Marooned on a desert island
To celebrate the 300th anniversary of the publication of Daniel Defoe's much-loved classic Robinson Crusoe published on the 25 April 1719, and to complement our Crusoe300 Flash Fiction Walkshop, we ran a Crusoe300 flash fiction competition.
We are delighted to announce the publication of Shipwrecked, a limited edition chapbook, published by Sampson Low Publishers.
Shipwrecked includes the winning stories from the competition judged by N G Bristow (screen writer, director and visual artist running the MA in Directing Fiction at Goldsmiths University of London), Rebekah Lattin-Rawstrone (author, editor and tutor on the Novel Studio at City, University of London) and Andrew Stuck (Founding Director of the Museum of Walking).
Defoe himself published hundreds of chapbooks, and these stories are all inspired by his most famous work, Robinson Crusoe in different ways; challenging colonial perceptions, questioning the veracity of narrative, playing with the idea of abandonment and escape.

We asked the winning authors to tell us what it was in Robinson Crusoe that inspired them to write their stories:
Moira Tighe – author of "Friday"
"The moment in Robinson Crusoe that inspired me was Robinson's discovery of the footprint, marking the end of his isolation. I was thinking about loneliness and how we choose to navigate it, the way that we shape our lives to avoid, encircle or try to live and breath inside it. I considered how we can live in close proximity to others, know all their ways and habits, yet never truly know them and how we are seemingly always drawn to connect even if we cannot clearly discern whether the other is friend or foe. I wrote a story in which one lonely person, living in unusual isolation, chooses to communicate with another, who is equally, though more conventionally, isolated."
Fiona Ritchie Walker – author of "New World"
"Robinson Crusoe's challenge of surviving far from home inspired me to think about what a modern day setting might be, and I chose to set my flash fiction in a foodbank as I volunteer at a local distribution centre."
Laurence Sullivan – author of "Establishing Connection"
"There are obviously a multitude of themes to choose from in Robinson Crusoe, but the one that interested me most here was the idea of man overcoming the initial threat the natural world can present. In the 21st century this doesn't seem like the same issue that it was in the 18th – for a start, there are so few places on Earth which are still genuinely uninhabited now. Our greater issue seems not to be achieving mastery over the natural world, but actually re-connecting with it and achieving a new equilibrium. By the end of Robinson Crusoe, the island has become a home for the eponymous protagonist – almost a luxurious one, and now people will pay small fortunes to seek out similar small islands in the hope of disconnecting from the modern world and finding temporary refuge in the natural one. I think that's why the story still fascinates us so much now, for many a modern reader the idea of being shipwrecked on a desert island is an escapist fantasy, rather than something to be feared. This is what my story is really about: that no matter the apparent draws of the hectic, modern world, there will always be a part of us that pines for a simpler, more natural way of living."
Sarah McPherson – author of "True Stories"
"I am fascinated by how stories can define us and become part of who we are and our family histories, and also the power of place (in this case the island) to make something you have only known as a story suddenly feel more real, as when you visit a site of historical significance. For this flash piece, I imagined how someone going through an experience like Robinson Crusoe's – being shipwrecked – might become a story told to younger generations of their family, to be exaggerated, believed or not believed, and the impact that visiting the island and being confronted with that reality might then have."
Mavis Pilbeam – author of "Survival"
"I read Robinson Crusoe from cover to cover in preparation for the Walkshop and was totally engrossed by Defoe's extraordinary imagination and quirkiness. This, combined with the Walkshop, suggested ways of writing which I might not have considered before, so I produced something which was not at all typical of me."
Jonathan Fox – author of "Court Report"
"What a brief! A book I've loved since I was a child. If there's any fictional character I can identify with it's Mr. Crusoe. A person who feels all alone on an Island? It's something we've all felt at one time or another. Well, I have at least. Long live R.C.!"
Nora Nadjarian – author of "The Return"
"I imagine the story of Robinson Crusoe to be a kind of metaphor for human loneliness. Desperate for companionship, he conjured up a romance which everyone believed, of a faraway island that he made his home. His true salvation was Friday, the one he loved and the one his thoughts turn to, even now. It is up to the reader to decide whether Friday really existed or not."
Elizabeth Forsyth – author of "Reaping"
"I was inspired by the contrast of capability and power. Often those who are in power aren't capable of what people without power have the ability to do, and resentment can grow between them."

The Many Faces of Entertainment – Press Release
Piers Morgan ranks second behind Lineker as most influential name in entertainment
New report reveals mindsets, brands and influencers that drive the UK entertainment and broadcasting industry.
London, 26/09/17: Gary Lineker and Piers Morgan have emerged as the most popular names within the entertainment industry, across influencers, brands, media and organisations, according to a new study by data consultancy Starcount. Following closely behind were Jeremy Clarkson and Simon Cowell, a pattern that shows that, despite attracting controversy in different ways, these celebrities remain extremely popular with the British
The top 10 names were:
1. Gary Lineker
2. Piers Morgan
3. Jeremy Clarkson
4. Simon Cowell
5. James Corden
6. James May
7. Sky Sports
8. Gary Neville
9. Andrew Flintoff
10. John Bishop
These top influencers are all male and the first female influencer to appear in the list is Katie Price in 19th place, whilst Sky Sports is the only brand to appear in the top 10.
The study was conducted across 8 and a half million UK customers, each of whom were segmented into 6 different "mindsets" that reflected their viewing habits:
1. Gamers
2. News Junkies
3. Primetime Petrolheads
4. Reality TV Lovers
5. Sport Fanatics
Those in the Gamers mindset are obsessed with gamified content, be it a mobile app or the latest big budget blockbuster game. The News Junkies compulsively consume current affairs and global goings-on through TV, print and social media. Primetime Petrolheads are 2 obsessed with any kind of TV comedy, but, most importantly, the type associated with automotive shows such as The Grand Tour. Reality TV Lovers devour Love Island, Keeping up with the Kardashians and everything in between, whilst Sports Fanatics won't miss a single game, match or race, whether that means watching live on TV or keeping up with match tweets online.
The report uncovered that, overall, men formed the majority in every mindset except Reality TV Lovers, where women dominated with 66%.
The report uncovered that, overall, men formed the majority in every mindset except Reality TV Lovers, where women dominated with 66%. However, the largest majorities fell to men in Gamers and Sports Fanatics, with 73% and 69% respectively, whilst women formed a large part of the Primetime Petrolheads, making up 43%.
News Junkies reached number one for fastest growing segment, a point that highlights the impact of the increasingly unstable global political climate.
Clive Humby, Chief Data Scientist at Starcount: "The rise of disruptors like Netflix and Amazon means that traditional screen behaviours are no longer relevant. Modern consumers are much more savvy and less brand loyal. They have higher expectations, are impatient with adverts and, aware of the value of their personal information, are wary of giving anything away for free. Add to that the expanding reach of competitors who are breaking down the usual barriers between TV, films, gaming and all other types of entertainment, and staying one step ahead has become a whole lot harder. Competitive advantage requires strong data insight and this can only be achieved by tapping into new and pioneering data sources that are able to not only relay what your customers want today, but also to predict what they will look for tomorrow."
Starcount will present the full results of this study at an event in London on 3rd October. The event will feature insights from a range of industry experts, including Sarah Clerkson, Head of Customer Intelligence at Sky; Sanjeevan Bala, Head of Data Science at Channel 4; Hilary Goldsmith, Senior Vice-President for Global Ad Operations at Unruly; and Alison Finnegan, Insight and Marketing Director at Immediate Media.
Additional insights in the report include:
Sports Fanatics formed the largest share of the overall audience with 48%, but were
only the third fastest growing segment, at 27%.
Pets and Animals was the fastest growing passion for Gamers, News Junkies and
Reality TV Lovers.
Influencers formed the bulk of star types, consisting of 90% of the overall study.
Sports stars such as Anthony Joshua, David Haye and Ian Wright were amongst the fastest growing stars for the overall study.
American Football and Athletics formed the fastest growing passions overall, showing the growth of both sports in the UK market.
Sports formed a large part of Gamers' top passions, with American Football at number two, whilst UFC and Martial Arts came in at fourth.

