The world of Stranger Things is expanding.
Netflix has announced casting for two roles in the show's upcoming third season, one of whom is already a familiar face within the Upside Down universe: Priah Ferguson, who plays Erica Sinclair, Lucas' (Caleb McLaughlin) younger sister. After guest-starring in season two, Ferguson will return in season three as a recurring star.
What's more, Erica won't be alone. Netflix notes that Erica will be accompanied by "an army of friends" as she heads into the third season of the series. No longer content with sitting on the sidelines, Erica finds herself on a wild mission to save Hawkins from a dangerous and unexpected new threat.
Based on the description, it sounds like Erica and her friends will be fighting back against the Upside Down this season. If so, The Mind Flayer doesn't stand a chance.
'Stranger Things' Season 2: The Duffer Brothers Dive Into the Final Scene
Meanwhile, another new actor has been added to the Stranger Things cast: Maya Thurman-Hawke, who plays Jo March in BBC and Masterpiece's adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's Little Women. Thurman-Hawke will play a brand-new character, Robin, an alternative girl who is equal parts sharp and playful. Bored with her mundane day job, she just wants a little excitement in her life … and gets more than she bargained for when she uncovers a dark secret in Hawkins.
Exactly what does that dark secret entail? Appropriately enough, Stranger Things fans are very much in the dark in that regard. While the first season ended with a strong indication of the next year's story, season two ended in such a fashion that the future of the series is somewhat unknown. The Mind Flayer still towers over Hawkins from the Upside Down, but otherwise? The next moves are up in the air — exactly as the Duffers want it, according to what they previously told The Hollywood Reporter: "Last year, we had a lot of little cliff-hangers at the end of the season. We didn't want to do that again. We didn't want to box ourselves in for season three. We wanted to be able to start season three on a very clean slate."
'Stranger Things': 7 Predictions for Season 3
The third season of Stranger Things is expected to land in 2019. Follow THR.com/StrangerThings for full coverage of the series.

Lily Allen brings sleek, confessional songs to the Fox
Aidin Vaziri September 21, 2018Updated: September 24, 2018, 11:49 am
Following a four-year hiatus, Lily Allen comes storming back with her fourth album, "No Shame."
Having survived a rough divorce and a life of overindulgence, sleek songs like "Family Man" and "Everything to Feel Something" find the 32-year-old British pop singer and mother of three surveying her mistakes and triumphs with equal vigor. The album, naturally, was nominated for the Mercury Prize.
Allen also has a new memoir, "My Thoughts Exactly," in which she unflinchingly recalls the details of a devastating miscarriage, an affair with former Oasis singer Liam Gallagher and sexual assault at the hands of an unnamed record-industry executive. Then there was the time Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin tried to stage an intervention.
As is her way, Allen lays it all out for the world — and she'll bring that same candid energy (along with beloved hits like "Smile" and "The Fear") to the stage when she performs at the Fox Theater on Saturday, Oct. 6.
Lily Allen: 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 6 at The Fox Oakland. Event Details

Bronson's out to stop...
An excellent portrait of action legend Charles Bronson by Eric Pulford features on this British quad for the 1984 thriller The Evil That Men Do. One of several collaborations between the star and director J. Lee Thompson, the film sees Bronson star as a retired hitman known as Holland who is living a relaxed life on a West Indies Island when he is approached by former associates who persuade him to take on one last job. The target is the sadistic torturer, Dr. Clement Molloch, a Welshman who is often hired by political regimes to help them keep dissidents in check and has consequently left a trail of enemies in his wake.
Holland discovers that Molloch has killed his old friend Jorge Hidalgo at the behest of the Surinamese regime and he agrees to set off to Guatemala, the last known location of his target, with Hidalgo's wife and daughter agreeing to pose as his family to protect his cover. Holland uses his old skills to take out various criminal associates as he works his way up the chain to exact revenge against Molloch. The film was released to weak reviews and it's definitely not Bronson's finest hour, or the best collaboration with J Lee Thompson.
As Sim Branaghan notes in his must-own book British Film Posters: An Illustrated History, Eric Pulford was one of the most important figures in the history of UK film marketing. Born in Leeds in 1915, Pulford was encouraged to develop his drawing abilities at school before he left, aged 14, to join a firm that manufactured electrical goods where he designed light fittings. After a year he left there to take up an apprenticeship at Gilchrists, a blockmakers in Leeds city centre, whilst also attending evening classes at Leeds Art College and painting in his spare time.
It was during his time at Gilchrists that Eric's skills were spotted by Leslie Whitchurch, a partner in design firm who had an arrangement with the British film company Rank to produce film posters for Leeds cinemas. Pulford began working on illustrations for the posters around 1940 and eventually left Gilchrists to join Format (Whitchurch's agency) in 1943. The most important move happened in 1943 when Pulford was invited by Rank to relocate to London and set up a design agency to specifically handle their marketing, which saw the birth of Pulford Publicity.
Over the next decade Eric designed and illustrated hundreds of posters for British and Hollywood films, and this meant him working with many of the most important producers and directors in the industry. As Downtons, the parent company to Pulford Publicity, grew Eric started to illustrate less and take on more of an executive role, dealing with clients and liaising with distributors but he still managed to keep his hand in designing posters, including for some of Rank's most important film properties like the Carry On series.
Eventually he took over Downtons completely in 1965 and this is when he hired designers like Vic Fair and John Stockle who would often submit competing concepts for film campaigns that were then sifted and selected by the client. Pulford also hired a number of young artists that included Brian Bysouth and would often give them his own take on how to achieve the best illustration results. Eventually, at the start of the 1980s, Eric began to plan for his retirement and began handing over the reins of Downtons to a new management team before eventually moving to the south coast in 1984.
This quad for The Evil That Men Do marks a milestone as it's the last printed quad that was both designed and illustrated by Pulford, but other design and layout jobs followed over the next few years. His last assignment was, rather aptly, The Last Emperor in 1987 after which he started to enjoy his retirement fully. In 2005 Pulford passed away shortly after suffering a fall at his home, just shy of his ninetieth birthday. Sim notes that Pulford is believed to have designed at least 500 posters over a 50 year period for some of the best British films and his contribution to the field cannot be underestimated.


