9/10 Graveyard Shifts
So much for me getting a good night's sleep.
Now, you're not gonna believe it, but The Innkeepers is about two innkeepers working at an old hotel on the weekend before it's set to be demolished. Now, there's two things worth noting about this hotel: business is non-existent except for the three guests staying there, and word on the street is that it's haunted. "Haunted by what?" you ask, as you cower under your afghan. Well by the ghost of Madeline O'Malley of course, the gal who hung herself on the third floor after her fiancee stood her up at the altar. And what do these painfully bored innkeepers do? Why, break out the ghost huntin' gear, of course! So what starts out as two days of fun and games soon takes a turn for the terrifying as they start poking around and waking up restless spirits.
Talk about your all-time shitty weekends.
So the first and last movie I saw by writer/director Ti West was The House of the Devil. Much like The Innkeepers, that didn't sound like much from the description either. Girl takes a babysitting gig at a creepy mansion, girl sticks around despite her better judgment, and before you know it, girl has to stop a Satanic cult from going all Rosemary's Baby on her. It's a been-there, done-that premise for anyone who's even remotely familiar with the genre, and the same goes for small-time Ghostbusters getting curious in a haunted mansion. Usually one of the worst jump-off points for any horror movie, but nevertheless, it feels new.
The best thing about Ti West is that he knows what works for horror fans and he knows what most certainly doesn't. The last thing we need is more cheap scares and loud noises, stupid characters deserve their stupid deaths, and, let's not kid ourselves, torture porn is on the outs. What does work for horror fans is some cold, hard suspense and some characters who are at least smart enough so that we're not screaming at them from the couch. As you might have already guessed, that's what Ti West gives us, and he gives it to us in spades.
As for the scares, the Ti West breakdown is as such:
Step 1: Ever so gradually and ever so quietly build up to that moment where the audience knows something's gonna happen. Step 2: Hold the shot on whatever it is that's gonna scare the tar out of these poor souls. And, Step 3: Drag out the suspense by royally delaying the scare so that it feels like an effing eternity for anyone and everyone who's watching. Then, when the audience is on the verge of breaking their jaws from clenching, release the scares to full effect.
As far as film making goes, this is a goddamn torture tactic. Remember in Elf when Buddy keeps winding the Jack-in-the-Boxes and keeps getting poop scared out of him every time one jumps out? Weird analogy, I know, but that's exactly what this is like, only not so holly jolly. Although, like I said, the scares aren't cheap. Each time it happens, there's always this one little second before the alarms start going off and characters start soiling themselves. It's that one little second that makes all the difference because it's just enough time to truly take in how terrifying the thing you're seeing actually is. It's the same tactic they used in The Ring when they showed that chick in the closet for the first time, and holy hell, is it jaw-on-the-floor effective.
It's also pretty light on the gore, but a little gore goes a long way. Write that one down, kids.
But the weird thing about it is that there's very little plot here. Most of the story revolves around minor encounters with the beyond and a whole lot of dicking around between our leads at the front desk. Nothing of real otherworldly significance actually happens until the last 20 or 30 minutes, and the reason I didn't care is because it was fun watching them dick around.
Now, these are characters that very well could have been caricatures, the kind of folk who don't have the common sense to stay the eff out of a basement when a medium who just spoke to a dead chick tells you to stay the eff out of a basement. What saves them from that awful, awful fate is that their personalities and curiosities are believable. Since there's nothing downright insane that happens in the first two Acts, it's easy to forgive their faults in the ways of self-preservation. I mean, they're into ghost hunting, they work at a supposedly haunted hotel, so why wouldn't they dig deeper when Madeline O'Malley starts reaching out? Sure, I'd probably peace out on the first night and come back the next morning with a wrecking ball, but I'm not them, and for once, I actually get why they go to the lengths they do. They're not idiots, they're just curious to a fault.
They're really funny, too, which was a nice surprise. Most of the scares in the first half of the movie are actually made up of them scaring each other either intentionally or otherwise, and each time time it goes off without a hitch, it just makes you like them more. We've all been scared by our friends the way these two friends scare each other. Very interesting blend of horror and humor, even for what we're used to getting from horror comedies. Solid performances from Sara Paxton and Pat Healy, too.
And nice to see Kelly McGillis in a movie again. Where the heck's she been?
For a genre that tends to be crippled and written off because each new movie is just like the last one, only worse, it's hard not to admire all the tricks you can teach an old dog with the right person behind the wheel. The Innkeepers ain't scoring too high in the originality department, but it's amazing how little that actually matters. Since the scares aren't cheap, since the characters aren't stupid, and since Ti West has flat-out mastered the art of tension-building, I was looking a hot mess during this thing. Seriously, I had to force myself to multitask on Facebook just to distract me from having to suffer the full force of how scary this was. This, boys and girls, is why you don't watch horror movies by yourself. I thought I'd already learned that lesson with The Orphanage, but since I'm an idiot, I did it anyway.
Totally worth the four hours of sleep I got.

Okay…from your review I feel I need to check this out but I didn't think much of the trailer.
Screw the trailer, trust the review. I'm tellin' you, man, it's awesome and it's scared the tar out of me.
Finally got around to seeing this Aidan and have to say I thought it was rubbish. This is the first Ti West movie I've seen and may well be the last. The Innkeepers had very little to interest me plot wise, and felt like a cheap Shining knock-off. Some poor acting, cliche after cliche, artificial jumps (just pointless after the first one) and an ending that felt unfulfilling. For a film with such a lightweight plot it needed characters to make me care but it didn't have them.
Most people describe West as a "slow-burn" kind of guy, and I have to say, The Innkeepers is the first movie that fits that description and does the slow-burn thing well. I loved it.
Same here, man.
And I know the whole "found footage" thing needs to die already, but are you as amped for V/H/S as I am?
I actually saw it at IFFBoston this year! (SHAMELESS PLUG: http://www.goseetalk.com/iffboston-review-vhs/) West, I hate to say, produced one of my least favorite of the segments, though the slasher-in-the-woods one is fucking horrendous.
Still worth seeing for Bruckner, Swanberg, and Radio Silence, though! It's also just a good instructional on how to do found footage well and how to do it terribly wrong.
You bastard…
Well that's semi-good to hear as I'll totally be seeing it. Good review, man.

