Intrigued after meeting a cross-section of historical re-enacters at Old Fort MacArthur Days, actor/NPR contributor Charlie Schroeder committed to a year embedded with various groups. Opening Man Of War with his World War II experience roleplaying a Nazi fighter in the Colorado Springs area, Schroeder establishes a template he reuses throughout the book: an introductory excerpt from the heart of his visit, maximizing initial bewilderment and odd details for comic effect, followed by a flashback introducing this particular subculture's participants, then a return to the action for a relatively straight-faced recap.
The most interesting segments treat re-enactments whose implications carry troublesome implications. In Florida for a Civil War event, Schroeder notes the lack of black participants and condenses a brief history of pitched rhetorical battles over the racial undertones of play-acting Confederate victories where none occurred. Likewise, during a Vietnam War re-enactment that gives participants license to spew "gook" and other racial epithets, Schroeder's willingness to extend the benefit of the doubt wanes when witnessing how people take up this period detail with gusto. These chapters are among the most memorable, personably exploring tricky historical terrain and how it still shapes American life.
But Schroeder doesn't want to lose anyone by remaining in extended thorny territory, so there are lots of tedious stabs at comic relief. Some are sitcom-lazy (interjecting "By Hercules" into the story of a Roman legionnaire weekend), as is the leaning on pop culture as visual shorthand for how participants look. (One Roman re-enactor gets dubbed "Shrekius.") The closest thing there is to an overarching thesis concerns Schroeder's twin desire for an antidote to his often-trying office job and his interest in understanding his historical heritage as an American—the better to counteract rabidly patriotic Tea Partiers, the target of many passing, appropriately NPR-ish jabs.
While Schroeder meets his the goal of avoiding caricaturing re-enactors as kooky eccentrics, Schroeder by and large notes political differences or similarities between him and the participants without meaningfully connecting them to the activity in question. Schroeder suffers physically for his material, and he's a good color reporter, but it's hard not to wish he'd eliminated all cutesy interjections entirely and mused a little harder on the meaning of his travels, rather than hurriedly finding ways to celebrate the quirky best in his generous hosts.

Neutrons Provide New Polish for Petroleum Processing and More

University of Notre Dame researchers are using neutrons at the Department of Energy's (DOE's) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to study how specialized molecules might improve petroleum production processes, as well as their potential uses in advanced photovoltaic technologies.
"No matter what you want to use petroleum for—whether fuel, feedstock, or making synthetic organic chemicals—you want to use it as efficiently, as cost effectively, and in as an environmentally benign a way as possible," said Peter Kilpatrick, a professor at Notre Dame.
Specifically, Kilpatrick and Ph.D. candidate McKay Rytting want to know what effects functionalized molecules called petroporphyrins have on asphaltenes—darkly colored, high-molecular-weight molecules abundant in heavy crude oil.
"Asphaltenes cause all kinds of problems in petroleum-related processes. They stick to pipe walls when you pump them; they plug the pipes used in transport; and they produce emulsions," said Kilpatrick. "Virtually all the challenges associated with petroleum processing come from asphaltenes."
Similar to how iron binds with hemoglobin—which transports oxygen from our lungs through the bloodstream—petroporphyrins are responsible for binding heavy metals in organic systems to catalyze necessary reactions. Much like asphaltenes, petroporphyrins are also relatively abundant in heavy crude.
"Porphyrins are kind of the key to figuring out how petroleum came from life—from organic lifeforms that died," said Rytting. "As scientists started finding porphyrin molecules in petroleum, they started connecting them with hemoglobin and chlorophyll, and that's how we made the connection."
Porphyrin molecules are brightly colored—some purple, green, blue, and so on—and each variation serves different functions. Their ring-shaped structure allows various atoms to "hang off the edges" of the porphyrin ring that is common to all porphyrins; and those groupings are what determine the molecule's properties such as overall color, how they absorb light, and how they interact with asphaltenes.
Several years ago, Kilpatrick and his team developed a method of purifying and extracting petroporphyrins from petroleum. They believe the more functionalized petroporphyrins could be used to mitigate many of the problematic behaviors that arise from asphaltene aggregation.
Because neutrons are highly penetrating and sensitive to light elements such as hydrogen, they can be used to track individual atoms and molecular functional groups within dense structures to reveal how they work.
The Extended Q-Range Small-Angle Scattering Diffractometer, or the EQ-SANS instrument, at ORNL's Spallation Neutron Source—a DOE Office of Science User Facility—allows the team to study a large number of samples to better understand how petroporphyrins and asphaltenes are interacting at the molecular level.
"The reason neutron scattering is perfect for this research is that we can vary the amount of hydrogen in our solvent by using deuterated or hydrogenated solvents, which tell us how much solvent has been absorbed by the aggregate. We think this will shed light on more efficient processing methods and maybe even new applications in photovoltaics," said Rytting.
"We think these porphyrins have a lot of other uses that no one has even thought about because they've never purified these molecules from petroleum the way we've been able to do," said Kilpatrick. "Neutrons are ideal in helping us realize their potential."

