Georgian College Students Express Anxiety About The 2020 Election
November 3, 2020 by Lola Proctor

With Tuesday's night vote, college students in Georgia are not entirely hopeful former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democratic nominee, will win their home state in the 2020 Presidential Election.
They are even more concerned about the aftermath of the election and what the next four years may bring.
"I'm super nervous about the fact that we have very blatant plans by our president to do things that will steal the election including [state] supreme court motions and trying to throw out votes," said Kate Porterfield, a senior at New York University from Marietta, Georgia.
The stakes for the 2020 national election are high as the country faces resurging cases of COVID-19 and wrestles with critical issues of climate, social justice reform, and economic uncertainty. Speaking to a crowd in Warm Springs, Biden pitched Trump voters directly, asking the crowd to give him a chance to "restore our soul and our country."
Not since 1992 has Georgia gone Democratic, and it's expected to be a tight race with Biden currently at a 1-point lead, according to FiveThirtyEight. In 2016, Trump held a 5.1-point lead, winning the state's electorate. The New York Times/Siena College poll last week also showed Trump and Biden deadlocked at 45% each.
Adam Parhoo, a junior at NYU from Woodstock, Ga., expressed concern over a possible Trump re-election. "Because I live in the area I do, there [are] so many Trump supporters here and I'm like, 'Wait, so maybe he does have a chance,'" he said.
Still the thought of Georgia going Blue was exciting for Parhoo. "Normally, Georgia is super Red, but I've been seeing stuff that it could honestly flip," he said.
Both presidential campaigns have not shied away from spending campaign money on the state proving that they do not consider the state a lost cause. The Biden campaign has $3 million in TV ads booked through the fall in Georgia but has only spent $13,000 so far. Republicans, on the other hand, have spent almost $6 million on ads in an effort to amp up their base, specifically wanting to win back support with suburban women.
One of the reasons Georgia is so contentious is because the state is currently dealing with serious flaws in its administration of elections.
Democrats have alleged voter suppression because of voter purging rolls, and the implementation of an "exact match" law that eliminates ballots with typos. Since the gutting of the Voter Rights Act in 2013, the state's voter rolls have grown by 2 million, but polling locations have been cut by 10%.
The difficulty of voting due to dysfunctional polling machines, missing absentee ballots, limited poll workers, and long lines particularly for Black voters could help aid a Trump win, making young voters in Georgia nervous.
The past mismanagement of the elections caused Porterfield, who votes in Cobb County, one of the nine counties that make up half of the state's active voters, to be concerned about her ballot being counted.
"Since our state is notorious for throwing out votes after our gubernatorial one in 2018, I felt like I was checking my status every couple of days, [and] it took like a month," said Porterfield.
And while the state saw a historic turnout in its June primaries, it also experienced extremely long lines.
Hannah Day, a senior at Georgia Tech from Cobb County, said she witnessed long lines during the early voting period.
"I was surprised at how few locations there were to vote in person early, which I think contributed to the long lines," she said.
And Parhoo said he spoke to a couple while waiting in line to vote who told him they waited "five hours to vote" in the last election.
In addition to the logistical obstacles, cities all over the country are bracing for violence after results are called — and Georgia is no different.
"I am worried about driving into Atlanta on Wednesday," said Day. "I fear that it could get bad."
Porterfield also felt that the "heavier culture of outright conservatism" in Georgia "especially manifesting in open carry laws" made conditions for violence even more likely.
Many are also deeply concerned about the future of their country.
Parhoo hopes that the next president will not use their "power to sow hate and division amongst everyone."
A sentiment shared by Porterfield. "I don't want someone who very openly calls for violence against other civilians," she said. "The bar is so low, like I just want someone who doesn't advocate for killing other citizens."

Herding with your dog is fun! And these herding shirts, posters, mugs and bags are fun too. And since I know that Border Collies aren't the only herding breed, this is not just a Border Collie shop. I herd with my McNab mix, Tsuki, and my shrug dog, Freeway. Several of the herding venues allow or welcome mixed breeds with a herding breed background.
Herding is a unique 3 way relationship: you, the dog and the stock. Here are fun herding images, and arty herding images. Enjoy!
Wouldn't you rather be driving .... the sheep? And that's what is says on these license frames and stickers.
Herding with your dog can be an awesome experience, but it helps to have a sense of humor if you are going to work with dogs.
Herding is a square dance, and you're the caller. The sheep and the dog dance, you direct.
My dog would have been herding champion because .... More would have been silliness for herding humor.
If you aren't the best, try harder, AND laugh about it! Why go home miserable instead of with a smile?
Everyone's dog could be herding champion - if only the drated stock would cooperate.
This is a wonderful scene of a young dog's first meeting with sheep. The dog and the sheep are curious about each other.
A couple of curious sheep meet a working sheep dog.
Herding is Fun. It provides a guided outlet to your dog's natural instincts. Enjoy herding with your dog.
Dog, Sheep -- a pleasant way to spend the day.

