George Bird Grinnell
On a Buffalo Horse
I had lived twelve winters when I did something which made my mother and all my relations glad; for which they all praised me, and which first caused my name to be called aloud through the camp.
It was the fall of the year, and the leaves were dropping from the trees. Long ago the grass had grown yellow; and now sometimes when we awoke in the morning it was white with frost; little places in the river bottom, where water had stood in the springtime, and which were still wet, were frozen in the morning; and all the quiet waters had over them a thin skin of clear ice. Great flocks of water birds were passing overhead, flying to the south; and many of them stopped in the streams, resting and feeding. There were ducks of many sorts, and the larger geese, and the great white birds with black tips to their wings, and long yellow bills; and the cranes that fly over, far up in the sky, looking like spots, but whose loud callings are heard plainly as they pass along. Often we saw flocks of these walking on the prairie, feeding on the grasshoppers; and sometimes they all stopped feeding and stuck up their heads, and then began to dance together, almost as people dance.
We boys used to travel far up and down the bottom, trying to creep up to the edge of the bank, or to the puddles of water, where the different birds sat, to get close enough to kill them with our arrows. It was not easy to do this, for generally the birds saw us before we could get near enough; and then, often, even if we had the chance to shoot, we missed, and the birds flew away, and we had to wade out and get back our arrows.
One day I had gone with my friend a long way up the river, and we had tried several times to kill ducks, but had always missed them. We had come to a place where the point of a hill ran down close to the river, on our side, and as we rounded the point of this hill, suddenly we saw close before us three cranes, standing on the hillside; two of them were gray and further off, but one quite near to us was still red, by which we knew that it was a young one. I was ahead of my friend, and as soon as I saw the cranes I drew my arrow to its head, and shot at the young one, which spread its wings and flew a few yards, and then came down, lying on the hillside, with its wings stretched wide, for the arrow had passed through its body. I rushed upon it and seized it, while the old cranes flew away. Then I was glad, for this was the largest bird that I had ever killed; and you know that the crane is a wise bird, and people do not often kill one.
After my friend and I had talked about it, I picked up the bird and put it on my back, holding the neck in one hand, and letting the legs drag on the ground behind me; and so we returned to camp. When we reached the village some of the children saw us coming, and knew me, and ran ahead to my mother's lodge, and told her that her boy was coming, carrying a great bird; and she and my sisters came out of the lodge and looked at me. I must have looked strange, for the crane's wings were partly spread, and hung down on either side of me; and when I had nearly come to the lodge, my mother called out: "What is the great bird that is coming to our lodge? I am afraid of it," and then she and the children ran in the door. Then they came out again, and when I reached the lodge, all looked at the bird, and said how big it was, and how fine, and that it must be shown to my uncle before it was cooked. They sent word to him, asking him to come to the lodge, and soon he did so, and when he saw what I had killed, he was glad, and told me that I had done well, and that I was lucky to have killed a crane. "There are many grown men," said he, "who have never killed a crane; and you have done well. I wish to have this known."
He called out in a loud voice, and asked Bellowing Cow, a poor old woman, to come to the lodge and see what his son had done; and he sent one of the boys back to his lodge, telling him to bring a certain horse. Soon the boy returned, leading a pony; and when Bellowing Cow had come, my uncle handed her the rope that was about the pony's neck, and told her to look at this bird that his son had killed.
"We have had good luck," he said; "my son has killed this wise bird; he is going to be a good hunter, and will kill much meat. In the time to come, after he has grown to be a man, his lodge will never lack food. His women will always have plenty of robes to dress."
Then Bellowing Cow mounted her horse and rode around the village, singing a song, in which she told how lucky I had been; that I had killed a crane, a bird that many grown men had not killed; and that I was going to be a good hunter, and always fortunate in killing food. My uncle did not give the bird to Bellowing Cow; he kept it, and told my mother to cook it; and he said to her: "Save for me the wing bones of this bird, and give them to me, in order that I may make from them two war whistles, which my son may carry when he has grown old enough to go to war against his enemies."
I was proud of what had happened, and it made me feel big to listen to this poor old woman as she rode through the village singing her song.
What he did at this time showed some things about my uncle. It showed that he liked me; it showed that he was proud of what I had done; and it showed, too, that he was a person of good heart, since he called to see what I had done a poor old woman who had nothing, and gave her a horse. It would have been as easy for him to have called some chief or rich man who had plenty of horses, and then sometime this chief or rich man would have given him a horse for some favor done him.
I had killed the crane with a pointed arrow, of which I had three, though in my hunting for little birds I still used blunt arrows. My uncle had made me another bow, which was almost as large as a man's bow; and I was practicing with it always, trying to make my right arm strong, to bend it, so that it might send the arrow with full force.
The next summer, when the tribe had started off to look for buffalo, I spoke one night to my uncle, as he was sitting alone in his lodge, and said to him: "Father, is it not now time for me to try to kill buffalo? I am getting now to be a big boy, and I think big enough to hunt. I should like to have your opinion about this." For a time he sat smoking and considering, and then he said: "Son, I think it is time you should begin to hunt; you are now old enough to do some of the things that men do. I have watched you, and I have seen that you know how to use the bow. The next time that we run buffalo, you shall come with me, and we will see what we can do. You shall ride one of my buffalo horses, and you shall overtake the buffalo, and then we shall see whether you are strong enough to drive the arrow far into the animal."
It was not long after this that buffalo were found, and when the tribe went out to make the surround, my uncle told me to ride one of his horses, and to keep close to him. As we were going toward the place where the surround was to be made, he said to me: "Now, to-day we will try to catch calves, and you shall see whether you can kill one. You may remember this, that if you shoot an arrow into the calf, and blood begins to come from its mouth, it will soon die, you need not shoot at it again, but may go on to overtake another, and kill it. Then, perhaps, after a little while you can chase big buffalo. One thing you must remember. If you are running buffalo, do not be afraid of them. Ride your horse close up to the buffalo, as close as you can, and then let fly the arrow with all your force. If the buffalo turns to fight, your horse will take you away from it; but, above all things, do not be afraid; you will not kill buffalo if you are afraid to get close to them."