Things like the Kevin Hart debacle are "evidence of how relevant the Oscars still are, that people are talking about and caring about these things," said new network chief Karey Burke on Tuesday.
attends the premiere of Coumbia Pictures' "Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle" on December 11, 2017 in Hollywood, California.
ABC Entertainment's new president, Karey Burke, is aware that this year's Oscar ceremony has been awash in controversy—from the abrupt announcement and cancellation of a new best-popular-film category to the firestorm surrounding nixed host Kevin Hart. But she also sees a silver lining amid all the grumbling, as Burke said during her first foray at the Television Critics Association winter press tour on Tuesday.
Burke, who took over at ABC after the departure of Channing Dungey, admitted that the chaos precipitated by Kevin Hart's selection and subsequent stepping down did initially make her anxious. Then again: "I have found the lack of clarity has kept the Oscars in the conversation. . . . It's evidence of how relevant the Oscars still are, that people are talking about and caring about these things," she said optimistically.
"There wasn't messiness beyond the Kevin Hart situation," Burke went on to say. "After that, it was pretty clear we were going to stay the course. . . . The producers wisely decided to not have a host, and go back to the presenters and the movies being the star. And that's a way to keep it brisk"—i.e., to keep the show to the truncated three-hour time span requested by the Academy this year.
Host Kevin Hart stepped down from his Oscars gig after initially refusing to apologize for past homophobic tweets. "I have made the choice to step down from hosting this year's Oscars . . . because I do not want to be a distraction on a night that should be celebrated by so many amazing, talented artists," he said in December. Hart's departure led to a turbulence for the Academy, and speculation about a potential replacement that soon gave way to the idea that the ceremony would do away with a host altogether. Since then, the show has also courted controversy by moving some awards in the telecast to commercial breaks; announcing, then reversing, the decision to only have two of the five best-original-song nominees perform during the show; and reportedly nixing the tradition of last year's acting winners presenting the acting categories in favor of bigger-name presenters, a decision that 2018 best-supporting-actress winner Allison Janney has called heartbreaking.
The Academy Awards will be airing on the network February 24.


The big wave occurred because of the collapse of part of the glacier, which is located in the south-east of Iceland. At the time, a dozen tourists were on the shore.
The nature-watchers had to evacuate urgently to avoid being washed into the icy waters of the North Atlantic.
"They were not scared, but rather very excited," said Stephan Mantler, who works for the travel company Háfjall, according to Iceland Monitor.


