Communication is key in any relationship. It is what starts and keeps successful courtship and marriages. Couples should learn to communicate well which will help them make the best of what they can offer each other to get what they want.
Here are 5 kinds of communication needed in every relationship:
From facial expressions to body positioning, even a certain kind of movement is a non-verbal communication. Couples who understand this kind of unspoken communication get along better in their relationship.
2. Emotional communication:-
When emotional communication is lost a relationship is doomed. Emotional communication tells you a lot about your partner and how you can solve issues whenever they arise.
3. Verbal communication:-
This is one sure way to have either a negative or positive communication experience with your partner. Whatever you say to each other can either make or break your relationship.
4. Auditory communication
Listening is a way to communicate effectively with your partner. Giving your partner your ears will help you meet them at their point of need which they'll really appreciate about you; it'll also give you an idea on how to respond whenever a discussion is going on.
5. Optical communication:-
The eye is the window of the soul. It simply means you see your partner for who they truly are than an outsider would. You see their faces when they talk, how their body reacts to you and other little things you'll remember for a long time. When you and your partner look at each other, the unsaid words are spoken directly to your souls.
Be inspired!

30 Seconds to Mars Hits Perth with a Monster Nexo Rig
Super group '30 Seconds to Mars' were recently on their 'This Is War' tour throughout Australia. Challenge Stadium was the home of their Perth show and Phase One Audio were called in to ensure the production excelled in every respect.
Above: Phase One Audio setting up Challenge Stadium Setup for 30 Seconds to Mars
As is often the case with large scale international acts, a very specific requirement for full audio coverage was required. In conjunction, the expectation for achieving the best sound were extremely high. The professional team at Phase One Audio had no problem meeting and exceeding the requirements with an impressive setup to say the very least.
The main PA was comprised of 30 x Nexo GeoD & 6 x Nexo GeoD Subs Flown (18 per side), 10 x Camco V6 and 4 x Camco 2oov Amplfiers as well as 2 x Nexo 242XT Processors.
The outhangs were made up of 12 x Nexo GeoS 1210's & 2 x Nexo GeoS1230's, 2 x Camco 200v's and 2 x Nexo 242 Processors.
Infills included 4 x Nexo GeoS 1230's, 12 x RCF S8028 Subs, 4 x Camco V6 Amplifiers and 1 x Nexo 242XT Processor.
Monitoring was handled by 4 x sends of PS15 and 10 sends of In Ears. Zoning was controlled by BSS processors.
Above: Sound check for 30 Seconds to Mars
The touring engineer was extremely impressed with the seamless audio transition from the outhang to the main PA which was a testimony to Phase One's professional aptitude in configuring the stadium.
Key personnel from Phase One Audio included Kade Ward (FOH), Scott Hay (Monitors) and Tim McNally (Stage Patch).

"While the fire service and emergency first responders are already benefiting from today's enhanced technologies and access to 'big data,' that existing level of access and usage merely reflects the tip of the iceberg," said Casey C. Grant, executive director of the Foundation. "Our ever-increasing sensor-rich environment is continually generating vast amounts of potentially useful information, so that the 'smart' fire fighters of tomorrow will be able to perform their work more effectively and efficiently than ever before."
With those emerging technological advances and access to data come questions about how to best exploit the deluge of valuable information in the context of fire fighting. The "Research Roadmap for Smart Fire Fighting" summary report begins to answer those questions.
"The roadmap will help to focus resources on research efforts that will enable timely and effective communication and information delivery to fire fighters when they need it," said Anthony Hamins, chief of NIST's Fire Research Division. "Leveraging today's communication, computing, sensor and networking technologies and growing on-line collections of useful data can greatly improve capabilities—both in preventing and fighting fires."
The report also addresses the power to compute and communicate data; the knowledge base and algorithms to most effectively process and convert it into significant knowledge and beneficial decision tools; and effectively communicate that information to those who need it - on the fire ground and elsewhere.
"What many people are calling the 'Internet of Things' may be the beginnings of a new revolution in technology," said NIST's Albert Jones, an operations research analyst. "The growing and ever-improving connectivity between the cyber and physical worlds presents tremendous opportunities for reducing the national fire problem."
In 2013, NIST provided funding to the Foundation to develop the "Research Roadmap for Smart Fire Fighting" report and engage in outreach to build relationships with the CPS (Cyber Physical Systems) community. Over the past two years, the Foundation worked in coordination with NIST and multiple experts to develop the project's findings.
"There is such an overwhelming amount of data and technology swirling around the professional community that will dramatically reshape and redefine the way the fire service and emergency first responders do their jobs in the years to come," said Grant. "It has been a true honor engaging the fire community and experts in the CPS field on this timely project, collaboratively working to ensure that we proactively address fire fighting and emergency responder safety in the new millennium."
The "Research Roadmap for Smart Fire Fighting" summary report can be downloaded for free. NFPA's Smart Fire Fighting page offers a wealth of additional resources and information on this topic.

