FOUR BITS: Soccer opens SEC, Haden for Thorpe, Hunter coming on, cross country honors
1 » The 2009 Southeastern Conference Championship Tournament begins Wednesday as one-seed Florida Gators soccer (14-4-2, 8-1-2 SEC) faces the eight-seed Tennessee Volunteers (8-8-3, 4-5-2 SEC) at 6:00 p.m. in Orange Beach, AL. Meeting earlier this season in Knoxville, TN, Florida and Tennessee tied 2-2 after two overtimes. The game may be heard live on 850AM in Gainesville, FL, and online HERE.
2 » Junior cornerback Joe Haden has been named as one of 12 semifinalists for the Jim Thorpe Award given annually to the nation's best college defensive back. Three finalists will be named on Nov. 23 and invited to the ESPNU College Football Awards Show on Dec. 10 when a winner will be announced.
Two more BITS after the jump…
3 » Ranked as a five-star recruit and the second-best defensive tackle in the nation coming out of high school, Gators redshirt freshman Omar Hunter was the crown jewel of the 2008 incoming class. A serious back injury, weight issues and high expectations slowed Hunter's development, but he is finally making strides and having an impact on Florida's defense. Among those helping Hunter were quarterback Tim Tebow and DTs Lawrence Marsh and Terron Sanders. "He's a guy that came in with high expectations and he was a major disappointment, more to himself than to anybody else," defensive line coach Dan McCarney said. "And he wanted to make sure that everybody knew that he was going to help this program, that it was the right decision to bring him here. Earning trust and respect from everyone around the program is important and he's doing that right now, every week, and doing a heck of a job. I'm really proud of him."
4 » Also pulling in awards Wednesday are two members of the women's cross country team, redshirt sophomore Rebecca Lowe and coach Todd Morgan. Lowe was named SEC Cross Country Athlete of the Year, while Morgan took home SEC Coach of the Year for bringing the Gators to No. 3 in the nation going into the NCAA South Region Championships in Tuscaloosa, AL, on Nov. 14.

Q: What is Activity.setDefaultKeyMode? I am looking into API document about Activity. I see a method 'setDefaultKeyMode', but I can't understand clearly what it is for. Would anybody please explain about which all key is affected and how does the default behaviour differ from other options.

A: There isn't that much to understand--it's to determine how key events that aren't handled in any other way (like by onKeyDown) are handled. By default, they just "go away". (Not system keys, app keys.)
The method's Javadocs describe the other modes.

a specialised truck to take him to the rehabilitation centre in Bangalore the Kolhapur forest division has decided to let the reluctant animal rest for two to three days before the next attempt To help Sunder get into the truck officials have dug a ditch and lowered the back end of the vehicle to allow the pachyderm to climb on to it through a special downward-sloping ramp For the last two days veterinary experts from Kerala as well as forest officials have been trying to entice Sunder into climbing on to the truck by placing bananas jackfruits pineapples sugarcanes and some jaggery inside On one occasion Sunder outwitted the officials by moving all the hay used to camouflage the metallic ramp Feeling the hot metal underneath it retreated from the ramp On Monday evening sudden rain and lightning and the resultant power-cut made the officials abort the mission "The elephant is not ready to board the truck and we cannot force it We just have to be patient" said Vijay Shelke Deputy Conservator of Forests The veterinarians and experts from Kerala who were especially invited to accompany Sunder from Kolhapur to Bangalore however beg to differ They opine that Sunder should be chemically immobilised before trying to get him into the truck a practice they claim is common while dealing with elephants "We are against sedating the animal after our research revealed that sometimes animals not sedated properly tend to get aggressive and hurt themselves or others around If something happens to Sunder who will be responsible" asked Dipak Jadhav a local animal lover The large crowd and the vocal opposition from local animal lovers mahout and onlookers to using sedative have put the forest department on the back foot Despite the vets' strong recommendation to use mild sedation the forest department has not even sought permission from the chief wildlife warden to use this method "We want to follow the protocol for elephant transfers that mentions the animal should be habitualised to the vehicle and not rushed into it Right now Sunder is scared of the sound of the truck and is not accepting the barricades We cannot be sure that sedation won't cause him shock or affect him adversely We want to use a safe method versus a hasty risky method" said M K Rao Chief Conservator of Forests Kolhapur "We have mentioned that the vets are suggesting sedating the animal in our report to the principal chief conservator of forests at Nagpur" The vets in their official report also stressed on the need to allow only government officials the elephant squad and the mahout (if he is cooperating with the team members) to be present at the site as the large and heckling crowd was inhibiting operations The mahout Hyder Mahat (22) said he was doing his best to encourage the elephant to enter the truck but has suggested that the animal itself could sense something is amiss and does not want to leave The forest officials are rushing against time as the Supreme Court had on

