Montclair will meet Arlington in next week's championship game.
The game-winning drive began with 1:30 left with the Cavaliers taking over on the Tigers' 48-yard-line after forcing a punt.
A huge pass-play and a 24-yard run by Tenajero brought the Cavaliers near the 10-yardline. However, on the next play Cavaliers quarterback Erick Harrison fumbled the snap and recovered it, but he suffered an injury on the play to his lower body area. With the clock running and no timeouts, Harrison hobbled to his feet and snapped the ball, handing it to Tenajero to run in for the go-ahead score.
Tenajero finished with 250 yards on 20 carries and two rushing touchdowns. Tenajero's counterpart, Tigers running back Jack Rifle finished with 134 rushing yards on 23 carries and one touchdown.
But aside from the late-game heroics, what stood out most were the 200 yards in combined penalties for both the Cavaliers and the Tigers.
The game's sloppy play reared its ugly head from the start. Tigers quarterback Noah Aragon threw an interception on the fourth play of the opening drive. After three plays on the ensuing drive, Tenajero punched in the game's first score on a 47-yard TD run to give the Cavaliers a 7-0 lead with 9:43 remaining in the first quarter.
Three penalties on the Tigers' second drive and 25 total yards of penalties in the first quarter stunted any offensive rhythm for South Pasadena.
Montclair took full advantage and scored on its second drive of the game. A 24-yard touchdown pass by Harrison found Cavaliers wide receiver Elijah Tehe in the corner of the end zone, capping off a nine-play drive — giving Montclair a 14-0 lead with under minute remaining in the first quarter.
After being held scoreless in the first quarter, the Tigers marched 80 yards on 12 plays and cut the Cavaliers' lead in half early in the second quarter. Rifle dominated the touches on the drive and capped it off with a one-yard touchdown run. Rifle finished the first half with 112 rushing yards on 17 carries.
Aragon tied the score, 14-14, scoring on a 19-yard run with 2:07 left in the half.
The tie didn't last long as the Cavaliers needed just three plays on the ensuing drive to take the lead once again.
Tenajero, on the first play, ripped off a 57-yard run that set-up senior running back Rene Bogarin for a 2-yard touchdown run and 21-14 Cavs lead.
Aragon's 84-yard touchdown pass tied the score, 21-21 in the second half and he finished with 165 yards passing with a rushing and passing TD.

Calvert was one of the finest officers to serve with the Chindits. He always led from the front and his bravery in combat earned him the nickname 'Mad Mike'. The capture of Mogaung was one of his greatest achievements, but the bitter struggle there cost his 77th Brigade half its strength either killed or wounded during the four-week battle.

This week, police in Winslow and Gloucester townships were honored for their work and proved why they deserved it.
Gloucester Township honored police and citizens who made "extraordinary contributions to the safety and well-being of the community." Mayor David Mayer closed the ceremony by saying how "no one else is doing" what the township is doing in terms of community policing.
You've probably seen the 'U Drive. U Text. U Pay.' signs around town. From April 1 to April 21, Winslow Township Police Department will be out in force looking for distracted drivers as part of the U Drive, U Text, U Pay Campaign, a high-visibility effort to enforce distracted-driving laws.
The Gloucester Township police didn't take the day after their ceremony to celebrate. A one month investigation resulted in the arrest of 33 year old Robert W. Bruce and 65 year old Ronald Stenderowicz of Gloucester Township. The Gloucester Township Police Department received numerous quality of life and citizen complaints at 2061 Erial Clementon Road.
The candidates for the upcoming mayoral and election council have been announced. Primaries will take place in June.

Project-Based Learning (PBL)
Kids Feel the Power of Poetry in Performance
Through slam poetry, students reach new heights in literacy and in life.
By Grace Rubenstein
Kids -- 12 and 13 years old -- pour their guts onto paper in verse. They spend weeks furiously writing, revising, and coaching each other, and revising again. When they are done, they stand alone in front of their peers and recite poetry, using voice and gesture to bring their words to life.
This may sound like an English teacher's pipe dream, but it is becoming a common experience in classrooms across the country. In lower-income neighborhoods in cities like New York and Chicago, students are competing with words and then settling in for discussions of metaphor, assonance, consonance, and allusion.
Slam poetry, a blend of literature and performance that culminates in live competitions called slams, is transforming these students from reluctant, shy, or diffident learners into passionate artists. It is helping teachers not just teach writing but also build confidence. And, with the help of videoconferencing, it is connecting students across the country, inspiring them to compete at a high level and envision a future beyond school.
A major force behind this evolving movement is Global Writes, a nonprofit organization in the Bronx that works with local arts organizations to place professional poets in schools to coteach weekly with classroom instructors. During two 16-week sessions -- almost a complete school year -- students in grades 4-12 learn to write and deliver spoken-word poetry, preparing for slams with their peers. Their preparation includes practice sessions followed by critiques, which lead to spirited conversations about literary devices and creative expression. (Download a PDF of a scoring rubric.)
For students, Global Writes offers a chance to focus on feelings and hone identities and an opportunity to learn how to express themselves more powerfully. For teachers, that is just a starting point, a way to create enthusiasm that may secure the students' future relationship with school.
Visceral Verse
Robert Hannibal, principal of New York City's JHS 145 Arturo Toscanini, grew up near the school and says that in a neighborhood plagued by poverty, drugs, and violence, it's all the more important for school to be a nurturing place where kids have an outlet for their feelings. Everything -- everything -- comes out in their poetry.
Model Poet:
Emile Keller, a junior, says successful slam poets perform with so much conviction that they help the audience picture the scenes and characters in their poems.

