This perceptive celebration of a resilient immigrant mother of two working as a house cleaner in Lyon, cleaned up at the 2016 César Awards, taking prizes for Best Film, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Most Promising Actress for bright newcomer Zita Hanrot. Adopting a grounded, episodic approach, the film focuses on the challenges of cultural assimilation as seen through the eyes of two generations of women. Fatima is a divorcee holding down several menial jobs. She emigrated from North Africa at 20, but 20 years later, she struggles to speak enough French to communicate with her own daughters Nesrine and Souad, whose lives she is tirelessly devoted to improving. Nesrine is trying to strike a balance between cramming for her pre-med exams and dating, while the younger and more rebellious Souad is testing her limits and her mother's patience by acting out. Facing veiled racism, suspicion, awkwardness, and shame on a daily basis, Fatima discovers that the perfect outlet for her frustrations is also the best way to tell her daughters how she really feels.

Books:Best-Sellers 21621 https://www.warplane.com/images/Products/21621.jpg World War II marked the end of an era; fighter pilots still flew by the seat of their pants, and George Loving recaptures the exhilarating world of aerial combat in all its stark terror and fiery glory. His first fighter was the famed Spitfire, hero of the Battle of Britain. By 1943, however, it was obsolescent and did not match up well against the first-line German Messerschmitts and Focke-Wulfs. Yet Loving survived 101 combat missions flying the Spitfire. In the spring of 1944, Loving's 31st Fighter Group started flying P-51 Mustangs and was transferred to the new Fifteenth Air Force to escort heavy-bomber formations on long-range strategic strikes across southern Europe, including southeastern Germany. In the flak-filled skies over Ploesti, Vienna, Bucharest, Munich, and Stuttgart, where a number of the war's fiercest air battles took place, Lieutenant Loving flew head-to-head against some of the Luftwaffe's top fighter aces.
By the time George Loving completed his 151st, and final, combat mission on August 21, 1944, he had risen from a lowly second lieutenant and untested wingman to captain, group leader, and Mustang ace. Loving's gripping account captures the savage action he experienced in all its intensity.
Price: $9.99 CAD each

'Vida' Director Joins Universal's 'Talent Show' From 'The Hate U Give' Producers (EXCLUSIVE)
By Justin Kroll

'Wishbone' Film Adaptation in the Works From Mattel and Universal With Peter Farrelly Producing 3 years ago
'The Old Guard's' Gina Prince-Bythewood to Direct 'Woman King' Starring Viola Davis (EXCLUSIVE) 3 years ago
Sony and SK Global Land Rights to 'Crazy Rich Asians' Author's New Novel 'Sex and Vanity' (EXCLUSIVE) 3 years ago
Courtesy of Gandja Monteiro
Gandja Monteiro, who has gained recognition for her work on Starz's series "Vida," will direct Universal Pictures' "Talent Show," based on an idea by Duane Adler from the "Step Up" franchise.
Lena Waithe wrote the latest version of the script, with an earlier version by Adler. "The Hate U Give" producers George Tillman Jr. and Robert Teitel will produce for their State Street Pictures. Waithe will executive produce.
The pic tells the story of a failed songwriter who returns home to Chicago to lead a group of at-risk youth in their annual talent show. Senior executive vice president of production Erik Baiers and senior vice president of production Sara Scott will oversee the project on behalf of Universal. Jay Marcus, who runs development at State Street Pictures, will oversee on behalf of the company.
This marks another strong move by Universal and studio chairman Donna Langley in diversifying its pool of directors with more female filmmakers. Universal recently tapped "Black Panther" DP Rachel Morrison to make her directorial debut on "Flint Strong," as well Stella Meghie, who recently started filming "The Photograph" for the studio.
It also marks Monteiro's first movie for a major studio, having mainly worked on short films in addition to "Vida." She was a participant in the 2018 Universal Directors Initiative, and is a graduate of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, AFI's Directing Workshop for Women and Fox's Directing Lab for Women. She's also worked on commercials and branded content for companies including Nike, Adidas, Google, Coca-Cola, AT&T, Chevrolet and Smirnoff, and music videos for rappers like Pusha-T.
She is repped by Verve, LBI Entertainment and Morris Yorn. Waithe is repped by WME, the Mission Entertainment and Del, Shaw, Moonves, Tanaka, Finkelstein & Lezcano. Tillman Jr. and Teitel are represented by CAA and Ziffren Brittenham LLP. Tillman Jr. is also represented by Gotham.

(Washington, D.C.) – Today, the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste (CCAGW) sent a letter to the House of Representatives, urging them to support H.R. 6246, the Puerto Rico Admission Act of 2018.
"The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico has been an unincorporated territory of the United States for nearly 120 years. While local state governance for Puerto Rico was approved by Congress in 1952, the island continues to lag behind states and international competitors. For the last 12 years, Puerto Rico has been stuck in a deep recession that hit a precipice in May 2017 when the commonwealth filed for the largest U.S. municipal bankruptcy in history. Even before the devastation wrought by Hurricane Maria, the territory's debt stood at $73 billion and unemployment was 11.5 percent.
"In order to fix Puerto Rico's unstable fiscal course, efforts should be made to clear a path to statehood. Positioning Puerto Rico to become a state would provide uniform laws, tax policies, and regulations that could unleash the commonwealth's economic potential and allow it to compete more effectively both domestically and globally. Creating a more level playing field would encourage business investment, improve its ability to react and recover from natural disasters, and reverse the trend of migration from the island that has put a budgetary strain on mainland states like Florida.
"H.R. 6246 provides the pathway to stability and statehood for Puerto Rico. This legislation would establish a bipartisan task force to identify laws that need to be reformed for the territory to become a state by 2021 and recommend economic measures that Puerto Rico should adhere to in its transition to statehood.

