Fresh updates for Hollywood, Foreign, Independent and Philipine Movies.
"BLACK PANTHER'S" M'BAKU WINSTON DUKE A GOOFY DAD IN "US"
He's best known for playing the fan-favorite character M'Baku, leader of the Jabari Tribe and eventual valuable ally to King T'Challa in Black Panther. Now, Winston Duke stars in Jordan Peele's critically acclaimed thriller, Us.
"The film is about an American family trying to live the perfect American dream, and then realizing that the American dream is perilous, insecure and unsustainable," says Duke, who plays Gabe Wilson. "I look at the American dream as another character in this film that succumbs to the dangers of the horror-thriller genre and becomes a hapless victim."
Duke plays Gabe, husband to Adelaide (Lupita Nyong'o) and patriarch of the family, but he's also the "fun" parent. In a way, he's Adelaide's opposite. He's not big on structure and rules, and he's often the antidote to her fears and anxieties.
"Gabe is this fun, charismatic character," director-writer Peele says. "He's kind of a goofy dad, but he has an enthusiasm and spontaneity that makes him the spirit of the family. He often doesn't think before he acts, though, and that has been a bit of a strain in his relationship with Adelaide."
As the family arrives in Santa Cruz at the beginning of the film, Adelaide isn't the only character feeling anxiety. Gabe doesn't share her past, but he has real concerns of his own. "Gabe is the heart and soul of this family," Duke says. "He's playful and spontaneous. He keeps this family buoyant on their toes. We thought of him as a man who's trying to be the father that he never had, so he is overly present; and this summer is a big deal." As part of that effort, he buys a speedboat that has seen better days, hoping for some bonding family outings on the water.
All of that is thrown into high relief when Gabe and Adelaide are confronted by The Tethered. "Gabe's need to live in a fantasy of what an American marriage, and an American family, is—that's his driving force," Duke says. "And then everything changes. My favorite line in the movie is, 'The world's not going to end. It's just going to be different.' It's a metaphor for what their family structure is going to be, and what their family is going to look like, in the aftermath of what they're going through."
For Peele, Duke was the perfect choice to play Gabe. "Winston doesn't know it, but he basically is Gabe," Peele says. "Winston thinks Gabe is based on me, but when I met Winston it was like, 'Ok, yes. Just do that.' Winston is that dude. He's a fun mash-up of how I originally saw the character and all the qualities that he brought to the role. You can't separate the two."
For Nyong'o, her long friendship with Duke became a critical part of their on-screen marriage. "Winston and I have known each other since we were in graduate school together," Nyong'o says. "And, of course, we'd had this short stint together in this little movie called Black Panther. We're extremely close. We bicker like siblings; we're like an old couple. So there was the comfort of knowing that he's someone that I trust personally, and also someone whose artistry I really admire and respect."
"Winston is just such a rambunctious character," she continues. "He's so warm and so unafraid. He's a courageous actor, and a generous one, so it was great to just trust our chemistry and to play off of it. Our on-screen marriage got deep really quickly."

Peter Wickens Fry (1795 Compton Bishop – 29. srpna 1860 Londýn) byl anglický amatérský fotograf – průkopník, ačkoli profesionálně pracoval jako londýnský právník. Na počátku 50. let 19. století spolupracoval s Frederickem Scottem Archerem a pomáhal mu s prvními experimenty s mokrým kolodiovým procesem. V roce 1853 aktivně pomáhal Rogeru Fentonovi založit společnost Royal Photographic Society. Několik jeho fotografií je ve sbírkách Victoria and Albert Museum v Londýně.

Život a rodina
Narodil se někdy v roce 1795 Petru Frymu (1768-1846) a Joanně Chapmanové v Compton Bishopu, vesnici v severním Somersetu. Měl dva mladší bratry a dvě sestry. Jeho mladší bratr Bruges později žil v Hill House v Cheddaru a Peter žil v Compton House v Compton Bishopu. Vystudoval advokacii a začal pracovat jako advokát, později se stal jedním z průkopníků fotografie v Anglii.

Kariéra
Na počátku 40. let se začal zajímat o vznikající umění fotografie. Zjevně experimentoval s kreslením světlem ještě předtím, než Henry Fox Talbot vyvinul v roce 1841 proces kalotypie. První fáze experimentování byla s daguerotypickými portréty. Jeho zájem a výzkumy ve fotografii ho přivedly ke zvolení do Královské společnosti umění (RSA) v roce 1845. S přáteli ve svém domě z vlastního zájmu založil klub Calotype Club. První setkání klubu se konalo v roce 1847. Bylo to neformální shromáždění 12 fotografů zapojených do procesu kalotypie. Setkávali se jednou nebo dvakrát měsíčně a diskutovali o technickém vývoji a praktickém použití. Klub byl v roce 1848 přejmenován na Royal Photographic Club. Někteří další členové klubu byli například: vědec Robert Hunt, člen RSA, který byl ředitelem Muzea praktické geologie a na počátku fotografie byl v tomto oboru autoritou, sochař Archer a Dr. Hugh Welch Diamond, který byl vedoucím Lunatic Asylum v Surrey County.

Na začátku 50. let spolupracoval s Archerem a pomáhal mu na prvních pokusech s mokrým kolodiovým procesem. The Photographic Journal napsal, že udělal mnoho pro podporu použití kolodiového procesu. Jeho první snímek za použití kolodia byl vystaven na schůzi Společnosti umění v roce 1851. Archera představil také Richardovi Hornovi. Ten pak vystavoval fotografie na Velké výstavě v roce 1851, což mohly být první kolodiové snímky, které byly veřejně vystaveny. V roce 1852 spolupracoval s Archerem při uplatňování pozitivního procesu kalotypie, nebo ambrotypového procesu portrétování, který u veřejnosti našel rozsáhlé využití. V zimě 1852-53 uspořádal se společností Royal Photographic Club první výstavu fotografií. V roce 1853 také aktivně pomáhal Rogeru Fentonovi založit Královskou fotografickou společnost. Byl aktivní v radě Královské fotografické společnosti, dokud nebyl nucen krátce před svou smrtí kvůli nemoci rezignovat.

Na konci své právnické kariéry se objevil jako advokát Jamese Hendersona v soudním případu známém jako "Talbot versus Henderson", což je případ pro případ porušování práv, který Talbot uplatňoval za svůj patent na kalotypii. Frymu se nakonec podařilo získat soudní příkaz, který klientovi poskytl kompenzaci ve výši 330 liber.

Zemřel 29. srpna 1860 na Montague Street čp. 14 v Londýně. Několik jeho fotografií patří Společnosti a Victoria and Albert Museum v Londýně, včetně jeho portrétu pořízeného roku 1851.

Sarah jerked her head around so fast she heard her neck pop. The man's rich, rumbling voice offered comfort in ways she'd never experienced before. She inhaled to get more of an understanding of the salt-and-pepper haired man standing in the doorway. He carried the scents of alpine river and hot stone, but more importantly, he smelled like a Moon Singer.
Don't be fooled, gel. The demon can pull off such trickery.
"Are you west of left field, Mr. MacLaren?" The Moon Singer code popped out before she thought.
Sarah hadn't known she'd been holding her breath until it rushed out in a relieved sigh. More relief than required over his not being the demon. What's that about?
Sarah wanted to ask more questions, but a sense of urgency made her rise and pull Liam up with her. Her son watched Alex with wide, blue eyes, clutching the book.
"Bring it. Fitzroy won't mind. He keeps books just for that reason. We'll just go out the back to my Jeep." Alex gestured to the door. No one stood in the hallway outside and Sarah scented Alex's relief.
He ushered them out to a cherry red Jeep Rubicon and helped them inside. He buckled Liam in directly behind him as if to protect the boy with his own body. The inside of the Jeep smelled like Alex. His strength, comfort, and power wrapped around them as he closed the doors. Old sorrow spiced the other scents and Sarah wondered what wounds he carried.
"Why don't you go there much?" Liam asked.
Sarah hissed a warning and the boy frowned.
"I'm sorry about your mate." Sarah smelled his pain as he shrugged nonchalantly.
Sarah clenched her jaw and looked at her son. She hated revisiting the memories, but she'd come to the Morukai and he'd brought Alex in to help. Knowledge is power and I can't do this alone anymore.
"I don't know. Sheer dumb luck? I wish I could explain." She glanced at Liam. He met her gaze with love and trust.
"Why would the demons pursue you now?" Alex downshifted and slowed the Jeep, sparing her a thoughtful look.
Liam didn't say anything for a long time and the seconds ticked by with the growl of the engine. Sarah tried to forget the putrid demonic stench, but it festered inside her, engraved in her scent memory. At last, Liam glanced at her as if seeking permission and she nodded.

