Since the Vidalia High School boys basketball team entered state playoffs at third seed, many people underestimated their capabilities. The Indians rose to the occasion by defeating Early County 60-49 and Washington County 52-46. They then moved on to the Elite 8 where they dominated Jordan County 86-49. Anthony Jones had a game high of 25 points. Vidalia next faced off against Laney at GCSU in Milledgeville in the Final Four defeating them 49-45. Now the Indians face Thomasville Wednesday, March 7, at the Macon Coliseum.

VIKTORIA PLZEN VS INTER. MATCH PREDICTION
admin September 8, 2022 2 min read
The Czech Republic will host a match between the local best team of recent years and the vice-champion of Italy. "Viktoria" in Pilsen will host Inter Milan, and will try to surprise the favorite in the game of the second round of the group stage of the Champions League. What should you know before the starting whistle?
"Viktoria" Pilsen won its last Champions League qualifying match, beating Karabakh 2-1 in the playoff stage. After a 0-0 draw in the first match, the Czechs won 2-1 in the return home game. Jan Kopic and Jan Kliment scored the goals. The hosts approach the first round of the Champions League with a streak of 34 games without a defeat in all competitions. With three goals, Clement became the top scorer in Victoria's qualification.
In the last six matches in all competitions, Inter won four times and lost twice. During this period, the Milanese have scored 14 and conceded eight goals. "The Black and Blue scored five goals in the first half, while their opponents had two goals in the first 45 minutes. In the previous season in the Champions League, Inter stood out with Edin Dzeko, who scored three goals. In addition, the Milanese have not left the field without a goal in their last 20 games in all competitions.
The two sides have not previously met. The game will be the first in the history of the clubs. Since the start of the season, the Milan club has traditionally been good offensively with Inzaghi on the bench. In only one meeting did the Milanese score fewer than two goals when they lost to Lazio in Rome. The visitors are also sure to be very active offensively in our encounter. We expect the Blues and Blacks to score at least two goals.

摘要: Copper selenide (of the type Cu2-xSe) film electrodes, prepared by combined electrochemical (ECD) followed by chemical bath deposition (CBD), may yield high photo-electrochemical (PEC) conversion efficiency (similar to 14.6%) with no further treatment. The new ECD/CBD-copper selenide film electrodes show enhanced PEC characteristics and exhibit high stability under PEC conditions, compared to the ECD or the CBD films deposited separately. The electrodes combine the advantages of both ECD-copper selenide electrodes (in terms of good adherence to FTO surface and high surface uniformity) and CBD-copper selenide electrodes (suitable film thickness). Effect of annealing temperature, on the ECD/CBD film electrode composition and efficiency, is discussed. (C) 2017 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

"On every continent, in every nation, God is at work in and through the lives of believers. From the streets of Amsterdam to remote Pacific islands to the jungles of Ecuador and beyond, each international adventure that emerges is a dramatic episode that could be directed only by the hand of God. The story of one man's dedicated passion for the people of Brazil is a compelling reminder that God restores broken lives and broken dreams.

Charlton's Adobe
Irene's Adobe
Charlton's Adobe - April 2009
This adobe was originally built in 1933 by Gerald Charlton, a landscape architect from British Columbia. The Stubbs brothers were the primary contractors, molding most of the adobe bricks and pouring the foundation. They also assisted with the doors, casements and various nooks and crannies.
Charlton called the Adobe "La Querencia," which is that part of the bullring to which a bull retreats before making his last stand.
From 1956 to 1963 the adobe was used as the art gallery for the Twentynine Palms Artists Guild.
Patio area of Charlton's Adobe when it was being used as the art gallery.
In 1967, Charlton married Irene Zimmers, widow of Phil Zimmers and a noted water color painter and teacher. Just four years later Gerald died. Irene made her home at the adobe until her death in 1997 at the age of 95.
After Irene's death the adobe passed into the hands of Jane Smith who has preserved it and made it a part of the Twentynine Palms Inn.
For more information about this and other adobe buildngs in Twentynine Palms see Pat Rimmington's The Adobes of Twentynine Palms available in our gift shop or from the author.

For the first time in a year & a half I missed a monthly photo diary, eek! So to compensate for being a bad blogger I've popped June & July together! Me and my partner moved into our own little house so not only have I been extra busy, but the homeware freak inside me has been in her absolute element adding pieces to make it special.
I made these Christening cupcakes for the cutest baby girl who I am now a Godmother to. I'm not sure why but I just adore the little ribbons on this cupcake design, it's my favourite! I also created a new Instagram, called CatherineBakes, which is for all of my cake creations that I make to order as they don't all get featured anywhere, check out if you fancy!
I finally tracked down the Too Faced Funfetti blush, which was part of their adorable Funfetti collection, that never fully made it to the UK. I know that you can now buy the palette exclusively here, which I'm having to restrain myself for splurging on, but for now this little Love Flush Blush will do. The baby pink heart shaped packaging is all kinds of adorable (umm Polly Pocket anyone?) and the blush itself has a sprinkling of pink, peach and soft lilac.
Once I'd created these Beauty & The Beast themed cupcakes, I decided I wanted to make a Disney themed cupcake series and naturally Cinderella went straight to the top of my list. I adore the pretty powder blues and soft pinks in Cinderella and of course I had to include the glass slipper, the pumpkin carriage, her blue ballgown, ribbons from her mother's dress and her little bluebird helpers.
Apologies that this photo diary seems to consist of cupcakes and blusher but I couldn't not include this beaut from Ciate! They're killing it recently with all of the pretty new makeup releases and I had to pick up one of their new blush & highlighting duos in the shade Pinch Me. It's a lovely soft peach shade and swirled with the illuminator it gives the lovelist flush to the skin making you look super radiant and glowy.
A little selfie from June. I'm wearing Charlotte Tilbury Valentine lipstick which looks a bit more pink in real life than it's coming across in this photo (full review here). Since my MAC Creme Cup lipstick ran out, it's been my favourite. And my top is a Miss Selfridge number!
those pink sparkly shoes are absolutely gorgeous!
The toofaced blushes!! I still need to get my hands on those. You are gorgeous darling!!!
Still obsessed with your photo diaries and cupcakes, so I honestly love that it's almost like a cupcake diary! Super cute as always!

