Pastor Martin Ssempa, the senior minister of Makerere Community Church and outspoken controversial social critic has joined the infamous list of America's wanted men. For the first time in a very long time, the intrepid and vocal pastor has been silenced and driven into hiding with a bounty in the regions of US$40,000 (approx. sh128m) staked over his head for any resourceful informant.
The 47-year-old pastor, who holds both Ugandan and American citizenship, is being hunted by American private investigators under a company called Magineto, hired to locate, capture and fly him to America for questioning. He is wanted as a principal witness in a Civil Law suit against another controversial pastor Scott Lively who stands accused of crimes against humanity by a group of Ugandans.
The group which lodged a lawsuit in the US claims that Lively, a US national, persecuted them for their sexual beliefs. Ssempa is not himself a target of the lawsuit, but as a close ally of Lively, he has successfully been listed as a principal witness. And since discovering that Ssempa holds duo citizenship, the American Center for Constitutional Rights gleefully served him with a subpoena (pronounced supina) – a document ordering a person to attend court. Ssempa's subpoena conveniently comes with a US$1900 (approx. sh6m) cheque to cover his travel expenses to Massachusetts.
According to Ssempa's confidants, agreeing to testify in the case whose hearing started on June 16, is the same thing as handing himself up for arrest. "It will indirectly hand the Americans an opportunity to implicate him for the crimes against humanity because just like Lively, he (Ssempa) has been a prominent critic of the west and their liberal moral standpoint," he argues.

Just to let all of you know, I'm about to take the plunge. It's 99.9% decided. I've been mulling it over for a few months now, deciding whether it's worth telling The World about and have finally come to the conclusion that this is News I should be proud to share.
I'm going to buy myself a new pair of binoculars! If you never thought I'd come this far, you're not alone. I too never thought my bird THING would last this long! You see, bird watching isn't really something I had imagined would be in my future. It's not like I imagined I'd go see a fortune teller and she'd tell me WOW! YOU WILL BIRD WATCH! Beware. There is absolutely nothing you can do to stop it from happening.
The thing is, and I'll be honest here, bird watching makes me happy. I have no idea why. I couldn't tell you why watching a Fox Sparrow (Passerella iliaca) roll around in the leaves (in Whitby, of all places!) is more than enough reward for three hours of basically standing still and a 6:30 am Saturday wake-up call.
What made this fox sparrow so completely awesomely gratifying was that I saw it rolling around in the leaves in the company of another, smaller, more ordinary looking sparrow and a junco and a couple chickadees! It was a total bird party out there somewhere in the middle of the woods in Whitby! I had never noticed how much fatter the Fox Sparrow is than all the others, but then again, maybe he's bulking up for winter, who knows how bird metabolism really works.
And we saw numerous downy woodpeckers, which I can now almost certainly identify, doing their interminable tree-pounding routine, and I wondered, as I always do, every time I see a woodpecker in action, how it is that they never get a headache. Nature really IS awesome. By real birding standards, the day was nothing to brag about, but as far as I'm concerned, any time I can catch a woodpecker marking his territory is almost as good as eating bread pudding, fresh from the oven.
Of course, I now have this terrible feeling that I'm going to become one of these people who talks about binoculars and lenses and scopes and will alienate all of my friends and family in the process. I promise to keep the whole binocular shopping/evaluating/comparing/strategizing to a bare minimum here. But really, this is HUGE! I'm officially committing myself to birds for the next while. The somewhat birder may well one day become a bona fide birdwatcher. (of course, I'd have to know how to identify more then 7 birds, but who's counting…)
I think Joey Slinger (formerly of Toronto Star fame) summed up binocular shopping perfectly:
In choosing binoculars, there is a simple rule to guide you: expensive ones are better. It is this way with everything else in life. Why should it be any different here? (Down and Dirty Birding)
So…. I'll let you know what I end up with!

