Comment > Continuity Watch: Episodes 5716-5735
Soap operas are often infamous for forgetting important details or, with one sentence, completely changing the course of history, and Neighbours is no exception. But it's also capable of dropping in subtle references to past characters and storylines to give us a better idea of a character's motivations, or simply to bring back memories for long-term viewers. Our monthly column, Continuity Watch, looks at the continuity issues, both good and bad, episode by episode. We've also incorporated Lou Watch, our monthly look at the antics of the much underused Ramsay Street veteran Lou Carpenter, just so we can all be sure he's actually still around.
CONTINUITY WATCH
* As the Kennedys clear out some junk for the School Fete, Karl comes across their blue box of promiscuity, including the pom poms, referring to episode 5565, with subsequent mentions in 5606 & 5685.
* Susan is also shocked to see Karl is trying to sell things belonging to Rachel, Libby & herself - including the troll that Libby was holding on the eve of her wedding to Dan in episode 5637.
* Zeke has flashbacks to the events of Rafting Accident in 5605/5606 & being abducted by Phil Andrews.
* Zeke continues to have flashbacks to the events of Rafting Accident in 5605/5606 & being abducted by Phil Andrews.
* Flashbacks of Declan declaring his love for Bridget, her revealing that she's pregnat, their text commitment and Wedding.
* Karl talks Trisha Day through delivering Bridget's baby over the phone, much like he did with Joe Scully when delivering the baby of cab passenger, Tina Nguyen in 3670/3671.
* Reference to the events of Rafting Accident in 5605/5606 & Zeke's abduction by Phil Andrews.
* As Karl & Susan tell Zeke that Sunny moving to Sydney doesn't mean that he'll never see her again, he reminds them that he'd heard that before, referring to Taylah.
* Reference to Paul's four ex-wives and five weddings.
* Mentions of Anne Robinson, Jill Ramsay & Greg Michaels.
* References to Jill Ramsay and Bob the dog.
* Reference to Malcolm & Billy Kennedy & Rachel Kinski.
* Paul hires a home security specialist to check out the Kennedy house, presumably having the number from when he added security cameras & addition bolts to doors & windows in 2005 and again in early 2006.
* Mention of Jill Ramsay.
* Mentions of Jill Ramsay.
* During their keyboard session, Susan tells Harry that all she can play is Chopsticks, surprising given that she gave piano lessons upon her arrival in 1994. However, Susan has cunningly convinced people to open up in the past by telling little white lies, so perhaps this was another case.
* Reference to Ned Parker & Kirsten Gannon.
* Reference to Greg Michaels.
* Sunny tells her classmates of the events of the Winter Cool Festival & her getting lost.
* The chairman of the hospital board references Karl & Susan's past marital trouble, Libby sleeping with Taj and Holly Hoyland, who he mistakenly describes as the result of an extra-marital affair, although Karl was not married at the time she was conceived.
* Mention of Kirsten's injuries from the bushfire having recovered thanks to new treatment.
* Mentions of Riley Parker & Oliver Barnes.
* Reference to Stonefish Rebecchi as Toadie gives the teens a video of Erinsborough High's 1994 Debutante Ball as seen in episode 2184 and describes how the last dance of the night ended with a 'scrag fight.' It did indeed, as Cody Willis ended up fighting with Saskia 'Sassy' Patterson-Smythe and ripping her mum, Pam's wedding dress, which she was wearing to the ball. Lou mentions that he thought all evidence of that had been destroyed, perhaps a reference to Cody subsequently destroying the tape, evidently not the only copy it seems. Later whilst watching the video, Ringo thinks one of the people must be Toadie's brother. Given that Stonie was staying with Steph & Toadie for a fair while in 2007, he & Zeke probably should've recognised him.
* Mention of the Freedmans.
* Perhaps purposely, the episode shares many similarities with episode 5261 in which the Parkers arrived. They are on a road trip, as they were when we first met them. Whilst in 2007 the stopped to help a kangaroo, whom they named Pouch, this time they swerve to avoid hitting a horse. Other similarities include the singing of 'Green Bottles' which Steve takes over from Steph who led the song in 2007 and the epsiode ends in a crash, leaving a vehicle on it's side.
* Toadie mentions that Callum is visiting his relatives in Ballarat.
* Mention of Paul's six previous weddings.
* Paul threatens to charitable donations to the hospital as a way to get Susan another appointment for the surrogacy treatment, something which is becoming quite a regular occurrence whenever the Robinsons aren't getting their way at the hospital.
* Reference to Jill Ramsay.
* Declan mentions to Kate that he helped Rebecca with budgeting their money as it was just the two of them for quite a while.
LOU WATCH
* Lou gives Lucas his share of the baby name sweepstake and looks at photos of Bridget and Declan's newborn. Tells Harry to quieten down when he argues with Kate about Paul.
* Defends Susan at the store when a member of the public confronts her about the surrogacy. Tries to buy an electric drill at the school's fete.
* Chats to Harry about music. Tells Harry that Paul is 'evil incarnate' and cannot be trusted. Suggests reviving the Neighbourhood Watch following a break-in at the Kennedy house, and later, along with Lucas, catches Harry breaking in to number 28.
* Leaves Susan to deal with Harry. Comforts Mickey, who's upset about getting no attention now that the new baby has come along.
* Walks the dogs and plays cricket with Toadie, Callum and Harry.
* Lou is upset to learn that Mickey will be going to New York with Ned and Kirsten, then returning to live with them in Perth. He and Callum wonder how to get him to stay.
* Lou remarks that he thought the video of the 1994 deb ball had been destroyed. Admires some kind of motorbike part that Lucas is selling to help with his gambling debts.
* Reminds Didge that she had ice cream in the store the previous day, which is probably to blame for India's crying. Tells Kate that he's got all of his shifts covered while he's away in New York. Gets Harry to make a collage of all the Ramsay Street residents, to cheer Mickey up as he prepares to leave. Receives a bar of his favourite chocolate from Kate, as a thank you for helping her and her siblings to settle into Ramsay Street.

The Fort Wayne Museum of Art (FWMoA) is an American art museum located in downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana, Allen County, United States. The Fort Wayne Museum of Art contains permanent collections and national traveling exhibitions and is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums. FWMoA annually receives about 100,000 visitors.

History
The Fort Wayne Museum of Art was earliest conceived in 1888 when J. Ottis Adams, and later William Forsyth, began teaching informal art classes. By the year 1897, the Fort Wayne Museum of Art School was formally organized from the art classes that had been in session for the past nine years. The function of "museum" was integrated into the school when a collection of ten paintings was donated by Theodore Thieme in 1921. By 1949, the B. Paul Mossman Home at 1202 West Wayne Street in downtown Fort Wayne was donated to the museum, giving the museum an entire facility for the first time in its history to showcase exhibitions and collections. In 1977, the museum separated from the art school, the latter becoming the Department of Fine Arts at Indiana University – Purdue University Fort Wayne.

The Fort Wayne Museum of Art's current home is a structure that opened in 1984 at the intersection of Lafayette Street and Main Street in downtown Fort Wayne. Today, the museum, along with neighboring Arts United Center and Auer Center for Arts and Culture (opened in 2011), serve as the nucleus for downtown's burgeoning Cultural District. After the museum's move in 1984, the B. Paul Mossman Home was converted back to a private residence. In 1995, the homeowners returned the home back to hosting art as the Castle Gallery.