Beginning poets typically start with simple ideas, often adopting hip-hop-esque self-aggrandizement as a theme. Last winter, for instance, one seventh-grade poet recited,
I am me.
The person who I am is the person that you see.
You can't control me and what I do, honey child, baby boo.
I have my own ways, and my own style.
I'm living the free life and I'm proud.
As their writing develops, they often begin to spill their deepest feelings onto the page, using the words and performance for what one educator calls therapy. For example, an eighth grader named Maria wrote,
My mother left me when I was like six months old.
Now I'm 13 and she's probably all gray and old,
but it doesn't matter 'cause I live with a man who loves me.
He's been there through rough and tough days since I was a youngie.
I always think, what if she was with me?
Would she care for me or would she leave me?
Eventually, some students delve into what educators consider the most advanced topics: writing about world events or assuming another person's perspective. High school junior Miosoty wrote,
I'm spitting words like an airbrush painting an image on a light-skinned boy because his mommy was willing to pay the 15 bucks for it.
I'm sending words from my mind to the paper like a fax machine, sending business news electronically 'cause the woman who sent it is too tired from walking in her heels all day to send it herself, just two blocks down.
I'm burning brain meat like a car engine going downtown because the guy inside is too antisocial for public transportation.
Urgent Broadcast:
In a poem about domestic strife, sophomore Denise Cotto wrote, "I'm trying to say this poem because it's the only way I get to pretend you listen."
The intensity and vulnerability in the students' verse is all the more potent in a place like school, where regimentation is usually the rule. The kids perform in settings where everything else feels hard -- aging school buildings with linoleum floors, cement-block walls, glaring lights in the halls.
Yet in spite of this environment and the typical lockstep rhythm of school, teachers in the Global Writes program refer to kids not as students but as poets. Kids are valued both as writers and peer coaches, and they assume a sense of pride and capability that they carry into other realms.
"To see classmates who would usually be throwing paper and screaming and hollering now sitting down in their seats and paying attention to one of their peers, and then to perform at other places and see people crying, is amazing," says Jesica Blandon, a graduate of JHS 145 who now participates in Global Writes as a sophomore at DreamYard Preparatory School, a Bronx charter school, and performs at independent slams across New York City. "That's when I really realized that my words were powerful."
That kind of pride makes this one area of school in which students truly celebrate rigor. They listen to their peers' critiques -- "Make the ending stronger" or "Make your pauses shorter" or "If you mess up, just keep going" -- without taking offense. Teachers and principals brim with anecdotes about students' personal growth, such as the shy kid who hated writing but became a dynamic poet or the stutterer who performed his poems with perfect fluency.
"Poetry is essentially about precise word choice," says Craig Moss, an English teacher at JHS 145 who hasn't missed a day of Global Writes in five years. "So, using the literary devices that they know, kids sculpt and mold these works of art. Even though to them it may all boil down to just the competition and the video camera, the work that goes into the weeks before the slam is all about school."
Poetry's Long Reach
Naturally, some students take to slamming more eagerly than others. But as Bronx PS 315 Lab School principal Elsie Cardona-Bernardinelli says, "Even the most resistant of writers wants to put something on paper about themselves. It may not be the most poetic work, but it has gotten them to pick up a pen and write. That alone is movement."
In fact, surveys, classroom observations, and interviews with students and teachers show a relationship between the poetry program and improvements in student attendance, language arts test scores, motivation, attitudes toward literacy, social skills, self-confidence, and (for English-language learners) language acquisition.
Global Writes is now two years into a three-year study (conducted by an outside research group and funded by the U.S. Department of Education) of the outcomes for 453 participating middle school students in the Bronx and Chicago. And the program has had benefits for teachers as well. Educators report that Global Writes has increased their own confidence in teaching poetry and integrating technology, and it has helped develop their collaborative-teaching skills.

Running Time: 2:42 min.
The growth of young poet Jesica Blandon embodies much of what Global Writes aims to achieve. Beyond her success in poetry, she says slamming has made her more confident, understanding of others, and aware of the world. She also maintains that it has improved her grades in, of all things, math.
"The whole idea of wanting to do better in my poetry made me want to do better in everything else," Blandon adds. "My love for poetry definitely did not make me love math, but it made me love the idea of being better, of succeeding in other parts of my life."
Growth and Survival
The success of Blandon and others like her is more than cofounders John Ellrodt and Maria Fico envisioned when, in 1998, they conceived of Bronx Writes -- the program that morphed into Global Writes -- which has not changed significantly since its inception. The technology specialists and former teachers won a grant for videoconferencing equipment, and Ellrodt, who had taught English and enjoyed teaching poetry, suggested using the gear for that purpose.
Global Writes cofounder John Ellrodt knew the program needed to expand when he saw that the impact "was almost immediate."
Their program started with four schools in the Bronx, each doing single eight-week sessions. It has since grown into a year-round program involving 26 schools in the Bronx and four in Queens, as well as schools in Yonkers, New York; Newark, New Jersey; and Chicago. The group partners with community arts organizations -- New York City's DreamYard Project, and Young Chicago Authors -- to engage local poets. And the founders are working with educators to launch the program in San Antonio this fall.
Global Writes typically finds start-up grants to cover the equipment costs of $15,000 per school. The schools themselves pay the $5,000-$7,500 annual fee for each teaching artist -- a cost many principals say they will continue covering, by hook or by crook, even in a budget crisis. Ellrodt and Fico also run a for-profit education-technology consulting business, along with Global Writes, because the program alone doesn't pay all the bills.
Even now, more than ten years in, challenges persist for Ellrodt and Fico. For instance, they still can't videoconference through the New York City Department of Education's network because of district restrictions, so they use the free cable hookups built into schools and bring their own modems. As Fico says, "We're not waiting."
Taylor Rocheford, a seventh-grade English teacher at the Bronx Lab School, gets teary eyed when she talks about her students' achievements in poetry. She has seen their writing improve on assignments far removed from poetry, including the state language arts exam, and the Global Writes program has inspired Rocheford to write her own poems; she performs for her students (at no other time are they more silent and attentive) and takes to heart their critiques when revising her work.
"It's so important for kids to be proud of themselves, because they're constantly hearing about what they're not doing right and how they need to improve," she says. "It's such a neat experience to see them smile about something they did all on their own. And that's what I say to them: 'You did that. Yeah, I may have guided you, but you stood up there and memorized that poem and performed it. You did that. That was you.'"

