NYK Bulk & Projects Carriers and Pinnacle Renewable Energy Sign Deal
The New Pinnacle
With representatives from both the governments of British Columbia and Japan watching, the CEO of Pinnacle Renewable Energy, Rob McCurdy, and the President of NYK Bulk & Projects Carriers (NYKBP), Moyoyuk Nose, entered into a 15-year agreement to export wood pellets to key ports in Japan.
"This is a very exciting moment," said the Honourable Bruce Ralston, Minister of Jobs, Trade and Technology. "Not only will the contract being signed today will provide clean energy fuel for Japan, but it also signals a strong future for B.C.'s forest products and the role Pinnacle Renewable Energy will play in providing sustainable energy solutions for the world."
The agreement between Pinnacle Renewable Energy – Canada's largest wood pellet producer and the world's third largest – and NYKBP – Japan's national flag carrier, has been developed over the period of a year, including the launch of a new vessel, the New Pinnacle. The New Pinnacle, a Handy-class vessel that will carry roughly 33,000 tonnes of wood pellets on an average of six sailings per year beginning in January 2021, will utilize both the Woodfibre Terminal in North Vancouver and Westview Terminal in Prince Rupert.
"We were in Japan three months ago to celebrate the launch of the vessel," said McCurdy, describing the moment as a highlight of his career and further noting the importance of the partnership. "In addition to developing great relations, great partners and great friends, this agreement signifies the importance of a growing Japanese market for reliable, stable, renewable energies."
McCurdy recognized the hard work of those involved, including Pinnacle's Vaughan Bassett, Senior Vice President, Sales & Logistics, and Eugene Lupynis, Director, Marine Logistics; as well as NYK's Nick Machida, Director of NYKBP (North America) Inc., and Vancouver Shipinvest & Management's Managing Director, Haijun Yu, and Partner Bernie Jones.
In speaking on behalf of NYKBP, President Nose also congratulated the team for their successful efforts, noting it was a great honour to work with Pinnacle to fulfill Japan's commitment to consume more clean energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions – a comment echoed by General Consul Takashi Hatori, representing Japan's government.
NYKBP is no stranger to B.C.'s coast. The dry bulk shipping line exports many products from B.C.'s terminals – logs, grains, copper concentrates, potash, coal, and, of course, wood pellets. "We are proud of the relationship between Canada and Japan and very honoured to be a part of this agreement," said Nose.
Before closing the official signing ceremony, Hatori congratulated Pinnacle and NYKBP and spoke to the importance of the agreement. "It is an honor to be here today to witness the beginning of a long and fruitful partnership between these two companies," he said. "Recognizing the growing importance of efforts to improve the environment, this agreement is very timely."

The NAU football team has a winning streak for the first time
this season.
The Lumberjacks returned home after a hard-fought win
last week over Sacramento State and followed that performance with
a 34–14 victory over the Northern Colorado Bears. The win brought
the Jacks to 4–5 on the year with a 3–4 mark in conference. The

was once again the top offensive priority for the Jacks, rushing
for 124 yards on 28 carries and two scores. He also
caught five passes for 121 yards and a touchdown
to lead all receivers. It was Bauman's first career
100-yard receiving game. His 245-yard, three-touchdown
performance earned him Big Sky

"I think today I had a great day," Bauman
said. "I did what the offense asked me to do:

"The Enchiridion!" is the fifth episode of the first season of the American animated television series Adventure Time. The episode was outlined, written, and storyboarded by Patrick McHale, Adam Muto, and Pendleton Ward. It originally aired on Cartoon Network on April 19, 2010. The episode guest stars Henry Rollins, John Moschitta Jr., and Mark Hamill.

The series follows the adventures of Finn (voiced by Jeremy Shada), a human boy, and his best friend and adoptive brother Jake (voiced by John DiMaggio), a dog with magical powers to change shape and grow and shrink at will. In this episode, Finn and Jake go on a quest for the titular magical book that would prove them worthy of being righteous heroes. After passing through a series of trials and tribulations, Finn acquires the legendary book.

The first episode produced for the series, "The Enchiridion!" was crafted to retain the same spirit as the earlier series' pilot. The middle section originally featured several more trials, but many of them were cut for time. The episode was viewed by 2.096 million viewers, and received generally positive remarks from critics, although several noted that it was noticeably different from the remainder of the series, due to the show's eventual evolution. The episode was later adapted as part of a Level Pack for the 2015 video game Lego Dimensions.

Plot
After a party that results in Finn saving Princess Bubblegum from falling from her tower, she decides that he is worthy of reading the Enchiridion: a tome of heroic knowledge. The book can only be acquired by "for heroes whose hearts are righteous". Bubblegum reveals that the book is located at the top of Mount Cragdor, past several trials.

After passing the doorkeeper (voiced by John Moschitta Jr.), Finn and Jake encounter gnomes who cause Finn to doubt himself. When Jake tries to cheer him up, he is eaten by an ogre. Believing his friend to be dead, Finn steals a giant dollar from the ogre and attacks him, hitting him in the groin. The Ogre vomits Jake up, and the two glide to the end of the trials. Finn, however, makes sure to send the dollar back to the Ogre, causing Jake to call his act "righteous".

Once inside the top-most building of Mount Cragdor, a malevolent entity (voiced by Mark Hamill) takes Finn to his "Brain World", wherein he is first told to slay an evil heart beast, and then slay an "unaligned" ant. Finn kills the beast, but refuses to kill the ant, leading to him defeating the being. Finn is then confronted by Mannish Man, the keeper of the Enchiridion, who gives Finn the book. Finn's first act is to read a chapter about kissing princesses.

