Skanska has signed a contract with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Metro-North Railroad to complete the final phase of the Croton-Harmon Shops and Yard complex project. The contract is worth USD 365 M, about SEK 3.3 billion, which will be included in the US order bookings for the fourth quarter of 2018.
The 40-hectare (100-acre) complex was built in the early 1900s, and currently serves as Metro-North's primary service, repair, and maintenance facility. Under the design-build contract, Skanska will demolish two obsolete structures currently used for train maintenance and replace them with a new 22,300-square-meter (240,000-square-foot) facility that will service Metro North's electric fleet.
Construction is set to begin in the first quarter of 2019 and will continue through 2022.


Do you really know your skin? Your skin, aka your face, is the first thing people tend to notice when they see you. It covers every inch of your body and when it feels fine you probably don't even notice it, but if it's off, it can really affect your physical and mental wellbeing (do you remember having the chickenpox and how itchy and awful your skin felt?!?!).
In honor of our skin, we will be having a 3 part blog series in getting to know our skin. In today's blog post we will get to know your skin type and some of the most common types of skin conditions.
Did you know that your skin is the largest organ of the body? It is the protective barrier for all our internal organs and internal body system. Our skin naturally knows how to take care of itself, yet we often interfere with its job by not properly nurturing it. We can support our skin better by only using pure and nurturing ingredients and products, and by staying hydrated.
Most people misdiagnose their skin type. Our skin is always changing- it changes during the seasons, by our diet, and as we age. Therefore, our skin type is also always changing. What may have worked for us at one time, may no longer work in the future. It is important to pay attention to your skin and reevaluate when a product may no longer be working for you or if a new and different product may be needed. Here are 6 different types of skin.
Normal Skin: Balanced with oil and moisture evenly with firm, vibrant, blemish-free skin tone, color, and texture. VERY FEW people have normal skin.
Dry Skin: Skin does not produce enough oil and usually feels tight and dry.
Oily Skin: This produces too much oil from over stimulated glands and can be greasy with blemishes.
Combination Skin: Will be different at different areas of the face. It tends to be dry around the mouth, cheeks, and eyes and oily in the forehead and nose.
Sensitive Skin: Reacts to allergens, detergents, preservatives, chemical irritants, sun, stress, etc.
Mature, aka Aging, Skin: May show sun damage and fine lines and wrinkles start to form. May have some signs of pigmentation and sagging and lack vibrancy and moisture.
Many people suffer with skin conditions that affect the health and vibrancy of their skin. Here are 3 common types of skin conditions.
Acne: Can happen at any age with any skin type. Acne treatment is one of the top google search terms in beauty care. Often can fluctuate due to hormones from menstrual cycles, pregnancy, menopause, etc.
Eczema: Causes your skin to be red and itchy. Has a genetic component and can be made worse due to environmental factors, irritants, and allergens.
Psoriasis: Causes skin to have scales and red patches that are itchy and can be painful. It is chronic that comes and goes with no cure, however can be managed better with lifestyle changes.
With both Eczema and Psoriasis it is important to better understand your condition and triggers for flair ups. Individuals with either of these conditions are recommended to consult with a wellness care professional that is well-versed in them.
What type of skin do you have? Do you suffer from any of these common skin conditions? We'd love to hear more from you in the comments below.

A legal separation can have several meanings depending on the context in which it is used. If the parties want to obtain a divorce they must be legally separated under North Carolina law for one year. In this context legally separated means that at least one party intends to live permanently separate and apart. This means separate residences. Separate bedrooms or areas of the same house will not equal a legal separation. As soon as one of the parties moves out intending to live separate and apart then the clock starts toward their one year requirement. For example Bob and Mary want to separate, Bob moves out August 1, 2008 into his own apartment, Bob cannot file for a divorce from Mary until August 2, 2009. There is also a claim under North Carolina law known as Divorce from Bed and Board. This is a judicial decree legally separating the parties and is not really a divorce at all. If the parties obtain a divorce from bed and board they are not free to remarry. The grounds for a court to grant a legal separation by divorce from bed and board are fault based. A court may grant this based on abandonment, cruel or barbarous treatment, indignities, drug abuse, or adultery. A divorce is a judgment by the court which dissolves the contract of marriage between a man, woman, and the state. See "How do I Obtain a Divorce in North Carolina" for further reference.

Trials & Tribulations How tumor-specific modulation frequencies were discovered
By Boris Pasche
Charles L. Spurr Professor of Medicine,
Chairman, Department of Cancer Biology,
Director, Comprehensive Cancer Center of Wake Forest University
In the spring of 2001, I visited a longtime friend and collaborator, Alexandre Barbault, to share with him my vision of using low levels radiofrequency electromagnetic fields for the treatment of cancer.
We had worked together for the previous 15 years, developing a medical device emitting low levels 27 MHz radiofrequency electromagnetic fields with the goal to treat insomnia. This work had been fruitful, as we had identified specific modulation frequencies with a sleep-restoring effect in humans(1-3).
Despite clinical evidence of efficacy from a multicenter randomized study conducted in the US that included 106 patients with chronic insomnia(4), there were lingering concerns about the long-term toxicity of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields because of the emerging cell phone controversy in the 1990s, which suggested that long-term use of cell phones was associated with increased cancer risk, especially with respect to brain tumors.
Symtonic, the company built around this technology, … Continue reading How tumor-specific modulation frequencies were discovered

Radio, still in the hearts of Europeans
A study conducted by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has shown that radio remains the most reliable audiovisual medium for Europeans.
In its new Trust in Media 2019 report, the EBU announces that 85% of European countries trust radio more easily, followed by 75% on television. The figures are clear, despite the digitalization of the medias, traditional media still retain a place of choice in the hearts of Europeans. When it comes to reliability it is the radio that ticks all the boxes and solidifies the fracture, already well present, between traditional media and new media.
59% of the population of the European Union claims to prefer radio as a reliable source of information compared to only 32% for the Internet and 19% for social networks. Declining figures for digital sources for several years (respectively 36% and 21% in 2014), which also reflect a renewed confidence in the print media stated for the first time in the report.
Indeed, public service media are among the five most reliable news brands in Europe: "A positive correlation between the perceived reliability of national news and citizens' satisfaction with democracy means that radio and television are essential assets for European society. "*

Empty Nesters Build With Room to Grow
|In custom home design
|By G&G Custom Homes
Joe Garcia, owner of G&G Custom Homes has witnessed a trend in home building as homeowners design houses to suit their lifestyle.
"I have clients who are technically 'empty nesters,' but they don't want to build a typical 'empty-nester home,'" says Joe.
Such was the case for Merilee and Tom Klootwyk, who hired Joe to build a home in Westfield's Chatham Hills. Though the couple originally planned to downsize, it soon became clear that they wanted ample space to hold their growing family.
"We wanted to be able to host everyone for holidays," says Merilee. Their oldest daughter is married with a one-year-old son. Their second daughter is engaged, and their youngest daughter likes coming home on college breaks and inviting friends over.
"At first, we questioned if we were doing the right thing, adding square footage. In the end, we absolutely did," says Merilee.
They also made sure to design a home they could age into. So, the master suite is on the first floor with a reading room adjacent to the bedroom.
The family's favorite features of the home include the outdoor living area, complete with heaters for chilly evenings, and the kitchen's "snug" —a booth that resembles the kind you'd find at a diner.
Merilee admits that initially they were nervous about moving out of their home of 23 years.
"We made many great memories there, but it's amazing how quickly this place became home," she says. "Now we're making new memories here!"
If you are looking to grow your empty nest along with your family, reach out to the design professionals at G&G Custom Homes and get started today!

