What a week! The hottest St Mary's Holiday Club since records began, but one jam-packed with fun, paint, glue, biscuits, sports and games, new and old friends, singing, archery, film-making, treasure hunts, finding out a bit more about ourselves and about God, and lots of laughter.
Thanks to all the young leaders and grown-ups who made it happen, and to our 72 'Treasure Seekers' for making it such brilliant week.
July and August are traditionally the best months for going on holiday: for one the weather is supposedly better (and if not at least the rain is warmer!). We decide on our holiday destinations carefully – it might be because of the better weather, a desire to see a place or simply to spend time with friends and family and 'take time out'.
We might think that carving time out for rest and relaxation is a modern thing, but it has always been a part of the world in which we live. From the cycle of crops and our seasons to what we find written in the Bible: the Book of Genesis tells us that God rested on the seventh day, and the Bible is full of journeys and 'holidays'.
This summer twenty or so members of the village community will be going on a different sort of holiday – that of a pilgrimage. We are going to visit the places associated with the Christian saints of 7th century Northern England – of St Cuthbert, St Aidan and St Hilda. This was at a time when Northern England was a key centre for Christian learning and understanding.
A pilgrimage is a journey to a special or holy place deemed more spiritually significant than home and this is certainly the case for the mighty Durham Cathedral and the serene and tranquil Holy Island and Whitby Abbey. We are going hoping to encounter God and also to journey towards greater self-awareness of both ourselves and each other, bringing with us our joys and our sorrows.
Yet any journey can become a pilgrimage if we do it with the intent of encountering God on the journey, from a holiday in foreign climates to a trip to the shops. Below is our pilgrimage prayer and perhaps you might want to modify it for whatever holiday you are going on this summer, because wherever you are going, God is already there to meet you.
help us to grow in the knowledge and love of your Son Jesus Christ.
and for taking on your Spirit afresh in our lives.
We ask this in the name of the Triune God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
As we mark the one hundredth anniversary of the end of the First World War in 2018, a guide has been produced to record details of those who died as a consequence of that war and the Second World War and are buried in St Mary's Churchyard.
Their graves are marked by the distinctive design of a Commonwealth War Grave headstone. The plan will guide you to these graves.

In exactly a week now I will boarding a plane for one heck of long flight all the way to Brazil. One thing I know for sure at this moment is that the stress is real. I mean in the past week I have been asked countless times if I'm nervous or freaked out and every time I just shrug my shoulders and act like it's going to be nothing. Honestly though I am so unbelievably nervous I mean straight up I am freaked out. It's a good thing to be nervous though, and plus I'd be kind of worried if I wasn't nervous about moving to a whole new continent for 8 months. I have no idea what to expect and I don't know if I'll come back different or even a little bit smarter. However I do know I'll come back from the experience of a lifetime with awesome stories and amazing new friends. Plus honestly 8 months isn't nothing, I'll be back in no time fam. Thank you to everyone that has been excited for me and that has supported me in this decision. I'll do my best to frequently post so you all can see what crazy Brazilian stuff I'm up to.


The Fresh A.I.R. Show: Artists In Recovery is an ongoing creative project conceived by Michael Hamers in the spring of 2013. The main message is one of displaying strength, hope and joy that many have found through their artwork and recovery. The inaugural public group show took place in January 2014 at the Firehouse Art Center in Longmont followed by another group show in August – September at NCAR. An ongoing intermittent series of shows is in the planning and they will be taking place in various public access venues across Boulder County.
The 3rd Fresh A.I.R. group art exhibit, entitled "Art As Medicine", will be hosted by Boulder, Colorado's Dairy Arts Center from January 13th to February 26, 2017. Fresh A.I.R. Shows celebrate the power of art to heal and/or cope with overcoming debilitating human circumstances.
Art that is submitted need not relate directly to the artist's healing process, although submission of art on this theme is strongly encouraged.
Each artist must submit an ARTIST'S STATEMENT (limit 250 words max.) of the role that making art has had in their healing or recovery process. These statements will be included in the exhibit to accompany your artwork and may influence your acceptance into the show. Submittal details and online registration is at https://ArtAsMedicine.ArtCall.org.
Both the Fresh A.I.R. shows and ENLIGHTEN UP! programs are in constant need of sponsorships and donations from the community to help pay for marketing, advertising, rental expenses associated with the call for entries, artist awards and other expenses.
Both programs were created and organized by Michael Hamers and are approved to seek tax-deductible contributions through the Fiscal Sponsorship 501c3 Re-granting Program of Boulder County Arts Alliance (BCAA). If you wish to be a Sponsor or to make a donation and receive a tax-deductible receipt for your taxes, please contact Mike Hamers for quick and easy procedure at mike@lightspeedca.net.
If you wish to DONATE without paperwork you can do so with your PayPal (or major credit card) account. Click the "Donate Here" button to the secure PayPal donation page. All donatations, big or small, are greatly appreciated.
ENLIGHTEN UP! is a one-day Conference, open to the public, based on various modalities for creating joy through a combination of understanding the science and psychology behind depression and addiction and the role that knowledge, art, music, dance, yoga, language, journaling, leadership skills, and humor have on the human psyche to elevate the spirit to rise above and flourish again.
This inaugural group art show had 12 artists showing 21 pieces that opened on the New Year celebration. The show was well-attended and a good amount of artwork was sold or commissioned at the month-long event.
18 "artists in recovery" displayed 79 pieces at this 2-month long publicly-viewed show. We held two Artist Receptions, one in each month — both with food and live music. Again, the show was well-recieved and the receptions were well-attended.


