As a part of a project for school I was required to make a timeline. I figured that it would be a good idea to make this timeline about the dates in which several of American Literature's most famous novels were published. One thing I noticed in this project was that I never realized exactly how new some of these books still are, especially when compared with famous stories like that of Shakespeare or the Classical Epics, like the Aeneid. I mean. Huck Finn was barely written over a hundred years ago, and The Good Earth was only written in the midst of the Depression. It's very interesting to see how far American Literature has evolved in so short a time as in 150 years.
My Significant Other suggested this book to me while we were discussing the subject of "practical love" with a friend of ours. I mentioned how odd it is when in many cases people's' grandparents often didn't marry for love, but because a person could give them the best chance of survivability in the real world. This is in contrast to today's world where people can truly marry out of love rather than survivability. To simplify, let's explore the following situation: You have two people in your life you can marry. The first candidate is rather beautiful and you're truly in love with them. The catch is that the person is rather unskilled so while you'll be married to the person you love they may not be able to adequately provide for you and your future children. The second choice is someone you may not be fully in love with, but they can provide for you and you're future family. Who would you chose?
The Good Earth tells the story of a young Chinese peasant, Wang Lung and his arranged wife, a former slave from a great house named O-Lan. It goes on to describe their life together as their fortunes go up and down from destitute poverty and famine to extreme luxury. Throughout the story various aspects of Chinese Culture Pre-World War Two is described in beautiful detail.
Wang Lung is the main hero of the story and his character is a testament to an almost Ayn Randian vision of hard work and success. Throughout the story he is constantly striving to better the fortunes of himself and his family through perseverance and hard work. At some points famine and hardship severely hamper his fortunes, but again through perseverance he overcomes these hardships to become a wonderfully rich man. Despite all this at times he loses focus on his family which later comes back to hurt him.
O-Lan is his quiet wife. She is a former slave and it is mentioned how rather average she is when it comes to looks. Despite all this she is an immensely strong character who endures any hardship with barely a word. At one point in the novel she gives birth by herself and later in the day is back in the rice paddies harvesting the crop. She also is reminiscent of an Ayn Rand character in that she is the strong female helping to support the hero with little to no attention to her own needs. She was hands down my favorite character as she seemed to be one of the strongest female characters I have ever encountered in a story. She did this all with barely speaking a full sentence in the entire story!.
The story is absolutely breathtaking in its scope. The writing is beautiful. The story is written so simply, no large or complicated words are used, this fits with the story of poor uneducated peasants. The authors description of the home village of the charachters in the Anhui Province of China as well as the description of the people who inhabit it and who come into contact with the main characters show a startling realism rarely encountered in most stories. One of my favorite aspects of the story was the authors description of the various Chinese Traditions that are performed throughout the story. Her descriptions of the traditions are simple, but while keeping the simplicity she manages to explain the purpose of the tradition without losing the gentle flow of the tradition's place in the story. All these aspects as well as many, many others come together to create a beautiful tapestry that actually brought tears to my eyes at times.


Okay, so let's be clear I am not vegan I do not follow a 100-percent plant-based diet. I guess if you'd have to name it I'd be labeled pescatarian because I eat seafood and will eat eggs and still love cheese!
However, I have been eating less seafood and opting for more meatless entrees lately. So, it hit me randomly…why not make a meatless holiday meal and try to convert my family? Thus, the night before Thanksgiving I made a Publix run and probably purchased the most expensive lot of groceries of all time. Because you see I wanted to use organic foods, and raw ingredients. I was inspired thinking with my heart, not my brain. But, in the end, the pay off was worth it.
After an afternoon of whippin' work in the kitchen, I made a complete plant-based spread that is still receiving high remarks. Their minds were blown, how could a meal without meat deliver such deliciousness and satisfy all their holiday food cravings?
On the menu, for the evening a Curry Baja Butternut Squat Soup to start. The star of the meal, a plant-based Celebration Roast picked up in the produce section, surrounded by a creamy vegan green bean casserole, mac n cheez "au gratin" and of course dessert a delicious sweet potato pie with coconut whipped cream to top it all off.
So, without further adieu here are my recipes to try your own plant-based holiday.


Who hasn't dreamed of becoming a pilot? Sitting in the cockpit, stepping on the gas, taking-off and seeing the landscape pass right before their eyes Today, Parrot makes this dream accessible to everyone with Parrot Disco, the first easy-to-fly, fixed-wing drone designed for a fully immersive flight experience. The ultra-lightweight, Parrot Disco is powerful, reaching 50 mph and offering 45 min of flight time.
There is no need to be an experienced pilot with the Parrot Disco. It takes off and lands automatically and comes fully equipped with a powerful autopilot function to help control the flight. For example, when the joystick of the remote control is tilted to the right, the fixed-wing drone will curve in the same direction, while the autopilot takes care of lightly tilting the wing and of increasing the speed of the engine.