Strong Words:
Sophomore Jesica Blandon excels at the art of the poetry slam, a live competition in which contestants perform their verse before a panel of judges.
Bleeding Da Vinci
By Jesica Blandon
When your skin smells of a renaissance does
That mean change resides in your soul?
Whispers in a cadence familiar to my ears to keep her child
sleeping. Dreams of a revolution.
She tells the world that I'm never home
Because I've been making my bed in workshops with children
my own age
who write letters of homage to the sun and for the stars.
I bleed ink dreams for them.
Lead promises
Across a milky way of sparkling possibilities
And a thousand sonnets.
My limbs set ablaze a pen and pale pages holding a Mardi Gras
behind my rib cage
after the levees have been broken.
This is how I write (when no one's looking).
They said that I could never find salvation behind a
microphone,
Never alter dreams with ink,
Or save lives with stanzas
Mama your hums are hymns to my prophecy.
And it's true I'm never home but
Between the 5 children I know who hold their tears back
in fear of dehydration
and the tiny shoes that hang from the phone line
in remembrance of those we lost to stray bullets --
I can't find a reason to stay home.
I can't find a reason to keep the word locked up behind lips
that choose to stay home.
But don't get it twisted Mama,
I'm still yours forever.
A soul tied to your navel.
And the distance between you and I
can be measured by umbilical cords: Hee, hee. Whoo, Whoo
Your song beckoned me into this world.
A metaphor wrapped up in tan skin.
The ink salute of a million burdens.
Me the girl who tried to fly
but never took the time to grow wings.
A poet who slams her soul
and loans her finger nails
to those who need to scrape themselves up
from the bottom of their own self-pity.
You know once a girl asked me what my greatest fear was.
And with shivers down my spine
I told her that it was in the silence
that I found my heart jumping.
A million broken breaths
And heaving lungs.
My tonsils swollen.
See this is how the words of a revolution
corrupt your insides when not spoken.
I say,
Call Che Guevara, Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X
and Nelson Mandela.
Tell them your daughter has committed her lungs to the
movement.
Surrendered her ears to the word
and is willing to die for her art.
My heart is beating to the rhythm of broken ignorance,
And Leonardo has painted Mona Lisa on my spine.
Mama my skin is a renaissance
waiting to happen beneath the eyelids of many.
My words a symbol of the resistance.
My tongue a poet in itself.
Does this make me a revolutionary?
Does the fact that I spit to leave souls drained and
Bite my tongue for no one mean
I'm a revolutionary?
Does the fact that
Score cards haven't altered my message
make me a revolutionary?
Because if so,
Mama,
If so then
Your change


I find myself in a bit of a dilemma: I have a number of story ideas circulating in my mind as I'm writing my newest novel.
For some reason, lately, new story scenarios keep coming to mind, either through things I read, a show I might watch or even in my dreams. Though things are coming along nicely for "Camping in High Heels: Yellowstone", there are scenes that keep popping up for other stories that I want to write eventually.
At first this was driving me a little batty but now I have a file where I write or dictate the scene then put it out of my head. Now I know when I'm ready to write that particular book, I already have a head start on scenes and an outline to begin the book.
But I'm also finding this phenomena taking place in other areas of my life. If I'm cooking, I seem to think of five other things that need my attention at that very moment. Or I'll be relaxing at the beach and suddenly remember about something I should have done at home before I left. When I've talked to my family about this, the word "stress" keeps getting repeated over and over.
Personally I don't think it is stress but that I have a lot going on along with a lot of ideas. Though I do keep a notebook with me and use Google calendar on my iPad and iPhone, I've decided to try a Bullet Journal. I'm very new to this type of planner organization and we will see how it goes. If it works for me, I'll blog about it or maybe even shoot a video (something on my list to learn!).
Have you ever used a Bullet Journal? If so, did it work or not work for you? I would love to hear your results.
How Do You Keep Track Of Your Day?

