The Queen : the forgotten life behind an American myth
Levin, Josh, author.
xi, 418 pages, 8 unnumbered leaves of plates : illustrations (some color) ; 24 cm
A new victim -- Covert -- Page one -- Obtained by deception -- Friend -- A woman in Chicago -- Concerned neighbors -- The fashionably dressed Mrs. Taylor -- She couldn't stop -- She knows about the money -- Everything is fictitious -- Bottom rats -- The two Mrs. Harbaughs -- I'll sue the hell out of them -- A helpless child -- Clever, conniving, callous -- Beneficiary -- Deficits of memory.
"In the fall of 1974, the Chicago Tribune found a woman its readers were sure to hate. Linda Taylor had reported a phony burglary, concocting a lie about stolen furs and jewelry. The detective who checked it out soon discovered she was a scammer, a welfare cheat who drove a Cadillac to collect ill-gotten government checks. Taylor, it turned out, was also a kidnapper, and possibly a murderer. But nobody--not the journalists who touted her story, not the police, and not Ronald Reagan, who railed against Taylor during the 1976 presidential campaign--seemed to care about anything but her welfare thievery. Levin's mesmerizing book, the product of six years of reporting and research, is an empathetic work of true crime, an account of how Taylor destroyed both strangers and those close to her... Growing up in the Jim Crow South, Taylor was made an outcast because of the color of her skin. As she rose to infamy, the press and politicians manipulated her image to demonize poor black women. This is the dazzling story of what was done to Linda Taylor, what she did to others, and what was done in her name."--Dust jacket.
American predator : the hunt for the most meticulous serial killer of the 21st century
Callahan, Maureen (Journalist), author.
New York : Viking, 2019.
"A gripping tour de force of investigative journalism that takes us deep into the investigation behind one of the most frightening and enigmatic serial killers in modern American history, and into the ranks of a singular American police force: the Anchorage PD Most of us have never heard of Israel Keyes. But he is one of the most ambitious, meticulous serial killers of modern time. The FBI considered his behavior unprecedented. Described by a prosecutor as "a force of pure evil," he was a predator who struck all over the United States. He buried "kill kits"--Cash, weapons, and body-disposal tools--in remote locations across the country and over the course of fourteen years, would fly to a city, rent a car, and drive thousands of miles in order to use his kits. He would break into a stranger's house, abduct his victims in broad daylight, and kill and dispose of them in mere hours. And then he would return home, resuming life as a quiet, reliable construction worker devoted to his only daughter. When journalist Maureen Callahan first heard about Israel Keyes in 2012, she was captivated by how a killer of this magnitude could go undetected by law enforcement for over a decade. And so began a project that consumed her for the next several years--uncovering the true story behind how the FBI ultimately caught Israel Keyes, and trying to understand what it means for a killer like Keyes to exist. A killer who left a path of monstrous, randomly committed crimes in his wake--many of which remain unsolved to this day. American Predator is the ambitious culmination of years of on-the-ground interviews with key figures in law enforcement and in Keyes's life, and research uncovered from classified FBI files. Callahan takes us on a journey into the chilling, nightmarish mind of a relentless killer, and the limitations of traditional law enforcement, in one of America's most isolated environments--Alaska--when faced with a killer who defies all expectation and categorization"-- Provided by publisher.

Soulless : the case against R. Kelly
DeRogatis, Jim, author.
New York : Abrams Press, 2019.
Prologue: Robert's problem is young girls -- He gonna grow up being a shooter -- I promise you -- There are lots of people who know about this -- School ain't gonna make you a millionaire -- Numerous -- Trophies -- Go to your mailbox -- Victory by delay -- Recent unpleasantness -- The State of Illinois vs. Robert Sylvester Kelly -- The defense and the verdict -- "How old are we talking?" -- "It's just music" -- The cult -- Reckoning -- Afterword.
In November 2000 DeRogatis, a Chicago journalist and music critic, received an anonymous fax that alleged R. Kelly had a problem with 'young girls.' DeRogatis thought breaking the story would have an impact. Instead, Kelly's career flourished. After eighteen years of tenacious journalism, he tells the story of Kelly's career, his own investigations, and brings the story up to the moment when things finally seem to have changed. The result is a darkly riveting account of the life and actions of R. Kelly, and their horrible impact on dozens of girls. -- adapted from jacket

