Molina having standout year in Veracruz, ERA now at 1.41
Let's start this story with a proven fact: No matter where he's pitched, Nestor Molina has been a winner. Throw out a 6-12 season in 2012 while pitching for the White Sox organization, and the Venezuelan right-hander has posted a winning record every year since his pro baseball debut in 2007, with a career MiLB record of 60-28 in his eleventh summer. Along the way, Molina was a postseason All-Star in the Class A Florida State League after going 10-3 with a 2.58 ERA for the Blue Jays' Dunedin affiliate in 2011 (his first year as a starter) prior to being sent to the Pale Hose that winter in a swap of minor leaguers. He hasn't backed into that career .682 winning percentage either, registering a 3.13 ERA over 230 appearances, 92 of them starts.
Even with an impressive background like that, the 28-year-old Molina has dialed it up at least one notch this year pitching for the Veracruz Rojos del Aguila. Molina raised his 2017 Mexican League record to 10-1 after shutting out Tabasco over six innings last Saturday en route to a 3-2 Red Eagles victory in Villahermosa, limiting the Olmecas to four singles while striking out four batsmen. It marked Molina's tenth straight win after losing an April 8 home game to Leon despite a decent start in which he gave up two Bravos runs in six innings. Consistency has been a hallmark, with only one of 18 starts not being a "quality" outing when Molina let in four Durango runs on eleven hits in six frames during a May 11 no-decision. Every time out, he gives the Rojos del Aguila a chance to win.
Last weekend's win over Tabasco lowered Molina's earned-run average to 1.41 on the season, more than a full run better than Tijuana's Carlos Hernandez at 2.44. His ERA stood at 2.54 after that rocky start against Durango, but he has lowered it in each of his next nine starts over the past two months. In that stretch, Molina's ERA has been a microscopic 0.42 with with 47 strikeouts and 17 walks over 66 innings. Molina is second in the Mexican League in strikeouts with 90 whiffs in 121.1 innings, trailing only Monclova's Josh Lowey's 108 punchouts.
Although the Veracruz roster has past and present All-Stars like first baseman Balbino Fuenmayor and outfielder Luis Suarez, Molina is clearly the main reason the Red Eagles have passed the Quintana Roo Tigres into third place in the punchless LMB South with a 37-43 record. Although being six games under .500 is nothing to write home about, Veracruz might be battling to keep out of the division cellar if manager Eddy Castro couldn't send Molina to the mound every five games. Instead, they're positioning themselves for the playoffs after finishing sixth in the LMB South in 2016.
Veracruz is one of the Liga's oldest baseball cities. The Rojos del Aguila predate the Mexican League by more than two decades, making their debut in 1903. The team is the oldest in the circuit, with six LMB pennants since 1937 while such baseball greats as Hall of Famer Martin Dihigo (who led the Red Eagles to titles in 1937 and 1938), Santos Amaro, Roberto Ortiz, Al Pinkston, Pilo Gaspar, Ramon Arano and Miguel Fernandez have worn Veracruz jerseys. Jorge Pasquel, who briefly challenged the hegemony of Major League Baseball in the 1940's, was a Veracruzano. While it's unlikely anyone in the LMB South will challenge Yucatan in the postseason this year (although defending champion Puebla has shown some signs of life lately), Nestor Molina will likely carry the Rojos del Aguila on his back to their first playoff berth since 2013.
Things have heated up considerably in the North, where Tijuana loosened Monterrey's season-long grip on first place by sweeping the Sultanes at Estadio Monterrey in a midweek series last week before going into Monclova for a weekend series with the red-hot Acereros. Monclova won the first two games of the series to stretch their winning streak to ten games before the Toros took Sunday's closer, 1-0, as Monclova starter Miguel Pena combined with three relievers for a six-hit shutout. Corey Brown's fifth-inning double off hardluck Acereros starter Mauricio Lara drove in Isaac Rodriguez with the game's lone run as Pena's record rose to 8-2 while his ERA fell to 3.12. For their part, Monterrey dropped the first two games of their home series with Mexico City before bouncing back Sunday to blank the Diablos Rojos, 8-0. Angel Castro tossed seven innings of three-hit ball to go to 10-3 on the season and Ramon Rios cracked a fifth-inning grand slam off Diablos Rojos starter Efren Delgado in the Sultanes win.
The result of all this activity is that Tijuana maintains a tenuous half-game lead over Monterrey while Monclova has moved to three-and-a-half games back in third. The Aguascalientes Rieleros hold fourth place after winning their first eight games in July before dropping a 5-4 decision to Laguna at home Sunday. Puro Beisbol editor/columnist Fernando Ballesteros calls the Railroaders "dangerous" because they have more pitching depth than most LMB teams along with solid everyday players like MVP candidate Jesse Castillo, ageless All-Star Saul Soto, outfielder Dave Sappelt and newcomer third baseman Michael Wing, who's hit .441 with five homers in his first 20 games in Rieleros togs. Suffice to say, nobody wants to face this team in the playoffs.
With former Durango outfielder Yadir Drake and his .385 batting average gone to Japan, the Cuban (who'll barely qualify for the batting title) set the bar for the rest of the Liga's hitters to catch up to. At this point, Drake's lead in the batting race appears safe. His former Generales teammate, Daniel Mayora, has moved into a tie with Monterrey's Chris Roberson for second place on the table with .367 averages. Mayora missed a couple weeks with an injury shortly after his 35-game hitting streak ended, but he's gone 6-for-14 (.429) over three games since his July 6 return. Tijuana's Brown homered Thursday and Saturday to become the first LMB batsman to reach 20 homers for the season, two ahead of Monclova's Matt Clark and Raniel Rosario of Saltillo. Brown has also gone 12-of-14 on stolen base attempts and while his .292 average will hamper his MVP aspirations, the former Oklahoma State star has been a linchpin in the Toros lineup this summer. Yucatan first baseman Ricky Alvarez' 86 RBIs are 12 ahead of Monclova second sacker Manny Rodriguez' 72, while Acereros outfielder Justin Greene is running away with the stolen base title (couldn't resist) with 38 swipes, well ahead of Mexico City speedster Carlos Figueroa's 23.
As mentioned, Veracruz' Molina (10-1/1.41/90K) is on his way to a career year and should be considered the frontrunner for Pitcher of the Year honors by keeping an at-best mediocre Red Eagles team in the playoff hunt. However, there have been a number of top pitching efforts in the 2017 LMB season. Former Mets farmhand Octavio Acosta of Mexico City won at Monterrey, 8-1, Saturday for his Liga-leading eleventh win. The 11-1 Acosta has an ERA of 2.71 with 82 strikeouts in 99.1 innings pitched. Besides Molina, Monterrey's Castro, Yohan Flande of Aguascalientes and Yucatan ace Yoanner Negrin (2016's Pitcher of the Year) have all reached the 10-win threshold. Monclova's Lowey is well out in front of Molina in the strikeout derby by a 108-90 margin and Monterrey closer Wirfin Obispo has overtaken Durango's injured Tiago da Silva in the saves department. Obispo has preserved 22 Sultanes wins while da Silva had 20 saves for the Generales before going on the shelf following a two-inning stint at Tijuana on June 11.
Coming up in the Mexican League, it'll be a crossover week as all eight LMB North teams do battle with counterparts in the South. The most intriguing midweek series appears to be scheduled for Puebla, where the Pericos will host Aguascalientes in a matchup of teams positioning themselves for postseason runs. The best series next weekend is slated for Torreon, where Union Laguna welcomes Yucatan as both teams owned by the Arellano brothers clash. It'll be the first game back at Estadio Revolucion for Yucatan's Ricky Alvarez, who was traded to the Leones late last month, touching off a firestorm of criticism among Laguna fans and lower attendance at subsequent Vaqueros home games. The numbers may rise next weekend but a festive mood is unlikely.