Home / News / Chrome will warn you if your logins have been stolen
Chrome will warn you if your logins have been stolen
Manikantan Padmanabhan December 11, 2019 News
Google is adding several new features to Chrome to keep you safe while browsing online. To start, the next time you try to login to a website, Chrome will warn you if your username and password were compromised in a data breach. It will also suggest you change any passwords you've reused.
As Google itself notes, this feature is something the company has been working on for a while now. It started with an extension back in February; in October, it embedded the feature directly into Google Accounts.
Google is also adding real-time phishing protection to Chrome on the desktop. To be clear, Chrome already warns you when it thinks you're about to navigate to a website that will attempt to steal your information. However, Google says this new feature, which builds on the company's Safe Browsing database, is now 30 percent more likely to warn you of a potential threat.
Moving forward, Chrome will also tell you when it thinks you're about to enter your Google Account password into a suspected phishing website. Previously, you were only able to take advantage of this functionality if you had Chrome's sync feature enabled. Now it will protect whether you've turned sync on or not. Additionally, Google says it will work with all the passwords you have stored in Chrome's built-in password manager.
Lastly, Google has tweaked the interface of Chrome to make it easier to see if you're about to save a login on a shared computer or on a different profile. The reworked sign-in indicator is located to the right of the address bar and it will briefly show you the name of the person associated with the account. The redesigned menu item also makes it easier to switch between profiles, according to the company.
If you use a password manager, you already have access to a lot of the functionality that Google is introducing today. 1Password, for instance, includes a feature called Watchtower that warns you of data breaches, and checks your passwords against the Have I Been Pwned? database to see if you need to change your logins. But if you'd like to use one less app in your day-to-day while still staying safe, Chrome's new features can help with that. Google says it will roll out everything it detailed today over the next few weeks.


TIP! When looking for insurance coverage, it is important to shop around to find the right coverage. One way to save money is to price shop using one of the many insurance comparison websites available online.
Know what you should look for in a life insurance policy and what to expect from companies. You need to understand exactly what is available for you and what you need in your future. Use this article as a starting point.
TIP! You may find that life insurance premiums will be higher if your hobbies are high risk activities such as skydiving or drag car racing. Additionally, some occupations, such as helicopter pilot or a race car driver, can be considered high risk by your insurance provider, and they will increase your premiums accordingly.
Make sure that you are adequately covered in the sum insured before you make your purchase. If you purchase a policy that exceeds your needs, you will end up paying costly premiums without seeing any return. You will feel more secure if you make the right life insurance decisions.
TIP! It is not necessary to buy into a life insurance policy that pays out a large amount. That will just rob you of your money while you're still living.
Include coverage for both ongoing expenses as well as one-time expenses when you are buying life insurance. These funds should also be used to cover for taxes or the cost of a funeral.
TIP! Make sure you get an appropriate amount of insurance. Find out how much coverage you are going to need and who all needs to be covered before you begin looking around.
It is not necessary to buy into a life insurance policy that pays out a large amount. This can empty your wallet while you are still alive. Just get an insurance policy that gives your family enough money to get by in the event of your death.
TIP! If you engage in risky activity, either professionally or as a hobby, you'll have to pay higher life insurance premiums. If you can not afford the rates quoted you, consider giving up any dangerous hobbies such as skydiving or scuba diving.
Buy your life insurance through your financial advisor, rather than using a broker. An insurance broker earns a large commission from any insurance policy you purchase. Financial advisers only get the flat fee you pay them. Therefore, financial advisers have no reason to be dishonest with you as they offer recommendations about your policy.
TIP! Fully disclose any job or hobby-related dangers to your health. While you may end up paying more money, you can avoid the hassle of becoming ineligible for full coverage as a result of your failure to disclose this information.
It is a good idea to investigate the company which underwrites your policy for life insurance. They need to be reputable and large enough to handle any claims. Though you can save some money by going with a lesser known company, you do not want to be surprised when needs arise, and they are nowhere to be found.
TIP! If you are using the Internet to request life insurance, don't provide too many personal details. There are some scammers online that claim they offer insurance, but just want to take over your identity.

The Unforgivable Betrayal In The Sri Lankan Political History?
No Comments on The Unforgivable Betrayal In The Sri Lankan Political History?
By MYM Siddeek &#8211
Dr. MYM Siddeek
There is a widespread rumour that Mithripala Sirisena agreed to nominate Mahinda Rajapaksa as a parliamentary candidate for the forthcoming parliamentary election. Numerous individuals do not think this rumour for the reasons properly recognized to the globe. The victory of MS in the presidential election in January 8th, 2015 was not a surprise since it was anticipated that the Tamil and Muslim minority groups that had been subjected to critical injustices by the MR government given that 2005 would overwhelmingly vote for him. As anticipated, they came out to vote for MS in fantastic strength. For example, over 68 percent of the votes in the Northern Province was polled in distinct contrast to the 2010 elections when Jaffna district saw only 25 percent polling and the other districts of Wanni region saw just 40 percent polling. The Muslims too voted with unusual enthusiasm and in large numbers for MS. All round the election registered a record turnout exceeding 81%. Their votes had been primarily anti-MR than pro-MS. The men and women voted for MS to get rid of MR tyranny rather than being convinced by the pledge of MS to implement the 100-day reform system. Sri Lanka&#8217s majority Sinhalese population also objected to the quantity of energy accrued by MR&#8217s family and corruption of his regime. In other words what they wanted was a regime change. The nation by no means witnessed such a communal unity among the main three communities in the Sri Lankan history in an election. There had been clear reasons for this. It was clear that many Tamils have been believed to have voted heavily for MS not simply because they supported him but since they hated MR so significantly. Muslims, the second-biggest ethnic minority, also voted against MR, who was accused of backing BBS and other racist groups and turning a blind eye on anti-Muslim violence in June final year in Aluthgama and Beruwela places. As for the Sinhalese, MS&#8217s entry into the race gave them one more credible alternative if they wanted Sri Lanka to move in a correct direction.
Therefore, if MS agrees to nominate MR in the forthcoming parliamentary elections, the people will never forgive him and they will take into account it as the greatest betrayal of the people in the Sri Lankan political history. He will be clearly branded as a traitor. It may also be the finish of his political career right after he completes his term of office in tiny much more than 4 years&#8217 time. Men and women now urge MS not to make such historic mistake in his political career. The voters entrusted him with the job of cleaning the mess, eliminating corrupt practices, restoring rule of law and guaranteeing good governance by eliminating the loved ones rule on the 8th January 2015. President MS himself repeatedly mentioned this publicly on many occasions prior to and after the election. What would make him to take a big U turn and betray 6.2 million voters?
When we go back to pre January 2015 days, it will be extremely clear why the men and women voted for MS. When MS announced on 21 November 2014 that he would challenge incumbent President MR at the 2015 presidential election as the widespread opposition candidate a massive quantity of men and women even did not know effectively who he was. But the folks were convinced very considerably with his election propaganda and promises. MS claimed that every little thing in Sri Lanka was controlled by MR and that the nation was heading towards a tyranny with widespread corruption, nepotism and a breakdown of the rule of law. Though he promised to abolish the executive presidency inside one hundred days of getting elected, repeal the controversial eighteenth amendment, re-instate the seventeenth amendment and appoint Ranil Wickremesinghe as prime minister, the principal convincing appeal to the folks was acquiring rid of MR. He also mentioned instantly following he was elected president, 'no more abductions, no more censorship, no far more family members rule, no more dictatorship.' Soon following his declaration as the Presidential candidate, MS mentioned &#8220Today 48 political parties and organisations have united as a common coalition regardless of party policies, ethnicity and religion to defeat MR&#8217s corrupt regime.&#8221 Throughout his election campaign, MS said that he had warned MR to change his approaches or threat new unrest in the country. He additional said that MR was top the country down a dangerous road to destruction. He also stated that &#8220I came out since I could not stay any longer with a leader who had plundered the nation, government and national wealth.&#8221 Because MS&#8217s defection, dozens of MR loyalist parliamentarians followed him. Is he going to betray all of them as well if the rumour is proved to be true?
MS should not forget the reality that, as reported by some parliamentarians, MR even attempted to stage a coup in order to keep in energy when it became clear he was going to shed the election. He need to also don't forget that he was branded a &#8220traitor&#8221 by MR&#8217s close allies.
If MR is given nomination, it may well be the finish of the party and we will be able to see a huge number of crossovers to the opposition. MS need to not forget all the struggles the people, his allied parties and partners went through to elect him as President of this country. If he betrays the individuals by giving the country to MR again, he will have to spend a extremely large cost for this. What is he going to inform those voters who relied on him and trusted him in the final Presidential election? People have not forgotten the dictatorial and household rule against which MS campaigned to turn out to be the President. MS ought to realise the truth that MR is attempting to destroy the country as soon as once again.
When MS created a speech at the function to celebrate Chandrika Kumaratunga&#8216s 70th birthday at BMICH he did not overlook to mention that he would take his choices contemplating his party and the nation. It also indicates that he will not place his celebration just before the country and people who voted for him. It was a identified reality that MR was detrimental to both the party and the nation. For that reason, he demands to take a appropriate selection not to permit MR as a candidate for the forthcoming parliamentary election. MS also did not fail to mention that he by no means thought of becoming President even in his dream and it was CBK who initiated the notion of placing forward his name as Presidential candidate. He also stated that he in no way believed JVP and UNP would support him. Is he going to betray all these parties, personalities and the folks? The decision and the nation&#8217s future are solely in his hand now!