With its latest dates ever – two weeks before the Masters – expectations are high as ticket sales begin today for the 2009 Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard.
The API will be played on the week of March 23-29, the same slot on the PGA Tour schedule occupied until two years ago by The Players Championship and last year by a World Golf Championship event. Those tournaments attracted large numbers of highly ranked players from the World Ranking, playing their way to Augusta.
The 2009 Masters will be on the week of April 6-12.
Tournament Director Scott Wellington said: "We have always had one of the best fields of players in the world, according to the World Ranking, including most of the highest-ranked players. But we believe next year we will have more depth of players who previously have not included us on their schedules.
This will be the 31st year of the PGA Tour event which started in 1979 at Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill Club & Lodge in Orlando, Florida. The latest tournament dates previously were March 22-25, 1990, and the earliest dates were February 26-March 1, 1981.
The 2009 API ticket brochure features defending champion Tiger Woods and the theme line for the year: "The Signature of Excitement." – a reminder of Woods and his fistpumping finale in 2008, when he holed a rousing 24-foot putt on the final green to win by one stroke. Woods posted a pair of 66s on the weekend for a 270 total, 10 under par, and his fifth professional victory at Bay Hill.
"No one knows when Tiger will return, but with Tiger here the excitement would be over the top. Regardless, we believe we will have one of our best fields ever," Wellington said. For tickets to the 2009 Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard or for more information, log on to the tournament web site, www.arnoldpalmerinvitational.com or call the ticket office at Bay Hill at 407-876-7774 or toll free at 1-866-764-4843. Tournament proceeds benefit the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and the Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women and Babies.


The Hoffman Murphy Team is known in the South Bay real estate market for many things – including high energy, sincere integrity and client satisfaction – but if asked by their peers, their reputation leans toward their ability to sell homes, and sell them fast. The Hoffman Murphy Team knows the market inside and out, and they are completely honest with their clients when it comes to pricing. Not ones for letting a home sit on the market for weeks and lose value, the Hoffman Murphy Team implements a realistic pricing strategy that works on the basic principal of supply and demand, and generates the highest profit possible into their client's pocket. In doing so, the Hoffman Murphy Team is now a name synonymous with results.
With 50 combined years of Real Estate experience, and over 1600 homes successfully sold, Sue Murphy & Marie Hoffman joined forces in 2005 to create a professional sales experience that sets them apart from the competition. In addition gaining top market dollar for their property, HMT clients can expect world-class service that goes above and beyond the status quo. The team takes pride in their ability to offer a professional experience with a "personal touch." They work to create a relationship that allows them to better understand their client's needs and perspective. "Understanding the client's goals allow us to better focus on what it is that they are trying to achieve, and help them get there," Hoffman says.
Aside from the community praise, The Hoffman Murphy Team stats speak for themselves. With a 100% list to sales price ratio, and an average of less than 15 days on market, their happy client list is long and abundant. Specializing in sales in Redondo and Hermosa Beach, the 7-person team of real estate professionals consistently ranks in the Top 1% of Real Estate Agents in the Nation and as the #1 selling Team at Keller Williams Beach Cities. With their full time listing, marketing and transaction coordinators, all a seller has to do is hand over the key.

By Compiled from wire service reports by Robert Kilborn and Kristen Broman-Worthington
"A major operation," involving the use of oxygen-depleting thermobaric bombs, was in its third day in the mountains of eastern Afghanistan (below), where an estimated 5,000 Taliban and Al Qaeda fighters had regrouped and were resisting a US-led ground assault. At least one American and three Afghan soldiers were killed. It did not appear that the holdouts were trying to protect either Osama bin Laden or deposed Taliban leader Muhamad Omar. (Related story, page 1.)
One of the heaviest weekends of violence in the Middle East in months killed 21 Israelis, among them an entire family leaving religious services in Jerusalem as a Palestinian suicide bomber struck Saturday. That attack and the shooting deaths of 10 people by a Palestinian sniper Sunday followed Israeli raids on two West Bank refugee camps in a search for terrorists and their weapons. (Story, page 6.)
Most of the sectarian violence in India's Gujarat state appeared to be under military control, with no new major incidents reported as the Monitor went to press. But tensions remained high between Hindus and Muslims, and Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee called the clashes "a disgrace to the nation." The number of casualties in the worst such bloodshed in a decade was put at 489 dead by police. (Story, page 7; editorial, page 10.)
Army troops were reported approaching the barricades erected by opposition supporters in Madagascar's capital on the third day of martial law as the Monitor went to press. A spokesman for the general in charge of enforcing the decree said negotiations for the removal of the roadblocks were under way and that there was "no reason for the situation to degenerate."
The 21 men who rammed a bus through a gate of Mexico's embassy in Havana late last week were back in Cuban police custody. But their whereabouts were unknown, and it was not clear what would happen to them. An embassy official denied that the men had sought asylum, claiming their actions were motivated by economic hardship because they are unemployed. They were expelled at the embassy's request Friday.
Based on early nationwide returns, voters in Switzerland appeared to give their consent to full membership in the UN. The "yes" vote was leading by a 55 percent to 45 percent margin. But in the two-pronged referendum Sunday it was less clear whether the issue would win the necessary OK of at least half the country's 23 cantons. At best, that margin was projected to be 12 to 11.

The catalogue, "Be Careful In The Working Radius, was printed alongside the namesake exhibition. This exhibition is the culmination of the most recent work Stephen Hobbs has been making at DKW.

TAXI Art Book Educational Supplement: Diane Victor
This Educational Supplement is published together with TAXI 013 Diane Victor. The importance of Diane Victor's impressive body of drawings and prints lies not simply in its biting social commentary and the sometimes macabre quality of her images, but also in the interplay between the tough and the fragile in her work, between the subject matter of her visual narratives and the delicate mark-making and fragility of her preferred media.
TAXI Art Book Educational Supplement: Paul Stopforth
Paul Stopforth produced several bodies of work that were startling in their courageous engagement with the repressive society in which he lived. The importance of Stopforth's work is that he is an acute observer of the minutiae of everyday life and keenly attuned to the significance of ordinary objects, which he imbues with dignity and careful metaphorical significance.
TAXI Art Book Educational Supplement: Samson Mudzunga
Samson Mudzunga was born in 1938 in Shanzha, Dopeni, in the Nzhelele district of the former Venda "homeland". Although Mudzunga began playing with clay as a child, it wasn't until much later in life that he became a self-sustaining artist, acclaimed for his performance events and for his extraordinary wood carvings, particularly his enormous "coffin drums".
TAXI Art Book Educational Supplement: Willlem Boshoff
In a prolific career spanning more than two decades, Willem Boshoff has produced his own dictionaries, intricately crafted wooden sculptures, installations in sand, and monumental works in stone.

