Hayden angler Thomas Heinen and teammate Brock Bila, of Louisburg, added some more hardware on Saturday to cement their legacy among the state's all-time most successful high school anglers as Topeka teams took a 1-2 finish in central Kansas.
"Tournament was very tough," Heinen said. "Caught the best one early and then the bite shut off. We had 30 mph wind gusts and 5-foot waves coming in on our spots. The last fish we had was in the last 45 minutes of the tournament, and that won us the tournament!"
Fellow Topekans Parker Still and Connor Brees took second place, hauling in four smallmouth bass for 10.25 pounds. Still said he'd never even been on Wilson before.
"It was tough but I had a blast," Still said. "They were munching the craw-colored crank baits. All our fish were caught on crank baits. The conditions were tough — super windy — didn't think we were gonna make it across the water, to be honest. Glad my boater Casey Brees and my partner stuck it out in the horrible conditions.
"Also glad first and second place were from Topeka! And congrats to Thomas Heinen and Brock Bila on bringing in a nice bag."
"We thought we would have got a jerkbait bite but discovered that finesse was the key," Heinen said.
This isn't the first time Heinen and Bila have won an FLW state title. They also won in 2016 on Milford Reservoir, when Heinen was a sophomore and Bila was a freshman.
"Winning this tournament means a lot," Heinen said. "I have been in this circuit for four years now and we were very fortunate," Heinen said. "This is my senior season, last FLW high school tournament for Kansas, and I couldn't have asked for a better ending. The 2016 FLW state championship at Milford we won was a great tournament, but this was definitely my favorite one considering the conditions we had to fight to secure another win."
"Winning this tournament meant a lot to me, but I know for Thomas it means a lot more," Bila said. "I'm still a junior, so I still have another year of fishing. Thomas is a senior and this will be his last year. He loves the sport of fishing, and I'm glad we were able to win this tournament."
Bila also made a splash on his own earlier this month, finishing 14th overall and first place in Kansas at the BASS Nation Central Regional on Toledo Bend. Bila was gracious when asked about the team's continued success throughout the years.
"It's been a blessing that we were put together since the start of our fishing careers," Bila said. "After my strong finish at the BASS Regional, I am a strong believer in if it's meant to be, it will be. He is one heck of a fisherman and has the grind like no other fisherman. He's putting everything aside to become the best fisherman he can.
"As for our success as a team, I can put that on our boat captain, Larry (Brumley). Having a contest boat captain that will be there for any tournament really helps us be such a solid team. That's the difference between us and other teams. No matter where we go, it's always Thomas, Larry, and I."


Final Fantasy Advent Children Complete...dubbed?
Hey! I own the original version of the movie but I've never seen the Complete version. Is it a lot better?
Also, is there a dubbed version of Complete? I don't mind subs at all but I do prefer dubs.


This volume contains four stories in which Horrid Henry terrorizes his classmates at a sleepover in the museum; plays with Perfect Peter and tricks him into handing over all his money; gets out of writing his own story by adapting one of Peter's; and meets the Nudie Foodie, a celebrity chef, who visits the school.
Happy Birthday, Danny and the Dinosaur!

I wouldn't call him a good role model; however, his misadventures call for many laugh out loud moments and, hopefully, will teach kids what not to do.--For more of my reviews, visit my blog Imaginary Reads.
Horrid Henry is so horrid, and that's why my boys love him. He makes us laugh...and it's funny when the 5-year old and the 10-year old both want to listen to the same book. Henry is up to his usual horrid tricks in this one, whether it be ruining the "healthy" school lunches, messing with his perfect brother or trying to escape from the class sleepover at the museum by convincing everyone the teachers are zombies. Or vampires. Or zombie vampires. We laughed at every story, and can't wait to read Horrid Henry is so horrid, and that's why my boys love him.

Horrid Henry books will always be on my read list, how ever old I get.

One of the most unique and entertaining parts of this book was how each character is named by their number one characteristic - Horrid Henry's little brother is Perfect Peter. And some of his classmates are Rude Ralph, Tidy Ted and Moody Margaret. In each of the four stories, Horrid Henry tries to break free from the boring world and doesn't hold back in trying to get everyone to see how FUN things could be if they would just listen to him. Although Horrid Henry may not be for everyone, he is the perfect character to introduce to your child as the boy who we all would love to be but shouldn't. A fun character to laugh out loud with and see that even though Horrid Henry may be right, the consequences prove that there are better ways to go about getting what we want. These are the perfect books to get beginner chapter readers going!
These books are so fun!
Great fun for kids. Each book in the series has 4 short stories that are laugh out loud funny. Good for reluctant readers.
Not my favorite. But I can definitely see the appeal. My brother and I would have liked this when we were kids. I do like all of the alliteration in the names. And Miss Battle-Axe.
2nd grade reader. Probably more boys than girls, and interesting plots for those closet rebels. Funny and may get reluctant readers interested. Henry is interested in blood and guts and everything else is just out of his realm. He is truly horrid aand contrasts most definitely with his little brother who is so sweet that it makes Henry's teeth hurt. (Mine, too.)

Over the top silly.Plots include new recipes for the school cafeteria, getting Henry's brother to do Henry's chores, and zombie vampires at the museum sleepover.The book was originally published in Great Britain and some of the wording may be unfamiliar to many readers, but it shouldn't be enough to stop them.
An entertaining read that will leave readers laughing out loud, Horrid Henry and the Zombie Vampires will definitely be a hit for fans of this series. With Francesca's easy to read text, some laugh out loud moments, and the book's smallish size make this a fast paced read even the most reluctant reader will enjoy. This book's 4 short stories will entertain just about anyone with a second grade reading level and higher.
Quite an interesting read. Available for most primary age children and some low ability secondary age children.Four different stories that are really inviting for the younger, (and possibly the) reluctant readers.
Story ends abruptly at the end.


