How lucky am I? First I get to spend 20 years living my dream of being a sportswriter. I had the privilege of covering four World Series, 13 Masters golf tournaments (not to mention a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play Augusta National), three Super Bowls and countless college football games. All of it for my hometown newspaper. Now I get to help people buy and sell homes, which is more rewarding than I ever imagined was possible -- still living in my hometown. And now I enjoy the best of both worlds -- still helping people with their real estate needs and writing a weekly sports column. What does "Your Personal Realtor" mean to me? It means I want to be the first and only one you think of whenever you have any real estate need, even if it's just a question.

EDITORIAL: Nuke subsidy bill a scam
The ill-advised nuclear subsidy bill that died at the end of the last Legislature has quickly resurfaced in the new session, with a Senate committee vote expected Thursday.
The speed with which lawmakers are attempting to act only reinforces the fundamental dishonesty of the process.
The bill proposes up to $300 million in annual subsidies to be funneled into Public Service Enterprise Group (PSEG) nuclear facilities in South Jersey — Salem and Hope Creek — so it's no surprise Senate President Steve Sweeney, South Jersey's most powerful politician, continues to champion the bill so aggressively.
PSEG claims that within two years the plants may have to shut down because they'd no longer be profitable, eliminating a key power supply and driving up consumer costs.
The subsidies, which would be generated through rate hikes, come with a theoretical caveat; the Board of Public Utilities would first review PSEG books to determine if the company's claims are valid. But can we honestly expect BPU to meaningfully challenge PSEG, especially after the subsidies have already been approved? A rubber-stamp acceptance would be all but inevitable.
If this was a genuinely transparent process, the next step at this stage would be for PSEG to open up the books to the public for examination before any subsidy figure was established, much less approved.
It's also telling that the bill has been re-introduced without adding a clean-energy component. Former Gov. Chris Christie insisted the proposal not be tied in any way to the kinds of renewable energy incentives that have accompanied nuclear bailouts in other states. That explained supporters' desire to rush the plan through at the end of Christie's term.
But the bill hasn't changed under new Gov. Phil Murphy, who has already indicated his desire to add clean-energy elements to the plan. Also being ignored is the windfall from the Trump Administration tax reforms expected to bring a one-time score of $550-$650 million to plant operators. That all adds clarity to the bill's underlying and unspoken emphasis on boosting nuclear industry profits. This certainly isn't just about maintaining an optimal mix in the public energy supply.
We don't doubt nuclear plants are in some economic distress thanks largely to increasingly cheaper natural gas prices; plants in other states have encountered similar challenges, and have been assisted financially. We also accept the value of nuclear power as a continued part of our overall energy network; while environmental hazards are obvious, nuclear energy does not produce greenhouse gases that exacerbate climate change.
What lawmakers should be doing is seeking the cheapest, responsible way of keeping the plants operating to minimize the impact on consumers while not providing the nuclear industry with an unfair advantage over other energy sectors. PSEG's goal is very different, however, answering first to its own corporate interests.
Moving forward with a bailout bill based largely on PSEG's own claims while arguing that it's all designed for the greater public good is simply dishonest.

Bavandi, S., Nasseri, H. A Stochastic Model for Water Resources Management. Iranian Journal of Optimization, 2018; 10(1): 1-7.
Irrigation water management is crucial for agricultural production and livelihood security in many regions and countries throughout the world. Over the past decades, controversial and conflictladen water-allocation issues among competing municipal, industrial and agricultural interests have raised increasing concerns. Particularly, growing population, varying natural conditions and shrinking water availabilities have exacerbated such competitions. Shrinking water availabilities can result in reduced water supplies, while growing population can lead to increased water demands, these two facts can further intensify the water shortage. Stochastic programming methodology is applied in this paper to a capital investment problem in water resources. A framework is offered for the evaluation of electricity generation and water supply for agricultural irrigation. This essessment is conducted through the construction of an appropriate stochastic optimization model. A recursive least squares algorithm is incorp-orated in the model which enablee more accurate estimation of model parameters.

The Charles Lundberg House, also known as the Old Stone Mansion, the Byron C. Marlowe Center of Philanthropy, and The Community Foundation of Northern Illinois, is a historic building in Rockford, Illinois, United States.

History
Charles J. Lundberg was born in Kirkland, Illinois in 1871. He attended school at the Rockford Business College and decided to permanently settle in Rockford. He learned the furniture trade, working as a machine room operator, bookkeeper, and salesperson for various local furniture makers. Lundberg eventually amassed enough wealth to invest in a few companies. He founded and was the first president of the Co-operative Furniture Company; The Empire, Ltd.;, and the Rockford World Furniture Company.

Lundberg was vice president of the National Furniture Association of America for two terms. Outside of the industry, Lundberg was also the director of the Rockford Life Insurance Company and Commercial National Bank. He served as an alderman for nine years and briefly was the city's purchasing agent. He was named to the board of Rockford College and served for five years. Lundberg also served terms as president of the Rockford Board of Education and Rockford Symphony Orchestra. Lundberg lived in his 1915 house until the 1940s, when he moved to California.

Architecture
Frank A. Carpenter was named architect for the house. The house is generally Georgian in character with its two symmetrical wings, large front porch, dormers, and side-gabled roof. The building includes American Craftsman details, such as deep eaves, casement windows, and glazed brick.

Q: How to use oauth2 to access StackExchange API? I'm following the instructions mentioned here: https://api.stackexchange.com/docs/authentication
But since there is no code provided, I'm not able to understand the flow correctly.
I've been trying to get the authentication part done using two methods below but I have hit a deadend.
1)
import requests
from pprint import pprint

resp = requests.get('https://stackexchange.com/oauth/dialog?client_id=6667&scope=private_info&redirect_uri=https://stackexchange.com/oauth/login_success/')
pprint(vars(resp))

2)
import oauth2 as oauth
from pprint import pprint

url = 'https://www.stackexchange.com'
request_token_url = '%s/oauth/' % url
access_token_url = '%s/' % url

consumer = oauth.Consumer(key='mykey',
                          secret='mysecret')

client = oauth.Client(consumer)

response, content = client.request(request_token_url, 'GET')

print(response, content)

I'm not sure how to go forward from here? I need to use the access token that is returned and use it to query the API. A sample code would really really help! Thanks.
EDIT: This is the code I'm using currently:
from requests_oauthlib import OAuth2Session
from pprint import pprint

client_id = 'x'
client_secret = 'x'
redirect_uri = 'https://stackexchange.com/oauth/login_success'
scope = 'no_expiry'

oauth = OAuth2Session(client_id, redirect_uri=redirect_uri, scope=scope)

pprint(vars(oauth))

authorization_url, state = oauth.authorization_url('https://stackexchange.com/oauth/dialog')

print(authorization_url)

Instead of having to click on the authorization_url and get the token, is there a way I can directly fetch the token within the script itself?

A: Of the two methods you used, the first is the recommended method for desktop applications. It is probably correct.
OAuth is intended to force the user to go to a specific webpage and acknowledge that they are giving permission (usually through clicking a button) for an application to access their data. The HTTP responses you print are merely the webpage where a user needs to click accept.
To get a feeling for the flow, put the first address (https://stackexchange.com/oauth/dialog?client_id=6667&scope=&redirect_uri=https://stackexchange.com/oauth/login_success/) in the address bar and click accept on the loaded page. The access_token will be in the URL right after that.
If you are making the application only for yourself, the access_token can be copied into your Python script. The token expires in one day; if that is too short add no_expiry to scope to make it last forever. DO NOT share the token with anyone else, since it gives them access to details of your account! Each user of the script must generate their own token.
Test the access_token by inserting in your app's key and the access_token you just obtained into the url: https://api.stackexchange.com/2.2/me?key=key&site=stackoverflow&order=desc&sort=reputation&access_token=&filter=default
If you need a more automated, integrated, user-friendly solution, I would look at selenium webdriver to open a browser window and get the resulting credentials.

