Is having too much control over your life a bad thing? Sumptuously shot and meticulously paced, Korean filmmaker Lee Chang-dong's Burning concerns a young writer reunited with a quirky, effusive woman from his childhood, for who he immediately falls. She then returns from a trip to Africa with a wealthy, mysterious young man in tow. The film is undeniably gorgeous, strewn with sequences of pure cinematic verve – a jazzy, drunken dance break, a greenhouse engulfed in flames. The film's sweltering tension and commitment to its lack of easy answers is commendable, but less so is its treatment of women. The character of Hae-mi while well-performed is let down by writing that paints her as the worst kind of male-driven sexual fantasy. She only really exists to develop the male characters' arcs and to allow the camera to artfully leer over her. For a film of such lofty ambitions and an evident desire to dig into themes of toxic male sexual obsession, its women aren't afforded their own agency. Narratively, the film runs out of steam in the second half, resolving its mysteries in a way that feels unearned. We exit Burning unsatisfied, and not necessarily in the way the filmmakers intended, its glimpses of profundity blazing brightly before disappearing all too quickly. Moments of utter beauty let down by problematic storytelling.

Review: Cry Wolf by Hans Rosenfeldt Posted on December 28, 2021 December 27, 2021 by Marlene Harris Cry Wolf: A Novel by Hans Rosenfeldt Source: supplied by publisher via NetGalley Genres: mystery, Nordic noir, suspense, thriller Series: Hannah Webster #1 Published by Hanover Square Press on December 28, 2021 A DEAD WOLF A DRUG DEAL GONE WRONG A LETHAL FEMALE ASSASSIN The first book in a new series by Hans Rosenfeldt, creator of the TV series The Bridge as well as Netflix’s Emmy Award–winning Marcella. Hannah Wester, a policewoman in the remote northern town of Haparanda, Sweden, finds herself on the precipice of chaos. When human remains are found in the stomach of a dead wolf, Hannah knows that this summer won’t be like any other. The remains are linked to a bloody drug deal across the border in Finland. But how did the victim end up in the woods outside of Haparanda? And where have the drugs and money gone? Hannah and her colleagues leave no stone unturned. But time is scarce and they aren’t the only ones looking. When the secretive and deadly Katja arrives, unexpected and brutal events start to pile up. In just a few days, life in Haparanda is turned upside down. Not least for Hannah, who is finally forced to confront her own past. The mystery in Cry Wolf and the solving of it read like they sit at the crossroads between “For want of a nail” and “This is the house that Jack built.” The former being the first line of a quote from Benjamin Franklin, and the latter being an English nursery rhyme. Both are cumulative stories, where one thing leads to another and another. Not necessarily in a straightforward or even competent fashion. No one comes out of this story exactly smelling of roses. There’s plenty of blame, misunderstanding, misdirection and downright incompetence involved along the way. At the same time, Cry Wolf also reads like a non-superhero based origin story for Black Widow, one in which she continues to put more red in her ledger until the day she dies, still doing the work of the “Red Room” – or in the case of Katja in Cry Wolf, “The Academy”. But those perspectives are long views of Cry Wolf, the latter of which seems most plausible at the ending. At the beginning there are two dead wolves with human remains in their bellies on the Swedish side of the border between Sweden and Finland outside the remote, fading town of Haparanda. The local cops, including Hannah Wester and her boss – and illicit lover – Gordon, start out worrying about how the discovery of the man-eating wolves is going to exacerbate local, regional and even national tensions over whether wolves should be protected or hunted to elimination in the region. But of course the case isn’t that simple. And this is where we get into the whole “For want of a nail” scenario. The wolves, a mother and cub, did not bring down human prey. They found a murder victim. It’s not that wolves are incapable of killing humans with enough motivation or desperation – it’s that wolves aren’t capable of shooting a gun. That lets the wolves off the hook, but the situation only expands from there. The murder victim was the sole survivor of a drug deal that went wrong on the other side of the border in Finland. He left the half dozen victims behind riddled with gunshots while he walked away with bags of drugs and money – and with a bullet in his ass. Only to be struck down by a hit and run driver who seems to have made off with the drugs and the money. Drugs and money that belong to the Russian mafia – who want their property back and intend to make an example of whoever got in their way. And that’s the point at which everyone’s competence goes more than a bit out of whack. The local police are out of their depth. Their liaison from the Finnish side is on the take from the Russians. The hit and run driver and his accomplice are locals who desperately need the money but only have vague dreams about how to handle things. And the agent the Russians send to Haparanda, a graduate of the legendary Academy that trains abused children to become assassins, isn’t able to overcome her initial overestimation of just how capable her opposition might be. She’s left floundering in professionalism as she’s overcome by sheer, dumb luck. While policewomen Hannah Wester tries to put her best into the investigation as her entire life falls apart. Escape Rating B+: Cry Wolf very much falls into the category of “Nordic noir”. In fact, the author of Cry Wolf is also the creative mind behind one of the more popular Nordic noir TV series, The Bridge. So readers who either like the series or like this branch of the mystery genre are going to feel right at home in Haparanda and Cry Wolf. The setting of this story is bleak and the lives of the principal characters seem even bleaker. That’s not criticism, as the bleakness is a hallmark of the genre. But, and a huge but here, this probably isn’t a book to read if you’re already depressed unless you’re the kind of person who really gets off on schadenfreude. There’s no one happy in this story. It’s not that kind of story. This also isn’t a story where anyone seems to display much in the way of competence, which is one of the things I often read mysteries for. In this particular case, it’s more like a series of accidents looking for places to happen – and then for someone to happen upon them. But I have to say that it’s compelling to read. I was hooked from the very first page, even if I never did figure out where it was going until near the end. Which, come to think of it, isn’t a surprise as none of the perpetrators seemed to know where they were going, either. And the few who thought they did ended up being surprised by where they ended up – and usually dead shortly thereafter. So the spooling and unspooling of this mystery reads more like a series of stumbles, rather than the usual breakneck race towards a finish. The part that’s sticking with me is that mirror darkly reflection of Black Widow. At first, we’ve got a policewoman whose life is falling apart and a mafia assassin and no relationship between them. But as the story progresses, in its kaleidoscope of first person perspectives, we learn more about the mysterious Katja and her abusive childhood and miraculous rescue by her equally mysterious “Uncle”. The more of Katja’s history we see, the more it looks like her life was rigged. That it might – and still might not – intersect with Hannah’s own tragedy looks like it’s going to power the next book in the series, whenever that might be. And I’m more than curious enough to want to see what happens next! Review: Pets in Space Sampler by S.E. Smith, Anna… Review: Death Shall Come by Simon R.

Germany will have a representative in the America's Cup for the first time after United Internet Team Germany beat the entry deadline by hours. The German team, sponsored by internet provider United Internet, was the 10th syndicate accepted to challenge Swiss holders Alinghi in 2007. "We're glad they beat the deadline," said an America's Cup spokesman. "Germany has a tremendous sailing heritage and has enjoyed success at all levels of yacht racing." The Germans will be led by Danish skipper Jesper Bank, a twice Olympic gold medallist and previous America's Cup skipper in 2002/3 with Victory Challenge. A challenge dossier from China Team also arrived shortly before the deadline and will be closely evaluated by the Societe Nautique de Geneve, the defending yacht club, before the team is accepted as a challenger. America's Cup holders Alinghi, of Switzerland, will race off against the winner of the Louis Vuitton Challenger Series in Spain. American syndicate BMW Oracle Racing, bankrolled by software billionaire Larry Ellison, is the so-called "challenger of record", the team that officially laid down the challenge to Alinghi for the next Cup. Former holders Team New Zealand, headed by Grant Dalton and skippered by Dean Barker, will feature Britain's two-time Olympic champion Ben Ainslie. Italy's entries comprise the +39 Challenge, which includes Briton Iain Percy, the Luna Rossa Challenge, and Team Capitalia, formerly Mascalzone Latino. South Africa will be represented by Team Shosholoza, France's entry is the K-Challenge, Victory Challenge is the Swedish team and Desafio Espanol will race for Spain. There is no entry from Britain after Peter Harrison's GBR Challenge folded in November 2004 due to a lack of partner sponsors. A series of regattas, or "Acts", are scheduled for the run-up to the challenger series in 2007 to boost the event's profile and provide competitive testing conditions for the teams.

Some times we need to manage more than one ssh key. There may be many scenario like you are having more than 2 github account or you have an account and your client want to add your ssh key to their github account. In past I faced same kind of issue and found solution. ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/keyname -C "keyname" Now you can add new ssh key to new git account. And both key will work. For git account it will give the preference to “keyname” key and if auth will fail then it will try to another key. By following about step we can mange multiple key.

Q: Is there such a thing as a "typical" or "de facto" default for MTU size? * *When writing networking software, is there a default, typical, or otherwise de facto standard for MTU size, of which I should be aware? If so, what is it? *Is an MTU size of 1500 (as suggested here: What is the Maximum MTU supported in DSL Standards) a good rule of thumb? *Also, am I over thinking this problem? Is this one of those things people think is important when writing networking software, but in practical, real-world terms, doesn't wind up mattering much since TCP will take care of the details for you? I ask here, rather than on StackOverflow, because I want the sysadmin point of view when it comes to actual support issues related to MTU size. UPDATE: based on some of the feedback, and initial answers, I'm narrowing the focus a bit: * *The application I'm writing will communicate between desktops/servers over a WAN connection *It's typical desktop/server (i.e. not mobile) software, and while it's possible that a tethered laptop will use this software over a mobile network, I'm not concerned with that *It won't even attempt to deal with any layer of the TCP stack, other than the application layer, for optimization *VPN overhead can be ruled out for the scope of this question A: That's a fairly broad question. Is 1500 common? Yes, absolutely, for traditional ethernet on a LAN. Is it safe to assume 1500 or expect it for any connection? No. Mobile users that connect from anywhere may have different MTU's at different times. We sometimes reduce MTU for datacenter servers that may provide services to remote offices over a VPN connection. VPN connections in general will most likely have a reduced MTU, and those are all over the place. It could be 1410, 1390, 1362, or some other curious number. If you are interested in the max payload size for a given tcp connection, you would probably find the negotiated Maximum Segment Size more meaningful. For a standard 1500 MTU LAN connection, that would typically be 1460, but the upshot is it should reflect the size that is acceptable to both hosts. For connections that traverse many hops, it may be unrealistic to expect that all hops have a "standard" MTU, or that MTU can be reliably determined. See Path MTU Discovery discussions on the topic. Path MTU Discovery http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_MTU_discovery#Problems_with_PMTUD Circumventing Path MTU Discovery issues with MSS Clamping http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.cookbook.mtu-mss.html A: In answer to: * *It's hard to answer this, because there is always going to be a summary of things that impact software performance when it touches the network. An MTU optimized for switchport to switchport communication won't do you much good over a WAN link or worse yet a VPN which is going to add overhead and potentially fragmentation. *Yes, but you can't really control what's upstream in all situations! *Yes you are overthinking it, are you really writing software thats going to reach back down into layer 2 for optimization? If you were writing say... an iSCSI driver then yes you're probably going to need to consider things like this. A: You should not care about the MTU as the network stack will take care of the necessary optimizations. If you are using TCP, the stack may use methods for the calculation of the Maximum Segment Size (MSS) which in turn ideally is going to result in packets that are smaller than the lowest MTU in the path. One of them is PMTU discovery. In general, you should not try to outsmart the stack - the layered architecture of TCP/IP employs the abstractions for good reasons. Unless you have better ones, you should leave the functionality of segmentation and fragmentation where it has been designed to be. As others have written, there is no "safe MTU" to assume aside from the minimum defined MTU for IP packets - which is 68 bytes and thus has rather low practical value due to the enormous overhead. Typical support issues due to MTU limitations are mainly twofold: * *unnecessary fragmentation and thus higher protocol overhead and higher latencies for ping-pong protocols *broken transmissions due to ignorant firewall admins filtering ICMP and thus breaking PMTU discovery along the path Both factors are nothing you should be dealing with in an application. A: Stick to the requirements of the protocol, and assume you can pass the data easily. However, try to avoid using fixed length blocks just over the MTU or a small multiple of it. * *Default MTU is 1500 which is the maximum value usable on the Internet. Smaller values may be required when tunneling traffic. Most traffic will be fragmented and reassembled it it exceeds the maximum available MTU on the link. Only if the DNF (Do Not Fragment) option is set must the packets be less than or equal to the MTU. The local MTU sets an upper limit for the usable MTU. *As most hosts have an MTU of 1500. It is a good default value to use. Some ISPs provide links using tunneling protocols like PPPOE which provide a smaller MTU. Likewise many IPv6 early adopters may be using a tunnel and may have a smaller MTU. *You are most likely over thinking the problem. In the real world, you can't rely on the local MTU to determine the link's MTU. Nor can you count on it being a static value. If required packets will be fragmented and reassembled. For example block size for NFS is typically 4096, and are usually sent in fragments.

