The Arboretum, in collaboration with Tianyu Arts & Culture Inc., is putting on its first-ever Chinese lantern festival, featuring such displays as this soaring dragon over the garden's Baldwin Lake.
Open now until Jan. 6, "Moonlight Forest" transforms the Arboretum's gardens at night into landscapes illuminated by more than 60 displays of larger-than-life, handcrafted lantern art depicting a parade of pandas, dragons, shimmering flowers and more.
"Moonlight Forest" lanterns are designed and produced by artists from the production company Tianyu Arts & Culture Inc., the American subsidiary of the international design and manufacturing company Sichuan Tianyu Culture Communications Co., based in Zigong, China. Over the past three years, Tianyu has created about 10 similar exhibits across the United States, typically at outdoor spaces like zoos, gardens or state fairgrounds. The Arboretum's exhibit, however, is by far the largest to scale so far, said Ai Luo, Tianyu Arts & Culture representative.
Ed Malicdem, Arboretum Foundation Trustee Diane Grohulski and Arboretum CEO Richard Schulhof attend the festival's launch party.
Arboretum is a unique 127-acre botanical garden and historical site located in what was once Rancho Santa Anita. Its cultivation of natural, horticultural and historic resources has culminated in displays of Native American, rancho period and late 19th century treasures. The Arboretum also is an official wildlife sanctuary — hundreds of colorful peafowl roam the grounds, which also feature other species of resident and migratory birds, aquatic creatures and numerous species of small reptiles and mammals.
Not only does the glowing exhibit fit in perfectly with the Arboretum's outdoor paradise, it also speaks to the surrounding Chinese community of Southern California, Schulhof noted.
Arboretum staff walked the grounds multiple times with Tianyu designers to bring the lanterns to life in some of its most coveted gardens. Lanterns re-creating the soldiers of the Terracotta Army of Xi'an, China, loom above the central fountain pool, magnifying their golden reflection, and a fierce-looking, colorful dragon stretches over the expanse at Baldwin Lake. The hues of colorful lights reflect and glow on the botanical surroundings, bringing a different life to even the eerie, high-pitched calls of the nesting peafowl, hundreds of which claim the Arboretum as home and roost some 140 feet up in the trees at night.
Arcadia is featuring a nighttime lantern festival with more than 60 displays of whimsical creatures, such as this tree frog.
The festival is part of the Arboretum's continuing efforts to serve its diverse membership across Southern California and to reach new members, Schulhof said. The Arboretum is governed through a private-public collaboration between its foundation and the county Parks and Recreation Department. The foundation, founded in 1948, has been instrumental in providing a strategic direction and raises funds and throws annual concerts and events. It leads a broad community of members, volunteers and donors in establishing the philanthropic support needed to realize the Arboretum's potential as a premier public garden and educational resource. There are some 20,000 members, and the Arboretum serves more than 17,000 schoolchildren annually. This past year, a record number of visitors, 435,000, came to the gardens.
especially with its visually Instagrammable moments, whether they be underneath a sea of red Chinese lanterns or amid ethereal, floating jellyfish. Children can run amok on the grounds, food trucks are on site to provide a picnic dinner, and there are also featured Chinese performing arts and crafts.
County Supervisor Kathryn Barger also took a turn of the grounds during the festival's launch party, praising the Arboretum's plentiful events and singularity.

This is based off a topic started in the JBD Fanclub.
1) The first person will post a question that can be answered by anyone.
2) The next person's Kiamara will answer that question, and then make up a new question for the next person who posts to answer.
Good questions to ask are things like, "What's your favorite color?" or "Do you like pie?"
Reina ; Oh that's a tough question. I love all music, they all carry such a lovely melody and emotion. It paints such wonderful pictures in my mind, I love it so much. But as for a question..hmm.. What's your favorite type of weather?
June: I prefer a moderate temperature. Not too hot and not too cold.
ambrosia. definatly to hang out with friends.
shattered [ˈʃætɪd] adj. impaired or destroyed. dumbfounded or thoroughly upset. informal tired out or exhausted.
ambrosia talks in this color.
rayado talks in this color.
Parachute: I really like the mountains, its a very neat and secluded place to be, especially when the trees are covered in ice. I've only been to the Smoky and Appalachian mountains though, but I've heard the mountains in Alaska are breathtaking.
Do you have any hobbies or activities?
Reina ; I love listening to music, and I also like painting things even if I can't see what I'm doing. I just let my paws and mind wander.
June: I absolutely love fall time. The colors are very beautiful and it's fun to play in the piles of fallen leaves.
Ambrosia: my favourite is thanksgiving. because everyone is so giving. AND THE FOOD.
Eva;; hmm. well, I watch a lot of movies, so it's hard to choose. mainly I like dark humor sort of stuff. probably my all time favorite... Spirited Away *U* kid movie, I know, but really beautiful.
If you had to choose an animal to be for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Reina ; I quite like being a Kiamara.. But I wouldn't mind being a bird..Unless I was still blind. If I was still blind I'm sad to say I would die right away.
If you could only see any uh..color, for the rest of your life, which would it be?
Juli;; Hmm. . . I suppose if I could only see one color for the rest of my life, I guess it'd have to be teal. If you get to see things in your favorite color, I guess it's tolerable.
As for a question? Hmm. . . Who's your favorite artist? Be it poetry, art, or music.
My lovely Kiamara, Julianna. ღ I love her to pieces.
I like One Republic... The band?
Question? If you wanted a pet, what kind?
Kairi: Ooh, a pet? Um, well, there's a lot of other animals and stuff where I live, but I don't think Garnet has any birds! I'd love a little mockingbird or something~ Of course, I'm not sure mockingbirds can be pets... Hehe!
Okay, um, question... Oh, I know! If you could change you name to anything at all, would you, and what would it be~?
Oh, I know! If you could change you name to anything at all, would you, and what would it be~?
Viri;; well, I hate the name Viridescent, so I'd change it to just Viri. if I had to change it to something completely different, maybe Alice or Madison- for some reason, those names have always appealed to me.
if you had to be stranded in one enviroment for the rest of your life (wildlife, I mean) what would you choose?
Mango Berry: Oh that's a tough one. I would probably have to say... any sort of tropical environment. I log the warmth, and bright tropical sun seems to make my fur shimmer.
What is your favorite thing to do in snowy weather?
As for question… If your house was made out of candy, what candy would it be?
Zano: I don't know running I guess.
Mango Berry: I hate bananas. They are disgusting. Ick ick ick!
Viri:: raspberries *u* their flavor, size, everything is perfect.
If you could chose one thing to eat for the rest of your life, what would it be?
"Potatoes. I mean, I prefer meat, but potatoes have more of a diverse nutritional value."
If you were stranded on an island with one carnivorous dinosaur, which one would it be?
"One that only eats fish."
"Okay, If you could turn into any animal for a day, what would it be and why?"
Reina ; Hmm...I'd stay as a Kiamara. We aren't hunted and we seem to think more then others. It's also the easiest thing for me to get around as.
What is the scariest...uh, dream you've ever had?
We were in this like jungle paradise with huts and bridges between the trees and stuff and there were lots of us there like everyone in my school and my friends and family and a few strangers and stuff and we were living in like this colony but the only beverage we had was the juice from oranges that grew in that area so I was in charge of like a big refrigirator warehouse and we were sorting out stuff and then there was 2 other people in the orange juice warehouse for some reason they werent together and one of them went missing and then the other was with me and we looked in the mirror which was foggy and stuff so it wasnt clear and we saw what looked like these numbers in the reflection but there were none in the world around us and we were trying to read them through the fog but each time we got somewhere they seemed to change and they kinda looked like the ID numbers on the bottles of oranges and then the warehouse door closed and it got colder and we started hearing things and then I woke up but the orange juice was coming for me I swear it was like it wanted revenge for all those poor oranges that got smooshed. Yeah. "
Rogue: "Thanks for interrupting me ravey. |/ Anyway, now for the question, what-"
Me: "OOH I got a good one! If you were stranded on an island for a week, and you only had a single sandwhich to eat for that whole week, what kind of sandwhich would you have?"
Kairi: Umm... I'd get a six foot sub full of roast beef and turkey. It sounds like a weird combo, but it's sooo good!

