The Vietnam War documentary series by Ken Burns
Together with Lynn Novick, filmmaker Ken Burns, who has previously made long documentary films on The Civil War and World War II, has made a film about perhaps the most controversial and contentious event in American history, The Vietnam War. The film runs for 18 hours across 10 installments and begins on September 17 on PBS.
David Kamp interviewed Novick and Burns for Vanity Fair and proclaims the film a triumph:
I watched the whole series in a marathon viewing session a few days before meeting with the filmmakers — a knock-you-sideways experience that was as enlightening as it was emotionally taxing. For all their unguarded anxiety about doing the war justice, Burns and Novick have pulled off a monumental achievement. Audiovisually, the documentary is like no other Burns-branded undertaking. Instead of folksy sepia and black-and-white, there are vivid jade-green jungles and horrific blooms of napalm that explode into orange and then gradually turn smoky black. The Vietnam War was the first and last American conflict to be filmed by news organizations with minimal governmental interference, and the filmmakers have drawn from more than 130 sources for motion-picture footage, including the U.S. networks, private home-movie collections, and several archives administered by the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. The series's depiction of the Tet offensive, in which the North Vietnamese launched coordinated attacks on the South's urban centers, is particularly and brutally immersive, approaching a 360-degree experience in its deft stitching together of footage from various sources.
The sound and music promises to thrill as well. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross (who did the scores for The Social Network, Gone Girl, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) provided original music to supplement popular music contemporary to the time. They even got The Beatles.
Then there's all that popular music from the 60s and 70s: more than 120 songs by the artists who actually soundtracked the times, such as Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, the Animals, Janis Joplin, Wilson Pickett, Buffalo Springfield, the Byrds, the Rolling Stones, and even the ordinarily permissions-averse and budget-breaking Beatles. Of the Beatles, Novick noted, "They basically said, We think this is an important part of history, we want to be part of what you're doing, and we will take the same deal everybody else gets. That's kind of unprecedented."
I'm very much looking forward to this.

Who is the last Jedi? What is the phantom menace?
posted by Jason Kottke May 31, 2017
Vanity Fair's David Kamp recently tried to get Kathleen Kennedy and Rian Johnson to tell him the meaning behind The Last Jedi, the title of the upcoming Star Wars movie. LOL. Hopeless move, right? Why would he even ask such a question? Oh, because George Lucas told him who the The Phantom Menace referred to before that movie came out.
Vanity Fair: So, do we know what the words The Last Jedi allude to?
Kathleen Kennedy: Why in the world do you think I would tell you that?
VF: I'll tell you why. Back in 1998, I interviewed George Lucas for V.F. ahead of The Phantom Menace, and I asked, "Who or what is the phantom menace?" And he nonchalantly said, "Oh, it's Darth Sidious."
KK: Did he really?
VF: Just like that.
KK: I'm not going to do that.
VF: So, does the word "Jedi" work in the singular or the plural?
KK: That's actually what's interesting about the title, and very intentionally ambiguous.
VF: As you're being right now.
KK: Yes.
Here's the relevant passage from a piece written by Kamp and published in 1999:
Given that The Phantom Menace is a Vader- and Emperor-free movie, the role of evil string-puller falls to someone we've never heard of. "The phantom menace is a character named Darth Sidious," Lucas says, "who is the last of the Sith" ("An ancient people… conquered by powerful dark-side Jedi magic"-page 268, Star Wars Encyclopedia, by Stephen J. Sansweet). Actually, Lucas goes on to explain, the "menace" honorific should be broadened to include Sidious's apprentice, Darth Maul, a terrifyingly fierce-looking character played by the martial-arts expert Ray Park. Maul gets to fight a lightsaber battle with Obi-Wan, but Sidious remains a shadowy figure. "Nobody knows Darth Sidious exists," says Lucas. "Well, he's seen to the audience, but not to the players."
Lucas appears to be firmly in the spoilers are fine camp.