The petite star of VH1's, K. Michelle: My Life decided to take her bodacious booty down a few notches by reducing the surgical enhancement to a size that is more realistic. Apparently, as a business woman on the rise, K. Michelle felt she was not being taken seriously because of her almost cartoonish bodily proportions.

Analysis: Clinton seizes historic role but ready to win ugly against Trump
Tue., June 7, 2016
By Margaret Talev and Jennifer Epstein Tribune News Service
WASHINGTON – If Hillary Clinton's best argument for unifying Democrats and winning the White House is Donald Trump, then she picked a good week to clinch the nomination.
Clinton's victory-night speech celebrated her historic accomplishment – becoming the first woman nominated for president by a major U.S. party – with sepia-toned images of feminist pioneers past. But the campaign has made clear it's ready to win ugly too, with appeals to fear and not just the heart. Enter Trump, who had by far the worst week of his campaign at the very moment the nation saw Clinton reach her milestone.
In the general election, one of Clinton's biggest challenges may be following one of the oldest rules in politics: When your opponent is self-destructing, just stay out of the way. Clinton's camp also believes fear of Trump also can push Bernie Sanders, and his swath of loyal supporters, into Clinton's camp, even though they're not going quietly yet. "The differences between us and Trump are so much greater than the differences between Sen. Sanders and Secretary Clinton," Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta said on MSNBC.
The choreography now is critical, and the Clinton campaign is eager to move on quickly to solidify her status as the presumptive nominee. President Barack Obama's endorsement may be imminent, and he spent 30 minutes on the phone with Sanders on Sunday in a private but pointed conversation urging unity and a way forward. Then the rest, a wave of the key outstanding endorsements including Vice President Joe Biden, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Sanders himself – but that depends on Sanders.
He has vowed to fight Clinton all the way to the party convention in late July and has said he'll campaign through a Saturday contest in the District of Columbia, though the New York Times said the campaign planned to lay off some staff.
Clinton and Sanders had not spoken ahead of Tuesday's contests but Podesta said he expects the two to talk soon. The two campaign managers – Robby Mook for Clinton and Jeff Weaver for Sanders – have begun speaking with an eye toward laying out a path ahead, said one person familiar with the talks.
While she waits, the strongest hand Clinton has to play right now is to shine the spotlight on Trump, even as the former secretary of state, U.S. senator and first lady also wants to emphasize the historic nature of her campaign. She'll try to strike that balance in a spray of network interviews arranged for Wednesday, a speech to a Planned Parenthood convention on Friday, and her public appearances Monday and Tuesday in the battleground states of Ohio and Pennsylvania.
"Tonight's victory is not about one person. It belongs to generations of women and men who struggled and sacrificed and made this moment possible," she told a crowd in Brooklyn.
While voters in the last six states weighed in on the Democratic primary, the presumptive Republican nominee was facing condemnation from leading Republicans, including House Speaker Paul Ryan. Trump had charged that U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is overseeing a lawsuit against Trump University, is biased against Trump because of the judge's Mexican descent.
Trump spent the day doing damage control, saying his comments were "misconstrued" and saying he didn't plan to talk about the case anymore. On Tuesday night, he gave a stilted TelePrompter speech where he pledged to fight for voters, an unusually conventional political claim from the usually unconventional candidate.
He also promised to deliver a speech next week, likely Monday, detailing his criticisms of the Clintons. Trump said that Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, "have turned the politics of personal enrichment into an art form for themselves" and charged that they had made their personal fortune selling access, favors and government contracts. Trump said Clinton had turned the State Department "into her private hedge fund." So the general election is on.
Trump is "trying to wall off Americans from each other," Clinton said in her acceptance speech. She said Trump wants to take Americans back to a time of exclusion and is promising "an economy he cannot re-create."
Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon said while Clinton has made breaking barriers the slogan of her campaign, "it has a natural foil in Donald Trump who is making divisiveness and bigotry and misogyny the hallmarks of his campaign."
"This moment tonight is about a lot more than just the watershed of the first woman nominee. It is about advancing the goal of making a more perfect union and in our mind there's only one candidate" who can accomplish that, Fallon said.
Several lawmakers stepped up calls Tuesday for Sanders to get out. "I think he should stand down now," said Sen. Bill Nelson, a Florida Democrat. "He is in a unique position to be a unifier and that is so important." If Sanders stays in until the convention, Nelson said it will be "a temporary setback" and "not fatal" to Clinton. "But it's an unnecessary diversion at this point."

I make both decorative and functional slipware, based on traditional earthenware vessels and country pottery with a contemporary unusual twist.
My work is wheel-thrown from red clay, often with added materials to give a varied texture. The pots are decorated with painted, glazed and Sgraffitto images drawn directly with a knife or paintbrush. Ideas are taken from my own sketches of back gardens, waste spaces and allotments. I love to draw the weeds and insects which share our spaces, both welcome and unwelcome. I learned to throw at Derby university and later acheived an MA in studio ceramics at Loughborough university. I have been working as a potter since 2009.

