[2740 AD; on the deck of the Ameci Atlas]
Henry looked onward as he could make out the country of Iiayikohn in the distance. It had been a long five days, but he was finally going to end up in Iiayikohn. His goal had become clear at this point, and to achieve it he would have to meet with Alan.
"Henry, are you okay?" Tori asked.
"I'm okay."
"You've been looking at the ocean the past two days," Tori said. "You haven't spoke or ate too much. I'm a little worried about you…"
"I can't say I've held onto my creed this whole time," Henry said. "I know what I said to you when we got on this ship, but still the nightmares haunt me."
Tori hugged Henry from behind, resting her head on his back. "Henry…"
"Tori, I can't keep you in the dark," he said. "The truth is that I've hated myself these past ten years. How could someone like me ever come back to you?"
"You're here with me, though."
"I know that," Henry said. "I can tell you'll keep believing in me, and I appreciate that, but what about the kids? Do I deserve to be their father?"
"I want them to have better lives than we did," Tori replied, "But I also want them to meet you, too."
"Tori, please don't," Henry said. "I love you, but I'm not the same man you fell in love with."
"I understand that!" Tori said.
"You don't," Henry replied. "I've had multiple days where I just wanted to end it all. Multiple days where I wanted to suffocate instead of breathe. Pick up a knife and… Damn it!"
Henry pounded the railing as Tori stepped back. He turned around to face her as tears filled his eyes.
"I'm not a hero," he said, "I'm just a coward. A coward that's afraid to stand up for himself."
Tori looked up at him, almost ready to burst into tears herself. "How dare you say that," she said. "You would rather just give in to doubt? That's not Henry Randolph. At least, not the Henry I know."
"What do you suppose I do?"
"I told you," she said, "I can help you. If I ask Rohan, then I know he will help you too."
"Do you have a plan?"
"I'm sure we can figure it out," Tori replied. "And if you continue to doubt, then I will believe for both of us until you do too."
"I-I really am grateful," Henry said.
"Don't forget."
"I won't," he said. "Come here."
As the two shared another moment together, Gavin had spotted the two. He looked away until they were finished, and started walking up to them again.
"Well, it looks like you win, Henry Randolph," Gavin said.
"What are you doing here?" Henry asked.
"Regretting," Gavin replied. "Everything I've done up to this point has been moot. Seems like you're off the hook… For now."
"Excuse me, but I don't think I've ever learned your name," Tori said.
"Oh, right," Gavin said. "I'm Gavin Power, failure at life."
"That's a bit extreme," Henry said.
"I would have added more, but clearly the effort isn't worth it."
"That's not true," Tori said. "After all, you are an expert marksman, right?"
"What good will that do me now?" Gavin asked. "I failed my mission of capturing him."
"Surely you have something else you can do," Tori answered.
"Not much I can do from here," Gavin said. "Just get off at wherever this ship takes us and find a way back home."
"Did you just hop on a ship without knowing where it went?" Henry asked. "That is quite… reckless."
"I suppose this is a learning experience, then," Gavin said.
"Hey, before you walk away," Tori said, "Maybe you would like to hear Henry's story. At least hear him out."
"Why should I do that?" Gavin asked.
"Because perhaps you'd find something in common?"
"Now that is hilarious," Gavin said. "Did you put her up to this, Henry Randolph?"
"No," Henry said. "Can you stop calling me by my full name? It's somewhat unnecessary."
"I suppose it doesn't matter, then," Gavin replied. "Fine, Mr. Randolph, I would love to hear your side of the story, although we all know it won't change my opinion of you."
Henry and Tori walked with Gavin down to the dining hall. Henry told Gavin about what he had been doing over the past ten years, as well as what he was going to do now. Gavin had his hand across his face the entire time.
"What are you thinking about now, Gavin?" Tori asked.
"There's no reason I should tell you," Gavin replied.
"I'm sure," Gavin said. "Your loyalty to this man is admirable, but that's all I will say."
"Is there nothing that can convince you? Perhaps whatever you're dealing with we can help with."
"Tori!"
"Henry, maybe this can be your first step," she said. "He's an Ameci soldier; he'd probably be able to reach out to Rohan and help."
"It's fine," Gavin said. "I suppose that I can share with you what's been troubling me. Thing is, there's someone I really care for."
"Like someone you love?" Tori asked.
"Oh god, no," Gavin replied. "I guess if by 'love' you mean 'care for them because they're family,' then maybe you'd be right."
"Okay," Tori said. "What about them, then?"
"You wouldn't want to know," Gavin answered. "The fact is that I've been trying to find him, and when I do find him I'm going to kick his ass!"
Gavin walked into the dining hall as Tori and Henry both looked at each other in shock. Henry shook his head and opened the doors. He and Tori went inside the dining hall, looking for a place to sit. As they looked around, Henry had caught the attention of a certain person.
"Hey, haven't we met before?" Sorin asked.
Henry sighed. "Yes, I do believe we have," he replied. "Sorin, right?"
"Hold on," Sorin said as he brought Kirk over. "This was who I was tell you about."
"I see him, Sorin," Kirk said. "Well, it's nice to see you, Henry Randolph."
"Nice to see you too," Henry replied.
"It's funny how you decided to be here," Kirk said. "To be honest, I'm surprised that you even have the gall to face me after what you did."
"Henry, do you know him?" Tori asked.
"Well, Henry, how about it?" Kirk asked. "Would you like to tell Tori about what happened?"

Blatt's Boys blown out in Athens opener
Mac TA done in by 22-0 mid-game run by Pana, down 1-0 in Euroleague quarterfinal.
By ALLON SINAI
Published: MARCH 21, 2012 05:51
Panathinaikos humiliate Maccabi Tel Aviv 370
Maccabi Tel Aviv will have to find a way to lift itself from one of its more humbling losses in recent memory to have any chance of reaching the Euroleague Final Four after being crushed 93-73 by Panathinaikos in Game 1 of the quarterfinals on Tuesday night.
Everything seemed to be going according to plan for Maccabi when Lior Eliyahu tied the score at 18-18 with just over two minutes to play in the first period.
However, a 22-0 run over the subsequent five minutes effectively clinched the win early in the second quarter, leaving Maccabi coach David Blatt with plenty to ponder ahead of Thursday's Game 2.
With Panathinaikos having homecourt advantage, Maccabi requires a road victory to win the series and will know it will have a bigger chance of doing so in Game 2 on Thursday than it would in a decisive Game 5.
However, considering Maccabi's performance on Tuesday, it can only dream of taking the series the distance, with the yellow-and-blue getting blown off the court by Panathinaikos.
The Greeks got off to the better start, but Devin Smith kept Maccabi in the game with nine consecutive points and the score was tied at 18-18 after two points from Eliyahu.
However, Sarunas Jasikevicius sparked a 10-0 run to end the first period to give the hosts a cushion (28- 18) they quickly extended, with Pat Calathes's three-pointer taking the margin to 40-18 from which there was no return.
Keith Langford had 21 points for Maccabi, with Smith adding 17.
However, no other Tel Aviv player scored more than six points, with Maccabi committing 18 turnovers in the game, 13 of them in the first half.
Dimitris Diamantidis had 15 points, eight assists and five rebounds for Panathinaikos, which clinched the win by hitting 16 of its first 18 field goals.

