Bishop Arts Neighborhood Took North Oak Cliff Full Circle
by Deb R. Brimer
The Bishop Arts District has a long and colorful history, some of which is still reflected in murals throughout the area. (Photo: Wikipedia Commons)
What a difference a century makes. Generations of real estate developers have banked on converting North Oak Cliff's stunning countryside into the most affluent residential area of Dallas. After all, nothing said success more than a sweeping three-story Queen Anne mansion on a hill surrounded by limestone cliffs, natural springs, and lush native greenery.
In 1887, partners Thomas Marsalis and John Armstrong purchased 2,000 acres that were platted Dallas Land and Loan Additions #1, #2, and #3. Located on the western bank of the Trinity River, Marsalis and Armstrong planned the addition as the residential neighborhood for the incorporated city of Oak Cliff. Due to brisk land sales and hundreds of new Victorian homes, the population skyrocketed to 2,500 residents by 1890.

Architectural Tour Features Charles Dilbeck Library Of Quirk In Cochran Heights

When I began working with Dilbeck connoisseurs Willis Winters and Jann Patterson Mackey on house selection for Preservation Dallas' October 27th Fall Architectural Tour – Charles Dilbeck In Dallas, they stressed the need for us to feature a Cochran Heights home. The neighborhood recently received a Texas Historical Commission marker recognizing it as a significant part of Texas history, based upon the numerous Dilbeck designed houses in the neighborhood.
The entire neighborhood is fun and peculiar to immerse in, and the house we focused on is a super intact library of Dilbeck's quirk. So much so that the house still has the 1936 kitchen and bathroom! While it may be the tour's most modest Dilbeck house, it delivers a powerful punch. The current stewards have taken incredible care of this little gem as only the third owners, and I can hear the cameras clicking away to capture all the surprising details.

Jaw-Dropping Renovated Craftsman In Junius Heights For $549K
by Amy Puchaty
725 Lowell Street Dallas, TX is currently listed by Brent Germany with Keller Williams Realty Plano for $549,000. Open House, Saturday, September 1st from 1-4pm.
Is there anything more charming than a home straight out of time but with all the modern luxuries we love? This gorgeous four-bedroom, three-full-bathroom Craftsman is located in the coveted Junius Heights historic district, with prime placement near the heart of Dallas.
For those of you who need a refresher on Junius Heights, the neighborhood was developed by C. H. Munger and is described as "the greatest lot sale in the history of Dallas" with 200 lots reportedly sold between 12:01 a.m. and 12:45 a.m. on September 3, 1906.
According to the Junius Heights Historic District, "Advertisements of the day promised that Junius Heights would become the choicest residential section of Dallas. The neighborhood was well known by its large columns on Abrams and was served by the Junius Heights streetcar line until streetcar service was discontinued."
Today it is home to the largest collection of Arts and Crafts/Craftsman homes in the southwest, and our Friday Five Hundred is one of its gems! Maintaining all its glorious 1915 architecture, but with top-to-bottom upgraded interiors, 725 Lowell Street is a rare find and could be yours for just $549,000. Let's take a closer look shall we?

Eagle Ford School, Attended by The Infamous Bonnie Parker, is One Step Closer to Landmark Status
Eagle Ford Elementary School. Source: Google Maps
On Monday, preservationists launched the process of designating the Eagle Ford School building as a historic landmark. If you've driven down Chalk Hill Road just south of Interstate 30, you may have wondered about the rather small, oddly out-of-place concrete building, brightly colored with lavish details at the entry. Above the front entrance is inscribed "Eagle Ford District 49."
The almost-forgotten Gothic revival building at 1601 Chalk Hill Road was at risk of being demolished. The road was recently closed due to construction, but neighborhood historic groups had been talking to the owner for years about plans for the building.
From 1916 through 1963, the school served the many immigrant families living in Cement City, Arcadia Park, and other nearby neighborhoods.
Bonnie Parker, of the infamous Bonnie and Clyde, is the most well-known attendant of the Eagle Ford elementary school — her report card was found in its basement.

Nominate Outstanding Historic Preservation Projects for 17th Annual Dallas Awards

When you drive or walk down Swiss Avenue in Dallas, it's hard to believe that this area full of stately, handsome homes was dilapidated just 40 years ago. Cars were jacked up on properties and screens hung off windows, with the many mansions in total disrepair or abandoned.
This was just before the creation of the Swiss Avenue Historic District in 1973. It was the first of its kind and a trailblazing event that paved the way for future preservation projects around Dallas.

Making Fair Park Work: Dallas Architecture Forum Panel Addresses Historic Amenity
Photo: lhilyer_libr via Creative Commons
One of the architectural gems in Dallas is Fair Park, a 277-acre recreational and educational complex southeast of downtown Dallas. It is home to many George Dahl-designed Art Deco buildings constructed for the Texas Centennial Exposition in 1936, and is registered as a Dallas Landmark and National Historic Landmark.
Mark Lamster
But this park, home to the Texas State Fair each fall, is underperforming the rest of the year.
The next Dallas Architecture Forum event will address "Making Fair Park Work," a panel discussion moderated by Dallas Morning News architecture critic Mark Lamster, who is also a professor in the College of Architecture Planning and Public Affairs (CAPPA) at the University of Texas at Arlington.
The main question will be, "how can Dallas transform Fair Park into a year-round destination and economic engine for its South Dallas area?" The city is now faced with several options for its redevelopment, and must choose the best path forward.
"The Dallas Architecture Forum is pleased to present this next panel in its 2015-16 series of thought-provoking panel discussions on topics impacting the citizens of Dallas both locally and globally," said forum executive director Nate Eudaly. "Moderator Mark Lamster will be joined by a panel of well-respected community leaders to discuss this extremely important topic. The result will be engaging and thought-provoking discussions for our attendees."

