How to Get Readers to Feel Those Emotional Twists
Every bit of triumph or heartache has to be built up by the storyteller.

Zuko's character arc is so intense it gives him a fever.
Nothing evokes emotion by default. Every bit of triumph or heartache has to be built up by the storyteller. So if you're wondering why your big emotional scenes aren't emotional to your audience, it could be because you've invested too little in the elements that they need to care about. Let's go over what you might need to set up to get a later payoff.
Building Attachment to Side Characters
Many emotional moments require being attached to a specific character. This makes the audience feel sad if the character perishes, worry if the character is in danger, or look forward to the character's success. While getting audiences attached to the main character is always important, how much audiences need to care about other characters depends on the story.
Identifying Which Characters Need Attachment
In some stories, side characters only matter because of their utility to the main character, and that's fine. For instance, maybe your main character is sick and a healer is cooking up a cure. If the healer is killed before they are done, audiences may not cry over it, but they'll care because the main character won't get their cure. If you're just trying to keep the audience engaged without wasting extra time, that'll do it.
Attachment to side characters is necessary when:
Their death should be a tragedy in its own right. If you want to depict war as destructive or demonstrate the harm of misinformation, then the audience should care about the people who are hurt, even if they aren't the main character.
A character's welfare is used as the stakes of a conflict. If your main character will spend a significant chunk of the story trying to rescue or otherwise help a side character, then the audience should care about that character. Otherwise, the story won't have as much tension and the audience could get bored.
They have their own arc that will feature heavily in the story, particularly if their success or failure won't impact the main character. If you plan to devote several scenes to how they discover their lost heritage or face their demons, then you'll want to keep the audience interested while you do that.
Judging How Much Emphasis You'll Need
Happily, the likability requirements for a side character are usually lower than for a main character. The beginning of a story needs to get the audience very attached to the main character quickly, so storytellers bring out the big guns: a sympathetic backstory, selfless deeds, and relatable or entertaining characteristics.
As long as your side character has lots of scenes with your main character, you'll be able to build attachment slowly. Generally, a side character who has fun interactions with the main character, assists the main character, and has interesting traits will endear themself to the audience over time. Just avoid making them annoying.
However, you could need something stronger if:
the character isn't featured in many scenes
the audience needs to care about them early in the story
the character will be disliked at first, perhaps because they are a villain with a redemption arc
In that case, you can use a similar strategy to what we recommend for main characters. Give them sympathetic problems, emphasize how they've helped others at significant cost to themself, or both. For instance, audiences welcomed Zuko's redemption arc in Avatar: The Last Airbender because they knew he'd been banished by his father for speaking out of turn when he was only 13, and they watched him rescue members of his crew in an early episode.
When you invest in side characters, be conscious of whether you are taking time away from your throughline, main character, and other central story elements. If you push pause for several scenes while you develop a character the audience doesn't know or love yet, they may feel bored or even resent that character.
Instead, you can multitask developing the character and moving the plot forward, or you can skip the full scenes in favor of slipping in a little exposition about their tragic backstory and noble deeds. Later, when the audience is already fond of the side character, you can take a little time away – but still be aware that you're slowing the story down.
Making Relationships Compelling
If you have a relationship arc in your story or the health of a relationship serves as the stakes of a conflict, you'll need your audience to care about it. While it certainly helps if they like the characters involved, that doesn't guarantee they'll want those characters to be close. For that, sell them on the relationship itself.
Why You Should Bolster Important Relationships
A family reconciliation, romance arc, and friendship arc all share the same basic characteristics, but they have slightly different strengths and liabilities when it comes to audience investment.
Family: It doesn't take much for audiences to understand why a relationship with an immediate family member is important. Our own bonds with our families make these struggles relatable. Even so, developing the relationship will make your story more powerful and reduce the chance that your audience will get fed up with a difficult family member.
Romance: Unlike family relationships, romances tend to divide audiences. Throw in a hot love interest, and some people will root for a hookup regardless of what else you do. But others won't. With additional time and thought, you can broaden the number of people your romance appeals to and make everyone care more about the relationship's success.
Friendships: Friendship arcs have neither the strengths nor liabilities of the previous two. While you'll need to show your audience why two characters should become friends, you'll be less tempted to neglect that in favor of relying on cultural notions about true love and family unity.
Making Relationships Feel Beneficial
Relationship arcs work a lot like other plot arcs. To get your audience to care, ask why the relationship matters. The answer usually comes in some form of benefit the characters have received – or could receive – by being close.
Ideally, the relationship will also feel uniquely beneficial. That means the characters can't or just don't get these same benefits from the other people around them. If a character is involved in more than one relationship arc, they should get different benefits from each person, so each relationship feels special and irreplaceable.
Mari admires her grandmother for patiently teaching her the stories, recipes, and songs of their ancestors. That cultural identity has made Mari more confident in herself. Her grandmother now gets fatigued quickly and has trouble going out, but Mari helps her make it to family events. When that's not possible, Mari convinces other family members to come visit.
For family relationships, various forms of mentorship and emotional support work well. Even if babies can't mow the lawn, they can still make adults feel loved and inspire them to better people.
Feeling out of place at magic college, Jordan struggles to do his spellwork. That is, until the day he's paired in class with Scott. After listening to Scott's calm and patient voice, Jordan's enchantment wows the whole room. Watching him excel gives Scott new hope. If he can bring a warm smile to Jordan's face, maybe he isn't destined for evil like everyone says.
Many audience members won't be satisfied with a romance that happens because a prophecy said so. Prove that prophecy right by demonstrating how, even without magic, the lovebirds would be well suited to each other.
Alex takes every opportunity to rebel, even when it means boycotting something they actually wanted to do. Riley is afraid to rock the boat, pleasing everyone else to a fault. When the two kids have to work together to save their school, Alex finds Riley too agreeable to alienate, and Riley finds Alex too ornery to please.
Even in friendships or romances where characters start off on the wrong foot, you can demonstrate how they might learn from each other or that they have needs the other person could fill.
For more ideas on making relationships mutually beneficial, see Five Relationship Dynamics for Stronger Romances.
Bringing Out Character Backstory
Many story events are meant to be powerful because of a character's personal history. However, even if the audience loves your main character, that doesn't mean they'll be sad simply because your main character is sad. To do that, you'll need to put them in the character's shoes.
Identifying Events Where Context Is Missing
Anytime a character has emotional turmoil caused by something the audience didn't experience directly, you'll need to invest in getting the audience on the same page. That might include:
A meeting with someone from a character's past. They might go to negotiate with an enemy faction only to discover the other negotiator is their ex. While your audience might think of this as a fun twist, they won't angst over it with your character unless you put in some groundwork.
A redemption arc for deeds committed before the story began. Perhaps your character is on a quest to save kidnapped villagers to make up for the character's past misdeeds. If you want your audience to feel their pang of guilt, they'll need to know the details of that history.
Counterintuitive behavior resulting from past trauma. Perhaps your character is refusing to learn from their mentor because the last time they followed orders, they were made to do something terrible. Getting your audience in their shoes will reduce frustration when they resist doing what the plot needs them to do.
Missing emotional context doesn't always come from backstory. It could also stem from important moments that occurred offscreen or narration that hides what a viewpoint character is thinking or feeling. However, anything like that should be corrected.
For optimal emotional impact, the audience should directly experience any event that occurs during the timeline of the story and significantly changes how the important characters feel. For more on that, see How to Choose Scenes for Your Story.
During any scene, your audience should have some idea about your character's feelings, thoughts, and motivation. See Conveying Character Emotion.
Filling in Missing Context
Making missing context impact the audience requires giving concrete details about the events that are missing. What context you fill in will depend on the emotions you'd like to evoke. In many cases, you'll want to add details to your character's backstory to bring out the right emotions.
Let's say your character is about to run into an old friend who betrayed them. Saying they "were betrayed" or even "when we got in trouble, they pinned it on me" will be too vague to evoke much emotion. Instead, describe or briefly summarize a specific incident.
You'll want to include:
Starting Context: For a betrayal to have emotional impact, the relationship that was destroyed has to be important. So start with a detail or two that establishes their friendship. You might say that they grew up on the same block, playing together as toddlers, or that one of them would sneak out of their room to visit the other late at night.
Instigating Events: Describe how they got in trouble. For maximum betrayal, it should feel like the friend's fault. Maybe the friend got bored one weekend and convinced the young protagonist to break into the local museum with them.
Emotional Turning Point: Then give the details of the betrayal. After they get caught, the friend claims the protagonist broke in alone, and the friend only showed up to stop them. Everyone believes the friend because they come from an "upstanding family."
Lasting Consequences: Don't forget how the events had a tangible impact on the protagonist's life. Maybe the protagonist goes to juvenile detention and the protagonist's family loses their home after being fined for damages.
Again, in a narrated work, this doesn't usually call for a full flashback scene. While a flashback scene could make the context more powerful, it comes at the cost of pausing the story. If the scene includes big reveals that have implications for the story going forward, then it might feel like part of the story's normal progression. Alternately, if the story is about these two friends, then this might actually be the story's beginning.
But in most cases, the tradeoff of a full scene isn't worth it. Using exposition to give audiences the specifics of what happened is sufficient for making backstory meaningful. For more on this, see Judging What Backstory to Keep and What to Let Go.
Emotional power depends on the right information. When the audience doesn't know things that the protagonist knows, you're most likely to lose impact. Simply keeping the audience informed goes a long way toward making the story meaningful.