Extractions: Andrei Nikolaevich Kolmogorov 's parents were not married and his father took no part in his upbringing. His father Nikolai Kataev, the son of a priest, was an agriculturist who was exiled. He returned after the Revolution to head a Department in the Agricultural Ministry but died in fighting in 1919. Kolmogorov's mother also, tragically, took no part in his upbringing since she died in childbirth at Kolmogorov's birth. His mother's sister, Vera Yakovlena, brought Kolmogorov up and he always had the deepest affection for her. In fact it was chance that had Kolmogorov born in Tambov since the family had no connections with that place. Kolmogorov's mother had been on a journey from the Crimea back to her home in Tunoshna near Yaroslavl and it was in the home of his maternal grandfather in Tunoshna that Kolmogorov spent his youth. Kolmogorov's name came from his grandfather, Yakov Stepanovich Kolmogorov, and not from his own father. Yakov Stepanovich was from the nobility, a difficult status to have in Russia at this time, and there is certainly stories told that an illegal printing press was operated from his house. After Kolmogorov left school he worked for a while as a conductor on the railway. In his spare time he wrote a treatise on

Extractions: (b. April 25 [April 12, Old Style], 1903, Tambov, Russiad. Oct. 20, 1987, Moscow), Russian mathematician whose work influenced several branches of modern mathematics. Notably, he presented some basic postulates for probability theory that have since served to make the subject an integral part of analysis. At the age of 17 Kolmogorov was enrolled in the Moscow State University. In the autumn of 1921 he worked on complex problemsin the theory of trigonometrical series and operations on setsclosely tied with the basic directions of the Moscow mathematical school of that time, namely, with ideas in the theory of functions of real variables. In the spring of 1922 he completed a study in the theory of operations on sets (published in 1928). In 1925 Kolmogorov was graduated from the faculty of physics and mathematics of Moscow State University and was appointed a research associate of the faculty. At this time he became interested in probability theory. His important "General Theory of Measure and Probability Theory," published in 1929, gave the first description of an axiomatic construction of probability theory based on measure theory.

If you receive cell phone robocalls, you could be entitled to cash
By: Joe Ducey
Three businesses settled class action lawsuits involving the issue of robocalls and are paying people affected — which could include you.
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act, or TCPA , forbids automated calls, pre-recorded messages and text messages to cell phones, as well as pre-recorded calls to landlines.
A lawsuit involving Caribbean Cruise Lines alleges the company auto-dialed cell phones without the owner's prior permission.
Scott Hardy with Top Class Actions says these calls were offers for free cruise trips.
In some cases, calls can be made if you gave prior permission, but no solicitation calls can be made to numbers on the Do Not Call registry.
Although Caribbean Cruise Lines did not admit any wrongdoing, you could get $500 per call received between August of 2011 and August 2012.
C lick here for more on this settlement, with the deadline for claims set for February 1, 2017.
If you got a similar call from Amsher Collection Services trying to collect a debt, you could be entitled to a settlement of up to $225 per call.
Those calls had to be made to cell phones between July 13, 2011 and October 19, 2016.
Amsher claimed no wrongdoing in this lawsuit.
Click here for more on the Amsher Collection Services settlement, with the deadline for claims set for February 3, 2017.
If Dun and Bradstreet Credibility Corporation made an "auto-dialed" sales call to your cell phone between April 28, 2011 and January 31, 2016, you could expect up to $120 per call.
Click here for more on the Dun and Bradstreet settlement, with the deadline to file set for February 6, 2017.
Some of these calls can be made if you gave the company prior permission and that permission can sometimes be given when you sign agreements with the business.

Abstract: Drawing upon key arguments of prevailing theoretical perspectives in international business, this study aims to explain the ownership and market entry strategies of emerging country multinational enterprises (MNE) in a transition country. To this end, the Turkish MNEs' ownership (joint venture versus wholly owned subsidiary) and entry mode (greenfield versus acquisition) choices for their affiliates in Romania are essentially investigated based on a number of selected case studies. Using qualitative data from semi-structured interviews, this study indicates that a single perspective alone cannot adequately explain the Turkish MNEs' ownership and entry mode strategies for their affiliates in Romania.


