A Yankees security official and former NYPD detective has been fired by the team over the theft of documents from the team's archive room.
One of Flannino's duties was to protect the archive room, where important team documents and other memorabilia from its long history are stored.
Flannino was well-known at the stadium, having worked at the ballpark and for the team over the course of nearly 20 years.
Exactly which items were involved in the case wasn't revealed in the newspaper's online story and police sources told the Daily News it was unlikely charges would be filed. The missing items have been returned.

Mancha Blanca ist eine Ortschaft der Gemeinde Tinajo im Inneren der Kanareninsel Lanzarote. In dem östlich des Nationalparks Timanfaya gelegenen Ort leben 760 Einwohner (Stand: 2011).

Geschichte
Mancha Blanca liegt unmittelbar am Rande der Lavafelder des Nationalparks Timanfaya. Der Ort wäre bei den Vulkanausbrüchen von 1730 bis 1736, und dem bisher letzten großen Ausbruch im Jahre 1824, als die Lava nur wenige Meter vor dem Ort erstarrte, mehrmals von den Lavaströmen fast überrollt worden.

Die Legende besagt, dass sich die Bevölkerung göttlichen Beistand mithilfe der Heiligenstatue Virgin de los Dolores (Jungfrau der Schmerzen) aus der Kirche San Rogue im benachbarten Tinajo holte. Mit ihr zogen sie in einer Prozession dem fließenden Lavastrom entgegen, der dann am 16. April 1736 am Berg Montaña de Guiguan stehenblieb und erstarrte.

Daraufhin versprachen die Bewohner der Gemeinde, der Madonnenfigur ein eigenes Gotteshaus zu errichten, das zunächst in Form einer kleinen Kapelle 1781 fertiggestellt war. Bei dem späteren und bisher letzten Vulkanausbruch im Jahre 1824 rettete die Virgin de los Dolores erneut Mancha Blanca vor den Lavamassen – so die Interpretation der Gläubigen. Die heutige Wallfahrtskirche, die Nuestra Señora de los Dolores, wurde 1862 endgültig für die Virgin de Los Dolores (Schutzpatronin von Lanzarote) errichtet.

Zum Dank der Rettung Mancha Blancas wird die Madonnenstatue jedes Jahr am 15. September in einer feierlichen Prozession von Tinajo zur Wallfahrtskirche in Mancha Blanca Ort getragen und ein großes Fest gefeiert. Dazu findet die Ofrenda a la Virgen, die Opfergabe an die Heilige statt.

Im Rahmen dieser Feierlichkeiten wird seit 1989 jährlich die Kunsthandwerkermesse Feria Insular de Artesania de Mancha Blanca veranstaltet, auf der Kunsthandwerk aller Kanarischen Inseln angeboten wird.

About Me - My Musical Journey!
Watch Bring Me The Horizon's Apocalyptic New Mental Video!!
British rock band, Bring Me The Horizon have just unleashed an insane nightmarish video, which was created by frontman, Oli Sykes and director, Frank Borin (has worked with The Vamps, 5 Seconds Of Summer). Its highlights include, zombies, a plane crash and asteriods...but I won't spoil all the fun! It must be seen to be believed, so watch this crazy gore fest and enjoy the new single, 'Follow You', taken from latest album, 'That's The Spirit'. Spoiler Alert...I think you have to admire the 'spirit' of the lead character in the video!
I think actually amongst all the carnage, it has a rather nice message about love! Although there are lots of interpretations and meanings here. I think we can all relate about getting lost in music, and not care what is going on in the world for that duration of the song, but this may over step the mark!! What do you think?!
On a side note: if you are a fan of gore or horror, you may like to check out my top Zombie Rock songs feature: http://carinasmusicreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/killer-zombie-rockmetal-songs.html

EX-HIM Frontman Ville Valo Reveals New Band & Album
Ex-HIM Frontman Ville Valo has announced his return to music with his new band, Ville Valo & Agents, with their debut single, a cover of Rauli Badding Somerjoki's 'Orpolapsi Kiurun'('Orphan Child Of The Skylark') to drop later this month on the 21st September, with an album to follow in 2019.
Ville has teamed up with Esa Pulliainen, guitarist with veteran Finnish band Agents, to record an album of songs inspired by late Finnish rock'n'roll singer Rauli Badding Somerjoki.
"This story begins three years ago," says Pulliainen, whose band played with Badding in the 80s. "Upon finding three demo cassettes in my drawer which had been sent to me by Badding back in the day, I knew I had to contact Ville right from the get-go. I was aware he knows his Badding inside out. I'm really happy that we were able to finalize this project. Badding meant for these songs to be recorded and even if it took us 30 years to make that happen, I feel I've kept my promise."
Badding is…

Like every long-time user of the Internet, email, and social media, I have more than two dozen active passwords.
Of course, it is a challenge to manage multiple passwords and I know I am not alone.
After experimenting with several trials of software and methods for password creation and security, ALTACITIES® has settled on DASHLANE®, largely because it is one of the programs in the genre that works well on all Apple/Mac platforms, the PC, and many smartphones and tablet devices, including Android and Nexus.
Online security worries build nearly as quickly as solutions to protect consumers' privacy. But still, many online businesses run behind in either adopting privacy practices – or they are early in adoption but don't make their privacy policies and solutions clear enough to gain consumers' trust.
The video links on YouTube and my library for instructional videos on ShowYou provide excellent overviews of DASHLANE ®.
"Aside from functionality, Dashlane® has a cleaner aesthetic and design, and is just simply easier to use. The usability factor with Dashlane means that everyone can utilize the features of the software without being overwhelmed by unnecessary technical jargon. Additionally, the usability of DASHLANE ® is seamless. All interactions with the software are inline, which means there are no clunky toolbars or extra steps that serve as obstructions to a user's online experience," said the DASHLANE® team, reports Kristina Knight of BIZREPORT.
Remember that your LOGIN password is the NOT the ONLY password that DASHLANE ® will NOT record and keep in memory. YOU MUST NEVER FORGET THIS PASSWORD. Of course, the same is true for the LOGIN password for your computer or other devices. What is the best way to keep and remember those two passwords, now that DASHLANE ® is helping you take care of remembering all of the others?
This user suggests that you create a moniker or USER NAME that is linked to a numerical configuration that is unique to you. For example, your USER NAME may be a nickname that was attributed to you in high school or college.
Perhaps the mascot name for your school. And the number(s) appended to that name could be related to your birthday or the birthday of a family member. You could also consider an anniversary date. These are just suggestions, so use your creativity to construct these two passwords in a way that is unforgettable. If you can prevent it, DO NOT WRITE DOWN or record these, unless you are keeping this information in a safe place.
Numerous programs and services claim to help us with the arduous task of password management. Few good ones are actually free, but when you find one that is and it also is available for both PC and Mac and for all Apple and Android devices (even mobile), then you have to give that product strong consideration. DASHLANE ® meets that criteria.
ALTACITIES® is interested in connections with organizations and individuals that have experience or intention to build social networks with a charitable intent. Also, we would like to hear from individuals who have a personal story to tell about survival after medical or physical issues have caused life-changing conditions. As a mantle cell lymphoma survivor with an SCT performed in 2007, Mike Foxworth and his wife, Dee Dee, have an affinity for those who have been through similar circumstances.