⭐ SouthernCaliSaver is GONE! Crazy right? If you don't know what that is, that is ok but if you are missing it–please know that I no longer blog about deals. Southern Cali Saver was a great adventure that I absolutely loved but to be honest.. people change. Coupons are still my jam "kinda" but I honestly prefer shopping at stores that give me deals without all the hassle of coupons. Times are changing.. and so did my willingness to coupon.
⭐ After 8 years, I'm expecting a BABY! A little girl actually.. our youngest is 7 –so this whole pregnancy/baby thing is a completely new experience.
Okay, giving birth isn't actually a new experience but this pregnancy has been an adventure. I have hyperemesis gravidarum — which if that sounds familiar, its the same thing the The Duchess, Kate Middleton has during her pregnancies.
Soooooo.. you can basically call me the Duchess of Cambridge. 😉 In all seriousness, HG is like morning sickness times 31419 thousand. EVERYTHING makes you sick and you can often be hospitalized for it.
Couponing is like riding a BIKE, right??..
You know what IS like riding a bike? Chatting it up with you all. OMGosh.. I miss blogging. I miss just keeping ya'll informed on what it is about to save money, REGARDLESS of how you do it.
You don't have to penny pinch.
You DON'T have to run out of energy searching for deals every.damn.day.
You don't have to save every dollar you have.
..and I just need to let you know this. 😉 There are just SO many ways to save your hard-earned money that I want to make sure you know.. So, I hope you will join me here more often.
I hope you will grab a cup of coffee (or wine, or vodka.. I don't judge.) and let me show you what I got.
Forget those complicated Budget Forms. This one is so easy, you will wonder what the heck you've been doing all these years 😉 It really is that easy.

Dodge City by Tom Clavin, reviewed by Jason Squire Fluck.
By junior high, I discovered that at least one research paper per year had become de rigeur and I found myself most interested in the First People of America as my subject of research. I wrote papers on Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull and Geronimo to name a few. I had little interest in the White Man's history of Western expansion – I understood at an early age that the United States government committed centuries' long genocide in the name of Manifest Destiny – because I never felt there was anything honorable or interesting about it.
But I had read Tom Clavin's The Heart of Everything That Is: The Untold Story of Red Cloud, An American Legend – a biopic about Red Cloud, one of the most powerful chiefs of the Oglala Sioux and a contemporary of Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse – and decided to give a pass at Dodge City: Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, and the Wickedest Town in the American West.
To keep it short and simple, the book had too many players with a narrative that went back and forth in time without a clear through-line. I'm sure it didn't help that as a result of my waning interest, I read four other books while slowly tackling Dodge City. I did enjoy learning about Bat Masterson and several other contemporaries of Wyatt Earp whose stories have not carried the same mystique and have been obscured by the annals of time.
If you like the legends of the gunslingers of the Wild West, you may find Dodge City: Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, and the Wickedest Town in the American West interesting.

In Dodge City US 56 splits off from 50 and diagonals southwest from an intersection where a bank sign flashed 103 degrees at 12:01 PM. I turned on the local AM station hoping to get a weather report. If there were a low-pressure system on the heels of the hot air I was in, I'd likely be driving into severe weather. The NRA sponsored the local news. A newscaster rifled through a gamut of hog futures, crop reports, train schedules, police logs, and little league games. He finally mentioned that possible thunderstorms south of town shouldn't affect the strawberry social on the lawn at First Baptist.
Highway 56 out of town was lined with curio shops and gun shops and single story motels. Each motel implied that Wyatt Earp or Doc Holliday somehow had slept there. I turned off the radio as I passed the original Boot Hill. Treeless, its graves baked belly-up in the oven air. I couldn't get out of Dodge fast enough.


There is not much I can say about truth and belief. I wrote a little poem about these things in about 2003. The poem is in the shape of a leaf, or vice versa.

