Mayor to send medical staff, coronavirus testing and supplies to the Island, but city won't say what it's sent borough hospitals to date

By Sydney Kashiwagi | skashiwagi@siadvance.com
NEW YORK, N.Y. -- Mayor Bill de Blasio has agreed to send the borough's two private hospitals more medical staff, coronavirus testing and supplies after he came under fire from the Island's political delegation for leaving Staten Island out of the city's coronavirus planning.
Borough President James Oddo, who recently slammed the mayor for punishing the Island for not having a public hospital, announced the mayor's latest commitment over the weekend
But Borough Hall said it is still waiting on getting specifics on de Blasio's commitment.
Asked about his recent commitment during a press conference with reporters Monday morning -- what exactly the city planned to send, when everything would arrive and what had taken the mayor so long to commit to sending more resources to the Island, de Blasio avoided going into details, only saying he's prioritized Staten Island just like the rest of the boroughs from the start.
He also shot back at the Advance for asking the question.
"Every time the borough president has said there's a certain supply needed, we've made sure the supply got where it was needed. Or we made sure that the state or [Federal Emergency Management Agency] or someone was getting the supplies where they were needed," de Blasio said. "The personnel situation we've been working on, that's been a hard situation for everyone because we're still trying to get more personnel. But no, I'm sorry, I'm just not accepting the way you're phrasing the question."
"Staten Island has been a priority with all the other boroughs to get constant supplies [Personal protective equipment] ventilators, whatever hospitals have needed," he continued. "And every time I've checked in on what's going on with the Staten Island hospitals, I keep getting the report back that they, like everyone else have been sent all of these basic supplies. What everyone is grappling with is, that it is not the standard any of us want to be living with, which is to go back to a kind of peacetime standard. We are in this crisis standard. No one loves living this way, but all hospitals are being supplied and served."
I just received the the most definitive commitment yet from @NYCMayor that @RUMCSI and @SIUHOSPITAL will get staffing help. This has to happen. He's also committed to testing and sufficient supplies help for our systems. Need deeds.

CITY HAS YET TO PRODUCE DETAILS OF WHAT IT'S GIVEN ISLAND DURING OUTBREAK TO DATE
The Advance asked City Hall, the Department of Health and the Health + Hospitals network last week to provide a breakdown of the medical supplies, staff and any additional funding it has provided to Richmond University Medical Center and Staten Island University Hospital since the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak in the city to date, but none of them have been able to produce a breakdown.
The mayor has said the city has sent a number of supplies to the Island's hospitals, however, the Health Department does not provide hospital-level data on supplies it has distributed.
RUMC told the Advance March 30 it received a shipment of N95 masks, gloves, face shields and surgical masks, but has been unable to say exactly how much of each it received. RUMC also said it has received no specific commitment from City Hall to date.
All of the supplies SIUH receives from the city go through Northwell Hospital's distribution hub first, which then decides where supplies are needed the most within its hospital system. SIUH has also been unable to say which supplies it has received from the city.
Borough Hall said progress around getting resources from the city to the Island "spiked since the f-bomb tweet and numerous behind the scene conversations."
After the Island's city and state political delegation called on City Hall to give the borough its fair share of medical personnel, Oddo took to twitter to vent his frustration with the city in an expletive-laced tweet about "fairness and equity."
I'm so fucking tired of hearing about fairness and equity and all the while seeing my borough treated as it has been by this Administration over the last three weeks. Chasing supplies, chasing communication about supplies...no medical staffing help. Fairest big city in country???
— Jimmy Oddo (@HeyNowJO) April 8, 2020
Borough Hall said the city's supply czar spoke to SIUH Friday to discuss its staffing needs, But SIUH could not be reached for comment at press time Monday to talk about what kind of commitment, if any, it received from the city.
Oddo also spoke to former NYPD Police Commissioner James O'Neill to talk about the equipment supply chain, his office said.
Staten Island recently did not receive a cut of the 291 military medical personnel the city deployed to its public hospitals. And the borough was also not included in the city's plan to add 3,000 more ICU beds by May 1 at public hospitals, equip them with more than 2,500 doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners and physicians and provide free COVID-19 testing for its staff at their request.
On Friday, the city's public Health + Hospitals network announced it had raised more than $8.2 million in donations for its healthcare workers to help them pay for meals, groceries, taxi rides, and more.
However, Health + Hospitals said those donations were only earmarked for healthcare workers within its network, therefore SIUH and RUMC healthcare workers would not receive a portion of those donations.
RUMC said last week it requested 60 registered nurses, eight respiratory technicians and four laboratory technicians from the city. SIUH has not provided the Advance with a breakdown of the additional staff it needs.