Power words are words that most effectively convey an action or an emotion in order to drum up strong emotional responses. Masterful writers know that when they inject passionate words into prose, blog posts, articles, etc., that they are able to craft a predictable response from readers. Want to rile up some anger for a cause? Use power words. Want to pull on heartstrings? Use power words. Want to bore your readers to death? Avoid power words.
This week on Maine on the Blogs we take a look at 100 words that can effectively change the tone or underscore the emotional drive of your blog post to captivate your readers.
For your blogging convenience we broke up our 100 words into 5 of the most popular blog topic categories here at the Maine blog network. In each category we chose power words that are effective at adding color to your voice, dynamic tension to your text, and interesting visuals for your readers. We also chose examples from some of our great bloggers!
"Friday night in Bangor there's a host of good shows, including Portland alt-folk ensemble the Ghosts of Johnson City (pictured at left) at Nocturnem Drafthaus, Bangor rockers Chamberlain and songwriter James Reiss at Paddy Murphy's, the wildly diverse open mic night at the Central Gallery, and up in Old Town, there's Ragged Jack at Boomhouse.
A power word can be a noun, verb, or adjective. Any word, really, can be a power word if used correctly for the intent behind a power word is to reinforce a feeling or an idea. As a writer you are trying to create and exchange ideas that have the perfect blend of emotions to convince the reader that what you are trying to say is interesting, important, and worth considering.
The next time you find yourself at the keyboard and wondering how to use power words, we hope you'll remember that as long as you infuse passion with your text then your words will indeed carry all the power you will need to effectively communicate with your readers.
For more tips, tutorials, and examples of our fabulous bloggers, we hope you'll drop by and leave us a comment here or on our Facebook Page.

Infrastructure of More Than 33 Settlements Damaged in Russian Strikes Over Past Day
Over the past 24 hours, the Russian occupiers launched 10 missile strikes, 15 airstrikes, and more than 56 MLRS attacks at objects across Ukraine, violating the norms of international humanitarian law, laws and customs of war.
The infrastructure of more than 33 settlements was damaged in Russian strikes over the past day, particularly in Slavhorod, Kramatorsk, Bakhmut, Mayorsk, Vodiane, Dorozhne, Soledar, Novopil, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv, Oleksandrivka, Snihurivka, Nova Odesa, Shyroke, Bilohirsk, Myroliubivka, and Bila Krynytsia.
The so-called "mobilisation" measures are ongoing in the territories temporarily occupied by the ruscists. According to the available information, as of 14 September, the previously issued documents on the postponement of mobilisation for about 500 employees of the Yenakiieve Iron and Steel Works were revoked. In addition, men were banned from leaving the territory of the temporarily occupied Crimea without the permission of the military commissariats.
The enemy continues to take measures to replenish personnel and form reserve units. According to available information, the formation of four rifle battalions is underway at the base of the 36th separate guards motor rifle brigade of the 29th combined arms army of the eastern military district, stationed in the village of Borzya, Trans-Baikal Territory. The officer positions in the mentioned battalions are staffed by teachers of the Far Eastern Higher Military Command School. Earlier the formation of a naval rifle regiment based on the Black Sea Higher Naval School in temporarily occupied Sevastopol was reported. The Russian military leadership continues to pursue the practice of World War II during the formation of these units, which indicates significant problems and miscalculations.
Over the past day, the units of the Defence Forces of Ukraine repelled the Russian attacks near Mayorsk, Vesele, Kurdiumivka, and Novomykhailivka.
Over the past 24 hours, Ukrainian aviation hit 24 enemy manpower and military equipment clusters, four positions of anti-aircraft missile systems, and one ammunition depot.

It is to experience it first hand nothing like a travel to a country. From vertiginous mountain roads leading to the scenic routes through national parks and plateaus the vast expanses. The streets are the circulatory system connecting the cities and towns in a country together.
The list of mountain passes presents a selection of navigable mountain roads in the Tian Shan Mountains, Alay Mountains and the Pamir Mountains. The reach at least a height of 3,000 meters above sea level and located in Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.
Some of the passes are right on the Silk Road and used since the early days until today. The mountain roads of the Tian Shan Mountains, Pamir Mountains and Alay Mountains are the Alpine passes to nothing back. Just a dream for every biker there with his bike through the landscape to glide and to enjoy each of the curves.
For more information about the mountain roads you can contact us any time. An email to info@quad-offroad.com.

