Chapter 35. The Case of Jasper Johns Figure 1
I recently purchased a 16 x 12 inch framed photo-mechanical reproduction of Figure 1 at a local thrift store for $4.99. My reproduction of Figure 1 is from Johns celebrated colour lithograph series 0 through 9. He also did the same series as lithographs using black ink only.
Jasper Johns, Figure 1 (1969), lithograph, 373&Mac218;4 x 31 in.
Johns image has some striking resemblances to a photograph of the January 1968 crash site of a United States Air Force B-52 Stratofortress. The crash occurred 7.5 miles west of Thule Air Base, Greenland while the B-52 bomber aircraft was on a Cold War alert mission over Baffin Bay. Alert missions were a Cold War deterrent against Soviet attack and involved B-52 bombers with nuclear payloads in the air for 24 hours a day. Johns may have seen a photograph of the crash site and used it as a basis for his image.
In Figure 1, part of a sheet of newspaper from the Washington Post circa 1968 has been incorporated into the lithograph. Most of the page from the newspaper has been overinked; however, the full text of an article entitled The Recall to Reality by Joseph Alsop (reprinted in The Watertown Daily Times, Friday August 2, 1968) is visible, just to the left of the figure. Alsops article suggests that the military might of America needed to be vigorously maintained to serve as a bulwark against the spread of the Soviet empire. He vilifies the aggressive stance taken by the Soviet-controlled Eastern Bloc and warns of the potential for nuclear catastrophe.
The visual references to a rocket launch and inter-continental ballistic missile are clearly suggested by Figure 1. The imagery symbolizes the Cold War reality of military aggression, the space race and the fear of communism by overtly framing Cold War anxiety in terms of a nuclear catastrophe.
As for Johns legacy, in 2009, some forty years after the creation of Figure 1, a signed and numbered lithograph from this edition sold for $18,750 at a Sothebys New York sale, including buyers premium.
Aerial photograph of blackened area of ice where a B-52 carrying 4 nuclear weapons crashed near Thule Air Base in January 1968
Since 1987 only six images from the 1969 edition have came up for auction and prices have remained relatively constant at around $18,000.
The first online recorded sale on the secondary market occurred at Sothebys New York in 1990, just a few months after the Berlin Wall came down, soon after Ronald Reagans admonition to the Soviet Union to "tear down this wall"; thus in a very real sense proclaiming the official end to the Cold War.
It is interesting to note that continued and robust sales of this artwork may serve as a testament to the triumph of capitalism both in political terms and consumer economy.

Vince Gironda, trainer of champions, referred to what he called the Alpha State. The Alpha State is when your body disassociates with any pre-conceived notions about what it is capable, pushing past any previous barriers with a vengeance.
Not merely passing your previous performance with a rep or 2 but completely blowing it out of the water. Your mind and your body are one and there is nothing else in the world. It is one of those training sessions where you are super-human and you can do anything.
In Vince's own words:
"You will also find that in this alpha state that the passage of time no longer exists and that your former imagined limitations no longer exist. (Train over your head.) You will discover a new reality heretofore never experiences. That of the absence of limitations formerly imagined. Your capabilities are unlimited if you can achieve this mystical state. I personally believe that from my observations of champions, and I have said this before many times in my writings, that they No.1, desire to make changes in their bodies and physiological changes take place, that logically should not and cannot take place, but lo and behold, they actually do.
So, to put it into plain English, you do not and cannot build anything without first making a mental blue print. This visualization and the faith to believe that you cannot fail, is the answer to the (illogical) miracles I have observed take place before my eyes. I have seen changes in bone structure (narrowing of hips) that physiologically were impossible to change. So if you don't believe in miracles, you have never experienced one. My life is full of miracles. There is not a day that passes that I do not experience one. So don't be afraid to ask, because you must, if you wish to receive. You create with your mind and don't you ever doubt this."
"Productive workouts can never be experienced until you let go of all your fears, frustrations, tensions, doubts and indecisions. When this happens a blinding light of total awareness engulfs you.
Example: I first experienced this takeover when I was sitting behind my preacher bench waiting my turn to perform my next set. This particular bench I've always maintained has a life of its own. This is due to the fact that so many famous bodybuilders have literally stood behind it and "prayed" for the magic that they know it contains.
I have never failed to observe the reverence displayed by any man who uses this bench. They all know that no one has ever been able to duplicate the magic proportions that this particular bench embodies. Try to copy it as they have, no one to this day has ever succeeded.
To get on with my story, the man before me finished his set and stepped aside. I picked up my Olympic barbell, took the proper grip, placed my elbows at the top of the bench and with both feet parallel, lowered the barbell smoothly to the low position, then slowly curled the bar to my front deltoids.
I was only interested in working the muscle in good, slow, smooth form (balanced cadence). No number of reps in mind. Just a good honest set in as perfect form as I could manage.
The number of reps I usually did was 12. But due to the fact that I had achieved a total alpha state during the waiting period my body disassociated the reps factor and I performed 24 reps with no more effort or strain than if I had performed the usual 12 reps.
The example I am trying to give is simply that if you limit yourself to any number of reps that is all you will do. I had somehow rejected the fact that 12 reps was my limit." – Vince Gironda
Several months ago I was at a park for a festival. In China all the parks have pull-up bars, monkey bars, dip bars and various exercise apparatus. I was walking around with my lovely lady friend and came upon some monkey bars. Anyone who knows me knows that anytime I am in the vicinity of any sort of bar, pull-ups will be done.
I stepped up to do my usual 10-12 pull-ups (overhand grip, palms facing away) for fun. There were a few people watching, including my lady friend and this upped the ante. 3 or 4 pull-ups in, my lady friend said something like "Let's see how many you can do!". With no more exertion than I would use on 10 pull-ups I did a full 24 pull-ups.
Impossible to accomplish before or since, at that moment in time it was as easy as doing only a few pull-ups and, at minimum, it is 9 more pull-ups than I have ever been able to do.
Leave a comment and tell us about a time you reached the Alpha State. When was a time you didn't just surpass past performance but smashed your way through it? And how did it happen?

