The Auteurs Daily: Toronto. A Serious Man
Daniel Kasman's already cast a skeptical eye on the latest from Joel and Ethan Coen. Here's what others have been saying...
"A Serious Man inhabits that happy middle ground where the Coen brothers' most endearing movies reside," writes the Chicago Reader's JR Jones: "it's neither a flat-out misanthropic farce (Burn After Reading, The Ladykillers) nor a genre rehash (The Man Who Wasn't There, Blood Simple), but a comic parable that treats its characters with some measure of understanding and charts its own path without looking over its shoulder to earlier movies. Like Fargo and The Big Lebowski, it has all the earmarks of a personal statement, one of those movies that their biographer will use to connect the dots after they're gone."
"Copping at long last to their own Jewish - and Wonder Years - upbringing, the brothers have delivered the remembrance-of-things-past movie that too many directors louse up by doing before they've had time to develop any perspective," writes Tom Carson for GQ. "If you've ever wondered where the Coens got their fascination with this country's unwitting subcultures, it's pretty clear from A Serious Man that they started by keeping alert tabs on their own."
"The characters are all a collection of 'Jews you know,'" writes the Boston Globe's Wesley Morris. "The nebbish, the nag, the hypochondriac, the cheapskate, the know-it-all. They rant. They kvetch. They waddle. There's a mounting intensity to the storytelling, as if all the archetypes were being brought to a boil. But it's as much of a heartless shrug as last fall's Burn After Reading. That movie made me worry that the brothers had lost touch with humanity. This one suggests they've lost touch with their adolescent selves. But if nothing else they're true to their contemptuous sensibility."
"Cast almost exclusively with relatively unknown New York theater actors, A Serious Man contains the autobiographical subtext of the Coens' upbringing in the Minneapolis suburban Jewish milieu and transposes it on St Louis Park in 1967." Patrick Z McGavin for Stop Smiling: "Opening with a Yiddish-language prologue about jealousy, guilt and animating the dead in a Krakow village, A Serious Man is a Bellovian comedy of manners that equals Herzog as a fanciful, hilarious and discomfiting story of a man's quest to reconcile his spiritual anguish and emotional faith against the material demands of daily existence."
Counting off the challenges this film poses to the guys in Marketing - that cast of unknowns, that milieu - Mike D'Angelo, writing for Not Coming to a Theater Near You, suggests that this film "may be the most admirably perverse undertaking since Clint Eastwood's Letters From Iwo Jima. Which doesn't make it any good, alas.... It's their most nakedly personal film, and I say: Get dressed, fellas."
But for Tom Hall, the Coens "have delivered what will surely become a classic, a film for all audiences that underscores its deep, philosophical questions about faith and fury with a knowing smile. Brilliant."
"The film navigates its protagonist through a late-60s sea of bullies, yentas, backstabbers, and parasites, hitting moments of pitiless cosmic doubt that shame No Country for Old Men's frigid cynicism," blogs Fernando F Croce at Slant. "Bleak, hilarious, remarkable."
"This is brilliantly funny, brilliantly quotable stuff, all of it shot through with a biting black edge backed up by a surprisingly bleak conclusion," writes Todd Brown at Twitch.
"Jewish customs, from numerology to the Bar Mitzvah ceremony - which provides the context for one of the best drug-haze sequences since The Big Lebowski - give the story its color and contours, but faith itself - not the Jewish faith - is the subject at hand." For Michael Hogan at Vanity Fair, "it's hard to say which would be more frightening: a universe without order and meaning or one ruled by a God who rains suffering down on his hapless children for reasons known only to himself."
More from Noel Murray (A-) and Scott Tobias (B+) at the AV Club; and from Kirk Honeycutt (Hollywood Reporter), Eric Kohn (indieWIRE), Todd McCarthy (Variety), Matt Riviera, Jan Stuart (Screen) and Anne Thompson.
Via Movie City News: Cathleen Falsani in the Toronto Star on the "spirituality of the Coen brothers."
Update, 9/22: "I continue to see their films because unlike other people I've written off," writes Rob Davis for Paste, "they are such technical wizards - in the way they structure stories, the way they tell jokes, and the way they play with themes - that I'm always hopeful they'll marry their skills to worthy material. And they finally have."
Update, 9/27: Shawn Levy talks with the Coens for the Oregonian.
Updates, 9/29: "If Philip Roth and Franz Kafka sat down to write an adaptation of the Book of Job, the result might be something like A Serious Man," suggests Alonso Duralde at MSNBC.
"Are the Coens jokers who tread on despair, or tragedians with a penchant for death's-head humor?" asks Fernando F Croce in Slant. "Either way, Serious Man is their bleakest comedy. Its spiraling slapstick cruelty encompasses elements from both the lugubrious No Country for Old Men and the antic Burn After Reading, yet it easily outclasses both by endowing the put-upon puppet with a human dimension so that laughter is caught in our throats."
"A Serious Man is the Coens' true follow-up to their adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's No Country for Old Men - a Jewish take on the question of cosmic injustice," argues David Edelstein. "As in No Country, no one sees the entire picture - except, perhaps, the Almighty, who is, if He exists, a crueler jokester than even the makers of Blood Simple and Burn After Reading. The vision is mordant and absurdist - but not nihilistic. The Coens open with a quote from Rashi: 'Receive with simplicity everything that happens to you.' The lesson of Larry Gopnik is how to lose gracefully."
Gopnik is played by Michael Stuhlbarg, whom Eric Kohn profiles, also in New York.
David Denby in the New Yorker: "As a piece of moviemaking craft, A Serious Man is fascinating; in every other way, it's intolerable."
Jada Yuan talks with Amy Landecker for Vulture.
Online viewing tip. "A Serious Man is basically just Barton Fink revisited, with the surrealism dialed way down and the Jewish angle shoved front and center," argues Mike D'Angelo at the AV Club, where he shows us a scene from Barton Fink which "vividly demonstrates, in unsettling miniature, the Coens' remarkable, underappreciated knack for depicting genuinely complex emotional states via broad, cartoonish exaggeration. To put it another way, it's a potent reminder of the soul-rattling power of pure expressionism."
Updates, 10/1: "Neither the Holocaust nor Israel is mentioned in A Serious Man, which also limits the American 1960s to marijuana and the Jefferson Airplane, as if Vietnam, the civil rights movement and the urban riots had never happened." AO Scott in the New York Times: "Objectively, and compared with just about any of his ancestors, Larry Gopnik inhabits an earthly paradise, free from persecution, discrimination and want, surrounded (with a few exceptions) by his own kind, and with nothing to worry about but his job, his family and his God. Needless to say, he's miserable. But his unhappiness makes for a pretty good joke."
"The Yiddish shtetl shtick that opens Joel and Ethan Coen's new movie - a Jewish peasant stumbles on an old Hasid who may or may not be a Dybbuk - is pretty clumsy, but at least it tips its hat to the great existential comedy that A Serious Man might have become, if it wasn't buried beneath an avalanche of Ugly Jew iconography," finds Ella Taylor in the Voice.
"This is by far the most personal and revealing film the Coens have ever made, which might not seem like saying much," writes Andrew O'Hehir, introducing his interview with the Coens for Salon. "They're known for creating mannered, sardonic fictional worlds shaped as much (or more) by film history as by real life. But in recapturing the vanished realm where they grew up - a self-enclosed world of Midwestern Jewish suburbia - the Coens have crafted perhaps their most original work, one that presents itself, early on, as middleweight middle-American domestic comedy before revealing a strange and secret power that's closer to magic or myth."
"By providing a labyrinthine commentary on American insecurity and confusion... their vision becomes nothing less than Talmudic," finds Michael Joshua Rowin in the L Magazine.
More from Sam Adams (IFC), Noel Murray (AV Club), Joshua Rothkopf (Time Out New York) and Armond White (New York Press). More interviews with the Coens: David Fear (TONY) and Stephen Saito (IFC).
Updates, 10/2: "'How odd of God' goes an old bit of doggerel 'to choose the Jews.'" Once again, AO Scott: "And how perversely fitting that Joel and Ethan Coen... should elect to examine the deep peculiarity and calamitous consequences of this choice. The vein of fatalistic, skeptical humor that runs through so many of their movies has frequently had a Jewish inflection, both cultural and metaphysical. Here, that inheritance, glancingly present in movies like Barton Fink and The Big Lebowski, is, so to speak, the whole megillah."
For Glenn Kenny, this is "completely seamless hybrid of their putatively mature mode with their outrageous cartoonish one.... Go see this thing. Seriously."
"A Serious Man is an exquisitely realized work," writes Slate's Dana Stevens; "the filmmakers' technical mastery of their craft, always impressive, has become absolute. The script reads like a novel, densely allusive, funny, and terse.... But the Coens' degree of control over their audience's aesthetic experience can feel almost claustrophobic."
"[T]he treasures of A Serious Man are universal," writes Brandon Harris at Hammer to Nail. "Here's hoping that it doesn't seem too parochial for the masses."
Update, 10/3: "It's methodical, distancing and sarcastic, like all of their movies," writes Justin Stewart in Stop Smiling. "And like all of them, it's exciting cinema, 'eminently watchable,' as one of its characters would say. Fans for any reason expecting a leapfrog over past achievements will be disappointed."
Update, 10/4: Online viewing tip. More nice work from Jamie Stuart: "A Serious Man Red Carpet."
Updates, 10/6: Cathleen Falsani, religion columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times and author of The Dude Abides: The Gospel According to the Coen Brothers, at FilmInFocus: "While A Serious Man is certainly the most overtly religious (and perhaps most obviously self-referential if not autobiographical) of the Coens' films, the spiritual themes in it are the thread (or the rug, if you will) that ties the rest of their oeuvre together."
Jeffrey M Anderson interviews Stuhlbarg at GreenCine Daily.
Online viewing #1. David Poland talks with Stuhlbarg, Richard Kind and Sari Lennick.
Online viewing #2. Making Of's got clips of the Coens directing.
Updates, 10/7: For Vanity Fair, John Lopez traces the "Coen Brothers' Century in Cinema." They've "compiled a filmography to teach an AP US History class from. That is, if you wanted to explode every starry-eyed myth this country thrives on and send Norman Rockwell popping wheelies in his grave."
"What the Coen brothers are trying to tell us," a photo gallery in the Chicago Tribune with commentary by Glenn Whipp.
Updates, 10/8: "Regardless of the Coens' satiric take on Judaism, religiously or culturally, their stylish outlandishness here makes sense, identifying the Gopniks and their ilk as properly out of the 1967 mainstream, aesthetic and otherwise," writes Michael Koresky in Reverse Shot. "As usual for the Coens, it's an outsider's view, but this time it's made by insiders. And that disconnect makes their ambivalence resonate differently than before; there's a real fear trembling below the surface now."
"This isn't a laugh-laugh movie, but a wince-wince movie," writes Roger Ebert. "Those can be funny, too.... Remember that many parables contain their message in their last lines."
Updates, 10/10:
"It's not a departure, exactly - except in the way all their films are departures," writes Sean Nelson in the Stranger. "It's an expansion, a magnification, a breakthrough. Yes, like all their movies, it's kind of a big joke, but a joke with the darkest punch line ever. The Coen brothers, who for 25 years have been called cold formalists with more interest in Steadicams and storyboards than in human characters, have made a movie about the twilight of the Jewish soul."
The New Republic's Christopher Orr: "In one of his sessions with an unhelpful rabbi, Larry pleads, 'Why does God make us feel the questions, if he's not going to give us any answers?' After watching A Serious Man, one might be forgiven for posing the same query to the Coens."
"Does it all come down to life as a joke with a bitter punchline?" asks Sean Axmaker. "I don't think so. Under the eccentric characters and cultural oddities and curve-ball narrative is a film as painfully funny as it is profoundly and richly human, a thoughtful portrait of vulnerability and resilience in the face of uncertainty, and to date the definitive treatise on the world according to the Coens."
Updates, 10/15: "As one who grew up in an adjacent Minneapolis suburb with a few years' head start," writes Duncan Shepherd in the San Diego Reader, "I can attest to the film's value as an historical document, attest in particular to the plaid shirts and ankle-length pants, to the haircuts and glasses frames, to the lawns and houses, to the deer-hunting gentile neighbor, to the Coens' eye and ear for local enterprises, the Red Owl supermarket, the Embers family restaurant, the Jolly Roger motel, the Log Cabin coffee shop, the Oak Knoll country club (my elementary school was in point of fact Oak Knoll). As one raised a Lutheran, leniently 'confirmed' without completing my catechism, I must yield to the brothers' view of the Jewish community.... The Coens are often taken by their detractors to be nothing more than cold-hearted wisenheimers, and in fairness they often content themselves to pretend to be cold-hearted wisenheimers. But the pretense looks to me to be a form of modesty. Let the film speak for itself, and believe the pretense at your poverty. These are serious men."
For Salon, Jed Lipinski asks James Toback, Mary Harron, Molly Haskell, Aaron Hillis, Glenn Kenny and more, "Which Coen film rises above all others?"
Sam Adams talks with the Coens for the AV Club.
"What do they care about?" asks Jonathan Kiefer in the Faster Times. "What had they hoped to extract from this particular plot of personal history? Maybe they did intend a satirically affectionate commemoration, or even a Voltairean denunciation of faith-based optimism, but in any case what they've made seems more like some sort of long-deferred, highly disciplined tantrum."
"There's a lot to chew on here, hefty themes visualized in that droll, classically out-sized Coen fashion," writes Sean Burns in the Philadelphia Weekly. "My favorite touch is a towering wall of blackboards, every inch filled with Larry's frantic mathematical attempts to prove the Uncertainty Principle. 'Even if you don't understand this, you will be responsible for it on the midterm,' he notes, inadvertently summing up the character's central philosophical conundrum."
Andrew Schenker: "You go in expecting revelation - or at least something more than cynical gags - and you emerge with nonsense."