Comments on How to Get Readers to Feel Those Emotional Twists
wnat
I used to not want to give my side characters backstories/goals that only exist to make them sympathetic, because I thought it was emotionally manipulative. Then I heard someone say all fiction is emotional manipulation, and the trick is to make the audience unaware of the manipulation.
I'm going through Pixar on Disney+ and they're amazing at emotional manipulation. In the prologues to Finding Nemo and Soul, they quickly show the character at the height of happiness, having gotten either a job or a batch of eggs, and then immediately take it away from them. Yes, it's manipulative, but it's effective.
Then I watched Up and I got sad, but I also started laughing because of how ridiculously over the top it was. You could replace the prologue with Pixar saying "Be sad" over and over.
I also think that showing the entire life of the protagonist made me realize he had no life outside of making me sad in a Pixar movie. I could imagine Marlin and Joe having lived lives up to that point that made them a complete person/fish.
(Of course, movies have the advantage of using music. You could take any scene and play sad strings over it and I'd feel sad.)
In reply to wnat
I think it also depends on how experienced, observant and sensitive a reader/viewer is. Some will spot the "emotional manipulation" faster, some will enjoy the work more for it, some will judge it to be cheap, some will feel drained. There are works I find to be straight up "emotional hostage and blackmail situations", but they have their dedicated audience, so what doesn't work for me clearly works for them.

'Perfect Storm': Pandemic Creates Wakeup Call for U.S. Drug Supply's Overseas Manufacturing Dependence
January 27, 2022 / Blog/ City of Petersburg/ Industrial Sites/ Partner News/ Pharma/ Regional News/ Why Locate in Virginia's Gateway Region
~ Realization and innovative solutions, partnerships, among factors that set the stage for the Petersburg, Va. 'Advanced Pharma' cluster ~
Over the past two years, the pandemic has shown us how some of the drug supply in the United States is heavily dependent on foreign manufacturing. Elso DiFranco, Executive Director & General Manager of AMPAC Fine Chemicals' facility in Petersburg, Virginia, agrees — he notes that it was the unique collaborations which followed that was developmental in driving Petersburg's "Advanced Pharmaceutical Manufacturing" cluster.

"In order to ensure an uninterrupted supply of pharmaceutical materials, these types of collaborations are crucial — that's the first part of the equation — the second part is then to have it all made in the U.S. again, to ensure the quality of these medicines. Then, we can ensure distribution and the formulation, so this collaboration of key industry players is very unique in that it takes into account the production and the formulation which allows it to all be finished right in this area and then, the availability will be there," DiFranco says.
"It was a natural progression … Virginia's Gateway Region really offered a 'ready solution,' if you will," DiFranco explained.
With the pandemic brewing and the supply chain interrupted, the realization of the nation's dependence on foreign manufacturing prompted solutions.
"All three came together and it was a natural fit. Everybody was in the area, there was a well-established facility, and all were located in close proximity to Washington, D.C.," he said
AFC had a facility located here — and they are a well-known industry leader in the U.S. There was also expertise in the local area, such as Dr. Frank Gupton, who had worked at this facility in the past and was now in a unique position at the VCU College of Engineering's Medicines for All Institute, where he is leading a research group geared towards the continuous processing side of the equation instead of traditional medicinal chemistry.