Beatles' Dashed-Off 'She Loves You' Was Actually Carefully Made
Nick DeRiso
Nick DeRiso Published: August 23, 2021
Swan Records
Legend tells us that the Beatles wrote "She Loves You" on June 26, 1963, at a U.K. inn, recorded it on July 1 and then issued the single on Aug. 23. But that's not exactly the way things went.
In fact, they took weeks constructing this song, and "She Loves You" didn't hit in the U.S. – finally detonating Beatlemania – until well after its stateside release on Sept. 16.
Paul McCartney and John Lennon fine tuned "She Loves You" during downtime between opening gigs for Roy Orbison in May and June 1963. McCartney wanted to do a call-and-response song, in the style of Bobby Rydell's then-current hit "Forget Him," but Lennon pushed him toward something more original.
At this point, they were already huge stars in their native U.K. and that had an isolating effect on their writing partnership as the Beatles were shielded from hoards of screeching fans. "She Loves You" was better for it.
Given time, they landed on a hook that became an early signature for the band: "Yeah, yeah, yeah." Lennon later downplayed the phrase, describing it in throwaway terms.
"There have been lots of 'oh yeah' and 'yeah' and 'uh-huhs' in rock 'n' roll," he says in David Sheff's All We Are Saying. "Lonnie Donegan always did it. He was a Britisher who had done a lot of American folk music, and I remember Elvis [Presley] did that in 'All Shook Up.' But I can't remember who we got the 'yeah, yeah, yeah' from for sure."
They'd all but finished the track by then. "We'd written the song, and we needed more," Lennon later mused, "so we had 'yeah, yeah, yeah,' and it caught on."
Listen to the Beatles' 'She Loves You'
McCartney's father, himself a working musician, was less than thrilled about their slang usage.
"We played it to my dad and he said, 'That's very nice, son, but there's enough of these Americanisms around. Couldn't you sing, "She loves you, yes! yes! yes!"' McCartney told Barry Miles in Many Years From Now. "At which point we collapsed in a heap and said, 'No, Dad, you don't quite get it!'"
By June, as Lennon and McCartney gathered at a Newcastle hotel, they were ready to put it all together as a finished composition.
"I suppose the most interesting thing about it was that it was a message song. It was someone bringing a message," McCartney says in Many Years From Now. "It wasn't us any more. It was moving off the 'I love you, girl' or 'love me do.' It was a third person, which was a shift away. 'I saw her, and she said to me, to tell you, that she loves you,' so there's a little distance we managed to put in it, which was quite interesting."
That's where the first legend – that the Beatles dashed off one of their most recognizable songs in a single furious writing session – was born. But "it was never," McCartney later argued, "an overnight success."
Not as a composition, and certainly not as a single.
The Beatles spent an impressive five hours recording "She Loves You" and its eventual B-side, "I'll Get You," at Abbey Road, less than a week after writing was completed. They'd continue pushing boundaries but with the same eye for careful detail.
Listen to the Beatles' 'I'll Get You'
Ringo Starr kicks things off with a surprising, characteristically disordered fill, almost as if the band started playing the song before recording started. Then they switch up things by belting out the single's key phrase ("she loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah"), rather than beginning with a verse.
Everyone was particularly proud of the song's ending, which was George Harrison's idea. Producer George Martin said the chord was previously unknown to the Beatles.
"I was sitting in my usual place on a high stool in Studio 2 when John and Paul first ran through the songs, George joining in on the choruses," Martin told Beatles historian Mark Lewisohn. "I thought it was great but was intrigued by the final chord, an odd sort of major sixth, with George doing the sixth and John and Paul the third and fifths – like a Glenn Miller arrangement. They were saying, 'It's a great chord! Nobody's ever heard it before!' Of course, I knew that wasn't quite true."
Martin had initially tried to persuade them to abandon the ending, apparently describing it as "too like the Andrew Sisters." The Beatles even tried a disappointing take or two without the chord, McCartney later remembered. "He would often give us parameters, like, 'You mustn't double a 3rd,' or 'It's corny to end with a 6th, and a 7th is even cornier,'" McCartney said in the Beatles' Anthology. "We'd say, 'We like it, man. It's bluesy.' It was good that we could override a lot of his so-called professional decisions with our innocence. If anyone now asks, 'What is the sign of a great songwriter?' I say, 'If the songs sound good.' So, we never listened to any rules."
In the end, what drove them to such recording heights may just have been old-fashioned desire – and not just for chart success.
Listen to a 1963 Live Performance of 'She Loves You'
Engineer Geoff Emerick said the day began with removing dozens of teenage fans who invaded the studios in hopes of catching a glimpse of the Beatles. One particularly aggressive young woman had to be tackled by roadie Mal Evans, then escorted out. Finally, local police were called as the "barbarians stormed the walls," Lennon subsequently joked.
"The huge crowd of girls that had gathered outside broke through the front door," Emerick wrote in Here, There and Everywhere. "Scores of hysterical, screaming girls [were] racing down the corridors, being chased by a handful of out-of-breath, beleaguered London bobbies."
Rather than being startled by the disruption, the Beatles seemed emboldened. "She Loves You" crackles with a nervy sexuality. "[The chaos] helped spark a new level of energy in the group's playing," Emerick added.
The single soared to the top of the U.K. charts after its August release there, remaining at No. 1 from September through December 1963. But Capitol – EMI's counterpart in the United States – refused to release it. Vee Jay, the small label that had previously issued "Please Please Me" and "From Me to You" to little notice – politely declined, as well.
Manager Brian Epstein finally convinced the Philadelphia-based Swan Records to take a chance on "She Loves You," but radio stations stayed away in droves. It took a bit of footage of the Beatles performing the song, leased by NBC's Jack Paar show that November from a recent BBC documentary called The Mersey Sound, to finally draw stateside notice. CBS also ran a news story.
The Beatles suddenly had a hit – but not with "She Loves You." Capitol Records rushed out "I Want to Hold Your Hand" to store shelves and it went to No. 1 in January 1964, sparking the so-called British Invasion of the American charts. Record buyers finally found "She Loves You," and the single spent four weeks at No. 2 behind "I Want to Hold You Hand," before finally replacing it atop the charts. By then it was March 1964.

Processing power in computer chips has grown exponentially and looks set to continue to do so. Machine vision engineers are beginning to tap into this abundance of computing power with embedded systems, whereby a digital signal processor (DSP) or a graphics processing unit (GPU) does some of the image processing onboard.
Recently, BitFlow released a software extension for its frame grabbers for Nvidia's GPUDirect for Video technology, and Andor Technology has introduced its GPU Express software library to aid accelerated GPU image processing.
The trend for building embedded vision systems was seen to a certain extent at the Vision show in Stuttgart at the end of last year, with companies like Vision Components launching systems incorporating FPGAs for onboard processing. FPGA provider Xilinx exhibited for the first time at the show, displaying its Zynq platform which is ideal for vision applications.
Tsagaris gave a presentation on embedded vision at the EMVA business conference in June, and Jochem Herrmann, in his update on vision standards during the conference, noted that the Future Standards Forum was setting up a study group looking at whether current machine vision standards can meet the needs of embedded vision.
So can all image processing be embedded? Tsagaris said not all, but that a lot of algorithms could be. 'Deciding what you want to put on an FPGA and what to put on a GPU or a DSP is hard, and that's where the magic of embedded vision engineers comes into play,' he said.
Irida's product portfolio includes modules for video enhancement, video stabilisation, face recognition, and single frame super resolution. The company is working on the embedded vision aspects of a project called Whiter, a collaborative programme to design a robotic cell for solar cell fabrication, as well as the Borealis project for building a machine for making complex 3D metal parts.
Tsagaris commented that one of the drivers for using embedded vision is to reduce the time-to-market of a vision system. By employing some basic functions onboard the vision chip, the system can be built and implemented much faster. 'The customers want a complete solution, a system that delivers not just images but usable information and data right away,' he said.
He also noted that there are now system on chips (SoCs) specifically for embedded vision; Movidius offers its Vision Processing Unit (VPU) only for vision, which is used for tasks like people detection and object recognition. Application specific processors by Cadence and Synopsys are also available; Freescale offers an automotive vision processor. These are 'companies that have not traditionally been in the vision market, but they see a trend in providing DSPs specifically for vision,' Tsagaris said.
'There is a convergence in the vision market between companies coming from hardware and camera markets and consumer electronics markets,' he said, two areas that weren't necessarily linked at all in the past. Now, vision subsystems are in demand, which incorporate a camera and lens, as well as embedded algorithms.