Loading dock, factory behind, RR tracks in the foreground. Looking east across the Grand River.
1872: Company founded; incorporated the following year.
1945 – 1957: Company operates as a subsidiary of Sligh-Lowery, but continues to produce furniture under the Grand Rapids Chair name.
1957: Firm is purchased by Baker Furniture Co., but furniture is still produced under the Grand Rapids Chair name.
1973: Factory and assets fully integrated into Baker; furniture no longer made under the Grand Rapids Chair name.
The company was founded by a partnership that included local lumber, sawmill, and furniture baron Charles Carter Comstock as president, along with officers Elisha Foote, Henry Fralick, and S. W. Worden. Elisha Foote ascended to the presidency of the company in 1900, followed by Roger Butterfield in 1920. He was succeeded by Elisha's son F. Stuart Foote, who ran the firm until its sale to Charles R. Sligh, Jr.
Elisha Foote was responsible for bringing John E. Brower, Sr. from New York to Grand Rapids sometime in the 1890s. He served as the company's chief designer until his death in 1915. His son, John M. Brower, started the Brower Furniture Co. in 1919, to manufacture unfinished chairs for Grand Rapids Chair and its sister company, Imperial.
Brower was succeeded in the 1920s by George Fletcher and Carl Hammarstrom, who designed a full range of historical revival lines. Renowned designer Kem Weber created an Art Deco dining and living room group for Grand Rapids Chair Co. in 1928. Grand Rapids Chair Co. designs between 1945 and 1973 often came from staff designers of its parent companies Sligh and Baker. Herbert Ten Have designed the "Cross Country" line.
Early 20th-century ads show both Golden Oak case pieces with serpentine fronts and cabriole legs referencing French historical styles, as well as Mission oak pieces. A 1900 article also lists mahogany, birch, maple, and bird's-eye maple in their lines. Ads from the 1910s and '20s show dining room furniture, living room, and hall furniture, and spinet desks in a wide range of period styles, including Spanish Renaissance, Spanish Gothic, Elizabethan, Jacobean, Georgian, Adam, and Early American. Favored woods were walnut and mahogany. A Tudor line called "Castle Oak" seems to have been a flagship product in the early twenties.
In 1928 Grand Rapids Chair introduced the "Gaylady" Group, which may have been the name for its first modern line by Kem Weber. Its pieces featured the soft lines of French Art Deco, with light and dark contrasting woods and "artistic color treatments." During the 1950s the company made the "High-Lo Table," aimed at newly married couples with small apartments. It featured an adjustable height mechanism, which allowed it to transform from cocktail table to card or dining table. The "Cross Country" line was a modular unit ensemble introduced in 1950 and marketed by Sligh. Its Scandinavian Modern styling and flexibility made it particularly suitable for ranch-style homes. The entire factory was eventually devoted to production of the Cross County line.
Beginning sometime in the 1910s or early 1920s, Grand Rapids Chair Co. adopted a logo that was basically a square frame of molding with chamfered corners that surrounded the words "GRAND RAPIDS CHAIR COMPANY/GRAND RAPIDS/MICHIGAN." These were printed in a distinctive block type, which used triangular shapes for the rounded letters. An elliptical trademark was adopted for the "Dexter" line in the 1940s. The original rectangular logo was updated as a rectangular chiseled plaque in the late 1940s.

The Day the Music Died in South Africa-Black Economic Empowerment
Laura Oneale black economic empowerment, Renate Barnard, south africa corruption	 September 14, 2014
Laura Oneale is the EKP's senior South African correspondent, covering stories in Afrikaans & English. This is Laura's personal blog – her words, thoughts and passion for her beloved South Africa.
Incompetency and the Legal System
While I have no illusions as to how far we must go to enact real change, I remain hopeful that the dialogues our website generates will have a profound consequences on the future of South Africa.
The South African Constitutional Court (Case CCT 01/14) decided that police officer Renate Barnard, was not eligible for promotion within the ranks of the South African Police Service (SAPS).
Renate was not black!
For a long while, there have been rumors about judges in the South African legal system making the most extraordinary rulings, rulings that have no basis in the law-rulings based solely on colour, where the good of the nation's sacrificed for the sake of racial politics.
Under Apartheid, racial laws, never hindered growth.
In the new South Africa the state and nation is sacrificed to advance the warped ideals of the few.
Therein lies the biggest difference between the two discriminatory policies.
Now Renate, will take her battle against the SA Police Service to the United Nations & International Labour Organisation, it has been reported by News 24.
"This comes after the Constitutional Court set aside an order of the Supreme Court of Appeal that the Saps discriminated against the former police officer by not promoting her.
This will be Barnard's last attempt to show that South Africa's employment equity laws are not in line with international conventions on racism, reported The Star.
However, Barnard may run into problems as the conventions do consider the history of racial discrimination in the workplace and that it must be addressed.
Barnard's affirmative action case goes back to 2005 when she applied for the post of lieutenant colonel, which was superintendent according to the old rankings, for the first time, Sapa reports.
She twice applied unsuccessfully for promotion to superintendent within the police's national evaluation services, which deals with complaints by the public and public officials about police services.
Despite recommendations by an interview panel and her divisional commissioner, the national police commissioner did not appoint her to the position on the basis that racial representation at the level of superintendent would be negatively affected.
The position was advertised for a third time, but was withdrawn when Barnard reapplied.
Trade union Solidarity's case against the SAPS, on behalf of Barnard, was referred to the Labour Court. In February 2010 the court ruled in the union's favour.
The court ruled Barnard be promoted retrospectively from 27 July 2006 to superintendent.
In May 2011, the SAPS was granted leave to appeal and in November 2012 the Labour Appeal Court held for the SAPS.
The SCA ruled in November last year in favour of Barnard and the union.
The SAPS then applied for leave to appeal in the Constitutional Court. The court heard the matter in March and judgment was reserved at the time.
Barnard resigned from the police in June. She told reporters on Tuesday she was currently working in the private sector, doing forensic investigations." News 24

‹ The True Motivation behind the ANC's Deal with Communist China: Anti-Western Hatred	› Marxist Dystopia


The Brock men's hockey team snagged their first two OUA wins this weekend, sweeping Windsor and Western. Head coach Marty Williamson earned his first win as the Brock head coach on Friday when the Badgers took down Windsor 4-0.
After close games against Concordia and McGill last weekend, Williamson was happy to see his guys get a win on Friday.
"It's a bit of a process, we've been in every game, so it's nice to finally push one over for them, we're trying to preach confidence, so we're all feeling pretty good tonight," said the coach.
The Badgers and Lancers exchanged seven shots each in the first period, twelve each in the second period, and the Badgers were outshot in the third period 14-11. Being outshot didn't keep the Badgers from capitalizing on their chances.
Clint Windsor earned his second-career shutout with 33 saves on the night. The fourth year goaltender has played all six regular season games for the Badgers thus far, with a .935 save percentage and leads the OUA with 217 saves.
The Badgers carried their good feeling from Friday into Saturday, taking down Western 4-2 to sweep the weekend. They faced another young team in Western — who have 18 underclassmen on their roster, with only nine upperclassmen. The Badgers have 18 upperclassmen on their roster this season, including starting goalie Clint Windsor.
Though the Badgers had more than a handful of shot blocks in the first period on Saturday, they were held to just seven shots compared to Western's 13.
In the second period, the Mustangs beat Windsor just 1:52 into the period when a puck shot by Western's David Eccles went wide and bounced off the boards into Windsor's crease behind him. Windsor was bumped into and pushed into his net before Western's Kolten Olynek shot the puck in, and though the Brock players questioned the non-call on Windsor, the goal counted.
Less than five minutes later, Brock evened the scoring when Mack Lemmon found the back of the net, with helpers from Brandon O'Quinn and Jeff Corbett. Western would regain the lead with 11:53 left in the period after coming down on a 2-on-1, Windsor made a huge save on Cody Brown, but the Badgers couldn't clear the puck, and Matthew Watson sniped one past Windsor on the blocker side from the top of the circle.
In the third period, the Badgers had two 5-on-4 man-advantages, and found the back of the net on the second opportunity, thanks to a rocket from Jeff Corbett on the point — just ten seconds into the power play.
Corbett, who had a goal and an assist on the night, was solid for Brock on the blue line Saturday.
"He was really good, it was nice to get a couple of power play goals in the third, but overall real happy with him," Williamson said of the third-year defensemen.
Brock's Nicholas Santoro took a hooking penalty with 5:31 left in the game, but Western's Jonathan Laser took an interference penalty with 4:12 to go, making it 4-on-4 for 41 seconds. Matt MacLeod sealed the deal for the Badgers with just seconds remaining on the power play after knocking home a rebound off Braden Pears shot from the point.
The Badgers managed 12 shots on Western goaltender Nicholas Legallais in the third period, and held the Mustangs to just five shots — a quick turnaround after having been outshot 31 to 22 through the first two periods.
When asked about having held Western to just five shots in the third, Williamson said the solution was plain and simple.
The Badgers (2-3-1 OUA) will travel to Lakehead this weekend for two games against the Thunderbirds (2-3-1 OUA) on Friday at 7:00 p.m,.and Saturday at 7:00 p.m., before returning home on Wednesday, November 8 to host Ryerson.