Then, there was Dr. Gupton's collaboration with Eric Edwards, CEO & Co-Founder of Phlow Corp.
"All three came together and it was a natural fit. Everybody was in the area, there was a well-established facility, and all were located in close proximity to Washington, D.C.," he said.
About VGR's Advanced Pharma Campaign:

Home/News/Sports/Efforts will be made to reduce the disparity in salary between male and female footballers: New AIFF chief Kalyan Chaubey
Efforts will be made to reduce the disparity in salary between male and female footballers: New AIFF chief Kalyan Chaubey
Days after winning the All India Football Federation (AIFF) presidential election, Kalyan Chaubey underlined on Thursday, September 8, that the new Executive Committee will aim to reduce the disparity between the salary structures of the male and female footballers.
For a long time, the penury remuneration in the Indian Women's League (IWL) has raised many concerns among players and fans alike.
In a press conference today, the new AIFF president revealed that the federation is pushing to fix a "minimum and respectable" salary cap in the IWL. Furthermore, in response to a Sportskeeda query, Chaubey averred:
"We are trying to ensure that a minimum and respectable salary cap is put in place for the IWL. Moreover, it is not right that the honorariums of footballers when they are playing for the nation should have huge differences at men's and women's levels. Hence, all efforts should be made to restore a balance."
When it comes to women's football, the structure of the top-tier league in the country and also the youth leagues have been an area of concern. The former East Bengal custodian discussed in brief some of the areas that the federation will be working on in the near future. He explained:
"We are shortly introducing an Under-17 women's league in India in association with the Sports Authority of India. Not only that, we will also be trying to ensure that the stature of the IWL grows in the near future."
Our aim is to take the game through the government schools: AIFF president Kalyan Chaubey
Throughout the press conference, Chaubey's emphasis was on making football a part of the educational curriculum.
He opined that if the federation can reach out to government institutions and create a football ecosystem right from the grassroots level, the country can improve in leaps and bounds.
Opening up about his goals in the near future, he stated:
"Our aim is to take the game through the schools. In India, there are 16 lakh Government schools with 25 crores students. Most of these schools have a football ground each. If we can tap that area, and attach our licensed coaches with the physical trainers at the school, then a lot can be done without wasting energy and resources."
Meanwhile, talking about the men's national team and the future of head coach Igor Stimac, who is out of contract after September 30, Chaubey emphasized that the the Technical Committee meeting of the AIFF will be summoned shortly to finalize these decisions.

Verses: The Lost Song Trilogy 5 out of 5 based on 0 ratings. 1 reviews.
A Fantasy Novel? That's what it says on the back cover of VERSES by Janie Franz, but as I read it, it felt REAL...how could that be? During my many, many years in college I took a lot of classes that had absolutely nothing to do with my dual majors...(I had a LOT of dual majors...just as I have a LOT of degrees.) Having a deep love for ancient history had me taking as many courses as I could that even remotely smacked of ancient cultures...such as Anthropology...and I ADORED my anthropology professor....oh the debates we used to have! One of the cultures we explored was the women known today as the Amazonian women... Reading VERSES reminded me a great deal of what is known of these women and what is BELIEVED to have been true of other all-women civilizations. The first chapter was a little confusing because of the multitude of names, but once I was able to wrap my head around names that weren't always distinguishable between male or female and pinpoint which name belonged to which character, the story took over...and what a rich story it turned out to be. There was a time when cultures were more matrilineal...when the mystery of the feminine reality held the community together in a cohesiveness we've forgotten and/or purposely excised from our societal norms of today. Janie Franz brings it back, center stage in a way that makes you almost wish you could pick up your own dust, brush it all off and trace the past that created the who you are today through the many layers of the ones who came before you. This is a noteworthy story of fiction that feels so true it's almost like my DNA recognizes it as part of my submerged history. Janie Franz speaks with the voice of acquired authority...words passed down from mother to daughter through the ages she's transcribed here for us as fiction...but is it? Is it fiction if you recognize the truth woven into the fabrication? I don't know. What I do know is this is a raw story that touched a part of me lying perhaps dormant...but not forgotten. I highly recommend this book for anyone who "remembers" history...or thinks they do, because this will bring it crashing back upon your psyche and if nothing more, remind you of the rich past the human spirit has forged to get to where we are today. Well done Janie! FIVE STARS are yours.


HATED IT! Uninteresting to my 3rd grader. Too complicated. Didn't end up using it. Total waste of money. PLUS they charged me multiple times for the same item which had to be corrected. NEVER AGAIN!
This product is good however it would be more user friendly if the directions and questions were on the pages ready for children to use.
We love lapbooking, and Currclick makes it possible. Hands of a Child is especially easy to follow. Thanks!
I am doing this project with 3 boys - ages 12, 10, and 7. They are loving it! There is enough information here to teach without being overwhelming. The 12 year old has done additional research on his own, as he has gotten interested in a certain section. The instructions are easy to follow, and the lapbooks look great!
I just downloaded the Thanksgiving Project Pack that you are making available from Hands of a Child. It is my very first e-book download and I just wanted to write and say I am excited about this lesson already and I'm certain the double blessing will be working through this with my 1st and 3rd grader. I love the flow of the package from vocabulary to maps and timelines as well as the personalization of the children documenting what they are thankful for. Thank you for making this available and thank you for the huge assist in helping me teach my children about Thanksgiving. I am certain our holiday will be more memorable as we use this as a springboard to why we celebrate Thanksgiving. Heartfelt thanks!!
We used this study last thanksgiving with our kids and they begged to do the study again this year! LOL You know it's good when they want to do the same thing again. We have used numerous Hands of a Child products and we will keep on using them as the children retain so much information and have fun doing it.


The Canterbury Award has become well-established over the years with the aim of helping members develop both as educators and as enthusiastic members of the Society. It was the idea of Dorothy Haley after a financially successful state conference held at the University of Kent in Canterbury in 1984.
Since then Members have undertaken diverse and interesting projects.
There are two avenues members might follow to be considered for the award. Either it will subsidise an educational project that you would like to pursue, OR the money could go towards expenses for first time travel to a Regional or International Conference. In 2019 the Regional Conference is to be held in Iceland. It should be most stimulating and lots of fun!
The Award committee would need to consider the aim and an outline of your project, and the programme you would anticipate following during the year. They would also hope that your work would be of benefit, not only to your own development, but also to those who would share the results of your scheme.
During years when the Award is not granted to support a project the Canterbury Award becomes available to members of Delta Kappa Gamma who would appreciate the opportunity to attend a state, regional or international convention for the first time. Meeting a wider selection of members from different regions and countries, one realises the scope of the Society, its full potential and its inspirational message to those in the field of education.
Once again, a report to the Committee would be expected.
Your application should be endorsed by a professional colleague or a member of Delta Kappa Gamma.
A decision will be made by the Awards Committee in adequate time for you to make arrangements and implement plans..
In both cases the application should be endorsed by a professional colleague or a member of DKG.
It takes a while for these to download. Look at bottom of screen to open.
A decision will be made by the Awards Committee in adequate time for you to make arrangements and implement plans.