A memorial dog walk in honour of a toddler who died of cancer will be held next month.
Sarah Dyer is holding the event in Bexhill on May 12 to remember two-year-old Thomas Lawson, from Battle.
The youngster died in February 2017.
Just three months earlier, Thomas was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, a form of blood cancer.
Sarah, who is a friend of Thomas' family members, said next month's fundraiser will start at the Bexhill Sea Angling Club from 10.30am at the bottom of Galley Hill.
The dog walk will finish at the Polegrove where a fun dog show will take place, as well as other activities, in aid of three charities, namely Children with Cancer Fund, Raystede Centre for Animal Welfare, based in Lewes, and Macmillan Cancer Support.
A similar event in Bexhill last June raised more than £1,000 for Children with Cancer Fund.
Sarah is also holding a series of separate fundraising events over the coming months.
On April 28 she will be walking from Southease to Eastbourne for Raystede Centre for Animal Welfare.
On June 8, she will be undertaking a 26-mile hike from Brighton racecouse to Eastbourne for Macmillan.
The following day, June 9, Sarah is participating in Race For Life in Alexandra Park for Cancer Research UK and for the same charity, is taking part in a 54-mile trek from Arundel to Winchester on June 22 and 23.
On August 31 and September 1, Sarah is taking part in the South Coast Challenge for Clic Sargent.

Sarkel (or Šarkel, literally white house in the Khazar language was a large limestone-and-brick fortress in what is now Rostov Oblast of Russia, on the left bank of the lower Don River.

It was built by the Khazars with Byzantine assistance in the 830s or 840s. It was named Sarkel, or 'white-house', because of the white limestone bricks used in its construction.

Location
Sarkel was located on a hill, on the left bank of the Don River. It is currently under water, after the construction of the Tsimlyansk Reservoir. The left bank of the river was much lower, compared to the right, so a lot of it was flooded.

Across the Don River from Sarkel, on the right bank, there was located another large Khazar fortress roughly contemporary with Sarkel. This site is known as , although its ancient name is unknown. It is still there, on the much higher right bank, although suffering from erosion because of encroaching water.

Construction
Sarkel was built to protect the north-western border of the Khazar state in 833. The Khazars asked their ally, Byzantine emperor Theophilus, for engineers to build a fortified capital, and Theophilus sent his chief engineer Petronas Kamateros. In recompense for these services, the Khazar khagan ceded Chersonesos and some other Crimean dependencies to Byzantium.

Historians have been unable to determine why such a strong fortress was built on the Don. They generally assert that the costly construction must have been due to the rise of a strong regional power that posed a threat to the Khazars. Alexander Vasiliev and George Vernadsky, among others, argue that Sarkel was built to defend a vital portage between the Don and the Volga from the Rus' Khaganate. Other historians believe this polity was situated many hundred miles to the north. Another nascent power, the Hungarians, was not particularly threatening to the Khazars as long as they paid tribute to the khagan.

Constantine Porphyrogenitus records in his work De Administrando Imperio that the Khazars asked the Emperor Theophilos to have the fortress of Sarkel built for them. His record is connected to the Hungarians on the basis that the new fortress must have become necessary because of the appearance of a new enemy of the Khazars, and other peoples could not be taken into account as the Khazars' enemies at that time. In the 10th century, a Persian explorer and geographer Ahmad ibn Rustah mentioned that the Khazars entrenched themselves against the attacks of the Hungarians.

History

The city served as a bustling commercial center, as it controlled the Volga-Don portage, which was used by the Rus to cross from the Black Sea to the Volga and thence to the Caspian and Baltic. The route was known as the "Khazarian Way". A garrison fortified at Sarkel included Oghuz and Pecheneg mercenaries.

Sarkel's fortress and city were captured by Kievan Rus' under prince Sviatoslav I in 965. The city was renamed Belaya Vezha (Slavic for White Tower or White Fortress) and settled by Slavs. It remained Slavic until the 12th century, when the district was taken over by the Kipchaks.

Mikhail Artamonov excavated the site in the 1930s. It was the most ambitious excavation of a Khazar site ever undertaken. Among many Khazar and Rus items, Artamonov discovered Byzantine columns used in the construction of Sarkel. The site is now submerged by the Tsimlyansk Reservoir, completed in 1952, so no further excavations may be conducted.

An adorable video shows the moment a boy with Down Syndrome gets off the school bus and gives his sister a very warm welcome.
The video is a compilation of Snapchats that David's sister Jessica Evans, 21, takes when the 15-year-old comes home from school in Snellville, Georgia.
Jessica posted the video to her Twitter account on August 14 with the caption 'for anyone who is having a bad day: here is a video of my little brother's reaction every time i come home and surprise him'.
The tweet has 441,000 favorites and 168,000 retweets. Many other users replied with supportive messages.
Even model Chrissy Teigen, who has nearly 7million of her own followers, replied to the video.
A few Twitter users shared photos of themselves with their little brothers who have Down Syndrome.
'I'm just happy so many people have accepted the video and him with such positivity,' Evans told Channel 2.
In the first video, David sees his sister and shrieks with excitement.
The second one is captioned with 'never gets old' and a heart-eyes emoji. David gets off the bus and runs to hug his sister.
In the fifth video, David repeatedly says: 'Honey' while goes to hug Jessica.


