A novelization of the Anthony Shaffer script, this is a tale of a Highlands policeman on the trail of a missing girl being lured to the remote Scottish island of Summerisle.

Was the girl a human sacrifice?

What a strange little book. I didn't love it, I didn't hate it ... it was just simply an ok read.
Must go to youtube and see if I can find the movie as I am curious as to whether it is better than the book was.

Journal Entry 4 by GoryDetails at Nashua, New Hampshire USA on Thursday, May 03, 2018
I'm claiming this from the Otherworldly bookbox. The book's a novelization - and expansion - on the 1973 film, co-written by the film's director and by the author of the original screenplay. (Apparently the film was inspired by a different book, David Pinner's Ritual.)
I remember how harrowing the film was when I first saw it, and it has held up well over the years. There's a moderately entertaining "companion piece", The Wicker Tree, which I also enjoyed. [I should also mention the 2006 remake of the original film, starring Nicolas Cage - not because it's a good movie, but because it's so amazingly bad that it has inspired a lot of jokes and internet memes.]
I noticed that my perceptions of the characters were skewed by the actors in the '73 film; Christopher Lee as Lord Summerisle had charisma that Edward Woodward's Sgt. Howie couldn't match. If one reads this novel without having the actors from the '73 film in mind, the religious and philosophical debates can stand on their own feet a bit better - but even then, some aspects of the pagan beliefs are more attractive than the Christian ones, at least for me.
But it's certainly the case that, by the time we realize just what Howie's fate is to be - and, more horrifying to me, the fates of the many birds and animals that will join him - the price of this particular pagan society proves to be far too high...
[There's a TV Tropes page on the original film, with comments on the remake as well.]

Satellite radio merger hits Sirius crossroad
By JOHN DUNBARThe Associated Press
WASHINGTON - The chairman of the Federal Communications Commission now says he is satisfied the $3.8 billion merger of the nation's only two satellite radio companies is in the public's interest, but that's no guarantee the deal will win final approval.
Two of the other four commissioners are ardent foes of allowing big media companies to get bigger and a third has been sympathetic to the broadcast industry, which opposes the satellite radio deal.
Some powerful members of Congress also have spoken out against the merger, making it anyone's guess whether it will receive the three votes necessary for approval.
FCC chairman Kevin Martin said Sunday he will recommend that Sirius Satellite Radio Inc.'s buyout of rival XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. be approved by the five-member commission.
The companies offered concessions, including turning 24 channels over to noncommercial and minority programming and a three-year price freeze on service.
Commissioners can vote as soon as they receive Martin's order recommending the deal. By mid-afternoon Monday, it had not been circulated to the other offices, according to people familiar with the process.
The other four commissioners have kept their views on the deal largely to themselves. Unlike in other major decisions, Martin has no indication how they may vote.
The two Democrats on the commission - Michael Copps and Jonathan Adelstein - have strongly opposed efforts to loosen rules on media ownership. But they may agree to the deal if they believe concessions offered by Sirius and XM are significant enough.
"As I've said from the beginning, this merger is a steep climb for me. That hasn't changed," Copps said Monday in a statement. Copps said he will review Martin's proposal with an open mind.
Republican commissioner Robert McDowell has portrayed himself through his votes and accompanying statements as a supporter of free markets and limited government intervention, suggesting he may vote in favor of the deal.
The third Republican, Deborah Taylor Tate, generally has voted with the chairman in the past. But she has shown a streak of independence lately. In public remarks, she has shown sympathy for broadcasters and has been courted heavily by them recently. She is also politically vulnerable, given that she still awaits confirmation by the Senate for another term.
The XM-Sirius deal will affect millions of subscribers who pay to hear music, news, sports and talk programming, largely free from advertising, in homes and vehicles. Under the proposal, XM shareholders will receive 4.6 shares of Sirius stock for every share of XM they own. Based on Friday's closing price, XM shareholders would receive about $3.8 billion.

When it comes to the spring, I either go to the bright blushes (which I already posted about here), or the natural looking, barely there shades that I can sweep on in a matter of seconds, and those are what I'll be sharing today, featuring an old favourite and a new addition.
The golden oldie is the Dainty Doll Cream Blush in Paper Roses, a pale pink with a hint of silver shimmer, and whenever I slap this one on my cheeks (read: gently tap on and blend with a brush), I always seem to get compliments and questions on my cheek colour, which makes this one an instant winner.
The new love is the Rimmel Mono Blush in Santa Rose, which is slightly more peachy so is less noticeable on the cheeks. This is a firm blogger favourite, and I can tell why. Its slightly shimmery, natural toned, and adds a light flush to the cheeks, and using the contour brush to just focus is on certain areas of the cheeks is my way to go about using this one.
Love this post - been dying to try some of the Daint Doll products - blushes especially - and this also reminds me to pick up the Rimmel blush, for whatever reason, I'm yet to purchase it!
I've been eyeing up the nars doucer blush which I think is along the same lines as these, sometimes if you want a smokey eye it looks better to have a subtle blush. Great post.
Two beautiful blushers :)! I love Rimmel blushers.
Santa Rose looks so lovely, perfect for my pale skin - May have to check this one out the next time I find myself in boots!
Oooh, I love the Santa Rose color. I've been looking for a new peachy blush. That one look beautiful!
I love the real techniques contour brush for blush!


The International Hemophilia Treatment Centre (IHTC) Program offers fellows a unique opportunity to learn about hemophilia diagnosis and management from designated bleeding disorders specialists. Fellows are assigned to one of the designated IHTCs of the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) where they undergo four to six-week training. When assigning fellows to a centre, WFH takes into consideration the fellow's preferred training centre, technical specialties and training needs, languages, capabilities, and travel distances.
The IHTC Program provides for the travel and accommodations of its fellows for the duration of their training (salary compensation is not included). The program covers the economy airfare of fellows from their home town to their training centre. In addition, it provides a grant to the host IHTC, which manages the logistical support, accommodations, and meals for fellows. The training is given by volunteers at the IHTCs. No remuneration is given to the IHTC or to the healthcare professionals who provide the training.
At the end of the training period, both the host IHTC and the fellow report back to the WFH on the training that was provided. The IHTC completes a fellowship evaluation form. The fellow submits both a completed logbook and a training report form, which includes descriptions of all aspects of the training received. Once the WFH has received all three forms it sends an official IHTC training certificate to the fellow.


