Dark romanticism, enlightening truths, and forbidden desires permeate this ambitious interpretation of Margaret Atwood's award-winning novel, The Handmaid's Tale. The sobering speculative tale is thrillingly reimagined through extraordinary athleticism and theatricality. Enslaved to the Commander of Gilead where human rights have been stripped away, the concubine Offred must navigate this dystopian society alongside her fearless friend Moira and illicit lover Nick.
"Creating a ballet based on Margaret Atwood's prescient novel, The Handmaid's Tale, has been a longstanding and passionate wish for me. In the years since the novel's debut in 1985 it has only grown in relevance and importance. Once seen as "controversial", the story, its premise and its characters, are now fully part of our culture and our lexicon. It has been a privilege for me to work with RWB and their brilliant and dedicated dancers on this project. I am deeply indebted to Ms. Atwood for her support and her wisdom." — Lila York in regards to working with Margaret Atwood on The Handmaid's Tale.

Back to Kidney and bladder
Kidney and bladder
Kidney donation
Kidney and bladder - Kidney treatments and transplants
Surgery - Blood, tissue and organ donation
A kidney transplant can offer people with kidney failure a longer and more active life.
Kidneys are often donated after death, but more people are choosing to donate one of their two kidneys while still alive (living kidney donation).
People who choose to donate after death must first be declared dead according to strict guidelines.
A donated kidney from a living person is likely to remain healthy for longer than one from a donor who is dead, but there is some risk to the donor.
Donating a kidney while you are alive is not likely to cause any health problems unless your remaining kidney becomes injured or diseased.
Kidney transplant is the most common type of transplant performed in Australia. Kidney transplants have a high success rate, with 95 per cent of kidneys surviving for at least one year and 80 per cent surviving at least five years.
People who need kidney transplants may have any number of conditions that lead to kidney failure, which means their own kidneys no longer adequately remove waste and fluid from their blood. People can survive with kidney failure using dialysis but a kidney transplant, if suitable, can offer a longer and more active life, and reduces the need for dietary and fluid restrictions.
Kidneys are often donated after death. Unfortunately, there are more people waiting for a kidney than there are available kidney donors. Thanks to the success of the Australian and New Zealand Paired Kidney Exchange (ANZKX) Program, more people are now receiving a donated kidney from a living donor.
Not everyone is medically suitable to receive a donated kidney and some people may not want to have a kidney transplant. For these patients, dialysis is the main treatment option.
Kidney donation after death
You can register your decision to donate your organs after death through the Australian Organ Donor Register. Kidney transplants have a high success rate and by donating after death, you will be giving someone the potential to have a longer and more active life than they would have had on dialysis treatment.
A transplant from a deceased donor can be used for medically suitable people who have been stabilised on dialysis.
You must be declared dead before your organs and body tissues can be used. The two legal definitions of death in Australia are:
brain death – when a person's brain permanently stops functioning
circulatory death – when a person's heart permanently stops functioning in their body.
The type of death and the health of the organs and tissues of the potential donor dictate how the organ and tissue donation process will occur, and which organs and tissues can be donated.
Living donations can occur only for specific tissues or organs. For liver and bone marrow, a living donation is possible because in both, the tissue or cells can regenerate. This means the donor will not have any loss of function after a successful donation.
Kidneys cannot regenerate, but because we have two, healthy people can donate one of their kidneys and function well with the remaining kidney.
Becoming a living kidney donor
To be a living kidney donor, you must be of good physical and mental health. You would typically be between the ages of 18 and 60 years, and you must be free of any diseases that could affect the health of the person receiving the kidney. A specialist medical team will test to make sure you are a matching blood and tissue type. A close match is more likely with genetically related donors.
Directed kidney donation
A living donation from a relative or friend or is called a directed donation.
Most living kidney donors are biological relatives, such as a parent, brother or sister with a close blood and tissue match that reduces the risk of rejection of the organ. Biologically unrelated people such as partners or close friends can also donate, if compatible.
Non-directed kidney donation
Non-directed kidney donation is a reasonably new form of living donation that has been introduced in Australia. A non-directed donation is when someone altruistically donates their kidney to be given to the next suitable person on the waiting list. The privacy of the donor and identity of the recipient will be protected.
Paired kidney exchange is another form of living donation that helps to increase the number of living donors and recipients. The Australian and New Zealand Paired Kidney Exchange (ANZKX) Program is run by the Australian Organ and Tissue Authority.
Sometimes, a person who is eligible for a transplant has a relative or friend who would like to donate their kidney, but they have an incompatible blood or tissue type. In these instances, the AKX Programme will search the database of donor/recipient pairs to find donor/recipient combinations where the donor in an incompatible pair can be matched to a recipient in another pair. In this way, two or more simultaneous living kidney donations can take place. In late 2015, a record seven-way kidney swap took place across Australia, kick-started by an altruistic Victorian living donor.
Risks for the living kidney donor
A donated kidney from a living person is likely to remain healthy for longer than one from a deceased donor. However, there is some risk to the donor. The surgery lasts for about three hours and will be followed by a hospital stay of four or five days. The surgery can have complications, but people can usually resume their everyday lives after six to eight weeks.
Donating a kidney is not likely to cause any long-term health problems, unless the remaining kidney becomes injured or diseased.

