NFL Blitz: Bengals get Bills into playoffs, Saints back into division crown, Browns went 0-16, Gruden to Raiders?
Welcome back, Buffalo.
NFLBy Kevin McGuire on January 1, 2018 January 1, 2018
There is a reason coaches preach playing all 60 minutes in a game. Sunday's example was a second-year wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals becoming the hero of Buffalo sports fans. As Week 17 neared its end, the AFC filled in the final couple of spots in the playoff bracket in dramatic fashion. The NFC had some seeding to sort out on the final day of the regular season as well, setting the stage for a pretty wide-open run to the Super Bowl.
Happy New Year, everybody. Enjoy the first NFL Blitz of 2018.
Patriots clinch home-field in AFC, Steelers are No. 2
The story of the AFC all season long suggested there were two really good teams in the Patriots and Steelers, and then it was pretty much a free-for-all after that. On Sunday, the Patriots left no doubt about which of the two top seeds would get the home-field advantage for the AFC playoffs. New England kept Tom Brady and the starters in well into the fourth quarter while handling the New York Jets in a 26-6 victory. The win locked up the top seed in the AFC. That was to be expected.

The Patriots also closed out the game with newcomer James Harrison making some defensive plays.

The Steelers needed a win at home against the Cleveland Browns and a Patriots loss (or tie) to grab the top spot in the AFC. Facing the Browns, the Steelers felt they could win the game without some key players, like Ben Roethlisberger and Le'Veon Bell. Pittsburgh also probably banked on expecting New England to win anyway, so the extra rest for top players on a bitterly cold day made perfect sense.
Still, the decision almost came back to haunt them as the Browns put up a valiant effort in their final attempt to pick up a win. As it stands, the Patriots have the top seed, followed by the Steelers getting next weekend off with a first-round bye.
We'll talk about the Browns a little bit later. But first, here's how the AFC playoff picture came together in the final moments.
Bills get in, thanks to the Bengals stunning the Ravens
The Buffalo Bills finally brought an end to their long playoff drought, and it could not have happened in more dramatic fashion. After taking care of business in Miami against the Dolphins after nearly blowing a sizable lead, the Bills had to wait and see what would happen in Baltimore, where the Ravens had to lose to the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Bengals did the Bills a solid with Andy Dalton delivering a game-winning touchdown pass to Tyler Boyd. It was the last bit of NFL action available on Sunday, meaning the final AFC playoff spot was not decided until the final minute of the regular season.
If you start this highlight at exactly 11:59…
You know what? Just play it on repeat until the New Year.
Start your 2018 off right.#CINvsBAL #Bengals50 pic.twitter.com/SkL7MLVlhM

Bills fans in Miami made sure to gather in the concourse to watch the end of the Ravens-Bengals game before making their way out of the stadium. It was worth it.

For all the @buffalobills fans in our mentions:
Happy New Year ? #Bengals50
So the Bills are in. Buffalo returns to the postseason for the first time since 1999. Welcome back, Buffalo.
The Bills are looking to get past the wild card weekend for the first time since 1995. But they were not the only AFC team to punch their playoff ticket on Sunday. Marcus Mariota, Derrick Henry and the Tennessee Titans are in too, thanks to a home win against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars will be hosting the Bills in the AFC Wild Card round, while the Titans will hit the road to play AFC West champion Kansas City.
The Ravens would have been in the postseason if they beat Cincinnati. Try as they might, the Los Angeles Chargers needed just a bit more help from the Dolphins to get into the postseason as the last AFC Wild Card. The Chargers missed out on the postseason despite a 30-10 blowout at home to the Raiders. The only way the Chargers would have gotten in is if the Ravens and Bills both lost.
Vikings lock up No. 2 seed in NFC
The Philadelphia Eagles already wrapped up home-field advantage and the number one seed in the NFC last week, but the Minnesota Vikings still had business to attend to in Week 17. Although they would clinch the second seed and a bye week in almost all of the various scenarios, there was still a chance the Vikings could fall to the No. 3 seed. Fortunately, the Vikings hosted the Chicago Bears in their final game of the season.
The Vikings are trying to become the first NFL team to play a Super Bowl in their home stadium. With the Eagles suddenly struggling without Carson Wentz and the way the Vikings are playing, that is not at all an unrealistic possibility.
We wouldn't be where we're at without fans like you, but we're not done yet.#BringItHome pic.twitter.com/38HkVBtmBV
— Minnesota Vikings (@Vikings) January 1, 2018
The Vikings would have taken the second seed even with a loss, because the Carolina Panthers lost on Sunday as well. Speaking of which…
NFC Wild Card picture
Like the Ravens in the AFC, the New Orleans Saints were stunned by a late touchdown by Tampa Bay when Jameis Winston connected with rookie Chris Godwin for a go-ahead score. Unlike the Ravens, the go-ahead touchdown by Tampa was insignificant to the Saints' playoff hopes and, as it turned out moments before, to the Saints' NFC South hopes. With the Carolina Panthers losing on the road to the Atlanta Falcons, the Saints clinched the division and will get a home game in the wild-card weekend.
The Panthers were already locked into a playoff spot, but will now have to go on the road for the wild-card weekend. Carolina had already been blocked from any shot at winning the No. 2 seed in the NFC by kickoff because Minnesota had won.
The Falcons winning against the Panthers means the defending NFC champions are back in the postseason. In a win-or-stay-home game, the Falcons clinched the No. 6 seed in the NFC playoffs behind a 300-yard day by Matt Ryan in a 22-10 decision. Atlanta would have been in anyway, though, because the Seattle Seahawks lost a puzzling one at home to the spoiler Arizona Cardinals. Russell Wilson and the Seahawks are staying home, losing three of their final four games after handling the Eagles in a big home win.
While the Eagles and Vikings get the week off, the Rams will host the Falcons and the Saints will host the Panthers. Game on.

Browns go 0-16
Give the Cleveland Browns some credit. After 15 straight losses, they gave it a commendable effort not to fall to 0-16 against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the regular season finale.
If not for a dropped pass by Corey Coleman, they may have very well been able to put one in the win column in the final week of the season. After DeShone Kizer escaped a sack to keep a play alive on fourth down, Kizer found a wide-open Coleman along the sideline for an easy pass, except the receiver let the ball go right through his hands.

The Browns will own the top pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. On top of that, they will also own the fourth overall pick (which previously belonged to the Houston Texans).
NFL Blitz
Cowboys 6, Eagles 0: The Eagles had nothing to play for and gave their starters a day off or took them out early. Unfortunately, what they got out of Nick Foles was far from inspiring. The Eagles head into the playoffs with the No. 1 seed in the NFC, and there is a lot of work to do to take advantage of the home-field playoff.
Also, this game was gross to watch, but the Dallas Cowboys ending the season 9-7 should make for an interesting offseason. Oh, what could have been if Ezekiel Elliott just served his six-game suspension earlier in the year. You just never know.
Lions 35, Packers 11: This was a game that was actually played in the NFL on Sunday. The Packers end the year 7-9, and the Lions finished 9-7. Neither team has to be happy with how this season played out.
Colts 22, Texans 13: Things got a bit testy.