The end of killing : how our newest technologies will solve humanity's oldest problem
Smith, Rick (Patrick W.), author.
Vancouver, BC : Page Two Books, 2019.
"The End Of Killing is a book that asks a bold question: could we end killing as a human endeavor? In other words, could we eliminate killing using technology? Rick Smith's answer--born of a life dedicated to making the bullet obsolete--is yes. He argues that while humanity has accepted that killing is an unavoidable fact of life, it doesn't need to be. In this provocative book, Smith demonstrates that, because of advancements in technology, we are on the cusp of a world where killing is no longer required--nor acceptable. But getting there will require bold approaches that challenge conventional thinking. Showcasing the latest technologies in weapons, surveillance, artificial intelligence, and even bioinformatics, the book dives into the big, thorny questions about how technology is changing personal safety, police work, our justice system, and our national security. With clarity and conviction, Smith challenges conventional wisdom, showing how technologies that appear strange and scary can actually better human life dramatically. In a world of dead-end debates about gun violence and police brutality, he offers us a clear roadmap out of the violent present into a brighter future. Thought-provoking, insightful, and controversial, The End of Killing will make people stop and think about the world they inhabit--and about the future to come."-- Provided by publisher.
Grace will lead us home : the Charleston Church Massacre and the hard, inspiring journey to forgiveness

Part I: We have stared evil in the eye -- Part II: Looking to man for comfort -- Part III: What's done in the dark comes to the light -- Remarks by the President in eulogy for the Honorable Reverend Clementa Pinckney.
"A deeply moving work of narrative nonfiction on the tragic shootings at the Mother Emanuel AME church in Charleston, South Carolina. On June 17, 2015, twelve members of the historically black Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina welcomed a young white man to their evening Bible study. He arrived with a pistol, 88 bullets, and hopes of starting a race war. Dylann Roof's massacre of nine innocents during their closing prayer horrified the nation. Two days later, some relatives of the dead stood at Roof's hearing and said, "I forgive you." That grace offered the country a hopeful ending to an awful story. But for the survivors and victims' families, the journey had just begun. In Grace Will Lead Us Home, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jennifer Berry Hawes provides a definitive account of the tragedy's aftermath. With unprecedented access to the grieving families and other key figures, Hawes offers a nuanced and moving portrait of the events and emotions that emerged in the massacre's wake. The two adult survivors of the shooting begin to make sense of their lives again. Rifts form between some of the victims' families and the church. A group of relatives fights to end gun violence, capturing the attention of President Obama. And a city in the Deep South must confront its racist past. This is the story of how, beyond the headlines, a community of people begins to heal. An unforgettable and deeply human portrait of grief, faith, and forgiveness, Grace Will Lead Us Home is destined to be a classic in the finest tradition of journalism"-- Provided by publisher.

Furious hours : murder, fraud, and the last trial of Harper Lee
Cep, Casey N., author.
xii, 314 pages, 16 unnumbered leaves of unnumbered plates : illustrations, map, ports. ; 25 cm
"'A triumph on every level. One of the losses to literature is that Harper Lee never found a way to tell a gothic true-crime story she'd spent years researching. Casey Cep has excavated this mesmerizing story and tells it with grace and insight and a fierce fidelity to the truth.'--David Grann, best-selling author of Killers of the Flower Moon The stunning story of an Alabama serial killer and the true-crime book that Harper Lee worked on obsessively in the years after To Kill a Mockingbird. Reverend Willie Maxwell was a rural preacher accused of murdering five of his family members for insurance money in the 1970s. With the help of a savvy lawyer, he escaped justice for years until a relative shot him dead at the funeral of his last victim. Despite hundreds of witnesses, Maxwell's murderer was acquitted--thanks to the same attorney who had previously defended the Reverend. Sitting in the audience during the vigilante's trial was Harper Lee, who had traveled from New York City to her native Alabama with the idea of writing her own In Cold Blood, the true-crime classic she had helped her friend Truman Capote research seventeen years earlier. Lee spent a year in town reporting, and many more working on her own version of the case. Now Casey Cep brings this nearly inconceivable story to life, from the shocking murders to the courtroom drama to the racial politics of the Deep South. At the same time, she offers a deeply moving portrait of one of the country's most beloved writers and her struggle with fame, success, and the mystery of artistic creativity"-- Provided by publisher.

On March 29, 1975, sisters Katherine and Sheila Lyons, age 10 and 12, vanished from a shopping mall in suburban Washington, D.C. As shock spread, then grief, a massive police effort found nothing. The investigation was shelved, and mystery endured. Then, in 2013, a cold case squad detective found something he and a generation of detectives had missed. It pointed them toward a man named Lloyd Welch, then serving time for child molestation in Delaware. As a cub reporter for a Baltimore newspaper, Mark Bowden covered the frantic first weeks of the story. In The Last Stone, he returns to write its ending. Over months of intense questioning and extensive investigation of Welch's sprawling, sinister Appalachian clan, five skilled detectives learned to sift truth from determined lies.