Ask Bill Belichick a question he doesn't like, and you know what kind of answer you'll get.
Still, longtime Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy thought he'd try to ask the question many New England fans themselves have wanted to ask for almost six months: Why didn't the Patriots coach play cornerback Malcolm Butler — the hero of New England's defeat of Seattle in the Super Bowl two seasons earlier— in last season's Super Bowl loss to Philadelphia?
Shaughnessy asked the question gently at a news conference Wednesday morning, starting with this — "I know you're all about this year and we all understand that" — but Belichick rebuffed him at every turn. Finally, the coach put an end to the questioning with this response:
"I'm focused on doing the best I can for the 2018 New England Patriots. That's my job. That's what I'm going to do. That's what I've always done in the past. Every day I've coached here, I've done the best that I could for this football team. I'll continue to do that. Right now my focus is on the 2018 season. Not 2017, not 2014, 2007, not 2004, not 2001, not 2000. I'm not focused on any of those seasons. They're done."
One thing is certain: Butler signed an offseason 5-year, $61 million contract with the Tennessee Titans.
But why he didn't play in the Super Bowl will continue to puzzle Patriots fans.

"Harvest of Empire" has a journalistic pedigree and a punch that comes from political advocacy. Based on a book — also "Harvest of Empire" — by Juan González, a columnist for The Daily News, this documentary presents information about the history of Latino immigration to the United States.
Directed by Peter Getzels and Eduardo López, it has two clear missions: to combat the current wave of anti-immigrant feeling and to show how migration has been spurred by the sometimes violent intervention of the United States, either by the government (in, say, El Salvador) or by powerful businesses, like the United Fruit Company.
Punctuated by interviews — among the best talkers are the Dominican-American writer Junot Díaz and the Nobel laureate Rigoberta Menchú, a survivor of Guatemala's brutal civil war — the movie goes country by country (Mexico, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Cuba, etc.) to make its case, stopping to talk to ordinary people whose lives have been uprooted by violence or poverty.
And while the abuses of American power are demonstrated and the American embrace of Latinos shown to be less than open-armed, the filmmakers retain a touching faith that most Americans won't tolerate injustice when they know about it. This film is meant to teach them.

TORONTO - Many Canadians turned off their lights for an hour Saturday night as part of a global and symbolic stand against climate change.
In New Brunswick the government-owned utililty NB Power tweeted a picture of its Fredericton headquarters darkened.
Toronto's CN Tower turned off all exterior lighting except for aircraft safety lights and reduced as much interior lighting as it could.
Toronto Hydro tweeted that power usage dropped by six per cent during Earth Hour.
B.C. Hydro says British Columbians reduced the provincial electricity load by one per cent — the equivalent of turning off about 1.4 million lights.
The utility says it's the lowest figure recorded since it started measuring the event's energy savings in 2008.
Organizers say Earth Hour shows how a small act — turning off lights — can have a powerful effect when enough people carry it out.
The World Wildlife Fund is the driving force behind the annual campaign to urge people to turn their lights off for an hour on Saturday night _ between 8:30 and 9:30 p.m local time in Canada.
Earth Hour started in 2007 in Australia and has since expanded to involve thousands of cities and towns across the world.
Municipalities and utilities have embraced the annual event, devoting space on their web sites to promote it.

- Page 1 Asus Striker II NSE Review
- Page 2 Asus Striker II NSE Review
- Page 3 Performance Results Review
Testing the NSE threw up a couple of curious issues. Our sample was supplied with BIOS 0305 and Asus sent through version 0403 as an update but neither the Windows-based Asus Update utility nor the updater in the BIOS would accept the file. The update failed with a message that 'the file wasn't recognised for this model.' We've had similar problems with two other Nvidia chipped Asus boards in recent months so there appears to be a common theme developing. Rather than booting into DOS and forcing the issue – with the very real possibility of bricking the NSE – we played safe and stuck with BIOS 0305.
The other issue was our power supply which is an Enermax Galaxy 850W. We were testing with a single GeForce 8800GT and the system refused to start until we changed to a tiddly Antec 550W PSU. We've had similar trouble in the past with AMD motherboards from Sapphire but these tended to be low or mid-range models that have a low power draw. It was a real surprise that the NSE didn't have enough of a kick to spur the Enermax into life.
We tested with a Core 2 Extreme QX9650, rather than a QX9770, as we doubt that many members of the buying public will splash out £900 for the privilege of a 1,600MHz front side bus.
The Asus BIOS has a colossal list of options but despite that the layout is clear and logical. We knew our Kingston KHX13000 memory would require extra voltage so we used the hardware monitor feature to check the default voltages and then got busy overclocking. We raised the CPU voltage from 1.28V to 1.45V, RAM voltage from 1.64V to 1.9V and the Northbridge MCH voltage from 1.31V to 1.56V.
We had no trouble raising the clock multiplier from 9x to 11.5x on the stock 333MHz front side bus which raised the CPU speed from 3.0GHz to 3.83GHz. Naturally that increased performance handsomely but we were unable to raise the front side bus by any useful amount and still complete PCMark Vantage.
So far we had kept the RAM speed at 1,066MHz but we needed to look at memory speed to see whether the NSE could match the Striker II Extreme. Raising the memory speed to 1,333MHz was easy enough but couldn't maintain the same memory timings. We had to slow the settings from 7-7-7-20 to 8-9-9-26 which resulted in lower performance than running the memory at 1,066MHz with tighter latencies. Going for broke we bumped up the memory to 1,600MHz and had to slow the latencies ever further to 8-11-11-30. This lowered performance even further and convinced us that memory speed is pretty much irrelevant on a standard front side bus.
Based on our results you'd be well advised to buy the NSE rather than the more expensive Extreme but you're still spending a small fortune for the privilege of running SLI.

