Sony Showcases Vision-S 02 Electric Crossover SUV Which May Be Produced
Sony has been teasing on its ambition to enter the automobile market with its 1st car the Vision-S 01 sedan concept unveiled almost 2 years ago. Now the Japanese electronic giant has today launched a crossover electric SUV called the Vision-S 02 and a new automobile division called Sony Mobility which the cars will be sold under although no production date has been given.
The Vision-S 02 is a mid-size crossover not unlike the Tesla Model X. It features seven seats split over three rows, as well as the same cloud connectivity and 5G compatibility as the Vision-S. The connectivity makes it possible for over-the-air updates and even remote operation of the vehicle—something Sony sees as an important technology for the era of autonomous driving.

Naturally, Sony has also added entertainment features for occupants. This includes a surround-sound audio system with speakers mounted in the seats. There's also a panoramic screen up front and individual screens for rear-seat passengers. Via a remote connection with a Sony PlayStation console at home, occupants are able to use the screens to play video games.
As expected, Sony's concepts are sharing the same underpinnings. This includes the double-wishbone front and rear suspension with air springs and the dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain that consists of two electric motors, each producing 268 hp (200 kW / 272 PS). The top speed of the SUV is over 112 mph (180 km/h) which is significantly lower than the 149 mph (240 km/h) of the sedan due to the added drag and weight. Sony has yet to announce the acceleration figures but the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) time will definitely be worse than the low-rider's 4.8 seconds.
Safety is very paramount with Sony as the Vision-S 02 will adopt its new Oval Sensing program consisting of 40 sensors both inside and outside the car. With this, the vehicle will constantly monitor safety while driving and aid with reducing the stress of the passengers, and aid eco-friendly driving. The firm also states that it has the goal of achieving level four autonomy but its current system still corresponds to level two-plus.

I recently showed what a cute little blue house would look like in three different exterior color palettes. This week, we look at a handful of palettes on a recently renovated ranch-style home in Austin, Texas. The homeowner wanted to make her house stand out against a sea of white and tan homes in the neighborhood, and having a bold-hued front door was also of upmost importance. Check out four renderings of potential palettes, as well as the final, winning scheme.
Ott, Jennifer. "Choosing Color: 1 House, 5 Exterior Paint Palettes." Houzz. N.p., 14 Nov. 2016. Web. 14 Nov. 2016.
When a lot people hear the word neutral, they think immediately of brown and beige color schemes. While it's true that browns and beiges can be a good place to start, there's a lot more to neutrals.
Before we get to that though, it'll help to define some terms. Individual colors are described as having hue, value, chroma, shade, tone and tint. Put simply, hue is artist-speak for the actual color. Value is a description of how light or dark a color is. Chroma is how bright a color is. Shade describes the addition of black, tone describes the addition of gray and tint describes the addition of white.
Black, gray and white are true neutrals. Brown, tan and their derivatives are called near-neutrals. Adding darker pigments to a primary color like blue or a secondary color like green is another way to add the feel of a color without adding the weight of a color.
Dare to choose a more colorful neutral here.
Near-neutrals can make the color phobic a little more comfortable with color and they're a great way for anybody to add complementary color to a home.

Maximiliano Armando Quinteros (born 28 April 1989 in Argentina) is an Argentine-born Chilean footballer who currently plays for Deportes Copiapó.

Career

Quinteros started his career with Argentine top flight side Racing Club de Avellaneda, but failed to make an appearance for them due to injury so was sent on loan to Deportivo Merlo, Argentino de Merlo, and Club Atlético San Miguel in the lower leagues. After a few unsuccessful trials, he signed for Argentine fifth division outfit Club Social, Deportivo y Cultural Alsina, with the aim of reaching the fourth division.

For 2015, Quinteros returned to Jorge Newbery de Comodoro Rivadavia in the Argentine fourth division, helping them avoid relegation.

For 2019, he signed for Chilean second division team Deportes Copiapó after failing to establish himself as a starter for Club Atlético Los Andes in the Argentine second division.

For 2020, Quinteros signed for Chilean top flight club C.D. Universidad de Concepción.
For 2021, Quinteros signed for Chilean top flight club Club Deportivo Ñublense

They Defied Trump on Climate Change. Now, It's Their Moment of Truth.
Gov. Jerry Brown of California, left, is spearheading high-level climate talks this week in San Francisco.
To date, however, that groundswell hasn't been nearly enough to counteract the effects of the Trump administration's retreat on climate policy. Now, as many of those same local leaders and executives gather for a high-level conference in San Francisco this week, the group they created finds itself at a critical juncture, the moment when it shows whether or not it can rise to the task.
Against that backdrop, the Trump administration has been pushing to roll back many of the most prominent federal climate policies. Overseas, most national governments are falling far short of their promises to curb greenhouse gas emissions.
A big test of that antidote will be whether America's states, cities and companies put forward meaningful new steps to cut emissions — and whether that, in turn, helps to persuade local leaders in other countries to ratchet up their own efforts on climate change.
Until now, local action on climate change in the United States has largely been led by a handful of blue states like California, the world's fifth-largest economy.
On Monday, Governor Brown signed a bill that would require California's utilities to get 100 percent of their electricity from zero-carbon sources by 2045. He has also set a goal of putting 5 million electric cars on the road by 2030 while dedicating $2.5 billion to vehicle rebates and charging infrastructure.
Other states — like Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon and Washington — are racing to catch up.
Signs of climate action are sprouting at the municipal level, too. More than 70 cities including Atlanta, Denver and Orlando have signed onto a goal of buying enough renewable power to offset all of their electricity consumption, though many mayors are now pondering how to pull that off.
And dozens of Fortune 500 companies including Google, Apple and Wal-Mart have voluntarily invested billions of dollars into building new wind and solar farms to power their operations.
Despite the flurry of state actions, though, the United States is still falling far short of its Paris Agreement pledges. A study in June by the research firm Rhodium Group estimated that the country was on pace to get only about halfway to former President Barack Obama's promise under the pact to cut America's emissions at least 26 percent below 2005 levels by 2025.
One big reason for that: While many states have found it relatively painless to clean up their electric grids, swapping out coal for cleaner and cheaper natural gas and renewables, power plants are responsible for only about one-third of America's emissions.
That still leaves a lot of emissions, like those from cars and trucks, farming, and industrial sectors like cement and steel. These sources are much harder to decarbonize and most states haven't made much headway.
At the San Francisco talks, known as the Global Climate Action Summit, state and city officials are expected to share ideas and unveil fresh policies for tackling some of these long-neglected sectors and push for deeper cuts. Yet even then, they will have to confront another obstacle: Persuading their peers elsewhere in the country to join them.
Only 16 states and Puerto Rico have actually promised to uphold the Paris agreement. Most of those states are led by Democrats, and efforts to persuade Republican-led states like Ohio or Texas to join have been largely unsuccessful.
That assumes, though, that states like Florida, New Mexico or Maine will see a change in party control.
Xie Zhenhua, China's chief climate negotiator, will be one of the leaders of the San Francisco meeting.
Governor Brown stressed that the San Francisco conference was meant to be a global summit, and he is leading it with foreign representatives like Xie Zhenhua, China's chief climate negotiator, and Anand Mahindra, a prominent Indian industrialist.
In effect, the leaders of We Are Still In are seeking to conduct their own version of foreign policy on climate change — forging partnerships with other local governments in countries like China to address global warming and urging leaders abroad to do more — at a time when the Trump administration has disengaged on the issue.
Still, it remains to be seen whether a group of local leaders can provide fresh momentum for global climate efforts, which have shown signs of stalling. The governing party in Australia recently ousted the country's prime minister after he proposed a modest climate policy. In Europe and China, emissions have been rising over the past year.
The head of the United Nations, António Guterres, warned this week that the world was approaching a dangerous tipping point after which runaway climate change might be inevitable.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) The University of Maryland has asked an external group to review whether proper protocol was followed in the treatment and care of offensive lineman Jordan McNair, who was hospitalized after a team workout and died two weeks later.
McNair died Wednesday. He was 19.
Maryland executive athletic director Damon Evans said Thursday that McNair had "difficulty recovering" after finishing 10 sprints of 110 yards during the session on May 29. He was treated on the field and taken to the training room for observation before a 911 call was made.
Evans did not reveal the cause of McNair's death when asked by a reporter at a news conference.
Evans said the workout, "a baseline conditioning test" for the entire team, was supervised by the school's strength and conditioning staff and certified athletic trainers.
McNair was a 6-foot-4, 325-pound offensive lineman preparing for his sophomore season. He played in one game last season.
Fighting back tears, coach DJ Durkin said Thursday, "My heart is broken."
Evans said, "The prudent thing to do, and the right thing to, when a situation like this arises, is to do a review."