What's the Craic?
A Quick Trip to Holy Island
Moana on Oyster Website
SYMoana
Afloat Again & Heading Northwards
Overwintering at Fox's Marina in Ipswich meant that the work carried out in 2018 could be fully checked over by the superb boatyard staff. After some tidying up of the windows and Coppercoat, the anodes and grounding plates were checked over and replaced, a mastic seal on the skeg replaced and Propspeed applied to the Maxprop and shaft. It's now mid May and Moana is back in the water tucked up alongside the majestic Havengore, a former hydrographic survey launch which is best known for carrying the body of Winston Churchill up the Thames as part of his state funeral in 1965.
With all the uncertainty bought about by the Covid pandemic we were extremely fortunate to have sailed Moana back to the UK last Summer. It was a wonderful trip up via the Algarve, the Portuguese West Coast, Galicia and across the Bay of Biscay. Now we are in good shape to enjoy spending time on her over the summer around the British Isles. The current plan is to spend the next few weeks preparing for the trip up the east coast to Scotland, through the Caledonian Canal & the Great Glen and out to the Western Isles. That means thorough checks of all her systems, refitting sails, servicing the Volvo and liferaft, checking the safety gear, updating charts and pilot books and a general clean up after nearly 6 months 'on the hard'.
By mid June we should be in a position to make the passage to Inverness. Once the School summer holiday starts in early July we'll be back up to join her and casting off for another family adventure, this time with wetsuits at the ready..... :-)

In Wonder Woman Vol. 1 #204, Diana's powers and costume were returned to her and she is once again reinstated as Wonder Woman.[94] I-Ching is killed by a crazy sniper in the same issue.[96] Later, Diana meets her sister Nubia, who is Hippolyta's daughter fashioned out of dark clay (hence Nubia's dark complexion).[97][98] Nubia claimed to be the "Wonder Woman of The Floating Island", and she challenges Diana to a duel which ends in a draw.[98] Returning to her home, Nubia would have further adventures involving Diana.[97]
Wonder Woman continued to use the plane for super speed, outer space, and multi-dimensional transport up until the unpowered era of Diana Prince. When Wonder Woman resumed superpowered, costumed operations in 1973, she continued to use the jet as before, but did glide on air currents for short distances. At one point, Aphrodite granted the plane the power to fly faster than the speed of light for any interstellar voyages her champion might undertake.[200] Thanks to tinkering by gremlins, the Plane even developed intelligence and the power to talk.[201] The plane proved a good friend, eager to help his "mistress" and her loved ones in any way possible. It got along especially well with Steve Trevor.[citation needed]
Discussion of a sequel began shortly after the release of the first film in June 2017, and the decision to proceed was confirmed the following month. Principal photography began on June 13, 2018 – with filming taking place at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden in England, as well as the District of Columbia and Northern Virginia in the United States, London and Duxford in England, Tenerife and Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands, and Almería in Andalusia, Spain – and finished on December 22, 2018, after a six-month shoot. Additional filming took place in July 2019.
Diana, Steve and Joe Atkinson (Norman Burton), a weathered IADC agent, received their orders from a "Charlie's Angels-like" character who is heard but never seen. Diana and Steve would go out and work the field while Joe assisted from the office. The Atkinson character was dropped after the ninth episode of this season, and Steve was given a promotion, becoming IADC Director, and Diana's boss, in the process. This promotion for Steve Trevor meant that Lyle Waggoner was seen less in subsequent episodes for the remainder of the series' run. In this season, the computer IRAC (Information Retrieval Associative Computer), more informally known as "Ira," was introduced: its first appearance is in season 2, episode 1, where Diana introduces her Diana Prince identity into its records, over IRAC's protests. Ira was the IADC's super-intelligent computer, who deduces that Diana Prince is really Wonder Woman, although he never shares this information with anyone, except Diana herself. Saundra Sharp joined the cast as Eve, Steve's assistant (the job held by Diana at the start of the season). Towards the end of the season, in the episode "IRAC is Missing," a small mobile robot called Rover was added for comic relief. An offshoot of IRAC who performs duties such as delivering coffee and sorting mail, Rover speaks with a high-pitched voice, occasionally makes "Beep Beep" sounds and, like IRAC, is aware that Wonder Woman's secret identity is Diana Prince.
The Invisible Plane appeared in the very first comic stories, including All-Star Comics #8, where it is shown as being able to fly at over 2,000 mph (3,200 km/h) and to send out rainbow rays that penetrate the mist around Paradise Island, as well as landing stealthily and having a built-in radio. Wonder Woman is seen storing the plane at an abandoned farm near Washington, D.C., in the barn; she goes there as Lt. Prince and changes clothes in some of the earliest tales. Though never explicitly stated, the Plane is presumably stored there when not in use for the rest of the Pre-Crisis era. In a story published shortly after, it flies at 40 miles (64 km) a second.[citation needed]
"Not even girls want to be girls so long as our feminine archetype lacks force, strength, and power. Not wanting to be girls, they don't want to be tender, submissive, peace-loving as good women are. Women' s strong qualities have become despised because of their weakness. The obvious remedy is to create a feminine character with all the strength of Superman plus all the allure of a good and beautiful woman."
^ Mozzocco, J. Caleb. "The Many Loves of Wonder Woman: A Brief History Of The Amazing Amazon's Love Life". ComicsAlliance. Archived from the original on August 30, 2012. Retrieved August 28, 2012. When the next volume of Wonder Woman would start, Trevor was sidelined as Diana's love interest. He still appeared in the series, but as an older man, one who would ultimately marry the post-Crisis version of Wondy's Golden Age sidekick, Etta Candy.
The original significance of Wonder Woman had the intentions of influencing many women of all ages, displaying the physical and mental strengths, values, and ethical attributes that not only men acquire. "Wonder Woman symbolizes many of the values of the women's culture that feminists are now trying to introduce into the mainstream: strength and self-reliance for women; sisterhood and mutual support among women; peacefulness and esteem for human life; a diminishment both of 'masculine' aggression and of the belief that violence is the only way of solving conflicts," Steinem wrote at the time.[223]
When Hippolyta and the other Amazons were trapped in a demonic dimension, she started receiving visions about the death of Wonder Woman.[107] Fearing her daughter's death, Hippolyta created a false claim that Diana was not worthy of continuing her role as Wonder Woman, and arranged for a contest to determine who would be the new Wonder Woman, thus protecting Diana from her supposed fate.[108] The participants of the final round were Diana and Artemis, and with the help of some mystic manipulation by Hippolyta, Artemis won the contest.[109] Thus, Diana was forced to hand over her title and costume to Artemis, who became the new Wonder Woman and Diana started fighting crime in an alternate costume.[110] Artemis later died in battle with the White Magician – thus, Hippolyta's vision of a dying Wonder Woman did come true, albeit not of Diana as Wonder Woman.[111] Diana once again became Wonder Woman, a request made by Artemis in her last seconds. Artemis would later return as Requiem. Prior to Artemis' death, Hippolyta would admit to her daughter about her own part in Artemis' death, which strained their relationship as Diana was unable to forgive her mother for sending another Amazon to her death knowingly for the sake of saving her own daughter.
In September 2011, DC Comics relaunched its entire publication line in an initiative called The New 52. Among the major changes to the character, Wonder Woman now appears wearing a new costume similar to her older one, and has a completely new origin. In this new timeline, Wonder Woman is no longer a clay figure brought to life by the magic of the gods. Rather, she is the demigoddess daughter of Queen Hippolyta and Zeus: King of the Greek Gods. Her original origin is revealed as a cover story to explain Diana's birth as a means to protect her from Hera's wrath. Currently, Diana has taken on the role and title as the new "God of War".[129][130]

