Memorial to 'Longest Night' in the San Fernando Valley Gives Community an Opportunity to Mourn Homeless Deaths
A memorial to commemorate the deaths of homeless people who lived in the San Fernando Valley will be erected in multiple locations on Saturday, December 18, and will culminate in a candlelit vigil in North Hollywood.
The Longest Night Memorial event, hosted by two local groups supporting and protecting homeless neighbors in the Valley, is being held as temperatures hit freezing in Los Angeles.
Nearly 1,500 people died on the streets of Los Angeles during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to researchers at the University of California Los Angeles, who published a report earlier this month, titled We Don't Forget.
According to the report, the deaths are "evidence of displacement and injury caused by unsafe housing and displacement" and prison-like "isolation in shelters and emergency shelter programs", including those created during the pandemic, and underscores the need for humane permanent housing – no conditions.
Organizers say the event is being held to encourage the community to mourn the many deaths that have occurred during the pandemic and during the Los Angeles homelessness crisis.
"My community, my friends? They are dying, "said Karin Goldstein, a homeless woman from the West Valley. "This is inevitable for us. He is everywhere – always. Even if you refuse to acknowledge our life and our death, we are human beings and we matter. "
In November, an office opened at St. Matthew's Luthernov Church to commemorate the memory of the dead neighbors who live homeless. (Photo courtesy of St. Matthew Lutheran Church in North Hollywood)
The event is the result of a collaboration between two Valley Homes groups: West Valley Homes Yes, in the Northwest Valley, and NoHo Home Alliance, which operates primarily in North Hollywood. Both teams regularly conduct outreach to homeless communities in their neighborhoods and work to link them to resources and housing.

Kim Olsen, board member of West Valley Homes Yes, said the commemorative event "grew out of talking with our homeless friends about how many people we lost and a desire to honor the memory of our deceased friends.
Hannah Bowman, another board member, said having multiple locations would help illustrate that "homeless deaths occur in all of our neighborhoods, not far away."
A final candlelight service will take place at the end of a memorial event at St Matthew's Lutheran Church in North Hollywood, where the NoHo home alliance is based. Participants can bring a votive candle to commemorate one homeless person.
Reverend Stephanie Jager of St. Matthew Lutheran Church speaks during a service in North Hollywood on Sunday, November 14, 2021, to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the community-centered church. (Photo by Drew A. Kelly, author of the article)
The Rev. Stephanie Jager, pastor of St. Matthew's Church and executive director of the NoHo Home Alliance, noted that the event is not only for mourning the lost, but also for an "urgent call to action."
"It's time to think about how we can come together to end homelessness," she said.
Both groups also offer volunteers to help homeless people. To learn more about the event, contact West Valley Homes Yes at (818) 305-4080 or [email protected]
During the day, the memorial will have stops at five locations:
–11: 00: Nordhoff & Oso, Chatsworth;
–12: 00: Eaton and Vanoven, Canoga Park;
13:00: 14449 Aetna, Van Nuys;
–14.00: North Hollywood Park, Tujung and Magnolia;
–15: 00: Weddington South Park (behind Universal Metro); and
–16: 00: Closing of the candlelight service, St. Matthew's, 11031 Camarillo St., North Hollywood.

Q: how to insert a shape with background color and outline in excel VBA In a user form I use a macro triggered by a button click that inserts a shape with text. That works fine but I have to make that shape background transparent with the outline red. The following code inserts a default shape that has a blue background without outline:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    Dim shp As Shapes
    Set shp = ActiveSheet.Shapes
    With shp
        With .AddShape(msoShapeRectangularCallout, 50, 20, 50, 20).TextFrame
            .Characters.Text = TextBox1
            .HorizontalAlignment = xlHAlignCenter
            .VerticalAlignment = xlVAlignCenter
        End With
    End With
    Set shp = Nothing
End Sub

A: Try this code
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    Dim shp As Shapes
    Set shp = ActiveSheet.Shapes
    With shp
        With .AddShape(msoShapeRectangularCallout, 50, 20, 50, 20)

Children with special needs can sometimes be catered for in mainstream schools. When this is not possible, there are special schools or learning from a distance.
Admission to CLIS is decided by the CCPE (commission préélémentaire et élémentaire). UPI (unités pédagogiques d'intégration) units accommodate children with cognitive learning disorders from age 12 to 16 years (generally coming from CLIS 1). The UPI provides adapted school integration and partial participation through the teaching and activities. This system is being expanded to incorporate children with sight, hearing and physical disabilities. Commonly, learning assistance is handled outside of school hours by relevant therapists (and if the child is not coping at their level they may be held back). If the child needs constant or specific assistance, then they will be admitted to a specialist school. A family doctor will be able to advise further, as will the Mairie and the school in the relevant catchment area.