Red Hood Gang
Team » Red Hood Gang appears in 37 issues.
A gang of Gotham criminals who rotate men under the guise of their leader in order to help protect the identity of the gang's true leaders if a job goes wrong. The most notable "leader" of the Red Hood Gang was the man who became the Joker.
Short summary describing this team.
Team Wiki
Red Hood Gang appears in 37 issues
Red Hood and the Outlaws
The Red Hood Gang was created by Batman: The Killing Joke writer Alan Moore, who expanded upon the story told in Detective Comics #168 featuring the man who would become the Joker as a master criminal known as the Red Hood.
Major Story Arcs
The Killing Joke
In Alan Moore's famed story, the Red Hood Gang approaches a struggling comedian who was a former employee of Ace Chemical. The gang wanted this man to pose as their leader, and guide them through his old workplace in order to rob the building next door. This man, financially struggling to keep himself, and pregnant wife afloat, reluctantly agreed to the job.
Prior to the robbery, the man's wife and unborn son died in a freak accident, which lead him to try and back out of the robbery, something the Red Hood Gang wouldn't stand for, as they would then threaten and force him to go through with the job.
Unfortunately, during the robbery, Gotham City's new vigilante protector, Batman would show up to stop the crime. In the chaos that followed Batman's arrival, the man posing as the Red Hood Gang's leader falls into a vat of chemicals, and when he emerges in the water outside, he finds himself to have bleached skin, green hair, and a hideous smile. This man would later go on to become the Joker, Batman's most dangerous foe.
Zero Year
In the New 52 DC continuity, Batman writer Scott Snyder revisited the Red Hood Gang during the New 52's one year anniversary Zero Month, where all the books would be numbed #0, and revisit the past of starring characters. Snyder's story showed a Bruce Wayne who had just recently returned Gotham, had not become Batman yet, but nevertheless had started his crime fighting career.
One of Bruce's early targets was the Red Hood Gang, which he managed to infiltrate undercover. Unfortunately for Bruce, the leader of the gang knew his group had been infiltrated and managed to weed out a disguised Bruce as the culprit.
Though the gang attempted to kill him, Bruce manages to escape into the sewers after the police show up to break up the robbery. The gang eventually follows him into the sewer system, but a prototype motorcycle hidden in the tunnels allows Bruce to escape. The gang is later seen outside of Bruce's apartment, scoping it out for their next hit.

Gunnvá Zachariasen (født 21. marts 1973) er en færøsk skuespiller og instruktør, der har medvirket i flere teaterskuespil på Færøerne, Danmark og USA. Hun har også medvirket i film.

Kort tid efter, at hun var uddannet skuespiller i Danmark, flyttede hun tilbage til Færøerne, hvor hun etablerede teatertruppen TVAZZ. Denne teatertrup skabte stor diskussion i Lagtinget i 2002, da finanasloven skulle vedtages. Kort tid forinden opførte TVAZZ Margareta Garpes skuespil The Vagina Monologues, der i færøsk oversættelse fik titlen Ginu Søgur. Specielt de to lagtingsmedlemmer Gerhard Lognberg og Jógvan á Lakjuni satte spørgsmålstegn ved, om skuespillet overhovedet kunne kaldes kunst, de mente at det offentlige ikke kunne støtte sådan noget og lagde derfor sammen med to andre lagtningsmedlemmer et ændringsforslag for lagtinget, hvor de foreslog, at støtten til Leikpallur Føroya (aktiv fra 1989-2005) skulle skæres med 400.000 kroner. De fik dog ikke medhold, ingen andre end de fire lagtingsmedlemmer stemte for ændringsforslaget til finansloven. På Færøerne er det Mentanargrunnur Landsins, der på vegne af Lagtinget, uddeler økonomisk støtte til færøske kunstnerre/personer der arbejder med færøsk kunst.

Baggrund og karriere
Gunnvá Zachariassen startede sin skuespillerkarriere i Thorshavn i 1990'erne, da hun spillede med i flere Ólavsøka-kabaretter og Leikhúsjól. Hun spillede også med i nogle af Havnar Sjónleikarafelags skuespil og nogle gange var hun gæsteskuespiller hos Gríma. Hun tog på den nordiske højskole i Kungälv i Sverige, hvorefter hun studerede dramaturgi ved Århus Universitet i 1995-96. I 2000 blev hun uddannet skuespiller fra Statens Teaterskole i København. Derudover har hun også uddannet sig til massør fra Axelsons Institut 2005-06 og en diplomuddannelse i formidling fra Den Danske Scenekunstskole i Odsherred 2014-16. Hun har arbejdet som teaterskuespiller i Danmark, på Færøerne og i USA. Hun har spillet med i to film: Flyvende farmor og Bye Bye Bluebird. Hun er bestyrelsesmedlem i Leikarafelag Føroya. Hun var med til at etablere teatertruppen TVAZZ i 2006, og er stadig tilknyttet gruppen. Hun har også tilknytning til Tjóðpallur Føroya. Hun er projektleder for Nordic Performing Arts Days 2016.

The Pinelands Preservation Alliance holds a 5 day bike tour of the Pinelands every October. Ride one day, two days or all five – it's up to you!
Thank you for a great Tour!
Tour de Pines: October 2 – 6, 2019
The Tour de Pines, sponsored by Pinelands Preservation Alliance, celebrates Pinelands Month in October with five consecutive single-day bicycle tours of the New Jersey Pinelands. Proceeds benefit the Pinelands Preservation Alliance, a nonprofit organization working to protect the resources on New Jersey Pinelands since 1989. There is no other bike ride like this in New Jersey!
Each day's ride will range from approximately 43-55 miles per day and begin and end at the same location. Cue sheets are provided to all registered riders allowing you to go at your own speed. Participants provide their own transportation, food and lodging as this is an unsupported ride. But just because it is unsupported doesn't mean there aren't a lot of great benefits!
Other important things to know:
Short routes will be available on 3 of the 5 days
GPX files of all rides will be available for download after you register
3 NEW rides this year!
Ride as many days of the Tour as you want for the same price.
All rides start at 9:00 am and are loop rides returning you back to where you started.
Follow the Tour on Facebook
October 6th: Chili and Beer!
We will have beer and delicious chili from Just Between Friends Catering after the last day of the ride. Ride from our offices on Sunday and then hang out with other cyclists on the grounds of our historic property in Southampton. Free for all registered riders – non-riding family and friends are welcome and can pay $10 at the door. NOTE: This ride will be all NEW for 2019!

