BELLE PLAINE, Minn. – After fighting to restore a monument designed to honor veterans, the people of Belle Plaine are now dealing with the unintended consequences of their actions as a satanist group makes plans to install a monument of their own.
As Alpha News previously reported, the controversy surrounded a monument of a kneeling soldier in front of a cross-shaped grave marker with a rifle in his hand. The Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF) succeeded in removing the cross from the Belle Plaine Minnesota Veterans Memorial in January by taking their complaints to the city.
Belle Plaine residents were outraged with the city's decision to remove the cross from the monument. A group of citizens, led by Andy Parrish, former Chief of Staff and campaign director for former US Representative Michele Bachmann, started a Facebook page and movement to restore the cross entitled "Defend Veterans Park."
A community effort ensued to replace the cross in the memorial. Candidate for Minnesota Attorney General Doug Wardlow, working for Alliance Defending Freedom, helped lead the legal battle. He proposed the city create a small section of land designated as a limited public forum. The measure would allow individuals – within certain restrictions and approval by the City Council – to put up memorials honoring veterans in the park.
A proposal similar to Wardlow's was adopted, and the cross at Belle Plaine Memorial Park was reinstalled. However, the city's version of the proposal did not include the residency requirement that was in Wardlow's proposal, which opened the doors to outside groups getting involved.
Now, the Satanic Temple in Salem, Mass. is planning to put a monument of their own in the Memorial Park. The Star Tribune reports the memorial is designed to be a black cube, inscribed with inverted pentagrams and crowned by an upturned helmet.
"Belle Plaine's limited public forum policy creates a space for private expression honoring veterans. It is consistent with the First Amendment, which protects private expression including speech that many may find objectionable." Wardlow told Alpha News. "The people viewing the displays can judge for themselves whether the expression is worthy of praise or condemnation." Wardlow said.
Wardlow's counterpart in the effort to get the cross reinstalled weighed in on the issue as well. "I've seen the plans," said Parrish, "it's not offensive, just annoying."
According to to the Star Tribune, the Reason Alliance, the Satanic Temple's nonprofit fundraising arm, says it filed an application to erect the memorial to "honor nonreligious service members."
The Satanic Temple did not respond to Alpha News' questions about the memorial at the time of publication.

Damian Lillard Reacts To Blazers Trade Request Rumor
Anthony AmadorMay 1, 2021
Damian Lillard On Why He's The 2nd Best NBA Shooter Ever
The Portland Trail Blazers are 35-28 on the year and sit seventh in the Western Conference.
After an impressively hot performance in the NBA Bubble last season, many assumed Portland would take a Phoenix Suns-type step forward this season. That hasn't happened. Between injuries and somewhat uneven play, the Blazers have returned to the middling status they've been at for years now.
As a result, questions have started to pop up about Lillard's future with the organization. Despite him being pretty consistent in his position, chatter is growing louder regarding a possible exit.
This week, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports dedicated an entire column to pointing out all the reasons Lillard might demand out of Portland.
"Simply put, Lillard has not received the help he needs to win a title in this era," he wrote. "As he turns 31 this summer and considering all he's done for the franchise, a more aggressive, risky approach is needed in order to pair him with another bona fide star. No one has ever questioned the fight in Lillard. But it is fair to ask if he's been fighting the good fight alone."
Lillard addressed the column this week following his team's impressive showing against the Brooklyn Nets.
"Somebody reached out to me and mentioned it to me," he said.
"I took it for what it was. That's his thoughts. I was kind of…what word should I use? Not irritated with him because he's a writer. That's what he does. I can't expect him to not do his job. But I know because of our relationship, that people would assume that I was tied to the story. I think that was the only thing that bothered me about it. I lean on the fact that, me and Neil [President of Basketball Operations Neil Olshey], if we have a conversation, I know that I can go into his office and walk in that door and tell him whatever I think. And we've had those conversations.
"Same with Terry [Head Coach Terry Stotts]. I think he was doing his job and for me, I just lean on people know who I am. Even with you guys… if you guys ask me a question, I answer it. I tell you what I think. I say how I feel. And most importantly, behind closed doors, the same goes for the people in our business," he continued.
"Obviously it was no secret. I mentioned it to you guys, I think, in Utah. It's been frustrating. I also mentioned to you guys that I haven't been my most healthy this year. It's probably been my most difficult season physically. I don't think that's no secret. When I saw it, I knew what it was, but I take solace in the things I just mentioned. It is what it is."
Context is key here.
Lillard has a known relationship with Haynes, and as such, it's not particularly surprising that people would assume that the latter is just revealing the thoughts of the former.
That said, Lillard is also not one to bite his tongue. Whether he's giving his thoughts on the Nets, telling it how it is on the Kevin Durant-Russell Westbrook dynamic, or revealing his biggest flaw – he generally always keeps it very real. So if he genuinely wanted to be traded by the Blazers, it's unlikely that he would hesitate to admit it.
Speculation about star players' futures is common in the NBA. That said, barring Lillard emerging and actually saying something himself about leaving, for now at least, the assumption should be that he wants to remain in Portland.

MUMBAI: The Indian Broadcasting Foundation (IBF) has said that the pay broadcasters will be raising invoices based on the pricing under the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India's (TRAI) new MRP regime beginning 1st February.
The IBF issued this clarification after some its member broadcasters received queries from the distribution platform operators (DPOs) regarding submission of monthly subscriber reports (MSRs) and billing for the month of February after the deadline for migrating remaining TV users was extended till 31st March.
In a statement, the foundation stated that its member broadcasters have executed the Reference Interconnect Agreements (RIOs) under the New MRP Regime with the DPOs and have implemented the New MRP Regime effective 1st February 2019 as mandated by TRAI.
It also said that the DPOs have to provide their monthly subscriber reports (MSRs) as mandated under the New MRP Regime in respect of each of their subscribers on the duly notified dates of 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th of every month.
"Kindly note that from the month of February 2019 onwards our member broadcasters will be raising invoices on DPOs in accordance with the provisions stipulated by TRAI under the New MRP Regime," IBF said in the statement.
It also clarified that the media release is being issued by IBF on behalf of its member broadcasters for the purpose of clarifying the position in regard to the foregoing.
The TRAI had issued a letter dated 4th February to the IBF categorically stating that all provisions of the New MRP Regime must be enforced from 1st February 2019 and directed IBF to inform its member broadcasters to ensure compliance with the New MRP Regime from the said date. "IBF and its members have unequivocally affirmed their support for the smooth implementation of the New MRP Regime," the statement said.
The new MRP regime came into effect from 29th December 2018. However, the TRAI had given a one-month grace period to the customers to shift to the new regime. The DPOs were expected to migrate customers to packages under the new regime from 1st February.
On 12th February, the TRAI had extended the deadline for the customers who had not exercised their choice under the new regime till 31st March. It had also asked DPOs to migrate customers to 'Best Fit Plans' till they exercise their options.
It also said that subscribers will be free to change their 'Best Fit Plan' at any date and time on or before 31st July 2019 and DPOs shall convert their 'Best Fit Plan' into the desired pack (channel/Bouquet) within 72 hours from the time choice exercised by the subscriber.
TRAI has also acknowledged that 65% of cable services subscribers and 35% of DTH subscribers have already migrated to the new MRP Regime.

summer research dilemma - please help?
i applied to a couple of summer research programs and recently got accepted into one last week. in the acceptance email, they gave me until tomorrow (tuesday 4/13) to reply with my decision to accept/decline the offer.
however, just today, i found out that i am #2 on the waitlist for another research program which is actually more appealing to me research-wise (cancer research) and also pays significantly more (1.5k difference), but i won't find out whether i'm accepted until wednesday 4/14.
what should i do? should i just accept the offer from the first program and just forget about the 2nd one or decline the offer and risk the waitlist? if i risk it and don't get in then i have nothing to do for the summer.
OR should i email the program coordinator from the first program and ask for an extension to decide? this is what i'm leaning towards doing, but how do I go about asking for an extension?
thanks a lot for your help guys. i really appreciate it!!
decline the offer and risk the waitlist?
It's not like you have anything to lose.
Just be vague and say something about personal reasons if you feel the need to give an explanation.
you should definitely take the first acceptance!!..i was in the same position as you were. i got into downstate but I rejected them and took a risk and waited....the one that I waited for the next day accepted me but I found out that they accepted 10 out of 5000+ applications which was a very small percentage(Thomas Jefferson)...i took a risk but to alleviate the anxiety, take the first one just to be safe...best of luck!!!


