(Extract from a novel)
Translation: Katy Derbyshire
The idea that something was thinking there. The landscape multivitamin juice, but only coz of the autumn. Poppies are red, yellow from straw, soil brown, blurred and: orange, coz of orange, coz of the pumpkins, clamped themselves tight to the landscape, that thing with the pumpkins a bit on the vulgar side, but that was only coz of the autumn, but he just didn't look, but that was only coz trains are wild beasts, but those pumpkins wanted to get through his eyes into his head, but but he just didn't look.
But: was it the speed or was something up with time, was it the landscape or just a mistake, was it the landscape that thought that, was it coz of passing by, coz of: pumpkins, coz of: colour wash, poppy, yellow and soil brown, ultimately coz of orange, that the evening mixed itself anew and the landscape turned to juice, that the thinking came, that something was thinking. The orange blinded him a quick cataract, abruptly: the gaping of depths, he looked into a gradient of orange haze and rapids overtake time and gape something open and there was something thinking of the well, back one May, when they met, where they met back then at the well and how unavoidable when someone takes the sun and throws it in and on and everything turns to juice –
But no, what's raking him up here, looking out helps, helps stop remembering, looking always helps stop the pictures, those pumpkins like spilt pregnant marbles, it makes a note in his head when something's got spilt, in nature, not in nature, in a picture when something's spilt somewhere, when something's not tidy, in nature or not in nature, when something's like sorted into the wrong place and scratched on purpose, what that means he doesn't know, but he can't help stumbling then and wants to tidy up, in a picture, when for example in a picture, like for example in this picture, once in the exhibition, in an exhibition, he'd gone to the exhibition, to an exhibition and the angels in the heavens, far down there they kept watch, a Mary, a Joseph, an ox and a bull, shepherds kept watch there and Joseph's no father and asks himself why and in heaven, Someone, the Big Guy has sprinkled a handful of angels into the picture like raisins thrown in and emptied, angels in loose fall, head over heels, on a trampoline, in free flight off the trampoline, angels like bric-a-brac tohu wa bohu gobbledegook, the angels ought to float weightlessly, angels ought to actually, coz that's the usual way, angels glide and gleam ethereally, angels ought to actually generally gesture gallantly, angels giggle gong or gripe or was it an F, they finecomb, but what, what do spilt angels have up the fine sleeves of their filaments? Or are they feinting? Do they want to flambé the heavens? A Ragnarök? Is it a feint and what for? Leapt over the earth in a flick-flack, flick-flack for the somersault, fifflis the salto a flip the turn, the F, the F sees you through their game, those game gymnasts and acrobats! Angels, oh yes, but they were the chaos team, the angels had fallen thrown emptied into a picture, the Big Guy had spilt the angels, a messy heap all a-dither, swirling their arms, holding their filaments neatly and please don't lose the trumpets, trombones, don't lose the cymbals, after this you have to whistle and toot here, after this you have to fiddle and hoot here and always keep smiling! Acrobatics and musical turns! Angels are artists, are all-round entertainers and one-man bands, the Big Guy scattered the raisins or they fell out of his coat, he's in a rush today, rushing with great paces over the land, running today like a man gone berserk, driven today by unease or a new thought, driven by something, the big plan or a guilty conscience, walking in a white chemical coat, always those white chemical coats, when white men –
No, no, he has to brush something off of his head, wipes a hand over his face, over his eyes, he makes ease for himself and it's like this: coz of the men and the rush the chemicals bloat – he makes a: it's like this, wipes a hand over his face over his eyes over his head, when: the Big Guy divides up the heavens, then the angels fall out of his white coat like raisins to the land and: there sits Mary keeping watch, keeping wait for a child and further explanations, for a father to turn up and a room for the night, for angels fallen quite incidentally into the picture and for the musical entertainment, the Big Guy had mercy or he's pulling practical jokes, everything's always easier with music, the whole world's a-dancing, a heavy belly, the angel'll show you a flick-flack, handstand and somersault, someone's making English excuses, an absolute shambles, English excuses. Excuses? Excuse my French. Is that right? If it's right. Then comes young Gabriel with an indecent proposal, then the Big Guy sends him out, Go, says the Big Guy and he's too busy right now, things to do, in the chemistry lab or the flowerbed, thinking on splitting the atom or synthetic pantyhose, who knows, raking the beds in the garden coz spring is awakening and March winds April showers bring forth May flowers, so Go, says the Big Guy to young Gabriel, and give Mary a message, tell her, says the Big Guy, no, don't come out with it straight away, break it slowly, you know, break it to her slowly, first you give her a little something, a, well what? He's standing in the lab, it's a beautiful reaction in a tube, a bottle of chloroform, a molecule as symbol, the little in the big, the fruit in thy womb, a molecule would be beautiful and chloroform practical, coz the message is bad, perhaps best digested in a bit of a daze and a bit of a wooze, take something along, he says to young Gabriel, take her flowers, that's how you do it, and then tell her I haven't got time, coz of the lab, coz of the garden, tell her the lab's work for upcoming centuries, the garden's for yesterday's papers, tell her – oh no, don't bother, what does Mary care about chemistry, about my vegetables, just take something along, say hi from me and think something up.
Right-o, says young Gabriel, picks pretty flowers and thinks up a nice poem. He does what the Big Guy told him but he does his own thing, young Gabriel goes and disappears in F, flick-flacks down to earth and excuse my French, coz he's still young, coz he's a kid at heart and a greenhorn, coz he's full of the joys of spring, coz it's March, coz excuse his French, coz he can't help it, coz he doesn't want to, Mary, Mary Mary don't be contrary, hail Mary, the Lord is with you, come with me to bed, I'm with you be with me, don't be contrary, lie with me, visit my tent, G for young Gabriel, for glorified accursed, G for full of grace, H for Hail Mary and Hallowed be thy name and F for the fruit, trumpets for the music and flowers for the romance, a lily for love, come to me sweetheart, come close to me, I've something to tell you from the Big Guy, I'll tell you a story, I'll tell you a real incredible story, come sweetheart, let's make a baby, you know, the Big Guy says the way other people do it is easy for him, it's hard for him, I don't know why he's not coming himself. Why? Well, you know, it's like this, maybe he's busy, held up, too much to do, a date at the lab, he plays around with stuff there, he likes a big bang, he invents fireworks, dynamite, nuclear fusion, and then one day he says the word and puts it out in the world for someone to find and admire, try out, maybe he sent me coz he couldn't find a form, no costume to suit, what disguise should he choose, he can't come as a swan, he's not a great bull, he's not playing at zoos here, that's just ridiculous. D'you like brass bands, sweetheart? Coz listen, when he speaks it's a droning a jangle, it's the hard noise of trumpets, but lean down to me, I'll whisper in your ear, I'll tell you tenderly what he said to make the earth move, come to me, a tent is an inner ear, a magic cloak for disappearing, they'll paint us but nobody's looking, they'll tell of us but nobody's seen, I'll say I said hi like the Big Guy just said, I'll say you were surprised? Yeah? Appalled? Aghast? Something beginning with A – Agog? Yeah? An A's good for affecting and actions reactions, an A for afterword, but we're right in the middle, coz you're ripe or the time is, look, I'll make you a baby, it's all his idea – more or less – and his ideas are good, he thinks and he says and he looks and: it's good.
The only thing is, he'll admit, what about this appalled reaction to the annunciation – shall I tell him like that, yeah? Appalled? I'll tell him later: I said hi, I told her everything and she was appalled, aghast, shall I tell him that, that absolutely appalled face, appalled through and through and deeply aghast, I've never seen such an appalled –
And why then, he'll note, why then does Mary, when something's announced, when I send my special angel with important information and joyful news, when she gets such an interesting visitor, why then such a face and: why then does Mary look like something's been stolen, like someone said: Ragnorök, why then her a face like she'd seen the devil, when I specially sent young Gabriel, why then such an incredible face like someone shat in her brain, when it's just getting interesting, but no, there's that appalled aghast look and Mary's face like: you're kidding me, right, and: I must be hearing things, and: say it again, kid.
But the idea that something was thinking, the thoughts going walking as if his head were a fairground, a cabinet of curiosities, a playground with seesaws, that fiddling and swinging, the unceasing running, it messed with his mind, that tempo of constantly running seesawing jumping children, making everything rush in his head, it's coz of the spillage, that makes a note in his head, there lie the pumpkins spilt out and pregnant and clamp themselves tight to the soil or the brain, someone ought to sort them out, sort them into a shelf, it's clear that the colour wash can't be healthy, coz of the sky like petrol, coz of an orange haze that got it wrenched out of his head, that something was thinking of a well, it was in May and as if the sun had got drunk but all he wanted to think was: pumpkins, or: orange, or: that remembering was falling, and then –
No, that's wrong, not that, that – looking out helps, looking helps, galloping trains across the land, that storming of gargantuan beasts, the velocity multiplied by the landscape, that calls for use of the colour wash, outside someone applied the autumn onto an oiled wall with great rollers and wild beasts scattered all through, running on legs much faster than wheels, and he looked out of a tiny cell of a wrenching womb, the carriage a honeycomb cubicle a scale in a shell a stone in a mosaic, looked out at the exemplary autumn, they'd made the sky interesting with sandpaper, dropped shavings from the sun, it was such carved-out light: naive art, sun like Saint Christopher's fingers, Saint Joseph, Saint Francis –
No – no he thinks. When someone brings Christopher out of the wood, Saint Joseph and always a child on his shoulders, when: not subtle – naive, someone brings all his fingers out of the wood, his ears, his face, a light like that: carved, embossed, curved shavings, like: naive art. We need someone who thinks about naive art if Saint Christopher's to have a baby Jesus sitting on his shoulder and the whole world, a baby Jesus and not one you know, coz it's a matter of principle not of details, if Saint Christopher's shoulders shoulder his child – but where is he walking, that's coz the naives in art like to be children at heart and that childish heart makes the shit happen, the naive in art's not out of nowhere, it's the peasants with minds like a chopping block, so naive they don't know what to do with them and they knock down the trees to make art, to chop out a Saint Christopher coz that's who they like, heaven knows why they've such a liking for that skinny malinky who crosses the ford, knows naught about nothing, no plan, no idea of the world, presumably coz he knows so little, the brain of a sparrow, thick as two planks, coz he's so naive that's why the naive so disgracefully love shredding away at his rough-hewn limbs, coz they think: one of us. And then there's Joseph: another naive one. How naive must you be to let someone plant a son in your wife's belly, made of nothing or English excuses, created in tohu wa bohu and higgledy-piggledy, but they feel a childish joy when a simple carpenter smiles out of the enslaved former tree, a tiny light in a big big story, the man from next door, cuckolded outright by an all-round entertainer, but –
Where a context remained, his thoughts just came as fractals and people went in and out of his mind; if only he could bring in some structure, then there'd be: a cauliflower, cleverly compassed and primped by geometry, a romanesco and rose after rose, it makes the romanesco understand the problems of fractals and the thing with the indices, what he means to say, the thing he means to say is like this, a like this: if he brought a numbering system in and an alphabet, an architecture, a staggering plan: then there'd be something like a murder and its course of events and evidence by evidence, young Gabriel'd be a vegetable rose, a floret, Saint Christopher'd carry a romanesco on his shoulders, the whole world, vegetables like a great city, a fortress and inside the house, all laid out, the key to the big in the little, in the evidence the course of events and his murder or vice versa, the common thread and what's to be discovered, suddenly looking at a picture and diving into its geometry, cauliflower tastes good and it's healthy just like colour wash isn't healthy, it's cauliflower for understanding fractals and architecture, naivety and art and romanesco's its most beautiful child.
On the fields now lies frost, the cold like grief, when something turns crooked and sober, when – what he means to say, he means to say something. When it's May? No. When it's evening, no. When the sun's got drunk, no, when it's a well, no, and a war's raging inside it, not that – when that comes, then: no, that you work your way in, to deeper layers, that you have to think: no, but is it a rhythm, a beat, is it the way of the world, when that lurching turns to wailing, a high tone, rapid pictures, when: bodies brim over the milk boils over heat rises time spirals, when: the heavens topple time squared one horse mounts another, a flip book, a fast hand. Outside something falls, something falls over out there, the day falters, someone spills out the evening already a hard night, the sun paints its face crisp, that detailed idea of crisp rolls like crisp light everything crisp and a hoarse morning, the sun yellow as breakfast, late day – the thinking, if he could think strictly enough then something'd come clear, it was like this, a like this: outside was an autumn and the sun in the evening like breakfast. That's right. Like breakfast like crisp, like a hoarse throat, a word like: woman, a woman, if he thought it said it saw it, a woman, time files down his face, now he's rough, the heavens a jam jar of redcurrants, moist, shining, what's time doing here, time was going walking or getting lost or just standing still, time was passing and it was May, the heavens, standing, summoning strength, then someone screws on the lid, a memory a picture a May day, preserved in a jar like a curiosity on a shelf, a boiled-down puree out of a well with mermen and nymphs and hold your horses Neptune, in the well where they met, the horses are rearing, everything's rising, when: a nymph's skin is so smooth and green with algae, with licking, coz the water there's always licking and soaping away at it, when something gets slippery and slick, that's where he met her in May, come here to me, now he's rough, skin lusting, now he's raging hungry, a desire like moist, it's bridled and horses have hot foam, the nymphish heavy green and then just her scent, he couldn't go on, he had to breathe it in like devouring the stuff, then he heard the time passing or just setting the beat, sorting something, coz it was all so confused, he'd have liked to tear and devour her then over and in the well, he'd have liked to dunk her and swirl her in, he'd have liked for the waters to deport themselves, for the seas to rage and the nymphs to rise, those solid bodies to snake and turn, to look, in his face, for her to look him in the face when he took her, he'd have liked that, always that deathly fear, coz it's always everything at stake, always everything at stake, and at stake is: everything and always, it's so quickly everything at stake. What has to happen goes quickly.
It ought to have been quick and even quicker, it ought to have been that a wave breaks, a backbone, a brain is a nut, that you break it, that he bends her back until something clicks flips out cracks and dunks, takes, he ought to have taken her quickly, for that captivates, he ought to have captivated her and cracked nuts till they sang, he ought to have captivated her then or wound her up on a loom for weaving and with the mechanics, he ought to have used the mechanics and stretched to the utmost, coz: everything, that's what's at stake, everything, always, wind her up and like for weaving a carpet and look at me, look at me always, give me your fear, a need, beg me.
The orange in the well, a water rent by rage, the sun making blood or slitting a nymph, green, red, there comes the eagle-eyed night in the water, falling, submerged in a hole and the noise so deafening you have to scream, when the lust eats you up so you can't stand it any more, coz then the bodies grow too few and what's cut up hacked up with a sinewy axe, so that someone sharpens a scythe, a knife for filet for hearts for the slitting of bellies, so that someone drives the machine and grinds something sharp, so that the sound remains of the grinding and grinding and someone arches the heavens into cloth for a moment and pulls down the corners of the tent, punching them in place, that someone makes a room and no escaping, time's going walking or getting lost, there they stand and look at each other and there he demands. Her body, that he wants everything, coz any less is ridiculous, shrill shivers pass over backs like showers over land, giving you desire and making you dark and afraid, making you think you have to go and snatch, snatch a woman and rip her apart and tear her open, so greedy there's no holding back and no guarantees against turning wild and turning round, come here to me, come to me, give me take my dissolve yourself, turn around I'll bring you round.
He looked outside, a feeling like thunder and lightning, but that was just the feeling, what's thinking and where to, it just messes everything up and makes a tohu wa bohu like trumpeting angels in free fall, poppycock, poppyseed poppyfish poppyhead, that's right, P for pumpkin, he used to have, these, tables, he'd drawn up such lovely tables, with the numbers, letters for the order he likes, so: here are pumpkins freshly lacquered, the autumn soil on fields poppies beautiful as brides, the pear falling, grapes ripe, a magpie cawing, black the elderberry, wings, flying – no, where was he, at P for pied bird, coz it was autumn, coz of the combinatory logic, coz it's clever – now he's had an important thought, now he's lost that important thread, he'd already got it all through the eye of the needle, he'd already had the common thread in the eye and could have sewn something up nicely, what was it, was it pears grapes elderberries, but that's, is that a common thread? No, not a thread, not a thread and nothing in common, you can't sew anything with pears and grapes, there are no threads, fruit is no thread, fruit belongs to the order of fruits and threads belong to the order of the wool-like, you can't mix and match everything in the categories and make it fruitful with one another, that makes your thoughts into squinting cripples, that's why there's the fruit-like on one hand and you put them in bowls or on a lady's hat, and the common thread you wind on bobbins and tidy it into sewing boxes like harmonicas for order, there's the thread and it's common and red, common and red like memories, common and red like blood, like love and brave courage, red is everything that aches and hurts, it's red when the shelves in your head fall over and the jam jars smash, when the heavens tower up to a tantrum, red is destruction and wailing and all the important common red threads, bobbins lying around are dangerous for falling and stumbling over and breaking something, if you follow the bobbin and flush out the magpies from ravaged fields, a brief blackout, the heavens darken, you lay out the thread and it must have been one late autumn and with the cold the swarms of crows that come over from Russia, where they'd otherwise fall from the heavens frozen into bitter cubes like elsewhere angels raisins poppycock, frozen or devoured by the Russians, coz they eat them, the Russians snatch at the crows like elsewhere young quails, when the cold grew too great and the Russians too hungry the crows came in huge swarms and when they came. When they came. Then a darkening and a rushing sound and a cawing, when suddenly the light choked and the world collapsed, then a wild crow chase right across the heavens that whipped itself up, crows drinking at abandoned souls and a screeching a screaming to make you want to lock up your face, your right mind, your heart, a thrown rage, no, a taunting conscience, shaped out of dangerous inklings, suddenly there were these masses, these many, it was a black many, pixelated out of thousands of tiny bodies, when the crows had descended on town you could always come across one, sedately and breezily hacking a squirrel to death, hacking its face to pieces, watching, looking so peacefully and with a sawing certainty, hacking away, always at the face, sour blood coming out of its eyes now, its soft cheeks, crying now out of its delicate mouth, the crow hacking the beast quite calmly closer, and no one knows why, but there was no talk of fleeing by then, the tiny beast just stood up straight and looked face to face, looking its end in its two mocking eyes, a crow hacking forth a death with no compromise no contradiction and no moment of doubt, two creatures knew what was at stake and no escape, that was what happened when the crows had settled on the town, that he met her again, when the thousands of birds ate away the light on these weather-beaten evenings, it's a time like a murder, a murder of crows, when that transition to night looks at you like a clenched fist and something grinned at him, a fat tongue licked across his face and leaves him in bad fear, it was on an evening like that that he saw her, that he met her, crossed her path or had he flushed her out sought her out hunted her down –
But, but, if, if thinking won't work now coz she's scribbling in the columns of his tables or spilling something on the alphabet, a tea or an idea or raisins, putting down a cup or a joke, if she makes alphabet soup of his words and eats it all up and repeats and nothing's right now, coz her digestion's all wrong or coz she can't cook, coz alphabet soup's dangerous and unhealthy, coz colour wash can't be healthy, coz it washes all the colours together, then he loses like that, then something comes inside him that's like: red, wild blood courses inside him and a ghastly fear seizes him that she'll always spill something and he won't stand the spilling, not in the pictures and not in nature and not where there's no nature, nothing ought to be, nothing may be spilled and a working in his head like playing a piano, did he lie in wait hunt her down shoot her down, no, but no, always this falling into the pictures and sometimes a flash and like dreaming that he grabbed her, that's strange. That he could hit her like that, that he strangled her like that, threw discarded spilt the child, that it was a gutting a dismembering a slaughtering – he doesn't know if that's true, coz it almost couldn't be, it can't be and now the land goes past, a train always strives for its goal and the darkness come ashen-faced or is the outside only in the window panes, silted corners, he doesn't get up, he's like listening and the uncertainty whether it's true. Whether anything's true. Whether everything's only a web and like mechanics in motion, when you reach in your fingers break. The thinking, the remembering, the woman, whether she's true, the woman, the child, but it's a mixture in his head, damn it, a head, a head's not a fairground, but there's the thinking of the child and his head's like fluff, a woman and his wife, that a woman was his wife, that a pain rakes him up hot like this and throws the dice anew and there's nothing that passes, it's a gutted tunnel and a glass slide, someone pulls something out from under his feet and if he could he would reach out for something, it'd be in the world, but there's nothing, there's nothing in the world that remains, there remains: nothing, a working in his head like playing a piano, that something was thinking, but he didn't like that. He didn't like that.