Yellen pushes Biden economic plans in battleground Michigan
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen pressed the case for Democratic economic policies during a visit Thursday to Ford's Rouge electric vehicle assembly plant in Michigan, a battleground state in the November midterm elections.
After a production-line tour, Yellen promoted recent legislative successes for the Biden administration, saying: "After the progress we have made over the past few months, I am more optimistic about the course of our economy than I have been for quite a while and I know we are headed in the right direction."
Yellen's visit to Detroit was part of a monthlong tour as well as a larger White House campaign to highlight new laws intended to repair the economy, boost computer chip manufacturing, lower prescription drug prices, expand clean energy and revamp the country's infrastructure.
She pointed to the bipartisan infrastructure law, the CHIPS and Science Act and the " Inflation Reduction Act, " all passed and signed in the past year.
"By any traditional metric, we have experienced one of the quickest recoveries in our modern history," she said, referencing the financial damage and stagnation caused by the coronavirus pandemic that shuttered economic systems around the world. "Our plans worked" she added.
The Treasury Department is responsible for managing a new $7,500 electric vehicle tax credit for qualifying, but the auto industry is warning that the vast majority of EV purchases won't qualify for that much.
The European Union and other nations have threatened to file complaints at the World Trade Organization over the tax credit, claiming it would discriminate against foreign producers and break WTO rules.
Yellen has more stops planned and will give a speech next month at the 157th anniversary of the Freedman's Bank Forum to talk about how President Joe Biden's economic agenda "advances equity and makes our economy stronger as a result."
Biden is set to visit Ohio on Friday for the groundbreaking of an Intel semiconductor manufacturing facility and go to the Detroit auto show Wednesday to talk about manufacturing electric vehicles.
At the Ford electric vehicle assembly plant in Dearborn, Yellen pointed to U.S. vulnerability to global supply shocks caused by climate change and other factors, and the need to embrace green technology. Addressing those challenges, she said, offers the prospects of new jobs.
"This includes the U.S. clean vehicle sector, where we can expect greater investment — and more good jobs, like the ones here at Ford — as we develop the supply chain here at home," she said.

Every science has its beginnings in myth and folklore. Early dental practices, in particular, are deeply tied to the mysticism surrounding the teeth and tongue. Because the mouth is the center of speech and nourishment, diverse cultures treat dental events in their lives with respect.
There is a universal human belief that teeth confer power. These remedies and practices were intended to cultivate that power-by keeping teeth for a lifetime. The same spirit-much refined-motivates modern dentistry.
For relief, boil earthworms in oil and pour into the ear on the side where there is pain (Pliny, 77 AD).
Pour juice of onions by drops into the mouth, bite a piece of wood struck by lightning (ibid.).
Put tobacco in the armpit; hold a heated root of a birch on the cheek; or hold a small frog against the cheek or lick a toad's abdomen (Norwegian folklore).
Lay roasted parings of turnips, as hot as they may be, behind the ear; keep the feet in warm water, and rub them well with bran, just before bedtime (John Wesley, 1747).
"Round the tooth to be drawn, he fastened a strong piece of catgut; to its other end he affixed a bullet. Then he charged a pistol with this bullet and a full measure of powder. The firing performed a speedy and effectual removal of the offending tooth" (Dr. Monsey, 1788).
In the US and Europe, the blacksmith did extractions, presumably because they had the "proper tools."
"If one had a tooth extracted, it must be burned, because, if a dog got it and swallowed it, one would have a dog's tooth come in its place" (Dr. Holmes, 1862).
To clean the teeth, rub them with the ashes of burnt bread (Poor Will's Almanack, 1780).
To stable and steadfast the teeth, and to keep the gummes in good case, it shall be very good every day in the morning to wash well the mouth with red wine (London, 1598).
In parts of England, the superstition persists: one prevents a toothache by "clothing one's right leg prior to the left" (G.P. Foley, 1972).
To make the teeth of children grow hastily, take the brain of a hen and rub the gums therewith. It shall make them grow without any sorrow or diseases or aching (London, 1934).
Roast the brains of a rabbit and rub a small amount on the gums (US, 1942).
According to the American Cancer Society, about 30,000 new cases of mouth cancer are diagnosed annually in the U.S. About half of those who have oral cancer die within five years. Early detection can make a dramatic difference in treating the cancer at curable stages and reducing oral cancer deaths.
Early detection capabilities recently have been enhanced by a new computer-assisted mouth cancer screening tool. A nationwide study of 945 patients ranging in ages from 18 to 83 was conducted by dentists at 35 U.S. academic dental care sites.
Brush biopsy specimens were obtained from oral lesions as part of the extensive research, testing the accuracy of computer-assisted diagnostic equipment. The brush biopsy caused little or no bleeding and no anesthetic was required. The computer-assisted image analysis was used to identify suspicious cells in the samples.
The computer analysis properly identified every case of pre-cancerous and cancerous lesions as confirmed by lab tests from their traditional tissue evaluations. Additionally, it also correctly identified some lesions that were benign in appearance, but were actually found to be pre-cancerous or cancerous. Had it not been for this new diagnostic equipment, these lesions would have escaped detection and the patient would not have received any additional oral cancer testing.
"Early evaluation of oral pre-cancerous lesions can have a dramatic impact on oral cancer mortality rates," says Dr. James J. Sciubba, DMD, PhD, professor of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology at State University of New York at Stony Brook, who also serves as a spokesperson for the study. Early-stage mouth cancers are not easily detectable by visual inspection and may be overlooked.
The oral cancer scanner provides dentists a new evaluation tool that can lead to a significant reduction in cancer deaths. An estimated 8,100 people will die from mouth cancer this year. This new dentistry tool has shown remarkable merit as a reliable dental health device. By providing an accurate diagnosis, it has become a crucial weapon in the fight against oral cancer.