And now the offseason begins with plenty of storylines between these two franchises. For starters, the Colts have fired Chuck Pagano.
The #Colts have fired coach Chuck Pagano. GM Chris Ballard will hire his first coach.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) December 31, 2017
And the Texans situation could be dicey with Bill O'Brien reportedly prepared to draw a line in the front office forcing owner Bob McNair to choose between he and GM Rick Smith.
#Texans coach Bill O'Brien will meet with owner Bob McNair tomorrow to discuss the direction of the personnel department and the process of hiring a GM. A lot to be hammered out, including the list of potential replacements for GM Rick Smith.
Meanwhile, Smith is taking an extended leave of absence to attend to his wife's battle with cancer.
Texans' GM Rick Smith is taking an extended leave of absence to take care of his wife, Tiffany, who recently was diagnosed with breast cancer, per a team source.
Texans' GM Rick Smith, who is taking leave effective immediately, has been tending to his wife, Tiffany, throughout this season, while she has been undergoing treatment in Arizona.
Giants 18, Redskins 10: Eli Manning and Kirk Cousins may have played the final games of their careers in their respective uniforms. The 2018 season could bring new environments for both quarterbacks, and that may be best for all involved. Cousins was dreadful in the final game of the year. Manning says he still wants to be with the Giants in 2018, although we will see how that all plays out.
The NFL Coaching Carousel is underway! Commence the Gruden rumors!
As is usually the case, the conclusion of an NFL regular season transitions quickly to the NFL Coaching Carousel for teams not making the playoffs. And yes, the Jon Gruden rumors are flying hot and heavy right now.
The Raiders have already fired Jack Del Rio, which was expected after a disappointing season in Oakland. The top name being thrown into the ring is Jon Gruden, who the Raiders once traded to Tampa Bay and later lost to as a head coach. Adam Schefter is pretty confident Gruden is leaving the Monday Night Football booth to go back to the Raiders.
"Jon Gruden is going to be the next coach of the Oakland Raiders." – @AdamSchefter pic.twitter.com/S4RiYzHXTq
— SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) January 1, 2018
The #Raiders made the move to fire Jack Del Rio with confidence they could lure Jon Gruden from the broadcast booth. They may have their buzz heading to Las Vegas.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) January 1, 2018
The Colts wasted little time firing Chuck Pagano, a move that seemed to be likely to happen for a while in a season without Andrew Luck healthy.
There were some rumors about Seattle's Pete Carroll possibly considering retiring, but the coach took to Twitter to try and put that one to bed.
People talking about retirement… I ain't old enough to think about retiring! ?
— Pete Carroll (@PeteCarroll) December 31, 2017
Two NFC North coaches got their pink slips Monday morning, as the Lions fired Jim Caldwell and the Bears dismissed John Fox.
Detroit Lions General Manager Bob Quinn has informed Jim Caldwell that he will not be returning as head coach.

Source: The #Bears have fired coach John Fox.
There could be more moves made Monday, resulting in a less than happy New Year for several NFL coaches. The New York Giants already fired their head coach earlier this season, so they are on the market as well.
All your rowdy friends are coming over for… the College Football Playoff?
With the season now in the books and no Monday Night Football scheduled tonight, we can get ready for the playoffs next weekend. In the meantime, settle in to watch some college football tonight as the College Football Playoff gets underway.
Oklahoma and Georgia in the Rose Bowl give you a chance to scout Baker Mayfield. Alabama and Clemson meet for the third straight postseason in the Sugar Bowl after that. Earlier in the day, you can see if future Colts head coach Jim Harbaugh (kidding… I think?) can lead Michigan to a win over South Carolina to close out an undefeated bowl season for the Big Ten.

Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe 10 Slot
Since its release in November 2018, Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe 10 has proved to be among Greentube's most well-received online games; in fact, it is featured in the parent company Novomatic Interactive's Impera Line—this is a HD edition platform consisting of the developer's top 50 bestselling games—alongside its twin slot called Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe 6. Although the first installment of Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe series was released in 2010, the idea was initially conceived in 2003.
The brand logo comprises of an artistic impression of a golden brown-haired fairy ordinarily called "Lucky Lady" that is the inspiration behind the name "Lucky Lady's Charm"; while "Deluxe 10" is the serial number. Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe 10 players match two, three, or four symbols.
Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe 10 Game Characteristics
Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe 10, which has 5/5 volatility rating from Novomatic, has two sets of reels—a 5X4 grid on the left and a 5X12 grid on the right. Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe 10 boasts of 100 pay lines and twelve symbols namely a four-leaf clover, golden coin, a silvery horseshoe, purple A, orange K, blue J, yellow Q, pink 10, Lucky Lady's head, glistening crystal ball, an elongated symbol of a ladybird in a flower field, and an elongated symbol of a stringed white rabbit foot set amid glistering leaves.
On the Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe 10 interface, players set the total bet by using the plus or minus, or by clicking the middle of the "total bet" icon and then selecting from a small pop-up showing a choice of sixteen total bets; these can be $0.20, $0.40, $0.60, $0.80, $1.00, $1.60, $2.00, $3.00, $4.00, $6.00, $8.00, $10.00, $16.00, $20.00, $30.00, and $40.00. Players then press the flickering "start" icon. Winnings can either be collected or risked with the aim of doubling or getting nothing in the gamble feature where players predict if a card is red or black.
Collectively, the 100 crisscrossing and multicolored fixed pay lines that appear on the two grids when setting the total bet seem like two high-rise structures made of haphazardly drawn lines, but one look at the individual lines in the menu shows: pay lines that are either horizontal; or lines that are shaped like V, W, trapezoid gully, and V gully, and their equivalent inverted shapes.
Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe 10 allows $0.20 minimum total bet and $40.00 maximum total bet. The Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe 10 payouts depend with the total bet, whereby, for instance, the $40.00 maximum total bet has these payouts for three, four, and five matching symbols. Matching up either a clover leaf or a golden coin pay $8, $16, and $80; a horseshoe or an A pay $4, $12, and $60; K, Q, J, or 10 pay $4, $8, and $40; a ladybird offers $20, $40, and $200; and the stringed rabbit foot gives $16, $32, and $160.
Lucky Lady's head and the glistening ball are the Wilds and in case four symbols appear on any row in grid 1 then it prompts one column on grid 2 to show twelve similar symbols. Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe 10 has free spins plus more payouts, which are: eight spins and $80 for three crystal balls, 12 spins and $200 for four crystal balls, and 20 spins and $800 for five crystal balls.
Frequent Luck in Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe 10
The RTP rate in Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe 10 is 96.02% and the house edge is 3.98%. Although a game of luck, the numerous pay lines means the so-called lady luck is always smiling at the player almost back-to-back and simultaneously.
What is the minimum age to play...

