2019 Film Reviews Horror
By Neil Baker on Friday, April 5, 2019
Pet Sematary falls into the same trap as countless film remakes, trying to offer something unique and different, but in turn straying from the original source material and the power of the story. Ultimately this is an unneeded remake of a classic horror film, that deviates from King's book in a haphazard and clumsy way, leading to disappointing final product.
Some barriers are not meant to be broken; remaking Pet Sematary was one of them. Watch the original film or read the book instead. Click for the full review

Despite its flaws, The Sisters Brothers takes the western genre and blends it with character studies that provide humour, depth and warmth; challenging a series of age-old genre boundaries. This is a film that provides an eccentric and beautifully shot journey while providing enough mainstream entertainment alongside its creativity and difference to appeal to most audiences.

They are us in this smart horror that plays with economic divides in modern society, whilst offering enough shocks and twists to keep die hard horror fans engaged.

PDF files are the ideal exchange format since they can be opened on any platform and they avoid those notorious conversion problems that can occur on devices with different operating systems. But here's something not many people know: Adding audio and video files is just as easy as including text, images and graphics. This is the kind of feature that can create tremendous value, not only because it eliminates having a bunch of bothersome email attachments, but because it opens the way to what is truly a rich and full-scale multimedia communications experience.
Almost everyone uses the PDF format when exchanging documents. And there's really no way around it if you want to be certain that the person receiving the file can open it and view its content exactly the way it was created. But what's often not clear to many is that it's also fast and easy to include audio and video files in your PDFs.
Adding files this way eliminates the need to attach them to your emails. What's more, it also lets you engage your audience by using multimedia to directly convey ideas and concepts. Whether it is sample videos, tutorials, animations or the perfect musical accompaniment, the ability to enrich your PDF presentations with integrated audio files or Adobe Flash Player compatible videos will generate significant value and interest. You can even grab still images from the videos you're using and then place them in the PDF document as clickable thumbnails. The actual procedure is quite simple and easy and can also be accomplished using Adobe Acrobat XI.


Attended the valedictory function of Sikkim Organic Day, 2018 held today at Saramsa Gardens.
In my address, I highlighted on the importance of organic farming which is globally recognized and accepted as one and the only alternative farming practice as against modern chemical based farming. Governments around the world are not in favour of adopting organic farming even at this crucial junction. The advantages of organic farming have been ignored by most Governments and their leadership, and they have not given serious thoughts on adopting this method of farming. I stressed on the fact that organic farming is the only alternative to intensive chemical-based farming, which has given rise to deterioration of soil health, decreased organic matter content and high level of chemicals, posing immense threat to the environment that we live in. It has also led to pollution of air, water and atmosphere with adverse effects on crop production, which in turn prove hazardous to human health and wellbeing. If the use of synthetic fertilizers is not stopped at the earliest, the whole world will be destroyed by these harmful chemicals. Hence, I appealled to our progressive farmers, as pioneers of organic farming, to work harder and endeavour towards increasing their production and start producing at a commercial scale.
1. To grow and cultivate all useful plants/crops found in forests.
2. State Government to grant loans with minimum interest so as to encourage people to take up activities like dairy farming, poultry, floriculture, establishing orchards, etc.
3. Kitchen/terrace and vertical gardens to be started to encourage people to grow vegetables for self-consumption.
4. Plantation of crops/saplings which bear fruits and flowers to be carried out in forest areas on Environment Day for the birds and wild animals to feed upon.
5. Distribution of 'Arna' variety of buffalos to be carried out.
6. Compensation to be provided for damaged crops if the ferrying vehicles provided by the Government fail to collect organic produce for sale on time.


GRUBISA, Mate. Passed away 15 February 2011. Dearly loved Dad, Father-in-law and Didi Mate of Elsa, Frank and Maureen and his 5 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. Always remembered and sadly missed. Didi beans and tomatoes were great this year Dad!
What will you miss most about Mate GRUBISA?


David Taylor exhibits widely and is the winner of many prestigious awards. He is also a highly accomplished tutor, teaching and conducting workshops in Australia, the US and Europe. David's oil painting technique includes the use of both brushes and a palette knife. David's art is extremely atmospheric and very collectable.


Animal jumpers, rubber lovers, Scousers that sound like Brooklyners and the most perfect indie pop song heard in ages. Getintothis' Liza Williams fills her boots.
This is the most perfect bit of indie pop i've heard in ages.
80s keyboards, crashing guitars, a Phil Spector wall of sound beat in the middle, what more do you want?
Dark but poppy, dramatic but catchy- like the Jesus and Mary Chain crossed with OMD, in stupidly tight trousers.
For lovers of animal jumpers, eiffel tower figurines and cup cakes.
Twee indie at its loveliest, courtesy of Catherine Ireton on vocals and Stuart Murdoch from Belle and Sebastian on guitar.
The song features on the God Help the Girl soundtrack, a film written by Mr Murdoch to be released next year.
To be fair you probably would have guessed.
Come on now, is this side project just an excuse to dress up in 16th century regalia and release singles under a draft name?
The track itself from Simon Neil of Biffy Clyro and JP Reid of Sucioperro is about a pink rubber lover pinned to the top of someone's house (?) and samples Billy Joel's 'Sleeping With The Television On'.
It is an unsettling combination, but not a bad track.
Not as stand alone as previous singles Paris or Dusk till Dawn, but along the same nostalgic track.
It's more mellow and laid back, and perhaps more of an album track in that sense.
Quite an original sound from this Liverpool four-piece. The vocals remind me a bit of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and the guitar work is really well put together.
Royksopp have written some beautiful songs, but this isn't one of them.
Robyn features on vocals, squealing about being 'in love with a robot,' which isn't pleasant.
They are trying to hard to sound futuristic, to the point where the single begins to seem dated.
It's is a long way from Poor Leno.
Hardly a psychedelic revolution as promised, but a good single with a very catchy riff.
Inserting hand claps and warbling into a song does not constitute a good tune, or mean you are Jack White.
Maybe it's a grower, but i think the single is a bit boring.
Broken Records: Until The Earth Begins To Part.
Music for grown ups- very worthy, but a bit too serious.

