Briner Institute Carries On the "Roaring Lambs" Vision
Christian music veteran Barry Landis builds entertainment industry infrastructure for positive, values-oriented content. Organization names Board of Directors.
Nashville, TN (PRWEB) April 24, 2007 – After two years of research, organizing and networking, The Briner Institute, a 501c3 not for profit corporation was founded this month by Christian music deal maker Barry Landis, the family of the late Bob Briner, as well as key corporate executives and entertainment industry personalities. The goal of the organizations is to continue the vision and mission of Briner's call to foster the development of a positive, values-oriented content infrastructure in the entertainment industry.
The Briner Institute was birthed out of a symposium held at Vanderbilt University in late 2005. It was organized as a dying request in Briner's Final Roar, his last book, completed by Landis. Moderated by the now Executive Director Landis, this two day event featured a 120 person strong roster of luminaries from the entertainment industry, as well as supportive philanthropists. Today's announcement of the formal organization of the Briner Institute and the appointment of the Board of Directors and Advisory Board is a further step towards creating the infrastructure required to support Briner's vision. "My family and I are very pleased and excited with the concept of the Briner Institute and continuing the vision that was so important to Bob. He and Barry had many discussions about being Roaring Lambs in our society, especially in the field of entertainment. I want to thank the Board for their gracious financial support as well as their continued encouragement of Barry's efforts to carry out my husband's dream," said Marty Briner. The Briner Institute has become a reality through a founding grant from three board members—Dr Harry Jacobson, Vice Chancellor Medical Affairs/Vanderbilt University, Mike Curb, Chairman/Curb Records and Bill Glynn, Chairman/Collective I.Q. Together with Landis, Marty Briner, Terry Hemmings, CEO and President/Provident Music Group and Christian music recording artist Michael W. Smith, the seven will serve as the Board of Directors for the non-profit organization.
"We have a fantastic board and I want to thank them all for their wonderful support of Bob Briner's vision," said Landis. "Briner's message was clear and encompassed three main areas. The first was to 'be salt,'--to be an agent for positive change. Secondly, one should 'light a candle instead of cursing the darkness,' meaning that boycotts and denunciation of negative content really is not worth much unless you offer an acceptable alternative, and finally 'linkage is the key.' The entertainment industry is a complex web of artists, financiers, publishers, distribution companies, etc. It's important to create an industry-wide groundswell and functioning infrastructure in order to bring about true change in culture shaping arenas."
The next event sponsored by The Briner Institute will be a Silicon Valley Entertainment and Media Summit to continue to build on the work started at Vanderbilt. The Summits are by invitation only and other EM Summits will be organized in large metropolitan cities around the United States and perhaps the world. "There is a large segment of the population who would like to see more values-oriented entertainment in our culture," said Landis. "The Briner Institute is an important catalyst in teaching how such content is developed, financed and distributed to meet this demand."
About the Briner Institute
The Briner Institute's mission was adopted in honor of Emmy Award-winning television and entertainment executive Bob Briner – and his book – Roaring Lambs. Founded by leaders in the fields of entertainment, media, music, technology, higher education and ministry, the Briner Institute seeks to achieve its primary mission of cultural engagement and influence through educational related activities. The Briner Institute and its members seek to educate interested persons on how to:
• Advocate for the proliferation of successful, quality faith and family-based
content movements in movies, music, games, media, etc...
• Mentor developing promising artists, writers, musicians, and to provide a tax benefit to the inventor and artist community – whereby intellectual property or equity in small amounts is contributed up front to the institute - such that the future success of these properties, artists and creations – perpetuate the institute's capital and endowment needs.
• Network with like-minded persons globally – in order to engage in the policy and culture shaping mediums of expression that form and influence our cultural belief systems.
• Provide scholarships to college age "roaring lambs" with tuition grants, helping them acquire the necessary educational and professional credentials, so that they will be equipped to enter various culture shaping careers with influence and credibility.
In addition to these primary educationally related purposes, the Briner Institute also seeks to host annual events, called Entertainment & Media Summits, that are focused on bringing together the "best and the brightest" minds in fields designated above, to develop and create new strategies for achieving its mission of cultural engagement and influence. In addition to the education members receive at the these Summits, participants also benefit from the strategic and business ideation, networking, and brainstorming that contributes valuable ideas, leadership experience and vision that support the long-term goals of the Briner Institute. Summits are held at least annually, more frequently is funds allow, and are by invitation only. The EM Summits gather in strategic cities with leaders, grounded in the Christian faith, representing the professional arenas of the arts, business, media, entertainment, higher education and ministry.