The immersive experience is very intuitive and accessible to all. Parrot created a first person view (FPV) head set, Parrot Cockpitglasses, which puts the pilot in the heart of the action by streaming the airborne footage captured by Disco's Full HD frontal camera.
Parrot Disco can be flown with complete precision thanks to a new, compact remote control, Parrot Skycontroller 2. Model aircraft enthusiasts will also be able to pilot Parrot's fixed-wing drone from their own RC controller in full manual mode after connecting a module (not included).
Unique by its design and its performance capabilities, Parrot Disco offers everyone the possibility of an immersive flight without having technical knowledge, and the possibility to record high quality aerial shots using the fixed-wing drone's 32 GB memory.
Compact (22 in x 45 in), Parrot Disco is a fixed-wing drone made from EPP (expanded Polypropylene) and reinforced with carbon tubes, making it both lightweight (1.6 lbs) and robust.
The Parrot Disco's wings are especially engineered to optimize both stability and speed in flight, thanks to an exclusive aerodynamic airfoil which reduces trail and improves lift. The extremities of the wings are equipped with Winglet (the vertically hooked part) and mobile ailerons positioned on the trailing edge, to support steering like an aircraft.
Parrot Disco shows impressive flight performances. It's propelled by a brushless engine with a folding bi-blades propeller which can reach the speed of 50 mph and resist winds of 24 mph! To fully benefit from this unique flight experience, its Lipo battery offers up to 45 min of flight time.
Parrot Disco includes advanced autopilot with no equivalent computing power: Parrot C.H.U.C.K (Control Hub & Universal Computer Kit), which secures each phase of the flight thanks to its numerous sensors.
To prepare the fixed-wing for takeoff, the pilot has to simply push the switch located on the upper part of Disco nose, followed by the 'takeoff/landing' button on the Parrot Skycontroller 2 remote control, and finally to toss the wing towards the sky like a frisbee. Parrot Disco then takes flight, ascending automatically to an altitude of 164ft, at which point the fixed-wing drone will fly in a circular pattern until it receives instructions from the pilot.
To land, the pilot must press the 'takeoff/landing' button on the remote control. Parrot Disco then inclines its flaps and descends below 19ft in altitude. Following the indications from the altimeter, ultrasound sensor and vertical camera, the engine's thrust reverses to reduce the speed in order to ensure a smooth landing in a straight line.
The stability of Parrot Disco comes from the algorithms developed for Parrot C.H.U.C.K. which adapt the parameters throughout the flight and prevents stalling when the pilot makes a critical manoeuver.
The Pitot Tube, used in the aircraft industry, provides the onboard computer with "airspeed" information which is crucial to adapt the engine output in real time and ensure the lift of the device. Coupled with an inertial navigation system (accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, and altimeter) and a GNSS module (GPS + GLONASS), the direction, altitude and speed of the flight are automatically maintained to simplify the piloting of Disco.
Finally, for optimum safety, the FreeFlight Pro application features "Return Home" and "geofence", making it possible for Parrot Disco to automatically return above its takeoff position thanks to the precision of its GPS.
Parrot Disco caters perfectly to model aircraft enthusiasts and is compatible with the majority of RC remote controls. Enthusiasts can connect a RC transmitter (not included) directly to Parrot C.H.U.C.K. The pilot must then deploy all his skills to do acrobatics with the fixed-wing drone in full manual mode!
Parrot Cockpitglasses: the immersive experience with a smartphone!
To experience the most intense and extraordinary flight, Parrot created a FPV headset: Parrot Cockpitglasses*.
*The usage of Parrot Cockpitglasses requires the presence of a co-pilot. Before flying, verify local regulations.
The pilot simply inserts the smartphone** into the headset and then can stream live video captured by Disco's 14 Megapixels Full HD frontal camera and enjoy a fully immersive, wide-angle HD view of the flight.
The FPV experience features perfectly stable images, with no distortion, and follows the Disco's flight path with a display of a radar and telemetric data, placing the pilot in the cockpit of the drone.
Parrot Skycontroller 2: the high precision piloting for all!
Parrot Disco comes with Parrot Skycontroller 2, a new and XS-format Wi-Fi MIMO remote control which offers a 1.2-mile theoretical reach. Completely redesigned to blur the boundaries between gamepads and RC controllers, Parrot Skycontroller 2 is lightweight (1.6 lb), compact and very easy to handle.
The 2 joysticks independently maneuver to ensure in-flight precisions, control the drone's speed, direction, and altitude. Its customizable 'direct access' buttons and 'trigger' buttons give access to the numerous functions and options of the fixed-wing drone and the Parrot Cockpitglasses. This includes the "direct view" function which enables the pilot to see Disco through the camera of the smartphone when wearing Parrot's FPV headset.
