A young team, a left-handed pitcher and a determined coach add a diamond to OU Athletics' crown.
The morning of June 7, the Oklahoma softball team was riding its school-record 31-game winning streak and was one victory away from claiming its third NCAA championship this millennium under coach Patty Gasso.
With the Sooners just 21 outs away from the crown, pitcher Paige Parker understandably was running on fumes, having thrown 958 postseason pitches to that point. Fresh off OU's 3-2 opening victory over Auburn in the best-of-3 championship series the night before, Gasso had a chat with her First Team All-American left-hander, her team and her staff.
True freshman Shay Knighten got Oklahoma off to a positive start in its 2016 Women's College World Series opener, blasting a three-run home run in the bottom of the eighth inning to give the Sooners a thrilling 3-0 walk-off victory over Alabama.
After a 7-11 loss to Auburn, a replenished Parker said her tank was at 90 percent for the title tilt. "Paige said, 'If I can get to 90 percent, I can beat anybody,' " Gasso reported.
And Parker did just that, posting a 2-1 victory over Auburn in the championship game on June 8 at the ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City.
Parker's exhaustion could not prevent the Sooners from getting fitted for their third championship ring. Nor could back-to-back losses that began their season, nor could an 8-4 overall start, nor could having a roster overwhelmed with eight freshmen.
Oklahoma coach Patty Gasso, shown here with freshman star Shay Knighten, helped guide the Sooners to a two games to one championship series win over Auburn to claim their third national title. OU has reached the postseason in each of the last 23 seasons, including all 22 under Coach Gasso.

Redemption And Connection: Lara Downes Talks With Davóne Tines
By Lara Downes
Davóne Tines' instagram handle is @alsoanoperasinger. It's apt because he is many things: scholar, composer, writer, producer, entrepreneur, activist. He's also one of the most fascinating opera singers of his generation. His taste runs towards uncharted territory; he creates new roles with an expressive intensity of voice and body to reveal the complex humanity of each character he inhabits.
I met Davóne last February, just before the world shut down. I'd been on the road for weeks with a lingering cold, pulling into Boston on the last slow train out of Penn Station late on a bitter winter night. In the morning, I dragged myself to rehearsal, bedraggled as a stray cat. It was a hectic schedule — new music to rehearse, staging and light cues, a complicated show — so it wasn't until our lunch break that Davóne and I really had a chance to say hello.
It took about five minutes for us to become friends — for many reasons. We're both adventurous artists who make strange, beautiful things. We're highly disciplined breakers of rules. We both have 100 ideas every 10 minutes, and we act on 97 of them. We're opinionated and outspoken. We both care quite a lot about clothes.
But what cemented our friendship was a song. I had with me the sheet music of a newly-discovered song called "When The Dove Enters In," composed by Margaret Bonds to a text by Langston Hughes. Close friends and collaborators, their creative connection was powerful; Bond's music revealed new harmonies and rhythms in Hughes' poems. This song is about the strength of human connection — about redemption and salvation. I showed it to Davóne and we read through it together, finding immediate and true friendship in its notes and words.
We've been working on this song for a while now, through all the changes this year has brought, and we were inspired to make a music video in collaboration with the visual artist Leila Victorin.
This is a conversation about revealing and embracing the fullness of our humanity, in our music, in our intentions and actions. You find us at the end of a long, hard year, looking back with all the longing that comes with isolation, grateful for a song we read together before the world shut down, and mindful of its meaning.