Tired of Teardowns, Preservationists Form Fund to Buy Up Historic Properties at Risk
by Joanna England
The stately home at 4901 Live Oak was torn down by investors last year. Noted preservationist Virginia McAlester has put together a fund that will keep properties like this one from being razed.
Back in the 1970s, Munger Heights was a seedy neighborhood full of rent-by-the-room boarding houses and dilapidated old homes desperate to be shored up should they catch a stiff breeze. Homeowners and activists saw the area for what it was — full of potential — and created a revolving fund to buy the homes at risk of being lost to a wrecking ball so they could be restored to their historic beauty.
After watching perfectly useful historic homes and buildings being torn down one after the other, Virginia McAlester, Jim Rogers, Lisa Marie Gala, and Neil Emmons said that enough was enough. Together they founded the Dallas Endowment for Endangered Properties (DEEP) fund.

"Chopin. Again," he thought to himself, listening in the night as the woman in 9A practiced piano. She always fumbled at the same place.
He had seen her in the hallway. A hurried cloud of ennui, she never seemed happy. He wondered when the tsunami had hit and left her so. He imagined a day job where she played the part of a happy young person full of promise and youthful energy. Or whether she was so outrageously happy somewhere else in her life she had no more to share elsewhere.
He wondered if her time at the keyboard made her smile. The smile she purposefully hid from everyone else.
He always hoped for her. Always hoped.
He lay in dark and counted how many times she tried, like some might try counting sheep. He listened patiently until the splattered chord of desperation ended the recital.
"One day, darling, one day. And it will be glorious!", he thought, drifting off to sleep.

Kammara Sambhavam will be a never before seen cinematic experience for Malayali audience: Murali Gopy
The much hyped Kammara Sambhavam is all set for release on Vishu day (April 14). The movie starring Dileep and Siddharth in the lead roles is gearing up for release amidst tremendous hype created by the teaser and the posters. Murali Gopy has scripted the movie which marks the directorial debut of ad filmmaker Rathish Ambat. This epic film set in three different timelines focuses on historical accounts and how it is depicted by the ones who wrote it.
Murali Gopy, the writer has assured that Kammara Sambhavam will be a never-before-seen cinematic experience for the Malayali audience. According to him, the movie is a mix genre attempt that touches on fiction, period elements, satire and black humour. It is made on a massive scale with high production values and a huge star cast.
Dileep is said to have given his career best for the role of Kammaran Nambiar. Sporting three different looks, including a 90-year-old one, Kammaran is the most challenging role that the actor has done in his two decade long career. Along with him there is the highly talented Siddharth making his Malayalam debut. For his role of Othenan Nambiar, Siddharth took the extra effort of learning the language and dubbed all by himself.
Namita Pramod, Bobby Simha, Shwetha Menon, Siddique, Vijayaraghavan, Indrans and Siddique are also part of the movie. All this makes Kammara Sambhavam an exciting film to watch out for. The movie is certain to take a big opening at the box office as the holiday season has already begun.
Gokulam Gopalan is producing Kammara Sambhavam under the banner of Sree Gokulam Movies.

Slated for a March 8, 2014 release date through W.T.C. Productions, Norway's black metal outfit Tortorum will be back with their sophomore release, "Katabasis." Tortorum arranged a very nice debut effort, "Extinctionist," in 2012, so their follow-up with be highly anticipated and scrutinized by black metal fans. "Katabasis" will wash any worries away after listening to the first few songs.
With nine songs varying in length from 5 to 10 minutes each with the majority falling in the 5 to 6 minute range, Tortorum offers plenty for the listener to get excited about. Whether you listen to melodic tales such as Severance and Perseverance, Open Wide the Gates of Chaos and Attributions to the Dead or if you prefer the dark, evil sounds of songs like In Nameless NonBeing and As the Light Falls to Slaughter with its addicting final 2 minutes, you are sure to find plenty to enjoy about their latest effort.
"Katabasis" opens with Descensus, which gets right down to business and shows the progressive evolution of the band in the last two years. Its neoclassical-inspired piano introduction is the perfect setup for the remainder of the album. Once The Great Appetence begins, the icy black metal riffs that we are longing for are thrown at the listener.
While the album's tracks are distinct with their twists and turns, the one constant is the great interplay between guitarists Skyggen and Specter and the way that they play off of each other. The other constant is the strong vocals from The Barghest, whether they be screams or shrieks of terror, they are always well done and well placed.
"Katabasis" is a wonderfull return for Tortorum and for the entire black metal genre. With heavy influences from classic black metal bands such as Mayhem and Darkthrone scattered throughout their sound, Tortorum is a band that needs to be part of your playlist.

Dujon Henriques Sterling (born 24 October 1999) is an English footballer who plays as a right-back for Stoke City on loan from Chelsea.

Club career

Chelsea
Sterling joined Chelsea in 2007 at under-8 level and made his under-19 debut in a UEFA Youth League fixture against Sporting CP in December 2014. Although, recently Sterling has been deployed as a wing-back, he has also been played as a winger or centre-forward and impressed during Chelsea's 2015–16 FA Youth Cup campaign, netting in both the semi-final and final. Following an impressive campaign, Sterling was promoted to the U23 squad for the 2016–17 season as a 16-year-old and became a key figure, featuring twenty-four times and scoring four goals. In October 2016, Sterling signed his first professional contract upon his 17th birthday.

On 20 September 2017, Sterling made his Chelsea debut during their EFL Cup third round tie against Nottingham Forest, replacing Davide Zappacosta for the final 14 minutes of the 5–1 victory at Stamford Bridge.

Loan to Coventry City
On 27 June 2018, it was agreed that Sterling would join newly promoted League One side Coventry City on a season-long loan.

Loan to Wigan Athletic
On 1 August 2019, Sterling joined Championship side Wigan Athletic on a season-long loan deal.

Loan to Blackpool
On 31 August 2021, Sterling returned to the Championship with Blackpool on a season-long loan deal after he signed a two-year contract extension with Chelsea. He competed with Jordan Gabriel for the right-back berth, covered at left-back when injuries dictated, and made up part of a back three on occasion. He made 25 appearances for Blackpool in all competitions.

He damaged his ankle ligaments in a match in early April 2022 and returned to Chelsea for treatment. His loan was kept active, however. At the end of the season, he posted on Twitter: "Big thanks to all the players, gaffer, coaches and staff for making my time at the club so positive." Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel was reportedly impressed with Sterling's season, and informed him to prepare for the pre-season schedule.