I'm mother to 7, wife of almost 30 years, sister, aunt, godparent, daughter, friend, teacher. Do these define me? Well, yes, up to a point. You don't do or be all these roles without being influenced by them and others defining you by them. But, I'm also just me. And 'me' sometimes becomes lost in all the other roles. My blog's about letting a bit of me out.
Happy mother's day, seven times over !
really enjoying your digital home s-momus… be well!
Hi – just came here from a comment you left on Linda's blog – I like your outlook momus!! 🙂 ~y.
Really love your blog…your poetry is lovely and your song choices great!
Thanks for the like. Sounds like 7 wonders of the world for you!!!
You're blog does make for quite an entertaining and interesting read. Definitely one of my favorites!
Awesome! You have a cool blog.
Glad to connect via D. Parker and her "Compassion never goes out of style" post. As a mom, and now grandmom of many, I look forward to reading more from you!
Terrific! Hope your weekend is lovely.
You have enlivened and encouraged my day today, Prateek. This message is most welcome after a difficult few days fighting my corner. There's truth in your words I needed to hear. Thank you.
You have moved me to tears, Prateek. I'd be honoured to inspire any words. My thanks seem repetitive but they are no less sincere.
I hope these precious ones are the good ones 😛 And I will be honoured to write for such a nice and intelligent person living in the opposite corner of the world. Its funny how we all share so much yet distinguish ourselves from each other.
I think that has to be one of the best bits about blogging, that we get to connect with people we might never otherwise meet and begin to understand more about our shared humanity. 'All Jock Tamson's bairns' as we say here.
oh wow! you write soo well 🙂 I am glad i paused by your blog..
Thank you kindly, Izza. God bless you too.
Hi there lovely lady, I have nominated you for The Premio Dardos Award! I bet you are quivering in excitement… or perhaps you might be hitting your head against a wall repeating the phrase "Not another award, not another award!" You don't have to accept this award, but I would love for you to pop over to my blog and come celebrate! There will be imaginary champagne, disco balls and a drumming cat! What more could one want? Hehe.
Aw, you're welcome. There's no pressure at all to accept, I understand how busy life gets. And you're very welcome. Thank YOU for inspiring!
I could not understand what you mean by 'Godparent'.
Inspite of all the attachments your blog stats are so good.
That shows how you are committed to anything and everything.
My husband found your blog first and directed me to you after reading this "about" page. As he said, my reason for writing is identical to yours. I need a space, a place I where don't get lost in anyone else but me. I like what I've browsed of yours so far and look forward to more!
And I you, Krysia. I'm chasing my tail this week and likely for a few more, with work, so I might not be around quite so much. Plans and report cards and blah, blah, blah. Neverending paperwork keeping me up to all hours.

If you're good enough you're old enough

New Zealand's 2012 Super Squads named: Haskell one of five foreign imports
Otago's very own South African captain gets them home
New Zealand's Rugby Week
Quotes from Gary Gold
Friday action
In about 1994 I was at Carisbrook on game duty for the Otago Rugby Union. That sounds more impressive than it actually was, in reality I was simply there because the team I was coaching then was playing in the curtainraiser to the main game. The main game that day was New Zealand Secondary School Boys versus England Secondary School Boys. Because the match day official saw me floating around after our game he cornered me and said "Quick mate I need a hand … help us out!" He then proceeded to throw me the keys to the teams dressing rooms and said "When the referee comes out knock on the team doors and get them out then lock the dressing room doors behind them". No big deal on the face of it but I will always remember what happened next. Upon getting the English team out and their door locked behind them. I went to do the same with the New Zealand side. As I opened the door a schoolboy stood in the doorway, a schoolboy like I had never seen before –that schoolboy was Jonah Lomu. He was as big then as he seemed later in his career an absolute giant of a kid that not only took that game by the scruff of its neck but just about every other game he played from that point on.
The young Lomu quickly established himself as a household name with the New Zealand public as he rose to fame on the New Zealand Sevens circuit before being fast tracked into the full national side.
I remember at the time the popular opinion was that he was too young and should be left to develop and mature not only as a player but also as a person.
However that was then and this is now.
Last year's New Zealand Under 20 side (that lost to South Africa in the final) has already had a few players snapped up for Super Rugby contracts – the captain Bryn Hall will be under the tutelage of Sir John Kirwin at the Blues while young centre Jason Emery, I am pleased to report will ply his trade for the next three seasons in Dunedin with the Highlanders.
Yesterday, however another young man signed a Super Rugby contract here in New Zealand. He was in his last year at school last year. Since then he has not let the rugby grass grow under his feet. This year he has played senior club rugby in Wellington playing all three back-row positions as well as on the wing (mainly because his coach thought that he may need to manage his workload with grown men). He has played for the New Zealand Sevens team and is just now bringing the curtain down on what has been a truly stand-out season of ITM Cup rugby (where in my opinion he has been the best, yes the best player on show). All this and he is still only 18 years old. This weekend he will turn 19 and I am sure when his big brother comes around for lunch he will have stories of what it is like being a young man in an All Black jersey. Big brother is Julian Savea the Hurricanes and All Black winger. The player that has been turning heads for a while now is Julian's little brother Ardie Savea. Ardie has played openside flanker this year in the ITM Cup for the Wellington Lions and it looks like Mark Hammett has designs on him continuing to develop his game there next season with the Hurricanes but don't rule out a shift to the backs like a certain Jonah Lomu at the same age that played No. 8 (a position Ardie Savea is also comfortable).
Ardie Savea is quality folks, remember the name.
Last night I heard a guy say "Gee with McCaw on sabbatical next year who is going to step into the breach". I laughed to myself because I think I heard the same guy say the same thing when Michael Jones was coming to the end of his career before Josh Kronfeld stepped up. Then he said it about Kronfeld before McCaw and now he is saying it about McCaw. I wouldn't take bets against him saying the same thing about Savea in 10 years' time.
I wish you well in the coming years and like a talented young man that was about your age when I first saw him back in 1994 – I still hold to the old adage of…. 'If you're good enough you're old enough'.
Congratulations on your Super Rugby contract Ardie Savea and happy 19th birthday.

