In her newest book, bestselling author and founder of Simplified® Emily Ley brings a revolutionary exploration of how to live a life of more in a world that often overwhelms to the point of burnout. Emily empathizes with readers in the throes of exhaustion and provides tools for nourishing their spirits and achieving a life where less becomes more.
Statistics don't lie. People today are more fatigued, burned out, and overwhelmed than ever. Smartphones constantly ping and alert and demand our attention. And social media can eat up hours of our days with mindless scrolling and tapping while leaving many feeling empty and lonely. Add to that family commitments, work that is accessible around the clock, and overscheduling, and you have a life that can feel unmanageable and frantic . . . even running on empty.
Getting to more might require some outside-the-box changes, some unraveling of the patterns readers have adopted, some reworking of the day-to-day so that they can build a life based on their core values instead of slipping into a life dictated by society or what's "normal." Because we weren't made for normal. We were made for more—for a life of fullness, dreaming, and lasting joy.
Emily Ley is the founder of Simplified®, a brand of planners and organizational tools for busy women. Emily has been featured in Forbes, Family Circle, Better Homes and Gardens, Glamour, and Good Housekeeping.

George Nicholas Kontos (born June 12, 1985) is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the New York Yankees, San Francisco Giants, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Cleveland Indians. Prior to playing professionally, he played college baseball at Northwestern University. He bats and throws right-handed.

Amateur career
Kontos attended Niles West High School in Skokie, Illinois, where he was named the high school baseball player of the year in Illinois in 2003. He also lettered in golf and basketball.

Kontos attended Northwestern University as an economics major, where he played for the Northwestern Wildcats baseball team in the Big Ten Conference. In 2005, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Harwich Mariners of the Cape Cod Baseball League. The New York Yankees selected Kontos in the fifth round of the 2006 Major League Baseball draft after his junior year.

Professional career

Minor Leagues
Kontos signed with the Yankees after his college career and played for the Staten Island Yankees of the Class A-Short Season New York–Penn League in 2006, winning the league championship. With a 7–3 win–loss record, 2.64 ERA, and 82 strikeouts in 78 innings pitched, Baseball America named Kontos a Short-Season All-Star. He pitched for the Tampa Yankees of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League in 2007 and the Trenton Thunder of the Class AA Eastern League in 2008. After starting the 2009 season with Trenton, he was promoted to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees of the Class AAA International League.

After experiencing tightness in his pitching arm in June 2009, Kontos went on the disabled list in what he thought was a precautionary measure. Magnetic resonance imaging diagnosed a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow, which required Tommy John surgery, forcing him to miss the rest of the season. Returning to action in 2010 after a ten-month recovery, Kontos shifted into a relief pitcher. That season, he pitched for Tampa, Trenton, and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. After the 2010 season, the Yankees opted not to protect Kontos on their 40-man roster. Consequently, he was selected by the San Diego Padres from the Yankees in the Rule 5 draft that offseason. After making three appearances for the Padres during spring training in 2011, he was returned to the Yankees prior to the regular season.

Kontos began his 2011 minor league season with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he pitched to a 4–4 win–loss record and a 2.64 ERA in 40 appearances.

New York Yankees (2011)
Kontos made his major league debut on September 10, 2011 against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Appearing in seven games for the Yankees, Kontos pitched to a 3.00 ERA in six innings, while striking out six batters. Kontos was also part of the Yankees postseason roster until the Yankees lost to the Detroit Tigers in the 2011 ALDS.

San Francisco Giants (2012–2017)
Due in part to a back injury suffered by Yankees catcher Austin Romine, the Yankees traded Kontos to the San Francisco Giants in exchange for catcher Chris Stewart before the start of the 2012 season. He began the season with the Fresno Grizzlies of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League. After starting the season with a 2–0 win–loss record and a 1.71 ERA in 23 appearances, the Giants promoted him to the major leagues on June 10. Through August 14, he pitched to a 2.33 ERA and a 1.15 walks plus hits per innings pitched (WHIP) ratio in 26 games, becoming a reliable member of the Giants bullpen. Kontos got his first major league win in relief of Barry Zito, successfully recording 7 outs without allowing a baserunner. The Giants went on to win the game 6–4 against the Astros. Kontos entered the postseason for a second straight season and eventually won the 2012 World Series with the Giants in a four-game sweep of the Detroit Tigers.

In 2013, Kontos was named to the opening-day 25-man roster. On June 11, 2013, Kontos was ejected for the first time in his Major League career after hitting Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen with a pitch. Kontos was suspended three games by the commissioner's office and optioned to Triple-A Fresno on June 12. Kontos was recalled to the majors on June 24. On July 22, Kontos threw a career-high 63 pitches in an 11–0 loss to the Cincinnati Reds that helped save the Giants' bullpen before a doubleheader the following day. Kontos was optioned back to Triple-A on July 23 and wasn't recalled until rosters expanded in September. On September 20, 2013, Kontos achieved notoriety as he surrendered Alex Rodriguez's 24th career grand slam that broke the record formerly held by Lou Gehrig. For the 2013 season, Kontos made 52 relief appearances, pitching  innings with a 2–2 record and 4.39 ERA.

In 2014, Kontos started the season in Triple-A Fresno. During the season, he was called up to the Majors and sent back to Fresno four times. In 24 games with the Giants, he pitched  innings with 27 strikeouts, a 4–0 record, and 2.88 ERA. He was left off the postseason roster.

Kontos was named to the Giants' opening-day roster for 2015. Through July 11, Kontos stranded all 25 base runners he inherited on the season. Kontos appeared in a career-high 73 games, recording a career-best 0.941 WHIP and holding opponents to a .159 average with runners in scoring position, third-best in the Majors. In 2015, Kontos pitched  innings, with 44 strikeouts, a 4–4 record, and 2.33 ERA.

On February 1, 2016, Kontos agreed to a one-year, $1.15 million contract with the San Francisco Giants, avoiding arbitration. After appearing in eight of the Giants' first 13 games of the 2016 season, Kontos went on the disabled list with a strained flexor.  In 57 games, Kontos pitched  innings with 35 strikeouts and a 2.53 ERA.

In 2017, Kontos and the Giants agreed to a one-year, $1.75 million contract, avoiding arbitration.

Pittsburgh Pirates (2017–2018)
Kontos was claimed on waivers by the Pittsburgh Pirates on August 5, 2017. For the last month of the season, he posted a 1.84 ERA in 15 games. He was designated for assignment on May 25, 2018, and later released from the organization on May 28.

Cleveland Indians
On June 2, 2018, Kontos signed a minor league contract with the Cleveland Indians. The Indians purchased Kontos' contract on June 19, 2018. Kontos was designated for assignment on July 6, 2018.

Second Stint with the New York Yankees
On August 4, 2018, Kontos was traded to the New York Yankees for cash considerations. The Yankees assigned Kontos to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He was promoted to the major leagues on August 13, 2018. The Yankees designated Kontos for assignment on August 15, 2018. He declared free agency on October 5, 2018.

