Salon Recap
After months of inspiration, thinking, and fine-tuning, the In/Visible Talks Team is pleased to present Our Manifesto.
A manifesto serves as a creative framework through which you can uncover and communicate your beliefs. Personal and filled with passion, it is a call to action and an invitation for others who agree with you to join together, to become part of something, and to take action. Manifestos are deeper and bigger and juicier than mission and value statements, and we challenged ourselves to write one because we believe there's no better way to get to the core of what we believe and what we aspire to become.
As part of the creative process, we studied iconic as well as contemporary models that have inspired and motivated us. We wrote from a place that was personal, raw, real, heart-centered, wild, and passionate. We debated the merits of each word, then fine-tuned every beat till it felt authentically In/Visible. We shared our manifesto at In/Visible Talks 2020, and now we're ready to share it with all of you.
We hope our manifesto will inspire us all to create space for the possibilities, fresh ideas, provocative dialogues, and innovative thinking needed to keep pace with the ever-expanding boundaries of "design".
At In/Visible Talks, we believe we must…
Be passionate about making the invisible visible.
Design is not magic, but a practice comprised of hard work, craft, and expertise. Let's reveal the tricks and the truths, the behind-the-scenes, and share them with each other.
Show up in generous ways.
This means being generous with our time, our resources, our knowledge, and our introductions. Encourage others to do the same so we all rise.
Get to know each other, really.
As we connect, we cultivate greater opportunities to come together in more intentional and influential ways. The world needs more creative voices; our future depends on it. This future will be better because of our combined power to shape it.
Define the field of design broadly.
We see a fluid, evolving definition that recognizes the state of the world, the evolution of technology, and the expansion of our field in ways we have yet to discover.
Keep the community open and inclusive.
We want everyone who wishes to be here and can show up meaningfully with respect to others to join in. We believe our community is better for this collective nature.
Seek out opportunities to cross-pollinate and collaborate.
We must never assume our expertise exempts us from the benefits of learning from others. Our work gets better when we are exposed to perspectives that are different from our own.
Practice curiosity.
We are curious about the world around us, the tools available to us, and the fountain of knowledge, ideas, concepts, and unbridled creativity shared by others. We are open to ideas. And it is through this practice that we refuel our creative reserves and inspire others.
Bring our whole selves to the work.
It is our responsibility to use our creative minds and passionate hearts to solve problems, fix things that are broken, and create new things that take our breath away with their innovation, purpose, and beauty.
Give ourselves permission to create.
We believe in having big, bold, crazy ideas, in going too far, and in simply trying and experimenting. It is all part of the work. Most important, we believe in learning and growing through all of the chaos, struggle, and dreams that make up the creative process.

Description: Return a Promise object to observe when all actions of a certain type bound to the collection, queued or not, have finished.
The type of queue that needs to be observed.
By default, type is "fx", which means the returned Promise is resolved when all animations of the selected elements have completed.
Resolve context and sole argument is the collection onto which .promise() has been called.
If target is provided, .promise() will attach the methods onto it and then return this object rather than create a new one. This can be useful to attach the Promise behavior to an object that already exists.
Note: The returned Promise is linked to a Deferred object stored on the .data() for an element. Since the.remove() method removes the element's data as well as the element itself, it will prevent any of the element's unresolved Promises from resolving. If it is necessary to remove an element from the DOM before its Promise is resolved, use .detach() instead and follow with .removeData() after resolution.
// Will fire right away and alert "true"


Settlements totaling $12,675,000 have been reached today by the Archdiocese of Chicago and 16 survivors of sexual abuse by priests. All of the survivors in this settlement are represented by the law firms of Jeff Anderson & Associates, P.A., St. Paul, Minn. and Kerns, Frost & Pearlman, Chicago. Fourteen of the cases relate to abuse by ten different priests that occurred between the years of 1962 and 1994, and two relate to Daniel J. McCormack, who pled guilty in 2007 to having abused five children. With this settlement, the Archdiocese now has settled four of the five cases for which McCormack pled guilty.
"My hope is that these settlements will help the survivors and their families begin to heal and move forward," said Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I., Archbishop of Chicago. "I apologize again today to the survivors and their families and to the whole Catholic community. We must continue to do everything in our power to ensure the safety of the children in our care."
The settlements were reached through a comprehensive mediation process designed by the Archdiocese and attorneys for the survivors, Jeff Anderson and Marc Pearlman. The parties sought to achieve prompt and fair resolution of the survivors' cases. Key elements of the process include sharing of documents and information, specific procedures for mediation of the cases, public disclosure of information and use of a special arbitrator to resolve disputes. Thomas Gibbons, an attorney and dean of the School of Continuing Studies, Northwestern University, serves as the mediator and Stuart Nudelman, a retired judge, is the special arbitrator.
"The mediation process with the Archdiocese of Chicago was particularly effective because of the courage of the survivors and the personal involvement of Cardinal George," said Anderson, attorney for the survivors in Chicago and other dioceses across the nation. "Cardinal George was actively involved in this process. He has demonstrated his commitment to healing these survivors. The release of his deposition today is a significant step toward openness and transparency and helps the survivors and the church community in healing and recovery."
"This mediation process sets a standard for best practices and can serve as a model for future mediations," said Gibbons. "I would like to acknowledge the efforts of all the people who worked so hard and overcame many obstacles to achieve this result for the survivors."
The names and status of the 11 priests involved in the settlement are as follows: Robert C. Becker, deceased in 1989; Joseph R. Bennett, removed from ministry in 2006; Robert Craig, resigned in 1993; James C. Hagan, resigned in 1997; Thomas F. Kelly, deceased in 1990; Norbert Maday, removed from ministry in 1993 and in prison; Robert E. Mayer, resigned in 1994; Daniel J. McCormack, removed from ministry in 2006 and in prison; Joseph Owens, resigned in 1970; Kenneth C. Ruge, deceased in 2002; and James Steel, resigned in 1992.

Q: Add Rows to Table With Macro I've read the answer given here but haven't been able to modify the code to allow me to insert \hline between each row added to my table.
How can the code by modified to insert \hline each time a new row is defined?
So there would be a line between R1C1 | R1C2 and R2C1 | R2C2 just like there's a line between the headers and the main table contents.

