Television Series of the 1980s
by Vincent Terrace (Author)
Nonfiction Arts Mass media Television History & criticism Reference
Television screens in the 1980s reflected some of the most memorable programs of all time. In that decade, such critically acclaimed shows as Cheers, The Golden Girls, Hill Street Blues, Newhart, and St. Elsewhere debuted. In that same decade, iconic shows like The A-Team, Baywatch, Cagney & Lacey, Knight Rider, MacGyver,Miami Vice, and Roseanne appealed to millions of viewers. Even after these shows departed the airwaves, they live on in syndication and on DVDs, entertaining many generations of viewers.
In Television Series of the 1980s: Essential Facts and Quirky Details, Vincent Terrace presents readers with a cornucopia of information about more than seventy programs from the decade. For example, did you know that Sam Malone had an ex-wife named Deborah? Or that MacGyver's alias was Dexter Fillmore? Or Dan Fielding's license plate on Night Court read "Hot to Trot"? These are just a handful of hundreds of fun and intriguing specifics found inside this volume. Programs from all four major networks (ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC)—as well as select syndicated programs—are represented here.
This is not a book of opinions or essays about specific television programs but a treasure trove of facts associated with each show. From the name of Roseanne's diner to the title of Jessica Fletcher's first novel, readers will discover a wealth of fascinating information that, for the most part, cannot be found elsewhere. In some cases, the factual data detailed herein is the only such documentation that currently exists on bygone shows of the era. Television Series of the 1980s is the ideal reference for fans of this decade and anyone looking to stump even the most knowledgeable trivia expert.

Mit mehr als 20 Jahren Berufserfahrung in der Fotoindustrie ist Paul Melcher der ideale Ansprechpartner, wenn man Fragen zum Business hat. Dennoch ist Fotografie für den, in Paris studierten Ökonom, nicht nur ein trockenes Geschäftsfeld, sondern auch eine Passion, wie sein Engament in diversen Blogs und Publikationen zum Thema beweist.
In unserem Interview überraschte er uns daher mit seiner Aussage, er selbst habe kein Talent zum Fotografieren. Und das obwohl schon sein Vater Fotograf war.
As a start, it would be great if you could introduce yourself to our readers.
Hi, I am currently Vice President, Images at Stipple, a fantastic photo tech company as well as a writer for Thoughts of a Bohemian, a blog about the photo industry. I have also recently launched a publication, The Photo/Tech cafe, aimed at reporting on the fast evolving aspects of photography and start up world.
I have held key executive roles in various photo agencies and photo tech companies in the last twenty years, selling a couple and closing others. I was born in the photography world, my dad is a retired photographer and ex director of Magnum and I eat, breath, think and sleep photography all the time.
Your article on Getty's new embed tool turned out to be very well balanced which I would not have expected from a "Bohemian" calling for a photographer revolution. I guess it was Paul Melcher the entrepreneur seeing Getty's move as the logical step in the changing microstock business?
Being a bohemian in this business is not about negatively criticizing everything new. Rather, it is about analyzing without solely using an excel spreadsheet. While numbers can give you a lot of information – if properly read – they never give you a full picture. You have to add the human element. My blog is not about giving boxed answers but provoking readers to ask the right questions. In philosophy, like in science, asking the right question is 90% of the answer.
Getty is not responding to the microstock business by offering free embed images and they are not trying to take away revenue from their contributors. Instead, they are taking the most obvious step in online licensing of images, something that the whole industry should have applied since the beginning and that I first wrote about many years ago.
Prices for images are plummeting. There are many reasons for this development though it seems as if Getty Images is passing the buck to internet users who do use images without permission. Which – by the way – is a bit ironical thinking about how Getty handled the Daniel Morel case.
By delivering files to clients, photographers have allowed the whole sharing, reposting, stealing culture that now exist to thrive and plagues their existence. They have dumped millions upon millions of valuable photographs online with absolutely no protection and no control. Instead, if they had offered embeddables only, they would now be one of the richest and most powerful players on the web. Getty understands that and because of their size and influence, is setting the ground work to make the transition possible for everyone else. Will it work? Only time will tell. But if it does, this will allow everyone in the photo licensing space to offer much more services, more accurately, to many more clients while getting much higher revenues. And, in the process, diminish the amount of images used without permission.
Embedded image technology goes far beyond protecting images. It opens the door to many various ways to generate revenue. For instance, you can price images by exact traffic instead of applying the same price for everyone. You can also add premium information directly on the image. Similar to what we do at Stipple, you could serve embedded images with additional information. A photo of a sports athlete could reveal its latest stats updated real time as well as a video of his latest success. That information can be monetized by third party companies.
As well, the data Getty will receive on how people interact with images is invaluable. Because of it, they will be able to tell in advance which type of images, of what topic, in what geography works better than others and offer that information to publishers and brands always eager to increase their engagement rates.
So yes, at first look it might seem that Getty is throwing millions of very valuable photos on the market for free in a desperate attempt to curve copyright infringement. But there is nothing further from the truth. Getty is finally coming to terms with what photography online should always have been.
I see no end to photography. It is here to stay.
For years now you have observed the photo business from the frontline. If you had to write a story about it, where would be the climax, the turning point and how will it end?
Wow. If I knew all this already, I stop writing and would be enjoying a life of luxury on a Caribbean beach. Forecast is made on retrospect. We only know what is the climax or turning point or end, once we passed it. But let me try to answer (and probably be proven wrong in a week). The climax of photography, I would say, was its invention. It is one of the most amazing invention of the human kind and while never getting credit for it, has greatly helped in many many fields like science, medicine, education, geography, history, as well as saved many lives, toppled governments, arrested criminals and much much more. And it will continue to do so.
The turning point would probably be the transition from film to digital. This has opened the door to the birth of the intelligent image we are witnessing today.
And finally, I see no end to photography. It is here to stay, in one form or the other, as long as human beings exist. We have, and always have, the urge to show, explain, remember and tell stories visually.
Smartphones, especially the iPhone gave rise to a new generation of photographers. Even well-known photographers discover the world of iPhoneography & Co. May I ask which cell phone you own and how often you use your device for taking pictures?
Android. I probably take on average one picture a day. But I am not a photographer. I just take really poor images of my family or things I find amusing. Very boring stuff. But in a general sense, it doesn't matter: You will be remembered for the photos you took, not what camera you took them with.
Whose artwork in the field of photography inspires you the most?
Eugene W. Smith. His work continues to baffle me after all these years. I am in complete admiration of almost everything he has done.
I do not see photojournalism being threatened, only its inadequate business model.
These days one can not only make (with the right settings) great photos with a smartphone but also send them directly to the preferred platform. Will the demand-first market save the industry or is it another step in the demise of photojournalism?
I am not sure the industry needs saving. Between companies like Shutterstock evaluated a more than $1 billion and Instagram selling – at the time – for the same amount, I think photography is doing very very well. The old models of revenue might be taking a beating but certainly not photography. As well, I do not see photojournalism being threatened, only its inadequate business model.
The demand first market is a just a much more efficient way to license images. Instead of creating a huge database of images and wait for someone to need an image – the current model -, spinning the model around and having a large database of image buyers request images when they need them and then have them be created is much more effective. No need for massive image database with complex search algorithms where 80% of images are never sold. Instead, you allow image buyers to tap in an existing network of photographers that either already have or can quickly produce the needed images. You also greatly reduce friction and frustration in both side of the marketplace. Current technologies now allow this to be done – with smartphones or other – so that request are full filed perfectly very quickly.
Photojournalism can greatly benefit from it by allowing news outlet to directly reach photographers on site and let them know what they need. It is also a fantastic tool for long term photojournalism. I think that if photojournalists better knew what the market is looking for, there will be less wasted time on photographing subject matter no one cares about.
You mentioned that money is made with usage data and not with the images themselves. Even if we see photography as a form of art which value will always be difficult to assess – declaring them as worthless in terms of money is hard to take in.
Not every image has value. That is a huge misconception. A photograph only has value if it matches a demand, even if that demand is calculated in number of visitors in a museum. Knowing what the demand is, how it evolves, how it reacts allows photographers to create valuable photograph and no longer shoot in the dark. Of course, all this data needs to be paired with human insight, otherwise it would be fruitless. There is still room for fine art and surprising artistic vision but that can also be better understood by market data. For now, we don't have that information but companies like Instagram or Facebook are quickly understanding what makes an image popular and soon will be able to use that information very effectively.
Let's take a look at the Manifesto for a Photographer Revolution. Why did you write it down?
I was getting tired of people, laws and regulation telling photographers what they can shoot, when and where. I am also getting tired of hearing great photographers having a hard time meeting ends. While it is partly their fault, it is about time that we let them have not only the freedom to express themselves but also the financial stability to do it well. My hope is that it triggers so more pronounced action by the community to revolt against abuse from different parts of our society.
Do you really think the goals can be achieved?
Yes. But it will take a lot of work and time.
One last personal question: Which city is more photogenic, New York or Paris?