Just a few short years ago Nevada was an economic miracle. Thousands of people were moving to the Silver State from all across the country. Real estate values were skyrocketing. The unemployment rate was among the lowest in the nation. The casinos and hotels were jammed with tourists eager to spend money.
How times have changed. The miracle turned into a basket case after the Great Recession. At 7.9%, Nevada has the second highest unemployment rate among all the states (as of June 2014).
Bottom line: Nevada's population may be small, but the number of unemployed and underemployed is overwhelming. But take heart, Nevadans. At least you can now get a free cell phone and free monthly minutes from the government, thanks to the Lifeline phone service program.
Here's a list of all the Lifeline Assistance free government cell phones in Nevada. They all offer different plans with different numbers of minutes, different refill options, and serve different geographic areas. So click through them all and find the plan that's best for you.
Do you Qualify for a Free or Discounted Lifeline Cell Phone in Nevada?
Man, we hate it when we get assaulted by those criminal terrorist demons.
Here's your problem, Vickie. If your phone became inoperable in February 2019 you are probably out of luck. The rules of the Lifeline program require that an account be cancelled when a phone goes unused for 30 days or more. And it's been far longer than 30 days in your case.
We cannot understand why your service provider thinks you live in one state when you originally enrolled and still live in another state. But that's really immaterial, because we do not think it's possible to retrieve your information at this point.
The other day it said my sim card is not shown. I tried every possible fix. I need to know the service provider for the line. The rep said they run on Tmobile towers can anyone help please???/?
This is one of the problems with signing up for a free government cell phone at a street event. No one ever remembers who the company is, then they leave comments here asking for help. GET PAPERWORK, PEOPLE.
There's no way for us to help you. If your phone worked, you could call 6-1-1 and your service provider's customer service team would answer.
Where do you go to apply for a free government phone?
You don't need to go anywhere, Rikki. Apply right at home by phone or online.
This sham of a program needs to end and I have written to my Congressman asking him to do so. Why should I have to pay for a "smart phone" when someone else is either unwilling or unable to buy their own? I don't have a smart phone. This whole concept is not legitimate and needs to be terminated and terminated fast!
you mean it actually comes out of your bank? Or do you receive an itemized bill that the rest of us don't see? And let's say that you are right but you're not and we were to divide the cost by how many million Americans live in the United States how much does that come out to exactly, please share ? oh great giver who also then pays for prisoners incarcerated, you should probably be mad or about that and find something better to do.
Contact your service provider's customer service team, Bonita.
I live in Las Vegas NV and I'm trying to find a local phone sells vendor somewhere to optain a government phone to help me with employment, I live near MLK and Owens zip 89106 can you help me..
We strongly urge our readers NOT to enroll at street events because they have been the scenes of too much fraud and abuse. Do yourself a favor, Charles, and enroll online or by phone.
Try asking a friend or neighbor if you can use their phone to enroll.
It's quite possible that you are the victim of identity fraud, Angela. It happens all the time. Lifeline companies like the one you attempted to enroll with are supposed to be able to check the National Lifeline Assistance Database (NLAD) to see if you are enrolled and to help clear up any fraudulent accounts and errors. You should call in again and ask to speak to a supervisor. If that supervisor is unable to help you, ask how to make corrections on the NLAD so you will be eligible.
My government phone is through Q link 775 250 ****. It is no longer working. I can not get ahold of anyone live. It has been over a week since i have emailed then. All i need to know is if i have another phone can i switch minutes to that phone? Q libk phone i have is a verizon and i have another verizon phone.
Only Q Link can answer that question for you, Jill.
I have been trying to reach QLink also to get set up with the government phone program. I previously had Budget (who sold over to Boomerang and Boomerang would not work with me in replacing a defective phone so I had to have my service with them shut off). QLink asked for verification that I qualify so I sent documentation that I get medicaid and SNAP. Now they want proof of income even though that information was included on the documentation I sent them detailing my qualifications for SNAP and Medicaid. The documentation shows that I have no income. I've sent QLink e-mails and tried to call to inform them of this. The emails go unanswered and the phone calls only route me around and around a recorded system.. They have no live customer support whatsoever that I or anyone else I have spoken to have found. I went to TAG mobile – GREAT customer service but their coverage in my area ended up being too weak so I had to cancel that service as well. My advice to everyone – drop QLink. They obviously have no concern about their customers or potential customers. Nobody should have to tolerate treatment like that. If TAG has good coverage in your area, I recommend them – GREAT customer service and approval for me came within a matter of hours unlike QLink who has now taken over a month and they're still screwing around with my application.
Problem when the Qlink Wireless not recognizing my physical address in rural NV on a reservation (and a tribal member) and I qualify for a government cell as I'm on SNAP. Qlink's phone number doesn't give an option to address this, you can never speak to a human and the application online keeps bumping my application out. So frustrating! I've filed a complaint with the FCC and lifeline today. If it's not resolved I'll contact my Congress and Senate representatives. We've had street addresses for about 5 or 6 years. My last government cell phone was a refurbished iPhone, which I didn't know until I got it home and paid $100 for it plus $50 deposit for wifi service. The phone wouldn't charge after awhile and I've bought 3 batteries trying to resolve this. Now Choice Wireless in Fallon NV won't or can't give me my $50 deposit which I've never used much less a refund on the phone. Another Choice mobile online offers a new smartphone if you complete the required credit applications which now has shown on my credit report after starting one. I'm on disability so my chances of getting credit is low while my credit score goes down attempting to go through the "application steps". A scam but I have no choice than to apply for a government cell phone. Borrowing a phone from my daughter. What else can be done??
as Roxanne Ellingson stated in her post – she can not reach a live person to talk to so there is no way to ask for a supervisor as you suggest. I have run in to the same problem. Hers is not a unique incident.
There's absolutely no way to know, Georgia. The people who work at the street tents and booths are generally independent contractors, which means that even the Lifeline Assistance companies don't know where and when they'll be set up.
I am a disabled veteran, 50%. Do I qualify for a free cell phone in Nevada?
Unfortunately, Robert, neither your disability nor your status as a veteran qualifies you for a free government cell phone. It's a shame because we think either of those things should qualify you, but we don't make the rules.
I live in Reno my income is disability can no longer afford cell phone pls tell me where sign up for low cost cell phone! Greatly appreciate!
You're on the right page, John. This is where you'll find a complete list of companies offering free government cell phones in Nevada. Now as to where to sign up, we strongly recommend that you enroll online or by phone. DO NOT enroll at a tent or booth set up along the street. There has just been too much fraud and abuse of the system coming from tents and booth operators.
My daughter is homeless in Reno, Nevada……can you tell me where the locations are in Reno so she can get a phone?
You or your daughter can find a complete list of free government cell phone companies by clicking on the "States" link at the top of this page. Then scroll down and click on Nevada. Click through all the companies to find the plan that's best for your daughter.
I NEED A ""LOW COST CELL PHONE WITH INTERNET SERVICES IN NAVADA 89014. """""""""""""""""""""""""""PLEASE HELP ME""""""""""""""""""""""I NEED YOUR LOCATION TO APPLY ——————-I DON"T HAVE A HONE PHONE OR CELL PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Visit our other website, CheapInternet.com, to find out about all the low-income internet plans now available.
I understand that you offer your program in Carson City, Nevada. Will you be having representatives in the neighboring towns of Sparks & Reno, Nevada?
We have no idea which free government cell phone company you want to communicate with, Shanna, but we're not it. We're an independent website. You must contact the individual cell phone provider to ask your question.
My granddaughter just turned 18 lives in Las Vegas her dad is in and out jail and we dont know where the mother is not in the picture. She is living with the exgirl friend of the father. She is a senior and doing very well in school. I cant afford to help her very much.
I lost my budget mobile life line phone went and got another one with a different company and number. Then I found my old phone and started using it they turned off the old number I wanted to keep not the new one what should I do?
Call the company they should be able to sort everything out with your phone's IMEI.
Is there a lifeline cell phone company in Nevada that offers unlimited text messaging and free minutes ?
i would like a new touch screen phone wiih free minutes, a galazy.