Emirates first-half profit surges as fuel costs plunge
The largest Middle East carrier said fuel prices were 41 percent lower than a year before. (AP)
Reuters, Dubai Thursday 05 November 2015
Dubai's flagship airline Emirates posted a 65 percent surge in first-half net profit on Thursday after its decision not to hedge against changes in fuel costs paid off when oil prices plunged.
The world's fourth-largest carrier of international passengers posted a profit of 3.1 billion dirhams ($844 million) for the six months ending Sept. 30, it said in a statement, up from 1.9 billion dirhams a year earlier.
Emirates said fuel costs dropped to 28 percent of operating costs from 38 percent as fuel prices fell 41 percent year on year. Some savings were passed on to customers.
"We made a calculated decision not to hedge our fuel purchases, which paid off as fuel prices continued to soften," Emirates Chairman Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed al-Maktoum said.
Airlines use fuel hedging contracts to reduce exposure to potential rises in fuel costs. Without hedging, airlines are exposed to fuel cost fluctuations but can benefit almost immediately if prices fall.
The number of passengers carried by Emirates rose 10 percent to 25.7 million in the period, while capacity climbed 14 percent as the airline expanded its fleet with nine new planes.
Emirates, already the biggest user of the Airbus A380 superjumbo and the Boeing 777, has about 345 of the two aircraft types, and variants on order.
The lower fuel costs and increase in passengers offset pressures from foreign exchange moves as a stronger dollar hurt revenue, which fell 4 percent to 42.3 billion dirhams.
"The currency exchange situation, combined with ongoing regional conflict and weak economic outlook in many parts of the world, dampened the positive impact of lower fuel prices," Sheikh Ahmed said.
Emirates said profit for the wider group, which includes airline services arm Dnata, rose to 3.7 billion dirhams from 2.2 billion dirhams a year ago. ($1 = 3.6729 UAE dirham

Brexit or Bremain?
Facts we do know
The European Union (EU) is an economic and political partnership involving 28 European countries. it began after World War Two to foster economic co-operation, with the idea that countries which trade together are more likely to avoid going to war with each other. it has since grown to become a "single market" allowing goods and people to move around, essentially as if the member states were one country. it has its own currency, the euro, which is used by 19 of the member countries, its own parliament and it now sets rules in a wide range of areas – including on the environment, transport, consumer rights and even issues like mobile phone charges.
The crucial question that has been proposed by The Electoral Commission and has been accepted by MPs reads, "should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?" The options for voters will simply be 'Remain a member of the European Union' or 'Leave the European Union'.
Who can vote?
British, Irish and Commonwealth citizens over 18 who are resident in the UK are eligible to vote, along with UK nationals living abroad, who have been on the electoral register in the UK in the past 15 years. Members of the House of Lords and commonwealth citizens in Gibraltar will also be eligible, unlike in a General election. citizens from EU countries – apart from Ireland, Malta and Cyprus – will not get a vote.
The last vote
Britain had a referendum in 1975 shortly after it had joined the EU, or the Common Market as it was then called. The country voted to stay in at that time, but there have been growing calls, from the public and politicians, for another vote because, they argue, the EU has changed over the past 40 years, with many new member countries and the organisation extending its control over more aspects of daily lives.
Who wants what?
There are now two official groups leading the campaigns and various high profile leaders involved on both sides. Britain Stronger in Europe is the main cross-party group campaigning for Britain to remain in the EU. It is headed by former Marks and Spencer chairman Lord Rose and backed by key figures from the Conservative Party, including Prime Minister, David Cameron and Chancellor, George Osborne, most Labour MPs, including party leader Jeremy Corbyn and Alan Johnson, who is running the Labour In for Britain campaign, the Lib Dems, Plaid Cymru, the Alliance party and the SDLP in Northern Ireland, and the Green Party.
Vote Leave campaign is also a cross-party campaign and has the backing of senior Conservatives such as Michael Gove and Boris Johnson plus a handful of Labour MPs, including Gisela Stuart and Graham Stringer as well as UKIP's Douglas Carswell and Suzanne Evans and the DUP in Northern Ireland. It has a string of affiliated groups such as Farmers for Britain, Muslims for Britain and Out and Proud; aimed at building support in different communities.
Mature Times asked questions of each campaign group as to how, in their opinion, the result will affect older people. We give a brief summary of the answers from Lord Wallace from the remain campaign and Ian Duncan Smith from the leave.
Why should older people vote?
Stay – The result will affect everyone in the UK especially our children and grandchildren.
Leave – We need to take back control of our laws and borders.Is it a good thing?
Stay – EU laws prevent discrimination, funds social projects in education and training. Gives us cheaper flights and healthcare in member countries.
Leave – Membership money paid to the EU could be invested in hospitals and schools. Border controls could ensure that the brightest and best are welcomed in.
Main risks
Leave – Damage to British business and sterling values. Pension pots at risks as well as pensions paid to the 400,000 pensioners who live in Europe. 3 to 4 million jobs are linked to EU trade.
Stay – The expense of membership and loss of political control. The threat of millions of immigrants from new countries such as Turkey and Macedonia if they are allowed to join.
Answers provided by each spokesperson are not the views of MT's editorial team.
Is the result legally binding?
The referendum result is not legally binding. Parliament would still have to pass a law to take Britain out of the 28 nation bloc should a 'leave' vote be returned, starting with the repeal of the 1972 European Communities Act.
Technically MPs could block an EU exit – but it would be seen as political suicide to go against the will of the people as expressed in a referendum.
The withdrawal agreement would also have to be ratified by Parliament – the House of Lords and/or the Commons could vote against ratification.
Our postbag has been mixed and there are many who think that it is not up to us, the electorate to make such a monumental decision, but to leave it to our democratically elected Parliament.
The big question for me is how, where and from whom do I get the facts to be able to make an informed decision?
Let us know if you have made up your mind already and why.