A: The insertion of \@gobble at the start of \foorows in the linked answer is meant to gobble the first & of the row. You can insert \hline just before that to always insert a horizontal rule with every \addtotable:

\documentclass{article}

\newcommand\foorows{}

\makeatletter
\newcommand\addtotable[1]{%
  \g@addto@macro\foorows{\hline\@gobble}% Insert horizontal rule and gobble first &
  \@for\tmp:=#1\do{%
    \expandafter\g@addto@macro\expandafter\foorows
      \expandafter{\expandafter&\tmp}%
  }%
  \g@addto@macro\foorows{\\}%
}
\makeatother

\begin{document}

\addtotable{R1C1,R1C2,R1C3,R1C4}
\addtotable{R2C1,R2C2,R2C3,R2C4}

\begin{table}[htp]
  \centering
  \begin{tabular}{ |c|c|c|c| }
    \hline
    Header 1 & Header 2 & Header 3 & Header 4 \\ \hline % Header row
    \foorows
    \hline
  \end{tabular}
\end{table}

\end{document}

You can still support your local suppliers in lockdown. Photo: File
FoodApril 7, 2020
How to support small local food businesses during the lockdown
The way we buy our food has changed hugely since the lockdown began. Small New Zealand producers have taken a massive hit, closing stores and struggling with online demand. Here are some ways shoppers can help these businesses.
In the first week of lockdown, shoppers panicked. It was a perfectly natural response to the fear that supplies, food and otherwise may be in short stock in the coming month, despite the constant reassurance from government, suppliers and sellers that this would not be the case.
Now that we're almost two weeks into alert level four, things have calmed slightly, and many more small local food businesses have joined the online marketplace to try to ease some of the pressure on supermarkets and keep their small businesses afloat.
If you want to save yourself some time in the supermarket line or just help to save a local business, check these ones out.
Delivereat
As one long list of all the suppliers that have home delivery services, delivereat is helping to cut out the middle man (supermarkets). There are 424 independent Kiwi businesses listed on delivereat with products ranging from fruit and vegetables to pet food to personal hygiene goods.
It's super hard to secure a space on the click-and-collect or delivery services at supermarkets right now, and those spots should be left for people who, for health reasons, can't risk going to the supermarket. Delivereat is an alternative to that, where you can buy all the grocery items you need, straight from the source.
Hawke's Bay Farmers' Market
This one's just for our Hawke's Bay whānau. If you were a fan of the HB or Napier urban farmers' markets every weekend, you don't have to stop buying from your favourite local producers because of the lockdown.
The farmers' market website has compiled a handy list of all the stallholders who are continuing to sell through home delivery, online shops and those being stocked in mainstream supermarkets.
Spring Collective
Based on a 20-acre farm in Leeston, 30km southwest of Christchurch, the Spring Collective has had one of its busiest seasons yet, putting together delivery boxes of seasonal produce – fruit and vegetables. Usually they would sell at farmers markets, restaurants, wholesalers and with vege boxes, but under lockdown, most of those options aren't available.
If you live in Christchurch or a Canterbury town, you can support the Spring Collective by signing up to a vege box subscription, delivered once a week. There are a few options for the amount of produce you can get, it's all certified organic and they provide a list of what's in season with every order, so you can have a peek at what might be coming your way.
Shepherdess
The website filled with stories of rural wāhine doing amazing things has compiled a list of some great rural food businesses doing delivery all over the country. From butcheries to fruit sellers and dairy to gourmet mushrooms, you'll find a lot of cool small businesses doing what they can to survive the lockdown. There are heaps of lower North Island-based businesses on this list, so if that's where you're isolating, this article could help you out.
SOS Cafe
Set up especially to help cafes during the level four lockdown, SOS Cafe aims to help keep small cafes afloat while they're not legally allowed to open their doors. The basic concept is just like a voucher: select which cafe you would like to support from the hundreds available, pay what you would like, and then select to either donate that money or have it to use as a voucher when the cafes open again. All of the proceeds go straight to the cafes.
The Pandemic Pack
The Pandemic Pack is a group of Wellington hospitality owner-operators who banded together to launch a delivery platform before the alert level four restrictions came in. The lockdown has put those plans on hold, but the group has just launched a cookbook featuring 41 recipes from 16 different Wellington businesses. It's available as an e-book on a pay-as-you-feel model, with a suggested base price of $10.
Eat New Zealand
The food collective Eat New Zealand is regularly updating its Facebook page with cool ways to support local food businesses around the country, so keep an eye on it.
The Spinoff's food section is made possible with the support of our friends at Nando's.
Nando's chicken is marinated in PERi-PERi for 24 hours, then flame grilled to perfection. Get your PERi-PERi fix today.