Data science breakthrough enables LTL shipment tracking, with 6x more accurate estimated arrival times.
CHICAGO — June 2, 2020 — FourKites®, the #1 real-time supply chain visibility platform, today introduced Dynamic ETA for LTL. For the first time, shippers, carriers and 3PLs can track less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments from pre-pickup to proof of delivery, with highly accurate, dynamic and automated estimated arrival times (ETAs). This unprecedented accuracy in LTL tracking means the supply chain can now take greater advantage of a more cost-effective mode of freight transport – improving customer service, lowering costs and expediting the shipment of essential freight in the process. Dynamic ETA for LTL includes automated PRO number generation and comprehensive document retrieval capabilities to streamline processing and keep supply chain partners more informed and aligned.
"The ability to proactively manage exceptions for LTL shipments means better planning, smoother operations and improved visibility for customers," said Dustin Braun, Senior Director – Logistics, Land O' Lakes. "Predicting accurate arrival times for LTL loads has always been one of the harder problems in supply chain. This is a genuine breakthrough in real-time visibility, and we are happy to have collaborated with FourKites to help make this innovation happen."
Until today, tracking LTL loads has been one of the industry's most intractable challenges, due to the inherent complexity of multiple terminal stops and widely variable transit times for LTL freight. FourKites is now solving this problem by using cutting-edge machine learning algorithms to analyze millions of LTL loads across more than three billion transit miles. In doing so, FourKites is able to generate a robust and accurate LTL ETA model that applies to all shippers in every geography. FourKites' LTL ETAs are six times more accurate than industry-standard ETAs, and confer multiple business and operational benefits:
In addition, FourKites now automatically generates and assigns a PRO number when LTL loads are created, providing greater visibility and eliminating time spent searching for PRO numbers and matching them to freight. Proof of delivery (POD) and other documentation is provided electronically and is accessible to all parties, saving time and reducing potential losses.
"The Dynamic ETA for LTL and automated document retrieval capabilities we are announcing today are transformational," said FourKites Chief Product Officer Priya Rajagopalan. "LTL shipments can be far more cost-effective for palletized products, but notoriously unpredictable arrival times are a real issue. Our new Dynamic ETA capability changes that overnight, and at an opportune time. Greater use of LTL shipments can help meet increasing demand for ecommerce orders, as well as move emergency goods faster to their destinations because shippers will no longer need to assemble full truckloads of goods before shipping."

Painter Performer Michael Raivard again spoke about him. It is in the United States that the glitter artist has occurred. For the first time, a European went overseas for a performance and the trip was worth it. In Dallas, Texas, the artist did no less than 24 portraits in four shows at the Best Consultant Awards ceremony for the world-renowned Mary Kay cosmetics brand.
Such a performance of speed painting had never been realized before and it is thanks to a team of committed professionals that the show delighted the 48,000 people present.
The spectacle of glitter painting was at the height of the event, dancers, singers, great and generous artists. All performed on the stage while the host listed the nominees to reveal the name of the winner at the same time Michael Raivard threw his spangles on the portrait showing the face of the queen. The atmosphere was completely crazy, the majority of the audience was female, applause and shouts of joy showed how successful the party was.
On behalf of Michael, thank you to the entire Mary Kay team and Saue, Dustin, Sarah, Haeidi, Siobhan, and Korey for your welcome and your intentions.
Thank you ladies:

"COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — American Electric Power Co. Inc. warned Thursday that it would have to shut down five plants and reduce operations at six others, at a cost of 600 jobs, to comply with new rules for coal-fired power plants proposed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Strict regulations being considered by the EPA to limit emissions of mercury, lead and other toxins from coal-fired plants could take effect in 3 1/2 years, a timeline AEP called "unrealistic." In order to meet the rules in time, the company said, it would have to close plants in Ohio, West Virginia and Virginia by the end of 2014 and retire generating units at plants in five states as soon as by the end of 2012."

UnrealIRCd (all versions) creates a PID file after dropping privileges to a non-root account. That may be exploitable by the non-root account to kill root processes, because any root script (for example a SysV-style init script) that tries to stop the daemon using the PID file will send a SIGTERM to its contents.
The purpose of the PID file is to hold the PID of the running daemon, so that later it can be stopped, restarted, or otherwise signalled (many daemons reload their configurations in response to a SIGHUP). To fulfill that purpose, the contents of the PID file need to be trustworthy. If the PID file is writable by a non-root user, then he can replace its contents with the PID of a root process. Afterwards, any attempt to signal the PID contained in the PID file will instead signal a root process chosen by the non-root user (a vulnerability).
This is commonly exploitable through init scripts that are run as root and which blindly trust the contents of their PID files.
There is only a risk of exploitation when some other user relies on the data in the PID file. An example of a problematic scenario involving an init script would be,
/etc/init.d/unrealircd start to start the daemon.
/etc/init.d/unrealircd stop to stop the daemon
while I investigate the weird behavior resulting from the hack.
The UnrealIRCd team provides limited support for SysV-style init scripts. The documented way to run the daemon is to start it either manually or through cron, as a restricted user. Afterwards, you can stop or reload the daemon as the same restricted user. This avoids the vulnerability because the reload/stop signals aren't sent as root; the PID file is controlled by the user who started and is signaling the daemon. These steps are documented on the following wiki pages:
Another possible workaround, if you are using a supervising init system, is to run unrealircd in the foreground, and let the init system manage its PID file. The -F flag can be passed to the daemon to run it in the foreground; the init system will then create and utilize the PID file safely. This is sufficient for systemd, OpenRC, and the like.