Privacy Policies: Fact, Fantasy or Fallacy
11/Aug/2018 by Sharon
Food photos. Baby pictures. Details of pregnancies, ailments, treatments, and triumphs. These are just a few of the data points that millions of people have shared online. Employees, executives, and their families have 'friends' around the world whom they've never met, and with whom they blithely share the minutiae of their lives. From a corporate security standpoint, though, the ease of digital communications and the friendly nature of social media often translates into corporate secrets and personal information being divulged by well-intentioned board members, management and staff.
The detailed information that people reveal online is a predictable outcome of decades of being nudged into believing that nobody cares about privacy.
In the years since the Internet came into existence, organizations have waged a sustained messaging campaign reminding us that it is somehow good and proper to give up privacy. For convenience. For public safety. For the sake of our children.
While all of that was going on, privacy practitioners struggled to ensure that personal information was properly safeguarded, and security practitioners were busy assuring businesses that data was protected by software and hardware security measures.
In 1986, Sun Microsystems—a company that sold hardware, software, and was founded to sell low-cost high-performance desktop computers running the UNIX operating system—made its largest single sale of computers to a government agency when the National Security Agency signed an agreement for $500 million worth of Sun equipment. Within six years of starting up, Sun's annual sales exceeded $1 billion.
Sun was surely a heavy-hitter in a new and influential technology industry. It was also a member of the Online Privacy Alliance, a diverse group of more than 30 global corporations that came together to "introduce and promote business-wide actions that create an environment of trust and foster the protection of individuals' privacy online."
In 1999, Scott McNealy—then Sun's Chief Executive Officer—famously said, "You have zero privacy anyway. Get over it."
At the time of McNealy's declaration, the director of the Bureau of Consumer Protection at the Federal Trade Commission acknowledged that privacy is a "grave concern" to millions of American consumers. It was also when Sun's privacy policy assured that the company was "committed to respecting your privacy and recognize your need for appropriate protection and management of personally identifiable information."
Sun was not alone in offering assurances. Many Online Privacy Alliance members and other companies posted (and continue to post) privacy policies that promise to respect privacy. With that assurance, and with no way to use many platforms without accepting the terms of service in an all-or-nothing Faustian bargain, we click 'Accept' every time we log onto a new platform.
Despite the concerns expressed by consumers and companies alike, we have been shamed into posting and sharing intimate details of family events, personal and professional achievements, opinions and interests. We are encouraged to spit into a vial and pay for the privilege to have private companies analyze our genetic make-up, and tell us what we already know. And while we are assured that these organizations respect our privacy, we are seldom cautioned that many of these same service companies have little compunction about sharing results with third parties who might be anywhere in the world.
Anyone bold enough to question the groupthink pressure is treated with disdain, as if their wish to preserve some shred of personal privacy is somehow an affront or threat to everybody else. That makes objectors—the only ones who care about their privacy—different. And in being seen as different, they become a pariah and are pushed to the periphery.
Privacy advocates who recognize the risks to personal information and sound the alarm bells are often dismissed or disbelieved. Like the Greek princess Cassandra, daughter of the King of Troy, privacy professionals have insight and perspective akin to the gift of prophecy, and share Cassandra's curse when others disregard their warnings.
When those who understand the risks are shunned, sidelined and silenced, it increases the predictable outcome of political and individual ignorance—even as corporations and governments amass detailed databases about each of us.
As one of the world's wealthiest and most powerful companies, Google has amassed data about billions of people across the globe. The company offers a 2638-word long 'privacy policy' with links to the specific privacy practices of 8 other Google products and services "certain Google products and services that you may use":
Google Chrome Privacy Notice — 4210 words
Google Play Books — 585 words
Google Payments Privacy Notice — 1374 words
Google Fiber Privacy Notice — 1121 words
Project Fi Privacy Notice — 1385 words
Google for Education — 1341 words
YouTube Kids Privacy Notice — 1442 words
Privacy Notice for Google Accounts Managed with Family Link ("Privacy Notice") — 1638 words and its associated Family Link Disclosure for Parents — 2604 words
There's more. "By virtue of certain of the Services connecting to the Google Maps API, you hereby agree to be bound by the Google Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms of Service (including the Google Privacy Policy) in connection with your use of such Services".
In all, the Google privacy policy is 18,338 words. Calculating that a single-spaced page of type using 12-point Arial font contains an average of 470 words, Google's privacy policies are 39 pages long.
Google is not unique. Many organizations, including some whose business is directed at young people, have similarly lengthy terms and policies.
Strava is a San Francisco-based mobile app that is billed as suitable for 13-year olds. In anticipation of GDPR coming into force in Europe, Strava "improved" its 3927 word-long Privacy Policy and its 779 word-long Terms of Service to make them "even more understandable and transparent". The first sentence of the privacy policy — which exhorts readers to read the company's terms of service — is clear that "Your privacy is very important to us." To read the 7799-word-long terms of service, one must first log on (which, of course, requires having created an account and divulging personal information in the process); and logging on is construed as agreement to the terms and privacy policy.
So, can a 13 year old really understand and exercise appropriate choice? Will they—or their parents— take the time to slog through the fine print? Or will they simply acquiesce with the resignation of knowing that they have no bargaining power, and resisting invites FOMO: the fear of missing out on whatever everyone else is enjoying.
Unless human nature changes, it's easy to anticipate that most people will feed their desire for acceptance, and be driven by a fear of retribution, by simply clicking I Accept and living with the consequences — that will create even more challenges for privacy and access professionals.

Watching the unsuccessful implode: a new mockumentary web series
Posted on January 6, 2017 by Liz Nicholls

