Mumbai Indians (MI) beat defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by one run in a thrilling match in Hyderabad to become the 1st team to win the Indian Premier League (IPL) four times.
It was definitely the clash of the Titans – two teams that had won three IPL titles each, two teams that had some of the best Indian and international players, two teams that have frequently faced each other and provided some classic IPL moments across the tournament.
Frequently, when a match is hyped as much as the MI vs CSK match, it turns out to be a damp squib. But, not this one though. It was a classic final, where MI emerged champions after beating CSK on the very last ball.
In a match where momentum shifted regularly between the two teams, MI was rewarded by their faith in their veteran bowler, Lasith Malinga who held his nerve to defend 9 runs in the final over. With this fourth victory, MI became the most successful team in the 12-year history of the tournament.
At the halfway stage, the trophy looked like it was heading towards Chennai. Superb bowling by Deepak Chahar, Imran Tahir and Shardul Thakur ensured that none of MI's rampaging batsmen could dominate the proceedings.
Quinton de Kock, Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishen got starts but were unable to convert them into a position of strength. Hardik Pandya made 16 off 10 but was undone by Chahar. At one stage, MI looked like they would struggle to even get to 130 but, Kieron Pollard's knock of 41 off 25 balls including three fours and three sixes brought back the momentum. With him at the crease, MI looked like they could get to 160 or more but Dwayne Bravo bowled a stifling final over to ensure that MI ended up with a below-par total of 149.
CSK started brightly as Faf du Plessis and Shane Watson added 33 runs in four overs before du Plessis was stumped by Krunal Pandya. This did not seem to deter Watson, who looked determined to haul his team over the victory line, even though his partners on the other side of the crease kept finding ways to increase the pressure.
Suresh Raina burnt CSK's only review trying to overturn an LBW call off Rahul Chahar, while Bumrah got the better of Ambati Rayudu who was caught by de Kock. The match, however, was nowhere close to over.
To control the situation, CSK's captain walked into the middle in what was fast becoming a familiar situation for him and the team – a semi-collapse in the middle, chasing a low total and needing his guiding hand. CSK fans knew they had a chance as long as 'Captain Cool' was in the middle.
But, tonight, however, was not his night. Dhoni struggled to get two off eight balls before he tried to steal a second run off an overthrow. Ishan Kishan swooped down on the ball and threw it down the stumps at the non-striker's end, catching Dhoni marginally short. It was a tight call and one that proved to be the turning point of the match.
Watson, however, was not giving up so easily. He smacked Lasith Malinga all over the park, hit Krunal Pandya for three sixes off consecutive balls and looked determined to single-handedly win the trophy for Chennai. The total looked within reach, even as Dwayne Bravo was dismissed by Bumrah.
At the start of the 19th over, Watson was on strike with 9 runs to get. Malinga was still reeling from the 20-run over. A single off the first ball, another quick single by Jadeja to bring Watson back on strike and two runs off the third ball brought the equation down to 5 off 3.
They took an easy single off the 4th ball but Watson wanted the strike and set off for a second. Halfway there, he saw the throw in from the deep and a waiting de Kock gleefully knocked the bails off with Watson way short of the crease. Four runs off two balls with a new batsman at the crease and suddenly the momentum had swung MI's way again.
Four from two became two from one as Shardul Thakur ran hard to get two runs from the 5th ball. Knowing that the batsmen would run, no matter what, Malinga turned to his wicket-taking ball, a toe-crushing Yorker, a slower ball. Thakur swung and missed the ball that hit him on the pads. The umpire had no hesitation in raising his finger and death bowling wizard had done it again.
In a season defined by twists and turns, it was a fitting finale. Mumbai heads off into the sunset with another IPL trophy while CSK now has a year to introspect and improve before starting another IPL season as heavy favourites.

Boozy Ice Cream by Jen Carlson
If you know me, you know I was loving the teals in this month's kits! And also if you know me, you know I love ice-cream! So what better to document, than a new ice-cream shop I went to when I was visiting my home town of St. Louis. Clementine's had charm and I highly recommend it if you're ever in the area. Who else has flavors like Brandy Alexander and Manhattan?!
I used the All You Need is Ice Cream set to stamp "flavor", "scoop quantity", and "location" on my journaling card. It's always easy to stamp in black ink and stay safe, but I really wanted to add a bit of color. These tiny little stamps were just enough to use a smidge of teal ink and not overpower the card.
The card with the "hi" speech bubble from the Hold On main kit was super cute as-is, but ya know, that bubble kinda looked like it wanted to be a scoop to me. I used a tiny cone stamp from the Ice Cream set right underneath the bubble and added journaling with my typewriter.
The little banner from the Ice Cream stamp set was also a must-use on this layout. I love that there's an option for ice-cream as well as soft-serve because, we all know, there IS a difference and occasion for each! I wanted the banner to pop off the photo and also wanted to be sure of placement so I stamped it on cardstock first and fussy cut around it.
Maybe you're like me and ice cream is just your absolute favorite dessert. And maybe you take endless pictures of every unique flavor, no matter how many places frequented. If so, you gotta get this stamp set. I promise it'll get plenty of use! Thanks for stopping by to check out my pocket page layout!