Loan to Stoke City
On 1 September 2022, Sterling joined Stoke City on loan for the 2022–23 season.

International career
Sterling was born in England to Jamaican parents. Sterling has represented England from under-16 to under-20 level. He represented England Under-17 at the 2016 U-17 Euros and was included in the team of the tournament.

In September 2016, Sterling made his debut for the England Under-19 team in a 1–1 draw against the Netherlands. In June 2017 he was selected to represent England at the 2017 UEFA European Under-19 Championship. Despite Sterling scoring an own goal, England went on to defeat Portugal 2–1 in the final. He was subsequently named in the team of the tournament.

We booked a 2 days & 2 nights safari in Selous, Lake Manze camp, superb African Experience with Afric'Aventure, great personal service, 'sur mesure'. From start to finish the service by Afric'Aventure was great. We booked quite late, and still Afric'Aventure managed to arrange and adapt the trips to our wishes. We recommend Afric'Aventure for their personal and friendly approach, quick response and excellent quality in the companies they work with.
The Lake Manze camp in Selous is a top location with elephants, giraffes, impalas, bush babies, hippos everywhere around. Their service and food are also great! The approach is very professional and communication is very clear.
We will remember the group dinner outside with the camp fires, the luxurious tents, the very professional safari guides and drivers, who really try (and succeed) to deliver the best experience possible: lunch at the lake (15 meters away from the hippo's), an extra tour to a group of lions who just caught a wildebeest / gnu, a swim in a hot water source. We also recommend the boat safari, which gives you an experience from another perspective then by safari car!
From the landing in Zanzibar up to the flight back, all went perfect: the welcome at the airport by our guide for Stonetown Godefrey (or 'G') and at the hotel (by the lovely Anastacia and her colleagues) were perfect. We were upgraded to the honeymoon suite in this small scale hotel and spent 3 perfect days there: their food and service is excellent, they offer a lot of activities and the beach is beautiful.
We'll start saving for the next trip!

A clean eating chicken fried rice meal prep recipe for weight loss. This low carb take on fried rice is so quick and easy it's one of the perfect meal prep recipes for beginners to make for the week. Plus, each serving has LESS THAN 300 CALORIES!
Weigh-out your chicken before cooking it if you're trying to keep track of the calories in your meal prep ... and be sure to enter the value as "uncooked" in MyFItnessPal etc.
At this point, you can also add 3 Tbsps of soy sauce.
Take your food scale back out, add a large bowl to it (tare the scale to zero), add you fried rice to the bowl along with 1 tbsp of sesame oil, and whatever the amount is in grams on the scale is what you'll want to divide by. For instance, If you want to only make 4 meal preps out of this, you'd divide the number on the scale by 4, and then add that amount of fried rice to each meal prep container. So, say you have 1000g of fried rice you'd divide that up into 4 containers, and each meal prep container would have 250g of chicken fried rice.
Containers will last up to 5 days in the fridge. However, you can easily freeze them, and heat them up when you'd like them.

There's a minor design revolution going on. Naval architects who seemed satisfied with the gradual evolution of the average white boat have made significant changes to hull shape, deck layout and styling. Hard chines, drop-down transoms, innovative interiors and improved sail handling systems are among the features that are popping up on everything from sporty racers to sedate cruisers. These features all appear on the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 409, and maybe that's why it won the award for 2010/11 European Yacht of the Year in the family cruiser category. The 409 is one of a range of new models, with a 509 expected soon.
There's plenty of evidence of the thought that went into creating the 409. The hard chine gives speed and stability as well as improved tracking ability. It also creates extra volume in the aft cabins. The keel is pushed well forward and balanced by a wide, powerful rudder. There are nice touches on deck with the cockpit engine panel angled to make it easier to read and a sprayhood with a useful handhold. Dedicated liferaft stowage by the transom is another feature that doesn't turn heads at boat shows but is both sensible and seamanlike.
There are curved hatches, uncluttered decks and the interior features some entirely novel ideas.
A twin wheel arrangement makes a lot of sense for a family cruiser, especially one with a drop-down transom. The helm can sit behind the wheel or on a coaming seat that doubles as a locker to tidy away the sheets. The Harken 46 winches are in easy reach of the helm but therefore awkward for the crew. However, the double-ended German mainsheet system means the mainsail be trimmed from whichever side is not be occupied by the helmsman. The table is a good combination of steel, wood and GRP, with excellent grabrails and useful stowage. There is further stowage in two cockpit lockers, though you'll have to sacrifice a cabin below if you want to carry a lot of serious cruising kit.
The transom lowers to create a bathing platform and there is a shallow lip that will allow crew to climb up from a dinghy when the 'drawbridge' is up. Going forward there is a huge sprayhood with a window to allow the halyard hoister to look aloft. The side decks are remarkably clear, with the genoa track set forward of the shrouds on top of the coachroof. All lines run under neatly concealed panels – a superyacht touch that is nicely executed on the 409. The teak grabrails are hard to grip securely.
The coachroof drops sharply away with the flush curved hatch, giving a modern feel. The genoa furling line runs across the centre of the foredeck, spoiling the clean lines found elsewhere, and also requiring people to watch their step when on the foredeck. There are two solid bow rollers, a very deep anchor locker and substantial cleats.
There are plenty of options for the sail plan, with a standard or in-mast furling main and 105 percent overlapping jib. The performance sail plan has a fully-battened main and 140 percent jib, with additional genoa car tracks on the side deck. There is also an option for a self-tacking jib. A lazy bag for the main comes as standard.
The weather gods had served up the sun but neglected to include much wind, so there was no chance of testing the grip and tracking ability of the 409's chine. With the 105-percent jib unfurled she got going in less than five knots of apparent wind and pointed at around 35 degrees. She tacked easily, though the wheel, connected to the twin, powerful rudders, felt heavy in the light airs; the dealer says subsequent adjustments have remedied this. This is no cruiser-racer, but she could be expected to provide a fair turn of speed in the right conditions.
With 6.2 knots of breeze on the beam we made 3.2 knots over ground, with a little help from the tide. It took a while to get used to the winch positions by the helm and owners will have to find their own system of jamming and un-jamming main and genoa sheet, and deciding what winch does what and when. There's so much friction in the many blocks of the mainsheet system that it's almost impossible to sheet in by hand.
The 409 kept slipping along, even when the apparent wind virtually vanished as we bore off onto a run. There wasn't enough puff to gullwing and it would have been good to have a cruising chute or Code Zero – an increasingly popular option, especially for those who opt for the 105 percent or self tacking jib. The position of the jib track so far forward and well inboard, which did nothing for the sheeting angle off the wind. The twin wheels and double-ended mainsheet worked well when sailing two-handed.
There's a 40-horsepower Yanmar Saildrive to provide plenty of grunt and engine access is good with the companionway rising on gas struts, though you'll have to kneel to get under there.
It is the odd-looking saloon table that grabs your attention as you step below. A fixed central cabinet houses a drinks cabinet, supports the table and also contains a clever pulley system. The table will most often be kept folded in half to create a useful space that two or three could eat at. Flip the top over and you have a full size table with the central area surrounded by a shallow fiddle. Fold it back, pull a couple of strings in the cabinet and the table lowers horizontally to create a double berth. Other clever features include lockers with invisible catches, plentiful LED lighting (including at floor level) and a nicely boxed-in mast compression tube.
The chart table is forward facing but also doubles as an occasional table – meaning no fiddles to stop charts and pencils sliding off. The table is covered with a good quality faux-leather, including a curved recess for the usual clutter. It's not a space for a serious navigator and there's a severe lack of stowage. But some sailors will be accept these shortcomings if it makes the saloon a more flexible space.
The considerable beam of the 409 allows for a large galley with plenty of worksurface – especially with the sink covers on. There is plenty of stowage, including in dedicated areas in the bilge. Ventilation is good.
There's a choice of a small ensuite heads or a proper desk/dressing table with a chair. The test boat had the extra heads but there was still plenty of room. There is lots of light thanks to ports in the hull and a curved hatch. The shelves that run along the sides are almost unique in having deep enough sides to be practical at sea. There's even a little bedside table area on each side. Stowage is plentiful with lots of hanging space.
Owners can pick between two identical cabins, or a single larger one to starboard with a larger heads and deeper cockpit locker to port. There's plenty of light here too, with the main hull port extending aft in addition to a hatch into the cockpit, plus a curved port and hatch in the cockpit. There's a shelf and hanging locker but no stowage beneath the berths. The main heads are well designed for the space available with a separate shower area behind a folding Perspex door.
Overall, the 409 looks like the real deal, as far as mid-size family cruisers go. Beyond her clean lines there are a host of features, both on deck and below, that will make her safe and enjoyable to sail. The innovations around the cockpit and the saloon are particularly commendable. Our test sail showed that she's neither tortoise nor hare, but her award as Yacht of the Year was earned after being exposed to a wide range of conditions.

