Life is a series of linked events and nothing just happens, so I "coincidentally" got published with Authorhouse making me fall in the category called an "Indie." If I had not chosen to have my book published as an "Indie" then it would most likely "never" have happened, traditionally. I began this autobiography process in my early stages during recovery. Even after completing my book manuscript, my ability to get/be presented in front of a traditional publisher had extremely low probability if any. Along with all other "coincidences" during my injury, I found my publisher (Authorhouse) and a package that allowed my book to be sold via such retailers like Amazon (global sale), B&N, and Borders. All the drama between that of being traditionally published and independently published is unfortunately an unconstituted bias or "prejudice" endured by the craft of writers' "work" and readers' "enjoyment." The ability to make one's selection solely based on a "brand," gives the concept for ethics (predominantly business) of trust to be open for abuse with power.
"Indie" publishers use the eco-friendly Print On Demand (POD) mainly due to monopolistic control by a larger percentage of traditional publishers, but it also is a system that better enables the "want not, waste not" idea. I'm certain that traditional publishers use POD too, but they also cater to a monopolistic control over specific mass "retailers" (book stores) so their individual isn't "the individual," it's a mortar and brick "store" (or retailer). Certain publishers contract with specific retailers giving specified "intangible" permissions (stocking and promoting only specific brands of books) because it ensures their ultimate goal of selling their product to make money. The reality of this situation is that in the end, it's a business and a business doesn't cater or care about the personal (or the person). The business has many objectives but gets lost and focused to only one primary objective, profitability. Logically, this means that if some traditional publishers have the reputability that enables them to have monopolistic control, you now see the size and depth of its true "grip" (control). So your ability to find my "book" (work) is without any typical commercialized marketing or as I like to call it, gimmicks, but only through my "intangible work" found within this and all its linked sites. This website contains more than buying the book in any of its 3 formats from all retailers, pictures (real not reality based) that link you directly to the autobiography's mentioned site, Wordpress blog etc, but a Google translator for each of its four pages that allows its text content to be translated into over 50 languages allowing for true global supportive visibility to Amazon.

About Downtown Niagara Falls Land Acquisition
The land market in downtown Niagara Falls has historically languished because of a conundrum: while the City's economy was stagnant as it restructured away from its heavy industrial base, parcels near Niagara Falls State Park continued to have high valuation given its proximity to the globally-recognized attraction. Thus, many local and out-of-town investors often practiced land speculation—holding parcels in abeyance for years for higher-than market-rate prices—rather than work to develop these properties themselves. There are several key properties in downtown Niagara Falls that have been largely vacant, partially vacant, or underutilized for as long as 30 years. These properties—many dating to the city's ill-fated urban renewal program in the 1970s and 80s—continue to serve as blighting influences on significant state investments to upgrade Niagara Falls State Park and to open access to the city's waterfront. The Strategic Land Acquisition Program will support new significant downtown mixed-use.
As properties are acquired, USAN will evaluate the proper course of action to re-introduce them into the market. This may involve razing of existing structures; breaking parcels into smaller, more workable sites that can be progressively developed; or in some cases, even master planning larger sites to determine the right mix of future uses and how to best achieve these objectives.
USA Niagara Development Corporation, a subsidiary of ESD, is spearheading this initiative. USA Niagara has retained Practice for Architecture and Urbanism to work on a Downtown Market Study and Development Feasibility Study to assess the Downtown Niagara Falls market and development of recently acquired properties.
Below is a list of properties approved for acquisition and status.
305 Buffalo Avenue
This property was the first acquisition under the program and is a unique parcel of land at the foot of Third Street with its adjacency to Niagara Falls State Park and the upper Niagara River. The one-acre parcel was purchased for $850,000. USAN is currently working with State Parks to construct a new access point to the River along the former Third Street right of way. It will be completed in Fall 2020. Future development of the site will be conducted through a Request for Proposals (RFP) process.
In March 2018, the USAN Board approved the acquisition of this property, which is situated near the terminus of the Riverway near First Street and the American Rapids Bridge, features spectacular views of the upper rapids and fronts both on downtown (along Buffalo Avenue) and Niagara Falls State Park (along Riverway). The vacant, 1.2-acres parcel was purchased for $1.1 million. The previous owner owned the property for over 30 years. USAN is evaluating possible future uses of the site, either through a conventional RFP process or potentially through a joint development with the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation.
Anderson Properties
In March 2019, USAN closed on an acquisition of a portfolio of 31 individual properties totaling approximately 10 acres of land in downtown Niagara Falls. It was announced that USAN will acquire the properties from several limited liability corporations under primary ownership of local businessman Joseph Anderson for the fair market value of $14.7 million.
In July 2019, USAN issued a RFP for the acquisition, rehabilitation/restoration and reuse of four mixed-use properties (441, 466, 500, 512 Third Street) and two vacant lots (503 Main Street and 518 Third Street) in downtown Niagara Falls, N.Y. In January 2020, the USAN Board designated TM Montante Development as the preferred developer for the restoration/rehabilitation of 500 and 512 Third St., as well as an adjacent vacant lot at 518 Third St. and an adjacent parking lot at 503 Main St. The projects will be vibrant, mixed-use commercial developments and are critical for the continued development of the Third Street Business District.
In Summer 2020, asbestos abatement, structure demolition, earthwork, utility work and site preparation in preparation for future development was completed at two blighted downtown properties: 492 Main Street, site of the former Rodeway Inn, and 427 First Street, site of the former "Niagara Snow Park."
Reweaving the Urban Fabric of Downtown Niagara Falls
The program intends to acquire key vacant or underutilized properties near Niagara Falls State Park to secure new significant, new mixed-use development in downtown Niagara Falls that is compatible with adjoining waterfront park and open space resources, while expanding the number of activities available to extend visitor stay.

"It works like this. You put the case on a mobile phone, because you need to connect with device. Put a drop of saliva on the device. Connect the device and start the app, take the test, analyse, and it tells you when is ovulation day."
6. Close of screen reading (English) "Sorry, not today! Try tomorrow"
"In this device is a magnifier. And the app is taking a picture and is analysing this picture actually. So, when you use for a few months this app it can predict the next ovulation day. So, the more you use it the more information you put in the app. The better result you will get."
10. Close of app reading (English) "You are fertile!"
A Croatian startup is hoping to help women across the world track their fertility.
This little device is called Me.Mum and it analyses saliva for the hormone that triggers ovulation in women.
The user puts a drop of saliva in the device that then clicks on to a smartphone case. The camera takes a photo of the saliva and the app analyses the photo to see if the hormone is present.
After a few seconds, the app sends a message telling the woman she "is fertile" or not.
If she is fertile she gets an option to send a push notification to her partner.
"When you use for a few months this app it can predict the next ovulation day. So, the more you use it the more information you put in the app. The better result you will get," she says.
Me.Mum will be available later this year worldwide but the company has not yet set a price for the device.
The CES consumer technology show runs through to 12 January 2018.