The Devil's Opera
David Carrico
Branding Craft & Skills Marketing Publishing The Writing Life The Writing Process 8 Comments
This is a combined public service announcement and post.
My first novel will be published in October by Baen Books. The title is 1636: The Devil's Opera, and it's a collaboration with Eric Flint.
The cover-illustration by the great Tom Kidd-is here.
Pre-order from Amazon here.
That concludes the public service announcement. On to the post.
Several of my fellow Fictorians urged me to give some idea of the process by which the novel was written. To do that I'll first have to give you a bit of background on the 1632 series of which it is a part.
In 2000, Baen Books published a novel entitled 1632 by Eric Flint. The elevator speech version of the plot is a cosmic space-time warp rips a small blue-collar town out of 2000 AD West Virginia and drops in it eastern Germany in the year 1631, which just happened to be in the middle of the Thirty Years War, possibly the bloodiest European war before WWI. The resulting series is about how approximately 3,000 regular people from the future not only survive the event, but begin to change history.
This was the beginning of what has become one of the most successful alternate-history series in publishing history. To date: over six million words; twelve novels (including the above) in hard copy; thirteen anthologies in hard copy; and forty-six issues of an e-magazine called The Grantville Gazette.
I don't have space here to give you the history of this phenomenon. If you're interested, go to http://1632.org/ and read. The short version is that Eric did something very bold and potentially risky: he opened the 1632 story universe up to fan writers, and offered to publish and pay for the best stories that were submitted. That was the genesis of the e-magazine The Grantville Gazette.
GG, as we call it for short, will publish anything that is a well-told story that fits within the guidelines Eric has laid down for stories in the universe. Current payment rates are 5¢/word, which is professional standard rate by SFWA guidelines. (See http://1632.org/ again if you're interested.)
I started writing stories in the universe in 2004. Within a couple of years I was part of what Eric considered to be a core group that consistently turned out good stories for GG on a pretty regular basis. (My fifteen published solo works total over 200,000 words and range from a 2,000 word short short to a 52,000 word short novel that was serialized.) Nonetheless, I was astonished when Eric approached me via email one day and said we should do a book together.
You have to understand that Eric is always on the lookout for writers he can help develop and help get a foot in the door in the publishing industry. Of the twelve novels published to date, I believe ten of them were produced in collaboration with seven different authors, plus I know there is another one close to completion with an eighth partner.
This is not a writing factory scam where someone else does all the work and Eric slaps his name on it at the end and collects all the money. In one partnership, I know that Eric worked with another professional writer and they divided the work. In the rest, Eric was senior author and the other partners were junior. I believe those all followed essentially the same model Eric used with me, so from this point on I'm just going to talk about my experience.
After the idea was broached, there was a certain amount of discussion as to what the book should be: a combination of stories from both of us, or a novel. Eric settled on a novel pretty quickly. So then we talked about what the novel should be about. I have two different series of stories going in GG with different but intersecting character groups in the same city. Eric said we should use one or both of the character groups in the novel in order to tap into the fan base that already existed for them. I had just finished a 27,000 word novella with one of the character sets, so I sent it to Eric. He agreed we would use that as the center pole for the novel.
The next step was to build the outline. That ended up taking a fair amount of time, because what worked best for me was to sit in the same room with Eric and talk everything out, ask a lot of questions, and make notes, and it took some work to get our schedules to intersect.
I wrote the first draft. That is Eric's standard practice with junior authors, for them to write all or most of the first draft.
Eric read the first draft, decided what changes needed to be made. He fixed some things himself, which produced the second draft. Then he assigned some changes to me, and I produced the third draft. Then he did the final polish, producing a fourth draft (approximately 169,000 words), which he then submitted to Toni Weisskopf, the publisher at Baen Books. And as announced above, Baen will have it on the shelves on October 1.
Someone asked me what Eric got out of the deal. Two things: he got to pay forward to a friend, and he got a good novel in his series with his name on it with much less demand on his time.
What did I get out of it? A novel in a good series with my name on it. 🙂 And by working with and under Eric, I learned things about outlining, plot development, mystery novel memes and tropes, chapter size and arrangement, proper levels of descriptive language and dialog, and on and on.
I also got to demonstrate to one of the best publishers in the business that I can write quality work and deliver a finished product without going through the slush process. Priceless.