Drew Mackie has posted an item about this not very appetizing-sounding Chinese dish on his personal blog. He writes: "A bit of searching has led me only to find out that this food is not, in fact, enema content that is fried, but I don't know exactly what it is or how it might have gotten its name."
Drew asked for help from Language Log. Luckily this puzzle is particularly easy to solve.
The Chinese name of the dish in question is zhá guànchang 炸灌腸, which is a kind of sausage made of wheat flour stuffed into hog casings and fried. The last two characters, pronounced guàncháng, also have a completely different meaning, viz., "enema" or "give an enema" (literally, "to irrigate the intestine").
This is a good example of the spoken language being clearer than the written language — at least when one is relying on not-very-good machine translation.
Google Translate renders 炸灌腸 correctly as "fried sausage". Unfortunately, restaurants in China can no longer use that method to improve the lexicographical appeal of their English-language menus.
Hey. Many thanks for posting this and clearing up how this thing came to be.
Surely the pronunciations "guànchang" and "guàncháng" are the same in the underlying phonemic/tonemic representation, and are just realized differently due to the former being a nounal compound ("closer") and the latter being a verbal compound ("more distant"), or something like that. No?
In which case the spoken language produces no more of a disambiguation over the written language than the spoken English language disambiguates over the possible meanings of the written English sentence/phrase "I saw her duck".
But I'm no expert in Chinese.
And why isn't the iconic relationship between semantic and phonetic/prosodic "closeness" part of spoken language disambiguation?
@J. Goard: It… is, I'd say. All I'm saying is that there's nothing particularly ambiguous about the Chinese writing system in this example.
The modern 炸灌腸 contains no meat and requires no pig casings. Thus, translating it as a 'sausage' is a bit misleading.
Note that in the video link, the narrator pronounces this dish as "guàncháng" (yes, the same as enema), not "guànchang".
Bing's Translator gives the version: fried enema.
Fluxor is right — if you order 炸灌肠 in a restaurant in Beijing, you'll get deep-fried chips of rice(?) flour and a bowl of garlic sauce to dip them in. Cheap, cheerful, and – despite the name – unrelated to intestines or flooding thereof.
As for pronunciation: I've always heard the dish pronounced as zhà guànchángr, whereas the 灌肠 meaning "enema" is never erized.
Here is an explanation of sorts.
fs: "I saw her duck." When you made that comment, I was sure you must be wrong, since there are different ways of enunciating it, but when I practised saying it, I discovered you're right.
Adrian Bailey (UK): I can only assume he is referring to the Northern tendency to append 儿 (er2) to (mostly?) noun phrases (whereupon it is often written in pinyin simply as "-r") as "erization".
Anyone else aware of other exceptions?
"And then I stitch it back together."
So is this an analog to kishkes?
Can someone please make a new LL post so this isn't at the top of the screen anymore? The title makes me slightly ill.
中文菜单英文译法 Chinese Menu in English Version renders "灌肠" as "Starch Sausage". Google isn't necessary.
And then there's the Vertical Sausage Stuffer/Enema Machine made by Linyi Zhengtai Machinery Factory.
@Aaron Toivo: Be careful what you wish for, the next one might be worse.
I've tried making it, but mine never comes out right.
If the dish really is made of wheat, it sounds like a form of seitan, which trumps dish names like "Starch Sausage".
I suppose starch could help in cases where the "sausage" or chips were made of rice.
Fried "enema" is not seitan at all. Very different consistency.
Is 聊天 liáotiān not rhoticized in Beijing, or are you not counting that as a verb phrase?
Hi all. Thanks so much for your input on this. It's very helpful for someone like me who knows little of Chinese. But I have one remaining question: It is a coincidence that a word that means "sausage" would so closely resemble the verb that literally translates as "to irrigate the intestine"? I ask because there's a certain visual resemblance between an intestine and a sausage, at least in Western culture. And I know the English word colon comes from a Greek word that can mean both "intestine" or "food/meat."
Again, thanks for all your help. You guys rock.
AFAIK, 'guan' usually means to pour something into something. That's where you get 'irrigate,' and I can easily see that being extended to stuffing a sausage casing ('chang').
Sausage casings are traditionally made from intestines, so there is no coincidence.

The first Snapdragon 865 phone has been announced. But it's not a Samsung.
Image: ZTE
By Stan Schroeder 2020-02-07 12:25:33 UTC
Samsung will announce its Galaxy S20 on February 11, and that phone will almost surely have Qualcomm's new, Snapdragon 865 chip on board.
But China's ZTE has stolen a tiny bit of Samsung's thunder by announcing a smartphone with a Snapdragon 865 a few days earlier (via Android Authority).
The phone is called the ZTE Axon 10s Pro, and it's solid but not stellar in terms of other specs; in fact it's quite reminiscent of last year's Axon 10 Pro. It has a curvy, 6.47-inch AMOLED display with a 2,340x1080 resolution, a 48/20/12-megapixel rear camera, a 20-megapixel selfie camera, 6/12GB of fast, LPDDR5 RAM and 128/256GB of storage.
The screen's got a waterdrop notch in the middle (no fancy 3D scanning here, though face recognition is present) and an in-display fingerprint sensor. Other highlights include stereo speakers, a 4,000mAh battery, and ZTE's MiFavor10 software paired with Android 9 Pie.
But the Snapdragon 865 does make the phone interesting. It gives it 5G and likely makes it one of the fastest smartphones currently on the market.
ZTE's bragging rights of having the first Snapdragon 865 phone are only on paper, though, because neither the price nor the release date for the Axon 10s Pro have been announced.

