[13.103], hopping integral tw ~ 0.1/, where t is a C-C hopping integral on a single molecule (t — 1.8 eV). Dipole-allowed transitions for a four-molecule cluster were examined to determine to what extent the charge in the pho-toexcited state is localized on the same molecule (Frenkel exciton) or de-localized over neighboring molecules [charge transfer (CT) exciton] in the photon absorption process [13.95], An example of the first (or band) approach can be found in the work of Xu and co-workers [13.105], who determined the contribution to the dielectric function by calculating the matrix elements for vertical (^-conserving) transitions throughout the Brillouin zone, in addition to calculating the joint density of states.
In the band approach, the band structure for solid C60 was computed in the local density approximation using an orthogonalized, linear combination of atomic orbitals (OLCAO), and the results are in good agreement with other LDA calculations [13.12,80,106-109], In Fig. 13.14 [13.104] we show the resulting electronic density of states (DOS), where the labels Vj and C, in the figure refer to the various valence and conduction bands. Note that the electronic energy bandwidths are small ~0.5-0.6 eV and that the bands are well separated by gaps. A direct gap of 1.34 eV was calculated between the bottom of the conduction band and the top of the valence band at the X-point in the Brillouin zone. However, direct transitions are forbidden at X between the Vx and Q bands of Fig. 13.14. These calculations [13.104] show that the flu-derived band splits into three bands in the vicinity of the Appoint and that transitions are allowed between the top of the valence band and the second highest conduction band near X, giving rise to a calculated optical threshold at 1.46 eV. It is common for LDA-based

band structure calculations to yield absorption thresholds at lower energies than experimental observations [13.87]. In Fig. 13.15 [13.104] we show the results of these calculations for the imaginary part e2(w) (a) and the real part £[(«) (b) of the dielectric function using both the matrix elements and DOS derived from their band structure calculations. Labeled A through E in Fig. 13.15(a) are five distinct optical absorption bands in the visible-UV range which were assigned by Xu and co-workers [13.106] to particular groups of interband transitions following the notation of Fig. 13.14: (A) Vx Cy\ (B) Vx C2 and V2 Cx; (C) Vx C3 and V2 C2; (D) V2 C3 and Vx C4; (E) Vx -* C5 and V2 C4. In the inset to Fig. 13.15(a), a comparison is made between their calculated optical conductivity o-x(u>) = (to/4ir)e2(w) (solid line, arbitrary units) and the experimental absorption spectrum (dashed line, arbitrary units) for a thin solid C60 film vacuum-deposited on quartz. The relation between the assignments of Xu et al. [13.106] in Fig. 13.14 and Srdanov et al. [13.99] in Table 13.4 is: Vx = hu, V2 — hg + g?, C, = tXu, C2 = tXg, C3 = t2u, C4 = hg, and the C5 level is not identified with a one-electron band (see Fig. 12.1). However, the assignments of the optical absorption bonds are still tentative.
It should be noted that the observed oscillator strength for the Vx C, transition is much lower than that identified with feature A in Fig. 13.15, where Vx and Cx are derived from the HOMO (hu) and LUMO (tXu) molecular orbitals, respectively. The results of Fig. 13.15 [13.104] show that the intermolecular (or solid-state) interaction also admixes gerade character into the conduction and valence band states, thereby activating transitions between HOMO- and LUMO-derived states in the fee solid. We recall that in the free molecule, a vibronic interaction was needed to activate transitions between the hu and tXu orbitals because of optical selection rules. It

seems reasonable, therefore, to expect that both vibronic and intermolecular interactions contribute to the dipole oscillator strength between narrow hu- and /lu-derived bands in solid C60.
Turning to the higher-energy features B, C, D, E in Fig. 13.15 for the calculated e2(<o) curve, the optical absorption bands are strongest at low energy and diminish in strength with increasing photon energy. Comparison between theory and experiment is shown in the inset to Fig. 13.15(a) [13.104], where it is seen that the calculations overestimate the relative oscillator strength of feature B and underestimate the strength of the higher-energy features C and D. Interestingly, this situation was also encountered in theoretical calculations of the oscillator strengths in the free molecule (see §13.1.2). As shown previously in Fig. 13.5, the calculated free-molecule unscreened response also overestimates significantly the optical response in the visible and underestimates the UV response. However, as pointed out by both Westin and Rosén [13.7] and Bertsch et al. [13.22], the inclusion of electronic correlations (or screening) in the calculations for the oscillator strengths for the isolated molecule leads to a dramatic shift of oscillator strength from the visible to the UV, and thus reasonably good agreement with experiment is achieved for the free molecules (see Fig. 13.5). It is reasonable to expect that this theoretical observation for the free molecule applies to C60 in the solid phase as well, suggesting that a proper treatment of electronic correlations in the solid will also shift oscillator strength to the UV region and thereby improve considerably the agreement between theory and experiment for C60 films.
Louie and co-workers have also calculated the energy band structure in relation to the implied optical properties of solid C60 using an ab initio, quasiparticle approach [13.87,111,112]. Their results for the excited band states also include many-electron corrections to the excitation energy, which they find in solid C60 leads to an increase in the direct gap from 1.04 eV to 2.15 eV. One important advance of this calculation is to show how to correct for the underestimate in the A'-point band gap in C60 which is generally found in LDA calculations [13.111]. The band gap value of 2.15 eV is in better agreement with the gap of 2.3 to 2.6 eV obtained from combined photoemission and inverse photoemission data [13.113-115]. Furthermore, Louie and co-workers find that although the empty tXu and t]g bands exhibit 0.8-1.0 eV dispersion, the angular dependence of the inverse photoemission associated with these bands is surprisingly weak, in agreement with experiment [13.114,116].
It is widely believed that the photoemission gap should be larger than an experimental optical gap based on optical absorption edge measurements [13.111], This is a direct consequence of the attractive interaction between excited electron-hole pairs, which creates excitons and leads to excitation energies less than the band gap between the valence and conduction bands because of the binding energy of the exciton (~0.5 eV in CM). While excitons are excited optically, they are not probed in photoemission and inverse photoemission experiments, which instead probe the density of states for the addition of a quasi-hole or quasi-electron to the solid, or equivalently probe the density of states of the valence band and the conduction band. By inclusion of the Coulomb interaction between the quasi-electrons and the quasi-holes in the conduction and valence bands, Louie has calculated a series of narrow exciton bands in the gap between the valence (Hu) and conduction bands (Tlu) [13.112] and has assigned the appropriate symmetries to these excitons using the relation Hu ® Tlu — Tlg + T2g + Gg+Hg, as discussed in §12.5. The excited state wave functions are found to be largely localized on a single molecule; i.e., they are Frenkel excitons. For singlet excitons they find the lowest exciton (Tlg symmetry) at 1.6 eV, close to the threshold observed for optical absorption in solid C60 (see Fig. 13.12) and leading to an exciton binding energy of (2.15 - 1.60) = 0.55 eV. The onset of a series of triplet excitons is reported starting 0.26 eV below the T2g exciton, in good agreement with the experimental value of 0.28 eV for the splitting of the lowest excited singlet and triplet states from EELS measurements [13.103]. However, since the ground state of solid CM in the many-electron notation has Ag symmetry, electric dipole transitions from the ground state Ag to the excitonic states TXg,T2g,Gg, or Hg are forbidden by parity (see §13.1.3), so that a Herzberg-Teller vibronic interaction mechanism must be invoked to admix ungerade symmetry into the excitonic state, as described above for the isolated C60 molecule. However, it should be recalled that the energy of the final excitonic (vibronic) state includes both the electronic (£00) and the vibrational mode energy (hw), which can range from 30 meV to 190 meV. These vibrational energies represent a significant fraction of the singlet exciton binding energy (0.55 eV) and the singlet-triplet exciton splitting (0.28 eV). The exciton binding energy is determined experimentally from the difference between the HOMO-LUMO gap found by photoemission/inverse photoemission experiments and the electronic energy E00 determined optically.
Harigaya and Abe [13.94] have also analyzed the excitonic structure for a linear four-molecule cluster to simulate solid-state effects. Their goal was to separate the contributions to the optical absorption for solid CM from excitons localized on single molecules from somewhat less localized excitations, where charge is transferred to nearest-neighbor molecules. To model their cluster they required an intermolecular hopping integral tw ~ 0.18 eV. In Fig. 13.16(a) their calculated density of states for occupied and unoccupied states is presented, while Fig. 13.16(b) shows the excitation density vs. excitation energy. The shaded vertical bars in Fig. 13.16(b) correspond