New discovery helps solve mystery source of African lava
la, volcano 1:58 AM
Floods of molten lava may sound like the stuff of apocalyptic theorists, but history is littered with evidence of such past events where vast lava outpourings originating deep in Earth accompany the breakup of continents.
New research at Michigan State University shows that the source of some of these epic outpourings, however, may not be as deep as once thought. The results, published in the journal Geology, show that some of these lavas originated near the surface rather than deep within the mantle.
When geoscientists want to learn more about massive lava flows -- the kind that accompany continental rifting and continent break up -- they conduct field studies of the African tectonic plate. Here, the Great Rift Valley of East Africa provides a snapshot of how a continent can be torn apart.
Armed with new technology, scientists can better translate the story that is stored in the rift's fossilized lava flows. What they learn is applicable to continental breakup around the globe, said Tyrone Rooney, MSU geologist.
"For decades, there's been a big debate as to where the lavas from this massive outpouring came from," he said. "Did they emit from deep within Earth? Or was there some contribution from shallower sources? Our paper shows that some lavas came from within the African tectonic plate itself."
To clarify, many nonscientists think of big eruptions in terms of Mount St. Helens or Vesuvius. These were mere drops in a bucket compared to what Rooney and his colleagues are studying. The ancient African outpouring is estimated to have poured out 350,000 cubic kilometers of lava about 30 million years ago. That's comparable to twice the amount of water in all the world's lakes, Rooney explained.
While much of this lava is probably derived from deep sources, Rooney's team found that some parts of the tectonic plate also have melted to form an unusual group of lavas in Ethiopia. The researchers showed that the rocks, artifacts from the ancient outpouring, had chemical signatures of materials found in the lithosphere and were distinctly different from most of the other rocks in Ethiopia.
Rooney and his team were able to confirm their findings because, in part, of having access to tools that their predecessors merely imagined. The new approaches are allowing them to challenge long-standing theories in their field.
For example, mass spectrometers are employed to reveal the rocks' chemical signatures. By identifying the lavas' elemental characteristics, the scientists can trace their origin to the surface or from deep in the mantle. Using lasers, scientists can transform rock into a fine mist and measure its composition.
In a surprise finding, the team's lab experiments revealed that the Ethiopian samples matched rocks collected from other distant regions. The lavas in Arabia, Jordan, Egypt and Sudan are similar, which means that some of the ingredients that supply the massive outpourings, or basalt floods, have a shallow source that is tapped as the continents split apart. Indeed the seeds of the lithosphere's own destruction maybe contained within it, Rooney said.
"We're interested in this because these massive outpourings happen around the same time continents break apart, create new oceans and affect the planet and the environment on a global scale," he said. "So knowing the source of the lava gives us insights into a process that we still know little about."
Rooney's research laid the groundwork for a National Science Foundation grant that will allow him to continue to unlock the secrets of tectonic forces and continental rifting.

Can we take a step back please?
Ian Thomlinson's stepson, Paul King, weeps with his family on the 1 year anniversary of his fathers death. Image © Jonathan Warren 2010
Earlier today I attended a memorial for Ian Thomlinson, the paper seller who died during the G20 protests last year. There were numerous protesters there and even some of the organisers of the G20 protests. His family were also there to lay flowers at the spot where he died face-down on the pavement after being hit by a policeman.
There has been a lot of coverage of the Thomlinson case, so naturally there were a lot of photographers and broadcasters there to cover the event. But what I didn't expect was the disgusting way that some, of what I would like to call colleagues, behaved both before and during the event.
As one of the organisers of the memorial told the assembled press pack that the family would be arriving shortly and asked that we be respectful and take a step or two back. One photographer asked how many of the family would be there, he replied that it would be 'a few' the photographer said that 'two or three is all we need'.
It is our job as journalists to document events, not orchestrate them.
Shortly after the Thomlinson family arrived and a priest from the local church began to address the crowd, a broadcast presenter standing next to me interrupted him to ask if he would turn the other way to face her cameraman. He ignored her and continued to address the crowd asking for a minutes silence.
As the silence grew longer photographers around me were inching closer to the family as they stood weeping at the spot where Ian died. At one point one of the Thomlinson family had to push away a video camera that was beginning to brush against her head as the cameraman tried to get closer to Ian's widow, Julia Thomlinson.
Then as the family left the memorial in tears they were chased down the street by a mob of photographers and cameramen, probably as they hadn't been able to get a clear shot of the family at the memorial because they were surrounded by photographers, lenses inches away from their faces.
I can understand why there is a pressure to get these images, it's difficult to explain to an editor that you didn't get the shot because some idiot with a wide angle lens wanted to get in close. As soon as one person gets in close, everyone else has to get in close to get the shot.
As photographers we should be self-policing at these sorts of events, otherwise either we won't be invited again or someone else will start policing them. A number of other photographers and myself repeatedly asked for people to take a step back but our requests fell on deaf ears.
Point 5 of the Press Complaints Commission's Code of Practice states that:
In cases involving personal grief or shock, enquiries and approaches must be made with sympathy and discretion and publication handled sensitively.
So all I'm asking is, next time, can we all take a step back please?