New Year, New Chances to Do Things Better
by George Ochenski
Well, here we are, limping into 2022 after yet another tough year of dealing with the COVID pandemic and the vast fallout to our society it has engendered. We've lost far too many of our fellow citizens who will not have the opportunity to make any choices in the coming year. But for those of us who have so far survived the slings and arrows of misfortune, it's a time to think about how we can realistically deal with the array of challenges facing us— and our continuously bickering politicians — to hopefully do things better in the future.
The two major and unavoidable issues facing us right now are the on-going pandemic and the quickly worsening crisis of climate change — or more accurately, global baking — and the panoply of extreme weather events it is causing.
As far as the pandemic goes, the good news is we know how to deal with the virus and its current delta and omicron variants. Our vaccines are effective at reducing both fatalities and hospitalizations — but only if they're used. There's reason to believe, after far too long and far too many tragedies, that the tide is turning on the anti-vax, anti-mask crowd. Even the former guy is saying get vaxxed. And although his delusional "followers" booed him for that, perhaps he has finally realized you can't win elections if all your voters are sick or dead.
As far as climate change goes, if anyone still feels like arguing about that, consider that last week Kodiak, Alaska, hit 67 degrees, which made the shortest days of the year in the far, dark north warmer than it was on the same day in Southern California.
Many are doing their part to reduce their global warming gas emissions, but a problem of the magnitude of global climate change will not be solved by individuals. It will take real action by our politicians — and that doesn't mean promising us we're going to hit some miraculous net zero emissions three or four decades from now. As we've learned from our efforts to regulate a host of other pollutants via the Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act, it's far too easy for politicians to kick the can down the road to avoid any real or imagined diminution of their future election chances.
Nope, if we're going to somehow get out of this particular jam, it's going to take immediate — and perhaps drastic — actions now. And while politicians regularly dodge doing what's necessary while hiding behind the excuse of causing "hardship" on the populace, there's certainly one area from which we could immediately receive results. That would be pulling in our horns from the massive emissions generated every day by our military.
Besides the enormous greenhouse gas reductions, we'd free up hundreds of billions of dollars that could be immediately invested in renewable, non-polluting energy. If anyone doubts that, simply consider the outrageous truth that the U.S. currently spends more than China, India, Russia, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Germany, France, Japan, South Korea, Italy, and Australia combined.
Finally, although it takes Congress to cut our excessive military spending, we as citizens can reject the on-going attempts by any number of self-serving politicians and public figures to "divide and conquer" by turning us against each other for largely imaginary reasons.
As Abraham Lincoln said in his Gettysburg Address: "We are a government of the people, by the people and for the people"— and it's up to us to strive to make things better for all the people in the New Year.
George Ochenski is a columnist for the Missoulian, where this essay originally appeared.

Situated 120km from Weymouth on the English South Coast, and 50km from Normandy, Guernsey (population 65,000) is a beautifully scenic island with around 50km of coastline and a maritime climate supported by the gulf stream which leads to pleasant summers and mild winters. It is also well known for a regulatory-light insurance regime, leading to the island deriving 37% of its £2bn annual GDP from finance related activities (source: wikipedia).
Of course its this latter feature that has drawn such recent interest in the island from the UK pensions community. Longevity transactions have become big business over the last few years. the website Artemisblog.com documents the dealflow over the last decade showing a steady flow of 4-5 deals per year. 2014 was a particularly bumper year (for a number of reasons that I highlighted in a previous blog here – although funding levels have fallen substantially since then) including the mammoth £16bn deal executed by the BT Pension Scheme.
The BT deal also heralded a new structure for these type of deals: the traditional format was an "intermediated" trade where a UK regulated insurer (such as AbbeyLife or Legal & General) transacted with the pension scheme, with the vast bulk of the risk being transferred on to the offshore re-insurance market. What BT did was to set up their own insurance vehicle (known as a "captive"), domiciled outside of the UK and therefore subject to different insurance regulatory treatment. This vehicle then transacted with the re-insurer (in that case Prudential Insurance Corporation of America). Since then, there has been a rush of new providers to the market offering similar structures set up in a way designed to be accessible to smaller schemes – Towers Watson announced their entry into the provider market with the launch of Longevity Direct solution in January of 2015, closely followed by the MNOPF's £1.5bn transaction. In February 2015 PwC announced their solution in partnership with Artex risk. The more traditional intermediaries (Deutsche Bank and L&G) also have similar solutions available.
But what questions should trustees and sponsors be asking about this "new breed" of solutions?
1. What happens in the case of insurance regulatory change in the domicile in question ?
We know Guernsey regulation is favorable right now, But what are the obligations of the pension scheme should this change in the future? In what situation could the scheme be forced to provide more capital to the insuring entity?
2. What happens in the case of re-insurer default or deterioration of credit rating?
In the more traditional intermediated solutions the UK regulated insurance entity (AbbeyLife or L&G) typically bears the risk and expense of needing to replace a re-insurer in the event of default event (a risk they are required to hold capital against in the UK regime). Of course re-insurer default is not a likely event by any means, but these are trades of 20 years or more, and a lot can happen over that period of time. Who bears this risk in the offshore captive solution?
3. how many re-insurers does the provider have ability to deal with? Are there any limits in place on capacity?
The price of any solution will be driven by the re-insurers to whom the ultimate risk is being passed – there are around 13 or so re-insurers globally with appetite to write these kind of risks, to ensure best pricing tension it makes sense that as many as possible should be included in the process.
Longevity is a big risk facing many schemes and solutions to help reduce that risk should be welcomed. A growing universe of providers leads to choice, innovation and pricing tension, which is also to be welcomed. However trustees and their advisors need to examine the details of any solution, and ask the right questions.
I hear Guernsey really is lovely this time of year.