Catholic Marriage Preparation in the 21st century is undergoing a radical re-orientation. Psychological sciences are developing excellent insights into what makes relationships work and the theological advances are equipping Catholics to more clearly and powerfully articulate the role of Matrimony in the mission of the Church. In addition, new technologies provide flexible and more effective ways for parishes to nurture the gift of Matrimony in all its stages within their community.
Jesus frequently referred to himself as the bridegroom and many of his parables made reference to the betrothal and nuptial traditions of the day. As a community of believers, we can only fully understand our identity in Christ when we internalize our call to be the bride of Jesus. This Nuptial Ecclesiology is more fully explored in St John Paul II's Theology of the Body.
Matrimonied couples (that is married couples properly formed in their vocation and growing throughout their life in faith and in love) are uniquely placed to help the church more fully understand our identity. They are an essential part of, and co-responsible with the clergy for, the mission of the Church.
Renewing and empowering the marriages in your parish brings benefits to the entire community as it helps couples grow more into their identity as prophetic leaders of the nuptial ecclesiology. Empowered couples are radical witnesses and effective workers for any number of apostolates in the parish and beyond.
Preparing for marriage is not just a 'course', it's a period of formation that includes relationship skills training, spiritual direction, prayerful discernment and practical support by the community. That's why the Church is moving away from intensives run by diocesan groups towards parish-based formation over several months. Online learning enables couples to access information presented by expert educators without leaving the parish, allowing parishes to manage and support the engaged easily and efficiently.
Providing a married sponsor couple to accompany each engaged couple not only helps the engaged couple forge relationships with active parishioners, it also helps them go deeper into the course content for a more effective formation that is grounded in faith (rather than simply good psychology).
In addition, the sponsor couple's marriage is also renewed and strengthened through participation. Sponsor couples regularly report how much they benefited personally from the course and are grateful they were given the opportunity.
The SmartLoving Engaged -Sponsor program is an opportunity to form and motivate all your parishioners. It is not just about the best possible experience for the engaged. It is also about embedding into Catholic culture a priority for ongoing marriage formation throughout the life cycle.
Experience shows us that Sponsors finish the course with enthusiasm to do more. For many, it is the first concrete experience they have had of their marriage having a sacramental impact on others; they see and feel the responsiveness of the engaged couple to their stories of struggle and hope. It's profoundly empowering and parish leaders should be ready to direct their energy into other parish initiatives.
We are looking forward to working with you to establish a new dynamism in your parish.
Every engaged couple registration includes a 'gift coupon' for a sponsor couple, which means that there is no cost to the Sponsor Couple to access the course. To view current prices, please visit here.
Clergy can access the course free. Go here.
NB: Workbooks can be self-printed from the PDF available in the course platform or ordered from our store at the time of purchasing the course. Significant savings are available when workbooks are ordered in bulk by a parish. Go here.
Establish a foundation team to be your first Sponsor couples. They will then recruit and train second generation sponsors, and help establish a permanent, sustainable marriage ministry.
Workbooks (for use by sponsors and engaged).