A+ Episode The Good Wife
The Good Wife 5×05 – Hitting The Fan
by Nadim Safieddine October 29, 2013 September 28, 2017
19 Comments on The Good Wife 5×05 – Hitting The Fan
"It's time I tried something new."
That wasn't just the best episode of TV I've seen all year, it was one of the best hours of television I've seen in my life. This ladies and gentlemen, was a masterpiece.
Watching this episode, I was reminded of Alias' season two masterpiece: Phase One – an episode that shockingly flipped the premise of the show on its head – producing an astounding hour of television in the process. Hitting The Fan is just that – a jawdropping, expertly-realized and riveting hour that takes five seasons worth of storytelling, and brings it all crashing down in a marvelous symphony of brilliance.
The teaser alone is one of the most stressful sequences I've ever watched. The direction is flawless, the staging impeccable, and it's packed with powerhouse performances that elevate the show to whole new level. I've never been Josh Charles' biggest fan, but Will's attack on Alicia is a thing of beauty. Yes it's harrowing (especially when he manhandles the desk), but it's also tremendously gripping. Josh's performance is incredibly layered, and the betrayal and hurt on Will's face is palpable. Margulies is also exceptional in the scene as she struggles to adapt to the onslaught. I don't know what it is about Julianna's charm that makes me root for her no matter what, but she's just one of those people who ooze likeability no matter what they do.
The teaser is bookended by that heart-wrenching scene of Alicia being officially fired and escorted out of the place she called home for so long. And then, she enters the elevator – a location that's been extremely pivotal to the show's DNA – and in one terrific moment, breaks down. Yes, when Alicia cries, we all cry.
Simply put, Alicia Florrick continues to be one of my most favorite characters on television. Her growth over the course of the show's run can not be overlooked, because Alicia has morphed from a reserved woman into a confident, headstrong litigator. The new Alicia was perfectly showcased during that particularly epic moment where she completely obliterated David, Will and Diane after the hearing. It's going to be an utter thrill to watch her use every trick in the book to turn the tables on her mentors. Bring it on.
Also remarkable is the fact that the entire debacle provides Peter with a wealth of fantastic material to tackle for the rest of the season. I was practically giddy with joy during that phenomenal phone-call with Will which felt like a culmination of five seasons worth of tension. It was downright glorious to watch Peter get so protective over Alicia. And now that Will has fired the Governor's wife, Peter can openly hate (and attack) the guy without restraint.
But it's not just Will who's bound to suffer Peter's wrath, because the latter makes it wonderfully clear in the episode closing moments that he's looking for Diane's replacement as Supreme Court Justice. On top of everything else, the Governor purposely appeals to ChumHum so Alicia can win one over Lockhart/Gardner. Yup, not only does this signal a full-on war, it means Peter's ethical dilemmas are going to be simmering at the forefront, and that's going to be fascinating to watch.
Interestingly enough, Kalinda looks like she's going to be our wildcard this year. I felt betrayed myself when she ended up taking Will's side (I pretty much swore at the TV screen as she divulged the office location). However, I also feel like she could be playing some long-term con. She couldn't possibly turn on Cary and her ex-bff so easily right? Whatever happens, it's bound to be more engrossing than that traumatic subplot with her husband (yes, I'll never forget).
Altering all the dynamics and nuances that have been carefully forged in the show's DNA, Hitting The Fan ultimately transforms The Good Wife into a completely different beast. This felt like a series finale, and we're still only five episodes into the season. Suffice to say, the possibilities are endless, and I feel like a kid in a candy store.
Bits & Cases
– Beautiful touch: as Will walks towards Alicia's office, he flashes back to them in bed together. Damn.
– I genuinely felt like Will was about to hit Alicia as he spouted off that she was "poison" and reminded her that he took a chance on her when nobody else did. Not cool dude.
– Carey accidentally revealing ChumHum to Diane was cringeworthy yet so very realistic. But giving her fake names of protected classes? Genius.
– Funniest moment of the hour: David Lee firing people as he hops from room to room. I swear this guy kills me.
– I must commend composer David Buckley for one heck of a gorgeous and affecting musical score. It did an outstanding job of complimenting the episode's various peaks. Kudos.
– Further proof that David Lee is the sleaziest slimeball of all time: his telling clients that Alicia was messing with financials.
– Absolutely adored Alicia distracting Will with Candace and her deposition.She learned from the best huh?
– Amazingly realistic touch: Alicia getting irritated by the coffee-shop's various distractions as Florrick/Agos struggles to come up with a plan.
– As Will and Alicia bicker and tell each other to go to hell, he remembers that Grace needs her (and relays the message). It's a lighthearted moment that does a splendid job of breaking the tension.
– My God this episode title is perfect.
– Seriously, Peter outright telling the "jackass" that he slept with his wife was thoroughly satisfying. "You don't want me and Alicia together." Indeed he doesn't!
– Diane was pretty pathetic, coming in to Eli and making sure her judgeship wasn't going to be affected.
– I absolutely loved how Alicia and co fired back with their own restraining order preventing Lockhart/Gardner from entering the ChumHum meeting in the same manner. And the fact that Alicia obtained it by using a judge who has a grudge against Will? Well that's deviously delightful continuity.
– As evidenced by that insanely hot quickie, Alicia and Peter's marriage is now better than ever. I really have started to root for these two.
– The other Carey flirting with Grace – pervert much?
– Was anyone else really happy to see Alicia and the gang celebrate with champagne? It's scary how much I'm Team Florrick/Agos. Also, will they all be working from Alicia's house until the fumigation claim is done with?
Good Lines
Alicia: We're coming after you. All your clients. Every single one we worked to make happy while you swept in at the last minute to take credit – we're taking them. And then you know what you'll have? A very nice suite of offices.
Peter: I thought you would be out on a ledge somewhere.
Alicia: Oh no, we're too busy kicking ass.
Perfectly paced and across-the-board exhilarating, Hitting The Fan is a singularly perfect hour of television. This is the medium at its finest.
That was one of the best hours of television I've seen in my life every scene was just Emmy worthy it's like gold that hour of the good wife alone makes it Emmy worthy it's a shame that the ratings don't reflect that
Nadim says:
I really do wish the ratings were higher because at this rate, this might be the final season of the show. Nevertheless, at least it will go out on top if that's the case! What a stunning hour.
Liv ia says:
Wow. After introducing me to a few of my favorite shows (Nikita, Scandal, Revenge) I decided to start the Good Wife a few months ago because of your praise of the show.
After this episode let me just say I am so glad and thankful! This was a masterpiece! I adored the opening sequence and the rest wasn't far away. I dind't know it was possible for a law show to be this suspenseful… I cheared when they toasted at the end!
Thank you Nadim for your reviews and your taste 😉
Liv ia thanks so much for your kind words. As I love TV so much, it makes me really happy that you ended up loving all these shows that I recommended. In particular, I'm so glad you loved The Good Wife. This season especially was astounding, and this hour was mindblowing huh? I still remember getting goosebumps while watching it all the way through. Truly one of the single best (if not best) hour of TV ever.
Let me know when you finish the season and keep commenting 🙂 We'll then pick a new show for you to watch! Hehe.
Also, I'm curious. When did you really fall in love with the show since you binge-watched all five seasons. Was it in the first season? Or it took you longer? I remember it starts off slow right?
Oh yes, I got the goosebumps as well!
I'll try to comment a bit more for sure, I like discussing tv shows with others, it's always great to hear different opinions and reactions. Oh and please tell me what to watch next!!
Well, you're right, the first season was a bit slow and I think I really started to like the show maybe in the early second season when you start knowing all the characters and you have the same guest stars all the time. I think this is what makes this show so special (I'm a huuuuuuge fan of Elsbeth Tascioni and Sweeney). I am not such a fan of the case-of-the-week / freak-of-the-week stories, I want characters to develop and The Good Wife did a lot of that which is great. How about you? Who's your favorite guest star?
Yes I love that the guest-stars keep reappearing. It really helps create the world and bring it to life. Elsbeth is my favorite as well 🙂 She's just amazing!
I recommend Alias next. My all-time favorite if you haven't watched it. Very close to Nikita! If you have watched it, then try Dark Angel (only two seasons and also one of my all-time favorites).
Haha! I watched Alias before Nikita and when I finished it, I was really depressed. I heard Nikita was similar so that's how I got to the best show ever. I also watched Dark Angel already and absolutely loved it as well. It's gonna be tough to find a new show for me ^^ I really liked Dollhouse as well. A shame it got only 2 seasons.
No way, that's awesome that you watched them. Indeed Alias, Nikita, Dark Angel and Dollhouse, all have such similar elements and I love each of them in different ways.
Are you watching Arrow? Alongside The Good Wife, it's one of my favorite shows on TV. Again a slow start but gets great so I'm pretty sure you'll like it too.
Marvin omar says:
The best episode that I have watched so far! Hope this season brings more shock
Chris Chedrawi says:
Perfectly stated. THIS SHOW…MY GOD, THIS SHOWWW!! I'm speechless!
There's literally nothing more I could possibly say. It's such a privilege to watch this show, I'm seriously kicking myself for not starting it back when it was still on the air. I really want to feel that "one week break" between episodes (especially after this one) just so I could bask in the glory and be able to breathe for a second. Television at its true finest.
One small detail I frickin loved: how Will confiscating Alicia's phone early on ended up being quite significant –Grace called her mom and Will answered– and then Will and Alicia having a somewhat tender moment "oh and your daughter called, she needs you to call the school" RIGHT in the middle of their screaming match.
Of course I find myself siding with Alicia and Carey a loooot more, and I'm glad the show secretly wants us to be Team Alicia/Carey (the toast at the end gave me goosebumps). Alicia IS the show after all.
Thanks for recommending; love how these reviews are keeping me company! (Although I'm pissed you didn't force me to watch this MUCH earlier)
hahah i've been nagging on you for so long. TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH! Finally! I feel like rewatching this. Still my favorite hour of TV EVER! So perfect in every way I get chills!
It's really amazing how every character's action is so earned. I can see the writers building up to this moment for 5 years. Unlike Murder or Suits or any other legal show like that, it's not meant just for the shocks or the ratings.