Chicago Cubs
On January 25, 2019, Kontos signed a minor league contract with the Chicago Cubs. He was released on April 14, 2019.

Long Island Ducks
On May 10, 2019, Kontos signed with the Long Island Ducks of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball.

Washington Nationals
On May 25, 2019, Kontos had his contract purchased by the Washington Nationals and was assigned to the Triple-A Fresno Grizzlies. He was released on August 28, 2019.

Retirement
Kontos announced his retirement from professional baseball on July 20, 2020. He joined NBC Sports Bay Area as a Giants pre- and postgame analyst for the 2020 season.

Personal life
Kontos' younger brother, Chris, played on a travelling baseball team, known as the Renegades, that was coached by Steve Bartman and his second cousin Tony.

The Return of Moriarty
Sherlock's biggest nemesis is always lurking around a corner...
By Otto Penzler
One element of the genius of Arthur Conan Doyle was his ability to create and maintain a reasonable level of credibility in the stories he wrote about Sherlock Holmes.
I refer to Doyle as the author of the stories merely in keeping with the common misconception of their authorship. Of course, Dr. Watson actually wrote the majority of tales, as all true Holmes aficionados know. Any moderately bright six-year-old child can attest to this truth by pointing to the first page of the first adventure, A Study in Scarlet, in which it is clearly stated, right there in black and white, that the publication is a reprint from the reminiscences of John H. Watson, M.D., late of the Army Medical Department. Rather than restate the obvious and dredge out the abundant evidence in support of Watson's position as the true biographer of Holmes' affairs, already recorded and proven on innumerable occasions elsewhere, I'll merely allow Doyle the position of author in order to stay on subject.
In that spirit, I will also permit the acceptance of the preposterous notion that the stories, and the characters that inhabit them, are fictional. It is entirely likely that Watson—I mean, Doyle—embellished some tales, added characters to move the plot along, and invented dialogue to add color. With numerous full-length biographies having been written about Holmes, and with George Bernard Shaw's accurate statement that Holmes was one of the three most famous people who ever lived, along with Jesus Christ and Muhammad, the notion of him being no more than the figment of a mere mortal's imagination is hardly worth arguing.
Related: David Stuart Davies: My Life with Sherlock
The 56 short stories and four novels that comprise the entire Holmes canon (not including the thousands of parodies and pastiches written by others) seem so believable because Doyle did not use hyperbole or exaggeration to describe either Holmes or his adversaries. While Holmes' ability to bend a poker with his bare hands is impressive, it is not Herculean, and his deductive powers, although jaw-dropping at first glance, are easily explained, as he himself does on numerous occasions to the delight and amazement of his amanuensis and friend, Watson—as well as to readers.
Arguably the greatest suspense novel of the 20th century is Red Dragon by Thomas Harris. In it, he introduces perhaps the most memorable fictional villain of the century, Hannibal Lecter. Hannibal (chillingly referred to as the cannibal) is so evil, so utterly malignant, that he cannot be called a sociopath or a psychopath. As the FBI agent Clarissa Starling says, "There is no word to describe what he is." Lecter is not the primary character in Red Dragon and he is on stage only briefly, but the scenes in which he appears resonate for years after encountering them. In the next novel by Harris, The Silence of the Lambs, Lecter shows up again, in a somewhat enhanced role, in another masterpiece of terror.

However, instead of offering that blazing nightmare in small doses, Harris overreached in his third book, Hannibal, making the scholarly gentleman and gourmet the center of attention, allowing him to indulge in scenes of such pornographic violence that he became far less believable and frightening—much as the rubber shark in Jaws became less terrifying as it received more and more time on the screen. Hannibal was reduced to a parody of himself, a cartoon creature of no literary worth whatsoever.
Doyle must somehow have understood the value of restraint: Moriarty appears in only two cases and is mentioned in a third. The greatest, most inspired and memorable characters in the canon, aside from Holmes and Watson, are Mycroft Holmes and Professor Moriarty. Mycroft, too, appears in only two cases, leaving Sherlockians everywhere frustrated that there are no further chronicles of Sherlock's older, smarter brother.
Moriarty, previously unmentioned in the 23 stories and two novels in which Holmes and Watson battled criminals of all kinds, makes his debut in "The Final Problem," in which he is described as the arch-villain behind "half that is evil and … nearly all that is undetected" in London.

"He sits motionless," Doyle writes, "like a spider in the center of its web, but that web has a thousand radiations, and he knows well every quiver of each of them. He does little himself. He only plans. But his agents are numerous and splendidly organized. Is there a crime to be done, a paper to be abstracted, we will say, a house to be rifled, a man to be removed—the word is passed to the professor, the matter is organized and carried out."
Moriarty is a professor of mathematics who, at the age of 21, "wrote a treatise upon the binomial theorem which has had a European vogue," Holmes tells Watson, referring to a significant algebraic principle. He also produced a more ominous volume, The Dynamics of an Asteroid, which may be an arcane, challenging study of atomic energy or, possibly, space travel.
Curiously, it seems that the diabolical professor has a brother with the same first name—James—who is a station-master in the west of England.

"The Final Problem" was published in December 1893. Knowing that Holmes is the only serious adversary he has in London or, indeed, anywhere in the world, Moriarty has tracked the detective to his rooms at 221B Baker Street with the intention of killing him. Holmes flees with Moriarty in pursuit and they finally meet in Switzerland at the edge of the Reichenbach Falls, where these two titans of intellect engage in a physical tussle that apparently sends them both over the edge to their doom.
It has been reported, perhaps accurately, that young men in England wore black armbands during the winter in mourning for the fallen hero. As Doyle later stated, "If I had killed a real man I could not have received more vituperative letters than those which poured in upon me." Doyle's plan was to be rid of Holmes so that he could devote himself to writing books and stories that he regarded as more worthwhile.

Bowing to relentless public pressure, Holmes returned in 1901 in the first magazine installment of The Hound of the Baskervilles, an event of such magnitude that people lined up at newspaper kiosks awaiting each monthly continuation of the novel. Hanging on to his resistance to continuing the Holmes saga, Doyle set the time of The Hound prior to when Holmes plunged over the precipice and into the falls. It was no use. The fall of 1903 (September in America, October in England) saw the publication of "The Adventure of the Empty House," in which Holmes explained to Watson that, although Moriarty did plunge to his death, Holmes was fortunate enough to land on a ledge a few feet from the top, uninjured. However, knowing that Moriarty's henchmen were seeking him, he fled the country under the name Sigerson, visiting the "head" Lama in Tibet, among other adventures.
Moriarty is not heard from again until The Valley of Fear in 1914, where he is successful both in perpetrating a crime and eluding capture. In the ensuing chronicles, neither Holmes nor Watson ever refers to him again.
Drawing by Sidney Paget of Holmes and Moriarty struggling at the Reichenbach Falls
A fortuitous coincidence brought the diabolical professor to the attention of one of the 20th century's greatest thriller writers, John Gardner. As he explains in his prefatory remarks, he was presented with a collection of journals that, by all appearance, were written in code by Moriarty himself. Once deciphered, these diaries served as the factual basis for a series of adventures that Gardner felt were more effective as novels rather than as simply transcribed journals.
When the first of the Moriarty novels was published by Gardner in 1974, his reputation rested mainly on a series of very successful books he had written about a spy named Boysie Oakes, a bumbler and coward who wanted no part of the nastiness of his profession. The first of these humorous exploits, the ironically titled The Liquidator, was published in 1964 and filmed the following year with Rod Taylor as Oates, Trevor Howard, the Intelligence Chief, as his boss, and Jill St. John as the chief's secretary. An obvious spoof of the James Bond novels and films, Oates lives a grand lifestyle with the code name "L" and the job of being licensed to kill enemies of Great Britain. In order to keep his position, he hires a professional assassin to carry out his assignments. The series ran for six additional novels.