Overcoming Fear Inside You Once And For All
Think and Grow Rich by Dr Napoleon Hill. A book about overcoming fear and how to reach your dream; which sold over 100 millions copies worldwide and had once achieve number 1 worldwide bestseller.
Now, it has been included in my top 50 favorite books of all time written by a great man who has a nicknamed the King Maker of Millionaires.
More importantly, this book had change my life forever. Why? Because after reading it, it made me think like I can achieve anything that I wanted to do in my life and Dr. Napoleon made it very clear that the first step would be to believe that you can do it.
That is why I always keep this book near my work desk. So every time I felt less motivated or frustrated, I would read this book again (chapter 3) to remind me that I can do it. Moreover, I learned that there are three things that holding people back from reaching their dreams and it would be indecision, doubt and fear.
But, today it is only about overcoming fear which is my biggest problem that I had to face when I am fighting for my dreams. And I believe that most of you guys probably having trouble with overcoming fear too. There is no way that I am fighting this problem alone.
Therefore I felt the need to share my experiences and what I learned from overcoming fear inside me.
Read on my friends.
How Does Fear Rules Your Dream?
Thank you for asking and it is so simple actually. It all started when you are first having doubt with yourself. Then, it will lead you to hesitation and finally you would be paralyze by the fear. This is how they work; as simple as that.
And because of this three, you would become afraid to try and fight for your dreams. Truthfully, I had been facing this a lot at first. But now, I couldn't care less about overcoming this kind of fear. I just do it whenever and whatever I wanted to do especially when it is about achieving my dreams.
How To Overcome Your Fear?
Simple but not easy. The first step would be to acknowledge it because they could be well hidden inside your habits or in your mindset.
For example, take one thing that you had always wanted to do but never had done it before because you are too afraid to do it.Then, ask yourself, what is the worst thing that could happen? and write it down.
After write it down, maybe you can get two or three worst thing that could happen to you. But let me tell me something: fear is nothing more than a state of minds. Most of them is not true at all and is not happening.
Don't be afraid when overcoming fear because this happens to me too and most of the time it is the worst time that could happen to me is not happening. Because most of the time, it is just me just selling myself short and overthinking. Then, I would lead me paralyzed by my own mindset.
"Don't be afraid of your fears. They're not there to scare you. They're there to let you know that something is worth it."
― C. JoyBell C.
How Many Type of Fear?
Note to readers: There are still a lot of type of fear written by Dr Napoleon Hill inside Think and Grow Rich but I only took out the one that I am facing now. So if you want to know more, you have to read the book yourself.
1. Fear of Poverty.
The one that everybody would try to avoid the most. Because no one wants to get poor right? That is why most people keeps on playing safe by taking the 9 to 5 jobs as it is more safe than fighting for your dreams; for example, starting up your own business.
Although having a 9 top 5 jobs are no more safe than starting up your own business. Because you can get layoffs anytime and you cannot do anything to stop it. How's that for safe and secure? Not likely.
For me, I think most of the guys who took the 9 to 5 jobs are just afraid to face the hardship of starting up your own business. Yes, I get it. I am having a lot of hardship starting up my own business too. But, it will gets easy overtime because you will grow.
Another thing, if you want it so badly, nothing should stop you from getting it.
2. Fear of Criticism.
I get this fear a lot. Let me tell you my experienced with it. When I just started to write at my blog; Malaya Journal, I am too afraid to put the blog's link at any of social media's bio such as Instagram, LinkdIn and Twitter. Why? Because I am too afraid that my friends and family would comment or critics about my writing. This scares me to death eventhougt it does not kill me at all.
If you are a normal readers, then you would know that I am an engineering graduates. So why the hell did an engineering graduates have anything to do with writing a blog? The answer would be nothing! And this kind of thinking paralyze me.
I kept asking myself; What if my friends critics my writings? What if my grammar is wrong? What if I am not good enough? and the best of all, What if I fail?. But after reading Think and Grow Rich, f*ck the the criticism and i just going to put my blog's link at my bio.
Whatever happen will happen. I dont care anymore. At least I can learn from the criticism.
3. Fear of Missing Out (FoMO).
Starting up my own business is not an easy thing to do. It takes a lot of time and efforts but I am pretty sure you that all of you know about this.
And because of this, I have to sacrifice my time for my friends. Why? because my I need to prepare a lot of things when starting up my own business.
As i was saying in the last point, I am an engineering graduates. Frankly, I do not know anything about business. Hence, I need to read a lot of books whether about marketing, business and entrepreneurship. I also took an online course at Udemy.
This took a lot of my time and I had to sacrifice my time with my friends.
At first, sometimes I was thinking maybe I should stop doing what I do and go have fun with them. But then, I remembered. My path and their path is not the same. I am starting my own business while they got a 9 to 5 jobs.
Therefore, I cannot live like they live they life. It would be a disaster if i try too.
Maybe after my business already have their own business system only then I can join them. For now, It time to work on my dreams. This is the sacrifice that I had to make.
4. Fear of death.
For your information, I don't experience this fear but I heard this about this fear a lot. Most of them are by the elders.
For example, they would say "I am in the fourties now" , " It's already too late", "I am too old for starting my own business " and something like that.
Let me ask you a question, What do these sentence have One thing in common?
The answer would be all the sentences is full of negativity and selling themselves short. Meaning that, they don't believe that they can do it and of course they can't. But what if they suddenly believe they can do it?
Then, they would become like Colonel Sanders who sold KFC franchise in his early eighthies and like Sam Walton who open his first WalMart Shop when he was 44 years old. All of this happen because they believe they can.
The trick is simple, if you want to achieve your dreams so bad, the age is just a number.
The Danger of Not Overcoming Fear.
- Fear kills initiative and this is the reason why people procrastinate a lot when they were afraid.
- It will destroy your imagination and kills your dreams and ambition.
- It will kills your self reliance.
- Wipes out enthusiasm.
- Makes self control impossible.
- It leads to uncertainty of purpose because you keep on playing safe. So anything that is worth fighting for when you know it is not going to be easy. You would tend to let it go.
- Finally, it leads to misery and happiness.
"There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: The fear of failure."
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

2. Feel the Fear . . . and Do It Anyway by Susan Jeffers.
Fear is a state of mind only. We cannot control what happen in life but we can control what we think and how we think. So focus on controlling it. Bottom line is to change the way of our thinking and our mindset from negative to positive one.
Whatever you do, always think that it is possible to achieve your dreams. No matter how hard it is, how bad it gets, you are going to make it.
"Do one thing every day that scares you."