Production

"The Enchiridion!" was the first episode of the series produced for Cartoon Network. Frederator Studios had pitched an Adventure Time series to Nicktoons Network, but the network passed on it twice. The studio then approached Cartoon Network. The network said they would be willing to produce the series if Ward could prove that the series could be expanded into a series while maintaining elements from the original short. Ward, with help from Patrick McHale and Adam Muto, turned in a rough storyboard that featured Finn and an "oblivious" Princess Bubblegum going on a spaghetti-supper date. However, the network was not happy with this story, and asked for another. Ward then created an early storyboard for the episode, "The Enchiridion", which was his attempt to emulate the style of the original short. Cartoon Network approved the first season in September 2008, and "The Enchiridion" became the first episode to enter into production.

Because it was the first episode of the series made, the episode originally was twice as long. During the scene in which Princess Bubblegum tells Finn about the Enchiridion, the original storyboard featured an even longer sequence of Bubblegum detailing the history of Ooo and its heroes. Because it was largely unneeded, it was cut out. The first draft of the storyboard featured Finn encountering twelve trials, which included making friends with a giant bat, dealing with a wizard gnome, and fighting skeletons. Because the episode was too long, these were cut out, and replaced by Finn stealing the giant's dollar. The episode originally was also supposed to have a scene featuring "this little tumor creature dancing behind these red velvet drapes that opened up in a knot in a tree." According to Ward, the red curtains were a deliberate nod to the "Red Room" from David Lynch's famous television drama Twin Peaks. However, the scene was eventually cut. Choose Goose was originally supposed to make his appearance in this episode, offering Finn and Jake some juice. The character was cut for time, but later reappeared in the second-season episode "Blood Under the Skin", wherein he became a recurring character.

Henry Rollins voiced the cookie that angrily yells at Finn after he bumps into him. In an early animatic of the episode, Rollins voiced Mannish Man; he later returned to the series to voice the character of Bob Rainicorn in the second season episode "Her Parents". John Moschitta Jr. played the part of Keeper. Ward later recounted that Moschitta's dialogue in the episode was not delivered as fast as Ward wanted. Mannish Man was based on character by Justin Hunt that was originally created for a multi-user dungeon game. Originally, the character was supposed to be the start of a short that Ward and McHale made for CalArts. While it was never finished, a rough version of it was later released on the first season Adventure Time DVD. The sequence taking place in the Evil Guy's "Brain World" was written after executive producer Derek Drymon suggested that the scene could be longer. The heart beast was inspired after Ward saw several instances of Sacred Heart iconography in Mexico.

Reception
"The Enchiridion!" first aired on Cartoon Network on April 19, 2010. The episode was watched by 2.096 million viewers, and scored a 1.4/2 percent Nielsen household rating, meaning that it was seen by 1.4 percent of all households and 2 percent of all households watching television at the time of the episode's airing. The episode first saw physical release as part of the 2012 It Came From the Nightosphere DVD, which included 16 episodes from the series' first three seasons. It was later re-leased as part of the complete first season DVD in July 2012.

In the Ancient Psychic Tandem Warcast podcast, author Lev Grossman and writer Zack Smith reviewed the episode, with the latter calling it a "good, charming little episode with a positive message to it". Grossman called it a good' episode, but noted that it possessed a sort of "cartoon physics" that the series later abandoned; he specifically highlighted the scene wherein Cinnamon Bun did a backflip and destroyed a tower. Ultimately, Smith called it an "interesting homage to Dungeons and Dragons [and] basic mythology".

However, not all reviews were so complimentary. Tyler Foster of DVD Talk, in a review of the It Came From the Nightosphere DVD, called the episode "primitive" and noted that the episode "has a sense of being locked to a traditional story structure", a structure that he muses later episodes do not have.

Sheffield United had better hope it was another 'Crewe Moment'.
The thoroughly miserable, woeful and potentially calamitous result which, in fact, acts as the catalyst for a series of commanding performances.
United, then languishing in the relegation zone, recorded 10 straight wins after being beaten at Gresty Road two seasons ago. Twenty-one months later, and after being humbled on home soil by Shrewsbury Town, they have reached another crossroads. Win, lose or draw, tomorrow's South Yorkshire derby against Barnsley will tell us plenty about the character of Nigel Adkins' squad.
I say win, lose or draw because a positive outcome in terms of the scoreline can never be guaranteed. It doesn't take HG Wells or Mary Shelley to imagine various circumstances whereby United might finish the match having deserved to succeed but, after a poor offside decision, series of injuries or controversial sending-off, leave Oakwell without any reward. That, like it or not, is the fickle business of sport. Folk who suggest otherwise, usually those with an inflated sense of their own importance, are just plain wrong.
Confidence will inevitably be low among their number at present, something Lee Johnson's side will attempt to exploit. What United must deliver, however, is a combative performance. Or, to put it another way, a response. If they don't - and given that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different outcome - then Adkins must be given carte blanche to hack out the dead wood and start over with, barring a few notable exceptions, different personnel.
Because, while there is no shortage of ability within their ranks, this current crop of United players need more leaders to emerge. That, I think, is the problem. A lack of on-the-pitch leadership which should not be confused with ranting, raving and snarling at opponents.
The late, great Emanuel Steward once said boxing champions "were made within." The same goes for footballers too.
Adkins' predecessor Nigel Clough summoned the team to a meeting 24 hours after that defeat to Crewe and told them, in no uncertain terms, that because they were languishing in the relegation zone, he was waiting to discover whether certain members would "sink or swim." Reading between the lines, a similar message was relayed after Tuesday's 4-2 reverse.
United might not be quite as good as first thought. But they are better than they showed last time out. With only five points separating them from the top six positions, as opposed to 20 in February 2014, there is every possibility the campaign could still end on a positive note. Providing they demonstrate the necessary fight, focus and, yes, leadership.


