Fela Kuti, the Nigerian musician who defined Afrobeat, influenced everyone from Paul McCartney to Michael Jackson. Now, with Finding Fela, Academy Award-winning documentarian Alex Gibney (The Armstrong Lie) sheds new light on the politically fiery artist with never before seen footage and documents, including Kuti's report card (there's a reason he wasn't a doctor like his brothers). By framing the biography of the musician (Kuti died from AIDS-related complications in 1997) through rehearsals for Bill T. Jones' Tony-winning musical Fela!, Gibney presents two stories in one – the staging of a complicated production and the life of a dissident legend. About The Producer Stephen Hendel:

Evoke Group has acquired Giant Creative Strategy, adding new geography, expertise and employees as it continues an aggressive growth strategy. The addition of the West Coast full-service healthcare agency adds 150 people to Evoke Group's roster.
The added heft will help to better position Evoke in the competitive pharma and healthcare agency world, especially as clients increasingly look to consolidate agency partners. Giant's focus on professional and multichannel marketing along with data and analytics offerings will help Evoke in that pursuit.
"Clients continue to look for opportunities to work with fewer agency partners on larger remits—consolidating business to those with proven and differentiated credentials and expertise in all key brand areas. … [T]he addition of Giant adds an even more robust and differentiated HCP marketing offering to the group, as well as expanded geographic reach," Evoke Group CEO Reid Connolly said in a news release.
Evoke said its group is posting some of the fastest growth in the industry, and it now counts five locations across the United States and Europe.
Evoke Group launched in 2015 as a platform to grow the core Evoke Health healthcare agency, headquartered in New York, and build out new agency brands. In its first two years, the Group launched Firsthand, Traverse and Fabric.
Earlier this year, it added agencies nitrogen health and Tonic with offices in both the U.S. and U.K. At the time, Evoke reported it was now working with 18 of the top 20 pharma companies worldwide. Evoke Group is part of the Huntsworth global healthcare and communications group based in the U.K.

Every New Year, you make resolutions for your life: you might decide to lose weight, get organized, or spend less time on your phone. If you are a new home owner or just feel a little lost by the pile of responsibilities that come with home ownership, make this the year that you make New Years Resolutions for Your Home.
Our list will walk you through six steps that will transform your home this year. Choose just one per month to tackle, and you'll be ready to throw beautiful, memorable summer parties right on time.
One of the quickest, least expensive ways to give your home a face lift is to clear out as much clutter as you can. If you're like most of us, your closets, drawers, and cabinets are almost too full to use and your surfaces are piled with post-holiday debris.
Decide to tackle one small area at a time and clear out anything that you don't use or don't truly love. Donate things that might be useful to others and toss everything else.
There's no need to feel guilty about letting go of things; your possessions are supposed to enhance your life, not cramp your style.
Radon and carbon monoxide are two common deadly gases that every homeowner should be aware of.
Radon causes the lung cancer deaths of 21,000 Americans every year. It's odorless, colorless, and radioactive. Unfortunately, 1 in 15 homes has elevated levels of radon. Head to your local hardware store and pick up a radon testing kit for less than $20. You'll send it to a lab to have the results analyzed, and in about a week you'll find out whether you need to have a professional mitigate the radon levels in your home.
If your home doesn't have carbon monoxide detectors, you should install them immediately. Place them on every floor of your home where people sleep. You can install your carbon monoxide detectors next to the fire detectors. For less than $50, you'll be protecting your loved ones from deadly CO leaks.
Cleaning out your lint trap is a great first step, but your home's exterior dryer vent needs to be checked and cleaned regularly to prevent a house fire.
Your kitchen, bathrooms, and attic all need to have unobstructed ventilation to the exterior of the home. Otherwise, your home is far more likely to grow molds and mildew.
We covered this in your home's safety check, but it's also a key step in ensuring your home's energy efficiency. If you skip vent cleanings, you'll start to see that it's taking longer than usual to fully dry a load of clothes.
To clean out your dryer vent, detach your dryer from the wall and send a plumbing snake through from outside the house. First, tie a cleaning rag firmly to the end of the plumbing snake, then push it through the vent several times. You're likely to be amazed at what emerges!
For every 1,000 square feet of roof, your home will shed roughly 620 gallons of water for every inch of rainfall. If your gutters and downspouts aren't fully directing that water away from your foundation, your home will end up needing major, very expensive repairs.
If you aren't able to get up on a ladder and haul out debris, look into companies in your area that will perform this crucial task.
Load and run the dishwasher daily.
Do a load of laundry daily.
Keep your cleaning supplies in a portable tote and carry it with you as you move from room to room.
-Work your way around each room in a clockwise direction, moving from higher to lower (for example, wipe down cabinets and counters before you sweep and mop).
Get everyone involved and divide up the tasks. Things like dusting, changing sheets, and cleaning bathrooms are easy to divide. Depending on square footage, you should be able to turn your whole house around in 1 – 2 hours.
If one of your resolutions is to spend more quality time with friends and family, it's time to get your home ready for more frequent entertaining. While a full kitchen remodel might not be in the cards, you can still give your home a fresh feel with a few simple adjustments.
Add plants to make your home look more refined and complete. Whether you want to add a bright pop of color or just fill in an empty space with a flourish of green, there's a house plant that's right for the job.
Rearrange your furniture so that it fosters conversation and connection. If your chairs and couches are lined up to face the television, start thinking about how you could move things around to create areas for visitors to sit in cozy groups.
There's more to managing your home's budget than paying your mortgage and property taxes. On average, homeowners spend about 1% to 3% of the amount they paid for their home annually on maintenance and home improvement.
If you purchased your home for $300,000, you'll need to budget $3,000 to $9,000 annually just to care for your home. If you still have money left in this budget by the end of the year, don't spend it. Set it aside for more costly repairs that are sure to crop up later. When it's time to replace your roof or repair your foundation, you'll be glad you planned so far ahead.