The UTPA Department of Music & Dance was looking to modernize their logo and also carry that over to the promotional print items that were sent by mail to advertise their program. The logo needed to represent both the music and dance departments, so the silhouette of the top-view of a piano was incorporated with the silhouette of a ballerina shoe to accommodate both. The green and orange color scheme were chosen to stay faithful to the school colors and the overall design of the promotional items were inspired by a modern take on the Bauhaus style, with lines and color blocking across the layouts.


There are no Payday Advances listed in Port Jervis, New York.
Here are a few things to consider before taking a payday loan or cash loan in Port Jervis New York.
Naturally when obtaining a payday loan there are a number of issues to take into account. Here are 10 of the ones we think are vital.
1. Get under way stashing an "emergency situation" savings fund of, say, $500. By doing this, you can prevent cash advances in the future.
2. Be mindful of bouncing checks when ever you carry inadequate funds to reimburse a payday loan or cash advance lender. These costs will build up rapidly and might sometimes be fairly high. In addition, your bank can also charge you extra fees.
3. As dreadful as it may be to ask a close friend or relative for funds , it can turn out better than getting a payday advance . If that is not an option, try obtaining a credit card or any personal credit line before a short term loan , frequently times the fees on these are much less than what you'll repay on a cash advance.
4. Rather than stretching out your payday loan and even paying a fine because you skipped the date it was due , make sure you mark the day it's due on your schedule and pay back the cash advance in full on that date.
5. Be sure that you have accessibility to your most recent work pay-check stubs along with your bank account details.
6. If you sense that you've been treated incorrectly or unlawfully by a specific payday advance loan or cash advance provider, you can submit a grievance with your state agency.
7. Pay day loans ordinarily have a ton of small print at the bottom of the agreement. Be sure you read through and comprehend all of it prior to signing.
8. Previous to receiving a cash advance or payday loan, contact the Better Business Bureau to find out how established the organization is and if it has any grievances.
9. Other than if you utilize payday loans and cash advance lenders very moderately, we passionately suggest getting debt advice if you want to discover how to skillfully budget and save.
10. Just to make certain that you pay your payday advance promptly, see to it that you recognize whenever the payday loan or cash loan is due and make the vital steps to be sure it is settled.

Dodge is pronounced brain dead and put on life support, leaving his stunned family and close friends with difficult decisions. Long ago, when a much younger Dodge drew up his will, he directed that his body be given to a cryonics company now owned by enigmatic tech entrepreneur Elmo Shepherd. Legally bound to follow the directive despite their misgivings, Dodge's family has his brain scanned and its data structures uploaded and stored in the cloud, until it can eventually be revived.
In the coming years, technology allows Dodge's brain to be turned back on. It is an achievement that is nothing less than the disruption of death itself. An eternal afterlife—the Bitworld—is created, in which humans continue to exist as digital souls.
But this brave new immortal world is not the Utopia it might first seem...
Fall, or Dodge in Hell is pure, unadulterated fun: a grand drama of analog and digital, man and machine, angels and demons, gods and followers, the finite and the eternal. In this exhilarating epic, Neal Stephenson raises profound existential questions and touches on the revolutionary breakthroughs that are transforming our future. Combining the technological, philosophical, and spiritual in one grand myth, he delivers a mind-blowing speculative literary saga for the modern age.
Neal Stephenson is the bestselling author of the novels Reamde, Anathem, The System of the World, The Confusion, Quicksilver, Cryptonomicon, The Diamond Age, Snow Crash, and Zodiac, and the groundbreaking nonfiction work In the Beginning...Was the Command Line. He lives in Seattle, Washington.

【Ken】Um so Miki, here in the US we do get a lot of time off.
【Miki】Sure. Uh so in the US we get a very long summer break. Like, mine would start middle of June and then we'd go back to school in August. So it's like two and a half months or something—somewhere around there. Um, so yeah. During that time what students do…I—I guess that really depends on the student.
【Miki】…and then the last week, they're like cramming to do summer homework if they had any. Um or, you know, I would—I used to teach AP Physics, so I would try to assign homework over that time, where they would prepare and get a good math background. Um, so there are things that students can do during the summer.
Um, they might also be going to, like a summer camp or summer program. Uh, it's really popular now to go to—especially if they're, uh…if they're juniors or seniors to go to a program where they get to stay at a college and then learn what the environment is like in college and get used to that.
【Miki】So it's pretty popular for students to apply to those kinds of programs and it also beefs up their resume. Um so if you have really ambitious students, then they're out there doing a lot of things or traveling around, um with that time…um, but there's also a lot of free time. So…yeah.
【Ken】 Yeah, I mean I have a lot of students who are doing those types of things that you talked about, but a lot of them are just working. You know?
【Ken】I have a student who's gonna (going to) be a lifeguard this summer, and you know, people working at In-N-Out for instance.
【Ken】 Money for various things, so there's that. And like you said, there's also students who just wanna do nothing. They're just happy doing nothing for two months, so.
【Miki】So it's a big spectrum.
【Miki】But yeah, that's a good point that you bring up about getting work experience too. I mean, you know it's good for them.
When does Miki's summer break start, and when does it end?
What high school class did Miki used to teach?
What are some of Ken's students doing over the summer?
Her summer break begins mid-June, then she goes back to teaching in August.
She used to teach AP Physics.
Some of his students are working to save up money and gain job experience.
Miki and Ken discuss summer vacation and the impact it has on the lives of both students and teachers in US education. This episode, they focus mostly on what students do with their summer breaks.
Most high school teachers in the US get long summer breaks. Miki's own summer break begins in mid-June and ends in August when classes begin again.
When she taught AP Physics, Miki would assign math homework so students could improve their math skills over the summer. Many juniors and seniors will explore various colleges to prepare for college life after high school.
Many of Ken's students spend their summers working jobs. They might be trying to save money for themselves or gain work experience.