Joel Embiid expects his first playoff game in Philadelphia to be quite a scene.
"It's going to be lit Authentic Josh Sweat Jersey ," Embiid said.
And if the 76ers win, there will be more games like it next week.
The 76ers can become the first team into the Eastern Conference semifinals when they host the Miami Heat on Tuesday in Game 5 of the only East series that isn't tied.
Also Tuesday, the Golden State Warriors get their second chance to eliminate San Antonio, and the Celtics and Bucks return to Boston for Game 5 of a series in which the home team has won every game.
Embiid was still sidelined while recovering from a broken orbital bone around his left eye for the first two games in Philadelphia, then returned to help the 76ers win Games 3 and 4 in Miami.
Now the 76ers, who just two years ago lost 72 games in one of the worst seasons ever while the Warriors were winning an NBA-record 73, can join the defending champions in the second round on the same night. The 76ers have advanced to the East semis just twice since reaching the NBA Finals in 2001.
Golden State missed its first chance to move on when San Antonio won 103-90 on Sunday. The Warriors were disappointed, though far from devastated.
"We lost and we got another opportunity to try to close this thing out back at the crib Youth Albert Wilson Jersey ," Kevin Durant said, "so no, we're good."
Ettore Messina will coach the Spurs again in place of Gregg Popovich, who will miss his third straight game following the death of his wife.
Some things to know about Tuesday's matchups:
BUCKS AT CELTICS
Series tied 2-2. Game 5, 7 p.m., NBA TV.
NEED TO KNOW: Milwaukee has shot 52 percent or better in the last three games and outscored Boston 433-427 in a series in which the Celtics won the opener in overtime and the Bucks took Game 4 by two points on Giannis Antetokounmpo 's follow shot with 5 seconds remaining.
KEEP AN EYE ON: Jaylen Brown. He's scored 30 or more in two of the last three games, and his 11-point outing in Game 3 was the only game in the series Boston didn't have a chance to win. "I want to just continue to keep helping my team and shooting the ball well," Brown said. "It's something that's on and I want to continue to do that."
INJURY UPDATE: The Celtics are listing guard Marcus Smart Mark Grace Jersey , sidelined since mid-March because of right thumb surgery, as questionable. Bucks starting center John Henson has missed the last two games with a sore lower back.
PRESSURE IS ON: Jabari Parker and Thon Maker. Parker's 16.5 points and Maker's 5.0 blocks per game off the bench were huge keys in Milwaukee, but they have to prove they can take their show on the road. They managed all of two points in Boston, where Maker didn't even get in Game 1.
HEAT AT 76ERS
Philadelphia leads 3-1. Game 5, 8 p.m., TNT.
NEED TO KNOW: Philadelphia is averaging 116.8 points in the series, tops among postseason teams, and the 76ers have outscored the Heat 127-85 in the fourth quarter of the four games.
KEEP AN EYE ON: Dwyane Wade Cheap Adrian Clayborn Jersey , because it might be the last time to watch him play. The Heat star hasn't committed to playing next season, so this could be the final game of his career if Miami loses.
INJURY UPDATE: Forward Josh Richardson is questionable with a left shoulder sprain, and the Heat are also dealing with injuries to fellow starters Tyler Johnson (left thumb) and Goran Dragic (sore right knee). If Johnson is limited, the Heat could insert Rodney McGruder for defense or give Wayne Ellington more minutes in hopes of getting his shot going.
PRESSURE IS ON: Miami's starters. In what should be a raucous atmosphere in Philadelphia, the Heat have to make sure they aren't run off the floor before Wade even gets off the bench.
SPURS AT WARRIORS
Golden State leads 3-1. Game 5, 10:30 p.m., TNT.
NEED TO KNOW: Another loss would give the Warriors more in this postseason then they had all last year. Golden State was 16-1 (an NBA-record .941 winning percentage) in storming to its second championship in three years.
KEEP AN EYE ON: Manu Ginobili. The 40-year-old Argentine may have extended not only the series but also his career when he scored 10 of his 16 points in the fourth quarter of Game 4, so there's at least one more chance to enjoy his brilliant style of play.
INJURY UPDATE: Ginobili was kneed in the thigh late in Game 4 and will be hoping to be pain-free after a day off. Also Jim Thome Jersey , the Spurs have ruled Kawhi Leonard out for Game 5.
PRESSURE IS ON: The Warriors, if only to avoid the aggravation of the old reminders about their big lead blown in the 2016 NBA Finals if they lose again and the series is prolonged while New Orleans, who they would play in the second round, continues to rest.
AP Basketball Writer Tim Reynolds in Miami and AP Sports Writer Kyle Hightower in Boston contributed to this report.

