CLASSIC – Singers/songwriters Belle Plaine and Blake Berglund perform Sept. 7th at Fratters Speakeasy in Red Deer.
Regina-based prairie sweethearts Belle Plaine and Blake Berglund are gearing up to release a country/folk music double-single, gold-toned vinyl record next month and are hitting the road to support the project. They perform Sept. 7th at Fratters in Red Deer.
The release beautifully pays homage to fellow Saskatchewan songwriter Zachary Lucky. The couple recorded two tracks from Lucky's catalogue – Town to Town and Saskatchewan.
All copies of the limited edition vinyl are expected to sell during the tour, which covers western Canada. The singles will also be available via iTunes. The recordings were produced by former frontman of The Waltons Jason Plumb.
"Blake and I were in Kansas City in 2014 for an event called Folk Alliance International," explains Plaine. "It gets people from all over North America together – it's a showcase event, it's a conference event – it's an incredible thing to go to make connections with people from all over North America," she explains. "And we found ourselves getting to know western Canadian musicians that we had heard of, or were just hearing of there.
"We were watching Zachary play – he's so hardworking, he's from Saskatoon, he's prolific and so talented. I leaned over and said to Blake, we should be singing this song! We were just starting to sing together and we were writing together and we were looking for material that suited us.
Meanwhile, listening to Plaine and Berglund it's very clear these two are such a natural, engaging blend in terms of their artistry. Both songs bubble over with a charming authenticity and warmth. Not to mention their work as individual artists, which continues to attract new fans and define them as noteworthy artist in their own right.
"It's become something where I can jump in on a lot of Blake's sets and sing back-up for him – so it's been really good for me as a musician," explains Plaine of the collaboration.
As for their live shows, Plaine and Berglund will each perform a set with their own sideplayers – Elizabeth Curry on bass and Jeremy Sauer on keys for Plaine and Bryce Lewis on guitar for Berglund.
To close each, the ensemble will come together for a selection of duets including Town to Town and Saskatchewan from the co-release, Kris Kristofferson's Chase The Feeling, and Ian & Sylvia's Summer Wages.
"We've become so integrated in each other's writing processes, and our bands have become so integrated in each other's songs, that it works really well," explains Berglund.
Plaine has one of those gorgeous and extraordinarily rare voices that is pretty much instantly addictive. Over the years, her tunes have percolated with jazz, pop and old-fashioned country richness.
Raised in the farming community of Fosston, Saskatchewan, her distinctive sound draws on a wide-ranging musical background, including years of professional training (formal study at MacEwan University) and performances stretching back to her youth.
Plaine's voice lends itself to various styles, from outlaw country to 1940s swing, adding a smoky, sultry touch to every song she sings. Her debut CD Notes From A Waitress earned the number three position on the earshot National Jazz Chart and number one on Edmonton, Ottawa and Lethbridge Jazz charts in early 2012.
At 18, she knew she wanted to write songs, perform and have a home recording studio. But when she moved to Edmonton to study jazz, her focus shifted toward a more technical aspect of music: sound recording. After graduation, she worked in a Calgary studio.
Eager for change, she enrolled at the University of Victoria as an environmental science major. Having fallen in love with Victoria's arts community she dropped out of school.
She later found herself in Sydney, Australia for a stint and the creativity continued to grow. In 2006, she returned to Saskatchewan and found a home in Regina's arts community.
Berglund's fresh style of country has been described as unpredictable, intelligent and genuine. His love for music stretches back to his younger days, as he recalls his grandfather always carrying a harmonica around with him.
Berglund also took piano lessons over his growing up years, and then eventually discovered the guitar. As mentioned, he went on to explore a number of genres before finding his niche in music that follows a country/folk sensibility. But Berglund, like Plaine, can't be strictly categorized when it comes to style. That attribute in itself fuels their overall charm as outstanding artists who aren't wary of continued sonic exploration.
Over the years, Berglund has released four CDs – 2007's Blake Berglund & Kennedy Rodeo, Ends of the Earth (2010), Coyote (2012) and Jasper (2014).
He earned an Independent Music Award in 2010, was granted Rawlco Radio's 10K20 Bursary in 2013 and was named Roots Artist of the Year at the 2013 Saskatchewan Country Music Association Awards.
Berglund's authentic songwriting and stage show also landed him showcasing opportunities at the 2012 Breakout West Festival, the 2012 Canadian Country Music Awards, and the 2013 Canadian Music Week Festival.
project, speaks warmly about the pair.


There are a many absolute certainties in the world of comics, to name a few: Batman's parents have to die, Gwen Stacy has to die, the whole freaking Planet Krypton has to die (Trend?), and an X-Men story is always bound to be as convoluted and unpredictable as the characters within it. The X-Men movie-verse however, has failed to live up to the lofty story telling heights set by the comics the films are based on, until now.
X-Men: Days of Future Past is THE definitive X-men movie. The film brings back all of the franchise's favorite characters along with the actors who originally portrayed them, thus creating a strong level of continuity and immersion right from the get-go. Leading the pack is the return of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine; wherein he gives us a performance that showcases what was missing in the Wolverine-centric Films. Each X-Men character is meant to be part of a collective group, sharing a collective story, it is in this manner that X-Men: Days of Future Past re-creates the greatness of X-Men on the big screen.
The plot of X-Men: Days of Future Past revolves around how the X-Men must send Wolverine back in time (because only he can survive the trip) to stop Mystique from killing Bolivar Trask and initiating the rise of the Sentinel Program. The film is well paced, with an intro that immediately grabs your attention leading into a deep story that gives viewers who haven't read the comics (most) a greater understanding of what motivates each central character. The film does an almost perfect job at balancing character-centric scenarios with factional ones; Days of Future Past really feels like a movie about the X-Men, and not just another Wolverine and the X-Men showcase. Everything cumulates into a very satisfying ending that will only make viewers want MORE.
Bryan Singer pulls out all the stops with this one, as Days of Future Past may very well be his last venture with the X-Men. Performances from all cast members are top-notch, with James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender steeling the show yet again with their amazing performances as Professor X and Magneto respectively. John Ottman's editing should be heavily commended, as the film never fails to transition seamlessly back and forth from a dark dystopian future to post-Vietnam 1970's. Jennifer Lawrence delivers her signature solid performance. Expect to see much more of Hollywood's newest it-girl as Mystique now seems to be to be the new face of the X-Men film franchise.
X-Men: Days of Future Past suffers from one or two plot holes, but then again, what good X-Men story doesn't? If you're an X-Men fan, this film is a must see. And if you aren't an X-Men fan, Days of Future Past is still… a must see. Casual moviegoers can rejoice knowing Days of Future Past is good enough to stand on it's own. And X-Men fans should thank 20th Century FOX of delivering to us the MOTHER of all X-Men movies, the Sistine Chapel of mutant features; Days of Future Past is what we've been waiting for, go catch it in cinemas before its too late.