Markus Pirkkalainen is a familiar face at Stalatube. He started working at the company's Finnish sales office at start of the year. Even though Markus is new to Stalatube, his work at the Stala Group started back in summer 2012, when he began an internship at Stala.
"After that, I stayed on at Stala as part of the sales service team, and then I spent a few months in Stala Group's administration. I was finishing up my studies at the same time and I graduated about a year ago," he recounts.
At Stalatube, Markus focuses on domestic sales and sales reporting and planning, as well as on maintaining the new reporting system.
"I also handle sales budgeting matters," says Markus.
Markus says his work is rewarding not just because it is challenging and diverse, but also because he has the freedom to use his creativity.
"But the best thing is the interaction with customers," he adds.
Markus also values the relaxed approach of his colleagues:
"When we're working, everyone is completely focused on the task at hand, but outside of work, everyone leaves work matters at the office."
He also appreciates the atmosphere at the workplace.
"I'm quite a bit younger than most people at the office, but they are all young at heart and have a great sense of humor, so there's really no generation gap to speak of," he sums up.

THIRDS Thursday - 6/28/18
Prompt: We all know Dex is a trouble magnet with a super big heart. Maybe they work on a case and during a raid they find a little 5 year old bratty Therian Jaguar girl, whose needs looking after till her family can be found.
Dex noticed Sloane had something hidden behind his back as he walked over to Solange. "Sorry I took so long." He stopped next to her then knelt. "Guess what? Your mommy and daddy are on their way to pick you up, and look who's here."
Solange squealed when Sloane presented her with a stuffed lion toy, and Dex couldn't help his laugh. It had floppy arms and legs, a big brown nose, and the biggest, craziest mane Dex had ever seen. She got her little arms wrapped around it, and hugged the stuffing out of it.
"So what have you two been up to?" Sloane asked, just as Ash entered the room.
Maybe the floor would swallow Dex up, and he wouldn't have to witness this crushing, life altering moment. Okay, maybe he was being a little dramatic, but still.
Ash opened his mouth when Solange piped up.
"Dex and I were singing!"
The room plunged into silence, everyone staring at Solange.
Sloane blinked at her. "You were singing?"
"Yep. We were here the whole time, and we were singing a fun song. Do you want to hear it?"
Sloane nodded.
Two words in and Dex was on the floor in a fit of laughter. Ash's eyes were huge, and Sloane had a fist to his mouth to keep himself from laughing. Meanwhile, at the top of her lungs, Solange sang The Lion Sleeps Tonight.
Ash looked so confused, and Dex was afraid he'd pee his pants he was laughing so hard. "What's happening right now?"
Solange continued to sing, her voice going up really high in pitch for certain parts of the song, and Dex just couldn't breathe.
"Yeah, no." Ash turned and left.
"Do you like it?" Solange asked Sloane.
Sloane laughed softly. "I do. I also think it's very sweet for you to cover for Dex."
Dex froze. He sat up, and gaped at Sloane. "You know?"
Sloane stood, and held a hand out to Dex, helping him to his feet. He made sure to stand where he could keep an eye on Solange. "Yes, Babe. I came back to ask Solange a quick question and didn't see either of you. I figured she managed to sneak away."
Dex narrowed his eyes. "Ash told you, didn't he?"
"He did. Yes. Like, the moment he saw her."
"Where was she?"
Sloane chuckled. "Here."
"She was hiding under my desk."
Dex's jaw dropped. Hiding in plain sight. Of course she was. Man, he felt like an idiot. He not only lived with a jaguar Therian, he was mated to one. They were experts at hiding so they could pounce. Sloane's desk was the first place he should have checked.
"That's also why we smelled her scent."
Dex nodded his agreement. He thought her scent hadn't changed because she'd just been in the office, but in truth it was because she hadn't left. That sneaky sneak. "Wait, how did she end up with Ash if she didn't leave the office?"
"He dropped by to discuss the case and found her sitting in my chair, but no you. When he asked her where you were, she said she'd show him." Sloane looked down, and Dex followed his gaze. Solange stood beside him tugging at one of his pockets.
"Don't be mad at Dex. It was my fault. I shouldn't have pretended to run away. He'll be a really good daddy, I promise."
Sloane's expression softened, and he picked Solange up, his smile making Dex melt. "You know what? I think he'll make a great daddy."
"You do?" she asked, her smile wide.
Sloane nodded then gave them each a pointed look. "I'm not happy with either of you, but that doesn't change how great I think you both are." He turned his attention back to Solange. "You shouldn't pretend to sneak away like that, or actually sneak away. You really worried Dex. What if you weren't somewhere safe? How would your mommy and daddy feel if something happened to you?"
Her bottom lip jutted out in a miserable pout. "They'd be sad."
"They'd be heartbroken." Sloane turned his attention to Dex. "I'm not sure what you were doing when Solange pulled a Houdini on you, but she reminds me of a certain someone." He shook his head in amusement. "I take my eyes off you for two seconds, and next thing I know, I find you Duct taped to a medical examiner's table."
Solange arched a perfect little eyebrow at Dex. He was being judged by a five-year-old. Splendid.
"Here's a life lesson. Never steal cookies from a wolf Therian. They are very serious about their food. Especially cookies. They might look all sweet and nerdy, but don't let that fool you."
Sloane laughed, and Solange giggled.
"I'm glad my misfortune amuses you two," Dex said with a sniff.
Sloane pulled him close, and kissed his temple. "I love you. But next time, call me, huh? We'll work it out together."
Really, Dex should have known better. "I will. I'm sorry. I just kind of freaked out a little."
"I know. That happens when your blood sugar is low. Then you crash. So how about I stay with Solange while you get yourself something from the canteen."
"Have I told you lately how amazing you are?"
Sloane shrugged, his smile dazzling. "I'm not going to complain if you feel the need to say it again."
"You're amazing." Dex kissed Sloane's cheek before heading for the door. As he headed for the canteen, he thought about Solange and how after everything she'd stuck up for him, so he wouldn't get in trouble with Sloane. She was a good kid. He thought about the reason he'd take his eyes off her, and an idea struck him. He'd run it by Sloane, but he didn't think Sloane would mind. Ash on the other hand….
"I hate you so bad right now," Ash hissed.
When Solange's parents arrived to pick up their little girl, after her mother bawled her eyes out and her father paced the office in a controlled rage at the babysitter's negligence, everyone settled down. Solange's parents were pressing charges, and they had every right to. They'd trusted the babysitter with their precious child, and their trust had been betrayed. Both parents had gone pale when they'd discovered where Destructive Delta had rescued her from, and they were extremely grateful. The THIRDS had made new allies.
As they talked, Dex discussed his idea with Solange's parents, and then Solange's mother broke down in tears before lunging herself at Dex, and hugging him tight.
As it turned out. Dolly wasn't just any lion, but actually Growly the Grumpy Lion, a very famous children's TV show lion. A British kids TV show lion. Growly was a lion Therian who in his Human form wore a giant crazy mane and was super grumpy which the kids found hysterical. Who would have known that within their ranks they had their own Growly the Grumpy Lion. And, oh, he was very grumpy right now.
Ash sat in the middle of circle of kids, arms crossed over his expansive chest, big fluffy mane with little lion ears over his head.
"Do you live in the jungle?" A little Human boy asked, waving his hand in front of Ash's face.
"No. I live in Leeds apparently. Probably because it starts with an "L". Why it couldn't be London, I don't know."
"You don't sound British," another little boy said.
Ash sighed, and when he spoke, Dex just knew he was imitating Hudson. If Hudson were a grumpy ass lion Therian pretending to be a British wolf Therian. "I'm British. I drink tea, and eat cookies, but I call them biscuits because I like to be difficult."
The kids all laughed their little faces off and Hudson frowned.
"I don't sound like that."
"Eh, you kinda do."
Hudson narrowed his eyes at Dex. "As if I would take the word of a biscuit thief."
"You're just strengthening his case."
Sloane stepped up beside Dex, and wrapped an arm around him, pulling him close. He kissed Dex's temple and spoke so only Dex would hear. "I think you've just made Solange the most popular kid at her school. How did you get all the parents to let their kids come?"
"I just used my Daley charm."
"Too bad that charm won't work on Ash. I love you, Babe, which is why when this is over, I'll try and buy you some time so you can make a run for it."
Cael stepped up to Dex's right. He was so smitten as he watched his boyfriend. "I had no idea Ash was so good with kids. He's amazing. Also, you're a dead man. Just saying. I'll try and buy you some time, so you can get away."
Dex chuckled. "I appreciate that my family is willing to risk the wrath of Ash to give me a running head start, but I really don't think it'll be necessary. I think he's secretly enjoying it."
One little girl launched herself into Ash's arms. He lifted her up and she sneezed. She'd also had a mouth full of fruit juice which Ash was now wearing.
Dex hugged Cael then turned to Sloane and kissed him. "Make sure my grave says I died valiantly in combat." Dex took off to the sound of Ash roaring his name. Yep. Just another day at the office for Destructive Delta.