In the 1993 American film Groundhog Day Bill Murray plays a self-centred weatherman who goes to the town of Punxsutawney for an assignment. He is later shocked when he wakes up next morning and realises that he is reliving the same day over and over. With this turgid election campaign I know the feeling. I have reread the blogs I wrote both before and after the 2017 General Election and think that very little has changed. There have been some changes in the cast of characters it's true but the political leadership on all sides seem to have learnt nothing from the lessons of the past few years. As for the media they have learned nothing at all. They are still trying to turn our ancient, well-tested representative democracy into a presidential system. They only seek to find fault and inconsistency, which frankly is not hard. But they rarely get to the real truths which are that all the parties bar none have not prepared properly for this election although it has been obvious that it would have to come in order to refresh a dysfunctional House of Commons. The manifestos are just a collection of wish lists with no properly thought out plans and no real attempt to show how the books can balance. In the case of the Labour one they can't.
I wrote in last week's blog that I would focus in that one on the Brexit factor and then try to cover the other main issues this weekend. I will stick to that plan. I see these as the economy, the National Health Service, immigration and then the question of political leadership. These are not the only issues that matter but I think on balance they are the main ones in people's minds. But I will try to find space to at least cover in outline some of these other issues where there are real problems facing the country: defence, justice and education.
The economy.
In most General Elections it is usually the economy that is the biggest issue in people's minds in deciding how they will vote. If in general they feel better off than last time then the incumbent government has a good chance of re-election and vice versa. But as I have explained before the economy does not mean Gross Domestic Product. GDP is defined not by what we produce but by what we consume. If the government increases borrowing and spends all the money then GDP has gone up. But the nation is now worse off, unless most of the money went into capital projects or R&D where we can expect a return on investment.
Under the Conservative-led government of the last near-decade the economy has recovered from its dire position in 2008-9 and most people are to some extent better off. Earnings have risen, income inequality has reduced slightly and the government has substantially reduced the deficit it inherited.
However, I think the real problem is that the nation is still paying for the disastrous management of the economy under Gordon Brown's chancellorship in 1997-2007. He substantially increased spending on the National Health Service, education and other public services. Some of this was paid for by increases in taxation but most by two kinds of borrowing - public borrowing thus increasing the deficit hugely and the rest by so–called Public Private Initiatives. Under these NHS trusts were encouraged to enter into contracts with private suppliers of building services and the debts incurred were taken off the public balance sheet. However, when these debts fell due that cost went to the Trust whose employment costs had also increased sharply. Those costs are still there. Brown simply put up the cost of running the State with debts falling in the future. The future is here and the Government spends more on its interest costs than it does on defence, one of the first responsibilities of the state. George Osborne as Chancellor introduced a programme of so-called austerity but protected some public services, particularly the NHS at the expense of others. So while much of the focus is on the NHS which is simply unsustainable in its present form, other key services like defence and justice have been seriously squeezed.
The Labour leadership is planning to make this far worse by putting up costs sharply and pretending that this can all be paid for by taxing more those who earn over £80,000 pa. But at £100,000 pa the marginal rate of tax including National Insurance is already 62%. Many professionals turn work away rather than paying such excessive rates of tax. John McDonnell is planning to raise this by another 5%. This will not only reduce further the amount of work taken on by professionals like surgeons but will drive many wealth creators out of the country. The top 1% of earners in this country already pay over 30% of the Income Tax collected by HMRC. It is economic illiteracy to think that more money will be collected by raising these rates further. It won't. It will probably go down.
Most of the Labour manifesto is similar to Francois Mitterrand's in 1981 with labour reforms and extensive nationalisation. After he won the French General Election the stock exchange fell by 20% in just two days; the French franc collapsed losing half its value against the dollar in two years; the economy went into sharp decline and hundreds of thousands of the more highly paid fled the country, taking their capital with them. Many of them came to London. The budget deficit multiplied six times; government borrowing costs rose and inflation mushroomed to 12.6%.
The National Health Service
I have already covered some of the economic aspects of the NHS. But there are many other problems with it. The NHS is founded on the principle of a minimum standard of health care, free at the point of use. There are two difficulties with this principle and they are both getting more acute. The first is, what is that minimum standard of health care? When Beveridge designed the system I think he would have set the bar quite low. He wanted to end the injustice of poorer people not getting to see a doctor even when they were quite ill but he didn't envisage hip replacement surgery or an ever older population. He didn't envisage the vast progress that has been made in drugs and surgical practice. The second is that if you make something free then demand will rise exponentially. Supply cannot meet such demand and so in the absence of price as a means to control demand you get rationing, i.e. queues and waiting lists. That is economically certain.
Labour are also trying to pretend that if the Conservatives win and get the Brexit deal done they will immediately put up for sale the whole of the NHS to the highest bidder. But when Labour came to power in 1945 and began to launch their version of the NHS the British Medical Association, the general practitioners' union if you like, refused to go along with it. The Labour Minister for Health, Aneurin Bevan, a famous Labour folk hero, in a famous phrase said "I stuffed their mouths with gold." In other words he privatised that part of the NHS. All doctors' surgeries in the country are private practices usually run as business partnerships.
Immigration was undoubtedly a key factor in the Referendum and remains a key issue in this General Election. Just as politicians get into dreadful contortions over the NHS as they defend the indefensible they also get into trouble over immigration. Those who want to control it are seen as racist. This is a shame because while there is undoubtedly an issue with racism - Labour has been severely criticised for institutional anti-Semitism while the Conservatives are accused of Islamophobia - most British people in my experience are not racist but many feel that there has been excessive immigration. Some immigration is undoubtedly a good thing in many different ways, not just economic but also culturally. But if immigration is uncontrolled then these benefits seem outweighed by the disadvantages of pressure on public services like schools and the justice system. It also contributes to a lack of productivity as businesses choose cheap foreign labour over investment.
The Conservatives have finally dropped their dreadful policy of setting a target for net migration. No democratic government can achieve such a thing because even if it can control immigration it cannot control emigration. Therefore by definition it cannot control net migration. There are other widespread misunderstandings about migration. One of these relates to one of the EU freedoms, the Free Movement of Labour. It is not the Free Movement of People but Labour, i.e. EU citizens are free to move from one EU member state to another if they are going to a job there, but not to become another dependent of the Welfare State.
In a representative democracy like the UK citizens primarily vote for the person on the ballot in their constituency that they want to represent their interests at Westminster. A number of things have gone wrong with this idea. I have already mentioned the media who prefer to see it as a clash of personalities. The idea that people can make their minds up on how they should vote based on a so-called debate on television which is not a debate at all, or on how individuals perform when harangued by a highly biased journalist, is ludicrous. More seriously there has been a weakening of the representative principle by changes in the way the parties choose their leader.
The Labour Party has changed the rules by how it elects its leader no less than eight times since 1981. Traditionally the votes were divided between three groups, the MPs, the trade unions and ordinary members. Over time the more left wing MPs have been kept out of the frame by having a high enough threshold on nominating members. In 2007, when Tony Blair stepped down, John McDonnell, the left wing candidate who wanted to oppose Gordon Brown failed to get the necessary 12.5% of MPs to support him. But by 2015, when Ed Miliband stepped down as leader, Jeremy Corbyn did get the necessary threshold when 14 MPs 'lent' him their nominations, although they then did not vote for him. After sustained pressure from the left of the party they now have a one member-one vote system. Corbyn won this easily as the party members are primarily of hard left and far left persuasion.
The Conservative party has also moved to a method that leaves the final decision to the party members. Boris Johnson also won this easily defeating Jeremy Hunt after the two were selected in successive rounds of voting by Conservative MPs. While not far right this method is also more likely to produce a leader on the right of the party.
The result is that both major parties are therefore led by leaders who do not naturally appeal to the centre ground. Corbyn has always been on the far left of his party and would never have become leader under the old system. It is essentially a coup by the Momentum wing of the party and there are numerous more moderate Labour MPs who regard him as totally unfit to be Prime Minister.
None of the major leaders are winning in the popularity stakes. With the polarisation of Right and Left it should be a golden opportunity for the Liberal Democrats. They have adopted the clearest position on the EU, that is to Remain by revoking Article 50 which, while anti-democratic ,should go down well with a large proportion of the electorate. But it seems their new 39-year old leader Jo Swinson is not well-liked. According to a recent Ipsos Mori poll Just 18% of people looked on her favourably while 50% had an unfavourable view. Boris Johnson was a brilliant campaigner in the past winning the Mayoralty election in London twice when London has a natural leaning to Labour and then dominating the 2016 referendum. But perhaps familiarity is breeding contempt as in the same poll only 33% look favourably upon him while 47% are unfavourable. But Mr. Corbyn gets just 24% favourable and a massive 59% unfavourable making him the clear winner of the unpopularity stakes.
And with a final word on those issues that in a healthy election with less focus on Brexit, the NHS and the leadership, let me consider defence, justice and education.
While we do meet our NATO target of spending 2% of GDP on defence this expenditure includes long standing commitments to pensions for veterans, a familiar Whitehall trick. Our real spending on current and future defence is inadequate and often poorly directed. Ministers seem to like spending on massively expensive but rather impractical projects like aircraft carriers with no planes when we should be spending far more on newer threats of terrorism and hybrid warfare with cyber-attacks, satellites and drones.
The austerity measures have badly damaged the justice system. Hundreds of Courts have been closed and magistrates are leaving in droves. Less than 10% of crimes are solved. The Conservatives have promised to recruit 20,000 more police but this does not get back to the numbers in 2010 and crime has risen sharply.
Education should not be a political football. There is very little that the state does better than the private sector. Private schools are superior to state run schools which have to compete for funds with the NHS etc. It is a human right to have your child educated in a school of your choice and this right is protected under EU law. Labour's proposals to abolish private schools would be against EU law and would be dragged through the courts. Even their proposal to charge VAT on school fees will produce a terrible effect as thousands of parents who already make big sacrifices to get a decent education for their children will be forced to take them out and dump them on the state system which will be unable to cope.
I have a suggestion for you. We need better people in the House of Commons. Why not vote for the candidate you think is most likely to be able to work for cross-party consensus on the best way forward on all these issues in the longer term, as long as they can also add up?