--In pursuing these speculations, said the dean conclusively, there is, however, the danger of perishing of inanition. So I saw him as I see the letters I form on this page; then, exactly, after a minute, as if to add to the spectacle, he slowly changed his place--passed, looking at me hard all the while, to the opposite corner of the platform. Our fellow-citizens of the North engaged in navigation find great encouragement in being made the favored carriers of the vast productions of the other portions of the United States, while the inhabitants of these are amply recompensed, in their turn, by the nursery for seamen and naval force thus formed and reared up for the support of our common rights. And out of those ages, to whose polite wisdom and letters we owe that we are not yet Goths and Jutlanders, I could name him who from his private house wrote that discourse to the Parliament of Athens, that persuades them to change the form of democracy which was then established.

She has used it to go over, and then has managed to hide it. They would sing so for hours, melody after melody, glee after glee, till the last pale light died down on the horizon, till the first dark night clouds came forth and night fell. The best way to picture it all is to say that I was off my guard.

We all knew there would be big news today: how could there not be, with Special Counsel Robert Mueller's actions on Friday?
Friday's news dropped a bombshell—that Mueller had entered the first grand jury indictments in his sprawling investigations. That was the first act in a multi-staged process, of course, so today we learned who Mueller's first targets from the Trump campaign are, and what potentially illegal connections he found between them and Russia, especially as those connections relate to last year's presidential election.
Anyone watching the Trump camp these past two years knows that none of its players (including most notably, Trump himself) ever admits guilt about or responsibility for anything, so we're off to an interesting start with these indictments!
So, let's briefly consider the astrology at work in all this. No doubt, much more information will be forthcoming soon, so this will be a quick read, just to establish a framework for deeper exploration down the road.
Unfortunately, we don't have complete birth data for any of the players, with not even a date for Gates and Papadopoulos, so we'll be relying heavily on a noon chart for Paul Manafort, whose April 1, 1949 birth in New Britain, Connecticut is documented on Wikipedia.com. With no birth time, we will have to ignore any information related to his chart angles, houses or Moon placement.
Even so, we'll forge ahead with what we have – there's plenty to explore! Because so much of Mueller's investigation pertains to actions taken during Trump's campaign, and inevitably to Trump himself (whether he wants to admit it or not), the triwheel below sets both those charts against what we know about Paul Manafort. According to news accounts, Trump announced his campaign on June 16, 2015 at 11:08 a.m.—in Trump Tower, of course.
Triwheel #1: (inner wheel) Donald J. Trump, June 14, 1946, 10:54 a.m. DST, Jamaica, NY; (middle wheel) Trump Campaign Announcement, June 16, 2015, 11:08 a.m. DST, New York, NY (news report); (outer wheel) Paul Manafort, April 1, 1949, 12:00 p.m. ST, New Britain, CT. Tropical Equal Houses, True Node.
Interchart Fire Kite: Manafort Venus-Mars-Sun/Node midpoint (all Aries) trines Trump Pluto-Announcement Venus/Jupiter midpoint-Manafort Pluto (Leo) trines Trump Moon-So. Node (Sagittarius). This grand trine is intersected by Manafort's Neptune (Libra), opposite his own Sun, sextile his and Trump's Pluto (Leo), Announcement Venus/Jupiter midpoint and widely sextile Manafort Chiron (Rx, Sagittarius). This mind-boggling fiery circuit of energy likely explains why Manafort would have appealed to Trump as an asset to his campaign. Manafort's strong Aries energy radiates strength, combativeness and the ability to get things done, and those are traits that appeal to Trump. Manafort's timeline with Trump's campaign ranged from March-August, 2016, when he was let go as Trump's campaign manager. Trump's announcement was timed to take maximum advantage of the situation financially (his Pluto conjoins Announcement Venus/Jupiter midpoint), and when Manafort came along in early 2016, he probably struck him as a useful "helper" in this regard.
By August 2016, Manafort's history of lobbying for foreign entities like the corrupt, pro-Russia politicos in Ukraine (to the tune of millions of dollars) had come out in the news, and that made him radioactive. Manafort's willingness to take enormous risks may have been an attractive Aries characteristic, but when Trump himself began feeling the heat, Manafort had to go. He left behind his "right-hand-man," Rick Gates, who took over managing the campaign and even planned Trump's inauguration ceremony. Gates is described in some places as a Manafort "protégé," but he seemed to fly under the media radar for the most part until now.
Neptune's involvement here, turning the grand trine into a Kite configuration, is significant, in that so much of what actually went on during the Trump campaign, especially with Manafort at the lead, is nebulous—and purposely so, it seems. "Alternative facts" have ruled from day one. Manafort basically hid his involvements with pro-Russian lobbying over the years (he only registered retroactively as a foreign agent when his activities came to light in the news), and we still don't know what Trump saw in him as a campaign manager apart from that. Maybe, in fact, Manafort's foreign activities were the appeal for Trump—Trump was still pursuing a big hotel project in Moscow, even as he campaigned for president!
Manafort Uranus (Gemini) conjoins Announcement Sun-Moon and Trump Sun-No. Node, sextiles Trump Mars-ASC (Leo) and opposes Trump Moon-So. Node (Sagittarius). Manafort's Saturn (Virgo) also plays into this configuration through its out-of-sign conjunction with Trump's Mars-ASC, and with Trump's Progressed Sun (Leo). This Sun was on the verge of progressing into Virgo at that point, where it would exactly conjoin Manafort's Saturn, so there appears to be rather fated timing involved in the relationship between these two men.
Reinforcing this notion is Manafort's No. Node (Aries) in close trine to Trump's Mars-ASC, and sextile/trine to Trump's nodal axis. The presence of transiting Uranus applying to Manafort's No. Node (Aries) when Trump announced his candidacy adds another surprising bit of "kismet." In fact, the depth of the connections we're seeing raises a lot of questions. Manafort now stands accused of "conspiracy against the U.S.," and these late Aries points (Manafort's No. Node and transiting Uranus, especially during 2016) square Sibly Pluto at the same time they tie in so comfortably with Trump's Gemini-Sagittarius axis. Trump makes no secret that his goal is to dismantle the Federal government (the so-called "Deep State") as we know it, but to what ultimate end?
Trump's campaign promises always dangled some vague connection between dismantling the government and "mak[ing] America great again," but how the first goal would facilitate the other was never explained. "Believe me, it's going to be great," was a common response to questions. Now we have to wonder how closely Manafort's pro-Russian activities were aligned with Trump's goals. Something to watch going forward.
We can't draw any conclusions yet, but astrologically, we should keep in mind that Vladimir Putin's Sun is exactly conjunct Manafort's Neptune and a few degrees from Trump's Jupiter (all in Libra, charts not shown). If these players weren't already known to have connections, we would probably discount all this as happenstance, but since there are known connections, both direct and indirect, who knows what's at the heart of this tangled maze?
Manafort Jupiter (Capricorn) opposes Trump Saturn-Venus (Cancer), trines Trump MC (Taurus) and inconjoins Trump Mars-ASC (Leo). It's hard to miss that Manafort's Jupiter also conjoins Sibly Pluto, so his lucrative career as a top-level D.C. lobbyist (lucrative enough that he allegedly laundered a lot of money to keep from paying taxes) makes perfect sense—particularly during this administration, given the connections we see here between Manafort, Trump and his campaign.
It was clearly a mutually beneficial relationship up to a point, but the inconjunct between their charts suggests that Trump and Manafort experienced some frustrating encounters along the way, as well. This may be why Manafort was terminated as campaign manager and not simply reassigned.
It's possible that the two men have continued to benefit each other, but it probably became risky to do so from close quarters. We're seeing this type of "long-distance" relationship between Trump and Bannon as well, since Bannon was let go from the White House, so there may be a pattern at work here.
This is just the beginning of a long legal story that will unfold over the rest of Trump's administration. For anyone paying close attention, it's hard to believe that Trump himself is not implicated, however for the moment, he's eluded the net that Mueller's investigation is casting over its first targets. The White House is trying its best to shift the public's focus from Trump onto Trump nemeses Clinton and Obama, but few outside Trump's core base are buying what he's selling. In a future post we'll examine how all this is working against the U.S. Sibly chart—lots to talk about there!
In the meantime, Happy Halloween!!

