In these very different times, it makes sense that our reality television looks very different as well. That's the intention behind Tough as Nails, CBS' latest reality hit that concludes its first season tonight.
Conceived by The Amazing Race host Phil Keoghan and his wife and producing partner Louise Keoghan, Tough as Nails brings together 12 competitors from all walks of life with one thing in common: Toughness. Spanning a range of ages and variety of ethnicities and backgrounds, they've spent nine episodes competing simultaneously in teams of six and individually for the grand prize. And after a series of epic showdowns and inspiring conversations, only five contestants are left in the hunt for $200,000 and a Ford Super Duty truck.
Check out Phil's interview with Parade.com about the series below, including his reaction to being renewed for season 2. Tough as Nails' season one finale airs tonight at 9 p.m. ET on CBS. And be sure to watch Phil next month when The Amazing Race come back on Oct. 14!

You obviously had an expectation set as you were pitching and conceptualizing the show. How did you feel once filming the finale ended and you got to see its execution?
Well, if there was one word, it would be "relief." I'd been pitching it for so long to so many different executives over so many years; it's relief that what I was saying could work. And it's certainly not a dig at anybody who said no to it. There's no surefire way of knowing when you pitch anything that it's going to work, especially when it's not like anything else on TV. As much as you are selling and as much as you're making promises, you really don't know. It is a crapshoot. There is a certain amount of luck or an unknown entity there. I could have very easily had this show not work. I'm not naive enough to think that I was right all this time.
What surprised you the most upon filming Tough as Nails?
The biggest surprise was how important the team competition became in the overall format. I knew it would be a powerful element, but I always thought the individual challenge would overshadow it. And what we've come to realize is that they have their own place, they have equal standing. The way that the audience responded to the idea that people didn't go home. I thought people would like that, but I didn't know they would like it as much as they have.
For so many years, a lot of TV shows have been about all or nothing, in or out, good or bad, fast or slow. So I think by doing something like this, where there are two mutually exclusive competitions running, we're saying we value you regardless of whether you're going to be the overall winner, and your teammates value you as well. You're part of this team, which is a family. Without you, they're going to hinder their chances of winning money for their team. To me, that was the most surprising part of it, just how important it became to the audience and the contestants.
To that point, it was pretty striking last episode to hear the teams call each other family, considering they're still competitors. And the team competition also brought out big storylines, like the epic fall and rise of Savage Crew.
I had some early concerns that it would be difficult to balance the two. And what really helped were the drive times, because they helped separate the two competitions and give them reset to when we were going from one to the other. And as far as the family thing goes, that is real. I mean, you only have to look at them now. They text each other all day every day. They have their own little chat rooms. They've made connections for life. And that's incredibly heartfelt. If it weren't for them coming on the show, they would never have met each other. And now it had been deep these deep feelings For each other, which is really cool.

What has been your response to the fan reaction to Tough as Nails, especially as a new show?
I think there's always a resistance in this day and age to allow something new and different to come into the space. People have their favorites. They love Survivor or The Amazing Race or American Idol or The Voice. So if you say, "I've got something worthy of you spending time investing in," I think the first reaction is, "I don't have time for this. I got my shows. I've gotten the things I love. I don't need another reality show. What the hell is this?" And I'm kind the same way! If something new and different comes along, I tend to go into watching with a little skepticism. I'm almost willing myself not to want to watch something else. (Laughs.) I love it when people were pulled into it. I had one person say, "I really wanted to hate this show. But I really love it. And it's now one of my favorite shows." That person went into this thinking that they didn't want to accept it.
In your opinion, what has been the biggest reason for Tough as Nails' success?
It's just a fantastic balance of putting the right people in place to make a show. It's so incredibly important that you don't think that you can do everything, that you accept that you need really good people to believe in your vision and enhance it and make it better than you ever thought you could make it. To accept that they can take it to another level that you can't in their job. If you've got a soccer team and got a great board who scores all the goals, you will also have someone back there protecting goals from the other team. You have to have people in their position who are better than you at doing what they do on the field.
They believe in your vision and want to do the best they can to take it to the next level and bring the best of what they have to your idea. When you look around on a production and see Scott, the DP I've been working with for 28 years, or my wife and producing partner, people who have been invested in this for so long with me. Even the network executives who allowed me to do this, who gave me a shot. You know they are giving everything they've got. I wanted to push the envelope. I had a very specific way I wanted to shoot and color it. And they trusted me, and it's not something I take lightly. It's huge.