CCC Yabbering
Protagonists and Antagonists Discussing the Important Things in Life
December 5, 2019 December 5, 2019 ~ C³
If you're anything like me, you abhor the idea of talking to people you don't like. Rather than ask them how the kids are doing, you would rather stab them in the eye with a tuning fork. Or stab yourself in the eye because in that case, at least, you won't have to deal with lawyer fees and convincing the jury that your mortal enemy deserved receiving an acoustic resonator to their eye socket. The great thing about games like Stella Glow is that not only are you allowed to get all stabby with your enemies, you're actively encouraged to. But there's this thing about people, which is that they're more often than not more valuable alive than dead, especially when they know something important, e.g., the end of the world.
Stella Glow is a tactical JRPG, in the same vein as Final Fantasy Tactics, except half the cast is cute anime girls, and the other half is that other gender that's technically important to the continuation of the species but that nobody gives two flips about. The protagonist we follow in this action-adventure epic is—
Stop right there. Hold on a second. Before we go any further, you should probably be aware that this post is gonna contain some heavy spoilers of the game, and I mean super heavy spoilers. So super and so heavy that the earth itself would crack under the weight, so further reading is encouraged only as a means to an end of days. (The banner also gives away the biggest spoiler, rendering this disclaimer moot, so…sorry 'bout that.)
As I was saying, Stella Glow's protagonist is an amnesiac not-girl named Alto who lives with his hotter adoptive sister, who is a girl, and her milf of a mother, who is better than a girl—a woman. Together, they live a peaceful, rural village life, until one day when Alto meets a lingerie model who turns his entire village and all its inhabitants to stone crystal. As it turns out, the lingerie model is the founding member of Hilda's Heavy Metalists, who tour the countryside, rocking so hard that they turn all their fans to rock crystal. But through the sheer power of coincidence-that-starts-act-II, Alto finds out that he's this story's Chosen One, known in this title by the moniker of the Conductor, and that his hot adoptive sister is a waterbender. Then a royal band shows up and recruits the pair to officially found Alto's Adagios.
The bulk of the second act is Alto and his crew hopping around the country, looking for new members to recruit and occasionally having a battle of the bands with Hilda's gang, for their ultimate goal of combining earth, fire, wind, water, and heart to summon Captain Planet to save the world. It's fairly formulaic by this point, being a "bad guys wanna blow up the world because they're dicks" plot. What else could a bad guy be when you kindly ask him to stop stoning people and his only retort is that he'll take great pleasure in beating you over the head with a boulder-sized stone? But the midway point of the game is when this facade completely crumbles.
Once Alto has recruited the largest rock group since Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, he puts on a concert in the capital so rocking that everybody previously turned to not-stone will destone themselves so that they can rock to Alto's Andantes. This is wonderful, except their playing was so loud it summoned angry grandmas from the moon who hate anything that isn't Bach's Cello Suite in C Minor with a fiery passion and are willing to destroy the entire world just to make doubly sure they never hear another rock concert again.
Not so wonderful, after all. Probably should've foreseen this given how the song they play goes. Know what also should've tipped them off? The heavy metalists who knew their singing would summon hell's angels and were trying to prevent it the entire time.
This is the Good All Along trope played straight, and while I like how shows like Kill la Kill and Gurren Lagann handled it, Stella Glow doesn't have the same knack for it. To explain in the most spoiler-free fashion I'm physically capable of managing, while also mostly ignoring the message those combined words would communicate, both those anime succeed with the trope because it's not necessary for the protagonist and his/her lackies to be in on the scoop of who's the real big bad.
Once upon a time, I was a teenager, so I know first-hand that the two things teenagers love most are gossip and rumors, and if there's no gossip or rumors to go around, they'll brew some up. If the student counsel in Kill la Kill let even one of the students know what they were really scheming, that one student would have taken their gossip-loving lips and blabbed about it to the rest of the student body. Kinda hard to take the big baddie by surprise with an entire school's worth of kids chattering about how the student counsel is secretly the Green Berets.
But as far as Hilda's rabble hiding their touring schedule, there's no reason for them to. It's not like Alto and his bunch finding out will tear open a black hole that swallows up the solar system. If just one of them said, "Hey! If you sing that song, angels will fall from the sky and kill us all! Just wanted ta let ya know," the good guys would know not to do the thing that would make them the not-so-good guys. Of course, when your rivals spout such obvious nonsense, you're justifiably obliged to take it as obvious nonsense, but that's where we can play some dissonance between his party members.
Let's pretend for a moment that you're a ham addict and you eat so much ham that you've single-handedly put pigs on the endangered species list. Congratulations. Someone comes up to you one day and tells you that eating that much pork per lifetime can lead to serious health hazards, namely the growing of a quartet of singing heads on your back. You being the obvious nonsense disbeliever you are dismiss their claims and wobble away while munching on some bacon you've been saving since six.
Now let's say you have a spouse who's also a pig for pigs, and you vent to them about what obvious nonsense some perfect stranger had the gall to say to you. You guffawfawfaw as you recount the encounter, but your spouse doesn't think it's so funny. In fact, it would explain why their singing in the shower has improved so exponentially these past few weeks. So, they drop pork from their diet and swears from now on to eat healthy, beginning by grilling up a nice, juicy sirloin steak.
All it takes for some people to start questioning their knowledge and beliefs is a seed being stuck in their noggin. They might dismiss it as a particularly itchy spot at first, but if they focus on it enough, it'll sprout larger and greener, until it's got its vines wrapped around their jaw, opening and closing their mouth to the chant of "World governments are hiding the fact that the Earth is flat because they just are!"
Not all of Alto's bandmates need to agree with what Hilda's college roomies are selling (they can dismiss it as counterfeit right off the bat), but just one or two guitarists can start mulling it over during their jamming sessions, and then they'll start searching for evidence or the mental gymnastics required to back up the logic of that claim, and it's after that when they convert to the ways of the heavy metalist. Then the plot's just mayhem as bassists and drummers flock from one band to the next, just as they've always done throughout 20th century history. Of course, this would make the big reveal a little hard to pull off, and it wouldn't be such a big reveal since everybody and their pet pig knows about it, but if the true baddies managed to scrape together the vocalists they needed or the angels hammered together a gangplank and lined up on it, it could be the good guys failing to prevent the end of the world, kinda like what the best Final Fantasy did. The plot possibilities are endless once someone learns how to open their bloody mouth and say something besides, "You wouldn't understand." Well, no shit, Sherlock, they wouldn't understand. When you forego communication altogether, nobody's going to understand anything!
All this rambling, however, is done with the Good All Along trope in mind, as I mentioned in passing, so bad guys who are bad don't have as much of an obligation to revealing their haunted past to the protagonist over teatime. They do, however, have an obligation to let the audience know why they're doing what they're doing.
The Isolator's baddies don't have the most ideological motivations, committing acts of murder for their own twisted, personal goals, but they do have their reasons, and as far as the goodies are concerned, they're just bad guys who need to be put down, which is fine. We the audience know why that one old guy wants to watch the world burn, and the only prerogative the goodies need for charging at him with fire extinguishers is because they believe it's the moral high ground to save lives rather than hit up the local convenience store for their marshmallow stock.
A recurring antagonist of Bakuman—teeny-tiny spoilers, FYI—is a manga artist who has controversial methods for going about his manga creation process, and while he loves nothing more than opening up and dumping cans of beans in front of the protagonists, he has no reason to do so. Yet he does this because he represents what you could call a "new wave" of manga creation (and, yes, I am giving it that specific name because New Wave is a genre of music and I'm trying to maintain the musical theme), while the protagonists represent the "classical" style, and he's deliberately challenging them and the accepted establishments of the industry. If he didn't do this, their publication bouts wouldn't hold the same weight that they did. It's almost like watching an underground grudge band try and scramble onto the stage of a pop star's concert and expound on how "pure and conformist" their songs are.
And if you want an example of the good guy turning the bad guy to his side before I close things off, take a gander at Dr. Stone. The big bad of the first major arc allies with the good guy but then turns on him due to an ideology difference. But after the corner we're rooting for proves what their vision of the future can accomplish with the power of a functioning tank, he converts back, seeing his own beliefs as inferior. Also, spoilers.
After preaching all of this, the point I guess I'm getting at is that Stella Glow stuck too closely to a formula and as a result had this awkward relationship between Alto and Hilda's ensembles. I understand why it did what it did, but if it was willing to take a risk with antagonists who knew more lines than "I'll impale you on my spear which I just finished sharpening" or had a sharper pencil for writing dialogue, I wouldn't be sitting here complaining about how the good guys and the bad guys talk. I would be raging about how all of the female characters knicked their outfits from that one Final Fantasy where the female cast half decided they would try out a gig as Victoria's Secret models.