This provides a memorable experience and a house they are proud to call their forever home.

It's time for initial POSITIVE impressions of the Nintendo Wii U after only three hours of play. This is a trainwreck of a show (due to spending more time messing with the system rather than preparing a show roll) but we hit on the system, the tablet, Nintendoland, and Scribblenauts Unlimited. During the OLR call, we talk about the Xbox LIVE 10th Anniversary.

[Shine Fights 3]: Worlds Collide - l'ex campione di Boxe Mayorga sarà nel main event (15/05/2010)
American Top Team's Din Thomas will meet former two-division boxing champion Ricardo Mayorga in the Shine Fights 3 "Worlds Collide" headliner on May 15 at the Crown Coliseum in Fayetteville, N.C. The promotion on Wednesday greenlit the match and the event, which will air live on pay-per-view.
Thomas has rattled off three straight wins since being cut by the UFC in wake of his April 2008 decision loss to Josh Neer. The 33-year-old Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt has delivered 21 of his 25 career victories by knockout, technical knockout or submission. A semi-finalist on Season 4 of "The Ultimate Fighter," Thomas owns wins over one-time UFC welterweight champion Matt Serra, former UFC lightweight king Jens Pulver, former two-division Deep titleholder Dokonjonosuke Mishima and former Strikeforce lightweight champion Clay Guida.
Mayorga -- perhaps best known for his victories against the late Vernon Forrest in 2003 -- holds a 28-7-1, 1 NC record as a professional boxer. The 36-year-old Nicaraguan last fought in September 2008, when he suffered a 12th-round knockout at the hands of Shane Mosley in Carson, Calif. He has never before competed in mixed martial arts.
A matchup between former EliteXC middleweight champion Murilo "Ninja" Rua and UFC veteran Falaniko Vitale will likely appear on the Shine Fights 3 lineup, as well. The promotion also has former Bodog Fight champion Nick Thompson and Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace Braulio Estima under contract.

Signal Defeats Noise!
Posted on November 7, 2012 by axooms
In my opinion, the biggest unheralded winner in yesterday's election was Thomas Bayes. Now Bayes died back in 1761, but his influence lives on in Bayes' Theorem, which is one of the tentpoles of modern statistics and probability. His modern incarnation is Nate Silver, proprietor of the 538 blog, which devised an aggregated polling and economic model to predict elections, and called 49 of 50 states correctly four years ago, and is on target to get all 50 right this year. Silver's statistical approach has drawn many detractors, but to paraphrase MLK, the numeric arc of elections is long, but it bends toward probability theory.
For the last few weeks, the noise around the election became louder and louder, at the same time the signal on 538 became more and more clear. The long march of history is that data and signal triumph over noise, and by the early hours of the evening, it got pretty quiet. Silver pretty much nailed this one too.
There are few specific education items in this election worth much comment, but there is a lesson here, and it is a simple one: Signal Defeats Noise. This is poignant for education, as many debates are still dominated by the noise of a vocal and shrill minority, a discordant clamor which captures the attention of far too many legislators. Education still, and almost uniquely among major topics, has fact and data buried by noise.
Nowhere was this more evident than in the false ballyhoo around 3A and 3B. Denver has a long and consistent history of supporting similar measures, and there was never any indication that the basic signal had changed. There was a discordant noise — formed by the asynchronous demographics of both anti-tax tea party republicans and a sliver of status-quo democrats, and amplified by media. Loud and shrill, these voices were given far too much attention: their claims rarely passed any analytical review, and if anything, treating them as serious opponents gave them a credibility that they should have lacked. Any doubt about their ability to generate support might have been quickly discredited when campaign finance reports showed their appeal, as the No on 3B campaign finished with all of $1,890 in contributions. The opposition to 3B was Noise.
But realize as well that any claims of credit for the victory on 3A and 3B by the politicians who supported them is likely an indication that the rest of their education agenda is strikingly shallow, and is roughly akin to celebrating the sun's rise this morning over the eastern horizon. There should be little pride in beating back something that was never a threat. If you believe in signal and not noise, delivering a bond and mill in Denver is simply not much of an accomplishment. Beware the politician who, even in hindsight, makes this a seem like an earned victory.
For the Denver school board has, in the past year, shown a proclivity to pay an overt amount of attention to noise instead of increasingly clear data about which schools and policies are having an impact. There are lots of education issues where ignoring the noise and focusing on the signal will be critical, including some that will need attention in the coming months. And if there is one thing increasingly clear about DPS and the Denver school board, it is that both sides now celebrate noise far more than they acknowledge signal.
There was not too much more of interest for education wonks. Bond measures across the Front Range did very well — this unanimity comes as somewhat of a surprise given the failure last year of Proposition 103. But Prop 103 was amorphous and unstructured, dollars thrown into a dark hole, while bonds issues, by their nature, are specific to the point of dullness. So the hypothesis that can sit in the intersection of both defeat and victory — that voters will support additional dollars for education as long as they believe in what these dollars will buy — may still hold true.
Individual results were largely predictable. While it was no surprise, I was glad to see Brandon Shaffer soundly defeated, even though I am no fan of his opponent. Shaffer's consistent opposition to sensible education legislation — culminating in a cowardly move to send last year's well-supported and bi-partisan literacy bill to a kill committee — has been a prime example of noise over signal for years. I doubt many tears hit the floor when his results came in.
One of the closest races of the night was Evie Hudack in the State Senate. A former member of the Board of Education, Hudak has usually taken fairly traditional stances on most issues, such as her opposition to SB 191, the bill that changed teacher evaluation. However even Hudak has shown some flexibility recently, and she voted to support the early literacy bill last year.
If there is an unrecognized bright spot in the election for education reform, it may be the ascendency of Mark Ferrindino to Speaker of the Colorado House. Mark is the son of schoolteachers, and an ardent believer that our education systems need change. Mark has supported much of the legislation at the heart of education reform, and he will ensure that issues are debated on their merits. I don't agree with him on everything, but his positions are well-considered — they are signal, not noise — I deeply respect his views, and think he will make Colorado proud.