National ADA Systematic Review
A research team at the University of Illinois at Chicago is conducting a three-stage review project analyzing the broad scope of research on the Americans with Disabilities Act. This project is part of the National ADA Knowledge Translation Center Project and responds to the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) call to "increase the use of available ADA-related research findings to inform behavior, practices, or policies that improve equal access in society for individuals with disabilities." The UIC project will address the call by conducting systematic reviews of the current state of ADA related research and translating findings into plain language summaries for policymakers, technical reports, publications in peer-review journals, and presentations at national conferences.
The first stage of the project is a scoping review of the ADA literature that uses a very general research question ("What English-language studies have been conducted and/or published from 1990 and onwards that empirically study the ADA?") and search terms ("ADA" and the appropriate truncation) in the initial review. Following the scoping review, the research team will generate more specific questions and terms with the assistance of an expert panel of key stakeholders involved with the research on the ADA to conduct a rapid evidence and systematic review. These reviews will collectively identify a future plan for research that spans core ADA research topics, methodological approaches to ADA-related research and potential outcomes to inform policy and practice, and positively impact on ADA stakeholders.

What to wear in Punta Cana in 2023?
Probably it is not a surprise for you that Punta Cana is warm enough all year round. Despite this, depending on the month, there may be rains, strong winds, and a burning sun. That is why we decided to write an article where we will tell you what to wear in Punta Cana in certain months of the year.
In addition, we should mention that November, December, January, and February are usually considered the high season in Punta Cana. And the low season lasts from May to August. Nevertheless, these are just definitions, and in our opinion, there is no bad time to travel to Punta Cana. So, let us see what you should exactly wear while staying on the fabulous beaches of the Dominican Republic.
Macao Beach, Punta Cana
What to wear in Punta Cana in December?
Well, as you already know, December is considered the high season, which means that Punta Cana welcomes the highest number of tourists during this time. Despite this, December is definitely not the hottest month of the year. On the contrary, people love to go to the Caribbean at this time for the reason that it is not so hot, and the probability of rainfall is lower. The average daytime air temperature is about 78.8 °F (26 °C), and the water temperature is about 80.6 °F (27 °C).
So, we do not recommend that you wear non-breathable or heavy fabrics. And you definitely should not take warm jackets and hats just because it is December. Since it is a tropical climate, it is hot here at this time. But you can bring one sweatshirt, as it gets cooler at night and there may be some tropical rain. In addition, there is the windy season in Punta Cana that starts in December and lasts until March.
What should I wear in Punta Cana in January?
No doubt, January is the central month of a high season. The average air temperature is about 77 °F (25 °C), and the water temperature does not drop below 80.6 °F (27 °C). So, with approximately ten hours of sunshine expected each day, this is a great month for relaxing on the stunning beach of Punta Cana. Also, we should mention that there are can be rainy days because of the tropical climate. And the average rainfall in January is about 85 mm, and usually, it continues for about nine days.
What should you wear? We recommend that you not forget to bring your swimsuits, sunglasses, breezy and airy summer clothes, and a summer sweatshirt since it can get colder at night. Nevertheless, do not bring a coat or something too warm because even night temperature does not drop below 75.02 °F (23.9 °C).
Punta Cana Beach
How to dress for Punta Cana vacation in February?
So, the next month is February, it should be noted that the weather there is the same as in January, and the average air temperature during the day does not drop below 78.8 °F (26 °C). But what changes noticeably is the amount of precipitation. Even though there is warm tropical rain in Punta Cana, the number of rainy days is reduced to four, so you can enjoy clear sunny weather even more.
You should bring summer clothes, breezy dresses, and shorts, which will make you comfortable to walk around on those sunny days. Regardless, you may take hoodies or sweatshirts for your kids because it can get cooler in the evening.
What to wear in the DR in Spring (March, April, May)?
According to many tourists, spring is the best time to travel to the Dominican Republic. Surely, it is because the high season goes away and there are fewer tourists. Despite this, March still belongs to the high season. We should note that in these months it also gets warmer. So, the average air temperature is about 81.5 °F (27.5 °C). And the highest temperature can reach 87.8 °F (31 °C).
So, as you can see, it is already a period when it is necessary to wear a baseball cap or a sun hat. Moreover, you should remember to wear fabrics that will let your body breathe and let the air flow, keeping you cooler this way. In addition, do not forget to take an SPF cream, which is one of the most important things to have in this kind of climate. The lighter the fabric and the less covered your skin, the more comfortable you will feel. The most lightweight fabrics are linen, chiffon, lace, organza, cheesecloth, voile.
National Carnival in March
How to dress for Dominican Summer (June, July, August)?
Oddly enough, summer is a low season in Punta Cana, and it is really hot at this time, so if you are a fan of warmth and bright sun, you will love it here! The average air temperature is about 84.2 °F (29 °C) and it can even reach 89.6 °F (32 °C). The average water temperature is about 82 °F (28 °C).
Without a doubt, we think that the best thing you can wear is an SPF cream to protect your skin from the burning sun. Moreover, you should take into account that the best fabrics to wear in this period are from natural materials such as cotton, linen, bamboo, and rayon. Also, it is necessary to have some shirts, and it is important not to get an extra tan and damage your skin.
Barceló Bávaro Beach in Summer
What to wear in Punta Cana in Autumn (September, October)?
Well, since the climate is tropical, there is the rainy season in Punta Cana which starts from August and lasts to October. The average air temperature is about 81.5 °F (27.5 °C), and the water temperature is approximately 84.2 °F (29 °C).
As you may have noticed, even though it is no longer summer, the temperature in the fall is still high. Therefore, you need to protect your skin from sunburn. Do not forget to bring light-colored clothing, breathable shoes, a hat, glasses, and a breathable long-sleeved shirt.
Melia Punta Cana in Autumn
What to wear in Punta Cana in November?
The reason why we have separated this month from the other months of autumn is that November is the start of the high season in the Dominican Republic. This is a good time to travel as temperatures drop, and the sun is less active. There are about 8 hours of sunshine expected each day. The average temperature is approximately 79.7 °F (26.5 °C), with the highest point reach 86 °F (30 °C) and the lowest is 73.4 °F (23 °C). And the night temperature does not drop below 77 °F (25.2 °C).
If we are talking December, then, all the same, you should take beach summer clothes in your suitcase and do not forget to take sun cream to protect your skin. November is a great time to spend it in the ocean and take excursions because the weather is moderately warm and comfortable for different activities. That is why do not forget to bring a cap and a breathable long-sleeved T-shirt to avoid sunburn in Punta Cana.
As a conclusion: what to pack for Punta Cana?
To summarize, as you already know, Punta Cana is warm all year round, and the water temperature is often higher than the air temperature. So, there is no need to pack heavy jackets and jeans in your suitcases. All that is needed is summer clothing that will keep you comfortable and will not make you sweat a lot.
What to wear in Punta Cana
Here are our recommendations on how should
you prepare for Punta Cana in 2023:
Natural fabrics clothes
SPF cream
Waterproof case
So, it is best to wear clothes made from natural fabrics, which will allow air to pass through and keep cool. For more information, we recommend that you read our article on what to pack for Punta Cana. Do not hesitate, regardless of the month, rest assured that you will be satisfied with the weather and have an unforgettable experience of your stay in the Dominican Republic!