Words are wonderful little packets of meaning that differentiate the human race from other animals. We encapsulate all kinds of subtlety within just a few letters, then project and share these with one another. I came across a new one recently while reading Dan Brown's new book, Inferno. Without giving the plot away, there's reference to 'Transhumanism'. I'd heard of 'Posthumanism' and wondered about the difference.
Never mind the dictionary meanings or reality; just think about what the words suggest. Posthumanism implies what happens after humans, when we are all dead and gone. It perhaps suggests a robotic future or other such scary scientific scenario. Transhumanism is a softer word. It suggests transformation, change and an altogether more gradual process that, even if a bit worrying, is easier to accept.
Another example of a subtle tweak is when 'Global warming' became 'Climate change'. It's probably more accurate and comprehensive to talk about climate change as recent examples of record-breaking tsunamis, tornadoes and so on have indicated. It is also a neatly more friendly term that is easier to accept, while simultaneously being more vague. Global warming is very clear: it's going to get hotter. It's also rather scary, especially for those living closer to the equator where it's already hot enough. Climate change is easier to accept first because it it is non-specific (and so avoids simple oppositional argument) and also because it is less threatening. If I don't want to think about bad things in the future, I can frame it as a bit more rain or sun.
Businesses know this too and the jargon there constantly adapts to become more acceptable, even when people know what it really means. 'Downsizing' (meaning people are going to get sacked) is now called 'Rightsizing'. Weeding out the dead wood is called 'performance management'. And so on.
The bottom line: If you're going to give something a new name, remember that first impressions are important and consider how people who do not know what the word really means will interpret it.

Q: Assigning column name as cell value if column contains specific value I am pretty new to R. I have a data frame with pairs of admission and discharge variables that should match e.g.:
  V1adm V1dis V2adm V2dis V3adm V3dis
1   120   120   yes   yes    60    60
2   110   110   yes  <NA>    40    40
3    60    NA    no  <NA>    NA    NA
4    90    NA  <NA>    no    20    NA

I have created a data frame with TRUE if either one of the variable pairs is missing:
# Variable names
adm_vars<- c("V1adm", "V2adm", "V3adm")
dis_vars<- c("V1dis", "V2dis", "V3dis")

# Create empty dataframe
pairs_NA<- matrix(NA, ncol=3, nrow=nrow(data))
pairs_NA<- as.data.frame(pairs_NA)
names(pairs_NA)<- paste(adm_vars, dis_vars, sep = '_')

# Add TRUE if adm OR dis variable NA
for(i in 1:3){
  x<- data[, adm_vars[i]]
  y<- data[, dis_vars[i]]
  pairs_NA[,i]<- is.na(x) | is.na(y)
}

  V1adm_V1dis V2adm_V2dis V3adm_V3dis
1       FALSE       FALSE       FALSE
2       FALSE        TRUE       FALSE
3        TRUE        TRUE        TRUE
4        TRUE        TRUE        TRUE

For the rows where all 3 are missing, I would like to create a data frame that takes the column name from 'pairs_NA' as the cell value if that pair is missing (i.e. column is TRUE in pairs_NA). It should look something like this:
              1             2             3
3   V1adm_V1dis   V2adm_V2dis   V3adm_V3dis
4   V1adm_V1dis   V2adm_V2dis   V3adm_V3dis

Is there a way I can assign the column name of 'pairs_NA' as the cell value if there is a 'TRUE' in that column for each specific row?

A: We can create a logical index based on rowSums and replicate the column names of 'pairs_NA' after subsetting the rows where all the values are TRUE
i1 <- rowSums(pairs_NA) == ncol(pairs_NA)
matrix(names(pairs_NA)[col(pairs_NA[i1,])], ncol = ncol(pairs_NA))
#    [,1]          [,2]          [,3]
#[1,] "V1adm_V1dis" "V2adm_V2dis" "V3adm_V3dis"
#[2,] "V1adm_V1dis" "V2adm_V2dis" "V3adm_V3dis"