Alexandra Tricozzi (CON BSN '13) attributes her professional success as a Certified Pediatric Nurse to the well versed preparation she received as a Spartan. In the following, Tricozzi shares some of her experiences that has guided her success.
Q: Where are you working now? What is your title and or nursing specialty?
Q: How did your education at the College of Nursing prepare you for this role?
A: The College taught me the necessary skills and knowledge to become an entry level RN, but also provoked my interest in professional advancement and involvement in the community. The College has numerous opportunities that allow for personal growth if one is determined enough to seek these out. I personally became involved in research with Dr. Barbara Given, was class representative and Vice President of the College of Nursing Student Advisory Council, nursing student ambassador, and member of the Alpha Psi chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International. All of these experiences made me a competitive candidate when applying for nursing positions nationwide. I was fortunate enough to be selective when choosing where to begin my career.
Q: What made you decide to become a nurse?
A: Honestly, I changed my major seven times while at Michigan State! I am chronically indecisive, but ultimately felt nursing was the greatest fit to fulfill both my need for continuous learning and my passion to help others.
Q: Why did you choose MSU to obtain your nursing degree?
A: I knew I wanted to attend a Big Ten school, and I chose Michigan State University due to its gorgeous campus scenery, wide array of opportunities and experiences for any major, and the academic scholarship I received from the Honors College. I was excited to begin college, but I really didn't't know much about MSU prior to moving. Now, I can honestly say that I am homesick EVERYDAY for Michigan State for a variety of reasons but am so blessed to have had the opportunity to attend such an outstanding institution. GO GREEN!
Q: What is the most rewarding aspect about your work as a nurse?
A: I have always had a passion for children, and I love building relationships with my patients and families that have long-term stays on our unit. It is extremely rewarding to see the children overcome physical and emotional obstacles and sometimes "defy science" when conquering certain illnesses. I am so blessed and honored to be able to take care of these children and be a small part of their cherished lives!
Q: What gives you the greatest sense of professional accomplishment?
A: A little over a year ago, I knew I wanted to work with children and had heard about nurse residencies. I Google searched the term "pediatric nurse residency," and Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas appeared on the webpage. I visited their website to learn more about the program. I quickly learned that it is a competitive program, and rightfully so!
Cook Children's Medical Center currently has the nation's only accredited, pediatric nurse residency program. I decided to apply and ended up receiving an interview via Skype. It was the most difficult interview I have experienced! Several weeks later they offered me the position to be a Nurse Resident. I was elated until I was told I had 24 hours to make a decision - I had never even been to Texas! I followed what my gut was telling me, and three weeks later, I moved to Fort Worth, Texas.
I am no longer considered a "Nurse Resident" as it is a year-long program that I have since graduated from. However, I am so thankful for the experience because I feel it QUICKLY shaped me into a competent, well-rounded nurse. The first six months of the program allowed me to rotate through various units including the endocrine floor, hematology and oncology unit, transitional and rehabilitation care unit, pediatric intensive care unit, neonatal intensive care unit, emergency department, and operating room. As well as working on these units, the first six months of the program include a scheduled class day every two weeks. These classes were vital as they allowed us to debrief about our experiences and actively learn via simulations. The next six months nurse residents are placed on a unit via the needs of the hospital. I was the nurse resident that was placed in the Operating Room!
I learned so many unique skills (and life lessons) while working there and am proud that I am able to circulate pediatric surgical cases. I now work on the floor I was most passionate about while doing my rotations- the transitional care and rehabilitation unit. One side of our floor has many children (mostly babies) who have tracheostomy tubes and are either being weaned from the ventilator or whose parents are being trained to go home with their child on a ventilator. I love the education piece of this area as well as working closely with the Respiratory Therapists. The other side of our floor has a physical therapy gym in the middle of the unit and a big dry erase board with our children's schedules for the day; most patients have a combination of physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and school.
The teamwork on our unit is truly amazing and every healthcare professional has a true passion for helping these children achieve their greatest potential.
I became Pediatric Advanced Life Support certified, and I have nearly 50 continuing education units due to outstanding classes and professional presentations that Cook Children's Medical Center has to offer.
My greatest professional accomplishment thus far is that I received my Certified Pediatric Nurse certification after only being nurse for slightly more than a year. The residency program pushes you to attend a two-day review course held at our hospital and allows you to sit for the exam. I am so thankful to have had the program's guidance becoming a new nurse, and I now have even greater motivation and confidence in myself to achieve the high goals I set for myself.
Q: Was there a professor, advisor, or fellow student significantly helped you or inspired you when you were here at MSU? If yes, how?
A: Since day one in her pathophysiology class, Dr. Laura Freidhoff sparked my interest to understand the human body and her unique teaching style fulfilled my drive to learn. With every class came more connections from previous learned material, and Dr. Freidhoff was always willing to answer the insane amount of questions my mind would conjure or encourage me to dig deeper and find the answer myself. Truly, without her class as a foundation, I do not feel I would be as successful a nurse as I am today. I am grateful for each and every one of my professors at MSU that shaped me into a well-rounded, professional nurse.
Q: What are 1 – 3 things that have helped you succeed as a #SpartanNurse?
A: My determination and willingness to step out of my comfort zone, my education, and the loving, selfless nature that God has blessed me with.
A: I am forever grateful to be a Michigan State Spartan and am proud to represent our school through the nursing profession.

Samsø er en ø i Kattegat midt i Danmark på 114,26 km². Den har  indbyggere (januar ) bosat i 22 landsbyer, hvoraf Tranebjerg er den største.

Samsø Kommune består af Samsø og en række småøer. Kommunen blev oprettet i 1962 ved sammenlægning af sognekommunerne Besser, Kolby, Nordby, Onsbjerg og Tranebjerg, alle i Samsø Herred, der i 1970 blev overført fra Holbæk Amt til Århus Amt. Samsø blev ikke berørt af strukturreformens kommunesammenlægninger i 2007. Kommunalreformen i 2007 påvirker ikke kommunens grænser, men den har været nødt til at indgå samarbejdsaftaler med Odder Kommune og Aarhus Kommune.

Samsø består af Nordsamsø, hvis største by er Nordby, og Sydsamsø med Tranebjerg, Kolby Kås og Ballen, bundet sammen af en landtange ved hvis østlige side naturområdet Stavns Fjord ligger.

Geografi
Øen er rig på naturoplevelser. Issehoved er øens nordligste punkt, hvor man kan opleve en miniatureudgave af Skagens "Grenen". Møgelskår og Ballebjerg er smukke, bakkede områder med adgang til stenstrand. Der er gode badestrande flere steder på øen. Besser Rev er åbent for publikum bortset fra i fuglenes yngleperiode frem til 16. juli. Det er et cirka 7 km langt rev, der strækker sig ud fra Samsø, og man kan gå ud til spidsen. Vær opmærksom på flod og ebbe, idet der nogle gange er en stærk strøm ved revets begyndelse ved højvande. På Sydøen er Brattingsborg Skov et besøg værd. Det er tilladt at cykle på alle befæstede skovveje i skoven.

Historie
Der er spor fra mennesker på Samsø siden de tidligste tider, efter isen trak sig tilbage. Her jagtede man vildtet og siden bosatte man sig og begravede sine døde i gravhøje og rejste stendysser i stenalderen. Mange af gravhøjene på øen er dog fra bronzealderen, da man i denne periode anlagde dem på højdepunkter i landskabet. Det har reddet flere fra landbrug, bebyggelser og anden aktivitet gennem tiderne, hvorimod mange stenalderhøje er overpløjede eller helt fjernet i dag. Fra bronzealderen har vi også den 3.000 år gamle helligkilde Ilse Made kilde på øens vestkyst.

I jernalderen som fulgte, var der også megen aktivitet her og øen var blevet strategisk vigtig for den tiltagende magt-centralisering som prægede denne tid. Et sagn fortæller, at kong Angantyr døde i kamp på øen i år 726 og omkring samme tid (slutningen af jernalderen), gravede man Kanhavekanalen tværs over øen.

Udgravninger på Tønnesminde, f.eks., viser at bosættelser har eksisteret der fra stenalderen gennem vikingetiden.