Facility

The current facility of the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, designed by architect Walter Netsch of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, encompasses  and includes three separate wings: Exhibition/Collection, Education/Administration, and the Auditorium, with an enclosed atrium linking the three wings in the center of the museum. It was announced in May 2008 that the museum would add  more exhibition space, a bistro, 18,000-volume library, expanded gift shop, and K–12 learning center, along with a complete refurbishment in a $7.5 million capital campaign, all of which was completed by spring 2010.

Events
Annually since 1999, the Fort Wayne Museum of Art has hosted Chalk Walk, as part of the festivities offered during the Three Rivers Festival. During the event, participants are given an assigned "square" on pavement surrounding the museum (either Main Street or the museum parking lot) in which they are to draw with pastels a creation of their own.

The Crusaders have a massive target on their back in 2019 as they seek a three-peat of Investec Super Rugby titles. There's no doubting that the other fourteen teams in the competition would have been plotting how to take down the red and black juggernaut over the off season. But that's the kind of pressure Scott Robertson's side thrives on as witnessed when they came back from 29-0 to beat the Waratahs in last year's regular season. Another Super Rugby crown this year would be the Crusaders 10th title and the second three-peat in their history after winning three straight titles in 1998, 1999 and 2000. The Crusaders open their campaign away from home against the Blues at Eden Park on Saturday 16 February.
Super Rugby is played between 15 teams split across three conferences (New Zealand, Australian and South African). Each team plays 16 regular season games that include eight matches within their own conference (home and away) and four matches against teams from other conferences. At the end of the regular season (16 rounds), eight teams will progress to the quarterfinals. The quarterfinal hosts are the three conference winners and the next best placed team on competition points regardless of conference. The final four quarterfinal spots go to the next four best teams based on competition points. From there it is a straight knockout all the way to the grand final. Find out more about the competition format HERE.
Click below for team previews and squad lists for each team (note: previews are correct as of date of publication).
The Crusaders are the most successful team in Super Rugby history with nine titles. The Blues and Bulls are second with three titles each. Check out a list of all winners since 1996 below.

No gluten? No problem: Matt Learmonth's 11-year-old daughter tucks into gelato in Italy
(Lauren Barack)
Gluten-free food in Italy: The land of pizza and pasta is remarkably clued up about catering for those with coeliac disease
When Michael Learmonth took his daughter, who suffers from coeliac disease, to Italy, he expected a challenge finding food she could eat. He needn't have worried...
Michael Learmonth
Monday 18 August 2014 11:21
Most people, when we said that we were taking a two-week family holiday in Italy, said we must be crazy. Our 11-year-old daughter was diagnosed with coeliac disease at age five, at which point we immediately rid our house and lives of gluten, a protein in wheat, rye and barley – and of course the pasta that seems to be the default offering on children's menus. We became one of "those" families, the ones that we used to call "food freaks," who read all the labels, bring our own food to birthday parties, and rarely eat at restaurants where we can't control practices in the kitchen.
So why of all places would we take our daughter to the land of pizza, pane, focaccia, spaghetti, fusilli, penne and farfalle?
Read more: How gluten-free became more than just a fad
Reason one: my wife has a long-standing love of the country, developed while travelling there after university, which she wanted to share with her tween daughter. Reason two: our daughter is learning about ancient cultures in school, and we thought that this trip – her first out of the country that she'd remember – would be an ideal way to show her the history of Venice, Florence and Rome.
There was actually a third reason to go, although we didn't know it at the time: Italy, it turns out, is one of the best places for people who, for health reasons, must eat gluten-free. The level of awareness among ordinary Italians, not to mention front-line restaurant workers and kitchen staff, was uncanny. At one point we found ourselves having a conversation with our host at a bed and breakfast in Orvieto about the inner workings of the digestive system.
Even better, we weren't once subjected to the kind of eye-rolls that we sometimes get at home, where going gluten-free became a fad diet for all kinds of misguided reasons and is now suffering a backlash as a result. Indeed, our hostess at a pizzeria in Venice was astonished to hear that anyone would adopt a gluten-free diet who didn't have a medical reason.
But since we knew none of this before going, my wife did a lot of research to find half-a-dozen restaurants in each city with gluten-free menus and confirmation in online reviews that coeliacs had had a good experience. Expecting to do a good bit of picnicking and in-room eating, we also packed six boxes of gluten-free crackers on which to layer pecorino and prosciutto.
We didn't need any of it. Our first night in Italy was in Venice, and as we set out along the Strada Nuova to find one of the restaurants that we'd researched, we found something amazing: a great many restaurants had items per celiaci right on the menu. Some were clearly using it as a marketing pitch. We stopped in at Il Ristorante A Beccafico Arte after having a brief conversation with the maitre d' outside.
Our daughter was nervous going into an unfamiliar restaurant – and for good reason. The last time that she inadvertently had gluten, the exposure provoked a violent bout of vomiting. But she needn't have worried. The owner came out, took care of us personally, and assured us he knew what he was doing. His 13-year-old son has coeliac disease, he said. We had versions of that experience throughout our trip. We'd set out to find some pre-determined locale only to discover something else, often better, along the way. One restaurant in Orvieto invited our daughter into the kitchen to show how it created a separate area to prepare their gluten-free menu items.
Gelato, which is naturally gluten-free, was of course on our itinerary. We'd read about the Grom chain of gelaterias and put them on our to-do list in every city we went to. Grom staffers were well-informed about which flavours were gluten-free and took precautions with cross-contamination.
Gluten-free pizza wasn't as hard to find as the family had feared (Lauren Barack)
(Matt Learmonth/IBT)
Grom now has two shops in New York and US director Giovanna Zaaruolo said that opening those stores has given her a sense of the knowledge gap on coeliac and gluten between Italy and the US. Italians tend to specify "coeliac", she said, while elsewhere people use the more generic "gluten-free".
"We know it's serious in Italy because of the number of people who ask if it's safe for coeliac," she said. "We have to ask here if you're coeliac or gluten-free, because we have different procedures for celiacs. It's very serious."
The language barrier wasn't an issue for us because Italians understood the nature of celiachia – that it's not an allergy or a fashionable diet – and how to prepare safe food.
Italian children are tested for coeliac as part of normal health screenings before the age of six, we learned. Those with coeliac disease receive a €140 monthly stipend to cover the additional cost of food, as well as extra holiday time.
The Associazione Italiana Celiachia publishes a restaurant guide and provides annual reports for the Italian Parliament.
Gluten-free food is considered medicine for coeliacs so, like painkillers or antibiotic ointment, it's stocked in pharmacies. Labelling is comprehensive; if it passes the European Union's strict standards, it's labelled senza glutine. Grocery stores tend to have sections for gluten-free, as well as extensive gluten-free pasta selections. Barilla in Italy, for example, packages gluten-free pasta with a green label to avoid confusion. For parents of a coeliac kid, it means less chance of facing that dreaded moment when you hear: "I'm hungry" and don't have anything safe to offer. We're decades behind on all this, which also amazed the Italians we spoke to.
"Ha, Italy is winning on something," said our Orvieto innkeeper (days after Italy crashed out of the World Cup). "You always think the US is about the future!"
With gluten-based food so much a part of their culture, Italians are understandably in the lead in dealing with the issue, but the rest of Europe isn't far behind. We met a family from Sweden in one Rome pizzeria who told us that the Swedish government sends gluten-free staples to families of coeliac children for a subsidised €12 a month until they are 18.
The US Food and Drug Administration has just adopted rules on gluten-free labelling. They don't go into effect until next year, but will at least give restaurants and food producers standards to adhere to.
The US response to coeliac is far behind because there is no screening, so no one really knows the true rate of incidence. There is a genetic component to the disease, so most estimates put it around 1 per cent of the population. That's slightly less than the percentage afflicted with peanut allergies, which averages about 1.4 per cent.
Schools and airlines have rightfully taken peanut allergies seriously; peanut allergies vary in severity but anaphylactic shock, a serious reaction, can be fatal. While physical reactions to gluten also vary in coeliacs, the damage can be serious – the body essentially attacks itself and increases the incidence of all kinds of ailments including lymphoma and liver cancer.
Short-term, a gluten reaction for a coeliac is enough to ruin a trip. It took a while, but our daughter began to relax. For two nights in Rome we gravitated to a little family-run place in Trastevere, Ristorante Mama. One night a group of six friends stopped in for dinner. One ordered senza glutine. The friends had apparently picked the place to accommodate the health of one woman in the group. That's when it started to make sense. The ceremony of sharing meals is so central to Italian life, the idea of leaving someone out is unthinkable.
Our daughter had learned that she could rely on Italian chefs and restaurants to protect her. But that night at Mama's, the pizza crust was so good that she sought a second opinion. "Papa, are you sure it's gluten-free?" And for once, I felt confident saying: "Yes."