We often have a number of designs in our special offer range. If you're looking for a bargain brolly, or if you're wanting to buy in bulk, take a look here or contact us to discuss your requirements.
Clearance umbrellas at low prices! From time to time we are able to place some of our umbrellas on special offer. This can be great if you're just looking for a good bargain umbrella or if you're looking to bulk buy. There are many reasons why. This can be quite simply because we're carrying high stock levels - due to a change of contract with one of our retail customers, for example or an inventory management issue; it doesn't necessarily mean that the particular umbrella on special offer isn't popular.
Another reason we'll put our brollies on special offer is that we're running a promotion. It might be for seasonal reasons. So, if you're keeping an eye on the pennies because money's tight, check back at our Special Offers category from time to time.
If you need to bulk buy, possibly for an event, then these amazing clearance parasols might well be what you're looking for. If you can't find quite what you have in mind, give us a call or drop us an email. It may be we have a solution somewhere in our warehouse - and the boss is always open to a good old fashioned haggle!


At the 20th EU-China Summit in Bejing this week recycling was one of the core topics. Co-operation by the two major world economies is said to cover sustainable strategies, legislation, policies and research. More specifically, it will focus on management systems and policy tools including eco-design, eco-labelling, extended producer responsibility and green supply chains as well as financing of the circular economy. Both sides have pledged that they will support a 'strategic exchange' on best practices in key fields such as industrial parks, chemicals, plastics and waste.
This confirms the road China is heading towards sustainability. In January 2017, Xi Jinping announced to spend 252 billion Yuan (US$ 37 billion) from 2017 to 2020 for improving the waste situation in his country.

Q: Inserting the value in A1 of each worksheet in the WorkBook into column B of the Table of Contents I have created a VBA macro to create a refresh the Table of Contents worksheet every time the Table of Contents is selected.  ( I borrowed this code from an example I found on the web and inserted a comment to give the author credit.)
The macro inserts the worksheet tab name in column A and creates a hyperlink that selects that worksheet when the user clicks on that cell.
The macro also sizes rows & columns, defines fonts, font colors & font sizes, border line weight & colors and adds such function , such as, filename, location, creator, date created, last modifier & last date modified.
I have nor been able to create  For each loop that accesses cell A1 in worksheet other than the Table of Contents and inserts the value in sheet # in column B of the appropriate row.

A caravan and a van have been destroyed by two separate fires at Lough Key Caravan Park in Rockingham, County Roscommon.
The Gardai and Boyle fire teams were called to Lough Key Caravan Park when the blaze was noticed at 2.20am last Saturday.
Although the fire service extinguished both blazes, fire fighters had been too late to save the caravan, which had been gutted in the incident.
Believing the fires to have been started deliberately, Gardai officers sealed off the scene and waited at the Caravan Park for crime scene investigators to arrive from Roscommon on Sunday.
The mobile home was parked at the entrance of the Caravan Park and due to its usual facility as a daytime security base, it happened to be unoccupied when the vehicle went up in flames. The man who owned the newly registered van was asleep in his tent while the fire was started.
Two youngsters in their teens were arrested by the Gardai for being intoxicated when they ran from the scene as the squad cars approached.
After being questioned at Boyle Garda Station, the youths have now been released to their parents while investigations continue, the Roscommon Herald reports.
This news highlights yet again the need to take out full caravan insurance. With Cover4Caravans, we don't ask for you to employ elaborate and expensive security systems to qualify for caravan insurance with us.
Cover4Caravans simply requires that customers fit a wheel clamp and hitchlock to their caravan while it is detached from their vehicle and left unattended.

