Cornea Bank Set for Memphis
By Jane Roberts
– The Commercial Appeal –
Memphis will have the largest concentration of corneas and other eye tissue for transplant and research in the world after Tissue Banks International builds a $3 million eye bank here. The facility will centralize cornea screening and shipping and shorten transplant waits in the Mid-South.
The Baltimore-based organization will eventually ship 10,000 corneas and other tissues a year from here, according to Kathleen Terlizzese, Tissue Banks International president.
"We picked Memphis for its proximity to FedEx and all the wonderful things going on there in the biotech industry."
With a $500,000 grant from the Plough Foundation announced Monday, the organization has leased 8,000 square feet at Mt. Moriah and Interstate 240 and is preparing to start its around-the-clock operation this fall.
The grant addresses a number of important issues, said Rick Masson, the Plough Foundation's executive director.
"No.1, it speaks to the human need in this community by reducing the wait for people needing products the eye bank will provide.
"It will also improve the reliability of tissues available to surgeons around the world," he said.
Tissue Bank International has 42 offices around the world, including 33 in the United States.
Because of stricter Federal Drug Administration oversight of tissue banks, the organization decided it would be more efficient to combine cornea processing operations.
"One location ensures a more uniform standard of quality, gives us better operating efficiencies because we are working on a larger scale and allows us to make more tissues and medical information available for eye research," Terlizzese said.
Corneas not suitable for transplant will be offered to researchers to find cures for blindness.
The cornea is a clear piece of tissue covering the front of the eye. Blindness can occur if it is damaged by disease or trauma.
In the United States, the cornea transplant success rate – one of the most common transplants in the world – surpasses 90 percent.
Tissue Bank International plans to hire about 20 people and hopes to recruit from the Southern College of Optometry.
"This is cutting-edge technology that will be located here, complementing the effort the city is making in bioworks," Masson said.
The connection is critical, according to Steve Bares, president and executive director of the Memphis Bioworks Foundation.
Between the college of optometry and the University of Tennessee Hamilton Eye Institute, Memphis offers "clinical, teaching and research and facilities, all within the medical district," Bares said.
"(Tissue Bank International) has to keep on the leading edge of what is going on in eye surgery. Between the two, they can do that," said Bares, a member of the team that courted the organization.
"Word is getting out about Memphis and biotechnology."

Wow, you've published your book! Let's make a plan to sell it.
Right now, writing a book marketing plan may look like a GIGANTIC undertaking and you have no idea what to do.
Or, maybe you do know and you're dreading the process.
Maybe you're thinking: "I have to get hard-core salesey and strongarm my friends to buy my book. Then I have to make the local bookstore carry it." Ugh. Who wants to do that?
But what if you could find the ideal readers who want to read a book like yours? You won't have to hard-sell anybody. Your ideal readers would welcome a chance to read your book.
And what if you marketed your book by connecting with your ideal readers and had conversations, none that involve bugging people to buy your book. That would be kind of cool, wouldn't it?
Does this make marketing your book a little less daunting?
A book marketing plan helps you define your ideal reader and how to reach them. Then you promote your book and your topic just to them. "But, why don't people just buy it? It's on Amazon." Without promotion, nobody will know your book is there. Amazon has millions of books for sale. It's up to you, the author, to make it stand out.
Here are the steps we use to create a marketing plan for your book:
First, we define your objectives for publishing. Is publishing a book a one-time item to check off your bucket list? Or are you planning to publish a series or want to publish a book to enhance your consulting business? Your objectives for publishing will help you determine how much time, money and effort you'll devote to marketing your book. Next, we define who your audience is. The more defined your market is, the easier it is to market your book. Then we create a strategy to reach that market and activities to carry out that strategy.
No strong arm tactics needed.
Contact me today to schedule a free, 30-minute consultation. We'll talk about what you want to accomplish for your book and how I can help you achieve that goal. Let's sell some books!

4 Reasons Why You Don't Pursue Your Dream (and What to Do About Them)
by Linda-Ann Stewart
Rhoda had always wanted to go to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower, the art in the Louvre and the palaces. It was one of the major things on her bucket list. However, she never took any steps to make it come true and it was a longing that she never satisfied. She was content for it to remain a dream and it unfortunately remained an unrealized goal.
Do you have an important dream that you want to achieve? It could be to quit smoking, lose weight, learn to play the guitar, run a 10K, or build a business. Daydreaming about it and not taking any action won't bring it into reality. Fantasizing may be fulfilling in the moment, but it will leave you feeling empty when it isn't achieved. Unless you take action, you won't trigger the Law of Attraction to work on your behalf.
There are many reasons why you may procrastinate and not pursue your dreams. Here are some of the main ones, and what you can do about them.
1. Your dream takes you out of your comfort zone. Your goal means that so much in your life would change that you're afraid to get started. If you make these massive shifts too quickly, it would upset your world and you'd probably sabotage your own efforts. For instance, almost 70% of lottery winners go broke within a few years of winning. The windfall takes them too far out of what they're used to.
To overcome this obstacle, establish a long range plan. Create steps that are comfortable for you to take. For instance, if you want to start eating better, don't overhaul your diet in a week. Start by including more salads. When that gets familiar, eliminate sugar. Work on one piece at a time until you feel comfortable with it, and then add the next step. By taking action, you instruct the Law of Attraction to draw information and opportunities to you.
