Chicken Saltimboca is one of my very favorite easy go-to dinners. And sage is one of my favorite fall flavors. You just sprinkle sage leaves on a chicken breast, then put a layer of Proscuitto on top of that and saute in a skillet. That's it – 20 minutes max from grocery bag to table.
But why should chicken have all the fun? So, I was on a quest to try other proteins that would work with sage and Proscuitto.
I am happy to report that shrimp are just perfect for this flavorful Italian twist. And again, how can you argue with a 20 minute prep time?

Pork Tenderloin Saltimboca Sandwich, Eyes Bigger than my Stomach
12 large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
12 sage leaves
4 ounces proscuitto, thinly sliced
Vegetable oil for brushing (if grilling) or for frying
Place a sage leaf (or one half of a large sage leaf) on the outside edge of the shrimp. Wrap Shrimp with a slice of proscuitto in a single layer, covering entire shrimp.
Grill or fry the shrimp on both sides until proscuitto is crispy and the shrimp is cooked through.
Serve over a bed of marinara sauce and pasta if you like – or just set these babies next to your favorite side dish. (I used pearl couscous)

Oilwatch International has welcomed the Environmental Assessment of Ogoniland carried out by the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP), noting however, that the severity of the pollution of Ogoniland can only be described as a 'crime against humanity' for which Shell must be adequately made to account.
In a statement issued yesterday, Oilwatch International said that the widespread pollution documented in the report does not come as a surprise as it confirmed 'the putrid conditions' the people have been living in for decades.
The UNEP assessment presented to President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday documented hydrocarbon pollution in surface water throughout the creeks of Ogoniland and up to 8cm on groundwater that supply drinking wells at 41 sites including a serious case in Nisisioken Ogale in Eleme, Rivers State. Sampled soil also revealed hydrocarbons up to a depth of five metres in 49 observed sites, while, benzene, a known carcinogenic substance was found in drinking water at a level 900 times above World Health Organisation (WHO) acceptable standards. Fisheries were observed to have been destroyed while wetlands around Ogoniland were documented as highly degraded, thus impacting livelihoods.
The ecological damage will take 30 years to remediate. The assessment also indicated that Shell has not met the minimum requirements of the Environmental Guidelines and Standards for the Petroleum Industries in Nigeria (EGASPIN) as well as its own minimum standards.
"The outcome of the assessment vindicates our past charges that Shell has been operating on the basis of double standards and far below internationally accepted standards. It is sad that while Shell had always been quick to deny engaging in acts inimical to the environment in Ogoniland, it will take up to 30 years to clean up the mess it has created, especially on the mangroves of the region. The entire saga smacks of a situation of complete livelihoods decimation of the Ogoni people," said Coordinator of Oilwatch International, Nnimmo Bassey.
Bassey explained that UNEP's recommendation that an Environmental Restoration Fund for Ogoniland be set up with a take off sum of $1 billion is commendable but went on to add that: "We need a larger fund for the entire Niger Delta and a halt to the pursuit of tokenism where post card projects are embarked upon while the people live in the midst of poisons. The massive degradation which the UNEP report documents again reinforces our conviction that fossil fuels extraction largely benefits oil companies while the true cost of oil is externalised on poor communities that suffer loss of land, polluted waters, dislocation of livelihoods, health impacts and other fallouts of their voracious appetite."
Bassey explained that: "With the catalogue of damage done and still being done to the Ogoni environment it will be absolutely outrageous for anyone to dare suggest that oil extraction should be resumed in Ogoniland. Ogoni oil should be left in the soil. Shell should instead prepare a transparent decommissioning plan and embark on it immediately."
Esperanza Martinez, member Oilwatch International steering committee, noted that the report was horrific and insisted that Shell must apologise to the Ogoni people, take full responsibility for the clean up and compensate the people adequately. She also added, "the Nigerian government should take a cue from the Yasuni where the government of Ecuador plans not to extract the huge oil reserves there in order to save the environment and the planet. The Ogoni saga shows very forcefully that crude oil in Ogoniland should be left in the soil. Shell cannot deny the harm it has done in Ogoni. Alart from the spills there are toxic wastes from drilling that they dumped in unlined pits in Ogoni land. This is an ecological crime and Shell must answer for it."