And while ZTE recently said it's cancelling its press conference at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona later this month, the company later confirmed it will have a presence at the show, showcasing new 5G devices. Perhaps the Axon 10s Pro will be one of them.

Impact of the Second Wave of COVID-19 on the Waste Pickers Community
Authored by Rohini Malur, Hasiru Dala
The second wave of COVID-19 hit all of us harder in 2021 than we expected; this in spite of the catastrophic effects of the 2020 lockdown. The first lockdown resulted in extreme food insecurity, and devastated the informal recycling market. The informal economy was still reeling when the lockdown in Karnataka was announced at the end of April this year.
As before, NGOs stepped in to ensure food relief, together and separately. But food insecurity was not the only concern. Livelihood support and food for waste workers who needed to work through the lockdown was also a priority. Hasiru Dala opened a fundraising campaign on Ketto, aiming to give rations for over 6,000 families in the areas where we work, livelihood support, medical support for waste pickers affected by COVID-19. We extended our campaign with the lockdown and also reached out for institutional support. The generosity of individuals who donated and campaigned for the cause cannot be set aside - we reached our fundraising goals and closed the Ketto campaign page before the lockdown was lifted.
Food rations for the communities needed to be distributed with a great deal more care than last year; COVID-19 was spreading through the communities and our team was also vulnerable. As we sent rations to 9,011 families in Bengaluru alone we had to rely on vendors, volunteers and coordinators to ensure that everyone who needed food, received it. We coordinated with other NGOs to ensure that we could communicate needs to each other and cover every part of Bengaluru.
Livelihood support (and daily meal support) for workers in Dry Waste Collection Centres was also a priority in Bengaluru. With the support of WaterAid India, 256 DWCC workers received a direct cash donation of INR 2,000 which allowed them to continue work during the lockdown period without worrying about lack of income due to lack of buyers for recyclables.
And urgently, COVID-19 affected the community in 2021 as it had not the year before. Isolation became a critical necessity, and in some cases hospitalisation. But there were huge challenges for both these actions - for one, waste pickers often live in communities with no options for privacy, or even individual toilets. Where are the people who are affected supposed to go for this essential self-quarantine? For another, in the early days of the lockdown, our public (and private) health infrastructure was overwhelmed, and in many cases it was almost impossible to find a hospital with beds to spare. The protocols for isolation and hospitalisation for mothers, children and pregnant women were particularly tough and difficult to navigate. In many cases, neither the hospital authorities, nor the team knew what the best options were for care. Deaths in the community in the early days of lockdown were sometimes entirely due to lack of accessible care.
Hasiru Dala worked to ensure medical care was available for those who needed it, and in collaboration with HBS Hospitals, Karnataka Covid: Jeevan Anmol, Mercy Mission, St. Joseph's College and Titan Company and XLRI Alumni Association organised a Covid Care Centre at St. Joseph's College where underprivileged people (men, women and children) could have a place to isolate themselves and receive necessary medical care.

Video of the St Joseph COVID Care Center: https://youtu.be/PPI64ClJ8ag
During the lockdown and after, ensuring that waste pickers and their families can access vaccinations is a priority. A lot of work needs to be done to demystify both COVID-19 and the vaccine so that the community is not operating from a place of fear and mistrust. Vaccine registrations are proceeding apace and we are hopeful that a rapport can be built to ensure the population is vaccinated in time.
Vaccination drives began before the lockdown was imposed, as we worked with PHCs to organise vaccinations for the communities. Through the lockdown we continued those partnerships, and were also supported by Bounce which provided a safe space to meet. With Saamuhika Shakti partner LabourNet and support from ACT Grants, Hasiru Dala conducted the first joint vaccine camp mid-June. More such camps are planned in the coming months. We've reached 559 people from the community so far through such drives and need to increase engagement. To counter fake news and myths around the after effects caused by the vaccine, BBC Media Action is helping Hasiru Dala develop communication material to share within the waste picker communities in English, Hindi and Kannada.
Assuming Bengaluru and the state can reach some sort of 'new normal', the issues of financial security and health care infrastructure that have now been exposed as fragile and vulnerable to breakdown, will have to be addressed to ensure that those of us who are forced to live on the margins have adequate protection against disasters which can strike at any time.