Trinity Western Decision
The Supreme Court of Canada has rendered a decision that is an important victory for the promotion of equality, diversity and access to justice in Canada. On June 15, 2018, the Court released the landmark decision, finding that law societies were entitled to deny accreditation to a proposed law school that had discriminatory admissions requirements. The case garnered national attention as it seemingly involved a clash between freedom of religion and the right to equality, values which are central to Canada's democratic society.
Trinity Western University ("TRU"), a Christian university in British Columbia, submitted a proposal to open a law school that was based in the foundational religious beliefs of evangelical Christianity. Admission to the proposed law school would require that all students and faculty adhere to a community code of conduct, which contained a covenant that effectively denied admission to LGBTQ students. The covenant required TRU students to voluntarily abstain from a number of activities and explicitly prohibited "sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and woman."
The British Columbia and Ontario law societies voted against accreditation of the school because of the discriminatory nature of the covenant. The school sought judicial review of this decision, claiming that refusal to approve the law school on this basis violated its right to religious freedom under Section 2(a) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The majority of the Court found that the law societies' decision to deny accreditation was reasonable and constituted a proportionate balance between the limitation of religious freedoms under the Charter and the statutory objectives of the decision to refuse approval. The Court found that the infringement of religious rights was minor compared to the discrimination members of the LGBTQ community would face under the covenant.
The Court found that protection of public interest was a valid objective for law societies to consider when making decisions with respect to admission to the legal profession. The Court further accepted that by promoting equality, supporting diversity within the bar, and preventing harm to LGBTQ law students, the law societies were acting in furtherance of the public interest.
In addition to upholding human rights, this decision has broader implications for the promotion of access to justice. A major policy issue experienced by Canadians is the inaccessibility of the legal system. This problem is particularly pronounced among members of historically marginalized groups, including the LGBTQ community.
One explanation for the heightened barriers experienced by certain communities in accessing legal services is their lack of representation within the legal profession. Accordingly, there has been a call from policymakers and accessibility advocates to promote diversity within the bar to ensure that members of disadvantaged groups can assess legal representatives who can identify and respond to their unique needs.
Paul Schabas, treasurer of the Law Society of Ontario, acknowledged this important implication of the decision, stating, "Access to justice is facilitated where clients seeking legal services are able to access a legal profession that is reflective of a diverse population and responsive to diverse needs."
Ultimately, this decision of Canada's highest court recognizes that Law Societies, as self-regulating bodies of the legal profession, have an overarching obligation to promote equality and uphold human rights when making decisions involving admission to the profession. As gatekeepers to the legal system, these decision makers must be prepared to take active steps to remove inequitable barriers and ensure all persons have an equal opportunity to pursue a legal education.

The FlyLady's Cure for Messy House Syndrome
The FlyLady is here to rescue adults with ADHD from relentless clutter using teeny steps and the power of daily routines. Before you know it, you'll have cleaned up your life — one pile at a time.
By Marla Cilley
Woman with ADHD holds head in hands on couch in clutter-filled, unorganized room
Marla Cilley moved to Transylvania County, North Carolina, to teach fly-fishing in 1999. Now, instead of teaching the rod-and-reel set how to hook a shimmering trout, she is teaching countless thousands how to catch something every bit as satisfying: the neatness bug.
The FlyLady, as she calls herself, sends out e-mail tips — as many as 10 a day — to each of her 233,000 followers, instructing them to dust the ceiling fan with a pillowcase or to clear the breakfast dishes from their kitchen sinks. To Cilley, these tips are medicine for people suffering from chronic disorganization. "Don't act like the stubborn child that has clenched his jaw shut, refusing to swallow the cure that is going to make him well," she writes on her Web site, FlyLady.net. "What are you afraid of? A few e-mails in your inbox, or change?"
Go Clean Your Rooms
The FlyLady has succeeded where other organizational entrepreneurs have failed. Why? For one thing, she wraps her daily injunctions in homespun humor and musings about life. She also infuses doing the laundry or shining the kitchen sink with an element of fun. Cilley has coined her own quirky housekeeping vocabulary that instructs as it inspires.
Some of the FlyLady's classic exhortations include: "You are never behind. Jump in where you are," "Get in there and get this done," and "I want you to smile in the morning." She refers to her followers — most of them busy mothers — as SHEs, for "sidetracked home executives." And when someone signs up for her free daily e-mail service, he or she is dubbed a Flybaby, soon to grow up into a FlyLady.
Cilley gets away with giving marching orders to adults because she's a reformed clutterholic herself. "I wanted to change one little thing about my life," says Cilley, author of Sink Reflections . "I decided that it would be keeping my sink clean and shiny. And because I wanted to keep my sink clean, I unloaded my dishwasher so I could stash dirty dishes. With the sink clean, I wanted the counter to be clean." Adds Cilley: "I wasn't born organized, but I learned to be organized with the help of a routine. All of a sudden, you don't have to think about what to do because it becomes second nature."
[Get This Free Handout: Clean Up and Get Organized in One Weekend]
Routines and Baby Steps
It became second nature, as well, for Cilley's niece, Courtney Wood. She has ADHD, and found that her aunt's daily reminders functioned as clutter coaching. Wood was, at one point, so messy that she'd buy new clothes instead of trying to exhume her old ones from the piles in her room. Her car was cluttered to the point that no one else could sit in it. Depression set in.
"When you don't have your surroundings organized," says Wood, "it makes you feel like your whole life is disorganized. After using my aunt's techniques, I'm a happier person because my apartment is neater."
Wood's favorite technique? "Using a timer to do housework or other tasks a little at a time. I use timers because I have no concept of time."
The FlyLady's nostrums appeal to the ADHD mind. They provide structure, repetition, reward, and entertainment. The essence of her system is to divide big jobs into small ones. Take the house, for example. Cilley has carved it into five so-called Fly Zones: kitchen; living room; bathroom and one extra room; master bedroom; entrance, front porch and dining room.
Each week she will send you daily e-mail tips about how to neaten up one of these zones. She doesn't ask much of your time — just 15 minutes a day. Set a timer, follow her instructions, and, when the timer goes off, you're done. FlyLady calls these short investments "baby steps." The next day and for the rest of the week, you will receive more tips — and still clean for no more than 15 minutes a day. Next week the FlyLady will move you into another zone (room).
As you progress through the Fly Zones and witness the transforming power of "baby steps," FlyLady will introduce you to more cleaning concepts: Daily routines for morning and evening (see below), and timely decluttering raids on the messiest rooms of the house.