Shopping around for the best curry powders and pastes
It's a bit of a cheat to use jars of condiments, especially when it is so easy to make your own curry paste or spice mix, but sometimes it's difficult to get motivated to do everything from scratch, particularly after a long day at the office. For those situations, you need a pantry standard like curry paste or a curry powder to hand, which you can use for everything from seasoning meat to making great sauces.
Tesco Thai Green Curry Paste 220g
Price - €2.09 Price per 100g - 95c
This tastes really fresh with lots of fresh coriander and basil present in the mix. It has a nice consistency with a medium strength and this works great with chicken and prawn dishes.
Per 100g, you get 175 calories, 1.5g of protein, 5.8g of sugar and 13.8g of fat.
Patak's Korma Spice Paste 290g
Price - €2.69 Price per 100g - 92c
This sauce is a good one to have on standby for mid-week meals. A mildly spicy, tomato-based paste this works best with beef or lamb. Add a bit of fresh ginger and coriander to lift it.
Per 100g, there's 227 calories, 3.1g of protein, 9.9g of sugar and 15.4g of fat.
M&S Roasted Curry Powder45g
Price - €3.69 Price per 100g - €8.20
Because this is not a paste, you get to choose how many calories you to eat. So put a teaspoon in with your meat when cooking to add flavour, stir into mayonnaise for a spicy kick or mix it in with some coconut milk for a creamy sauce.

Work package relations and hierarchies
You can not only create work package hierarchies, but also define relations, for example to indicate that work packages address a similar topic or create status dependencies. To create a relationship between two work packages:
- Select a work package, click on the Relations tab to open the relations tab and click the + Create new relations link.
- Select the type of relationship from the dropdown menu.
- Enter the ID of the work package, to which the relation should be created and choose an entry from the dropdown menu.
- Click the check icon.
You can select one of the following relations:
- Related to – This option adds a link from the work package A to work package B, so that project members can immediately see the connection, even if the work packages are not members of the same hierarchy. There is no additional effect.
- Duplicates / Duplicated by – This option indicates that the work package A duplicates a work package B in one way or another, for example both address the same task. This can be useful if you have the same work package that needs to be a part of a closed and public projects at the same time. The connection in this case is semantic, the changes you make in work package A will need to be adapted in work package B manually.
- Blocks / Blocked by – This option defines status change restrictions between two work packages. If you set a work package A to be blocking work package B, the status of work package B cannot be set to closed or resolved until the work package A is closed (in a clode meta-status).
- Precedes / Follows – Defines a chronologically relation between two work packages. For example, if you set a work package A to precede a work package B, you will not be able to change the starting date of B to be earlier than the end date of A. In addition, when you move the start or due date of A, the start and due date of B will be updated as well.
- Includes / Part of – Defines if work package A includes or is part of work package B. This relation type can be used for example when you have a rollout work package and work packages which should be shown as included without using hierarchical relationships. There is no additional effect.
- Requires / Required by – Defines if work package A requires or is required by work package B. There is no additional effect.
The selected relation status will be automatically displayed in the work package that you enter. For example if you select "Blocks" in the current work package A and specify work package B, work package B will automatically show that it is "Blocked by" A.
Display relations in work package list (Premium feature)
As a user of the Enterprise Edition or Cloud Edition you can display relations as columns in the work package list.
This is useful if you want to get an overview of certain types of relationships between work packages. You can for example see which work packages are blocking other work packages.
To add relation columns, open the columns modal and select a relation from the dropdown menu (e.g. "blocked by relations").
The relations column shows the number of relations each work package has for the relation type (e.g. "blocked by").
You can click on the number to display the work packages which have the relation type.