New Parish Initiative: Starting out in Catholic marriage can be tricky. We want every engaged couple who prepares for marriage through our parish to be accompanied by a Sponsor Couple, a couple who will meet with them several times throughout their engagement to share their life experience and offer prayerful support. Using SmartLoving Online, Engaged and Sponsor couples simply work their way through the online course material, using the Discussion Questions to review each lesson together. The first stage is to establish a foundation team of married couples who will work with Fr N to pilot the program. Please keep this initiative in your prayers.
To establish that marriage formation is a life-long endeavor and that this is about enriching all marriages, not just the engaged.
One of the priorities of this parish is supporting newly engaged couples to have a strong Catholic marriage. When a couple marries in the Catholic church they are required to do a formation course, the same way that anyone who prepares to receive a sacrament for the first time, participates in a preparation course. The course for engaged couples includes information on the Sacrament of Matrimony as well as relationship skills and spiritual formation activities. These courses are very effective in equipping couples to have stronger marriages. The preparation is not just a course, it's a formation period called the "Marriage Catechumenate".
However, the need for formation, doesn't end with the wedding. Just like we priests undertake regular formation and retraining, it's important for married couples to do the same. We need your marriages to be vibrant and up to date so that you can be a more effective witness of God's love in our community.
We know family life is busy and it's hard to get a time together to participate in a marriage retreat. So we are trialing a new system in this parish.
We want every engaged couple to be supported by a parish sponsor couple who will accompany their engaged couple during their Marriage Catechumenate. There is no training required for the Sponsor couples, they simply do the sponsor course in parallel with the engaged, meeting up to discuss what they have learned and offer prayerful support to the engaged.
Both couples benefit and with SmartLoving Online, you can do the course any time, any where and at your own pace.
Over the next few weeks, I will be approaching a number of married couples to join me in establishing a team to make this happen. Eventually I would like to see every married couple participate in some form of enrichment, and the online platform has lots of options, starting with the Engaged-Sponsor system.
It's a very exciting initiative and I am enthused about the possibilities for this course to be a source of nourishment to all the couples and families in our parish. If you think you might be interested in helping me get this started, talk to me after Mass or call me during the week.
Once you have your Foundation Team, you are ready to start enrolling engaged couples. We strongly recommend that you don't offer engaged couples options of other courses; simply state "in our parish we use the SmartLoving online course with a sponsor couple".
Explain and complete the required paperwork.
Register the couple for SL Online – Engaged. The couple can use their own credit card to enroll. If you have an all-inclusive fee structure, purchase coupon codes from SL or use a parish credit card at the eStore checkout.
Arrange a Sunday Mass time for them to receive their Betrothal blessing and meet some available sponsor couples.
If there are more than one Sponsor couple available, let the engaged couple choose their own sponsor couple – someone with whom they feel a natural rapport. This will facilitate the establishment of the friendship and gives the engaged a sense of ownership in the course.
Explain what will happen at the Mass and afterwards.
Regular mass goers, preferably both Catholic, but may include couples with mixed faiths provided that they both support the teachings of the Church.
Not a close relative or friend to the engaged.
Make sure that a Sponsor is chosen and they have everything they need to get started (exchange contact details, workbooks, SL account (or the coupon code issued with the Engaged couple enrollment to the Sponsor course)).
Congratulations to N. and N. who are engaged to be married in [month 20XX].
They will be participating in SmartLoving Online with a parish sponsor couple. This multimedia course offers dynamic lessons that combine Catholic theology with the science of relationships. Please keep N. and N., and their sponsors, in your prayers.
N.and N.are preparing for marriage in our SmartLoving program. After Mass, I will be introducing them to some of our married parishioners who have signed up to become Sponsor Couples.
All of us need God's blessing throughout our life. When we are in formation to receive a Sacrament for the first time, we are in particular need of grace. Today, N. and N. begin their marriage catechumenate. Entering into Matrimony is a life-long commitment to die to self and to live for the other. We pray this blessing as they prepare to give themselves totally to each other in Matrimony on their wedding day.
to freely vow their permanent, total and faithful self-gift on their wedding day.
that binds the Christian family together.
We ask for your blessing to come down upon them.
Fill them with your grace as they begin their formation for Matrimony.
[Present the workbooks] Bless these workbooks that will become a precious record of their journey together as N. and N. prepare themselves wholeheartedly for Matrimony.
between now and their wedding day.
The course generally takes around 3 months to complete when lessons are spaced at 1 per week.
They arrange a meeting time to discuss their insights from Lesson 1.
Sponsor & Engaged do Lesson 1 at home before this meeting, or they can meet to do the first lesson together.
Below are the 'ideal' format for these meetings. However, parishes may decide to adjust these for pragmatic reasons.
Frequency: Ideally after each lesson (9 meetings) but if the engaged couple is not local, or the sponsors are especially busy, fewer meetings may be advised.
Location: Ideally in the sponsor's home (domestic church) but may be in a parish facility, park or café.
Mode: Ideally face to face but may be by phone or VOIP such as Skype/Facetime/Hangouts, if the engaged couple lives remotely from the parish, or there are child care issues for the engaged.
Sponsor: Ideally a parish couple but could be a couple from a neighbouring parish, a member of the parish staff (eg sacraments minister, deacon) or a 'half' couple (husband or wife).
First Meeting: Refer to the Sponsor Guide notes for tips on what to do during the meetings. The first meeting needs to include a discussion on confidentiality, the role of the sponsor and a plan for the remaining meetings.
Last Meeting: At end of the course, the Engaged couple completes the Assessment for the celebrant.
SmartLoving is available for any support the sponsor couple might need via the online hub, email or phone.
Refer to the Sponsor Guide resources for additional tips and documentation.
At the end of the course, the engaged couple completes an online 'assessment' of short answer questions. Their answers are formatted into a PDF document with their completion certificate on the front.
A copy is emailed to each fiance and, if they provide the email address, a copy is also emailed to the celebrant/supervisor.
The Sponsor Couple debriefs with the celebrant on their experience.
Celebrant notes any relevant items in the engaged couple's case file.
The Celebrant may request the Sponsor couple to provide additional support to the couple such as wedding liturgy assistance.
If the couple is receptive to Reconciliation or it has been some months since their last Reconciliation, it could be offered at the Wedding Rehearsal, or in the week before the wedding.
While Sponsor couples should not feel obliged to attend the wedding, a parish presence at the church ceremony is a wonderful opportunity to extend the welcome to the extended family and friends.
Sponsors may sponsor another couple, but ideally, a new sponsor couple will be sourced for each engaged couple. This helps renew the marriages of more couples in the parish and frees sponsor couples to take up other related ministries. It also makes the invitation to become a sponsor less onerous if the commitment is only for one engaged couple.
Sponsors can continue contact with their engaged couple to encourage connection with the parish and to be available should the newlyweds wish to revisit any of the material from the course.
Today we pray for N. and N. who will be married at NAME OF CHURCH on DATE at TIME. Special thanks to N. and N. who were their Sponsor couple. Please keep them in your prayers over the coming weeks as they prepare to commit their lives to each other in Matrimony.
Next week N. and N. will marry at [Name of Church]. They have been part of our SmartLoving formation course and have spent the time of their engagement faithfully preparing themselves in mind and heart to commit themselves to each other for life. They have been accompanied by N. and N. who are their sponsor couple, sharing their wisdom and encouraging each other to grow deeper in their love and in their faith.
Weddings give our community hope. It reminds us of the great promise of God: that he loves us with greater intensity and urgency than even the most passionately in-love couple.
Today, we invite N. and N. (sponsors) to pray over N. and N. (engaged). The Response is: Lord help us to remain in your love.
Sponsors: Heavenly Father, you call us into love and make us your beloved sons and daughters. We call upon you now with confidence.
R/. Lord, help us to remain in your love.
Sponsors: You sent us your divine son, Jesus, to be our bridegroom, and to call us into communion.
Sponsors: You pour out your grace on us that we might grow in faith and in love.
Sponsors: You call N. and N. to the communion of life and love that binds the Christian family together, mind and heart.
as they walk towards their wedding day and in the weeks that follow.
May they know your love and draw strength from your grace.
they might always remain in your love. Amen.
What is one insight from the course that you have found particularly relevant. How has it impacted your relationship?
At the end of a suitable period (eg 1 year), all couples (sponsors, newlyweds/engaged) and clergy gather to celebrate and share fellowship.
Hospitality is important for building community so always include food and drink of some kind (eg wine & cheese, supper, coffee/tea & cake, pot luck dinner etc).
Open and close with a simple prayer.
Invite couples to share on the question: What is one insight from the course that you have found particularly relevant. How has it impacted your relationship?
Review the experience of couples: What worked well? What could be improved?
If the group is large (eg more than ten couples) it might be better to break into smaller groups for sharing, then have a spokesperson report to the large group.
Establish a coordinating team of 2-3 couples (The M-Team) to plan and execute initiatives for marriage and family in the parish.
Put a time frame for commitment (eg 2 years) and plan for a staged rollover so that the M-Team does not stagnate.


