The edible equivalent of a duvet day – these 4 Deliciously Creamy Dinners are perfect for whenever you feel in need of classic comfort food! Plus find the linky for #CookBlogShare Week 13.
Hoorah! It's finally spring 😀 I hope the weather is suitably spring-like where you are! Here in South East England the weather is positively glorious and looks set to stay like that for the foreseeable future – yay!
I have been a busy little bee since last #CookBlogShare creating 3 new recipes on Easy Peasy Foodie. First up my Irish Lamb Stew and Easy White Soda Bread in honour of St Patricks Day, earlier this month. And then another fabulously easy midweek meal with a twist, my Easy Chicken Stroganoff. The twist being that this stroganoff is made with chicken rather than the usual pork or beef!
Over on Productive Blogging I have also been busy, sharing some practical admin posts on 21 ways to spring clean your blog and How to keep track of your blogging income and expenses.
I've also been continuing my love affair with all things SEO, sharing my tips on How to optimize your blog's site structure for SEO as well as a post on 17 SEO mistakes to avoid in 2019!
SEO is taking up rather a lot of my life at the moment as I have also been working hard on creating my SEO course. I'm pleased to announce that I have finally finished writing the first draft and I've uploaded most of it onto the course platform already. I still have quite a bit of behind the scenes work to do, but I am hoping to be ready to launch in May!
Hands up who loves comfort food? Me, me, me! And this week I was most drawn to these 4 deliciously creamy dinners – perfect for when you need an edible hug!
Only one of these recipes actually contains cream – the others are made creamy with bechamel style sauces. But all of them are wonderfully comforting and I just know they would all go down very well in this house!
First up we have these gorgeous Mini Chicken Pot Pies from Monika at Everyday Healthy Recipes. Aren't they just so cute! And I love the sound of the filling: chicken, asparagus and a wonderful bechamel sauce, pimped up with Dijon mustard, fromage frais and onion granules. All topped off with a delicious lid of crunchy, buttery puff pastry. It sounds so decadent, but actually, because this recipe is made with bechamel not cream, it's much healthier than it sounds!
Sticking with the bechamel theme, we move on to what I consider to be one of the most classic comfort food recipes of all time – Macaroni Cheese! This fab recipe from Claire at She Eats is a bit of a twist on the traditional macaroni cheese recipe, though. Claire doesn't use macaroni, but rather whatever pasta she has on hand, and will often put a handful of peas in too. But the thing I love about Claire's recipe is she has used a mix traditional Lancashire cheeses in her version. I've often played around with the cheeses I use in macaroni cheese, but I've never tried using Lancashire cheese in my mac n cheese before. Now after reading Claire's description, I really want to try it!
Another creamy, cheesy pasta dish, this Cheesy Bacon and Tomato Pasta from Anna at Once Upon A Food Blog is bound to be a winner. I know it would go down very well in this house! The sauce this time is made from a mix of tomatoes and lots of cheese, thickened with a touch of cornflour and flavoured with bacon! I particularly love that it's ready in just 25 minutes – now that's my kind of meal!
The final 'creamy' recipe is the only one which actually contains cream! This delicious Chicken Makhani (AKA butter chicken) from Corina at Searching For Spice sounds so wonderful and comforting: warming spices, a rich tomatoey sauce, diced chicken breast and just a dash of double cream – a little bit decadent, but not too unhealthy! And ready in just 40 minutes. Perfect for a DIY curry night!
If you wish, you can tweet a link to your recipe to me @easypeasyfoodie and also (if you have room on the tweet!) my co-hosts Jacqui @recipecrumbs and Monika @monikasecipes, using the #CookBlogShare hashtag and we will retweet them. You can also post your recipe on the Cook Blog Share Facebook Page.
A pleasure, Corina – I do love a good chicken curry!
Thank you for featuring my humble pies! And thanks for making them sound so delicious! Corina's curry sounds gorgeous, even if it does contain cream (:0) I haven't got a new recipe to link up yet so will be back when I've made one.
A pleasure, Monika – I love your cute little pot pies!
Note to self: don't check out Eb's round ups when you've skipped your lunch – I am soooooo hungry now. These all look amazing and I want you all to come and live with me and be my cooks. Please!
These all look amazing – a creamy dinner is the best sort of dinner in my opinion!
Keep those Productive Blogging posts coming Eb. Despite not having the time to do everything I'd like to, I've learnt a lot and made huge progress. Thank you.
Great round up! I too fell in love with Monika's cute pies and Cheesy Tomato Pasta from Anna. thanks for hosting.
Creamy pasta dishes are my absolute weakness, so I'm loving this round up Eb!! That butter chicken looks absolutely delicious too!
I've been under the weather, so these dishes are exactly what the doctor ordered! Here in Southern Wisconsin, the trees are only just beginning to bud out and the night temperatures still dip into the low 30s. But yesterday was opening day for baseball, which is always a welcome sign that Spring is finally here. In honor of the occasion, I'm sharing an updated post with my Ultimate Chili Cheese Dogs, which badly needed a makeover (now re-photographed and re-SEO'd!). Thanks for hosting and for always being an inspiration, Eb!
Another great choice for a round up Eb.
Thanks for featuring my Cheesy Bacon and Tomato Pasta Eb. All the dishes look gorgeous. I'm really hungry and could totally demolish Claire's Macaroni Cheese right now!

Q: Libevent: multithreading to handle HTTP keep-alive connections I am writing an HTTP reverse-proxy in C using Libevent and I would like to implement multithreading to make use of all available CPU cores.   I had a look at this example: http://roncemer.com/software-development/multi-threaded-libevent-server-example/
In this example it appears that one thread is used for the full duration of a connection, but for HTTP 1.1 I don't think this will be the most effective solution as connections are kept alive by default after each request so that they can be reused later.   I have noticed that even one browser panel can open several connections to one server and keep them open until the tab is closed which would immediately exhaust the thread pool.   For an HTTP 1.1 proxy there will be many open connections but only very few of them actively transferring data at a given moment.
So I was thinking of an alternative, to have one event base for all incoming connections and have the event callback functions delegate to worker threads.   This way we could have many open connections and make use of a thread only when data arrives on a connection, returning it back to the pool once the data has been dealt with.
My question is: is this a suitable implementation of threads with Libevent?
Specifically – is there any need to have one event base per connection as in the example or is one for all connections sufficient?
Also – are there any other issues I should be aware of?
Currently the only problem I can see is with burstiness, when data is received in many small chunks triggering many read events per HTTP response which would lead to a lot of handing-off to worker threads.   Would this be a problem?   If it would be, then it could be somewhat negated using Libevent's watermarking, although I'm not sure how that works if a request arrives in two chunks and the second chunk is sufficiently small to leave the buffer size below the watermark.   Would it then stay there until more data arrives?
Also, I would need to implement scheduling so that a chunk is only sent once the previous chunk has been fully sent.
The second problem I thought of is when the thread pool is exhausted, i.e. all threads are currently doing something, and another read event occurs – this would lead to the read event callback blocking.   Does that matter?   I thought of putting these into another queue, but surely that's exactly what happens internally in the event base.   On the other hand, a second queue might be a good way to organise scheduling of the chunks without blocking worker threads.