Scenic areas in both Ocean and Monmouth counties may be enjoyed, including many agricultural, tree and horse farms. The route passes through Colliers Mills and Assunpink Wildlife Management Areas (WMA), as well as a visit to Historic Walnford, a Monmouth County Park. Be prepared for some rolling terrain and a few steep hills! This ride crosses the Union Transportation Trail (a relatively new "rails-to-trails" that is also a part of the Monmouth County Parks System), and this trail could be a ride for another day. After your ride, stay a while to sample Laurita's wine and enjoy the atmosphere of this unique place!
Day 3 – Friday, October 4, 2019
ATLANTIC – CAPE RAMBLE

Book Review – Black Coffee: A Hercule Poirot Mystery by Agatha Christie (Adapted as a novel by Charles Osborne)
February 12, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments
Nearly a quarter-century after her death, Agatha Christie remains the most popular mystery writer of all time. Now, in a celebrated publishing event, fans and newcomers alike are treated to another Christie novel. Created in 1930 as a stage play and faithfully adapted by Charles Osborne, Black Coffee brings back beloved detective Hercule Poirot to exercise his "little grey cells" one more deliciously deductive time…
An urgent call from physicist Sir Claud Amory sends famed detective Hercule Poirot rushing from London to a sprawling country estate. Sir Claud fears a member of his own household wants to steal a secret formula destined for the Ministry of Defense. But Poirot arrives too late. The formula is missing. Worse, Sir Claud has been poisoned by his after-dinner coffee. Poirot soon identifies a potent brew of despair, treachery, and deception amid the mansion's occupants. Now he must find the formula and the killer…while letting no poison slip 'twix his low lips.
BLACK COFFEE was Agatha Christie's first playscript, originally performed in 1930 and made into a now rarely-seen film the following year. Combining her typically beguiling plot and sparkling dialogue with his own faithful narrative, Charles Osborne's novelisation is 'A worthy addition to the Christie canon' (The Spectator)
I was very surprised to find a copy of Black Coffee: A Hercule Poirot Mystery since I wasn't aware that this posthumous Christie novel even existed. Turns out that Christie biographer Charles Osborne (with the blessing of the Agatha Christie Limited) wrote novelized adaptations for three original Christie plays – Black Coffee, The Unexpected Guest and Spider's Web.
I was really excited to get started with Black Coffee, especially after reading the enthusiastic foreword by Christie grandson Michael Prichard (endorsing the book as "…this Hercule Poirot murder mystery, which to me reads like authentic, vintage Christie…) BUT… after actually reading through this (very short) book, my reaction is mostly a big MEH (plus Did that grandson really read his grandma's books?) This really isn't something that I can recommend (unless you're a huge completest Christie fan who needs to read anything / everything connected with Christie). I mean, on the one hand, it's cool that people who've never had the chance to see one of these plays can now enjoy them. But on the other hand, it's a pretty weak and disappointing work.
The plot is vintage Christie, yes (the classic English 'locked room' mystery), but it's written so dryly and bare-bones that I never felt like I was reading an actual novel (according to the Amazon.Com review, apparently, Charles Osborne was so faithful in his adaptation that what he did was simply "string the dialogue and stage directions together in paragraph form") I can understand wanting to be 'respectful' to Christie, but maybe someone else with more imagination and literary flair should've taken a stab at adapting this? How about developing the characters beyond what they were supposed to do via the stage direction?
It also really threw me that the identity of the murderer is practically revealed before the victim even falls dead (maybe that trick worked in the actual play, with other actors distracting the audience, but reading it on paper did NOT). Talk about killing all the suspense. I mean, isn't the point of a murder-mystery to keep the identity of the killer a secret and have the big reveal as a surprise?
The only thing I liked about Black Coffee is that Poirot at least acts and sounds like himself, and there's a considerable nostalgic pull to that.
Black Coffee: A Hercule Poirot Mystery by Agatha Christie, adapted as a novel by Charles Osborne (William Morrow Paperbacks) is available on Amazon as a Kindle edition, Paperback edition, and Mass Market Paperback edition. *Also available at Amazon UK.
The eBook is also available at B&N.

I saw this on stage a couple of years ago and thought it was all right but no classic; the actor who played Poirot was very good, so that helped.
i can understand that it might be rather dry set down on paper with "he said" and "she said" in front of each line.

Thanks for sharing! Well, I thought that written Poirot was the best thing about the book adaptation too 🙂