McCOSKER v. FREDERICKSEN
Stanley McCOSKER, Administrator of the Estate of James M. McCosker, Sr., and Alice Maude McCosker, Plaintiffs, Cross-Defendants and Respondents. v. Percy C. FREDERICKSEN and Marie B. Fredericksen, his wife, defendants, Cross-Complainants and Appellants.
Percy C. FREDERICKSEN and Marie B. Fredericksen, his wife, Plaintiffs, Cross-Defendants and Appellants, v. Stanley McCOSKER, Administrator of the Estate of James M. McCosker, Sr., and Allce Maude McCosker, Defendants, Cross-Complainants and Respondents.
Lovett K. Fraser, Bruce B. Bruchler, Frederic S. Crump, Lakeport, for appellants. Phil N. Crawford, Lakeport, for respondents.
This appeal arises out of an action originally instituted by James M. McCosker, Sr., and his wife against the defendants Fredericksen wherein specific performance was sought of a contract to sell certain real property in Lake County. The Fredericksens cross-complained and sought to quiet their title to the property. Additionally the Fredericksens instituted a second proceeding against Stanley McCosker as administrator of the estate of James M. McCosker, Sr., and his wife by which the Fredericksens sought to eject and oust the McCoskers from the property. The McCoskers cross-complained and again asked for specific performance of the contract upon which they had relied in the previous action. The two cases were consolidated for trial, and at the conclusion thereof judgment was entered in favor of the McCoskers, decreeing specific performance of the contract.
This is the third appeal which has been before this court involving the same parties and the same property. The controversy originally stems from a contract of purchase entered into in September of 1944 wherein James M. McCosker, Jr., and his wife agreed to buy, and Bert R. Hand and his wife agreed to sell for $16,000 the property involved herein. This agreement is referred to by all of the parties as the Hand contract. Under the terms of that contract the purchasers made a down payment of $6,000 and agreed to pay the balance of $10,000 on or before seven years from the date thereof, or September 5, 1951. Thereafter, on April 16, 1946, the Hands discounted the contract, assigned their interest thereunder to the Fredericksens for the sum of $8,000, and executed a deed of the property to the Fredericksens subject to their contract with the McCoskers, junior. Subsequently James M. McCosker, Sr., and his wife brought an action against the McCoskers, junior, which resulted in a judgment decreeing the McCoskers, senior, to own an undivided one-half interest in the property and awarding damages of more than $9,000 pursuant to an accounting concerning the profits taken by the McCoskers, junior. That judgment was affirmed by this court in McCosker v. McCosker, 122 Cal.App.2d 498, 265 P.2d 21. An abstract of judgment in that case was recorded on August 28, 1951. On September 27, 1951, the McCoskers, senior, purchased at a sheriff's sale all of the interest of the McCoskers, junior, in the Hand property.
On October 2, 1951, the Fredericksens instituted a quiet title action wherein the McCoskers, junior, and several fictitious persons were named as defendants, but only the McCoskers, junior, were served. The McCoskers, senior, made an abortive attempt by answer to become parties to that action by appearing therein as two of the fictitious persons named as defendants and set forth their claim to the property and alleged tender of the balance due. The Fredericksens demurred to said answer and later, at the time of trial, dismissed the action as to them. The McCoskers, junior, defaulted, and judgment was entered in favor of the Fredericksens.
It is that judgment upon which the Fredericksens primarily rely in this proceeding. In fact, at the time of trial, they introduced the record thereof and then rested, offering no other evidence. On October 11, 1951, the McCoskers, senior, by letter tendered to the Fredericksens the balance then due on the contract, plus costs, interest and attorneys fees. The McCoskers' tender was refused, and shortly thereafter a second tender of $10,500 was made, but it was likewise rejected by the Fredericksens. Subsequently the McCoskers paid into court the sum so tendered. No demand has ever been made upon the McCoskers, senior, by the Fredericksens, nor have the Fredericksens ever given the McCoskers, senior, any notice of forfeiture of their interest in the land.
In the meantime other actions were instituted by the Fredericksens; one an unlawful detainer action resulting in a judgment in favor of the McCoskers which this court affirmed on appeal, 143 Cal.App.2d 114, 299 P.2d 908; another in which the trial court issued an alias writ of possession now before this court and appearing in 308 P.2d 840; and the third, a proceeding in prohibition which was heretofore denied by this court and by the Supreme Court.
It is the Fredericksens' first contention that the judgment which they obtained quieting their title against the McCoskers, junior, and terminating the latters' interest in the property also terminated any interest the McCoskers, senior, may have had in the property. No appeal was taken in that action. However when the judgment in the unlawful detainer action was before this court, a like contention was made and we there held: 'The judgment terminated the contract as to the McCoskers, junior, but had no effect as to the interests of the McCoskers, senior, who were in possession under a recorded judgment showing that, notwithstanding they did not appear to have been named in the contract as purchasers, they were in fact parties thereto entitled to claim one-half interest accruing to the McCoskers, junior, by the execution of that contract and the part payment of the purchase money. This record of the judgment between the McCoskers, with the possession of the McCoskers, senior, under that judgment, gave notice to appellants that they were claiming title and the right to complete title under the Hand contract. Proper inquiry under such constructive notice would have revealed to appellants the proceedings in execution of the McCosker v. McCosker judgment, whereby the McCoskers, senior, purchased the remaining interest of the McCoskers, junior; and though they began their action just before the recordation of the certificate of sale, yet under the circumstances they were charged with knowledge of the interest of the McCoskers, senior, passing by the sale. When, therefore, they omitted the McCoskers, senior, in their action they brought against the McCoskers, junior, they did so, knowing that any judgment that they might obtain in such an action would not foreclose the rights of the McCoskers, senior, whom they had not only omitted to name as parties, but whom they had excluded from participation in the litigation. Having thus achieved their exclusion, they cannot thereafter be heard to claim that the McCoskers, senior, were in anywise affected or their interest terminated by the judgment they thereafter procured.' 143 Cal.App.2d 114, 299 P.2d 908, 910. What we held in that case is equally applicable to the contention now made by the Fredericksens.
It is next contended that in the present case the McCoskers failed to plead or prove, and the court failed to find, any facts from which the fairness or reasonableness or adequacy of consideration as to the appellants could be ascertained. The record in this regard shows that the second amended complaint of the McCoskers alleged 'that said contract, a copy of which is hereto attached and made a part hereof, is fair and reasonable, and is supported by an adequate consideration'; that the demurrer of the Fredericksens on the ground that said complaint did not state sufficient facts to constitute a cause of action, in that it failed to allege with particularity the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of consideration was overruled by the court; that the answer of the Fredericksens denied generally the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of the consideration and set up as an affirmative defense the judgment obtained by them in the quiet title action against the McCoskers, junior, as a bar to this proceeding. Thereafter on motion the McCoskers filed an amendment to their second complaint wherein the facts were set forth in greater detail. No demurrer was filed thereto, and by stipulation of the parties it was agreed that all defenses pleaded by the Fredericksens should, in their answer to the second amended complaint, be deemed pleaded as against the amended complaint. Thus at the trial there was before the court the original contract which provided for an overall purchase price of $16,000, $6,000 of which was paid in cash and the balance to be due seven years thereafter with interest at 5 percent; that the Hands, the original sellers, discounted the balance of $10,000 and conveyed their interest in the property, subject to the rights of the purchasers, for the sum of $8,000; that thereby the Fredericksens received 6.25 percent on their investment rather than the 5 percent as set forth in the contract; and that the contract was purchased by the Fredericksens as an investment. All of this evidence was noted by the trial judge in his memorandum opinion and the court so found. Although, as the trial court noted, this was the only evidence of value at the time of the execution of the agreement, we believe it was ample to support the findings of the court as to reasonableness and adequacy of consideration at that time. Drullinger v. Erskine, 71 Cal.App.2d 492, 163 P.2d 48.
The fact that the value of the land rose appreciably from the date of the original agreement, 1944, to the date of the hearing, ten years later in 1954, is not material when consideration is given to the generally great increase in land values.
Even if we assume that defendants' demurrer to the second amended complaint should have been sustained, and even if we assume that defendants' general denial of plaintiffs' allegation of fairness, reasonableness and adequacy raised an issue in that regard, see Foley v. Cowan, 80 Cal.App.2d 70, 181 P.2d 410; nevertheless we cannot say that a miscarriage of justice resulted. Baker v. Miller, 190 Cal. 263, 212 P. 11; Bonney v. Petty, 125 Cal.App. 527, 13 P.2d 969. There can be no question but that the parties considered the issue as one before the court, although no evidence was offered on the issue by the defendants. Furthermore findings in this regard were made by the court in favor of plaintiffs and were entered. Under such circumstances, and in the absence of any showing of prejudice, the plaintiffs' complaint and the evidence in support thereof must be held to have been sufficient.
It is next contended by the Fredericksens that the finding that they had waived the provisions of the contract, making time of the essence and providing for a forfeiture in case of default, is unsupported. Although the finding in this regard may be questioned, it does not appear that the trial court abused its discretion in relieving the McCoskers from default under the provisions of section 3275 of the Civil Code, nor do the Fredericksens challenge the findings which the court made on this issue.
Appellants finally contend that the finding that the McCoskers were the owners of the property is likewise open to criticism; however, since such finding was unnecessary to a determination of the case, it cannot be said that it was prejudicial to the Fredericksens.
The judgment is affirmed.
PEEK, Justice.
VAN DYKE, P. J., and SCHOTTKY, J., concur.

