Great article by Bill Marsilii from the always amazingly amazing, Wordplayer.com.
I'll admit it, I'm a plot junkie.
I know that many of my fellows will scoff, but I'm sorry, plot is important. As a child, I don't remember ever tugging on my parent's sleeve and saying "Mommy, tell me a character study," and the years haven't changed me much in that regard. I don't think movie audiences have changed much either.
The heartbeat of a movie usually comes from the course of events that unfold within. I don't just mean the two famed "plot points" we've all heard so much about from Syd Field, because in fact I think "something should happen" on pretty much every page of the script. This happens, which causes that to happen, which means the other thing can't happen unless somebody does something. It can be the Death Star destroying Alderaan or it can be the first time Katharine Hepburn calls Humphrey Bogart "dear," but something has to happen that changes things. Those moments of change make up the plot, and the best plot moments come as a complete surprise to us.
This article is very specifically about ways to create such moments. I don't claim to be a master at it, but I do have an opinion or two.
A Nazi soldier and a young Jewish girl are rolling along the wall, struggling over a loaded Luger when suddenly -- BANG! They both freeze.
Door Number One is the obvious choice: the Nazi's eyes bulge for a moment and he falls dead to the floor. That's the choice we've all seen a million times, the one that gives us the outcome we want. By making the obvious choice, you're giving us what we want, but you don't surprise us in the least. We expected that to happen.
Door Number Two is the dreaded choice: the girl's eyes bulge and she falls dead to the floor.
Were we surprised? Yes, we were surprised -- we did not expect that to happen. But we didn't expect that to happen because we didn't want that to happen, and therein lies the danger of choosing Door Number Two. You want to surprise people, but not at the price of making them angry at you.
By way of example, I remember that I was interested in seeing CLIFFHANGER until my friends warned me away from it. "Why?" I asked them. "Do the stunts look fake, is there not enough action, is Stallone bad in it?"
And every one of them said the same thing: they hated the fact that it's a movie about innocent people getting killed over and over again. Whenever the plot gets slow, a pair of innocent bystanders or a nice old man wander into the story so that -- surprise! -- they can get machine-gunned to death in slow motion.
The opening sequence ticked everybody off -- a female climber hangs onto Stallone begging for her life, screaming "I don't want to die!" while Stallone promises her, "You're not -- gonna -- die!"
Well she dies, screaming all the way down.
The best of us have tried this, only to meet with a similar fate. In his book "Adventures in the Screen Trade," William Goldman describes the audience's reaction to Susan Sarandon's death in THE GREAT WALDO PEPPER: "After the buzzing ended, there was silence in the theater. But not the silence of a group held in suspense. No. They were furious. They felt tricked, they felt betrayed, and they hated us."
This is Door Number Two, the dreaded choice. It will surprise the audience, but not because they never would have expected it -- it will surprise them because they never would have expected that you were that cruel. And once they've come to that opinion, unless they're watching a horror movie, they're not likely to forgive you.
Lest you think me a wimp about screen violence, I should point out that it's not always blood and death behind Door Number Two. Door Number Two leads anywhere an audience doesn't want you to take them. At the end of PRETTY IN PINK, Molly Ringwald has to choose either Jon Cryer, the nerdy best friend who has loved her all his life, or Andrew McCarthy, the rich snob who dumped her just before the prom because his friends said she wasn't cool. Cryer was Door Number One, McCarthy was Door Number Two.
Well guess what: she dumps Cryer at the prom and leaves with McCarthy. Unexpected? Absolutely. Surprising? No question. And the audience I saw it with booed their final kiss right off the screen.
My advice: Stay away from Door Number Two.
Let's go back to that Nazi and our young heroine wrestling over the Luger. BANG! They suddenly freeze.
Door Number One is the obvious choice: dead Nazi.
Door Number Two is the dreaded choice: dead girl.
Door Number Three -- the choice that truly surprises us without disappointing or enraging us.
BANG! They suddenly freeze. The girl's eyes bulge. The Nazi smiles and begins to laugh.
Then -- surprise -- the Nazi falls down dead!
Actually, that surprise should say "Copyright 1946" because it's been about that long since it worked. But it did work once, and that's why people keep using it. That's why all clichés survive: they worked once.
We're afraid the girl will get shot, but we expect that she won't, so that last example combines them -- she and the Nazi react as if she did get shot (Door #2), scaring us for a moment, until the Nazi falls down dead (Door #1), relieving our fear. It's the surprise combination of the two that makes this Door #3.
This is generally a better way to go, but as we've said the example above is not going to surprise anyone. The gunshot clinch has ended this way a thousand times already.
So how will we surprise anyone with this gunshot moment?
When a situation is so bad that an audience can't see a way out of it, the last thing they expect you to do is make the situation even worse.
I think James Cameron is a great master at this. ALIENS had an incredible sequence in which Ripley and the little girl Newt wake up to discover that an alien face-hugger is loose in the room with them.
This is bad. First thing Ripley does is reach for her gun.
She and Newt try the doors -- they're locked in. It can't get any worse.
-- so of course that's when a second facehugger climbs into view about two feet behind the little girl's head and goes after her.
Now, if the girl dies, it's Door Number Two... but she doesn't have to die anymore to surprise us.
We've combined Doors One and Two (they both got shot), and now we've made it even worse (she's dying and the guy's trying to strangle her before she can call for help). Whatever happens next -- she hits him with the phone, he faints first, whatever -- it's okay. She's already earned a happy ending. We've been surprised, now we want to be satisfied. For God's sake, save her!
If you really want to surprise an audience, though, try having your character do what a real person would do. Not what a real person would do "in a movie", but what a real person would do in real life. Say you, for example.
"But we're not talking about a real person," you might say. "We're talking about a Nazi." And the moment you say that, you rob your story and your audience of something that could be astonishing.
But only if he survives the gunshot wound. He collapses, looks up at her, tells her to leave through the back way, if anyone sees that he's wounded she'll be blamed. Gasping, he promises to wait a few minutes before calling for help, then waves her off... go, go.
What will she do now? Is she just going to leave him there? Whether she's bleeding under a dying Nazi or wondering whether to save one, she's got a brand new problem.
Good! That's what makes it a plot. This happens, which causes that to happen, which means the other thing can't happen unless somebody does something.
If the Nazi pulls through on his own, it's Door Number One.
If the girl lets him die or gets killed herself, it's Door Number Two.
If she tries to save his life, though, if she manages to get him out the door and past the guards and past the neighbors to her own house, where her father the doctor-who-hates-Nazis has been hiding, it's going to take superhuman strength and will on her part and a great deal of ingenuity on your part.
But that's what's always behind Door Number Three: ingenuity.
Guess which one the audience wants to see?