When a bank or other lender moves to foreclose on a home mortgage, they simply repossess the home, evict the borrower and that is that, correct? While many people assume that this is all there is to a foreclosure, this simply is not true. A 2007 report to the U.S. Senate Joint Economic Committee found that on average, a home foreclosure will end up costing a total of $79,443. This economic toll is not carried by any one party; instead, it is spread out among several different entities. The homeowner loses $7,200 in expenses for moving and loss of whatever small amount of equity he or she may have in the property.
The local government is expected to lose $19,229 in missed tax revenues for that individual property, in addition to the fact that overall tax revenues will decrease given that any foreclosure has a depressing effect on surrounding home values. This effect also means that the owners of the adjacent properties will lose a combined $3,016 in decreased property values. The biggest loser in a foreclosure is actually the lender, which on average gives up $50,000 in the form of legal fees involved in carrying out the foreclosure, as well as lost revenues while the loan is in default and while the property is waiting to be sold to a new buyer.
Even if you do not stand to lose as much as the bank in the initial aftermath of a foreclosure, it is important to also take into account how much it could cost you in the months and years following the event. A foreclosure can have a devastating effect on your personal credit score, depending on factors including how long you have been in default and what your score was to begin with. According to the company which developed the FICO credit reporting scores, your own score may drop as much as 110 points when you are 30 days late on your mortgage, 135 points when you are 90 days late, and 160 points when the property is finally foreclosed. As a result, you can expect to be paying significantly more in interest if you need to take out a loan to buy a new car or if you apply for a credit card, and it may also make it more difficult for you to be approved on a rental application. After a few years the foreclosure will no longer appear on your credit report, and you can also take actions to improve your score, but life may be more difficult in the meantime.
Looking for an attorney for foreclosure in Cook County? At Whiteman Borden, LLC, we understand that your home foreclosure is about more than just the money. If you have been living in the property for many years, you most likely have many cherished memories that are closely tied to the home, while if you have only been there a short time you may have been working to build a life and looking forward to a long and happy future there. Now, you are faced with the prospect of having to uproot your life, pack your belongings and in all likelihood you will have to spend the next few years renting before you are able to get approved for another loan to purchase a home of your own.
Don't hesitate to contact us now for a free consultation where you can tell your story, discuss your concerns and find out about your options. Depending on the circumstances of the case, a Chicago foreclosure defense lawyer from our firm may be able to help you prevent the foreclosure and put you in a position where you can afford to keep the house. Even if this is not possible, we can still seek to help you delay the foreclosure significantly, as well as using one of many strategies for mitigating the damage to your credit score and your financial stability. Let us guide you through this challenging experience!

There was quite a bit of action in the world of tournament poker over the past week, with big names winning in both the live and online poker arenas, as well as some news on the fourth stop of the Epic Poker League's inaugural season.
Evans is a regular on the UK poker scene, but the massive payday was his largest live tournament score to date, easily besting his previous high of $28,733 won at the Second Chance £100,000 Poker Classic in 2008.
The brash-talking Luke Schwartz picked-up a big online win this past weekend after defeating a field of 860 players to win the PokerStars Sunday 500. With a total prize-pool of $430,000, Schwartz pocketed a very nice payday of just over $77,000.
Kurt Jewell picked-up his second WSOP Circuit Series Main Event ring (his third WSOPC ring overall) this week after he weaved his way through the 647 player field that registered for the WSOPC Main Event held at Harrah's resort in Tunica.
Prior to Event 3, and even more so during Event 3, we received a lot of player feedback about the Event 4 schedule that extends over January and February (as it stands now, the fourth Pro/Am sits ten days in front of the fourth Main Event). We have heard you loud and clear that the 10-day break is not ideal from a player perspective — especially for those who have not yet completed their Pro/Am and/or Charity Event requirement. So, in response to your clear feedback, we have made the decision to move Event 4 away from the January and February dates to later in the spring and at a time that will allow us to run the Pro/Am and Charity Events during the same week as the Main Event.
We are working to set new dates that do not conflict with the global tournament schedule in the coming months and that fit with casino space availability. We will have new dates to announce after the New Year, but we felt it was best to let all of you know – as soon as possible – so that you can plan your schedules accordingly.
While many people will take the statement at face value, others in the poker community have expressed their concerns regarding the league's solvency at this point. Is this simply a stalling tactic to give the EPL more time to negotiate a deal for the sale of the company, or is the league truly trying to set a date for the fourth stop (which would then be followed by a $1 million freeroll for the Top 27 players from Season 1)?

Hyderabad has been victimized by the Indian Mujahedeen with its repeated terror attacks on the state and this has forced the CM N Kiran Kumar Reddy to take steps to work towards the safety and security of the citizens.
It is seen that the city has grown densely populated than before and the police citizen ratio is very low. So, it has been declared that 5000 CCTV cameras will be installed in and around the city to track down suspicious activities and persons. It will help to minimize the terror threats and the police will able to react at the earliest possible time.