This is a stage. No fancy contraptions, no soul-searching, just 100 pounds of therapy, dangling from a chain, begging to help you forget whatever's been dancing around the back of your mind.
Welcome to a workout that lets you work your demons out.

Jharkhand elections: JMM invokes indigenous roots, BJP backs Shah-Modi magic
In Jharkhand, the Maharashtra formula is on the line as anti-BJP alliance takes on the ruling party
Vineet Kumar Yadav | Ranchi
"He (Raghubar Das) is an outsider and has been parachuted as the chief minister of Jharkhand," Says Mantu Mahato, who runs a hotel adjacent to a highway between Ranchi and Jamshedpur. With a lot of hope and aspirations in his eyes, Mahato enthusiastically remarks, "Guruji (Soren) will be back in power again." These statements could be a reward of a successful campaign driven by the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) and its allies on several local issues as the state votes to choose the next government.
Once dejected by a spree of defections by key leaders and sitting MLAs, including party Whip Kunal Sarangi, the JMM sprang with new energy by forging a pre-poll alliance with the Congress and Lalu Yadav's Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD). With Hemant Soren as the face of the electoral campaign, 43 seats were allotted to the JMM, 31 to the Congress and 7 seats to the RJD in the 81 member assembly. Banking on the success of an anti-BJp alliance in Maharashtra, the JMM hopes to see similar magic in Jharkhand.
While the JMM is reliant on new leadership, the BJP has designed its campaign centered around Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Raghubar Das, who is on the ballot for the CM post. The party has continued its Modi centric campaign which has been a successful gamble in several states owing to his popularity and a clean image. During his campaign rallies, the prime minister in his trademark style maintained the debate around nationalistic issues, while digressing from local problems. Invoking the recently cleared Citizenship Amendment Act and the party's plans for a nationwide push to the National Register for Citizens (NRC), Modi dared the opposition from Jharkhand.
The JMM, however, has stayed away from the nationalistic fervour and talked about Jal, Jangal, Jamin (water, forest, land), reservation in employment for youth and women in government jobs among others. On the lines of the Aam Adami Party in Delhi, they also promise to work on the school education system in the state which has been "shut" in the BJP rule.
Both the alliance and the ruling parties have tried to woo tribals, who form 26.3 percent of the population and a significant vote bank. While the gathbandan promises the tribal population on the lines of equity and pride along with 28 percent reservation for STs in its manifesto, the BJP finds itself in a tough spot trying to convince them post amendments made in the Chota Nagpur Tenancy Act (Know as CNT Act), allowing the use of Tribal land for industrial purposes. The JMM had openly opposed the move calling the BJP anti-tribal.
While the BJP hopes to continue the run at the top, after completing the first full-term government in the state, the alliance will hope to pull off a spectacle and give the state a tribal chief minister. The stakes are high, and December 23 will define the future of the state.