recycled library: altered books exhibition
It was with trembling knees and more than just a little trepidation that I entered the State Library of NSW to check out the exhibition Recycled Library: Altered books. I've always been taught to treat my books with care (even second hand books bought for $1 from Vinnies) and I was about to enter what some have called a land of book torture. I was horrified. I felt worried on behalf of the book that lay within the safety of my handbag. Was it too late to break these books out and sticky tape them back together to their former glory? This exhibition seemed to be attacking something that I love dearly. Or was it actually celebrating these objects that seem to be drifting out of people's lives?
When you enter the exhibition you are greeted with two cavernous, dark exhibition rooms filled predominantly with books. It feels quite strange at first as most works are (obviously) book sized and it feels rather empty. There's also the problem of a touring exhibition of books, turned artworks, which is that you can't touch them, despite the importance of the fourth dimension of these works, "with the fourth dimension being time taken to handle, open and 'read'." Where these artworks usually live, at Artspace Mackay, visitors are allowed to experience this relationship between the viewer and the work by touching them and thumbing through them. Obviously in a touring exhibition this can't be achieved so the artworks become even more like objects in an old-fashioned curiosities cabinet. It almost makes you feel sorry for these captured, battered and beaten books in their little glass resting places. Is this where books are heading? Savaged by kindles, ibooks, audio books and online publications (yes, I note the irony). I know that for me books will always have a special place on my shelf and in my hands, but this exhibition makes you think about the object that is the book as it's ripped and torn apart, bound and nailed.
In Stigmata and Codex Series coloured nails are driven through books to sacrifice one object: the book, to make another: the artwork. The books are impaled with nails and the words within them, where meaning is derived from, are obscured. There is also a strange rhythmic aesthetic beauty created from the pattern of the nails and there is also a secret code made from the letters that each nail touches. In Schach #1 (circle) / Schach #2 (triangle) / Schach #3 (square) Alex Selenitsch carves into books and in Maltheism Archie Moore creates a pop-up church in the folded pages from the Bible. These artworks delve into the creation of meaning found within the object that is the book in an interesting way.
Whether it is celebrating the printed page or announcing its death, this exhibition is working checking out before it finishes this Friday, 22 June at the State Library of NSW or on tour elsewhere. Just make sure you hide your books.
One thought on "recycled library: altered books exhibition"
Sounds weird enough I might just pop along…..

I wrote a post last night and put it up on Facebook to share, but after a few minutes my wife and I talked it over and I decided to re-work it because it didn't actually reflect how I felt. Writing is difficult for me when my heart is not completely in it, and I feel that you as readers deserve my undivided attention. Netflix was on my mind and I was not feeling too great as I have been sick for the past few days, but I'm back to talk about how I really feel.
Go on and take a chance! It is easy to spend your whole life chasing dreams, but that's what sleep is for. If you want to live your dreams, then spend your life in bed. If you want to make your dreams a reality, then get out and get to work!
I have always been one to imagine things and come up with elaborate ideas, but nothing has really come to fruition because I stop and say "Well what if this works out?" I have a lot of talent and skills that I have developed over the years ("nun-chuck skills, bow hunting skills, computer hacking skills…") and yet I stop myself from moving anywhere with them. I am sick and tired of being my own wall, and yet I keep on doing the same thing over and over again! I am afraid of success, because I understand that with it comes responsibility and I am afraid of that.
Are any of you afraid of success, or even of failure? What keeps you back from making your dreams a reality? What is stopping you from doing what you want to do?
I always assumed that I never knew what I wanted to do for a career until last night. After writing the original post I thought "This doesn't feel right. It doesn't feel like me." I was talking about how I still didn't know what I wanted to do, but after thinking about it I can stand up proudly and say that I know exactly what I want.
I want this blog to be a success. I want to be able to make a wonderful income off of a project that my wife and I decided to start a couple months into our relationship. I want to build something from the ground up and see it grow and flourish, and yet I've been halting my progress by focusing on other things that have not made me as happy as writing posts on here! I want to help people and desire to build a community of love and friendship through a medium that I am familiar with. I can't do that if my focus is elsewhere, so this is my promise to you.
I promise to work hard at making my dream a reality. I promise to continue writing because I love to write. I promise that even when things are going wrong, I'll send a prayer to the Heavens and look to the future with faith.
What have you promised others or yourself but haven't followed through with it? Are there ideas that you have swirling around in your head and have never seen the light of day? What is stopping you from going forward?
Take a chance! Jump into the deep end! I'll let you know how the waters are, and then we can move forward with our dreams together.

When it comes to tea – or for that matter any kind of beverage with more than one ingredient like coffee, milkshakes, etc. – there are always various options that come tagged along with it. For example, what kind of tea do you prefer – are you a classic Oolong person or a summer-loving Iced Tea person; how much sugar you like; and also how strong you like your tea – more milk less tea, more tea less milk, or only tea?
We recently came across tea strength chart/index on Tumblr (where else?) that very aptly termed and characterized the different tea strengths and what they should be known as. And frankly, it's so funny it's true! We took the liberty of adding a few of our own options as well. Take a look at the chart and vote for your preferred tea strength below!