It's no secret that Princess Diana and Prince Charles' marriage wasn't a happy one. If you had any doubt, once you watch season 4 of The Crown, that will be gone.
The Princess of Wales (Emma Corrin) makes her debut on the Netflix series during the season premiere, meeting Prince Charles (Josh O'Conner) while he is visiting her older sister, Sarah. In the scene, a 16-year-old Diana is in a tree costume, which she wore for a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Throughout the first episode, which spans over three years, Charles told his father he was more interested in Camilla Parker-Bowles — but Prince Philip did not approve.
Over the course of the season, their relationship experiences intense turmoil, including multiple blowout fights about Parker-Bowles, who he later married. It also appears that the marriage was completely set up by Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, rather than out of the love in Charles' heart.
"I care about her. Morning, noon and night, I care about her. … Camilla is who I want. That is where my loyalties lie. That is who my priority is," he screams at Diana in the finale. "I refuse to be blamed any longer for this grotesque misalliance. I wash my hands of it. If you have a complaint about not being loved or appreciated in this marriage, I suggest you take it up with the people who arranged it."
The Crown writer and executive producer Peter Morgan previewed the fourth season ahead of its debut, opening up about the challenges.
"It's very hard to write the innocent start to a relationship when you know how tragically it ended and indeed how unhappy they were throughout it," he told TVLine.
Charles and Diana married in July 1981 and had two children, Prince William and Prince Harry. In 1992, the duo separated and four years later, they announced their divorce after both admitted to extramarital affairs. The following year, the princess died in a car crash in Paris.
In this season, Charles is "a man desperately trying to get out of this mess," O'Connor, 30, said about the arranged marriage. "These are two very lost souls … They both needed something they couldn't give each other, and it didn't work."
Scroll through the gallery below to see which moments in season 4 did — and didn't — happen in real life.

Yet another glorious February day and we went off to Chapel Porth where the car park was very full. We watched a surfer limbering up, a dog playing with a ball in the waves and the waves, the waves!
I was so pleased to catch this one of the unknown surfer jumping out of the water as part of his warm-up exercises then off into the surf.
This little dog had a brilliant time chasing and fetching the ball. I love this photo, just one foot on the floor and the reflection so clear.
The waves are always mesmerising – the sound, the feel of the spray, the running up-beach to escape the encroaching tide and the power.

Thinking Big
We are all so much more than what we believe we are. As the above quote says, we are a part of all those who have gone before us. We may not/do not always know how we have been influenced, but just know that we have been. Full stop.
I have always believed that I am a part of something much bigger. How do I know that: I don't know. It lead me to study Systems Counseling for my master's degree in counseling. And it leads me, with each client, to ask questions about their beginning. Even before they were conceived at times. Pre-birth. Womb experience. Birth. Early years. Tendencies in the family. Addictions. Behaviors to be noted.
ALL of it makes you, and me, who we are. And so how can this help? Well, sometimes we think it is just ME that has this problem. It is just me who is...._______(you can fill in the blank I am sure).
I believe it is important to understand that we are the product of all that came before and all of the 'before' is part of all the now. Helping clients see that and begin to 'own' what is true for them and what their 'other' story might be is important. Creating new stories is a part of therapy that heals and helps people change.
So if you are curious about what influenced you generations, perhaps, before your arrival. Or just now...call/text me. We can 'play' with what you learn, what you discard and what you keep: 360-432-1236

Hi friends so I have been tagged by Natalie over at her Disney Freak blog. The Golden Era of Disney films is considered 1937-1942 or basically 5 films- Snow White, Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo and Bambi. They are all true masterpieces and such bold artistic visions and I think they all hold up very well both animation and otherwise. As I love this era it was a pretty easy tag for me to do so here are my answers:
1.Are there films you haven't seen from this era? Nope seen them all! You can read my reviews of all of the films here: (These were the first reviews I ever wrote for the blog!)
2.What is your favorite film from the era? My favorite is Fantasia because it has the most variety and I love seeing the artists interpret the beautiful music. I honestly don't get it when people think it is boring- a new world, characters, story, music happens every 10 minutes or so!
3.What is your least favorite film of the era? Pinocchio. I didn't like it as a girl and while I appreciate it now it still isn't a favorite of mine. The animation is beautiful but as a morality tale it can be a little heavy handed and scary.
4.What is your favorite main character? I love Timothy Q Mouse. He sticks up for Dumbo and doesn't allow him to be bullied or made fun of by the elephants.
5.Who is your favorite villain? Night on Bald Mountain aside there really is only 1 villain in these films- the Evil Queen. She is great because she is queen. She has all the power and money but her vanity wants more. She must be fairest in the land and when she isn't she wants Snow White killed. That's pretty wicked! I also love the vocal performance and her design both as old lady and evil queen.
6.Who is your favorite sidekick? Well I already said Timothy Q Mouse so I will go with Dopey. He's so funny and sweet.
7.What is your favorite song of the era? When You Wish Upon a Star is about as good as it gets. It's a song about hope and daring to dream for greater things in life. That's what Disney does at its best is inspire hope and imagination. I would put Baby Mine as a close second.
8.What do you consider to be the most underrated film of the era? Dumbo because it gets a bum rap for being racist. I think the crows are a caricature but I personally don't find them that offensive. I think it is especially forgivable when the entire message of the movie is about accepting people (or elephants) that are different.
9.What is your favorite thing about this era? I'm just blown away by the artistry and how bold Walt was. It would have been so easy for him to pump out 5 more Snow Whites but he went for Pinocchio, Fantasia, and Bambi which are all artistic masterpieces and bold storytelling. Dumbo is the simpleton of the group and that's saying something because it is also bold in kind of a simple way. They are challenging in tone and themes and take multiple viewings to absorb. I love all 5 more each time I see them.
10.What is your least favorite thing about this era? My least favorite scene is when the boys get turned into donkeys; although, as an adult I find it more enjoyable. As a kid I was petrified of it! The scene where Dumbo and Timothy Q Mouse get drunk isn't my favorite either.
I haven't mentioned Bambi at all in this tag, which is a shame because I really do love it. It's so textured and beautiful to watch. I love how it doesn't have much plot but is just a baby deer growing up. It's sweet and simple and then sad when it needs to be. The scenes with the fire are stunningly animated and the way it uses music as a sound effect was groundbreaking. I was probably a little too tough on Bambi when I reviewed it. I definitely should have given it an A.