The Supreme Court, in a judgment delivered on Thursday upheld the termination of seven army personnel from their services, who were allegedly, caught spying for Pakistan in Samba in 1978.
A three-judge Bench of the Apex Court consisting of Justice BS Chauhan, Justice MY Eqbal and Justice J Chelameswar upheld the termination by setting aside the 2010 Delhi High Court judgment quashing the dismissal orders against Major SP Sharma, Captain Arun Sharma, Captain JS Yadav, Captain VK Dewan, Major Kulwant Singh, Major Ajwani and Major RK Midha, in an appeal filed by the Union of Indian from the judgment of the Delhi High Court.
In 1975 the presence of an espionage racket in Indian Army came to be detected for the first time and the involvement of a number of Officers in espionage activities came to be established. A number of Officers were Court Martialled and sentenced to Rigorous Imprisonment of varying terms. 13 Officers were terminated form their service under the Army Act, 1950. The Delhi High Court set aside termination Orders of the respondents by its Judgment dated 21.12.2000 holding that there was no sufficient ground to charge them as spies.
The Additional Solicitor General appeared for the Appellants submitted that the Supreme Court has consistently held that the ambit of the doctrine of pleasure, contained under Article 310, is an absolute power, save to the extent provided otherwise by an express provision of the Constitution.The power under Article 310 also encompasses the power to dismiss an employee or officer for misconduct and Article 311 is inapplicable in respect of an employee or officer of the armed forces.
After hearing both sides, the Bench held that the President had rightly terminated the services of the respondents as their continuance would be a threat to the national security. Further it reprimanded the High Court for taking an erroneous view "despite the fact that there was sufficient material to prove the guilt of the accused officers for spying at the behest of Pakistan".
In fact the 'pleasure doctrine' is a Constitutional necessity, for the reasons that the difficulty in dismissing those servants whose continuance in office is detrimental to the State would, in case necessity arises to prove some offence to the satisfaction of the court, be such as to seriously impede the working of public service" The Bench observed.
"In our considered opinion as far as security is concerned, the safeguard available to civil servants under Article 311 is not available to defence personnel as judicial review is very limited. In cases where continuance of Army officers in service is not practicable for security purposes and there is loss of confidence and potential risk to the security issue then such officers can be removed under the pleasure doctrine. Bench added.
It further observed that the records clearly established that the inquiry against these officers was initiated by the Army headquarters, Director of Military Intelligence and the file went from the Chief of the Army staff to the Ministry of Defence with strong recommendations to terminate their services in the interest of security of the state. "On the basis of the material available, it cannot be held that the impugned order of termination was malafide or arbitrary as alleged by the officers," the SC added. On the basis of these findings, the Apex Court set aside the judgment of the Delhi High Court.


I have come to Bhubaneshwar, which is one of the project research sites under the India Research Initiative to provide training to the research team at the local site on the research priority setting exercise which we had taken global in August through a workshop held by the Public Health Foundation of India in collaboration with the Institute of Tropical Medicine, Antwerp, Belgium and the Hans Hoheisen Wildlife Research Station, University of Pretoria, South Africa. I had written about the event in a previous update.
The research priority setting in the context of the state of Odisha, in eastern India is quite distinct from the context we discussed in the global stage. On one hand this exercise, through multiple training workshops, such as this one, enhances the research capacity in the public health cadres at all the research sites; and on the other, it helps to create local, context-specific, customized priorities that can then be investigated by the interested agencies.
One particular aspect of interest in Odisha is the presence of forest fringes in the peri-urban areas. These forest-fringes create a unique interface for interaction between human-domestic animal-wildlife, creating a unique ecosystem for disease or pathogen emergence. The focus of the training workshop here is to provide the researchers at my host institution, the KIIT School of Public Health, Bhubaneshwar, with the skills needed to independently conduct the exercise.
The program was initially scheduled to be for two days, but has spilled over for a couple of hours into the third day as well. Tomorrow I shall conclude the training workshop and establish timelines for the future outcomes of the prioritization process per se.
In addition, in the three days I have been here in Odisha, I have also conducted a stakeholder analysis in which I am trying to locate micro-level and meso-level stakeholders who can give me a value map for their personal perceptions regarding the role they can play in a policy-environment. This stakeholder analysis will let us understand the power dynamic at different levels: the macro level (national level stakeholders), the meso level (state level stakeholders) and the micro level (policy-target level stakeholders). This, in turn, will form the basis of understanding the gaps in capacity and levels of policy absorption that can happen at the different levels.
The stakeholder mapping and analysis processes have typically been used in industrial and economic settings. To the best of my knowledge, no other agency has conducted a stakeholder mapping and analysis for zoonoses and emerging infectious diseases, especially in the Indian context. From the initial brush I have had with the data, it appears that the outcomes are going to be of great interest, both from the policy-maker and target-stakeholder perspectives.
Publication: Evidence-based medicine meets person centred care: a collaborative perspective on the relationship.
This short commentary was published in the Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice and it was propelled by a discussion which took place on a private email list serve regarding the role EBM might play in the emerging fields of person centred medicine and precision medicine. Unfortunately, the article is behind a pay wall!
Price AI, Djulbegovic B, Biswas R, Chatterjee P. Evidence-based medicine meets person centred care: a collaborative perspective on the relationship. J Eval Clin Pract. 2015 Sep 10. doi: 10.1111/jep.12434. [Epub ahead of print] PubMed PMID: 26358758.
In a recent list-serve, the way forward for evidence-based medicine was discussed. The purpose of this paper was to share the reflections and multiple perspectives discussed in this peer-to-peer encounter and to invite the reader to think with a mind for positive change in the practice of health care. Let us begin with a simple question. What if we dared to look at evidence-based medicine (EBM) and informed shared decision making like two wheels on a bike? They both need to be full of substance, well connected, lubricated and working in balance, propelled and guided by a competent driver, with good vision to get the bike where we want it to go. We need all the tools in the toolkit for the bike to stay operational and to meet the needs of the driver. By the same rationale, evidence alone is necessary but not sufficient for decision making; values are necessary and if neglected, may default to feelings based on social pressures and peer influence. Medical decisions, even shared ones, lack focus without evidence and application. Just as a bike may need a tune up from time to time to maintain optimal performance, EBM may benefit from a tune up where we challenge ourselves to move away from general assumptions and traditions and instead think clearly about the issues we face and how to ask well-formed, specific questions to get the answers to meet the needs we face in health care.
I recently spoke at a workshop on understanding how to go about doing research prioritization for prevention and control of zoonotic diseases at the Hans Hoheisen Wildlife Research Station, which is affiliated to the University of Pretoria, South Africa.