EU referendrum: a third betrayal?


I did it! I finally drew the Guardians of the Galaxy in the Teen Titans GO! style. And with that, I am done with the Marvel GO! piece. So if you want to see all the characters together, check this out!
First, let's start with the Guardians themselves, since that was technically today's drawing. Here is a .png with all 5 of the core characters.
And now, after weeks of work and effort, here it is. The final piece. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the Teen Titans GO! style.
What are your thoughts? I'd love to hear them so let me know.


Several days ago I've written about getting a police clearance in Canada.
This post will complement the previous blog post and will benefit the most those who are living in Calgary, Alberta.
One of the three ways to get a police clearance in Canada is through the RCMP – accredited fingerprinting agency.
In Calgary, five accredited fingerprinting companies are in business to serve the likes of temporary foreign worker, permanent resident, and student.
If you own a similar business or discover an accredited fingerprinting company that is not on the list, take the time to comment and I'll immediately update the post.
I am in no way affiliated to any of the following companies. With that in mind, part of the list is the agency where I applied for police certificate and NBI Clearance.
Let's find out which one is the right agency for you.
1. The Fingerprint Room Inc.
L-1 Identity Solutions (formerly International Fingerprinting Services) is one of the Safran offices.
It is located in the Rocky Mountain Plaza, across the Calgary Central Library in downtown.
This is where I had a digital fingerprinting for the police clearance certificate (Canada) and ink and roll fingerprinting of the NBI Form No.5 as one of the requirements for the application of permanent resident (Live-in Caregiver Program).
Tip: In this same building, a few rooms from L-1 Identity Solutions is where I applied for US non-immigrant visa before I became a permanent resident.
Sometimes I'm surprise by how easy to get around downtown Calgary. Everything I needed was located in one place close to my favourite landmarks.
3. ClearNeed Information Systems Inc.
This is where the list ends but not the tips.
I decided to add the requirements that an applicant has to bring with to avail the services of an accredited fingerprinting agency in Canada.
I find it convenient to use my Philippine passport and Class 7 learner's license whenever I have to show any proof of identification.
A little sidetrack: I encourage you to have a Class 7 Learner's License once you settle in Canada even if you don't plan to drive soon or have no plan at all.
A driver's license is always handy in accomplishing immigration-related documents.
The City of Calgary is growing and in the future, I am looking forward to update this post for all of the residents of Calgary, saving them time to complete the list of requirements.
Which of the fingerprinting companies you're planning to visit or already have gone to? Share your experience.
Thanks for the info! The RCMP website no longer maintains a list of accredited agencies. One to ad would be the Comissionaires, they are Canada wide and located in the NE, more convenient for Calgarians on the north side of the river!
Thanks for the suggestion. I already updated the post and the RCMP link. .
Thank you so much for this post! I used it to find San fran Morpho. With out this guide I probably wouldn't have gotten my fingerprints taken care of so quickly.
Your welcome Nikolas! Glad you save time and effort.


Millenia ago as the Ice Ages ended, the Mesolithic hunter-gatherers crossed what is now the North Sea and settled in the lands of the north east. Later migrations brought the Neolithic farmers who altered the landscape for the first time. Little is known of our earliest ancestors but the number and scale of their stone monuments across the countryside speak of a social cohesion and a spirituality that drove them to create these structures despite the time it must have taken from the daily struggle for survival. The silent stone circles, the solitary standing stones, burial sites and the strange engimatic relics such as the carved stone balls bear witness not only to their perseverance and skill but to a world view that encompassed more than mere existence. They are people separated from us only by time.
Intricately carved stone balls from Neolithic times.


We had an amazing time with Emeka and Linda on their Winter engagement session! They are a fabulous looking couple and total sweethearts as well. Thank you, Emeka and Linda, for the great session and for choosing Studio Bash!

Prohibition Orders for Sex Offenders
Home/O'Connell Law Blog/Prohibition Orders for Sex Offenders
A Prohibition Order, as outlined in section 161 of the Criminal Code, is an order placed on individuals convicted of certain designated sexual offences involving persons under the age of 16. Designated sexual offences include (among others) child pornography offences, invitation to sexual touching, sexual interference, incest, making sexually explicit material available to a child, sexual assault with a weapon, threats to a third party or causing bodily harm, and sexual assault.
What does a Prohibition Order Prohibit?
When an offender is convicted of a designated sexual offence, the sentencing court may order the offender to refrain from:
Attending public parks or swimming areas where persons under the age of 16 are present or can reasonably be expected to be present, daycare centres, schoolgrounds, playgrounds or community centres;
Being within two kilometers, or any other distance specified in the order, of any dwelling-house where the victim identified in the order ordinarily resides or of any other place specified in the order;
Seeking, obtaining or continuing any employment whether or not the employment is renumerated, or becoming or being a volunteer in a capacity, that involves being in a position or trust or authority towards a person under the age of 16 years;
Having any contact – including communicating by any means – with a person who is under the age of 16, unless the offender does so under the supervision of a person whom the court considers appropriate; or
Using the Internet or other digital network unless the offender does so in accordance with conditions set out by the court.
What Happens if I Breach the Order?
An individual who breaches a section 161 order may be charged under section 161(4) of the Code with a criminal offence. An accused who is convicted of breaching a section 161 order will face a maximum of four years in prison if the Crown proceeds by indictment and a maximum of two years less a day in prison and/or up to a $5,000 fine if the Crown proceeds summarily.
How Long does the Order Remain in Effect?
A section 161 Prohibition Order will remain in effect for as long as the sentencing court deems desirable, including for life. Where the order's duration is not for life, the order will begin on the day the order is made. Where the accused is sentenced to a period of incarceration, the order will begin on the date the offender is released from custody, including release from parole, mandatory supervision, or statutory release.
Can the Order be Varied?
After an order is made, or where no order is made, the offender and the prosecutor both have the right to apply to have another court of equivalent jurisdiction review the decision. Once an application is made both the offender and prosecutor may come before the court to present submissions on why the order should or should not be varied.
After hearing from both parties, the court may choose to vary the order if it is satisfied that the variation is desirable because of some change in circumstance that did not exist when the order was originally imposed.