In this report from CBN, Erick Stakelbeck talks about the new Cologne mosque, which will be the largest mosque in Europe when completed.
Many thanks to Vlad Tepes for uploading this video:
Below are excerpts from accompanying article from CBN:
Turkish Mega Mosque in Germany Sparks Controversy
COLOGNE, Germany -- There was a time when the Turkish-led Ottoman Empire ruled over a large chunk of Europe. Now some believe the Turks want to bring back those old glory days.
The Turkish government has embarked on a mosque-building campaign throughout Germany.
One new Turkish mega-mosque, the Cologne Central Mosque, has Germans on edge.
When construction on the facility is completed, it will be Germany's largest Muslim house of worship - and one of the largest mosques in all of Europe.
It's so big that it stops passersby in their tracks. The structure's 100-foot-high-plus minarets tower over the local landscape and can be seen from blocks away.
The $40 million-plus facility will hold at least 1,200 worshippers and include a restaurant, a prayer room, a library, and more.
Germany is home to some 4.3 million Muslims, including 125,000 who live in Cologne. The large majority are Turkish.
Although Cologne already has some 30 mosques, one German Muslim activist told CBN News the new facility is needed.
"You had for years, for decades, you had very, very ugly places in the poorest parts of Cologne, underground," Muslim activist Ibrahim el-Zayat said.
"And so now, to have something which is visible, which is quite in the midst of the society, is something which is indeed a great need for the city itself, for the Muslims, and for the society," he continued.
El-Zayat helps support mosque projects throughout Europe. His critics have said he's a radical Islamist with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
He denied the charge, saying he's only trying to help Muslims take their rightful place in German society.
"If you compare it by percentage to the total population of Muslims and compare it, for example, to churches for the total population of Christians, then you should have in Germany not 3,000 prayer places but 15,000," he said...

Why do we allow these monstrosities to be built? Koln is a lovely city, with a huge cathedral which somehow remained intact during WW11.

Cryptocurrency creditors have been able to find profits from selling to two types of borrowers: die-hard crypto believers— who expect the market to rebound strongly and institutional investors—who need to get digital assets for short selling.
The downturn in the crypto market that saw cryptocurrencies lose more than half of their values have continued into the new year. Since the crash started in November, the number of blockchain companies restructuring their operations has increased as companies devise new methods to survive the bear market.
In the last three months, we have witnessed a litany of blockchain companies forced to shut down operations and in some cases, layoff team members to stay afloat. In spite of this mild depression, crypto lending has continued to thrive regardless, according to a Bloomberg report.
Seeing the potential of the crypto industry to grow, the developers saw an avenue to make even more money by providing flexible structures, affordable interest rates and high levels of fund security.
Crypto lending went mainstream in 2017. Lenders offered a way for bitcoin enthusiasts to borrow money using their digital assets as collateral. However, while it was widely believed that the niche's growth would slow down with the prevalence of the slump in crypto prices, lenders have been able to pivot and adjust to the market conditions.
The result? Continued expansion and profits, even while the rest of the crypto industry struggles.
For instance, BlockFi, a lending firm that got an initial $2.5 million investment from Mike Novogratz' Galaxy Digital, has reported a 10-fold increase in customers and revenues since June 2018. BlockFi started by developing a USD-based crypto loaning fund that enabled holders of Ether and Bitcoin to borrow money, while using their digital assets as collateral. Seeing the potential of the crypto industry to grow, the developers saw an avenue to make even more money by providing flexible structures, affordable interest rates and high levels of fund security.
The bear market might have reduced the value of most of these assets, but lenders (especially the first class of lenders discussed above) have continued to flood the BlockFi service. As a testament to investor belief in its business model, BlockFi has raised more rounds from investors such as Akuna Capital and Morgan Creek Digital. The company has also expanded its services to 42 states across the U.S.
In the same manner, SALT, another crypto lending firm, has recorded massive growth in its operations. The company, which was formed in June 2017, claims to have a customer base of over 70,000 borrowers, while also issuing well over $50 million since it launched its services. A year after its inception, the company got approval to expand its services to 20 additional location, bringing its total haul to 35 states in the country. According to CEO Bill Sinclair, the company is looking at expanding its operations to all 50 states by the end of 2019.
Another lending firm, Nexo, partnered with TrueUSD recently to give competitive rates to TUSD holders.


Oct 20, 2017 | The Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts at St. Bonaventure University will hold its eighth annual Cutco Family Day from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 28. The event is free and open to the public.


TQC has gained a seasoned knowledge and experience working with Cities and Counties to develop a transportation master plan. Information is gathered that includes current traffic volume data, street geometric information, traffic control types, current land use and zoning information, and future proposed land use and zoning information.
This information is reviewed to confirm current and/or projected street classifications. Summary reports and street maps are prepared indicating the future transportation master plan, including recommendations on major arterial street networks, traffic control improvements, and land use zoning recommendations.