Back to Age 10
Prof. Pig
By: Andrew E.
Ohio, Age 10
Once upon a time there was a piglet named Andrew he was on a farm when one day the farmer picked him up he thought, "I'M DEAD THERE GOING TO COOK ME AND EAT ME!!" But, the farmer gave him to a man in a business suit and the man walked away with him. Andrew thought "With any luck he wants me as a pet and not cook me and feed me to his family." Then the man in the business suit got into a limizene and the chauffeur drove them away. Then they got to a mountain side and the chauffeur drove right into the wall but, some how they went right through it into a secret lab. When the piglet saw the lab he was in shock! He loved everything the gizmos the gadgets. But, they took him in a room with a strap chair, giant needle, potions. stitches, and a scientist. They put the piglet in the strap chair and gave him anesthetics and stitched his body parts in different spots. Soon, it was over the piglet now was shaped like a HUMAN!! The piglet liked his new body he lived a normal life except he didn't go to school, he didn't have friends, and he lived on the streets. He also had no idea he was ever in the lab. Meanwhile at the lab… The scientist were trying to make a cure for every sickness and tested it in a townsperson. It turned him into a ZOMBIE!! 10 years later… Andrew now was out of his 10 year hibernation that's right, the effect of turning into a human shaped pig made him sleep 10 years straight but, it only happens once in his life. He didn't see any cars, streets, houses, or anything he just kept walking and finally found a small town. He asked someone where is everyone the townsperson said "10 years ago a secret agency accidently turned someone into a zombie ever since the apocalypse has come out at night." Wow said Andrew he walked away with his jaw dropped on the floor. Then he saw a restaurant with a long line. He said "What's this about?" A townsperson said "This is a really fancy restaurant you'll never get in." "What makes you say that?" asked Andrew. You need a tuxedo and you're a pig you don't have clothes. So Andrew walked away and found the blacksmith of the town and the Blacksmith said my furnace doesn't work is you fix it you can keep what's clogging it up. Andrew reached and found sheers. The blacksmith said thank you then Andrew walked away. Then falling from the sky came a tux Andrew put it on. Andrew walked right in the fancy restaurant. He sat next to a sheep also in the shape of a human. There waiter came and said "What do you want to eat?" NOTHING the sheep said. "Okay" said the Waiter. The sheep told Andrew " Want to help me take over the world?" You're crazy said Andrew. Then the sheep pulled out a bow and a lot of arrows and said "EVERYONE BUT THIS PIG GET OUT OR I'LL SHOOT YOU!!" Everyone ran out. Andrew said "What's this about?" You will be the last one who calls me crazy. Then the FBI showed up and said "Don't move we have you surrounded!" Then, the sheep blew up one of there cars. Then Andrew remembered that sheep don't like sheers he pulled his out and the sheep ran out the back door and pushed away the FBI agents. Then the FBI came in and Nick Fury came and said to Andrew "Sorry about that, that was the evil Prof. Sheep. He has done tons of crimes but you showed courage want to join the FBI?" Andrew said "Give me some time to think." Nick Fury said "It's okay we can" "YES" Said Andrew. "Okay I guess." said Nick Fury. Then Nick Fury told Andrew "The owner of the restaurant cooks people to make his food we must stop him." So they went to his house and broke down the door. Then they saw a monster Rich said "I call him Josh." Then Josh started killing tons of agents bit Andrew killed him and Rich got away. "We must hunt down Rich." "Okay." said Andrew. Then Nick Fury got a call Nick Fury said. "Andrew you have to do it on your own the FBI has important business to do but you're the only one without a tight schedule." "Okay." said Andrew. So Nick Fury said. "All we know is that there in the middle of the ocean." "WHAT!!!" said Andrew. How did they get there so fast "I don't know." said Nick Fury. Andrew sent out to find them. Andrew went to an island nearby it was kind of like Smurf land but he ignored it he got in a mini rowboat. Then, he just kept on rowing and eventually he found a HUGE pirate ship. He wondered if they've seen Rich so, he went on board but, it seemed empty he went in the captains quarters and he found a TON of gold but once again he ignored it. He went under the body of the ship and found TONS of minerals. He found gold, diamonds, emeralds, iron, ruby, and many more minerals! Then he went on the body of the ship and he found Rich and Prof. Sheep! Then Andrew fought them Rich was about to kill him then Prof. Sheep pushed Rich in the water and said "He is mine to kill!" Then Rich's make-up went off and it turned out he was a witch! Worst of all the wart was HUGE! Then Andrew pushed Prof. Sheep off board while he wasn't looking. After that Prof. Sheep swam to the jungle Andrew followed him but, he lost him. Witch was long gone in his back-up yacht. After a couple minutes Andrew heard something he started fast-walking he heard it again he started jogging he heard it again and ran for his life and standing in front of him was Tarzan! Tarzan said "You help me?" Andrew said "With what?" "Evil walking lambchop makes black gas go in sky." "Okay lead me to him." said Andrew. Then, Tarzan led him to a hole and said "He in here." "Okay" said Andrew. He fell down and there was a arrow trap and Tarzan got hit! Tarzan died. Then Andrew shot Prof. Sheep he died then Tarzan's family came down and just stared at his body but, it was fading away same with Prof. Sheep's. Andrew checked down the hall and he saw a portal He went in He saw a big throne and this place had no gravity Andrew flew and he screamed stop and he fell down he thought "Maybe you can choose to have gravity or not." He walked to the throne and saw Prof. Sheep he said "Where's Tarzan!" Prof. Sheep said "The portal doesn't work if you die. Build me a new one and I'll show you." Andrew built one the Prof. Sheep ran in Andrew said "What about our deal!" but, Prof. Sheep was too far to hear. Andrew found Tarzan broke him out of the little box and let him go through the portal. Then they lost Prof. Sheep. Andrew said "We'll get him one day." Someone came down and said "I'm Bob!" "That's nice said Andrew." "Will you be my friend?" "Sure." Said Andrew "Yay!" yelled Bob "MY LITTLE PONY!!" Andrew thought "Did this guy get dropped on his head when he was little or something?" To be continued...

Q: How can I write an excel formula to do row based calculations; where certain conditions need to be met? I am given:
An excel sheet contains around 200 tasks (described in rows 2-201 in Column A).
Each task can be elegible for a max of two projects (There are 4 projects in total, called "P1-P4" - drop down lists in Columns B and D); and this with a specific %-rate allocation (columns C & E - Column C refers to the Project Column B, and Column E refers to the Project in Column D).
Column F shows the amount of work days spent on each task.
Example in row 2:
Task 1 (Column A); P1 (Column B) ; 80% (Column C) ; P3 (Column D) ; 20% (Column E) ; 3 (Column F)
I need to know the sum of the working days spent on Project P3 respecting the %-rate for elegibility.
I know how to calculate it for each Task (each Row) - e.g. for Task 1:
=IF(B2="P3";C2*F2)+IF(D2="P3";E2*F2)
However instead of repeating this for each task, I need a formula that adds them all together.
Unfortunately the following formula shows me an error:
=IF(B2:B201="P3";C2:C201*F2:F201)+IF(D2:D201="P3";E2:E201*F2:F201)
Can anyone help please? Thank you!!

A: You can use SUMPRODUCT() in this case to do what you want...multiply the % by the hours for matching projects.  The following is one formula:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(B2:B201="P3"),C2:C201,F2:F201)
        + SUMPRODUCT(--(D2:D201="P3"),E2:E201,F2:F201)

Essentially you are checking all of B against "P1" and if it equals, it is a 1, if it fails it is a 0, then you multiply that by the % in C and the Days in F.
Here's a great reference for the SUMPRODUCT formula and the tricks you can do with it: http://chandoo.org/wp/2009/11/10/excel-sumproduct-formula/