Understanding countries through maps You see, but you do not observe. The distinction is clear. - Sherlock Holmes to Watson Active or deep interpretation of maps is a subject that isn't taught nearly enough in schools, which is a bit of a pity as recognizing maps as clues to a country's character can give students an interest in geography they've never had before. Simply taking a good look at a map of a country compared to the other areas nearby is often enough to give one a good idea of what sort of geopolitical situation it happens to be in, and in many cases a good enough understanding of this can aid in even predicting the future between two or more countries. Here are a few examples of some simple ways to read maps. First of all, a perfectly straight border between countries. Sometimes that can denote friendship between two countries, where a certain latitude or longitude is set as a common border, after which there is no fighting over it. It can also mean that the land between two countries simply isn't worth fighting over or too hard to manage. Here are a few examples from countries that border each other right in the middle of the Sahara Desert. Compare those borders to the much less straight ones up north - Tunisia, and Morocco. And after the Sahara ends in the south the borders become curvy again. A generally straight border that nevertheless keeps twisting back and forth will usually mean a mountain range: or a river (border of Mexico and Guatemala): You can also tell quite a bit about a country's situation by geographical oddities. Take a look at this map: Democratic Republic of the Congo is located mostly in the centre of the continent, but for some reason suddenly juts out to the west all the way to the ocean. Nations with access to the sea generally have it in a way not all that different from their other borders (a natural result of a nation's position), but when a large nation has a particularly tiny piece of access to the sea it usually means some sort of diplomatic resolution, without which it could have been landlocked. In Dem Rep Congo's case it was given this strip of land in 1885 by the Berlin Conference. Exclaves are also oddities. Kaliningrad is an obvious example. Kaliningrad is part of Russia, but since the fall of the Soviet Union it has been an exclave completely surrounded by other countries, now the European Union. Supplies sent to Kaliningrad from Russia have to cross two borders - Latvia and Lithuania, Belarus and Lithuania, or Belarus and Poland. The existence of an exclave can sometimes mean political instability if the host country is lacking in influence, as the geographic isolation alone can lead those living there to conclude that it would be better to separate. The area enclosed by the red circle is an exclave of Angola called Cabinda, where there was a conflict between the government and a secessionist movement there until a ceasefire was signed in 2006. The same can be seen in areas of land that aren't technically exclaves but still a bit odd compared to the rest of the geography of a country. Looking a bit south you can see a strip of land stretching eastward from Namibia where you wouldn't normally expect its borders to extend. That place is called Caprivi and unsurprisingly there's a conflict there too between the country and a secessionist group. The presence of a landlocked country where you wouldn't expect one will usually imply resentment or bad blood between one country and another. Take a look at Ethiopia: You'll notice that Ethiopia one of the only countries in the area without access to the sea. Somalia has it, Kenya has it, Sudan has it...Ethiopia doesn't. The reason for that is the country located just to the north: Eritrea, which used to be a part of Ethiopia until it became independent in 1993 after 31 years of war with each other. Not surprisingly, the two countries do not get along with each other. Bolivia has a bit of a similar situation, though the conflict that caused it was much less recent (19th century). Nevertheless, access to the sea is still blamed for a lot of problems in Bolivia and there is a Day of the Sea celebrated each year in the country to remember the former coastline the country had. There are dozens and dozens more ways to guess the geopolitical situation of a country through maps alone, but the above should suffice for now since the post has gotten a bit long (feel free to add your own in the comments below though). I'll end off with one more interesting one. Here's Indonesia: Then Vanuatu: And the Philippines. What do they all have in common? They are all island countries, with a huge number of regional languages, but with one language that more or less unifies the country. Well, with the Philippines it's two (Tagalog and English). The reason for this is that it's simply impossible to manage a country of this type without a unifying language. Countries like Spain are usually able to get by with a number of languages with regional autonomy, but Vanuatu has 200 languages over a population of only a bit over 200,000, and administering this in the same manner would simply be impossible. Posted by 데이빛 / Mithridates at 6:50 PM Labels: geography, languages, politics I really enjoyed this post! It really made me think... these national borders that often seem so arbitrary reveal much about the political state of the involved parties. Thanks for sharing your observations. The first point made me immediately think of North and South Korea's ceasefire along the 38th parallel. I also linked to this from a post in my own blog, but I don't know how to do a pingback. My link's here: http://cbae.wordpress.com/2009/08/28/understanding-map/ 데이빛 / Mithridates said... You know, there's another interesting situation there - the island of Baengnyeongdo (백령도) is quite far north of the DMZ and right across the bay from North Korea but is South Korean territory (I was actually there for a week in 2003). There are a lot of people there with family in the North, because until the two were divided they were part of Hwanghae-do and could get to the mainland quite easily. In that way that border is a bit artificial, though note that here artificial is actually a very good thing for them. Having spent some time there I always feel a bit sad that the islands in the west never get mentioned as much as Dokdo. You almost never see them on the map even though Baengnyeongdo is almost as big as Ulleungdo. Could you, or one of your readers, perhaps recommend a book on this subject? I've also spent a bit of time wandering the earth courtesy of Google, and have often come up with things that have made me say, "Hey, I wonder what the story behind *that* is!?!?" Love your blog, by the way... Tough this artice mentons the facts and soe ofthe situatios in and, found it to be very shalow. "You'll notice that Ethiopia one of the only countries in the area without access to the sea. Somalia has it, Kenya has it, Sudan has it...Ethiopia doesn't. The reason for that is the country located just to the north: Eritrea, which used to be a part of Ethiopia until it became independent in 1993 after 31 years of war with each other. Not surprisingly, the two countries do not get along with each other." The article mentions that eritrea was part of ethiopia. which is a 50 year history. but, in no way try to tell how it became part of ethiopia. for any one intrested to know about eritrea, please read a book called "I didn't do it for you" by Michael Wrong. http://kaliningrad-eu.blogspot.com/ How many other people want independence? nikiman said...

The FEMA director for the island said continuing aid would negatively affect Puerto Rico's economy. FEMA says it will end food and water aid to hurricane-stricken Puerto Rico on Wednesday. NPR reports islanders have depended on the aid since Hurricane Maria, which made landfall in September. Many Puerto Ricans remained without electricity for months after the storm. About 30 percent of the island's residents still don't have electricity. Alejandro De La Campa, the local FEMA director, said: "If we're giving free water and food, that means that families are not going to supermarkets to buy. It is affecting the economy of Puerto Rico." FEMA says it's distributed more than 30 million gallons of water and almost 60 million meals to the island since Maria.

Q: Classify each case in dataframe with significant groups (or clusters) in stratified data I am needing to cluster (perhaps k-means) a dependent variable (Value) considering stratification by two independents (Country; Year); and at the end classify each df case (example top, middle and bottom). df structure: df <- structure(list(Country = c("B", "B", "B", "B", "B", "B", "B", "B", "B", "B", "E", "E", "E", "E", "E", "E", "E", "E", "E", "E"), Year = c(2019L, 2019L, 2019L, 2019L, 2019L, 2020L, 2020L, 2020L, 2020L, 2020L, 2019L, 2019L, 2019L, 2019L, 2019L, 2020L, 2020L, 2020L, 2020L, 2020L), Value = c(64, 48, 20, 49, 43, 39, 32, 56, 36, 32, 70, 45, 36, 40, 34, 72, 49, 54, 26, 16)), class = c("tbl_df", "tbl", "data.frame"), row.names = c(NA, -20L)) What I have done so far: library(tidyverse) df %>% group_by(Country, Year, .add = TRUE) %>% group_split() %>% map_df( ~ .x %>% mutate(cluster = kmeans(.x[, c('Value')], 3)$cluster)) However, I am concerned that group stratification is not being incorporated. In my real df the message is returned: Warning: did not converge in 10 iterations

Alvar Aalto (1898-1976) Hugo Alvar Henrik Aalto was born in Kuortone near Jyvävaskylä, the son of J H Aalto, a surveyor. Alvar Aalto seems to have been strongly influenced by his maternal grandfather, Hugo Hamilkar Hackstedt, who was a forester and teacher at the Evo Forest Institute south of Tampere and had a wide range of technical and intellectual interests. The family were clearly well established, part of the professional establishment, and spoke Swedish. When Alvar was five, they moved to Jvväskylä, 20 km north of Helsinki, which was important for the reputation of its schools - the town, home of the poet Elias Lönrot, was described as The Athens of Finland. After passing the matriculation exams, Aalto trained at the Technillinen Korkeakoulu in Helsinki from 1916 until 1921 and he established his own office in 1923. His first major commissions were for the Viipuri Library 1927-1935 - since 1947 the town has been in Russia and is now known as Vyborg - and the Tuberkulosis Sanitorium in Paimio 1929-1933. For these early buildings Aalto also designed furniture and fittings and he set up the furniture company Artek in 1935, in partnership with his wife Aino Marsio, with the art historian and writer Nils-Gustav Hahl and Marie and Harry Gullichsen, to market some of these designs. An early commission to design a major house was the Villa Mairea, Noormakku that dates from 1938. Through the 1940s he taught at MIT, first as a research fellow and then with a Professorship. While teaching in the States, he designed Baker House, student dormitories, in Cambridge, Massachusetts 1947-1949. Returning to Finland at the end of the War, major commissions included the Town Hall in Säynätsalo and the Institute of Technology in Espoo 1949-1974.

Beam lift for A90 Stonehaven Bridge this weekend Published: 11:39 Tuesday 24 October 2017 Five 40m beams which will form the new A90 northbound carriageway at Stonehaven are expected to be lifted into place this weekend, as part of the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR) project. In preparation for the beam lift, the B979 Netherley Road is expected to close from 8pm on Friday 27 October until 6am on Monday 30 October to enable the crane to be positioned, the beams to be installed and the crane to be dismantled. These works are weather dependent and therefore may be subject to change. Diversions will be signposted. Road users heading north from Stonehaven should travel via the B979 David Street, Allardice Street and then the A957 Bridgefield, Dunnottar Avenue up to Glasslaw Junction. They should then turn right onto the A92, which leads to the A90. Road users heading south into Stonehaven on the B979 Netherley Road should turn left at B979 Mains of Ury to join the A90 heading north towards Aberdeen. They should then leave the A90 at the Newtonhill flyover junction and re-join the A90 heading south, taking the first exit to Stonehaven, U90K Den of Logie Road. The A90 will remain open, with one lane of traffic travelling in each direction, subject to a 30mph speed restriction. Road users travelling northbound will be diverted onto the A90 southbound carriageway. Continuous travel will be provided for road users travelling southbound using the newly constructed slip roads. The beams will be installed in three lifts, overnight on Saturday 28 October and Sunday 29 October. The A90 mainline will be brought to a complete halt on each night for around 15 minutes to allow the beams to be safely lifted into position. These will take place overnight when traffic is at its lightest. There will be no access to the A90 from the B979 via the new southbound slip road during these closures. For safety reasons, it will not be possible to permit through access for pedestrians or cyclists on the B979 Netherley Road; however, a minibus will be available to provide transfers to the other side of the closure via the diversion. Further overnight closures of the B979 are expected to take place between 10pm and 6am on Monday 30 October, Tuesday 31 October and Wednesday 1 November, to allow the contractor to undertake works at the sides of the new bridge section. During these overnight closures, diversions will be in place as detailed above, with the exception of the new A90 southbound slip road which road users will be able to access from the Stonehaven side of the B979 closure. A Transport Scotland spokesperson said: “This is a significant milestone for Stonehaven. These beams are a key part of the new junction, forming a new bridge that will provide additional width for the B979 below and allow the junction to operate effectively. “The contractor has been working closely with Police Scotland and the local authorities to ensure anyone who needs to use this section of the B979 Netherley Road over this weekend and during the following overnight closures has an alternative available to them, while maintaining the safety of road users and road workers. “We ask that road users who would normally use this route to plan their journeys in advance, and consider giving themselves additional travelling time, so that they can reach their destination safely and on time. “We would like to thank road users and the local community for their on-going support and patience during the construction works.” New campaign reminds all road users to #LightUp

