Fishing Report by Lilley's Landing.
Lake Levels and Generation: Probably the most important part of this fishing report is, "What is the water doing?" That's been the emphasis of my reporting since May 1st when we saw the third highest water release from Table Rock Dam – 63,000 c.f.s (cubic feet per second.)
Table Rock is at 928.25 feet. It dropped .42 of an inch the past 24 hours. The ideal level is below 920 feet, but the power pool level is 917 feet.
They are releasing 9,800 cfs of water through the spill gates and 9,745 cfs through the turbines at Table Rock Dam, totaling close to 20,000. Taneycomo's water level at the dam is 712.20 feet. Power pool, or the level with no generation, is 701.3 feet.
The water temperature below the dam varies, depending on which side of the lake you're on. On the spill gate side (south), it's about 63 degrees. On the turbine side (north), it's about 52 degrees. Downlake, we're seeing water temps about 59 degrees. Of course, this temperature will only rise as summer days approach.
This weekend marks the fourth week of spill gates being opened at Table Rock Dam. There has been a large number of fish that have washed over the dam and into Taneycomo, warmwater fish. We've seen, and caught, gar, crappie, white and black bass, spotted bass, blue gill, walleye and smallmouth bass. As a matter of fact, if you drift on the south bank you will catch mainly smallmouth and white bass, very few trout! It's crazy!!
If you do drift the south side of the lake from the dam (cable), you MUST watch out for the first island of trees. You don't want to drift into these trees!!
There are a lot of ways we've been fishing in this area, many have not been conventional ways to fish for trout. One way would be to drift a crank bait on the bottom. Duane Doty found that if he cast out a Bomber Fat Free Shad (or something close to this bait) towards the dam (while drifting), cranked it down to the bottom and then let it just drift, it would stay there, digging its bill into the bottom as it ran down lake. This has caught some big trout, mainly brown trout.
A more conventional way of fishing this stretch is drifting white jigs, shad flies and small stick baits. We've also done well throwing sculpin jigs, too.
While they're running 20,000 cfs, a double jig rig is good to get to the bottom, and you have to be on the bottom to get bit!!! The current is so fast up there, the fish are either along the banks or on the bottom where the current is much slower. We're tying two 1/8th-ounce white jigs 18 inches apart using four-pound line. You can jig this rig a little, but it's mainly just drifted. The strike is pretty hard.
Using a drift rig with a 1/4-ounce bell weight, tie one or two of these flies: Shad fly, #12 – #16 gray scud, pink San Juan Worm or an egg fly (Y2K). Use 4x or four-pound line.
Duane has been drifting from the cable all the way down to Fall Creek. The last couple of days, the stretch from Lookout Island to Fall Creek has been the most productive. But the warmwater fish have been closer to the dam on the south side.
The current at Fall Creek is really fast, too fast to drift, in my opinion. If you want to fish that area, I would start drifting closer to the Riverpointe boat ramp and drift down lake. Actually, the best catching has been just above our place (Lilleys' Landing) and drifting down to the Branson Landing.
But the hot spot has been drifting from the powerlines above Monkey Island down through the bridges using Berkley's Power Eggs – white/pink or white/orange. And the rainbows we've seen caught are nice ones! There's been very little fishing pressure on these fish for weeks. This has given them a chance to grow. Again, you need to be on the bottom to do well.
If you want to throw jigs and lures, work the slow side of the lake using white or dark 1/8th-ounce jigs, stick annd crank baits. The Flicker Shad has been a good lure lately. It's caught several big browns and rainbows.