Commemoration details The Lone Pine Memorial (Panel 8), Gallipoli, Turkey
The Lone Pine Memorial, situated in the Lone Pine Cemetery at Anzac, is the main Australian Memorial on Gallipoli, and one of four memorials to men of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force. Designed by Sir John Burnet, the principal architect of the Gallipoli cemeteries, it is a thick tapering pylon 14.3 metres high on a square base 12.98 metres wide. It is constructed from limestone mined at Ilgardere in Turkey.
The Memorial commemorates the 3268 Australians and 456 New Zealanders who have no known grave and the 960 Australians and 252 New Zealanders who were buried at sea after evacuation through wounds or disease. The names of New Zealanders commemorated are inscribed on stone panels mounted on the south and north sides of the pylon, while those of the Australians are listed on a long wall of panels in front of the pylon and to either side. Names are arranged by unit and rank.
The Memorial stands over the centre of the Turkish trenches and tunnels which were the scene of heavy fighting during the August offensive. Most cemeteries on Gallipoli contain relatively few marked graves, and the majority of Australians killed on Gallipoli are commemorated here.

A rustic dinner plate made out of dark stoneware clay, hand formed, hand carved and glazed in a glossy white.
The iron flecks throughout the clay peeps through the white glaze in its final firing. Variations in the amount of flecks that show through will vary with every batch.
Fired twice to extremely high temperatures.
Slight variations of one piece to another give hand-crafted works the intrinsic uniqueness that makes them all the more lovable.


Based on it's current stock price of around 8 bucks, WSM has an Enterprise Value (stock market capitalization plus all outstanding debt, minus cash) of about $840 million. We thought it might fun to figure out what else could be bought for the same price as the entire Williams-Sonoma chain (which includes Pottery Barn).
Mark Haines is the best in business. He comes off as completely natural and unpretentious, but can bring the gravitas when the situation calls for it.
These are the days when you either need to have a 20 year time frame or a 20 minute time frame, and either can be extremely profitable. In either case, owning the sector is going to give you all you need in terms of volatility, so leave the stock picking to the masochists.
When people who are starting to get involved in the markets, whether as professionals or investors, ask me what books I suggest they read, this is the first one I always mention.
Reminiscences of a Stock Operator is a quasi-biography of trader Jesse Livermore, who went from early 1900's bucket shop speculator to master trader, having won and lost large fortunes along the way in everything from stocks to cotton futures.

Latonya, a disabled senior, fell behind on her rent after spending a week in the hospital for a needed surgery. She called THRIVE while still in her hospital bed because she was afraid she wouldn't have a place to return to. After all, this apartment had been her home for over 6 years and she had consistently paid her rent on time each month for years. After getting out of the hospital, Latonya met with a financial coach who provided relevant financial tools. She was approved for rent assistance and was able to fill up a grocery cart with much-needed food from the pantry. Latonya vows to never be in the position of needing assistance again. She believes that without help from THRIVE, she could well be homeless. She said "THRIVE is a good place to be."
Jill contacted THRIVE when she was two months behind on her rent. She is disabled and has limited income. She fell behind in her payments because her prescription medication cost jumped to $325 a month, and her income was just over the line where Medicaid wouldn't pay. Jill has a 10-year old daughter and is not receiving family support. As a result of these hardships, she started accruing late fees and it became impossible for her to catch up. THRIVE helped her by helping her catch up on her past due rent so she can start over with a zero balance. With help from a THRIVE financial coach, Jean has created a budget, and knows if she follows it she will be able to make it. A few weeks after assistance was provided, THRIVE a note that said "Thank you for being here for ordinary people like me that have few resources."
Adele's life was recently upended when her daughter and her four children recently moved in with her. What used to be a comfortable two bedroom apartment for two was now a cramped apartment for seven, with ages ranging from four years-old to adult. Adele said her faith keeps her going, and she sought out help from THRIVE and other community services.
What she loved about THRIVE is the many resources for assistance it has available. It was able to help her daughter get a much-needed birth certificate and other necessary support. Adele also loved the variety of food she found in the pantry. While she is struggling to pay her bills, she can shop at the pantry every 30 days which she says is a Godsend. THRIVE helped pay her electric bill so that her electricity could be turned back on. She also took advantage of the financial coaching service THRIVE offers as she hopes to improve her credit rating. Adele says she never gives up, and the Lord and THRIVE have kept her going.
Thomas faced a tough time. He had been employed and managed just fine at his home in Hampton. He never needed assistance with bill paying until he was laid off from his job as a painter in March 2020. A single father with three minor children, Thomas had rent to pay and with no money coming in, he knew he would need help. He was faced with Covid-19 restrictions and his unemployment compensation claim was pending. He contacted social services and was told about THRIVE Peninsula.
"Knowing about THRIVE gave me some hope, and the staff and volunteers were there for me. Everyone was very helpful, very respectful, caring and concerned about my situation. They offered me food for my family, helped me get my rent paid, and, most importantly, helped me move forward."
Thomas is now receiving his unemployment compensation, is once again managing well, and has had several job interviews. He hopes to be working again very soon. "(THRIVE) was there when I needed them the most."