Women, Islam and Cinema (Reaktion Books - Locations)
by Gonul Donmez-Colin
Publisher: Reaktion Books
This is the first book to examine the troubled relationships between women, Islam and cinema. Film critic and author Gönül Dönmez-Colin... Read more
explores the role of women as spectators, images and image constructors in the cinemas of the countries where Islam is the predominant religion, focusing on Iran and Turkey from the Middle East, drawing parallels from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, the two Central Asian Republics of the former Soviet Union, and Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Indonesia, the prominently Muslim Asian countries with a challenging film industry. Some of the relevant films made in India by and for Muslim Indians are also explored.Dönmez-Colin examines prevalent cinematic archetypes, including the naïve country girl who is deceived and dishonored, or the devious seductress who destroys the sanctity of marriage, and looks well at controversial elements such as screen rape, which, feminist film critics claim, caters to male voyeurism. She also discusses recurring themes, such as the myths of femininity, the endorsement of polygamy and the obsession with male children, as well as the most common stereotypes, depicting women as mothers, wives and daughters.Given the diversity of cultures, rather than viewing national cinemas as aspects of a single development, the author focuses on individual histories, traditions and social and economic circumstances as points of reference, which are examined in the context of social and political evolution and the status of women within Islam.Women, Islam and Cinema is a much-needed and timely work that will appeal to the curious reader as well as to the student of film.

When I was a kid, my father thought it would be a good idea for us to visit his homeland of Cyprus. There was some political uncertainties being discussed in the news at the time, but there did not appear to be any real concerns. We took a lovely cruise from mainland Greece to Cyprus across the Aegean and Mediterranean seas and spent a day or two in the city of Larnaca.
Then it happened. Turkey invaded Cyprus and the U.S. put up a blockade preventing Greece from sending support troops to the island. We should have evacuated at once, but my father didn't want to abandon his country. Instead we fled up the mountains to the little village in which my father was born.
As a child it was a thrilling adventure. But I could tell the adults were fearful and sad. Still we made the best of it. Other relatives from the cities also fled to the villages. There were plenty of young people to talk to. At night we would stand on the edge of the road and look down at the cities below and watch as bombs fell on them. Scary – but in a weird way lovely as well.
In time hordes of city dwellers made their way up the mountain roads, mainly on foot, bringing with them only the possessions they could carry in their arms. Refugees.
The native villagers accommodated them as best they could with the understanding, I suppose, that the refugees would be moving on as soon as possible looking for their own families and friends in other villages. It was not a situation anyone liked, but there was nothing that could be done about it. The strangers couldn't be abandoned. They needed help.
As I watched one clutch of families that had sheltered with us for the night move off to join the long train of people seeking more lasting safety, I noticed one man's face. He appeared to have been a proud man, perhaps someone of means back in the city. But now he was just one member of the desperate population escaping the violence below. He looked angry and ashamed at the same time; resentful but resigned to his fate. This was the face of someone who, through no fault of his own, had lost his old life yet retained defiant hope that the future would be better.
I'll never forget the face of that man. I see it sometimes in news clips of the new batch of refugees leaving the violent past and moving with some flicker of hope toward a calmer future.

Purely Poetry July review
Last night at Purely Poetry was just one of those night that make you think, "wow, people are great!" Everything clicked, there was a great vibe in the room, everyone was friendly, relaxed, and a load of connections were made.
We strive to foster that type of environment, where everyone is equal, and where everyone feels comfortable speaking or just chatting to the person sitting next to them. The emphasis is on 'open' in our open mic nights: we open the doors, give you the mic and let the magic happen. And we're truly blessed that so many of you choose the night to share your work in and to come listen.
We thought that July perhaps might be a quiet one (it usually is over the summer months). But oh, we were wrong, and happy to be wrong as we had a stormer of a poetry reading!
So we what to thank our wonderful readers:
Vincent Hurson, Tracy Chan, Andrew Beattie, Conor Clarke, Laura Cameron, Aidan O'Reilly, Lora Corr, Connaire McCullough, Ray Givans, Patrick Taggart, David Braziel, Peter Adair, Jason Ashford, David Davies, Mary, Mark Brownlee, 'The Thanki Two', Patrick McNicholl, Anthony Ferguson, Clodagh Harvey, Rebecca McGivern and Willetta Fleming.
A special mention to 'The Thanki Two', our first brother and sister joint reading!
Remember, we take a summer break in August, but we'll be announcing a few events over the summer. In the meantime, remember that we are in Armagh for a late night open mic in the bar at the Market Place Theatre & Arts Centre, for The John Hewitt International Summer School. That's on at 10pm, Thursday 30th July, and it's free. See you then!