Everyone deserves the opportunity to live well with money to last their lifetime. And while they're not right for everyone, as part of a comprehensive financial plan, an annuity can be a strategic way to pursue financial freedom in retirement.
In the past, retirees could rely on employer-provided pensions and Social Security to completely fund their retirement. Now, however, most people must create their own retirement income by putting aside money through 401(k)s and other savings. Too often, it's not enough. Annuities can help fill the gap between what you've saved and what you'll need to live the retirement you want.
Why Should I Consider Purchasing an Annuity?
In essence, an annuity can provide a "retirement paycheck" that guarantees a payout of income for a set number of years or even the rest of your lifetime depending on the option you choose*. When you purchase an annuity, you can pay with a lump sum or create a payment plan to provide a stream of income. Annuities are flexible. For example, some annuities begin paying a lifetime income stream immediately while others provide that stream in the future. And with the purchase of an add-on benefit† (available for an additional charge), an annuity is the only product that can provide a steady stream of lifetime income that's unaffected by interest rate fluctuations and market downturns. And, your payments even have the potential to keep growing.
Sound too good to be true? It's not. It's important to remember that annuities were created by insurance companies, which have the unique ability to offer features and add-on options that help protect investors against outliving savings or having to change their lifestyle in retirement.
Features of an Annuity
a future stream of income.
Opportunity to Leave
Money Behind
*Guarantees are backed by the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company.
†Optional benefits are available for an extra charge in addition to the ongoing fees and expenses of the variable annuity.
‡Tax deferral offers no additional value if an annuity is used to fund a qualified plan, such as a 401(k) or IRA, and may not be available if the annuity is owned by a "non natural person" such as a corporation or certain types of trusts.
What is an Annuity? An annuity is a long-term, tax-deferred vehicle designed for retirement. Variable annuities involve investment risks and may lose value. Earnings are taxable as ordinary income when distributed and may be subject to a 10% additional tax if withdrawn before age 59½.

Radu Barsan, president and CEO of RIO, said funding from this round will enable the company to finish developing its first line of products -- starting with 40/80km and dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) 10 Gb/s transmitters -- and to broaden its product portfolio, diversify its customer base and markets and accelerate its manufacturing capabilities. RIO's optical transmitters are based on planar technology "that enables transceivers and transponders to deliver telecom-grade performance with datacom economics," the company said. It is also producing a 1550-nm 10 G commercial laser using directly modulated planar-based hybrid laser technology. Redfern Photonics, based in Sydney, Australia, was established in 1998 to invest in Australian research and development in photonics-based communications industries; it has diversified its interests into industrial, sensing and defense industries.

When we read stories of infidelity and adultery, it simply breaks our heart. Especially because of the pain and breach of trust that comes with it. A BellaNaijarian sent this letter to us, and we are very sad to read the pain in her words.
Writing can be very cathartic and we understand the need to simply put down the words that express the pain that lies deep within. We hope that by sharing this story, someone out there will find strength, knowing that they are not alone, and the effect of being betrayed is not something that can be quantified.

Lil Jon's joining the cast for the upcoming season of Donald Trump's "Celebrity Apprentice." WHAAAT? Yeah, you read that right. The king of crunk is going head to head with the likes of José Canseco, Gary Busey and David Cassidy, among others, in NBC's competition-based reality show. That explains him flipping pizzas last week at a New York Famous Famiglia pizzeria.
But Jon's no rookie when it comes to business. In fact, back in 2008 he came in at #13 on Forbes list of hip-hop's biggest earners by bringing in $11 million. His list of business ventures outside of music includes Crunk energy drink, a wine brand (Little Jonathan Winery) and his own line of Oakley sunglasses.
There's no doubt in our minds that if anyone can win "Celebrity Apprentice," it's Lil Jon. Why? Because rappers and hip-hop music industry folks are quite possibly the best salesmen who aren't actually ... ya'know, salesmen.
Here are ten other hip-hop luminaries who would literally run circles around contestants on "Celebrity Apprentice."
1. Jay-Z
40/40 clubs, minority owner of the Nets, Roc-A-Wear, Carol's Daughter. You name it, Jay-Z probably has his hand in it somehow someway. The guy hangs with Warren Buffett, you think he can't outmaneuver José Canseco?
2. Ludacris
Mr. Bridges has his own cognac (Conjure, but you can call it "Luda-gnac"), a restaurant (Straits Atlanta) and his own cologne ("Get Yours"). Not only that, but our #10 Hottest MC in the Game recently became a pitchman for that Magnum line of condoms, which is random, but probably paying him an, ahem, large sum of money.
3. Busta Rhymes
Back in 2002, nobody even knew what Courvoisier was. That is, until Busta Rhymes immortalized the liquor brand in his hit single "Pass The Courvoisier Part II." It was right around this time when it started clicking with rappers, 'Hey, maybe I should stop promoting other people's products and start selling my own!' Well, duh.
4. 50 Cent
Fifty was so revered for his business acumen at one point that he even got his own MTV show built around "The Apprentice" theme. It was called "50 Cent: The Money and The Power." At the time Donald Trump said, "[50 Cent] just did a show. It was a copy of 'The Apprentice.' It will fail because he's not Trump." The show didn't fair well, but maybe Fif can give Trump a few pointers anyway, because he just got $200 million for a couple of movies.
5. Damon Dash
The former Roc-A-Fella chief once listed Pro Keds, Roc-A-Wear, Armadale Vodka and a bazillion other companies in his vast business portfolio. Then it all fell apart. Heck, his former partner just got busted by the Feds for selling weed! Sure, times are hard, but once a star, always a threat.
6. Master P
Percy Miller's success with No Limit Records in the late 90s lead to dozens of off-shoot ventures, proving he had a penchant for selling way more than just music. To wit, there was the Master P "Make Em Say Uhhh" doll, No Limit Films, and even No Limit clothing, which despite No Limit going bankrupt, is still sold at Walmart! And Trump knows a thing or two about bankruptcy, heck he just filed for it a few months ago.
7. Dr. Dre
We might not know when Detox is coming but Dre's making more money selling headphones nowadays. Monster's Beats by Dre headphones dropped in 2008 and since then Mr. Young's signed up an all-star line-up- Lady Gaga, Diddy and even Justin Bieber have their own headphones now- proving not only is Dre good at endorsing products, but also bringing other talent on board. That's like, MBA-level ish right there.
8. Snoop Dogg
Snoop's perfect for "Celebrity Apprentice" because he's literally written the book on how to sell all types on random products. There's the iFizzle iPhone app, Snoop Dogg action figures, Snoop Dogg clothing, a marijuana-flavored candy, and perhaps the funniest of all, Snoop Doggs hot dogs. Snoop can sell anything!
9. Kanye West
'Ye's proven he's definitely able to produce great art (did you see Runaway? I mean...). But his label, G.O.O.D. Music was dropped by Columbia Records a few years back, and his Pastelle clothing line closed up shop really before it ever even got off the ground. If West's shown anything, it's that he's willing to be subservient and learn. He even interned at Fendi earlier this year, so he's perfect for learning the ropes via "Celebrity Apprentice."
Credit Mr. Williams for not only changing the sound of hip-hop, but also its fashion. He spearheaded the rise of Japanese clothing brand A Bathing Ape in the states and also launched his own lines, Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream footwear. Earlier this year he launched his own website—Kidult.com—for the grown ass kid in all of us. In 2009, Fast Company slotted him #36 on their list of 100 most creative people in business, which is saying a great deal, because if there's one thing people really dig, it's a truly original idea.