1. Amsterdam will cease all tours in the city's most famous area
1.1. About the red-light district
1.2. Other measures to civilize tourism in Amsterdam
2. Plan your trip to Amsterdam
"It is no longer acceptable in this age to see sex workers as a tourist attraction," city councilor Udo Kock said in a formal statement issued last week. The measure complements a previous one, that forbids to take pictures of sex workers. The problem is that many tourists simply don´t follow that rule.
The red-light district sees around 1,000 guided-tours (both free and paid) per day, which stresses neighbors and the workers of the area, that claim the area has become unliveable. The city's effort is to reduce the number of tourists, especially the ones whose behavior is disrespectful. Amsterdam hosts around 19 million tourists per year while having around 1 million residents.
About the red-light district
For some, the red-light district is the most fascinating area of the city. It's said to have started around the 13th century, in the very city center, and today has brothels, sex shops, museums, pubs, coffee shops, and a friendly atmosphere. The liberal vibe of the place shows the pragmatic way of Dutch to deal with sensitive issues. In this case, the prostitution.
In the red-light, officially named De Wallen, sex workers are all legal, pay taxes and have their rights as any other worker. They stand on brothels windows, with red neon lights, and shock not a few. The offer and demand of sex work is not easy for everyone to see, and drunken tourists are a constant issue.
In 1988, prostitution was recognized as a legal profession and in October 2000 it was subjected to the municipal regulations about organization and business. Street prostitution however is forbidden. Any sex business must operate with a license, certifying that it has fulfilled the legal requirements.
Today there are around 280 windows brothels operating in De Wallen, with the legal working age of a prostitute set at 21 years old. The common price of sex session is set in 50€ for 50 minutes of professional pleasure.
Other measures to civilize tourism in Amsterdam
In addition to banning the tours in the red light, guided tours of other parts of Amsterdam's historic city center will be limited to 15 people (today the top is 20), and guides must pass a "quality check" to obtain a certification from the city council.
The red-light district tours banning is the latest in a series of measure to control tourism. Previous actions include tougher regulations on Airbnb, implementing a 7% tourist tax, and restricting development of new hotels and tourist-centric shops.

Born in Rwanda in 1956, Scholastique Mukasonga experienced from childhood the violence and humiliation of the ethnic conflicts that shook her country. In 1960, her family was displaced to the polluted and under-developed Bugesera district of Rwanda. Mukasonga was later forced to leave the school of social work in Butare and flee to Burundi. She settled in France in 1992, only 2 years before the brutal genocide of the Tutsi swept through Rwanda. In the aftermath, Mukasonga learned that 37 of her family members had been massacred. Twelve years later, Gallimard published her autobiographical account Inyenzi ou les Cafards, which marked Mukasonga's entry into literature. This was followed by the publication of La femme aux pieds nus in 2008 and L'Iguifou in 2010, both widely praised. Her first novel, Our Lady Of The Nile, won the Ahamadou Kourouma prize and the Renaudot prize in 2012, as well as the Océans France Ô prize in 2013 and the French Voices Award in 2014, shortlisted for the 2016 International Dublin Literary award and Finalist for 2019 National Book Awards for Translated Literature with The Barefoot Woman. In 2020, her novel Our Lady Of The Nile is adapted as film by Atiq Rahimi. The Film won the "Crystal Bear" at Berlinale 2020 and be part of the Official Selection for TIFF 2019.
Scholastique Mukasonga is a Rwandan author living in France. She was born in Gikongoro Province in 1956. Mukasonga left Rwanda before the Rwandan genocide, which killed 37 members of her family, her mother being one of them.

Growing Investments And Development In The Field Of Healthcare Industry Is Influencing The HDPE Nonwovens (TYVEK) For PPE Suits/coverall Medical Market Growth
Published On : 28-Sep-2021
HDPE nonwovens are strong and multipurpose fabrics that are majorly used in the medical industry owing to various advantages offered by HDPE nonwovens. Nonwovens are cheaper and easier to produce as compared to other fabrics. The use of HDPE nonwovens in the medical industry for various purposes and constant developments and introduction of new products in the HDPE nonwovens market is one of the major factors driving the demand for HDPE nonwovens in the medical industry. HDPE Nonwovens (TYVEK) for PPE Suits/Coverall Medical Market size is expected to be valued at US$1,042.95 million by the end of the year 2026 and is set to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period from 2021-2026
Although other types of materials provide good performance, HDPE nonwovens have become an important material in the processing of PPE suits and medical coveralls in the recent days, as they provide various advantages such as high tensile strength, high resistance to chemicals and toxins and other properties. And during the recent times, the demand for a durable and a better performing type of material for PPE suits/coveralls from the medical industry is driving the demand for HDPE Nonwovens (TYVEK) for PPE suits/coverall medical market. HDPE nonwovens can provide enhanced quality of PPE suits which can last longer than the PPE suits made with other types of materials such as wool and cut. Furthermore, growth opportunities exist for the HDPE Nonwovens (TYVEK) for PPE suits/coverall medical market as there have been growing investments in the field of medical industry driven by the continuing global shift towards the surging demand for the medical services.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, several industries such as healthcare and pharmaceuticals across various regions increased their production and services since there was an exponential surge in the demand for PPE suits and medical garments which further increased the demand for HDPE nonwovens in production of PPE suits and other medical garments. This is majorly driving the demand for HDPE Nonwovens (TYVEK) for PPE suits/coverall medical market.
Research and development are the core strategic focus of HDPE nonwoven manufacturers, which is contributing to the growth of the HDPE Nonwovens (TYVEK) for PPE suits/coverall medical market. The manufactures are constantly investing in research and development to improve existing product performance and optimizing manufacturing efficiencies. Exploring new technology platforms and production techniques and incorporating them into the product development process allows HDPE Nonwovens players to offer better product solutions that help clients stay ahead of the competition. In 2020, DuPont launched the #TyvekTogether program and Ansell launched the #NetworkofHeroes program, to meet the growing need for critical protection and supplies for PPE, also, to maximize their own production in order to meet the demand increment. In addition, DuPont also announced a $400 million investment in its Luxembourg facility to increase capacity for the production of Tyvek nonwoven materials. The production expansion, which will include a new building and a third operating line at the site, is set to begin this year in 2021. The R&D department of the companies are also constantly working to improve existing product performance, increase manufacturing efficiencies, and develop the next generation of HDPE nonwoven solutions for new applications. This is further expected to create various opportunities for the HDPE nonwovens (TYVEK) for PPE suits/coverall medical market.
Asia-Pacific holds a major share in the HDPE Nonwovens (TYVEK) for PPE suits/coverall medical market in the year 2020. In developing countries such as China, Japan, India and South Korea with the booming pharmaceutical and healthcare industry the demand for HDPE nonwovens is rising at a fast pace. For instance, in April 2021, the Dhanvantri Covid Hospital in Ahmedabad, India was inaugurated to deal with the rising number of coronavirus infections by the Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO). Additionally, in June 2021 Boeing India inaugurated a new hospital at KPCL's Yelahanka campus in Bengaluru, in collaboration with Doctors for You (DFY), Karnataka Power Corporation Ltd. (KPCL), and SELCO Foundation. By the end of 2022, the South Korean biopharmaceutical company estimated to have increased its production capacity by 70%. Furthermore, the COVID-19 outbreak in South Korea resulted in a positive impact on the market growth. With the rising Covid-19 palindrome the need for protective clothing in the pharmaceutical sector increased. In April 2020, the Indonesian textile and garment sector guaranteed the government to produce 17 million pieces per month, to provide adequate PPE for medical professionals in the country. According to the Ministry of Health and Welfare, in the past few years Taiwan's production of hospitals and clinics has increased gradually. In 2015, a total of 43 institutions were affiliated with medical care corporation which further increased to 56 institutions in 2019. According to the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), as of March 2021, MIDA has approved 46 projects to manufacture PPE (excluding gloves) with investments of RM3.65 billion that provides 9,205 employment opportunities. Domestic investors contributed 70% of the overall investment US$ 0.59 billion (RM 2.55 billion), while foreign investors provided the rest. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the growth of HDPE nonwovens in the Asia-Pacific country inclined. Various manufacturing companies started the production of protective clothing products in the year 2020, which became the major factor behind the inclining demand for HDPE nonwovens.