The json gem strikes again: heroku on Windows
This json gem without windows binaries for Ruby 1.9.2 is the bane of my existence.
I just started using heroku today with the heroku gem, and on every command I got the dreaded "msvcrt-ruby18.dll was not found" popup.
As usual, the fix is to reinstall the json gem (after getting DevKit):
Edit: As pointed out by Chad Tipton in the comments, you'll need to add –version=1.4.6 because 1.5.1 is out but 1.4.6 is the version of the json gem that the heroku gem depends on.
I also learned that there's a batch script to set your PATH for using DevKit in your DevKit install dir called devkitvars.bat that will add install-dir\bin to your PATH… that's what I get for messing around with my PATH for no good reason.
I really should just start running "gem install json –platform=ruby" after every command.

text: in Features, Headlines, Latest Posts, News Murray and Jeffcoat crowned in 2018 Mooloolaba World Cup MOOLOOLABA, AUSTRALIA – For the 16th consecutive year, world's top triathletes gathered in the Sunshine Coast this weekend to participate in the second stop of the ITU World Cup Tour, in Mooloolaba (Australia). Women's Review Australia's Emma Jeffcoat was the one to beat in 2018 ITU Mooloolaba World Cup today. Championed with a home crowd, Jeffcoat dominated today's race to win gold and step on top of the World Cup podium. With a strong Australian surf background, it was no surprise that Jeffcoat led the field of women out of the 750m ocean swim solo, in favorable conditions, before heading onto the 4-lapped bike course. "That's racing, you've got to play to the conditions and I am lucky to have a surf background that let me get that advantage to set up for a good race," said Jeffcoat. Kasper, a run specialist, wasn't letting Jeffcoat out of sight however didn't quite have the turnover to play catch and claimed the silver medal today. "Emma was the one to beat today. She was full on right from the start. I just tried to give it my all. It's not like me to fall off that early but coming off Abu Dhabi I can't complain with that result," said Kasper. It was Olmo from Italy who produced an impressive performance to round out today's podium with a bronze finish. "First podium, so happy. I worked really hard this Winter and I wanted to achieve a result like this so I am really surprised but happy," Olmo said.

"There was a lot of looking up and sitting around, a couple of the guys tried to break away. I tried to break away myself, not particularly sure why, but thought it would be good to get a hard ride in today," said Murray. Australian triathlete Matthew Hauser, who was crowned Junior World Champion at the 2017 ITU World Triathlon Grand Final in Rotterdam, put Murray to the test on the run. "It was a great hit out today ahead of the Commonwealth Games in April. "I managed to handle myself on the bike and stay tucked into the pack and was able to have a bit of a kick at the end and come home for second place," said Hauser. American Matthew McElroy bolstered across the finish line to claim bronze and round out the elite men's podium. "Super stoked with the performance and to be on the podium to set the year off. "It was the perfect course for me, I have a surfing background so the swim was great and I also come from a running background," McElroy said. Read the full review Results: Elite Men 1.

When selling products internationally, it's critical to be aware of the slight differences between regions. In a previous post, we examined the differences between U.S. sales tax and E.U. VAT presentation. Similarly, date formatting is one of the most common, yet easily solved mistakes made when companies have their virtual passports stamped to sell globally.
In the U.S., the month is typically displayed before the day when writing (MM/DD/YYYY). If you are using a U.S. computer, look at the format of the date display and you will see a date such as 9/15/2010. Clearly there aren't 15 months in a year so it's rather obvious that the month is first, day second and year third. However, Europeans will likely see the reverse with 15/9/2010 (DD/MM/YYYY) in the display.
This may seem innocuous enough, but what happens when you have a date such as 3/9/2010? Look at the following example of software maker Whitesmoke:
This capture was made on August 31, so what they likely meant as the Offer ends date was September 3, but to a U.S. viewer, this looks like March 9, 2010! Is this offer already expired? Don't make your customers stumble over such trivial details.
Similarly, in Japan, the date is written with the year first, then month, then day. This adds additional complexity when selling into Japan. Here's a screen shot of the Amazon software store with only the numbers shown. Luckily, 99.7% of all Japanese citizens are Japanese, or else there could be confusion in how Amazon is handling the date.
Wikipedia has a list of all the countries and common practices in those local countries. Check it out and use these guidelines for date formatting.
In Western countries there is a simple solution to smooth the rough edges when it comes to date formatting. If you always spell out at least part of the month field with letters, no one will get the wrong idea.
We recommend the following formats:
- 3rd September 2010
- Sept 3rd, 2010
- Sept 3, 2010
- 3 Sep 2010
Of course, you must handle Asian countries differently. Be sure your marketing and ecommerce platforms supports all of the local nuances to prevent marketing campaigns from underachieving!
Attention to detail is extremely important when selling internationally. Spell out some part of the month field whenever including a date online because you never know where your customer is coming from.
Do you have any other examples where you've been confused when buying online? Often times, companies aren't even aware that they are losing sales! Tell us your stories in the comment section.