Tickling the Brain Cells
The e-mails are the most powerful part of the system," says Cilley. "The daily reminders use behavior modification to create routines. Eventually, merely reading them changes the way your brain reacts to them. Thinking is half the battle, because, with ADHD, we often forget to think. These e-mails tickle our brain cells."
While some of FlyLady's cleaning methods aren't new, the generous helpings of motivation are. Cilley recognizes the toll that messiness takes on a family and the role that encouragement plays in helping people dig out from their piles. FlyLady never forgets to congratulate her followers for the baby steps they have taken, and even reminds them to stop working and go to bed.
"We all know how to clean," says Cilley. "It's the motivation part — to get up and do it — that keeps us on our backsides." No reason to feel guilty about failing to be the perfect housekeeper, she says. "Housework, even done incorrectly, still blesses the family."
FlyLady Sampler
My foundations are baby steps and routines. It starts with our home — decluttering, then cooking, finances, weight issues, exercise, going back to school, starting a business, redecorating your home, having children, writing a book, but most of all finding who you really are and developing your God-given talents to bless the world.
Are you ready to FLY to a new level of understanding! As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "You don't have to see the top of the staircase to take the first step." There is no penalty for staying on a level too long. This is your staircase, not mine! Don't beat yourself up! This is not an obstacle course; this is your life!
-FlyLady
Rise and shine: Make the bed; shower and clean bathroom while you're there, swish the toilet; take a load of laundry when you leave your bedroom.
Kitchen: If you did the bedtime routine, it's clean. Empty the dishwasher, feed the pets, feed the family.
Think about your day: Check your calendar/to-do list, make a list of what you're going to do today; thaw something for dinner; balance your checkbook; put the wash into the dryer.
Now think about yourself: Take vitamins and medications, eat breakfast; meditate or reflect, count your blessings; go check your e-mail.
Before-Bed Routine
You don't have to wait until bedtime to check your before-bed routine.
Lay out your clothes for tomorrow. Have you taken your evening bubble bath?
Do you know where your laundry is?
Is your sink shining?
Look around and put out your Hot Spots!
Check your calendar for tomorrow's appointments.
Now go to bed at a decent hour.

An Easy Passage - Julia Copus
Julia Copus - An Easy Passage
"Once she is halfway up there, crouched in her bikini
on the porch roof of her family's house, trembling,
she knows that the one thing she must not do is to think
of the narrow windowsill, the sharp
drop of the stairwell; she must keep her mind
on the friend with whom she is half in love
and who is waiting for her on the blond
gravel somewhere beneath her, keep her mind
on her and on the fact of the open window,
the flimsy, hole-punched, aluminium lever
towards which in a moment she will reach
with the length of her whole body, leaning in
to the warm flank of the house. But first she
steadies herself, still crouching, the grains of the asphalt
hot beneath her toes and fingertips,
a square of petrified beach. Her tiny breasts
rest lightly on her thighs. – What can she know
of the way the world admits us less and less
the more we grow? For now both girls seem
lit, as if from within, their hair and the gold stud
earrings in the first one's ears; for now the long, grey
eye of the street, and far away from the mother
who does not trust her daughter with a key,
the workers about their business in the drab
electroplating factory over the road,
far too, most far, from the flush-faced secretary
who, with her head full of the evening class
she plans to take, or the trip of a lifetime, looks up now
from the stirring omens of the astrology column
at a girl – thirteen if she's a day – standing
in next to nothing in the driveway opposite,
one hand flat against her stomach, one
shielding her eyes to gaze up at a pale calf,
a silver anklet and the five neat shimmering
oyster-painted toenails of an outstretched foot
which catch the sunlight briefly like the
flash of armaments before
dropping gracefully into the shade of the house."
This poem is arguably my favourite of all time. Copus rightfully received the award for 'Best Single Poem' in 2010 for this coming of age poem which explores that fragility of childhood and femininity. The uplifting tone of this poem as well as its universality serve to make it one which I can read tirelessly.
The narrative voice of the poem provides a description of her younger self being "halfway up there, crouched", suggesting symbolically the uncomfortable and difficult nature of her "halfway" position between childhood and adulthood. The notion of uncertainty is further explored through her being "half in love" with her friend. Copus is exploring the awkward experiences of being a teenager and having a lack of definitive direction in your life. There is a shift in perspective in the poem, where the voice of Copus' older self penetrates the poem, commentating "What can she know of the way the world admits us less and less the more we grow", her reflective tone commenting on how harsh society can be towards young females.
The idea of youthful beauty and radiance is expressed through the semantic field of shining, bright objects. Cops uses the phrases "gold stud earring", "silver anklet", "shimmering oyster-painted" and "flash of armaments" to show the lively, reckless nature of her teenage years. Copus speaks from the perspective of a "flush-faced secretary"; touching on the idea of mediocrity and lack of satisfaction with her life. She uses the contrast of her electric and exciting life as a teenager against her stressful, busy life as an adult. The reference to her "tiny breasts" is an innocent comment about the natural beauty of her female body, which will be lost as she grows older and has a boring, repetitive job with an evening class as her only break from it all.
The reader gains a sense of empathy and support towards the subject of the poem, who has "neat shimmering oyster - painted toenails" which catch the sunlight like a "flash of armaments". The use of the weapon imagery suggests that beneath the "shimmering" exterior of the young girl, there is a steely resolve which will carry her through her life. The concern we feel for her is elicited through the description of the "flimsy, hole punched aluminium lever" as well as the "petrified beach". This suggests that if she does not take the leap from childhood in the right way, she could be in great danger. This could be a mockery of the idea that rigid societal constraints hold people back and make them feel unsuccessful if they have not got a "respected" career, when in fact if she did "fall" and not make the leap, she would still be on a "beach", which is not a terrible place to end up in. Hence, it could be assumed that Copus believes in the rejection of societal constraints and supports the idea of achieving personal success rather than success which is approved by others. In my interpretation of this poem, I view it as an uplifting and motivational piece about femininity in the 21st Century.