Did Trump Lock-Up 2020 In One Speech?
President Trump correctly identified the issues at bar in 2020 as the American dream versus the socialist nightmare. Democrats are already helping President Trump put their socialism on trial by embracing socialist candidates, and by ratcheting-up the socialist rhetoric. It is up to us conservatives to make sure Trump obtains the conviction.
Inflation-adjusted disposable income rose 4.2 percent, last quarter, and America's working families are seeing a continued gain in their disposable income, and thus a continued improvement in their quality of life. This is not only good news for America's working families, it is good political news for President Trump, which is probably why it was buried by the establishment news media.
Our friend David Franke shares President Donald Trump's report card for a class in Political Performance 101—an elective in both the theater/performance art department and the political science department of Franke University. Understood in this way, Prof. Franke gave President Trump a grade of A+.
The American workers Donald Trump promised to fight for are the real winners of the Trump economic boom. Good news for Americans is death to the Democrat Party, and that is why in their coverage of President Trump's State of the Union message most of the establishment media could not get beyond the shenanigans of the white-clad Democratic congresswomen.
Why would a poor, already welfare-dependent city want to import more poor, welfare-dependent immigrants from foreign countries? It will come as no surprise that joining the City of Baltimore in the suit is Democracy Forward, a Soros aligned organization that has sued the Trump administration on multiple occasions.
About 56 percent of households headed by foreign refugees who arrived in the U.S. between 2011 and 2015 are using taxpayer-funded food stamps. President Trump's administration has historically reduced the annual inflow of foreign refugees. Under Trump's "America First" agenda, the U.S. is on pace to accept less than 23,000 refugees for the Fiscal Year 2018. This would be the lowest yearly refugee admission in three decades.
Vast numbers of Sudanese immigrants are on welfare and Sudan is so violent that the U.S. Embassy requires U.S. government personnel in Sudan to use armored vehicles for all travel, yet the country was inexplicably taken off the travel ban list.
The false narrative being spread to the Catholic faithful that capitalism is wrong is the fault of the leadership of the Catholic Church that has increasingly become a left-leaning ideological mouthpiece instead of fulfilling its role of providing spiritual guidance consistent with the Bible.
Obama rules guiding who can get food stamps favor households with illegal immigrants over all-U.S. citizen homes, according to the detailed report from the Center for Immigration Studies released Monday.
How to be dependent on government is now one of the earliest life lessons America is teaching nearly a supermajority of children.
After a legal battle with several advocacy groups, New Mexico's Human Servs. Dept. announced that it'd restart the rulemaking process, delaying the reinstatement of the work requirement, originally slated for Nov. 1, by several months.
Are The "Takers" Taking Over America?
On everything from subsidies for Obamacare to food stamps to Social Security Disability, the bill keeps getting bigger, but the percentage of Americans willing and able to pay it keeps getting smaller.
Just one month after passage of the farm bill designed to slim food stamp payments, governors in six states have found a way to to keep hundreds of millions of dollars flowing to food stamp recipients, a sum that could total more than $8 billion over the next decade.
Next week you will probably receive an email pitch about their "immigration reform" plan from establishment Republican "leaders," such as Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, Budget Chairman Paul Ryan or Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus. It will be a scam. Click here to demand your Congressman sign our "No Amnesty Pledge" today.
How can you square an increase in government dependence, a shrinking labor force and endemic long term unemployment with an economic "recovery?" You can't unless you look at it in political, not economic terms.
The ongoing expansion of dependency on federal entitlements like SNAP (food stamps) not only makes its victims more likely to vote for politicians promising them more handouts, but also keeps them from looking for work and thereby counting as "unemployed" for purposes of the Bureau of Labor Statistics' monthly employment reports.
"What kind of perspective must you have to equate 444,000 new Medicaid recipients with success? This is 91.5 million human beings not working. There isn't work for them, and 48 million on food stamps."