Parrot Skycontroller 2 can also connect to an iOS or Android smartphone or tablet via the new FreeFlight Pro application, providing the pilot with seamless video streaming and a platform to refine the settings of Parrot Disco (e.g. geofencing, limitation of the altitude/distance, recording video on the 32GB memory of the flying wing, etc.).
FreeFlight Pro application is available for free on the AppStore and on Google Play. Its intuitive interface enables the user to tailor the commands and flight parameters to their level. This includes speed, altitude, and distance, as well as management of the Wi-Fi connection, photo/video parameters, and to watch live video footage from the Parrot Disco on an iOS or Android smartphone or tablet.
Parrot cloud is also free and integrated within FreeFlight Pro to store the data of each flight. The application also enables configuration of the Parrot Skycontroller 2 in order to customize its commands. Finally, it gives users access to 'Flight Plan' (in-App purchase option) to easily create automatic flights.

We're trying to keep up with the protests breaking out across the globe over the anti-Islam movie. Here is what we know based on publicly available information:
Malaysia: US Embassy Kuala Lumpur informs U.S. citizens of planned demonstrations on Friday, September 21, 2012. It says the embassy is not aware of specific threats to U.S. citizens in Malaysia at this time but will close to the public on mid-day tomorrow.
The U.S. Embassy in Kuala Lumpur has been informed by the Royal Malaysian Police that demonstrations are scheduled to take place in the afternoon on Friday, September 21, 2012 at the following locations: on Jalan Tun Razak in the vicinity of the Embassy; in front of the Tabung Haji Mosque and proceed by foot to the vicinity of the Embassy; in the vicinity of Jamek Kampung Mosque in Kuala Lumpur, approximately 3 kilometers north of the U.S. Embassy on Jalan Raja Abdullah; at the Taman Perling Mosque in Johor Bahru, Johor state; and at all district mosques in Sabah state. U.S. citizens are advised to avoid all areas noted above in Kuala Lumpur on Friday afternoon.
From noon until late afternoon on Friday vehicular and foot traffic in the area around the U.S. Embassy will be disrupted. Given the uncertainty inherent in this situation, the Embassy will close to the public at 11 a.m. Visa and American Citizens Services appointments scheduled for the afternoon of September 21 will be rescheduled for later dates. In the event of an emergency, U.S. citizens may call (03) 2168-5000 at any time. The Embassy plans to re-open for normal business on Monday, September 24.
Indonesia: US Embassy Jakarta informs U.S. citizens of the continuing closure of APP Medan, and closure of US Embassy Jakarta and USCG Surabaya on September 21, 2012:
The U.S. Embassy in Jakarta, the U.S. Consulate General in Surabaya, the American Presence Post in Medan, the U.S. Consular Agency in Bali, and the U.S. Mission to ASEAN will be closed tomorrow, Friday, September 21 because of the potential for significant demonstrations that might be held in front of these facilities. The American Presence Post in Medan continues to be closed today, September 20. We apologize for any inconvenience. We advise, as always, that people should avoid large crowds and other gatherings that might turn violent. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide further updates, if needed.
Australia: US Consulate General Sydney informs U.S. citizens of possible new protests in Sydney and Melbourne on September 22, and September 23.
Sydney law enforcement authorities have advised of possible anti-American demonstrations in Sydney for Saturday, September 22 and Sunday, September 23. U.S. citizens should avoid Sydney's Hyde Park and its perimeter area and Martin Place on both Saturday, September 22 and Sunday, September 23. Previous demonstrations in Sydney on September 15, 2012 occurred in Martin Place and Hyde Park and turned violent.
Melbourne law enforcement authorities have also advised of possible anti-American protests in downtown Melbourne on Saturday, September 22 and Sunday, September 23. Should they occur, U.S. citizens should avoid the immediate demonstration areas.
Nepal: US Embassy Kathmandu informs U.S. citizens of a planned demonstration on September 21.
A demonstration is planned for Friday, September 21 in the area of Ratna Park in Kathmandu in the early afternoon (1 pm or sometime thereafter). (Ratna Park is located in central Kathmandu, approximately one mile south of Thamel, an area popular with backpackers and other tourists, and about a half mile east of Kathmandu's Durbar Square, another popular tourist destination.) Ratna Park is a major transit point for local public transportation buses, so a demonstration in the area could cause traffic disruption.
Japan: US Embassy Tokyo notifies U.S. citizens of planned demonstrations on September 21.
The Embassy has been advised that there will be a demonstration starting in the Shibuya area and arriving at the U.S. Embassy at approximately 4:00PM on Friday, September 21.