Review : Shakespeare's Globe Theatre Exhibition and Tour
January 16, 2014 12:32 pm / Leave a comment
Location – 21 New Globe Walk, Bankside, London, SE1 9DT
Shakespeare's Globe is situated on the South Bank of the Thames in Southwark. It is a modern reconstruction of the Globe Theatre, an Elizabethan playhouse that was originally built-in 1599, destroyed by fire in 1613, rebuilt in 1614, and then finally demolished in 1644.
The modern Globe is situated around 700 ft from the site of the original theatre and was designed to recreate as near as possible the experience of watching a play in the time of Shakespeare. The modern Globe was created due to the initiative of American actor and director Sam Wanamaker and is based on the original Globe of 1599, although there are no plans of the theatre, considerable academic research went into the design to make it as accurate as possible to the original.
The tour guides tend to be very knowledgeable and some are actors in their own right and entering the theatre offers a unique experience, walking through the wooden doors you are transported into the days of Shakespeare.
To the modern theatre goer, the facilities are a bit of a shock with the theatre open to the elements and the most rudimentary seating. There is no microphones or speakers, all music is played live and the audience can be seen by the actors as the plays are performed in daylight or lit by internal lighting.
One major difference between Shakespearian and Modern Theatre is that in the original Globe, the audience were not passive but part of the action. There tended to give feedback to the action, if the audience did not like the action they were not shy to let the actors know.
In rebuilding the Globe, the organisation went to considerable lengths to be 'authentic' , It is built from materials available in 1600 (oak, lime plaster, and thatch) using construction methods of the period: the oak timbers are joined together with wooden pegs. Costumes are made from the textiles of 1600, such as linen, wool, leather, and silk, based on patterns and garments surviving from the early 17th Century.
Inside the theatre, it is necessary to understand how the Shakespearian Theatre worked. The stage thrusts out into the yard where up to 700 people can stand to watch a performance. These members of the audience often paid just a penny for the cheapest view and were referred to as 'groundlings' or by more derogatory names such as 'penny stinks'.
If you had a little more money, you would be seated in the boxes and if you were very privileged in the Gentlemens' Boxes/Rooms or Lords Rooms.
The stage is covered by the Heavens, the roof painted with stars, moons, and signs of the zodiac. Beneath the stage is Hell, an area from where devils or witches might appear. Above the stage is the Attic where sound effects are created.
After a tour of the theatre itself, visitors can explore the exhibition based under the Globe Theatre that explains in more depth, the life of Shakespeare, the London where he lived, and the theatre for which he wrote. It also provides some insight into the area surrounding the Globe which was once London's most notorious entertainment district, surrounded by taverns and bawdy-houses.
Since the theatre opened in 1997, it has staged a large number of acclaimed plays and events. Because it is open to the elements, performances are restricted to May through to October.
In 2014 the Theatre opened a new Jacobean Theatre based on one that was located in Blackfrairs. It is known as the Sam Wanamaker Theatre and plays will be performed all year round.
The Shakespeare's Globe Exhibition and Tour offers a interesting and entertaining insight in Elizabethan Theatre. The building of the theatre itself is a major achievement and the tour guides explain in detail how the vision of Sam Wanamaker came into being and has provided a wonderful monument to Shakespeare and English Theatre.
The Shakespeare's Globe Exhibition and Tour will appeal to a wide range of people and all ages, it is an opportunity to be transported back in time to understand the type of environment in which one of the world's greatest playwrights learnt his trade. There is no doubt that Shakespeare's Globe Theatre is one of the more unique sights in London.
The Shakespeare's Globe has an Exhibition and Tours all the year round:

Thread: Half priced Ammo !
Ok its only 6 boxes and its on black Friday but its still a good deal if you have a dicks near you.
I attached the page of the ad here. The full ad (and others) can be found here.
I was hoping for a good deal on some rifles but Gander Mountain nor Dicks has em this year. I guess with the buying frenzy they dont need to cut the prices.
It only works out to 25% off. It is a buy one at full price and get half off the second one. I went through that with them on their last add like that. The guy selling ammo thaought it was 1/2 off all ammo so I bought six. After arguing with the manager that the guy upstairs said it was 1/2 price he calld him and verified it. Then went up to explain the way the sale is supposed to be. Still a discount though.
I had the same experience as tbtrout last year. It's still a pretty good deal, but the ads are misleading.
I had a clerk that didn't catch the "buy one get one" fine print, so I got six boxes of sabot slugs for half price. Then I went through again and got six bricks of 12ga trap loads.
When the prices are double what they were two years ago, even 50% off is not really a sale.

The Delhi Development Authority has announced a Rs 700 crore (Rs 7 billion) bailout package for cash-drained Emaar MGF, which is developing the Commonwealth Games Village project.
The package envisages purchase of 333 flats in the CGV project instead of a loan. The price at which the flats will be bought is 13 per cent higher than what was recommended by an expert committee constituted by the government to decide the modalities of bailing out the Indian unit of Dubai-based Emaar. However, it is well below what Emaar was asking.
Emaar had sought a Rs 1,000 crore (Rs 10 billion) bailout. The request was made after the global meltdown led to a near-collapse of the Indian property market.
Emaar had planned to raise money from pre-sale of flats. But the crash in the property market threw its calculations haywire, forcing the developer to plead for a bailout.
The DDA had decided to pay Rs 11,000 per sq ft for the apartments, against the expert committee's suggestion for Rs 9,382-9,720 per sq ft, it said in an e-mail.
"Since the purchase of flats is the only viable option, it has been decided to purchase 333 flats for approximately Rs 700 crore at a price of Rs 11,000 per square feet, which is much below the rate being charged by Emaar MGF from the buyers in the open market."
Emaar MGF, under a private-public partnership with the DDA, had won the contract to develop 1,168 flats. The company had hoped to sell 70 per cent (778) of these and to use the cash from the sale to finance the construction. The CGV is being built to house the 8,500-odd athletes and those who accompany them.
Emaar had earlier planned to sell the apartments for Rs 12,750 a sq ft in the open market. The flats have a price tag of between Rs 1.8 crore (Rs 18 million) and Rs 4.8 crore (Rs 48 million).
The new price at which the DDA plans to buy the flats, though higher than recommended by the panel, will set a lower price for the future flats to be sold at the Village. This is also likely to force earlier investors to ask for discounts on the flats already sold by the developer.
"The reduction in prices of the apartments by the DDA is recognition of the fact that the property rates have moved southward. Developers across the country have reduced prices of their flats to sell their projects", said Pranay Vakil, chairman, Knight Frank India Pvt Ltd.
Recently, DLF, the largest developer of the country, launched (and sold) a housing project, Capital Greens, in West Delhi at Rs 4,075 a sq ft. "I am not sure if the DDA could have priced the project at a rate similar to that of DLF Capital Greens, as different companies have a different price strategy," Vakil added.
The DDA had set up a price fixation committee in March this year to analyse the current market price of the apartments being developed in the project.
"The DDA may finalise/negotiate the final price keeping in view its understanding or experience in the sector," its report concluded.
The project is scheduled to be completed by April 2010, a few months before the Games. Till date, it is 43 per cent complete, as against the target of 45 per cent. The government has been under pressure to come out with a bailout package to keep the construction on schedule.
The price fixation committee report said Emaar had spent nearly Rs 788 crore (Rs 7.88 billion) till date.