There's a reason why a defensive rebound or a turnover in the UBA can lead to a bucket at the other end in the blink of an eye. When you see a player blaze cross-court in the 39th minute of a game, he's able to do so because of the work put in throughout the year in attaining and maintaining peak physical fitness. As UBA Season 5 draws near, there is an increased sense of urgency among the players to raise their game. A UBA training camp helps them get a potent boost in their play, and here's a look at how that happens.
"This was an intense training camp as always. If the morning session was two hours long, not even five seconds were wasted. Totally efficient, even water breaks were brief and not such that players would sit and talk. If we were not moving, we were in a stance. The coaches got the maximum effort and result from us from the time put in the camp," – said Ajinkya Mane of Pune Peshwas.
When the UBA Bengaluru Training Camp began, the coaches took tangible measurements of the players' 1-mile run timings, shuttle run timings and vertical reach among other quantifiable variables of fitness. In order to make sure that the numbers improved exponentially, the coaches had a detailed plan based on a simple principle- outwork your best self, then outdo that multiple times.
"We have measurements to be able to test the players. We have methods in our system to be able to help them improve the style of play. Everything that we do, we have a system for doing it. We know when we see it, we know when we measure it, and we want to get them back to UBA style, UBA standards."- UBA League Assistant Coach Jon Kimberlin.
The players had two relentless training sessions each day, with a video review session thrown in between and gym sessions at the end of the day as dessert. There is never any letup or respite in any way, shape or form for a player trying to get a coveted UBA roster spot. "The practices are really intense. If you are going so hard every day your body starts to adapt and you feel a lot fitter," said Himanshu Sharma, Haryana Gold. One thing is assured in a UBA training camp, the players will walk out better versions of themselves as basketball players.
The sessions began with warm-ups, followed by various drills with and without the basketball. Following which the players were divided into teams for intense scrimmages. A brief break for lunch is followed by video sessions reviewing the morning's work on some days, on others, the players jump straight into the second session of the day. There is a strong drive to improve among the players and a deep commitment from the coaches to get them to the next level. "It's very demanding but to keep up with the pace we have to work at that pace," said Sagar Joshi of Punjab Steelers.
The camp is about more than pushing the players to become fitter and faster, basketball skills are worked on an individual and team level as well. "The coaches teach things in deep detail. Something like dribbling is taken to another level, how exactly to do crossover moves, how footwork and movement can be more effective, how to shift weight on feet to get the maximum force, it is all very useful for us to take our game to the next level. Every UBA camp is an opportunity to learn something new," said Himanshu.
Learning something new is a constant motivating factor for basketball players. Basketball presents a perfect stage for observing Darwin's theory of evolution. It allows for endless innovations and improvisations in training, coaching, implementation of skills, game styles, moves, the list goes on. And the coaches made sure to help the players raise their game in a number of different ways.
"Coaches helped in refining so many skills. I worked a lot on my pull up jumper as well, it is one of my go-to moves for when I'm up against a big man in the paint. We worked on fundamental crossovers, how to do double crossovers better, how to put together multiple moves in a combo. The smallest of details, like how to get down low while moving, not just bending from the back but the right way to bend from the knees, coaches did a lot of detailed work with us in terms of such mechanics and taking corrective action," said Mane.
The game is constantly changing and evolving. From bruising behemoths who'd solely operate within two arm's reach of the basket to big men with a hybrid skill set, from mining the mid-range to taking higher percentage shots from up close or beyond the arc, the only constant in the game is change itself. For the players and coaches to be able to perform at the highest level, they need to be able to adapt and consistently raise their game. What was a sure thing yesterday can turn out to be a page from a playbook engraved in a fossil tomorrow.
There is a sense of urgency in how the players train, they know that the competition is only getting fiercer and the UBA training camp gave them a refresher course in the intensity and dedication which they will be putting on display.


Music This Week Nov 11th thru Nov 17th | Live Music in Athens Georgia!
I have Hulaween posted. http://livemusicathensga.com/hulaween-2015/ Enjoy! The thing I remember most about the crowd is that it filled the entire meadow. They were standing room only back to where the hill goes up behind the vendors area. I'm going to have to rethink my costume, wings just don't work when you are trying to get thru the crowds. There were vendors in the camping areas, above the meadow stage, in the meadow stage area behind the soundboard, a second general store behind the lake and several other places and they still ran out of bottled water. Also the outdoor stages ran until 4 am. I can't imagine it getting any bigger but I know it will when the stories about this one start going around. The Thurs lineup was one of the best of the fest, maybe they will add a fifth day of music. I had one major logistics problem, the scale of the festival. I had four stages and only three recorders. That meant I had to stet up recorders at the main stage and Amphitheater and carried the third recorder between the Campground and Spirit Lake stages. I left a friend in charge of the main stage recorder but he let me down and forgot to turn on the recorder for Railroad Earth and the two SCI shows on Fri.The Railroad Earth was the real bummer. I guess the bottom line is you have to be there to experience it for your self. About the only way to make it better is to have more Athens bands playing there. Plan on going next year.

Select Kentucky – think one-stop shop for all things site selection – is one of our most useful tools for helping a business find its future home. Our state-of-the-art GIS tool provides business owners with an array of industrial property options and showcases community profiles and existing industry data.
How does being Build-Ready benefit my community?
By achieving Build-Ready status, you have drastically reduced the amount of time it takes a company to locate in your community. When a company is going through the site selection process, time is often a significant factor. The quicker a company can locate on a site, build their facility and start operating, the quicker they can start making money. Companies can build their facilities and start their operations sooner on Build-Ready sites than they can on an average greenfield site that hasn't been prepared.
Are there any costs to become Build-Ready?
There will be some necessary investments to make a site Build-Ready. Likely investments include, but are not limited to: environmental studies, planning and design and land preparation. Most of the costs will be incurred through the contracting of engineering firms to perform necessary studies, design work and ground work on the site.
I am not familiar with construction or development. Who can help me get started?
A community cannot perform all the work to make a site Build-Ready on its own. The first step would be to contact CED to learn more about the process. From there, the community will hire engineers and contractors to carry out the work.
What is the difference between a Build-Ready site and a Shovel-Ready site?
All Build-Ready sites are Shovel-Ready because they are properly zoned, have all utilities available, and are free of any environmental issues. What sets Build-Ready sites apart is the ground work and building design that has been done, which decreases the time required to start construction.
What is the difference between a Build-Ready site and building a spec building?
Both Build-Ready sites and spec buildings are great ways for communities to prepare for and attract new industry. The big difference is the building. A Build-Ready site does not have a building, so having a speculative building is one major step beyond Build-Ready. The cost associated with building a spec building is obviously much greater, but does further reduce timelines for prospective companies. Build-Ready sites require a much smaller upfront investment on the part of the community while also offering prospective companies more flexibility in building design.

Freelance writer and poet from London; if you would like to read my poetry, please check out my book, 'Poems on the Page', available from goo.gl/Ta4oAX.
Published March 25th 2014
Chat and Curry
They say you learn something new every day. Last Monday I learnt about a whole new culture - or rather a very very old culture. I had never heard of Tamil until I saw the Tamil Ladies Social Club advertised at South Mitcham Community Centre, and the other day I was asked by one of the members to come and take photos because it was someone's ninetieth birthday.
I decided to read up on the Tamil people before going, and learnt about a fascinating culture. Although they have no existing nation of their own, there are seventy-seven million speakers of this ancient language Tamil people spread across the glob, making it the largest stateless nation in the world.
The people originate from a region in India called Tamil Nadu, and have three ancient empires dating from 600 – 1300 CE. These were called Chera, Chola, and Pandya. From the fourteenth century onwards, invasions brought diaspora. Today the three countries most heavily populated are India, Sri Lanka, and Malaysia. After that, the UK comes fourth, with about a population of three hundred thousand. This is mainly due to India having been part of the British Empire.
As a multicultural area, Mitcham is home to many Tamils, which is why they organised a social group at their local community centre. The group meets up every Monday between 10am - 1pm to cook, exercise, socialise, and share lunch.
Although there are no age restrictions, most of the ladies are over sixty. Their oldest member has just turned ninety, and although they were hoping to celebrate her birthday last Monday, she unfortunately wasn't feeling well on the day.
The cooking is done by students from Lambeth College, who as part of their course are required to do ten weeks volunteer work. That means every few months, they meet a new group of students who get trained to cook the meals by one of the Tamil members. On the day I went, the health inspector was there, and they passed with flying colours. After asking if there was anything they could improve upon, the health inspector said 'no'.
The volunteers start preparations at ten o'clock, and at 10:30am, members start arriving for an hour's exercise class called Get Up and Go for the Over 55s. People who are not members of the social club, but go to the exercise class, can pop in, say hello, and buy some of their food. The smell of curry emanating through hall is very tempting, and last week my Mum brought home some spicy savoury pancakes that were very morish.
At half eleven, they all gather in the dining room to chat and say prayers. Then at around twelve, food starts to be served. The ladies kindly invited me to join them, and although I politely declined, I must say, once I saw all the food on table, I was reconsidering.
In a few weeks time, there will be another birthday to celebrate, and I have been asked to go back to take more pics. Hopefully everyone will be in the best of health, and can enjoy a morning of social chit chat.
If you are part of the Tamil culture, and have yet to join, then just popover on Monday morning. It is completely free, and they would be happy to have you. If you are not Tamil, pop in anyway, and buy some tasty food.