2. You're stuck in planning mode. Planning feels like you're making progress, but it simply delays taking action. I knew an artist who bought brushes, canvas, and paints, but never used them. Gathering the tools triggered the pleasure circuits in her brain. By not painting, she avoided the anxiety of facing a blank canvas. So she got her reward by simply thinking about what she'd do one day.
Preparation is an important part of any goal. But beware of staying in this place too long or you'll never realize your dream. Pull together a list of things you need, such as tools, knowledge, skills and tasks to complete. Then begin to follow through on them. As you mark the elements off your to-do list, you'll get a sense of satisfaction. And the Universe will support you by creating synchronicities that help you.
3. Your dream is not immediate enough. The fulfillment of your dream is too far in the future or too overwhelming. For instance, if you want to lose 50 pounds, you could feel like it's too difficult. You know it's going to take a significant shift in your behaviors and you won't see the final result quickly. So you procrastinate on taking action.
You have to fight through inertia to get started. To combat this, instead of focusing on the 50 pounds, take it in 5 pound increments. You can handle losing 5 pounds. When you set that as your goal, you'll get that sense of fulfillment, and a job well done, when you see the outcome. With any long range goal, create mini-goals that you can accomplish each week. The brain likes to complete things, and bestows a sense of gratification when you do. And the Universe creates new channels for the Law of Attraction to bring benefits into your life.
4. You don't have enough motivation. The benefits of your dream aren't strong or clear enough for you to pursue. For instance, you may want to be healthier and fitter, but your desire isn't powerful enough for you to change your habits or your routine. So you just keep putting it off.
You can build your enthusiasm for your dream by surrounding yourself with things concerning it. If you want to create, spend time in an art store, a museum, gallery or take a class. To start an exercise program, read articles and books about the benefits you'll achieve. Immerse yourself in the reasons why you want your goal. The energy will grow until you get started.
When you take action, it tells the Universe that you're serious and ready to move forward. And the Law of Attraction then begins to draw to you what you need for success.
The solution to each one of these reasons is to start working towards your dream. It doesn't matter how small the step, as long as you're moving toward your dream. The brain likes to accomplish things. And achieving small goals is every bit as satisfying to the brain as big goals. Don't procrastinate any longer. The sooner you begin to work toward your dream, the sooner you'll reap the joy of the results.
I know I can have what I desire through the Power of my Higher Mind. The Universe wants the best for me, and will support my endeavors to create an improvement in my life. As I take the actions necessary to fulfill my dream, I create the channels through which more good flows to me. The Universe rewards my actions with positive and beneficial results.

Believe it or not, people still use MIDI. That said, wouldn't it be cool if you could connect your MIDI keyboards and drum machines to your iPad so you can add some serious breaks to your latest musical production? With the PUC, an Indiegogo project from the creators of portable guitar called the Jamstik, now you can.
Zivix makes wireless instruments for the information age, and this is their latest creation. The PUC connects 5-pin DIN-based devices to WiFi and is powered by two AA batteries or micro USB. It is about as big as a real hockey puck and is IN/OUT switchable. Any CoreMIDI over WiFi compatible app will work with the PUC.
Why is this cool? Well, it makes almost every older (and newer) MIDI device iOS-compatible. It also makes it a bit easier to do cool onstage and in-studio stuff with instrument placement.
The company will build the first PUCs in the U.S., an interesting choice that should speed up development of the product. They are looking for a total of $50,000 and have just passed $5,000 in pledges. They are offering a special Disrupt price of $69 right now, about $30 off the final MSRP.
While the PUC may not make you a red-hot studio musician overnight it's nice to know that someone out there is still thinking of the MIDI-heads.

Far East Connect Joins Huntington PrepCrossover Exposure
Huntington, WV
Huntington Prep Academy has announced the acquisition of two Japanese players from Osaka, Japan to join their expanded program for the 2016-17 season. Rintaro Kaida and Kota Akama, both rising 10th graders, will have the opportunity to play with the Irish and have both expressed excitement for the future. Rintaro Kaida, known throughout the youth circuit in Japan, was an All Japan U14 member and highly recruited guard. At 6'1, Kaida has transitioned to the PG position, although he played the positions 1-4 in Japan. "If Rintaro can become effective as a point guard, he has tons of upside, considering his athleticism, shooting ability and overall instincts," noted International Director Jerone Dodd Jr. Kota Akama made his debut in the states by joining the Brandon Hall Panthers for the 2015-16 season, where he started and helped his team reach the GISA State Tournament for the first time. "Kota is a very quick, shifty and tough guard. He's not afraid to push the ball and go inside. He has a great heart and we are expecting good things from him as well," Dodd added.
Both players visited the US prior to committing to go to school there and had the chance to train with BBall 101's Dorian Lee, a world renown trainer in the Atlanta area. "It's always good to work with Japanese talents because they usually tend to be very receptive to the training and instruction that goes along with it. Kota has all the tools needed in terms of ball handling to excel as a smaller point guard, so we focused mainly on the little things like creating enough space for shots and being able to break down the defender in front of him. I told Rintaro that he has the potential with the right training to be a top level guard. He is savvy and very aggressive, so I think he just needs to hone these attributes when learning the intangibles of playing the point guard position."
Huntington Prep Academy has made an effort to recruit more international talent to its already bolstering program and have expanded their coaching staff by bringing in former alum Herve Aholode to lead the second team. Coach Aholode offered, "So far, I have been very impressed with both of our Japanese players. They work extremely hard and are nice guys in general. They will be a good example to the rest of the team of what a student athlete should be like. I am looking forward to seeing them in more game type situations soon."