Q: How to search for a specific number in a string? I have a code that prompts the user to find a specific file on their computer. The files are named like this "Daily Operations Report - DAY MONTH YEAR".
I need to make sure that the file chosen has the same date as today. I know how to compare two dates and find if they are equal or not.
How do I find a number in a string?
'Previous code not relevant to the question

Dim strFilePath, fName As String
Dim wdDoc As Object

strFilePath = Application.GetOpenFilename
    If strFilePath = "False" Then End  'Pressed cancel

fName = strFilePath

Set wdDoc = GetObject(fName)

After executing the above code, I can find the name of the file in (wdDoc), for example:
 MsgBox wdDoc

I get:

Daily Operations Report - 21st December 2019

How can I compare the file to today's date? I believe comparing the number of days would be easier and faster than comparing days, months and years for the two dates.

A: There are many ways to do this, but here is one. It takes the filename and converts it to a date. What you do with that date for comparison is up to you.
Function GetDateFromFilename(sFilename As String) As Date
  Dim sFullDate As String
  Dim sDay As String
  Dim sNum As String
  Dim nDig As Integer: nDig = 1

  ' get rid of the extension just in case it exists
  sFilename = Split(sFilename, ".")(0)

  ' get just the date part for processing
  If Instr(sFilename, " - ") = 0 Then
    Msgbox "Filename not in proper format"
    GetDateFromFilename = CDate("1/1/1990")
    Exit Function
  End If
  sFullDate = Split(sFilename, " - ")(1)

  ' get the first digit of that
  sNum = Left$(sFullDate, nDig)

  ' loop thru the characters until there is an alpha character
  Do While nDig <= Len(sFullDate)
    If IsNumeric(sNum) Then
      sDay = sDay & sNum
    Else
      ' found the first alpha, so we are done here
      Exit Do
    End If
    ' check the next character
    nDig = nDig + 1
    sNum = Mid$(sFullDate, nDig, 1)
  Loop

  ' build a string that correctly resembles a date (month first)
  sFullDate = Split(sFullDate)(1) & " " & sDay & " " & Split(sFullDate)(2)

  ' or build a string that correctly resembles a date (day first)
  ' sFullDate = sDay & " " & Split(sFullDate)(1) & " " & Split(sFullDate)(2)

  ' convert it to an actual date and return it
  GetDateFromFilename = CDate(sFullDate)

End Function

Usage:
Dim dtFileDate As Date
dtFileDate = GetDateFromFilename("Daily Operations Report - 21st December 2019")
' show just the day number
MsgBox Format$(dtFileDate, "d")

Note: If your filename string is not in this exact format, there is a good chance it will error, but your question implies it will always be in that format.

I'm making material using shadergraph and I want to attach it on mu UI element. how is it possible?
No make a sprite in a paint program shader graph is 3d only. Out of curiosity, why do you want to do this?
Make a sprite for the different colors of bar and move the bar with your health. Then either mask the end of the bar that sticks out or hide it at the edge of the screen.
the goal, I want to achieve is something different. I've already made shader. all I have to do is attach it on UI element. or maybe can I make 'fake' UI image?
I don't use shader graph, but in general, there is no a lot of difference between shaders for UI and world objects.
If it's possible, take a look on built-in UI shaders and compare it with the shader that shader graph gives you.
Simple shaders should work both on UI elements and 3D objects. It it's not - find differences between your resulting shader and built-in one.
I havent used shadergraph so forgive my ignorance but I believe you can add a material to UI components, for example if you look at Image components you'll notice an object field named material. You set it there.
UI materials are handled a little differently then normal 3D materials and there are some special considerations.
An example of special considerations is how _MainTex is handled in shaders designed for the Text component, _MainTex is passed a texture by the Text component itself and it is an image of the relevant letter I think.
It will depend on the UI element you are using, sounds like this will be an Image component if it is a health bar.
You can make shaders for the UI, though mine only seem to work in editor and not play mode unless I set the canvas to use screen space-camera, otherwise its just black for me. FYI if you want to get the colour of the UI element add a vertex colour node.