The beauty of video games is how they can take us to far-off places in a way that no other medium. It's an immersive experience that allows you to discover worlds full of magic, excitement, unique characters, and unforgettable moments. Sadly, that freedom of expression can also deliver grimace-inducing moments you'd rather soon forget.
While video games beautifully balance intense visuals with captivating narrative, it is not removed from terrible voice acting, awful scripts, and exploitative scenes – not so different from similar mediums such as film or television.
What makes video games unique as a medium is that it puts you in complete control of the action, captivating you in the digital story unfolding before your very eyes as you control the perception and adventure according to your perspective. Video games are a profoundly personal experience. It gives the visuals a sense of realism and plots life as it unravels according to the choices you make as a player. Video games may be more sophisticated and complex than they've ever been, but that doesn't mean that the industry has shifted away from its crude juvenile humour or its desire to deliver quantity over quality. Many games still cater to a wider audience rather than challenge the norm. This means that there's still a plethora of ill-conceived moments we gamers can uncomfortably revel at.
Here's our definitive list of the most uncomfortable cut scenes in video games. They're cringe-inducing, awkward, and deeply embarrassing.
Honorable mention goes out to Dead Space 3's needle in your eye scene, which starts off as a cut-scene, but then has some interaction from the player.
Be warned, potential spoilers ahead.
15 The Death of Sarah
With an opening that immediately plunges you into the emotional story of The Last of Us' savage post-apocalyptic world, it's hard not to get drawn into the narrative built before you.
A heartbreaking opening sequence to the game, The Last of Us puts us in the shoes of Sarah, the protagonist's daughter, as you try to make sense of the unravelling world around you. It's an intense opening segment that sets the tone for the game and the emotional trauma you'll endure.
It only takes 15 minutes to build an emotional connection with Sarah and perhaps a lifetime to get over the emotional toll of witnessing her getting gunned down in the arms of her father. You can only look on in helpless disbelief as Sarah suffers in agonizing pain. And as she utters her last breath and Joel's devastating pleas goes unheard, the scene fades to black.
14 Far Cry 3's Ending
Far Cry 3 is a heavy game.
An immersive open-world game, it makes you wrestle with your moral compass as you decide just how deep the rabbit hole really goes. The emotional weight reaches Atlas-like proportions the further into the game you go and the choices you make along the way have devastating consequences.
Like a twisted Choose Your Own Adventure book, the choice you make at the end of Far Cry 3 determines the cut scene you're rewarded with. If you choose to venture along the path of the Sith, you're rewarded with an awkward and violent sex scene.
A narrative whiplash that showcases the diminished shred of your humanity, this sex scene is as perverse as it is disturbingly intimate. The soundscape of Jason enjoying the sins of the flesh is only cut short by Citra stabbing you in the chest post-coitus, a welcome release from this horrific visual assault you've just witnessed.
13 Silent Hill's Lisa
Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro is a generational artist. It should come as no surprise then that Silent Hills P.T., a collaborative work between del Toro and Metal Gear's Hideo Kojima, would be lauded as one of the purest and smartest horror games to come out in recent years.
In the playable teaser, you encounter a hostile and unstable apparition, a tormenting spirit that can spell your grisly demise. When the ghost of Lisa attacks, it is terrifyingly scary and unexpected, yet the tension buildup within the game makes it an immersive part of the experience rather than a mere jump scare tactic. It's a brief cutscene, less than fifteen seconds long, which is than enough time for you to mentally curl up into a fetus position and perhaps even soil yourself a little. And you can only stare at the screen helplessly as Lisa munches on your decaying corpse as everything fades to black.
12 Dead Or Alive
A series that has spawn numerous spin-offs, Dead or Alive has a collection of in-game moments that fall beyond the simple scope of uncomfortable, but rather, the embarrassingly creepy.
Every time a new Dead or Alive game came out, fans would revel in only one thing – and no, it wasn't the colourful cast of characters, all with their own unique backstories, nor was it the unique fight game system – rather, it was the shameless "attributes" of certain characters. Attributes that seemed to move with a mind of their own.
A now defunct franchise, if Dead or Alive can be noted for any sort of service to the video game industry, it could possibly be their greatest achievement to date – their graphical innovation of impossible physics – namely video game breast physics. Wicked's Defying Gravity comes to mind when you play this game with its juvenile humour. It was a fan service to 12-year-old brains everywhere.
11 Kratos' Sexcapades
Kratos may have been known as the God of War, but he would have been better served as the God of love and sexual desires.
For the most part, the God of War series is a straight-up masculine fantasy series where the Hulk-like protagonist barrages through swarms of mythological beasts and undead, hacking-and-slashing, with fun puzzle games thrown in-between to keep the gameplay fresh. But the game is still a gratuitous male fantasy, as evident in the needless mini-games throughout the series. Kratos fighting style and kill count is only matched by the number of women he's bedded – as passionate when he swings his sword as when he swings... his sword.
Despite the gratuitous nature of these mini-games, they still fall within the narrative of Greek mythology. After all, Zeus did impregnate the wife of a king while transformed as a swan. Though that still doesn't mean these scenes aren't awkward af.
10 Raiden Hangs Loose
The sequel to the much beloved game Metal Gear Solid surprised fans of the series when they introduced the more agile Raiden, a ninja-like character who stands in place for Solid Snake. It came as even more as a surprise when in the third act of the game, you were "exposed" to just how emotive and "vulnerable" Raiden could be.
After being captured, Raiden escapes, completely butt-naked of course, and as you sneak your way through Arsenal Gear, you're presented opportunities to see if you can catch glimpses of Raiden's virtual crown jewels. Admit it, you tried to position Raiden in such manners (You can tell us, we won't tell a soul).
You may have felt a little undignified as you ran around naked, always tactically keep one hand well-positioned, but just imagine this – some poor developer had the job to render all of this – crown jewels and all.
9 The Probing Of Randy Marsh
South Park has had its controversial moments. No religious, political figure, or famous individual is safe from the clutches of Trey Parker and Matt Stone. A show that's hilariously clever and on the borderline of downright offensive, South Park carries this legacy on in their game, South Park: The Stick of Truth.
A lampoon of the RPG genre, The Stick of Truth has many moments of shock value. But none stand out more than the awkward and outrageous scene involving Randy Marsh. Having been abducted by aliens, you're required to free Randy Marsh to progress the story via a mini-game reminiscent of Bop It. Failure to follow the button presses of the mini-game results in Randy's punishment. It's a scene that's vulgar, yet unforgettable – even if you wash your eyes out with soap.
8 The Princess And The Hedgehog
What is it about endearing animals that we just love to anthropomorphize? The anthropomorphic sub-genre is big business, creating memorable characters and games that we all love – Ratchet and Clank, Club Penguin, and Pokémon. However, perhaps no character is as beloved as the titular hero Sonic the Hedgehog.
A series with its innocence value cranked to 10, Sonic games have always had a touch of child-like wonder, that is until you play Xbox 360 exclusive Sonic the Hedgehog.
The game titters between the creepy and uncomfortable as you're forced to bear witness to the protagonist and human princess Elise flirt with each other. It's a nightmarish fan-fiction come to life. The climax between Elise and Sonic's relationship is cringe-inducing as you're forced to watch human Elise kiss Sonic on the lips, in true Sleeping Beauty fashion. You can only look on in disbelief as the scene unfolds and the image is forever burned into your memories.
7 Singing In The Rain
Enigmatic, deadly, and decidedly mute. These are just the few words to describe Big Boss' sniper companion, Quiet. Making her appearance in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Quiet became an immediate fan favourite thanks to her skills in the battlefield and her impressively, not-so-subtle, virtual "assets" that are always absurdly positioned in a way that borders on the creepy.
While there are numerous "erotic" cut scenes we could have chosen from – her lengthy shower scene with Snake or how she dangles over you in a helicopter, we've decided to go with the rather unnecessarily lustful scene of Quiet playing in the rain at Mother Base.
A cut scene only available after you've bonded high enough with her, return to Mother Base during rain season and Quiet with disembark the helicopter and seductively play in the rain – wearing practically nothing as the rolls around on the Mother Base platform in full view of her comrades and the player.
6 Tidus' Laugh
As classic fan favourite when ranking video game cut scenes, Tidus is the main protagonist of Final Fantasy X, a game with a rich cast, intriguing narrative, and cut scenes that only Square Enix can deliver.
In the infamous Final Fantasy scene that's captured the Internet, spawning memes and numerous recreations, Yuna and Tidus are up against the impossible – which can weigh down even the most determined hero. In order to try and cheer up Yuna, this cut scene unfolds, with Tidus bellowing the most forceful and unnatural laughter anyone's ever heard. The writing for this scene is terrible, but it's the almost robotic laughter emitting out of Tidus that makes you wonder what the developers were thinking when they put this scene together. Yuna best captures our thoughts when she utters the words, "you... probably shouldn't laugh anymore." We couldn't agree more Yuna, we couldn't agree more...
5 Be-Witching Magic
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings is a beautiful fantasy world built in the realm of magic and unbelievable beauty. However, that's not to say that it doesn't have it flaws. Or unnecessary dirty dad jokes.
Take the cut scene where Siska has fallen ill for example. To remedy her back to health, mage Philippa must heal her with a magical flower, which requires application by means of a kiss. An endearing scene right? It is until the dwarf Skalen Burdon declares, "My favourite type of magic – Lesbomancy."
Somehow in this magical world, dirty dad jokes have found its footing, yet inner monologuing is awaiting to be discovered. It's a lame remark that's completely unnecessary – considering the considerable amount of good mature content available throughout the game. The sheer awkwardness of the remark and its poor timing is a facepalm moment the game did not need.
4 I Wonder What's For Dinner?
If you were able to guess the next game on our list purely from the title alone, pat yourself on the back because you're a true Legend of Zelda fan.
Considered by fans and critics alike as one of the worst video games ever, Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon is an obscure Legend of Zelda game released in 1993 by Phillips CD-i. Infamous among fans for its terrible script, dialogue, voice-acting, and animation, The Wand of Gamelon is a disservice to one of the most enduring video game franchises of all time. The scene's direction feels forced, with its embarrassing animation sequence and voice acting that's similar to a middle school class play that you're forced to sit through – uncomfortably because your child is in the play. In this case, it's because you're a true Zelda enthusiast, for which we're forever sorry.
3 Buried At Sea
Bioshock Infinite: Buried at Sea is the game's episodic expansion – a DLC and prequel to the events of the original Bioshock.
The scene in question takes place in Episode Two, where the protagonist, Elizabeth, must endure a transorbital lobotomy at the hands of Rapture antagonist, Atlas. Set in a first person perspective, the scene is so vivid and masterfully crafted that the player can't help but feel a fragment of Elizabeth's pain – helped thanks in part to the scene's red flashing visuals. Utterances of agony are endured while Atlas continues to interrogate Elizabeth about Andrew Ryan's "Ace in the Hole." An incredible sense of realism induces anxiety and panic thanks in part to the vibration of your controller as Atlas picks further into your brain. A flash of white light ends the excruciating experience, but this cut scene is one you won't immediately forget.
2 You're Special
The winter portion is a dark time in The Last of Us. Joel and Ellie get separated and we're introduced to David – leader of a merry band of raiders and, of course, cannibals.
The definition of creepy, David stands out in a game filled with a memorable cast and supporting roles in part because as a player, you can't immediately put your finger as to what's off about his character. That is, until David approaches Ellie in her jail cell to try to recruit her over to his side with a sales pitch of food and the idea that Ellie's "special," all the while disturbingly laying his hand on top of hers. Vomit-inducing and immediately sends shivers down your spine.
If there's any scene that makes you feel like you need an adult, it's this – just not David. We don't need that kind of adult supervision.
1 No Russian
"Remember – no Russian."
The utterance of these three words and a cut scene no longer than 20 seconds has sparked one of the most controversial scenes in any video game, let alone the Call of Duty franchise.
The fourth mission in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, "No Russian" places you undercover as CIA agent Joseph Allen, implanted in Makarov's terrorist cell as Alexei Borodin partaking in a mass shooting at Moscow International Airport. As a player, you get the choice of participating in the murdering of civilians or not, or you can skip the stage entirely. If you choose the former, you fire randomly in the unsuspecting crowds, causing mayhem and carnage as you send people running and screaming away in fear and terror.
It's a scene so egregious it causes uneasiness, even among those with the most iron constitution. An examination of interactive atrocities, solidifying itself as number one on our list.