As we've told you repeatedly, Baby Driver, from Hot Fuzz and Shaun Of The Dead director Edgar Wright, is the coolest movie of the summer, something its surprise box office success has backed up. But, hey, we get it. Seeing is believing. Maybe you're skeptical. So, watch the opening heist and chase up above for yourself, and see what you can catch in theaters this weekend.
The heist, set to the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion song "Bell Bottoms," is probably the most awesome chase you'll see this year, and if you're a film nerd, you can spot some of the movies Wright samples from creating the chase, riffing on car movies from Walter Hill's The Driver to the original Italian Job, a theme that runs all throughout the movie in subtle ways, much like the soundtrack features several songs more famous for being sampled than in their own right. And fans of early '00s British bands might spot this as a smoother, more elaborate take on a video Wright made for Mint Royale's single "Blue Song".
So, there it is. Give it a watch and see what you think. But trust us that as cool as this is on a computer screen, there's nothing like the song blasting over a theater speaker system as it unspools on a bigger one.

AUSTIN - Despite a contentious all-night session in the Texas House of Representatives, a bill that would outlaw abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy is in serious doubt of passing in the special session that ends at midnight today.
Thank or blame the use of a filibuster in the Texas Senate. A filibuster allows a senator to speak on the chamber's floor until the clock runs out, with the intent of killing the proposed legislation.
Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, the presiding officer of the Senate, said Monday night the 31-chamber does not have the needed votes to stop a filibuster that is expected to kill Senate Bill 5, the anti-abortion measure that, if it became law, would be the most restrictive in the nation.
The emotional roller-coaster session at the state Capitol began Sunday afternoon when a good number of House Democrats managed to delay the passage of the controversial legislation.
The majority of the Democrats opposed SB 5 on grounds it would jeopardize the health of women across the state, particularly in impoverished and rural areas.
Rep. Senfronia Thompson, D-Houston, even took a hanger to the House floor to argue that back alley abortions would be common again in Texas if an amendment she proposed - to exempt victims of rape or incest - was not accepted by the bill sponsor, Rep. Jodie Laubenberg, R-Parker.
Thompson's amendment was rejected mostly along party lines.
"This was a little worse than anticipated," said Rep. Four Price who, like some of his House colleagues, didn't get a chance to get some sleep or even change suits because the chamber was scheduled to be back in session at 6:42 a.m., two hours after going in recess.
The start of the daily session was delayed for nearly three hours - until about 9:05 a.m. - because more than one-third of the 150 members were not back on the House floor at the scheduled time. In short, there were not enough representatives for a quorum.
Based on what transpired Sunday and Monday, "I wouldn't be surprised if we are called back," Price, R-Amarillo, said about the possibility Gov. Rick Perry may call another special session right away to take care of the unfinished business on the special session agenda.
The governor is the only state official who can call a special session and decide the items on the agenda.
Like other lawmakers, Price saw the possibility of a filibuster because the Senate cannot vote on SB 5 - the measure the House gave final approval to on Monday morning - before 11 a.m. today.
The filibuster is expected this morning because 11 Democrats - the minimum number of senators who can vote as a block against suspending the chamber's rules - had decided to block the measure.
Before the Senate vote, Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, had told reporters her Democratic colleagues had agreed she should filibuster the measure because it is a woman's issue and because she is a mother.
"We felt it was important - because this is an issue affecting women - that a woman has the opportunity to have the voice," Davis said.
Sen. Robert Duncan, R-Lubbock, said though he is disappointed the abortion bill will be filibustered, it is part of the process.
And if Gov. Perry calls the Legislature back for a special session, he'll be ready, Duncan said.
"This is part of the job and if it happens, we'll be here and we'll have to rework our schedules," he said.
Sen. Kel Seliger, R-Amarillo, said he feels the same way.
"If the governor calls a special session, whether I agree with the bills that are on, it doesn't matter," Seliger said. "It is my job to come down and represent my district."
But Sen. Dan Patrick was not happy about the possibility of a filibuster or another special session.
"We've been here since January and we should have taken up this issue sooner," said Patrick, R-Houston, in reference to the start of the 140-day regular session.
"We shouldn't be in this position, but we are and if the bills are filibustered, then I would encourage the governor to call us back," he said.

Before recovery can commence, the system must be flushed of harmful chemicals. This is known as detox.

Medical detoxification can minimize the side effects for anyone seeking to stop using.