We just introduced Merchandize section on Unocoin.com where you will be able to buy bitcoin related articles and souvenirs using bitcoins in your Unocoin wallet. The first item available for now is 5X physical bitcoin by CoinMonk that holds 0.01 BTC each and will be shipped to you anywhere in India free of cost. This is a great and sweet way to introduce someone to bitcoins. The product comes with a bitcoin wallet (paper wallet) of its own along with introduction to bitcoin and its advantages in a leaflet nicely packaged that is surely giftable. Check it out. You can reach Merchandize section through the left menu after you login.
Bitcoin Alliance of India (BAI) is a not-for-profit association in India aimed to be "voice of bitcoin in India". Even though it is an initiative by stakeholders of CoinMonk Ventures Private Limited, it is aimed to become a stand alone and self sustaining body. Lot of other bitcoin traders and bitcoin business/enthusiasts has also expressed their support and are willing to help BAI financially through donations to achieve its goals. You can read about developments of Bitcoin in India since mid-december at a Coindesk article.
BAI just completed a press conference headed by Nishith Desai Associates (NDA), the best legal and auditing firm in India, which has aimed to urge govt to declare that bitcoin is not illegal in India and this request is based on techno-legal analysis done by a Bitcoin practice group at NDA. This press conference did help to restore some reputation of bitcoin in India.
The next plans of BAI and NDA include a presentation to RBI and governing authorities about bitcoin and what possibly can be done to have govt encourage the use of bitcoins in India.
BAI aims to bring lot of other programs that will be beneficial to Indian bitcoin community as a whole in the long run. As BAI is working with the best of the class in every industry as this is not a time to compromise in quality nor take "no" for an answer, BAI is in need of huge funds to support itself and continue to be the voice of bitcoin in India. In an attempt to support BAI, Unocoin by default will be collecting 0.5% of trade value from the customers on every bitcoin buy and sell operations and Unocoin will be matching the same from its profits and hence donate 1% of trade value to BAI. We at Unocoin believe that you as being a valuable and knowledgeable customer will appreciate our efforts, love India more than you love Bitcoin and finally help India not to lag behind technology.
Addition: You have an option donate up to 2% or even to opt-out of donations by visiting Settings page on Account-settings menu. What ever you opt for, Unocoin will continue to donate 0.5% towards BAI.
Bitcoins Alliance India (BAI), a community of Bitcoin entrepreneurs, welcomes the RBI warning about the risks surrounding the purchase, sale or use of Bitcoins. In light of the recent events, BAI appointed Nishith Desai Associates, an international Legal and Tax Counsellors, to examine the legality of Bitcoins.
Similar positions have been taken by Canada, the UK, Norway, Germany, Sweden, Israel, Cyprus, Turkey, Australia, Argentina and several others. Monetary Authority of Singapore has stated that whether or not businesses accept Bitcoins in exchange for their goods and services is a commercial decision and it will not interfere with it. China has restricted only financial institutions from dealing directly in Bitcoins without making it illegal.
Bitcoin is cryptographic digital product first described in a 2008 paper by single or group of pseudonymous developer(s) by the name of Satoshi Nakamoto who called it a "peer-to-peer electronic payment system". Bitcoin creation and transfer is based on open source cryptographic protocol managed in a decentralized manner.
The Bitcoins look like currency or money, but it is not. It sounds similar to security, but it is not. It feels like a derivative or a negotiable instrument, but it is not. It's not pre-paid instrument either. While in the US, Bitcoins are regarded as a commodity, it is doubtful whether it could be considered so in India as it is an intangible property.
At best it is a combination of protocol, data, and software program stored at multiple locations. When transacted it involves some kind of bartering. If the Bitcoins themselves are sold for a price in terms of 'money', Sale of Goods Act would apply but accepting Bitcoins against goods should not attract the provisions of Sale of Goods Act. Provisions of FEMA would not be triggered especially when the transactions are intra-India. Even importation of Bitcoins would be legitimate if transactions are carried out through proper banking channels. In any event as a commercial transaction the provisions of the Indian Contract Act would have to be complied with. Consequently a transaction in relation to Bitcoins must be for lawful consideration and should not be opposed to public policy. However, exporting goods from India against Bitcoins would not be permissible as the proceeds of exports must be repatriated to India in terms of foreign exchange through normal banking channels. Thus Bitcoins per se are not regulated by any authority as it an 'internet product' so to say.
It came to us as a bit of surprise that the BAI traders have a stringent KYC (know your client) process which is voluntarily followed by them. It appeared to be similar to the process followed by Indian banks. Further, it has been clarified to us that they would be willing to share all information with regulatory authority in accordance with law.
Whether the Bitcoins can be used for illegal trade is a question often asked. Yes, like any other cash it can be. But the cash is simply not traceable except by catching someone with physical possession. Bitcoins are far more traceable than money especially when traded through Bitcoin traders. BAI is committed to develop further standards of openness and transparency in collaboration with the regulators.
BAI urges the government to clarify that the Bitcoins are not illegal per se, however, they are saddled with number of commercial risks including its volatility, loss of hardware, digital wallet, etc.

After the occupation of Afghanistan, the Taliban took full control, Afghan lecturer Obaiduddin Baheer tweeted in detail about the situation here and the lifestyle of the Taliban.
According to the details, the situation in Afghanistan is prominent in the international media at the moment. "I traveled within the city of Kabul today and observed that the armed Taliban were on patrol with Rangers, operating the traffic system and guarding important buildings," Obaidullah Baheer said.
Obaiduddin Baheer said in his tweet that he saw the women who were on the streets while the shops were closed. Interestingly, there were no large or armored vehicles on the road. The Taliban were satisfied and greeted the visitors. , No checking.
In another tweet, Obaiduddin Baheer said, "I wanted to interview a Taliban commander to get some help from the people there." Refused to be interviewed.
Disappointed at this, I came out. I imagined seeing the world of Khalid Hussain. Obaiduddin Bahir said that I was still amazed at his discipline and respect. We will change our minds.
In his last tweet, Afghan lecturer Obaiduddin Baheer explained that these tweets are not to correct their mistakes but to present the things I saw today, we support them and hope that our Let both worlds be willing to make peace.
I travelled within the city of #Kabul today. Here is what I observed:
1) The #Taliban are on constant patrol with humvees and rangers. Armed to the teeth.
2) They are conducting traffic and guarding important buildings. [1/5]
— Obaidullah Baheer (@ObaidullaBaheer) August 16, 2021
3) Saw close to no women on the roads and all shops were shuttered. What was interesting was that there were no large or armoured vehicles on the road either.
4) The Taliban were courteous and would greet you every time you pass but no checking. [2/5]
5) Asked a Taliban commander if it was okay for me to interview him so he can help disseminate some calm among the population. He said he had to seek permission, on the call he just asked them if he could or could not and when the answer was no, he politely declined. [3/5]
It should be noted that after the occupation of Afghanistan by the Taliban, the value of the Afghan currency fell. Before the Taliban, the value of an Afghan currency was 2 rupees 40 paise, which has now become one and a half rupees.
Obaidullah Baheer also shared a video in which the Taliban is punishing a man for stealing a car.