5 Is a stereo ribbon useful?
6 Is it worth it to buy an expensive Ribbon Mic?
7 What is the difference between different Ribbon Mics?
Which ribbon should I buy?
You want to buy a ribbon mic, but do not know which one? After all, the selection is huge. For 69 euros you get a t.bone RB 100 ( product on thomann.de ), for some AEA and Royer ribbons you have to make more than 5000 euros loose. But which is the right one? Here are some helpful tips to buy.
How does a Ribbon Mic work?
A Ribbon Mic transforms the vibration of sound with a thin, elongated aluminum ribbon (= ribbon) in a magnetic field. The movement in the magnetic field induces a voltage that can be tapped as an audio signal. Almost all other microphones, however, have round membranes on which either a coil is glued (immersion coil principle) or which forms a capacitor with a counter electrode (condenser microphones).
Are ribbon mics really that sensitive? Where are the advantages and disadvantages of ribbons?
There are several myths about Ribbon-Mikes , which we have put together in the linked article. To anticipate: It's not that bad – and it's worth it tonally!
The Beyerdynamic M130 is a true all-purpose weapon. It is absolutely tiny, but has a decent output due to the double-band technology. It has been built by hand in Heilbronn for decades.
The t.bone RM-700 is very cheap – but does not sound like it. It is a classic passive ribbon.
With the Coles 4038 is one of the most characterful, but also quirkiest microphones in the list. Also loved for decades for its special sound and high quality. We have a how-to to work with him and other ribbon microphones.
Stereo ribbons do not have to be expensive. On the drumkit, the acoustic guitar, but also in front of choirs, orchestras or simply as mono-ribbon for the voice, the giant breaker Golden Age Project R1 ST does an excellent job.
Buy Active or Passive Ribbon Mic? Where's the difference?
The aluminum ribbon in the magnetic field gives only very little tension. Although this is transformed into a transformer, it is still very low. Now there are two possibilities: Either, the microphone preamp manages to easily amplify the weak signals enormously – which many priced preamps fail! – or a small active amplification electronics is built into the Ribbon Mic (= "active Ribbon"). But you can also "activate" passive ribbons, for example with the Triton FetHead . Active ribbons are often more practical, but they reduce the ability to influence the sound. Passive ribbons sound different on different microphone preamps and often respond more strongly to switchable input impedances.
Is a stereo ribbon useful?
There are stereo ribbons, which are basically two ribbon mics on top of each other. That's handy, because with these microphones – the Golden Age Project R1 ST is one of them – you can make stereo recordings in one place. These "One Point Stereo" recordings are then either in MS-Technique or as XY-Art "Blumlein Stereo".
A stereo microphone is sometimes huge and looks oversized as a vocal microphone. And of course you can not use the two ribbon units for different sources or Spaced Stereo systems.
Alternatively, two ribbons can always be combined to form a stereo system. There are accessories for this. With two microphone tripods it is a bit hakelig and cumbersome when looking for positions.
A Coles 4038 in a stereo mount. It is easier to set up a stereo microphone directly.
Is it worth it to buy an expensive Ribbon Mic?
How good is the rest of my recording chain? A multi-thousand-euro passive ribbon on a cheap audio interface is really wrong.
Can I really take advantage of the tonal benefits of the "last few percent"? In addition to the signal chain, space, skills of the musicians, the quality of the instruments and, last but not least, their own technical sound skills must be sufficient.
How important is it that the ribbon sounds as exactly as possible, so does a second that I want to buy as a replacement or for stereo recordings (keyword: series production)?
How important are things like company name, perfect workmanship, exclusivity and resale value?
What is the difference between different Ribbon Mics?
First, there is the question of the area of application: There are ribbons, which are used primarily for instruments and less for vocals, such as the Coles 4038. Others, such as the KU4 AEA, are classic vocal microphones. However, in principle all can be used for everything. The two mentioned are very rich in sound, whereas, for example, a Rode NTR or a Beyerdynamic M130 are rather restrained.
For example, there are differences in how the ribbon deals with high sound pressures. The 4038, for example, becomes more gently and controllably fuller and begins to develop an (initially pleasant) strain. Others "break up", and quite suddenly. And also, at which sound pressure that happens, is quite different, as well as the handling of quiet signals.
Not all ribbons are per se "warm" and "dark": The Royer Royer R10 seems downright bubbly (for a microphone of this type …).
The frequency response is also not the same for all ribbons: in the heights, especially passive ribbons are rather weak (But here too there are exceptions, the sE Electronics sE X1Rfor example.). However, you can usually edit this very well with the EQ, also the distortion in the heights in this type of microphone is very low (!). Active ribbons, on the other hand, are often equipped with electronics that give the heels a bit of support. In the vicinity of ribbons, a characteristic of most microphones is particularly pronounced: the proximity effect. The closer you get the bassier the signal gets. Some microphones stay fairly factual and concrete here (Rode NTR, for example), others become large and voluminous, others are quickly droning with too little distance.
A "real" Eight, which is not assembled from two kidney capsules (as is common in the double-membrane condenser), is particularly frequency-stable. In some types, however, not only the level changes, but also the height reproduction, the farther the signal comes from the side. This is mostly irrelevant. There are a few ribbons, which get a stronger directivity (hypercardioid) with a back cushioning. At the moment these are only AEA KU4 and KU5 as well as the Beyerdynamic M160.
Closely related to the M130: Hyperbole Ribbon Beyerdynamic M160.
Do not forget: Ribbons are from tiny and feather-light (M130) to almost monstrous (GAP R1 ST Sund many AEA). Accordingly, the necessary framework is not insignificant – especially considering that ribbons tend to be quite sensitive to impact sound. On historical studio photos you can not see the RCA chunks hanging from the huge Starbird tripods (which are now being rebuilt by Triad Orbit).
What do I expect from a ribbon?
Is my chain, my audio signals and my own abilities so good that really expensive ribbons are justified?
Do I need a stereo ribbon?
Is an active ribbon perhaps the most suitable microphone?

Reports Nine CEO Wants Karl Stefanovic Back On The Today Show
6th November, 2019
Following numerous rumours of a return all year, it now looks like Karl Stefanovic could actually be waking up with Today once again, one year after he was sensationally dumped from the breakfast TV program.
According to The Australian, Nine's Chief Executive Hugh Marks reportedly wants to bring Stefanovic back on to host the show in a bid to save it from poor ratings.
On December 19 last year it was announced that Stefanovic would not be returning to the Today Show after more than 14-years as co-host.
He was instead replaced by Deborah Knight and Georgie Gardner.
But now it seems that 2020 could bring a new Today Show team once again, with reports that Karl would appear alongside 60 Minutes reporter Allison Langdon.
Although it's believed that Stefanovic would have to take a bit of a pay cut if he were to make the return.
If he declines the offer to return, The Australian reports that the job will likely be offered to Ben Fordham or David Campbell.
This comes a day after a report surfaced claiming that Today Extra's Sonia Kruger could be leaving for a million dollar contract with Seven.