Simplifying Australia's Tax System
Monday, 19 September 2011 Features
Australia has more than 100 taxes, some of the most complex in the world. Professor Chris Evans from the Australian School of Taxation and Business Law will lead a team of academics in a research project to investigate ways to reduce the complexity of Australia's tax system.
The project "Assessing and addressing tax system complexity", which has received a $150,000 ARC Linkage Grant, responds to calls for fresh empirical research to underpin efforts to simplify the tax system.
The team of academics, including Dr Binh Tran-Nam from UNSW and colleagues from Monash, Curtin and University of Tasmania, will work with The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia and its members to explore the causes, indicators, costs and effects of tax system complexity, and to identify and evaluate means through which the complexity can be reduced and monitored.
Professor Chris Evans says the project will have a significant impact, "It will seek to identify the key factors underpinning tax system complexity, measure the costs it imposes upon taxpayers, and develop complexity indices that can test new policy measures and monitor improvements.
"Reducing tax system complexity will improve government, business and personal productivity, increase compliance and improve interaction between tax agencies, practitioners and taxpayers. The comprehensive business and personal indices of tax system complexity that the project will produce will be a world first," he said. Professor Evans is one of the invited tax academics attending the government's Tax Forum, being held in Canberra on 4 and 5 October.

A massive crowd filled up nearly every inch of living space in one of the inner west largest homes today to watch a home auction that offered something a little different from the norm.
IT'S was a home reminiscent of the time machine in science fiction show Doctor Who — a small, Tardis-like structure on the outside belying a gargantuan living space inside.
The Annandale warehouse at 22 Nelson St was easily one of the biggest homes to go under the hammer yesterday, but even the roomy 450sqm of floorspace began to look tiny once the crowds poured in.
More than 150 people attended the auction to watch the unique, four-bedroom property sell under the hammer for $4.18 million — $180,000 above expectations.
The warehouse's interior was the brainchild of designer owners Joe Sidoti and wife Natalie, who converted it from an empty workshop into a modern home five years ago.
Mr Sidoti said he was flattered to see so many people appreciated their tastes.
Five keen buyers registered for the auction, with bidding starting at $3.7 million.
The buyers were a local couple with plans to move into the property.
Selling agent Chris Nunn of BresicWhitney said the home received such a strong response from buyers because it was "one of a kind".
Warehouse conversions tended to attract big interest from buyers — and big prices — because they offered something different from the norm, Mr Nunn said.
Among the other inner west homes sold at auction yesterday was a three-bedroom house on Toothill St in Lewisham, which changed hands for $1,292,500. The price guide was $1.275 million. Four buyers registered to bid, with two actively taking part.
Selling agent Rhonda Yim of Belle Property-Annandale said the home's period features were a popular draw for house hunters.
The buyers were reported to be a young couple who had been seeking out a home for a number of years.
CoreLogic records showed 514 homes went under the hammer across Sydney yesterday, a marginal increase from last week but almost 100 less than over the same weekend last year. Last week just 52.3 per cent of auctions were a success, with property experts expecting a similar clearance rate this week.

#1 way to manage conflict. Lose.
Often little or big conflicts arise in my day because I'm holding onto beliefs, opinions, or perceptions. These are Rumi's ideas of wrong doing and right doing. In my small life sphere, my beliefs can lead to minor conflicts with my husband, bigger rifts with siblings, occasionally lost friendships and once my beliefs got me laid off from a job. (Not to say I wasn't RIGHT). On a global scale, right and wrongdoing are the main proponents behind war, diaspora and genocide.
I know. Somethings are just right and some are wrong. But is there another way to approach conflict?
At the Sunday Sit, Peter led me to arrange myself in a relaxed seat with an alert, straight spine. Then he directed me to breathe in and say "in" to myself. Then breathe out and say "out" to myself. He encouraged me to "lose" my usual perspective, thinking and beliefs. He urged me to take responsibility and believe that I could direct my attention. I could keep coming back to "in" and "out". This is a concentration practice.
Peter mentioned that we can become accustomed to "losing" in this way. Losing is the first step toward trustworthiness.
I can't explain how it works. When I loosen the hold of a perspective that binds me, even for a few moments, new insights arise. I can then empathize with another person, and am free to take action from a new place. Try the practice above. Then test it out in a minor conflict in your life and share a comment or question below.

Bridgewater State University and Brockton Public Schools Professional Development Strong Partnership Highlighted by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
The BSU/BPS partnership identifies its greatest success in the relationships between BSU staff and district teachers. Not only are BSU staff welcome and supported in the schools, students see BSU staff so often that they assume they work for the district. How did BSU and Brockton Public Schools form such a close working relationship? They did so by prioritizing the partnership as a critical component of teacher development, embedding BSU staff into the partner sites, and committing leadership to its sustainability.