Steve Rose in The Guardian criticized the film for failing to explore the material's potential for "patriarchy-upending subversion".[223] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone criticized the film's over-reliance on exposition: "Wonder Woman is hobbled by a slogging origin story and action that only comes in fits and starts. Just when Gadot and director Patty Jenkins...are ready to kick ass, we get backstory."[224]
Feminist icon Gloria Steinem, founder of Ms. magazine, was responsible for the return of Wonder Woman's original abilities. Offended that the most famous female superhero had been depowered into a boyfriend-obsessed damsel in distress, Steinem placed Wonder Woman (in costume) on the cover of the first issue of Ms. (1972) – Warner Communications, DC Comics' owner, was an investor – which also contained an appreciative essay about the character.[221] Wonder Woman's powers and traditional costume were restored in issue #204 (January–February 1973).[221]
The Gods, led by Athena, create the Amazons in Greece to realize their ideals and bring humans into following them. The leader of the Amazons, Hippolyta feels a yearning for a child). She makes a clay form of a child and prays to the Gods. Hearing this the Gods give the clay form, transforming it into a live child blessed with Gaea's gift, life. The Gods grant her various abilities and she grows up as Diana of Themyscira.
In the comics, Steve Trevor and Diana met in the Second World War (1939-45). However, in the film, they meet in the First World War (1914-18). The change in World Wars was made because the filmmakers thought that era was more suitable: "World War I was the first time that civilization as we know it was finding its roots, but it's not something that we really know the history of. In this world, there are questions about women's rights, about a mechanized war where you don't see who you are killing. It's such an interesting time." See more »
Many writers have depicted Diana in different personalities and tone; between both of her diametric extremes; that of a worldly warrior, a highly compassionate and calm ambassador, and sometimes also as a naive and innocent person, depending on the writer. What has remained constant, and is a mainstay of the character, is her nurturing humanity: her overwhelming belief in love, empathy, compassion, and having a strong conscience.[citation needed] This trait had been the reason for her induction into the Star Sapphires.[69][70]
^ Cronin, Brian. "Diana Prince – Forgotten Classic". Snark Free Waters. Archived from the original on August 10, 2014. Retrieved April 23, 2005. Sadly, though, in the last issue of the run, I-Ching was murdered and Wonder Woman was given amnesia. When the Amazons returned her memories (and her powers), they left out her memories of her experiences as just plain "Diana Prince."
Following the events of the Darkseid War, Wonder Woman is told by the dying Myrina Black that on the night of Diana's birth, Hippolyta gave birth to a twin child. This child was revealed to be male, known as Jason, and is said to be incredibly powerful. Wonder Woman makes it her mission to find him.[160] At the same time, she finds the truth behind her origin and history is now cluttered, as she remembers two versions: the pre-Flashpoint one, and the New 52 rendition. She cannot locate Themiscyra or her fellow Amazons and the Lasso of Truth does not work for her anymore.
Despite (or perhaps because of) the fact that Wonder Woman had fallen in love with the first Steve Trevor, the producers chose to drop any suggestion that Steve Jr. and Wonder Woman were anything more than good friends. Indeed, when an impostor posing as Steve Jr. attempted to seduce Diana, she made it quite clear that she had no sexual interest in him. Executive producer Douglas S. Cramer noted the difficulties in maintaining long-term romantic tension between leads, because the resolution of that romantic tension often results in the cancellation of the series.[9]
To find the perfect location to shoot the Amazon island of Themyscira, the birthplace of Wonder Woman herself, the film's producers searched all over the world, finally settling on the Cilentan Coast: a stretch of coastline on the Tyrrhenian Sea, located in the Province of Salerno in Southern Italy.[134] It was chosen because most beaches in the world that sit below big cliffs disappear beneath the tide for part of every day. Production designer Aline Bonetto and her location manager Charles Somers considered 47 countries and visited several of them before they found what they were looking for. Bonetto explained that, "Italy had beautiful weather, a beautiful blue-green sea, not too much tide, not too much wave. Our effects team added some cliffs in post-production, and it was the perfect way to go".[135] The estuary at Lower Halstow in Kent is featured in the scene in which Diana arrives at a Belgian creek to make her way to the warfront.[136] Bill Westenhofer served as the visual effects supervisor for the film[137] and Martin Walsh served as editor.[127]
With the decision to relaunch the DC Universe into the new 52, this was done by the Flashpoint story arc, where the Reverse Flash has modified the past with a vastly different modern DC Universe having resulted. In this universe Diana leads a dystopian society of Amazons that have taken over England after a battle between the Amazons and the Atlanteans led by Aquaman.
Wonder Woman had its world premiere in Shanghai on May 15, 2017, and was released in the United States on June 2, 2017, in 2D, Real D 3D, and IMAX 3D by Warner Bros. Pictures. The film received largely positive reviews, with praise for its direction, acting, visuals, action sequences, and musical score.[8] The film set several box office records,[9] and became the fifth highest-grossing superhero film domestically and 20th highest-grossing film in the United States overall. It grossed over $821 million worldwide, making it the tenth highest-grossing film of 2017. As of August 2019, Rotten Tomatoes has listed the film fourth on its list of the "Best Superhero Movies of All Time",[10][note 1] and the American Film Institute selected it as one of the top 10 films of 2017.[11] A sequel, Wonder Woman 1984, is scheduled to be released on June 5, 2020, with Jenkins returning as director and Gadot reprising her role.
An immortal Amazon warrior goddess who is the crown princess of Themyscira and the daughter of Queen Hippolyta and Zeus given to the Amazons to raise.[12] Describing Wonder Woman and her appeal, Gadot said, "She's relatable. She has the heart of a human and is very compassionate, but her experiences—or lack of them, her naivete, really—make her interested in everything around her and able to view the world in a way that we'd all like to: with a genuine curiosity."[13] On Diana's relationship with her mother, Gadot said, "Diana is a very opinionated girl. Her mother is very opinionated. Her mother is very protective as well, and they have, you know, the very natural clash that a mother has with her daughter, with their daughters, the first time they want to leave home."[14] On taking on the role as Wonder Woman, Gadot stated, "I feel very privileged that I got the opportunity to portray such an iconic, strong female character. I adore this character and everything that she stands for and everything that she symbolizes."[15] On Diana going to the world, Gadot stated, "When Diana comes to the real world she's completely oblivious about gender and society rules, that women are not equal to men."[16] Describing Diana's relationship with her mother and aunts, Jenkins said, "She is the only child they raised together. And their love for her manifests in a different way for each of them."[17] On working with Gadot, Jenkins said, "Gal quickly became the person I wanted to talk to about everything. We'd shoot together all day. And then on weekends, we'd be like, 'What do you want to do?' That's maybe not totally normal."[18]
for a long time, people didn't know how to approach the story. When Patty and I had our creative conversations about the character, we realized that Diana can still be a normal woman, one with very high values, but still a woman. She can be sensitive. She is smart and independent and emotional. She can be confused. She can lose her confidence. She can have confidence. She is everything. She has a human heart.[7]
Unlike the earlier pilot, the comic-book origins of the character were emphasized by the retention of the character's traditional uniform (the design of which was interpreted and executed by Donald Lee Feld, credited as "Donfeld") with the original setting and through the use of comic book elements. The series's title sequence was animated in the form of a series of comic book panels featuring Wonder Woman performing a variety of heroic feats. Within the show, location and exposition were handled through comic book-style text panels. Transitions between scenes and commercial breaks were marked by animated starburst sequences.