#MeToo and beyond
Inequality and injustice in marketing practice and academia
We need to talk about … Sexism, Harassment, Bullying, Discrimination and Othering in Marketing Practice and Academia
There is often a tendency in the marketing discipline to view the social world in largely positive ways. The problem is that we don't necessarily live in the sterile and perfect world and workplace that we depict in our textbooks, journal articles and conference presentations. Exchange relations are not always equal (Kenny, 2018); marketplace power relationships are frequently skewed (Veer & Golf-Papez, 2018; Yagil, 2017) and we have been selective about the groups and topics we study, preferring to focus on those that keep us firmly within our intellectual and political comfort zones (Hein et al., 2016; Tadajewski et al., 2014). Put simply, epistemological convenience and the practical needs of scholarly life have led us to focus our energies on middle class, white, heterosexual individuals whose affordances ensure they have few problems negotiating the market, working within marketing, retailing and sales organisations or pursuing an academic career (Maclaran, 2015; cf. Grove, 2016; Huopalainen & Satama, 2018). We ignore the vast world of experience outside this narrow realm (Maclaran & Catterall, 2000). We are not alone in approaching society in this way. Other academic specialisms are quick to avoid topics that they deem taboo (Pullen, 2018). But like those currently pushing the boundaries in our sister disciplines, perhaps it is time to stop censoring, editing and cleansing our writing of practices that we find uncomfortable (Pullen, 2018).
This special issue is a call for more realism in marketing theory, practice and discussions of academic labour and performativity. Put slightly differently, we need to talk about the sexism, harassment, bullying, discrimination and othering found in marketing practice and academia; issues that have been largely marginalised as they ostensibly form part of the 'private' lives of individuals (Maclaran & Catterall, 2000). This has led us to avoid engaging with such important, yet disconcerting issues. They involve aspects of our physiology, sexuality and mental health that marketing – including critical marketing – has bypassed (Maclaran, Miller, Parsons & Surman, 2009). If we do not ask difficult questions about the sexism, bullying and discrimination that permeates the marketplace, that regularly confronts practitioners, consumers, academics and students (Baker & Kelan, 2018; Cantrell, 2018; Dizikes & Asimov, 2018; Elraz, 2018; Fischer, 2015; Greenberg, 2018; Houpalainen & Satama, 2018; Larsen, 2017; Martin, 2016; Martin, Woods & Dawkins, 2015; Mclaughlin, Uggen & Blackstone, 2017; Pullen, 2018; Robin, 2018), then our disciplinary outputs telegraph their irrelevance. Confronting these issues, rendering them visible, is the first step in overcoming them. As Maclaran, Miller, Parsons and Surman (2009, p. 724) remind us, 'it is the cloak of invisibility which allows the dominance of one group over another' (see also Elraz, 2018).
So, by realism, we simply mean that the discipline better connects with the experiences of those working in industry, academia, or affected – positively or negatively – by marketing writ large. After all, not all people are recognised as warranting respect and equal treatment by marketing organisations (Kenny, 2018; Maclaran, Stevens & Catterall, 1997), by the consumers they serve (Hamilton, Redman, & McMurray, 2017) or the institutional edifice of academia (Martin, 2016). Arguably, this has been compounded by the growth of nativism, racism and movements away from liberal views that have accompanied the rise of Trump and Brexit (Grey, 2018). Maclaran puts it well when she writes that 'A new sexism seems to be stalking us' (2015, p. 1736).
Possible research questions include:
- Exploring the experiences and reactions marketers (both practitioners and the marketing academy) have had and continue to have to the #MeToo, #TimesUp and similar socially driven movements?
- How have changing working practices in academia (e.g. precarious workers, short-term contracts, metrics-driven performance measures) impacted employees' health and wealth-being?
- How can marketing contribute to social, sexual and gender justice?
- How have practitioners noticed, exacerbated or reacted against the sexism, nativism, racism and discrimination witnessed in recent years? If not, why?
- Other subjects have signalled their recognition of harassment, bullying and othering based on sexuality, gender, race, religion and mental health, but what should we do about these and related issues in marketing?
- Furthermore, how can action and justice be enacted in marketing practice and academia?
Since the editors do not wish to be overly prescriptive beyond the broad topics outlined above, we encourage all submissions that deal with – in whatever way and form – issues related to those discussed in this call for papers. Thus, we encourage contributors to submit traditional academic papers, but also encourage other dissemination forms too – for example – essays, personal introspections, poems. Ultimately, we are looking for diversity in terms of content, methodology and the presentation of ideas. For the sake of orientation: topics may include those that deal with harassment, bullying and othering includes practices between employers and employees, students and staff, employee relations, along with staff and external stakeholder interactions to name just a few.*
An extended bibliography is provided at the end of this call to illustrate the range of topics the Editors had in mind when conceptualising this issue, although this is by no means an exhaustive list.
* Please note, the Special Issue is not a forum to air personal grievances or make accusations against specific individuals or institutions, and the Special Issue will not accept any such papers into the review process.