On Thursday, Alderman John Arena announced that the Landmark Commission had voted unanimously to allow preliminary landmark status to the Portage Theater. This was a blow for the Chicago Tabernacle, an Albany Park ministry that had plans to turn the Theater into a church. The Theater could still be sold, but the historic nature of its designs would potentially be protected.
Speaking at The Paper Machete last week, Chicagoist's Steven Pate explains the value of the Portage, which he said had "become a kind-of movie nerd's paradise."
Just wondering: have you been to a movie theater in the past 40 years? If so, would you like to revise that agenda? A popcorn and two Cokes will cost you more than a Metal Machine LP in very good plus-plus condition on eBay. You will endure a torturous info-tainment regimine, wherein Channing Tatum wll talk about what GI Joe means to him, and Sprite will convey to you access codes for downloading behind the scenes footage from a 3D Justin Bieber movie. Someone in the seat next to you will be playing Tiny Tower on their iPhone during the movie. Or, let's be real, telling everyone and Facebook that they're sitting next to you?
Is this really an essential component of your perfect day? If not, is it the drugs talking?"

This was our fifth cruise with Royal Caribbean, having sailed on the Navigator twice, the Adventure and the Brilliance of the Seas. Our first three cruises were seven night cruises and we did an 11-night cruise on the Brilliance, visiting the Panama Canal and Costa Rica. While we loved the Voyager class ships, my husband was absolutely taken by the Brilliance of the Seas. He loved the ambiance of this ship and the solarium pool. I had wanted to take the Ultimate Southern Caribbean cruise on the Empress because I really liked the itinerary. My husband was leery of this cruise because he was afraid he would not like the small ship - that he would miss the solarium pool and that the restaurant service and shows would suffer because the number of passengers was so much less than on the larger ships. He worried that we would not enjoy our time at the pool since it would be loud with all of the activities. Well, our trip started out with a minor mishap on the airlines. Our luggage would have been left behind in Philadelphia if we had not had engine difficulties. After a delay of nearly two hours, we taxied back into the gate to pick up 60 bags that had not been loaded. Our bags were in the first 20 onto the carousel at San Juan, so clearly it was in the luggage that was loaded AFTER our delayed take-off.
After we landed in San Juan, we had nothing but wonderful experiences. Our check-in was efficient and speedy. We were in our stateroom within 20 minutes of arriving at the pier. Our junior suite could not compare in size to the one we enjoyed on the Brilliance, but it was beautifully laid out and the new linens on the bed were wonderful! Our next door neighbors were also our table mates in the dining room at the main seating, along with a couple from Sweden. This was the first time we had been seated with an international group and was very enjoyable. We were on the main level of the dining room beside the wonderful aft windows so that we could see the port as we left in the evening. We had a wonderful view of the grand staircase and the revolving white grand piano. The food was excellent and the service was better! The shows were every bit as good as on the large ships. The pool band was excellent, and we could even converse while sitting very close to them. They wore different Jamaican shirts each day, showing the sites of Jamaica.
The itinerary: San Juan -> St. Maarten-> Antigua-> St. Kitt's-> St. Lucia -> Barbados -> Margarita Island -> Curacao-> Aruba-> San Juan. We booked our first three days before we left Toronto, with a day at Orient Beach in St. Maarten, Antigua Highlights by sea and climbing the volcano in St. Kitts. The day at Orient Beach was wonderful (weather, beach, food, tour). As always, there was a strong trade wind, but this keeps you from feeling that it is too hot. The next day in Antigua, we joined our catamaran in St. John's and went all the way around Antigua, stopping at Green Island for swimming/snorkeling and a Bar-B-Q lunch to die for (we had the gray snapper, which is local to Antigua). The crew was amazing and they treated the passengers like royalty. We saw some wonderful sites from the sea. Caution: the portion of the sail on the Atlantic is quite rough, but only one passenger experienced any sea-sickness.
Day Three: we arrived at St. Kitt's and were on the pier at 7:15 to join our group for climbing the volcano. We were really looking forward to the view and photo opportunities from the top of Mt. Liamuiga. Unfortunately, there was significant fog so we got some really good photos of the group and the mist. Other spots on St. Kitts gave us better shots. The rock formations along the coast are nothing short of amazing.
Day 4: St. Lucia. We booked spa time in the morning - better than spectacular- and then wandered around the shops at the pier in the afternoon. There is pretty good shopping right there. We did not venture any further in St. Lucia. In Barbados, we took a coach tour. We touched all but one parish and the highlight was definitely St. John's where we visited an old church and could see the light house where the Atlantic and Caribbean meet.
Day 6 was a sail day and we enjoyed the ship. The activities all take place around the pool and they were quite entertaining. I think I already said that the pool band was stellar. The next day we docked at Margarita Island. As it is a rather short stay we did not book a tour. We went to the market at the pier. There are quite a lot of shops, some restaurants and a couple of beaches. All of the merchants wear identifying shirts. The dogs on the pier were clean and wore flea collars. The local beer was $2 and served ICE-cold. Well worth trying.
Day 8 we were in Curacao. We took the mixed Curacao tour and visited a local artist's home (absolutely breath-taking!), the caves and the slave museum. We had time to walk around Otrabanda and Willemstadt before heading back to the ship.
Day 9 took us to Aruba. We took the beach tour. Again, we had the local beer. Watch the cost of chairs/umbrellas here. Pay attention to your coach driver who will tell you who has the better deals.
Day 10 was our only other sail day. It was windy and cool, but the pool side bar-b-que was wonderful and the pool-side entertainment again was a lot of fun! There were very few children on this cruise, but those we saw were very well-behaved and seemed to be having as much fun as their parents. The cruise director, activities director and their staff were attentive and genuinely cared whether people were having a good experience. We had never tried room service on our other cruises but partook several times on this one. We were very impressed with the food and the service. One morning, when we had order breakfast for 7:00 to 7:30, the phone rang at 7:10. The kitchen was calling to let us know that our tray was on its way. We would not have considered it to be late until after the 7:30 time frame. We were truly sorry to leave for home on day 11, having made some very good friends. Our room steward was almost like family by the end of the cruise.
The things that we missed on a small ship - nothing! The friendliness of the crew and passengers, the cozy atmosphere, the first-class food, service and shows, not to mention the outstanding itinerary - made it a trip to remember as one of the best vacation we have ever experienced. Thank you, Royal Caribbean, for not abandoning the smaller ship experience, even though the trend is to build them ever bigger and more awesome where the ship is clearly the destination. Thank you, Jorge, our cruise consultant for the good advice and the great service! We are cruising on the Explorer in April and taking a transatlantic on the Brilliance in December. We will start 2008 as Diamond Crown & Anchor members. We will keep coming back.