Hitler, Castro and Saddam Hussein meet in a bar. It may sound like the beginning of a joke, but in the Palestinian territories it is actually possible.
Palestinians often name their children after famous celebrities, national heroes or backers of their cause.
Hitler Abu Hamad is not proud to carry the name of a man responsible for the slaughter of millions.
"There is no relationship between my name and the actions of Adolf Hitler," he told AFP at his home in the city of Hebron in the occupied West Bank. "I hate what he did."
"I am against killing, violence and human rights abuses, but I got used to my name and it is part of my character."
How the quiet, polite 41-year-old school teacher came to be named after the most hated man of the 20th century says a lot about Israel and the Palestinians.
Israel occupied the West Bank in 1967 in a move never recognised by the international community.
Jewish settlers moved into the territory and the occupation continues.
When Abu Hamad was born in 1976, his father wanted to send a message, though in perhaps the most offensive way possible: picking the name of the man who systematically murdered six million Jews in the Holocaust.
"My father gave me the name to provoke the occupation," he said.
"He was not political. He was a simple man who made mistakes. He wanted to make the occupation think with my name."
The father-of-two studied English literature and is a deputy head at a school near his home, while also teaching adults.
His name is "weird for the kids at school", he said.
He says it also causes him endless problems at Israeli checkpoints in the West Bank.
When he was 15 and living in Hebron's Old City, an army officer approached him and asked him his name.
When he told him, the soldier flew off the handle, he alleges.
"He said 'you are a criminal'," Abu Hamad said, alleging he was then beaten by soldiers, leaving him with a broken nose still bent out of shape.
Israel's military did not respond to a request for comment.
He believes the name also stopped Israelis from giving him permits to study or work outside the Palestinian territories.
"We are not against the Jews," he said.
"We are against the occupation and don't respect it. It destroys our homes, confiscates our possessions and restricts our freedom."
Saddam Hussein
Many Palestinians have named children after their longtime leader Yasser Arafat, while other names heard include Castro, Guevara and Chavez -- after the Latin American figures who supported their cause.
In Hebron, there is a Carter Abu Isneyna, named after former US president Jimmy Carter, who tried to get Israel to end the occupation and led the Camp David peace talks between Israel and Egypt.
Qais Hussein Omar was born in 1976 under a different name -- Saddam Hussein.
He alleges he was regularly harassed at checkpoints by Israeli soldiers angered by his name, and was once hospitalised by a particularly brutal beating.
"My name was the source of psychological and physical suffering," he said.
In other countries, too, he faced issues and it all affected his health, so seven years ago he changed it.
He urges parents not to name their children after famous people as it "won't fit the personality"
"His name could be Yasser Arafat and he wants to become a ballet dancer."
Benjamin Netanyahu Nicola
In the city of Haifa in northern Israel, an Arab Israeli man is named after Jules Jammal, a Syrian military hero believed to have driven his boat into a French warship during the 1956 Suez crisis.
"I am happy with my name," he told AFP.
Naji Obeid, a Christian Arab who tries to encourage members of his community to join the Israeli army, named his son after former Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin.
"I loved the leader Menachem Begin and he was my friend, so I called my son Begin Obeid, and he serves in the Israeli navy," he told AFP.
Arab Israeli Christian Waheed Nicola named his son Benjamin Netanyahu after the right-wing Israeli leader won elections in 1996.
Delivery man Benjamin Netanyahu Nicola, 21, has said in previous interviews with Israeli media the name has caused him no end of problems when he delivers goods in Arab areas.
Israeli media reports have said he wanted to change his name but his father, who is a member of Netanyahu's Likud party, refused.
He didn't want to speak to AFP.
"My son is beautiful and kind and his name has caused him a lot of problems, especially after media interviews," his mother said. "So we won't do any more."

Exploring the value of the Cloud in education
Over the past few years, the popularity of Cloud in the Middle East has risen dramatically and in no area of the market has this been felt more than within the region's education sector.
Though late to the draw when compared to other organisations in other sectors, educators have pushed for wider Cloud adoption, realising the many benefits that range from improved integration, data storage and management, as well as a significant reduction in day-to-day costs.
One such educator is GEMS Education, a global private education company that provides education to over 190,000 students from over 176 countries, through GEMS owned and managed schools. It has also been reported that over 270,000 students access resources through the brand's services division.
"GEMS Education is at the forefront of the drive to transform the education industry and provide our students with the values, attributes, skills, fluencies and knowledge they will need to succeed and become the leaders of tomorrow," explains Michael Gernon, global Head of Innovation, GEMS Education.
"At the centre of this, sits the company's digital Strategy which provides for a cohesive and truly global digital ecosystem, generating and sharing world-class learning, effective data utilisation, and providing forums for teacher and student collaboration, and empowering all stakeholders to lever the true strengths of a global network of schools."
Linking the entirety of GEMS Education's global network is the GEMS Digital Ecosystem, which comprises of six core systems deployed at each of the brand's institutions.
This includes a Management Information System (MIS), Office 365, a Customer Relationship Management system, Microsoft Dynamics - ERP, along with an artificial intelligence-driven assessment and portfolio-building tool used for personalised learning and parent engagement.
Also part of the platform is GEMS Fusion, a Learning Management System and portal that accesses all teaching, learning and assessment tools, as well as content and services offered under the brand.