Baltimore Real Estate
Baltimore County Real Estate Information
Baltimore County can be found in the northern part of the state of Maryland. This county is considered part of the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Area, but does not actually contain the city of Baltimore, which has been an independent city since 1851. Baltimore County is named after the original proprietor, Lord Baron Baltimore. Baltimore's county seat lies in Towson, and the county population is estimated to be just over 750,000.
The northern parts of Baltimore County are rural in nature, whereas the southern areas are much more suburban. These include Arbutus, Bowleys Quarters, Carney, Catonsville, Cockeysville, Dundalk, Edgemere, Essex, Garrison, Hampton, Kingsville, Lansdowne-Baltimore Highlands, Lochearn, Lutherville-Timonium, Mays Chapel, Middle River, Milford Mill, Overlea, Owings Mills, Parkville, Perry Hall, Pikesville, Randallstown, Reisterstown, Rosedale, Rossville, Towson, and White Marsh. Baltimore County is comprised of a majority of white residents, but there is also a significant population of black residents. Baltimore County also has a rather large population of Jewish residents. Many of these people came originally form Park Heights, but they can now be found in the communities of Pikesville Reisterstown, and Owings Mills.
Several interstates run through Baltimore County, including I-70, I-83, I-95, I-195, and I-795. Transportation is also made easy through the use of the Maryland Transit Administration's light rail and rapid transit rail systems. Both systems have stops throughout Baltimore County and also in the surrounding cities. Local bus systems are also available and frequently used by county residents.
Throughout much of northern Baltimore County there are thick deciduous forests and beautiful rolling hills. Southern Baltimore County lays right next to the Chesapeake Bay and is home to some beautiful waterfront real estate. The County of Baltimore is comprised of many different communities. Baltimore County's climate varies throughout its different regions. The southern part of the county, including Catonsville, Dundalk, Edgemere, and Essex, falls in the humid subtropical climate zone, but farther north begins to enter the humid continental climate zone. As is typical of east coast cities, summers are hot and very humid, while winters are mild. Snow is common to Baltimore County and the coast receives 10-15 inches annually. However, further inland, annual snowfall is doubled at about 30 inches annually. Rainfall is rather constant throughout the year, making Baltimore County a pleasant place to be year round. This county features a wide variety of landscapes from the sea level coastal regions of the Chesapeake Bay, to the open expanses of northern Maryland. Baltimore County is the location of some very unique and also desirable Maryland properties.

Today was one of the most beautiful days for baseball since spring training. As Baseball Ross and I took our seats under the overhang in the shade, we were pleasantly surprised when we saw Adam Morgan take the mound.
Morgan has been sidelined since last summer with a shoulder injury. He spent the better part of that year here in Clearwater rehabbing.
He looked good, seemed to have good control and his velocity seemed to build with every inning. Considering it's been almost a year since he's pitched in a competitive setting, it was quite an impressive return.
Here's to hoping that next season will be his best yet.
If you have been reading my blog, you know I've had a long summer dealing with pain and weakness in my right elbow. I'm ambidextrous, so I was able to deal with it fairly well, except when it came to using my camera, which is definitely made for right handers. I didn't blog as much as I would have liked and two weeks ago, it hurt too badly for me to ignore any longer. Baseball Ross took me to the urgent care for help. The doctor there said I had, "tennis elbow and a bone growth that would need to be removed." I panicked, who wants to have surgery?!
Friday, I went to see the orthopedic surgeon, who happens to be the official surgeon of the Toronto Blue Jays and the Dunedin Blue Jays. Who better to see than the guy trusted with million dollar arms, right?
He reviewed all the information and X-rays from the urgent care physician and declared that EVERYTHING he had told me was wrong. I do not have "tennis elbow" but "golfer's elbow" a muscle issue with the inside of my elbow. I also have a pinched nerve, so keeping my arm bent in a sling as the urgent care doctor suggested was the worst thing I could have done.
So what do I do? For starters, he gave me an air-cast brace that will support the muscles while they heal. I'm also to keep the elbow as straight as comfortable (even while sleeping) and he gave me new anti-inflammatory medicine that seems to be doing the trick.
If this does not clear it up, then we can try cortisone shots to the elbow and finally as a last resort, he can move/reroute the nerve to the top of my elbow so it won't be pinched. Surgery if it would happen, is a long way down the road, at least a few months.
The only disappointment for me is that if I had to have elbow surgery I wanted to get my first tattoo….
I guess it's worth going to one of the best "arm-guys" in the business if you want a good result. Baseball Doctors Rule!
If you've been following my blog for any length of time, you'll know that one of my favorite players has been Derrick Mitchell. I've followed Derrick since his days in Clearwater and feel lucky that I can call him a friend. Even when he went to the Braves organization, Baseball Ross and I continued to follow him. Both of us, were shocked and saddened when he was released by the Braves organization in July.
Reggie Jackson was in the house!
Today is one of those days, one of those days I will remember the rest of my life. Today I met Hall of Famer, Reggie Jackson.
Today was the first day of the fall instructional league and the Phillies were playing the New York Yankees. I looked over and there was a gentleman wearing Yankees garb and it was Reggie Jackson, Mr. October himself!
I waited for a moment when he wasn't talking to anyone and kindly asked for his autograph he was happy to oblige. It's one of those moments that you can never forget, meeting a Hall of Famer like that, especially when you were expecting to. I didn't have a ball with me but luckily, my good friend Charlie had an extra. So now, I have the autograph of one of the greatest players of the game!
As I've mentioned earlier in the summer I've been dealing with a bad case of "Tennis Elbow" that's made my blogging and photography difficult and painful. I've done the best I could, but last week, it was too much.
With a trip to urgent care, there was more, the discovery of a "bone growth" in the elbow where the nerves pass. A simple explanation for a painful condition.
I talked to some friends and was recommended to a local practice. It was large and when I called, the appointment setter lined me up with their best "sports injury" guy.
Turns out this sports blogger is going to be seeing the doctor for the Toronto Blue Jays and Dunedin Blue Jays. It's like the lines have blurred.
Better yet, he must be good if he can be trusted with million-dollar arms, he should do a wonderful job on my $1.98 arm, right?
So cross your fingers and hopefully we will have a plan of action soon.
I was born in Central Pennsylvania, I'm a Phillies fan at heart and always will be, but since we moved to Florida there's been someone else. Well, may be I should say, someones else.
You see, I live three blocks from the Dunedin Blue Jays' stadium. At first, I went there just when the Phillies or Threshers were there, like you'd expect, but the more I went, the more I was hooked. You see, there is something different about Dunedin, you feel like you belong. Go to a few games and they get to know you. There's a smile as you walk through the gates, a wave from the ladies at the concession stand (even if you don't need anything) and a real sense of community. It doesn't feel like a big corporation, it feels like a team that belongs to the town, you feel like you're part of something.
Every game a local charity holds their 50/50 drawing, there's a toy drive for the local children's Christmas charity, there's the annual charity bowling tournament, sponsorship of little league teams, you name it, the Blue Jays are there for the community.