Der blev i middelalderen bygget hele fem borge på Samsø. Brattingsborg (nu kaldet Gammel Brattingsborg) i Tranebjerg, Bisgård voldsted ved Bisgård i Onsbjerg sogn, hvor Bispegården nu står i dag, Vesborg på sydkysten hvor Vesborg Fyr i dag ligger placeret oven på borgvolden Hjortholm Voldsted på øen af samme navn i Stavns Fjord og endelig det lille fæstningsværk Blafferholm, som i dag ligger placeret i haven ved Brattingsborg Gods på sydøen. Der er dog ikke nogle egentlige overjordiske bygningslevn tilbage fra nogle af borganlæggene, kun voldstederne og visse dele af de begravede fundamenter findes i dag. Alle borgene var genstand for omfattende arkæologiske undersøgelser i perioden 2002-2009.

Christian 5. forærede 16. juni 1676 Samsø til Sophie Amalie Moth og 31. december 1677 ophøjede han hende til grevinde af Samsøe.

Under Danmarks søkrig med England 1801-1814 blev indsejlingen til Langøre havn i Stavns Fjord stærkt befæstet for at forhindre englænderne i at oprette et flådestøttepunkt her. Der blev anlagt kanonstillinger yderst på Besser Rev, på Kyholm og på Lilleøre. Voldene, der omgav disse kanonstillinger, kan ses i velbevaret stand.

I perioden 1831-1857 var der på Kyholm en karantænestation for pest og kolera, hvor skibe fra langfart skulle gå ind, hvis de havde sygdom om bord. På øen ligger i dag Danmarks ensomste kirkegård, hvor der ligger begravet omkring 100 Kyholmere.
Øen er tilgængelig hele året rundt, men man skal gå forsigtigt i fuglenes yngletid.

På det nu nedrevne andelsmejeri Madebjerggård i Besser forsøgte man før 2. Verdenskrig at eftergøre den schweiziske Emmentaler ost. Resultatet blev en ny ostetype, Samsø-osten, der nu produceres uden for Samsø.

Samsø hørte indtil kommunalreformen 1970 under Holbæk Amt, men blev da lagt under Århus Amt. Fra 2015 til 2016 steg befolkningstallet for første gang efter flere år med stadig færre beboere på øen. Tilflytningen blev især tilskrevet nye færgeruter.

Infrastruktur og transport
Der er daglige færgeforbindelser fra Hov i Jylland til Sælvig med Samsø Rederi og fra Kalundborg på Sjælland til Ballen med SamsøFærgen. På øen er desuden en velfungerende flyveplads. Derudover er der Ballen Havn, Mårup Havn og Langør Havn, som alle er "sejlskibshavne" uden færgeforbindelser. Fra maj 2016 til juli 2018 var der med mellemrum færgeforbindelse til Aarhus med Samsø-Aarhus Forbindelsen, der sejlede med færgen M/F Issehoved.

Transportstrukturen på øen indbefatter blandt andet Midttrafiks linje 131, som kører fra Kolby Kås på Sydøen til Nordby på Nordøen. Busserne kører i begge retninger knap hver time og betjener alle større landsbyer på øen samt begge færgelejer.
Øen er velegnet til cykelferie, idet afstandene ikke er store.

Erhverv
Samsø er blandt andet kendt for sine tidlige kartofler, der kan fås i det meste af landet. Samsø producerer også andre grøntsager, en del på økologiske landbrug, og for eksempel leveres der rødbeder, rødkål og græskar til konservesfabrikken Samsø Syltefabrik.  Turisme er også et vigtigt erhverv. Siden 2006 har Samsø også haft eget bryggeri, Samsø Bryghus, som producerer adskillige ølprodukter ofte med navne med relation til stednavne eller kendte personer fra øen. Samsø er desuden også kendt for brug af vedvarende energi, og har siden 2007 har øen været selvforsynende med energi fra vind, sol og biomasse.

Kultur

Samsø Museum i Tranebjerg samt de tilhørende afdelinger af Økomuseum Samsø rundt på øen – bl.a. er det muligt at besøge et levende museum på et nedlagt husmandssted. I landsbyen Langemark findes et bilmuseum for det engelske bilmærke Austin kaldet Samsø Austin Museum.

I nærheden af Nordby findes verdens største permanente labyrint: Samsø-labyrinten. Samsø fik i løbet af 2009 et stjerneobservatorium i det tidligere Kabelhus lidt syd for Ballen. Samsø Observatorium A.m.b.a.

Siden 1989 er musikfestivalen Samsø Festival foregået over tre dage i uge 29 under navnet "Danmarks hyggeligste festival".

Permelille er øens højest beliggende by. Her kan man besøge Svanegaarden ved øens eneste vandtårn.

Sport
Siden 2009 er der i august blevet afholdt Samsø Maraton med start og mål i Tranebjerg. Der er faciliteter til tennis, fodbold og håndbold både udendørs som indendørs i Tranebjerg. Der er også golfbane ved byen Besser.

I litteratur og populærkultur
 Ørvarodds saga beretter om kampene på Samsø, som Angantyr var involveret i.
 Saxos Gesta Danorum beretter bl.a. om Samsø.
 Strisser på Samsø er en tv-serie produceret af TV2. Den blev sendt i 1997-1998 og handler om en politibetjent, spillet af Lars Bom, Samsø.

THE MACAULAY CULKIN SHOW: Two-Year Anniversary Show
Shea Stadium 20 Meadow Street United States (map)
DOORS @7PM / SHOW @8PM
The Macaulay Culkin Show is an ill-conceived idea full of other ill-conceived ideas. Brett Davis & Sally Burtnick have been hosting Culkin (a comedy show that's hard to explain due to absolutely no connection to Macaulay Culkin) at a venue called Shea Stadium (which also takes some explanation) for two years now.
Sometimes people come to the show thinking that the actor will be there. Sometimes they come and get scared because someone is barking at them or threw an ice cream sandwich at their face. Sometimes an audience member is asked to talk about their most personal/sexual secrets or is given an impromptu bat mitzvah and pizza party (thanks Jo).
Nazis have invaded the show. We've crowned a prom king and queen. One time Joe Pera performed outside on a jet ski, and Colin Burgess ran to a bodega four minutes away mid-set in the same show. One time Chris Gethard dressed up like Brock Lesnar on a WrestleMania-themed show happening at the same time as WrestleMania. We've had stand-up, sketch, music, performance art, comedy legends, almost all of the people that were hired for SNL in 2013. We've had a bunch more that will probably be there or somewhere else great someday very soon.
Help us celebrate two years of ill-conceived ideas with:
JD AMATO (The Chris Gethard Show)
COLIN BURGESS (Parental Approval)
JOHN EARLY (Wet Hot American Summer)
BRIDEY ELLIOTT (Fort Tilden)
ANA FABREGA (Comedy Central, IFC)
GOOD COP GREAT COP (New Timers)
JACQUELINE NOVAK (Late Late Show)
CONNER O'MALLEY (Late Night with Seth Meyers)
GARY RICHARDSON & JOHN REYNOLDS (IFC, Holy Fuck)
Plus it's only $5. Doors at 7pm! Show at 8pm!