Stress test & end of Alpha dates
Happy new year tamers!
2020 is shaping to be a very busy year for Temtem. We're very excited to share with you everything we have ready for the next coming months, but that news will have to wait a bit because today we need to talk about the Alpha and the upcoming Stress test.
The Alpha is reaching its end
After 13 months of continued support and non-stop access to the Temtem Alpha, the time of farewell is coming really soon. As we work on moving forward with the public Early Access launch for Temtem we need to stop the Alpha access so we can work freely on improving the server and doing the final touches to get everything ready.
Alpha will close on Jan 9th @ 10am PST / 1pm EST / 7pm CET.
After this date, players won't be able to log in to the server.
Stress test dates and FAQ
Just before launching publicly, we want to run a stress test to properly test everything out. The stress test will help us test the maximum capacity of our servers and will also allow us to identify potential problems before going public.
These tests are going to be distributed between different days and timeframes:
Jan 11th @ 10am-2pm PST
Jan 19th @ 9am-11am PST
What is the stress test?
It is a public and free test for Temtem. We want to run this test in order to have a better estimation of how the servers will behave on launch day.
As a user, participating in the stress test will allow you to take a first look at Temtem before the game is released and in the process, help us out.
You can sign-up using your email on http://playtemtem.com
You will be contacted during Jan 9th and Jan 10th, and you will be given a Steam key which you can redeem for test access.
If I play during the stress test, will I own the game when it launches?
No. The Stress test key will only grant access during the stress test hours. In order to keep playing Temtem when the game is released on January 21st, you'll need to buy the game.
Will progress made during the stress test be kept on the release?
No. Everything will be wiped out from the server before going into the Early Access release.
Are there any limits on available content during the stress test?
No. Everything currently available on the Alpha will be available during the stress test (the campaign, co-op, pvp, trading…).
I am a backer. Do I need to get an invitation?
No. If you currently have access to the Alpha, you'll get access to the stress test. You will be able to use the same player you currently have and the same installation you have for the Alpha.
Will progress done during the Stress Test carry forward when the game launches?
No. Everything will be wiped before launching the game into Early Access.