The Tarra Valley is a very pretty area, situated between Traralgon and Yarram in West Gippsland.
The unprecedented scale and extent of the recent bushfires of East Gippsland affected the lives and homes of the people and damaged the native forests and wildlife across an enormous area.
Now in the aftermath of the fires townships and local businesses, not in the area of the fires, were struggling as holidaymakers travelled away from the areas close to the still burning fires.
Even while the fires were still at their worst, local businesses in nearby areas were already feeling the effects due to lack of visitors during what should have been their busiest period.
Just when we were preparing for our annual short trip with the grandkids, I heard one of these struggling businesses, the Tarra Valley Caravan Park, reaching out for visitors on the radio. Sothis was where we headed.
The Tarra Valley
Tarra Valley in West Gippsland seemed like a good choice, as it's only two and a half hours from home. And it was several hours away from the fires still burning further east.
The access to the caravan park from Yarram, is via the Tarra Valley Road. This is a windy narrow strip of bitumen that follows the Tarra River as it enters Tarra-Bulga National Park.
Along the way, the road passes two caravan parks and our choice was the second one. This is just a small park, perched on the side of a hill, with cabins and powered and unpowered sites, all neatly laid out in a treed setting.
The river babbles close by and if you dangle a line you might catch a trout.
And on this occasion, there was plenty of room for the children to play due to the lack of visitors to the caravan park. There was a playground and room for cricket and frisbee throwing and exploring and paddling along the river bank. The park owners were serving Devonshire teas or coffees, which were popular with park visitors.
What to see and do nearby?
Tarra-Bulga National Park
The park, features giant mountain ash and myrtle beach, plus tree ferns that dominate in gullies and provide shade on the walking tracks beside creeks. Only a few kilometres from the caravan park along windy Tarra Valley Road brings the visitor to a parking and picnic area. From here an easy walk meanders through a rainforest gully on a well-defined circuit track passing Cyathea Falls.
Cyathea Falls
The waterfall is named after the dominant fern found here Cyathea australis, or rough tree fern, which is one of the tallest growing tree ferns in Australia.
Corrigan Suspension Bridge and lush fern valley
The Visitor Centre of the park is located near Balook, a tiny township found at the top of the range on the Grand Ridge Road. There are several walks through the forest from here, the most popular leads to Corrigan Suspension Bridge. The bridge, which stretches across the rainforest canopy, offers excellent views of the lush fern gully below.
Choose from a selection of walks to see the bridge and return by a different route. We took the Scenic Track, which went higher along the ridge through mountain ash and cool temperate rainforest.
Port Albert, Woodside Beach and Port Welshpool
Established in 1841 by explorer Angus Macmillan, Port Albert is one of Victoria's oldest seaports, and became the major supply port for pioneers and gold miners. This was until the railway connected Melbourne with Sale in 1878.
There are a number of historic buildings remaining in Port Albert, but our major interest in the town that day was the café selling 'the best fish and chips'. It received our tick of approval.
Woodside Beach, on the 90 mile beach – swimming fun
From Port Albert we headed for Woodside Beach at the beginning of the 90-mile beach, which stretches – well, 90 miles east from here to Lakes Entrance. This wide sandy beach is ideal for swimming and surfing the waves. Soon the two young boys and the old boy were in enjoying the water and under the watchful eye of the life guard.
Port Welshpool is well-known for its historical Long Jetty. The Jetty has been completely renovated and restored after a fire and decay from exposure to the elements had closed it for many years.
Information centre for Port Welshpool long jetty
It is now used for walking and recreational fishing, with the historic Broman Diving Bell, used by divers in the Bass Strait oil industry, and a shelter shed located near the end of the jetty. The shelter shed provided welcome shelter from the stiff, cold breeze that was blowing.
There are many more activities to entertain in this very diverse area. These include driving the Grand Ridge Road for spectacular views over Wilsons Promontory, enjoying a beer at a boutique brewery at Mirboo North or visiting Mini Ha Ha waterfall at Hiawatha or Agnes Falls near Toora.
Despite the rain that poured down while we were trying to pack up, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The Tarra Valley is a great place for a short getaway.

I went to Vevey, a lovely place near the lake with a friend from France who came to celebrate New Year's Eve in Switzerland. All the places near the lake are so peaceful! Sit on a rock, watching the sunset while you eat some chestnuts. What else?
About the outfit, it's all about black and white. I got this lovely blazer from the brand StyleSofia which makes some amazing pieces! I matched it with a black sequin top, some black pants and boots and my it bag I got in New York.
NOIR ET BLANC. Ces derniers jours, le temps en Suisse est devenue très étrange. Un jour, il pleut des cordes et le jour d'après vous vous retrouvez avec un soleil qui recouvre tout le pays. ( sans parler de la neige! ) Bref. Le jour ou j'ai pris ces photos, c'était le genre de journée ou le soleil sortait son nez mais il faisait un froid de canard. Alors si ma tête est un peu rouge, c'est normal, j'étais entrain de trembler comme une feuille morte.
Je me suis rendue à Vevey, un joli endroit près du lac avec une amie de France qui est venue passer le Nouvel An en Suisse. Tous les endroits près du lac sont tous les relaxants. S'assoir sur un rocher, regarder le coucher de soleil tout en mangeant des marrons chauds. Quoi d'autre?
Pour ce qui est de ma tenue, tout est une question de noir et blanc. J'ai reçu ce blazer blanc de la part de la marque StyleSofia qui crée vraiment des pièces incroyables! Je l'ai combiné avec un top noir, des pantalons et bottines noires et mon ''it bag'' que j'ai acheté à New York.
Ton top est vraiment sympa j'aime beaucoup !
gorgeous photos! great outfit. The weather here in Toronto has been somewhat similar too..these couple days it's been weirdly warm!
Love this look! You're such a cutie!
I really enjoy your style and in fact, it's my style too. lets follow each other for more fashion sharing? Looking forward to reading more of your posts. visit my blog and drop a comment on your favorite post!
Nice outfit! Love the bracelet.
You look so pretty and chic. I know what you mean about the weather - it's the same here in Ireland, it seems to have a mind of its own! You look fabulous though, I particularly love the 'love' bracelet!
This website truly has all the info I needed about this subject and didn't know who to ask.
(I also love the theme/design), I don't have time to go through it all at the moment but I have book-marked it and also added your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read a lot more, Please do keep up the superb job.
Can I install a different Wordpress theme into a Wordpress hosted blog?
Howdy! I could have sworn I've been to this blog before but after looking at some of the posts I realized it's new to me.
Thank you, I've just been searching for information about this subject for a while and yours is the greatest I've found out till now.