LaPolitics: Outside players likely for leadership, redistricting
By Jeremy AlfordLaPolitics.com
Nov 26, 2019 at 7:02 PM Nov 26, 2019 at 7:02 PM
Lawmakers have long had the luxury of diving into redistricting sessions as lobbyists and major sat back and watched — usually from a distance.
That's because outside of the rails, those who could influence life inside the rails considered the topic off limits and internal to the House and Senate. In recent history, leadership elections have been hands off for government relations pros as well, with a few exceptions here and there.
But that all could change this term, according to some in the know, such as Senate President John Alario. As part of last week's LSU post-election forum, while speaking about the upcoming leadership elections, Alario said any diminishing of the role traditionally played by the governor could result in increased activity by special interests, donors and lobbyists.
"The opposite of having (Gov. John Bel Edwards) support someone is to have somebody being supported by some outside interests," Alario said, adding that those interests would most likely be interested in disrupting the incumbent's second term.
While there's already money from special interests floating around the leadership ether, the upcoming redistricting process is attracting outside eyes as well. For example, the Louisiana-based Fair Districts, a "grass-roots, nonpartisan alliance of citizens advocating for redistricting reform," is said to be firming up its operations and expanding ahead of the 2020 regular session.
Both mainline political parties are teeing up their maps and arguments as well, and in some corners even potential litigation strategies are being penned.
As for possible policy proposals for the 2020 regular session, we just need to look at other states. Advocates in Illinois, Oklahoma, Oregon and Virginia are currently pushing proposals to take map-making powers away from lawmakers and give them instead to nonpartisan commissions. If that happens, they'll join 14 other states that already have such panels.
In regard to the action on the streets ahead of the actual 2020 Census, we should begin seeing increased activity from nonprofits and partisan groups here fairly soon. They'll be working overtime to make sure the federal head-counters capture as many people as possible. (A massive coalition in Texas was just created to spearhead such efforts to our west.)
The 2020 Census and 2021 redistricting session represent a complex web of politics and population. Some states are already reviewing and approving plans as others apply new mathematical systems to their mapmaking. Plus questions linger about how prison populations should be handled and whether new forms of data should be gathered by the U.S. Census Bureau.
That's all to say the process will probably be ugly, especially in Louisiana, with a Democrat in the Governor's Mansion, a GOP supermajority in the Senate and another near-supermajority in the House.
Louisiana's first major municipal race is already underway ahead of the 2020 spring ballot.
Businessman Friday Ellis will be challenging Monroe Mayor Jamie Mayo in the April 4 municipal elections. Qualifying is in January.
Ellis, LABI's 2019 Free Enterprise Champion, has already been endorsed by Rep.-elect Michael Echols in his bid to unseat the Democratic incumbent. Regarding the challenge, Mayo released a statement to local reporters noting that Ellis "will be the fourth former city employee to seek the office of mayor during my administration."
The spring presidential primary ballot will also host several other races for mayor, a district judgeship, an appellate seat, the Republican State Central Committee and the Democratic State Central Committee. Plus, it'll feature presidential nominees (their filing deadline is Jan. 10).
The fall ballots next year will be even hotter, obviously, with President Donald Trump at the top and U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy defending his post alongside members of our congressional delegation. We'll see yet another state Supreme Court election next fall, and two races are on tap for the Public Service Commission. The jungle primary is scheduled for Nov. 3 and the runoffs, as needed, will be Dec. 5, 2020.
As of now there is only one proposed constitutional amendment slotted for the November ballot, and it would add language to Louisiana's charter to ensure there are no rights or privileges allowed in the document for abortions and abortion-related funding.
In other news, and just in case the above review wasn't forward-looking enough for you, intrepid journalist Gregory Todd Hilburn of the USA TODAY Network of Louisiana recently offered us a forecast of the 2023 governor's race.
Hilburn led his story with Attorney General Jeff Landry (unavailable for comment) and Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser (he said he is "absolutely" thinking about running).
As for the rest, Hilburn had this to add: "Among other Republicans who might have the 2023 race on their radar are Congressman Garret Graves of Baton Rouge, state Sen. Sharon Hewitt of Slidell, U.S. Sen. John Kennedy, Treasurer John Schroder and Agriculture Commissioner Mike Strain. Republican Congressman Steve Scalise of Metairie is popular statewide, but he declined to run for governor this year even when asked directly by President Donald Trump to enter the race."
"There's no competing with the leader of the free world when he comes and campaigns against you. Our strategy became, 'Continue telling the story that we've been telling all along.'"
— Gov. John Bel Edwards' campaign manager Richard Carbo, at a post-election forum hosted this week by LSU's Manship School of Mass Communication
"Our first poll had him at 49 percent."
—Eddie Rispone campaign manager Bryan Reed, discussing Edwards
"We didn't have enough to get on TV in East Baton Rouge."
— Congressman Ralph Abraham's senior consultant, Lionel Rainey III, explaining why the campaign ran third in the primary
"A lot of folks were intimidated by Gov. Edwards, and for good cause."
— Abraham chief of staff Luke Letlow

Home Lifestyle These 2 TV shows have surprisingly had a great influence on "Gilmore"
These 2 TV shows have surprisingly had a great influence on "Gilmore"
Gilmore filles was led by the incomparable wife-husband team Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino – who would later co-create the Emmy-winning series. The wonderful Mrs. Maisel. It may surprise fans that the previous shows the Palladinos have worked on don't sound like much Gilmore filles.
'Gilmore Girls' Amy-Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino Revisit WB 2020 Fashion Show

The New York Times recently reported on the "enduring" fandom surrounding Gilmore filles. They also highlighted shows that co-creators Sherman-Palladino and her husband Palladino have worked on before. Gilmore filles – Both are series that we would not normally pair with the popular WB series.
"In the 1990s, Sherman-Palladino was a writer on the hit ABC series RoseanneThe Times noted. As the Gilmore filles showrunner told the newspaper it was "before designer Roseanne Barr 'made conspiracy theories." " Roseanne, which was on television from 1988 to 1997, was a comedy series that often got very real about what it meant to struggle as a working-class family.
At the same time, Palladino worked "on the editorial staff of Family guyThe irreverent animated series, often not very PC.
Eventually, Sherman-Palladino says she experienced a "massive blackout" – and chose not to make the half-hour playoffs. Palladino, according to The Times, "convinced her to take a little time to write something original."
How Gilmore Girls Season 1 Was Born
RELATED: 'Gilmore Girls' 'Wouldn't Exist' Without This Classic Cult Movie
During the ATX TV Festival, as part of the Gilmore filles Meeting 15-year-old Sherman-Palladino called his time Roseanne a "nightmare job". In fact, she was ready to cancel her television career all together. the GG The designer explained the whole story of her iconic series:
I had just decided that I would never work in television again. … I said to myself "I can't". My husband said, "Shh, just write something you want to write. I had a meeting at the WB… and, I walked in and presented them with a bunch of stuff… The last thing I said to them was, 'I have this idea of a mother and a daughter, and their closer than mother-daughter friends, and they said, "OK, we'll buy this."
And that's how Gilmore filles came into the world. After the World Bank bought the mother-daughter-themed series, Palladino left the Family guy writers room to collaborate GG.
What Amy Sherman-Palladino Learned While Writing for 'Roseanne'
While Roseanne and Family guy are very different shows from Gilmore filles, Sherman-Palladino and Palladino learned a lot from writing about these series – and they brought those lessons to Gilmore.
"Life is great," Sherman-Palladino said at the ATX meeting. "Sometimes the average, everyday things have more of an impact." This is something she took away from her time on Barr's series:
The motto on Roseanne was "play big, play big". I've stuck with this my whole career because I really believe it's the best story. It's in the little moments that life changes.
According to the New York Times, this slogan originates in particular Roseanne "Producer Bob Myer."
« Gilmore stubbornly insisted on the richness of the mundane, "the publication continued. Indeed, Gilmore filles Often keeps "big moments" offscreen – like a car accident or an important date. The characters' reactions to these events most often provide the emotional punch.