Volkswagen and Ford are in talks about various joint projects. According to a report, they are working on a van project, as well as others.
A few years ago, someone in the auto industry – I think it was Sergio Marchionne, the head of Fiat Chrysler Autos – who said that the future of the auto industry was in consolidation and in combination.
Marchionne, indeed, tried to peddle his auto company first to General Motors and then elsewhere, but, in the end FCA is still going it alone, though who knows what the future might hold.
In another area, Volkswagen and Ford are in talks about jointly developing commercial vehicles. According to Reuters, the automakers are discussing producing a range of vehicles including vans.
Earlier in the day, a story had appeared that indicated Ford and Volkswagen were in talks about the joint production of vans.
Volkswagen and Ford, in a late statement, indicated they were considering a strategic alliance on trucks. The joint statement said they were "investigating several joint projects" including a range of commercial vehicles for the global market.
There was no equity swap or cross-ownership, the companies emphasized. Instead, they were discussing specific joint projects.
In their brief statement, the automakers did not provide further details. However, they did say that VW and Ford were "exploring potential projects across a number of areas" including commercial vehicles.
It makes sense, in a funny way, that VW and Ford should be discussing vehicles development. Ford has been made the best-selling U.S. pickup truck for nearly 5 decades. Its F-series is the best-selling U.S. pickup and has been since 1970.
Volkswagen, which produced its first light truck for the U.S. market last year in the Atlas, owns MAN and Scania truck brands in Europe, but there is no pickup or smaller commercial vehicle in its U.S. and other products. Yes, it is true that VW is working on developing a pickup version of its popular Atlas, but it is nowhere near ready yet and while it does have a European pickup that has been quite successful, the Amarok, the diesel pickup won't be offered in the U.S.

Fairmount Park Conservancy leader to challenge Blackwell for Philly Council seat

This story originally appeared on PlanPhilly.
Former Fairmount Park Conservancy executive director Jamie Gauthier will challenge longtime City Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell for control of West Philadelphia's 3rd District.
Gauthier took the reins at the conservancy, a fundraising nonprofit that supports the city's park system, two years ago. Before joining the conservancy, she served as executive director of the Sustainable Business Network and as a program officer at Philadelphia Local Initiative Support Coalition, a major funder of affordable housing and economic development projects.
"Yes, I'm running to be councilwoman in the 3rd District," Gauthier told PlanPhilly. "I've done a lot of work in the district to bring affordable housing, improve commercial corridors and parks. Now I'm excited to bring everything I've learned in the nonprofit sector and bring it to work towards a future vision for West Philly and Southwest Philly."
Gauthier said she stepped down from her position at the conservancy Tuesday. An official campaign announcement is expected Wednesday.
Gauthier, who was born and spent part of her childhood in the district she now seeks to represent, returned as an adult to earn a master's degree in city planning at the University of Pennsylvania and raise her two sons.
She said she would run on a platform of supporting more equitable economic development across the district, which encompasses rowhouse neighborhoods of many people living below the poverty line and booming University City.
"The universities in West Philadelphia are often seen as sources of gentrification, but I think there are ways to work with those institutions to create more local jobs and more procurement opportunities," she said. "We want the area to be equitable for everyone."
Gauthier said she met with representatives of Philly 3.0, a PAC that's supported non-incumbent council candidates and does not have to disclose its donors. The political action committee was formed by Parkway Corp. principals Joseph and Robert Zuritsky –– who have made millions developing commercial real estate and operating parking facilities –– to elect reform-minded, pro-business candidates.
"[The discussions] were about the political realm in general, nothing specific," she said. "These are people that I connect with directly through the urbanist world."
Gauthier said she hasn't received money or commitments of support from the group.
The Blackwell family has represented West Philadelphia in City Council since 1974. Jannie Blackwell assumed power after her husband, Lucien Blackwell, vacated the seat to run for Congress in 1991.
Jannie Blackwell is well-known to ward leaders and community groups in the district, many of whom regard her as a champion of educational and affordable housing issues. Blackwell has drawn criticism for maintaining uncomfortably close ties to some of the same groups that support her, channeling public dollars and other support to these organizations, including at least one run by a former staffer.
In recent years, she has also openly feuded with Mayor Jim Kenney over a variety of legislative items – from the reuse of the former Provident Mutual building to parking ticket amnesty legislation to a fire damper bill that many said was a needless handout to a specific union.
Blackwell has not faced a serious political challenger in over a decade – in her past two primary elections, the incumbent took over 90 percent of the vote.
"Councilwoman Blackwell has served the district for a long time," Gauthier said. "She certainly has a lot of respect in the community, and I respect her. But I do think it's time for new vision, new ideas."
Council candidates must file to run by March 13. The primary election is May 21.
Correction: This article was corrected to identify Gauthier as the former executive director of the Fairmount Park Conservancy.

Apologies for the downtime but it was due to blind pressure. Everything should be back to normal now.
I'm not bothered about the Downtime to be honest, Its all about the application and desire of the server and overall I can't fault that. It was doing the right things, doing as it should and how I wanted it, so we just have to move on and accept this has happened. I can't fault the forum at all, its performed well all week and I've watched it a lot whilst its been put through its paces in pre match day postings. Application has been top notch, so I'm sure all the users here will be more than delighted that even though we have had downtime, they are at home with a smile on their face.
Give me a spring in my step.
Is JF still using the duck analogy, calm on the surface but working away underneath?
Sinking ship, more like drowning duck me thinks.
Not heard that one in a few weeks actually!! Maybe we're not even doing that anymore.