"Wrekin Windows use Technispray to provide Kolorbonded colour on PVCu profiles and frames, for both small and large commercial contracts. Technispray handle these contracts efficiently and reliably and provide a consistent high quality finish."
"I would just like to say what a fantastic job yourself and team did painting the windows, soffits and fascia boards at my pub.
It's transformed the appearance and people comment all the time how great it looks."
"Once again your professionalism and expertise have shone through. Your services prove to be second to none and because of the confidence we have in being able to deliver coloured products on time and with no fear of quality issues it has added a complete new dimension to our product range."
"In July 2013 technispray painted all the windows on the front of our house. The work was of an exceptional standard and the on-site team were friendly and courteous. They kept the area safe and tidied up at the end. We would have no hesitation to recommend this firm to anyone interested in getting a great finish on paintwork. We would be happy to be a reference site for the company."
"Having put up with a lack lustre appearance on our existing UPVC windows my contact with your firm was refreshing. The colour, which we selected and your paint sprayer applied, really does brighten the existing UPVC up and makes the whole house look very different. He came at the time and date planned and after a lot of time painstakingly masking off the unwanted areas he set to work and spray painted the windows. The overall finish was good and he cleaned up after him in a way that you would never have guessed that he had been here.
Thank you so much for the professional and courteous way that we were dealt with and I would have no hesitation in using your firm should we require similar work to be done at any time in the future."
"Having never had windows sprayed before, I was a little concerned I would not get the result I wanted. Kolorbond gave me assurance and delivered everything they said they would. The finish is really good and has been tested well over the winter. it still looks great. I am really pleased with the result and would recommend them to anyone thinking of doing the same."
"Adding colour to our new white UPVC windows and doors transformed their appearance. The service from Technispray was efficient and friendly and I would definitely recommend them."

Carnaval in Cabo Frio
Carnaval was like a week of a porky pig's fest. Not that it's a bad thing or anything. I'm just figuring out that partying just might be the #1 national interest (well, maybe after beer) of these people and after 8 months of being here, that kind of makes me sick.
Buuuut in all its glory, I heard classic Carnaval songs that play every.single.year as well as saw a parade of the famous Recife "bunhecas" or dolls. I took a picture with one which you can see below.
It occurred to me that Brazilian men love heels, dresses, and makeup. They actually wait the entire year to dress up as a beautified woman for the 4 days of Carnaval. They look like this.
We were able to see 2 neighboring beach towns one being called Buzios and the other Arrail do Cabo. Both of them didn't have carnaval. Buzios is an artisan tourist town that was full of Europeans and Argentinans. It's really charming and there are great restaurants and boutiques to shop in. Arrail do Cabo is known for the beautiful beaches with freezing water. Thank God we went there on the only sunny day we had.
The rest was just everything I expected. The first two days of carnaval, people are already drunk, adults and teenagers already loose some of their integrity, guys are already assaulting girls for a kiss, people are selling all kinds of things to rip you off, but that's Brazil… even more-so, Cariocas. It's great for the first few hours because all of the music is new. But if you're unlucky to be with someone who never gets tired and doesn't think that the parties are dragging at all, you would have gotten tired like I did. That's why going to Buzios and Arrail do Cabo were ideal for me since they were a lot more peaceful. The last days were just monotonous to me and the city was so revolting I didn't even want to wear my shoes on the sidewalk.
I met some really nice kids that I still keep in touch with via facebook (like the guys who were our neighbors below). I'm expecting a lot of visitors in Nyc since everyone here has found a place to stay and leech off of (just kidding). I jumped off of some rocks into the deeper part of the sea and that was fun regardless of how many times I cut my hands trying to get back on the rocks.

She was fast asleep on the back seat of the bus. Curled up, thumb in mouth. Four, maybe five years old.
I turned around. The last few passengers were shuffling away from me down the aisle to the doors. 'Whose is this child?' I called.
Nobody looked back.
December, 1940. As German bombs fall on Southampton, the city's residents flee to the surrounding villages. In Upton village, amid the chaos, newly-married Ellen Parr finds a girl sleeping, unclaimed at the back of an empty bus. Little Pamela, it seems, is entirely alone.
Ellen has always believed she does not want children, but when she takes Pamela into her home the child cracks open the past Ellen thought she had escaped and the future she and her husband Selwyn had dreamed for themselves. As the war rages on, love grows where it was least expected, surprising them all. But with the end of the fighting comes the realization that Pamela was never theirs to keep…
A story of courage and kindness, hardship and friendship, We Must be Brave explores the fierce love we feel for our children and the astonishing power of that love to endure.