Drug overdoses are sometimes caused intentionally to commit suicide or as self-harm, but many drug overdoses are accidental, the result of intentional or unintentional misuse of medication. Intentional misuse leading to overdose can include using prescribed or unprescribed drugs in excessive quantities in an attempt to produce euphoria.
The substance which has been taken may often be determined by asking the person. However, if they will not, or cannot, due to an altered level of consciousness, provide this information, a search of the home or questioning of friends and family may be helpful.
The distribution of naloxone to injection drug users and other opioid drug users decreases the risk of death from overdose. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that U.S. programs for drug users and their caregivers prescribing take-home doses of naloxone and training on its utilization are estimated to have prevented 10,000 opioid overdose deaths. Healthcare institution-based naloxone prescription programs have also helped reduce rates of opioid overdose in the U.S. state of North Carolina, and have been replicated in the U.S. military. Nevertheless, scale-up of healthcare-based opioid overdose interventions is limited by providers' insufficient knowledge and negative attitudes towards prescribing take-home naloxone to prevent opioid overdose. Programs training police and fire personnel in opioid overdose response using naloxone have also shown promise in the US.

Most importantly, you eat the flesh of the fruit not the skin (rind)!
Selecting your Fresh Pitaya Fruit: First, when you select your fresh pitahaya fruit, you want to pick pataya carefully to find ones that are already ripe. Pick pitahaya which are not hard to the touch. Think as you would when the selecting the more common avaocado. Avoid fresh dragon fruit that is hard, as it was likely picked early. Commercial growers will often pick dragon fruit early to let it better withstand shipping. Likely the pitahaya fruit picked this way will not have developed a good flavor or proper texture.
Cold vs. Room Temperature Fruit: If you ask them how to eat pitaya fruit, or dragon fruit how to eat it best, many people like to eat pitahaya fruit cold, but you may find you prefer to eat pitahaya fruit at room temperature. Try it both ways and decide for yourself how to eat pitaya - warm or cold. If you do want to eat dragon fruit as the chilled fruit, it is better to chill the whole fruit before you cut it open to keep the fruit more fresh.
Making a 'sweet and sour' dragon fruit: If you want to try giving your fresh dragon fruit a little bit of a zing of sour to offset the sweet flavor of the fresh pitaya, try squeezing a little bit of lemon on the pitahaya fruit flesh as you eat it (some prefer lime for the same effect). This is a nice way how to eat dragon fruit fresh.
How to Prepare Fresh Pitaya Fruit to Eat: Like a papaya fruit, dragon fruit when properly ripe is quite soft, so you can eat it as you would a papaya by just cutting the fruit in half and spooning out the flesh. Unlike with the papaya, with pitahaya fruit you have no messy entrails to remove before eating the fresh pitaya fruit. The answer about how to eat dragon fruit with all the seeds is that the pitaya fruit seeds are completely edible, and you should not try to remove them before you eat the pitahaya flesh.
Take Advantage of Pitaya's Stunning Presentation: When you serve your fresh dragon fruit, particularly the pink or red flesh pitaya variety, present it to take advantage of the dramatic color of the fruit rind and the fruit flesh. Slice it up in slivers, cube it, leave it in the rind, present the sliced flesh along with some of the fresh fruits halved or whole. The colors are so impressive, that sometimes fresh pitaya fruit is used simply as a decorative garnish, in fact!
Mix Mix Mix: Rather than eating the dried pitaya fruit alone, try mixing in with other meals. Add it as a garnish to any salads. Use it on the trail with other dried fruits and nuts as trail-mix for hiking, cycling or back-packing trips. Not everyone enjoys chowing down on the dried pitahaya fruit all by itself, so mix it up.