Through this ecosystem, GEMS Education is able to provide a range of benefits for teachers, students and parents, alike. For example, GEMS teachers can bring in external experts through a digital channel to work with students, while parents can utilise a mobile app to access their child's student information. Being connected to a global network of schools enables both teachers and students to share resources and even participate on global learning initiatives.
As one might expect however, the journey to the Cloud was not without its fair share of challenges.
"As a uniquely complex global organisation, with offerings in multiple curricula and at various market entry points across four continents, establishing a single and cohesive ecosystem has been a significant challenge," comments Gernon.
"However, the ecosystem differs from most school set-ups and is a pin-cushion model rather than a bubble, designed to ensure that on-the-ground innovation in teaching and learning continues to drive our success.
"The benefits of this approach have allowed us to re-examine our infrastructure and overall IT costs. The most significant benefit (and operational challenge) has been to move to wide-scale BYOD adoption in all our schools. All of schools now operate a BYOD strategy (mainly for 8-year-olds and above) and we have now begun to see the demise of the old-style 'IT lab' and everything that was wrong with teaching IT."
For GEMS Education, the advent of Cloud has become a critical enabler for education in the digital era.
"At GEMS Education, the intelligent use of Cloud technology is vital for empowering decision-makers at all levels. Data is the new oil and we can only serve our students and their families effectively if we are smart in the way we collect and use data,"
comments Gernon.
"Cloud technology allows us to utilise this in the most effective way in informing and continually ensuring that our teaching and learning remains outstanding, innovative and highly relevant. This is the key advantage that we see over other school systems.
In Dubai, so much technology is being deployed through Smart City initiatives, tech hubs and accelerators, and the way that most businesses are now operating. If education does not follow suit, then we all become the poorer relation," he adds.
Another education brand that has embraced the Cloud is Taaleem, formerly known as Beacon Education. Incepted back in 2004, Taaleem was originally founded with four schools, which includes the Uptown Primary School in Mirdif and Dubai British School in The Springs. Today, the brand's portfolio comprises of 11 schools with an enrolment of roughly 9,000 students.
While the rollout of Cloud is still ongoing across all of the academic institutions associated with Taaleem, certain schools, such as the Dubai British School Jumeriah Park, is already enjoying the benefits of cloud.
"Our management information system is Cloud-based. So all of our schools can access it, and even parents can access it as well, which is helpful," explains David Talbert, head of Technology Integration, Dubai British School Jumeirah Park.
"Moving away and having your system stored in the Cloud, means that you rely more on the vendor than your own infrastructure and in terms of providing that extra security. That reduces your overall cost, making you more cost-efficient."
The head of technology adds that being Cloud connected has enabled the brand to centralise its academic data, while also cutting down on the need for physical servers. At the same time, students are also being taught how to use the system, in particularly accessing the Cloud-based structure of Office 365. Furthermore, the platform is mobile enabled, so both students and teachers can access resources through their preferred mobile device.
The brand itself is also in the middle of implementing iSAMS, a browser-based management information system that oversees the generation and storage of reports.
"All our schools has iSAMS as part of the MIS. This is where we do most of our reporting ... We use iSAMS a lot to collect our data on our students, reporting, and parents use it to access their child supports," explains Talbert.
"Parents are able to access their child support options on their phone, laptop, or any device. And that is the advantage of the cloud, which is no matter what device you have, you're able to access your information and complete it yourself."
This accessibility is particularly useful in the case where parents are travelling abroad, but still want to remain informed on their child's academic progress.
From the vendor's side of the fence, ESKADENIA is a recognised name within the IT education market. Since 2008, the company has offered its ESKA Academia solution, an Education Management System ideally suited for either secondary or tertiary academic institutions. To date, ESKADENIA has fostered a portfolio of 22 education institutions that are running ESKA Academia's web-based software products.
"Although educations institutions were a little late in adapting technology in the Middle East, we have rapid growth and technology adoption in the past 10 years. We are witnessing a breakthrough in education technology allowing higher involvement of parents and interactive capabilities with students," comments Shadi Saadeh, general manager, ESKADENIA.
"In past three years, we see educational institutions are favouring a low CAPEX IT infrastructure, investing in hardware for onsite implementation. Therefore, private cloud implementations are becoming more and more appreciated."
When pressed on what he sees as being the challenges of Cloud adoption in education, the GM noted that the main challenge lies with moving towards, "the shared cloud infrastructure providing the SaaS subscription."
As internet connectivity is a key requirement in accessing Cloud-based storage and services, having a fast internet connection is a critical business need, but one that is often expensive. While the protection of data is undoubtedly paramount, the question of data ownership is a lingering issue.
This also implies that both cyber security and backup recovery are two important challenges that need to be addressed, both in protecting sensitive student information and minimising disruption of service.
Despite these obstacles however, the GM maintains a positive viewpoint for Cloud in education over the next couple of years.
"We are witnessing a huge technology transformation in educational institutions, an understanding and appreciation of technology tools, as well as a trend towards minimising the CAPEX and day-to-day management of IT routines," explains Saadeh.
"The Cloud is there already, the tools are all set for this move to take place. All we need is to drive the awareness of the advantages of cloud, while tackling all foreseen challenges to increase trust.
"Students will no longer be required to physically be located inside the school when all distance learning tools and capabilities are offered. Students in rural areas in the Middle East can still get the proper education offered to students around the world while being with family and friends," he concludes.

Some of the enemy stats are ridiculous, and the power that a well-built ranged character can bring to the table is pretty stupid.