PhillySwirl was founded by PennState college buddies Max and Alex. While spending time in South Florida, Max was surprised at how hard it was to find his favorite Philadelphia treat, Italian Ice.
Alex and Max realized that this could be a great business idea. The friends then drove over 1,000 miles from Philadelphia to Tampa to start their own Italian Ice business.
They started their business in 1992 with an old ice cream machine, a chest freezer and a rented a 400-square-foot house with a carport for a storefront. They lived and worked from this space, sleeping in shifts to make batches of the frozen treat.
Not long into their success, the partners had another great idea: why not combine two or more of their flavors to create never-seen-before combinations? And so "the swirl" was born, using their secret swirl technology.
Thanks to years of hard work and dedication, PhillySwirl products can now be found major grocery stores and club stores across the US and Canada.

Healing Lyme Disease Naturally by Wolf D. Storl is a book about Lyme Disease and how to achieve a total cure naturally.
I picked this up because we recently had a pediatric case in our family that needed attention. After visiting multiple doctors, we were told the only way to battle the disease was to take a 21 day course of antibiotics and retest a few months later. We noticed even after the antibiotics, there was still something brewing as symptoms would occasionally reappear. After researching myself and reading this book, I believe now that antibiotics are not the answer for everyone. People react differently to the disease.
What I love about this book is that the author has a story to tell about his own experience and how he treated himself. He covers many methods of natural cures including Chinese Medicine, spiritual guidance, and plant use to name a few. There's a section pertaining to just the healing plants with descriptions for each. Many of the plants Mr. Storl deems useful are plants that we already had growing in our gardens. Typical plants like teasel, yarrow, elderberry, coneflower, and lemon balm are just some of the plants used as powders and teas. The book also covers the history of the disease, ticks and the different diseases they transmit, and information on bacteria and how it survives. It offers methods of protecting yourself from ticks, and how to keep your body healthy with diet and exercise.
I was really fascinated with the section outlining the different paths of transmission. It turns out Lyme Disease doesn't just transmit from ticks. The book doesn't agree with the CDC.
Here are statements from the CDC's website:
There is no evidence that Lyme disease is transmitted from person-to-person. For example, a person cannot get infected from touching, kissing, or having sex with a person who has Lyme disease.
Lyme disease acquired during pregnancy may lead to infection of the placenta and possible stillbirth; however, no negative effects on the fetus have been found when the mother receives appropriate antibiotic treatment. There are no reports of Lyme disease transmission from breast milk.
There is no credible evidence that Lyme disease can be transmitted through air, food, water, or from the bites of mosquitoes, flies, fleas, or lice.
This is interesting as the author points out that there is evidence proving these methods of transmission, they are just least likely.
Each chapter has a set of quotes from multiple authors. This is a favorite:
"Don't let it get to the point that you have accepted the diagnosis, because then your fate is sealed."
I feel strongly about the quote above. I believe it's more important than ever that everyone be their own patient advocates because in many cases modern medicine is lacking proper treatments that truly heal the body versus just covering symptoms and ailments. Everyone is different and what if there is a cure for you?
At this point I can't say for sure that the methods in this book are a 100% cure, but they have definitely helped. I believe in the power of plants and the principles outlined in the book make sense.
I'm so glad I found this book and I recommend it to anyone dealing with Lyme Disease or for those who want to learn more.
I'm looking forward to reading more from this author.
Blurb: In Healing Lyme Disease Naturally, anthropologist Wolf D. Storl shares his own success in overcoming a difficult, sometimes deadly disease that is reaching epidemic proportions. When he was diagnosed, Dr. Storl refused standard treatments because of antibiotic intolerance. Instead, he researched healing systems of various cultures including Traditional Chinese Medicine, American Indian healing practices, homeopathy, and traditional Western herbal lore and discovered the teasel root. Teasel, a flowering plant that grows throughout Europe and Asia, tonifies the liver and kidneys, promotes blood circulation, and strengthens the bones and tendons. The plant has been documented to help cure chronic conditions marked by arthritis, sore, stiff muscles, and eventual incapacitation—all symptoms associated with Lyme disease. Dr. Storl's approach consists of flushing out toxins and inhibiting bacteria by using teasel root as tincture, powder, or tea (available for purchase online and in natural foods stores); stimulating the immune system and detoxifying the body by exposing it to extreme heat (sweat lodges and Japanese baths); and dietary and naturopathic measures, including fresh natural food, exercise, and sufficient sleep. Written in an encouraging, personal tone but based in science and clinical studies, Healing Lyme Disease Naturally offers hope in combating a condition that has stubbornly resisted conventional medical treatment.