Class of 2017, Brockton High School
All of my life I have wanted to become a teacher but I didn't think I could start working towards it until college. The Educators Rising Club (formerly Future Teachers) at Brockton High School has opened my eyes and made me realize that there are things that I can do now to prepare for a career in education. This club is a lot of fun because we learn about something that we are interested in that will better help us prepare for the future. What makes it even more engaging is that we are not being forced to learn; everyone is there because they want to be which means that everyone participates and enjoys the time that we have there.
Through activities and discussions, we learn what it takes to be a teacher. Last year we attended a Future Teachers conference at Bridgewater State University where we, along with other students from various schools, spent the day learning how to be a teacher from college professors. It was a lot of fun and we looked at teaching in many different ways.
We are looking forward to attending the next Educators Rising Conference at Bridgewater State on April 8, 2016. In the meantime, Bridgewater State has been allowing their education professors to come visit us. For instance, through interactive activities, Dr. Jennifer Menak taught us about "read alouds" and classroom management. Dr. Stephen Krajenksi did an interactive lesson on states of matter in which he taught us like 3rd graders and then allowed us to reflect as teachers. Through this affiliation between Brockton High School and Bridgewater State University, we learn what to expect as we pursue our dreams.

Meet Emma Woods, Wagamama CEO
Snapshot of franchise directors
Next up in our 'Meet the CEO' series is Emma Woods, the leading lady of Wagamama.
Wagamama is lots of Japanese food lovers' favourite restaurant chain. But who's behind the successful brand?
Who is Wagamama's CEO, Emma Woods?
The CEO of Wagamama is Emma Woods. She succeeded Jane Holbrook in the company's top position in December 2018. Across two years at the restaurant chain, Emma climbed the company hierarchy from her original position as Customer Director in 2017.
Before arriving at Wagamama, she had held positions at other companies, including Marketing Director at both Unilever and Pizza Express. Immediately before joining Wagamama, she was Non-Executive Director of The Gym Group.
Emma studied Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford before embarking on her corporate career.
Keen to further the growth of Wagamama in the UK and beyond, Emma Woods says:
"I am passionate about innovation. I have always been passionate [about] it. And again, I have been passionate about it since working at Unilever.'
What is Wagamama?
Wagamama serves up Japanese-style cuisine all over the world. The restaurant chain was born in the UK, which is now its leading market, but it also has branches across Europe, North America and the Middle East. Wagamama has recently opened new premises in Spain and Saudi Arabia, and aspires to expand further into the US by building on its three existing stateside restaurants in the near future.
Wagamama proudly claims to believe in the philosophy of 'Kaizen', or 'good change'. When opening its first store in Bloomsbury, London, the chain realised that there was a gap in the market for a healthy alternative to fast food. Ever since the first restaurant's doors opened, Wagamama has combined nutritious and nourishing flavours with fast-paced table service.
Meet Brad Sugars, ActionCOACH CEO
Meet Philip Jansen, BT CEO
Meet Will Shu, Deliveroo CEO
Meet Mark Slade, Kwik Fit CEO
Meet the CEO of M&S
How successful is the Wagamama restaurant chain?
Having capitalised on new trends, Wagamama has only grown in recent years. The brand reported a 12 percent increase in turnover in the first quarter of 2018, and also opened four new restaurants across Liverpool, Rushden Lakes, Chelmsford and the East Midlands. With new franchise locations also having opened in Qatar, Norway and Italy, it's clear that Wagamama is still leading the clean-eating movement that is sweeping across the globe.
Succeeding in a digital age
Wagamama's success in recent years is partially down to the development of its online delivery service. Since Deliveroo arrived on the fast-food scene in 2013, Wagamama diners have been able to enjoy the chain's menu from the comfort of their own homes. The Japanese franchise has consistently been one of Deliveroo's most popular restaurant chains and, in 2018, its chicken katsu curry was one of the delivery app's top 10 most ordered dishes in London.

Bullying can happen anywhere at any time. It can happen to anyone. Almost half of all people report having been bullied at some point in their lives. That statistic is often of no consolation to someone who is currently being bullied, but here's some information that can help you or someone you know who is being bullied.
Understand you're not the problem. Most bullies have been bullied themselves or their actions are a result of prejudice or abuse at home, insecurity or jealousy. It's important to understand that you are not the problem when you are being bullied. Bullies often have underlying reasons for acting the way they do that have nothing to do with you.
Take away the bully's power. When bullies see that you're willing to stand up for yourself, they tend to back off. If a bully tries to get you to do something you don't want to do, say "no" and walk away. Bullies also want to elicit a reaction. If you don't react, sometimes that's enough to stop their behavior.
Avoid the bully. Do what you can to avoid a run-in with someone who is bullying you. Try to anticipate where the bully will be and avoid a confrontation, but don't isolate yourself or stop doing things you enjoy doing. Find a buddy to be with you in situations where you may encounter the bully because bullies tend to pick on their victims when they're alone.
Tell an adult. If you are being bullied by someone, it's important to tell an adult even if you think you can handle it. Less than half of all people who are bullied report it, usually because they are embarrassed, afraid or think that no one will do something. Sometimes, a bully will stop if they know a teacher or parent knows about what they're doing because they fear getting in trouble. Adults can also give you advice for how to deal with the bully.
Talk to someone you trust. Even if you don't want to tell an adult about what's happening, you should talk to someone you trust. It can be very upsetting and stressful to be bullied. You should never have to deal with these feelings alone.


Growing up, I loved school. I was incredibly fortunate to live in an area where the public schools were filled with life-long teachers, an abundance of extracurricular activities, and strong athletic programs. I thrived on the structure of a school day: arrival, band, class, lunch, class, soccer, homework, practice, bed. Every day, I repeated the routine, and my goal was to master every part of it. I worked hard and had teachers who challenged me; I didn't know anything different. When I applied to colleges, I had teachers and relatives who actively told me not to pursue education. At the time, I went back and forth between becoming a teacher and an engineer. I didn't know too much about engineering, but I knew that it was challenging and that was exciting, so I accepted my offer to study chemical engineering at the University of Minnesota.
Once at the U of M, there were a number of experiences that led me back to education. My freshman year, I attended the LeaderShape institute which is designed to develop leaders who "lead with integrity and a healthy disregard for the impossible." My mentors encouraged me to write about my deepest values and to create a vision for my future. Everything I wrote was related to children and education. Although I continued to study in the college of science engineering, I changed my major to Chemistry and began taking education courses through the DirecTrack for Teaching, volunteering through Big Brothers Big Sisters, and volunteering in tutoring programs at local schools. I interned at a Breakthrough Program in Minneapolis called LearningWorks and created a curriculum and taught my own class for the first time. During this time, I knew that I liked chemistry, but I loved education. I applied for and accepted my offer to join TFA and was invited to participate in a pilot placement program. I told them that I wanted to be in a region where there was a true need for teachers, where there was a positive relationship between TFA and the community, and where change was happening with education. I chose Memphis from a list of four regions because I read inspiring stories of young people making big changes in a city full of history. I read about parents who were fighting for awareness, about teachers walking their students home from school, and a movement to keep young talent in the city. When I chose Memphis, I only knew half of the passion that exists in this city. I believe that education is one of, if not the top priority for people in Memphis and it is energizing to be a part of this movement.
I spent my first two years teaching Chemistry and coaching girls' soccer and girls rugby at Power Center Academy High School (PCAHS). Throughout my time at PCAHS, I have learned the power of a strong community amongst faculty; the importance of grace for students, coworkers, and myself; and that my students can think critically and grow tremendously when they are provided with adequate support. I also learned that a change in leadership can change school culture, that there are not enough students at my high school who are on grade level for math and reading, and that when you want something to change in education you have to go and do it. I want to be a part of a team that will change the game for kids before it is too late. All students deserve the opportunity to learn from passionate educators who believe in kids' ability to succeed, who constantly strive to be better at teaching, who are willing to go above and beyond to create a community within a classroom which is #whyibelievememphisacademy is where I need to be. I want to be surrounded by teachers who want to be the best they can be and motivated by leaders who will challenge and support me, all so that students can be better than they ever though they could be.
Ms. Hitchcock is a Teach For America Alumnus who is entering her 3rd year of teaching in Memphis. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from the University of Minnesota. Through her teaching career, she has coached multiple sports and been involved in several community organizations like Engineers Without Borders. We are so excited to have Ms. Hitchcock as a founding teacher of Believe!