Please read our information on fostering below and if you are interested in becoming a foster home, fill out a Foster Home Application.
Foster homes can be a vital part of a shelter's "master plan" for saving animals. At Cats Cradle, we take great pride in our foster home program: Thanks to caring individuals and families (like you and yours), who step up when kitten homes are needed or when the shelters are full, Cats Cradle and the other local rescues have been able to save almost every adoptable cat from Fargo, Moorhead, and West Fargo since 2012 (we lost 2 in July 2012 due to lack of room). This is an amazing feat, considering that in the five years prior to 2012, between 430 and 700 cats were euthanized each year. Choosing to become a foster home means you have joined an amazing group of people who are truly changing the world for local cats and kittens.
Caring for cats who find shelter living stressful.
Fostering on short notice for a few hours or a few days until we can find a long-term foster for the cat or kitten(s). Sometimes, we just need a place for new arrivals to go until we can work our way down the regular foster roster and get a hold of the right family for the situation!
Foster cats should be kept in their own room, away from household cats. This is a conservative precaution that CCS encourages foster homes to respect.
Cats can carry serious diseases there is no test for (like Feline Infectious Peritonitis) or they may have been exposed to Feline Leukemia or Feline Immunodeficiency Virus so recently that they haven't developed enough antibodies to trigger a positive test result during our intake process. Many of these disease are contagious between cats to one degree or another.
Cats will frequently show minimal symptoms of less severe illnesses like eye, ear, or respiratory infections until the situation is fairly advanced. Bacterial, viral, and fungal illnesses are contagious to household pets.
Cats who are shy, elderly, or recovering from illness/injury can find interacting with strange, new cats stressful and that may provoke setbacks in their progress.
Young kittens do not have mature immune systems. Household pets may carry trace amounts of infectious agents that wouldn't faze an adult cat, but which can endanger or kill a vulnerable kitten.
If you choose to allow your personal cats to interact with foster cats, you assume all liability for injuries, illnesses, etc that may occur. If you are going to allow contact between foster cats and personal cats, speak with your veterinarian about vaccination protocols (they may recommend an FELV vaccination for your personal companions) and other precautions they may suggest.
Foster homes will provide a safe, cat-proofed environment & adequate food, water, and social time for their foster cats. The foster cat(s) immediate environment should be kept relatively clean (we know food gets spilled and litter gets kicked around, but it should be picked up regularly). Cats like routines, so keeping to a schedule for feeding and play times cat reduce stress and help cats adapt to new environments.
Foster homes will protect the foster cats in their care. Do not allow anyone in the household or visitors to scare or intimidate the foster cat (even if they think they are being funny), physically mistreat the foster cat, or engage in overly rough play.
Foster homes will bring the foster cat/kittens to Cats Cradle for adoption open houses. Kittens start coming to open house after they are 8 weeks old and have had their first distemper shot. Prior to that time, too much handling and exposure to novel germs can stress kittens and make them sick. Older cats and those recovering from surgery should be brought when they are ready…which will be determined by conversations between the foster home and Cats Cradle staff. The timing will vary, depending upon the situation.
Foster homes will bring the foster cat/kitten back to live at the shelter when the cat/kitten is ready. Again, the timing on this may vary and will be determined in conversations between the foster home and Cats Cradle. Cats Cradle will have the final word on when a foster cat will return to the shelter or be transferred to a different foster home.
Cats Cradle provides all the food, litter, and medical care for foster cats. We also loan out necessary equipment like a carrier, blankets, bowls, litter box/scoop, and toys if needed. We ask that the equipment be returned when the cat/kittens are adopted or join a shelter colony so we can sanitize it and use it for the next foster home.
Our Foster Home Coordinator works very hard to match the needs of each cat or litter with the skills/experience of the foster homes. We will never require a foster family to take on responsibilities outside their comfort level although many of our foster home get excited to take on new challenges as their confidence grows.

TomoTherapy announces first Middle East installation of Hi‰Û¢Art cancer treatment system
Saudi Arabia's King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre will become region's first to treat cancer patients with next-generation radiation therapy solution.
TomoTherapy has recently announced that Saudi Arabia's leading cancer centre, King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre (KFSH&RC), in Riyadh, will become the region's first to treat patients with the Hi•Art treatment system, a next-generation radiation therapy solution designed to improve the precision of cancer care.
The company says the Hi•Art treatment system is unique among radiation therapy devices in its computed tomography (CT) scanner-based design. The system allows clinicians to efficiently acquire a true CT image of the patient immediately before daily treatment to help ensure accuracy. Then, using the same equipment as used in imaging, the treatment team can deliver highly-precise radiation in a continuous, 360-degree (helical) pattern.
KFSH&RC commemorated the installation of the Hi•Art treatment system with a ribbon-cutting ceremony during a scientific meeting held at the hospital March 9-12, 2009. The meeting, entitled "Innovative Approaches in Radiotherapy: Beyond Tomorrow", attracted radiation oncology professionals from throughout the country and featured an impressive roster of speakers, including TomoTherapy co-founder and Chairman of the Board Thomas "Rock" Mackie.
"It was an honour for me to attend both the scientific meeting and Hi•Art system opening ceremony hosted by King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre," said Dr. Mackie. "TomoTherapy is extremely pleased to partner with this world-renowned centre as it implements the only solution designed to deliver on the promises of image-guided, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IG-IMRT)."