To that point, the casting this season really highlighted a wide variety of backgrounds and stories, which allowed them to pop on screen. Considering its success, what are you looking for with casting in season 2?
The key is to continue to have representation and continue to deal with racism, sexism, and ageism. These are three hot topics in the working world. We need to be proactively sharing stories that don't necessarily always get told. Like the story with Lee and Michelle being older but relevant. The story of Young coming from Korea, where there are very few Korean firefighters. Those are important stories to tell.
I feel very proud of the cast, and I hope to continue to show and represent different stories that represent what America is. Whether we want to admit it or not, it's many colors, backgrounds, and cultures. It wasn't that long ago that people would use an expression like, "Let's cast an all-American person in this role." And I would think, "What the hell does that mean? All-American could be anything anybody? What does an American citizen look like?" We want to be leaders in showing different stories. There are only twelve casting slots. Hopefully, over a period of seasons, we do a good job of covering more and more different stories.
We don't want to repeat what we've done. We don't want to go, "Let's do another Lee; let's do another Murph. We want them to be standalone." Let's do someone who isn't like anybody we've had. Maybe as it relates to qualities that they have, but let's not find a complete copy of that person. They need to be standalone. And they'll never be another Lee!
Tough as Nails happens to come during a very tumultuous year that finds us more divided than other. How does that show fit into the landscape of today?
The biggest thing that concerns me today is that we are being fed what we want to be fed. Because of algorithms, if we find something interesting, we get fed more of it. And so we're drilling in on difference. For the most part, we're not interested in others' opinions if they're different from ours. It takes a lot of patience and effort to sit down with somebody and understand where certain bias comes from. But those are conversations that have to happen.
I feel like on this show, we facilitated some of those conversations without directing them. We just got them in the van, and they start talking about things that they want to talk about. To me, it's just a great opportunity to open up a dialogue. If we're all hanging out with friends at a dinner table, and we're having a good debate or discussion about the political situation, the worst thing that can happen is somebody gets up from the table and walks away. We never get to hear what they have to say. We need more dialogue. And this is, in a very small way, a way that those dialogues can happen. But we need more.
Finally, give us a sneak peek of the season 1 Tough as Nails finale tonight.
Don't assume that a man is always stronger than a woman in the upper body. Don't underestimate somebody's size, and don't underestimate the grit of any of these contestants. They all got there because they all have these amazing attributes. And in the finale, we're going to test all of those attributes altogether. It's a hell of a showdown.

A little light in color, with a brick red hue and strawberry, floral and sliced plum character. Full-bodied, with chewy, velvety tannins and a rich, powerful finish. This really builds on the palate, ending with a lovely finish. Best after 2012.


A major blow to both the gamblers and betting sites has been the cropping in of fixed matches. Initially thought to be a small problem only affecting football, the robust gambling culture that has come up has resulted in a few people going in to make a lot of money through illegal ways. Some gamblers access this fixed matches and make vast sums of money while some who bet on this games blindly end up losing significant amounts of money on sure bets.
Irrespective of how well adapted to different weather conditions players are, adverse weather changes may alter the progress of a game. The performance of a team may be affected by, for example, an unexpected storm or freezing conditions for those from tropical countries. These factors may impact on the results of a rugby game to an extent that gamblers lose a lot of money. A wise player will always double-check on the expected weather conditions and base partly on it in placing their bet.
A team may be stronger than the opponents but being in a bad physical form in that particular match may prove a major risk for those with their money staked on the game. It is often a surprise to the fans and gamblers when a team expected to win by a large margin is beaten hands down by an underdog team. This form is one of the often unpredictable determinants that may mean millions of money of gamblers cash disappearing to betting site and the high-risk gamblers staking on underdogs.
It may be a player's favourite team, but that doesn't mean that they put their money on it. Regions vary in the potential to offer lucrative games. The high competition areas may be a good place for high-risk takers, but it is unsafe for those who are low-risks takers. The regions with less competition offer fertile grounds for low-risk takers.