Did you know the oral cavity is a common site for various tumors in cats? Mouth cancer in cats is one of the most common types of cancer in the feline community, accounting for 3% of all feline cancers. Mouth cancer is caused by malignant tumors developed within the oral cavity. Cheeks, back or roof of the mouth, tongue, lips, and upper or lower jaw are the most common locations.
Among the different types of malignant tumors, oral squamous cell carcinoma is the most common. This is a serious disease that invades the surrounding mouth structures, including tongue, mandible, dental arcade, and maxilla. Unfortunately, the tumor often goes unnoticed until the lesion has advanced. Although cats suffering from the condition experience intense oral pain, they do not exhibit any signs of the condition until they develop bad breath. Also known as halitosis, bad breath is caused by bacterial infection in the cat's mouth. Early detection of oral cancer in cats is crucial for a proper diagnosis and successful treatment.
It is a form of cancer that develops in the cells that produce the cat's mouth and throat lining, including tongue, cheeks, gums, and tonsils. The cancerous cells grow quickly in the mouth tissues. Only a tiny part of the tumor growth is visible, while the rest remains hidden beneath. This makes detection difficult for owners.
Bad breath, refusal to eat food, facial swelling, swollen gums, drooling, and teeth loss are some of the most common symptoms of mouth cancer in cats. However, these may also be signs of periodontal disease.
The following are the most notable symptoms of mouth cancer in cats.
An active and agile cat may suddenly start to show signs of lethargy.
A kitty who loves being caressed on the chin may start resisting your touch.
Her food preferences may change. For example, if your kitty loves dry crunchy food, she may suddenly develop a liking for canned food. This may be a sign of pain in her oral cavity.
Dying tissue in the mouth is one of the main causes of nasty mouth smell or bad breath.
Some other symptoms of mouth cancer in cats include mouth bleeding, facial swelling, oral discharge, sudden weight loss, loose teeth, teeth loss, reduced appetite, or difficulty swallowing. Your furry friend may resist opening her mouth, as she experiences pain doing so. Loose teeth could indicate the destruction of bone due to the growth of a tumor.
Your pet may start scratching their faces when they experience signs of pain. They may start dribbling too.
An aggressive form of oral cancer in cats, oral squamous cell carcinoma or SCC is an extremely invasive tumor that attacks the jaw bone.
Although there is no specific cause of mouth cancer in cats, the following environmental and dietary factors may contribute to the growth of malignant tumors in the oral cavity.
A higher intake of canned food, especially tuna fish, may contribute to the development of cat mouth cancer.
Besides, the risk of oral cancer in cats may increase with the use of flea collars.
Cats with an increased exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke may be at a risk of SCC.
If you suspect something wrong with your kitty, it is crucial to take her to the veterinarian.
The vet may begin the diagnosis with a review of the cat's medical history and symptoms.
A simple palpation may help detect any signs of enlargement of the lymph nodes under the jaw and along the neck. If the lymph nodes are found to be swollen, this may indicate that the cat is fighting a serious medical condition.
For a complete diagnosis of the feline oral cancer, he may want to fully examine your cat's mouth. In order to do so, sedation or anesthesia may be required to examine suspected tumors in the back of the cat's mouth or on the tongue.
If he finds a tumor or mass in the oral cavity, he may request blood work.
A tissue biopsy is done to confirm and determine the type, stage, and treatment of cancer. An X-ray of the skull helps identify the invasion of the SCC in the bony structures of the jaw.
A chest X-ray may be done before the biopsy to check for signs of metastasis to the lungs, as oral cancer in cats is very aggressive. This gives the vet a clear picture of the extent of spread and growth of tumor masses within the cat's body.
Advanced imaging may be performed to evaluate bone invasion and the extension into the surrounding areas, including the pharynx, nasal cavity, or eye.
Treatment of feline oral cancer depends on the location of the oral mass. It also depends on the extent of the spread of the mass or tumor to the surrounding tissues or bones.
Surgery is often performed to remove the tumor from the front portion of the cat's mouth. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to remove the mass. This is so especially if the tumor is located on the back or roof of the mouth. Surgery may not be an option if the tumor has spread to vital structures.
Radiation therapy and chemotherapy may be alternative options to slow down the progression of cancer. These are options to improve the comfort level and quality of life of a kitty diagnosed with cat mouth cancer.
With therapeutic treatments, you can temporarily shrink the tumor, so that the cat does not experience much pain in her oral cavity and can eat properly. Early detection of mouth cancer in cats can increase the chances of the kitty's survival.

As senior Katherine Boujee made her way to her first period class on Oct. 22, an obstacle stood in her way. She rounded a corner, climbed the stairs and instead of being faced with what would've been the Ghost Hallway, there were two large wooden doors blocking her route.
Although Assistant Principal Anthony Artproject says the hallway was closed due to improper use by students and safety concerns, Boujee claims that is not the case. Boujee said that teachers who usually sit in their classrooms during their prep periods have started to leave their rooms and go to an "unknown" location.
Now, to further investigate Boujee's claims, a team of five students has come together. These students met up after school one day and "devised a plan to check out the Ghost Hallway" according to Boujee, who is a friend of the members of the group. They are set on finding out the real reason the hallway was "mysteriously" shut down, according to senior Fred Wenn, a member of the group.
The group consists of Wenn along with sophomore Daphne Bloom, sophomore Shaggy Stone and senior Velma Smith.
Even though the so-called "Mystery Busters" violated many school rules, they found a way to enter the Ghost Hallway through the dock elevator located near the kitchen and loading dock. When the students finally entered the hallway, they did not understand what was happening at first, according to Stone.
According to Wenn, before the teachers noticed they were in the hallway, they ran back to the elevator to "escape the horror." The students proceeded to call the authorities and report what the teachers were doing. Since the teachers involved technically did not break any laws, they were unable to press charges. The students also received no punishments for entering the Ghost Hallway.
Superintendent Patricia Compass was asked to provide a statement on the subject but declined.
Later on, Compass contacted Artproject and explained that she was upset because she did not receive an invitation to the "disco parties" that have been taking place in the Ghost Hallway since it has been shut down, according to Artproject. There hasn't been any word on if the hallway parties have been terminated.

Hermaphroditos () ist eine Gestalt der griechischen Mythologie, die sowohl männliche als auch weibliche körperliche Merkmale aufweist. Ursprünglich war er eine besonders in Zypern als Gottheit verehrte männliche Form der Aphrodite, die Aphroditos () genannt wurde. Die Namensform Hermaphroditos geht auf die Darstellung der Aphrodite als Herme zurück und bedeutet zuerst nur "Herme des Aphroditos", in der Literatur ist diese Namensform erstmals bei Theophrastos belegt.