Anton Budin, slovenski javni in kulturni delavec, * 31. marec 1902, Miren, † 8. avgust 1991, Jesenice.

Življenje in delo
Rodil se je v družini kamnoseka Karla Buduna. V Vižmarjah se je izučil mizarskega poklica in po vrnitvi na Primorsko opravljal mizarska dela v različnih delavnicah. Nekaj let je delal tudi v tržiški ladjedelnici. Po 2. svetovni vojni je bil med ustanovitelji in nato do upokojitve obratovodja v mizarskem podjetju Iztok v Mirnu.

Izredno razgibano pa je bilo Budinovo javno delovanje. V mladosti je bil odličen športnik, uvrščal se je v sam vrh goriških telovadcev, še bolj pa mu je bila pri srcu gledališka igra. V takrat zelo znani in uspešni mirenski gledališki skupini je bil vedno med nosilci glavnih vlog. V amaterskem gledališču je nastopal vse do smrti. Bil je tudi predsednik mirenskega Pevskega društva ter aktivno deloval v Krajevni skupnosti. Vedno pa ga je privlačila narava, še posebej naše planine: v 90-em letu življenja se je v njih smrtno ponesrečil. Z bratoma, duhovnikom Ivanon in zborovodjo Venčeslavom je udejanil zgled žlahtnih slovenskih vrednot in tradicij.

This handsome set of oil paintings are in spectacular condition!
These paintings feature a wild english garden bouquet with all types of expertly painted flowers. The bouquets include but are not limited to: Dahlia, Parrot Tulip, Black-eyed Susan, Blue Bells, Corn Flowers, Daisy & Lily of the Valley. There are two flowers in one of the bouquet that I can't identify (in the center of photo four).
The bouquets are each held in simple, amphoric vases and presented on a black field.
Each image is mounted in a black gesso, oval frame. The frames are made of mahogany and have a molded face featuring gilt accents, geometric designs & small, hand painted floral designs at the compass points!
These paintings could well have been produced between 1890 and 1930 but, to my eye, were most likely produced sometime after the advent of television, possibly in the 1920's, as they do have the distinct feel of set decor. Conversely, this type of painting set was also popular in German and Swiss parlors & nurseries. Regardless of their origin - the fact is that these paintings are spectacular!

Fire destroys lodge at Lake Kabetogama resort…
Fire destroys lodge at Lake Kabetogama resort on Minnesota-Canadian border
By Forum News Service |
A fire on Monday destroyed the lodge at a resort on Lake Kabetogama in northeastern Minnesota.
The St. Louis County sheriff's office reported it was called along with Kabetogama and Little Fork firefighters to the Voyageur Park Lodge Resort in Kabetogama Township at 5 p.m. The lodge was a total loss.
No one was at the lodge at the time of the fire, according to the sheriff's office.
The lodge was described as a two-story building on the Friends of Northland FireWire's Facebook page.
Voyageur Park Lodge Resort is separate from Voyageurs National Park. It's located on a peninsula in Kabetogama Lake on the U.S.-Canadian border, according to its website.
It has 11 cabins on the 16-acre peninsula. The cabins were not damaged.
A man who answered the lodge's phone declined to comment.
The fire is being investigated by the sheriff's office and the state fire marshal's office.

2 streams is at once, on 2 different devices at the same time.
Many thanks - regarding the stream bit, just to clarify then via my BT sport on sky, I can watch footie on a mobile device, my wife can watch the same stream at the same time, but my son/sons cant watch the same stream as me/my wife at that same time?
You, your wife, your son and the cat can all have it installed on your phones for example, only 2 of you can watch at the same time, that's what it refers to with as many devices installed but 2 streams at once.

Ancient Sundial, believed to be around 8,000 years old discovered...
Ancient Sundial, believed to be around 8,000 years old discovered by accident in Italy
Stonehenge meets the Sun. The newly found ancient site is already being hailed as the Italian equivalent to Stonehenge.
A sensational discovery has been made in Italy as amateur archaeologists have found a site equivalent to Stonehenge in Italy while mapping World War II bunkers. The Ancient Sundial was discovered near the town of Gela and is believed to date back to around 6,000 BC.
The discovery was made by accident as a group of friends came across an ancient site, dating back thousands of years, considered as the Italian equivalent of Stonehenge in terms of importance.
The discovery was made at the town of Gela, a city and comune in the Autonomous Region of Sicily, the largest for area and population on the island's southern coast.
The city was founded around 688 BC by colonists from Rhodes and Crete, 45 years after the founding of Syracuse.
The finding has already been confirmed by experts and is considered as a major discovery that will help experts understand prehistoric times like never before.
The Italian Stonehenge has already been dubbed as the 'Sicilian Stonehenge.'
According to the Local, a group of friends who happen to be amateur archaeologists were carrying out surveys when they came across a discovery that they will remember for a long time.
Scientists have so far confirmed that the 'Italian Stonehenge' is a sundial which according to experts dates back between 6000 and 3000 BC. To confirm the discovery, scientists used a GPS drone, cameras, and compass in order to verify whether the sundial is still functioning, discovering that it can still ACCURATELY determine the seasons.
According to reports, experts who specialize in archeoastronomy has been studying the find for three months, completing the work on Tuesday, January 3rd.
Experts have linked the newly discovered site in Italy to Stonehenge, one of the most significant and mysterious historical sites located in England. This ancient complex, considered as one of the ancient t wonders of the world is believed to date back to around 3000 BC.
Giuseppe La Spina, one of the members of the group that made the discovery, told The Local: "Making an archaeological discovery is in itself an important event, but to be part of one of the most sensational finds in recent years fills me with pride."
Archaeologists have stated that the discovery opens up numerous possibilities and they believe further historically significant finds may be hidden at the site.

We've been getting this error on our Serv-U Gateway server twice in the last 4 days, but never had it before. It's running on Windows 2012 R2 and ESXi 6.5 (VM version 13), VMware tools 10305. I have to reboot the entire server to get it to clear. I've tried restarting the Gateway and it will stop but not start again, probably due to the port being locked.
So far I can't correlate this with anything else. Has anyone else come across this?
I am having this same issue and it seems to only affect my Solarwinds NPM VM.
I had the same issue after a Microsoft update about a month ago, I'd recommend checking whether this was caused by the same thing.

I am Lukas, a mathematician, but also a travel and sports enthusiast, and a nature-lover. In one sentence, I like to explore the world in as many facets as possible.
I am a complex algebraic geometer. In particular, I am interested in the geometry and topology of varieties with klt singularities. I also like to think about algebraic group actions and invariant theory.
I do lots of different sports, such as downhill mountainbiking, ski touring, mountain running, snowkiting, kitesurfing, spearfishing, apnoe diving. Previously, I also played waterpolo.
During my travels, I explored a few quite extraordinary places, such as the mountains and seas of Papua New Guinea, the far east of Turkey, Albania, remote Greek islands, and parts of the Ho Chi Minh trail.