We rode on, and before the surround was made we could see the yellow calves bunched up at one side of the herd. My uncle pointed them out to me, and said, "Now, when the herd starts, try to get among those calves, and remember all that I have told you."
At length the soldiers gave the word for the charge, and we all rushed toward the buffalo. They turned to run, and a great dust rose in the air. That day there were many men on fast horses, but my uncle's horse was faster than all; and because I was little and light, he ran through the big buffalo, and was soon close to the calves. When he was running through the buffalo I was frightened, for they seemed so big, and they crowded so on each other, and their horns rattled as they knocked together, as the herd parted and pushed away on either side, letting me pass through it.
In only a short time I was running close to a yellow calf. It ran very fast, and for a little while I could not overtake it; but then it seemed to go slower, and my horse drew up close to it. I shot an arrow and missed it, and then another, and did not miss; the arrow went deep into it, just before the short ribs, and a moment afterward I could see blood coming from the calf's mouth; and I ran on to get another. I did kill another, and then stopped and got down. The herd had passed, and I began to butcher the last calf; and before I had finished my uncle rode up to me and said, "Well, son, did you kill anything?" I told him that I had killed two calves; and we went back and looked for the other. He helped me to butcher, and we put the meat and skins of both calves on my horse and then returned to the camp.
When we reached there, my uncle stood in front of the lodge, and called out with a loud voice, saying: "This day my son has chased buffalo, and has killed two calves. I have given one of my best horses to Red Fox." This he called out several times, and at the same time he sent a young man to his lodge, telling him to bring a certain good horse, which he named. Before very long the young man came with the horse, and about the same time the old man Red Fox, who was poor and lame, and without relations, was seen limping toward the lodge, coughing as he came.
In his young days Red Fox had been a brave and had done many good things, but he had been shot in the thigh, in battle, and his leg had never healed, so that he could not go to war. After that, his wife and then his children one by one had died, or been killed in battle, and now he had nothing of his own, but lived in the lodge with friends—people who were kind to him. After Red Fox had mounted his horse, and had ridden off about the circle of the lodges, singing a song, in which he told what I had done, and how my uncle was proud of my success, and of how good his heart was toward poor people, so that when he made gifts he gave them to persons who had nothing, and not to people who were rich and happy, my uncle turned about and went into the lodge. He told the young man who had brought the horse to go out and call a number of his friends, and older people, to come that night to his lodge, to feast with him.
After they had come, and all had eaten, and while the pipe was being smoked, my uncle said: "Friends, I have called you to eat with me, because this day my son has killed two calves. He has done well, and I can see that he will be a good man. His lodge will not be poor for meat nor will his wife lack skins to tan, or hides for lodge skins. We have had good luck, and to-day my heart is glad; and it is for this reason that I have asked you to come and hear what my son has done, in order that you may be pleased, as I am pleased."
When he had finished speaking, Double Runner, an old man, whose hair was white, stood up on his feet and spoke, and said that I had done well. He spoke good words of my uncle because he had a kind heart and was generous, and liked to make people happy. He spoke also of my father, and said that it was bad for the tribe when the enemy killed him; but, nevertheless, he had died fighting, as a brave man would wish to die.
I killed many a buffalo and my mother dressed the hides.
From that time on, so long as the buffalo were seen, I went out with the men of the camp. Sometimes I went alone, or with companions of my own age, and we tried to kill calves, but more than once I went with my uncle. The second time I rode with him he said to me that I had killed calves, and now I must try to kill big buffalo. I remembered what he had said about riding close to the buffalo, but I was afraid to do this, and yet I was ashamed to tell him that I was afraid. When the surround was made, my uncle and I were soon among the buffalo. I was riding my uncle's fast buffalo horse. My uncle rode on my right hand, and when we charged down and got among the buffalo we soon passed through the bulls and then drew up slowly on the cows, and those younger animals whose horns were yet straight. I thought we were going to pass on through these, and kill calves, but suddenly my uncle crowded his horse up close to me, and, pointing to a young bull, signed to me to shoot it. I did not want to, but my uncle kept crowding his horse more and more on me, and pushing me close to the bull. I was afraid of it; I thought that perhaps it would turn its head toward me and frighten my horse, and my horse could not get away because of my uncle's horse, and then my horse, and perhaps I, myself, would be killed; but there was not much time to think about it. I felt that I was not strong enough to kill a buffalo; I did not want to try; but all the time my uncle was signing to me, "Shoot, shoot." There was no way for me to escape, and I drew the arrow and shot into the buffalo. The point hit the animal between the ribs, and went in deep, yet not to the feathers. When I shot, my uncle sheered off, and I followed him; and in a moment, looking back, I saw that the blood was coming from the bull's nose and mouth; and then I knew that I had killed it. In a few moments it fell, and I went back to it. Then truly I thought that I had done something great, and I felt glad that I had killed a big buffalo. I forgot that a little while before I had been frightened, and had wanted to get away without shooting. I forgot that, except for my uncle, I should not have made this lucky shot. I felt as if I had done something, and something that was very smart and great. You see, I was only a boy.
This feeling did not last very long; after a little I remembered that except for my uncle I should have still been afraid of big buffalo, and should not have dared to go near enough to kill one, but should have been content to kill calves. My mind was still big for what I had done, and I felt thankful to my uncle for making me do it. I wanted to pass my hands over him—to express my gratitude to him—for all his kindness to me. No father could have done more for me than he had done, and always did.
That night when we came back to the camp my horse was carrying a great pile of meat; and when I stopped in front of the lodge, I called out to my mother to come and take my horse, and take the meat from it; for so my uncle had told me to do. "Now," he said, "you have become a man; you are able to hunt, and to kill food, and you must act as a man acts."
When my mother came out of the lodge she was astonished; she could hardly believe that it was I who had killed this buffalo. Nevertheless, she took the rope from me, and began to take the meat from the horse; and I went into the lodge and lay down on the bed by the fire to rest, for this too was what my uncle had told me to do.
The next time the camp made a surround, I rode alone, and this time I did not do so well. It is true that I killed a cow, but also I shot another animal, which carried away three of my arrows. It was afterward killed by a man a long way off, and the next day he gave me back my arrows, which he had taken from the cow. I felt ashamed of this, but, nevertheless, I kept on, and before the hunt was over I killed many buffalo, and my mother dressed the hides.