The seasons have changed and rains have taken their turns. The monsoons are here full-fledged. Protecting ourselves from getting wet is a must, as the season change comes with its own set of problems. It's the same case for our smartphones. Water could cause irreparable damage to your smartphone. Hence, it's essential to keep it protected the same way we protect ourselves from the monsoons.
Here are few tips to protect your smartphone during the monsoon.
- Plastic bags
One of the best things to protect your smartphone when you are traveling. Put your smartphone in a plastic bag whenever you are walking through the rains. Rains might be able to seep in through your clothes and bags, but not a plastic. And make sure the plastic does not have any holes either.
- Zip Pouch
Unfashionable? Yes, but does the rain care? No! It just pours down without any hesitation. So it's better you buy a zip pouch to carry your smartphone around. By doing this, you won't have the hassle of removing the smartphone in and out unlike a plastic. Most of these pouches come with a clear side allowing you to see the phone's display.
- Water proof covers
Yes, your phone can have this too. While looking for new covers, look for a water proof cover and buy it for your smartphone. It's helpful while also being fashionable and protective at the same time.
- Using wireless headphones
If you want to talk on your phone or listen to music, use wireless Bluetooth earphones and headphones. This will allow you to keep your phone inside your bag and protect your phone from the rains. iPhone users could use the air pods in this case.
- Check before charging
If your phone is wet, don't charge them immediately. Clear the moisture off your device or keep it in uncooked rice. This will absorb all the water and prevent your phone from getting fried.
- Moist free place
Keep it in moist free places in your house, office or any other place that you visit. With the monsoons, it's unpredictable when it will rain. Hence, keeping your smartphone moist free is very important for its safety.
- Keep a spare handy
Having a spare smartphone is a last resort. Life is as unpredictable as the rains. You don't want to take the risk of your phone falling in puddles during the monsoon or water seeping into the phone accidentally. As a precautionary measure, carry an extra phone with you during the monsoon.
Today, a majority of smartphones come into the market being touted as water proof, but it's not possible to buy a new smartphone whenever your phone is damaged. That is why it is better to take precautions than to regret it later. We hope you enjoy a safe and sound monsoon and hope along with you, your smartphone also remains in shape.

In the Beginning – Postscript
(Aidan, in the middle, is 8 months old here. Liam is on the right and cousin Maddy is on the left. I'm just now realizing that my sister had her first newborn baby right before Aidan was born.)
One month at home update written by me:
Well, Garreth and I have survived the last few weeks while Aidan has blossomed. We still wish for more sleep. We just today received a new monitor so we'll see if that helps. At least it has volume control. (His apnea monitor for his oxygen beeped ALL THE TIME for no reason, well, sometimes because he wasn't breathing like a champ, but nothing a little half asleep shake of the crib couldn't fix.)
Aidan saw the surgeon who literally pulled out the temporary G-tube and pushed in a more permanent one. It was gross but I'm glad I paid attention because I ended up doing the same procedure on the fourth of July. (Oh, that was funny. It's hard to remember that you can't walk across the room with your baby because he's plugged in. I called the doctor in a hushed voice so as not to alert Garreth to my less than brilliant move. Garreth's less than brilliant moves tended to consist of not quite getting the tube attached correctly so milk would spill out on the bed instead of into Aidan's tummy.) His tube came out and I had to put it back in with the surgeon talking me through it over the phone. It was really gross and not so comforting to see a hole in his stomach but now I know it's not a huge deal.
Then we saw the neurologist. Aidan was sleeping, which didn't help the exam but the neurologist said there was reason to be "cautiously optimist." We go back in 6 months. (I'm sure he also said something about seizures being a possibility but that sure didn't stick in my head, cuz, well, you know…no thank-you.)
Then we saw the geneticist who is just an incredible woman. Who really knows what geneticists do, but she knows everything. She said if Aidan didn't look exactly like his Daddy she'd say he was a different baby. Clearly he's improved by leaps and bounds since his time in the hospital. I asked her about the final mitochondrial studies and believe it or not, she was chasing them down that very morning. We got he final results while I was there and surprise surprise they were clear. Still one test floating around somewhere that they're expecting to be clear. The geneticist said some babies are born with a congenital form of hypontonia (low muscle tone which remains Aidan's diagnosis) that simply goes away. There's no test for it and you only realize what it is when it's gone. She said there's no reason to believe he won't eventually catch up with his peers.
Aidan is focusing and controlling his head movement much better. He now also averages 2 1/2 ounces by bottle 2x/day. That's really great. (This is actually huge because eating is such a complex task and tube fed kids don't get the same kind of practice or same taste stimulus that orally fed babies get.) We see Dr. S next week to talk about all his breathing issues. (which went away within a few months as Aidan got stronger)
We recently took our first family vacation to my Dad's house and packed the trunk with all kinds of medical supplies. I taught my Dad and sister how to tube feed Aidan. They learned all the quirks of the pump and did great. Liam is over the thrill of having a baby in the house. That's fine with me since he certainly doesn't resent his presence. Liam has the best ears in the house and can hear when Aidan's feed finishes and loves to turn the pump on and off. He's a good helper. Liam is going through the huge "no" phase, but he says it with such attitude. This child has been close to perfect for two years. Now he's making me pay when I have the least energy to deal with it. (That's so funny because looking back, he was really an easy toddler and has always been a remarkably compliant kid. I was just tired.) I at least can still enjoy snuggly book time with him and see how quickly he picks up on reading. We're looking forward to a visit from Garreth's brother soon, and hopefully an Irish cousin this fall and then his parents in the winter. My life will definitely be busy in the fall between visiting therapist and play groups. It's good to get out of the house.
*This is the story of Aidan's first few months. It starts here. My present day thoughts are in bold.