A final, final note (Dec. 12, 2016): I finished reading The Master and Margarita some time ago. As it turns out, Korovyov the choirmaster does not represent the overarching State in any of its aspects. He is instead a kind of trickster or tormenter and in the end something quite different--radically and unexpectedly different. I should point out, though, that creepy clowns seem to have disappeared from the news. We have instead mass hysteria about "fake news" and, in an ironic turnabout, Democrats looking for Russians under every bed. In any case, I regret the misinterpretation of Bulgakov's novel and of events in general.

Immersed in wintery gloom and headlines of doom, perhaps it's time for us to take a deep breath and remind ourselves to laugh! Humor –remember that?!–is the perfect prescription for sanity.
From slapstick to Seinfeld, America's popular culture has always embraced humor. Composers of the classic American songbook extolled happiness in such songs as "Make 'Em Laugh", which Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed wrote for Singin' in the Rain. Who can forget Donald O'Connor's romp (left) while singing, "You start off by pretending you're a dancer with grace,/You wiggle till they're giggling all over the place,/And then you get a great big custard pie in the face,/Make 'em laugh, make 'em laugh, make 'em laugh!"
I emcee a monthly "Classic Movie Night" program in Washington, D.C., and recently screened the Marx Brothers' 1932 movie Horse Feathers—and yes, people roared! It made me consider how this totally zany film was embraced not only by Depression audiences, but by people today. "Reality" may be a clouded concept in our polarized world, but "silly" retains clarity and is, dare we say, a "winner."
Horse Feathers was the fourth of thirteen movies the Marx Brothers made together, following The Cocoanuts, Animal Crackers, and Monkey Business, and just before Duck Soup's classic spoof, in which Groucho becomes the president of a tiny country–Hail, Freedonia!
The Marx Brothers grew up in New York, and their mother—a classic "stage mother"—pushed them into performing as youngsters. They were a song-and-dance act until they discovered they had more fun when they made audiences laugh. The Marx Brothers became big stage stars in the 1920s in Chicago and on Broadway in such shows as The Cocoanuts and Animal Crackers.
Movies were the new star vehicles by the late 1920s, and the Marx Brothers made a seamless transition to the big screen. Even in the direst years of the Depression, audiences flocked to watch their craziness, and the Marx Brothers soared to Hollywood stardom.
Their fame was given the cultural stamp of approval when TIME Magazine put a photo of Groucho, Harpo, Chico, and Zeppo on its August 15,1932, cover (left) to celebrate the premiere of Horse Feathers. The New York Times review of this new movie rhapsodized how the audience in the packed Rialto Theater laughed riotously—"Some of the fun is even more reprehensible than the doings of these clowns in previous films, but there is no denying that their antics and their patter are helped along by originality and wit." Groucho was signaled as "the life of this little party." (Quoted in Mordaunt Hall, "Groucho & His Brothers in a New Film, Filled with Their Characteristic Clowning," New York TIMES, August 11, 1932.)
Marx Brothers historian Matthew Hahn has written a fascinating new book that explores how their humor played an important role in the rise of celebrity caricature in the 1930s. The Animated Marx Brothers illustrates how the hundreds of cartooned images—"Marxtoons"– exploded their fame far more than their appearance in thirteen movies.
Hahn explains in his "Prologue" that "Animated cartoons containing celebrity caricatures are almost as old as film itself." (xv) Felix the Cat was the first animated star, appearing in 1923's Felix in Hollywood. Talking pictures made cartoons ever-more popular, and the ability of movies to make stars well-known nurtured the graphic art of caricature. Hahn quotes animation expert Michael Barrier's description of how celebrity caricatures became a popular vogue in the 1930s: "They were everywhere. Magazines and newspapers ran page after page of them. People like Miguel Covarrubias and Al Hirschfeld were very popular." Animators such as Joe Grant became known at the major studios for their caricatures, and Grant's work in particular was featured in such classic cartoons as Mother Goose Goes to Hollywood (1938), which happily exaggerated Greta Garbo's big feet, Joe E. Brown's vast mouth, and the Marx Brothers' "virtuosity."
Like the art of celebrity caricature, the Marx Brothers' heyday was in the 1930s. Cartooned imagery was a perfect confluence of art and fame, and one the public enthusiastically consumed in the media of the age. Fame based on personality is what drew people to the movie box office and what they looked for in magazines and newspapers at their neighborhood newsstands. Because it was an art that instantly captured the lively essence of famous celebrities, caricature emerged as a leading expression of the personality-enthralled culture of the Thirties.
Al Hirschfeld was a young artist who helped nurture the rise of celebrity caricature. He earned part of his early reputation by portraying MGM movie stars, as when he drew the poster for the Marx Brothers first MGM film, A Night at the Opera. His long-time archivist and biographer David Leopold has perceptively written that "The Marx Brothers started to look more like Al's drawings, rather than the other way around"—Hirschfeld had so definitively captured the brothers that "even the Marx Brothers themselves tried to conform to Al's image" (David Leopold, The Hirshfeld Century; Portrait of an Artist and His Age, Alfred A. Knopf: NY, 2015, pp. 71, 77).
In his exploration of The Animated Marx Brothers, Matthew Hahn similarly writes that caricatures of the Marx Brothers "were frequently used as a form of shorthand, to inject zaniness into a scene." (xvi) His research illustrates how the brothers were depicted from their heyday through such contemporary television shows as The Simpsons. Hahn's book is a treasure trove for "Marxists," but even less zealous fans will especially appreciate his chapter on "Theatrical Marxtoons" that documents such classics as "Mother Goose Goes to Hollywood."
Hahn has conducted exhaustive research, scouring collections of other film collectors and of such museums as the National Portrait Gallery and the National Museum of American History. His research is evident in chapters devoted to "Television Marxtoons," "Animated Credits and Effects in Live-Action Marx Brothers Movies," "Marxtoons in You Bet Your Life, Groucho, and DeSoto Commercials," "Marxtoon TV Pilots," "Other Marxtoons," and "Marxtoon Trivia." In each chapter, Hahn lists "Marxtoons" chronologically and by title, and provides a concise description of each.
Hahn's book is a remarkable reference for "Marxists" in particular, but also for anyone interested in film and cartoon history. Most of all, he has added a welcome chapter to our understanding of how celebrity caricature illuminated America's life and times during the Depression's darkest hours.