Digital lockdown: The untold story of Kashmir's longest internet shutdown


Commissioner of Administration Jay Dardenne, Health Secretary Rebekah Gee and Deputy Secretary Michelle Alletto spoke today about letters informing 37,000 Medicaid recipients that they may lose coverage.
Gov. John Bel Edwards is proud of adding half a million Louisianans to the rolls for government-funded health care as part of the state's Medicaid expansion, a move largely supported by federal dollars.
The Edwards administration recently identified some 30,500 enrollees who either make too much money to qualify for the program or didn't provide sufficient documentation of their income. That's about 6 percent of those enrolled under the expansion, which doesn't speak well about the state's stewardship of tax dollars. An earlier state audit had estimated some $85 million might have been spent on ineligible enrollees. Louisiana Department of Health officials dispute the audit's methodology, and say the payments were made in accordance with state and federal policies and shouldn't be considered overpayments.
State officials have upgraded their computer system to better track enrollees — an improvement, they point out, that was delayed by the Bobby Jindal administration. Even so, the governor's critics wonder whether his eagerness to expand Medicaid contributed to the significant number of ineligible recipients.
That promises to be an issue in this year's gubernatorial race, and that can be a good thing if it involves an informed debate about what other measures, if any, are needed to improve the management of Medicaid.
The best way to build support for Medicaid is to assure taxpayers their money is being spent wisely. Kicking off ineligible enrollees is obviously the first place to start.


Indoctrinate (v.) -- to teach someone to accept fully the ideas, opinions, and beliefs of a particular group, in an uncritical fashion; to imbue with a usually partisan or sectarian opinion, point of view, or principle.
Objective (adj.) -- based on facts rather than on feelings or opinions.
There. I thought I'd get a couple of definitions out of the way right at the outset. It's not that I think my readers are in any particular need of refreshing their memories on the meanings; it's more that I want to be completely clear about how asinine Missouri State Representative Rick Brattin is being.
My reason for saying this is that, yet again, we are seeing an attack on the teaching of evolution in science classrooms, this time by a lawmaker who not only has no apparent understanding of science, but could use a refresher on how to use the Concise Oxford. He has introduced a bill into the Missouri House of Representatives that would mandate that schools notify parents if evolution is being taught in biology classrooms -- and allow parents to take their children out of those classes while the topic is being covered, with no grade penalty or loss of credit.
"Our schools basically mandate that we teach one side," Brattin said, in an interview with Kansas City's KCTV News. "It is an indoctrination because it is not an objective approach. It's an absolute infringement on people's beliefs. What's being taught is just as much faith and, you know, just as much pulled out of the air as, say, any religion."
Okay, let me get this straight, Rep. Brattin. We have, on the one hand, teachers using a curriculum that is based on the work of countless scientists, is supported by every scrap of hard evidence that there is, and has the support of damn near 100% of working biologists. On the other hand, we have the creation myth of a bunch of illiterate Bronze-Age sheepherders, who also thought that bats were birds (Leviticus 11:19) and that god created day and night before he created the sun (Genesis 1:5-14), and teaches a worldview that is only still around because it's hammered into children's heads incessantly along with the message that questioning the logic of the whole thing is equivalent to listening to Satan.
And the biologists are the ones who are guilty of indoctrination, and of not being objective?
Predictably, scientists are outraged at Brattin's bill. Glenn Branch, of the National Center for Science Education, said, "The bill would eviscerate the teaching of biology in Missouri. Evolution inextricably pervades the biological sciences; it therefore pervades, or at any rate ought to pervade, biology education at the K–12 level. There simply is no alternative to learning about it; there is no substitute activity."
No. No, there isn't. Evolution is the founding principle of biology, the idea by which (along with genetics) all of the rest of the science is understood. Just as chemistry is not comprehensible without atomic theory, and physics is not comprehensible without the concept of forces and energy, biology becomes a meaningless jumble of vocabulary and terminology without the unifying model of evolution through natural selection. Allowing students to "opt out" of learning about evolution is denying them the opportunity to find out how science actually works -- in essence, allowing them to remain ignorant. That Brattin thinks the evolutionary model is "faith" and "pulled out of the air" shows that he has no real understanding of the science of biology.
... as thinking that the sky was solid and made of glass (Job 37:18).
somehow I missed this one the first time around, for a second opinion check out Mary Midgley's Evolution as Religion.
I highly recommend Professor Jerry Coynes' "Why Evolution is True".