« Henry Norris at the Arsenal: Part 1. How Arsenal fell from grace.
In 1971, at White Hart Lane Arsenal won their first league title since 1953 and won the league with just one point less than the record breaking 66 points achieved in 1931 when Herbert Chapman won Arsenal the league for the first time ever, the club playing the same number of games.
And on 8 May 1971 Arsenal carried on where they had left off at Tottenham the previous Monday and won the Double for the first time, beating Liverpool 2-1 in the FA Cup, in extra time. Kelly and George got the goals – with Charlie George doing his famous on-the-ground celebration that is still shown as part of the prelude to games at the Emirates stadium.
Eddie Kelly's goal is also of note. He wasn't even listed in the programme, coming on for Storey on 65 minutes, and yet scored the first Arsenal goal. At first it was thought that George Graham had scored, and Kelly even went to Graham to congratulate him, but it turned out that it was Kelly's goal: Graham had certainly distracted the keeper, but Kelly got the last touch. Graham however did get the consolation of being named Player of the Final. Frank McLintock was player of the year having played in 42 league games and all nine FA Cup matches.
As for the game itself, Arsenal missed at least three superb chances in normal time, George, Kennedy and Armstrong all missing out. And then Liverpool scored first in the second minute of extra time. Kelly's goal came ten minutes later and Charlie George won the Double with ten minutes to go.
It was only the second time Arsenal had played in front of 100,000.
The media however were unimpressed, generally calling Arsenal the best of a poor bunch, which hardly reflects the battle between the top two in the league, nor two European trophies being taken by English teams, and a third club making one of the Euro semi-finals. But it was ever thus. Some 33 years later some of the media had reservations about the Unbeaten Season too.
On 9 May an estimated half a million people are said to have lined the streets to see the Double Winners' Parade. Frank McLintock is also said to have fallen asleep on the town hall steps due to some energetic celebrating the night before.
Attending both the Tottenham games and the Cup Final was George Male, whose final match for Arsenal was 23 years previously on 11 May 1948 when the result was Arsenal 8 Grimsby 0. George was the first ever player in the League to win the championship six times and played 285 times for Arsenal.
He then became a coach for the club working with the youth and reserve teams, as well as working as a scout, and it was in this role that he discovered Charlie George. Having joined the club in 1929 he retired from a life in football and a life serving the club he loved, in 1975. He died in February 1998 aged 87, the last survivor but one, of the men who played for Herbert Chapman. Seven months later Ray Bowden, the final hero of Chapman's Arsenal died aged 89. The very last connection with Chapman passing away in the year of the utterly unexpected Double.
On 14 May Arsenal's Cup Final record, "Good Old Arsenal" entered the top 40 singles charts. It is perhaps best not to dwell on this too long save to note one rather amusing side-issue. For many years the Daily Express had bought the rights to produce a song sheet that could be used by fans to sing Abide with Me and their own club song during the Cup Final.
However the newspaper, and its nominated cup final celebrity Jimmy Hill, became very concerned because in the run-up to the final, they felt that there was "confusion" over what was the "official" Arsenal song for the final that Arsenal fans would sing. The fact that there might even be such a thing and that the fans were not capable of devising their own song or songs, shows how football had always been run in the past, with the image of the game controlled by the media. In the end Jimmy Hill announced in the Express that he had taken the decision in consultation with the club and printed what now the official Arsenal song – which he then claimed to have written. No one took a blind bit of notice, and the whole notion of an official fans song sheet ceased after this final.
One week after the cup final, on 15 May John Roberts made his international début. He only made 56 league starts for Arsenal, but 18 of those were in the first Double season. The following week Frank McLintock played his ninth and last game for Scotland. After retiring completely from playing, he joined his old club Leicester City as manager in 1977. However, City went through a spell where they had one win in 26 matches and Frank's tenure was not a happy one.
Arsenal had arranged no end of season tour, but they had arranged a pre-season game, which they apparently could not get out of, and so did not play in the Charity Shield the following August.
Since then of course Arsenal have of course repeated the achievement twice more.
Elsewhere in football, Tottenham gained tiny amount of consolation for their end of season humiliation by winning the league cup, Leeds as we have noted won the Fairs Cup and Chelsea won the Cup Winners Cup.
There was also an oddity this season: the Ford Sporting League. For this trophy clubs were awarded a point for every goal scored at home and two points for every goal scored away, but lost 5 points if a player was booked and 10 points if a player was sent off. Points were earned and lost across the league season with all league clubs being part of the event. However as the 3rd and 4th divisions played more matches only the first 42 league matches for those leagues counted. Oldham won the league and picked up £70,000 – the equivalent of around £1m in 2015 finances.
In 2015 the Daily Mirror ran an article on the Ford League and endeavoured to work out who would have won it in the 2014/15 season. And the problem they found was that not a single club would have ended up with a positive score, the winner being Bristol City with -109 points. That is minus 109.
The problem of course is that while the number of goals hasn't changed that much, the number of sendings off and bookings has escalated. In the 1970s they were very rare indeed – now of course we expect three or four yellow cards a game.
However this sponsorship was part of the very first moves into such financing of football by outside agencies, for also on the scene for 1970/1 was the Watney Cup (a knockout competition between the top scoring teams of the previous season who had not won promotion or got into Europe) and the Texaco Cup (in which 16 teams from England and Scotland which had not qualified for Europe took part). It is a reflection on the times that teams from N Ireland and Ireland were invited, accepted and then withdrew because of political pressures. As a result this later became the Anglo-Scottish Cup.
Then, in a move that wasn't noticed at the time on 11 June 1971 Liam Brady joined Arsenal as apprentice professional from St Kevin's Boys, aged 15. He turned pro two years later.
On 29 June Don Howe left Arsenal having helped guide the club to the Double as first team coach. He moved on to WBA where he stayed until 1975 before a year at Galatasaray SK after which he returned to Arsenal as manager.
Just 16 players played for Arsenal in the league this season with one of those (Marinello) getting one start and one other, Sammy Nelson, getting two.
The goalscoring had returned big time with Kennedy getting 19, Radford 15 and Graham 11. George Armstrong was back on the scene as well, playing every single league match and scoring seven. The other members of the "42" club were Bob Wilson and Frank McLintock. Rice, Radford and Kennedy each played in 41 games.
Terry Burton, who was the captain, didn't play for Arsenal first team, and after not getting a professional contract in 1971 he joined Folkestone. But he did return to Arsenal in 2012 as head development coach. Paul Davis, Brian Hornsby, Brendon Batson, and David Price you will know.
Denis Hill-Wood (Chairman), Guy Smith, Robert Bellinger, Stuart McIntyre, Noel Bone, Bob Wall (Secretary).