Blackline Safety Corp. have launched its second-generation Blackline Analytics platform, a tool that makes it easy for businesses to manage a world-class gas detection program.
Available to all new and existing Blackline Safety customers, this new data analytics software enables businesses to leverage the data streamed from their connected G7 gas detectors, empowering decision-making with user-friendly data visualization tools.
"Blackline is the only vendor to combine turn-key, 3G-enabled connected gas detection with location-based data analytics software," says Cody Slater, CEO & Chairman of Blackline Safety.
"Businesses are increasingly driven by data and connectivity — with Blackline Analytics, we are moving the gas detection industry into the future," says Sean Stinson, VP Sales & Product Management.
Blackline Analytics is accessible from any internet-connected device and launched with five interactive reports that will soon be joined by more reports, driven by customer feedback. Current Blackline Analytics online reports include an event report which provides a high-level overview of customer data, allowing users to quickly drill down into specifics using several filters. Charts enable quick comparison across individuals and teams. Users can explore how frequently one data type was reported and see when data events occur over time. With the event map report, users can explore the locations where data events occurred by choosing a date range and using an interactive map. Multiple occurrences of the same type of data can indicate a recurring issue that may require investigation. The incident report presents data for an individual employee or team that makes it easy to investigate an incident relating to gas exposure, an injury or health incident. The usage and compliance report presents regulatory gas detection and usage compliance data through a series of interactive charts. Businesses can monitor how teams are using equipment and if they are performing required gas sensor testing and calibrations. Last of the current report options is the bump test and calibration report in which operators can further drill into gas detection compliance data, examining each test and calibration performed, to identify and manage the cause of any failures that may have been encountered.
Blackline Analytics is offered as part of Blackline's connected safety portfolio, including its new G7 Insight, which combines a 3G-connected G7c gas detector with an online compliance dashboard and lifetime sensor warranty.
Blackline's G7c gas detector delivers turn-key connectivity, with services available in over 100 countries.
Unlike competitor products, G7 does not require support from expensive industrial Wi-Fi networks or complicated Bluetooth connections to smartphones.


With economy showing signs of improvement, IT world is being more optimistic and showing enthusiasm by taking the highway for investing in hottest technologies. World IT leaders are eager than ever to bring unique and promising technologies in their mix for the best results.
IT sector will experience kick up expenditure on customer-facing technologies, security tools, social and mobile tools, information collaboration & exchange technologies and in analytic systems. On other hand, it is quite prominent that expenditure on hardware will witness heavy fall, while service budget will rise. Let's take the tour around segments that will experience the investment blast in upcoming years.
Big data is still a ginormous concern for corporates. In the survey conducted by computerworld, more that 35% of the IT experts said that enterprise analytics, business intelligence and data mining will be their most favorite destinations to spend their IT dollars.
Higher education has just started to realize the value of big data and how to utilize analytics. In coming years, universities will start marshaling their dollars and resources necessary to accomplish corporate wide CRM project that will cover business intelligence and analytic platform.
High profile security breach incidents took place in last couple of years has put spending on security on priority list. Corporates expressed their desire to create balance between agility and security and that is why IT companies will positively spend more in specific security areas like intrusion prevention, access control, virus & malware protection and identity management.
As applications are taking the center stage to run corporate operations, IT professionals are planning to spend on upgrading, developing or replacing applications, including mobile apps.
Corporates are required to build unique applications and upgrade others in order to get optimum functionality. Mobile applications specifically witnessing investment priorities as companies want their customers to claim their product or service offerings though their mobile device.
Specifically talking about wireless or mobile technologies, companies will concentrate investing on RFID technology, Wi-Fi, remote access tools, mobile device management systems and mobile/wireless devices in coming years as these technologies has the potential to turn around their business processes completely.
As investment will rise in some potential segments, there will be segments witnessing fall in investment amount. Among such areas, hardware is the first one to be in the list. Companies will spend as much less as possible on servers, laptops, desktops, and other kinds of equipment.
Another cold area on investment will be on-premise software as companies are less interested in investing in CRM and ERP systems, service-oriented architecture, individual point applications, Web services, open-source tools, e-business software, operating systems, and content management tools.