As Russia rattles sabers, Ukraine's military is long on morale but short on weaponry
A Ukrainian soldier walks along the line of separation between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian rebels in the Donetsk region.
(Andriy Dubchak / Associated Press)
By YURAS KARMANAU
Dec. 10, 2021 2:59 AM PT
KYIV, Ukraine —
When Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimean peninsula and threw its support behind separatists in the country's east more than seven years ago, Kyiv's underfunded and disorganized armed forces struggled to mount a substantial response.
Now, amid fears that a Russian troop buildup near Ukraine's border could signal a possible attack, military experts say Moscow would face stronger resistance this time. But they emphasize that Ukraine would be well short of what it needs to counter Russia's overwhelming land, sea and air superiority.
Still, years of fighting the separatists have given Ukrainian veterans like Col. Viacheslav Vlasenko the battlefield experience for such a fight.
"In case of Russian aggression, I will have no choice — every Ukrainian is ready to die with arms in hands," said the highly decorated 53-year-old Vlasenko. "Ukraine will never become a part of Russia. If we have to prove it to the Kremlin that Ukraine has the right for freedom and independence, we are ready for it."
While Western military assistance has remained limited, Kyiv has received state-of-the-art foreign weaponry, including sophisticated U.S. anti-tank missiles and Turkish drones, to give Ukrainian forces a stronger punch than they had in years past.
Vlasenko, who spent 4½ years battling the rebels in the east in a conflict that has killed more than 14,000 people, said the country now has thousands of highly motivated and battle-hardened troops.
As warnings fly between U.S. and Russia, how real is the threat of war in Ukraine?
So far, tensions between Washington and Moscow over Ukraine have been restricted to a war of words, but could it flare into something more dangerous?
"We Ukrainians are defending our land, and there is no place for us to retreat," said Vlasenko, adding that he takes his 13-year-old son to target practice so that he knows "who our enemy is and learns to defend himself and fight back."
Earlier this week, President Volodymyr Zelensky praised Ukraine's soldiers on a visit to an area near the conflict zone to mark a military holiday.
"Ukrainian servicemen are continuing to perform their most important mission — to protect the freedom and sovereignty of the state from the Russian aggressor," Zelensky said.
U.S. intelligence officials have determined that Russia has moved 70,000 troops near Ukraine's border and has made preparations for a possible invasion early next year. Moscow denies any plans to attack Ukraine, rejecting Western concerns as part of a smear campaign.
What's behind the tensions between Russia and Ukraine? An explainer
Ukrainian and Western officials are worried about a Russian military buildup near Ukraine, mindful of Moscow's annexation of Crimea in 2014.
On Tuesday, President Biden warned Russian President Vladimir Putin in a videoconference that Moscow would face "economic consequences like you've never seen" if it invades Ukraine, although he noted that Washington would not deploy its military forces there.
Putin reaffirmed his denial of planning to attack Ukraine but emphasized that NATO's possible expansion to include Ukraine was a "red line" for Moscow.
If Russia attacks its neighbor, the 1 million-member Russian military would inevitably overwhelm Ukraine's armed forces, which number about 255,000. But in addition to a promised heavy economic blow from Western sanctions, Russia would also stand to suffer significant military losses that would dent Putin's image at home.
Ukrainian veterans and military analysts say the country won't surrender territory without a fight this time, unlike in 2014 in Crimea, where Russian troops in unmarked uniforms faced virtually no resistance in overtaking the Black Sea peninsula.
Trump froze military aid — as Ukrainian soldiers perished in battle
Although there is no way to link deaths directly to the lack of aid, military officials and other Ukrainians say they felt temporarily abandoned by their foremost ally: Washington.
"Ukraine will not become easy prey for the Russians. There will be a bloodbath," Vlasenko said. "Putin will get hundreds and thousands of coffins floating from Ukraine to Russia."
Weeks after annexing Crimea, Russia began supporting the separatist uprising in Ukraine's eastern industrial heartland, known as the Donbas. Ukraine and the West have accused Russia of supplying the rebels with troops and weapons, accusations that Moscow has denied, saying that any Russians fighting there were volunteers.
A series of bruising military defeats forced Ukraine to sign a 2015 peace agreement, brokered by France and Germany, that envisaged broad autonomy for the separatist regions and a sweeping amnesty for the rebels. The deal was seen by many in Ukraine as a betrayal of its national interests. While it has helped end large-scale fighting, frequent skirmishes have continued amid a political deadlock.
Mykola Sunhurovskyi, a top military analyst for the independent Kyiv-based think tank the Razumkov Center, said the Ukrainian military has made much progress in recent years, thanks to Western equipment and training.
Putin accuses U.S. and Britain of being behind Black Sea 'provocation'
Russian President Vladimir Putin says a U.S. reconnaissance plane was operating in concert with a British destroyer that sailed through the Black Sea.
"The army today is much stronger than it was in early 2014, and Russia will face serious resistance," he said.
Western aid included Javelin anti-tank missiles and patrol boats supplied by the U.S. The U.S. and other NATO forces have conducted joint drills with the Ukrainian military that have vexed Russia. Last month, Ukraine signed an agreement with Britain for building naval bases on the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.
Sunhurovskyi said the assistance is still not enough.
"The military aid given by the West is far from what Ukraine needs," he said, adding that its slow pace was also a key problem. "The assistance is needed within two months, not two or three years. There are huge gaps in the Ukrainian military potential that need to be taken care of."