Raise your hand if your idea of a good time is sticking your nose in a book and ignoring reality. If so, than you are my kind of people. But I know finding a good book can be hard, and finally picking one just to find it is a dud can be seriously annoying. So I have round up a few of the books I have recently read and along with the synopsis of each book I will share whether you should take it or leave it. Synopsis: Everyone knows a couple like Jack and Grace. He has looks and wealth; she has charm and elegance. He’s a dedicated attorney who has never lost a case; she is a flawless homemaker, a masterful gardener and cook, and dotes on her disabled younger sister. Though they are still newlyweds, they seem to have it all. You might not want to like them, but you do. You’re hopelessly charmed by the ease and comfort of their home, by the graciousness of the dinner parties they throw. You’d like to get to know Grace better. My verdict, Take It! This story was a little different form what I would normally read and even though it was seriously disturbing at times it was an easy read that kept me hooked until it was over. Synopsis: In their hometown of Five Fingers, Michigan, the O'Donnells and the Angerts have mythic legacies. But for all the tall tales they weave, both founding families are tight-lipped about what caused the century-old rift between them, except to say it began with a cherry tree. Eighteen-year-old Jack “June” O’Donnell doesn't need a better reason than that. She's an O'Donnell to her core, just like her late father was, and O'Donnells stay away from Angerts. Period. But when Saul Angert, the son of June's father's mortal enemy, returns to town after three mysterious years away, June can't seem to avoid him. Soon the unthinkable happens: She finds she doesn't exactly hate the gruff, sarcastic boy she was born to loathe. Saul’s arrival sparks a chain reaction, and as the magic, ghosts, and coywolves of Five Fingers conspire to reveal the truth about the dark moment that started the feud, June must question everything she knows about her family and the father she adored. And she must decide whether it's finally time for her—and all of the O'Donnells before her—to let go. Umm Yes! Take It! Seriously this is one of my favorite books I have read in awhile. Synopsis: The Glass Castle is a remarkable memoir of resilience and redemption, and a revelatory look into a family at once deeply dysfunctional and uniquely vibrant. When sober, Jeannette’s brilliant and charismatic father captured his children’s imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and how to embrace life fearlessly. But when he drank, he was dishonest and destructive. Her mother was a free spirit who abhorred the idea of domesticity and didn’t want the responsibility of raising a family. The Walls children learned to take care of themselves. They fed, clothed, and protected one another, and eventually found their way to New York. Their parents followed them, choosing to be homeless even as their children prospered. This is an absolute Take It! I read this book in 24 hours and can't wait to see the movie! In the aftermath of her financier husband’s suicide, Emma Shay Compton’s dream life is shattered. Richard Compton stole his clients’ life savings to fund a lavish life in New York City and, although she was never involved in the business, Emma bears the burden of her husband’s crimes. She is left with nothing. Only one friend stands by her, a friend she’s known since high school, who encourages her to come home to Sonoma County. But starting over isn’t easy, and Sonoma is full of unhappy memories, too. And people she’d rather not face, especially Riley Kerrigan. Riley and Emma were like sisters—until Riley betrayed Emma, ending their friendship. Emma left town, planning to never look back. Now, trying to stand on her own two feet, Emma can’t escape her husband’s reputation and is forced to turn to the last person she thought she’d ever ask for help—her former best friend. It’s an uneasy reunion as both women face the mistakes they’ve made over the years. Only if they find a way to forgive each other—and themselves—can each of them find the life she wants. I picked this book up and put it back down a few times but once I gave it a serious chance I was hooked. I would defiantly say Take It. Sam and Clementine have a wonderful, albeit busy, life: they have two little girls, Sam has just started a new dream job, and Clementine, a cellist, is busy preparing for the audition of a lifetime. If there’s anything they can count on, it’s each other. Clementine and Erika are each other’s oldest friends. A single look between them can convey an entire conversation. But theirs is a complicated relationship, so when Erika mentions a last-minute invitation to a barbecue with her neighbors, Tiffany and Vid, Clementine and Sam don’t hesitate. Having Tiffany and Vid’s larger-than-life personalities there will be a welcome respite. Two months later, it won’t stop raining, and Clementine and Sam can’t stop asking themselves the question: What if we hadn’t gone? Honestly, I could Take It or Leave It. I don't regret reading its but I wasn't left missing it when it was done either. A true story in which the keepers of the Warsaw Zoo saved hundreds of people from Nazi hands. After their zoo was bombed, Polish zookeepers Jan and Antonina Zabinski managed to save over three hundred people from the Nazis by hiding refugees in the empty animal cages. With animal names for these "guests," and human names for the animals, it's no wonder that the zoo's code name became "The House Under a Crazy Star." Best-selling naturalist and acclaimed storyteller Diane Ackerman combines extensive research and an exuberant writing style to re-create this fascinating, true-life story―sharing Antonina's life as "the zookeeper's wife," while examining the disturbing obsessions at the core of Nazism. Save yourself and LEAVE IT! I couldn't even finish this one. I hope you enjoy this post, and please leave me a list of your favorite reads. A girls to be read pile can never be to large.

Navarro 4-H/FFA presenter Grace Vogel takes a break with her pigs — Granger the duroc, and spotted hampshire Dottie — during the Guadalupe County Youth Show on Thursday, Jan. 17, 2019 at the Seguin Events Complex. Felicia Frazar - Seguin Gazette Students set for county youth show The barns at the Seguin Events Complex will fill up as area children put their 4-H and FFA projects on display. The Guadalupe County Youth Livestock and Homemakers Show begins Wednesday and ends on Saturday with the premium auction. The event officially kicks off show season for the children in Guadalupe County. This year judges will see about 1,475 entries of animals, baked goods, handiworks, photos and agricultural mechanics projects, GCYS President Dustin Morgenroth said. “They students will come to the show and get their projects judged on different characteristics,” he said. “From that, we sell 75% of the entries in a premium auction on Saturday. That money helps these kids fund their future projects and maybe put some money away for college.” In the livestock show, students will present their steers, pigs, goats, lambs, chickens, turkeys and rabbits. In the show ring, the students will display these projects they’ve worked with for several months, Morgenroth said. “Showing is really a good opportunity for the kids to get involved, learn responsibility with taking on projects,” he said. “Some of these people have had steers for eight to 12 months. It takes a lot of work for these kids to get these animals ready for show. You have some projects that are shorter like rabbits, broilers take about six weeks, turkeys are like a four-month project, pigs and goats are a four- to five-month project.” Morgenroth, who serves as a judge at several other shows across the state, said it’s easy to tell when students spend long hours working with their projects. “There is a direct correlation to the amount of time these kids spend with their projects to how good they do,” he said. “The ones that spend the most time and work the hardest at it will typically be your top performing at the stock shows. The ones that put the minimal effort that barely feed and water them enough, they’re just not going to have near the quality of animal.” The same goes for the homemaking entries, baked goods and ag mechanic projects, Morgenroth said. “This teaches the kids responsibility and work ethic,” he said. “You get what you put in it. It is a great opportunity to learn leadership examples. It forces children to be sociable, get off the phones, put down the technology. They have to talk to people, communicate, take care of the things they need to do to get their entries in.” While the students take their projects to the auction ring on Saturday, they don’t necessarily have to part with them. Some of the larger animals will move on to the major shows. The event is open for the public to attend, and Morgenroth encourages everyone to come out and support the children, either by cheering them on in the show ring or placing a bid at the auction. “Anyone is welcome to walk up and register as a buyer. They can do it the day of the event,” he said.

Exploring the Truth The Baptist Faith and Message Begin a relationship with Jesus Exploring the Truth Exploring the Truth of God's Grace Tag: 4 Horsemen Riders of Judgment- The Red, Black, and Pale Horses (Sermon Notes) By Matt Sherro | August 10, 2020 | Comments 0 Comment Lesson Text- Revelation 6:3-8 The three remaining horsemen are personifications of the events that unfold under the reign of Antichrist- war, famine and pestilence, disease/plague, and death The red horse brings war and conflict. Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth: This rider didn’t need to bring war and destruction. All he needed to do was take peace from the earth. The false peace that the Rider on the White Horse brings in is very short lived. Doubtlessly, world leaders still trying to cope with the Rapture think they have been under some kind of attack and, despite the best efforts of the Conquering Imitator, the rumblings of war begin. Though the chief architect of the false peace, when wars break out all over the world he will have no choice but to resort to war himself in order to preserve his authority and power. Antichrist will be as skillful at war as he was at promoting the false peace. Daniel 8:24 describes his career as a warrior: “He will destroy to an extraordinary degree and prosper and perform his will; he will destroy mighty men and the holy people.” Among his victims will be many of God’s people (cf. 6:9; Matt. 24:9). And it was granted: This authority was granted to the horseman. This is, directly or indirectly, the judgment of God. a great sword was given to the rider. Machaira (sword) refers to the short, stabbing sword a Roman soldier carried into battle. It was also a weapon used by assassins. The vision depicts a great sword to describe the extent of the war. Antichrist’s false peace, then, will dissolve in a maelstrom of battle, assassination, rebellion, revolt, and massacre. That people should kill one another: Our modern age is marked by war and conflict. Since World War II, there have been more than 150 wars of some kind in the world, and at any given time there may be some three dozen armed conflicts taking thousands of lives yearly. The nations of the world often spend more than $1 trillion on military expenditures a year. This begins the largest holocaust in human history-unimaginable slaughter on a scale never seen before. The black horse brings scarcity and inequity. John’s use of the word behold reveals how startled and shocked he was by the rider’s ominous appearance. The color black is associated with famine in Lamentations 5:10 (KJV). Famine is a logical consequence of worldwide war as food supplies are destroyed and those involved in food production are killed. Jesus also predicted this future famine in Matthew 24:7: “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes.” God has used famine as a means of judgment in the past (e. g., Lev. 26:26; Deut. 32:24; 2 Kings 8:1; Ps. 105:16; Isa. 3:1; Jer. 16:4; Ezek. 4:16-17; 5:16; 14:13; Hag. 1:11), but this will be the most devastating famine in all of human history. A black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand: The scales symbolize the need to carefully measure and ration food. This speaks of a time of scarcity. Scarcity is probably a kind understatement. As the entire world plunges into war and skirmishes the food supply and thus the economies of a host of nations is obliterated. As in the United States during the Depression, in Europe in the aftermath of World War II, and today in many war-torn third-world nations, there will be starving people standing in food lines. But they will not find enough food to live on, as the fourth seal in John’s vision reveals. Following the appearance of the black horse and its rider, John heard something like a voice in the center of the four living creatures. Since the four living creatures were stationed around the throne (4:6), this, most certainly, is the voice of God, the One sitting on the throne (4:2-3). I cannot find a logical alternative. Therefore, God speaks here as a reminder that the famine is a direct judgment from Him. Could it be more clear? Is there possibly a more exacting reference in Scripture that refutes the idea that a “loving God” does not judge? A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius: These prices are about twelve times higher than normal. It means that it would cost a day’s wage to buy the ingredients for a loaf of bread. This describes “a time of famine when life will be reduced to the barest necessities.” (Walvoord) We often see great famine in the world today, yet fewer people suffer from hunger today than 100 years ago. However, understanding the world’s precarious ecological balance, it would not take much to plunge many into the kind of scarcity and inequity mentioned here. Do not harm the oil and the wine: Yet, the nicer things will be available for those who can afford them. There will still be the oil and the wine that should not be harmed. The disparity between rich and poor now comes to its ultimate expression as the poor will not even be able to buy bread while the rich still have their oil and wine (a metaphor of the niceties of life). It, frankly, beggars the imaginations to contemplate the hostility that these disparities create. The pale horse brings death. A pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death: This last rider shows that there will be a tremendous death toll from the dictatorship, war, famine and other calamities described by the previous three horsemen. John described the final horse as an ashen horse. Chlōros (ashen), from which the English words “chlorophyll” and “chlorine” derive, refers to a sickly, pale, yellow-green color. It describes green vegetation in its only other New Testament uses (8:7; 9:4; Mark 6:39). The horse’s color vividly portrays the pale-green pallor of death characteristic of the decomposition of a corpse. Fittingly, the rider who sat on it had the ominous name Death. Death on a massive scale is the inevitable consequence of widespread war and famine. In this macabre and terrifying scene, John saw Hades … following with Death. Hades (here representing the grave) becomes, as it were, the grave digger, burying the remains of Death’s victims. Death and Hades are also paired in 1:18 and 20:13, 14. Our modern age has seen hundreds of millions killed by dictators, war, and famine. Yet all that will pale in comparison to the death toll coming in the wake of this ultimate dictator. No wonder Jesus said of this time For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. (Matthew 24:21) The death toll is quantified… Power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill: Power was given to the horseman, and given by God. Though all hell breaks loose on the earth, God is very much in control. He still holds the scroll and opens the seals. As it stands, today, there are nearly 8 billion people on the planet. We cannot tabulate the number who will be taken at the Rapture but it is entirely reasonable to think that death toll from these three horsemen would be north of 1 billion people, a greater death toll than all the wars of the 20th Century combined.