The Taliban began to clarify their policy after taking control of the Afghan capital, respect for women's rights is part of their new policy. The Taliban assured female doctors and staff of safety during a visit to hospitals, a female anchor interviewed on Tolo News. On the other hand, the situation in Kabul is returning to normal.
There are some revenge Taliban, has the style changed? Or changed trend ?? After taking control of Kabul, the Taliban announced a general amnesty, assuring that women's rights would be respected. Evidence of this can be seen in the fact that the Taliban visited hospitals last night and instructed female doctors and staff to continue their work, assuring them of safety.
The Afghan TV channel Tolo News did not exclude the women either, and a female TV anchor not only participated in the broadcast but also interviewed a Taliban spokesman.

Dylan Wright, who's a major target of the Arkansas Razorbacks, is an ESPN 4-star prospect, the No. 25 receiver and the No. 145 overall prospect in the nation.
His drive to be the best is fueled by his love for his mother.
"She means everything to me," Wright said.
His mother played flag football when he was younger, thus where he learned to play the sport.
Wright, 6-3, 188 pounds, of West Mesquite (Texas) has more than 30 scholarship offers from schools like the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Texas, Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Texas A&M, Georgia, Michigan, LSU and others.
Initially, his mother was reluctant to let him play football.
When Wright was 6 years old, he wasn't sure he wanted to play football.
He soon had a change of heart and his love of football took off.
"The next year I told my daddy I was ready to play football and I started loving it after that," Wright said.
Wright, who visited Fayetteville in February, said recently that he'll probably take an official or unofficial visit to Arkansas this fall. He plans to release a video of his top five schools in the near future. He said the Hogs will be one of those schools.
His mother has provided tough love when needed to help motivate him.
Her upbringing has rubbed off on her son.
Wright has described his relationship with receivers coach Justin Stepp more like a brother-type relationship and one that will keep the Hogs in the hunt for him until the end. Stepp also has a strong relationship with Wright's mother.
He explained why Stepp and his mother hit it off too.
"Just the vibe he gives off," Wright said.
The Arkansas Razorbacks football Twitter account tweeted a video of this year's uniforms on Monday. Arkansas players, former players, parents and recruits approved.
"Modern style + traditional" was added to the tweet.
Joe T. Robinson defensive end and Hogs commitment Zach Williams, 6-4, 225, 4.57 seconds in the 40-yard dash, liked what he saw of the uniforms.
Outside linebacker Zach Zimos, 6-4, 215, 4.5 of Richmond (Texas) Travis made an official visit to Fayetteville on June 3-5 and will visit again on July 27.
"Top of the line, fresh look, and clean," Zimos said of the uniforms.
Defensive back Myles Brooks, 6-3, 200 pounds, of Pflugerville (Texas) Hendrickson is also planning to visit Fayetteville on July 27.

Seek Justice In Fair, Moderate Manner, KL Archbishop Tells Lawyers
Submitted by newsteam on Mon, Jan 25, 2016 - 8:00 am
Political & judicial authority
Kuala Lumpur, Jan 16, 2016 (The Malaysian Insider) --
Archbishop Julian Leow urged Catholic lawyers to pursue justice in a "fair and meek manner in the midst of extreme issues facing the country", at the annual Red Mass celebration this morning.
He, however, said he used the term "meek" to mean "moderate", as opposed to being timid or soft.
Leow told the lawyers, who had gathered at the mass to pray for justice in their profession, that the Bible explained "meek" as being in the middle, where one was not extremely angry but neither uncaring.
In his sermon at Sentul's St Joseph's Church, the Archbishop said Catholic lawyers had a duty to pursue justice in a fair and meek manner, in the midst of extreme issues facing the country.

Meanwhile, Catholic Lawyers Society (CLS) president Allen Miranda, when asked what legal issues were of most concern to lawyers at the present time, said it was the case involving kindergarten teacher M. Indira Gandhi over the unilateral religious conversion of her children by her Muslim convert husband.
He said, however, that they would continue to take a moderate stand as they had in the past, always preferring to take the dialogue route to resolve issues.
Miranda also said they stood by the Malaysian Bar and the professional body's responses to legal issues.
"We agree with what the Malaysian Bar has to say, there is nothing more to add. They are always well-researched and are able to put matters into perspective," he told The Malaysian Insider.
Former CLS president Datuk Joy Appukuttan said as a lawyer, he was concerned about the important repercussions of Indira's case, as it affected the rights of minority religious communities.
He urged the government to be proactive and look into the needs of the people, saying a solution was needed in the present conflict.
"We can't be harping and keep seeking the courts when there is no redress.
"This has been going on for far too long and needs to be addressed immediately."
Appukuttam also said all parties cannot be compelled to go to religious courts to have the conversion issue addressed, adding that it was a matter for the civil courts.
"The victims here continue to be the children.
"Let's not forget we are a multi-racial country and the rights of everyone should be protected," he told The Malaysian Insider.
Lawyer Annou Xavier also expressed concern over the fate of Indira and her children, saying that the call by the Archbishop about escalating extremism was timely.
"The call by the Archbishop is timely not only to the Catholic lawyers, but to all Malaysians.
"Every Malaysian has a duty to eradicate the extremism element from our nation in a civilised way.
"In the same manner, authorities and courts must also apply and interpret the law in a just manner so that justice is not only done theoretically, but seen to be done."
Some 70 lawyers attended the mass.
The Red Mass is named after the garments of the celebrant and it is traditionally offered to those involved in the administration of justice, praying for guidance from the Holy Spirit.
In Malaysia, the Red Mass has been celebrated annually by CLS for the past 20 years, presided over by archbishops, bishops and priests.