Hermaphroditos wird in der weiteren mythologischen Ausdeutung zur eigenständigen Figur entwickelt. Bei späteren Autoren ist er ein Jüngling, den Aphrodite dem Hermes geboren hatte. Durch Wirken der Götter wird sein Körper mit dem der Nymphe Salmakis verschmolzen, wodurch er zum Zwitter wird. Die einzig vollständig erhaltene mythologische Überlieferung des Hermaphroditos findet sich bei Ovid.

Mythos

Bei Ovid vereinigte Hermaphroditos nicht nur den Namen seiner beiden Eltern in seinem eigenen, sondern es spiegelten sich auch beider Gesichtszüge in seinem Antlitz wider. Er wurde von Najaden in den Höhlen auf dem Berg Ida großgezogen. Als er fünfzehn Jahre zählte, entschied er sich, den Ida zu verlassen, um die Welt kennenzulernen.

Als er, von Lykien kommend, durch Karien wanderte, gewahrte er einen schönen Teich mit überaus klarem Wasser und saftigem Grün an den Ufern. Als er sich diesem näherte, wurde die an dessen Ufern lebende Nymphe Salmakis auf ihn aufmerksam und wünschte, ihn zu besitzen. Sie machte ihm glühendste Avancen und versprach ihm ihre Liebe. Er jedoch, in Liebe unerfahren und mit dem Begriff schon wenig anfangen könnend, errötete beschämt und schob sie von sich. Weitere, noch intensivere Versuche ihrerseits führten dazu, dass er sie schließlich von sich stieß und drohte, zu fliehen und sie und den Ort zu verlassen.

Als ihm Salmakis daraufhin den Platz überließ und den Anschein gab, sich zurückzuziehen, entledigte sich der Jüngling seiner Kleidung und stieg ins Wasser des Teiches. Durch seine Nacktheit ihm noch mehr verfallen, riss sich die Nymphe, die versteckt im Gebüsch sein Auskleiden beobachtet hatte, die Kleider vom Leib und sprang zu ihm ins Wasser. Er wurde von ihr gegen seinen Willen umarmt, ständig mal von der einen, mal von der anderen Seite geküsst und schließlich wie von einer Schlange heftig umschlungen. Als er sich daraufhin trotzdem weiter gegen sie wehrte, bat sie die Götter Hermes und Aphrodite, kein Tag möge sie von ihm und ihn von ihr trennen. Dem Wunsch wurde entsprochen, und beide verschlungenen Körper verschmolzen zu einem einzigen, eine Zwittergestalt, sowohl Mann als auch Frau und doch eigentlich keines von beidem.

Als Hermaphroditos bemerkte, dass ihn das Wasser des Teiches, in das er hinabgestiegen war, zum Zwitter gemacht und verweiblicht hatte, stieß er den Wunsch mit seiner nunmehr nicht mehr männlichen Stimme in Richtung seiner Eltern aus, jeden Mann, der in diesen Teich steige, möge dasselbe Schicksal wie ihn selbst ereilen, er möge zum Zwitter und weibisch werden. Die Eltern ließen sich rühren und legten einen Zauber, der das bewirkte, über das Wasser des Teiches.

Hermaphroditos ist nicht das einzige Zwitterwesen der Antike, daneben gibt es beispielsweise Agdistis.

Rezeption

Kunst und Kultur

In der Kunst wurde der Mythos häufig dargestellt. Berühmt ist der Schlafende Hermaphrodit, der auf eine Bronzeplastik des griechischen Bildhauers Polykles aus dem 2. Jahrhundert v. Chr. zurückgeht. Antike Marmorkopien finden sich in Paris im Louvre (Borghese Hermaphroditus) und in zwei Kopien in Rom, und zwar im Palazzo Massimo alle Terme und in der Galleria Borghese. Diese Genrestatuen sind auch als Gestürzter Hermaphrodit bekannt. Im Archäologischen Nationalmuseum in Athen befindet sich eine Variation des Typus als Mänade. Die Urheberschaft des Werkes ist allerdings umstritten: Man weiß zwar aus der Naturalis historia des älteren Plinius, dass Polykles eine bedeutende Statue eines Hermaphroditen schuf. Alternativ wird aber vorgeschlagen, dass es sich dabei um den sogenannten Berliner Hermaphroditen in der Antikensammlung Berlin handelt.

Im Jahr 1425 veröffentlichte Antonio Beccadelli in Bologna eine lateinische Sammlung obszöner und satirischer Epigramme unter dem Titel Hermaphroditus.

Der britische Dichter Algernon Charles Swinburne verfasste 1863 das Gedicht Hermaphroditus, das auf die Statue im Louvre Bezug nimmt.

Die Progressive-Rock-Band Genesis verarbeitete diesen Mythos 1971 auf ihrem Album Nursery Cryme in dem Song The fountain of Salmacis, bei dem Sänger Peter Gabriel abwechselnd die Rollen von Hermaphroditos, Salmakis und eines Erzählers einnimmt. Auf Frank Blacks Album Dog In The Sand ist ebenfalls ein Titel namens Hermaphroditos enthalten.

Eine literarische Bearbeitung des Themas findet sich in dem Roman Middlesex von Jeffrey Eugenides, der im Jahr 2003 mit dem Pulitzer-Preis ausgezeichnet wurde.

Biologie und Medizin
Hermaphroditismus oder Zwittrigkeit bzw. Zwittertum bezeichnet in der Biologie das Vorkommen von doppelgeschlechtlichen Individuen, also Individuen mit männlicher und weiblicher Geschlechtsausprägung, die sowohl männliche als auch weibliche Keimzellen ausbilden, bei einer Art. Die heutige Bezeichnung von intersexuellen Menschen als Hermaphroditen bzw. das Phänomen des Hermaphroditismus sowie Pseudohermaphroditismus ist ebenfalls eine Anlehnung an diesen Mythos.

Umgangssprachlich wird auch der Begriff Morphodit für spezielle Formen verwendet.

Angry on waking, and caught up in it on first sitting down. I remembered that it cannot be solved at the same level, mixed up in it, and I realised that any attempt to even approach things with a solution in mind is not the way to go. I was then able to observe it more neutrally and before long begin the vipassana practice of moving attention from head to feet and from feet to head with the understanding of annica. The not-new revelation that thought swims quickly away from any sensation, even from simple awareness of any given body part. This swimming away can be seen too, and as time goes on, the unecessaryness of it becomes obvious, without 'doing' anything about it. So the movements away lessen of their own accord and attention can remain on sensation without these modifications of the mind and avoidance techniques. These reactions of thought scatter and disperse the natural quiet of the mind. Mere sensation is enough for the mind to go into a tailspin and a mild flurry of 'not this, not this', running around like a headless chicken. Not to condemn this headless chicken but to see clearly that this behaviour is divisive, scattering and uses so much energy. So, it's not about controlling thought but of seeing it; not seeing from a place of judgement but seeing of itself.
Fearful dreams, nothing new, but what was new was that I was not running but steadily watching what was unfolding in the dreams, almost as if meditation was occurring within the dream itself, or at least an observation. I was no longer at the mercy of fear as has been common in my dreams for years.
This still observation carried forward into the morning sit, the organising brain going over some unresolved work issues that need to be addressed. Again fear wrapped up with these but a sense of laying the issues out so that they are easily visible, the consequences of hiding things away very apparent and therefore such action would be worthless.
Then the theme of 'where am I going with this meditation thing?' clear that any notion of where it ends or where it leads is false, and in fact a positively bonkers fantasy. The projected fantasy of some state or way of life in the future, and also a debilitating fear of where I might be going. Both equally false.
Awareness steady as I moved over the body, less of the flitting about from place to place that has been happening. Strong energies unfolding from the base of the torso, rippling through the rest of the body, so overwhelming that in moments I just don't know what is happening or where I am. Brand new in flowering energetic movements. Sit through it, sit through it, easy now. And the sciatic pains in the right leg and buttock. Sit through it, sit through it, easy now. And back up through the torso, a hoop of awareness almost complete, gliding upwards until what would be tight shoulders, upper back and neck but could not be felt, like they were nothing. Surprises all the way that things are not what I think there are, sensations are new now, not of the past. Alive.