Blitzcrank Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
General Blitzcrank tips:
One thing to always remember as Blitzcrank is that you control your enemies Position in the lane 100% of the time, if an enemy does not constantly re adjust his position to be safe from your grab then he will eventually be grabbed, depending on the position of your ally the turret and your exhaust cooldown, this can be fatal. Move around the lane side to side and watch that the players take note of your position and re adjust, good players will do this often, almost constantly however arrogant/bad players will negate it.
This build is not built on spamming grabs, you should never need to throw more than a grab every minute or minute and a half in laning phase, hence only once point into it for so long, all adding more points into it does is decrease the cooldown and increase the damage. Before attempting almost any grab I highly recommend tapping the S key quickly. This will bring Blitzcrank to a halt and will let you line everything up, unless of course the grab is happening during a chase. You simply do not want to be grabbing while running side to side surrounded by minions. Additionally do not throw your grabs around like they are free. it takes time but learning to be patient with your grabs is a key aspect of playing Blitzcrank, later on you can throw them around as much as you want. However in laning phase they cost a large portion of your Mana pool and you cannot afford to miss three in a row because "he totally looked like he was in range broz". Missing say 3 grabs with no payout whatsoever except a minion pulled to you here and there means that for the rest of your time in lane until you "B" you are scrounging for Mana, which is not good. At first it will be hard but eventually you will learn when to grab and when to wait a few seconds and maybe not.
While grab may not be a spam-able ability one that I see to few Blitzcranks abuse happens to be Powerfist, which is what this build is built around abusing. Powerfist is a beautiful spell that makes your next melee attack do double damage, this may not seem like much but when you take into account the fact that it procs sheen/trinity force adding on an additional 100%/150% of your damage, the incredibly short cooldown and the large amount of damage and armor pen in this build. Suddenly we have a spammable high damage ability that also comes with a few second stun while the enemy is popped up into the air. Powerfist is the unsung hero of Blitzcranks abilities. Even at times when the enemy is hugging the minions being un grab-able simply walking up and hitting one with a Powerfist and then your ult can send them retreating out behind their minion shield, at this point if your partner is not brain dead he will be chasing them with you. once you pass the wall of minions suddenly they are in open lane in retreat mode, 9 times out of 10 the enemy will not think to dodge a grab directly after the Powerfist-ult-chase with partner combo. also they will be very close at this point having just passed their minions a grab is almost a sure thing. Abuse Powerfist whenever you can, even if its just hitting an enemy and popping back out, the short cooldown and large amount of damage this build gives it make it a great Ability to abuse.
One of your main jobs in TeamFights aside from Blitzing Cranks is to interrupt channeled ults, such as Nunu's Amumu's Akali's or even Karthus' and FiddleStix's or Galios. 3 out of 4 of Blitzcranks spells are interrupts, Powerfist is on a short cooldown so you can pretty well pop it whenever you want, Grab is kind of a once in 3 - 4 games interrupt as normally it is used to Grab. Finally your ult, it is VERY important that if your opponents team contains one of the characters mentioned above( or a different one as I did not name all the characters whos ults are interrupt-able by Blitzcrank) that you SAVE your ult at all costs during TeamFights for interrupting those channeled ults. It can be the difference between a won game and a lost game very easily and it is something to many Blitzcranks forget.
Early Game: (Pre Minion Spawn)
Get your items as fast as possible, I prefer to start with a Sapphire Crystal and a health pot or two, grab one rank of grab(note that if your laning partner has a stun such as a sion it is possible to start with a rank of Powerfist first to help with that early first blood), and head to your lane, you should always prefer a lane with a partner over a solo lane no matter what the circumstances when using this build. If you do have a choice in laning partners ALWAYS go for the partner with a slow, stun, or a large amount of burst DPS, as those in combination with Blitzcrank's grab and popup abilities spell easy ganks all around.
A quick example of some champs Blitzcrank is great in lane with:
-Kassadin -Anivia
-Kog Maw -Ryze
-Sion -Annie
-Singed -Swain
-Morgana -Pantheon
-Cho Gath -Veigar
-Poppy -Urgot
These aren't absolutes of course, it depends on the player playing the champ. You can still have a terrible laning phase with any of these champions on your side. But the point is that each of these champions either has a very powerful stun or slow that they bring to the table to pile ontop of Blitzcranks own disables, or they have a large amount of burst DPS, or both.
A quick example of some champs Blitzcrank does not want to lane with:
-GangPlank -Warwick
-Master YI -Nasus
-Rammus -Soraka
-Shaco -Eve
-Shen -Sivir
As with the above example none of these are absolutes, it depends on the player in many situations. Even while some of these characters become very good partners for blitz once they get there ults (Warwick, Gangplank) or some are useful with proper use of key abilities (Shen or Rammus using taunt for example) those are very situational in comparison to the characters on the previous list.
Basically when using this build you either want to be with a carry feeding them grab / popup kills (and catching a few yourself). Or you want to be with a support DPS champ getting kills fed to you.
Early Game: (Level 1 - 10)
Be patient with your grabs and harrass with Powerfist whenever possible. Control your enemies position and Try not to feed. you should have just enough for your sheen right around level 6, b and Teleport back to lane with sheen at this point. Now from the moment you get back with sheen till about level 8-9 is when you have a massive window of opportunity. once you get your sheen and your ult you are going to be able to pack a serious punch(really the damage output is surprising) , assuming your ally is not brain dead and assuming you have exhaust up you are almost guaranteed to get kills at this point.
No matter what the circumstances if there is a jungler ALWAYS purchase a ward for the river. Blitzcrank has a large amount of damage with this build right around level 6 however you are also slow at that time, only 1 rank into overdrive makes you very gankable. A ward will save you lots of grief.
Try to stay in lane until the teleport is back up again, hopefully you will have enough for your boots and maybe the first pieces of your manamune by then either way B when you can get your boots and preferably teleport back. Build manamune when possible.
While this build is not exactly a gank machine use your time in between teleporting back whenever you go back to perhaps check out the lane opposite the map or mid to see if an enemy is vulnerable, if you see an opportunity take it.
The Tower
Because you are Blitzcrank and you are most likely hopefully grouped with one of your preferred partners, you might get several kills during laning phase and have an opportunity to kill your turret incredibly fast. however do NOT kill it before level 10 - 9 preferably, get it low, be in control but as Blitzcrank ending your laning phase to early can be punishing. he is not the easiest champion to get minion kills with and being level 6 - 7 when you kill your enemies tower feels good for a few seconds then you realize well what the **** do I do now, if you are wrecking your lane there is no reason to blow your load early and kill the turret forcing you and them to play incredibly cautiously or switch lanes, let them feed you and get the turret to a point where you can finish it off whenever you please.
will finish the rest later, any good so far?