Microsoft pulls support for popular operating systems: How to save your company
You're choosing to leave your company doors wide open to attacks, ransom, and more unless you update your operating systems. This is not a drill.
Our previous newsletter talked over the basics of the EOL, or End of Life, that Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 are coming to. To recap; come January these operating systems are not supported. What does that mean? That hackers have written code and are prepared to launch it come the day of EOL and there's nothing Microsoft will do about it. That means that these new strains of viruses, ransomware and keyloggers are one push of a button away from stopping your business dead in its tracks. Microsoft have given us all plenty of warning about this date, and it is fast approaching.
This is one of the best times to consider moving yourself towards the Cloud. Not only will the integration will be easy and cost efficient, but by moving to cloud your Operating System is always kept up to date, but will be on the latest version as well. You'll never have to worry about upgrading again!
Click here to get started on your free Online Assessment on your Windows 7 or Windows 2008 Server
Will it still be safe to use Windows 7?
The constant evolution of computer viruses and other malware means security updates play a pivotal role in protecting a business's data. Newly identified vulnerabilities will not be patched by Microsoft. Therefore, businesses that choose to continue running Windows 7 beyond this point will be doing so at their own risk. Leaving themselves vulnerable to cyber-attacks.
What's the best route to change?
Implementing positive change can be expensive and time-consuming. To ensure your business experiences an efficient and cost-effective migration to Windows 10, you must understand your options: replace legacy systems with new devices that run Windows 10 or upgrade existing devices with a full version of the software.
Replacing legacy systems
According to Microsoft: "For most Windows 7 users, moving to a new device with Windows 10 will be the recommended path forward. Today's PCs are faster, lightweight, yet powerful and more secure, with an average price that's considerably less than that of the average PC eight years ago."
Upgrading existing devices
Alternatively, it's possible to upgrade compatible Windows 7 PCs by installing a version of the Windows 10 software. This may be the most cost-effective option in the short-term. However, it's worth noting that PCs older than four years often cost more to maintain than a new Windows device.
How to implement your migration project
Avoid a situation where you need service or support that's no longer available, by carefully planning your business's migration to Windows 10. Having decided whether to replace or upgrade existing devices, it's time to devise your implementation strategy.
Common issues to avoid during the migration
Avoid compatibility issues — evaluate the compatibility of Windows 10 with your business's applications — these might include accounting, HR, CRM, and ERP. Despite being the most compatible version of Windows ever, take the time to coordinate with your application vendors to confirm their compatibility and avoid disruption further down the line. Applications that need upgrading should be tested separately prior to the upgrade to minimize user impact.
Avoid post migration issues — mitigate against potential post migration issues by implementing a strategic plan for each application. Adopting a proactive approach to your Windows 10 migration will help ensure a smooth user experience.
Avoid integration issues — some applications may require integration setup — this might include Outlook and CRM integration on the client PCs, browser add-ins and Office application plugins. To prevent any disruption, setup processes should be tested when upgrading to Windows 10.
Unsupported applications — although some applications may not be supported by Windows 10, this does not rule out an upgrade. For example, a legacy application can be replaced with a new Cloud-based solution.
Taking the time to implement your business's migration to Windows 10 in a considered and well-planned manner will ensure a smooth transition for users and reduce risk.

Valentine Warner collects crayfish by hand to cook a beautiful pike quenelle with crayfish sauce.
Remove the meat from the crayfish tails and set aside.
Heat some sunflower oil in a large frying pan and fry off the crayfish shells and heads until they begin to brown. Add the fennel, garlic, shallot, bay leaf and thyme and cook until softened. Add the water, wine, tomato puree and allow to boil until reduced by half. Remove from the heat.
Melt 40g butter in a pan and stir in the flour. Gradually add the milk, whisking until the sauce is smooth and thick. Cook for a few minutes then remove from the heat and whisk in the double cream. Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper and leave to cool.
Once the white sauce has cooled a little, whisk in two raw egg yolks.
Place the pike fillets in a food processor and blend until smooth. Add the white sauce, then the eggs one at a time (each whole egg one by one then the egg white). Blend between each addition and continue to do so until the mixture is light & fluffy. Add a splash of jersey cream and pinch of salt, mix well and then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Strain the crayfish sauce through a fine sieve and return to a clean pan. Add the brandy and bring the mixture to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer add a small cube of chilled butter and slowly whisk until the sauce is thickened and glossy. Add a pinch of chilli powder and the meat from the crayfish tails. Keep over a very low heat.
Bring a pan of lightly salted water to the boil. Using two wet spoons form the pike mixture into quenelles (oval shapes like rugby balls). Gently drop them into the water and poach for approximately 8 minutes. Remove the quenelles with a slotted spoon and allow to sit on kitchen paper to drain off any water.
Arrange the quenelles in serving bowls, pour over a little of the hot crayfish sauce. Garnish with chervil and serve.
Tune In: Check out episode 3 of Valentine Warner Coast to Coast to watch Valentine Warner cook up the pike quenella and crayfish here.

T&E has repeatedly called for shipping's inclusion in the EU Emissions Trading Scheme.
Transport & Environment (T&E) Tuesday welcomed news of two letters sent by shipping industry organisations Monday, supporting the European Parliament (EP) Environment Committee's proposal to regulate the sector via a Maritime Climate Fund from 2023 if the International Maritime Organization (IMO) "does not deliver a global measure to address shipping GHG emissions."
As Ship & Bunker has previously reported, T&E has repeatedly called for shipping's inclusion in the European Union's (EU's) Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) as part of efforts to reduce the transport sector's overall emissions.
In December, the EP Environment Committee decided to include shipping emissions in the EU's ETS only from 2023 and only if the IMO does not have a comparable system operating for global shipping from 2021.
On Monday, the Clean Shipping Index, which represents 29 companies involved in international shipping, issued a letter stating that action by sections of business alone will be insufficient and that "first mover action" at state or regional level has triggered and supported action at the international level in the past.
In its own letter, BICEPS, a network for AB InBev, AkzoNobel, DSM, Farm Frites, FrieslandCampina, Huntsman, IOI Loders Croklaan, Lamb Weston/Meijer, and Vion Food Group, said it is time to "boost actions at international level to reduce ship CO2," calling on MEPs and EU governments to "ensure that EU related shipping contributes to the EU's 2030 climate targets from 1 January 2023 via the ETS or Maritime Climate Fund if IMO does not deliver a global measure to address shipping GHG emissions."
BICEPS suggest that the European Commission (EC) should facilitate such a process.
"Ship CO2 is completely unregulated and shipping is the only sector in Europe not contributing to the 2030 emissions reduction target," said Bill Hemmings, T&E's shipping director.
"Parliament is right that this must change if the IMO does not act. Lower CO2 means less climate warming and lower fuel burn, which lowers costs. Thats a win-win for industry, shippers and consumers."

Yours are the hands with which Christ blesses all the world."
Though this poem has always intrigued me, it caught my attention in a particular way this year in my roles as part of both the music ministry and church council. From my vantage point with the worship band on Sunday mornings, I have the privilege to share music alongside the other musicians and to witness our congregation come together in praise and thanksgiving each week. Every time we play this song, it moves me to actually witness the lyrics come alive as members of the congregation embrace one another in peace, share from the abundance God has blessed them with, and bring forward the shared gifts of the community. The tenderness of people's care for one another and their generosity in giving reminds me how Christ would serve and care for each of us.
As a member of council I have also had the opportunity to get to know more intimately the variety of ways in which our congregation reaches out in service to others. From shelter cooking, to food drives, to proclaiming God's radically inclusive love at San Jose Pride, and in so many more ways, the people of CGS truly embody the message of the poem. Each of us is unique, flawed and imperfect and yet also beautifully gifted and it is inspiring to witness how God brings us together and uses us as a community, as an embodiment of Christ's love.
As the council discerns this fall how God is calling us to continue to walk in our mission, I take inspiration from the visible ways I can see God already at work among us. At the same time, I look forward with anticipation to witnessing the ways God will continue to move among us, equipping us for service. Building on the strong foundation of where God has brought us so far, we continue to listen for the Spirit's voice, calling us, strengthening us, and equipping us for both the ongoing means and the new opportunities we will have to share Christ's love in our midst, as the eyes, the feet, the hands, and the heart called to proclaim, welcome, and serve.
Your article is timely and so well written. Tonight I will be participating in the Worship and Music team at Gethsemane Lutheran in Gainesville, FL. Before I go, I plan to find the music you refer to and take it to our meeting. We are in interim mode and could use the insights you have so well described. I would not be surprised if this music becomes part of our worship sometime soon. Many thanks. I miss my friends at GSLC.