Another month another selection of books.. This month has been a bit sporadic with books, I've been starting ones I've read before then stopped halfway through. I've read a tone of samples on my kindle but not found any that I'm in the mood to read.
I do however have a few to share with you today and as always you can read every other months under the books tab at the top.
I have been wanting to read the Devil Wears Prada for years as I loved the film so much. I thought the book would be much the same. It was really good but it was a bit of a slow read. The film is roughly based on the book, I was surprised how much was actually changed. I have to say I think I prefer the film better. Andy is a lot nicer in the film, in the book I found her character really unlikeable. I work in fashion so I did sympathise with Andy in certain aspects of the book. If you like the film don't ruin it by reading the book.
The List follows .. who after a bad break up comes up with a list of sexual act she's been too scared to try. Acts she wants to complete within the year. Everything from threesomes to role playing is on this list. So she proposes to her best friend Oliver that he should be the one to help her. The List is the perfect chick-lit, trashy book, that is a quick read. It was also very funny and I think her hesitations in the bed room is something we can all relate too.
I'd heard so many good things about This Is Going To Hurt that I had to give it ago.. This is not my usual type of book but I'm so glad I read it. This is going to hurt is written by ex- doctor now comedy writer Adam Key detailing his time working for the NHS in the Gyno and obstetrician wards. This book is very funny and is a real insight into what it's like working as a doctor and for the NHS. A lot of it surprised me as I never knew what really went on in behind the hospital doors. But be warned this book will make you laugh and will make you cry.
Okay I'm not going to lie I did buy this book purely for the pretty cover.. I know that's bad but it is a great cover. I'd also never read any Nora Ephron books before. But I love her movies, You've Got Mail and When Harry Met Sally are two of my favourite films. So I wasn't surprised when I loved Heartburn, Nora Ephron really is an incredible writer. The book is all about cookbook writer Rachel who's seven months pregnant and finds out her husband is having an affair. I'm not married so I didn't think I'd like a book all about marriage. But this book was so good and very funny. You really start to sympathise for Rachel's character. I found myself screaming in my head at her to just leave him. Another light read that really surprised me in the end.
Okay I loved this book. It was so cute. Blix a matchmaker who believes in magic is dying from cancer. She has come to terms with it and it really waiting around for her time to come. While at a christmas party she meets her Great-Grandnephew Noah's new bride to be and instantly feels a connection with her. Marnie is charmed by Blix instantly but doesn't understand why Blix is so obsessed with her.
Fast Forward 5 months and the marriage over as soon as it begins & Marnie moves back home. She then receives a letter informing her of Blix's passing and that she's has left Marnie her Brooklyn Home. With one stipulation she must stay there for three months before she sells it. Along with the Brooklyn home comes a house full of characters all who are close to Blix. Jessica & her son Sammy, Lola Blix's best friend and reclose Patrick. Marnie is taken by all characters and spends her time in Brooklyn finding out why Blix picked her to keep the house. Only to realise that's where she was supposed to end up all along.
Like I said I loved this book, the whole story line was so cute. It talked alot about signs and how we know something is meant to be. I for one really believe that everything happens for a reason. Matchmaking for Beginners was all about begin in the right place at the right time. Believing that things will work out.


Imagine this: 84-acres of interactive science park where everyone from young children to seniors can enjoy a two-story science center, one of the largest butterfly conservatories on the East Coast and several beautifully landscaped outdoor exhibits which serve as safe havens for rescued black bears, lemurs and endangered red wolves. Additionally, other attractions include over 60 species of live animals as well as a railway and a dinosaur trail.
Sounds like a dream, am I right? If you're lucky enough to live or visit the Durham, North Carolina area, you know the Museum of Life & Science is a reality that is better than any dream.
Our team was thrilled to partner with the Museum of Life and Science in 2015 for a website design from our digital agency. The Museum decided that their site needed a fresh look after an upgrade in 2014.
With the hopes of bringing the Museum to life, we began concepting a completely new site, rich with images. It was important to be mobile responsive, as we know Google prefers responsive web design and for a business that relies on local tourism, we knew many users would be exploring via a mobile device.
We also knew that when the first-time visitor came to the site, what they saw would directly impact their desire to visit or choose another local attraction. Through using the bright brand colors for the Museum, and displaying richly colored images of inside the exhibits, as well as a video showing ways the visitor would interact once inside the museum, users are given a chance to explore the Museum before they ever step foot on the property.
Speaking of branding, The Museum of Life and Science has made great strides in branding their tagline "Know Wonder". Using that as a theme for the whole site, our designer placed the tagline prominently on the home page. Using a variety of devices, the tagline is the first thing you see.
The website's background video further conveys to web users the meaning of the tagline, with children exploring different parts of the Museum. On mobile devices, a static image is shown to improve page load speed and usability. Continuing down on the page is an interactive slider that allows users to easily find pertinent information for the Museum, including hours of operation, directions and admission details.
Throughout the site, dropdown and accordion style menus keep the website succinct and clean, while allowing the user to dig in and easily find the information that they are looking for. The hands-on discovery throughout the website is subtle hint at what can be expected at the interactive museum.
In just two short weeks since the site has launched, the historical data compared to January 2015 is astounding. We're looking forward to providing The Museum with an influx of online visitors including a spike in mobile sessions, as well as a well rounding digital presence that brings their brand marketing to life. We're looking forward to learning how the website affects conversions or in the Museum's case, tickets sales, as well as feedback that people are leaving with the Museum staff.
Click the image below to explore the newly launched Museum of Life and Science website.
Do you have a digital project coming up? We can help. Our website design experts can bring your brand to life and help create a digital presence that performs beyond your expectations. We'd love to hear below what you think about the new Museum of Life and Science website. To learn more or get started on your own project, click the button below and let's talk.