A: Just one minor correction on Marc's answer. If you want the access token to last forever, you should add no_expiry instead of no_expire.

Ben Jealous: Healing America's Divides
At a time of deep racial divisions in America, one of the country's most prominent civil rights leaders, Ben Jealous, has come up with a unique and inspiring way for each of us to reconcile, heal and work to unite the country, which he shares in a new book comprised of gripping and lively parables.
In his new book, Never Forget Our People Were Always Free, Jealous illuminates a new path to healing America's racial divisions. In offering new glimpses of political and faith leaders as different as Jack Kemp, Stacey Abrams, and the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu and heroes as unlikely as a retired constable, a female pirate from Madagascar, a long lost Irishman, a death row inmate, and a man with a confederate flag over his heart, Jealous takes on the country's racial divisions in a fascinating new way. He touches on a range of topics, including high suicide rates among white men, the importance of the civil rights movement keeping its doors open to all, and even KKK members grappling with the actual words of Jesus.
Please join us for a unique program with a well-known storyteller who calls on every American to look past deeply cut divisions and recognize we are all in the same boat now.

St.Marys Church, West Malling The Cowshed, The Farmhouse, 97-99 High Street, West Malling, ME19 6NA Malling Abbey Pilsdon Barn
138 High St, West Malling ME19 6NE
There is NO car parking at the church. There are a number of free parking spaces on St Leonard's Street and Water Lane. Parking in the High Street is limited to two hours during weekdays but there is a large public car park behind Tesco's in the High Street.
The Ryarsh Lane car park is available in the evening and at weekends.
A little further afield there is additional parking in Manor Park Country Park and at West Malling Railway Station.
St Mary's Church has been a place of worship for a thousand years. Probably there was a Saxon church, for in 945 AD King Edmund gave the parish to Buhric, Bishop of Rochester, which is why we have the ancient street called King Hill – the origin for the name of the new village Kings Hill.
After the conquest in the 11th Centruey William the Conqueror made his architect, Gundulf, the new Bishop. Gundulf built a new church, evidence of which can be seen today, as well as the Abbey and St Leonard's Tower.
In 1712, according to the vestry book, "there happened a terrible and great tempest of thunder and lightning and set afire the spire of the church, which broke down through the roof and ceiling of the body of the church and went through the head of the chancel." For decades, the church gradually decayed until in 1778 it had to be rebuilt after the roof of the nave collapsed leaving only the chancel and the tower standing at either end. This led to the old Kentish saying: "Proud Town Malling, poor people. Built a churchto their steeple."
The church's bells have been ringing for at least 350 years –- the five oldest date from the mid 1600s. The porch and pews were financed by selling 'the Malling Stoop' in 1903 –- an Elizabethan Fulham-Delft stoneware jug splashed with purple, orange and green and enclosed in silver gilt straps. Made in 1581, it fetched 1,450 guineas, a large sum 100 years ago. It is now in the British Museum. However, the church has managed to save another rare artefact: the royal coat-of-arms on the organ loft. Carved in wood, it depicts the armorial bearings of the House of Stuart with the cipher of James II. Beneath it is the motto: "Fear God, Honour the King".

The lighter side of politics
The 2005 general election will be remembered for, among other things (such as, of course, the Lib Dems forming their first ever government), being the first real internet election. Of course, people (or 'pipple' as Michael Howard would have us be) had access back in 2001. But not as many, and, besides, that election was just too unutterably tedious for words.
Here's a selection of my personal highlights ….
Undoubtedly the best satire on the web I've yet seen is the cartoon production at www.gbjab.com – from the people who brought us the sublime 'This Land is your Land' spoof on the 2004 US Presidential race. It's a non-profit election message for the people of the UK and deserves as wide an audience as can be gotten. There are also regularly updated spoof posters and pictures at www.spinon.co.uk. Slightly more serious – but only slightly – is Guido Fawkes' blog, http://order-order.com
The 'Basil Fawlty' election
Commentators tell us this is the "Don't mention the war" election. Not for much longer, I suspect. These two pictures illustrate how Mr Blair's 'For war' stance just won't go away.
What can happen when posters are pasted hastily…
Mr Blair's 'For war' manifesto. Does exactly what it says on the tin.
The Tories' campaign
The creepy "Are you thinking what we're thinking?" campaign has been a gift to humourists. But does that mean it's not working? I'm going to hedge my bets about the Tory campaign. I thought Karl Rove had called it wrong by focusing on George Bush's core vote in 2004 – he instead proved himself an election strategy genius (though utterly warped). Will the Tories' guru Lynton Crosby be similarly lauded come May 6th? I hope not, but don't bet against it.
The old ones are the best.
Harsh yet fair.
I was very pleased, and slightly surprised, to see my party achieving a high level of wit with this dodo e-card. If you want to rile any of your Tory friends by sending it to them, just visit www.libdems.org.uk/support/postcard.html
Meanwhile, Tory candidate Ed Matts' silly Photoshopping of a picture with Ann Widdecombe was a gift to Grauniad readers everywhere. This was my favourite emendation to the original.
So who should you vote for?
Any number of sites now offer you the chance to answer a few questions to help you determine which way you should vote. They are, of course, all complete rubbish – but fun nonetheless.
www.whoshouldyouvotefor.com tells me I should vote Lib Dem (bit of a relief that one), though, quite bizarrely, suggests I have UKIP sympathies. Even though I am pro-single currency and pro-EU constitution. Hmmm. Apparently I am least in sympathy with Labour.
That is, until I turn to the Financial Times' version, where I just sneak in as a Lib Dem voter, but am told explicitly I have Labour tendencies. Finally, www.publicwhip.org.uk/election.php identifies me as "fairly internationalist and rehabilitationist" – which is nice – but "very free market and pro-war" – which is not even half right.

I had high hopes for this photo. But I wasn't banking on so much fog.
This is my first time using my camera (and first time in years taking photos of any sort) and I thought what better location to put it to the test than the picturesque castle in the town where I live?
I had tried to include some foreground interest in the rocks and trees by the roadside but I think it's fair to say that absolutely nothing in this photo came out as planned.
I'm still trying to get to grips with aperture values and shutter speeds and would appreciate any pointers anyone could give me to achieve at least half decent photographs.
My first car was old. Very old. And cheap. And that was the deciding factor in my first motor purchase – cheap.
But in my young naivety I reasoned that the car had an engine, steering, brakes, seats, and even a radio. So what could a more expensive car offer when I already had it all?
For a few years I was content. Thinking that people who spent more on cars were clearly wasting their money. After all, what did they have that I didn't?
Time passed, I could afford more, and with my next (and more expensive car) it struck me. My next car had everything that my first car had, but was so, so much better. The difference? The way everything was put together.
And this leads me on to Jonathon's photo. All the elements are there, but they're just not put together too well.
Jonathon was looking for foreground interest, and found some. But unfortunately they cut right across the castle in the background.
The photo has lead in lines (the path). But they don't so much lead in as dominate the entire bottom half of the photo.
And finally, the weather. Not an awful lot that can be done with fog, but hats off for trying!
So how could this be improved? Moving in closer would help. Not far, just a few feet. Enough so that the overhanging branches are in the scene, but aren't cutting into the castle.
It would also be better to elevate the lens a little so that the path takes no more than the bottom third of the photo.
But I'm thinking there might have been a better shot higher up the hill. Walking up the path to the castle perhaps a shot of part of the castle with the fog in the background shrouding (but not completely masking) some trees.
I'm imagining a nice chunky section of castle wall on the left of the shot, perhaps some detail (carved stonework? Wooden door?), and the fog and partially shrouded trees on the right.