Beyoncé subtly responds to pregnancy rumors in 'flawless' video
https://news.amomama.com/100519-beyonce-subtly-responds-pregnancy-rumors.html
It took only one gesture from Beyoncé to shut down the pregnancy rumors that have been plaguing the singer for months. And just in case fans were still skeptical, she opened about her body on the last Vogue issue.
Beyoncé is known for keeping her family away from the cameras for the most part. She only shares what she deems acceptable with fans, and an example of that is that until a few weeks ago when she finally posted an adorable pic of Sir and Rumi on her official website, no one had laid eyes on her twins.
Knowles, who has fans swirling with speculations about being pregnant, put those rumors to rest with her performance of the hit song "Flawless," in Cleveland, Ohio on July 25.
The Shade Room shared a clip of the 36-years-old mother of three rocking a tight black bodysuit that enhanced her tiny waist and put her toned legs on display as she told the crowd "You all know that your flaws make you beautiful, right?".
Then, she proceeded to sing the first lines of the song, lightly touching her belly as she sang "I woke up like this…Flawless." That single gesture was a clear message that Bey used to clarify the rumors while sending a message of body positivity to the crowd.
WHEN DID THE PREGNANCY RUMORS START?
Fans started to speculate about Beyoncé's pregnancy from the beginning of the "On The Run II" tour, her joint show with husband Jay-Z and its all because she's not sporting a flat belly with abs like she used to.
Her outfit choices for this tour include several high waisted pants, jumpsuits and jackets that cover her belly, which prompted fans to assume she was trying to hide it. And to add fuel to the speculation, Bey rubbed her belly at one of her shows, giving fans flashbacks of that time she announced her first pregnancy at the MTV Video Music Awards.
While many of her fans are just happy to see their favorite singer live in concert, others have made their mission to get as many shots of the singer's belly as they can to prove that she's, indeed, expecting a fourth Carter baby.
ABOUT HER PREGNANCY WITH THE TWINS AND BODY POSITIVITY
Beyoncé doesn't usually address rumors, relying on a silent treatment to the press and fans when people start talking nonsense and only coming forward with serious accusations or rumors. This time around, however, Knowles used the September issue of Vogue, which has her on the cover, to open up about the visible changes in her body.
In a series of written reflections about life, legacy, music, and ancestry, Beyoncé revealed the struggles her second pregnancy brought to her. She stated that after giving birth to Blue Ivy, she fell under society's pressure of snapping back quickly to her pre-baby body, so she worked extra hard to lose all the baby weight in three months.
With the twins, everything has been different. "I was 218 pounds the day I gave birth to Rumi and Sir. I was swollen from toxemia and had been on bed rest for over a month. My health and my babies' health were in danger, so I had an emergency C-section," she revealed.
After the C-section, Beyoncé confessed, her core felt different. She said:
"Some of your organs are shifted temporarily, and in rare cases, removed temporarily during delivery. I am not sure everyone understands that. I needed time to heal, to recover. During my recovery, I gave myself self-love and self-care, and I embraced being curvier. I accepted what my body wanted to be."
Tiny Harris' daughter Zonnique finally responds to pregnancy rumors
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez responds to rumors claiming she hired her boyfriend
Kim Kardashian finally responds to rumors about a possible baby #4
The singer's confession explains the "baby bump" that fans have been witnessing in her concerts. She also added that to this day, her arms, thighs, and breast are fuller, but she's happier than ever with her body.
She concluded:
"I have a little mommy pouch, and I'm in no rush to get rid of it. I think it's real. Whenever I'm ready to get a six-pack, I will go into beast zone and work my ass off until I have it. But right now, my little FUPA and I feel like we are meant to be."

↑ Rottman, p. 65. 31,400 men Imperial Japanese Army and 4,800 men Imperial Japanese Navy troops were deployed to Guadalcanal during the campaign. Jersey claims that 50,000 total Japanese army and navy troops were sent to Guadalcanal and that most of the original naval garrison of 1,000–2,000 men was successfully evacuated in November and December 1942 by Tokyo Express warships (Jersey, pp. 348–350).
↑ The USMC History Division states that the US ground forces (Army and Marine Corps) suffered 4,709 total wounded. Marine air units add another 127 to this figure. Frank pg. 644 notes that the Bureau of Personnel, World War II Casualty List, Books 2 and 3, Naval Historical Center, Washington, D.C. lists US Navy wounded over the course of the campaign as 2,953, but this number appears to be an understatement.

Losses include 1,768 dead (ground), 4,911 dead (naval), and 420 dead (aircrew). Four U.S. aircrew were captured by the Japanese during the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands and survived their captivity. An unknown number of other U.S. ground, naval, and aircrew personnel were, according to Japanese records, captured by Japanese forces during the campaign but did not survive their captivity and the dates and manners of most of their deaths are unknown (Jersey, pp. 346, 449). Captured Japanese documents revealed that two captured Marine scouts had been tied to trees and then vivisected while still alive and conscious by an army surgeon as a medical demonstration (Clemens, p. 295). Ships sunk includes both warships and "large" auxiliaries. Aircraft destroyed includes both combat and operational losses.
↑ Cowdrey (1994) pg. 71, "Of the 19,200 dead, only 8,500 were 'killed in actual combat,' the majority perishing by malnutrition, malaria, diarrhea, and beriberi." Naval personnel deaths both on land and at sea are not factored into this total.
↑ Frank, pp. 598–618, Shaw, p. 52, and Rottman, p. 65. Numbers include personnel killed by all causes including combat, disease, and accidents. Losses include 24,600–25,600 dead (ground), 3,543 dead (naval), and 2,300 dead (aircrew). Most of the captured personnel were Korean slave laborers assigned to Japanese naval construction units. Ships sunk includes warships and "large" auxiliaries. Aircraft destroyed includes both combat and operational losses.