Manufactured homes and hurricane safety
The Manufactured Housing Institute of South Carolina (MHISC) has released information about manufactured homes and hurricane safety ahead of Hurricane Irma's possible arrival.
MHISC leaders say there are three important steps to preparing a manufactured home for a storm.
First, know the age of your home and know what wind level the home was designed to withstand.
Agency officials say a manufactured home built and installed after 1994 in the nine South Carolina counties nearest the coast must withstand winds of 100 mph. Homes placed inland must be able to withstand sustained wind gusts of 80 miles per hour.
South Carolina counties prone to hurricane-force winds are labeled as "Wind Zone II," according to an MHISC news release.
Officials say manufactured homes should have a "date plate" near the utility closet or breaker panel that will state what wind zone the home was built for.
Homes built before 197 may not have a data plate or wind zone rating.
Second, verify that your home was installed properly.
Any licensed manufactured home installer or inspectors can perform an inspection of an existing manufactured home.
MHISC says manufactured homes are anchored by a series of 10 to 20 large steel anchors, depending on the size of the home.
Anchors are then connected by metal anchor straps to the heavy steel frame that the house rests on, according to the news release.
Third, do your own home inspection.
Homeowners can inspect the anchor straps beneath a home.
Check to ensure that their is no slack or play in the anchor straps. Rust or malformation can be bad signs.
MHISC officials say damages to manufactured homes are often caused by flooding and debris.
When an evacuation is ordered by local authorities, MHISC says staying in a manufactured home is a risk just like any other structure.
For more information about manufactured homes and hurricane safety, you can call 817-881-8199, or 803-771-9046 ext. 6.

Editor's note: This story has been updated to reflect the full version of events that occurred Tuesday since the original post about how Parkland students were coming under attack for their outspokenness. Hours later, an aide to a state representative sent an unsolicited email to a reporter that played on a conspiracy theory.
It bubbled up from the darkest online corners then began to take off: conspiracy theories about Parkland students who've spent the past week on TV demanding action on the gun violence that killed 17 and reawakened a national debate.
By late Tuesday afternoon, the conspiracy climbed to a new level when an aide to state Rep. Shawn Harrison, R-Tampa, was fired after emailing a Tampa Bay Times reporter with a stunning assertion: "Both kids in the picture are not students here but actors that travel to various crisis when they happen."