Phúc Lộc : Yummy Cháo @ A Great Price!Posted by Kat at 1:13 AM
Since PK just started her own site, Princess Kitty's Lala Land, it's the perfect time to give a shout out to her! She recommended me to try Phúc Lộc for their Cháo. I am a huge fan of Cantonese Congee so I was very interested to try this place out when she recommended it. A large container of Cháo filled with meat and innards is only $3 or $4 if you want extra meats and innards. They open very early every day and closes around 6 or 7 PM. Be sure to call to make sure that they still have the Cháo left if you go towards the end of the day. The first time I went at the end of the day and they told me that they had run out. I drooped my head and walked away sadly. Then I made it my goal that weekend to return with a vengeance! lol
I decided to get 2 containers to go. One regular and one with extra meats to see the difference. Okay, so be prepared... you must be very open to eating "other" parts of the animal or... just do what I do... I only pour what I like into the bowl to eat! lol Inside the Cháo were Pig's Blood, Vietnamese Meat, Tongue, Intestine, Stomach, and more.... I know some of you may be gagging but the Cháo was actually super flavorful. Like I said, just eat the parts you like or just eat the rice parts.
They really know how to stew the rice and meats to create this flavor of explosion. You are also given Bean Sprouts and Limes to spice up the soup. Personally I just love the natural flavor of the Cháo. Be sure to not let it sit in the container too long before consumption because the condensation that builds up could lighten the flavor/tastiness of the Cháo. Also stop by a bakery to pick up some Chinese Doughnut to break off and throw in the Cháo. It's best if it is hot and crispy to give that extra texture. I usually warm/toast it inside a conventional oven. ^_^
While I was there, I saw that they had a stick of Vietnamese Meat that looked good. They also have pre-packed food to buy on the go. I decided to pick up a box of Noodles with an assortment of Meat and Shrimp on top. The Egg Roll was what tempted me the most. Sadly it was not warm and fresh but still good. I went a little overboard that weekend and bough a bunch of food to eat so I ended up giving these to the family. O=9 Still, all in all it was a great deal and great Cháo! I have been back a few times now and it has always been good but not as good as the first time. The flavor is not too consistent but I still really enjoy the Cháo and for the price, why not! lol If only they were closer!Phúc Lộc

I had a great driving instructor. He is extremely patient and aims to correct all mistakes and bad driving habits. He constantly gives corrective suggestions which gets ingrained into you as a learner. By listening to him and working on my driving with him for around 3 months, I was able to clear my practical driving test. Thanks Andy1st for the effort put in.
Many thanks to Ali- great driving instructor.
From the first lesson, he was very patient and understanding. I went from no prior driving experience to passing my test within a short space of time!
Very good person to have a chat with whilst driving, which definitely improved my confidence in unfamiliar situations.
His teaching style will definitely keep my driving standards high when I'm out on the road by myself and will help me to improve my skills further; planning ahead is one of the main skills I've learnt from him.
Overall, very patient and encouraging driving instructor who puts the needs of his learner before all else, therefore I'd recommend him to anyone who wants to pass with a high level of confidence and very good driving skills.
Thanks Ali!
I was a very nervous learner but Ibhrahim showed great teaching skills and patience throughout all my lessons and most importantly the build up to my test which did take me a couple of attempts to complete granted but each time was given the support and advice I required to pass highly recommend him to anyone! Great guy and instructor...
Nathan is a great driving instructor and a genuinely nice guy. He helped me prepare for my driving test quickly and effectively, and I was able to pass first time! The teaching he gave me was incredibly helpful, and he was patient with me as I learned. I'd recommend Nathan to anyone looking for a great driving instructor!
Ibra is a FANTASTIC instructor who genuinely cares about his students ' learning experience. Extremely helpful, patient and great teacher, passed first time! The best in Birmingham for automatic learners!