Sharing Experiences & Promoting Equality
How to be a good Trans Ally: A Guide for Cisgender People
CaseyBrowne4	Personal Experiences & Thoughts	 January 31, 2019 September 28, 2019 5 Minutes
When you become an ally for all trans people, your actions will help make the world safer for trans people. But what is a trans ally? Generally, an ally is "someone who advocates for and supports members of a community other than their own; reaching across differences to achieve mutual goals" (UC Berkeley's Gender Equity Unit) – so in short, a trans ally is someone who isn't trans, but supports the trans community.
So here are some hopefully helpful tips for being an active trans activist/advocate. But I'm going to assume that you know some of the basics – for instance, saying something like, "You're transgender? But you're so pretty!" is something you should never say because simply put – it is rude. You can also check out GLAAD's Tips For Allies if you want!
Never Out a Trans Person: unfortunately, being out and trans is hard – so that's why it is vital that you never out a trans person without their explicit consent/permission; this is not something that can be done and apologized for. Matt Kaily's Transifesto makes this clear: "If you see a person on the street that you know to be trans, it is a private matter and not appropriate to tell your friends that the person is trans. It is also not appropriate to mention anything that would 'out' a trans person if you are with that person in a public setting." This means that the act of outing any trans person means that they could lose their jobs, their families, or even their bodies. So don't assume that everyone will be OK with someone being trans.
Know Your Trans Terminology: Understand basic trans terminology – so for example, a transgender is assigned a gender at birth that doesn't match the gender they identify with. But this means that it's not sexual attraction – there's a difference between sexual orientation and gender identity – meaning that there are both, for example, gay and straight trans people.
Ask for Pronouns: If you're unsure about what pronouns someone uses – then politely ask how without making a big deal about it. It's better to make sure that the person feels comfortable than make them feel uneasy when you make a mistake (which is fine, everyone makes mistakes! Just don't make a big deal when you do). The activist Tiq Milan told the Huffington Post, "People would respect [the question] more than they would reject it, particularly if you have people, not on the binary." Someone may also have a preference for a pronoun like ze and zir – which would be respectful to use.
Know what's Offensive: words can have a powerful impact; many phrases/words can be harmful towards trans people – so educate yourself. Activist Julia Serano explains, "It is offensive that so many people feel that it is OK to publicly refer to transsexuals as being "pre-op" or "post-op" when it would so clearly be degrading and demeaning to regularly describe all boys and men as being either "circumcised" or "uncircumcised." Trans people will often say they were assigned "(x gender) at birth" (so for example, I would say that I am assigned female at birth) rather than "being born a boy / girl" (so I would say that I wasn't "born a girl") – because my relationship with my body/gender is complicated. Asking invasive questions about hormones or surgeries, and terns such as, "tr**y", "she-male", or saying that someone "used to be a man/woman" are all offensive.
Don't Make Assumptions: Just because someone looks like the gender they've identified with their entire lives, it doesn't mean that they can't be trans. Trans academic Jack Halberstam notes that "There are trans people who are politicians, doctors, lawyers, professors. I think that increasingly people do know trans people, though they may not know it." Additionally, just because you've heard one trans story – it doesn't mean that will be the case for all trans people – never assume that a trans person has been rejected by their families, had a terrible time growing up. On the other hand, never assume that the experience has been easy: basically, there's a huge, varied and diverse range of trans stories.
Keep your curiosity to Yourself: On the Transgender Quotes Tumblr, there was a collection of quotes from trans individuals, there's one about transitioning and how tricky and emotional it is: "Every night before I fall asleep I wish I'll wake up in the right body, as a boy, and that everything was just a dream." With this quote in mind, and while it's pretty normal to be curious about surgery and hormones – resist the temptation. But if they do want to educate you about surgeries and/or hormones, they will, but good allies don't ask. But there are many ways to transition, and the hormone – surgery route isn't for everyone.
Listen: Simply, just listen to what trans people have to say – Jamie-Ann Meyers, a trans woman, and transgender advocate, wrote in the Huffington Post that, "many trans* people often feel invisible or excluded, even in fights that may look as if they include them" – so one of the best way of challenging the norm? Listen to minority groups and what they have to say. However – your trans friend or partner isn't a PSA or "teaching moment" – but their stories and experiences deserve to be heard.
Don't Say "Gender doesn't matter to me": it may seem like the most PC (politically correct) thing that you don't "see gender", and whichever way a trans person identifies in terms of gender, it doesn't matter to you – this will invalidate a trans persons gender identity.
Get Political: Straight For Equality's Guide To Being A Trans* Ally is an in-depth guide for anyone who wants to be a transgender ally and has a whole "spectrum" of all types. The last one? The super ally – who is going to be a postie, political force for change. They recommend that you get educated on the legal challenges facing trans* people (e.g. medical care to being protected against discrimination at work).
Don't ask what a trans person "real name" is: for some trans people, being associated with their deadname can be extremely dysphoria enduing – respect the name that the trans person is using, and don't use the person's deadname.
Be patient with a person who is questioning or exploring their gender. identity: Gender is complicated (trust me), so for someone who is questioning or exploring their gender identity, it will take time for them to figure everything out. For example, they may use a name or pronoun that may work for a while, and then change it (and that's OK!) – but do your best and use the name and pronoun that they ask you.

WestRock Announces Chief Executive Officer Succession: Steven C. Voorhees to Step Down as Chief Executive Officer; Board of Directors Elects David B. Sewell as Successor (Photo: Business Wire)
March 02, 2021 07:00 AM Eastern Standard Time
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--WestRock Company (NYSE:WRK), a leading provider of differentiated paper and packaging solutions, announced today that Steven C. Voorhees has decided to step down from his position as president and chief executive officer and a director of the Company for health reasons, effective March 15, 2021. In addition, the Company's Board of Directors announced that, following a comprehensive search as part of the Company's long-term succession processes, it has elected David B. Sewell to succeed Voorhees as WestRock's president and chief executive officer at that time.

Sewell, age 52, brings with him more than 25 years of commercial, marketing, and general management experience.