Dottie Lamm says:
Alex, sure agree on your opinion of Schaeffer, Hudak and Ferrindino. Heard the latter speak to a pro choice group yesterday. Also glad to see Edie has mellowed. Supported her too, for her leadership in choice. Well written! Dottie Lamm

Canadian Eric Lamaze finishes 2nd in Grand Prix at Spruce Meadows
Canada's Eric Lamaze, aboard Fine Lady 5, placed second in the $500,000 RBC Grand Prix in the show jumping competition Saturday at Calgary's Spruce Meadows.
Ireland's Conor Swail takes 1st place

Canada's Eric Lamaze, aboard Fine Lady 5, placed second in the $500,000 RBC Grand Prix in the show jumping competition Saturday at Calgary's Spruce Meadows, behind Ireland's Conor Swail and ahead of American Rich Fellers.
Thirty-three entries took to the course in the Grand Prix, which was designed by Guilherme Jorge of Brazil. He will be designing at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.
Watch Spruce Meadows action live Sunday at 2 p.m. ET on cbcsports.ca
Fellers and his horse Flexible completed the course in 43.77 seconds with no faults for third place. Lamaze competed next, finishing in 41.96.
"She's naturally quick, and I knew Conor was after me," Lamaze said of Fine Lady 5. "I thought I'd done enough, or for sure enough to put the pressure that he had to take a few risks and see where it goes. I'm thrilled with this mare today. She jumped fantastic."
Lamaze's performance was not enough as the last horse in the ring found that bit more speed to win. Swail and Martha Louise, a 12-year-old Swedish Warmblood mare, made a daring dash to the double combination, and cleared the final oxer in 40.66 seconds.
Going last in the jump-off "made a big difference," Swail said. "I watched Eric's round and I saw how good of a round he had. There were five clears, I have a fast horse, I ride not too bad, so I thought I would give it a good go and it all came off very well today."
Earlier in the day, Lamaze rode Rosana du Park to win the Transcanada Winning Round 1.50 metre.
When Lamaze entered the ring, he was following fellow Canadian rider Tiffany Foster, who had set the leading time with a clear round in 55.88 seconds on Brighton. Lamaze sped around the course, turning in a time just under in 55.69 seconds for victory.
Third place went to Egypt's Sameh El Dahan on WKD Diva. They recorded a clear round in 56.82 seconds.

Spruce Meadows championship show jumping


The South West Motocross Club opened their 2019 season with a Warm Up meeting at Littlehempston last Sunday and over 150 riders braved the cold and made for a great meeting.
With a good number of new members, and with many riders moving up a group, these pre season meetings often throw up surprise results with new front runners emerging into the fray!
The little Auto racers coped well with the conditions, and at the head of the field it was a battle royal between the top two of Walt Carroll and Jamie Currie. Currie started the day with the win in Moto 1, but Carroll fought back well and won the remaining Moto's to take the overall. So it was Carroll then Currie, with James Stonier in third, one point ahead of Freddie Richards. Great effort guys!
Three different riders tasted victory in the Junior 65cc class, Zane Sibley-Deakin taking first blood with the opening Moto win. Riley Small blasted back with the 1st place in the second race, while Phillip Tchorek improved as the day went on and went over the chequers first in the final moto. When the points were counted though it was Small with the Overall, from Tchorek in Second. Logan Chinock put in a good shift for third and Sibley-Deakin finished fourth.
Harrison Roberts got his 2019 off to a flying start, going unbeaten in the three Small Wheel 85 motos for a convincing overall victory. Carter Brown was second in each race for the number two spot at the end of the day while Archie Hobbs finished a great third.
In the Big Wheel 85's Henry Life made a impressive transition from the Small Wheels with a solid three ride maximum and the overall. Behind Life though some of his main challengers suffered with DNF's and with three consistent rides Jack Dando claimed the second step of the podium, with Ashton Coleman third.
Another rider to move up in epic fashion was Jason Down, and he will be a force to be reckoned with this year in the Rookie class. Down won each and every moto for the overall from Brogan Laity in second and Brent Harris in third.
The Adult B class was so stacked that they had to have an overflow class with the Vets. In the main Adult B race, Alex Loewy was the man to beat and after a second in Race one to Ben Masters, he pitched in with the remaining Moto wins for the overall. Tom Day would finish second, with Moto 1 victor Masters in third. Ryan Aiston proved unstoppable in the Overflow race with a clean sweep of wins.
The Vets found the going tough and there was just one finisher from this class in the final race and that was Andrew Watkins, who as a result of this took the overall from David Ford, who was the winner in both of the first two races. Justin Carpenter would finish third.
There was huge mismatch of results in the ultra competitive Adult A class with riders suffering from early season teething problems. Dominic Thomas though, managed to come through the day in good fettle and by winning the final moto, edged out Troy Jones for the win on countback. Just two points further back in third was Richard Tucker.

West Bank Arts Center Dar Jacir Ransacked
The Dar Yusuf Nasri Jacir for Art and Research sustained extensive damage at the hands of Israeli occupation forces, according to a statement issued by the organization. Staff at the Bethlehem arts center said forces raided the structure this past Saturday, ransacking offices and making off with equipment including phones, computers, hard drives, and cameras. Earlier the preceding week, staff said, Dar Jacir's urban garden was destroyed as fires were set around the building, forcing the evacuation of resident artists there. Several nearby structures were said to be destroyed as well. A photograph provided by the arts center showed blackened earth where the garden had previously stood.Dar Jacir was founded in 2014 by Golden Lion–winning Palestinian photographer and filmmaker Emily Jacir in a nineteenth-century stone structure that was once home to her grandparents. The building, at the edge of the city, is situated at the entrance to El Khalil Road linking the West Bank city of Hebron to Jerusalem, and is only about six hundred feet from a portion of the Israeli Separation Wall protecting the Jewish holy site of Rachel's Tomb. Dar Jacir typically offers educational, cultural, agricultural, and film programming, and hosts artist residencies, recently welcoming British writer Isabella Hammad, Chilean American composer Nicolas Jaar, and Cuban American artist Coco Fusco.The alleged raid came as tensions between Palestine and Israel have flared over the past two weeks after Israeli forces on May 7 attempted to evict Palestinians from East Jerusalem, where they have long held residence, and on May 10 raided Al Aqsa Mosque, one of Islam's holiest sites. Since then, according to the New York Times, 212 Palestinians have died in Gaza Strip air raids conducted by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), who days ago destroyed a building housing the offices of Al Jazeera and the Associated Press; ten Israelis have died in Hamas missile strikes.Artforum has reached out to the IDF and to Dar Jacir for comment.

Stenostola dubia (син. Stenostola tiliae) је инсект из реда тврдокрилаца (Coleoptera) и фамилије стрижибуба (Cerambycidae). Припада потфамилији Lamiinae.

Распрострањење и станиште
Распрострањена је у скоро целој Европи и на Кавказу. У Србији је ретко налажена.

Опис
Stenostola dubia је дугaчка 8—14 mm. Тело је црно, покривено финим белосивим длачицама. Покрилца су изузетно сјајна, металномодре боје са грубом пунктацијом. Ова врста се често меша са сродном врстом Stenostola ferrea. Међутим, ове две врсте се јасно разликују, најлакше на основу разлика у гениталном апарату мужјака, али и морфологији имага, развићу, ДНК маркерима и биономији.

Биологија и развиће
Имага су активна у касно пролеће и рано лето, од маја до јула. Ларве се развијају у одумрлим или мртвим, али још увек влажним гранама лишћара (пре свега липе, леске, храста, јасена, ораха, јове, питомог кестена, врбе, тополе или бреста) или у гранама које леже на земљи, пречника 2-5 cm. Ларве ове врсте су у исхрани мање пробирљиве од сродне врсте, Stenostola ferrea, и толеришу већу влажност дрвета.ларве се улуткавају у пролеће, а развиће траје једну до две године. Имага се налазе на листовима и гранама биљке домаћина, ређе на цвећу, а хране се лишћем или такном кором стабла биљке домаћина.