"Most amazing and stress free wonderful 6 months! Tara was not only organized, on top of all details, helpful with all appointments, she was a friend through the whole process! Everything came together more beautifully than expected without a hiccup! She is highly recommended and will ensure your wedding day is all about you!"
-Chelsea Anderson
Heinrichs Wedding
Tara helped us plan our wedding in January. She was amazing! Tara is so much fun and incredibly easy to work with. She was very flexible with meeting with me to go over details and questions. She always answered emails, texts, and calls right away. She is very knowledgeable about vendors, venues, decorations, etc. Tara also coordinated our rehearsal dinner....which was so much fun and went perfectly. I can't say enough about how much we loved having Tara there to coordinate on the day of the wedding. She handled all the decorating, vendors, the bridal party. All I had to do was sit back and get married! I would highly recommend Tara for any event planning needs!!
-Tyler Heinrichs
Creech Wedding
Tara was my day of coordinator for my wedding. She was amazing to work with from start to finish. From meeting with me two weeks before the big day to go over all the details and taking notes on all of my requests to running our entire rehearsal and then working her butt off on the wedding day to make sure everything was setup perfectly, my vendors were all there and did what they were supposed to, keeping everything running smoothly, and keeping me and the groom on time throughout the night. She was amazing. Our venue was not the most organized so there is no way our wedding would have gone so smoothly without her help. She was also checking in with us throughout the evening to make sure we stopped to eat, had plenty of drinks, and were happy. I would highly recommend Tara to help you coordinate your wedding! You will not be disappointed!

". . . and the prisoners were listening to them;" Acts 16:25
Aware of it or not, there are always those who are watching us. There are those who are learning about Jesus solely from what they see in your life. Maybe not intentionally, but they are paying attention to the rhythm and reason for the way you live life. It's more than curiosity that makes people watch and listen for Jesus in our lives.
There are always fellow prisoners that are suffering the same struggles as ours. They want to know if you have any insight on how they can handle their problems. They desire to know what the secret of your victorious joy and the reason why you are singing in such a dark hour.
What an incredible opportunity to help others through their trials. What a stunning challenge it places on us to handle our struggles in a manner that points others to Jesus. Think of it, whatever hardship we face, there are always others around us with ears attuned to find for themselves the source of our passion.
That night the prisoners were listening as Paul and Silas sang. As they lifted up their voices in worship, their passion for Jesus filled the listeners' ears. Paul and Silas did not know they had an audience at the time. They were not thinking of them as they sang, they were thinking of God and His goodness, His unconquerable love.
This was not merely a song of courage, it was a song of faith. This is why it had such a heart-stopping effect on the other prisoners. It's fine to encourage others to endure the storms of life, but there's no gospel in that.
The good news comes by telling them that the presence that's with them in the storm is the Lord Jesus Christ. That's the secret of the Christian's success, that's the difference between false faith and faith forged in fiery trials.
Who are the ones around you listening to your life?
What lessons about Jesus are they learning from your example?

Is Ty Simpkins a gay? Bio: Career movies, Net worth, Personal life, Early life, Facts
Who is Ty Simpkins?
At a young age, American actor Ty Simpkins faced gay rumors. But blessed with a close relationship with a girlfriend, rumors were falsified. He introduced his girlfriend to the world via social media and brought her up on his Twitter. The major film portrayals of the native of New York include Insidious (2011) and Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013), Iron Man 3 (2013) and Jurassic World (2015). Ty played a role in a drama film All The King's Men, where he played a younger version of the character of Jude Law. The film led Ty to play Aaron's role in the 2006 award-winning Little Children.
How was the early life of Ty Simpkins?
Ty, who was born to Monique and Stephen on 6 August 2001, proud of his parents. Ty has a close relationship with his family, including his older sister, and updates his social media with their pictures in good time.
When and how did Ty Simpkins start his Career?
From an undeniable young age, 16-year-old Ty began his acting career. He appeared first on TV when he was only three weeks old. He first depicted a recurrent role as John 'Jack' Cramer in the One Life To Live drama series. Interestingly, before he was born, he was already chosen for the role. Soon after, he again played a recurring role as Jude Cooper Bauer in a series Guiding Light soap opera, which he depicted for almost four years. Since then, he has had a number of jobs including advertising and printing ads. He even starred in the series of dramas Law&Order: Criminal Intention. Ty then plunged into the silver screen as he made his film debut in the 2005 Wars of the World of Steven Spielberg. Ty and his sister, actress Ryan Simpkins, came from a family that carries the blood for acting and played Colin Farrell's children in the film Pride and Glory in 2008. They played together again in various films such as Gardens of the Night and The Revolutionary Road. In 2009, Ty appeared at the CSI, Private Practice and the Four Family. And he portrayed Luke's role in the movie The Next Three Days in September of the same year. One of his remarkable roles was in 2013 when he played with Robert Downey, Jr. Live-action movie Iron Man 3. It was the first time that a child was prominently featured in the Iron Man movies. He also played a role in the Jurassic World 2015 blockbuster. And in 2017, he was cast in the version of "IT" as Bill Denbrough. And it is reported that in Avengers 4, which will premiere in 2019, he will portray Harley Keener, the same Iron Man 3 child.
How much is the Net worth of Ty Simpkins?
With a few jobs in such a young age, Ty has already earned a great deal of fortune; according to the 2012 research, his net worth was $2 million, which has increased to the present date. And it is also clear that his net worth will keep on increasing as he keeps his career in it.
Who is in the Persona life of Ty Simpkins?
Well, Ty was speculated to be homosexual several times. What caused the speculations are not sure, but Ty seems to have a perfect answer to remove all these accusations. Ty uploaded a picture of a girl named Jordan Wilson in his Twitter account on 25 August 2015 and cited the lady as his girl. In addition, he also replied to a fan tweet on 28 September 2017, in which the girl asked him to leave. Ty replied to the tweet saying that if he did so, his girlfriend would kill him and go with her. A Looking at tweets it's clear that Ty 's got a real girlfriend. While fans wanted to learn more about his friend, Ty had avoided disclosing her to the world.
But that changed on 13 September 2018 when Tyler posted a lovely picture on Instagram with his sweetheart, shocking many fans because the girl was completely different from the picture he shared in 2015. Since introducing his girlfriend, Ty has been more open to sharing more pictures with the girl and they look adorable by God. Look at them! Look at them! They're absolutely lovely and the title is heart melting.
fig: Ty Simpkins with his girlfriend on Instagram
In any case, fans were supportive and repulsive of Ty being taken in love with his friend. Many fans filled the comment section with blessings and good wishes, while some fans were mad at Ty because they even thought they were in a relationship with so many fans who hoped for their chance. In fact, one fan even said that they were no longer a fan of Ty. That's fandom. In any case, Ty looks pretty happy and enthusiastic about his girlfriend, so he doesn't care about any hateful opinion. And here is the hope that he will continue to show his partner so that we can gush over them.