Commenting on the appointment of Sewell as WestRock's next CEO, John A. Luke, Jr., chairman of WestRock's Board of Directors, stated, "Our decision to elect David as CEO is the result of a robust succession planning process, and he is the right choice to lead our Company into the future. David is a proven executive with a strong record of driving profitable growth, both organic and acquisitive, and building organizational capability that develops and nurtures excellent leadership and talent while driving a culture of equity and inclusion. The Board and I look forward to working closely with David and WestRock's leadership team as the Company delivers on our strategy and generates strong returns for investors."
"It is an honor to have the opportunity to serve as WestRock's CEO, and I thank the Board for its confidence in me," said Sewell. "I am excited about joining WestRock and look forward to working with this talented leadership team and outstanding organization to build on the Company's strategic success and together realize the opportunities ahead for our customers, team members and stockholders."
"Steve Voorhees has served WestRock with great dedication and distinction since its formation in 2015," said Luke. "Under his leadership, the Company has grown to $17.6 billion in sales through the execution of a growth strategy that has included the merger with MeadWestvaco, several strategic acquisitions and significant capital investments, all positioning WestRock as the leading provider of innovative, fiber-based, sustainable packaging solutions. He has had a lasting impact on our business strategy and the development of our values-driven culture. As a leader, and as a person, Steve is admired by the entire WestRock team, and the Board wishes him and his family the very best."
"It has been an honor to lead and to serve with such an incredible team of people," said Voorhees. "Thanks to the hard work and dedication of a team that is second to none, WestRock is better positioned than ever to support its customers and achieve its goals, and I am proud to have been part of what we have built together. I am happy and comfortable to be leaving WestRock in good capable hands. I look forward to addressing my immediate health needs and investing more time with my family and personal interests.

Our hometown Philadelphia Eagles are going back to the Super Bowl, a game that's known just as much for its advertising as its athletics.
Super Bowl ads average about $5 million per 30 seconds this year, which to most people seems insane. Is it worth it?
It's a tough question, because marketing effectiveness is surprisingly hard to measure, despite what some less-scrupulous agencies might tell you. We often see marketers say things like, "We ran this campaign, and sales increased," but anyone with even a basic understanding of causation vs. correlation knows that's misleading.
Furthermore, people don't like to believe, or don't even know, that they're swayed by marketing. You can't just ask people and expect reliable answers.
In 2016, researchers found a brilliant way to determine if advertising actually does anything. They used the Super Bowl as a natural experiment.
First, because viewership increases about 20 percent in the host city and cities whose home teams are playing, they hypothesized that increased sales in those cities could be attributed to Super Bowl ads.
Second, because movie releases are unique, one-time events, they could better isolate the effects of particular ads on ticket sales, as opposed to sales of products like Pepsi, which could be attributed to all kinds of other promotions.
Third, to further eliminate other variables, they used Google search data to control for any prior awareness and interest.
What did they find? For every $3 million spent on advertising, movies saw an $8.4 million increase in ticket sales.
Long story short: marketing is often hard to measure scientifically, but don't just assume that means it's ineffective. In fact, it could easily be the opposite case – it may actually be far more effective than you even imagine.