By Liz Nicholls, 12thnight.ca
You've met them before — at work, at play, at high school reunions, at your cousin's wedding. Hell, you're related to some of them.
They are the unsuccessful. They are the brigade of individuals, in every size, shape and walk of life, whose narrative arcs have taken a swan dive. They've been brought to the brink of disaster, implosion, and personal doom by rarefied chemistries of personality, terrible luck, and time. And they are the stars of a new web series devoted, episode by episode, to the aristocracy of unsuccessfulness.
Tales of the Highly Unsuccessful is the brainchild of the father-son team of Glenn Nelson and Chris Nelson, who created it with the versatile producer/writer/filmmaker Andrew Paul. Their concept, a downward spiral of diminishing achievement which has a black comedy all its own, has attracted the attention of A-team Edmonton actors — of which Glenn Nelson can claim distinguished membership status.
And it's intrigued such artists as Andrew MacDonald-Smith and Julien Arnold not least because scene by scene, each half-hour episode evolves from onscreen improv. Real-life spontaneity at its most nerve-wracking, within a framework whose starting and end points are scripted. "Each scene drives the narrative along," as Paul explains. "The actors know where they have to get…. How they do that is up to them."
Paul, who joined the Tales of the Highly Unsuccessful writing team in 2014 (headquarters: Glenn Nelson's garage) and assembled the production crew, says that the idea is "fully developed characters, with a very loose storyline." It's an m.o. inspired by the Christopher Guest school of mockumentary filmmaking, in such comic gems as Waiting For Huffman and Best in Show.
"The format of each episode is to find people at the end of their rope; we enter the storyline nearly at the end."
The first episode is devoted to the rapidly waning fortunes of Roger. Glenn Nelson stars as veteran radio DJ "Roger Dodger," whose entire industry seems to be passing him by, and enraging him big time in the process.
Nearing his 6,000th episode, the 35-year host of The Happy Time Show "feels strongly that the universe is conspiring against him, and has been for a while," as Paul puts it rather delicately. "He's having trouble coping with that." Ah, and with his perky co-host Benny (MacDonald-Smith).

Which is why Roger has dug up Inner Optics, the self-help VHS tapes he used in the '80s to quit drinking. He can only find the third of the three.
In the course of episode 1, set during "the final three days before Roger's tailspin," you'll meet half a dozen characters, including Benny, Bernard Crate (Richard Gishler) and Betty Hammerstein, "a non-botanist who talks to plants," as Paul explains.

"We created 'found' radio clips from old Happy Time shows," says Paul, "along with archival photos of Roger…." Chris Nelson has even created the entire Inner Optics self-help system that Rogher is counting on.
"The number one goal," as Paul says, "is to create a full fleshed-out universe for Roger."
The first episode was shot in four days last summer and fall at CKUA, Holy Trinity Anglican Church, the Edmonton Community Foundation offices, and Andrew's sister's apartment kitchen. The total budget? "Less than a grand," says Paul.
Three other episodes are written and ready to go, including a spring shoot for the episode that stars Terry, a failing gamer. Meanwhile, as Paul explains, "we're submitting to festivals … and pursuing funding to make (the series) sustainable."
Meanwhile, have a peek at Nelson with his dander up as Roger: In the clip you can see on the Tales of the Highly Unsuccessful website, Roger is having a major street tantrum; he's walking to work since he got kicked out of a cab.

Sai Tia Kaphut (ursprünglich Prinz Wong Buri (oder Wangsapuri), voller Thronname Somdet Brhat-Anya Chao Sanaka Chakrapati Raja Phen-Phaeo Bhaya Jayadiya Kabuddha; * 1415 in Sawa; † 1481 in Mueang Chiang Khaen) war zwischen 1441 und 1479 König von Lan Chang.

Zunächst als jüngster Sohn von König Samsaenthai (reg. 1372–1417) und Königin Nang Keofa Yudhi (Keo Yot Fa), einer Tochter von König Intharacha von Ayutthaya, geboren, wurde er im Palast erzogen und erhielt später den Titel eines Prinzen Wong Buri. Man ernannte ihn zum Gouverneur von Vieng Chan, wobei er den Titel Brhat-Anya Kunaprasakti (Khun Pasak) erhielt.

1438 wurde er als Thronfolger für den König Kham Koert berufen, doch lehnte er ab, da seine Tante Nang Keo Phim Fa als graue Eminenz im Hintergrund den eigentlichen Machtfaktor bildete. Nachdem diese sich selbst für kurze Zeit des Throns bemächtigte, beschloss der Thronrat, Keo Phim Fa zu beseitigen und eine Gruppe weiser Männer die Führung von Lan Chang zu überlassen. Der Thronrat konnte den Prinzen Wong Buri 1441 schließlich dazu überreden, den Thron zu besteigen. Jedoch weigerte sich der König bis 1456, die Krönungszeremonie durchzuführen. Erst seinerzeit erhielt er seinen Thronnamen Sai Tia Kaphut.

Das vietnamesische Reich Annam expandierte gegen Ende des 15. Jahrhunderts in verschiedene Richtungen, unter anderem auch in Richtung Lan Chang. 1478 forderten die Vietnamesen einen kürzlich aufgefundenen weißen Elefanten, der traditionsgemäß dem König von Lan Chang zugeführt werden musste. Sai Tia Kaphut sandte darauf eine goldene Schüssel mit Elefantendung nach Annam, was die Vietnamesen als Kriegserklärung auffassten und mit einer großen Armee angriffen. Die Armee von Lan Chang unter dem Kronprinzen Kone Keo wurde auf der Ebene der Tonkrüge vollständig geschlagen, der Kronprinz geriet in Gefangenschaft. Bei einem Fluchtversuch ertrank er. Währenddessen floh Sai Tia Kaputh aus Sawa nach Vieng Chan und dankte später zugunsten seines ältesten verbliebenen Sohnes, Suvanna Ban Lang, ab.