In course of the two-day event, we trained the participants in the methodology that had been adopted by the Roadmap for the Control of Zoonoses in India (RCZI) Initiative to define the research priorities in the Indian setting. In the days ahead, each of the country investigators shall initiate a research prioritization exercise in their own country and hopefully we shall come together by the middle of 2016 to publish the findings from these endeavors. Such a multi-country approach to understanding the knowledge gaps and knowledge needs with respect to zoonotic disease control and prevention is unprecedented and we hope to present the consolidated findings at the One Health Conference in Melbourne in December 2016 to a larger audience to bring about more intense discussion on the matter.
The results are likely to result in a better understanding of the research and informational needs landscape with respect to zoonotic diseases and emerging infectious diseases. Armed with this systematic understanding of research needs within a local context, we can then proceed to make informed policy and funding decisions to fuel the most critically needed issues towards their solution.

Benefits of Family Gaming
Learn more about Minecraft at the upcoming Tulsa Pop Culture Expo, Nov. 2-3, 2019
Tara Rittler,
Some parents are taking an "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" approach to their children's interest in video gaming, incorporating video games into the "Family Game Night." Playing video games with your children might help you understand the appeal of gaming as well as give you an opportunity to actively support your child's interest. In moderation, video games can be a means of bringing a family closer together, fostering communication and mutual encouragement.
A good game to begin with might be Minecraft. With more than 91 million monthly players, Minecraft remains one of the most popular games today. Minecraft encourages creative exploration and world-building, making it a far more palatable game to parents than a first-person shooter. Plus, some say, Minecraft offers educational benefits.
Parents and Minecraft fans can learn more about Minecraft at Tulsa Pop Culture Expo, set for early November at Woodland Hills Mall. The event will feature Minecraft gaming activities sponsored by Microsoft.
Arthur Greeno, a founding member and fundraising chair of Tulsa Pop! Kids and Tulsa Pop Culture Expo, reminds parents that it's all about balance. "Some of our job as parents is to not only teach the kids, but engage them in different things. Literacy is so important. Creativity and problem solving are just as important. Too much reading can hinder someone from social skills; too much gaming can as well."
If you're unfamiliar with Minecraft, the basic mechanics are that you harvest resources and use them to build structures, from simple shelters to elaborate ecosystems. There are five different game modes that determine how you and the game interact. Perhaps the most popular one for younger kids would be "Creative" mode, where players explore and build their world.
The Family That Games Together…
The American Academy of Pediatrics advises, "Co-view, co-play and co-engage with your children when they are using screens — it encourages social interactions, bonding, and learning…It is a good way to demonstrate good sportsmanship and gaming etiquette…Don't just monitor children online, interact with them – you can understand what they are doing and be a part of it."
Research done by Arizona State University professor Elisabeth Hayes and her colleagues found that playing video games together can facilitate conversation between parents and their children, rather than having games become a source of conflict — for example, if the parent feels the games are pulling the child away from family interaction.
Professor Hayes encourages parents take the opportunity for "teaching moments" when they play video games with their children. She points out "that many video games are meant to be shared and can teach young people about science, literacy and problem solving."
Alicia Kobilnyk, a local mother of two, agrees. "We like gaming as a family because it provides good opportunities for dialogue…and because it's fun to achieve things together." The Kobilnyk family's favorite games include Mario Cart and Breath of the Wild, a recent release from the Zelda franchise.
While Minecraft can be a multiplayer game, it's not quite as straightforward as games like Mario Kart. According to TulsaKids blogger Kristi Roe Owen, their Xbox version has a split-screen option where up to four players can play at once, but it's harder to see the screen and not quite as enjoyable.
Rather, she says, her family enjoys interacting via Minecraft by showing each other what they've built and allowing other family members to interact with the designer's creation, or by setting creative challenges for one another. "My kids will be like, 'We're all going to build a Kawaii amusement park. Yours is over there, my part is over here, etc. And then they share them when they're done," Roe Owen says.
Movie nights can provide good bonding opportunities for families and provoke discussion; however, gaming together offers the additional benefit of working toward a common goal, of being each other's cheerleaders and learning to work through conflict.
Roe Owen and her family enjoy playing Portal and BioShock together. She says, "There is…a level of empathy and communication going on. I can end up struggling and getting frustrated, and the kids will say, 'Oh, Mom, you're doing great' and just being super encouraging."
Beyond Minecraft
If your child is a fan of Minecraft, consider supplementing their game time with these activities:
Build a Minecraft costume. Do you have some cardboard boxes lying around? Minecraft's blocky look makes it an excellent source of inspiration for a good old-fashioned cardboard costume.
Arts and (Mine)craft. Besides creating your own costume, a Google search for "Minecraft crafts" will result in plenty of potential projects, using materials from paper to felt to yarn.
Read a Minecraft novel. It may not surprise you to learn that there is a plethora of "Official Minecraft Novels" available for sale. Many of these have received positive reviews on Amazon.
Check out a Minecraft Build Book. Kristi Roe Owen said that many libraries and bookstores have Minecraft Build Books that kids can check out for inspiration.
Minecraft munchies. Yes, there is an entire cookbook dedicated to Minecraft-inspired recipes. Get your kid to help you make some! Pro tip: Don't just Google "Minecraft recipes"—the results will be all about creating things within the game. Googling "Minecraft inspired recipes" yielded much more useful results!
Tulsa Pop Culture Expo will be held November 2-3 at Woodland Hills Mall. In addition to Minecraft Gaming activities sponsored by Microsoft, attendees will have opportunities to meet celebrity guests, including Nick Maley (a creator of Yoda), Bill Goldberg, Summer Glau and more.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel..
Yup, we are going back to Disney, …AGAIN!
Originally we had planned for a fall visit in Oct, for the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. But given all of Leon's problems in school I am wary about taking him out for 5 days mid-year. So we are leaving in 2 months. We will be there from Aug.29 – Sep.8. Unfortunately this does mean that Leon will miss the first day of school. It stinks, but it was the lesser evil. We can't wait.
Things have been busy and hectic around here. Leon is completely off the zoloft and seems to be doing better, and by better I mean not as bad as he was. When people ask how's Leon doing, I usually answer "he is doing good", and in my head I am silently thinking "…well good for Leon, anyway". He is more manageable, but the fact remains that he still has to be managed. Now that school is out, I think things may be a bit easier for Leon now because we will have alot of one-on-one time together. We still have not recieved any word on when his CSE meeting will be, but it should be soon. I am hopeful, the school psycologist seemed very positive about the outcome. We'll just have to wait it out and keep our fingers crossed. I have yet to find him a child psychiatrist to manage his medication, we may go with a neurologist instead, it will all depend on our insurance and what Dr Petrosky thinks. We will meet with him once the school sends me thier neurologist's report for him to include in his assessment.
I am somewhat excited about summer but dreading it too. Summer vacation means I need to be even more 'on', for more time during the day, when it comes to dealing with Leon. Aside from the half day camp he will start next week, I am hoping to fill our summer with play dates, trips to the beach, to the pool, free movies courtesy of REG's Free Family Film Festival , and free bowling courtesy of KidsBowlFree.com. We are also hopeing to get away on one or two weekends to PA to visit his grandparents at the campground were they have a seasonal site.
For myself I would like to put time aside just for me, to work on planning for Disney, organizing my photos, and working on my new hobby of digital scrapbooking. I've been promising to do a trip report on my last two Disney trips for some time now and I figure I better get to it before my next one. And since my photographs are what help me to tell my story I will incorperate my scrap booking into it.
I'm still fiddling with them, .. I am unsure if I really like the first one, but I think the second one is cute. What do you think?


convergance is the only answer.
That is a BIG asumption Eric !!! You mean convergence between Longisquama and theropods - nbut they don not look alike at all !!
with dogma refusing to recognize the real truth.
I think your own statement is dogmatic - you think your idea is correct (theropods is polyphyletic, Longisquama is related to birds), but nobody else does - it doesn't mean you are right and everybody in the whole world who disagrees with you must therefor be wronbg and 'dogmatic' !!!!
You sound like an intelligent personm Eric but your responses sound a little arrogant, and your undrestanding of words like 'paraphyletic' (vs polyphyletic)and 'dogma ' and 'holocaust' is poor.