A first time reader of your blog – was enjoying it till I reached the Innkeepers review. 9/10? I found the movie really tedious and difficult to sit through. Gave up mid way through.
Haha. Well I'm glad you enjoyed it at least for a short time. People seem to be a tad divided over this movie, but what can I say, it scared the poop out of me. Did such a great job of drawing out scares, making them unexpected, and not making them cheap. Thought the two lead characters were pretty fantastic and funny, too. Idk, probably not preaching to the choir, but it worked like gangbusters for me.
Hope you enjoy the rest of the blog outside of this little hiccup!
Great to see someone take criticism in a positive vein :-). Yes, I have been visiting it for updates and looking up archives for other movies we may have both seen. cheers.
Right on! I am to please.
It was shit, one of the worse horror films ever, absolute no story line or very poor, boring in fact that boring I fell asleep, the only thing good was the laptop scene at beginning, annoying actors especially that silly girl who had all the horror characteristics of a snail. At no point did she convince me she was acting well laughable acting, joke CGI GHOSTS!!! and a ending that was not really explained. I'm a big horror fan and when u compare it to films like paranormal activity u realise just how pants this film was lol
Oh, man. Sorry to hear you didn't like it. But idk, I'd still take this over Paranormal Activity (or any of its 20 sequels) every time. Good on ya' for giving a try though, can't win 'em all.
Well I have not had a film scare me like paranormal activity in ages, well 4th kind is probably the most scary film so far for me anyway,solid storyline, jumps and scares that pull u in from start to finish and the build up in paranormal activity and 4th kind are the best I have seen, but that's just my opinion as some will love inn keepers and some will dislike, I was more disappointed as I was really looking forward to watching it having saved it on my sky plus as a one to watch for later type film (as we do lol) but never mind. And no worries Aiden pal, glad to see plenty of people like me who are horror fans 😉
Haha. Well if it's any consolation, I haven't had too much luck finding other folks who liked this anywhere near as much as I did. And if it's jump-out-of-your-seat scares that you're, this certainly isn't the place to go.
HOWEVER, have you had the fortune of seeing The Descent or The Orphanage yet? If not, they are right up your alley, man.


I am reminded of Nemesis the Warlock, in particular Nemesis' spaceship Blitzspear. Of course, 40K borrows more than a little from Nemesis, so I should not be surprised that there would be connections between them and Rammellzee.
Yeah, I can see The Blizspear as a letter-racer, it's in the angles and arrowheads. Although figurative, we could also see it, and Nemesis himself as a form of Panzerism of a devil from monastical marginalia or illuminated manuscript, the process freeing him from his role as agent of evil, and transforming him into the hero against a corrupt humanity. A Pat Mills and Kevin O'Neill comic book adaptation of Rammellzee's world would be a wonder to behold.
Ever thought that Torquemada's helmet looks like a schematic of Nemesis face?
Oh yes, it's points and triangles all the way. I'm sure the visual similarity between Nemesis and his, um, nemesis was quite deliberate.
I need to read this again sober - but damn - this is everything I love about the RPG online community.
Ha. Thank you Gus. I think. Not sure being sober will help, but give it a go by all means! Putting this on in the background while reading might help.
Thanks so much for another eye-opening post. I enjoyed it from soup to nuts.
I'm glad you mentioned Sun-Ra, because I think there is a powerful spiritual/aesthetic affinity between him and Rammellzee.
Another interesting cross-over came into my mind when I read your sentence "The substrate - the surface - upon which Ikonoklast Panzerism takes place - be it the A-train or a tenement block is an alien artefact, designed and created outside the social sphere of those who inherit the space." That cross over is Brother from Another Planet, the 1984 film by John Sayles. This is another work of art that envisages Afro-American liberation as an intergalactic subversion fought out on the streets of NYC.
Never seen Brother From Another Planet, sounds like a cross between The Man Who Fell to Earth and The Warriors will have to hunt it down.
I hope you can catch Brother from Another Planet sometime. It is an oddly beautiful film. But -- like Sun Ra -- it seems to offer more optimism than Rammellzee.
One more post-script. You mentioned Genesis P-Orridge... I once spent an interminable ride with Genesis in a Sabbath elevator in an old apartment building in NYC. It was less exciting than it sounds.
It's not a word I like to trot out much, but I would characterize your blog as brilliant. I first found you when nostalgia sent me searching for confirmation that the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay adventure "The Hanging Gardens of Bab-Elonn" had ever existed at all.
My search kicked up your blog on Google; how fortunate and happy I was to discover not just a thoughtful reminescence of a seemingly racially problematic adventure, but a brilliant—there's that word once again—approach to the adventure, one that tied it to Sun Ra, afrofuturism more generally, and the wider cosmos of cultural influences on a little games company from Bolingbroke Road.
Since then, your blog has exploded my memories and my understanding of a great deal of the history of my dorky youth, and I could not be more grateful. This sort of memetic archaeology not only liberates my recollections of a vital and volatile time in my youth, but recontextualizes that time in a way that is provocative and useful.
Thank you. The work that you do is meaningful, and it matters (to one middle-aged geek at least), and you should know that.
Rather humbled by the high praise, but I'm glad you found meaning and utility in the writing. Thank you for taking the time to respond, it's good to know that something connects.
"Mimetic archeology" is a nice phrase and an interesting concept. I'd not really thought about framing these kind of critical writings before, but that does go some way towards describing part of it.
I can't believe I'm unfamiliar with Rammellzee before reading this post. As both a graphic designer and a long-time fan of underground hip hop, I figured I would have been familiar with him. Creator of the wyldestyle look eh? That's ... wild.
My biggest takeaway in gaming terms is how Slaanesh this all is. In recent conversations with my gaming buddies I've been talking about how I feel like Slaanesh can be so much more than just sexual depravities and transgenderism (though that should still definitely be a part) but about artists infused with chaos and using visual and aural extremes in warfare. I know Slaanesh has noise marines, but the modern ones don't do anything for me compared to the oldhammer heavy metal glam rock ones. But from a musical standpoint I've long been a fan of hip hop and electronic music rather than the heavy metal influences of the old Games Workshop crew.
Rammellzee though is sending my brain buzzing with all kinds of idea seedlings for modeling projects.
Hi Casey. Glad to have brought Rammellzee to your attention.
There's a lot of fertile ground to be explored by mixing contexts, everything from Rammellzees Garbage Gods as warp entities to sci-fantasy warfare being an extension of Iconoclast Panzerism, to a general junk-tech kit-bashed aesthetic. Slannesh is somewhat reminiscent of Vain the Insane, much of 40k imagery has gone beyond camp in its pseudo-religous iconography over the years, it would certainly be refreshing to see a more urban, hip-hop approach.
There's a massive retrospective of . Rammellzees work coming up at the Red Bull Arts New York If you're in the area, might be well worth dropping by and having a look. Unfortunately jumping on a plane is out of the question, but I'm hoping they'll put out an exhibition catalogue or something, a coherent monograph is long overdue.
I'm going to have to come back and read this one again at some point. Possibly after doing a bunch more background research if I can manage it. I had heard of Rammellzee and Son-Ra before, but never really knew much of anything beyond their names. Definitely going to have to dig more into both of them.
Another connection to 40K: the power of Chaos glyphs, sigils, and symbols. Writing that can literally change the universe, that can be weaponized, that can harm or kill the writer if they're not careful with it. Merely to look upon some of those symbols can leave someone more open to possession or other influences of Chaos. Skillfully marked on the surfaces of some place of Imperial worship, they could subvert the literal psychic power generated by that worship from Imperial to Chaotic purposes. Specifically, relating to the section about the graffiti artist's view of the urban environment, and the addition of graffiti being used to reclaim structures that are meant to impose external authority. I'm sure there's more there, but that's just off the top of my head, more or less.
It's an absolute killer that there has been no published monograph on Ramms work, and while I do appreciate his work and his universe being obscure makes the effort of getting into it more rewarding, there is more than enough solid material. I think his old website at Archive.org is probably the best (only?) functioning warp gate to the theory side. Lots of videos on Youtube for the performances, and interviews. SUN RA - Space is the Place is probably the best intro to Sun Ras Afrofuturism, Sun Ra Speaks lectures at Berkeley U. his musical output is both enormous and varied.
Without going too far into the realms of high-weirdness, there is an occult movement that arose in the 1970/80s known as Chaos Magic coming out of the work of Austin Osman Spare and Aliester Crowley, which influenced a lot of artists like Genesis P.Orridge, Fields of the Nephilim, comic book writer Grant Morrison. Pretty much all of the 40k magick thought-forms giving shape to warp-entities and sigil magic echoes it's formulea.
I was actually thinking more research into typography and semiotics and such. My background is in math, so I only have a vague grasp of a lot of the terminology and concepts here.
I am somewhat familiar with the Chaos Magic tradition. Partly via Grant Morrison (and Warren Ellis talking about Grant Morrison), but also through a couple of folks I used to know back on LiveJournal who were pretty into it.
Thanks for the links! Definitely gonna dig into some of those when I get some time here.
Yeah. I should probably work a little harder on dropping the jargon. Erik Spiekermann's Stop Stealing Sheep is a great first primer on Typography (sample here). Although for Ramm, a history of writing would do.
I wish I could point to a good primer on semiotics, but I don't know of one although Daniel Chandlers Semiotics: The Basics looks promising. Certainly Barthes Image-Music-Text and Camera Obscura, as collections of semiotics based essays are good, the main theorists (saussure, foucault, derrida) can be a bit dense. John Bergers Ways of Seeing series and book is also a good grounding on visual culture.
I think I could work through the jargon if I had a better grounding in the concepts. Jargon develops around dense subject matter like this because precision in terminology becomes more and more important, and general terms no longer suffice, not to obscure things for the outsider. Thanks for giving me some sources to look into!