Another state we had high hopes in and were sobered up (status before heading to the south-east part).
We stayed in Missoula for a night, and then in Kalispell for another to check out Whitefish. That little town seems like a facade fairyland between trailer parks and Walmart. I don't say that this is how it is. It's just the feeling I had. It's a beautiful downtown, for sure. Small ice cream stores and souvenir stores and a beautiful playground. But it felt staged and not real. A facade for the tourists. We ended up leaving the next day (after eating ice cream and buying souvenirs).
Like I said, we weren't really in the mood for sightseeing. But since we were half an hour out of Glacier National Park, we decided to head over there. They have campgrounds in the park, but checking the website showed us they filled up every day before 9am. So we decided to give it a try Sunday morning (45 min drive from the Kalispell Walmart), and if we ended up not getting a site we'd leave it with a day of exploring. Turns out, we got the last one (at 8:40am), and it's one of the most beautiful and secluded ones. And so, instead of one day superficial exploring we ended up staying for the whole 14 days you're allowed to stay. Yes it is a campground and it's close quarters (though not the closest we ever experienced). But it is beautifully located in the woods, Lake Mc Donald is 10 minutes by foot for a quick after-work dip and the park is one of the most beautiful ones we've ever visited.
Since we stayed for so long we ended up exploring most of the park, including spontaneous late-night drives up the Going-to-the-sun road (sharp turns, super narrow and extremely beautiful).
The park is super crowded with tourists though, even on a Thursday morning there is no way to stop at any point on the Going-to-the-sun-road because every pullout and every parking lot is full. We found a nice secluded spot at a maintenance road in the Many Glacier area, but that was about it. Except for when it started to rain and everybody left and missed the rainbow.
One of the highlights of each day is the morning circus though, with cars+trailers and Class A Dieselpusher speeding through the campground loops in hopes to find the last free site. The kids are not allowed outside until it quiets down, because they're hitting the 30mph, eyes on the site posts. It is a solely first-come-first-serve campground, so you need to get here early and I know we've been extremely lucky. It's still quite a circus.
I love boondocking, not paying for our backyard, especially with friends around. But I really enjoy the campgrounds right now, not having to worry about anything other than driving up to the dump station and the 10pm internet-connectivity-drop when everyone calls it a night and then checks Instagram. That settling-down-bug got something on us especially since we're tired with the planning of every single week or day, the hardest and most exhausting part (ask almost anyone doing this). Figuring out where to stay next is exhausting.