HDPE Nonwovens (TYVEK) for PPE Suits/Coverall Medical Market Growth Drivers:
Growing demand for disposable products in the healthcare industry is also increasing the demand for HDPE Nonwovens (TYVEK) for PPE suits/coverall medical market.
Disposable PPE apparel for the medical sector made of non-woven HDPE material are intended for a single use, whereas reusable PPE apparel made of woven fabrics are intended to last through multiple uses. Reusable textile apparel, on the other hand, are widely accessible at low prices, with quality ranging from homemade or artisanal to industrial outputs that have been certified. However, given the vast variety in protective efficacy, the growth in viral types with increasing transmissibility has prompted concerns about public use of reusable apparels. In the United States, over 80% of hospitals use disposable gowns and suits, with the remaining 20% using reusables. In addition, in Portugal, barely 20% of over 3000 certified reusable clothes had filtering efficiency more than 90%. Many countries including France, Austria, and Germany are enforcing the use of disposable clothes in numerous public venues in response to these new stresses while aiming to minimise economic disruption caused by lockdowns and the overloading of public health systems. Reusable hair covers, barrier gloves, shoe covers, and other similar items have been restricted in public settings despite their diversity and varying protection. Therefore, increased consumer awareness of the drawbacks of reused medical coveralls is driving demand for HDPE nonwoven medial apparels. As a result, market expansion is aided.
Research and Development departments are continually investing in enhancing the existing range of products, performance of HDPE Nonwovens (TYVEK) for PPE Suits/Coverall, optimizing manufacturing efficiencies, and developing the next generation of HDPE Nonwovens (TYVEK) for PPE Suits/Coverall Medical with newer applications. For instance, In August 2020, Silguard a new brand of personal protective equipment (PPE) was introduced by the Thailand-based VT Garment. It took only three months for VT's product development team to receive CE PPE Category 3 certifications for its coveralls and isolation gowns.
The Major Players in this Market Include
The major companies in the HDPE Nonwovens (TYVEK) for PPE Suits/Coverall medical market include DuPont de Nemours, Inc., Medtecs Group, Xiantao City Songqing Plastic Products Co., Ltd, Wuhan Woohoo Co., Ltd, HWTAI, Lakeland Industries Inc., Thrace Group, Xi'an Personal Protective Equipment Co., Ltd, Shandong Inso Industry Co., Ltd and Qingdao Trusty Industry & Trade Co., Ltd.
The key focus of the companies has shifted towards expansions and investments. For instance, in April 2021, PT Trisula Textile Industries TBK (BELL) has started to produce hazmat suits, as well as other personal protective equipment (PPE) for COVID-19 measures. In 10 April 2020 Thrace Group invested US$3.53 million in the production of Type I, Type II and Type IIR surgical masks in the group's facilities in Xanthi, Greece, in Forfar, Scotland and in Clara, Ireland. In 11 August 2020 in response of COVID-19 crisis, Kaiser Permanente, reached out to Home Depot for the availability of Tyvek HomeWrap, for the purpose of isolation gown material. Home Depot contacted DuPont and collaborated to donate rolls of Tyvek 1222A to Kaiser Permanente. Kaiser Permanente, called Lefty Production Co., for the purpose of production of isolation gowns from the Tyvek. In 1 July 2020 DuPont and Lowe's donated rolls of Tyvek 1222A to businesses across the United States, including Merrow Manufacturing, Thermaxx and Studio Displays, as part of the #TyvekTogether program, so as to support businesses that are transforming their operations, in order to help the supply of PPE. From this collaboration of DuPont and Lowe's, Merrow Manufacturing, became one of the largest producers of US-sourced PPE, to be donated.
In April 2020, the Indonesian textile and garment sector guaranteed the government to produce 17 million pieces per month, to provide adequate PPE for medical professionals in the country. The increase in the introduction of new products in the medical industry which is made of HDPE nonwovens is one of the major contributing to the growth in the HDPE Nonwovens (TYVEK) for PPE Suits/Coverall medical market.

