Tomorrow I'm off to a special screening of the new film The Secret Life of Walter Mitty with a friend.
A different London based friend of mine works in the film industry, and is in between the distributors and the cinemas. He's gone off to a Scout Camp this weekend, so wondered if I wanted his tickets to go to the screening, hosted by Dolby Laboratories.
Whilst it means that I'm getting up at 8:30am on a Saturday, it does mean I'm in the big Odeon Cinema in Leicester Square, with the possibility of lots of freebies!

Once the input/parameter uncertainties have been quantitatively characterized, various methods can be used to propagate the impact ofthese uncertainties through to the model output predictions ofinterest. The most appropriate propagation method depends on how the modeler wishes to describe the model prediction uncertainty. If a complete approximation of the model output PDF is desired, then some type of Monte Carlo simulation or sampling approach is needed. The propagation method also depends on whether the input/parameter uncertainties were conditioned to measured calibration data, and the dashed text boxes in Figure 3 highlight that a specific
Monte Carlo sampling experiment is required for propagation with the MCMC or GLUE uncertainty approaches. If no calibration data were used, then more traditional methods of uncertainty propagation can be utilized.
The most commonly used method for uncertainty propagation is Monte Carlo simulation. The purpose of Monte Carlo simulation is to obtain a distribution of the model output(s), given distributions of the inputs (e.g., forcing functions, model parameters, boundary conditions). This is achieved by sampling repeatedly from the input distributions and calculating the corresponding model output(s). As part of the sampling process, different realizations (e.g., combinations) of inputs are obtained, resulting in different model outputs. If this process is repeated for a sufficient number of iterations, very accurate distributions of model outputs are obtained. The number of iterations required varies, but is generally in the order of 5000-10 000. As part of the sampling process, the correlation structure between the inputs can be taken into account. The main drawback of Monte Carlo simulation is its computational inefficiency. The computational burden of Monte Carlo simulation can be reduced by using specialized, rather than random, sampling techniques, such as Latin hyper-cube and importance sampling.
When the distribution of outputs need not be fully approximated, there are alternatives to Monte Carlo sampling that can be more efficient for uncertainty propagation. For example, if approximating the moments of the model outputs is deemed sufficient, then first- or second-order approximations of the moments of the output distribution based on a Taylor series expansion can be used (Figure 3). Such approximations are typically much more computationally efficient than Monte Carlo simulation. First-order approximations of the model output mean and variance are often called firstorder error analysis or Gaussian approximation. Firstorder approximations are not usually appropriate for highly nonlinear ecological models. Approximate reliability analysis methods are another typically more efficient alternative to Monte Carlo simulation when modelers are only concerned with estimating whether model predictions are above or below some threshold value (this is equivalent to defining one point on the cumulative distribution function of the model output). Example methods include the mean and advanced first-and second-order second moment reliability methods. The accuracy of these approximate reliability methods is case-study dependent and often poor for highly nonlinear ecological models.
In the case where calibration data are used to describe input/parameter uncertainties, uncertainty propagation is usually achieved by sampling from the input/parameter vectors identified as part of the
GLUE or MCMC analysis. These vectors are generally a direct characterization of the joint posterior distribution of uncertain inputs/parameters, which cannot be described analytically for the vast majority of ecological models.
After uncertainty propagation, and depending on the methodology used, the sampled outputs can be described with empirical or fitted probability distributions and/or sample moments. The output distributions can also be used to estimate various risk-based system performance indicators, as discussed previously.