It was with the creation of "Big Herbie" Kruger, however, that Gardner's great power as a novelist came to the forefront. The initial trilogy featuring the senior staffer in British Intelligence, The Nostradamus Traitor (1979), The Garden of Weapons (1980), and The Quiet Dogs (1982), ranks with John le Carre's Karla novels as the greatest espionage trilogy of all time. I often have been quoted that the under-appreciated middle volume, The Garden of Weapons, is one of the half-dozen greatest spy novels ever written. The author liked to refer to the third book, The Quiet Dogs, as "Hush Puppies."
Kruger also plays a major role in two books in Gardner's "Secret" trilogy, the saga of one family's involvement in British Intelligence from its founding in 1910 to the present time, as well as in the mammoth 1993 novel, Maestro, which chronicles the espionage history of the titular figure from the time of the Nazis through the Cold War.
Mainly famous as a writer of espionage fiction, the Moriarty character held a special place in Gardner's heart. It was conceived as a trilogy, but only The Return of Moriarty in 1974 and The Revenge of Moriarty in 1975 were published when a dispute with his publisher led him to drop the idea of writing the third book.
Related: Jeremy Brett: The Real Sherlock Holmes
As both a publisher and a friend of the author, I tried for many years to convince him that the third volume would be welcome, both by me and by Sherlock Holmes aficionados around the world, as the first two books were generally lauded as the best pastiches of their kind in the long history of Sherlockian literature. It was not to be until, finally, in 2006, after three decades of my cajoling, arguing, and attempted bribery, he agreed to write the third book. This adventure, titled simply Moriarty, was not, however, the planned finale to the trilogy. That book was to have been titled The Revolt of Moriarty, with Moriarty joining forces with Trotsky as they fomented revolution in Russia. It was the book he planned to write next when he died of a sudden heart attack in 2007. He did not live to see Moriarty published a few months later.
It seems that Moriarty cannot be killed, any more than Holmes could. New works by Anthony Horowitz, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and others continue the nefarious saga.
Otto Penzler is the founder of the Mysterious Press (1975), a distinguished publisher of literary crime fiction whose imprint is now associated with Grove/Atlantic, Mysterious Press.com (2011), an electronic-book publishing company associated with Open Road Integrated Media, and New York City's Mysterious Bookshop (1979). He has won two Edgars, for the Encyclopedia of Mystery and Detection (1977) and The Lineup (2010). He has edited more than 50 anthologies and written extensively about mystery fiction.

Q: Under what conditions is a flash video fallback required? If you prepare both a mp4 and ogv video formats, under what conditions will the video still be unviewable?

A: The <video> element works only in HTML5 browsers, so Flash will be required for IE6-8.
http://caniuse.com/#feat=video
Video won't be playable at all in pre-HTML5 browsers that don't have recent Flash (10 or later) installed, since older Flash versions didn't support H.264 codec. That includes featurephones with Flash Lite.
You also need to be careful about exact codec you use in the MP4 file, since some devices can only play H.264 baseline profile, and may not support more advanced H.264 profiles.

Minute MBA: An Interview With Emily Stewart
Twice, in the last few months, film makers have reached out to me to share their movies and to see if I'd like to share them with my readers. In both cases, it was unsolicited and in both cases it was a very pleasant surprise. We've already talked about the excellent micro-noir, Burn, and now, it's the turn of Emily Stewart of Minute MBA. She sent me a link to her short video about the economic impact of the Lord of the Rings series.
I watched it.
It's brilliant.
To get such a huge amount of information over graphically with such humour and wit and enthusiasm is a hell of a thing to manage and when I saw some of the other stuff they've been doing, I realized just how powerful an educational tool this is. So I contacted Emily to ask if she'd be up for an interview to talk about the project a little bit. She agreed, and here it is:
Tell us a little about Minute MBA?
The Minute MBA series, sponsored by OnlineMBA, focuses on anything business or money related. As far as the video team goes, the team itself consists of a small group of 5 rather, unique individuals who share a vision of using videos to tell a story/lesson.
What led you and your team to make a One Minute MBA video?
We were inspired to create a series that enhanced interesting business knowledge through a visual experience. You can learn more about our team via our Vimeo section.
What led you to look at the Lord of the Rings trilogy?
As avid fans of the LOTR trilogy, we thought it would be really interesting to look at the franchise from a business perspective.
There's some incredible numbers thrown around in there, especially as you openly admit you're being a little conservative. What's the bracket for the total sales of the books?
For book sales, LOTR is listed at 150,000,000 (http://publishingperspectives.com/2010/09/top-25-bestselling-books-of-all-time/). But note, The Hobbit is estimated at over 100,000,000 by itself and we aren't counting used books.
What do you think has led to the LOTR movies being so successful?
As far as the success behind the LOTR movies, I think it all started with Peter Jackson's ability to understand how to translate these books and adapt them as movies. In other words, while he managed to stay faithful to the original novels, his priority was making sure the story translated well as a film (as opposed to just trying to stay absolutely true to the books). Beyond that, once you combine popularity of the series, and the high production value, it made for a wonderful adaptation that both long-time fans and new audiences could enjoy.
Have you seen The Hobbit yet? If so what did you think?
While I think it captured a lot of the playfulness and light-heartedness of the original books, I was curious as to why they chose to make it a three-part film series. Not sure if I'm completely on board with that idea as I fear it might unnecessarily cause it to be drawn out longer than it should be (as a film, at least). However, all in all I was content with the first movie – I was particularly amazed at Gollum's facial expressions in this one and the overall advancement of CG tech since the LOTR films.
Who's doing the drawing? How many takes did it take?
The drawings in our video were done by the talented Rosie Heffernan, and it took us about 3-5 takes to film the entire thing!
What's been the video you're proudest of to date?
Beyond our LOTR video, I think one of the cooler ones we did was a bit on how to design like Apple:
What's next for Minute MBA?
As for what's next, we eventually want to be able to take all sorts of data and strive to become a trusted source that not only speaks on business related topics, but on real things that people care about and can relate to in some way. We're not completely there yet, but we'd like to think we're moving in that direction.
This is the Minute MBA Vimeo page
Thanks, not only for the interview, Emily, but for sharing the video with me. This is the sort of thing I love. Short films focus creativity, force you to adapt and over come obstacles and it's fascinating and, actually, really life affirming to see. Each of the film makers I've talked to so far works on shoestring budgets and does incredible work, and it's an honor to be able to talk to them.
So here it is: I'm a good critic, a good interviewer and I have at least some audience here thanks to Pseudopod if nothing else. If you are a short, or long-form filmmaker, get in contact with me at either alasdairstuart@gmail.com or @AlasdairStuart on Twitter. I can't promise to like everything I'm sent but I can promise to give you exactly the same sort of chance to talk about your work Emily, and Jamie at Redshirt, Miles at MilesTone and Jerry have all had. So get in touch. Show me your movie. See what happens.