Final Light: The Life and Art of V. Douglas Snow
By Ann Poore on September 5, 2013 • ( Leave a comment )
When Doug Snow discussed having a book written about his work while sitting around the dinner table with friends one chilly October evening in 2009 – just three days before his death in a one-car collision at the age of 82 — Frank McEntire says all eyes turned to him. Later, when Snow's wife Susan suggested that McEntire seemed the person to do it, he immediately helped organize two memorial services and raised funds for an art scholarship, exhibition and book. A remarkable two-museum retrospective of the artist's work was launched. It couldn't have been handled by a better curator, a better art critic, a better friend. Now, some two years since those dual shows at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts and the then-Salt Lake Art Center (now UMOCA), there is, finally, a singular book, part of the same project, a collection of six essays commissioned and edited by McEntire that were written mainly by Snow's friends and former students. Centered on a large and satisfying collection of brilliantly colored reproductions of paintings from the 1950s to the mid-2000s, Final Light: The Life and Art of V. Douglas Snow covers his childhood to his time at the University of Utah through his retirement years in his beloved Teasdale. It is arguably the most important and certainly the most anticipated art book to be published in Utah this year.
The most essential pages are, of course, the color images and these are largely excellent. McEntire reports that the well-known artist and University of Utah Professor Emeritus Tony Smith, "who knows Doug's work better than anyone," helped him with the color proofs. "We felt images on the final printed pages are as accurate as can be had, given many of the separations were made from slides taken by Doug." Snow (and McEntire) had a terrific eye; only a very few reproductions seem merely photographic (e.g. Stone Mountain, 1977, Light Walk, 1984); the rest have a marvelous depth and texture that you can actually feel if you run your hand across a page.
It's the perfect size for an art book, approximately 11″ x 10″, not too large to be unwieldy (it sits nicely on the lap) but large enough for images to reproduce satisfactorily and leave you wanting more than the 87 color photos it presents in its 192 pages.
I get up in the morning primed to do something important, something urgent. – V. Douglas Snow
In her brief, intelligent foreword Mary Francey writes that the essays on the man, the art and the land "not only clarify meanings in his work; they also establish a solid foundation for Doug Snow's legacy, which rests at least partly in his reassurance that landscape is a timeless, enduring presence that effectively keeps pace with contemporary trends." Perhaps with a nod toward controversy surrounding the piece in the Utah Supreme Court, which the justices insist be covered during sessions, she says: "The murals, especially, are not benign backdrops but thought-provoking inhabitants of the spaces they occupy."
In his introduction, McEntire tells us the original title of that mural, now called Capitol Reef, was "appropriately" Conflict and Resolution. "A thunderstorm caught Snow on one of his hikes in Capitol Reef National Park while he was thinking about what to paint for the mural. He saw the storm as 'conflict.' Afterward – when the sun came out and the moisture on the hot sandstone vaporized – he saw it as 'resolution.'"
Most of Snow's landscapes "draw their power" from the Cockscomb, says McEntire, "a huge, rugged serrated rock formation at the base of Wayne County's Boulder Mountain. This singular prominent feature in the sage- and juniper-covered terrain is continually shape-shifting, with seasonally endowed shafts of light, shadow, and mystery." Snow positioned his studio so he could see the formation: "'I could spend the rest of my life painting the Cockscomb,' he said. 'It would be my Mont Sainte Victoire,' a landmark that French impressionist Paul Cezanne repeatedly painted from his studio at the end of his life. . . .The Cockscomb motif is a key to understanding Snow's expressionist vision and is reflected in almost everything he painted – a nude, still life, ancient Italian ruins . . ."
We learn much about the artist's early life from McEntire, a fascinating exposition that tells us his mother was born not far from Capitol Reef but met and married a young soldier at the end of World War I, Vivian Douglas Snow, and moved to Salt Lake City with him. In the 1940s she would introduce her son and two daughters to southern Utah and they, Doug said, "flipped for the place." Forty years later he built his studio and a home for his own family there.
Snow attended the University of Utah, the American Artists School in New York and Columbia University, receiving his MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan. He studied in Italy as a Fulbright Scholar and would teach, mostly at the U of U, for nearly 40 years while he continued to paint.
He was one of those rare people who seem to belong wherever they happen to be. – Edward Lueders
Author Ed Lueders tells us he first knew Snow in the mid-1960s when he joined the Department of English at the U. As department chairmen, he and Snow negotiated the student and faculty demonstrations of the Vietnam War era, a period the artist found quite wearing. Lueders, too, later built a home in Torrey and shared a number of the artist's interests there: the Wednesday table-tennis group, the Thursday afternoon Wayne County Chess Club, the Torrey/Teasdale/Grover short-story-reading group on the first and third Tuesday evenings of each month. He says that Snow loved operatic tenors and Gustav Mahler and had been a "boy singer" with local big bands — he still knew all the pop tunes from the 1940s.
In the final analysis, all of us who come into contact with Doug's art are his students. – Teresa Jordan
In a delightful and telling essay, artist and author Teresa Jordan says: "Almost everyone who talks about Doug describes him as a romantic who loved beauty in all things — art, opera, language, design, and nature . . . He dressed with flair." She interviews noted artists who were once students of Snow and who recall revelatory things. "I probably wouldn't be an artist at all if it hadn't been for Doug," says Tony Smith, "but I don't think he ever taught me how to do anything." Earl Jones adds: "He didn't teach us to put paint on or how to glaze. He never systematically taught the art of painting. It was purely an emotional thing for him. He provided inspiration." And Dave Dornan recalls: "He never talked about one of his own paintings as if he really knew what it was about. He wondered about it right along with you."
That was evident when he was painting the mural in the Salt Lake City Library. Snow told filmmaker Claudia Sisemore for her 1977 documentary that a workman there asked him if he had submitted the low bid to get the job. He replied that he hadn't. "But they were suspicious until they saw that it was one hell of a lot of work, he said." Eventually, they began bringing their families in on weekends and explaining the mural to them, assuring them that it was getting better. "Well, it wasn't really getting better; it was just that they were getting used to it. They were beginning to experience it," Snow said.
"That's it . . . that's the one, Doug . . . that's . . . the one . . . I want." –Katie Lee
Environmentalist, folk artist and author Katie Lee offers an evocative essay about, among other things, how she came to possess a Doug Snow painting titled Final Light. (The artist was working on a different Final Light when he died.) It's a charming recollection about an honest, enviable decades-long friendship (with some behind-closed-doors insights into the artist) and a treatise on what really should motivate us to acquire a piece of art.
If Snow did not fully understand the implications of abstraction in the 1950s (and who did?) . . . he deduced one important thing: abstraction and realism were not inconsistent. This may seem an ideological commonplace now, but then it was not. – Will South
In "Seeing Snow," artist and author Will South, chief curator for the Columbia Museum of Art in South Carolina, brings us an invaluable and very readable art historian's perspective on the painter's work. He begins with artists Albert Bierstadt and Thomas Moran, in whose hands "the American West became like the East, only larger and vastly more dramatic," then takes us to Utah where "seeing nature as evidence of a perfect but inscrutable divine plan was well established . . . through the capable paintings of H.L.A. Culmer and J.T. Harwood, among others." The rise of tonalist and impressionist landscape painting gave us "the twentieth-century Utah artist who best represents a blend of romantic realism with a slightly impressionistic bent," and "who squeezed poetry out of visions of the most modest, poplar-lined Utah town" — LeConte Stewart, who would teach young Doug Snow at the University of Utah. South explains that Snow understood earlier landscape painting well but did not "begin and end a painting with literal transcriptions of what he saw." Influenced by abstract expressionism from very early in his career, Snow's work, South says, "is a visual and visceral self-examination as much as a record of geological processes . . . His approach, from the 1950s forward, was not to make pictures of things, but rather to make his art an extension of himself into a world of things."
Doug Snow's physical studio . . . to paraphrase Bachelard's words – sheltered his daydreaming. . . . allowed him to dream in peace. . . . But his sense of place, as potential, as religious, as surprising and mysterious and dangerous and a source of sudden beauty – was much larger. —David Kranes
Author and playwright David Kranes addresses the topic of place in the art of Doug Snow in a haunting and lyrical essay. Home, he says "only, finally becomes home if the blank sheet of paper bears words, if the empty stretch of canvas bears color, line, and shape." He reminds us of the work of Gaston Bachelard, whose The Poetics of Space "stands toe-to-toe with such questions" as "Where is the 'house' of our best imaginings, our most possible art?" But for him, Kranes says, "the power and mystery of space have always been true. I feel space on my skin." He tells us, interestingly, that Snow was both an actor, in his youth, and a playwright in his later years, and describes in detail the artist's two-act play, Blind Sight, set in New York City, Utah's Salt Flats and redrock country. And Kranes concludes that Snow, too, carried place on his skin. "You cannot hide; your art will find you. Place is weather and light; it's the music of time and the voices of ghosts."
For an artist who lived in and painted a desert landscape, the prevalence of storms in Snow's work may appear incongruous, but it is precisely the desert dweller who pays the most attention to the weather. –Shawn Rossiter
In his essay, "Drama of the Land," artist and arts magazine editor Shawn Rossiter writes familiarly and resonantly about "a landscape that must be lived to be believed" and tells us briefly how Snow brought the New York School of painting to Utah. In Snow's early works, he says, "a band of painterly activity strides across the center of the canvas or comes rising up from the bottom to fill the painting. These spangled passages sit atop or are wedged in by more open bands of color . . . frequently created by masking a heavily worked substrate" (something he suggests Snow may have picked up by looking at Jackson Pollock's She Wolf at the Museum of Modern Art).
While some bits of information in the essays overlap, it's a thoughtfully and lovingly edited book, well worth making room for on your lap and on your shelf.