We already know of the detrimental effects that over-indulgence in candy, soda beverages, and other sweet treats will have on a person's dental health. But there are a few foods that many people would be surprised to learn can actually harm their teeth as well. In this post, we will take a look at five foods that could be negatively affecting your dental health.
Almonds: While almonds in general are some of the healthiest food options out there, regularly eating them (the wrong way) can lead to dental problems. Because of the shape of almonds and their hard texture, biting down on them often leads to added stress on your teeth. It isn't uncommon for people to experience dental fractures because of this super food. So are almonds totally off the table? Of course not! Instead of eating whole almonds, opt for slivered almonds to avoid any wearing away of the teeth.
Red Wine: In moderation, red wine has been shown to be quite beneficial for cardiovascular health. However, the operative word is moderation. Consuming large amounts of red wine on a daily basis does the teeth no good. While staining is a common problem caused by red wine, that's not the only thing to worry about. The sugar and acid in wine will also take a toll on dental health. If you drink red wine regularly, strive to rinse your mouth out with water, brush your teeth, or chew gum afterward. If you don't have any of these things on hand, pairing your wine with cheese is a good way to get rid of red wine residue.
White Bread: White bread in general is usually the worst option when it comes to keeping yourself in optimum health, not just protecting the health of your teeth. White bread is loaded with sugar and you have probably noticed that white bread turns into a sticky substance once it's in your mouth. This creates a way for unwelcome bacteria to take root in your mouth and eventually cause cavities. If you can't give up white bread, try to brush your teeth and floss soon after eating it. And although wheat bread can have a similar effect on teeth that white bread does, it is usually less of a risk because of its coarser consistency.
Dried Fruit: Although even young children understand that fruit is a substantially healthier snack alternative to sugary desserts and is an overall great health food in general, packaged, dry fruit is usually filled with lots of sugar itself. Like white bread, dried fruit has a sticky consistency that causes bacteria buildup in the mouth that stays there and eventually leads to cavities. If you plan to keep eating commercially produced dried fruit with a high sugar content, make sure you are able to rinse out your mouth with water afterward or even better, brush your teeth.
Berries: By no means are we suggesting that you should completely ditch your berry consumption considering they are some of the best super foods out there and they are packed with many nutritional elements including antioxidants. However, it is important to recognize that the gorgeous pigmentation in berries can lead to staining of the teeth.
Additionally, the seeds in berries can also be bad for the enamel. After eating berries, plan to gently brush your teeth. Don't brush too vigorously or too often as your enamel is fragile and is susceptible to wear.
Curious about other surprising foods that could be the culprit behind poor dental health? Or are you overdue on a dental checkup? Don't hesitate to contact us today to learn about the extensive dental health services we offer.

USA, Haiti, 10 African countries, others for African Drums festival in Ogun
From: Laide Raheem, Abeokuta
No fewer than 20 drumming troupes from 10 African countries as well as 12 states within Nigeria are expected participate in the African Drums Festival 2017, to be hosted by Ogun State.
The festival, scheduled to commence April 20 and end on Saturday, April 22, will also be attended by troupes from the United States of America (USA), Cuba and Haiti.
Chairman, Local Organising Committee (LOC) of the festival and the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Barr. Taiwo Adeoluwa, made this known at the press conference and unveiling of the festival logo, organised to herald the event, held at the Banquet Hall, June 12 Cultural Centre, Abeokuta, on Tuesday.
Adeoluwa, who described the drum festival as first of its kind in the annals of Africa, said the festival would boast of quality participation, presentation and competition, among the participating troupes.
He added that the 2017 edition has been expanded to accommodate troupes from private and Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs), while renowned drummers like Alao Adewole, Ojubanire and Aderoju of late Ayinla Omowura, Haruna Ishola and Sikiru Ayinde, respectively, will be part of the event. The troupe of late Hubert Ogunde from Ososa in Ogun State will also perform at the festival.
Adeoluwa, however, disclosed that the state has secured a partnership with international institutes such as Goethe Institute and others, to make the event a success.
Meanwhile, he said the state has taken legal steps to patent and ensure that the world tallest drum was invented and located in Ogun State.
In his remark, Governor Ibikunle Amosun, said the festival would promote unity and showcase the rich cultural heritage of the African continent.
Represented by his deputy, Mrs. Yetunde Onanuga, Governor Amosun, noted, "the unique aspect of the festival was the unveiling of the world tallest drum. It received greater acceptance, and it has opened doors from our brothers and sisters from other African countries. It is one way of promoting unity in the continent".

Q: Layer/Shape Effect Inheritance in Photoshop Imagine you have lots of icon layers duplicated from same shape layers.
Is there any technique for apply the same changes of shape/layer effect to duplicated layers at the same time with the original ones?
I'm using copy and paste shape/layer attributes for now but it is too painful when you have too many layers to paste, especially when they are in many group folders.

A: CS6 can apply Lauer effects to groups, so you could put all the icons in a group and put the effects on the group.

A: If I understood your question correctly: You want to change one original layer then all the duplicated layers are changed accordingly, right?
I usually select the layers of a repeating element (like a header, the navigation bar, a footer, or a button...etc.) and convert it into a "smart object". (right click on the selected layers)
When you duplicate the "smart object" layer, Photoshop assures you all the duplicates are just the alias of the original. When you need to update, just double click the thumbnail of the smart object layer. Photoshop would pop up a separate canvas. Make your changes, save and close. Your changes will be applied to all the alias layers.
Smart Object is very useful dealing with repeating elements. It's like the "symbol" in Illustrator and Flash. Smart Object can contain other Smart Objects too.

Btw, a shortcut for duplicating layer style: ("Alt" + Drag) the style effects from the origin layer to the target layer. You can ("alt"+drag) the entire effects, or just one effect, i.e. if you only want to copy the gradient overlay without others.

Negotiating the Epistemologic Implications of Oenophilia

Solidarity with our sisters and brothers in France: vive la France! et vive l'ironie!
Posted on January 8, 2015 by Do Bianchi
Yesterday's vicious attack at the offices of Charlie Hebdo resonates and reverberates far beyond Paris, where the very notions of free speech and freedom for all people were enshrined during the great Age of Enlightenment.
As we have read the coverage from Europe, including reports of Italy's heightened sense of vulnerability, I can't help but thinks about one of the journalistic trends that emerged during the months that followed the Tragedy of the Twin Towers in New York in 2001.
"Is irony dead?" asked many writers and critical theorists at the time.
In the wake of what happened yesterday in Paris, it's more important than ever for us to embrace irony.
The despicable men who committed this atrocity are so convinced of their misguided, evil beliefs that they — quite literally — held no quarter for irony and the satirical medium employed by the editors of Charlie Hebdo. And where and when irony were to be eliminated, there would be only totalitarianism.
Without irony and without negation (as the critical theorists would call it), there can be no truth because truth cannot exist in the hermetically sealed world of totalitarianism. And that's what the attackers want more than anything.
I can't think of more urgent moment than now to shout at the top of my lungs, vive l'ironie! and vive la France!
To our French sisters and brothers, know that we stand with you!