Pakistan: The U.S. Embassy in Islamabad and Consulates in Lahore, Karachi and Peshawar will be closed tomorrow (Friday, September 21). The Government of Pakistan yesterday officially declared September 21 a Love for Muhammad Day, a national holiday (see more below).
Meanwhile, the State Department has issued updated Travel Warnings for both Lebanon and Pakistan:
Travel Warning Lebanon: September 17, 2012
The Department of State urges U.S. citizens to avoid all travel to Lebanon because of current safety and security concerns. U.S. citizens living and working in Lebanon should understand that they accept risks in remaining and should carefully consider those risks. This supersedes the Travel Warning issued on May 8, 2012, to emphasize information on security, kidnappings, and an upsurge in violence in Lebanon and the region.
The Fulbright and the English Language Fellow programs that provided grants to American scholars to live and work in Lebanon during the academic year have been suspended in country because of the deteriorating security situation and the increased possibility of attacks against U.S. citizens in Lebanon.
Travel Warning Pakistan | September 19, 2012
The Department of State warns U.S. citizens to defer all non-essential travel to Pakistan.
Movements by U.S. government personnel assigned to the Consulates General are severely restricted. U.S. officials in Islamabad are instructed to limit the frequency of travel and minimize the duration of trips to public markets, restaurants, and other locations. Only a limited number of official visitors are placed in hotels, and for limited stays. Depending on ongoing security assessments, the U.S. Mission sometimes places areas such as hotels, markets, and restaurants off limits to official personnel.
There have been several terrorist attacks in the past few years, targeting civilians and security personnel. On September 3, 2012, unidentified terrorists attacked a U.S. government vehicle convoy in Peshawar, injuring U.S. and Pakistani personnel. On April 24, 2012, an explosion at the Lahore Railway Station killed three people and injured at least 30. On April 5, 2012, a suicide bomber attacked a police vehicle in the Malir Area of Karachi, not far from the airport, causing a number of deaths. On November 16, 2011, a vehicle driven by suicide bombers exploded in the Defense Area of Karachi, killing the three bombers and two police officers. On May 20, 2011, a U.S. Consulate General vehicle in Peshawar was attacked, killing one person and injuring a dozen, including two U.S. employees of the Mission. On April 5, 2010, terrorists carried out a complex attack on U.S. Consulate General Peshawar, with several Pakistani security and military personnel killed or wounded. On February 3, 2010, ten persons, including three U.S. military personnel, were killed and 70 injured in a suicide bombing at a new girls' school in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
A side note here. Pakistani news report that the Federal Cabinet meeting on Wednesday has decided "to observe September 21 as 'Ishq-e-Rasool (pbuh)' day to express reverence for Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) and register the government's protest against the recently released anti-Islam film in the US." The day has been declared a national holiday.
Pakistani Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf, addressing the Cabinet meeting, was quoted as saying: "At this moment, I call upon the people of Pakistan to register their protests peacefully but to observe restraints and not to damage their own property."
On Radio Pakistan, Interior Minister Rehman Malik has reportedly said that special security arrangements will be made on Friday on the occasion of "Day of Ishq-e-Rasool and that no one will be allowed to take the law into his own hands and damage private or public properties during the protests.

The protests are directed primarily against U.S. embassies, but also against institutions and businesses like the American International School in Tunis (burned and looted, also photos here of the US Embassy Tunis from an Arabic website), and the Kentucky Fried Chicken and Hardee's in Lebanon (burned and ransacked).
The British and German Embassies in Khartoum, Sudan were attacked, and there were reported protests as far away as Kashmir and Kut and also against the Swiss Embassy in Tehran, the United States protecting power in Iran.
Over the weekend, there were also protests in Adana and Istanbul in Turkey, in Chisinau, Moldova and in Sydney, Australia. It looks like the protesters range in number from as small as 30 individuals to as much as 2,000.

It's a debate which can proceed for years to return, however we predict Cristiano Ronaldo deserves extra reward than Lionel Messi.
1. Cristiano Ronaldo has performed in three totally different leagues and he has at all times been capable of shine. Lionel Messi has solely performed for Barcelona.
2. Ronaldo has gained a serious trophy together with his nationwide crew, Portugal, the place he's the one famous person. Messi has a variety of superstars round him within the Argentine nationwide crew and he has by no means gained a serious trophy together with his nation after that includes in three finals.
3. Ronaldo has defensive capabilities because of his top. He defends set-pieces and types a part of free kick partitions. Messi presents nothing defensively.
4. Aerially, there is no contest. Ronaldo beats Messi in that regard. Cristiano has scored extra headed objectives than Messi.
5. When issues go fallacious, Ronaldo will get up and tries once more, however Messi provides up. For instance, Ronaldo missed a penalty on the 2016 Euros however he by no means gave up as a result of he's used to strain and the world being in opposition to him. When Messi missed a penalty within the 2016 Copa America closing, he determined to stop the nationwide crew. Messi desires to be in an atmosphere the place he will likely be supported by the press, referees, and analysts.
