Matcha Marshmallow Corn Flakes Squares inspired by Saving Grace
Aaaaaah, April 20th...aka the day when pot smokers around the world (or maybe it's just the country?) raise their buds high as a nod to the fact that it's 420 ALL DAY LONG. If you're not familiar with the history, there are all sorts of 420 origins stories. The one that I heard back in the days was that 420 was the police code for "marijuana smoking in progress" in California, so as a way of sticking it to the man, the date has blossomed into a day to salute the herb.
Those were the days before Google, so I figured I'd google it to see if that was true. Well, to some people it is, but I did find some other supposed roots in the number. Maybe that's part of its appeal? Anyway, since the day is upon us, my f'ing fab friend Sophia from NY Foodgasm suggested we make some 4/20-inspired food. With so many fun ideas floating around in my head, I happily agreed.
I decided to take one of my favorite stoner movies and use it as inspiration. I have a fairly long list of favorites that includes Dazed and Confused, Pineapple Express, Half-Baked, The Big Lebowski, Friday, anything Cheech & Chong, any Harold and Kumar flick, and the awesome British stoner flick, Saving Grace (my choice for today).
This movie from 2000, is set in a small fishing village in Cornwall, England. It begins with the funeral of Grace's husband, who has recently jumped from a plane without a parachute. Although she knows he was having an affair, she soon finds out that the comfortable life she was accustomed to was about to be pulled out from under her due to bad inventments and mortgaging their house to the hilt. He owed all sorts of people money...meaning she now owes all sorts of people money.
Grace is sort of "high society", holding regular tea parties and gatherings in her home. She's also an amazing gardener who lovingly and expertly grows orchids in her greenhouse. She's kind and well-liked (and according to a friend, she has amazing hair). But she doesn't know how she can possibly raise the kind of money needed to save her home in the short time period she was given.
Fortunately Grace has a horrible gardener-slash-maintenance-slash-all-around-handy-man named Matthew who, along with his good friends, likes to smoke pot. He'd been unsuccessfully trying to grow some plants in a hidden (and dark) spot on the church grounds, and asked Grace if she help his plants. From here, an idea hatched...in both of their minds. With her green thumb and his knowledge, they could grow, harvest, and sell enough hydroponically grown bud to pay off the debt that Grace's late husband left her and still have profit to split!
Well, as you can probably guess, hijinks and hilarity ensue. While they do their best to do this in secret, the whole village basically knows what Grace and Matthew are up to. But this is a tight-knit community, and they keep their mouths shut.
There is plenty of smoking throughout, and food is seen or mentioned quite a few times, but mostly in an offhand way. From the food seen at the funeral in the opening scene to drinks in the local pub to locally caught fish to the term "salmon poaching" (which seriously made me consider making poached salmon).
But there is one scene in particular...my favorite scene in the whole movie, in fact...that takes the cake as far as food goes in Saving Grace. And it's a "munchies" scene, of course. It begins with 2 ladies from the village. This is towards the end of the film, so we're deep into it. They stop by Grace's for a lunch that they'd arranged a while ago, but Grace had forgotten about it, and was in London trying to arrange a buyer for their crop.
"Would you like some Corn Flakes? They're heavenly."
The ladies eventually wander into the greenhouse and Harvey, a friend who has been tasked with watching the house and the plants, answers their inquiries about what Grace is growing with the fairly genius reply of "tea". Well, these ladies like tea, and one of them has very sticky fingers. So, they go home and she brews them a pot of tea using Grace's special tea leaves.
These two also run (and own, perhaps?) the town store. When somebody looking to collect a debt from Grace later and asks them for directions, they are pretty off their rockers. The one who swiped the "tea" leaves pops up from behind the counter asking if he'd like some Corn Flakes. If you have't seen it, it might be hard to imagine why it's so funny...but trust me, it really is. You can catch a glimpse of that scene and so much more in this trailer (or scroll to the bottom for the entire store scene):
How could I not use that scene as inspiration? And what stoner wouldn't love to munch on a couple of these gooey, marshmallow corn flakes squares!? For a bit of fun, I infused them with some Matcha, as a nod to the "tea" that made the corn flakes so heavenly in the first place. These are also super simple to make, even when you're flying high (or so I'd imagine). Plus, they're equally as delicious and addictive when you're stone sober.
Matcha Marshmallow Corn Flakes Squares
These marshmallow corn flakes squares infused with Matcha are the perfect way to satisfy the munchies!
Prep Time: 5 minutes (active) + 30 minutes (inactive)
Keywords: dessert marshmallows matcha bars American
Ingredients (16 squares)
4 ounces (1/2 cup / 1 stick) unsalted butter
1 tablespoon Matcha green tea powder
pinch of fine salt
6 cups mini marshmallows
6 cups Corn Flakes
Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment or wax paper and grease it lightly.
Place the butter in a large non-stick pot over low heat until melted. Stir in the Matcha and salt until no dry spots remain. Add the marshmallows and cook, stirring almost constantly, until they are completely melted.
Dump the corn flakes into the pot and gently stir until they are entirely coated in marshmallow. Scoop into prepared pan and use a greased heat-safe rubber spatula or greased hands to press down into an even, compact layer.
Allow to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares and devouring!
Have you seen Saving Grace? What is your favorite "stoner movie"...and what type of food would it inspire you to whip up?

This week though, was asked by someone I'd worked with doing some freelance work could refer me to a colleague. Within minutes, I was writing out the response text to say "sure, thanks for asking." But then I stopped. I started thinking about the kind of work I'd done with them in the past and how that wasn't what I wanted to be doing. Could I do it? Yes. But want to? No. And so, after thinking and praying about it, the next morning I wrote him and declined, referring them instead to a former colleague who specializes in that type of work. And it felt great!
Before I made the decision, I felt anxious, nervous about saying no, but once I did, once I was true to myself, I felt free. Later in the week, I was involved in a situation by default and the discussion was around a topic that I'd rather not think about for hours on end. It was necessary, but negative, draining, and I could feel the uneasiness in my stomach all day. In that case, I didn't have a choice. But in many cases, I do, you do.
Think about it this way. Those things you really love to do, you do with all your heart. Could be something creative, could be cleaning, cooking, or golf, skiing, cycling, or swimming, or maybe you work on cars, or are a collector…only you know what that thing is, but when you're doing it, it's your jam. You lose track of time. For me, it's being creative, and it's engaging with others and helping them move their lives forward, whether it be at home or at work. When I'm in that space, I'm in it with all my heart. I'm engaged, and focused.
What I've learned is that the greater degree to which I can stay in the sweet spot, the better results I'm going to have. AND, the more focused and productive I'll be. Think about it for yourself. Do you know your sweet spot? If you do, what percent of your day are you spending in that space? And if you're not spending a lot of time there, why not?
If you don't know your sweet spot, you have a unique opportunity. One which could lead you to feel like you're all in, engaged, and creating a fulfilling life. I know that, for me, I've spent too much time trying to please others, and saying yes when I really want to say "heck no." And it's not about only doing what I want, or what I'm good at. It's about being in that sweet spot where I know I'm using gifts that I'm meant to be using. My own 'special sauce.' So if you're still looking…not quite sure what the sweet spot feels like, saying yes when you want to say no, spend some time on it, dream. If you need a little help, or guidance on your journey, that's what I'm here for, it's my sweet spot.