Faced with civil disobedience threat, Italian agriculture ministry issues new labeling guidelines
Above: the Italian Federation of Independent Grape Growers technical advisory board, including president Matilde Poggi (top row, third from left). Their t-shirts feature a quote from the song "Absolutely Sweet Marie" by Bob Dylan, "to live outside the law, you must be honest."
On December 31, 2014, the Italian agriculture ministry issued new guidelines for the use of geographic mentions in wine industry labeling and marketing materials. The so-called "clarification" came in response to a threat of civil disobedience by the Italian Federation of Independent Grape Growers (FIVI). The group had called for its members to employ illegal labeling and marketing practices if the ministry did not act to address their grievance with restrictive EU norms.
"It is now possible," according to a FIVI press release, "to use the name of a province or a region in labeling and marketing materials even when the name is registered as a DOCG, DOC, or IGT."
In 2014, an Italian winemaker had been fined by government officials for using a geographical mention in marketing materials. The winery, a producer of Barolo, had used the place name "Langhe" in promotional media.
According to the Italian ministry's interpretation of EU norms, even though the winery is located in Langhe (the Langhe hills of Piedmont), he was not entitled to use the geographic mention because it is the homonym of an appellation name (Langhe as in "Langhe Nebbiolo," for example).
Many were bewildered by the seemingly absurdist application of EU law.
See this post for background on the controversy.
A number of prominent Italian wine trade members and observers had spoken out about the issue. And in November, FIVI called on its members to engage in civil disobedience if the ministry did not act by the end of the year.
In the FIVI statement, the group's president Matilde Poggi expressed her satisfaction with the ministry's new guidelines, calling it "an important step toward simplification and common sense."

The sky was blue this morning. And there were some dark grey clouds also.
The sun was fighting to shine.
It always does. It will even persist through the rain sometimes.
Light is like that. It wants to press through. Illuminate.
People flocked to your light. To your warmth. Your joy. Your love.
We can't talk to you, but we hear you. We can't hug you, but we hug one another a little tighter.
Sometimes, like today, the clouds threaten and compete for space in the sky. We are reminded of our sadness and pain.
But that damned sun. It just keeps shining. The light always wins.

Juttner Family-Evergreen Cemetery, Holy Cross Cemetery, Zion Lutheran Cemetery, Ford County, Kansas
The Juttner family story begins with the birth of Joseph Edward Juttner, Sr. in1844. He left Germany and came to America in 1885 where he made his way to Chicago, Illinois. It was there he met and married his first wife, Anna Marie Ketwa (b. 1850 in Germany), on October 18, 1874. Five children were born to the couple with only three surviving into adulthood.
Joseph Sr., Anna Marie, and children Elizabeth, Joseph Jr., and Frank settled in Wheatland Twp. Ford County. Anna Marie died shortly after arriving in 1879. She was 29 years old. She is buried in Holy Cross Cemetery, Windthorst.
The Juttner family was considered prosperous. By the turn of the century, the Juttner Family owned a section of land. Joseph, Sr. married Rebecca Evans Helwig, herself a widower, in 1907. Two sons were born to this union.
Joseph Jr. married Carlina Heiland, whose father was also an early settler in the area. They were the parents of four children. Elizabeth married Frank Shultz.
Joseph retired from active farming in March of 1917 and died unexpectedly in August. He is buried in Evergreen Cemetery. Rebecca moved to Topeka, Shawnee County to live with her oldest son. She died of cancer in 1918 and is buried at the Topeka Cemetery in Shawnee County, Kansas.
There is a headstone in Zion Lutheran Cemetery which reads: Frank Sohn Von Joseph and Anna Juttener Geborn AM 19 December 1878 Gesturben AM 28 April 1903. He was the youngest son and chose to keep the German spelling.

Nash issues statement on Eddie Ray Routh trial
February 25, 2015 jhorton News 0
Erath County District Attorney Alan Nash presents evidence. | File Photo
Submitted by Erath County District Attorney Alan Nash's office
STEPHENVILLE (February 25, 2015) — An Erath County Jury took just over two hours last night to find Eddie Ray Routh guilty of the capital murder of Chris Kyle and Chad Littlefield. The jury rejected the defendant's claim that he was legally insane at the time of the offense and therefore, not criminally responsible for the crime. Judge Jason Cashon sentenced the defendant immediately to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Routh, age 27, a resident of Lancaster, Texas, shot and killed Kyle and Littlefield at the Rough Creek Lodge sport shooting range on February 2, 2013. Routh's mother had approached Kyle to help her son, who was having problems adjusting to civilian life after his discharge from the Marines in 2010. Kyle and Littlefield, who were friends and neighbors, often helped veterans by engaging them in sports and outdoor activities. Routh shot Chad Littlefield a total of six times, including in his back, head and face. Routh ambushed Chris Kyle, shooting the "American Sniper" author six times in the back. Routh told authorities that he "waited for the opportune time" to shoot Kyle, by waiting until Kyle had finished discharging his weapon at a target at the range.
Routh offered differing and at times conflicting versions of his motive to kill the two men. He told an Erath County Sheriff's deputy that he killed the two men because he became irritated and offended that they wouldn't talk to him while on the ride to Rough Creek Lodge. Routh told a magazine reporter that he was angry that Littlefield was not shooting at the range, but was just watching the others shoot. Routh told a forensic psychiatrist that his anger was directed mainly at Littlefield, and that "he knew that if he'd just shot Littlefield, Kyle would shoot him, therefore, he needed to kill them both."
District Attorney's Office February 25, 2015
Although Routh, who never saw military combat, was receiving benefits from the Veterans' Administration for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), all three doctors who evaluated him for trial, including the defense expert, agreed that he does not have PTSD. Defense attorneys for Routh claimed he was legally insane at the time of the offense. Texas law requires that a defendant must prove that, at the time of the crime, he has a "severe mental disease or defect" which caused him to not know that his conduct was wrong.
A forensic psychologist, Dr. Randall Price, Ph.D., testified that the defendant did not have a severe mental illness, but rather, was a heavy marijuana and alcohol user, even smoking marijuana and drinking the morning of the crime, and clearly knew his conduct was wrong. Dr, Michael Arambula, M.D., Pharm.D., a forensic psychiatrist and pharmacist, agreed that Routh was intoxicated at the time of the crime, was not insane, and knew his conduct was wrong. Both doctors opined that the defendant's claims of insanity were highly suspicious, given his track record of claiming a mental illness or PTSD to get out of trouble. Routh had previously threatened to shoot his family and held a girlfriend and her roommate at knifepoint. When police were called, family members convinced police to transport Routh to a psychiatric hospital instead of jail. Records showed at each hospitalization, Routh tested positive for illegal drug use.
"The biggest fallacy of this trial is that Eddie Routh committed this brutal crime because of PTSD. Many members of the armed services who have honorably served our country have every right to receive services for PTSD. But to claim that PTSD causes a person to commit murder is a disservice both to veterans and those who suffer from mental illness," said Erath County District Attorney Alan Nash.
"This trial was a team effort of multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Texas Rangers Division, Erath County Sheriff's Office, Stephenville Police Department, Somervell Sheriff's Office, the Department of Public Safety, Lancaster Police Department, Midlothian Police Department, and NCIS. So many investigators and officers put in countless hours on this case, and were dedicated to the successful prosecution. The public is safer because of good law enforcement work.
"I am also grateful to the Attorney General's Office for assisting in this prosecution. When Assistant Attorney General Jane Starnes responded to our request for assistance, I knew we would be well prepared for trial. Now that I've worked alongside Ms. Starnes in preparing and presenting this important case, there is no doubt that Jane Starnes is one of the premier prosecutors in the State of Texas," said Nash.
"We also wish to commend Sheriff Bryant and his office, Chief King and the Stephenville Police Department, District Clerk Wanda Pringle and her staff, and all the county officials and law enforcement agencies from around the region who assisted in making this a secure, orderly, and fair trial for both the State and the defendant," said Nash.