EMTV Strikes MoA With SDA Church to Spread Gods Word
by Jack Lapauve Jr – EM TV News, Port Moresby
Media Niugini Limited today signed a Memorandum of Agreement with the Seventh-Day Adventist church of PNG, to extend and spread the word of God.
The MoA paves way for the airing of locally-produced programs for Hope Channel, through EMTV.
It is another milestone for the Seventh-Day Adventist Church of PNG to extend and share the love of God through the Holy Scriptures.
Media Niugini Limited, through EMTV, will air spiritual messages and other relevant programs for Hope Channel every Saturday morning.
Head of the SDA church in PNG, Pastor Blasius Managos says, the church is keen to use the next platform of media in its core mission to share God's word.
EMTV's Head of News, Neville Choi, says as a broadcasting medium in PNG, the company also invites other churches in the country to extend messages of life.
The Seventh-day faith reached PNG shores in 1908 and has now been part of the development of the country, not only in sharing the word of God, but through Education and Health services.
The MoA resembles the Church Government partnership in achieving Government's Vision 2050 aspirations.
The MoA was signed by Minister Micah, Pastor Managos and Mr Choi at the National Parliament State Function room this afternoon.

Chitosan oligosaccharides are known to possess many biological activities and functional properties that are being introduced in many food applications, pharmaceutical, agricultural and environmental industries. Accordingly, experiments were carried out for the maximum production of chitosan oligosaccharide by immobilization using various carrier materials under submerged fermentation from PurpureociliumlilacinusCFRNT12 using chitosan solution as substrate. Various immobilizing materials were selected and introduced in the media for fermentation. The selection of a best carrier was done according to the analytical studies and enzyme assay values. The selected carrier was introduced to batch fermentation process for continuous production of chitosan oligosaccharides. 4 |

Ahead of WTO Ministerial Conference in Geneva, trade ministers of G-20 countries are expected to meet tomorrow to review the progress of talks on liberalising global trade through the Doha pact, an official said today.
Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma will be attending the three-day 'Eighth Ministerial Conference' of World Trade Organisation (WTO), beginning from December 15.
The Ministerial Conference is the highest decision-making body of the 153-member multi-lateral organisation, which meets at least every two years.
The trade ministers of BRICS countries - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa - and SAARC are also expected to deliberate on the delayed Doha Round of talks, the official said.
"Before the plenary, we will meet various developing nation members both as a group and bilaterally to coordinate positions of developing countries," Sharma said after reaching Geneva, the WTO headquarter.
The Doha Round of talks, which began in 2001, have missed several deadlines due to differences on the demand by the developed countries on the level of market opening in the developing nations. There are also discords on protection for farmers in the rich world.
Sharma is expected to hold bilateral meetings with Bangladesh and New Zealand. Besides, G-33 member nations are also likely to meet.
G-33 is a group of developing countries that coordinate on trade and economic issues.

A few days ago, we all awoke to the realization that Amazon had removed device encryption features from Fire OS 5—the operating system powering its Fire tablets—when it debuted last fall. After considerable controversy, though, the company says it will reintroduce device encryption in an upcoming software update.
"We will return the option for full disk encryption with a Fire OS update coming this spring," the company said in a statement.
The story behind the story: In Fire OS 4 and earlier, you could encrypt your Fire tablet and set it to require you to enter a PIN in order to unlock your device. Additionally, you could set your device to erase itself after 30 incorrect passcode guesses.
Although recent debate on encryption has centered on issues involving law enforcement, removing device encryption has more practical implications, too. for instance, by encrypting your tablet and setting it to automatically erase after a certain number of incorrect guesses, you can prevent a thief from gaining access to your personal information—addresses, phone numbers, calendar events, you name it.
Not related to the Apple-FBI case
Encryption has been a hot topic of discussion in the wake of Apple's ongoing legal dispute with the FBI—a case in which the FBI wants Apple to remove several passcode encryption safeguards from a particular iPhone 5c. With that in mind, it's important to note that Amazon's original decision to remove device encryption had nothing to do with any legal case.
Instead, as IDG News Service's Blair Hanley Frank noted on Friday, the company decided various "enterprise features"—including device encryption—from Fire OS 5 because they went largely unused. According to that report, the lack of encryption in Fire OS 5 only became apparent "because Amazon just allowed older tablets—the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 and the Fire HD 6/7—to upgrade from Fire OS 4."
This story, "Amazon's bringing encryption back to its Fire tablets" was originally published by PCWorld.