The 'Dreaming Spires' of Oxford – the description coined by poet Matthew Arnold in 1865 – dominate the skyline of Oxford, and the Radcliffe Camera is the most distinctive of them all. Everywhere the student, the resident or the visitor goes in the city centre, the Camera seems to appear: glimpsed through a gap between buildings, down a narrow side street or, as here, reflected in the windows of the Old Bodleian Library.

While my son and I waited for his dentist I picked up a replica of Business Week. More people are working at minimal-wage jobs that keep them out of unemployment statistics however do not pay enough to carry them out of poverty. On the earth of the battle of concepts, it isn't necessarily what's being talked about in the present day that what has bankrupted America was the exportation of jobs immediately, however this has long started if we heed what Magdorff wrote about in 1963.
In his barracks room, investigators discovered white supremacist material, a declaration that Barack Obama was a home enemy of America, and plans for Obama's assassination. David's Americans for Prosperity(AFP) spent the opening months of the Obama Presidency placing calls and helping to arrange the very first 'tea party' protests.
"What we are taking a look at today is admittedly the results of a long time of eroded protections for workers and only a declining number of good jobs," she stated, noting that public medical health insurance packages for poor children and adults and cash welfare assistance and other social safety internet measures have been slashed.
I would agree that there are other adverse factors comparable to cronyism which can result in the flawed folks being promoted into jobs they cannot adequately deal with – all such wrongly thought out causes for promotion ought to be avoided in favour of promotion on merit for many who have the genuine potential to truly do a extra pressurised or skilled job.
Lim argues that social media may be considered both as know-how and space for increasing and sustaining the networks upon which social actions rely†(Lim 2012, p.234) Twitter itself states, And with only a Tweet, thousands and thousands of people find out about or present their help for optimistic initiatives which may have otherwise gone unnoticed" (Twitter†2013).

- Introducing the class "Clean-Up Job" wheel – where each student has a job he/she is responsible for that day
- Completing our "Alphabet Snakes" for our scrapbooks. The kids' letter and sound recognition continues to improve! Keep practicing at home too :)
- Seeing Baby Ava roll over on Thursday!
- Visit from "Zero the Hero" on Friday for our 50th Day!
We will focus on the letter "Hh" this week. In Math, we will practice printing our numbers 5-10 and Mrs. Atkinson will be by to build on our patterning skills. We will continue to talk more about Social Responsibility and how to react to our feelings in appropriate ways (e.g., it's ok to feel angry/sad/upset/frustrated, but it is never okay to hit/punch/bite, etc.). Ask your child to tell you about "Anger Mountain" and what strategies he/she can use to calm down before he/she reaches the top of the mountain. The kids loved reading the book about this topic called, "Soda Pop Head" by Julia Cook. They also loved playing "Rock, Paper, Scissors" as a strategy to problem solve when we are having a difficult time taking turns. This week, we will focus on what being "assertive" means and what we can do when we need help (problem solving rather than "tattle telling). Our class, along with Mrs. Hyslop/Dhaliwal's will be singing "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" at the Winter Concert. We will start learning the lyrics and actions this week. We have also set aside several blocks of time over the next two weeks to practice in the gym so the students will be ready to perform on December 16th and 17th! More info. about what clothing to wear for the concert will be shared at a later date.
Students will be dismissed early at 12:30pm on Thursday, Dec. 3rd due to Parent-Teacher interviews occurring from 1:30-3:00pm. These interviews are not mandatory as I met with nearly every family in October :). I have sent home notices to those families that I would like to meet with at this time. If you did not hear from me, then "it's all good" (as Pete the Cat would say- another one of the kids favourite books).
Menchies order forms are due the morning of Friday, Dec.4th. If you have not already done so, please return your "Count On Me" Math event form so I can give final numbers to the facilitator.
- Our playdough is getting pretty flakey and dry. It would be wonderful if someone could donate a new batch :)
- Please leave the black clip on your child's agenda. This is a much better "bookmark" alternative to the flimsy rulers that keep falling out!

This document describes how to manually populate a series with data points. This approach is used when the number of points is relatively small. To learn about an alternative approach, refer to the Specify Series Data Members topic.
After you manually create a series, it is not displayed unless it has points.
A series points collection is easily managed via the Series Collection Editor, which is invoked by clicking the chart control's smart tag, and choosing Series... in its actions list.
After the dialog is invoked, choose a series on the left side, and in the Points tab, create points by specifying arguments and corresponding values for them. Note that for certain series view types (such as Bubble and Gantt), each point should have more than one value.
When specifying point arguments and values, you should note the series scale type. By default, the scale type is set to Auto for series arguments, and set to Numerical for values. You do not usually need to change the argument scale type of the SeriesBase.ArgumentScaleType property because the type of series point argument is detected automatically, based on the underlying data type. If you wish to change the value scale type, use the SeriesBase.ValueScaleType property.
To remove a created point, right-click the point's row, and in the invoked menu, choose Delete. Points can be reordered in a similar way.
To learn about the most valuable series options, refer to Customize a Series.

Barbarians at Thiruvaiyaru
I visited Thiruvaiyaru, where the great saint-composer Thyagaraja lived and composed wonders.
His house has been restored by barbarians. Bizarre ideas like ugly metal gates, shocking gold paint, absolutely ugly sculptures, bathroom tiles - oh God, where did these idiots show up from??? What have they done to our heritage??
Inside you see horribly painted walls, with pictures of other musicians - and hold your breath - photos of politicians leering down, taking credit for this 'restoration'! What could be more outrageous???
The house opposite - very humble - is probably what Thyagaraja's house actually looked like. Now we have a concrete monstrosity, and no one can imagine that great musical wonders took form there. India is destroyed by modern vandals, clueless about aesthetics, philistines with no sense of colour, proportion and heritage.