Super talent is young Ardie Savea. Hopefully he'll take to the game like his older brother has

Jeepers, they just keep getting younger and younger! The Franks brothers, the Whitelock brothers and soon the Savea brothers. And to think he still has 2 years u20 left!!

Naked Lunch author William S. Burroughs
William S. Burroughs is one of The Scribbler's staple authors. To read his work is to understand our mission. Which is why we were so excited to hear about a discussion forum taking place this weekend on the famed beat author.
The Last Tuesday Society, of 11 Mare Street London, hosts Oliver Harris, Professor of American Literature at Keele University for a night entitled: William S. Burroughs and the Torso Murderer.
Burroughs once wrote: "…in this life we have to take things as we find them as the torso murderer said when he discovered his victim was a quadruple amputee."
To coincide with the publication of a new, 25th-anniversary edition of Burroughs' second novel Queer, Harris has finished reediting the early trilogy of novels preceding the notorious Naked Lunch.
The story behind Queer starts in the early 50s in Mexico City when the fledgling author and heroin addict, accidentally shot and killed his wife, Joan, in a drunken re-enactment of William Tell. The experience served as a catalyst awakening a creativity which produced the masterpieces The Naked Lunch and The Soft Machine.
This week's talk follows a trail of evidence from letters, manuscripts, photographs, Shakespearean references, Plato, pulp publishers, vaudeville acts, and a torso murderer (a reference to the infamous Cleveland Torso Murders of the 30s which were investigated by the same police officer who successfully convicted Al Capone).
Burroughs was hailed by Norman Mailer, novelist, journalist and innovator of the non-fiction narrative, as "The only American novelist living today who may conceivably be possessed by genius."
Over the years Burroughs' work has been a major influence by musicians and artists like Lou Reed, Joy Division, Tom Waits, Nick Cave and Kurt Cobain. Oliver Harris is the author of seven books and several articles on the Beatnik writer. He has also edited Burroughs' early trilogy of novels for Penguin Books including Junkie and Queer.
Buy tickets for the William S. Burroughs and the Torso Murderer talk on November 19 at The Last Tuesday Society here >>
Watch a trailer for the new film William S. Burroughs: A Man Within below:
Will you be attending the Torso Murderer talk? Do you feel Burroughs is rightly labelled as one of the most influential writers of the 20th Century? Favourite book? Go on…tell us.

Burroughs paints London town poppy red
William Burroughs, author of cult classic The Naked Lunch and opium addict, is having some of his work put on show in two London exhibitions this December.
The tenth anniversary of the legendary writer, filmmaker and artist's death will be marked by a public display of some of his previously unseen artworks.
Burrough's first show will appear at the Riflemaker gallery in Soho. The exhibition, opening 9 December, will comprise over 100 abstract works the author painted on the inside of manila folders while he was penning some of his classic novels like The Naked Lunch and The Soft Machine.
Samples of this work leaked into the public sphere some two years ago and caused quite a stir, making December's exhibition a much anticipated event for fans. What makes the display more unique is this will be the first time anywhere in the world that the complete collection of abstracts has been showcased.
Since his death in 1997 the works have been lying almost undiscovered in his Lawrance home in Kansa. During the last decade workers have been cataloguing the artist's collections and this is the first to come out of their hard work.
Tot Taylor, director of the Riflemaker gallery, said: "The file-folders come from his bedroom. He was always thinking of different things. He would file his notes in the folders and paint the insides according to how the writings could be envisaged in art. The paintings are very beautiful, some are soothing; some are psychotic. The Burroughs estate is working slowly through his things, and these files have only recently come to light.
"Burroughs has been hugely influential among musicians because of his don't-give-a-damn attitude. He was proud to be like that and was the originator of the Beatnik movement, which was hugely influential."
The father of Beatnik's London outing doesn't stop there though. Starting 16 December at GSK Contemporary, Royal Academy, a collection of unseen films will be aired from their reel tins for the first time as well as other works.
Footage of the writer caught on camera reading his work will accompany portraits of the counter-culture icon by painters like David Hockney, and collaborations between the multi-talented Burroughs and other artists.
David Thorp, curator of GSK Contemporary said the show would inspire younger artists by demonstrating just how important he was to his own generation of artists.
"He was hugely influential as a presence with value outside the mainstream. He stands for something that is iconoclastic and anti-establishment in a romantic but robust way."
For the diary:
'Life-File: The Private File-Folders of William S Burroughs' is at Riflemaker from 9 December 'Burroughs Live' forms part of GSK Contemporary at the Royal Academy from 16 December
Below is a snippet from a documentary wherein Burroughs discusses his time in London and his famed method of writing, 'cut up'. Rest assured The Scribbler will explore Burroughs' artistic techniques in much greater detail in the near future:

Stoner ghosts of santa monica
By karen karlitz
Henry Davis kicks the bucket at a Los Angeles hospital. Unlike Elvis who has left the building, Henry's still there and aware of everything around him, including his toxic ex-wife's hookup attempt with his doctor. So begins Henry's stint in the spirit world.
Contrary to what Hollywood would have us believe, the dead don't wear white sheets or sport human bodies. They have the outline of a body and face similar to their own and are covered with silvery transparent scales. They come and go as they please, but only spirits can see or hear other spirits. It's a good thing, too, because they look like something you might see on a bad LSD trip.
Having come of age in '60s and '70s New York City, Henry quickly discovers he can get high by inhaling the second-hand smoke of the living potheads at the Santa Monica apartment building he inhabits. Much of this imbibing takes place at the pool.
Whether hitching a ride on the back of an oblivious surfer's bike, helping his deceased buddy in apartment 105 find a dead mate in T.J. Maxx or stowing aboard a cruise ship to Cabo, Henry navigates the afterlife with heart and humor, encountering a diverse bunch of characters from both worlds.
"Stoner Ghosts of Santa Monica" is an optimistic spin on the afterlife, a place where fun, love, creativity and friendship flourish. It is a story of people who are dead, but party on.

