Daily Ghost Post – V is for Vazimba
Little did I realize that my foray into the world of ghosts would lead to strong political reactions, academic questions, and time spent poring through books about exorcism rites. What was I thinking? Actually it's so much fun I can hardly stand it.
The Vazimba are believed to be the first settlers in Madagascar. Ruled by queens (!!!), they were an agricultural people who were considered primitive by the next wave of settlers in Madagascar. That is because the Vazimba did not use or know metal. To the newer settlers, it was almost as if the Vazimba lived in a different age.
Why the Vazimba people disappeared is a bit of a quandary. Oral history suggests that their kingdoms (queendoms!!) were conquered by other colonial groups. It is also thought that they succumbed to acculturation. Whatever the process, there is no disagreement about the end result: the Vazimba people and their culture died out. It is an unfortunate and true historical story that often plays out when new settlers come to stay.
Although the Vazimba died out, legends and lore suggest that their spirits didn't go away. Some say the Vazimba haunt grave sites, others say they are found in caves in their historical homeland. According to scholar Hans Austnaberg, they are evil spirits associated with places where people fall ill.
Yeah, this is complicated for many reasons, not the least of which is that the people of Madagascar – the Malagasy – have a strong connection to the spirit world.
THE WORLD OF SPIRITS
The subject of spirits and ghosts in Madagascar is a very complex, so I will just graze the surface here. If you are interested in more, check out the resources below for more information.
In Madagascar, there is reverence for the dead and rituals for how to treat them. For example, it has been reported that people go so far as to re-wrap and re-bury their dead to make them more comfortable in the afterlife.
Ancestral spirits provide protection if they are treated well. Spirits of the non-ancestral dead tend to cause harm. Called kinoly, they are associated with grave sites. Because of the kinoly's penchant for causing harm, people take grave care when near cemeteries (pun definitely intended). Taboos, such as not making noise near graves, are practiced to avoid bothering the kinoly. The last thing you want to do is irritate a kinoly because it will be the last thing you do. The kinoly like to tear out livers and other organs.
So how do the Vazimba figure into the world of the spirits? In two ways.
First, if the Vazimba were conquered or assimilated into other cultures, their descendants probably lost track of where they were buried. In that case, the people could not have kept up with their ritual care-giving. Perhaps that explains why there is a belief among some Malagasy that Vazimba spirits are very angry. That would make them perfect ghostly trouble makers, like those who cause illness.
Second, over time, the memory of the Vazimba, a long ago people of Madagascar, may have eroded and changed in the popular imagination. If Wikipedia is accurate on this, they are now sometimes viewed as monsters. Described as looking different and/or being of different stature, it is also said that they might not have been human at all.
To many Malagasy, the Vazimba ghosts are true and real. They are intertwined in the long-held beliefs in the world of the spirits. A deep part of Malagasy spiritual life, they represent pure, cultural belief.
But on a metaphorical level, the Vazimba ghosts can provide a useful, jumping off place for consideration of a broader topic.
There is a common human tendency to view people of distant times or cultures as different. From there, it is an easy next step is to call them monsters or evil spirits. It is an unfortunate human universal that things unfamiliar are tagged as troublesome, that people with different world views or opinions become 'scapeghosts.'
That human tendency to accuse and label is darker than any ghost story, and one that I hope will finally stop haunting the world's people.
What are your thoughts about this? In what ways does society label the unfamiliar as evil?

Daily Ghost Post – Q is for Queen Anne Boleyn's Ghost
Tower of London Scaffold
Queen Anne Boleyn was executed at the Tower of London in 1536 and has haunted England ever since. It is not clear why she comes, but I have a guess…
Anne Boleyn was the second of King Henry VIII's luckless wives and the first to meet her end at the end of an executioner's blade. Mother of beloved Queen Elizabeth I, she was unable to give Henry any sons in their short marriage. Henry was not patient. When he wanted something, he wanted it immediately. He was probably working on sons with soon-to-be next wife Jane Seymour when he accused his current wife, Anne Boleyn, of adultery. To make things even more juicy, she was accused of an adulterous liaison was with her brother, among others. These alleged, treasonous acts were probably malicious rumors started by her enemies. But they were incredibly convenient, so the King bought into them.
The trial was swift and her guilt was declared. Brought to the Tower of London to await her execution, Anne lived out her last days in prayer. Her death was easy, well easy as beheadings go.
Queen Anne Boleyn's reign was significant because her marriage to King Henry VIII changed the course of English history. A very abridged version goes like this: When King Henry fell for Anne, he was already married to Catherine of Aragon. Since Cathy gave him no sons, he asked the Pope to annul his marriage.. The Pope declined. So Henry broke away from Catholicism and Rome. But while he was at it, he broke ALL of England away from Rome and started a brand new religion, the Church of England. Then his marriage to Catherine was annulled by the Church of England and he was free to marry Anne Boleyn.
Reviled by many for her liaison and marriage to Henry, Anne Boleyn was seen as a troublemaker who caused her country's rift with the Church. Others considered her a gifted queen who forged important political connections with France. Later in history, she was viewed as a martyr. For good or ill, Queen Anne Boleyn was a powerful figure in England.
QUEEN ANNE'S GHOST
I don't know when the first sighting of her ghost occurred, but it was seen in many places, many times. On the anniversary of her death, on May 19, Queen Anne's ghost appears at Bickling Hall in Norfolk. She arrives in style in a carriage pulled by headless horses and driven by a headless driver. In keeping with the theme, she is also headless. She also is seen at the Tower of London. Once, a guard saw an intruder who wouldn't stop when confronted, so he wielded his sword. Wasn't he surprised when the weapon went right through her ghostly body. This Tower incident was not only reported by that guard, but witnessed by someone else – the ghost is thought to be Anne.
On Christmas Eve, Queen Anne Boleyn haunts Hever Castle, which was her childhood home. She also appears at Windsor Castle, Hampton Court and other places of prominence.
Many cultures around the world have folklore that features women who return to haunt and sometimes harm. Typically, those ghosts were women who received poor treatment in life or died under questionable circumstances. The ones who cause harm are categorized as vengeful ghosts. The brutal historical record suggests that Anne Boleyn would fit right into that ghostly clique.
But Queen Anne's ghost doesn't do harm. She doesn't toss her head and cry, "Catch!" She doesn't even say boo. So, if she doesn't return to avenge her death, what might she be doing instead?
I think that her specter returns to remind people about civility and justice. It strikes me as proper and right (and even a bit ironic) for someone who helped change the course of a nation's spirituality to remind that same nation, through her spirit's visits, about the consequences of hypocrisy and the abuse of power.
As I see it, the ghost of Queen Anne Boleyn is a former head of state using her headless state for the public good.
Other famous ghosts who return to haunt…..? Comments….go!