Do I buy a five or ten year passport? asked my 83-year-old relative. A sobering thought as you reach the last lap of your life. Naturally I encouraged her to go for ten, but I think that was as much because I didn't want to imagine my life without her, not because it was the right answer. None of us know how long we have on this planet.
After that discussion, I've been mulling over what I would do if I knew I only had a certain number of years left. One thing for sure, I wouldn't be working so hard, regardless of how much I enjoy my business. No, I think I would be travelling, trying to squeeze in as many countries and experiences as I could before I ran out of juice.
I'd probably also look at the old bucket list and start trying to tick off the items – like learning how to paint; getting a good camera and capturing the wonderful scenes and beauty around me; writing another book.
And I would spend more time visiting with family and friends, because those relationships are precious to me, and feed my soul.
All of which begs the question, what am I waiting for? Why do we put our life on hold while we are busy living our life? Why don't we just live for the moment and stay in the present?
I'm going to dust off that bucket list and make a start.

"The Second Half," New Era, Mar. 1996, 38
by Darrin Lythgoe
Hey, when you've already been an all-star, there's no reason to worry about making the cut … is there?
Though only moments remained in Franklin High's last preseason scrimmage, several players were still fighting for their basketball survival. Final cuts were tomorrow, and the intense action on the court reflected the athletes' anxiety. It was now or never to make that one last good impression.
Jeff Anderson, on the other hand, was as confident as they come. A slim six-foot-one senior with aspirations of a college scholarship, Jeff had made the varsity team three years running. He had even been named an all-star twice. The competition was a little tougher this year, the team had a new coach, and Jeff hadn't exactly found the top of his game yet, but that was nothing to worry about. His position was sure.
When the buzzer finally sounded, the exhausted contenders headed for the showers. On the way off the court, Jeff found himself next to Mark, a freshman who had been giving his all to make the varsity squad. Poor Mark probably didn't have a chance, Jeff thought.
"Think you'll make the cut?" Jeff asked him anyway.
"I don't know," Mark replied cautiously. "I hope so."
"Well, since this is your first year, don't take it so hard if you don't land a spot. Good luck, though."
"Thanks," Mark said as the two split to go to their separate lockers. "I guess we'll find out tomorrow."
The next day when Jeff reported to practice, the final team roster was posted outside the coach's door. Jeff almost didn't bother to read it, but curiosity made him stop.
Mark had made the cut, as had a few other underclassmen. But when Jeff got to the end of the list, a terrible realization hit him like a right hook to the jaw—his own name was missing.
Jeff went white with shock. For five minutes he stood there dazed, frantically scanning the paper over and over. This can't be happening, he thought. In desperation, he opened the door and asked the coach if there had been a mistake. There hadn't.
"But why?" asked Jeff in disbelief. "I'm a senior and a two-time all-star. Doesn't that count for anything?"
The coach sat down. "Yes, Jeff, it does," he began, "but I have to go with my best players. This year there were a lot of younger guys who were better. I could have kept you on the team and let you sit on the bench, but didn't think that would be fair to you. I'm sorry, Jeff."
It's still not fair, Jeff thought as he walked away. You just don't cut an all-star. He could feel the anger and frustration swelling within him. Even if your younger guys were better, seniors should have priority. But right now it didn't matter what he thought. That morning he had been a star basketball player and a member of a real team, but now he was nobody, and when people found out, his life would be over for sure.
That afternoon, Jeff's mom was quick with her usual greeting.
"Hi, Jeff. How was your day?" she asked cheerfully, unaware of the day's events.
"Bad," Jeff retorted bluntly. Avoiding eye contact, he threw down his backpack and stomped into the kitchen. His mom followed.
"How bad?" she asked. "What happened?"
Silence. He didn't want to talk, but he guessed it would have to come out sometime.
"It's so stupid," he finally confessed, banging his fist on the counter.
"What's stupid?"
"The basketball team," Jeff started. "The new coach thinks the sophomores and juniors are better than me and today he cut me from the team—just like that."
Jeff's mother knew how much basketball meant to him. "Oh, Jeff, I'm sorry, but it's not the end …" she stopped abruptly, knowing this was not the time for a lecture.
"End, nothing," he replied angrily. "My life is ruined." And with that he tromped upstairs to his room and slammed the door.
By dinnertime, word of Jeff's catastrophe had spread through the entire family, and as expected, everyone had questions and advice he didn't want to hear.
"Are you still going to be on the basketball team?" Jeff's ten-year-old brother, Doug, wanted to know. As younger brothers often do, Doug idolized Jeff and wanted to know every detail of his athletic affairs.
"No," Jeff snapped, still mad at the world. "I got cut, okay? Now leave me alone."
Jeff's dad tried to offer some sympathy. "Well, I think the coach made a poor decision," he said. "But even if we could make him take you back, you know he wouldn't play you. Just don't let it get you down. When I was a freshman in high school I wanted to be a star baseball player, but I didn't make the cut either. I was angry and disappointed like you, but instead of letting it eat at me, I got involved in other things and still had a fun four years. Just look at this as a kind of intermission," Dad continued. "With the right attitude, you could still have a great second half."
"But Dad," Jeff countered, "I've already made the team three years in a row. You hadn't put as much into it as I have. You still had plenty of time to start over. I don't."
"There are still plenty of activities you could try," his mom interjected. "Maybe you could audition for the drama club or join the school choir."
"Ha ha," Jeff said dryly. "You couldn't get me into those things if you paid me. Besides, I'm an athlete."
"How about baseball?" Doug suggested. "You could be the pitcher!" Any sport was fine for Doug.
"Baseball is different than basketball," Jeff explained, brushing Doug aside. "Now could everyone please just let me eat in peace?"
The room immediately fell silent. Except for the occasional clink of knives and forks, no one spoke for several minutes. Finally, someone dared to try again.
"I hear there's an opening for a sports reporter on the school paper," suggested Cindy, a year younger than Jeff. "You've always been a good writer, and that might be right up your alley."
"Thanks, but no thanks," Jeff said, getting up from the table. He couldn't stand it anymore. "If none of you mind, I'll just run my own life." He stomped from the room, and with a loud clatter he dropped his plate in the kitchen sink and disappeared. It looked to be a long basketball season for the Andersons.
Several days passed, and Jeff refused to cheer up for anyone. He avoided his family whenever possible, and at school he distanced himself from friends. At lunch he sat alone, far from anyone who might dare talk to him, until one day he had a surprise visitor.
"Hi, Jeff," she said as she sat down across from him. Her name was Kristy Campbell, and Jeff knew her from a few classes they had taken together. She had also been in his sixth period study hall at the beginning of this year but had disappeared after only a few weeks.