Wonder Woman grossed $412.6 million in the United States and Canada and $409.3 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $821.8 million, against an estimated production budget of $120–150 million.[5] Estimates for the number the film needed to surpass internationally in order to cover its production and promotional costs and break even ranged from $300 million[176] to $460 million.[177] Deadline Hollywood calculated the net profit of the film to be $252.9 million, when factoring together all expenses and revenues, making it the 6th most profitable release of 2017.[178]
This graphic novel discusses what happens when an immortal and extremely strong warrior also happens to be kind of a brat. Diana is a work-in-progress, to say the least, and she is forced to come to grips with her own shortcomings as a person. It's a compelling narrative, featuring gorgeous artwork, and completely reimagines the early years of Wonder Woman.
Carolyn Cocca has stated that Wonder Woman possesses a "duality of character" due to the character possessing both feminine and masculine qualities in her physical abilities and attitude, which Cocca felt made her more appealing to a wide audience.[224] Wonder Woman's first female editor, Karen Berger, claimed that, "Wonder Woman [is] a great role model to young women, but also contains many elements that appeal to males as well. Wonder Woman crosses the gender line.".[224] Berger worked with George Pérez on the new issues of Wonder Woman starting in 1987, and the new Diana "works with friends and allies to teach lessons of peace and equality."[225]

Healthcare executives and organizations are extremely confident AI will be the solution to several problems within the industry. They're so confident, in fact, organizations are expected to invest an average of $32.4 million each in AI over the next five years, according to a recent survey of healthcare executives by health IT company Optum.
"Artificial intelligence has the potential to transform healthcare by helping predict disease and putting the right insights into the hands of clinicians as they treat patients, which can reduce the total cost of care," Eric Murphy, CEO of OptumInsight, said in a statement.
Seventy-five percent of healthcare organizations are actively implementing or have plans to execute an AI strategy, while 42 percent already have a strategy that has yet to be implemented, according to the survey. Twenty-two percent of employers said their AI implementations are at a late stage, with nearly full deployment.
Additionally, healthcare executives are also confident they'll reap the benefits of investing in AI within the next five years. More than 90 percent of healthcare executives are confident their organizations will see a return on investment from AI.