Global Health is a topic of increased political and public interest. One reason is that disease outbreaks, such as the Ebola crisis few years ago in West Africa and again recently in the Democratic Republic of Congo, have attracted international attention.
To further shape Germany's international leadership in this area, the Federal Government will develop a new Global Health Strategy. The Federal Ministry of Health (Bundesministerium für Gesundheit – BMG) is working in close partnership with other relevant ministries in this process. Actors from different sectors of the German society are invited to participate.
The development process began with on Wednesday, 6th June 2018, when the Federal Ministry of Health hosted an official launching event. The GHP accompanies the process in behalf of the actors from the private sector.
The coordinators facilitating this process for each of the groups – representing civil society, think tanks, private sector, academia and youth – presented their position papers on Wednesday, 5th September 2018. The coordinator for the GHP, representing the private actors in Global Health, is Dr Alois Dörlemann, GHP Speaker.
Now, the interministerial discussions and coordination on the priorities and objectives of the strategy of the German government will begin. The aim is to adopt the new strategy by the end of 2019.

Even those that haven't watched the movie Zootopia, the iconic scene depicted above is probably resonating with some of our own experiences with systems that seem to thrive on delay. Time isn't, of course, money, but it is still a very precious commodity for most of us to be squandered uselessly. Which is why mobile speed is becoming increasingly important for those 80-90% of people using mobile apps on their smartphone. Essentially, all of us.
You may find it surprising that In a recently published report by DoubleClick (a subsidiary of Google which develops and provides Internet ad serving services) they found out that the average load time for mobile sites is achingly slow at no less than 19 seconds over 3G connections!
If you think about it you will remember cases where you simply gave up after about 5 seconds. In fact, according to the same report 53% of mobile site visits are abandoned if pages take longer than 3 seconds to load. The rest, I guess are just patient enough to fume the whole eternity of those 19 seconds just to discover the page it's what they were searching after all. Nearly half of users say that sloth-like pages is their top dislike the most when browsing the mobile web.
Is it my phone? Is it my connection? (Is it me? - yes, that too! Some people seem to think that every single bit of tech has enough self-awareness to do intentionally annoying things!). Well, your best guess would be to blame the mobile site itself. How many "sloths" are there? Plenty for all! 3 out of 4 mobile sites take longer than 10 seconds to load!
It isn't just the user that is hurting; think about the losses incurred by businesses. Turning to the report again we find that: "...our model projects that publishers whose mobile sites load within 5 seconds earn up to 2X greater mobile ad revenue than those whose sites load within 19 seconds". Mobile developers such as AppzBizz can extol the virtues and the necessity of opening a new mobile frontline, but the reality of those 19 seconds hits hard and it isn't unreasonable to ask if it's worth the investment.
ke Solutions answer: Yes, it is!
Because, fundamentally, the problem isn't in the environment but in your hands (or in the hand of the developer(s) you hire). If you do a good and proper job, the mobile website or app can be made fast, but that's not to say it's easy and unfortunately not everyone is willing or able to do it.
Bottom line: If you have a mobile website or app that loads in less that 5 seconds you are way ahead of your competition. At ke Solutions we know how to make it happen!

Sen. Murphy: Assault Weapon Ban Would Have Reduced Vegas Shooting Deaths

Fewer people would have died in the Las Vegas shooting attack if a ban on assault weapons had still been in place, according to Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., during an appearance on the CBS News podcast, "The Takeout."
Stephen Paddock, who killed 58 people, passed background checks to obtain the weapons he used in the attack.
"But what if he did not have an assault weapon? What if the assault weapons ban still applied? What if he was up in that hotel with a pistol or a shotgun or a non-semiautomatic rifle? Maybe he would have gone through with the crime, but I guarantee you less people would be dead," Murphy asked on the podcast.
Murphy was the congressman that represented Newtown, Connecticut when a shooter killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012. He referenced an assault weapons ban from former President Bill Clinton's administration in 1994, which expired in 2004, according to CBS News.
"I also think there's an interesting question about the kind of bizarre, perverse confidence that is given to a killer when they have tactical-style machinery," Murphy said on the podcast.
Gun control advocates such as the Brady Campaign and Gabby Giffords' Americans for Responsible Solutions have not been effective at promoting gun control, Murphy said.
"The Democratic Party was culpable in this respect. There was a mythology built up after 1994 that Democrats lost their seats because of their vote on the crime bill that included the assault weapons ban. I've looked at all the data and I'll tell you that's not the case," said the senator.
The senator hopes to evolve the Democratic message in the future, including working on an entity that can step up and counter the National Rifle Association. "We just can't make a playing field that's as big as the NRA," Murphy said on the podcast.
"Until members actually fear losing their seat over voting against the 90 percent of constituents that actually want universal background checks, it's going to be tough sledding," he added.
Following the Las Vegas shooting, Murphy said it was time for Congress to "get off its ass and do something."

Can you tell me how I can uninstall Win32Whois?
@smit - you don't have to uninstall. The application never "installs" itself. All you have to do is delete the files you originally downloaded if you do not want to use it.
@Gena01 - I like your program, thank you for making it. I have a request for a minor update if possible.
Can it be set up so you can modify the whois server reference list? Like say all I want are the reports from the official organizations so all I would need for a north american search is www.arin.net's report.
- Like the Go button that starts the domain look up, how about a button that would allow us to open the domain/hostname/IP in a web browser? Just a thought.
For what it's worth, I think the status bars look fine just the way they are.
Thanks for what you do, it is great!
At this time the latest version of whois doesn't work with .RU domains.