Brand : Jolly Rancher
Company : Hersheys
Brand Analysis Count : 554
Company : Hersheys
Brand Analysis Count : 554
Hershey has launched its iconic confectionery brand Jolly Rancher in India recently. This interesting because in the 65 year history of the brand, India is the first market outside North America where Jolly Rancher is launched.
Jolly Rancher has an iconic status in the North American market and is famous for the bold fruity flavors. In India, the brand has launched its lollipop products. The Jolly Rancher lollipops are available in three flavors - Mango, Green Apple and Water Melon.
Globally , Jolly Rancher is famous for its fruity flavors. Reports say that the brand has customized the flavors to suit the Indian palate. The brand is currently running the launch campaign featuring the actress Tamanna.
Although crowded, Indian confectionery market is growing at 18%. The launch of Jolly Rancher is a part of Hershey's strategy of building global brands. The company is planning to achieve $10 billion revenue by 2017.
According to an ET report in 2013 , the adult consumption of chocolate and candies is growing at a faster pace in India. Products like lollipop which lost it charm in early 2000 also has made a comeback.
Launching lollipops as the first product in India is an interesting move. Although lollipops contribute only 2% of the hard-boiled candy market, it is less crowded compared to candies. Hence the brand would be able to create some space and awareness for the brand. The company has priced the lollipop at Rs 5.
The question is whether Indian consumer will like the tangy fruity flavors. The answer to that question will determine the fate of this brand.

What's that? You want more Chinese vampire movies? Good news for you then – because from the looks of it's trailer, a new Chinese vampire flick called Rigor Mortis is about to be unleashed upon us! I'll admit, I kind of slept on this one, even after getting press releases for it. Then I watched the trailer and was VERY impressed, hence why it's high on my anticipation ladder.
Written, produced, and directed by Juno Mak – Rigor Mortis is a throwback and homage to 80's Chinese vampire movies and it honestly looks visually stunning. It centers around a public housing tower in Hong Kong where the tenants include zombies, ghosts, and vampires. Trifecta! But enough of my yammering about the plot, check the teaser trailer below to see what I'm gushing about:
Reviews are going to start coming in for Rigor Mortis soon as it's playing the Venice Film Festival and Toronto's Midnight Madness. Stay tuned for US distribution news and screenings!

by HOLLY JOHNSON // Aurelia Florian, the Romanian soprano brings "La Traviata" to Keller Auditorium November 2, 4, 8 and 10.
Aurelia Florian, 35, is the vibrant soprano from Romania who wowed San Francisco Opera critics last year with her Violetta. This season, she's repeating the role locally in Portland Opera's upcoming "La Traviata" running weekends Nov. 2, 4, 8 and 10 at the Keller Auditorium. Christopher Larkin conducts, and Elise Sandell stage directs this Verdi favorite in the traditional style, and it features one of opera's favorite heroines, a beautiful French courtesan living in a hedonistic world. She hides a broken heart and a mortal illness, all the while dealing with sexual politics.
For tickets and information, go here or call 503-241-1802.
How did you first get involved with music and eventually opera?
I grew up in Brasow in Transylvania, and attend the university there (Transylvania University Brasow). My mom studied music, my father played a couple of instruments, traditional music on a bamboo flute, for one thing. They wanted me to be a successful pianist. I studied piano for 12 years, but I wasn't satisfied because in piano competitions I always came in second or third, never the first. It was hard work, I'd sometimes study for eight hours a day. I hated it; I couldn't express myself with a strange instrument that wasn't part of me.
I discovered I loved singing but had too big a voice for the choir. My teacher advised me "You should go visit your canto (bel canto) teacher, and they will advise you what to do." I studied singing, and after two years I thought, "let's try a competition. " I started winning first prizes., and this was the thing that woke me up. I decided to go for it.
I studied voice for four years under Mariana Nicolesco in Romania, and joined the Bucharest National Opera House from 2008 to 2010. I met my husband (opera singer) Radu Pintilie there. He's from the Moldavian part of the country. In 2010 we moved to Italy where my mom was working. She supported us very much. We began to participate in competitions there; and I always won first prize! It gave me so much satisfaction. And I got so much family support.
What do you love must about opera?
It gives me the chance to live other lives
What opera styles do you prefer?
I prefer the traditional because it's more elegant. It gives me the opportunity to be more elegant. And I think we've forgotten how to be elegant, to wear nice clothes to have good manners. I was talking to our costumer Christine (Christine A. Richardson). She's designing dresses that were popular 100 years ago. They were so much more beautiful. She can put perfection into just one dress. It gives you goose bumps when you wear beautiful costumes! And a costume can help you become the character.
How do you feel about having a career in opera?
I find these days that everyone is singing everything. You're not sure you have a long career. I'm like this: I'll do my best in the next 15 years, because when I'm 50 I would like to stay at home, be very happy and retire. Because I know that the new generation of singers will be coming, and that they're going to be well-prepared. I would love to share my art with the new generation.