Ardha matsyendrasana, Seated Spinal Twist, is described and illustrated in Fig. YPS.10 (page 129). You can help a partner stretch even further in this position.
Have your partner sit on the floor with his or her trunk, neck, and head erect. Your partner's right leg is bent with the sole of the foot outside the straight left leg. Your partner's right arm is straight out behind him or her and the partner's left hand hugs the right knee.
Kneel behind and to the left side of your partner, facing him or her. Place your right hand on your partner's right shoulder to help it open, and place your left hand on fbk your partner's left shoulder and encourage it to open and rotate forward. Maintain this position of support as your partner takes several deep, full breaths, opening and rotating even further to the right with each breath.
Have your partner release from the pose, and then repeat Seated Spinal Twist on the other side of the body as you provide assisted support. When your partner has completed Seated Spinal Twist on both sides of the body, change roles: You assume Seated Spinal Twist successively on each side of your body while your partner assists you.

See the World, 32″ x 24″, oil on linen
This fall, I finally completed a figure painting that I began the year before. It's the first one I've completed that includes a still life object and a landscape as well. I was inspired by a variety of old master portraits of young gentlemen posed with an air of mystery and perhaps even mischief.
Below is a photograph of the finished painting sitting in a frame, although this work has yet to be varnished. I set the painting outdoors for the photo, hoping to capture the colours in daylight. Unfortunately, the skin tones are coming across as too red, regardless of which device it's viewed on…
Shortly after I set my brushes down, I created a short video using my iPad. My objective was to showcase a new piece of work and tell the viewer the story behind it, the sources of inspiration and some of the techniques used. Making it was fun!
Below is the link to the short video I created for this painting and posted on my YouTube channel.

AADS Faculty Issue Statement on Pending Campus Carry Law
Thu, October 29, 2015
I want a gun free UT because...
October 29, 2015
In this country, which devalues black life as one of its founding principles, the expansion of citizens' rights to bear firearms facilitates the violent deaths of Blacks. Accordingly, the faculty of the African and African Diaspora Studies Department (AADS) opposes the implementation of Texas SB11. This law will allow the more than 800,000 Texas Concealed Handgun License holders to carry their concealed weapons into buildings on our campus.
Allowing firearms on campus places UT's Black population in a particularly vulnerable position. Many of us are concentrated spatially, politically, and intellectually in Black Studies. Ours is a particularly controversial discipline that deals with provocative themes such as anti-blackness, white supremacy, patriarchy, homophobia, economic oppression, and crosscutting differences and power. Black Studies grapples with these issues and the Black experience in general as a part of scholarly endeavors that aim to promote social justice and equity. Educational exchanges around such subject matter are often highly charged, difficult, and consequential. It is not uncommon for AADS faculty to be the object of documented threats and harassment in our offices and lecture halls. The presence of firearms will not only stifle the free exchange of ideas but can be the basis for deadly violence against us in these often fraught settings.
Moreover, African Americans are disproportionality affected by the saturation of our society by firearms. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention the death rate due to gun violence for Blacks is more than twice that of whites. Vigilante and extra-judicial killings of Black people, as well as the police-involved shootings that saturate our news coverage and our daily lives, point to the distinctly vulnerable position of Black people when it comes to firearm violence. Applied to our situation here at UT, in the presence of firearms the probability that bullets will find us is higher than for any other campus population. At the same time, racial bias functionally excludes Black people from accessing the rights afforded by campus carry legislation, as we would be more likely than our white counterparts to be perceived as actionable threats by fellow citizens and police officers alike.
When it comes to Black lives and the matter of guns in UT buildings, the State and the University have a responsibility to protect and defend those who are most vulnerable. Therefore, we demand that firearms be banned in all spaces occupied by Black people on our campus.
We also stand with other groups on our campus who are often impacted by firearms and other forms of violence, particularly members of the University's LGBTQ community, other people of color, and all women. Accordingly, we would join with them in any request that guns be completely banned from the UT campus.

The dogs have destroyed another piece of furniture, note the duct tape over the hole in the expensive leather recliner.
Eddie had a sweater for the cold, Pugs are not cold weather dogs. The "experts" say that Pugs are inside dogs, I wish they'd told Eddie that, he loves being out with his "little sister", C. A. P. Meanwhile Cochise' Apache Princess doesn't understand why her momma lets Ming and Eddie in the chair with her but won't let the youngest puppy up there. As you can plainly see, C. A. P. is just a little tiny puppy, born to snuggle in the chair with her momma or daddy.
We let Eddie out in the cold with his sweater on, he came in without it. I found it the next day, chewed up and useless. We had to get dogs. We couldn't get a watchgoldfish or a lap snake, no, we had to get dogs.

if in thail it dont work ,even thails have problems translating written words as they dont know how they have been sung ......
Hi all - just wondering if anyone brought something called a language Translation device. I've seen these advertised on you tube and I'm thinking to buy one.
The one I've seen is from a company called "awesome stuff 365".

I would love one that translates Samsung. That would be awesome
If you're offended by any assistance I give, it says far more about you than it does me.
Google Translate on a smart phone does an excellent job. If you download the languages you want to use you don't need an Internet connection. Even better it now has a two way conversation feature that works really well on the iPhone. I presume it also works on Android but I don't know.
I have the Microsoft translator on my android phone. I find it very useful, and it's free
My wife uses one i do not know which but it does seem hit and miss ,when she struggles to find what something is called in English even i get frustrated with her saying the same words into phone ,
I don't know which system Facebook use but it should be avoided. Translating Thai posts to English on Facebook produces nothing but gobbledegook.

Global food trading giant Cargill has reported on progress towards various CSR goals after posting enormous revenues for 2017.
Building on strong earnings in the latest fiscal year, which saw the company turn over $109bn, Cargill is working to continue growing its business and corporate responsibility impact.
"We are proud of the momentum we have generated this year and look forward to continued progress as we help build the food system of the future," said Chairman and CEO David MacLennan and Executive Vice President and CFO Marcel Smits in the annual report.
"We know we have a clear contribution to make in the world. Working with farmers, customers, communities and other partners, we look forward to making powerful progress."
The annual report, which covers business results as well as corporate responsibility and sustainability efforts, outlines how Cargill is realising the benefits of two years of work to build a more integrated, agile and focused organisation.
In the last year, the company established a new strategic direction, and reshaped its business portfolio with investments in strategic acquisitions, joint ventures and new and expanded facilities, as well as divestitures in non-strategic assets.
Some highlighted progress includes:
Cargill is one of the largest US corporations in the world, with 150,000 employees spread across 70 countries.

I was up late last night, thinking, "why does everybody else get to be a cool cult leader, and not me?" After pondering this for a few hours, the Lord was kind of enough to answer. He said, "go for it." And so it was done.
Why do I want to be a cult leader, you ask? Before killing themselves in some mass-suicide, religious fanatics get all the chicks. Since all the women that are members of their cult believe they are God, or a messenger of God, they can have any woman they want. "Hey, baby - I'm God, you wouldn't reject me, would you?" I mean, how could you turn that down? But, at the same time, I will not take advantage of my power as a psychotic nut controlling the minds of a bunch of morons. I will be fair in my judgements, and just with those that I judge.
What will I call my cult? I thought "Gilligan's Gate" had a nice ring to it (plus, it was easier than making a logo of my own). Would you like to follow me? I'm taking applications right now. Qualifications? All you really need is to be, A.) Naive B.) Easily brainwashed C.) Willing to relocate and kill yourself at my whim.
So, read the information below, and if you find that I'm the right fanatical-nut for you, apply today! How do you apply? Simply send me an email!