National Album Review: "The Age of Reason" by Gramatik
Album Reviews Arts & Culture Uncategorized
February 3, 2014 USMLeave a Comment on National Album Review: "The Age of Reason" by Gramatik
The Age of Reason defies standards in electronic music albums featuring 15 dynamic tracks that are rich in innovation and variety.
The Slovenian born DJ Gramatik, whose real name is Denis Jasarevic, has been busy creating his own record label Lowtemp and crafting this gem of an album that's been released after much anticipation.
The Age of Reason is one of those rare albums that's almost impossible to describe as a whole because of the extreme variance in each track. Gramatik mixes big beats with only the best sounds from a wide range of genres like electronic, funk, soul, glitch hop, house and even a little jazz for an album stocked with tunes to fit any occasion, but all head-bob worthy. The only commonality that can be found amongst these catchy and diverse tracks is that they are all very easy to listen to. The variety and natural sounding quality makes this the kind of album you can dance to, work to, drive to, even study to.
While it seems like the album is suffering from a bit of identity crisis from the impressively different styles in each track, half the fun is just anticipating what you'll hear next by skipping around on the album. Gramatik's strength is in his versatility as an artist to include classic piano and guitar sounds, with hyper kinetic beats for a seamless blend of both old and new. "You Don't Understand," the second single on the album, starts off with a smooth funk guitar riff but then progresses into a more futuristic mix that could only be described as elegantly filthy. The Age of Reason is a refreshing step in the right direction for electronic music, straying away from the muddled vocals on top of overly aggressive dubstep bass wobbles that has become trendy in the past few years. These tracks won't give you the dubstep headache that most mainstream DJs and bands often do.
"Torture" is a must-listen featuring vocals from Eric Krasno, which features lush electric beats paired with an infectious guitar riff that's reminiscent of The Black Keys. And if the work of Gramatik alone wasn't enough, a lot of tracks feature the production collective of Exmag, which includes other top-notch produces, such as SuperNicer, Mike Iannatto, and ILLUMNTR.
This is an album that embraces the fresh and energetic feel of electronica but with plenty of nostalgic nods to a funkier more soulful style. The Age of Reason is a distinctly unique spin on electronic music that benefits from its hybrid quality of blending fresh beats with classic instrumentals. The Age of Reason is an electronic game-changer. Oh, and don't go rushing to the nearest record store to grab a copy, because Gramatik is offering his entire album free to download through his Soundcloud page.

The last 10 days or so have been a blur, almost literally.
In retrospect, Enhance Your Vocabulary Week, and the minimal effort it required, must have been divinely inspired. Otherwise, there might have been no blog updates.
I had just been whining to you about a sinus infection which, by the way, has turned into bronchitis. But this isn't about me.
Last Friday, something very strange and frightening happened.
My husband lost all memory for six hours.
That morning, he got up, showered, shaved, dressed for work and then, as if a switch had flipped, so did he.
His retention was lasting no more than about 30 seconds. He didn't know what day it was or what it meant that our calendar said "Beach" on the following day. He couldn't tell me whether or not he had eaten breakfast and he didn't remember dinner the night before or our son having just visited. Every 30 seconds the questions started over again, "what day is it?" and so on.
I took him to the emergency room where they saw him immediately. Actually there's not much going on in the ER at 9 in the morning. They asked him a series of questions, none of which he could answer, except my birthday. When they asked him my name, he used my maiden name.
His EKG, CT scan and MRI came back completely normal, as did all the other routine tests. Within six hours, his memory returned, bit by bit, except the hours of the memory lapse—and he still doesn't remember that.
They admitted him and kept him an additional 24 hours for observation, releasing him Saturday night. I then drove us to Rehoboth Beach, where we meet out-of-town friends every year.
Two hospital physicians and, as of Thursday, another doctor, agreed on one thing: it's a mystery. One said it was a transient ischemic attack, often called a mini-stroke. Others said it was amnesia, which occurs suddenly, without warning, and typically never returns. Amnesia wins, two to one, until we learn otherwise.
Now that we know it's nothing serious, perhaps it's best we forget it ever happened.
But before we do, I'd like to thank the special soul who stayed in touch with me throughout the trauma via dozens of text messages and by phone, the loyal friend who sat with my husband in the hospital all day Saturday and bought me dinner in the cafeteria, our dear friends who pampered us at the beach and the angels who left homemade chicken soup at our front door, as well as all those who've sent prayers and best wishes our way, including my cousins who are living their own nightmare.
Riding on Marcy's post, I pray this remains 'typical'.
How odd, and scary! Tell Marty we are thinking about him.
Would have held your hand too had I known. Take care of yourselves and each other. And…don't forget…we love you both!
I am glad you filled us in after an apparent recovery. I once had a TIA and it is frightening. To think that Marty was suffering, even for six hours, would be more that I could bear.
Monica, just now read this. Am glad to know Marty has regained his ability to remember. Know this scares you all. I am thinking of you with love and concern.
We are relieved to know that you both made it through this Alfred Hitchcock scenario. Nothing beats beach therapy! Love to you all.
Friends and loved ones are gifts from God. Having a mate who takes care of you 24×7 cannot be adequately described. Being able to show up at work on Monday morning is a very good thing.
Just read the post and we are happy to hear the most recent good news right after learning about the scary part. May amnesia never return!
Holy cow! Just read this and am so sorry to hear about your ordeal. I seem to recall reading an article in the Post health section about this very phenomenon. Let me see if I can find it and send it to you.