Armstrong formed his first band in the 7th grade, and by age 17 he was touring the country. James would start making waves on the local California blues circuit by his 20s, becoming the youngest member of Smokey Wilson's band. In the 1980s, James was a founding member of the band Mama Roo and received his first recording contract for Crescendo Records. Armstrong continues to tour extensively. He pays tribute to the past with the traditional blues, and his unique songwriting skills. Using both slide and pick, James' guitar playing is some of the smoothest in the business. James regularly brings his vibrant and welcoming live shows to people around the globe.

Julius Caesar Translation Act 4, Scene 1
ANTONY, OCTAVIUS, and LEPIDUS enter.
These many, then, shall die. Their names are pricked.
These are the ones who will be killed. Their names are marked.
[to LEPIDUS] Your brother too must die. Consent you, Lepidus?
[To LEPIDUS] Your brother must die, too. Do you agree, Lepidus?
I do consent—
I agree—
Prick him down, Antony.
Mark him down, Antony.
Upon condition Publius shall not live,Who is your sister's son, Mark Antony.
On the condition that your sister's son, Publius, also must not be allowed to live, Mark Antony.
He shall not live. Look, with a spot I damn him. But, Lepidus, go you to Caesar's house. Fetch the will hither, and we shall determine How to cut off some charge in legacies.
He will not live. See—with this mark I've sentenced him to death. But, Lepidus, go now to Caesar's house. Bring his will here, and we'll figure out a way to reduce his gifts to the people.
What, shall I find you here?
Will you be here when I get back?
Or here, or at the Capitol.
We'll either be here or at the Capitol.
LEPIDUS exits.
This is a slight, unmeritable man, Meet to be sent on errands. Is it fit, The threefold world divided, he should stand One of the three to share it?
He's an insignificant, and unworthy man—only fit to be sent on errands. When we've split rulership of the world into three parts, is it proper that he should be one of the three men to share it?
So you thought him.And took his voice who should be pricked to dieIn our black sentence and proscription.
You thought so. Besides, you listened to his opinion about who we should mark for death.
Octavius, I have seen more days than you. And though we lay these honors on this man To ease ourselves of divers slanderous loads, He shall but bear them as the ass bears gold, To groan and sweat under the business, Either led or driven, as we point the way. And having brought our treasure where we will, Then take we down his load and turn him off, Like to the empty ass, to shake his ears And graze in commons.
Octavius, I've lived longer than you have. And though we're giving these honors to this man so that he carries the blame for the wrongs we're going to do, he'll carry these honors like a jackass carries gold—groaning and sweating under the load, either led or pushed, as we direct the way he should go. And once he's brought our treasure where we want, we'll relieve him of the load and put him out to pasture, like a jackass, to shake his ears and graze.
You may do your will,But he's a tried and valiant soldier.
You can do whatever you want, but he's an experienced and brave soldier.
So is my horse, Octavius, and for that I do appoint him store of provender. It is a creature that I teach to fight, To wind, to stop, to run directly on, His corporal motion governed by my spirit, And, in some taste, is Lepidus but so. He must be taught and trained and bid go forth, A barren-spirited fellow, one that feeds On objects, arts, and imitations, Which, out of use and staled by other men, Begin his fashion. Do not talk of him But as a property. And now, Octavius, Listen great things. Brutus and Cassius Are levying powers. We must straight make head. Therefore let our alliance be combined, Our best friends made, our means stretched. And let us presently go sit in council How covert matters may be best disclosed, And open perils surest answered.
So is my horse, Octavius, and for that reason I give him a supply of food. My horse is a creature that I direct during a fight—to turn, to stop, to run straight ahead. I control his movements. And, to some degree, Lepidus is nothing more than that. He has to be taught and trained and told what to do. He's an empty sort of man, and he considers the trends and tastes that went out of fashion with other men long ago to be the utmost in style. Don't think of Lepidus as anything other than a tool for us to use. And now, Octavius, listen to more important things. Brutus and Cassius are building armies. We must immediately do the same. Therefore, we should combine our strength, confirm the support of our allies, and stretch our connections to their fullest reach. Let's now go discuss how we can find out what hidden dangers face us, and how to respond to those dangers we already know about.
Let us do so. For we are at the stake And bayed about with many enemies. And some that smile have in their hearts, I fear, Millions of mischiefs.
Let's do that, because we're surrounded by many enemies, like a bear chained to a stake and circled by howling dogs. And I fear that some of the people who smile at us actually mean to harm us.
They exit.

As you have undoubtedly heard, a couple of black guys were asked to leave a Philadelphia Starbucks where they were waiting for a meeting and, when they failed to scoot, the manager had them arrested. Starbucks' CEO was mortified and ordered a day of "racial-bias education" for all employees.
While extremely few black people (or white people who pay attention) were surprised by what happened, conservatives were highly suspicious — a black person victimized on account of his race? But we've had Obama as president! And what about affirmative action? And when Starbucks proposed a training day they completely flipped out, often using the "Real Racist" argument that people who try to alleviate racism are the actual cause of racism in America, which otherwise would not exist.
It should be mentioned that conservatives have had a low-simmering beef with Starbucks for years — probably because, like Google and Facebook, it's a huge capitalist success but doesn't kiss their asses.