King Edward VI Sheldon Heath Academy
Birmingham Academy gets big boost from top rugby programme
Pupils at King Edward VI Sheldon Heath Academy have been part of the CBRE All Schools programme for three years and are seeing large increases in pupils wanting to take up rugby.
Pupils at King Edward VI Sheldon Heath Academy are part of the CBRE All Schools programme.
Student interest in rugby is surpassing that of football at one Birmingham academy due to a programme which has been developing a legacy from the Rugby World Cup .
Pupils at King Edward VI Sheldon Heath Academy (KESH Academy) in Birmingham have been part of the CBRE All Schools programme for three years now and are seeing large increases in pupils wanting to take up the game. CBRE All Schools was launched in 2012 by England Rugby to give pupils who had never had an opportunity to play rugby the chance to get involved.
PE teacher Terry Dight insisted the children's interest and development through the programme had surpassed all expectations – and the academy were seeing huge benefits in and out of the classroom.
"It's overtaken our primary sport as we're quite a football area, but the interest in rugby has now surpassed that interest," he explained.
"The beauty of it is whatever shape or size you are there's a place you can play. The support from CBRE All Schools has been superb."
During the 2014/2015 season, over 130,000 students across the UK were introduced and had the chance to experience playing rugby, and 20,000 students have become regular participants, with 5,680 competitive matches organised between schools in the programme, and over 3,500 teachers and young leaders being provided with rugby training. Male and female students have got involved with rugby at the KESH Academy school, in lessons and after classes, with many representing their house teams in fixtures. The academy has also begun competing in fixtures against other nearby schools and recently entered the NatWest Schools Cup.
And Mr Dight believes the programme, which has seen the school receive extra funding and visits from specialist coaches, has had a far-reaching impact on the academy as a whole. He said: "Bonding, team work and students becoming decision makers – all those are skills that physical activity and sport does develop and those social skills have had a big impact on behaviour.''
* England Rugby's CBRE All Schools is a nationwide programme which is increasing the number of state secondary schools in England playing rugby. It is designed to create a sustained celebration of rugby and a lasting legacy for school children, schools and communities. With 400 more schools now playing rugby, by 2019 CBRE All Schools aims to reach another 350 secondary state schools who don't currently play rugby and create a positive legacy one million children.

Trump's Obama Envy May Be Tormenting Him Even More than the Possibility of Prison
Posted by Mark NC on September 4, 2022 at 11:53 am. 10 Comments :
The daily outpouring of unrestrained outrage by Donald Trump has become a spectacle that exceeds the pretensions of the most hyper-sensationalized soap opera. He somehow always manages to top his prior bombastic blathering with ever more rancor and hostility. It's core symptom of his sociopathic, malignant narcissism.
In recent weeks Trump has been bellowing about the FBI having searched his Mar-a-Lago bunker in order to retrieve thousands of documents that he unlawfully took from the White House, many of which were classified at the highest levels. And his petulant tantrums produced a preposterous array of excuses for his criminal conduct.
RELATED: WTF? Now Trump Says the FBI Was Looking for Hillary Clinton's Emails at Mar-a-Lago
But nothing seems to trigger Trump's tempter more than his being compared to former President Barack Obama. Trump's seething jealously of Obama was a prime motivating factor for his entry into politics, and it remains at the top of his list of personal grievances. Consequently, Trump is not going to happy to hear that Obama just won an Emmy for work on the Netflix documentary series, "Our Great National Parks."
"The five-part show, which features national parks from around the globe, is produced by Barack and Michelle Obama's production company, "Higher Ground."
"He was the biggest name in a category full of famous nominees for the award handed out at Saturday night's Creative Arts Emmys, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, David Attenborough and Lupita Nyong'o."
This is an especially touchy subject for Trump who long craved an Emmy for himself. But he was never even nominated throughout fourteen seasons of his cheesy reality game show, The Apprentice. Still, it was far from the only aching neglect that has vexed Trump's humungous, but fragile, ego.
Trump is surely distraught over the fact that Obama was elected twice by majorities of voters, while Trump lost the popular vote twice as well as the presidency in his second attempt. Although Trump did outscore Obama two to zero in impeachments.
As a result of what Trump regards as spurious snubs, he acted out in the most infantile manner. He refused to present the official White House portraits of Michelle and Barack Obama, as new presidents have done for decades for their predecessors. President Biden is going to correct that petty disrespect by Trump this week.
Meanwhile, Trump paid $650,000 to the Smithsonian Institution to fund portraits of himself and Melania for the National Portrait Gallery. That was money that he raised through his deceitfully named "Save America" PAC. Those are funds that he had promised to spend on electing MAGA Republicans, advancing the "Big Lie" that he won the 2020 election, and fight his legal battles.
RELATED: Trump Rips Off His Gullible Cult Followers, Spends $650K of Their Money on Portraits of Himself
Trump has also employed Obama "whataboutism" as one of his excuses for having stolen national security materials and storing them at his Palm Beach resort/home. in post on his floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump wondered…
"What happened to the 30 million pages of documents taken from the White House to Chicago by Barack Hussein Obama? He refused to give them back! What is going on? This act was strongly at odds with NARA. Will they be breaking into Obama's "mansion" in Martha's Vineyard?"
The truth, as noted in the Washington Post, is that "the Obama team was transferring the records to Chicago through the National Archives," [and that} "there isn't the faintest hint of legal violations." In other words, the documents were always managed by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), which controlled the facility in Chicago, and none of them were classified, which was affirmed by NARA.

Trump's Obama envy was still evident as recently as last night at his cult rally in Pennsylvania, where he whined that…
"I think we got like 10 million more votes than Obama got. Obama.. so popular. They say he's so handsome. He's such a great speaker. What does he say? He says nothing