I attended PyCon US in Portland two weeks ago. Here's a quick summary of the conference.
The tl;dr is: if you do anything in Python, or are interested in data science, science software, or programming education for children, come to PyCon. Come for the conference and hallway track, and plan to stay for the sprints.
Next Level Testing (James Saryerwinnie) – Discussion of property testing, coverage-driven fuzzing, stress testing, and mutation testing. Property testing sounds particularly cool, as it can take a very general property (func should not raise any exception but ValueError) and explore inputs until it finds one that violates the property. This could be useful in programming against specs or comparing pre- and post-refactor behavior in a big refactor.
A Gentle Introduction To Deep Learning with Tensorflow (Michelle Fullwood) – Last year I attended a talk about deep learning "for non-rocket scientists" that was so densely packed with math that I gave up. This talk was much better, and I now feel like I have an understanding of how deep learning works, how it's related to regression and modelling, and issues around overfitting.
Do It For Science (Katy Huff) – This was a great keynote emphasizing the importance of supporting science and exhorting all of us to get involved. She brought up a number of concrete suggestions, including Software Carpentry, Data Carpentry, The Hacker Within, and JOSS.
What Nobody Tells You About Documentation (Daniele Procida) – This was a high-level, but meaningful talk about documentation. It divided documentation into four types: tutorial (to learn), how-to (to solve problems), reference (to get information), and discussion (to gain understanding). He made some links between these – two are practical, two are theoretical, two are good for studying, and two are good when using the product. I think too many products just lump all of their documentation together, making it hard or impossible to find what you need when you need it. Reading API docs is not a great way to learn how a library works, but neither is reading a chapter about the software a good way to remember what the name of that method you need is.
Finally, Hacking Cars With Python (Eric Evenchick) and Hacking Classic Nintendo Games with Python (Sam Agnew) were cool dives into the bits-and-bytes world of digital devices around us. Sam's actually involved hacking an emulator, and Eric's did not involve any actual cars (in fact, I don't remember much Python), but both shared the excitement of being able to modify a system's behavior by peeking and poking bytes here and there.
The hallway track – conference lingo for the interesting stuff that happens outside of the talks – is strong at PyCon. That starts with chatting up others at lunch or at the numerous tables in the hallways ("So, how do you use Python?" is a good starter). After a few years (I've been at PyCon since 2011!), you start to see the same people and have something to catch up on.
PyCon hosts conference dinners each year, some with Python-related trivia. These are a nice mix: a fun social time with lots of conversational topics, but still enough of a "conference event" to feel safe and relaxed. The Python trivia was hard! For example, can you name – off the top of your head – the keyword with the most characters?
I attended a few "open spaces". These are organized at the event, by pinning index cards to a timeslot on a big pin-board in the lobby - sort of like an unconference. These can be social events, organized meetings, or just people interested in a topic gathering to chat. One evening I attended "PyMicrobreweries" which was a fancy name for a handful of strangers heading to Rogue together.
I also dropped in on a Mozilla Science Lab chat led by Danielle Robinson. I didn't know much about the Science Lab, but I learned quite a bit from Danielle and the others present and got connected to some of the lab's activities, including the Mozilla Global Sprint.
PyCon's sprints start after the main conference ends. The idea is to give projects time to gather together while everyone is in the same location. Some projects take advantage of the time for core developers to meet and make momentous decisions. Some projects use the time to get some work done - writing code, tending to issues, etc. And some projects use the audience to attract new contributors. The latter make sprints a great time for newcomers to the language to get some experience with real Python software, and to learn from some of the best.
The sprints are extremely informal. There's no schedule at all – the allotted days are completely open. The conference provides a few meeting rooms, tables, along with power and Internet. Some years, there's lunch, some years everyone at the table pitches in for a Subway order. This year, a box lunch was provided every day.
I keep feeling like I should care more about the Internet of Things, so my initial plan was to hack on Mycroft. I had some trouble installing it before the conference, so that seemed like a good place to start: get that fixed and then do something to help the next person avoid the issue. This turned out to take a while, though, and I found a few more issues along the way. The team turned out to be all dudes, and I wasn't getting a great sense of open-source-ness, so I wandered away mid-morning.
I spent the rest of the day hacking on Project Mesa, an agent-based modeling tool. This ticked a few boxes for me: Python-3 only, science-related, and not one of the "major" frameworks like Pandas or NumPy. I worked on some issues around random-number generator seeding (so that interesting or buggy runs can be re-created), and refactoring the examples to follow the new best practices for models. I learned a bit about agent-based modeling, Jupyter notebooks, and how a library like this gets used to do science. And I got to meet a bunch of interesting people, which is really the best reward!
It's worth noting that last week, Mozilla Science held its Global Sprint, a distributed version of the same idea. I got a chance to work on another science-related tool there, phageParser.

Standridge discusses prescription drug reforms with parent support group
Sen. Rob Standridge
Sen. Rob Standridge recently spoke to the Norman chapter of Parents Helping Parents, an organization that provides support and resources for parents whose children are struggling with addiction. Standridge, also a pharmacist, last year authored legislation strengthening the state's prescription monitoring program.
The Norman Republican said organizations like Parents Helping Parents are building invaluable support networks to combat the spread of addiction.
"State leaders are increasingly acknowledging the reality of Oklahoma's problem with prescription drug abuse, but I have always believed the most important reforms we can make are within our homes and communities," said Standridge. "That's where groups like this are so important – they provide education, support, and build the kind of community networks that can make a real difference. Parents in Norman who are dealing with the challenge of addiction have a place to turn for help."
Standridge discussed recent legislative efforts to combat the spread of prescription drug abuse, in addition to measures he will introduce in the coming legislative session. Standridge has filed Senate Bill 1267, to require registration of pain management clinics, and Senate Bill 1243, which would strengthen regulations on controlled substances in nursing homes.
Standridge also addressed the "Take as Prescribed" campaign recently unveiled by Gov. Mary Fallin and state leaders. The plan will increase the number of drug disposal drop boxes and prescription medical lock boxes available in Oklahoma communities, among other initiatives.
"I'm confident these reforms are a strong step toward addressing this problem at the state government level," Standridge said. "I'm very grateful to see the governor and state leaders step forward with a plan that not only addresses the issue, but sends a message of support to Oklahoma families. Prescription drug abuse has become a pressing concern in our state, and it's time for us to move the issue to the forefront of our agenda in the Legislature."
Sen. Standridge: (405) 521-5535

Streamlabs OBS is the most popular streaming app for many streaming platforms, including Twitch, Mixer and YouTube.
One of the most common issue users report is when Streamlabs OBS is dropping frames. This may happen due to hardware that doesn't meet the requirements to run the application. But, usually it's related to the connection to the server. This might not be stable or your Internet connection can't keep up with your set bitrate.
If you drop too many frames, you may be disconnected from the streaming server. You need a solution to fix the root cause of Streamlabs OBS dropping frames – your Internet connection issues.
See how easy it is to enjoy stable Internet with plenty of bandwidth, low latency and low packet loss.
Why Does OBS Drop Frames?
The only reason you're seeing OBS dropped frames is the connectivity you have to the streaming platform's ingest server. Otherwise put, streaming platforms do not drop frames for any other reason than network congestion – read more technical details of what frame drops are here on Github.
Finding a solution to network congestion (be it on the part of the server you stream to, or on your side) will solve the OBS dropped frames issues.
Change the ingest server you're streaming to – switching to another server sometimes solves this. Remember: the "closest" or "lowest ping" server isn't always the most reliable. If you're live streaming on Twitch, use TwitchTest to find the server you have the best bandwidth to and the maximum bit rate you can stream. It's recommended to choose a server with a quality score of at least 80 for a stable live streaming experience.
Try another streaming service and see if you get the same "dropped frames" issues. If it's Twitch that gives headaches, try streaming on YouTube; if Streamlabs OBS is still dropping frames, then the culprit is most probably your Internet connection.
Still seeing Streamlabs OBS dropping frames?
You can fix Streamlabs OBS dropping frames easily in a matter of minutes with Speedify. It fixes network congestion and allows you to live stream online without any hassles.
Speedify is a bonding VPN service that allows you to combine multiple Internet connections at the same time into one super pipe for increased bandwidth and reliability.
If you're having bandwidth issues with your Internet connection, you can toss other connections in the mix (public WiFi nearby, cellular, tethered phone, etc.) and combine them with Speedify.
If you have high latency (lag) to Twitch, YouTube or Mixer servers, you can select a Speedify server that's fastest and improve that lag.
If you get high packet loss or jitter, Speedify's fast error correction features (that works even with just one Internet connection!) instantly detects when a network packet has been lost. Then, it resends it before the Internet protocol realizes that, preventing network congestion before it occurs.
You will enjoy the combined speed and stability of all your connections. If one of them disappears or disconnects Speedify will instantly and seamlessly shift your streaming to the other working connection(s) without skipping a beat.
With a very simple user interface, but powerful capabilities, Speedify can easily be used successfully by streamers. Both occasional ones on Facebook, YouTube, Twitch and also by professional broadcasters such as vloggers, gamers, reporters in the field etc.
Speedify is perfect when you've got access to 2 or more Internet connections while streaming on Twitch, YouTube or Mixer. Combinations include WiFi & Cellular on your smartphone and WiFi & wired Ethernet on your computer. Its bonding VPN core makes the difference and at only $50 per year for a subscription, versus thousands of dollars on dedicated bonding hardware. We believe it's time to upgrade and complete your live streaming setup with a future-proof tool for fast and reliable Internet!