To help teachers to better approach children from foster families, in 2012 we launched an Educational Project. Since then the conflicts are getting less.
In the meetings the teachers get information and learn to put themselves in the position of the children – and to better understand them.
Being the father of a pre-schooler myself, I want school to be a safe and friendly place for my son. I want to be sure he will be treated well there and will be surrounded by professionals who can help him develop his natural talents. I think all parents want this. At SOS Children's Villages, we are used to dealing with children with various types of challenges. It is not a surprise considering they all went through many hardships. Neglect, abuse and separation from biological parents can have long lasting effects on the behaviour and emotional well-being of these children eventually carrying on into their future lives. We work a lot to help the children in the village as well as in the foster families where we supervise, to overcome traumas from their past. But what about the teachers in the schools that these children attend? Do they really know how to handle children from foster families?
"School is a very important part of the children's lives. They learn there, play, ask questions, make friends, have fights, become friends again … The children in SOS and foster care want to be treated like anyone else. But at the same time there are differences, and teachers must be aware of them" – says our pedagogue, Igor Vorbjev, who knows, first-hand, the challenges that come with educating students from difficult backgrounds. Even simple assignments in school such as drawing a picture of their family or reading a story about a happy family can cause them distress. "These kids have either lost their biological parents or have bad memories about them, so the word 'family' can be a very painful word for them especially during the adaptation period when they haven't yet fully gotten settled in the SOS- or foster- family," says Igor.
The teacher's pat on the boy's shoulder for a job well done caused a strong reaction.
Igor Vorbjev, pedagogue at SOS Children's Village Kandalaksha, knows how important it is to understand where a child comes from.
At some point we noticed that oftentimes teachers have little knowledge on the psychology and behaviour of foster children – which resulted in conflict situations. This is basically why, in 2012, SOS Children's Villages launched an Educational Project for teachers from local schools. "In simple words, the Educational Project helps teachers understand how to approach children in the classroom, considering all backgrounds. A teacher's job is hard, really hard. To remember the backgrounds of every child is difficult, but we think there should be a general understanding that there are children in the classroom who are in foster care, or were adopted" – says Igor. This is very important because when teachers don't understand a child's background, they may unwittingly set off 'triggers' that can cause emotional meltdowns in children. "Once, a teacher came up to me and told about a boy who jumped out of his chair and screamed obscenities during a lesson. The next day we met with the boy to find out what the problem had been. It turned out that the boy had been physically abused by his biological family and it was the teacher's pat on the boy's shoulder for a job well done that had caused such a reaction. The conflict was resolved" – says Igor adding that the project helps to avoid such stressful situations and makes the relationship between a child and a teacher more harmonious.
When SOS experts, teachers and foster parents become a team they can support the children best.
I'm proud to tell you that more than 50 teachers and 20 foster families from the SOS Children's Village and the local community have taken part in the Educational Project. At the regular meetings, seminars and presentations in the SOS Children's Village, they learn about difficulties foster children may face in school and how to help them in the best possible way.

App of the Week: Infinity Blade
Publisher: Epic Games
Platform: iOS
What's this? An iOS game made it into the rotation? You, the intelligent and observant reader, might ask "Christian, you suave devil, what happened to you? You're playing on an iOS device!?" Yes, it's true. I've fallen to the charms of what may be the greatest mobile game I've ever played. A game that, much to my chagrin, is not and most likely will never be available to Windows Phone/Windows 8 users.
Infinity Blade was released on December 9, 2010 and quickly became the fastest-grossing app in iOS history. Since then, it has spawned a sequel, Infinity Blade II, and a book, Infinity Blade: Awakening.
Infinity Blade's story follows the fated bloodline of an unknown family in their struggle to slay the immortal God King. Upon reaching one of two endings or dying, the next generation takes their ancestor's place in the never-ending quest. Players must traverse a sprawling castle, fighting the many deadly denizens that lurk its halls. And it's the combat where Infinity Blade truly shines.
Combat is deceptively simple and engrossing in its complexity. Players must swipe to attack and their sword will follow the swipe. Tapping either bottom corner will make the player dodge and tapping the center blocks. However, depending on how many points have been put into blocking, only so many blocks can be made. Combat quickly becomes a game about learning your enemies' patterns and how best to counter. As players progress through the game and subsequent bloodlines, the game gradually increases the difficulty. Enemies learn powerful new tricks which can leave the player wondering what the hell happened between generations.
Aiding the player and their descendants are various armors, weapons, and magic rings that can be purchased. Increasingly powerful items are unlocked as the player gains levels and the price tags soar exponentially as they progress. This is where Infinity Blade's RPG elements come into play with players having to manage equipment, stats, and leveling of equipment. It's not the most complicated system in gaming, but it's involved enough for the infinite amount of replay value.
Infinity Blade revolutionized mobile gaming and is a must have for any iOS device. This is old new to many, but for those stalwart few like myself, Infinity Blade is an absolute treat. It's intuitive controls make it easy to pick up and its addictive gameplay make it equally hard to put down.