Home » How to get rid of the clutter before the move?
Posted on July 9, 2018 by Eleanor P.
So -you are moving to Florida soon. And it seems quite easy. But before you know it – things get hard. And complicated. As the time passes – it gets even worse. Is there an end? Yes, there is. However, in order to make things simpler and easier on yourself, you will need to take some steps. Once you start completing tasks, one by one – things will look much less complex. And they will be. But what are the steps you must take in order to make relocation possible? Stay tuned, and learn how to do it. Let us give you a hint – you will need to get rid of the clutter before the move. And not only that! Keep on reading and let us help you move with ease!
Make a moving strategy and stick to it!
This concept is very important. That is, if you want to move hassle-free. And we believe you do. So, make a good plan and do everything that is in your power to stick to it. Postponing tasks is never a good idea. But it might be a good idea to make a moving checklist. It will provide you with a much clearer picture of your relocation and tasks that need to be completed before the moving day comes.
What needs to be done before the moving day comes?
A lot. Be realistic – moving your whole life to another place can't be an easy task to take on. But, if you come prepared, and complete tasks one by one – you can relocate stress-free.
Hire a moving company on time.
Get rid of the clutter before the move.
Wait for the movers to come and enjoy your new beginning!
Calculate your budget and try to be realistic about your finances. You are the only one who knows how much you are able to spend on your relocation.
Once you do – you are ready to start looking for the moving company. But, be careful. There are many movers on the market, but you will need to find the right one. How? Try to find a mover that offers a wide range of moving services – at an affordable price. Never settle for anything rest. You deserve the best of the best. Also, make sure you don't get scammed. Hire only reputable movers. The people you entrusted your belongings with need to be properly trained, licensed and insured. That is the only way to ensure your belongings safety. And that is what comes first, isn't it?
Your belongings and how to get rid of the clutter before the move?
In order to move with ease, you will need to say goodbye to some of your items. This is not a moment to become sentimental. Once you start feeling nostalgic- remember one thing – you need to get rid of the clutter before the move if you want to make it easy on yourself.
Keep it clean and simple!
Start off with items that you don't use or need anymore. You have many such items in your house – for sure. Everybody does. And there is no better time to say goodbye to some of these items than right before the move.
Go through your closet, attic, basement, and every corner of your house. And the result? You will find so much clutter everywhere that it will surprise you. But it shouldn't really. This is something that happens to all of us. How to get rid of the clutter before the move? You have more than one option here.
That's right. You can sell some of these items. Online or at a yard sale. One person's trash is other person's treasure. And the best thing about this – you can even make some money this way. Probably not much, so don't expect to become a millionaire over the night – but enough to make the relocation period easier.
How about helping the ones in need? There is no better feeling. This way you will help someone who needs it, and you will get rid of the clutter before the move. It's a nice little bonus. Isn't it?
Give your belongings a second chance – don't just throw them away. Remember the impact we have on our planet! And – try to be nice to it!
Ask your friends and family members if they would like to take some of your belongings – of course, ones that you don't need anymore.
And – if everything else fails – throw away some of your belongings.
Be reasonable – you don't need everything!
Once you get rid of the clutter before the move, it is time to start packing. But before you do – you will need to gather some packing supplies. And we advise you to get professional ones. That is – if you want to ensure your belonging's safety. And if packing seems like a hassle – look for Florida packing services. They might come in handy.
You should hire the moving specialist in advance, but if you haven't done it yet – you are in the luck! Moving Kings FL is at your service whenever and wherever you need us to be! So – call us today and get a free moving quote and all the help you might need. And once you get in touch with us, all you will need to do is to wait for our team to come to your house and take care of everything for you.

NHL approves new four-conference format
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. - NHL officials approved a radical realignment plan Monday that will give the league four conferences instead of six divisions and guarantee home-and-home series among all teams.
The board of governors authorized commissioner Gary Bettman to implement the proposal pending input with the NHL Players' Association. It could be put in place as early as next season
The league considered two plans to accommodate Atlanta's move to Winnipeg this past summer. The first would have simply moved the Jets to the Central Division and either Detroit or Columbus to the Southeast.
"The simple one wasn't as simple as it looked when you got done with it," Bettman said.
The board opted to go with the more dramatic switch, creating four geographic conferences—two with eight teams and two with seven.
The new format will increase overall travel in the regular season, especially for Eastern Conference teams who will now have more trips West. But it cuts down on travel for some Western Conference teams, which was a critical issue for teams like Detroit, Dallas, Columbus and Nashville.
"This is not a subject that everybody is going to get their first choice on," Bettman said. "What you try to do is come up with something that everybody can live with, get comfortable with and understands the value of. Because if you ask 30 clubs, you'd probably get 30 different solutions. That's what makes this a difficult process."
The new look has two conferences with seven teams all based in the Eastern time zone: New Jersey, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New York Rangers, New York Islanders, Washington and Carolina in one and Boston, Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Buffalo, Florida and Tampa Bay in the other.
The third conference consists of eight teams in the Eastern and Central time zones: Detroit, Columbus, Nashville, St. Louis, Chicago, Minnesota, Dallas and Winnipeg. The fourth conference has eight teams in the Mountain and Pacific time zones: Los Angeles, Anaheim, Phoenix, San Jose, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Colorado.
The conferences have not been named.
Teams will play home-and-home series against all nonconference teams and five or six games in their conference. The top four teams in each conference will make the playoffs, with the first two rounds consisting of solely intraconference matchups. Bettman said he will consult with general managers in the spring before deciding whether to reseed the playoffs in the third round or to have pre-determined matchups.
Bettman said he liked the current format that he devised of six five-team divisions but that Winnipeg's move from Atlanta forced some change. He didn't take a stance on either proposal, but simply explained the pros and cons and allowed the teams to vote.
There was about an hour of discussion, and representatives from about a dozen teams spoke before the plan was approved.
"We had clubs, a number of clubs, that were unhappy with the current state of affairs," Bettman said. "In the context of having to make a change anyway, I felt it was important that their needs and concerns were recognized."