If you're just dipping your toes into natural dyeing, tea is a great dye to try first. But years later, I still love dyeing with tea. This tutorial is a little bit special… wait until you see the patterns!
Why do I love dyeing with tea so much? Almost all of us have some tea in the back of a cupboard, it contains tannins and dyes fibres amazingly well. Plus you don't need any special equipment – you can use your cooking pans as we are working with entirely edible dyes.
In this tutorial I'll show you how to dye your own furoshiki-inspired fabric wrapping cloths. It's a perfect project for an absolute beginner in natural dyeing. I've used black tea, rooibos and dried nettle leaves for the colours.
Plus, this is a great zero waste idea. I used an old cotton bed sheet and tea I had in my kitchen. You could certainly reuse old tea bags or loose tea leaves to make the dye!

We've partnered with HelloFresh to share this post. Thank you for supporting our sponsors!
I'm going to be completely honest here: I didn't always get the appeal of meal delivery services. It seemed gimmicky to me. I'm an almost 100% from-scratch home cook. (Okay, more like 85%.) I try my best to avoid processed foods (except tortilla chips…ahem). We eat loads of veggies and whole grains, minimal meat, poultry, and dairy. I'm trying, is what I'm saying. But that also means I spend a lot of time in the kitchen preparing our meals.
That's not a bad thing, except sometimes I just don't have the time to go shopping for groceries or cook our meals. And I don't want to hit up the neighborhood pizza place or the dreaded drive-thru for burgers and fries either. Sometimes that's okay, but for all of those other nights, I need to have some kind of trick up my sleeve. And that's where HelloFresh comes in.
Why should you give HelloFresh meal delivery a try? Well, because it will save dinnertime at your house, plain and simple.
Here are all the reasons why I will definitely be using HelloFresh from now on.
1. It comes straight to my front door in a chilled box (NO styrofoam!) with sustainable, recyclable, and/or reusable packaging.
2. The meals are separated into their own boxes with a coordinating recipe card…and the ingredients are all pre-measured. I repeat: the ingredients are pre-measured.
3. You don't even have to unpack the meals boxes, just stick them right into the fridge. No more hunting for that cilantro you swear you bought.
4. The meals are easy to cook (and easy to eat!). Nothing takes more than about 30 minutes. That means you can come home from work or picking up kids from dance class and music lessons and still get dinner on the table in a jiffy. (Sign me up!) This is a real bonus if you're someone who doesn't enjoy cooking.
5. Um, it goes without saying, but the meals are delicious. Delicious!!! I don't know why I never thought to combine grilled halloumi with roasted veggies and top everything off with my favorite sauce, chimichurri, but I don't think I can ever live without it again. For real. It's that good. The combos are things I may never have tried, or thought of, or been exposed to. Which leads me to #6…
6. You'll be exposed to new ingredients (like halloumi), flavors, cuisines, and cooking methods you may never have tried before. The world's cuisine can literally be at your fingertips. Because it's so fun, too, if you've got picky eaters, they may even be more likely to get brave and try new foods. It's working at my house!
7. You'll probably save money. Have you ever gone to the grocery store to pick up something for dinner and then $150 later you still don't know what to make? Yeah, that never happens to me either. (Okay, it happens all the time. But not anymore! I'm a changed woman!)
8. It is fun to receive the shipment, crack it open, and start cooking, especially if you've got help in the kitchen. It's a great activity to do with your significant other, friends, family, whomever you want to cook with. I am a firm believer that food and its preparation and enjoyment bring people together. My kids LOVE opening up the boxes to see what's inside. The step-by-step photos on the recipe cards are great for beginning cooks.
9. If you've got dietary restrictions, there are options for you! We chose the vegetarian plan as a way to enjoy more meatless, veggie-centered meals. If you're gluten-free, there's an option for you too!
10. If you're like me, chances are HelloFresh will help you enjoy cooking again. Promise. This is a hard one for me because my job is so food-centered. The burnout is real.
When I'm not getting dinner on the table and when it feels like a chore (a miserable one at that), I miss out on our family dinnertime conversations and just being together. Not to mention I hate that frazzled feeling when everyone comes to the kitchen to scrounge up something to eat. HelloFresh is saving dinner at my house one meal at a time. Even if you're not using HelloFresh on a weekly basis, chances are you'll feel inspired to be in the kitchen and cooking more. And that's the biggest plus of all for me.

This post contains SPOILERS for Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Star Wars: The Last Jedi director and writer Rian Johnson had almost total creative liberty while working on the movie, explaining that there was not a set narrative arc for the sequel trilogy. Of course, there is the idea that it will be a three-film chapter from the famed saga, but Lucasfilm did not mandate specific narrative beats that he needed to hit, and with an interconnected franchise as big as Star Wars, that is quite a surprise.
Luke Skywalker is now gone, the Resistance is on the run with a crew so small that they could all fit in the Millennium Falcon and the First Order is extra volatile now that they are reigned over by an emotionally-driven leader. That's where Johnson's The Last Jedi leaves the plot. While some fans are still reeling after what went down in Episode VIII, JJ Abrams is already hard at work crafting what's next for the still-untitled Star Wars: Episode IX - which at this point, could be anything.
Johnson, alongside producer Ram Bergman, recently sat down with Deadline to talk about their latest and arguably biggest undertaking to date, The Last Jedi. In the conversation, the director was questioned about whether there is a clear-cut arc that the current trilogy is going through, and surprisingly, it turns out that nothing massive was set in stone before he boarded the project:
"Not really. That's what's been really cool about the storytelling process. There is definitely the idea that we know it is a three-movie arc. We know the first film is an introduction, then the middle act is training, meaning challenging the characters. The third is where they all come together and you have to resolve everything.
But I was truly able to write this script without bases to tag, and without a big outline on the wall. That meant I could react to what I felt from The Force Awakens, and what I wanted to see. I could make this movie personal. I could also just take these characters where it felt right and most interesting to take them. I think part of the reason the movie feels like it goes to some unexpected places with the characters is that we had that freedom. If it had all just been planned out and written down beforehand, it might have felt a little more calculated, I suppose."
Johnson reiterating that there is no set bigger picture that Lucasfilm is trying to go for with the current trilogy makes JJ Abrams' work on Episode IX much more interesting. A huge part of the reason why The Last Jedi has been controversial with regard to the film being divisive is that it's a highly cerebral film. Instead of straightforward storytelling, it forces people to ponder on its story, leaving a lot of things open to interpretation, and that results in varying opinions on it. Right now, the person whose perspective of the film is the most significant for the saga moving forward is Abrams.
Abrams' task to open and close the sequel trilogy is unique, especially with a film as jam-packed and unconventional (at least for a Star Wars film) as The Last Jedi in the middle. Much of what was set-up in Star Wars: The Force Awakens that many were banking on to be the big hooks of the trilogy ended up barely significant in Episode VIII, and that's probably a good thing when one considers that fans were vocal about wanting something different. It's also essential to shake things up if Lucasfilm is serious about keeping the franchise going for the long haul. Johnson took a lot of chances with the premise that was handed to him, and some of them will have major ramifications on the lore as fans know it.