I think this is absolutely GORGEOUS - the form is so elegant. A Waechtersbach 'Urania' series handled vase designed by Ursula Fesca in the 1950s. I liked the 60's cartoon. Is it Hummel? after Neureuther´s death. Crackle glazes are typical for the Schweitzer period until the end of the decade, ignored by collectors for many years but re-evaluated during the last years. I think this is the right place? [LEFT] Waechtersbach 'SONJA' pattern vase by Bauhaus pupil Ursula Fesca from circa 1955.

Defense Education Enhancement Program (DEEP) Combating Terrorism Defense Education Development Advanced Distributed Learning Regional Stability in Southeast Europe Regional Security in the South Caucasus Emerging Security Challenges Conflict Studies Defense Education Curricula Executive Director's Commentary Guest Speaker Series Connections Journal Study Group Proceedings Senior Advisory Council Download the published proceedings from the Partnership for Peace Consortium's Study Groups. These groups include the Regional Security in the South Caucasus Study Group (RSSC Study Group) and the Regional Security in Southeast Europe Study Group (RSSEE SG). These groups strive to foster regional stability and international security and where appropriate play a vital role in conflict resolution. Written by Elena PfPC-CTWG TTX Final Report (Macedonia, Nov. 2017) More than 100 senior counterterrorism professionals from government, military, law enforcement, intelligence, international organizations, civil society, academia, and the private sector met to address Foreign Terrorist Fighter (FTF) phenomena in the Western Balkans. The Republic of Macedonia in cooperation with the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the United States Embassy in Macedonia hosted the Partnership for Peace Consortium (PfPC) Combating Terrorism Working Group (CTWG) event. Conference participants included Macedonia’s new National CT/CVE Committee including the national CT/CVE coordinator, as well as the CVE national coordinators from Albania and Kosovo, providing the foundation for increased regional collaboration on difficult challenges, including FTF and prisoner rehabilitation and reintegration issues. Keynote speeches were delivered by senior Macedonia government officials, as well as from senior members of diplomatic and counterterrorism (CT), including countering violent extremism (CVE), bodies. The keynote speakers H.E. Zoran Zaev, Prime Minister of the Republic of Macedonia, H.E. Jess Baily, U.S. Ambassador to Macedonia, H.E. Nina Suomalainen, Head of the OSCE Mission to Skopje, Mr. Borche Petrevski, National CT/CVE Coordinator, Republic of Macedonia, and Mr. Richard Prosen, U.S. Department of State and CTWG Co-Chair addressed relevant CT/CVE issues within the context of evolving FTF threats and challenges. The conference showcased a multi-stakeholder tabletop exercise (TTX). The TTX engaged participants in an interactive scenario on emerging security challenges to a fictitious country, which facilitated discussions to cultivate Macedonian and regional policy and programmatic recommendations related to FTF travel, relocation, and return. Written by PFPC Admin Doctrinal Change Using the Past to Face the Present - Proceedings of the 14th Annual Conference of the Euro-Atlantic Conflict Studies Working Group These conference proceedings are from the Partnership for Peace Consortium's Conflict Studies Group 14th Annual Conference - titled "Doctrinal Change Using the Past to Face the Present" - and represents the work of the conference's 40 historians and military experts from 14 countries. Written by Ernst M. Felberbauer, Predrag Jureković (Eds.) Croatian Membership in the EU – Implications for the Western Balkans On 1 July 2013, Croatia officially became a full-fledged member of the European Union, thus fulfilling both foreign policy goals (EU and NATO membership) and making a huge step ahead in the process of its long-term consolidation. On the other hand, the other countries of the region are currently in different stages of their reforms/accession processes and it is very difficult to predict the pace of the developments in the period to come. The issue of long term consolidation of Bosnia and Herzegovina is far from being resolved. Moreover, the name issue is still a heavy burden of Macedonia’s EU and NATO accession processes. Finally, the Belgrade-Prishtina dialogue and related developments such as the beginning of accession talks with Serbia and negotiation on the Stabilisation and Association Agreement with Kosovo represent a significant step ahead. However, the full implementation of the agreements that derive from the dialogue has yet to take place and it’s still difficult to anticipate the final resolution of the problem. The EU Meeting its Internal Challenges: Implications for Stability in the Western Balkans Currently braving its most serious financial crisis to date, the EU’s integration projects face grave challenges. Under the current difficult economic conditions, the question needs to be asked whether the EU will be able to maintain its active role in the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) or become victim of a possible European trend towards renationalisation. In this regard, the EU’s stabilizing factor in regional peace processes – in particular in the Western Balkans – could be seriously affected by the financial, economic and social troubles inside the EU. Written by Ernst M. Felberbauer, Frederic Labarre (Eds.) From Self-defence to Regional Disarmament: Reducing tensions and stabilising the South Caucasus - Study Notes These study group notes are a compilation of the presentations and discussions of the 9th RSSC SG workshop, held from 20-22 March 2014, in Istanbul, aimed at discussing the concept of security as seen from the demilitarization or disarmament point of view, juxtaposed against the South Caucasus countries’ socio-economic policies. In short, this workshop aimed at discussing not the balance of power between the actors, but the balance of spending between guns and butter. The events in Ukraine had a stark warning for the South Caucasus; failure to address pressing socioeconomic issues could haunt the regimes in place. What Kind of Sovereignty? Examining Alternative Governance Methods in the South Caucasus - Study Notes These study group notes are a compilation of the presentations and discussions of the 8th Regional Stability in the South Caucasus Study Group workshop. The workshop was designed to test the boundaries of conflict resolution. Under the title “What Kind of Sovereignty? Examining Alternative Models of Governance in the South Caucasus”, it aimed at exploring the definition of terms and concepts surrounding governance, and to determine whether their application cannot be allocated among conflicting actors, or better yet, put in common. Building Confidence in the South Caucasus: Strengthening the EU’s and NATO’s Soft Security Initiatives - Study Notes This is a compilation of the presentations and discussions of the seventh workshop of the Regional Stability in the South Caucasus (RSSC) Study Group, that convened from 14 to 16 March 2013 in Tbilisi, Georgia. Under the overarching title of “Building Confidence in the South Caucasus: Strengthening the EU's and NATO's Soft Security Initiatives” it explored initiatives that aimed to build confidence in the South Caucasus, via the activities of the civil society, the EU and NATO. De-conflicting Protracted Conflicts in the South Caucasus: The Role of the EU and NATO - Study Notes These study notes were produced by the Regional Security in the South Caucasus Study Group, which held its 6th workshop at Reichenau, Austria, from November 8-11 2012. The format of the workshop was based on the successful Regional Stability in South East Europe Study Group, and its thematic concept aims at gradually bringing parties from the region to discuss and form policy recommendations on security issues and conflict resolution ideas starting from a high-level strategic outlook towards resolving particular issues of tension. See where the next 6 months are taking us

This dress (and red color anyway) is pretty dominant and maybe even a bit hard to wear on a day-to-day basis, which is why it is good to dress it down a bit. I matched my dress last evening with a pair of black lace-up flats and a simple denim jacket. But it will also look super cool with leather jackets and sneakers or why not with red boots for a head-to-toe red power look😍 Oh, and obviously with a matching red lip! Great dress. I love the ruffles & the shoes you paired with it. This red dress is perfection in every sense of the word! Love the ruffles too! I always love your post. i love wearing red especially when its autumn. i love your dress, its just so beautiful. What a gorgeous dress! You look so lovely dear, the color is perfect on you, I love how you paired it with that denim jacket. The colors and textures really complement each other.

Fangraphs on Jordan Danks Filed under: Chicago White Sox — The Wizard @ November 4, 2009 11:44 pm Hulet: Jordan Danks, OF, Chicago AL The key with the AFL is too not get too excited with the batting average or how many homers a player hits. Most players are there for extra work, which likely means there is something that they need to improve upon. Danks is a perfect example of that… He was off to an excellent season in ‘09 before fading at double-A in the second half. His raw power does not play well in games, in terms of home run power, and he hit just nine homers this past year in just over 400 at-bats. As a result, his strikeout rate of 26.0% is rather high. Danks has made nice strides in the AFL by striking out just 10 times in 58 at-bats. Even better, he’s walk 12 times. If he can keep that up, it will significantly improve his other numbers, which will then make him a more valuable addition to your fantasy squads. Jordan Danks: no worse than a potential mid-season call-up Filed under: Chicago White Sox — The Wizard @ November 4, 2009 4:15 pm Tags: Jordan Danks, Kenny Williams From Mark Gonzales’s ‘Kenny’s off-season plans’ article: [Jordan] Danks, 22, wasn’t projected to reach the majors until 2011, but his progress in the AFL caused team officials to consider him as no worse than a potential mid-season call-up. Scouts who have seen Danks this fall are impressed with his skills but are curious to see how he’ll adjust to inside pitches. Rick Hahn and Dan Fabian, two of general manager Ken Williams’ most trusted aides, spent last week watching Danks and other Sox players in the AFL. The Sox don’t have to include Danks when 40-man rosters must be finalized on Nov. 20 because Danks has less than four years of professional experience. But he could have played himself into an invitation to major league spring training, as did Gordon Beckham did after an impressive showing in the AFL. … Gonzales has more on Jermaine Dye, Scott Podsednik, Mark Kotsay, Ramon Castro, Octavio Dotel, and Bobby Jenks.

Not when at the ripe old age of 24, Danks seems to be just beginning to reach his full potential as one of the American League’s elite starters. Nonetheless, Danks enters the 2010 campaign hoping to be contractually beholden for a number of years to the White Sox team giving him this particular chance to shine on the mound. “It would be nice to have the security,” said Danks, who has that security, even if he doesn’t officially possess it in writing. “I’m very excited to sign a multi-year deal.” … Filed under: Chicago White Sox — The Wizard @ November 4, 2009 11:18 am Tags: 2009 AFL, Brent Morel, Jordan Danks Peoria Javelinas vs. Scottsdale Scorpions: Boxscore, Gameday.

I was agreeing with your comment. Sorry, mate! I just got your PM, and I also read it again. Missed a couple of words. Got it now! Thanks! Will rephrase it to say that you should definately stay a bit longer, so you always can go in and correct me when my whish to attack gets in conflict of common sense and understanding. But do you now understand the difference between a .357 and a .38 round fired from the same gun....? I always say no-one, including me, is inflammable. Especially with english and speling. The Stimulating World of Retirement.!!!. Methamphetamines make people crazy. They had better get a handle on the meth problem. firing a .357 magnum bullet from a .38 special gun would result in no hand or face. Actually it wouldn't fit in the .38 special gun, just for the reason you mentioned. Dirty Harry liked to carry a 357 magnum ..... are you feeling lucky punk?

Home Outdoors Bringing back the pulse of the Smokies Bringing back the pulse of the Smokies by botany, animals, Becky Johnson Some species that have disappeared from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park over the past two centuries are finding their way back again, thanks to restoration efforts of park rangers and wildlife lovers. While the reintroduction of elk has claimed most of the attention, here’s a look at others that have made a final stand in the Smokies. River Otters Since the arrival of European settlers in the Smokies, the river otter were sought by trappers for the fur trade. The animals that were once common all over the park were eventually trapped and hunted to extinction in the area. Reintroduction efforts began in the Smokies in 1986 with more than 100 otters released over a decade. Peregrine Falcons Peregrine falcons, known for their lightening speeds of up to 200 miles per hour and deadly talons, disappeared from the Smokies — and nearly from the face of North America — due to exposure to the harmful pesticide DDT before it was banned. As part of a captive breeding and recovery program, more than 6,000 were released nationwide, including many in the park during the ‘80s and ‘90s. Only one of the Smokies’ reintroductions has failed, that of the endangered Red Wolf. Red Wolves were close to extinction in the late 1970s, with none left in the wild and only 30 in a captive-breeding program. Several pairs were released in the Smokies in the early 1990s. Pup survival rate was poor, however, and adults had trouble finding enough to eat given competition from coyotes. After eight years, the park decided it could not support a wolf population and removed the few that were left. GSMNP 75 Great Smoky Mountains National Park Feature