Life at the stations is very safe and comfortable. When people go out to do research 'in the field' they have to be very careful to keep warm. Hypothermia (meaning lowering of body temperature below the normal) is the most dangerous risk. This is why it is so important to keep warm and dry—taking the correct clothes and equipment with you is essential.
When people go out in the field they either live in fibreglass huts called apples or special tents. Polar Pyramid tents sleep two comfortably. These tents can survive very strong winds, one having survived at Ardery Island over the entire 1998 winter season.
Field training is conducted by AAD field training officers during predeparture training in Tasmania, and is continued following arrival in Antarctica. It covers all aspects of living safely in the Antarctic/sub-Antarctic environment, with particular emphasis on survival skills.

Q: Uploading remote image to webpage using Chrome File Upload Dialog How do I upload an image that is located on the web to a different webpage without manually downloading and uploading it?
Example: Using the Chrome browser I want to upload the Wikipedia logo onto this post. I copy the URL of the image, https://www.wikipedia.org/portal/wikipedia.org/assets/img/Wikipedia-logo-v2.png, and on this page I click Image and paste the URL in the Upload File Dialog but then I get an error.
Screenshot of error at Chrome's Open File Dialog:

I used to be able to just paste the URL of a remote image and it would upload it as if it was a local file (probably downloading it to the Windows temporary internet files folder).
I'm not sure what happened, but when I try this now I get an error stating that the "The RPC has failed and did not execute" (translated from Dutch). Searching the internet for this error related to Chrome uploads gave no results.
Is my computer being weird, or have I been using a functionality that shouldn't have worked in first place?

This is a female Yellow-bellied / olive-backed sunbird. The male bird has an amazing metallic looking blue-black throat. They are similar to hummingbirds, nectar feeding on the wing and plucking spiders from webs. It is a pity she did not give our van the once over as she would have found a particularly fat, hairy, spider to eat. Instead it was left for us to discover one night after we had got into bed and were about to turn out the lights. After failing to persuade the giant insect to leave, it was unfortunately necessary to dispatch the creature with an axe.
The bird is brilliant in many ways. Nice picture. Did you determine the breed of spider?
Thanks, I looked through a book on spiders but could not find one that matched my memory. Getting a photo for google comparison was not high on my agenda at the time.

Myanmar's Batch 4 Young Water Professionals graduate and program impacts are assessed
News Community News Water Themes Capacity Building
Source: Australian Water Partnership
The Myanmar National Water Resources Committee Young Water Professionals (YWPs) Batch 4 graduated on 30 May at a ceremony held at the Yangon Technical University in Myanmar. The Australian Water Partnership's (AWP) Myanmar Coordinator, Mr Rory Hunter, attended and provided congratulatory remarks at the Graduation Ceremony.
"The AWP is pleased to be able to support to the YWP Program," said Mr Hunter. "The program is improving each year and the YWP Alumni are going on to make an important contribution to the water reform journey in Myanmar."
For many, the YWP Program is the first opportunity to collaborate between key Government sectors and different stakeholders in solving complex problems in water resources management. It is a rolling one-year program in which young people from government, civil society and private sector in Myanmar receive mentoring and training in various water-resources related technical subjects.
This is the third year that Australia has supported the program, which has been managed and coordinated by WaterAid Australia. Highlights from YWP Batch 4 include:
supporting the YWPs to participate in the Emerging Water Professionals Program as part of the International Riversymposium in Sydney;
an 'Introduction to Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM)' short course delivered by the International WaterCentre; and
participation of YWPs in the Ayeyarwady Basin Exploratory Scoping Study (BESS) policy course conducted by the CSIRO.
The Program remains the centrepiece of Australia's support for enhancing capacity development in IWRM and AWP has committed to supporting YWP Batch 5 & 6. The AWP recently appointed a team from the University of Adelaide's Centre for Global Food and Resources (CGFAR) to review the progress of the YWP capacity development program and provide recommendations for enhancing the program.
Project Leader Dr Jay Cummins visited the Myanmar Hydro-Informatics Centre in Yangon to undertake the in-country component of the evaluation, which was purposely designed to assess the impact and support that past participants of the YWP Program were receiving in their employment. Dr Cummins also met with the YWP alumni and all the local organisations engaged in the delivery of capacity building and training.
YWP Alumni capably demonstrated skills and knowledge gained through the YWP Program in a practical workshop assessment exercise conducted by Dr Jay Cummins during his review of the Program.
"The significant impact of the YWP program is apparent", said Dr Cummins. "Without a doubt, everyone who is involved in the program is extremely committed and passionate about the cause."
Dr Cummins reported the greatest impact of the YWP Program amongst graduates included the ability to solve complex water-related problems in a practical and integrated manner, the recognition of the importance of working across sectors collaboratively, and increased technical and presentation skills and importantly confidence in undertaking professional roles in the Myanmar water sector.
The review will also provide a range of recommendations designed to enhance the delivery and management of the program to help ensure continued success and impact.