motocross and supercross, the riders - the teams - and the action!
Some of the most attended events lately are autograph signings and it is no different with motocross and supercross. It brings fans and the curious out in force, provides a meet and greet session and gives vendors the opportunity to display their products. In Riverside, California, Malcolm Smith Motorsports, AMA champion Greg Albertyn and Racer X Jason Wiegant recently hosted an event featuring some of the finest teams and riders.
Great teams abound, such as fan faves like Factory Redbull KTM, Factory Yamaha, Team Geico, Troy Lee Designs Lucas Oil Honda, Team Yoshimura Suzuki and Monster Energy Kawasaki.
It is no surprise that four of the best-known names in motocross and supercross hit the "scheduled to appear" roster. Ryan Dungey, Ken Roczen, Ryan Villopoto and James Stewart get a lot of press, thanks to their skill and technique. Even Brett Metcalf, Davi Milsap and Marvin Musquinn have their fair share of articles and reports.
When it comes to the best of the best in equipment, teams and riders, knowledge is power. Technical staff, engineers, and riders improve their own product by watching what the others do, trying it out to see if it fits and then building on it. Here is more about others in the elite group of gutsy riders.
Kyle Partridge used his practice bike, a 2009 stock CRF450R, to compete in 2011 after a cut on funds. Riding with Dodge/Hart and Huntington in 2012, he made a nasty mess of his foot in Saint Louis in March. He hopes to be back in the action soon.
Dakota Tedder, son of Matt Tedder Sr and brother of Myles Tedder, is part of Team Tedder/Monster Energy Kawasaki. 2012 events include the Monster Energy AMA Professional SX West Coast Championship series and the AMA National Outdoor Professional MX Series. Racing at some of the REM Glen Helen races, Dakota won the 250 Pro class, just beating out Myles, and another time won the 450 Intermediate class.
Jason Anderson, with Rockstar Energy Suzuki, is looking forward to all the best in 2012. Born and raised in Edgewood, New Mexico, fans will see him in the West Coast Lites Supercross on the RM-Z250. The question regarding Anderson after watching him ride is if he was born to race supercross or if supercross was created in anticipation of this incredible young talent?
Myles Tedder, brother of Dakota Tedder and part of Team Tedder/Monster Energy Kawasaki, raced the 2011 circuit on the 2011 KX 250F. Team manager Matt Tedder Sr. notes Team Tedder is the largest family racing team in motorsports.
Suzuki is proud of their racing 2012 RM-Z250. Fuel injection gives the engine pizzazz and the 249ccs are just part of the package. Showa suspension and a trim physique provide incredible handling for record-breaking performance.
Take a minor tweak like a different rear shock linkage and you get the idea of how important Honda considers the comments from their riders. The CRF450R has better handling for the downhill action. New fork outer tubes, suspension and springs lead to better action in sections of sand, heavy dirt and mud. Is it Honda's best open-class MX bike yet? Watch your favorite riders and judge for yourself.
Motcross and supercross events for the rest of the year promise exciting action.
Motcross and supercross racing is ideal to go along and see whatever your age. The supercross event is generally in a stadium, and watched in the evening. Where jumps abound, and you have something of a spectacular event to drink in.
Supercross races usually last about 20+ mins, and it has tons of fans, websites and babes! Motcross is more of an outside pursuit, held in the day and the races vary from a few minutes to beyond half an hour.
Whatever your choice, go along and support your TYPE of sport.
Motcross and supercross, are split into two camps. Motocross (or MX) is often an outside racing track, with featured tracks all over the country. It can be a prestigious trails circuit or a local mud n' tire track near to where you live. With the amount of free info out there and discussion boards you should easily find a place to ride your yamaha or suzuki on the tuff performance circuits across the USA.
If you want to Delve Deeper - Take a look too; at the many DVDs and championship moments featuring Ricky Carmichael.
Super cross events are usually a circuit track held in a stadium, with a fantastic indoor lighting system. They are short tracks of course, but the SX riders know how to unleash their fury in this action packed super fast racing.
Ok so what's on the web for getting motcross and supercross info? Well one cool website is motocross-racing-tips.com. They have advice on MX suspension, bike maintenance, dirt bike riding techniques and racing track design and layout. If we looked hard enough I expect they will have tips on where to get great off-road tires as well. They might even have photo galleries of race days and video downloads of MX and SX battles? - its well worth a look anyway.
Racerxonline.com is an excellent motocross and supercross news site. With categories such as features, interviews, videos, blogs and info on how to subscribe to their website. There is also a mighty fine breaking news feature....for the day, so you won't miss a single thing.
Nwmoto.com, is a good source for dirt bikers, but really aimed at track-masters in the Pacific Northwest. But some motcross and supercross hints maybe found. As this is a non profit news website, its better to use the pages as a general info site for your dirt bike education. As you can't guarantee the reviews are completely up to date. But we did like the friendly and helpful way nwmoto.com was written and laid out.
Supercross.info, does what it says on the tin. Plus it shows World Championship Winners by year and a breakdown of AMA Championship winners by year too. Then finally the big two sites, for modern MX and SX fans, its supercross.com and motocross.com.
Supercross.com has schedules, race results, mx girls, videos features, riders and a whole lot more. Where as motocross.com has videos, features, race coverage, reviews plus a track finder and a cool forum.
Take time out to check into these fantastic places online - for all aspects of motorbike power sports.
The dirt bike motorcycle has never been so widely followed as it is today. New fans for motor cross and for supercross events are growing each year in America. Fans can follow both sports and there are no rules to say otherwise. Being online, helps you catch the latest info on the gossip and controversies that inhabit any sport. So enjoy both, or be an avid watcher of one – the only head scratcher is which one to pick?

Symantec and McAfee 'should have prepared better' for Vista
Symantec and McAfee have recently made high-profile complaints that they are being "locked out" of the Vista operating system kernel by Microsoft's PatchGuard technology. It is claimed that this allegedly anti-competitive move by Microsoft will prevent security firms from developing host intrusion prevention (HIPS) systems for Vista to protect against new malware.
However, Sophos argues that its approach to HIPS technology has met with no problems on both the low-spec and high-spec versions of Windows Vista. In addition, Sophos claims that Microsoft has so far provided all the interfaces that Sophos needs for providing this form of protection.
"Symantec and McAfee may be struggling with HIPS because they haven't coded their solutions with high-spec Vista in mind," said Richard Jacobs, CTO of Sophos.
"We've taken a different approach, by focusing on catching bad behaviour before it has a chance to occur. Additionally, we are building our technology by making use of supported Microsoft interfaces rather than by trying to subvert them. That's why we're ready for 64-bit Vista, and others aren't."
Jacobs added that he believes PatchGuard is a "positive step" by Microsoft to improve security in Windows Vista, and is not in itself anti-competitive, provided that Microsoft delivers on its commitment to provide the same level of kernel support and integration to third party security vendors as it does to its own security product team.
"It's clearly the case that we and other vendors will now have some dependency on Microsoft to deliver kernel interfaces for new security innovations, which could slow us all down," continued Jacobs.
"However this is more than compensated for by the additional security offered by Vista. PatchGuard is a step in the right direction for customers, and we believe that security vendors should embrace and work with PatchGuard rather than fight it."