More than 90 organizations dedicated to promoting universal human rights and / or the fight against corruption, including the WatchdogMD NGO, have signed to express firm support for the Foreign Affairs Council to initiate a process to set up an EU-level program to impose sanctions against persons and entities considered to be responsible for serious human rights violations.
As we have seen in the countries that have adopted and have so far enforced laws on the Global Magnitsky Act, a comprehensive human rights and anti-corruption program can serve as a vital addition to the core set of diplomatic and legal tools for support for human rights and the rule of law.
We remind that WatchdogMD together with other organizations in Moldova have drafted the law on Global Magnitsky act for Moldova in July 2018.

Hello and welcome to another edition of the Duct Tape Marketing podcast. This is your host John Jantsch, and my guest today is Gwen Moran. She's a freelance writer whose columns often appear in Entrepreneur Magazine. And also the author of "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Business Plans." So welcome, Gwen.
Thank you John, I really appreciate you having me.
You know, I have a question that doesn't really have that much to do with the content of the book, but I've always been curious. These idiot guides, the whole series, how does someone come to write one of those, or is there an actual company that puts all those out? Tell me a little about that.
Yes, absolutely. The Complete Idiot's Guides are published by Alpha Books. And you know, the titles are sometimes misunderstood. The books obviously don't assume that any level of idiocy among the readers, but the premise is that they're written so simply and so easily and break subject matter down into such bite-sized pieces that anyone can understand them and master a topic.
It's like the, what's the other series, the something something for Dummies. It's sort of a competitive series. So you had a co-author on that book, is that right?
We probably should acknowledge her, shouldn't we?
Absolutely. Her name is Sue Johnson, and she is the director of the Robert M. Valley Small Business Development Center in New Jersey.
Oh great. So this is going to sound like a really dumb question, but a lot of time these concepts, these business concepts or terms like a business plan, have a whole bunch of different meanings depending upon where you've been exposed to them, where you come in to the process. So tell me, can you give me just kind of a quick definition so that we're all on the same page, you know, what the heck is a business plan?
Well, a business plan is basically a written document that can accomplish a few things for your business. It's basically your business on paper. And the form that your business plan takes really depends on what your goal is for the business plan. So you may be writing this business plan to start a business. You may be writing the business plan to grow your business, or you may be writing your business plan to get financing. And depending on what your ultimate goal is for the plan, that's going to determine what form your plan takes.
So, you kind of alluded to this, but I always like to get kind of leverage, you know. Give me some good reasons why a small, I mean you talked about getting financing. I think everybody is familiar with that reason necessarily. But can you talk a little more about why, I mean I'm assuming you're, one of your principles would be that most every small businesses should have one.
Thanks for giving useful information for every one.
I think this blog is specially for businessmen because here everything is described about marketing. So if anyone is interested in this field then he must read this content because it is really informative in its own sense.
In a business marketing plays a great role. If you are not good enough to market your products, it is not easy for you to achieve profit in your business. Your thoughts and ideas about marketing strategies were really helpful.

Disclosure: I received product in exchange for this post. All opinions shared are 100% my own.
When I find a new craft tool that I absolutely love, I can't wait to share it with all of you. Foiling was always something I wanted to learn to do, but was timid to try because of the large margin of error. I really hate when I have to waste materials because of personal error, and if something has too many warnings, let's be honest...it's just not going to happen.
The new Minc Machine from Heidi Swapp is seriously amazing, and extremely user friendly. The Minc is a fairly light weight and compact and measures about 19.5" x 5" so it doesn't take a ton of storage space! The design itself convinced me I needed to have it, but when I also saw that the instruction booklet was only a few pages, I was all in. I'm really excited to foil ALL the things now and am even more excited to show you everything the machine can do!
Now, let's talk about the foils. From what I've seen before, the color range for foiling projects was pretty minimal. For the Minc machine, there are at least 10 brilliant colors including silver and gold!! Seeing all these gorgeous colors lined up makes me so happy and inspired to foil a project for every occasion!!
Before showing the process of how I foiled this card and envelope set, it helps to know how the Minc machine works. The machine heats up similar to a laminator. However, what makes this machine different is that it can fit projects up to 12 inches wide, and it uses four rollers (instead of two on most laminators) to evenly distribute pressure across a 12x12 surface. The machine also contains a heating element that covers the entire 12 inches, as opposed heat focused at the outer edges (also common in every day laminators). The heat activates a reaction in the toner printed on the project that bonds the foil to the surface. To bond the foil to a surface, you must use a pre-printed accessory or a laser printer (you can also visit your local copy shop).
**An inkjet printer does not lay down toner, so unfortunately it will not work with the Minc.
To get started, turn on the Minc machine and set the heat setting to 3. The adjustable heat settings allow you to foil transfer on materials from vellum all the way to chipboard and even thin wood veneer, but I found that the 3 setting has been perfect for most of my projects so far.
Using sharp scissors, cut a piece of foil to fit your project. Dull scissors do not cut the foil well.
Open the protector sleeve and place the project face up. Carefully lay the foil on top of your project (color side up) and lightly press down and make sure none of the black parts of the project are uncovered. Carefully lay the top of the carrier sheet down over your project and smooth it out with your hand.
Carefully push the carrier sheet into the Minc machine until you feel the rollers grab it. Then just sit back and watch the magic happen! Once the project has completely run through the machine, carefully lift the top of the carrier sheet and you can pull out your project.
Start at one corner and slowly pull up the foil. Your project is now shiny and gorgeous!!
Repeat the same on both the envelope and card, and now your newly foiled project is ready for you to share with everyone you know!! After you get started and see how easy the machine is to use, you will be foiling everything you can!!
Once you've run a project with toner through the machine, the toner has been heat activated and will not bond with foil on a second pass. So, make sure you foil your whole project at the same time. However, keep your foil scraps! You can re-use those smaller pieces of foil on smaller accessories and tags!
I laid all the smaller projects inside the carrier sheet and ran them through all at once. They turned out great and will look SO amazing on cards, used as scrapbook embellishments, and more!!
As I mentioned before, if you have a laser printer, you can create your very own custom foil projects! Heidi Swapp and her team generously provided every SNAP! Conference attendee with their very own customized print with their name. The candy pouch was a make and take at the Minc booth, and was so easy to make. I just had to show these so you can see for yourself that the possibilities with this machine are endless!! You can create all kinds of amazing projects from metallic scrapbook pages to party favors and home decor.
Now that you've seen what this machine can do, here are the details so you can get your hands on one and get creating! The Minc Foil Applicator and Starter Kit MSRP is $149.00, and the Minc Foil MSRP is $9.99 (foil is 12"x10'). Minc accessories MSRP from $2.99 to $12.99. You can purchase the Minc Foil Applicator and accessories at Hobby Lobby, Jo-Ann, as well as locally owned craft stores and online shops.
I'm so excited to show you through the next few months some more crafts I'll be making using my Heidi Swapp Minc foil applicator. What would you create?
Pretty! I really dig how that turns out each time!
I am so NOT crafty like this, but the looks you are getting from it are beautiful. Love the envelopes especially!
Oh my, I am so in love with this! I am loving everything about it! So cool!
Such a neat crafting tool! Thanks for the great tutorial!