Everything We Know About The Trump-Russia Controversy So Far
By Korey Lane
If there's something everyone can agree on, it's that 2017 has kind of been a little... confusing, to say the least. Since the inauguration of President Donald Trump, American politics haven't really been smooth sailing. Sometimes it honestly seems that each day brings with it a new scandal involving the Trump administration. And as news broke again on Sunday evening that Donald Trump Jr. met with a Russian lawyer, things have become even more convoluted and frustrating. So let's break it all down; Here's everything we know about the Trump-Russia controversy so far, because it's honestly ridiculous.
The latest development in the story of possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign/members of the administration features Trump's oldest son, Donald Jr., meeting with a Russian lawyer in 2016 after being promised damaging information about Trump's opponent, Hillary Clinton. (Romper has reached out to the White House for comments on these claims and is awaiting a response.) In any other situation, it would've been entirely explosive — and make no mistake, this is definitely surreal — yet, long before the news of that meeting broke, intelligence officials had already confirmed that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election, in more ways than one. The question now is, who helped them and why?
Both Republicans and Democrats alike agree that Russian interference in the 2016 election and possibly beyond posed and continues to pose a serious threat to our democracy. As of now, the entire story of what exactly happened is still unknown. But with stories like the one The New York Times broke on Saturday, and its further reports on Sunday, a fuller picture is finally starting to emerge.
Here's what we do know so far.
Donald Trump Jr. Met With A Russian Lawyer In June 2016
As The New York Times reported Saturday, and then again on Sunday evening, Trump Jr. allegedly met with a Russian lawyer who "promised compromising information about Mrs. Clinton." His reps have not denied the meeting took place.
The meeting was also attended by Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul J. Manafort (who was dismissed at the peak of the election), and Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner. In a statement about the meeting, Trump Jr. said:
After pleasantries were exchanged, the woman stated that she had information that individuals connected to Russia were funding the Democratic National Committee and supporting Ms. Clinton. Her statements were vague, ambiguous and made no sense. No details or supporting information was provided or even offered. It quickly became clear that she had no meaningful information.
The Lawyer Trump Jr. Met With Has A "History Of Pushing The Kremlin's Agenda"
Per The New York Times report, the lawyer that Donald Trump Jr. met with was Natalia Veselnitskaya, whose "activities and associations had previously drawn the attention of the FBI." Veselnitskaya allegedly told Trump Jr. that she would give him compromising information about Clinton, although neither Trump Jr. nor Veselnitskaya confirmed whether that information was actually shared during the meeting.
Veselnitskaya is also fairly infamous for "mounting a multipronged attack against the Magnitsky Act," as The New York Times reported. The Magnitsky Act is a bipartisan bill passed back in 2012 that seeks to serve justice for the death of Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, who died "in mysterious circumstances in a Russian prison after exposing one of the biggest corruption scandals during Mr. Putin's rule," The Times reported. In short, it was meant to punish those allegedly involved with his death by putting them on a shortlist of "offenders," which obviously the Kremlin did not like. (Moscow responded by banning the adoption of Russian children by U.S. couples.)
Paul J. Manafort & Jared Kushner Were Also Present
As mentioned, both Manafort and Kushner were also present during the meeting with Veselnitskaya, although Veselnitskaya recalled, according to The Times, that "after about 10 minutes, either Mr. Kushner or Mr. Manafort walked out." Trump Jr. also disclosed that he did not inform Kushner or Manafort what the meeting was supposed to be about. Neither of the other attendees have previously disclosed the meeting when asked about any foreign contacts.
Since then, Kushner's lawyer has released the following statement:
Mr. Kushner has submitted additional updates and included, out of an abundance of caution, this meeting with a Russian person, which he briefly attended at the request of his brother-in-law Donald Trump Jr. As Mr. Kushner has consistently stated, he is eager to cooperate and share what he knows.
As for Manafort, no statement has been made regarding his presence at the meeting.
There Is No Current Evidence That Trump Himself Was Involved In Any Russian Hacking
As just about everyone in the Trump administration has made certain to inform reporters, Trump himself reportedly had no knowledge of the alleged meeting with the Russian lawyer. As The Times reported, a spokesman for the president's lawyer, Mark Corallo, said on Sunday that "the president was not aware of and did not attend the meeting."
Multiple Trump Administration Staffers Have Been Linked To Russia
Along with Kushner, Michael Flynn (who Trump fired), Jeff Sessions, Rex Tillerson, Carter Page, and Ivanka Trump have all been tied in some way to Russia and Putin, and several of them are currently under investigation for those alleged ties. Notably, Flynn was reportedly previously paid more than $65,000 by companies with extensive links to Russia.
If you're still confused at this point, don't worry — it's a pretty tangled web. The most important thing to understand is that things will only get more complicated from here on out — and no matter what happens in the end, it's bad news for everyone.

Dad at the Movies
December 10, 2019 / Dave Taylor / Dad at the Movies / No Comments
Zathura: A Space Adventure, the 2005 sequel to the original 1995 Jumanji, proved to be a rather weird story, erring on the side of intense and frightening rather than funny and ingenious. The original Jumanji featured the mad antics of Robin Williams, making it tough to remake, but 2017's Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle was a surprise hit for Columbia Pictures, earning a solid 87% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Always charismatic Dwayne Johnson headed a splendid cast in a story where the gamers were pulled into an immersive alternate reality with a video game sensibility but dangers all its own.
For Jumanji: The Next Level, everyone's back, starting with the four kids who have all now graduated high school and proceeded with their individual lives. They are the dorky Spencer (Alex Wolff), now a freshman at NYU, now-popular Martha (Morgan Turner), charity worker Bethany (Madison Iseman) and Fridge (Ser'Darius Blain), a budding college football star. Bethany and Martha have remained close friends and suggest to the other two that they meet up for brunch during their mutual Christmas breaks. Fridge is in, but Spencer remains quiet; he's having a tough time in New York City and has even suggested that he and Martha "take a break" from their relationship as a result. Very contemporary, very believable.
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle ended with them ceremoniously destroying the game system and that dangerous Jumanji game cartridge, but Spencer secretly saved all the pieces and later reassembled the game. He heads home for Christmas break and finds that his grandfather Eddie (a hilarious Danny DeVito) has moved in to recover from hip surgery. Eddie has his own issues, both the health challenges of getting older and his estranged relationship with former business partner Milo (Danny Glover). Milo really wants to mend things and Eddie's avoiding the issue. Milo shows up at the door after multiple calls are ignored and the resultant breakfast is quite funny and poignant both.
When Spencer is a no show at Christmas brunch, his friends get justifiably concerned. They head to his house to ensure all is okay, just to be shocked to find the Jumanji game in the basement and Spencer's abandoned cellphone. Before you can say "watch out!" they're pulled into the game world again. But not quite as you'd expect: Eddie, Milo, Fridge and Martha are suddenly inhabiting the adventurer avatars of Dr. Smolder Bravestone (Dwayne Johnson), Professor Oberon (Jack Black), Mouse Finbar (Kevin Hart) and Ruby Roundhouse (Karen Gillan). Spencer, they eventually learn, has shown up in the game as the Asian cat burglar Ming Fleetfoot (Awkwafina). But where's Bethany?
Mouse (Kevin Hart), Bravestone (Dwayne Johnson), Prof. Oberon (Jack Black) and Roundhouse (Karen Gillan), from "Jumanji: The Next Level"
With movies like Ready Player One offering astonishing visuals in a virtual world, the challenge for the Jumanji: The Next Level team was to simultaneously deliver great visual effects while keeping the story lively and funny. For the most part, director Jake Kasdan manages just that, with plenty of laughs (did I mention how hilarious DeVito is as cranky grandpa Eddie?) and some impressive action scenes. It's not perfect, the ostrich stampede might not have looked quite right, and the floating bridge mandrill attack got blurry at times, but overall, it's really good fun.
Where the movie's best is when the characters are interacting, both their avatar personalities and the underlying characters from the real world, with their concerns and fears about moving into adulthood. The scenes with Jurgen the Brutal (Rory McCann) are particularly excellent, especially Jurgen's interaction with Ruby as they slam through the room. And, of course, Bravestone (Johnson) is funny just about every time he's on screen, particularly when he's channelling DeVito's grumbly grandpa persona, but I admit it, I'm a Dwayne Johnson fan too.
The biggest problem with Jumanji: The Next Level is pacing. It's hard to keep a movie on full throttle for two hours and some of the quieter, calmer scenes run on a bit too long, or try to be too serious, result in moments that come across a bit cliché and superficial in an action comedy.
Still, I really enjoyed Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and I think that this sequel does a very good job of picking up the story and offering up some new ideas (body swaps!) while leaning heavily on the formula that made the first so entertaining. Jumanji: The Next Level is a good, not great, addition to the franchise, it's definitely worth seeing, and I hope that we'll get a third movie in a few years too.
Dad At The Movie Note: This is a fun, loud, silly movie with very little tension, a solid PG-13 that you can easily take your pre-teens and even younger ones to see. Too young and some of the scenes might come across as too frightening (the monkeys are pretty scary if you don't realize it's all just in fun), however. And you'll enjoy it too, which is a boon.