Written by Robert Langkjær-Bain on 22 February 2017 .
The annual Academy Awards ceremony take place this Sunday, 26 February. Nominees for one of the coveted Oscars will be hoping to leave Hollywood's Dolby Theatre with a gold statuette in hand. But other than professional pride and bragging rights, what exactly is an Oscar worth?
The answer is $3 million, according to an analysis by Edmund Helmer, a data analyst who maintains the blog BoxOfficeQuant. That is the average amount by which an Oscar win boosts a film's takings, compared to other nominees. Perhaps surprisingly, though, a Golden Globe win actually provides an even bigger boost of $14.2 million, probably because of the earlier timing of the Golden Globe announcements, which gives distributors more chance to cash in.
Jeffrey Simonoff and Ilana Sparrow of New York University found that being nominated for an Oscar increased takings by 150% for films opening in 10 screens or fewer, and by 30% for those opening in more than 10 screens. However, the impact depends hugely on the timing of the film's release in relation to the nomination announcement, and on how the distributor responds.
If you were to look through the list of this year's Oscar nominees, you might notice the absence of sequels from any of the major awards categories. It would seem, therefore, that the Academy values originals more than follow-ups and follow-ons. Audiences, too, would seem to have a similar preference: sequels almost always make less money than the films that preceded them, and are judged less favourably.
Why, then, is Hollywood so obsessed with sequels? For a start, they are a much safer bet than a brand new idea that audiences might hate. That is why Warner Brothers has just embarked on a series of Harry Potter spin-offs, and why Disney brought Star Wars back to screens in 2015 for its seventh episode, followed by the spin-off movie Rogue One, with more instalments in the works.
A 2013 paper by Hou Yong and others from China's Harbin Institute of Technology used linear regression analysis to reveal the link between the box office performance of sequels and their predecessors.1 The researchers studied a large sample of 371 films over a 32-year period. They concluded that the performance of the first film in a series has a bigger impact on the success of a sequel than whether the original was actually any good in the eyes of viewers or professional critics.
They also found that a franchise is only as good as its last instalment. In other words, if more than two films are made, it is the performance of the most recent episode that best predicts how the next one will fare. If the last instalment did badly, producers should consider pulling the plug.
While following in the wake of a hit does not offer complete protection against poor quality (Shrek the Third, for instance, had blockbuster pedigree but lacklustre reviews, and saw a 27% drop in attendance compared to Shrek 2), it does appear to be the more significant factor.
So for movie fans who are tired of studios churning out sequels, the message is clear: stop going to see them.
This article is an excerpt from our February 2017 cover story. The full article is free to read for a limited period.


The Aimpoint® CompM4 series of sights are the toughest sights that Aimpoint has ever produced and they are the standard infantry soldier sight in many NATO countries. These optics are extremely rugged and operate continuously for up to 8 years using a single AA battery. The competition is not even close. The Aimpoint CompM4s is the latest version of the U.S. Army's M68CCO (Close-Combat Optic), continuing a legacy that Aimpoint has maintained since 1997.

Johannes Auer
Frieder Rusmann: Fabrikverkauf [www.fabrik-ver-kauf.de]
In my opinion the product-cycle, the hype, of E-Commerce as cause or material of a net-art-project has come to an end; as a theme for a new product it has worn itself out and cannot be reflected on any more. This was different one year ago when the New Economy was still booming, when enormous toy-wars had razed enormous dot-com companies. So let me take you back to the golden age of autumn 1999, when "Fabrikverkauf" was born and when "startup" was still a magic word, when e-commerce was the wand.
Fabrikverkauf [www.fabrik-ver-kauf.de] takes the affirmation of community and e-commerce as an opportunity for the user to create the art-performance of the [walking exhibition]. To do this the customer has to order a t-shirt (on which I printed self-designed artmotives) via www in the e-shop of "Fabrikverkauf". On delivery the customer at the same time gets a password that takes they on the site of "Fabrikverkauf" and there he/she can publish when and where he/she will wear this specific t-shirt, i.e. where the body-worn art, the exhibition he/she gives , the date of the walking exhibition can be looked at. So far the walking exhibition has 120 exhibition dates worldwide.
The Family bonds
Who co-signs as responsible for this project, what family bonds back it historically? The Godfather is of course Andy Warhol. The sale of popular finished products produced in series will forever be linked to his name. Let me quote Beat Wyss from his aptly-named book "Die Welt als T-Shirt". "Everyday the epiphany of Andy Warhol´s spirit can be observed in all super-markets (please mentally add e-shops, J.A.) of the world: The mystic unity of article (product), advertisment and artform in reality! The prophecy of avantgarde is fulfilled: Art has become a living thing and lives amongst us." (WaT, S.117). And this is why Fabrikverkauf is a genuflection, well lets say a curtsey in particular to Andy´s factory. I say curtsey because in Andy´s family history we will immediately meet his great-uncle who - as I quoted before - Beat Wyss calls the "prophecy of the avantgarde"
Prophet Marcel stands for Beat
Great-uncle Duchamp stands for Andy
prophetically great-godfather Marcel Duchamps stands for "Fabrikverkauf".
Thanks, uncle, for the ready-made! Even if it has lost its aura. Great-godfather Benjamin was right: if technically reproduced the artwork loses its aura – T-shirts included. And that is bad for business. Who would want to bring home a repro-artwork without aura and – on top of it – pay for it. Sorry Walter, here we have to trick a little bit and go right to the aura of the T-shirt wearer. And it´s your fault, Walter: Did you not say and I quote literally: "every person today has a right to be filmed." (1,2, S. 493), in other words every person has the right to be a star for 15 minutes as Andy more concisely formulated it? So: By wearing the T-shirt the aura of the artwork is reanimated, hanging so to speak like a parasite on the infusion of the wearer's temporary star-individuality in which he/she of course strongly believes. The trick is: The T-shirt-wearer makes the [artwork] when he/she wears the T-shirt in the walking exhibition. And this worn T-shirt which lies directly on the skin, caresses and massages it with every movement, just as step-uncle Marshall McLuhan said: "The medium is the massage". We know of this genealogical relationship thanks to a reference from Reinhard Döhl. A last word to the family: As we are passing by, a quick visit to our favorite uncle Beuys. He makes it easy for us, the anglisized form of his name (buys') binds him closely to our project anyway. Apart from this he gave us the social sculpture. And so with the [walking exhibition] we want to say "thank you" very politely.
Although the story is almost completely clear and has explained everything, it has also cast us a solid foundation on which we now venture the direct contact with "Fabrikverkauf".
"Fabrikverkauf" is a hybrid project: It takes place as E-shop and Community-platform in the www and has a strong real-life component in the [walking exhibition]. The [walking exhibition] is so to speak the traditional exhibition place of the project. And exhibitions are usually advertised with invitation cards and opened with speeches. Therefore we have designed, printed and sent invitation cards for "Fabrikverkauf". In keeping with the E-commerce-plan it has the form of a dollar note and of course was adapted for the project.
The speech for the exhibition opening came from Reinhard Döhl (who didn't speak) because the text was published in the www on 21st Nov. 99 announced on the invitation card.
Since then the sale is on and the [walking exhibition] shows its exponants continously. To finish off: As I mentioned at the beginning: In my opinion E-commerce as net.art-material has had its day. On the other hand "Fabrikverkauf" as an E-commerce project is successful and is unexpectedly making profit. Will net.art now become appealing demonstration material for the success in E-commerce?