The Desolation
A new Keys category has been added to the wallet, and it contains a currency version of several existing items. These items can be consumed to convert them into the new currencies. Content that once required these items to be in a player's inventory will now check for the currency instead. This change affects the following items:
A new Competitive Currencies category has been added to the wallet, and it contains the following currencies:
Some currencies in the wallet have been reorganized for consistency in grouping in the All Currencies view.
The Captain Mai Trin Boss fractal has a few pain points, namely the lack of diversity in the encounter, as well as the inability to progress the cannon transitions any faster through player skill. The fractal has been updated to reflect our new encounter-design standards and increase player engagement at all tiers.
The Molten Boss fractal was too short to be considered a full fractal, and it had some time-gated content that made replaying the fractal a bit tedious. Now, the fractal is full length and has received various improvements to bring it up to our new quality standards.
Two new Mistlock Instabilities have been added to the fractals.
Flux Bomb will no longer be able to appear in midair.
Long-term uses for fractal currency have been lacking, so new rewards have been added that can be purchased using fractal currencies and materials. Additionally, some rewards, such as fractal encryptions, experience, and karma, were inconsistent, with some fractals providing too much and some fractals providing too little.
Players can no longer mount or glide in the Free-for-All arena found in the Heart of the Mists.
Bug Fix:
* Fixed a server crash.
Bug Fixes:
* Raids—Hall of Chains: Completing the Statue of Darkness event will now properly reward an achievement.
* Raids—Hall of Chains: The Surging Souls pattern no longer causes an errant wave to appear.
* Brandstone elementals will now properly advance their kill objective in the Eye of the Brandstorm story instance.
* Raids—Hall of Chains: Fixed an issue that prevented the statue events from resetting properly.
* Raids—Hall of Chains: The Necro Dancer achievement now properly applies and reapplies the tracking effect when the encounter starts and resets.
* Updated the tooltip for the Resplendent Avialan to clarify that this item unlocks a raptor mount skin.
* Fixed an issue that prevented some players from reaching Istan.
* Fixed a bug that prevented Call of the Mists from being applied to players in the Hall of Chains raid instance.
mancer character of any race.
- The following weapons can be created with the new gift: Flames of War, Sharur, Shooshadoo, the HMS Divinity, the Shining Blade, and future legendary weapons that are part of this set.

LIMA-Mobil, Shell and Texaco-racing to install modern, well-lit service stations here-are finding consumers asking, "What in the world are these things?"
In fact, the concept of friendly attendants and station services like oil changes, car washes and convenience stores are so foreign to Peruvians that oil companies are unwilling to break major campaigns touting them until they have done more research.
After the gasoline industry was privatized last year, foreign competitiors raced to tap Peru, opening 15 new service centers around Lima, with 50 planned by yearend. But full-scale advertising of the U.S.-style stations is still two months away.
"What do people expect when they enter a service station?" asked Adolfo Dammert, director of Intercom/ DDB Needham, which holds the Mobil del Peru account. "We don't know. We lack studies. A campaign is premature."
In actuality, Peruvians expect very little. After the oil industry was nationalized in 1968, sale of all petroleum products, including gasoline and kerosene, came under government control. One- and two-pump operations staffed by gruff, dirty attendants dot the country. The stations are known as grifos, which also means "nozzle," summing up the idea that all they were good for was a fill-up.
Grifos are infamous for watering down the gas, overcharging and stealing gas caps.
"Gas service has always been old and bad," said Gustavo Sanchez, account executive at Publicidad Causa/ Leo Burnett. Causa holds the account for Shell del Peru, which runs small newspaper ads announcing the openings on new stations only.
Grifos were privatized last year as a part of Peru's neo-liberal economic reforms and a new hydrocarbon law that permits foreign petroleum commpanies back into a market abandoned 27 years ago. Now, for the first time, Peruvians can theoretically choose their brand of gasoline.
The gas is all the same, however. Until the state oil company is completely privatized by the end of this year, the service stations must buy gas from state oil company Petroleros de Peru. Since the service station therefore is the product, marketing will concentrate on image and service.
Shell has been the most aggressive so far. But it has failed to strike a definitive message that educates Peruvians to the coming change its service centers represent.
The campaign consists of full-page newspaper ads announcing the inauguration of each of six completed Shell service stations here. Without defining the service station concept, Shell promises speedy and personal attention, new and modern services and "sincere friendship."
The ad is driven by a color photo of the new station and the Shell logo. However, a public not familiar with the product cannot interpret the ad. The slogan "We are closer to you" leaves readers wondering what's closer, and whether that is good.
Shell officials declined to comment on the company's ad strategy. Publicidad Causa's Mr. Sanchez said it was important to acquaint Peruvians with Shell, even before defining Shell's product, and to be in the market first.
"The first blow is the most important," he said.
But people on the street equate the new service stations with the old grifos: It is where you go to buy gas.
"There is confusion in the market; people don't know what they are buying," Intercom's Mr. Dammert said. "This is the start of a big change. The question is, how well can these companies position themselves in the mind of the public?"
The first company to demonstrate that will be on the road to market leadership.

While using Test Driven Development(TDD) we need to mock class/interface for the testing purpose. I recently came through this error "Mockito can only mock visible & non-final classes" while using mockito to mock an interface. Everything was looking fine, yet I was getting – "Mockito can only mock visible & non-final classes" error.
Finally I got rid of the error after some searching. It was due to use of early version of JDK8. So I updated my JDK to latest version and the error was gone.
So, please update your JDK to latest version to resolve the problem.
Thank you.

Unless you grew up with goats, there's a good chance you know little of them beyond that occasional creamy cheese you lick from your sandwich wrapper. Goatlessness is a sad condition of urban dwelling, but it doesn't have to be. Goats are wonderful beasts -- intelligent, playful, and picky eaters who get sidelined in the public imagination as mindless garbage-munching creatures.
As one would expect, Northern California is rife with advocates who are ready to change our minds about that, and they'll be here Saturday to feed you and teach you about the glory of goats and all they produce at the Fifth Annual Goat Festival. The festival is the project of CUESA, the Ferry Building Marketplace, and the Northern California Makers of Goat Milk Products.