Definition - What does Tube Body mean?
A tube body refers to the full length of a drill pipe. A strong drill pipe is essential to a successful drilling project due to the various loads and stresses that are endured during drilling. There are three general manufacturing processes for drill pipes: one piece forged, inertia welded, and press fit and welded.
One piece forged tube bodies are made out of a single piece of material and then heated for the forge and upsetting process. They are one piece of material, including the threads and mid-body.
Inertia welded drill pipes are manufactured from three pieces of material: the mid-body and two threaded ends or tool joints. The welding process creates no melted material and is actually done by holding the mid-body tube stationary and spinning the threaded ends or tool joints. The ends are spun to a specified speed and then pressed together with a calculated weight.
Press fit and welded type pipes are also manufactured from three pieces of material. The pieces are pressed together and then mig welded.
All tube types then go through a final forging, heat treatment and other finishing processes to ensure the tube body is free of all defects.

£8.3m renovation for Preston Bus Station
Simon Donohue
Ownership of Preston's controversial bus station is to pass to Lancashire County Council, paving the way for £8.3m in improvements to the grade 2-listed structure.
Current owner Preston City Council had proposed demolishing the Brutalist bus station, citing its poor condition and high running costs.
Campaigners secured listed status for the bus station earlier this year after a protracted battle.
The change of ownership and investment plans are subject to agreement at the councils' cabinet meetings on 5 December.
Keeping the building in public ownership, allowing Lancashire County Council as transport authority to invest in the building and improve facilities for passengers, as well as easing Preston City Council's financial situation are all key aspects of the deal.
Cllr Peter Rankin, leader of Preston City Council, said: "This is the best possible outcome for Preston and Lancashire, as the bus station is an important transport hub for the county.
"The deal will put to rest any doubt whatsoever over Preston Bus Station. The building's future will be 100% guaranteed. In fact, the county council will be able to invest in the building to improve the facilities for the thousands of people that use it every day. We have always wanted a bus station fit for the 21st century. The transfer will take us towards that goal.
"This, I know, will be very much welcomed by the people of Preston. So too will the fact that the city council will no longer have to find the money to run the building which, given the savage budget cuts imposed on Preston, was a significant financial strain for the city council. Lancashire County Council simply has the scale, expertise and resources to manage such a large building.
"I've always understood people's passion for Preston Bus Station and can see why many people want to keep it. Our past decision to demolish was purely a financial one. As a city council, we couldn't afford to either invest or indeed keep the building open.
"I am both relieved and delighted that the county council is set to take the building on and secure the future of Preston Bus Station for the people of Preston and Lancashire."
Preston City Council took an in principle decision to demolish Preston Bus Station in December 2012.
Lancashire County Council had set aside £8.3m in its capital programme to spend on a new bus station in Preston.
That money will now be used to improve the existing bus station building.
Great news. But couldn't this have been negotiated in the first place? Would have saved a lot of heartburn.

Heather Wheeler MP, Homelessness Minister, visited our Solihull Youth Hub on Thursday 10th May. The Solihull Youth Hub launched a year ago and is based on the same model as our Birmingham Youth Hub. It is a partnership with Solihull Council and Solihull Community Housing and is the key service preventing youth homelessness in Solihull with advice, support and referrals to appropriate accommodation where needed, including our own scheme in Solihull.
Heather Wheeler's visit was a fact finding mission to talk to our team who have been providing prevention and relief services to young people in Solihull since May 2017 as required by the new Homelessness Reduction Act which came into force last month. It was also to understand how the Positive Pathway model, which we have championed nationally, works in practice. Heather Wheeler MP met St Basils' team, colleagues from Housing and Children's Services from Solihull Council as well as the CEO of Solihull Community Homes and local partners.
The Positive Pathway is a flexible framework for local authorities and their partners to provide a planned approach to homelessness prevention and housing for young people. It ensures public service commissioners and providers work together in planning and delivering services for young people recognising that safe, decent and affordable housing underpins achievement of other positive outcomes - in education, training, employment, health and safer communities.
Therefore the Minister also heard from Mary Quinton from University of Birmingham about the My Strengths Training for Life (MST4Life) programme delivered to young people receiving St Basils services and talked with a young person about the impact this had on her in helping boost her confidence and self-belief, building the mental resilience needed to pursue her education, training and employment goals.
Jean Templeton, Chief Executive of St Basils said: "We were delighted to welcome the Minister and to provide evidence of how critical partnership working is in preventing youth homelessness at the earliest possible stage".

Backup Data - Savvy computer users are aware of the value of keeping the data safe and far from internet reliability attacks and regularly accomplish back ups. You can certainly regress to something easier your data by using an external data merrill datasite storage unit this sort of is DISC, memory stick or exterior hard drive. Smartphone you use depends on the data size. The overall thought is that if anything occurs your principal info, you can often retrieve them via somewhere.
File sharing- An additional incredibly important issue to come to be prevented is data files with unknown people. This may make your personal computer net security prone as the data files type various other computer users may contain destructive infections that without a great anti virus internet protection can potentially damage your laptop or computer or perhaps rob very sensitive info.