President's Russia visit hoped to deepen comprehensive strategic partnership
VNS Tuesday, November 30, 2021 06:26
President Nguyen Xuan Phuc's official visit to Russia from November 29 to December 2, which will be made at the invitation of President Vladimir Putin, is expected to deepen the Vietnam-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership.
Then Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc (right) shakes hands with Russian President Vladimir Putin. VNA/VNS Photo
The bilateral political relationship has been continuously consolidated, reflected through the regular exchange of high-level delegations.
Despite serious impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, bilateral meetings have been maintained, notably phone talks between Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong and President Putin in April 2021, between President President Nguyen Xuan Phuc and President Putin in September 2021, and between National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue and Speaker of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of Russia Valentina Matvienko in June 2021, and an official visit to Russia by Foreign Minister Bui Thanh Son in September 2021.
The two sides have also maintained many coordination and dialogue mechanisms such as the annual Diplomatic-Defence-Security Strategic Dialogue at the permanent deputy foreign ministerial level, and the Defence Strategic Dialogue at the deputy defence ministerial level, and regular political consultations at the deputy foreign ministerial level.
The two sides have closely coordinated and supported each other at international forums such as the United Nations, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and the Asia–Europe Meeting (ASEM).
Russia supports Vietnam's stance on settling disputes in the East Sea via peaceful means, without using force or threatening to use force, on the basis of international law, the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea (DOC), and working towards the early completion of a Code of Conduct in the East Sea (COC).
Economic and trade cooperation between the two countries has also been developed dynamically in recent years. Two-way trade reached US$4.85 billion in 2020, up 9 percent year-on-year. It hit US$3.6 billion in the first nine months of this year, up 5 percent against the same period of 2020.
As of April 2021, Russian ranked 25th among countries and territories investing in Vietnam with 144 projects worth $944 million. Meanwhile, Vietnam had invested in over 20 projects worth nearly $3 billion in Russia.
Vietnamese Ambassador to Russia Dang Minh Khoi said that President Phuc's visit is of great significance, helping to deepen the Vietnam-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership in all fields. The visit also shows that Vietnam has actively implemented its foreign policy after the 13th National Party Congress in the spirit of independence, self-reliance, diversification and multilateralisation, for the sake of the nation, and contributing to peace and stability in the world.
Russian Ambassador to Vietnam Gennady Bezdetko affirmed that President Phuc's visit is one of the important highlights in the bilateral agenda for 2021, which is expected to bring a new impetus to promote the Russia-Vietnam comprehensive strategic partnership in many fields.
Earlier, in an interview with the Sputnik news agency, President President Nguyen Xuan Phuc said the visit demonstrates the importance the Vietnamese Party, State and people attach to the bilateral ties as well as President Putin, a close friend of Vietnamese people.
According to President Phuc, he and President Putin will review the Vietnam-Russia relations and seek major strategic orientations to elevate the comprehensive strategic partnership to a new height across spheres.
Meanwhile, Sputnik described Phuc's visit as an impulse that helps to create new breakthroughs for the comprehensive strategic partnership, thus bringing benefits to Vietnamese and Russian people.

About Temple Law / Student Spotlight / Class of 2015 / Ben Fils
Hometown: Chelsea and Everett, Massachusetts
Undergraduate School: Northeastern University
Job: Senior Coordinator of Student Accountability, University of Arizona
I participated in the School Discipline Advocacy Service (SDAS) throughout law school. SDAS began as a Temple Law student group, but has grown into a coalition of law students from Temple, Penn, and Drexel law schools who serve as advocates for Philadelphia public schoolchildren facing harsh discipline. In many cases, children are being disciplined for infractions that represented normal developmental challenges or were manifestations of underlying disabilities.
By serving SDAS in multiple roles, including a leadership position, I was able to put my legal training in mediation, negotiation, trial advocacy, and project management to good use in support of these children. It was an incredibly rewarding experience, and I'm proud to say that we have supported more than 100 underserved students and their families, connecting them to much-needed services.
I also participated in the Black Law Students Association and served as the mentoring chair in my second year. That gave me an opportunity to connect new first-year students to peers and professionals who have been in their shoes and gone on to find success. I have benefited from the lasting friendships I've formed with mentees, and from the chance to offer them much-needed support during one of the most challenging periods of law school. I also contributed to the National Lawyers Guild Expungement Program and several other projects that provided much-needed services to overlooked and underserved Philadelphians.
I volunteered on a number of different projects while at Temple Law. I knew I wanted to work with underserved Philadelphians when I chose Temple Law, so I sought out opportunities to that effect. My first volunteer service was with the Pennsylvania Voting Rights Coalition during the 2012 election, when Voter ID issues had the potential to disproportionately affect the elderly and minorities. I organized canvassing opportunities for law students to combat the misinformation that was being spread about Voter ID.
I also volunteered with the Pennsylvania Innocence Project, which works to exonerate the wrongfully incarcerated, in the spring semester of my first year. The work was challenging but had the potential to make a profound difference in the integrity of our criminal justice system. Knowing that my work could support the reunion of a wrongfully convicted person with his or her family was inspiring. I have tremendous respect and admiration for the Legal Director, Marissa Boyers Bluestine, and her entire team at the Pennsylvania Innocence Project.
The project that has meant the most to me is my work with the School Discipline Advocacy Service (SDAS), because it is largely student-run and student-led, giving law students the opportunity to fill a gap in services and put our vision into practice. The group has grown its advocate base and the number of public school students it has served each year. I am confident that the dozens of students we have helped keep in school will be future leaders of this great community.
One of my favorite memories is from the end of my Constitutional Law class. Professor David Kairys told the class about a former student who didn't follow the traditional path, but instead carved out his own successful niche by offering legal assistance to an underserved and stigmatized group. It was a lesson in Public Interest lawyering that many law students never have the opportunity to hear. As an aspiring public interest attorney, his story resonated with me and gave me a sense of reassurance in the path that I was on.
Carrying Temple Forward
Temple Law fostered a deeper commitment to public interest issues and community in me, and I will carry that with me as I move forward in my career. I believe that what I learned here will continue to guide the work that I do, whether as part of my full-time job or through pro bono service.
Advice for Future Owls
I came to law school with the expectation that it would be a very competitive and intimidating environment, where students would be difficult to befriend and faculty would be difficult to engage. I could not have been more mistaken.
Temple has been a very positive environment where student collaboration is encouraged. Professors have open door policies and often share the same level of excitement that students have when they hear about our successes and innovative ideas. Additionally, there are a number of formal and informal programs in place to support students in several ways, among them the Academic Core Enrichment (ACE) Program, the many services provided by the Dean for Student's Office, and peer mentoring programs through the Women's Law Caucus, Black Law Students Association, and similar groups. I would encourage every future Temple Law student to take advantage of these support services.