Mitogenic effects of pertussis toxin-sensitive G-protein α subunits: The mitogenic action of αi2 in NIH 3T3 cells is mimicked by αi1, but not αi3
Sylvie Hermouet, Philippe de Mazancourt, Allen M. Spiegel
In fibroblasts and other cell types, pertussis toxin (PTX) inhibits DNA synthesis in response to serum and certain growth factors. GTPase deficient forms of the PTX-sensitive G-protein αi2 subunit have been shown to induce partial transformation in fibroblasts. In order to determine whether other PTX-sensitive G-protein scan stimulate mitogenic pathways, we stably expressed constitutively activated G-protein αi1 and αi3 subunits in NIH 3T3 cells. Expression of activated αi1, αi2 or αi3 results in inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation in intact cells. Constitutively activated αi1, but not αi3, induces a loss of contact inhibition, a loss of anchorage-dependence, a reduced serum requirement and a decreased doubling time in NIH 3T3 cells. We conclude that αi1 and αi2 are both capable of transducing mitogenic signals, but that αi3 is not involved in the regulation of fibroblast growth. Furthermore, adenylyl cyclase inhibition is clearly not sufficient to explain the effect of αi2 on fibroblast growth.

Tonight's Designated Survivor recap begins now – Refresh Page often to get the most current updates!
Tonight's episode of Designated Survivor kicks off with Hannah driving a van like a mad woman. She spots a lake near the Capitol building and drives off the road, she hops out of the van at the last minute – the van careens in to the water as the bomb is going off, luckily no one was hurt.
The FBI arrives seconds later and arrests Hannah Wells, she insists that she's being framed. While she is sitting in cuffs Forstell arrives, he orders the FBI agents to release her immediately on behalf of the President.
Forstell and Hannah head to the White House and meet with President Tom Kirkman. Hannah explains that someone planted evidence in her apartment and made it seem like she was the bomber. They're certain that Patrick Lloyd is responsible, they agree to bring him in. Forstell warns them that they don't have enough evidence yet, and will probably have to release him tomorrow.
While the FBI is coordinating the raids, Tom sits down in his office to watch TV. Aaron and senator Bowman are in a heated debate on live television over whether or not there's an FBI cover-up at the White House and if Tom is hiding it from the people. Aaron defends Tom, and insists that he's the most honest President they have ever had.
Lloyd is at his house. He receives a cryptic message from his White House snitch stating that "Lozano has the package." Whatever they are planning, Lloyd tells them to execute. The FBI arrives with Hannah a few minutes later, but Lloyd is gone. The FBI is shocked to discover a sophisticated underground tunnel leading out of his house. Lloyd makes it impossible to track him, suddenly Hannah begins receiving notifications from all over the country of his credit cards being used and sightings of his cars.
Back at the White House, Seth has more bad news for Tom Kirkman. He tells Tom that Abe Leonard is running another story, he has sources indicating that Jason Atwood was arrested for killing Nassar and it was covered up. Tom shocks Seth and tells him to set up a meeting with Abe, he wants to speak to him face to face.
Meanwhile, the snitch, Jay Whitaker, is executing whatever plan that Lloyd ordered. He slips in to a room and plugs his laptop in to the mainframe. Mike gets word that the hacker just created an ID in the Pentagon for someone, but they have no idea who. It looks like Whitaker just got Lazano access to the Pentagon building.
Tom Kirkman sits down with Aaron in his office. Tom reveals to him that there's a traitor in the White House, and he was responsible for the Capitol bombing, and it wasn't Langdon. Tom wants Aaron to go back over his records and see if he can figure out who the traitor is.
Lozano slips in to the Pentagon building with a briefcase, thanks to his new ID. He sits down at a computer and begins pounding away on the keyboard. Abe Leonard arrives for his meeting with the President. Abe scoffs that Tom is wasting his time and he's not "staying silent." Tom tries to reason with Abe and asks him to hold his story, it's incomplete. He shares a photo with him of FDR, it was taken right before he passed away. But, the press never printed it because they wanted America to stay strong and not panic over the state of the Presidency.

Aaron pays Cochran a visit, he's sporting a fancy new ankle monitor and can't leave the house. Aaron explains that there's a traitor in the White House, and he needs his help.
Hannah gets a member of Pentagon security on the phone, they can't find Lozano in the building because their security cameras are down. Hannah warns them that this is a matter of life and death – they need to find Lozano now!
Hannah spots Lozano in his car leaving the Pentagon and she turns around and chases after him. After a high speed pursuit, Lozano crashes his car in to some dumpsters and makes a run for it. Hannah chases him in to an abandoned building and they fight tooth and nail. Hannah punches Lozano and he falls a floor down and spears himself on something metal. She climbs down and leans over Lozano, as he takes his last breath he whispers to Hannah that "it's not over, there's no victor without sacrifice."
Abe shows up at Seth's office. Seth is shocked when Abe reveals that he's going to honor the President's request and hold he story for a little while, but not indefinitely. It looks like Tom's speech moved him.
Hannah returns to headquarters, badly bruised, and deflated because there's still no news yet on what Lozano was doing at the Pentagon. She sits down at her computer and is shocked to see an email from Jason, he sent it before he was killed. She opens the email, and its full of photos of Whitaker and a recording proving that he was the snitch working with Lloyd.
Tonight's episode of Designated Survivor kicks off with Tom briefing Seth and Emily on Whitaker – they raided all of Lloyd's cells, and Tom seems to think that this mess is behind them. Although they still haven't found Lloyd himself. He tells Seth to set up a meeting with Congress, he's ready to tell the people what is going on. After the meeting, Tom corners Aaron and basically orders him to come back to the White House.
Before he meets with Congress, Tom has to choose a designated survivor, naturally he chooses Cornelius Moss. Tom takes the podium and delivers his speech, which he wrote himself, explaining the bombing and Lloyd's group of followers, and their mission to make America great again. When he's finished, he receives a standing ovation and is greeted by his kids.

Mike interrupts the celebration and tells Tom he needs to speak to him ASAP. Hannah briefs him with her team and explains that they figured out what Lozano was doing – he sent all of the country's most classified information to Lloyd.

Review: Rumbullion and Other Liminal Libations by Molly Tanzer
Molly Tanzer's debut collection, A Pretty Mouth, is easily one of my favorite reads of the past year. The connected Lovecraftian short stories detailing the legacy of the Calipash family became an instant weird classic. That being said, I had high expectations for her second collection, Rumbullion and Other Liminal Libations, recently published by Egaeus Press.
This hardcover is limited to a 250 copy print-run, and contains the title novella as well as six short stories. While the Calipash family fails to make an appearance, a few of the stories are still Lovecraftian flavored, but before digging into the fiction, it's worth taking a moment to talk about the book's aesthetics. Egaeus Press is fast becoming not only a quality outlet for weird fiction, but a publisher that makes beautiful books (here's a look at a previous collection: The Transfiguration of Mr. Punch). Rumbullion is a solid hardcover, with some gorgeous middle-ages woodcut style artwork throughout. Tanzer's love of mixology is present as well, each story being followed by a drink recipe in order to quench the thirst of imbibing readers. Very cool!
The fiction within is further proof that Molly Tanzer is a unique voice in the weird fiction community. The title story, Rumbullion, is the highlight. A nobleman struggles to reconcile the bizarre events of an evening party at his house by obtaining accounts from various men and women who were in attendance. Of course, everyone is unreliable, and in the end the reader is left just as confused as the narrator. Tanzer herself described the novella as "Rashomon with fops" and I struggle to find a better description. Rumbullion has moments of hilarity, ridiculousness, and mystery aplenty.
Some of the short stories are better than others, but they all see a recurrence of themes. How John Wilmot Contracted Syphilis continues the theme of noble dandies, and follows lecherous nobleman John Wilmot pretending to be a foreign doctor while struggling with a bizarre supernatural force. Herbert West In Love, a take on the infamous Lovecraft character, is a darkly humorous story in which the protagonist is struggling with his sexuality, akin to the narrator of Rumbullion.
Oddly enough, while A Pretty Mouth and a few stories present in Rumbullion seem centered on fops and dandy noblemen and noblewomen, a prominent theme in the second collection alone is anthropomorphism. My least favorite story in the collection, In Sheep's Clothing, is one of the more bizarre post-apocalyptic stories I've come across, and seems very much a "go green and don't eat meat" propaganda piece, although the end of the story is pretty cool, and is when anthropomorphism first comes into play in the collection. The Poison-Well goes all out, with a small community of animals in which a shrewmouse starts a feud with a mole, making for a hilariously tragic tale. The full-out anthropomorphism continues with Tubby McMungus, Fat From Fungus, a story co-authored with Jesse Bullington and first appearing in Fungi. Tanzer and Bullington pen this funny tale of feuding, merkin-making noble cats, a tale that will not soon be forgotten. The collection closes with Go, Go, Go Said the Byakhee. This Lovecraftian tale is a beautifully twisted take on a far future earth in which at least one Ancient One has risen and works to remake the world in it's image. The people left go on pilgrimages in which they are changed into strange human/animal hybrids, making for one of the best "post-Cthulhu rising" themed stories I've read.
With Rumbullion and Other Liminal Libations, Molly Tanzer's humorous wit and wickedly bizarre imagination are on full display, providing discerning readers with a one of a kind weird fiction treat. With a fast-selling print-run of only 250 copies, this is a book that is grabbed sooner rather than later. It can be ordered directly from the publisher.
Also of note: an interview I conducted with Molly Tanzer in February, after reading A Pretty Mouth.