Apple Watch SE review (2022): The best smartwatch $250 can buy
October 5, 2022 No Comments7 Mins Read
I wasn't expecting Apple, of all companies, to deliver the most competitively priced smartwatch you can buy in 2022. But with Apple shaving $30 off the cost, the new Watch SE is arguably the most compelling wearable on the market. For $150 less than the new Series 8, this year's Watch SE delivers a comprehensive suite of health and fitness tools, emergency features and surprisingly few tradeoffs. It even uses the same new chip as the Series 8, and it looks indistinguishable to boot.
Design and hardware
If you've seen one Apple Watch, you've pretty much seen them all. Unlike the majority of smartwatches for Android users, iPhone owners are stuck with the rounded square face the company has retained year after year. At this point, it feels like most people are used to the shape and have either embraced it, adjusted to it or given up complaining.
Comprehensive features for a new lower price
Well rounded fitness and health-tracking
Shorter battery life than other Apple Watches
Not rated for dust resistance
I'm one of those who's decided to no longer waste my breath asking for a round face. At least the Watch SE looks inoffensive and is light, comfortable and well made. The 40mm model I've been testing sits nicely on my wrist and most of the time I barely even notice it's there. A 44mm version is also available.
It's worth noting that most recent wearables are similarly unobtrusive, though at 26.4 grams (0.93 ounces), the 40mm Apple Watch SE is one of the lightest around. Meanwhile, the Fitbit Sense and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 both outweigh it at 37.6 grams and 28.7 grams, respectively.