9 wrestlers (and one Terminator) shockingly dumped from WWE 2K17
By Ben Wilson 02 September 2016
The final WWE 2K17 roster is in place – and while new faces such as Bayley, Asuka, Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles are welcome, their inclusions have come at the expense of a few WWE 2K16 favourites.
In some cases, such as Bad News Barrett, Adam Rose, and Damien Sandow these omissions are understandable; all three left WWE this year, Rose in particularly bitter circumstances. But other instances of wrestlers not returning for 2K17 are a touch more surprising – and we've dug out the ten most obvious head-scratchers.
10. Ryback
Like Barrett, Rose and Sandow, the Big Guy is no longer with WWE. Yet his release came in August, long after that of Stardust – who does make this year's roster. No Goldberg vs Ryback dream match in WWE 2K17, then.
9. The Terminator
Previous pre-order incentives The Ultimate Warrior and Sting were upgraded to the on-disc roster the year following their DLC debuts – but there's no such treatment for Arnie. Perhaps his fee was one even Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase couldn't afford.
8. Roddy Piper
Most characters added as DLC last year have made this year's on-disc roster – such as Big Boss Man and '90s tag-teams The Bushwhackers, The Enforcers and The Natural Disasters. But Hot Rod is surprisingly one-and-done in 2K series terms - at least for now.
7. Honky Tonk Man
This Elvis rip-off was a long way from elite in both videogame and real life, but a handy part of the WWE 2K15 and 2K16 rosters, if only to utilise as a jobber in Universe mode. In the same vein, Haku and The Nation Of Domination are frustrating losses this year.
6. Ken Shamrock
In terms of fantasy WWE opponents for Brock Lesnar, few have stronger credentials than Shamrock – a UFC hall of famer nicknamed the World's Most Dangerous Man. Lock those fantasies to WWE 2K16, folks; he's been mysteriously axed for the follow-up.

Local youth pastor running 50 km in support of Manitoba camp
Written by Libby Giesbrecht Wednesday, Sep 23 2020, 5:00 AM
Andre Vanderstoep is an avid runner. While he originally planned to run a different race on his birthday, Vanderstoep is looking forward to supporting a local ministry close to his heart on his 27th birthday doing what he loves most -- running.
Andre Vanderstoep will turn 27 on Sept. 27, but he won't be celebrating this birthday milestone with a day off.
Instead of spending his Sunday birthday resting, Vanderstoep will be completing the longest run he's ever done -- and donating the proceeds to a Manitoba ministry.
"Because of COVID, I had a lot of fall races that were cancelled, unfortunately ... so instead of losing a season of races, I wanted to do something meaningful and memorable and beyond just running for my own sake," says Vanderstoep.
Vanderstoep, an avid runner for the past six years, says he was first introduced to the sport by a friend from Providence University College.
"Shoutout to Gina [Turnbull] who ... took me for a run on the highways around Providence University. I haven't looked back since," Vanderstoep says.
"When you do a run, you feel like you accomplish so much and just that feeling of accomplishment really keeps me going."
It was back in June when Vanderstoep was really weighing his options for running over the summer and fall when he decided on his course of action. At the time, the Soul Sanctuary children's pastor was also speaking with friends from Camp Arnes.
"They shared, like many other non-profit organizations, that COVID had not been kind to them financially so it just made sense to dedicate the fundraising from this run to Camp Arnes," he says.
Vanderstoep, who worked at another Winnipeg church prior to moving to Soul Sanctuary, developed connections with several staff members at Camp Arnes and even spoke at the camp for a few weeks one summer. That, coupled with his support of the camp's work, resulted in his decision to ultimately support Arnes with his event.
"As a Christian pastor, of course, I stand behind Arnes' mission to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with kids, so it was an easy choice, I guess," says Vanderstoep.
Vanderstoep's initial plan was to run 27 miles on his 27th birthday and have 27 people donate $27.
He took to Facebook to share his GoFundMe page announcing the event.
"The response was substantial," Vanderstoep says. "I think I surpassed the goal in a day or two."
He pondered what to do next, seeing as the run was still a few months away. He decided to increase his goal.
🏃🏼❗🏃🏼❗🏃🏼❗ 50k Run Update: As we are now two weeks away from my run, I want to give two updates! First, when I posted...
Posted by Andre John Vanderstoep on Saturday, September 12, 2020
"I shared with those following this that I am prepared to run 50 kilometres if we can raise ... an additional $500 and get the goal up to $1,500," Vanderstoep explains.
That goal, too, was passed in a day. So Vanderstoep stretched his goal one more time.
"And that was to $2,700, to keep with the theme of 27," he says.
He didn't increase his running distance the third time, however.
Vanderstoep is just shy of that final goal as he prepares for his weekend run.
"It's only the second time that I'll have done [this] distance," Vanderstoep says. "I've done a 50 [kilometre] before but this will probably turn out to be a hair longer just because of the route that I chose but it will probably be the longest run that I've done."
Vanderstoep's planned route for his run on Sept. 27. (Andre John Vanderstoep/Facebook)
Vanderstoep says he hopes to start his run around 7:00 a.m. Sunday and finish his distance in about five-and-a-half hours.
His route, based in the south end of the city, will see him run around St. Vital Park, past St. Vital Centre, and around the Minnetonka, Pulberry, and Victoria Crescent neighbourhoods.
When he finishes, he will have run further than the distance of a full marathon.
"If people want to come out and wave while I'm doing loops, it will be a six-and-a-quarter loop, five times and I would love all and any encouragement," Vanderstoep says.
Camp Arnes will also participate in Vanderstoep's run.
"We are super thankful for Andre," says Jared Olojan, an office administrator for the camp. "He was a speaker back in 2019 and his week ... in all my years at Arnes, I haven't seen a sort of gospel response like Andre's week."
Olojan knows Vanderstoep personally and will represent Camp Arnes at Vanderstoep's run Sunday.
Beginning at 6:30 a.m., Olojan will be set up with a booth along Glen Meadow Street near the community garden with a sign letting people know how much money has been raised for the camp and how many laps Vanderstoep has completed.
Camp Arnes merchandise will be available for purchase with all proceeds going towards Vanderstoep's goal of $2,700.
Snacks and beverages will also be available and a draw will be set up to win a two-night stay at Camp Arnes' newly-renovated Redekopp cabin, a luxury two-storey cabin in view of Lake Winnipeg with four bedrooms and a full kitchen.
To encourage people to come out to the event, Olojan says the camp has a special offer.
Anyone who comes to bike, run, or skate a lap along Andre's route with the runner will receive some free camp merch for their support and participation.
"It's our way of saying thanks to people who come out to support Andre," Olojan says.