Sunhurovskyi pointed in particular to Ukraine's air defenses.
"The air-defense system isn't ready for repelling massive airstrikes by Russia," he said, adding that Ukraine also lacks advanced electronic warfare systems and has a shortage of artillery and missiles.
Morale is not a problem. "From the point of view of combat spirit, Ukraine is ready for war, but there are issues with the technological level of the Ukrainian military, which is below what is needed to deter Russia from launching an attack," he said.
Zelensky said Ukraine's military "has come a difficult way to the creation of a highly capable and highly organized combat structure that is confident of its potential and capable of derailing any aggressive plans by the enemy." On Thursday, he spoke with Biden, who briefed him on the discussion with Putin.
On Unity Day, Vladimir Putin proclaims Crimea will forever be a part of Russia
Russian President Vladimir Putin travels to Crimea to mark the national Unity Day holiday and declares the region will always be a part of Russia.
The analysts also said Russia would have to be prepared for a nationwide resistance campaign from Ukrainian veterans after any invasion.
"If it launches an aggression, Russia will face a large-scale guerrilla war in Ukraine, and the infrastructure for it has already been set," said Volodymyr Fesenko, head of the Kyiv-based Penta think tank. "Thousands of Ukrainian soldiers served in the east, and there is a local hero in every courtyard who fought the separatists and the Russians."

City of Birmingham offers new pilot scheme to help homeless people thrive
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) – Safe sleep is probably something you take for granted, but it's far from a given, especially for our homeless neighbors. Now the City of Birmingham is stepping up its efforts to improve the lives of these residents.
The city sees the Safe Sleep pilot program as much more than just a temporary housing project. They hope that through the pilot program and the community partnership, they will not only provide places to live, but they will provide opportunities for residents to improve themselves and their circumstances.
"It is a crucial problem. It allows us to encounter something immediate, but it also allows us to think about the way forward," said Birmingham Community Development Director Dr Meghan Venable Thomas.
In the city leader's mind, this will include access to health care and programs that could lead to jobs and careers.
"We are thinking about case management, workforce development, health and mental health services in this pilot project as we try to think about the needs of these people and how which we meet those needs," said Dr. Thomas.
The city council will vote Tuesday on whether to approve the program. If the new program passes, they will work with Pallet Shelter to create up to 100 micro-shelters. The city would then issue a request for proposals to find out who and in what capacity the various organizations plan to help.
"This RFP posting, which will activate our utility providers, and anyone else interested in collaborating to create a proposal to support homeless residents with these micro-shelters and wrap-around services," said said Dr. Thomas.
The city intends to use grants to make the pilot project a reality.
"We will be supporting funding for this through our CDBG grant, as well as thinking about operational funding through our community development grant. So at this time we don't have the exact number, but we will work with our operational vendors to see what their budgets will be, to then be able to respond to what those budgets will be," said Dr. Thomas .
As for when we might see these temporary homes or micro-shelters, Dr. Thomas says we likely won't see any ribbon cuttings until at least May. All of this is still awaiting City Council approval.

Daimler targets carbon-neutrality by 2039
by Autocar Pro News Desk , 14 May 2019
Daimler is pushing ahead its transformation to have emission-free mobility in the next 20 years. Sustainability being one of the key elements of Daimler's corporate strategy, the future chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler, Ola Kallenius, who at present is still responsible for Group Research and Mercedes-Benz Cars Development as a member of the Board of Management at Daimler, has presented the targets for the car division under the 'Ambition2039' strategy.
Kallenius shared his vision and outlined some of the steps that the company will take to achieve the vision of being carbon neutral at a recent media event. The company has set a target for its car division under the heading 'Ambition2039', which aims to have a carbon-neutral new passenger car fleet in 20 years.
"Let's be clear what this means for us: a fundamental transformation of our company within less than three product cycles. That's not much time when you consider that fossil fuels have dominated our business since the invention of the car by Carl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler some 130 years ago. Our way to sustainable mobility is innovation – in a holistic approach along the entire value chain," said Kallenius.
He said by 2030 the company will have electric models make up more than half of the Daimler's car sales – that includes all-electric cars and plug-in hybrids.
"Our R&D team is working together with established partners and startups alike to bring EV performance up and costs down. Our approach also includes the continuous development of our mobility services, to spread the use of electric models. In addition to cars, we're also electrifying our vans, trucks and buses. And the modular development enables the rapid transfer of technology between our divisions. Our current focus is on battery-electric mobility. But there's also room and need to continue to work on other solutions, for example, the fuel cell or eFuels," said Kallenius.
He said Daimler's GLC F-Cell technology is find application in city buses. "Today, no one knows for sure which drivetrain mix will best serve our customers' needs 20 years from now. That's why we encourage policy makers to pave the way for tech neutrality: Let's fix the target, but not the means to achieve it," suggested Kallenius.
Having carbon-neutral production right from suppliers
Daimler says it is looking to have a carbon-neutral production, for which the company's Factory 56 is a blueprint. The new facility at Sindelfingen plant uses renewable energy and will be CO2-neutral right from the start. This the company says will be followed across all its European plants by 2022. "A holistic view on carbon cutting also includes the recycling of raw materials. Mercedes cars have a potential recycling ratio of 85 percent. So, we are moving from a value chain to a value cycle," said Kallenius.
He further shared that the company will also drive its supply chain partners to follow Daimler's ambition and get them to comply with the carmakers objective of carbon-neutrality. The Daimler boss revealed that the company at present is conducting workshops with its suppliers to identify effective CO2 reduction measures. And going forward it will establish CO2 targets as one key criteria in making supplier decisions and contracts across all major commodities.