The cash compensation that an employee receives, including their base salary and variable pay, is typically considered the largest reward for their work. But in many cases, the non-monetary compensation benefits your organization offers can be equally important to attracting and retaining top talent.
Just because these non-monetary compensation elements won't fit in your employees' wallets doesn't mean they're not a valuable part of the total compensation package your organization offers – and you need to make sure you employees are aware of the additional investments you're making to ensure their wellbeing.
Non-monetary compensation is defined as any compensation rewarded to an employee in a non-cash form. On a simple level, that could mean a trip awarded to "Salesperson of the Month," where the award has a value but is not paid out as additional cash their paycheck. However, the modern workplace provides many other types of non-monetary rewards, whose total value may be less evident to employees at first glance.
Many employees in your organization may not even be aware of all the non-monetary rewards they receive, so it's important to ensure that you're communicating the value of these reward types effectively. If you organization offers any of the non-monetary rewards below, make sure to emphasize them across all stages of the employee lifecycle – from pre-hire to retire.
Health and wellness benefits, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, are the most common types of benefits provided by employers.
Retirement plans, like 401(k) plans, are the second major type of benefit. Retirement plans are even more valuable when employers match the employee contribution, whether in part or in full.
Income replacement plans include short-term disability plans (which typically offer a 3 to 6 month benefit period) and long-term disability plans (which can offer 50 to 60 percent of your salary after your short-term disability plan runs out).
Your organization may also offer unique benefits that don't exist anywhere else. If you're like one of the organization's below, consider dedicated messaging about your unique offering.
Harper Collins India offers pawternity leave after adopting a new pet.
Evernote provides free house cleaning while you're at the office.
REI provides 'Yay Days' where employees are encouraged to get outdoors.
Time off from work includes Paid Time Off (PTO), such as vacation and sick time. It also includes time off without pay, such as unpaid sabbaticals and leave mandated by the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). FMLA-mandated leave includes traditional maternity and paternity leave, as well as leave associated with adoptions, the foster care placement of a child, personal or family illness, and/or family military leave.
Career growth and development opportunities help your employees enhance their job-related skills, often setting them up to take on new, expanded projects or roles in the future. These can include stretch projects, opportunities to attend or present at an industry conference, temporary assignments to teams that are designing an exciting new product, as well as on- and off-site classes and training sessions.
Development opportunities at your organization make take the form of tuition reimbursement, job rotations, mentoring sessions, and similar programs. These types of offerings are a critical part of your total rewards strategy, as they help you grow your current workforce and ensure succession planning is in place for critical roles. And as employees become more and more invested in their own career pathing and planning, enabling talent mobility in your organization can become a strategic retention plan.

Employee recognition awards are typically given to publicly acknowledge major performance milestones and other positive employee behaviors that goes above and beyond the typical call of duty. While these rewards can include something of nominal monetary value (e.g., celebratory lunches, dinners, or gift certificates), they are considered forms of non-monetary compensation.
Examples of employee recognition awards include peer-to-peer awards, above-and-beyond performance awards, and employee of the month or team of the month awards.
Work/life benefits include the policies and services your organization has put in place to help employees better balance obligations at the office and at home. These benefits can include workplace flexibility programs like flex time, telework or work-from-home (WFH) opportunities, compressed workweeks, and employer-provided services like on-site child care centers.
Are Stock Options Non-Monetary Rewards?
Although many employees think of stocks as non-monetary forms of compensation, stock options and awards are typically categorized as long-term incentives and not as non-monetary awards. This is because they are usually performance-based, and can be converted to cash (although this may happen at a later date). Stock options are often deferred, are vested over time, and sometimes treated differently than ordinary income for tax purposes.
Offering even just a few of these benefits can help you greatly enhance the overall employee value proposition at your organization and improve employee performance as a result. Understanding what other employers in your pay markets are offering for benefits can be a critical first step in determining which benefits your organization should invest in.
Many employees think of their compensation in terms of base pay and bonus pay. But the types of non-monetary compensation outlined here can represent a significant investment on the part of your organization. Therefore, establishing a competitive total compensation package is only the first step towards attracting and retaining top talent.
Communicating about pay with employees is a critical part of ensuring compensation program success, and can ultimately help you with your recruiting and retention efforts.