When I began teaching 15 years ago I always come back to this because engagement is key. My educational philosophy is based on a diet of Experience (The personal reaction we have to art works and the world around us and how we process this through our own art work, our visual literacy skills and our emotive reactions) and Relationships (All teaching and experience is based on positive relationships; a positive and engaging classroom learning environment, personal and constructive feedback to students, the relationships with peers and the relationship with our art work).
Earlier in life I completed a degree at Portsmouth University studying Historical Studies. I specialised in Modernism and a healthy supply of Art History electives.
After my degree I was employed in the Media where I worked for GWR, MTV, was headhunted for the BBC and then onto YTV. Retraining as an Artist I completed a HE Certificate in Interdisciplinary Art at Leeds College of Art and Design. This led to Leeds University to complete my PGCE. Later on I also gained a CAEP on the Artist Teacher Scheme through Oxford Brookes.
Up until know I have worked in Swindon working as an Art Teacher, Head of Department and Head of Faculty. I have built up 15 years teaching experience and also keep up my personal practice as an Artist.
Within this time I have led whole-school training on raising the attainment of boys and completed research projects on PPG students and their access to resources. Primary Transition has seen me plan, co-ordinate projects with various year groups building confidence in Art. In the last few years I developed a sequence of lessons for KS3 students based on Art and Literacy as an intervention and looking to raise Literacy rates though Art. The running of a Department and Faculty has given me an excellent track record in results and working with staff structures and re-structure. The introduction of new courses is something I have numerous experience of. I am able to support schools in introducing new subjects into their curriculum. My experience of teaching is across Fine Art, Art and Design, Textiles, Graphic Communication and Photography. I have been published in AD Magazine though NSEAD with my work gaining grants and getting students out to galleries.
I am experienced in cross curricular projects and familiar with the STEAM subjects; relating work to wider world and looking at how it impacts on our lives. Previously I have worked with organisations within the local community, including creating student led art work for Swindon Town Football Club, local Primary Schools and churches. Mural painting is an area that has seen me create a better space for a 100 hostel children in a school in India in Tamil Nadu. A space for art can improve our wellbeing and environment.
I have delivered mentoring and planning for PGCE, SCITT and GTP teachers and have experience of coaching teachers, as well as developing the skills of teachers that I have performance managed.
I have found that creating a Professional Practice Module at A-Level that pushes and extends students working in partnership with local galleries is a great way to develop independence in students. In addition, I have spent time working with children in outward bounds centres and have developed arts based learning working with the environment.
Recently I ran a teacher training course for teachers on how to start A-level Photography courses at their own schools. I also offer art workshops to the local community.


I recently took the Old Home Certification course that is put out by Preservation Alliance of Minnesota. It was a fantastic 2 day course and we covered so much material that I had to take a day off to let it all soak in. This course had topics that included such items as: Why old homes are GREEN, House Styles, Historic Interior Vocabulary, Geographic factors behind the development of the Twin Cities, Finding old home contractors, understanding historic districts, researching old homes, marketing old homes, and much more.
You can find more information on Preservation Alliance of Minnesota at their website.
If you are looking for an older, character home, please call me and I would be happy to help.

'Legitimate' film allegedly shows Roswell alien at Area 51
Posted by: Jason McClellan February 2, 2015	6 Comments
Film from the 1940s was recently discovered that shows American military personnel carrying a dead alien body. At least that's what New Zealand/Australian magazine UNCENSORED claims.
This film was recently uploaded to YouTube. The magazine originally posted the video to its website by editor Jonathan Eisen on January 22 with the title, "Roswell Original Footage of Dead Alien Rediscovered by UNCENSORED Editor." That post cites alternative news website All News Pipeline as the story's source. Sure enough, All News Pipeline posted a story about this video on January 13 with the title, "Is This The Real Roswell Alien Footage?"
According to this article, UNCENSORED's "technical people did a frame by frame analysis prior going to press with it and determined that it was legitimate in every respect."
The article continues describing that the video "not only shows the dead alien (probably from the Roswell crash) itself, but also the hanger [sic] and the alien body being carried into the hanger [sic] from the military ambulance that delivered it. It has enough clues to accurately date the footage from the late 1940s."

In addition to pointing out how the film is authentic according to UNCENSORED's editors, this article states, "The magazine has not disclosed how UNCENSORED discovered or was given the footage, but is adamant about its authenticity." Curiously, the byline on this article is UNCENSORED editor Jonathan Eisen.
The article claims that UNCENSORED is the first magazine to post images from this footage, and that "the complete footage itself was not released on the Internet by the magazine until now." The problem with this assertion, of course, is that this footage has been circulating around the Internet for years. For example, here is the same footage, uploaded to YouTube in 2011:
And this footage also appears in the 2006 comedy movie Alien Autopsy. See it in the clip from the movie below at the 1:07 mark:
Although this alleged Roswell footage is certainly not a new discovery, its authenticity has been debated for years.
The well-known 1995 television documentary Alien Autopsy: Fact or Fiction showed an allegedly authentic autopsy of an alien recovered from the 1947 Roswell UFO crash. London businessman Ray Santilli, the man behind this documentary, claims that he purchased the footage from a former US military cameraman. Although he has since admitted that what is shown in the TV documentary was recreated in a studio because the original footage was damaged beyond repair, he has hinted that the brief black and white footage shown in the 2006 Alien Autopsy movie, and recently highlighted by UNCENSORED, is some of the original, authentic footage.

Some firmly believe that this short film sequence does show an actual alien from the Roswell UFO crash. Others have a difficult time accepting that possibility, especially since John Humphreys, the sculptor who made the alien for Santilli's recreation, was also contracted to create the aliens seen in the Alien Autopsy comedy. "Yes I made the alien and performed the effects for the black and white sequence," he explained to UFO researcher and author Philip Mantle.
As the Metro reports, despite the claims of authentication by UNCENSORED, Mantle "describes it as 'utter bollocks'."