Westlake to get new principal
A new principal for Westlake Elementary has been selected.
Westlake to get new principal A new principal for Westlake Elementary has been selected. Check out this story on battlecreekenquirer.com: http://bcene.ws/1HJi6OR

Youngsters at Westlake Elementary School will have a new leader to look up to next year.
Tamara Jamierson will be the school's new principal, starting July 1. She currently holds that same position at Woods Lake Elementary School in Kalamazoo.
Lakeview School District Superintendent David Peterson said a committee had interviewed six candidates for the job, and Jamierson's hire was approved by the school board on May 18. She will be replacing Carol Disler, who is retiring.
"(Jamierson is) just a very warm and caring individual," Peterson said. "For an elementary building, you need that warm-hearted, caring, nurturing environment … those little fellas need to know they can get a hug in the morning and that people care for them, they're going to be looked after. You need that first and then you can get the high achievement out of them. She does that quite well."
Jamierson, a graduate of Battle Creek Public Schools, earned a master's degree in educational leadership from Western Michigan University. She has held a wide range of jobs during her career in education, with her past roles including teaching kindergarten and alternative education in Texas.
Locally, she taught elementary alternative education and served as Dudley's principal for Battle Creek Public Schools before heading to Kalamazoo.
"I've been tracking Lakeview for probably a couple years and have really been impressed with their move towards the equity piece that they're trying to put in place," Jamierson said Tuesday. "Addressing the needs of all students, addressing the needs of the changes in populations for students. And (I) have really been impressed with their efforts. So when this position came open, I thought that I could really contribute something to those efforts there."
Jamierson said she thinks her love for learning is "infectious."
"I think the staff there...and the students and parents will see that my decisions are student-driven."

BEIRUT, March 27 (Xinhua) -- French Ambassador to Lebanon Bruno Foucher said on Wednesday that Lebanon needs to create a safe and transparent atmosphere for investors by strictly managing its public finances, the National News Agency reported.
"Foreign investors expect Lebanon to undertake serious and structural reforms to increase economic transparency and professionalism," Foucher said during a discussion session organized by Association of Lebanese Business People in the World (RDCL World).
Foucher emphasized the need to implement reforms which will allow Lebanon to benefit from 11 U.S. billion dollars pledged in loans and donations by CEDRE conference.
"This is the responsibility of the Lebanese government. For its part, France has organized CEDRE conference to support Lebanon's economic sectors," he said.
Meanwhile, Fouad Zmokhol, founder and chairman of RDCL World, said Lebanon does not want to access CEDRE's money without implementing the necessary reforms.
"We do not want to increase our public debt without creating growth opportunities which is the only way to generate money to pay our dues," he said, adding the CEDRE money should be used to fund real projects in a transparent way.
Lebanon's public debt reached 82.95 billion dollars at the end of last June, up 8.5 percent from 76.5 billion dollars a year ago, according to Byblos Bank's weekly economic publication.

The approved methodology for auction of coal mines / blocks for sale will prioritise on transparency and ease of doing business.
The Centre opened up commercial coal mining for the private sector on February 20. About 70% of power generated in India uses coal. Domestic coal has been able to meet only 75% of our annual coal demand.
What is the significance of the move?
The government has termed it the most ambitious coal sector reform since 1973 when the sector was nationalised. With an aim to boost coal production, the state-owned Coal India Limited (CIL) was set up in 1975. Ever since, it has monopolised the sector, and is now the world's largest coal-producer.
With the latest decision, the Centre said, the sector will move from an era of monopoly to that of competition.
What led to this move?
The coal ministry had, from 1993 to 2011, allocated 218 coal blocks to eligible Public Sector Undertakings and private firms for specified end-use projects, that is power, steel and cement, as well as for commercial mining by PSUs.
However, these allocations were challenged before the Supreme Court, which in August 2014 cancelled the allocation of 204 blocks after finding that the allocations were arbitrary and illegal.
To manage and reallocate the cancelled blocks, the Coal Mines (Special Provisions) Act, 2015 was enacted.
How will the February 20 decision be implemented?
There will be an 'ascending forward auction' -- a two-stage online auction comprising (i) technical bid and (ii) financial bid with initial and final price offers. There will be no curbs on the sale or use of coal from the mine.
What are the benefits, and where is the catch?
It is expected to bring in greater efficiency, technology, higher investment and more employment. It would also lead to more revenue that can be used for development of the area and inhabitants around the mine by the State. Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana and Maharashtra would benefit the most.
Angel Broking said the move could be the first step towards the full privatisation of the mining sector, adding that global mining giants like BHP, Rio Tinto, Anglo American and Glencore have expressed interest in prospecting for coal in India. However, it said, coal blocks would be commercially viable only if they are offered in minimum blocks of 40-50 million tonnes.

A Pedra do Bacamarte é um monólito de gnaisse cujo ponto culminante situa-se na região da Serra de Baturité, no estado brasileiro do Ceará. Um dos principais pontos turísticos da cidade de Palmácia, a Pedra do Bacamarte é uma formação rochosa peculiar e única na Região Nordeste do Brasil, comparada, em forma, ao Morro do Pão de Açúcar do Rio de Janeiro. O acesso a ela é feito por trilhas, mas pode ser vista pela CE-065 na região da Água Verde, e na mesma rodovia no sentido Palmácia-Pacoti.

Origem do nome

O batismo da formação rochosa se deu a partir da arma de cano curto e largo de mesmo nome, de uso comum na caça aos jacus durante expedições na região.Segundo a história oficial,no início do século XX,um caçador de jacus foi em busca do referido animal nas proximidades da pedra,entretanto logo foi supreendido por um ataque de cobra e assim,deixou cair seu bacamarte,voltando para Palmácia,o expedicionário relatou o fato a conhecidos e dizia: "Ainda volto para buscar meu bacamarte naquela pedra",logo o nome popularizou-se como Pedra do Bacamarte.

Ecossistema
O bioma da Pedra do Bacamarte é caracteristicamente de Mata Atlântica secundária e ainda apresenta algumas espécies da Caatinga. A área da Floresta do Bacamarte ainda é preservada e existem resquícios das matas originais e inexploradas nos pontos de difícil acesso. A água é muito escassa nas partes altas, porém, nas bases, é possível encontrar pequenas cachoeiras e córrego dentro das densas florestas,entretanto já bem próximo ao cume da pedra é possível verificar uma pequena nascente,conhecida popularmente como olho d'água, a mais de 800 metros de altitude.

Ecoturismo e trilhas

Para chegar a Pedra do Bacamarte,pode-se ir de carro até a localidade do Bacamarte e de lá seguir pela trilha principal,por não ser bem sinalizada,é preciso de um guia para não se perder nas trilhas secundárias,que não levam ao topo do monólito. A trilha apresenta dificuldade elevada,em alguns pontos é preciso de auxílio de cordas para passar pelas pedras.

Embora a trilha esteja repleta de dificuldades,a Pedra do Bacamarte é famosa por ter uma das melhores vistas da região serrana. Do topo,da vista Norte tem-se visão dos açudes da Água Verde, Botija, Bu e de cidades como Maranguape,Caucaia e Fortaleza.Da vista Leste possível avistar, ainda, o Açude Acarape do Meio e as dunas do litoral da cidade de Fortaleza e de Aquiraz,além do território dos municípios de Guaiuba,Redenção,Pacatuba e Acarape. Da vista Oeste é possível avistar a Pedra da Torre da Lua,o Serrote do Gigante e os sertões de Caridade e Paramoti. Da vista Sul é possível admirar as montanhas dos municípios de Pacoti,Guaramiranga e Mulungu. O trajeto das trilhas para os pontos mais altos, no entanto, é considerado de grande dificuldade.