Sri Lanka was formerly known as Serendib (from which the word 'Serendipity'derives) and more recently as 'Ceylon'.
Shaped like a teardrop and situated just off the southern coast of India this country of diverse beauty has long been known as the pearl of the Indian Ocean.
This country has everything especially in the realm of natural attractions, among them; a myriad of cultural sights, including seven World Heritage sights. Of course there are many magnificent beaches, with the famed Mirissa Beach regarded as one of the most picturesque on earth and Arugam Bay recognised as an up-and-coming international hot spot, Hikkaduwa Beach and Negombo Beach, north of the bustling capital Colombo, are also gorgeous and extremely popular.
It could be argued however, that the very best of Sri Lanka can be found inland, as idyllic as the coastline is, this is where you find the real Sri Lanka. Ancient, mystical temples, spectacular waterfalls, vast tea plantations, verdant hills and valley, quaint villages, amazing wildlife (including elephants, leopards and monkeys) and so much more. Sri Lanka presents visitors with a riot of colour, a potpourri of gorgeous aromas hanging in the air, plus scores of must-see's such as the remarkable hill town of kandy, the ancient city of Anurandhapura and the simply irresistible Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage. All of this awaits you!

10 Tips for Pacifier Safety
Pacifiers are a great way to soothe your baby, and according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), they may help reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). For maximum safety with a pacifier, follow these recommendations from the AAP:
- Don't substitute a bottle top & nipple for a pacifier. If you ran out of the house and forgot your child's pacifier at home, you may be tempted to put together the ring top and nipple from their bottle as a quick fix. This, though, is a choking hazard. If your infant sucks hard enough, she could dislodge the nipple from the ring, making it difficult to breathe.
- Purchase the highest quality pacifiers. Pacifiers, like anything else, are susceptible to wear and tear. Buy a pacifier that you are sure can't separate into pieces that would be small enough for your child to choke on. The AAP recommends choosing a pacifier that is made from one solid piece of molded plastic.
- The AAP recommends that pacifiers must be at least 1 and a half inches across, so that your child can't fit the entire pacifier into the mouth. Pacifier shields should be made from strong plastic that has holes for ventilation.
- Never tie a pacifier around your child's neck, crib or hand. Tying the pacifier to the child or crib could result in a serious hazard that could result in injury or even death.
- Pacifiers need to be replaced occasionally. Make sure that your child's pacifier is in good condition - no cracks or breaks in the nipple or plastic, all parts are still attached. It's also important to pay attention to age guides for pacifiers, as toddlers could potentially choke on newborn pacifiers.
- Be sure that you clean your child's pacifier often. If your child drops the pacifier anywhere, wash it in the kitchen sink with hot water and a non-toxic soap. You can also check your specific pacifier to determine if you can put it in the dishwasher or boil it to sanitize.
- Have extras! It's almost a guarantee that your child is going to drop a pacifier or two throughout the day. If you see your child drop their pacifier, immediately replace it with a clean one that you have stowed in a convenient place (living room, kitchen - it's a good idea to have them in a few places). This way, you'll have a constant supply of pacifiers.

A couple of weeks ago, both me and Jamie were very kindly invited down to Lush York to come and check out their newly refurbished store, and after having an amazing evening checking everything out, I thought that I would tell you all about it.
What happened when I visited Lush York.
Once we had eventually arrived in York, we walked over one of the many Bridges that are dotted around the City Centre, and eventually arrived at Lush York, which is located on Coney Street opposite the Starbucks in York City Centre.
Once we had walked into the spacious and newly decorated store, we were both very kindly greeted by a really nice woman, who said hi, and asked us our names. We said that we were Luke and Jamie, and after a second or so of her checking her guest list, she said to go on through and grab ourselves a drink. We were then greeted by another really nice woman who said hi, and asked us if we would like a drink, to which we both of course said yes. She then said that there were two to choose from, a really nice Blackcurrant and Elderflower Juice or a lovely fresh Orange Juice, and after a second or so of us deciding what to have, we both went for the Blackcurrant and Elderflower Juice as we thought that it sounded really nice, and with our drinks in hand, we started to wander around the store and check everything out.
Then after a couple of minutes of us wandering around and checking everything out, the really nice manager gathered us all around her and started to introduce herself, the rest of the wonderful team, and tell us a little bit about what would be happening throughout the evening, including that there would be a few demonstrations of some of Lush's latest releases. She then said that they were holding a little Instagram competition, where we could win one of Lush's amazing gift sets, and after us all taking our pictures, we wandered around for a minute or two before she gathered us all around her again, and one of the other staff members started to tell us all about Lush's Gourmet Soaps.
She told us that there were currently only two fragrances available, Rose Argan and Olive Tree, and that they're both full of skin nourishing and softening ingredients that are all sourced through SLush, Lush's ethical sourcing program, and then she passed a block of each fragrance around for us all to smell and feel. Then after a minute or two, she asked me and Jamie if we would like to give the Rose Argan Gourmet Soap a little try, to which we both of course said yes, and she started to give us both a little hand massage using the incredibly squishy soap.
I'm not usually a massive fan of Lush'sRose Argan range, as I tend to find that it smells incredibly sickly sweet, but I actually quite liked this, as all of the skin softening ingredients had muted it a little. I also loved that this left my hand and arm feeling incredibly soft.
Then once we had both finished our massages, we just wandered around for a little while, before another one of the friendly staff members gathered us all around her, and started to tell us all about the Yellow Submarine Bath Bomb. She said that it contains Brazilian Orange Oil and Coriander Oil, and that it also floats around the bath for a few minutes before dissolving to create gorgeous feeling water, that will leave your skin feeling silky soft. She then passed a bowl around with one in for us all to have a smell and feel of.
I really liked it's smell, and thought that the water felt incredibly silky, but I don't think that it had totally dissolved, as I got my hand absolutely covered in powder.
Then once she had finished demonstrating the Yellow Submarine Bath Bomb, another one of the really nice staff member started to tell us all about the Metamorphosis Bath Bomb, and how it contains Black Pepper Oil, Cinnamon Leaf Oil, and Myrrh Resinoid to give it it's deep spicy scent, and that it also changes colour when it's in the bath. She then again passed around a bowl for us all to have a smell and feel of.
I definitely think that this had to be one of my favourite smells of the entire night, as it just smelt so masculine and spicy. I also loved that the water left my hand feeling incredibly soft.
Then after a couple more minutes of us both wandering around and checking out their new haircare area, another really nice staff member gathered us all around her, and started to tell us all about the Scrubee Body Butter, including that it's both a scrub and a body butter, and that it contains Honey and Cocoa Butter to moisturise the skin, and Ground Coconut Shells and Almonds to give the skin a light scrub. She then passed one around for us all to smell and have a try of.
Even though I did think that it smelt incredibly sweet, I did actually quite like it, and i'll definitely be picking one of these gorgeous looking Body Butters up very soon.
Then once she had finished demonstrating the Scrubee Body Butter, another friendly staff member started to tell us all about the Sleepy Body Lotion, including that it contains an Oatmeal infusion, Lavender Flower, Lavender Water, and Cocoa Butter, to moisturise the skin, and leave it smelling incredible. She then passed a little tub around for us all to have a smell and try of.
I'm not usually a massive fan of Lavender scents, but I actually didn't mind this too much, as it had a very muted scent to it. I also liked that it left my hands feeling and smelling incredible for the rest of the night.
Then after all of the demonstrations had finished, we just wandered around and checked out a few more of their new areas, including their face care area and their fragrance area, before a really nice staff member asked Jamie if he would like a personalised skincare consultation, to which he of course said yes. We then went off to one of the tables where she started to ask him a few things about his skin, including his skin type, and his current skincare routine, before going off and bringing back a few products for Jamie to try on his hand.
Then once Jamie had finished his skincare consultation, we just wandered around for a little while longer before deciding that it was time to head off. So I went to the check out to pay for the Stairway To Heaven Soap and Sugar Daddy-O Solid Conditioner Bar that I had picked up during the evening, but as I was finishing paying, the really nice staff member behind the till gave both me and Jamie a massive goodie bag, which contained a Yellow Submarine Bath Bomb, a Metamorphosis Bath Bomb, a tub of Sleepy Body Lotion, and a bottle of Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster Mouthwash Tabs. We then said our goodbye's and thank you's to all of the amazing staff, and headed off back into York to catch our train.
I had an absolutely amazing evening checking out the newly refurbished Lush York store, and if you haven't already, I highly recommend that you pop in and say hi.
I would just like to thank Lush York for having both me and Jamie, and for hosting such a fantastic evening.
Have you visited the newly refurbished Lush York store yet? What do you think of it? What's your favourite Lush product? Please let me know down below.