Thought i would put up a little guide for newbies.
I personally start by completing around 15 flat seasons and exporting 6 horses in the jumps game. These horses need to have either good or average jumping (found on training screen) and a preference for softer ground (good is acceptable). The league follows real life ground condtitions so most races are on softer ground.
These are horses that have not run over hurdles or fences before in the league and you have to select whether the horse is a novice or not when you upload the horse.

'Catch Me If You Can' on Netflix: Bask In Leonardo DiCaprio At His Most Effortlessly Charming
Here's When 'The Kitchen' Is Coming to Video on Demand
By Brett White Twitter @brettwhite Oct 22, 2019 at 1:00pm

Comic books aren't all superheroes, you know. Comics have long told stories in multiple genres, and never is that more evident than with The Kitchen. The crime film about a trio of mob wives who pick up the slack for their husbands in the deadly and dangerous Hell's Kitchen of the 1970s started life as a comic book series published by DC Comics mature-readers imprint Vertigo. Written by Ollie Masters with art by Ming Doyle, The Kitchen is about as far removed from Superman as you can get.
The film, written and directed by Andrea Berloff (Straight Outta Compton), features a killer lineup of talent. Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish, and Elisabeth Moss star as the wives of mobsters played by Brian d'Arcy James, James Badge Dale, and Jeremy Bobb. If you missed The Kitchen when it was in theaters this summer, you'll want to check it out now that it's available to watch within shouting distance of your own kitchen. But when will it be released digitally or on Blu-ray? And will The Kitchen ever be available on Netflix? We've got answers!
When will The Kitchen be released digitally?
The Kitchen will be available to purchase digitally on Tuesday, October 22–so it's available now! You can purchase The Kitchen at full price on iTunes, Prime Video, FandangoNow, Google Play, Vudu, and wherever you like to buy digital releases. Also make sure you take into account that a digital code will come with the Blu-ray and DVD release when they come on November 5.
When will The Kitchen be available to rent digitally?
If you just want to rent The Kitchen instead of adding it to your digital library permanently, you will be able to rent it at a fraction of the purchase price beginning on November 5.
When will The Kitchen Blu-ray be released?
If you like owning movies physically, you'll be able to put The Kitchen in your living room entertainment enter when it's released on Blu-ray on November 5. The Blu-ray release also comes with a digital download code.
When is The Kitchen coming to DVD?
The Kitchen will also be available for purchase on DVD on November 5. The DVD copy will come with a digital download code, as well.
What special features will be included?
The Blu-ray release will come with two featurettes ("Running Hell's Kitchen," "Taking Over the Neighborhood") and one deleted scene. The DVD version will come with the "Running Hell's Kitchen" featurette.
When will The Kitchen be available on Netflix?
Unfortunately, it's unlikely that The Kitchen will stream on Netflix anytime soon as Warner Bros. doesn't have a deal in place with the streaming service.
When will The Kitchen be available on HBO?
It's very likely that The Kitchen will make its way to HBO, though, as WB movies tend to end up as the Saturday night HBO movie around 8 months after they open in theaters. With that in mind, it's possible that The Kitchen will arrive on HBO around April 2020.

Kazakh central bank intervenes in FX market to stabilize tenge 17 сентября 2015, 15:43
The National Bank of Kazakhstan has made exchange rate interventions to stabilize the tenge.

The National Bank of Kazakhstan has made exchange rate interventions to stabilize the tenge, Tengrinews reports citing the press office of the bank.
Kazakhstan's central bank floated the tenge on August 20. Before that it kept the exchange rate in a fixed band with a ceiling of 188 tenge per 1 dollar. After the band was abandoned the tenge plunged to its record low losing more than 50% of its value in a matter of days.
Initially the national bank announced that the tenge would be in free float and it would not not make any interventions. However, since August 20 volatility of the Kazakh currency was very strong raising a lot of concerns among the country's financial experts and creating uncertainty in the society. On September 16 the exchange rate reached 300 tenge per 1 dollar and the National Bank officially changed its mind.
A massive intervention totally worth $144 million was made at the Kazakhstan Exchange Market (KASE) on September 16.
After that the National Bank released a statement reminding that Kazakh tenge currency exchange depended on both domestic and external macroeconomic factors, and that the National Bank would not be intervening in the tenge exchange rate or molding it accounting to some predesigned fashion on a regular basis. However, it reserved the right to intervene in the domestic currency market when stability of the country's financial system was threatened.
"Amid the increased volatility of the currency exchange rate driven by speculations of the market players and with no substantial changes in the fundamental macroeconomic factors in place to substantiate the volatility, the National Bank has decided to made interventions on September 16, 2015 to stabilize the situation at the domestic foreign exchange market. On September 16, 2015 the volume of currency interventions of the National Bank amounted to $144 million," the National Bank said.
On September 17, after the intervention was made the exchange rate returned to 283.98 tenge according to Kazkommertsbank.
The so-called "tenge free fall" triggered a shockwave in various sectors. Local state officials insisted on retaining the former prices for food while the government promised to reimburse the lost money on tenge deposits and raise salaries for public sector employees in the beginning of January. Despite the promises of stable financial situation, petrol prices in Kazakhstan did not hold for very long after the devaluation of tenge. In the beginning of September Kazakhstan officially announced that it stopped regulating the prices for AI 92/93 petrol, the most commonly used brand of fuel, which lead to a price spike of more then 10% in the oil producing country.

US forces rescue American kidnapped in Niger
Posted on October 31, 2020 Author Enock Akonnor	Comment(0)
United States' citizen who was kidnapped in Niger this past week has been rescued in a US military operation in neighboring Nigeria, according to US officials.
Philipe Nathan Walton was abducted from his farm in Massalata village in southern Niger early on Tuesday morning by armed men who requested ransom from the man's father.
The United States Department of Defense confirmed the military operation on Saturday, disclosing that it took place in northern Nigeria.
"This American citizen is safe and is now in the care of the US Department of State. No US military personnel were injured during the operation," the department announcement in a statement.
President Donald Trump said in a tweet it was a "big win for our very elite US Special Forces today" and details would come later.
United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo declared in an official statement: "Thanks to the extraordinary courage and capabilities of our military, the support of our intelligence professionals, and our diplomatic efforts, the hostage will be reunited with his family."
Walton, who kept camels, sheep and poultry and grew mangos near the border with Nigeria, was abducted by six men who armed with AK-47 assault rifles who arrived on motorcycles at his home.
His wife, young daughter and brother were all left behind.