Sai Tia Kaphut starb 1481 in Mueang Chieng Kaen. Er hatte neun Söhne und sieben Töchter:
 Prinz (Thao) Kuni Kaeva [Kone Keo], als Kronprinz eingesetzt mit dem Titel Uparat, einige Zeit Gouverneur von Vieng Chang (Vientiane), 1477 zum Premierminister ernannt unter dem Titel Senapati Luang Xieng Lo [Sen-Luang-Xieng-Lo], 1477; starb 1478

 Prinz (Thao) Kumara Nahawangsa [Khuan-Nha-Ong]

WT World Kyorugi Rankings: March 2019 – Top 10 by weight category. Take a look at the current status of the World Taekwondo Kyorugi Rankings. The points awarded to each athlete are defined by their results in the official events of the WT calendar held until the end of February 2019.


Honored to be a guest artist for the month of August 2018.
So I landed as a guest artist of the month! Yaasss!
Last year, The Alliance Art Gallery offered me a guest artist spot for this year (2018) and of course I graciously accepted the offer!!!!! 😀 Hannibal newspaper wrote a nice piece about my artisan jewelry too.
The opening reception to be held on Saturday, August 11, 2018 from 5 – 8 PM CST. I was scheduled to say a few words before the art giveaway. I hope to see you there!
A few of Popnicute Jewelry's statement pieces to be displayed at the gallery.
My body of work is heavily inspired by nature and textiles. Despite choosing to be a teenage tomboy to disrupt the sexist culture I grew up in, I've been fond of ruffles ever since I could remember. My mom taught me to sew and hand embroider. These skills definitely influence my creative vision and are apparent within the ruffles and stitching elements in my work.
My whimsical nature seeps through the design of my jewelry: from the playful look of my birds to ruffles and fluid, swirly lines. I love layering and texturing the metal to add depth and intrigue. With a passion to travel the world, my jewelry appeals to the wanderlust and creative soul within each of us.
I still remember those teenage tomboy years quite vividly. I refused to wear any skirt (aside from school uniforms), I had my hair cut really short so I looked like a boy. Seeing how boys had more fun and less restrictions, naturally, I wanted to be one of them.
Though I grinned ear to ear to his "compliment", by that time my baby piercings were already closed so I had to go to the mall and had them re-pierced with a piercing gun. Although, remember that I just told you that my school uniform was a skirt? The BS I had to put up with as a teen! (LOL).
On my off days I could be found wearing baggy t-shirt and plaid over shirt over the faded blue jeans! Viva the 90's grunge style! Hahaha.
My display at the Alliance Art Gallery. I'm digging the cork background in this display shelf!


The unthinkable happened five years ago. Now two writers have set out to find what's left of America. New York, Washington DC, San Antonio, & parts of the Central & Western states are gone. Famine, epidemics, border wars & radiation diseases have devastated the countryside in between. It was a 'limited' nuclear war, just a 36-minute exchange of missiles that abruptly ended when the superpowers' communication systems broke down. But Warday destroyed much of civilization. Whitley Strieber & James Kunetka, old friends, take a dangerous odyssey across the former USA, sometimes hopeful that a new, peaceful world can be built over the old, sometimes despairing over the immense losses & embittered people they meet. In an eerie blend of fact & imagination, Strieber (author of The Wolfen & The Hunger) & Kunetka (author of City of Fire: Los Alamos & The Atomic Age, 1943-1945 & Oppenheimer: The Years of Risk) cut thru the doublespeak of military bureaucracy & the rhetoric of the 1980's peace movement to portray America after Warday.

Indie Game Highlights from the Wholesome Direct
By George Yang May 26, 2020
Wholesome Games premiered a Nintendo Direct-styled video showcase today called Wholesome Direct, complete with exclusive footage, developer interviews, and announcements. This showcase presented over 50 indie games, and here are some that stood out.
Spiritfarer from Thunder Lotus received some brand new gameplay footage, and while a game about death might seem out of place in this kind of themed presentation, the game tackles the subject matter in a heartfelt way. The game follows Stella and her cat Daffodil as they guide the deceased into the afterlife. Spiritfarer arrives later this year.
A studio called Sunny Side Up, based in South Korea, is releasing Little Witch in the Woods. The player takes control of Ellie, who is a witch's apprentice. Over the next three years, Ellie will have to do various tasks around the town, such as help locals, study creatures, and mix magical potions. The gameplay footage shows Ellie fishing as well as running away from big creatures, plus a sneak peek at her book that catalogs them. Little Witch in the Woods releases in 2021.
A Space for The Unbound is from Mojiken Studio, an Indonesian developer. The game takes place in 1990s Indonesia in a small town and follows two high school sweethearts. When supernatural forces are bringing about the end of the world, they will need to dive into other people's minds to discover what secrets lie hidden. A Space for The Unbound arrives in 2021.
Inasa Fujio is a 3rd-year illustration student working on Rainy Season. The game is about a family whose plans to go to an amusement park are canceled due to rainy weather. The main protagonist is a small boy who comes across a mysterious monster that is nonchalantly watching TV in a room. The monster is surprisingly non-threatening and just seems to be in the wrong house. The game will release in Q2 2020.
The showcase closed out with Hoa by Skrollcat Studio. The game is a side-scrolling adventure game inspired by the Studio Ghibli art style. The art style is assuredly a standout here, and studio co-founder Le Son Tra confirmed that the game is in active development for PC and Nintendo Switch.

"Over the Christmas break many of us have had the opportunity to spend more time with family and be reminded of the importance of those connections. This death is therefore all the more devastating.
"The death of anyone comes as a great blow to a family but the age of young Archie Tafts and the suddenness of his passing makes it particularly traumatic.
"I was deeply shocked to learn of the untimely death of this young child. It is a tragic accident which will strike terror into the heart of any parent or grandparent.