Chris Brown and Soulja Boy Dubai-Bound for Boxing Match
Chris Brown, Soulja Boy We're Boxing in Dubai To Make a Fortune Off Pay-Per-View
Chris Brown and Soulja Boy are gearing up for a bloodbath in the ring, but for various reasons they can't pull it off in the U.S. ... so we've learned they're planning to fight it out in Dubai.
Sources connected with both Chris and Soulja tell TMZ they genuinely dislike each other and each wants to beat the crap out of the other, but what they want more than anything is a huge paycheck by running the fight on Pay-Per-View.
The initial plan was for a Vegas fight, but we've learned there are several rules and regs that would make such a fight impossible there, not the least of which is a mandatory drug test for amateur fights ... which both Chris and Soulja know they would never pass.
We're told their plan is to take the fight overseas -- first choice Dubai -- and they believe the Pay-Per-View audience would rake in untold millions of dollars.
Both Chris and Soulja have talked about making this a charity fight, but we're told some of the money will line their pockets.

Q: Prevent iPhone app to run on iPad I'm shipping two binaries; one for iPhone/iTouch and the other for iPad.  It's the same application.
Will Apple ensure that the user will never receive an iPhone version of the app on the iPad? If YES, then I don't have anything to worry about, but if not then I do have a problem.
The reason I ask is the iPhone application will simply not work correctly on the iPad because the server knows it's an iPad and will deliver the iPad HD content to it and the iPhone cannot handle that.  I would rather not hack my application to send the server a fake device type if running the iPhone app on the iPad in order to receive the correct resources.
Suggestions?

A: Actually you can.
Add telephony to UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities in your plist file.
But i really not recommend it and maybe you could get rejected because of gratuitously using this property.
I think you should handle that there are iPad versions and iPhone versions on iPads, use the second one as an iPhone.
Also don't forget that retina iPads will use upscaled applications at retina resolution while none retina ones use the standard resolution. And this behavior can tweaked using jailbreak tweaks like RetinaPad and FullForce.

A: I've been looking for this for a while because I couldn't prevent the iPhone app to load on the iPad. Searched a bit to understand why this was happening, followed @hotpaw2 instructions and found this on the official apple store rules:

UPDATE:

2.4.1 To ensure people get the most out of your app, iPhone apps should run on iPad whenever possible. We encourage you to consider
building universal apps so customers can use them on all of their
devices. Learn more about Universal apps.

https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/

A: The SDK and/or App store rules prohibit you from preventing an iPhone app from running on an iPad in 1X or 2X zoom mode, unless there are other requirements listed in the app plist.  Apple's app review is known to test iPhone-only app submissions (unless there are other requirements) on an iPad, and reject the app if it doesn't run properly.
Other requirements (as listed under UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities in the app's plist) might include your app requiring telephone capabilities (or healthkit, etc.), which might help you temporarily, but still won't prevent the app from running on some hypothetical future iPad product that includes telephony capabilities (and/or healthkit, etc.).