Beautiful Winter in our front yard!
This is the first year that Stevo and I are trying to start some Winter Solstice traditions. I'm a little late in posting because life is like that sometimes. I tried to make Solstice cards on my color printer to send out to family and friends but my printer pooped out before I could print more than a few cards. Then I tried to use the color copier down at the drugstore but they don't let civilians use it and the ladies at the counter were clueless and too busy to help. Oh well. Next year I'll plan better.
We did manage to have a nice dinner, a nice outdoor fire in the firepit, some champagne and some homemade eggnog. And we made some thoughtful toasts and wished for World Peace. Not too bad a start! I wanted to light up my labyrinth and walk it but it's covered in about a foot of snow and I wasn't able to find the outline. Again, a little planning is needed.
It's kind of difficult to start new traditions, I think, but it's a good challenge. It gets me out of the traditions that don't really resonate with me anymore and gets me thinking a little more independently. I think everyone should celebrate the things that make sense to them. Stevo and I tend not to limit our thankfulness and loving words and helping people activities to just one day a year. We like to practice those things year-round because that's what makes sense to us. What are your traditions?
Carol was visiting recently (always a treat) and while she was here my dad who died two years ago decided to visit also. This has happened before when I have visited her house. I think my dad is stuck between worlds and not able to move on. When I'm around Carol he knows that he can reach me through her, so he comes around. What happened was that I was lying in bed, not asleep, or I had just woken up from sleep (don't remember) and I felt that someone was walking up to the side of the bed and was reaching out to touch me on the shoulder. I got kind of scared for a second, then I realized it was my dad and I relaxed. I said out loud "Just go away Dad". That sounds kind of harsh doesn't it? He's been hanging around since he died and I don't always have the patience I should have, especially in the middle of the night.
I asked Carol the next morning if she has felt my dad around since she's been visiting and she said he's been bugging her too. It's kind of tough because he won't believe (and never did) that there is anything after you die, he didn't believe in God, and now he's trying to stay latched onto this world. Stubborn. I think maybe he's waiting for my mom to join him, but she's nowhere near ready to go. So I imagine I will continue to feel him around from time to time. I've tried to get him to move on but he doesn't believe in it, so he won't go.
The second night Carol was here, I was awake again in the middle of the night (thank you insomnia, ugh) and I heard footsteps in the hallway, and I heard the door to our laundry room open (it's kind of noisy). I didn't hear the door close, though. When we all got up in the morning I asked Carol and Stevo if they had been walking around in the middle of the night and they both said no. I was the first one up and the laundry room door was still closed. Carol said my dad did come into her room that night, which can only be reached from the hallway by opening the laundry room door.
I've had stuff like this happen a lot at Carol's house and just a few times here at our house. It's not really scary, just more surprising. It's happened enough times that I don't question anymore whether it's real, it's just something that happens. I was telling this to another friend today and she pointed out how on TV or in the movies they make it seem so creepy and scary. But it's not really that way. I suppose it could be if a really evil entity is trying to scare you, but I think you have to learn to not immediately go into fear, or if you do go into fear, to get out of it quickly.
Carol had told us about a TV show from the '90s called "The Others" and I was able to find the full episodes on Youtube. It's an interesting show and the characters drop a lot of gems in the dialogue, one of which was that demons can only get to you if you go into fear. The show was only on for 13 episodes and then got cancelled, but the shows that did air were interesting and worth watching. They do go in for the creep factor a bit, but the show is also almost a primer for the new psychic.
Anyway I sometimes tease Carol about being the Ghost Whisperer. Wouldn't that be a great name for a TV show?
I guess posting about not being attacked put somebody on alert because we started getting attacked again…oh well! The truth is that attacks pop up all the time, most of the time when we are in a vulnerable state. Then they can sneak right in on top of that vulnerability and get into your space. Stevo had that happen the other day when he heard some distressing news about a patient. Almost right away he started to feel nauseated but it wasn't until a bit later that he mentioned it to me and we looked for an attack. Sure enough, they had gotten to his 3rd chakra and attacked it when he was stressing over the bad news.
It's impossible to stop all of those kinds of attacks, but as I've said in the past, the key is to recognize when it's happening, deal with it quickly and heal the area of your energy system that was attacked. A few hours after my last post where I was talking about fear, I got a chance to practice what I preach. Stevo went for a bike ride in the woods and rather than being gone for his normal 2-hour ride, he was gone for 4 hours. That's all I needed for the worrywart in me to come out. I imagined him attacked by a mountain lion, or having a bad crash and lying on the bike trail unconscious. Typical Dooney.
I was kind of laughing at myself, though, because I had just posted about this whole fear issue then got a good lesson in it. ("God is happy, Sabu, he plays with us" – Name that movie). I then had to immediately do an in-person coaching and be on the ball for that. So you have to always be ready to respond to whatever gets thrown at you, right?
Lucky for me I've gotten good on-the-job training from the NWO wankers. I don't think that's how they wanted it to work though, haha.
Ever since our birthdays in late June, Stevo and I have enjoyed a bit of a respite from heavy etheric attacks. According to the Cards of Destiny, the energy in your life changes on your birthday and the challenges you were dealing with from one birthday to the next change to a different set of challenges. Oh joy!
Actually, I find the Cards to be very accurate in my life and other folks have told me the same thing. This coming year is apparently going to be more challenging for Stevo and myself, and this past year has been preparation for that. It doesn't mean we have to go into fear about it, but just be aware that things are probably going to come up that we have to handle with grace and courage.
That's the real challenge of life isn't it? I was talking to a friend the other day who was worried about the rumored FEMA camps in the U.S. and all the other intense information that's out there on the internet right now. I told her there is always going to be some fear challenge out there, especially for those who are awake, but the key is to not get stuck in the fear vibe. Fear is normal but I think the trick is to feel it, process it and move beyond it.
Most of the information out there is meant to put you in fear, so that the darksiders can feed off of it. That's how they work. They literally feed their energy system on your fear. That's why there's so much bad news out there. So, do your best to cut off their energy supply – don't let them feed on your fear. It's a simple concept but not really easy to do. It takes focus and commitment, and you have to learn the etheric skills to do it. Bad things are going to happen in life sometimes, sure. It's not all rainbows and unicorns out there, but how you deal with it is the key.
Last fall Carol gave me a little pocket-sized statue of Jesus and Mary Magdalene that she picked up on her last trip to France. It's supposed to be like a talisman, and I did carry it in my pocket for several weeks. One day, it was simply gone – kind of like my Mary Magdalene HP that I posted about a while ago.