Brandon draws his coaching techniques from twenty years of experience on the water. As a rider who has always put heavy focus on proper style and technique, his coaching can best be described as creative, methodical, and purpose-driven. In the last ten years, Brandon has competed at the professional level, had photos in several magazines, and filmed one major video section in the 2008 release, Godspeed. In the past several years, Brandon had the opportunity to evaluate wakeboard wakes and surf waves of most makes and models for Wakeboarding Magazine, judge for prestigious events like The Masters and the Pro Wakeboard Tour, and most recently was included in 2019 Nautique media.
Additionally, Brandon is the director of marketing and the Oconee sales manager for WaterSports Central, and directs Georgia's grassroots wakeboard tournaments - the Georgia Wake Series. Grassroots wakeboard events are what kick-started Brandon's passion for watersports and an experience he wants to share with others, providing a platform for the stars of tomorrow to get their start today. Brandon's knowledge and passion of the sport is second to none, and a driving factor in why Georgia Wakeboard Lessons is one of the best schools in the world.
2009: Exclusive instructor at "Ambush School of Wake"
Brett's coaching is built on two decades of experience in the sport of wakeboarding. The combination of competing, free-riding, coaching, discipline for training, and love for the sport make his coaching second to none. Brett has multiple highlights throughout his involvement in the sport that include ranking 7th in the nation in the Pro Mens division, along with a multitude of competitive achievements like winning a Pro Wakeboard Tour stop in the Jr. Mens division. In addition, physical fitness and proper diet has been a major focus for Brett, having unmatched discipline in training when training was not yet popular in the sport. His love for training and knowledge in human physiology helped propel him through a degree in Exercise and Health Science, certifications in personal training, and now as he blazes up the ladder as firefighter/paramedic. Referred to by many as "The Machine" because of his incredible consistency in riding and discipline in the gym, Brett's textbook technique and otherworldly physical fitness are a testament to the positive effects of building a solid base. Those qualities alone are primary factors in the school's success, but it's his other professional skillset as a certified paramedic that he has used to provide Georgia Wakeboard Lessons the direction needed to be the most prepared wakeboard and wakesurf school in the world.

Off the water, Blake is one of the most laid back guys in the game, but watch him ride for a few minutes and you'll see his expertise in proper technique and explosive pop. His textbook skills are the result of hours of training under Travis Moye and Jeff Langley of The Boarding School, household name Shaun Murray, and Georgia Wakeboard Lessons' own Brandon and Brett Lee. Blake took all that he absorbed as a student and perfected his own coaching skills at Callaway Gardens, where he taught over 200 riders how to wakeboard, wakesurf, and waterski over in his tenure as an instructor. We were fortunate to bring him on board two years ago, completing our team at Georgia Wakeboard Lessons.
Sam Henry, a powerful rider on the water and easy going off the water, is an incredible instructor. It's no fluke that Sam received Terminus Wake Park's 2014 Coach Of The Year award, as he has the ability to dissect a trick and then communicate it effectively to the rider, regardless of their age or skill level. Sam is just as comfortable with a 9 year old girl getting up for her first time as he is with a group of business executives taking a day out of the office for some team bonding. An expert wakeboarder, his instructional techniques are the culmination of training through multiple coaches, including O-Town Watersport's Glenn Fletcher, The Boarding School's Travis Moye, world-class wakeboarder Shaun Murray, World Wakeboard Center's Trevor & Reed Hansen.
Sam is also a sales consultant for WaterSports Central, Georgia's Nautique dealership, with a vast knowledge for Lake Oconee and its residents' needs.

It's been quite a month for the multifaceted Rihanna; on Sept. 12, she shut down New York Fashion Week with a Savage x Fenty show so hot it sent Fenty Beauty muse Slick Woods into labor. Two days later, she dazzled her celebrity friends with her fourth annual Diamond Ball, benefitting her Clara Lionel Foundation.
Then came the cover of Allure's Best of Beauty issue , which declared the 1-year-old Fenty Beauty and its founder part of "beauty history" for the 2017 40-shade launch of its award-winning Pro Filt'r Foundation.
And after starting September with new diamond-themed shades of her Universal Gloss Bomb and Killawatt highlighter, Fenty Beauty then gave us "Stunna Week," in which the beauty mogul debuted not one, but four new shades of her indelible Stunna Lip Paint, adding Unveil, Uncuffed, Unbutton and the matte black Uninvited alongside her already bestselling "universal red" shade, Uncensored.
Tired yet? We would be—but then, we're not Rihanna, who has been on an anniversary tour for Fenty Beauty this past month, making stops at Sephora and Harvey Nichols stores around the world to celebrate the brand that changed the beauty industry.
Rih matched the look with a silvery lip that looked suspiciously like a dusting of her Diamond Ball-Out highlighter over Gloss Bomb, if you're trying to recreate the look for yourself. Or might there be a new shade of Starlit Hyper-Glitz Lipstick on the horizon?
Could be, because speaking of new shades, Fenty Beauty's next new drop will be a brand new holiday-themed, seven shade Killawatt Foil palette called Chillowt, due to go live on Oct. 12. If the palette is any indication, Rihanna's vision for winter is both shimmery and super-saturated—and, as always, wearable on every skin tone.
So, with all this new beauty, are there new bops on the horizon, as well? We're keeping ourselves limber in preparation for Rih's rumored upcoming dancehall album , but the bad gal has made it clear that she won't be rushed. After all, a good slow wind takes time.