Birthday Horoscope for May 6thIf your Birthday is May 6 and your Zodiac Sign is Taurus
Birthday Persona Profile
People born specifically on the 6th of May are envisioned to be charming, warm and cooperative with the typical bull placidity and determination. Venus is the ruling astrological planet dominant for this particular day and also the zodiac sign of Taurus, intensifying your levels of curiosity and intuition. If you have this birthday a highly sociable, diplomatic, outgoing temperament is bestowed upon you along with a dislike of being or feeling alone. Your natural eloquence often assists you to be able to talk your way in and out of situations and instinctively seek the balance you crave. You have stylish tastes that are usually reflected in your choices of home and dress sense. Entertaining and bringing others together are things you are inclined to enjoy and be good at. Individuals with a May the sixth birthday possess a wonderful imagination, are capable of recognizing their limitations and tend to usually look at everything fairly objectively.
Work and Finances
Job choices can sometimes be far from easy to a person born on the sixth of May as conventional career options rarely seem to appeal to you. Although you are usually fully aware of your best abilities this does not prevent you from being attracted to work that is rather specialized or unusual. Financially you are prone to be once in a while frivolous or under estimate the expense of something you desire. You are quite impulsive over bargains and willing to pay for quality but it can occasionally cause fluctuations in your finances. Sensible budgeting should allow for your small extravagances.
Personal Relationships
For a Taurus, the person born on the sixth day of May is typically stubborn but with a high degree of patience and emotional understanding. When it comes to love and romance you can be hesitant to make the first move but fall in love deeply and ordinarily flourish within the security and stability of a long term relationship. You need a loving partnership that is very evenly balanced physically and mentally with plenty of common interests and ambitions. Someone that is as loyal and committed as you are who ignites your sensual passion and is on the same intellectual level is perfect. Your belief in soul mates and true love helps you put your indecisiveness aside if you feel you have met your destined partner. You can be possessive and inflexible at times but loathe arguments so will frequently be the one who initiates making up and restoring harmony.
Physical healthiness experienced by those born on May 6th appears to be easily disturbed by nutritional deficiencies. You are disposed to have a healthy appetite but a tendency to have your favorite meals and eat too much of the same thing sometimes leaving you short of something. You can in addition be susceptible to coughs and colds so eating a wider range of foods could help you avoid succumbing to viruses. People born on this day may find that their mental health, general sense of well being and self esteem is also noticeably improved by consuming food types known to boost mood and concentration.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Your main strengths of character are noticeable in your unique mix of charm, warmth and cooperation gaining you many friends and admirers. Your other major fortes of sensitivity, astuteness and diplomacy help you normally approach everything impartially and make you a fabulous mediator. The personality weaknesses for those born on May 6th expose your changeable emotions, seemingly more frequent if you have worries. This negativity can surface as self indulgent and pitying behavior causing you to also be much grumpier and uncharacteristically sulky. Not letting anxieties build can reduce this negative trait.
Dreams and Goals
Being born on the 6th of May gifts you with an intense appreciation for beauty courtesy of Venus's double influence. This perception may add a touch of idealism and fantasy to your dreams but you attempt to keep these sleep induced wishes separate from important life objectives. Your need to be taken seriously sees you setting realistic goals for desired personal and professional achievements. Helping others to realize their potential can often be more rewarding to you than your own accomplishments. All your wished for aspirations are hardly ever selfish or entirely materialistic.
Birthday Luck and Significance
As you were born on the sixth day of the month your birth date figure of Six is also your Root number. This numerical reference to your birthday has the keyword 'Social' emphasizing your responsiveness to others and fondness of company. The 6th Tarot card in the Major Arcana characterizing the Lovers is closely linked to your birthday. It strongly reflects your penchant for the aesthetic and requirement for closeness and companionship. The gem imagined luckiest for May the sixth birthdays is Turquoise, it is thought to mystically attract positivity and happiness into your life.
The probable favorable and unfavorable thoughts and actions of all Taurus personalities are believed influenced astrologically by Venus. As this celestial body also rules the actual day you were born, the sixth of May, it is doubly influential on your possible nature. Your easygoing sociability and fine mediation skills accentuate your superb command of language. This talent and your insistence on fairness let you interact with almost everyone and be understood plainly. Your calm intuitiveness is an excellent guide if you listen to and trust your inner voice. If you can manage to steady your emotions and pay more attention to your dietary needs it could stop anxieties building. A well meant thought for people born on May the 6th is to consider waiting for others to ask for your assistance instead of offering and do not be fearful of asking for help yourself.

I am born May 6th 1963. I'm popular with any group I find myself in and attract attention even when I don't want it. My living area is usually a mess with too many unfinished tasks mounting up and I hate cleaning. I always acquire money somehow but don't have a career worth mentioning or to make me rich. I am always the best man for any job and only trust myself in emergency situations. I love the outdoors, water sports, beauty of nature and can relate well to animals, often befriending them in the wild. I'm happy to camp for months at a time prospecting for gold and can find valuable rocks and gems easily if they are in my midst. I once read six playing cards in a row before they were turned over and have been into the future twice in OBEs. I live with proof and consider it an honor to know, we leave our bodies. I was given an important message by an outside power much greater than myself. I have incredible artistic and creative talents using any medium and a unique voice most people find soothing. I'v gotten used to living alone but find young girls to be intriguing if not the most beautiful thing in life. I am picky about who I pair up with and place high value on intelligent conversation and willingness to have sex. I am very peaceful but it's a big mistake for anyone without weapons or special skills to try physically harming me as I will make quick work of them once pushed past the breaking point. I'm very much into truth and have been learning this world is not what most people think. Anyway, I was just wondering if there's other May 6th Taurus' similar to me or is it just a 1963 thing? Thanks.

I turned 66 today. This synopsis of who I have been and who I am is amazingly accurate. The sentence "A well meant thought for people born on May the 6th is to consider waiting for others to ask for your assistance instead of offering and do not be fearful of asking for help yourself." is very appropriate and appreciated as it took me many years before I woke up and realized that I needed to do more Being and less Doing.

Need some help finding employment. (Brussels)
I'll try to keep this post short. I am looking for employment around the Brussels area. I have a diverse skill set with a focus on multimedia production (Web, Print, Video), customer service and sales (retail / wholesale).
I am a subscriber with a fair amount of the interim, employment and head hunting companies.
I have limited languages skills other than English, which I know is a problem and am trying to resolve.
I want nothing more than to be an active member in the Belgian society, and would gladly look at an entry level position if there were opportunities to grow within the company.
This is a snapshot of my experience:

Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thank you!

My design is based on if people on on the mission have problems with their mouth on the mission. Also people can have fun in space because they will be up there for a long time. Playing sports and other things like that. Guarding peoples teeth with a Rubber Mouth guard. The mouth guard protects the teeth in an activity or can be used as a holder for lost teeth in the mission. (if it occurs) Blood from the teeth usually comes out really fast so gripping down on the mouth guard can be used while other medical supplies can be found and used to stop the bleeding of the lost or damaged tooth.

The national security parole board for Guantánamo Bay has approved the transfer of 35-year-old Majid Mahmud Abdu Ahmed, a former bodyguard for Osama bin Laden, to an as-yet-undetermined "Arab-speaking country" that can offer "appropriate security assurances."
Ahmed is originally from Yemen, currently torn asunder by a civil war between Iran-backed insurgents and its Saudi-supported nominal government, with al-Qaeda and ISIS taking advantage of the instability. A top general close to the Yemeni president was recently assassinated in Aden, which the nominal government has been using as a capital city, because the actual capital is held by the Shiite Houthi militia.
The Miami Herald reports Ahmed was "recruited to join the Taliban at age 18 or 19 and became a bin Laden bodyguard at 21, a month before the Sept. 11 terror attacks."
He arrived in Guantánamo during the first week of the detention center's operation in January 2002, one of several dozen young prisoners described as "bodyguards" for al-Qaeda mastermind bin Laden. He wound up classified as a "forever prisoner," ineligible for either trial or release. Two other "forever prisoners" are up for transfer hearings in the coming weeks.
The parole board declared his detention is "no longer necessary to protect against a continuing significant threat to the security of the United States."
The board essentially declared Ahmed had grown out of working for al-Qaeda and the Taliban, saying he has "matured since entering detention."
The board saluted him for educating himself while in captivity and gave him credit for his "relative candor in discussing his time in Afghanistan, acceptance of the mistakes he made, and a credible desire not to repeat those mistakes."
He was described as a "compliant" prisoner, although the Miami Herald notes he has been "largely uncooperative with investigators."

