4-én, néhány nappal a 2022-es WTCR szezon 7. versenyhétvégéjének kezdete előtt a csapat bejelentette, hogy kivonul a szériából, mert álláspontjuk szerint az egész szezont érintő gumiabroncs problémákat a széria promótere nem tudta orvosolni. Erre még ugyanazon a napon a széria is reagált sajtóközlemény formájában. A csapat egyébként már az azt megelőző, 6. versenyhétvégén is visszalépett a részvételtől, miután az olaszországi Vallelungában rendezett versenyek felvezető köreinek végén egyaránt a bokszutcába hajtott az öt kék versenyautó.

March 17th Spring Training Notes: Hicks, Betances, Florial, Ellsbury, Wilson
March 17, 2019 by Mike
?Your browser does not support iframes. Two games, two wins for the Yankees today. James Paxton no-hit the Phillies for 4.1 innings before reaching his pitch count, though he did give up a run because he walked a batter and Chad Green let the inherited runner score. Green gave up three hits in his two-thirds of an inning. Greg Bird, Gleyber Torres, and Troy Tulowitzki all hit home runs, plus Tyler Wade and Matt Lipka had two hits apiece. Here are the box score and video highlights for this game.
Meanwhile, against the Orioles, Jonathan Loaisiga allowed a hit and a walk in three scoreless innings. Didn't strike anyone out though. At this point, I don't think today's outing is enough to land him a spot in the Opening Day rotation. Luke Voit, Miguel Andujar, and Zack Zehner all went deep. The Kyles (Holder and Higashioka) each had a single and a double. Here are the box score and video highlights for this game, and here are the day's notes from Tampa:
Aaron Boone confirmed Aaron Hicks (back) will begin the season on the injured list. He received a second cortisone shot yesterday, which seems not great! "He could avoid a full (injured list) stay at the big league level because obviously we can backdate him … Hopefully this will knock it out once and for all, but it will slow him down by a couple of days," Boone said. [Coley Harvey]
Dellin Betances threw a 1-2-3 inning today but his velocity was still down in the 90-92 mph range. Gary Sanchez even went out to the mound to make sure he was feeling okay. Betances, who has always been a slow starter velocity-wise, said he feels good and is still building arm strength after getting a late start to camp following the birth of his first child. [James Wagner, Sweeny Murti]
Estevan Florial (wrist) will see a specialist Tuesday and the Yankees will know more about his timetable then. "My understanding is he could potentially be in a cast, but the hand specialist may have him in something else. That'll kind of unfold over the next 48 hours exactly how we attack it," said Boone. Florial suffered a non-displaced fracture yesterday. [Randy Miller]
Jacoby Ellsbury (hip surgery) arrived in camp today. He had his physical today and is not close to returning to the lineup. Ellsbury is hitting off a tee and playing catch at short distances. That's about it. His rehab work will gradually increase in the coming weeks. Needless to say, he's not a candidate to fill in for Hicks. [Bryan Hoch, Pete Caldera]
Conor Foley has the day's minor league camp lineups. Obligatory reminder: Those are only spring workout groups, not full season assignments. Just turned 20-year-old Saul Torres is not jumping to Triple-A after hitting .125/.172/.193 in rookie ball last season.
And finally, Russell Wilson is gone. His two days in camp are over. Wilson shagged fly balls and took batting practice, and presumably mingled with the young players, which was the entire reason the Yankees acquired him in the first place. [Bryan Hoch]
The Yankees open the final full week of the Grapefruit League season with a road night game against the Braves tomorrow. The game won't be televised. Last time the Yankees will play an untelevised game in 2019. Hooray for that. Masahiro Tanaka is Monday night's scheduled starter.

March 14th Spring Training Notes: Betances, Hicks, Frazier, German, Estrada, Cabello, Wilson
(Presswire)
The Yankees tied the Blue Jays this afternoon. Another tie? That's two straight and three in the last five days. Kyle Higashioka had two hits, including a double, while Gleyber Torres, Troy Tulowitzki, Clint Frazier, and Estevan Florial all had one single apiece. Miguel Andujar drove in his team's only run with a run-scoring ground out to Brandon Drury, the guy he Wally Pipped last year.