A: In the plist settings, add Application requires iPhone environment and set the boolean to YES


However the unemployment rate is now at 3.7 percent, the lowest since 1969, and wage pressures have begun to build. The Federal Reserve has been raising interest rates in an effort to stave off future inflationary pressures, though the central bank's preferred gauge of inflation rose just 2.5 percent in the third quarter, including a 1.9 percent increase for health benefits.
"The employment cost index data adds to the broader evidence that wage growth has continued to trend gradually higher over recent quarters," Michael Pearce, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics, said in a note. "And with labor market conditions still tightening, we expect wage growth will accelerate further from here."
The wage data came the same day that ADP and Moody's reported private payroll growth of 227,000 in October, easily beating Wall Street expectations. The combination of news sent Treasury yields higher in morning trading.


Let's just get this out there — this is a very cool novel. If you dig SF that's not beholden to space ships and lots of future tech — and can even handle a little bit of magic, you'll want to read this one.
Tanegawa's World is a little forgotten backwater of a planet — think Tatooine — so forgotten that none of the colonists there really have a clue that there's an interplanetary government, or what's going on with any other planet. The company that runs the mines (and by extension, the farming communities that support the mines) runs the whole show. There are organizations of workers in individual towns, and there's a loose network connecting them, for mutual assistance and support. And then there are the Ghost Wolves — a band of mercenary bikers. They are a law unto themselves, but have strong ties to the miner groups. They may be supported by/sympathized with by most people in the towns, but officially they're outlaws.
Hob Ravani is the lowest ranked member of the Wolves — she's made some serious blunders that required her to go through the training/probationary process twice. But she's a full-fledged member now, and the leader, Nick Ravani (no blood tie, but he gave her his name), seems to trust her, even as he's still testing her commitment following these blunders. Making a routine run with a couple of other Wolves, Hob finds the body of Nick's brother lying dead in the sand, shot in the back several times. This discovery — and the ensuing investigation, retaliation, and the side-effects of both — will end up changing Tanegawa's World and the lives of many of its people in ways that no one can expect.
Which is not to say that this is a big, global story. It's not. This is about Hob and her immediate circle. They just find themselves (and, eventually, put themselves) in some critical areas — and also don't realize just what they're getting themselves into. Mag, the dead man's daughter, is Hob's estranged best friend, and will be the favorite character of many readers. There are Geri and Freki — twins who are only slightly senior to Hob when we meet them, they're not really friends of hers, but they are allies she can count on when she needs to — and on this world, that might be more important. There's Coyote, who I enjoyed immensely, and a couple of other Wolves that we spend time with, but most aren't factors in the story. There's one more person in her circle, the Bone Collector — I'm not even going to try to sum him up in a sentence, but he's worth getting to know.
There is something that could be magic going on here — it's definitely seen as magic by some. It might be radiation-induced mutation. It could be some sort of world-spirit/alien entity doing something to people. It's tough to say, and it really doesn't matter — some individuals on Tanegawa's World possess abilities that others don't. The ultimate cause of those abilities makes no difference to the story, it's interesting to speculate about (and to see why various groups adopt their interpretation and how they use it) — but at the end of the day, it just means that there are a few characters walking around with extra abilities which don't define them, but are definitely helpful.
The plotting is good, the pacing is strong, and there's a strong voice throughout the work. This is just an impression — I can't quote anything to verify it (were I a professional, I'd make the effort), but while the voice is consistent and strong throughout, I think Wells is a bit more aggressive about it in the opening chapters. In sort of a "come on strong and get you into the world" then dial back to "now here's the story." Or maybe it's "throw you into the deep end" and then let you swim undisturbed. Or maybe I acclimatized Or maybe I should stop trying to make this point and move on. My overall point on voice — both the narrative voice, and the individual characters — it that it was strong, clear and engaging — the kind that you want to spend 300 pages with. Wells demonstrates the chops to keep and build an audience, if they'll just give the book a shot.
I've seen a lot of comparisons to Dune and this world — I've never been able to get through much of the first book, and nor the adaptations — so I can't comment. There's a lot of sand, so, I guess maybe. Tanegawa's World feels like something out of O'Keefe's Scorched Continent or Firefly — a mining/agricultural society in what might as well be the Old West with (some) better technology than we have. Arguably, this planet is a little less hospitable to humans and The Powers That Be are a shade more corrupt.
I've also seen a lot of talk about the biker gang aspect of the book. It didn't feel as prominent as I'd have liked — it was there, but it didn't seem that vital to the nature of the mercenary crew the Ravani leads. If I had to compare it to anything, the Ghost Wolves felt more like a UF werewolf pack than anything else. That may say more about what I've been reading than anything that Wells wrote, still I got more of a Briggs/Vaughn/etc. vibe to the group than a Kurt Sutter-vibe. Outside of a handful of individual members, I didn't get a clear feel for the Wolves. It's understandable, Wells had a lot balls in the air and was doing just a good job juggling them that I didn't notice. In retrospect, however, I'd have appreciated a little more time with this aspect.
I feel like I've gone on too long here, but I haven't touched all the things I want to say. There's just so much going on in these few hundred pages! Despite all that, you don't get bogged down in the worldbuilding, the details, the backstories, or anything — Hunger Makes the Wolf is a fun, fast, gripping read. I trust there's a sequel on the way. There just has to be. Not that this isn't a complete story — there's just a lot of threads that beg to be picked up. Either way, you'll want to read this one.
Disclaimer: I received this eARC from Angry Robot via NetGalley in exchange for this post — thanks to both for this opportunity.
Is this the one you had de-post the other day?
Nope, that one's still forthcoming. This one ran back in early Jan.
I know the feeling. As I recall, you were scandalized by my Dune confession.

Aaron Copland, the Dean of American composers
Who hasn't heard Fanfare for the Common Man, composed in 1942 for the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra? However, few people know that its composer Aaron Copland (1900-1990) also wrote a fanfare for Grand Rapids.
Copland was commissioned by the city of Grand Rapids to write a fanfare for the 1969 unveiling ceremony of La Grande Vitesse (loosely translated as "the Grand Rapid") by American sculptor Alexander Calder (1898-1976) and the dedication of its location, Vandenberg Center plaza.
Calder's outdoor sculpture was the first work of American art to be commissioned and financed by both federal and private funds. His large red stabile La Grande Vitesse soon became the symbol of Grand Rapids and was the site of GRSMA's popular "I Got Rhythm" video in 2011 to showcase the importance of our musicians to the west Michigan community. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=To-aCcbT1YU&t=22s

Inaugural Fanfare received its premiere by the Grand Rapids Symphony (GRS) on Flag Day, June 14, 1969, under the baton of then Music Director Gregory Millar. While Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man only calls for brass and percussion, Inaugural Fanfare added the woodwind section to that ensemble.
Currently available by the British music publisher Boosey & Hawkes (https://www.aaroncopland.com/works/inaugural-fanfare/), Copland's three-minute fanfare for Grand Rapids was revised in 1975 for the city's installation of a rooftop Calder painting located near the site of La Grande Vitesse.
The GRS continued its connection with the composer, releasing an all-Copland CD in 2000 (during David Lockington's first year as Music Director) and programming Copland's Third Symphony for the orchestra's 2005 Carnegie Hall debut performance.
During their 92nd season, the GRS performed Fanfare for the Common Man several times. In September 2021, Copland's popular piece opened the dedication ceremony of the newly-renovated Frederik Meijer Garden and Sculpture Park. The grandness of this fanfare was appropriate to mark the completion of the massive $115 million expansion project for west Michigan's largest non-profit organization. https://www.wmta.org/frederik-meijer-gardens-sculpture-park-announces-completion-dedication-of-spectacular-new-welcome-center-part-of-the-115-million-expansion-project/
The iconic fanfare also was included on the GRS February 2022 Classical Series concerts. https://www.grsymphony.org/new-world

It was fortunate that our city was able to secure both a sculpture and a fanfare by two leading American arts figures in the 1960s. While La Grande Vitesse eventually became the symbol of the city, perhaps Grand Rapids needs to claim its own theme song too.


A recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology reveals that the CA-125 blood test provides more accurate information on the prognosis of ovarian cancer than results from scans or ultrasound following chemotherapy for progressive disease.
Ovarian cancer is a malignancy that arises from various different cells within the ovaries. Approximately 25,000 new cases of ovarian cancer are diagnosed in the United States each year. Unfortunately ovarian cancer often goes undetected until the disease has progressed into the abdomen or spread to other organs.
Treating ovarian cancer is often difficult, resulting in poor outcomes, which has prompted a great deal of research to identify ways of effectively treating the disease and measuring treatment responses after chemotherapy, surgery or radiation. CA-125 is an antigen found in the blood that is produced in ovarian cancer and is a good indicator of cancer activity. During treatment of ovarian cancer, this marker is often measured to determine if the cancer is being affected by treatment. In addition to the CA-125 blood test, treatment responses are also measured by CT scans or ultrasounds. This study was designed to determine which method provides the best information regarding ovarian cancer outcomes.
In this study, 131 patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer who had undergone 2 different cycles of chemotherapy were evaluated with CT scan or ultrasound, as well as with CA-125 blood tests. The CA-125 results were found to be 2.6 times better than the standard results obtained from CT scans or ultrasounds at determining survival, with higher levels associated with poorer survival.
Researchers concluded that this cost-effective test is a good prognostic tool for patients who have undergone second-line treatment for ovarian cancer. Patients with higher levels of CA-125 may seek more aggressive or intensive treatment than their counterparts or may wish to participate in a clinical trial evaluating novel therapeutic approaches.

Invested in a car parking scheme? You could be owed compensation
Home » Industry Insights » Latest News » Invested in a car parking scheme? You could be owed compensation
Back in 2015, Action Fraud warned pension holders and investors against putting any money into airport car parking schemes.
Pension freedoms had just been introduced by George Osbourne and co, and unregulated Sipp (self-invested personal pension) investment and mis-selling activity was rife. At the time, members of the public were being approached via cold calls with high-risk investment schemes touted as high-return opportunities.
One such scheme was airport parking. Investments involved people buying leases on car parking spaces near to large city airports such as Gatwick and Glasgow, which would be rented out to airport passengers for a profit.
These investments were unregulated by the FCA and as such, deemed as high risk.
The Park First fiasco
In October 2019, the FCA started legal proceedings against a company called Park First, its directors, and a number of companies connected to the group. Several of these companies had been placed into administration back in 2017.
According to the FCA's website, the Park First scheme involved an illegal collective investment scheme established to operate car park investments using funds from members of the investing public.
It has been reported that these companies failed because they did not have the funds to pay back the investors who chose the "buyback" option offered to them when they invested, which enabled them to sell back their space after several years.
Glyn Taylor, solicitor for APJ, commented: "As always, these schemes were touted to regular savers as guaranteed high-return investment opportunities when in reality, they were very very risky, highly unstable and unsuitable for anyone who could not afford to lose the money – especially people that had secure pension pots.
"According to the FCA, the Park First scheme raised approximately £230m from an incredible 4,500 investors over the last few years. Investments in its airport car parking schemes were sold to hard-working pension holders via Sipps, and promoted using misleading or false statements that promised high returns.
"The FCA alleges that Park First and co had no proper basis for these statements and that they were aware that the valuations were based on unrealistic returns."
Scammers join the story
To add insult to injury, scammers posing as part of the administration team for Park First's connected companies were reportedly targeting investors, offering to buy back their parking spaces in an attempt to part them with even more money.
Park First is yet another company to come under fire for touting unregulated Sipp investment opportunities to unsuspecting British savers. Other such schemes over the years have included companies such as Ethical Forestry Ltd, ArgoEnergy and Store First, which dealt with sustainable tree plantations in Costa Rica, green oil schemes in Cambodia and storage pod schemes, respectively.
Car parking schemes
Sipp providers, unregulated introducers and sometimes the firms themselves targeted pension holders in an attempt to persuade them to invest large sums of their pension pots into these unregulated schemes. In reality, these investments were only really suitable for experienced investors who had money to lose. Most of them are now in liquidation and in some cases, are being investigated for fraud.
Glyn continued: "We are dealing with hundreds of claims where hard-working Brits have lost huge sums of money to these unscrupulous advisers and firms. We're now working with them to seek compensation so they can feel secure in their retirement.
"Mis-selling for pensions is the financial scandal of the decade, and we are urging people to get in touch if they think they may have been mis-sold an investment by a cold call, or a pushy salesperson who bamboozled them into parting with money with the promise of high returns.
"We advise any saver to take Sipp investment opportunities very seriously, and always do their due diligence when investing any money into schemes, especially if they are sitting on a relatively secure pension pot. Getting impartial advice and doing extensive research is always the best option. It is also worth highlighting that, as of January 2019, cold calling relating to pensions is illegal for UK-based firms."
APJ has helped pension holders claim back millions of pounds from Sipp providers who have mis-sold them unsuitable schemes or invested their money in fraudulent schemes. If you think you have been mis-sold a Sipp, get in touch with our experienced advisers who can help.

The hemp plant has been providing nutritional value to people for over a long period. The hemp seeds themselves have been another great source of nutritional requirements to the users. This plant is now being recognized as one of the major plants used in supplying nutrients to the body hence giving good health benefits. The reason why hemp plant and hemp seed are termed as vital nutritional diet and one can subsist on it is because the hemp seed itself has all the required and essential amino acids. As we all know that these essential amino acids are very significant in making the proteins in our body, so the hemp seeds are that important.
Naturally, it is very rare or nearly difficult to find a single plant with all the essential amino acids, but only hemp seed has proved to have them. Not only the essential amino acids does the hemp seed contain, but it also contains linoleic acid and linoleic acids which are very rare to be found on several plant seeds. The most important thing about these two acids that are linoleic and linoleic acids is that in hemp seeds they occur in the correct and required nutritional ratio. This makes the hemp seed a super nutrition for the human body health.
Over a long of a time, people have been consuming the hemp plant and the hemp seeds despite the connotation which has been there negative about the plant. Most people believe that hemp seed is from the cannabis family, so many of them tried to avoid it even the grocery people. This is no longer there because if you today you want a hemp seed for your nutritional requirements, you will easily get it from the local groceries. If you must feed on hemp foods, then there are also hemp seed cakes which are locally available and even found on the internet.
Hemp oils are also very much common and available to most of the local people as well as on the internet. In fact, there are those people who are very much dedicated to selling hemp-related foods such as hemp seed cakes, hemp oils as well as the hemp seeds themselves. The real hemp seed products are well known especially for their potency in providing the best nutritional value and consequently giving good health to the body. Feeding on hemp meals regularly will assure you not only the body health but also the weight gain among other healthy significant factors.
For those that are in search for an online source of quality web paws or other hemp products, you can find plenty of them at Healthy Hemp. If you are someone that wants to learn more about the relationship between hemp and wellness, then this post is a must read for you, https://www.huffingtonpost.com/linda-hardingbond/cannabis-wellness-the-spa_b_8099348.html.