I wasn't there today (did work at the G20 though as it happens), but I fully back you up on this Jonathan. I think the pressures don't help but they certainly don't excuse this kind of behaviour.
Yes, why can't we agree to 'go long and stay long' in these kinds of situations. I can recall a situation in Edinburgh when Bob Geldof arrived at Waverley Station and there was a photo op with a Matatu (Toyota 15 person taxi) that had come all the way through from South Africa.
This was an orchestrated event and no where near as sensitive as todays, but the assembled media got so close to Bob as to not allow him room to even get round the vehicle. Another photographer and I shouted to the rest to step back so we could all get the shot. Did they listen, like heck did they. So hardly anyone got it. Pathetic.
Back to asking people to move and set things up. There are clearly situations where the event is a press call where that's ok and acceptable, but today's happenings clearly didn't fall into that category. And they wonder why people don't like us?
Jemima Broadbridge
Jono,
Very eloquently put. Shades of Princes Diana's death in the french tunnel come to mind…the paparazzi chase on motorbikes etc. Well done for keeping a respectful distance.

To a certain extent situations like these result from celeb culture. Anyone on day shift for an agency or national daily will do a many jobs per shift that involve a bun fight with numerous paps and would be paps who operate to to their own rules.
In celeb-world there are numerous justifications churned out for why it is perfectly acceptable to invade the personal space of their subject. In celeb-world the more intrusive the close up, the more its worth. In celeb-world the competition is cut throat enough for the deliberate blocking of others snappers pictures to be the accepted norm.
Much as I have zero sympathy for the Katie Prices of this world who make a fortune from showbiz and its parasites. I wish these practices would stay in the taxi ranks outside the Ivy and leave real news stories to be treated with professionalism.
Jennifer Blair
The way the 'Breach of Trust and Confidence' common law has been extended to cover the Human Rights cases on privacy mean that a paper could end up unable to print such an image anyway.
This was obviously, to quite a great extent, a staged event and so no-one is likely to go to court about it, but in other situtations they could and they would probably win. I've been surprised that more celebrities don't kick up a fuss (e.g. Emma Watson having a picture taken up her skirt at her 18th birthday is hardly good publicity for her and really horrible) but maybe they don't think it's worth it.
The Press Compaints Commission Code of Practice is clear anyway and it is important that the press are regulating themselves rather than anyone less interested in freedom of speech and artistic integrity doing it.
You can see why the Police wanted to stay as uninvolved as possible at the memorial, even if they could have moved photographers back, but that wont always be the case. Well done for putting this up Jono.
The place where the Tomlinson memorial was held is a narrow pavement by a narrow road. It's a bad place for photography but it's where Ian Tomlinson died. Had it been a cop who'd died the police would have had made plenty of space, stopped the traffic, given all the photographers room to move. They knew there'd be a crush and just let it happen out of petty spite. No surprise there.
The "let's all take a step back" cry has been heard for 30+ yrs to my knowledge – it's only possible when there's plenty of room – and even then the best shots are often from closer as a wider lens used close gives more background. I frequently work very close to my subjects, the important thing is to be aware of how they are feeling about you and to produce work that justifies your intrusion.
The family want to make a fuss. They knew the attention they'd get before they announced the memorial. They're very used to press and photographers and want to use the media to bring the police to account. I'm happy to go along with that.
I think the Tomlinson family feel strengthened in their resolve by the intense attention that the press are giving to their story.
3rd April 2010 at 23:55
Interesting. I've seen photographers write that collectively a press pack exhibits common sense and respect so is capable of self restraint and regulation but my experiences are more of baying mobs pushing and shoving, getting 'the story' (the preconceived version anyway) being more important than the event and its participants.

General Electric F101 – silnik dwuprzepływowy z dopalaczem wyprodukowany przez firmę General Electric, stosowany w bombowcu B-1B Lancer.

Historia
Model F101 został zaprojektowany przez General Electric na potrzeby projektu bombowca B-1A. Po zawieszeniu prac nad samolotem w 1977 roku stworzono nową wersję silnika o nazwie F101-GE-102 która ostatecznie napędzała B-1B który wszedł do służby w 1984 roku.

Rozwój konstrukcji

CFM56
W 1974 model F101 został przerobiony na wydajną jednostkę do zastosowań cywilnych. Powstały w ten sposób dwuprzepływowy silnik o dużym stosunku dwuprzepływowości został oznaczony CFM56 i obecnie wykorzystywany jest przede wszystkim na Boeingu 737.

F110
W latach 80. silnik F101 został zmodyfikowany do modelu F110 na potrzeby myśliwców F-14, F-16 oraz później F-15.

Looks like we may finally have a winner in the search wars.
Bing, Microsoft's (MSFT) new search engine, is gaining market share.
The question: Will it last?
Microsoft appears to have developed competitive technology to take on Google (GOOG) in the cutthroat search market. If so, the key to future success will be marketing.
Anyone can switch search engines with a few clicks. The trick is getting users to make Bing their default setting, assuring continued use. That will take marketing smarts and muscle.
It's too early to tell whether Bing's new users will stick with the search engine. Microsoft's recent gain may be nothing more than the result of Internet tourists stopping by for a quick look. But the early numbers are encouraging.
In June, Bing picked up 0.4 points and claimed a market share of 8.4%, data tracker comScore reports. Google remains king of the hill, with 65% of the search market. Yahoo's (YHOO) share fell to 19.6%, down from 20.1% in May. June represents Microsoft's biggest monthly jump in market share since June 2008.
The kicker: Google didn't gain market share in June, the first month that's happened since -- gasp -- January.
"We do not expect Bing to meaningfully impact Google's dominant market-share position," Ben Schachter, an analyst at Broadpoint AmTech in San Francisco, said in a research note.
Last week, Microsoft said there's more work to do on Bing. The software giant said it's concentrating on Bing's position after a year -- not after its first month.
Bing offers new features, including grouping together product reviews and offering projections on airfares. Clicks to Bing's shopping site nearly tripled last month, and traffic on Bing Travel rose 90%, Microsoft reported.
Bing has received generally favorable reviews.
"It's different from the typical search journey you get on Google as the search engine refines the search as you go," Andy Mihalop, head of search for i-level, said in Revolution magazine. "This will make people find results quicker (than) Google."
Michael Arrington, founder and co-editor of TechCrunch, said: "I like it. And I consider using it as my search engine. But like many people, I'm used to Google and I know how to find things I'm looking for. Bing returns very different results for a lot of queries, which is great. But it also means spending time learning how to use Bing to get what you need out of it. I'll spend that time because it's my job. But for most people, they'll stick to what they know -- and that's Google."
In a mixed review, Ryan Singel, a blogger in San Francisco and contributor to Wired, said: "The service is far from perfect. Beautiful data mash-ups coexist side-by-side with perplexing interface choices that make it hard to find the best features. Meanwhile, actual search results were inaccurate in some cases and disappointing overall in the local search category -- one of the areas Microsoft hopes to make its biggest splash."
It appears Microsoft has a winner, and competition will benefit everyone. Here's hoping Microsoft's marketing for Bing is better than their "Shoe Circus" ad featuring Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld -- that pitched what, exactly?