Q: Why do my network response times not add up to the total reported by Chrome dev tools? Node on WSL2 I've recently been using WSL2 for development of of a node.js / express back-end service for a web application. I have noticed that some requests take significantly longer than they were doing so before when launched with Docker on MacOS - up to 300-400ms total.
Some of this is explained by time spent "Stalled" as reported by the chrome developer tools' Network tab. But some requests take a long time - which is not explained by anything reported by network inspector. Here's an example showing a request with 350ms total response time - but only 43ms TTFB and effectively no reported time spent queueing or being stalled.
Screenshot of Chrome Dev Tools network request analysis

Has anyone else seen this before or have any ideas where the extra time is coming from? The numbers provided add up to circa 50ms yet it is reporting total response time at 350ms. Running node inside / outside of a docker container make no difference to this phenomenon.

A: In case anyone else has this issue - this occurred while sending requests to localhost but using 127.0.0.1 to reach it instead made the issue go away. Response times reported by chrome dev tools now correspond to the sum of their parts using 127.0.0.1.
No idea why. Any comments would be appreciated if there's a reason why localhost lookup in WSL2 causes this mysterious extra latency.

Philippines – I "SAM" THE TRUTH!
Yes, even the Church is at war.
It was my first time to witness an electricity brownout while the Mass was ongoing which started right in the middle of the readings. Of course, everyone was anxious. As for me, my heart skipped a beat and silently prayed for the current to come back for the Gospel. There it goes. Lectors had to doubly increase their voice…I could also see our parish priest wiping his forehead. He seemed to be in deep thought, but, still, confident that what was gone would come back. My mother closed her eyes while praying. And I, I was doing the same thing.
During the Homily, Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) President Socrates Villegas' Message was, instead, read to us. It's about the Church's standing to the restoration of Death Penalty.
"An eye for an eye; a tooth for a tooth." is no longer at hand, it says. When Jesus came to this world, He had overpowered this brutal punishment of early church leaders. Not because He violated Moses' law, but He has given life to God's immense love. For even Moses is subject to Jesus. Jesus took all our iniquities, He was nailed on the cross, and He gave us eternal life. As Christians, we are among those people who value the sanctity of life. We don't need capital punishment to avenge ourselves from our brothers and sisters who had wronged us, no matter how grave it was. For they, too, are our brothers and sisters in Christ. It is better to have them change, instead of killing them and forcefully erasing their existence into this world, like an oblivion.
The restoration of the Death Penalty in the Philippines is contrary to the avowed duty of the State to comply with a treaty obligation. Philippines is one of the signatories of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) which prohibits the imposition of capital punishment because it recognizes life as a basic human right. Hence, in Section 19, Art III of the Constitution, it stresses that the Constitution, already completely, abolished death penalty from the statute books.
Last Ash Wednesday, the lower house has approved the bill restoring death penalty on the third reading. The lawmakers' voice was softened by fear of the unknown, particularly the iron-clad hand of a not-so-mighty-ruler.
The letter concluded with (if I can remember it right) a statement of continuing Church's battle with death penalty. Until I got home, I couldn't wait to encourage and awaken other Christian-Catholics to be aware and fight for life. I hope this post would somehow help.
It is not, yet, too late to stand up for life. The bill will, still, be reviewed and amended by the upper house, the Senate. And so long as Jesus' life lives in us, we will continue praying and urging our lawmakers to be in line with God.


trendy letter board.. so fun!

Flowers are a good choice, but how about this fun chocolate rose?
Having a date night could also fall into a save vs. splurge.