Trump is so proud of getting more votes than Obama. Too bad it was four years later (Obama was happily retired), and he was running against Joe Biden, who got seven million more votes than Trump. What's more, Trump simply can't contain his jealousy of Obama's looks and oratory. It really is pathetic that Trump feels the need to constantly compare himself to someone so obviously superior in every way. He just keeps setting himself up to be seen as the loser that he has always been.
WHUT? Fox News Attacks Leaders That Congratulate Themselves – Who Aren't Trump
It must be getting harder for Fox News to manufacture positive stories about Donald Trump in the wake of his decisive loss to Joe Biden. Now that Trump is a one-term president he has entered into his sulking phase while his glassy-eyed disciples are blaming Fox News and scurrying off to even more dishonest purveyors of slobbering propaganda.
It took nearly three weeks, but Trump has finally – albeit reluctantly – accepted the reality that he is not going to be inaugurated in January. But that hasn't cooled his "election fraud" fever. He continues to tweet preposterous assertions that he won the election in a landslide and, but for alleged corruption on the part of Democrats, Republicans, the media, technology companies, Hugo Chavez, the CIA, and numerous other foes attached to the cabal that his paranoia has invented, he would be languishing in his divine victory.
So it has fallen to Fox News to develop a narrative that Trump can cling to during this time of sorrow for America's biggest loser. And one of the lame deflections that they have settled on is to attack New York governor Andrew Cuomo for having been awarded a special Emmy for his public addresses during the spring and summer when the coronavirus pandemic was pummeling the state and the nation.
Cuomo was broadly praised for his press conferences that were regarded as both informative and compassionate. The Emmy was in recognition of the comfort that he gave to millions of citizens during a difficult time. And they stood in stark contrast to Trump's Coronavirus Task Force briefings that mainly served as reelection campaign speeches where Trump made himself the center of attention, upstaging the experts who sat silent in the background like inanimate props.
The Emmy award triggered Fox News weather lady, Janice Dean, to embark on a mission to malign Cuomo. And on Tuesday morning she appeared on Fox and Friends First to spew her hostility and biased disinformation. The crux of her complaint was exhibited in this exchange:
Griff Jenkins: Janice, you have been waging a war for accountability for [Gov. Andrew] Cuomo, and now this [Emmy award]. Your thoughts this morning?
Janice Dean: It's really hard to watch. He does look like an actor, like all of his buddies in Hollywood. And I've been saying "if you want to be a celebrity, Gov. Cuomo, by all means move to Hollywood." Because we need real leadership in this town. Not a governor who goes around congratulating himself by writing a book during a pandemic and going on every radio and TV show to promote it while missing 17 meetings at the White House to talk about coronavirus and the pandemic.
First of all, Dean's reference to missed meetings are those of the phony task force which didn't invite Cuomo, nor would it have been productive for him to attend. What's more, Trump himself didn't attend those meetings for six months. Secondly, her animus toward Hollywood is burning with irony considering the extent to which Trump relies on celebrities to buttress his public image. The same morning that she was ranting on Fox News, Trump posted multiple tweets of marginal "celebrities" including James Woods and Jon Voight. Among them were also five (5!) tweets featuring crackpot Randy Quaid, including this psychedelic reading of Trump's own tweets:
TIME TO MAKE OAN & NEWSMAX RICH. FOX IS DEAD TO ME! pic.twitter.com/IhnDXCJ7a7
— Randy Quaid (@RandyRRQuaid) November 13, 2020
More to the point, Dean's indignation with self-congratulatory politicians manages to ignore the most egomaniacal self-promoter that ever occupied the White House. Trump spends the majority of his public addresses, and his Twitter comments, shamelessly lavishing praise on himself. And he speaks in hyperbolic tones wherein everything he does is the "greatest" of whatever he happens to be talking about at the moment.
Specifically regarding COVID-19, Trump regularly insists that he has performed with unimaginable perfection that no other human being could have achieved. Never mind the 260,000 fatalities and more than 1.2 million infected, many contracting disabilities that are permanent.
As if to validate the point, Trump held a "press conference" Tuesday morning that lasted all of 45 seconds and wherein he took no questions. He just took credit for recent advances with coronavirus vaccines (which some Fox News bootlickers want to name for him) and then bragged about the stock market. Of course, the vaccines were developed without any help from Trump. And the stock market's rise – 3,000 points since election day – could just as easily be attributed to the nation's collective relief due to Biden's victory.
Dean and Fox News have a glaring blind spot that approaches the scale of a black hole. They can't see that Trump suffers from a dangerous form of malignant narcissism. His sociopathic tendencies threaten the nation and the world. But they will always find a way to ignore the obvious and find fault with Trump's critics. That is, after all, their job. And what's truly pitiful is that they do it so poorly.
Here is the video of Cuomo receiving the Founder's Award at the Emmys, with guest appearances by real celebrities like Robert De Niro, Rosie Perez, Billy Crystal, and Ben Stiller.