Police find missing Whanganui teen, Jaymie Lee, safe and well

Labradoodle therapy dog has changed Horowhenua teen's life
Rosie has made an incredible difference to 17-year-old Abigail Pratt's everyday life in a short time.
By: Paul Williams
Abigail Pratt was a miracle baby, but as a child even the simplest of tasks was too overwhelming for her as she suffered a range of maladies. They tried everything, but Abigail was effectively housebound. Then Abigail met Rosie, and everything changed. Paul Williams reports.
A shaggy black dog has become a guardian angel for a Shannon teenager who struggled with daily tasks that most people take for granted.
When she was born, Abigail Pratt weighed just 516 grams. She was a miracle baby. Her mother Rochelle endured 10 miscarriages before Abigail arrived after just 27 weeks of pregnancy.
The youngest of four sisters, Abigail, 17, was in hospital in an incubator for the first five months of her life as doctors worked to ensure she was well enough to be taken home.
Initially Abigail was fed through a tube. After learning to eat and swallow, she began to thrive. But as a toddler, it became apparent that the easiest of tasks were extremely difficult for her.
Abigail was diagnosed with auditory processing disorder, dyslexia, obsessive compulsive disorder, sensory processing difficulties, anxiety and panic attacks, which could make the simplest of tasks overwhelming.
Her condition began to deteriorate a few years ago in what her mother described as "hitting a rock wall". A trip to town was impossible, resulting in an overwhelming fear and shaking.
Mrs Pratt said they had tried everything, from medication to expert advice. They were housebound.
"Under no circumstances can we fault the help we have had from health professionals. But we were living in a world of 'what is this?'," she said.
Wanting to understand, Mrs Pratt was told that Abigail's feeling could be likened to that of being in Times Square in New York on New Year's Eve with light bulbs flickering everywhere at once.

Abigail said she was frustrated by the invisibility of what she was going through.
"I don't know what's actually happening. It's super hard to explain. I'm super powerless," she said.
Abigail Pratt and Rosie
Willing to give anything a try, it was suggested they look at DPT - Deep Pressure Therapy - that could come from a trained dog.
It was then they met Rosie, a six-month-old labradoodle from Tauranga. The pair were originally introduced in a trial period to see if the union would benefit. But after a short time, there was no doubt.
They had been together for four months now. Abigail said Rosie was changing her life.
"She's my guardian angel," she said, as she handed her friend another liver treat.
"She's always there if I need her and I know she will keep me safe."
Mrs Pratt said the effect Rosie had on Abigail was incredible. They were inseparable. As well as a companion, Rosie would sense when Abigail was having an attack and would press her body weight on her, first with a paw, then with more of her body which had a calming effect.
"I don't even know if there are words to explain Rosie," she said.
"She has brought laughter back. It was very serious for awhile. Her impact has been huge. Abby has just blossomed."
First with a paw, Rosie would comfort Abigail and prevented her from hurting herself during episodes, and also provide companionship and protection.
Mrs Pratt said when they visited the therapy dogs in Tauranga she couldn't believe her eyes as she watched Abigail confidently take Rosie for a walk. It was something she had never been able to do on her own before.
They knew they had to have Rosie.
"It's life changing for her," she said.
Abigail and Rosie.
In a short time Rosie has taken Abigail to the movies, the dentist, the library, the dog park... and they are even planning to go to a ball at the youth group she has joined.
"It's these little things..." Mrs Pratt said.
Rosie sleeps with Abigail. She has quickly learnt her triggers, what she likes and doesn't like. If she can sense Abigail is upset, she responds straight away.
"I just love snuggling with her," she said.
Abigail recently received a $5000 grant from the Mazda Foundation enabling her to buy Rosie, for which Mrs Pratt said they "tremendously grateful".
Abigail was one of 32 recipients who collectively received more than $100,000 in the latest round of Mazda Foundation funding for 2019.

How do I find n? There is a rectangle and l=125^2n and w=25^n-1 and there area in 625cm^2. I know n=3/4 and I know you have to multiply l and w. What steps are required after that?
The formula for the area is l•w so your data gives you the exponential equation: 125^(2n) • 25^(n-1) = 625. Notice now that every term in the equation has a base that is a power of 5: 5^2= 25, 5^3=125 and 5^4=625. Using power rules, you can write your equation as: 5^(3•2n) • 5^(2•(n-1))=5^4 or more simply: 5^(6n+2n-2)=5^4 In the equation, since the bases of both sides are the same, it means that the exponents should be equal. Therefore you get: 8n-2=4, or 8n=6 so n=6/8 or 3/4.