I used the following songs: "Your Grace is Enough", "King of Glory", and sort of used the chord progressions of "Own Little World". Once again, there ended up being a lot of timing issues in this podcast. Can't wait to get the Disklavier. That will make timing much less of an issue. This podcast is actually a second take. My first take got botched for some strange reason. The left channel kept fading in and out. I tried to use automation to correct it, but it was so random it was easier to just record again. It could be the pre-amps in the audio interface, or an issue with phantom power. Hopefully it's isolated to inputs 7 and 8. I moved the mics to 3 and 4, played a sine wave for about 10 minutes, and there was no variation in amplitude. The Motu 896HD is almost 7 years old so I guess it may be time to look into upgrading.
YOUR AWESOME! Keep breaking down the walls of sin!

Post-mortem: England's World Cup campaign was completely chaotic
Tags: WC Cricket 2015, 33rd Match, Pool A - England Vs Bangladesh at Adelaide Oval, Mar 09, 2015, England, Bangladesh
Published on: Mar 10, 2015
Following their loss to Bangladesh, England have been knocked out of the ICC World Cup 2015, failing to make it to the quarter-finals.
Following their loss to Bangladesh, England have been knocked out of the ICC World Cup 2015, failing to make it to the quarter-finals. While they were never seen as favourites to win the event, even the most pessimistic of England bashers would not have predicted such a disastrous outcome for England. They will be the only side from the top eight to not feature in the quarter-finals. And while that is a massive setback for England cricket, one must say that the English brought it upon themselves, in a way. Their campaign was chaotic right from the time it kicked off, even before, given the last-minute changes in the team, significantly their leadership.
While it is a fact that Alastair Cook was struggling as both leader and batsman in one-day cricket, the ECB made a big mistake by dumping him just one series before the World Cup. It was a massive decision, and perhaps an influential one in the context of their performance as Eoin Morgan did not get enough time to work his way into Cook's shoes. The decision to drop Cook was the right one, but it came a bit too late, when England had already gotten used to his style of leadership. Morgan himself looked out of place as leader, an indication that he wasn't prepared for taking over the mantle. His struggles with the bat reflected the same as he looked a pale shadow of his real self.
On the field, England were let down big time by their senior players. James Anderson may be a great Test player, but he definitely has a mental block when it comes to playing in the World Cup. He went into the tournament averaging 40 with the ball over three World Cups, and fared even worse this time. Against the top nations, he was never in his elements, and thus England could never allow the pressure to build. Something similar can be said of Stuart Broad. If you take away his four-for, in the game against South Africa during the 2011 edition, he has been a massive World Cup flop. Broad did precious little to change things around this time. In spite of his hat-trick, Steven Finn was a massive disappointment.
England's experienced batsmen also let the side down. Bell got a couple of good scores, but the big knocks needed from him were missing. His partner Moeen Ali came up with a hundred against Scotland, but he had nothing to show against the bigger sides, raising question marks over his batting ability. England tried Gary Ballance at number three, but he was a major failure, and having a non-performing batsman at number three hurt England's chances even further. As mentioned earlier, Morgan struggled to score runs, and added to his duck-making spree. They were uncertain about their number six as well, and James Taylor clearly looked out of place lower down the order. Their batting as a whole was disastrous.
England were also hurt by the fact that they refused to take pro-active decisions. It was clear very early in the tournament that Ballance wasn't the right choice for the number three position, yet England held back Alex Hales till the Bangladesh game, by which time it was too late. Steven Finn too continued to find a place in the eleven in spite of being expensive repeatedly. Like Hales, Chris Jordan too got a chance all too late in the tournament. Ravi Bopara may not have been in form going into the event, but considering his experience, there was no reason for the team think-tank not to try him out. From selection to match preparedness, England drew a blank in all facets.

Anything Virgil Abloh is attached to these days is a big deal. Today we get a look at one of his latest creations, this time around pairing up with Converse for an updated, Off-White approach to the legendary Chuck Taylor High. The kicks are an icon which gets reworked into something unique and stylish for these modern times.
The kicks come rocking an all-white approach on the upper, offering up a translucent aesthetic throughout. The metallic eyelets make a nice touch, while the signature zip tie in red adds to the allure. The kicks feature details such as "Vulcanized" printed along the midsole and "Shoe Laces" upon the laces.
While we have been waiting for these to hit shelves, it seems they are coming sooner than later. The word on the interwebs is that the kicks are set to drop on May 10th, which is quickly approaching. Have a look at the kicks in the image up top and mark your calendars now. Keep it locked for more from Virgil Abloh coming soon.