Google Appeals Against Competition Body's Android Unfair Practices Order
Google is optimistic that the NCLAT will take full account of the evidence on record.(File)
Google has approached the appellate tribunal NCLAT (National Company Law Appellate Tribunal) challenging the CCI's (Competition Commission of India)order on unfair business practices in Android mobile device ecosystem, the company spokesperson said today.
The Competition Commission in October slapped a steep penalty of Rs 1,337.76 crore on internet giant Google for abusing its dominant position in multiple markets in relation to Android mobile devices and ordered the internet major to cease and desist from various unfair business practices.
A Google spokesperson told PTI: "We have decided to appeal the CCI's decision on Android as we believe it presents a major setback for our Indian users and businesses who trust Android's security features, and potentially raising the cost of mobile devices." "We look forward to making our case in NCLAT and remain committed to users and partners," the spokesperson added.
Android has greatly benefitted Indian users, developers, and OEMs, and powered India's digital transformation, the company said.
Google has sought a stay, sources said, adding that the company believes that CCI failed to appreciate strong evidence on record from OEMs, developers, and users demonstrating that the open Android business model supports competition for the benefit of all stakeholders, including in India specifically.
Google is optimistic that the NCLAT will take full account of the evidence on record and the tremendous contribution that Android has made to the massive growth and prosperity of the mobile ecosystem in India, sources said.
Sources asserted that Android had created more choices for everyone, and supports thousands of successful businesses in India and around the world.
The CCI decision exposes Indian users to unprecedented security risks, and will make Android devices in India more expensive, less functional and less safe than they are today, sources claimed.

Monk – The Complete First Season
Posted in: Disc Reviews by Gino Sassani on June 20th, 2004
Released Tuesday, June 15, 2004
Dolby Digital 2.0 (English)
Dolby Digital 2.0 (French)
It is nearly impossible to escape the common comparisons between Monk and Columbo. But don't get this show expecting it to be at all like the well-loved bumbling detective played for decades by Peter Falk. The two characters are nothing alike. The comparisons are made because we haven't had a detective show since Columbo where the quirks and personality of the character himself were more important than the cases he solved.
Tony Shalhoub's Adrian Monk suffers from a long list of phobias from germs to drink…ng milk. He also suffers from O.C.D. (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). This means that Monk can't stand disorder of any kind. This, of course, doesn't help when you consider how few "neat" crime scenes there are. The series uses different writers to bring out the comedy and the mystery elements of the show. Shalhoub is what really makes everything fly. Expect that the show does go way over the top. But it's all in good fun. On of the big surprises here is Ted Levine as the police captain. Levine, of course, is best known as the killer from Silence of the Lambs.
Adrian Monk was a top San Francisco detective when his wife was killed. This turns out to be the one case he can't solve. The event triggered a mental breakdown. Now Monk is afraid of almost everything. He also suffers from O.C.D. (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder).
Monk is presented with a pretty good Dolby Digital 2.0 audio track. There really isn't much call for an aggressive mix here; Dialogue is usually all that matters, and this mix delivers it solidly.
Each episode of Monk features an impressive 16 x 9 wide screen presentation. This was a pleasant surprise because the USA broadcasts were done in typical full screen. It is nice to see that the show is being filmed with the HDTV audience in mind. Colors are pretty dead on, although there is considerable grain evident on dark scenes. You will also encounter some shimmering and digital artifacts. Unfortunately we should probably get used to this; with just 3 or 4 episodes per disc, Monk does better than most. The trend is to cut down the bit rate and squeeze more episodes on a disc.
I was pretty disappointed in the bonus features. A commentary with Shalhoub would seem to be mandatory here. Perhaps in future seasons. The group of features present don't add up to more than 30 minutes of material.
"Mr. Monk and his Origins" is obviously a short talk about how the show came to be. The most interesting fact here is that Michael Richards from "Seinfeld" was originally considered for the title role.
"Mr. Monk and his O.C.D." talks about the disorders the character suffers from.
"Mr. Monk and his Fellow Sufferers" Cast and crew discuss some of their own quirks.
"Mr. Monk and his Emmy Award Winning Performance" This is a Tony Shalhoub love-fest.
"Mr. Monk and his Partners in Crime" is a 5 minute look at the supporting cast.
Monk is not really a mystery show. The Charlie Chan reveals are usually less a surprise than formula. Make no mistake about it… Monk is a character study to the extreme. Shalhoub can say more with a silent stare than most actors delivering Shakespeare. What compels us to watch isn't seeing Monk get his man. We watch to see Shalhoub entertain us with his circus act. "I could be wrong … but I'm not".

The Davoser sledge is a legend. Master carpenter Paul Ardüser has successfully brought it back through crowdfunding.
Fresh wood shavings smell fantastic. Paul Ardüser would certainly agree. After all, the Davos-based carpenter has been enjoying the smell of fresh wood for more than 20 years, working in the carpentry he took over from his father, who had once taken it over from his father. Paul's latest project: the production of the traditional Davos sledge in its hometown of Davos – which he initiated with the help of his crowdfunding project.
Paul Ardüser is sitting at his desk in a small office right next to the workshop where he keeps tweaking and refining his "new" version of the famous Davos sledge together with his team. In between some documents, a keyboard and a coffee mug on the desk are two miniature versions of the sledge, tempting us to touch them, hold them and study every single part. Paul Ardüser is excited to start producing the traditional sledge again in its native Davos – by hand, of course. The idea was born after he had been asked to build a Davos sledge six times the size of the original for the town's 150th anniversary of winter tourism ("150 Jahre Wintertourismus Davos"). The huge sledge turned out to be a big success, and Paul Ardüser thought: "Why not start building Davos sledges ourselves?" Over the past decades, the famous sledge has been produced everywhere in the world, except Davos, its place of origin. For Paul Ardüser it was about time to bring it back home. In cooperation with the Davos Tourism Office, he realised his idea via a successful crowdfunding campaign.
When the campaign was completed after 100 days, they had raised 39,670 francs – enough money to build more than 50 sledges. Paul Ardüser and his team have been supported by friends and the media. First the regional press wrote about the project, then the big newspapers, and when he was finally invited to the Swiss news programme "Tagesschau" on a Sunday night, Paul Ardüser knew his idea of bringing back the Davos sledge must have really hit a nerve. This positive response was a big motivation for the whole team: "My employees are very enthusiastic – some of them stay here until late to build stencils and test runners, because we really want this sledge to be perfect," Paul Ardüser proudly tells us. After all, those "Friday-afternoon" projects we work on when our regular work is done, are often those closest to our hearts.
Paul Ardüser's family business has been producing hand-made wood products for almost 100 years. They also design, build and repair custom-made furniture, and they "reuse" old furniture to create something new, because a lot of people don't want to throw away their old pieces. Paul Ardüser tries to make something new out of something old, preserving the soul of the old – a symbolic act of criticism of today's throw-away society. What fascinates him most about his work: "Wood is a living, creative material. There is hardly anything you can't make out of wood," he says. Paul Ardüser was born in Davos, just like his favourite sledge. As a child he did sledge races with his two siblings, he tells us. And sometimes, he took his sledge to pick up his "sweetheart" at the time from school. "Even when I was a boy the sledge was our most traditional toy. It has always been close to my heart," he says with a smile.
The Davos sledge is more than just a piece of wood people used to go down some slopes in winter. It represents tradition, childhood memories and, maybe, even our first love. It symbolises the rising return to craftsmanship and traditional, local industries and it is an antithesis of our fast-paced society and soulless mass production. At the end of the day, this sledge is a Davos native, just like Paul Ardüser.