What to do when you are interlocutor?
Hi everyone, I have spent a long time reading the thread about "embarrassment when talking in the ml in public "and I think your ideas are great and have given me a new perspective on how to face situations when we are in public with our baby. Sam's blog post about this issue is tremendously encouraging and describes perfectly the feelings ml parents have, especially non-native ml parents like me.
Hi, Angela. If you mean situations like when someone says something like: "And how old are you, little one?", what I do is tell my child in the ml: "Say: hi, I'm [age]" and then tell this person in the ML "S/he's [age]". This happens to me a lot with my son, and so I talk to him in the ml and translate for other adults. For instance, when we arrive at his nursery school every morning, teachers there say hello to him in the ML and I always tell my son "Say: hello!/hi!/good morning!" and then say hi to the teacher in the ML myself. No one has ever felt offended...and if someone does, that's their problem, really.

Referendum on election of MMDCEs fixed for Dec. 17 Featured
The Electoral Commission (EC) says the referendum on the election of Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) will be held on December 17, 2019.
The election was initially scheduled to take place on December 10, 2019, but has now been moved to December 17, 2019.
Director of Elections at the EC, Dr Serebour Quaicoe speaking at the launch of the Coalition for the National Referendum and Election of MMDCES in Accra, on Thursday, August 15, 2019, said the change was as a result of an injunction that was brought against the process, altering the initial timetable for the elections.
He said: "I'll like to inform you that the election date is not on the 10th but on the 17th. What happened was that we drew our programme on the 10th but you're all aware that we were in court on the just ended registration and lost 12 days and because of that we were compelled to choose 17th …so, I can say formally, all things being equal the elections will be held on the 17th of December and it's on a Tuesday."
The Executive Director of the Institute of Democratic Governance (IDEG), Dr Emmanuel Akwetey, also speaking at the same forum hinted on the need for a unified front in supporting the amendment of Article 55 (3) of the 1992 Constitution which allows for the election of MMDCEs.
According to Dr Akwetey, the initiative is welcomed by civil society organisations since it aims to empower the people in speeding up development at the local level.
Dr Akwetey said the government was behind schedule in organising the referendum and stressed that it was important to organise the referendum this year to avoid encouraging political infiltration due to the 2020 parliamentary and presidential elections.
Deputy Local Government Minister O.B. Amoah who was also present at the same function commended the coalition for its efforts at gathering support ahead of the referendum and reiterated the government's commitment to shore up development by empowering the locals to elect their own leaders.