When the wrong twin is sent to save the world, we're all in for trouble.
YouTuber Anna Akana has been making visually engaging and dramatically satisfying content for years, but her most recent venture goes above and beyond with a sci-fi adventure we wouldn't be shocked to see on the big screen.
In Miss Earth, Akana pulls double duty as a pair of twins, one whom is supposed to represent the Earth at an intergallactic competition to save the planet, while the other is winning beauty competitions at home. Naturally, the wrong twin ends up beamed up to the world-saving competition for which she's wholly unprepared. It's a mix of sibling rivalry and drama, as well as witty science fiction that keeps you on pins and needles as the fate of the world hangs in Akana's hands.
The costuming and makeup of the intergalactic competitors rival anything you'd see on a mainstream sci-fi production, and the 13-minute film funtions as a first episode to an incomplete webseries. It's a part of the New Form Digital Incubator series aimed at supporting digitally emerging filmmakers, and hopefully this will be the push Akana needs to continue producing Miss Earth. We think there's a lot more to mine here.

The Top Five Series: Current NFL head coaches
Photo courtesy of sportscasting.com
Rob Gordon — or Robin "Rob" Brooks, if you prefer a more current reference — is one of my kindred spirits from the world of fiction. Both Robs, based on the main character in Nick Hornby's 1995 novel, High Fidelity, love top five lists.
My natural predilection for ranking things, like the aforementioned Robs, dovetailed nicely with the NFL 100 All-Time Team that was part of the league's recent centennial celebration. The position players who were, or were not, included in the NFL's list became a hot topic of debate. A proper ranking was required.
Unlike the NFL, I did not select 10 head coaches, 10 quarterbacks, 10 wide receivers and 12 running backs for my team. In true High Fidelity style, I created the Top Five Series: A definitive ranking of the five best to ever play quarterback, running back and wide receiver, as well as the five best head coaches ever.
The Top Five Series returns for 2021, but instead of ranking the all-time greats, we will review the five best running backs, wide receivers and head coaches in the NFL before unveiling the annual quarterback power ranking at the end of August.
Let's get started with the best coaches in the game today.
5. Pete Carroll
112–63–1 record, 10–8 playoff record, Super Bowl XLVIII champion
Maybe Pete Carroll's obnoxious gum-chewing is a by-product of knowing his Seahawks have had no business being a perennial contender for the last decade.
Teams with mediocre offensive lines don't consistently win. It's like building a house with a shaky foundation — no matter how good the rest of the build looks, it will fail. And yet, Carroll's Seahawks keep winning. Seattle hasn't finished below .500 since 2011. The 2017 Seahawks finished 9–7 and were the only team to fail to win 10 games or make the playoffs in that same time period.
Carroll led Seattle to a Super Bowl victory in 2013 and should have done it the following season against New England in Super Bowl XLIX. Seattle's consistency under Carroll makes the Seahawks a consistent contender in the NFC's toughest division and their coach one of the best in the business.
4. John Harbaugh
Team: Baltimore Ravens
129–79 record, 11–8 playoff record, Super Bowl XLVII champion
Winning a Super Bowl is a tall order as it is, but doing so with Joe Flacco at the helm is especially noteworthy. In doing so, John Harbaugh became the only coach on this list who won a title without a quarterback who is either a lock to enter the Hall of Fame or on pace to end up in Canton.
Once Harbaugh had the chance to work with a truly talented quarterback, he made a choice few coaches would: Harbaugh completely rebuilt his team. Instead of making Lamar Jackson fit an existing mold, Harbaugh made the team fit his new quarterback. To say it was a success is a wild understatement, as the Ravens now appear poised to battle the Chiefs and Bills for AFC supremacy through the 2020s.
The Ravens are built to last because of their elite front office while the team finds success on the field because of their elite head coach.
3. Sean Payton
Team: New Orleans Saints
143–81 record, 9–8 playoff record, Super Bowl XLIV champion
Many will credit New Orleans' recent success to Drew Brees, but it is Sean Payton who quietly buoyed his aging quarterback while keeping the Saints among the NFL's ruling class.
Father Time is undefeated and he began taking Brees' arm strength a few years ago. Payton made sure nobody noticed by continuously retooling New Orleans' offense over the past few years. New Orleans hasn't missed a beat, winning 49 games over the past four seasons.
There is also something to be said about winning nearly 50 games in four years while your front office is regularly pushing all of its chips into the center of the table. New Orleans has made one win-now move after another, and yet, the Saints have remained a contender for four years and counting.
Sean Payton keeps the machine running. His biggest challenge lies ahead — for the first time in his head coaching career, Payton will not have Brees under center. His ability to coach up Taysom Hill and Jameis Winston may end up being Payton's most impressive accomplishment to date.
2. Andy Reid
Team: Kansas City Chiefs
91–37 record, 7–6 playoff record, Super Bowl LIV champion
Andy Reid was not appropriately appreciated until his Chiefs came from behind to win Super Bowl LIV. The victory immediately snapped Reid's Hall-of-Fame career into focus.
Reid is sixth in NFL history with 221 career coaching victories and will likely pass Curly Lambeau for fifth by mid-season. (Reid is actually fifth in combined regular-season and playoff victories and could pass Tom Landry for fourth in 2023.) But it isn't just the past that makes Reid great. Kansas City's head coach has built the perfect machine in the Chiefs' nearly unstoppable offense, comfortably setting the team's course to success for the near and intermediate futures.
The branches of Reid's coaching tree extend throughout the NFL and have heavily influenced the league's offensive revolution without Reid's direct involvement. Former Chiefs offensive coordinators Matt Nagy and Doug Pederson have already earned head coaching jobs while Reid's current lieutenant, Eric Bieniemy, is overdue for the same promotion. Sean McDermott, who led a successful rebuilding of the Bills, served as Reid's defensive coordinator in Philadelphia. The aforementioned John Harbaugh was on Reid's staff for nearly a decade before taking over in Baltimore.
Like another legend who reinvents himself after decades of experience, Reid continues to evolve after more than 20 years as an NFL head coach. Reid has built one of the best offenses in NFL history while stocking the league with new, bright, innovative coaches. And he's not done yet.
1.Bill Belichick