Well…the other day I was hanging up clean clothes in my closet, moving things around, and something dropped on the floor. Lo and behold, it was my little talisman! So what is the deal with my closet? I figure there's a portal there. We know for sure the NSA was using it to send cloaked wankers into our house for a while. Stevo saw one of them once. We've got an HHG up there so maybe now it's only being used for friendly ghosts who are returning the stuff the NSA has stolen from me.
Who knows…life continues to be stranger than fiction.
Yesterday I woke up and was immediately psychically attacked. I felt a headache while laying in bed, which is unusual for me, and as I got up and started my morning routine I felt worse and worse. By the time I finished making the coffee, I felt like I was going to die. I went to lay down on the couch and Stevo told me I was being attacked and started boosting me.
It was quite strange. I felt all the energy leaving my body. Other than the headache I wasn't feeling pain. My heart didn't hurt like a heart attack, I just felt like I was going to throw up, pass out and die. Stevo told me that someone was cording my 3rd chakra with a huge energy cord, which explains the feeling that my energy was draining away…it was! So he handed my a big Golden Lemurian and I started boosting my attacker while Stevo was working on me.
This is the hardest time to boost, when you feel awful like that, but it's also the most important time to boost. You have to defend yourself. What if Stevo wasn't there when this happened? I would have had to do it myself. It's important to fight back and not be a victim and sometimes you have to do it in very difficult circumstances, such as being attacked or watching a loved one being attacked. When my dogs were being attacked a few months ago it was hard to concentrate on boosting, but we did it. If you can just remember to boost and do it for 15 seconds or so, suddenly it will become easier, then you can continue to fend off the attack and send the energy back to your attacker.
I realize this is difficult. I'm not saying it's not, and I'm so lucky to have a husband who can help me. But if you are being attacked you have to fight for your life. As the old saying goes, "Don't get mad, get even". I'd amend that to say "don't get mad, get loving".
The Native Americans will say "this is a good day to die". Yesterday was a good day to die for me, but I chose to live instead.
Only a coward would attack a dog!
Brave Sammy wearing one of Aunt Carol's HP's.
It's been a strange weekend here at Casa Smith-Weise. Yesterday morning Sammy came in from his morning constitutional shaking and gagging like he was about to throw up. We immediately put the zapper on him thinking he may have eaten something outside that disagreed with him. The day before he had developed a couple of hives on his head but they went away overnight. So, zapping, and I ran energy on him and then we gave him some charcoal biscuits to soak up any toxins he might have ingested. After a couple of hours he was much better and that afternoon he was back to normal in every way. Yay!
This morning, it happened all over again. If he had eaten something two days previously that upset him, it would have passed out of him by now since he'd had several bowel movements. So again I put the zapper on him and ran energy. He looked really miserable and I covered him with a blanket as he lay in front of the fireplace. Suddenly, an hour after it all started, he picked up his head, wagged his tail and was perfectly fine! At this point I became suspicious, and after talking it over with Stevo we were pretty sure this was an energy attack.
Since Sunday is our chat day, I got in the chat with Carol, and Don was able to join us from Belize, where he and Francisco are on the first leg of their Costa Rican journey. I told Carol what was going on and that we suspected beaming and she confirmed it immediately. We saw that it was coming from a satellite, not locally, and it was coming from two sources. We put a dome of mirrors up, or I should say Carol's alter ego Giant Carol did, and I put mirrors around Stevo and myself and all our animals.
Then, we went hunting. Rather than go up a chain of command of attackers like we used to, I simply asked to see the source of the beaming. I got a flash of an image – a praying mantis. I didn't actually type into the chat window that I saw a praying mantis, just that I saw an insect. A minute later, Carol typed in the words praying mantis.
So yes, my life is weirder than science fiction. We were being beamed with some kind of scalar wave by a giant praying mantis. Oh, did I mention the bug was doing this from another dimension? They can't attack us from our own timeline anymore because it's to easy for us to see and disable them, so for more than a year they've been attacking us from other dimensions, kind of like hiding in a hunting blind. Luckily, our etheric friends have helped us see this tactic and we are still able to stop attacks and disable the attackers.
Today was no different. I realized in talking to Carol and Don that several things that happened this weekend pointed to an attack. The way Sammy became suddenly ill, then suddenly well, like a switch had been flipped; me waking up with a sore back on Saturday for no reason; a little rosemary tree that had been in the window to get some sunshine was suddenly dead like it had been fried; at the same time Sammy was sick, Molly was wheezing and our cat Boots was throwing up. I think they have been trying to beam us through the windows. They can't just come through the roof anymore because when we had our roof rebuilt 2 years ago we had the builders put high-grade aluminum foil and orgonite all over the roof. Stevo and I both wear HP's 24/7 so beaming doesn't really affect us much, but the dogs were vulnerable when they went outside. So, I rigged up a couple of extra HP's to their collars for protection.
I feel this was a direct reprisal for helping Don and Francisco on Friday afternoon as they waded through the red tape in Customs in Belize. Stevo and I boosted for several hours. Carol also felt really strange energy at her house all weekend. We found that Giant Carol had already protected her with a mirrored dome. The darksiders don't want any of the Carribean area gifted, of course, and they don't want Don to establish any ties in Costa Rica. Too bad, so sad, as Carol said today. The NWO got mad at us for helping and couldn't really get to us, so they attacked our dogs. Talk about cowardly behavior! Shame on you, you secret handshake wankers!
It's hard to believe that it's already the end of 2014. It seems like only a few weeks ago that Stevo and I were sitting out on our front porch watching some really bizarre lights come flying over the mountains just past midnight. We've spent the last few nights up late, neither of us really feeling sleepy or wanting to go to bed. When that happens, we figure we're downloading information from the etheric realm. I've posted about this happening before, and we haven't really figured out what's going on. Last night it happened again and I dowsed that we were downloading information about how to protect ourselves.
The night before, Stevo had experienced a particularly nasty assassin dream so the timing was right for us to get some etheric help. When stuff like this happens we tend to roll with the punches, so we stayed up until we couldn't keep our eyes open anymore. It's pretty interesting to be wide awake at 2 a.m., feeling like you'll never to go sleep, then 20 minutes later you're nodding off over your book or computer. I just have to trust that our etheric helpers know what they are doing and try to integrate the energy as best I can.
It's not always easy to have one foot in the 3D realm, and one foot in the etheric realm. You basically have to pay attention to everything. You can't decide "oh today I'm gonna take a day off". No. That doesn't work anymore. After many years, I realized that this kind of discipline is better than being asleep. Sure, I have to ground every day, check my energy every day, check the energy in my living space every day, etc. But what's the alternative? A life of being a sheeple.
Each new year brings a new opportunity to make a change in the world. We were watching the movie "I Am" again last night and I got re-inspired in a big way. It's not a theosophy movie, despite the title. It offers hope and optimism. We have the power, in each of us, to change the world. You just have to keep trying, and never give up. I spoke to my Grandma two days before she died and we were talking about how frustrating it can be to try and help others. You know what she told me?