New York, NY, July 8, 2004 -- ACM SIGGRAPH will award its 2004 Significant New Researcher Award to Zoran Popović for his outstanding and highly promising contributions to computer animation. In his much-cited first paper at SIGGRAPH 95, Popović demonstrated the potential for editing human motion data. His ideas stimulated further research and have made their way into industry applications.
Popović has published numerous papers on the synthesis of motion from captured data, parameter extraction, control systems for animations, skeletal animation of deformable characters, and deformations driven by range scan data. Many of these papers reflect collaborations with students not previously published, a testament to his ability to work cooperatively with other researchers.
Throughout his work Popović has shown that combining measured data with simulation will simplify the production of convincing synthetic motion. He has also addressed a long standing problem in computer animation, the ability for animators to obtain more expressive control of motion. For example, three of his papers at SIGGRAPH 2003 focused on providing the user with control over animated motion in very different domains: keyframe control of smoke simulation; control of bird flight; and acting with props to produce character animation.
An assistant professor at the University of Washington, Popović received a Sc.B in computer science from Brown University and earned his MS and PhD at Carnegie Mellon University. He receives his award at SIGGRAPH 2004, August 8-12, at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, CA.


Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom- It stumbles but eventually gets up!
The Jurassic World Theme Park has been closed for four years to the public but the dinosaurs thrive on Isla Nublar without paying onlookers. Owen (Chris Pratt) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) return to the island when a volcano threatens to end all life there. Owen is especially concerned about Blue, the raptor he bonded within the last Jurassic edition.
While saving the prehistoric creatures from a threat from nature, Owen and Claire learn of manmade threats to destroy the animals completely and another which would exploit them for financial gain.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom struggles to develop underlying plotlines when the entire purpose of these films is to showcase the dinosaurs. The stories are weak, predictable and plagued by a number of "coming out of nowhere rescues" by both humans and creatures.
Returning stars, Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, add stability and familiarity to the film. But among the human cast, the real star is young Isabella Sermon, who plays Maisie Lockwood, whose grandfather, Benjamin helped create the dinosaur-cloning technology. Isabella is amazing!
For cast diversity, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom gets a B+. One of the featured stars, in addition to Pratt and Howard, is a young black actor, Justice Smith playing Franklin, a nerdy, easily frightened, computer tech. There are also other people of color in supporting and minor roles.
Ultimately, the Jurassic Park Series is about the special effects and the Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom doesn't disappoint. And that's enough to garner a "See It!" rating.
The film is PG-13 for intense sequences of science-fiction violence and peril and is 129 minutes in length.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom also hints at the next film in the series.
A film critic for over 20 years, T. A. Moreland, also produced and hosted a film review television program in New York City for four years.
Moreland wrote for The New York Amsterdam News, The Harlem World Magazine and a Harlem Critic Blog on World Press. His reviews have appeared in USAtoday.com and international publications: interceder.net and www.newstin.com. Similarly, he provided commentary on the entertainment industry for Essence magazine and BET.
Moreover, T.A. Moreland's description of the 2008 film "Valkyrie" as a "True Life Mission Impossible" was prominently featured and was the lead quote in the nationwide and international ad campaign for the film starring Tom Cruise.
A prolific writer, T.A. Moreland has written three screenplays and numerous television treatments.
T.A. Moreland resides in Harlem and is an attorney who specializes in energy and economic development issues. He holds a B.A. from Indiana University in Bloomington, Juris Doctorate from the University of Dayton, and Masters from the University of Pennsylvania.

Ms. Douglas gives one of the most passionate and powerful responses regarding the state of urban youth and families in 1990s America. In the film, her character recognizes that she has lost one son to the streets and she plans to do whatever she can to save her second child. Although Ms. Douglas is not a mother, she is clear that we should never give up on our children.

"NASCAR and the Examination of the Impact of Fan Spending on Sparta Kentucky" by Paula Upright, Darren Smith et al.
Before and since the completion of the Kentucky Speedway in June of 2000, the owners of the track have attempted to get a NASCAR Sprint Cup race, which is the highest level of competition in the sport. Before the track opened, track personnel were successful in securing Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA), Indy Racing League (IRL), and a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series races. The Sprint Cup series race could not be secured prior to 2011. The previous owners filed a lawsuit against NASCAR and International Speedway Corporation alleging violation of the Sherman Act in the conspiracy in restraint of trade and attempting to create a monopoly. (Kentucky Speedway v. NASCAR and ISC, 2008) The federal court dismissed the case with prejudice in favor of NASCAR & ISC. In 2008, Bruton Smith, owner of Speedway Motorsports Inc. (SMI), purchased the track.
SMI immediately began to update the track to accommodate the magnitude of a NASCAR Sprint Cup race. Smith estimated spending in excess of 100 million dollars bringing the track up to expectations and standards of Sprint Cup race events (Gibson, Smith, et.al., 2011). Additionally, the state of Kentucky estimates that prior to the Sprint Cup race in July of 2011 it had spent several million dollars expanding interstate 71 in both directions in order to handle the additional inflow of traffic on race day. These investments inspired the researchers to evaluate impacts of fan spending on the local economy as well as local, state and federal taxes.

Bluesky Aerial Photography used to Map Green Roofs
Bluesky International Ltd, the UK's leading aerial survey and mapping company, has supplied its high-resolution photography to support a new artificial intelligence platform created by technology start-up Gentian. The platform will map green infrastructure with the aim to identify where biodiversity can increase in UK cities.
Using 12.5-centimetre resolution imagery from Bluesky, Gentian has developed an advanced workflow based on Machine Learning algorithms, which automatically identifies and records the number of buildings with green roofs. Gentian is helping local authorities explore the capacity of new developments and enhance the value of existing properties in a bid to mitigate the loss of biodiversity and the negative impacts of climate change, reduce flooding and improve air quality.
"Green infrastructure is an essential tool in the war against climate change, reduced biodiversity and the health impacts of air pollution and rising temperatures in our cities," commented Thomas Fenal, co-founder and Chief Technical Officer of Gentian. "In terms of green roofs, other benefits include building insulation, rainfall absorption and, if accessible or visible, boosts for well-being and even property prices.
"However, unlike other types of green infrastructure, such as parks and open spaces, the use of roof space has been somewhat ad-hoc," continued Fenal. "Using the Bluesky photography we now have a highly detailed and highly accurate view of this underutilised resource. We can benchmark where a city currently is, both in terms of extent and quality of green roofs, and we can identify potential properties for retrofit projects."
Ralph Coleman, Director of Sales at Bluesky, added: "It is always interesting to see the different ways our imagery can be used, and, at a time when NetZero is on everyone's lips, it is good to see companies like Gentian using our products and incorporating them into new technology initiatives that aim to have a positive impact on our environment. I certainly think we will see more and more use cases of our products in environmental projects as we move towards the UK's NetZero targets and deadlines."
Using the Bluesky 12.5cm multispectral imagery, which includes the familiar RGB (Red Green Blue) bands as well as Near Infrared band that provides a unique insight into the state and health of vegetation, Gentian has already completed a pilot project in London and a project for the Greater Manchester Combined Authority.
Bluesky is the only company to have current, high-resolution, full coverage of the Republic of Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales, which it maintains on a rolling, three-year update cycle. Bluesky has also upgraded its national flying programme to a minimum 12.5-centimetre resolution with urban areas now being captured at 5cm resolution simultaneously with LiDAR and oblique imagery. The photography, together with height data, Ordnance Survey map products and the National Tree Map, is available to view and download from Bluesky's online Mapshop.