Over 100 years ago, before Kirkby Malham school was built, there appears to have been three schools in existence serving the villages of Malham and Kirkby Malham. The oldest one was in Kirkby Malham, founded in the year 1606 by Benjamin Lambert of Airton Hall and his friend John Topham. It was maintained by the income from certain lands. The school itself was pulled down about 100 years ago. Another school in Malham situated at the north east corner of the village and still standing was founded in 1717 by Rowland Brayshaw, also endowed with an income from lands. There is evidence of another school in Malham for girls, financed by a resident in Malham, who put £1,000 in Trust, the income from it being for the maintenance of the school but this school closed in the latter half of the 19th Century.
Shortly after 1870 the late Walter Morrison, M.P., then only about 35 years of age, who was a governor of the Kirkby Malham school, expressed to the Endowed School Commissioners his willingness to grant or secure a suitable site and at his sole expense erect there on school buildings sufficient and adequate for accommodating the pupils of both schools thereby amalgamating both schemes and endowments. The commissioners gave approval to this proposal on the 9th August 1872 and a new scheme was prepared to continue education in one school for the two villages. The first board of governors was formed during that year.
After considerable discussion regarding a site for the new school buildings the present one situated mid-way between the two villages was decided upon, being part of Raw Riggs meadow which was an endowment of the Malham school. In order to comply with the conditions of the scheme, Mr. Morrison bought one acre of the meadow for the sum of £50, and the erection of the school buildings and headmasters house during the following two years cost him a further £2,874 3s.1 0d.
The population of the whole parish at this time according to the 1871 census was 930, of whom about 700 lived within two miles of the new school.
During the summer of 1874 when the new school was almost completed, the governors advertised for a headmaster and assistant teacher to take up duties when the school opened on the 10th August of that year. 58 applicants replied to the advertisement. Mr. Edwin Wheadon Hicks was appointed the first headmaster at a salary of £70 per year plus half the school fees and half the Government grant. His wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Hicks, was appointed assistant teacher and received £30 per year plus a quarter of the school fees and a quarter of the Government grant. They taught in the school for five years.
The fees for school children in the upper department were £2 per year and the infants approximately 10/-. The headmaster was allowed to take up to six boarders in the school house, each boarder to pay £25 per year. The masters house servant cleaned the school for £3 per year.
According to the register of admission, about 70 children were admitted during the first term when the school opened. This was when the school building was smaller than at present.
The scholars were of course drawn from a large area, northwards from as far away as Rainscar Farm, and from Calton, Newfield Grange and Otterburn in the south. It is surprising how many of those children whose names appear on the register in that first term have descendents still living in this area to-day. It must also be remembered that many of those 70 children attending were only "half-timers" as attendance at school was not compulsory, there being no law to enforce it, and this being an agricultural area, seasons like haytime and lambing seasons reduced attendance considerably as farmers kept their sons at home to help.
Other children in the upper department worked half-time at the Scalegill silk mill or Airton mill and attended half days at school. It was not uncommon for scholars to leave school at 10 or 11 years of age to work full-time at these mills. During the first year 1874 a boy called William Carr, 12 years old, was admitted from Malham, but could only attend two hours each day from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. after which he had to deliver letters round Malham Moor. On Wednesday, 14th October 1874, 34 scholars asked leave for the following day which was Malham Sheep Fair, so few scholars did in fact attend next morning that the school was closed for the day.
Some days later a number of the older boys were questioned about their stained hands which it appeared impossible to clean. This had been caused by them assisting farmers with the "salving of sheep" a practice now replaced by sheep dipping in a bath. The meeting of the hounds on Malham Green when the hunts were taking place was another occasion when the school was almost empty.
The first heating system in the school was one of coal fires and stoves, and evidently left much to be desired. Smoke from these appliances was no small problem, and very often when school opened in the morning the temperature was only 30°F rising to 40°F in the afternoon, which necessitated children doing lessons with overcoats on in order to keep warm. Scholars were often in charge of stoking the fires. This proved very unsatisfactory when the girls were in charge. They frequently went out. This brought angry letters from parents, the problem eventually being brought to the notice of the Governors who decided to pay 4d per week to certain boys to carry out these duties.
Lighting too was rather poor; the original windows in the school were small and very high causing natural light to be scarce and only oil lamps provided artificial light. Many entries in the log book state that it was too dark to read or for girls to do sewing.
In November 1886 a Mr. Carr of Park House, Bordley Moor, wrote to the headmaster requesting that his children could leave school at 3-30 p.m. instead of 4 p.m. in order that they could walk the four miles home before dark. Conditions generally were difficult in mid winter and many children from outlying farms and houses ceased to attend during these worst months.
French and Latin were taught in those early days, extra fees being payable for these subjects. Mr. Walter Morrison called in frequently to hear the senior scholars read in French-on one occasion he had a French visitor with him and the entry states that he was well pleased with their knowledge and pronunciation.
Police constable Redfern of Kirkby Malham called at school one afternoon to say that a mad dog had gone by up towards Malham and asked the master to keep the children indoors until he called again. It was late in the evening before the children were allowed to go home-after the dog had been shot, but not before it had mauled and bitten 7 other dogs.
Rev. T. C. Henley was the vicar at Kirkby Malham Church when the school opened in 1874 and was on the board of Governors until he died in 1898. For practically all of those 24 years he acted as correspondent to the governors and took a very keen interest in all the work and activities of the school. After his death his wife made arrangements for a prize book-known as the "Henley" prize-to be presented every alternate year to the scholar gaining most marks for attendance and attainment.
To those scholars who were much less ambitious, and were more mischievously inclined the cane appears to have been their just reward. The theory to "Spare the rod and spoilt the child" was very much in evidence in those days in establishing discipline. Some rather unusual offences appear in the log book-a child of 8 chewing twist in school-heating red hot pokers in the stove to chase other children-stealing from dinner bags-kissing the girls often cost the boys two cuts in each hand, but it failed to stop the practice.
The Education Act of 1902 caused some concern to the school governors as it appeared they were to lose some control of the school and its endowments if the Act became law. The chairman, Mr. Walter Morrison, fought hard against the Authority of the Act insofar as it applied to Kirkby Malham school. Expert legal advice was sought and considerable correspondence with the Board of Education ensued. Eventually on 2nd December 1904 a Public Enquiry was held in the Church Hall, Kirkby Malham, heard by a barrister from London, Mr. C. B. M. Coore. The outcome was that after further consultation and discussion between the governors and Board of Education a new scheme of Management was drawn up which was satisfactory to both parties, this scheme being still in use to-day.
A considerable improvement was added to the school facilities when spring water from Malham was piped to the school in 1913. The cost of the scheme was £195 and the contractor was Mr. George W. Parker of Airton. It was not until 1925 that water toilets were installed replacing the pit type earth toilets provided when the school was built.
On 18th December 1921, Mr. Walter Morrison died aged 85 years. As already stated he had built this school and had been chairman of the governors for almost 50 years. Entries in the minute books refer to the stalwart work he had done in the interests of Education in the Dale and of his profound interest in all that concerned the welfare of the school.
For almost 90 years the school continued in the original buildings erected 1872- 1874 but certain changes in the Education Act 1944 regarding minimum requirements of accommodation meant that the governors had to make plans for extending the school buildings. These were carried out in 1960-61 at a cost of just over £7,000 and consisted of a new dining hall, also used as additional teaching area, new staff room and toilets and a new kitchen equipped for cooking dinners on the premises. These had hitherto been brought to the school in containers from Hellifield. More ground was also taken from Raw Riggs meadow adjoining the school yard as a playing field.
Yet again, due to increasing numbers of scholars, the centenary year sees the erection on the front green of a temporary classroom provided by the Education Authority, pending more permanent extensions being carried out by the Governors. The scheme also includes the provision of a turning area for the increasing number of cars which convey children to and from school each day, only half a mile in some cases, an example of the extent to which things have changed Since 100 years ago when children walked three or four miles regularly.
And so the work goes on. Numbers are increasing; an excellent staff are in charge of all work and activities in the school; and the smooth running, progress and expansion is a credit to all who are involved in its management.
As for the future-who knows? It is most likely that Mr. Walter Morrison would not recognise the present school as it was in his day-therefore it is more than likely that we should not recognise the present school one hundred years hence. Suffice to say, education must never stand still and Kirkby Malham school will be no exception to this concept.