From the Great Pyramid of Giza and Stonehenge to the Colosseum and the Taj Mahal, man has never shied away from an extreme building challenge, and the LEGO builders of the twentyfirst century are no different. Whether they're re-creating the works of ancient masters in brick form, building life-size superheroes, breaking world records with skyscraping towers, or firmly adjusting their thinking caps to program plastic robots, some LEGO fans are taking their passion for plastic to the extreme.
Sarah Herman, the author of A Million Little Bricks: The Unofficial Illustrated History of the LEGO Phenomenon, has brought together some of the world's most ambitious builders in a fact-filled showcase of truly mind-blowing models for this exciting illustrated book. Extreme Bricks chronicles the first attempts at large-scale models embarked on by the LEGO Group as well as the early work of LEGOLAND artists and builders and contemporary LEGO Certified Professionals who build big for a living. It charts the rise of AFOLS (adult fans of LEGO) and their increasingly spectacular models and gargantuan collections. Packed with two hundred color photographs to shock and surprise, the book also explores the popular building competitions and includes a closer look at the shockingly smart LEGO Mindstorms robots that can do everything from solving a Rubik's Cube to building their own LEGO models.

Restoration is a Team Sport
October 25, 2011 February 2, 2015 by Melissa
As EFCA pastors have learned, restoration is best done in community.
In 1997, following 20 years as a successful church planter in his native Costa Rica, Pastor Eduardo Castillo was facing his greatest personal failure: the dissolution of his marriage and family. Yet equally devastating was the reality that the blame fell squarely on his own shoulders: His failure to balance his personal life with his ministry life had driven his wife away and left a gaping wound that would take time, God's grace and many people to heal.
Reeling from the blow, Eduardo spent two years in God's "waiting room," wondering if he would ever return to ministry. In 1999, he felt called to move to the United States. Once there, he contacted a long-time friend of his father's, a missionary who had once started a Bible school in Costa Rica. Then retired and attending Faith EFC in Colorado Springs, Bill Brown took Eduardo under his care and began to restore hope.
Eduardo is indebted to American friends who offered friendship and ministry support, such as John Emig (at left, while visiting Eduardo in Costa Rica). John and his wife opened their home to Eduardo when he was living in Colorado.
In turn, Bill introduced Eduardo to Bruce Redmond, the EFCA Rocky Mountain District church-planting coordinator. Bill knew that Bruce had been searching for a Latino church-planting pastor. With Bill as interpreter/middleman, Bruce got to know Eduardo, saw his heart for God, connected with his passion for ministry and realized that before him was a man in the midst of a very positive process.
In 2000, Bruce invited Eduardo to join him in Colorado as part of a path of personal and ministry mentoring. "That brought healing to me," Eduardo says. "In Costa Rica, you have no intentional equipping or training to be a church planter. The churches are isolated. Now I felt belonging."
As Bruce mentored him through church-planting boot camps, pastoral gatherings and conferences, others also joined the restoration process: the EFCA's Board of Ministerial Standing, various pastors and church leaders, and his adopted church family at Fellowship Community Church in Centennial, CO.
To serve as an EFCA church planter, Eduardo knew that he must pursue EFCA credentialing, and one step of that credentialing included an extensive exploration of the cause of his divorce. Eventually, Eduardo's personal healing reached the point that he now considers his ex-wife and her husband to be good friends.
Finally, in 2001, with a renewed spirit and EFCA credentialing in hand, Eduardo was ready to return to ministry and launch his first Hispanic church plant.
Then came September 11.
The days following the World Trade Center disaster proved tumultuous for Eduardo because of immigration issues. Finally, with just days left on his religious worker's visa but the immigration issues not yet resolved, Eduardo returned to Costa Rica, hoping to not jeopardize his ability to later return.
While back in his home country, Eduardo soon realized that his visit would not be a temporary one. Senior leaders of the evangelical churches of Costa Rica began asking this newly trained leader for help in equipping the pastors of 3,500 mostly independent churches. And so he stayed.
What started as one pastor contemplating leaving ministry forever due to personal failures, 10 years later has grown into a movement called INCRESE—the Spanish acronym for the Institute for Healthy, Ecclesiastical Growth. Thus far, INCRESE has provided training for almost 1,000 pastors and church leaders and launched the Union of Evangelical Free Churches of Costa Rica.
And to think that it all began with a broken pastor, a restoration team who loved him and a God who never gives up on His children.