TomboyX makes period underwear for people like me who aren't comfortable with ultra-feminine styles — here's how they work
Kelli Trapnell
TomboyX
TomboyX is known for its androgynous underwear designs, and it now offers a line of leakproof period underwear in its signature bikini and trunk styles ($22 and $32 respectively, in sizes XS-4X).
I've been wearing the trunks during my period, and they provide a comfortable, affirming option for people like me who aren't interested in hyper-feminine underwear.
The three-layer design provides protection against leaks and irritation, and they can be worn with or without supplemental menstruation products.
TomboyX First Line Leakproof Trunks
$32.00 from TomboyX
TomboyX First Line Leakproof Bikini
Leakproof period underwear isn't exactly a new thing. Brands like Thinx brought exposure to the category with large-scale campaigns on social media and around New York City (you've probably seen their ads on the subway before).
Thinx and others like Knix cater pretty exclusively to feminine women. The problem is, not all of us who might want to take advantage of this kind of underwear are cisgender, and certainly not all of us are femme.
But thanks to gender-inclusive underwear brand TomboyX, queer people like me are finally able to get in on the comfort and ease of the innovation.
I love TomboyX's regular underwear, which is designed to look the way most men's underwear does, just without all the extra fabric in the front. Its leakproof styles fit the same bill as their original underwear; the androgynous styles are affirming and comfortable for gender-non-conforming people to wear.
How TomboyX's leakproof underwear work
The line of menstrual underwear, called the First Line Leakproof series, features bikinis and trunks ($22 and $32 respectively, in sizes XS-4X) built much in the same fashion as a typical cut of TomboyX underwear. They are meant to be worn during your period with or without other aids like tampons, pads, and menstrual cups.
As of right now, they come in two styles: bikini and 4.5-inch trunks. They're made from soft cotton, lined with a gusset that stretches the full length of the crotch area. The gusset is made with three layers of fabric: a twill layer that wicks moisture away from the body (this makes yeast infections and irritation less likely); a layer of terry cloth, which absorbs and retains liquid so that nothing leaks; and a water-resistant cotton shell, which further protects against leaks. In the trunks, the gusset floats, which means that it can accommodate a winged pad if you want additional protection.
The bikini style can hold up to 8 teaspoons of liquid, or four super tampons worth, and the trunks hold about half that amount. The underwear is also hand-washable or you can throw them in the machine on low in a delicates bag.
TomboyX's underwear do not contain harmful PFOAs
TomboyX's leakproof underwear are made with Oeko-Tex 100 Certified fabrics, which contain no PFOAs, the toxic chemical that was recently discovered in Thinx underwear and is a known contributor to cancer, thyroid issues, liver damage, and fertility issues.
"In the case of TomboyX First Line products, our factory partners maintain robust in-house processes and engage third-party testing to confirm that PFOA and PFOS, known toxins and carcinogens from the PFAS family, are not present," Julie Nomi, VP of Product at TomboyX, told INSIDER.
They're also ethically produced in women-owned factories that pay living wages, and are made with sustainable materials.
My experience using TomboyX's leakproof underwear:
As someone with a relatively unpredictable, short, and heavy period, leakproof underwear is a great idea for me. I've tried Thinx and other period underwear brands before, but the nagging sense of dysphoria and the fact that my body shape just likes a boxer brief better (my thighs chafe without a long underwear style) made the whole thing just not worth it for me — and that was before I learned about all the chemicals used to make them.
I'm not going to lie, at first, the trunks feel a little … present. But in my experience, this is common across all menstrual underwear. Since I'm so used to TomboyX's normal underwear, they were ultimately comfortable and familiar enough that I soon forgot about the extra fabric between my legs. I wore them to bed the night before I started my period (a lucky guess) and though I bled a lot while I slept, there was no stain on my sheets, and no leakage anywhere. I honestly didn't realize I had started at all until I went to the bathroom. I washed them and wore them later on that week during my heaviest day, and there was no discomfort or leaking. I didn't get that heavy feeling I sometimes get when I know I've bled through a tampon.
Overall, my experience wearing the leakproof underwear was so delightful and affirming — it made the whole ordeal of having a period less of a burden.
Unlike other menstrual underwear, TomboyX's First Line Leakproof designs give ample leak protection to those who might not enjoy a feminine style of underwear, and their toxic-chemical-free construction makes them a potentially safer alternative to the period panties offered by other brands.

Langara Island, known as Kiis Gwaii to the Haida (Haida: Ḵ'íis Gwáayaay), is the northernmost island of Haida Gwaii in British Columbia, Canada.  The island is approximately  in size. It is located approximately  south of Alaska.