2018-2019 Off the Glass Team Preview Series: Charlotte Hornets
Jeremy Brevard-USA TODAY Sports
The 2018-2019 NBA season starts October 16th and to get you ready for tip-off, Off the Glass is previewing all 30 teams. Today we look at the Charlotte Hornets.
2017-18 Record:
36-46, 10th seed in the Eastern Conference
Season Recap:
The Charlotte Hornets had another mediocre season after failing to live up to playoff expectations. Nic Batum and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist were among the many players that disappointed. Steve Clifford and Rich Cho were fired, which has given the Hornets a better sense of direction. However, Kemba Walker, despite the rumors, was not traded, also leaving questions as to what the new front office thinks it can accomplish this season.
Key Losses:
Dwight Howard (C), Treveon Graham (SF/PF)
Key Additions:
Miles Bridges (SF), Devonte' Graham (PG), Tony Parker (PG)
Player to Watch:
Malik Monk
Season Preview:
The Charlotte Hornets didn't do much this offseason. However, with a renewed sense of direction and basketball implemented by the front office, it's hard not to get excited for what this Hornets team has to offer, both in wins and entertainment value.
Malik Monk and Miles Bridges offer up a lot of athleticism, and that alone will draw fans into the stands. Kemba Walker is entering his contract year, so he will most certainly be playing for a max-contract extension.
Worst-Case Scenario:
If Charlotte starts their first ten games slow, it may get increasingly difficult for the Hornets as pressure from fans, opposing General Managers, along with their money situation may force Charlotte to deal All-Star point guard Kemba Walker. Should this come to fruition, Charlotte will most definitely be moving towards a rebuild.
Best-Case Scenario:
Charlotte has a chance to make the playoffs in 2018 - and that's all they need - a chance. If Miles Bridges turns out to be one of the more pro-ready rookie players like fans expect, along with Nic Batum returning to his old self, the Hornets could challenge for a playoff spot.
2018-19 Record Prediction:
30-52, 12th in the Eastern Conference

Q: Sizing images with a blank source I've got a long page, built with Angular.  The images on the page are lazy-loaded so that the src is not set until the image is scrolled into view.
The container is flexible and the images should never scale larger than their dimensions (which I know and can set on a style attribute)
Right now I've having issues getting the images without a set source to scale properly.
TL;DR
I want  and to take up the exact same amount of space inside a flexible container with maximum sizes.
DEMO: http://codepen.io/chrismbarr/pen/xGgGRq?editors=110

HTML (this will be generated from JavaScript where we know the dimentions ahead of time)

  Image with a source

  Image with no source

CSS
img{
  display:block;
  max-width: 100%;
}

img[src=''],
img:not([src]){
  //no image source
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
}

Here's a demo of the image sizes being hard-set so they are no longer flexible.  This is what I want to avoid: http://codepen.io/chrismbarr/pen/JdEYMe

A: In the case that you know the dimensions of every image ahead of time, I almost always recommend the combination of a plain ol'
 and the background-image property. You don't have to pander to the idiosyncrasies of the  tag, and you still get support for animated .gifs.
I whipped up this quick Codepen to give you a feel. I use a directive to set the width and height, which are passed into an isolate scope, then set the background-image property when I detect the directive top offset is less than the height of the window. Quick, dirty, but simple implementation of what I think you're going for.
Advantages:

*

*Aforementioned reprieve from dealing with the ever cantankerous img tag.

*Ability to add some neat hover effects (trying hovering over one of the cats in the Codepen).

Drawbacks:

*

*Detecting image load with a background image isn't quite as easy as using the img.onload callback available for image tags. You could likely create directive template that used a img to squeeze out this functionality. Up to you.

Hope this helps!
EDIT: As Chris mentioned in a comment, this technique still doesn't address the aspect ratio issue when the image containers are of varying widths. To solve this I get to whip out one of my favorite CSS tricks, maintaining aspect ratio with padding-bottom, written about by Nicolas Gallagher.
While unfortunately I don't have time to add the fix into my original pen (headed to work), I did create this to show an implementation using the same images. The padding-bottom of an element will proportionally scale as the width of an element increases or decreases, thus maintaining the element's aspect ratio.

A: that's kinda simple what you do is

or any number of pixels and do the same with he other one

It reminded me of getting a medical work-up because I thought I had an ulcer. My gut hurt but all the tests were negative. I had been in a protracted argument with someone and I was giving away my power by not taking action. I was awaiting his permission and even though I was free to act on my own, I wanted his agreement.
I took action (without anyone's consent) and my gut was instantly cured. I've since learned that when I'm not true to myself and can't hear my intuition, the truth is in the body.

A kitchen worker in Yellowstone National Park, reported to have made white supremacist and threatening comments, has been charged with drug and firearms crimes, according to a criminal complaint filed in federal court on Thursday.
Timothy Raymond Stevens, 22, from Florida was charged with delivery of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of a firearm in violation of national park rules.
Stevens was scheduled to make his initial appearance at the federal Yellowstone Justice Center in Mammoth Hot Springs on Monday.
The case started on the morning of Aug. 10 when the manager of the Roosevelt Lodge told a park ranger that Stevens would be receiving a shipment drugs, has firearms in his vehicle and has been making white supremacist comments.
The manager also told the ranger that one of Stevens' roommates said, "Stevens has been making white supremacist comments and that he is concerned he will become an active shooter," according to the criminal complaint.
Three other co-workers came to the lodge's human resources office to file similar complaints. At one point, the manager left the room to deal with park visitors approaching a bear and the lodge.
Stevens had entered the room, saw the co-workers filling out complaints and told them "'you can't do this to me,'" according to the complaint.
One of the co-workers told Stevens that they were there only to make statements about his attitude. Stevens left a note on his work schedule which read, "'Tim is the sole survivor & the pantry boss. Donald Trump of the pantry I am.'"
After the co-workers left, Stevens told the lodge manager, "'everyone thinks I am crazy, that I'm gonna shoot everybody' and 'people are being racist against me because I'm a white redneck from Florida.'" Stevens also denied he was about to receive a package of drugs.
The park ranger interviewed the co-workers.
One told her that Stevens says "that he hates the Roosevelt Lodge, and hates the people working there."
Another co-worker said that in June he went shooting with Stevens who has two handguns and a shotgun. That co-worker said he's seen Stevens high on marijuana and possibly cocaine. He added Stevens told him, "'given the right tools and opportunity he could and would hurt someone based on his point of view,'" according to the criminal complaint.
Another co-worker confirmed the story about the guns and Stevens' hatred for the people he works with, adding that he said, "'the kitchen only hires minorities, lowlifes and drug addicts,'" according to the criminal complaint. Stevens also told the co-worker that he was expecting a package of drugs.
On the evening of Aug. 10, two rangers went to the kitchen where Stevens was cutting cantaloupe, saw that he was speaking nervously with a co-worker, and asked him to step outside. Stevens told them he feels he is being targeted by his co-workers because he is a "'white redneck'" and that he would be a "'protector'" if anything ever happened at Roosevelt Lodge. He added that he had two handguns, but didn't mention a shotgun.
On Aug.13, the Mammoth Hot Springs postmaster notified the ranger that the post office received a package addressed to Stevens. That package contained three ounces of marijuana.
Two days later, Stevens received another package containing 28.2 grams of a mushroom plant that field-tested positive for psilocybin, according to the criminal complaint.