Cherlynn Low / Engadget
Though the SE's underside is made from a nylon composite and sapphire crystal instead of the ceramic on its predecessor and the Series 8, I didn't even realize there was a difference until I scrutinized the spec sheet.
Unlike the Series 8 and Watch Ultra, the new SE isn't rated IPX6 for dust resistance, but it is water resistant at up to 50 meters. It also uses an older heart rate monitor than the other two, but comes with the same S8 system-in-a-package (SiP) processor, as well as an onboard high-g accelerometer that makes crash detection possible.
Like its predecessor, the SE's screen is covered by an Ion-X glass as opposed to the sapphire crystal on the Series 8. I've had no mishaps with the new SE, though my first review unit of the last-generation device did get seriously damaged, with spiderweb cracks covering the display after it fell off my bathroom sink. If you're clumsy or anticipate being careless with your smartwatch, it might be worth paying more to get a hardier model.
The Watch SE's Retina display is bright, crisp and easy to read, even in direct sunlight. That latter trait has a lot to do with the fact that Apple consistently uses colorful text on a black background, which is great for readability. Though Samsung watches like the Galaxy Watch 5 often have higher resolutions and greater brightness, they also sometimes use tiny fonts with low contrast and can be hard to read.
The new SE has the same display as its predecessor, which is to say it's also an LTPO OLED panel that runs at resolutions of 394 x 324 and 448 x 368 for the 40mm and 44mm versions, respectively. It'll also max out at 1,000 nits of brightness like the older SE and the Series 8.
Besides the lack of a skin temperature sensor, the main difference between this year's Watch SE and its more premium siblings, is that it doesn't have an Always On Display (AOD). This just means you'll have to lift your wrist (fairly deliberately sometimes) to see things like the time, how long you've been working out or a notification that just came through. It does take a second for the Watch SE to wake up and show me what I'm looking for, but it never felt too laggy. If you're the impatient type and have money to spare, though, this is one feature that might make the Series 8 worth the extra $150.
Performance and in use
For the price, it's impressive that the Watch SE uses the same S8 SiP as the Series 8 and Watch Ultra. In general, this meant the $250 watch was just as snappy as its pricier counterparts at setting new watch faces, measuring my heart rate, starting workouts and more. I wore the SE and a Series 8 during my testing and sometimes it was quicker to detect that I had been walking for 10 minutes or longer, while other times higher-end model would be first. Regardless of which device alerted me first, though, they both clocked roughly the same duration for my outdoor walks.
Using the SE to track my daily HIIT and resistance training sessions felt exactly the same as using the Series 8. The only difference was that the latter's AOD kept the workout screen on so I could more easily keep an eye on stats like elapsed time and calories burned.
The most significant feature that the SE lacks is the new skin temperature sensor that Apple introduced on the Series 8. This measures the wearer's body temperature overnight and, based on any deviations from a baseline reading, retrospectively estimates if they've ovulated. Because the SE doesn't have the hardware, it doesn't offer this ovulation-tracking feature. But it does everything else related to cycle and sleep-tracking. You can log your periods or wear this to bed to see how long you've spent in zones like REM, Deep and Core sleep.
Despite packing an older heart rate monitor than the Series 8 and Watch Ultra, the SE didn't take significantly longer to deliver a reading. Frankly, for the most part, I couldn't tell that there was any difference between the SE and the Series 7 I had been wearing for a year. Missing features like the ECG and blood oxygen apps weren't things I used much anyway.
One area where the SE lagged pricier Apple Watches is battery life. While the Series 8 usually stuck around all day with juice to spare the next morning, the SE tended to run dangerously low at night if I'd been particularly active earlier. I usually track one workout every morning and rely on the watches to automatically detect my two to five outdoor walks each day, all while trying to hit my stand and move goals. If I walk for longer than 10 minutes more than twice, the Watch SE will struggle to last till midnight.
Another notable difference between the SE and the Series 7 and later is that it doesn't offer fast charging, but it never took longer than an hour to get back to 100 percent.
Apple sacrificed surprisingly few features on the second-gen Watch SE. As a starter smartwatch, it offers plenty of health and fitness-tracking functions, while providing peace of mind via emergency features like crash detection and compass trackback. As long as you're not extremely clumsy or impatient, you won't miss things like the hardier screen, dust resistance or always-on display. At $250, the new Watch SE is the best smartwatch for the money.

ECB reacts to Michael Holding's criticism over BLM movement
Holding criticized Australia and England's players for not taking a knee.
By Rashmi Nanda - 12 Sep, 2020
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has now come out with its stance regarding the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement by saying the ECB remains "committed" to "diversity" and "equality" after West Indies legend Michael Holding criticized England and Australia for not protesting against the racism.
England wore "Black Lives Matter" logos on their shirts and took the knee to protest against racism during their Test series against West Indies, but opted not to continue in the recent series against Pakistan and ongoing limited-overs series against Australia.
Before the start of the ongoing series, Australia captain Aaron Finch said they would not take the knee because "education is more important than the protest" and England also followed the same.

Following the denial, former fast bowler-turned-commentator described the reasoning for the decision as "lame" and said the "excuses" given by England and Australia were "a bit flimsy".
The legendary cricketer further insisted just because West Indies wasn't there that doesn't mean England should stop respecting the movement while pointing out the racism is acute in the United States but people around the world should spread the message that they are against the racism.
Well, now the ECB reacted to Holding's comments and issued a statement.
The statement reads: "Our response to the Black Lives Matter debate has been to view the issue alongside the whole inclusion and diversity space, to ensure that long-term and sustainable change happens for all communities who are not treated equally. Our refreshed inclusion and diversity strategy, published at the start of the West Indies series, commits to several comprehensive initiatives that focus on eliminating discrimination from all areas of cricket."
The ECB concluded by saying, "England's men's and women's players all remain committed to using their reach and influence to keep promoting inclusion and diversity in perpetuity, for the betterment of cricket and sport. We understand the importance of symbolism, and its power to keep an issue high on the agenda. Our goal is to ensure we deliver both reach and change."

The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority, which was set up as the regulator for expenses following the Parliamentary expenses scandal, has often been criticised by MPs for being too bureaucratic, remote from those it seeks to regulate, and for enforcing seemingly illogical rules.
IPSA's popularity amongst MPs has, however, not been comprehensively polled - until ComRes, in association with Total Politics magazine, polled 152 MPs from the three main parties. As Total Politics notes, MPs tend to think of IPSA as something that should be scrapped, or something that should be suffered because "the public holds no sympathy whatsoever for complaints". Neither of these attitudes is particularly positive towards IPSA, and the results of the polling reflect that.

Plants and Animals Vote Against War on People, Opting to Wait Them Out
September 15, 2014 The Parsnippety
By William Azalea
In a fateful, predawn vote on Monday at a remote and abandoned barn in northern Minnesota, the Plant and Animal Kingdoms rejected the use of violence as a response to humanity's comprehensive assault on them.
The Minnesota barn where plants and animals met in an emergency session of the BioCongress
Two hundred seventeen delegates representing the major classes of plant and animal life across the globe met in an emergency session of the BioCongress to plan a course of action against human aggression. A proposal to declare war, put forth by a coalition of endangered species, was defeated by a vote of 139 to 78.
"Let me be clear," said Elizabeth Steelhead Trout, leader of the majority. "We have chosen not to take up arms against people, even though we would be entirely justified in doing so. They have destroyed much of our habitat, leaving us with smaller and smaller spaces on which to live and raise our children. In many cases they have left us with no space at all, condemning us to outright extinction. In other cases we have managed to live but must do so in the foul, polluted conditions that their greedy habits and unthinking excesses have created."
Steelhead Trout continued: "We observe, though, that the harm they do to us comes ultimately around to them; and that the violence they inflict on themselves, through soulless materialism and religious fanaticism, is far more lethal than any violence we could organize against them. So we choose to wait them out. Surviving as best we can, using every ingenious trick that nature has taught us, we will watch as humans defeat and destroy themselves."
"'Resist not evil,' one of the greatest human prophets taught, an instruction ignored by people for 2,000 years. Well then," — and with this Steelhead Trout put down her gavel — "we plants and animals will be the first to follow it, come what may."