Did you know Aamir Khan chopped off a Katrina Kaif song in Dhoom 3?
Katrina Kaif had rehearsed for the song for over a month.
Dhoom 3 was one of the biggest hits of 2013. The YRF venture starred Katrina Kaif and Aamir Khan as the new entries in the franchise, while Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra reprised their roles from the previous films. It was promoted to be bigger and better than the previous two films, and certainly it was. But well, here is a blast from the past. Aamir, who is notorious for interfering with the editing process and creative decisions of his movies, snatched Katrina off of a very important sequence. Despite not having a strong role, fans loved Katrina for her performance in Dhoom 3. Her dance in Kamli and Malang were especially well received. But from what we hear, we were to see more of Katrina's backstory through a song, but it never saw the light of day courtesy, Aamir Khan.
Katrina essayed the role of the ambitious and gold-hearted acrobat Aliya in Dhoom 3. Our source reveals that this song centred solely on her character. The setting of the song was such – after getting to know Aamir well enough, Katrina takes him on a tour of her life before him. She sings, she dances, and she does kickass acrobatics and narrates her story through the song. But guess what? Aamir didn't think the song went with the flow of the film, and hence it ended up being chopped off. Ouch!
Katrina had rehearsed for the song for over a month. She practised her dance moves and stunts to perfection. There was even a complicated stunt involving a trapezium for which the actress did not even use a body double. She shot for it with utmost zeal and gave it her 100 percent. Imagine her horror when she was told about the song's ultimate fate. She just received a call one fine night, informing her of the "creative decision".
This was not the first time Katrina had faced a problem like this with YRF. She was supposed to be a part of Ranbir Kapoor-Deepika Padukone starrer Bachna Ae Haseeno as well. But makers had to cut her storyline before she could even shoot it. Director Sidharth Anand confirmed in an interview, in 2008, that Katrina's track was cut as it was lengthening the film a bit too much. He was obviously "upset" about it. Kat took the news of being dropped from the film very sportingly. The case was not the same with the song in Dhoom 3. We hear that she was left heartbroken after learning about the new development.
If you never see Katrina and Aamir together in a film again, don't be surprised.

New figures reveal drop in fires as London Fire Brigade publishes 'The Year in Fires'
The number of fires and the number of people who lost their lives to fire in London fell this year, according to initial figures released today by London Fire Brigade. The figures are revealed as the Brigade publishes its review of 2011's most notable incidents.
In the last year, there were around 26,000 fires in the capital, a fall of three per cent on 2010. There were 55 fire related fatalities. Early expectations are that fire related fatalities will be down by five per cent. The number of other incidents such as road traffic accidents, floods, animal rescues, chemical incidents and false alarms, also fell by six per cent to around 31,000 incidents in 2011. However, there have been around 780 serious injuries in fires so far in 2011. Expectations are that serious fire related injuries will be up by around six per cent.
London Fire Commissioner, Ron Dobson, said: "It's good news that the number of fires and fire deaths has fallen but we will never be complacent. Any fire death is one too many and we will continue to work hard to ensure that the numbers keep going down.
"The fall in fires is mainly due to the hard work our firefighters do in carrying out vital fire safety work in communities across the capital. In particular, by ensuring that as many homes have smoke alarms as possible. Smoke alarms can and do save homes and lives, it's as simple as that."
The Brigade has also published a month-by-month review of the major incidents and campaigns it has been involved in this year. The most high profile incidents the capital's fire crews have been called out to include a tragic blaze in Neasden that claimed the lives of a mother and five of her children; a large fire under the M1that caused travel chaos for several days and a fire at the Hilton Hotel on Park Lane which saw celebrities and VIPs evacuated from the five star hotel.

'The Sweeter Science: A Look at Women's Boxing' Now Available in e-Book Format on Amazon.com & BN.com!
NEW YORK – Now available in eBook format for the Kindle and Nook, The Sweeter Science: A Look at Women's Boxing takes readers inside this often unappreciated aspect of the sport.
Featuring a collection of stories by award-winning boxing writer Thomas Gerbasi compiled from 1998 to the present, this book featuring profiles of Christy Martin, Laila Ali, Lucia Rijker, Mia St. John, and Holly Holm, along with in-depth features on some of the most compelling athletes you may have never heard of.
For fans of boxing and women's sports, this is an inside look at the sweeter science practiced by the ladies of the fight game.
Thomas Gerbasi has covered combat sports for various publications for over a decade. An award-winning member of the Boxing Writers Association of America, his work has also appeared in TheDailyBeast.com, Rolling Stone Australia, The Independent, YahooSports.com, ESPN.com, MSNCanada, Inked, and KING magazine. His amateur boxing record was 0-1.


Organizations need to stop using buzz phrases like "we empower" while deploying a deficit-based framework to their community engagement. This is also known as the "savior-complex". A couple of months back, I had to sit through a presentation where a bunch of rich folks attempted to mentor first generation college students saying they "had no role models in their lives, and needed successful people to show them the way through their mentorship program." As a first generation immigrant, a person of color, and the first in my family to have gone to college and graduate school, listening to this was painful to say the least. I thought of my parents as role models, and devaluing their worth just because they did not go to college is incredibly dehumanizing.
To put it bluntly, it is harmful to prescribe false narratives around the lives of underrepresented people. When you deploy a deficit-based community engagement strategy, you're perpetuating negative societal stereotypes instead of deconstructing them; while adding value to your own societal status. Your privilege is part of the problem. The world already devalues people of color and first generation college students; we don't need another pity party taking advantage of our oppression to acquire gold stars on your resume to land your next job.
I am not saying that we shouldn't attempt to provide first generation college students with access to information, but how you go about doing this is critical in shaping ones self-worth. Use an asset-based framework instead, build upon strengths and know that they have the ability to empower themselves without your "saving". Most importantly, acknowledge the fact that you do not understand their lived experiences.
As the first in my family to have navigated college, I had to function as a self-starter because information was never readily available to me. I created spaces for myself, and eventually launched my own organization. My life involved a multitude of trial and error attempts before eventually getting something right, and I motivated myself by consistently looking for silver-linings in my failures. You might think that I'm probably doing a really bad job at selling myself right now, but if we applied an asset-based framework this isn't a bad thing. Organizations look for problem-solvers and self-starters. Because information was never handed to us throughout our lives, we've had to problem-solve on a day-to-day basis to navigate a system that wasn't set up for us to succeed. Organizations also look for people who can juggle multiple projects under high pressure; well, many first generation college students have juggled multiple jobs while studying to make ends meet. We're intrinsically motivated despite failures, and we possess a drive that makes us great leaders. So why aren't we in more leadership positions?
It's time we re-evaluate community engagement strategies and our hiring practices. Is your organization also working on deconstructing structural and institutional inequities, or are you actually perpetuating oppression?