Businesses and organizations in general have plenty of data related to their work, which piles up over the years. This is not something that the organizations would prefer, however, it does tend to happen in the long run; for instance sales figures are not found through research, but are a natural byproduct of sales themselves. However, to make use of them is the job of a data analyst, and when you are equipped with tools such as microstrategy, you can efficiently create diverse data illustrations.
In the modern day and age, businesses and organizations exist in a much more diverse marketplace than they did half a century ago, and it has become even more important to make use of advanced data tools such as Microstrategy training, to stay one step ahead of the game. Nowadays, markets are no longer only physical, due to the increasing usage of Internet; marketplaces have truly become global, attracting clients and customers from all over the world. This is equally true for consumers and now we have the option to purchase goods and services from anywhere around the globe.
Due to such advancements in technology and the changes that have been brought about, organizations are now operating at a much larger scale. Data organization itself is a slow and time consuming task. Compiling data into useful information can be tedious and tricky, and with the overwhelming amount of data that we have today, this task would take far too long, whilst also becoming prone to errors. If the procedure of organizing raw data into useful information takes so long that the information, when presented, has become outdated and can no longer be used, then that defeats the purpose of the data analysis. With microstrategy training these time consuming chores can be done much faster and more accurately.
Microstrategy training is a global phenomenon that is making a difference to companies from all fields of work. Today multinational companies and even government run organizations are all making use of this fantastic data illustration tool, in order to more efficiently and accurately display their data reports. Companies have quickly understood that this is the tool they need, in order to stay ahead of the competition.
Microstrategy training is certainly worth a lot, and if you want to add something extra to your resume, you could consider microstrategy training. It is a valuable skill and is very easy to learn. If you want to invest in yourself, a microstrategy training course could be a wise investment. There are several course options, ranging from a basic beginner course to those that cover the entire software in detail, teaching you the more advanced aspects of the software.
Microstrategy training has countless benefits for organizations, as it outputs information, and that information can be used to make decisions and forecasts. As companies from all over the world are using it, this job market is plentiful and should not remain unexplored.
For anyone who educates themselves about microstrategy training, they can be confident that finding work related to this field will not be a problem, and in fact, you may find yourself in a position where you are choosing the place you want to work, rather than going for the first job you find.

Your Godzilla hot takes
Titan of Water
Say your Godzilla hot takes. Here are some of mine. Keep in mind some of mine might not be hot takes to other people:
1. The Ghidorah 1964 movie turned Godzilla and Rodan into childish babies both in appearance and behavior
2. The main character from Ebirah is one of the worst written characters in the series
3. Hedorah is as pretentious as Taylor Swift's "Style" music video
4. Godzilla 1984 and Tokyo SOS are great movies with great characters.
5. Godzilla 2014 is a good movie that's better than KOTM.
6. Kong deserves to win Godzilla vs Kong.
7. Legendary Godzilla is a spoiled brat that needs to be knocked down a peg by Kong.
8. Every single dub in the franchise is bad
9. Anime Ghidorah is the best Ghidorah design
10. Godzilla 2000's characters are bland, generic, and/or poorly acted.
Angering the Godzilla fan base one take at a time

Pretty hot in here.
Yoshimura?
"'Nostalgic' does not equal 'good,' and 'standards' does not equal 'elitism.'" "Being offended is inevitable. Living offended is your choice."
-Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II is overrated. It's not a bad movie overall, but it just isn't as good as everyone else made it out to be. On that note, Aoki is a moron who breaks into a government lab and steals one of their samples, is away from his post during a crisis, kidnaps one of his superiors in a parking garage, and can't come up with a good pickup line to save his life.
-The Millennians from Godzilla 2000 need more love. They're one of the few–if not only–sentient alien races in the Godzilla franchise to not have a humanoid form or disguise themselves as such, and it's honestly a pity that the Anime Trilogy didn't try to get a little more creative with their alien race designs in an animated medium.
-Kiryu is the best Mechagodzilla. He feels a lot more balanced out than incarnations before or since, and he actually has a good reason to be built in Godzilla's image. And the cyborg angle is more interesting and plausible than being a straight-up robot.
-Ghidorah didn't start getting really good until maybe Rebirth of Mothra 3. Up until then, he was an overrated bully who fled with his tails between his legs when things went south and then spent both the Showa and Heisei era getting controlled by every alien and their mother. And the Futurians too. The character wouldn't begin to get good until he got his autonomy back.
-KOTM's story and characters actually aren't all that bad. It's kinda clumsy in places like pacing and certain dialogue, and of course it isn't the best thing in the world, but it's actually decent overall. The characters are actually characters and not blank slates that the camera follows around like 2014's were, and Emma's crazy scheme and its subsequent failure is the perfect summation of "The arrogance of Man is thinking nature is in their control, and not the other way around".
-In relation to above, even if KOTM's fight scenes still cut away, they're better than 2014's. The difference lies in geography and time. 2014's cuts either go all the way to the aftermath of the attacks or fights, or cut to people doing something else down the road or miles away. By contrast, KOTM only cuts away to things that are going on in the midst of the battle, and makes sure that the characters are right at the center of the action. And by extension, so is the audience.
-The Anime Godzilla is more of a GINO (Godzilla In Name Only) than Zilla. Anime!Godzilla is a hyper-evolved metallic plant with electromagnetic abilities. At least Zilla is still a radioactive mutation.
@G.H Gman no, Ryota

"Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II is overrated."
Woof. No argument there.
"Anime!Godzilla is a hyper-evolved metallic plant with electromagnetic abilities. At least Zilla is still a radioactive mutation."
Yo chief. Last we spoke you hadn't even watched the anime. Might want to slow your roll before you call foul on it not having anything to do with nuclear bombs.
Watching a movie > Looking up random factoids out-of-context on the internet/youtube videos.
Yoshimura was a really good character. But isn't Ryota the main one?
I guess I'll take a go.
GMK isn't that good to me. I don't think it's one of the worst films in the franchise anymore but I still don't really enjoy it
Mothra vs Godzilla has a bad final fight where out of nowhere there's school children that need saving just to give the characters something to do.
Godzilla's Revenge isn't the worst Godzilla movie
Neither is Godzilla vs SpaceGodzilla
I'll probably think of some more later
Im Durp "Mothra vs Godzilla has a bad final fight where out of nowhere there's school children that need saving just to give the characters something to do."
I don't remember that. But then, it's been a while since I saw the movie.
GiganAdmin4830 XPFeb-20-2020 12:05 PMTeam Ghidorah
Titan of Water,
Yoshimura takes over as the lead once introduced. Takarada got top billing.
Gomi: Ninja Monster
Hmm, do I have any takes that haven't been mentioned already...
Mechagodzilla City was a brilliant idea, just terribly executed. Same goes for every new take on the kaiju in the anime trilogy.
M.O.G.U.E.R.A. is cool.
I think that's it.
Huh, sorry. Well, Yoshimura is a great character.
Everything I could think of right now...
- King Kong vs. Godzilla has one of the best aesthetics in the whole Godzilla franchise as far as visuals. The crisp grey/blue color palet and the symmetry is nice to look at.
- Godzilla 2014 had a better buildup with a better payoff than Godzilla 2. KotM had a fun end battle, but the chaos and unbelievability kind of takes away from the grounded world that was astablished in the first film. The handheld cinematography is shaky and chaotic when it focuses on the humans and too close to the monsters to get a good look at what is going on. Also, although the battle is well lit in the first half of the fight (my favorite part of the fight), its color palet eventually gets so murky, wet, and gross by the end of it that I wish Ghidorah would just cease to have storm making abilities.
- Godzilla 2014's screen time was managed well. Yes, he should have maybe gotten about 2 to 3 more minutes in the second act, but his presence is felt throughout the first act, creating an anxiety and craving in the audience, wanting to get a good look at this force of nature. When we finally do see him, the scene cuts, causing frustration while also making the end battle all the more fresh and exciting.
- The laser beams that come from shin Godzilla's back and tail work well and are a good addition to his powers. They make sense within the context of the film, as well as just add to the overall vibe and feel of Godzilla.
- Joe Brody is a better character than Serizowa, and (Spoiler Warning for G14) he could have been a great long running character in the Monsterverse if it weren't for his death.
King Godzilla65
1. Godzilla vs Astro-Monster(1964) had one of the best 5 Godzillian designs.
2. Gojira is a dark movie, but it probably one of the best
3. Godzilla 2: King Of The Monsters doesn't deserve the rating it got(everyone who wasn't a Godzilla/monster fan whom poorly rated it doesn't know how to listen, Dougherty said it was catering to the Godzilla fans—not the average joe)
4. both Godzilla 1964 movies are some of the best in the franchise, top 10 at least.
5. Godzilla 2: King Of The Monsters is better than the other American Godzilla movies(only wish the humane plot wasn't so "cringe-worthy")
6. Godzilla cannot die in Godzilla vs King, because why would Toho lend the listening for their ambassador to be killed off before giving their rights back(then again Batman Vs Superman happened)
7. Legendary Godzilla is the most badass of the Godzillians
8. Kong confirmed to use a tree against Godzilla in 2020 is probably the most awesome fan-wanted reference to be added to a movie ever
9. RPO's MechaGodzilla had the best design, I hope GVK will is something very similar.
10. the Godzilla Vs Megagarius fight was a laughable battle
KingSalomonMMIV "the chaos and unbelievability kind of takes away from the grounded world that was astablished in the first film."
I view it as an escalation. The world we know is vanishing in the face of the Titans' reemergence, and a new world of strange things is rising in its wake.
"its color palet eventually gets so murky, wet, and gross by the end of it that I wish Ghidorah would just cease to have storm making abilities."
I personally could take it, and I just see it as a further example of Ghidorah's mere presence being a blight on the world. But then again, it seems like I have a lot more tolerance towards it than most other people. Or maybe I'm just an idiot. xD
"his presence is felt throughout the first act, creating an anxiety and craving in the audience, wanting to get a good look at this force of nature."
Oh, definitely. The build-up to his first-appearance in Honolulu was one of my favorite parts in the whole thing.
King Godzilla65 "Gojira is a dark movie, but it probably one of the best"
This isn't a hot take. This is fact.
"Godzilla 2: King Of The Monsters doesn't deserve the rating it got(everyone who wasn't a Godzilla/monster fan whom poorly rated it doesn't know how to listen, Dougherty said it was catering to the Godzilla fans—not the average joe)"
I won't argue with you there. :)
"only wish the humane plot wasn't so "cringe-worthy"
I don't think the plot was "cringe-worthy". I think the basic plot is good, but there are details that definitely needed improvement. But I wouldn't call it "cringe-worthy". I don't really call anything "cringe-worthy".
"RPO's MechaGodzilla had the best design"
Kiryu would like a word with you. xD
King Godzilla65,
I don't think any of yours are particularly hot takes. I'd say the fandom at large would tend to agree.
BaragonMember171 XPFeb-21-2020 10:50 AM
I tolorate it as well. I still enjoy the battle for the most part, but I feel like there could have been certain changes done to the sequence that would enhance the cinematic experience for me. If you like the battle more than G14's, that's understandable; the two movies have different styles of filmmaking, and I just happen to preffer one over the other for those specific reasons.
I like the more grounded approach of G14 better than the fantastical approach in KotM, simply because it makes me believe something like that could really happen. However, you may be right that the more other-worldly experience in Godzilla 2 adds escalation to the experience.
TitanosaurusMember616 XPFeb-21-2020 1:07 PM
KingSalomonMMIV "I like the more grounded approach of G14 better than the fantastical approach in KotM, simply because it makes me believe something like that could really happen."
I like both approaches. 2014 for it's more grounded tone, and KOTM for the way it basically goes "giant monsters are real now. Deal with it.".
What I hope for Godzilla vs. Kong is for a kind of balance between the two.
Yes, hopefully GvK is a mix of the two. G14's battle would have been better if it was well lit (or at least a bit lighter than it was in the film). I'd like it if the fight is like G14's (but a bit more balls off the walls) with the futuristic-like neon lights from Hong Kong.
KingSalomonMMIV "I'd like it if the fight is like G14's (but a bit more balls off the walls) with the futuristic-like neon lights from Hong Kong."
From the production photos and some leaks I've heard, it seems like that'll be the case.
Like Pacific Rim's Hong Kong fight, but with no rain.