….yet another fun adventure! We had incredible students at Maryhill Museum's Summer Art Institute, "Telling Our Stories in Glass" course. Everyone made a fantastic tile in such a short amount of time! These educators will go back to their classrooms inspired and ready to bring more art to their students.
After learning about the types of glass available, participants selected what they wanted to work with from an assortment of Bullseye glass frit, stringer, confetti and sheet glass. Thank you Bullseye Glass for discounting glass for these wonderful teachers, some of whom will offer a glass project in their own art programs.
Students then began building their tiles.
Tiles were made based on the stories participants wanted to share about their lives.
Making design decisions…. Thank you Oregon Glass Guild for loaning us tools to use!
Layering the backgrounds, and building glass tiles that will be heated to tack and full fuse temperatures.
Finished glass tiles: vertically, the left 3 rows were heated to 1385º, a tack fuse for texture; and the right 2 rows plus the bottom amber tile were heated to 1485º, a full fuse for a flat surface.
After class students toured my freshly scoured studio to see where and how I work. Intrigued by all the samples lying around that I keep on hand for inspiration and instruction, they asked excellent questions about various processes. Maryhill's Executive Director, Colleen Schafroth brought a gift for me, "Maryhill Museum of Art" by Linda Brady Tesner, a book I'd been planning to buy about Maryhill's history. Thank you Colleen!
The day ended with a great meal at Everybody's Brewing, downtown White Salmon!
A post about Maryhill Museum wouldn't be complete without another peacock picture! I love these birds!!
Next stop, Palmer Alaska where I'll be teaching at Half Moon Creek! Ready or not, here I come!! Watch my upcoming class section for updates: I'll be coming to The Dalles and Portland Oregon as well as Austin Texas this fall; and contracts are already in for Las Vegas and Maui next spring!
Why is summer slipping by so fast? It's July!! Wasn't it just yesterday that I launched Steider Studios Glass Medium™? I'd like to humbly thank you for all your support! I am ever so grateful to everyone who tried it in advance and those of you trying it now. The launch was a very long process, and indeed is still in process with me excitedly waiting to see your results! We're all creative beings and each of you will take it to a different place, finding wonderful new uses. I can hardly wait to see. Don't forget to send me photos!
In the meantime, my studio marches forward with deadlines, projects and planning my next teaching venues.
June was very good to me. It began with a button class in Olympia for the Machine Embroiderers of Oregon and Washington, sampling Steider Studios Glass Medium™; and ended with firming up class dates for this fall and next spring.
Maryhill Museum has invited me to be part of their Summer Art Institute, "Telling Our Stories". I'll be training 20 participants in a brief amount of time how to tell their stories in glass. It's open to educators who can earn credit or clock hours. You can register here.
My local 6 week basic kilnforming class will be held at The Dalles Art Center, starting September 21st on Tuesday evenings. Each week we learn a different process with different firing schedules so you can see what heat, gravity, glass, your hands & head can produce with glass. My class is in conjunction with a three person show in October. My gallery partners will be Anthony Kiser and Scott Berger, both painters. Thanks to Corliss Marsh, who is hosting us.
In October you'll find me teaching for Aquila Glass School in Portland, on the 8th & 9th. This will be the first time I've taught Powderology close to home. Or I should say, the first time since developing and teaching the class locally for Hood River Communtiy Education many years ago! Thanks to Don, Scott, and all the folks at Aquila for hosting me!
Hello TEXAS, here I come!! I'll be teaching in Austin for Jim Berry at Blue Moon Glassworks November 13 & 14; and in Houston for Bob Paterson at Hot Glass Houston just after or just before. Both Jim and Bob are wonderful to work with and I have several friends in Texas so am looking forward to both these classes! We're incorporating something different for each group of students!
If you can't join me in Palmer, The Dalles, Portland, Austin or Houston, how about Maui? March 6 – 11, Akimbo Studios is hosting me for a week-long workshop, not to be missed. Thinking outside the box, we'll immerse ourselves in all that is Maui while creating inspired artwork! No glass experience necessary, come have fun while exploring the possibilities in glass surrounded by the open-hearted joy of all participants.
Then I'll fly back to the Glass Craft and Bead Expo, March 30 – April 3rd for yet another extravaganza of classes, networking, shopping and entertainment that only this event in Las Vegas can offer. It'll be housed at South Point again and always fun!
In the meantime, studio production continues to move forward, with all my orders finished and delivered in reasonable time. There is one special order that I'm excited about that could evolve into something very large that I can't talk about just yet. So why am I mentioning it? Because I'm excited beyond words. Like a kid trying to keep a secret, jumping up & down with a big smile on my face! If it indeed pans out, you'll be the first to know!
On top of my teaching schedule, studio production and the usual marketing efforts one must make, during the last 5 weeks I've also been enrolled in a very intense, information packed marketing course. Kelly Rae Roberts' Flying Lessons. Every couple years I take a marketing class to stay in tune with current trends. This was my first on-line course & I thought it would be easy to keep up with, fitting it into spare time at my leisure. Silly me! What spare time? With all I have going on, it was a struggle, but with ugly weather at least my garden wasn't competing for my time. The first two or three weeks was really just a review for me, but then we started talking about licensing, something I've been very interested in. Hoping to find time later this year to delve into it, I wonder how many of you have looked into it & what you've discovered. Licensing, a whole new ballgame.
But for now, I'm starting to pack up all my new work for the Trout Lake Art Festival next weekend. I've only missed one out of 15 years when I had a show at the Japanese Garden in Portland. The Trout Lake Arts Council produces this venue, locating it at The Barn, a B & B in Trout Lake WA. It's a fun, local, juried art fair held at the base of Mt. Adams and the artists are treated very well. The volunteers bring us iced tea and cookies and even make sure we get a break every once in awhile. I love doing this show. Yes, I'm in a rustic barn, but imagine how sparkly my glass looks in this environment! Hope to see some of you there!
If all goes well, I'll have more exciting news towards the end of August…. no hints, you'll just have to stay tuned!!