It was about the fourth day of the first real cold stretch of the winter – still the first week of January. It was the time of year when, each day, I counted the seconds at sundown to try to verify if the days really were indeed getting longer.
I know the calendar shows it, and science claims it, but it somehow seems to me the number of daylight minutes and seconds don't really increase until about the first week in June – a couple of weeks before the days definitely become markedly shorter. I don't know how to explain the phenomenon, but that's how it is in my world.
Rarely is there enough daylight in a 24-hour period for me to get all the fences fixed, the gates closed, the critters fed, and the hatches battened down. My obvious lack of efficiency is enormously magnified during that season when the long shadows make their appearance at quarter after three.
It was in this particular frame of mind I found myself when, as I was breaking ice in the bull pasture, I discovered one of the bulls had crippled himself with an 8-inch gash up the side of his left front leg. My guess was he'd gotten into some scrape with one of his fellow brawny, brainless buddies. No matter they'd been together since they were sorted from the cows three months earlier. I'm sure there was a good reason. Just like there's a logical reason for anything a 17-year-old boy does.
The bull pasture is a 320-acre piece, crisscrossed by several draws and covered by acres of fairly impressive sagebrush, some of it 6 or 7 feet tall. I feed the bulls in the bare corner by the stackyard next to the road. The water is in an opposite corner, nearly half-a-mile away. It would be a pretty tall order for the injured feller to trail across the frozen ground, through the snow, brush and rocks between the feed and water every day. I knew I'd have to rescue him if I held any hope, at all, of his recovering in time for breeding season the next spring.
While gathering one lame bull, loading him in a trailer and hauling him 3 miles may seem like a simple task, it added one more chore to an already too-short day. My youngest son, who was home between semesters, would be heading back to school in two days, and I had pretty much scheduled the few remaining daylight hours down to the minute, with chores that required his help. I didn't have time for this interruption.
By the time we caught and saddled horses, dug the trailer out of the snowdrift created by the relentless southern Idaho wind and gathered and loaded the bull, it would most likely be close to two extra hours, for which I had not planned.
There was a potential, albeit risky, option that could possibly spare us an hour. If we cut the time required to catch, saddle and haul the horses out of the equation, we could possibly gain 45 minutes or so. Did I dare take that chance? The bull was pretty sore and not at his most nimble self. If we could find him in the open, with a four-wheeler and a pickup, we could perhaps maneuver him down to the gate where, with the help of a couple portable panels, we'd slip the old boy right into the trailer.
On the other hand, if Mr. Toro wished to be uncooperative, this potentially time-saving, motorized plan could easily blow up in my face, in which case, we'd still have to use the horses to gather and load him, which would double the time requirement rather than split it in half. There was another risk. What if the neighbors saw us?
Oh, the horror of the thought. My status as a Top Hand was at stake, and my dream of ever becoming a Super-Puncher could be shattered like ice on the water trough if I was seen using farmer methods in the heart of buckaroo country.
The 15-degree temperatures and the thought of feeding an hour after dark convinced me to roll the dice. The ponies could have the day off. The cowboy gods looked the other way as we found the bull out in the open and in 15 minutes had him unloaded at the home place. He never went into stupid mode and was more than willing to hop in the trailer.
Even though it was in the middle of the day, the neighbors were none the wiser. And I'll be honest. My cowboy reputation, which is probably more Hee-Haw than True Grit anyway, would probably not have taken much of a hit. My neighbors are probably just thankful my cows are on my side of the fence.

The first production units of the all-new Chevrolet Trailblazer are now rolling off General Motors Thailand's (GM) production line in Rayong, Thailand.
The Thailand produced Trailblazer will be first sold in Thailand and is expected to reach our shores together with other parts of the world soon after. The all-new Chevrolet Trailblazer LTZ model will be fitted with the new 2.8-liter Duramax turbo-diesel engine.
"The Trailblazer will be built in Thailand for Thailand, and soon also make its way into the rest of the world. And delivery of the Trailblazer to our customers starts right now," said Martin Apfel, President of GM Thailand/Southeast Asia.

Gordon Hayward out vs. Sixers
The Celtics forward continues to progress through the NBA's concussion protocol.
By wjsy@deliberatepix Mar 19, 2019, 6:07pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Gordon Hayward out vs. Sixers
Tom Szczerbowski-USA TODAY Sports
Here's the official update from the team on Gordon Hayward (and Al Horford):
#NEBHInjuryReport for tomorrow vs Philadelphia:
Gordon Hayward (NBA Concussion Protocol) - OUT
Al Horford (left knee soreness) - PROBABLE
— Boston Celtics (@celtics) March 19, 2019
Hayward ran into a blind screen from the Hawk's John Collins in Saturday's matinee at the Garden and missed yesterday's loss to the Nuggets:
Hayward is OUT for the rest of the game vs the Hawks (strained neck) due to this play (@AAANe_MAnews) #AAANortheast pic.twitter.com/BbNEXXUjn0
— Celtics on NBC Sports Boston (@NBCSCeltics) March 16, 2019
The NBA's concussion protocol is a series of steps that a player must clear before returning to the floor:
He is without concussion-related symptoms at rest.
He has been evaluated by a physician.
He has successfully completed the NBA return-to-participation exertion protocol.
A team physician has discussed the return-to-participation process and decision with the Director of the NBA concussion program, Dr. Jeffrey Kutcher.
For a more detailed explanation, click on the link above. It's unclear where Hayward is in the process. Head injuries vary in range. As a reference point, Al Horford missed six days and two games last season due to a concussion; the year before that, he missed nine games over a three week span.
After last night's loss to the Nuggets, President of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge said, "[Monday] night we just needed to make some shots in some key moments. Like, there's two or three stretches where Denver made a couple of outside shots and we missed a couple of lay-ins. I don't think it's anything disastrous; I just think we need to keep working to get consistent. And we could have used Gordon [Hayward] out there, because there were some open shots to be made."
Before his injury, Hayward had been enjoying his most productive month of his recovery. In March, he was shooting a blistering 57.9% from the field and 37.5% from behind the arc, averaging 10 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists over an eight game stretch.
After tomorrow night's tilt against the Sixers, Boston has two days off before a back-to-back over the weekend in Charlotte and at home against San Antonio. The Celtics have a 3-0 edge over the 76ers this season, including a 112-109 victory in Philadelphia before the All-Star break without Kyrie Irving. Hayward lead the team in scoring with 26 points, including 6-for-7 from 3.