In 2008, for example, Michelle Malkin claimed she disliked Starbucks for its "'corporate social responsibility' mumbo-jumbo" and was boycotting it because of its "ridiculous policy barring gift card purchasers from customizing personalized cards with the phrase 'Laissez-Faire.'" Yes, that was actually a thing. ("It's a policy that made Starbucks vastly successful," intoned David Boaz at the Wall Street Journal. "But don't try to put that phrase on a customized Starbucks Card.")
In 2013 conservatives got mad when Starbucks asked their open-carry customers not to take guns into their stores. In 2015 they raged because Starbucks' Christmas-season cups didn't look Christ-in-Christmasy enough; Donald Trump, then a presidential candidate, proposed a boycott. (YouTube wingnut Mark Dice was also angry that people were drawing "Fuck Christmas, Hail Satan" on their Starbucks cups, which he seemed not to recognize as a joke.) It got so embarrassing that the Federalist's Mollie Hemingway insisted, in Baghdad Bob fashion, that "Nobody Is Actually Upset About the Starbucks Cup." (When Trump won, some of his fans sought revenge by paying six bucks for a barista to call out the name "Donald Trump.")
Since then there've been some small Rawwrr-Starbucks-Disrespected-MAGA outbreaks, and a flare-up last year over the company's plan to hire refugees, but the diversity training thing really inflamed the brethren.
"Starbucks' Proud Progressivism Can't Protect It From Charges of Racism," sneered Julia Dent at the Weekly Standard. "How does this happen at such a progressive business and in such a liberal city?" Dent also had a laugh because "liberals love to complain that businesses like Chick-fil-A and Hobby Lobby that are run by openly conservative proprieters have terrible values," yet those companies only have problems with gays and women, unlike the progressive Real Racists of Starbucks.
"Report: Starbucks Manager Who Called Cops on Black Men Was Feminist, SJW," claimed Benjamin Arie at Conservative Tribune. Arie said a "Philadelphia resident" called in to the Ben Shapiro radio show and told the pint-size pundit that the Starbucks manager, "Holly," was "an SJW feminist of the highest order.… Once I even overheard her scorn a male barista for not using the proper neutral pronouns with somebody.… I've personally seen Holly give the oh-so-coveted restroom code to both black and white people, patrons and non-patrons.…"
Doesn't sound like a put-up job at all, does it? Arie was certainly moved by it: "We've crossed a line," he wrote. "Accusations of 'racism' have lost their meaning, ironically thanks to 'social justice' adherents including perhaps Holly." The Real Racists strike again!
National Review published no fewer than three items on the incident and its aftermath. David French sounded passive-aggressively dubious about the racism ("There is near-universal consensus that the Starbucks employee's actions were racially motivated. Starbucks apparently agrees…I'm not going to question its conclusion"). He didn't like that Starbucks was going to deal with "unconscious bias," a concept he called "Orwellian junk science." Whoever heard of someone being unaware of their own bias? Bigots are all self-aware, like the bad guys in Roots and Django Unchained.
French's colleague Kyle Smith grudgingly admitted the incident "looks like racism" but retorted, "if a white manager called the police on two white guys hanging around a coffee shop, it wouldn't make the news, much less become a national obsession." What makes black people so special? Smith also complained that because of a "mob" that protested at the Philly Starbucks, "any non-racists in the mood for a cup of Starbucks java had to go elsewhere. Why punish them?" Also, do you know how many bus riders were late to work because of Rosa Parks?
National Review's Jim Geraghty, going for what among readers of that publication must be the easiest possible layup, said, "I suspect you can trace the country's unexpected path to this mind-set on racial controversies by following the twists and turns in the career of Al Sharpton." (I guess he could have used O.J. but lacked a sports angle.)
Under a photo from the Starbucks protest, Geraghty's colleague Jonah Goldberg bravely defended white America from unnamed persons who had slandered her. "There's a difference between saying, one one hand, that discrimination or other injustices exist and there's more work to be done," pleaded Goldberg, "and, on the other, saying that America is the most racist country in the world and that things haven't gotten better." If you were wondering who, specifically, had said America was "the most racist country in the world," Goldberg's answer was "Search Twitter for 'most racist' and 'America' and scroll through the results."
I did as Goldberg suggested, and got mostly results like "most racist cities in america," "Liberal's are the most racist people in America," "The Volcano God is for fucking sure one of the most racist daddies in America," "@Google is one of the most racist countries in America. If you're White, Asian or a straight male you're not welcome at their company," etc. Occasionally a rando did say America was Most Racist, though, so I guess Goldberg was arguing with such prominent liberal spokespeople as @dj16600775.
"America is not without its problems," concluded Goldberg, "But perhaps those problems would be alleviated somewhat if we stopped insisting they're so much worse than they really are." If only you liberals would stop saying America was racist, there would be less Real Racism.
Other conservatives, perhaps afraid to embarrass themselves, tried an at least ostensibly sympathetic approach. At the Federalist, under the headline "Starbucks Is Right to Address Racism, and Conservatives Should Be On Board," David Marcus called the incident "deeply troubling" and even admitted "these black guys were arrested because they were black."
But then it was coffee break over, everyone back on your heads: Marcus predicted the training would be "progressive gobbledygook," "a bill of goods about privilege theory," "privilege theory-based spiel," etc., which he assured readers would lead to "greater disharmony," presumably due to Real Racism.
Marcus didn't explain what specifically he meant by "privilege theory," but he knew why Starbucks employees would be indoctrinated with it: Because, he said, "conservatives have disengaged" from "anti-racism pedagogy" — not through any fault of their own, you understand, but because "any conservative who talks about race is eventually called a racist, and nobody likes being called that." Imagine if someone had called Abraham Lincoln a racist, that would have stopped him dead in his tracks!