Washington law permits Residents suffering from a terminal illness to request medication that the patient may self-administer to end his or her own life.
From an estate planning perspective, the law does not require changes to existing estate planning documents. This is because the law does not permit patients to delegate the decision to invoke the new law to a substitute decision maker, such as an attorney-in-fact or guardian.
A patient's act of ending his or her own life in accordance with the law does not have any effect on any life, health, or accident insurance or annuity policy. The sale of such policies may not be conditioned upon the making or rescinding of a request for medication under the Act. Any provision in a Will, contract or other agreement, affecting whether a person may make or rescind such request, is null and void.
The mechanics of the law are pretty straight forward. A mentally competent Washington resident may submit a written request for medication that the patient may self-administer to end his or her own life; this written request must also be signed by two witnesses, at least one of whom is not related to the patient, entitled to inherit from the patient, or an employee of any health care facility treating the patient. Also, the patient's doctor cannot be a witness. The witnesses must attest that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, the patient is competent, acting voluntarily, and not being coerced to sign the request.
The treating physician must refer the patient to a consulting physician, for a second opinion as to the diagnosis, and to verify the patient is competent, is acting voluntarily, and has made an informed decision.
The treating physician and consulting physician must refer the patient for counseling with a psychiatrist or psychologist if either of them believes the patient may be suffering from a psychiatric or psychological disorder or depression causing impaired judgment and the process will go no further until the counselor determines the patient's judgment is not impaired.
The patient may rescind his or her request at any time. Health-care providers may decline to participate in this process, but the patient may transfer his or her care to a new health provider. The law grants civil and criminal immunity to any health care provider who participates in good faith.

Reddy, at a briefing held at the DRDO Bhawan here, said the interceptor had the capability to intercept satellites in orbit of 1,000 km. The Ministry of External Affairs had said the test is significant because India has "tested and successfully demonstrated its capability to interdict and intercept a satellite in outer space based on complete indigenous technology".
Ocasio-Cortez said she will immediately begin to work on legislation that would "fully flesh out the projects involved in the Green New Deal". When asked about Ocasio-Cortez's "Green New Deal" during an interview with Politico on Wednesday, Pelosi appeared to dismiss Ocasio-Cortez's plan.
Expressing sympathy for young families who had lost their homes."The real work is to make sure that they can get through the clean-up and rebuild their lives". The dam was holding 224% of its capacity Monday afternoon, according to 9 News, after peaking Sunday night at 247%. The authorities were forced to open floodgates of a major dam late Sunday, unleashing what they called "dangerous and high velocity flows".
Wall Street Journal editor-at-large Gerry Baker says British PM Theresa May survived her party's no-confidence vote because there is no time to elect a new leader before the January 21 deadline for the Brexit deal to be finalized. Ali said: "Inevitably, the contingency plans are for day one only, and in the event of no deal will represent the tip of the iceberg as longer-term plans will be more strategic and extensive than those publicly announced to date".
The United States' Apollo 8 mission sent three astronauts to fly around the moon in 1968, including around its far side. Chang'e-4's low-frequency radio astronomical observation on the moon's far side will fill many gaps in astronomical observation.
An anxious spill-over crowd in a nearby auditorium joined in the loud celebration. Mission scientists were relieved about the success because there was only one chance to get it right as New Horizons screamed past Ultima at 31,500 miles per hour.
Accumulation appears light across the Front Range at 1-3 inches, but prepare for a snowy morning commute. Temperatures should remain mild into the early morning hours Thursday with highs in the 30s by 4 a.m. Travelers are warned to keep up to date with weather forecasts and to know what the weather will be like at their destination, Edwards says. Gusty winds may cause blowing and drifting mainly through Thursday night but also extending into Friday.
NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine hosted a press conference today to reveal the next phase of the agency's lunar ambitions. For the new NASA program, called Commercial Lunar Payload Services , the moon landers would be far too small to carry people, but they could ferry scientific experiments to the lunar surface.
In a statement , a White House spokeswoman said the newly released installment - the fourth in a series of reports mandated by Congress - began under the Obama administration and that future efforts would rely on more accurate models and show that alarm is overblown.
The Rover mission is set to launch in July 2020 from Cape Canaveral. NASA said as well as its river delta and small crater impacts, the site contains numerous boulders and rocks to the east, cliffs to the west and depressions filled with aeolian bedforms (wind-derived ripples in sand that could trap a rover) in several locations.
The incident, triggered by a mechanical failure, forced two astronauts to abandon ship shortly after launching from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan . Ovchinin and Hague returned safely back to Earth in their capsule, and are likely get their chance to go to the space station in the spring, Roscosmos chief Dmitry Rogozin has said.
Hurricane Michael: Where were the 155 miles per hour winds?
Most of the rain was blamed on a low-pressure system off the Pacific coast, but Hurricane Michael in the Caribbean could have also contributed. "The worst thing you can do now is act foolishly" by putting yourself in danger or keeping law enforcement from saving lives, he said at a news conference.
Hurricane Michael , the fiercest storm to hit Florida in more than 80 years and the third-most powerful ever to strike the US mainland, battered the state's Gulf coast on Wednesday with roof-shredding winds, raging surf and torrential rains.
They said they'd arrived home just a few minutes before the tornado cut its swath through the neighbourhood. Environment Canada said that at nearly the same time a second, slightly less powerful, twister touched down in the south Ottawa neighbourhood of Arlington Woods.
Japanese billionaire, entrepreneur and online fashion tycoon Yusaku Maezawa , 42, announced: "I choose to go to the Moon". Musk did not name the clients previous year or say how much they would pay. While Musk has insisted that the spacecraft is safe, he warned Monday that there "are some chances things could go wrong". Maezawa has chartered a flight aboard the company's Big Falcon Rocket for a slingshot trip around the Moon, which is expected to take place in 2023.
North Carolina Emergency Management Director Michael Sprayberry said it was too early to estimate how many people in the state would be made homeless by the storm . A 61-year-old woman died in SC when the vehicle she was driving hit a fallen tree on Highway 18 near Union, The Associated Press reported. Six people died in SC, including four in vehicle accidents and two from carbon monoxide from a portable generator.
At 15:00 GMT (11:00 am), Florence was over the Atlantic Ocean about 230 km (145 miles) east-southeast of Wilmington, North Carolina , and moving northwest at 17 kph (10 mph), the NHC said . On Monday, with the storm appearing to shift south, McMaster, the SC governor, ordered schools in Aiken County, near the Georgia line, to close for the rest of the week to free up shelter space for hurricane evacuees.
Wind speeds of risky Hurricane Florence decreased slightly Wednesday afternoon to 120 miles per hour according to the 5 p.m. update from the National Hurricane Center. The National Hurricane Center says the waves were measured by satellite. With the storm churning across the Atlantic with 140 miles per hour winds, hurricane watches and warnings include the homes of more than 5.4 million people on the East Coast.
Hurricane Florence, the first major hurricane in the Atlantic basin this season, will be slamming into the Eastern United States this week as a Category 4 hurricane. The photos in Gerst's post capture Florence mid-churn, winds up to 130 miles per hour whipping around the storm's eye. When GPM observed Florence, the intensifying storm had maximum sustained winds of about 70 knots (81 mph) at that time and was still a tropical storm.
Coastal residents fleeing a potentially devastating blow from Hurricane Florence encountered empty gasoline pumps and depleted store shelves as the monster storm neared the Carolina coast with 130 miles per hour winds and drenching rain that could last for days.
ET, according to the NHC . "On the forecast track, the center of Florence will move over the southwestern Atlantic Ocean between Bermuda and the Bahamas Tuesday and Wednesday, and approach the coast of SC or North Carolina on Thursday". President Donald Trump issued a strong warning to those in the path of Hurricane Florence , which is on track to hit the East Coast as a major storm later this week.
Tropical storm and storm surge warnings were in effect along a long stretch of the central Gulf Coast from Morgan City, Louisiana, including Lake Pontchartrain, to the Alabama-Florida border. The National Hurricane Center reported that the storm could unleash "life-threatening" storm surge to portions of the central Gulf Coast. But tropical storm conditions - winds of at least 39 miles per hour - could hit the Gulf Coast as early as Tuesday afternoon.
Heavy rains are expected over the Gulf Coast states. The center of the storm was located about 60 miles west-northwest of Key Largo, Florida. "This warning replaces the hurricane Watch and tropical storm warning for this area". Heavy rain and gusty winds cover all of South Florida, especially in embedded rain bands. The center says the system will gradually strengthen and is expected to become a tropical depression sometime Monday and a tropical storm by Monday evening.
The conservatives, led by Dutton and former Prime Minister Tony Abbott , have taken issue with Turnbull's plan to embed an emissions reduction target of 26 percent within the legislation, arguing that the policy should be exclusively focused on reducing electricity prices.
A worst-case scenario could cost up to two trillion dollars in the first year alone and take a decade for full recovery, experts say. The two side boosters shut down and fell away as expected a bit less than four minutes after liftoff. "We have not been able to answer these questions". The spacecraft will also be prepared for the first of seven planned Venus flybys scheduled for October 2.
NASA said the spacecraft returned to Earth with more than 3,800 pounds (more than 1,700 kilograms) of cargo, including specimens from biological experiments conducted on-board the space station. He was selected for astronaut candidacy in July 2000 and was assigned to technical duties after two years of training. "The result is that we'll have a better and safer spacecraft", he said.
John McCain , R-Ariz., at home getting treatment for brain cancer. "Tomorrow I begin meeting with members of the Senate", he said , "If confirmed by the Senate, I will keep an open mind in every case". What we know is that at least two Democrats facing tough reelection campaigns in red states are positioning themselves to vote to confirm Kavanaugh if it seems politic to do so.
The Florida panhandle , a good portion of Alabama and western Georgia are dramatically more at risk for flash flooding with this storm. Alberto's top winds rose to 50 miles (80 kilometers) per hour early Sunday, up from 40 earlier, the National Hurricane Center said in a 11 a.m.
Alberto could cause $400 million to $500 million across the South, including damage to cars crushed by toppled trees, wrecked roofs and flooding, Watson said in an interview. Hardest hit will be small businesses that expected revenue from Memorial Day weekend tourists, Watson said. On the current path it will make landfall as a subtropical torm.