Reading diary, #9
Yet more books read, and this time they seem to be mostly genre. Including a – kof kof – fantasy novel. And even a horror novel. If I keep this up I'll have to give back my science fiction curmudgeon badge.
The Thousand Emperors, Gary Gibson (2012). This is a sequel to 2011's Final Days, in which humanity has spread out across a number of exoplanets after losing the Earth to an artefact brought back through the wormhole network they had been exploring. But all that – an alien network of wormhole tunnels created billions of years earlier by an unknown race (an idea last seen in Williams & Dix's Geodesica: Ascent and Geodesica: Descent a decade ago, not to mention Alastair Reynolds' The Six Directions of Space from 2009) is pretty much just background in Gibson's novel. It's more about one of the two human interstellar polities which has formed in the wake of Final Days' events. The Tian Di was founded in revolution, and the revolutionary council grew until it numbered one thousand – hence the title – but now power is pretty much concentrated in the hands of Father Chang, the council leader (after a coup a century or two previously), and the council members are just a hugely powerful elite, sort of a cross between the One Percent and Saudi princes. They even have their own secret planet, where they maintain luxurious estates untainted by proximity to the unwashed masses. When a council member is murdered on that secret world, Luc Gabion is asked to investigate, and though he's pretty sure he's not supposed to solve the crime, he does learn a lot more about politics inside the council – which at that point is concerned chiefly with the Tian Di's possible response to diplomatic approaches from the other human polity, the Coalition, after more than a century of isolation – and it all ties into a move to make the Tian Di even more repressive a regime than it currently is. This is heartland sf, full of well-polished tropes deployed with assurance. If it all feels a bit disposable, it's not because it's not done well but perhaps because it's done a bit too well: familiar ideas given an interesting spin, prejudices given a little tweak just so readers are reminded they have them, and a plot which gallops forward at a pace that discourages too much close scrutiny.
Breed, KT Davies (2014). I was fortunate enough to win two of Davies's novels – this and The Red Knight – at the last York pub meet, at which Davies read from Breed. The novel is a fairly standard fantasy – while certainly not epic, its setting is plainly of that subgenre – but enlivened by an assured comedic touch, some nice pieces of invention, and a clever use of first person that doesn't reveal the gender of the narrator. The book opens with a prologue – argh – it could just have easily been the first chapter – in which the narrator escapes imprisonment in an ancient demon's castle but comes a cropper on learning they had been tricked. Back home in Appleton, where Breed's mother runs one of the local criminal gangs, Breed is sentenced to five years of bonded servitude for a one-handed wizard after getting caught up in a riot following Breed's attempt to assassinate the leader of a rival gang. The wizard wants to head for the capital, which is fine as that's where Breed needs to go in order to fulfil their bargain with the demon of the prologue. Adventures ensue. The characters are all venal, the world is dirty and grim and has never really recovered from a catacylsmic war centuries before, and Breed is an amusingly foul-mouthed narrator. The plot may run on well-polished rails but it does so like clockwork, sort of like a toy train then… but Breed is never less than a fun read, and if grim-but-funny – grimlight? – fantasy is your thing you could do a lot worse than this.
Run Like Crazy Run Like Hell, Jacques Tardi (2015). Tardi's bande dessinée are more often mainstream thrillers than genre, and it makes for a pleasant change from your typical Anglophone graphic novel. A young woman from an institution is hired by a wealthy and philanthropic industrialist to be the nanny for his nephew. The industrialist inherited the wealth, and care of the boy, when his brother and sister-in-law died in a car crash. Shortly after taking up her duties, while the uncle is away on business, the boy and nanny are kidnapped by a dyspeptic hitman and his dim henchmen. But the two manage to escape, and head across France to the eccentric retreat of the industrialist, where they hope to find sanctuary. En route, the nanny proves more than a match for the henchmen, and then the hitman. This is a pretty gruesome story, and Tardi's art doesn't shrink from the gore. It's not the cartoon violence you'd seen in some superhero comic, but more like that of an 18-certificate brutal thriller. Good, though. I shall continue to buy these for as long as Tardi and Fantagraphics churn them out.
The Lady of Situations, Stephen Dedman (1999). I forget where I first came across mention of Dedman, but back in 2002 I read his 1999 novel Foreign Bodies, and thought it pretty good. But quality Australian genre fiction, especially that published by small presses, is not easy to get hold of in the UK, and I seem to recall buying The Lady of Situations when I bought Justina Robson's collection Heliotrope from Ticonderoga Press (who are definitely worth checking out as they publish some excellent books). Anyway, provenance aside, this is a strong collection. Several of the stories concern a man who has been befriended by vampires, particularly one that looks like a young girl. I'm no fan of vampire stories, but these are handled well – especially the one about Lewis Carroll and Alice Liddell. 'Transit' is probably the most sfnal story, a young love tale set on a world of hermaphrodites during the visit of some Muslims en route to Earth on Hajj. 'Amendment' is fun, an alternate history set at a sf con where Charles Manson turns up to get a book signed by GoH Heinlein. 'Founding Fathers' is a nasty story, about a world settled by a small colony of white supremacists, and a visit by a mission from Earth causes a couple of murders and reveals the horrible secret at the heart of the colony. There are a couple of slight pieces here, but the rest more than make up for them. Recommended.
The Zanzibar Cat, Joanna Russ (1983) was Russ's first collection, published first by Arkham House and then by, of all publishers, Baen. A more variable collection than I'd been expecting, perhaps because it contained so many of her early stories. I reviewed it for SF Mistressworks here.
No Time on Our Side, Roger Chapman (1975). In 1973, some 240 km south of Ireland, while engaged in burying an undersea cable to prevent it being caught by trawlers' nets, the submersible Pisces III sank in 500 metres of water. The crew of two had just completed their shift, but when surfacing in rough seas, the hatch on the rear pressure sphere (which contained machinery and supplies) broke open and filled the sphere with water. The submersible promptly sank tail-first and ended up stuck vertically in the ocean bottom (just like in the cover art). A full-scale rescue operation began. But first they had to find Pisces III. Chapman was one of the two crew, and No Time on Our Side is a blow-by-blow account of the three days he spent trapped in the submersible. Thanks to the dwindling air supply and increasing carbon dioxide, he was not wholly compos mentis for much of the period, so portions of the book skip over a lot of the hours spent on the bottom. Everything seems a bit slapdash to modern eyes – the submersible crew barely managed a couple of hours sleep each night due to things repeatedly failing and needing fixing before each dive – but once disaster strikes, the response is quick and widespread (and, it seems, happily inconsiderate of cost… which I suspect is not something that would happen in today's neoliberal uber-capitalist global economy; progress, eh).
Luminous, Greg Egan (1998). Egan is one of those authors whose fiction I'm repeatedly told I'd like, but everything by him I've read in the past has left me a little bit cold – which is one novel, and a handful of stories in Interzone over the years. Nevertheless, if I see one of his books going cheap in a charity shop, I buy it. And even now, when perhaps my taste in fiction is somewhat more discriminating and I look for different things in the fiction I read than I did twenty or thirty years ago… Egan's fiction still leaves me mostly cold. There were a couple of good stories in this collection – I especially liked 'Silver Fire', about a epidemic in the US; and 'Our Lady of Chernobyl' had some narrative impetus to it, even if the central conceit was weak – but many still felt cold to me, peopled by little more than walking, talking ideas. And 'The Planck Dive' is just a really dull physics lectures with a bunch of character interactions to provide something for the reader to connect with. Interestingly, although most of the stories in Luminous were written in the mid-1990s, they're chiefly set in this decade, the second of the twenty-first century. Egan got one or two things right, but he also got a lot wrong – and yet he still manages to catch the flavour of now better than many other sf authors of the time who wrote stories set in the early twenty-first century. I'll still keep my eye open for Egan books in charity shops, but I doubt I'll ever be able to call myself a fan.
The Three, Sarah Lotz (2014). I took this with me to Finland – did I mention I went to Archipelacon in the Åland Islands in Finland, and it was excellent? – anyway, I took The Three with me to read during the convention. I had no intention of reading it during the journey – for that I had DH Lawrence's The Rainbow – but I started it shortly after I arrived in Mariehamn, and had finished it by the Sunday so I left it on a table for someone else to, er, enjoy. The central premise is, well, pretty much the same as James Herbert's The Survivor (an awful book, but actually quite a good film). Four planes crash within minutes of each other around the world – in Japan, the US, the English Channel, and South Africa – and a child is the only survivor in three of the crashes. No one survives the fourth. An enigmatic phone call by an American passenger on the plane in Japan, shortly before she succumbs to her injuries, prompts a US evangelist to declare the three children the, er, Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Um, yes. He claims there's a child who survived the fourth crash, and various hints suggest this may be true, but… Why? Why base the plot on the Four Horseman but only have three of them? It makes no sense. The kids are certainly not ordinary and who, or what, they are is never categorically stated. The novel is also presented as found documents, the research materials of a journalist writing a book on the whole affair. Lotz handles her voices impressively well, and for commercial fiction this is a well put-together piece of work. But the premise is weak and over-stays its welcome by a couple of hundred pages. Oh, and definitely don't read this book when travelling by air…