His Girl Friday is an adaptation of Ben Hecht's & Charles MacArthur's classic American comedy of the 1920's "The Front Page" about a Chicago newspaper editor desperate to keep his best star [male] reporter on his paper by trying every trick in the book to stop him from marrying and leaving town. The play was later re-written as an even more successful film "His Girl Friday" where the journalist was now transformed into a woman, the editor's ex-wife adding a romantic element to the plot. John Guare has now combined and reworked these two plots for this modern production of "His Girl Friday", added a few new elements, and come up with a script full of witty, quick firing one-liners just like the two original works it is based on.
The two leading actors Alex Jennings as newspaper editor Walter Burns and Zoe Wanamaker as star journalist Hildy Johnson give great comic performances. Alex Jennings shines as the wise cracking, self-assured and charmingly mischievous editor, who whilst bantering that he will do anything for a story, is also concerned about getting to the truth, though thankfully he avoids wearing his journalistic heart on his sleeve, and so never comes across as sanctimonious. He lies, charms, flirts and cajoles with natural ease and fantastic comic timing. Zoe Wanamaker also excels as the feisty Hildy Johnson, who has a love hate relationship with her former husband and employer Walter Burns. Though she is tough, always one ahead of the gang of reporters who she competes with for the front-page story, and is willing to use force as an interview technique, she never ever loses her femininity. Zoe Wanamaker is amongst our best comedy actresses (though not only comedy) and she uses her looks of exasperation, her voice of disdain, and small physical gestures -such as the rolling of the eyes, or a scornful flip of the head- to excellent effect.
The supporting cast produce a host of cameo characters, such as David Ross as the incompetent corrupt Sheriff Hartman who surrounds himself with his cronies and Harry Towb, as the sleazy Mayor who is willing to break any law in order to swing the election in his favour. And Margaret Tyzack almost steals the show with her portrayal of Mrs Baldwin, the cantankerous mother-in-law to be.
The director Jack O'Brien keeps the show rushing along and we are inundated with one zany character after another without allowing the show to degenerate into slapstick farce.
Sadly, though I enjoyed the show I never felt I was watching a really great comedy. As good as the performances were by Zoe Wanamaker and Alex Jennings the show itself never quite fired on all cylinders.
MICHAEL BILLINGTON for THE GUARDIAN says, "A weird hybrid which survives chiefly as a vehicle for Alex Jennings and Zoe Wanamaker." IAN JOHNS for THE TIMES says, "Despite its lulls, there are enough big laughs to make this adaptation great fun." MICHAEL COVENEY for THE DAILY MAIL says, "A delightfully imperfect night out." NICHOLAS DE JONGH for THE EVENING STANDARD says, "I was deluged with wave upon wave of comic pleasure." SHERIDAN MORLEY for TELETEXT says, "Great performances from Zoe Wanamaker and Alex Jennings."

10-Year-Old Gives Birth After Complaining Of Stomachache At School
Lauren Briggs
A 10-year-old girl gave birth last Tuesday, hours after complaining that she had a stomachache. Neither the girl nor her family had any idea that she was pregnant, they say.
The girl reportedly had a horrible stomachache while she was in class. Eventually, teachers rushed her to the hospital, where doctors found that she was seven months pregnant and in the late stages of labor. She gave birth shortly after, reports the Mirror.
The birth went normally, without complications, even though the baby was born premature. The girl and her baby are still recovering in the hospital.
"The mother alleges that she, along with other family members, hadn't noticed, taking into consideration the child's small frame," Police Chief Captain Castro said.
After she gave birth, the young girl revealed to her mother that her 40-year-old stepfather abused her. The mother passed this information on to authorities, and the 10-year-old later told them that her stepfather threatened to kill her mother and brother if she came forward.
The stepfather, who had left the household, was arrested and reportedly confessed to raping the girl. Her mother told police that she started to struggle at school and became more introverted starting in October 2014. Authorities charged the stepfather with rape of a child and illegal possession of firearms.
The girl is lucky to have survived. According to Facts for Life, the younger the mother is, the higher the risk is that her pregnancy will cause complications. Girls who give birth before the age of 15 are five times more likely to die during childbirth than mothers over the age of 20.
Because extremely young mothers do not have a fully developed pelvis, pregnancy for them can cause various medical complications, such as eclampsia, premature labor, prolonged labor, obstructed labor, fistula, anemia, or death of the baby or mother.