Luis Cessa started and allowed two hits in four scoreless innings against what might've been Toronto's Opening Day lineup. He's been great this spring (13 IP, 7 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 13 K). Cessa told James Wagner that his friend and former MLB pitcher Rodrigo Lopez told him to enjoy the game more, which has helped. Huh. I look forward to Cessa winning the Cy Young this year. Here's the box score and here are the day's notes from Tampa:
Dellin Betances, who said he felt like "crap" following his last Grapefruit League appearance, threw 28 pitches in two simulated innings today. "Still trying to play catch up," he said. Betances reported to camp a few days late after his wife gave birth to their first child. [Pete Caldera]
Aaron Hicks (back) responded well to the cortisone shot, but there's no firm date for his return to game action. "I think we're gonna take it slow as far as building him back up to make sure his core is rock solid before we put him back into baseball activities. I think (the soreness) is pretty much out of there. We'll see how the next couple of days unfold," said Aaron Boone. [Dan Martin]
Clint Frazier hit the outfield wall chasing a home run the other night and came away with no problems. "That was the first time I collided with a wall since (the concussion), but I didn't even hit it that hard. It was still a good step for me because I've been saying I'm not gonna tone down my aggressiveness and that was the first time to show it," he said. [Dan Martin]
Baseball America (subs. req'd) polled scouts on players who impressed them this spring. Domingo German earned a mention. "Seeing that (changeup) to go along with the arm strength and the breaking ball, that kind of opened my eyes … I think now he has a chance to sustain being a bonafide starter," said one of the scouts.
Thairo Estrada opened some eyes before being sent to minor league camp, apparently. "He was talked about a lot. The ability to play the middle of the diamond, the hands, the ability to impact the ball — he did a lot of good things this spring … He's a guy we think can absolutely play in the big leagues," said Boone. [Bryan Hoch]
Conor Foley has the day's minor league camp lineups. Those are just Spring Training workout groups, not regular season assignments. It's notable Antonio Cabello played today. He had surgery to repair a dislocated shoulder at the end of last season. Glad he's doing well.
And finally, Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson will be in camp tomorrow and Saturday. He was in camp for six days last year. Only two days this year? Slacker. [Randy Miller]
The Yankees have a very important Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox tomorrow afternoon. Domingo German will start and that game will be televised live. I'm sure of it this time.

Feb. 28th Spring Training Notes: Severino, Chapman, Sanchez, Paxton, Wilson
February 28, 2019 by Mike
?Your browser does not support iframes. The Yankees beat the Pirates this afternoon and are 3-2 this spring. Troy Tulowitzki clubbed a three-run home run, his second dinger of the spring. "I'm probably more excited about how well he's moving in the field and how he's attacking the ball and just playing free and easy. He looks really athletic out there," said Aaron Boone to Brendan Kuty after the game. Tyler Wade also went deep, and Greg Bird and Aaron Judge both had doubles. Bird is 5-for-8 (.625) with two doubles and a homer so far. He needs a good spring and is having one so far.
J.A. Happ made his spring debut and allowed three runs and two homers in 1.1 innings. I wouldn't sweat that at all. A veteran like him is just going through the motions on February 28th. Adam Ottavino and Zack Britton both made their spring debuts as well. Ottavino allowed two runs on two hits and a walk. Britton tossed a scoreless frame. The important thing: Everyone's healthy. Here's the box score and here are today's notes from Tampa:
As for yesterday's report that Happ was starting on Friday and Paxton on Saturday, that was obviously wrong. Seems like someone wrote the wrong days in their notebook or something like that rather than the Yankees changing their pitching plans, then changing them back again. Anyway, Paxton starts tomorrow and Masahiro Tanaka starts Saturday.
Luis Severino and Aroldis Chapman threw simulated games today as scheduled. Giancarlo Stanton almost hit Severino with a hard-hit comebacker, which would've been bad. Here's video. "It's not fun," Severino said of facing Stanton and Gary Sanchez. "I'm healthy and feel really good," said Chapman when asked about his knee. [Lindsey Alder, Mark Didtler]
Sanchez (shoulder surgery) will indeed make his Grapefruit League debut tomorrow night as scheduled. He's going to catch a few innings. The Yankees held Sanchez out of the first week of games as a precaution. Also, Tulowitzki will play four innings Saturday as the Yankees ease him into things. [Coley Harvey, Brendan Kuty]
Paxton has been picking Andy Pettitte's brain this spring. "(We talked) about our back sides, our arm swings. We both have a tendency to get long. Towards the end of his career, he tried to shorten things up, took stress off the shoulder. He was chatting about that a little bit," said Paxton. [George King, Ken Davidoff]
And finally, the Yankees don't know whether Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson will join them for their Spring Training again this year. It was reported he would a few weeks ago, though I guess that was not set in stone. [Erik Boland]
The Yankees will play their first night game of the spring tomorrow when they host Orioles at George M. Steinbrenner Field. That game will not be televised. The next Yankees broadcast is Sunday.