Daily Ghost Post – O is for Old Green Eyes
Nate has always been a history buff. Throughout his childhood, he and his parents visited every Revolutionary War historic site in New York and Massachussetts. Even historic site markers were exciting day trip destinations for his family.
Whenever they went down south to visit relatives, they would rack up visits to Civil War sites. One autumn they walked Gettysburg and Nate stood behind every single cannon (it was a long walk). One spring break they went to Antietam, where Nate educated the park rangers about the battle.
The summer Nate turned 17, they went to Chickamauga, near Chatanooga, TN. It was late evening when they arrived, but Nate couldn't wait until morning. He had to get there. Quietly, he sat on a rock, gazing out at the field. As he reverently bowed his head, he remembered that the Battle at Chickamauga cost 35,000 casualties. Included in that huge number were 4,000 men who died in the very field where Nate sat.
When he looked up, he saw what he was hoping to see. Glowing, green lights were creeping across the field.
"Mom, Dad, didn't I tell you? There they are! Those are lantern lights of the women who helped at the battle," he told his parents.
But Nate was confused. He thought there would be more than two lights. When they went to the museum the next day, he found out why.
"Yep, some people say those lights are the women. But, if you saw only two lights…" and that's when the docent told Nate and his parents about the Chickamauga haunting.
The Civil War Battle of Chickamauga took place some time after Gettysburg. It was a massive, two staged battle. The Confederates won the first stage, and in the second stage victory went to the Union soldiers. But who really wins any battle when there are so many casualties on both sides?
The dead and wounded lay on the field for days after the battle. Women came to seek their loved ones in a human carpet of gore. Their lantern lights still linger as it is said that they are patiently hunting to this day.
But the docent told them that there are more ghosts who haunt the place. The ghost of a headless horseman roams the woods nearby. Another Confederate soldier is there too. His head was blown off in battle.
"Yep, that's Old Green Eyes," said the docent. "His head was the only part of him that they buried. It roams the land even now. It cannot rest until it finds the rest of its body."
His eyes are green, his beard hangs long. And there is nothing more to him than that. Old Green Eyes, a disembodied head, haunts the fields near the Chickamauga Creek, searching, searching.
"Yep," said the docent, "Old Green Eyes is around. People still see him. Sometimes he causes car accidents. Sounds like you saw him last night."
The docent never mentioned the beast however. Old Green Eyes may be a new name for an old ghostly beast that pre-dated the Civil War. The beast has glowing eyes and sports fangs. Perhaps it is the reason the Cherokee named the creek The Chickamauga, which means "River of Death."
Like other history buffs, Nate still scours the past for details about the battles. He knows weaponry and battle strategy. But at Chickamauga he learned something about human nature. You see, it is profoundly human for people to go in search of themselves. We do it in many ways – by getting education, practicing arts, or meditating, for example. We are happy and whole when we find ourselves. But Old Green Eyes is much more literal his search. And when he finally finds himself, the rest of himself, that is when he will finally be at rest.
Do you know of any war-time ghosts? As always, I love to hear from you and will write and visit back!

Ayurveda (the science of life) is one of the branches of vedas. It is regarded as upaveda of atharva-veda butit is a stream of the knowledge coming down from generation to generation since parallel to the vedic period , from the time period since the creator Brahma himself prior to the creation and Believed to have been passed on to humans from the Gods themselves. Ayurveda developed and evolved into what it is today from several ancient treatises, most notably Adharva Veda which dates back to five thousand years. It is called eternal because nobody knows when it was not there. All this shows its long tradition and deep attachment to the Indian culture.
Ayurveda 'the Science of Life' is a holistic system of medicine from India, which evolved from Brahma sages of Ancient India some 3000-5000 years ago.The principles of Ayurveda shows man as a complex whole, including our external and internal environments. The ancient Vedic literature by sages has clearly laid out instructions to maintain health as well as fighting illness through therapies, massages, herbal medicines, diet control and exercise.
Ayurveda says that "The journey of whole life is sacred".
Ayurveda is a healing science which comprises of two words Ayu + Veda. Ayu means life and Veda means knowledge or science. So the literal meaning of the word Ayurveda is the science of life. Ayurveda is a science dealing not only with treatment of some diseases but is a complete way of life.
Ayurveda defines life (Ayu) as the proper coordination of our four elements The soul (atma), The mind (mana), the senses (indriyas), and the body (shareera).
These elements are ether (space), air, fire, water and earth.
Just as in nature, we too have these five elements in us. When any of these elements are imbalanced in the environment , they will in turn have an influence on us. The foods we eat and the weather are just two examples of the influence of these elements .
The elements combine with Ether and Air in dominence to form what is known in Ayurveda as Vata Dosha. Vata governs the principle of movement and therefore can be seen as the force which directs nerve impulses, circulation, respiration and elemination etc.
Ayurveda provides knowledge of aetiology or cause, symptomatology and therapeutics or treatment, best way for both the healthy and the sick continuing since time immemorial and virtuous which was first known to Brahma the creator.
'Ayuh' means the conjunction of body, sense organs, mind and self and is known by the synonyms dhari, jivita, nityaga and anubandha.
Ayurveda describes three fundamental universal energies which regulate all natural processes on both the macrocosmic and microcosmic levels.That is, the same energies which produce effects in the various galaxies and star systems are operating at the level of the human physiology–in our own physiology. These three universal energies are known as the Tridosa.
To balance the elements and the doshas of the body and the senses, there are many treatments, therapies, and exercises available. To balance the elements of the mind, meditations, mantra, and exercises are often used. Massage and rasayana treatments, along with visualization, pranic breathing, and other practices,allow personal access to intuition, and the innate knowledge of the soul.
Ayurveda believes five basic elements Pancamahabhutas (space,air,fire,water and earth) manifest in the human body as three basic humours known as tridosas(Vata,Pitta and Kapha). These three govern creation,maintenance and destruction of bodily tissues as well as the assimilation and elimination.Each person is born with a unique combination of these dosas which decides their basic constitution called Prakruti.Understanding of each person's Prakruti for deciding their personal diet and exercise pattern, supplements and medicinal herbs,cleansing and rebuilding therapies that is right for them are among the chief methods, Ayurveda employs for the maintenance and restoration of health.
Health is not just a state of the body. We interact with the seasons, planetary changes of the earth, and moon, other planets, as well as orbiting relationships within our lives, our loved ones and friends, co-workers etc. We affect and are affected by every other animate and inanimate thing in existence. Bringing all of this into balance is the key to living healthy.
The science of Ayurveda has simplified the organizational layout of the human body into three basic components, Dosa(Body Humours), Dhatu (Tissue) and Mala (Impurities).
Body is originally composed of dosas, dhatus and malas and as such try to comprehend their characters being delivered hereafter.
Purusa is defined as combination of the five great elements and consciousness.
The Ayurvedic philosophy says that an individual is bundle of 'spirit',desirous of expressing itself,uses subjective consciousness or Satva to manifest sense organs and a mind. Spirit and mind then project themselves into a physical body,created from the five(Panca) great (maha) eternal elements (bhutas) together called thePancamahabhutas –which arise from Tamas.The entire science of Ayurveda is based on the "five great elements" (Pancamahabhuta) theory.The sense organs then using Rajas to project from the body into the external world to experience their objects. The body becoming the vehicle of mind, for gratification of senses.
The Bhutas combine into 'tridosas' or bioenergetic forces that govern and determine our health or physical condition. While the three gunas (Rajas; or activity, Tamas or inertia and Satva , which balances the first two) or psychic forces determine our mental and spiritual health.Ayurveda is thus a holistic system of health care that teaches us to balance these energies in order to achieve optimum health and wellbeing.
One whose Dosas, Agni and function of Dhatu and Malas are in the state of equilibrium and who has cheerful mind, intellect and sense organs is termed as "Svastha" (Healthy).