Берта Бергман (Блажуј, Сарајево 1892 − 1945, Jасеновац) је била љекар и прва жена-матурант на територијама Босне и Херцеговине. Медицински факултет завршила је у Бечу 1918. Радила је у разним мјестима на територијама Босне и Херцеговине. Била је управница Школске поликлинике у Мостару. У НОП је приступила 1941. У рату је илегално одржавала санитетске курсеве, лијечила рањенике, набављала санитетски материјал, због чега ју је усташка власт двапут хапсила и на крају отпремила у Јасеновац, гдје је 1945. убијена. Њено име налази се на спомен-плочи ВМА у Београду и у Мостару.

Биографија
Рођена је у околини Сарајева као кћерка жељезничког чиновника Јосипа Бергмана (Joseph Bergmann), у ашкенашкој јеврејској породици поријеклом из Беча. Иако скромних примања, њена мајка одлучила је да јој обезбједи високо образовање. То је изискивало похађање гимназије, па је 1905. Берта уписана у трећи разред тада осмогодишње Велике гимназије у Мостару. Ту је, поред обавезних предмета, могла похађати и јеврејску вјеронауку. Хрватски дневни лист "Народна обрана" је средином фебруара 1912. посветио чланак првом женском матуранту у Босни, извјештавајући да је у Мостару Берта Бергман положила испит зрелости. Образовање је наставила у Бечу гдје је 1918. постала доктор медицине.

По повратку радила је на више мјеста на територијама Босне и Херцеговине као педијатар. Као секундарни љекар у Градској болници у Бањој Луци радила је од 1921. до септембра 1924, када је поднијела оставку на државну службу. По давању оставке добила је новчану награду због великог пожртвовања и излагања властитог живота непосредним опасностима. Уочи Другог свјетског рата радила је као управница Школске поликлинике у Мостару. Након окупације Краљевине Југославије априла 1941. и доласком усташког режима на власт положај Јевреја се драстично погоршао. За вријеме Другог свјетског рата у својој кући у Мостару направила је прихватни центар за јеврејске избјеглице из Сарајева. У НОП се укључила од почетка устанка 1941. Одржавала је илегалне санитетске курсеве прве помоћи, лијечила рањенике и слала санитетски материјал и лијекове партизанима. Током рата два пута је хапшена, а 15. јануара 1945. одведена у логор Јасеновац, гдје је убијена.

The Final Hours Before the Final Vows
Last night's full moon was a reminder to me of how far we have come in such a short time. As I retreated to my room with laptop under arm to play some meditative music, light a candle, and rest in preparation for the evening ceremonies, I couldn't help but feel a warm sense of satisfaction that, as Mary Chapin Carpenter sings: everything runs right on time, years of practice and design.
We are now in our third year of the Sisterhood, and by late yesterday, I was already feeling deeply satisfied by the progress of the Order. I was feeling a sense of pride in how everything around the farm seemed to be running right on time.
It was ten after four in the afternoon when I entered the abbey. I noticed how quiet it was, straight off.
Like a mother with her list of children, I couldn't help but do a quick assessment on where all my tribe were at this particular moment. Sister Kassidy was out for two days, preparing to take her vows. That meant her two-year old noisemaker (and I call her that in the nicest way possible) was not here either.
Miss Preslee was the only one working down the hall from the kitchen, quietly absorbed in answering customer emails. Miss Amy and Chef Marilyn were in the kitchen of the blue house prepare the evening feast. Miss Lori was in the office taking my calls and hers, and getting payroll ready. Sister Freya's off-spring wouldn't be arriving for two hours and she was holed up with the stars and the forecasts, preparing her readings.
I knew Miss Preslee's seven-year-old son, Jayden, was kicking a ball around outside in the drizzling rain and that the Brothers were in the shop, tending the plants.
At the time that I walked passed Jayden (after a very long day in the office on conference calls and preparing the songs, speeches and vows for the ceremony), I was intent on just having my tea, resting on my bed and listening to healing music. But when I stepped into the main hall, the visual was so pleasant I had to stop and appreciate it.
The late afternoon sun filtered through the blinds and did a little light show on the polished surface of the big wooden table in the center of the room. The faint smell of our topical salves lingered in the air. Everything was so clean and orderly and peaceful. A sigh of relief that Sister Freya had arranged the abbey. I hadn't intended to linger, as I only had an hour and a half to shower and rest before I must dress for the evening.
I set down my papers and computer and stood admiring the sunlight coming through the blinds, admiring the positioning of the items required for the ceremony. The candelabra at the center of the big wooden table, with half-burned white taper candles in their holes from the last ceremony, but boxes of new white taper candles set nearby the base . . . new, colored, scented candles in deep glass jars were set about the room - two on the wood-burning stove, two on the wooden chest near the front door, two on the kitchen counter, one on each side of the candelabra. That table is the center place for all our indoor ceremonies, I thought, smiling fondly at the table, and then nodding respectfully to it, as if it has a life of its own. With all the items arranged on and, around it, it seemed so.
Miss Preslee had set out four sets of gloves, four palo santo sticks, and four smudgesticks, all new wicks, new sticks, new gloves.
The only sound in the quiet room was the ticking clock from Karlovac.
I opened the gown closet door and smiled at the four gowns, four bleached and starched bibs, and turning to the table, counted four pressed veils, four caps and four neck-covers hanging individually over the backs of four chairs.
When I emerged from my rooms at half past five, I lit the candles and thanked my lucky stars, and Godfather and Goddess Mother for how far we have come. I recalled that it wasn't so long ago that I was doing the ceremonies alone, under the stars, feeling a bit crazy for doing so.
Two years ago, I did everything, I was the everything. One year ago, it wasn't so, with at least a dozen people around and participating . . . and though I had more Sisters and more Brothers, I was still doing pretty much everything, but with helpers. I was still doing all the menu planning, most of the cooking, and I was candle-fetcher, music director, sermon-writer, moon-phase researcher. I was garment manager, too, and would sometimes be sewing, pressing, or repairing gowns, bibs or veils up to an hour before the ceremony.
Last night, as I moved from station to station lighting the candles for the coming ceremony, I said a prayer of thanksgiving for the ease with which our full moon events have come to be executed. It isn't just a normal ceremony as there is a feast; there is special cleaning and preparing that must be done, preparing of both the physical and the spiritual. But this time, I didn't do it alone. This time, I didn't even do the majority of it! This time, I got to focus on my part and everyone else focused on their own parts and somehow, we nailed it -- with the elegance and grace of professional ballet dancers.
I said a prayer of thanks for Mother Goddess shepherding these women to me, the right women, the right men. I said thanks for the order and the calm. It is, after all, the order that we crave; it is the simplicity of an elegant dance that we all wish to be part of -- it is the lack of a need to discuss and over-discuss every little thing. We strive to be like our ancient mothers -- less words, more dignified action. Last night's ceremony – and more importantly, the period of twenty-four hours leading up to last night's ceremony -- was like a graduating step for the Order. Like a coming-of-age of the Sisterhood. Everyone had a task to do; everyone had a role to fill, and everyone did their thing, elegantly, gracefully, seriously, and excellently. I couldn't be more proud.