Time to strip
Stripping and peeling off old wallpaper without chemicals and without going insane is possible, even for real beginners!
Before embarking on this new adventure, protect the floor with cardboard. Then, firmly but elegantly, try pulling the wallpaper off dry. If it does, you are so lucky! Just sing hallelujah at the top of your voice and dance. Don't forget to do this BEFORE wetting the paper, because when in contact with water, the old dormant glue may wake up and fiercely stick to the wall again.
If the wallpaper refuses to let go, you are left with the wet option. Fill a small bucket with boiling water. Add some white vinegar – effective, cheap, and non-toxic. Use a half water half vinegar solution. That's it, nothing else. To make sure your water is always hot, mix your stripping solution in small batches. Soak a pretty paint roller in it and spread it on, one section of the wall at a time.
Wet the wall from top to bottom in a 50 cm increment. Give the mixture 10 minutes to work its magic.
Take a deep breath and, without having the heebie-jeebies, start peeling from the bottom edge. If the wallpaper resists, use a plastic putty knife. Peel pieces of wallpaper away one at a time. Do 50 cm increment wetting of the wallpaper while you peel the 50 cm area you did previously. If your wallpaper desperately clings on, keep wetting it while you're peeling it. In case of stubborn unwillingness to let go, leave it to soak for a few minutes more.
When your walls are finally bare, look out for cracks to be filled. Use some plaster or jointing compound. If you don't have either, mix equal amounts of salt and corn starch. Add just enough water to make a thick and pliable paste. To plaster over small holes, wet them with a paintbrush. This clever trick helps the filler bond to the surface. Squeeze some plaster directly into the hole. Press it firmly into place, then spread it. It should be slightly higher than the wall surface. When dry, sand the surface with small-grade abrasive paper wrapped around a sanding block.
To fill larger holes, dip some newspaper into a runny plaster and water mix, scrunch it up and shove it into them, to give the filler a base to attach itself to. Let it dry before sanding. Don't forget to lightly sand the whole walls to remove any wallpaper glue residue. After this, you can burst with pride: the walls are in tiptop shape for you to roll on the paint or hang new wallpaper.

Family "Edu-tainment" Includes STEAM and a Story of Slave to First Lady's Confidante
One of the touching stories about the Lincoln family is that of Elizabeth Keckly, a woman who bought herself out of slavery and became First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln's personal dressmaker and confidante.
On Saturday, March 16, in the Library Center auditorium, Dr. Jennifer Fleischner, Adelphi University professor, will describe the story from her book, "It May Be Charged That I Have Written Too Freely'" Elizabeth Keckly and Mary Lincoln Remember and Write," at 2 p.m. for grades 6-12, and for adults at 7 p.m.
Books will be available for purchase and signing at the event. Sponsored by Wilson's Creek National Battlefield, with the Library and Civil War Roundtable of the Ozarks.
_ _ _
The Library collection has a whopping 822 titles about parenting, ranging from potty training to raising emotionally complex kids. If you're a parent, grandparent or other caregiver, here is some upcoming "edu-tainment" for the family.
Parent Café: Special Needs Edition is planned from 6-8 p.m. Friday, March 15, in the Library Center auditorium. This is a chance to meet with new people, share ideas and learn about community resources for parents and caregivers of children with special needs. Dinner and child care provided. Presented in partnership with Include Ozarks and Community Partnership of the Ozarks. To register, call 883-5341.
_ _ _
Many of our programs focus on science, technology and engineering – the STE of STEAM – so we're using a new grant to create a series, Sample the Arts, with a focus on art and music. You'll find, as we did, that art and music have a lot to do with STEAM skills.
On Saturday, March 16, at 10 a.m., gather your family and kids age 5-grade 6 for fun, engaging art activities in the Library Center Story Hour Room. We'll use music and movement to create messy art, and materials will be provided. While we encourage parents and caregivers to join their kids in the play and learning, it isn't always required.
At 2 p.m. Saturday, March 16, in the Library Station Story Hour Room, families with children in grades K-6 are invited to create using your imaginations and artistic styles while learning about kinetic sculptures by making mobiles inspired by Alexander Calder.