SWBAT understand that some decimal numbers terminate and some eventually repeat.
There are patterns in the division from which students can predict the type of decimal that will result.
This lesson follows an exploration of division (intervention lesson division remediation) in which students began to notice that decimals can terminate in a number of different place value positions and that others repeat. This lesson provides more division practice and basic fraction sense while at the same time helps them notice patterns in the division that gives rise to the decimals. Students are given a variety of fractions and are asked to find a way to organize them both before and after converting them to decimals. This activity forces students to really look more closely at the numbers than they otherwise would have and start to notice patterns. Some students will want to order them from least to greatest. While this does not really allow patterns to arise I did let them do it, because of it helps them develop their fraction and decimal sense. They will be looking at patterns on other posters in later lessons (day 3 & 4).
ELL students really benefit from group work as long as their are other students in their group that they can interact with in both English and their primary language. Grouping the fraction cards gives them another way to communicate their math understanding as well.
Students work with their math family groups of 3-4 and are given a set of fraction cards Fraction to decimal sorting cards.docx. Students are asked to organize the fractions in groups in any way that make sense to them. I really want them to notice similarities and differences in the fractions so they look at the decimals in the same way after they convert the fractions. It is important to give them just enough time to really look at the fractions, discuss options in their group, make a decision, and arrange the fractions. If not enough time is given they will not do as thoughtful a job on the decimals, if too much time is given they will not have as much time to be thoughtful with the decimals. As I circulate I remind them that they are looking for ways to group them and ask them what they are thinking. Some students may want to put them in order from least to greatest, but the patterns will not emerge if they do this with the fractions and I tell them to look for a way to put them in separate groups.
I ask each group to share their organizational method with the class. Some methods are by denominator, odd or even denominator, bigger or smaller than one, dividing odd by even, etc. After each group shares I ask if anyone organized theirs in the same way and then ask for a new method. Then I tell them that the next step is to find a way to organize them by their decimal value. If I don't allow them to first focus on the fraction sort I think they might not look as closely at the decimals. I really want them to examine both and not just one or the other.
When I introduce this section I tell them we are going to look at the decimal equivalents for each fraction and do the same thing. There are 15 fractions for which they need to do the division. I remind them that they can divvy up the fractions between their group members, but to be sure to double check each other's work because they will be making posters to present their work. I also remind them that they need to do their work neatly so their math family can check it more easily and help them find mistakes. They also need to keep the decimals recorded with their fractions because they need to be together on their final posters. While groups are doing the division I expect students to ask each other for help for questions like "did I do this right?", "how do I write the repeating decimal?", etc. If they ask me I always first turn the question back to the group to encourage them to share their ideas and also to develop comfort with "not knowing".
While I circulate I am doing two things. I am helping students with their division difficulties. Some are more mechanical and I have them work on the grid paper to keep the place values lined up. The primary problem is still doing the division backwards and not checking the answer for reasonableness. This is something that we worked on in the previous lesson (Intervention lesson division remediation) so I turn the question to the group. "Is the fraction more or less than one?", "so we expect the decimal to be..?", "Is the division turning out the way we expected so far?", "should we keep going or try another way?" Students who have more difficulty with fraction sense may need a visual reminder with fraction circles or with a diagram. When students do make this mistake they might notice the yuckiness that is dividing by 7 if the do 7/8ths backwards. When this happens I will point out that "this group here just accidently discovered that something yucky happens when you divide by 7". Not only does this help normalize the mistakes it gets the class focused on patterns when dividing by certain numbers like "I am noticing that when we divide by 3 we get a repeating decimal", etc.
As students are finishing up the division I get their attention and tell them that they can begin looking for a new way to organize the decimal numbers and start planning their posters. I tell them they need to have their names on everything and it will be collected together and returned to them tomorrow.

"At heart, I would have to say I'm a pantser. I fully embrace the chaos of letting the unintended happen, on life and on the page." ~ Margaret Stohl
Have you come across these terms before my writing proteges? You have never heard these terms before? Allow me to increase your knowledge.
When writing a fiction story for your eBook there are two kinds of writers, a plotter and a pantser.
The writer who is a plotter is someone who plans out their novel every step of the way before they write it. The pantser writer, on the other hand, which this writer has declared himself as, is someone who flies by the seat of their pants, meaning they don't plan out anything, or they plan very little of it and let their characters tell the story.
PLOTTER:
The plotter will follow the rules they learned in high school and create an outline for their story before they even begin writing it. Plotters will create all of their characters and develop personality profiles for them.
Plotters will then create a more in-depth outline with a plot, and character interactions as they decide how their story begins, the inciting incident, plot points, and how it will end.
After they have finished writing a detailed outline all that is left for them to do is to fill in the gaps with their creativity and write their story. There is no WRITER'S BLOCK for them to deal with, they just write the story they have already plotted out meticulously.
Like a coloring book, the image is already drawn out before them. All they have to do is fill it in with the colors they choose. When they have finished writing, they will have less editing to do because by following their map, the story will flow smoothly.
The plotter creates a defined image to be filled in with crayons at a time of their choosing with little room for changes. The pantser starts with a blank canvas, and the only image or limitations that exist for them are in their own mind.
PANTSER:
Pantsers don't plot their story from beginning to end. They create characters and let them take on a life of their own. The Pantser starts with an idea for a story and then imagines characters for their story. Once these characters have been created in the writer's mind, the author allows his characters to do their thing, and all the pantser needs to do is write about it.
Writer's block is one drawback of being a pantser. By writing your story based on the ideas flowing into your head emanating from the minds of the characters, it is easy to have a disruption in the flow of your creativity. This is known as writer's block.
Editing after the pantser is finished writing is also more difficult. Writing by the seat of your pants creates a less structured story, leaving more room for errors.
George R. R. Martin is an American novelist and short-story writer. George had a slightly different, although more eloquent way of describing the two different types of writers.
"I think there are two types of writers, the architects, and the gardeners. The architects plan everything ahead of time, like an architect building a house. They know how many rooms are going to be in the house, what kind of roof they're going to have, where the wires are going to run, what kind of plumbing there's going to be.
They have the whole thing designed and blueprinted out before they even nail the first board up. The gardeners dig a hole, drop in a seed, and water it. They kind of know what seed it is, they know if they planted a fantasy seed or mystery seed or whatever.
But as the plant comes up and they water it, they don't know how many branches it's going to have, they find out as it grows. And I'm much more a gardener than an architect." ~George R. R. Martin
I prefer to be a gardener when I write my fictional stories. I plant a seed, let it grow, and then show my readers through my creativity what has grown in my garden. This method of writing is much better as a fiction writer, in my opinion.
If the architect wants to modify his fictional story after they have already drawn the blueprints, and writing has already begun he must completely change his outline to keep his story flowing smoothly. This would be an enormous waste of time, something a gardener would never be troubled with.
Outlining works great when writing non-fiction and declaring factual information, where the structure is important, but writing by the seat of your pants is better for non-fiction, in my opinion.