'The Telephone'
Sifting through the old boxes, I came across a corded touch pad telephone. This prompted a flood of memories from days past.
Whilst the touch phone is still in use today, it has been very much superseded by the cordless model.
I do not use the landline system anymore, instead utilising the mobile device network for our communication needs.
In the early days the automated telephone system was not available for every home to have a telephone, so public phone boxes were strategically placed around the suburbs. Unfortunately in early 1950, the suburb of Lalor was very new and the only public phone in our area of the suburb was at the railway station, some 560 mt. from our house. The streets were unmade and when wet, were a challenge to navigate, especially for my mother when pushing a pram with a child in it. The local families actually had a large wooden box at the railway station where people would leave their gumboots whilst away on the train. Most people left their phone calls until they were in the vicinity of the station. The automated telephone installation did eventually come in late 1952, but the eastern end of our street was one of the last areas to be connected. We were not connected for some time, instead relying on nearby family members in an emergency.
My second experience with the telephone was at my Grandparents property near Woomelang in the Mallee. This line was known as the 'party' line, with two wires strung on insulators between mallee tree trunks.
There were no allocated phone numbers, just a special series of ring sequences. These ring sequences were a series of either 'short' or 'long' rings. Each person on the 'party' line had a different sequence. I always remember my grandmother and aunties racing to the phone, holding the hanger down and lifting the receiver to listen in on the other conversations. Nothing was private in the bush, everybody knew everybody's business. To call outside the area you had to ring the exchange in the nearest town and have the telephonist connect you to the desired number.
I often wonder if our grandparents could see what is available in communication equipment today, what would they think?

"As Time Goes By"... drawing from our Ideas Piggy Bank...
The task for late July is to dip into our "Ideas Piggy Bank". If you are new to the group or thinking of joining, the idea is to create an "Ideas Piggy Bank" in a shoe box, or treasured, perhaps decorated box, adding to it "objects and artefacts that enliven your memories, through scent and feel. Maps, menus, theatre programs, an old report card, vials of perfume, a garment, treasured photographs, a souvenir, an expired passport can sometimes trigger a work rich with detail". (2) Select two items from this piggy bank as creative prompts – what do they mean to you? What were you doing, why; what were you thinking at the time this object related to your life? (250 words for each object). Perhaps you could attach a photo or two to the email to include with your story on the web site.

Littoral Books celebrates a second book of poetry, 43 years after the first
Image courtesy of Littoral Books
This sequel was 43 years in the making.
Littoral Books, which began as a radical feminist press in 1975 and returned to the scene this fall with the publication of the novel "The House on Perry Street" by press co-founder Agnes Bushell, celebrates the publication of "Balancing Act 2," an anthology of women's poetry, with a reception from 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday at Space Gallery in Portland. It is a successor to "Balancing Act," one of two books the press published in 1975 before taking a 43-year pause.
"Balancing Act 2: An Anthology of Poems by 50 Maine Writers" includes 118 poems from widely published and emerging poets and offers what Maine Poet Laureate Stuart Kestenbaum said was "a vibrant view of the complexities of living." Inaugural poet Richard Blanco called it "an important contribution to Maine letters."
The poets live across Maine and represent many generations, from a high school senior to a woman who grew up during the Depression, said press editor James Bushell. Saturday's Portland celebration will be the first of many, he said.
"We already have scheduled a number of readings by the poets in January and February," he said, with a marathon reading from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Feb. 9 at the Portland Public Library and at 3 p.m. March 3 at the University of New England Library's Maine Women Writers Room. "Additional events will be held at a number of bookstores throughout the state, including Belfast, Brunswick, Yarmouth and Westbrook and other locales," Bushell said. "Their voices, each one so unique, create a rich and many-layered symphony, or as the poet Devi Laskar puts it, 'a beautiful chorus of voices.' "
"Balancing Act 2" poets are Sherry Barker Abaldo, Linda Aldrich, Muriel Allen, Jeanne L. Bamforth, Laura Bonazzoli, Marcia F. Brown, Linda Buckmaster, Wendy Cannella, Deborah Cummins, Kara Douglas, Patricia Ferrara Fuchs, Elizabeth W. Garber, Shana Genre, Shirley Glubka, Katherine Hagopian-Berry, Jane Hendrick, Leonore Hildebrandt, Georgie Hunt, Rebecca Irene, Judy Kaber, Deborah Krainin, Susan T. Landry, Valerie Lawson, Laura Levenson, Jacqueline Moore, Leslie Moore, Susan Colburn Motta, Molana Oei, Anne Britting Oleson, Rachel Ouellette, Lolly Phoenix, Dawn Potter, Patricia Smith Ranzoni, Marie Louise St. Onge, Hanna Sanders, Annie Seikonia, Lee Sharkey, Betsy Sholl, Lynn Siefert, Meghan Sterling, Emily Blair Stribling, Kathleen Sullivan, Jeri Theriault, Mary Ainslie Tracy, Laura Trapletti, Emily Jackson Tupper, Mariana S. Tupper, Anna Turner, Meghan Vigeant, Nancy Romines Walters.