I'm sure it's unfair to call this a representational example, but it's funny, so I'm sharing it. I haven't actually used Objective-C before, so please don't take this as anything more than a joke.
It kind of speaks for itself, doesn't it?
It's a sad fact that programming is now too complex – there is now far too many languages and scripting languages out there that if you devote 1 hour each day for each, there wouldn't be enough hours in the day to lern them – obj-C example, who can remember all that,and type it in without an error? Is obj-c same as c++? Wouldbe surprised if they are different, and as for the php example, why is the function called md5? If we are not using an english type language, with english statements, I think that we should all be programming in machine code and have done with it!

Tech Company Launch Vegan Chicken Nuggets in U.S. Schools, Hospitals, and Military Facilities
If there's a vegan chicken nugget that looks, cooks, and costs the same as an animal-derived one, and it's better for the environment and your health, why wouldn't you buy it?
That's what start-up Seattle Food Tech is asking people around America, FoodNavigator reports. The business recently secured a $1 million investment that will help it bring its crispy plant-based chicken nuggets to schools, hospitals, and the military in America.
The company, that has been in operation for less than a year, raised its $1 million in an accelerator program with help from investors like Liquid 2 Ventures, Sinai Ventures Fund, and Uphonest Capital.
"We've been commercially manufacturing plant-based meat replacements for more than a hundred years but the industry as a whole still lacks scale and efficiency," said Seattle Food Tech CEO Christie Lagally at a FoodNavigator summit.
Who says nuggets are just for kids? ? #fridayfun #plantbased #foodie
A post shared by Seattle Food Tech (@seattlefoodtech) on Sep 21, 2018 at 2:02pm PDT
"Plant-based meat chicken products for whatever reason have not achieved the price points people are looking for," she said, adding that schools and hospitals lack access to these products as they can cost two to five times more.
Currently, Seattle Food Tech's vegan nuggets are roughly 30 percent more costly than animal-derived options. However, the business "absolutely will be able to offer them at less than the price of animal-based chicken nuggets," Lagally confirmed.
The company is designing the machinery and facilities required to produce the items at scale, with the product set to reach consumers this month.
Seattle Food Tech's plant-based nuggets, made with textured wheat protein and soy protein, contain four times the fiber and 20 to 30 percent more protein than animal-derived nuggets. The vegan nuggets "plump when you cook them and release a lot of juices and flavor." They also cook faster than conventional chicken nuggets.
Last year, the American Medical Association urged hospitals to remove processed meats like chicken nuggets from their menus due to health concerns, namely that processed meat is classified as a carcinogen. Seattle Food Tech's animal-free nuggets offer a "ready-made solution," Lagally said. Plant-based foods are linked to a lowered risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, chronic disease, and early death. They are also more environmentally friendly, helping universities hit targets for reducing carbon emissions.

PhillyVoice began as a startup news organization eager to embody the City of Brotherly Love; a gateway to culture, events, and stories surrounding the region. The company experienced solid growth within their first year but soon realized that to continue developing their voice, they needed to fine-tune their brand focus. The team required a more consistent mission and coherent game plan to better deliver relevant content to an evolving readership. We were approached to assist PhillyVoice in becoming a top mobile and social source for information from the inside out.
Through our collaboration with PhillyVoice, we succeeded in revamping their verbal platform to better serve digital users with localized, personalized articles. By interviewing employees, conducting readership surveys, and combing through data and analytics, we helped the organization better articulate its position as the number-one mobile supplier for news. We found 30% of readers first heard about PhillyVoice via social media and 49% of their traffic came from their social media platforms. Data also proved that 67% were mobile users and 79% were ages 18-44.
Understanding these statistics better equipped us to define a clear direction and structure for their content. This included promoting their unique and individualized writing styles to reach a broader audience with contagious and shareable content. We showed PhillyVoice how to capitalize on their success while focusing on their distinct attributes.
With a more transparent strategy, stories became more cohesive, accessible, and alluring to a larger audience. Content management improved and data trending to the website continues to increase. We helped transform and strengthen the brand into the dynamic news source it is today, a leader in the Philadelphia marketplace.