Jan. 21, 1927: LaBarba vs Clark
Flyweight wasn't much of a division until Jimmy Wilde came along. While not the first of the little champions, "The Ghost With the Hammer in His Hand" showed that even the pint-sized pugilists could carry a murderous punch and he reigned as flyweight's best for the better part of a decade. Waiting in the wings was the man who would become the first Filipino world champion, indeed the country's first fighting sensation, Francisco Guilledo, aka "Pancho Villa."
Villa and Wilde pose before their historic 1923 bout.
In 1922 International News Service editor Davis J. Walsh wrote, "[Villa] is yards faster than any fighter we have seen in an American ring in ten years, hits from any angle with rare accuracy and seems to pack a punch for a little man." In 1923 Villa defeated an aging Wilde and turned the division upside down, but just two years later a surgery complication took Villa's life and left the division with no ruler. Enter Fidel LaBarba, 1924 Olympic gold medalist.
In his first ten fights as a pro, LaBarba had faced future welterweight champion Jimmy McLarnin three times and Newsboy Brown once, failing to defeat either of them. But the experience he gained no doubt aided him in bout number eleven, when he captured the vacant world flyweight title by decision over Frankie Genaro, who himself had bested the late Villa three times. Though flyweight still wasn't much of a glamour division and played second fiddle to the bigger men of the 1920s, it nonetheless produced a heap of drama during that decade, with LaBarba's short, potent reign a major part of it.
Fidel LaBarba
Fighting out of Los Angeles, LaBarba avoided defeat through 14 matches as champion, even if he couldn't manage to best Brown, settling for a second draw with him in late 1926. Then came rumblings of another champion, a fighter from Scotland named William "Elky" Clark, who challenged the legitimacy of LaBarba's crown.
Following some light verbal sparring through the press, Clark's manager Charles J. Harvey got permission to ferry Clark from Scotland to America, but there remained two concerns. First, most of LaBarba's bouts after winning the title were contested at catchweights and there was doubt he could make the flyweight limit. Plus, the New York State Athletic Commission was reluctant to sanction a LaBarba vs Clark fight without the latter first proving himself against lower-level American opposition.
By mid-November of 1926 at least one of the issues had been resolved as the president of the National Sporting Club of London, Peg Bettison, stepped forward to vouch for Clark's abilities, allowing the NYSAC to sanction the match. Famed promoter Tex Rickard would promote the clash, while Madison Square Garden matchmaker Jess McMahon handled the finer details.
William "Elky" Clark
Any questions regarding the legitimacy of LaBarba's claim to the world title figured to be confirmed one way or the other with this eagerly anticipated international clash. As Walsh wrote in mid-December: "It may be that the meeting of Clark and LaBarba will reclaim some of the stark internationalism that made the matches between George McGovern and Pedlar Palmer, Jem Driscoll and Abe Attell, what they were. That sort of thing, reenacted, would do boxing no harm."
Adding an extra dose of history was a pre-fight report from the Associated Press stating Clark would be the first boxer to use the new transatlantic phone system, as he had scheduled a call to The London Times to give his description of the fight the following morning.
The Garden, jammed with 16,000 people, watched as Newsboy Brown earned a decision over Frankie Genaro in the 10-round co-feature, then waited with surprising anticipation for a bout between two men who weren't even close to being local. Excitement was for naught however, as LaBarba handed Clark a decisive beating through 12 rounds. What might have been a hard-fought battle to decide a global, undisputed flyweight champion wound up instead marking a violent end to Clark's career.
Elky visited the canvas five times.
Right hands dropped Clark once in the first round and thrice in the third, while a left to the body decked him in the eighth. An AP report read, "Only his gameness and defensive instinct saved the stoop-shouldered wobbling little invader from a knockout in the face of a steady hail of hooks, jabs and uppercuts that came from all directions." Editor Walsh remarked, "I doubt if the Britisher landed more than one clean punch per round while the left handing he took was a crime."
For more years than not, the lineage of the flyweight class has been murky, but in the year after its formal inception the division offered constant action and change. Following LaBarba vs Clark, boxing went on without both fighters, as it would have done anyway; LaBarba vacated the title that fall to attend Stanford University, while the loss aggravated a lingering eye injury for Clark, making it his last fight. Clark's wife didn't fret though, saying she would be happy to see Elky return to his former vocation as a riveter and to play the accordion again, as he had in times past. — Patrick Connor

Thankyou TJ, I think I still rely on my drawing skills, as they are, too much, I try to imitate some of the things I see on the forum here but I haven't been able to get that soft touch with the tonal value. I don't know if it's the carving background or what but I do enjoy the challenge of scratching. I wil try your suggestions.
Hey Harold, WOW. As Tony the tiger would say - "That's G-R-E-A-T." What the heck do you mean by, "I've got mixed feelings about this?" You should hold it up high and brag. I wish I could work with that technique. Beautiful job Harold.
I'm starting a scratchboard portrait of my wife holding a cat and hope I can do 1/10th as well as you did here!!! Fine work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Val, You are very kind, thankyou. I've never done a self portrait before much less trying to do it in clayboard. It was fun but nerve racking at the same time. It's slow but I think I'm learning just by looking at the great stuff others are posting. Everyone is so great about showing details of how they get their effects.
Hal, thanks a lot, I am happy that I was able to get the piece finished. Trying to get the tonal values was very difficult for me. It does make me confident in trying to do people in the future.
Bertoni, thank so much, this makes me appreciate so much more the work others have been doing here. I appreciate you're encouragement and look forward to seeing your wife and cat portrait. I always enjoy seeing your postings.
Harold, this is an incredible portrait, so much character and pristine finish. I would think that portraits in scratchboard would have a higher degree of difficulty.
I'm speechless, this is fabulous!
Harold this is great!! I, for one, am impressed.
Mary, thankyou very much. I've done a lot of portraits in pencil and airbrush in the past but only do them on occasion now. I'm pretty rusty and adding the difficulty of the scratchboard I wasn't sure that I could get it to turn out at all.
Karen, thankyou very much too. You are way too kind. But I am learning.
Diana, thankyou so much, I really appreciate the encouragement. I'm really enjoying the clayboard so much but it is different than what I'm used to. The portrait isn't exactly right but is pretty close. It gives me hope though.
Thanks Rod-man, I tried to enhance it and make me look like a hundred dollar bill but it didn't work I had to settlel for a fifteen dollar bill, :-) I appreciate you stopping to look.
Harold, nice work! Keep it up.
Thankyou very much, I really appreciate that.
I think you'd go well on the face of large currency. Scratchboard would fit well in that venue.
Speaking of looks, I was told once I look like a movie star - unfortunately they were referring to Alfalfa of the "Little Rascals" fame.
Thanks Dave that's very nice of you. Putting my mug on currency would be the quickest way I know to devaluate it. By the way Alfalfa was quite the guy in his day just ask Darla.
I live a few blocks from Darla Lane. She retired up here in Northern California. I was also neighbors for a short while with one of the hula dancers in the episode of the Little Rascals where there was a talent show. I guess I should say one of the talent show episodes. This has nothing to do with scratchboard, but I couldn't help myself from throwing out some useless trivia.
Diana that's pretty cool. The Little Rascals are some of my favorite childhood memories.
Are we long lost relations??
Thanks Patrick, you know things are slow when you go dig up an old mug like this. I guess it's obvious why I try to stick to animals.
Thanks Tapecat, I've had my fu for a long long time and heck we ain't long lost, you ARE my scratch brother.
Rick thank you, I can hardly imagine it myself. I don't generally waste my time doing pictures of myself.
Thank you Eliza, you are most kind, you know how to make an old scudder blush.
I'm glad Patrick dug this up...I didn't see it before...it's great, Harold!!