The rabbi, and the ewe. on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu.
The rabbi, and the ewe.
This article was originally published in Romanian five years ago, as Rabinul si oaia.
Nehorai the rabbi was a wonder. When he spoke up on the barrel in front of the villagers you could plainly see the mist of truth coming off things like you see summer heat coming off the scorched dust of the roads, and when he'd strile the Torah against the table without moving it a hair you could hear twinkling the crystals in Heaven's own candelabra. The very angels above would come down to seek his advice, for fear of stepping out of the Almighty's words, for nobody in four corners of the world like no one in the ethers knew the word enough to as much as correctly express the inferiority of his understanding in front of the beardy, kinda wry old man.
Ahh, he was a wonder, Nehorai the rabbi, and the villagers couldn't figure how was it that he made his house in their tiny settlement lost in the emptiness and muds of the plain, and took wife, Rahela, a good girl and hardworking, from the village, with who had smart boys and pretty girls, all gone to their places, some to school in Universities, some by the needs of trade on water or land to the distant dusts of Dalmatia or the mists of the Islands of Pepper and Amber, some married to respected husbandmen of the place or afield, withe beautiful houses and healthy children, joyful like they were. It's also true that the villagers didn't spend much time on the matter, having their own work to do, even if the old crones around the fire spoke some nights that the rabbi is older than anyone in the village, and than the village outright, and than the wood that made the fire and who knows, maybe even the rocks holding the fire in the fireplace and perhaps the fire itself.... that he had been married before, other than to Rahela, with another woman, just as old and dry as now, with who he had other children that also went to their houses and places, and the woman dried out and bent over and in due time went to the choir, but the rabbi changed not as much as a hair in his beard, but stayed the same as the very first day.
And before that one had another wife, and before that one yet another, and another, and another... The old women would say he had read the Haskalah papers, also old, also dry, with eyes still shining a devilish light and he had said to the young and fiery rabbis that indeed, they're right... broadly speaking, that he had read the Shulchan Aruch in draft and shook his head, explaining to the Saphedim what to take out and what to cut, and they in their stupid minds left what was to be taken and took what was to be left, eh, that's how people are, but Nehorai was not people, and in fact Nehorai wasn't even his real name, but many were waiting for him in many places under many names while he minded his own mind in the little village lost in the endless steppes, raising geese and ducks both in the yard for stuffing and taking to the market in town, and in the rabinical school for the same except in different manners, and let them wait. "What's all the hurry", he'd say now and again, and probably with good reason.
But one good day like any other, as he sat in his chair and read (without following the words on paper, as it was no longer needed for a long time now), in the unpleasant buzzing of thirdy empty heads reading as well, with fresh curls and still stinking of breast with every breath, he saw outside the window an ewe. The ewe was looking straight at the rabbi, and the rabbi was looking straight at the ewe, apart from the others and no longer chewing for sprouts and grasses, like is the lot of all sheep. No sound was heard, at least not by the pupils, but the rabbi's ears were roaring so he went outside and sat next to the ewe.
The ewe was looking at him, the rabbi was looking at the ewe.
"How am I to teach you the law, beast without reason and without tongue as you are ?! Even if you want, you can want what you will, but that doesn't mean you can... " The rabbi could find no words, which hadn't happened in a long, long time, someone asked for advice once, estwhile, it seemed like yesterday but it was many centuries ago and he knew not what to say so he said nothing, and this silence changed the course of all the world's affairs in such variety of divers ways that generations of rabbis and learned scholars that came hence neither had managed to write it all up, nor comprehended all completely.
After generations on generations on generations of ewes that foaled lambs that were eaten in soup and jellies, and again and again and again lo! that the endless play of happenstance which otherwise doesn't even exist took a fact out of abstraction that itself could not exist : the ewe with a desire to learn the Torah. That will made it to no degree more capable of learning than any other ewe found itself, yet plainly manifest incapacity, obvious and in the end admitted with gentle eyes by the very beast changed its unyielding, unshaken, burning desire not one whit.
"You're going in the pot!" thought outloud the rabbi, exasperated as he hadn't been since the wedding of Nabucodonosor the first.
"Is that how one learns the Torah ?" The gentles eyes, incapable of understanding, perfectly capable of desire, and of will and aspiration, would have gone in the pot or anywhere else. Because the ewe's faith in the rabbi exceeded any human bond of trust, the ewe not being in the end a person, and looky wonder, the very dams holding instruction away, which is to say the lack of a mind capable of reason, allowed it obedience, and faith, and total dedication. It'd have made itself, without regret and without restraint ewe tripe, if that's how one learns the Torah.
And so the rabbi took it inside the schoolhouse, and sat the ewe by a table, in a corner. The ewe sat patiently, now and again grasping and chewing on a sheet of paper, but not the holy texts, just plain note paper the other pupils were trying to copy on. "It does what it can by its powers", answered once the rabbi to one of the flightier children that asked him why is the ewe eating the paper instead of writing like any other pupil. "Where've you seen hooved beast to write ?"
The unprecedented gesture of the rabbi caused a sensation, the pupils turned the matter on all sides until the most bedeviled one in the lot, which in their society passed for the smarter and more competent in matters of text and tradition, in their execrable estimation, came up with the notion that the rabbi is thus teaching them a lesson, of humbleness and learning, because look that even a beast is capable of staying put and not bleeting for hours on end, chewing peacibly on a sheet of paper. The rabbi said nothing, and the ewe even less, who's going to be the fool to attempt to explain to a horde of kiddies that the world is not made for them and to their use, but exactly them for it, and specifically for them to be made into pies and stews, on which the grass to grow, all the tastier. For the sheep, the sheep to come.
Wise men from afar found in turn like the bedeviled child, whom they praised for his wits, and took him to high schooling and private neighbourhood universities, yet the respect enjoyed by the rabbi did not diminish, as it did not increase, like the ewe's wisdom did not increase, as it did not diminish, through her induction in the school, at the table, with paper in front, like all schoolboys.
After a while the ewe died, without having advanced as much as a spec of dust on the road she had wanted, notwithstanding having spent its entire life trying. The rabbi however didn't die, nor after that while nor any other, principally because in the generations of goose and ganders that pretended a few hours every day to be studying the Torah there wasn't a single one to have advanced as much as a spec of dust, and the law says clearly that the last rabbi can not die.
Nehorai looked disinterestedly out the window, and thought that there's no hope even from ewes for this otherwise very beautiful world, in its own pointless manner.

Fit Women are also Beautiful
Social Media Sites like Instagram and Twitter are a showcase for Fitness Influencers.
They've managed to gain enough views to start to shift our social values where ideals of beauty are concerned.
78 female undergraduate students (from The University of Missouri-Kansas City) were asked to rate the winners of the Miss USA beauty pageant, and the researchers found that the women with more toned or muscular physique are now seen as more attractive and even more sexy than very thin women.
Scientific Proof
The students were asked to review pictures of Miss USA winners who were crowned from 1999 – 2013 and rate them according to how attractive they were.
The study found that recent crown recipients were more muscular and toned rather than merely thin.
So have attitudes about physical beauty shifted?
We've been shown countless images of super heroes in the media. Actresses playing those roles have had to tone up for the parts.
LOS ANGELES, CA – DECEMBER 09: Actress Daisy Ridley attends the Los Angeles premiere of 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' at The Shrine Auditorium on December 9, 2017 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic)
Think of Daisy Ridley as Rey in Star Wars The Force Awakens and the Last Jedi. Or Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman.
Head researcher Frances Bozsik published their findings in the Sex Roles Journal, saying: "There is a shift in the thin ideal female figure to one that now includes the appearance of physical fitness via muscularity."
Daisy Ridley got fit for Star Wars
She explained that the explosion of "fitspo" on social media channels was a factor. Fans also tend to curate collections of images fitness Inspiration Models and Trainers on Pintrest and Tumblr. She noted that this could have motivational or harmful effects (eating disorders).
Frances also noted that both muscularity and thinness were commonly found among female celebrities.
A 2nd study carried out by the university saw 64 students presented with pictures of 14 different women.
The images were shown in pairs of the same woman with and without muscle definition.
But when one of the photos was left untouched, the results showed that the subjects found the more muscular version more attractive.
So we are inpsired by women and attracted to women who are fit, healthy and beautiful who also have good muscle tone.
Daisy Ridley works hard to bring the character of Rey to life

a-ha's recording career hit the skids in America with its third release. But in the U.K., the album became the group's third straight to peak at number two, though it charted for a shorter period than the first two albums, and there were four Top 25 hits -- the title track, "The Blood That Moves the Body," "Touchy!," and "You Are the One." (Also included was a-ha's 1987 theme from the James Bond movie The Living Daylights, a U.K. number five that missed the U.S. charts.) Even in a country with a demonstrated affection for Scandinavians, however (remember ABBA?), that was a fall-off, if the decline was more gradual, and three albums in, a-ha wasn't demonstrating any development from its first hit, just more of the same and a little less distinctive. [A Deluxe Edition added a second disc of 25 bonus tracks comprising alternate remixes, early versions, demos, and original mixes.]