That could very well be the case. My Jan. '43 F15A has the underslung towing pintle, a friend of mine has a '45 F15A with the towing pintle at frame level.

In-store GPs at Sainsbury
Supermarket chain J Sainsbury has revealed plans to open GP surgeries in its stores. The company has held talks with ministers with a view to potentially establishing over 200 practices.
The move comes after the Government's Our Health, Our Care, Our Say White Paper opened the door to private providers to set up practices in competition with GPs.
A spokesman for Sainsbury's said it had a 'natural affinity' with health and was already looking at where it could house surgeries.
He also confirmed that its chief executive Justin King had met Caroline Flint, public health minister, and that the company had committed to opening at least one surgery.
Others were likely to be located in stores in deprived areas and those with a pharmacy attached, he said. Sainsbury's has 161 in-store pharmacies and plans to open 50 more.
The company would use alternative provider medical services (APMS) contracts to set up the practices and is likely to employ salaried GPs.
GPs said the in-store practices could increase health inequalities and worsen GP shortgages.
Dr Helen Alpin, a GP in Leeds, said supermarket GPs would be attractive to the middle-classes but less accessible for those with disabilities or mental health problems.
Dr Laurence Buckman, GPC deputy chair, said in-store practices would become a 'mini casualty for mums and kids'.
Tesco, Asda and Morrisons said they had no plans to set up in-store practices, but were watching with interest.

WASHINGTON — The National Transportation Safety Board issued investigative updates Tuesday as part of the agency's ongoing investigation of a Boeing 737 runway excursion at New York's LaGuardia Airport and a Boeing MD-10 landing gear failure accident in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Both events happened in late October.
A Boeing 737-700 (registration N278EA), a chartered flight operated by Eastern Air Lines Group, overran Runway 22 during landing at LaGuardia Airport, Flushing, New York, Oct. 27, about 7:42 p.m. EDT. The airplane veered to the right during the overrun and partially transited the Engineered Material Arresting System before it came to a stop on the turf about 200 feet from the runway end. Instrument meteorological conditions prevailed at the time. The 11 crew and 37 passengers, including then vice presidential candidate Mike Pence, deplaned via the airstairs. The flight originated at Fort Dodge, Iowa, about 4:23 p.m. CDT.
Initial findings include the following:
The on-scene investigation was completed Oct. 30, after which the airplane was released to the operator. The performance of the EMAS will be examined to determine its effect on the deceleration of the airplane.
Parties to the investigation are the Federal Aviation Administration, Eastern Air Lines Group and Boeing.
FedEx Express flight 910, a Boeing MD-10-10F (registration N370FE) experienced a left main landing gear collapse and subsequent fire in the left wing after landing on Runway 10L at Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Oct. 28, about 5:51 p.m. EDT. The airplane came to rest on the side of Runway 10L. The two flight crew members evacuated the airplane via the cockpit window and were not injured. The airplane was substantially damaged. The cargo flight originated from Memphis International Airport, Memphis, Tennessee.
The NTSB team completed their on-scene work and will continue further examinations of recovered parts and recorded information at the NTSB laboratories in Washington. The FAA, FedEx Express, the Air Line Pilots Association, and Boeing are parties to the investigation.
The investigation dockets for each event, containing factual group reports and other investigation-related material, will be opened at a future date. Additional information will be released as warranted.

AASTOCKS Financial News
The worldwide recession prompted on account of several causes is a ghastly piece of stories for each and every business in every nation all through the world. An apart, from our perspective it's a lot, a lot simpler to evaluate monetary prospects of people versus monetary markets, corporate entities, whole economies, etc.; during economic calamities some individuals fare worse than others, and the degree is reflected within the patterns of their unique complete charts together with the checks and balances of our systems of analysis.
For the competition we had been required to pick a subject from that list (it was known as the "Idea Bank" and it was intensive) and write whatever we wanted about it. Every day, in the course of the contest (it ran for a couple of month), the HubPage employees would randomly draw one of many articles submitted and award a money prize.
So long as the rate of inflation is higher than the financial institution price there isn't a purpose to keep your money in a bank, unless of coarse you want the truth that banks are using your money, freed from charge, to become profitable for themselves whilst you lose cash.
I'm no fan of the New World Financial System, which is predatory in lending, however I'm involved in regards to the massive derivatives that the worlds' banks have strapped to their our bodies, making any effort to cross this financial system, as Germany is doing, very, very painful and dangerous for the world.
Whereas reviewing my visitors statistics (which I do usually utilizing each knowledge offered on the HubPages web site in addition to GoogleAdsense and Analytics reports) in December 2007 I noticed heavy visitors on this article and a quick Google Search revealed that she was in the news for winning her lawsuit in opposition to the newspaper for publishing the pretend nude photos.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue Theatre will bring "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" to the stage beginning April 15 in the Nancy T. Hansen Theatre in Yue-Kong Pao Hall of Visual and Performing Arts.
"'The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee' is not your ordinary musical theatre piece," said director Larry Sommers. "The authors realized that the improvisational feel of the original piece provided much of the fun, so they worked diligently to preserve that in the script. There are topical references, quick 'jump cuts' and character fantasies that seem to spring out of nowhere — techniques that we often see in film and TV, but are not often seen onstage. But in the midst of the mayhem, music, and laughter, it brings us back to those terrible and wonderful, middle school years and the beginning of the journey to discover who we are."
"In 'Spelling Bee' we bear witness to adolescent trials and tribulations, to turning points and rites of passage in the lives of these misfit acolytes," said Richard Stockton Rand, chair of the department of theatre. "They seek the answers to all of life's mysteries in a book where every word could be found and defined and spelled. But the process of putting all the pieces of oneself in perfect order, of defining oneself, and finding one's place in the universe can never be captured in words. It is a journey that must be lived."
Performances are at 7:30 p.m. April 15, 16, 20, 21, 22, 23, with matinees at 2:30 p.m. on April 17 and 23. Tickets are $20 for the general public, $14 for students, and $17 for those 62 and over.
Tickets are available at the Pao Hall, Elliott Hall and Stewart Center Box Offices or by calling 765-494-3933 or 800-914-SHOW. The Nancy T. Hansen Theatre in Yue-Kong Pao Hall of Visual and Performing Arts is at 552 W. Wood St.
There will be a special preview performance at 7:30 p.m. April 14, with general admission seating of $6 per person.