I am a Walter-Benjamin fellow in the Algebraic Geometry group of Stefan Kebekus at the University of Freiburg and principal investigator in my research project 'Fundamental and Divisor Class Group: Finiteness and Interplay' funded by the DFG (German research foundation).
Before that, I was a postdoc in the Arithmetic Geometry group of Annette Huber-Klawitter also at the University of Freiburg.
Even before that, I obtained my PhD in Nov. 2019 with summa cum laude from the University of Tübingen. My advisor was Jürgen Hausen.
I am interested in varieties with klt singularities, in particular their geometry and topology. My main tools are Cox rings, group actions, and orbifolds. I aim to generalize existing notions and fields of application of Cox rings and investigate their interplay with fundamental groups.

In the mountains, I do sports such as downhill mountainbiking, trail/mountain running, road cycling and hiking - in summer. In winter, I like to go ski mountaineering and snowkiting.
I also enjoy searching for mushrooms, which happens mostly in the mountains!

The Hebridean, a sheep breed now classified as rare, originated in the islands off the western coast of Scotland. They are classified as one of the Northern Short-tailed breeds. Over the centuries, Hebridean ewes have been selected by natural systems for hardiness in all weathers, ease of lambing, milkiness and good mothering instincts.
Because Hebrideans have not been modified by artificial selection they remain a small, economically efficient breeding ewe with a surprising ability to produce quality cross-bred lambs. Both sexes are usually horned with either two or four horns, four horns being the most common. They have shown a greater tendency to browse than other sheep breeds which has made them useful in ecological projects where the control of brush and weeds was needed.
Hebridean sheep descend from the same Iron Age British stock we have come to know on many of the sheep in outer islands. They were smaller than the modern versions, had similar short tails, and had slightly hairier fleeces for deflecting water. Once known as Scotttish Dunface, the Hebridean was a mainstay for subsistence farmers throughout Scotland until the agricultural revolutions in the eighteenth century pushed them to the Hebrides, where they managed to survive mostly unchanged.
They had some help, the aristocracy liked the black coloring and selected them, as they did Manx and Jacob, to look pretty grazing on their estates. The black coloring is recessive, but once selected and bred for, it sticks. Interestingly, Celtic peoples liked the black coloring and not just because of the color – black horned feet are tougher and grow more slowly, characteristics which lend themselves to being left to their own devices in very difficult terrain.
In 1973 the British Rare Breeds Survival Trust identified the few remaining, practically feral, parkland Hebridean flocks as in danger of extinction and listed the breed. It is recovering today, but still needs to be monitored.
Hebridean are extremely hardy sheep. The ewes are good mothers and lamb easily, often having twins, and they are excellent milkers. They are small, ewes typically weigh only 75-90 lbs. and rams are only a slight bit larger at around 100 lbs. Legs and faces are generally free from wool, and sheep of either gender may have up to four horns. They are delicately boned – and yet very sturdy sheep that exist very well on rough feed – and are crucially important to maintaining many of the ecosystems on the Hebridean islands: they keep the verge in trim so the birds can nest. Without the sheep, many species of sea birds would be in even greater danger of extinction.
The fleece is either black (often true black) or very dark brown and may have weathered tips, which lend Hebridean fleece to tweed. All the lambs are born truly black, and Hebridean sheep will often go grey as they age – with increasingly coarse fleece. Some are double coated, and like their shetland relatives may have a very soft downy undercoat, while others are very dense. Kemp is not unusual, particularly on the flanks and the mane of a ram. Fleeces range from 3-8 pounds with a wildly varying staple length. Breed standard cites anywhere from 1-14 inches depending on the source of the wool, but something in the vicinity of 2-4 is the most common. Micron count is generally coarse at around 33-38.

39 This is how Jerusalem was captured: Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his whole army and surrounded the city to attack it. This was during the tenth month of the ninth year Zedekiah was king of Judah. 2 This lasted until the ninth day of the fourth month in Zedekiah's eleventh year. Then the city wall was broken through. 3 And all these officers of the king of Babylon came into Jerusalem and sat down at the Middle Gate: Nergal-Sharezer of the district of Samgar; Nebo-Sarsekim, a chief officer; Nergal-Sharezer, an important leader; and all the other important officers.
4 When Zedekiah king of Judah and all his soldiers saw them, they ran away. They left Jerusalem at night and went out from the king's garden. They went through the gate that was between the two walls and then headed toward the Jordan Valley. 5 But the Babylonian army chased them and caught up with Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. They captured him and took him to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who was at the town of Riblah in the land of Hamath. There Nebuchadnezzar passed his sentence on Zedekiah. 6 At Riblah the king of Babylon killed Zedekiah's sons and all the important officers of Judah as Zedekiah watched. 7 Then he put out Zedekiah's eyes. He put bronze chains on Zedekiah and took him to Babylon.
8 The Babylonians set fire to the palace and to the houses of the people, and they broke down the walls around Jerusalem. 9 Nebuzaradan, commander of the king's special guards, took the people left in Jerusalem, those captives who had surrendered to him earlier, and the rest of the people of Jerusalem, and he took them all away to Babylon. 10 But Nebuzaradan, commander of the guard, left some of the poorest people of Judah behind. They owned nothing, but that day he gave them vineyards and fields.
11 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had given these orders about Jeremiah through Nebuzaradan, commander of the guard: 12 "Find Jeremiah and take care of him. Do not hurt him, but do for him whatever he asks you." 13 So Nebuchadnezzar sent these men for Jeremiah: Nebuzaradan, commander of the guards; Nebushazban, a chief officer; Nergal-Sharezer, an important leader; and all the other officers of the king of Babylon. 14 They had Jeremiah taken out of the courtyard of the guard. Then they turned him over to Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan, who had orders to take Jeremiah back home. So they took him home, and he stayed among the people left in Judah.
15 While Jeremiah was guarded in the courtyard, the Lord spoke his word to him: 16 "Jeremiah, go and tell Ebed-Melech the Cushite this message: 'This is what the Lord All-Powerful, the God of Israel, says: Very soon I will make my words about Jerusalem come true through disaster, not through good times. You will see everything come true with your own eyes. 17 But I will save you on that day, Ebed-Melech, says the Lord. You will not be handed over to the people you fear. 18 I will surely save you, Ebed-Melech. You will not die from a sword, but you will escape and live. This will happen because you have trusted in me, says the Lord.'"
Listen to Jeremiah 39
39 1 In the ninth year of Zedekiah(A) king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar(B) king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his whole army and laid siege(C) to it. 2 And on the ninth day of the fourth(D) month of Zedekiah's eleventh year, the city wall(E) was broken through.(F) 3 Then all the officials(G) of the king of Babylon came and took seats in the Middle Gate: Nergal-Sharezer of Samgar, Nebo-Sarsekim a chief officer, Nergal-Sharezer a high official and all the other officials of the king of Babylon. 4 When Zedekiah king of Judah and all the soldiers saw them, they fled; they left the city at night by way of the king's garden, through the gate between the two walls,(H) and headed toward the Arabah.[a](I)
5 But the Babylonian[b] army pursued them and overtook Zedekiah(J) in the plains of Jericho. They captured(K) him and took him to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon at Riblah(L) in the land of Hamath, where he pronounced sentence on him. 6 There at Riblah the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes and also killed all the nobles(M) of Judah. 7 Then he put out Zedekiah's eyes(N) and bound him with bronze shackles to take him to Babylon.(O)
8 The Babylonians[c] set fire(P) to the royal palace and the houses of the people and broke down the walls(Q) of Jerusalem. 9 Nebuzaradan commander of the imperial guard carried into exile to Babylon the people who remained in the city, along with those who had gone over to him,(R) and the rest of the people.(S) 10 But Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard left behind in the land of Judah some of the poor people, who owned nothing; and at that time he gave them vineyards and fields.
11 Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had given these orders about Jeremiah through Nebuzaradan commander of the imperial guard: 12 "Take him and look after him; don't harm(T) him but do for him whatever he asks." 13 So Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard, Nebushazban a chief officer, Nergal-Sharezer a high official and all the other officers(U) of the king of Babylon 14 sent and had Jeremiah taken out of the courtyard of the guard.(V) They turned him over to Gedaliah(W) son of Ahikam,(X) the son of Shaphan,(Y) to take him back to his home. So he remained among his own people.(Z)
15 While Jeremiah had been confined in the courtyard of the guard, the word of the Lord came to him: 16 "Go and tell Ebed-Melek(AA) the Cushite, 'This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am about to fulfill my words(AB) against this city—words concerning disaster,(AC) not prosperity. At that time they will be fulfilled before your eyes. 17 But I will rescue(AD) you on that day, declares the Lord; you will not be given into the hands of those you fear. 18 I will save(AE) you; you will not fall by the sword(AF) but will escape with your life,(AG) because you trust(AH) in me, declares the Lord.'"