Sooner than the Vietnam struggle, American highbrow existence rested very easily on shared assumptions and infrequently universal beliefs.

The experience of death and the much broader phenomenon of fear of death deeply affected the population. The survivors of the rebellions had to cope with the direct consequences of war. In the cities, public buildings, shops, and many private residences were destroyed, and trade was severely disrupted. In the countryside, mulberry trees, vital to silk production, were cut down, rice terraces were overgrown, and dikes and irrigation ditches were destroyed. As people fled the worst-affected areas, widespread depopulation was the most dramatic result.
Villages and towns were destroyed and the cultivated land all lay waste. White skeletons lay on the thorns.

Yay it's Easter and for me that means 11 days off! We have a ton of bank holidays over here in the UK including the royal wedding (I'm sure you haven't heard much about that lol) and I've taken a couple of days off in between them so I have a nice long stretch off.
1. See family – my cousins are coming to visit over the weekend so it will be nice to catch up with them.
2. Shopping – I want to find that elusive lipstick and get some more summery outfits.
3. Easter eggs – I can't not have a couple. I heart chocolate!
4. Writing and reading – I'd like to do some writing and tuck into some good books. I've brought a few in anticipation so I'm looking forward to getting into them.
5. Watch Doctor Who – the new series starts tomorrow yay. This is one of my favourite shows so I'm super excited to see it.
6. Watch films – Harry Potter, Iron Man 2 and Knight and Day on DVD. Again brought in anticipation of the break, looking forward to watching them. I've seen HP at the cinema but haven't seen the others. I enjoyed the first Iron Man film so I hope the sequel is good.
7. Try and be a bit healthy – I want to eat more fruit and do some walking whilst I'm off. As the weather is looking nice this should be easy to do.
8. Sunbathe – the heat wave is supposed to continue so hopefully I can look a little bronzed by the end of the break.
9. Get my nails done – I get acrylic tips in french polish style done every couple of weeks and will get them done today so they're looking good.
I shall also make an effort to keep posting and reading!
1) watch S&TC2. And buy the SATC boxset 1-6.
3) I've got relatives coming over, anyway. i.e. my sis-in-law and my bro. We may watch SATC or Harry Potter at one point.
10) Get lots of sleep!!!!
and, that's it. I'm normally v. lazy when it comes to holidays!
Sounds like a great break ahead of you! I plan to enjoy some R&R and catch up on some writing projects I have going. Got five days off in total so should be able to be quite productive!
Have a lovely time off, good luck with the writing!
I've got Lauren Oliver – Before I Fall, Cassandra Clare – City of Fallen Angels and Bree Des Spain – The Lost Saint. I'm also finishing off Catcher in the Rye first. You should def give Dr Who a watch!
Have a great break! It sounds like you've got some awesome plans! 🙂 Enjoy!
Ooh, I am SO JEALOUS! We don't get any time off in time for the holiday. But I'm sure I will cram in catching up on my sleep, writing, and eating a ton on Easter! Have a great break!
Lucky you having so much time off…most people here in the states just get today off…but my company doesn't even give that. Enjoy your vacation!!
That sure is a long break! Enjoy!
You're lucky; I only get four days off, including this weekend.
Eleven days? Now that's just down right fabulous. I hope you have a great time girl. I personally don't have a list, I'm more of a do whatever kind of gal, I used to have lists, until I realized I was just wasting paper (except for grocery lists).
Children, Easter Egg hunts, and parents of my ex husband on Sunday. Take that!
Ooh Easter egg hunt sounds fun!
I am with you on all except 2 and 7.
Dr Who episode taped as garden too delicious to miss.
I thought it was pretty good but confusing and I hate cliffhangers! Hopefully part 2 will be better!


Zara is one of the best places to buy basics and Handbags on the high street and so i popped in there last week to pick up some new pieces to up date my wardrobe for springs. I am sorry if you are looking for bring colours as i simply wanted to picked up some more neutral tops. I never used to wear jeans that often but now that i live in my Topshop Joni Jeans (best jeans ever), i have needed to buy more and more tops to wear with them.
The good thing about Zara is that the tops are well made and made to last longer than say Primark but they were also all inexpensive costing around £15 each if not less. My fave is the stripped one and the plain white one as they are so soft to touch and the just flow really well on the body.
I always used to buy big handbags and as such i am always carrying way more than i need and my shoulders and back are finally fighting back and its too painful to carry them around . I decided to listen and buy smaller bags in the hopes that my back will get better. How lovely is this gorgeous pale pink ( yay some colour ) and then i will be using my many fabric totes to carry the books (damn you law school) :). I do love the bag though and i can see it fast becoming a favourite.
Happy Mothers day and i will talk to y'all soon.

Effect of Sliver Preparation on Fibre Disorder at Rotor Groove.
•On the basis of studies carried out , the following conclusions can be drawn :-.
1.Fibre orientation at rotor groove is inferior to those in the feed sliver.
2.Proportion of the curved ends in the corresponding sliver & rotor groove ring decreases , while the coefficient of relative fibre parallelisation increases , with the increase of drawframe passages.
3. Mean fibre length at rotor groove increases with the increase of drawframe passages.
4. Better fibre straightening , but not much improvement in fibre parallelisation is achieved with the second drawframe passage.
5. Yarn tenacity increase with the introduction of the drawframe passages.