This reflection is part of the context of the analysis of phenomena related to vulnerable people, particulary the social exclusion of children with intellectual disabilities. It aims to analyze the determinants of this phenomenon. From a theoretical point of view, the study is based on Erving Goffman's stigma theory. Methodologically, it is based on a field survey consisting of semi-structured interviews with 140 people, before proceeding to their analysis. The tested sample was constructed using the nonprobability method and by reasoned choice. The data collected were analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. In terms of results, it appears that social exclusion (isolation, neglect, discrimination) of children with intellectual disabilities finds its meaning in the negative perceptions that members of the living environment have of these children. A triple governmental action (Awareness of the population, Creation of conditions favoring the schooling of children with intellectual disabilities, capacity bulding of trainers (social workers, teachers)) would help to improve the situation of children with intellectual disabilities.

Expert Takes: Biggest Question Facing Vikings in 2019
Craig Peters
MOBILE, Ala. — In addition to opportunities for evaluating top prospects, the Senior Bowl practices offer moments to check in with experts and get their takes on the current state of the Vikings.
Vikings.com asked experts what they think the biggest question facing the Vikings in 2019 is and to complete the thought, 2019 will be better for the Vikings because …
Here's what they said.
What is the biggest question facing the Vikings in 2019?
Lindsay Jones, The Athletic | @bylindsayhjones
"I think it's going to be, 'What's this offense going to look like, and can they take that next level to win those big games?' How can Coach [Kevin] Stefanski and Gary Kubiak put Kirk Cousins in those best situations to thrive in those Monday Night games and Sunday Night games in the fourth quarter, those moments where it hasn't quite clicked?' Those are the big knocks on Kirk Cousins right now, so that's the big question, to take that next level because I think the defense is still going to be really good. They have a lot of key players returning that are still under contract, so it's going to be, 'What is that next step that the offense can take?' "
Pete Prisco, CBSSports/@CBSSportsHQ | @PriscoCBS
"Probably their offensive line. Fix it. You look at the final four teams, the Saints had a really good offensive line, the Chiefs have a good offensive line, the Patriots have a good offensive line because [coach] Dante Scarnecchia is one of the best in football and has done a great job, and the Rams have one of the best offensive lines in the league. You better be good up front. If you're good up front, you're going to be able to do a lot of good things. You can run the ball and do stuff off that."
Tom Pelissero, NFL Network | @TomPelissero
"I think, as everybody who tweets at me incessantly would say, it's the offensive line, and how you patch that together. That was a significant issue last year. It hindered them in a lot of different ways on offense. Also, of course, what does Kevin Stefanski and his offense look like? I know he was a strong supporter. He wanted Gary Kubiak and Klint Kubiak, who he is tight with from [Klint Kubiak's] first stint there. He wanted those guys to come in.
"It gives them a little more experience, more of a sounding board," Pelissero added. "Those are probably the two biggest things. The defense certainly did not play their best in Week 17 and didn't start the strongest either, but through the middle of the season, you saw how good those guys can be. Really, it comes down to can you protect Kirk Cousins and get him to another level. Mike Zimmer, of course, talks about balanced [offense] and running the football, but all of that meshes together. They've just got to be more productive on that side of the ball."
2019 will be better for the Vikings because…
Jones: "I think offensive consistency. I think bringing Stefanski back was really important to keep some continuity there. You didn't want to blow up your entire offense. It will be interesting to see his philosophy. He's been there for so long, but now it can be his offense with some assistance from Gary Kubiak. I think it will have that new voice, but a consistent voice."
Prisco: "They ran the ball, and Zimmer got what he wanted. I know Mike Zimmer, man. He wants to run the ball and play great defense. If you're watching, Zim', I know who you are and what you want to do."
Pelissero: "I'm not getting into predictions, so let's not put the headline, 'Tom says they're going to be better.' I would say, that you would think with it being the second year with Kirk Cousins as the quarterback, not a new system, but a new play caller, there's going to be a transition there, but I'll also tell you Kevin Stefanski, players really like him. I remember Dalvin Cook telling me he thinks like a player. He's been in just about every room, coaching different position groups during his time with the team, so what's his offense going to look like? Can you get that to the next level? Cousins having another offseason to work with those receivers, develop a rhythm and everything else in the NFL passing game is a big part of it."