Na ficção
A pedra do Bacamarte foi usada como cenário de inspiração de vários poemas de escritores famosos como José Rebouças Macambira,um dos maiores linguistas do Brasil.

The transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) superfamily of peptide growth factors control a range of functions of the cell, among them proliferation and apoptosis. Discovery and characterization of the Smad family of gene products has been important in progress in knowing how TFG-beta superfamily signals are transduced within the cell. A molecular framework is now known.
The article explores molecular principles that regulate life and death balance. A potential mechanism to convert cells from life to death in death receptor-mediated apoptosis is described.

ARROW Season 4×20, "Genesis" recap
Welcome back, Arrowheads! With Laurel Lance dead, Team Arrow is hurting hard from the loss of one of their own, but are determined to take down Damien Darhk and the rest of HIVE. But how can they stop Darhk's magic and whatever this so called "Genesis" plan is? And what will happen when Diggle faces his turncoat brother? And will we get any flashbacks this week? The answer to the last one, thankfully, is NO. The rest, though…
Layoffs. Some of the HIVE members are concerned with leaving Darhk to rot in jail and putting contingencies in place to handle him, when the subject of their talk comes in. He talks about his time in the slammer, and after getting a confirmation that Genesis is still in schedule, Darhk magic kills those concerned HIVE members. Their bodies are dumped and are found later, as the Team at Arrow HQ are thinking Darhk might be out settling old scores. Not that going after him is a priority, because they have to defeat his magic first, and Ollie gets a way to do that. Old buddy John Constantine pointed Ollie to someone who can teach him how to fight Darhk's magic, so while he's gone, everyone should just stay on call. Thea wants to take a weekend trip offered up by Alex. Oh and Felicity? She's gonna hitch a ride with Ollie on his "magic camp" trip.
As for Diggle, he gets to visit Lyla and baby Sara in their hideout: a mobile semi truck. He knows he's supposed to stand down until Ollie gets back, but after he leaves Lyla, he gets a ping on Andy's location. He's nearby, so he goes over to that location, and before we can get to the awkward family talk that happens when one brother betrays you and kills your friend, Diggle ends up chasing Andy, and trade off insults while shooting at each other. If you think something's up with this, I got one other thing in this episode that's more obvious.
Traps and Bluffs. Before we get to one character's bad getaway, we go to nearby Hub City, where Ollie and Felicity get dressed up and visit a swanky private casino. They are supposed to play a few hands at a specific card table, and Felicity starts cleaning up. They are supposed to be waiting for a man, but after a while of playing, there is only a lady playing the table too. She cuts into their conversation, introducing herself as Fortuna, and that SHE'S who John Constantine recommended they see.
Thea wakes up in a house, in daylight (which is odd, because everything this episode has been at night…) and finds Alex cooking breakfast. He said she fell asleep during the trip, which is odd, considering we cut back to Diggle AT NIGHT still chasing Andy and getting a ring from Lyla about finding Andy too. Diggle doesn't want to wait for ARGUS backup, so he corners Andy, and finds out, he was supposed to follow his brother…into a trap! Diggle gets knocked out, but why does HIVE want him taken prisoner for?
Andy: "Look, all I want is your HBO GO password and ID, bro! I think I'm entitled to that!"
A Few Lessons. Thea and Alex are taking a nice walk in a pretty nice residential neighborhood IN THE DAYTIME, when Thea starts noticing something off. The sounds of animals around the neighborhood seems not all that random. Alex tells her she might be just paranoid or tired, BUT…
Diggle himself is waking up to an odd place, but strung up by Andy to be presented to a soon to be visiting Darhk. Diggle is upset, and Andy's response is to jab his brother with a pick in the side. After a little bit of torture, Diggle is being taken off the hook he's been attached to, and he breaks out. He takes out the guards and handcuffs Andy. Diggle has the chance to kill Andy, but he doesn't and gets out of there. He finds his way back to Lyla's semi HQ, and is a mess. She gives him the third degree for going off to catch Andy alone, and he knows he screwed up. Of course, we'll find out later he doesn't know how much he did.
Darkness and the Light. At the casino, Ollie asks Fortuna for her help, and she takes him to a secret chamber in the casino…which puts them in a chamber not unlike the one Ollie sealed off on Lian Yu years earlier. How did the casino lead to this chamber? MAGIC! Anyway, Fortuna discusses Darhk's magic, and says the key to fighting it is not by the same magic, but the opposite of it. Instead of darkness, it needs to be fought with light. So let's do some training!
She throws around some magic darkness or something as a beginner's course, then after he aces that, she ups the difficulty. He ends up seeing the bad guys he's faced over the years, and the deaths that have occurred in between. He comes to dazed, and Fortuna tells him until he can fight the darkness he saw within him with light, training him further would be pointless. Hopefully he didn't have to pay for that course.
"You know, I'm overdue for a boyfriend betrayal/murder this season. Cross my fingers on this one working out!"
Cages of All Kinds. Thea and Alex are back at the house as Thea is getting really suspicious now. She figured out those noises are on a loop like a recording, and by the time on the clock, it should be nighttime, but its not. And then she sees Alex down some vitamins, specifically ones that look like the pills Darhk uses to brainwash his people! That's why you don't get pills from the mayor you work for! So where is she?
Before we get there, Diggle is getting patched up by Lyla, and trying to figure out why Andy would torture him in the first place. Could be because Andy put a tracer on you and staged your escape so you could lead Darhk and HIVE to where Lyla is, Diggle…which is exactly what it is! The semi gets ambushed by HIVE, and eventually stopped by Darhk's magic palm. They call for help, only to find ARGUS headquarters is under attack by HIVE, and Team Arrow is not responding, so Lyla tells Diggle to escape with Sara, so that Darhk can't use their child as some bargaining chip. Diggle flies out of the back of the semi on a motorcycle with baby Sara in his backpack like Luke carrying Yoda, and Andy pursues them. He gets cornered by some HIVE goons, but gets a quick save by Felicity hitting them with a van. Andy flees, but Diggle hands off Sara to Felicity, and goes after him.
Brother's Keeper. Back at the semi, Lyla holds off most of the goons until Darhk freezes her with his powers. He hopes to find Sara, but no such luck there, which leaves him to force something out of Lyla's wrist. Before things can get worse, Darhk is hit by an arrow by an arriving Ollie, and in an ensuing fight, grabs Ollie and starts his little soul sucking trick. Only Ollie thinks outloud, "The Force?", closes his eyes and focuses…okay, he doesn't channel The Force and its not that movie, but he does get some positive power and sends Darhk packing.
Meanwhile, Diggle catches up with Andy and beats him down. He plans on taking his brother in to pay for his crimes, but Andy tells him as long as HIVE is alive, he'll keep coming for his family. Despite Diggle not wanting to do it and because of Andy's constant needling and threats, Diggle finally snaps and shoots Andy dead! Jeez! Ollie arrives to find Diggle looking over Andy's dead body, saying he didn't have a choice. Probably not, but still…
STOP! IN THE NAME OF DARHK!
What Is Necessary. Back at Arrow HQ, Ollie tells Felicity about what happened with Darhk and reveals why he thinks he was able to fight off the dark magic. He thought of someone who brought light to his life: her. Well, that's sweet. Diggle goes to see Lyla coming to in the HQ, and tells her what happened, minus the whole murdering his little brother in cold blood part. As tough as this is, Lyla notices the wound on her arm and starts really panicking.
The reason everyone should be panicking is that it involves that Rubicon program ARGUS has that was almost stolen earlier this season. To secure it, Lyla had it downloaded into a chip implanted in her arm, which Darhk removed. It was a program meant to contain the world's nuclear arsenal, but in HIVE's hands, could control all those warheads. So HIVE's big Genesis plan is to destroy the world, but how does Darhk and HIVE benefit from this or survive?
Cut to Thea running around the neighborhood, spotting HIVE soldiers, and running into a field…only to find its a hologram wall! That's right, that underground facility we saw a while back is basically going to be home for HIVE while the rest of humanity is nuked to oblivion! Also, this means Thea is the star of her own Truman Show! Does this mean Malcolm Merlyn will get to talk to to her from the sky like Ed Harris does in that movie? We got three more episodes to find out!
–Comic book connections: Hub City is the home city of the DCU hero The Question. Fortuna seems to be a version of the DCU mystical character Madame Xanadu, not to be confused with the movie Xanadu.
–While there was no flashbacks this episode, did you notice in the flashes of dead that Ollie saw that Taiana was there, with the same glowing yellow eyes Ollie has when he turned light powers onto Darhk?
–Just give it up to David Ramsey for that performance throughout this episode, but especially that last act, where he's dealing with what he just did to his brother, bad guy or not.
–Darhk had a lot of time to think about Bundt cake while in prison. Oh, and murdering his fellow associates too.
–Who doesn't John Constantine owe money to is my question.
–Felicity's reply when hearing about Genesis coming: "I don't think so. Phil Collins said they'd never tour again." (Also, who else was expecting a Star Trek II reference there?)
–"Oh, it's been a while since I hit someone with this thing."
–"Well he's not coming to play gin rummy."
–"Anyone else care to do something stupid?"
That's it for now, but leave your comments and come back next week for the recap of "Monument Point"…