"Lately you look like you could use a friend," she announced, "so I've come to apply for the position. What's up?"
"Nothing," Jeff shot back. It was a nice gesture on her part, but it looked to him like she only wanted to be his psychiatrist, and the last thing he needed was one more self-styled shrink to analyze his plight.
"I heard about the basketball team," Kristy revealed. "That's really too bad."
"Yeah, what else is new?" Jeff asked sarcastically. He wasn't in the mood for this.
Kristy chuckled. "What are you doing with your spare time now that you're not playing basketball?" she asked.
"Not a lot," Jeff answered evasively, looking down at his tray.
Kristy didn't give up. "Say, don't you have a free hour sixth period?" she remembered.
"It's my study hall hour," he said. "Why do you want to know?"
"Well, since you've got a little time on your hands, I thought you might be able to come down to the gym sixth period and help me out with something."
Kristy got up from the table. "It's a surprise," she said with a smile, "but it has to do with basketball, and you're just the person I need. I'll see you there."
She turned and bolted for the door. By the time Jeff could say anything, she was yards away and out of earshot. Oh well, he thought, she'll be disappointed when I'm not there.
By the end of fifth period, however, Jeff's curiosity was piqued. What kind of favor could Kristy possibly need that involved basketball? And why him? His homework was light today, so maybe he would at least go see what it was. If it didn't look interesting, he could always go back to the library and study.
When the bell sounded, he walked slowly down the hall, still imagining what might lie ahead. As he neared the gym, he heard basketballs bouncing. He racked his brain again for possible explanations. Nothing could have prepared him for what he was about to find.
When he entered the gym he saw several students dribbling or shooting basketballs, but they weren't in any of his classes and they weren't on the basketball team. They were members of Franklin High's special education class, and all of them had some kind of mental disability. Some were physically handicapped as well.
Jeff instantly felt out of place and turned to make a quick exit, but an excited Kristy Campbell stood between him and the door.
"You came!" she nearly shouted. "I'm so glad you're here." Then she explained. "You see, I've been using my study period to help out with the special ed P.E. class, and today we're playing basketball. I thought I could use a little help, and with your expertise, you're the perfect person to be my assistant. Come and let me introduce you."
This was awkward. Jeff had seen the special ed class in the halls and in their own corner of the cafeteria, but he had never felt comfortable enough to talk to them and didn't feel like starting now. He didn't know them, and they were, well, different.
"Attention everyone. This is Jeff Anderson," Kristy announced to the group. "He was on the school basketball team last year and today he's going to watch and give us a little advice."
Great, Jeff thought. Now I'm stuck.
"And since he's such a hotshot superstar," Kristy continued, shooting Jeff a grin, "we should all be pros by the end of the period."
As soon as Kristy finished, Jeff was immediately mobbed by his new fan club. One boy in particular was eager to get close to him.
"My name is Joseph," he shouted above the clamor. He was Jeff's age, and he shared Jeff's love for basketball, but he also suffered from Down's syndrome. Jeff didn't know what to say.
"I went to five games last year and you played great," Joseph said. "In the last game against Jefferson you scored 18 points and Franklin won, 55–40. Can you teach us to shoot baskets like you? Please?"
Jeff was flattered by Joseph's compliments, but more than that, he was astounded at Joseph's amazing memory of scores and statistics. He hadn't thought anyone like Joseph could be capable of such a feat, but now he realized that he was wrong. More than that, he was intrigued.
"Sure, I can show you," Jeff finally agreed, his face now sporting a visible grin. The small crowd erupted in cheers, and Jeff began to notice that for them this was an exciting day.
From there Kristy basically ran the show, naming the drills and organizing the students. Jeff, meanwhile, demonstrated each move and offered pointers and assistance wherever he could. All the participants loved his attention, and no one was the least bit annoyed with his suggestions. If only everyone could respond this well to coaching, he thought.
At one point during a shooting exercise, Joseph became discouraged because he couldn't get the ball in the basket. He had tried several times from the same spot and hadn't come close to hitting anything.
"I give up!" he shouted in disgust. "I'm never going to make it from here."
"Hey, relax," Jeff broke in. "Let's try it again. Bend your knees a little bit, and push off with your feet when you shoot. Focus on the front of the rim and try to shoot the ball just over the rim." He gave the ball back to Joseph, who followed his instructions carefully. The shot still didn't fall, but this time it went high enough and far enough and banked off the rim.
"The most important thing to remember is to never give up," Jeff told Joseph. Then almost as a joke he added, "And if that doesn't work, try a different shot."
"Thanks," Joseph said. "You're awesome. That's good advice."
"You bet," Jeff replied without thinking. But as he passed the ball on, it suddenly hit him. These students were the embodiment of perseverance and improvisation. If anybody needed that advice, he did.
When the bell rang, the regular instructor returned and Kristy asked the students to gather up all the equipment. While they were busy, she ran to grab Jeff before he left the gym.
"Thanks a lot, Jeff," she said. "I know you didn't have to stay or even show up in the first place."
"You really didn't need me here," Jeff pointed out. "You could have done all this yourself."
"Maybe," she answered, "but they needed you. You gave them your attention, along with a shot of inspiration, and they won't soon forget that. Besides, I think you needed them."
Jeff didn't admit it, but he knew exactly what Kristy meant. Just being there to actively help her students had forced him out of his shell. It had even been fun. What's more, Joseph's astute observation had made him realize that he shouldn't let anything keep him down for too long—not even getting cut from the basketball team.
"We don't play basketball every time," Kristy continued, "but we could sure use you again if you have the time. Our next class is Wednesday, same period."
Jeff hesitated. Although the hour had gone well, he wasn't sure he wanted to make a habit out of it. "Well …" he started.
"Hey, Jeff!" a voice suddenly bellowed from behind. It was Joseph, on his way out the door with the rest of the class. "Are you coming back Wednesday?"
Instantly all Jeff's excuses seemed to vanish. "Sure," he answered. "You can count on it."
Joseph grinned and waved good-bye. Jeff waved back and then turned to look at Kristy. "Thanks," she said as she hoisted the equipment bag over her shoulder. "You're a real hero."
On the walk home that afternoon, Jeff thought about the day's developments. He wasn't any closer to regaining his spot on the varsity basketball squad, but now he had a new team, and for the first time in weeks, he felt important. He had only coached Kristy's students in small ways, but they had managed to teach him a lot more. He still had a lot to give, no matter what uniform he was wearing.
As for Kristy's class, Jeff would see them Wednesday, and maybe more Wednesdays if Kristy asked. In the meantime, he might even check into that reporting job with the paper. If he couldn't play the games, at least he could write about them. The second half was about to begin.