History

Little is known about its history.  It is named after Spanish naval commander Juan de Lángara.  During Lángara's period at the head of the Spanish navy, Spanish explorers were charting the coast of what is now British Columbia, and, in their charts, named some land formations after him. Juan José Pérez Hernández was the first European to sight, examine, name, and record these islands.  His frigate was the Santiago, which was crewed mostly by Mexicans. In July 1774, he briefly met a group of Haida off the northwestern tip of Langara Island. In 1913 the Langara Light was lit at the northwest corner of the island. It is one of the largest islands from which Norway rats have been eradicated. The eradication campaign for R. norvegicus was begun in July 1995 using anti-coagulant bait and the island was declared free of rats in May 1997.

On 6 September 2018, the Haida Legend sank off Langara Island. The vessel had been fishing halibut and the cause of the sinking is unknown. All members of the crew were rescued.

Climate
Langara Island has an oceanic climate (Cfb) with cool to mild summers and very cool, rainy winters with chilly nights.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A second arrest has been made in the case of the daughter of MLB Hall of Fame pitcher Dennis Eckersley who gave birth in the woods in New Hampshire in subfreezing temperatures, authorities said Wednesday.
George Theberge was arrested and charged with tampering with witnesses, reckless conduct and endangering the welfare of a child in connection with the Dec. 26 birth, police in the city of Manchester said.
In a police affidavit, the daughter Alexandra Eckersley, 26, referred to Theberge as her boyfriend. Other records in the case have been sealed. It was not immediately known if he has a lawyer.
The baby boy was left alone in a tent for more than an hour before officers found him, authorities say. The mother was accused of abandoning her son without heat or proper clothing. She pleaded not guilty Dec. 27 to charges of assault, reckless conduct, and other counts, and was released on bail on condition that she can't have contact with her son.
Eckersley's lawyer, Kim Kossick, said she's in treatment.
"She's recovering from this ordeal," Kossick said. "She's a young woman who didn't know she was pregnant. She gave birth alone, in the woods. She did the only thing she could do, and she called 911."
Kossick said Eckersley did lead the police to the baby. "In my opinion, she did save the baby's life," she said.
She added, "The idea this woman alone had this child and the first instinct was to arrest her, I think, just tells you a lot about what you need to know about our society. She was taken to the police station and interrogated before she was taken to the hospital, in her bloody clothes, still bleeding from the birth."
She is the daughter of Dennis Eckersley, who was drafted by Cleveland as a California high schooler in 1972, went on to pitch 24 seasons as both a 20-win starter and a 50-save reliever for Cleveland, Boston, the Cubs, Oakland and the Cardinals. He won the AL Cy Young and MVP awards in 1992 while playing for the Oakland Athletics. Eckersley retired last year from broadcasting Boston Red Sox games.
The Eckersley family released a statement last month saying they had no prior knowledge of the pregnancy and were in complete shock. They were seeking guardianship of the boy.
The statement went on to say that Alexandra Eckersley, whom they referred to as "Allie," has suffered from "severe mental illness her entire life" and that the family did their very best to get her help and support.

Mayor Lee Congratulates SF Giants On National League West Title
by Bay City News | September 23, 2012 1:41 am	| in News | 0
As San Francisco Giants fans celebrated a win Saturday night that earned them the National League West title, the city's mayor weighed in on the victory.
"Tonight, San Francisco is once again filled with Giants pride as our amazing home team beat the San Diego Padres 8-4 to begin their quest toward bringing another World Series Championship to our world-class city," Lee said in a statement.
"All of San Francisco along with Giants fans everywhere turned their attention to AT&T Park this week as the magic number continued to drop lower and lower," he said.
The mayor also acknowledged the team's triumphs after overcoming a "season filled with their share of obstacles."
Those challenges included losing closing pitcher Brian Wilson to an elbow injury at the beginning of the season and more recently, the suspension of Giants outfielder and All-Star Game MVP Melky Cabrera after he tested positive for game-enhancing drugs.
With the National League West title under its belt, the team is set to compete in their first playoff game two weeks from now.

Watch the "Cassandra Directive" scene.
Here is another clip from last week's Dramatists Guild reading. The "Cassandra Directive" scene in JULIA & BUDDY isn't in the play only for comic relief - the themes of not needing sex - at least androids as opposed to humans - and also precognition - or the lack thereof - come up later in the play. But there is something about the way Claire Warden does the Cassandra voice (she's technically not supposed to be seen, only heard) that cracks me up every time. You can hear me chortling and snorting (how attractive) while recording.
In the image above, her hand is blurry because she was enacting cutting off the cowboy's hand with a light saber - although she accidentally says "I will sever your hand from my arm" - which I guess could work, but in the script she says she'll sever his hand from his own arm.
But she's so good as the android I might have to rewrite the scene to have her actually play the ladybot.
The original inspiration for this scene is a parody I wrote of a local independent filmmaker's space western, which can be read here.
One of the reasons the filmmaker's films are so lacking in humor - which at least one reviewer complained about - is because almost every one of his characters is surly. The hero. The retarded space marshall. All the other space marshalls. The ladybot. The monk guy or whatever he was. And surly ALL THE TIME. I guess the filmmaker figures it makes his movies seem all tough and bad-ass and shit to have every character in a perpetual bad mood.
And that's why his films - the bits I've seen - are so unintentionally funny. People walking around in quasi-space gear snarling constantly at each other will make you giggle after awhile
But back to my play. After watching the clip, I do think I need to trim the scene. Also the cowboy says "we's gonna have sex" twice and it's a bit much. I need to come up with something similar to "I'm gonna take you for a test drive." Another favorite bit: "operational ladyparts."
I was disappointed that I didn't get a reaction from the audience when Julia calls the movie clip she just saw "indescribable." I actually stole that line from "I, Claudius" where crazy, sporadically homocidal emperor Caligula, having just performed a goofy song and dance routine in drag, asks Claudius what he thought of the show. That scene can be viewed here - unfortunately the scene cuts off right before Caligula asks how Claudius liked it - but watch it anyway for John Hurt's amazing performance.
The only line that does get a laugh in this clip is when Buddy asks if Julia wants to play cowboy and Indian girl with him and she says "and then what, you give me smallpox and steal my land?" But I wasn't surprised. That gets a laugh every time.
Claire is an impressive actor, but so is Daniel and I was extreeemly impressed to see his performance in this bit from Sesame Street. That is the coolest thing ever, to me, to be on Sesame Street.
Daniel is the dancer wearing the business suit and shades. He slides into the camera at 1:12.
DAMN - I just realized that Alton Brown is in this clip too!