Smart Alex: Arctic Monkeys pissed the right people off
It seemed like Ireland was the only country that Arctic Monkeys didn't include on their summer festival schedule, and there was plenty of moaning when they didn't get added to the Picnic.
But after a few months of playing on Main Stages to tens of thousands, where the ratio of proper fans to hangers-on isn't always in your favour, most bands enjoy getting back indoors and keeping it more intimate – even if that intimacy is Ireland's biggest blockbuster arena.
If rock conventions stuck, Arctic Monkeys were never supposed to get this far. The band emerged as jumped-up teenagers from Sheffield with their single I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor – one of the first pre-YouTube crossover viral singles that jumped from MySpace to top of the singles charts and turned them into predictable 'saviours of rock' in the middle of the landfill indie decade.
But it soon turned out the youngsters weren't some flash in the pan bunch of oiks. Their 2006 debut album Whatever People Say I am, That's What I'm Not was an immediate No1, and is still the fastest selling debut in the UK and has sold millions worldwide, even as they emerged just as people stopped buying CDs.
Frontman Alex Turner was held up as the latest in a long line of Northern English lyricists with a mastery of observation and wit, with a few hysterical comparisons to Mark E Smith and Morrissey. Still, it wasn't extreme hyperbole when the NME declared them "our generation's most important band", for their grassroots internet savvy and independent nature.
While insanely catchy, the band's actual music was borrowed heavily from garage rock and punk, but all other chart guitar bands of the era were nicking from the same well, just not pulling it off with as much swagger. After releasing their follow-up Favourite Worst Nightmare, the band headlined Glastonbury in 2007 – surely the quickest jump from debut single to topping the Pyramid stage in the history of the festival.
On their following albums, Humbug, Suck It and See and AM, the band eased away from their punky garage roots, for more widescreen productions and experimentation – after Turner indulged his Scott Walker and Jarvis side on his Last Shadow Puppets project.
Josh Homme joined for production on Humbug, adding a Queens of the Stone Age desert rat stomp to some tracks, and he appeared in the following two albums to unleash his trademark dirty falsetto.
The band's biggest departure from type came with this year's Tranquillity Base Hotel & Casino, which divided fans and critics down the middle. They'd been out of the spotlight for four years, so extra scrutiny was expected, but the piano-led lounge lizard detours, prog, soul and Diamond Dogs Bowie-isms threw people, and Turner's sci-fi concepts are a big left turn from his usual wry, well-grounded observations.
But this new semi-cosmic breakthrough is more suited to the big stages. Presenting a concept album about a luxury hotel on the moon deserves offers a level of escapism that was maybe lacking in previous Arctic Monkeys gigs – and if you're a fan who's lucky enough to have a ticket, you'll still get those hyper punked-up passages from back when the band – and the world – was a lot more innocent.

Macon officials dedicate solar farm
4 years 2 weeks 9 hours ago Wednesday, July 01 2015 Jul 1, 2015 Wednesday, July 01, 2015 2:23:00 PM CDT July 01, 2015 in News
By: Chris Gothner, KOMU 8 Reporter
MACON - Macon officials, along with officials from Gardner Capital and MC Power Companies, officially dedicated the city's 10,800-panel solar farm Wednesday.
The farm provides power to 35 Missouri cities that are part of the Missouri Public Energy Pool (MoPEP). Aside from Macon, mid-Missouri cities set to receive power from the farm include Fayette, Hermann, Marshall, Salisbury and Vandalia. According to MC Power, the solar farm, which began producing power for Macon in May, is expected to generate an estimated 4,990 MWh of power annually, enough to meet the needs of 300 homes.
Stephanie Wilson, general manager of Macon Municipal Utilities, said Macon currently generates about 12 percent of its power from renewable sources. She said the solar power farm will not bring a major increase to its renewable energy percentage but is an incremental step.
"3.2 megawatts, it doesn't increase it very much," Wilson said. "It's a good size project for our town and for our peak use of electricity."
Wilson said additional solar farms in Trenton and Marshall, which are part of MoPEP, will add additional solar power into Macon's grid.
"It's 3.2 megawatts today, but those towns are adding 3.2 megawatts in their towns as well," Wilson said. "It makes more of our portfolio a renewable energy source."
Macon mayor Dale Bagley said the farm reflects his city's committment to green energy.
"The City of Macon is really interested in green energy," Bagley said. "We make our contribution to the safe, clean energy for the citizens of the United States and Macon. It sounds kind of grandiose, but that's the way we think about it."
Loren Williamson, a vice president at MC Power, said Macon stood out among MoPEP cities for its willingness to take on the solar farm project.
"They showed a great deal of interest, the community was behind it, they had a perfect site behind their industrial park," Williamson said.
Bagley said solar power is just one form of energy the city intends to use in the coming years. He said the city also plans to capture methane from nearby landfill gas. Wilson said landfill gas energy is still years away.
"We do have a landfill a few miles away from Macon," Wilson said. "There's not quite enough methane yet to transfer that landfill gas into electricity."
According to MC Power, groundbreaking on a second solar farm is scheduled for Wednesday, July 8 in Trenton. The Trenton solar farm is expected to open in 2016.