Ernst Kasimir Friedrich Karl Eberhard, greve til Lippe-Biesterfeld (født 9. juni 1842 i Oberkassel ved Düsseldorf, død 26. september 1904) var greve-regent af Lippe 1897-1904. Han var søn af greve Julius af Lippe-Biesterfeld.

Grev Ernst var en af hovedpersonerne i den lippeske arvefølgestrid. I 1897 lykkedes det Ernst at blive regent for den sindssyge fyrst Karl Alexander af Lippe. Derimod blev slægten Lippe-Biesterfelds arveret til Lippe først anerkendt året efter, at Ernst var død.

Morrow Manor Groundbreaking Ceremony
On September 9th numerous members of our club along with representatives from the YWCA of Kitsap County and City of Poulsbo met to break ground for Morrow Manor.
Here are two sections from the story reported in the North Kitsap Herald.
"The upcoming site preparation for Morrow Manor was celebrated Sept. 9. The work is expected to begin in October. When completed, the four townhouse duplexes — set amidst alders, cedars and firs near Noll Road and Mesford Street — will provide a safe and nurturing place for survivors of domestic violence to rebuild their lives."
"Morrow Manor will be owned by the YWCA of Kitsap County. One acre of the site will be developed into a park, which will be deeded to the city. The park will feature a sculpture of Eli Creekmore, a young boy who died because of domestic violence; his life and death drive his aunt Ardis Morrow's work to develop housing solutions for domestic violence survivors, and to ensure they are better protected by the law. Morrow Manor is named in her honor."

Book Review: Survive the Dome by Kosoko Jackson – Rage and Hope Come Together in a Story of Resistance and Police Brutality
February 22, 2022 February 22, 2022 CW @ The Quiet Pond1 Comment
Jamal Lawson just wanted to be a part of something. As an aspiring journalist, he packs up his camera and heads to Baltimore to document a rally protesting police brutality after another Black man is murdered.
But before it even really begins, the city implements a new safety protocol…the Dome. The Dome surrounds the city, forcing those within to subscribe to a total militarized shutdown. No one can get in, and no one can get out.
Alone in a strange place, Jamal doesn't know where to turn…until he meets hacker Marco, who knows more than he lets on, and Catherine, an AWOL basic-training-graduate, whose parents helped build the initial plans for the Dome.
As unrest inside of Baltimore grows throughout the days-long lockdown, Marco, Catherine, and Jamal take the fight directly to the chief of police. But the city is corrupt from the inside out, and it's going to take everything they have to survive.
I received a digital advanced readers copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Survive the Dome feels like a breathing manifestation of the emotions felt in the aftermath of George Floyd's murder in May 2020. Rage, frustration, anxiety, and pain simmer across the story, held together by a fierce hope in which a queer Black boy saves the city. The story follows Jamal, a Black queer teen journalist who attends a Black Lives Matter protest – against the wishes of his mother – but gets trapped in the city when a large technological dome forms around Baltimore proper. With nowhere to go, Jamal crosses paths with Marco, a mysterious Latino teen hacker, Jamal becomes intertwined with the resistance inside – and becomes instrumental to the fight against corruption and abuse of power.

Book Review: Squire by Sara Alfageeh and Nadia Shammas – A Brilliant Interrogation of Heroism, Imperialism and Power, Set in an Alternate History Middle-East
February 13, 2022 February 13, 2022 CW @ The Quiet PondLeave a comment
Aiza has always dreamt of becoming a Knight. It's the highest military honor in the once-great Bayt-Sajji Empire, and as a member of the subjugated Ornu people, Knighthood is her only path to full citizenship. Ravaged by famine and mounting tensions, Bayt-Sajji finds itself on the brink of war once again, so Aiza can finally enlist in the competitive Squire training program.
It's not how she imagined it, though. Aiza must navigate new friendships, rivalries, and rigorous training under the unyielding General Hende, all while hiding her Ornu background. As the pressure mounts, Aiza realizes that the "greater good" that Bayt-Sajji's military promises might not include her, and that the recruits might be in greater danger than she ever imagined.
Aiza will have to choose, once and for all: loyalty to her heart and heritage, or loyalty to the Empire.
I read Squire thinking it would be a story about knighthood and heroism. In a way, Squire is about those two things, but it was also, unexpectedly yet to my delight, so much more. Set in alternate history Middle East, Squire follows Aiza, a young girl of the fictional Ornu people who dreams of becoming a Knight for the Bayt-Sajji Empire – not only for the glory of it, but also because it will offer a path to full citizenship. Hiding her Ornu background, Aiza enlists to become a Squire, but discovers that the 'greater good' promised by military is not at all what she initially believed.