Will the McGuinty government restore as a full-time position the vital post of assistant deputy minister of government services for accessibility?
Last year, to its credit, the McGuinty Government created the new full-time position of Assistant Deputy Minister of Government Services for Accessibility. That person has lead responsibility for making the Ontario Public Service fully accessible. This includes making the Ontario Government a barrier-free workplace, as well as removing and preventing barriers that persons with disabilities face when using Ontario Government services and facilities.
When the first person to occupy this important job recently announced that he was moving on to another job, the Government, to our dismay, did not fill this full-time vacancy. Instead, it piled these full-time duties on the plate of another Assistant Deputy Minister who already has a full-time job. We have been told that the Government has not decided if it will restore this full-time accessibility position, or when a decision will be made.
On November 24, 2010, the AODA Alliance wrote to the Deputy Minister of Government Services to raise our concerns about this backwards step on the road to full accessibility. See this letter, below.
Effective leadership on the accessibility issue within the Ontario Government is at least a full-time job. Earlier this year, the Government-appointed Charles Beer to conduct an Independent Review of the implementation of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act. His Report concluded that this full-time position is "vital" to the Government getting its house in order. It is wrong for the Government to even consider downgrading this vital position to a part-time duty, especially when Ontario is clearly behind schedule for full accessibility by 2025.
I write on behalf of the AODA Alliance. We are a province-wide, non-partisan community coalition, spearheading a campaign to ensure that the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act is effectively implemented.
We write to urge your Ministry to commit to fill the now-vacant full-time position of Assistant Deputy Minister of Government Services for Accessibility, and to accomplish this as soon as possible.
We were delighted back in 2009 when the Government first created the position of Assistant Deputy Minister of Government Services for Accessibility. It was an important step forward for the Government to establish a full-time position at the "Assistant Deputy Minister" or "ADM" level that is responsible for working towards ensuring that the Ontario Government's public services and employment opportunities are barrier-free and fully accessible for persons with disabilities. Indeed, the establishment of that position was long overdue.
Since the summer of 2009, we welcomed the opportunity to work with the new (and first) Assistant Deputy Minister for Accessibility, Mr. Kerry Pond. He effectively showed how that new full-time position could significantly help efforts at promoting better accessibility practices within the Ontario Public Service. He also showed that spearheading those efforts is clearly a very demanding full-time job. There are still many areas within the Ontario Public Service that have not developed barrier-free practices.
We learned a few weeks ago that Mr. Pond has decided to move to another position in the Government. We were very troubled to also learn that as a result of his leaving his current position, the Government has not yet decided if it will again fill this full-time ADM position. Ordinarily, when a person leaves an ADM position, the Government moves to fill that position promptly, to ensure a smooth transition and continued effective public service.
We understand that the duties of the full time ADM for Accessibility position will now be assumed on an "acting" basis by another existing Assistant Deputy Minister, who also has fulltime responsibility for the Government's diversity agenda. This means that at least for the time being, and possibly permanently, there will be no full time Assistant Deputy Minister at your ministry assigned exclusively to disability accessibility. Instead, one person is expected to perform two full time jobs at the same time, of which accessibility is only one. From my recent telephone conversation with you we also understand that it is not yet known when the Government will decide whether it will restore the full time position of Assistant Deputy Minister of Government Services for Accessibility.
This development is a real setback in Ontario's efforts toward becoming fully accessible by 2025, a goal which the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act requires. We urge the Government to now restore the full time ADM for Accessibility position, and to fill it as soon as possible.
The importance of the full time position of Assistant Deputy Minister for Accessibility in your ministry was recently highlighted by an independent review of the Government's efforts at accessibility, appointed by this Government. In 2009, the Government appointed Mr. Charles Beer, a former Liberal cabinet minister, to review the implementation of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act. This review was mandated by that legislation, four years after it went into effect.
We agree with the Beer Report that the full time Assistant Deputy Minister for Accessibility position at your ministry is vital. Its elimination, even if only temporarily, in favour of a part-time assignment, bundled with other duties such as the Government's broader diversity agenda, weakens Government efforts at removing disability barriers within the Ontario Public Service.
The Government has repeatedly committed to lead by example in the area of accessibility. The elimination of the full-time position at your ministry of Assistant Deputy Minister for Accessibility would lead by the wrong example. It would signal that achieving accessibility is becoming a lower priority within the Government. To choose this under-serviced area for downsizing would not be consistent with stated Government policy on the priority of promoting accessibility.
It is our understanding that the only reason the Government is now reconsidering whether to retain the fulltime position of Assistant Deputy Minister for Accessibility is because the current occupant of that position has opted to move to another job. Had he not chosen to do so, the Government hadn't planned to eliminate this position, as far as we can tell. It would be wrong for such a significant backward step as the elimination of this full-time position to be caused by an individual's making a personal career choice of taking another job.
I very much appreciated your recently taking the time to speak with me by phone about our concerns in this area. As the Government deliberates on whether it will maintain or eliminate this position, we remain eager to provide whatever help and input we can to assist. We look forward to hearing as soon as possible what plans the Government has for the future of this position.