More Proof that Fox News is Not News: Zero Emmys for News and Documentaries
Posted by Mark NC on October 2, 2018 at 10:59 am. NO Comments :
The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) announced this year's winners of the 39th Annual News and Documentary Emmys on Tuesday morning. The honorees represent a diverse array of journalistic excellence as produced by a variety of news organizations from across the television landscape. However, there is one prominent player that was left out of the party this year, as it has been in previous years.
Fox News received a total of zero emmys for their "news" programming. That's at least partially due to the fact that they received zero nominations. For a national network with the word "news" in their name, and that purports to be "real news," this is an embarrassing snub. And the announcement by the Academy hinted at what might be part of the problem:
"It is more important than ever that we recognize and defend our peers' integrity, clarity, and dedication to the First Amendment's protected mandate," said Adam Sharp, Interim-President & CEO, NATAS. "This year's nominees are shining examples of that ethic. Their stories took us to the front lines of war and disaster, cast light into hidden corners of government and the corporate boardroom, and revealed both the outermost reaches of space and the innermost complexities of the human body."
Indeed. The Academy recognizes its obligation to stand up for the Constitution when the President and his minions denigrate it. And it's clear that the State TV Network (aka Fox News) that embraces Donald Trump's aversion to the free press, and repeatedly describes it in Stalinist terms as "the enemy of the people," might not be in the best position to produce credible journalism. For the most part Fox News is a mouthpiece for Trump, airing all of his cult rallies uninterrupted, in their entirety, despite having no news value whatsoever. And their regular programming is a swamp of rightist propaganda delivered by hate mongering cretins.
The top three winners of news Emmys were PBS, CBS, and HBO. But every national broadcast and cable organization (except Fox) also walked away with statuettes, including ABC, NBC, CNN, and MSNBC. Even the "failing" New York Times won an Emmy for its coverage of the Las Vegas Massacre.
This is further evidence that Fox News is not producing legitimate journalism, and they are not respected by their peers in the profession. They are a brazenly biased outlet for Republican dogma and they contribute nothing to the American people in terms of reliable information or analysis. On the other hand, if you're looking for high-pitched ranting, partisan talking points, easily refuted lies, reality TV theatrics, and viscous, although infantile, insults aimed at the majority of the American populace, Fox News may be just the right channel for you.
Fox News Wants You to Believe That Trump-Bashing Killed the Emmys – It Didn't
Posted by Mark NC on September 18, 2017 at 3:34 pm. 1 Comments :
The preliminary Nielsen ratings for the 69th Primetime Emmy Awards broadcast are in and they aren't particularly good. The program drew about 11.2 million viewers, which is down slightly from last year's show. But leave it to Fox News to turn this minor slippage into a political catastrophe caused by the relentless liberalism of Hollywood elites.
An op-ed on the Fox News website trumpeted the ratings results with a speculative headline asking "Emmys ratings crater; Trump-bashing to blame?" The argument presented by Fox's Brian Flood was that criticism of Donald Trump sunk the broadcast to new lows. He writes that:
"It looks like the 69th annual Emmy Awards are heading into sub-basement territory in terms of ratings after host Stephen Colbert spent much of Sunday's event attacking President Trump. It turns out American viewers may not have been as into Trump bashing as Hollywood would like them to be."
For the record, host Stephen Colbert didn't spend much of the night attacking Trump. In all he spent less than three minutes out of a three hour program. But the real absurdity of this analysis is that it proposes something that's impossible. Fox News thinks that viewers chose not to watch the program based on their clairvoyant observation of the Trump-bashing before it even began. Obviously, without such ESP skills they would not have known not to tune in.
In fact, the Emmy broadcast has been scoring lower numbers for several years. Trump wasn't president when the ratings began a falling trend. The reasons knowledgeable people attribute to the decline are that television doesn't have the popular appeal of the Oscars and the Grammys. What's more, many of the winning programs are now airing on services like Netflix and Hulu that have fewer viewers than broadcast TV. Consequently, the stars are not as familiar or compelling. And airing against Sunday Night Football didn't help either.
That didn't stop Fox News from setting up their biased perspective and interviewing political partisans to support it. Flood first sought the opinion of Dan Gainor of the ultra-conservative Media Research Center. Predictably, Gainor slammed the event as "a Hollywood bubble show." He further castigated television's creative community as out-of-touch with America and unqualified to express an opinion. That's a point of view that disappears from right-wingers when the TV personality is one of theirs. Case in point: Donald Trump (or Ronald Reagan, Ted Nugent, Clint Eastwood, Scott Baio, etc.).
The argument that Americans might have tuned out the Emmys because they objected to jokes about Trump also fails logically. Trump is currently sitting on record low ratings himself. And that's from the American people, not a select groups of show business professionals. With his approval numbers wallowing in the mid-thirties, it's unlikely that the program lost many viewers who were loyal to Trump. If anything, the fact that most Americans are repulsed and embarrassed by him might have drawn in a bigger audience. There is substantial appetite in the country for the Trump-bashing that Fox News is lamenting. An example of that is the fact that Colbert has become the top rated late night talk show host largely due to his nightly mockery of the President.
The program did feature some sharp jabs at Trump's expense. Veep's Julia Louis Dreyfus noted that her show had considered an impeachment plot line, but abandoned it because they were worried that "someone else" might beat them to it. Alec Baldwin, who's portrayal of Trump on Saturday Night Live won him an Emmy, consoled Trump by giving him partial credit for an award he never won himself. But the most cutting comedy came from the reunited stars of 9-to-5 who said:
Jane Fonda: Back in 1980 in that movie, we refused to be controlled by a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot.
Lily Tomlin: And in 2017, we still refuse to be controlled by a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot.
Those are the sort of comments that Fox News and their conservative disciples regard as intolerable attacks against their White House Messiah. And for some reason they get away with calling liberals "snowflakes" for being too sensitive. Yet it doesn't bother them when Trump himself posts tweets that show him assaulting Hillary Clinton. Apparently joking about physically attacking women is perfectly acceptable to these Deplorables. But Fox News finds it necessary to write op-eds that lie about the Emmys just because they can't handle a few harmless jokes.
Stiffed: No Emmy Nominations For Fox News – Again
Posted by Mark NC on July 22, 2015 at 3:23 pm. 22 Comments :
The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences just announced their nominees for the 36th Annual News and Documentary Emmy Awards. Among those honored by the Academy are PBS with 47 nominations, CBS with 44, ABC with 17, NBC with 14, CNN with 10, and MSNBC with 2. The only major television news broadcaster that came away empty-handed was Fox News.
The easy explanation for this rejection is that Fox is not actually in the news business. They are a thinly disguised tabloid entertainment outlet with a mission to advance a right-wing agenda and demean Democrats and liberals. It is a network that is filled with fiction, drama, scandal, soap opera, soft-porn, and a prodigious amount of unintentional comedy. Earlier this year Fox News CEO Roger Ailes admitted that his business model is geared toward entertainment saying that he doesn't regard CNN or MSNBC as rivals and that "We're competing with TNT and USA and ESPN."
However, the embarrassing failure to be recognized for even a single program is rooted in a much deeper problem for Fox. They are not simply failing to offer programming that is deserving of praise from their "peers," they are purposefully producing stories that are false and serve only to malign their ideological adversaries.
A conveniently timed example of this is the Planned Parenthood story Fox is currently hyping. It involves a video that has already been repudiated by independent analysts as grossly distorted and unrepresentative of the facts. Nevertheless, Fox is repeatedly airing segments that go into some length disparaging Planned Parenthood without offering any time for rebuttal by the organization.
News Corpse Presents: The ALL NEW 2nd volume of
This is typical of the phony fare that Fox broadcasts. They obsess over fake scandals like Benghazi, or Jade Helm 15, or Obama phones, or death panels (which they recently revived), and on and on. They combine relentless hostility toward liberals with obsequious fawning over Republicans. It is their brazen unprofessional and unethical brand of journalism that best explains why they are passed over for awards from actual news professionals year after year.
Fox News Gets No Emmys For News (Again). Maybe Reporting Some News Would Help
Posted by Mark NC on October 1, 2014 at 12:17 pm. 10 Comments :
Today much of the electronic journalism world will be talking about the television ratings for the just-concluded third quarter of 2014. As expected, Fox News topped the cable news category, as it has for several years. Also, as expected, Fox will hype the crap out of this non-newsworthy information that is only an affirmation of Fox's ability to herd all of the conservative viewers/cattle into their cable corral.
To put this news in perspective, earlier this year Fox News posted their worst ratings in thirteen years. So their achievement spotlighted in this report is that they are now slightly higher than their worst showing in thirteen years. They must be so proud.
However, there was another less noticed announcement today that has far more significance. The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences released the recipients of the Emmys for news and documentaries. And the winners were: PBS with eleven Emmys; CBS News won ten; ABC News won three; NBC News and the BBC each got two; and CNN and Al Jazeera America both received one Emmy.
Conspicuously missing from that list was Fox "News." Or perhaps the real surprise would be if they had actually won an Emmy. Fox has been stiffed by the Academy since their launch in 1996. That is largely due to the fact that Fox doesn't broadcast any news. They are strictly an entertainment network that is filled with fiction, drama, scandal, soap opera, soft-porn, and a prodigious amount of unintentional comedy. What's more, their entertainment projects are slanted heavily in favor of the Republican right for whom Fox serves as a PR agency. For instance, see if you can find a pattern in these special "Fox News Reporting" investigations:
Benghazi: The Truth Behind the Smokescreen.
Benghazi: White House Cover-Up Revealed?
13 Hours In Benghazi.
Charles Krauthammer: A Life That Matters.
The Great Food Stamp Binge.
Behind the Obama Breakdown.
Surrendering America.
Behind Obama's Green Agenda.
Live Free Or Die: Obamacare In New Hampshire.
Those are just a few of the blatant attack pieces produced by Fox to smear the Obama administration. They were laden with rumor, innuendo, unsubstantiated allegations, and outright lies, that never resulted in any noteworthy revelation. Like all of Fox's scandal mongering, they went nowhere because there were no facts to support their made-up premises. Is it any wonder why Fox can't snag an Emmy?
A few years ago, in an impudent rant, Fox publicly stated that they were refusing to compete in the Emmy contest, accusing the Academy of being biased against them. However, in order to take that complaint seriously, you would have to believe that all of their peers in the business were biased, because it is they who vote. The Academy merely tabulates the votes. So Fox is admitting that their own colleagues have no respect for them as journalists. Hence, they took their deflated ball and went running home whining "We don't want your crummy Emmy anyway." So there.
Shameless self-promotion…