From certainly one of America's such a lot exclusive economists, a brief, excellent and revelatory booklet: the elemental principles humans most ordinarily get incorrect approximately economics, and the way to consider the topic higher.
Economic proof and Fallacies exposes the most well known fallacies approximately monetary issues--and does so in a full of life demeanour and with out requiring any previous wisdom of economics through the readers. those fallacies contain many ideals extensively disseminated within the media and via politicians, similar to fallacies approximately city difficulties, source of revenue changes, male-female financial changes, in addition to economics fallacies approximately academia, approximately race, and approximately 3rd international nations.
one of many topics of Economic evidence and Fallacies is that fallacies aren't easily loopy rules yet actually have a undeniable plausibility that offers them their staying power--and makes cautious exam in their flaws either priceless and significant, in addition to occasionally funny.
Written within the effortless to keep on with form of the author's Basic Economics, this most up-to-date publication is ready to cross into larger intensity, with genuine international examples, on particular matters.
Huerta de Soto, professor of economics on the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Madrid, has made historical past with this big and fascinating treatise that it has and will back, with no inflation, with no company cycles, and with no the commercial instability that has characterised the age of presidency control.
Such a publication as this comes alongside just once each numerous generations: an entire finished treatise on monetary idea. it truly is sweeping, progressive, and devastating--not basically the main prolonged elucidation of Austrian company cycle conception to ever seem in print but in addition a decisive vindication of the Misesian-Rothbardian viewpoint on cash, banking, and the law.
Guido has stated that this is often the main major paintings on cash and banking to seem due to the fact 1912, while Mises's personal ebook used to be released and adjusted the best way all economists thought of the subject.
Those are the details yet, in truth, this in simple terms scratches the outside. certainly, it'd be tough to overestimate the significance of this publication. De Soto offers additionally a safety of the Austrian point of view on company cycles opposed to another concept, defends the a hundred% reserve viewpoint from the viewpoint of Roman and British legislation, takes at the most crucial objections to complete reserve idea, and provides a whole coverage application for radical reform.
It used to be Hülsmann's overview of the Spanish variation that encouraged the interpretation that resulted in this Mises Institute version in English. the result's marvelous: an 875-page masterpiece that totally demolishes the case for fiat forex and critical banking, and indicates that those associations have compromised fiscal balance and freedom, and, in addition, are insupportable in a loose society.
De Soto has set new scholarly criteria with this distinctive dialogue of financial reform from an Austro-libertarian perspective. Huerta de Soto s good elaboration of his arguments alongside those strains makes his treatise a version representation of the Austrian method of the examine of the connection among legislations and economics.
It may possibly take a decade for the complete implications of this ebook to be absorbed yet this a lot is apparent: all severe scholars of those issues must grasp this treatise.
This e-book examines "the nice contraction" of 2007–2010 in the context of the neoliberal globalization that all started within the early Nineteen Eighties. This new section of capitalism drastically enriched the pinnacle five percentage of usa citizens, together with capitalists and monetary managers, yet at an important price to the rustic as an entire.
This e-book constitutes the refereed post-proceedings of the eighth overseas Workshop on Economics of Grids, Clouds, platforms, and providers, GECON 2011, held in Paphos, Cyprus, in December 2011. The nine revised complete papers awarded including five paintings in development papers have been rigorously reviewed and chosen from 27 papers.
Helmut Wagner college of Hagen, Feithstr. one hundred forty, D - 58084 Hagen within the previous few years decisive methodological and thematic focal issues that are very important for useful financial coverage were built within the conception of financial and alternate fee coverage. This ebook is anxious with those advancements, their evaluation and the open questions that have nonetheless now not been solved.
Even though real incomes at the beginning of the twentieth century were only a fraction of what they were at the end, a smaller percentage of those smaller incomes was sufficient to cover housing costs. Back then, the rule of thumb was that housing costs— whether rents or mortgage payments— should not take more than one-fourth of a persons income. In 1901, housing costs took 23 percent of the average American's income. By 2003, it took 33 percent of a far larger income. In California, where government interventions in housing markets have been especially pervasive, the proportion of income required for housing has increased even more steeply, in an even shorter span of time: 23 Most people know that the San Francisco Bay Area has one of the most expensive housing markets in the nation.
Yes, funny thing. It has among the lowest delinquency, disease and infant mortality rates in the city. It also has the lowest ratio of rent to income in the city. Boy, are those people getting bargains. Let's see.. the child population is just about average for the city, on the nose. 2. The TB rate is very low, less than 1 per ten thousand, can't understand it, it's lower even than Brookline's. In the old days the North End used to be the city's worst spot for tuberculosis, but all that has changed.
24 In Salinas, California, about a hundred miles south of San Francisco, the median price of a home required 60 percent of the median family income in 2006. A real estate agent in that area reported selling a 1,013-square-foot house, more than fifty years old, to an immigrant farm worker for $490,000, with a monthly mortgage payment that took 70 percent of his pay. " Three-quarters of the land in the county is legally blocked from development. 25 W i t h such a severe restriction on supply, high land prices were virtually guaranteed— and therefore also high prices for the housing built on that land.


Thanks to the fashion industry's obsession with young, waif-thin models, real women all over the country are saddled with guilt as they struggle to squeeze into that elusive size 0. But when it comes to women's clothing, the key to feeling beautiful is choosing pieces that are not only fashionable but comfortable, too.
Knowing your body type and choosing the right clothes that complement your body are the next steps to this process. Instead of classifying women as "apples" or "curvy," the Canadian women's clothing line – Nygard – looks beyond these rudimentary labels and strives to treat women like unique jewels.
Emerald. A boyish shape with shoulders the same width as the hips and an undefined waist, Nygard recommends that emerald's get curvy — wear clothing that simulates an hourglass shape by emphasizing your shoulders and hips. Look for jackets that have strong or wide shoulders that make your waist appear smaller, or a peasant blouse that creates shape and interest on top. Rely on belts to pull the eye inward — wide, skinny or anywhere in between.
Diamond. Naturally well-proportioned shoulders and hips with a small and defined waist. Diamonds should seek out clothes that follow that basic frame and keep the shoulders and hips balanced. For instance, V-necks, sweetheart and scoop necklines that square off the shoulders will flatter a diamond's collarbone and neck. Opt for fitted blazers instead of boxy, as well as full, pleated, A-line or pencil skirts with a wide waistband.
We believe in creating a unique retail experience, both in store and online. We believe in great ideas, and doing things a little bit differently.
We believe that a well designed product can have a very real and tangible effect on our everyday live.