Macular Degeneration (ARMD)
Although a leading cause of blindness in people 60 and older there are measures that can be taken to slow progression of the condition and newer treatments can help reduce irreversible blindness.
What is age-related macular degeneration?
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an eye condition that causes painless loss of central vision and is most common in people over the age of 50. AMD currently affects more than 600,000 people in the UK and is the leading cause of vision loss in the developed world. It is estimated that at least 1 in 10 people over the age of 65 have some signs of AMD and that its incidence will continue to increase to almost 700,000 people in the UK by 2020, due to longer life expectancy and dietary changes.
What are the signs of AMD?
Early symptoms of AMD may include difficulty in reading, difficulty in recognizing people's faces and distortions in the central vision. The sight loss usually occurs gradually over time, although it can develop very rapidly due to sudden bleeding in the central area of the retina, the macula, with loss of central vision within a few days.
What causes AMD?
Over the past few years there has been a considerable amount of research about the causes of age-related macular degeneration. AMD is a genetic condition and several genes are known to be responsible to modify the risk of developing AMD. However, large research studies have identified a number of lifestyle factors that increase the risk of developing AMD and these include smoking, obesity, poor diet, high alcohol intake and UV light.
Two main types of the disease have been identified, the dry and the wet type.
What are the types of AMD?
Dry AMD and Wet AMD
Dry AMD is the most common, but less serious form of the disease affecting about 85% of patients. The cones and rods photo-receptors in the central retina become damaged and the central vision progressively deteriorates very slowly over a number of years.
Wet AMD is the most serious type affecting approximately 15% of patients and it is so called because abnormal new vessels grow under the retina and result in leakage of fluid and blood in the macula with rapid loss of central vision within days. This condition can now be successfully slowed down by early intervention in order to prevent permanent loss of central vision.
Can the progression of AMD be reduced?
A study concluded in 2001 showed that participants with AMD who took a formulation consisting of anti-oxidants, the AREDS (Age Related Eye Disease Study) formulation were 25 percent less likely to progress to advanced AMD over the five-year study period, compared with participants who took a placebo (a dummy medication). Many products with the AREDS formulation are available at your local chemists.
What are the treatments for wet AMD?
The treatment of wet AMD has been transformed over the past few years by the drugs which block the vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) including Eylea (Aflibercept), Lucentis (Ranibizumab) and Avastin (Bevacizumab). These treatments are given as injections directly into the eye (intravitreal injections) under local anaesthetic at around 4 to 8 weekly intervals and are effective at slowing down AMD progression, preserving eyesight and limiting permanent damage on the macula.
Miss Shahrnaz Izadi, BSc Hons, MBChB, MRCOphth, FRCOphth, Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon at the Centre for Sight and Retinal Lead at Epsom and St Helier University Hospital says "We are extremely lucky to be able to offer these new treatments for AMD, however the early detection of wet AMD always results in better preservation of sight and reduces the risk of permanent damage to the eye."
"It is crucial to diagnose and treat AMD as early as possible to prevent irreversible loss of central vision."
It is also recommended that first-degree relatives of AMD patients monitor their eye health on a regular basis with simple non-invasive tests.
Diagnosis of AMD can be achieved with just three non-invasive tests, including visual acuity measurement, dilated retinal examination and optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the macula, a novel non-invasive imaging test.
Regular eye checks are vitally important for all over the age of 50!

Storm rout Sun 79-57 to win inaugural Commissioner's Cup

PHOENIX (AP) — It's been quite a week for Breanna Stewart, Sue Bird and Jewell Loyd.
Five days after helping the U.S. win its seventh consecutive Olympic gold medal, they added the inaugural WNBA Commissioner's Cup title to their resumes.
Stewart scored 15 of her 17 points in the first quarter and the Seattle Storm routed the Connecticut Sun 79-57 on Thursday night. Loyd added 16, and Bird had 10.
"It felt good," Bird said. "We will always be the first winner. The Commissioner's Cup is a good sign of things to come with our league."
They didn't look jet lagged at all, outscoring Connecticut 43-40 heading into the fourth quarter when none of them played. Seattle had a 28-point lead at that point.
After the game ended, the team celebrated on the court as confetti rained down.
"It's different because we don't know how to feel. It is something big what our players just achieved," Seattle coach Noelle Quinn said. "I loved the confetti, the trophy, it was like a playoff atmosphere and it was great for our league to add this."
The in-season tournament saw Connecticut and Seattle finish as the top teams in the Eastern and Western Conferences. Members of the Storm earned in excess of $30,000 per player, while those on Connecticut earned $10,000 per player.
Stewart earned an additional $5,000 for winning the MVP award. It's latest trophy she's won over the last year. She's had quite a year, a Russian title and Finals MVP, EuroLeague championship and Final Four MVP, and WNBA title and Finals MVP.
"This is why we play, to be in these moments," Stewart said. "Competing for something to be winners. I wanted to play my best, do my job."
Despite not having the entire team together until game day, Seattle jumped out to a 28-18 lead after the first quarter behind Stewart. She made five of her six shots in the period.
The Storm increased their lead to 46-35 at the half. Loyd got going in the third quarter as the Storm turned the game into a rout. She had seven of the team's 22 points in the period as Seattle held Connecticut to just five.
"I thought they had their legs. Stewie made really tough shots there early," Sun coach Curt Miller said. "They looked like three players averaging 30 minutes in the Olympics, we looked like it was our first game in nearly five weeks. I worried a little bit about that. We couldn't disrupt them."
DeWanna Bonner scored 11 points and Jonquel Jones added 10 points and 11 rebounds for the Sun. They shot just 33% from the field.
Connecticut had no Olympians on its roster and had a few weeks to prepare for this contest.
TIP-INS:
Seattle reserves Ezi Magbegor and Stephanie Talbot also were in Tokyo, playing for Australia. ... The WNBA resumes its season Sunday after a month-long break for the Olympics.
REMEMBER THE MOMENT:
WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert tossed a ceremonial ball up before the game to commemorate the event. Stewart lost the tip to Jonquel Jones.
CUTTING EDGE TECH:
The game featured next generation tracking technology as players from both teams wore sensors that provided data such as how fast players sprinted or how often the jumped. The WNBA also used optical tracking technology that generated three dimensional immersive highlights that were used during the Amazon Prime Video broadcast.
WELCOME BACK:
Seattle's Katie Lou Samuelson returned to the court after getting COVID right before the Olympics. She was supposed to play on the U.S. 3-on-3 team, but contracted the virus a few days before the Tokyo Games began. The Americans won the inaugural gold medal.
Storm: Seattle begins a key five-game trip in Chicago on Sunday.
Sun: Connecticut plays at Dallas on Sunday before going home for five straight games.