Paul Volcker to Better Markets: "Carry on the Battle!"
Although he was a former Chairman of the Federal Reserve and held many other high positions with august titles throughout his storied career, the title Paul Volcker earned, deserved and most cherished was that of "public servant." For many decades, he served his country with class, humility, self-deprecation, and steadfastness. As Robert Kennedy extolled, real courage is a rare commodity, but Paul had an abundance and it fueled his fearlessness. His moral compass could not be swayed by money, power, connections, or passing matters of the moment. Self-interested and fact-free criticism rolled off him with an indifference that offended the mighty who think they must be obeyed.
Paul was always very encouraging of the mission and work of Better Markets. In our last conversation, he said "Now it is up to you to carry on the battle!" Our President and CEO was fortunate to moderate a panel Paul was on last year (discussed here), where they had an "eye-to-eye" conversation about those coming battles!
Much has been written about Paul, but two of the best were by Martin Wolf and Gillian Tett in the Financial Times here and here. They are well worth the read. Our short statement is here. And, don't forget to read his autobiography: "Keeping At It: The Quest for Sound Money and Good Government."

Steelers Six From Around The Web – Thursday May 21st
By Dave Bryan
Posted on May 21, 2009 at 8:30 am
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger does not have cancer and does not have a Facebook page. Browns fans are very jealous at times, so do not be alarmed. The internet should not be allowed access to Browns, Bengals and Ravens fans as they do not know how to use it ethically.
Steelers linebacker Bruce Davis snatched up No. 50, which had been worn by Larry Foote. Many of his teammates didn't realize he was making the change and did a double-take on the field on Tuesday. Geez Bruce, let\'s worry about making the final 53 man roster first.
Pittsburgh police Chief Nate Harper and four other police officers who were among the first to arrive in Stanton Heights on the morning of April 4, when a gunman killed three of their colleagues will join the Steelers on their trip to the White House.
Mewelde Moore and Max Starks let Mike Bires know why they can't wait to meet President Obama.
The International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame announced last week that Hall of Fame receiver Lynn Swann will be the third inductee into the Bowling Hall of Fame Celebrities Exhibit and the first to be in-ducted into the brand new museum to be completed in early 2010.
Funny to hear blabbermouth Joe Theismann blast back on Tony Kornheiser. Personally I could not stand either of them on Monday Night Football.