Shame: (n.) a painful emotion caused by consciousness of guilt, shortcoming, or impropriety.
From the time I was 16 until I was almost 23, shame ruled my life. How could someone who was given so much in life feel so hopeless? How could someone who seemed to have it all together be struggling with addiction?
No one can know I'm struggling.
Is this pain ever going to end?
No one will care if I'm gone.
These were the thoughts that ran through my mind the week leading up to my suicide attempt. When I thought I had adequately pushed my friends away and convinced myself that they would be better off without me, I locked myself in my house and attempted to end the pain.
When I felt like I would soon be closing my eyes forever, I got a text from a close friend saying, "Open your front door." I had texted her one-word responses all night hoping she would leave me alone. My inebriated self couldn't fully grasp this text.
Why is she here? I can't open my front door; it'll be synonymous with opening the door to my secrets. If I open the door, my lies will come flooding out.
My friend texted me again. I began to panic but stumbled to the door and opened it.
Community: (n.) a unified body of individuals.
She said we needed to talk. I tried to build another wall as fast as I could and acted like everything was fine, but she already knew about my self-injury. Everything I had struggled with for the past seven years was on the table, and I felt exposed. She made me promise her I would start going to counseling.
That night I learned that your community doesn't leave you when you're hurting. When you hurt, they hurt with you. But your community doesn't only empathize with you; your community also supports you while you fight for freedom.
Recovery: (n.) the act or process of returning to a normal state after a period of difficulty; the return of something that has been lost or stolen.
For me, recovery started with talking to one friend. Then it involved seeing a counselor and a psychiatrist. Now I know recovery will be a lifelong adventure, and the more I learn about my ability to recover, the more I understand how important it is to be outspoken about the reality of mental illness. I am not alone in my fight, and it's important for others to know that as well.
Shame told me I could never change. Community proved my friends and family were there for me. Recovery taught me the importance of speaking out about mental illness.
I hope you know you are loved.
I hope you learn to let go of stigma.
I hope you let your community embrace you.
And I hope you learn to believe that recovery can be yours.

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme host by The Broke and the Bookish. This week's topic is Top Ten Books People Have Been Telling You That You MUST Read!!
Dangerous Girls by Abigail Haas -I think this is the number book I've heard people say YOU NEED TO READ that I haven't read. I hear it's twisty and shocking and OMG-worthy. There really is no reason for this book to be on my TBR still.
Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan – I am still making my way through the Percy Jackson series and I won't let myself start this series until I'm done no matter how much I want to skip right to this series. Almost everyone tells me this series is better and I am really like PJO so can only hope to love Heroes of Olympus.
Feed by Mira Grant – No one has specifically told me to read this book/series but I have seen people flailing about it on Twitter. I have also seen people demand everyone read this book. I have it on my shelf! I want to read it but it has yet to fit into my reading schedule.
The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins – I can barely tell people that I haven't read these books without getting yelled at and a hefty dose of stink eye to follow. But I think that's part of the reason I haven't read them, and it doesn't help that I had someone who told me just about EVERYTHING that happens. AND I've heard book Gale isn't as desirable as movie Gale… And I LOVE movie Gale. So I'm just not sure I'll ever get to these books, even though I own them.
The Harry Potter Series – It's pretty much the same thing going on with The Hunger Games except I did read book 1 & 2 waaaaaaaaay back when they first came out and I just didn't like them. Someone (hint: Katie) keeps telling me I need to read them cause I might feel differently now, and I will. It's just there's 7 thick books and I would have to devote a lot of time to that when my TBR pile of books I do want to read is looming over me.
Anything written by John Green – I have read The Fault in Our Stars and I did enjoy it. I started reading Looking For Alaska and I didn't so much enjoy it. But when I, or most bookish people I talk to, brings up John Green they're like "OMG READ ALL THE JG BOOK" and I don't deny that he's a great writer, but chill. I'm sure I'll get to then at my own pace.
The Selection Series by Kiera Cass – I have so many twitter friends that are falling all over themselves obsessed with this series, and I will read it. It's just one of those instances that I want to buy them all at once, and in hardcover, so I can just devour them right in a row. But I don't have a money tree. So. Yeah.
Oh yes, there are many books on this list that I completely agree that you should read. I loved Dangerous Girls and The Sky Is Everywhere. I also love the Harry Potter series. I hope you enjoy these books if you do get around to reading them.
Ha, I totally get where you're coming from with all the JG love (I've heard all about it but yet to have experience any of it myself). I haven't picked up Legend yet but I've also definitely heard wonderful things about the series. Hope you get a chance to read all of these eventually!