Re-opening the Curtains
The film industry's response to the new COVID-19 restrictions and how students are reacting to movie theaters opening up.
Black Widow from the upcoming movie, "Black Widow"
Nikki Mielcarek , Staff Writer
With COVID-19 restrictions slowly lifting, movie theaters are beginning to welcome viewers back in person all over the U.S.
The industry delayed dozens of new releases over the past year, disappointing millions of viewers.
But now, fans rejoice as their favorite movies are beginning to appear on the big screen.
In 2020, to address the movie hold-ups, studios put out their own streaming platforms: Disney+, Netflix, Hulu and more.
In the absence of theaters, fans flocked to these platforms, creating opportunities for companies to reach out to viewers in a new way, including exclusive access to new films and weekly released TV shows.
For example, freshman Kendall Keshen watched the new Disney+ premier access movie "Raya the Last Dragon" and said, "I love watching in the comfort of my own home."
But while viewers gained access to their favorite media at home, theaters suffered from the lack of business.
This led movie theaters to offer single-party viewings, allowing patrons to rent out entire theaters for as little as $100.
Marvel held back its big blockbuster "Black Widow" for almost a year. After three delays, Marvel now promises to release the film on July 9.
"I am looking forward to seeing "Black Widow" the most. I am a big fan of Marvel and Avengers movies," sophomore Zoë Stephens said.
Other upcoming soon-to-be-released movies include "Free Guy" (May 21), starring Ryan Reynolds, and "Cruella " (May 28), starring Emma Stone.
It looks like there will be "some intriguing upcoming movies," Zoë said.
Still, some are reluctant to go to theaters and being in an enclosed space with fabric chairs, where COVID-19 can be easily transmitted.
But there is still hope. Theaters have guidelines in place to make sure viewers can enjoy movies without worrying about the virus.
While watching "The Unholy" in a theater, senior Taylor Smith said, "Considering it's not a 'COVID safe' activity, I felt safe."
Life is slowly returning to normal. Santa Barbara County recently moved from the red tier to the orange tier which allowed for more people to visit restaurants and movie theaters.
The community, although relieved, is still proceeding with caution.
"I hope that if they increase capacity, they will mandate proof of vaccination," Taylor said.
Overall, this is a significant step for the movie industry, and audiences hope things will get even better in time.
If the community continues social distancing and wearing masks, things will be back to normal in no time.

Picking up the harp (or more accurately standing with or sitting next to it) is unlike learning to play any other instrument. The harp is unique, a work of art in itself, and complex and difficult both to play and to maintain.
The Venova is intended to be super accessible and fun to play, without requiring years of practice and private lessons to learn. It's a hybrid instrument that blends the simplicity of a recorder with the sound of a saxophone.
This guide explains some of the more unique orchestral instruments you might see and hear from time to time in a symphony orchestra.
Yamaha's latest wind instrument, the Venova, is compact, durable, and great for a saxophone sound on the go. Check out Grace Kelly's demonstration!
Check out this rendition of "When the Saints Go Marching In," on Yamaha's latest wind instrument, the Venova. These instruments are durable, water-washable, and compact, so they make a great option for music on the go and, they're just really fun!

ANNICK MACASKILL Reviews
For Your Safety Please Hold On by Kayla Czaga
(Nightwood Editions, 2014)
[First published in BONE BOUQUET, Vol. 6, Issue 1, Spring 2015, Editor-in-chief Krystal Languell]
Kayla Czaga's debut collection, For Your Safety Please Hold On, caps off her triumph in the Canadian literary scene over the past few years, including publications in journals across the country (Room, Contemporary Verse 2, ARC Poetry Magazine, and The Antigonish Review, among others), and several major poetry prizes. Divided into five sections, Mother and Father, The Family, For Play, For Your Safety Please Hold On, and Many Metaphorical Birds, Czaga's book follows a thematic organization, while the tone remains relatively consistent. Her playful humor and love of puns, for example (though most present, unsurprisingly, in For Play), run throughout the book. Consider, for instance, a stanza from Many Metaphorical Birds, on the subject of philosophy and baristas:
Jeremy is Hegeling with a customer
over milk-fat percentages,
Adornoing his pastry case.
Here "Jeremy," the barista who makes appearances throughout this book's section, appears to interrupt the poet's musings on life, death, meaning, and the divine. Punning on two notable philosophers, Hegel and Adorno, the speaker reveals her characteristic lightheartedness, while at the same time reinforcing the importance of the coffee shop as the place where her readings collide with her reality.
This mix of gravitas and humor runs throughout Czaga's collection.
The book's first sections, Mother and Father and The Family, contain poems around the stated subjects, in which she unravels an origin story that tells of a childhood in Western Canada marked by tragedy, laughter, and her Ukrainian background. The poet finds herself at odds with her father, but in the best, most poetic of ways. In "Another Poem about my Father," the speaker writes:
I don't get poetry either. Mostly I get cavities,
junk mail. Once, I got eleven hundred dollars
in small change from my father for Christmas.
He said, You've got to work for your money –
meaning you've got to haul it through six feet
of snow to the bank, Good luck, here's a bag.
My father is more like a poem than most poems
are.
Alongside her parents, the poet showcases a coterie of family members, identified in the poems' titles, from "The Family" to "The Grandfather," "The Grandmother," "The Other Grandmother," and even, "The Not-Grandfathers." Despite this generalized presentation, there is something highly personal about these characters in the level of detail offered by the speaker, not to mention the frequent use of the second-person voice. Czaga frames her version of a coming-of-age story as a universal experience, the family's quirks overshadowed only by the profound sense of intimacy that emerges:
Your other grandmother drank her husbands
under the coffee table. She slapped your cheeks
with stories, kissed you with myth, carried
on into all hours, carrying children on
both her hips and shoulders.
Czaga's poetry suggests a fine balancing act, tackling sensitive and personal subjects like family tragedies and romantic love without veering off into sentimentality. Never maudlin, her poems have a certain understated quality, as in "That Great Burgandy-Upholstered [sic] Beacon of Dependability," in the book's fourth section. A modern ode on love, it considers the cautious hopefulness of an early but promising relationship:
You thank my landlady
for dinner and roll away into a night
that imperfectly intersects with my own, and I try
to stop imagining the ways we could fail
Besides the aforementioned humor and puns, her style is one of carefully manipulated plain language. Czaga has a knack for finding le mot juste, without picking words that call too much attention to themselves, like in the beginning of "The Family":
The religious aunt lolls in a lawn chair, large and alone.
Her moustache twitches, as she dreams of the Lord's
clean feet.
The strength of Czaga's poetry comes first and foremost from her ability to see the remarkable in her everyday, and to share those remarkable moments simply, without overreaching for a cleverness that would obscure the beauty that is already there. Her simplicity is, in this way, deceptive, resulting in writing that doesn't look like writing, and a book that reads like a whooshing bus ride, as in "William Cook":
His daddy's in the navy and mom's skirts
shortening with another brother. But Bill
will always be the biggest, the most jeans