At this point in our ongoing Crawl Budget series (Botify's response to Google's confirmation that crawl budget is real and that it can and should be optimized), you've learned how to identify your Crawl Ratio and the value of knowing Google's Crawl Frequency.
Now, we'll look at how to know whether you're spending your Crawl Budget wisely and some steps to prevent waste.
Let's start with the easiest to identify: what is the share of non-200 (or 304) response codes in your crawl activity. In Google Search Console you can get a list of errors and a trend line, but not a daily percent of total crawl. So to get to the facts, you need log file analysis for SEO.
In the example below we see a small publisher (< 100k pages) that already had a somewhat high share of non-200 response codes in its crawl (40% on average). But one day (Jan. 31, the blank spot in the chart) a bug was introduced causing previously unseen malformed URLs to be crawled. Those bad URLs eventually consume 90% of the crawl.
The malformed URL pattern was classified (error, in the chart below) using URL segmentation to make it easier to understand its effect on the rest of the site. The chart below shows that all of this change was attributable to the malformed URL problem and the effect was to marginalize crawl of the publisher's core, valuable page types.
Since there was a clear pattern in the URLs, this publisher can update its robots.txt file to stop spending crawl budget on URLs that will not help it drive traffic.
With classification of important SEO attributes and integration with log files, it becomes relatively easy to identify crawl of non-compliant URLs. The e-commerce site below has an extreme case of crawlable non-canonical URLs, in fact it was 97% of the one million pages crawled by Botify.
Even though the compliant URLs numbered only about 25,000, Google only managed to crawl little more than half in the course of a month. As we can see below, Google's crawl budget allowed for more than the total number of compliant URLs, but the remainder of the budget was spent on non-compliant URLs.
This is unfortunate since the site could potentially have achieved a near 100% crawl ratio, making it more likely that more pages would drive traffic. Another possible result of omitting this mass of non-canonical URLs from being crawled is that more pages could be crawled more frequently. As we saw in the previous crawl budget blog post, we find that more frequently crawled pages tend to produce more visits.
We can use the sharp increase in crawl of non-compliant URLs in the chart above as a launching point to investigate the change.
In this case, the change appears to have allowed crawlers into the site's faceted navigation. Google called this problem out as a waste of crawl resource years ago, yet it still exists as a problem to managed.
An increase in crawl volume exclusively on non-compliant URLs seems counterintuitive. The reason is likely that the site released code that introduced these as new URLs or removed restrictions from crawling them (removal of nofollow in links or meta tags or removal of a robots.txt disallow). Google likes to discover new URLs in case they will add value to its index.
This is an example where the site owner followed search engine recommendations - to use canonical links for faceted navigation or near-duplicate content. Unfortunately in this case the scale of URLs means in order to try to canonicalize everything correctly Google would need to crawl it all, taking attention away from the core, strategic pages that can drive traffic.
Since these pages are new and not very differentiated, it seems like a better option would have been to keep them from being crawled at all. That would have allowed crawl budget to be spent on valuable URLs while still letting users have the search refinement functionality.
Like any budget, Crawl Budget is a strategic resource to be managed to achieve your business objectives. Actively monitoring it can prevent you from squandering it on pages that aren't helping you drive more traffic and revenue. You can decide what is allowed to be crawled and organize your website to influence the Crawl Ratio and Crawl Frequency to produce the most traffic possible with the content you have.
Please share your experience with Crawl Budget waste, feedback, or questions about this post in the comments below! Look for future installments of this series to cover in more detail other factors that negatively affect Crawl Budget.

Yvette Laplante Morin
Born in Quebec City on March 31, 1928, Yvette Laplante was the fourth child of a family of seven. In 1952, at the Hôpital Saint- François d'Assise, she got her diploma in nursing. Her empathy towards patients as well as her colleagues quickly set her apart.
She met Michel Morin for the first time at the Plage du Foulon where, as teenagers, they went swimming during their summer holidays in the 40s. They met again in 1951 on the porch of Saint-Roch church in Quebec. Yvette's smile absolutely charmed her future husband.
In 1985, she and Michel settled in Knowlton where, with the help of their three children Pierre, Patrick and Lucie together with Renée, their stepdaughter, they built their own home, their pride and love. Yvette had a green thumb, especially helpful when your name is Laplante!
In 1988, Yvette became a volunteer at the Pettes Commemorative Library where she continued to volunteer until her retirement at Manoir Lac Brome in 2018.
With her keen sense of observation and her dexterity, Yvette developed a passion for watercolours. In cooperation with Marie Desmarchais et Julienne Saint-François, she created 'L'Artentrenous'. To this day, this bilingual group of artists is thriving.
Yvette left us on May 2, 2020. She formed a happy couple with her husband Michel for 67 years. We will also remember her as a caring and attentive person. Not to forget her contagious smile!
We extend our deepest sympathy to Yvette's family and more especially to Michel, who is a valued Tempo volunteer.

Trump Blasted by Former Staffer Miles Taylor for Deceptive Fundraising Payment Scheme
By Emily Czachor On 4/4/21 at 11:23 AM EDT
U.S. Donald Trump 2020 Election Fundraising
National security expert and ex-Trump administration official Miles Taylor criticized a fundraising tactic that the former president's reelection campaign used to collect recurring payments from donors on Sunday, following the publication of a New York Times report that brought the scheme to light.
"Donald Trump is the master of the politics of personal destruction," said Taylor during an MSNBC appearance Sunday morning, paraphrasing previous remarks to which he credited President Joe Biden's eldest son, Hunter Biden.
Taylor, who served as chief of staff to the former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristjen Nielsen until 2019, was targeted by Trump and his supporters after publicly denouncing Biden's predecessor. More than one year after his departure from the Department of Homeland Security, Taylor revealed himself to be the "anonymous" insider behind an expository Times opinion piece, and subsequent book, censuring Trump and his administration.
Responding to the recent Times report—which detailed a confusing fundraising stratagem wherein campaign donors unwittingly found themselves giving repeated payments to Trump's reelection bid—Taylor called the former president's administration a "scam" and said the same of his second-term run for office.

"This man is a grifter, he's a con artist and he's cruel," Taylor said. "We have to look back at this period and learn a lesson, and see the total damage done by bad rhetoric coming from our nation's leaders, and how much of an effect it can have on our country and our own civility as Americans."
On Saturday, the Times reported that many of Trump's campaign donors—including a Kansas City man battling cancer while in hospice care—intended to offer one-time payments to the presidential bid, but realized later that thousands of dollars had been collected from their bank accounts via an illusive recurring donation system.
"That was especially devastating," Taylor noted during his MSNBC interview, explaining that his mother is a hospice nurse and has experienced firsthand "how difficult life is for people at end of life."

"And to raid someone of their money at the end of their life has got to add onto that hardship for the whole family," he continued.
The former DHS official went on to describe Trump as "a major-league all-star of grifting."
"Donald Trump one time said that he was glad that there was a coronavirus pandemic because it meant that the didn't have to shake the hands of his disgusting supporters," Taylor recalled. "So, on the one hand, Trump doesn't want to shake their hands, but he wants to raid their pocketbooks."
Newsweek reached out to Trump's office for comment, but did not receive a reply in time for publication.
Correction 4/7/21, 11:46 AM ET: This story was updated to include Taylor's full name on first reference. A previous version did not include his surname.