Ronaldo makes use of each ft. He scores all forms of objectives.


Despite increased awareness and understanding of mental health issues, the tragedy of teen suicide and self-harm are growing problems in the U.S. Among teens and young adults age 10 to 24, suicide is the second-leading cause of death (after accidents), according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The rate of teen suicide has been on the rise for more than a decade.
New research finds that specific type of psychotherapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), may help save lives and prevent self-harm among high-risk teens.
Writing in a companion commentary on the research, Paul Oliver Wilkinson, M.D., of Cambridge University in England, noted that self-harm is common in adolescents and is associated with future suicide attempts.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy is a multicomponent treatment that targets reducing self-harm and suicide attempts. It is designed to help with extreme emotional instability that can lead to impulsive and self-destructive behaviors. DBT focuses on teaching skills to understand and manage emotions, to cope with distress and to develop coping strategies to deal with challenges, including relationships with friends and family. It has been adapted specifically for adolescents with extreme emotional instability. Dialectical refers to dealing with two things that may appear contradictory: accepting one's feelings (drawn from mindfulness practice) and learning to use thinking to change feelings (drawn from cognitive behavior therapy).
DBT skills training includes such things as understanding the signs of out-of-control emotions, coping with difficult situations, interacting more effectively with others, recognizing urges that might be harmful and consciously controlling them and learning how to compromise and negotiate, according to Child Mind Institute.
DBT was initially developed to help treat people with symptoms of borderline personality disorder and are suicidal and is now used to help with a variety of mental health problems.
Researchers led by Elizabeth McCauley, Ph.D., with the University of Washington, Seattle, Wash., compared DBT with individual and group supportive therapy among a group of youth 12 to 18 who were at-risk for suicide (had attempted suicide at least once and had a history of self-harm).
After six months in the study, those receiving DBT were significantly less likely (about a third less) to engage in self-arm, including both suicide attempts and non-suicidal self-injury, than those receiving supportive therapy.

Remarks by Commanding General, U.S. Army Special Operations Command, Lt. Gen. Beaudette at the graduation of Psychological Operation Qualification Course 01-19
COMMANDING GENERAL, U.S. ARMY SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND, LT. GEN. FRANCIS BEAUDETTE:
"It's great to be here. I'm here for one reason: this is the most important thing we do. This is the most important part of the Special Operations community, the Special Operations Family. The Men and Women seated before you are how we win, how we consolidate gains. It's my honor to be here with you today and I really appreciate what you've done and what you're about to embark on for the Nation. I can't overstate how important all of you are to what we're trying to do. At the end of the day, we don't win without you, so we're really thankful for your efforts and your leadership.
Good morning, Distinguished guests, PSYOPers past and present, it's great to have you here as we honor these fantastic graduates of PSYOP class 01-19. A special welcome to the Families in attendance this morning. Army Families bear the greatest burden of all, and their service to this Nation is conducted quietly and without fanfare. Thank you for the unconditional love and support that enables all of our success. Not just here, but more importantly, for the 4,000 Men and Women from this command we've got deployed in over 80 countries around the world each and every day. We're incredibly proud of you, and it's not lost on us that these fantastic Men and Women grow up in an environment that leads them to this point ultimately. Those foundations are set out there and we're incredibly thankful. Let's please give these wonderful Families a round of applause.
It's always humbling, and frankly inspirational, to be here at the Special Warfare Center and School -- originally known as the Psychological Warfare School. This is the epicenter of "disciplined daring and reckless calculation," what it takes to be in our line of work. As we stand here this morning, you can feel the history of this renowned organization. This very auditorium is a place of honor. This was the venue for the Son Tay Raid brief; where the heroes of our past raised their hands and said "Send Me" when their Nation called, and where today's Warriors gather to sustain our great traditions. This is where our Team begins ultimately -- and today, a number of distinguished graduates become part of that legacy. Let me be the first to welcome you to the Special Operations Family! You're critically important to all of us.
For over 100 years, and you'll note that pre-dates Special Forces -- so feel free to bag on your Green Beret Brothers and Sisters out there - Psychological Operations have been sowing the seed of doubt, inciting fear, and disrupting the enemies of our Nation. This community is comprised of the best our Nation has to offer, a special breed of Warrior -- you are the true "Originals." Don't lose sight of that fact. You possess a mastery of influence theory, human dynamics, psychology, sociology, language, culture, and politics. Today's PSYOPer is the most highly skilled influencer the world has ever seen -- pure ARSOF-grade steel. Wear the Black Knight and crossed daggers with pride -- we're so incredibly proud of you!