As you may have guessed from the title of this post, I'm indeed back to SDs again.
I gave MSDs a try and it didn't work. So what went wrong?
I think in the end slim minis are too young looking for my characters. Especially the boys. I couldn't find a sculpt for Tahir, because I have so many requirements for him, but I knew I could easily find an SD sculpt for him, and I also knew it would be tough finding sculpts for all the other guys.
Both Ziya and Violet went to good homes in Denmark.
I ended up buying an Iplehouse nYID Nancy instead, also from a local Danish collector.
She will be Rose Keats from the Larika story. I'm currently waiting for a Natrume wig for her and I need to get her some blue eyes. Her previous owner Kia offered to paint her for me, which I gladly accepted because I adore Kia's style.
I have been reinventing Rose's backstory and it's gotten more interesting in my opinion.
I also finally figured out a good chunk of the background story for the Larika country.
I'm gonna share it here, in case anyone is interested in reading it.
So Larika is a country in a low fantasy universe, where the magic is divided by poles underneath the earth. The closer a country is to a pole, the stronger the magic is in that country.
Larika is not particularly close to any of the three poles, so the magic is not that strong, and the only native magical beings from Larika was the Isanu people, who have now fled the country, due to the human invasion.
The faes arrived much later to the country when they had to leave behind their home, due to war and left-over magic that had poisoned the island. There are four different fae species. The Terra faes, the Ignis faes, the Aqua faes and the ventus faes.
The ventus faes took off to the east and are still living there, while the remaining three fae species ended up in Larika.
From the beginning, it was a tense situation, because the faes entered the country and made a home for themselves without ever consulting the humans. The humans in Larika fear magic, and they didn't feel safe around the faes, and a lot of rules and laws were passed to keep the humans separate from the faes.
The Aqua faes resided in the north of Larika. They preferred the snow and cold, and they rarely ever meddled with humans, so the humans left them alone. However, the Terra faes and the Ignis faes were forced to live in camps with restricted food and supplies, which meant a lot of faes tried to escape. Some made it, others were caught and killed, or ended up in the fae prisons.
The Ignis faes tried to rebel against the humans, which led to the eradication of almost all Ignis faes. Even the ones who hadn't rebelled.
Around 20 years prior to the plot the humans tried to make a genocide on the Aqua faes. However, a small portion of the Aqua faes survived and moved even further into the north, into the mountains, where they have resided since then.
That's a great story! I wonder if humans and faes will be able to live in peace one day. That's true, MSDs look like kids so if your character is adult you need SD. Rose is gorgeous! Even those eyes suit her.
Yeah, MSDs are not very suitable for adult characters sadly.
Wonderful story and one can wonder what the small remaining faes have up their sleeves. I just hope it can be peaceful. Rose is so beautiful and I like the personality she has.