Q: How much are $\sum_n X_n$ and $\sum_n X_n X_{n+1}$ independent in a random walk? I was thinking about a problem in combinatorics and came up with an idea of estimating the joint probability distribution of multiple quantities related to a Markov chain. Let's say $(X_n)_{1 \leq n \leq N}$ is a Markov chain with a finite state space $S$. The quantities I am interested in have the form
$$\sum_{1 \leq n_1 < n_2 < \cdots < n_k \leq N} f(X_{n_1}, X_{n_2}, \cdots, X_{n_k}),$$
for some function $f : S^k \rightarrow \{ +1, 0, -1 \}$.
These are very complicated sums, so I would like to start by considering a simplified model. Let $(X_n)_{1 \leq n \leq N}$ be i.i.d. random variables which take values $\pm 1$ with probability $1/2$ each. Consider the two quantities
$$S_N = \sum_{1 \leq n \leq N} X_n \quad \text{and} \quad T_N = \sum_{1 \leq n \leq N-1} X_n X_{n+1}.$$
Of course, they are not independent; $S_N = \pm N$ forces $T_N = N-1$ and vice versa. But for moderate values of $S_N$ and $T_N$ (say, of magnitude $O(\sqrt N)$), I expect them to be nearly independent in the sense that
$$\mathbb{P}(S_N = s, T_N = t) \approx \mathbb{P}(S_N = s) \cdot \mathbb{P}(T_N = t) \quad (s, t = O(\sqrt N)).$$
How much are $S_N$ and $T_N$ independent in the limit $N \rightarrow \infty$? Would it be possible to give a bound for
$$\left| \frac{\mathbb{P}(S_N = s, T_N = t)}{\mathbb{P}(S_N = s) \cdot \mathbb{P}(T_N = t)} - 1 \right|$$
or the mutual information of $S_N$ and $T_N$? (Or any other measures of dependency?)

Regardless of which kind of backup strategy you use (on-premise or cloud) no practical organization today would like to take the risk of not having proper backups. Simply imagining the kind of information loss an email system crash could ensue is enough to give the Exchange administrator nightmares, let alone the pain of actually having to go through it. As such, a market flooded with Backup-and-Restore solutions is no surprise at all.
Although in most cases, Exchange administrators perform a restore of the entire database from its backup, there could be instances wherein, restoring a single mailbox from backup is needed. For example, a user might accidentally delete some important emails from his mailbox and send in a request to the administrator to restore his mailbox from the backup. In such situations, what is the best strategy to be followed?
Before going into the procedure, let us familiarize ourselves with some basics.
Usually, single mailboxes are not needed to be recovered from backup since after being deleted, a mailbox can be found in "Disconnected Mailboxes" under "Recipient Configuration". From here, it can simply be reconnected and restored. Thus, the steps we're about to explain apply to a situation where a deleted mailbox has been purged from disconnected mailboxes.
The recovery procedures below assume that the readers are familiar with the backup and restore procedures and that a full backup of the database exists.
Launch the Exchange Management Shell (EMS) and find out the mailbox server on which the database of the current mailbox resides.
Create a temporary user with mailbox located in the same database and give it an appropriate name (for example, add the word "Recovered" to the name).
In the DPM console, click on the 'Recovery' option and then on 'Browse' tab. From the list in the left hand side panel, select the Exchange server name where the database replica resides. The DPM will recover the mailbox from a standby database copy.
Select the recovery date and time from the calendar in the display.
Locate the mailbox in the Recoverable Item area. Right click on it and select 'Recover'.
Choose the option to 'Recover to an Exchange Server database' and type-in the server name and recovery database name prepared for the purpose.
Click remaining 'Next' buttons to start the process.
You must note here that you'll need to pre-create the target folder that will store the PST file and grant it full access to the Exchange Trusted Subsystem group.
Hand over the pst file to the user and delete the Active Directory account and mailbox of the temporary user (with the word "Recovered" in the name).
This method makes use of automated backup-restore software. We're taking the example of 2 popular products here.
When the process completes, close the Recovery Wizard.
Once the recovery database (RDB) has been created, select the mailbox database to be restored under store selections in the Backup Exec console.
Choose "Redirect Exchange Sets" under "Microsoft Exchange Redirection" and specify the Exchange server name under "Restore to server"
Choose "Redirect using Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) snapshot provider."
Choose "Redirect to storage group and/or Database (Exchange 2007 or later only)" and specify the name of the Recovery Database under "Restore to Database or Recovery Database"
Once restore completes, extract individual data items using EMS commands.
Converting the EDB file to PST format is the recommended way to restore mailboxes from edb file if you wish to make the process easier and also if none of the above processes yield satisfactory results.
To convert the data, click on Save from the main menu.
Choose target format for conversion. In addition to PST format, MSG, EML, HTML, RTF, PDF and Office 365 formats are available.
Hope one of the above mentioned methods is able to help you restore individual mailboxes in Exchange 2010. Again, avoid all hassles and risks by using third-party automated application to achieve EDB to PST conversion and extract desired data easily.

Tales of a Modern Jewish Woman
This week marks the 12th yortzeit, the anniversary of the passing of Rabbi Noah Weinberg Z"L (of blessed memory). He was the founder and Rosh Yeshiva of Aish HaTorah.
I was 25 years old when I heard him speak and he said "People who want to change the world start their own organizations".
I had this idea of a creating an organization that reached Jews from all of the world. After his talk I went to my computer and register JICNY.com and asked a friend to design a logo.
He inspired my journey to reach thousands of Jews.
I hope you enjoy some of my stories from my book. The story below is a true account of the Rosh Yeshiva.