About the Author:
After finishing his PhD in Anthropology (magna cum lauda) on a Fulbright scholarship in 1974 in Berne, Switzerland, he taught anthropology and sociology in Grants Pass, OR. During this time he also offered an organic gardening course that was extremely popular. He was one of the pioneers of the organic/biodynamic gardening movement. While preparing for his doctoral exams in Switzerland he also lived in an experimental community and helped tend a five-acre organic garden. There he had the good fortune to learn from master gardener, Manfred Stauffer who specialized in composting any organic matter.
Storl is also an avid traveler and has gathered much experience observing nature around the entire globe and spending time with people who are very connected to the nature that surrounds them. From1982 -83, he spent a year as an official visiting scholar at the Benares Hindu University, in Varanasi, India. After returning to the United States in 1984, he spent much time with traditional medicine persons of the Cheyenne and taught courses at Sheridan College in Sheridan, Wyoming. He has traveled and conducted research in South Asia, India, Mexico, the Canary Islands, South Africa, and much of Europe, pursuing ehtnobotanical and ethnomedicinal interests. He has written some twenty-five books and many articles in German and English, which have been translated into various languages, such as English, Dutch, French, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Japanese, Danish, Lithuanian, Latvian, and Czech. Storl is a frequent guest on German, Swiss and Austrian television and has also appeared on BBC.
After another visit in India and Nepal in 1986, he and his wife moved to Germany where he began to write books as a freelance writer and offer freelance lectures. He lives with his family on an old estate in the foothills of the Alps where he has a large garden.
Storl's books are unique in that he does not treat nature only with cold objectivism. He is able to delve into nature's depths and supports his experience with ancient lore from all over the world that has been, for the most part, left on the wayside in the wake of objective science. He theorizes that science is not always as objective as it claims to be. He invites his readers on a journey into a world of nature that is completely alive and has its own rhyme and reason. Myths and lore from many cultures also have a prominent place in his writings, as he claims that the images portrayed in this way often tell us more about the true nature of things than dry facts can do.
MA from Kent State University, instructor there from 1967 – 1969 in anthropology and sociology.
PhD in Anthropology (magna cum lauda) from University of Berne Switzerland, Fulbright scholarship, 1974.
Wolf D. Storl also writes in German as Wolf-Dieter Storl

The disclosure generally describes computer-implemented methods, software, and systems, including a method for generating executable components. One method includes identifying a user request to create a new function based pre-existing algorithms, the new function to be used in an application used by a user; providing a set of available algorithms from an algorithm library; receiving a selection by a user of an algorithm from the available algorithms; providing a set of available parameters associated with the selected algorithm; receiving an election by the user of one or more parameters from the set of available parameters; generating an executable component in response to receiving the selection of the algorithm and the election of the one or more parameters, the executable component performing the selected algorithm using at least the elected one or more parameters; and storing the executable component for subsequent execution in response to the requested new function.
Automatic discovery of counter-intuitive insights in data analytics involves computing a first set of values based on primary values and secondary values. The primary values include outliers. The computed first set of values is identified as a primary pattern. Compute a second set of values based on the primary values and first level secondary sub-values. The computed second set of values is identified as a secondary pattern. The identified secondary pattern is opposite to the identified primary pattern. The identified primary pattern and the secondary pattern are displayed in a graphical user interface.
A dataset for an event of interest is received. The dataset represents occurrences of events including data corresponding to features. Event frame sizes are determined to generate insights on the dataset. Features from the occurrences of events are extracted corresponding to the determined event frame sizes. The extracted features are represented as feature abbreviations corresponding to a context. The feature abbreviations with high frequency of occurrence are identified. Rules are generated based on the identified feature abbreviations. Weights are associated to the feature abbreviations variably. Here, the association of weights is based on frequency of occurrence of feature abbreviations in the rules. The features corresponding to feature abbreviations are displayed as insights on the dataset. The displayed features correspond to a high probability of occurrence of the event of interest.
Strategy parameters and weights associated with the strategy parameters are received in a predictive analytics application to dynamically rank entities. Raw values associated with the strategy parameters are normalized by applying transformation functions to get normalized values. Based on the normalized values and the weights associated with the strategy parameters, weighted normalized values are computed. Based on the weighted normalized values aggregate scores are computed. The entities based on the computed aggregate score are dynamically ranked. The dynamically ranked entities in descending order of aggregate scores are displayed in a user interface of the predictive analytics application.