Many pulpits throughout the world have the words from our text plastered where only the preacher can see them: Sir, we wish to see Jesus. Jesus Christ, crucified and bloody upon the tree is the content our our preaching and faith and indeed is the shape of our very lives as His children and followers.
Sir, we wish to see Jesus. It's who you are, beloved. If you don't see Jesus shaping your identity and making you in His image, that what do you see? You by nature would hide in the shadows, look in all the dark places, and seek only what would be your doom. You would look at yourself in pride, look in lust upon your neighbor, with, uh, "purpling" thoughts, and you would look with longing and envy at the things and stuff of this world.
Our lives are spent searching, hunting, longing, desiring and trying to find what you can never find on your own. You search and long for what you cannot have because the one thing needful was ripped from your heart on that dark day in the Garden of Eden so long ago.
And so Jesus Christ, our Lord, He is lifted up on the cross so that the whole world will look at Him in His glory. But look where His glory is found! His glory is in the folly of the cross. God's nature, His very character as one of love and self-giving, that nature of God is what you see in this Jesus Christ in suffering and death upon the cross.
So it is that God saw you in Creation. He saw you in Noah and the Flood. He saw you in Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, that is, He saw you in Israel. He saw you when He saved Israel from Egypt. He saw you in the waters of the Red Sea, as you crossed with Israel on dry ground. He saw you, rebellious and searching, and He called you home to Him, to draw you back from Exile.
But most importantly, our Lord, Jesus Christ, saw you as He hung upon the cross. You were on His mind and in His heart as He bore your sins to the grave. So You were You were in His eyes when He hung upon the cross. You were in His eyes with a love that even death itself could not conquer.

Matt Roth was the number forty six 46 pick of the 2005 NFL Draft. Matt Roth went to the Miami Dolphins as a Defensive End. Round one 2 pick 14. Forty sixth pick.
Matt Roth went to University of Iowa.
With an additional 10 pounds of muscle on his frame in 2004, Roth put together a banner senior season, earning All-America honors. He ranked fourth in the Big Ten Conference with eight sacks and registered 15 stops for losses (sixth in the Big Ten), eight pressures and 49 tackles (34 solo) while leading the conference with three forced fumbles.
Comments: Matt Roth is fun to watch, but may be undersized for what Miami needs. But you cannot get better than Zach Thomas as a mentor.

The Battle of Nanjing (1853) () began after the fall of Wuhan on March8, 1853, and ended with the fall of the capital city of Nanking on March19, 1853, to Taiping troops, a few days after the Qing Government evacuated the city.

The remaining Qing garrison surrendered to the Taiping, but they were nonetheless executed.

Background
Taiping forces captured Wuchang in January 1853, but instead of marching north and directly attacking Beijing they decided to head east and first take control of Nanjing with a force of 500,000+ men. The floating bridges initially used to in the siege of Wuchang were burned and destroyed to delay Qing advances led by Xiang Rong. Taiping forces took Jiujiang and Anqing in Anhui province virtually unopposed.

The Taipings reached Nanjing on March 6, with a force that had grown to almost 750,000. The Taiping besieged the city for thirteen days, until three tunnels had been dug beneath city walls in order to plant explosives. Two of them exploded on time but the third one detonated late, killing many Taiping troops in friendly fire. On March 20, Taiping forces reached the Imperial City, the home of the Manchu Garrison and defended by more than 30,000 Manchu bannermen families. Qing forces were unable to contain a Taiping human wave attack and the Inner City fell quickly. The Taipings murdered about 30,000 manchu families of the defeated manchu soldiers after capturing the city.

During the battle the Taiping forces used spies disguised as Buddhist monks who successfully entered the city. They set fires alerting the Taiping where the weak points in the city were.

State Farm donation to support various MU programs
Since 2015, State Farm has donated a total of $520,600 to MU's fundraising campaign.
By Claire Mitzel
Trulaske College of Business
MU Extension Fire and Rescue Training Institute
College of Human Environmental Sciences
State Farm Insurance Company donated $128,600 to MU on June 28 as part of the Mizzou: Our Time to Lead fundraising campaign. The donated money will go toward various MU departments and programs, including MU Extension, the Trulaske College of Business and the College of Human Environmental Sciences.
"We are thrilled to celebrate the generosity of State Farm and Mizzou's long-standing partnership with the company," Vice Chancellor for Advancement Tom Hiles said in a news release announcing the donation. "State Farm's continued support in important MU community outreach programs shows their dedication and investment in bettering the community and state, and we thank them for their vision."
Of the donation, $48,600 will fund the Fire Rescue Training Initiative, which is housed under MU Extension. With State Farm's donation, 750 firefighters and emergency responders throughout the state will be trained on removing accident victims and transporting them quickly to treatment centers.
Additionally, $25,000 will go toward MU Health Care's Trauma Center for Motor Vehicle Crash Outreach program, which aims to reduce crashes among older drivers. The program allows drivers "to stay on the roads as long as safely possible" while also opening discussions about driver retirement, according to the news release.
Past State Farm gifts allowed the Trulaske College of Business to start a risk management and insurance program in 2015. Because of State Farm's support, the news release stated, the College of Business hired a program director, and new classes directed toward students interested in risk management were able to be offered. The new gift of $25,000 will continue to support the program.
The College of Human Environmental Sciences received two gifts from State Farm, a $20,000 donation for financial literacy counseling for students across the state of Missouri and $10,000 toward the Family Impact Center. The center allows families to participate in financial, behavioral and other counseling and trainings to help families "identify and build on their strengths, face challenges and make informed choices," according to the news release.
To date, State Farm has donated a total of $1.8 million to MU, with $520,600 of that to the Mizzou: Our Time to Lead campaign. The campaign, which began in October 2015, has raised a total of $762 million, with a goal of $1.3 billion. By focusing on endowment, signature research centers and new and renovated facilities, the news release stated, the fundraising campaign will "secure the University of Missouri's status among the nation's elite public universities."