A Rising Market Pushes Affiliated Managers Group Higher
Growth for the asset manager has come from smart strategic moves.
Dan Caplinger
(TMFGalagan)
Follow @@DanCaplinger
For Affiliated Managers Group (NYSE:AMG), strength in the financial markets helps its asset management business in many ways. Not only do good returns bring in more clients, but the asset base against which the company charges its management fees grows of its own accord during bull markets. Yet even when times haven't been as good for the markets, AMG has demonstrated a competitive advantage in keeping clients satisfied.
Coming into Monday's second-quarter financial report, AMG shareholders expected that solid market conditions would foster further growth, and the company largely gave those investors what they were looking to see. Yet the bigger question that Affiliated Managers Group addressed was how it intends to move forward with its fast-growing business. Let's look more closely at Affiliated Managers Group and what's ahead for the asset manager.
Image source: Affiliated Managers Group.
AMG sees green
Affiliated Managers Group's second-quarter results were solid. Revenue rose 3% to $570.9 million, which was just a bit slower than the 3.5% growth rate that most investors were hoping to see. Economic net income was higher by 13% to $188.7 million, and the corresponding adjusted earnings of $3.33 per share topped the $3.24 per share consensus forecast among those following the stock.
Taking a closer look at AMG's numbers, the asset manager was able to reverse investor outflows from the first quarter, bringing in more money than left the company during the most recent period. Net inflows companywide were $1.8 billion, with the best performance coming from the alternative space, which brought in a net of $4.7 billion. Interestingly, the U.S. equities portion of AMG's business fared the worst, suffering outflows of $3.2 billion, but interest in global equities and multi-asset strategies also helped to bolster the asset manager's fund flows. For the quarter, Affiliated Managers Group finished with $772.1 billion in assets under management, with favorable markets adding $15.6 billion to the total.
Crucial to AMG's overall performance was the continuing success of its cost-cutting efforts. Declines in overhead expenses were especially useful in offsetting higher compensation costs, and a reduction in impairment charges helped send overall operating expenses down slightly for the quarter. A slight rise in interest expense ate into those gains, but it wasn't enough to take away the positive benefits of the work AMG has done.
CEO Sean Healey believes that AMG is doing very well because of its overall vision. "Through the ongoing execution of our growth strategy, including consistent alpha generation by our affiliates, positive organic growth from net flows, and the continued success of our strategy to partner with the leading boutique firms worldwide," Healey said, "we have meaningfully increased the earnings power of our business."
What's ahead for AMG?
Affiliated Managers Group also sees plenty of runway left toward further growth. In the CEO's words, "In a dynamic market environment, our affiliates are well-positioned to outperform peers and benchmarks, building further on their long-term track records of leading investment performance. With our affiliates' outstanding offerings across attractive alpha-oriented product areas, we have excellent prospects for continued strong organic growth going forward."
The unique thing about AMG is how its business model gives it the opportunity to profit in two different ways. The company gets the typical revenue from management fees and incentives earned in management agreements. However, Affiliated Managers Group also takes equity positions in the boutique investment companies that are its partners, and so when one particular investment firm does well, AMG reaps the firm-specific rewards. At the same time, AMG also values the need for investment companies to be autonomous, and its philosophy allows its affiliates to maintain an entrepreneurial spirit that might otherwise be lost in a large combined enterprise.
Affiliated Managers Group shareholders were pleased with the news, and the stock climbed more than 2% in the first hour of trading following the announcement. With forward progress from its strategic vision, AMG seems almost not to need favorable market conditions in order to make the most of its business opportunities going forward.

What we now know about food, particularly meat but also vegetables, is that it's not just the meat you're eating, it's what that animal ate when it was being reared that really matters.
I get questioned a lot on the value of organic food and I say this to you now, "I don't want to eat a cow that's been fed junk, it's been fed corn or grain." There's a huge environmental impact to feeding our animals corn and grain anyway. I want to eat a grass-fed cow if I'm going to have some beef. I also want to eat animal that's been organically raised, that's been free-ranging, and was a happy animal; as happy as it could be, knowing well, ultimately, it's going to get slaughtered and eaten.
One of the reasons for that, if you don't care about some of the other moral and philosophical issues, is that an animal that's been unkindly treated, and is very stressed when it was put to death, is going to be riddled with a stress hormone cortisol. That affects the quality and the taste of the meat.
I think it's important to think about what you eat/ate and go back one step in the food chain. It's the same for vegetables, I don't want to eat vegetables that have been sprayed with herbicides and pesticides. That's just not good for us, we know that has an impact on our endocrine system, which is the body's hormones, we know that it can cause a lot of problems. I avoid vegetables that have been sprayed, in fact I'm in the process of growing my own. We have ordered a vegetable box now for two or three weeks, which is very pleasing.
The ultimate message here is, think about the provenance of the food and consider provenance over price. Try not to get swept into the buy three for two and the cheapness of food, the way it's marketed to us now. Think about spending a little bit more on a really good quality grass-fed piece of beef, for example. Or some well reared organic free-range chicken.
Nothing that's been sprayed on, nothing that was very stressed, products that have just genuinely been looked after. And focus on that when you're eating a meal as well, slow it all down, chew and eat mindfully, really enjoy having the best food that you can possibly give yourself.

This is another piece from the Patrick Rothfuss series. It is the scene where the main character, Kvothe, and his crew come across Felurian. (It is in the second book and I will spoil it no further, though it says in the jacket notes that he has an encounter with the fairie.) Anyway... the scene stuck out to me as particularly vivid and I chose it for the subject matter of yet another Photoshop painting. Enjoy please!
So I just figured out i could click on the pics and they get bigger, which really makes a difference in this one since there is more than one entity in the scene. Beautiful, sir.
What a beautiful picture!! I agree with macguffinmovies....really have to see the larger image to get a full appreciation for the scene.