Roughing It (The Early 70s)
Crumb and Dana attempt life and "free love" in a California cabin in the early '70s, and Robert expounds on the demise of underground comix.
(This article originally appeared in The Complete Crumb Comics - Volume 7 (1991, Fantagraphics)
The work in The Complete Crumb: Volume 7 was all done when I was 26-27 years old-still a punk, but I already felt like I was an old man… A veteran, a venerable elder of the thriving underground comix scene, the counter-culture revolutionary youth movement scene. A helluva lot of psychedelic drugs had passed through my battered brain cells… I'd smoked enough marijuana to fill a train car. Fame was old hat… I was now used to the phone ringing every five minutes. The thrill was gone. It was tiresome, having to listen to yet another fast-talking wheeler-dealer, having to talk to another journalist, another fan-boy. Man, I was OLD!
A CABIN IN THE SKY
I had a little cabin up in the mountains, three hours north of San Francisco. My first wife had taken that 10,000 bucks from Ralph Bakshi for the rights to use Fritz The Cat in his big animated movie, and made a down payment on this place in Mendocino County. The previous owner was a hippy jewelry maker who spent most of his time in San Francisco. His house in the country had been taken over by a bunch of young drop-outs who had no money. The bathtub was full of dirt. The walls were painted purple and orange. A big flag with a peace symbol waved from a pole in the front yard. Local teen-age rednecks in dune-buggies would drive by and throw their beer bottles at the flag, screaming curses.
When we informed the squatting hippies that we were going to buy the property they, of course, tried to welcome us into their happy family, waxing eloquently about how beautiful it was going to be, all of us living together. My wife had other ideas, the freeloaders would have to go. No ifs ands or buts. The idea of throwing a bunch of people out of a house so that we could move in was horrible to me… bad karma. I didn't particularly want to live with those people, but I certainly wanted nothing to do with kicking them out, either! I told Dana, let's just forget the whole thing and look for some other place to buy. No, her mind was made up. She liked this place and no spaced-out hippy bums were going to stand in her way. She could be hard as nails sometimes. She got our team of lawyers on the case right away. Those hippies were out of there in no time! Gone! Over the hill! Never heard from again! All very clean and efficient. Power and money and work, for me and my wife! The whole business deeply troubled me. Our retreat in the mountains was off to a bad start, and it never did settle down up there… it was an endless succession of crises, conflicts, psychotic flip-outs, guns going off, kicked in doors, car wrecks, fires, bad trips, smashed furniture, food fights, runaway cows, runaway horses, warring factions, chaos… anarchy… and lots and lots of dope smoking…
It was shortly after we moved onto this property that I became involved with Kathy Goodell (see my introduction in Complete Crumb #6) and Dana got herself a new boyfriend, Paul, who soon moved in with her in the big house. So then we each had our own domain on the place. Hers was the big house, mine the little cabin.
Hell, we were liberal, we were hip… the avant garde! Why couldn't we all still live together in harmony, in an "open" situation? What's to get uptight about? I liked her new boyfriend…he was an alright dude. My girlfriend(s) would come up, stay for a few days in the cabin. We all had big communal dinners together in the big house, and sat around smoking dope in the evenings. Somehow it didn't work out. Resentments built up until there was open hostility. I shoulda left that place for good way sooner than I did, but I couldn't "get it together", man. I was very passive. I allowed things to deteriorate badly. Besides, I didn't want to be completely cut off from my son, Jesse. I loved him and wanted to be with him, at least part of the time. I admit I was pretty much an irresponsible bum when it came to parental duties. Dana carried most of the burden, by far. That had a lot to do with her anger towards me. I was off running around with the hippy floozies, while she got stuck with all the work. That's how she saw it. She was right, I s'pose.
The cabin was your basic shack in the mountains, with a crudely built brick fireplace. I had all my collections in there -- my 78 records, old comics, old toys. That's where I worked, when I wasn't running off with hippy floozies. I spent a lot of time in San Francisco, and also made trips to L.A., New York, Chicago, etc, etc. and still managed to be amazingly prolific in this period… A regular one-man comic-book factory. I churned the stuff out. Now that I was famous, it was expected out of me. The world cried out with outstretched hands, "Give us comics! We want comics!"… so it seemed to me. All the small publishers of underground comics of that time pleaded with me to supply them with comics. They always sold well. I felt it was my sole responsibility to keep these several little companies in business. Isn't that what they call "co-dependency" now? I had a huge ego, I thought they'd all go under if I didn't keep feeding them R.Crumb comics on a regular basis. The whole world would come apart at the seams. Civilization would crumble, if I didn't keep those comics coming!
I'm afraid the consequence of this pathological hysteria was a decline in the quality of my work. My vision got blurred, distorted. I tried to maintain a high standard, but quantity became my main concern. Plus, it was getting harder and harder to concentrate. There was always this crowd of people hanging around, and the phone was always ringing. The pure, white-hot inspiration of '66-'67 was getting lost in the shuffle... oh well... I was very young after all… I wasn't so old as I thought I was… there was still plenty to learn…
COMICS AS COMPULSION
I have this generic memory of being in my cabin, sitting at my desk, a work in progress in front of me… A comic page half inked or something… but there's this group of people sitting around in there… three or four of them, lounging around the cabin, getting stoned… they pass me the joint… oh well, that's the end of working… now I had to relate, keep the ball rolling, be amusing, tell some funny anecdotes… they found me fascinating… a real character, the legendary R.Crumb. A lot of times we'd drink beer, too… I played some old records for them, tried to turn them on to America's great lost musical heritage. They could care. I couldn't bring myself to tell them I needed to work… ask them to leave… It might hurt their feelings… they were nice people… usually I liked them, and I wanted them to like me… I was flattered that they chose to hang out with me…. I wanted them to think I was the nicest guy in the world.
Eventually they'd drift off. Often I worked into the middle of the night, when I was finally alone, and everything was quiet. I'd work feverishly through the wee hours, and fall in my bed at dawn. My sketch-books of the period are all full of frantic, hurried attempts to come up with new ideas -- ANYTHING I could turn into comics… sorta pathetic…
I don't think it's all that bad, my work of this period… some of it holds up… though personally, I think the stuff I did in '67-'68 is stronger... more cohesive and whatnot. All the attention and flattery I was getting had a two-sided effect; It confirmed, on one hand, what I already knew -- that I was a great artist, destined for immortality and all like that. On the other hand, it plunged me into the grip of a paralyzing, crippling self-consciousness that for years became increasingly harder to push past whenever I took pen in hand. Eventually I struggled through this tangled briar patch of problems. I managed to get it all in perspective, finally, after years in which the work suffered from my confusion… most of the seventies, I'd say. If I hadn't come to terms with the fame thing I would've had to give up the whole comics thing, do something else. I was seriously contemplating getting out of this business in the mid-seventies. But then, I'm completely useless for any other kind of work. I have to draw comics or DIE!
THE RISE AND FALL OF THE COMIX EMPIRE
1970 -- the peak, the high-water mark of the hippy lifestyle as a popular fashion among the youth of America… The counter-culture "rebellion" had penetrated deep into every college campus and high school. Even the redneck kids were getting in on it. It looked liked too much fun to resist… all the loose sex and dope. And underground comics were right in there, an intrinsic part of the "scene", an accoutrement of the lifestyle. Kids got high and grooved on their lil pile of Zap Comix, got their yuks on Mr. Natural, the Checkered Demon and the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. We were heroes, man! Every college town had its head shop or two. Most of them sold underground comics. Im always meeting people who were in high school or college then who tell me what a significant part my comix played in their wild 'n crazy stoned out youth. They always ask me, "So, what are you doing nowadays?" they look surprised when I tell them I'm still doing "underground" comics. "Really?! Man, I haven't seen one a' those things for, like, fifteen years!" "It's a lot harder to find them now," I tell them, "You know, all the head shops were forced to close down… things are a lot more conservative… distribution is very limited now for this kinda stuff." "Oohh," they say. It's all news to them. "Even a lotta these comic book shops won't carry my comics. They're afraid of getting busted, it's a limited market anyway, why take the risk of going to jail for so little money?!" I end my speech by telling them that, well, even though the comics business is on such a small scale these past years, I'm still able to make a decent living from it, what with reprints of the old stuff, all the European translations, the good prices I get for original art. I'm content to keep doing these little comic books as long as I can. I enjoy the complete artistic freedom. I've had my own way for so long now, I can't stand to be told what to draw. I really balk at doing any commercial job in which I have to draw someone else's idea, or change something I did because some art director didn't like it… man, I HATE that! I'm the "underground"! I draw exactly whatever th' hell I want and they publish it, no questions asked… Who needs the big time?! They can keep their filthy money!
I think a lot of people, even former hippies, people who lived on the fringe and held those anti-establishment beliefs, have the impression that the whole 'sixties' magilla just kinda faded away, fizzled out, died of its own weariness and excessive foolishness. Which is not entirely true. There was organized, systematic, repressive action taken against every aspect of that outburst against "the system", including alternative print media, by the powers, agencies, institutions of the "corporate state". It is not paranoia, but the facts of history, to say these things. "They" didn't sit back and passively watch while Abbie Hoffman and Huey Newton strutted and fretted their hour upon the stage. They had their think tanks staying up nights plotting and scheming new techniques to squash, neutralize, co-opt this threat to everything they held dear. They constructed sophisticated strategies for instilling fear into the general population. You could watch it happening. All through the seventies and into the eighties, fear was a weapon the bastards used very effectively. Like, take f'r instance, the 1973 Supreme Court ruling saying that local communities could decide for themselves what would be considered "obscene", thereby unleashing vigorous forces of conservatism, right-wing Christians, etc., riding the wave of panic over "pornography". The pressure was on all "explicit" material. The mafia and other large scale disseminators were able to shield their stuff, but shopkeepers who carried underground comics were running scared. The business took a big nose dive, and never did recover. The "fad" was over. But yeah, sure, it was a sign of the times… it wasn't ONLY a government conspiracy… the "folks back home" were fed up… they wanted a crackdown on all this liberal-humanism-permissiveness crap!
It must be admitted, also, that circa 1970, those "UG" publishers like The Print Mint, Rip-Off Press, Last Gasp Eco-Funnies and others would publish anything that faintly resembled an underground comic, glutting the market with a multitude of unreadable, incoherent books, many of which are rare and valuable collectors items today. They behaved like any other business in the throes of a trend… pump it for all its worth 'til the bubble bursts. Among these badly executed comics were many embarrassing R.Crumb imitations. But the openness and willingness to print anything also allowed many young artists to see their work in print, an experience which can be highly motivating… some of these artists are still at it, and doing excellent work. In the more closed and less experimental atmosphere of this age, it is much harder, if not impossible, for young amateurish "underground" cartoonists to get published in anything above the level of Xerox.
So, what you're looking at here is "vintage" Crumb from what was really the "heyday" of underground comics, but not necessarily the "golden age". That just might be… only history will know for sure… but just might be… this very moment! Look SHARP!