The United Kingdom does not have a written constitution, meaning its constitution is "partly written and wholly uncodified." As a result, the UK's system of government is one of parliamentary sovereignty. This principle consists of two major components. First, British courts cannot overrule legislation coming from Westminster. This might sound foreign to an American audience, where the U.S. Supreme Court can strike down what laws it deems unconstitutional through judicial review. Second, British law states that no parliament can bind the hands of a future parliament. This means that, in theory, the parliament has final say on legislation governing any British citizen. British parliamentary sovereignty contrasts sharply with the check-and-balance mindset of the American Founding Fathers and with the notion of constitutional supremacy in Germany. Many have argued that domestic as well as international developments in recent decades have both complicated the tenet of parliamentary sovereignty and eroded its principles. On the other hand, political philosophers and legalists challenge the assumption by raising the question of whether parliamentary sovereignty still is, or ever has been, central to the British Constitution.
The proponents of the erosion argument agree that the loss of British parliamentary sovereignty was incremental in nature due to three major domestic developments: devolution, constitutional reforms, and the empowerment of the British central bank and courts. Devolution refers to the process by which the legislative power of Westminster has been increasingly shared by Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales, and the Northern Ireland Assembly. Parliament's legislative power has also been devolved to city regions like Greater Manchester, which have gained extra control over local budget and decision making abilities. The Labour government from 1997 to 2007 strengthened the local legislatures and sub-levels of government through other measures. The Local Government Act 2000 allows for referendums on directly elected mayors. In 1997, the Bank of England was granted autonomy over monetary policy, and the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 established the UK Supreme Court, both of which chipped away Westminster's authority.
Internationally, the UK's commitment to various multilateral institutions has led to erosion of its national, and thereby parliamentary, sovereignty. The UK enacted The Human Rights Act 1998 at the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), which created extra hurdles for Parliament to act autonomously. When the body creates laws deemed incompatible with the ECHR mandate, Parliament is required to revisit its current provisions. The UK also joined the European Union in 1973, binding the UK to European law. The doctrine, known as the "direct effect," was established in the landmark case of Van Gend en Loos under Article 25 of the EC treaty, the implication being that European law will take precedence upon conflict with UK law.
In the aftermath of several recent high-profile British referenda, including the vote to exit the European Union in 2016, it seems as though public opinion carries more weight in the legislative process than what a state driven by parliamentary, not popular, sovereignty would normally allow. Using referenda to make large legislative decisions (such as the 2011 referendum on Alternative Voting reform), signals the slight but legitimate possibility of a power shift from parliamentary to popular sovereignty. The media and public alike also seem to support the instrument of referendum, as many are calling for a second referendum in the aftermath of Brexit. In any case, these recent developments lead to the conclusion that Westminster's power is eroding. It also triggers the debate that perhaps Parliament has de jure sovereignty but not de facto autonomy.
Scholars seem split on the question of parliamentary sovereignty, but they mostly agree on the need for certain constitutional reforms. Vernon Bogdanor represents the group that believes parliamentary sovereignty is no longer valid today. Iain McLean, on the other hand, epitomizes the group that challenges the concept of British parliamentary sovereignty as only a recent construct promoted by the conservative establishment. He thinks that the concept was never central to legislative decision-making. In either case, a constitutional reform appears to be the best solution to increase citizen engagement in the government, to reduce the encumbersome House of Lords, and to increase legislative efficiencies. Parliamentary sovereignty, if not relevant to legislative debate, is certainly relevant in terms of revisiting constitutional reform in the post-Brexit United Kingdom.

OOPS! That's the best color.

Civil rights attorney and author Geeta N. Kapur on pushing UNC to confront its systemic racism
October 7, 2021 - The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was built by enslaved Black people but refused to admit Black students until the 1950s and only after a protracted legal fight — and the school continues to struggle around issues of race today. Civil rights attorney Geeta N. Kapur documents UNC's troubling history in her new book "To Drink From the Well: The Struggle for Racial Equality at the Nation's Oldest Public University," which she discussed with Facing South.
Pauli Murray documentary shines light on an overlooked trailblazer
September 29, 2021 - Facing South interviewed co-director Julie Cohen and producer and writer Talleah Bridges McMahon, two creators behind "My Name is Pauli Murray," a new documentary that details the triumphs and struggles of the groundbreaking civil rights and feminist lawyer and advocate who was raised in Durham, North Carolina.
VOICES: An original Freedom Rider welcomes the Freedom Ride for Voting Rights
By Joan C. Browning
June 28, 2021 - Joan C. Browning of West Virginia took part in the 1961 Freedom Rides challenging segregated transportation in the Jim Crow South, and she recently welcomed the Black Voters Matter Freedom Ride for Voting Rights to Charleston. We're reprinting the full text of her remarks drawing on history to suggest paths to a more just future.
Black Voters Matter holds Freedom Ride across the South to promote voting rights
June 17, 2021 - This Juneteenth, Black Voters Matter will launch a bus tour through Southern states marking the 60th anniversary of the original Freedom Rides that successfully challenged segregation. The tour will promote the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and drive home the importance of confronting voter suppression.
Big Southern metros grow more diverse but neighborhood integration lags
By Rolando Zenteno
July 31, 2020 - The South's five most populous metropolitan areas are rich in racial and ethnic diversity, yet segregation persists at the neighborhood level. A recent Trump administration decision to scrap a rule designed to prevent racial discrimination in housing is unlikely to help.
TWISTED SOURCES: How Confederate propaganda ended up in the South's schoolbooks
By Greg Huffman
April 10, 2019 - Though better known these days for erecting statues to Confederate veterans during the Jim Crow era, the United Daughters of the Confederacy also promoted white supremacist Lost Cause propaganda through their campaigns to control history textbooks used in the South's public schools. That miseducation continues to haunt our politics today.
Honoring Reconstruction's legacy: Educating the South's children
By Rebekah Barber Billy Corriher
October 11, 2018 - After the Civil War, new state constitutions drafted with the help of freedmen required former Confederate states to establish their first public school systems. But 150 years later, education advocates are still fighting to ensure that Southern states live up to their mandate to offer every student a decent education.
INSTITUTE INDEX: The racist roots and fruits of the Supreme Court's Janus ruling
June 29, 2018 - Dealing a blow to the labor movement that will disproportionately affect people of color, the conservative majority's ruling that public-sector workers represented by unions should be able to pay nothing for that representation endorses a policy first promoted in the 1940s South by pro-segregation business interests hostile to organized labor because of its work on behalf of racial justice.
How Trump is hastening the resegregation of Southern schools
May 10, 2018 - As federal courts have released some school districts from orders requiring desegregation, schools in the South have become more racially segregated than they've been in 50 years. Trump's judicial nominees and his Department of Justice could make things worse.