Looking for the perfect Friday Lunch in Sydney - Ms G's Turns on the charm.
Where do you take a French blogger to experience a quintenssential Sydney long lunch at it's best? Modern, decidedly Asian and unlike anything I have experienced before - Ms G's of course - one of Merivale's most popular venues in their expanding suite of amazing Sydney restaurants. From the moment you enter the door bathed in pink neon, each floor has its own unique feel with four floors of unexpected dining looking out over leafy Potts Point. The signature Graffiti wall provided the perfect backdrop to enjoy some photo fun with fellow photographer and insta addict Lily Rose, and experience the wonderful new Spring Summer menu on offer.
Executive Chef Dan Hong and Head Chef Paul Donnely can do no wrong, with inventive and unique mouth watering Asian dishes, each with their own special edge. From the standout Prawn Spring Toast, Burrata with English Spinach, Poached Prawn and Chicken Salad and Curry Puff Jaffles, there is something amazing and interesting at every course. Oh and did I mention the Cheeseburger Spring Rolls!
The desserts were incredible! The standout was the 'Stoners Delight Part 3' - an indulgent combination of doughnut ice-cream, peanut dulce de leche, peanut and pretzel brittle, mars bar brownies, passionfruit curd, potato chips and deep fried nutella all together! The 'The Boss' came in at a close second with Thai milk ice-cream, salted caramel honeycomb, puffed rice, kaya French toast and blueberry jam. (I wont be sending these lunch photos to my trainer!) And of course a trip to Ms G's wouldn't be complete without a Ms G's Famous Yuzu Slushee - Wyborowa vodka, shot juju juice, Regan's orange bitters and lemon.
Ms G's has such a great vibe and was absolutely packed for a Friday lunch - so make sure you book ahead if you are planning a long lunch any time soon. With fabulous friendly staff, mouth popping menu, and funky decor, Ms G's comes highly recommended indeed!
Thanks to Lily Rose for spending a wonderful few days in Sydney together. Next time I see you will be in PARIS!
*Eat Read Love was a guest of Merivale.
Acclaimed Australian Artist Alexander McKenzie's new exhibition EDO opens at Martin Browne Contemporary on November 5th 2015.
The title of this latest exhibition reflects recent visits by McKenzie to Japan and his particular interest in Edo period gardens. The Edo period of the 17-19th centuries was a time of great political stability and seclusion from the world in Japan, which led to a flourishing of the creative arts.
I recently caught up with McKenzie in his home studio for a coffee and a chat and to talk about the ideas and inspiration behind these new works. Most of them were packed up ready to go but I did get a sneak peak of a few special pieces and they are incredible. We spoke of the magical Edo period gardens where the visitor is directed through the garden in a deliberate clockwise direction, encountering a series of scenes that are revealed at key points along the path. As in the gardens and McKenzie's work, often major elements are kept hidden until the last moment for maximum effect and impact.
This idea has played out in McKenzie's latest series of paintings where the strong narrative within the works is kept deliberately concealed until the viewer walks visually through the painting, discovering a series of scenes that are interwoven into the composition.
"This Edo period design idea is intended as a metaphor for real life, the uphill in the garden representing and uphill in life, arriving at the gardens summit simply reaching a peak in life" says McKenzie of the inspiration behind his new works. "I have taken this idea into the paintings where looking at the pictures carefully will reveal the story, for me it is this intended, almost unavoidable, maybe fatalistic walk that we go on in the paintings that truly echoes both our temporal and spiritual lives"
Alexander McKenzie has exhibited extensively with over 20 solo exhibitions in both Australia and UK since 1996. He is a five times finalist in the Archibald Prize for portraiture, and seven times finalist in the Wynne Prize for Landscapes.
Opening night on November 5 at Martin Browne Contemporary.

Otherwise, a selection of St. Barts wares can also be viewed and purchased through their online store. St. Barts is not only a store, it is also a story, and one that you're invited to become a part of.


Dosai with molaga podi is a very common thing to serve. When we go on trips we always make idli with molagapodi because dosai tends to get very dry. A week or two ago I was helping Shamala Aunty make dinner for a very special person. It was dosai spread with molagapodi and it tasted awesome and remained moist.
I have very fond memories when it comes to dosai swirls. Once we decided to go to the movies on a working day in the evening. On the way we had to pick up my sister-in-law from work. So my Aunt made dosai with molaga podi for my sister-in-law as tiffin which she packed for us to take. We got delayed and so carried the bag into the movie theater. Instead of popcorn that evening, we enjoyed dosai stuffed with molaga podi. It was so enjoyable that even today, I sometimes make it when we watch movies at home. The only thing I changed is the presentability. By rolling them into bite size pieces and inserting a toothpick it becomes an instant appetizer, perfect for snacking.
1. On a warm tava make dosai that is thicker than a roast and thinner than uttapam. Cook well on one side and lightly cook on the other side for a few seconds.
3. Mix oil and molgapodi well, then add a sprinkle of water and mix well.
3. Spread the molagapodi generously on the lightly cooked side of the dosai. Roll tightly and keep the open side facing downward. Cut into 2 inch pieces. Place on a plate and serve.
4. If serving as an appetizer, insert a tooth pick and serve them.
Wow nice way to have dosa.
Omg, how creative u r, makes a wonderful starter, love this desi style swirls.
That's a superb idea Srimathi, I make small dosas spread with molagapodi for my daughter's lunch, she likes that..
Very creative.. Makes an excellent starter..

Apple's iPad -- Will it improve the Web?
By Pete Cashmore, Special to CNN
Apple's Steve Jobs reportedly called Adobe "lazy," blaming the Flash plug-in for Mac crashes.
iPad promises to be best way to view the Web, but it doesn't show Flash animation
Apple CEO Steve Jobs reportedly called Adobe "lazy" because of Flash problems
YouTube, others experimenting with HTML5, which could be a blow to Adobe's Flash
Writer: Tech titans' squabble will create a poorer Web experience for iPad users
Editor's note: Pete Cashmore is founder and CEO of Mashable, a popular blog about social media. He is writing a weekly column about social networking and tech for CNN.com.
London, England (CNN) -- Apple's iPad launched last week, boasting the "best way to experience the Web."
Except that the iPad doesn't display the whole Web: It fails to support Adobe's Flash player, meaning that Hulu.com, most online video sites (apart from YouTube) and the majority of online games won't work on the device.
Surely the decision will frustrate iPad users -- but is Apple doing us a favor that will improve the Web in the long term?
Apple has yet to make an official statement on the iPad's lack of Flash support, but there's little doubt the move was intentional. A Wired article this week claims Apple CEO Steve Jobs recently called Adobe "lazy" -- he blames the Flash plug-in for a significant number of Mac crashes.
He'd rather see the world move to HTML5, which allows videos to play natively in the browser without installing Flash, adds the report. That could be good news for Web users, as you'd no longer need to install or update the Flash plug-in to view Web video -- installing a Web browser would be enough.
The move would be welcomed by open Web advocates, too. Proprietary technology like Flash is often seen as less desirable than open standards.
Whether the Jobs quote is accurate or not, I'm in the camp that sees HTML5 posing a threat to the Flash plug-in, long term.
YouTube already is experimenting with HTML5 in a limited test -- a complete switchover isn't feasible at this point, but would serve a crushing blow to Adobe if it were to transpire.
Other video sites, including Vimeo, are carrying out their own tests. I see no threat to Flash in the immediate future, however.
Only selected browsers -- like Google Chrome and Apple's Safari -- actually support HTML5.
Internet Explorer does not, and Web users are often slow to upgrade to newer browser versions.
Meanwhile, Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch argues in a post this week that the dichotomy is a false one, and that HTML5 is not a replacement for Flash, "certainly not today nor even in the foreseeable future."
He's right that Flash isn't dead in the water, but Adobe must also be aware that HTML5 will chip away at its dominance of the Web video space, perhaps over a period of years rather than months.
So is Apple doing us all a favor by pushing Web developers toward nonproprietary alternatives?
That seems unlikely. Apple is the king of the closed system, frequently rejecting applications from its App Store for inscrutable reasons.
The company is all about control, claiming that it improves the user experience. In many cases that's true, but this isn't one of them. Rather, it looks set to confuse Web users who see blank spaces on many of their favorite sites.
Whatever Apple's reasoning, lack of Flash on iPhones and iPads ultimately confuses users, while YouTube and other video sharing sites look set to popularize HTML5 without Apple's assistance.
It's a squabble among tech titans that will create a poorer Web experience on the iPad.