Animation techniques for controlling passive simulation are commonly based on an optimization paradigm: the user provides goals a priori, and sophisticated numerical methods minimize a cost function that represents these goals. Unfortunately, for multibody systems with discontinuous contact events these optimization problems can be highly nontrivial to solve, and many-hour offline optimizations, unintuitive parameters, and convergence failures can frustrate end-users and limit usage. On the other hand, users are quite adaptable, and systems which provide interactive feedback via an intuitive interface can leverage the user's own abilities to quickly produce interesting animations. However, the online computation necessary for interactivity limits scene complexity in practice. We introduce Many-Worlds Browsing, a method which circumvents these limits by exploiting the speed of multibody simulators to compute numerous example simulations in parallel (offline and online), and allow the user to browse and modify them interactively. We demonstrate intuitive interfaces through which the user can select among the examples and interactively adjust those parts of the scene that don't match his requirements. We show that using a combination of our techniques, unusual and interesting results can be generated for moderately sized scenes with under an hour of user time. Scalability is demonstrated by sampling much larger scenes using modest offline computations.

Everything For Football Presents The Largest Database Of Football Players And Events
Everything for Football is a startup launched to provide sports fans with the latest information about football players and events.
- February 14, 2022 —
The world of football is evolving at a rapid pace. The popularity of this sport is at an all-time high, and thousands of aspiring young athletes are joining the ranks of semi-professionals each day. Until recently, keeping track of all the events, cups, leagues, and players was a difficult job.
Everything for Football, an Argentinian startup, was launched to prove that it was possible to create a platform where sports fans could access every bit of players data and football information.
The EFF database is among the largest in existence; it offers free information regarding football leagues and cups, live results, transfers, market values and rankings.
In terms of European leagues and cups, Everything for Football covers UEFA Champions League, LaLiga, Premier League, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, WC Qualifications in Europe, and others. The platform also offers much information regarding South and North American cups and leagues, including Copa America, Liga Profesional de Fútbol, CONCACAF, MLS, and more big data.
By utilizing advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning technology, Everything for Football has developed an application that collects and analyzes data and information from thousands of events related to football around the world.
According to Yossi Moldawsky, managing partner at HomeRun Ventures, "Sports tech has been booming the past 24 months. From broadcasting technologies to improvements of athlete performances, all in a race to identify the next generation of technologies that would transform the way leagues, teams, athletes, broadcasters, and fans consume sports today."
Mauro Cauda, one of the founders of Everything for Football, agrees and adds that "the SportsTech industry has been growing exponentially, based on the use and analysis of data."
Mauro emphasizes that the Platform takes a different approach in comparison to standard and modern football analysis websites and is dedicated to providing the most comprehensive database possible, stating:
"Most of the platforms are in charge of registering and publishing information on elite players like Messi or Neymar, who are the most sought after, but who represent less than 1% of the players in the world. The technology behind Everything for Football treats all players equally, uses AI and machine learning to collect information from each event in different news, media, and social networks. It analyzes the data, goes through a validation process, transforms it into information, learns, and automatically generates content", says Mauro Cauda.
The Platform is available in six languages and twenty-five countries. It offers an API service to provide data to different third-party applications and developers, in addition to an eclectic catalog of Football Graphic Resources, including images of football clubs, competitions, associations, and confederations. Aside from regular updates on the website, Everything for Football shares the latest soccer news on its social media platforms.
More information about Everything for Football is available on the official website.