There's a lot to love about goats, and as a country, we are really quite late to the party. Goat is the most widely consumed meat in the world, and goat milk the most benign kind of dairy to our crotchety and fickle human bodies. Utility aside, goats are adorable. There's a better chance that your sidekick as a child, dear reader, was a puppy than it was a goat, but if you've ever seen a doe-eyed baby goat respond to its name, do a trick, let you dress it up and then jump into your arms, you know we've been missing out. Plus, you can't milk a puppy.
The festival is an orgy of goat fun. You'll be fed lots of goat cheeses, confections, and milk products, while slathering goat-milk-based cosmetics all over your body before galloping to the "petting stable" where Redwood Hill Farms will have deposited a pocketful of baby goats for you to cradle, coo at, and thoughtfully Instagram while maligning your childhood as a goatless waste.
If this doesn't adequately fill the goat-shaped void in your soul, there will be more -- classes and talks by goat breeders, lovers, advocates, and business owners. Beginning at 11am, there will be goat-centric food demonstrations by chef and nutritionist Cheryl Forberg and Alicia Jenish (Grand Café Restaurant). If you're harboring a pot of burning questions about goats, you can throw them to Scott Bice -- farm manager of Redwood Hill Farms and general goat expert -- who will be on hand as a bottomless trove of goat knowledge to put your mind at ease.
At the time of writing, we're coming off a rich and hefty Jersey cow milk bender. After a week of scooping the butter-yellow cream from the top of Jersey milk jars, we're feeling thoroughly hip, luxe, and sated. Switching milks sounded unthinkable, until we ran to the store during a prolonged bout of procrastination for some goat milk kefir (in the name of research), and found ourselves neck deep in creamy goodness. While we'd love to drown you in the sexy hyberbole of this milk experience, we'll just send you to the market instead.
You can find the schedule on the CUESA website.

How to Setup an IRS Payment Plan
An installment agreement allows you to pay your tax debt over time
It happens. Something unexpected occurs toward the end of the year to affect your tax situation, or maybe you made a mistake when you filled out your W-4 for your new employer. Now it's tax time, you've just completed your return...and you owe the IRS.
If you have little cash on hand, the IRS would much rather you pay them over time than not pay them at all and force them to take collection measures, so it offers a variety of payment options. Setting up a payment plan with the IRS is fairly easy. Either you or your tax professional can arrange for an IRS installment agreement to settle your tax debt in smaller, more manageable bites.
Setting up a Payment Plan
First, determine how much you owe in unpaid taxes. Contact the IRS or check your copies of your tax returns to verify the amount. The total will include your original tax due plus penalties and interest.
Now fill out Form 9465, the Installment Agreement Request. You can use the Online Payment Agreement Application on the IRS website if your tax debt is $50,000 or less including interest and penalties. Otherwise, you can download and complete the paper form from the website and mail it in along with IRS Form 433-F, the Collection Information Statement. It may not be necessary to file Form 433-F in addition to Form 9465 if you owe $25,000 or less.
The IRS will typically accept your installment agreement if you meet certain criteria: the total tax you owe does not exceed $10,000 and the monthly payments you have proposed will pay your tax debt in full, including interest and penalties, within three years.
Decide what day of the month you want to make your payments. You must make your payment by the same day each month. You can choose any day you want between the 1st and the 28th.
Choose your monthly payment amount—yes, you get to decide this within certain parameters, such as if you owe less than $10,000 and propose a monthly payment amount that will pay off the debt within three years, including penalties and interest. You must pay at least this amount each month, although you can always pay more.
The IRS will respond to your request in approximately 30 days.
The Cost of an Installment Plan
The IRS charges a user fee to set up a payment plan. As of January 1, 2018, it's $107 for direct debit installment agreements, $225 for new installment agreements without direct debit, or $89 for restructuring or for reinstating a defaulted installment agreement. Low-income taxpayers are eligible for special, lower rates.
Some Tips
You can also request an installment agreement over the phone. Simply call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040. They will send you the paperwork to fill out.
Ask a tax professional to help you set up a payment plan if you want to negotiate a lower monthly payment that fits more easily into your budget. You might also need help from a professional if you do not meet the criteria for automatic acceptance of an installment agreement.
The IRS will not approve your installment agreement if you have not yet filed all your tax returns, so you must be current before requesting a monthly payment plan.
If you are due a refund in future years, you will not receive it if you are currently paying off a tax debt under an installment agreement with the IRS. Your refund will be applied to your installment agreement balance.
Don't Miss a Payment
If you are paying by check or money order each month, mail your monthly payment to the IRS about seven to 10 days before the due date you have set up to make sure that the IRS receives it on time. The easiest and safest payment method is IRS Direct Pay, which is available online. Just log in with your identifying information, select "installment agreement" from the drop-down menu, and enter your payment along with your bank account information. You will receive a confirmation number immediately when your transaction is complete.
If you know you are not going to be able to make a payment, contact the IRS as soon as possible to avoid possible collection actions. The IRS will generally work with you.