What The News Emmys Tell Us About The News
Posted by Mark NC on September 22, 2009 at 11:49 am. NO Comments :
The 30th Annual Emmy awards for News and Documentaries were announced last night. While I'm sure the winners are all grateful for the recognition, and many are respectable productions, there is much to learn from who did NOT win.
Emmys awarded to Cable News Networks:
Fox News – 0
MSNBC – 0
CNN – 1
Now, I don't think anyone would have expected Fox to win an award for news. The Academy probably stipulates that any recipient for a news award has to actually produce news programming. And MSNBC hasn't really gone out of its way to produce extraordinary programs either, though their cousins at NBC came in third in the trophy stakes, following PBS and CBS. It's somewhat interesting that the two lowest rated networks took home the most awards.
But there is something disconcerting about the fact that the 24 hour networks devoted exclusively to news performed so dismally. The single Emmy amongst them (CNN) was for election night coverage. It seems to me that if you have a network that specializes in the production of a single genre of programming, you ought to be able to deliver some that deserves the recognition of your peers. All of the other winners were employed by networks for whom news was just a small part of their schedule.
If the cable news networks can't deliver product that achieves a level of excellence worthy of an award or two, then maybe they are in the wrong business.
Emmy News: Nominations – PBS 41 / Fox News 0
Posted by Mark NC on July 14, 2009 at 5:57 pm. 1 Comments :
The Emmy nominations for News and Documentaries were released today by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. PBS scored the lion's share with 41 nominations, including two more for Bill Moyers, who has won more than 30 Emmys already. CBS was a distant second with 23. One notable name missing from the list of honorees is the #1 cable news network in the country, Fox News. There are two principle reasons for the absence of Fox News.
First, Fox claims to have declined to participate because they believe that the Emmys are biased against them. That's a rather piddling complaint that, more than anything, exposes their self-centered pettiness with an attitude that recalls a school child taking the ball and going home.
The more likely reason for their Emmy snub is that Fox is not actually a news network and, knowing this, they are acknowledging that nominations will not be forthcoming. I suspect that they are preparing to submit their programming for Emmys in the drama and, perhaps, comedy categories, where they have a better chance of being recognized. Of course then their other fictional fare, like "24" and "The Simpsons" will have to compete against the far more flagrant fiction produced by Fox News. Whatever will they do?
Well, we can expect Bill O'Reilly to issue a blistering condemnation of the Academy shortly. He did the same thing when the Peabodys snubbed him (again), despite honoring Moyers and Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert on multiple occasions. What does it say when a comedy network's fake news programs receive more plaudits from their journalism "peers" than a network that pretends to be a bona fide news enterprise? And furthermore, what does it say about the viewers of a so-called news network that is held in such ill repute by other news professionals?
Amongst the Emmy hopefuls is David Barstow, the New York Times reporter who wrote Message Machine. This article, which has already won a Pulitzer Prize and the New York Press Club's Golden Keyboard, described how the Pentagon in the Bush administration conspired to train and deploy former military personnel to spread propaganda in support of the war in Iraq. And if that weren't bad enough, the program also permitted them to use their high profile media platform to enrich themselves and the defense contractors to whom they were attached.
Despite the acclaim the article has received, Barstow has still yet to be invited to tell this important story in any conventional media venue. The only in-depth broadcast interview was conducted by Amy Goodman of Democracy Now. This may be the most egregious example of a heralded, Pulitzer caliber investigation being so brazenly suppressed. The obvious explanation is that the media organizations that have actively blackballed the story are also the subjects of it. They are the news enterprises employing the compromised Pentagon Pundits, and they have a vested interest in preventing the truth from getting out.
Now that the report has been awarded another honor, will Barstow's phone start to ring? Will the media pay attention to what may be the worst instance of propaganda executed by the U.S. government against its own people? At the very least, MSNBC has a special obligation to pursue this story. They have a contractual relationship with the New York Times, and their own John Harwood is a frequent guest on both MSNBC and CNBC. Why on earth wouldn't the Times be lobbying to promote a story by their own Pulitzer award winning reporter who has now been nominated for an Emmy?

Sally Field's Emmy Speech Uncensored
Posted by Mark NC on September 17, 2007 at 9:50 am. 2 Comments :
In accepting her Emmy award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her role as the matriarch in "Brothers and Sisters", Sally Field delivered an impassioned tribute to mothers everywhere in a message that spoke of world peace.
Unfortunately, it was too much for the censors at Fox who cut Field's comments at a critical point.
The video above is from the Canadian broadcast that aired the speech unedited. The nannies at Fox snipped the remarks for U.S. viewers as Field said, "If mothers ruled the world, there wouldn't be any…" The expunged ending of the sentence was, "god-damned wars in the first place." Was it because Fox thinks that Americans are just too fragile to be exposed to such fiery language? Was it because they were seeking to suppress legitimate dissent in a public forum? Tom O'Neil at the Los Angeles Times reports that it may not have been a matter of shielding the network from liability for broadcasting an obscenity:
"Technically, Field's censored words are not profane. A 2004 FCC ruling specifically stated no objection to the use of "god damn" on TV when making a judgment on the uproar over Bono swearing at the Golden Globes in 2003 where he used more colorful language."
Backstage, Field spoke with reporters and responded to the controversy that was already swirling:
"I have no comment other than, 'Oh, well.' I said what I wanted to say. I wanted to pay homage to the mothers of the world. And I very, very seriously think that if mothers ruled the world we wouldn't be sending our children off to be slaughtered." […] "If they bleep it, oh, well. I'll just say it somewhere else."
This is the second instance of Emmy censorship this season, following Kathy Griffin's remarks a night earlier when, mocking award winners who give credit to God for their victory, Griffin said that, "…no one had less to do with this award than Jesus." Isn't it interesting that in both occurrences of a clampdown on free speech, a reference to God was a key factor?

Tristan is a freshman Musical Theatre major at Ithaca College in Ithaca, NY. Although he looks twelve in his profile picture, Tristan just turned nineteen, still making him the baby of The Turf family. But don't let his youthful age deceive you, Tristan has been a sports fan since the age of two, when he'd watch the "ankees" with his grandpa (he didn't find out they were called the Yankees until he was six). While you were playing Pokemon and watching Dragon Ball Z as a kid, Tristan was collecting baseball cards and watching ESPN, hanging onto every word like it was a changeup right over the plate. Originally based out of Syracuse, NY, Tristan is a huge New York sports fan (Syracuse/Yankees/Giants) and follows his teams religiously. When he's not doing time steps or belting in a practice room, you can find Tristan secretly watching sporting events on his phone during rehearsal.

Molal Solution
/definition/789/molal-solution
Published: June 9, 2014 | Updated: December 4, 2018
Definition - What does Molal Solution mean?
A molal solution is a solution that contains 1 molecular weight of solute in a kilogram of solvent. It is the strength or concentration of a solution, especially the amount of dissolved substance in a given volume of solvent. It is a concentration of a solution expressed in moles or molality (m).
Because volume is not part of the molality equation, molality is independent of temperature. Using molalities rather than molarities for lab experiments keeps the results within a closer range.
In the field of electrochemistry and metal corrosion, molality and molarity are applied as concentration units.
Corrosionpedia explains Molal Solution
A solution obtained by dissolving one gram of the solute in 1000 grams of solvent is known as a 1 molal solution. For example, when 60 g of NaOH are dissolved in 1000 g of solvent, the solution contains 1.5 moles of solute in 1 kg of solvent. Therefore, the molality is 1.5.
The factors needed to calculate molality are moles of solute and the mass of solvent in kilograms. The SI unit for molality is mol/kg. A solution with a molality of 3 mol/kg is often described as "3 molal" or "3 m."
The primary advantage of using molality to specify concentration is that unlike its volume, the mass of the solvent does not change with changes of temperature or pressure; molality remains constant under changing environment conditions. Molality, like mole fraction, is used in applications dealing with certain physical properties of solutions.
As the molality changes, it affects the boiling point and freezing point (also known as the melting point) of the solution. A higher molality increases the boiling point and decreases the freezing point of the solution. As molality is a more accurate measure of solutes in solution in dynamic conditions, it is often used in comparing and determining colligative properties of solution.
Molality is a property of solutions. If the solvent is reactive, and one needs to know the stoichiometry between the solvent and the solute, knowing the molality can be very important. The mass-based nature of molality implies that it can be readily converted into a mass ratio.