There are some stop loss strategies to apply when we want our money safety and stay away from the danger. There are also some strategies to manage the existing risks so that we would get our maximum profit from our trading. Using our forex strategies mean we have to stick to the rule that our strategies have set. Without enough discipline, we would perhaps mess our money up.
Stop loss definition is the lowest price limit values specified to limit losses. When the price action touches this value , then the system will automatically close the order or position .
Decision to put a stop loss is an optional, some forex traders comfort with this stop loss strategy but in other side most traders not comfortable with stop loss because some broker can do hunting stop loss to our stop loss price level that we set before. At the end, this decision about setting our stop loss is depending on our trading strategies it self.
To give more protection to our money we should use more strategies. The stop loss strategies enable us to prevent us from too much danger of losing our money. To implement the stop loss strategies we need to set what amount of money we are willing to give when our trading does not run smoothly.
The effective way is by using trailing stops strategies. To use the current strategies we just need to set up the percentage we are willing to spend when we have the situation of loss. In other words the nature of forex trading it self is how we measure our risk of losing money. When our trading does not work well we could also make our strategies to lock our gain.
Every forex traders has their own characteristics in determining the key level of a stop loss. Some traders using tight money management based risk percent and in a good money management don't ever to risk our equity to exceed 5%.
As well as some veteran forex traders even never using stop loss level, usually they using averaging martingale trading strategy and even they using stop loss strategy they setting their stop loss based four hour or daily time frame based long tail candlestick and adding with some pips like picture above.
In other forex traders community, some forex traders only using stop loss level based technical analysis via indicators or even only with naked charts. Of course, it takes skill and experience in analyzing the charts. This is the way i like, usually i put my stop loss level based support resistance which price level has been test and retest at least three times. This key level is strong support resistance. So at this support resistance key level, we can adding 3 or 5 pips more on the highest or lowest wick as our stop loss price level. And don't forget using this stop loss strategy at least on one hour time frame and happy practice with top rated forex brokers that we've tested and this forex brokers has a good reviews and for sure this forex brokers no cheating like hunting our stop loss, so try it.

Dracula has been around for a long long time, and a pretty eclectic group of actors have portrayed him through the ages. Some of the stories behind these adaptations are very interesting; for example, in the case of F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu (1922), Murnau wanted to make an adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula but was denied the rights to it, so he just changed the name of his vampire to 'Count Orlock'. But we know it's really Dracula! The story is the same! Some fit the part perfectly, like for example Bela Lugosi, Christopher Lee and Gary Oldman all of who were perfect embodiments of the character, but others, like Lon Chaney Jr., I never bought as a villain! I mean sure he was great as The Wolf Man (1941) because that character had a duality to him, but Dracula is supposed to be all evil, and Chaney Jr. had this good nature to him, I couldn't believe he'd be Dracula. Other portrayals of the character focus on the more romantic side of things, like Frank Langella in John Badham's Dracula (1979) which also has the distinction of being called "Disco Dracula" by this Film Connoisseur, the guy just looks so 70's. Finally, even though it's Bela Lugosi who is often associated with the character, its Christopher Lee who will go down as the guy who played Count Dracula the most. So anyhows, here's a list of actors who have portrayed the character through out the ages and the movies they have appeared in, in no particular order. Enjoy!
Quote: "I am the monster breathing man would kill, I am Dracula!"
Nicely done. But we need to know more!
You are absolutely right Drunketh Wizard, there have been more portrayals of the character...I think I will be doing a part II of this article!
Nice list. You reminded me of a couple of incarnations of the film that I haven't seen. "Nosferatu" is still one of my favorites, so darn creepy every time I watch it. Glad to you see you like Gary Oldman's approach. I've seen a lot of folks dislike the film and Oldman as Dracula. It has always been one of my favorites.
Hey Roman, agree, Nosferatu always makes for a spooky watch!
I do like Gary Oldman as Dracula, I think that movie, even with its hiccups (I speak of Keanu of course) is a masterpiece in my book, so great in every way. The artistry involved in that film is astounding, a true achievement in my book! I'll be reviewing Bram Stoker's Dracula this week, be on the look out for that review!
I'll remember Willem Defoe for part II!
I am a huge fan of Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), to me is such an amazing film, so artistic, so grand, but Horror of Dracula is certainly one of my favorites as well, the atmosphere on that one is difficult to top and it has some truly memorable moments!


In honour of Earth Hour (March 30, 2019 from 8:30pm-9:30pm) we took a look at the cost of energy, and found some tips to help reduce energy usage.
Reducing energy consumption is not only great for the environment, but it can also help you stay on track with your budget.
Energy bills are measured in kilowatt-hours. So, what is a kilowatt-hour?
A kilowatt-hour (kWh) is a measure of energy. Kilowatt-hours are watts (energy needed) multiplied by time (in hours), divided by 1,000.
What does this mean for you? Appliances come with a label stating the maximum amount of power it can draw. You can use this to estimate total energy use, and from that, total energy cost.
For example, let's say your clothes dryer says it uses 3,000 watts. Perhaps over the course of a week you might use your dryer for 7 hours, or an average of 1 hour per day. First, we multiply the watts by hours used per day (3,000 x 1 hour), getting a total of 3,000 watts per hour. Next, we divide by 1,000, leaving us at 3 kilowatt-hours (kWh).
How can I use kilowatt-hours to estimate energy costs?
Kilowatt-hour prices vary by city and province. According to Hydro Quebec's 2018 annual study (Comparison of Electricity Prices in Major North American Cities), the average kilowatt-hour price ranges from 7.13 cents up to 16.83 cents for major Canadian cities. And most hydro companies have a time-of-use model, which means the cost of a kilowatt-hour varies depending on the time of day. Generally, lower-demand or "off-peak" energy use times (mornings, nights and weekends) have lower kilowatt-hour costs, whereas high demand or "peak" times (during the day) have higher kilowatt-hour costs. To know your costs, check your hydro bill.
How does this work for our example?
If we assume the lowest cost ($0.0713 per kWh) is our "off-peak" energy cost, running the clothes dryer for 1 hour per day during the low-demand time, at 3 kWh, would cost $0.21 a day. Over the course of a month, that's about $6.30, and over a year, $76.65.
If we assume the higher cost ($0.1683) is the "peak" energy cost, running the clothes dryer for 1 hour per day during the high-demand time, at 3 kWh, would cost $0.50 a day. Over the course of a month, that's about $15, and over a year, $182.50.
When you factor in all your different appliances that run all day or for multiple hours a day (fridge, air conditioning, hot water heater, television, lights, etc.), the difference in pricing really adds up. By paying attention to peak and off-peak windows, and knowing how much energy your appliances use, you can manage your energy costs more closely.
What appliances use the most amount of energy?
Larger, more powerful appliances are the worst culprit for increasing our energy bills. Central air conditioning, washing machines, dryers, hot water heaters, and refrigerators generally account for most of our energy bill. We tend to use these appliances the most as well (your fridge is never unplugged), so it's not surprising they make up a significant portion of our energy usage.
As you can see, the cost of one hour of energy can vary depending on what appliance you're using, and where you live.
There's a reason hydro companies have made it cheaper to use energy on evenings and weekends: there's already a huge draw on the power system to run all the offices and buildings from Monday-Friday. When you avoid using appliances like a clothes dryer during this time, you help prevent power surges and contribute to a more stable energy structure. Plus, it's easier on your wallet.
LED lightbulbs use significantly less watts than incandescent lightbulbs. While LEDs are more expensive to purchase, the energy savings you experience over time ends up costing less in the long run.
Dimmer switches allow you to use only as much light as you need, helping you save on energy usage.
Try to wash as much laundry as possible in cold water to give your hot water heater a break. Unless you truly need to sanitize your laundry (if someone is sick, or you're washing bed linens), cold water gets the job done just fine.
Skip the dyer and opt to air dry your laundry on a clothing line or drying rack. If you don't have the space or you need your clothes to dry quicker, throw a dry towel in with your clothes for the first 15-20 minutes of drying – it will help cut your drying time.
While nothing beats relaxing under the hot water for a few extra minutes, the added time you spend in the shower will cost you. Try to encourage every person in the household to reduce each shower by a few minutes.
In the summer months, opt for BBQ dinners to avoid heating up your kitchen. You can even use your slow cooker or pressure cooker instead since they don't give off as much heat as your oven.
Trees shade your home from the sunlight. As a result, your air conditioning won't have to work as hard.
Choose window coverings that let in enough light, but also prevent your house from getting too hot from the sun. You may want to consider blackout curtains for west-facing bedrooms. On the other hand, make sure you're strategic when choosing window coverings – in some cases, you'll want to let in enough natural light so you don't have to rely on light fixtures or lamps during the day.
Appliances are expensive, but the energy savings you experience with high-efficient machines will pay for themselves over the course of a few years. If it's not in the budget to upgrade all your appliances at once, save a bit of money each month for a new appliance fund, and upgrade to more efficient models as appliances age or break down.
Take advantage of Earth Hour by implementing one or two solutions that will conserve energy. This will not only help the environment, but lower your energy bill as well!