Texas Self-Storage Owner Helps WWII Veterans Visit Washington Memorial
Jack McClanahan, owner of Storage 105 in Conroe, Texas, is helping dozens of veterans visit the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C.
McClanahan became involved in the Montgomery County, Texas, chapter of the Honor Flight Network, a national nonprofit organization, after meeting the organization's founder, Brenda Beaven, at a rotary gathering in 2008.
McClanahan began hosting once-a-week gatherings at his facility for WWII veterans, then became more involved with the local branch of the nonprofit, Lone Star Honor Flight, serving as a co-director and guardian on the trips. The organization covers all expenses including air fare for veterans to travel to Washington D.C., to see the World War II memorial.
The veterans also visit the memorials and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, witness the changing of the guards at Arlington National Cemetery, have lunch and then fly home. Beaven launched the program in 2008.
There are about 2,500 World War II veterans living in Montgomery County, according to Beaven.

«Открове́ние Глаа́ки» () — вымышленное эзотерическое сочинение в двенадцати томах, придуманное Рэмси Кемпбеллом. Книга была написана в культе нежити, поклоняющейся Великому Древнему богу Гла'аке. Всякий раз, когда Гла'ака спал, у членов его культа были периоды свободы воли, и, поскольку они были частью Гла'аки и разделяли его воспоминания, они записывали то, что помнили о мыслях своего хозяина. Рукописи  сектантов позже стали известны как «Откровения Глааки».

Книга упоминается в произведениях Брайана Ламли, вошедших в сборник The Taint and Other Novellas (2007) — рассказ «Ужас в Оукдине» (, 1977), повесть «Дом над прудом» (, 1980).

Описание
Рэмси Кэмпбелл впервые описывает Откровения Глааки в рассказе «Обитатель озера» (1964). Первоначально текст состоял из 11 томов, из них девять в тщательно сокращенном опубликованном издании, но в прошлом их было больше. Ходят слухи, что ученый-мифолог Антониус Куайн однажды опубликовал том исправленное издание Откровений Глааки.