Discuss the statement that 'adolescence is a period of Storm and Stress'. Adolescence is the developmental stage between childhood and adulthood; "The period of development from the onset of puberty to the attainment of adulthood. This begins with the appearance of secondary sexual characteristics, usually between the ages of 11 and 13 years of age (Colman 2006). It represents the period of time during which a person experiences a variety of biological changes and involves a dramatic transitions in the physical, social, sexual, and intellectual spheres. This essay will review the theories of adolescences and the extent to which they characterise adolescences as a time of storm and stress as suggested by Hall (1904). Firstly, the changing notion of adolescence through history and its cultural context will be discussed, followed by the biological, psychosocial and cognitive approaches to adolescence. Adolescence as a period of stress and storm can be traced back as far as writings of Plato and Aristotle. Plato (1953) described adolescent boys as constantly arguing and very easily excited. Aristotle (1941) described adolescents as "lacking in sexual self-restraint, fickle in their desires, passionate and impulsive". However, during the middle ages, adolescence was mostly ignored as a life stage and children were viewed as small adults. ...read more.
These behaviours can lead to the view that adolescence is a period of storm and stress. Research indicates that Piaget simplifies the developmental process by overestimating the invariance of the order of stages. It has been argued that Piaget exaggerates the universalism of the stages and lacks ecological validity as all his research was based on children from well-educated, high socio-economic backgrounds. Freud's theory of psychosexual development also portrays adolescence as being fraught with internal struggle. According to Freud, during the last stage of psychosexual development, the "genital" phase; the child is inundated with instinctual impulses which disrupt the balance between the ego and id. The ego is pulled between the impulses of the id and the restrictions imposed by the superego. This conflict makes adolescence a time of tremendous stress and turmoil. Unfortunately the work of Freud is heavily criticised; his work is based on a small number of case studies and is therefore regarded as unreliable and cannot be generalised to the whole population. This theory may have been applicable at the time it was developed but is not applicable today. Additionally, Freud's theory has no empirical support as the constructs of the id, ego and superego are subjective and cannot be measured. ...read more.
Unlike the traditional theories of adolescence, the Focal theory has the advantage of being based on empirical evidence. Despite this, coping with one issue at a time does not necessarily indicate stability (Coleman, 1978). There is a need for more evidence, particularly from longitudinal studies, to test Coleman's claim. The claim that adolescence is indeed a time of storm and stress is based on many theories of adolescent development. Each theory puts forward a unique explanation for the basis of turmoil in adolescence, whether it is sexual, cognitive, or resulting from social challenges such as those based on studies of adolescents in treatment, which represents a small population of youth. Conversely, larger-scale studies of development in adolescence that have focused on the 'normal' adolescent population have concluded that turmoil is relatively uncommon (Douvan and Adelson, 1966; Offer and Offer, 1975). Montemayor (1983) concludes that although some conflict in adolescence is likely to be a normal part of the transformations that occur, it also seems clear that there is little support for more extreme storm and stress notions. Adolescents are simply moving forward to be like the group they are going to become: adults. There are a relatively few areas, such as crime , eating disorders and suicide do adolescents undertake behaviour more often than other age groups. However adolescents are still generally believed to be disruptive or out of control. ...read more.

This week has been a lazy week. There is something about the rain and cold weather that makes me want to hibernate. Maybe I was a bear in my past life...because seriously...all I want to do is stay in bed and snuggle in my warm blankets!
I have managed to get some work done. I'm finishing up Act I in my script and I'm really liking the way things are going so far. I've updated my beat sheet because I came up with some new ideas for the story line (very common for me in my writing process - I kind of just wing it as I write along). BUT, having a beat sheet really keeps me on track.
It's definitely a long process, but it's exciting. I can't wait until my first Act is finally finished and I move on to the next. I am a little behind on my deadline, but only by a few days. I will keep you posted.