Financial Guru Dave Ramsey Says Crypto Is 'Fun,' Here to Stay, Can Be Part
Financial guru Dave Ramsey says crypto is "fun" and can be a small part of investment portfolios. "It's a commodity. Is it going to be around? Sure, it's going to be around," Ramsey said.
Dave Ramsey Now Considers Cryptocurrency a Commodity That Is Here to Stay
Personal finance guru and Ramsey Solutions CEO Dave Ramsey discussed bitcoin and his new book titled "Baby Steps Millionaires" in an interview with Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business Tuesday.
Bartiromo asked him: "I know that you warned against crypto. You called it a get-rich-quick investment. Are you telling us that we do not have any exposure to crypto?" Ramsey replied:
No, as long as the exposure is money you can afford to lose, whatever you want to do with that.
However, he cautioned: "We've got people mortgaging their homes. We've got people taking their retirement out of their 401k and dumping it into crypto as if it is a proven process to build wealth."
While noting that "It's just not a proven process," he stressed:
It's a commodity. Is it going to be around? Sure, it's going to be around.
He elaborated: "I think it's kind of fun. I enjoy watching the whole thing and all that. But, it's an anomaly on the side. It shouldn't be a big part of a personal financial plan to build wealth. It could be a small part — for entertainment."
Ramsey has come a long way in his view regarding bitcoin and cryptocurrency. In December 2020, he expressed his doubt on the Dave Ramsey Show that $100,000 in BTC could be cashed out. "If you really can cash it out and you might find out that this is funny money but I hope you can," he said.
He told his listeners in April last year: "I would cash it all out tomorrow. I wouldn't have been in it in the first place though." In May last year, he explained: "We do not tell people to invest in highly volatile, unpredictable investments. And currencies of any kind fall in that category. Bitcoin will be the most volatile among those, crypto would be the most volatile among those."

Shoes are extremely complex products, formed by dozens of different parts and using a variety of materials, ranging from leather and textiles, to metal components, stilettos and buckles. They also come in a range of shapes and sizes to suit consumer tastes and meet the need for a perfect fit. All of this means that footwear production has never been as standardized and mechanized as that for other consumer goods, including garment manufacturing.

U.S. Patent No. 10,987,579: 2.5D Graphics Rendering System
Posted By : Sandy Rokhlin/
U.S. Patent No. 10,987,579 Graphics Rendering System
Issued April 27, 2021, to Electronic Arts Inc.
Filed/Priority to March 28, 2018
U.S. Patent No. 10,987,579 (the '579 patent) relates to a graphics rendering system which receives data from a server that generates 3D graphics and renders them for the client in 2.5D. The '579 patent details a system receiving data such as 2D vertexes, meshes, textures, and depth ahead of frames where a player would see them, rasterizing them, and projecting them on a 2D plane from a player's field of view (FoV). The system detects and predicts the player's FoV to place the planes as the player moves, so the player experiences the effect of a full 3D space while being less burdensome on bandwidth and transfer rates for a user by loading fewer 3D objects. This could significantly lower bandwidth needed for 3D games, allowing for higher resolution frames and benefitting users with systems like phones or laptops that lack powerful 3D rendering engines.
A graphics rendering system is disclosed for generating and streaming graphics data of a 3D environment from a server for rendering on a client in 2.5D. 2D textures can be transmitted in advance of frames showing the textures. Data transmitted for each frame can include 2D vertex positions of 2D meshes and depth data. The 2D vertex positions can be positions on a 2D projection as seen from a viewpoint within the 3D environment. Data for each frame can include changes to vertex positions and/or depth data. A prediction system can be used to predict when new objects will be displayed, and textures of those new objects can be transmitted in advance.
1. A computing system comprising: a network communications interface configured to communicate via a network with a server that is generating a virtual 3D environment; a memory; and one or more processors configured to execute computer-readable instructions to perform steps comprising: receiving, from the server over the network, a 2D texture for an object in the virtual 3D environment; receiving first frame data comprising: an identification of the object; locations of vertexes of a 2D mesh for the object generated based in part on a field of view of a virtual character within the virtual 3D environment; and depth data for the object generated based in part on the field of view of the virtual character within the virtual 3D environment; storing the texture in the memory; mapping the texture onto the locations of the vertexes of the 2D mesh for the object, wherein the locations of the vertexes of the 2D mesh are locations of parts of a 3D object in the virtual 3D environment projected onto a 2D plane as seen from a viewpoint of the virtual character; rasterizing a first frame of a video based in part on the depth data and the texture mapped onto the locations of the vertexes of the 2D mesh for the object; receiving second frame data comprising: the identification of the object; and updated locations of vertexes of the 2D mesh for the object; mapping the texture to the updated locations of the vertexes of the 2D mesh for the object; and rasterizing a second frame of the video based in part on the depth data and the texture mapped onto the updated locations of the vertexes of the 2D mesh for the object.