Q: wishy-washy (what is wishy?) (can't find the meaning of 'wishy')
wishy-washy

What's wishy? (Can't find the meaning of 'wishy')
'washy'means 'overdiluted, watery, or weak'

A: This is a slang term formed by reduplication. Similar examples include

chit-chat, clip-clop, ding-dong, flimflam, mishmash, ping-pong, and zig-zag

Cambridge suggests this definition:

lacking in firm ideas, principles, or the ability to make a decision:

Clearly, wishy-washy is derived from the meaning of washy that you quote in your question. If you lack firm principles, it is because—figuratively speaking—your principles are overdiluted or weak.

"In the heaven of our soul let us be praises of glory of the Holy Trinity, praises of love of our Immaculate Mother. One day the veil will fall, we will be introduced into the eternal courts, and there we will sing in the bosom of infinite Love. And God will give us 'the new name promised to the Victor.' What will it be?"

Excerpts from his many letters can be found in several categories in this blog, especially "The Sea," as he used the sea as a common metaphor for spiritual principles.
"Let us get to the essential point of your letter which concerns your soul. The obscurity that you sense is a sign, as I told you at other times, that God wishes more recollection from you in pure faith, and I would wish that you often center yourself in your interior, and with a lively faith take your repose on the bosom of God like a baby in a sacred silence of faith and holy love. Every time your soul recollects itself in God, in the inner temple of your soul, it is born anew to a new life of love in the Divine Word Jesus Christ. I pray the Lord to help you understand and practice what I am teaching. In this recollection in the flame of holy love all the remains of sin are destroyed and the soul is renewed in God."

She is one of several Carmelite saints named "Teresa". The others include St. Teresa of Avila, St. Teresa Margaret of the Sacred Heart (of Florence), St. Thérèse of Lisieux, and St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein). There are also beatified Carmelite "Teresa's", including Bl. Teresa of St. Augustine, who was among the nuns of Compiègne who died in the wake of the French Revolution, Bl. Teresa of the Child Jesus St. John of the Cross, and Bl. Teresa Maria of the Cross. Both Bl. Teresa of St. Augustine and Bl. Teresa of the Child Jesus St. John of the Cross were martyrs.
The man now known as "Brother Lawrence of the Resurrectin" was born as Nicholas Herman in French Loraine around 1611. He never had much formal education. When he was eighteen years old, in winter, Nicholas saw a leafless tree and began thinking about the coming spring and the tree's spring renewal, bringing flowers and fruit. The thought gave him a view of God's providence and power, and a great love for God, which never left him thereafter. It prompted his conversion.
As a young man, Nicholas served for a while as a soldier and as footman to M. Fieubert, the treasurer. He said he was "awkward" in the job, and said he broke everything.
In 1666, he became a lay brother among the Discalced Carmelites in Paris. From then on, he was known as "Brother Lawrence." At the monastary, he worked for at least 15 years as the cook. He did not like the work. However, he believed that it was necessary to adhere to God as strictly in action as one does in prayer. He said the time of business did not differ from the time of prayer. In the noise and clatter, and with various people calling for different things at the same time, he possessed God "in as great tranquility as if I were upon my knees at the blessed sacrament." (Conversations, fourth conversation).
As cook, Brother Lawrence traveled to other parts of France at least twice to buy wine for the Monastery. He did not like the task, since he had no interest in business negotiations and because he was lame. He could only move around the boat by rolling himself over the casks. However, he told God that he was about His business, and afterward he was pleased with the results.
Theological debates bored him. He complained that some people exercise their mind in reason and science, forgetting that there they can see only a copy, while they "neglect to gaze on the Incomparable Original." Indeed, the practical simplicity of Brother Lawrence's remarks endear people to him. He had only one message, repeated different ways, which was the importance of experiencing the presence of God, and of God's love, in the depth of one's soul.
Formalistic spiritual exercises also held no interest for Brother Lawrence. He said that many do not make progress because they get stuck in penances and exercises, while they neglect the love of God, which is the point of all such things. (Conversations, third conversation). He saw no need for a spiritual director to help him with his life of prayer. He felt that all the guidance he needed for the inner life of loving God with all his heart was in the Gospels.
In his last days, Brother Lawrence felt great pain in his side, but joy continued to be seen in his face and in his speech. He asked the monks to turn him onto his painful side to satisfy a desire to suffer, to "bear just a little for the love of God." He died on February 12, 1691, at the age of 80.
After Brother Lawrence's death, his letters and maxims were collected and published by a contemporary whose identity is not fully certain, but who is thought to have been M. Beaufort. The same person also wrote a summary of Brother Lawrence's teachings, compiled under the name "Conversations," and a short biography entitled "The Character of Brother Lawrence." The "Character" states that it was written about two years after Brother Lawrence's death. The conversations and letters are known together as On the Practice of the Presence of God, the best known collection of his sayings. The Maxims were originally published with the letters, but were less widely republished in later years. This short biography was written primarily from those short works.
"Since God is all-powerful, his will embraces everything that happens in the world and in our lives. His will embraces everything that touches or occupies us, whether it is a threat or a task or an event. . . . Each second we live prolongs our existence. Each succeeding second is offered to us as a gift from the hand of God, our omnipotent creator. When we have understood this truth and when we live continually each day in a real state of authentic abandonment, we have at our disposal a new way of ceaselessly communing with God."
- Jacques Bunel, "Hope and Abandonment", from Spiritual Life, Winter 2005, an excerpt from Listen to the Silence: A Retreat with Père Jacques, translated and edited by Francis J. Murphy, ICS Publications, 2005.
"As Brother Lawrence had found such an advantage in walking in the presence of God, it was natural for him to recommend it earnestly to others; but his example was a stronger inducement than any arguments he could propose. His very countenance was edifying, such a sweet and calm devotion appearing in it as could not but affect beholders. And it was observed that in the greatest hurry of business in the kitchen he still preserved his recollection and heavenly-mindedness. He was never hasty nor loitering, but did each thing in its season, with an even, uninterrupted composure and tranquillity of spirit. "The time of business," said he, "does not with me differ from the time of prayer; and in the noise and clatter of my kitchen, while several persons are at the same time calling for different things, I possess God in as great tranquility as if I were upon my knees at the blessed sacrament.""