Lincoln man with cerebral palsy sets shot put sights on Rio
Photo: Lee Cupit
A Lincoln man with cerebral palsy has been shortlisted to compete in the Rio Paralympic games and is raising money for his travels so he can compete.
Lee Cupit, 21, from Coleby, has suffered from cerebral palsy since birth. He has limited movement in the right side of his body and has no feeling in his right arm.
But despite his disorder, Lee has always found great pleasure in sports.
At the age of 12, after trying a plethora of different sports ranging from swimming, to powerlifting and wheelchair rugby, Lee finally found his dream sport, the shot put.
With his disability, the journey wasn't easy, but Lee feels that it was worth it.
He said: "It made me into who I am today, meeting other people with disabilities has given me confidence and helped me to talk about my own disability."
Surprisingly, the sport itself isn't the hardest challenge that Lee faces, it's the preparation.
Due to his cerebral palsy Lee has limited grip in his right hand and finds it hard to tie his shoelaces, but after 21 years of practice, he's making progress.
"It's all about your personal state of mind, anything is possible. I've been trying 21 years to tie my shoe laces and I'm finally starting to get there.
"You have to be in the right frame of mind to succeed, at first I started just for fun, but when 2012 started approaching I got serious, last year I became a full time professional.
"It's all about getting people into sport, if you don't try it you'll never know if you are good enough."
In 2012 Lee narrowly missed out on the Paralympics in London because they did not include his category – F38, however, he now competes in the F37 category, which will be featured in the Paralympics in Rio.
Lee is currently training with two time Commonwealth champion, two time European champion, and three time Olympian Geoff Capes at Geoff Capes Throwing Academy, where he is the only disabled member in the squad.
"Geoff is an amazing trainer, he comes across as a harsh man, but he has a heart of gold," Lee said.

He feels that the squad's support has really helped him work towards his dream, and he has now been shortlisted to compete in the 2016 Paralympics in Rio.
With rankings such as 1st in the under 23s in Britain, 2nd in the under 23s in Europe and 9th in the world senior rankings in his F37 category, Lee is confident that he will be chosen to compete.
However, Lee's funds are low due to training and equipment, with the athlete training six days a week.
Lee is looking to raise £250 to be able to travel to Rio for the Paralympic games, and currently has £30 towards his goal.
People can help him complete his dream by donating on his Just Giving page here.

Eberle, Donald Northcutt, Plaintiffs-appellants, v. Walter J. Kruger, Iii, Fisher & Phillips, Defendants-appellees, 930 F.2d 34 (10th Cir. 1991)
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit - 930 F.2d 34 (10th Cir. 1991) March 7, 1991
Before STEPHEN H. ANDERSON, TACHA and BRORBY, Circuit Judges.
ORDER AND JUDGMENT*
TACHA, Circuit Judge.
After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 10th Cir.R. 34.1.9. The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.
This appeal is from an order of the district court dismissing plaintiffs' amended complaint asserting claims for malicious prosecution and abuse of process. Plaintiffs allege the district court erred in finding the voluntary dismissal of a prior action was not a resolution in favor of plaintiffs and thus concluding they could not state a claim for malicious prosecution. Plaintiffs also contend the court erred in finding that the complaint stated no claim for abuse of process. We affirm.
This lawsuit charges attorney Walter J. Kruger and the law firm of Fisher & Phillips ("defendants") with malicious prosecution and abuse of process. These allegations stem from a 1988 lawsuit between Ideal Basic Industries, Inc. and four of its employees and their union. Defendants are the attorney and law firm who represented Ideal in that litigation. Three of the employees who were defendants in the 1988 lawsuit are plaintiffs in this action.
The 1988 lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed by consent order entered June 2, 1989. This order reflected Ideal's agreement that it would not challenge the dismissal of the 1988 lawsuit as a resolution "in favor of" the employees. Following this dismissal, plaintiffs pursued a malicious prosecution action against Ideal which resulted in a jury verdict in favor of plaintiffs. This verdict, however, was set aside by the trial court.
Plaintiffs then filed this action against defendants based on their participation in the 1988 lawsuit. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss on both counts, which the court granted. We review the district court's dismissal of this action de novo. See Morgan v. City of Rawlins, 792 F.2d 975, 978 (10th Cir. 1986). We will uphold the dismissal only if plaintiffs can prove no set of facts in support of their claim entitling them to relief. See Meade v. Grubbs, 841 F.2d 1512, 1526 (10th Cir. 1988).
Malicious prosecution actions are not favored and courts interpret the elements of this cause of action narrowly. See Glasgow v. Fox, 757 P.2d 836, 838-39 (Okla.1988). The district court correctly determined the "favorable determination" element was not satisfied in this case. Young v. First State Bank, 628 P.2d 707, 709 (Okla.1981). Ideal's promise not to challenge the dismissal of the 1988 lawsuit as a resolution "in favor of" plaintiffs does not bind these defendants with respect to this malicious prosecution claim. See Firefighters Local No. 93 v. City of Cleveland, 478 U.S. 501, 529 (1986).
The district court also correctly concluded the complaint in this action fails to state a claim for abuse of process. Plaintiffs failed to plead and prove an essential element of this cause of action: a willful misuse of process. See Tulsa Radiology Associates, Inc. v. Hickman, 683 P.2d 537, 539 (Okla.Ct.App.1984). We agree with the district court's conclusion that plaintiffs' contention that the 1988 lawsuit was intended to cause the abandonment of lawful and valid workers' compensation claims was legally insufficient. The filing of a lawsuit for an improper purpose or motive alone is not an abuse of process. See Gore v. Taylor, 792 P.2d 432, 435 (Okla.Ct.App.1990). The order of the district court dismissing this action is AFFIRMED for substantially the reasons given by that court. The mandate shall issue forthwith.
This order and judgment has no precedential value and shall not be cited, or used by any court within the Tenth Circuit, except for purposes of establishing the doctrines of the law of the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel. 10th Cir.R. 36.3