Cheat-sheet: Industry Acronyms Every Creative Freelancer Should Know
Having trouble discerning your CMS from your GDPR? You've come to the right place!
It occurs to me as I write these posts that certain terminology has embedded itself into the way I talk and write. And I'm sure that some readers are scratching their heads, wondering what all the acronyms stand for—and potentially, even, why some of the language is important for them to know.
"Knowing is half the battle…"
G.I. Joe
This is one of my favourite sayings for a reason: I've never met a client who didn't appreciate a service provider who knew their stuff. And to "know your stuff" in the creative world these days means knowing bits and pieces of marketing and sales, technology, media and a whole host of other interconnected threads that make up the digital fabric of our existence.
Here's a list of acronyms that, once learned, can help you sound like you've been in the industry as long as I have:
B2B (business-to-business) vs. B2C (business-to-consumer): Whether a business is trying to sell to other businesses or to consumers. (Hint: Most popular brands that come to mind are likely B2C, though they also likely have a B2B offering that consumers don't know about.)
CASL (Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation): A privacy legislation that's meant to regulate and reduce spam and other electronic threats to user privacy and security; applies to almost all forms of Commercial Electronic Messaging (CEM), including email, text and IM, as well as the unlawful upload of software or programming on users' devices.
CMP (consent management platform): Technology solution that allows marketers to manage consumer opt-ins to receiving CEM; especially important in light of privacy legislation like CASL and GDPR.
CMS (content management system): The back-end system that allows you to change the content, design and other elements of a digital platform, site or app. The most user-friendly versions often use WYSIWYGs (literally, "What You See Is What You Get"), which let you see the changes you're making as you make them (vs. relying on complicated coding and trial and error).
CPM (cost per thousand): Roughly, the cost of advertising to a thousand digital users, though fraught with issues, including whether a user actually interacted with the ad/brand. Alternatives: vCPM (viewable cost per thousand), which is tied to how often an ad can actually be seen by users, or RPM (revenue per thousand impressions), which is tied to sales resulting from an ad placement.
CRM (customer relationship management): A platform that many marketers use to collect, manage and massage their customer data; also often used to pull target audience segments for digital marketing campaigns.
CTR (click-through rate): Measure of the number of click-throughs an ad receives from users. Considered outdated, as click-throughs don't necessarily mean sales.
CX (customer experience): The experience a consumer has when interacting with a brand; end-to-end CX takes into account brand engagement in-store, online, on social media and in the world at large.
DTC (direct-to-consumer): Consumer brands that choose to bypass traditional retail sales channels, to sell their wares online, on social media platforms or in pop-up shops. Popular examples: Allbirds, Glossier and Warby Parker.
GDPR (General Data Privacy Regulation): Launched in mid-2018; legislation that regulates the privacy, control and transfer of consumer data for citizens in the European Union, with widespread implication for all marketers who use CEM to engage with consumers worldwide. Learn more about GDPR here.
SEO (search engine optimization): Methodology used to increase the number of visitors to a site by obtaining a high-ranking placement in results pages on Google, Bing and other search engines.
SMB (small- to medium-sized business): A highly prized category of clients/customers for many brands
UI (user interface): The front-end experience that any user sees when they open up a digital platform, site or app.
UX (user experience): A catchphrase for the quality of the experience that a user has when interacting with a digital platform, site or app.
VR (virtual reality) vs. AR (augmented reality): VR works by completely covering and replacing what a user sees in their field of vision vs. AR, which adds to a user's field of vision, and only alters what users see on their smartphones, tablets or other digital devices.
Which industry acronyms make you think "WTF"?
Let's talk about it! Leave a comment below or email me (email@example.com) to discuss.

|Skullman In: Scooby Doc 4: The Destroyer (Featuring Atsushi Onita)
|RED-FIRE & Majestic Sales Inc.
|This is a fangame loosely based off the Mega Man (Classic) series. The game stars Skullman, who has become an "international attacker" through his many violent missions. One day, a "WARGATE" opens, creating a portal to other worlds and creating mass panic for humans and robots alike. Now, it's up to Skullman to enter the wargate, take on a myriad of unusual opponents, and escape the Void. It's a Boss Game, with only four of its 20 levels featuring anything more than a beginning room and a boss fight. Defeating a boss rewards Skullman with currency, which he can use to purchase additional weapons or cosmetic hats. The game is filled with strange references; you could be using the Contra spread gun to battle the Black Mage one moment, and be an airplane shooting down Mr. Big the next.

The title says it all, but here's the story:
The beginning is a little muddy, as are many things on the titillating periphery of Charles Manson's legendary days of carnage. Manson drifted through a number of groups, musical and religious, picking up bits and pieces to make the ultimate tableau that can connect The Beach Boys to Scientology while ping ponging off dozens of other acid era Californian cultural touchstones. So the story goes, one of these influences was a sinister cult going by the name of Process Church of the Final Judgement. The group was awash with rumors of satanic worship, conspiracy connections, and dark deeds. The reality, it seems, is a lot more like a theater geek and a theology major having a green week than the summoning of Black Phillip. Founded by ex-Scientologists themselves with a habit of folding old beliefs into new ones, the Process Church went through a variety of incarnations and locations. Starting in England, they got fed up with ol' father Hubbard and pilgrim-like moved on to Mexico City where they rolled up some local historical religious flavor until they were washed out by a hurricane. Still going strong they started up chapters, and a coffee shop called Satan's Cavern, around the world including one in San Francisco. Here the supposed Manson connection was made, standing out among rumors of satanic worship and the ritual murder of German shepherds. This peaked when Manson was asked by police if he knew the church's founder, Robert De Grimston Moore (a suitable name for a warlock of sorts), and Manson responded "You're looking at him. Moore and I are one and the same". The church responded by lawyering up and claiming no connection but also, perhaps grasping at publicity, published an essay Manson had written in prison in the Death edition of their self published magazine (also called The Process).
That pretty much sums up Manson's involvement, but the Process Church kept rolling. In it's established style of never quite putting something down before picking the next thing up, it continued to evolve through an unbroken lineage of altered forms until it finially metamorphosed into an animal rescue refuge in Kanab, Utah. Kind of like a band that's ended its experimental phase and settled into some comfortable pop, the Process Church made its final rebrand to the Best Friends Animal Society. It stripped itself of any signs of religious past and, save for rumors of the late founder having been eaten by wild dogs, contentedly helped animals in relative obscurity.
In 2007, Best Friends Animal Society rescued a number of dogs that had been used in an underground dogfighting ring run by at the time NFL quarterback Michael Vick. The dogs, who had originally been expected to be euthanized due to their aggression training, instead became "Vicktory Dogs"; icons for the rehabilitation of dogs who had undergone the inhumane process of fight training. Forget convincing misguided people that pet pitbulls are harmless, these dogs managed to go from bloodsport to The Ellen Degeneres Show. Unfortunately I can't find a clip of that, but here's big sweetie Georgia doing well in a video about her rehabilitation.
So there's your six degrees of uh… Manson Ellen? It's a long ride, and if you're interested at all in the history of the Process Church or the story of the Vicktory dogs there's a whole lot more to dig into as well as two respective documentaries. Here's the documentaries and all the relevant links I pulled from.