All good things must come to an end and that goes for summer on the Outer Banks as well as almost everything else in life. But, if the summer season is coming to an end, it is certainly going out in style with some outstanding music.
It's really all about musical tastes…Classical or Rock.
In this case, however, there may not be a need to choose.
The Don and Catharine Bryan Cultural Series is bringing the Surf and Sounds Chamber Music back for the third time.
We had a chance to see them last year and this quintet is amazing, playing a full range of classical music from different periods. The concerts are free and there are four of them beginning Tuesday August 22, 7:30 p.m. at All Saints Episcopal Church in Southern Shores.
That's followed by an outdoor concert at the Duck Amphitheater at 6:30, and trump to Cape Hatteras Secondary School, and a final performance on Friday at the Dare County Arts Council on Friday evening.
Personal choice for where to see a performance? It has to be the Duck Amphitheater on Wednesday.
Unfortunately that's the same day as the Summer Send-off…Say Goodbye to Summer Party at Roanoke Island Festival Park.
It's a whole day of music, beginning at 3:00 p.m. and ending seven hours later. The headliner is JJ Grey and Mofro. This is a rock band with a big sound—trumpets, trombones and some really tight arrangements. For classic rock fans, think Chicago, only really updated.
Decisions, decisions, decisions…maybe do both. Wednesday at the Summer Send-off and take in the Sir and Sound Chamber Music another day.


Today marks the beginning of the PokerStars Turbo Championship of Online Poker, a series that will feature 65 tournament events taking place over a 12 day time frame. Changes were made to the schedule as well as the format of many events in the series due to player feedback. The TCOOP will run from today until the 29th of January, offering $15 million in total guaranteed prize money.
The Main Event will be one of the larger tournaments on the schedule, taking place on the final day and offering a $2.5 million prize pool. The buy-in for the event is $1,000. For those who cannot pay the $1,000 buy-in, PokerStars will be offering a lower stakes version of the Main Event, with a $250,000 guarantee with only $27 to be paid to participate.
Satellites are running at the site, starting at $0.11 or 1 StarsCoin, making it very affordable for players to try and win a seat to an event of the TCOOP.
Due to player feedback, PokerStars decided to make a few changes to the tournament schedule. The companion event to the Main Event was added as players wanted a lower stakes option. After the success of the Mini-WCOOP that offered low stakes options, during the WCOOP, it seemed like the right call for the brand.
Event start times for Saturday and Sunday during the schedule will be compressed at a reasonable time. Start times will be set for 8am or 10am. This means that tournaments will end around 18.30pm. Buy-ins have also been changed for a few events. The High Roller event actually saw an increase to $3,000 as an entry fee.
The 2017 TCOOP information page at PokerStars offers all the important details including the full list of tournaments, with start times, buy-ins and guarantees. Visit PokerStars today to see the full schedule of events and register or take part in satellites to earn a seat.


► Be sure to make your Anime List accessible.
► Remember to turn in your completed challenges in Conquered Challenges.
► Please be cooperative if you notice any error or questionable requirements in challenges.
► Report if you notice any violation of the rules.
► If you participate on a harder difficulty for a challenge you've previously completed you may quote your old post.
► For second or third attempt for a challenge with multiple difficulties the higher CPs will replace lower.
► If you've completed at least one challenge be sure to look up your code from the Memorial Hall.
Memorial Hall keeps a record of every Anime Watching Challenge you've ever completed in Carmine Sky. If you've finished at least one challenge your record will be added to the database. For each challenge, you receive a particular amount of Crimson Points otherwise called CP. Members with highest CP will be displayed in the Leader Board along with the number of challenges they have finished and the amount of CP they have collected. If CP is a tie then the number of challenges will count.
After completing at least one challenge you will receive a unique code that will be used to record CPs to your account in Memorial Hall, Codes are used as they remain unchanged whereas usernames are changed often. It also makes it 10 times easier for both you and admins your locate your account. If you don't know or forgot your code, you can always check the record book in the memorial hall.
Most challenges do not have a time limit and can be completed whenever. Monthly and Annual Challenges are the exception. A Monthly Challenge spans for one month and an Annual Challenge spans for a year. After the expiration of the given time limit the participation for that challenge will be closed. However, participants will be given an extra amount of time to turn in the challenge if they have completed it.
Anime you have seen before participating in a challenge are referred to as pre-watched. Most challenges are likely to allow pre-watched, but some don't. Challenges that does not allow pre-watched are likely to offer more CP (Crimson Points).
If a challenge does not allow previously seen anime it will certainly be stated in the post.
If a challenge does not state whether previously is allowed or not, assume that it's allowed.
Previously started are taken into special consideration and will be allowed most of the time for challenges that does not allow previously seen, unless there are special circumstances.
Some rare individuals may prefer to watch anime at a higher speed. Even if you watch it with just as much understanding, you cannot use them as entries for challenges as they can roughly reduce the difficulty 2 to 4 times, which will not be fair for the rest.
✦ Usually if an error is detected during verification, the turn in will simply be regarded as invalid and the member will have to turn in again after correcting the errors.
✦ If an error avoids being detected during verification and is noticed after the badge is delivered, the member will be notified via PM and the CP will be deducted until it's corrected and turned in again.
✦ The verification process can easily be deceived if one wishes to do so. Therefore, we hope that all participants will stay true to the trust placed on them by the club. However, if an attempt to deceive the process is proven, further participation in challenges will not be allowed.

Why Nicole Richie won't apologize for her 'wild behavior'
By Fox News
Nicole Richie in 2003 (left) and 2016 (right) Reuters; Getty Images
Nicole Richie knows she made some "bad decisions" during her younger years in the spotlight, but she refuses to apologize for it.
"I hear a lot of 'Wow, you once looked like this, but now you look like this!' and 'You once were wild, and now you're an angel!'" the 35-year-old wrote in an essay for Lena Dunham's Lenny Letter. "I am not going to apologize for being me so you can get your triumphant ending."
Richie said she accepts her past "wild child" days.
The starlet had repeated arrests from 2002 to 2007. She was on probation through 2010.
"With my family and close friends, I am owning my past … not trying to hide from it, not trying to change it, just allowing it to help propel me forward."
The former reality star believes living out her mistakes in the limelight kept her from repeating them.
"I realized I am actually extremely thankful I was so beastly in front of the world for a few reasons. It's so bad in people's minds that there's nothing that can embarrass me now," she wrote. "I also truly believe if I didn't have so many eyes on me, it would've been easier for me to slip back into my reckless behavior. I had people rooting me on and watching me at a time when I needed that."

Ciara and Russell Wilson expecting their first baby


Just checked bill while in UAE..
2 phone calls to Aust cost me $350!!!
Am i going to get stung for that...or does it reduce at bill time??
That will depend on what plan you are on. If your plan includes unlimited calls while roaming, then the charge will disappear when the bill is generated.
Going by the plan it states unlimited voice calls with the international day pass.....so i believe the value on the bill will dissappear?
That is correct. It shows in the pending charges as this is before any plan benefits have been applied. When the bill is issues the benefits are applied and those charges would be negated for any eligible calls.
Just to follow up on this if you see any unexpected charges on your bill please feel free to contact our LiveChat team or give us a call on +61 439 125 109 (toll free from a Telstra mobile while overseas) to discuss this further.