It's been a couple months since I wrote part one of this series. And although you likely wouldn't know it from anywhere outside of my head, I've been riding a very bumpy roller coaster.
It turns out writing (and my perception of "how it's going") have a pretty big impact on my inner thought life. When the words are flowing and / or I have a big idea break through, it feels like all is right in the world and I have a lot of energy to tackle my regular non-writing life. And, basically, the opposite of this situation is also true.
This surprised me. In general, I am fairly impervious to - well, most everything. Healthy or not, I can usually set aside my concerns and feelings fairly easily, get on with life, and just come back to them at a more convenient time. (Yep, I'm a 5 on the Enneagram.) But this writing gig seems to get to me. This is new for me and I don't particularly like it , but I think it is probably a healthier way to go through life than my usual.
My first book writing goal was to have a rough draft of 50,000 words. My plan was to write five days per week (even if it was just a short 15 or 30 minute burst) starting at the end of December and I hoped to reach my word count by the end of March.
As of February 15th, I was hovering right around 18,000 words - a number that had somehow remained static for almost six weeks. I would write and then delete and then add a new section and then decide a previous section no longer fit and on and on. Despite a lot of writing, my word count wasn't adding up.
I finally decided that I needed to release some (okay a lot!) of my expectations to make it "good" on the first round and just get on with it. I had to drastically alter my idea of what a first draft would look like. Honestly, it feels weird to even call it a draft, because it feels like more of a brain dump than any sort of cohesive story.
But guess what. It worked.
I kept a rather obsessive spreadsheet of chapter word counts and a running total. And on March 18th, I hit my goal.
After several outline revisions, I ended up with 14 themes / chapters.
My next job will be to go through each document and pull all of the ideas into coherent paragraphs, add some illustrative stories and work on the flow.
I have no idea how long this will take, but I can say that I am quite excited about this step. I have already started working on chapters one and two and - wow! - this part is fun.
It's a book about motherhood and the lessons I've learned in the time I've been a mom - lessons of letting go of and allowing myself to grieve for my former self, lessons of surrendering and sacrifice and love, lessons of learning who I am as a mom and finding ways to honor my own needs through the days when life feels overwhelmingly filled with the needs of kids.
I hope to, in one way or another, get my final product published.
But for now, my bigger hope is to complete a manuscript that I can feel proud to put my name on. I want to see this mess of thoughts, feelings and words be transformed into a final product that is readable and relatable and helpful to other mamas.
In the time between now and whenever "part three" of this book writing series is written, you can trust that I am enjoying the challenge and working my little heart out.


We feel so very blessed this holiday season. We have two very special little boys in our life and love them dearly. In February of this year we brought home Erick, 8 years old, and Mario, 5 years old, from Guatemala. Our adoption of these two little guys has been such a blessing to us, we wanted to share our story and encourage others to consider the adoption of older children, especially boys.
Adoption is not new to our family. In addition to a grown biological daughter, Alisa, we have two adopted daughters from Korea. Rachel was adopted 20 years ago at the age of 4 1/2 and Elisabeth was adopted 18 years ago at the age of 3 1/2. We decided it was time we had a boy in our family, so we made the decision to embark on the adoption journey again, confident we would have our little boy in just a few short months with only one short to trip to Guatemala (did I mention I hate to fly) and everything going smoothly and problem free. How wrong we were! Two trips to Guatemala and 16 months later we came home with not one, but TWO little boys! Our adoption experience was a combination of joy and sorrow, frustration and delight, but it was an adventure we wouldn't hesitate to repeat..
After much frustration with getting our needed paperwork for our dossier (among other things, we had to wait six weeks for my husband's birth certificate from Texas, and the passport office lost all his paperwork), our dossier went to Guatemala on January 29. On January 31 we got our referral! We were told that TWO little boys had been selected for us! The incredible thing was that I had already been thinking about adopting a second little boy and we had just bought a big bunkbed with a double bed on the bottom. I kept thinking "what a lot of bed for one little boy". The Lord worked it out perfectly for us.
We got our first pictures of our boys on our anniversary and had the joy of spending Father's Day with them in Guatemala. They were just delightful. They were so happy and excited we had come to see them and kept telling everyone "our Mami and Papi are here! Our Mami and Papi came to see us!" We spent a happy two days visiting with them at the orphanage.
Eight months later we flew to Guatemala for a second time and spent a wonderful 50 days in our boys' birth country enjoying the sights and beautiful weather. We went to the zoo, the Children's Museum, to Antigua, and spent a lot of time eating, shopping and getting to know our two little bundles of energy.
Now nine months later the boys are settled in and enjoying America. They are speaking English and love pizza and McDonald's just like other kids. Erick is in 1st grade and learning to read, he is especially good at math, and he loves school. Mario is in pre-school three days a week and learning the letters of the alphabet and their sounds. He too loves school and is so disappointed on the days he doesn't have school. They are such sweet, affectionate little boys who love to help around the house. Erick's teacher describes him as respectful, obedient, and highly motivated. They are active and energetic, good at sports and loved by everyone at school and church. God has truly blessed us beyond our wildest dreams with a DOUBLE blessing.

Bandai Namco recently revealed a mysterious game with title "Projekt1514." It recently released a teaser trailer for the said game. It turns out the mystery game cloaked in another name is "Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet". Here are the latest details about the upcoming anime game with a new gameplay trailer.
Recently, the gaming community has been intrigued with the latest announcement from Bandai Namco Entertainment. Projekt 1514 was announced through a teaser trailer that was recently released.
Aside from it was developed by Dimps and is a sight of a post-apocalyptic cityscape, nothing more can be dissected from it.
Meanwhile, the company has also revealed recently that it will release a new RPG game in the early part of 2018. Interestingly, Game Jouhou via Siliconera recently spotted an initial video suggesting that the mysterious Projekt 1514 is actually "Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet" using the same logo. The video was quickly taken down. When Bandai Namco officially revealed the trailer for the upcoming anime game, the previous claim was proven correct.
The upcoming game made by Dimps and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment will be a third-person hybrid action shooter title with some RPG elements. The game is based on the popular anime of the same title. It will allow players to use both gun and sword as its gameplay mechanics. The game story will be penned by the renowned anime creator Reki Kawahara. Most likely, the story will be influenced by the anime's second season and will be set in the digital world of Gun Gale Online.
The game will utilize Unreal Engine 4 and boasts of its robust environment and textures. In this game, players can challenge tough bosses that will require friends in co-op. There is also a 4-on-4 battle that players can try. Moreover, the game will have realistic weapons and players will be equipped with unique skills.
The upcoming third-person hybrid action shooter title will be released in North America in the early part of 2018. It will be released on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. This is the first time a "SAO" game will be released on Xbox One as it is usually released in the home of the anime games, PlayStation 4.
A new gameplay for "Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet" has been shared by Dengeki Online. It is an 8-minute gameplay is in Japanese but it will give fans the idea of what to expect in the upcoming game aside from the previous trailer that was released by Bandai Namco.