In 2014 we implanted our first 16 frozen Nigerian Dwarf Goat embryos that we had imported from USA. Chloe was the only doeling born (together with 4 bucklings ). Understandably she was special and precious right from the start. She has lived up to our expectations and hopes. Chloe is long bodied with a shallow rump, very good chest and good spring of ribs. She has great capacity and she certainly can put away her food….She is a quiet and intelligent doe.
As a maiden she was 3 times artificially inseminated with no results other than an uterine infection. To avoid any more fertility disasters, we bred her the following year to her full brother Hermes, the only buck we had left at that point. Luckily that breeding resulted in beautiful kids, Matilda and Pan. Pan became our herd sire and has consistently improved EVERY offspring he has sired.
Chloe freshened again in April 2018 (by William) with quadruplets and she needed an emergency cesarian operation. Living on an island with no bridge and very limited vehicle access meant that we were late to get to the vet and only two bucklings survived. They are beautiful First Fleet Cas and First Fleet Crisper. Unfortunately this will have to be Chloe's last freshening. We don't want to risk her health but we hope to use embryo transfer to still be able to use her genetics.


24 Male, High Level AFL footballer with Right Knee isolated high grade PCL injury after fall onto anterior tibia on a flexed knee. Seen Day 7 post injury with Grade 3 PCL laxity (tibial station posterior to femoral condyle). No other clinical laxity. Past History 2 years prior of Left knee high grade PCL injury, managed without bracing, with Grade 2+ Posterior Draw with firm end point.
No fractures on plain x-ay. MRI confirmed midsubstance PCL injury. No associated meniscal or chondral injury. Intact Posterolateral Corner, ACL and MCL.
Patient reported mild dissatisfaction with residual laxity on left side. After discussion of options, patient elected to be managed with Hinged PCL Specific Brace, with the goal of reduced laxity when compared to previously injured Left knee.
Despite literature supporting functional rehabilitation without bracing for isolated high grade PCL injuries, in my experience, not uncommonly, patients note residual posterior laxity that is problematic. This patient in particular had experienced a similar injury of the contralateral knee, and whilst still functioning at a high level, noted residual symptoms. Previous satisfactory outcomes with the use of PCL braces lead me to offer bracing as a treatment option in this case. We were fortunate that the injury occurred at a time where the athlete felt comfortable taking time before returning to competition.
The patient returned to high level competition approximately 4 months post injury, at the beginning of the next season. Examination of Right knee at 6 months revealed grade 1 posterior draw, with firm end point. ROM equivalent to contralateral knee. Subjectively, the patient was much happier with his right knee stability than his left knee. As noted previously, despite subjective dissatisfaction with his left knee, athletic performance was not adversely affected.
In this isolated case, use of a specific PCL brace resulted in an improvement in PCL stability from baseline, and subjective satisfaction for the patient.

OZRIC TENTICLES
+ Special Guests
[This gig was moved from The Village to Whelan's, original tickets still valid]
Ozric Tentacles are, simply put, legends of the UK underground. One of the most influential bands to emerge from the UK's festival scene, "The Ozrics" layer ambient and ethereal landscapes with freeform dub trips, incredible rave grooves and psychedelic progressive rock. It's an open exploration of music and the soul. In their nearly 30 years, the Ozrics have experienced the vicissitudes of the rock and roll life. The band has flourished through a number of line-up changes, spawned several side projects (including Eat Static and Nodens Ictus), created their own record label (Dovetail & Stretchy), put out at least 25 albums, scored a hit record, and sold over a million albums world-wide. And yet, the basic motivation behind the band's existence has never wavered.
A campfire at the Stonehenge free festival in 1983 witnessed the birt of Ozric Tentacles. It was there that synth player Joie Hinton, stumbled upon brother's Ed Wynne (guitar) and Roly Wynne (bass), performing in a band known at the time as Bolshem People, along with drummer Nick 'Tig' Van Gelder (Jamiroquai). From that very first jam session, a musical compatibility was evoked that has since been a trademark of the Ozric Tentacles. It's a signature blend of hippy aesthetics and raver electronics with spiralling guitars, textured waves of keyboards, midi, samplers, and super groovy bass and drum rhythms. The Ozrics swiftly claimed their place as a staple of the UK's burgeoning festival scene, and are now credited as one of the influential musical linchpins of the scene's re-emergence.
Throughout the early 1990′s, constant touring of the UK helped The Ozric Tentacles to build a tremendous national fan base on a grass roots level. With the band's 1993 release "Jurassic Shift," which debuted at #11 on the British pop chart and climbed into the Top 10 in the National Album Charts, the Ozrics eventually won over the adulation of mainstream press, and found itself heralded in publications such as NME and Melody Maker. It was, and still is, an astonishing accomplishment for a band with no hit single, no celebrity status, and no major record label backing.
"Washes of processed strings purr into and around echoing alien and mechanical computer textures, while the rhythm section deftly navigates complicated and danceable time signatures. The sonic rush is conducive to the psychedelic atmosphere surrounding the band and its entourage. Ed Wynne's futuristic music could easily score any sci-fi series or film, yet it is clear that such work would cut into Ed's alternative lifestyle and possibly ruin the source of so many perfect musical ideas." – Mark Polzin, Classic Rock Magazine Currently the Ozrics are in the studio preparing for their "Paper Monkeys Tour". Spanning over 3 months, the tour will be stopping for fans in America, Canada, South America, Europe, Scandinavia, and even see the band's debut performance in Russia. Last year saw them tour extensively both at home and abroad, playing a 35 date tour in the UK, America, and Europe leaving yet another trail of astonished and bewildered fans eagerly awaiting more.
Ozric Tentacles new release, "Paper Monkeys", is distributed worldwide by Snapper Records. CDs and Vinyl, along with the rest of Ozrics' vast back catalogue are most readily available from Snapper's main UK distributor, Burning Shed: www.burningshed.com/store/ozrictentacles/
Having a musical identity that is as broad as their influences, the album is a body of work that combines rock, world music, trance, and ethereal jams with organic drums and bass in a way that only Ozric Tentacles can. Paper Monkeys is based around the guitar work, synthesis, and compositional skills of Ed Wynne, founding member of Ozric Tentacles. The current album is reviewed as follows:
"Nearly 30 years into their musical journey, there is still a freshness and exploratory feel to their music. This release is relentlessly and pulsatingly energetic from start to end, with all the Ozrics' trademark hippy aesthetics, spiralling guitars, waves of keyboards, and driving bass and drum grooves over undulating, ambient landscapes. The more trad-prog amongst us will most enjoy Ed Wynne's guitar on the rocking title track "Paper Monkeys, but this band flit effortlessly between outright freeform dub trip, psychedelic, guitar-lick rock, and improvisational rave groove. From the rhythmically intense "Attack of the Vapours" to the Ethereal "Will of the Wisps" and the chillaxing "Air City", this absorbingly intense workout has produced and entrancing album." – Rock Society