But the series hasn't been too tasty in terms of what's going on in the characters' lives, either. Because in real life those kind of life changing moments don't Actually happen that often. So much GG the episodes stick to topics that other shows would find boring. As the Times recalled:
There were episodes of Lorelai dressing inappropriately to visit Rory's pretentious new prep school, and Rory getting a D on a test. Gilmore carefully avoided what Sherman-Palladino calls "Who in town killed Sookie?" stories.
How Daniel Palladino's 'Family Guy' Experience Influenced His 'Gilmore Girls' Episodes – As Well As The Cast
Palladino Family guy influence is also reflected in Gilmore filles – notably via the countless references of pop culture. The episodes written by Palladino are often known to be additional– heavy on references – and it tends to include those that are slightly more obscure than normal.
Family guy actors also appear throughout Gilmore filles; in fact, Alex Borstein, who voices Lois Griffin, came close to playing the character of Sookie. However, the show included her in other roles on Gilmore: The Inn's harp player in Season 1 as well as Emily's former stylist, Miss Celine, later in the series.
same Family guy creator Seth MacFarlane appears in an episode of Gilmore filles Season 2, playing a particularly distraught member of the Lorelai Business School class. In a later episode, only his recognizable voice is heard on Lorelai's answering machine; in this episode, he plays Emily's lawyer.
As Gilmore filles reminds us: inspiration can really come from anywhere.

Wondering about CFA designation usage? You no doubt remember the huge sigh of relief after finding out you passed the most recent CFA exam or when you finally earned the charter.
Now, try to imagine the agony you'll feel each day after being barred from using the designation.
Looking through the Institute's website, I came across the list of individuals currently serving public disciplinary sanctions for violating the Code and Standards. The list includes a range of violations and punishments including suspension and temporary sanctions.
Exam-related disciplinary actions are not on the list, nor are those whose duration of suspension has expired. There are also private sanctions or reprimands that do not appear on the list barred from CFA designation usage.
One hundred and twenty-four names make up the woeful bunch, spanning 18 countries. Each name on the list is linked to a description of the specific case. Many on the list were suspended for some form of insider trading, a few for high profile cases like the Galleon Group case and 'expert networks'.
The page makes for an interesting, and educational, read. A couple of charter holders are actually convicted of unlawful possession with the intent to deliver cannabis! Really? You have all this financial knowledge rolling around up there and chose to push weed on the corner? Another guy included the CFA designation after his name when posting to pornographic chat rooms on the internet.
Some cases are not quite as blatant. One charter holder was found guilty of not conducting adequate, independent research and analysis on companies she covered. The analyst wrote 59 research reports on companies, most of which were written exclusively with information provided by the issuers, and all rated a 'speculative buy.' Basically, the charter holder was writing promotional material for the companies and passing them off as equity reports.
None of the sanctions are for anything unfair or that the charter holder might not have realized they were breaking the code or standards. It doesn't seem like the page is there for the public humiliation of the listed names, or necessarily to scare charter holders into ethical behavior.
While some of the activities amounted to a fairly large dollar amount of ill-gotten gains, it occurred to me that none of them amounted to enough that would be worth giving up the ability to work in the industry or CFA designation usage. While it may seem that all that time spent studying the Code and Standards for the exams was merely for rote memorization, don't think it does not apply after you get the charter.
You have worked too hard to achieve your successes. Don't make it a wasted effort by compromising your ethics.

The Grudge Reboot
The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It
Cassandra Peterson Reveals She Is Shopping Around a New Elvira Movie
By Patrick Cavanaugh - October 11, 2018 02:42 pm EDT
Cassandra Peterson has conquered multiple mediums with her character Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, which included two live-action films in 1988 and 2001. The performer recently confirmed that she had written a third film which she is currently shopping around.
The actress confirmed with Bloody Disgusting last weekend that she was exploring options for where she could further develop the movie and that it would likely be with a streaming platform like Netflix, Hulu, or Shudder.
While this news is sure to delight fans, this is far from confirmation that the film will officially happen, though the current nostalgia over the '80s could make Elvira's feature-film return more successful than ever.
Elvira: Mistress of the Dark hit theaters in 1988 at the peak of the character's popularity. The film found the character inheriting a massive house from a relative who passed away in a boring, conservative town. Her presence shocked the entire community, but she remained steadfast in her way of life.
Peterson co-wrote another film featuring the character, Elvira's Haunted Hills, in which she played the character in 1851 who was courted by a rich doctor. When Elvira arrives at the doctor's castle, she learns that she resembles the doctor's former wife, who had passed away.
Despite the actress seeming hopeful that the film could come to fruition, she shared with ComicBook.com last year that she didn't think another film was in the cards for the character.
"I go back and forth on that," Peterson told ComicBook.com about her interests in another movie. "Honestly, I kind of feel like you can't reheat an old soufflé, and I wouldn't want to make another Elvira film if it didn't have the impact that the first one had, and that one has become a real cult classic."
The performer likened her character's popularity to another pop culture personality from the '80s, Paul Reubens' Pee-Wee Herman, and the underwhelming response of his Netflix special.
"Pee-Wee's first movie was so freaking great and then he did the Netflix one and I loved it, I absolutely adored it," Peterson gushed. "I thought it was great, but people still criticized it by comparing it to that first one and it's like, how are you ever going to do that again? It was just magic, and I'm afraid of doing that and going, 'Yeah, Elvira did another film and, you know. It didn't live up to the first one.' That's just kind of a bummer."
Stay tuned for details on Elvira's feature-film future.