Ged Caddick's Terra Incognita Ecotours Company Changes Lives of Travelers, Communities
Gerard "Ged" Caddick, founder Terra Incognita Ecotours, with Jane Goodall.
Charitable vacations are very popular right now as more and more people long to give something back to the incredible places they visit in exchange for the once-in-a-lifetime bucket-list experience these places give to them.
One of those offering life-changing charitable vacations is Ged Caddick who launched his ecotour company, Terra Incognita Ecotours. with the dumbfounding mission – to give his profits away! With a Masters Degree in Wildlife Ecology from the University of Florida, Ged has always been motivated by his passion for making a difference.
After successfully working in wildlife conservation, he launched Terra Incognita Ecotours, a Florida-based travel company with a massive, but simple mission – to give back.
Nine years later, Ged has donated more than $130,000 to charities in more than 7 countries, literally changing lives each and every time he gets on an airplane.
"The business model I created for Terra Incognita isn't based on profits, like most businesses are. We measure success by how much we're able to give away – the more the better," says Ged.
So how does he do it? Every ecotour isn't just an adventure of a lifetime – it's a way for travelers to give back to the communities that so graciously host them for a day, a week or even a month. With destinations like Belize, Borneo, Brazil, China, India, Kenya, Rwanda, Madagascar and Tanzania, Ged's ecotours attract travelers who want to visit the most exotic parts of the globe with an expert guide to show them the way.
"My clients want an incredible experience, but they are thoughtful and responsible," says Ged. "They want to visit communities in the most remote parts of the world and not just take an experience with them, they want to give something back, too. A percentage of every person's tour goes directly and immediately back to a conservation partner in the areas we visit."
Ged doesn't just donate a check at the end of each year. He takes all of his travelers right to the organization to which they are contributing. In Rwanda, his tours visit the Gorilla Doctors, a non-profit group of veterinarians responsible for keeping the highly endangered Mountain Gorilla population healthy
Ged doesn't just donate a check at the end of each year. He takes all of his travelers right to the organization to which they are contributing. In Rwanda, his tours visit the Gorilla Doctors, a non-profit group of veterinarians responsible for keeping the highly endangered Mountain Gorilla population healthy. They also visit the genocide museum to learn about the country's past, giving his guests a glimpse of the enormous and seemingly insurmountable obstacles Rwandans have overcome in just 20 years.
"I was humbled by the experiences on my Rwandan adventure," says Susannah Smith, a recent ecotour traveler. "Not only did Ged show us wild gorillas, which is an awe-inspiring experience in and of itself, but he introduced us to Rwandans – people who have experienced unimaginable tragedy, but remain welcoming, warm and overwhelmingly friendly. I got more out of the trip than I ever could have imagined!"
Terra Incognita's ecotours do more than just give back financially. Every planned tour gives meticulous attention to environmental and sustainable responsibility. Ged's guiding principles are to minimize impact and to build and foster environmental and cultural awareness and respect. He provides positive experiences for both visitors and hosts.
"The Mountain Gorilla hikes could be difficult," explains Susannah. "But since we only carried a day pack, we felt like we could carry our own packs. Ged explained that he had hired porters to carry our packs – not because we needed the help, but to support the local economy. In a country where most families survive on only $2 per day, being a porter is a lucrative career. When we heard other travellers opting not to hire a porter, we told them what Ged had explained to us, and they hired a porter right away. It's the small things that make a big difference."
"The more I give, the more it encourages others to give. The inspiring people in each of the incredible countries we visit need the money more than I do. They've faced hardships I could never image; yet they are still so warm and welcoming. I can't think of a better way to earn a living."
About Terra Incognita Ecotours
Gerard "Ged" Caddick founded Terra Incognita ECOTOURS in 2004 after more than 15 years of working in the Expedition Travel industry. Ged has led many trips for Lindblad Expeditions, International Expeditions, World Wildlife Fund, National Geographic Society and the American Museum of Natural History as well as many College Alumni groups, the National Audubon Society and the Smithsonian Institution. He also lived in Belize, Central America for a number of years in the late 1980's and worked in the conservation of endangered species for twelve years before becoming involved in the expedition travel industry. It is this mix of expedition travel (a.k.a. ecotourism) and conservation that has helped to shape Terra Incognita Ecotours.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you go? Whatever your answer, Nice Architects' new 'Ecocapsule' could make that a reality.
Six years in development, the Ecocapsule generates its own clean energy and can be situated anywhere; from tundra to city, woodland to seashore. It started as a small housing unit for artists back in 2008 and has evolved into the self-sufficient pod we see now, fully equipped with the necessary systems for long-term independence.
Marrying form and function with a modern aesthetic, everything about the Ecocapsule is designed with efficiency in mind. The curved shape allows for the collection of rainwater, which is filtered for human consumption. Solar cells – which cover the roof – and a retractable 750W wind turbine provide reusable energy, charging the onboard batteries. As it complies with shipping container regulations, it is simple to transport. (Though plans to add a wheeled chassis for greater mobility are in the works.) The 8 sq m interior may seem a little less than modest, but the capsule houses all the essentials of a comfortable living space: a folding bed, a workspace/dining area, en-suite bathroom, kitchenette and storage.
Since being unveiled at the Pioneers Festival in Vienna a few weeks ago, the functional pod has captured the imagination of thousands. Preorders have reached well into triple digits – significant kudos for a product not due to hit the market for another year.
The obvious benefits of a ready-made home like this clearly and immediately relate to modern urban problems – housing shortages in high rent areas, for example – but it's possible use in emergency situations, like earthquakes, could be far more interesting and significant.

What's going on in some Jewish schools may shock you
By Vaad Harabbanim(A7) Teachers and students were shocked last year to hear of the near-passing of a 15-year-old 8th grader named Leah Levine.
Despite her young age, Leah had not had an easy life: Her parents had divorced when she was younger, and she grew up in a home full of severe mental health issues. The sweet little girl grew progressively more inward, but family members had no idea that she was enduring torturous levels of bullying at school.
The taunting reached a crescendo when another girl told Leah that she should "just kill herself." And so, thinking that at just 15-year-old she had no hope, she tried. Miraculously, Leah was found and rescued. Doctors, however, were convinced that she could only survive in a completely new environment.
Professionals urged her to leave her school and community immediately, and go to Israel, where a high school that specializes in at-risk girls could provide her with the therapy and support she needs.
The teenager put on a brave face and flew away from all the friends she had ever known, arriving this month to live in Israel. Unbeknownst to her, there was another crisis underway: Her family cannot afford her tuition.
A touching letter was written by Leah's brother, on a page started to raise money for her schooling. Tuition is a staggering $30,000, not including other expenses necessary to provide for the young girl's needs.
"She has her whole life ahead of her," writes older brother Menachem about his once-bubbly little sister. "She just needs a second chance."
Money is being raised via the Chesed Fund to cover Leah's tuition, and save her life.
Details changed to protect the family's privacy.

Das Kloster Daphni, auch Dafni geschrieben, () bei Athen gehört zusammen mit den Klöstern Hosios Lukas bei Delphi und Nea Moni auf Chios zu den drei wichtigsten byzantinischen Sakralbauten des 11. Jahrhunderts in Griechenland. Es befindet sich neun Kilometer westnordwestlich des Stadtzentrums von Athen an einem niedrigen Pass durch das Egaleo-Gebirge bei dem zur Gemeinde Chaidari gehörenden Vorort Dafni. Es ist insbesondere für seine Mosaiken bekannt und seit 1990 UNESCO-Welterbe.