Good plugin development and support lead to more downloads. More downloads mean more money and a better reputation. Read on to learn how you can develop good-quality products with these seven golden rules. Good development and support lead to more downloads. More downloads mean more money and a better reputation. This article will show you the lessons I’ve learned and the mistakes I’ve made, so that you can improve your plugin development. If your plugin doesn’t solve a problem, it won’t get downloaded. It’s as simple as that. Take the Advanced Cron Manager plugin (8,000+ active installations). It helps WordPress users who are having a hard time debugging their cron. The plugin was written out of a need — I needed something to help myself. I didn’t need to market this one, because people already needed it. It scratched their itch. On the other hand, there’s the Bug — fly on the screen plugin (70+ active installations). It randomly simulates a fly on the screen. It doesn’t really solve a problem, so it’s not going to have a huge audience. It was a fun plugin to develop, though. Focus on a problem. When people don’t see their SEO performing well, they install an SEO plugin. When people want to speed up their website, they install a caching plugin. When people can’t find a solution to their problem, then they find a developer who writes a solution for them. As David Hehenberger attests in his article about writing a successful plugin, need is a key factor in the WordPress user’s decision of whether to install a particular plugin. If you have an opportunity to solve someone’s problem, take a chance. Don’t neglect your support. Don’t treat it like a must, but more like an opportunity. Good-quality support is critical in order for your plugin to grow. Even a plugin with the best code will get some support tickets. The more people who use your plugin, the more tickets you’ll get. A better user experience will get you fewer tickets, but you will never reach inbox 0. Every time someone posts a message in a support forum, I get an email notification immediately, and I respond as soon as I can. It pays off. The vast majority of my good reviews were earned because of the support. This is a side effect: Good support often translates to 5-star reviews. When you provide excellent support, people start to trust you and your product. And a plugin is a product, even if it’s completely free and open-source. Good support is more complex than about writing a short answer once a day. When your plugin gains traction, you’ll get several tickets per day. It’s a lot easier to manage if you’re proactive and answer customers’ questions before they even ask. Create an FAQ section in your repository. Pin the “Before you ask” thread at the top of your support forum, highlighting the troubleshooting tips and FAQ. Make sure your plugin is simple to use and that users know what they should do after they install it. UX is important. Analyze the support questions and fix the pain points. Set up a board where people can vote for the features they want. Create a video showing how the plugin works, and add it to your plugin’s main page in the WordPress.org repository. It doesn’t really matter what software you use to support your product. The WordPress.org’s official support forum works just as well as email or your own support system. I use WordPress.org’s forum for the free plugins and my own system for the premium plugins. Composer is package-manager software. A repository of packages is hosted on packagist.org, and you can easily download them to your project. It’s like NPM or Bower for PHP. Managing your third-party packages the way Composer does is a good practice, but don’t use it in your WordPress project. I know, I dropped a bomb. Let me explain. Composer is great software. I use it myself, but not in public WordPress projects. The problem lies in conflicts. WordPress doesn’t have any global package manager, so each and every plugin has to load dependencies of their own. When two plugins load the same dependency, it causes a fatal error. There isn’t really an ideal solution to this problem, but Composer makes it worse. You can bundle the dependency in your source manually and always check whether you are safe to load it. Composer’s issue with WordPress plugins is still not solved, and there won’t be any viable solution to this problem in the near future. The problem was raised many years ago, and, as you can read in WP Tavern’s article, many developers are trying to solve it, without any luck. The best you can do is to make sure that the conditions and environment are good to run your code. Don’t support very old versions of PHP, like 5.2. The security issues and maintenance aren’t worth it, and you’re not going to earn more installations from those older versions. Go with PHP 5.6 as a minimal requirement, even though official support will be dropped by the end of 2018. WordPress itself requires PHP 7.2. There’s a movement that discourages support of legacy PHP versions. The Yoast team released the Whip library, which you can include in your plugin and which displays to your users important information about their PHP version and why they should upgrade. Tell your users which versions you do support, and make sure their website doesn’t break after your plugin is installed on too low a version. Writing good code is tough in the beginning. It takes time to learn the “SOLID” principles and design patterns and to change old coding habits. It once took me three days to display a simple string in WordPress, when I decided to rewrite one of my plugins using better coding practices. It was frustrating knowing that it should have taken 30 minutes. Switching my mindset was painful but worth it. Why was it so hard? Because you start writing code that seems at first to be overkill and not very intuitive. I kept asking myself, “Is this really needed?” For example, you have to separate the logic into different classes and make sure each is responsible for a single thing. You also have to separate classes for the translation, custom post type registration, assets management, form handlers, etc. Then, you compose the bigger structures out of the simple small objects. That’s called dependency injection. That’s very different from having “front end” and “admin” classes, where you cram all your code. The other counterintuitive practice was to keep all actions and filters outside of the constructor method. This way, you’re not invoking any actions while creating the objects, which is very helpful for unit testing. You also have better control over which methods are executed and when. I wish I knew this before I wrote a project with an infinite loop caused by the actions in the constructor methods. Those kinds of bugs are hard to trace and hard to fix. The project had to be refactored. The above are but a few examples, but you should get to know the SOLID principles. These are valid for any system and any coding language. When you follow all of the best practices, you reach the point where every new feature just fits in. You don’t have to tweak anything or make any exceptions to the existing code. It’s amazing. Instead of getting more complex, your code just gets more advanced, without losing flexibility. Also, format your code properly, and make sure every member of your team follows a standard. Standards will make your code predictable and easier to read and test. WordPress has its own standards, which you can implement in your projects. I learned this lesson the hard way. Lack of testing led me to release a new version of a plugin with a fatal error. Twice. Both times, I got a 1-star rating, which I couldn’t turn into a positive review. You can test manually or automatically. Travis CI is a continuous testing product that integrates with GitHub. I’ve built a really simple test suite for my Notification plugin that just checks whether the plugin can boot properly on every PHP version. This way, I can be sure the plugin is error-free, and I don’t have to pay much attention to testing it in every environment. Each automated test takes a fraction of a second. 100 automated tests will take about 10 minutes to complete, whereas manual testing needs about 2 minutes for each case. The more time you invest in testing your plugin up front, the more it will save you in the long run. To get started with automated testing, you can use the WP-CLI \\`wp scaffold plugin-test\\` command, which installs all of the configuration you need. It’s a cliche that developers don’t like to write documentation. It’s the most boring part of the development process, but a little goes a long way. Write self-documenting code. Pay attention to variable, function and class names. Don’t make any complicated structures, like cascades that can’t be read easily. Another way to document code is to use the “doc block”, which is a comment for every file, function and class. If you write how the function works and what it does, it will be so much easier to understand when you need to debug it six months from now. WordPress Coding Standards covers this part by forcing you to write the doc blocks. Using both techniques will save you the time of writing the documentation, but the code documentation is not going to be read by everyone. For the end user, you have to write high-quality, short and easy-to-read articles explaining how the system works and how to use it. Videos are even better; many people prefer to watch a short tutorial than read an article. They are not going to look at the code, so make their lives easier. Good documentation also reduces support tickets. These seven rules have helped me develop good-quality products, which are starting to be a core business at BracketSpace. I hope they’ll help you in your journey with WordPress plugins as well. Let me know in the comments what your golden development rule is or whether you’ve found any of the above particularly helpful.

The Players’ Voice The Panther Speakers Series Panther Prints The student news site of Duncanville High School Baseball team gets new field ! Photo by Donaji Gutierrez By Donaji Gutierrez, Writer/ Photographer The Duncanville High School Baseball team has been very successful this past year. In the year 2019 this group of talented young men won first in District. The team has put a lot of hard work and they finally got the Field they deserve. A couple of the players shared their thoughts about the field. Senior, Rolando Ramirez, claims that the field makes the rest of his team mates excited for the new season to compete on new grounds. Senior , Alexander Sierra, thinks that this new field was very much needed and it will allow the program to grow as a team. Everyone has a different perspective on this team. Junior ,Jackson Todd ,considers the team as his own family and pretty much the rest of the team considers themselves family too. “ It’s as if when you walk into the locker room and you know everybody there has your back “ Junior , Jonas Gipson tells us. “The coaches push the players to their best even if they don’t feel like working out, those are the days they push the team the most ”says Rolando Ramirez. “The teammates have a lot of passion and they input all their work into it.” says senior Joshua Barrios. This Team has a lot of potential with practicing 8th block and after school ,these guys have it all and they will win once again this new season starting Feb. 8th 2020. To many of these players, they have been in the program since they have been in the 7th grade ! Each player has grown as a player and they have all improved their skills since they first started . The best part of it all is that the program is FREE! Which is senior ,Jeremiah Jones favorite thing about the program. They get to do what they love at no cost. Junior, Pierce Beaty, says that he puts a lot of time after school and even before school. To players like Junior , Eric Gallegos, who says “ The program is my way to de stress from the day and have fun and get better,” it’s the thing the look forward to the most after a long day at school. Many of these players are playing professional baseball after high school and college. Senior , Jose Carranza , says that “ we all love the game and have a vision of our future, whatever that may be.” Even if they don’t continue they all put their heart and soul on that field and do the very best they can. With this new field the team deserves the very best of luck in their future season. Jermiah Jones shares with us that the last time they won state was in 1990 this could be the year these young men win it all.

For the first time ever Drawing Lessons from one of the most widely respected and sought after art instructors in the art world. This drawing instructional DVD features his Principles of Drawing. Ted Seth Jacobs lets you in on the secrets... Ted Seth Jacobs Ted Seth Jacobs’ artistic career has spanned more than five decades. Born in 1927, he began teaching at the age of eighteen, as an occasional substitute for his Art Students League instructor. At age fifteen Ted Seth Jacobs won first prize in a nationwide contest for high school art. The author began exhibiting in New York galleries in 1952 and in 1952, he won first prize in the nationwide Stacey scholarship contest. Since then, he has had over seventy one-man exhibitions in America and in France, where he continues to exhibit. He has also participated in numerous group exhibitions, and received hundreds of portrait painting and drawing commissions, as well as a large number of commissions... Drawing Principles These principles are the artist guide to drawing the human form and were developed to guide the artist into mastering the human body in their own work. They include: Universality of Structure – Every body has the same basic structure Unity & Complexity – Every body has to move as unit in a fluid motion, yet there are so many structures it is complex. Continuity – Vital forces inside body that have to flow without interruption. Certain shapes facilitate this fluidity and others block it. Perspective Effect – How things would look if they were blocks and tilted in space Tapering – All body structures are to some degree tapered so they fit together... Jeff Hayes commented about him as a teacher in this 2005 post: Although he has a very kindly and unassuming manner, I was immediately thunderstruck by both the depth and breadth of the knowledge and insight be brings to bear on the practice of painting and drawing. In the space of just a few sentences, he would touch on physics, anatomy, geometry, optics, engineering, art history, pedogogy, physiology, materials, perception, oh, and philosophy to boot. And these were not the abstracted mental meanderings of a scattered intellectual. Rather, all his comments had direct relevance to the subject at hand, which is to say aspects of drawing the human body. It was really a virtuoso performance,...