A lot of people are searhing for the best diet program. A diet regime that allows you to take in all of the yummy things you wish and nonetheless nonetheless lose weight. Why does there have to be this kind of disparity concerning an excellent diet plan plus a actual one. The real kinds are all dependant on this restriction or that 1. No carbs, no fats or superior calorie meals, your entire favourite stuff is off limitations. Rather you've to stay to fruits, eco-friendly leafy vegetables, large fiber things, and food items with reduced calories.
Here's a brief study of some quick fat loss diet so you can familiarize yourself with them.
The Cabbage Soup eating plan is famous. This diet program provides a several variation but at its base is you eat cabbage soup after you are hungry and it will fill you up so that you can remain over the food plan. Though you're undertaking the cabbage soup diet program things such as oils and fat are off restrictions. This diet is just one other facet of the full fast; it is a minimal calorie eating plan and so that you can eliminate many excess weight on it Mayo Clinic Grapefruit Diet.
The Sonoma diet may be the creation of Dr. Connie Gutterson. It is significant in antioxidant prosperous food items, vegetables and fruit, blueberries, spinach, complete grains. Heck you can also have a tiny crimson wine with this just one. It is additionally an exceptionally productive diet and you simply can lose plenty of bodyweight on it.
Trim Speedy given that the middle bit of your diet also will work. This can also become a well balanced, nutritional food plan which will come comprehensive with calcium and protein. On this diet you take in Slender Rapidly 6 occasions every day and you also get to insert in fruit, yogurt, cottage cheese, clean vegetables, meat, and nuts. This diet regime is one which which has a little treatment you'll be able to take pleasure in getting on; it even operates for adolescents.
Future could be the damaging calorie diet, essentially it can be much more just like a food plan helper. On this diet program you consume foodstuff that have less calories in comparison to the number of energy it will require to digest them. These are typically significant fiber products, foods with minimal fats, vegatables and fruits. Roughage is usually a big portion of your adverse calorie diet plan. You can't assist but shed pounds for the reason that it takes more calories to digest than you take in by consuming it.
These eating plans operate but sadly they don't seem to be eating plans you could follow. One's body will be in whole rise up if try and stay with any of such far too extensive, then your excess weight might sling shot back the opposite way.

It's next week Thursday. I assume people here have gone. I have not. Is it cool? Worth going, or is it the Kohl's experience where stuff is "marked down" to average or above prices?
Get there early. Everything is pretty much 80% off, so the good stuff goes fast. I got some really cool shirts for $7 each. We got there an hour into it and slim pickings on my sizes, pretty big crowd.
I asked one of the lady's and she said they restock everything every morning.
Is that general public? I noticed full season SSH get first grab, then 20pk etc. get an hour later on Thursday night. Imagine still really crowded, but just curious what your experience was. Sounds like it may be worth the trip in.
Sorry, I was in for the full season SSH first day.
I just remembered that i'm going to be in Milwaukee for dinner that Saturday, do you think anything interesting will still be around if I show up early Saturday evening? I still proudly wear my game used Gabe Gross jersey I got there a decade ago!
I'll guess they will have plenty of playoff stuff at a discount. which may be worth the trip.
For what it's worth, the hawing household is eligible to go during the SSH presale on Thursday evening, but we generally opt to take Friday off and make a day of hanging out in Milwaukee. We usually get to Miller Park late morning or around the noon hour, but I've never walked away empty handed. I'm sure there's cool stuff we miss out on, but on the up side there's rarely a long wait when we are there.
Personally, I think the clubhouse sale has been getting worse and worse each year. I'm probably not making the drive down. I wouldn't think based on previous years that the playoff gear will be there. Next year, maybe.
It's an absolute disaster. I'm here so no point in leaving now but there is an hour wait just to get inside.
Disappointing. Didn't bother going to dugout for game used stuff, and they did have nice tees. Some prices $1-5. They had playoff stuff too, but not the one I wanted, the lighter blue playoff hoodie. They did have Defend MKE tees and hoodies and some other hoodie about the pennant. There was NLDS stuff as well and it was priced very reasonably. The one playoff item I grabbed the tag on was 65% off from $35. Didn't get my hoodie though.
You are better off showing up at 8pm unless you want something super limited. I can't imagine Friday or Saturday is as bad as this either.
This year's sale was the most underwhelming I can recall. There was markedly less variety than I've ever seen, at midday Friday, which as I mentioned above is our customary arrival time.
If you liked the Pennant Pursuit or Chasing H18tory postseason logos (as opposed to Defend MKE or Our Crew, Our October), you were in luck as shirts and hoodies with those logos pretty much filled the clubhouse. It would help if you wore size M or smaller. The lockers surrounding the clubhouse were nearly empty, save for some Spring Training 2018 shirts and other odds and ends. There was not a player shirsey to be seen, anywhere.
The visitors' dugout, and hallway between the clubhouse and dugout, had the authentics and I would say more interesting merchandise. 2018 postseason banners, some with a player's face and some merely saying Our Crew, Our October. Those large photo signs that used to be displayed for the day's starting lineup by the home plate entrance. A rack of game-used jerseys, mostly for also-ran/barely-were players and former coaches. A table piled with more such jerseys (mostly BP), for even lesser known players. A modest selection of locker nameplates, not really for big names. Some batting helmets and cracked bats, which I didn't peruse.
The most interesting jerseys left over were big ticket - like a Gatorade-stained Aguilar Milwaukee Bears jersey for $1000 (less a 35% discount!).
I heard enough reports (besides OldSchoolSnapper's above) of the crowds and lines and long waits for SSHs so I don't regret waiting for Friday to make the trip. It's still always fun to have a day off and a reason to visit Miller Park, and I enjoyed spending some time in the dugout (though with the roof open it was literally as well as figuratively cool). They hadn't even taken down the NLCS signage in the dugout.
I'm used to seeing super pricey big ticket stuff, and used to seeing weird leftovers. But every other year we've gone there has been "in-between" merchandise that makes the sale worth our while - the $5 shirseys to wear with ironic pride, general fashion merchandise that works for holiday gifts, etc. This year there was not. So although I'm still glad we missed the Thursday night crowdedness, 2018 is the first year I wondered how much better the selection was on Thursday night.