Porsche Taycan And The Original Moon Rover Have Something In Common
by Sebastian Cenizo Offbeat / Comments
And this year marks half a century between the two.
When you think of electric vehicles, you probably imagine something like the Tesla Model 3. These days, the electric car is becoming more and more popular, which has led to almost every major manufacturer working on their own versions of the car of the future. Even the maker of notoriously unreliable British sports cars, MG, has started work on a new EV, but what you may not have realized is that the electric vehicle is part of mankind's history of exploring space, and 2021 marks 50 years since humans first drove a car on the moon, two years on from 1969 when "one giant leap for mankind" was taken.
Delia Baum
Porsche is celebrating this historic milestone and using it as a way to market the all-electric Taycan Turbo S by reconnecting with one of the individuals who got to drive the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) on the moon, Charles Duke. He was selected as an astronaut in 1966 and was tasked with landing Apollo 16 on the surface of the moon. He was the tenth person to step onto the lunar surface and one of only six who got to experience "one of the most advanced, innovative electric vehicles ever attempted." Now, 50 years on, Duke recalls what the all-wheel-drive LRV was like to drive and gets to experience his first-ever taste of an EV on Earth.
Like the LRV, the Porsche Taycan Turbo S is an all-wheel-drive machine and boasts four-wheel steering. The LRV also had a crude but effective navigation system to help astronauts to find their way back to the Lunar Excursion Module. Porsche compares the Taycan Turbo S to this astonishing EV in many ways, but the biggest difference is in power. While the LRV only made one horsepower, the Taycan Turbo S produces 750. Duke is impressed with Porsche's efforts, saying "This is really high tech." Fortunately, while the LRV cost a whopping $8 million (and is still parked on the moon, in case Elon decides to borrow it), the Taycan Turbo S starts at a relatively affordable $185,000.

What powers do prosecutors have?
Prosecutors have near-unlimited power to make all the most consequential decisions in a criminal case from beginning to end.
Charge. Prosecutors decide whether to charge & what to charge.
Bail. Prosecutors request bail often knowing that a person cannot afford it.
Evidence.
Plea.
What prosecutor means?
1 : a person who institutes a prosecution (as by making an affidavit or complaint charging the defendant) 2 : a government attorney who presents the state's case against the defendant in a criminal prosecution.
What is the purpose of prosecution?
While the judge is entrusted with decision-making power, and he/she cannot initiate judicial process, the prosecutor's primary function is to initiate and conduct criminal action, to act as a party in judicial proceedings and, in many countries, to supervise and direct the police during the investigative phase.
What do you do after an incident of domestic violence?
The victim must go to the family law court as soon as possible to seek a temporary restraining order (TRO). If the incident occurs during court hours on a weekday, the victim may be able to go into court the very same day. If not, they should plan to go into court the very next morning.
What is an example of prosecutorial discretion?
Prosecutorial discretion is when a prosecutor has the power to decide whether or not to charge a person for a crime, and which criminal charges to file. An example of this is a police officer letting you go with a warning when they could have charged you with speeding.
How long does it take a prosecutor to make a decision?
Finally, a judge holds a preliminary hearing where they decide whether or not there's enough evidence to proceed. Prosecutors generally file criminal charges within 3 days, although in some jurisdictions in as few as 2 days.
Can domestic violence cases be dropped?
The answer is no. Once the prosecutor's office has issued a domestic violence charge, the victim has no authority to drop the charges. Therefore, it's the State (and in particular, the prosecutor's office) which will decide whether to move forward with the case or drop the domestic violence charges.
What are the four roles of the prosecution?
What are the four distinct roles of prosecutors? Trial counsel for the police, house counsel for the police, representative of the court, and elected official.
Why are prosecutors so powerful?
Prosecutors are the most powerful officials in the American criminal justice system. The decisions they make, particularly the charging and plea-bargaining decisions, control the operation of the system and often predetermine the outcome of criminal cases.
Who is the single most powerful person in the criminal justice system?
How does a prosecutor decide to file charges?
Typically, prosecutors base their initial charging decisions on the documents sent to them by the arresting police officers (usually called police or arrest reports). The police complete an arrest report soon after they make an arrest and then quickly forward the report to a prosecutor assigned to do case intake.
Can a judge overrule a prosecutor?
The answer is yes. The judge is the official who sentences the defendant. Not the prosecutor.
Can you talk to the prosecutor?
Can I speak with the prosecutor on my case? A: No. Criminal Prosecutors are prohibited from talking to a criminal defendant who is represented by an attorney. Please contact your attorney if you have questions about your case.
Who has more power the judge or jury?
When there is no jury ("bench trial"), the judge makes rulings on both questions of law and of fact. In most continental European jurisdictions, judges have more power in a trial and the role and powers of a jury are often restricted.