Q: Passing arguments to around_action raises: LocalJumpError no block given (yield) I want to wrap my action in this around_action:
around_action { do_stuff("foo") }

My around_action looks like this:
def do_stuff(arg)
  some_block do
    Rails.logger.error "arg: #{arg}"
    yield
  end
end

But this raises a LocalJumpError no block given (yield). What am I doing wrong?

A: I ended up solving it with:
around_action -> (controller, block) { do_stuff("foo", block) }

def do_stuff(arg, block)
  some_block do
    Rails.logger.error "arg: #{arg}"
    block.call
  end
end

A: I had the same issue but eventually found this to work:

Bastion Wiebego (również: Bastion Góra, niem. Bastion Wiebe, Bastion Berg) – element nowożytnych fortyfikacji Starego Przedmieścia w Gdańsku pod postacią bastionu. Jego budowa w XVII wieku to wczesny przykład wykorzystania kolei linowej. Do dzisiejszych czasów zachowały się relikty budowli.

Historia
Bastion Wiebego położony był w ciągu zachodnich wałów Starego Przedmieścia, pomiędzy Bastionem Kot (od północy), a Bastionem św. Gertrudy (od południa). Obecnie w jego miejscu znajduje się Wiadukt Biskupia Górka oraz parking przed pomorskim urzędem marszałkowskim i wojewódzkim.

Pod koniec XV wieku w tym miejscu wzniesiono uzbrojoną w działa Basztę Nową, która miała osłaniać Stare Przedmieście od południa. Był to w tamtym czasie newralgiczny, południowo-zachodni kraniec miejskich fortyfikacji, dlatego baszta została w latach 30. XVI wieku wzmocniona poprzez usypanie dookoła niej ziemnego Rondela Przedmiejskiego o kształcie ściętego stożka. Rondel był poprzedzony fosą w poziomie której istniała palisada chroniona przez dwa kojce. W przedpiersiu rondela znajdowały się otwory strzeleckie. Na przełomie XVI i XVII wieku modernizację fortyfikacji na tym odcinku prowadził niderlandzki architekt Antoni van Obberghen, który przekształcił Rondel Przedmiejski w bastion typu nowowłoskiego,  zwany wówczas Bastionem Góra (Berg), podobny do powstałego wcześniej Bastionu Karowego. Następnie wzniósł też sąsiadujące bastiony – św. Gertrudy i Bastion Kot.

Docelowy kształt bastion osiągnął w połowie lat 40. XVII wieku, kiedy został podwyższony. Pracami kierował inżynier niderlandzkiego pochodzenia Adam Wiebe, który do usypywania bastionu wykorzystał w 1644 roku innowacyjny wówczas mechanizm kolei linowej – ziemia czerpana była na przeciwległej względem bastionu Biskupiej Górce i dostarczana na szczyt bastionu w specjalnych koszach, transportowanych po linach umieszczonych na podporach, ponad przeszkodami w postaci Kanału Raduni i miejskiej fosy. Mechanizm ten był napędzany przez kierat z czterema końmi. Innowacyjność tego urządzenia została dostrzeżona w państwach zachodniej Europy.

Od 1645 roku do bastionu przylegała Mała Zbrojownia. Na skutek podwyższenia bastionu, pod ziemią znalazły się pozostałości Baszty Nowej, które służyły jako magazyn prochowy. Bastion posiadał dwukondygnacyjny nadszaniec oraz poterny i kazamaty, połączone mostem nad fosą i Kanałem Raduni z podziemnym wejściem do redity koszarowej na Biskupiej Górce. W drugiej połowie XIX wieku obiekt uległ przekształceniom w postaci budowy laboratorium amunicyjnego, usytuowanego przy wejściu do poterny.

Bastion został zniwelowany w latach 1895-1897. Pod ziemią pozostawiono krótki odcinek poterny oraz obiekty dobudowane w XIX wieku, a także fundamenty Baszty Nowej. Ulica powstała na jego miejscu (dzisiejsza ul. Okopowa) nosiła pierwotnie nazwę Wiebenwall (Wał Wiebego). W 2018 roku podczas budowy nowego Wiaduktu Biskupia Górka oraz parkingu piętrowego przed urzędem marszałkowskim i wojewódzkim odkryto zachowane w ziemi relikty Bastionu Wiebego oraz Baszty Nowej. Zostały one wyeksponowane na poziomie pod parkingiem.

Kate Tempest, Manchester, 2014
by Judy Gordon
Thursday 4th June 2020 8:59 am (first posted 19th October 2014)
I'll be honest, dear readers, I expected to hate this performance at Manchester's Contact theatre as part of the literature festival. There is so much hype and bluster around Tempest, what with a Mercury nomination as well as poetry awards and garlands. Is she a poet, or a rapper, or a "performer" - whatever that is. Is she the greatest thing since the last big thing, or just an overrated south London oik with attitude? Harsh words - and when the show opened 20 minutes late I was toying with a "rock star poet turns diva" intro to my piece.
But let me tell you, if you don't already know - Tempest is simply magnificent. She had me from the moment she walked onstage to rapturous applause (she already has a reputation at Contact, having stormed it earlier this year with Brand New Ancients while Prince played around the corner). She has a lovely, open face with a halo of golden hair, and a smile to melt the hardest critic's heart.
She said she was thrilled to be back in Manchester, and I believed her. She talked to the audience as though we were mates – and I still believed her. She admitted she had planned to simply read from her latest collection, Hold Your Own, but got so carried away chatting to us that she walked off and made a second entrance before getting down to business.
Hold Your Own is her modern version of the ancient story of man/woman/child/blind seer Tiresias, followed by a sequence of poems that feed off its inspiration. Tempest delivered the first lengthy, mighty piece enthrallingly, a real teller of stories, barely an intake of breath, stalking the stage, face glistening with sweat, mic in hand, no reference to the book (she barely looked at the book all night).
There is a shopping trolley
There are some keys
There is a hawthorn
There is a horse chestnut
There's a used condom
There's an old desk lamp
There's a nice conker …
Is that blood or ketchup?
Bird in the branches
Like sand in the toes of the bushes.
Tiresias is called on to settle a row about love and sex between Zeus and Hera:
Finally, when neither has
The strength to raise the anchor
And the ship of their relations
Is broken-keeled and sinking,
And they're fighting over what the other
Might have just been thinking …
When Hera doesn't like what Tiresias says, she strikes out and blinds him: "Zeus is shocked, appalled, impressed. / Mate he says Ah mate."
Tempest's delivery is a tour de force and every word is thrown down like a stone to create a glorious, rocky picture. Her diction - sorry, one of my obsessions - is faultless, her rhythm spot on, and her sheer excitement infectious.
She said almost apologetically: "There's a lot in this, it's a lot to take in", before reading some of the later poems in the sequence. In between she talked about her attempts to understand the world we live in - the word "dread" comes up a lot, and she says the only real weapon we have is "empathy". A world with more understanding, more kindness, more caring, more sharing, might just hold the awfulness at bay. Amen to that.
Tempest can write very tenderly, as in 'For my niece'.
No flower bends its head to offer
teaching to a seed.
The seed will grow and blossom
Once the flower's ground to dust.
But even so, if nothing else,
One thing I'll entrust:
Doing what you please
Is not the same
as doing what you must.
She is funny as with 'Snakes in the grass', which is too long to quote here but hilarious. Or the bitter truth of 'Some couple', about the irritation of seeing loved-up people in the street when you have just had a row with your partner. She urges teachers to be the inspiration for the next generation instead of the dead hand of conformity and dullness, before reading 'School':
We wander into school, happy children:
kind and bright and interested in things.
We don't know yet the horrors of the building,
The hatred it will teach. The boredom it will bring.
She has good advice for women – don't read women's magazines, they screw you up. A lot of her most wry lines are delivered with a knowing look at the audience. And Tempest knows full well that the bluster around her can be a pain: "All this hype and nonsense will go away soon", she tell us with a smile.
I can only urge you to get the books, read the words, listen to the CD and kill to get a ticket to see Kate Tempest perform. And as for all those awards she is up for – GO GIRL.