Monsanto's 2012 Chianti Classico Riserva 50 Vendemmie is one of the most pedigreed wines of the year. Deep and resonant in the glass, but not at all heavy, the 2012 possesses magnificent complexity to match what I can only describe as a regal expression of Sangiovese. There is a level of purity and nuance to the 2012 that is hard to describe with words but that is very much front and center. Moreover, I can't think of too many wines from any region anywhere in the world that offer this level of quality for the money. Readers will not want to miss this stellar Riserva from Monsanto. Can the 2012 Il Poggio be better? We'll know in two years' time.

Downton Abbey film reviews round-up: what the critics say
The Telegraph 10 September 2019
Jim Carter as Charles Carson in Downton Abbey - Digital / 35mm
Downton Abbey's much-anticipated cinematic adaptation has arrived and critics have had their say on Julian Fellowes' period drama.
The hugely popular TV series aired on ITV from 2010 to 2015 and followed the fortunes of the aristocratic Crawley family and their downstairs servants at a Yorkshire country estate.
The film kicks off in 1927, shortly before a royal visit to Downton Abbey by King George V and Queen Mary.
Many of the cast members from the original series have returned, including Dame Maggie Smith, Hugh Bonneville, Laura Carmichael, Jim Carter, Michelle Dockery and Elizabeth McGovern.
After the film's world premiere in London on Monday, the first reviews arrived. Critics are largely united in calling the film a decent, if unspectacular, adaptation.
Giving the film three stars, The Telegraph's Tim Robey wrote: "Upscaling the cosy charms of the series hasn't entirely worked, in that you couldn't say this comfortably belongs in a cinema at any stage. Watching it is like settling into a reupholstered armchair which still creaks in the same old places."
In a three-star review, the BBC's Caryn James described the film as "delightful fun", despite the plot being "obvious almost to the point of stupidity".
She wrote: "No matter. The movie is so sumptuous and enticing that it's possible to overlook its many cinematic flaws. It fulfils the longing not just for a lost age, but for a television show brought back to life."
The Sun's Grant Rollings also awarded Downton three stars.
He said: "It would be easy to criticise Fellowes for turning out what is essentially a two-hour long episode.
"But it was certainly wise not to send the Crawleys on holiday or to have them saving the world."
Continuing the theme of good-but-not great reviews, another three-star score came from Brian Viner, who was writing in the Daily Mail.
Viner said the film was "nothing more than an entire series in miniature" but reserved praise for the "lavish production values and meticulous period detail".
The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw also gave the film three stars out of five.
He said the "plots are rickety and the characterisation has the depth of a Franklin Mint plate", but conceded the overall film was "quite enjoyable".
The Hollywood Reporter said Downton is "satisfyingly sumptuous" and praised Dame Maggie's performance.
The film gave the veteran actress "a chance to pull some of her most beloved haughty expressions of indignation and bemusement", according to the reviewer.
While many reviews were generally positive, the New York Post's Johnny Oleksinski was scathing.
He gave the film one-and-a-half stars and said the film adaptation was "forced and unnecessary".
"Julian Fellowes would have been far better off writing another relaxed Christmas special to satisfy fans", Oleksinski wrote.
Downton Abbey is released in UK cinemas on September 13.

The Original Manuscript -As it was written in 1938 prior to publication, then fresh off the press in April of 1939, with its new title: "Alcoholics Anonymous"
A Guide to the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous -This copy clearly states on cover it was put out by AA of Greater Detroit. It's been said that the pamphlet was originally written and distributed by the Akron Group sometime in the 1940's.
FEW, IF ANY, men or women have completely fulfilled the aims of Alcoholics Anonymous without at least some grasp of the spiritual, or to use another term in it's broadest sense, religion. True, there have been some who have managed to keep sober simply by mechanical action. But a preponderance of evidence points out that until one has some spiritual conviction, and the more the better, he takes no joy in his sobriety.
This is a "lite" version adapted from The Anonymous Press Study Edition of Alcoholics Anonymous.
See: http://anonpress.org/store/. Please feel free to distribute or reproduce this index. "All that we ask is that you leave the index as it is here (including the header). This will allow us to keep suggested additions and corrections straight."
Manuscript of A.A. World History, 1985 -by Bob P.
This document is the first draft of the in-depth history of Alcoholics Anonymous as prepared by Bob P. The manuscript was rejected by the Trustees' Literature Committee and was not published. Bob P.'s book, "Manuscript of A.A. World History", rich in AA history, is made available from silkworth.net for historical and research purposes only.
A.A. Pamphlets History List -Here's a list of 'AA pamphlets'. Most all are Conference-approved or GSO service materials. Remember, Conference-approved translates into 'no earlier than 1951 when the Conference was formed'. AA did have and use pamphlets before that time which were published by individuals, groups, the Grapevine, our various central offices, as well as by GSO in New York. Some of these are listed at the end in the Pre Conference and Out of Print section.
How to Listen to God -This is a 3 page pamphlet written in the 1930's by John E. Batterson. John was a person friend of Dr. Bob, one of the co founders of Alcoholics Anonymous. This pamphlet was widely used and distributed in the early, very successful years of A.A. It gives simple, non denominational daily guidelines for how to find God and serve God, and find peace and fulfillment in the process.