Urban Outfitters shifting sourcing to mitigate China tariffs
By Michelle Russell | 10 September 2019
Urban Outfitters has set out its priorities to mitigate the impact of President Trump's tariffs on imports from China
US clothing retailer Urban Outfitters has said that rather than resorting to price hikes, its focus will be on sourcing from other countries and negotiating with existing suppliers to mitigate the impact of US tariffs on imports from China.
Speaking at the Goldman Sachs Global Retailing Conference last week, finance chief Frank Conforti told delegates the company has "moved over 20 points of our production out of China and into other markets, so that's had a big impact for us. And going back to the vendors and the factories that don't want to lose that business, who we've had relationships with for a long-standing period of time and are willing to share that tariff burden with us. We've certainly had a lot of success in those conversations with vendors and mitigating the tariffs that are out there."
The US imposed new levies on another tranche of imports from China on 1 September, meaning around US$31bn in textile, apparel and home textile products are now subject to an additional tariff of 15%. The new tariffs will hit 92% of all apparel products and 53% of all footwear items imported into the US from China.
The remaining US$160bn in US imports from China – including US$4.7bn in textile, apparel and home textile products – are set to be hit by an extra 15% tariff from 15 December.
Many US brands have already spoken about the steps they are taking to mitigate the impact of tariffs, with pre-negotiated vendor concessions bearing the brunt of this.
Menswear retailer Tailored Brands noted on its first-quarter earnings call that various burden-sharing agreements had been worked out with vendors that covered the spectrum of 10% tariffs to 25%, while children's wear retailer Carter's pre-negotiated terms with vendors. And last month US speciality apparel retailer Gap Inc said it would look at partnering with its vendors to share in the cost as well as pricing actions.
Analysts at Moody's Investors Service believe that increasing prices to consumers will be difficult, since "US consumers, saddled with higher costs, would likely cut back on purchases, which would take a bite out of company revenue and profitability."
Unfavourable price hikes
Conforti agreed that price hikes would be Urban Outfitters' least favourable tariff mitigation strategy.
"There are certain areas and certain products where maybe we'll be able to inch the price up a little bit, but I think you've got to be really careful with that and you've got to make sure you're doing it in your elevated product, and product where you are hitting that bullseye and you're hitting the mark," he explained.
"We don't think you can just large-scale hike price across the board; the consumer is too discerning right now. It's a smaller piece of the assortment where we think we might be able to do a just price, but it's not a primary strategy for us. I would agree with what retailers are telling you, that it would be tough to do across the board. You've got to be really specific and strategic where you think you'll be able to take some price."
Conforti said Urban Outfitters' strategy is a combination of diversifying its supply chain as well as pushing back on the supply base. "We've had success in doing both, moving 20 points of our production out of China and we've definitely had success at mitigating half, if not a little bit more, on our production in China, on just going back to our vendors."
Asked whether moving suppliers would be a risk for inventory going forward, Conforti said the company is "on top of it" and that the retailer will be bringing inventory in about a week earlier in the back half of the year to avoid that risk from a sales perspective.
"Because we have experienced these slippages [previously], there is a whole slew of people watching the sourcing like a hawk on a day-to-day basis – where it is in the supply chain, where we are from a production standpoint, ensuring it doesn't happen. But just in case, we probably are going to raise our inventory a bit, roughly by about one week of supply just to avoid any risk relative to the sales trend. I would expect that to come back and normalise as we get into next year and we have our feet underneath us with some of these new vendors."
Global investment
Despite the tariff headwinds, Conforti said the company is continuing to invest in China, where it has recently employed a managing director to head up the division and build up inventory.
"We have experienced really nice growth in China from a distance...where you don't have any boots or product on the ground and you're just selling in from the US. Based on that growth and based on the positive reception from the Urban and Free People brands from the customer, we said it's time for us to go into this market and have a better customer experience.
"It is not an easy market to navigate, or something you can do overnight from a talent and regulatory perspective. What we realised from taking a step back by looking at the trade war was that maybe the timing wasn't great. That being said, our market share is so incredibly small and the customer reaction we saw to our product...is something that is very unique."
Conforti said the company will also look to increase its presence in Europe – a region in which it has low penetration – despite the "noise" about Brexit.
"While Europe is certainly challenged from a macro perspective...we believe in the market long-term and we're taking the opportunity to go and grab some better rents. It is a market we believe we can increase our market share in over time, so we're going to take the opportunity that presents itself right now with a little bit of a macro headwind in that market if we can get some better deals on rents."
In its second-quarter, Urban Outfitters booked a 3% drop in total company net sales for the three months ended 31 July as revenue declined to US$962.3m from $992.5m last year. Comparable retail segment net sales also decreased by 3%, driven by negative retail store sales, partially offset by growth in the digital channel.
By brand, comparable retail segment net sales increased 6% at Free People and decreased 3% at the Anthropologie Group and 5% at Urban Outfitters. Wholesale segment net sales declined by 8%. Net income, meanwhile, fell to $60.3m from $90.8m.
The company operates 246 Urban Outfitters stores, 228 Anthropologie Group stores and 137 Free People stores in the US, Canada and Europe. Free People, Anthropologie Group and Urban Outfitters also wholesale sell their products through around 2,200 department and specialty stores worldwide.