There's also this big feature on Kate Tempest in the Guardian a couple of days ago http://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/oct/23/kate-tempest-we-live-in-crazy-times-you-cant-tell-a-story-without-it-feeling-political

A less than complimentary assessment of Kate Tempest's book of poetry in today's Sunday Times Culture Section.
Final paragraph curiously makes a comparison with Pam Ayres?
Tue 21st Oct 2014 10:28
I've been pushing round my own thoughts since Saturday night wondering what the appropriate criteria are for appraising this performance which was part of the Manchester Literature Festival.
Good value for a tenner. KT is an accomplished and experienced performer and gave value for money. The standing applause from the mainly white, middle aged and probably middle class audience might presage things to come.
The last time I saw her was with her band at the Tudor House in Wigan maybe four years ago. I'd seen her before at Festivals. She was the real deal, giving 120%.( To be fair the whole band was very good). I thought no-one can keep that up, shades of Janis Joplin.This departure makes sense. Good luck to her.
Judy is right, her clarity is penetrating, but it does expose some of the rapper's need for using two words where one might do. Her short poems did her justice. Clear, simple, universal
stirring emotion in me and a large audience, who obviously had writerly sympathies (not too sure if that's grammatical)and know what it is to seek or find solace in the works of others. She pays her dues.
Had she not been so good I might have cringed at the naivety and didacticism of some of the numbers and her asides to the audience. The world is shit. No the world is awesome. Some people are shit. Most of us are, at some point or another. We are animals not gods.
So KT, you know what is happening to you. It is what most young spoken word performers dream of. You've made it. Well done. You deserve it. But as they say you should be careful what you wish for, it might come true. And please, please , please never turn up on Buzzcocks or any other of those cheesy panel games for wannabees and has beens.

It's very easy to get into binary conversations.
One of which is that to like Kate Tempest is to like performance poetry and to dislike her is to dislike performance poetry.
The second statement is of course a false dichotomy.
I like both page and performance.
On the subject of Kate Tempest I do not see her as a poet. I just don't think she sounds poetic in performance and that is confirmed for me in the read. The words feel very ordinary. As far from the perfect words in the perfect order as I could imagine.
But who cares? I mean ultimately...each to their own. We all have our own favourites and that is how it should be. We are free to like and dislike whatever we like - no scared cows.
I hold Andrew Motion, Paul Farley and Simon Armitage in high regard. I hold local performance poets in high regard...some people will dislike these poets, again that's not only right, it is probably how it should be.
The more variety and options we have the better. Also to be fair to Kate Tempest - anything that puts poetry on the map is, arguably only a good thing. The day there is no publicity, let alone hype, that is the day all poets should mourn.
Note: I think Kate Tempest is decent when it comes to a UK variant of Def Jam poetry and a decent musician. Clearly a very good performer. Definitions...I would hazard a guess that our definition of what a poet is or isn't in such cases would revolve around whether you/we class def Jam poetry as being poetry. I think some of it is interesting and enjoyable even. But I don't see it as poetry.
Have a look and see for yourself...

Having read both the article and the comments and knowing absolutely nothing about the young lady in question, I thought I'd take a look at her website for a broader view of her work.
Now I am no fan of performance poetry and even less a fan of rapping.
However, one thing is for certain, she is a born performer and uses words well albeit to my poor old ears, sometimes unintelligibly.
Having sampled all of the video clips available I am left with the overall viewpoint that I consider her to be more of a musician than a poet.
I don't know whether she has some quieter, more reflective (dare I say it) more grown up stuff (why should she, she only looks young anyway) to listen to, but I would like the chance.
In summary, a very clever, hard-working young woman.
And Philip, I don't think luck has anything to do with it.
These days, to get it you have to earn it! (National Lottery excluded).

This piece is wholly appropriate to what Write Out Loud is about: helping narrow the gap between the oft-divided worlds of 'page poetry', on the one hand, and the grassroots open-mic/performance versions on t'other. Or of the perceptions of such a divide.
That's the whole point of Judy's comments: is she a poet, or a rapper, or a "performer". Kate Tempest can do, does, and has done them all; she is part of - I would argue - a new poetry that speaks to and from the people, bearing in mind the late Adrian Mitchell's comment about most people ignoring most poetry because most poetry ignores most people.
Thank you Judy. Excellent, and very much appreciated.
Thanks for checking out Kate Tempest for us, Judy. Like many others, I've wanted to know more about her for some time. Good to hear that she has a refreshing attitude to all the hype surrounding her, even though it sounds as if most of it is justified! However, as a fellow journalist,I am scandalised at your suggestion that reviewers ever mull over a possible intro before they have actually seen the performance!

Day Trip To France
18:06 1961 Clacton-on-Sea, Essex
A tongue-in-cheek exploration of travelling to the continent from Britain.
News; Television; Travel / Travelogue
John McGregor questions whether it's worth all the hassle going to the seaside for August Bank Holiday, and explores the new opportunity of travelling from Clacton to Calais with or without your passport, on boat or by plane. John McGregor asks Mr Holden about the logistics or travelling without passports, the costs and ease of transporting cars to either Calais, Ostend or Rotterdam. On arrival in Calais, McGregor explores the town and its market. Fresh vegetables, meat and fish are in bountiful supply. The port bustles with cargo and passengers alike, all looking for either French bargains to be bought, or English favourites to consume like a cup of tea, beer or chicken.
The Deputy Mayor of Calais hopes that more British will come to Calais, and for longer periods of time. With John McGregor, they discuss Britain's entry into the European Common Market and the proposed tunnel between Britain and France. McGregor explores the effect day-trippers have on Calais' s economy, and chats with British tourists about their day abroad.