I feel a little stirring lately. I'm feeling CURIOUS about something – and curiosity is the universe's invitation.
I think I'm ready to dip my toe into the waters of international poverty activism. I'm nervous about it, though. Since I don't know what the hell I'm doing. I'll definitely say all the wrong things. And because every time I try to be an activist of any kind I always prove to be more of a distractivist. It's always: OH MY GOD THE PAIN THE DEVASTATION I AM GOING TO DO ALL THE THINGS TO SAVE THE WORLD FOREVER AND EVER AND OH LOOK, A BIRD! I'M THIRSTY. I should go to Target. NEW PILLOWCASES! Sigh.
Still. Even so. This seems like the Next Right Thing, so I'm going to start asking questions and paying attention: slowly and careful and with great humility and all of my ridiculousness and ignorance and distraction and privilege. And then I'm just going to occasionally read and share stories about what I learn with you. I'm a storyteller, so I'll just start activating that way.
To be very clear – I know you and I know you're ALREADY DOING ENOUGH – too much, likely. So I won't add anything to your plate. Every once in a while we'll just read a special story together and maybe let our hearts and minds open wider and soften deeper. That's all. We're just going to try to let it in. And then maybe miracles will happen or maybe the sharing and reading and opening and softening are miracles enough.
Or maybe it'll work like this: Maybe we'll read a story about a guy building schools all over the world or an organization working to get kids clean drinking water and that'll get us thinking. Maybe instead of succumbing to guilt or despair we'll choose gratitude instead. And maybe that gratitude will offer us a new perspective on our day. Maybe we'll take it easier on ourselves because we'll realize: Our Kids Are Fine. There are kids who really, really aren't- but since our kids have food and water and school and at least one person who loves them- they'll probably be okay. So maybe we'll relax a little. And that relaxing gratitude will allow us to offer an extra smile to a tired mama or a lonely grandpa or a struggling cashier at the mall later. And maybe that's enough. So that's the way we'll do it- we'll subtract worries before we add them. This is our kind of activism. It is slow but real. It is small but true.
Here are two heart-opening things for you today. Toe in the water.
I just finished Adam Braun's book, The Promise of a Pencil. This guy. He builds schools all over the world for otherwise invisible children, you guys. And he writes about his passions and his BIG LOVE for the world so beautifully. He writes about small decisions his parents made raising him that led him down the road of reckless Love he walks everyday. Also he's gorgeous but that is not valid at all here, Glennon, because he is engaged and you are MARRIED and THIS IS ABOUT THE CHILDREN. For theloveofallthatisholyFocusUpDISTRACTIVIST! Anyway -I believe in Adam and I ordered his book because it's GOOD, and because he is Good and because every penny Pencils of Promise makes goes back into the schools Adam builds. He's a builder of goodness, this guy.
You know how I feel about water. Water and books. Just give me water in any form and books of any kind and a jar of peanut butter (crunchy, please) and come back in a year to check on me.
Turns out that kids are dying right now all over the globe because they don't have clean water to drink. We all know it but we don't say it much because well, it's all just so excruciatingly impossible to think about. Let's try something different. Let's try saying it and see what happens. Let's resist the instinct to hide from the brutal and remember that ALL THE BEAUTY IN THE WORLD HAPPENS WHEN FOLKS RUN TOWARDS THE BRUTAL INSTEAD OF AWAY.
As a small way of running towards the brutal, I've accepted an invitation. A relief and development organization called Church World Service has invited me to come and learn about World Water Day by being part of a live, online discussion they are having about water on Saturday. A Google+ "Hangout." Church World Service is an organization made up of some amazing people doing extraordinary work, so I've decided I can do this. I can Hangout. I can hangout and ask questions of these inspiring people doing the on-the-ground work across the globe to get families clean water to drink. I can be ignorant and distracted and privileged and still activate a little.
And you can join me. The Hangout is scheduled for 7 pm EDT on Saturday, March 22, but you can check it out now and RSVP to let us know that you want to be a part of it, too. Let's mark World Water Day by listening and asking questions and learning a little bit about this emergency and what we can do to help. I'll tell you right now we can't fix it. But that's not our job, is it? Our job is to keep our hearts open and soft so that we'll be ready when the ONE LITTLE THING we CAN DO makes itself known.
That's all for today. Thanks for getting your toes wet with me.