Revolutionary Cells (German group)
|Revolutionary Cells
|Participant in Operation Entebbe and the German Autumn
|Area of operations
|Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine Uganda (1976)
| West Germany (1973–1990)
Federal Republic of Germany (1990–1993)
|Battles and war(s)
|Numerous bombings and one hijacking
The Revolutionary Cells (German: Revolutionäre Zellen, abbreviated RZ) were a self-described "urban guerrilla" organisation, that was active between 1973 and 1995,[1] and was described in the early 1980s as one of Germany's most dangerous leftist terrorist groups by the West German Interior Ministry.[2] According to the office of the German Federal Prosecutor, the Revolutionary Cells claimed responsibility for 186 attacks,[3] of which 40 were committed in West Berlin.[citation needed]
The Revolutionary Cells are known for hijacking an Air France flight in cooperation with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – External Operations (PFLP-EO) and diverting it to Uganda's Entebbe Airport, where the participating members were granted temporary asylum until their deaths during Operation Entebbe, a hostage rescue mission carried out by commandos of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) at Entebbe Airport in Uganda on 4 July 1976.[4][5]
Formed in the early 1970s from networks of independent militant groups in Germany, such as the Autonomen movement and the feminist Rote Zora, the Revolutionary Cells became known to the general public in the wake of the hijacking of an Air France airliner to Entebbe, Uganda, in 1976.
The Air France hijacking ended with Operation Entebbe, the Israeli rescue raid and the death of two of Revolutionary Cells' founding members, Wilfried Böse, called Boni, and Brigitte Kuhlmann. Böse's friend Johannes Weinrich, another Revolutionary Cells founder, left the group to work for Ilich Ramírez Sánchez – better known as Carlos the Jackal – together with his girlfriend Magdalena Kopp, later Carlos' wife.[citation needed]
Prior to the Air France hijacking, members of the later Revolutionary Cells took part in bombings of premises of ITT in Berlin and Nuremberg, the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany in Karlsruhe. Revolutionary Cells member Hans-Joachim Klein took part in the December 1975 raid on the Vienna OPEC conference, together with Carlos and Gabriele Kröcher-Tiedemann of J2M.[6]
In June 1981 Revolutionary Cells members bombed the U.S. Army V Corps headquarters in Frankfurt and of officer clubs in Gelnhausen, Bamberg and Hanau. When US President Reagan visited Germany in 1982 the Revolutionary Cells claimed responsibility for many bombs detonated shortly before he arrived, although federal prosecutor Kurt Rebmann said in early December 2008 that Revolutionary Cells were responsible for about 30 attacks over that year.[7][8]
The group is thought to have lost much of its remaining covert support amongst the radical left in the wake of the dissolution of the Soviet Union and subsequent German reunification. In a pamphlet published in December 1991, the Revolutionary Cells attempted a critical review of their so-called anti-imperialist and anti-Zionist campaign during the 1970s and '80s with particular emphasis on the ill-fated Air France hijacking and its much publicised segregation of Jewish and non-Jewish passengers.[9][circular reference]
The antisemitism supposedly evident in the Entebbe hijacking had become the focus of long-running internal arguments during which one of the Revolutionary Cells members, Hans-Joachim Klein, eventually left the movement. Klein had sent a letter and his gun to Der Spiegel in 1977, announcing his resignation.[10] In an interview with Jean-Marcel Bougereau,
Klein expressed the view that the two German political militants who had participated in the Entebbe operation were more antisemitic than Wadie Haddad, leader of the PFLP operational division, for planning to assassinate the famous Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal. Even the notorious political militant Carlos opposed this operation on the grounds that Wiesenthal was an anti-Nazi.[11][12]
According to Simon Wiesenthal (quoting Klein's Libération interview), the plot was first proposed by Wilfried Böse.[13]
Klein also announced that the Revolutionary Cells planned to assassinate the head of the German Jewish community, Heinz Galinski. The Revolutionary Cells responded to Klein's allegations with a letter of their own:
instead of reflecting on Galinski's role in the crimes of Zionism, for the cruelties of Israel's imperialistic army, you don't reflect on the propaganda work and material support of this guy, you don't see him as anything other than "a leader of the Jewish community", and: you don't reflect about what to do against this fact, and what could be done in a country like ours ... You avoid this political discussion and get excited about the maintained (anti-semitism?) fascism of the Revolutionary Cells and the men behind them.[14]
Klein hid in Normandy, to where he was eventually traced in 1998. One of the witnesses at his trial was his former friend, former German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer. In some accounts Fischer's break with the far-left was due to the Entebbe affair.[15][16]
This section does not cite any sources. (July 2012) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The core beliefs of the Revolutionary Cells can be understood as an amalgam of radical left anti-imperialist liberation doctrine mixed with strong anti-Zionist and anti-patriarchal feminist elements. The group stated that its participants should be regular members of society, in contrast to the more elitist Red Army Faction, which posited that revolutionaries should truly be "underground" (outside the socio-political system). Structured differently from the better-known RAF, or the more anarchist Movement 2 June, the Revolutionary Cells were very loosely organised into cells, making them much harder to capture. Its members were encouraged to remain "legal" – i.e., continue to operate from within society and even take part in the mainstream political process and its organisations, a tactic which led law enforcement agencies to refer to them at times as "weekend terrorists".[citation needed]