How to Hunt Deer
by Eric Orr - updated on 9/6/2021
Vitamin C Content
Health benefits of pine
Pine needles purportedly have three to five times more vitamin C than an orange, depending on what source you read, but there's no hard and fast rule for how much C is in a pine needle.
Regardless of the exact percentage, we know that pine needles and pine bark make an excellent natural vitamin C supplement.
At least they're potent enough to cure scurvy, a chronic condition caused by vitamin C deficiency that, left untreated, results in death.
One historical account relates the 1536 story of French explorer Jacques Cartier, whose crew was cured of scurvy with a tea of pine needles and bark given to them by the Iroquois after the crew suffered months of nutritional deprivation at sea.
Even though the crew boiled the decoction, which would have destroyed a significant portion of the vitamin C, there was still enough ascorbic acid and various amino acids to completely reverse their symptoms of scurvy.
It was such a dramatic change, the tree used for tea became known as "tree of life".
There's no way to determine exactly what species it was, but we know the tree of life was a conifer.
Eastern white pine is just one of the handful of candidates that could have been used.
The ascorbic acid (vitamin C) content of pine needles seems to vary significantly depending mainly on the species of pine and the age of the needles.
The Eastern white pine needles of this USDA Forest Service study had between 0.72 mg and 1.87 mg of ascorbic acid per gram of pine needles.
New needles had the lower concentration, while 1 year old needles had 1.18 mg of vitamin C per gram of needles, and 2 year old needles had as much as 1.87 mg.
According to the USDA, 100 g of orange has 53.2 mg of vitamin C, or .532 mg/g.
That puts pine needles at slightly more vitamin C for new needles, twice as much for 1 year old needles, and 3.5 times as much vitamin C for 2 year old needles.
The gist of the research is that ascorbic acid content increases with the age of the needles.
Does that mean older needles are best for pine needle tea? Not if you're after taste. Older needles make a stronger, bitter, more piney tasting tea, so if you want a milder, more delicate tea, look for brighter green young pine needles.
And don't boil them. Boiling not only destroys vitamin C, but it also releases more terpenes -- the organic compounds that make pine smell like pine--making more of a turpentine-like tea.
Other research indicates that balsam fir needles have significantly more vitamin C than white pine, so species matters, and the bark of white pine has more than needles. If you want a more potent brew of vitamin C, throw in some pine bark.
There are several species of pine that make suitable tea, but Eastern white pine (Pinus strobus) is one of the trees more commonly associated with pine needle tea, probably for its superior flavor.
Distinguishing traits of white pines:
White pine needles are typically 3-5" long and come in bundles of five, whereas yellow pine needle bundles only have two and, in some cases, three needles. However, it's not uncommon for a needle or two to be missing from a white pine bundle, so look over a few other bundles from the same tree if you're not sure.
White pine needles have a row of stomata which appears as a faint white line on the underside of the needle.
Although the color isn't necessarily unique to white pines, white pine needles are more of a blue-green rather than the purer green of some other pines.
Benefits of pine
There have been a number of studies done on the nutritional qualities and healing powers of pine needles and bark. Here are just a few:
(Antioxidant, antimutagenic, and antitumor effects of pine needles (Pinus desiflora)):
"These results demonstrate that pine needles exhibit strong antioxidant, antimutagenic, and antiproliferative effects on cancer cells and also antitumor effects in vivo and point to their potential usefulness in cancer prevention."
Cardiovascular health, antioxidant, immune function
(Comparison of methods for proanthocyanidin extraction from pine (densiflora) needles and biological activities of the extract):
"Flavonoids are known to be effective scavengers of free radicals. In particular, proanthocyanidins are flavonoids that possess cardiovascular protection, antioxidative activities, and immunomodulatory activities...In this study, we discerned an efficient extraction method to achieve relatively pure proanthocyanidins from pine needles and evaluated the biological functions of the resulting extract, which could potentially be used for its efficacious components in functional food products."
Potential treatment for anxiety, depression, and dementia
(Effect of new polyprenol drug ropren on anxiety-depressive-like behavior in rats with experimental Alzheimer disease):
"The obtained results...indicate that Ropren [a trademarked preparation based on extract of spruce and pine needles] is potentially active in the management of affective impairments in the experimental model under consideration. It also has a profound beneficial effect on the anxiety and depressive-like behavior in rats with model Alzheimer's type dementia, and thus may prove to be a novel natural treatment."
Avoid pines that aren't really pines. These include Yew pine (Podocarpus macrophylla) and Norfolk Island pine (Araucana heterophylla). And stay away from the highly toxic yew (genus Taxus).
Most sources warn of the potential dangers of pines like Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) and Lodgepole Pine (Pinus contorta), citing the possibility of abortion from drinking tea made with these species. And some sources say all pines could potentially cause abortion.
According to Green Deane Jordan of EatTheWeeds, pine needle tea drunk in moderation shouldn't cause any problems unless you're allergic to pine.
"The basis for this rumor is a veterinary study decades ago. If you are a cow and you eat many pounds of Ponderosa Pine needles you have a 5 to 8 percent chance out of 100 of having an abortion or still-birth. If you boil a huge amount of pine neeles [sic] in water for hours down to a small amount of gross liquid and you drink it, then maybe it would cause an abortion. A few of needles soaked in hot water is no threat to anyone except for possible allergies."
If you're worried about it, stick with tried and true Eastern white pine, and of course exercise moderation.
Cindy Halbkat
1/2 cup young, bright green Eastern white pine needles, chopped or cut with scissors into 1/2 inch lengths
Bring water to a boil in a stainless steel pan.
Add pine needles. The addition of the needles should bring the water temperature down below boiling.
For a milder tea, remove from heat and let steep for 15 to 20 minutes.
For a stronger tea, reduce heat and simmer -- don't boil -- for 20 minutes and remove from heat. Then cover and let sit overnight or continue to next step and serve.
Strain out pine needles, sweeten to taste, and serve tea hot or cold.
Make sure not to boil the pine needles in order to preserve the vitamin C and prevent the release of bitter terpenes. Vitamin C doesn't last long, so drink this tea as soon as possible.

Australia's "Australia Day" is said to be for everyone, but is it really?
Mosque Attack in Quebec City, Canada THE WWE ROYAL RUMBLE, THIS SUNDAY.
January 26th is a national holiday in Australia known as "Australia day", marking the arrival of the First Fleet of British Ships to Australia in 1788. Australia Day is usually celebrated with a day off from work, a nice lamb to cook, and a cold beer by the pool with the family. However the date of "Australia Day" is argued by many to be the wrong date although celebrations on this date are believed to go back as far as 1808, The aboriginal society argues that it's the date they were "invaded".
#Australia Day to most is a great national holiday that brings families together to enjoy the beauty and multiculturalism of the nation. However, some groups, many indigenous Australians, consider this date to be "Invasion Day", the day that the Europeans started its invasion of Indigenous land. Protests are held in many major cities around Australia. Protest turned ugly yesterday in Sydney during the national "Invasion Day March" through the inner-city when a police Officer was injured and a 20-year-old male was arrested in a brief scuffle when the 20 –year old man attempted to burn an Australian Flag.
The male was charged with damage to property, malicious damage, and assault on an officer, and was granted conditional bail to appear in court early next month.