Staying true to yourself is a matter of personal integrity and self-respect. It involves standing up for your own values and not caving into the demands or expectations of others. Being true to yourself can lead to independence, confidence, happiness, and an ability to navigate through life more effectively, leading to a sense of fulfillment that you've given your best self to the world. It can be tough to navigate life with personal integrity and a sense of self—especially when you're young—but being true to yourself can make you more fulfilled as a person.
Speak honestly, no matter who you're talking to. Part of being true to yourself is saying what you actually mean. It can be very tempting to give in to peer pressure or social expectation and merely repeat the opinions of others. However, people who are true to themselves resist this impulse, and let their honest thoughts and feelings be known (without being rude about it, of course).
This will show your friends that you have personal morals and won't change your behavior simply because it gets a laugh.
Choose your friends wisely. Be close with genuinely kind and nice people, not cruel or detracting ones. Make sure that your friends support and admire you for being yourself; if they don't, question their motives and the reasons for your friendships.
Make sure you have friends or close family members that can serve as your integrity accountability mentors. This person should help you when you need to consult someone about making decisions in line with your values.
Don't hide your character or preferences. As a general rule, there's very little to be gained by deceiving others about who you are or what you value. People who are true to themselves are comfortable with letting their true beliefs and personality be known. If you feel like you need to conceal parts of your character (including religious or political beliefs), it's possible that you're not being true to yourself.
Examine your own values. Your values will guide your personal interests and behaviors, so it's worth taking some time to figure out what they are. To help you identify your core values, make a list of those characteristics you find important, such as freedom, power, helpfulness, and integrity. Try to prioritize the list. This will help you come up with your core personal values.
Your values may change over time. Your list won't remain static, and that's fine. The point is to check in with yourself and clarify your values. You can do this exercise any time to help you with that process.
If you are struggling to come up with a list on your own, you can look for one online to help get you started.
Determine what some of your own interests are. This is an important part of getting to know yourself and staying true to who you are. Interests can include things like interpersonal skills, professional skills, and hobbies. Once you have a few of your own strengths in mind, you'll have a better idea of yourself and a better handle on what it means to be true to yourself.
For example, maybe one of your siblings is an incredible athlete. But, you lack their athletic talent. That's fine! Figure out what you are good at: maybe that's art or business, for example.
Or, if you hang around with people who constantly play video games but realize you're not interested in that lifestyle, find a way to spend less time around video games and more time doing something you truly enjoy.
Brush off mistakes that you make. Everyone can and will make mistakes. Over time, it's important to learn from the mistakes you've made and move forward, rather than dwelling on them. Otherwise, you'll continue to mentally beat yourself up for something that's in the past and unchangeable.
For example, if you fail a test in high school or college, don't be too hard on yourself. Instead, figure out what you did wrong that made you fail, and work to correct that error on your next test.
Set SMART goals and work towards them. You'll have more personal drive and integrity if you have personal and professional goals to work towards. SMART is an acronym which stands for: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. SMART goals can help you be realistic about the types of goals you can achieve, and will help keep you on track to meet the goals.
Make sure your goal of being a musician is relevant to your personal interests (even after 1, 3, or 5 years have passed), and give yourself a specific time limit in which to meet your goals.
Don't pay attention to others' detracting opinions of you. If friends or acquaintances have unjustified criticisms to make, pay them no attention. The people who really mean the most are those who stick by your side and respect and love you for who you are. For example, if a friend decides to make fun of you behind your back for wearing clothes that the friend doesn't like, ignore their rude opinion.
For example, if a friend says, "I think that you need to work on your temper; you've been angry lately and it's starting to drive your friends away," their advice would be worth listening to.
Ambitious when it comes to following my passions.
Think about how you can live out your strengths. This will help you be true to yourself in a way that is authentic, and that you can maintain over time. For example, if you think you're sympathetic, you may decide that you want to show greater sympathy to your friends and family members. Or, if you have a great sense of humor, try to find ways in which you can make others feel better through some jokes.
This activity will help you develop a positive self-image. A positive self-image will encourage you to stay true to yourself and your beliefs, since you will feel less pressure to be someone you're not or to act in a way you find inauthentic.
Learn to embrace your flaws. They are a part of you, and that won't change. Balance these by acknowledging and making the most of your good features and putting your best self forward as much as possible. Being true to yourself doesn't mean forcing yourself to be perfect. Rather, it involves knowing your interests and behaviors as a person, and fully embracing yourself.
For example, maybe you're impatient, or maybe you realize you have a bit of a temper. It's okay to work on improving these aspects of your personality, without devolving to self-hatred or denial.
Never listen to anybody who tells you that you aren't good enough. Everybody is beautiful in one way or another.
If you aren't satisfied with yourself, the only way to stay true to yourself is to figure out who you are. Many of us aren't sure who we are or who we've like to become, and that is totally okay.
Don't change yourself to impress someone else! If they can't accept who you are, then it's not worth it.

November 13, 2015 , Filed Under: Horns Meet World
Jumping Across the Pond to Ireland
Horns meet world. World meet Alex Vickery. Alex graduated from UT in Fall 2014 with a degree in Journalism, but back in 2013 she spent her fall semester in Dublin, Ireland at University College Dublin. Luckily for us, she blogged about her whole experience, as a good ol' UT journalism major would. Since she's graduated, she's continued blogging on her page, which you can find here: Alex Vickery. Anywho, read on to check out Alex's first impression of Dublin from a Longhorn's perspective.
What's the craic in Dublin?
People often ask me why I chose to study abroad in Dublin. Why not choose more popular European destinations like England or Spain? The combination of factors that led me here is quite ordinary and I won't bore you with my decision making process, but I have a better question: Out of a school of 50,000 students, why am I the only Longhorn studying in Dublin?
Temple Bar, a popular nightlife neighborhood in Dublin.
It might be obvious that, unlike Spain, there is no language barrier in Ireland. Although that's not entirely true. I was surprised to see many street signs bearing the name in Irish before English. It would take me years to conquer the extensive list of Irish slang, and in rural regions, people's accents are so strong they might as well be speaking gibberish. So while I might not be learning a new language, I apologize in advance for saying things like "craic" — yes, it's pronounced crack, and it means "fun" — and "grand" when I get back.
From my short two-week experience thus far, I'd say that Irish folk are in the running for the friendliest people in the world. Brazilians are hanging onto the spot as of now, and there is actually a large population of them here, but that's another story. Ask an Irish person any question, whether it be about their culture, or simply for directions, and you're likely to get a story in response.
After Ireland lost to Sweden in the FIFA World Cup qualifying match in Dublin on Friday, you would expect there to be a lack of celebration afterwards. But alas, the party goes on anyway.
Trinity College in Dublin.
I was walking down the street with some American friends when we stopped a man with a soccer jersey on to ask if Ireland had won. He replied simply, "We won in spirit." He went on to explain that the Irish are so welcoming to foreigners, that because tons of Swedes came to the country to attend the game, the Irish had to let them win. And then everyone heads to a pub.
Pouring my own pint at the Guinness Factory in Dublin.
Which brings me to the Irish stereotype of everyone being a drunk. While this is not entirely true, pints of Guinness are flowing somewhere in the city every night of the week. Including at noon at the University College Dublin campus pub.
All right, to be fair, classes have only started today, so my experience may be a bit biased. I have had more time to enjoy the finer things — and rare sunny weather — in Dublin without the stress of studying. Even still, regardless of whatever mundane factors led me to choose this place, I'm glad I did.
So while the rest of you Longhorns are missing out, I also kind of want to thank y'all for throwing me across the pond on my own.
Coming here completely alone for the first time, to be on exchange for four months has been one of the most exhilarating experiences. So sláinte to the next three and a half.
If you enjoyed reading about Alex's first impression of Dublin, check out the rest of her Dublin adventures and more on her site here: Alex Vickery. As always, be sure to check in with us next week to see where in the world our Horns pop up next!