PS4's Spider-Man's Mid- And Post-Credits Scenes Connect To Silver Sable; Here's How
PS4's Spider-Man makes dozens of references to the stories, allies, and enemies from the wall crawlers' comics. There are quite a few littered throughout the game's final moments, which all seem to be pointing towards a specific comic series.
Although Insomniac has not confirmed a connection, most of the characters in Spider-Man are similar to their counterparts from the Ultimate Spider-Man comics. As opposed to earlier stories that used radiation and pseudoscience as the basis for how Spider-Man and his rogue's gallery of super-villains came to be, Ultimate Spider-Man takes a more modern approach and uses genetic splicing, tinkering, and degradation as the origin story for its heroes and villains. The comic debuted in October 2000 and ran for nearly 11 years, making it the second longest continuous Marvel series that's created by only two people.
Like Ultimate Spider-Man, PS4's Spider-Man gives Peter Parker a larger background in science and mathematics, making him an engineering prodigy. Mary Jane is also the first to find out that Peter and Spider-Man are the same person. Plenty of other characters have similar personalities and appearances to their Ultimate counterparts too, including Aunt May, Rhino, Kingpin, and more.
Admittedly, some of the game's characters do not match up with their Ultimate Spider-Man counterparts. Spider-Man's Vulture is Amazing Spider-Man's Adrian Toomes, and not Ultimate's Blackie Drago. The Vulture costume is similar in both the game and comics though, as is Toomes' poor health (he's initially not in Ultimate because he dies from an illness). There are enough similarities, though, to use Ultimate Spider-Man to help dissect the final scenes of the game.
Spoiler Alert: The rest of this article delves into the ending, mid-credits, and post-credits scenes of Spider-Man, as well as major plot points from the Ultimate Spider-Man comics.
The Ending: A New Ally
A lot happens in the final moments of Spider-Man, but one of the more puzzling developments is the departure of Silver Sable. After being prominently featured in promotional material for the game, Silver Sable has a pretty minor role in the overall story. She leads the private military force hired by Norman Osborn to keep order in the city, but after warming up to Spider-Man she just leaves. Moments before the final battle, she calls Peter to say she's gone home and we never see her again. It's odd she was included in the game at all with how minor a role she plays.
That changes if this Silver Sable is inspired from her Ultimate counterpart. In Ultimate, Silver Sable is initially one of Spider-Man's villains, but only because she was hired to hunt him down. She has a begrudging respect for the wall-crawler and tolerates him when a job needs to get done. More importantly, Silver Sable and Spider-Man eventually team up in Ultimate, and it's to take down Venom in the "War of the Symbiotes" arc.
Spider-Man's post-credits scene reveals that Venom's origin might be on the horizon, and that lends more credence to the prediction that Silver Sable will return to New York. Silver Sable might have been introduced in this game so that she and Spidey can work together to hunt down Venom in a future expansion or sequel.
The Mid-Credits Scene: Peter's Successor
In Spider-Man's mid-credits scene, Miles reveals to Peter that his body is undergoing some changes, before showcasing that he can stick to the ceiling. Peter immediately jumps up to join him to reveal that he's Spider-Man. It's a touching, almost brotherly moment.
Miles Morales was first introduced in 2011's Ultimate Fallout, which ties into Ultimate Spider-Man's final arc. Like Peter, he's bitten by a genetically enhanced spider from Oscorp's lab. This gives Miles similar powers to Peter, including the ability to stick to walls, super strength and reflexes, and an enhanced sixth sense. However, Miles is bitten by a different species of spider, so he ends up with a few more powers. Miles isn't as strong as Peter, but he can emit a paralyzing venom from his fingertips and camouflage himself against nearly any surface, rendering him invisible.
We'll have to wait and see whether or not Miles has inherited all of the powers he has in Ultimate, but the fact that he has powers at all might foreshadow a dark future. In Ultimate, Miles becomes a superhero to honor Spider-Man after New York watches Peter Parker give up his life to stop the Green Goblin in the "Death of Spider-Man" arc. There's no guarantee that Insomniac is moving towards that storyline, but the post-credits scene does hint at the rise of Green Goblin. In the game's final battle, Peter also lets himself get stabbed so he can stop Doctor Octopus and save the ones he loves, so it's not that big of a stretch to imagine him sacrificing himself in a future game.
The Post-Credits Scene: Two New Foes
As stated before, Spider-Man's post-credits scene hints at two possible supervillains appearing in Peter's future: Venom and Green Goblin. There's a lot to unpack in that final scene, including the fate of Harry Osborn. Earlier in the game, Peter and Mary Jane learn that Harry didn't go abroad for vacation but instead left the country to receive intensive treatment for a genetic disorder. In the post-credits scene, we find out that Harry didn't even leave. His father is keeping him in a tank that's filled with green liquid.
This green liquid is most likely OZ. In Ultimate Spider-Man, Norman Osborn develops the green goo as an experimental drug that boosts strength, reflexes, and intelligence. He's not completely successful in keeping the substance stable, and so he tests the drug on other animals, one being spiders. When the spiders bite Peter and Miles, they transfer the drug in a less volatile state into their systems, which is why Peter and Miles are enhanced without becoming deformed in the process. Perhaps in the game's continuity, Norman developed OZ as a way to strengthen his son and stabilize his genetic condition. However, it's clearly not enough as Norman also has a black substance webbed around Harry that's seemingly keeping him alive in suspended animation. The black web reacts to Norman when it senses the man's presence. It might be what's keeping the OZ from mutating Harry.
In Ultimate Spider-Man, the symbiote isn't an alien, but a man-made suit that's seemingly alive. Its primary purpose is to cure cancer by strengthening the host body's immune system and giving them superhuman levels of strength and endurance. Perhaps–much like the OZ–Norman builds the suit for his son, and the suit–much like its Ultimate counterpart–desires more humans to feed on in order to strengthen its host. If the suit's hunger for more humans is strong enough, or if it feeds on the OZ, it could break Harry out of his tank and transform him into the toothy black monster that pushes Silver Sable and Spidey to work together.
If that's the case, stopping the suit would kill Harry, as it looks like it might be the only thing keeping him alive. The loss of his wife and son would probably drive Norman to madness and cause him to try and take revenge on Spider-Man and Silver Sable, who he'd see as murderers. If Norman ingested unfiltered OZ, then like his Ultimate counterpart, he'd transform into the monstrous-looking Green Goblin. His war against Spider-Man might lead to Peter giving up his life to save the city, and pave the way for Miles to become New York's next friendly neighborhood wall crawler. Insomniac has already proven they're willing to kill off major characters–like Aunt May–in order to tell an emotional story, so killing off Peter at the end of Spider-Man 2 so that Miles can be the protagonist of Spider-Man 3 is not so far-fetched.
But of course, that's all just speculation based on the information we can glean from Spider-Man's final scenes. We'd love to hear what you all think. Again, not all characters in Spider-Man follow the same beats as Ultimate Spider-Man so Insomniac could draw inspiration from a different comic–like Amazing, Spectacular, or All-New, All-Different–or create a completely unique storyline. What type of future do you think the final scenes of Spider-Man are hinting towards? Leave your responses in the comments below.
Spider-Man is currently only available for the PS4. We loved it, and gave the game a 9/10 in our review. Insomniac has revealed that the game is getting a New Game Plus mode in the future, as well as a three-part DLC expansion called The City That Never Sleeps.