- "Unless you call off your troops right now, I will have no choice but to destroy you!"
- ―Whorm Loathsom, to Obi-Wan Kenobi
Whorm Loathsom was a male Kerkoiden[1] general for the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. He served during the Battle of Christophsis.[2] During the Battle of Christophsis, he was a close confidant to Asajj Ventress. Prior to joining the Separatists, Loathsom had a long history of military service to the planetary defense forces of Kerkoidia.[3] Later in the war, he was held as a prisoner at the Galactic Republic's Naval Intelligence complex on Coruscant.[4]
Behind the scenesEdit
Whorm Loathsom was voiced by Corey Burton in the 2008 Star Wars: The Clone Wars film. Burton also provided the voice of Count Dooku and Ziro Desilijic Tiure in the same film and later went to voice both Dooku and Ziro in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV series. The character of Loathsom was based on concept art for a Neimoidian baron trader that was drawn by illustrator and art director Doug Chiang during production for Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace.[5]
According to editor Dave Filoni and writer Henry Gilroy during an interview with TheForce.net, when they were asked if Whorm Loathsom was set to return in some episodes of the series, while both Gilroy and Filoni stated that there were plans to include Loathsom in the now non-canonical Star Wars: The Clone Wars comic book series which ultimately never materialized, they hinted that there was a possibility to bring back him in further seasons as well that the then-upcoming episode "The Hidden Enemy" was to feature Loathsom revealing the backstory of his plans with Asajj Ventress before The Clone Wars film. However, plans to bring back Loathsom were not fulfilled before the show's cancellation.[6]

French Lessons in Paris
The French language is regarded as one of the most romantic languages on earth. Not only this but taking French lessons in Paris can be extremely advantageous for many social and business endeavors. Moreover, in Paris, the City of Lights, it is the official language of the city.
Rich culture can be found all over France's capital, and inhabitants who are not proficient in French may encounter difficulties in navigating the city. With Rype, we know that learning a new language can be a daunting task. However, we are dedicated to making the experience as easy and enjoyable for you as possible.
Take a look at our success stories to gain a sense of what we do and how we do it. Signing up with us can mean learning to speak Le Français in record time!
Facts About French In The City Of Lights
- The population of the city is over 2.2 million people, most of whom speak the official language of French. The surrounding regions are home to over 10 million more French residents.
- 6 out of 7 inhabitants are first language speakers.
- While it is possible to get by in the city speaking English, it goes without saying that immersing yourself in the mother tongue of so many of its inhabitants is extremely beneficial.
- Millions of tourists visit Paris every year and as such, the city and its language are constantly booming. It is also the location of many businesses and other corporations.
Experience Le Français outside of the classroom in Paris
Once you are ready to take your French skills to the streets of Paris there are plenty of places that you can visit in order to practice and immerse yourself in the language and culture.
There are, of course, the prime tourist destinations of Paris such as the Louvre, Disneyland Paris, and the Eiffel Tower to explore. They are all great places to visit that are perfect examples of French tourism and artistry. However, actually living in the city means that you will likely be surrounded by the more day to day aspects of Parisian life. As such, it is a great idea to take your conversation skills to places that do not focus on English speaking tourists.
Finding these places is as easy as stepping out onto a typical Paris street. You can visit the Marché St.-Quentin, a market in the city that boasts a variety of ethnic eateries and gift shops. There is also Belville which is an artistic quarter that celebrates not only French but all cultures in the city.
One of the best places to visit for an authentic French experience in Paris is the neighborhood of La Butte aux Cailles. This neighborhood is largely untouched by the tourist culture of the city and holds traditional Parisian roots. Visiting the restaurants, shops, and art centers in this area is a great place to integrate yourself with French people in the city.