Serving in our powerlessness
Published: 14th March 2022
St Andrew's Church in Moscow - ten minutes from the Kremlin - has a special place in the heart of the Diocese of Lichfield. A delegation, led by the Bishop of Lichfield, the Rt Revd Dr Michael Ipgrave, visited St Andrew's on a pilgrimage to Russia in 2019.
Below is a message from the Chaplain of St Andrew's, the Revd Canon Malcolm Rogers, who is pictured below (front right) with the group from Lichfield. Bishop Michael quoted Malcom's message in his Presidential Address to diocesan synod on Saturday, and urged people to continue to pray for the people of Ukraine and Russia.
St Andrew's Anglican Church in Moscow is situated only ten minutes walk from the Kremlin, the physical and geographical centre of power. The Ministries of Education, Culture and Defence are near neighbours. We are in the centre of power and yet we are powerless.
Today, as many of our dear friends have left Russia, and as we nervously wonder whether or when we should leave, we are even more conscious of our powerlessness.
Conflict was predicted and we were helpless, unable to do anything to prevent it. Now that 'special military operations', as they are called here, have begun, there is nothing that we can do to stop them.
But it is precisely our powerlessness which means that there are things that we can do. We are gospel people, who serve a crucified but risen Lord. We are the 'nobodies' of 1 Corinthians 1, and it is our very powerlessness and insignificance and foolishness that can also be our strength, if it is handed to God.
First of all, we are simply here. We are a community of very messed up people, but as we gather together to hear the Word of God and to receive bread and wine, a community of Russians and foreigners gathered together, centred on and receiving from Jesus Christ, our simple presence can be a witness of what the world can be like, of the future kingdom.
Secondly, in our powerlessness, we can worship and pray. We pray for peace. That is far more than just praying for the absence of war. We praise God for the coming Kingdom, for the hope he has given us. I am struck that in both Mary's song and Zechariah's song we praise God for what we hope will happen, as if it already has happened; and we cry out for God, as we pray and long for the coming of God's Kingdom. We pray for the time when there will be no more 'fake news', lies, betrayals or violence, and no more fear and death. And it is our very powerlessness which opens to us our dependence on God and on him doing wonderful works.
Thirdly, we can still speak truth. There are some things that we cannot say in Moscow, but we can still preach Jesus Christ crucified and risen and reigning. We can call people to repentance and offer people hope. In my 30 plus years of ministry, I have never known a time and a place when people are more hungering for God.
And fourthly we can love and serve our neighbour. We read the news and feel powerless. Most of us are in no position to solve world problems or to bring peace. The job advert when I applied to come to Moscow said that the person appointed could make a difference for world peace. On those grounds I have been a spectacular failure! But we can make a difference where we are, and love the actual physical neighbours who God has given us. For some, the neighbours are Ukrainian refugees.
Yesterday, I heard from the woman who I ran our college Christian Union with. Since leaving university, she has been working with Polish Christians, witnessing, and serving mainly among addicts and street women. She wrote of how her team met a family of homeless Ukrainian refugees and they are now living in her flat. There are many stories like that. Our neighbours at St Andrew's in Moscow are different. They are the young Russian crushed by what has been done in his name; the mother sick with anxiety for her son who has been sent to Ukraine, the foreign student unsure whether to leave or how to leave, the person who has been named on the wrong sort of list, the older person who fears a return to the isolation and economic depression of the 80s.
In our hubris we think that we are somebodies who can save the world - and we end up paralysed. But it is when we realise our powerlessness, that in the world's eyes we are 'nobodies', that we can begin to see the neighbour who God has given us and learn to serve them.
Pray for us, for courage and wisdom and perseverance in faith and love. And we will pray for you.