Instead of all this progressive gobbledegook, Marcus said workers should be taught "that the color of a person's skin tells you nothing about him, and should not be the basis of any judgment you make about him." Whoa! Why didn't we think of that? Plus, it's worked great so far.
When right-wing African American Bryan Sharpe aka Hotep Jesus trolled a Starbucks by demanding a free coffee as "reparations," some of the brethren became excited, as they are wont to do when they find a black person who agrees with them, a condition also known as "Diamond and Silk Syndrome."
"A black man walked into a Starbucks store and demanded free coffee as 'reparations' for racism in America — but there's a whole lot more to the story than what's being reported," reported Glenn Beck's the Blaze — though the trolling to which they allude was the story and gleefully reported by Drudge Report, Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, and hundreds of other conservatives.
Later Right Wing Watch discovered that Sharpe/Jesus has published some, let us say, peculiar views — for example, he said after Charlottesville, "the truth is, Alt-right is the victim here" — but that's probably not going to dim the brethren's enthusiasm for him (look, he even says "LIBERALS ARE THE REAL RACISTS" — what's not to love?); nor has it slaked the conservative thirst for gags on non-conservative black people: 4channers have started disseminating fake free Starbucks coffee vouchers for black people. That'll teach them to imply white non-liberal America is racist!
If their laughter, like their indignation, seems a bit forced, even desperate, consider: Here we have a giant company that, whatever you think of its sincerity, has weighed the situation and decided it's in its best interest to make a highly public show of anti-racism at great cost to themselves. That capitalists, of all people, would side against conservatives — led as they are by Donald Trump, who, though obviously really racist, is certainly not Real Racist like liberals and Starbucks — and side with the people conservatives mock as "social justice warriors" — since, to such people, the very idea of social justice is a joke — must really upset them, especially if they understand that Starbucks is not so much taking a side as making a long-term investment.

Television in the 1950s
The popular assumption of 1950s TV is that it was an endless black-and-white array of Lucy-esque antics, Uncle Miltie dressed in drag and dancing cigarette boxes. And while, granted, all of these things were in existence, to categorize the entire decade's programming on such a limited—if entertaining—set of examples is to greatly skew our understanding of that 10 year period, and television's role in introducing and exploring weighty, even controversial topics.
Though most of the sitcoms of the era (from "Lucy" to "Father Knows Best," et.al.), in this pre-Norman Lear era of TV comedy, choose to bypass topical topics (with the exception of the occasional little moral lesson), dramas and anthology programs of the era, with a still startlingly candor, did dare to tackle a wide assortment of political and social issues.
The Cold War and constant threat of nuclear war not only weighed heavily on people's minds (as they built and stocked their backyard bomb shelters) but also occupied many hours of primetime television. Quite famously, the realistic-for-its-time medical drama, "Medic" aired, in 1955, an episode titled "Flash of Darkness." It relayed the story of a small hospital's reaction immediately after a nuclear warhead had been dropped on a neighboring town.
"Medic" probably deserves the prize for being the series most frequently taking on hard-hitting stories. Along with its exploration of nuclear fallout mentioned above, the half-hour weekly's fourth-aired episode, from 1954, focused on an alcoholic mother; its ninth episode, "With This Ring," focused on teen pregnancy and the importance of pre-natal care; and its 11th, "Wild Intruder," told the story of a very young woman diagnosed with breast cancer; and its 12th addressed the deadly after affects of drunk driving.
But "Medic" wasn't alone in its televised topicality. Adoption, racism, drugs, alcohol, gambling, and mental retardation, among other hot-button subjects, were also frequently addressed on '50s television in a variety of ways and via a variety of programs.
Not surprisingly, TV's most famous cop drama of the era, Jack Webb's "Dragnet," by its very true-to-life nature, had to probe some unpleasant, even then-unspeakable, truths. The series's second episode, aired in 1952, told the story of a heroin-addicted actor. Three episodes later, in an installment titled "The Big Speech," prescription drug addiction is addressed. Other episodes from the show's inaugural seasons looked at suicide, child kidnapping and even "dirty cops."
Similar to "Dragnet" in many ways was 1957's syndicated police woman drama "Decoy," starring Beverly Garland. Its single season featured an episode titled "Dream Fix" and was a highly unvarnished look at a woman's heroin addiction. A later "Decoy" episode, "Death Watch," included the sensitive portrayal of a mentally-retarded adult.
The ambitious 1956-1957 series "Wire Service," a program which followed three go-getting reporters on a rotating basis, also didn't shy away from hard issues. In the episode, "Night of August Seventh," a prison riot covered by reporter Dean Evans (played by George Brent) focused its attention on prison overcrowding and other issues of criminal reform. In "World of the Lonely," which featured Mercedes McCambridge in the lead as reporter Kate Wells, the story pivoted on an experimental drug designed to cure schizophrenia. The episode "The Avengers," featuring Dane Clark, told the story of an American POW.
Also in 1955, an episode of "Gunsmoke" aired titled "The Queue." It dealt with a Chinese immigrant and his abuse from whites in the Old West. Today, we'd call his treatment a "hate crime." Issues of race were also touched on in a 1954 episode of the syndicated series "Janet Dean, Registered Nurse." In the episode "The Applegate Case," Nurse Dean (Ella Raines) quietly but effectively put a bigoted woman in her place. And illegal drugs were the focus of a 1954 episode of the syndicated "Foreign Intrigue" series. In this episode, "Narcotics," the reporter/hero of the show assisted in breaking up a drug ring when cops prove ill-effective.