National Football League Cheerleading
On the surface, the life of an NFL cheerleader looks extremely fun and glamorous. Millions of girls and young women have dreamed of joining famous squads like the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, the Cincinnati Ben-Gals, or New Orleans Saintsations and shaking their pom-poms while wearing tiny but tasteful outfits. Of course, they all hope to perform choreographed dance routines on the fields of NFL stadiums — all in front of thousands of adoring fans who appreciate their athleticism and traditional femininity. (Or something like that, right?)
Cheerleaders get to appear on national TV, be a part of one of the most popular sports and entertainment operations in the world, model for calendars and posters, and support charities. They get to be local celebrities! However, the actual realities of being an NFL cheerleader are problematic, to say the least. Here's the ugly truth behind the big smiles and snazzy dance routines of NFL cheerleaders.
It's an incredibly hard job to get
This should come as no surprise, but professional sports are incredibly competitive. Who wouldn't want the glory, fame, and paycheck that comes from being a star athlete? According to NFL rules, each team can put together a 53-man roster. With 32 teams, that means there can be just under 1,700 NFL players, chosen from a field of thousands of qualified candidates, at any one time.
The talent pool for NFL cheerleaders is just as vast and getting selected is just as competitive. As of 2018, Sportster reports that only 26 of the league's 32 teams have cheerleading squads, and for those precious few positions, hundreds of women in each team's metropolitan area audition. "The [New England] Patriots get more than 500 women who try out for the team every year, and they're all good," former Patriots cheerleader Patty Darrah told Global News. She noted, "You have to walk in, shake hands with people and be able to have an educated conversation. With a major NFL team, they want the best of the best. Which means the best dancers but also the best representatives."
They get paid mostly in the form of adoration
Beginning in 2014, several NFL cheerleaders and cheerleading squads filed huge lawsuits against their teams (and the league) claiming illegal payment practices, such as "wage theft." According to Mother Jones, a suit filed by members of the Oakland Raiderettes claimed cheerleaders raked in just $125 a game — and that's on the high end. The Ben-Gals in Cincinnati were reportedly paid $90 per game, Tampa Bay Buccaneers cheerleaders earned $100, and Buffalo Jills were given a free game ticket and parking pass to home games, which they could sell. Worked out to an hourly wage, and when factoring in things like practice sessions, photo shoots, and personal appearances, many cheerleaders made below minimum wage, which is highly illegal. For the sake of comparison, the average per-game salary of an NFL player around that time: $187,750.
So how did teams such as the Oakland Raiders and Buffalo Bills (subjects of another suit) skirt the law? They reportedly classified cheerleaders as "independent contractors" rather than team employees. After the Raiderettes' suit was filed, the Oakland Raiders upped cheerleader pay to a barely-legal nine bucks an hour. It took a decree from California governor Jerry Brown to ensure that professional sports cheerleaders in that state were guaranteed a minimum wage, along with workers' compensation and other basic benefits.
A uniformly unfair policy
What if your place of employment had a dress code? That's fair — lots of places aim for a certain image or level of professionalism. Now, what if that dress code required you to wear a very specific outfit to work each day, but the only place you could get those clothes is from your employer and they charged you six weeks of pay for it … and if you didn't buy it and wear it, you'd get fired? It sounds like a scam, but that's exactly what NFL cheerleaders have to deal with.
While the members of many squads make around $100 or so per game, uniforms reportedly not provided. Instead, they must be purchased by cheerleaders from their teams. According to NBC News, those skimpy uniforms would cost a Buffalo Bills cheerleader about $650, and if a uniform suffers even the tiniest bit of damage in the line of duty, the luckless lady may have to pony up for a new one. ESPN reported that a Raiderette had to cough up the cash for a replacement uniform after getting an ink stain on her top at an autograph-signing event.
Weight for it
Regardless of sport or level (high school, college, pro) cheerleaders are almost universally expected to rock a certain "look." They're perky, they're athletic, and their hair isn't too long or too short. But let's be honest: Looking "like a cheerleader" means being conventionally attractive, and, for the conventional and traditional NFL, that basically means being thin.
According to a former NFL cheerleader's anonymous account of her job for Cosmopolitan, svelte figures are enforced by making sure women meet "physical fitness standards," aka weigh-ins a few days before games. "The first time I weighed in at 127 pounds, the choreographer assured me that it was just gas," this ex-cheerleader said. "But when the scale still showed 127 pounds on game day, I was pulled from the performance, even though my family had driven eight hours from my hometown to see me cheer."
Not wanting to be benched for another game (or permanently) the cheerleader said she took a week off from her regular job to focus on dropping weight for the part-time cheerleading gig. She "hired two personal trainers, did three hours of cardio and 30 minutes of ab work per day, and ate nothing but canned tuna and almonds." When the next weigh-in went down, our protagonist had dropped nine pounds and "an entire bra cup size." Hooray?
There's something called a 'Jiggle Test'
While having one's weight checked — and judged — by one's employer is disgusting and demeaning, the realities of work were allegedly even worse for the Buffalo Jills, the Buffalo Bills' cheerleading battalion. According to the New York Post and "Alyssa U.," a Buffalo Jill from 2012 to 2013, the team's cheerleaders were forced to undergo a "physique evaluation."
"We had to stand in front of our coach in our uniform in rows of five as she stood before us with a clipboard," Alyssa said, recalling how their bodies were scrutinized like Lorenzo Lamas with a laser pointer. "We turned around, had her look at our backside, and then turn forward again and she had us do jumping jacks in front of her to see what parts of our bodies were jiggling." The next day, each Jill supposedly received an emailed report of their problem areas, if any. The Jills came up with a name for this dehumanizing and mandatory workplace team-building exercise: "The Jiggle Test."
Their bodies, their choices (J.K., not really)
So yeah, cheerleaders must be thin and bouncy, but those are just a couple of the many strict rules NFL cheerleaders have reportedly had to follow. According to an anonymous cheerleader who revealed all to Cosmopolitan, nearly every aspect of one's appearance was subject to some sort of mandate. "We were required to have nails manicured with light or clear polish," the cheerleader claimed. "We could be pulled from cheering at a game if we showed up with curls when management had mandated straight hair."
Cheerleaders could allegedly get benched if their skin was too pale, too tan, or sunburned. Officials could also supposedly tell cheerleaders to change, say, their hair color, and the cheerleader had to pay for it herself. "I was told to go to a preordained salon and pay out of my own pocket to have my hair dyed a different color," the insider told Cosmo. Why? Management allegedly thought her natural color made her look "too ethnic."
The Buffalo Jills were also allegedly told how to care for their intimate areas. According to Deadspin, the Jills handbook included a section called "General hygiene & lady body maintenance." It reportedly offered tips on what kind of tampons to buy, and how often they must be changed so as to avoid "bacteria or fungus build up."
Sitting on the dock of the pay…
Getting benched for being arbitrarily overweight is one thing, and getting paid barely above minimum wage to help a multi-billion dollar sports franchise make money is another. Some NFL cheerleaders have even had their already paltry pay docked for minor indiscretions. Yep, cheerleaders can apparently earn demerits like new military recruits, prisoners, or Hogwarts students.
In a 2014 lawsuit against the Oakland Raiders on behalf of 40 fellow Oakland Raiderette cheerleaders, "Lacey T." reported that if someone brought the wrong pom-poms to a practice session, at least $10 was docked from their paycheck, reported SF Gate. Among the other offenses that cost cheerleaders real money were bringing the incorrect yoga mat to practice, failing to get their bio into the publicity department in a timely fashion, and not sufficiently cleaning or shining those game day boots. While ten bucks out of a paycheck is certainly annoying, it's also highway robbery considering Raiderettes were only paid $125 a game at the time of the legal action.
Unladylike behavior
Not only do cheerleaders have to keep their appearance in perfect, company-mandated condition, but some are required to conduct their lives off the field according to some severe moral standards that seem like they could just as easily be applied to a 19th century frontier schoolmarm. Among the behaviors the Buffalo Jills were told to exhibit (via Deadspin): Don't use slang, don't swear, "do not be overly opinionated about anything," don't flirt, don't dominate conversations, don't gossip, don't say "I" or "me" too much, avoid any and all sexual innuendo, and don't burp or sneeze without saying "excuse me." According to the Los Angeles Times, Oakland Raiderettes signed a contract promising they'd never wear curlers on their way to to the stadium or chew gum. (Oddly, the Raiderettes are one of the few teams that doesn't specifically ban its cheerleaders from dating the players.)
And while a large part of an NFL cheerleader's job involves dancing in revealing outfits, some teams don't want their cheerleaders doing anything risqué on social media. In 2018, a New Orleans Saintsations cheerleader named Bailey Davis was fired after she posted a privacy-locked photo on her Instagram account in a flattering one-piece (via The New York Times). New Orleans Saints officials said she violated a rule that barred cheerleaders from posting nude, semi-nude, or boudoir pics of themselves. Davis sued the team, which, by the way, also reportedly tells its cheer squad to not even eat in the same restaurants as its players.
Sell that calendar, girls!
In theory, the job of an NFL cheerleader is to use her pep and enthusiasm to inspire the players on her team to do a good job at sports and win, win, win. (Rah, rah, rah, sis-boom-bah!) But they're so much more than that, you guys. They're also team ambassadors and the photogenic faces of their organizations. This puts cheerleaders in the unique position of becoming team merchandise — by posing for cheesecake swimsuit calendars — and then having to sell that merch.
One team that's made calendars of its cheerleaders available for public consumption by hot and bothered football fans is the Baltimore Ravens. Mother Jones reported that the team required each member of its cheer squad to buy at least 100 copies of the calendar at a rate of $12 each. It was then up to the cheerleader to sell them all for $15 per copy. It's like the old "selling candy bars for the youth sports team" scam, except it's arguably sexist and exploits adult women. (The cheerleaders do get to keep the money they make, which almost makes up for the fact that they didn't get paid for the photoshoots that resulted in those calendars, right?)