A Tale As Old As Time: the original 'Beauty and the Beast'
Jan 17, 2018 Stefan Andrews
Literature geeks know that the early version of Beauty and the Beast was penned by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve. The French author had it published in 1740, and her story had everything: elaborate subplots that allow in-depth analysis of characters; magical items such as a ring capable of transporting the protagonist to a certain place; characters such as those of the jealous sisters; as well as some societal themes, that the narrative hints at how women had their marriages arranged in the past.
While fairy tales such as Beauty and the Beast can be traced back to as many as 4,000 years ago–the BBC reported in 2016 on research done by scholars at Durham and Lisbon universities that confirm such claims–it was Madame de Villeneuve's version that triggered others to adapt, rework, retell and help Beauty and Beast become two of the world's most beloved protagonists today.
The latest film version of the story, starring Emma Watson and Dan Stevens, a box office success of 2017, is just the latest of numerous adaptations. We thought you might find it amusing to know how the original storyline went…
In the 1740 narration of the story, Beauty has five siblings, three brothers and two sisters, and all of them are children of a wealthy widowed merchant. Beauty is the youngest of all six. As it is in later adaptations of the story, her character is attractive. She is the humble one, pure at heart, beautiful and well-read. Her sisters are also beautiful, but they are wicked, spoiled and would do anything to just mistreat and hurt Beauty.
Things take a turn for the worse among the family when the father loses all wealth. His fleet of trade vessels is lost to a storm and the family lives in poverty for the next several years. However, one day, hopes are up as word arrives that there is still one ship from the lost fleet that survived. Its cargo has been saved too. The father, confident that he will regain some money, prepares to go and acquire the cargo.
An illustration showing Beauty having dinner with the Beast. Work by Anne Anderson
When he checks with his sons and daughters whether they want anything as a gift, only Beauty remains modest. She doesn't want any fine or expensive things like her sisters and brothers. All she wants is a rose, a flower said to grow elsewhere but not where they live.
The joy that at least one ship has returned would evaporate all too soon, however. The cargo gets seized as the family is buried with debts. On the way back home, the father, disappointed and virtually penniless, gets caught in a storm. He manages to find refuge in a strange place, a palace where the host does not present himself, yet where he is provided help and hospitality.
As the father leaves the property the following day, he notices a dazzling rose garden in the yard, and he takes one flower for his youngest daughter. Which is when the ghastly owner of the property appears: the Beast, angry because the guest he accommodated so well the previous night now broke the code of hospitality. Namely, the unfortunate father had picked the most alluring rose of all, at the same time the most-treasured commodity found at the Beast's property.
What happens next is that the father needs to be punished, but he obtains his freedoms as he arranges one of the daughters to go and live with the Beast. It is Beauty who gets chosen to live with the Beast until the end of times. For some critics, it is this specific episode that speaks volumes about how women were prepared for arranged marriage back then.
Another illustration depicting one of the most important moments of the tale (Warwick Goble, 1913)
Beauty indeed goes to the palace. There, she is treated more or less like a princess. While it is a story with a presumably happy ending, there are a few obstacles until the reader gets there. In the beginning, at the end of each day, the Beast continually proposes marriage, to which the young lady remains persistent with her negative answer. However, each night, Beauty also dreams of the prince charming, the love of her life. Little does she realize, there is a prince already very close to her.
Simultaneously, the Beast is also faced with challenges on his own. Presumably, he is yet to learn how to truly express his emotions and desires, if he wants to grow into the person worth Beauty's love. He is also referred to as "bête" in the story, a French word that carries the meaning of "beast," as well as "being unintelligent."
In a culmination of the story, one day Beauty negotiates with the Beast to visit her father and siblings. The Beast approves the idea only if she is to return to the palace on a certain day, and that she takes two enchanted items. The first is a mirror that can instantly show what is happening at the palace at any moment. The second, the ring, which, quite symbolically, has the power to instantly transfer Beauty back to the Beast.
Painting of Petrus Gonsalvus (c. 1580) that, as some accounts suggest, had inspired the portrayal of the Beast in a 1946 Jean Cocteau's film adaptation of the story.
In probably the most famous recounting of the story, in Disney's animated 1991 version, the negative character is someone like Gaston, arrogant and nowhere near close to Beauty's charisma. But the weight of being negative in Madame De Villeneuve's narrative falls on the elder sisters. They have only sinister intentions toward Beauty, so they persuade her to stay home for a longer time than initially agreed with the Beast.
Already on the first day of her extended stay, Beauty is to nearly regret her decision. As she takes the mirror to check what is going on at the palace, the sight of Beast's almost lifeless body, lying in the garden very close to where Beauty's father had initially picked a rose, prompts the young lady to use the ring. It is in this moment of reunion that Beast finally regains his human identity, "the prince of dreams," and as you already know, the pair indeed lived happily ever after.
Later versions of Beauty and the Beast were usually shortened, and some became way more popular than Madame De Villeneuve's original. Such is the case with Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont, whose write up of the tale was out by 1756 and gained far greater momentum than that of de Villeneuve.
Portrait of Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont
For instance, de Beaumont's version shows a different angle of how Beauty becomes the daughter of a merchant. Initially, she is born to a monarch and a fairy, and she suffers because she is the child of a forbidden relationship. The main male protagonist, a young prince, is again the victim of dark magic. He is turned into a beast, and he is to regain his human shape only once he marries somebody who knows nothing of his past and real human nature.
Read another story from us: Belle's hometown in "Beauty and the Beast" is based on the French Medieval village named Conques
Unfairly, Madame de Beaumont does not give any credit to Madame De Villeneuve as the first writer of the story. As it turned out, her abridged version was more poular, which consequently led to plenty more adoptions that were produced from the 18th century onward.

SBC: The MARRIOTT Allegations – No Smoke . . .
Nigel December 5, 2016 Scarborough Borough Council
an "In My View" article by NIGEL WARD, reporting on 'the elephant in the Council Chamber' – the allegations made by former SBC employee Ben MARRIOTT.
There has been much speculation as to the exact nature of the allegations made by former SBC employee Ben MARRIOTT.
Widely known is the fact that Ben MARRIOTT has made a number of assertions regarding actions which he describes as 'fraud' and 'corruption' centred on the department in which he worked for many years.
Indeed, this much is made explicit in Judge Humphrey FORREST's Judgment (reproduced here).
The following extracts from the Judgment give a graphic picture of the general nature of those actions:
Early in 2013, information began to be passed to me from independent sources within the Council – that is to say, not Ben MARRIOTT. The information (reminiscent of proven allegations against Graham STUART MP [Con.] and Councillor Charles BAYRAM [Con.] in the East Riding) included several of the elements referred to by Judge FORREST in his Judgment, including:
Managers, Officers and Councillors having work done on their private properties, either free of charge at a much reduced price or in exchange for lucrative Council contracts or the promise thereof;
This work was alleged to include:
(i) re-surfacing of driveways;
(ii) building, re-building, re-roofing of garages, car-ports and sheds;
(ii) ground floor and first floor building extensions (conservatory/kitchen/bedroom, etc)
(iv) installation of kitchen and bathroom hardware, including tiling;
(v) installation of a hot-tub in the garden of a former Officer (no longer with the Council)
Managers and staff purloining, or buying at extremely discounted prices, equipment and assets the property of the Council.
In any objective view, these allegations, made not by me, remember, but by independent observers within the workplace, correlate extremely closely with the Ben MARRIOTT allegations, as synopsised in Judge FORREST's Judgment.
The Council concedes that these allegations were known to Head of Human Resources Mr Roger KAYE (no longer with the Council) and claims to have investigated and 'found nothing untoward'. However, the Council can produce no records of any such investigation.
In the following excerpt (items 48 and 49), Judge FORREST takes care to constrain himself to the form of words "does tend to show" that Council employees used their positions for private gain and "also tends to show" that criminal offences had taken place.
Nevertheless, Judge FORREST concludes by stating, in agreement with Mr MARRIOTT, that "Mr Marriott had reasonable grounds for his belief".
The information passed to me in early 2013 presented me with a problem; it was hearsay. Because I was unable to provide evidential proof to a standard that would meet the requirements of a prosecution, I reported (in an article dated 5th August 2013) on the information passed to me by substituting aliases for the protagonists who had been named to me, thereby representing the whole as a work of fiction. I did so both in the public interest and in the hope that the Council would recognise that a scandal might yet be forestalled.
The Council did not react.
So on 15th September 2013, I emailed Mrs Lisa DIXON, Director of Legal & Democratic Services and Monitoring Officer at SBC, including the following offer:
"Please note that I am eminently willing to co-operate with you in exposing this fraud-ring so that the perpetrators may be brought to justice and the continuing abuse of the public purse be brought to a halt."
Mrs DIXON did not accept my offer.
Ben MARRIOTT's allegations were virtually identical to those expressed to me by independent sources (also employed by SBC) nearly four years ago;
Judge FORREST has confirmed that there is no record of SBC having investigated these allegations;
Judge FORREST, having described the Council's actions as a "Whitewash", has confirmed that there were reasonable grounds for Ben MARRIOTT's conclusion that crimes had been committed;
Mrs DIXON declined to receive detailed information from me provided by the other sources;
Both Mrs Lisa DIXON (Director of Legal) and Mr Nick EDWARDS (Director of Finance) have declined to explain the provenance of work performed on their own properties;
Moreover, both of these Officers (along with Mr Jim DILLON and MR Trevor WATSON have (but only when pressed) published Registers of Interests omitting the all-important data concerning their property holdings within the Borough;
SBC Leader, Councillor Derek BASTIMAN [Con.], after first insisting on an 'in house' investigation, reluctantly commissioned MAZARS – an audit firm, with limited investigatory powers. For example, they will be unable to examine the properties or paperwork of those under suspicion and have no access whatsoever to those who are no longer employed by (or elected to) Scarborough Borough Council.
At every turn, SBC has evaded its duty to root out individuals who, by all appearances, have broken the law to their own advantage and at the expense of the public purse. That is corruption.
Why has SBC evaded its duty?
To protect a few artisans at the bottom end of the Council's food-chain?
Or to protect a few superannuated cowboys at the top of the food-chain?
In my view, and on the balance of probabilities, the latter is infinitely more likely.
In my view, the public interest will be best served by a diligent and thoroughgoing investigation by an impartial body with adequate powers of investigation – the Police (ideally, a Police Force geographically remote from the Scarborough area).
So I would ask the Leaders of the Opposition parties – Councillor Dilys CLUER for the Greens, Councillor Sam CROSS for Ukip, Councillor Steve SIDDONS for Labour and, for good measure, Independent Councillor Janet JEFFERSON:
"When are you going to call the Police?"
There have been many precedents for prosecutions relating to Council personnel subverting Council manpower and materials. Please review the following document.