Quote of the Week
From Ian Bell in the Glasgow Herald (10 January):
"On Saturday the Daily Telegraph, or some other sane and rational paper, reported triumphantly that the BBC had received 50,000 complaints over the broadcasting of a musical with salt on its tongue. In a country with a population of roughly 59 million, that's 0.0848% of all available righteous indignation."

The Trailer For Insidious: The Last Key Has Materialized! *Insert Witticism*
Hello nerds!
May I present to you the official trailer for Insidious: The Last Key; Chapter 4 for those of you who are keeping score at home. In the latest prequel to try and jump scare the shit out of us, we join psychic Elise and her intrepid sidekicks as they load up in an RV and head out west to bust some ghosts in... wait for it... Elise's childhood home. BAH BAH BUMMMMMMMM!
I'm definitely onboard for more of Lin Shaye battling demons that are so terrifying they would have me routinely shitting in my sweatpants from fear. Don't judge. The Insidious franchise has arguably gotten better with each sequel/prequel that's come out, with Chapter 3 being my favorite of the lot. So, I've been looking forward to this latest installment for some time. Unfortunately, due to the film's released being postponed a tad, we'll all have to wait a little longer than anticipated.
The film's original release date had it coming out just in time for Halloween, but now we have to wait until after the new year. Sad I know, but we're coming up on horror season so it's not all frowny faces here and lima beans.
Insidious: The Last Key creeps its way into theaters January 5, 2018.

Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has said that the recent complaint by petrol marketers about their inability to get enough foreign currencies, especially the United States dollar, for product importation in recent times, was strange.
The Executive Secretary, Depot and Petroleum Products Marketers Association (DAPPMA), Mr. Olufemi Adewole, had said that importers of refined petroleum products were grappling with forex shortage, which was affecting the implementation of product purchase agreements.
However , the CBN spokesperson, Mr. Ibrahim Muazu said that the said the marketers were on CBN's priority list of forex users and could not be denied needed funds for petroleum products importation..
Muazu said if the country was in a crisis situation in terms of forex availability, the pressure would have been felt at the interbank foreign exchange market.
Eni looking to sell Nigerian assets amid oil price drop
Eni SpA, Italy's largest oil company and owner of Nigerian Agip Oil Co. is considering selling part or all of its onshore Nigerian operations as it seeks to divest peripheral businesses amid a drop in oil prices.
Eni Chief Executive Officer Claudio Descalzi announced plans to sell assets worth 8 billion euros ($8.8 billion) in 2015-2018, including shares in subsidiaries Galp Energia SGPS and Snam SpA.
He also proposed a 17 percent cut in investment over the same four years compared to previous plans to adjust to lower prices
According to Descalzi ,Eni has asked advisers to look at options for the assets, which include interests in oil and natural-gas fields in the West African country.
' Depending on what Eni decides to sell, the transaction may raise from $2 billion to $5 billion. It could also decide to keep the operations'. Descalzi stated.
Eni's wholly owned subsidiary in the country, Nigerian Agip Oil Co., operates under a joint-venture agreement with Nigeria's state oil company NNPC and ConocoPhillips. NAOC also operates two onshore exploration licenses

The phrase that keeps running through my mind, the phrase that best describes my day, the cliche that best fits the moment is "I'm getting too old for this shit."
I started 3 classes today, and it was a very last minute deal, like I did not know when I woke up this morning that this would happen. That's life in the fast paced world of teaching English in Prague. It was at an elementary school in Chodov, and the first class was pretty good. Cute kids for the most part, but as I was trying to introduce myself to the kids on one side of the room, the chatter was rising on the other. I tried to keep it pretty fast paced, not to freeze the class out while talking to any one individual, but then you always have the one kid who freezes up on a question like "how old are you?" and you tell him it's O.K. to answer in Czech and he's still silent and the other kids are coming over and telling him what to say and he's completely gone catatonic so you have to just move on.
The hardest part was between classes, though. The school has this insane system that I have to go classroom to classroom looking for the kids that are in the English group and then shepherd them through the hallways to 'my' classroom. A teacher went with me today, but this is going to be confusing as hell for a few weeks until I get all my students memorized.
The second class was older, and also for the most part well behaved, except for one little boy who seemed to take great pride in ignoring all my questions and getting the rest of the class to laugh about it.
It was the 3rd class where all hell broke loose. They just came in determined to raise hell, a bunch of crazed 8 and 9 year olds, putting tape on my back, lying to me about their names, refusing to sit down or be quiet, fighting with each other, pleading to go to the bathroom, I know all those damned kids didn't need to pee at once.
By the end of it I was whacked, drained emotionally and physically. But I'm looking forward to next week.