Europa League – Quarter Final
Napoli vs Arsenal
8:00pm Thursday 18th April
Lucas Torreira is expected to be available for Arsenal when they travel to Napoli for the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final on Thursday (kick-off 8pm).
The midfielder played a part in the second goal as Arsenal won the first leg 2-0 at the Emirates after an impressive first-half display.
However, he was taken off at half-time of the 1-0 victory at Watford on Monday Night Football due to a groin injury.

DIG DEEP: BRASELTON'S DOWNTOWN HAS EXPERIENCED A REVITALIZATION
First settled in 1876 and incorporated as a town on August 21, 1916, Braselton is rich in history and culture. It is named for its founder, William Harrison Braselton, whose son, William Henry Braselton, was the town's first mayor.
Braselton's historic center is located near the intersection of Georgia 53 and 124 about one mile south of Interstate 85, forty-five minutes north of Atlanta. It is home to several corporate facilities including Haverty's Regional Distribution Center, Mizuno, Carters, Whole Foods, FedEx and Panoz Automotive Development Company. In addition, the famous Chateau Élan Winery and Resort, with its magnificent chateau-style main building and excellent golf and residential areas is located within the city limits about one mile from the historic center.
This small community is growing at a tremendous rate. Because of this growth, Braselton has commissioned the development of a downtown master plan to guide its future and protect the historic features that have defined its character and has also refined and implemented that plan to this date.
Braselton Town Projects
The Block that generated the entire downtown revitalization
Downtown District listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001
In 2003 a group of Braselton citizens, business and land owners came together to formulate a plan to revitalize the downtown, which had been suffering from empty neglected buildings and no development even as the remainder of the town thrived. The first project to be identified was the relocation of State Highway 124 in order to eliminate offset interchange and create space for the future Town Green. This was funded through a combination of GDOT State Aid and URA Redevelopment bonds and partially through a Jackson County TAD.
During acquisition of property for the new road, the owner of the Braselton Brothers Store donated the building to the town as he didn't feel it could be renovated effectively. The town wanted to save one of its most iconic buildings and also add leasable space to create a more palatable view of the building from Davis Street. Funded with a $500,000 CDBG EIP grant and town funds, the building is now owned by the Braselton Urban Redevelopment Agency. Before: Braselton Brothers Store housed 3 tenants. Today: Braselton Brothers Store houses 8 tenants and the Mainstreet/DDA office.
Braselton Town Green
One of the priorities that came out of the Downtown Revitalization Plan was a gathering place in downtown to host festivals and movies and events. Funded through the Braselton URA Redevelopment Bonds funded partially through a Jackson County TAD and a GDOT Transportation Enhancement grant, this new park opened in time for Braselton's Centennial celebration in 2016.
braselton downtown parking deck
As the downtown began to thrive and new businesses moved in, lack of parking became an issue. Not just during events, but daily. To provide free parking in downtown for businesses, court, festivals, movies and events a parking deck was constructed and opened in October 2018. Funded through the Braselton URA Redevelopment Bonds funded partially through the Town's portion of Jackson County SPLOST.
What's coming next?
Braselton plans to fund a Civic Center in 2019 that will go into construction in 2020. As with all of Braselton's projects, it will follow the downtown architectural standards, this time mimicking the original Cotton Gin that is under redevelopment as a brew pub in downtown.

Q: How do I keep resource API versions up to date on existing ARM template? I have an existing Azure template that provisions the following resources
Microsoft.ClassicStorage/StorageAccounts (api version 2014-06-01)
microsoft.insights/components (api version 2014-08-01)

and some others ...
Using the code in the article Resource providers and types I found out that the resource API versions on my template are few versions behind:
Microsoft.ClassicStorage/StorageAccounts. Current: 2014-06-01, available:

2016-11-01
2016-04-01
2015-12-01
2015-06-01
2014-06-01
2014-04-01-beta
2014-04-01
2014-01-01

microsoft.insights/components. Current: 2014-08-01, available:

2015-05-01
2014-12-01-preview
2014-08-01
2014-04-01

Here are the questions that I have

*

*What is the best practice to maintain resource API versions in a template?

*Where do I learn about the changes introduced in each API version?

*What will Azure do if I change an API version on a resource that is already provisioned using the older API version?

A: Based on the other responses I have drafted the following best practice document for my team for Resource Manager API Versions.
Azure Resource Manager API Version Guidelines

*

*Use latest API version possible for new resources added to a template. Use article Resource providers and types as a guide on how to get the latest API version for a resource type.

*Do not change API version of a provisioned resource for the purpose of keeping up to date with the API version. General principle - if it works, don't fix it.

*Change API version of a provisioned resource only if advised so by Microsoft Azure or if newer API version will enable new feature to be utilized.

*Do not use template variable for the API version. API versions must be defined as text in a template.

A: *

*There are none, because it makes no sense (read further)

*I'm not aware of such a place, most likely it doesn't exist at all

*Nothing, unless something changed in the resource definition.

Generally, you should not care about the API version as long as you are using an API version that can handle your request (API versions can have different functionality) in a proper fashion.
the PM of the ARM Templates said: API Version's don't matter and don't have to be consistent with each other (so you can use different API Versions for all resources in the same template, and equal API versions doesn't mean that resources will work better with together or something like that). (not exact quote, but you get the idea)
Even if you look at the rest api reference at best it will point out which api version its describing (at best). sometimes it won't do even that... so its a black box, don't bother with that.
The only time api version matters - things you want to do are not available with your api version and you need to use a proper one (not necessary latest, sometimes older versions got what you need, like managed disks were\are 2016-04-30-preview or something like that)

A: Actually there is a way to always use the latest API Version. I do not recommend it but you can use:
[providers('<provider>','<type>').apiVersions[0]]

Here is a working example with a storage account:
{
    "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
    "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
    "resources": [
        {
            "type": "Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts",
            "name": "uniquename",
            "apiVersion": "[providers('Microsoft.Storage','storageAccounts').apiVersions[0]]",
            "location": "West Europe",
            "sku": {
                "name": "Standard_LRS"
            },
            "kind": "Storage",
            "properties": {}
        }
    ]
}

I would prefer to use the most latest version when writing the ARM template and check for newer version when I encounter errors or I have to use some new features. I wrote two articles about how to determine latest API version for a resource provider and how to find outdated Azure ARM templates.