DraftKings: The Game Within the Game
Second helping: The best second-round games in WVU hoops history
By Alex Hickey
March 23, 2020 - 7:25 am
West Virginia Mountaineers forward Sagaba Konate (50) reacts after he dunks in front of Marshall Thundering Herd guard Jarrod West (13) during the first half in the second round.
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — No March memories will be made this year, but NCAA tournament history is full of memorable moments for Mountaineer basketball.
Given the shortage of current games to watch, now is the perfect time to look back at West Virginia's top tournament showings.
We will provide a round-by-round synopsis of the best games. After starting with WVU's four most memorable first-round games, it's time to take a look at Round 2.
4. West Virginia 94, Marshall 71 (March 18, 2018) — San Diego
A 23-point blowout typically would not make for a memorable moment, but in this case the opponent changes the calculus.
As long as Bob Huggins and Dan D'Antoni are in charge of their respective programs, this game figures to be the final meeting between the Mountaineers and Thundering Herd on a basketball court. The pregame sniping between the two programs ended up being a lot more interesting than the game itself, which was dominated by West Virginia from the start.
Jevon Carter poured 28 points on the Herd, hitting 5 of his 7 three-point attempts. Lamont West came off the bench for a double-double with 18 points and 10 boards.
WVU finished 12 of 25 from behind the three-point line.
Because of the cancelation of this year's NCAA tournament, this remains West Virginia's most recent win in the tourney — and, of course, Marshall's most recent loss.
3. West Virginia 73, Duke 67 (March 22, 2008) — Washington, D.C.
To borrow a phrase from another Jim Nantz production, most of the nation tuning in every March to root for the team playing Duke is a tradition unlike any other.
In 2008, that honor went to the Mountaineers as Huggins reached the Sweet 16 in his first season at his alma mater.
Led by Joe Alexander's 22 points and 11 rebounds, seventh-seeded West Virginia rallied from a halftime deficit with a 44-point second half. It was a very lucrative showing for Alexander, who stunningly parlayed that performance into becoming the No. 8 overall pick in the NBA Draft.
Joe Mazzula nearly managed a triple-double for the Mountaineers, finishing with 13 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists off the bench.
2. West Virginia 75, Cincinnati 74 (March 14, 1998) — Boise, Idaho
There were some serious circle of life vibes in this one.
Gale Catlett was Cincinnati's coach before being hired by West Virginia in 1978. The arrival of Catlett was bad news for Joedy Gardner's staff, which included a young graduate assistant named Bob Huggins.
Exactly 20 years later, Catlett was still in Morgantown while Huggins was turning his old Cincinnati program into a national power. Heading into the '98 tourney, the Bearcats had reached the Elite Eight three times in the previous six seasons.
The second-seeded Bearcats were heavy favorites against the 10th-seeded Mountaineers, who had dispatched No. 7 Temple 82-52 in an absolutely stunning first-round blowout.
But West Virginia's miracle tournament run continued when Jarrod West banked in a three-pointer with 0.8 seconds remaining to lift the Mountaineers to the win. All 15 of his points came from beyond the arc.
WVU's run ended against eventual national runner-up Utah in the Sweet 16.
It was magic in a bottle. The Mountaineers would not reach the tournament again until 2005.
For the Bearcats, the shocking early exit foreshadowed the rest of Huggins' tenure. Cincinnati only advanced to the Sweet 16 once more in his remaining seven seasons with the program.
Huggs finally got his tournament groove back when he took over at West Virginia in 2007-08.
Oh, and remember the circle of life thing? It doesn't just involve Huggins and Catlett.
West's son, also named Jarrod, ended up playing for Marshall in the aforementioned 2018 second-round matchup between the Herd and Mountaineers.
1. West Virginia 111, Wake Forest 105, 2OT (March 19, 2005) – Cleveland, Ohio
This belongs on the short list for best second-round games of all-time, whether or not West Virginia was involved. Ten years after the fact, the Cleveland Plain-Dealer deemed it the best college basketball game ever played in Cleveland, and no one has threatened that mantle since.
Once again, the Mountaineers were a 7-seed playing a legitimate national title contender — second-seeded Wake Forest was led by dynamic point guard Chris Paul in what would be his final college game.
But the star of this game ended up being Cleveland-area native Mike Gansey, who scored 19 of his game-high 29 points in the two overtime periods.
That WVU made it as far as a first overtime felt unlikely when the Demon Deacons jumped to a comfy 50-37 halftime lead.
But behind a cavalcade of huge performances — 21 points from Tyrone Sally, 15 points and 10 rebounds from D'Or Fischer — the Mountaineers clawed back and then pulled away after Paul fouled out midway through the second overtime.
This was the tournament run that put West Virginia basketball back on the map, and the Wake Forest game was the most legendary piece in that journey.

One of the recommendations from the Carter Report in 2016 was for all trusts to adopt a rigorous policy for managing the demands of enhanced care, meaning the specialist care for specific patient needs. Lord Carter found vast variation in enhanced care practices and managing demand across acute trusts. The report highlighted e-rostering and recording and reporting staff deployment as key elements trusts had to develop for productivity gains, resource optimisation, and temporary staff management.
Gearing workforce management explicitly around patients' requirements has significant effects, as East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust has demonstrated. It has used e-rostering software to prioritise the care of patients and ensure the right staffing mix is available for its patients, transforming care for patients and reducing its agency spend on enhanced care duties by more than half.
East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust made dementia a priority when an internal review highlighted the need for improvements. The trust set up an enhanced nursing care team, which has improved patient care, safety and experience, while also saving the trust £144,000 in its first quarter against its forecast. This model has now been extended to include the care of adults and children with mental health problems.
The demand for enhanced care was increasing and costs were escalating.
The trust recruited a group of band three clinical support workers and provided specialist training to provide one-to-one enhanced care to inpatients, as the internal review identified that this area of care required significant improvement. With the support of e-rostering, patient monitoring software and training, the enhanced nursing care team implemented a virtual roster, rotating staff every three hours, thereby covering more clinical areas and patients with less staff than previously required.
Wards are now required to undertake patient risk assessments based on their levels of risk, confusion and delirium. These assessments are sent to the team to assess how best to care for these patients. The level of care they provide depends on the patient's risk. Care can range from patients receiving one-to-one care, to being placed in a bay with other high-risk patients who require constant monitoring with additional support, or they will put on Bay Watch, which is managed by ward staff establishing a tagging in and out system for a bay with lower-risk patients. This process is managed through the daily staffing and patient safety meeting, which provides oversight of the highest risk areas and appropriate deployment of staff.
The team can cover more patients for different time periods throughout the day. If a patient has a carer with them in the afternoon, or they sleep in the morning, other patients can be supported on other wards at these times. Staff can be moved around the hospital to the high-risk patients to meet the demand.
Technology was the key facilitator to this change in approach to enhanced care. Through its rostering system, which employees could access through their smartphones, the trust was able to deploy staff into the three-hour rotations. It also means that staff members can review where they are supposed to be working, allowing the team to respond in a timely manner.
Matron Emily Watts, from the enhanced nursing care team, who has analysed the team's work, says: "Before the enhanced care team was established, the standard procedure was to book an unregistered nurse for a 11-and-a-half-hour shift for a specific patient, on a specific ward when a patient was identified with enhanced care needs.
The team undertakes a daily patient review to clarify the need for the enhanced care requirement, or advise if there are alternative ways to manage the patient. The flexibility of the team means it can move to where there is greatest need.
Before the introduction of the team, agency staff without specialist training would be booked to sit with the patients and patients were kept in their beds with the cot sides up to keep them safe. The team is now proactive in promoting patients' independence and prevent deconditioning. Team members have the time to spend with the patients, ensure patients walk around if it is safe to do so and this improves patient dignity.
This closer monitoring and interaction with high-risk patients has resulted in a higher standard of care and has contributed to the reduction in length of patient stay in hospital and patient harm.
The trust has seen a bed days cost reduction of £25,000 between January and May 2017 (based on a cost per bed day of £500) through reducing the length of stay by approximately two days for patients with continuing healthcare needs after discharge from hospital. The team has enabled this through their comprehensive patient documents production, eliminating the need for wards to complete night-time diaries for a minimum period of 48 hours as part of the discharge assessment.
The enhanced nursing care team's knowledge of the patients in its care also means patients are more appropriately placed into their own homes with support, rehabilitation, and residential care or a nursing home. This improves the experience of their patients when they leave hospital.
Since the team was established in January 2016, of the 1,538 patients referred to the team there have only been three reported falls to date. The graph below shows the reduction in falls, which is the result of a wider improvement programme of which the team was a part of at the time.
Overall, the clinical and financial benefits from e-rostering and the introduction of the team include improving the visibility of patient numbers, working staff, available staff, and patient acuity levels. It has enabled efficient deployment and re-deployment of staff at the right place and time, with each member aware of any changes such as admission or discharge of patients and staff can move accordingly, with the help of mobile alerts.
This can be seen through a reduction in cost per whole time equivalent for the delivery of enhanced care from £2,352 in quarter one 2015 to £1,367 in quarter one 2016.
Creating the extra capacity through the enhanced nursing care team has seen the trust reduce its agency spend dramatically. In quarter one of 2016-17 the temporary staff spend was £225,322, compared to quarter one in 2017-18 of £83,463. This indicates a cost reduction of £141,859 for the quarter.
The three main learnings from East and North Hertfordshire's use of e-rostering to focus on patients' needs have been the tangible cost savings that came from the reduction in agency staff, an improved ability for the trust to plan its resourcing needs, and, most importantly, better clinical care and patient experience.