Argentina 2-0 Mexico: Lionel Messi's stunning goal
Match report as Lionel Messi's stunning goal helps Argentina claim a 2-0 win over Mexico to keep their World Cup dream alive; substitute Enzo Fernandez added a late second as Lionel Scaloni's side moved up to second in Group C
Lionel Messi celebrates after scoring Argentina's opening goal
Lionel Messi's superb long-range strike helped revive Argentina's flagging World Cup hopes as they claimed a crucial 2-0 win over Mexico at the Lusail Stadium.
Argentina came into the game knowing defeat would mean elimination after their shock 2-1 loss to Saudi Arabia and they laboured again until Messi's 65th-minute intervention.
The 35-year-old, playing at what is expected to be his last World Cup, picked up Angel Di Maria's pass outside the box and arrowed a precise shot into the bottom corner to break the deadlock in a scrappy and ill-tempered encounter.
Messi then turned provider as Argentina made the game safe three minutes from time, his pass finding substitute Enzo Fernandez who cut inside and curled a sumptuous finish past Guillermo Ochoa.
The victory looked unlikely at times during a game disrupted by constant fouls and featuring little in the way of quality, but it takes Argentina up to second in Group C, a point behind Poland, who they face in their final game as they bid to clinch their place in the last 16.
How Argentina emerged victorious
Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni had sought to shake things up following the Saudi Arabia defeat, making five changes to his team, with Manchester United's Lisandro Martinez and Brighton's Alexis Mac Allister among those included.
But there was no sign of improvement in a dire first half, with Messi unable to influence proceedings and Lautaro Martinez cutting an isolated figure ahead of him as Argentina, flat and disjointed, picked up where they left off in Tuesday's game.
Mexico looked more threatening in the first period, but, like Argentina, they struggled to produce any real moments of quality, with an Alexis Vega free-kick, comfortably saved by Emi Martinez, the only effort on target from either side before the interval.
There was more of the same after the break despite the crackling atmosphere inside the ground, with a wayward Messi free kick seemingly summing up his evening as he struggled to spark.
It all changed, though, when he finally found himself in a pocket of space around 25 yards from goal, taking a touch to control Di Maria's pass before rifling an unstoppable shot into the far corner.
The goal sparked wild celebrations among Argentina's players and fans and there was another outpouring of relief when substitute Fernandez ran onto Messi's pass following a corner and dispatched a sublime finish from the left-hand side of the box.
Mexico offered little in response, registering only four shots over the course of the game, leaving Argentina to celebrate a victory that maintains their hopes of qualifying for the last 16.

We are living in an era where the size and scope of government continues to grow, an era where the dire prophecies and admonitions of many of those who embrace the twin pillars of individual rights and limited government are coming true, where George Orwell's warnings, dismissed by many, are proving to be frighteningly prescient, where his "pigs" and "sheep" have become the overlords of our lives.
This is a blog founded on the political philosophy known as libertarianism. Here you will find discussions on many of the major public policy topics and issues of today, scrutinized through the lens of liberty and judged under the presumption of the primacy of the individual. Matters are considered from both a principled and a practical perspective, with the latter rooted in the former and viewed as the means by which liberty is advanced. You will also find discussions about liberty's role in our daily lives, and about the myriad ways that government infringes our liberties.
Expect to find many opinions here. You'll probably find some reasonable and some outlandish. You will likely agree with some and disagree with others. In the latter cases, before you simply decide to call me names, take a moment and process the ideas. If you still find them wanting, I'd love to hear the hows and whys. I hope for informed discussion, and try to embrace the spirit of Harlan Ellison's opinion on opinions:
"Everybody has opinions: I have them, you have them. And we are all told from the moment we open our eyes, that everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. Well, that's horsepuckey, of course. We are not entitled to our opinions; we are entitled to our informed opinions. Without research, without background, without understanding, it's nothing. It's just bibble-babble. It's like a fart in a wind tunnel, folks."
Lastly, forgiveness is golden, especially when it comes to the nuts and bolts, spelling, punctuation, oxford commas, and expired links, so…
If many faultes in this [blog] you fynde,
Yet think not the correctors blynde;
If Argos heere hymselfe had beene,
He should perchance not all have seene.