chi…@yahoo.com WOrks well together in cleaning my face. Not too harsh.
gir…@yahoo.com I bought this because I love my huxley anti gravity cream. I have a dry acne prone skin and was very happy that the cream and the oil essence doesnt broke me out. So I bought this and hoping that it will work wonders, turn out to be meh. It's a descent cleanser, break down my eye make up and stuff but I dont really into the micellar water kinda thing. Using the remover and the cleansing gel strip away skin. It feels dry and thight. So i wont be repurchase considering it's not cheap for korean products. The good thing is that huxley always use a safe ingredients for their skin care, I just dont like the feeling after using this product.
I use the Cleansing Gel as a second cleanser at night, and the Cleansing Water in the morning when I wake up. Both products are intensely cleansing, while remaining nourishing; my skin feels clean, fresh, but not dehydrated. At the same time, the smell perks me up and makes me feel more awake!
As a side note, the aesthetic of these - c'mon, so pretty!
This cleansing duo had made my routine very easy. The duo smell like a fresh garden and after cleansing my skin does not feel irritated. Excellent for daily use.

An Open Letter to new Royals Owner John Sherman (from a fan and ticket holder)
Dear John Sherman and the new Royals Ownership Group,
Thank you for taking over our beloved Kansas City Royals. As you know, Mr. Sherman, this club means a lot to the community of Kansas City. If there was one thing we appreciate as a metro area, it's that previous owner David Glass, and even the founding owner, Ewing Marion Kauffman, made it a priority to keep the club in Kansas City. In this day and age where owners hold cities ransom when it comes to stadium costs and taxes and are ready to move if those demands are not met, we are glad that previous Royals owners made it clear that the Royals were not going anywhere, even before the magical runs of 2014 and 2015.
As you know, it's been some lean years since 2015, when the Royals won their second World Series in club history. As a supportive and realistic Royals fan, we understand that not every season can be like 2015 or even 2014. What happened was a glorious mix of young talent maturing into fruition, smart managing, and timely roster tinkering that produced some of the best baseball the area has ever seen at Kauffman Stadium. We understand that with one of the smallest markets in Major League Baseball, that the Royals are not the Yankees or Red Sox, and that we have to learn to let players go in free agency, even if we wish they would not. It was tough to see such key franchise figures like Eric Hosmer, Lorenzo Cain, and Mike Moustakas leave Kansas City, but we are grateful that they stayed Royals as long as they did, and produced some of the greatest sporting moments this town has ever seen.
However, as a new owner, you know the situation you're getting into and the challenges you and your ownership group will face. You wouldn't buy the club for $1.2 billion if you didn't have all your ducks in a row. You know that total attendance has dropped over 800,000 from 2017 to 2019, and home games at the K often ended up being hot spots for opposing fans, especially those from rivals clubs in the AL Central and from St. Louis. You know that the Royals are losing share to the Chiefs not just during the August and September months when Training Camp is starting (which is to be expected in any MLB city that has a NFL team), but even in the dog days of summer, where baseball should be the primary focus of the city. You know that fans are not totally thrilled with the hiring of former Cardinals manager Mike Matheny, and feel Dayton Moore may have run his course after 14 years as general manager. These are issues and challenges that need to be addressed as soon as this Winter if the Royals want to recapture the city like they did from 2014-2017, when the club was competitive.
And I say this not just as a Kansas City resident and Royals blogger, but also as a ticket holder, as I decided to become a member of "The Keep" this year. Even though I don't make the greatest salary as a high school educator, I am making this commitment because I love the game of baseball and love the Royals more than any sports team in Kansas City. They are my team through and through, and I will cheer for this club in both good and bad. However, there are three things that I (and I think many fans as well) would like to see in 2020.
Make a game at the K more affordable
In 2019, according to Statista.com, the average ticket price for a Royals game was $65. That price put the Royals in the middle of the league, as it was higher than 16 other clubs in baseball. While I understand the Royals had to adjust prices due to the club spending more in player salary over the years after a string of competitiveness, a ticket price of $65 in this market is just far too high, especially after back to back 100 loss seasons. And it's not just tickets that is the problem, doing something about the high price of concessions would also go a long way as well (which I have highlighted before on a previous incarnation of this blog).
It should be a priority for you, Mr. Sherman, that ticket prices decrease substantially in the next couple of years. Kauffman Stadium seeing a little over 1.4 million fans over the course of a season, and an average attendance of 18,267 should be a wake up call that fans do not like coming to the ballpark under the current price structure. Yes, you could credit the lackluster team as a primary reason for the dwindling in attendance to an extent. However, Detroit, Seattle, Pittsburgh, and San Diego were also last place teams in their division, and they had considerably better attendance numbers than us both on a total and average end. Thus, the Royals can only credit record as an excuse for so long.
Back in 2016 and maybe 2017, those ticket prices would have made sense. The club was competitive, and the aura from 2015 was still strong. That is gone now, and fans need reason to go the ballpark. They need reasons to come to the K on a weekday night and not just on the weekends or for Buck Night on Fridays. Lowering the ticket prices and some of the concession prices would go a long way to showing that the Royals are doing what they can to bring fans back to the K, and make it full again. It's sad to go to games at the K and half of the fans are wearing opposing colors. Hopefully making the experience more affordable could help bring in more people wearing blue and white at the K on game day.
Focus on a youth movement in the organization
From 2014-2017, the initiative was to win now. However, in 2018 and 2019, remnants of that plan colored the team, even though it was clear a rebuild with young talent was in order. Lucas Duda was signed to be a DH/1B. Billy Hamiltion was preferred over Brian Goodwin, who was a more cost-controlled and cheaper option than Hamilton, a one-year flier. Chris Owings for a brief period of time was preferred as the Royals' utility infielder, when it was obvious that the Royals had better options in the minors like Nicky Lopez.