Make no mistake, the road you've chosen is not an easy one. We are in conflict, right now. We have been for 18 years, and Special Operators have been fundamental to that fight every single day. We have our horns locked in the trenches with a determined and innovative enemy who actively leverages diminished barriers to entry, commercial off the shelf technology, and who is unconstrained by ethics, laws or policy. To combat that threat, we specially assessed, selected, and trained all of you to be the disciplined Warriors and premier problem solvers our Nation needs you to be.
Psychological Operations is the backbone of the ARSOF Family, and the key to our victory. As our newest practitioners of the dark arts of influence, you are now caretakers of a legacy that has been hammer-forged across the globe by executing some of the most dynamic, fluid, and complex Special Operations missions in history. I challenge all of you here today to continue that tradition. Push the envelope, it's who we are, and advance your craft as we transition into a world of technologically mediated communication, social media, and advanced computing. I know you won't let us down.
As the character of warfare continues to evolve, so must our role in it. To maintain our competitive advantage, we have to raise the bar. We must effectively weaponize and integrate all aspects of Information Warfare to seamlessly close the gaps between the physical and digital domains. We must tighten the noose on our adversaries by expanding the conversation to all the Information Related Capabilities -- Electronic Warfare, Deception, STO, PSYOP, and Civil Military Operations, among others. I promise you, you're central to them all. Even in the Information Age, the principles of war remain valid, and massing all the elements of combat power is paramount to our success. Just like it was day one.
You've joined this Regiment at the best possible time. We have been making aggressive moves to evolve and develop innovative approaches to how we fight; unit of action constructs, force disposition, expanded Combat Training Center scenarios, and cyber-enabled MISO, but we still have a lot of work ahead of us. We're at 5% power and you guys are going to take us to the next ridgeline. As I look upon this audience, I'm filled with a great sense of pride knowing that the talent in this room is more than capable of defying the laws of gravity and propelling this Regiment where it belongs, in the stratosphere.
The Nation will undoubtedly continue to demand much from us in the years ahead -- in fact that demand signal will likely increase. In combat, where ARSOF continues to take the fight to our enemies each and every day, the stakes remain high, and the sacrifices steep. We look to you, as we always have, to deliver on our promise to the Nation.
In closing, thank you all for joining us, God Bless the Psychological Operations Regiment, its outstanding Men and Women, our Nation's Army, and God Bless America."

Many new things have come out of 2016, one of them being the New Windows Server 2016. The last update for the Windows server was in 2012, making this a well-deserved update. Microsoft has made sure to make use of all the advances in technology that have cropped up in the four years since its last update, and it shows in the Windows 2016 Server.
New Windows 2016 Server brings enhanced auditing capabilities to the table, allowing for speedier detection of threats in the sensitive processes of your operations. As cybercrimes begin to rise in frequency in the Digital Era, it's important that we keep up to date with the most advanced security measures, and the best way to keep threats from developing into crises is to nip them at the bud.
With the introduction of Hyper-V containers and the integration of a distributed firewall, the New Windows 2016 Server allows for more tactile isolation of applications at a number of stages. These isolation capabilities are nowhere near present in the 2012 version of the Windows Server, making the upgrade a drastic improvement on the security measures currently in place. Furthermore, the integration of the New Windows 2016 Server's new containers allows for a number of other uses past security, which make its cloud services that much more of a selling point.
With the New Windows 2016 Server, users will be able to move their existing applications onto the up to date DevOps without having to resort to any heavy code changing, or in some cases, any code changing at all, due to the New Windows 2016 Server's innovative new container aspect.
The New Windows 2016 Server is designed to not only make the transfer from creating and storing traditional applications to modern applications easy, but interplay between the two formats as well. The New Windows 2016 Server allows for the user to develop and integrate hybrid applications into their workflow, maximizing efficiency and convenience for users.
When updating to the New Windows 2016 Server, users will able to choose from one of three different editions of the New Windows 2016 Server. The three difference editions of the New Windows 2016 Server (the New Windows 2016 Server Essentials, the New Windows 2016 Server Standard, and New Windows 2016 Server Datacenter) allow for different levels of cloud integration, at varying price ranges based on the breadth of integration necessary by various different levels of operations.

Georgia's Rodrigo Blankenship named NFF National Scholar-Athlete
Photo: Chamberlain Smith/UGA
ATHENS, Ga. – Georgia senior place-kicker Rodrigo Blankenship received one of the 12 National Football Foundation (NFF) Scholar-Athlete Awards for his combined academic success, football performance and exemplary leadership at the 62nd Annual Awards Dinner in New York on Tuesday night.
With Blankenship's selection, Georgia now has a Southeastern Conference-leading 14 NFF post-graduate scholars. In fact, the Bulldogs rank sixth nationally in the category with their first kicker being honored since Robert Etter in 1966.