Nova sees a domestic practice as a set pattern in which different household members play different roles, usually making use of artifacts and products, to satisfy a fundamental need.
A practice is a usage pattern. The household is an arena where usage patterns are operating. A usage pattern is an action that a specific person performs at a specific time and place for a specific reason with specific means.
It is not Nova's core business to design, manufacture or promote domestic products loose of the practices that applies such products. A practice is the vehicle through which a given product is taken up in the household. It is the practice that must be developed and multiplied, not the product.
Any given technical solution to a problem will only be used by residents when it functions within a domestic practice and has become part of their daily way of living. Such a practice can be developed by people from outside and people inside the household working together.
We designed the Brickstar stove together with households, from our part providing technical guidance. Initially, five different prototypes of the locally built stove were implemented in households to be tested and developed towards a final prototype.
The stove has been taken to more than 4 000 households, not by selling stoves as products, but by community projects where people were assisted to build their own stoves, use them and maintain them on their own.

Jungle (2017)
Director: Greg McLean
Writer: Justin Monjo (Screenplay) Yossi Ghinsberg (Book)
Starring: Daniel Radcliffe, Thomas Kretschmann, Alex Russell, Joel Jackson, Lily Sullivan, Joel Jackson
Plot: A group of friends join a guide for a trek into the Bolivian jungle, searching for an Indian village. The men soon realize that the jungle is a difficult place to be.
Tagline – Nature Has Only One Law – Survival
There may be spoilers the rest of the review
Verdict: Brutal Adventure Story
Story: Jungle starts as we follow Israeli young men Yossi Ghinsberg (Radcliffe) as he spends a planned year travelling, finding himself in Bolivia meeting Marcus (Jackson) and Kevin (Russell) two fellow travellers. When they meet guide Karl (Kretschmann) he offers to guide them through the jungle, which the three accept as an experience they couldn't refuse.
When Marcus becomes injured and unable to walk, the group must find another way out of the jungle, which involve heading down the river on a raft. This causes the group to split up with Karl taking Marcus back by foot, while Yossi and Kevin head off further into the jungle. Once the friends hit some strong rapids, the two becomes separate and now Yossi is alone in the jungle.
Thoughts on Jungle
Characters – Yossi is the Israeli backpacker that in Bolivia heads off into the jungle with newly found friends, when he gets separated we follow his epic battle to survive the wilderness in the harsh environment where he must learn to survive. Kevin is the American photographer that joins on the adventure through the jungle hoping to get some breath-taking shots, he does get them but does find himself alone once he gets split up from the rest of the group. Karl is the guide that knows he way through the jungle, he takes the injured Marcus back to safety leaving the other two to fend for themselves.
Performances – Daniel Radcliffe is fantastic in this leading role, he continues to push himself away from the Harry Potter films with another challenging role which pushed to the limits. We have a good supporting cast who all perform well, but they don't get much time to be anything but good.
Story – The story follows Yossi incredible story of survival when he got lost in the Bolivian jungle. It starts out as an innocent trip in the jungle, but soon turns into a nightmare, this is based on the book by Yossi, so, well you know how it is going to end, but seeing what he goes through is hellacious to say the least. If you want to see a story of one man's desperate battle to survive then this one will be for you to enjoy.
Action/Adventure – The action adventure side of the film shows just how much Yossi must do to survive the situation he finds himself in and just what he must do to survive.
Settings – The film is set in the jungle, which makes perfect sense, we get to see just how real the experience would have been for Yossi, we even get the moments of beauty he was searching for.
Special Effects – We have a mix of effects here, the practical ones that Radcliffe goes through, but the strange vision sequences don't seem to click well enough.
Scene of the Movie – Head Bug.
That Moment That Annoyed Me – It needed more in the endurance.
Final Thoughts – This is a film that has a brilliant performance from Radcliffe who goes through a hell of a lot. It does feel slightly long in places though.
Overall: Radcliffe Shines.

ABC Film Challenge – What I Enjoyed in 2017 – O
What I Enjoyed in 2017
This month I won't be doing reviews at all, just a small discussion to what I enjoyed last year, you will be able to find my reviews by following the link HERE
Why I've Picked this choice – Okja follows a young girl Mija who has been caring for a creature known as a Super Pig, an animal that is designed to end word hunger, the two have become best friends and when Okja is taken away she goes on a world trip in search for her best friend meeting the colourful characters along the way. The cast is amazing Tilda Swinton, scene stealing Jake Gyllenhaal, Steven Yuen from The Walking Dead, the ever-incredible Paul Dano and new comer Seo-Hyun Ahn. This film shows just how capable Netflix are to produce original content that has a powerful meaning that does tug on the heart strings and is one of the first films anybody signing up to Netflix should be watching.

2017 Award Best Comedy
January is here and that means award season and for the whole of January I will be looking at a range of best and worst subjects, before going into what I think are the true best nominations.
Psych: The Movie
Reason – This is a slick action comedy with music for each and every scene, we have humour when it comes to the action movies without being a parody in a way that only Edgar Wright can do.


View cart "Polished Dinosaur Bone Slice 4" has been added to your cart.
Archaeodontosaurus ("ancient-toothed lizard") is a genus of sauropod dinosaur from the Middle Jurassic. Its fossils were found in Madagascar. The type species, Archaeodontosaurus descouensi, was described in September 2005. The specific name honours the collector, Didier Descouens. It is a probable sauropod, with prosauropod-like teeth.