2016 marks our 75th anniversary and we could not be more excited. As part of our celebration, we will be featuring two employees a week beginning August 19th, thru our anniversary party on October 16th. Be sure to check back regularly and read up on our beloved employees who help make Gene and Georgetti the place it is today!
Do you have a nickname at Gene & Georgetti? If so, what is it?
Colorin, a Spanish word which means bright color. The Chicago staff says my face turns a bright color red when emotional.
Job Title
Managing Partner
Years with Gene & Georgetti
24 years (feels like 2 years)
Favorite Gene & Georgetti Menu Item
Too many to list but I love the Strip Steak.
One fun fact people may not know about you?
Over the course of my life when I had hair, I have had a luxurious perm, a rockin Mohawk, and a classic rat-tail.
What's one memory, at Gene & Georgetti or outside of it, that you treasure most?
1) One night, Billy Cristal came in after his concert and all the kitchen staff had already gone home. Jose, a server, and I cooked for him; of course he loved it.
2) A couple of years ago, Will Ferrell was in town and during his afternoon run, he poked his head into the restaurant like only he could do. He looked around, smiled and left. Later that night, he came back for dinner with his family to celebrate his wife's birthday and we had some laughs about the afternoon run.

Odds Overview
Just hours removed from the 2013/14 BCS Championship, Bovada has released their early futures list for next year.
Florida State tops the list at a price of +550, with Alabama, Stanford, Ohio State and Oregon close behind. You can find a rundown of the top contenders right here.
Who's Gone and Who Returns?
Jameis Winston will be back. Does anyone else matter?
Well yes, of course. But Winston's return is huge and the Heisman Trophy winner will try to be even more proficient than he was during Florida State's unbeaten and title-winning season.
Winston threw for 4057 yards (and ran for another 219) and ended up throwing four times as many touchdowns (40) as he did interceptions (10). It's scary to think how much more efficient he could possibly get.
Behind him Winston could have running backs Devonta Freeman, Karlos Williams and James Wilder Jr. all return for their senior years. Those three combined for over 2300 rushing yards and a whopping 33 touchdown runs in 2013/14.
Senior wideout Kenny Shaw won't be back, while there's a good chance Rashad Greene and the 6'5" Kelvin Benjamin, who scored the winning touchdown in the title game, will declare for the draft. Offensive linemen Cameron Erving and Bryan Stork will be big losses.
Defensively, Florida State loses a lot of key personnel, including Christian Jones, Telvin Smith, LaMarcus Joyner, Timmy Jernigan (likely) and Terrence Brooks, but top-notch kicker Roberto Aguayo will be back.
Incoming Freshmen
The ranking depends on the recruiting site you use, but most outlets we've checked have Florida State with the #4 overall recruiting class for 2014. Obviously they're number one in the ACC.
Dalvin Cook, a five-star running back recruit, snubbed Florida and has committed to the Seminoles. Ranked in the top 15 nationally, he could immediately contribute, though he'll have a lot of competition in an already crowded backfield. The rich only get richer.
There are a bunch of four-star recruits in the mix as well, so Florida State is going to be loaded once more, regardless of who they lose to the draft.
The Schedule
We get a nice early treat when Florida State opens against Oklahoma State in Arlington, Texas. We should get a great idea of what to expect from the 2014/15 Seminoles right at the start of the season.
From there, Florida State will have challenging games on the road at Louisville and at home versus Notre Dame and Clemson. Closing out the regular season we'll see the Seminoles do battle with Florida in Tallahassee.
As you can see, there are at least a couple tough matchups (at least on the surface) on the agenda, but overall it's not the most difficult of schedules for the champs.
Our Verdict
Winston should be even better as a sophomore, but we're interested to see who he's surrounded by come September. Even if Florida State loses some playmakers, they have the depth to cover the holes.
The Seminoles are going to be force once again, we but see an SEC team returning to the top next season. Alabama, Auburn and even the likes of LSU and Georgia will be formidable foes, and let's not forget about Oregon and Stanford out west either.
Still, in a weak division and with an exploitable schedule, Florida State is going to be challenging for another undefeated year. Will they make it two national championships in a row? Sportsbooks are giving them an excellent chance of repeating.