Q: MySQL PHP - Search to see if column contains one of a list of variables Okay, so this is a little hard to explain but I have something like this:
$yourScripts = 777,1337, -- My variable

$yourData = mysqli_query($db,"SELECT * FROM scriptlog WHERE FIND_IN_SET('$yourScripts', scriptid)") -- My query

My scriptlog table looks like this:
scriptid | other stuff
-----------------------
1337     | xxxxxxx
456      | xxxxxxx
777      | xxxxxxx

How can I get my query to return the rows that have the correct scriptid? Currently it returns nothing.
I have also tried this but it also returns nothing:
$yourData = mysqli_query($db,"SELECT * FROM scriptlog WHERE scriptid LIKE '%{$yourScripts}%'")

A: The comma-separated string is the second argument to FIND_IN_SET, not the first, so it should be:
$yourData = mysqli_query($db,"SELECT * FROM scriptlog WHERE FIND_IN_SET(scriptid, '$yourScripts')");

You could also use IN() which is better because it can use the index.
$yourData = mysqli_query($db,"SELECT * FROM scriptlog WHERE scriptid IN ($yourScripts)");

If $yourScripts is coming from the user, make sure you sanitize it first before substituting into the SQL -- it should only be integers.


Some small businesses still use the oldest form of commerce, bartering or the exchanges of goods and services. The IRS wants all taxpayers of small business, or any business for that matter, to make sure they know that "the fair market value of property or services received through bartering is taxable income". According to Income Tax Law, bartering is taxable income and the classification of bartering for those not sure, is the trade of goods and services for another.
If a barter was made, regardless if it was made from something physical like a building or intangible like services through the internet, it is considered a barter. A taxpayer must report all bartering that has occurred. In order to do so, there is the 1099-B Form- Proceeds from Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions. This filing is to be done yearly by the clients or members that partook in the bartering, reported to the IRS.
Bartering income is the value estimated in dollars on the goods or services received or bought. It is the same as using money to receive or "sell" the goods or services. Because it is considered identical to real dollars, the barter amounts are to be reported on the 1099-B Form. There are a lot of people who are unaware that the IRS wants their share in any bartering because it is still a form of "cash" and all cash is taxable. For an example if a person trades a car for a camper, it is considered a barter so the IRS wants to know the value of both the car and camper so as to figure out the amount of taxes owed.
The rules for reporting bartering may vary depending on which form of bartering took place. Most bartering is reported on the 1040 Form Schedule C- Profit or Loss from Business with the 1099-B Form. There are other forms that are also used to file bartering: there are the forms 1065 for Partnerships, Form 1120 for Corporations, or 1120-S for Small Business Corporations. Check with the IRS website under Business for more information regarding filing for bartering or if you have any questions that need to be answered. Filing a return that involves bartering could be a tricky part of filing taxes, but it is to be done correctly so make sure to do your research thoroughly. Many taxpayers are unaware that bartering is the same as "cash" and can get penalized for not filing it correctly to the IRS, so make sure to keep all the proof that is needed to verify barter exchanges.

The African Assembly on Linguistic Anthropology 2022, The (SCOPUS / ISI) GLOCAL AFALA, at the University of Nairobi, Kenya, symbolizes a significant leap forward for Linguistic Anthropology, from the previous highly successfully attended GLOCAL AFALA conferences, to further problematize current perspectives and praxis in the fields of African Linguistic Anthropology, African Linguistics, and African Society.
Conceptualized in 1998, the GLOCAL AFALA 2022 responds to concerns by those within Linguistics, Anthropology, Sociolinguistics, Sociology, Cultural studies, and centrally Linguistic Anthropology, pertinent to Africa, to significantly reduce the gap between focus on African regions and work by African scholars, a gap largely emanating from issues of funding and expertise. The GLOCAL AFALA 2022 will build on these efforts, and the global networks of African Linguistic Anthropology, to connect African with global Universities and their academics. Here, The (SCOPUS / ISI) GLOCAL AFALA 2022 will increasingly opportune academics to exchange knowledge, expertise, and valuable Linguistic and Anthropological data, through the interpersonal and inter-institutional networks that the GLOCAL AFALA conferences build. To ground these efforts, the Conference, with the University of Nairobi at the centre, and with major University Partner and co host SOAS, The School of Oriental and African Studies, at The University of London, will network a growing number of institutions globally, to support this much needed African yet fully global project.
With all stringently reviewed papers SCOPUS / ISI indexed, and published in Top Tier Journal Publications, the theme for the GLOCAL AFALA 2022 is Linguistic Landscapes, Cultural Climates, a theme pertinent to the current state of many African regions and countries vis-a-vis their global analogues.
The University of Nairobi, hosting the GLOCAL AFALA in 2022 in Nairobi, Kenya, constitutes one of an interchanging series of annual hosts, and in this way, the GLOCAL global network expands to involve institutions worldwide.
We thus welcome you to the AFALA 2022, the Inaugural Annual African Assembly on Linguistic Anthropology, and to the AFALA in general.
Professor W. Onyango-Ouma
African Assembly on Linguistic Anthropology, The GLOCAL AFALA 2022

For over 16 months the anarchists and others from so called Czech Republic have been facing the biggest police crackdown in recent years. The operation Fenix isn't only the wave of repression. For the first time we are facing police entrapment, provocation, fabricated plots, and historically first "serious" accusation of terrorism. Why is all of that happening right now? Is the repression really the responsibility of the most militant part of the movement and does it help if we step back, or is there any other lance and way to deal with the authoritarian power of the state?
Come and join an ⒶBC reflection of one and a half year of accelerating repression and our reaction. Let's talk about our protection and share some experiences of how to prevent falling into the trap. Now when the first court hearings are happening is especially important to see what kinds of solidarity actions we can provide to empower ourselves and keep our community strong instead of getting paranoid and paralysed.
The Talk will be mainly in English with a whisper translation into German.
In nice autumn weather, more than 1000 people (according to police) participated on Sunday, October 23, 2016 in the Action Red Line A4.
Part 1. Support for a tree occupation. But how?
Hambach Forest, tree occupation Oaktown & Gallien (Gaul).
Support for a tree occupation. But how?
You want to support the tree occupation Oaktown, Gallien or another but do not know how? No problem. We (supporters and tree-occupants) have put together a few questions which are always asked and we answered them. This is shown how you can bring in very different ways. We also show how you can contribute in very different ways.
In the coming days will be published: "Part 2. Grubbing, what's that?".
"The Hambach forest – or what is left of it and perhaps can be saved?
The 31st monthly guided tour in the Hambach Forest, during the current grubbing season, surely will be the largest one ever in this forest: 3842 large and small people have been there, today many, many will come.
03:20 All activists are free. They partly report massive abuse, including food deprivation, the threat of breaking their fingers, and violent pulling of earrings. Some injuries are visible. In addition, sexually explicit language was used against feminine read activists. Shoes and clothing were partly destroyed.
All have come out without giving their personal details. The ticker is now closed.
02:00 The last two activists have arrived at the cops' station. Unlike the previous transports, police do not want to be seen how these people are brought from the van into the police station. It is therefore to be assumed that massive violence is applied.
00:50 Three activists are in the cops' station, two still in the fire station.
22:30 All activists are detached from the rails, but partly still chained together. They are first taken to the fire station Aachen Nord, afterwards probably to the main police department.
21:20 Short call by the detached person, all activists are fine so far.
20:45 One person was detached, 4 are still blocking.
17:10 No more contact to the blocking people, presumably their phones were taken away.
16:30 The Hambach train is standing still, both in front and behind it activists block the rails.
The Skill Sharing Camp in the occupations of the Hambach Forest is going on. This camp is the beginning of the campaign against the deforestation 2016/ 2017 which is starting in the days to come.