Individual study: Long-term management of a natterjack toad (Bufo calamita) population in southern Britain
Published source details
Banks B., Beebee T.J.C. & Denton J.S. (1993) Long-term management of a natterjack toad (Bufo calamita) population in southern Britain. Amphibia-Reptilia, 14, 155-168
This study is summarised as evidence for the intervention(s) shown on the right. The icon shows which synopsis it is relevant to.
Clear vegetation
A before-and-after study in 1972–1991 of heathland in Hampshire, UK (Banks, Beebee & Denton 1993) found that vegetation clearance resulted in increased occupancy by natterjack toads Bufo calamita (see also Buckley & Beebee 2004). At least six toads, including four juveniles, took up residence and established home ranges at the site within a year of vegetation clearance. However, within two years rank vegetation covered 90% of the ground and no toads remained in the area. Scrub was cleared from 40 ha by cutting and uprooting and bracken was treated with herbicide over 12 ha. Toads were monitored once every 10 days in March and August each year.
Control invasive plants
A before-and-after study in 1972–1991 of ponds on heathland in Hampshire, England, UK (Banks, Beebee & Denton 1993) found that pond restoration and creation with swamp stonecrop Crassula helmsii control, vegetation clearance, liming and captive-rearing and releasing toadlets resulted in a three-fold increase in natterjack toad Bufo calamita populations. Spawn string counts, which relate to the female breeding population, increased from 15 to 43. Swamp stonecrop was eliminated from two of six new ponds it invaded and controlled in two others. Nine small ponds (< 1,000 m2) were created and four restored by excavation. Swamp stonecrop was pulled up and treated with herbicide. In addition, one pond was treated with limestone (1983–1989), scrub was cleared by cutting and uprooting (40 ha) and bracken was treated with herbicide (12 ha). Captive-reared toadlets were released in 1975 (8,800), 1979, 1980 and 1981 (1,000 each). Each year, toads were monitored every 10 days in March and August.
Add lime to water bodies to reduce acidification
A before-and-after study in 1983–1989 of a heathland pond in Hampshire, UK (Banks et al 1983) found that adding limestone temporarily increased breeding by natterjack toads Bufo calamita. The pond was used for breeding more frequently while it was being limed (1–9 vs. 0–3 spawn strings), but tadpole mortality was high and metamorphic success low and toads abandoned the pond before liming ceased. A naturally acid pond (735 m2) had 25 kg of powdered limestone added annually in April (1983–1989). Toads were monitored before, during and after the intervention, once every 10 days in March and August each year.
Deepen, de-silt or re-profile ponds
A before-and-after study in 1972–1991 of ponds on heathland in Hampshire, UK (Banks, Beebee & Denton 1993) found that pond restoration by deepening, along with other interventions, tripled a natterjack toad Bufo calamita population. Spawn string counts (female population) increased from 15 to 43, with a maximum number of 48 in 1989 (see also Buckley & Beebee 2004). Nine small ponds (< 1,000 m2) were created and four restored by excavation to generate shallow, temporary ponds with gradually shelved margins. Scrub was cleared from 40 ha by cutting and uprooting, bracken was treated with herbicide over 12 ha and swamp stonecrop Crassula helmsii, which invaded six new ponds, was pulled up and treated with herbicide. Captive-reared toadlets raised from spawn were released in 1975 (8,800), 1979, 1980 and 1981 (1,000 each). Limestone was added to one naturally acid pond (735 m2) annually in April 1983–1989. Toads were monitored annually, once every 10 days in March and August.

Create ponds for natterjack toads
A before-and-after study in 1972–1991 on heathland in Hampshire, England, UK (Banks, Beebee & Denton 1993) found that pond creation, along with other interventions resulted in a three-fold increase in a natterjack toad Bufo calamita population (see also Buckley & Beebee 2004). Egg string counts (female population) increased from 15 to 43, with a maximum number of 48 in 1989. Ponds tended to be used for breeding within a year of construction. Nine small ponds (< 1,000 m2) were created and four restored by excavation. Scrub, bracken and swamp stonecrop Crassula helmsii were controlled. Captive-reared toadlets raised from eggs were released in 1975 (8,800), 1979, 1980 and 1981 (1000 each). Limestone was added to one naturally acid pond (735 m2) in April 1983–1989. Toads were monitored annually, once every 10 days in March and August.
Head-start amphibians for release
A before-and-after study in 1972–1991 of natterjack toads Bufo calamita on heathland in Hampshire, UK (Banks, Beebee & Denton 1993) found that captive-rearing and releasing toadlets, along with aquatic and terrestrial habitat management, tripled the population (see also Buckley & Beebee 2004). Egg string counts, i.e. the female population increased from 15 to 43, with a maximum 48 in 1989. Captive-reared toadlets raised from eggs were released in 1975 (8,800), 1979, 1980 and 1981 (1,000/year). Nine small ponds were created (< 1,000 m2) and four restored by excavation. In addition, scrub, bracken and swamp stonecrop Crassula helmsii were removed and limestone was added to one acidic pond annually in 1983–1989. Toads were monitored each 10 days in March and August each year.

Fun fact! Comedian, actor, writer, and director David Cross is a true-school ATLien … Or at least he spent his formative years in Atlanta, before embarking on a career in television and films. His screen time has been punctuated by career highs writing and acting on HBO's sketch comedy show "Mr. Show with Bob and David," playing the role of Tobias Fünke on "Arrested Development," and most recently as Cassius's Green's white voice in Boots Riley's Orwellian comedy film, Sorry to Bother You.
Cross is on the road again, making stand up appearances across North America as part of 2018's Oh Come On Tour. On Sat., Aug. 11, he makes a stop at Atlanta Symphony Hall. Before coming to town, Cross took a few minutes to talk about his years growing up in Atlanta years, punk rock, and the ins and outs of how his stand up sets come together.

Rite of Election and Call to Continuing ...
NEW ULM – Since last fall, parishes in the Diocese of New Ulm have been leading the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA), a process to educate and form those seeking full communion into the Catholic Church. One step of the RCIA is the Rite of Election and Call to Continuing Conversion. This year the rite was held on Sunday, March 10 at the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in New Ulm. More than eight catechumens and 30 candidates representing more than ten parishes in the diocese are seeking membership in the Catholic Church. In the rite, catechumens are those wishing to join the Church who have not been baptized; candidates are those who have been baptized. Although winter weather kept most parishes away from attending the ceremony, those who were able to make it had the opportunity to pose with the bishop following the rite. Pictured with Bishop John M. LeVoir is candidate Andrew Warburton (left) and his sponsor Deacon Ken Noyes from the Church of the Holy Redeemer in Marshall.
Catholic Schools Week celebrated!
Preparing for the Birth of Jesus
Prayer in Communion with Mary
NEW ULM - On Saturday morning, April 13 Bishop John M. LeVoir, joined by priests and deacons as well as parishioners of the diocese, celebrated the annual sacred Chrism Mass at the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in New Ulm. Originally scheduled for Thursday, April 11 in Olivia, the Mass had been postponed due to inclement weather. The Chrism Mass is the only liturgy wherein the bishop consecrates the Holy Chrism Oil and blesses the Oil of the Sick and the Oil of Catechumens to be used in sacramental anointing throughout the year in parishes in the diocese. During the Mass, Bishop LeVoir invited the priests to rise and reaffirm their priestly commitments originally promised at their ordinations. Pictured, Bishop LeVoir mixes the Chrism Oil with fragrant balsam before breathing into the glass vessel symbolizing the infusion of the Holy Spirit in an act of sacred consecration. Looking on is Fr. Aaron Johanneck, director of the diocesan Office of Worship.