IDEAS proposes fresh approach to Shared Prosperity for Budget 2020
Kuala Lumpur, 19 September 2019 –Today, IDEAS has published a set of policy proposals to help make the vision of Shared Prosperity a reality. In response to growing concerns about income and wealth inequality, IDEAS advocates for new policies which will align workers' pay and company profits to ensure that prosperity can be shared whilst still maintaining robust economic growth.
In a Position Paper titled Making Shared Prosperity a Reality in Budget 2020, IDEAS put forward the following proposals:
A Living Wage Tax Credit. Under this proposal, employers will be incentivised – but not required – to increase wages beyond the Minimum Wage, up to a new Living Wage. Employers would be able to deduct 50% of the cost of a pay rise for every employee earning between RM1,100 and RM1,500 and 25% of the cost of the pay rise for every employee earning between RM1,500 and RM2,500. Under this proposal, employees will benefit from higher wages but business will retain the flexibility to respond to market conditions. The cost of increasing incomes for the lowest paid would be shared between employers and the taxpayers. IDEAS recommends that the scheme be introduced for a period of 5 years. IDEAS suggests this policy can be paid for through a rationalisation of investment incentives, which are currently being reviewed by the government.
Employee Equity Scheme. Under this proposal, employers will be incentivised to allocate shares to their employees, in order to promote broader distribution of wealth and to provide lower income households with new sources of income and savings. The proposal would enable employers to allocate up to RM10,000 of shares annual to each employee, tax free – currently the allocation of shares counts as gross income. Additionally, employees can choose to purchase up to RM5,000 of shares, which employers can choose to match – again, tax free. The tax free status of these shares will be conditional on employees not selling the shares for at least 5 years, to incentivise saving. Companies which achieve 10% or higher equity holding by employees will benefit from a 1% reduction in their corporate tax rate. IDEAS again suggests this policy can be paid for through a rationalisation of investment incentives, which are currently being reviewed by the government.
Capital Gains Tax. IDEAS recognises that the government's fiscal space is highly constrained at the tax base remains narrow. The abolition of GST has narrowed the tax base in Malaysia while the SST is insufficient to replace the lost revenue. Therefore, in the longer term, IDEAS proposes the Government should introduce a Capital Gains Tax (CGT), which is a tax on the profits made on the disposal of assets, including shares. IDEAS proposes an initial rate of 5% with a tax-free allowance of RM50,000 and exemptions on shares held in Amanah Saham Berhad. The details will need to be subject to further consideration and IDEAS recommends the Government should launch a consultation on the introduction of this new tax in Budget 2020.
Government Divestment Strategy. IDEAS acknowledges that the introduction of tax on capital gains will have implications for investment and there are also questions over the future sources of economic growth in Malaysia. IDEAS therefore proposes the Government initiates a Divestment Strategy to create space for new investment and stimulate local business development. The Government's shareholding among Publicly Listed Companies remains over 40% of total market capitalisation with majority stakes in over 70 companies. This high Government presence creates concerns over competition and the lack of liquidity in Malaysia's capital markets. IDEAS proposes the Government commit to a gradual divestment of its holdings to 10% of total market cap by 2030 with no majority shareholdings. The proceeds of this divestment should be reinvested in new markets to generate returns for the Malaysian people. Divested shares can be channelled to employees through the Employee Equity Schemes. IDEAS urges the Government should initiate a review of GLCs in Budget 2020 to form the basis of this Divestment Strategy,
Commenting on the proposals, IDEAS Research Director Laurence Todd said "We believe that these proposals could contribute to a bold new economic strategy for Malaysia – with higher pay, more equity for employees and new opportunities for investors. Of course we recognise there are clear trade-offs involved. The Government will have to accept a reduced role in the economy, and some business and individuals will have to accept new taxation on their Capital Gains – but we believe the net impact would be positive for Malaysia's economy. We hope the Government will consider these proposals as it prepares to table Budget 2020 next month."
These proposals were presented at a public forum today, hosted by IDEAS. Speaking at the event were YB Nik Nazmi MP Setiawangsa, Prof. Dr Jomo Kwame Sundaram, Research Advisor at Khazanah Research Institute and Dr Jeyakumar Devaraj, from Parti Sosialis Malaysia. YB Nik Nazmi welcomed the effort by IDEAS to present concrete proposals and said he would raise during these issues during the Budget Debates in Parliament. He commented that intra-ethnic inequality, particularly among Bumiputera needs to be urgently addressed. He also commented that the government should paly the role of regulating the market, and not running business directly. Prof Jomo called on the government to introduce counter-cyclical fiscal stimulus policy in the forthcoming Budget , in preparation for the global downturn. Prof Jomo called for more spending on healthcare and education. Dr Jeyakumar argued that the low wages in Malaysia do not reflect low productivity as is often claimed and called on ASEAN countries to work together to avoid a race to the bottom in tax rates and wages.
More information of the proposals put forward by IDEAS can be found here.

Home Money The Most Expensive car In The world 2021
Jessica Brice
For lovers of luxury cars, a specialized website has published a list of the most expensive cars around the world this year. And the "Motor One" website published the latest ranking of the list of the most expensive cars in the world today, and Bugatti had the lion's share of the number of models on this list.
The Most Expensive car In The world 2021, the site began with the car that ranked first, currently the most expensive car globally, the Bugatti La Voiture Noire, which costs $18.7 million. It is powered by an 8.0-litre W16 engine that produces 1,479 horsepower and 1,600 Nm of torque.
5. Bugatti Divo
In this car model, Bugatti made the Divo 77 pounds lighter than the Chiron. Though power is unchanged from the Chiron's 1,500 ponies (1,119 kilowatts),
Price: $5.8 Million
4. Mercedes-Maybach Exelero
Mercedes-Maybach Exelero
Mercedes built the Exelero after a Maybach and gave it the same twin-turbo V12 engine producing 690 horsepower (510 kilowatts) and 752 pound-feet (1,020 Newton-meters) of torque.
3. Bugatti Centodieci
It is hard to find another one riding a similar car to yours if you have Bugatti Centodieci. Limited to just 10 – dieci – units, the car is a modern throwback to the Bugatti EB110.