Q: Detecting GO key on keyboard, and popping to top of nav stack I am trying to implement signup/login via a nav controller for my iphone app.
My issue is I need to detect the GO button and pop to the nav root.  Here is my code:
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField{
    NSLog(@"RETURN KEY HIT!");
    [textField resignFirstResponder];
    NSLog(@"email = %@", emailTextField.text);
    NSLog(@"pw = %@", passwordTextField.text);
    [navController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:TRUE];
    return YES;
}

GO does cause this method to be called, but the nav controller doesn't pop.  I'm not surprised as the method returns a BOOL so it's obviously not designed for this use.
So what is the correct way to handle detecting a GO and acting on it?
Thanks!

A: Did you try
[self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:TRUE];

A: simple.  as Yannick L suggested I had a null for my nav.  Duh :)

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by Mered4, Mar 1, 2015.
I've been designing some pretty interesting vessels lately to model in either Blender or Starmade. Some are mostly aesthetic builds, while others are more combat focused.
Most of the questions I find myself asking for combat vessel designs involve team size. Am I fighting with a bunch of friends against a 15 player fleet? Is this a fight between myself and some loner next to a planet? What if I'm on most servers, where factions can't really field more than five people at a time due to time zone differences and people actually having a life?
The answers to these questions usually lead me to the "hey, Starmade really needs balanced...." conclusion. The issue I've found with a lot of solutions to THAT problem is player count. Lots of folks don't want long ship battles (I still am befuddled by these people - that problem is literally 18 months old), while others are really tired of the one-shot kill mentality that pervades most fights between 5k and 50k mass. Still others really want big fleets, but their ideas fall flat when swinging around to the ship-ship combat. It would invalidate some ship builds UNLESS they had a fleet behind them. This isn't a bad thing in itself - I'm just not sure Starmade is built for that level of specialization.
That said, I'd like to put it to a poll. Let's see what the forum goers think of this. Where should we primarily focus the balance? Small fleet battles, 1v1 fighter duels, or massive engagements on an EVE-like scale? I'd love to hear your comments. This is one area where some opinions are quite murky, at least from what I've seen.
Please note I'm not necessarily counting drones into the ship count. The numbers should be taken as a loose count of the number of *capital ships* being flown into a fight. Or, if you like, those piloted by actual players.
You can't start balancing things when so many aren't even finished yet.
But we can think about how we will balance them when they are.
The way it is now, I feel like going in to the fight as a team already has an advantage over fighting alone (given equal mass, of course). This is good, in my eyes. Teamplay and working together are fun in interesting, and should be rewarded. I think combat is most interesting if all parties have roughly the same mass and the one with best ships design and strategy execution should be the one to win. Currently, it is kind of a game of luck, the winner is the one who hits his first sniper missile barrage. When the HP system is introduced and point-defence gets a buff, I think we already have a very interesting combat system going.


As I was about to start getting back into it, the cat attack happened, which delayed me again due to a wrist injury. This September I dusted my rifle off and finally started up again – shot 3 times at 25 meters over 3 Wednesday evenings, then went off to a 50 yards / 100 yards open air team shoot today.
I have to thank those who have helped me in all of my training from day 1 back in 2006, as it seems to have stuck. Thanks to my current club too, as in those three weeks I was back up to a reasonable standard. Still a bit of a way to go to get that 99 average I had two years ago, but really happy to have come back at the level I did. It's all about being positive, relaxed and comfortable that you know what you are doing without having to think too hard about it.
A big push came from my club team captain, who put me into a four man team shoot as soon as I was back shooting. The deep end is a real great place to snap the focus back on!
As it turned out the focus snapped in sharply. I felt good in myself – the kickboxing, boxing etc have tidied me up physically and mentally, so that side of things helped me out as I came back to shooting.
The competition was over 50 yards and 100 yards. Familiar faces mingled with new faces on the various teams that showed up to compete. There was slight drizzle and intermittent sunny patches on the range – which is one of the darkest ranges around, and not one of the easiest to shoot at due to the lay out. A good challenge then….
I started out on the 50yd range – A pair of sighters (if required) and 2 pairs of targets – 10 shots per pair. I scored a 95 and a 100, which I was happy enough with. The 95 was a bit low, but the ton made up for it.
The second set of targets were at the 100yd range – A sighter with 2 targets – 10 shots each. I scored 96 and 97, which once more left me in a good place.
When the final scores were posted I was surprised to see I was in the top 10 of all the shooters there (I think I was 6, but can't be certain). I was the top shot in our team (only a point or two separated the top three), so I came back with a Marsden "patch" prize – but to be honest, it was very close between us and could have gone either way.
As for the team placement… not so good. One of the team had a really bad day. Really bad. He has eye problems and is up for an operation – and he had trouble with his rifle sites. As such we were not destined to win the whole contest.
Had a forth shooter scored around the same as the rest of us, then by the look of the total scores, we could have won. Never mind – it's always a good shoot with good people and there is always next year. Hopefully a friend of mine (Jez), who has just started shooting and is showing a lot of promise, will be in the team for next year – and if that is the case the others had best watch out.