Since 1974, National Catholic Schools Week has been the annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. The celebration starts the last Sunday in January and runs all week, which in 2019 is January 27 - February 2. Each year during this special week, Bishop John M. LeVoir schedules time for a pastoral visit to a number of the Catholic schools in the diocese. This is an opportunity for the bishop to celebrate Mass, visit with the students, and offer his personal support to the parish pastoral leaders and school faculty. In January, Diocese of New Ulm seminarians also made school visits. Pictured from left, seminarians Tanner Thooft, Joshua Bot, and Nathan Hansen tell the first grade and preschool students at St. Anne's in Wabasso about their life in the seminary. The men fielded many questions about their prayer life, hearing the Call, and their favorite foods! (More Catholic Schools coverage in the Jan.-Feb. Prairie Catholic)
On Sunday, Dec. 9, Bishop John M. LeVoir led the annual Advent Prayer Service, a special time for people of the diocese to gather to pray and focus on Advent in preparation for the birth of Jesus. This year the Church of St. Anastasia in Hutchinson hosted the event. Families, especially with young children, were encouraged to bring the baby Jesus figure from their home nativity set to be individually blessed by the bishop. Jamie Anglin and her children Easton (left) and Isabella from St. John parish in Darwin, brought the baby Jesus figure from their home nativity set to be blessed. In keeping with the Advent season, a "swaddling clothes" collection was taken for babies in need.

Hispanic Catholics gather in April for regional V Encuentro
ALEXANDRIA - Over 200 spirit-filled people gathered in Alexandria on April 13 and 14 for the regional V Encuentro (Fifth Encounter), an initiative of the U.S. bishops, calling Catholic leaders to "listen with profound attention to the needs, challenges, and aspirations that the growing Hispanic/Latino population faces in daily life." The April gathering included people from the U.S. Church's region 8 which covers Minnesota and North and South Dakota. It was the next step in the process following the New Ulm diocesan V Encuentro last September and a precursor to the national V Encuentro planned for September 2018 in Grapevine. Texas.
Welcome those seeking to join the Church this Easter
NEW ULM – Each year as Lent begins, the Church celebrates the Rite of Election and the Call to Continuing Conversion as part of the process of the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, or RCIA. Its focus is on two groups of people: catechumens, or unbaptized people seeking the three sacraments of initiation – Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist; and candidates, those baptized in a separated ecclesial community who wish to be received into the full communion of the Catholic Church, or those baptized Catholic but previously uncatechized adults who wish to complete their Christian initiation through the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist. During this year's Rite of Election and the Call to Continuing Conversion held Feb. 18 at the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in New Ulm, Bishop John M. LeVoir welcomed five catechumens and 46 candidates from 17 parishes in the diocese. As part of the liturgy, parishes come before the bishop bearing the Book of the Elect that catechumens had signed at their parish during what is called the Rite of Sending. Pictured, Mary Grack, director of Faith Formation for the Church of St. Peter in St. Peter looks on as Bishop LeVoir signs her parish's Book of the Elect.

Issue more important than the weather
ST. PAUL – Despite the snowstorm, more than 1,000 gathered at the State Capitol Jan. 22 during the March for Life, sponsored by Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life. The annual event marked the 45th anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to legalize abortion. Prior to the march, a slightly smaller-than-usual crowd attended a prayer service at the Cathedral of St. Paul led by Archbishop Bernard A. Hebda, archbishop of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. Heavier snow in southern Minnesota prevented some groups from making the trip, including many from the Diocese of New Ulm. Bundled in jackets and hats, march participants Ann Hagens, left, of St. Peter in Richfield and Beth Boyle of St. Bonaventure in Bloomington make their way through the snowy conditions from the Cathedral of Saint Paul to the State Capitol in Saint Paul.

Love not in word but in deed
NEW ULM - "Blessed . . . are the open hands that embrace the poor and help them: They are hands that bring hope," said Pope Francis in his message marking the first World Day of the Poor on Sunday, Nov. 19, 2017. Hoping to raise the visibility of the most vulnerable, the Holy Father challenges each of us to engage in the work of ending poverty, homelessness, and hunger. In response, parishes in the Diocese of New Ulm were to consider collecting items for their local food shelf and continue to so throughout the Advent season. Students in the Holy Cross Area Faith Community faith formation program, (Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, New Ulm; St. Mary, New Ulm; St. John the Baptist, Searles; St. George, West Newton Township; and St. Gregory the Great, Lafayette) stepped up to the task. Standing next to collected food shelf items are students of one of the St. Mary's third grade faith formation classes.

Prayerful Plea for Peace
Pope Francis gives his "Urbi et Orbi" blessing in St. Peter's Square on Christmas Day 2016. In his traditional message "urbi et orbi" ("to the city and to the world"), the pope prayed that the Child Jesus, who is also the Prince of Peace, would bring a real and lasting peace to those suffering from violence and conflict around the world. He prayed specifically for areas of the world which are affected by violence, including Syria, countries that make up the Holy Land, various parts of Africa, Myanmar, Colombia, and Eastern Ukraine.

Creative mixed media artists like Indiana's Donna Arnold use a combination of watercolor paints and creative collage to create vibrant modern contemporary art. Her experimental art process results in often unexpected, sometimes whimsical paintings that are ready to enliven any wall.
Often inspired by the human figure, birds or flowers, her art is a semi-abstract interpretation of the subject matter using the nontraditional tools of mixed media collage. "I respond to colorful art work, so using an array of brightly textured papers in combination with the paint is truly a pleasure." The results are modern abstract acrylic paintings.
In her modern figurative work, she interprets her subject with just watercolor painting finding the need for a more direct approach. No matter the medium, good design is imperative in creating a strong piece of colorful art, so based on experimental beginnings, Donna develops her paintings around the basic principals of design.
Mixed media is one of those impressive and intimidating sounding art techniques that seems more complicated than it actually is. Contemporary paintings combine different painting and drawing materials and methods rather than using just one medium. Any materials can be used, but Donna limits her experimental art to paint and personally created papers. The papers are created with hand-carved stamps, stencils, and an endless array of found materials – recycling at it's best.
Mixed media painting isn't a 20th century phenomenon though earlier attempts were far more limited than modern abstract paintings. For example, Leonardo da Vinci mixed pastels with other drawing materials in his figurative art; William Blake added watercolor washes to his prints; Edgar Degas combined charcoal, printing inks and pastels.
In the 1920's Paul Klee, Pablo Picasso, and Salvador Dali all incorporated mixed media collage into their art.
All it takes is imagination!
Working primarily with traditional watercolors as a figurative artist and teacher, Donna became curious about the mixed media art with its vibrant colors and textures she saw being produced. Several trips to the Southwest gave her the opportunity to work with artists doing modern abstract acrylic paintings with collage techniques. It was an inspirational experience that sent her on a new path of being an experimental artist. "I find being a collage artist pushes me in new interpretive directions. I love producing work that can be either whimsical, figurative or abstract in design, but always colorful, always a bit unconventional due to using mixed media materials.
After a career as an art educator, high school and adult classes, the freedom to pursue a personal muse and working with other colorful artists is a source of joy for the ever-experimental artist.
Donna paints with a true passion for the process, experimenting with several design possibilities for the collage artwork. Next comes creating a palette of personally created papers using vibrant colors textured with self-made stamps, stencils, and an endless array of found materials – recycling at it's best.
Then a woman's figure or face often is the genesis for many of the creative collage designs. On an abstract acrylic background, the process of building the painting begins. There are many layers required in the collage paintings, either paint or papers, before the final design is complete.
Donna's work is often about sharing an observation of the human condition, sharing a story. Her viewpoint may be whimsical, sympathetic or sometimes, with her colorful art, about the beauty that surrounds us. Many messages are subtle and let the viewer respond with their own opinion. You, the viewer, should spend some time exploring the thought behind each collage idea.
What initiates your response? Are there hidden meanings? Does something make you smile, become thoughtful, or trigger an emotional response? If it speaks to you, you have found an evocative piece of wall art.
Even though Donna has found new stimulus with mixed media collage, she successfully continues her work as a figurative artist. She has refined her drawing and paintings skills to a high level in figure paintings that reflect our urban environment. Contemporary art in subject matter, the large watercolor paintings reflect life in the here and now, whether in the urban culture of Chicago or on the streets of Havana. This format allows the artist's penchant for telling a story.
Where do these people come from? What does the future hold for them? Complex in design and highly detailed, the figurative paintings have been well received in both regional and national juried art exhibitions.
Donna began painting and teaching art in the early '80's. Now based in Indianapolis, her work has been included in many group and solo shows in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and Arizona. Early in her career she received a prestigious Lilly grant that was instrumental in the development of her contemporary artwork.