Lost With No Sense Of PRIDE: Bridging the Knowledge Gap In MMA By Mauro With the UFC on Fox event that took place on November 12th, the sport of Mixed Martial Arts has turned the corner and is heading into a new frontier. UFC president Dana White has the business acumen to push the global brand of the UFC and the sport of Mixed Martial Arts to heights not thought imaginable just a few short years ago. These are two undisputed facts that are beyond question. The major question is what type of growing pains will true MMA fans have to endure to see the sport reach its full potential? Come along with me on a little adventure. A stroll down memory lane if you will. This story will begin like a lot of stories in modern martial arts across the globe and specifically here in America. I watched UFC 1 and was blown away by the skinny Brazilian guy who decimated his opponents by submission. I knew then that I had to learn some form of grappling arts. (Sound familiar yet?) Less than a year later I found myself sporting a wrestling singlet and shooting half nelsons until I could do them in my sleep. This, however, was not my motivation to train or compete in mixed martial arts. That motivation came roughly 4 years later in 1997. I can recall gathering around on a friend’s couch and waiting in anticipation for this new thing called the Pride Fighting Championships. My life was forever changed. The Japanese promotion took what was being billed as human cock fighting here in the states and made it a regal event. It was less novelty and more class and finesse. There was something about the way that the competitors carried themselves in the early PFC days. The pageantry of the events is still unmatched in today’s combat arts. But most importantly to this journey that you and I are embarked upon were the Japanese fans. I had never seen a major sporting event where the fans were so knowledgeable, classy, respectful, and appreciative of the entertainment that they were receiving. Looking back, I can remember the utter silence in the Tokyo Dome on that night in October of 1997. It was a silence that cannot be described in words. There were roughly 47,000 people in attendance that evening and all of them were on the edge of their seats. Amazingly though, when two of the combatants engaged in a clinch, not a single person booed. When there was a stale-mate in half-guard, the echo of disapproval did not rain down. Instead what happened was amazing. The crowd understood the subtle nuances of the fight game. It was as if they understood that they were coming to watch two highly skilled athletes compete in an athletic event of the highest nature and appreciated the combatants for the performance they were exhibiting. They actually cheered at the execution of small grappling techniques. How unfathomable is that in today’s MMA landscape where the loudest cheer of a fight is when the referee stands a fight back up from the grounded position? As fight fans we need to become more educated. Dare I say, we need to be more like the Japanese fight fans. One of the greatest finishes to any MMA contest was the front kick to the face of Vitor Belfort by Anderson Silva. The crowd exploded when Belfort’s knees buckled and he collapsed to the canvas. What is lost on that moment is the chorus of boos that were filling the stadium just moments before. Anderson Silva is known to be a slow starter and a meticulous counter striker. To a knowledgeable fight fan it was only a matter of time before that spider struck his prey but the impatient fans in attendance wanted no part of that. Instead, they wanted the two combatants to fight the way the fans wanted, not the way that was intelligent for the fighters whose careers and safety was on the line. I was going to list more examples of this type of unappreciative behavior from American fight fans but I found that the number of incidents were too numerous to even begin to scratch the surface. Don’t take my word though, pay attention to the crowd reactions during “boring” parts of the next MMA event you are watching. What we need to realize as fight fans is the fact that this is not the NFL, MLB or the NBA. When a quarterback of an NFL team throws an interception he will get a chance to make up for that mistake on the next possession for his team. If a linebacker misses a tackle he has a safety and a cornerback behind him to help corral the ball carrier and he will get a chance to redeem himself on the next down. If a pitcher gives up a hit he has fielders backing him up and he too will get a chance to make up for that pitch with the next batter. MMA fighters are not afforded these luxuries. If you make one error inside the cage or ring that could be the end of your stint in that particular promotion or even your career. One loss can lead to a fighter being cut and losing the livelihood that their family’s depend upon. Sure most of us would all love to see a Griffin vs. Bonnar style slugfest for every fight that takes place but these expectations are unreasonable. Most professional fighters only get a few fights per year due to the amount of time that it takes to prepare for each contest. Because of this they have to make the very best of every opportunity that they are given. They do not get a 162 game season. They may only have one chance to shine. With that kind of pressure it is not always feasible to go balls to the wall, full bore, for your amusement. The next time you find yourself ready to boo because you feel as though the action isn’t living up to your expectations, slow down and put yourself in that fighter’s situation. How would you react if you were locked in a cage with a trained opponent and the only way that you were getting out is if one of you was unable to continue? Now let’s imagine that you may not receive another check for months if you make one very small miscalculation. How would you provide for your family? Now would you leave it all on the line and swing for the fences? Our journey will come to a close with a memory of Pride 5 that took place at the Nagoya Rainbow Hall. Royler and Rickson Gracie put on a demonstration of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. It was purely grappling technique. There were no spinning back-fists or flying knees but rather slow methodical jiu-jitsu technique. The adoring Japanese fans did not become restless, no, they were so silent you could literally hear the shutter clicks from the media cameras at ringside. I can’t help but think of the boos that would fill any given arena today if Dana White attempted the same exhibition. As fans let’s try to be more appreciative of these athletes and what they are doing and let’s try to educate ourselves on the techniques being employed so that we too can appreciate the subtle nuances of the various forms of Martial Arts that make up the sport now known as Mixed Martial Arts. Maybe that is too much to ask. Maybe I just miss Pride.

Immerse yourself in great history, Beatles, current events, baseball, travel stories and more! Category: Issues/themes 1968-1972: An edgy era of winning films (Editor’s note: This is the ninth part in a multi-part series on the winners of the Academy Award for Best Picture. They are being presented in chronological order with “Wings,” the first winner, included among the movies reviewed and/or described in the first part.) The five Oscar winners for Best Picture winners between 1968 and 1972 all had a certain edgy quality to them, even the musical “Oliver,” based on a Charles Dickens book and the stage musical, fits that description. Those films were certainly reflective of the times with social upheavals, the U.S. presidency of Richard M. Nixon, the ongoing Vietnam War and many other issues shaking the times. Oliver!, 1968, directed by Carol Reed Mark Lester as Oliver seeking more food. “Oliver!,” the 1968 Academy Award Best Picture winner, not only leaves one humming some of its tunes, but thinking about some of the issues the story raises. Based on Charles Dickens’ “Oliver Twist,” the movie is story is about a young boy swept into a gang of youthful thieves. It’s a story about poverty, too, and what it forces some people to do. That is still a very relevant issue today at it was in 1968 and when Dickens novel was first published as a serial between 1837–39. At a little more than 2-1/2 hours, Oliver! is plenty of entertainment per entertainment dollar in addition to being thought-provoking. The memorable songs include “Consider Yourself Part of the Family,” “I’ll Do Anything,” “Food Glorious Food,” and “As Long as He Needs Me.” The cast includes Ron Moody, Shani Walls, Oliver Reed, Mark Lester, Jack Wild and Hugh Griffith. Other contenders for Best Picture in 1968 included “Funny Girl,” “The Lion in Winter,” and “Romeo and Juliet.” Midnight Cowboy, 1969, directed by John Schlesinger Although its original rating has been changed, “Midnight Cowboy” is the only Best Picture winner with the distinction of having a “X” rating when it was first released. The film had been approved with an “R,” but after United Artist executives consulted a psychologist who said that the “homosexual frame of reference” and its “possible influence upon youngsters,” the studio agreed to accept the X rating. The Motion Picture Association of America ultimately changed its rating system and the movie got its R rating. This is a gritty film about a naive, young Texas man, played by Jon Voight, who thinks he can make a great living as a gigolo in New York City. Once there, he meets the street-savvy, homeless, dying Ratso, played by Dustin Hoffman. In “Midnight Cowboy,” Hoffman as Ratso yells one of the all-time classic movie lines as he walks across NYC street traffic: ” “I’m walkin’ here!” That line reached No. 27 on the American Film Institute’s “100 Years…100 Movie Quotes.” Additionally, the song “Everybody’s Talkin’,'” which is featured throughout the movie, won Harry Nilsson a Grammy Award for Best Male Vocal Performance In many ways, this is a very down movie, but sadly the story of beautiful dreams destroyed by harsh realities is still a true story for many people today. The other contenders for the 1969 Best Picture Award included “Anne of the Thousand Days,” “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” “Hello Dolly,” and “Z.” Patton, 1970, directed by Franklin J. Schaffner The Academy Award Best Picture winning “Patton” is described as a milestone in screen bio-pics by many critics. George C.. Scott as Gen. Patton in “Patton” George C. Scott extensively studied the brilliant, eccentric Gen. George S. Patton in preparing for the role. Scott displays the brilliance and the temper of the general, who was a major figure in World War II. Scott, who won the Best Actor Award, had refused the Oscar nomination but won the award anyway. In a letter to the Academy, he stated that he did not feel himself to be in competition with other actors. In addition to Scott, actors in the film included Karl Malden, Stephen Young and, if you dig further down in the credits, Tim Considine. Other contenders for the 1970 Best Picture award included “Airport,” “Five Easy Pieces,” and “M*A*S*H.” The French Connection, 1971, directed by William Friedkin “The French Connection,” the 1971 Best Picture winner, is a high-energy, landmark film about international smuggling of heroin into New York City and a maverick detective’s efforts to try to stop it. The great chase scenes through NYC streets are among the greatest in film history, which earned the film editors a well-deserved Oscar.. You will catch yourself moving back and forth in your seat (if you can manage to stay in it) trying to dodge the cars. Gene Hackman is the star of this film, but the great cast also includes Fernando Rey, Roy Scheider, and Tony LoBianco. Other nominees for the 1971 Best Picture honor included “Clockwork Orange,” “Fiddler on the Roof,” “The Last Picture Show,” and “Nicholas and Alexandra.” The Godfather, 1974, Francis Ford Coppola Hollywood has given us many notable gangster or mob films, but the two Oscar Best Picture winning “Godfather” movies gave us a greater sense of that world than ever before. “The Godfather,” 1972, and “The Godfather Part 2, 1974, hold the distinction of being the only films that both the original and the sequel won the Academy Award for Best Picture. In the first movie, we see Marlon Brando as Vito Corleone, the “godfather,” in a role that some critics view as his greatest film performance. The other members of this great cast include Al Pacino, James Caan, Diane Keaton, Talia Shire, Robert Duvall, Sterling Hayden, Abe Vigoda, singer Al Martino, and Alex Rocco. This is a story about gangsters, but also one about families, not just crime families but in this case about Italian families seeking their version of the American dream and power. It’s hard to imagine any other movie winning the 1972 Oscar for Best Picture than this Francis Ford Coppola masterpiece, but the other contenders included “Cabaret,””Deliverance,” “Sounder.” Marlon Brando As Vito Corleone in “The Godfather.” Author rhtellerofstoriesPosted on February 24, 2018 March 4, 2018 Categories Actors, Best Picture Part 9, Brando Marlon, Coppola Francis Ford, Directors, French Connection the, Gangsters/Mafia, Godfather the, Hawkins Ronald, Hoffman Dustin, I'm walkin' here, Midnight Cowboy, Oliver!, Pacino Al, Patton, RDH Great Stories, Voight JonTags French Connection the, Godfather the, Hoffman Dustin, Midnight Cowboy, Oliver!, Pacino Al, Patton, RDH Great Stories, Ronald HawkinsLeave a comment on 1968-1972: An edgy era of winning films 1963-1967: Social issues, musicals, earthy comedy films win top honors (Editor’s note: This is the eighth part in a multi-part series on the winners of the Academy Award for Best Picture. They are being presented in chronological order with “Wings,” the first winner, included among the movies reviewed and/or described in the first part.) The five years from 1963-1967 were years of great diversity and competition for the Academy Award for Best Picture. They were in a variety of genres. The stories happened in the United States Deep South, England, and Austria. “Tom Jones,” 1963, directed by Tony Richardson. The young, hilarious and clever Albert Finney as Tom Jones helps make the somewhat bawdy “Tom Jones” comedy a delight to watch. It’s based on the novel by Henry Fielding about the wild life of a playboy in 18th century rural England. When the film premiered in October 1963, The New York Times critic wrote, “Prepare yourself for what is surely one of the wildest, bawdiest and funniest comedies that a refreshingly agile filmmaker has ever brought to the screen. …They have whipped up a roaring entertainment that develops its own energy (not just from the massive book) as much as from its cinematic gusto as from the racy material it presents.” In addition to Finney, the cast includes Susannah York, Hugh Griffith,and Dame Edith Evans. The others seeking the 1963 Best Picture award included “Cleopatra,” “How the West Was Won,” and “Lilies of the Field.” “My Fair Lady,” 1964, directed by George Cukor “My Fair Lady,” which won the 1964 Best Picture Award is one of this writer’s favorite musicals, but there may have been better films that were nominated for the 1964 honor. In my childhood home, I grew up hearing my father play over and over the Original Broadway Cast soundtrack of “My Fair Lady,” which featured Julie Andrews as Eliza Doolittle. Andrews was replaced in the movie by Audrey Hepburn. The songs are permanently ingrained in my head. “My Fair Lady” is based on George Bernard Shaw’s “Pygmalion.” The tale is about pompous phonetics professor Henry Higgins (Rex Harrison) who is so sure of his abilities that he takes it upon himself to transform a Cockney working-class girl into someone who can pass for a cultured member of “high society.” His subject turns out to be the lovely Eliza Doolittle, who agrees to speech lessons to improve her job prospects. Higgins and Eliza clash, then form an unlikely bond — one that is threatened by an aristocratic suitor. Even though this is a great musical that I love, my preference for the 1964 best picture might have been (if I wasn’t in my early teen years at the time) “Dr. Strangelove or How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.” Peter Sellers is magnificent playing three characters in this Stanley Kubrick classic satire. Other contenders for best picture included “Becket,” “Mary Poppins.” and “Zorba the Greek.” By the way, Julie Andrews, although not cast in the Best Picture-winning “My Fair Lady,” was compensated with a Best Actress award for her dazzling performance in the title role of “Mary Poppins.” “The Sound of Music,” 1965, directed by Robert Wise The Academy Award Best Picture winning “The Sound of Music”was based on the true story of the von Trapp family. It was loved by many, but not all. Star Christopher Plummer wasn’t a fan of the movie. He said in a recent Hollywood Reporter interview, “Because it was so awful and sentimental and gooey. You had to work terribly hard to try to infuse some miniscule bit of humor into it.” Julie Andrews in “The Sound of Music” in the Hawkins family, my mother and sister went to see the movie in a downtown Louisville movie theater while my father and I headed to Crosley Field in Cincinnati to see the Reds play (it was a much better team then) that same day It took me decades to get past this masculine bias against the movie, but when I finally viewed it I enjoyed it and realized that it wasn’t a threat to my masculinity. The songs such as “Maria,” “My Favorite Things,””Climb Every Mountain” and “Do Re Mi” are memorable, if a bit saccharine for some tastes. The story of the family’s music and its escape from the threat of the Nazis is a worthy story for the Best Picture Oscar. Other contenders for the 1965 Best Picture honor included “Doctor Zhivago.” Ship of Fools,” and “A Thousand Clowns.” A Man for All Seasons, 1966, directed by Fred Zinnemann “A Man for All Seasons, the 1966 Best Picture winner, was another winner based on a great Broadway play. This winner is about ethics in addition to being an excellent historic drama. It is the story of the heroic Sir Thomas More resisting King Henry VIII’s demands that More give in and sanction his marriage to Anne Boleyn. The New York Times reviewer stated, “‘A Man for All Seasons’ is a picture that inspires admiration, courage, and thought.” The great cast includes Paul Scofield as More, Robert Shaw as the king, Wendy Hiller, Leo McKern, Orson Welles, Susannah York, John Hurt, and Vanessa Redgrave. Other nominees for the 1966 Best Picture honor included “Alfie,” “The Russians Are Coming The Russians Are Coming,” and “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” In the Heat of the Night, 1967, directed by Norman Jewison “In the Heat of the Night,” the 1967 Best Picture winner, was true to the dangerous times of the 1960s. It’s about a black detective from Philadelphia who is in the Deep South when a murder takes place and he is picked up as a suspect. Sidney Poitier delivers a spot-on performance as Detective Virgil Tibbs and Rod Steiger delivers a stinging performance as Police Chief Bill Gillespie. Tibbs ultimately helps solve the murder. The confrontations between Tibbs and Gillespie during the course of events is fascinating. When Tibbs is asked by the racist southerners what people call him back home, Poitier delivers masterfully the “They call me Mr. Tibbs” line, one of the great lines in movie history. Others in the cast include Warren Oates and Lee Grant. Other nominees for the 1967 honor included “Bonnie and Clyde,” “The Graduate,” and “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.” From left, Virgil Tibbs (Sidney Poitier) and Police Chief Bill Gillespie (Rod Steiger) argue about a murder case in “In the Heat of the Night.” Author rhtellerofstoriesPosted on February 19, 2018 April 16, 2018 Categories Academy Awards, Actors, Andrews Julie, Best Pictures Part 8, Films, In the Heat of the Night, Man for All Seasons A, Memorable movie quotes, My Fair Lady, racism, Sellers Peter, Sound of Music the, They Call Me Mr. Tibbs, Tom JONES, Wings, World War IITags A Man for All Seasons, Albert Finney, Audrey Hepburn, Cincinnati Reds, downtown Louisville Kentucky movie theater, In the Heat of the Night, Julie Andrews, My Fair Lady, Rex Harrison, Rod Steiger, Sidney Poitier, The Sound of Music, Tom JONESLeave a comment on 1963-1967: Social issues, musicals, earthy comedy films win top honors 1953-1957: Big stories on bigger screens By the early 1950s, movie studio executives realized that television was a real competitor and they needed to take action to bring audiences back into the movie theaters. The Turner Classic Movies documentary series “Moguls and Movie Stars” includes an episode on the period from 1950 to 1960 titled, “The Attack of the Small Screens.” Cinerama, Cinemascope and 3D were among the innovations the studios tried, but the solution was big stories told on the big screen in powerful ways. Several of those big stories hit the big screen between 1953 and 1957. “From Here to Eternity,” 1953, directed by Fred Zinnemann. “From Here to Eternity” is a prime example of powerful film-making in the mid-1950s. The Burt Lancaster-Deborah Kerr kissing on the beach is one of the most famous kissing scenes in motion picture history and has been imitated and lampooned many times. This Oscar Best Picture winner draws from the deep well of memories and emotions tied to the days before and day of the bombing of Pearl Harbor as well as its immediate impact. It’s a story of romance, ill-fated affairs, ladies of the evening’s hopes for the future, the military life, the masculine lifestyle and occasional cruelty of the early 1940s, all drawn from the 850-page novel by James Jones. And, of course, it leads to the day that President Franklin D. Roosevelt referred to as “a day that will live in infamy,” the day of the surprise attack (at least to most people) on Pearl Harbor. This film includes one of Frank Sinatra’s finest performances and it’s a non-musical role for the legendary singer. Others in the outstanding cast include Burt Lancaster, Montgomery Clift, a gorgeous Donna Reed and many others in relatively minor roles who would become much better known over the years. The Oscar Best Picture honor was a great choice by the Academy. Other contenders included “Julius Caesar,” “The Robe” and “Shane.” “On the Waterfront,” 1954, directed by Elia Kazan. The strikingly powerful, Oscar-winning “On the Waterfront” featured Marlon Brando’s greatest performance in a career filled with outstanding acting. This story is about a dock worker who believes he could have been a champion boxer, but now is subject to the whims of a mob-run union* with which his brother has strong ties. Now, he faces major moral decisions. Brando’s character is pulled in different directions by people including union bosses (including his brother) who want him not to talk to Congressional investigators and by a Roman Catholic priest and a love interest who want him to testify at a hearing. In addition to Brando, the great cast includes Karl Malden, Eva Marie Saint, Lee J. Cobb and Rod Steiger. This movie won eight Oscars. Other contenders for the Best Picture award included “The Caine Mutiny,” “Country Girl” and “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Terry (Marlon Brando), right, tells his brother (played by Rod Steiger) that his life could have been better. “You shoulda taken care of me just a little bit so I wouldn’t have to take them dives for the short-end money. You don’t understand. I coulda been a contender, I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let’s face it.” “Marty,” 1955, directed by Delbert Mann. The Oscar-winning picture “Marty” was a nice, relatively small movie compared to the other four films that won that award between 1953 and 1957. The competition for the award wasn’t as strong as in some previous years. The story was adapted for the big screen from a television play written by Paddy Chayefsky. It is a story about a Bronx, N.Y., butcher played by Ernest Borgnine who unexpectedly finds love. He escapes family squabbles and finds the strength to escape from what he believes is a meaningless existence. Borgnine won the best actor Oscar for his sensitive performance. Also in the cast were Betsy Blair, Joe Mantell and Esther Manciotti. Other contenders for the 1955 best picture Oscar included “Love is a Many Splendored Thing,” “Mr. Roberts,” and “Picnic.” Around the World in 80 Days, 1956, directed by Michael Anderson. From left, Shirley MacLaine, David Niven and Cantinflas while trying to travel around the world in 80 days. “Around the World in 80 days” is a rollicking, Oscar Best Picture winning adaptation of the Jules Verne novel. It’s a lot more fun than many Best Picture winners, even though some critics claim it has lost much of its charm over the years. David Niven heads up the extraordinary cast that includes some new stars in major roles and several existing stars in cameo roles. The other stars in this film included Shirley MacLaine in another breakout role (after winning a Golden Globe award earlier for her part in The Trouble with Harry), the outstanding comic Cantinflas, and Robert Newton. The cameos included Buster Keaton, John Gielgud, Robert Morley, Marlene Dietrich and even Frank Sinatra. Set in the 19th century, the story is about an Englishman’s bet that he could travel around the world in 80 days. The means of traveling around the world in this pre-airplane and pre-automobile era were by ships, trains, stage coaches, hot air balloon and even elephants. If you get a chance to see this on the big screen or even a 4K Ultra HD or HD television, go for it.. Other contenders in 1956 included “Giant,” “The King and I” and “The Ten Commandments.” “The Bridge on the River Kwai,” 1957, directed by David Lean. I confess “The Bridge on the River Kwai” is one of my all-time favorite films, at least in my top 50. I like it so much that when I saw it was available on 4k Ultra HD, I ordered it. It is a big screen extravaganza with big messages about the madness of war. Toward the end of the movie, a doctor calls what has happened “madness.” Directed by David Lean, one of the all-time great directors, his “Lawrence of Arabia,” which won another best picture Oscar in 1962, also showed a major character’s descent into madness. More about that in a future post. The madness here is not just the Japanese forcing British prisoners of war to build a bridge, but a British colonel played by Alec Guinness who persuades the Japanese to let the British control the building of the bridge. The colonel believes that activity will keep up morale for his fellow British soldiers, whom had been ordered to surrender by the British hierarchy. In the meantime, a former American prisoner of war (played powerfully by William Holden) who had escaped the inescapable island is recruited to join a British team that intends to blow up the bridge. By the way, there is a great deal of similarity between the POW camp commanders’ warning/welcome to the new POWs in Bridge and the Klingon commander’s warning to Capt. James T. Kirk and Dr. Leonard McCoy in “The Undiscovered Country” when they arrive as prisoners on an icy planet that is known as being an alien graveyard. What the Japanese commander first warns and decades later the Klingon warns is that there are no guard towers because there is no need for them. If you check out the two scenes, you will be struck by the similarities. In addition to Holden and Guinness, the outstanding cast included Jack Hawkins (no known relation), Sessue Hayakawa, James Donald and Geoffrey Home. The other contenders included (who didn’t really have much of a chance against Bridge) Peyton Place, Sayonara, Twelve Angry Men and Witness for the Prosecution. *A personal note: this writer believes unions have done much more good than harm, even though that doesn’t apply to all unions. The writer and his family members have benefited from what his father earned because of his union.