Vernierové z Rougemontu (Vernier de Rougemont et d'Orchamp) byl český šlechtický rod původem z Francie. Historie rodu v Burgundsku sahá do 14. století, Matouš Vernier se za třicetileté války vyznamenal jako důstojník ve službách Habsburků, v roce 1636 byl povýšen do stavu svobodných pánů a získal statky v Čechách (Lipnice nad Sázavou). Jeho potomci vlastnili také další statky a na několika panstvích byli aktivní ve výstavbě barokních zámků, jejich zásluhou vznikl také Vernierovský palác v Praze (dnešní Slovanský dům). Kvůli vysokému zadlužení během 18. století museli většinu majetku prodat, do konce 19. století se ale uplatňovali ve státních úřadech a armádě. Rod vymřel v roce 1914.

Dějiny rodu

Rod Vernierů pocházel z Burgundska, kde se nacházely jeho původní statky Rougemont (dnes Rougemont-le-Château) a Ortchamp (respektive Orchamps). Předkové rodu se připomínají poprvé v roce 1330 (Petrinius Vernier) a na zmíněných statcích ve Franche-Comté hospodařili několik století. V 17. století z rodu vynikl Matouš (případně Matthias nebo Mathieu) (1600–1658), který na počátku třicetileté války vstoupil do císařské armády a vyznamenal se na evropských bojištích. Jako plukovník se podílel na likvidaci Valdštejnova spiknutí a za odměnu získal konfiskované panství Lipnice nad Sázavou. V roce 1636 byl povýšen do stavu svobodných pánů a obdržel český inkolát, titul svobodného pána byl udělen zároveň jeho bratrovi (nebo bratranci) Pierru Vernierovi, který taktéž sloužil v císařské armádě. Matouš Vernier v armádě nakonec dosáhl hodnosti polního podmaršála a zemřel v Lipnici nad Sázavou.

Matouš Vernier měl tři syny, kteří rozšiřovali své statky v Čechách. Prostřední syn Ferdinand Šebestián vlastnil jen malý statek Rácov na Jihlavsku a v letech 1668–1673 mu patřil statek Čestín. Nejstarší František Leopold (1630–1688) vykoupil podíly svých bratrů a stal se jediným majitelem Lipnice nad Sázavou, kde přistoupil k dílčím stavebním úpravám hradu. Měl tři syny, kteří sloužili v armádě a Lipnici krátce po otcově smrti prodali strýci Janu Bartolomějovi. Jan Bartoloměj Vernier (1644–1711) nechal na svých panstvích postavit několik zámků (Světlá nad Sázavou, Věž)a také Vernierovský palác v Praze. Tím se ale velmi zadlužil a o značnou část majetku přišel ještě během svého života. Jeho synové František Bernard (1687–1740) a Václav Ignác (1692–1742) založili dvě rodové linie, označované jako starší a mladší. Zakladatel starší linie František Bernard byl hejtmanem čáslavského kraje, finanční krize vyvrcholila po jeho smrti prodejem Lipnice nad Sázavou (1741). Jeho potomci již nevlastnili žádné statky, sloužili v armádě nebo u státních úřadů. Posledním potomkem starší linie byl Vilém František Vernier (1796–1884), který vlastnil malý statek Svrabov v jižních Čechách.

Zakladatelem mladší linie byl Václav Ignác Vernier (1692–1742), který působil ve státní správě a nakonec byl hejtmanem chrudimského kraje. S Marií Terezií Strakovou vyženil panství Medlešice a zdejší zámek byl pak sídlem jeho potomků ve dvou generacích (panství bylo prodáno v roce 1802). Následující generace užívaly výnos z caretto-millesimovského peněžního fideikomisu založeného v roce 1755. Z této linie později vynikli v armádě bratři František de Paula a Jan Nepomuk. František de Paula (1804–1871) byl podplukovníkem a ředitelem polních nemocnic v Srbsku, Jan Nepomuk (1810–1875) dosáhl hodnosti polního podmaršála a zastával funkci generálního inspektora dělostřelectva. Františkův syn Jan Nepomuk (1837–1914) působil ve státních službách, byl radou štýrského místodržitelství a okresním hejtmanem v Brucku (1883–1894). Zároveň byl rytířem Maltézského řádu, komturem komendy v Mailbergu a od roku 1899 také uživatelem řádového velkostatku Dožice na Plzeňsku. Zemřel bez potomstva a jím rod Vernierů vymřel.