Take a short walk beyond the polished semi trucks and colorful canopies of the factory teams and you'll find yourself among the privateers of the sport. While they may not be recognized as the stars of Supercross and motocross, they are every bit as important to the success of the sport. Life as a privateer has never been easy, and while more new and talented faces are entering the sport every year, the number of paid rides hasn't increased much, if at all. Despite the numerous challenges a privateer must take on, they continue to show up each and every weekend at whatever cost.
With all of that in mind, we set out to cruise the privateer section of the pits and get familiar with some of the guys doing whatever it takes to race professionally. Although the day was plenty hectic, we managed to chat with five privateers and snap a few photos of their bikes before the action of the night got underway.
What is life like as a privateer?
We put this thing together in the last month and it's just been wide-open for me. I'm coordinating everything and once we hit the road it'll be a lot of traveling and driving. I've actually only ridden this race bike two times in the last month because I've been off the bike putting everything together. We're a little behind, but I think I'll get better each weekend.
What are your expectations for 2018 and how many races are you hoping to attend?
I want to be top 15. The 450 class is super stacked, so obviously it's good to just be in the main events every weekend, but if I can get around fifteenth or even top 10 that'd be great for me.
It's actually been really good. MMR has been helping me out. Everything's going really smooth this year and I've been spending a lot of time on the bike. Preparations started a little earlier than last year and it's been really solid. I'm really comfortable on the bike in general. I'm just excited.
Overall, during the day I want to qualify in those low 20's and put myself into main events. I was close a couple of times last year, but luck just wasn't on our side in some races and I had an injury that held me back. Coming into this year, we've made improvements to the bike and I think I really can be a main event contender.
It's not easy, it'd sure be a lot easier being a factory guy, but you have to work with what you've got. I'll be in California for the whole month before the series heads East. That should be good.
I'm coming off of a really big injury last year. I messed up my back and currently have rods and everything like that. I was asked if I wanted to do some rounds out West on the 450, so I'm going to do all of the West rounds on a 450 and then really focus on 250 East, that's my main goal.
Expensive! It's fun, it's a lot of fun [laughs]. I'm living the dream and doing everything I can to try to get into the night show. We'll see how it goes.
I really want to do 250 West. That's my main focus. If we can be head and shoulders ahead of last year and get into the night shows, that'd be like a championship to me. Then if that goes well, I might go over to the East Coast. I just got my van so I might do the East with some 45o stuff and try to earn some money instead of just riding the same two Supercross tracks here in California for six weeks.
It's been tough. I had knee surgery this last summer so I've only ridden Supercross three times. I'm a little bit behind, but it's working out. We'll keep racing and keep improving each weekend, that's the goal.
Just to be in the main event every weekend. The races I did last year, I made it in. I got hurt at one of them so I missed a few rounds. I want to be consistent in the main event and improve on that.


The ministry that St. Panteleimon offers is invaluable and unique. I don't know of another Orthodox ministry around that offers anything similar to what the St. Panteleimon ministry offers. Bringing Orthodoxy into assisted living/nursing home facilities is so special. The ministry provides Orthodox residents a time to pray together in a way they are accustomed to. My yia-yia was in an assisted living facility for several years, so I know the importance of visiting people in these facilities, and bringing familiar things to them that they go no longer go out and do on their own. This ministry also benefits the non-Orthodox, as all are welcome and encouraged to attend services.
I thank God for the St. Panteleimon ministry--a ministry focusing on the elderly and shut ins, who can be forgotten about or neglected at times unfortunately. It brings worship and joy to these beautiful residents' lives; it provides a time to pray and sing to the Lord; it spreads the Orthodox faith and welcomes all to join.


There are three main things every person has to abide by in order to lead a happy and healthy life. You read them, you memorize them and of course you implement them; it doesn't get any simpler. It feels like I am giving away the secrets of life.
1- The first one is very important, without it you can barely accomplish anything. Love it.
2- The second is not as important as the first, but it goes hand in hand with it.
3- The third one will lose its meaning unless I tackle it in a separate blog.
Hold on to those three steps and they will pave the way to sucess and eternal bliss.


In each of us is hidden a Story teller, one who loves to open up new windows to the world, looks up beyond the horizons and dreams in the day just to mar a virgin sheet of paper with a fantastic fable. Tumbhi came up with a Short Story Writing Contest called "Somewhere Sometime" to catch hold of such beautiful birds of imagination with only one string of condition attached, i.e. the story was required to have a twist.
Each entry was individually analyzed by the jury which comprised of Kiran Khalap (author, Brand Consultant and founder of Chlorophyll Brand & Communications Consultancy); Javed Siddiqui (urdu and hindi screenwriter, dialogue writer and playwright form India, he has written over 50 storylines, screenplays and dialogues which comprises of films like DDLJ, Umraao Jaan, Taal, Pardes, Raja Hindustani and many more); and Pankaj Shukla (a film critic, a senior journalist, a book reviewer, writer, director, and a keen traveler).
Beautiful captures of visionary pieces were tracked and judges could only give some to-be-remembered-forever remarks on the entries.
The entries were judged on the basis of 4 criteria: Plot, Narrative, Language and Twist .They were looking for a perfect balance of idea and execution along with the compulsory flawless of the language used.
Although the expectations made are seldom defeated, the jury was able to make some concrete remarkes on the quality of the entries that poured in .
Narrative: what the reader sees and hears of what happens – and how he sees and hears it. The Hindi entries were almost flawless in their narration. Although a much higher level of good narrative by the use of quality dialogues was expected which was missing.
Language: The words weaving and unfolding the events in the story need to be carefully chosen in terms of their tone and elegancy. A couple of the English ones were quite poor in their use of language with the extensive usage of sms language and not-so-decent words although the Hindi stories stil scored some decent points in this respect.
Tumbhi team expects the writers who participated and got a chance to run their artworks under such veterans of the writing world will surely benefit from such valuable feedback!!