Renaissance Of Fools -
(CD 2015, 49:18, Metalville MV0078 )
1- Counting Down
2- Internal Carousel
3- Scars
4- Spring: Prelude
5- Spring: On Your Knees
6- Spring: State Of Oppression
7- Spring: Revolution
8- Spring: A New Dawn
Website facebook Metalville Records
Spring is the second release of Swedish band Renaissance Of Fools. This is the dark progressive rock band founded by former Pain Of Salvation guitarist and composer Daniel Magdic and Thalamus drummer Magnus Karlsson. Since the debut album; Fear, Hope And Frustration, the band's line-up has seen two changes, both vocalist and bass player presented on the first album, Kjell Sjostrom and Bjorn Tauman were replaced by Silent Nation's David Engström and Linus Carlsson of Kamchatka respectively. As a special guest, Daniel's former band mate from Pain Of Salvation, Kristoffer Gildenlöw contributed bass parts to several compositions.
The album Spring basically has just four songs, three separate compositions and one, the album's title track Spring, composition that contains five different sections. Together forming a theme song about the Arabic spring in 2010, started in Tunisia and spread to Egypt and most of the Arabic world. The album begins with an eight minutes highlight; Counting Down. A song that combines the intensity of Pain Of Salvation with Porcupine Tree and Opeth's mood changes. Vocally, this song strongly refers to Pain Of Salvation, David has a similar emotional voice that is able to transmit the lyrics to the listener in a perfect way. Musically the song is strong; using progressive elements of the aforementioned bands as well as elements from nineties grunge and alternative rock; mainly Alice In Chains influences. The second song on the album; Internal Carousel also highlights the strong vocal style of David. Absolutely a song that is memorable, even sometimes reminding a bit of the Icelandic Agent Fresco. Due to the combination of the voice and the apparently simple song with a nice, weird solo part. The song Scars has more a vein of classic rock. It contains a solo that could be played by Slash whichcertainly fits to this song. On the other hand the aforementioned vocal style of Daniel defines Scars as a typical Renaissance Of Fools composition. The five parts that together form the opus Spring starts with a short eastern sounding instrumental part that is followed by On Your Knees. This has a pretty heavy section that holds parts of spoken words in the background, powerful guitars go together with gentle keyboard sounds, to end with a strong solo part. State Of Oppression is a smooth part, filled with multi layered vocals, a children's choir, an ultra-heavy mid-section and a perfectly fitting guitar solo that is followed by an acoustic guitar solo that takes you to the end. Revolution continues acoustically as a strong ballad style composition, reminding a bit of Orphaned Land and even some Blackfield. Spring ends with A New Dawn. Here the progressive rock elements are combined with Muse and the aforementioned Blackfield. This is a very strong part which finish the Spring opus and the album.
Renaissance Of Fools have recorded a perfect album that assures this is a band that holds a great future. Sure there are elements of Pain Of Salvation, but that only is obvious when Daniel was one of the band's composers in the early days. But all in all Renaissance Of Fools has its own face and sound and I am looking forward to see them perform live on stage.

It was brought to my attention that the sculpture Tink man was recently in the Bennington Banner. Credit of that photo goes to Charlie Bargamian. I thought perhaps there might be an interest in the background of the Tink man. Our beloved son Richard C Tinkham left this world, September 22, 2016 at the age of 25. This great loss was felt community wide. Tink man was a brainstorm of a HAYC3 (Hoosick Area Youth Coalition) member, and friend. Richard (aka Tink) was a union welder and loved it. He always had a love of working with his hands.
Our garage, and his was full of his tools, car parts and all things metal. All the parts and pieces of Tink man hold a special meaning or memory. The red milk can was a gift from Richard on Mother's Day several years ago. The work boots, are his boots. The time set on the clock was his time of birth. The raised hand holds a box, which he made, in it is a family picture, and the box was welded shut. I could go on and on about all the parts. The young man that welded it together is a friend of Richard's and we consider him and his beautiful family as part of our family.
His young girls and wife stayed the whole time as it was being constructed. The land it currently sits on was donated to HAYC3 and it was used it as a garden. We are considering moving Tink man to our property, as that space will not have a garden this year.
Something that will always stay in place is a granite bench that sits in front of the Army not from where Tink man is. The bench is engraved with Richard's name and the quote "The Man, The Myth, The Legend". Each Christmas season we place a living tree, near it and load it with lights. Loved ones and friends adorn it with ornaments. These ornaments are saved and placed on the new tree the following year. The tree is decorated for upcoming holidays. Currently it decorated with Easter eggs. The tree will soon be planted on our property.
memory will live on. Thank you to all.

Goodbye Norman: Thanks for the Chance
March 3, 2015 Simon Allen News 0
I found out this week that my first ever darts captain, Norman Downs, passed away recently.
Norman was a friend of the family for many years and had played darts with my Dad, since the 1960's. Norman was the first person to ask me to play for him, at the Bournemouth Parks Club in the Hants and Dorset League – that was about 1986. From then Norman and I moved around various different pubs and clubs in and around Bournemouth and Wimborne together, including CBB Parks, Homeguard, Bournemouth East Con, Merley Social Club and the Shoulder of Mutton.
Norman was pretty inspirational for me in the early days of darts and would pick me up every week for about four years until I had passed my driving test and started driving myself. He had faith in me and put me straight into the starting line-up at 14. I'm not sure how the rest of the team felt about that, but I certainly appreciated his faith.
He was always telling me how good I was and that was quite a lift for me at that age – he'd always play me at number one, presumably in the belief that I would get us off to a good start – and to be fair, I often did – no fear in those days! Another player on the team in those days was Doug Webber – Doug was a massive inspiration as well, always had a kind word and a fair amount of encouragement. "He's a lovely player that Simon", he would say, with a cheeky smile. Sadly Doug passed away about seven years ago as well.
Always a Tale to Tell
Norman always had a story ready about a heroic leg or match that he'd been part of recently or in the past – being the Bournemouth singles champion sometime in the 70's or 80's was a particular favourite of his. I never got to see Norman play in his pomp, which I imagine would have been in the 80's, but I wouldn't mind being half as good now as his stories suggested he was then!
The most impressive thing about Norman's game was his ability to spin round as the winning dart was on its way to the board and have his hand ready for his opponent to shake! Not cocky or showy, just his way.
It always seemed to me that Norman was never happy not being Captain – I think he might have felt that it was a calling. He would try his best at every fixture to gain as much from the match as was possible, regardless of the odds. He would throw each of his players darts with them and feeling every disappointment with them. We were promoted (and then subsequently relegated) a number of times under Norman's stewardship on a Thursday night in the Hants and Dorset league. I believe he may have been made a lifetime president of that league.
About five years ago, Norman had a number of mini strokes and became increasingly frail. It was painful watching him throw his darts and at times not even reaching the tyre around the board. At one match in particular, at Colehill cricket club, I remember him tripping over the oche and falling to the floor – he almost hit his head – it could have been really nasty. Shortly after that, my sister went to his house to pick him up for a Wimborne League match. She found him on the driveway – he'd fallen over and wasn't able to get up because the drive was too icy.
It was soon after that he stopped coming to darts and we all lost contact with him. I found out he moved to live with his son further up the country. I also found out that he was suffering from Alzheimers – I feel bad now that my own troubles and concerns prevented me from contacting Norman and letting him know that he was still remembered with affection at darts.
Sorry for losing touch Norman and I hope you and Doug are chatting over old times now.