The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology has unveiled the winners for the second phase of a pair of contests that sought healthcare data management applications for consumers and providers.
The Consumer Health Data Aggregator Challenge and the Provider User Experience Challenge aimed to foster the development of market-ready apps that will help consumers and providers integrate health data from different sources into one platform, the Department of Health and Human Services said Thursday.
PatientLink Enterprises won first place with $50,000 prize under the consumer-focused challenge for its MyLinks cloud-based application that works to gather, manage and share patient data via several methods.
Green Circle Health bagged the second place and "connector" prizes worth $25,000 each for an app that is designed to import patient data into a platform to create a family health dashboard that contains personal and medical device data, remote monitoring and reminders.
The 1upHealth platform was recognized as an honorable mention as it supports patients in the organization and exchange of data from different sources.
Herald Health won first place prize worth $50,000 under the Provider User Experience Challenge for a system that works to helps clinicians create customizable push notifications to manage the flow of alerts.
A team comprised of the University of Utah Health Care, Intermountain Healthcare and Duke Health landed second place with connector prizes worth $25,000 each for a tool designed to provide recommendations for the treatment of babies born with jaundice.
PHRASE Health was given an honorable mention for clinical decision support that helps clinicians organize priorities such as public health alerts.


Father William Kelly, S.J. is entering his 23rd season as team chaplain for the Marquette basketball program.
Born and raised in Chicago, Father Kelly earned his bachelor's degree from Saint Louis University in 1948. Following a three-year teaching stint at Saint Louis University from 1948 to 1951, he went on to earn a master's degree in theology from St. Mary's College in Kansas.
Ordained in 1954, Father Kelly attended Catholic University in Paris from 1958 to 1961 and subsequently obtained his doctorate of theology from there in 1963.
Father Kelly taught at Marquette from 1961 until his retirement in 2000.

A new workout program is currently under development, which will target the majority of people who are unable to use fitness systems currently on the market due to their high intensity.
One F!T is a 3-week beginner's course that will be completely free on my YouTube channel: "JTee Rama." I'm dubbing it "Real Fitness, For Real People." There will be three workouts per week—Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
One F!T is a new fitness program that is specifically designed for people who are unable to either visit the gym or use the high intensity systems that are currently being promoted on the open market. This program will mainly benefit those who are unable to find a fitness regimen that will work for them due to physical restrictions or a lack of time and availability. According to the creator, most of the popular fitness systems that are currently being promoted set unrealistic goals for a large number of people.
"The concept of One F!T came about after I discovered a silent majority that was not being represented in the fitness industry. These people that I'm referring to, corporate professionals, students, baby boomers like my parents, etc. are extremely busy and don't really have the time to make the trip to the gym after a long day," says Jeffrey Tu, the creator of One F!T.
Tu claims to have been in the military and that he has completed extremely challenging workout programs, such as P90X and Insanity on several different occasions, and that he has significant experience when it comes to physical fitness. He will be providing his workout system on YouTube completely free of charge. The videos will go live three times per week and will not last more than 10 minutes per session. Tu feels that this will allow the average person to easily stick with the system and be able to increase their physical fitness over time. He feels that the key to being healthy and fit is finding a system that can be used on a regular basis and not just for a few months at a time.
Tu was also quoted as saying, "One F!T is a 3-week beginner's course that will be completely free on my YouTube channel: 'JTee Rama.' I'm dubbing it "Real Fitness, For Real People." There will be three workouts per week—Monday, Wednesday, Friday—and each workout will not exceed 10 minutes."
Though Tu will be producing this fitness course for free, he is looking to build funds that will be used to pay for advertising, cover his living expenses while he creates the program, and for better production equipment. He has estimated that this will cost approximately $20,000.00 and has created an Indiegogo campaign to help raise the money he needs. Though anyone can donate any sum of money to this project, Tu is giving away a perk to people who contribute $1,000.00 or more. Backers who choose to contribute this sum will be given a commercial video created by Tu. For more information about One F!T, visit the Indieogogo campaign here.