Connecting the Divide between Motivational Speakers and People who Need Them Most!
Conference Attendees are Usually Already Motivated.
Most speakers are hired by professional associations or companies. The people in these audiences, for the most part, are attending because they want to strengthen their position in an already existing, often thriving career.
Employees sent on the company's dime to improve their skills and gain knowledge are usually doing pretty well to justify such a big corporate investment. And if the attendee is a professional entrepreneur, he or she is doing well enough to afford to pay hundreds of dollars (if not thousands) for registration, travel and purchases at these events on their own.
I'm not knocking the conferences at all. I love them! I want to be chosen to "rock the house" at all of them! There is a need for them. Wonderful information is shared. Strong connections are made. I love conferences!
I can't ignore, however, the fact that for every person who attends a conference, there are thousands of people who can't afford a hotel room, much less afford airfare and a registration fee. And these people really need the expertise, encouragement and "life skills" training that we provide.
Announcing the Weekly Power Lunch!
I'm excited to announce that I've teamed up with radio host and speaker Sugar Stallings to introduce the "Power Lunch Series" to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Sugar is one of the most dynamic young speakers I have met in recent years who just happened to move into my own back yard on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Each Thursday at noon (if we are in town), we will present strategies in personal development, career growth and self development. For $5, anyone can show up and get the same level of empowerment and expertise that conference attendees get. The $5.00 is for pizza and soft drinks. The presentation is one hour.
The first "Power Lunch" is this Thursday, March 13 at Demiller Hall, 610 Water Street, Biloxi, MS 39530.
I'm doing this for a few reasons. First, I want to give the opportunity for people in my community who really need the information, expertise and encouragement. Another reason is that I love to speak. I love seeing the look on people's faces when I say something that registers in their mind as "good stuff." The more I speak, the better I will get. And I am looking forward to working more closely with, and learning from the amazing Sugar Stallings!
Friends on the Gulf Coast: Come out and support us and bring friends and family members who need encouragement. You will be glad you did. Here's a map. See you at noon on Thursday!

egta and The Global TV Group define ad measurement standards
TV industry raises the bar for cross-platform audience measurement
egta and The Global TV Group adopt TV Charter which sets higher standards with regards to measurability, transparency of data and accountability than any other medium
egta – the association of television and radio sales houses – supported by The Global TV Group has released a progressive TV Charter on television companies' commitment towards the responsible and transparent measurement of advertising in the TV/video ecosystem.
The Charter was adopted by a vast majority of egta's 155 member sales houses active in over 42 countries, as well as by notable industry trade bodies such as Screenforce (DE, AT, CH, FI, NL), Thinkbox (UK), ThinkTV (AU/CA) and the VAB (US) which comprise The Global TV Group.
The set of simple principles aims to raise the bar with regards to measurability, transparency of data and accountability and defines first-time measurement standards for the entire TV industry. It serves as a reminder that TV's premium environment – both on-air and online – already meets the legitimate demands from advertisers for brand safety, transparency and access to verified data, as outlined in the Global Media Charter, published by the World Federation of Advertisers in 2018.
The egta Charter is also in line with the recently announced global WFA initiative designed to make the advertiser voice heard on the topic of cross-media measurement – and supports the WFA's determination to find cross-industry consensus on key principles for measurement, together with TV companies, online players and measurement companies.
The ultimate goal set forward by egta and The Global TV Group is to build a solid foundation for the TV industry to move forward in unison – evolving audience measurement, setting the highest standards allowing for comparability on a global level and building bridges with industry stakeholders in an increasingly digital, multi-screen and cross-platform advertising landscape.
Several senior executives involved in the initiative shared their comments on the TV Charter:
"In a fast-evolving media landscape characterised by changing viewing behaviour across screens and platforms, audience measurement too must evolve. As a growing amount of companies develop proprietary solutions in an attempt to solve part of the equation, it seems increasingly clear that the adoption of common industry guidelines is a much better option and that setting standards for viewability, transparency, accountability and data comparability is imperative to creating a level playing field. This is what this Charter is all about; it outlines TV companies' commitment to raising the bar for the whole industry. It is a reminder to advertisers that TV's premium content and environment – both on air and on line – already meet their growing demands for brand safety, transparency and access to reliable and verified data." – Malin Häger, President of egta and Sales Manager & Chief Commercial Officer at TV4 Sales
"To compete in this era of transformation and increasing digital competition, TV must evolve and adapt to the challenges of a multiscreen and cross-platform environment and in doing so, set the bar high when it comes to the measurability, transparency and accountability that marketers demand and deserve. If TV – with the premium content and brand-safe environment it provides – is to continue to deserve the recognition and loyalty of advertisers and marketers, it is vital that all players across Europe and across the globe adopt common principles. I support this TV Charter as it establishes simple standards that allow for comparability on a global level and creates a foundation for our industry to move forward together. "- Jamie West, Deputy Managing Director at Sky Media UK and Group Director of Advanced Advertising at Sky PLC
"The world of TV is increasingly collaborating and cooperating to offer more to advertisers, and this global charter is the latest step. egta should be applauded for it. It lets advertisers know the minimum they can expect from TV, from data provenance to brand safety standards. TV is a trusted, high-quality medium, a class apart, and it is vital that it continues to hold itself to the highest standards – especially at a time when some advertising environments are falling below what should be acceptable." – Lindsey Clay, President of the Global TV Group and CEO of Thinkbox

The Google Apps for Business services are pretty amazing, all things considered. I have watched institutions and companies begin using Google's services over the last couple years, but only recently started installing them for NelsonWerks clients. Search prowess and information management is the bedrock that Google is built on. This focus on integration and organization is the future.
My friend, and ex-Googler, Kyle introduced me to Android and the amazing steps that it has gone through in the last couple years. Now, this is sacrilegious for a huge Apple fan like me to say, but he might have won a convert. . . at least as far as smartphones are concerned. Google Now, and it's way of silently organizing your information into a stream of useful data, was nothing short of amazing to me. Apple iOS has fallen way behind in this game. Notification center is ok, the rest of the apps are useful, but Apple still keeps everything so compartmentalized that nothing can work together.
Yes, both systems have their shortcomings. Android is buggy at times, the more open structure of it allows for greater chance of software mishap because their quality control is not as stringent as Apple. On the other hand, Apple's quality control is more comprehensive, but stifles innovation. The lack of the ability to change default programs and access more root functions of the iOS further hampers any innovation outside of Apple Inc. While this may provide a more predictable user experience, the lack of the ability to customize and adapt your interface to your liking is where iOS is falling woefully behind.
I have an iPad as well as an iPhone, and it's just the phone that is in danger :) No one can argue that the iTunes and the App Store absolutely demolish Google Play. They just do. But all my apps that I need for my work can run on the iPad too, so I can still use them whenever I want. The allure of Android and Google Apps is that it streamlines your information in ways that iCloud doesn't even come close. With Apple iOS I have to manage my travel, messages, weather, news, search, etc. in totally different Apps. Google Now puts all these things into one helpful stream. For example, it pulls travel info from your email, and lets you know when you need to leave to get to the airport on time and which route to take to avoid traffic. All this, it does in the background. How many minutes and taps and Apps would that take on my iPhone? For starters, at least 3 Apps.

Checking In on Detroit, Three Years After Its UNESCO City of Design Designation
Sourcing + Trends
How has the city grown with the accolade?