HANGAR dude ! not HANGER :p
Great… More poorly shot, lit and edited film offered as "evidence." I'm pretty sure the military, as ass backwards as they can be, would have clearly documented any recovery of an extraterrestrial as it would be in their own best interest.
Instead, we get presented with a shakey, over exposed, chaotic clip and are told that its legit.
Trudie
If the footage is real its probably a drill being run with a test crash dummy. Just like any the big foot film or other alien sightings, the camera isn't focused and everything is being disguised in a rush.
Another "film" that shows nothing, proves nothing yet is presented as "evidence" of the Rosewell crash. It's time we all face the fact that whatever alien-human interactions that have happened in the past will never ever see the light of day. The powers that be have successfully cemented the UFO community in a cask of impermeable confusion. This fact along with the reality that we are no longer being engaged by any alien race leaves us with hoaxers and "orb" freaks as our only source for UFO news.
morganlean
This footage is fake, and a poor quality fake. A military camera man would not make these basic mistakes. And finally, colour film was always used post WW2.
below is what film footage from 1947 looks like.
it looks nothing like the clip above. the clip above is heavily edited video, not 8 or 16mm film.
there are numerous filters and aftereffects that can be used to achieve a film look, but you can tell film from video.

Posted December 7, 2017 by Fat Finger & filed under Technology news.
In the U.S and some other countries, Black Friday is one of the most awaited days of the year—mainly due to the massive price off items on the day. Most people delay buying what they want for weeks or even months just so they can buy it on Black Friday—for a discounted price of course. No wonder, sales of retail items soar on the day and this was evident this year as well. Not only did people throng to retail stores to buy all they desired, they also helped create a new online sales record!
In August, Forrester Research Inc—an American market research company, forecasted that holiday sales in 2017 will increase from $115 billion in 2016 to $129 billion. The actual figure was higher and a major reason for this was the record Black Friday online sales. Data unveiled by the retail intelligence unit of Salesforce—an American cloud computing company, shows a 24% increase in Black Friday online sales from the previous year. Compared to the $3.34 billion the previous year, online Black Friday sales this year reached an impressive $5 billion.
According to Salesforce, the online Black Friday orders placed using a desktop or laptop computer were 49% while 42% of the orders were made via a smartphone. 9% of the orders were placed through other devices. This is the first time in history that the online orders generated on Black Friday were less than half of the overall orders placed, representing a clear shift in the preferred shopping way of consumers.
Spending $5 billion within 24-hours, American shoppers created a new online sales record. According to Adobe Digital Insights, most of this spending or 80% of it was done at the 100 largest retail websites of the country. According to Amazon—a digital retail giant, orders rolled in at record levels on Black Friday. For instance, over two hundred thousand toys were sold online during the first few hours of the day—five to be precise. With most people preferring online shopping on Black Friday, the sales of the brick and mortar stores was impacted—with foot traffic at stores being 1% less than what it was the previous year.
According to Adobe, of all the Black Friday visits to retail sites and the online revenue generated on the day, 54.3% and 36.9 % respectively occurred on mobile devices. The American software company further revealed that tablets' conversion rates on the day increased by 13% from the previous year while there was a 16.5% increase in the same for smartphones. As per the data of Adobe, the AOV was $135. However, Monetate—an American software company that offers personalized solution to brands, did a little better in this regard with AOV of $142.86.
According to Monetate that tracked two hundred million digital touchpoints across smart phones, tablets and desktops on Black Friday and Thanksgiving, its desktop AOV of $173.02 was the best of the lot. The company also reported a 30% increase in its mobile page viewership from the previous year's Thanksgiving. Salesforce reports smart phones accounting for sixty percent of retail websites traffic—a 7% increase from the previous year. The cloud computing company extracted the numbers by tracking the online behavior of over 300 million shoppers. In a blog pertaining to sales on Black Friday, Salesforce revealed that the shoppers aren't just browsing on phones, they are placing their orders from them as well—the 42% online orders placed via smart phones being a testament to that.
As already mentioned, e-commerce businesses experienced a 24% increase in Black Friday sales this year. And, the combined growth for Black Friday and Thanksgiving this year was 26%. However, the Black Friday stats don't end there—there is more to come.
According to Shopify—an ecommerce giant, over five hundred thousand merchants that employ its services, this year performed the best they've ever done on Black Friday. Beating last year's $555,716, over $1 million sales were made through Shopify each minute. This was revealed in an announcement by the company. According to Shopify, this year the percentage of mobile devices used to place orders with it on Black Friday were 66%–an increase of 8% from the previous year.
Performing brilliantly across all platforms, the Black Friday and Thanksgiving online sales of Rakuten Marketing were as good as those of the companies mentioned above. According to the company, it experienced a 23% overall online revenue growth this year on Black Friday and Thanksgiving Day. The company further revealed its mobile revenue for the week: Sunday to Friday, grew by 43% this year—with AOV and purchases on smart phones up 7% and 34% respectively.
According to Rakuten, most of the purchase and sales activities on Thanksgiving and Black Friday happened during the afternoon. Studying ad engagement and click-through rates, the company discovered the aforementioned-activities peaked in the week leading to the holiday—with ad engagement and CTRs increasing by 111% and 154% respectively. The company says that consumers started searching and researching for products in advance before the holidays. The trend of record online sales continued to Cyber Monday not just for Rakuten, but for all of the companies mentioned.
As far as holiday sales go, this year has been a year of records. In 2017, Black Friday, Thanksgiving Day and Cyber Monday records were broken. As seen above, online shoppers shopped almost impulsively on Black Friday, contributing to $5 billion sales on the day. Whether this record will be broken next year or any time soon remains to be seen but one thing is for sure: people have completely warmed up to the idea of making their holiday sales online.