He has made it his mission to tear down walls. After five years in office, Pope Francis, the first Latin American pontiff, has become a theological and political pop star. DW looks back on his papacy so far.
Prayer is political. Especially at the border wall between Mexico and the United States. On a visit there two years ago, Pope Francis did not mince his words: "A person who thinks of building walls instead of bridges is not Christian. That is not the Gospel."
The target of the pope's criticism was clear: US President Donald Trump's plans to extend the wall between Mexico and the US. Even Trump's visit to the Vatican in May 2017 failed to tear down the ideological wall between the two men.
The now 81-year-old Argentine Jorge Bergoglio, the first pope from Latin America, has been in office for five years now. Just two minutes after his election on March 13, 2013, it was clear that this Pope "from the end of the Earth," as Bergoglio introduced himself at the time, wasn't like his predecessors.

Revolution on Cuba
Francis is both political and pastoral. He prays at the West Bank Barrier in Bethlehem for peace between Israel and Palestine. He takes in refugees at the Vatican. He engineered the end of the political freeze between Cuba and the USA. And he forgives women who have had abortions.
"Francis wants to overcome divisions, not cement things with walls. He is very political in that sense," said Bernd Klaschka, the former managing director of Adveniat, an organization of the German episcopate that assists the Catholic Church in South America, and a good friend of the pope.
"Francis has a similar role in Latin America to the one Pope John Paul II had in Europe when he contributed to the fall of the Iron Curtain there."
Although the barrier between Mexico and the US continues to grow, Francis has succeeded in tearing down walls in Colombia and Cuba. Thanks to his skilful mediation between the parties, decades-old conflicts have been defused. Furthermore, Francis' visit to the Central African Republic in 2015 led to a ceasefire and free elections.
Read more: Pope Francis and the Vatican Revolution
Farewell to Europe
There are also signs of change within the Catholic Church itself, though this only becomes apparent on closer inspection. By naming new cardinals from Latin America, Africa and Asia, and increasingly devolving decision-making power to national and regional episcopal conferences, Francis is undermining the Vatican's hegemony.
Of the 49 cardinals Francis has appointed since becoming pope, the majority came from developing and emerging nations. Up until then, these countries had not received much attention from the Vatican. However, when the 117 members of the papal conclave meet for the next election, these cardinals could deliver the first African pope.
The youngest member of the papal conclave is the Archbishop of Bangui, Dieudonne Nzapalainga. "This pontiff loves Africa," he told DW enthusiastically. "Just recently he called on all Catholics and the whole world to pray for peace in Congo and South Sudan."
The bishop of Bangui, the capital of the Central African Republic, embodies the future of the Catholic Church. Nzapalainga was awarded the Aachen Peace Prize in 2015, together with the imam Kobine Layam.

Minefield of Myanmar
Both spiritual leaders have been active in campaigning for the peaceful coexistence of religions in the Central African Republic, which is in the throes of civil war. This is also a trademark of Pope Francis. However, he was not successful in attempting to carry out this mission in Myanmar during his visit there in late 2017.
For the Brazilian liberation theologian Leonardo Boff, the rejuvenation of the papal conclave is proof that the Francis "will found a dynasty of popes from the developing world." "This pope will change the church," he prophesied in an interview with DW shortly before Francis took office. "With Francis, spring has come to the church."
Could it even be a Brazilian spring? The Catholic Church in Brazil is getting heavily involved behind the scenes. It was the Brazilian cardinal Claudio Hummes, a member of the Papal Commission for Latin America, who suggested the name Francis to the newly-elected Pope Bergoglio.

Could married men become priests?
Brazil also jostled to the fore on the pope's first trip abroad when Francis traveled to Rio for World Youth Day in 2013. Now another major event for church policy is on the horizon: the Synod of Bishops for the Pan-Amazon region, to be held in the Vatican in 2019. A decision could be made on allowing married men to be consecrated as priests.
From the Catholic point of view, relaxing the rule on celibacy, which has been in place for centuries, would be a revolution. And precisely this is attracting more and more opponents. They want to prevent a "Copacabana" theology that would involve relaxing dogmas and questioning the traditional teachings of the church.
The archbishop of Accra thinks this is exaggerated. "I know that some conservatives are not happy with his rather very large-hearted approach to pastoral challenges," Gabriel Charles Palmer Buckle confirmed in an interview with DW. But Francis, he said, has simply requested that bishops and priests show compassion. "But the church is not only for conservatives!"
The Pope has used his traditional Urbi et Orbi speech to call for peace in Jerusalem. It was the second time the pontiff has spoken about the issue since the US recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital. (25.12.2017)
Pope Francis has landed in the US to begin a tour set to include speeches to the UN General Assembly and the US Congress. He left Cuba urging its people to embrace a "revolution of tenderness." (22.09.2015)
The provision, which had been given temporarily to all Catholic priests during the "Holy Year of Mercy", will now last indefinitely. The Pope says that abortion is still a "grave sin". (21.11.2016)
Pope Francis has spoken out against the "spiral of violence and hell of drugs" that has forced many to flee their countries for the US. His comments come as US presidential candidates debate expelling illegal migrants. (18.02.2016)
US President Donald Trump and Pope Francis are worlds apart in their beliefs. One has faith in the power of money, the other in the power of mercy. What could they possibly have to say each other? (24.05.2017)
Colombians need to participate in a reconciliation process after years of conflict, Pope Francis told a million believers at a Mass in Medellin. Jesus' way of life calls for a path of love and non-violence, he said. (10.09.2017)
Pope Francis has wrapped up his first ever trip to Africa by calling for reconciliation in the Central African Republic, which has been wracked for more than two years by violence between Christian and Muslims. (30.11.2015)
Pope Francis announced plans to create five new cardinals from five different countries at a special ceremony on June 28. The elevation of the five clergymen came as a surprise announcement. (21.05.2017)
Pope Francis has spoken in a mosque in one of the most volatile neighborhoods in Central African Republic. The country has experienced two years of almost non-stop religious violence. (30.11.2015)
Pope Francis has presided over a procession re-enacting Christ's crucifixion at Rio's Copacabana beach. Latin America's first pope addressed young Catholics during the second night of religious ceremonies. (27.07.2013)
Pope Francis drew as many as three million youths to his final Mass on Brazil's Copacabana beach, wrapping up an energetic trip to his home continent. The pontiff is encouraging a shake-up in the Catholic Church. (28.07.2013)
The Vatican is currently on the defensive over trying to protect some of its secrets that two enterprising journalists are trying to expose. Megan Williams reports from Rome. (21.11.2015)
Pope Francis is a political pontiff, taking an active role in social issues and promising reforms in the Vatican. Will Pope Francis manage to restore credibility to a church that has been rocked by scandals? (06.06.2016)
The Catholic pontiff used the word Rohingya when addressing refugees in Dhaka, who crossed from Myanmar into Bangladesh. He had been urged not to use the word during his earlier stay in Myanmar. (01.12.2017)