Thank you so much for coming to us in looking for "The Affluence Network International TV Commercial" online.
Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in a similar way, but in addition they be a part of more elaborate smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a trade to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of people agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This permits advanced dispute arbitration services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment methods, the blockchain consistently leaves public proof that a transaction occurred. This can be possibly used in a appeal against companies with deceptive practices.
Since one of the earliest forms of earning money is in cash lending, it is a fact that you could do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving websites currently focus on Bitcoin, many of these websites you might be required fill in a captcha after a particular time period and are rewarded with a bit of coins for seeing them. You are able to see the www.cryptofunds.co site to find some lists of of these websites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have very different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they do not have lots of market data and historical outlook for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have somewhat poor liquidity as well and it is hard to develop an acceptable investment strategy.
Only a fraction of bitcoins issued so far can be found on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which means the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Many people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the amount of bitcoins that are actually circulating in the exchanges. Moreover, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Hence, even the most diligent buyer couldn't buy all present bitcoins. This scenario is just not to imply that markets aren't vulnerable to price exploitation, yet there is certainly no need for substantial amounts of cash to transfer market prices up or down. The slightest occasions on earth economy can change the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive.
This mining task validates and records the trades across the entire network. So if you're attempting to do something prohibited, it is not wise because everything is recorded in the public register for the remainder of the world to see eternally.
Bitcoin is the main cryptocurrency of the internet: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, global, and decentralized. Unlike conventional fiat currencies, there's no authorities, banks, or any regulatory agencies. As such, it really is more immune to crazy inflation and corrupt banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the security and privacy hazards. Security and privacy can readily be realized by just being smart, and following some basic guidelines. You'dn't set your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fixed by removing any identity of ownership in the wallets and thus keeping you anonymous.
The beauty of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that fraud was proved an impossibility: as a result of nature of the method by which it's transacted. All transactions on the crypto currency blockchain are permanent. As soon as you're paid, you get paid. This is not something shortterm wherever your visitors may dispute or desire a discounts, or use dishonest sleight of palm. Used, many professionals will be a good idea to use a transaction processor, because of the permanent nature of crypto currency dealings, you need to make certain that safety is tough. With any form of crypto currency whether a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or the numerous additional altcoins, thieves and hackers could potentially access your private keys and so grab your cash. However, you most likely will never get it back. It is quite crucial for you yourself to embrace some very good safe and secure routines when working with any cryptocurrency. This may guard you from many of these negative activities.
Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others have already been designed as a non-fiat currency. Quite simply, its backers contend that there's real worth, even through there is no physical representation of that worth. The worth rises due to computing power, that's, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time period which is worth an ever diminishing amount of money or some type of benefit in order to ensure the shortage. Each coin includes many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are exactly to authenticate other trades, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant alternative, which will be one of the appealing aspects of the coin. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, that is part of the block that gave rise to it. The individual who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it to a value is provided by another address, which is a wallet file stored on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of all trades dwells.
The fact that there's little evidence of any increase in using virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal attempts to control it. The reason behind this could be simply that the marketplace is too small for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory attempt. Additionally it is possible the regulators just don't understand the technology and its consequences, anticipating any developments to act.
Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they do not physically exist anywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you look at a unique address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there is no digital information held in it, like in exactly the same manner that a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It truly is nothing more than a representation of value, but there is no real tangible form of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They do not have spending limits and withdrawal restrictions enforced on them. No one but the owner of the crypto wallet can determine how their wealth will be managed.
Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put into circulation. Because there's no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to make more. The mining process is what makes more of the coin. It may be useful to think of the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are exactly the same. Mining crypto coins means you'll get to keep the full rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your chances of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have higher potential for solving a block, but the reward will be split between all members of the pool, according to the number of shares won.
If you are considering going it alone, it really is worth noting the software configuration for solo mining can be more complex than with a pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter course. This alternative also creates a secure stream of revenue, even if each payment is small compared to fully block the wages.
You've probably seen this often where you generally spread the great word about crypto. It is not volatile? What goes on when the price failures? sofar, many POS devices provides free conversion of fiat, alleviating some worry, but until the volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, a lot of people will undoubtedly be unwilling to put up any. We have to find a method to struggle the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies.
The physical Internet backbone that carries information between the various nodes of the network is currently the work of several companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes companies that offer long-distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local pipe, which ultimately joins in households and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through any of these ISPs, players like level 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP runs its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private firms, and sometimes by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for last mile-consumers and companies who want to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the info to flow without interruption, in the right location at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations owns the Internet together these firms determine how it works, and established rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's occurring to determine how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for example, one needs permission from a Registrar, which has a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to attach to and with her. Concern over security problems? A working group is formed to work with the issue and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you might have someone to phone to get it fixed. If the difficulty is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts set up and service level agreements, which regulate the manner in which these problems are solved.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not regulated by any focused firm. No one can tell the miners to update, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a committed advocate badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet works. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that regulate how it works current inherent problems to the user. Blockchain technology has none of that.
Many people prefer to use a money deflation, especially those who need to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Fiscal seclusion, for instance, is great for political activists, but more debatable when it comes to political campaign financing. We need a steady cryptocurrency for use in trade; should you be living pay check to pay check, it would happen included in your riches, with the rest allowed for other currencies.

It should be challenging to get more modest gains (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the way to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be true: having small gains is more rewarding than attempting to fight up to the pinnacle. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it is better to look at novels than wait for order confirmation when you believe the price is going down. Second, there is more volatility and compensation in monies that have not made it to the profitableness of websites like Coinwarz.
It is certainly possible, but it must have the ability to understand opportunities regardless of marketplace behaviour. The market moves in relation to cost BTC … So even supposing it's in a BTC trend down can make money by purchasing the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you will be acceptable.
technology due to the many benefits associated with that. This is the reason the new technology is about to shift the world from the way we view it today. Bitcoins opened the door through use of Blockchains as the first cryptocurency. Ethereum is broadening the horizon in the field of smart contracts.
Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which suggests the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. A lot of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the number of bitcoins that are actually circulating in the exchanges.

This situation is not to imply that markets are not vulnerable to price exploitation, yet there is no requirement for substantial sums of cash to move market prices up or down. The merest occasions on the planet economy can affect the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency volatile.

Goober Line Painter
Published: Feb 06,2006
A goober who had been unemployed for several months got a job with Public Works. She was to paint lines down the center of a rural road. The supervisor told her that she was on probation and that she must stay at or above the set average of 2 miles per day to remain employed.
The goober agreed to the conditions and starts right away. The supervisor checking up at the end of the day, found that the goober had completed 4 miles on her first day, double the average! "Great," he told her, "I think you're really going to work out."
The next day, however, he was disappointed to find that the goober only accomplished 2 miles. The supervisor thought, "Well she's still at the average and I don't want to discourage her, so I'll just keep quiet."
On the third day, the goober only did one mile and the boss thought, "I need to talk to her before this gets any worse." The boss pulled the new employee in and says, "You were doing so great. The first day you did 4 miles, the second day 2 miles, but yesterday you only did one mile. Why? Is there a problem? An injury, equipment failure? What's keeping you from meeting the 2 mile minimum?"
The goober replied, "Well, each day I keep getting farther and farther away from the bucket."

Just as fans were wondering about the abrupt end to f(x)'s promotions for "Red Light," SM dropped another bomb, declaring that Sulli will be taking an indefinite hiatus from the entertainment industry. Reactions from fans have ranged from supportive, to disappointed, to angry. Those who have waited for f(x)'s comeback are especially outraged that Sulli's issues have implicated all of f(x), causing their latest promotions to be prematurely cut short.
Based on SM's statement, it seems that the scandal between Choiza and Sulli has taken a toll on her mental and physical health, painting a different story from some 'illness' that allowed her to take a week off promotions. The situation seems to have escalated to something pretty serious, especially if to the extent that Sulli is taking time off from her entire schedule, and f(x) is halting promotions.
f(x) member Sulli became mentally and physically exhausted from the continuous, malicious comments and false rumors, and has expressed her wish to take a break from her celebrity activities for the time being. After careful deliberation and taking her wish into consideration, we will reduce her activities and let her take a break for the time being. Also, f(x)'s promotions for their 3rd full-length album 'Red Light' ended with their stage on SBS' 'Inkigayo' last week. f(x) will continue on activities with the SMTOWN Seoul concert on August 15 and overseas promotions, as well as individual schedules for the remaining four members Victoria, Amber, Luna, and Krystal.
It seems like SM just can't catch a break this year, what with relationships being revealed one after another, a lawsuit against them, and now, a temporary f(4). What is your reaction to this development?