In the Multiverse of Madness Headlines
RUMOR MILL: Marvel Studios Developing MIDNIGHT SONS Movie With Blade, Ghost Rider, Moon Knight, And More
This is a rumour that should be taken with a pinch of salt, but it's said that Marvel Studios is in the early stages of developing a movie focusing on characters like Doctor Strange, Blade, and Blackout.
Filed Under: "In the Multiverse of Madness" Source: That Hashtag Show
In "Rumor Mill," we share the hard to buy rumours that don't come from reliable sources like the trades, but are still more believable (just) than what you might find on Reddit.
Earlier this week, it was reported that Ghost Rider is set to make his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Now, That Hashtag Show has followed up by claiming that a Midnight Sons movie is in the works at Marvel Studios.
We know that there are lots of upcoming projects that have yet to be officially announced, so this is certainly possible. However, the level of detail the site has shared does make us question the report!
So, take this with a pinch of salt, but this roster of supernatural superheroes will reportedly consist of Doctor Strange, Moon Knight, Blade, Hannibal King, Daimon Hellstrom, Ghost Rider, and the Scarlet Witch. King and Hellstrom will supposedly first show up in the Blade movie starring Mahershala Ali.
It's added that the plan is for Blackout to be the lead villain, with Mephisto teased throughout because Marvel Studios hopes to introduce multiple major threats in the MCU moving forward.
This reads a little like fan-fiction, but it would certainly make sense for Kevin Feige to make use of these supernatural characters by having them appear in a team-up movie. The most recent Midnight Sons roster included Bats, Blade, Doctor Voodoo, Elsa Bloodstone, Iron Fist, Man-Thing, Mr. Knight, Scarlet Spider, and Wong.
Unfortunately, we're unlikely to get any concrete Phase 5 announcements for another year or two.
Click on the "Next" button below to check out the
biggest Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness rumours!
8. There Could Be Some Crazy Cameos
The expectation is that Doctor Strange in the Mulitverse of Madness will include visits to any number of alternate Earths and timelines, and with Sam Raimi at the helm, many fans have been keeping everything crossed that Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man could make a surprise appearance.
That's one popular theory online, but The Direct shared a wacky scoop not too long ago claiming Tom Cruise has been enlisted to play Tony Stark from another Earth (he was up for the lead role in Iron Man before Robert Downey Jr. landed the gig).
This is certainly an interesting rumour, and Cruise has been in the UK shooting the latest Mission: Impossible movie meaning it could work logistically. We're sure the actor wouldn't turn down a cameo like this one, but until we hear something from more reliable sources, it's best not to get too excited.
However, stranger things have happened in the MCU over the years...
7. Doctor Strange Is Getting A New Costume
Marvel Studios has always done a great job with the costumes worn by the Marvel Cinematic Universe's biggest heroes and villains, but it sounds like big changes might be in store for Doctor Strange. While the Sorcerer Supreme has looked pretty cool up until now, it seems Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness director Sam Raimi has some ideas of his own.
According to Discussing Film, "one source just teased to us that the crew have designed a new, comic accurate look for Doctor Strange himself."
We don't have any further details when it comes to what that might look like, but it's no secret that Raimi is a huge fan of Steve Ditko's artwork. In Thor: Ragnarok, Taika Waititi gave Strange his yellow gloves from the comics, but they had vanished by the time Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame rolled around.
This feels like the right move from Strange, especially as he's likely fully embraced his role as Earth's Sorcerer Supreme after everything that's happened in the MCU these past few years.
6. Big Plans To Reintroduce Ghost Rider
There have been rumblings that Marvel Studios has plans for Ghost Rider in the MCU for a while now, but a recent report from That Hashtag Show indicated that he'll debut in this sequel.
We don't have any details beyond that, but if it's true that Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is leaning into Sam Raimi's horror roots, then this could be a fitting place for Johnny Blaze to show up (especially if Mephisto is, in fact, the sequel's lead villain).
Sony's Ghost Rider movies sucked, but the character has always looked incredible on screen. A rebooted version is long overdue, and this could be a stepping stone for much bigger things.
We're not banking on this one panning out, but remain optimistic that it could...
5. Earth-616
We're hoping that the title isn't a misdirect and that this movie will take us on a crazy trip through the Marvel Cinematic Universe's version of the Multiverse. As we've mentioned, that means visiting alternate realities, and there are a lot of rumours out there about which worlds the Sorcerer Supreme will touch down on.
Now, we may have confirmation of at least one of those realities thanks to a listing on the Spotlight talent agency, Unlike IMDb, this isn't a site that random people can make changes to, and one of their clients, Jon Prophet, has been listed on there as "New Yorker 616" in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
"616" is definitely a number that should ring a bell; the main Marvel Universe where the original versions of iconic superheroes like Spider-Man, the Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four call home.
This means Strange would most likely cross paths with the comic book versions of familiar characters. Given the ever-changing nature of the Marvel Universe, we'd be willing to bet that we'll see the classic versions of Earth's Mightiest Heroes from back when Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, and Jack Kirby were calling the shots.
4. Chris Evans' Two Surprising Roles
Recently, Variety reported on plans for Chris Evans to return to the MCU, and Giant Freaking Robot claims to know which two roles the actor will play. Yes, you read that correctly: two!
According to the site, which reported on Don Cheadle's The Falcon and The Winter Soldier role before the actor himself confirmed the news, Evans will return as Captain America in the Doctor Strange sequel. However, he'll reportedly be playing the "Captain HYDRA" version of Steve Rogers from the Secret Empire storyline.
As for the second role, it's said he'll don his old Fantastic Four uniform to play the Human Torch again. That's a bonkers idea, but it might be fun to return to that world ahead of the MCU reboot.
Unfortunately, this is another relatively unreliable source for news, but it weirdly makes sense. There have been plenty of big rumours we've discounted over the years because they sound ludicrous, only to see them actually be proven correct. As a result, we're not writing this one off just yet!
3. The MCU's Illuminati
Another interesting rumour from Giant Freakin Robot claims that Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will finally bring the Illuminati into the MCU.
The members we'll see here are reportedly Professor X, Mister Fantastic, and Namor the Sub-Mariner. While we could believe that the latter would show up, it seems way too soon to add Charles Xavier and Reed Richards to this shared world. After all, there are still no sign of mutants, while Mister Fantastic's introduction is best saved for Fantastic Four.
Seeing Strange decide he needs to bring together a group like this would be no bad thing, though, and it's possible an alternate version of these characters will be revealed as villains at some point.
We'll see, but here's hoping the Illuminati show up sooner rather than later, eh?
2. An Unexpected New Ally For The Sorcerer Supreme
There's a lot we don't know about Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but the title itself drops one big hint about how Sam Raimi's sequel will play out! We know Elizabeth Olsen will return as the Scarlet Witch, of course, while Xochitl Gomez is playing the dimension-hopping America Chavez.
However, it seems she won't be the only character in this movie with the ability to travel between worlds. According to The Direct, Adam Hugill (1917) is set to play Rintrah.
The magically powered Minotaur hails from the planet R'Vaal and, as noted, can travel from his dimension to others. In one storyline, he helped the Sorcerer Supreme repair his Cloak of Levitation (thanks to his master, Enitharmon the Weaver). Thanos did appear to damage Strange's cape in Avengers: Infinity War, so that's one likely possibility for how Rintrah will be used here.
Strange once even managed to possess Rintrah to fend off some formidable enemies, so we're definitely intrigued to see just how weird things get in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Leaked concept art appears to have confirmed his role too.
1. Speed And Wiccan Return
There were rumblings about Speed and Wiccan being in this sequel before WandaVision even arrived on Disney+, and some digging into Julian Hilliard and Jett Klyne's social media posts have indicated that Billy and Tommy will be part of proceedings.
It makes sense given how things ended for the Scarlet Witch in that Disney+ series, and the premise of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness being Wanda tearing through the Multiverse searching for her children is one that makes sense. By the time all is said and done, we're banking on them being aged up into their superhero personas.
It's possible Marvel Studios will wait until Hilliard and Klyne grow into the roles, of course, but something tells us that there are big plans in place for Speed and Wiccan.
We'll see, but don't be surprised if the search for Billy and Tommy is confirmed in the eventual trailer...