Those names would include Laurence Olivier, Bette Davis, Jimmy Stewart, Cecile B. DeMille, Charlton Heston, Gene Kelly, Vincente Minnelli, Leslie Caron, Anne Baxter, and in a relatively minor role Marilyn Monroe. Even William Shakespeare got in on the action. “Hamlet,” 1948, directed by Laurence Olivier. Laurence Olivier in Hamlet This Oscar-winning version of William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” was the first time one of The Bard’s great plays received the Academy Award for best picture. This production was a creation of Laurence Olivier who directed the movie and played Hamlet. The film version was shortened considerably from the four-hour play to 153 minutes. Shot in Denmark, it was lauded for its photography. In case this is new to you, the story is about the prince (Hamlet) “who just couldn’t decide” and was seeking revenge for the death of his father. The great cast included Jean Simmons, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Stanley Holloway, Eileeen Herlie, Basil Sydney and Felix Aylmer. Among other nominees for the top prize were”The Red Shoes” and “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.” “All the King’s Men,” 1949, directed by Julian Jarrold Based on the novel by Robert Penn Warren, this incredible political drama is the fictional story of a politician who rises to the governorship fighting corruption but then falls to the same demons. The movie and book are supposedly based on the life and death of Louisiana Gov. Huey Long, who called himself “The KIngfish.” He served as the governor of Louisiana from 1928 to 1932 and as a member of the United State Senate from 1932 until his assassination in 1935. There’s also a bit of Major League Baseball Commissioner and former Kentucky Gov. A.B. “Happy” Chandler in the character, but Chandler wasn’t assassinated. Set in the depression era, it starred Broderick Crawford, Mercedes McCambridge, John Ireland, Joanne Dru and John Derek (future director/photographer and husband of Ursula Andress, Linda Evans, and Bo Derek). This was a big break for Crawford whom many of us boomers remember from the “Highway Patrol” TV series. A remake in 2006 starring Sean Penn doesn’t have quite the same power as the original. Other contenders for the 1949 top picture Oscar included “A Letter to Three Wives” and “Twelve O’Clock High.” “All About Eve,” 1959, directed by Joseph L. Mankiewciz Anne Baxter, left, and Bette Davis talk in “All About Eve.” Also pictured, from left, are George Sanders, Marilyn Monroe and Hugh Marlowe. “A’ll About Eve” is the ultimate backstage drama with Anne Baxter’s character taking over the Broadway role and life of aging star Bette Davis’ character . In addition to Davis and Baxter, the great cast of this best picture winner includes George Sanders, Celeste Holm, Hugh Marlowe, Gary Merrill and Thelma Ritter. Marilyn Monroe also appears in several scenes. This movie deservedly won six Oscars. Among the other outstanding films competing for the best picture Oscar were “Born Yesterday,” “King Solomon’s Mine,” and “Sunset Boulevard.” An American in Paris, 1951, directed by Vincente Minnelli Best picture winner “An American in Paris” serves as a great showcase for the marvelous dancing skills of Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron in addition to the great music of Gershwin. The plot involves Kelly, playing an artist in Paris, being torn between two women. The songs, choreography and production are what makes this a delight to watch, not the plot. This is not this writer’s favorite Kelly musical. “On the Town” and “Singin’ in the Rain” rank higher on my list of favorite Kelly musical vehicles. Yet, it is an outstanding film, worth watching several times if you appreciate great productions. Other nominees for the best picture Oscar included “A Street Named Desire” and “A Place in the Sun.” Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron in “An American in Paris.” The Greatest Show on Earth, 1952, directed by Cecil B. DeMille. This Oscar winner might have been about the greatest show on Earth, but it wasn’t the greatest movie of 1952. “The Greatest Show on Earth” is a romance and fugitive story under a circus big top. This film lives up to Cecil B. DeMille’s reputation as a fabulous creator of big productions. The outstanding cast includes Jimmy Stewart. Betty Hutton, Cornel Wilde, Charlton Heston and Dorothy LaMour. This writer’s problem isn’t that this is a bad film, but that there were better movies nominated for the 1952 Academy Award for best picture. Those included “High Noon,” “The Quiet Man,” and “Moulin Rouge.” Author rhtellerofstoriesPosted on February 8, 2018 February 20, 2018 Categories All About Eve, All the King's Men, An American in Paris, Best Pictures Part 5, Hamlet, Olivier Laurence, Political corruption, The Greatest Show on EarthTags All About Eve, All the King's Men, An American in Paris, Anne Baxter, Bette Davis, Betty Hutton, Broderick Crawford, Charlton Heston, Christopher Lee, Gene Kelly, George Sanders, Hamlet, Happy Chandler, Huey Long, Jean Simmons, Jimmy Stewart, Laurence Olivier, Leslie Caron, Marilyn Monroe, Peter Cushing, RDH Great Stories, Robert Penn Warren, Ronald Hawkins, Sean Penn, The Great Show on Earth, Vincente Minelli, William ShakespeareLeave a comment on 1948-1952: An era of giants 1943-1947: Top films offer heroic tales, address social issues, entertain Of the five Academy Award best picture winners between 1943 and 1947, three of them dealt with major social issues, one was set during World War II and the other was a rather light musical comedy. These films made a mark for themselves when they won the Oscar for best picture and several of them still are regarded in February 2017 as cinematic landmarks. Casablanca, 1943, directed by Michael Curtiz In 1996, an American Film Institute poll of a jury of film artists, critics and historians determined that “Casablanca” was the second greatest American film of all time (“Citizen Kane” first). Ten years later, Casablanca was voted the third greatest. Why the acclaim for this 1943, Warner Brothers wartime film? The now-late film critic Roger Ebert wrote that although Casablanca was going to be an “A-list” title for Warner Brothers, it wasn’t expected to be a great movie. “If,” however, Ebert wrote, “we identify strongly with the characters in some movies, then it is no mystery that Casablanca is one of the most popular films ever made. It is about a man and woman who are in love and who sacrifice love for a higher purpose. This is immensely appealing; the viewer is able to imagine not only winning the love of Bogart or Ingrid Bergman but unselfishly renouncing it, as a contribution to the great cause of defeating the Nazis.” The film is appealing on so many levels. It has a great dramatic story, humor, romance and is richly evocative of that time in World War II. The great cast of Bogart, Bergman, Peter Lorre, Sydney Greenstreet, Claude Rains and Dooley Wilson doesn’t hurt either. And, all politics aside, I am so grateful that Bogie got the part of Rick rather than Ronald Reagan. Going My Way, 1944, directed by Leo McCarey. This musical comedy features singer/actor Bing Crosby at near the height of his popularity. It was the prequel to the better known today “Bells of St. Mary,” but “Going My Way” took the Oscar for best picture unlike “Bells.” Of the five winners between 1943 and 1947, “Going My Way” is the most lightweight. In addition to the best picture honor, “Going My Way” star Bing Crosby won best actor, McCarey took the top director prize and the charming “Swinging on a Star” was selected as the best song. The rather simple story involves a progressive priest assigned to a downtrodden parish who works to get the parish out of debt but clashes with an elderly curate. Also competing for the 1944 top motion picture honor were “Double Indemnity,” “Gaslight” and “Wilson.” “The Lost Weekend,” 1945, directed by Billy Wilder Nearly 30 years before former Beatle John Lennon suffered his “lost weekend” in Los Angeles, the award-winning movie “The Lost Weekend” delivered a powerful tale of how alcoholism ruins lives. Ray Milland and Howard da Silva in “The Lost Weekend.” Ray Milland plays the alcoholic writer whose struggle we witness over five days. In 1945, a New York Times reviewer called the film a shatteringly realistic and morbidly fascinating film. …An illustration of a drunkard’s misery that ranks with the best and most disturbing character studies ever put on the screen. …We would not recommend this picture for an gay evening on the town. But it is certainly an overwhelming drama which every adult moviegoer should see. The Best Years of Our Lives, 1946, directed by William Wyler The winner of eight Academy Awards (including an honorary one), “The Best Years of Our Lives” is a film about three veterans returning to the same hometown from World War II. Even before the post traumatic stress syndrome term emerged during and after the Vietnam War, this movie illustrated the physical and psychological traumas facing a middle-aged lieutenant, an air officer and a sailor who has lost both of his hands. Directed by Wyler and written by Robert E. Sherwood, the nearly three-hour long movie achieves “some of the most beautiful and inspiring demonstrations of human fortitude that we have had in films,” a Times critic wrote in 1946. Stars in the film include Myrna Loy, Fredric March, Dana Andrews. Teresa Wright, Virginia Mayo and Hoagy Carmichael. Among others competing for the top film honor that year were “Henry V” and “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Gentleman’s Agreement, 1947, directed by Elia Kazan In “Gentleman’s Agreement,” a magazine writer, played by Gregory Peck, pretends he is Jewish and tells people he knows that he’s Jewish after he agrees to write a series of articles about anti-Semitism. His life changes in unexpected ways and almost destroys several relationships. This was Hollywood’s first major attack on anti-Semitism and is a powerful indictment on that cancer. It was richly deserving of the top picture honor. Also competing for the best picture honor in 1947 were “The Bishop”s Wife.” “Great Expectations” and “Miracle on 34th Street.” John Garfield and Gregory Peck in “A Gentleman’s Agreement.