For every one I read, two more appear
I have actually been very good this year. So far, at least. The TBR has been decreasing. Sadly, this is not not because I'm reading more – unfortunately, I seem to be actually reading less. But I have been buying fewer books. And I've also given away loads of unread books – that I was never going to get around to reading – at the BFS/BSFA York pub meets and SFSF Socials.
Having said all that, I can't not buy books for an entire year. Especially when there are ones by authors whose works I like that are being published, or when books I've been looking for pop up on eBay for a reasonable price, or when there are sets to be completed.
But at least I'm starting to take control of the collection. I think.
Some fantasy. Which I don't read all that much, but never mind. Breed and The Red Knight I won in the raffle at the York pub meet last weekend. Which was cool as Karen was one of the authors giving a reading. (Usually, I never win anything decent in raffles.) The Glittering Plain is the first book in Newcastle Forgotten Fantasy Library series, which looks like it might make a good series to collect. And Beautiful Blood is Lucius Shepard's last book for Subterranean Press. It's a novel set in the world of the Dragon Griaule.
Some science fiction. I found a dozen or so of the Tor doubles in a remaindered book shop in Abu Dhabi when I lived there, and I've been picking up others in the series whenever I find them, such as The Longest Voyage / Slow Lightning. They published 36 books in total, and most of them aren't that good. Meh. The Carhullan Army I bought in Oxfam while in York for the aforementioned pub meet. Dark Orbit I'm reviewing for Interzone. I'm a fan of Gilman's fiction, but I'm still trying to figure out what I think to this one.
Some mainstream. About Love and Other Stories and Five Plays I bought late one night after a bit too much wine and having watched Aleksandr Sokurov's Stone, which is apparently about Chekhov. These things happen. I read Farrell's The Siege Of Krishnapur a couple of years ago and was much impressed, so I keep an eye open in charity shops for his books. A Girl in the Head I bought in the aforementioned Oxfam shop. Bit of a dodgy cover, though. The Rainbow is one for the DH Lawrence collection. My mother found me this copy. I now have eighteen Lawrence paperbacks with that particular cover design.
And speaking of Sokurov… The Cinema of Alexander Sokurov and The Cinema of Alexander Sokurov: Figures of Paradox are the only two books on the director I can find. Annoyingly, both discuss both The Lonely Voice of Man, Days of Eclipse and Taurus, three films which have never been released on DVD with English subtitles. Otherwise, very interesting books on a fascinating director.

Health and social care are steadfastly becoming an important factor in the society, especially for the senior citizens and hospitalized patients. One of the most important activities that have been prevalent is the infection control in health and social care. In this post, we are going to look at the guidelines for effective infection control in both social and healthcare systems.
Both health and community social workers are required to use protective equipment whenever they are handling potentially contaminant activities. The equipment used should be in a position to put off the risk of transmission of microorganisms and risk of contamination of the skin and clothing of the worker. According to the health care guidelines, gloves should be worn at all times regardless of the activity or procedure performed.
Handling of used equipment should always be kept at minimum. This especially applies to sharp equipment like needles and razors. Needles should not be bent, recapped or broken before they are disposed of. The container for such equipment must conform with the set current standards, and they must be disposed of immediately by the person in charge. Also, the disposal containers must be located in a safe and visible location. Such containers should be away from public access places and out of reach of children.
Social and health care workers are required to have disposal materials that meet the set current standards. The waste should be isolated immediately into appropriate color-coded storage equipment. The waste should be sorted out and labeled based on physical and chemical properties. The waste should then be transported and disposed of based on the set national waste disposal guidelines. The workers are required to educate the patients and the general public on proper waste handling and disposal techniques.
procedures. The hands must be decontaminated after exposure to the body fluids and immediately after any activity that could result in hands becoming contaminated.
The measures stated above are geared towards achieving effective infection control in health and social care in the society. These guidelines are provided and certified by the local authorities in charge of disease prevention and control. To receive effective care and infection control, these guidelines must part of everyday practice for health and social care workers.

We will go into detail of every step. Our goal is Realism! Many tips and tricks to make this very important process of Special FX Makeup much easier to do. What products to use, different material prosthetics can be made out of, different paints to use, etc.
Michel is the owner and operator of ON SCENE FX - Ottawa's Leading Special FX Makeup Company! I have dedicated a lot of time, effort and self study to this craft. I feel I am aways learning. We produce "Hollywood Grade" prosthetic work, theatrical makeup, mold building, props and much more. I feel it is within everyones reach to learn and do well in Special FX Makeup. It is not through one course that you will become a Special FX Makeup Artist but it sure makes that path easier. You can be doing it for fun, halloween, cosplay or even a potential career. If it is the latter, the course offers a affordable way of deciding weather that is something the student trully wants to persue. I feel the course brings a lot to the table and it focuses on "TRUE SFXM", not just body painting or theatrical makeup (Beautiful art forms in their own right).