Matthew Stafford had a phenomenal night on the football field on Monday.
He completed 22 of 25 passes, throwing three touchdowns, and leading the Lions to a 35-27 win over the Saints.
After the game, he stayed in a good groove, visiting with ESPN's SportsCenter crew. Stafford accepted a challenge from anchor Steve Levy to dance like analyst and former Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis.
Stafford's impression of Lewis was flawless.

Gary Barlow Angry Over Kye Sones Exit
Judge upset as his contender loses in sing-off against Rylan Clark...
Monday, November 5, 2012 - 09:15
Gary Barlowwas left fuming again last night after he lost his third act, Kye Sones, from this year's series of The X Factor.
The Take That star was visibly upset when Kye lost out in the sing-off against controversial Rylan Clark, with the vote again going to deadlock.
Commenting on the result on the show, he said: "I always predicted this – when you have an act like Rylan in the competition, good singers go home every week."
And when asked by Dermot O'Leary if he was unhappy, he replied: "Yes, I'm upset."
Meanwhile, one of the show's frontrunners Jahmene Douglas has been left red-faced after a video he posted on You Tube last year, in which he criticises the show, came to light.
Metro quotes him as saying: "X Factor's not about singing so much; you've seen what people get through to the live shows.
"Compare it to American Idol... they sing.
"It's hard in a country that favours indie music, but this year I'll try harder, see where I end up."
Jahmene is currently on odds of 6/4 to win the contest with bookies William Hill, while Ella Henderson is on 11/8 and James Arthur 4/1.
And there was at least a bit of good news for Lucy Spraggan after she was forced to pull out of the contest due to ill health.
The Sun claims that the singer-songwriter will be invited back to perform at the live final along with the rest of the finalists.

Католи́ческий диале́кт (каменцкий диалект, , ) — один из диалектов лужицких языков, распространённый к западу и к северу от города Будишина до города Каменц в районе Баутцен (федеральная земля Саксония). Входит в верхнелужицкую группу диалектов. Территория распространения данного диалекта находится в западной части верхнелужицкого диалектного ареала, католический вместе с куловским диалектом имеют ряд общих изоглосс, сближающих их и обособляющих от других верхнелужицких диалектов. Верующие носители католического диалекта — католики в отличие от остального протестантского населения Верхней Лужицы.

Ареал
Ареал католического диалекта включает территорию в центральной части района Баутцен в Саксонии, в которой расположены такие города и сёла, как Каменц, Кросчицы (Кроствиц) (, ), Небельшюц (, ), Ральбиц (, ), Радвор (Радибор) (, ) и другие. С севера к территории распространения католического диалекта примыкает территория куловского, с северо-востока — голанского, с востока и юга — будишинского диалектов. Области к западу от католического диалекта являются территориями распространения немецкого языка.

Католический вариант верхнелужицкого языка
На католическом диалекте в период с XVIII по XIX вв. на территории к северо-западу от Будишина развивался католический вариант верхнелужицкого литературного языка, один из двух конфессиональных вариантов наряду с евангелическим (протестантским), использовавшийся в Верхней Лужице до создания единой верхнелужицкой литературной нормы. Первоначально католический вариант верхнелужицкого языка развивался на базе куловского диалекта.
Но во второй половине XVIII века Я. Ю. П. Ханчка, М. Я. Валда и другие авторы, писавшие на католическом верхнелужицком языке выбрали его основой говоры в районе селения Кросчицы, являющиеся частью католического диалекта. Кросчанские говоры меньше отличались от евангелического верхнелужицкого языка (основанного на будишинском диалекте), чем куловский диалект, что способствовало сближению двух литературных верхнелужицких норм и созданию в дальнейшем единого литературного языка. Литературный вариант на католическом диалекте был кодифицирован Ф. Шнайдером в его работе «Grammatik der wendischen Sprache katholischen Dialekts» 1853 года.

Различия между двумя конфессиональными вариантами верхнелужицкого языка были сравнительно небольшими, прежде всего они относились к графике и правописанию (католический вариант был ориентирован на чешское правописание, а евангелический — на немецкое), в меньшей степени различия затрагивали грамматику и лексику. Две литературные нормы стали сближаться уже в XVIII веке, а во второй половине XIX века оба варианта окончательно сблизились, за основу общего литературного верхнелужицкого языка был принят, обладающий бо́льшим престижем, стабильной нормой и бо́льшей степенью распространения евангелический вариант.

Западные верхнелужицкие диалекты
Католический диалект вместе с куловским, размещённые в западном ареале верхнелужицкой группы диалектов, имеют ряд общих изоглосс, развившихся в период после завершения Реформации. Сблизившись друг с другом, эти диалекты вместе с тем отдалились от южной части переходных (воеровского диалекта) и остальных верхнелужицких диалектов. В частности западноверхнелужицкий ареал распространения отглагольных существительных в именительном падеже единственного числа с окончанием -o — twarjenjo () противостоит ареалу с окончанием -e — twarjenje большинства остальных верхнелужицких и нижнелужицких диалектов (кроме говоров района к югу от города Бела Вода (Вайсвассер) (, ). На формирование такой диалектной обособленности наложили отпечаток как конфессиональные отличия, так и наличие собственного литературного языка на протяжении двух столетий (так, например, характерным для католического варианта верхнелужицкого языка было окончание -o в отглагольных существительных). Но вместе с тем католический и куловский диалекты сохранили между собой до настоящего времени ряд диалектных различий.