Lil Durk – Lion Eyes | Download Mp3, Video, Lyrics
Lil Durk has been having himself a phenomenal year from a musical standpoint and with every new release, fans find themselves asking for even more. The artist has been through a lot and he always puts that pain into his music.
On Friday, Lil Durk surprised his fans with an emotional-sounding song called "Lion Eyes," which speaks to the trials and tribulations that one would go through if they lived the gang lifestyle.
The song has some dark piano keys all while Durk gives us some song vocals laced in autotune. Throughout the song, Lil Durk is talking about how gang life promotes a veil of machismo that oftentimes manifests itself in insecurity.
It's clear that Durk had a lot to get off his chest, and fans will certainly appreciate the emotional honesty here.

Five Deadly Venoms ('五毒' – Cantonese: Ng5 Duk6), also known as Five Venoms, is a cult 1978 Hong Kong martial arts film directed by Chang Cheh, starring the Venom Mob, with martial arts choreography by Leung Ting, and produced by the Shaw Brothers Studio, about five kung-fu fighters with unique animal styles: the Centipede, the Snake, the Scorpion, the Lizard, and the Toad (the Five Poisonous Creatures of Chinese folklore, from which the film takes its title). The film is considered one of the most popular martial arts films of its era and was listed at number 11 on Entertainment Weeklys Top 50 Cult Films list.

Plot

The dying master of the powerful Poison Clan dispatches his last pupil, Yang Tieh, on a crucial mission. Worried the skills he taught are being used for evil, he orders Yang to trace a retired colleague, Yun, and warn him that the fortune he amassed from the clan's activities is under threat from five of his former pupils, each an expert in his own lethal combat style. Yang must discover the whereabouts and true identities of these masked warriors, and decide which, if any, he can trust to join him in his mission.

The five pupils are the Centipede, Snake, Scorpion, Lizard, and Toad. Centipede and Snake were the master's first and second pupils and knew one another. Lizard and Toad were the fourth and fifth pupils respectively and also knew each other, but Scorpion, the third pupil, was unknown to the other four members. Before he dies, the master teaches Yang all the weaknesses of the five styles in order to give him a fighting chance.

The Centipede and the Snake come to the Yun family house to steal money before proceeding to butcher Yun's entire family when he refuses to divulge the location of his fortune. A witness sees the Centipede at the house. Later, the Scorpion investigates the scene and retrieves a hidden map. The Lizard, working as a policeman, recruits the Toad to help arrest the Centipede. After the Centipede is arrested and charged with murder, the Scorpion tells the Snake to frame the Toad for the murders.

The corrupt judge sends the Lizard away on government business while Snake pays off an officer to make the witness commit perjury, telling the judge he actually saw the Toad at the scene of the crime. The Toad refuses to confess, his kung-fu initially rendering him invulnerable to their attempts at torture, even when the Snake tries using a special torture device in order to counteract it. However, when that fails, the unseen Scorpion cripples the Toad by throwing a pair of darts at his weak points located behind his ears. Now vulnerable, the court subjects the Toad to further torture, leading to him passing out, after which his signature is forged on a confession.

With the Centipede acquitted for the murder charges, he goes free whilst an officer suffocates the Toad and hangs him in the cell to make it look as if he'd committed suicide. Afterwards, the Centipede and the Snake kill the witness and the corrupt officer in order to tie up any loose ends, but are both seen by two of the other policemen who go to a restaurant and tell the Lizard what happened whilst he was gone. The Lizard's supervisor, Chief Constable Ma, tries to encourage him to forget the issue, but the Lizard refuses. After identifying the Lizard and seeing his righteousness, Yang finally introduces himself and offers to work together with him to stop the other pupils; though hesitant at first, the Lizard eventually agrees and the pair work on techniques to defeat the others. As Yang and the Lizard prepare to confront the Centipede and the Snake, the Chief Constable arrives seeking to join them.

However, during the fight, he reveals himself to actually be the Scorpion and admits that he intends to kill everyone and claim the Yun fortune all for himself before jumping into the battle. The Scorpion manages to fatally injure the Snake and bribes the Centipede into helping him, however, Yang and the Lizard manage to defeat the Centipede while the Snake helps kill the Scorpion before he too dies. Once the fighting ends and the dust settles, Yang and the Lizard retrieve the Scorpion's map from his corpse and vow to use the fortune for good and restore the reputation of the Poison Clan.

Cast
 Chiang Sheng as Yang Tieh, the last student of the Venom House. Tasked with finding his late master's former students and killing them should they be using their skills for evil. Due to his rushed training caused by the illness of his master, Yang's fighting style is a mixture of the other five but is incomplete as a result. In order to succeed in his mission, he must ally with one of the other students in order to defeat the rest.
 Sun Chien as Gao Ji, the Scorpion/Chief Constable Ma. Known as pupil number three, Gao's fighting style revolves around the use of deadly kicks said to be capable of paralyzing (or even killing) a man in one hit; he also possesses an incredibly powerful grip and is proficient in the use of hidden throwing darts. He's the third of the students to die.
 Kuo Chui as Meng Tianxia, the Lizard/Constable He Yu. Known as pupil number four, Meng's fighting style allows him to defy gravity, allowing him to walk up and even stand on vertical surfaces in order to remain out of his opponent's reach whilst simultaneously attacking them from bizarre angles. Meng eventually joins forces with Yang and thus is the only student of the Venom House to survive.
 Lo Mang as Liang Shen, the Toad/Li Hao. Known as pupil number five, Liang's fighting style renders him nigh invulnerable to any kind of external harm while also making him inhumanly strong. However, despite the great power of his technique, Liang has a weak point located behind his ears which, if struck by an opponent, causes him to lose all his strength and become vulnerable. He's the first of the students to die.
 Wei Pai as Qi Dong, the Snake/Hong Wentong. Known as pupil number two, Qi apparently had money before he started training and (unlike Gao or his partner, Zhang) actually feels regret for his murders. His fighting style revolves around his one hand to deliver fast, high precision strikes to an opponent's vitals whilst using his other to redirect oncoming attacks as well as granting him superhuman levels of dexterity and flexibility. However, should he be attacked from two sides at once, he'll be unable to defend himself effectively. He's the second of the students to die.
 Lu Feng as Zhang Yiaotian, the Centipede/Tan Shan-kui. Known as pupil number one, Zhang's fighting style is focuses on unleashing a barrage of incredibly fast attacks, giving his blows the power to shatter bones and cause internal bleeding via overwhelming his opponent's with a swarm of rapid-fire punches and kicks. However, if he's attacked from both high and low at once he'll be left defenseless. He's the last of the students to die.
 Wang Lung-wei as Justice Wang
 Ku Feng as Bookkeeper Yuan
 Dick Wei as the dying Head of the Venom House