Basic research is based on a multi-disciplinary approach to understand how myelin is formed, how it is damaged in disease, and how it may be repaired. In particular, HJKRI will study disease mechanisms of Krabbe Disease in order to formulate therapies. HJKRI strives to generate information that will promote effective treatment strategies not only for children with leukodystrophies, but also patients with Multiple Sclerosis, stroke, neuropathies and other diseases in which myelin is damaged.
We are studying the cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous mechanisms of axon degeneration, a process akin to programmed cell death.
We seek to understand how cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions contribute to cell shape and polarity within a developing tissue.
During the past five years Dr. Paez have found new and novel functions of voltage and store-operated Ca ++ channels as modulators of intracellular Ca ++ levels in oligodendrocytes.
Our research goal is to understand the transcriptional regulatory network governing the differentiation of oligodendrocytes and central nervous system myelination.
The Wrabetz Laboratory is interested in the molecular genetics of myelination, studied primarily in transgenic mice.

Q: Finding the last value in a row I have a row containing data in sets of four cells; port code, distance override, time of arrival and time of departure. The distance override columns can be empty.
The idea is to populate columns F and G with the first and last ports in the list (to feed to a filter system in a userform that's so beyond me that I'm trying not to think about it for now).

The cell in column F is a simple reference to column H. I used the method from Last value (=LOOKUP(2,1/(3:3<>""),3:3)) to get the last value in the row, which works fine. Unfortunately the last value is the time of departure, while what I need is the port code. I've tried adding -3 in a few different places in the formula, but I can't seem to make it go...
I could adjust the order of the columns to put the port code at the end, but I'd like to keep it as it is as the task spec stipulates this order.
Can anyone help?

A: My comment was more a suggestion than a full solution, but if that is all you need to solve your problem, then I'll post it as an answer.
For getting the last entry in a row / column  a fast solution is match. In your case:
get the last numerical value: =MATCH(1E+99,3:3)
get the last string:          =MATCH("zzz",3:3)

The way it works also is pretty simple: MATCH simply loops through all cells till it finds a value which is the same or bigger than the search term for the first option or for the second option till it finds a perfect match or a string which would be "sorted" after the search term. Assuming there is no possible match in range, it will point at the last cell which can be compared (as numerical value). However, both formulas will error out if there is nothing found in the whole range (no number first option and no string for the second) and also keep in mind that ="" (empty string) will still count as a string.
If there is a possibility for the whole range to not have one of them then you need the full term:
=MAX(IFERROR(MATCH("zzz",A:A),0),IFERROR(MATCH(1E+99,A:A),0))

However, this will only return the last column as number. to also get the value, you can simply put this inside an INDEX like this:
=INDEX(3:3,1,MAX(IFERROR(MATCH("zzz",A:A),0),IFERROR(MATCH(1E+99,A:A),0)))

The Rocky Mountains of Colorado were just turning gold when we left.
We have enjoyed twelve days of nice weather walking around London, hoping to get in better "walking shape" before starting our Via Francigena walk from Canterbury to Rome.
Except for one rainy and cold day, every day has been cool and dry, perfect weather for walking around this city.
When we left the mountains of Colorado, the trees had already started to change their colors, and in some areas, the forests were ablaze with warm gold tones.
We did absolutely no prior training for our upcoming pilgrimage before we came here.
We did no walking, no gym strength training, nothing….
After three months of sitting and painting in my studio, I knew that it would be hard to be on my feet for many hours every day, let alone to be walking every day.
During the first few days, we walked between 15 and 20 Kilometers each day, and my feet and calf muscles were very achy.
In the following days, little by little I have been getting adjusted to being on my feet all day and walking.
London is an exciting city with lots to see and do.
The architecture is wonderful and varied, the old markets are bustling but wonderful, and best of all, London is a city that is not full of high rise buildings, which allows you to see the sky everywhere.
Along our walks we crossed the canals, walked along the River Thames and enjoyed the city parks.
We rented a modern apartment in West London.
It is a new apartment hotel nearby the Royal Botanical Gardens, with daily housekeeping and glass walls that allows for views and light.
It is not a great neighborhood, but it has stretched us to go and see all the different neighborhoods around the city.
The different neighborhoods are diverse and worth strolling through.
We have walked through neighborhoods lined with trees, now shedding their golden leaves in front of the beautiful white townhouses.
We have passed by streets lined with small Polish markets, Bangladeshi or Indian eateries, vegan cafes, street art, brick buildings, museums, palaces, monuments, bridges and art galleries.
We have passed by large Turkish, Moroccan or Arab restaurants with outdoor seating, and seen people smoking apple scented tobacco in long necked Shishas.
We have seen people from all over the world, and been able to find all kinds of African food, European food and of course Asian food of every nationality, budget, style and flavor.
Because we knew that in the upcoming two weeks of walking in Northern France, we would eat only French food or on some days would have to eat just cheese and baguette sandwiches, we chose to eat in a variety of restaurants while in London.
London is no longer a city where chauffeur driven Bentley's or black Jaguars drive suit-clad aristocrats to high end boutiques and art galleries with snobbish attitudes.
Those days are truly gone.
Now, London is without a doubt, an immigrants' city.
We have heard every language from around the globe spoken in the streets, all except English, which is sparsely spoken.
The fashions, which used to be conservative and very pricy, is more or less the same as in every European city.
There are very affordable chain clothing stores, designer name shops and what is unique, are the high end boutiques.
In those high fashion boutiques, the fashion seems to be geared towards the "Crazy-rich" Asians from China, Hong Kong and Singapore, or towards the ever fashion conscious Persians and Arabs.
I have seen in the windows of those boutiques thousands of dollars worth of running suits, in shiny blue or red fabrics, studded with glittery sequins from head to sleeves.
High heeled funky shoes complete the outfits, removing all doubts that the person clad in one of those sequined track suits, has any intention of actually exercising.
But I do have to admit that I did like the very interesting clothing combinations that I saw in those high end boutiques.
It was a free and fun combination of high couture, with casual and practical sportswear.
Sometimes, when I want to wear my nice jackets or coats, I decide that they are not warm enough for the weather, or not practical enough for what I plan to do that day.
In those high fashion boutiques, they simply layer the puffy warm ski coats under high couture coats, or a pair of sweatpants under fashionable skirts.
On this trip, we have brought only hiking clothes, but I did like these fashion forward ways of combining the practical with the elegant.
It felt whimsical and careless in a good way.
The combination of designer coats over plastic rain hoody jackets, skirts over wide pants, the hems of t-shirts showing under dress shirts and layers of mismatched clothing, actually looked very cool.
Oh, and the food….. the food in most places we ate at was just superb.
We ate the best dim sum in a small and nicely decorated place called "Bo Lang" in Chelsea.
They have steamed Lobster dumplings with gold leaf and caviar, dumplings with prawn and chives, red cabbage and forest mushrooms, all wrapped in vegetable juice-colored thin dim sum wrappers, and steamed in bamboo baskets.
In "Dum Biryani", in a busy cave-like restaurant on the edge of Soho, we had the best vegetable Briyani, cooked in a clay pot and covered in a flaky puff pastry.
We had some fabulous Malaysian food and coconut based desserts in "Tukdin Flavours of Malaysia Restaurant," in Paddington.
We ate fabulous Chinese food in "The New Fortune Cookie" which is located next to the "Gold Mine," another place famous for its good Chinese food that truly IS a gold mine.
Lines of people stretch outside the Gold Mine, and their food, especially the Beijing Duck, is very good.
We loved the Tanya Cafe, which offers scrumptious finger-licking good vegan raw desserts and comfortable seating in South Kensington, and every morning we ate a healthy delicious breakfast and fresh juice at "The Wild Bunch" in Chiswick.
We had some good Balti Indian food in Brick Lane, and Greek food in a busy and loud restaurant called "The Real Greek" in the Southbank area, near the Tate Modern, just to name a few.
We also ate small snacks at the Camden and the Borough Markets, with their many lovely choices.
It is getting cooler now, but we are enjoying our time in London very much.
At the British Film Institute, there is a film festival that is starting this weekend.
We have bought tickets for some of the films.
The reason I love participating in film festivals is because most of the films never get wider distribution.
But the movies are exciting, moving and very worth watching.