Blue Yeti X 'World of Warcraft' Edition review
WoW, this is a great microphone
By John Loeffler 03 December 2020
The Blue Yeti X "World of Warcraft" Edition microphone is a costly peripheral that is everything a World of Warcraft fan could ever want from a table top mic. From the incredible design and build to the sound quality down to the neat programmable voice effects, this is a must-own microphone for streamers and raiders alike.
Phenomenal sound quality
Excellent construction
Gorgeous design
Simple Plug-And-Play Setup
Themed design might turn off non-WoW fans
Two minute review
Setting up a near-professional microphone has never been easier or better looking than with the Blue Yeti X World of Warcraft Edition microphone – assuming you have the money to spend and you're all in on the World of Warcraft themed design.
The microphone is essentially the Blue Yeti X with some additional World of Warcraft features added in, so already it's starting off as a seriously premium piece of hardware, which you can immediately feel right out of the box.
Weighing nearly three pounds, the build quality is exceptional with a sturdy base and enough weight to absorb any incidental vibrations from bumping a desk.
The design is gorgeous, we'd say damned-near flawless. Gamer peripherals aren't known for subtly to say the least, so the fact that the World of Warcraft branding on this microphone can be described as "classy" speaks volumes. The runes circling the base don't light up like a carnival and the mic level indicator it the only LED on the entire mic, which is as it should be.
The four pickup patterns are accessible from a touch of a button on the back of the mic and the microphone can be muted as easily as clicking the gain control button on the front of the mic.
The only ports you need to worry about are the micro-USB that connects the mic to the computer (and also powers it) and a headphone jack to monitor input, that's it, making it as simple a plug-and-play USB microphone can get.
In short, this is the perfect microphone for WoW players who want to stream their adventures through World of Warcraft: Shadowlands in style or simply use when running raids with their guildies, record podcasts, do video conferencing, you name it.
The Blue Yeti X World of Warcraft Edition microphone is available now and currently retails for $199 / £199 / AU$349, which is about $30 / £30 / AU$50 more than the standard Blue Yeti X model.
This is a bit on the pricier side of the USB microphone spectrum, but it is also a much more premium peripheral, so it's not at all out of line with expectations.
Today's best Blue Yeti X World of Warcraft Edition deals
Sample Rate: 48kHz, 24-bit
Capsules: 4x14mm condenser capsules
Polar Patterns: Cardoid, Omnidirectional, Bidirectional, Stereo
Frequency Response: 20Hz to 20kHz
Max SPL: 122dB
Dimensions (WxDxH): 4.33 x 4.8 x 11.38 inches (110 x 112 289 millimeters)
Weight: 2.8 pounds (1.28 kilograms)
Forgive us if we gush a bit about the design of the Blue Yeti X World of Warcraft edition. From the build quality to the branding, this microphone has just the right amount of flair to set it apart from other microphones and make it worth the extra cost but is reserved enough to be a very respectable piece of equipment. This is the sort of microphone that would look perfectly natural in a semi-professional, non-gamer podcast studio.
That said, the World of Warcraft branding and detailing on the microphone do let it stand out from its non-branded Blue Yeti X sibling to appeal to the WoW heads out there. If you're streaming your way through Shadowlands, you're going to want this mic in the shot.
The base is firmly weighted and absorbs the shocks of table bumps with ease while the screws holding the mic to the base are solid but simple to unscrew if you have a boom arm you want to use instead, with the mount threading on the underside ready to attach the mic to a compatible setup.
The gain control on the front and the pattern control on the back are simple to use and easily accessible, while the headphone jack for monitoring input and the micro-USB connector are easily accessible on the bottom of the mic.
The mic itself, when attached to the base, is fairly tall, measuring nearly a foot (11.38 inches to be precise) when fully extended with the circular base taking up about five inches in diameter of desk space.
All in all, it's an incredibly well designed microphone that is both highly functional and a bit of a showpiece to boot.
The basic foundation for the Blue Yeti X World of Warcraft Edition microphone is right there in the name. The Blue Yeti X is one of the best USB microphones on the market and it's not hard to see why.
The recording/voice input is near professional quality and the four polar patterns - cardioid, omnidirectional, bidirectional, and stereo - make for a versatile mic that can record high-quality audio in several different scenarios such as Twitch streaming, podcast interviews, and ambient recordings.
The gain control on the front is simple to use and the ability to configure the EQ settings via the Logitech G HUB software (Logitech bought Blue back in 2018) makes this a very robust microphone that has plenty for both beginners and advanced users to toy around with.
The Logitech G Hub is where you can control every settings on the microphone, including the input gain and polar pattern.
In addition to the microphone's equalizer where various audio settings can be controlled, there is the voice modulator setting which lets you sound like an orc, a gnome, or the Lich King himself, as well as other World of Warcraft-themed voice effects.
If that's your thing, there's a lot of features there as well as customizable settings to tinker with.
Buy it if...
You want a high-quality USB microphone
At it's core, this is the Blue Yeti X microphone, which is one of the best desktop USB mics out there, so this is definitely a high-quality piece of hardware.
You're a Wow head
If you're into all things World of Warcraft, then this microphone is for you.
You're into a classier gamer aesthetic
The only RGB on this microphone is on the gain control dial, so it has a very toned-down, but still gorgeous look to it that you'll be proud to show off.
Don't buy it if...
You're looking for a budget USB microphone
At $199 / £199 / AU$349, this is an relatively expensive piece of equipment. If you are looking for a cheap USB microphone for basic video conferencing and the like, there are more appropriate options than this.
You're looking for a professional microphone
For all the appeal of the Blue Yeti X World of Warcraft Edition USB microphone, keep it mind that despite its appearance, it isn't quite a professional quality mic. It's great for the pro-am podcaster, but you'll have to spend quite a bit more for truly professional quality sound.

Does anyone know how you strike through a word on the SDL? Thanks!
If tinyMCE is enabled there's a button that look like ABC you can click. Otherwise use text to get text.
ETA - no, it isn't working . I give up!
Where do you make suggestions? I found a link for a "suggestion box" that took me a blank page.
What I wanted to suggest is that pages like the "Internet and CCB acronyms" need to be updated. I've been here for 6 years and many of these I've never once seen. I read it when I first joined but it's only been marginally helpful.
On the same note, I was trying to find the CBB archives. On the way, I found a number of alleged links that either didn't work or took me to error pages. I feel that defunct links need to be removed.
I would point out that I am happy to do some of the grunt work myself if that would be useful - I don't expect the Mods to have the time to search for dead links.
I believe something like that is more appropriate for a new thread in The School Noticeboard as it's mostly CBB relevant. I've noticed before that some of the archived threads just need a typo fixing in their URLs - I'll go ahead and compile a list.
I'm having trouble with the 'edit' function in SDL. I posted the first two chapters of a story, and managed to go back in and edit them (sort out the spacing., etc). With the third chapter, whenever click on 'edit', there is no story text there to edit. It's disappeared!
I've tried making sure the 'style' is consistent throughout, but still no joy. I've tried on two sucessive nights and it's still the same.
I use firefox - is it a browser issue?
It might be, but also there is an option somewhere in the SDL settings called something like Mini MCE editor I think, and it's usually the root of that sort of evil if I remember correctly. It seems odd that it is doing it with only one chapter though, unless it was unchecked when you did the first two and is on now? Maybe try adding another new chapter, and then if that works go back and delete the dodgy one?
Beecharmer - you're a genuis! It's worked - thank you so much. I was getting very frustrated with it, and that's solved the problem.
Currently the path /user.php on the SDL is inaccessible which is stopping people from logging in or accessing their account info or adding things to their favourites.


6. Use a black eyeliner to line a mini wing and voila!
Price at only SGD$33 per lippie, Urban Decay Matte Revolution Lipsticks stands out from the other traditional matte lipsticks out there with their creamy, non-drying formula. These buttery babies have insane pigmentation and give a creamy-matte finish. What's amazing about this matte lippie is that not the least drying, in fact I find them really moisturising and long-wearing. As seen in the swatches above, expect shades from neutrals to brights to deep-dark colors.. there's definitely the ONE perfect shade for everyone. For greedy me, my picks are Bad Blood, Stark Naked, Menace and Tilt!
Remember my recent post where I was emphasizing on the importance of our eyebrows? Well, here's another versatile option to consider! Urban Decay Brow Beater (SGD$33) is a Microfine Brow Pencil and Brush with a waterproof lightweight gel formula that provides a smooth, even application to groom your brows anytime, anywhere. Bonus points for the mechanical, retractable pencil design on one end and spoolie brush on the other, making this slim and compact pencil the perfect travel companion!
What's the point in having perfectly shaped brows when they are unruly right? Urban Decay Brow Tamer (SGD$30) grooms, defines and sets even the unruliest brows for a fuller, more polished look. This is heaven sent for those with bushy brows like mine because this flexible hold tinted brow gel really makes a difference! And because it comes in 5 different colors to choose from, it was a relief to be able to control the darkness of brows when my hair was blonde (super dark brows + blonde hair = trashy nightmare). I also like that despite the ability to last the entire day, my brows still look really natural and not at all stiff and sticky.
So pretty….. you definitely need to wear smokey eyes more often babe!