Casino enthusiasts are well aware that although sometimes the risk is worth the reward, other times it is not. Plus, it's not always possible for you to pick up your bags and fly away to the exciting pastures of Las Vegas and Reno, meaning that your options are, in some cases, limited. Unless, of course, you don't yet know about the beauty and immersiveness of online casinos. Nowadays, gambling to your heart's content is not only possible but widely available, even on your smartphone or tablet.
Boasting a wide selection of payment methods, including credit cards, PayPal, and even cryptocurrencies, online casinos have become a staple for seasoned players worldwide. If we've spiked your interest and you're searching for a comprehensive guide outside the realm of best online casinos for paypal deposit, the following article will also reveal top-rated movies that will offer you a gambling fix before jumping in the action yourself.
Having celebrated more than 50 years since its release, the Hustler is one of the movies that rocketed Paul Newman's career thanks to his portrayal of the ambitious pool shark named Fast Eddie Felson.
The film explores how Felson desperately tries to become the best pool player in the world, and how he eventually falls into the company and tutelage of Brett Newman, who teaches him how to play-to-win and win big. All in all, the movie is an excellent choice for anyone who loves to hold the cue, and Paul Newman's performance and talent emanate through each scene.
The Gambler is based on one of Dostoyevsky's most prominent novels and stars James Caan as a literature professor who shares the screenwriter James Toback's obsessions with gambling. The entire action follows the dealings of this brilliant academic who is trying to feed his addiction, borrowing money from his mother, his girl, and even the worst types of loans sharks he can find.
While stereotypes might already be jumping in your mind by reading these lines, the movie elegantly touches upon the feelings of worthlessness experience by Caan, who admits that it's hard for others to care about a guy capable of stealing from his own mother to pay off his gambling debts.
Multiple scenes point to the complete fracture of logic and split personality, and the lies we tell ourselves to get through the day. For instance, the film touches upon the false belief that gambling is about the power to exercise your free will. To paraphrase Dostoyevsky, man is alone in being able to insist that two and two equal five despite all evidence to the contrary.
Overall, we must remember that this movie follows Dostoyevsky's novel, meaning that numerous scenes are pointing to the condition of human nature, and that's what ultimately separates the Gambler from other films.
Based on the real-life rise and fall of Tony The Ant Spilotro and Frank Lefty" Rosenthal, this movie is a masterpiece written by Martin Scorsese, featuring the same gory style we have come to love over the years.
In addition to a captivating story, the presence of giant names such as Pesci and De Niro makes the entire film a proliferation of 1970s wardrobes, swear words, drugs, and lust. Plus, you can have a first-row seat to the inner dealings of gambling as a business, and how the characters lose track of their goals once they become busy skimming the take, beating one another to death with baseball bats, or chasing after crazy and obsessive women like the one played by Sharon Stone.
For those beginners who love gambling but haven't yet developed the skills for it, there is always the croupier job. While you might not be involved in the game itself as you would desire, you will get the see others win, maybe even living vicariously through them.
If that plot sounds familiar, it's because it takes the example of Jack Manfred, played by Clive Owen, the titular croupier. The story is captivating, showing the life of gambling inside and out, portraying Owen as the fallen writer who is forced to depend on his chip-handling chops once his literary path fails to bloom.
The movie also brings the idea of self-discovery, as the main protagonist sees life not only from the gambler's perspective but also from the point of view of a croupier dealing the cards. All in all, gambling is portrayed as a corrupting force that takes over Jack's playing hand, pushing him towards deceit, adultery, and ultimately murder. After all, a croupier sees the finer details of the gambling world too, which makes for the golden material needed for his book.
This movie is not for the weak hearted or those looking for a funny film, rather intricately examining human motivations and the dark corners of our mind that we would travel to and from.
The words Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas might trigger the reaction of oh, that movie!, and there's for a good reason behind it. It all starts with Raoul Duke, played by the fascinating Johnny Depp, who has the assignment of reaching Las Vegas to report from a dirt bike race in the desert. But, he's not alone, instead, in the company of his lawyer Dr. Gonzo, portrayed by the brilliant Benicio Del Toro.
Intent on making the Las Vegas heat bearable, the pair decides not to hold back, filling their trunk with every single intoxicant known to man, put down the top of the car, listen to immersive tunes and enjoy the trip in the recesses of their own traveling mind.
As expected, the drugs quickly lead to paranoia, and no one is safe with the Duke in town! Plus, from a visual perspective, the movie is excellent. After all, drugged up people make for great visuals, and the actors manage to capture the absurdist trips reminiscent of Monty Python, and other psychedelic themed films. We can't also forget that we have scenes of casinos filled with dinosaurs and other animals. Where else could you experience that?
An absolute classic created by one of Britain's favorite minds, Guy Ritchie, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is a film set in England. The action follows an overly-confident card player who enlists three of his closest friends in the task of pulling off a daring heist that could help him pay off the debt he owes to a crime boss.
If you have ever had the wish of seeing a young and fresh-faced Matt Damon being chased by a dangerously obsessive Russian with a thing for tracksuits and Oreo biscuits, then Rounders might hold a special place in your heart.
Red Rock West director John Dahl created this film in 1998, and critics described it as a thing of grim beauty because of its compelling story, talented pool of actors, and the brutal force with which the gambling industry is being dissected for our entertainment.
Overall, there is no denying that it's the excellent performance of the likes of Edward Norton that make this movie the casino enthusiast staple it has become nowadays, in addition to the superb portrayal done by John Malkovich as the deranged gangster Teddy KGB.
Dahl's exploration of the game is both gritty and thoughtful, with an element of hope added here and there. In more than one way, the film is a detailed yet realistic exploration of what you can expect from the gambling world, despite the few and far in between Hollywood touches that make it funnier and more likable.

Index to Deeds: 228 Marlborough
The following is an index to property transfer deeds and party wall agreements recorded at the Suffolk County Deed Registry from the original land purchase until the building was converted into condominiums. Mortgages, trust agreements, and other similar recorded documents are not included. This index is intended as a guide only; actual deeds should be reviewed for details.
On July 10, 1882 (Book 1567, p. 33), the Commonwealth of Massachusetts conveyed to William F. Whitney a lot beginning at a line 110 feet west of Exeter and running west 20.5 feet to a line 130.5 feet west of Exeter. All subsequent deeds for 228 Marlborough have stated that the northern and southern boundaries are 20.5 feet.
However, on March 15, 1880 (Book 1520, p, 242; recorded 9Apr1891), the Commonwealth had conveyed to Samuel H. Whitwell a strip of land beginning at 130 feet west of Exeter and running west 6 inches to a line 130.5 feet west of Exeter. On March 25, 1880, Samuel Whitwell sold this strip of land to his brother, Frederick A. Whitwell (Book 1520, p. 245; recorded April 9, 1881), and on April 2, 1881, the Commonwealth conveyed to Frederick A. Whitwell a lot beginning at a line 130.5 feet west of Exeter and running west 24.5 feet to a line 155 feet west of Exeter (Book 1520, p. 246; recorded April 9, 1881). All subsequent deeds for 230 Marlborough have stated that the northern and southern boundaries are 25 feet (the 6 inches conveyed by the Commonwealth to Samuel H. Whitwell and by him to Frederick A. Whitwell, and the 24.5 feet conveyed by the Commonwealth to Frederick A. Whitwell).
The six inches running from 130 feet to 130.5 feet west of Exeter therefore is included in the lots for both 228 Marlborough and 230 Marlborough.