Essays on socrates justice
It has seemed to me worth while to show from the history of civilization just what war has done and has not done for the welfare of mankind. In the eighteenth century it was assumed that the primitive state of mankind was one of Arcadian peace, joy, and contentment. In the nineteenth century the assumption went over to the other extreme — that the primitive state was one of universal warfare.
Certainly there be, that delight in giddiness, and count it a bondage to fix a belief; affecting free-will in thinking, as well as in acting. And though the sects of philosophers of that kind be gone, yet there remain certain discoursing wits, which are of the same veins, though there be not so much blood in them, as was in those of the ancients.
Aesthetical Essays of Friedrich Schiller by Friedrich Schiller - Free Ebook
But it is not only the difficulty and labor, which men take in finding out of truth, nor again, that when it is found, it imposeth upon men's thoughts, that doth bring lies in favor; but a natural though corrupt love, of the lie itself.
One of the later school of the Grecians, examineth the matter, and is at a stand, to think what should be in it, that men should love lies; where neither they make for pleasure, as Essays on socrates justice poets, nor for advantage, as with the merchant; but for the lie's sake. But I cannot tell; this same truth, is a naked, and open day-light, that doth not show the masks, and mummeries, and triumphs, of the world, half so stately and daintily as candle-lights.
Truth may perhaps come to the price of a pearl, that showeth best by day; but it will not rise to the price of a diamond, or carbuncle, that showeth best in varied lights. A mixture of a lie doth ever add pleasure.
Doth any man doubt, that if there were taken out of men's minds, vain opinions, flattering hopes, false valuations, imaginations as one would, and the like, but it would leave the minds, of a number of men, poor shrunken things, full of melancholy and indisposition, and unpleasing to themselves?
One of the fathers, in great severity, called poesy vinum doemonum, because it filleth the imagination; and yet, it is but with the shadow of a lie. But it is not the lie that passeth through the mind, but the lie that sinketh in, and settleth in it, that doth the hurt; such as we spake of before.
But, howsoever these things are thus in men's depraved judgments, and affections, yet truth, which only doth judge itself, teacheth that the inquiry of truth, which is the love-making, or wooing of it, the knowledge of truth, which is the presence of it, and the belief of truth, which is the enjoying of it, is the sovereign good of human nature.
The first creature of God, in the works of the days, was the light of the sense; the last, was the light of reason; and his sabbath work ever since, is the illumination of his Spirit. First he breathed light, upon the face of the matter or chaos; then he breathed light, into the face of man; and still he breatheth and inspireth light, into the face of his chosen.
The poet, that beautified the sect, that was otherwise inferior to the rest, saith yet excellently well: It is a pleasure, to stand upon the shore, and to see ships tossed upon the sea; a pleasure, to stand in the window of a castle, and to see a battle, and the adventures thereof below: Certainly, it is heaven upon earth, to have a man's mind move in charity, rest in providence, and turn upon the poles of truth.
To pass from theological, and philosophical truth, to the truth of civil business; it will be acknowledged, even by those that practise it not, that clear, and round dealing, is the honor of man's nature; and that mixture of falsehoods, is like alloy in coin of gold and silver, which may make the metal work the better, but it embaseth it.
For these winding, and crooked courses, are the goings of the serpent; which goeth basely upon the belly, and not upon the feet. There is no vice, that doth so cover a man with shame, as to be found false and perfidious.
And therefore Montaigny saith prettily, when he inquired the reason, why the word of the lie should be such a disgrace, and such an odious charge? Saith he, If it be well weighed, to say that a man lieth, is as much to say, as that he is brave towards God, and a coward towards men.
Plato: The Republic | Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy
For a lie faces God, and shrinks from man. Surely the wickedness of falsehood, and breach of faith, cannot possibly be so highly expressed, as in that it shall be the last peal, to call the judgments of God upon the generations of men; it being foretold, that when Christ cometh, he shall not find faith upon the earth.
Certainly, the contemplation of death, as the wages of sin, and passage to another world, is holy and religious; but the fear of it, as a tribute due unto nature, is weak. Yet in religious meditations, there is sometimes mixture of vanity, and of superstition.
You shall read, in some of the friars' books of mortification, that a man should think with himself, what the pain is, if he have but his finger's end pressed, or tortured, and thereby imagine, what the pains of death are, when the whole body is corrupted, and dissolved; when many times death passeth, with less pain than the torture of a limb; for the most vital parts, are not the quickest of sense.
And by him that spake only as a philosopher, and natural man, it was well said, Pompa mortis magis terret, quam mors ipsa.The son of wealthy and influential Athenian parents, Plato began his philosophical career as a student of kaja-net.com the master died, Plato travelled to Egypt and Italy, studied with students of Pythagoras, and spent several years advising the ruling family of kaja-net.comally, he returned to Athens and established his own school of philosophy at the Academy.
Socrates (— B.C.E.). Socrates is one of the few individuals whom one could say has so-shaped the cultural and intellectual development of the world that, without him, history would be profoundly different.

INTRODUCTION. The special subject of the greater part of the letters and essays of Schiller contained in this volume is Aesthetics; and before passing to any remarks on his treatment of the subject it will be useful to offer a few observations on the nature of this topic, and on its treatment by the philosophical spirit of different ages.
Plato: The Republic Since the mid-nineteenth century, the Republic has been Plato's most famous and widely read dialogue.
As in most other Platonic dialogues the main character is Socrates. It is generally accepted that the Republic belongs to the dialogues of Plato's middle period.