These fancy pieces of paper qualify him to live in poverty for the rest of time while he re-evaluates his life choices. Originally hailing from Tasmania, Adam's second head was removed at birth. After someone joked that he was possibly talented at performing, he decided it would be a great idea to move to Melbourne in order to pursue this vague yet enticing dream.
Over the last number of years, he has had the chance to become versed in a variety of artistic skills, which the average bogan outside Flinders Street Station would probably describe as "art wank". His honours year at Monash investigated the writing and possible staging of the spy thriller genre as a drama in contemporary theatre, culminating in the partial staging of an original, full length play text. This will probably never be staged fully because it was terrible.
Adam has performed at the Melbourne Fringe Festival with collaborator Jorge Tsipos with whom he has also co-written and performed the original work Strengths & Weaknesses.
Ever the optimist, he has completed his Masters Degree in Arts and Cultural Management at the University of Melbourne in some abstract hope at one day making a living out of the arts.


Deaths caused by opioid overdose have increased dramatically over the past few years. In 2015, over 33,000 Americans died as a result of overdose from heroin or opioid/opiate painkillers, pushing the number of overdose deaths higher than the number of people killed annually in vehicle crashes.
Heroin, which is illegally trafficked in the U.S., frequently becomes the go-to drug when painkillers become too difficult to get. According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), in 2012 about 669,000 Americans reported using heroin in the past year, a number that has been on the rise since 2007. Will County had a record 77 people die of heroin overdose in 2016.
Local authorities only recently began tracking specific types of opioids and their impact on local overdose statistics. In 2016, more than 1,000 Northeastern Illinois residents died in 2016 from overdoses involving heroin and other opioids such as opioid painkillers, including fentanyl and oxycodone.
Research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found that 80% of heroin users started by using prescription opioid medications, including Vicodin (hydrocodone), OxyContin (oxycodone) and many others. Information about heroin and the mechanisms behind the addiction can be found at the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) website.

Li Yundi
China's pianist hits wrong notes
Nov 13, 2015 (WiC 303)
Born in Chongqing in October 1982, Li Yundi is a classical pianist who became the youngest person to win the International Frederic Chopin Piano Competition. He comes from a family of non-musicians – both his parents worked for Sichuan Chongqing Steel – but owing to his talent studied at an arts school in Shenzhen and later in Hanover.
A young prodigy…
In 2003 Li's recital of Liszt was named Best CD of the Year by the New York Times. He later signed a recording contract with EMI with the goal of recording the full solo works for piano by Chopin. However, Li frequently lost out in comparisons to fellow Chinese piano prodigy Lang Lang. Much less expressive than his compatriot, Li lost ground to Lang's showmanship, which also saw Lang chosen to play at Beijing's 2008 Olympic Opening Ceremony.
Why is Li in the news?
Questions about his commitment were widespread last week when he played a series of bum notes during a concert in Seoul. Afterwards Li was quick to apologise on his weibo: "I'm so sorry for my mistakes during the concert in Seoul yesterday, and I hereby express my apology to fans and friends! Thanks so much for the tolerance and support of the orchestra and the conductor. As a pianist I know that for whatever reason I must deliver a 100% performance on the stage, so any explanation is pale."
Li's management team added a further apology noting that he didn't want to pass the buck but that the errors in his performance were due to "fatigue from travel".
Critics had other explanations, however, including that Li has been spending too much time with his celebrity pals and that by appearing too often on TV entertainment shows his piano practice must have been suffering.

The philosophy at Advanced Integrative Healthcare (AIH) is that the best health care happens when the doctor and the patient work as partners. Patient satisfaction is best achieved by identifying a patient's true concerns, meeting those as best as possible, and that is accompanied by the doctor acting on what he believes to be best for the patient in the overall scheme of things. The doctor is not an authoritarian figure whose advice is flawless or infallible. The doctor is just as human as the patient. The doctor, because of what he has studied and experienced, is really an advisor and consultant to the patient. The word "doctor" means teacher, and we believe that teaching the patient is a vital part of medical care. That also means that patients as students need to do their "homework" in order to achieve optimum health.
The "magic bullet" philosophy of medicine does not prevail at Advanced Integrative Healthcare. Rather we believe that disease as well as wellness is due to a large number of factors coming together in the patient's life at that time. We also believe that, generally speaking, the body is always trying to heal itself. For example, when you cut yourself, the skin heals all by itself as long as it's allowed to, and no impediments are put in the way. You don't need to take medicine or tell the body to heal in order for it to heal itself. It just knows how. We have the inherent, God-given ability to become well.
It is also our philosophy that there are many ways in which people can get well. There is a place for conventional medicine, as well as a place for so-called "alternative" medicine. Other healers like herbalists, chiropractors, naturopaths, naprapaths, massage therapists, and others can make huge differences in a patient's health. We readily acknowledge that allopathic mainstream medicine does not have the corner on effective treatment for all of mankind's health problems.
We value listening to our patients as best we can. We want our patients to leave the office feeling heard, and that we did the best we could to meet their needs that day. Family Practice is the medical specialty that provides a wide variety of medical care to the entire family from infants to the elderly. We provide preventive care as well as treatment for the vast majority of common ills. We strongly feel that diet and lifestyle has a great deal to do with health.
Optimal health means wellness and balance in all areas of your life – physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
He tries to work on the underlying causes of illness rather than simply treating the symptoms. He strongly encourages dietary and lifestyle changes. The office provides a variety of nutritional supplements that are used to support good health.

LBP on Medicaid work requirements
Submitted by merenberg on February 19th, 2018
Gov. John Bel Edwards said this week that his administration is "actively working" to develop a work requirement plan for able-bodied Medicaid recipients. The governor's announcement came on the same week that President Donald Trump's administration announced that it would start approving such plans, which had never before been allowed in the Medicaid program. In a letter outlining the new policy, Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services deputy administrator Brian Neele states that work requirements promote health and well-being. However, studies have shown that work requirements may actually decrease work participation by denying people access to health care and add additional expenses to state government. Furthermore, a majority of working-age Medicaid beneficiaries are already working, in school or seeking work. The AP's Melinda Deslatte reports.
"We're looking at people who are able-bodied, and it has to accommodate those who are in work training or education," he said. "We're looking for a requirement that actually make sense." ... The federal guidelines say the administration would consider work requirements for "able-bodied, working-age" Medicaid recipients. States could require alternatives to work, including volunteering, caregiving, education, job training and treatment for a substance abuse problem. The guidance said states should exclude pregnant women, disabled people and the elderly and take into account hardships for people in areas with high unemployment, or for people caring for children or elderly relatives.
The legality of work requirements is being questioned by some lawyers, who say they it is in direct opposition to Medicaid's core mission. Section 1115 of the Social Security Act allows states to diverge from certain Medicaid requirements, but only if these changes "further the objectives" of Medicaid. The Washington Post's Amy Goldstein has more:
[Leonardo] Cuello said the argument that work promotes health is "totally contorted...It's a little like saying that rain causes clouds. It's more that people [with Medicaid] get care, which helps them be healthy and makes them able to work." In a letter Thursday to Brian Neale, the CMS deputy director who oversees Medicaid, the organization said the administration's new policy "entirely ignores the wealth of literature regarding the negative health consequences of work requirements" and was issued without any opportunity for public input.
LBP's Jeanie Donovan weighed in on the issue last year as the Senate was considering a bill to mandate work requirements. The bill was shelved amid strong opposition from health and consumer groups.