Huron and area search and rescue team request use of municipal building
Ethel Nester December 31, 2021	Building use Comments Off on Huron and area search and rescue team request use of municipal building 1 Views
Stony Point Development Group Demonstrates Sustainability Leadership With LEED® Silver Certification
NORTH HURON – The Huron and Area Search and Rescue (HASAR) asked North Huron Council if they could use one of the vacant municipal buildings in Blyth as a home base for their equipment, vehicles and training because they have outgrown their current locations.
The organization is currently leasing space in Huron East, HASAR commander and co-founder Patrick Armstrong said in a letter to the board.
The letter stated that the current arrangement with the Municipality of Huron East, which costs them $ 100 per month, is in three different locations: an outdoor complex with limited access to a garage, as well as office space. HASAR hopes to centralize everything in one indoor location.
"While we are grateful and very grateful for this deal, HASAR has outgrown the original deal and requires indoor storage for its vehicles, as well as all of its assets in one place," the letter reads.
The group proposes to work with the Township of North Huron to use either the old Blyth public works building or the "retired fire station building" to store HASAR vehicles, provide training and have an office. .
"We would make sure the facility was both clean and secure and would work within the community to maintain the positive relationship we've always had," said Armstrong.
The letter mentioned that North Huron Deputy Fire Chief Chad Kregar supported the request and provided for the fire department to conduct training with HASAR.
HASAR is a registered non-profit organization established in 2018.
They provide professional and civilian search and rescue services on land and at sea and operate under the aegis of the Ontario Search and Rescue Volunteer Association and the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary.
The letter says that since 2018, the group has been called four times to assist police with a search.
North Huron Clerk Carson Lamb said council should not make any decisions on the matter and this letter should be forwarded to Director of Public Works Jamie McCarthy for inclusion in a follow-up report on the old property of Blyth Public Works, which she is currently working on.
The request will be considered, along with any potential buyers interested in the purchase, when McCarthy submits the report.