We've all got our kinks and quirks when it comes to getting busy under the bedsheets, but what about the clean-up operation afterwards? One Mumsnet user's post-coital routine erred just the wrong side of weird, causing the site's servers to strain under the weight of unexpected traffic as "Penis Beaker-gate" went viral.
Longtime Mumsnet user Sara Crewe described how she and her lover, rather than keeping a lamp and an old paperback on the bedside table, prefer to keep a beaker of water by the bed for a post-sex dick-gunk dunking.
"We have a dedicated post-sex cleanup area on the bedside table. A box of tissues, a small bin, and a beaker of clean water for temporary cleaning/dunking while the bathroom is occupied by me," Crewe revealed.
"Apparently our penis beaker is strange and not the done thing."
That's one way of putting it! Am I the only person who is reminded of the "pale ale" scene from American Pie?
"On a daily basis we get about 300,000 visits to the site and at the moment it's looking like today's traffic will be more than double that. Frankly our poor old servers are beginning to creak as the thread goes viral," explained Mumsnet co-founder Justine Roberts.
"Mumsnet is a go-to destination for straight answers when you need to ask life's important but often embarrassing questions. And a recurring theme is 'is this normal behaviour?' Obviously it can be a bit of a blow to find out that it's not."
Anyone want to one-up the penis beaker? A hoover at the foot of the bed perhaps? [Mumsnet via Telegraph]

Solo: A Star Wars Story is the least epic installment of the franchise so far. It's a fun ride for sure, but a decidedly more commercial venture. The film does not dig deep into the character of a far away galaxy's favorite scoundrel. It is a summer, sci-fi popcorn flick. Loaded with action, ticking off the requisite boxes along the way. We get the expected first meetings, a whole bunch of new faces, and a surprise slab of filet mignon red meat. Lucasfilm lobs a twist grenade that will have fandom in a tizzy. Enough said, but it is remarkable. The studio is clearly charting a new direction.
Alden Ehrenreich stars as Han, a gutsy street kid on the ship building planet of Corellia. Criminality reigns, the dreaded Empire turning the cheek as long as the ships fly. Han steals to survive, along with his best friend and partner, Q'ira (Emilia Clarke). He dreams of being a pilot, owning his own ship, and embarking on exciting space adventures. But the evil grip of Corellia is strong. Han must depend on his tremendous guile to escape. A chance encounter leads the headstrong youth to Tobias Beckett (Woody Harrelson), a seasoned smuggler with crack shot skills.
Star Wars is referred to as a space opera. Solo bucks the trend on purpose. It is not aiming for that level of drama or detail. Solo never sits still long enough to establish nuance. The film is a classic example of the ten pages and a bang theory of filmmaking. Unlike Rogue One, it isn't tethered to a specific incident. The goal here is to introduce the known characters in different, interesting settings. There isn't a concerted build-up to their primary interactions. The script by Jake and Lawrence Kasdan can best be described as fleeting in its approach. I can see how this material, in the hands of Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (The Lego Movie), could become too comedic; or prone to improvisation. The co-directors were replaced by Hollywood titan, Ron Howard, during filming. His steady hand is evident. Howard delivers a serious tone when needed, but the focus is clearly on action-adventure.
Alden Ehrenreich gives it his all as Han Solo. He has the mannerisms and wide grin down pat, but unfortunately doesn't pull off the swagger of Harrison Ford. The character feels rehearsed. Also, and this bothered me continuously, Ehrenreich looks too short. In scene after scene, his stature, relative to his co-stars and Chewie (Joonas Suotamo), seems diminutive. That's tough criticism that Ehrenreich should not have to face. The production team needed to address the height disparity in a better way. I think Ron Howard would have handled this issue differently if he had been there from the beginning.
Two standout performances achieve greatness in Solo. Donald Glover absolutely nails Lando Calrissian. He's so good it's uncanny. It's almost as if his body was overtaken by Billy Dee Williams. Woody Harrelson owns the smuggler routine with gusto. He's the wily veteran showing the young pup the ropes. His role could have been rote and cheesy, but Harrelson brings the gritty gravitas. Ehrenreich is the star, but Harrelson is the backbone of Solo. He's not quite Yoda, but an effective teacher for sure.
As a diehard Star Wars fan, I expected more introspection. Han Solo is a complex figure. He's heroic, selfless; laughably hubristic. The Skywalker saga is rich in detail. I was looking forward to Solo giving Han more of that treatment. He's pretty much the character we know from the start. We learn how he gets the Millennium Falcon and meets his lifelong friends, but it doesn't feel like enough. Solo is akin to a Cliff's Notes or Wikipedia summary. You're taught what happens, but have nothing invested in the story.
Solo is the first Star Wars film where I didn't feel inspired to turn around and watch it again immediately. That's not a negative, just an honest appraisal. The film is quite entertaining, not a boring frame to be found. It just doesn't leave you awestruck. You get Han Solo 101, but Lucasfilm is more interested in setting up the secondary courses. Solo leaves audiences with an enticing reveal. We'll see where the charming scoundrel goes from here.