This post is a part of a series introducing the presenters of our 2019 yoga conference, (March 22-24, 2019) sharing more about them, our own perspective and intentions for their involvement, and how their unique offerings contribute to the larger conference experience.
Professional Bio
Marni Sclaroff is a yoga and meditation teacher, spirit guide, and wellness mentor, with over twenty years of experience in the healing arts. She leads workshops, retreats, online courses, mentoring programs, and teacher trainings throughout the US and abroad. Her yoga classes are a unique blend of soulful inspiration woven into functional body mechanics, with a side of light-hearted playfulness, and earth based spirituality.
I recently bought a book for Maile titled "On Writing: A Memoire of the Craft" written by Stephen King, where in the brief description on the back of the book it ends with the sentence "Life isn't a support-system for Art. It's the other way around."
This sentence makes me think of Marni's teaching style. To me, her teachings seem to come from someone viewing yoga as a support system for life, but not the reason for life.
I have come to have a great appreciation for teachers who genuinely strive to meet students where they are in their practice, while also carrying with them a very real depth of knowledge.
At the conference this year Marni worked to create a special collaboration with Mindy Bez that I'm really thrilled about. One of the greatest joys of the conference is that it's a place where people meet with and reunite with their friends. Last year Marni and Mindy struck up a friendship and this year will be teaching an intensive on Friday titled "Soul Family-The Power of Yoga Friendships". They begin describing their offering with the following:
In the Buddhist Tradition, Sangha, or spiritual community, is one of the central pillars of support for the practice. Our friends become our mirrors, our support, and they become our teachers.. In our spiritual friendships, we learn how to hold a space for each other to be vulnerable, to trust, and to wake up. In this workshop, we will explore the beauty of relationships that are dedicated to supporting your highest self.
There are many customers of the conference who shared stories with us of how the conference has for them become a place to nurture their friendships. This intensive was made with you in mind!
You can learn even more about the workshop Marni will be teaching at the 2019 Tula Software Minneapolis Yoga Conference, along with dozens of other presenters bringing hundreds of workshop hours, at https://tulasoftware.com/myc2019. Join us at The Most Comprehensive Yoga Conference in the Nation, March 22-24, 2019.

1/4 tsp (1 mL) pepper
1 cup (250 mL) finely crushed thin whole wheat crackers (e.g. Wheat Thins, Breton, Stoned Wheat)
2 cups (500 mL) frozen broccoli florets, thawed, drained and chopped, if large
1 cup (250 mL) shredded Canadian Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup (125 mL) cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes, halved

Did you know?
Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C). Lightly butter a 9-inch (23 cm) deep-dish glass pie plate.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs until blended. Whisk in flour, milk, mustard, salt and pepper. Stir in crackers and 3/4 cup (180 mL) of the cheese and pour into prepared pie plate. Sprinkle broccoli into filling, pressing to submerge. Arrange tomatoes cut side up on top and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake for about 30 min or until puffed, golden and knife inserted in centre comes out clean. Let stand for 5 min before cutting into wedges.
Cooking Tip:
To crush crackers, place in a sealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin, a meat mallet or the bottom of a saucepan.
For the Adventurous: Replace broccoli with chopped thawed frozen or blanched asparagus and add 1/4 cup (60 mL) chopped smoked salmon. Use Swiss or cubed Brie cheese in place of Cheddar.
Healthy Eating Tip: This recipe is an excellent source of calcium and vitamin D, two very important nutrients for bone health. Even adult bones need attention ' they're not growing in length but they are alive and changing every day. Too little calcium and vitamin D, even in adulthood, can cause your bones to weaken. Aim for at least 2-3 Milk products daily.