Trace a Portrait
M. L. P, 19th Century
View of Hastings from the East Hill, May 1873
Signed/Inscribed:
inscribed and dated in the margin "View of Hastings from the East Hill, May 1873"
17.50 x 25 cm.
Hastings is a seaside town and borough in East Sussex on the south coast of England, 24 mi (39 km) east to the county town of Lewes and 53 mi (85 km) south east of London. The town gives its name to the Battle of Hastings, which took place 8 mi (13 km) to the north-west at Senlac Hill in 1066. It later became one of the medieval Cinque Ports. In the 19th century, it was a popular seaside resort, as the railway allowed tourists and visitors to reach the town. Today, Hastings is a fishing port with a beach-based fishing fleet. It had an estimated population of 92,855 in 2018.
he first mention of Hastings is found in the late 8th century in the form Hastingas. This is derived from the Old English tribal name Hæstingas, meaning `the constituency (followers) of Hæsta'. Symeon of Durham records the victory of Offa in 771 over the Hestingorum gens, that is, "the people of the Hastings tribe." Hastingleigh in Kent was named after that tribe. The place name Hæstingaceaster is found in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle entry for 1050, and may be an alternative name for Hastings. However, the absence of any archaeological remains of or documentary evidence for a Roman fort at Hastings suggest that Hæstingaceaster may refer to a different settlement, most likely that based on the Roman remains at Pevensey.
Evidence of prehistoric settlements have been found at the town site: flint arrowheads and Bronze Age artefacts have been found. Iron Age forts have been excavated on both the East and West Hills. This suggests that the inhabitants moved early to the safety of the valley in between the forts. The settlement was already based on the port when the Romans arrived in Britain for the first time in 55 BC. At this time, they began to exploit the iron (Wealden rocks provide a plentiful supply of the ore), and shipped it out by boat. Iron was worked locally at Beauport Park, to the north of the town. It employed up to one thousand men and is considered to have been the third-largest mine in the Roman Empire. There was also a possible iron-working site near Blacklands Church in the town - the old name of 'Ponbay Bridge' for a bridge that used to exist in the area is a corruption of 'Pond Bay' as suggested by Thomas Ross (Mayor of Hastings and author of an 1835 guide book)
With the departure of the Romans, the town suffered setbacks. The Beauport site was abandoned, and the town suffered from problems from nature and man-made attacks. The Sussex coast has always suffered from occasional violent storms; with the additional hazard of longshore drift (the eastward movement of shingle along the coast), the coastline has been frequently changing. The original Roman port is likely now under the sea. Bulverhythe was probably a harbour used by Danish invaders, which suggests that -hythe or hithe means a port or small haven.
From the 6th century AD until 771, the people of the area around modern-day Hastings, identified the territory as that of the Haestingas tribe and a kingdom separate from the surrounding kingdoms of Suth Saxe ("South Saxons", i.e. Sussex) and Kent. It worked to retain its separate cultural identity until the 11th century.The kingdom was probably a sub-kingdom, the object of a disputed overlordship by the two powerful neighbouring kingdoms: when King Wihtred of Kent settled a dispute with King Ine of Sussex & Wessex in 694, it is probable that he seceded the overlordship of Haestingas to Ine as part of the treaty.
In 771 King Offa of Mercia invaded Southern England, and over the next decade gradually seized control of Sussex and Kent. Symeon of Durham records a battle fought at an unidentified location near Hastings in 771, at which Offa defeated the Haestingas tribe, effectively ending its existence as a separate kingdom. By 790, Offa controlled Hastings effectively enough to confirm grants of land in Hastings to the Abbey of St Denis, in Paris.[13] But, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for 1011 relates that Vikings overran "all Kent, Sussex, Surrey and Haestingas", indicating the town was still considered a separate 'county' or province to its neighbours 240 years after Offa's conquest. During the reign of Athelstan, he established a royal mint in Hastings in AD 928.
The start of the Norman Conquest was the Battle of Hastings, fought on 14 October 1066, although the battle itself took place 8 mi (13 km) to the north at Senlac Hill, and William had landed on the coast between Hastings and Eastbourne at Pevensey. It is thought that the Norman encampment was on the town's outskirts, where there was open ground; a new town was already being built in the valley to the east. That "New Burgh" was founded in 1069 and is mentioned in the Domesday Book as such. William defeated and killed Harold Godwinson, the last Saxon King of England, and destroyed his army, thus opening England to the Norman conquest. William caused a castle to be built at Hastings probably using the earthworks of the existing Saxon castle.