Jacobs Medical Center to Deliver Best Start to Newborns and Families
By Christina Johnson | June 26, 2015
UC San Diego Health has always provided outstanding obstetric and infant care, and when Jacobs Medical Center opens in 2016, that tradition of excellence will be strengthened and enriched.
"Our philosophy is your baby, your way," said Charles Nager, MD, interim chair of the Department of Reproductive Medicine at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine. "Jacobs Medical Center will allow us to offer women more choices in an advanced specialty care center, designed with the mother and infant in mind."
Indeed, three entire floors of the 10-story facility will be dedicated to obstetric and infant care, including supportive services, such as non-invasive fetal genetics testing, fertility preservation for cancer patients and early detection and treatment of preeclampsia.
The 509,500-square-foot medical center, located next to Thornton Hospital, will also foster continued collaborations with colleagues at UC San Diego's Jacobs School of Engineering to develop new medical technologies such as epidermal electronics – wearable electronics that can be placed on an infant's skin to monitor anything from brain waves to skin perfusion.
"This is an exciting time for neonatal and perinatal medicine at UC San Diego Health," said Lance Prince, MD, PhD, chief of the Division of Neonatology at UC San Diego Health. "We are developing new technologies for monitoring babies in a gentle, noninvasive manner, discovering new ways to prevent complications of prematurity and advancing treatments for diseases that once had no therapies, all while emphasizing a family-centered environment that fosters bonding between families and their newborn infant."
Though all 245 patient rooms in Jacobs Medical Center are private and spacious with floor-to-ceiling windows for natural light, new mothers will arguably get the best views in the hospital as all 32 post-partum rooms are located on the tenth floor. Each of these rooms has either a stunning view of the surrounding La Jolla area or an intimate, soothing view of the terraced garden on that floor.
One floor down from the post-partum rooms will be labor and delivery rooms, operating rooms for cesarean section deliveries and a Birth Center, staffed by midwives and modelled after the very popular Birth Center at UC San Diego Medical Center in Hillcrest. Each room in the Birth Center will have a built-in birthing tub and other features to support a natural childbirth experience.
"Our goal is to create a home-like setting for women and infants, nestled within a modern medical facility where highly specialized care is only moments away," said Nager who is also co-director of women's pelvic medicine at UC San Diego Health. "There is also more space for family visits with a modern, warm feel."
A major focus of the new facility will be to advance care for premature and critically ill newborns. To this end, the entire eighth floor is being customized to support a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) with 52 private rooms, each with a foldout bed for a family member.
"Having an infant in intensive care is an emotional time for family members," said Erika Fernandez, MD, interim medical director of the NICU at UC San Diego Health. "Being able to close the door and have privacy can be very calming for a family."
The private NICU rooms are designed to meet the best-practices for reducing an infant's chances of infection. It is also hoped they will nurture a high-touch environment for the infant.
"The womb is not a quiet place for the fetus," said Jae H. Kim, MD, PhD, associate clinical professor of pediatrics at UC San Diego School of Medicine. "The fetus is constantly hearing the mother's heartbeat, breathing and voice. The fetus can detect changes in light. We want the private NICU rooms to be a stimulating, nurturing environment that will activate the baby's brain."
Kim added a mother's touch and voice can reduce the infant's heart rate and improve cognitive development.
"We want the babies to be held and talked to as much as possible and fed mother's milk, even if it is through a feeding tube or from a donor mother," said Kim.
The NICU floor also includes a living room, where families can gather and find support from others going through the same experience.
"When I think about Jacobs Medical Center, I often think about the beauty of the environment and the building and how this will make a family and patient feel," Fernandez said. "The views are calming and tranquil. We've even selected equipment with its feel and look in mind. All parts of the space have been designed to give the baby and family the best start."

Canlaon City is located at the northern most part of Negros Oriental. It is dubbed as the "Fruit and Veggie Basket of Negros Oriental" due to the abundant farming harvest they produce. With rich volcanic soil, friendly people, and breathtaking view, the city of Canlaon is surely a must visit place here in Negros Oriental.
There are many legends on how the city really got its name. But seeing it in a realistic way, Canlaon got its name from the famous Mt. Kanlaon that separates the regions of Negros Oriental and Negros Occidental in the norther part of Negros Island. Before it got its present name, Canlaon City was known as Sitio Mabigo. It was called as such due to the Bigo trees that surrounded the area. By the year 1946, Sitio Mabigo became an official municipality and a year later on, it became an official city.
Being the "Fruit and Vegetable Basket of Negros Oriental", Canlaon City is more of the action than just words. The whole city is blessed with lush green valleys, hills and clear blue refreshing waters ideal for farming. Just a drive around would make one's eyes fully satisfied with the stunning views of their rice and veggie terraces. It is a real treat and an enjoyment to just feel the clean air and breathtaking views.
Another note and visit worth tourist spot in Canlaon City is the Centuries Old Balete Tree aka "Wonder Tree". Balete is a kind of strangling tree that grows around a tree (as host). Many Filipinos belief in the different mythical creatures and beings that lives in any Balete tree, however, this tree is proven to be non-magical and therefore safe to visit. It stands for about 1,328 years old and is considered as the oldest tree in the province of Negros Oriental and possibly in the country.
The story of the ever-famous volcano in Negros Oriental goes that two lovers who were deeply in-love died fighting for their love for one another by choosing death rather than being apart. The majestic sloping curves of the volcano symbolized the tow lovers who are connected as one even after death. Mt. Kanlaon is 2,435 m, and is recorded as the highest volcano not only in the Negros Island but in the whole Visayas as well.
Aside from the towering beauty that Mt. Kaonlaon has to offer, Canlaon City is limitless when it comes to impressing people of its natural phenomenon and views. Some of the most refreshing waterfalls that could be explored in Canlaon is the Padudusan Falls. This is a 25 minutes-drive from the city proper via a local ride called habal-habal. There is no entrance fee, therefore it is one of the locals' and guest's favorite place to visit. Another natural beauty that is worth visiting is the Suludnon Falls.

Some-Fin Fishy About Those Figures: Claimed Extinction Of Ancient Sharks Never Happened, Says Study
Dec 14, 2021Animals, Environment, ScienceComments Off on Some-Fin Fishy About Those Figures: Claimed Extinction Of Ancient Sharks Never Happened, Says Study
By William McGee
A massive shark die-off 19 million years ago that was reported in the prestigious journal Science and made headlines the world over did not actually happen, according to new research.
In June, two U.S. scientists reported a decline in shark diversity with a decrease of more than 90 percent in the abundance of deep-ocean sharks all those years ago.
However, researchers at the Natural History Museum Vienna and others have now cast doubt on the event, saying it probably did not happen.
The Austrian researchers say that due to the relative stability of the deep sea, such an enormous decline in deep-ocean sharks would be surprising.
"In several projects financed by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), we examined marine deposits of the same age in Italy, Greece, Turkey, Tanzania, India, Sri Lanka and Oman. Nowhere was there any evidence of an extinction event 19 million years ago," Mathias Harzhauser, who heads the museum's Geology and Paleontology Department, said in a statement.