Identical twins Meagan McCallum and Courtney Werner have always had a unique bond. As kids, they shared their own private language. When Meagan was pregnant with her first daughter, Courtney awoke at 5 a.m. one day with an inexplicable urge to call her sister. When she finally did, Meagan answered from her bathtub, where her water had broken, and she was debating whether to call Courtney.
Courtney, who lives in Manahawkin, is older than Meagan, who lives in Waretown, by two minutes. She was often the first to try new things, such as field hockey, which Meagan would later join. That trend changed last year.
"I'm usually the trailblazer, but she beat me for the first time in our lives," says Courtney. "She got cancer first."
Unpleasant Surprises
Meagan had a routine mammogram in October 2019. Her results came back clear, but because she has dense breast tissue, she also received an automated breast volume scanner (ABVS) ultrasound.
"In younger patients, breast cancers are more difficult to find if the patient has dense breasts," says Southern Ocean Medical Center radiation oncologist Joseph Lattanzi, M.D., who estimates that about 10 percent of patients with dense breast tissue have underlying lesions, and about half of women under age 40 have dense breast tissue. Computer-assisted screening tools used by Hackensack Meridian Health providers give a precise breast density reading, which determines a patient's risk of cancer being missed on their mammogram, adds Thomas Yu, M.D., radiologist at Health Village Imaging.
Meagan's ABVS ultrasound revealed an abnormality, so she made an appointment at Ocean University Medical Center with breast surgeon Yolanda Tammaro, M.D., who recommended a biopsy to confirm if the abnormality was cancerous. Because of her age—42—the fact that she had no family history of breast cancer, had three pregnancies and breastfed all her children, it was very unlikely that anything was amiss.
But on Wednesday, January 15, 2020, Meagan got the unbelievable news that she had breast cancer.
"I didn't even tell my sister until the Sunday after the biopsy," Meagan says. "I was so shocked, I just couldn't say it. We tell each other everything, but I didn't want her to worry."
After learning of Meagan's diagnosis, Courtney's mind went back to the mammogram she had put off over the holidays. She made the next available appointment in March, but prior to that, she did a self-examination and found a lump. In disbelief, she told herself it was a sympathy lump. What she didn't know was that Meagan's lump was in the exact same spot.
Dr. Tammaro removed Meagan's lump in February, sparing her breast. When Courtney visited Meagan the day after the surgery, she kept quiet about the lump she had found. She didn't want to upset Meagan, especially without knowing what it was. But when Meagan showed her the location of her incision, Courtney couldn't hide her shock.
"She went pale as a ghost," Meagan recalls.
Twin Diagnoses
The following week Courtney told Meagan about her strangely similar mass. Meagan implored Courtney to ask for the ABVS ultrasound at her upcoming mammogram. "I told her, 'Tell them what happened to me,'" Meagan says, "because if I hadn't gotten that done, I would have cancer now and not know it."
When Courtney's ABVS results came back, they showed the suspicious mass, and like her sister, a biopsy confirmed that she, too, had breast cancer.
By the time Courtney received her diagnosis, Meagan had already finished the first part of her three-step treatment plan—surgery—and was onto the next—radiation. She gave Courtney the names of each of her doctors, and Courtney requested the exact same lineup.
"Having all of her doctors was such a huge help," Courtney says. "She did so beautifully that I had no doubt in my mind I would do the same. She told me, 'Everyone is going to be super nice to you,' and everybody was. I never once felt like they were treating me like I was my sister. I was my own individual."
Courtney met Dr. Tammaro first. Her biopsy was scheduled in the thick of New Jersey's COVID-19 outbreak, which meant she had to go to visits alone or schedule virtual visits when appropriate. Southern Ocean oncologist Tricia Morino, D.O., prescribed tamoxifen, an estrogen-modulating drug, to treat the breast cancer while Courtney waited for her lumpectomy.
Prior to the sisters' surgeries, Dr. Tammaro ordered genetic testing to determine whether a lumpectomy (which removes just the tumor) or a mastectomy (which removes the whole breast) would be the best treatment. Then, Dr. Morino ordered Oncotype testing, which determines whether chemotherapy will be an effective treatment.
Both sisters were found to be negative for genetic mutations, and although their tumors fell into the intermediate risk category based on the Oncotype, their age and cancer-free family history helped their doctors decide that chemo was unnecessary.
On the Road to Remission
Meagan completed radiation on May 5, and Courtney began hers on June 24. As Meagan recovered, her progress was a preview of the road ahead for Courtney. "I kept telling her, 'You're going to feel like yourself again soon,'" Meagan says.
Looking back on the whirlwind they have faced, both women say the hardest part was watching the other go through it. "I didn't even have a chance to process that I had cancer before we scheduled my surgery," Meagan says. "I was 10,000 times more afraid for my sister. My experience was over and done with, but I had to watch her go through it."
Courtney echoes, "I was more scared and nervous for Meagan when she was going through her cancer diagnosis, waiting for all of her test results and surgery. It felt like it took a lifetime, and time almost stood still for me, but when living through it myself, I felt like it all went so fast. I feel like I blinked my eyes and my tests, surgery and radiation were over, and I was on my way to full recovery."
The sisters had testing to determine if they carry a genetic mutation linked to their cancers, and both tested negative. Now they are onto step three, hormonal therapy, and they will keep up a rigorous surveillance program with each of their doctors to catch any sign of recurrence.
"They are my patients for life now, and I'm happy to say that because they're beautiful women, inside and out," Dr. Tammaro says. "They share the same spirit."