M. Janine Duron is the Executive Director of CITA, Centro Independiente de Trabajadores Agrícolas or Independent Agricultural Workers' Center. A not-for-profit, bi-national, grassroots farm worker membership organization, CITA is funded by Catholic Relief Services of Mexico. Its mission is to help agricultural employers attain and retain a viable work force and to help raise the standard of living and working for farm workers.
So, maybe what makes our nation so great is our freedom to love, our freedom to prosper, and our freedom to help others prosper.
What makes this slice of time so great is technology. What wouldn't the beloved César Chávez have accomplished with the tools we now have in our hands?
Witnessing the amazing toppling of regimes reminds me of some toppling that needs to occur in our own nation. Not of a regime but of old and misguided ideologies about whom and what is best for our farm workers. About misplaced loyalties and worn-out attitudes regarding farmers and of the "governing" of America's oldest and—in many ways finest—industry.
Gone are the abuses of the 50's. The 60's and 70's clearly belong to César Chávez and the UFW [United Farm Workers]. Who can measure the pride I find all around me in 70- and 80-year-old men and women who believed and prospered because of him?
Certainly new abuses have taken their place. The cunning are crafty and getting bolder every day. There are pockets of abuse—great pockets and great abuse—pesticide and chemical abuse, verbal abuse, sexual abuse, and physical abuse. Financial and downright racial abuses threaten those who bless our nation with their labor.
Speaking of racial abuse: are we not shooting ourselves in the foot? Are we or our children going out and taking and keeping these jobs, or do we really need those who can and will? When did we stop thinking for ourselves and let the media take over? Were we not taught not to believe everything we hear? Take care of the foreign worker and he will take care of us, yes even in this day of terrorism, greed, and cartels. The other 99.9% just want to walk our streets of gold so they can feed their families.
Employers! When was the last time your worker(s) said that you "treat them like family?" That they feel needed and appreciated, so much so that they are willing to leave their families and return to you each year out of honor and respect and, yes, love? Certainly love is not a required ingredient in your relationship, but how could there be anything but? You prosper because of them, and you are fully empowered by Someone to help them prosper in turn. What would it cost to get to know and understand and openly appreciate your workers? What would that bring you in terms of increased loyalty and productivity?
Government Staff and Officials! Those of you charged with processing H-2A petitions and those who administer our state and Federal agencies: you live and work amongst the regulations that are intended to protect farm workers. But do you know whom and what these farm workers are? How about the employers whose entire season's production, marketing, and ability to continue are in your hands? Do you understand the critical timing of a farmer's lifelong investment in a perishable crop and wildly fluctuating market? Do you weigh the farmer's need against those ridiculous H-2A requirements and make and defend the right decision? (Come on, admit it, would you try to do this if you weren't absolutely desperate for someone to bring in your crops?) Can the audit and fraud division pick it up from there, giving a chance to the honest and well-meaning employers, for whom you work, whose employer taxes pay your salary and benefits, a chance to survive another season in this awkward economy? And a chance for the others to hang themselves, yes, but not on the good employer's time or dime.
Recognize and release any negative feelings we have about others in our lives, dealing decisively with greed, envy and pride before it makes us useless even to ourselves.
Seek ways to reconcile and enjoy, then employ the vast differences in our beings, thought, and belief systems for the good of ourselves, our nation, and our beloved farm workers.
Instead of being criticized all of my life for this incomprehensible passion and dedication I feel toward sservice to farm workers and their employers, how nice it would have been to have a collaboration spring forth each time instead. Who knows, maybe a little of my strange thinking together with yours might have made more of a difference.
Life brings many heavy burdens for each of us, but I dare say that yours and mine are hardly worth mentioning compared to those faced by farm working families as employers or their workers. Helping them with compassionate works and hearts makes those burdens much easier to bear. May someone help bear yours and your children's one day as recompense for what you did for others.
Aren't farm workers ready for another great move on their behalf? How can we top what César did for them? We cannot, but we can carry on in his example of reconciliation and excellence and who knows how those needs will disappear, with a new sense of significance, worth, and empowerment taking their place.

Boeing 737 Max 8 woes crimp Asian airlines' growth plans
SINGAPORE — Asian airlines are cutting routes, revamping their schedules and leasing extra aircraft to fill gaps left by the grounding of Boeing 737 Max 8s after deadly crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia killed 346 people. So far, regional carriers have managed to avoid major disruptions, but analysts expect that idling the Max 8s, a fuel-efficient update of Boeing's popular 737, will crimp growth plans in the near future. As investigations into the crashes continue, Boeing anticipates a $1 billion increase in costs related to the 737 Max, including fixing software implicated in the disasters, adding pilot training and compensating...
Thai king celebrates coronation with spectacular parade
BANGKOK — Thailand's newly crowned King Maha Vajiralongkorn made a spectacular public appearance in front of his countrymen Sunday, carried atop a golden palanquin by soldiers in ancient fighting uniforms in a procession through Bangkok's historic quarter. Hundreds of other soldiers marched in front, behind and alongside the palanquin in scorching heat as the procession set off from Bangkok's Grand Palace just after 5 p.m. with a marching band setting the pace. Also taking part in the slow parade were the prime minister and other senior officials in the military government as well as the king's wife, Queen Suthida, and...
Thai minister says envoys breached diplomatic etiquette
BANGKOK — Thailand's foreign minister said Tuesday that he will summon representatives from the embassies of the European Union and the United States to discuss why he believes they breached diplomatic etiquette by observing a Thai politician being charged with sedition by police. Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai said that foreign countries are barred from closely observing internal procedures "not only by etiquette but also by rules and regulations that the whole world abides by." His remarks come after several countries sent envoys to observe a police proceeding at a Bangkok police station on Saturday where Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit, leader of a...
Brunei invokes laws allowing stoning for gay sex, adultery
SINGAPORE — New Islamic criminal laws that took effect Wednesday in Brunei that punish gay sex and adultery by stoning offenders to death have triggered an outcry from countries, rights groups and celebrities far beyond the tiny Southeast Asian nation's shores. The penalties were provided for under new sections of Brunei's Shariah Penal Code. Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah instituted the code in 2014 to bolster the influence of Islam in the oil-rich monarchy of around 430,000 people, two-thirds of whom are Muslim. Even before 2014, homosexuality was already punishable in Brunei by a jail term of up to 10 years. The...
Prosecutor says ex-Malaysian PM abused his 'absolute power'
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak sat in the dock Wednesday at the start of his corruption trial, with the chief prosecutor alleging he wielded "near absolute power" for nearly a decade during which he stands accused of pilfering millions of dollars from the 1MDB state investment fund. "The accused is not above the law and his prosecution and this trial should serve as precedents for all future holders of this august office," Attorney General Tommy Thomas said in his opening statement. The trial was originally due to start in February but was delayed by procedural...