According to the new research, the data used by Yale University's Elizabeth Sibert and Leah Rubin were based on microfossil shark scales found in a few grams of deep-ocean sediment.
However, the American researchers overlooked the fact that the amount of sand and mud in the South Pacific increased dramatically at the time of the supposed near-extinction event. As a result, there were suddenly far fewer fossils to be found in the same amounts of samples, which was wrongly interpreted as a dramatic extinction event, the Austrian research shows.
Sibert and Rubin had deduced from their research that due to the alleged near-extinction event, current shark diversity is a fraction of what it used to be.
"The extinction led to a reduction in shark diversity by more than 70 percent and an almost complete loss in total abundance," they wrote.
Despite claiming there had been a near-extinction event, they were unable to explain why, writing: "There is no known climatic and/or environmental driver of this extinction, and its cause remains a mystery."

"We simply corrected the original data using the sedimentation rates, and it turned out that the supposed extinction event is an artifact," Iris Feichtinger of the Natural History Museum Vienna, who led the latest study, said.
"The sharks in the deep sea were not particularly affected by the global climate changes of the Miocene," she said.
"Sharks have a track record of over 400 million years and defy all major mass extinction events," the museum said in the statement.

AIA New Jersey has a very short history of African American Presidents. A list of two, to be exact, and those two history-making leaders were the only pair of AIA New Jersey Presidents that were a parent and son. This relationship may be a possible reason for both men to have risen to AIA New Jersey's highest seat.
AIA New Jersey had the opportunity to interview Bill Brown, III, to share some of the family histories with our members.
Bill was encouraged in the field of architecture from a very young age and blessed with strong, nurturing role models. At nine years old, Bill started working for his dad. Bill's father's office, Brown & Hale Architects, founded in 1952, was always open to him. They were hard on Bill III, but it was still a great blessing. While working and learning, Bill would also enjoy the company and the positive influence of his father's friends and professional peers, like Ralph Jefferson and Van Breuer, FAIA. Speculation could arrive at the idea that Bill III being around so regularly may have been a motivator for Bill Jr. to strive to be AIA NJ president, if for no reason other than to show his son that despite there being no previous African American leaders in AIA NJ, that it was possible!
Edward T. Bowser Sr., born in 1901, was a lifelong resident of East Orange and had a big influence on Bill III. Bowser participated in community affairs and was the first African-American chairman of the city board of adjustment. He was a member of the East Orange Planning Board, the Advisory Committee for the East Orange Golf Course and the East Orange Parking Authority. He served on the Committee of Management for the YMCA, was chairman of the Salvation Army Board, East Orange Police Commissioner, and was an advisor to the Youth Church Council. Along with Bill Brown Jr.'s community service example, seeing Bowser's accomplishments helped Bill to believe that there was plenty of opportunity for him and that there was a great reward in giving back.
In the 1960's Brown and Hale really provided Bill with a well-rounded foundation in the profession. He felt well equipped and comfortable in the office and was ready to expand that circle of experience. For a few summers in his late teens, Bill III worked in construction for Ken Bowser, gaining valuable experience. Bill graduated Howard University in 1977 and envisioned that he would be taking off to travel the United States, work at many different firms to allow for a great, varied professional opportunity, and then strike out on his own. Before he could even announce his plans, his father called out, "See you at work on Monday." After seven years at his father's firm, Bill finally told his dad he had to leave and try to stand on his own two feet. He compounded his professionalism with each new employer.
Shortly thereafter, in 1986, Bill Jr. was president of AIA New Jersey. That was also the time of Bill III meeting the great Eleanore K. Pettersen, FAIA, the first woman president of AIA New Jersey, just one year before his father became the first African American president. It was a time of momentous groundbreaking at AIA NJ. Between Eleanore and his dad, Bill saw that it was really up to members like him to set out searching for the next generation of architects, meeting students and telling them that they all are welcome: women, minorities, everyone! From about that time, and for the next 15 or so years, Bill III worked to engage the youth from the St. Phillips Academy to become more aware of the community around them. Bill brought in LEGOS, took the students on tours of Newark, sponsored their participation in competitions, hosted career days, immersed himself into the schools and brought the students out into the architecture of their own communities. He also began his ascension in the ranks of AIA New Jersey. In 1995, Bill III was president of AIA Newark and Suburban.
It was during this time that Bill developed some of the greatest friendships of his career.
"I have had the pleasure of knowing William M. Brown, III, AIA, for the last 40 years. Bill is one of the finest gentlemen I have ever had the privilege of knowing and I'm proud to call him my friend. When I first met Bill, he spoke only kind words of encouragement about being an architect and of the profession. It was from that moment that our friendship began. But, it was during the spring of 1994, when I was attending the AIA Newark & Suburban Trade Show, that Bill approached me and asked me to attend an AIA Newark & Suburban Section Board meeting. It was through Bill's guidance and friendship that I found myself involved with AIA and volunteering my time to the profession, which I never regretted. More than anything I learned from Bill's leadership by how he conducted himself and how respectful he was with all AIA members. Bill has shown his fellow architects his leadership abilities, as he served throughout the years and ultimately as AIA New Jersey President in 2002. Whatever AIA office, committee chair, or task force Bill has been involved with over the years he has handled it with respect, success, and attention to detail primarily because he takes the time to care.
~ Current NJ State Board of Architects Member and AIA New Jersey Past President and Regional Director, Bob Cozzarelli, FAIA.
Bill explained, "The shortage of African American members and leaders in AIA New Jersey has never discouraged me. I've had great friends and colleagues in AIA who have worked beside me throughout. I have personally tried to always encourage my African American architect peers to join committees, to get more involved, to step up into leadership roles. I have always told myself to let my work speak for me and that has served me well." Ten years after his term as AIA NJ President, Bill served as President of the National Organization of Minority Architects. Always reaching for the next opportunity to be a positive influence and using his leadership skills for the good of his brothers and sisters.
These days, Bill has his own practice in Verona, NJ, as well as working for the Hudson County Engineering Department as a staff architect. He is a long-time member and chairman of the Verona Planning Board. Bill is a mentor to students through the NAACP's Afro-Academic, Cultural, Technological and Scientific Olympics (ACT-SO). A young woman student from Newark has won the gold medal. A Bronze Medal winner from East Orange is now a freshman at Howard University, Bill III's Alma Mater. Bill believes it is a blessing to work with the students and speak with the parents. He knows that architects need to especially reach out to urban school systems. He finds those schools tend not to have computers software or CAD programs to give students exposure like their more suburban counterparts.
Bill's achievements have not gone unnoticed. In 2018, Bill and his wife, Sharon, were presented with the Nelson Mandela Freedom Award from the Greater Newark Conservancy. To learn more about this recent recognition, click here.
While AIA New Jersey may have few stories of African American leaders to share, we could not be prouder of the two we can!
Through sharing this history and reaching out to meet our African American members, AIA New Jersey hopes to attract more minority leaders throughout the organization in the near term as well as the long term. We hope you will encourage your peers, as well.
Bill is an incredible man who inspires me and everyone around him! I also call him a FRIEND; he has reached out to me many times during my years of AIA leadership and I know he is always there routing us on! Looking up to Bill has encouraged me to become the 6th President of AIA-NJ! I am honored to follow in his footsteps! Thank you Stacey for this terrific article that is a great 'read' and a fantastic way to close out our nations proud BLACK HISTORY MONTH!
Bill. You are one of the finest, gentleman I know. Always doi g something to help others. Never. Ever turn your back on another human being. My husband, your cousin. Looks up to you with such respect. Thank you for all you do. We all love you.