A Moita é uma vila portuguesa pertencente ao distrito de Setúbal e à Área Metropolitana de Lisboa, com 19 998 habitantes (2021).

É sede do município da Moita com  de área e 66262 habitantes (2021), subdividido em 4 freguesias. O município é limitado a norte, através de baixios do estuário do Tejo, pela área principal do município do Montijo, a nordeste também pelo Montijo, a sudeste e sul por Palmela e a oeste pelo Barreiro.

História
As origens da ocupação humana no concelho da Moita remontam aos inícios do Neolítico e correspondem a uma ocupação de carácter habitacional com cerca de 6 mil anos, comprovada pelos achados arqueológicos da jazida do Gaio.

Contudo, não se conhece uma continuidade da ocupação do espaço, na medida em que só a partir de meados do século XIII podemos apontar a existência de um núcleo humano em Alhos Vedros, como certifica o mais antigo documento que se conhece referente a esta localidade, que confirma a existência desse lugar com um capelão chamado Fernão Rodrigues, datado de 30 de janeiro de 1298.O povoamento da faixa ribeirinha, na qual se integra o território do atual concelho da Moita, só terá ocorrido de forma mais ou menos contínua com a pacificação de toda esta zona, daí se supõe que apenas terá sucedido após a reconquista definitiva de Alcácer do Sal no ano de 1217.

Toda esta extensa região (doada por D. Sancho I em 1186) que se estendia desde a margem sul do rio Tejo até à margem extrema do Alentejo estava na dependência direta da Ordem Militar de Santiago. É neste contexto que surge a designação de Riba Tejo, termo utilizado pelos freires de Santiago para denominarem o vasto território compreendido entre o rio de Coina e a ribeira das Enguias e no qual nasceram e se foram desenvolvendo vários núcleos populacionais, atraídos pela força do estuário.

É no âmbito desta estrutura organizacional que surge a freguesia de São Lourenço de Alhos Vedros, confirmada documentalmente por uma sentença, datada de 5 de outubro de 1319. O período que medeia os séculos XIV e XVI é propício ao desenvolvimento económico e populacional de Alhos Vedros, de tal forma que vê crescer a sua importância no contexto regional, ao receber o estatuto de vila (1477), o poder municipal (1479) e a carta de foral (1514).

Contudo, no final do século XIV e início do século XV, é que terá assumido o seu período áureo, abrangendo o seu termo um extenso território que compreendia os atuais concelhos do Barreiro e da Moita, estendendo-se desde a Ribeira de Coina até Sarilhos Pequenos. Embora detivesse uma área de jurisdição, o antigo concelho de Alhos Vedros estava na dependência direta da Ordem Militar de Santiago, a sua donatária, pelo que constituía uma comenda da Mesa Mestral da Ordem.

É neste contexto espaciotemporal que vão surgindo pequenos aglomerados, constituídos por pouco mais do que uma dezena de habitantes, demonstrando que a humanização no território do atual concelho da Moita se fez muito lentamente, o que se deveu, em grande parte, à estrutura do solo, coberto exclusivamente por matas e extensos pinhais.Dados os imperativos geográficos, os aglomerados que nasceram no termo de Alhos Vedros cresceram em estreita articulação com o trabalho no rio, através de uma rede efetiva de ligações fluviais com a outra margem, o que permitia uma rápida circulação de pessoas e de bens. Aliás, o desenvolvimento da Moita está indissociavelmente ligado ao transporte de cabotagem, atividade que a converteu numa terra de passagem e num importante nó de ligação entre o sul do país e a cidade de Lisboa.
Assim, à medida que se assiste ao crescimento da Moita, que culmina com a sua elevação a vila em 1691, Alhos Vedros vai lentamente declinando, situação que se reflete na desintegração do seu território e no consequente decréscimo da população, de modo que, no século XVIII, Alhos Vedros tinha apenas 124 moradores, enquanto a Moita já registava 225 "vizinhos" e o lugar de Sarilhos Pequenos 55 "vizinhos".

Nos finais do século XVII, passaram-se a ter duas vilas e dois concelhos com as respetivas áreas jurisdicionais, administradas individualmente por dois juízes ordinários, vereadores, um procurador do concelho, um escrivão da Câmara, um juiz dos órfãos com o seu escrivão, dois tabeliões, um alcaide e uma companhia de ordenança.

No século XIX, no decorrer das reformas administrativas empreendidas pelo governo liberal, Alhos Vedros perdeu definitivamente a sua autonomia municipal e foi integrado como freguesia, num primeiro momento, no Barreiro (1855) e, num segundo momento, na Moita (1861). Na última década deste século, com a segunda extinção do concelho da Moita (1895), a freguesia de Alhos Vedros voltou a ser anexada, por mais três anos, ao Barreiro, para ser de novo reintegrada, em definitivo, no concelho da Moita (1898).

De entre um vasto conjunto de atividades desenvolvidas por artesãos do concelho, muitas das quais trazidas de outras regiões do país pelas vagas de migrantes que aqui se instalaram, tais como a latoaria, a cestaria, a olaria, entre outras, a mais emblemática do concelho da Moita é a construção de miniaturas de barcos típicos do Tejo nas freguesias do Gaio-Rosário e de Sarilhos Pequenos.

Peças como varinos, faluas e fragatas são habilmente reproduzidas à escala por antigos marítimos, cuja vida cedo os empurrou para a labuta nestas embarcações. Começaram por ser "moços", aos nove ou dez anos, depois passaram a "camaradas" e mais tarde a "arrais", as três etapas possíveis desta ancestral atividade que consistia em fazer o transporte de produtos e pessoas entre as margens sul e norte do rio Tejo. As decorações típicas não podiam deixar de embelezar estes barcos, onde as cores garridas das tintas ilustram paisagens, cenas religiosas, números, letras e flores.

Caracterização
O concelho da Moita, território integrante da Área Metropolitana de Lisboa, situa-se na margem esquerda do Estuário do Tejo, com uma frente ribeirinha superior a 20 km. Com exceção do Vale da Amoreira, todas as outras freguesias (Alhos Vedros, Baixa da Banheira, Gaio-Rosário, Moita e Sarilhos Pequenos) estão em contacto com o rio.

A nova centralidade e a acessibilidade trazidas pela construção da Ponte Vasco da Gama constituem um trunfo no posicionamento deste concelho na região de Setúbal, nomeadamente para a valorização dos seus recursos naturais e zona ribeirinha, constituindo um atrativo para a instalação de novos equipamentos, empresas e residentes. Estão, assim, a surgir novas oportunidades para o desenvolvimento local e regional, resultantes do esforço da Câmara Municipal na requalificação urbanística e ambiental.