Valmir L. Bogo is buried in the Cemitério Municipal de Ascurra at the location displayed on the map below. This GPS information is ONLY available at BillionGraves. Our technology can help you find the gravesite and other family members buried nearby.
Valmir L. Bogo was 18 years old when The tanker Exxon Valdez spilled 10.8 million US gallons (260,000 bbl; 41,000 m3) of oil into Prince William Sound, Alaska, causing one of the most devastating man-made maritime environmental disasters. A tanker is a ship designed to transport or store liquids or gases in bulk. Major types of tankship include the oil tanker, the chemical tanker, and gas carrier. Tankers also carry commodities such as vegetable oils, molasses and wine. In the United States Navy and Military Sealift Command, a tanker used to refuel other ships is called an oiler but many other navies use the terms tanker and replenishment tanker.
Valmir L. Bogo was 20 years old when The World Wide Web is opened to the public. The World Wide Web (WWW), also called the Web, is an information space where documents and other web resources are identified by Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), interlinked by hypertext links, and accessible via the Internet. English scientist Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web in 1989. He wrote the first web browser in 1990 while employed at CERN in Switzerland. The browser was released outside CERN in 1991, first to other research institutions starting in January 1991 and to the general public on the Internet in August 1991.

Steve Madincea, co-founder and managing partner at Fantastec, discusses ways rights-holders can turn to emerging technologies to engage fans at a a time when stadiums are closed and live viewership is falling. Steve Madincea December 10, 2020
Live sport has returned to viewers' screens, but a return to pre-Covid viewership levels has yet to be achieved. Sky's Premier League viewership was down in October and tennis' US Open hemorrhaged 45 per cent of its viewership this year. This poses the question: why are fans tuning out when lockdown restrictions on our social lives suggest we should be glued to our screens? As the virus rumbles on, followers of the beautiful game are greatly missing their sense of community. Social media can only deliver so much before fatigue quickly sets in. Superficial likes and follows are down significantly from their heyday as they cannot provide the meaningful connections fans crave so dearly. So how do clubs with a massive international following find new ways to engage across the globe? How can teams interact in meaningful ways with the new mobile-first generation? How can they engage them with a shared appreciation of the new pandemic sporting spectacle?
A changing game
Live match scheduling has been altered like never before because of the delayed start to the football season, and multiple sports are now competing for fans' attention simultaneously. Without live fans in stadiums, there is also a sense these games are in some way less important. Together, these factors have combined to create an alarming drop in TV and online viewership. The theatre of the "grand occasion" has been diminished. Compounding the drop in TV and online views, the traditional revenue pillars for football clubs are crumbling. Teams can no longer entertain tens of thousands of fans on matchday at their expensive stadiums. As one example, Borussia Dortmund reported matchday revenue dropped from €8.6m in the first quarter of 2019/20 to €0.2m in Q1 in 2020-21. The team's broadcast revenue more than halved as well. Sports fans are accelerating their desire to consume sport in something other than the traditional long form of media currently being served up to them, which means clubs must distribute content across multiple digital platforms to serve the modern fan. Access must feel unique and authentic, not contrived.
Can tech create new ways to connect?
A few pioneering teams are already experimenting with augmented reality, stats overlays, unique visual angles, and a host of innovative and immersive technologies. Others are offering VR headsets to stream visually enhanced matchdays into your home. Users can quickly become matchday producers with real-time stats, behind-the-scenes footage, and replay opportunities. The future is all about personalising the in-game experience for this massive worldwide digitally knowledgeable audience. Blockchain is the technology offering the biggest upside for new and valuable ways to connect with fans around the world and importantly protect a team's intellectual property. Working with this unique decentralised business model allows clubs to maximise scalable direct-to-fan networks at a low cost and crucially in a secure digital environment. Clubs can motivate fans to share information through loyalty programmes, creating digital collectibles, memorable fan experiences and other incentives in exchange for critical fan data now the domain of third-party platforms. It creates a genuine two-way relationship, keeping fans coming back for more. This increased visibility to all of a team's followers' interactions can only help clubs better define more customised and personalised fan experiences. Fantastec SWAP is an example of the way blockchain is being used to provide authentic and verifiable team assets to this mobile-first generation. Working with leading European football clubs such as Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid, SWAP's unique blockchain base was specifically created to enhance fan retention. Each SWAP digital collectible is an exclusive team asset and provides an irrefutable, unique record of this team IP. Player signatures, usually out of reach for the everyday global football fan, can now be secured at the click of a button and stored securely on the blockchain.
The route forwards
The financial tremor of the pandemic will continue to be felt for a long time, so a new way of thinking is imperative in every club's recovery plan. Clubs must create new revenue streams immediately and ensure they are focused on growing and retaining their worldwide fanbase. It is vital teams focus on preserving and building the shared sense of community giving football its unique ability to connect and engage people from all walks of life. The path to sustainable growth lies in embracing new technologies with customised fan retention strategies. This will allow clubs to consistently reach worldwide audiences via different, innovative platforms with authentic and meaningful connections. This kind of retention methodology and thinking marks the beginning of a new era for fan engagement. Steve Madincea is co-founder and managing partner at Fantastec