I've finally got a pair of wedge trainers! Actually, make that, I've got two pairs of wedge trainers! It's not that I've been slacking in getting in on this trend - it's just that I'd not found the right pair for me. Of course I wanted some long before now - what's not to love about casual footwear which promises you extra height without leg lengthening surgery? I am of course speaking as a fully certified titch. I think wedge trainers divide people - you tend to love them or hate them. They have that trompe l'oeil effect in that they are designed to trick the eye and elongate the leg. There's the argument that they look a little strange from the side but I've been subjected to so many images of them, I think they look normal now.
These aren't the first pairs I bought. No, no, no. Let's go through my wedge trainer history so far.
First there were the Aldo Netz trainers in February but I wasn't sure. They arrived. I didn't like the ankle strap which I thought was an unnecessary detail. I returned those. And then I decided that I did like them, ankle strap and all but they had sold out by then. Serves me and my indecisive nature right!
However ..... if you never see them again, it's because I probably took them all back ... again. I like them in my head but I'm not sure I like them in reality on me. But you've got to give me credit for trying haven't you? Just remember - never give up, never surrender!
* Aldo Grey & Black Anuka trainers available on ASOS at £60 currently. RRP is £80. On Aldo's website, the grey ones are now down to £41 but they don't have all sizes. Off you go!
** The Dorothy Perkins trainers are no longer available on line but it's worth checking in store if they have them in stock still.

Help Your Friend Celebrate Her New Baby's ArrivalThursday, December 17, 2015
If your friend just gave birth, you are probably over the moon for her and her partner. A healthy, happy new baby is the best present a family could wish for and something that should be celebrated. If you're a close friend of the new mom, the chances are that you want to get involved in helping her to celebrate.
You may have already arranged the baby shower, but that doesn't mean that you can't help the parents to mark the birth of their new addition. They may have already wet the baby's head with a glass or two of bubbly, but there are plenty of other ways that you can help them to celebrate. Get creative and think of unique ways that you can help them to celebrate. When it comes to marking the birth of a new baby, there are so many ways you can show that you care.
Of course, before you do that, it's important to take into account their culture and family traditions. Every family has their own traditions when it comes to new babies. So it's important to check that before you start planning ways to celebrate, that you won't be stepping on anyone's toes. The chances are, if you're a close friend of the new mom, you'll know how her family celebrates things. So there's no need to worry. However, it's worth mentioning. As just like when throwing a baby shower, there are certain rules of etiquette that should be followed.
For all our best ideas for helping your new mommy friend celebrate the birth of her baby keep reading.
Plan a get-together
A fantastic way to help your friend celebrate the birth of her new child is with a small get-together. That being said, new moms can get overwhelmed easily, so before you start planning, it might be a good idea to ask her what she thinks. The chances are that as long as it's not at her house - a new baby equals a messy house, she'll love the idea. However, it's always best to check, just in case she's not ready to see everyone just yet.
If she gives you the go ahead, get planning. Pick a venue that is close to the new mom's home, comfortable and suitable for her new arrival. Don't choose a public venue, somewhere quiet, like your home, for instance, is ideal. If you pick somewhere that has a spare room that the baby can be put down in if he or she becomes tired, you'll find that the new mom will be more relaxed.
Be choosy about how many people you invite. Aim to ask no more than ten people to the celebratory get-together, so as not to overwhelm the new mom or baby. This should be made up of all her closest friends and relatives, the people who she feels comfortable around. Keep the 'party' short and sweet, two to three hours will be more than enough for her and her baby.
Pick the perfect gift
Another way you can help your friend to celebrate the birth of her baby is by picking out the perfect gift. If the new parents have already got everything that they need for their little one, choosing a present to mark the new baby's arrival can be tricky. It might seem impossible, but if you think outside the box, there are plenty of gifts that could be perfect. To get some inspiration, go online and browse sites like Pinterest - there are always amazing gift ideas on here.
Personalized baby gifts always go down well. Instead of picking out a regular present, choose something that's personalized in some way. This could be a baby hat that has the new addition's initials on it, a towel with the baby's weight on, or a pair of booties with his or her name on. There's something special about personalized gifts, as the new parents know that it's been made especially for them.
Baby hampers always make lovely presents. If you can't think of one big present to get the new parents, how about making them up a baby hamper? The great thing about hamper gifts is that you can fill them with all sorts of lovely goodies. Pick out a couple of baby outfits, some little socks, booties, a teddy bear, and some wash stuff and pop it all in a basket. For the wash stuff, make sure to pick natural products that have been made for babies. Babies skin is super sensitive. So when it comes to beauty products, you have to be really careful about what you use on them.
Help the new mom and dad make memories
The first few weeks after a new baby is born, fly by for the parents, as they are just so busy. Parenthood is hard work, especially those first few precious weeks. With so much to do for their new addition, the chances are that the parents won't get a chance to make any memories together. Making sure that the new parents get the chance to make memories with their little one could be the perfect way to help them celebrate.
A fantastic way to help new parents make memories is by booking them in for a newborn photo shoot. While moms and dads can take pictures of their new addition themselves, the quality of the pictures are never as good as those done by a professional. If the new mom has other kids as well, make sure to include them in the photoshoot, as else they'll feel left out. You can get some amazing deals on newborn and family photoshoots if you buy online, so make sure to shop around for a good price.
Another way that you can help the new mom make memories is by having a memory necklace made for her. These are perfect for helping the new parents to remember those first few precious weeks with their little one. You can have a necklace that's stamped with the baby's birth date, weight, and name. Or, if the new mom already has other little ones, you could get her a family tree necklace that has a bead for each of her children.
Spoil her
Having a new baby might be the most wonderful experience, but the chances are the new mom is exhausted. After nine months of being pregnant and giving birth, surely she deserves a treat of her own? Help your friend celebrate the birth of her baby by spoiling her rotten.
If she's happy to leave her little one at home, book the two of you in for a relaxing spa day. After giving birth, she'll be in need of a pamper, and for that, a spa day is perfect. Look for deals online, and book the two of you into a local spa for a day of pampering. To make it extra special, choose a package that includes lunch or afternoon tea.
If she's not quite ready to leave her little one yet, why not book her into a mom and baby spa instead? That way she can have a pamper but won't need to worry about leaving her little one at home. If you have a look online, you should be able to find plenty of mom and baby spas to choose from.
Treat her to lunch. Leave the little one with dad and treat your friend to a slap-up lunch at her favorite eatery. She probably won't have been able to eat without having to hold a baby in one hand for a while, so will be excited to go out and have a break. If she's up to it, perhaps you could also do a spot of shopping while you're out?
Organize a girl's night in. She may not want to leave her little one for too long just yet, so instead of going for a night out, have a girl's night in. Get all the girls together, and organize a girly night in for the new mom to enjoy. If she's not up for going to someone else's house, ask to hold it at hers instead. [Tell her that you'll help her tidy up beforehand.] Buy popcorn, rent girly movies, drink non-alcoholic wine, and have a laugh together. Many new moms get a little lonely, so she'll appreciate having a bit of company.
There are plenty of ways that you can help the new mom mark the birth of her child, from throwing a party to buying her a gift. How you chose to help her celebrate is up to you, just make sure to take her feelings into account when arranging things.