Experience resolving community-project conflict prompted his involvement in groundbreaking UN Global Compact work on conflict and revenue transparency.
Social performance management involves the relationships between a company and the various communities in which it operates – the people outside the gates.
In a global economy, it is crucial that those relationships are based on trust and understanding, to avoid conflicts that can become serious enough to delay or derail multibillion-dollar projects.
Social performance is not philanthropy. It is not corporate social responsibility (CSR) or corporate image management. It is based instead on a deep risk assessment that allows companies to manage their projects in terms of their social impacts, such as working conditions, community health and safety, and the treatment of indigenous people.
The growing role of banks and international finance organizations, which have added social performance standards to loan requirements because they recognize the risks of social conflict to the projects they fund.
The increasing ability of local communities to influence a company's decisions and operations. They can go to shareholders or activist groups, for example.
Conducting a rigorous field assessment to understand the real issues for the community and potential risks to the project.
Developing strategies to mitigate those risks and reduce conflicts at the outset.
Establishing a transparent and open grievance resolution system to identify and manage problems before they turn into serious conflicts.
Social performance management is all about how a company communicates with and interacts with local communities, and then being willing to change what they do. Change your behavior, and you will change the outcome.

The Easiest Boss Battles in Video Game History
Ranker Games
Updated June 14, 2019 582 votes 192 voters 11.1k views17 items
Easy video game bosses can either make a game fun or ruin it altogether. Boss battles in video games are meant to be a challenge, to make the player think a little, but if a boss is too easy it could mean that the player will just write off the game.
This list compiles video of some of the easiest boss battles in video game history. Just because the boss battles listed here are easy, doesn't mean that they are bad. Most of the time, easy boss battles happen near the beginning of the game and serve as a warm up for the player, like "Flash Man" from Mega Man 2 or "Gohma" from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Others happen to be the final boss battle and it turns out to be so easy as either a joke (Like in "Portal") or if you have maxed out your character to the extreme ("Final Fantasy VII)
No matter where these boss battles take place, there is no way that they can't be considered some of the easiest boss battle in video game history.

Iran frees wife of detained Washington Post journalist
A file picture shows Iranian-American Washington Post correspondent Jason Rezaian and his Iranian wife Yeganeh Salehi posing while covering a press conference at Iran's Foreign Ministry in Tehran, on Sept 10, 2013. -- PHOTO: AFP
https://str.sg/32Ym
TEHERAN (AFP) - Iran has released an Iranian journalist arrested almost three months ago with her husband, the Washington Post's Teheran correspondent Jason Rezaian, US and Iranian officials said Monday.
Rezaian, who holds dual US-Iranian citizenship, remains in custody but Yeganeh Salehi was freed on bail last week, the official said, confirming an earlier report by the Post.
The couple's detention has attracted considerable attention amid the ongoing talks between Iran and the United States and other world powers over the Islamic republic's disputed nuclear programme. It remains unclear why Rezaian, 38, and Salehi were arrested on July 22 or what charges they are facing.
One conservative newspaper in Teheran has accused Rezaian of espionage. Last month, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Rezaian was being questioned "for what he has done as an Iranian citizen".
"She has been freed," Mohammad Koushesh, director general of the Foreign Media Department at Iran's Ministry of Culture said, referring to Salehi. "We hope that Jason is released soon."
The ministry has "done everything possible" to secure Salehi and Rezaian's release, Koushesh said. "It is not something that is in our hands," he added, alluding to the case being a matter for the judiciary, which is independent of President Hassan Rouhani's government.
"We welcome the release of Yeganeh Salehi, the Iranian wife of detained US citizen Jason Rezaian," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki confirmed to reporters. Washington was continuing "to call on the Iranian government to immediately release all of our detained US citizens in Iran", she added.
According to Reporters Without Borders, a Paris-based press freedom group, more than 50 journalists and bloggers are in Iranian custody. Salehi's press card remains valid and "no decision has been taken" that would stop her working as a reporter, Koushesh said, contrary to the Post's report, which said her credentials had been withdrawn.
Salehi was able to visit her husband over the weekend and told his brother that they were both "physically healthy" despite spending more than two months behind bars, according to the Post. Rezaian's high blood pressure and daily medication needs have raised concerns about his health.
Iran does not recognise dual citizenship and has therefore rejected State Department requests about Rezaian and those arrested with him.
Salehi's family said in a statement: "We are thankful Yeganeh has been released on bail. We remain confident that Jason has committed no crime. We pray that the Iranian government will conclude that Jason should be released as well."
Teheran and Washington have had no formal diplomatic ties since the US hostage crisis that broke out in the Iranian capital in 1980, following the Islamic revolution the previous year.
"It is long past time for the Iranian authorities to release Jason and to permit him and Yegi to leave the country," said Post foreign editor Douglas Jehl in the American newspaper's report on Sunday.