These are the most common questions people have when they come to my site. This article may give you all the answers you were looking for.
Heat rash or miliaria rubra is also called prickly heat. It is a skin condition affecting people of all ages but is more common in young children. It is caused due to excess sweating in hot and humid conditions. Heat rashes can also occur in winters from bundling up too tight in woolen clothes or blankets that lead to excessive sweating.
What are the signs and symptoms of heat rash?
Heat rash appears as a red cluster of boils or pimples. It typically affects the regions such as the neck, upper chest and back, armpits, below the breasts, in the groin and creases of the elbows. The rash can itch or sting and worsens with heat and humidity. Individuals may also feel fatigued and intolerant to heat on account of blocked sweat ducts that prevent sweat formation in affected regions.
Since heat rashes generally appear in the hot and summer months, it is best to avoid such environments as far as possible. Individuals must stay indoors or in air conditioned and cooler areas. People who need to work outdoors in hot and humid conditions must take basic precautions like drinking plenty of water, wearing loose and comfortable clothing, and taking frequent breaks in shaded areas.
Who is most at risk from heat rashes?
Heat rash can affect people of all ages, but it is more common in young children. Babies can also suffer from heat rashes when bundled up too tight. Workers who need to work in hot and humid environment are also prone to heat rashes particularly when they are not used to it. Sometimes, heat rash may also occur in people having a fever. People of all races can get heat rash but it is lesser in Asians.
What are the self care guidelines for early signs of heat rash?
Most mild cases of heat rashes go away on their own, by following basic precautions such as taking cool baths and keeping the skin dry by dusting liberally with talcum powders etc. One must also wear loose and comfortable clothing. People suffering from heat rashes must avoid creams and lotions as these keep the skin moist and aggravate the condition. If heat rash does occur, one must remove the tight and offensive clothing immediately and seek a cooler environment. If fever is causing the heat rash, one must take a fever reducing medication and ensure drinking plenty of fluids.
What kind of clothes should one wear for heat rash prevention?
Individuals prone to heat rashes must wear as little clothing as possible, when at home. One must choose light weight, loose fitting and light colored fabrics. When required to go outdoors, individuals must protect their head with a wide brimmed hat or an umbrella and seek shaded regions to keep the body as cool as possible.
As stated above, heat rashes generally go away after a while. However, secondary skin infections can occur particularly from scratching the site and these might need antibiotics for resolution. Medical help must be sought immediately if the rash is still present after a few days or is inflamed, pus-filled, oozing or swollen.
What treatment is prescribed for heat rashes?
Oral or topical medication containing antibiotics may be given for treating the secondary skin infections. If the heat rash is accompanied by excessive dehydration, then IV fluids may be administered. In case of a heat stroke, the patient may be treated to excessive cooling techniques to bring down the body temperature. These may need hospitalization particularly if the patient is being treated to immersion, evaporation or other invasive cooling techniques.
How can workers protect themselves in extremely hot working conditions?
Workers must pace their work and take frequent breaks in cooler environments. As stated above, workers must wear loose fitting clothing and keep the skin dry using prickly heat talcum powders. Factories and commercial facilities should provide rest areas and air conditioned rooms close to the workplace and also schedule strenuous outdoor activities during the cooler parts of the day.


So, exactly a year after the referendum, our Brexit talks have finally groaned into action, prefaced at the insistence of the EU's chief negotiator Michel Barnier by discussion of the three issues which he had ruled must be resolved before there can be any talks on a trade deal.
On the first, the post-Brexit status of EU and UK citizens, despite our being told that this is going well, much still remains to be argued over, such as the role of the European Court of Justice.
The second issue is the so-called "divorce bill" we have to pay for our share in all those ongoing financial commitments under the EU budget we have already signed up to as members.

Does Spire Inc.'s (NYSE:SR) P/E Ratio Signal A Buying Opportunity?
This article is written for those who want to get better at using price to earnings ratios (P/E ratios). We'll show how you can use Spire Inc.'s (NYSE:SR) P/E ratio to inform your assessment of the investment opportunity. Based on the last twelve months, Spire's P/E ratio is 24.45. That is equivalent to an earnings yield of about 4.1%.
Probably the most important factor in determining what P/E a company trades on is the earnings growth. That's because companies that grow earnings per share quickly will rapidly increase the 'E' in the equation. Therefore, even if you pay a high multiple of earnings now, that multiple will become lower in the future. So while a stock may look expensive based on past earnings, it could be cheap based on future earnings.
Spire saw earnings per share decrease by 32% last year. But EPS is up 11% over the last 5 years.
How Does Spire's P/E Ratio Compare To Its Peers?
The P/E ratio essentially measures market expectations of a company. The image below shows that Spire has a P/E ratio that is roughly in line with the gas utilities industry average (26.3).
Its P/E ratio suggests that Spire shareholders think that in the future it will perform about the same as other companies in its industry classification. So if Spire actually outperforms its peers going forward, that should be a positive for the share price. I inform my view byby checking management tenure and remuneration, among other things.
The 'Price' in P/E reflects the market capitalization of the company. Thus, the metric does not reflect cash or debt held by the company. Hypothetically, a company could reduce its future P/E ratio by spending its cash (or taking on debt) to achieve higher earnings.
How Does Spire's Debt Impact Its P/E Ratio?
Spire's net debt is 68% of its market cap. This is a reasonably significant level of debt — all else being equal you'd expect a much lower P/E than if it had net cash.
Spire trades on a P/E ratio of 24.4, which is above the US market average of 17.2. With significant debt and no EPS growth last year, shareholders are betting on an improvement in earnings from the company.
Investors have an opportunity when market expectations about a stock are wrong. As value investor Benjamin Graham famously said, 'In the short run, the market is a voting machine but in the long run, it is a weighing machine.' So this free report on the analyst consensus forecasts could help you make a master move on this stock.
You might be able to find a better buy than Spire. If you want a selection of possible winners, check out this free list of interesting companies that trade on a P/E below 20 (but have proven they can grow earnings).