Pro-abortion President Barack Obama's administration may have skirted parental consent laws by taking teen girls out of state for secret abortions, a federal court document reveals.
Margot Cleveland, a lawyer and writer for The Federalist, found evidence of this buried in a federal court decision last week. The case involved the American Civil Liberties Union challenging the government for giving grants to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops to shelter illegal immigrants and human trafficking victims.
The court's ruling revealed that the Obama administration may have transported pregnant minors in federal custody to states where there are no parental consent laws for abortions.
The court noted it is not clear if Maria had an abortion while in federal custody, but the emails suggest that other young girls did.
New Mexico is one of 13 states that does not have a parental involvement law. Most states require a girl under age 18 to notify or receive permission from at least one parent before aborting an unborn baby. However, abortion activists often help girls skirt these laws through judicial bypass, a provision that allows girls to ask a judge for permission instead of her parents.
It appears the Obama administration did, too — though, Cleveland pointed out, they did not have a good reason for it.
Parental notification/parental consent laws have strong public support. Currently, 37 states require some type of parental involvement in a minor's abortion, according to the Guttmacher Institute.
However, Planned Parenthood, NARAL and other pro-abortion groups often lobby against parental involvement laws. They believe underage girls should be able to abort their unborn babies in a dangerous surgical or drug-induced abortion procedure without their parents' knowledge or consent.
In 2017, the ACLU and Planned Parenthood filed a lawsuit challenging Indiana's parental consent law. In 2013, Planned Parenthood filed a similar lawsuit in Montana to overturn its parental involvement requirements.
Abortion activists frequently help teens bypass these protective measures. In 2013, the National Right to Life Committee found in one state in a period of 4 1/2 years, there were 3,573 judicial petitions to bypass parents and only nine were denied.
Parents are, for the most part, not given the opportunity to consent, they are not given the opportunity to be consulted, they are totally bypassed. Their minor daughter is given a secret abortion and they are then left in the dark trying to pick up the pieces of their injured daughter's life not knowing where to begin. The abortion industry masterfully manipulates this judicial bypass loophole by getting their own attorneys appointed by the court to shepherd pregnant minors through the intimidating judicial system and the abortion is performed before anyone can take a breath.

Guy Fieri has Created a Special Snack for the Field of Dreams Game
Courtlin Published: August 10, 2021
What do you get when you combine two of the most popular American foods? A new delicious-looking snack courtesy of Guy Fieri!
The big Field of Dreams game in Dyersville is coming up this week, and baseball fans across the country will all have their eyes on Iowa. This is the first MLB game to take place in Iowa, and it's gearing up to be quite the event. Fox has all sorts of fun planned for the live broadcast (which you can read more about HERE), but lucky fans who actually attend the game are in for a special treat!
According to an article from the NY Post, legendary chef Guy Fieri has come up with an unique new food combination that will be served to fans during Thursday night's game. It's called the "Apple Pie Hot Dog." The article reads:
"An unlikely marriage of two good ol' American favorites, it's a starting lineup of one juicy beef hot dog smothered in Fieri's own bacon jam, 'enveloped' in flaky pie crust and then topped with an apple mustard drizzle, demerara sugar and apple pie spice."
Guy actually posted a video of himself making the treat, which was created as part of his new partnership with Chevrolet. That way, if you're not going to be attending the big game, you could just attempt to make it yourself! You can check out the video with the official recipe below:
What do you think? Does the Apple Pie Hot Dog sound good? Or just plain gross? Let us know in the comments!

Macao Week in Chongqing shows products of lusophone world
Goods from Portuguese-speaking parts of the world are on display in two of the booths at a roadshow that has reached the southwestern Chinese city of Chongqing, according to the Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute, or IPIM.
The roadshow, in Jiefangbei Square, is a manifestation of Macao Week in Chongqing, which began yesterday and will last for five days, the institute announced in writing on Wednesday.
The products of lusophone countries on show are handicrafts, wine and other alcoholic drinks, coffee and food, some of it canned, IPIM says.
Another aspect of Macao Week in Chongqing is a presentation by IPIM and the Chongqing Municipal Commission of Commerce to tell businesspeople in the city about the environments for investment in lusophone countries and the advantages of doing business in them, the institute says.


This light and fluffy scone were inspired by belvoirfruitfarm.co.uk. It was caught my eyes when I saw it. I knew this is the one I'm looking for a long time ago.
If you ask me how's my feeling? Honestly, I am so nervous and excited! If you have been with my last post, you can catch what I mean. Yes, today is my big day to see the moment of truth. Today is the day I'll test my activated and bubbly wild yeast to my bread.
Most of the People talking about 'World Cup Football' in this two weeks. Even the Wimbledon Tennis tournament was inferior when the football was on.
Because of this heatwave,, I like to do something different from those hot subject, that's is homemade wild yeast. Maybe it wasn't an easy task, But I like to have a new batch again.

Beginning January 2019, The Art Gallery of SnoValley is now the home of a unique artists' lending library with books, magazines and DVD's available to borrow.
We all have them, stacks and stacks of expensive books - how to's, art history, and biographies about the masters. They collect dust; we feel guilty for not fully utilizing them and they never see the light of day. With that notion in mind, we have a solution: visit the gallery, check out a book for a while, be inspired and bring it back. Maybe you have books to loan as well; share them if you like.
Who knows what creativity might be unleashed. Books are magical, but only if they get used!!
Stop by to check out the current offerings in the library and borrow a book, magazine or video now.