The Sonos Wireless HiFi system at Abt.
We always like to keep our showroom changing, making room for popular products and giving our in-store customers something new to see on return visits. Our newest addition is a corner display devoted solely to sonic streaming superstars Sonos, who have been taking the audio world by storm lately. Abt is proud to host the first Sonos Flagship Display in the US. The Sonos system is a set of devices that let you wirelessly stream music from one place in your home to another, without dealing with a mess of wires or complicated routing devices. Sonos wireless music players are simplistic in style and in operation, but pack quite a punch in the audio department.
One of the unique aspects of the Sonos system is its modular nature. Each Sonos speaker provides stunning audio as a standalone stereo unit, but they can also be used in groups to create a seamless, wireless multi-speaker system. This lets you build your collection as your budget, space or audio tastes grow. The basis of the Sonos system are the compact Play:3 and slightly larger Play:5 wireless speakers. With just one of these and your iPad, iPhone, Android device or home computer, you can stream your tunes to anywhere the Play speaker will receive a Wi-Fi signal. Sync multiple units together for home theater surround sound, or place them throughout your house and you'll be able to listen to your favorite music in any room. If you've already got a set of speakers you love, but are interested in going wireless, the Sonos Connect:Amp lets you add Sonos wireless functionality to any standard speaker. And for the home theater buffs who want cinema quality sound, but have a room that simply doesn't allow for the placement of satellite speakers, the Sonos Playbar integrates their innovative streaming features into a TV soundbar that pumps out world-class sound. It will rock your face off while watching the latest Bluray blockbuster, but once the movie's over you can go back to streaming easy-listening jazz from your smartphone.
The Sonos Controller app is available for free download via the Apple App Store and Android Play Store, and the desktop application can be downloaded directly from Sonos. Using the Sonos software lets you, in the company's words, stream "all the music on Earth." What they mean is, literally any music you have—or can access—on your phone or computer, can be streamed to a Sonos speaker. Fire up iTunes, Spotify or Pandora. Queue up a Youtube video. Tap into your locally stored MP3 or AAC collection. Whatever it is, you can stream to your Sonos speakers, from anywhere. The system is perfect for those growing number of us who keep most of our music collection on or smartphones or in the cloud. As long as you have your phone, MP3 player or tablet with you, you have access to your entire collection of music.
Sonos puts smart technology to use, combining listening enjoyment with ease of use. If you'd like to cut out the wires, and the hassles they entail, from your stereo setup, consider looking into some Sonos wireless speakers.

If you want to give houseplants a try but prefer varieties that are hardy and tough, take a look below at 7 hard to kill houseplants.
You will find these varieties easy to care for, despite the fact that your green thumb is a bit rusty! Here are 7 hard to kill houseplants to consider.
Succulents aren't just trendy right now, they are actually quite easy to care for. The problem that many people make with succulents is they fuss over them. The truth is these are a cacti variety that needs basically just lots of sun and few but thorough waterings. With so many colors and textures to enjoy, a succulent garden can be a fun way to get growing.
Aloe is actually a type of succulent, and the fun thing about it is you can enjoy medicinal properties when you grow aloe. It loves indirect sunlight and bi-weekly waterings and will start to turn yellow if you water too much. This tell-tale sign can help you best care for the plant. If you have itchy skin or a burn, simply snap off a piece and use the liquid inside to treat!

Ferns aren't as high maintenance as people seem to think. They like well-drained soil, a little plant food every few weeks, and a sunny window. Hang them from baskets for best results, and simply clip away dead foliage as you see it. With so many shades of green to enjoy, these are a colorful plant to have around.
There is nothing more graceful than a peace lily. They truly live a simple and peaceful life in the corner doing their own thing. They like moderate light, weekly waterings, and to have dead foliage plucked off as needed. Enjoy their blooms all year!

Can you believe that air plants don't even require soil to survive? They look so modern when displayed, and can get by on very little care. Just mist them on occasion and let them hang out in the window and they will be happy as clams.
Not only does this plant have a strange name, but, it can actually help keep your air clean! This plant is making a comeback with its modern lines and will do well with weekly waterings, moderate light, and very little care.

Also part of the succulent family, jade plants are easy to care for and will regrow if you plant the foliage that has broken off. How cool is that? They require minimal waterings and will even do well in low light.

Convicted High School Shooter TJ Lane Back in Custody after Prison Escape
Posted 7:10 PM, September 11, 2014, by CNN Wire, Updated at 07:09PM, September 11, 2014
T.J. Lane (Courtesy: Lima Police Department)
LIMA, Ohio (CNN)-
T.J. Lane, a remorseless killer who escaped from an Ohio prison where he was serving three life sentences for a school shooting, has been recaptured, a law enforcement official said.
For six long hours, police scoured neighborhoods on the north end of Lima, asking residents to lock their doors and stay inside.
They brought in extra officers and provided patrols to the families of Lane's victims.
Lane was serving life sentences without the possibility of parole for his attack at Chardon High School on February 27, 2012.
He walked in to the school cafeteria with a .22-caliber gun and randomly started shooting. He fired 10 rounds, killing three students.
Authorities haven't said how the 19-year-old broke out of the Allen Oakwood Correctional Institution in Lima,Ohio, about 90 miles northwest of Columbus. He escaped, along with two other men, about 7:40 p.m. Thursday.
He was back in custody about shortly after 1 a.m. Friday.
"You never plan on someone escaping and certainly someone of that notoriety, you would think that they would take special precautions to prevent this," Ian Friedman, his attorney, said late Thursday.
"This was a huge case here in Ohio. So, everyone in Ohio is shocked right now."
Extra patrols
The Allen Oakwood Correctional Institution houses about 1,600 inmates guarded by 257 security personnel.
A Correctional Institution Inspection Committee report in April said the facility was over capacity by 217 inmates. In addition, the number of inmate assaults on staff increased by 60.7% last year compared with 2012. No escapes were mentioned in the report.
In the 18 months he's been there, Lane was disciplined seven times, according to The Plain Dealer newspaper.
The infractions ranged from urinating on a wall to giving himself a tattoo, the paper said.
Lane escaped with Clifford E. Opperud, 45, who was serving time for aggravated robbery, and another man. The latter has been captured.
Chardon is about 190 miles away from Lima, where Lane was last seen.
"We're upset this happened," said Ron Parmetor, whose nephew Daniel Parmetor, 16, was one of Lane's victims.
He said the family had taken the Chardon police up on their offer for extra patrols.
The other two victims were: Demetrius Hewlin, 16; and Russell King Jr., 17.
Chardon schools will be closed Friday, but counselors and other support services will be provided, the superintendent said.
Community shaken
Chardon is a community of 5,100 people some 30 miles east of Cleveland.
It was shaken by the shooting at the high school, and further traumatized by Lane's behavior in court.
Lane pleaded guilty last last year to three counts of aggravated murder, two counts of attempted aggravated murder and weapons-related charges.
He was sentenced to consecutive sentences of life without parole and additional sentences totaling 37 years.
At the sentencing hearing, Lane unbuttoned his blue dress shirt to reveal a white T-shirt on which he had scrawled the word "KILLER" across the front. He had on a similar shirt during his shooting rampage.
Before the sentencing, he addressed the victims' families using profane imagery and ending with the expletive,"F— all of you."
He then held up his middle finger.
"For everyone in that courtroom — the victims, their families, the prosecutors, defense — everyone in that courtroom was just absolutely taken aback," said Friedman, who hasn't talked to Lane in about a year. "There was no way to fully comprehend what happened in the courtroom that afternoon."

Samsung Music closing July 1
By James Walker May 20, 2014 in Technology
Samsung's audio streaming service, Samsung Music, is to close its doors on 1st July. An email to users of the service said the product "will no longer be available," starting in June.
Customers were warned to "download all purchased content and use any remaining vouchers" before that date. The closure also spells the disappearance of the 'Samsung Music Hub' app that comes pre-installed on the company's Android smartphones and is generally regarded as bloatware. Company executives had previously warned that they were considering abandoning their "content hubs" but it now seems that this plan is being actively pursued.
This could be good news for users of Samsung devices, as very rarely do people actually use apps bundled by OEMs. There is no word yet on whether the company is intending to close the Video, Books, Games and Learning hubs in the near future, however. This does look likely, though, as all of the Samsung services are normally viewed to be far inferior to the official Google Play Store which provides all of the above but with more choice and lower cost. It could also make it easier for Samsung to start providing the rumoured Android Silver devices that may be emerging soon where stock Android will be used with no manufacturer additions.