Usually, this would make me cranky as all sin - but there are two things that have redeemed this afternoon: Schecky's completed homework assigment, and a much needed afternoon break!
You tell Schecky thank you for making my yucky Tues afternoon a little bit brighter with that wit of his! Bwahahahahaha!
You're very perceptive, Schecky! And you crack me up. What a great cure for the crankies!
omg, "No, because he looks like a 'sit around and drink tea kind of guy.'" Hee hee! That is wonderful!!
I take it Schecky doesn't like to sit around and drink tea?
He's very funny and so descriptive (11 years, 5 months).
I love the question mark in the second answer - like, he THINKS the kid might be funny, but maybe he's thought of a better reason, one that it would be rude to say.
I think that he got your sense of humor...."sit around & drink tea sort of guy"....!! Made me chuckle.
ohmygosh, that homework is hilarious! That would surely brighten my day.
Mmmm, mocha latte, my favorite.
Schecky doesn't like "sit around and drink tea kind of guy"s, yet what is his mama doing? So if it's a mocha latte it makes all the difference? Hahahahaha!
that was a riot! Loved the "no", I wouldn't like him because " he looks like a sit around kind of guy that drinks tea"
Must frame homework. Schecky is too funny. I love it.
Hi! Beki sent me over to your blog because she says it cracks her up on a regular basis.
That homework did indeed make me laugh out loud!
Mr. Geeky and I are giggling.
okay so i have to comment on the "sit around and drink tea kinda guy.' i guess that's a bad thing? i've always thought clowns were beer drinkers! your funny boy! what a hoot he is.

80 runners turned out for the Nov. 26 Cow Country Stampede race.
For the first year ever, event organizers reversed the route — forcing runners to trod slightly uphill on Melville Road instead of downhill, while also providing a view of the Crazy Mountains.
The change in course had another purpose too — it put the finish line at the Melville Lutheran Church where a group of high schoolers were preparing chili inside. The students sold the dish to raise funds for an upcoming mission trip to southern Kenya.

Gorringe's
Non-affilié
Gorringes - The leading fine art & antiques auction house in the South East. The business commenced in the early 1920s when Rowland Gorringe opened offices in Lewes, the county town of East Sussex, as an estate agent and auctioneer.
He held many sales in properties in Lewes and it's environs, most famously being instructed to sell the contents of Lewes House, a collection built by the American art connoisseur and collector Edward Percy Warren. This sale created international interest as, in addition to a remarkable collection of early furniture and works of art, it included the major works - Auguste Rodin's 'The Kiss' ('Le Baiser') and 'The Portrayal of Adam and Eve' by Lucas Cranach The Elder. This sale was certainly the talk of the county and was followed by a series of instructions to sell country house contents.
Rowland Gorringe was in 1945, instructed to sell a country house and its contents, north of Lewes, known as Roeheath. After the successful sale and with the property unsold, he received the instructions to sell several property contents that were brought together for a collective sale again at Roeheath.
Up until this time, collective sales had been regularly held at Wallands House in Lewes, the last sale there taking place in September 1945. Just after the war in 1946 Gorringes moved to its current site at 15 North Street in Lewes.
October 2002. Gorringes are pronounced the winners of the prestigious B.A.C.A. Award for the Best Provincial Auction Rooms.
Gorringes are members of Association of Accredited Auctioneers - AAA combines 20 UK auction houses, with a combined annual turnover of over £200m. Each member auction house has built a reputation for quality and integrity, many over a period of hundreds of years. AAA members are committed to the highest standards of creditability and services to buyers and sellers.