Get partisan operatives out of Portsmouth city politics: Letters
Dec. 22 -- To the Editor:
I ran for City Council in 2017. One of the most positive experiences about it, for me, was that the candidates and the race itself, for the most part, were fiercely non-partisan. The Portsmouth City Council elects its candidates "at large," which means there are no specific ward representatives, but it also means that candidates avoid any political party affiliation during their run. It allows us to focus on the local issues rather than getting swept up in national cookie-cutter idealistic nonsense.
This is somewhat unique. Many other municipal governments across the country do associate their candidates with national party affiliations. And it's a good thing that we don't.
More:'This has to stop': Portsmouth residents, officials decry video targeting 'Becksted 5'
Why is it such a good thing? To start with, party-affiliated potential voters, especially at the local level, are actually in the minority. The vast majority of us don't associate with parties on a day-to-day basis. It may be that, at the polls, you see more partisans. But when one considers the entire electorate, partisanship disappears (and don't use registration as a gauge, some of us register just to vote in primaries). When considering our city's issues, it's the silent majority we want to hear from the most.
Secondly, people immediately draw lines in the sand once you bring parties into the picture. I've had people say to me, "I love all of your policies! But you're not a D or R, so I can't vote for you." The difference was palpable in conversations where party was removed from the picture. They were helpful and constructive rather than negative and divisive.
However, that doesn't mean the parties don't try to influence Portsmouth elections. When I ran, I was targeted by Democrat party operatives in emails to their own contact lists. It got so bad that I actually had other Democrats tell them to stop doing it on my behalf. Of all of the things I experienced during that election, that was the thing that left the worst taste in my mouth. It felt wrong, underhanded, and - for lack of a better word - slimy.
I find this hilarious, given that most of my local political opinions sway more towards what Democrats say they want, like support for schools and affordable housing by keeping up with demand. I share these opinions with Democrat politicians I have supported at the state level, like Steve Marchand and Senator Perkins-Kwoka.
It is my support for those people that probably landed me on the mystery text message contact list that has been sending me warnings about the "return of Trump!" and, more recently, the infamous video trying to link "The Becksted Five" (their term) with the Republican party and Trump in particular.
To be clear, I didn't vote for those candidates. They don't share the same vision or direction that I do for the city. But that disagreement has nothing to do with their political affiliation. It never will, and it's time we put a stop to party operatives trying to influence our local, non-partisan elections. It's disgusting, and the people who perpetrate it are disgusting.
If you have seen the video, it is so ridiculous that it makes you wonder what sane people would put it together and think that it would be effective - but it happened nonetheless. I have no idea if the same thing has happened in the past with Republican operatives (and I don't get communications from them), so I can't comment on that, but let's tell the NH Democrat Party machine to stay out of our city.
And we don't mean that nicely. Get out and leave us alone.

Help defeat the lie in your town, too!
Dec. 22 – to the Editor:
From the start, at our Deliberative Session in November, it seemed that voters in Greenland were not buying The Lie. The petitioner had no case. Everyone in the room knew it. And this weekend, voters in Greenland followed through at our Special Election: The warrant article to ban voting machines was soundly defeated.
The misinformation regarding New Hampshire's vote tabulating machines has no basis in reality. Those peddling it need to find just one voter in a town willing to collect enough signatures to do their bidding, namely to undermine trust in how our elections are run. If our trust is undermined, it will seem more palatable for future election losers to be declared the winners. Their goal is not the "voter integrity" that they claim; it is the polar opposite.
More:Greenland residents reject bid to eliminate vote-counting machines. It wasn't close.
You can help prevent this dangerous waste of time and resources from beleaguering your town. If someone knocks on your door with a petition, make sure to understand what you are being asked to sign. Call your town clerk to see if the lie is already getting traction. If it is already on the ballot for your next election, start getting organized NOW to defeat it. If hand counting of ballots becomes a reality in your town then dig in! Volunteer at election time to help count those ballots. Sign up to be a poll worker. Ask your party's town chair to be a poll observer. Continue to participate in our democracy, or it will be lost.
What we do still matters! We proved it over the weekend in Greenland! Our town was the first; but yours may be next. Your voice is your power to denounce The Lie and protect our democracy. It's time to use it!

NH's important role in Revolutionary War doesn't need to be exaggerated
During the recent visit to Fort Constitution (formerly William and Mary) to celebrate the actions of local patriots in December of 1774, prompted by the ride to Portsmouth by Paul Revere our Governor Sununu braggingly claimed it to be the first shots of the revolution. While the action at Fort William and Mary was brave and audacious, it is however considered to have been an offensive action by the patriots.
More:'Where the first shots were fired': NH, Sununu claim Revolutionary War history at Fort Constitution
According to many historians, the First Continental Congress in the autumn of 1774 agreed that any offensive actions by Britain on any one or more of the 13 colonies would be considered offensive actions on all of the 13 colonies and would then trigger retaliation and therefore revolution by the all.
And so the British offensive action in their march to Lexington and Concord is more likely to have been the actual start of the American Revolution despite the brave taking of Fort William and Mary by brave Portsmouth patriots in December of 1774.
As a footnote, much of the powder taken by the patriots from Fort William and Mary was taken to Exeter New Hampshire for safekeeping, and some of it was eventually used in the Battle of Bunker Hill.
Some historians have estimated that as many as 60% of the colonial fighters in the battle of Bunker Hill were from New Hampshire, home of the brave.