This is a beautiful trail run. Running from Noosa Heads to Sunshine Beach then returning
back to Noosa heads along the coastline. The weather was hot with the temperature around 32C and then humidity at 85%. Then it rained on my approach to Alexandria Beach towards to Sunshine Beach. The rain was beautiful and cooled my hot skin momentarily until the sun threaten to appear from the grey lurking storm clouds. On the trails there were many walkers and many nudists on Alexandria Beach some of them popped their heads up from the sand dunes when they heard me running through the low tide. They reminded me of Meerkats keeping a look out. Being the only one wearing clothes on Alexandria Beach made me feel naked with all those eyes looking at me. The trails varied from wooden, concrete at the start from Noosa heads, but mainly the trails are rocky with a lot of sand as I descended up from Alexandria Beach to the Sunshine Beach trails. The elevation gained was 191m which for a coastal area is okay.
Here is a link to the trail on open street maps (Click on the image below)
Here is a short movie of the trail on YouTube (Click on the image below)

The Carbon Farming Solution: A Global Toolkit of Perennial Crops and Regenerative Agriculture Practices for Climate Change Mitigation and Food SecurityIn this book the term carbon farming is used to describe a suite of crops and agricultural practices that sequester carbon in the soil and in perennial vegetation like trees. If widely implemented, these practices could sequester hundreds of billions of tons of carbon in the coming decades. And if we combine carbon farming with a massive reduction in fossil fuels, it can bring us back from the brink of disaster and return our atmosphere to 350 parts per million of carbon dioxide. Unlike high-tech geoengineering strategies, these practices can also feed people, build more fertile soils, and contribute to ecosystem health.
Despite the challenges and the need for additional research, the evidence is already clear: these practices can contribute mightily to the most pressing issue of our time.

I can't believe it's already been another week. This week wasn't as good for me as it should have been. With my birthday and anniversary and other stuff going on, I actually missed several days. I feel bad about that, but I can't change it now. I should have kept up with it, but I let myself slack off. All I can do now is get myself back on track.
There was some good though. I found this video: How To Stretch for Beginners, Safe Stretches for Full Body Yoga by PsycheTruth and others from PsycheTruth that helped me with my stretching. It was nice to finally see something intended for people who aren't flexible yet. They were very helpful and I already started using what I learned.
I also thought of a way to relax more while I'm doing my routines. Since I'm not strictly following videos right now, it's a little harder to keep an eye on how much time has gone by. I have Insight Timer on my tablet. I decided to make a preset for my yoga. I set it for 25 minutes with a single bell every 30 seconds. I hold each pose/stretch for 30 seconds, then when the bell goes off I move to the next. It worked out really well.
As soon as I get done with work today I'm going to get back at it. I think that right after work will be a good time, and it will make it harder for me to make any excuses about not doing my yoga. My body has been aching and I know that it needs the exercise. Part of my brain wants me to beat myself up for slipping, but that would be counterproductive. I'm just going to get back on track and keep moving forward.

You guys. I am in love with trail running.
I ran in the End of Summer 10k yesterday at Carkeek park on beautiful trails. The race started at 9:30 and the weather was sunny and cool. Here is a view from the parking lot. Again, sorry I don't have any pics from the actual trail.
Oh, and I placed first woman overall which is totally nuts. The race was pretty teeny, but I'm still pretty stoked. My first trail race was a total success, other than my pace and being a terrible trail runner and everything. It was a pretty pokey run but considering I had no idea what I was in for and had a pretty nonexistent strategy. I decided to try and keep it slow and steady, and stick near people at least for the loop so I didn't get lost. I think I might be a terrible trail runner though, I did a lot of really close creeping on people due to my strong fear of taking the wrong turn. That is not to say I would have got lost because this race was very clearly marked and on really nice trails. It was a loop for the 5k, twice for the 10k. I ate a Clif bar about 1.5 hrs before the start of the race but I felt after the first hill climb that I could have used an extra banana or something to keep me going. I was worried going into the second loop that I was going to completely fall apart, but the awesome things about trails is that with all the ups there are also downs, and those are FUN. I just had to keep focused and enjoy my surroundings and try not to think too much about my fatigued legs.
When I'm running a race or long run I usually get a few mantras or phrases stuck in my head. For my uphills it was "Keep breathing, keep going" and for the downhills it was more along the lines of "I am a woodlands princess!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the trees and runneeeeeeeeeng!!!!" I remembered on the second loop that I love running in the woods SO MUCH. When I remember that I smile, and when I smile I run easier. It's one of those ridiculous things I read about once that if you can trick yourself into thinking you feel great, you can start to feel better. Since it was a pretty small race I got to run solo for a bit and geek out without embarrassing myself in front of my hopefully soon to be new trail running friends. Then I tried to normal it out before rejoining society.
This was my first time running with Northwest Trail Runs and it turned out to be the end of their summer race series. They gave out awards at the end for series winners and had a raffle with good stuff. I got beer for getting first place and the smoked salmon as a raffle prize! Plus there were hot dogs (and veggie dogs!) grilled and ready to eat at the finish, and watermelon, drinks, gummy bears, and other treats. It was a really fun race and all the other runners were super nice. Also, everyone that I passed on the out and back, as well as everyone at the finish, cheered for each other. I think I'm going to try and sign up for some more races that they put on. Their winter race series starts in November, so I need to peruse the list and pick some. It was also a great way for me to get to see a park in the north end of town that I usually would not have any excuse to see or run around. All around an awesome start to the day.
9/26: 6.16, 10:19 avg pace, 1:03 total time.
After the race I went to the hair salon and sat for a while, which felt pretty good.
Did you race this weekend?
Ever done a trail race? DID YOU LOVE IT TOO?!

Join Mark W. Gray for an in-depth discussion in this video Lighting and gear workflow, part of Video Lighting and Grip Basics.
- Now we're not going to get too much into the art of lighting in this course. But I'll show you what all this equipment does, what it's all called, and how to operate it properly. I've been shooting film since about 1990. Sometimes with big crews, sometimes with very very small crews. Sometimes we just me. But whether you're working on a lighting crew or lighting your own project it pays to keep your equipment organized and understand how it's designed to be used. Now there are certain standard ways of working with this gear that have evolved in the industry and are generally agreed upon.
That said, there is always room for personal preference. I'm going to show you the way I like to see this gear handled. If you find yourself working for someone who wants you to do something differently, that's okay. As long as it's safe. Most of the "rules" of working with lighting exist for safety and convenience. You'll find there are some regional differences in what things are called and there is a lot of slang. But the standards exist so you can walk on to pretty much any set in the country and slip right in to the lighting crews workflow.
Mark W. Gray demonstrates the lights, stands, and cables that are essential for video lighting. He'll talk about a basic "hot" lighting package like the ARRI Softbank Kit, florescent and LED lighting options, how to properly handle a c-stand, what the heck a "stinger" is, how to shape light with flags, and other important basic techniques for controlling light on your next video project.
NOTE: These techniques are brand-agnostic. If you don't have the lights Mark recommends, you can still get great results!