Az 1950-es évek végén, 1960-as évek játszott először az élvonalban, majd 1978 és 1986 újra. 1986-tól két évig a másodosztályban szerepelt.

1980-ban és 1982-ben a Waterschei megnyerte a belga kupa küzdelmeit. Utóbbit követően egészen az elődöntőig jutott az 1982-83-as KEK-sorozatban, ahol a negyeddöntőben a PSG-t verte, az elődöntőben azonban az Aberdeen FC Skóciában 5-1-re győzve már az első mérkőzésen eldöntötte a továbbjutást.

1988-ban a Waterschei egyesült a Winterslaggal, így jött létre a jogutód KRC Genk.

I'm afraid that my rain was a bit more boring; I thought I was going to have to proctor a 3 hour state science test but was taken off the list at the last minute! Blissful hours of productive peace in my classroom at the end of the year!
Thankful you were spared the proctoring. Blissful hours are much better! Happy summer to you!
Beautiful words. Felt like I was right there in the coffee shop along with you and your new neighbors.
Thanks! I would have loved sitting with you there. Thinking of you as you celebrate a special young man today.


Integrated Assessment Models (iams) have helped us over the past decade to understand the interactions between the environment and the economy in the context of climate change. Although it has also long been recognized that adaptation is a powerful and necessary tool to combat the adverse effects of climate change, most iams have not explicitly included the option of adaptation in combating climate change. This paper adds to the iam and climate change literature by explicitly including adaptation in an iam, thereby making the trade-offs between adaptation and mitigation visible. Specifically, a theoretical framework is created and used to implement adaptation as a decision variable into the dice model. We use our new ad-dice model to derive the adaptation cost functions implicit in the dice model. In our set-up, adaptation and mitigation decisions are separable and ad-dice can mimic dice when adaptation is optimal. We find that our specification of the adaptation costs is robust with respect to the mitigation policy scenarios. Our numerical results show that adaptation is a powerful option to combat climate change, as it reduces most of the potential costs of climate change in earlier periods, while mitigation does so in later periods.

Galaxy Z Flip 3 Pokémon Edition Launching Soon
deepgautam
In South Korea, Samsung is releasing a fresh new limited-edition exclusive product, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 Pokémon edition. The phone itself isn't all that different; it's simply the same old Z Flip 3, but with a Pokémon-themed accessories and stickers.
Several customers were taken by surprise by the announcement, as they had been anticipating a successor to the Galaxy Z Flip 3 to be announced in the following weeks. According to reliable sources, Samsung has partnered with GameFreak to build this new mobile phone for the gaming community. Furthermore, there is no indication that this phone will be made accessible outside of South Korea at any point in time.
Even though people all around the globe are eagerly expecting the arrival of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4, the company is still concentrating on producing new and enhanced versions of the Galaxy Z Flip 3. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 had a great response from consumers, which is something to keep in mind. As a consequence, the firm has designed a limited-edition Pokémon variant.

What's Included In Galaxy Z Flip 3 Pokémon Edition
As a starting point, we have an original package design based on the Pokéball, which is sure to become very popular among collectors and fans of the series alike. Pikachu keychains, Pokémon travel case, and stickers are all included in this limited edition set of merchandise. The phone itself is a conventional black Galaxy Z Flip 3, but when it's protected by the special protective case that comes with it, it seems to be something else entirely.
The Pokémon edition variant will only be available in limited numbers, and Samsung has not said when or how much it will cost at this point. It will be available for purchase in South Korea, but Samsung has not yet announced whether or not it will be offered in other parts of Asia.
The new phone, which will be released later this month on April 25, will have a few accessories that are inspired by the Pokémon franchise. Although there is no sign that the phone has been modified in any way, the only thing that has changed is the addition of some new Pokémon-themed accessories to the package.

Pokémon Edition Price
While it is predictable that the price will not be much more than that of the standard Galaxy Z Flip 3, which now sells for $1,000 or more in the United States, it's also unlikely that it would be significantly cheaper. Because of the additional items in the package, this edition of the phone is likely to be considerably more costly than the standard version, if not more expensive than the regular version entirely.
Consumers in South Korea will have five days from now until the end of the month to express their interest in the Pokémon-themed phone, which will be available for purchase.