Same army, different units
When people walk into our Manhattan apartment their eyes are immediately drawn to what may be an extremely bewildering plaque on our wall. Encased in a gold frame is certificate of gratitude from the founder and head rabbi at Aish HaTorah in Jerusalem thanking Gavin and me for our work in establishing the organization's Australian branch.
People who don't know us well will glance from the plaque to us to try to reconcile the dissonant information. Aish HaTorah followers are well known in the Orthodox world for their black hats and strict adherence to Jewish law. Anyone who knows Jodi and Gavin Samuels knows we are Modern Orthodox, we wear colors, I don't cover my hair and I sometimes even wear jeans.
These details may not mean much to people unfamiliar with the inner working of the Orthodox Jewish world, but our dissonant outward reflections of Judaism makes this plaque quite surprising!
Rabbi Yisrael Noah Weinberg, of blessed memory, was different.
Once I spoke to him about my wearing jeans, which was so out of place in his world.
"Jodi, God doesn't judge his soldiers and neither do I," he replied. "Just like an army needs many different types of soldiers and reinforcements, everybody plays a role in God's kingdom. And you're playing yours."
Rabbi Weinberg saw past my jeans. He saw in me someone that could contribute even though I didn't fit into his world and, somehow, I wasn't fired (from my volunteer role).
Weinberg's mission was to bring Jews closer to God. So was mine.
Rabbi Weinberg was famous for using the analogy that "the cattle cars have left the station" when comparing the loss of the Jewish people through assimilation to the Holocaust. He was very committed to see every single Jew return to the heritage.
After Rabbi Weinberg passed away in 2009, I was asked to speak at his shloshim (the observance thirty days after one's death) at Aish HaTorah headquarters in New York. The crowd was milling with mostly men and nearly all of them black-hat rabbis. I was wearing a modest dress, but with bright colors and a V-neck, clearly not modest enough. People couldn't believe that "she" was one of the speakers.
I texted a friend who worked there before I was to go up on stage. "There's no way I can speak to all these rabbis! Please pour me a glass of wine," I wrote. I slipped out to "the bathroom" and downed the wine to calm my nerves.
But going up on stage to honor a man who had been so influential and real all those years was an honor. I recounted how I ended up bringing a group of students to Aish HaTorah because I wanted a free trip to Israel, and that I arrived without a skirt. I recalled how Rabbi Weinberg, years later, encouraged Gavin and me to go to New York and that I would surely continue my mission there. I was the girl who took his advice to change the world. And my own Jewish outreach organization was born.
Even though I'm no longer working for Aish HaTorah, I remain inspired by Rabbi Weinberg's vision that we should not rest until we bring every Jew back to their roots.
My own journey shows the vast influence Rabbi Weinberg had on me and the ability he had to get others to maximize their own potential – no matter how they dressed.
May that be a lesson for us all.

This Part of ISO/IEC 23005 specifies syntax and semantics of description schemes and descriptors that represent sensory information. This international standard is applicable to enhance the experience of users while consuming media resources by stimulating human multi-sensor such as tactile, orfactory, light sense, temperature sense, etc.
NOTE 1 The actual RàV/VàR Adaptation is deliberately informative and left open for industry competition.
NOTE 2 Additional informative information can be found in Annex A.
MPEG-V Part 3 Sensory information specifies the Sensory Effect Description Language (SEDL) as an XML Schema-based language which enables one to describe so-called sensorial effects such as light, wind, fog, vibration, etc. that trigger human senses. The actual sensorial effects are not part of SEDL but defined within the Sensory Effect Vocabulary (SEV) for extensibility and flexibility allowing each application domain to define its own sensorial effects. A description conforming to SEDL is referred to as Sensory Effect Metadata (SEM) and may be associated to any kind of multimedia content (e.g., movies, music, Web sites, games). The SEM is used to steer actuators like fans, vibration chairs, lamps, etc. via an appropriate mediation device in order to increase the immersive experience of the user. That is, in addition to the audio-visual content of, e.g., a movie, the user will also perceive other effects such as the ones described above, giving her/him the sensation of being part of the particular media which shall result in a worthwhile, informative user experience. The concept of receiving sensorial effects in addition to audio/visual content is depicted in Figure 2.
The media and the corresponding SEM may be obtained from a Digital Versatile Disc (DVD), Blu-ray Disc (BD), or any kind of online service (i.e., download/play or streaming). The media processing engine - also referred to as the adaptation engine - acts as the mediation device and is responsible for playing the actual media resource and accompanied sensorial effects in a synchronized way based on the user's setup in terms of both media and sensorial effect rendering. Therefore, the media processing engine may adapt both the media resource and the SEM according to the capabilities of the various rendering devices.
The usage scenarios are described in detail in MPEG-V Architecture (ISO/IEC 23005-1).

D.C. editor and former CBS, CNN correspondent named 2017-18 Pollner Professors
Deborah Potter (left) and Cheryl Carpenter (right)
The Washington, D.C., bureau chief for McClatchy newspapers and a former CBS and CNN national news correspondent will be the T. Anthony Pollner Distinguished Professors at the University of Montana School of Journalism for the 2017-18 academic year.
Cheryl Carpenter, who will teach at UM in fall semester, became bureau chief for McClatchy in 2015 after serving for 10 years as the managing editor of the Charlotte Observer in North Carolina. McClatchy owns newspapers in every sector of the country, including the Miami Herald, Kansas City Star, Sacramento Bee, Tacoma News-Tribune and Idaho Statesman.
Deborah Potter, the spring 2018 Pollner professor, covered the White House, State Department and Capitol Hill for CBS News from 1981-91 and reported on national politics and the environment for CNN from 1991-94. She is the president and executive director of NewsLab, a research and training organization for journalists that she helped found in 1998.
The professorship is named after T. Anthony Pollner, a UM journalism graduate who died in 2001. An endowment supported by his family and friends allows the school to bring leading journalists to UM for a semester to teach a course and mentor the staff of the Montana Kaimin, the student newspaper. More than two dozen distinguished journalists, including several Pulitzer Prize winners, have spent a semester teaching at the journalism school since the program's inception.
Carpenter has overseen many investigations, most recently McClatchy's partnership with news organizations worldwide in examining the Panama Papers, documents that showed thousands of offshore investors were engaged in fraud, tax evasion and avoidance of international sanctions. She will teach a course on the ethical and practical issues reporters face, particularly when dealing with leaked documents. Carpenter holds a bachelor's degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a master's degree in organizational development from Queens University in Charlotte, and was a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University in 2005, studying ethics and leadership.
Potter has extensive journalism experience in both radio and television, from the local to the national level. In addition to working as a correspondent for both CBS and CNN, she was a contributor and host for several PBS programs. At NewsLab she leads workshops for journalists in the United States and around the world, focusing on reporting and writing the news, social media, online and visual storytelling, and journalism ethics. She has been a visiting professor at the University of North Carolina and the University of Arkansas, and she was on the faculty at the Poynter Institute and American University. She will teach a course on journalism and the public trust. Potter holds a bachelor's degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a master's degree from American University in Washington, D.C.