Medical publishing in Australia continues to buck media trends with the latest industry research revealing continued high overall readership of medical titles and a surprisingly strong commitment by doctors to print as well as digital products.
According to the Medical Publications Readership 2017 survey, print is read by 95% of GPs nationwide. Countering any argument that doctors are too time poor to consume media, the busiest GPs (defined by the survey as those who see more than 31 patients per day) reported the highest readership. Of those, 83% had read Australian Doctor in the past week.
Australian Doctor retained its reign over the market and stemmed a 5-year decline in print readership with the 2017 results showing almost three in four (72%) GPs regularly read the print publication. On two other key measures in the survey – depth of readership and regularity of readership – both Australian Doctor and Medical Observer trumped the other titles.
"While we all go to great lengths to innovate and augment our offerings with digital products that cater to our readers' every need, we can't forget the power of print and its relevance to our readers," says Bryn McGeever, managing director of the Australian Doctor Group (publisher of Australian Doctor and Medical Observer).
This year, digital engagement was measured for the first time with Australian Doctor outperforming all other publications in terms of digital reach on a daily and monthly basis. Almost one in two doctors visited Australian Doctor's website in the past month, ahead of the next most visited website, the RACGP's Australian Family Physician with reach of 34% of GPs.
The numbers at a glance:
E-newsletters (EDMs), widely regarded as the biggest traffic driver to digital assets, proved popular as shown by the survey results. On a daily basis, GPs turn to Australian Doctor and Medical Observer EDMs more than any other in the market providing a powerful channel for marketers.
"When you also factor in our wider digital network that delivers content – 6minutes, specialist updates and our recently launched clinical website HowtoTreat.com.au – our engagement with doctors across Australia is enormous," says McGeever.
"We reach 85% of Australian GPs and have 100,000 touchpoints with GPs every month. For cross-channel marketing campaigns, this is extremely powerful and unparalleled in the market."
"The data shows digital is a strong tactical execution in addition to print for clients wanting to target doctors with advertising or branded content," says McGeever. "And the more integrated those campaigns, the better."
The annual survey, sponsored by the Medical Publishers Association, surveyed 4200 GPs with a response rate of 20% (854 doctors).

It just wouldn't be Thanksgiving if there wasn't a glorious pumpkin pie on the table! This one is sure to please your guests, with a flaky, buttery crust, a smooth spiced custard filling, and an unforgettable garnish of crunchy candied pecans!
It all begins with the pastry. This recipe yields the most incredibly flakey result, thanks to a few deft folds, and a bit of patience with the chilling. Cold butter is so key to a perfect result when it comes to making pies, so it really pays to make the dough ahead of time so it has plenty of time to chill.
After rolling it out, transfer it to your pie tin, and use a sharp paring knife to cut away any excess. The scraps can be used to create a fun decorative edge!
While the pie shell chills, you can get going on the filling. This pumpkin custard is super-smooth and creamy, thanks to a quick whirr in the KitchenAid® Pro Line® Series Food Processor. Pumpkin puree, cream, brown sugar, eggs, and spices come together for an easy pie filling that's so comfortingly familiar!
Transfer the pumpkin pie filling to the prepared shell…
…and here is where you can really let your creativity shine. I cut small circles of dough from my leftover dough scraps using the larger end of a piping tip. Adhere them to the edge with a little egg wash, and then brush them with more egg wash, to give them a golden shine.
And then into the oven it goes! This pumpkin pie will make your whole house smell incredible!
The crowning touch to this wonderful dessert is the candied pecans. Pecan halves are coated in a mixture of spices, and baked crisp. They're light, sweet and savory, and warmly spiced, with a bright hint of citrusy orange. Completely addictive! And the perfect seasonal complement to an iconic Thanksgiving dessert.
Be sure to share your pumpkin pie with us on Instagram using #MadeWithKitchenAid for a chance to be featured.
Pumpkin Pie with Candied Pecan Topping
For the pumpkin pie
1/2 batch Simply Perfect Pie Dough
15 ounces (425 grams) pumpkin puree
1 1/2 cups (375 milliliters) heavy cream
3/4 cup (137 grams) lightly packed dark brown sugar
2 large eggs (100 grams)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 2 teaspoons of water)
For the candied pecans
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
A pinch of ground cloves
Zest of half an orange
1 egg white
1 1/2 cups (148 grams) pecan halves
For the pumpkin pie
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
On a floured surface, roll out the pie dough to about 2-inches larger than the diameter of your pie plate. Line the pie plate with the dough, and trim off excess with a sharp paring knife. Refrigerate. Cut small circles from the dough scraps, to decorate the edge of the pie crust. Refrigerate.
Place the pumpkin puree, cream, brown sugar, eggs, spices, and salt in the bowl of a KitchenAid® Pro Line® Series Food Processor. Process for about a minute, or until well incorporated. Transfer the filling to the reserved pie shell. Brush the crust edge with egg wash, and arrange dough circles in a decorative pattern. Brush decorative edge with egg wash.
Bake for 15 minutes at 425 degrees F, then lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F, and bake for an additional 40-50 minutes, or until set around the edges but still slightly soft in the center.
Cool completely. Garnish with Candied Pecans just before serving.