If not in episodic series, then certainly the highly popular and prolific anthology shows of the era embraced controversial and political topics. Along with such now avowed classics as "Marty" and "Requiem for a Heavyweight," anthologies were rich in diverse and hard-hitting subject matter.
In 1958, "Playhouse 90" offered the first production of "Days of Wine and Roses." It vividly tackled the issue of alcoholism and starred Piper Laurie and Cliff Robertston. Four years later, in 1962, "Days" would get the big screen treatment in a feature film starring Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick. Other "Playhouse 90" installments dealt with extramarital affairs ("The Country Husband") and multi-ethnic adoption ("The Family Nobody Wanted"). One episode was a bio-pic of Elizabeth Blackwell, America's first licensed female physician.
Earlier, in 1953, the anthology "The United States Steel Hour" aired "POW," the fictional story of a returning US soldier whose reentry into civilian life is complicated by memories of wartime torture in a POW camp.
In 1954, the "Motorola Television Hour" aired "Atomic Attack." Similar to the "Medic" installment mentioned earlier, "Attack" told the story of a family living 50 miles outside of New York City who have to face nuclear fallout.
TV legend and producer extraordinaire David Susskind always believed in a higher-purpose for television, whether it was via his own weekly talk show or his dramatic presentations. One of his first was the production "A Man is Ten Feet Tall" from 1955 and aired as part of "The Philco Television Playhouse." "Man" was the story of interracial friendship and starred Sidney Poitier and Don Murray.
On Susskind's later "Armstrong Circle Theatre" series, tough topics were also often the norm. On a 1951 installment, "The Partnership," a doctor with strong anti-religious views must treat a woman with an abiding faith. In 1952's "Way of Courage," a man with only three months to live must prepare his family for his death. In "House of Tears," from 1953, a woman comes to terms with the death of her young daughter.
Other anthologies could also be hard-hitting. A 1958 episode of "Studio One" titled "Tag-Along" told the story of a Mexican-American family who relocate to escape prejudice.
Even "The Loretta Young Show," an anthology mainly remembered today for the glamour of its host, didn't take an easy route. In season two, the episode "Dr. Juliet" tells of an alcoholic man who finally seeks help after a failed suicide attempt. An episode two seasons later, "Fear Me Not," takes on the topic of mental illness.
And far from the post card-y, feel-good movies that they traffic in today, "The Hallmark Hall of Fame" was once the domain of the high-end classics and issue-oriented dramas. Along with presentations of Shakespeare (including productions of "Hamlet" and "Macbeth") the "Hall" also courted controversy with presentations of the war drama "There Shall Be No Night" in 1957 and "A Doll's House" in 1959. Most pointedly, in 1957, the "Hall" presented "The Green Pastures." Adapted from his own Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Marc Connelly's lyrical drama retells Bible stories from an African-American perspective and with an all-Black cast which included Eddie "Rochester" Anderson.
Lest we forget, network news was already a major presence on the airwaves in the 1950s; all three of the big three networks had been airing nightly newscasts since 1948. Additionally, primetime hours were often turned over to prestigious and erudite news documentaries. Alex McNeil's invaluable book "Total Television" has as one of its handy appendices pages devoted to a list of "Special Occasions" broadcasts.
Included in it: live broadcasts of the two national political conventions beginning in July of 1952; from February 14, 1954, "Guatemala," an NBC news special on communist influences in that Central American nation; on September 13, 1954, "Three Two One Zero," an NBC documentary on atomic power; on March 14, 1956, "The Twisted Cross," an NBC doc on the rise of Hitler and Nazi Germany, narrated by Alexander Scourby; on March 24, 1957, "The Black Star Rises," a CBS special on President Eisenhower's visit to Africa; on May 19, 1957, "The Rebels of Sierra Maestra—Cuba's Jungle Fighters" over CBS; on December 28, 1958, "The Face of Red China," a CBS news special; and on December 18, 1959, "Iran: Brittle Ally," a "CBS Reports" broadcast hosted by Edward R. Murrow.
The above resuscitation of titles and issues, of course, only skims the surface. Un-rerun and banished to network vaults or too often unvisited archives, much of 1950s television sits absent from memory, like a world waiting to be (re)discovered.
Considering this, therefore, it is not hard to understand how a decade filled with such weighty issues, addressed both via news (fact) and drama (fiction), has come to be thought of as only one long vaudeville skit, populated by slapstick antics and animal acts. Video retrospectives meant to summarize this TV timeframe of the 1950's too often fall back on the same handfuls of tried-and-true clips. That's not surprising: they are profoundly entertaining. But they are also extraordinarily misleading, misconstruing a decade and an entire medium, in the process obscuring the important timely topics it was, even in the very beginning, TV was brave enough to explore.

Review: Make Art with Your Hands and Feet!
There are guidelines given but lots of room is left for children to be creative.
Kids can create penguins with their feet, crocodile jaws with their fingers and butterflies with their hands.
There is also room to paint and trace, and be creative by adding to the drawings already on the paper.
This is a book most ages would enjoy, as I myself would find this really fun to do. It is a real boredom buster, and a great activity to do on the weekends.
I would rate this book 9/10 because I think it can be enjoyed by everyone.