Atlanta: All About That Paper Boi
September 22, 2016 November 5, 2017 by stewypnewton, posted in Riceballs, Television
So as everybody should know by now the hit show Atlanta on FX has been going bonkers from social media, to word of mouth. One reason why I wanted to wait to do this post was because I knew that first week everyone in the world would be trying to post reviews, say what they liked, what they didn't like. So with 4 episodes in. I wanted to give my thoughts and some feedback on the show so far. For those who don't know this is a show brought to you by Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino, and other various executive directors. At first I won't say I was skeptical to watch the show, I think I was more so of like ehh I'll catch it when I can. Like I wasn't eager to see it, but wanted to see it because I am a fan of Donald(childish Gambino) from seeing him on Community, and also his music, so I was like this is pretty cool, I just wasn't all the way in. But I think maybe seeing Donald & his security guards walk by me and my friends like 3 times at the Afropunk Festival in Brooklyn, it kind of changed my mind, perhaps because he was just hanging out with everyone, or it was the fact this show started to seem really cool to me. I'll get to more of why I felt this way about the show.
This is my first time really seeing that teaser above and that was great, but me personally I think I didn't want to watch this show because I didn't want it to be like every other black show. For most black people who read this they will understand what that means, it's constantly seeing roles be portrayed that don't seem realistic or to dragged out that makes even the average watcher would feel like that's not me but it's entertaining; and if it's not entertaining it's just plain coonery for the white audience to laugh at it. So I think I just didn't want that realization of here we go again, even though FX does pretty well with it's TV shows.
With 4th episodes in my perspective has drastically changed this show is excellent, from that first episode all the way the last one that came out last night. For anyone that is not up to speed we have 3 main characters; Earn played by Donald Glover who is the main protagonist he is a young black man living in the hood with his baby mother Vanessa and their daughter, trying to work and make ends meet. Then you have Paper boy and Darius, Paper boy is a rapper who just came out with a hot new mixtape who we later find out in the first episode that him and Earn are cousins, and Darius is Paper boy's best friend, business partner. All 3 of these characters have great compelling stories, with this show you don't just see them focusing on Earn, it's almost like he plays the background, and for most of the show they'll totally just follow Paper boy, and Darius and then earn will be spread throughout the show.
One thing that the writer's did amazing with this show is the real life situations that these characters are put into. For example, in the second episode we see Earn and Paper boy got in an altercation with someone, and both got put in jail, paper boy was free to go, but Earn had to make bail. Throughout this episode we see the different versions of the distinction of what is homosexuality . When a man is talking to be what he thinks is a woman, but all the other men in the holding area, are like man that's a dude you didn't know that was a man. So he gets embarrassed saying he's not gay, and then says men in jail are gay but he isn't; trying to prove that he truly was confused. All the while paper boy and Darius are chillin going about their normal routine while people think Paper boy shot someone, and he's already free and clear out of jail. So right off the bat this show talks, about the hardships of homosexuality, how hard it is to find a job, and also dealing with people believing you committed a crime when you really didn't. And the thing is it's not fabricated, it's situations where you laugh, but in the back of your mind you say man that really just happened to me the other day, or I know that happened to someone I know. Especially with episode 3.
Atlanta has comedy in it, but it's comedy to where everyone can laugh, or if you been in that situation you know exactly how it feels. Like one of my favorite scenes so far in this show is the gif above when Darius and Paper boy are at the chicken spot, and the cashier said the owner don't know if it's true or not if you shot that man, but if so he put some extra sauce on your lemon pepper wings. That scene was just so authentic in my eyes because who doesn't love extra sauce on their wings. Especially when they are really good chicken wings.
Donald Glover said in an interview, he wanted all black writers, because he wanted to show white people that they don't know everything about black people. Just that quote alone shows you this show is in a whole different spectrum, from the theme, to even the new school, and old rap music that is played in the show. Oh yes side note the music in this show is great, I'm not really big on a lot of new school rap music, but this show truly gets you amped especially how the music flows with the scenes. This show is changing the atmosphere for entertainment and television.
So episode 3 I think is maybe one of the realest episodes so far, so Earn wants to prove to Vanessa that he isn't one of these "corny dudes" she goes out on dates with especially since she bailed him out of jail. He wants to take her out on a date, the only problem is he just got paid, and is still broke. So he can't tell Vanessa that so he looks for a cheap spot to take her, while Darius and Paper boy have this drug deal negation with supposedly these Spanish dudes who turn out to be the rap group named Migos. this was actually pretty cool to have the guess appearance of Migos in the show and they actually did really good. So Earn and Vanessa find this nice restaurant where his boy told him to go to and that they had a happy hour menu for the rest of the night. Low and behold they didn't have happy hour menu anymore. But this was a perfect example of going on a date or when you're out with friends and don't have enough money, how you have to buy the cheapest things and make your money spread. He was in that restaurant calculating his money like (see the photo below)
Like that moment in the show Earn wanted to know how much the meal was, you knew it was hard times, and just being on twitter while this episode aired you saw a lot people say "I've been there, can't even lie" like you want to treat someone on a nice date, but it's hard. Then the conversation Earn and Vanessa had about the future and future plans where he feels like people need to be able to fail in order to achieve greater things, and to learn and grow and Earn wants to try and jump in the music industry with Paper Boy. Vanessa right off the bat is like naw you gotta put some money on the table to feed our daughter and live. So he is so frustrated in how he's going make this money.
I won't go in depth with episode 4, but we see Earn is struggling to find a way to make money and get money fast, so Darius being a noble and good person and friend decides to help, but Earn soon learns this is nothing more than a Russian nesting doll effect, and Paper boy deals with Youtubers and internet trolls. This is an amazing series and I think everyone should watch it, no matter if you're black, white, spanish. One thing I think that truly shows a shift in TV and this show is the language like you hear the word "nigga" but it's not used by black people in the show that much, it's used by a white boy, and an Asian kid, but when you hear the word you can see the frustration on the characters faces almost like I know you didn't just say that in my presence. So you see like the shift in how different people are comfortable using that word, but it still stings when black people hear from non black people.
I have to say Congratulations to Donald Glover and the cast of Atlanta for getting renewed for a second season, only 4 episodes in and already renewed. What show do you know get's renewed that early, it takes most shows half a season or the end of a season to even get another season. So this goes to show that people are still watching TV, but it depends on what kind of show it is. The writing in this show is amazing and it's compelling from Race, to relationships, to dealing with the black community , violence, and the youth to the struggle of finding work and making money. Hopefully this show get's a few Emmy nominations in the future, keep tuning in everyone.

Great article here! I'm loving the show too. It's definitely refreshing that we FINALLY get a show that's shot from a true black perspective . Looking forward to more of your posts

Thank you so much definitely appreciate that. And yes the show really is refreshing with all the topics they hit on and exactly I love that it's from a black perspective and it doesn't feel like were on the outside looking in that we just connect with it. But definitely keep posted we always try to post some new and fresh stuff or anything we feel is dope and definitely hit us up with any topics anything you like to see us speak


To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the number of people who are (a) contingent labour, (b) supplier resource and (c) civil servants working on the Future Locations Programme.
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) Compliance for the Future programme has now closed. During autumn 2018 HMRC undertook a full reprioritisation of their transformation programme to release capacity and capability for EU Exit work. Given its importance to any future EU Exit scenario, HMRC decided to redeploy 170 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) of project management and IT professionals from Compliance for the Future into the delivery of the Customs Declaration Service Programme and the Border Systems Programme, to support the prospects of delivery success.