15 Oct Dealing with Child Abandonment in California
Child neglect has been on the minds of California lawmakers for a long time. From 1987-1995 there was a 27% increase in child abuse/neglect cases. In 1994 alone, the state dealt with 664,000 child abuse/neglect cases, with 90,000 children becoming involved in the state's foster program. No one was happy about the situation.
In California, child abandonment laws and child neglect laws are tangled up together. Issues that are covered in the state's child neglect/abuse laws include:
✦ Emotional Abuse
✦ Exploitation of minors
✦ General Neglect
✦ Physical Abuse
✦ Severe Neglect
✦ Sexual Abuse
The state's child abuse and child neglect laws were put in place specifically to make it possible for the state to criminalize the actions of any parent they feel isn't properly caring for their child. The goal was to make parents understand that they would be held accountable for their actions.
The state has the right to press child abuse or neglect charges against any parent that is withholding:
✦ Food
✦ Medical Care
✦ Shelter
✦ Basic remedial care that all children require
What About When Income is an Issue
According to California's Penal Code 270 which deal with child neglect, being found guilty of child neglect requires: "Proof of abandonment or desertion of a child by such parent, or the omission by such parent to furnish necessary food, clothing, shelter or medical attendance or other remedial care for his or her child is prima facie evidence that such abandonment or desertion or omission to furnish necessary food, clothing, shelter or medical attendance or other remedial care is willful and without lawful excuse."-Source
There's no getting around the fact that income plays a huge role in a parent's ability to care for their child. State lawmakers understand that as does the court system. When a prosecutor of reviewing a child abuse/neglect case they look at the parent's financial status and determine if the parent did their best to provide their child with care given their budget. They will also look to see if the parent made an effort to take advantage of state-funded programs that are designed to help people who live below the poverty level care for their children by providing basic food, hygiene, and medical staples.
There is a section of PC 270, that addresses the issue of income and child neglect cases. "The court, in determining the ability of the parent to support his or her child, shall consider all income, including social insurance benefits and gifts."
When dealing with a child abuse/neglect case, the court's primary goal is to make sure the parents did everything in their power to care for their child and to provide the child with a loving and nurturing home.
What Happens if You're Found Guilty of Child Neglect
If you're found guilty of child neglect in California the judge can sentence you to a full year in jail. This will likely be followed by a probation period. The court also has the right to issues fines that can't exceed $2,000. It is also possible that you'll lose custody of your child.

With expansive city parks, flourishing food and culture scenes, and nature on its doorstep, Vancouver offers visitors plenty of things to see and do. If you've got just two days to explore this West Coast metropolis, here's how to spend your time.
Spend the morning getting acquainted with the city's downtown core and its high concentration of must-see sights, from Canada Place to shop-lined Robson Street to Victorian-era Gastown. Guided coach tours get you to top sights quickly. Alternatively, enjoy the flexibility of a self-made itinerary with a hop-on hop-off bus tour.
Though you may have glimpsed Stanley Park during your morning sightseeing, this 998-acre (404-hectare) behemoth warrants more than a quick look. Stroll or bike along waterfront and wooded trails, or take a horse-drawn carriage tour. While here, pop into Vancouver Aquarium, with more than 50,000 marine creatures.
Stake out a spot on Sunset Beach or Kits Beach to watch the sun set against a scenic backdrop. For a different view, take a sunset kayaking tour from Granville Island, or a sunset cruise out on English Bay and Howe Sound.
Vancouver's culinary scene is worth exploring. Start at Granville Island Public Market, sampling straight-from-the-soil vegetables, local wines, homemade breads, charcuterie, and cheeses. For an in-depth exploration of Vancouver's Asian dining scene—which many consider to be the best in North America—join a tour of Chinatown.
Vancouverites have easy access to the incredible landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, with snow-capped forest-carpeted mountains just a short hop across the harbor. Take an afternoon tour of the North Shore to view two of the most convenient beauty sites: Capilano Suspension Bridge Park and Grouse Mountain.
Back in the city, it's time to sample the city's craft beer scene. There are plenty of boutique breweries and brewpubs in East Vancouver, Gastown, and Brewery Creek. Since you only have one night, join a tour and have a local craft beer aficionado show you the best beer-drinking spots.

ECB Review of Banks: Outcome of Exercises Should be Credible, says Moody's
The ongoing comprehensive assessment of eurozone banks by the European Central Bank will be fruitful only if the outcome of the computation exercises is credible, Moody's Investors Services has said.
The rating agency also said that the two-week deadline the ECB has given the banks to submit their capital plans is a tough one.
The ECB had earlier disclosed the template that it will use in October to publish the results of its comprehensive assessment of the largest eurozone banks.
The bank also announced that in August it would publish the methodology of how the two parts of the comprehensive assessment, the asset quality review and stress test will be combined.
"Notwithstanding the quality of the process and the technical limitations of the exercise, the assessment will bear fruit only if the outcome of the exercise is considered credible," said Alain Laurin, associate managing director of Moody's Investors Service, in a note.
"Significant capital shortfalls and/or a significant number of banks not passing the test will be the criteria against which the assessment's credibility will be measured," Laurin said.
The ECB's review of 128 banks' balance sheets is considered to be a prelude to the central bank becoming financial supervisor for the eurozone in November.
The reporting template and the methodology fulfil the ECB's commitment to transparency by providing investors with detailed information on the process, methodologies and outcomes of its comprehensive assessment, Moody's noted.
The template for the comprehensive assessment's results will provide granular information on key parameters, but the data to be published in October are not overly detailed, which will make it easier for the ECB to get its main messages across and for investors to digest it, the rating agency said.
The ECB assessment will be based on a definition of non-performing loan exposures, which is not identical across banks and jurisdictions. Also, banks' forbearance might not be fully reflected in non-performing loan exposures, but the comparability of results should not be overly harmed, according to the Moody's note.
Referring to the deadline the ECB has given banks to submit their capital plans, Moody's said it is at odds with the central bank's communication of the outcome to the banks.
"It (the two-week deadline) means that banks at risk of failing the comprehensive assessment will not wait until the publication of results to work out a credible plan, which seems a bit at odds with the communication of the outcome to the failed banks, particularly if the capital shortfall is large."
Credit Impact
The ECB decision that the resolution (under the Banking Recovery and Resolution Directive) will not be triggered if public support is needed even though the injection of public funds will be subject to European Union state aid rules is credit positive for senior creditors because it will not activate the bail-in framework, Moody's said.