Democracy in the time of the internetSubmitted by Samantha Luiz on Tue, 08/19/2014 - 19:59.
"If you want to liberate a society, just give them the internet. If you want to have a free society, just give them the internet."
Online Activism is not black and whiteSubmitted by Darsha Indrajith on Tue, 08/19/2014 - 00:34.
How did you hear about the Ferguson protests? Like most people, I heard about the protests and disproportionate police response from Twitter.
With police blocking journalists from reporting on the Ferguson protests, most news about it has come from activists on the scene. The protests' prominence emerged because activists used online tools to make themselves heard and become a news story at a time when media organisations were not interested in covering them.

Marin IJ Editorial: Dominican's Initiative to Improve Younger Voter Turnout
Despite Donald Trump's repeated claims that the presidential election is "rigged," students at Dominican University are trying to get more young people registered and interested in voting.
Trump's discouraging message isn't helping this round of democracy in action.
But that hasn't dampened the energy the San Rafael campus' students have devoted to this election, engaging young voters on the issues and encouraging them to get involved — and, of course, vote.
Dominican is one of the university campuses selected by the Commission of Presidential Debates as a Voter Education Partner, a hub to connect with young voters, regardless of their partisan or nonpartisan leanings.
The campus has sponsored numerous forums on issues, hosted noteworthy speakers and opened its doors for younger voters to watch the presidential debates. The initiative has been both in-person and on social media.

(KMOV) -- Clean-up continues in Mascoutah, Ill. after a tornado touch-down in that area.
Kenneth Eidman, 80, and his wife Shirley, 78, are trying to pick up the pieces after their one-story farmhouse was torn apart by the winds that raced through their neighborhood on Monday afternoon.
The Eidman's took shelter and huddled together in a central room of their house on Jefferson Road just south of Mascoutah, Ill. when the storm passed through.
The home was destroyed and debris was scattered about a quarter-mile from the house. Judging by the damage done to the home, it's remarkable that this elderly couple survived.
Kenneth Eidman says his wife was not hurt and his only injury was a scratch on his finger.

"Rosa it's your birthday you shouldn't have made breakfast." Lana said.
"It's OK mom. I like cooking." Rosa said with a smile
"Honey why don't you take Jimmie out to the park for a few hours today spend some time just the two of you." Kevin suggested.
"Sure dad that sounds like a great idea! What do you think Jimmie?" Rosa turned to her son and asked.
"Yes park!" Jimmie said.
"Hey mom, what's up?"
"I think you should go upstairs and take a look at your room. Then go take a look at Monika's room."
When Rosa went up to room she discovered a completely different room. One of the first things she noticed was that her parents had left all her pictures. Including the ones of Evan she had been scared that her parents might have taken them down and tried to get rid of that part of her life. She still loved him though as much as she didn't want to... The other thing she noticed right away was that there was no longer a crib in her room. She knew that Jimmie would be moving to a big boy bed soon but he still needed a crib for awhile longer.
Before Rosa had a chance to grow up. Lana passed away.
"Be good today." Rosa said to her son.
"Don't worry mommy I'll be fine." Jimmie said smiling
"I know Jimmie." Rosa said as she got in the car to go to work. As soon as she was clear of the house she began to cry.
"What are you doing here?" Rosa said.
"I saw your show and came to see you." Evan said
"So what after all this time you just decide to stop by and say hi." Rosa said.
"I know this is a long shot but I was kind of hoping you would maybe consider...." Evan started
"Taking you back!!! No way! You left me and your son! If you didn't want to be a part of our lives then why should I believe that you want to now!" Rosa said.
"I made a mistake. I know I messed up! You don't think I haven't regretted every minute that we haven't been together. When you told me you were pregnant I was scared I felt like I ruined your life I blamed myself I felt guilty for what I did. and then that day in the hospital when I first saw Jimmie I just thought that he would have a better life and be happier without me. I couldn't bare to face you I felt like I had messed everything up..." Evan said.
"Wait you were at the hospital after Jimmie was born?" Rosa asked.
"Of coarse I was as soon as I heard he was born I was there. I even was able to hold him but I felt like I had messed up so much already that I didn't want..." Evan began.
"I can't stay anymore. I'm already late getting home and Jimmie will worry. I can't take you back right now... but I'm willing to listen to what you have to say... Jimmie has prom on Saturday night what do you say we go out for drinks and talk about this." Rosa offered.
"That sounds good. Thanks for at least giving me a chance to explain myself." Evan said.
"Jimmie, Have you ever wondered about your father." Rosa asked him.
"Of course I have." Jimmie started. " When I was little I used to sneek into your room and look at all the pictures of you with him. I used to wonder why he left but then I just decided that he was gone and wasn't coming back so there was no point getting upset about it now."
"You have no idea how much like him you are..." Rosa said starting to tear up.
"Mom please don't cry..." Jimmie said as he got up walked around the the table and gave his mom a hug.
"I already have a place. I just thought I would stop by and see you and Jimmie before I moved in." Monica said
"Well I'm glad you stopped by. I have something to tell you anyway." Rosa said.
"Oh god you're not pregnant again are you..."Monica said.
"What! No! Evan is back..." Rosa said.
"After so long... Why?" Monica said.
"I don't know but I'm getting drinks with him Saturday night while Jimmie is at prom." Rosa said.
"Does Jimmie know?" Monica asked.
"I asked him about it last night but I don't think he suspects that his dad is back..." Rosa said.
" I want to tell you to stay away from him." Monica started "But I know you're still in love with him. So I guess just see where it goes."
"So what did you want to say?" Rosa asked
"I just wanted you to know. I'm sorry. I never should have left. I was young and scared and right now all I want is to at least have the chance to be back in Jimmie and your life. I understand if you don't want me back I screwed up especially after sneaking in to see Jimmie but running away and not seeing you."
" I was going to make it seam like I wouldn't let you come back... but just being here with you makes me realize that I never stopped loving you and hoping you'd come back. But now I have to think about Jimmie too. I'm willing to let you back in but I need to talk to Jimmie first..." Rosa said
"I understand. And just thank you for even giving me a shot.
By the end of the night it was just like old times. They ended up going back to Rosa's house.
When Rosa woke up the next morning she wallked downstairs to find Jimmie.
"Jimmie, I need to tell you something." Rosa said
"Ok what is it?" Jimmie said.
"It's your father he's upstairs right now.... and he wants to meet you but I can make him leave if you don't want to talk to him."
"I want to tally to him." Jimmie said.
Evan even proposed to Rosa.

One of their constant bestsellers is the Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Toddler/Kids Cover-up Robe. Made of incredibly soft material, the CozyChic Cover-up Robe can both be a plush robe and blanket in one. It can keep kids perfectly warm and is a perfect gift during birthdays or Christmas. There are lots of lively colors to choose from so you can choose which best suits the personality of the kid you're buying it for. Of course, it's still made of the same easily washable and dryable material perfect for the active toddler.
If you want your kids to be comfortable and looking like the cute and cuddly creatures they naturally are, the Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Cover-up Robe may just be what you need.