When I go to the right path "...index/overview", IndexZoomViewPanelContainer is displayed, but when I'm passing the children (the Route for IndexZoomOverviewContainer in this case) from the container (IndexZoomViewPanelContainer) to the view (IndexZoomViewPanelComponent), it doesn't display it and gives me an error:
Error ScreenShot : https://i.gyazo.com/990f92d3058806baa576dca5247ace9e.png
When I removed this.props.children, its not showing any error.
Here is the routing:
<Route className="fullHeight fullWidth" key="indexzoom" path="index/" component={indexmonitor.IndexZoomViewPanelContainer} >
     <Route className="fullHeight fullWidth" key="indexzoom1" path="overview" component={indexmonitor.IndexZoomOverviewContainer} />
     <Route className="fullHeight fullWidth" key="indexzoom2" path={routes.INDEX_ZOOM_CONSTITUENTS_RELATIVE_PATH} component={dashboard.DashboardListContainer} />
 </Route>

IndexZoomViewPanelContainer:
class IndexZoomViewPanelContainer extends React.Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props)
    }

    componentDidMount() {
    }

    componentWillUnmount() {
    }

    render() {
        return <IndexZoomViewPanelComponent>
                  {this.props.children}
               </IndexZoomViewPanelComponent>;
    }
}

IndexZoomViewPanelComponent:
function IndexZoomViewPanelComponent(props) {
        const tabs = getTabs();
        return (
            <div className="container">
                <viewPanel.ViewPanel title={"Index Zoom"}
                    authKey={perm.INDEX_ZOOM_VIEWPANEL_PERM}
                    path={route.APP_PATH}
                    getPermStateFunc={(state) => state.MENUPERMS}
                >
                    <TabControl tabs={tabs} selected={route.INDEX_ZOOM_OVERVIEW_RELATIVE_PATH}>
                        {props.children}
                    </TabControl>
                </viewPanel.ViewPanel>
            </div>
        );
    }

A:
I want to try to display IndexZoomOverviewContainer into IndexZoomViewPanelContainer

<Route className="fullHeight fullWidth" key="indexzoom" path="index/"
component={indexmonitor.IndexZoomViewPanelContainer} >

IndexZoomViewPanelContainer renderd as a part of routing and it don't have any children
So,
return <IndexZoomViewPanelComponent>{this.props.children}</IndexZoomViewPanelComponent>

in the above script, this.props.children will be undefined and it will throw the error that you have shared.
In order to work this,it should be,
 return <IndexZoomViewPanelComponent><IndexZoomOverviewContainer /></IndexZoomViewPanelComponent>

A: Here's a way to achieve what you need in the route :
// I'm renaming your components and removing className/key for readability

<Route path="/index" render={() => (
  <IndexZoomViewPanelContainer>
    <Route path="/index/overview" component={IndexZoomOverviewContainer} />
  </IndexZoomViewPanelContainer>
  )}
/>

You can also make your nested routes in IndexZoomViewPanelContainer component directly.

Hamburg haven't exactly made a habit of blowing teams away since dropping down to the second division, but they've been tough to beat, while they've certainly made a habit of grinding out results on a regular basis, which is why they're currently top of the table. Considering that they had a man sent off early doors, Monday's hosts can be forgiven for their latest league defeat, especially since their recent performances at this venue have been very pleasing.
In general, Hamburg have been strong on their own patch. They've won three of their last four at home and are now unbeaten in six at this venue. Impressively, they've bettered their opponents in terms of expected goals in five of those six, while they recorded an impressive expected-goals for total of 2.19 when last in league action at Volksparkstadion.
In contrast, Dresden have found it tough to hit their stride on the road. Monday's visitors come into this fixture having lost away against Heidenheim last time out, while they've now won just one of their last seven on the road. During that time, they've suffered some heavy defeats, losing 8-1 away against Koln and 3-0 away against Paderborn. Barring those two defeats, they've kept things respectable, but they struggle for forward potency.

Un puer mingēns (prononciation latine : [ˈpʊ.ɛr mɪŋ.ɡeːns]) ou, au pluriel, puerī mingentēs (prononciation latine : [ˈpʊ.ɛr.iː mɪŋ.ˈɡɛn.teːs]), est une figure d'une œuvre d'art représentée sous la forme d'un garçon prépubère en train d'uriner, que ce soit réel ou simulé. Les pueri mingentes pouvaient représenter n'importe quoi, de la fantaisie et de l'innocence enfantine aux symboles érotiques de la virilité et de la bravade masculine.

Étymologie et jeu de mots

Le terme puer mingens vient du latin puer, signifiant « garçon », et du latin mingens, participe présent du verbe mingere qui signifie « uriner ».

En latin, les verbes pour uriner comme mingere étaient fréquemment employés dans le sens d'« éjaculer ». Cette connotation a été conservée dans divers dérivés du latin, y compris l'italien avec des mots tels que pisciare. L'urine émise par le pénis du puer mingens peut être interprétée symboliquement comme du sperme ; les pueri mingentes se retrouvent fréquemment dans les ouvrages augurant de la fertilité et de la fécondité. Vénus et Cupidon (Lorenzo Lotto) en est un exemple.

Dans plusieurs langues, comme l'italien, le français et l'anglais, « faire de l'eau » était un euphémisme pour uriner. En allusion à cela, on peut trouver des représentations d'un puer mingens « faisant de l'eau » dans des œuvres telles que la Bacchanale des enfants de Michel-Ange, ou dans les lavabos d'église dont les trombes sont placées devant les aines de garçons nus (d'où l'illusion que leur urine a été transformée en eau). Les Pueri mingentes étaient fréquemment incorporés en tant que statues pleinement fonctionnelles dont les tuyaux propulsaient des jets d'eau hors du pénis des statues. L'un des exemples les plus connus est le Manneken-Pis à Bruxelles.

Renaissances de puer mingens

Les Pueri mingentes sont un motif classique que l'on retrouve parfois dans l'Antiquité. Des exemples romains antiques de pueri mingentes sont figurés principalement sur des sarcophages d'enfants.

Le puer mingens a été relancé à la Renaissance. Donatello, qui a ouvert la voie à la réinvention du motif plus large des putti en sculpture, a représenté l'un des premiers exemples de la Renaissance d'un puer mingens sur la base de sa statue de Judith et Holopherne. Depuis sa renaissance dans la Florence des années 1400, le motif artistique des garçons urinant s'est répandu dans le reste de l'Europe, atteignant son apogée à la fin de la Renaissance aux  avant de perdre progressivement en popularité.

Emplacements des Pueri mingentes

À l'époque romaine, le puer mingens se trouvait généralement dans les représentations de rites bachiques sur les sarcophages des enfants. À partir de la Renaissance, les puer mingens peuvent être trouvés dans l'art profane et religieux et à travers une gamme de supports, des manuscrits enluminés, des fontaines fonctionnelles, des fresques, aux amulettes apotropaïques.