The Hard Way Selected as Banff Finalist
The Hard Way was awarded Best Short at the September 2016 Trail Running Film Festival Seattle
The Hard Way Documentary – the inspirational story about 89-year-old ultra runner Bob Hayes, has been selected as a Finalist for the 2016 Banff Mountain Film Competition. In its 41st year, the Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival is one of the most prestigious mountain film festivals in the world. Presented by National Geographic and The North Face, it takes place October 29 – November 6, 2016, at Banff Centre in Banff, Alberta, Canada.
The Hard Way is the inspirational story of Bob Hayes, an 89-year-old who runs 30 races each year, cuts his firewood by hand and does things the hard way to remain active and alive. The film takes us on a journey that's about more than running, it teaches us to live life with purpose and momentum. Montana independent filmmakers Erik Petersen, of Clyde Park, and Jeremy Lurgio, of Missoula spent more than a year documenting Hayes' story about remaining active and vital as he approaches 90.
"He lives an authentic, inspirational life, and we were lucky enough to document that," Petersen said. "Being selected as a finalist to Banff is just icing on the cake."
"Bob lives the way many of us hope to in our later years. He has a nice balance of hard work, running and being active in the community," Lurgio said. "He still contra dances, he goes to the library and continues to learn all the time. It's just really inspiring."
Erik and Jeremy are traveling up to Banff for the festival this weekend.
The Hard Way will screen November 5 and 6 in Banff, Alberta.
Other scheduled screenings:
November 5, 2016 – Missoula, Montana – The Missoula Trail Running Film Festival will feature The Hard Way at The Wilma Theater.
If selected for the Banff Official Tour, The Hard Way will play in Missoula at the Banff Mountain Film Festival at the Dennison Theater Nov. 13th.

Standing Rock Reporting Trip Gets Big Attention
Montana Journalism Review (MJR) students and J-School Professor Jason Begay on the road to Standing Rock.
Following a five-day trip to the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, a team of journalism students and a professor have been at the center of a lot of media attention, a sign that coverage of the intertribal stand against the Dakota Access Pipeline is both sorely lacking but also highly sought after.
During Labor Day weekend, Associate Professor Jason Begay and three students—grad students Matt Roberts and Lailani Upham, and undergrad senior Olivia Vanni—drove to the North Dakota campsite where an estimated 250 tribes have gathered to stand against a massive oil pipeline project.
"The Journalism School faculty thought it made sense that we have a student presence at Standing Rock, since we consider ourselves to be leaders in Native American journalism," said Begay, who teaches the Native News reporting teams to the Montana's seven reservations every spring. "But I don't think we anticipated the kid of attention we eventually found."
The students were reporting for the Montana Journalism Review (MJR) and were looking to research how the media was covering the Standing Rock camp. Standing Rock Sioux tribal members have been camping at the site since May, as they challenge the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline, which would pump nearly 1,200 barrels of oil from the Eastern North Dakota to Illinois.
Although the pipeline wouldn't go into tribal lands, it would cross the Missouri River just upstream from the Standing Rock reservation, including through an area sacred to the tribe.
The campsite has been billed as a non-violent demonstration by participants, but during the MJR reporting trip, violence rocked the area as tribal supporters and pipeline employees and security guards clashed over the construction site.
"It wasn't overt, but we could sense a shift in tone at the camp after that event," Begay said. "Everyone was just a little more cautious about who to talk to and why so many media reps had finally showed up."
Media attention increased exponentially for both the campsite and the reporting team. Before the team left North Dakota, they were interviewed for stories by both a Missoula TV and radio station. Begay was invited to write a story for the Butte Standard. Other programs that featured interviews and photos from the team include Public Radio International, Native America Calling and the Navajo Times.
Begay was also invited to talk about the trip on two panels at the Excellence in Journalism conference in New Orleans in mid-September.
"News media is really starved for any kind of on-the-ground coverage of the Standing Rock camp," Begay said. "Most of the media present at the site have been either local to the Bismarck area or the big outlets. Smaller, regional news companies really seem interested, but lack the resources to send their own people."
The Montana Journalism Review team is posting content from the trip on its Medium page and is expected to feature a longer story and media analysis
of the trip in its 2016 edition, due out later this year.

Posted on September 15, 2016 by Mike Glyer
(1) A BEST EDITOR WINNER. SFFWorld interviewed editor Ellen Datlow:
A working life spent reading SF, Fantasy, and horror short stories sounds like a dream come true. Are there down sides to being an editor? Do you have any advice for aspiring editors?
ED: I've always loved short stories, so working in the short fiction field is indeed the perfect job for me. It's hard to find time to read outside the genres in which I'm currently working. I mostly read short fiction for work, so picking novels that I hope I'll enjoy is the challenge. They usually have to be dark/horror so I can cover them in my annual Best Horror of the Year. The administration is a pain: sending out contracts, paying royalties to a hundred writers is onerous (even with Paypal). But everything else is great. I love the whole editing process, from soliciting new stories that would not exist except for me asking; working with my authors on story revision (if necessary); and even the line edit.
Advice: Read. Read slush. If you don't love reading, you have no reason to be an editor
(2) SCIENCE ADVISOR. Financial Times profiled Cal Tech physicist Spyridon Michalakis in "'I help Hollywood film-makers get their science right'". (Warning: I had to answer a 10-question survey ad to see the full article.)
In the article Michalakis discusses his work through The Science and Entertainment Exchange, "which connects film and TV producers with scientists." He's consulted on Ant-Man, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and other shows.
Here's what he had to say about Gravity:
"It's a shame when I see films that inadvertently forgo scientific accuracy for added drama. For instance, in the movie Gravity when Sandra Bullock's character grabs hold of George Clooney's character while they're both floating out in space, he tells her she has to let go of him, otherwise both of them are going to fly off and die because he's pulling her farther and farther away from the space station. The trouble is, they're so far away from Earth that, in reality, nothing would actually be pulling them.
"I find myself watching that scene and thinking they could have achieved the same drama just as easily with something called 'conservation of momentum." With this, the only way for her to get back to the station would be for Clooney's character to actively sacrifice himself by pushing Bullock away from him. It would have been real science and it would have made the movie better. You watch these things and you say to yourself, 'I'm just a phone call away.'"
(3) OHH-KAYYY…. The Washington D.C. public library has an idea for drawing attention to oft-challenged books. Is it innovative, or over-the-top?
Every year, libraries around the country observe Banned Books Week, to remind the public that even well known and much loved books can be the targets of censorship. This year, Washington D.C.'s public library came up with a clever idea to focus attention on the issue: a banned books scavenger hunt.
Now, readers are stalking local shops, cafes and bookstores looking for copies of books that are hidden behind distinctive black and white covers. There is no title on the cover, just a phrase — such as FILTHY, TRASHY or PROFANE — which describes the reason why some people wanted the book banned.