A: *

*"What is the best practice to maintain resource API versions in a template?"

You shouldn't need to update the api-version field for a resource unless you are utilizing a new feature that is not covered by the previous api-version.
Mainly, if it works, don't fix it.
The purpose of the embedded api-version fields in an ARM template is to ensure that template continues to function as desired at any point in time.
I have seen some templates with a Variable for the api-version. I'm not a fan of that approach. It makes it too easy to change an api-version where updating that version may invalidate the schema and cause any number of errors.

*"Where do I learn about the changes introduced in each API version?"

It is in a very raw form but you can see the Swagger specs for the resource providers in this GitHub repo.
GitHub: azure/azure-rest-api-specs
and
GitHub: azure/azure-resource-manager-schemas
Azure SDKs, ARM templates, and even some portal UI takes this repo as a Swagger source for auto-generation.
For the latest ARM version feature you can use this docs sub-site which is also generated from the spec.
ARM Template Resource Definitions

*What will Azure do if I change an API version on a resource that is already provisioned using the older API version?

If you change the api-version and execute a change, the Azure resource manager API may respond with object schema errors if you have not updated the resource configuration to the new version.
You can run a Validate call to get those errors without making any changes.
Again, unless you are using a new feature or configuration in a new api version, there really is no reason to update the api-version of a template resource.

Having had enough not so good conditions (bipolar, ADD, panic attacks), it feels so good to have this one! Since ASMR seems to be triggered by so many things, I'm with the people who get tingly responses from certain types of touch (massage, scalp massage) and certain sounds (put me on on a boat or train and I'm in happyland). Strangely, whispering, tapping, folding laundry have no effect at all or are even annoying. Have also bought a few hypnosis CDs and they actually irritate the crap out of me and I hate guided meditation! But soft speaking voices are my main non-physical trigger. If I listen to certain presenters on Radio National Australia, This American Life etc, I can't drive because it's too hypnotic. Very blissful though :). For those who have the condition, you'll find your trigger even if it's not in the top 5.
Hi! I am not sure if I experience ASMR or not. The only thing that I know is when someone whispers, speaks (low/high notes) close/near my back I get chills/tingles/tickling sensation. But when the sound doesn't travel straight to my back, I dont get chills. I have been searching for answers and ASMR is the only thing close to it. I hope that you guys can help me. Thanks.
The study is still ongoing, and results have not yet been published. But for his part, Richard has been developing a theory of what ASMR is and why it exists. His theory isn't exactly scientific, but it is beautiful: He notes that the quality that underlies almost all ASMR videos is what's been called a "tranquil, womb-like intimacy." That is, ASMRtists speak softly into the ears of headphone-wearing viewers, gently coaxing them to sleep by way of assiduous personal attention, comforting words, smiles and simulated stroking. At its most essential level, Richard believes, all the intimacy channeled through towel foldings and whispered affection is about triggering the felt experience of being loved.
"ASMR is not as odd as it sounds," said Burnie Burns, co-founder and chief creative officer of production company Rooster Teeth. "In the 90s we had CDs and audio tapes of rain forest sounds that many people used for relaxation purposes -- there just wasn't a fancy term to classify that media. Since online video has become a phenomenon, now we have a whole new generation of those kinds of ephemeral experiences created by people all over the world."

Everton: Pundit got it horribly wrong on Morgan Schneiderlin
Everton have endured a miserable record over the years with regards to recruitment – particularly during the Farhad Moshiri regime – after splashing the cash on a number of high-profile additions who simply failed to work out.
A notable example of the Merseyside outfit's market failings is that of Morgan Schneiderlin, with the Frenchman having endured a torrid time of it at Goodison Park after signing from Manchester United back in January 2017.
The defensive midfielder had previously impressed at former club Southampton under then-Toffees boss Ronald Koeman, with the Dutchman having seemingly been keen on a reunion after sanctioning the £24m switch.
While a strong performer for the Saints, there may well have been doubts about the 6 foot 1 man's quality following what was a miserable spell at Old Trafford, with United legend Rio Ferdinand at one stage writing that the 15-cap dud offered 'zero threat' in the centre of the park.
Now wanted by Liverpool: Everton will surely regret not signing £50m "serious talent" - opinion
Signed for £9m, left for £0: Moshiri had an Everton howler on dud who cost £569k-a-game- opinion
Sold by Koeman, now outperforming Mbappe: Everton will regret losing "outstanding" ace - opinion
Everton could finally ditch "slow" £21m dud thanks to "exciting" Pogba-esque talent - opinion
Despite that damning assessment, the Goodison outfit went ahead with the move regardless in the hope of helping the player to recapture his previous form, with the club seemingly not the only ones to have had faith in the one-time Strasbourg man.
Pundit Ray Parlour notably suggested at the time that Schneiderlin could well be a "perfect" addition and a "very good signing" for Koeman and co, despite acknowledging his struggles at the Theatre of Dreams.
The former Arsenal cult hero was not alone in his belief that it would represent a good move for all concerned, with BBC Sport pundit Andy Townsend also writing that it would 'not be a gamble' to prise the player from United.
As it proved, however, both Townsend and Parlour, in particular, were made to look rather silly as the former France international went on to distinctly underwhelm in an Everton shirt, notably scoring once and laying on just three assists in his 88 appearances.
In fact, the £3.15m-rated man almost recorded as many red cards as he did goal involvements during his time at the club, having been dismissed on three occasions across all competitions.
One dismissal, in particular, saw the defensive midfielder come under fire, as he was awarded two yellow cards late on in a 3-0 defeat to Lyon in the Europa League back in November 2017, with pundit Jermaine Jenas going as far as to label him "disgraceful and unprofessional" as a result.
Arguably the nadir of his time with the Toffees, however, came just a few months later during a clash with Crystal Palace in February 2018, having seemingly been booed by his own supporters while entering the fray as a second-half substitute.
Firstly, where did Everton finish in the Premier League?
The now 32-year-old failed to truly recover from there and was eventually sold on to Ligue 1 side Nice in the summer of 2020, with one report suggesting the fee was potentially as little as £2.6m, representing a real dismal piece of business for the club.
It wasn't only the Merseysiders left red-faced by that flawed signing, however, with Parlour's earlier bold claim coming back to bite him.