Akron DSA Strike Support for Kellogg's Workers Graphic
"If you're affiliated with that group up the road, can you get them to bring Bernie out?" a striking worker asked me as snow pellets bounced off my glasses on a blustery December Saturday. I don't usually get the chance to talk about deer season and the desire to apparate Bernie at the same event. Like any group of American workers, you'll find a wide variety of politics amongst the workers on the BCTGM Local 3g picket line outside Kellog's flagship plant in Battle Creek, Michigan. You'll also find a strong sense of solidarity throughout the community, and an appreciation for those of us willing to join their fight to keep "the best jobs in town" available for young and future workers. They were happy a statement of support from Joe Biden tanked Kellogg's stock prices on December 10th. They were happy Redditors spammed Kellogg's job application site, interfering with the company's attempts to hire scabs to permanently replace them. They were even happy to see a DSA member from Ohio who had made the windy drive up to hear their stories on Southwest Michigan DSA's Day of Solidarity (which included every Michigan DSA Chapter).
"If you're affiliated with that group up the road, can you get them to bring Bernie out?"
Even before the pandemic, working in the Kellogg's plant was not for the faint of heart. Workers told me about the tradeoffs they made willingly: it's a hard job with long hours and plenty of people get hurt, but if you stuck with it you knew you could provide for your family for life. The entire community is threatened by Kellogg's hiring an increasing number of "transitional" employees: workers hired after 2015 (currently 30% of plant workers) who have lower pay and fewer benefits. These workers were promised but not given a path to better compensation, creating a tiered system meant to erode the union and save Kellogg's money. Kellogg's experienced record sales during the pandemic and CEO Steve Cahillane made over $11 million in 2020. To create all this value, Kellogg's workers were compelled to work 12+ hour days, 7 days a week. Everyone I spoke to had regrets over missing family time. As we traded stories of workplace Covid outbreaks over a burn barrel, I was shocked to hear that the Kellogg's workers' experience of forced overtime sounded a lot like being locked in the plant at the end of your shift. The injustices of capitalism are laid bare in these experiences, yet workers are troubled that the company has a larger platform and that people will believe management's claims that the workers are being greedy. Nothing could be further from the truth. These workers fed us throughout the pandemic, and they are asking to be treated fairly.
Kellogg's has walked away from the bargaining table after the worker's voted down their latest lackluster offer, so the strike continues. There are ways to support these and other strikes from afar. While important and appreciated, for socialists, there's nothing like visiting the picket line. Yes, I was apprehensive about driving 4 hours each way alone in the winter to go stand in inclement weather with strangers. However, this was very little effort compared to the fortitude these workers have been showing on the line day and night since October 5 as a multibillion dollar corporation attacks them every way it can. For socialists to win, we must show workers our solidarity is heartfelt and unwavering. When we embrace joining workers in their fights, we open ourselves to recognizing our shared experiences. This fosters the trust it will take to build a fighting labor movement to win socialism. I suspect we could all use a little more inspiration running through our blood. Bernie will be holding a rally in Battle Creek December 17 at 3PM. Can I count on you to join DSA on the picket line soon too?

At 65 he's the only cowboy in Wallasey, and he has 9 grand children. When he was 7 his mum bought him a cowboy hat and took him to see a John Wayne movie. He's been a cowboy ever since, but he's never been to America. His ambition is to live out his remainding days in California, with the cowboys.
Cowboy John. Nice image of him. He was the original Adam Ant dressed as a dandy CowboyI( instead of Highway man) cleaning windows I used to see him alot and then he disappeared seen him about in Wallasey Village recently though.


Freya, for whom the F in TGIF is named, is the Norse goddess of beauty, love, fertility and, on the odd occasion, battle and death. Not to be confused with Frigg, the goddess of marriage, who prefers gauche-white limousines, Freya often goes traveling in a chariot hitched to a team of cats — when she isn't riding on a golden-bristled boar. Cat lovers contend that Freya rolls out her cats and chariot in the service of love and fertility, reserving the pig for fewer savory occupations. What's more, say Norwegian forest cat fanciers, the cats providing the horsepower for Freya's runabout are the mythological antecedents of the Norwegian forest cat.
The rough winters of Norway nurtured the forest cat's vitality, resourcefulness, and sensible, semi-long, water-repellent coat. In order to master his trying domain, the Wegie was also obliged to develop a diehard, constitutional resilience to the harsh, wet climate that rewards the survivors of one winter by allowing them the opportunity to survive another.
Some observers theorize that forest cats are the products of fraternization between shorthaired cats brought to Norway from England by the Vikings 1,000 years ago and longhaired cats imported by the Crusaders in the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries. Others challenge the notion that Crusaders returned from their missionary endeavors with any cats. Still, others assert that Norwegian Vikings, who reigned havoc on the coasts of Europe and beyond from the 8th to the 10th centuries, kept forest cats as mousers and pets. Some of these cats were introduced to the lands toured by the Vikings, thus helping to an extent to restore the balance of trade with those lands. The Vikings' talent for disseminating cats is credited by some for the presence of semiferal longhair cats in places such as Normandy and the North Atlantic coastal regions of the United States.
Whatever the forest cat's origin the earliest references to cats that resemble today's Wegies are found in Norwegian folk tales that were gathered and recorded between 1837 and 1852. Another reference to the Norwegian Forest Cat occurs in Norwegian author Gabriel Scott's Sølvfaks, a popular children's book published in 1912. The central character in Sølvfaks (silver fox) is a Norwegian forest cat of the same name.
For all but the last 20 years or so the Norwegian Forest Cat has been a prophet without pulpit — or papers — in Norway. The Wedgie was left to his considerable devices outdoors while those two-legged Norwegians who succumbed to the spell of the show ring sought the indoor company of Persians, Siamese and other members of the pedigreed fraternity. There had been a few desultory attempts to promote forest cats — a red-and-white Norwegian male was shown in Norway in 1930, and a Norwegian Forest Cat club was started in 1938 — but World War II plowed these tender shoots under and kept the breed from blossoming for several decades.
To make a worsening situation worse yet, continued postwar breeding between forest cats and shorthair hauskatts, the equivalent of our free-ranging domestic felines, almost stopped the Wegie's progress cold. Short hair being dominant over long, breedings between shorthair and longhair cats will produce only shorthair kittens, unless the shorthair parent is carrying the recessive gene for long hair.
The FIFe board of directors must have agreed. They voted to admit Wegies to the ranks of pedigreed cats eligible to compete for the greater honor and glory of their owners at cat shows. When Nordane returned in triumph to Oslo the following night, flags were flying, music was blaring and 40 cars' worth of Norwegian Cat Fancy Council members were conducting a joyous, horn-honking line dance.
Two years to the month after its November 1977 anointment by FIFe, the Norwegian forest cat arrived in the United States. Sixteen months later (March 29, 1981) the first Norwegian litter born in this country was delivered. By 1984 the Norwegian Forest Cat was accepted for championship competition by the first of several North American cat-registering associations. Today it is eligible to compete in the shows of all cat registries here.
Since it was given the keys to the pedigree-cat club's lounge two decades ago in Europe, the Skogkatt, as the Wegie is known in the land of its birth, has traveled from footnote to spotlight. Referred to as a "living national cultural monument" by many of its fans — and declared "the hottest breed in America's cat fancy" by a Chicago Tribune writer five years ago — the Norwegian forest cat is a tactile pleasure as well as a visual and temperamental delight.
According to Norse folklore, there was once a Norwegian Forest Cat so heavy that the fearsome Thor — the mighty god of thunder, the Bad, Bad Leroy Brown of all the gods — could not lift the prodigious feline. Whether or not Thor could lift a Norwegian forest cat, it's safe to say he couldn't resist petting one.
A person would expect that a cat reputed to have helped pull the goddess Freya's chariot would be a splendid creation, and the Norwegian forest cat does not disappoint. Known as the Wegie to his American friends — and as the Skogkatt in his native land — the Norwegian forest cat is a moderately long, heavy-boned creature that carries a double coat: a long, smooth outer garment arrayed with oily guard hairs; and a dense, cottony undercoat. This is a coat obviously meant to protect the cat inside it from the great outdoors. It is also a coat that warrants twice weekly brushing. Baths, which give the Wegie an opportunity to demonstrate its water-resistant coat — are determined by the amount of oil that coat exudes.
The Norwegian Forest Cat has medium to large ears, slightly rounded at the tip, and set as much on the side of the head as on the top. The ears are upright, alert and arched forward. Ear furnishings are heavy, and lynx tips, though "desirable," do not constitute a fault by their absence.
Finally, a video Petco does right.
When I got my cat he just hid under the couch all day..
I WILL BE GETTING A CAT IN THE FUTURE! I LOVE KITTEHS!!
DONT FEED YOUR CAT MILK UNLESS THEY ARE KITTENS! IF THE CATS ARE LARGER THEN KITTENS, MILK IS UNHEALTHY FOR THEM.
I am moving into a house in September so i can get a kitty! I love cats!
Im exited for when i get my kitten! I will get it after we get settled down becuase my grandmother died… But hey..! At least i get a kitten out of it. 🙂 But RIP my grandmother i will miss her.
I bought Winnie! I bought her from petco which this vid was made by it I am so proud I have this cute cat. But she catches lizards, grass hopers, and SHE KILLED MY FISH THAT ALMOST WAS GOING TO BE 5 YEARS. AND ALSO I BOUGHT THE FISH FROM THE SAME PLACE. R.I.P fish. 4 years. We pray you will be happy in heaven.
Cats are basically furry babies.