The Klou and I are back in FLA and looking to play some G40.
This time we are willing to play either side.
TripleA Lobby – once again kudos to these people. Many fun hours spent there.
Marathon session – we're on vacation and we want to play until there is a clear resolution.
Skype? It makes it easier and more fun.
Send me a message here in the forum or post a response in this thread.
Used all three approaches. It depended on how the allies spent/placed their bid.
We are closing the books on this one. Vacation ends tomorrow; back to our respective homes.
Simon was unable to beat us, but he showed us some things to think about.
But this exercise was not about the wins and losses, rather about opening our eyes to new allied tactics and strategies.
In that light, both Pete and Simon are big winners – we are looking forward to the chance to use our new insights in games against each other and online.
Simon, we have stuff to do today (Monday) in the afternoon and into the early evening.
And we are in the midst of a match with Pete.
Tuesday is a baseball game.
Wednesday looks good for a rematch. Afternoon same start time as before.
We have suffered our first defeat.
Pete's strategy was well planned and we made mistakes on both sides of the board.
And Pete capitalized very effectively. VERY effectively.
The rubber match starts tomorrow.
Allied navy with shipping of many nations (US and UK carriers with planes and supporting BB, Cruisers and DD; ANZAC Cruiser; French DD; UK and US Transports; Russian Inf on UK transport) in SZ 95.
Russian turn; Russian inf unloads onto Sicily, no defenders.
Three Italian fighters in southern Italy.
Can the Italian fighters scramble? We think not, as the shipping is not involved in the battle (it is the Russian turn).
TripleA gave the option to do so. Scramble declined for above reason.
If scramble is allowed who do they attack? just the UK Transport with the Russian Inf? Its not the UK turn.
Can we get an OFFICIAL ruling from Gamerman01 or Krieghund or another rules deputy.
Since Yunnan is alive I would say yes, but I'm not sure what the accepted "house rule " is for that.
People have done it to me before.
It is OK by us.
We'll look for you in the lobby.
We have baseball games the next two days (Monday and Tuesday) so we would have to start a little later; after the baseball game is over (an hour or two later than our previous starts).
Klou is busy Wednesday and Thursday, but I could play 1v1 on those days. I'd be willing to be the allies at 25 if you want to switch.
Sounds good, we'll look for you at the same time in the tripleA lobby.
We'll give you more if you want (25+).
Waited an hour and still want to play, but we are on the east coast of US; late here 1:30am.
Send us an email or post a time here. We'll try to get a mutual time despite the time difference.
OK. We'll look for you in the TripleA lobby. signed in as klou and gamergray.
We're looking for very good Allied player(s).
Not even when we give the Allies 20+ points.
Looking for opponents not a discussion.
Using suggestions from the likes of ItIsILeclerc, Axis-dominion, Gargntua, Arthur Bomber Harris, Adam514, DizzKneeLand, Gamerman01, and too many others to mention, we've tried to develop a counter for the allies, but with no success.
Of course, the problem may be in our marshaling of the allied forces. We invite you to school us.
TripleA Lobby – kudos to the sourceforge team. Many fun hours spent there.
Marathon session – we're on vacation (spring training baseball) and we want to play until there is a clear resolution.
We've become prideful and arrogant. Someone needs to teach us a lesson.
Seriously, show us what we are missing.
Send a time and date. Will respond asap.
On vacation until April 1 2016.
What prevents the SS from engaging the AP(transport)?
The sub stops the transport if is is alone.
If the BB or CA don't engage the SS why does the SS not stop the transport?
1. Does a sub prevent bombardment from cruisers and battleships (no destroyer present) I think attacker can choose to ignore the sub, right?
But, a lone transport cannot make an amphibious assault against a Sub. A surface ship is needed to drive it off.
If the BB and the CA do not drive off the SS, how is the AP able to get past the SS?
If the BB and/or the CA engage the SS, then no bombardment.

-Mahlon DeLong, Emory University for defining the interlocking circuits in the brain that malfunction in Parkinson's disease.
-Michael Hall, University of Basel for the discovery of Target of Rapamycin (TOR) and its role in cell growth control.
-Richard Lifton, Yale University; Howard Hughes Medical Institute for the discovery of genes and biochemical mechanisms that cause hypertension.
"Scientists should be celebrated as heroes, and we are honored to be part of today's celebration of the newest winners of the Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences and the Fundamental Physics Prize," said Anne Wojcicki and Sergey Brin.
The prize ceremony was hosted by actor Kevin Spacey, and awards were presented by the Prize sponsors and by celebrities including Conan O'Brien, Glenn Close, Rob Lowe and Michael C. Hall. The event was organized in cooperation with Vanity Fair and produced and directed by Don Mischer, the producer and director of the Academy Awards, among other television and live events. Grammy-nominated singer Lana Del Ray performed live for the guests of the ceremony.
The event will be televised by the Science Channel, one of the Discovery networks; it will be broadcast at 9pm on January 27, 2013.
At the end of the ceremony, Mark Zuckerberg and Yuri Milner announced the launch of a new $3 million Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics. The details of the new prize will be announced at a later date.
"The Breakthrough Prize is our effort to put the spotlight on these amazing heroes. Their work in physics and genetics, cosmology, neurology and mathematics will change lives for generations and we are excited to celebrate them," commented Mark Zuckerberg.
On December 13, there will be two Breakthrough Prize Symposiums: at Stanford, on the Future of Fundamental Science; and at the University of California, San Francisco, on the Future of the Biological Sciences. Winners of the Breakthrough Prize from 2012, 2013 and 2014 will give lectures and take part in panel discussions before an invited audience.
The Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics and Life Sciences are founded by Sergey Brin & Anne Wojcicki, Jack Ma & Cathy Zhang, Yuri & Julia Milner and Mark Zuckerberg & Priscilla Chan. The prizes aim to celebrate scientists and generate excitement about the pursuit of science as a career.

Over the years, I've had the privilege of coaching and supporting hundreds of professional athletes. During that time I've learned that there are many ways to physically prepare and to personally create optimal performance. I have found that what works for one athlete is often not the best way to train another athlete. I have grown to really appreciate these nuances. This year's Australian Open tennis finals (both men's and women's) demonstrated some of these nuances perfectly.
On one end of the spectrum you have the hard-driving work machine who simply is driven to just outwork their competition. Everything they do is intense, long, and punishing. He or she is driven by the belief that if they work harder and longer than everybody else, they will always come out on top. When things don't go their way, they double their physical efforts.
On the other end of the spectrum you have the strategist. They are strategic in how they spend their energy and they try to apply the "right" amount of intensity to each task. They reflect on what they do well, they calculate the cost of their effort and approach, and they maximize what they do well. They see the big picture when it comes to the stress/recovery curve and would rather undertrain than overtrain so they have some extra gas in the tank if they need it in their competition.
As we work with executives, athletes, coaches, and special operators, we also see these two approaches. There are those who grind day in and day out and others who approach their work strategically and intentionally to spend their energy, time, and effort where it will make the greatest impact. Both of these approaches can be highly effective but our experience has shown us the latter is more sustainable.
What is your personal preference? Has this approach changed as you've gotten older? Would you sometimes benefit from applying both approaches? Is your approach sustainable? Does your approach optimize your strengths so you can maximize your impact?
As I stated in my opening, I am fascinated by the nuances of working/training approaches. At the same time, I am passionate about making sure your approach gets you the Sustainable High Performance results you want. In athletic terms, I want you to be an energetic, mentally agile problem-solver who can win in tough competition while remaining injury free.
As always we'd love to hear your thoughts.
Shhhh - What Do You Hear?


Dorm room bed skirts sometimes need to be quite good in design and quality for making the students comfort staying at their dorm room. We know that when we are entering a new school, especially the boarding one, staying in the dorm would be quite challenging. Staying at the dormitories is fun because you are surrounded by your education environments, friends, parties, and others. However, staying at the dormitories sometimes can be quite frustrated because it does not feel like home. That is why it is important for you to keep the best design of your dorm room bed that would make you comfort staying at your dorm.
You can make your bed looks beautiful using the best bed skirts.

So, choosing the dorm room bed skirts is the best solutions for you who want to make your small dorm comfy enough to be stay.