In 2014, former My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way released his debut solo album, Hesitant Alien. It was exciting to know he was still doing music stuff in a post-MCR world, but his heart lies with comic books these days. It looks like the guy is going to curate a DC Comics pop-up imprint called Young Animal, and we can't freaking wait.
"I saw it as an opportunity to create a big piece of art, or a big art project, with collaborators. I wanted to form this little group, like a band, and then make crazy art—take these characters to places they haven't been in a long time, but also new places. Personally, I think it's my job to get in there and completely mix it up, really take risks and all that. I think that's the job of everybody at Young Animal."
"That appeals to me. Stuff like that appeals to me. I can do my own books, and I love doing my own books, and they sell well, and I have a day job. If I do something, it's because I really have a lot of passion for it."
Read the full interview here. When you're done, flip through our complete guide to Hesitant Alien. There's probably more to the release than you realized!

He was one of the Honorary Presidents of mountain Wilderness
Following his ascent of Everest Edmund Hillary devoted much of his life to helping the Sherpa people of Nepal through the Himalayan Trust, which he founded. Through his efforts many schools and hospitals were built in this remote region of Nepal.
Chris Bonington
Sir Christian Bonington, CBE, is a legendary British mountaineer, one of the most famous alive.
He used to hold the title of Honorary President of Mountain Wilderness during the early days of the association
Among his most celebrated feats are fist ascents of the Ogre in Karakoram, Pakistan, the Central Tower of Paine, Patagonia, the south face of Annapurna, Nepal, the Changabang and Shivling in Garhwal Himalaya, India, and four ascents to Mount Everest
Reinhold Messner is widely recognized as the greatest mountaineer of all times.
He became universally famous for making the first solo ascent of Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen in 1978. His unparalleled list of achievements was crowned by becoming in 1986 the first climber ever to ascend all fourteen "eight-thousanders" and also the first to complete the "seven summits" challenge.
He was instrumental in the founding of Mountain Wilderness, taking part in the conference that launched the organization in Courmayeur in 1986.
Want to see Mountain Nature better protected? This is what we are striving for
The term "mountain wilderness" refers to any untouched mountain environment where anyone who so wishes may come into direct contact with the wide-open spaces, experience solitude, silence, rhythms, natural dimensions, laws and dangers. The essential value of wilderness lies, above all, in its potential to stimulate an intense creative relationship between civilized man and the natural environment. It is the degree of authenticity of this connection that gives this adventure its deeper meaning
This definition comes from the Biella thesis (1987), a foundation manifesto written at the origin of Mountain Wilderness which still drives the actions of the association.
Mountain Wilderness International (MWI) is an umbrella organization that facilitates communications and exchanges between the country organizations or chapters of Mountain Wilderness, where most of the action occurs. It coordinates and organizes international actions and is the official representative of the association in all international contexts with Governments and Non Governmental Organizations. (More here)
Mountain Wilderness is active in nearly 20 countries.

Original music composition and sound design creation for Cartier
Back on our original music and sound design creations for the "Celebrate with Cartier" campaign.
Mooders was asked by Creaminal (music supervision agency) to create the original music and sound design for the Cartier « Sound of Christmas » campaign. It has been ambitious artistic project, which required a real symbiosis between visual and sound productions. Used to work in the luxury industry, the duet of directors "Metz + Racine", was in charge of designing installations and film directing.
By borrowing the codes of Modern Art through the design of kinetic structures, the directors are offering a crystalline and refined universe, close to the brand image. This campaign is made up of 8 « capsule films » in which each highlights a product at the heart of the work : moving, elegant and poetic pictures, thought as unique sensory experiences.
The challenge of our work, as a composer-sound designer, rested on our ability to create a sensitive sound universe, a touch of magic that gives body to visual representations, while bringing the "Christmas" touch. The brief suggested to create a strong parallel between the visual installations and the sound sensations, produced in the manner of content called "ASMR" (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response).
Our answers in sound design
We had to experiment, work on the sounds by being able to use different sound treatments for each installation. The visual indicators were decisive while choosing the sounds : metal, smoke, crystal, geometric shapes…
Baubles Gravity was, for example, created from a tray on which balls were set in motion by being thrown by film crew. The base's curved shape fosters rotation of the balls and therefore the kinetics in this video. The metallic balls are harmonious and the end of the capsule appears as a resolution, as they meet around the watch.
All of them had a singularity of textures and materials that we had to translate into music and sound design. The experimental and minimalist aspect of the installations were also inspiring while composing this unique atmosphere.

The series was created and produced by theoldschool and executive produced by Robin Ashbrook and Yasmin Shackleton with co-executive producer Adam Cooper. According to an interview with PinkNews, Chung and France met at a Victoria Beckham party during London Fashion Week. France had already signed onto Next in Fashion and mentioned the role to Chung, who was "too drunk to realise" at the time. In a statement to Variety, Netflix's vice president of unscripted originals and comedy specials Brandon Riegg explained why it made sense for the company to venture into the fashion competition series category: Fashion is something that is really appealing and relatable, and so it made sense for us to get into that space considering our viewers around the world ... It is also an opportunity to gauge the fashion enthusiasm of fans and showcase some amazing talent and stories [from designers], the struggles and the victories, and help them elevate their own brand to the next level through the show. Riegg also discussed the importance of the show's global casting: "One of the core tenets of our approach to programming is having diversity, and diversity comes in lots of different forms; obviously we are a global platform ... But really it came to finding great characters with great story, and who are credible in the fashion space. And that was a big driver in terms of the casting. It just happened that we looked everywhere in looking for those qualities in the contestants and it allowed us to have more of a global group of contestants for this series in particular."