Cotabato City (January 24, 2017) – A lawmaker representing the Anak Mindanao (AMIN) party-list has underscored giving value to traditional art by way of respecting its heritage including giving recognition to its origin and the local community from where it came from.
In a privilege speech at the House of Representatives on Monday, January 23, Rep. Sitti Djalia Turabin-Hataman said it is unfair for Basilan, her home province, to be always mentioned for something bad, negative and ugly but does not get proper credit for its beautiful and precious art.
Rep. Turabin-Hataman was referring to an event dubbed Mindanao Tapestry held on January 19 in Davao City where 28 Miss Universe candidates wore dresses made from Mindanao's traditional fabrics.
Even as she praised the pre-pageant event for showcasing the best in Mindanao's ethnic communities, specifically their colorful yet diverse fabrics, she noted an error with respect to the background information given on the Yakan cloth.
"We are, however, very much disheartened to take notice of the fact that our very own Yakan tennun, popularly known as Yakan weave or cloth, was presented as a fabric from Region IX (Zamboanga Peninsula) instead of from the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM)," she said.
Members of the Yakan tribe, who are known for their colorful hand-woven clothes, are traditional inhabitants of the province of Basilan, which is part of the ARMM.
"We recognize the presence of a Yakan Village in Zamboanga City promoted as a popular tourist destination producing Yakan tennun and we are sincerely grateful for this support to our traditional art," said Rep. Turabin-Hataman. Based on available data, some Yakans migrated to Zamboanga City only in the 1970s to escape armed conflicts in Basilan.
The Yakan tennun, Rep. Turabin-Hataman further explained, is not just a product but represents a priceless traditional art of weaving along with the Landap of the Maranaos, the Inaul of the Maguindanawons, the Pis siyabit of the Tausugs, which are all traditional arts that survived for centuries.
"While those who fail to appreciate culture may perhaps see just a piece of cloth in our weave… to us, the wisdom, the values, the very spirit of our forebears live in every single strand of every piece of cloth," she said noting those weaves represent the people of Basilan's identity and being.
The colors, patterns and techniques of the Yakan tennun, she added, are the same colors, patterns and techniques, created in Basilan centuries ago. Thus, the issue is not just the Yakan cloth but the centuries-old tradition attached to a community.
Still, Rep. Turabin-Hataman said people from Basilan support the use and promotion of their products.
"Our only appeal is for our traditional arts to be recognized as having originated from us; that it is our own distinct contribution," she said.


A two-level method for the solution of finite element schemes on locally refined meshes is introduced. The upper bound on the condition number implies, in some cases, mesh-independent convergence, as is verified numerically for a diffusion problem with discontinuous coefficients. The discontinuity curves are not necessarily aligned with the coarse mesh; indeed, numerical applications with ten levels of local refinement yield a fast convergence for the corresponding ten-level multigrid V-cycle, even when the discontinuities are invisible on most of the coarse meshes.


Students will engage in the foundational skills necessary to produce a piece of artisan furniture safely. Study will include elements of design, joinery and fabrication methodology, machine and hand tool skills, the working properties of wood species, assembly techniques, finish types and their application, hardware and mixed media furniture, and an introduction to artisan furniture as a means of personal expression. Given the basic materials necessary to produce a simple side chair, stool, or bench, students will develop design options within the parameters set by the volume and species of wood to be used, develop necessary fabrication skills, and produce a simple piece of furniture using basic joinery techniques.


On Saturday, over 60 students took the plunge at the Alfond Youth Center's annual Polar Bear Dip. Colby was the largest contributed to the Alfond Youth Center, donating over $1000 to the AYC's hot meals lunch program. Thank you to all those who participated!