It feels like autumn is almost over and the cold of winter is approaching us faster than we would like. However, with the winter months come a few good things: open fireplaces, bright and frosty mornings, cuddling in woollen jumpers, and a desire to pamper yourself!
You may be embracing party season with hair, make up and some sparkling manicures, but having a massage can actually help you truly enjoy the winter with a wide range of benefits you may not have initially known about.
From improving your mood to increasing blood flow, the power of a massage should not be underestimated! Here, we'll count down our favourite benefits and why they are perfect in the run up to the festive season.
Although there's nothing quite like a brisk walk on a wintry morning, the cold weather seriously affects your blood flow. Lower temperatures actually make your blood vessels thinner which means less blood and oxygen is reaching your heart. This means that your blood pressure and heart rate could increase and, whilst this isn't particularly dangerous on its own, it could compound issues for people who suffer with circulatory problems anyway.
A massage can help a great deal in moving blood through the areas where it is becoming congested. In fact, massages will also help your lymphatic system flush out all the waste fluid, so your blood can run more freely, thereby reducing your blood pressure, helping you feel a bit more excited for those winter walks!
Cold weather and harsh winds can take huge amounts of moisture from your skin. Even if you wrap up in multiple layers, you may find yourself with dry skin as a result of both the lower humidity of winter, and the introduction of new materials to your skin (have you got your woolly jumpers out of the cupboard yet?).
Massages are known to soften the skin by promoting elasticity through the use of essential oils. The natural ingredients in some massage oils will soak into your skin leaving it feel hydrated, smooth, and winter-ready!
We all know what its like when the weather changes and the whole office suddenly contracts what feels like the plague. Combine illness with dark evenings and chilly air and you've got the recipe for a pretty miserable season. The last thing you want to resemble is Rudolph with a red and chapped nose.
Although massages can't take the place of some good old-fashioned medicine, they can help boost your immunity by giving your lymph flow a bit of help. As we mentioned before, the lymphatic system helps push blood around your body, but it also houses white blood cells which are there to fight off infection. A massage can keep all the elements moving so that, if you do catch that dreaded office plague, you can help fight it off with a bit of pampering.
Massages Will Make You Feel Better!
Winter can be a very stressful season. Christmas and the new year bring about a wide range of issues that can overtake the festive feeling sometimes. From family gatherings, to busy shopping trips, to school holidays, everyone feels the pressure at some point.
Although it could be tempting to jet off somewhere warm and leave all your troubles behind, you'd probably miss some of the special things that make cold winter enjoyable. So, if the stress is starting to get too much, why not take a little break to your local spa and enjoy a relaxing massage. Your therapist is likely to have beauty therapist insurance in place which will also give you peace of mind that you can enjoy a range of treatments this winter without worrying.
Not only a massage help relieve aching, tired muscles, but it will release serotonin and endorphins that will improve mood and give you a sense of wellbeing – at least until the in-laws show up!

With the summer well and truly behind us and the cooler autumn weather becoming a daily occurrence, it's time to think about winter. Now, we love the cosy nights in front of the fire and the excuse to enjoy some tasty warming food – but what we don't love is the effect the cold winter weather has on our skin.
Your winter beauty regime probably consists of desperately trying to stop your skin from getting relentlessly dry. From chapped lips to dry hands, the cold air can play havoc on your skin. Maybe it's time to take a closer look at some treatments that can promote a healthier and happier you over the next season.
Let's take a look at some of the best treatments to enjoy for winter.
Your body is your temple and if the bricks are starting to crumble away because of the cold weather, it's time to embrace a few treatments to help combat the effects. The main issue with winter weather is the huge change in temperature. Sometimes you can go from a toasty office to a freezing cold train platform and the difference in the warm and cold air causes your skin to turn flaky and sometimes very painful.
Not just that, but we often want to crank up the heat of our showers to give us that extra warmth in the morning, but this will actually strip away the moisture that you work so hard to keep in.
A back or chest facial works to cleanse and tone your skin, whilst also exfoliating. With a mixture of steam treatment and a mask, it is perfect for dehydrated skin that has been sapped of its moisture. Or, you could opt for a Monoi de Tahiti moisture wrap, which uses monoi oil to offer incredible moisturisation for the whole body. Monoi oil is a healthy mix of Tahitian gardenia petals and coconut oil – natural and great for the skin.
For people who want to opt for something deliciously luxurious, how about a chocolate body wrap? No, you can't eat it, but you can enjoy its moisturising effects. Not only will it keep the skin smooth and hydrated, it also helps to stimulate fat metabolism and evens skin tone.
You can wrap your body up in lots of layers, but your face is on the front line and it's hard to keep it safe from freezing temperatures. Runny noses can give way to scabby nostrils, and icy breezes can often lead to chapped and bleeding lips.
Even if you have gallons of lip balm, your cheeks, chin and forehead (including your t-zone) are all likely to feel the freeze set in. Even your regular beauty and skincare products may not be quite up to scratch with you increased needs, so it's probably time to let your beauty therapist use their professional knowledge to help you out.
A good quality facial will restore some of the skin's natural moisture, whilst also cleansing and exfoliating the various impurities that you are faced with on a daily basis. Also, opting for back, neck and shoulder massage to accompany your facial will help relieve stress so you can embrace the winter season!
If you're worried about trying out any new treatments, don't be! Your beauty therapist will be highly knowledgeable about not just the condition of your skin, but also the various ingredients that can make it happier throughout the winter. Also, they will have beauty insurance, so you can have full peace of mind when you're getting a treatment.
There are some steps you can take to help your skin deal with winter weather. Keeping yourself hydrated is very important so don't scrimp on water and make sure you drink up! This will help your body overall, but it will also encourage your skin to retain its own natural moisture.
Your diet also influences your winter vibes. If you opt for meals that contain anti-oxidant ingredients and vitamins, you can help fight off illness and promote a healthy body inside and out. Fish, nuts, fruit and healthy fats will bring out your skin's natural glow and moisture, giving you the glow you dream of.
As we mentioned earlier, your hot shower could be having a negative effect on your skin! Keeping showers and baths short and the water warm rather than very hot can help reduce the loss of moisture – and don't forget to moisturise head to toe afterwards.
Dark mornings and evenings, freezing winds and most probably a barrage of rainstorms – winters in the UK can leave a lot to be desired, however beautiful they may also be. Take the stress out of winter skincare so you can enjoy the positives of the season – your beauty therapist can help!