Umatilla Bridge spanning the Columbia River opens on April 15, 1955.
On April 15, 1955, the Umatilla Bridge spanning the Columbia River opens to traffic. The steel cantilever bridge is the easternmost bridge to connect Washington and Oregon, and carries Interstate 82 from near Plymouth, Benton County, Washington, to Umatilla County, Oregon. The structure is located just west of the McNary Dam and a bit farther west from where the Columbia bends from its north-south orientation to run west toward the Pacific Ocean. In 1987 a parallel bridge, a segmental concrete bridge with two main spans, will be built just upsteam.
The idea of building the bridge was dubbed Surgis's Folly after its greatest supporter, Umatilla County's judge James H. Sturgis. Like other such "follies," once the bridge was built it soon paid for itself and became important to the region in both states, adding a transportation component to the massive agricultural development based on irrigation following the building of McNary Dam (1954) just upstream. Sturgis was later named traffic director for the new toll bridge.
"The center section of the steel cantilever bridge is a five-span, continuous Warren through-truss stretching 1,920 feet over the river. Its cantilever and anchor spans are actually a 'partial through-truss' design because their lower chords are below the roadway" (Spanning Washington).
The two-lane deck, built of reinforced concrete is 27 feet 7 inches wide and clears the river by 85 feet. The bridge was financed by $10 million in bonds raised by officials of Umatilla County and built by the Tudor Engineering Company of San Francisco. The bridge opened as a toll bridge and the bonds were paid off by 1974.
Construction of the bridge was made possible under a bill lobbied for by W. S. Nelson, member of the board of directors of the McNary Development Association, that allowed counties to sell bonds to build bridges across the state's boundary streams. The Dalles Bridge was the first built under this bill, and the Umatilla-Plymouth Bridge was the second.
A dedication was held on April 15, 1955, to celebrate the opening of the bridge. At 8:00 a.m., officials opened the roadway across the top of McNary Dam so that Washington residents could drive to the Oregon side for the ceremonies. Beginning at 10:30 a.m., high-school bands from Prosser, Benton City, and Kennewick in Washington and from Umatilla, Echo, and Hermiston in Oregon entertained an estimated crowd of 2,500 people. At 11 o'clock, dedication chairman S. G. Brogiotti introduced the two governors. Governor Paul Patterson (1900-1956) of Oregon and Governor Arthur B. Langlie (1900-1966) of Washington gave speeches praising the cooperation between the states.
Umatilla County Judge D. R. Cook unveiled a monument and plaque to honor William H. Switzler (d. 1942), after whom the bridge would be named. Switzler, born in Pendleton, had operated ferries at Plymouth and Maryhill from 1911 to 1941. He was a past president of the Pendleton Round-Up and a Umatilla County Commissioner. Judge Sturgis was also on hand to say a few words. Reverend Edmond McGrath of Kennewick said a few closing words.
After the speeches, Mrs. Switzler, widow of William Switzler cut the ceremonial ribbon. Following the ribbon cutting, the governors led a caravan across the bridge. Governor Patterson rode in the first car, followed by Governor Langlie. Frank Lampson, Benton County Commissioner; Clint Silliman, president of Kennewick Chamber of Commerce; Charles L. Powell, Kennewick attorney; and Ed Hopkins, manager of the Kennewick Chamber of Commerce accompanied Governor Langlie. The caravan then returned to Oregon after crossing the Columbia River over the McNary Dam.
Today the bridge carries southbound traffic on Interstate 82. Northbound traffic is carried by a parallel bridge, which opened in 1988.

Home Health How to protect yourself from corona virus while traveling and is there...
How to protect yourself from corona virus while traveling and is there a cure for the disease?
The new Corona virus, which has spread from the Chinese city of Wuhan, has sparked great controversy and fears it has spread around the world, killing more victims without realizing how to deal with it.
Health experts have revealed that travelers should try to avoid contact with people who have symptoms similar to the symptoms of pneumonia, or common colds, such as a cough or a runny nose.
Speaking with Business Insider, Eric Toner, a scientist at Johns Hopkins University, said: "What we do not know is how far the disease can be transmitted by people with mild symptoms. This is one of the things we are trying to discover now."
Many people in China have lined up to buy face masks, but Toner does not think this is enough to protect anyone's health.
"It has never been proven that wearing masks is an effective way to protect against infectious diseases," he said.
The CDC says that travelers should wash their hands frequently with soap and water, and ensure that the cleaning process continues for at least 20 seconds. There are no vaccines to protect humans (currently) from infection with the Coronavirus.
Although scientists have tracked the "Wuhan virus" to the local seafood market, with live animals, they are not yet sure which animal transmitted the virus to humans.
Recent research indicates that SARS (SARS) virus in China can spread to humans from a horseshoe.
Toner said: "Since the emergence of SARS, there have been calls for improving or closing live animal markets in China. There are many terrible things that we do not yet know, but it is fair to say that live animal markets pose a threat not only to people working there, but to public health." ".
Toner explained that individuals infected with the new virus, who visited China recently, must inform the doctor about their travel history. He added that restricting travel in areas that already have cases of the virus, is not likely to be a solution.
"I think the Chinese government is doing the right things," he said. "They are examining patients or incoming travelers, and trying to educate them to make sure they get care. They are trying to isolate them as soon as the disease begins. These are measures that prevent transmission."
Is there a cure for Corona virus?
Corona virus is known to be effective in masking the human immune system, and scientists have not developed any reliable vaccine treatments that can eliminate it. In most cases, health officials try to deal with symptoms as they arise.
However, this does not mean that vaccines are impossible. Chinese scientists have been able to chain the genetic code of the virus with amazing speed, giving them an opportunity to study it and find ways to fight the new disease.
Researchers at the US National Institute of Health are working to develop an effective vaccine, although it is observed that it will be released after a year or more.
Experts said that SARS, which infected nearly 8,000 people and killed nearly 800 patients, seemed to be gradually disappearing not because of the vaccine, but rather through effective communication between nations, and a set of tools that helped track the disease and its spread.
How to reduce the risk of infection with the Corona virus?
With the confirmed cases now seen in the United States, Thailand, Japan, South Korea, and potential Australia, as well as China, there is a possibility that the new coronavirus has spread much further.