John Slattery, Allison Tolman, Rafe Spall to Star in Hulu Comedy 'Kansas City'
The politically themed pilot was written by Zev Borow ('Chuck').
Hulu is looking to find comedy in a politically divided world.
The streamer is near a deal for the comedy pilot Kansas City and, ahead of its official pickup, has locked in John Slattery, Allison Tolman and Rafe Spall to star.
From writer Zev Borow (Chuck), Kansas City is set in a modern U.S. riven by cultural and political divisions, so much so that it has chosen to split itself into two nations. One Missouri city, however, was too evenly divided to align with either side, so Kansas City split in two: the liberal East K.C. and conservative West K.C., with a wall built to divide the sides. The comedy will explore the rivalry between the two.
Spall (The Big Short, Life of Pi) stars as Ben Graham, a citizen of East K.C. who has wearily resigned himself to only being able to see his 15-year-old daughter, Clarissa — who lives in West K.C. — a few hours a day until he is approached about being a spy.
Slattery (Mad Men, Spotlight) will play Ellis Brookmeyer, Ben's former father-in-law and the last mayor of unified Kansas City. Brookmeyer is the leading funder of West K.C.'s secret police and will stop at nothing to bring East K.C. to its knees.
Tolman (Fargo, Brooklyn Nine-Nine) will play Tabatha Brookmeyer, Ben's ex-wife and the mother of their daughter. She left Ben and East K.C. to live with their daughter in West K.C. Her motivations then, and now, are complicated — as is her fraught relationship with her father, Ellis.
Borow will pen the script and executive produce the Sony Pictures Television single-camera comedy alongside Amblin's Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey. Rhys Thomas is on board to direct the pilot, which is near a formal order at Hulu.
Kanas City arrives as the streamer is refining its approach to scripted programming after the breakout success of Emmy winner The Handmaid's Tale. Hulu continues to look for programming that can strike a chord and be part of the cultural conversation. Its comedy roster includes Future Man (also from Sony) and PEN15.
Spall is repped by Troika and UTA; Slattery is with Gersh and Untitled; and Tolman is repped by UTA and Odenkirk Provissiero. Borow, whose credits include Lethal Weapon, Mad Dogs and Forever, is with UTA and Morris Yorn.

EXTREMELY COOL TRUE 3D SPIDERMAN & WOLVERINE HOLOGRAMS.
These holograms were created in the laboratory of Polaroid Holographics in Cambridge MA in the 1990s. The images were created from a beautifully sculpted same size models of Spiderman & Wolverine, with spidey web & wolverine claws appearing to slash directly out of the film, which under the correct light projects almost 1" into the viewer space!!
This is a true 3D true film hologram and must be viewed under a quality illumination source to be seen in it's full glory, which can be direct sunlight (not in shadow or behind a cloud), halogen light, streetlamp at night, single LED etc. It will work in diffuse such as fluorescent or shadow light but not well.
The hologram visible in the matte is 2.125" X 3.375" showing through the black paperboard matte with outside dimensions of 5" X 7". The films color is red, though the hologram are green/gold monochromatic images. These images are matted and packaged in a clear cello protective wrap. We have quite a number of these on hand so will be re-listing and offering the same image eventually as other products as well.
If you have any interest in holograms, this is a must-have for a great price!

Cari Champion (born June 1, 1975) is an American broadcast journalist and television personality. She is the host of The Cari Champion Show on Amazon Prime Video Sports Talk. She has worked as an anchor and reporter for the Tennis Channel and as the host of ESPN2's First Take. In July 2014, Champion became an anchor for ESPN's flagship program SportsCenter. After almost eight years at the network, she left ESPN in February 2020. From August 2020 to February 2021, she co-hosted Cari & Jemele (Won't) Stick to Sports with Jemele Hill on the Vice on TV network.

Early life
Champion was born in June 1975 and raised in Pasadena, California. Champion attended the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where she majored in English and minored in mass communications. She wrote for the Daily Bruin and was inspired to pursue a career in journalism by UCLA alumni, including Matea Gold of the Washington Post, who was the editor in chief of the student newspaper. Champion was drawn to journalism with goals of transforming negative stereotypes of African Americans: "I wanted to give people a voice that didn't have a voice. I'm always fighting for the underdog. I don't know where I got it from, but I've been like that all my life. That's why I love journalism." In her junior year, she studied in Washington, D.C. and earned an internship at CNN. Champion graduated from UCLA in 2000, with an English degree.

Career

Early broadcasting work
Champion began her broadcasting career at several television stations. She moved to West Virginia for her first reporting job. She later said of working there: "I was a one-man-band carrying a camera and a tripod and that was God-awful. But I loved it because I wanted to do it. I always wanted to be a reporter." She was a reporter at the Orange County Newschannel in Santa Ana, California before joining WPTV-TV in West Palm Beach, Florida in the same capacity in 2002.

In November 2007, while working as an anchor for WGCL-TV in Atlanta, Champion was fired for allegedly uttering a profanity over the air. She appealed the firing and said in an interview for the Maynard Institute that the floor director had not cued her and her co-anchor following a commercial break, and that the microphone picked up a conversation they were having about an unhandy mechanical screenwriter: "I called the screenwriter a 'mothersucka' not the f-bomb." She was rehired in January 2008, but left shortly after in March for a broadcasting job outside of Atlanta.

After moving to Florida, Champion covered news such as human interest stories and devastating hurricanes in the state. While working as a reporter there, she developed an affinity for tennis after covering players such as Venus and Serena Williams: "They made me love the sport even more. They opened the door to tennis for so many different people." She subsequently auditioned for the Tennis Channel's burgeoning news department and was one of three women selected from a pool of more than fifty candidates. She joined the network in 2009. Champion worked as a courtside reporter, and anchored the channel's Court Report news segment. She also worked as an entertainment reporter for the Starz network and shows such as The Insider and Hollywood 411.

Career at ESPN

On October 1, 2012, Champion joined ESPN as the new host of ESPN2's live debate show First Take. She was hired over Heidi Watney and Jemele Hill for the job. As the show's host, she moderated debates between sports pundits Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith, who she said had "the biggest, strongest personalities in the building". After proposing ideas for stories to ESPN, Champion made her journalistic debut for the network on November 4, 2014, when she profiled and interviewed American football quarterback Cam Newton in a segment for E:60. That same day, she was the target of racist and sexist tweets from comedian Artie Lange, who jokingly portrayed himself and Champion in a sexual fantasy set during slavery. Lange tweeted an apology to Champion the following day and ESPN issued a statement to Sports Illustrated that rebuked Lange's tweets, while Champion did not respond publicly.

After petitioning ESPN for six months to become an anchor on SportsCenter, Champion was promoted to the position in June 2015. She hosted her last episode of First Take on June 19 and began anchoring morning editions of SportsCenter in July.