Reading Approval Ratings
Jaap Stam Approval Rating - January 2017
Are you happy with the job Jaap Stam is doing as Reading manager? Vote now.
By jonnafon Jan 10, 2017, 6:00am GMT
Share All sharing options for: Jaap Stam Approval Rating - January 2017
Dreaming yet? Heading into the second half of the season, Reading are firmly entrenched in the playoff race, and only six points behind second-placed Newcastle... with a game in hand. Despite two poor league defeats at Fulham and Leeds United, the Royals have bounced straight back with victories — real credit must go to Stam for refocusing his side and ensuring heads didn't drop too much on the back of those losses. I was lucky enough to attend the press conference before the FA Cup tie with Manchester United, and Chris Gunter was waxing lyrical about the Dutchman's influence on the side. Stam seems to be a manager that the players, and the fans, fully believe in.
What's better than a last minute winner, to send Reading fans into delirium? A number of victories this campaign have come with time running out, and two more were added in December and January with those thrilling 3-2 wins over Bristol City and Blackburn Rovers. Many Reading sides in recent memory have been accused of not fighting to the final whistle, but that's certainly not an allegation you can throw at this side. The belief never seems to wane, and the attacking impetus, whilst slow at times, is always there — wearing down the opposition, waiting for the mistake, and pouncing. Stam's style has won over the fans with some exceptional results — now it's time to cement this brilliant start and push on in 2017.
I mentioned last month about the fact that our Player of the Month awards had been won by a different member of the squad each time so far this season. December's gong went to yet another new face, Liam Kelly. Not only is this testament to the fact that a multitude of players are at the top of their game this season, but also Stam's patience and willingness to give Kelly his chance. Hauled off against Rotherham early doors, the youngster is now thriving in a Reading shirt and putting forward a case to start every week, despite the return of John Swift and competition from the likes of George Evans and Danny Williams. Stam has shown he's able to get the absolute maximum from his players, with the likes of Garath McCleary and Paul McShane arguably showing their best ever form in a Reading shirt this season.
The Royals can't afford too many more losses to promotion rivals. As mentioned above, Reading have been soundly beaten by Leeds and Fulham recently, failing to score away from home whilst shipping seven goals in the process. Away from the Madejski, the defensive woes have really started to mount up — it's 11 goals conceded in our last four Championship away games. You can't rely on scoring three goals each time to get you out of jail, so if we are to continue this push to the promised land, Stam will know he has to improve the defensive record on the road.
In fact it's the lack of a fully effective plan B which might have led to some of those problems in the first place. The Royals found tremendous success when moving to three at the back, with Chris Gunter and Jordan Obita as wing-backs. But injuries and suspensions have tested the Reading back-line, with McShane, Liam Moore and Obita all missing time over the last couple of months. That's led to situations where Tyler Blackett has been exposed at left-back, whilst Joey van den Berg's frailties have been on display both in the middle of the park and at centre-back. The expected arrival of Tiago Ilori should add cover and a new dimension to the defensive corps, but Stam will have to ensure that Reading can continue to get results and clean sheets even when one member of the "first choice" back line is missing.
And finally a quick word on the FA Cup tie with Manchester United. Whilst even the most positive of Reading fans would have been hard-pressed to see a victory coming at Old Trafford, it was disappointing to see just how overawed and overmatched the Royals were, even against a still-strong second XI from Jose Mourinho. Of course, the Red Devils are on a completely different level to Reading but the lack of real chances showed just how far this side must come if they're to credibly challenge in the Premier League next year. But the Championship comes first, and Stam's side are showing that they're more than a match for this league.
So how do you feel about Stam's time at Reading so far? Let us know below - 5 is highest, 1 is lowest.