Both men and women in their 20s and 30s want to engage in a relationship that will last unless they have other motives. According to many relationship platforms on various blogs and social media, not many people want to waste their time in a relationship that is not heading anywhere. Notably, most tend to pass the blame of a failed relationship to their partners. However, it is important to know that each person has a role to play in making it a success. That is why the insights below are crucial.
One of the challenges that are facing millennials who are engaged in a relationship is failed communication. However, there are many lines of communication that couples can rely on even if they do not meet regularly. It could be through video calls to get the joy of seeing the face of your partner, a voice call, or even a simple text. Open communications can solve many challenges, especially if couples are sincere with each other. It is not good to go for a few days without contacting each other if you are in a serious relationship.
Lovers should encourage and support each other's ambitions and dreams. This mostly applies to education, career, or anywhere else. However, both of you need to have a shared dream. Working towards it brings you together and keeps the relationship strong at all times. For instance, a young couple could be saving together to buy a dream home for settling down as a family as soon as they get married. Shared dreams are critical according to relationship experts and should exist in all relationships. It is up to you to choose what you want to achieve as a couple.
Another factor that contributes to a lasting relationship is a compromise. Both parties should compromise a few things to make the relationship work. It should not be a battle between the pants and skirts wearers. Creating a balance on various issues will eliminate most challenges that would have otherwise affected you. Sacrifice should be part of the relationship at all times.
According to research by the University of Washington led by psychologist John Gottman, couples need to be involved in some form of physical relationship as it completes the needs of a human being. The connection creates a lasting bond that can always mend things back even when there are challenges. That is why people looking for a partner on dating platforms like the Happymatches website will indicate that they are looking for a physical connection as one of the requirements.
A person will not always be strong. But it is the role of the partner to offer first support in life. Women are emotional and sometimes it will happen without an explainable reason. As a man, it is good first to understand her and then proceeds to give the necessary support. Encouraging each other every morning makes the entire day very bright as their self-esteem remains high. If your partner has a fault, you should work hard to offer encouragement or any other support that they need so that it does not bring them down. Otherwise, your relationship could be jeopardized.
Although it is a rarely mentioned relationship matter, financial responsibility plays a significant role in making a relationship last. Young couples separate with their partners because they make wrong decisions that lead them into endless debt. However, those who can plan their money well can afford to fund their career, pay bills, and even take their partners on a date to cement their relationship. Thus, making the right decisions in regards to both of your money is crucial in a relationship.
Giving a gift means many things in a relationship: love, care, and remorse, to mention a few. Ladies, to be precise, love gifts and cherish them for life. However, men are becoming fond of them as well. Whether you want to look for forgiveness after a mistake or you want to tell your partner how much you love them, a carefully-selected gift will work magic. Make sure that your partner gets a gift during special occasions like their birthday and anniversaries. Gifts must not be expensive to make sure that what matters is the message of love that they give to your partner.
A lasting relationship is for those who never give up. Although challenges are always there, how both of you solve them is crucial. Any psychologist will tell you that this is the overall solution to all of the problems that you might be having in a relationship. Thus, all young people should stay strong and take responsibilities in the relationships that they have if they want them to last. They should never give up no matter what!


No one has ever brought in this much money in a single quarter, and it came from 800,000 individual contributions, according to his campaign.
Rep. Beto O'Rourke, the El Paso Democrat challenging incumbent Republican Sen. Ted Cruz had the single largest fundraising quarter in a Senate race ever, his campaign said Friday.
O'Rourke raised more than $38 million in the third quarter of 2018 from 802,836 individual contributions. Not only did the haul break previous records for Senate candidates, it also outpaced previous quarters where he raised more money than Cruz.
O'Rourke's campaign also said it plans this weekend to meet a two-day goal of knocking 102,733 doors and making 102,733 phone calls.
While his energetic and tireless campaign has posed a threat to Cruz and invigorated Texans, recent poll numbers suggest that O'Rourke is not poised to become the first Democrat elected statewide in Texas since 1994. The Real Clear Politics average has Cruz leading by seven points.
O'Rourke's fundraising boons have come, in part, from his campaign's efforts to essentially broadcast the congressman's every move around Texas, including his early morning runs and skateboarding in the parking lot of Whataburger.
Prior to this record haul, Florida's Republican governor Rick Scott raised a massive $22 million earlier this year for his Senate race, though $14 million came from his personal funds. In 2000, former Rep. Rick Lazio (R-NY) raised $22 million in a quarter for his Senate bid against Hillary Clinton. In 2012, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) was known as the fundraising juggernaut with a $12.1 million quarter.


← Labor Day Celebration–still in?
It was the first day of my retirement, and there I was in a religious goods shop, drawn to the book section.
Because the section was, in part, behind the counter, I asked permission to peruse there.
The clerk apologized for the lack of organization among the books, saying that she was in the process of creating some order, putting like books together.
Immediately I swung into action, forgetting that I had just (as in by a few hours) retired.
Opening a book to its copyright page, I showed the clerk where she could see the subject categories the publishers had suggested, should she wish to use their recommendations.
Then she mentioned a book she, herself, was hoping to find, and before she could show me its front cover image on her phone, voila! I pulled the desired book off the shelf.
Looking startled, she asked if she had shown me the cover.
When I assured her she hadn't–as she admitted she thought she hadn't–she asked how I possibly found that book so quickly.
That's when I admitted my advantage. Ten years of reading spines. Ten years of finding books that students insisted were not on the shelves, because, yes, they assured me, they had looked!
As happy as the clerk was that I had spared her the chore of searching for the book, I was equally affirmed. I might be retired, but the skills I gained are still useful to myself and others I can serve.
An unexpected, but very nice affirmation; an unexpected, but very nice retirement beginning; an unexpected but very nice way of continuing to be my professional self.
Without a doubt, the chapter on my work life might have come to an end, but I'm open to continuing unexpected past work-related affirming surprises.
In what ways are you surprised that your former work comes in handy to you and others?

If your shoes don't quite fit as snugly as they might, then a pair of gel insoles might provide just the solution. They're built to sit within the interior of the shoe, and will lift you those extra few millimetres, ensuring that the top of your foot securely presses against the top of your shoe.