Firstbeat Heart Rate Monitors Approved For Use in ITF Competitions After LTA Application
Dec 18 2020 in News
Elite tennis players will for the first time be able to gain far greater insight into the impact of matches on their bodies and recovery times, after an LTA application for Firstbeat heart rate monitors to be used across ITF competitions was granted.
The news means that British players can now wear the Firstbeat Sports Sensor during tournament matches – a global first for tennis – which will allow them and their coaching teams to work with the LTA Performance team to analyze a vast new range of data relating to internal and external load, physiological response to matches and ability to recover.
Firstbeat transform heartbeat data into personalized information. Firstbeat Sports is a single-platform athlete-monitoring solution that provides data on training load, intensity, fitness, performance readiness, stress, and recovery. Over 23,000 athletes representing over 1,000 teams around the world rely on Firstbeat Sports for their advanced physiological metrics.
The successful application continues the LTA's drive to move the sport forward through innovation, and forms part of a wider LTA strategy to use advanced athlete monitoring technology to support elite players both when training at home and when competing on tour.
As well as pushing for its use on tour, the LTA has also made Firstbeat one of a number of technologies available to professional players training at the National Tennis Centre who are part of the LTA's Player Pathway and receive support through the governing body's Elite, Pro Scholarship and Men's & Women's Programmes.
Dan Lewindon, LTA Head of Performance Medicine & Science said:
"We are constantly looking to how we can better support and empower our players, coaches and practitioners throughout the LTA Player Pathway, and we're very pleased that this will be enhanced further through the granting of this application. While other sports have used this technology for many years, we are really excited to be working at the forefront of this field in tennis. Our overall aim is for the National Tennis Centre to continue to be the venue of choice for our best players and their teams to train, and for our highly experienced Performance team to support players on tour through the use of technology like this. The granting of this application will open the door to widespread, affordable use of similar technology, with a specific focus on the cardiovascular demands and 'loads' in training and matches."
Nigel Stockill, UK Performance Director, Firstbeat said:
"We are extremely proud to be working with the LTA on this ground-breaking partnership. By collecting Firstbeat data during matches, players and coaches alike will have access to actionable insights into how their body truly responds to match situations and stressors. This information will aid support staff – from coaches and analysts to physiologists – in devising more accurate and relevant training and practice sessions to best prepare world class athletes. Our technology is used across the globe by some of the world's elite athletes with the aim of helping to optimize performance and recovery and we're excited to help British tennis players do the same."
The LTA has put in place a 10-year performance strategy to develop and support the next generation of elite players, as one of the main pillars of its vision to open up tennis to many more people. When combined with the introduction of the new LTA Youth grassroots programme, it means for the first time there is now a clear pathway in place for every age and stage of a player's development from first picking up a racket through to competing against the world's best players.

Blackwater River Preserve has one of the best remaining examples of an ancient bald cypress forest in the southeast. Biologists estimate that some trees at this preserve exceed 800 years old.
Researchers have used the cypress trees at the preserve to investigate the demise of the original Jamestown colony, which they predate. The trees reveal climate variations over their lifetimes and indicate that a prolonged drought may have affected the colony's survival.
This site was donated to The Conservancy in 1994 by Arthur and Marie Kirk. It was a wonderful opportunity to protect the bald cypress trees.
Due to the swampy terrain and lack of access by road, the preserve is accessible only by canoe. Spring is the best time to visit because water levels are higher.
The nearest put-in above the preserve is at the Route 621 (Proctors Bridge Road) bridge. Paddlers can take out at the Route 620 bridge.
The preserve harbors a variety of birds, including the colorful prothonotary warbler. It's also home to reptiles, amphibians, snakes, turtles, and a few rare fish species.
In addition to the ancient bald cypress trees, the virgin swamp forest features large water tupelo, red maple, and persimmon.
Please note: dogs are not permitted at any Conservancy preserves.