Evolução da População do Município

★ Os Recenseamentos Gerais da população portuguesa, regendo-se pelas orientações do Congresso Internacional de Estatística de Bruxelas de 1853, tiveram lugar a partir de 1864, encontrando-se disponíveis para consulta no site do Instituto Nacional de Estatística (INE).

 Número de habitantes "residentes", ou seja, que tinham a residência oficial neste município à data em que os censos se realizaram.

 De 1900 a 1950 os dados referem-se à população "de facto", ou seja, que estava presente no município à data em que os censos se realizaram. Daí que se registem algumas diferenças relativamente à designada população residente.

Freguesias

Gastronomia

Adam Scott ends 4-year winless streak on PGA Tour
Australian finishes at 11-under 273 to win the Genesis Invitational at Riviera, 15 years after he posted a rain-shortened, unofficial 36-hole victory at the suburban Los Angeles club
4: Number of years since Adam Scott had won on the PGA Tour as the Australian finished two strokes clear of the field at the Genesis Invitational in Pacific Palisades, Calif. Scott, 39, shook off two bogeys and a double bogey to shoot 1-under 70 for an 11-under 273 total at Riviera Country Club in suburban Los Angeles. "I've loved this place from Day One," said Scott, who won in 2005 at Riviera in a rain-shortened, unofficial 36-hole event. It was his 14th career victory and his first since March 6, 2016, in the WGC-Cadillac Championship at Doral. American Matt Kuchar, who started the day tied with Scott and Rory McIlroy at 10 under and paired together in the final threesome, shot 72 for a 9-under 275 total and a share of second place with American Scott Brown (68) and South Korean Sung Kang (69). McIlroy, in his first start since reclaiming No. 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking, faded to a tie for fifth with a final-round 73. The tournament, which benefits Tiger Woods' TGR Foundation, featured nine of the top-10-ranked players in the world. Woods finished 68th – last among the players who made the 36-hole cut – after a 76-77 weekend.

A comparison of the economic impact of the 2013 IPW event in Las Vegas with a similar study of the 2012 Super Bowl in Indianapolis shows that, while the Super Bowl attracted more attendees, the measurable total impact of IPW is longer—three years as opposed to four days—and significantly larger across key economic categories. For the host city, IPW produced more than four times as many direct expenditures; delivered more than five times the amount of GDP value-added direct impact; and generated greater tax revenues across the local, state and federal levels.


CHICAGO (CBS) — The Chicago Catholic archdiocese is throwing a little cold water on the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, the viral phenomenon that is dominating social media lately.
WBBM Newsradio's Steve Miller reports the ice bucket challenge has so far brought in more than $40 million dollars for the ALS Association, which helps fund research into Lou Gehrig's Disease.
Chicago Archdiocese Schools Superintendent Sister Mary Paul McCaughey has told the principals of the 248 Catholic schools in the Chicago area that the ALS Association is "not a good match" for Catholic schools.
"It uses embryonic stem cells for its research," she said.
McCaughey told principals if their schools do take the ice bucket challenge, they should donate to the John Paul II Medical Research Center, which only uses adult stem cells.
Mary Ilene Blondell, development director for Chicago's ALS Association, said that's a disappointment.
"I think it is – just because of the misinformation and how perhaps it's skewed within the public that we're actively pursuing this as a form of research inquiry," she said.
Blondell said only a very small part of ALS Association funding goes to embryonic stem cell research. In addition, anyone may restrict a donation and earmark it only for research that does not use embryonic stem cells.


Although it is slim in terms of evidence, I believe the James Davidson (above) had an ancestor called Alexander Davidson. The indication for this is in the naming pattern used by the family in Australia, where 'Alexander' was used several times in a sequence of ancestral names (e.g. 'John James Alexander Davidson', where there seemed to be no other reason to use three forenames.

Mario Movie Producer Says Film Is 75 Percent Complete
Odds are unless something huge is announced, most of you don't remember specific Sony State of Plays or Nintendo Directs. However, the Direct in which Nintendo announced the cast of its upccoming Mario movie is one that will live long in the memory. Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach, Jack Black as Bowser, and of course, Chris Pratt as Mario. The Mario movie is now expected to his theaters in 2023, and its co-producer recently revealed the movie is about 75 percent complete.
Chris Meledandri revealed as much to Variety when he once again came to the defense of Pratt's casting. The producer also felt the need to do so shortly after Pratt was announced as the movie's Mario voice back in November of last year. This time, Meledandri has cited his own Italian American heritage as reason for fans not to be skeptical, while also reassuring those who still aren't all that keen on Pratt voicing Mario that his work so far has been great.
"Now that we've done about 15 recording sessions, and the movie is three-quarters done, I sit here and say that I love his performance as Mario," Meledandri said. "He said that considering he had 'Italian American heritage, he could make that decision without worrying about offending Italians or Italian Americans'," Variety writes (via Nintendo Life).
Pratt has proved to be an unpopular choice to voice the most famous video game character of all time for a number of reasons. Top of the list are his controversial, outspoken views. However, the fact Mario already has a voice actor certainly hasn't helped. The iconic Charles Martinet will apparently have a role in the Mario movie, but with the flick three-quarters done, it remains unclear what exactly that role is going to be.
It also doesn't help that Pratt is in pretty much everything right now. Jurassic World Dominion, Thor 4, Guardians of the Galaxy 3. Pratt has even been cast as the voice of Garfield in a project similar to the Mario movie. Perhaps voicing classic animated characters is a corner of the market Pratt would like to make his own. Speaking of the Garfield movie, Samuel L. Jackson was also cast alongside Pratt recently to play an all-new character in the series, Garfield's dad.

About the Yaak Valley Forest Council
Our Mission Working for a wild Yaak through science, education, and bold action.
We envision a wild Yaak where grizzly bears and salamanders thrive. A valley of superlatives—the lowest in Montana—the Yaak is veined with creeks and rivers, possessed of marshes, fens, swamps, cold spring seeps, and yet also alpine lakes. It's a land of paradoxes—that which does not burn will rot. Our vision is to recover the ancient forests that have been lost. We will protect those that remain. Core of wildness, Yaak is refuge.
The Yaak Valley Forest Council, created in 1997, implements conservation and restoration programs focused on protecting and preserving critical wildlife habitat for the sensitive, threatened, and endangered species inhabiting the wild Yaak.
With a dedicated Staff and active Board of Directors, the Yaak Valley Forest Council has established a strong and growing conservation presence within the valley, as well as the region. The Forest Council is led by Yaak Valley residents who know the landscape intimately, have a high level of field experience, and have developed strong partnerships with other grassroots groups. The Forest Council partners with these groups, county, state, and federal officials toward habitat conservation, restoration, connectivity, and scientific research.
The Board of Directors, staff, and supporters share a commitment to the Yaak that requires sacrifice and perseverance. The Forest Council works to ensure that resource management plans for the Yaak Valley move away from the extraction industry and toward an adaptive whole ecosystem strategy that accounts for the effects of climate change through the application of sound science, habitat conservation, and preservation of the Yaak's roadless areas.

Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust raises awarenes of Dementia.
Dementia is set to be the 21st century's biggest killer, but together, we can raise awareness, offer help and understanding, and urgently find a cure.
At WISHH, supporting those with dementia is a real focus of our efforts. Our Dementia Appeal was one of our first fundraising projects, aimed to improve facilities for people in hospital suffering with this cruel condition.
The number of people being diagnosed with dementia in the UK is constantly growing – and currently stands at 850,000. By 2025, it's estimated there will be a million people living with the condition.
David Haire, one of the Trustees for WISHH, says that, although going into hospital can be a very frightening and disorienting time for people with dementia, plenty can be done to make their stay easier to manage.
Some improvements have already been made to wards 8 and 80 (which look after dementia patients) at the Hull Royal Infirmary but more can be done. We are encouraging people to make a donation to WISHH.
All the money donated to our Dementia Appeal will be used to support a range of improvements within ward environments, building upon the creation of cinema style reminiscence areas, local artwork to stimulate memory and provide familiarity, and other environmental improvements such as décor and the provision of mood-lighting.
We hope that through further fundraising we can continue to create a dementia friendly environment in other wards in our hospitals.