Cee Lo Green: Making Millions Even If His Albums Don't Sell
from the how-it's-done deptA whole bunch of you have been sending in the recent NY Times article that details how singer Cee Lo Green is making $20 million this year, even as the sales of his album have been considered just so-so, based on traditional industry metrics. The article is really much more about Primary Wave Music, a music publisher/management firm that seems to totally get the economics of the music business today -- that by selling the scarce they can make a hell of a lot more money than just by selling music.
We've actually talked about Primary Wave's work in the past, in some of the things they've done to help Mariah Carey make money. And the story with Cee Lo is pretty similar: focus on selling the things you can't pirate, the real scarcities. And we're not talking (as our critics always insist) about tangible goods like t-shirts, but selling the person. Primary Wave may be positioned as publishing and management, but it's real business is marketing.
When Primary Wave took over Cee Lo's management, shortly before the release of "The Lady Killer," he still had a relatively low profile as a solo artist. But the company seized on the early viral success of "Forget You" to make Cee Lo a ubiquitous face.And, no, this doesn't just mean complete selling out (I can already hear the critics...), but finding campaigns that match Cee Lo's personality. They note they've turned down a ton of deals that didn't fit.
His over-the-top performances at half a dozen award shows -- performing with the Jim Henson Company puppets at the Grammys, playing a piano that spun 360 degrees above the crowd at the Billboard awards -- proved highly successful. His television campaign for the year has also included "Saturday Night Live," an appearance on the NBC comedy-drama "Parenthood" and his own talk show on the cable channel Fuse ("Talking to Strangers").
Primary Wave also booked numerous commercial endorsements for Cee Lo, in traditional TV spots like a 7Up commercial that has been running since October, as well as a Web video series for Absolut Vodka and personal appearances for Duracell and Pretzel M&M's.
Either way, it looks like Cee Lo is earning a ton of money from all of this: commercials, sponsorships, TV appearances and (of course) tons of live performances. The article notes that actual direct music sales are the smallest slice of the pie.
But the key point here is that these and many other opportunities are much more wide open to artists today, and it helps if their music is more widely known. That is, artists like Cee Lo, with the help of companies like Primal Wave, are recognizing that if you use the infinite goods -- such as the music -- to make the scarce goods (like Cee Lo himself or his endorsement) much more valuable, you can make a lot more money than ever before. And when you look at the overall market that way, you realize that there's lots more money to be made in the music industry today than ever before. The only part of the industry that's hurting is the part that was based on selling plastic discs, which has become obsolete. Everything else is booming.

As the name suggest, /r/BetterEveryLoop is for gifs that get better every loop. Or failing that, ones that you can watch a few a few times without getting sick of it. Unfortunately, this is an inherently subjective standard. This means that we can't just obtain it by enforcing a strict set of rules without either throwing out some great gifs that don't fit the exact rules we might come up with or our rules being way too loose. That's why, going forward, we trust the most engaged members of our community with the task of judging on a case by case basis which gifs belong and which don't.
But there are a few guidelines and examples we'd like to list to help you with this task. We've defined the following markers which indicate that a gif might belong on this sub along with some examples:
**The gif is short and sweet**
In and of itself, this doesn't do much to make a gif better every loop. It certainly helps if one or more of the other markers apply.
**The gif is incredibly dense**
These are the types of gifs where so much is happening at once, that you can't possibly take everything in in just one watch. These gifs are usually safe bets for our sub. The prototypical example of this type of gif is [this one](https://i.imgur.com/4hySgQo.gifv).
See also: /r/DenseGifs
**The gif has an ending that is entirely out of left field**
Sometimes a gif catches you by surprise at the very end in a way that forces you to watches it again to believe what you're seeing. Not all gifs of this type fit this sub, but some certainly do. In the best examples, the anticipation of what's to come at the end makes the entire gif significantly better than it was the first time round in subsequent watches. Here's [an example](https://i.imgur.com/OCB8XM3.gifv) of this kind of gif.
See also: /r/unexpected
**The gif is just straight up bizarre or hypnotizing**
There are those gifs that you just can't take your eyes of because they're just that damn weird or mesmerising. This might be the most subjective criterion out of the bunch, but that doesn't mean it can't make for a fantastic /r/BetterEveryLoop gif. One example of this that I'm partial to is [Joaquin Phorehead](http://i.imgur.com/1Ir8AmC.gifv).
This is not an exhaustive list and the examples are certainly don't showcase every way a gif can fulfill these criteria. If you have another marker that you think makes for a great /r/BetterEveryLoop gif or have a specific example of a gif that you think is just fantastic, I encourage you to share it in the comments so this post can become a little bit more exhaustive.

Blender drinks don't get much boozier than this rendition of that raid-the-liquor-cabinet classic. Umbrella optional.
- 2
Blender drinks don't get much boozier than this rendition of that raid-the-liquor-cabinet classic. Umbrella optional.
Sorta like a wine spritzer but with all the lovely nuances that the iconic French aperitif brings to the party.
The only real trick to this stiff summery sensation is resisting the temptation to snitch a swig before it's time.
There are those people who feel a frozen margarita is a lesser margarita. We are not those people.
A stunning if subtly pink cross of all the best characteristics of a negroni and a Champagne cocktail. Cin cin!
DIY Baileys, baby. All you need is cream, coffee, whiskey, sugar, and a taste for the good things in life.
When you want something to sip all night (or all day) without getting tipsy and without feeling like you're being deprived, this inspired riff on a classic is what you want. Simply red wine spiked with ginger syrup and a splash of seltzer.
It doesn't take an engineering degree to make a decent smoothie. Although it does take a little know-how to make one that makes you want to drink your veggies. Here's how.
Forget Robitussin. This fragrant infusion not only makes a run to the pharmacy unnecessary, but it goes down with far, far more ease than that syrupy medicinal stuff.
Mojitos in winter? Without hesitation. But only if they're concocted with dark rum and sage, rosemary, and thyme to lend this classic cocktail a decidedly winter feel.
A stunning sipper made from fragrant, sweet hibiscus flowers and spices, that's sorta like mulled wine. Or just add Prosecco and you'll instantly have even more cheer!
Crisp white wine, Cointreau, plenty of citrus, and sparkling water collide in this conversation-starting sipper that you can succumb to without regretting it the next morning.
Ever since trying this eggnog, we can't make it through the holiday season without eggnog. Not just any eggnog. This one. All the richness. None of the cloying sweetness or regret-it-the-next-day heaviness.
Essentially a tart pomegranate tonic that's similar to mulled wine but, since it lacks booze and is definitely not overly sweet, can be enjoyed without any fear of over-indulgence. We'll drink to that!