Рэмси Кэмпбелл адресует книге следующие слова:Самая злая книга или утерянный вклад в литературу оккультизма? Как и содержимое Александрийской библиотеки, она могла остаться лишь легендой.«Откровения Глааки» — редчайший и страшнейший труд, который недоступен для непосвященных ибо его сведения слишком опасны, чтобы попасть к людям. Эти запретные знания были записаны в первой половине XIX века приспешниками бога-слизня, обитающего на дне озера близ Бричестера, графство Глостершир.

Богомерзкий труд представлял собой беспорядочное нагромождение ритуалов, заклинаний, молитв и легенд. Значительная часть текста была заимствована из других оккультных фолиантов, таких как «Некрономикон», «Книга Эйбона» и «Таинства Червей». Изначально «Откровения Глааки» состояли из одиннадцати рукописных томов. Но сохранились свидетельства, что некогда существовал и двенадцатый — продиктованный автору во сне на вершине холма Мерси под Бричестером и гораздо более редкий даже в сравнении с остальными. Позже сектанты вносили правки и все дальше удаляясь от изначальной редакции.

Единственное известное печатное издание — выпущенное лондонским «Маттерхорн Пресс» очень малым тиражом в 1865 году — насчитывало только девять томов, «отредактированных, структурированных и исправленных Перси Смоллбимом».   Тем не менее девятитомные «Откровения Глааки» могут до сих пор храниться в частных коллекциях и специализированных библиотеках.

I had expected to get an update much sooner, but was confronted with a computer meltdown over the New Year period. It has been a very busy season so far, with a relatively low number of advance bookings, but many late bookings and arrivals. We would advise prospective guests to book early, as we have had to turn quite a few away and decline late booking requests. After a rather windy and damp Xmas period, the weather has mostly been settled, with some glorious hot days. Scalloping has been good, with limit catches the norm and large shellfish. The snapper are also biting!
Our local resident white heron has been very much in evidence, having returned from the mating grounds earlier than most. Seal pups have been regularly seen at Wharariki Beach, and the scenery there is as glorious as ever. Lately we have seen and heard the young of Tuis, Bellbirds and California Quail. Of course the adults are very much in evidence as always.