The former CEO of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC) Sedina Tamakloe Attionu, has been granted a ¢5 million bail with two sureties by an Accra High Court.
She pleaded not guilty to all the counts of stealing and causing financial loss to the state, causing loss to public property, improper payment of public funds, unauthorized commitment resulting in a financial obligation for the government and contravention of the public procurement act.
She was charged together with former Operations Manager of the Centre, Daniel Axim, who was granted a ¢1 million bail with one surety.
According to the charge sheet, the two agreed to come together and willfully causing financial loss to the state, contrary to sections 23(1) and 179A(3)(a) of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29).
The two were put before the court on Monday, February 4, where the former CEOs lawyers argued that she deserves bail because she has always honoured invitations and fully cooperated with investigations.
Both are to deposit their passports with the court.
The CEO has been ordered to file her defence in 10 days after the State gives them its documents on Tuesday.
The case has been adjourned to March 4.
In 2017 the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) conducted investigations into certain fraudulent disbursement of MASLOC funds involving the 1st and 2nd accused persons.
Investigations revealed that in June 2014, MASLOC invested a sum of GH¢150,000 in Obaatanpa Micro-Finance Company Limited (Obaatanpa), a licenced Tier II microfinance company located at Ejura in the Ashanti Region. Thereafter, the 1st accused person offered Obaatanpa a further investment sum of GH¢500,000. As a result, a MASLOC Agricultural Development Bank (adb) cheque dated 24th July 2014 in the sum of GH¢500,000 was drawn in favour of Obaatanpa.
Soon after Obaatanpa received the MASLOC cheque, the 1st accused person informed the Board Chairman of Obaatanpa that the investment amount of GH¢500,000 would attract 24% interest. Obaatanpa decided to return the amount to MASLOC since the interest rate being demanded by the accused person was too high and unprofitable for its business and issued a cheque in a refund of the loan amount.
Upon presentation of the cheque, the 1st accused person declined to accept the cheque and made a demand for a cash refund. A cash amount of GH¢500,000 was delivered to the 1st accused person by the Board Chairman of Obaatanpa on the night of 28th August 2014 at the Baatsona Total Filling Station located on the Spintex Road in Accra. By a letter dated 28th August 2014, the 1st accused person acknowledged receipt of the refunded sum.
In 2015, per letters some of which were under the hand of the accused person, MASLOC made demands on Obaatanpa for the payment of interest on the principal investment sum of GH¢500,000. In response to the demands, Obaatanpa wrote a reminder to MASLOC concerning the payment of the loan amount and drew the 1st accused person's attention to the unjustified demands whereupon the demands stopped.
In 2017, upon the assumption of office of a new Chief Executive of MASLOC a demand notice was again sent to Obaatanpa for the payment of accrued interest on the same investment sum of GH¢500,000 whereupon Obaatanpa once again informed MASLOC that the money had already been refunded since 2014. Investigations subsequently showed that MASLOC had no record of the amount having been paid to it and that the 1st accused person had appropriated the amount of GH¢500,000.

When it comes to packaging, corrugated boxes are turning out to be the most coveted in the times of COVID-19. Due to features such as safety and recyclability, the demand of corrugated packaging is increasing and is expected to grow further in the near future.
BillerudKorsnäs- The Swedish pulp and paper manufacturer has launched a high strength white top kraftliner for the corrugated industry. According to the company, the new products boasts performance combined with high strength, good printability and packaging material reduction through its 3-ply construction with optimized fiber properties. It is produced by the company's modern KM7 board machine.
In addition to that, the top ply contains well distributed short white fibers optimised for printability; the bottom ply has unbleached long fibers for strength; and the middle ply is used to create bulk in order to maximize stiffness and minimise washboarding.

Dean Olin (pictured above, at left, with some of the members of UA's May 2018 faculty team who visited Thessaloniki for a week of collaborative work) again invited proposals from faculty in the College of Arts & Sciences who are interested in bringing an Aristotle University colleague to Tuscaloosa in either Spring or Summer 2019, to further a collaborative project.
Like 2016-17, when a group of UA faculty brought AUTh collaborators to Tuscaloosa in the Spring/Summer 2017 semesters, this call was for sponsoring visitors from Greece who are working with A&S faculty on either ongoing or new collaborative projects. That means that previous participants in the AL/Greece initiative, as well as A&S faculty who have not yet participated, were able to submit proposals through the online system.
Online applications were due by the end of the business day
on Monday, November 5, 2018.
Applicants will be notified later in the Fall 2018 semester concerning those selected to participate in the 2019 phase of the Initiative.

Painted suitcase!
Before I started painting on canvas I did flower paintings on watering cans, and small furniture pieces. I got this suitcase 20 years ago for $1.50 at the thrift store. I knew it would make a perfect surface for painting with ordinary craft paints. I needed something to hold my garden catalogs. This was when I spent a lot of time in the garden. I loved planting seeds and seeing what appeared 4-5 months later!

Finishing a project I started in 2005!!!!!!!!!
Uncle Paul had these 2 books.
1907 published
1907 published
I was just starting out with Yahoo groups and joined my first, Decoupage with Durwin Rice. I learned so much with this group about cut, paste, finish. One of the ladies in the group had pre cut ready to finish placemats. They were the perfect size for the pictures in the book. I thought it wood be fun to do a set of 8 using some of my favorite illustrations(mostly of dining) . Well, I finished 3! It is very labor intensive to get it put on nicely and then I have to add at least 10 coats of varnish so they are stain resistant.
I am cleaning out the drawers in the dining room and found them. So, I promised my self to finish this project! Copies have been made of the originals and all I have to do is size them, cut, decoupage and varnish.