Hastings was shown as a borough by the time of the Domesday Book (1086); it had also given its name to the Rape of Hastings, one of the six administrative divisions of Sussex. As a borough, Hastings had a corporation consisting of a "bailiff, jurats, and commonalty". By a Charter of Elizabeth I in 1589, the bailiff was replaced by a mayor. Muslim scholar Muhammad al-Idrisi, writing c.1153, described Hastings as "a town of large extent and many inhabitants, flourishing and handsome, having markets, workpeople and rich merchants".
By the end of the Saxon period, the port of Hastings had moved eastward near the present town centre in the Priory Stream valley, whose entrance was protected by the White Rock headland (since demolished). It was to be a short stay: Danish attacks and huge floods in 1011 and 1014 motivated the townspeople to relocate to the New Burgh.
In the Middle Ages Hastings became one of the Cinque Ports; Sandwich, Dover and New Romney being the first, Hastings and Hythe followed, all finally being joined by Rye and Winchelsea, at one point 42 towns were directly or indirectly affiliated with the group.
In the 13th century, much of the town and half of Hastings Castle was washed away in the South England flood of February 1287. During a naval campaign of 1339, and again in 1377, the town was raided and burnt by the French, and seems then to have gone into a decline. As a port, Hastings' days were finished.
Hastings had suffered over the years from the lack of a natural harbour, and there have been attempts to create a sheltered harbour. Attempts were made to build a stone harbour during the reign of Elizabeth I, but the foundations were destroyed by the sea in terrible storms. The fishing boats are still stored on and launched from the beach.
Hastings was then just a small fishing settlement, but it was soon discovered that the new taxes on luxury goods could be made profitable by smuggling; the town was ideally located for that purpose. Near the castle ruins, on the West Hill, are "St Clement's Caves", partly natural, but mainly excavated by hand by smugglers from the soft sandstone. Their trade was to come to an end with the period following the Napoleonic Wars, for the town became one of the most fashionable resorts in Britain, brought about by the so-called health-giving properties of seawater, as well as the local springs and Roman baths. Once this came about the expansion of the town took place, to the west, since there was little space left in the valley.
The double decker promenade that runs from Hastings Pier beyond Marine Court (seen in the distance), with a break at Warrior Square, was built in the 1930s by the borough engineer Sidney Little. It was at this time that the elegant Pelham Crescent and Wellington Square were built: other building followed. In the Crescent (designed by architect Joseph Kay) is the classical style church of St Mary in the Castle (its name recalling the old chapel in the castle above) now in use as an arts centre. The building of the crescent and the church necessitated further cutting away of the castle hill cliffs. Once that move away from the old town had begun, it led to the further expansion along the coast, eventually linking up with the new St Leonards.
The extensive development meant that a large transient work-force was required. Many of the people coming in to Hastings at this time, settled on some waste-ground to the west of the main town called the America Ground. This land, originally a shingle spit created by the great storm of 1287, was declared to be Crown Property after an inquiry held at Battle during 1827 and the land was cleared in preparation for the development of this area of land by Patrick Francis Robertson.
Like many coastal towns, the population of Hastings grew significantly as a result of the construction of railway links and the fashionable growth of seaside holidays during the Victorian era. In 1801, its population was a mere 3,175; by 1831, it had reached over ten thousand; by 1891, it was almost sixty thousand.
The last harbour project began in 1896, but this also failed when structural problems and rising costs exhausted all the available funds. Today a fractured seawall is all that remains of what might have become a magnificent harbour. In 1897, the foundation stone was laid on a large concrete structure, but there was insufficient money to complete the work and the "Harbour arm" remains uncompleted. It was later partially blown up to discourage possible use by German invasion forces during World War II.
Between 1903 and 1919 Fred Judge FRPS photographed many of the towns events and disasters. These included storms, the first tram, visit of the Lord Mayor of London, Hastings Marathon Race and the pier fire of 1917. Many of these images were produced as picture postcards by the British Postcard manufacturer he founded now known as Judges Postcards.
In the 1930s, the town underwent some rejuvenation. Seaside resorts were starting to go out of fashion: Hastings perhaps more than most. The town council set about a huge rebuilding project, among which the promenade was rebuilt, and an Olympic-size bathing pool was erected. The latter, regarded in its day as one of the best open-air swimming and diving complexes in Europe, later became a holiday camp before closing in 1986. It was demolished, but the area is still known by locals as "The Old Bathing Pool".