Radicals Target Chabad Members
After students members of Chabad Emory were threatened by a local so-called Emory Students for Justice in Palestine (ESJP), an attorney offered his help • Full Story
Celebration at Chabad of Emory
5th of Nisan, 5779 - April 10, 2019
Loren Haas – Editorial Oxford Spokesman
On April 2, an outcry could be heard throughout Emory's Atlanta campus. A student organization, Emory Students for Justice in Palestine (ESJP), had posted fake eviction notices on the doors of students on both on- and off-campus housing, containing statistics of the displacement of Palestinians by Israel along the West Bank.
And, while Jewish students were not targeted by the notices, some of the notices ended up on Jewish students' doors. The backlash was immediate – over 30 students (again, not all Jewish) filed complaints about the notices, and the flyers were removed for violating Emory's posting guidelines. Student members of Chabad, a Jewish Orthodox organization, even were informed that there was a high-profile attorney – of an unspecified name – willing to represent them if they felt threatened.
It's incidents like this – in which two groups with at least some sort of political bent get into conflict with each other – that reminds me of just how dismal of shape our politics are in. Legitimate dialogue seems increasingly impossible in this sort of environment. ESJP's protest has turned into a battleground within mere days. Students are saying they feel unsafe and threatened. And while the flyers were designed to make students uncomfortable, this is above and beyond expectations – to the point of major news and heavy consequences.
ESJP is a student organization promoting "a sustainable and just peace in the internationally recognized lands of Palestine." Students formed this organization – and this protest – to vocalize support and hold legitimate protest in favor of Palestine. However, their Israel Apartheid Week, a week dedicated to protests of Israel's settlement of the West Bank, coincides with Israel Week, hosted by Emory Eagles for Israel – making the whole event ripe for conflict already. ESJP even hosted a "die-in" during Wonderful Wednesday, an event at which Eagles for Israel was also tabling. Yes, it is an effective protest of Israel – but it opens no possibility of a dialogue. Instead, they are immediately trying to combat another student organization. There's no hope for a genuine discussion being had in there; these two event weeks occurring simultaneously makes the entire affair "us and them." Once that mindset takes hold, there is no hope for a conversation being had – everyone is at each other's throats before someone can actually open their mouth.
It's almost like we're afraid of discussion now. When students filed complaints about the notices, they said that their safety felt threatened and that they felt insecure in their own housing despite explicit statements on the notices that said they were not genuine. While the flyers were posted in places that violated Emory's guidelines, the perceived threat to security came from a protest. Either no one read the flyers in full enough to realize that the notices were fake (and did not even appear to be a legitimate eviction notice) or no one can stand the thought of their ideology being challenged. Even media outlets covering the issue, as the NY Post, are making the protests out like an attack, creating further divides between people.
This is not meant to be a critique of either side in particular – rather of the events as a whole. Both sides carry some fault for the conflict on Emory's campus now. Our voices are meant to be used to start legitimate discussions, to unite us and allow us to understand other people's viewpoints better. Not everyone has to agree in politics or in anything, but everyone should at least try to listen. But what we're using them for right now is to drown out everyone else – because I guess we have to be in the right if our voice overpowers all others. But if this proves anything, then it proves that it's time for us to start talking – and listening.