Research efforts under my direction are in electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). First, in a study of unilateral versus bilateral ECT in elderly unilateral ECT non-responders, we have shown that switching to bilateral ECT is associated with a more substantial and enduring response. We have also shown that switching to bilateral ECT is, however, associated with an increase in memory impairment compared to continuing unilateral ECT. Other ongoing ECT work focuses on the effects of various types of stimulus dosing paradigms on therapeutic response, memory impairment, and EEG abnormality. This work already suggests that moderate intensity dosing improves therapeutic response, but, again, at the cost of more substantial memory effects. With respect to this latter study, as well as other pilot work, we have also demonstrated an ability to separate EEG seizures produced by various kinds of ECT treatment parameters. We are continuing this work in order to more fully develop electroencephalographic models of treatment adequate with ECT.

Mumbai: He first performed for an audience when he was just six-years-old, starting a journey which would take decades for Amjad Ali Khan to earn the moniker of 'Sarod Maestro' and the ustad says one cannot achieve instant fame in classical music.
Khan says performing classical music is akin to entering a dark tunnel, with the hope of a sun-ray sometime in the future.
"We live in an 'instant' time where everybody wants to become superstars within a short time. It is not possible, there is no shortcut in classical music. It is only hardwork, struggle and dedication. Classical music is not just my profession but my passion, it is a way of life," Khan told PTI.
"It is like entering a dark tunnel with the hope of sun-ray, someday. In our field, planning is not allowed. But young people want to know what will happen after 5 years (in the career). We were only allowed to surrender to music," he adds.
After performing at the age of six in his home town Gwalior, Khan says his "actual journey" began when he was a 12-year-old and "every town, city and state of India nurtured me and made me who I am today. It takes that much dedication."
Khan says, contrary to perception, classical music is not dying and is here to stay as it is deeply connected with traditions.
"The future is very bright, there is no question of classical music dying. It is deep rooted in us. Classical and folk music are our identity. There will always be some change, like how people are doing fusion, collaborations. It's healthy."
Khan has now penned his latest book, 'Master on Masters' in which he has payed tribute to the greatest icons of Indian classical music.
"In the fraternity of classical music, one only writes on your guru or father. People sometimes say that classical music is dying but they don't know the people who are responsible for the honour and popularity of classical music. I have written about all of them," he says.
The book chronicles the lives and times of some of the greatest icons of Indian classical music.
Twelve eminent musicians of the twentieth century that are featured in the book are: Bade Ghulam AliKhan, Amir Khan, Begum Akhtar, Alla Rakha, Kesarbai Kerkar, Kumar Gandharva, MS Subbulakshmi, Pandit Bhimsen Joshi, Bismillah Khan, Ravi Shankar, Vilayat Khan and Kishan Maharaj.

Masterful example of spin and propaganda for Democrats
From the Washington Post "From "After thousands of Trump supporters rally in D.C., violence erupts when night falls" (WaPo).", courtesy https://althouse.blogspot.com/2020/11/when-darkness-fell-counterprotesters.html.
Quoted paragraph followed by spin analysis.
"Scuffles continued into the night as the provocateurs overturned the tables of vendors who had been selling pro-Trump gear and set off dozens of fireworks, prompting police to pepper-spray them. At 8 p.m., violence broke out five blocks east of the White House between the president's supporters, who wielded batons, and his black-clad detractors, many of whom had participated in racial justice rallies throughout the summer. As the groups approached the same intersection, they charged each other, brawling for several minutes before police arrived and cleared the area…. [A]lmost none of [Trump's] backers wore masks. Among their ranks were white nationalists, conspiracy theorists and far-right activists carrying signs demanding action that was already being taken: 'Count the legal votes.' Trump had thrilled them when his motorcade appeared on Pennsylvania Avenue shortly after 10 a.m., prompting fans to scramble to the side of Freedom Plaza to catch a glimpse…. 'Trump, pack your [shit]! You're illegitimate!' [counterprotesters] yelled into their megaphone… A family of four on Capital Bikeshare bikes — the father with an American flag tied around his neck like a cape — were cut off by a line of counterprotesters as they tried to leave a tense scene outside the Supreme Court about 1 p.m. 'Get out of our city!' a young woman in black yelled. 'You lost, losers!' shouted a man. The father and his teenage son began to chant 'U.S.A.!' and raised their fists as police officers surrounded the family and pushed them out of the crowd."

1st Female President
If Biden is elected, then the United States will have its first female president. The only question is whether it will be Sen. Kamala Harris or Dr. Jill Biden. The latter seems to me all too ready to reprise the role played by Edith Wilson, Woodrow Wilson's wife, after his (Woodrow's) 1919 stroke.
Joe Biden, if elected, will push extremist agenda
Because if he does not, then the dirt on his son Hunter will be published by the MSM. If you see a story or stories about validation of some of the corruption claims about Hunter in NYT, WaPo, etc, then you know that Biden has not been sufficiently cooperative.
Why Voting by Mail Will Be Bad
Ans: because correctly addressed mail can be rejected.

In Case You Were Wondering Where USAToday Stands on Violent Protests
It is for them. See item 100, copied below.
100. Be mindful of sharing images of protesters
Posting photos from protests on social media could expose protesters' identities.
What is harm in photographing a protester? To ask the question is to answer it.

Writing ruthlessly
PBS correspondent Yamiche Alcindor apparently does not believe that there are anarchists participating in the protests. See link here on Foxnews.com.
At least for now (2-June-2020, 6:55 pm), I found it here. The rebuttals are also in the Twitter link.
The Other McCain weblog quotes Arthur Koestler, ""One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up."
Excellent advice for Ms. Alcindor.

Miami Marlins Top 50 Preseason Prospects: Maniac Edition
By Kevin Kraczkowski

49) SS Joe Dunand
How we voted:
KK: Unranked
DL: 49
DF: 36
Expected in Miami: 2021
Joe Dunand is a six-foot-two, 205 lb. shortstop/third baseman out of North Carolina State. In three seasons of Division 1 baseball with the Wolfpack, he hit .268/.334/.476 with 29 home runs and 132 RBI. The Marlins chose him in the second round of the 2017 MLB Amateur Entry Draft, with the 51st selection off the board.
When he spoke to the media for the first time at the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp media day back in April of last year, the first thing people wanted to know had to do with Joe Dunand's cousin, Alex Rodriguez.
Dunand may be a work in progress still as he has spent the last two years in Jacksonville becoming a better hitter. You could say that his defensive ability is a few steps ahead of his current offensive prowess. Still, he has a power rating of 55, considered above average and a possible future 20-25 home run big leaguer.
The 24-year-old south Florida native What's the second round pick of the Marlins in 2017 and has slowly climbed the ladder. Hopefully this is the year that he takes another large leap towards the majors. Last year in the Southern League, he batted .242.
In 265 minor league contests, including 191 with the Jumbo Shrimp, Dunand has slashed out a .244/.314/.366 line, with 20 round-trippers and 116 RBI. It may be a couple seasons before the shortstop sees the Majors, but expect him to be better at the plate, with improved swing selection and better hitting in 2020.