Blankenship is the only SEC recipient this year and the first for the league, which has had a total of 72 all-time, since 2016. Each of the players who received the 2019 Scholar-Athlete Award will be awarded an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship.
Blankenship is the only special teams player on this year's squad. The 2019 CoSIDA First Team Academic All-American and 2018 Allstate American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Good Works Team member is the first Bulldog to garner the Scholar-Athlete Award since quarterback Aaron Murray received the honor in 2013.
This marks only the second time in school history that Georgia has had an NFF Scholar Athlete as well as an Allstate AFCA Good Works Team member (junior quarterback Jake Fromm) in the same year. In 2011, punter Drew Butler won a Scholar-Athlete Award while tight end Aron White was on the Good Works Team.
While this is the first player in the Kirby Smart era to win an NFF Scholar-Athlete Award, there have now been five in the 2000s: Blankenship, Murray, Butler (2011), quarterback David Greene (2004) and offensive tackle Jon Stinchcomb (2002). Etter in 1966 was the first Georgia winner. Tommy Lawhorne (1967), Billy Payne (1968), Tim Callaway (1969), Tommy Lyons (1970), Tom Nash (1971), Jeff Lewis (1977), Terry Hoage (1983) and Matt Stinchcomb (1998) are also Bulldogs who have been honored.
Honors had already begun to roll in for Blankenship this season. The six-time 2019 SEC Special Teams Player of the Week was named the SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year for football this season. He was also a finalist for the Burlsworth Trophy and Lou Groza Award and a semifinalist for Wuerffel Trophy.
Blankenship, a native of Marietta, Ga., is the SEC's second leading scorer this year, averaging 9.2 points per game, and has connected on 25-of-31 field goal attempts and all 198 of his career PATs, including 44 this year. He has drilled three 50-yard field goals during his team's 11-2 mark. Blankenship is the FBS active leader by 16 with a total of 78 made field goals. He is UGA's all-time leading scorer with 432 points, which ranks second all-time in league history.
The former walk-on's school record 198 consecutive PATs ranks second in SEC history. Thanks in large part to his contribution, Georgia leads the nation with 289 PATs in a row dating back to 2014.
Blankenship's journey has included kicking a game winner at Kentucky in 2016 as a redshirt freshman walk-on and drilling a 30-yarder to clinch the victory at No. 24 Notre Dame in 2017 before announcing to his teammates postgame that he had earned a scholarship.
Two of his more memorable moments in uniform were setting a Rose Bowl Game record with a 55-yard field goal during the double-overtime win over No. 2 Oklahoma in the College Football Playoff Semifinal and hitting a 51-yarder in overtime of the National Championship Game one week later versus No. 4 Alabama.
Blankenship graduated Cum Laude (3.71 GPA) in December 2018 with a degree in Digital and Broadcast Journalism. He is currently enrolled in a Journalism Master's program and has a 3.65 GPA. The 2017 CoSIDA Academic All-District selection was a 2018 winner of the Billy Payne Award for graduating with at least a 3.0 GPA and being on the football team for four years.
Georgia's 19th Allstate AFCA Good Works Team member since 1992 has been just as stellar in the community. He is a member of the UGA Athletic Association's Leadership Academy (L.E.A.D.) and has given his time to the following activities and many more: spokesperson for "No More," which is a public service announcement against domestic violence and sexual assault; visitation at Camp Sunshine, which is a camp that provides support programs for children with cancer and their families; volunteer for the "Empty Bowl" luncheon, which is a luncheon sponsored by the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia where hand-painted ceramic bowls done by the football players were part of a silent auction to raise funds for needy families; and volunteer for the Home Runs for Hometown Rivals, which is a softball game at UGA's Foley Field for Special Olympians.
The NFF's National Scholar-Athlete program, launched in 1959, is the first initiative in history to award scholar-athletes postgraduate scholarships for their combined athletic, academic and leadership abilities. This year's class members finds themselves in good company with past National Scholar-Athletes who include former Bulldog All-American and past chairman of Augusta National Golf Club, home of the Masters Tournament, Billy Payne.
The No. 5 Bulldogs (11-2) will face No. 7 Baylor (11-2) in the Allstate Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1, 2020, in New Orleans, La. ESPN will televise the matchup.

East Hampshire
Denmead Co-op ram-raid: 'These crimes clearly have a cost and impact'

Published: 06:00 Thursday 04 October 2018
THIEVES who ripped through the front of a shop to steal cash have left a retail giant picking up the cost of yet another ram-raid.
A digger was left outside The Co-op on Hambledon Road, Denmead, after part of the store's cash machine and cash boxes were stolen at about 1.30am yesterday.