Gerardo Del Real: This is Gerardo Del Real with Resource Stock Digest. Joining me to today is President and CEO of Midas Gold (TSX: MAX)(OTC: MDRPF), Mr. Stephen Quin. Stephen, thank you for joining me this morning.
Stephen Quin: Thank you, Gerardo, good to be on.
Gerardo Del Real: The last time we spoke we went over the results of the very successful 2016-2017 Winter Drill Program. You had some phenomenal results there. And I know a part of that Winter Drill Program was to optimize the resource in preparation for an upcoming feasibility study. And on April the 3rd you actually announced that you had commenced that feasibility study for the Stibnite Gold Project. Could we talk a little bit about the details and what you're hoping to achieve with this new feasibility study?
Stephen Quin: Sure. I'd like to, Gerardo. As we announced at beginning of April we hired a group led by M3, which is a Tucson-based consulting firm, to put together the feasibility study for the project. And the point of the feasibility study is to provide a more definitive design and estimates of costs, caps on operating costs for the project. This builds off the pre-feasibility study we did at the end of 2014. The pre-feasibility study is less tightly defined, but also part of what a pre-feasibility study does is identify what needs to be addressed before the feasibility study gets under way or is part of the feasibility study.
So there was sort of two areas that we identified in the pre-feasibility study, besides the usual updating caps on operating costs type of things that we wanted to focus on. One was metallurgy and improving or optimizing recovery scenarios there. And the second was the resource that was included in the feasibility study. And metallurgy we put a news release out about six weeks ago to detail the progress on that side of it. And we're sort of moving forward, continue to move forward on that to optimize metallurgical performance. And that provided some upside opportunity to reduce consumption, reduce energy costs, and see a bit of a bump in recovery. So all those results were out about six weeks ago.
As you mentioned, we completed the drill program that we announced and talked about last time. And that was really focused on optimizing the resource side of it. And that was where the bigger opportunity was. Because you go back to 2012 and compare the preliminary economic assessment we did then to the pre-feasibility study we did in 2014, there was about a just under $400 million reduction in NPV or net present value of project. And it was primarily related to taking out inferred resources, because you can use those in a PEA but not in a PFS.
Stephen Quin: And so there's obviously those million ounces sitting out there, and the drill program is designed to convert them, those inferred or a chunk of those inferred, into indicated resources so we can use them in the feasibility study. So now the feasibility study takes all of that data, whether it's the metallurgical data, whether it's the new drilling, and we have started putting together a new geologic model that takes all of that data and refines the geologic controls. And then they'll provide the basis of an updated resource estimate, which obviously we should expect to include in current to indicated conversions. So we should see an increase in ounces in that mine plan, assuming everything else stays the same. And then we incorporate that into a new mine plan. And then the mine plan incorporates all the cost information, operating costs, etc. to optimize that mine plan.
So that there's a path you move down. So now we have the drill information, we have metallurgical information. We're able to push down the path of that feasibility study.
Stephen Quin: The other component, sorry go ahead, Gerardo.
Gerardo Del Real: Oh no, I was going to ask and I think you were headed there, Stephen, is whether or not this feasibility study would incorporate the antimony credits? Because I believe those were left off of the pre-feasibility study. And I know there's an opportunity there.
Stephen Quin: Yes certainly. And part of the reason for the drilling when we saw that sort of $400 million reduction in NPV, a chunk of that was related to removing one of the data sets that drilled in the mine when it was operating, which saw the antimony resource take a hit. And it particularly impacted the first sort of three years of production. So some of the drilling we did was to bring that antimony back into the mine plan. And so there's an antimony credit there, that should be beneficial as well. We believe we've done enough drilling to reincorporate that in the resource. But obviously that's part of the estimation process.
So the feasibility study is underway now. The first steps are to sort of step back and look at all the changes. Because when you compare the plan of restoration operations, the plan we submitted to the regulator for the permit process, it is different to the pre-feasibility study because between 2014 and mid 2017 we also made a number of other changes. Where we put waste truck storage, optimizing different aspects of the project. So there's a number of changes that need to be incorporated and addressed before we start heading down that process.
The other component in the feasibility study as well, is that it essentially has to run in parallel with the permitting process. Because the regulatory process can result in requests for changes in design and move that structure here to there, move that facility or change some aspect of the project. And obviously you need that incorporated in the feasibility. So the feasibility and the permit reflect the same project. So they kind of run hand in hand and they feed into each other, back and forth with feasibility changes might slightly modify the permitting or the permitting might slightly modify the feasibility scenario. It's a fairly integrated process and that's really why it takes the time to get it completed and have it sort of finished in Q3 2018, because they're running hand in hand. Until the projects crystallized from both the regulatory and the feasibility perspective, you can't really finalize the feasibility study.
Gerardo Del Real: Correct. Now Stephen you mentioned the permitting process and obviously you've just made some very important additions to the Midas Gold leadership team. So I was hoping that you could touch on that a bit. And also provide some details. The latest news release, the headline read, US Forest Service Selects AECOM to Evaluate Midas Gold's Proposed Stibnite Gold Project. So all of this kind of ties in together. I was hoping you could touch on that as well.
Stephen Quin: Sure. So the feasibility study essentially runs in parallel with the permitting process. And so a component of the permitting process or a major component of the permitting process, is for the U.S. Forest Service to evaluate the proposal we've provided them. The potential economic, environmental restoration aspects of the project etc. And that on a project of this scale the Forest Service doesn't have the breadth and depth of expertise to analyze all the details related to the project like this. So the very physical approach the Forest Service takes is hires what it calls a third party contractor, somebody who's working not for us and not for them, or is not part of them. And that contractor essentially under the direction of the Forest Service conducts the review of the project. And so they've hired a company called AECOM, which is very large scale consulting company that does this kind of work, both for companies and some situations where they're working for the company on a project or for the government, where they're working for the government on a project.
So they've been hired and they're now taking on a lot of the technical work. So we're delivering them all of the baseline data we've been collecting for the last several years, so they can analyze that. Obviously they're analyzing the PRO as it was submitted to analyze that project. And then as I mentioned, tying into the feasibility study, one of the obligations they have is to look at alternatives and all the different aspects of the project. Everything has an alternative. Is that alternative commercially, environmentally, socially feasible option? Is that the best option or is there a better one? So they go through an analysis process where they consider different options and ensure the project has the sort of best possible combinations of components. And obviously that then ties to the feasibility study because they decide some components of the project should be different that has to be addressed in the feasibility study. And obviously as I said earlier if anything we come up against in the feasibility process that modifies what's required for the permits then that has to be addressed by them.
So it's again an iterative and interlinked process. And so AECOM is driving that. And they'll move through the steps. And people can go online and look at the presentation on the company and see the various steps. The next step is to announce the initiation of the EIS, an alternative assessment process through public notice and then the public as the opportunity to provide comments to ensure the Forest Service and it's contractors are addressing everything to do with the project that needs to be addressed. That somebody didn't forget something. And make sure those components are taken care of. So that's the next step of the project and moving the project forward. And that will be announced relatively soon we expect. And we'll see that 30 day scoping period commence.
Gerardo Del Real: Excellent. Excellent. I know when we spoke about the final results from the drill program. We talked about possibly there being a Summer Drill program. And that's obviously something that shareholders would get excited about. Because your very last hole I think drilled something over 194 meters of 3.6 grams per tonne gold equivalent, if I'm not mistaken. So I think obviously people are looking forward to possibly another drill program. Is that something that's in the cards for the summer time, Stephen?
Stephen Quin: That's a discussion we still have to have. What we're currently doing is analyzing all the data we've got and then looking at what are the opportunities and what would it take to drill. Practically you can't drill, it's not sensible to drill until late June or July. So there is no immediacy to the decision, we don't have to decide today. So we're taking the time to analyze that data and make sure we've got all the information we require to know where to start and what drilling might make sense. The key is that there is only any point in doing that drilling if it feeds into the feasibility study. If that data comes in too late, then it'll be too late to incorporate into the feasibility study. So there is sort of a short window in the early summer where we could get in and do a small amount of drilling or modest amount of drilling, and still have time to incorporate it into the resource model. But that's a determination we have to make in the near term.
Gerardo Del Real: Excellent, excellent. Well Stephen I want to thank you for your time. I encourage everybody to go to the website. This is truly a world class project. It still has world class exploration potential. The website is midasgoldcorp.com. Stephen, anything else that you'd like to add?
Stephen Quin: You did mention that, maybe just briefly on the new additions to the leadership team on the project. And I didn't answer that part of the question. So we announced a couple of key appointments to our team that's helping with the permitting process. Alan Haslam joined us from Agrium, which is one of the large fertilizer companies that has a number of mines in both Canada and the U.S. But particularly of interest for us, it has phosphate mining down in Southeast Idaho. And Alan led the team that just permitted the last mine permitting in Idaho, The Rasmussen Valley Mine. Which only got its record of decision in January 2017, so that's just three months ago or so. So Alan comes fresh from successfully permitting a large scale, open pit mine in Idaho and has taken over the leadership of the permitting process and taken all the benefit of that experience and moving it forward.
And then Mckinsey Lyon joined us as well. She's been working with us for about five years on building and developing public support for our project over the last five years. And is very well connected with community at the State level, etc. She's really on the side of working with that permitting team to make sure that we're getting the information out there about our project. But also getting the feedback on the project back to our side, so that we can address people's concerns. We've been doing this say for a number of years, and she's been very integrally involved in that on a consulting basis. But now she's joined us on a full time basis. Both of those are sort of tying into that permitting process and hopefully make it more effective and more inclusive.
Gerardo Del Real: Excellent. Now I think those are very important appointments, Stephen. Both Alan and Mckinsey have experience locally obviously, but as important they have experience with large scale projects. And so I think that having both of those pieces on the board is going to be very, very valuable here in the future. Stephen, anything else?
Stephen Quin: No. I think that covers it, Gerardo.
Gerardo Del Real: Excellent. Well I look forward to having you back on soon. Thank you for your time today and let's see what the summer has in store for us here as far as gold goes.