Cross Lanes Bible Church strives for a well balanced music ministry with the goal of leading people together into worship of our great and mighty God. Church services include congregational singing of hymns, modern hymns, choruses, and meaningful contemporary praise songs both from the Celebration Hymnal and on a video screen.
The music ministry is enhanced through vocal and instrumental solos and ensembles from gifted members of the congregation and occasional guest musicians. Musical accompaniment is provided by piano, organ, guitar, brass, bells, and tasteful accompaniment tracks.
The Worship Choir meets weekly to rehearse on Sunday afternoons at 5 pm. We are so blessed as a choir to have a great time of fellowship and camaraderie. We continue to grow in our musicianship as well as in our relationships with each other and in our relationship to the Lord. Choir rehearsal is a favorite time of the week that is lighthearted, positive, and affirming; and better yet, we regularly experience moments of true worship in the midst of our rehearsing.
The Worship Choir works on musical selections about eight weeks in advance of presentation. Of course, the fall and Christmas music is a busy time of preparation and so is the spring. In the summer, the choir goes into summer mode, with rehearsals for one hour only at 7 pm on Sundays, with a much lighter and easier, more familiar music selections. All those with an ability to sing are invited to attend a rehearsal.
The handbell choir rehearses on Wednesday evenings in the Fall, Winter, and Spring from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm. The Bells of Praise are directed by Mrs. Jeanne Buckley and provide a variety of musical selections throughout the church year and for special occasions including, Patriotic services, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Missions, Easter, and Communion, etc.
Every year, usually the last Sunday in October, Cross Lanes Bible Church hosts a Friend Day that includes guest musicians that cap the day with a gospel music concert that evening. Previous guests include the Humphries, Jimmy McKnight, the Calvary Quartet, and others. This past year featured a gospel bluegrass by Corey Hensley.


Our High Quality shell and tube heat exchangers for solar pool heating systems are the best investment when Solar Water Heating is available for space heating and/or domestic hot water heating. In Summer Time, when space heating demand is non existent, most solar water heating system, generate heat that exceeds the indoor demand for domestic hot water heating.
A Pool Heat Exchanger allows home owners to divert the excess heat from Solar Collectors to Pool or SPA or a combination of both, thus maximising the efficiency and lowering the Pay Back period of your solar water heating investment.
Our swimming pool heat exchangers are designed by our special innovative tube designs, spiral twisted corrugation on the tubing surface, which were engineered to maximise the use of solar, Heat Pump or Boiler's energy; thus increasing the overall thermal efficiency of the system.

PHILLIPS-VAN HEUSEN LEASES 200,000 SF AT 200 MADISON
Cushman & Wakefield represents growing apparel company in corporate HQ lease
NEW YORK – Jan. 5, 2007 – Cushman & Wakefield announced today that Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation, one of the largest apparel companies in the world, has signed a 200,000-square-foot renewal and expansion at 200 Madison Ave. for its corporate headquarters.
Phillips-Van Heusen signed a long-term lease for 10 full floors at 200 Madison Ave., located between 35th and 36th Streets. It will renew the 150,000-square-feet it currently occupies on the 10th through 18th floors, and the 23rd floor. The firm will also expand by 47,629 square feet, taking the entire eighth floor.
Cushman & Wakefield's Matthew Astrachan, Mitchell Konsker and Steven Bauer of the firm's Midtown Manhattan office represented Phillips-Van Heusen in its site evaluation and in lease negotiations with the landlord, 200 Madison Associates, a partnership of George Comfort & Sons, Inc. and Loeb Partners Realty.

In October, Phillips-Van Heusen agreed to acquire tie maker Superba for $180 million.
Phillips-Van Heusen was founded in 1876 and is headquartered in Manhattan. The company owns and markets the Calvin Klein brand worldwide.

H. Moser & Cie. has used the case from the Venturer collection and created a version made entirely out of sapphire. The finish on the case flanks with its unusual shapes, the exquisite bezel, the curve of the dial and the crystal, the proportions which echo the convex forms of the 1960s – the beauty of all these features is amplified by the transparency of the sapphire. This completely transparent showcase offers an unimpeded view of the HMC 802 automatic calibre with all the small details and fine finishes on full display. The interchangeable minute tourbillon at 6 o'clock is certainly eye-catching, while on the reverse is the solid gold engraved bidirectional rotor.
The Venturer Tourbillon Sapphire is a unique piece, and its price is CHF 1,200,000.