Der Name "Daphni" () bedeutet 'Lorbeer', die heilige Pflanze des Gottes Apollon.

Geschichte
In der Antike stand an der Stelle des Klosters vermutlich ein antikes Heiligtum des Gottes Apollon. Im 5. Jahrhundert wurde an diesem Ort eine frühchristliche Kirche erbaut, die um 1080 durch die heutige Anlage ersetzt wurde. 1206 wurde sie in der Folge des Vierten Kreuzzugs von Otto de la Roche, Großherr von Theben und Athen, dem Zisterzienserorden übergeben, genauer Mönchen des Klosters Bellevaux, das sein Urgroßvater in der Franche-Comté gegründet hatte. Dies war Teil des Vorhabens von Otto, ein lateinisches Kirchensystem in seiner Herrschaft einzuführen, ebenso wie sein Familienkloster. Die Zisterzienser blieben bis 1458 (siehe Zisterzienserkloster Daphni).

Seit dem Beginn der türkischen Besetzung Athens 1458 war das Kloster wieder von orthodoxen Mönchen bewohnt, welche bis 1821 große Beiträge zum nationalen Befreiungskampf leisteten. Das Kloster Daphni verfiel jedoch und wurde 1821 noch unter osmanischer Verwaltung aufgelöst.

Im 19. Jahrhundert beherbergte die Anlage für kurze Zeit ein Sanatorium.

Die Klosteranlage wurde 1990 in die Liste des Weltkulturerbes der UNESCO aufgenommen. 1999 wurde sie bei einem Erdbeben schwer beschädigt und wird seitdem einer langwierigen Renovierung unterzogen. Seit dem 15. Oktober 2008 ist zumindest der Klosterhof wieder zugänglich.

Beim Kloster findet alljährlich im Herbst ein bei Touristen beliebtes Weinfest statt, wo der süße Mavrodafni verkostet werden kann.

Mosaiken
In der Kirche hat sich einer der bedeutendsten byzantinischen Mosaikzyklen des 11. Jahrhunderts erhalten. Die szenischen Darstellungen gehören zu einem Festtagszyklus. Die Mitte der Kuppel nimmt ein Bild des Christus Pantokrator ein, in der Zone darunter zwischen den Fenstern befinden sich stehende Propheten. Die Penditifs zeigen die Verkündigung an Maria, Christi Geburt, die Taufe Christi und die Verklärung Christi. Im nördlichen Kreuzarm findet sich die Geburt Mariae, der Einzug in Jerusalem, die Kreuzigung Christi und die Begegnung mit dem ungläubigen Thomas, im südlichen Kreuzarm die Anbetung der Magier und die Anastasis, an der Westwand des Naos sind noch Reste der Koimesis erhalten.

Im Narthex befinden sich das Gebet von Joachim und Anna, Mariae Tempelgang, die Fußwaschung, Reste der Abendmahlsdarstellung und der Verrat des Judas.

Q: On-Prem SharePoint 2013-Exchange 2013 Task Sync not working How do I troubleshoot the task sync? I followed instructions and I believe the EWS API is installed OK and the trust relationship is there. Both SharePoint and Exchange are on-prem 2013 with the latest CUs.
I get:

"We weren't able to sync your tasks. This could be because your
mailbox is on an Exchange server that isn't supported for syncing
tasks. Please contact your admin..."

There is a correlation ID but I honestly do not know what you can do with that. I assume it is in some log file?
Autodiscover Command

Name                           : EXCHANGE13
AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri : https://exchange.xyz.com/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml

From ULS:

04/09/2018 13:55:58.68 w3wp.exe (0x1F04)   0x06B8  SharePoint Server Search    Exchange Integration    ah9c2   Medium  AutodiscoverLocalException: Autodiscover blocked a potentially insecure redirection to https://exchange.xyz.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml. To allow Autodiscover to follow the redirection, use the AutodiscoverUrl(string, AutodiscoverRedirectionUrlValidationCallback) overload. 0adf5b9e-fc44-a017-22e1-e9a3888bda7d

Using:

Get-ClientAccessServer |fl identity,autodiscoverserviceinternaluri

The output is now:

Identity                       : EXCHANGE13
AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri : https://autodiscover.xyz.com/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml

I have a host name of autodiscover pointed to the IP of the server. The cert is OK as it is a wildcard.

A: 1.Make sure User profile synchronization server is up and running .
2.Make sure you have Work Management service application running for your SharePoint Farm .
3.You also need have Search service Application
Follow the article to configure sync task from here .
Additional ,You need to check and verify the AD domain is added as an accepted domain in Exchange .

A: In my case I had turned off TLS 1.0 and that was causing this issue.

Defendant acquitted and immediately arrested on new gun charges
On behalf of Ihrie O'Brien posted in Criminal Defense on Friday, March 31, 2017.
A Michigan man managed to beat the odds and was acquitted of some heavy charges, ranging from torture and solicitation of murder to assault and unlawful imprisonment -- but found himself right back in prison at the end of the trial.
This time, his incarceration is due to federal firearms charges. Police discovered a firearm in his possession during the investigation into the other charges. The defendant has a prior felony conviction, which makes it illegal for him to be in possession of a gun -- even though he claims that it belongs to his ex-wife. Authorities also believe that he crossed state lines with the weapon.
Under the law, it doesn't really matter who the owner of the gun actually is -- what matters is that the defendant had physical control over the weapon.
There isn't enough information in the news yet about the specifics to indicate what sort of penalty the defendant could face, but it's likely to be severe. Under federal guidelines, there are mandatory minimum sentences that are imposed based on a complex combination of factors:
-- The number of the defendant's prior felony convictions
-- The type of felony convictions the defendant has, with violent crimes or drug crimes being weighted more heavily
-- The type of firearm that was found in the defendant's possession with, for example, semi-automatics being regarded more harshly than ordinary pistols
-- The number of weapons found in the felon's possession (although the news indicated that it was just one, in this particular case)
-- Whether or not there's been any attempt to destroy the serial number on the weapon
-- Whether or not the defendant crossed state lines with the gun (merely having a gun that was manufactured in another state from the one in which it was found may be enough to qualify that charge)
In a case like this, the defense attorney may be able to argue a lack of knowledge -- it's possible that the defendant didn't know that the gun had been left behind by his ex-wife. The attorney may also attack the validity of the search warrant -- it may not have been broad enough to include the weapon in its search or otherwise improperly executed.
Anyone charged with a federal weapons violation should seek a criminal defense attorney's help immediately.