Styles
Each of the Poison Clan is alternatively referred to as either their Venom Style codename, or as their number in regard to the order of being taught by the master (except Yan, who refers to himself in one scene as "number 4", although the actor may have misspoke). Among fans, he is known as "Hybrid Venom", as his training contains bits and pieces of each of the other five styles, but is incomplete which is why he align with one of the Venoms in order to stand a chance against any of the others.

Number 1: Centipede - Wriggly and quick, this style is a nice blend of defensive and offensive posturing. The strikes are so fast that it is almost as if he has a hundred arms and legs. The weakness of this style as revealed by Yan Tieh is to attack both the opponent's upper and lower body in a simultaneous assault, since both portions are unable to exert the style's premised speed at the same time with each other.
Number 2: Snake - On one hand, the venomous mouth of the snake, fangs emulated in precise finger strikes designed to hit a target's vulnerable spots with pin-point accuracy; on the other: The rattling tail, uses to parry and knock away the opponent's attacks like a stinging whip. Masters of this particular style are known for their agility, being able to fight extremely well even while lying on their back. The weakness of this style as revealed by Yan Tieh is to stop the "head" and "tail" (the opponent's two arms) from combining, as neither the head nor tail can function well individually. This usually meant pinning the two limbs, at an angle, keeping them as far away from each other as possible.
Number 3: Scorpion - The Scorpion represents a double threat: Kicks from the Scorpion Style are just like the stinging tail of the namesake, when delivered by a master, a single kick can paralyze or even kill. Likewise the arms mimic the strong pincers of the poisonous arachnid, more then capable of crushing and snapping wood in half. Unlike the other five, the weakness of this Scorpion Style isn't clearly revealed as Yan Tieh's cut off during his explanation, but one can assume (by watching the Scorpion in his bout with Yan Tieh and the Lizard) that it's keeping out of reach from the user's damaging kicks and making them come to you. Although never confirmed, it's possible this style also teaches users how to use throwing weapons.
Number 4: Lizard - Placing an emphasis on mobility, users of the Lizard style are known for their ability to walk up and stand on walls, even being able to fight comfortably from such a position; maneuvering from one surface to another so as to avoid enemy assaults whilst also strengthening their own attacks by way of free-falling motion. Although never spoken of during the film, presumably the Lizard Style's weakness involves keeping the practitioner away from any vertical surfaces they could adhere themselves to and forcing them to fight on level ground.
Number 5: Toad - Through use of the Toad Style, a practitioner can make themselves invulnerable to just about any form of damage (such as slashing and piercing-based attacks) which also grants them enough strength to bend solid metal. The weakness of this style is that any master of the Toad Style has a "weak spot" that, when punctured, drains him/her of all the style's benefits; most notably their iron body. During his fight with the Snake, the Toad's points of weakness are shown to be his ears after the Scorpion secretly struck them with his darts. Some thought the only way to discover where a Toad Style user's vulnerable was to put him/her inside an iron maiden, but when the Toad was first placed in the iron maiden he was still impervious to the needles; only after the Scorpion and the Snake exploited the Toad's weak spot was he left defenseless.

Cultural references
 The film was referenced extensively in Juuken Sentai Gekiranger, in which the  are based directly upon the Five Deadly Venoms, each reflecting the fighting styles in the film. In turn, they were brought into Power Rangers: Jungle Fury as the Five Fingers of Poison.

 In Kim's Convenience season 1, episode 7 ("Hapkido"), Mr Chin and Appa test each other's knowledge of kung fu movies. Mr Chin wins by citing Five Deadly Venoms, which Appa doesn't know; Gerald later confirms it as the "best kung fu movie ever".
 This film is also referenced frequently in the works of the Wu-Tang Clan. Dialogue from the film is sampled in "Da Mystery Of Chessboxin'" from Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) and "Intro (Shaolin Finger Jab)" from The W.

Second Trailer for Chloe Zhao's 'The Rider' Starring Brady Jandreau
"I'm going to the rodeo." "You don't need to go ride today…" Sony Classics has debuted the second official trailer for the phenomenal film The Rider, which premiered at last year's Cannes Film Festival and played at every other major film festival - Telluride, Toronto, Sundance. Written and directed by Chloe Zhao, this film is a "docu-drama" hybrid, and this trailer plays that up by pointing out "true stories", and "real people." The star of the film, Brady Jandreau, is a real cowboy and really hurt his head in real life, and the family in the film is also his real family. The Rider is about what happens when a cowboy is forced to figure out a different life. I saw this at the London Film Festival last year and loved it, and I can't recommend it enough. It's an exceptional film worth your time to discover. And if you need a trailer to convince you, give it a look.
Here's the second official trailer (+ French poster) for Chloe Zhao's The Rider, direct from YouTube:
You can still watch the first official trailer for The Rider here, to see even more footage from this film.
Read Alex's glowing review of Zhao's The Rider from London: "This film wrecked me, for so many reasons."
After suffering a near fatal head injury, a young cowboy named Brady (Brady Jandreau) undertakes a search for new identity and what it means to be a man in the heartland of America. The Rider is directed by Chinese filmmaker Chloe Zhao, of the film Songs My Brothers Taught Me previously. The screenplay is also written by Zhao. This first premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last year in the Directors' Fortnight sidebar, where it won C.I.C.A.E. Award top prize. It also played at the Telluride, Deauville, Toronto, London, New York, Stockholm, and Sundance Film Festivals. Sony Pictures Classics will release Zhao's The Rider in select theaters starting April 13th this spring. Read my review here. And please go see this film, it's special.