Masha Gessen describes Russia as a post-Communist Mafia State
Masha Gessen won the European book prize at the Leipzig Book Fair, by Kerstin Holm, Copyright, Franfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 22/3/2019. Translation - Hibernanscribe. Masha Gessen on Russia: The master of evil from Moscow.
She won the National Book Award: Masha Gessen describes Russia as a post-communist mafia state. Now she is honoured with the Leipzig Book Prize for European Understanding. Masha Gessen, the passionate fighter for democracy, education, human and especially gay rights, has emigrated twice from her first home country, Russia. Born into a Jewish Moscow family in 1967, she moved to the United States as a child with her parents in 1981 to escape Soviet anti-semitism, and went to Japan in 1991 as an American journalist. Russia became democratic under Boris Yeltsin. Russian media supported Masha Gessen, who owns a Russian and an American passport, she embraced the hopes of her westward departure; she found her life partner in Russia and adopted a Russian boy whose parents had died of AIDS. At the same time she documented in her books the reputational loss of the intelligentsia, paid homage to the feminist political "Pussy Riot", but also wrote a psychopolitical portrait of Vladimir Putin as a man driven by power, a greedy man who trusts only in violence and malice. The stealing of Yukos from Khodorkhovsky was corruption at the highest level which was televised live, confirming the Putin administration is a kleptocracy. Putin, as CEO of Yukos is allegedly the richest individual ever in history. Putin's kleptocracy is destined to collapse after decades of creeping stagnation.
In 1839, French nobleman Marquis de Custine described Russia: the political state of Russia is a country in which the government says what it pleases, because it alone has the right to speak...André Gide in 1936 described: Stalin's effigy is everywhere, his name is on every tongue...Is it adoration, love or fear? There is nothing like a stay in the USSR to help us appreciate the inappreciable liberty of thought still enjoyed in France.
Shortly after her book's release in 2013, she and her family relocated to New York City, fearing that her adopted son would be taken away as a result of new laws against homosexual propaganda and adoptions by Americans. In her latest book "The Future is History" Gessen explains how it came about that the achievements of the nineties, the economic liberalization, the re-emergence of long-banned human scientific disciplines in Russia were withdrawn. This lucid, strongly worded text, which interweaves family dramas, science journalism and political reportage, for which the author was awarded the Leipzig Book Prize for European Understanding. Russia is regressing into its own past, glorifying this past and destroying future hopes. This is shown by the example of four people born in the eighties and with whom they conducted intensive interviews. Two come from privileged families. But like Gessens' colleague Svetlana Alexievich, everyone is referred to by their first names only to emphasize their subjectivity.
Masha, a member of Pussy Riot
There is Serjoscha (Sergei's cousin), the grandson of the intellectual perestroika strategist Alexander Yakovlev, who was shocked by the return of the cult of leadership under Putin before his death in 2005. There is Shanna, the daughter of Boris Nemtsov, murdered in 2015 behind a snow plough by Putin. An opponent and former reform governor of Nizhny Novgorod, who was for a while the crown prince of Boris Yeltsin. Muscovite Masha relates her experiences in the "gray" financial economy by the protest punkers of Pussy Riot and various opposition leaders. In the comparatively safe time under Dmitry Medvedev, the homosexual Lyosha manages achieve a university career as a political scientist specializing in sexual minorities. The example of the psychoanalyst Marina Arutjunjan and the sociologist Lew Gudkow shows how the psychology and sociology suppressed by the Soviet power are re-established, not least with the support of Western colleagues. However, the reader also follows how the forward thinker of Russian reaction, Alexander Dugin, who taught at the Moscow State University until 2014, from the ideas of Carl Schmitt and Martin Heidegger forges his Eurasian-imperial anti-individualist ideology. As with many journalists who switched from the democratic to the nationalist camp, Dugin, a long-time philosophical advocate endured personal trauma in shaping his convictions. Gessen describes how his childhood sweetheart founded the first homosexual union of the Soviet Union - after which he had become a fervent nationalist.

"A mix of somber moments and charming wit, Reiter's collection makes space for humor in the maelstrom of navigating gendered experiences. Their poems synthesize recent historical moments and deeply personal anecdotes to create commentary that dares you to question binaries and social construction itself… Perhaps the most enjoyable part of these poems is the fantastical employment of choice diction and language. Each word is purposely placed- gems scattered where they're least expected." —American Library Association, Rainbow Round Table Reviews
From Sunshot Press/New Millennium Writings
"Jendi Reiter's expert stories scald with their fervor, vaporize with their stone-cold candor and ultimately distill the truth. Here are characters who reach out in need, then slap our hands back; who wound, cuss, love and resurrect the way we wish we could. Here is pitch-perfect prose that's both literary and forthright—that condenses unwieldy, unfathomable issues to workable, human proportions. Here is a writer in whom we can invest our time, our trust, our hope." —Soma Mei Sheng Frazier, author of the story collections Salve (Nomadic Press) and Collateral Damage: A Triptych (Ropewalk Press), founding editor of COG: A Multimedia Publication
From Saddle Road Press
Set in New York City in the early 1990s, Two Natures is the coming-of-age story of Julian Selkirk, a fashion photographer who struggles to reconcile his Southern Baptist upbringing with his love for other men. "[Julian] brings an outsider's wry and engaging sense of humor to his quest to make it in the New York City fashion world. His romp through gay men's urban culture also holds suffering, grief, pathos, and an ongoing struggle with the God of his childhood, as he comes of age during the height of the AIDS crisis. Though he gets distracted along the way—with politicians, preachers, drag queens, activists, Ironman gym buddies and sex, lots of sex—he never stops looking for real love to redeem him.. An entertaining novel and a pleasure to read." —Toby Johnson, author of Gay Spirituality and the novels Secret Matter and The Fourth Quill
From Little Red Tree Publishing
Now available in Apple iBooks and Amazon Kindle versions
Jendi Reiter's second full-length poetry book includes fine art photography by Massachusetts Cultural Council fellowship winner Toni Pepe. These poems speak of gendered embodiment and its discontents, motherhood after trauma, and finding a spiritual narrative to heal from oppressions both familial and political. Works in this collection won prizes from Alligator Juniper, Atlanta Review, Descant, New Millennium Writings, Solstice Lit Mag, Wag's Revue, and others. "In her remarkable collection of poems, Bullies In Love, Jendi Reiter has created a complex odditorium of characters with unique and often disturbing voices: poems peopled with bullies, the disenfranchised, monsters, prostitutes, criminals, the abused and forgotten, all searching for meaning, for faith and love in a postmodern, often cynical world." –Pamela Uschuk, American Book Award winner
From Červená Barva Press
Winner of the 2010 Červená Barva Press Poetry Chapbook Contest. "Barbie at 50 is a lush collection of poems with lines embroidered with the craft of a studied life. It's Barbie outdoing herself, leaving off the accursed weight of a 1950's perfectionism to discover the truth of genuine joy. These are poems of a life more real than any doll's, as they point up the grace of having confronted the problematic entanglements that attempt to derail a woman making her way through the puzzles of maturing…" –Afaa Michael Weaver, Kingsley Tufts Award winner
Published by Amsterdam Press; available from the author
Winner of the 2009 Flip Kelly Poetry Chapbook Prize. "The first thing that strikes the reader about Jendi Reiter's Swallow is, naturally, the unusual cover illustration, which appears at once to be a multi-eyed cherub (the proper Old Testament kind), a brace of clothespins, a flock of nightmare birds, sewing needles, bent nails, and a heart-shaped crown of thorns. While one may have a difficult time explaining all of this, one need only know that this image by Richard C. Jackson is the best visual realization of the horror, madness, blood, and beauty that infuse Reiter's work: Like something out of a fever dream, it just makes perfect sense." –JoSelle Vanderhooft, The Pedestal Magazine