How Harley Quinn, The Riddler, and more inspire Alexa Bliss in her WWE persona

Tag: Harley Quinn

WWE Superstar Alexa Bliss has a difficult challenge tonight at the No Mercy PPV event. The defending Raw Women's champion has to fight off Sasha Banks, Bayley, Emma, and the powerhouse Nia Jax to retain her title. But the biggest question is, what comic book character will her ring gear be based on?
When Alexa Bliss came out to the ring at WWE Backlash in September 2016, she had on a new two-toned outfit, with alternating pink and blue highlights, hair in pigtails, and her blonde tresses dipped in pink. It was clear to comic book fans, or those who'd seen Suicide Squad since its release, that she was channeling Harley Quinn. Bliss wasn't shy about it, either, posting this closeup on Instagram and very specifically calling it an "homage to #harleyquinn."

While she didn't win the title that night, it was a turning point for Alexa Bliss as a performer. Suddenly the WWE was doing a full photo shoot of her in the Harley-inspired gear. She also went full heel – the pro-wrestling term for a bad guy – embracing a chaotic, entitled character who felt very much like what Harley might be in the ring. She'd go on to win the Smackdown Women's championship, get transferred to Raw, and win that title, too – she even currently holds it (though tonight may be writing a different story). Little Miss Bliss was born.
But "The Goddess of WWE" has been the queen of cosplay in the ring since before and after the Harley look (she's largely kept the dyed tips of hair since). When performing at NXT, the WWE's development brand, she was teamed with the men's tag team Blake and Murphy, and all three wore Iron Man-inspired gear. It was Murphy's idea (he's now Alexa's real-life fiancé after being her in-ring teammate), and it opened the floodgates. They also did a Freddy Krueger ring gear look for a little creepy intimidation.
"I'm such a villain fan. I love comics, I love anything Disney – everyone knows that about me, I'm a big Disney fan – anything that's fictional, I'm a huge fan of," Bliss told Yahoo Sports of her cosplay-inspired ring gear. "I just like portraying characters but making it my own. The Harley Quinn thing I was really excited about."
Since her Harley look took the world by storm, Alexa has gone with other villains – and heroes – to inspire new looks. At the Elimination Chamber event, she came out in Supergirl-inspired gear, with red and blue boots and her own emblem on the chest. At Wrestlemania and that week's following Smackdown Live, the green and purple outfit had question marks and a vest that said "Riddle Me Bliss" – yes, she rocked Riddler gear.
Bliss is not the only WWE Superstar to be inspired by comic books, of course. Roman Reigns, who goes up against John Cena at No Mercy, has a signature move called the "Superman Punch" that has even made its way onto T-shirts and ring gear. Speaking of Superman, Braun Strowman has a tattoo of the famous S symbol on his right upper arm. Cruiserweight champion Neville's high-flying finishing move is called the Red Arrow, and the superstar even teamed up with Arrow star Stephen Amell for a match. Nikki Bella has dressed in Wonder Woman-inspired gear, and she and her twin sister Brie rocked Batman and Robin for a Halloween match. And of course, going back to some hall of famers, Sting performed with a gimmick based on The Crow for decades, and Hulk Hogan took his character name from the rage-filled hero.
There's no word yet on whether Alexa Bliss will show up in a new hero-inspired costume for tonight's event, but the intersection of comic books and WWE is clearly stronger than ever.
WWE No Mercy airs Sunday, Sept. 24, at 8 p.m. ET on the WWE Network.

The Underrated Dystopian Thriller You Can Catch On Netflix Right Now
NEWS EXCLUSIVES MOVIES TV GAMING COMICS REVIEWS FEATURES
By Robert Balkovich/Jan. 27, 2021 11:50 am EST
Haven't gotten your fill of dystopia as of late? Searching for comfort in fictional nightmare scenarios as a break from watching real-life terrors on the news? Whatever strikes your fancy, if you're hungry for a high-concept sci-fi thriller and have already blown through Alice in Borderland and Outside the Wire, Netflix has in its library an underrated title you may not have even heard of.
What Happened to Monday is set in a near future where authoritarian government officials use the specter of overpopulation to strip families of their children. A man named Terrence Settman (Willem Dafoe) rescues his daughter's identical septuplet infants and trains them to survive in a world where detection will result in their termination. Each child must assume the same identity when they leave the house, which they are all permitted to do on the day of the week they are named after. As you may have guessed from the title, everything is going well until Monday (Noomi Rapace) fails to return.
Don't worry if you're drawing a total blank here. What Happened to Monday didn't exactly make a big splash when it first dropped on Netflix in 2017, despite the fact that director Tommy Wirkola has previously garnered interest with movies like the Nazi zombie thriller Dead Snow and the gloriously over-the-top Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters. Here's why you may have missed What Happened to Monday, and why it's still worth checking out.
Noomi Rapace gave her all to What Happened to Monday
When What Happened to Monday was released, reviews were pretty mixed. In general, critics appreciated the ambition of the project, but felt that it didn't quite reach its full potential.
Brian Tallerico of RogerEbert.com criticized the script as feeling "like it never got past the concept stage," and concluded that the movie is "just not as fun as you'd think it would be given the ridiculousness of its concept [and] the talent of its star." Writing for Slant, Keith Watson praised Rapace's effort, but wrote that the film can get confusing at times. "These seven characters are never delineated clearly enough, often making it difficult to follow who's who from scene to scene. Their individual personalities remain frustratingly vague, suggested more by costumes and hairstyling than by anything in the muddled screenplay," he wrote.
Several more reviewers noted Rapace's performances as the seven sisters as a highlight of the film. Rapace herself told The Hollywood Reporter that shooting the movie was "definitely the hardest thing" she'd ever done in her career. She even revealed that it was incredibly difficult to feel like herself again after the grueling shoot: "My short-term memory was gone. It was almost like I used all I had, so when I came back home, I had nothing left. It took like three weeks to recover and slowly come back to life. I didn't see anyone, I didn't speak to anyone."
Even if you end up agreeing with the criticisms of What Happened to Monday, if you're looking for a dystopian thriller you've never seen, it's probably worth checking out for Rapace alone. Also, it's streaming on Netflix, so what do you have to lose?

Q: How to delete a range of rows from a cell array using cellfun, matlab I have a 1x3 cell with
timepositionrawdata = {time, lat, lon};
% Extract every fourth instance of the raw data
time = timepositionrawdata{1,1}(1:4:end);
lat = timepositionrawdata{1,2}(1:4:end);
lon = timepositionrawdata{1,3}(1:4:end);
timepositionrawdata = {time, lat, lon};

% Delete and add appropriate rows to match image sequence times
timepositionrawdata{1}(278,:) = [];
timepositionrawdata{2}(278,:) = [];
timepositionrawdata{3}(278,:) = [];

timepositionrawdata = timepositionrawdata{1}([1:281, 281:end],:);
timepositionrawdata = timepositionrawdata{2}([1:281, 281:end],:);
timepositionrawdata = timepositionrawdata{3}([1:281, 281:end],:);

I would like to be able to delete particular rows in the whole cell.  How do you use cellfun to do this?

A: You first need to write a function that processes one cell correctly, then use cellfun to apply it to the cell array.
function time = process_one_cell(time)
time = time(1:4:end);
time(278, :) = [];
time = time([1:281, 281:end], :); % I'm not sure why you're doing this, looks kind of pointless.
end

And then call the function as follows
timepositionrawdata = cellfun(@process_one_cell, timepositionrawdata, 'UniformOutput', 0);
% or if you prefer to be more verbose
timepositionrawdata = cellfun(@(x) process_one_cell(x), timepositionrawdata, 'UniformOutput', 0);