RodanMember1789 XPFeb-21-2020 2:54 PM
Shin Godzilla's human parts arent THAT boring.
Zwei Wing is the best singing duo. Change my mind.
I didn't think they were boring at all. But that's probably cause I like politics.
BaragonMember437 XPFeb-23-2020 6:41 PMTeam Godzilla
The 1998 Godzilla is better than people give it credit for and is by no means the worst in the series
Orga is an underrated Kaiju
Look upon my works, you mighty, and despair
GiganMember3925 XPFeb-23-2020 7:43 PMTeam Mothra
In Ike Broflovski's voice: Its mai tuurn!
I think Godzilla vs King Ghidorah is the worse Godzilla movie ever: Time Traveling plot that makes no sense, the weird Steven Spielberg reference, and that stupid flamboyant android-thingy
I like Godzilla 1998
Monsterverse is my favorite Godzilla continuity
Shin Godzilla makes a better Mock-Godzilla villain in vein of Space Godzilla, Biollante, Orga, and Mechagodzilla than a bonafide Godzilla
G98/Zilla could have been a good scientifically accurate Godzilla if they would have kept the traditional godzilla atomic breath and personality
Resurgence "Orga is an underrated Kaiju"
Oh, I agree.
Xenotaris "Monsterverse is my favorite Godzilla continuity"
Might as well. Though I figure I rattle these these off all the time:
- There's only been 2-3 truly good Godzilla movies since 1989.
- All Monsters Attack is better than all of the 1990s movies.
- The Monsterverse has evolved into a by-the-numbers missed opportunity that does nothing new with the franchise.
- King of the Monsters '19 is a bottom 10 Godzilla flick.
- Monsterverse Godzilla makes a better Gamera than Godzilla.
- G'98 is a cringe inducing example of bad 1990s filmmaking tossed in a blender, "Godzilla" in the title or not.
- Outside of Honda, Fukuda was the best and, more directly, most resourceful director of the franchise.
- Rodan is a fine film, but overrated.
- On the flip side, Giant Monster Varan is incredibly underrated.
- No kaiju film has been as good as Gamera 3: The Revenge of Iris since it was released.
- Scientific accuracy has no place in this genre.
- The Anime Trilogy isn't too shabby and is easier to rewatch than the Monsterverse or the 1990s flicks.
- Pacific Rim is the best giant monster movie Legendary has released.
- Tsuburaya Productions, and their Ultraman output, is the most creative example of the genre this era. ("Era" being a fairly broad term, so we'll say over the last decade.)
G. H. (Gman) Not even gonna try to debate the MonsterVerse stuff. That's all water under the bridge at this point.
"- G'98 is a cringe inducing example of bad 1990s filmmaking tossed in a blender, "Godzilla" in the title or not."
It's funny. For the longest time, I never really liked it when people applied the term "cringe" to movies. I just like the term was never truly felt like it was applicable to cinematic entertainment (outside of maybe something really gory), and that it was just the product of an extremely passionate movie culture.
Then I actually saw 1998, and I suddenly got it.
"- Scientific accuracy has no place in this genre."
This is fact.
Also, some new hot takes of my own.
-Reijiro Koroku's soundtrack for The Return of Godzilla is underrated.
-James Bannon's 1989 Godzilla 2 draft, featuring Godzilla facing an army of machines run by an advanced supercomputer, actually sounds like a really cool idea.
-Speaking of machines, Berserk should have been the Heisei Mechagodzilla. He would've been a lot more interesting than what we got...
I forgot some so I guess this is round 2.
Legendary Godzilla's design isn't anything special
Ghidorah, Mothra, MechaGodzilla and to some degree Rodan should go on a long hiatus from appearing in a G movie again.
Kong Skull Island is the best movie in the Monsterverse so far
Godzilla vs Mothra 92 is an underrated Heisei movie.
Godzilla Save The Earth is the best Godzilla game we've gotten.
I don't mind the monsterverse ending with Godzilla vs Kong
The anime trilogy was probably the biggest wasted potential I've seen in the series.
BaragonMember437 XPFeb-24-2020 9:42 AMTeam Godzilla
"Godzilla Save The Earth is the best Godzilla game we've gotten."
that's a straight up fact
Yeah, I was a little on the fence if that was a hot take but I didn't know if the Unleashed crowd grew a little or the newest one actually had a huge following in the fanbase.
"the newest one actually had a huge following in the fanbase."
I would say those who like the latest one are few and far between.


This recipe is a variation of Attila Hildman's recipe in his book Vegan For Youth. I changed some things, like making a Spinach Pesto instead of parsley (because i absolutely hate the taste of parsley -.-), and my wrap dough didn't turn out as nice as his because it broke when we tried to roll it up, but it was still super tasty!
* you can just grind the buckwheat groats to flour - i simply use my blender for that, it works great!
First, make the buckwheat "pancakes". Whisk buckwheat flour, turmeric, salt and water in a bowl and set aside for about 10 minutes.
In the meantime, prepare the "pesto". Wash and chop the spinach leaves and blend along with the remaining pesto ingredients using a food processor, a high-speed blender or an immersion blender. You can serve this in sandwiches, on bread, with pasta, or as a topping for thickly sliced heirloom tomatoes, too!
TIP: instead of spinach, you could also use basil or ramson or even sundried tomatoes!
Back to the "pancakes". Lightly grease your skillet with olive oil, and heat up. Then scoop your batter onto the skillet using a spoon or a small ladle - aim for 3-4 tablespoons per pancake -, and quickly but gently spread out so the pancakes will be even and not as thick. On medium-low heat, bake for about 2 minutes, then flip, and repeat on the other side. I got 4 pancakes out if this! So two for each.
Last but not least: combine. Wash and chop your veggies. I'm using spinach (use baby spinach!), avocado, tomato, red bell pepper and sundried tomatoes, but you can go for whatever you prefer. Take your wrap pancake and spread some "aioli" bean cream on it. Then place your veggies (spinach first, then the rest), maybe add a batch of pesto on top, and wrap it up carefully. That's it! You got your vegan, gluten-free wrap!