What Are the Limits?
Annual Deferral Limit
Each year, your total 401(k) contributions are subject to an annual maximum limit. These contributions do not include any employer contributions your employer chooses to make into your account. For 2020, the IRS limits 401(k) salary contributions to an $19,500 annual maximum.
Annual Additions Limit
The Annual Additions limit for overall contributions towards your 401(k) account is $57,000 in 2020.
This limit does not include rollover and catch-up contributions, but does include:
- Pre-tax and Roth employee contributions
- Employer matching and nonelective contributions
- Safe harbor employer contributions
- Forfeiture contributions
- Voluntary after-tax contributions
Catch-Up Contributions
If you are, or will turn, 50 years of age or older this year, you can also make catch-up contributions, up to an additional $6,500 annually.
This additional amount can be contributed regardless of any other limitations on the amount you can contribute to your 401(k). The maximum "catch‑up contribution" that you can make in 2020 is $6,500.
Annual Adjustments
The annual contribution limits may be adjusted annually by the IRS for cost‑of‑living adjustments. Guideline will make sure to notify you every year of the maximum amount you can contribute.
Monitoring Your Guideline Account
Guideline will monitor your total contributions throughout the year and notify you when you are close to reaching the annual contribution limit. By doing so, we hope to help you avoid exceeding your limits.
What Happens if I Exceed the Limits?
Excess Guideline Contributions
If your contributions to your Guideline 401(k) exceed the annual limit, Guideline will notify you. We'll first verify that any Pre-Guideline contributions are accurate. Any excess contributions will then be refunded, taking into account any gains or losses. Guideline will issue a 1099-R to you for the tax year in which the excess contributions were made. You will use the 1099-R to report your excess contributions and gains or losses for income tax purposes. Guideline will provide any refunds as soon as possible after an excess contribution is confirmed and issue 1099-R forms as quickly as possible following the end of the year.
Exceeding Contribution Limits in More Than One Plan
If you are contributing to more than one plan, such as other cash or deferred arrangements, tax‑sheltered 403(b) annuity contracts, simplified employee pensions, or other 401(k) plans, and your total 401(k) holdings exceed the annual limit, you will need to decide which plan you'd like to return the excess amount. If you would like your Guideline account to return the excess, you must notify us in writing no later than March 1st of the year after the excess contributions were made.
Highly Compensated Employee Refunds
If you are a highly compensated employee, generally more than 5% owners or individuals receiving wages in excess of certain amounts established by law, then part of your 401(k) contributions may be returned to you if your plan fails to meet certain nondiscrimination requirements. Guideline will notify you if and when a refund is required.
Plan to Max Out Your Yearly Contributions
At Guideline, we encourage you to contribute as much as possible to your 401(k) each and every year, up to the annual limit if you're able! We believe in smart retirement saving and want to make sure you're ready for your future. Decide now to make it your goal to reach, but not exceed, your annual contributions limits!

Cody Wilson set the law and the internet ablaze with 3D printable guns. His work essentially transformed general use fabrication tools, like BoXZY, into gun making factories.
Now, BoXZY is front and center in a battle being waged against Defense Distributed (Cody Wilson's company) because of its unique capabilities. The battle is to stop Defense Distributed from publishing files that allow users to make guns from the anonymity and comfort of their home. As CEO of BoXZY, I feel I must now weigh in on this important legal battle.
Cody Wilson essentially armed anyone who has access to a home CNC mill and/or 3D printer with pistols and assault weapons. There are no protections and no government gatekeepers, and the user can be mentally ill, a criminal, or an average person. Cody might as well of mailed firearms into everyone's home.
So how do I feel about this and where does BoXZY stand? Well, I wouldn't spend my life on an endeavor to arm anyone and everyone with an internet connection and a BoXZY with firearms. But, BoXZY and I stand for a free and open internet and this battle is not about guns. It's about free speech.
I believe that censorship is the quickest way to erode the foundations of a well-functioning democracy. We should not equip our government with the ability censor ideas that it deems dangerous. Censorship simply cannot be a role that we want our government to take.
No government should be able to censor ideas and information that it deems dangerous.
We're not China.
Pennsylvania's attorney general, Josh Shapiro, disagrees with me.
Legal Action Against Publishing 3D Printed Gun Files
Josh Shapiro tweeted the following on July 29th:
"Tonight, I went to court to prohibit access to new 3D-printable guns in PA. These downloadable firearms were just about to be widely
available online. It's an existential threat to our state & we stepped in to stop it. The site is – & will remain – dark throughout PA".
Josh Shapiro carefully crafted his tweet to mask the concepts of censorship. That is obvious in his effort. Try rewriting his article in different words without screaming government censorship.
Shapiro's tweet can easily be summarized both accurately and succinctly:
"Tonight, we went to court to censor the internet. The publication of this information is an existential threat to our state and we stepped in to stop it. We'll continue to censor throughout PA."
If the practice of free speech is an existential threat to a state, then the state is the problem—not the speech. Now, Shapiro and many other legislators expanded censorship beyond the state of Pennsylvania to federal proportions. A federal court issued a restraining order against Defense Distributed to suppress the information with federal law because of their efforts.
The Real Existential Threat
This censorship is the "existential threat" to our democracy. Shutting down DEFCAD is clearly and distinctly censorship of constitutionally protected speech.
The internet amplifies and multiplies freedom of speech. Information and freedom—they're both dangerous, and they equip people with a wider range of possibilities to be both good and bad actors. The newer the freedom and information, the more dangerous to health and safety it is. And, the magnitude and diversity of information online creates unprecedented and unpredictable dangers. No doubt. And, there are real human consequence when we don't confront these dangers.
However, DEFCAD and other similar sites make firearms very complex to regulate without creating more destructive outcomes than gun violence. Legislators are facing a world where the solutions have to be more complex than passing a law if they are to avoid compromising essential freedoms. That doesn't mean short-sighted legislators aren't going to try to keep it simple.
Legislators are facing a world where the solutions have to be more complex than passing a law if they are to avoid compromising essential freedoms
These Legislators are responding to new freedom, and its resulting danger, like someone threw a rattlesnake into a crib. To get the snake out of the crib, they're lighting their house on fire through censorship. We need a more subtle, sophisticated approach—than reflexive outrage, knee jerk legislation, and censorship.
Freedom of speech is a fatal place to be irresponsible and impulsive with your democracy.
Be Sensitive
American politics is rife with corruption and authoritarianism, right now. America is vulnerable. Now, maybe even more than at any other time in our nation, we need to be especially sensitive to threats to free speech. We should be touchy—oversensitive even—to those threats. And, any attempt by our government to censor anything should be met with a heavy presumption of wrongness and outrage.
I am not going to muddy the fight for free speech by sharing my, or BoXZY's, stance on gun ownership. This is a complex topic. It may be that gun ownership is as fundamental to maintaining true democracy as freedom of speech. I don't know yet, and I don't think it's an essential part of this discussion. But, I am sure that radical freedom of speech is essential to democracy.
Radical freedom of speech is essential to democracy.
I'll just say that BoXZY stands with you in whatever you want to share and make responsibly. BoXZY wasn't designed for making guns; it was designed to give you the freedom to make what you want to make.
Freedom means making whatever you want. Preserving freedom means sharing whatever you want. Keep making. Keep sharing. Keep the internet free and open.