Built for robustness from the ground up.
Phase One Systems have been used for decades in some of the most demanding professional applications. With the XF Camera System we have upgraded all moving parts and materials, delivering the fastest, most robust and most reliable camera system we have ever made.
Using full-frame Medium Format sensors 2.5 times larger than the ones found in high-end DSLRs, XF delivers a powerful combination of the highest possible resolution together with large, high dynamic range pixels with exceptional wide angular response.
Most cameras made today are released with fanfare and quickly forgotten by their maker, dropping into obsolescence. Phase One has a different philosophy focused on long term platform development. Rather than release a new body every year, Phase One invested in creating a camera platform, the Phase One XF, that included all the hardware, sensors, and computing power would be needed, not just at launch, but for all the features on their multi-year roadmap.
Feature Update 1 brought the seismographic vibration delay mode, bullseye level, and hyperfocal focusing. Feature Update 2 was focused on sequence photography such as automated focus stacking, timelapse, and HDR. Feature Update 3 brought Profoto Air TTL, manual control of Profoto lights from the camera, electronic shutter, flash analysis, and control of the darkframe behavior.
And now, Phase One is introducing the Honeybee XF Upgrade: the first ever medium format camera body hardware component upgrade that doesn't require committing to an entirely new camera body. The new HAP-2 autofocus sensor that comes with the Honeybee XF Upgrade offers two major advances: first, the HAP-2's low light performance sensitivity has been increased by 2.5 stops; and second, the dynamic range of the sensor has been improved by 1 stop in low contrast scenes.
With the XF we introduced a new patent pending, and fully Phase One developed, autofocus system; The Honeybee Autofocus Platform (HAP-1). Using a unique floating-point architecture and a fully programmable interface, HAP-1 was the most precise Phase One system ever built and extremely easy to expand.
Now, we bring you the Honeybee Autofocus Platform 2.0 hardware upgrade. A true game changer! Move from the HAP-1 to HAP-2 autofocus sensor without terminating your existing XF chassis, and in the process, discover improved low light performance, improved Dynamic Range and a whole lot more!
Phase One Systems have been used for decades in some of the most demanding professional and aerial applications. With the XF Camera System we have upgraded all moving parts and materials, delivering the fastest, most robust and most reliable camera system we have ever made.
A benefit of modularity is photographer's ability to easily upgrade a single component at a time. With a modular design there is no need to discard a perfectly good system only to gain features related to the camera body. The XF Camera System is compatible with all generations of IQ Digital Backs.
We already prepared the IQ2 range of Digital Backs for the XF Camera System, so they get almost full access to the same features as the IQ3 range, simply by applying a firmware upgrade. The IQ1 range of Digital Backs gains access to the same level of functionality as they have on current systems, but with the many added benefits of the XF Camera Body, such as improved speed, reliability, sensors and autofocus.
All Phase One XF camera body owners are eligible for the Honeybee Autofocus Platform HAP-2 upgrade. To reserve your upgrade, sign up here.

Bad night all round for the DUP, either losing seats or seeing majorities in even safe seats getting significantly slashed - only Flegory Campbell in East L/Derry gained a marginal increase in his majority.
Sinn Fein manage to hold on to South Down, Mid Ulster & West Belfast. DUP retain South Antrim, East Belfast and East Antrim.
Claire Hanna (SDLP) absolutely romps home in South Belfast, dethroning the DUP's Emma Little-Pengelly whom won in 2017 by around 1500 votes, but this time finished second by more than 15,400 behind!
Fermanagh & South Tyrone has gone to a recount - word is that Michelle Gildernew (SF) was holding on by just 20 to 30 votes. Back in 2010, Gildernew won the same seat by just four votes.

Jaysus, Sinn Fein have been destroyed in Derry City! Colum Eastwood, the SDLP leader, has retaken the Foyle seat for the party with a majority of over 17,000!
Other than gaining the scalp of North Belfast and dethroning Nigel Dodds, Sinn Fein haven't had exactly had a great night either - notable swings to the SDLP and Alliance across the board in Northern Ireland.
Edit: Just seen it mentioned that Eastwood's margin of victory is bigger than anything John Hume achieved in a Westminster election for the same constituency. Two and a half years ago, after losing their three Westminster seats it looked like the SDLP were going from slow terminal decline to being put on a death watch, and while Hanna's thumping win can in some ways be attributed to SF & NI Greens giving her a clear run (SF in exchange for a North Belfast quid pro quo), Eastwood had no such pacts in place with anyone. This is the first time in a long time I can recall a significant win for the SDLP over Sinn Fein where they didn't just halt their decline, but just booted the Shinners out of the gate.

Somebody who turns up to Parliament has to have their attractions.
A significant night in Belfast, for the first time non-unionist parties hold a majority of seats in the city, holding only East Belfast and even there, the DUP majority over Alliance has gone down from just under 8500 in 2017, to just over 1800.
The DUP weren't bit part players in Brexit now there've been screwed by their own zealotry and stupidity. Plenty of Brexiters will follow the DUP and ask what the fuck was that all for?

DUP politicians certainly have street smarts but they are not great intellectual thinkers of our age.
Paisley paid a prominent role for leave in the 1975 referendum. It was an existential issue tied up with his anti-papist bigotry. I seem to recall the Pope attended the original signing of the Treaty of Rome where leaders kissed his hand. You get the picture.

Committee: this issue has taken huge dimensions, as
Committee: United National Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO)
Topic: Safeguarding Endangered Languages and Dialects
Delegate Name: Pappa Vasiliki
In the last several decades safeguarding language and dialects has
become a major concern to which UNESCO has turned its attention. Nowadays, this
issue has taken huge dimensions, as innumerable languages are on the verge of
extinction. It is estimated that in a century from now the number of the
remaining languages will drop dramatically from 6.000 to a few hundreds. UNESCO's
role is to minimize this threat, protecting, promoting and maintaining all
languages and dialects in order to preserve multilingualism.
The endangered indigenous languages of
Canada are those of Canada's Aboriginal peoples (First Nations, Inuit and Métis).
Their languages mirror a variety of unique cultures, histories and identities.
For all these three groups language is the foundation of their culture.
Aboriginal peoples' languages are on the brink of extinction. It is estimated
that only one third of the Aboriginal languages have the prospect of survival.
It is specified that at least five languages have already been extinct, while
others barely survive into the present. Throughout
the years various Declarations and treaties have been signed in order to safeguard
endangered languages. The Universal Declaration of Linguistic Rights is one of
the most significant one. Canada is the first Western country to declare and put
into action an executive policy of multiculturalism in 1971. A decade later in
1998, The Canadian Government created the Aboriginal Languages Initiative (ALI)
to fund a variety of community-based language projects such as language
learning resources, documentation, communications and media, recording
interviews with elders and developing dictionaries for over twenty-five
endangered languages. Moreover, Canada adopted the Declaration of Vienna of the
World Conference on Human Rights. In the year 2010, Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau announced that Canada will implement the UN Declaration on
the Rights of Indigenous peoples stating that "No relationship is more important to me and to Canada than the one with
Indigenous Peoples.". In 2017, the government provided $90
million in funding to "protect, preserve and revitalize" those
languages for three years. Meanwhile, numerous Aboriginal language
organizations are developing teaching resources such as the Canadian Indigenous
Languages and Literacy Development Institute (CILLDI). In Canada numerous organizations
provide online language resources to First Nations, while the media expands the
awareness across Canada. Specifically, The Aboriginal Peoples Television
Network (APTN) broadcasts nationally with programming by Aboriginal peoples.
Taking all these into consideration, Canada firmly believes that despite
what has already been done new measures need to be taken to evade the attrition
of a language. It is a widespread belief that the
endangerment of a language may finally lead to its extinction. Taking into
consideration that,this disappearance seems to have tremendous effects on
national, as well as on international level. Canada believes that the
extinction of a language unavoidably leads to the disappearance of diverse
forms of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
Canada noting with deep concern that the
rapid technological evolution in the modern society conduces to the extinction
of several languages and dialects, emphasizes that in order to minimize this
threat international community ought to guarantee the linguistic diversity in
cyberspace. This can be achieved by creating television networks, where
languages in danger can be broadcasted and thus promoted. Moreover, raising
awareness via social media, providing internet access to the speakers of
endangered languages and creating linguistic documentation in digital form will
also assist on maintaining these languages the delegation of Canada strongly supports that we
ought to create broadcast media, television channels and numerous internet
websites where these languages can be promoted so that their speakers are able
to have access to the world of technology without the need to fend off their
language and shift to a more prestige one.
Canada advocates that in order to guard, maintain and promote all the
endangered language, it is required to form a basic pedagogical and linguistic
training. It is needed to provide trained language teachers who will
acknowledge the basics in linguistics and teaching methods. Last but not least,