Chair Grijalva, Leading Democrats Promise Oversight of Trump Administration Proposal to Remove Protections for Millions of Acres of American Rainforest Washington, D.C.– Chair Raúl M. Grijalva (D-Ariz.) and other leading Democrats on the House Natural Resources Committee today promised targeted oversight following the U.S. Forest Service’s proposal to roll back existing protections for millions of acres of roadless national forests in Alaska. By undoing decades of environmental protections in roadless areas, the Trump administration threatens severe damage to millions of acres of pristine ecosystems, irreplaceable habitats and invaluable watersheds – all to support unnecessarily cutting down our country’s largest old-growth forest. The 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule provided protections for nearly 60 million acres of roadless national forest, including more than 9 million acres in the Tongass National Forest in Alaska. The roadless rule helps protect clean water, wildlife habitat, and indigenous and subsistence uses. Roadless areas are important defenses against climate change thanks to their carbon storage potential and natural ecological resiliency. The more than 9 million acres of roadless areas within the Tongass’ temperate, old-growth rainforests drive a thriving tourism, recreational and commercial fishing industry. Committee Democrats have written to Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue on the issue multiple times: On October 11, 2018, to oppose changes to the national roadless rule in Alaska On May 10, 2019, to request more information in light of concerns about inadequate tribal consultations On July 11, 2019, House and Senate lawmakers sent a bicameral letter expressing concerns with the rulemaking’s artificially expedited timeline at the expense of tribes and other stakeholders “The Trump administration has turned destructive corporate welfare into a permanent governing philosophy,” Grijalva said today. “Weakening protections for one of the most important ecosystems our planet has left is a colossal mistake, and this Committee has questions about how this decision was made that this administration should prepare to answer. We need to protect places like the Tongass so future generations can enjoy them unspoiled.” “The administration’s rushed and reckless plan to allow clear-cutting and road-building in huge swaths of Alaska’s Tongass National Forest will cause harm for generations to come,” said Subcommittee Chair Ruben Gallego. “Tongass National Forest is not only a pristine national treasure, the largest intact temperate forest in the world, and a key part of local tourism and recreation economies – it is also one of our most effective tools to mitigate climate change for future generations. That’s why it’s all the more important to pass my bill, the Roadless Area Conservation Act, as soon as possible to codify the Roadless Rule and its protections.” “We have a responsibility to protect our communities from impacts of climate change, yet the Trump Administration is putting Native Alaskan traditions and families at further risk by removing existing protections that support subsistence use and provide natural climate solutions, which is a violation of their trust responsibility,” said Vice Chair Deb Haaland. “By eliminating roadless protections for national forests in Alaska this Administration is attacking our shared public lands, and future generations will be the ones who pay the price.” Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) recently introduced H.R. 2491, the Roadless Area Conservation Act, which would provide permanent nationwide protections for approximately 58.5 million acres of roadless national forest. Chair Grijalva and Rep. Deb Haaland (D-N.M.), who chairs the Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands, are original cosponsors.

Over a quarter of teen girls at r... Over a quarter of teen girls at risk of not returning to team sport, new research finds News 30 July 2020 Suncorp’s Team Girls initiative investigates lack of appetite for team sport due to COVID-19. New Suncorp research has today revealed more than a quarter of Australian teen girls are at risk of not returning to play team sport, following time away during lockdown. The research, released ahead of the relaunch of the Suncorp Super Netball Season on Saturday 1 August, revealed one in four have simply lost interest, while more than half (60 per cent) reported ‘nothing can be done’ to make them look forward to participating in team sports again. The national survey of more than 1,000 Australian teenagers* conducted as part of the Suncorp Team Girls initiative, also revealed team sports was primarily replaced with ‘screen time’ (91 per cent) including 63 per cent spending more time on social media during social restrictions, and two-thirds (67 per cent) of Australian girls admitted to being less active during lockdown, compared to the same time last year. However encouragingly, more than eight in 10 (86 per cent) of respondents recognise the numerous benefits of team sports participation, with almost half (47 per cent) reporting it increases their confidence, and more than six in 10 (64 per cent) feeling happier when they play. Of those that have missed playing team sports (85 per cent), ‘playing with friends and team-mates’ is what they miss the most, followed by almost two-thirds (63 per cent) missing the physical activity. We know the last few months have been tough for our local sporting groups, and these latest findings reinforce the importance of spotlighting the power of community sport and the role it plays in building confidence and local connections. Lisa Harrison, Suncorp CEO Insurance Product and Portfolio Suncorp CEO Insurance Product and Portfolio Lisa Harrison said sport has the incredible ability to bring people and communities together, and during uncertain times these connections are more important than ever. Suncorp Team Girls ambassador and Australian Diamonds netball player Gretel Bueta said the findings highlight the vital importance of encouraging the nation’s young women to stay in the game. “What is so interesting about Suncorp’s latest research is that despite young women being at risk of leaving their chosen team sport, they clearly recognise the positive impact it can have on their lives. Speaking from experience, I know the wins are just as important as the losses to build that inner grit we need to handle life. “We, as role models, family members and friends, have the chance to remind these same girls why getting back into the game can help nurture skills such as perseverance, resilience and confidence. I encourage Australia to come together at this essential moment to ensure we don’t lose young women from team sport.” The benefits of sports are widely recognised to have lifetime impacts, as sport is felt to build fundamental life skills like team building, leadership and resilience. Today’s findings follow on from Suncorp’s ‘2019 Youth Confidence Report’, which found a direct link for girls of all ages between being confident and achieving success in a range of life dimensions, including their work and social lives. To learn more about how team sport can benefit your child’s development visit the Suncorp Team Girls site. #​Key research findings: For the 40 per cent who can be enticed back to team sports, having their friends also participating (27 per cent) is most likely to make them look forward to returning, as well as if sports clubs/ federations ran a fitness clinic to help them get back into training (7 per cent). Those living in Victoria (62 per cent) are more likely than those living in New South Wales (53 per cent) and Queensland (45 per cent) to strongly agree that they have missed playing team sports since the COVID-19 restrictions. Those living in the five major capital cities are more likely than those living in regional areas to say they miss the physical activity (65% compared to 56%) and the positive benefits of playing a team sport (55 per cent compared to 41 per cent). Further benefits cited as a result of playing team sport include sleeping better (38 per cent) and feeling more relaxed (34 per cent), while one in four (23 per cent) find it easier to concentrate when they are doing their schoolwork. Not only are those living in Western Australia more likely than those living in New South Wales and Queensland to have participated in team sport over the past 12 months but they are also more likely to feel that they get benefits from playing team sports (Western Australia 93 per cent compared to New South Wales 86 per cent, Queensland 80 per cent and South Australia 83 per cent). Australian girls aged 11-17 years living in Western Australia are more likely than those living in New South Wales and Queensland to have participated in a team sport over the past 12 months (WA 84 per cent compared to NSW 75 per cent and QLD 68 per cent). Those living in Western Australia (39 per cent), Queensland (36 per cent) and Victoria (37 per cent) are more likely than those living in New South Wales (25 per cent) to have participated in Netball Of those that have participated in a team sport over the past 12 months, the majority (90 per cent) were participating at least once a week, with one in five (19 per cent) participating four or more days per week. - The 2020 Suncorp Super Netball season will be the fourth season of the premier netball league in Australia. - The season was originally scheduled to begin on 2 May, though this was delayed to 1 August due to the COVID-19 pandemic. - *This research study was conducted by YouGov Plc. with a sample of 1,007 Australian girls aged 11-17 years. Fieldwork was conducted online from the 6-13 July 2020. The figures have been weighted by age and region to reflect the latest ABS population estimates.