Writer calls out couple for having domestic helper wash their feet at Sembawang Hot Springs
Dr Petunia Lee, a writer with mommy blog singaporemotherhood.com, wrote about the incident saying that it appeared that the couple had delusions of royalty
Photo from petunialee.blogspot.com
Singapore — Sembawang Hot Springs, which reopened to much acclaim on Saturday (Jan 4), has already drawn criticism from one writer, who witnessed a couple having their feet washed by a domestic helper, characterizing the spectacle with the phrase "delusions of royalty."
Dr Petunia Lee, a writer with mommy blog singaporemotherhood.com, wrote on her personal blog about a recent visit to the The Sembawang Hot Springs, which starts with praise for NSParks for the recent renovation and improvements, and ends with the damning statement "Lovely Place But Ugly People."
What ultimately caused Dr Lee's ire was seeing a young woman washing the feet of her able-bodied employers.
She wrote, "I was at first gobsmacked to see a young lady washing 2 people's feet, in turn. Then, I was nauseated. She fetched water. She bent down and splashed water over her employers' feet and calves. Those people did not look handicapped. They probably have delusions of royalty. Actually, I think true modern royalty would have too much class to ask another human being to wash their feet in public. These domestic workers are citizens of a neighbouring country. Simply because we pay them does not give us the license to disrespect them to this extent."
Dr Lee added that these kinds of situations make her feel ashamed to be a Singaporean.
She wrote that while the hot springs are a mere 15-minute walk from her home, she's "not in a hurry to go back" as some of what she witnessed there was "nauseating."
In her blog post, Dr Lee mentioned a few of the other things that she found disturbing.
She pointed out that in one communal pool, people soaked their feet without washing them in soap first. For Dr Lee, this is a big no, as it could be a breeding ground for germs, writing, "If the temperature of the water was comfortable for feet, then it surely is comfortable for fungal growth. There is no way I will put my feet into that pool for fear of catching a fungal infection. Remember, there is no chlorine nor other disinfectant in that water."
In an even more appalling example, Dr Lee wrote about having cooked two eggs in the springs, which she ended up wasting. She had to throw the eggs away because an old man threw the pail of water where he had been soaking his feet into her pail of eggs.
She wrote, "It did not occur to him to throw his dirty water into the drain. He HAD to go back to the water source to throw his water."
Dr Lee even expressed doubts about the hygiene of the wooden pails at the hot springs, due to the porous nature of wood, which could be places where bacteria and fungal spores can hide. And while the pails still look good now while they are new, Dr Lee says that they'll likely grow mould before long. -/TISG

South Africa Leads UN 77 Developing Nations
A United Nations promotional poster for the Millennium Development Goals. The deadline for attaing the goals is 2015.
South Africa has become the leader of the "Group of 77," a coalition of developing countries that is part of the United Nations. One third of the U.N. countries are members of the G77, including Bosnia and Herzegovina and Somalia.
Luwellyn Landers is South Africa's Deputy Minister of International Relations and Cooperation. He spoke at a recent meeting of the group in New York.
"This year will prove to be a crucial year in which the various envisaged development processes would demand that we, as a group, remain even more steadfast in promoting the interests of developing countries."
Mr. Landers said the group will continue to try to lessen the power of some traditionally strong nations. These include the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council -- Britain, China, France, Russia, and the United States. They are sometimes called the "northern nations."
Mr. Landers said cooperation among the southern countries is very important to international cooperation and partnerships for development. He said that is especially true for efforts to gain balanced, sustainable development.
Mr. Landers also said it must be repeated that South-South Cooperation is not meant to serve in the place of the duties and responsibilities of the developed North. He said that several developing countries had become important engines of world growth. He said their development is having a considerable effect on the world economy.
Mr. Landers told the group that growth and economic development in southern countries has strengthened those countries and made them more powerful.

3 NHL FanDuel Values to Target on Friday 10/29/21
Chris Wassel — @ChrisWasselDFS Oct 29th, 2021
Spending lower in any daily fantasy lineup is a way to incorporate some diversity into your roster. In NHL DFS, there is typically more value in this strategy but also a good deal more risk. This is especially true on tonight's slate, where there are lots of lower-salaried plays. Plugging in these options will afford you more chances to play some studs, as well.
Friday night comes at us with six more games, and values are out there. Who are they? Let's get digging.
Nicolas Roy, Center, Vegas Golden Knights
FanDuel Salary: $3,400
The Vegas Golden Knights' center is a risky option on Friday night, but the salary savings Nicolas Roy offers is very enticing.
Vegas is home to an Anaheim Ducks team that just played on Thursday night. It also helps that Roy is likely going to be off the radar for most.
However, the center did play 17-plus minutes the other night in Dallas. Roy had an assist and a blocked shot in that one. The forward also set up four scoring chances and narrowly missed a couple himself.
Roy is a solid value target who can free up cap space to allow you to get to the stacks you want.
Boone Jenner, Wing, Columbus Blue Jackets
The numbers are nuts, but Boone Jenner is lowering the boom this October. He has four goals in the early going and 11 shots across the last four games. Jenner has played at least 20 minutes in three games.
The Columbus Blue Jackets' forward is generating more than three scoring chances per contest and has a good matchup against the New York Rangers. Jenner is one of the Jackets' forwards who can drive the New York defense crazy on Friday night.
Columbus is scoring on the power play at a rate of 26.3% (10th in the NHL). The New York penalty kill is just 22nd at 78.3%. Jenner is in a good spot here.
Gustav Forsling, Defensemen, Florida Panthers
This value option is a touch dicier because he'll probably attract a good amount of attention after his three-assist outburst against the Boston Bruins on Thursday night.
Thankfully, Florida has some of the best depth in the league, so Gustav Forsling does not have to play 25-plus minutes a night. He is utilized in good positions, and this is a friendly matchup against the Detroit Red Wings on Friday night. Forsling's floor includes nine shots on goal over his last three games as well as seven scoring chances created.
Forslund's ability to move the puck quickly from his defensive position is a significant reason for Florida's success. Even on the back end of a back-to-back, the Florida defenseman can provide value once more.