Griezmann out of form, a shaky defence and on brink of Champions League exit: Atletico Madrid face troubling times
Two finals, a semi-final and quarter-final in the past four seasons in Europe's premium club competition, Atletico Madrid are in serious danger of a group stage elimination.
Atletico Madrid need a "miracle" to make it beyond the Uefa Champions League group stage after failing to beat Azerbaijani debutants Qarabag for the second time in two weeks.
Since the arrival of manager Diego Simeone six years ago, Atletico have been transformed into a European powerhouse.
They won the Europa League in the Argentine's first year and reached two Champions League finals, a semi-final and a quarter-final in the past four seasons.

Liverpool v Maribor: Sturridge needs to seize chance to establish himself in Klopp's side
Napoli v Manchester City: Aguero on cusp of landmark in a city where Maradona is still revered
What is going wrong at Real Madrid? Misfiring Ronaldo, lack of squad depth and fatigue
Simeone, though, was left hoping that "destiny" will favour his side, who need to beat Roma and Chelsea in their final two Group C games and hope Qarabag can do them a favour by adding another draw to their impressive first appearance in the group phase.
"I believe you get what you deserve," Simeone said. "We have to try to beat Roma and then destiny will decide if we deserve to continue or are eliminated."
"More than a miracle needed," read the front page of Madrid sports daily Marca alongside a picture of striker Antoine Griezmann with his head in his hands.
For years Atletico have punched above their weight. According to Deloitte's Football Money League, they had only the 12th highest income of clubs across Europe in 2016 of €228.6 million (Dh977m).
Yet, in Uefa's coefficient to judge European performance over the past five years they sit third - behind only cross-city rivals and perennial scourge in the Champions League, Real Madrid, and German champions Bayern Munich.
Atletico now face the cost of failure having just moved into their new 68,000 capacity Wanda Metropolitano home at a cost of €310m.
Despite a Fifa ban on registering new players until January, Atletico still spent over €90m on Diego Costa's return to the club and Spain international Vitolo in recent months.
Meanwhile, they also spent big in the summer on new long-term contracts for Simeone and key players like Griezmann, Koke and Saul Niguez.
Griezmann did the honourable thing by staying when Atletico lost their appeal against the transfer ban in June, but is unlikely to do so again should his €100m buyout clause be met by a host of interested suitors, including Manchester United and Barcelona.
The Frenchman has scored just three times this season and, while his poor form has played its part, it is trying to muddle through until the new year without Costa that has proved Atletico's downfall.
They have taken just three points from their four Champions League games, but had big chances to win all of them.
Playing against 10 men of Qarabag for the final half-hour on Tuesday, Atletico had the most attempts on goal of any side in the Champions League this season (32) for the reward of a solitary goal.
"If between now and January we continue with this run of results, the arrival of Diego Costa won't mean a thing," Atletico captain Gabi said.
Three years after his departure, Costa was bought back to recreate the spine of Atletico's 2013/14 Primera Liga title-winning side, but the other core elements of that team are starting to crumble.
Once dominant from set-pieces, Atletico again conceded from a corner against Qarabag, as they had in drawing 1-1 at home to Villarreal at the weekend. Indeed, seven of the 10 goals they have conceded this season have come from headers.
"Our calling card was to not concede goals and score the few chances we had. That has turned completely around," Gabi said.
After a very public falling out with his former manager Antonio Conte, Costa now faces the ignominy of playing in the Europa League after Christmas as Chelsea progress.
Something that even Gabi, a Europa League winner in 2012, is struggling to stomach.
"Right now I would say the Europa League is rubbish, even though it has given me a lot."