Classified is one of Canada's most prominent East-Coast Hip-Hop artists, hailing from Nova Scotia and lending his unique take to the scene by way of interesting beats, lyrics and a larger-than-life personality. Recently he kicked off the start of the 2012 year by making a new music video, announcing a tour, and releasing the Joint Effort Mixtape, a collaboration-heavy compilation of some of Classified's earlier work featuring guests like B.o.B., Joe Budden, Choclair, Moka Only and more.
This collection of tracks is less like a new album release and more like a collection of Classified's favourite collaborations. With songs off his recent album, Handshakes and Middle Fingers (2011), such as "Unusual," featuring Joe Budden, and "That Ain't Classy" with Trash from The Liks, to cuts from his 2006 album Hitch Hikin' Music like "Beatin' It" featuring JRDN.
Though diehard fans may not feel the need to pick up an album comprised solely of work from past albums, it serves as a reminder of how far Classified has come, and how far he's likely to go.

Daily Snippets of what happened on this day in Mormon Church History.
150 years ago today - Jul 3, 1870
At 5 o'clock p.m. the First Presidency and Twelve met in the President's Bee Hive Mansion where Albert Carrington was ordained a member of the Twelve Apostles under the hands of Brigham Young, Geo.

Women's History Month: Judy Garland
March 15, 2019 Seletyn Women's History Month - 2019 Leave a comment
Judy Garland (1922-1969), beloved actress. Her iMDB bio reads as follows: "She was born Frances Ethel Gumm on 10 June 1922 in Minnesota, the youngest daughter of vaudevillians Ethel Marion (Milne) and Francis Avent Gumm. Her mother, an ambitious woman gifted in playing various musical instruments, saw the potential in her daughter at the tender age of just 2 years old when Baby Frances repeatedly sang "Jingle Bells" until she was dragged from the stage kicking and screaming during one of their Christmas shows, drafted her into a dance act, entitled "The Gumm Sisters", along with her older sisters Mary Jane Gumm and Virginia Gumm. However, knowing that her youngest daughter would eventually become the biggest star, Ethel soon took Frances out of the act and together they traveled across America where she would perform in nightclubs, cabarets, hotels and theaters solo."
This past Sunday I was able to view The Wizard of Oz on the big screen with my good friend Nau. I have seen the movie hundreds of times but never in a theater. It was great. Loved every second of it! Judy Garland endured a lot of mistreatment during the filming. I will cover that in greater depth in my blog on the movie, but to give you an idea: She was 16 at the time of the filming and beginning to blossom into her teenage years. Because she was playing the part of a ten year old, she was forced to wear a tight binding corset to remain looking young. The munchkins harassed her, oftentimes putting their hand up her skirt. Because of child actor laws, she was supposed to only be on set a certain number of hours. To get around this, hair and makeup would go to her house at 3AM to wake her up there and prepare her for immediate filming upon arriving at the studio. Those are only a few of the items but you get my point.
Hers is truly a heart wrenching story. People saw her on the screen and in the tabloids, living a lavish life, and thought that she had everything she could ever want. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Because of her mother's push for success and her father's closeted homosexuality, Judy's family life was not a happy one. On more than one occasion they were forced to leave a town because of her father's illicit affairs. All of that would change in 1935 when Frances Gumm was signed by MGM and her name changed to Judy Garland (a mash up of "Judy" from a popular song of the time and film critic Robert Garland). Her father would pass later that year from meningitis. Her career faltered after signing MGM, with few to no gigs until she famously sang "You made me love you" at Clark Gable's birthday party in 1937 and finally received the recognition she was due. In ramping up her career, the studio worked her tediously. In an effort to keep her energy up, she was given a plethora of pills by the studio's doctor. To keep her weight where the studio wanted it, amphetamines were added to her pharmaceutical diet. And so began her lifelong battle with addiction.
She was propelled to stardom in 1939 with the release of The Wizard of Oz. Her performance of Over the Rainbow earned her a special juvenile Oscar in 1940. In 1941 she married David Rose, a bandleader who had just divorced Martha Raye two moths earlier. They eloped to Vegas. In 1942 she was forced to abort a pregnancy when MGM and David persuaded her that she needed to keep up her good-girl image. She would be haunted by it for the rest of her life and the action led to the couple separating in 1943. She reluctantly filmed Meet Me In St Louis in 1944 which turned out to be a huge success. It was the first color feature she performed in since Oz. She and the director, Vincente Minnelli fell in love and after the filming of the movie moved in together. They announced their engagement during the filming of They Clock in 1945 (which was directed by Minnelli) and married later that year. After a three month honeymoon in New York, Judy discovered she was pregnant. Liza Minnelli was born via caesarean section on 12 march 1946 and the couple was jubilant. The marriage deteriorated in 1947 when Judy's mental health began to falter with hallucinations, making filming with her difficult. She began an affair with Yul Brynner but soon returned to her husband. Her mental health briefly improved and she began filming Easter Parade with Fred Astaire which was noted as a successful comeback. All would be short lived because at that time she attempted suicide more than once. She was placed in a mental health facility and once again regained her strength. She returned to film in 1949 with In The Good Old Summertime, in which Liza made her film debut in an uncredited cameo. Over the next couple of years she was suspended and replaced during two different films by MGM before making her final film for them in 1950 (Summer Stock). At the age of 28 she was suspended for a third time from MGM and they let her go. Her marriage also came to an end and she was having multiple affairs.
She would travel to London to star at the Palladium while beginning a relationship with Sidney Luft. In 1951 she returned to New York to make an appearance on Broadway when she realized she was pregnant again. She married Sid, making him her third husband. On 21 Nov 1952 she gave birth to her daughter, Lorna Luft. Judy signed with Warner Brothers to remake A Star Is Born. During that time she had affairs with her leading man, James Mason as well as Frank Sinatra. She won a Golden Globe for her performance as Esther Blodgett but lost the Oscar that year to Grace Kelly for her performance in The Country Girl. Judy would return to the theater to work and in 1955 would give birth to her son, Joey Luft. Sid picked up a gambling addiction and lost millions of dollars of Judy's money. She would be nominated again for an Oscar in 1961 for her role in Judgment at Nuremberg. She would lose out to Rita Moreno in West Side Story.
Her addiction to both alcohol and drugs were the topics of numerous headlines. She and Sid separated and finally divorced in 1965 after 13 years of marriage. In 1963 she made her final performance in I Could Go On Singing and in 1965 married her fourth husband, Mark Herron. That marriage lasted only five months. After a number of additional affairs, she would end up in London where she met and married Mickey Deans, the fifth and final husband, in 1969.
She continued working on stage, appearing several times with her daughter Liza. It was during a concert in Chelsea, London, that Judy stumbled into her bathroom late one night and died of an overdose of barbiturates on 22 Jun 1969 at the age of 47. Her daughter Liza Minnelli paid for her funeral, and her former lover James Mason delivered her touching eulogy.