The next catalyst for marijuana investors may come from an obvious place: Big Tobacco.
While alcoholic-beverage companies have been active in the marijuana industry, Big Tobacco curiously has not.
But new comments made by an Altria executive show that the company is evaluating opportunities in marijuana. Altria owns Phillip Morris USA, which makes Marlboro cigarettes. Before digging deeper into the logic of cigarette companies getting into marijuana, let's review marijuana stocks with the help of a chart.


Happy Birthday Jimmy. You were the best. Thank-you for all the great films you have given us to enjoy. TCM will have a day in August dedicated to James Cagney, one of the finest actors to ever grace the silver screen.
I've been a Cagney fan since I was 12 Years old.I even went to his funeral and also bid on some of his personal items at the Doyle gallery.He was the greatest actor ever to grace the silver screen. His versatility is unmatched by any actor in the history of the movies.
Remembering you today Jimmy, you are never forgotten, RIP.
One of my favorite actors of all time.When I saw Yankee Doodle Dandy on tv when I was a kid back in the 1950's I thought even then wow what a great movie! I always thought he was just a real gentleman and cool guy, No other like him.


A public outcry was heard when Kamryn Renfro was barred from attending school after she shaved her hair to support her friend battling cancer. Kamryn was said to be suspended because she had violated the dress code.
It started when her friend Delaney Clements lost her hair as a result of chemotherapy needed to help treat neuroblastoma. The girls have always had a special bond, so when Kamryn saw that her friend was being bullied because of her looks, she wanted to let Delaney know she wasn't alone.
But the school where Kamryn goes to, Caprock Academy, was not too thrilled after hearing the news.

Wall of Honor completed at Roundhouse, thanks to dedicated staff members
Jean Wilkens, left, and Tobi Greene are pictured in front of the Athletic Wall of Honor in the Marshalltown High School Roundhouse. The two spent many hours putting together the old photos of the all-state Bobcats, which have returned to the renovated Roundhouse.
MHS Athletic Wall of Honor
Finishing touches to the Athletic Wall of Honor in the Marshalltown High School Roundhouse have been made and a project months in the making has concluded.
That project was led by Jean Wilkens, concessions manager, with the help of concessions worker Tobi Greene.
Wilkens gathered the old photos of the all-state Bobcats in the past, sent the damaged ones to Stalzer Photography, put on new labels and was able to mix new photos with old on the new and improved Wall of Honor.
"It was a project that needed to be done," said Wilkens. " I think it looks nice."
So too does MHS Activities Director Rollie Ackerman. Due to the Roundhouse renovation, the all-state pictures went away for a time.
"People were hoping to see the pictures back up and when they went back up it brought back a lot of memories," Ackerman said. "There's that tradition of those photos being in the Roundhouse."
Ackerman said it was a very daunting task to take the stacks of old photos, many in broken frames, and make sense of the project moving forward.
"Jean and Tobi's efforts were invaluable," Ackerman said. "It wouldn't have happened this quickly without them."
Jean would also like to thank John Stalzer and Mackenzie Duncan from Stalzer Photography for donating their time to the project to help brush up and print out the photos that were damaged.
"They were awesome," Wilkens said.
Two more graphics were added to the project on May 17 by a sports graphics company to wrap up the project including a photo of the first-ever basketball game in the Roundhouse from February 12, 1966 and a graphic with the title "Marshalltown High School Athletic Wall of Honor."
A photo of the first ever basketball game played in the Roundhouse from 1966 was one of the final additions to the new and improved Wall of Honor.

Lilo Raymond was born in Frankfurt, but her family fled to the USA in 1938 to avoid persecution in Germany. She lives and works in New York.
Raymond was attracted at an early age to the lively art scene around Greenwich Village, New York, where she worked for many years as an artist's model. Her interest in photography did not awaken until the 1950s, when she studied under the photographer David Vestal. Raymond kept her commercial photography and her artistic projects apart. The latter are often based on still-life motifs and simple everyday objects that are portrayed in strong lighting that gives the images a veritably sculptural quality. An extensive book on her photography, Revealing Light, was published in 1989.

After Record Setting Performance, Loyola College Prep QB Jacob Lafitte Looks To Build On Momentum

After Record Setting Performance, Loyola…

by Andon Brabham
Jacob Lafitte, Senior Quarterback for Loyola College Prep in Shreveport, already achieved one of his goals for his senior campaign as he set several school records in a great performance against Logansport, tallying 372 yards in the win last Friday. Jacob had this to say about his dominant game, "I was pleased with how I played. I don't ever want to sit back and say that I had a perfect game, or the game of a lifetime, because I missed guys on multiple occasions, and had plays I wish I could have back."
Even if he downplays his personal game, Lafitte did not hesitate to praise his team and their help in his amazing, record-setting performance, saying, "As a team, I couldn't be happier with how we played offensively. I think we fought hard up front, had really good blocking from all our guys every play. We could definitely clean up a lot, but it was good having key players making big plays all night long on both sides of the ball!"
Jacob credits Kansas City Chiefs Quarterback Patrick Mahomes as his favorite NFL player and a player that he tries to model his game after. When asked about which parts of Mahomes' game he takes the most influence from, he credited Mahomes' ability to keep plays alive. "The biggest thing I have taken from him (Mahomes) is his ability to move in the pocket, escape the pocket when needed, and make big plays on the run. I watch how he keeps his eyes down the field at all times no matter what pressure he is under, and this makes for a lot of game changing plays."
Laffite showed this Mahomes-esque awareness in a play that he credits for getting his team going, "Tray Taylor had a 5 yard out early in the game and instead of staying in the pocket and throwing it away, I rolled to his side after seeing the safety come down, gave him the go signal, and he stopped on a dime, turned up the field, and I hit him over the top for out first score of the night, and that really got things going."
The 2020 All-District selection threw for 40 touchdowns, ran for 10 in his past two seasons, and is building on those accolades now in his senior year. Jacob is not only dominant on the football field, but in the weight room as well with stats of 235 in the bench press, 245 in the power clean, and 320 in the squat. He also boasts a 36 inch vertical and a 4.7/40.
When asked about his game plan and how he approached the game, Lafitte said, "Going into any game we play, there are obviously plays that we know will be good against whatever defense we are playing that week. We knew that we would have success up the middle and with plays where we read the edge rusher. We tried to make sure that no matter what they chose to do, it would be wrong." Lafitte's athleticism makes him dangerous both through the air and on the ground, but his mentality and work ethic is what really sets him apart from other quarterbacks.
Jacob also talked about his confidence and work ethic entering the game, "I couldn't be anymore confident in myself and my team. All I try to do every week is be a good example for my teammates and put everything on the line every play. I told coaches, family members, and friends before the season that I was going to play every snap this season like my life depended on it, and I will not break that promise," Laffite said, "Whether it is on offense, defense, or special teams, nobody is going to work harder or play harder than me. I just feel I owe it to my parents, teammates, coaches, and myself."
Jacob looks to build on this performance against Northwood this week and continue to lead his Loyola College Prep teammates this season.