January 2015 update: The Community Youth Arts Program Program is not currently active.
Youth, The program is geared towards youth between the ages 15-30.
Newfoundland, Newfoundland and Labrador. However, youth need to live in St. John's in order to attend.
The Murphy Centre is a not-for-profit organization that offers a wide variety of programs and services to youth at risk, including the Community Youth Arts Program. The over 8 years of success of this program can be attributed to the dedication of the centre's co-directors Timothy Thorne and Timothy Turner as well as its invaluable staff.
Candace Fulford, the program's current coordinator, explained that at-risk can mean many different things including problems with addictions, mental health barriers, street involvement a loss of a loved one, aboriginal status, a general loss of a sense of direction and, of course the list goes on. The program seeks to help these youth find relevant employment or education in their areas of interest, particularly visual arts. The participants of this program are paid the current minimum wage for 30 hour per week for roughly 47 weeks. This helps to set up the program as a job model where people are held accountable for their actions as they would be in a job outside of the program.
During the program, professional artists host workshops that share knowledge and skills with the participants. These professional artists are invited to teach and are paid fair rates as determined by our national artist advocacy organization's, Canadian Artists' Representation /Le Front des artistes canadiens (CARFAC), minimum fee schedule. The focus of the program is on professional practices in the visual arts but it is not closed off to other artistic endeavours like writing and music. Within the program they also incorporate field trips that are geared towards visual arts by using the places they visit as inspiration.
In terms of evaluating the program, many people ask Candace: "Did they go to school for visual arts or get a job afterwards? What is the success rate?" Candace answers by saying that the success for each person is different. The biggest indicator for success, in her mind, is that the youth learn how to interact with each other, work as a group, break out of their shell, improve their social skills and figure out where their strengths lie. Here, youth learn how to share and compromise, express themselves, and work communally. Art is therapeutic and is a vehicle for youth to express themselves and break out of the pattern they may feel they are held back with. It is most important for them to develop their talents and to realize what they have to offer.
In previous years, a peer mentorship position was offered where a former participant from the previous program would return in a supervisory role and aid the new youth arts participants. They'd share their valuable experiences and help to support the role of the program coordinator. This year they are trying something new by employing another professional Murphy Centre staff member, Colleen Banko, who has extensive experience working with people of all ages to help build life skills and career development. Although this new coordinator position is half time there are strong hopes that in the future both positions will be full time.
The program sets up community partnerships and volunteer opportunities for the youth to gain experience working in the local arts community. The program is all about partnering and collaborating with other programs and projects. They are always looking for new ideas and ways that the 12 participants can become involved with the community and help to support the great work that other organizations are doing every day. They are also interested in collaborating with organizations outside of the province and are open to exchanges of artworks and ideas.
Its mandate is to help youth who have various barriers to obtaining further education and employment, develop their employability skills and goals with a particular focus on visual arts.
WISHLIST: The Murphy Centre's Community Youth Arts Program needs paint, paper, textile materials and tools (especially a sewing machine and serger!) as well as sculptural tools and materials. The art program's annual budget range is close to $300,000 which includes everything from all related wages to supplies and materials- so the money has to go a long way! They also barter and partner with other arts organizations in return for volunteer time and various collaborative projects.

I know it a very specific question but how old is Connor meant to be at the end of the game?


Over the past few years, I've tried most of the WhistlePig whiskeys - we've reviewed the standard, 100 proof 10-year-old rye and the 86 proof Farmstock Rye "Crop 001." We've also sipped on the 12-year-old, incredibly complex "Old World" blend and, more recently, on the 15-year-old rye and the Boss Hog, editions III and IV. They are truly special whiskeys crafted by one of the industry's biggest personalities (and men), Dave Pickerell, who I wrote about in my book, Bourbon & Bullets.
When I talk with friends about the 15-year-old rye and/or the Boss Hogs, most of them immediately comment on the price. They are incredibly expensive bottles!
If interested in [or bothered by] the WhistlePig price point discussion, I recommend you listen to a few minutes of the Bourbon Pursuit podcast / interview with Dave Pickerell. Go to the 1:03:20 mark and listen to him explain the "five promises" behind Boss Hog, which underlies the justification for a $500 price tag.
The bottom line is that the folks at WhistlePig bottle very high-quality, expensive products. However, they are also justifiably concerned about secondary market prices. Dave Pickerell argues that at $200, Boss Hog would immediately move onto on the secondary market and be flipped for three of four times that, whereas $500 bottles allow most folks to order a dram at the bar or even buy a bottle, but it's expensive enough to cut off secondary market flippers. Interesting point…and, for what it's worth, I've seen the Boss Hog on shelves for as low as $375.
Enough on that. When any liquid departs its fancy package and is removed from the hype of its name, only a few things matter: appearance, aroma, taste, and feel. How do these ryes stack up??
Color: Very light; apple juicy.
Nose: A sweet, albeit soft, mix of caramel, toffee, and toasted oak. Pleasant and understated for a 100% rye that spent fifteen years in former bourbon barrels (and even more time in Vermont oak finishing barrels).
Tasting Notes: I'm struck by the thin mouthfeel. It falls apart. There are sophisticated vanilla and pear notes, followed by classic rye and white peppery spice. But it lacks the depth and richness I'd expected.
Overall: C. I am disappointed. I'm not ruling out external factors like intoxication or that I tasted this next to it's superstar brother, Boss Hog…I will re-visit.
Color: Just classic, medium amber.
Nose: Pop that little piggy off and let this whiskey's essence fill the room. I am nearly overwhelmed by the explosion of decadent aromas. Rich, chocolatey slabs of fudge lay the foundation as Christmastime spices waft above charred oak, burnt brown sugar, and dark red fruit.
Tasting Notes: Same same as the nose. I get dark cherry chocolate, cinnamon and nutmeg spice, some bitter orange rind, peppery spice, and alcohol power. It lasts forever.
Overall: A. It's great. Then again, a $500, fourteen year old Canadian rye finished in Scotch hogsheads…should be great.