In December 2015, Detroit became the first U.S. city named a UNESCO City of Design, joining the organization's Creative Cities Network. According to Olga Stella, executive director of Design Core Detroit (formerly known as DC3), the designation was a watershed moment for the city's design community. But how has the designation galvanized the Motor City? Has it really impacted the economy?
Walking around downtown Detroit, it's clear that the city is not yet on par with creative capitals like New York and Berlin, but changes are certainly brewing. Last year, the Detroit Foundation Hotel debuted in the former headquarters of the Detroit Fire Department, with an industrial-chic design by Simeone Deary Design Group and local firm McIntosh Poris Associates and a restaurant by Michelin-starred chef Thomas Lents. This year, the Siren Hotel revived the historic Wurlitzer Building with an eye-catching design by ASH NYC that pays homage to the city's early-20th-century glory days. It's located just a few blocks from the Belt, a public alley filled with street-art murals and lined with cool bars and the Library Street Collective art gallery. Yet walk down the street and you're sure to pass by boarded-up buildings and empty storefronts.
"In Detroit, design is visible but not at the top of the conversation like in other cities, and I think the design community was feeling a little deflated about their role, especially in a city with so many problems," Stella tells AD PRO. "When you're looking at things happening in the city, people tend to think of art and design as something that's nice to have but not essential. So I think getting the designation was an energizing moment for the local design community, because they're getting some of the recognition they deserved but weren't getting."

Stella joined Design Core Detroit about a month after the city received the UNESCO designation—thanks to the organization's efforts—and used it as an opportunity to start a dialogue with designers, academics, business owners, and civic and corporate leaders about the role design can play in a sustainable and equitable community. She and her team began an 18-month process of developing a city action plan that lays out the vision for the role design can have in the city's revitalization. "We didn't want to go the way of other cities that see a massive amount of growth and then local communities get pushed out and don't get to benefit," she explains. "We want to develop ourselves as a leader in inclusive design, which is an emerging trend in design and still nascent enough that we can grab hold of."

As Stella explains it, inclusive design means considering people of different socioeconomic statuses, cultural backgrounds, and literacy levels and developing design solutions that allow them to act more independently, confidently, and successfully in life. Stella cites the West Riverfront Park project, which she believes has the potential to rival Chicago's Millennium Park. Rather than ceding complete control to landscape architecture firm Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates (who won an international design competition for the project bid), the Detroit RiverFront Conservancy gave residents the opportunity to visit parks in other cities, describe what they wanted in their park, and have the architects respond accordingly. Similarly, the Detroit Institute of Art has been working to bring its art collection to the community and locals into the museum by installing replicas in public spaces and redesigning the lawn surrounding the building to make it more approachable. And one of the most exciting projects on the horizon will come as the Ford Motor Company redevelops the abandoned Michigan Central Station into a hub for mobility innovation with community areas, retail, and residential housing.
The West Riverfront Park project would include multiple areas for various uses, all designed based on input from locals.
Though Design Core hasn't yet analyzed the data for 2017 and 2018, it found that between 2012 and 2016 the design industry grew almost four times faster than employment growth in Detroit overall. And though design core industries were only one percent of firms and five percent of occupations, they were connected to 20 percent of the region's economy. That growth is most visible in the programming for Detroit's Month of Design, which will run for the entire month of September for the first time this year, representing an expansion and rebranding of the annual Detroit Design Festival, which has varied in scale since it launched in 2011.
Stella is especially excited about the mix of events, which includes exhibitions, lectures, workshops, and community experiences. Highlights include the first Sukkah building competition in Capitol Park; a photography exhibit by Focus:HOPE, an organization founded after the civil unrest of the 1960s to teach young people photography; a design crawl in the Fisher Building, designed by Albert Kahn in 1928; and Market After Dark, which is expected to draw 20,000 people to Eastern Market After Dark to see the murals and enjoy food and music in the streets.
"Sometimes places like Detroit, we just need a little more time for the market to build," Stella said. "The people of Detroit themselves are really resilient and I think that resiliencly is a huge asset that we can't underestimate. Every single day people of all different backgrounds are working to make their city better and I think that's very special about this place."

Palomino Camping Trailer construction began in 1968 with the dream of Mr. Vern Landey. Mr. Landey had been a tent trailer distributor for several years when he felt he could design and produce better quality units than were currently being offered to the public. He would design units which were lightweight and offered convenient floorplans at affordable prices. He began designing and producing Palomino pop-up tent trailers in a small building in Savage, Minnesota.
As demand for the Palomino grew, Mr. Landey felt it would benefit his company, Vanguard Ind., to relocate. With most manufacturers and industry suppliers located in the Elkhart, In. area the move eastward seemed logical. Vanguard Industries settled in the community of Colon in 1972. Once in Colon he began to put his plans in motion. By 1973 he had built the main production facility and within days Palomino tent trailers were rolling out the doors.
In 1976, Vanguard added its own Needle Division, in 1978 its own Metal Fabrication Plant, and has several cold storage facilities. On May 27, 1992, the primary production building and offices were destroyed by fire. By late August, 1992, the first 1993 model Palomino rolled of the line in the new 52,300 sq. ft. facility, which was built on the same site as the previous building had been.
The year 1998 continued to see expansion with the addition of a new 75,000 sq. ft. production facility, and another storage facility. In 2002 Vanguard was purchased by Forest River, Inc. This allowed for rapid growth and the introduction of two new towable lines of travel trailers and fifth wheels, Puma and Sabre by Palomino.
In 2005, Forest River, Inc. and it's divisions were acquired by Berkshire Hathaway. Palomino RV operates as a separate division of Forest River Inc., and has grown from humble beginnings in Minnesota to one of the top 5 RV manufacturing facilities in North America.

I have had the pleasure of doing a number of short films and photography projects for Australian Literacy & Numeracy Foundation (ALNF) over the last five years. This particular project required me to make a little doco on the work they are doing in Kempsey, NSW. It has been a delight to see and document their continued commitment to empowering local women.

Another reason to stop worrying about those inquiries is that until your score substantially recovers from the bankruptcy, perhaps in another year or two, your score alone isn't likely to qualify you for most kinds of credit at reasonable rates anyway – with or without those inquiries. By the time your score reaches credit-approval-worthiness, those inquiries will no longer be having any effect and, like your bankruptcy, they will simply fade into the distance.