The retail giant, which has had its Cowplain and Clanfield shops targeted numerous times, said the crimes clearly have a cost and affect employees as well as communities.
Shocked Hambledon Road business owners have also spoken of the nightmare situation that has seen a spate of thefts and burglaries in the area.
A spokeswoman for The Co-op said: 'We have, and will continue to invest in measures to help deliver a safer and more secure environment across our stores, working closely with Hampshire police on a number of initiatives.
'As a locally-owned co-operative, these crimes clearly have a cost to us but also have an impact on our colleagues and the communities they are based in.
'Unfortunately incidents such as these occur across the country and affect the whole retail sector.
'We are hoping to re-open our Denmead store today. Essential items such as milk and bread are available in the smaller Post Office store opposite.'
The Co-op's Post Office store on the other side of the road was initially unable to open as the keys were in the raided store.
Police said a Ford Transit van thought to have been used in the burglary was recovered near Old Winchester Hill.
Enquiries are ongoing and no arrests have been made.
Sergeant Stuart Gilmour said officers from the Neighbourhood Policing Team will be patrolling the area.
Rachel Emery, 40, runs Gino's barbershop two doors down from the Co-op. She said: 'We got here and I thought "oh my god", it's a massive shock.
Cowplain mother-of-four reveals her heartache after son dies after becoming addicted to drugs
'It's all becoming a bit of a nightmare here, it seems like small shops and areas are being targeted.'
Sandy Barnard, 54 and the owner of Barnard's Coffee House & Restaurant, added: 'It's very sad and it does make you worry.
'There's been a lot of thefts around here recently, it makes you nervous to go out.'
'MORE CCTV CAMERAS AND BOLLARDS NEEDED'
'THIS is clearly a major issue for businesses.'
Ross McNally, executive chair of Hampshire Chamber of Commerce, said a spate of ram-raids have taken place across Hampshire, West Sussex and Surrey in recent months.
He said: 'Small areas are being targeted because its easier for people to ram-raid them with impunity.
'When this happens it affects the whole high street or small village it's happened in.
'Local communities, police and retailers have got to be able to get together with the government and get more funding to get rid of this problem.
'Criminals see these shops as a soft target and we've got to do things like increase CCTV and install bollards to deter them from doing such things.'
Hampshire Constabulary said it is unaware of a rise in thefts and burglaries in the Denmead area, following claims from locals.
YET ANOTHER CO-OP TARGETED BY RAM-RAIDERS
THE THEFT at the Co-op store in Denmead, on Hambledon Road, follows a number of ram-raids that have recently taken place in the area.
In August the Milton Road Co-op in Cowplain was targeted, but ram-raiders failed to take the store's cash machine. Extensive damage was caused to the front of the store. There were two other attempts prior to this, all within the last 12 months.
In July the Clanfield store on White Dirt Lane had its front wall demolished after thieves took off with its cash machine.
Criminals used a stolen forklift to ram the store. Police enquiries are ongoing and no arrests have been made for this incident, or the latest ram-raid in Cowplain.

Krenzel. LOL. Forgot about him. The genius Doctor right? What is Sears Tower called now anyway? Willis or something last I knew.
Orton is my all time least favorite Bears QB.
Sears. Sad. Great example of a corporation getting too big to adapt to tech changes and then dying quickly.
Ironically their original catalog model slightly adapted is ideal again in internet age. Too late now.
Of Bears QBs mine would be Danny Wuerffel. Been like 18 years and I still can't say his name without sounding handicapped.
I still have a borderline dramatic hate of Manziel and Cardale Jones though. Every bad game made me do the evil villain laugh.
I guess "evil villain" is a bit redundant too, but whatever.
Guys the answer is Henry Burris, a QB from the Arena league who ended up playing a game for us.
Overruled. Poster said "orton" not "grossman". I'll allow it.
Oh god. You really had to bring that name up didn't you? LOL.
Mine is still McKnobody and Matthews. I still to this day do not know how in god's name ANY coach thought these two were ever good options in first place. Much less keep them on the team.
I overrule your overruling. You're dead to me.
Quarterback-face somehow mixed with subway-hotdog-vendor name.
I bet God had a giggle when he put them together.
I wonder which guy in the picture he is trying to pic up.
I believe if I'm not mistaken, that was the infamous draft night at Drink.


Blue Star is a pretty Blue Pool that is usually near to boiling temperature. Because it is so close to Old Faithful it is very easy to see. Thus, not only is it popular but it has also been the subject of abuse as tourists throw trash into the pool. While it usually does not erupt it has had 1-2 foot eruptions in 1925, 1926, 1997 and 2002.
A Bison Skull in Blue Star Spring. This unfortunate juvenile fell into the Blue Star during the Winter of 1996-97. He was quickly killed by the hot water. For a period after this incident, the pool smelled like beef soup.