When was the last time you picked up a pen or perhaps clicked on Microsoft Word and simply started writing something, anything, just for the fun of it?
Writing is a vital building block of literacy. However, in this age, the convenience of laptops, tablets and smart phones have caused all of us to be so used to typing in short form and there are even some who only communicate through video/audio bites and emojis! Many kids struggle with writing well, however there are still ways parents can inculcate writing in your children though it has become a rare habit. Here are five ways to help your child write well and better internalise the skill.
Did we mention that early writing helps to improve your child's reading confidence? The first words and sentences children learn to read are also the first things they write. Writing gives your child confidence in literacy.
There is no better way to teach him/her writing than setting an example. Learning about how writing is an essential skill that is used in our everyday lives allows your child to recognise the importance of learning how to write. Talk to them about how you use writing – from taking notes, to writing down recipes and diary entries – and you provide a rough idea of how writing is indispensable.
Pretend play is possibly one of the first few games we played during childhood, and children usually find exceptional joy in mirroring the things that adults frequently do. What better way than to incorporate writing into a game your child thoroughly enjoys? If she loves tea parties, encourage her to write invitation cards, menus or signboards. If he loves to be a detective, encourage him to sketch maps and label them, or make a list of his discoveries!
However, take it slow because it is a thin line to cross between including writing in a game that they like and bringing your child greater delight, and potentially turning playing pretend into a chore he/she dislikes.
Countless families set aside time every week, or every night for family reading time where everyone gathers for story time. The same can be done for writing; your family can set aside time every week to write together, even if it's for a mere 15 minutes. Explore creatively, you can do so many things together as a family and that includes writing appreciation letters, imaginative stories, journal entries, or even an email to Grandma.
This brings the family closer, and is a great way of parent-child bonding aside from your hectic schedules.
Another exciting way of learning to write is making lists. Lists and lists of everything! They are not only interesting, but also a great way to kickstart lessons in writing. They are simple to complete and along the way your child learns the skill of sequencing, which is a key writing feature.
Examples of lists include: lists of activities they will like to do during vacation, list of things to bring to school tomorrow, a grocery list, etc. Make it extra fun by writing on colourful paper and provide markers to spice it up!
We all have differing learning styles, and while you may know yours, your child might be too young to tell just yet. Hence, learning to write can be translated into various styles to achieve the optimum effect. In this case, it can be about learning the shapes of words using sand or play-dough. Tracing words in sand or making letters out of clay/play-dough helps any potential kinaesthetic learner effectively pick up the skill. It might turn out to be a headache for parents, but we're sure the mess will be worth the skills your young one will potentially acquire!
Plan a family day at the beach, or a stay-home play date with friends using play-dough and have fun! Any learning expert will tell you – do not be afraid to get creative during sensory play.
What activities do you organise to encourage learning and writing in your kids? Share with us in the comments below!


This is a less rambling lost and messy version than one earlier. I hope it is. After a while when I am working in several different mediums it is easy to get lost in God, in the third circle/level of beauty and ugliness beheld before the heart is given all to see and all to feel. I cut it in half and used wave form sound patterns as it progresses but it is still an angry work and anger is the target aimed at in dawn mists to shed this skin and bring myself back into the love of Tara, Buddha and Guan Shin Yi once again.

Music, horns and sirens as Woolwich Ferry bids farewell to its 1960s vessels
The last trip on the Ernest Bevin, the penultimate ferry to be taken out of service
The vessels that have run the Woolwich Ferry for the past 55 years made their last trips on Friday night before the service closed for a three-month refurbishment.
The three ships, the John Burns, the Ernest Bevin and the James Newman, have plied the route between Woolwich and North Woolwich since 1963.
But they have now made their last journeys ahead of being taken to a recycling yard Le Havre, northern France. The ferry will be closed until the new year when two new ships will take over.
The John Burns had already been taken out of service the previous week. It had been due to leave for France last Tuesday, but is currently due to be taken away at 9am on Sunday morning. (The Port of London Authority website has the latest times.)
About 50 foot passengers made a nostalgic final trip when the James Newman left North Woolwich pier at the stroke of eight o'clock – with one woman driving an Audi surprised to discover she was the last motorist to use the old ferry boats.
But the commemorations began half an hour beforehand, when the Ernest Bevin left Woolwich for its final trip north with a blast of Frank Sinatra's My Way.
It arrived at North Woolwich with the same track playing, too.
After the Ernest Bevin departed out of service for its berth by Mast Pond Wharf, ferry fans were left waiting for the James Newman to start its last round trip.
Despite the historic occasion, there was no official representation from TfL nor the boroughs of Greenwich or Newham – many passers-by thought a Routemaster bus on board the Newman might have some kind of TfL delegation. In fact, it turned out to be a hen party.
Once the traffic was safely aboard the James Newman's final trip from North Woolwich, crew members allowed foot passengers onto the vehicle deck – a rare privilege.
The James Newman's engine room
Passengers also got to peek into the engine room and the one of the smoking cabins that have been locked for many years. The choice of Vera Lynn was apt – one of the new vessels is named after the East Ham-born wartime entertainer.
The last trip took a little longer than normal, as sirens sounded on the piers, the ship's horn sounded, and its captain demonstrated just why the James Newman had served east and south-east London so well for 55 years – by spinning it around in the Thames.
And finally, the James Newman pulled up at Woolwich for the last time.
Some images from the final journeys….
Sunday update: Thanks to Hugh Neal for sending this photo of the John Burns being towed past Erith at 10.45am today.
To check when the Ernest Bevin and James Newman will be taken to France, check the Port of London Authority website for updates.