Seahawks QB Russell Wilson will join the Yankees in Spring Training again
January 16, 2019 by Mike
One year later, the Yankees still employ the best quarterback in New York. Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson will again join the Yankees in Spring Training this year, his agent told Jon Morosi. The Yankees haven't announced a schedule or confirmed anything yet. That'll happen soon enough.
Last spring the Yankees acquired Wilson's baseball rights from the Rangers so they could bring him to camp and have him spend time with their young players. Even though he plays a different sport, Wilson is an elite athlete with knowledge to share, and he's long been regarded as a high-character guy. He has a lot to offer.
Wilson played some baseball in college at North Carolina State. The Rockies drafted him in the fourth round in 2010 and he played two years in their farm system, hitting .229/.366/.342 (105 wRC+) with five homers in 93 Single-A games from 2010-11. He gave up baseball after the Seahawks drafted him in the third round in 2012.
The Rockies retained Wilson's baseball rights after he started his football career. The Rangers selected him in the minor league phase of the 2013 Rule 5 Draft and brought him to camp one year as a motivational speaker. The Yankees got him for future considerations last spring and here we are.
Wilson, a second baseman back in the day, spent five days with the Yankees last spring, during which he worked out with the team and hung out in the dugout during games. After clearing it with the Seahawks, the Yankees gave Wilson an at-bat in a Grapefruit League game. Remember this?
? I imagine Wilson and the Yankees have the same thing in mind this year. Come to camp, hang out with the guys, work out a bit, and maybe get an at-bat. Nothing more, nothing less. It's a fun way to break up the monotony of spring, and, if the young players learn something from Wilson, even better.
(If you're wondering about the roster mechanics, Wilson spent last year on the minor league restricted list. He didn't take up a roster spot or anything like that.)

Yankees trade for Seahawks QB Russell Wilson (for real)
February 7, 2018 by Mike Leave a Comment
The Yankees now have the best quarterback in New York.
According to Jerry Crasnick, the Yankees have acquired Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson from the Texas Rangers for future considerations. This isn't a joke. The Rangers controlled Wilson's baseball rights and they traded him to the Yankees.
Here is the statement the Yankees released after the trade:
"We've admired Russell's career from afar for quite some time," Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman said. "This is a unique opportunity for us to learn from an extraordinary athlete who has reached the pinnacle of his profession.
"After talking to a number of our players, there is a genuine excitement in having Russell join us for a short time in camp. We are all looking forward to gaining insight into how he leads teammates toward a common goal, prepares on a daily basis for the rigors of his sport, and navigates the successes and failures of a season."
Wilson, 29, has no plans to retire from football to pursue baseball, but, as the statement says, Wilson will show up to Spring Training at some point. The Yankees say Wilson will participate in pregame workouts and watch games from the dugout. I imagine he'll also be a guest speaker and meet with young players, things like that.
Wilson released a statement earlier today:
"I want to personally thank the Texas Rangers for giving me the chance to experience professional baseball again. Growing up taking grounders, hitting BP, and throwing deep post routes early in the mornings with my dad and brother is where my love of sports came from, and those memories stick with me every morning I wake up. I remember how excited I was when Texas selected me in the Rule 5 Draft in December 2013. During my two springs in Arizona with the Rangers, I was reminded just how much I love the game of baseball.
"While football is my passion and my livelihood, baseball remains a huge part of where I came from and who I am today. I've learned so much on the baseball field that translates to my game physically and mentally playing quarterback in the NFL. I thank the Rangers and their great fans for making me feel at home and a part of the family! While I embrace the chance to be a New York Yankee, I will forever be grateful to have been a part of a world class organization like the Texas Rangers."