Northbound Group was a company that generated leads for life-insurance sales. Facing financial difficulties, it agreed to sell its assets to Norvax, which generated leads for health-insurance sales.
The actual asset-purchase agreement was not between Northbound and Norvax, but between Northbound and a newly-created subsidiary of Norvax.
Northbound later claimed that both Norvax and its new subsidiary breached the asset-purchase agreement in various ways. When Northbound filed suit, though, it sued only Norvax and not the subsidiary, which apparently had no assets and (presumably) was judgment-proof.
The Seventh Circuit affirmed summary judgment dismissing Northbound's breach-of-contract claim against Norvax. The court said, "[i]t goes without saying that a contract cannot bind a nonparty. … If appellant is entitled to damages for breach of contract, [it] can not recover them in a suit against appellee because appellee was not a party to the contract." Id., slip op. at 4 (internal quotation marks and citations omitted, ellipsis and alterations added).
Lesson: Drafters should take note of the Seventh Circuit's remark to the effect that if Northbound had wanted Norvax to guarantee its new subsidiary's performance under the asset-purchase agreement, then it (Northbound) could have negotiated for such a guaranty. See id. at 8.

A: You can use collect_list instead of collect to convert dates into single element array and pass it to isin without lit function.
dates = df.select('date').distinct().orderBy(F.desc('date')).limit(3).select(F.collect_list('date').alias('dates'))[0]

# ['2019-12-01', '2019-11-30', '2019-11-29']

Donald Trump Thinks Exercise Is Fake News
By Chris Tognotti
Alex Wong/Getty Images News/Getty Images
It's no secret that President Donald Trump doesn't get much exercise. During his presidential campaign, he told TV host Dr. Oz ― in a rather surreal episode of television that obscured the fact that he never actually released his medical records ― that he got his workouts by waving his hands and arms during his campaign rallies. But according to a new piece by Evan Osnos in The New Yorker, the president actually has a radically odd perspective on fitness and human health. Basically, Trump doesn't exercise because he believes it's bad for your health to do so.
Noting that Trump's height and weight were reported during the campaign as 6 feet 3 inches and 236 pounds, respectively, Osnos wrote that Trump regards the human body as being like a battery with a limited supply of juice. And exercise, therefore, is little more than a fast-track to the grave.
As Julia Belluz detailed for Vox, the "Trump thinks his body is like an iPhone running low on charge" theory was first advanced in a 2005 book titled Trump Revealed, which relays the story of him chastising one of his executives in the casino industry for training for a triathlon:
Trump believed the human body was like a battery, with a finite amount of energy, which exercise only depleted. So he didn't work out. When he learned that John O'Donnell, one of his top casino executives, was training for an Ironman triathlon, he admonished him, "You are going to die young because of this."

This is far from the first time Trump has advanced an interesting theory regarding health. During the campaign, when his diet came under scrutiny, he offered up a defense by insisting to CNN's Anderson Cooper that places like McDonald's offered safer food than could be found in traditional restaurants:
One bad hamburger, you can destroy McDonald's. One bad hamburger, you take Wendy's and all these other places and they're out of business. I'm a very clean person. I like cleanliness, and I think you're better off going there than maybe someplace that you have no idea where the food's coming from. It's a certain standard.
And, of course, there's his well-known penchant for well-done steaks doused with ketchup.
For the record, there's no reason to believe the president is in poor health, except for the fact that he declined to publicly release his records other than the infamous one authored by his gastroenterologist, Dr. Harold Bornstein. But the current president seems to believe that not exercising is all to the greater benefit of his physical health.