By Tim H. 30th October 2018.
We spoke to Max Lowe, the photographer on our latest shoot in British Columbia, about his work, the trip and what it was like out in the powder wilderness of BC.
All images in this article © Max Lowe.
Q: Hi Max, tell us a little bit about yourself!
A: My name is Max Lowe, I am from Bozeman Montana and I am an adventure storyteller. I started as a still photographer at the beginning of my career and have since gone on to shoot and direct film as well, but my heart still ties me to still photography in something I just truly love.
Q: What was your role on the shoot in British Columbia?
A: I joined the Faction crew in B.C. to do a week at the Sunrise Hut, shooting stills with a small crew of skiers as we traversed an amazing spectrum of some of the most beautiful skiing terrain I have been privy to. We spent a week up there, cut off from the outside world purely focused on getting into the mountains from sunup to sundown.
Q: How would you describe Sunrise Lodge?
A: Sunrise lodge is everything you could ever need in a backcountry hut while still being basic. With cooking and wood fired heating, beds for everyone and even a little sauna, it's the perfect home base for long days.
Q: To outsiders, BC has an almost spiritual reputation as a dream location. Would you say that's true? Is there a special aura around this place?
A: I would say that B.C. definitely holds some sort of spiritual sway. There are snowy mountains the world across, but in B.C., where you can look out and see massive peaks and infinite potential to ski pretty much as far as the eye can see, it's easy to see it as the legendary Valhalla for those who value snow sliding. During out stay at Sunrise as well, I feel like the spiritual aspect of the place really came to the forefront as well in the sense that we felt so utterly isolated in this amazing snowscape. The snow is so deep that no animals really venture that high up, and even the birds don't go much above the tree line so your walking through these snowy landscapes that seem almost sterilely quiet and pristine.
Q: What were the team's plans for the trip? Are there any particular lines / routes / peaks that stick out to you?
A: When we flew in, we honestly didn't really know what we would find. We hadn't hired a guide, and didn't have much knowledge of the area beyond some topo maps we had scoured, but that didn't end up mattering much anyway. When you get to the hut, your immediately drawn to the high alpine; these huge peaks towering above, so those became our objectives pretty quickly, but as the week went by we started to discover all these other amazing lines that we had overlooked in the trees and side country near the lodge.
Q: What's it like working with Tim, Duncan, Antti & Etienne?
A: Working with the crew we had up there was amazing, it always amazes me when I am able to shoot with professional athletes like them. There is a beautiful formula that occurs when as a photographer your able to take a landscape and the talents of athletes who can take your vision as the creative and bring it to life.
Q: It was Antti's first time skinning right? How was his backcountry debut?
A: Antti did well over all! I was super surprised how well he kept up with the crew for it being his first time touring, and we did some huge days that definitely were pushing my boundaries of comfort.
Q: What is your process for shooting on a trip like this? Tell us about how you choose your angles and spots?
A: In general I try and work with the light as much as possible regardless of what I am shooting and that doesn't change when it comes to skiing. I think its always fun to try and find new angles and challenging frames where timing and placement of the athlete in the image is going to have to be precise as well.
Q: Is there one moment that has stuck with you from this trip?
A: Our first day out was mostly an exploratory mission just scoping zones, but on our way back to the hut we topped out on this big peak overlooking the hut and the whole valley it was nestled down in. The sun was setting and at the same time a wicked wind was blowing super hard and snow was thick in the air, and it was the moment that it all really came home how wild and remote this place was out here in the mountains.
Q: Do you think you'd go back?
A: Oh god, without a doubt! I am already scheming a trip for next year..

The International Institute on Race, Equality and Human Rights is a human rights organization created in 2015 working in partnership with local activists in Latin America to build grass roots movements that promote and protect the rights of populations marginalized because of gender, ethnicity, race, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability.
The Institute has a dynamic capacity-building approach to promote the rights of Afro-Latinos, LGBTI people, indigenous peoples, women and other marginalized communities. Using a combination of litigation, community mobilization, human rights reporting, research and advocacy methodology at the domestic and international level, we join our partners in developing and implementing strategies for change. Critical to this work is expanding the role of NGOs representing marginalized communities at the regional level. Hence our program includes building the capacity of our partners for advocating for the full incorporation of discrimination issues at the Organization of American States (OAS) and litigation within the Inter-American Human Rights System, in coordination with domestic litigation, policy advocacy and community mobilization. Using the Universal System is also crucial for the advancement of human rights, in particular the Special Procedures and Treaty Bodies, such as the UN CERD and CEDAW Committees. The Institute works extensively in the UN system.

A presentation by Jeffery Robinson, ACLU Deputy Legal Director and Director of the Trone Center for Justice and Equality.
President Trump claims that removing Confederate symbols amounts to erasing history. False. This is about whether we as a nation choose to honor those who made their names fighting for white supremacy and slavery. Taking down these symbols from our public spaces is a critical step toward rooting out racial injustice and creating a more inclusive and just society.
We need to be informed for this fight. Jeffery Robinson will speak about the dark history of the Confederacy and the monuments built in public spaces around the country – what these symbols really mean and how they've been used by politicians to rewrite history and incite racial violence. Then we'll roll up our sleeves and join the movement to take down every last one.