The Girl Who Had Wings
By Dorothy Massey
Text size: A- A A+
Once there was a girl who had wings. She didn't know she had wings, but they were there all the same. Folded and tucked into the place between the girl's shoulder blades, the wings lay hidden for seven long years. Then, in the middle of a beautiful daydream, out they sprang. Tearing through the girl's thin cotton dress, her magnificent wings struggled for freedom.
People came from far and wide. "Look!" They said. "What beautiful wings." The girl was proud. She fluttered her wings to show them just how splendid they were, how they shone like rainbows in the sun.
"Can you fly?" The girl was asked this question many times. And every time the girl gave the same reply.
"I don't know," she would say. "I've never tried."
People shook their heads sadly and went on their way.
One day a young boy came to see the girl's wings.
"They're beautiful," agreed the boy readily.
"Wait till you see them in the sun," said the girl. She fluttered her wings to show the boy how they shone like rainbows in the sun. But before the sunlight could catch her wings, a large rain cloud appeared and blocked out the light. A drop of rain fell on the girl's face. She folded away her wings quickly. She didn't want them to get wet.
"Oh!" said the boy.
There was sadness in the boy's voice, disappointment on his face. The girl noticed both.
"Let's wait," she said. "Perhaps the rain will go away soon."
The girl took the boy's hand. They ran into her house. The girl's mother gave them both cupcakes and lemonade.
The girl gulped down her cake, but the boy just nibbled at his as he looked out of the window.
"He's waiting for the rain to stop," said the girl. "So I can show him my wings in the sun."
The girl's mother smiled. She looked outside. "It may be some time," she said. "That's quite a downpour!"
So the boy and the girl sat at the table. They drank more lemonade and ate more cakes. The boy asked the girl questions about her wings.
"Have you always had them?" he asked.
"I think so," said the girl. "Only they were hidden away."
"How did you find them?"
The girl laughed. "I didn't find them. They found me."
The boy frowned.
"I was daydreaming …"
"You are always daydreaming," said her mother.
"Me too," said the boy. He looked into the girl's face. "What happened?"
"I was daydreaming. It was a lovely daydream. I can't remember what, but I do remember it was a particularly beautiful daydream, full of lovely colours."
"What happened?" asked the boy.
"Suddenly the wings sprung out from my shoulders, right through my dress."
"You should have seen the fuss," said her mother, "and the commotion."
"Are they heavy?" asked the boy.
The girl pointed at the space between her shoulder blades. "They tuck away into here."
The rain continued and so did the questions.
"Have you ever torn them?"
"Does anyone else have them?"
"Do they grow when you grow?"
"Maybe … I'm not sure."
"Do you ever wish you didn't have wings?"
This question took the girl by surprise. "Of course not! Why should I?"
The girl waited for the boy to ask that one question everyone always asked, but the question never came. She listened to the rain against the window. The girl was getting tired.
"Maybe you should come back another day?" she suggested.
"He can't leave in that," said her mother. "He'll get soaked to the skin."
The girl licked the icing from the top of a cupcake.
"Don't you want to know if I can fly?" she teased.
"You can't," replied the boy.
The girl dropped her cake. "How do you know?" she demanded.
The boy stood up. He eased his jacket from his shoulders. Out sprang a pair of wings. The girl gasped.
"You have wings too! Why didn't you tell me?"
"You didn't ask," said the boy.
"So … you can fly?"
"I could," said the boy.
"I could fly," said the boy, sadly. "But I can't fly now."
"What happened?" asked the girl.
"It's rude to ask questions," said her mother.
"But …" The girl was about to remind her mother of all the questions the boy had asked her, but her mother shook her head.
"I don't know," said the boy. "I was hoping you might be able to help. If you had been able to fly … "
The girl glared at him. She had tried so many times, so many secret attempts, but … She was about to protest, when her mother placed a warning hand on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry," said the girl. She shrugged. "Would you like another cupcake?"
The rain stopped.
"I'd better go," said the boy.
"Don't you want to see my wings in the sun?" asked the girl.
The last thing the boy wanted was to see the girl's wings again, to be reminded of his own now useless wings, but the girl was so keen, so proud. He remembered how proud he'd been of his own splendid wings before …
"Yes," he said. "Yes. Of course."
The girl unfurled her wings. The sunlight bounced from them making shimmers like the surface of a lake. From every shimmer sprang a rainbow.
The boy put out a hand to touch one of her beautiful wings. The girl jumped back.
"Don't touch!" she said.
The boy nodded. The girl saw the sadness in his eyes. And the boy saw the sadness in hers.
"What was it like?" she asked, "… to fly?"
The boy looked up into the sky. "Better than anything," he said. "Anything!"
"I've tried," said the girl. She lowered her head. "Many times."
"Me too," said the boy.
The tips of the girl's wings began to flutter, slowly at first, then faster and faster. Inch by inch the fluttering travelled down the girl's wings until they fluttered from top to bottom.
The boy grabbed her hand. "Try," he said. "Try now."
"To fly?"
"I can't," said the girl. "I've tried before."
"When you tried before," said the boy, "did your wings flutter like they are fluttering now?"
"I think," said the boy. "I think if you try now, right now."
"But I don't know how," said the girl.
"I do!" The boy jumped up and down on the spot. Then he stood still. He closed his eyes and smiled. The tips of his wings began to flutter. The rest of his wings began to flutter and … up he went. He flew in a circle around the girl's head; then swooped into the sky.
The girl jumped up and down too. Her wings fluttered and fluttered, then stopped.
The boy flew down, landing neatly at her side.
"It didn't work. I jumped like you but it didn't work."
The boy laughed. "It wasn't the jumping that made me fly."
"It wasn't?"
"No," said the boy. "I was just jumping up and down because I remembered."
The girl was growing impatient. "Remembered what?"
"Remembered what I was doing when I used to fly. I did it again, and it worked."
"You shut your eyes and smiled," said the girl.
So the girl shut her eyes and smiled, just as the boy had done. Nothing happened. Not even a tiny flutter in the tip of her wings.
"It still hasn't worked. It's no good. I'll never be able to fly. I closed my eyes like you, I smiled like you …"
"But did you think like me?"
"Think like you! How on earth could I think like you? I don't know what you were thinking. I can't …"
The boy took her hand.
"Do you remember when your wings first appeared?"
"Yes," said the girl. "I told you about it."
"I don't know," said the girl.
"Yes you do," the boy urged. "You told me, you were in the middle …"
" … the middle of a beautiful daydream."
The boy squeezed the girl's hand. "Yes! But you couldn't remember what you were daydreaming about."
"That's right," said the girl.
"Daydream," ordered the boy.
"Daydream?"
"Yes, now. That's what I did."
The girl closed her eyes. The daydream was slow to appear. When it did arrive, it came in tiny bursts. The girl imagined eating mother's cupcakes, drinking her cool lemonade. She imagined her wings shining in the sun, forming rainbows. She imagined people admiring her beautiful wings. Then she imagined eagles and angels, butterflies and hummingbirds, dragons and damselflies, a thousand winged creatures thronging through the sky. Finally she imagined herself in the middle of these winged creatures, flying through her beautiful daydream. And, then, in the middle of this beautiful daydream, the girl with wings could finally fly.

Acid Test (feature) Finishing Funds!
Project by Jenny Waldo
Jenny Waldo
Houston, Texas • Film Feature • Drama, Teen
Set in 1992, Acid Test follows a teenager's rebellion inspired by aggressively feminist Riot Grrrl music, a volatile family dynamic, and her experimentation with mind-altering LSD as she turns 18 and questions her path, her identity, and what it means to be an adult.
by Jenny Waldo
This campaign raised $7,550 for post-production. Follow the filmmaker to receive future updates on this project.