Study here/Life at Jesus/
Our inclusive and friendly student community enjoys a range of opportunities to get together and socialise, whether that's through sports, the arts, clubs and subject societies, or faith groups.
Read on to find out more about all our clubs and societies. You can also find out more about our sports clubs here.
JCR and MCR
All undergraduates and postgraduates belong to either the Junior Common Room (JCR) or the Middle Common Room (MCR). The JCR and MCR are the College versions of a students' union, representing their members and providing a place to relax. The lively JCR is housed in spacious modern accommodation, including a conservatory and snack bar. Here, students can meet friends, read newspapers and magazines, play a game of pool or watch TV.
The MCR occupies two rooms, with newspapers, a networked computer, CD and DVD players, a television and a pool table, as well as its own small kitchen. Both common rooms organise plenty of social events, such as quizzes, film nights, punting, Sunday brunches and parties.
In the evening, the College bar hosts social events in a friendly, relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Visit the JCR and MCR websites for more information.
There are plenty of opportunities to participate in arts activities during your time at Jesus College – including the chance to participate in music and drama at College and University level.
Each year we hold the Turl Street Arts Festival, organised jointly by students of the three Colleges on Turl Street (Jesus, Exeter and Lincoln).
Members of the Jesus College Shakespeare Project
The College has its own music room for practice, with a grand and upright piano. The sports pavilion also provides a musical and dramatic venue, and music concerts take place in the Chapel (which has an excellent organ, piano and harpsichord). The Chapel is also home to a non-auditioning choir, which leads the service of Choral Evensong every Sunday during term, and regularly goes on tour during the vacations.
Societies and clubs
We have a wide range of thriving student-led societies in College. There are subject societies, for example in English and History, which bring together students from different disciplines with interests in these areas. The subject societies meet once or more a term, typically inviting guest speakers or organising outings to the theatre or places of interest.
The English Society dinner, 2020
We also have societies covering everything from Chess and Lawrence of Arabia (who was once a Jesus undergraduate) to the recently founded Jesus Feminist Society.
There's also a wide range of clubs you can join, especially in the sports where we have football, rowing, netball and hockey teams, to name but a few.
Jesus College welcomes those of all faiths or none, and there are places of worship and meetings for members of almost any denomination or faith in Oxford. Our Chapel, part of the original foundation of the College, continues to play a role in College life for those who wish to take part. We have a Chaplain, and the Chapel Choir is led by one of the College's Organ Scholars. There are regular services in the Chapel during term to which all are very welcome, with College Communion and a guest preacher once a week. Various events such as discussion groups and confirmation classes are held regularly.