Most Fantasy Points Ever Ppr,Best Single-Game Fantasy Football Performances Of All Time,Best fantasy performance ever ppr|2020-12-09
Top 10 WR Performances Since 2000 – Fantasy Footballers …
Of all the wideouts to play in the NFL, it wasn't difficult to predict that if only one was going to make this list, it would be Jerry Rice.No defense whatsoever.Jackson was fewer than two points shy from producing the most fantasy points ever at the quarterback position.MDS's pick: Ravens 27, Cowboys 17.Smith caught 15 passes for 291 yards and 3 TDs! And yet it's even more impressive when you consider he was playing against the eventual Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens and their Ray Lewis-led defense.com, Gordon was ranked as a 3-star wide receiver, while Scout.He also rushed 60 times for 272 yards and two more scores.This Month in Sports ReferenceFind out when we add a feature or make a change.As a Cincinnati Bengal, Dillon had 276 all-purpose yards and 4 touchdowns against the Houston Oilers.Kick and punt returners are scored by yardage and touchdowns.5 ppr, 6pt QBTD last year or year before.Early 17th century from French système or late Latin systema, from Greek sustēma, from sun- 'with' + histanai 'set up'.
Fantasy Football's All-time 100 Best Performances
Still, when all was said and done, I highly doubt Faulk's owners were complaining very much.Smith's touchdown speaks for itself, as everyone's jaw simultaneously dropped when it happened.I scored 224 last week in PPR and that's starting Rams Def and Clevelands on my Bench.This year a guy got kicked out for good reasons and his team has Zeke,Hunt,Wentz,Hopkins,Hilton.Idk about most but my team scores record lows every week with my bench scoring record highs.He played 14 night games in his career, totaling 13 touchdowns.Tomlinson was like a video game cheat code, and likely led his fantasy owners to a championship.In football, he caught 20 passes for 363 yards and four touchdowns as a junior.Christian McCaffrey, Carolina Panthers (2019) – 471.Jeff Driskel tested positive for COVID-19 this week, while Drew Lock, Brett Rypien and Blake Bortles were all unavailable upon being considered high-risk close contacts.
Despite missing two games, I don't think fantasy owners were complaining about his 31.Do you have a sports website? Or write about sports? We have tools and resources that can help you use sports data.In 2003, Clinton Portis obliterated the Kansas City Chiefs defense for 254 yards and 5 touchdowns.But if the defense doesn't find a way to slow Derrick Henry, they'll be in trouble.The most recent performance on the list–Martin ran for 251 yards and 4 touchdowns.It depends.He was fewer than 10 fantasy points away from becoming the highest-scoring producer in fantasy football history, despite the fact that he scored 14 fewer touchdowns than Tomlinson.Early quarters (before 1828) were slightly larger in diameter and thinner than the current coin.It was also the greatest opening-week fantasy performance since 1960 … and that's among all positions.In rotisserie scoring, the real-life statistics accumulated by the players on a team are aggregated and ranked against the same statistics for the other teams in the league.
He was also 0-1 throwing the ball, just missing an extra touchdown that'd make give him the highest fantasy score ever.(According to ESPN's standard scoring.CSB I know but I dropped 290 in a full ppr w/ 2 flex spots this week.He averaged more than a rushing touchdown per game in 1975.WinDailySports' CEO Jason Mezrahi checks in with his top Week 13 DFS fantasy football for FanDuel and DraftKings.All in all, the man was responsible for 33 touchdowns in 2006.Carpenter, Seattle D/ST were his big scorers.Check out the Fantasy Football Scoring leaders! Search the full library of topics.Vick would finish the 2010 season as fantasy's leading scorer.However, it was surprising to see that his best season from a fantasy point of view came when he was 33 years old.In 15 games, the second-year quarterback out of Louisville threw for 3,127 yards and 36 passing touchdowns compared to just six interceptions, plus he ran for a whopping 1,206 rushing yards and an additional seven touchdowns.
Most Fantasy Points Scored That You've Ever Seen …
We will count down our list from 10th to 1st. 2006: Week 10 vs.Rice burned the Falcons D for 225 yards and 5 touchdowns.He is also second in team history in receiving yards as a rookie (918) behind Moss (1,313 yards).Ocho Cinco finished with 11 catches for 260 yards and 2 TDs and a happy day for fantasy owners.Every silver quarter minted from 1873 to 1964 has the same weight of 6.My favorite historical fantasy tidbit in researching was in 2004 when Priest Holmes AND Derrick Blaylock of the Chiefs registered 4 TDs a piece on the ground against the Falcons.As Congress and the Administration debated over silver's future role in coinage, the silver market jumped 10% immediately, and another 30% by 1962.He has Freeman, Newton, Charles, Green, Allen,etc.Visceral reflex arcs differ from somatic in that.	Fantasy Football: Targets, Touches & TDs: Week 6.At 5-foot-10, he was pegged by Rivals as a three-star prospect.
Best Single-game Fantasy Football Performances Since 2000
Indianapolis ColtsMarshall was a target monster catching 21 of 28 targets for 200 yards and 2 TDs from Kyle Orton.The inscription "A NATIONAL PARK FOR ART" is included.Plus, he completed 2-of-3 pass attempts, each conversion resulting in yet another touchdown.Tom Brady is so bad.Honorable Mentions: Marvin Jones' 4 TD game in 2013, Randy Moss' 4 TD game in 2007, Marcus Robinson's 4 TD game in 2003, Joe Horn's 4 TD game in 2003, Andre Johnson's 273 yards in 2012, Josh Gordon's 261 yards and 2 TDs in 2013, DeAndre Hopkins 238 yards/2 TDs in 2014, AJ Green's 227 yard game in 2015, and two of Antonio Brown's monster games in 2015.In his four Super Bowl games, he threw for a combined 1,142 yards with 11 touchdowns and no interceptions.What's even more amazing is that Brandon Marshall, a target hog in his own right who appears on this list later, was on the same team as Jeffrey.RB Chris Thompson, Washington Redskins (ACTIVE).However, it was surprising to see that his best season from a fantasy point of view came when he was 33 years old.

Dorothee Steffensky-Sölle (, 1929–2003), known as Dorothee Sölle, was a German liberation theologian who coined the term "Christofascism". She was born in Cologne and died at a conference in Göppingen from cardiac arrest.

Life and career
Sölle was born Dorothee Nipperdey on 30 September 1929 in Cologne, Germany. Her father was Professor of labour law Hans Carl Nipperdey, who would later become the first president of the West-German Federal Labour Court from 1954 to 1963. Sölle studied theology, philosophy, and literature at the University of Cologne, earning a doctorate with a thesis on the connections between theology and poetry. She taught briefly in Aachen before returning to Cologne as a university lecturer. She became active in politics, speaking out against the Vietnam War, the arms race of the Cold War, and injustices in the developing world. Notably, from 1968 to 1972 she organized the  (political night-prayers) in the Antoniterkirche (Cologne).

Between 1975 and 1987, she spent six months a year at Union Theological Seminary in New York City, where she was a professor of systematic theology. Although she never held a professorship in Germany, she received an honorary professorship from the University of Hamburg in 1994.

She wrote a large number of books, including Theology for Skeptics: Reflections on God (1968), The Silent Cry: Mysticism and Resistance (1997), and her autobiography Against the Wind: Memoir of a Radical Christian (1999). In Beyond Mere Obedience:  Reflections on a Christian Ethic for the Future she coined the term Christofascist to describe fundamentalists. Perhaps her best-known work in English was Suffering, which offers a critique of "Christian masochism" and "Christian sadism". Sölle's critique is against the assumption that God is all-powerful and the cause of suffering; humans thus suffer for some greater purpose. Instead, God suffers and is powerless alongside us.  Humans are to struggle together against oppression, sexism, antisemitism, and other forms of authoritarianism.

Sölle was married twice and had four children. First, in 1954 she married the artist Dietrich Sölle, with whom she had three children before divorcing in 1964. In 1969, she married the former Benedictine priest , with whom she had her fourth child and with whom she organized the . The historian Thomas Nipperdey was her brother.

Sölle died of a heart attack at a conference in Göppingen on 27 April 2003. She was buried on the Friedhof Nienstedten in Hamburg.

Sölle's theological thinking

"I believe in God/ who created the world not ready made/ like a thing that must forever stay what it is/ who does not govern according to eternal laws/ that have perpetual validity/ nor according to natural orders/ of poor and rich,/ experts and ignoramuses,/ people who dominate and people subjected./ I believe in God/ who desires the counter-argument of the living/ and the alteration of every condition/ through our work/ through our politics." (ET, from Meditationen & Gebrauchstexte. Gedichte. Berlin 1969, )

The idea of a God who was "in heaven in all its glory" while Auschwitz was organized was "unbearable" for Sölle. God has to be protected against such simplifications. For some people Sölle was a kind of prophet of Christianity, who abolished the separation of theological science and practice of life, while for others she was a heretic, whose theories couldn't be united with the traditional understanding of God, and her ideas were therefore rejected as a theological cynicism.

Some of Sölle's provocative statements:

The Opinio 360 table lamp makes no secret of its Space Age influences.
It was designed by Anna-Maija Salo for the Helsinki-based company back in 1960. The acrylic material – available in either clear or opal options – looks very sixties, as does the combination of lines and curves in the body of the lamp.
Looking every bit as striking today, the lamp costs 168 euros.