ASIA/SOUTH KOREA - Federation of Asian Bishops' Conferences issues working paper for its next Assembly in August on the theme "The Asian Family towards a Culture of Life"
Concrete steps towards peace, but some dubious details remain
The "School of Peace" grows, where Afghan children learn how to welcome
The Barnabite in Kabul: "Let us entrust negotiations between the US and the Taliban to the Sacred Heart of Jesus"
Fr. Scalese: "Peace in the future of Afghanistan, without turning back"
The Korean Church: "Resume dialogue with the North as soon as possible"
The Church in Asia chooses renewable energy, in harmony with Laudato Sì
Seoul (Fides Service) - Federation of Asian Bishops' Conferences FABC has issued the working paper for its 8th Plenary Assembly 17-22 August in Taejeon, South Korea, on the theme "The Asian Family towards a Culture of Life ". The working paper has been sent to FABC members for reflection and discussion.
Part 1 of the paper addresses the " Pastoral Situation of the Family in Asia", Asia's wide variety of family traditions and values, and the serious problem of poverty among rural and urban families.
Part 2 is a theological-pastoral reflection in the light of Sacred Scripture and the Church's Social Doctrine on the family, "Shrine of love for life, harmony and communion"; the vocation and mission of the family in the third millennium in an era of cultural globalisation and major social changes and the threat to the family also in Asia, due to ever more widespread recourse to abortion and divorce.
Part 3 addresses the subject of Recommendations for the Pastoral Care of Families which should start before and in preparation for marriage and continue through life to sustain evangelisation, ongoing religious formation, and special care for poor families. The working paper concludes with guidelines for group discussion.
The Federation of Asian Bishops' Conferences includes Catholic Bishops of the following countries: Bangladesh, Korea, Philippines, India, Indonesia, Japan, Laos-Cambodia, Malaysia-Singapore-Brunei, Myanmar, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam. Associated members are: Hong Kong, Kazakhstan, Kirgyzstan, Macao, Mongolia, Nepal, Siberia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan. (PA) (Agenzia Fides 10/5/2004 lines 33 words 297)


Today we say farewell to a world icon – South African leader Nelson Mandela, who has died at the age of 95.
We have all heard by now of the passing of Nelson Mandela. All of us have been touched in some way by his life. Nelson Mandela was a towering figure who played a pivotal role in the life of every South African and had a profound influence across Africa and indeed across the World.
A champion of democracy, freedom and equality, Mr Mandela spent half a century campaigning against apartheid, the system which oppressed the black majority of the population in South Africa.
After spending 27 years in jail for his beliefs, he was released in 1990 and went on to help form a new multi-racial democracy. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 and served as President of South Africa between 1994 and 1999.

Q: Are there any user friendly ways to access screenshots taken on the Switch? I have an SD card on my console and have it set to store screenshots on the card.  But it doesn't seem like there's a way to view or otherwise extract those screenshots without having to pull out the SD card and use a reader to access them.  But this is not a desirable option since the Switch has to be turned off before removing the card.  Connecting the Switch to a (Windows) computer doesn't work, it's recognized as a USB device but nothing else.  I can't imagine how it would work if I didn't have an SD card.
How else are we expected to access these screenshots?

A: If you have a Facebook account, you can configure the Switch's post sharing settings to use Only Me when linking your account for the first time.
This allows you to upload your screenshots to Facebook without sharing them publicly. Once uploaded, you can login on your PC, save the screenshot, and delete the post.

If you've already linked your Facebook account, you can still edit your privacy settings afterwards.

To edit the privacy and settings for your apps and games:

*

*Click ▼ in the top right of Facebook and select Settings.

*Click Apps in the left menu.

*Click an app or game to edit its settings.

*Click Save.

A: As of November 30th, 2020, users can now wirelessly transfer photos and videos from their Nintendo Switch to a smart device if they are running Version 11.0.0 of the Nintendo Switch software:

*

*Users can wirelessly connect their smart devices to Nintendo Switch to transfer the screenshots and videos saved within their Album.

*For screenshots, users can transfer a maximum of 10 screenshots and 1 video capture at once.
*To connect, users must use their smart device to scan the QR Code displayed on the Nintendo Switch screen.

A: Currently the only way to get images off of the Switch is to either, as you mentioned, turn it off before removing the SD Micro card, or by sending them directly to social media.
I have seen a couple people on Twitter apologize for several Switch tweets in a row just because it's the easiest way for them to retrieve the images.

The second author in our Asian American author series is Emily Jiang, author of the brand new book Summoning the Phoenix: Poems and Prose About Chinese Musical Instruments.
1) Which of your characters do you most identify with and why?
Emily Jiang: All my characters have a bit of me in them, even the villains. It's my personal opinion that the best stories have villains that feel like real characters equal to the main characters. Because the most compelling antagonists should have motivations that feel real. While I love my protagonists, I often actively try to make them different from me. Typically the characters I most identify with are the secondary characters, like the best friend or the aunt or uncle or the music teacher.
2) If you could give your Asian American kid readers one piece of advice, what would it be?
EJ: Embrace your artistic passion & stay in touch with your true friends. Even if you have a day job, art and community of amazing people enriches life.
bonds with people who get you.
3) Who is your favorite Asian American children's author right now (other than yourself)?
EJ: I know and admire so many wonderful Asian American children's authors, and if I can only choose one, it would have to be the absolutely brilliant Linda Sue Park. She fearlessly writes for audiences of all ages as well as writing across genres (poetry, contemporary fiction, science fiction, historical fiction). Not only is Linda Sue Park a wonderful writer, but she is a generous speaker. One year I heard her speak the keynote speech at three different conferences, and each speech was completely different and completely brilliant. Even though she's won the Newbery and other awards, she always maintains an air of openness and is so approachable in person. I can only aspire to be morel like Linda Sue Park as a person and as a writer.
4) Alternate question if one of the above does not appeal to you: Were you a reader growing up? Why or why not?
When I was a child, I was extremely shy and books were my best friends. I constantly carried a minimum of three with me everywhere I went. Whenever my mom needed to run errands, I would ask to be dropped off at the library, where I read to my heart's content. I cannot imagine being a writer without being a huge reader first.
Read! Read everything in sight!
Books are your best friends.
Emily Jiang is the author of Summoning the Phoenix: Poems & Prose about Chinese Musical Instruments. She holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Saint Mary's College of California and a BA in English from Rice University. She wrestles with words everyday. Sometimes she wins. Sometimes, it's a draw. She blogs at: www.EmilyJiang.com.