Welcome to the Whitehall School District!
I am extremely honored to serve as superintendent of Whitehall Publics Schools, and I look forward to working with you to ensure that every student and every staff member succeeds.
To learn more about the district's many strengths and it's challenges, and to build a shared vision for the future; I hope my tenure as superintendent will serve as a beginning of our partnership and our embracing a new set of goals that will evolve and expand with your input and involvement. It is our responsibility to make the Whitehall School District the top district in the state of Montana.
One responsibility that I take very seriously is to be sure that our school culture and climate is positive and gives children a feeling of safety and security. Research has determined that kids can't achieve their potential if there are negative distractions in the school day culture, we must focus on the positive. We need to work hard to be sure that concerns about these matters are proactively addressed and that we collectively focus on what we "can do" and not on what we "cannot do". We must not be satisfied with being okay; being okay or just fine is the language of the average; our goal is to be excellent. We will go the "extra-mile" for our students to ensure their success. Every student, every chance, every day!
I have been impressed by all of the staff's commitment to learning and to providing the best environment possible for our students. Thank you in advance for your willingness to work with our staff and with moving the district forward. You have my commitment to work extremely hard on behalf of the students and families of our community. You also have my promise to partner with the entire community to focus on our most important asset – our students in Whitehall.
For those of you who do not know me, I have been an educator, coach, athletic director, principal, and superintendent for the past 27 years. I am excited to continue to serve as the superintendent of Whitehall Schools and plan to continue to build our school system into one of the best schools in the state of Montana.
I am married to my wife Cindy and all together we have 5 children. Savannah is our oldest and is 30 years old, her and her husband Pete live in Sheridan Montana. Eric is 29 and is currently living in Texas, before that he served in the United States Air Force. Holly is 28 and lives and works in Boca Raton Florida. Mikayla is 23 and lives and works in Bozeman. Connor, our youngest, age 21, is attending Montana State University on a full-ride football scholarship, so I am now a Bobcat fan! I do have my Master's Degree from the University of Montana so you could say we are a house divided.
Our mission continues to be T.E.A.M. The mission is to provide a safe, cooperative, educational environment where everyone is Motivated to succeed. Together we will make a difference using research based instructional strategies. Excellence will be Achieved through life-long learning, individualized instruction, and family/community partnerships. Better yet, not only should we embrace this mission developed by the school district but we should all be on a "mission" to ensure that we are giving the best of ourselves every day.
Have a great school year and together we will make Whitehall Schools great!

I'm a Senior Project Manager in Localization by day and Yoga Instructor by night (and early morning). My focus will be on all things wellness, taking a balanced approach to hustling in the corporate office to hitting the gym. From yoga, travel, language & food, I encourage a community of self‑acceptance and self‑love.
I was first introduced to yoga in 2012 when attending UC, Riverside – my first teacher was a 72 year old woman who had so much energy and strength! At the time, yoga was primarily a branch of my physical training but eventually became a staple in my overall mental and physical health. The more I attended classes, the more I yearned for something deeper from my practice. As a result, I pursued my 200 hour training with Long Beach School of Yoga and now share the teachings in a variety of settings: corporate, gym and combat sports.

FIFA says it will expand the World Cup to 48 teams, adding 16 extra nations to the 2026 tournament.
President Gianni Infantino's favoured plan for 16 three-team groups with the top two advancing to a round of 32 was unanimously approved by the FIFA Council.
It meets Infantino's election pledge of a bigger World Cup, and should help fund promised raises for FIFA's 211 members.
With 80 matches instead of 64, FIFA forecasts $1 billion extra income from broadcasting and sponsor deals, plus ticket sales, compared to $5.5 billion forecast for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
FIFA's six continents should find out by May how many extra places they will get. UEFA wants 16 European teams in the tournament, which will likely be held in North America.


Simplifying the Health & Fitness industry.
It's Hump Day, Pump Day! I hope you had a great workout today!
With Day's 1 & 2 in the books, I'm getting settled into the routine and taking my supplements on a regular schedule. Additionally, my food prep is getting better as I plan better. I still like to 'keep it simple', but I make sure to keep some variety in my daily nutrition to ensure I don't get 'bored' with it. It's inevitable, with food boredom comes bad decisions for nutrition. Often those bad decisions turn in to, "well, I already ate bad, I may as well just eat whatever I want, and I'll start again tomorrow." If you do happen to make a bad decision, don't dwell on it, and don't fall off the wagon. Just pick right back up on your normal nutrition plan and it will be okay. Stressing about the bad decision is more harmful to your health than whatever you ate. You only get one life – it's okay to indulge every now and then, but make it the exception and not the rule.
Example: I had to change my schedule for the day and won't be able to hold onto my 9-10 hour eating window. There's no reason for me to stress about it. It's okay to change things up and adapt to the situation… just try to make good nutritional decisions.