As a female writer/director over 40, I'm committed to diversity both in story content and crew. With a female lead of Mexican descent, many diverse central characters, and over 70% women and/or people of color behind the camera including key roles like DP and AD, we are walking the walk.
Set in 1992, Acid Test follows a teenage girl's rebellion inspired by Riot Grrrl music, dysfunctional family, and LSD as she turns 18 and faces adulthood.
Principal photography finished in June and we entering the final stages of post-production! We need $7,500 in finishing funds to hire a sound designer, a visual effects artist, and color grader.
Based on true events (or my memories of being a rebellious teenager) this is a highly personal story that I'm excited to share as my feature film directing debut! As a teenager in the 90s, I vividly remember the mind-blowing experience of watching Bikini Kill on stage and the Riot Grrrl revolution; a movement that was aggressive, unapologetic, energetic, punk, and feminist. Now called 4th-wave feminism, the music inspired me to speak my truth, claim my power, fight for equality, and pursue my dreams.
Over twenty-five years later, many of the things the Riot Grrrls were fighting for are still, unfortunately, relevant. The movement itself was fraught with its own issues, similar to mainstream feminism, and the political landscape since 2016 seems to be both radically different than 1992 yet also wildly similar. Bill Clinton's first presidential campaign serves as a backdrop to Jenny's coming-of-age story and reinforces the political themes of the movie.
Look ma! I kept my old shirt and used it in a movie!
Other themes include writing and memory, inspiring a kaleidoscopic approach to our visual aesthetic: layered images, jump cuts, visual and audio overload. Fragmented storytelling contrasted by contemplative moments of silence and continuity. We represented the beauty and fear of this pivotal moment in one's youth with in-camera practical effects during production that we plan to enhance in post using digital effects. For our soundtrack, we've already licensed songs from contemporary (and local!) punk bands who also performed for our concert scenes during production. In addition, a layered and sophisticated sound design will elevate these artistic visuals.
In every way, Acid Test is an revolutionary film, in concept and approach. We raised our production funds through our fiscal sponsors From the Heart Productions and the Houston-based non-profit Fresh Arts. This is an unusual fundraising approach for scripted features, more commonly seen in documentaries, but because of our artistic, political, and educational goals, it was the perfect fit instead of traditional investors for a film like Acid Test.
With a female lead of Mexican descent, our story showcases much-needed diversity on screen as part of a need in the film industry and film market for more diverse content. We are also showcasing that diversity behind the camera: as a female writer director, it is vital to me to be part of the changes needed in my industry in hiring women and people of color in crew positions. We are so proud to have over 70% of our cast and crew being from these marginalized communities, we had several key positions held by women including our Director of Photography Kerianne Parker, Assistant Director Anna Tran, Line Producer Hillary Felice, Wardrobe and Locations Courtney Sandifer, Script Supervisor Kristin Massa, Makeup & Hair Amore Monet, and we had a number of women in the camera, grip, and electric departments. We are committed to maintaining this 70% standard as we finish post-production.
Our cast and crew were entirely from Texas, and we also partnered with Houston Community College (HCC) to train 20 students on our set to gain valuable professional experience while also earning credits toward their degrees. We continue to offer internships to students interested in post-production.
We are approaching our Seed&Spark crowdfunding campaign with that same revolutionary spirit. In addition to traditional mail-in perks like posters and links to the film, we are hosting an amazing event where people can partake in the Acid Test Experience for themselves!! The night begins with a VIP dinner with Jenny's family followed by a concert featuring local Houston bands, and a multi-room exploration of the world of Acid Test and the characters within! It's gonna be a trip! **must be 21+ to attend.
Remember, for those of you not able to attend, we also have an amazing set of perks to partake in with all kinds of merch to show your support for Acid Test and everything we're doing!
Remember, the #1 easiest (and FREE) way to help us is the SHARE the campaign on social media and IRL and encourage people to contribue.
For anyone who would like to receive a TAX-DEDUCTION for their donation, please email me directly or click on the links to our fiscal sponsor From the Heart Productions or if you're a Houston local, you can donate to our Fresh Arts project!
Please join me in the revolution of #ActivistFilmmaking by contributing to Acid Test! You are helping to change the way we make movies and the movies we make!
Finally, you can watch the short that started it all! Our feature is adapted from our award-winning short film that you can WATCH on Seed&Spark here!
Many of our cast and crew for the feature were part of the short, including our former-1st-AD-now-Producer Eddie Rodriguez, who in between the short and feature produced the Houston-based indie feature Rich Kids written and directed by Laura Somers who had connected with me for contacts when we were both crowdfunding on Seed&Spark!
We had an great run with the short film screening at wonderful festivals like Austin Film Festival, BendFilm in Oregon, Snowdance in Germany, Victoria TX Independent Film Festival, Houston Latino Film Festival, Literally Short Film Festival, and being selected for both the Women in Film and Television International Short Film Showcase and the Austin Film Society Shortcase!
It's really incredible to be finishing up our journey with this story with Seed&Spark, our partners in our very first crowdfunding campaign for the short film 4 years ago!
Thank you so much for your support, whether you've been following us since the beginning or are new to the rebellion!