Last week was very Westminster heavy!! A lot of questions, votes, speeches and process! Ugh! But some success. First success was getting the Transport Secretary to commit to using British Steel for HS2. Indeed he seemed to suggest in answer to my questions that 95% of steel used in the construction of this project will be UK steel.
It's fantastic that the Scunthorpe Telegraph is following this up with a campaign to make sure that it happens and that HS2 is built with British Steel. To sign the petition follow this link –
Second success was getting the Early Years Minister to commit to meeting local nursery providers to hear directly from them about their concerns about the impact of Government policy on local provision. Hopefully she will come and visit us here and see some of the great early years work that is going on locally. If not we will go to see her!!
Third success was the overwhelming majority to get into Committee the Private Members' Bill to stop the government's gerrymandering of boundaries. There's a long way to go with this but it may mean that the Government has to do something to make sure the millions of voters added in the last two years are taken into account when new boundaries are drawn up.
I also asked ministers about doing something to improve the woeful funding of 16-19 education and spoke in the debate on the new Technical and FE Bill pointing out the great work that John Leggott and North Lindsey do locally and the need for that to be properly supported.
Continuing the education theme I asked the International Development Secretary how she can use the UK's Aid budget to support improvements in the number of girls completing their secondary education in sub-saharan Africa. Currently whilst 85% start primary school only 8% finish secondary school - not a good story.
I've spent a lot of time in the Criminal Finances Bill Committee where we are going through, cross-party, line by line to do everything we can to ensure that the law is sharpened up to deal with people who try to evade their duty to pay taxes.
I also had a useful meeting with DONG energy where their head of procurement talked me through how they are intending to source the steel for use in building North Sea wind farms. Finally I had a very useful meeting being briefed about the Buses Bill and the opportunities and challenges for local bus service providers like Hornsbys.

The ANC also approved an agreement rejecting the unilateral measures imposed by the US government against Venezuela and reflected its support for President Nicolas Maduro against foreign threats.
The document is a response to the "superpower" made up exclusively of Chavistas and has taken control of the Venezuelan government, initiating a series of political persecutions that have resulted in the arrest of several opposition mayors, as well as the dismissal of the Attorney General of the Republic, Luisa Ortega Díaz.
The opposition to President Nicolas Maduro also faced another fight Wednesday before the government-stacked Supreme Court, which scheduled a hearing on charges against a Caracas-area opposition mayor.
"Witnesses spoke of security forces firing tear gas and buckshot at anti-government protesters without warning".
The declaration was presented by Peruvian Foreign Minister Ricardo Luna, who told reporters "what occurred in Venezuela" - the installation of the constitutional assembly - "is a decisive rupture" in the country's political situation and "what we have now is that Venezuela is a dictatorship".
The Latin American Foreign Ministers bloc on Tuesday also said the Venezuelan National Constituent Assembly convened by President Nicolas Maduro and tasked with drafting a new Constitution was "illegitimate".
Ten others fled when the gunfight began, and are being hunted down. As a counter to the Peru meeting, he was hosting a meeting of foreign ministers from the Bolivarian Alliance, a leftist coalition of 11 Latin American nations.
New Constituent assembly will rewrite the constitution.
Mr Maduro has been internationally condemned as a dictator after replacing the country's...
The Treasury Department says seven are current or former Venezuelan government officials.
The responsibility for human rights violations in Venezuela "lies at the highest level of government", the United Nations human rights office has said.
Venezuelans voted on July 30 and elected a 545-member constituent assembly that gave Maduro new powers by dissolving state institutions.
The assembly was expected to gather at the legislative palace in Caracas for the first time since voting Saturday to remove the nation's outspoken chief prosecutor, a move that drew condemnation from numerous same regional government that are sending representatives to the meeting in Peru's capital.
Sunday's raid on the army base in Valencia, the country's third largest city, heightened fears that Venezuela's crisis could tip into some form of armed conflict.
Since the disputed election, security forces have stepped up their presence.
"There are indications of growing discontent in the middle ranks of the police and soldiers, even though military commanders remain allied to the government", said Diego Moya-Ocampos, of IHS Markit Country Risk in London.
If you have a pair of binoculars, they will help magnify the view and will make the red coloration brighter and easier to see. Southern Denton County is not in line to see the upcoming solar eclipse in totality, but it will certainly notice it.
There are significant differences between Republicans and Democrats when it comes to the use of force against North Korea. The missiles, according to Pyongyang and many experts, have the range to strike the U.S. mainland.

Wopat has worked steadily on stage and screen since the " Dukes of Hazzard ", including a role in the A&E drama "Longmire". He told police that he buys cocaine "in large quantities and uses it over time", the court documents said.
Vice-President Mike Pence said the bill showed Trump and Congress were speaking "with a unified voice". Appearing on ABC's "Good Morning America" the same day, Mr.
Shiite Muslims have remained a constant target of militant attacks across various parts of the country over the past few months. A security source, who declined to be named, said IS could prove to be more risky than the Taliban in Afghanistan .
China's influence in Sri Lanka makes neighboring India anxious because it considers the Indian Ocean region to be its strategic backyard.
It has appealed for a boycott of the election, which surveys suggest is rejected by more than 70 percent of Venezuelans. Air France and Iberia both announced they were suspending their flights to the country during the weekend vote.

Online v/s offline: Direct sellers join fray
After consumer electronics and information technology product makers, direct sellers such as Amway, Oriflame and Tupperware have written to e-tailers, asking them to refrain from selling their products on their websites. The move comes in the wake of e-tailers such as Snapdeal, Flipkart and Amazon aggressively selling products of the above-mentioned firms, offering deep discounts (as steep as 40-50 per cent), which direct sellers say, mars the business prospects of their offline field force, who sell directly to consumers.
A spokesperson for the Indian Direct Selling Association (IDSA), a body that presides over the Rs 7,000-crore industry, and which has put its might behind these companies, says that e-tailers are not authorised to sell such products, since the direct selling model does not permit sale via any other medium besides the field force which has entered into a contract with the respective firm. "Basically through direct selling a company effectively outsources its sales function to people, who in turn get in touch with others interested in the firm's products. These people then conclude the sale with the interested individual and the process continues. What we are doing is promoting entrepreneurship as a result of this model.

Typically, products sold through the direct selling route are not available through any other channel. How these products are finding their way onto online sites is one part of the problem. The second is the discounting that these sites are indulging in to promote sale of these products.
This hits business of the offline field force. Which is why companies such as Oriflame and Tupperware have written to e-commerce websites such as Snapdeal, Flipkart and Amazon asking them to dissuade sale of their products on these sites," Chavi Hemanth, secretary-general, IDSA, said.
IDSA is also asking the government to intervene and put in place rules and regulations governing non-store retail formats including direct sellers, e-commerce sites and home shopping networks. "This is required to prevent overlap as we are now seeing between e-tailers and direct sellers," Hemanth said.
However, the battle is expected to intensify since e-commerce is growing in India. From $1.5 billion (roughly Rs 9,000 crore) last year, e-commerce as an industry now stands at $3 billion (Rs 18,000 crore) in size and is slated to touch $35 billion (Rs 2.1 lakh crore) by 2020, according to Technopak.
Categories expected to drive traffic will be fashion, accessories, lifestyle products, electronics, mobiles and groceries, says Arvind Singhal, chairman, Technopak.
Companies, however, have been grappling with the emergence of e-commerce. Earlier this year, Lenovo, Toshiba and Nikon put out advisories to its buyers against doing business with e-retailers. Soon players such as Samsung, Sony, Apple and Nokia joined the pack.
These firms have now gone a step ahead, tracking shipments to see if products are finding their way illegitimately onto online channels, where they are being dumped at discounted rates. The move is intended to curb the practice of deep discounting.

Howard Zinn Quotes About GivingQuotes about: Giving
To be hopeful in bad times is based on the fact that human history is not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don't have to wait for some grand Utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.
What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places--and there are so many--where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.
The UN should arrange, as US forces leave, for an international group of peacekeepers and negotiators from the Arab countries to bring together Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds, and work out a solution for self-governance that would give all three groups a share in political power. Simultaneously, the UN should arrange for shipments of food and medicine, from the United States and other countries, as well as engineers to help rebuild the country.
I believe there are huge numbers of people in this country who would be willing to have radical changes in our economic and social system in order to make it a more egalitarian society and do away with homelessness and hunger and clean up the environment. But these people have no voice. They have no way of expressing themselves. Elections give them no way of expressing themselves.
I am totally confident not that the world will get better, but that we should not give up the game before all the cards have been played. The metaphor is deliberate; life is a gamble. Not to play is to foreclose any chance of winning. To play, to act, is to create at least a possibility of changing the world.
The problem of giving health care to everybody cannot be solved so long as we're spending huge sums of money for war. Already we have a very wasteful healthcare system, the most wasteful healthcare system in the world. I mean, we spend the most money and still have 40 million people without insurance. Compare us to Cuba. Cuba is our enemy, run by a dictator, Fidel Castro. But people in Cuba get health care at least equal to that of the United States - with very scarce resources. So I think this issue is the most important domestic issue.