As teachers in developing countries, WorldTeach volunteers often work with talented and inspiring students who have overcome enormous challenges. One WorldTeach volunteer in Rwanda, Emma Eck, taught one of these students, Samson Ndindiriyimana, and was able to help him acquire a scholarship to study in the United States. Now, Emma is organizing a fundraiser to help Samson obtain a surgery that will help restore his hearing; Samson has had to surmount great odds as a deaf student and this surgery will allow him to hear again for the first time in 19 years. Read on to learn about Emma's experience working with Samson in Rwanda and her current fundraising campaign…
I am currently organizing a fundraising campaign to benefit a former Rwandan student of mine named Samson Ndindiriyimana. He has been deaf since age 7, when he contracted meningitis in a refugee camp for Rwandan genocide survivors. Nearly 19 years later, he has the chance to undergo an operation that will restore his hearing. I created a video and a GoFundMe fundraising page to help cover surgery and physical therapy costs not covered by student insurance.
Out of hundreds of students that I taught in Rwanda, I'd say that Samson was in the top three. He probably had the best written English, although he has never heard a word of spoken English. Back when Samson was my student, I knew that he had a very good chance of acing the Rwandan National Exam, which would put him in the running to compete for a Presidential Scholarship to study in the United States. During a short trip home to the United States, I purchased an American Sign Language dictionary. When I returned to Rwanda, I handed it to Samson and told him that he had better start studying now if he wanted to get to the United States. I think he thought I was joking, but regardless, he started studying ASL religiously. Samson did get top marks on the National Exam (as I was sure that he would), but afterwards he expressed to me the futility of attending the scholarship interview. I told him to show up with his ASL dictionary and a personal essay in hand. I was sure that he would make an impression.
And what can I say? Just as I had been, the interviewers were blown away by how much Samson was able to accomplish despite his disability. He won a prestigious Presidential Scholarship which covers all of the costs for Samson to live and study in the United States. The universities that partner with the Rwandan Presidential Scholars Program scrambled to find a host family that could accommodate Samson's needs as well as make accommodations for Samson during classes.
Two years later, Samson is now a sophomore at Hendrix College. He's studying to be a civil engineer, and this summer he will be conducting Special Education research in East Africa. He hopes to be instrumental in the establishment of the first public high school for deaf students in Rwanda.
It's quite possible that Samson would have made it to where he is now without me and without WorldTeach. After all, he is a quite remarkable fellow. But I like to think that I, along with the WorldTeach Rwanda Program, had an instrumental (albeit small) part to play in Samson's success. This is the best of what WorldTeach has to offer: a chance to make a difference in the life of someone who is going to make an even bigger difference. That's why we do what we do.

'I knew this could be my whole career,' Olsen testifies
Thu., March 12, 2009
After he shot Shonto Pete in the head on a February night in Peaceful Valley, suspended Spokane police Officer Jay Olsen said, he felt his life imploding.
He didn't call 911 or for police backup. He thought about his career as 15 minutes ticked by just before 4 a.m. Feb. 26, 2007.
He knew he'd violated police rules by getting drunk in a bar while carrying a concealed weapon. He feared his new police chief, Anne Kirkpatrick, who'd told officers during her first months on the job that she'd fire anyone who lied to her.
"I knew this could be my whole career," Olsen told a Spokane County Superior Court jury Wednesday.
"I knew there was going to be a big investigation, and I knew where I just came from. Dempsey's is a gay bar, and that was where I was at," Olsen said.
Olsen described himself as a closeted gay man who hadn't shared his secret with his police co-workers and only came out to his family – including his police sergeant brother, Eric Olsen – two days ago.
"I've had this secret in my department for 16 years. … I'm trying to get control on all of this," Olsen added.
Olsen said he deliberately ignored one of the first officers who responded to the shooting, Spokane police Sgt. Joel Fertakis, because he'd given Olsen lukewarm performance reviews and had made anti-gay comments within the Police Department.
"The worst person in the world was in that car," Olsen said, describing his reaction when he saw Fertakis' unmarked police vehicle on West Main Avenue. After walking past Fertakis, he placed a cell phone call to Mel Champagne, a Spokane lawyer and family friend.
The jury heard Champagne's name, but Superior Court Judge Jerome Leveque has not allowed the attorneys to tell jurors he's a lawyer.
Olsen accused Pete of stealing his truck that night after the bars closed downtown, but Pete was acquitted of theft charges by another jury in October 2007.
Under questioning from his lawyer, Rob Cossey, Olsen said he and his friend Renee Main were on "overload" and she was hysterical after they watched Pete take Olsen's truck on Lincoln Street as they sat in Main's sedan. He said they pursued the truck onto West Riverside, where Pete jumped out and Olsen followed him on foot.
"Did you call for backup or 911?" Cossey asked.
"I did not. … In hindsight, I should have," Olsen replied.
Pete has given a different story in Olsen's trial on first-degree assault and reckless endangerment charges. Pete testified that he and Olsen exchanged insults after Pete approached Main's car and asked for a ride home on the cold winter night. Pete said Olsen began to give chase in his truck as he walked away.
Both men were drunk at the time, according to court documents.
Olsen gave his version of what happened on the steep bluff above Peaceful Valley after he and a fleeing Pete jumped a guardrail on Riverside Ave.
"I continued down the embankment. It was very slick. That's where he first turned on me," Olsen said, saying Pete swung his hand threateningly.
"I honestly feared for my life. I took two or three shots," Olsen said. "Based on my training, there was no doubt in my mind I was going to be done that night," Olsen said. Pete was unarmed except for a small pocketknife.
When people move threateningly, police are trained to respond "with lethal force," Olsen added.
After Olsen moved 10 to 12 feet, he said, Pete turned on him a second time, and he fired again.
"Then Pete yelled, 'You hit me.' … I said, 'Stop, get down,' and he just kept going," Olsen said.
After Pete ran toward a cluster of houses, "I didn't see him again," Olsen said. "I stood there. The threat was done."
In cross-examination, deputy prosecutor Larry Steinmetz asked Olsen if he intended to kill Pete.
"I was shooting to stop the threat – not to put a bullet in Mr. Pete's head," Olsen replied.
"If you didn't intend to kill or seriously injure Mr. Pete, how did he have a bullet in his head?" Steinmetz asked.
Olsen said he was sliding down the steep hill while firing and the bullet likely deflected off a tree.
"You heard (Pete) testify the bullet went in from the rear of his head. That would indicate he wasn't looking at you," Steinmetz said.
"That's not correct," Olsen replied.
Steinmetz also pressed Olsen on how much he'd had to drink. Olsen's blood alcohol level was later estimated to be between .07 and .13, according to Washington State Patrol toxicology tests. The blood alcohol limit for driving a vehicle is .08.
Spokane police Officer Zachary Dahle testified that Olsen wouldn't have been allowed to drive with that blood alcohol level.
"Were you too intoxicated to drive a motor vehicle?" Steinmetz asked.
"Based on Dahle, yes," Olsen said.
Olsen said he'd had a drink at home and took it with him on the road before meeting Main, his best friend, at Dempsey's Brass Rail about 11:30 p.m. They had more drinks and left the bar around 2 a.m.
Both smelled strongly of alcohol and had red eyes when detectives questioned them after the shooting, according to previous trial testimony.
"My plans were to get in my car and drive home. In hindsight, it wouldn't have been a good idea,"Olsen said.
Olsen was suspended with pay the day of the shooting, in accordance with Spokane Police Department practice for an officer-involved shooting. After his arrest for Pete's shooting April 13, 2007, he was put on unpaid layoff status.
Olsen admitted he violated department policy by drinking in Dempsey's while armed with a concealed weapon – his personal Glock pistol.
Police officers are encouraged to carry guns even when off-duty, but are discouraged from carrying a concealed weapon where alcohol is consumed, Olsen added.
The Glock is the same type that Spokane police detectives use and the Police Department had approved the use of his personal weapon while off-duty, Olsen said.
"Would you recommend anybody have alcohol around firearms?" Cossey asked.
"No. I hunt and I never drink when I hunt," Olsen said.