With the MA VPU light (Video Processing Unit), MA Lighting has developed a smart and compact video control offering nearly the same performance as the successful MA VPU plus and MA VPU basic. Only 2HU height, the MA VPU light features sophisticated hardware and proven MA software. Furthermore the in-built screen displays all essential information about the status of the MA VPU light.
Additionally MA has enhanced its MA VPU plus and MA VPU basic in comparison to the MA VPU light. All MA VPU will now offer Full-HD (MA VPU plus MK2 6 layers, MA VPU basic MK2 4 layers, MA VPU light 2 layers - which are rendered in parallel). Also MA VPU plus MK2 and MA VPU basic MK2 are now equipped with 3 x DVI-outs instead of two as with the prior version, while the MA VPU light offers 2 x DVI-outs and 1 x VGA-out.
All MA VPU have common features enabling all videos, still images and 3D objects to be scaled, positioned, tiled, colored and manipulated directly from any grandMA2 console. It is as simple as controlling any other fixture – the MA VPU just has to be added to the network session – no additional paramaters are needed. The MA VPU don't need parameters in the network as they calculate these themselves. The whole operation relies on the highly intuitive well-established MA philosophy. So if you know grandMA2, you know the MA VPU.
Thanks to the power of the MA VPU all videos can be displayed in up to Full-HD. Furthermore, the internal output synchronization of the MA-Net2 ensures the highest frame and DMX synchronicity.
Horizontal and vertical soft-edge blending as well as keystone correction help to scale videos to any size desired. Size doesn't matter! More than that, the MA VPU offers convenient 3D keystoning functionality and enables the user to fit content to any 3D objects, regardless of size and shape. Additional improvements to frame interpolation and smooth speed control can be used to adjust the playback speed as well as anti-aliasing to smooth the mapping of the projection.
Beyond that, there is a myriad of functions, features and effects available like frame blending, colour boost, dynamic colour key, contrast, brightness, hue, saturation as well as blur, sepia, black/white, ocean and invert plus many more. All can be easily accessed and are self-explanatory in their use.
Combinations of videos and still images can be mixed and controlled, with JPEG images and standard windows bitmap images such as *.bmp as well as *.gif supported. There are no differences between the different types of MA VPU hardware – except the overall performance.
The MA VPU can be programmed via the grandMA2 console in blind and preview modes. This means that the MA VPU follows the console to blind and preview which simplifies programming considerably. Also the MA VPU has a new Single-Layer-Crossfade mode which allows the user to program all content on the same layer.
Based on the rock-solid technology of MA Lighting, the MA VPU suits all your needs and is optimised for transportation, longevity and on-the-road use. Each MA VPU comes with a pre-installed content library comprising more than 17GB of professional content.

Our Move to France
Besançon France - Will's Childhood Home
Back to the place where Will used to visit with his family and take school field trips
I've heard dozens of Will's stories about his childhood and was finally able to put images with all the places he has told me about. We stopped by his hometown of Besançon, which is a few hours north of Lyon and near the border of Switzerland. We drove by the small town he grew up in, saw the hospital he was born in, the home his parents built, his kindergarden and elementary schools, and all the bike paths and play areas he used to go with his brother.
The home Will's parents built, where he grew up until they moved to Lyon when he was 16 years old.
Top: Will's kindergarden school.
Right: Will's elementary school.
This is his neighbors property behind their backyard. Will and his brother used to climb their neighbors haybales in the barn until they got caught. haha
At the top of the city is a giant wall that goes along the entire hill. At the top there is a museum and zoo overlooking the whole city.
The wall at the top of the hill.
We walked instead of driving up the hill, and regretted it once we saw how many steps there were to climb!
The view on the way up the hill. Besançon is the greenest city in France.
Most animals were gone because of the winter.
These animals are called "Vigogne". They also had Ostriches.
I loved seeing the place where Will was raised and learning more about another French city. :)

About Magnolia Legal Funding
After more than a decade in personal injury law, Jay Bass and Mike Rubinowitz had seen a lot of people in trouble. They knew the pressure from their clients to settle fast — too fast — when they were out of work, out of money, and out of options. They knew they could do better, win bigger, if their clients could afford to wait. And they knew that money could buy time.
Magnolia Legal Funding was founded to buy time for good cases. Jay and Mike will work with you to assess your case and provide the right amount of funding, fast. The right amount, to get your clients back on their feet. Fast, to eliminate the pressure to settle too soon.
Jay and Mike saw the problem firsthand in 1999, with a client who had been catastrophically injured in a construction accident. He was unable to work, and his worker's compensation and disability benefits weren't enough to cover his expenses. The Code of Professional Responsibility prevented the attorneys from advancing money to their client, but they wanted to get him help. They discovered that the "best" rates available were as much as 48 percent a year, compounding daily.
To make matters worse, these high-interest advances weren't even available until the attorneys and their staff had spent hours copying files and records and filling out lengthy questionnaires. In the end, the client got an advance and was able to survive until he won a substantial settlement — and paid back more than double what he'd received as an advance.
Jay and Mike realized that personal injury attorneys needed a company to turn to when their clients were in dire straits, a company that wouldn't charge obscene rates. And they knew that attorneys and their staffs shouldn't be wasting valuable time copying files and filling out forms.
"We know a good case when we see one, and we know good attorneys when we meet them," says Jay Bass. "Our goal is to make things easy for them. We only work with the cream of the crop of the plaintiff's bar. We forge personal relationships with these attorneys so we can evaluate a case over the phone in the shortest time possible. When the case is right we can cut a check right away — we know how to get the job done."
Getting the job done right is the key to Magnolia Legal Funding. That means minimum risk, minimum hassle, minimum paperwork, and maximum benefits. Protect your best clients by helping them get immediate cash for their needs, and protect yourself by working with a company that understands your business.
"We know there are other companies out there that claim to do what we do," says Mike Rubinowitz. "But no other company — no one — can get your clients money as quickly and as painlessly as we do. We've got the lowest rates, the fastest service, and easiest process. There are no forms to fill out, no copying of files, no worrying about paperwork floating around unaccounted for. We are absolutely the right company to call when a client needs cash."