(4) SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL CONSERVATIVE. John Shirley, who identifies as a progressive, argues "Why Conservatives are a Necessary Component of a Vital Society" in a post for Tangent Online. I have to say it brings to mind the ending of Harlan Ellison's "Beast Who Shouted Love at the Heart of the World."
….Every democracy genuinely needs conservatives. And not so we can have someone to argue with. We need them for their perspective; we need them for their call for individual hard work, which is always a good thing in itself, when people can find it; we need them for the reluctance at least some of them show to get engaged in wars that squander blood and treasure. And we need them to be skeptical of our schemes.
We need them to push back.….
This website, Tangent Online, relates to the science-fiction field, and so do I. From time to time the sf field has been storm-lashed by political controversies, essentially conservative vs. liberal and vice versa. Going back, it cuts both ways: back in the day, Donald Wollheim and Fred Pohl and Judith Merril and others were slagged by conservative sf writers and editors for leaning left. Now the pendulum has swung way, way the other direction and certain reasonable conservatives amongst science fiction writers and critics are sometimes being over scrutinized, even punished, for outspokenness and some fairly normal speech tropes—most recently, Dave Truesdale was actually ejected from the Worldcon for having declared on a short story panel, in the space of a few minutes, that science fiction was being unfairly truncated by politics, and free speech gagged by political correctness emanating from the left. I listened to a tape of the remarks and could find nothing that broke any convention rules. Some defending the convention fall back on claims that his use of the term "pearl clutchers" is sexist, is hateful to women. But in my experience the term does not apply to women, particularly—it's about people who are making a drama of nothing, probably just to get attention. Underlying the con committee's action was, I suspect, emotional fallout from the "Sad Puppies" Hugo Award controversy. But people shouldn't let emotions dictate their interpretation of the rules.
(5) TODAY'S BIRTHDAY GIRL

(6) RICK RIORDAN PRESENTS. Disney has announced a new Rick Riordan Presents imprint reports Publishers Weekly. Riordan will curate a line of books that introduces selected writers of mythology-based novels.
Rick Riordan has gotten a variation on the same question from his fans about a zillion times: When are you going to write about (fill in the blank): the Hindu gods and goddesses? Ancient Chinese mythology? Native American legends?
Now, he has an answer – of sorts: Disney-Hyperion is launching Rick Riordan Presents, an imprint devoted to mythology-based books for middle grade readers. The imprint, which will be led by Riordan's editor, Stephanie Owens Lurie, hopes to launch with two books in summer 2018. The books will not be written by Riordan, whose role will be closer to curator than author.
…The plan is to launch the imprint in July 2018 with two books, though those books have not yet been acquired yet. "We've approached a couple of people but some of them are adult writers so they would be trying to do something completely different," Lurie said. "The point of making this announcement now is to get the word out about what we're looking for."
"Rick just can't write fast enough to satisfy his fans," said Lurie, whose official title will be editorial director of the imprint. "I think he's doing an incredible job writing two books a year already."
There's also this: "I know he feels that, in some instances, the books his readers are asking for him to write are really someone else's story to tell," Lurie said.
(7) MAJOR SF ART EXHIBIT. The IX Preview Weekend Popup Exhibition will take place at the Delaware Art Museum in Wilmington, DE from September 23-25. Tickets required.
Imaginative Realism combines classical painting techniques with narrative subjects, focusing on the unreal, the unseen, and the impossible. In partnership with IX Arts organizers, the Delaware Art Museum will host the first IX Preview Weekend, celebrating Imaginative Realism and to kick off IX9–the annual groundbreaking art show, symposium, and celebration dedicated solely to the genre.
Imaginative Realism is the cutting edge of contemporary painting and illustration and often includes themes related to science fiction and fantasy movies, games, and books. A pop-up exhibition and the weekend of events will feature over 16 contemporary artists internationally recognized for their contributions to Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, Avatar, Marvel, DC Comics, Blizzard Entertainment, and Wizards of the Coast, among others.
There will be workshops by two leading sf artists as well.
Sept 24 @ 7:00 pm
Workshop with Bob Eggleton: Seascapes Sept 24 @ 10:15 am – 12:15 pm and 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm During this hands on demonstration and group painting salon, Bob Eggleton will walk participants through creating a seascape in acrylic paint with a nod to the ocean as 'character'. Incorporated into the illustration storytelling aspect of this demonstration will be construction of the ocean as narrative using elements, from the subtle to the extreme, like sea monsters, antique ships, rocks, waves, clouds, lighting, and odd bits of flotsam and jetsam debris. Bob will share his own experience as well as that of his heroes, classic 19th and 20th century illustrators and fine art Masters. Pre-registration required. Supplies: Attendees should bring preferred acrylic painting setup, including brushes, paints, and paper/panels/boards.
Drawing Workshop and Lecture with Donato Giancola: Compositional Drawing Sept 25 @ 10:15 am – 12:15 pm and 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm Donato will share his knowledge and approach to producing skillfully drafted drawings. From sketch to finish, the aesthetic and technical decisions the artist makes will be laid bare for observation and comments offering wonderful insight into the foundations of creativity of a modern artist. The four-hour workshop is for the artist who aspires to pursue further development and refinement of their skills in composition and as storytellers. Attendees of all skill levels are welcome as the focus of the workshop is upon creative problem solving, not technical execution. Pre-registration required. Supplies: Attendees should bring along their own preferred drawing utensils (pencils, paper,sketchbooks, etc) as well as a few favorite images/photos of themes they wish to create work upon. Alternative drawing supplies will also be available for use.
(8) WHAT'S A HUGO WIN WORTH? Kay Taylor Rea of Uncanny Magazine says Hugo wins are helping sales there. (Uncanny won the 2016 Best Semiprozine Hugo.)

(10) NO ONE BEHIND THE WHEEL. Matthew Johnson is the latest Filer to leave a poetic masterwork in comments:
Inspired by item 7:
My self-driving car must think it queer
To stop without a charger near.
I wonder, did I hurt its pride
When I pressed DRIVER OVERRIDE?
Whose woods these are I think I spy:
in June the Google Car went by
And so the trees, though deep in snow, are green
When viewed upon my tablet screen.
Most days I doze away the route
That my car drives on our commute
And trade the sight of forests dark and deep
For just another hour's sleep.
This night, the darkest of the year
Some demon woke me, passing here,
And so I stopped, though home is far
Got out and left my loyal car.
A single line of deer track goes
Into the forest, deep with snow
My road, I know, was once just such a trail
Blazed by cloven hooves and white-tipped tails
Crowdsourced by deer to find the gentlest route
Through tree and mountain, lake and chute
Then followed feet, at first in leather clad
To travel where the hooves of deer had.
My car's soft beep awakens me:
To stay longer would unreasonably
Expose the maker to liability
And besides, it voids the warranty.
Well, a contract is a contract, after all,
And speaks louder than the forest's call
So I return, my feet no longer free,
Because I clicked on I AGREE.
But I have Terms of Use to keep,
And miles to go while fast asleep,
And miles to go while fast asleep.