I, along with many other Royals fans, understand that payroll will likely decrease this year for a third-straight season. That is okay, Mr. Sherman. This club needs to exercise the fiscal responsibility and front office shrewdness that helped build those competitive Royals teams from 2013-2017. Money does not need to be wasted on Jason Hammel or Ian Kennedy or Brandon Moss in free agency. The Royals need to look for more affordable options, and thankfully, the Royals could do that within their own system.
Lopez has a shot to be a solid second-baseman both offensively and defensively for years to come. O'Hearn deserves one more shot to see if he can finally be more than just a three-true-outcomes guy. Brett Phillips and Bubba Starling need time to prove that they can be regular outfielders at the Major League level, as they have showed flashes of competency and even brilliance during their time here in Kansas City. The rotation is chock full of talent in the minors, but the club needs Brad Keller to help mentor and lead the way for the Brady Singer's and Daniel Lynch's when they arrive to Kansas City.
The cupboard is not bare, but it needs chances and needs development. And the organization as a whole needs that focus. The minor league system has to be a priority on day one of your ownership. Kansas City is a small-market club, but so are the Cardinals. They built a winner through a solid minor league system that drafted, signed, and developed their talent in the minor leagues. The Royals have the potential to do that too. The "Royals Way" could measure up to the "Cardinals Way" sooner than we think, and then, we can have an I-70 Rivalry to really be proud of.
But that needs to happen now. The system needs to grow, and the young guys need their shots to prove what they can do at the Major League level. The young guys are key for the Royals turning it around, and they need your support, Mr. Sherman. It's on Matheny to create that clubhouse culture where young guys are valued, and it's up to Moore and his team to continue to stock and develop talent in the Royals system. Royals fans gravitate toward players that grew up in professional baseball as Royals. It's why Royals fans have embraced Moose, Hos, Salvy, and Gordo…they were drafted and developed by the Royals and succeeded at the big league level…as Royals. Now, it's time for the Royals to find that next crop.
Because once they arrive, I guarantee you, Mr. Sherman, Royals fans will get behind this club again with the enthusiasm of those seasons from 2014-2017.
We don't need a downtown stadium…just make it easier to get to the K
I know there is a lot of talk about getting a downtown stadium to help spark interest in getting people to come to the K on a weekday night. I get it. I grew up in Northern California, and I have seen at the Triple-A level (Sacramento Rivercats' Raley Field) and Major League level (San Francisco Giants' Oracle Park) how a downtown stadium benefits the club. I know how going to those games are experiences and how easy it is to enjoy the game without dealing with the hassle of a commute or parking.
However, I understand how expensive and daunting a downtown stadium project is. And I also understand how feelings on a civic level can get hurt when it comes to figuring out how to pay for that stadium. Just take a look at Oakland, who are isolating some of the best and most loyal fans in baseball because the club is trying to hold the city hostage for a new stadium in downtown Oakland. It would be a shame that a similar situation could arise in KC, where let's face it, our civic government can be hot and cold with certain projects.
Instead of trying to build a whole new stadium downtown, Mr. Sherman, the Royals should push for a better transit system to and from Kauffman Stadium. Instead of a streetcar that goes downtown, let's push for a light rail that goes from Downtown KC to Kauffman instead. Not only would it make transportation easier on the weeknight for the younger crowd that would like to have a few "pops" before the game, but it would also help bring in people who want to enjoy the Downtown KC night life before or after a game. Furthermore, the whole city could benefit, as it could connect to other cities and communities in the metro, which would give it even more utility as a civic project.
Kauffman is a wonderful place to watch a baseball game. And it still holds up even in this current day and age of modern "downtown" stadiums. But I agree that we need to involve "the City" of KC a little bit more in order to bring more people the K, especially on a weeknight. A light rail system, not a new stadium, would be a step in the right direction, and could also be a better long-term and financial civic project as well for all parties involved.
I hope you have given my ideas some thought, Mr. Sherman. As a Royals fan and ticket holder, I am hopeful and excited for what you will bring to this great Royals club and organization. I, as well as Royals fans everywhere, cannot wait for 2020 Spring Training to start and are rooting for this club to improve next season!

What motivates people? Why do they behave as they do? For that matter, why do people do anything at all? Questions like these have persisted over 100 years of psychology despite decades upon decades of research to answer them. Waves of academic thinking have addressed these issues, with each new school of thought providing different answers, at least in form if not in function. In our brief overview of motivation theory, we will emphasize commonalities in theory rather than their differences. We will then discuss evolutionary theory as an overarching, modern model of motivation — specifically, the motivations to promote one's survival and to be reproductively fit in a Darwinian sense. This discussion of evolutionary theory will be applied to human motivation and to the many ways in which people — such as ourselves — adapt in a complex world.

Q: ODBC DB2 data fetch error (out of memory error) I have connected ODBC to remote DB2 successfully, I'm able to insert data in a table but when fetching the data I'm getting PHP Fatal error:  Out of memory (allocated 2097152) (tried to allocate 206158430219 bytes) error.
 i'm using, ubuntu 18, DB2 DSDrive fixpack 10, unixodbc v 2.3.4 , php v 7.2
i tested unixODBC using isql -v  , i'm able to fetch the data, but i'm only getting the problem when fetching using php script
I created another db2 instance and tried but I'm getting the same error
i tried to set the memory limit from 128M to 200M,in php.ini, still not worked
$conn = odbc_connect( $conn_string, "", "" );
if( $conn )
{
    echo "Connection succeeded.";
    $sql = "insert into testsam values('testname',20,'male');";
    $rs = odbc_exec($conn,$sql); // here i'm getting problem while using select * from testsam
    echo "

";
    echo "User Name $rs
";
    #while (odbc_fetch_row($rs)){
    #   $user = odbc_result($rs,"NAME");
    #   print_r($user);
    #}
    if($rs){
        echo "data fetched";
    }
    odbc_close($conn);
    //echo "

    # Disconnect

    #odbc_close( $conn );
}