No Manches Frida 2, an American-German-Mexican film, is the remake of a German movie Fack Ju Gohte and revolves around the story of Zequi, an ex-convict whose marriage with his love Lucy gets called off due to jitters turning into a failure. In the meantime, Frida School finds itself in trouble with the gang heading to the waters for a tournament of lives where Lucy stumbles into Mario, her old high-school sweetheart and the opposing squad's coach. While Zequi has more than one thing to compete for, he makes every effort to wrangle in his rowdy kids, save the school from being shut down, and win back the love of his life, Lucy.

Universal Robots is really the first major player in this market using an articulated robotic arm similar to Tony's, but really any robot that can be operated without safety barriers can be a Cobot. Medical Cobots have been used in the medical fields steadily for the last few years. One of the most common you may have run across is a robot called a Da Vinci Robot. This robot is one that allows a surgeon to take their hand movements to smaller more precise tool movements. These robots are often in an operating room with people in the room as well. Nurses, aestheticians and of course other doctors. The fact that the robot can be in the room and actively working alongside humans makes it a collaborative robot.
To be a Cobot, the robot manufacturer or integrator needs to follow a set of newly defined rules (IEC15066) Cobots usually can only move certain speeds around people, they can't be hot, and they must avoid human contact either by stopping or changing direction and certainly not dropping material. Many Cobots would not handle more than about 30 pounds (about 15 Kg) simply because we don't want to crush toes. This doesn't mean that they can't, it means that to be a Cobot, the safety of the human in the working environment is paramount.
But, there are robots that work closely with humans that are not actually Cobots but look very similar. The title of cobot really does lie in the definition of how the robot will integrate with humans. You can have a very fast, heavier load baring robot in a small cage close to human that would not get the designation of Cobot.
So, what about Iron Man's robot? Is he a Cobot or a Robot? In the real world, to be in an open working area with a person it would have to be a Cobot. But this is Tony Stark and he seems not to care much, so it might be safe to say that Tony's is a Robot. What do you think, does Tony have a robotic arm or a cobotic arm?

Tostadas with Hearts of Palm Ceviche is just one of the amazing recipes from Vegan Mexico by Jason Wyrick. I absolutely love Mexican food and was very excited to check out this cookbook. And after flipping through the pages, I was to make ALL the recipes! But today we'll start with Tostadas with Hearts of Palm Ceviche.
I'm no stranger to hearts of palm, so this recipe immediately caught my eye. A couple of my favorite recipes are Mango Habanero Hearts of Palm Ceviche and Summer Hearts of Palm Salad, and I wondered how this version would compare.
Let's just say I was not disappointed. In fact, Jason's version is going to be a staple in my kitchen.
But before we get to the recipe for Tostadas with Hearts of Palm Ceviche, I want to tell you a little about Vegan Mexico.
Phew! That is a lot more than just tacos, my friends.
And after you taste these Tostadas with Hearts of Palm Ceviche, you are going to want to grab a copy of Vegan Mexico for yourself!
A Baja favorite, these tostadas aren't your usual bean-and-cheese affair. These are lively and fun, zesty and spicy, light and crispy. Feel free to use a good-quality, store-bought tostada, but for the absolute freshest flavor, make your own. I also use tofu as an option to make these heartier as a meal. The diced baked tofu is perfect for these crispy treats, and combined with the hearts of palm, lend a real seafood-like quality.
Enchiladas! Tacos! And salsas…they go with everything! Thanks for the giveaway and introducing me to this book!
You're welcome, Carole! I tried one of the chilaquiles recipes the other day…so delicious!
Isn't it wonderful? And I really love this recipe.
I made the tostadas, too. They're so good! I also want to make all of the recipes in the book!
I am really enjoying learning about all the techniques. Even though I've been eating Mexican food for years, I realize now I barely know how to cook any of it!
I love Mexican food. So easy to veganize! These tostadas look so good – and easy too! I would love a copy of this book!
It's an amazing book, Jenn!
Burritos are always a good choice!
These look so good! Ceviche is one of the few foods I miss since going vegan.
I used to love ceviche too. But now I really love it with hearts of palm!
Would love to win this; it's been on my Amazon wishlist forever!
There are two chilaquiles recipes in this book. I tried one of them so far, and it was amazing!
Black bean quesadillas are my favorite.
I had a scrambled tofu torta once…so very yumful!
Yum! I love Mexican food, but I definitely don't know anything about the regions. I have a feeling I'll need two of these books. My son will want it for Christmas! I want to make tamales!
Oh Leslie, you are going to love this book!
It's hard to choose between burritos, nachos and tacos!
I love anything Mexican!! I'll have to check out this book for sure – thanks for the recommendation!
It's so delicious, Sarah! I am a big fan of Mexican food, too.
I can't believe I've never eaten hearts of palm! Got to say, there's nothing better than chips and guacamole, as basic as that is.
I'm always happy with chips and guacamole! I think you would really like hearts of palm, Eve! The ones in the jar are a lot better than the ones in a can.
I have never had hearts of palm but those tostadas are so gorgeous, I think I need to go out and find a jar!
I get them at Trader Joe's or from Amazon. They are delicious!
Wow, this would make a great light lunch! I'm such an avocado fan!
This looks beyond delicious! I've never had Hearts of Palm – I'll have to get some and make this….I'm certain we'd love it!
I'm sure you will, Lisa!
Mexican food is some of my favourite food! I'm a big fan of palm hearts and avocado – this looks so light, fresh and good.
Oh, boy! I have a new vegan cookbook to buy, I can tell that I am going to love it. This recipe is right up my alley.
You will definitely love it, Ginny!
I like to think I have tried most foods, but here are two I have never had. Tostadas and hearts of palm. it sounds delicious though and the book sounds great too.
I think you would really like hearts of palm. It's one of my favorite ingredients.
You will love this book, Melissa!
We loved this recipe too! Can't wait to explore more recipes in this gorgeous book!
The chilaquiles are amazing, too!
You can never go wrong with tacos!
Yum! I haven't had Chile Rellenos in a long time.
I love burrito bowls, enchiladas and salsa…all with lots of cilantro!
You have great taste, Heather!