Solar in Virginia
Comments Off on Solar in Virginia
By adminSCC
People in Virginia are increasingly looking at solar panels to solve their electricity needs. After all, Virginians have the 7th highest monthly electricity bills in the entire country, averaging just over $133 dollars per month.
Solar energy in Virginia is popular for another reason. Savvy homeowners know that 14 percent of the state's electricity is powered by coal and nearly 1/3, 30 percent is powered by nuclear generators. Both are definitely a priority to stop in the future if the Joe Biden administration has its way.
And if both coal generators and nuclear generators were stopped in Virginia? Estimates are that the $133 monthly bill might turn into a $200 monthly bill in hurry.
There is a second reason solar power Virginia is on the fast track right now. As solar companies in Virginia like to point out, the Federal Tax Credits for creating a new solar system are rapidly dwindling.
In 2019, the Federal Tax Credit was 30 percent. As of the end of December of this year, the tax credit drops to 26 percent, and if, as most people reading this will be affected, the 2021 tax credit is 22 percent.
So, assuming a Virginia resident wants to completely cut his energy bill down to zero, how big a solar system will he need?
As the average Virginian uses 1117 kilowatts per month, your average homeowner might get away with a 9-kilowatt solar panel system, but on average a homeowner will typically need a 10-kilowatt system to make up that entire 1117 kilowatts per month.
So how much is a 10-kilowatt system? Naturally, it varies, but a good benchmark is $2.90 per watt. So a 10-kilowatt system will, in general, be around $29,000 before the Federal Tax Credits are applied.
Breaking it down further, the cost of the same system, after-tax r rebates, would roughly $22,600.
Assuming a yearly electricity bill of $1600 ($133 x 12) it would take a little over 14 years to pay off your electrical bill and then be free of electrical bills for the next 10 to 15 years. Assuming the former, you would save roughly $16,000, and if the latter, $24,000.
Of course, it's not exactly that simple. For one thing, Solar Panels in Virginia, as elsewhere do suffer what is called degradation.
Degradation happens when solar panels develop minute irregularities after being exposed to the environment.
A survey of The National Renewable Energy Laboratory of 2,000 solar panel systems across the globe reveals that on average, solar panels degrade at .4 percent per year.
So if you have a 10-year-old system, your panels would be generating 96 percent of their capacity. At 20-years old, the system would be down to 92 percent capacity.
At 30 years of age, the system would be functioning at 88 percent of capacity.
So a person buying a solar system with sufficient kilowatts may go completely without any bills for 20 years, and at 30 years he might use perhaps $30 to $50.00 per month.
All of this is based on the idea that electricity bills stay around the same amount. Not only on average, do bills go up 1.5 percent per year, but if coal and nuclear were taken out of the Virginia equation, prices could skyrocket as much as 30 percent or more in 10 years.
There is also a second aspect of solar ownership in Virginia. According to Zillow, a solar unit boosts the price of a home by 4.1 percent.
For most Virginia residents, that's an extra $12,000 when they sell their home. It may not be a dollar for dollar return on what you invested but if you add that to living electricity-free for several years, it comes darn close.
And, you can be sure that when your house comes with the added benefit of practically free electricity for the new owner, it makes a house much easier to sell.
This year, the last part of 2020 and 2021 is the time to fully explore solar panels for your home in Virginia. The tax rebate is still 26 percent for the latter part of 2020, and a respectable 22 percent for 2021. However. for residential homeowners, the tax credit completely disappears in 2022.
So if the idea of the Federal Government helping you to pay for your solar panel system to the tune of several thousand dollars, don't wait too long. Not only will the tax credit disappear in 2022, but those who wait for next November or December may find that there is a sudden rush on solar panels and it's not possible to complete before the expiration date.
Remember, the tax credit applies to when you finish the completed solar install, not to when you start it.

So what do they mean by Planning Modernisation?
Since 'whenever' planning controls carry the critical power on decisions for any proposed changes to our urban and rural environment. It is therefore perhaps no surprise that the Scottish Executive has focused on ways to "modernise" the planning system since its very inception. Whilst sometimes seeming like a science that only trained planners can understand, in the name of democracy, it is incumbent on us all to play a part in the ongoing consultation exercises.
The Planning White Paper, published June 2005, sets out the proposals that will be included in the forthcoming Planning (Scotland) Bill that is expected to start going through the Scottish Parliament at the close of 2005. As stated on the Scottish Executive website, this Bill "will have a significant impact on the future of the planning system in Scotland".
For development planning, the 2-tier system will be replaced by a single level of development plans with an additional level of strategic plans of the 4 major city regions. A dichotomy appears when you compare the Scottish Executive website statement that the proposed changes "will also improve public involvement in planning, creating a more transparent and accountable system and be fair to everyone" with the Everyone campaign's very informative website www.everyone.org. The latter advises that the Scottish Executive chose to ignore the 86% majority, that they themselves gathered, that voted in favour of including a Third Party Right of Appeal. The excellent Everyone website advises that such countries as Sweden, Ireland, New Zealand and Australia chose to keep the TPRA (yes, it's own acronym!) and did not experience "the myths" that the Scottish Executive would appear to fear.
The White Paper also proposes a National Planning Framework where national strategic decisions on major projects will not be open to public challenge or enquiry. The Everyone website includes an e-petition that calls for the TPRA to be included and the restrictions on the National Planning Framework to be scrapped. On the face of it both aspects point to the development of a dictator state quite at odds with the soothing introductory rhetoric on the Scottish Executive website. The e-petition closes on the 31st October and NEMT members are strongly encouraged to participate!
Thus whilst accepting that we do need to avoid a system that builds in endless delays and appeals before any, possibly badly needed, facilities can get off the ground - we do need to know that democracy is getting more than just lip service. One solution is to actively encourage public involvement at the embryonic stage of any new "major projects". Say a waste disposal facility is required within a defined geographical area in order to incorporate the proximity principal, the public, once aware of the parameters, can be encouraged to participate in choosing an appropriate solution that does not accommodate exclusive nimby-ism. This same approach makes the case for an over-arching Scottish Energy Policy for Scotland that integrates the renewable and non-renewable energy sources. There is a lot at stake here and I often wonder why it is not better covered by the mainstream press.

El Efecto Bruselas () es un término acuñado en 2012 por la profesora Anu Bradfrod de Columbia Law School y nombrado según el similar "Efecto California" que puede ser visto en los Estados Unidos (EE.UU.). La tesis de Bradford es que la fuerza de la Unión Europea (UE) radica en su capacidad de crear un marco regulador común.