České dráhy (English: Czech Railways), often shortened to ČD, is the major railway operator in the Czech Republic providing regional and long-distance services.
4 Freight services
5 Rolling stock
The company was established in 1993, after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, as a successor of the Czechoslovak State Railways. It is a member of the International Railway Union (UIC Country Code for the Czech Republic is 54), Community of European Railways and the Organization for Railway Cooperation (Asia and Europe). With twenty-four thousand employees[2] ČD Group is the fifth largest Czech company by the number of employees.[3]
Until 1 July 2008, České dráhy was the biggest employer in the Czech Republic.[4] After experiencing regular losses and requiring government subsidy,[5] the railway reported its first ever profit in 2007[6] while still receiving government subsidy.[7] Attempts to make it more efficient are currently ongoing and a recent plan to move passenger transport to an independent subsidiary was approved by the Czech government in January 2008.[8]
ČD operates trains; fixed infrastructure (such as tracks) is managed by SŽDC. In December 2010, the Czech government proposed bringing SŽDC and ČD together in a single holding company. The government has also changed the subsidy available to ČD and SŽDC.[7]
In 2014 Pavel Krtek was elected Chairman of the Board of Directors.
In 2019 the Supervisory Board of Czech Railways dismissed Miroslav Kupec, Chairman of the Board of Directors, who has been in office since September 2018.[9]
ČD Class 680 Pendolino long-distance train
ČD railjet long-distance train
ČD Class 471 suburban train
ČD Class 844 regional train
In 2015 its consolidated revenues reached CZK 33 billion.[10] Revenues from passenger transport amounted to CZK 21 billion (64% transfer payments from the government, 24% intrastate transport, 12% international transport), revenues from freight transport operated by subsidiary ČD Cargo amounted to CZK 11 billion.[10]
9,412 km (5,848 mi) of railway lines operated by ČD, of which 3,210 km (1,990 mi) was electrified track and 1,906 km (1,184 mi) is double- and multiple-track,[11] all of them transferred to the infrastructure operator SŽDC since.
168.8 million passengers carried[11]
6,907 million passenger-kilometres[11]
76.723 million tonnes of goods carried[11]
13,592 million tonne-kilometres[11]
České dráhy is the result of more than 160 years of railway history in the Czech lands. Historic milestones include:
1828: first horse-drawn railway in continental Europe: České Budějovice - Linz
1839: first steam-hauled railway: Vienna - Břeclav
1903: first standard gauge electrified railway track
1918: foundation of Československé státní dráhy (ČSD or CSD) (English: Czechoslovak state railways)
1991: first EuroCity (EC) trains run on ČSD railways
1993: foundation of České dráhy (ČD or CD) after breakup of Czechoslovakia
1993: started renovation of Pan-European railway corridors
1994: started truck transportation ("RoLa") on ČD railways from Lovosice to Dresden (stopped in 2004)
2003: founding of České dráhy (Czech Railways), joint-stock company[12]
2005: Pendolino tilting trains enter regular service
2006: The liabilities of ČD Group increased from CZK 19 billion at the end of 2006 to CZK 53 billion at the end of 2015.[10][13]
2007: freight transport moved into subsidiary company ČD Cargo
2008: creation of ČD Sky, an alliance between České dráhy and the airline SkyEurope.[14] SkyEurope, which was heavily indebted, went bust in August 2009.
2014: first "ČD Railjet" with passengers runs in the Czech Republic
Freight services[edit]
ČD Cargo, the cargo subsidiary, mainly transports raw materials, intermediate goods and containers. As of 2009, it is ranked in the top five largest railway cargo operators in Europe.[15]
Rolling stock[edit]
2,726 tractive vehicles, of which 856 are electric locomotives and train-sets[11]
27,416 freight cars[11]
3,605 passenger cars[11]

Neave twins in the points at Knockhill
Tom Neave. Photo: David Yeomans.
Market Rasen twins Tim and Tom Neave were in the points at Knockhill when they competed in round five of the Pirelli National Superstock 1000 championship.
Tom recorded a ninth and eighth for the Louth-based Honda Racing team while Tim followed up with a brace of 11th places for Morello Racing Kawasaki.
Tom began the first of two 20-lap races from a fifth-row grid position after qualifying in 14th place.
He got a good start and was circulating in 10th position leading a group of four riders and gradually reeling in the group ahead.
On lap 12 he passed Levi Day for ninth place and remained in that position through the last few laps to take the chequered flag to pick up seven championship points.
Meanwhile, Tim started the first race from the sixth row in 18th place and he too got away to a good start making up places to 13th on the first lap.
He was in the middle of the same group as his brother circulating just three places behind him.
When Graeme Irwin crashed out of the group Tim was elevated to 11th position and he too overtook Levi Day in the latter stages of the race to cross the finish line in 11th place to secure five championship points.
As the riders took to their grid positions for the second race it was raining heavily and conditions were tricky.
Tom began the 24-lap race from the second row and held sixth place for the first five laps.
One lap later he was relegated to seventh by Luke Jones and as the rain began to get worse he dropped another couple of places on lap seven.
He returned to eighth place when he overtook Alex Olsen but then Eemeli Lahti went past so he was back down to ninth.
On lap 16 Olsen retook ninth place leaving Tom to follow him once again.
Caistor CC prove too strong for Hartsholme
Frustrating weekend for rider O'Halloran
With conditions deteriorating further riders were falling.
And with Jones and Lahti both crashing in the latter stages of the race Tom continued to progress and crossed the finish line in a creditable eighth position.
Tim began the race from the fifth row and was exchanging 13th place with Leon Jeacock during the first 10 laps before finally getting the better of him and pulling clear.
He then entered into a battle for 12th place with Barry Teasdale finally passing him for 12th place on lap 17.
He too benefitted from two of the front runners crashing in the final stages of the race and was running in 10th place on the penultimate lap.
But he didn't reckon with Ben Godfrey who was reeling him and on the final lap Godfrey made his move leaving Tim to complete the race in 11th position just a 10th of a second away.
The points accrued at Knockhill place Tom sixth in the rider standings on 66.5 points while Tim moves up to 14th on 26.5 points.
The next round is at Donington Park this weekend as the Stock 1000s have a race as one of the support classes to the World Superbike round.


Another City star is set to wed! Olivia Palermo is engaged to her boyfriend Johannes Huebl. The MTV reality star and her husband-to-be announced the happy news via an Instagram video on Wednesday, Jan. 1.
"Happy New Year to everybody and this is how we celebrate it: OP said Y E S," Huebl wrote. Alongside the caption, the 6-foot-2 German model posted a video of the fashion blogger walking in front of him until eventually revealing her stunning engagement ring.
Palermo, 27, and Huebl began dating in 2008. "We met through mutual friends — and they're still our dearest friends," the stylish star told Elle in 2011.
Palermo appeared on The City from 2008 to 2010. She then went on to guest on Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model and Project Runway. Her City costar Whitney Port also got engaged to her boyfriend Tim Rosenman in November 2013. Fellow MTV star Lauren Conrad revealed her engagement to beau William Tell one month earlier.