Seahawks GM, wife expand outreach for young people with autism
John and Traci Schneider started Ben's Fund after their son was diagnosed with autism at age three. Ben is now thriving at 17.
Author: Michelle Li

Updated: 8:15 PM PDT April 29, 2019
RENTON, Wash. — As we approach the end of Autism Awareness Month, we're taking a moment to see what one organization is doing to help families across Washington.
Traci Schneider has been on a mission ever since her son Ben was diagnosed with autism at age three. Not only has she had to advocate for her son, but she has also been helping other Washington families raising kids with Autism.
It also doesn't hurt that her husband, John Schneider, is the general manager of the Seattle Seahawks.
The two have incredible access and have used it to help raise more than $4.25 million through Ben's Fund, an organization that gives grants to families across the state.
Ben is now thriving at 17. Advocating for him made Traci realize that young people also need help transitioning into adulthood. Now Ben's Fund has started helping young adults ages 19 to 23 transition into the next phase of their lives.
"What does that next step look like for them? There are a lot of unknowns, a lot of 'what do we do and how do we support them and how do we get them in the right job, or doing the right things and out in our community and being accepted?' There are so many pieces to that puzzle," Schneider said.
Ben's Fund can help by offering grants to help young people in education, job training, life or social skills.

Unpleasant news for the American President Donald Trump: His longtime Confidant Roger Stone was arrested on Friday in Florida. Trump's former campaign adviser, is accused of obstruction of investigations, such as the office of the special investigator Robert Mueller said on Friday. Stone is said to have made several false statements. In addition, he is said to have tried to influence a witness.
Stone dismissed the accusations, after he had been left a few hours after his arrest, subject to conditions. He stressed that he would not be a burden on Trump, because he'd have to lie. "I believe that this is a politically motivated investigation." During his appearance in front of journalists in Fort Lauderdale stretched Stone with both hands in a Victory sign.
the FBI Team around Mueller examined whether there was in the presidential campaign of 2016, agreed in the Trump camp with representatives of Russia. Trump lashes out at the Russia-investigations regularly as a "witch-hunt". Stone is in the investigations of several accused from trump's direct environment.
Stone had worked 2015 for Trump in the preparations for the presidential campaign of 2016. He was then in close contact with him, as a kind of informal adviser.
The allegations against him are in connection with a hacking attack on the E-Mail accounts of the Democrats during the election campaign of 2016, for the US-secret services of Russia. In the attack E-Mails from democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is stolen, which were later published by the Wikileaks revelations.
Mueller's Team before throwing the Stone, before the us Congress false information about what he knew about the hacker attack and with whom he communicated about it. In addition, he is said to have a other witnesses harassed, to make false statements in the case.
In the versions of the Mueller-office, Stone was employed in 2016, in consultation with – unspecified – representatives from trump's campaign-Team with the question of whether and how further incriminating Material could be released against Clinton.

The banana fibre products are popular for their household utility use. These are items like laundry basket, office waste paper basket, and fruit or egg trays. There are also banana fibre products that serve as house deco. These are art scenes depicting African culture, animals, and nativity products. Of late, the Kikuyu ethnic women community from central province have introduced Banana fiber "Kiondo" basket. Unlike the sisal baskets, the banana fibre "kiondo" do not need any colouring.
As for the hand woven banana fibre basketry, the producers are based in Central and western province and even in slum areas. 90% of banana fibre basketry producers are middle-aged women who make the banana basketry to supplement their sources of income. It is also an activity that instills a sense of belonging and security. Most of the producers lifetime dream is to educate their children and acquire or build a better house which has a security of tenure.
Like in most slum areas, a majority of the women take both the role of the bread earner and house head. There are many reasons behind it such as having been widowed, divorced or even migrated from rural areas in search of greener pastures in Nairobi just to find themselves in the slum life. Traditionally unlike men, women do not have property right or inherit from their place of origin thus rural land. Therefore their best alternative is to adapt to urban slum life where basic social amenities are not only lacking but inadequate to serve the usually high population of maginalized citizens. The problems that face the slum community and their rural counterpart is poverty and unemployment. Many of the slum dwellers rely on unreliable source of income such as temporary construction work while their women combine their respective source of income with child rearing among other household chores.
In order to fight the odds against them, women unlike men have formed their own Banana fibre groups. The common objective is to work as a team as a way of seeking recognition and to empower the group members. This is realised through networking with the powers that be. These women slum groups, source the banana fibre raw material from the rural areas where banana plant is grown. The fibre are collected from the garden while dry and later softened by soaking the fibre overnight before usage.
In the event of getting an order, the women do come together at a convenient day of the week with the purpose of discussing on issues that affect them and distributing the work amongst themselves. It is during such a time that new members are shown the skill of making the products. With the ever increasing high rate of unemployment and poverty levels in Kenya today, Banana fibre product making has come to be regarded as an important source of income. Most of the women are known to sit for long hours in the middle of the night weaving their products. Many of these producers don't have electricity in their homes. For that reason, use of paraffin lanterns are therefore very handy at such dark and long working hours. The members are normally paid on the basis of the items made hence the need to work at late hours chatting and doing other house hold chores. Unlike their rural women counterparts, the urban slum women speed of production and capacity is very much dictated by the availability of the raw material, which in most case is sourced from up country at an extra cost due to the transportation logistics.

Home MMA & UFC NEWS Curtis Blaydes Would Prefer Title Shot Rather Than Jon Jones Fight
Curtis Blaydes Would Prefer Title Shot Rather Than Jon Jones Fight
The current word is that Jon Jones may be lined up against Curtis Blaydes in his comeback fight in March if Francis Ngannou isn't ready by then, but while that would be a huge opportunity, 'Razor' has made it clear that he'd prefer a title shot instead.
"Title shot, that's the ultimate goal," Blaydes told Fanatics View. "Jon is just the ultimate consolation, but what you workout for every day is the real belt, not the interim belt. The real belt."
Nevertheless, while he's not heard any kind of confirmation from the UFC brass that this is indeed their plan, Blaydes intends to train as if he is going to be facing the former light-heavyweight champion and pound-for-pound great.
"Seeing as how it's been reported by all these official MMA websites and authors, I think it's legit, and I'm going to begin preparing when I get home after the holidays. I'll be in champ mode or the mindset, so I'll be ready. We'll see what happens though."
Blaydes is currently ranked No.3 in the heavyweight division thanks to his current three-fight winning streak, which has seen him claim a unanimous decision victory over Jairzinho Rozenstruik followed by back-to-back TKO victories over Chris Daukaus and Tom Aspinall.
A title shot has so far proved elusive for the 31-year-old though, having previously come very close on two occasions, with a previous four-fight unbeaten run ending in a TKO loss to Francis Ngannou back in 2018, while he ammassed another four wins after that before being KO'd by Derrick Lewis early last year.
As for Jones, he's only lost once in his entire 28-fight career, and even that defeat was controversial, due to a DQ in a fight against Matt Hamill that he was clearly dominating.
Over the course of his career the 35-year-old Jones has successfully defend the light-heavyweight title 11 times, but he's never fought at heavyweight before and hasn't set foot in the Octagon since a decision win over Dominick Reyes in early 2020.