En 2020, al inicio de la pandemia de COVID-19, Bradford publicó The Brussels Effect: How the European Union Rules the World, un libro en el que explica por qué es la UE -y no Estados Unidos o China- quien domina el mundo a través de la externalización involuntaria de regulaciones mediante los mecanismos globalizadores del mercado. Con este término, la autora insiste en que con sus leyes, la UE acaba influyendo más a nivel mundial que EE. UU. con su poder militar o China con sus proyectos en el extranjero.

Causa

La combinación del tamaño y la importancia del mercado interior de la Unión Europea, estándares relativamente estrictos y la capacidad reguladora puede tener el efecto de que las empresas que comercian internacionalmente vean que no es económicamente, legalmente o técnicamente práctico mantener estándares más bajos en mercados fuera de la UE. Las compañías que no son de la UE que exportan globalmente, pueden ver que es beneficioso adoptar los estándares puestos en Bruselas uniformemente en lugar de aplicar distintos estándares para diferentes mercados.

Carrera arriba y carrera hacia el abismo

El Efecto California y el Efecto Bruselas son una forma de "carrera arriba" donde el estándar más estricto apela a las compañías que operan a través de múltiples entornos reguladores ya que hace la producción global y exportación más fácil. Los efectos son los opuestos del Efecto Delaware, una carrera hacia el abismo dónde las jurisdicciones pueden elegir bajar sus requisitos reguladores en un intento de atraer los negocios que buscan los estándares menos estrictos.

Ejemplos

Antimonopolio

La propuesta adquisición de Honeywell (basado en EE.UU.) por  en octubre de 2000 por General Electric (también basado en EE.UU.) fue bloqueada por las autoridades antimonopolísticas de la UE con el motivo de arriesgar un monopolio horizontal en motores a reacción. La fusión no podía proceder porque, a pesar de que el Departamento de Justicia estadounidense ya aprobó la fusión entre estas dos entidades basadas en EE.UU., no era legalmente posible de dejar la adquisición proceder en un mercado importante, pero no en otro.

Sustancias químicas

La Multinacional basada en EE.UU. Dow Chemical anunció en 2006 que cumpliría con la normativa de registro, evaluación, autorización y restricción de sustancias químicas de la UE para la producción y uso de sustancias químicas a través de su operación global.

Emisiones de aviones

En 2012 la UE incluyó la aviación al existente Régimen de Comercio de Derechos de Emisión de la Unión Europea. Esto significa que cualquier aerolínea, sin importar su país de origen, tiene que comprar permisos de emisiones para cualquier vuelo dentro del Espacio Económico Europeo (EEE). El coste de cumplir con las regulaciones de emisión de aviación de la UE pone presión en fabricantes para diseñar aviones con eficacia mejorada y emisiones reducidas. Ya que no es probable que grandes aerolíneas compren aviones específicamente para volar fuera del EEE, los estándares de aviación más estrictos de la UE tienen un impacto en flotas de avión global, sin importar la jurisdicción de la aerolínea.

Protección de datos y privacidad

Con la introducción de la Directiva de Protección de Datos en 1995, la UE optó por un estricto enfoque en la protección de datos personales. Su sucesor, el Reglamento General de Protección de Datos de la UE (RGPD), fue adoptado el 14 de abril de 2016 y tuvo un efecto global. En 2017, durante negociaciones para un Tratado comercial EU-Japón, Japón montó una agencia independiente para manejar quejas de violaciones de la intimidad para cumplir con la nueva regulación de privacidad de la UE.

Facebook anunció en abril de 2018 que implementaría partes del RGPD globalmente. Sonos Anunció en abril de 2018 que implementaría el RGPD globalmente, y Microsoft anunció en mayo de 2018 que implementaría cumplimiento del RGPD para todos sus clientes globalmente.

Acogida
Los académicos no han podido aún verificar empíricamente los límites del Efecto Bruselas en ley internacional, especialmente leyes de la Organización Mundial del Comercio.  Además, para que ocurra el efecto de Bruselas, se ha mostrado que no todos los prerrequisitos identificados por Bradford tienen que ocurrir cumulativamente. Investigaciones han indicado que el poder regulatorio de la UE varía sustancialmente según el contexto de la regulación implicada.

Luck's on Your Table - performed by Sharon O'Neill
Sharon O'Neill performs her first single 'Luck's on Your Table' on this television clip from 1978. O'Neill's composition was the one that won over the New Zealand arm of CBS Records, who signed her as their first local act the same year. By the time O'Neill appeared on this Ready to Roll awards special, she'd already gained experience before the television cameras, miming cover versions of overseas hits for Ready to Roll. This time O'Neill performs amidst assembled plants at Avalon TV studios, with a flower in her hair. O'Neill's debut album This Heart This Song emerged the following year.

I Am Worried About Kamala Harris's Arch Support
Image: Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images (Getty Images)
Kamala Harris has a signature campaign look: classic Converse tennis shoes, which—questions of policy aside—I cannot dispute look absolutely sharp as hell. However: aren't her feet absolutely killing her? Because Chuck Taylors look good, but they aren't exactly known for their arch support, and if I spent all day barnstorming around the country in them, I would quickly be hobbling and crying.
The Washington Post reported, "By Tuesday morning, videos by two reporters witnessing her arrival had been viewed nearly 8 million times on Twitter—for comparison's sake, more than four times the attention the campaign's biggest planned video event, a conversation between Joe Biden and Barack Obama, had received on both Twitter and YouTube combined." The campaign has embraced them as a signature, with Harris's sister confirming they're her go-to and her official account reporting she's "laced up and ready to win." While Harris has been wearing Converses for a long time, they're now part of her campaign iconography, a way to project a sport of sporty fitness for the job, in contrast with Trump and demonstrating her readiness to support her older running mate.
All that is well and good, but Converses really aren't that great for covering a significant amount of ground! Yes, they're better than pumps, and they were a major advance in athletic shoe technology when they were introduced in the 1920s as a basketball shoe, and they remained popular with pro players into the 1960s. I personally wore a pair of blue Chucks for much of high school, and they are still in the back of the closet in my childhood bedroom because I cannot bear to part with them. But these days I can't even wear a flat fashion sandal for more than 15 minutes; a full day on my feet in anything less than a Birkenstock and I feel it all the way up in my shins.
Sources (Jezebel Slack and also this Boston Globe article) tell me that the soles have gotten a revamp since Nike purchased the company, but they still aren't as comfortable as Vans, much less the old-school white Addidas. And there are so many low-profile retro-look sneakers right now! It's not Chuck Taylors or chunky New Balances.
Maybe she's got orthotics in there? Listen, Harris has got a lot of road to cover between now and Election Day, and I just hope she's taking proper care of her feet.