Summer is officially here! I'm so excited for the weather to warm up so I can put on my swimsuit. I know so many of you have been basking in the sun and heat for a while now, well not here in the PNW! Yesterday it was a high of 60 degrees and I wore my winter jacket. This is a hard one for this MN native to get used to. I'm ready for the heat and humidity come April and it's a long time to wait until the 4th of July for summer to start. But I've made it! Let us talk swimsuits. This isn't an easy topic and a lot of people dread the swimsuit season. Let's just say most of us feel there are areas of our bodies we don't completely love. We all have it no matter what shape or size. But at 39, I'm embracing my body. It gave me two boys and let me nurse them, it's not perfect and never will be but I am thankful that I can do the things that I need to and I will continue to strive to be the best version of myself. I want to be an example for my kiddos to be confident in themselves and to own who they are. My hope is for all of you to also own it! So put on that swimsuit and have fun this summer! Strive for progress over perfection!
Two-piece swimsuits are great because you can buy two different sizes if need be.
The high waisted bottoms are on-trend + a great option for someone that doesn't feel confident in a low-rise.
If you need extra help bring a friend, your honest friend, and try on as many suits as it takes!
Accentuate your positive areas, you know what they are!
Accessorizing makes everything a little better! You know what I mean?
This is how I approach swimsuit shopping! I suggest you find a way that works for you so you can be confident in that suit and enjoy the pool or lake party's this summer! Here are a few summer styles that I think you will love! I've included all the extras too for easy shopping for you! If you're curious about my workout routine, more details are here. You can also learn about how I got summer ready in this post. Let me know if I can help you in any way!
With Summer officially here there are extra things that you can do to get your body ready for the sun, water and of course, those swimsuits! Besides finding the perfect suit and coverup for the summer months (of course I've been on the hunt), I've decided to incorporate a few new summer-ready routines at 39, I know, better late than never! In addition to my workout routine which I shared about it in this post. I've also added dry brushing for smoother and brighter skin. I got a spray tan and purchased an at home tanning option to continue the glow because all my Seattle peeps know that the sun doesn't come out until after the 4th of July! Last but not least, I tried waxing to get rid of that unwanted hair.
Why not has actually been my new question. I am wondering why I waited so long! I love that I don't have to shave as it takes 1-2 weeks for any growth to start following your appointment. I've also learned the more consistently you wax the longer it takes to grow back and the finer and sparser, making it easier to maintain in the future. I've even heard that some no longer get hair growth in areas they've waxed, doesn't that sound amazing?! Life is already busy enough during the summer, who am I kidding really any time of year, so it's nice to not have to worry about shaving and cross that off my to-do list.
I had been looking into this company for a while now and waxing in general but just hadn't taken the plunge until now! Some of the things that I personally looked for was a convenient location, one that had amazing reviews (a no-brainer, right!), and a welcoming atmosphere and Cerologist that would make getting a Brazilian feel comfortable because let's face it, this isn't the most comfortable situation. I really loved walking into the Waxing The City in Issaquah, WA. The front desk receptionist was smiley and friendly and the decor is fresh with a modern vibe. There was some brief paperwork and then I was greeted by my Cerologist (that's what they call their licensed estheticians) and she took me to our room to explained the process.
The room was very clean and sterile yet continued with the inviting decor that you experienced in the lobby. There was even an outlet to charge your phone during your appointment! I was lucky to have Ashley as my waxing expert. She is definitely good at what she does. Ashley was able to make me feel comfortable by exuding limitless enthusiasm and knowledge of her art. During my waxing, she answered all my questions and also shared her recommendations on skin care which included exfoliating, how to avoid ingrown hairs, and what product would be best for me! It was really nice because there were no awkward moments that you might worry about and she took her time to not rush the process.
Yes, it hurts. Everyone's pain tolerance is different and it also depends on what part of the body you are waxing. You can take an ibuprofen 30 minutes prior to your appointment to help alleviate some of the pain. They also sell a Pre-Wax Serum that helps numb the area and can be put on 5 minutes ahead of time. I've also been told the more you do it the less it hurts! My second childbirth wasn't as painful as the first one so maybe it's true, I'll have to see!
What kind of wax do they use?
The science geek in me loved learning about the wax they use called Ceranaranja. It's a custom-formulated hard wax made in Spain for Waxing The City. I was told how this special wax, shrink-wraps around the hair instead of adhering to your skin to makes the entire waxing experience much more comfortable! I love the idea of a more comfortable experience!
How long does your hair have to be?
Ashley recommends as long as a grain of rice, which is typically 2-4 weeks of growth. Longer hair actually means a smoother wax which is another great reason to let it grow a bit more.
What should I do about ingrown hairs/bumps?
I learned that exfoliating is a great way to help prevent ingrown hairs. They sell some amazing products to help with this including exfoliating gloves as well as an exclusive maintenance kit. They also recommended this product, which you can buy there as well. I used it after and would definitely buy again.
It depends on the location and service but the pricing can range from $25 to $75. They also have a great perk called the BlackBook that is a membership option and the value is really great especially if you are a new client. Speaking of that, don't forget that First Time Clients get 50% off any service! You can conveniently schedule your service at waxingthecity.com.
I'm sure you have more questions than this. You can learn more about Waxing The City and find more FAQ's answered here. Feel free to leave me a message below and I will do my best to answer your questions. I am definitely going back! Let me know if you book your appointment, I'd love to hear how much you loved it too!
So now that I've done the prep work, stay tuned for my next post with some great swimsuits for a variety of body shapes! Don't worry, I won't forget about the coverup, hats, sandals, beach bags and more!
The Ultimate Retro Birthday Party for Kids!
With the 1980's themes being seen everywhere I thought I would re-visit my favorite birthday party from growing up and give my son an updated version for his birthday this year! Do you remember your favorite birthday party as a kid? I bet there wasn't a jumpy house or game truck involved! Additionally, I wanted to get the kiddos outside to enjoy the festivities and let's be honest, to avoid a dozen kiddos destroying my house. But if you can't be outside you can definitely do these games indoors.
We started with Dizzy Mummy. This game was played with partners. One teammate held the toilet paper and the other was the spinner. The goal was to wrap your partner without tearing the TP and finish the roll first! This one had some laughs for sure and some falling too!
The second game was a version of another game that I found called Bucket Head. We played with mini-marshmallows and sand buckets. This one was also done with a partner. The object was to toss as many marshmallows into your partner's bucket in 1 minute. The catch was your partner had to be kneeling down and keep the bucket on their head! We counted the caught marshmallows to award the prizes to the winning team.
Next up was the Spoon Race. I remember playing this with eggs. I made it a little cleaner and chose limes as the object to not drop and made it a bit harder for these bigger boys by making them hold it steady in their mouth instead! They all started on the line and the first to pass the final cone won! If they dropped it they had to start over. This was a great way to encourage a never give up mentality even though the kids probably didn't get that lesson.
The next game was my personal favorite, Bobbing For Donuts! The object of this game was to eat the entire donut without it falling on the ground AND you couldn't touch it. This was an example of slow and steady wins the race for sure! We used our patio umbrella and tied string to each spindle and hung the donuts from that.
After all that sugar, we finished with a good ol' Wiffle Ball Game with a home run competition too! Are you imagining Sandlot…now you're on target!
Here were some of the prizes we had for the games as well as the gift bags for each kiddo that we put together. I put together shoppable links to items I used to make your planning easier!
I hope this helps you with your birthday party plans! I'm glad to be here helping you Style your Life!
The Jumpsuit is totally having a moment! These one-piece looks are taking the season by storm and are definitely not going anywhere. They are truly a statement piece and a great alternative to a dress or top and pants. There are a lot of different jumpsuit options and so it's really important to find the right silhouette for your body or this chic look can go very wrong! Like dresses, you will see them worn very casually or dressed up for a special occasion, including wedding season! The sky is the limit as long as you stick with My Styling Philosophy…Fit, Function & Feeling! Here's how you can apply it to get the perfect jumpsuit for you.
Does it Fit? This is SO important with a jumpsuit. I prefer a style that creates a waistline, no extra bulk is needed. You can add a belted accessory to create an hour-glass silhouette and break up a monochromatic look. Another key is finding the correct leg. A jogger style can be great for shorter legs as it's more fitted and doesn't add bulk. A wide leg is nice for a longer leg. Adding a heel to any jumpsuit is a good idea! These leg-lengthening beauties can change the whole outfit.
What Function are you dressing for? You can wear a jumpsuit for pretty much any occasion. There are lots of versatile styles out now but there are some that are very specifically casual or very much special occasion. Find the right one for your need so you feel confident wearing it.
Do you Feel amazing in what you are wearing? If you don't feel amazing in it, don't buy it. If you are not confident in something you are never going to select it when you go to your closet to get dressed. You should put something on and go, wow, I can't wait to wear this again!
If you are still not sure where to start, reach out to me. I style clients near and far and am happy to help you find the perfect look for you!