If the Sex is "Fake," Is it Still Sexual?
We've gotten it into our heads that the sexuality on display in sex scenes isn't "real." Since intercourse (usually) doesn't take place1; and since the costars are (sometimes) not in an off-screen relationship, and therefore wouldn't participate in such actions otherwise; and because film sets are (occasionally) sparsely populated during intimate scenes in an attempt to maintain professionalism, such actions shouldn't be labeled as sexual.
Let me share a simple illustration that helps us clear away the fog. In a recent Facebook discussion, I saw one lady make an astute observation (which I have only slightly edited):
If you come upon your wife and she's covered in "blood" and writhing on the ground while someone stands over her with a bloody sword, and then she sees you and says, "Oh, we're just cosplaying and this is raspberry syrup," you'd laugh and say, "Wow, that was realistic." Whereas if she were naked with some guy and they were swapping spit and rubbing up on each other, and she sees you and says, "Oh, we were just cosplaying a scene from Game of Thrones"—it's an entirely different matter. Yes?
Yes it is. And the parallel she draws between violence and sexuality is helpful. Pretending to have sex with someone in front of the camera is quite different from pretending to shoot someone in front of the camera. An on-screen shooting is not real—not the bullet, not the wound, not the blood (if any is shown). The actor isn't harmed in any way. There's even an off-screen mat to catch the gun "victim" when he falls down.
On the other hand, a naked actor is still a real human being who is naked. Her (or his) nakedness and her sexual interaction with her costar are not special effects. When sexual organs are either on display or actively engaged—even if the act of intercourse itself is simulated—the proceedings are very real, and very sexual.
It could be argued that not all activities involving sexual organs are inherently sexual. That is true. Doctor examinations, emergency medical attention (CPR, etc.), autopsies—these experiences could be perverted into sexual situations, but they are not inherently so.
But we're not talking about giving medical attention or solving a crime, are we? We're talking about "swapping spit" and "rubbing up on each other"—stuff strangers, friends, and married people don't just walk around doing to others (for good reasons).
The argument might be made that sex scenes aren't sexual because the actors aren't sexually aroused during the process. While it is often true that some actors—especially women—don't find the filming of sex scenes arousing or enjoyable, what does that prove? Is sexual arousal, or lack therefore, the determining factor for whether an act is sexual or not? In acts such as prostitution, rape, and pedophilia, sexual arousal is most decidedly not a universally experienced component, but that doesn't eliminate their sexual nature.
Later on in this blog series, I will attempt to show that actors—especially men—often do experience sexual arousal during the filming of intimate scenes. Their natural biological response is sexual because the situation is sexual. I don't mean to imply that tantalization and sexual arousal are synonymous with lust. I only mean to show what I've heard many people deny: that mainstream sex scenes are devoid of eros and are therefore asexual.
What about the level of professionalism involved in sex scenes? A film set is more professional than a porn set, I'll grant you that. But that's damning with faint praise. It's an argument I've heard too many times: "It's not as bad as…" The person using this argument is using a standard with which to compare the sex scene, and the standard has nothing to do with Scripture. It has to do with the lowest common denominator. Of course it's going to look better than that!
As far as I can tell, Scripture makes no prohibition against playing pretend. Acting the part of an antagonist doesn't necessitate violating God's law to love your neighbor. Pretending to shoot or kill someone doesn't necessitate violating God's laws prohibiting revenge or murder. Pretending to be married to someone doesn't necessitate violating God's laws against adultery. Heck, playing a character who has or does or will carry out devious sexual acts doesn't necessitate violating God's requirements for purity.
What God's law does prohibit is sexually acting out with someone other than your spouse. Or, to be more specific, it prohibits sexual intercourse outside marriage. And lest we think that we're safe so long as we avoid blatant adultery or fornication, the Bible prohibits sexual lust that involves only internal actions (Pr. 6:25; Matt. 5:28), equating them with the act of adultery itself.
With that in mind, do we really want to draw the line of sexual purity right at copulation? Do we really want to say that foreplay, which naturally and intrinsically precedes sexual intercourse, can be employed without even a hint of sexuality? That the only really sacred part of sex is the act of penetration itself, and that everything up to that point is (potential) fodder for public consumption? Are we content with such a blasé view of one of God's greatest gifts to humankind?
Where is the pure and holy and satisfying fun in that?

1 I say "usually" because of the rare occasion (like with the film Lust, Caution) where it's rumored that actors might have had intercourse during the filming of a sex scene. In fac, we will see in a future installment of this series that it is more common for actors to engage in actual sex for the camera than one might expect.↩

President of RP attends the UNCCC Session in Poznan
On 11 December 2008, in Poznan the President of the Republic of Poland, Mr Lech Kaczyński took part in the opening of the High-Level Segment of the 14 Session of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Upon his arrival to Poznan, President Lech Kaczyński met with the UN Secretary General, Mr Ban Ki-moon. The President of RP and the UN Secretary General made a very positive assessment of the progress of the Poznan Conference theretofore. The Secretary General emphasized the efficient organization of the Conference and the active leadership of Poland as the host of the Conference. While congratulating Poland on the success in organizing the works of the Conference, Mr Ban Ki-moon noted that the Conference was now entering its most important stage and that its participants were facing a difficult task of bringing closer their positions on the most important issues at stake.
The President of RP and the UN Secretary General unanimously underscored that the success of the Poznan Conference would send a very important political signal in pursuit of the agreement to be reached at the Climate Conference in Copenhagen 2009.
In Poznan, President Lech Kaczyński also met with the Prime Minister of Sweden, Mr Frederik Reinfeldt. In the discussion, the interlocutors took stock of the Climate Conference in Poznan so far. President Lech Kaczyński and Prime Minister Reinfeldt expressed their hope that the conference would end with success and would help to bring closer individual positions in key areas of negotiations. The Prime Minister of Sweden congratulated Poland as the host of the Conference on the efficient management of the proceedings and the active leadership in the ongoing negotiations.
In the course of the meeting, also prospects for the forthcoming European Council Meeting to be held on 11 December in Brussels were covered. The President of RP and the Prime Minister of Sweden expressed their hope for compromise on the climate and energy package. Also ratification of the Lisbon Treaty was raised in the discussion. The President of RP confirmed that Poland would not be in the way of the ratification of the Treaty. Both interlocutors shared hope that during the session of the Council, the Irish side would provide further information about the intended steps to be taken on the ratification of the Treaty.