I recently watched the film The Messenger which, despite my small complaint of it being too manipulatively sad, perfectly wraps up the problems facing birds now and how important they are. I've learned so much on this trip, and The Messenger has helped me succinctly wrap up the largest issues.
The combination of the (a) climate change we have caused, (b) direct pollution, and (c) direct destruction of long standing habitats that are not only favorable to birds, but often instinctively imprinted upon them as suitable locations, has left birds struggling to find suitable places for food and rest along their instinctual migrations. Some species are affected more than others, but this problem is certainly not exclusive to birds and the protection of their habitats will help in more ways than one.
Much of our development is built on the premise of its being useful, practical, and affordable. However, its long term impact on our planet needs to become a consideration as we tip the balance towards an inhospitable world. Birds are heavily affected by (a) buildings and infrastructure they collide with due to being too reflective, (b) noise that interferes with their calls, and (c) light pollution that confuses and disorients them. Some species are affected more than others but, once again, all wildlife benefits from adapting our design to include the natural world instead of excluding it.
In an effort to produce higher yields for profit and make farming an affordable operation producing enough to meet consumption demands, we have used insecticides with little clear research. The non-organic coatings on seeds or spray used on crop fields has led to both direct contamination of birds' bodies and indirect destruction of their protein sources (insects). This, all the while ignoring the beneficial nature of bird populations in controlling other pests. Some species are affected more than others.
As trivial as it may sound, urban cat populations are inherently invasive species. They kill potentially over a billion birds a year in the United States alone. While cats are an inherent part of human populations, the control of strays, controls placed on individuals harboring and supporting large numbers of outdoor cats, and the invention of "the next cat bell" to warn birds could all have incredible positive impacts on bird populations.
While hunting can be an incredibly lucrative support toward conservation and a traditional experience, respectful measures and use of copper ammunition could dramatically and beneficially impact migratory bird species.
The next 100 years will be very different than the last. We've got scientists dedicated to monitoring, voters that want green initiatives, the effects of our changed climate being felt by all, and the ability to track these birds and really pin down their most critical habitats.

The Mission Statement
The Skeleton Rep(resents) is a new works development company with a mission to explore modern myth through the sincere practice of craft. Our intention is not only to bring myths from the past into the present, but more importantly, to work with those preexisting narratives, archetypes, and structures in order to explore what is mythical about our own age.
HUNGRY (2017)
AWAKE & LOVE (2015)
DEVICES OF TORTURE (2020)
WHATCHAMACALLIT: A PLAY ABOUT JESUS (2016)
WENDELL & PAN (2019)
THE INCONVENIENT MIRACLE (2018)
Minotaurs. Ghost Children. Divine pregnancy. Dominatrixes.
This is just a taste of the themes, characters, and worlds that we've supported over the course of 50 salons, 9 productions, 2 short play festivals, and countless closed readings since Skeleton Rep's inception in 2015. We are truly egalitarian in our interpretation of mythology and welcome anyone who is interested in doing the big hard work of bringing to life these challenging, rewarding narratives.
While historically our mission has applied most specifically to theatrical works, the circumstances of the pandemic provided us with the opportunity to branch out into filmed projects.
In order to more effectively develop new work, we made the commitment in 2020 to compensate all artists for their efforts. This is a radical change from the typical landscape of readings and workshops, which have often relied on donated time from actors to get through this crucial stage in bringing a new story to life. We also do not believe in charging audiences for witnessing a work in its early phases of progress, making our funding almost solely based on donations from folks who believe in our mission.
SALON SERIES - Artists & Audience
SHORT PLAY FESTIVAL "Explore Modern Myth Pt 1" Group Shot
WORKSHOP of "Confessional" Group Shot Artists & Audience
If you also believe in compensating artists for their work as they explore modern myth and develop craft, please consider making a tax-deductible donation today and signing up for our mailing list.

Television Video

Female News Reporter Chases Nuisance Who Keeps Interrupting Her Broadcast
In the following footage, a female news reporter chases after a bystander who repeatedly interrupts her broadcast — not once, not twice, but thrice — while she is reporting on violent crime in a downtown area. What begins as annoyance on the part of the man quickly becomes a fit of rage and, ultimately, an off-screen pursuit on foot.
The unknown man, who initially walks in the shot and then, having been told that she is on a deadline, decides to dance his way back in while doing the robot, feels the wrath of said reporter as he foolishly ruffles her hair on the third attempt at the story, the result of which is a scream — which, coincidentally, is at the point when "violent crime" is being uttered in the news segment — and a drop of the microphone. CCTV footage later emerged showing the reporter seemingly pouncing on the nuisance.

one of those strange but true episodes…..


Wonderful Volvo P1800S from 1967. The car was restored in 1995 and has been used only in summer since. At this time the engine was rebuilt, new radiator, the body was repainted and it got a new leather interior. New original Volvo chrome parts were fitted and Kpz 5,5 rims.
Great car that is ready to go!