Elon Musk to Buy Twitter: Twitter's Request for Speedy Trial
After Twitter made a request for accelerated processing and a hearing as early as this September, the team working for Musk believes the trial should be postponed until the next year.

Elon Musk Requests That the Court Dismiss Twitter's Request for a Speedy Trial
In the latest news in Elon Musk to Buy Twitter, Elon Musk seeks more time to prepare for a hearing over his controversial withdrawal from a $44 billion deal to purchase Twitter, including a filing by his lawyers in a Delaware chancery court on Friday.
Musk's side thinks the trial should be postponed until next year despite Twitter's request for expedited treatment and a hearing as soon as September.

Elon Musk to Buy Twitter
Musk's lawyers said in their brief, which was an objection to a motion filed earlier by Twitter, that the business made a "sudden request for warp speed after two months of foot-dragging and obfuscation," and that this was Twitter's "latest strategy to obscure the facts concerning spam accounts."
According to Musk's side, hastening the hearing would be an unfair strategy and a method to conceal the scope of the platform's issues with fraudulent accounts. Twitter sued Musk earlier this week, saying that the Tesla CEO was attempting to back out of the arrangement in bad faith.
Musk's counsel stated that "trying a complicated failed agreement case within even five to six months would be an 'extraordinary achievement,'" and that "having a trial in February 2023 would balance the interests of the parties and the Court."
Twitter requested a hearing within 60 days.
Twitter did not respond to a request for comment. Musk did not reply to a comment request.

Charles Hill was presented with a published life-time achievement booklet in recognition for his contribution to the community of Derby.
Charles Hill was invited to the Mayor's Parlour for high tea and presented with a published life-time achievement booklet in recognition for his contribution to the community of Derby.
Charles worked as a printer at Bemrose & Sons Ltd until his retirement and also worked as a voluntary community worker. He was committed to pushing forward in an effort to break down social barriers and improve race relations and was a member of the local Committee Race Relations Board.
He was a founder member and President of the West Indian Association and was appointed Justice of the Peace in 1969, becoming the first black Justice of the Peace in Derby and the second in England.
He has been described as a man of honour with integrity and charm, a man always willing to help others with diligence and grace and a man with a strong social conscience who worked tirelessly to better the lives of others in a social and lawful capacity.
He was born in Roseau on the beautiful Island of Dominica and was raised in Scots Head. He came to England in the mid 50's and settled in Derby, where he still lives today, now aged 98 years.
He is a family man, a proud father, grandfather and great grandfather who was married to his late beloved wife Delia. He was accompanied to his presentation by his children.


England felt like a wool bathing suit to Olivia--itching in all the wrong places. Wanting a change she heads to Ireland for an adventure. While in Ireland Olivia gets more than she bargained for when she gives Liam, a handsome Irish stranger, a kiss. Because of their kiss and Olivia's feisty personality she's been innocently dragged into an Irish battle she's never understood. Liam's sense of family duty, his large size and strength has bound him to a fight he never wanted. Though he doesn't want it, he is not afraid to fight...and fight he is forced to do. He now has to run for his life while protecting Olivia at the same time.

Uncharted Territori by Tori Spelling
Uncharted Territori
Author: Tori Spelling
Genre: Memoir
Date Published: June 15th 2010
It's not every Hollywood starlet whose name greets you on a Virgin Airways flight into la-la land. But Tori Spelling has come to accept that her life is a spectacle. Her name is her brand, and business is booming. Too bad when your job is to be yourself, you can't exactly take a break.
Tori finally has everything she thought she wanted—a loving family and a successful career—but trying to live a normal life in Hollywood is a little weird. With the irresistible wit, attitude, and humor that fans have come to love, the New York Times bestselling author of sTORI telling and Mommywood is back with more hilarious, heartwarming, and candid stories of juggling work, marriage, motherhood, and reality television cameras.
Tori comes clean about doing her time on jury duty, stalking herself on Twitter, discovering her former 90210 castmates' "I Hate Tori" club, contracting swine flu, and contacting Farrah Fawcett from the dead. Like many mothers, she struggles to find balance (Stars, they're just like us!)—only most women don't have to battle it out with paparazzi at the grocery store. She talks openly about the darker side of life in the spotlight: media scrutiny over her weight and her marriage to Dean McDermott, her controversial relationship with Dean's ex-wife, and her unfolding reconciliation with her mother.
Having it all isn't always easy—especially when you're a perfectionist—but with the help of her unconventional family and friends, an underwear-clad spiritual cleansing or two, and faith in herself, she's learning to find her happy ending. Because when you're Tori Spelling, every day brings uncharted terriTORI.***
I've read all of Tori Spelling's books so far, and they are starting to run into each other. It's hard to identify each book, they all seem the same. There are some funny parts though in Uncharted Territori. I don't know if I will pick up another memoir from her, I really think she doesn't have much else to say. I would love to read a tell all about her days with 90210, she barely taps into that period of her life. For now though unless she comes out with fiction or a 90210 tell all I'm done reading another Tori Spelling book. I love reading her tweets though, and she does seem like a pretty cool lady.