The Truth About Drinking Deionized Water
The water you drink is decontaminated and filtered to make it safe to drink. But drinking water still contains minerals, also referred to as ions, such as sodium, magnesium and iron. Deionizing the water takes out these minerals to create a more pure water. While there are uses for deionized water, removing the minerals is not always best.
Deionized water is free of minerals.
Credit: Design Pics/Design Pics/Getty Images
Nothing Wrong With Minerals
Although water is not a significant source of calcium and magnesium, it does help contribute to your daily needs. Drinking deionized water limits your intake of these essential nutrients. Both magnesium and calcium are important for bone health. In addition to supporting bone health, the calcium and magnesium in water may also be good for your heart. The World Health Organization reports that water with low levels of magnesium is associated with higher rates of heart disease.
Taste and Thirst
Minerals in water add taste. WHO notes that people often don't like the taste of deionized water when they first drink it. While your taste buds may adjust to the tasteless water over time, you may seek out other beverages in the interim, says WHO, which may include less health-promoting choices such as soda. Additionally, WHO reports that deionized water is not as thirst-quenching as water with minerals.
Risk of Toxic Metals
If you get your deionized water from the tap, you may be at risk of toxic metal contamination. Deionized water is more susceptible to attracting the metals found in your plumbing than mineralized water because it is a less stable form of water. The calcium and magnesium in regular water may help prevent the accumulation of toxic substances in your drinking water by stabilizing the water and acting as antitoxic substances.
Better In Industry
While there may be some concerns on how deionized water affects your health, the mineral-free water has its purpose that may indirectly benefit your health. Water is used as base for testing air quality. If the water used to test the air contained minerals, you would not get an accurate reading of what's in the air. It's also used to test soil quality for farmers, which may affect the nutrients found in the foods grown on the farm.

A Few Points About Multiple Viewpoints
January 22, 2021 susanandjohnruff
So whose novel is it anyway? Well, yes, of course, it's the author's book. But which character or characters are the focus of the story? Whose thoughts and observations drive the narrative? From which character's point of view is the story told?
When I first started writing, I did not understand the concept of character point of view. I'm certainly no expert on the subject today, but I have done enough story critiquing (and had my own writing critiqued enough) to recognize a point of view shift in a story when I see it. No doubt there are treatises and "how-to" books out there to describe and define what constitutes character point of view. I don't feel qualified to do that.
What I can do is give you my favorite example of viewpoint shift within a story. In Chapter Three of the Fellowship of the Ring ("Three is Company"), the story is mostly being told from Frodo's point of view (though not completely). At one point, as the Hobbits are traveling through the Shire, the viewpoint abruptly shifts for about a paragraph to a "fox passing through the wood on business of his own…." We read the fox's thoughts and are told "but he never found out any more about it." The next paragraph then shifts back to Frodo's point of view as he wakes up the next morning. I always felt sorry for that fox because he never learned the full story!
Many years ago, a person critiquing one of my manuscripts told me that a book should be written from a single character's point of view. I respectfully disagree. That is certainly the most commonly used method of storytelling in modern novels, but I have also read excellent novels told in multiple viewpoints. On the whole, however, if there are going to be multiple point of view characters, I prefer a clear demarcation between viewpoint shifts, such as separate chapters for different viewpoints or, at least, section breaks between them.
As a writer, my "default setting" tends toward ensemble casts, in which the book is told from more than one character's point of view. There were five point of view characters in 60th Hour and there are three in the current draft of Prophecy's Malignant Son.
I suspect my preference comes from my fondness for table-top role playing games. In a really good, story-driven rpg, the game master makes sure that each player-character at the table gets his or her moment in the spotlight. If one character is the real protagonist and the others are just there to bolster that character's plotline, it will rapidly become a boring game for anyone except the person playing the main character.
There are both advantages and challenges to writing a novel with multiple point of view characters. Multiple viewpoints allow the action of the story to occur in two different places at the same time. The author can create mini-cliffhangers as the story abruptly shifts from the events involving one character to a different character. In addition, the writer can have fun describing a character in different ways depending on whose viewpoint is currently being portrayed.
One of the challenges with writing multiple viewpoint novels involves making sure that each viewpoint character is different from the others. Each character in a novel should be unique, of course, with a separate personality, but that is particularly true with point of view characters. Their thoughts, experiences, and outlook on the world should differ from the others.
Timing can also be tricky with multiple viewpoints. With a single viewpoint character, the story tends to be linear. With multiple viewpoint characters in different scenes, it may get confusing for the reader as to what events are occurring at what point. You may need to draft a timeline as an author to keep track of concurrent events.
The recent movie Dunkirk had a fascinating twist on the concept of multiple viewpoints and timing, with three stories set in different timetables being told at the same time. Even though the movie announced that would happen right from the beginning, it still took me a large part of the movie to actually appreciate what was going on.
The idea of timing recently hit home for me, when I was drafting Prophecy's Malignant Son. I changed the length of time that passed in one chapter from a week to a month. That meant I had to revise the timeline for the concurrent chapters involving the other point of view characters to make the story consistent. Despite the extra work, I still think the story will be better for the change.
There is another question I cannot answer. When, if ever, do you hyphenate the words "point of view" when used in a sentence? For purposes of this blog post, I decided to forego hyphens between those three words, but if I have done so in error, you can all laugh at me behind my back!

You hyphenate when it's an adjective? Like point-of-view character.

New Jersey officials recently opened a regional information sharing center that will allow state and local law enforcement agencies to access technology and information, with the ultimate goal of reducing crimes and improving the quality of life in Newark and surrounding communities.
The Corr-Stat Real Time Crime Center (RTCC), launched in Newark in December 2014, "increases the response, analysis and support police officers need at crime scenes," according to a blog from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence's Information Sharing Environment (ISE).
Its mission is to develop a network that will gather, receive, analyze and distribute real-time tactical intelligence and support to law enforcement agencies operating within the Corr-Stat Region, which represents more than 80 cities along the Route 21 Corridor of Northeast New Jersey, from Jersey City to Paterson, and including Newark.
Housed at the Newark Police Department headquarters, RTCC will function as part of a broader information sharing initiative among the New Jersey Regional Operations Intelligence Center, the Newark Police Department and other law enforcement agencies.
RTCC will allow investigators to access and analyze data from a range of agencies through a single portal. With a unified data access point, users will more readily "find connections between the all crimes suspicious activity reports, other data such as arrests, shooting, carjackings and incident information," noted a fact sheet from the Division of Criminal Justice, New Jersey State Police.
RTCC's technology was created from equipment already owned by various local law enforcement agencies, said officials at the unveiling, some of which was acquired for last year's Super Bowl and other major events.
They used tools such as GitHub-based Project Interoperability, a start-up guide for information interoperability for government employees, and the National Information Exchange Model, a standards-based approach to exchanging information, according to ISE.
New Jersey chose Newark as RTCC's base because a disproportionate amount of crimes, including 20 percent of burglaries across the entire state, are committed in the Corr-Stat Region, according to the fact sheet.
The RTCC technology is part of a broader information sharing initiative among the New Jersey Regional Operations Intelligence Center, the Newark Police Department and other law enforcement agencies, according to an announcement to the media of the launch.
Prior to RTCC, there was no automated or formalized way to capture, analyze and share criminal activities or suspicious behavior across New Jersey, limiting an investigator's access to data and ability to identify patterns and trends in criminal activity.
"This is going to be the first time in this country that we're looking at crime as a region," said Col. Rick Fuentes of the State Police, reported NJ.com. Officials are in talks to expand the collaboration initiative to New York, added Fuentes.
The Smart Policing Initiative, a Bureau of Justice Assistance-sponsored initiative supporting law enforcement agencies in building evidence-based, data-driven law enforcement tactics, has provided funding to 30 law enforcement agencies to help them with their technology initiatives.