Alien Franchise Update: Reboots, Sequels, and a Prequel Sequel
As a horror and sci-fi nerd, I do what I can to keep my franchise scorecard up to date. Right now, Star Wars and the superhero universes of DC and Marvel are currently developing a selection of movie and TV releases, while many other franchises are stuck in some form of reboot--either making another reboot sequel (Star Trek), preparing to release a reboot (RoboCop), or starting pre-production of a reboot (Terminator). I've also been keeping current with developments in the Alien franchise, which has a number of projects in development but only one movie in the works. Read on for more details about what 20th Century Fox has in store for the horror franchise where no one can hear you scream.
Comic Books: The only reboot that's planned right now for the Alien universe is being done by Dark Horse for its lines of Aliens, Predator and Aliens vs. Predator comics. According to io9's interview with the creative team behind the reboots, the new comics are being planned in conjunction with each other along with Dark Horse's new line of Prometheus comics. Presumably, this new expanded Alien, Engineer and Predator universe will be much more unified than the previous Dark Horse comics, which I think is a step in the right direction.
While the new comics will regard all of the previous stand-alone movies as canon, it appears that the AvP movies will not be referenced in any way by the new comics. Then again, since those movies cribbed most of their key ideas from Dark Horse's AvP comics anyway (such as Predators hunting Aliens as a rite of passage and the possibility of Alien-Predator hybrids), I don't think that the omission of specific details from those films will make much of a difference in the new comic stories.
Movies: So far, the only movie that's planned for the Alien franchise is a sequel to Prometheus, the 2012 Alien prequel. Director Ridley Scott and cast member Michael Fassbender have both confirmed that Prometheus 2 will happen and it will most likely go into production in 2015.
Video Games: Even though Sega's Aliens: Colonial Marines was a disaster, that hasn't discouraged the company from trying its hand at publishing another Alien game. According to Kotaku, Sega is overseeing the development of a new game called Alien: Isolation that will place a greater emphasis on survival tactics over run-and-gun action. Isolation will take place on a space station and most of the game will feature only a single Alien; however, the most interesting details about this game are that its protagonist will be Amanda Ripley, daughter of Ellen Ripley, and its other characters will include clones. (FYI, Amanda is mentioned in the extended director's cut of Aliens, not the theatrical release.)
Amanda's presence in Isolation suggests that it will take place between Alien and Aliens, although why Amanda is being used at all outside of her obvious connection to Ripley remains a mystery. Furthermore, clones don't appear in the Alien saga until Alien Resurrection, which takes place 200 years after Alien 3. Perhaps Isolation will provide more background details about certain plot points in Resurrection, but that's just speculation for now.
Novels: A new novel entitled Alien: Out of the Darkness will be published in January 2014. Written by Tim Lebbon, Out of the Darkness is the first of a trilogy of novels that take place between Alien and Aliens. The other two books in the trilogy are being written by other authors, but each novel has been developed under the supervision of 20th Century Fox with the intent of making them part of franchise canon. Whether the new novel trilogy will have any connections to the Alien: Isolation game is currently unknown.
Lebbon has already said in interviews that the plot of Out of the Darkness will involve Ripley and Ash. According to him, some of Ash's android consciousness remained alive in the computer of the Narcissus escape pod, but he hasn't said how Ripley will be involved in the story while also remaining in hypersleep. I'm guessing that the novel with have a situation along the lines of the early scenes of Prometheus where the android David was watching Elizabeth Shaw's dreams--maybe the disembodied Ash will be invading the dreams of Ripley.
I think that each of these projects have great potential for continuing and expanding the Alien universe. However, the fact that 20th Century Fox is only willing to develop "canon" stories in video games and novels suggests to me how reluctant it is to commit to a new Alien movie project. Ridley Scott may still be working on Prometheus 2, but that doesn't mean that Fox couldn't support the production of a new Alien movie in the meantime. Furthermore, even though Fox is willing to label certain non-movie Alien projects as franchise canon, it's questionable as to whether such classifications will be maintained over time. For example, the Colonial Marines game was hyped as being "canon", but I suspect that the game's poor sales and critical drubbing has since caused Fox to retract that claim.

Lisa Winston takes a look at all the Rays Arizona Fall League players, focusing on Rhyne Hughes: It's hard to imagine what more the 25-year-old could have done in Arizona to win a coveted spot on the Rays' 40-man roster next spring. However, given the glut of young talent on the Rays and the lack of free agents opening spots, only three players -- all pitchers -- ended up being added to the 40-man squad and Hughes was not among them. So perhaps the fact that Hughes flirted with .400 against some of the best young arms in the Minors will result in his name being called in the Rule 5 Draft on Dec. 11. If not, it has certainly improved his own standing in his organization.
Mike Wlodarczyk writes his final AFL blog entry (the part about Chris Mason starting fires is funny on several levels): I personally feel like I've gotten a lot out of this short season while continuing my development as a reliever. Even though I struggled over my final three appearances, I feel that the strides I made early in the season considerably outweigh my recent struggles. Numbers don't always tell the whole story; and there is always room for improvement as I've learned from past mistakes.
Tyler Hissey had a nice interview with Jonah Keri, mostly about the Rays future: JK: Again, I think it will come down to value. If teams are willing to shell out more for Sonnanstine, he could be dealt. If Jackson can fetch more, he might go. I think Jackson would work well in a bullpen role too, so that could be another option. I'd like to see the Rays see if they could get a true impact bat for Scott Kazmir. But it's rare that we see that kind of blockbuster deal. Then again, the Delmon Young deal was a shocker when it happened.
The Rays, via The Heater, announced their (somewhat pricey, and what's a berm?) Spring Training schedule: The Rays also announced pricing options for the 16 home games at the newly renovated Charlotte Sports Park. Individual ticket prices will range from $9 to $23. Here's the breakdown for single-game tickets: field box, $23; baseline box, $18; field reserve, $18; baseline reserve, $16; berm, $9. Tickets go on sale Jan. 8.
And finally, Selgy at RaysBB provides an extremely detailed look at a possible Tampa location for the Rays (scroll down a little): Not sure if this belongs here or not, but while looking over a few pieces of land throughout the bay area I have determined Tampa will be the best place to build a new stadium and I will include reasons to support my reasoning. For those of you who say that they would stop going to games if the Rays were to move out of St. Pete, this bulletin isn't intended on challenging you on that issue, just why I feel they will eventually end up in Tampa.


My brother Ken is a Pastor in Taylor Michigan and has a strategy for nudging people toward Christ. I like it. It's what I want for my life, our family and for our church family.
We praise God for early progress in the support raising process to join the resident missionary staff at Camp Barakel. We're at 10.5%.
We're excited to share some big news with you about our family. In mid April the Board of Camp Barakel, located in the northern lower peninsula of Michigan, met and approved us as missionary appointees to join the full time staff of Camp Barakel.
We've been praying for God's leading for some time about whether the Lord would have us join the full-time resident missionary staff of Camp Barakel. God has opened many doors and has given us the opportunity and clear direction. Our hope is that we will be fully supported and ready to move to Camp Barakel by March 1, 2017.
I hear birds outside the window. Sometimes I wish I could look out from my desk and see the sky. The study I work from has windows made of colored glass. They look nice, but block the view. Thanks to their chirping, the birds bring the sky inside.
Birds and birdsong. Two of God's many blessings. It reminds me of Psalm 40:5.
More than can be told are the blessings God gives. Like song birds that bring the sky inside.
Beginning tomorrow I will be hosting a new podcast called A Minute With The Word. I hope to have a new episode available each Tuesday.
In the first episode of A Minute With The Word we'll be reminded that those who have Christ have the answer to the worlds problems. Our hope for now and eternity is in Christ and it is Him we are to proclaim.
Check back tomorrow and pass the word for A Minute With The Word podcast.