her out of house and home.
back and forth on its hinges...beckoning, beckoning.
Knocks before she goes in...smiles to herself.
Old habits died hard, right enough.
for a bit....anything but go out in the dark.
So many things going on in this one, Tina. Love, loss, disappointment, aging, the sense of growing isolation... and the comfort, still, in those small familiar things. That final stanza is perfect in capturing it all.
Good morning, Stan, or I guess that should be afternoon, now. Thank you so much for taking the trouble to read and for your thoughts; as ever, inspiring.
Lovely thoughts anf feelings here.
Ends on a very 'sweet' note.
'Knocks before she goes in...smiles to herself.
Then the last two stanzas nail it for any reader who could not understand her need to find comfort.
I liked this, too. Agree with above comments.
My thanks to you, Bee. Have a great Monday.
So pleased that I did, Rhiannon, at least, for you Thank you, so very much for telling me.
Loved this, Tina. It's never easy. And I know how much a loss like that affects the elderly, especially. Lost our dog not too long ago and it wasn't easy. Had to carry him out to the car in a make-shift stretcher. Then to the vets, where we all sat and waited after the vet injected the needle. We hovered around him and I cried like a baby.
A sad story, Rich. Thanks for reading mine, and I'm so very sorry about your dog. We lost our cat, a few years ago now, to a stroke. The vet is only just round the corner from me, but the journey there and back, so very long.
This poems is as always dense, carefully constructed and full of character. I can see this lovely lady, feel her many losses and want to give her a hug.
I love the seemingly nonchalant dealing with blows, compartmentalizing the hurts and only letting them come forward when seated and in control. I liked everything about this... as usual.
I even liked the question I was left with at the end, wondering how the piece of wood was still warm - was it sitting in the late afternoon sun?

00:00 [Commentator] A long time pioneer for the open Internet Eben Moglen champions the idea of a Freedom Box.
00:08 [Eben Moglen] They are inexpensive, compact, low power machines like this (showing the device). That can do everything a much larger server computer can do.
00:16 [Commentator] It starts with a device made by global scale technologies in California, which sells for a 100 dollars. Think of it as a blank canvas. The company says it can be used for many tasks, like controlling the lights in your house but combined with Moglen's software initiative it would become a Freedom Box: designed to circumvent government's censorship.
00:36 [Eben Moglen] If you have one and your friend Suzie has one, then you and Suzie can have sharing of your lives like with Facebook or with Twitter except insecurity using encryption.
00:48 [Commentator] Even though it does't look like a computer, it can act like one. Instead of a mouse or a keyboard you use a smartphone or a tablet like an iPad to run it. The device plugs in in a power outlet and communicates through regular Internet access or if that's get shut of: a wireless connection.
01:05 [Interviewer] How would this be used in a country like Libya?
01:09 [Eben Moglen] They have no Internet because the government has cut their ability to communicate, and cellphone systems are either shut or jammed. Boxes like these in people's houses could make a mesh that is just the boxes communicating by wireless between themselves.
01:27 [Peter Eckersley, Electronic Frontier Foundation] Maybe that's possible, that's very ambitious.
01:31 [Commentator] Peter Eckersley is from the Electronic Frontier Foundation that supports online freedoms but he worries that the Freedom Box acquires too much computer know-how.


Getting on well with your workmates is desirable for all of us – but sometimes it's a matter of life and death.
In the case of Brighton & Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust v Akinwunmi, Mr Akinwunmi ('Mr A') was a consultant neurosurgeon for the NHS trust. Mr A had poor relationships with a number of fellow surgeons, and had previously complained that he was being bullied - and bought a race discrimination claim to the Employment Tribunal, which was settled.
It had been agreed that Mr A would take an unpaid three month sabbatical. During this sabbatical, Mr A raised some concerns about patient safety and alleged that his colleagues were turning away NHS patients whilst accepting private work. His colleagues claimed that he was incompetent and his practices were unsafe. A complaint was made to the police that Mr A had also threatened to assault one of his colleagues. The police decided to take no further action - but the Trust failed to notify Mr A of this.
A decision was made to limit his sabbatical to three months, Mr A appealed against this decision but his appeal was not upheld, and his absence from work became unauthorised. Mr A argued that it was impossible for him to return to work as there were various serious outstanding issues with his colleagues and this could be a risk to patient safety. Mr A was also concerned the police might arrest him if he returned to work and came into contact with the colleague he was alleged to have threatened.
The Trust stated that the complaints could not be dealt with until he returned. A disciplinary hearing was held and Mr A was dismissed because of his unauthorised absence. Mr A brought claims for unfair dismissal, automatic unfair dismissal because of whistleblowing and victimisation.
The ET dismissed Mr A's claims for whistleblowing and victimisation but did find that his dismissal was unfair. On appeal the Employment Appeal Tribunal agreed that dismissing Mr A for his unauthorised absence was unfair because the full context of the absence was not taken into consideration by the Trust. The EAT held it was unreasonable for the Trust to expect Mr A to return to work before trying to resolve the outstanding issues and improve working relationships. The EAT agreed that insisting Mr A return to a workplace where people's lives could depend on good working relationships was particularly unreasonable. The EAT noted that the Trust's witnesses were found to be 'disingenuous' when giving evidence.
Employers should recognise the importance of acting on recommendations to improve working relationships and should carefully consider whether it's reasonable to expect an employee to return to work before any changes have been made.