DAS KAPITAL: Banking Elites Are Using Crypto Bloodbath And FTX Fraud To Justify CBDCs
SM / December 1, 2022
Source – zerohedge.com
"…The investment losses in blockchain products along with the scandals in exchanges is a rather convenient opportunity for the banking establishment to promote their own currencies as a replacement. In the wake of the FTX event, multiple international banks including JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs have called for government regulation and a shift over to CBDCs"
Banking Elites Are Using Crypto Bloodbath And FTX Fraud To Justify CBDCs
Central bankers and international corporate financiers have long been pretending to hate the very concept of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Etherium while at the same time investing heavily in blockchain technologies and infrastructure. The purpose of the ruse is not clear, but more than likely it was an attempt at mass reverse psychology – "We don't like crypto and digital currencies because we supposedly have no control over them; free market proponents should embrace them blindly because that is how you will beat us."
In the meantime, while major banking firms are investing billions into various blockchain products, central banks and global institutions like the BIS and IMF have been developing their own systems. In fact, the BIS notes with enthusiasm that around 90% of central banks around the world are already in the process of adopting CBDCs.
But why would anyone want to use government and establishment bank controlled cryptocurrencies when they have access to Bitcoin and dozens of other coins that are supposedly independent? Why trade freedom for more centralization?
First, existing cryptocurrencies are not as free as many people believe, with ample government tracking of blockchain transactions in place for years, the notion of the completely anonymous crypto user is a bit of a fantasy, and the idea that a product such as Bitcoin is going to "bring down" the central banks is becoming less realistic by the year.
Second, the crypto market is highly unstable in part because it is still very limited. While crypto use in America is higher than most other countries with around 12% of people using it as an investment (not as a currency), the rest of the world is mostly uninterested with an estimated global footprint of around 4%. Of that 4% only a handful of people actually own the majority of the market; these people are known as "whales" and they have the ability to tip the market up or down with little effort.
This happens in many other trade commodities and paper currencies also. The point is, crypto is not immune to manipulation.
Third, crypto is enticing to people because of the quick profits that can be had, but massive losses are also a danger. The overall crypto market has plunged by $2 trillion in the past year alone – Over 60% of its value. The implosion of huge trading companies like FTX also undermines the stability of the market and usually it's the average investor that ends up suffering the consequences.
All of these factors and more can be used by banking elites as a rationale for the implementation of CBDCs and global regulation of crypto trading. And, if the bloodbath in existing coins continues, people may even welcome CBDCs as a "safe" investment or currency system.
The investment losses in blockchain products along with the scandals in exchanges is a rather convenient opportunity for the banking establishment to promote their own currencies as a replacement. In the wake of the FTX event, multiple international banks including JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs have called for government regulation and a shift over to CBDCs.
The US House has scheduled hearings on FTX with an emphasis on regulation. In Europe, globalist Christine Lagarde and the ECB are calling for global cooperation on monitoring and controlling cryptocurrencies. Lagarde wants a "digital Euro" to take the place of existing coins and blames FTX and the larger market losses on lack of oversight.
Numerous crypto analysts are also demanding regulation, calling crypto "broken and useless" until governments step in to mediate (control) trade. This is the exact opposite of what crypto activists originally intended over a decade ago when Bitcoin was in its infancy, and digital trade back then was sold as some kind of revolution against the banking oligarchy. However, it's easy to see where this is all going.
It means even more pervasive centralization. With paper currencies at least there is true anonymity, but with CBDCs the existence of the blockchain ledger precludes any and all privacy in trade. Not only that, but the institutional ability to cut off people from their wealth and economic access is going to be profound. If you think corporate and government led cancel culture is bad now, just wait until they can freeze your digital accounts at a moment's notice because of something you said on social media. And, in a cashless society there are few alternatives beyond some kind of black market.
CBDCs mean the total death of any economic freedom the public has left, and central banks are exploiting disasters like FTX to make that death happen even faster.

Melissa Elliott is an American rapper, singer-songwriter, record producer, dancer and actress. A five-time Grammy Award-winner, Elliott is known for a series of hits and diverse music videos. There's a reason why Missy Elliot stepped out of the spotlight for a while. Elliott told People magazine that her absence from the music industry was due to a hyperthyroid disorder known as Graves' disease. This is an autoimmune disorder that affects the thyroid gland and can cause such symptoms as fatigue, goiter, and eye problems. She was so sick at one point that she couldn't write or drive a car. There is no cure for the disease, but there are treatments that seem to be helping her live her life.

This 60 cell (6x10 matrix) module is the most efficient, highest performing mono-crystalline solar panel in its class.
Trina Solar's Honey Plus cells deliver higher efficiencies and power output - with a maximum cell efficiency of 18.9%. Combined with Trina Solar's standard 10 year product and 25 year linear power output warranties, Honay Plus is one investment that lets you rest easy and enjoy the sweet returns.
The panel can be used for grid interactive or stand alone applications. You would need a MPPT capable regulator or an AC bus system for the latter. Please note: the panel is 35mm thick (unlike some older Trina Solar modules).