1. Rome was not built in a day, and neither was the ideal body. Therefore, I will keep working out four to five days a week to be nicely toned for the summer of 2011. I've been working out four to five times a week using EA Sports Active which can really give an intense workout and Wii Fit Plus for the yoga components. I'm also using the "Perfect Sit-up" to continue tightening up those abs. Now that the weather is breaking, I'll be going for more walks and jogs outside.
2. My intellectual, spiritual and creative journey is essential for my well-being, and I will be sure to submit a blog entry at least once a week. Stop by when you can to check out my new entries. I am happy to report that I have surpassed my goal of publishing one entry per week. This is my 38th blog submission, and I am shooting for at least 100 entries by the end of the year.
3. I have many gifts, and writing poetry is one of them, so I will relentlessly assert myself to become synonymous with the spoken word and poetry slam circuit. Who knows, I may complete enough poems to publish a chapbook or have some choice entries in major publications. It's been a busy semester and a snowy winter, so I haven't been able to attend as many spoken word events as I would like, but I am steadily writing and will be a judge for the college's annual spoken word contest. Also, I have uploaded some of my spoken word performances on You Tube. You can find me under Anonomz.
4. People often say, "It's a small world," but many of us have yet to leave our own neighborhood, city, or state, let alone the country or continent for that matter. I plan to travel more extensively this year and hope to visit outside of the country…perhaps for a destination wedding. It is with great pleasure that I am able to say this goal will be met in August when I will be getting married in the Dominican Republic.
5. Everybody is busier than ever and cannot spare a moment for family and friends even though vast amounts of technology are supposed to help people get more done and have more time,. I will make a more conscious effort to reach out to family and friends and demonstrate my appreciation and love for them the" Old fashioned" way: the occasional phone call, letters, visits and tokens of my appreciation. Even though I have been making an effort to reach out to more family and friends, I may need to work harder. Sadly, my reaching out has not been reciprocated at the level I hoped it would have been by now. But I have to keep in mind that many people are busy with their own lives. My hope is that too much time doesn't go by before I am able to reconnect with family and friends who are near and dear to me.
6. I love writing and refuse to die with my many stories being left untold; as a result, I will begin working on and brainstorming about other literary ventures such as colorful stories and children's book ideas and see where it takes me…maybe to the best seller's list one day! As a result of taking and acting class and teaching Children's Literature this semester, so many wonderful ideas have entered my mind, and I've been discussing them with my writing buddy as well as my family and friends. I am hoping to be able to start the writing process when I get more free time in the summer.
7. Health is necessary for longevity. To continue improving my financial, physical and spiritual health, I will conduct research and keep working on the economical game plan, exercise regularly and meditate , and read and apply spiritual and motivational literature on a frequent basis. Maintaining one's health in all aspects can be quite an arduous task. It's so easy to lose focus, especially when daily life routines are overwhelming or seem to be never-ending. I have been, however, writing daily in my gratitude journal for my spiritual health, eating relatively healthy foods, being mindful of my spending habits by following a tight budget and just simply focusing on the positive instead of the negative.
8. "You should be an actor!" is what family, friends and even my students tell me. I used to act when I was younger and loved being on stage, so I will explore my theatrical abilities by taking a college level acting class in the spring 2011 semester staring January 10. It's going to be interesting potentially being in class with some of my own students, but it will be fun I'm sure. Signing up for an acting class was one of the best decisions I've made in a while. I'm learning so much and really enjoying every moment. So far, I've performed a monologue from "One Monkey Don't Stop No Show" and written a drama analysis on "The Cherry Orchard," and I received A's on both of them. I truly am looking forward to the remaining projects and am looking forward to possibly taking a future acting course.
9. As a person who has finicky eating habits, family and friends jokingly say, "A fancy restaurant for her is a place that serves pizza, chicken or turkey burgers." I enjoy fine dining and feel guilty that people are limited in their restaurant selections when going out with me. In an attempt to break out of this habit, I will try at least one new food item every other month…once a month if the mood strikes me. Trying new foods has been difficult for my, but it is with great pleasure that I report that I am on target with my goal of one new food every other month. So far, I've tried a pesto pasta which was not too far out of my comfort zone in January. Then I tried something that would be extreme for anyone, fried calamari; I must say, it was better than I expected. I actually had three in February. In March, I had some shrimp pasta, and it was not bad either. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to try one food a month instead of every other month!
10. Lastly, in recent years I've learned that I cannot be everything to everyone, but year after year I still try to make family, friends, students, and colleagues happy sometimes at my own expense: monetarily, physically and emotionally. To use an analogy, I love filling up their glasses of water, but I have to make sure my pitcher of water remains filled too in 2011. This one has been tougher than I expected because I love helping and doing for other people, but I've been getting much better at saying no or letting a person know what I am capable of doing so that I am not overwhelmed and able to be revitalized before being totally drained.
We're one-third of the way through in the new year. Are you still on track with the things you had planned for the new year? Please feel free to share.
Wow, Tanya! Congratulations! I was so impressed when you set these goals. And now I'm doubly impressed at your progress, especially since you're also planning a wedding 😀 Very inspiring!
Hello there! This post couldn't be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my previous room mate! He always kept chatting about this. I will forward this article to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read. Many thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for your support and for reading my post. My initial reason for writing such a post was not just for my own gratification but to hopefully inspire someone else who is considering staying on track with his or her goals or resolutions. All the best to you and your previous roommate!

Home News When Does The Rookie Season 4 Episode 2 Come Out? Episode 1 Recap
When Does The Rookie Season 4 Episode 2 Come Out? Episode 1 Recap
Sayed - Last Updated: September 28, 2021
The Rookie is an American crime-drama, action-packed thriller that follows John Nolan, a 40-year-old man from the LAPD who is pursuing a long-time dream of becoming a police officer after going through a life-altering incident. He has to face skepticism, both from his seniors as well as juniors, being the oldest 'rookie' in the police force.
Directed by John Lee Hancock and produced by Michele Greco, the show has got tons of viewership and success. It has an 8/10 rating on IMDb and fan reviews pour in lots of praise after every episode.
The first season came out in 2018, and there have been 2 more since then. The first episode 'Life and Death', of season 4 aired yesterday, Sunday, on the 26th of September 2021. The Rookie Season 4 Episode 2 won't be coming in September.
Before we review The Rookie season 4 episode 1, let's quickly give you a recap of season 3.
THE ROOKIE SEASON 3 RECAP
WHO'S BACK FOR SEASON 4?
THE ROOKIE SEASON 4 EPISODE 1- LIFE AND DEATH
The Rookie Season 3 had 14 episodes, each more happening than the last!
In season 3, John finally managed to clear his name but was still stuck with the tag of a 'rookie'.
We saw the introduction of Angela Lopez, a new detective, who also happens to be pregnant.
Chen opened up about her feelings to Bradford. (#Chenford is finally happening!!!)
With Sandra's son shot, she will be back with a vengeance.
The season ended with Angela's heartbreaking kidnapping a huge cliffhanger.

Before we move onto episode 1 season 4 of The Rookie, let's take a look at which cast members made it back for season 4 of this thriller-
Nathan Fillion as John Nolan
Mekia Cox as Nyla Harper
Eric Winter as Tim Bradford
Alyssa Diaz as Angela Lopez
Melissa O'Neil as Lucy Chen
Titus Makin as Jackson West
Richard Jones as Wade Grey
Camille Guaty as Sandra "La Fiera" (The Fierce One) De La Cruz.
Episode 1 was a rollercoaster! But it was definitely worth the ride. With excitement and tension at each turn, 'episode 1- Life and Death' made for a great season 4 premiere. Season 4 picked up exactly where season 3 left off- with Angela being kidnapped from her wedding!
The team got clues about her whereabouts and also found out who murdered Jackson West. But, La Fiera is a bitter lady who wants her revenge.
As La Fiera and Lopez are flying to Guatemala, the team were hunting everywhere for clues as to where she could be taking her. However, it will be slightly difficult to figure out she's being flown out of the country, and more importantly, where she's being taken.
Chen blames herself for not noticing the tripwire sooner.
We also got some more Chenford content that fans have been waiting for for 3 seasons! The chemistry and tension between them is so strong you can almost see it!
The DEA refused to help locate Lopez but irrespective of that, Wesley managed to get help from Elijah to locate his fiancee.
This called for a team meeting where they hatched up a plan to rescue Lopez.
All this and more happened in episode 1 which promises us a great season going forward!
The Rookie Season 4, episode 2- 'Five Minutes' airs on October 3rd, 2021, and episode 3- 'In The Line of Fire' airs on October 10th, 2021.