Art Critique
Tanja Dursun was born in Sarajevo where she finished High School of Applied Arts, department of advertising graphics. She graduated from Academy of Fine Arts in Trebinje, department Graphics, in 2000 ans she finished her Master's in 2007 at Academy of Arts in banja Luka.
Tanja Dursun
Tanja Dursun was born in Sarajevo where she finished High School of Applied Arts, department of advertising graphics. She graduated from Academy of Fine Arts in Trebinje, department Graphics, in 2000 ans she finished her Master's in 2007 at Academy of Arts in banja Luka, department of Fine Arts, majoring in drawing, with the teme 'A drawing on the frontier of abstract and recognizable'.
In additional to the successful creative work in the fields of drawing, painting and graphics, she is also a graphic designer.
She worked as a senior assistant at the Music Academy of the University of Eastern Sarajevo for the subject Art history from 2002-2013. At the moment she is employed as a professor of art and art history in High School 'Eastern Ilidza'.
Tanja Dursun's many works are in public and private collection both in the country and abroad ( Italy, France, USA...) she is a memeber of the Association of Artists of Eastern Herzegovina (ULUIH ) ' Milorad Corovic'.
When someone steps in into the demanding waters of artistic researching, and at the same time wishes to give his contribution in innovation in certain area that is consequently transferred into artists obsession, the heaviness of his task is more than evident.
To move in the area of nonfigurative art where the center is put on pure expression of shapes, lines or colors, with no associations on material world, the intensive research of creative possibilities can take the artist into the sphere of vagueness and indefinable. Or the author's impression can be taken as arbitrarily chosen act of aesthetic doctrine manifested as insuperable artist praxis.
Tanja Dursun, academic painter, has chosen the painting with the abundance in it, with deposited tradition and its plenitude, kinetic quality, energy and dominance so that she could take the realistic template into the act of fission and set the drawing to the border of realistic and abstract. Series of drawings appeared as the product of Tanja's research and her own understanding of art and energy potentials of drawing itself. They gave us visible appearance of primary qualities collected into reduced notes that artist left on the paper.
Her hermetic compositions suddenly get opened to let the painting have its own pulse, life and movement in a wide bow – from informal through painters' gesture, sign and symbol to become elaborated in possible associative abstraction when the artist brings in new materials giving them totally different quality.
The streams of energy become visible only in Tanja's analytic determination of systems and organization of the drawing-painting. Powerfully, without fear of intensity of emotion, painter goes into the game of focusing maps of visual and spiritual reactions, inspired by her own life. Restlessness creates the draft, polygon of passion where the calligraphic refinement and colorful note confront each other. It moves the act of painting and drawing in the process of fusion where the asymmetry of shapelessness is the sort of colorist battlefield between rhythmical calligraphy and exceptionally colored arabesque.
Structures created in such manner have emphasized independence which excludes myth, metaphor and narration and sets to the fore the architectonics of the painting which is independent and seemingly deformed and as such respires with modern drawing-collage in the sixties and seventies of the twentieth century.
Kandinski says: The freer shape sounds purer and more primitive. In composition, the physical is more or less superfluous and can be omitted or replaced by abstract. Whatsoever, in transferring and composing the material into abstract, the memory should be the only judge, leader and measure for artist. And indeed, as much as the artist uses the abstract shapes he feels himself more and more at home and each time flows deeper in it. In the same hand, the viewer led by the artist, collects more and more knowledge of the language of abstraction and in the end, overmasters it.
For Tanja Dursun, overmastering the language of painting means to be familiar with the development of modern art of the twentieth century as well as to have broad and open spirit capable to all the intensity spread by her. The base of her composition is on relativity and variability of each shape.
So, Creative fission activates our sensible potentials and leads us into the world of drawing which is on the thin line between realistic and abstract and where we try to discover abstract by knowing realistic.
The courage with which the artist came into this complex game confirms that in art (NOWADAYS) there is no word must be, and that art is eternally free. As Vasilij Kandinski wrote: THE ART RUNS AWAY FROM "MUST BE" FORM AS THE DAY RUNS AWAY FROM THE NIGHT.

It was a memorable season opener for East Ridge as the No. 1 ranked Raptors faced off with No. 2 Hopkins.
After a back-and-forth game for the first 34 minutes, East Ridge pulled out with the lead to end the game comfortably with a big win and a confidence boost.
"I liked our determination and chemistry on the court," said head coach Bryce Tesdahl. "We kept fighting and it really took a team to get this win."
Tesdahl said the first eight minutes Hopkins took a lead and the Raptors had to fight back to regain the lead and keep it at the half. East Ridge had a 34-30 lead heading into the second half.
The Raptors were able to hold that lead the majority of the second half due to the performance by Kendall Brown. Brown finished the game with 26 points, but he scored 18 of them in the second half.
Tesdahl said Brown was all over the court with layups, dunks and 3-pointers. Brown wasn't the only one to contribute in the game as Kourtney Brown Jr., Ben Carlson and Zach Zebrowski all scored in double digits as well.
Brown Jr. had 17 points, while Carlson finished with 15 points and Zebrowski had 13 points. Those four players combined for about 96 percent of the points on Saturday night.
"We worked really well as a team tonight and that was something I was hoping to see," Tesdahl said. "We had so much resilience, which I hope carries into the next game and this season."
The Raptors will return home for their home opener on Wednesday, Dec. 5 at 7 p.m. as they take on North. Then, East Ridge heads to Hopkins High School for the Tip-Off Classic on Saturday, Dec. 8. The Raptors will play at 5:30 p.m. against Prior Lake in the tournament.
"We learned a lot about this team with this win," Tesdahl said. "It's always nice to learn from a win, but hopefully we carry this into next week."
Park had their season opener and home opener on Saturday afternoon, but it was a result the Wolfpack weren't hoping for against Eastview.
Even though the Wolfpack lost 90-66, Park's head coach Mike Weah was happy with how his players played in the first game of the season.
"Eastview is a tough team and is well coached," Weah said. "I'm not upset about the loss because I saw some really good things that we can work on during practice."
The main things he saw that he enjoyed was surrounded by the team chemistry and how they worked together. He also liked the IQ of all the players and using common sense during a game.
Weah calls out plays on the sideline, but when the play doesn't develop the players use their basketball IQ's to make a play. Weah said he can't coach that, but he's glad it's developed into the players.
Now, Weah hopes the players got a little taste of what a game feels like and look like for practice next week. He knows the intensity will rise in practice from each player and he's excited about it.
The Wolfpack received a lot of help from Domenik Block and Charlie Gorres. Block finished the game with 24 points, while Gorres ended with 16 points. These two scored over half the points for Park on Saturday.
"I'm excited to see what we can do in practice over the next week," Weah said. "Then, see it translate into a game."
Park will be able to show it in a game on Tuesday, Dec. 4 at 7:30 p.m. as the Wolfpack host Hudson. Then, the Wolfpack travels to Hastings at 7 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 7.