"The EPA official tasked to head up the Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention office, Nancy Beck, came to the job after working as a former high-level official for a chemical industry association. She was charged with updating the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), which addresses the production, use and disposal of such chemicals as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), asbestos, radon and lead-based paint.
Not surprisingly, Beck's updated TSCA regulations significantly weaken government regulations over these chemicals in consumer products and building materials by removing the provision for regulating all uses of chemicals.
In response, Earthjustice filed two lawsuits against the EPA late last week for weakening these regulations. The suits were filed on behalf of organizations representing populations that are most at risk from weakened chemical regulations—low-income communities, parents and teachers of children with learning disabilities, workers and indigenous populations.
Application Due: See deadlines in the job description.

The site has high quality graphics and all boards are fully scalable. With games like these, players may seldom break out their own backgammon boards at home!
The site is part of the Melita Gaming Network and hosts many exclusive tournaments. One of the more recognized tournaments is the World Series of Backgammon Online Tour. 2010 marked the first year that the World Series of Backgammon would be played in cyberspace. This first online tour was played at PlayWsob.com and was formatted around five different online tournaments. The payouts for the tournament were 100% of the prize pool. As with all other live tours, the WSOB Race is the common theme that connects the tournaments. Players will win points for each match that they win and only the best three results out of five will count. After tallying the points, the top 16 players in the Race won seats at the Play-offs.
In addition to these amazing tournaments, PlayWSOB recently partnered with BIBA, Britain's oldest backgammon organization. The partnership is allowing PlayWSOB.com to become the lead sponsor of the English Open and the Bright 'n' Breezy Tournament in England. The spokesperson for PlayWSOB.com, Andy Bell, commented that this new partnership is a great opportunity because it forms a link between the quality of play that is offered at PlayWSOB and BIBA's long standing reputation for holding some of the best offline tournaments in the UK.
One of the highlights for PlayWSOB.com was the Heads-Up Championship. This was the first tournament of this kind and included Mochy Mochizuki and Jurgen Orlowski. Mochy is one of the most revered players in the world of backgammon and he has won multiple championships and titles. These two players have accepted an invitation to play five matches of 11 points. The games were hosted by Paul Weaver. After 2 days and 10 hours of competitive play, the Championship came to an end and Mochy was the winner. The win over the backgammon giant Orlowski was a milestone in Mochy's career and attracted 100 spectators.

That's A Wrap: Romeo Langford
Welcome to "That's A Wrap," our player-by-player recap of the 2018-2019 Indiana Hoosiers. Today: Romeo Langford. Previously: Damezi Anderson, Rob Phinisee, Jake Forrester
Langford (32 games): 16.5 ppg, 5.4 rpg, 2.3 apg, 44.8% FG, 27.3% 3PFG, 72.2% FT in 34.1 minutes per game
The commitment of New Albany star Romeo Langford on April 30, 2018 was supposed to be a turning point for IU basketball.
The Hoosiers, in desperate need of star power on the perimeter, were getting one of the nation's best and most versatile scorers in Langford.
For Archie Miller, who just 13 months earlier had laid out his "inside-out" recruiting approach in his introductory press conference, it was a statement that Indiana was now a formidable contender for the state's elite talent.
Less than a year after Langford put on the IU cap in front of several thousand fans at New Albany High School, the reality is that his brief career as a Hoosier feels like a missed opportunity for the program.
A season that started 12-2 and looked destined for the NCAA tournament ended with the Hoosiers bowing out to Wichita State in the quarterfinals of the NIT. Langford didn't play in any of the team's three NIT games after suffering a back injury in the Big Ten tournament.
While some may view Langford's individual performance as a freshman as a disappointment, it was far from it. In fact, things would have been much worse without him on the floor.
The McDonald's All-American played through a ligament injury that hampered his perimeter shot and yet, he was still one of the nation's best and most reliable freshmen scorers over 32 games.
Offensively, Langford's perimeter shot was a challenge, but the rest of his polished offensive repertoire was not. He showed off his patented step back jump shot quite often and when get was able to get a full head of steam going to the basket, he was unstoppable at times. Langford took a team-high 194 free throws and knocked down 72.2 percent of them.
The fact that Langford averaged a team-best 16.5 points per game despite being surrounded by a roster that lacked the perimeter shooting necessary to space the floor is quite an accomplishment. Once Big Ten defenses figured out that packing the paint was the key to slowing down the Hoosiers and Langford, the driving lanes narrowed and the future lottery pick was often forced to go against multiple defenders.
Langford also grew as a defender over his freshman as he morphed from a guy that at times looked disinterested in playing defense in high school to a player who embraced getting stops. Archie Miller often challenged Langford on the defensive end and the star freshman typically answered the call.
Beyond the basketball side of things, it's hard to imagine anyone else being able to navigate the pressure of being billed a savior like Langford did. He was no doubt a celebrity in the state and yet, he remained quiet, humble and always willing to take a picture with fans or sign an autograph.
Bottom Line: Langford's best basketball is ahead of him and next fall, he'll likely be tipping off his NBA career. While Indiana did not meet its goals as a team this season, Langford was one of the nation's best freshmen. The injury he suffered in November clearly took a toll on his perimeter shooting, but Langford never complained and played in every game until a back injury sidelined him late in the season. Ultimately, he'll be remembered fondly by fans for staying home and taking on the challenge of trying to restore the IU program to greatness.
Quotable: "Very few people in the history of college basketball can come in with the hype, the reputation and the amount of responsibility that he was going to be handed, and he's handled it with unbelievable team approach. He's a learner. He works hard every single day, and he's also a guy that understands that there's a lot of eyes on him, and sometimes he's allowed to make mistakes. We've had to remind him of that throughout the course of the year. You're allowed to play poorly at times, you're allowed to make mistakes. You're not going to be perfect." – Archie Miller on Langford in early February.