Tobacco farming relies heavily on manual labor. It remains relatively unchanged since pre-industrial times. For decades migrant workers from Jamaica have been coming to North America to work in U.S. fields and are an integral part of our community. However, most people are unaware of the fact that, only a few miles away, Jamaican migrant workers are toiling in the summer heat to maintain the U.S. Tobacco Industry in New England. Media coverage of migrant work tends to focus on the sensational - inhumane working conditions, poor housing, or other forms of exploitation.
The story we discovered is far more subtle. Told in their own words, it is a story of sacrifice and love of family; a story of back-breaking labor and dedication, coupled with bitter isolation and loneliness. In documenting the lives of these migrant workers, we hope to demystify their existence and to give the community at large a glimpse of their extraordinary lives.

Upcoming Films:
Oct 19 – Thirst (2004, 60 min)
Thirst is a moving 60-minute documentary by Alan Snitow and Deborah Kaufman on global resistance to water privatization, a trend sweeping the United States. Dramatic stories from Bolivia, India and California are bracketed by escalating conflict over privatization at a global water conference in Japan.
Thirst takes a piercing look at the conflict between public and private stewardship, and the claim that water is a human right versus a commodity. From riots in Bolivia to women's water mobilizations in India to extraordinary community organizing in the United States, THIRST shows that water is the catalyst for old conflicts and new coalitions. Scheduled for a national broadcast on the PBS series P.O.V., THIRST is a warning: multinational water companies are coming to your town as certainly as Wal-Mart.

Re: Buffalo Soldiers: LPC Radical Film 10/12
(No verified email address)	 13 Oct 2005
it was good. the producers were there too
by Chip
I really wish more people had shown up. I guess if it was called, "The Buffalo Soldiers Porn Collective" the place would have been packed.
Either way, it was a good film, and my only critique was that I wish they had been a little more liberal with the subtitles.


It was my husband's birthday recently and I made him a stupendous (if I do say so myself) keto cheesecake to celebrate. As I was putting it all together I realised that I wanted something to place on top, a thin, chocolatey biscuit.
THEY WERE THE BEST BISCUITS I'VE EVER MADE! Sorry about the shouting, but they really were. Did I write it down? Of course not! That would have been way too sensible of me.
It's taken me quite a few experimental batches to get these just right but I've captured the crispy on the outside, chewy in the centre, bitter with a rich chocolate taste, goodness of those biscuits.
My original batch were made with an Australian spice called Wattleseed. If you can get your hands on some, do try it. I wanted to make this recipe accessible to everyone, so I used instant coffee in its place. They have very similar flavour profiles.
Note: You can make your own sugar-free maple syrup.
Preheat oven to 190 °C/ 375 °F (conventional oven) or 170 °C/ 340 °F (fan-assisted oven). Place butter, Swerve, low-carb maple syrup and vanilla in a pan on the stove over medium heat and melt together.
Meanwhile, place all dry ingredients into a bowl and mix to break up any clumps. Line two large baking trays with ovenproof paper.
When melted, pour butter mixture into dry ingredients and mix well. The mixture will seem quite liquid at this point, but don't panic. Keep stirring for about 30 seconds and it firms up.
Using a teaspoon, drop small spoonful's onto your baking trays.
Leave some space between them as they spread quite a bit. Flatten the balls slightly using wet fingers. Bake for 8-12 minutes. Be careful not to burn them!
The biscuits will not crisp up until completely cold so remove from oven and let cool on the trays. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Just seeing comments about almond flour - I'm in Melbourne, Aus so if you could recommend which one you're using that'd be great! I usually buy the 'Lucky' brand or the supermarket brands from coles/woolworths... any of those?
The Lucky brand is great, as is the Woolworths Macro range.
These only come in quite small packages though and I use a LOT of almond flour, so I tend to buy mine in larger bags from the health food shop.
Mine had a burnt taste. Had to turn oven down. But still just crumbled. Not a good recipe. Waste of ingredients that cost a fortune.
I'm sorry to hear that. It's best to start checking after 8-10 minutes Chocolate treats can get bunt but you won't see it due to the darker colour.
Could this be modified to make the crust of a cheesecake? It sounds so yummy and I intend to try the biscuits but would love to use it as a crust for a strawberry chocolate cheesecake.
I believe you can do that (press into a cake tin and bake until crispy). Careful not to burn the base as the dark colour makes it harder to tell.
I so wanted these to be a success but despite three attempts I have to admit failure! I was really careful measuring out the ingredients - used a scale, all metric, but could not replicate anything resembling those pictured. My first mixture finally thickened up a bit, after 30 minutes, but ended up a completely joined up mass on the baking tray, despite big, big spaces! And just crumbled to pieces when cold, never got crisp enough to hold a shape. Attempt number two wasn't any more successful- this time I lowered the oven temperature by 20 degrees - recommended for a fan over - still just crumble. Third attempt I used butter instead of coconut oil, and added a couple of tablespoons of coconut flour, which made the mixture a tad stiffer, and returned to the specified oven temperature. These held a better shape, but were burning after 9 minutes, so I whipped them out, and into the bin! Such a disappointment, and a waste of good ingredients. I've never had a failure like this in 8 years of GF/LC cooking. Lovely flavour - just wondering how I might use a big bowl of crumbs . . . . any suggestions?!
I'm sorry to hear that Christiana :-( The only thing I can think of is that the almond flour you used is different - based on what you said, more almond flour should help. Not all products are the same, some contain less fat/moisture. If it burnt then I'd reduce the temperature to 150-165 C (300-330 F) and bake them for as 15-20 minutes (they will crips up once they cool so it's hard to tell exactly). I'll try to make these myself and share some tips. I hope this helps!
Mine flattened alright, but got all stuck to the parchement paper. I found this odd given ho much oil it is in the recipe. I peel the dough from the paper with a spoon and I will have it with my coffee all the same. The dough came too runny, next time I might try adding a bit of coconut flour.
I find it easier to use heavy-duty parchment paper that has aluminium foil layer on the other side. It never tears and nothing gets stuck to it. I hope this helps!
I tried these first time nd they turned out perfect but when I baked them yesterday they crumble apart.....could it be not enough butter?
Hmmm, was anything else different? Did you change almond meal brands or anything else?
Otherwise, yes, try adding a touch more butter.
I've tried these twice now....both times they ended up not spreading out at all. They are like little mini hockey pucks . The second time I made them very small and flattened quite a bit more, but they still didn't turn into flat, lacey biscuits...Anyone else have this issue?
I'm sorry that you're having difficulties.
Perhaps your almond flour is slightly different to mine?
The only suggestion that I have is that you could try increasing your butter content or decreasing your flour slightly? The mixture is quite wet, as you can see by the photos.
Good luck, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