Degree by Kristalia
The Degree takes multifunctional home furniture to a new level. This innovative and eye-catching piece of furniture raises as many questions as it answers.
What exactly is it? Is it a stylish and modern bedside table? Is it a unique work of art? Or is it a handy storage container designed to make the most our of any living or commercial space? Well, it's all of those things and more.
Patrick Norguet's visually impressive bedside table is part of the Kristalia Collection, and it's unusual design is perhaps its most striking feature. Reminiscent of a graduate's top hat, this functional piece of bedroom furniture doubles up as a handy storage space.

Kristalia was established in 1994 by young entrepreneurs from Friuli who share two great passions: design and jazz.
From the outset, Kristalia has given special attention to innovative design projects through experimentation and searching for new technical solutions, using materials borrowed from the fields of fashion and sport.
In autumn 1995, Kristalia presented its first catalogue to the sales network. Production immediately met the needs of a public oriented towards contemporary furnishings while maintaining details and reassuring traditional styles.
From the end of the 1990s, with the creation of a definitive company organisation, Kristalia began to pursue a different path and attract consumers who were particularly attentive to the aesthetic and qualitative characteristics linked to innovation in Italian and international design.
The new millennium opened doors to an increasingly global and competitive market but Kristalia confirmed its leading position thanks to its inspiring principles that distinguish it today from other brands.
Currently, Kristalia Srl comprises a team led by motivated people who are fully involved in its development programmes: the strategies, analysed by the owners, are only applied after careful collaboration with the various players in the company.
This ongoing search for a team spirit makes Kristalia stand out from the crowd.
Patrick Norguet
The apparent modesty of Patrick Norguet veils a spirit animated by the concerns of perfection, detail and an object well-made. For the last 12 years, the designer has engraved his name on the international design scene with strokes of precision, determination and discretion.
A descendent of Roger Tallon, Castiglioni, and more recent, Alberto Meda, Patrick Norguet considers himself an industrial designer.
He is radical in his search for purity, poetic in his sensibility of products and meticulous in his sense of detail.
His aesthetic genes are more Nordic than Austrian and his temperament is quite French.
It is first and foremost to Italy that he owes his success. Primarily to Giulio Cappellini, who brought him to the limelight in 1999 by manufacturing his instant classic, Rainbow Chair, which is in the MoMA's permanent collection, and Kristalia, Tolix, Glas Italia, Poltrona Frau, Flaminia, Lapalma, Lea Ceramiche as well as Alias and Cassina, who see in the designer a real talent to imagine quality products that are also commercial and durable.

A Powerpuff Girls live-action remake is in the works and I don't know what to feel
To be fair, I don't know what to feel in a lot of life situations because I'm dead inside. Half-kidding!
Anyway, it's true: the classic Cartoon Network animated series that used to bring some thrill into my weekend as an elementary dead kid is being turned into a live-action show. The project is currently under development at The CW, a TV Network in the US, and is spearheaded by Diablo Cody, the Oscar-winning screenwriter for Juno, and Veronica Mars writer Heather Regnier.
If the live-action remake were to try its best to retain the adorable freakiness of the OG Powerpuff Girls, I wouldn't be batting an eye. However, according to the plot synopsis reported by various outlets, the remake will see the trio of pint-sized girls struggling to navigate through life as twenty-something-year-olds, after having spent the majority of their childhood fighting crime and saving the world, which is honestly kind of a messed up thing for kids to have to go through. Now, as a bunch of disillusioned adults, evil things are back and the people of Townsville are calling for their help again. Will they be up to the challenge? Based on my personal experience, I would understand if not. But since it's a superhero series, we can expect to see the girls repressing their issues to serve society. Very millennial.
A quick recap
In case you've already lost in touch with your colorful childhood, the original Powerpuff Girls follows kindergarteners Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup as they fight off villains trying to mess with their town. The three sisters got their superpowers when their father, Professor Utonium, accidentally added Chemical X to a "sugar, spice, and everything nice" mixture. Premiering in 1998, the show ran for 6 seasons and 78 episodes and ended in 2005.
No other major details about the casting and the release date have been published, yet. If in this millennialised series, Bubbles turns out to be bisexual and Mojo-Mojo a part-time villain and part-time Twitter woke, we'll have to find that out.