Dismayland: Paintings by Jeff Gillette
Jason Jose February 5, 2016
Before Banksy's life-size "Dismaland" bemusement park, there was Jeff Gillette's "Dismayland" which he first used in 2010 to describe his expansive series of paintings and assemblages depicting Disney structures and characters in a post-apocalyptic third world wasteland. The works were inspired by his visits to third-world slums as a Peace Corps volunteer in the late 1980s experiencing urban blight in North Africa, Southeast Asia, Central and South America, Mexico and Bangladesh. Gillette describes the slums as "having the most horrible living conditions on Earth," but he is attracted to the survival mentality of the people living there and the fundamental architecture. When he moved to Orange County in the early 1990s, living and working in the shadow of nearby Disneyland in Anaheim, the country's obsession with Disney culture inspired him to add the characters to his paintings and assemblage pieces of slums and eventually segueing to archetypal Disney buildings in his attempt "to find the absolute opposite of the happiest place on Earth."
Aside from the seething humanity, the suffering, the unfairness and cruelty of the slum is a strange beauty. The cacophony of filthy debris rising from oceans of garbage comprises an architecture of depravation and necessity. What emerges is a living environment of aesthetic wonder, spectacular visuals of space, color, form, and texture. These images, I re-create in the all too-realism of my "slumscape" artwork, in drawings, paintings, sculptures and installations.

Debbie is one of the two halves of Piglits Pre-school with Rosie (Masters) and she has now been 'playing' with children from the local community since 1998. Her association with the 7th started in 2004 when the Pre-school moved to its current location at the Group headquarters; she soon took on the role of Secretary to the Group Executive. However, her involvement with the Group actually goes back much further than this. When it was first decided to have a Beaver Colony here, back in the mid 80's she was a regular assistant, albeit she resisted the call to join Linda and Barbara in Uniform.
As the young people in her own family unit have joined various organisations, she has been involved in chaperoning at Theatre/public events; making props/costumes and generally having fun as part of the various team efforts. Combined with Piglits, home and study it has been difficult to add any more activities to her list. However, as some of these other 'hobbies' are now diminishing she has enjoyed getting more involved in 7thgroup events, such as the project Paul (Masters) co-ordinated with the Crawley Borough Council 'Lets Face It' campaign and going along to help at the annual cub camps.
In September 2011 her involvement has crept up a notch – she is now having great fun as a non-uniformed sectional assistant in the Cub Section and has taken the Jungle Book name of Bagheera. Debbie has also retained her position as the Group Secretary.

When People Can't See What's Right In Front Of Them
This is the preface to Po Bronson and Ashley Merriman's book Nurture Shock. It's one of the best stories I've read about how people can completely ignore irrefutable evidence that's right in front of them:
During the late 1960s, visitors to the Magic Castle— a private nightclub in Hollywood, California, run by professional magicians— were often delighted to see that the club had hired a Cary Grant look-alike as its doorman. As they'd step up to the portico, the door would be swung open by a dashing man in an impeccably tailored suit. "Welcome to the Castle," he charmed, seeming to enjoy his doppelgänger status. Once the guests were through the lobby, they would titter over just how much the doorman resembled the iconic actor. The nightclub is mere yards from the Chinese Theatre and the Walk of Fame. To have the best Cary Grant impersonator in the world holding the door for you was the perfect embodiment of the magic of Hollywood in all its forms.
However, the doorman pretending to be Cary Grant wasn't an impostor after all. It was, in fact, the real Cary Grant.
Grant, a charter member of the Castle, had been intrigued by magic since he was a kid. Part of the Castle's appeal to Grant and many other celebrities, though, was that the club has an ironclad rule— no cameras, no photographs, and no reporters. It gave stars the ability to have a quiet night out without gossip columns knowing.
Grant hung out in the lobby to be with the receptionist, Joan Lawton. They spent the hours talking about a more profound kind of Magic— something Grant cared more deeply about than the stage. Children.
Lawton's work at the Castle was her night job. By day, she was pursuing a certificate in the science of child development. Grant, then the father of a toddler, was fascinated by her study. He plied her for every scrap of research she was learning. "He wanted to know everything about kids," she recalled. Whenever he heard a car arrive outside, he'd jump to the door. He wasn't intentionally trying to fool the guests, but that was often the result. The normally autograph-seeking patrons left him alone.
So why didn't guests recognize he was the real thing?
The context threw them off. Nobody expected the real Cary Grant would appear in the humdrum position of a doorman. Magicians who performed at the Magic Castle were the best anywhere, so the guests came prepared to witness illusions. They assumed the handsome doorman was just the first illusion of the evening.
Here's the thing. When everything is all dressed up as entertainment— when it's all supposed to be magical and surprising and fascinating— the Real Thing may be perceived as just another tidbit for our amusement.
That is certainly the case in the realm of science.
In the immediacy of today's 24-7 news cycle, with television news, constant blogging, press releases, and e-mail, it feels as if no scientific breakthrough escapes notice. But these scientific findings are used like B-list celebrities— they're filler for when the real newsmakers aren't generating headlines. Each one gets its ten minutes of fame, more for our entertainment than our serious consideration. The next day, they are tossed aside, lipstick asmear, as the press wire churns out the science du jour. When they're presented as quick sound bites, it's impossible to know which findings really merit our attention.
Most scientific investigations can't live up to the demands of media packaging. At least for the science of child development, there have been no "Eureka!" moments that fit the classic characterization of a major scientific breakthrough. Rather than being the work of a single scholar, the new ideas have been hashed out by many scholars, sometimes dozens, who have been conducting research at universities the world over. Rather than new truths arriving on the wings of a single experiment, they have come at a crawl, over a decade, from various studies replicating and refining prior ones.
The result is that many important ideas have been right under our noses, building up over the last decade. As a society, collectively, we never recognized they were the real thing.