It all started with my crown.
I noticed thinning — again. And usually, by the time I notice MY hair is thinning, I'm a week away from bald.
I knew fenugreek seeds were good for hair growth. I had a jar from my cactus fenugreek addiction. I stopped throwing away the leftover seeds and started using them to thicken plant-based conditioners.
Fenugreek seeds, when applied regularly to the scalp:
- enhances hair growth and hair re-growth
- preserves hair's natural color
- gives hair a silky feeling
- adds shine and gloss
- softens hair
- treats dandruff
- decreases hair thinning
- stops hair loss
Video | Lavishly Natural's Fenugreek Smoothie for Natural Hair Growth
The Fenugreek Smoothie is:
- a great detangler (it has the perfect amount of slip) on dry or wet hair
- requires less than 2 minutes to make (but six hours to get ready:)
- and it will grow your hair (with noticeable results) within 30 days
Bold claims right?
This smoothie helped stop the thinning drama at my crown COMPLETELY.
Test this recipe to see if you get similar results. Share them in the comments!
The slippery elm bark is optional in the recipe, but it gives it such a great creamy feel. It's also the ingredient that turns your left over fenugreek smoothie into a conditioning pudding. It has the texture of a pudding and goes on like a cream. This recipe will last in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks. Just stir it before using.
Food-based Substitutions for Coconut Cream
If you don't have coconut cream, try some of these substitutions. These are the ones I've tried. If you have more, leave them in the comments!
Use 2 tablespoons of any of the following:
- avocado
- bananas (mashed and pureed)
- coconut butter
- honey
- molasses
- maple syrup
- raw agave syrup
Hard Water Alternatives
I like to save the water the fenugreek seeds make for hair rinses. You may want to add more liquid to your smoothie or pudding. If you're looking for hard water alternatives, try these:
- distilled water
- aloe vera juice
- green tea
- hibiscus tea
- fenugreek hair rinse
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar in 2 cups of water
Fenugreek (Methi) Seeds: Natural Hair Growth Herb of the Year?
Fenugreek seeds are high in Vitamin A, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, iron, selenium (relieves stress), magnesium (natural muscle relaxer), flavonoids, potassium, zinc (creates feelings of peace and relaxation), folic acid (helps prevent autism), and thiamin.
Other Fabulous Fenugreek Benefits:
- heals the mucous membranes of the body
- has an anti fungal, antibacterial, and ant inflammatory effect on the body
- used for upset stomach, digestive problems, constipation, and gastritis (inflammation of the lining of the stomach)
- high in fiber and protein
- contains choline, which studies have shown slows mental aging, and calms the symptoms of pms and menopause*
- naturally boosts libido
- blood sugar regulator – controls blood sugar for Type 1 & Type 2 Diabetes
- helps stimulate contractions during childbirth
- good for heart health, prevents hardening of the arteries
- increases energy and stamina
- great for use as a topical treatment for burns, boils, eczema, and gout
- anti pollutant for the body
- prevents fibroids
- stimulates hair growth
- increases milk flow in nursing mothers – even in the midst of a mild case of mastitis, I discovered. Fenugreek seeds contain a compound called diosgenin*, which is what many believe increases the milk flow. This same compound, along with other key nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, is what herbalists believe boosts hair growth and thickness.

A wonderful stop-motion animation about the inner voices that either help or hinder us in our attempts to pursue creative endeavors. Very sweet, very true to the way a mind works.

Humorous and wise, this film shows the constricting and circular nature of not just greed, but human nature itself. Stop-motion animation written and directed by the talented Kevin Parry. Check out his short film blog.

Using mixed media, including oil, two-dimensional and three-dimensional art, this melancholy story is woven from the story of two boys, drawn to different paths, violently re-connected. Its bleak tones reminded me of The Snowman by Briggs, and contained a timeless noir akin to Program, directed by Kawajiri from the Animatrix series. The fourth film by Hisko Hulsing, I'll be following his work closely.

A rich and whimsically shot piece with a humorous message for the procrastinator. My eye was drawn especially to the coloring, the extremely serious expression on Ms. July's face and little details such as the curled meniscus of cranberry juice over the egg-shell frock.