I am a twice-retired rocket engineer/restauranteur. I spent a decade in aerospace, where, in addition to working on the engineering teams for navy aircraft and Strategic Defense Initiative projects, I was the lead mission analyst for the US Air Force's Space Nuclear Thermal Propulsion program. Armed with both that engineering experience and an MBA in management, I then spent twenty years as owner/operator of the El Greco Diner, the largest diner/restaurant in Brooklyn, NY. I retired out of the restaurant business in 2014, and I now spend my days in the suburbs of New York City, blogging and arguing politics while an old hound dog snores by my feet.
I have been arguing and advocating libertarianism for the past two decades. I've been a long-time advocate for economic liberty and a staunch defender of gun rights. I've been and continue to be a vocal critic of the War on Drugs, of America's militaristic foreign policy, of the metastasizing expansion of the regulatory state, and of big government in general. I believe in the primacy of the individual, that each of us owns himself and the fruits of his labor. It is in this axiom that we find all the fundamentals and lessons of liberty, and it is liberty that betters all our lives.
For those who care about fine-tuning labels, I consider myself a cross between a minarchist and a classical liberal/paleoconservative. That said, I also believe that a society that spent a century marching away from liberty will need more than a year or two to march toward real liberty. How we get there is as important as the destination itself.

Brittany Cartwright Wants To Lose 30 More Pounds Of Postpartum Weight So She Can 'Get Back To Feeling Like My Best Self'
Brittany Cartwright is determined to hit her body goals this year!
The Vanderpump Rules star, 32, kicked off 2022 by becoming a Jenny Craig spokesman, so she'll stick to the program to help her drop 30 pounds after welcoming her and Jax Taylor's son, Cruz, in April.
"Being at my healthiest and having energy throughout the day is so important to me," she noted. "Especially now as a new mom."
The reality star explained that for her, shaping up isn't about fitting into a pair of jeans. Instead, "I want to be the best version of myself for my son," she explained to PEOPLE.
Source: @brittany/Instagram
Cartwright admitted that "postpartum weight loss has been a struggle," and though she believes in herself, the negative comments on social media "are still hurtful."
"I'd like to get back to feeling like my best self all around, including both mental and physical health," she said. "I remind myself that every single body is powerful and beautiful, and that I'm particularly proud of mine. It gave me Cruz! And then I go and cuddle my son."
Now that she's the newest face of Jenny Craig, she's determined to also help other women stay positive amid their weight loss journey.
"Move at your own pace and choose to do what feels right for you and your body," suggested the Bravo star. "It can be so easy to compare ourselves to others. But anytime I find myself getting too in my head about this, I take a step back and remind myself that every person's body is so different and uniquely beautiful."
"As moms who have given birth, we've done something incredible and made a whole person inside of our bodies. It's normal that they don't look the same afterward," noted the Kentucky native. "Whether you want to lose weight post-baby or you don't, remind yourself that you are powerful and that your body is yours and yours alone."
The mom-of-one was an open book after welcoming Cruz, who's now 8 months, as she wasn't prepared for the postpartum experience.
"It's the happiest time of your life, but nobody talks about what your body goes through," she shared. "It is very hard on your body and I didn't realize how sore I was going to be or how long I was going to have to wear those ugly diapers and pads."
After about five weeks, Cartwright began feeling better, so she told her followers, "Hang in there, new mamas! You got this!"

Brain edema is a serious neurologic complication of any brain insult. Common causes of brain edema are trauma, tumors, stroke and infections. Increased intracranial tension associated with brain edema can lead to disturbed conscious levels and fatal brainstem herniation.
Brain herniation is a potentially fatal condition that may present as a rise in intracranial pressure. The following text describes the various clinical signs to recognize this condition and the possible measures one can take to treat it.


The apparent scrubbing job comes after speculation over whether she earned an undergraduate degree, as previously claimed.
Digitally speaking, all we have to go on is that an internet archive of Trump's homepage shows that it was taken down in the last week. According to that archive on Wednesday afternoon, this was what remained of www.melaniatrump.com.
UPDATE, July 28: Melania Trump addressed the disappearance of her website in a tweet on Thursday.
"The website in question was created in 2012 and has been removed because it does not accurately reflect my current business and professional interests," the tweet reads.


We lost Aretha Franklin yesterday; that powerful, amazing, iconic Queen of Soul. Who can ever forget listening to her sing "R-E-S-P-E-C-T" and "Natural Woman" and so many other songs? She was born to sing and inspire, and people of all generations will mourn her passing.
When we lose someone who has inspired millions, who has sung her heart out over the years, who has been the music in our lives; we feel that loss keenly. Anyone who has listened to this fabulous woman's voice has been touched by her strength and passion. For me, she was the voice who commanded our attention even when the British Invasion turned rock and roll on its ear.
Her voice was part of the fabric of my life. I can remember where I was when I danced to her music. Every so often, an amazing person comes along that touches so many lives in so many ways. Aretha Franklin was that amazing person with a voice and passion that swept you up.
While we mourn the loss of this beautiful singer's voice, it cannot be stilled. She surely is with the angels now, singing as only she can, far above pain and sorrow, sickness and earthly death.
We loved you, Aretha; we will always love you.

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Launch - Videogame Trailer
Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a 2020 action-adventure game developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. Based on the Marvel Comics superhero Miles Morales, it is the second game in the Marvel's Spider-Man series, following Marvel's Spider-Man (2018). The game was announced at the PlayStation 5 reveal event in June 2020 and was released for the PlayStation 4 and as a launch title for the PlayStation 5 on November 12, 2020. The game will be released in Europe later in November. It received generally favorable reviews from critics.
The narrative continues from where Marvel's Spider-Man and its downloadable content The City that Never Sleeps left off, during which Miles Morales was bitten by a genetically-enhanced spider and gained powers similar to Peter Parker's. A year after the first game's conclusion, Morales has trained under Parker and has fully integrated himself into the role of a Spider-Man, though he has yet to gain the experience. After Parker leaves to join his girlfriend, Daily Bugle reporter Mary Jane Watson, abroad as her photographer to cover the ongoing civil war in Symkaria, Miles is left as New York's sole webslinger. Now, he must balance supporting his mother Rio Morales' campaign for City Council and defending both his new home in Harlem and the rest of New York City from a gang war between the Roxxon Energy Corporation and a high-tech criminal army called the Underground, led by the Tinkerer. Before he leaves, Parker tells Morales that he has to be like his late father and walk on the path to becoming a hero for the city of New York.
The game looks awesome. Check out the launch trailer. Will you be playing ?