Q: POST to page with headers using Perl I have a problem. I asked this question yesterday but not the way I really wanted it to be done, so my apologies. What I want to do is post to a page email and password but that page also requires specific headers to be sent. (I believe they are called request headers). I tried LWP::UserAgent but I could only post data, not the headers with it. How would I do this? I am new to Perl. Thanks for your help.

A: You previously mentioned the user Agent and cookies. While you could add those to the request, that's usually something you want over multiple requests and thus can be set in the UA itself.
use HTTP::Cookies         qw( );
use HTTP::Request::Common qw( POST );
use LWP::UserAgent        qw( );

my $cookies = HTTP::Cookies->new();
$cookies->set_cookie(...);

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(
   agent      => ...,
   cookie_jar => $cookies,
);

my $request = POST(
   'http://www.example.com/',
   Referer => '...',
   Content => [
      username => ...,
      ...
   ],
);

my $response = $ua->request($request);

A: use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::UserAgent qw( );

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
$ua->default_header('Cookie' => '...');
$ua->default_header('Referer' => '...');

my $response = $ua->post('url_goes_here', {username=>'test', password=>'pass'});

if($response->is_success)
{
 print $response->as_string;
}

this worked for me. Hopefully someone can learn a thing or two from this answer. The trick is to use default_header

Interesting message from the Atlanta Area Council today.....
Parents, Volunteers and Donors:
The purpose of this communication is to help you understand the position of the Atlanta Area Council, BSA and how it relates to National BSA's story in the recent Wall Street Journal article.
Below are some fast facts we would like to share with you:
We operate as a financially separate not-for-profit organization and our Council receives no funding from the National organization.
The Atlanta Area Council is a 501(c)(3) entity incorporated in Georgia. Our Camps, Volunteer Service Center and finances are owned and controlled by the Atlanta Area Council.
Local Scouting programs, camps and the Volunteer Service Center will not be directly affected by National BSA's consideration of their options.
All funds contributed to the Atlanta Area Council stay in Metro-Atlanta this includes Friends of Scouting donations, popcorn and camp card sales.
Our Council is strong, in fact the Atlanta Area Council is among the strongest in the nation from perspectives of fiscal health, quality programs, volunteer dedication, safety and staff quality.
It is our hope that the National organization can navigate the difficult waters that many organizations face over a century of existence; we will help the National organization as called upon. In Atlanta our primary focus is on bringing high-quality programs for over 31,000 Scouts in each neighborhood we serve.
Thank you for continuing your role and providing leadership and support to the youth in Metro-Atlanta.
Yours in Scouting,
Tracy Techau
Scout Executive/CEO
Atlanta Area Council, BSA
Here is the response from Circle 10 Council. I know its been a few days since this was posted, but I didnt know about "123 Not It" before I volunteered to organize our Christmas Lock-In so I have been busy the past several days.
Yesterday afternoon, the Wall Street Journal published an article stating that National BSA has hired a bankruptcy attorney in light of the costs of defending sexual abuse lawsuits. I wanted to share with you some information to help you with any questions you have so you can continue to do what you do for Circle Ten Council and the nearly 59,000 youth we serve.
In a communication released yesterday, National BSA reaffirmed its focus on keeping children safe and delivering our nation's foremost program of character development and values-based leadership training.
BSA stated its commitment to the social and moral responsibility to fairly compensate victims who suffered abuse during their time in Scouting, and the deep care and concern for all victims of child sex abuse and the proactive steps to help victims heal and prevent future abuse. BSA stresses that at no time in BSA history has the organization knowingly allowed a sexual predator to work with youth, and will always seek to act swiftly when alerted to abuse allegations.
BSA is committed to communicate transparently and stated there are no imminent actions or immediate decisions expected by BSA in light of the WSJ news story. They are in an exploratory phase of a possible financial restructure.
We have assembled a few items of information from a Dallas perspective that may be helpful considering the news story.
The strength of Scouting for over 100 years has been its local domain. Each troop is owned by its charter partner which is typically a place of worship, service club or educational institution. Each council is locally incorporated in the specific state where it operates.
The Circle Ten Council is a 501(c)(3) entity incorporated in Texas. Our camps, our Scouting Centers, our bank funds and investments are owned and controlled by the Circle Ten Council.
The Circle Ten Council does have an investment in the BSAAM Endowment Fund managed by the National Council. All Circle Ten Council dollars invested in that fund belong to Circle Ten Council and are not a part of the National Council.
The nature of the relationship for a council with the national BSA organization is that our council is the holder of a charter to conduct the Boy Scouts of America programs in our defined territory.
Councils receive no funding from the national organization; in fact, we pay fees to National BSA as a part of our charter agreement and for specific services. We receive value back from the national organization, but we operate as a significantly financially independent not-for-profit organization.
All local donations to the Circle Ten Council stay local to support the nearly 59,000 youth served in our 24 counties and do not go to the National office.
Areas where we partner with National BSA, for business purposes, include several insurance programs, services for IT and expertise related to camping, Youth Protection and so on. Also important to note is employee benefits such as healthcare and retirement are funded by each council but through programs controlled and operated by National BSA.
The Circle Ten Council is one of the strongest councils in the BSA from perspectives of fiscal health, program quality, board and volunteer dedication and staff commitment and talent.
It is our hope that the national organization can navigate the difficult waters that many organizations face over a century of existence. Locally, we will stand ready to help - and we will continue our primary focus on bringing high-quality Boy Scouts of America programs for nearly 59,000 Scouts in each neighborhood we serve
IMHO, these Council letters raise more questions about how much and where local money goes.