What has Maggie Grace been doing since "Lost"?
—Benjamin Kroll, Daly City, Calif.
Grace, 29, is back on TV in a big way in 2013. She'll appear in nine out of 11 episodes on the sixth season of Showtime's "Californication" as Faith, a woman who has been the muse to several rock stars, and who forms a friendship that becomes a deeper relationship with the character of series star David Duchovny. Rumor has it that there is a possibility that her character could be spun off into her own series.
Also on "Californication," the Columbus, Ohio-born actress reunites with her former "Lost" co-star Jorge Garcia, who plays a drug dealer in a couple of episodes—and someone it turns out that Faith knows from her time with the rock 'n' roll bands.
Grace also appeared in the new Fox series, "The Following" as Sarah Fuller, the only woman who survived the killing spree of serial killer Joe Carroll (James Purefoy).
In addition, Grace has had quite the film career in the past few years playing Liam Neeson's daughter in "Taken" and "Taken 2," joining the cast of "The Twilight Saga" for "Breaking Dawn" Parts 1 and 2, and starring as the daughter of the president of the United States in "Lockout."
Coming up, she has roles in the TV movie "When Calls the Heart" and the big-screen feature "Decoding Annie Parker."
When not acting, Grace spends time working on behalf of Global Green USA.

Journalism students win awards at national competition
Jack Butchart, reporter|April 21, 2021
tiger paw
Seven journalism students earn national recognition from the JEA competition. Front row: Avery Neal (12), Layla Halilbasic (10), Eva Bidle (11), and Lejla Pozegic (10). Back row: Cassandra Ludwig (12), Meg Heveroh (12), and Jojo LaBrier (12)
Five journalism students spread across yearbook, broadcast, and newspaper were recognized for their hard work in the National Student Media Contest sponsored by the Journalism Education Association. The results were released April 10-11 on the JEA website.
In the broadcast section of the competition, Meg Heveroh (12) received an excellent rating in Videography and Eva Beidle (11) earned an honorable mention in Broadcast News Writing.
In the Online News Package category, Cassandra Ludwig (12), JoJo Labrier (12), and Avery Neal (12) had to create an online newspaper article and a broadcast story based on the same prompt. This news package had earned these three students an honorable mention in their category.
"The prompt of our stories was 'Fight Against Discrimination in your Communities'," said Ludwig. "It could be any form of discrimination and we decided on the Gay-Straight Alliance, because when the organization was created, they faced a lot of discrimination from teachers and staff. They really had to fight to get their start."
With a short deadline of two weeks and a lot of work, the students had to spend a lot of time inside and outside of school working on it.
"We put a lot of effort into it," said Neal. "We found out about two weeks before the deadline about what it was and how to do it, so we spent two weeks grinding it out and basically every day in our free time working on it and creating a masterpiece."
"There didn't seem to be a minute of downtime," said Labrier. "We used time from other classes to spend with our journalism teacher, [Mr. Jeff Kuchno], to get this done. There were even some nights where we would stay after school into the evening working on it. But when they announced that we had gotten the award it was pretty cool because you don't realize how many people are involved until you win."
In the Yearbook contests, Layla Halilbasic (10) received an honorable mention in Yearbook Copy and Captions for Academics. Lejla Pozegic (10) was awarded an honorable mention in Yearbook Copy and Captions for Clubs. In both of these competitions the students were tasked with writing a story and captioning photos based on their category.
"We were given information about an event at a school as well as photos they took from the event. I was in the school life category," said Layla Halilbasic (10). "I had to write a story and captions about a new school policy. I was honestly surprised when I heard I won honorable mention, I made my entry about an hour before it was due. But I am still so proud of myself just for being recognized."
The OHS broadcast staff's broadcast that was posted on March 19 earned Best of Show recognition at a national level through the National Scholastic Press Association. Channel 97 news placed sixth in the Broadcast News Program category. In its 11 years of existence, this is the fifth time that Channel 97 news has been awarded the Best of Show honor. This is also the first Best of Show recognition since the 2016-2017 school year.

All Press Releases for September 23, 2019
With It's New Single "Fading Slowly" Toronto's LACKLUSTRE Digs Up Rocks Roots
The band combined the new track with a gritty self-produced music video.
With their latest single "Fading Slowly" LACKLUSTRE has captured the tonal quality of some of Rock's most legendary acts, while focusing their song and lyric writing on memorable hooks and melodies.
TORONTO, ON, September 23, 2019 /24-7PressRelease/ -- There are lots of great new pop songs on the radio. There are lots of gritty classic rock songs on the radio. LACKLUSTRE, a 4-piece rock act from Toronto set their aim at a spot on the radio dial that lands them somewhere right between the eyes of the two.
With their latest single "Fading Slowly" LACKLUSTRE has captured the tonal quality of some of Rock's most legendary acts, while focusing their song and lyric writing on memorable hooks and melodies that today's TOP 40-trained ears will find it difficult to shun as simple "classic rock". The fact is, the song is good and it has set the band on a yet uncharted path.
"Our focus has never been on following all of the traditional steps to "make it" as a band. What we're trying to do here is record a song or two that go down in the history of Canadian music as great songs. In 2019 there are so many ways for new music to be discovered, with the right song in your arsenal we believe we can get where we're going on song-power alone."—Kyle Hosick, Guitarist.
The new single was recorded at Oakville, Ontario's River16 Recording Studios and was engineered by Steve Kirstein. With the help of legendary producer and mixer Ron Nevison (who's mixing credits include Led Zeppelin, Heart, The Who and Bad Company) the band has taken their sound to a new level. Put it this way—if the artist/sponsorship folks at Gibson and Marshall don't wind up calling this band something is wrong in the universe.
The band combined the new track with a gritty self-produced music video that has just gone live this week and does the huge wall-of-sound heard within the track justice as visual accompaniment.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAsNOizXHTs
LackLustre may seem like an odd name for a band. One that specifically calls you out as being average or middle of the road? "Because we don't care about the formula most bands follow we really didn't care what our name was. Our sound is not polished and our image was not carefully crafted. So basically we are LackLustre." Hosick added.
The band's focus has been on capturing the rock essence of their songs by looking to their musical roots–rock acts of the 70s and 80s.
The musicians that make up the band have been around the block. In their early 40s, LACKLUSTRE is not looking to make a name for themselves based on looks alone. This is about the sound and the songs.
Not only does the band look to the pioneers of rock for inspiration, but they've also adapted playing techniques and individual sounds that will take listeners right back to that era of music. It's the era of music the band loves most.
The band's first release, the self-titled EP "LackLustre" was recorded in May 2019 at Lincoln County Social Club in Toronto, Ontario. The recording was engineered by John Dinsmore (Strumbellas, Kathleen Edwards), Mixed by legendary Rock producer Ron Nevison (Led Zeppelin, Heart) and Mastered by Joao Carvalho (Rush, Smashing Pumpkins).
The band will be performing at Today/Tonight Bar in Toronto on Oct 5th, 2019.
LACKLUSTRE is a Toronto-based 4-piece rock band with a sound that dig up rocks roots and buries the notion that true rock 'n roll is dead.