Should I Cut Meat From My Diet?
Research on meat-rich diets seems to repeatedly suggest cutting back on eating meat, but that doesn't mean you have to eliminate it from your plate entirely.
A study on the health effects of meat-rich diets appears in the June 3 online edition of JAMA Internal Medicine. For the Adventist Health Study 2, researchers collected data from a pool of middle-aged Seventh-day Adventists, a group with historically lower rates of cardiovascular disease than the general population.
If you are 18 years or older, and are in general good health you may be eligible for this research study.
Dr. Hazen and his team are currently recruiting for a study to investigate the role of gut flora in all types of diets, including vegetarians, vegans and omnivores (individuals who eat meat and plant foods). For more information and participant requirements, call 216.445.1174.
Participants answered questions about their eating habits and were then categorized according to their answers about how often they ate meat. Then, data was collected in subsequent years about how many in each group died from ischemic heart disease or cardiovascular disease.
The study's findings gave yet again more support to the idea that in general, a more vegetarian dietary pattern may be associated with reduced mortality and increased longevity and could be useful in creating dietary guidelines for the public.
Before the Adventist study was published, Stanley Hazen, MD, PhD, Vice Chair of Translational Research for Cleveland Clinic's Lerner Research Institute and Section Head of Preventive Cardiology & Rehabilitation, published his ground-breaking findings about a possible causal link between red meat and atherosclerosis (clogged blood vessels).
Dr. Hazen's data suggests that carnitine contributes to red meat's association with heart disease by changing cholesterol metabolism, which along with saturated fat are generally regarded as the primary culprits of heart disease.
Rather than taking an all-or-nothing approach to meat in your diet, you can opt for a nutritious diet that limits the amount of red meat eaten and focuses mainly on fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains and lean protein. Dr. Hazen also advises that in addition to a diet low in red meat consumption, a routine exercise or walking program are excellent ways to help lower heart disease risks.

California Assemblyman Aims to Undermine Public Safety
Brenda Walker
Californias disdain for public safety knows no bounds when the comfort of illegal aliens is threatened, as shown by new legislation that would wipe out Secure Communities, the federal program for identifying already arrested illegal aliens.
Secure Communities is moderately effective, so the Raza-tarians hate it. They frequently show up to protest the program, so we know its good.
In this instance of elected representatives working to sabotage public safety, San Franciscos own gay Assemblyman Tom Ammiano is the author of the bill. He seriously dislikes law enforcement against foreign criminals, as indicated by his participation in an anti-Secure Communities event last January sponsored by Archbishop George Niederauer. Yes, the catholic church dislikes public safety also, particularly when it interferes with their illegal alien pew-warmers happy lifestyles.
Ammiano gets extra points for blood on his hands because he represents San Francisco, which recently concluded the trial of Edwin Ramos for the triple murder of Tony Bologna and his two sons. Ammiano should know very well that letting foreign gangsters run amok can kill it already has happened in his city.
Furthermore, we learned from the murder trial of Pedro Espinoza for shooting Jamiel Shaw that even extremely violent prisoners are routinely released in sanctuary cities rather than deported. Illegal alien gangster Espinoza had homicidal crazy written all over him after attacking several people while in jail including a police officer, but he was released and murdered 17-year-old Shaw just 28 hours after being let go on Los Angeles streets.
If some illegal aliens are deported who havent committed axe murders or worse, thats fine. As the late Congresswoman Barbara Jordan wisely stated in 1994 testimony to the Senate, As far as immigration policy is concerned, credibility can be measured by a simple yardstick: people who should get in, get in; people who should not enter are kept out; and people who are deportable should be required to leave.
IMMIGRATION: Bill would cut local authority to hold illegal immigrants for feds , North County Times, June 1, 2012
A bill introduced by a San Francisco assemblyman would prohibit local law enforcement agencies from detaining illegal immigrants for federal agents unless the detainees have prior felony convictions.
The measure, Assembly Bill 1081 by Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco, is aimed at curtailing the federal Secure Communities program, which is credited with helping to deport thousands of illegal immigrants held in local jails. The program electronically matches the fingerprints of people booked into county jails against federal databases to help identify illegal immigrants.
Critics of the Secure Communities program say it has cast a wide net, catching many people who have never been convicted of any crimes.
What is truly draconian is the endless stream of heart-breaking stories of food vendors, crime victims, even U.S. citizens and so many other community members trapped needlessly in local jails and swept in an out-of-control deportation dragnet, Ammiano said in a written statement.
The bill was introduced last year, but lawmakers held it in a Senate committee for changes. Ammiano rewrote and reintroduced the bill last month.
Under the measure, law enforcement officers would be prohibited from detaining a person for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents after the person is eligible to be released from custody unless that person has been convicted of a serious or violent felony.
Some law enforcement groups oppose the bill. San Diego Sheriff Bill Gore said the proposal was bad idea.
I disagree with the bill, Gore said. To me, it goes too far.
San Diego County was one of the earliest participants in the Secure Communities program. In San Diego County, ICE agents working in the jails run immigration checks on inmates. That means deputies dont have to do any of the work, Gore said.
Secure Communities started with 14 jurisdictions nationwide in 2008 and has grown to more than 1,400, including all counties in California.
Since it started, more than 7,400 people have been deported using Secure Communities in San Diego County. Of those who were deported, about 1,670, or 22 percent, had no criminal convictions, according to data from the Department of Homeland Security.
Critics of the program say too many innocent people are being deported.
For example, Elena Cabrera, an Escondido woman who called police on a domestic violence incident, was nearly deported last year. She was taken to jail along with her live-in boyfriend because he claimed that she had hit him back during an argument.
While in jail, Cabrera was identified as an illegal immigrant and held in custody for several days. An immigration lawyer was able to have her released due to a pending immigration application.
Incidents similar to Cabreras means that people who are in the country illegally will be less likely to report crimes in the future, immigrant rights advocates say.
The federal governments Secure Communities program is out of control, becoming more of a dragnet that unfairly sweeps up community members for deportation, said Pedro Rios, San Diego director of the American Friends Service Committee, a Quaker human rights organization.
Critics say the program also encourages racial profiling. They say officers may arrest Latinos and others perceived as being in the country illegally, knowing that their immigration status will be checked in jail.
Victor Torres, a criminal defense attorney and a spokesman for El Grupo, a North County based umbrella organization of civil and immigrant rights groups, said the Ammiano bill is a good step forward, but it does not address the racial profiling concerns.
The bill would go a long way to ensure that only true bad guys are handled in the criminal system, Torres said. But how does one fix racial profiling? It exists in the prejudices and fears that we carry.
According to a report released last year by UC Berkeleys law school and the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York, 93 percent of immigrants arrested under Secure Communities were Latinos. But Latinos make up 75 percent of the 11 million illegal immigrants in the country.
Secure Communities began under President George W. Bush, but it has flourished under President Barack Obama. It was initially billed as a voluntary program primarily aimed at catching hardened illegal immigrant criminals. However, the Obama administration said last year that the program was mandatory after several agencies, including the San Francisco Sheriffs Department refused to participate.
Gore said the program strikes a balance between the needs of local law enforcement to protect the community and the federal governments efforts to protect the nations borders.
Im a firm believer that immigration enforcement is primarily a responsibility of the federal government, but that doesnt mean that we cant cooperate, Gore said.