Daily Kos: An Iraqi man who died hanging by his cuffed wrists from a door frame, gagged, and beaten to death by his US interrogators.
This 47-year-old White male, [redacted], died of blunt force injuries and asphyxia. The autopsy disclosed multiple blunt force injuries,including deep contusions of the chest wall, numerous displaced rib fractures, lung contusions, and hemorrhage into the mesentery of the small and large intestine. An examination of the neck structures revealed hemorrhage into the strap muscles and fractures of the thyroid cartilage and hyoid bone. According to the investigative report provided by U.S. Army CID, the decedent was shackled to the top of a doorframe with a gag in his mouth at the time he lost consciousness and became pulseless. The severe blunt force injuries, the hanging position, and the obstruction of the oral cavity with a gag contributed to this individual's death. The manner of death is homicide.

by roel April 8, 2005 5:36 pm 149 views
The Latvian representatives for the upcoming Eurovision Song Contets, Walters & Kazha, have just released a maxi CD single for their entry The war is not over. Besides the Latvian song for Kyiv, it also includes a cover of the 2000 Eurovision Song Contest winning song Fly on the wings of love.
"Yes, the war is not over, it just begins" Walters & Kazha say. "We are still fighting for our own place on the European music scene. We are ready to do our best at the Eurovision Song Contest semifinal. The main reason of releasing this CD is to promote the song and show our musical taste since."
Besides the Latvian Eurovision Song Contest entry, the maxi CD single also contains some other tracks. "Many people compare us to Olsen Brothers and sometimes even call us 'Little Olsen Brothers' so we decided to cover their lucky song 'Fly on the wings of love' and hope it will bring us some luck too!" the Latvian duo says.
Walters & Kazha are also members of the band Putnu Balle and their track Another creep will also appear on the single. Furthermore, the single includes a dance mix and an instrumental version of The war is not over. For now, this single will be released in Latvia only.
The single can already be purchased from www.balticshop.com. After the contest it will be available from Microphone Records and their EMI partners in Europe.

The difference between something and nothing often lies in the eye of the beholder.
Lol. I enjoy observing generation patterns.
One way or another, there will always be a generation gap.
Fraz's ultimatum backfired on him.
Fraz you have to learn to ask, not demand.
I don't have time to ask, I want it right. . . Oh.
I go out when I'm finished with my video games. Or when Chris makes me go out.
I have a whole lot of something in mine, too.
Oh duh! I just noticed you had the sharing buttons….seriously…this is too funny…I'm supposed to be practicing awareness!
Love this strip because it's so true…the new generation and wanting everything fast and now. Not taking the time to breathe ….it's no wonder hypertension is seen in younger people!
It's funny how easy it is to overlook things when we're focused on something else.
It seems no one has any patience any more, and everyone wants everything right now. Or sooner!
Things always go bad with Chris!
Sometimes gentleness can make miracles 😉 Stubborn people don't like to be forced.
Yes, persuasion is often a much more successful way of getting what you want.