En raison des associations avec la fertilité, les pueri mingentes se trouvent sur des deschi da parto, plateaux donnés aux femmes enceintes et à celles qui ont récemment accouché afin de témoigner et de célébrer la naissance saine d'une progéniture mâle. Les peintures conçues comme cadeaux de mariage, telles que Vénus et Cupidon de Lorenzo Lotto, peuvent également représenter des garçons en train d'uriner.

Le puer mingens était incorporé bien en évidence dans des fontaines qui projetaient de l'eau hors du pénis de la statue. Bien que ce motif artistique soit d'origine romaine, il existe peu d'attestations de fontaines fonctionnelles incorporant des pueri mingentes à l'époque romaine ; les Romains possédaient cependant des statues fonctionnelles représentant Priape adulte en train d'uriner, ce qui a peut-être inspiré le développement à la Renaissance des statues de garçons en train d'uriner. En plus des espaces publics, tels que l'emplacement du Manneken Pis dans le centre de Bruxelles, des fontaines fonctionnelles ornaient également de nombreux jardins privés des  à travers l'Europe.

Nyambe out to make history
Rovers right-back will hope to help Namibia record first AFCON victory
Ryan Nyambe will hope Namibia can end their Africa Cup of Nations campaign on a high when they take on Ivory Coast later today (kick-off 5pm).
The Rovers right-back has played the full 90 minutes in central defence in Namibia's opening two group games, which have seen the Brave Warriors slip to 1-0 defeats to both Morocco and South Africa.
Ivory Coast currently sit second in Group D, having started their tournament with a 1-0 victory over South Africa, being losing 1-0 to Morocco on Friday night.
Nyambe will have to keep the likes of Jonathan Kodjia, Jean Michael Seri and Max Gradel quiet if his country are to record an historic win, which could still see them progress to the knockout phase.
The Brave Warriors will advance to the next round if they secure victory over Ivory Coast and other results go their way.
Namibia have qualified for the finals for a third time, but are still looking for their first tournament victory, having ended the 1998 and 2008 competitions without a win.
Meanwhile, Jayson Leutwiler's involvement at the CONCACAF Gold Cup is over after Canada lost 3-2 to Haiti in a dramatic quarter-final at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.
The Rovers goalkeeper was once again an unused substitute as The Reds threw away a two-goal lead in the second half, as they missed out on a place in the last four.

Namibia bow out of AFCON
Ryan Nyambe's first taste of tournament football came to an end last night, as Namibia lost 4-1 to a star-studded Ivory Coast side.
Nyambe should enjoy the experience
Tony Mowbray believes Ryan Nyambe will return to Rovers a better player following his participation at this summer's Africa Cup of Nations.


Quo Vadis Annual Silent Retreat: "Silence: Learning to Speak God's Language"
Description/Details: Every year, Father Jean Paul Soler shares with us three days full Theological Knowledge inspired by Ignatian teaching, filling us up with virtues and a fuller understanding of our faith. This won't be a charismatic weekend, but rather, a reflective and silent weekend in retreat, away for the city noise. Please join us!
The drop-off point for the retreat will be Our Lady Queen of Martyrs (91 Arden St, New York, NY 10040), from which we will move to the retreat center at Mount Alvernia Retreat House (1260, 158 Delavergne Ave, Wappingers Falls, NY 12590).
Only 45 spots are still available. First come, first serve.


Accident – gash on my head, natural first aid to stop bleeding, tea tree oil, manuka honey, Mt Franklin, Sick, Grape Seed Extract, Ester-C, antioxidants.
Woke up with 2 dreams. Starting to record my dreams. One about negative entities attacking my friend, and another about youtuber's sharing falseness who aren't seeing beyond.
Heading home. Camping in the freezing cold. Changes my thoughts about moving to Ballarat region for my business.
Follow the sun. Van life.
Being alone while camping allowed me to understand more about negative & positive entities and how they interact with us.
Drugs vs Natural way of experiencing the changes in the universe.
Detoxing from fluoride & toxins. There's a lot of stuff that are stopping people from seeing the changes in the universe. Chlorophyll.
TV keeps people at a certain frequency.
Co-Creating reality through mass consciousness.
Turn off the tv and any kind of things that make you feel negative is a step towards helping humanity – the collective consciousness.
Detoxing so that they can see beyond. I want more people to see what I can see.
This whole thing is being orchestrated.
Steroid chicken is the worst food in Australia. Chicken-only eaters are the most brainwashed, stressed-out, and anxious people.
Dairy industry is corrupt. Grains are contaminated.
Grass-fed butter from New Zealand.
Worst-case scenario from detoxing yourself from fluoride is that you will get your health back and your cells will regenerate. Best-case scenario – you will start seeing beyond the veil.
Highway fumes, chemtrails (or jet fuel), aluminium in the soil, dementia, alzheimers, M.S., autism, vaccines.
Question everything, we're too trusting.
Ramble about rat race keeping people's heads in the sand, keeping people too busy to question.
Why are you dumping toxic waste in the water, and why are you dumping aluminum from the skies.
Too many vaccines for babies.
Dreams again. Hope to meetup with that Camping family again.

Leagues incentives to attract new clubs
League's incentives to attract clubs
A SUFFOLK league is offering financial incentives to attract new teams for next season.
The St Edmundsbury Football League, which was founded in 1907 and so is over 110 years old, is looking for teams to join next season.
To encourage teams to remain in the league and new teams to join, the committee has agreed the following:
Entry to the league will be free for new and existing teams for season 2018-19
The league will also pay the affiliation fees to the Suffolk FA and County Cup(s).
The league will also assist with the insurance needed to affiliate.
The committee hope that with the financial challenges that clubs face, this will encourage new and existing teams to play within the league next season.
For more information, contact league secretary Bill Tinkler on 01284 766077 or via email billtinkler.bdfl@gmail.com
The league's website is www.stedmundsburyfootballleague.co.uk
Suffolk FA Football Development Manager Jodie Allard said: "This is a great example of the proactive and positive approach that the St Edmundsbury League are taking towards supporting their teams to remain within the league next season.
"The league is one of the oldest we have in the area and we hope that this incentive encourages the creation of new teams to join the league, as well as supporting the existing teams to carry on next season."
Bedricks Worth (white shirts) who play in the St Edmundsbury Football League are pictured above in action against Bungay Town A (sky blue shirts) in their 4-2 win in the third round of this season's Suffolk Primary Cup in December.


I noticed the lightning storm behind OCAD's Sharp Centre for Design building while shooting the MMVA last night. Since I didn't have a tripod on me, I took hundreds of handheld shots and captured a few usable shots. This is one of them.