Antonio Brown (84) of the Pittsburgh Steelers looks for a pass interference call after missing a catch while being defended by Isaac Yiadom (41) of the Denver Broncos during the third quarter on Sunday, Nov. 25, 2018. The Denver Broncos hosted the Pittsburgh Steelers.
What exactly do you think the Broncos are doing? Joe Flacco is OK, but that doesn't signal "rebuild" to me. That signals "reload." With Kansas City and the Chargers being as good as they are, what exactly is John Elway thinking?
— Blake Marshall, Lincoln, Neb.
We start off this Combine Eve Mailbag with a simple second guess of Broncos management. But to your question, I never thought the Broncos were in total "rebuild" mode and that was confirmed when they put the deal in place to acquire a 34-year old quarterback in Flacco. What is Elway thinking? Rightly or wrongly, he believes the Broncos are better than last year's 6-10 record and the combination of a mostly new coaching staff, new quarterback, free agent additions and a full 2019 draft can propel them back into playoff contention. It would have been fascinating to see the Broncos strip down their roster to discard multiple veterans and create salary cap space for 2020, but that doesn't appear to be their plan.
What are the chances John Elway upgrades the wide receiver position with, say, Antonio Brown? Unless Pittsburgh wants an astronomical return, with his relatively low cap hit and no guaranteed money, seems it would at least be worth exploring.
Elway must upgrade the receiver position, be it adding a Nos. 2-2A type to play alongside Emmanuel Sanders (if he's back) and Courtland Sutton. But it would be a surprise if 1) The Steelers agreed to trade Brown to an AFC team, and 2) The Broncos were willing to give up a Day 2 draft pick for him and they were fine with the contractual commitment. Per Over The Cap, Brown's cap numbers for 2019-21 are $22.165 million, $18.34 million and $19.54 million. That is not a relatively low cap hit and is a ton of money for a guy who is 30 years old. I'd pass.
Why is John Elway still the GM? He hasn't made the Broncos good at any position.
Ol' Randy cut right to the point, didn't he? Elway remains the general manager because he helped build a Super Bowl-winning defense. But the Broncos have missed the playoffs three consecutive years. Elway remains under no threat of dismissal so long as there is no controlling owner in place. As for his position-by-position work, the Broncos should feel good about their situations at running back (Royce Freeman and Phillip Lindsay), outside linebacker (Von Miller and Bradley Chubb). Everything else leaves much to be desired.
Hi, Ryan. Some people think the Cardinals might entertain offers for Josh Rosen and then draft Kyler Murray. Rosen would probably require a first-round pick — he did go No. 10 last year. I actually follow the Cardinals and even though Rosen didn't blow people away last year, he did play behind the worst O-line in the league and just got destroyed. Do you think that Rosen is better than any quarterback the Broncos could draft at 10? It doesn't look like Drew Lock or Dwayne Haskins will still be there. What if they used the No. 10 pick to move back to maybe Nos. 13 or 15 (and pick up a draft pick), and then offered that pick to the Cards?
— Jim Niederriter, Springfield, Mo.
The Broncos could have had Rosen with the fifth overall pick last year, but passed to take Chubb. The Cardinals' plan at No. 1 is the wild card. If new coach Kliff Kingsbury convinces management to take Murray, then Rosen will be available. If Elway didn't like Rosen enough to draft him last year, will he like him enough this year to trade for him? Probably not with Flacco in the fold. If the Broncos want a quarterback at No. 10, they should learn to like Lock or Daniel Jones because I expect Haskins and Murray to be off the board in the first seven picks.
Unless Case Keenum can land a No. 1 QB job with someone else, rather than send him off to be a No. 2 for some other team, why not see if he will restructure his contract to be No. 2 for the Broncos? Or are Joe Flacco and Keenum so different that a single offensive scheme won't really work for both? With so many injuries to the offensive line and receivers, and play-calling that we at home could often guess correctly ahead of the play, the Broncos' offensive troubles were not all Keenum's fault.
Having Keenum around as the demoted No. 1 quarterback would be a self-inflicted distraction. Flacco will be the starter. Keenum is no longer the starter, deemed not good enough by the Broncos. It's time to move him on down the road. Some of your points about Keenum not having things go well around him are valid, but those are all excuses. Yes, it wasn't all Keenum's fault, but this isn't a fair game.
The Broncos have a few positions to fill. Do you think the Broncos will try to keep Bradley Roby and Case Keenum? Do you believe that the Broncos should keep Brandon Marshall? Do you believe that the Broncos should set an identity early in the draft to show what they're trying to do to get back as a playoff contender? The AFC West is going to get better — especially Kansas City and the Chargers. The Broncos and Raiders at this point look suspect. Do you believe Elway knows how to get the best out of his players like Mr. Bowlen? I love Mr. B. He's the man. Do you believe the Broncos have lost their edge or toughness?
1. I don't expect them to keep Keenum and the only reason to keep Roby is if he finds the market has dried up and is willing to take a one-year "prove-it" contract with the Broncos. I still wouldn't sign him under that scenario. 2. Marshall's time had run out with the Broncos because they felt he wasn't a three-down player anymore. But he will help a team (at a lower salary) in a cover linebacker role. 3. The Broncos' identity will be stated in the opening days of free agency by which players they sign and which players they let walk. This is a locker room that needs a culture shift and that should be reflected in the veterans they add. 4. It's not Elway's job to get the best out of the players. It's his job to get the best players and then let Vic Fangio and Co. coach them up. 5. I'll never question a team's toughness because this is a brutal game played by tough men. But their edge? If that can be folded into a sense of entitlement and no sense of urgency, then maybe they have lost that edge.
Do you see the NFL handling down a punishment to Patriots owner Robert Kraft for his, um, excursion down in Florida?
Yes, I would expect Kraft would be fined and suspended if he is found guilty.
With Demaryius Thomas available on the market, do you see Denver trying to bring him back on the roster?
I don't. Thomas' career with the Broncos ended with his deadline trade to the Houston Texans for a fourth-round pick. Thomas sustained a torn Achilles late in the Texans' regular season.
The Broncos' secondary struggled hard last year. John Elway absolutely needs to pick up another cornerback to line up opposite Chris Harris. Do you see him finding one in the draft or is there someone out there in free agency who the Broncos can nab?
I agree that addressing cornerback should be a priority. And I would add multiple cornerbacks. Harris is the clear No. 1, but the Broncos should try and sign a player in free agency who can play over the slot receiver and thus allow Harris to travel with an opponent's best receiver. And I would also take one in the first few rounds of the draft.


POLICE have pledged to investigate claims that a group of high school pupils have been smoking cannabis during break-times.
A resident living near Rhyddings High School has video footage showing a group of six teenagers apparently rolling and smoking "joints" outside Oswaldtwistle Town Hall.
The resident, who did not want to be named, later captured the same group inside the school grounds - not smoking this time - suggesting they are pupils at the school.
She claimed to have seen the pupils on three different occasions. They would spend most of their lunch-break smoking at the side of the Town Hall.
She said: "I think this should be brought to the public's attention. Where are these kids getting it from? The police should be trying to find out who the dealer is."
"It isn't right that this should be happening - the kids are able to stroll up and down doing whatever they like. I don't feel that they are being monitored closely enough."
Mr Barry Burke, headteacher of Rhyddings, said he had not been contacted directly about the problem, but he pledged to work with community police officers to deal with it.
He added: "We have a good record of working closely with the police - we recently represented the Eastern Division of Lancashire Police at a presentation to the Chief Constable about the way we have co-operated and made policing more effective."
"It is disappointing that whoever has taken this video footage hasn't first approached the school, but if the information is given to us, we will certainly act on it."
"We take matters like this seriously."
Sergeant Bob Eaton, who oversees the community beat managers at Accrington Police Station, said his team would use the video to identify the pupils concerned by working with the school.
He stressed that although there was no evidence that the boys were using illegal drugs, his officers would monitor the area and if the group was found to be smoking cannabis, they could be arrested.
He added: "We are aware of a number of complaints about the activities of youths in this area but they are mainly about drinking alcohol."
"The film shows some very suspicious activity but would certainly not be of sufficient evidential value to warrant an arrest under the Misuse of Drugs Act."
"We will try to identify those on camera and our current operation to tackle the broader juvenile problem should also be capable of addressing this."
"We would like to thank the complainant for making us aware of this and we will be contacting her to let her know of our activity in the area."
Cannabis was recently downgraded from a Class B to a Class C drug, but police can still arrest users who are under 17 or vulnerable, repeat offenders, anyone smoking it in public view or anyone in possession of it close to youth premises.