A movie about hallucinating & featuring Riot Grrrl music needs a layered and creative sound design!
The hallucination scenes on the short were awesome & we're looking forward to get trippy again!
Each shot needs its color, exposure etc tweaked to match with an overall "look" to polish the film.
Everyone always says they have the best crew, and there's something about working crazy hours on a crazy idea that truly bonds people together. But...I have to say I had the BEST of the best! We got through a 21-day shoot in the middle of summer (in Texas!) and still want to hang out together and make movies together.
We are also so proud to showcase an entirely local crew from Texas, almost everyone based in Houston and 70% women and/or people of color. See below for links to some projects!

Someone else who came on board as a Producer once production wrapped is our amazing Cinematographer Kerianne Parker - who had originally worked on the short film as our 1st AC and was now shooting her first feature alongside Jenny's directorial debut!
Reprising her role as "Jenny" from the short film, Juliana DeStefano (center) acted along side Reece Everett Ryan (left) who played the wayward boyfriend "Owen" and Mai Le (right) who played best friend "Drea."
Also returning from the short, Mia Ruiz who plays Jenny's mother "Camelia" and joining our cast as Jenny's father "Jack" was the wonderful Brian Thornton!
We had so many Houston actors join our cast, it was wonderful to showcase (from Top Left) Sara Gaston, Joe Grisaffi, Alexandra Brents, Julitta Pourciau, Lucas Matteson, and Dave McClain, among many others!
Watch the short that started it all: Acid Test is streaming here on Seed&Spark!
Producer Eddie Rodriguez's Rich Kids is available on Amazon and dropping Netflix later this month!

Matthew Perry and Courteney Cox in it?
Kylie Minogue looked absolutely stunning walking hand-in-hand with Leos Carax for Claire Denis' new film, Les Salauds (The Bastards), premiere in Cannes, France on May 21st, 2013.
Recently, Kylie Minogue has been working on her new album in USA, which is due to be released some time this year. She also attended a couple of events and awards in NYC before coming back to London.
Angelina Jolie After Double Mastectomy Procedure: "I hope that other women can benefit from my experience"
Angelina Jolie revealed she has had a double mastectomy to reduce "an 87 percent risk of breast cancer".
She opened up about her cancer fears writing in the New York Times.
"My mother fought cancer for almost a decade and died at 56", she shared, "... the truth is I carry a "faulty" gene, BRCA1, which sharply increases my risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer... Once I knew that this was my reality, I decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much I could. I made a decision to have a preventive double mastectomy."
She added that her plans to reveal the news publicly was to help other women discover what options are available to them: "I am writing about it now because I hope that other women can benefit from my experience. Cancer is still a word that strikes fear into people's hearts, producing a deep sense of powerlessness. But today it is possible to find out through a blood test whether you are highly susceptible to breast and ovarian cancer, and then take action."
Jolie encourages women under risk around the world to not be afraid: "I wanted to write this to tell other women that the decision to have a mastectomy was not easy. But it is one I am very happy that I made. My chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from 87 percent to under 5 percent. I can tell my children that they don't need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer... It is reassuring that they see nothing that makes them uncomfortable. They can see my small scars and that's it. Everything else is just Mommy, the same as she always was... I do not feel any less of a woman. I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity."
The actress also talks about her partner, Brad Pitt's support during the process and how helpful it is to get through it faster: "I am fortunate to have a partner, Brad Pitt, who is so loving and supportive. So to anyone who has a wife or girlfriend going through this, know that you are a very important part of the transition. Brad was at the Pink Lotus Breast Center, where I was treated, for every minute of the surgeries. We managed to find moments to laugh together. We knew this was the right thing to do for our family and that it would bring us closer. And it has."
You can read the whole article in New York Times.
And as usual, the Goddess has had many things planned and busy social (mostly) nights during her Big Apple stay as well, appearing at THREE event in THREE days already!

Esports-Themed Restaurant Owner To Spend Whole Life Thinking It Went Under Because Of Covid
INDIANAPOLIS—Believing that the timing of his venture was the sole source of its failure, local esports-themed restaurant owner Dennis McLeish confirmed Thursday that he would spend the rest of his life thinking the business went under because of Covid-19. "Everything was totally going our way over the first few weeks, but then the pandemic hit, and boom—it just drained our business," said McLeish, who was reportedly under the impression that the poorly lit 5,000-square-foot restaurant in a low-traffic area whose main selling point was the presence of numerous screens that diners could play games on would have lasted more than a few weeks in any scenario. "All the tournaments were canceled because of the virus, and without the big crowds of people coming to watch, it was pretty much curtains for us. It hurts to think about since I sank my life savings into this dream, and it would've worked if not for the pandemic." At press time, the man had sold all his gaming consoles to pay lawyer fees.

Q: How to automate batch script for google app script I have multiple sheets and need to run scripts for more than 6 minutes. I have split the function such that each function call take less than 5 minutes.
I have come across the blog http://patt0.blogspot.in/2014/08/continuous-batch-library-update-for.html to get around the 5-6 minute timeout. But I read in the same blog that userproperties service is deprecated now. Is there any update or any other way to accomplish the objective?

A: Instead of userproperties,  use the Properties service now (the 'successor' of the depreciated userproperties and scriptproperties). It is even mentioned in the article you referred to. Documentation: here and: here

A: http://ramblings.mcpher.com/Home/excelquirks/parallel +Bruce McPherson is your man on that topic.