"Thanks ever so much for a really enjoyable day on Saturday. Really learnt a lot and also thoroughly enjoyed the day. Well balanced and very informative and very much hands on as well. Excellent!"
"Had a great day yesterday. Many thanks. Shall want to book on other courses next year if any vacancies exist! When is it possible to book? Would be particularly keen to do the coastal foraging and another foraging in the autumn time. Best wishes. You've got a great thing going. I shall be recommending you to many others!"
"Hi Chris, I hope you have recovered from last week and got back ok on Thursday. Many thanks to you for the foraging element of the treasure hunt – it was so refreshing to have a new aspect to the TH and our main client said it was his favourite element of the afternoon. It was great working with you and nothing seemed to be a problem! Boden we're extremely happy with the event and called it a 'triumph'. We're looking forward to hopefully working with you in the near future."

Cerberus's investment in a leading grocer in the U.S. showcases the Firm's ability to utilize its unique operational expertise and financial resources to transform a company's operating performance and build long-term value.
When a Cerberus-led consortium of investors and two retailers acquired the company, it was suffering from years of mismanaged stores and substantial real estate debt. As part of the transaction, the grocer's stores, pharmacies and distribution centers were divided among the acquirers, with Cerberus's several hundred stores consolidated under a new operating company.
Following the acquisition, Cerberus moved quickly to install a new management team, which included members of Cerberus Operations and Advisory Company (COAC). Together with COAC and Cerberus, the management team embarked on a course to enhance the company's value by:
- Improving operations on a store-by-store level
- Reducing the company's debt significantly by refinancing or paying down obligations to creditors
- Executing a sale-and-leaseback transaction for the stores' properties, eliminating more than $300 million in real estate debt
- Launching new store-branded product lines
- Implementing an in-sourced collections function to improve recovery of unsolicited receivables
- Lowering product costs by transitioning all prescription sourcing and grocery supply to retailer-owned cooperative Associated Wholesale Grocers (AWG)
Cerberus's investment in the grocer enabled the company to significantly decrease its debt, meet consumer demand by offering new products, steadily increase its performance capabilities and continue profitable operations.

text: I need help. I have a japan wii, on 3.2j, downgraded from 3.4j. Modchip unknown. Right now I'm trying to play Disaster: Day of Crisis, burned on 4x on a DVD with Nero. Used WBB on the iso beforehand. So when I insert the game into the wii, it loads up on the disc channel, but when I click start, I get the 001# error. So I decided to try GeckoOS and the Backup launcher 0.3 Gamma. I first tried with gecko, but it just stays there on the "LAUCHING GAME" part with nothing happening. So I decided to try the backup launcher. At first it didn't work, but after I installed the new cIOS, I tried it and it worked. The game started and I was on the main menu of the game. However, some parts of the menu was cut off, so I wanted to change my Wii screen option back to 4:3 first. So I pressed the middle button on the wii-mote to go back, however it became a blue screen instead when I clicked "MENU". I turned off and on my wii by pressing the button and when I tried again, the launcher didn't work, all I saw was a black screen now. Therefore I need help! Either on the 001# error or the backup launcher. I tried another game using the backup launcher and it didn't work either.... So I have no idea what's wrong. I really want to play Disaster: Day of Crisis. Please help me. Thanks!

History of department
The Università degli Studi di Milano's Dipartimento di Informatica, officially named
"Computer Science Department" in English, was founded on April 27, 2012, but its
roots date to the late nineteen-sixties and run through a series of transitional
moments. Its changes and growth have involved both informatics research and
the teaching of information science, in part because of the increased availability of
human resources and logistics. This has gone hand in hand with the size and
makeup of a student body that has been large from the outset.
Major dates in departmental history include:
1969: The GEC, or "Electronics and Cybernetics Group," headed by Giovanni
Degli Antoni, was founded at the Istituto di Fisica (in essence, the university's
physics department) and housed in Via Viotti 5 in Milan.
1977: The Istituto di Cibernetica was founded with Giovanni Degli Antoni as
1980: The four-year laurea degree program in information science was inaugurated.
1983: The institute moved to new quarters in Via Moretto da Brescia 9.
1984: The doctoral research program in informatics was founded, originally a joint
project with the Università di Torino and later as an independent initiative, which
grew into the Doctoral School in Informatics.
1986: The Dipartimento di Scienze dell'Informazione, or DSI, was founded (chaired
by: Giovanni Degli Antoni 1986-1991, Giancarlo Mauri 1991-1997, Mario Italiani
1997-2000, Elisa Bertino 2000-2003, Alberto Bertoni 2003-2009, and Massimiliano
Goldwurm 2009-2012).
1988: The department moved to new headquarters in Via Comelico 39.
1995: The five-year laurea degree program in informatics and the three-year diploma
in informatics were inaugurated.
1996: The extension facility for teaching and research in Crema (Province of
Cremona) opened in Via Bramante 65.
2001: The Dipartimento di Tecnologie dell'Informazione, or DTI, was founded at
Crema (chaired by: Nello Scarabottolo 2001-2007 and Vincenzo Piuri 2007-2012).
2001: Degrees were synchronized with other university plans as three-year programs
followed by two-year specialization courses.
2003: The Dipartimento di Informatica e Comunicazione, or DICo, was founded in
Milan (chaired by: Elisa Bertino 2003-2004, Goffredo Haus 2004-2010, and
Giovanni Pighizzini 2010-2012).
2006: The informatics research facility on the university's School of Sciences campus
in Via Celoria 20, Milan, was opened jointly by the DICo and the DSI.
2012: The Dipartimento di Informatica was founded (chaired by Goffredo Haus).
2014: The Via Comelico headquarters is scheduled to be moved to Via Celoria 18.
Also worthy of mention is the contribution of the historic group of informatics faculty
and researchers to the founding of new departments in this field at the Università
degli Studi di Milano Bicocca in 1989 and at the Università dell'Insubria in 2002.
2016: The academic Senate unanimously approves the proposal of the Department of Informatics to be entitled to Giovanni Degli Antoni.
The Evolution of Informatics Teaching
The teaching program in the information sciences has undergone major changes on
several occasions due to new standards set out by the Italian Parliament and the
ministry of education. Starting in the 1995-96 academic year, the laurea degree
program in information science underwent reorganization on the basis of experience
during its first few years. Initially, a five-year degree program in informatics was set
up, alongside a university diploma program (similar to an associate's degree) lasting
three years. Beginning in the 2001-2002 academic year, in step with Italy's new
three-plus-two-year structure for university careers, three-year degree programs were
opened in informatics (at both the Milan and Crema campuses), in digital
communication, in informatics for telecommunications (later closed), in the science
and technology of music communication (which later became music communication),
in technology for the information society (at the Crema campus, later closed), and in
information-network security systems (at the Crema campus).
During the same period, specialization programs were inaugurated in informatics, in
information and communication technology, and in information and communication
technology (at the Crema campus). These later grew into today's master's degree
programs in informatics, in communication informatics, and in information security
(at the Crema campus). Finally, in 2009, the three-year degree program in science
and technology for the study and preservation of cultural heritage was inaugurated,
with the Dipartimento di Informatica as its guiding force.