Agreed. The Circle 10 letter, in successive bullets, says they pay fees to National, then all money stays local. It can't be both. My council issued substantially the same statement. Nobody cares about the legal structure, BSA is BSA. Going to be an interesting FOS season.

Here is a council charter renewal form. filestore.scouting.org/filestore/mission/pdf/523-027_WEB.pdf
In short a council pays an annual National Service Fee of 3.5% of the total of the salaries of the professional and office staff, though some councils could pay closer to 4%.
There is also a national charter fee of $1,000. This fee is waived if the form is submitted on time.

Wow...amazing how fast the councils are trying to separate themselves from National. All the notices are almost identical as if "someone" had prepared a boilerplate for each council. We hope National can get out of their mess but it's not our problem.

I'm sure they are thinking FOS impact... and I don't blame them. People will not want to give to FOS if they think the money will simply to to Nationals and be part of a bankruptcy fund. I was already asked by multiple parents if they should stop buying popcorn or contribute to FOS until after the bankruptcy.... Councils need to get their message out quickly or they will see major losses in donations.

The message in our council was basically identical to Circle 10, so yes, it is a boilerplate.

Here is a letter that has come from Mid American Council. It looks like they were given a form letter and updated to each region. Just sharing.
I am sharing yesterday's Wall Street Journal article stating that National BSA has hired a bankruptcy attorney in light of the costs of defending sexual abuse lawsuits.
From a conference call with national leadership today, BSA is committed to communicate transparently. Its been stated there is no direct action being taken in the near future or immediate decisions expected by BSA in light of the Wall Street Journal's news story. The organization is truly in an exploratory phase and doing due diligence in an effort to be prepared and make informed decisions as it relates to the next 100 years of the BSA.
I have assembled a few items of information from a Mid-America Council perspective that may be helpful considering the news story:
The strength of Scouting for over the last 100+ years has been its local domain. Each scouting unit is owned by its local charter partner which typically is a place of worship, service club or educational institution. Each council is locally incorporated in the specific state where it operates.
The Mid-America Council is a 501(c)(3) entity incorporated in Nebraska, Southwest Iowa and Union County South Dakota. Our camps, volunteer service centers, bank funds and investments are owned and controlled by the Mid-America Council Executive Board of Leadership and Trustees.
The nature of the relationship for a council with the national BSA organization is that our council is the holder of a charter to conduct the BSA programs in our defined territory, throughout our 58 counties.
Our council receives no funding from the national organization. In fact, we pay fees to National BSA as a part of our charter agreement and for specific services. We receive value back from the national organization, but we operate as a financially independent not-for-profit organization.
In the BSA, the Mid-America Council is a strong council from the perspectives of fiscal health, program quality, board and volunteer dedication, staff commitment and talent.
I am positive that our national council can navigate the difficult waters that many organizations face over a century of existence. As a council, we will stand ready to help. We will continue our primary focus on bringing high-quality BSA programs for over 18,000 youth in each of the communities we serve.
In closing, we must as a local council inspire confidence and show the utmost leadership within all of our ranks. We will maintain the quality scouting program that we have become accustomed to. We have embarked on many new things locally and nationally, foremost the introduction of girls into our programs. Our success this year with the introduction of girls into Cub Scouts and the ensuing addition of girls into our "Scouts BSA," reinforces the quality of programs that we deliver and the interest to participate by the families we serve. Locally we have inspired 500 new families through the addition of girls and nationally that number is 70,000+. We must continue this momentum and stay steadfast to our strategic direction.
Lastly, it is now more important than ever with the recent success of our 2nd Annual Governor's Luncheon for Scouting that we maintain community and donor confidence. The dollars that have been pledged and paid are more important now than ever, but most importantly these dollars have been given for local programs and they will always stay local. No local donor dollars go to fund any litigation on a national prospective. We will continue to stay true to our core mission and that is that we stay focused on youth by building character, developing strong leadership skills and guaranteeing that the BSA will be here for the next 100 years and beyond.
As always, I welcome your call or email with any thoughts or questions.

Mid-America Council
Just a thought to the top tier camping locations (Philmont, Summit, Sea Base and Northern Teir), Why not open these locations to the public? This could ease monetary considerations with the scouts. Plus it would expand our presence with those not in scouting. It can be good marketing and service. I look at what Spirit of Adventure Council (Boston MA area) has done with Camp Sayer. They have made it a place open to all organizations to visit and attend. I have been at woodbadge the same time a YMCA youth group was camping in a cabin. A great way to reach out to those not in scouts.

As for the Summit, it has booked outside events, e.g. the Spartan Race, since it has not been financially sustainable as promised. Before booking outside groups, the BSA had to lobby for a referendum to West Virgina constitution to exclusively not tax the BSA (a non-profit) for renting to commercial groups. Also, the BSA dropped the alcohol prohibition on BSA property.

The boilerplate is clearly damage control, but I disagree about separating from National. All the boilerplate releases say the local council is financially strong and "stands ready to help" National.
Compare that to our councils statement.
As has been widely reported, the National Council, BSA is considering options regarding financial reorganization if future circumstances should require it.
No such decisions have been made, and no actions have been taken. These considerations are merely due diligence and part of good governance.
The National Council, BSA is a separate and distinct corporation from any local BSA Council. Northern Star Scouting is incorporated in Minnesota and our assets are not affected should the National Council restructure and reorganize its own assets. Our funds and properties are under our board's ownership and governance.
Children count on us for fun and adventure, for character-building life skills, for a safe haven, and for their preparation as our future community leaders. We're keeping our focus on them. Northern Star Scouting is strong and vital, and we will find the services and resources we need, locally as well as in concert with other Scout Councils, to serve our families for decades to come.
Clearly off the same boilerplate document. But the last sentence I bolded is less open ended in its support for National.

The Hartford Accident and Indemnity Co. and First State Insurance Co. in Texas have both turned their back on the BSA, arguing that the "ineligible volunteer files" show the organization hasn't done enough to protect children against sexual abuse and misconduct, and hasn't done enough to warn parents of the risks.
Both insurers are arguing in court that they shouldn't have to pay claims related to abuse that the BSA could have reasonably prevented. The BSA and several councils sued both insurers for $13.5 million in June. In a separate legal battle, insurers are refusing to cover sex-abuse settlements and legal defense fees for the BSA, arguing that the events were not accidents and could have been prevented.