Players can build their own ships, whether they prefer a simple rowboat or a grand galleon, and can sail the high seas to their heart's content, discovering new places and locations along the way. All known locations will be shown on the maps below.

Maps of Atlas
A full map of the Atlas world, showing all Islands and land masses and their navigational relationship to one another.
The Atlas world is unusual in that it features no large continental land masses, and is mostly comprised of water, scattered with hundreds of small and tiny islands. It is also absurdly huge - Grapeshot estimate that it would take roughly 30 hours to sail from one edge of the map to the other opposite side, if you sailed nonstop and without diversions or distractions. This enormous Map won't feel sparsely populated, though, as Atlas is able to host 40,000 players at once, on the same map, thanks to innovative server technology allowing what's promised to be a 'seamless handoff' from one piece of hardware to another as you navigate across the Map.
The map, though square, 'wraps' to allow players to keep travelling without interruption - sail out of the north-east of the map's representation of the ocean and you will find yourself sailing in at the south-west.
The map is split up into seven Biomes currently (with an estimated goal of 21 eventually). The Biomes are arranged around a loose concept of two poles and an equator, much like Earth, and you will find cold, polar-style regions towards the north and south of the Map, and tropical, sunny Biomes towards the middle of the Map.
Fog of War and Shroud of War
The above Map shows the Atlas Map in its entirety, while in-game the Fog of War will obscure any as yet unexplored areas, while the Shroud of War obscures enemy territories outside of sight range. The Sextant can be used to increase how much of the Map you can see around you.

At the local level, cessation of the projects would be likely to be strongly felt by those who used the services (for example, those using counselling or support services). Several stakeholders felt that a key strength of the NSPP was the opportunity it provided to trial innovative responses for emerging risk groups and did not want this opportunity to be lost. Notable exceptions are those projects with a strong capacity building focus that developed community links and networks. For these projects the NSPP funding was used as 'seed funding', with the expectation that once established, the networks would be sustainable.
From a national perspective, it is difficult to comment on the potential consequences of not continuing the NSPP funding. The stakeholders interviewed were unanimously of the view that the Australian Government needs to retain a strong commitment and vision in relation to suicide prevention (including funding for suicide prevention activities). However, they did not see that the NSPP in its current form was integral to this vision. Those interviewed also reiterated the view that, given the multiplicity of activities and initiatives that exist within the suicide prevention space (see Section 11.2) and the lack of outcome data for the individual programs, it is unlikely that the cessation of the NSPP in its current form would lead to a measurable increase in rates of suicide or self-harm.

Logit dynamics [Blume, Games and Economic Behavior, 1993] is a randomized best response dynamics for strategic games: at every time step a player is selected uniformly at random and she chooses a new strategy according to a probability distribution biased toward strategies promising higher payoffs. This process defines an ergodic Markov chain over the set of strategy profiles, whose unique stationary distribution we regard as the long-term equilibrium concept for the game.
We are interested in the stationary performance of the game (the expected social welfare when the profiles are random according to the stationary distribution) and in the time it takes to get close to the stationary distribution (mixing time). When the mixing time is large the stationary distribution loses its appeal as equilibrium concept and we look for "regularities'' at time-scales shorter than mixing time (metastability).
In this talk we give an overview of our recent results on stationary expected social welfare, mixing time, and metastability of logit dynamics for some classes of games.
We study the problem of designing mechanisms to allocate a heterogeneous set of divisible goods among a set of agents in a fair manner. We consider the well known solution concept of proportional fairness that has found applications in many real-world scenarios. Although finding a proportionally fair solution is computationally tractable, it cannot be implemented in a truthful manner. To overcome this, in this paper, we give mechanisms which are truthful and achieve proportional fairness in an approximate manner. We use a strong notion of approximation, requiring the mechanism to give each agent a good approximation of its proportionally fair utility. A motivating example is provided by the massive privatization auction in the Czech republic in the early 90s.