Back in the day the Rockies selected Wilson in the fourth round of the 2010 draft and he played two years in their farm system, hitting .229/.354/.356 with five homers in 93 Single-A games as a second baseman. He continued playing college football at the same time and was later drafted by the Seahawks, and he's been in the NFL ever since.
The Rangers selected Russell in the minor league phase of the 2013 Rule 5 Draft and brought him to Spring Training as a guest speaker a few times. Now the Yankees will do the same.

Climate Scientists "Gone Astray"…"Climate Alarm Bubble Gradually Rupturing", German Scientists Say
By: Admin - Climate DepotJune 7, 2018 3:59 PM
http://notrickszone.com/2018/06/06/climate-scientists-gone-astray-climate-alarm-bubble-gradually-rupturing-german-scientists-say/
At the Wall Street Journal, Steven F. Hayward penned a great summary on the current state of the climate movement, telling that the CO2 climate change issue is quickly running out of oxygen. Comparing the movement to earlier environmental movements, Hayward tells us that such movements can be broken down into 5 phases: Bring attention to the problem Euphoric enthusiasm to solve it Realization of the huge, painful costs Thus a decline of interest follows Issue moves to limbo…kept on life support When it comes to climate change issue, today we find itself at stage 4, at least in Europe. In the USA it's at about stage 5. So it's little wonder that climate scientists are frustrated, and openly lashing out in bursts of rhetorical aggression, of the sort we discussed here when criticized. Climate scientists losing relevance Leading climate scientists, who once fancied themselves as the architects of a new society and as policy masterminds, are now realizing they are becoming irrelevant. A very bitter pill to swallow indeed. Yesterday German scientists Dr. Sebastian Lüning and Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt commented (below) on the NASA's Gavin Schmidt's and the PIK's Stefan Rahmstorf's harsh reaction to the public criticism from sociologist and and think-tank director Oliver Geden: Stefan Rahmstorf loses his nerves at Twitter Geden believes the job of policymaking needs to be left to policymakers, and not nerdy climate scientists in lab coats. Geden accused the activist climate scientists of "overconfidence bias". ===================================== Lüning and Vahrenholt comment at Die kalte Sonne on the reaction that ensued: "Naturally that did not please the climate alarmists at all. Foremost they want to rescue the world and turn it inside out. God forbid the notion of having to return to their dark labs and having to carry out the tedious and dull work involving climate science. The desire for power is strong, and people generally do not give it up so easily. Gavin Schmidt takes the stage. You know him: he's the director of the NASA-GISS Institute and climate activist, just like his predecessor. He tweeted that climate scientists indeed could be politically active because after all they are constantly being asked for their opinions by decision-makers. Smart climatologists have long understood this (Schmidts tweet). That was a cue for one of Schmidt's best friends, namely Stefan Rahmstorf. He immediately took out the big stick from his bag to retaliate against the criticism aimed by Geden at his alarmist colleagues. He accused Geden of having much less contact with policymakers than him and his associates. Rahmstorf has "discredited himself" Moreover, he accused Geden of lacking academic credentials. Rahmstorf advised Geden to finally leave his climate colleagues alone and that they did not need his advice Tweet here. That's the Rahmstorf we love: unreceptive to criticism and hits out below the belt. No wonder that he is no longer allowed to write on the IPCC report. With his very unbearable manner, he has completely discredited himself. Geden coolly responded to Rahmstorf's emotional outburst: You want to make this personal, even if you haven't been involved in the conversation? And my academic achievements aren't good enough to criticize questionable factual claims? These are usually good enough to review articles on climate targets in Nature research journals… plus: what exactly do you know about my direct contacts w/ policymakers? It's my daily job since my institution (@SWPBerlin) is funded by the Chancellery to advise (whole) government and parliament (not only enviro & research), I even worked at the top level of two ministries, therefore: I know not only what policymakers and politicians say when meeting 'leading climate scientists', but also what they say before and after those meetings, and what role (new) scientific knowledge plays in actual policymaking.' Climate scientists "gone astray" The above Twitter communication is a nice document confirming how the representatives of climate alarmism have gone astray. Obviously there is no interest in a balanced professional discussion. Research from inconvenient subjects should be stopped, policymakers should only listen to the alarmists. The climate alarm bubble is gradually coming apart and we are seeing live." =========================================