As I get older (only in my 40's!) I feel the importance of sharing encouragement for players new to the game – it's important that the youngsters keep on coming – that's not always the case.
Hello , I am Norman's daughter . He and Mum made the courageous move to be near me in Wales but its lovely to hear that he wasn't forgotten . Thanks for the lovely tribute.
Thanks for replying. Norman was great fun to be around and he is missed. I'm glad you liked the tribute hope you are all okay after Norman's passing.

It's so lovely to read a message about my grandad. Many a time he tried to teach me and my sister to play darts, trusting us to play in his greenhouse! Thank you for taking time to write this, means alot.
So lovely to read such a kind message about my grandad. Thank you for taking time out to write this, means alot. He used to try and teach me and my sister how to play darts in his greenhouse; very trusting! Thanks again

The Reading Heavy New SAT
Many argue that the new SAT is more reading-heavy than its previous incarnation. Our SAT tutors at Ivy Coach happen to agree. But that doesn't mean students have to get started as early as this little boy. That'd be ridiculous.
A piece in "The New York Times" by Anemona Hartocollis entitled "New, Reading-Heavy SAT Has Students Worried" highlights the changes that The College Board has made to the SAT, changes that — arguably — mark the largest overhaul of the exam in its history (some will surely beg to differ). As the title of the piece in "The New York Times" implies, the test is more reading-heavy, although the folks at College Board will challenge this claim.
In fact, according to Ms. Hartocollis' reporting for "The New York Times," "The College Board said that the number of words in the reading section had remained the same — about 3,250 on the new test, and 3,300 on the old one — and that the percentage of word problems in the math sections of the old and the new test was roughly the same, about 30 percent." So what's all the fuss, you ask? What The College Board isn't advertising, but as Ms. Hartocollis accurately reports, "The way the words are presented makes a difference. For instance, short sentence-completion questions, which tested logic and vocabulary, have been eliminated in favor of longer reading passages, from literary sources like 'Ethan Frome' and 'Moby-Dick,' or political ones, like John Locke's ideas about consent of the governed. These contain sophisticated words and thoughts in sometimes ornate diction."
SAT vs. ACT is like Red Sox vs. Yankees. And while neither the Red Sox nor the Yankees were too hot last year, the SAT has lost marketshare to the ACT in recent years. Maybe the new SAT is College Board's way of catching up.
There are some, many in fact, who argue that the new SAT — being as it's wordier — will further discriminate against folks who can't read as well as others — like international students or disadvantaged students. There's even the line in the piece in "The New York Times" that it'll only further help "the rich get richer." And of course this counters the objectives of College Board. But were they ever really going to make everyone happy? SAT has lost significant marketshare to ACT. Maybe it was a case of go big or go home. Or maybe they just wanted to keep up with the changing times, like Apple always does.

She is a EVO with the ability to control the darkness also known as Umbrakinesis, which has the side effect of negating the abilities of other EVO's.

Back in the woods, she begins to taunt Luke, she doesn't think he'll kill them because he didn't when he had the chance. Quentin tries to stop her but it doesn't work. She takes off running and just when Luke is about to shoot her, Quentin knocks him to the ground. Phoebe manages to get her hands untied and the Power Negation Device out her nose and she escapes.
In "Project Reborn", Phoebe is left standing alone in the streets of the Gateway in Odessa, Texas after everyone is transported to the future. She makes her way into the Odessa Clock Tower, where she spots Quentinand Malina entering the tower to take cover from falling debris created by the first wave of the H.E.L.E. Still believing in Erica's cause, Phoebe sends down shadowy tendrils that grab Malina and drag her to the top of the tower. Quentin draws a gun and begs Phoebe at gunpoint to stop. However, Phoebe is too far gone and starts using her shadows to crush Malina. With no other choice, Quentin shoots Phoebe three times, sending her falling from the Odessa Clock Tower, killing her. After making sure Malina is safe, Quentin sadly looks down upon his sister's body outside the tower as the second wave approaches, causing Malina to give him a sympathetic look.
Powers Edit
Umbrakinesis: Phoebe has the ability to manipulate and generate darkness she can use it in a variety of ways such as: creating darkness, controlling her shadow, and stealing light. Any Evo who is caught in her shadow had their abilities temporarily neutralized.
Power Negation: Phoebe's abilities are able to affect the abilities of other evos, nullifying their effects and affecting their use. She has so far made a levitating guitarist fall, extinguished a pyrokinetic's fire, prevented Malina from using her powers, and stopped Miko from entering Evernow. Most notably, she generated enough shadows on June 13, 2014 to nullify the powers of every evo present in the city, including both Mohinder's and Hiro's abilities, along with those of every evo at the summit. When stopping abilities from working, she actively projects darkness, generating tendrils of shadow from her hands to negate the power she wishes to disrupt, or producing a large field of darkness in the sky. The latter causes an eclipse to appear. This use of her powers does require concentration; when Quentin tackles her in the Renautas facility, the other evo in the room is able to use her own ability normally. It appears that she has developed this aspect of her power mostly under Renautas's employment.
"Erica gave me a purpose, a mission, something to live for. Don't you understand what you've done? If that girl frees the time traveler, then we're all dead." (Game Over)
Phoebe can temporarily disable other EVO's abilities through her power.
While working for Erica, she was nicknamed "The Shadow"
Phoebe was able to stimulate an eclipse through her abilities and was the reason for EVO's being disempowered during the June 13th disaster
Ironically, the name Phoebe means "light"
No overt explanation was given for Phoebe's internal transformation from an innocent, well-meaning college student to a sociopathic mass murderer, though it was hinted that her power took a toll on her emotional well being.