In April of this year, U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Nicholas Brady announced a 180-degree turn in American policy toward Third World debtor countries.
From the onset of the debt crisis in 1982 until Brady's about-face, the United States had steadfastly insisted that the way to deal with Third World debt was not to cancel it, but for the countries to grow their way out of the problem - assisted by new loans organized by the International Monetary Fund.
In future, Brady said, the United States would favor plans aimed at reducing debt; the resources of the IMF, the World Bank, and other official agencies would be used to promote schemes that cancelled part of the debt instead of rounding up new capital.
How is the Brady approach doing? The answer is typical of economic policy in these eerily calm times: It is doing well enough to avoid an immediate crisis, but the really hard tests still lie ahead. Brady's decision to reverse more than six years of debt policy and to abandon the so-called Baker Plan, which was introduced with much fanfare in 1985, reflected a judgment that most other players in the debt game had reached earlier: The strategy of growing out of debt was not working.
The clearest verdict was given by the marketplace. In the past few years a substantial secondary market in Third World debt has emerged in which banks sell off their claims to more optimistic investors or to countries that are buying back their debt.
Prices in this market have steadily declined, until by early this year the average price of the debt of troubled Third World nations was only 30 cents on the dollar. Whatever hopeful noises that bank spokesmen might make, the secondary market showed that they did not expect to get much of what they were owed.
With old debt selling at only a fraction of its face value, it also became impossible to attract new capital to debtor nations. The only entities that would lend to problem debtors were official agencies such as the World Bank and the IMF. Private capital moved the other way.
A major consideration in the shift in debt strategy was the realization that private investors in general, and banks in particular, were increasingly pulling out of the Third World, shifting the risk on to the taxpayers of the lending countries.
And so the new debt strategy was announced. The approach that Brady originally proposed was one of "voluntary," or to give a more accurate description, market-based debt reductions.
The basic idea was that the IMF, the World Bank and others (mostly the Japanese) would lend money to troubled debtors with which they could buy back their debt on the secondary market.
More complicated schemes, such as using hard currency to guarantee debt in return for interest reductions, might stretch the money a little further.
Within a few weeks after Brady's speech, however, this idea was quietly shelved. Calculations both inside the U.S. government and at the World Bank showed that buybacks of debt would be too expensive to be feasible.
There just wasn't enough public money available to permit a significant debt reduction, even at current highly depressed secondary market prices. The sums of money available would look even less adequate if, as one would expect, the effort to buy back debt drove prices up.
At this point the Brady Plan was starting to look like an embarrassing failure. Why hadn't Brady done his homework and found out whether there was enough money before announcing his plan?
(Washington gossip reports that Brady, like his predecessor James Baker, is in the habit of making policy without consulting his own staff, let alone other parts of government.)
The Mexicans chose to hear what they liked in Brady's proposal - U.S. approval for debt reduction - and to ignore what they didn't like - the principle that such debt reduction would be voluntary.
Shortly after the Brady speech, Mexican negotiators headed for the United States to demand a sharp reduction in their debt to commercial banks, with nothing voluntary about it.
Some people will claim that this was really what U.S. policy makers wanted from the beginning, that the initial emphasis on market-based solutions was nothing but ideological window dressing. But seemingly foolish statements by government should usually be taken at face value.
Only people who have never seen government decision-making from close up imagine that officials who seem naive in public have sophisticated hidden agendas.
Be that as it may, over the summer the original, essentially silly, Brady proposal evolved in the Mexican case into a fairly sensible solution. Creditors and debtors negotiated a debt reduction, with a small amount of official money thrown in to sweeten the pot.
It took months of hard negotiation to arrive at the Mexican debt package, details of which are still being worked out. Neither side got what it wanted, which is a good sign.
The Mexicans got a much smaller debt reduction than they wanted, and it is quite likely that they will be back for more in a couple of years. The banks found that U.S. promises that debt reduction would be voluntary had evaporated.
Each bank was given a choice between reducing its claims and lending substantial additional money to Mexico. But the option of doing neither was ruled out, and banks are not pleased with the rather modest value of guarantees provided by the World Bank et al.
The deal has left everyone unhappy, but for the moment the important thing is that a deal was reached, and that the new U.S. strategy of debt reduction is off to an acceptable start.
The question now is whether the Mexican debt deal can be used as a model for other debtor countries. Here the prospects are more dubious.
Mexico is in many ways the ideal problem debtor. It is run by a group of reformist technocrats who have been following sound fiscal policies and opening up markets. The Mexican government is therefore both deserving of and in a position really to use debt relief.
And Mexico's border with the United States makes it easier to justify substantial public commitment to helping its economy.
It is hard to think of other major debtors in equally good positions. Argentina hasn't been servicing its debt for quite a while, and it still has multimillion per cent annual inflation, so it's hard to see that debt relief will do it much good.
Brazil is following Argentina's path, a few paces behind. Venezuela is the least deserving of debtors, having created its debt problem entirely through irresponsible policies and capital flight.
So it is far too early to call the Brady Plan a success. Nonetheless, the first round has not gone as badly as one might have feared.

Every business is different, and so is every business owner. This is why we perform a scan of your business that also shows the risks that it is faced with, risks which may lie in a range of areas. We catalogue these risks, including their potential financial implications. We then devise solutions to deal with the various risks. These may be organisational or insurance-based solutions. If an insurance policy proves to be the best solution, we negotiate with the insurers to get the best price and conditions for our clients.
However, that's not all we do. We repeat this work every year for you. After all, a business changes all the time. Apart from repeating this process, we discuss a number of potential emergency scenarios with the business owner. What should be done about consequential loss? What happens if a supplier stops supplying? Or what if a buyer sets stringent requirements for the corporate liability insurance? By discussing these scenarios with the business owner beforehand, we ensure that for any emergency, a business can resume its core tasks as soon as possible, whether these be producing, transporting or advising.

Stress Higher In Children With Depressed Parents
Medically reviewed by: Marilyn Folk, BScN.
Updated March 28, 2019
Children with depressed parents get stressed out more easily than children with healthy parents—if the depressed parents are negative toward their child. That's the conclusion of a study published in an upcoming issue of Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science.
The study is part of a long-term look at how a child's early temperament is related to the risk for depression. The children were recruited for the study when they were three years old, an age when depression is rare. Thus, the researchers expect to see depression appear as the children grow.
At the time of this study, the children were three years old and none of them had shown signs of depression. Instead, the researchers were measuring how much the children were upset by stressful situations. The study was by Lea Dougherty of the University of Maryland and Daniel N. Klein, Suzanne Rose, and Rebecca S. Laptook of Stony Brook University.
In one test, the experimenter brought the child into the room and then left them alone saying they'd forgotten something. Then a male stranger comes into the room, talks to the child, and approaches them. This makes most kids nervous. Other tests were more geared at frustration. For example, giving the child an appealing toy locked in a clear box, and then giving them keys that don't fit the lock or giving them an empty box all wrapped up like a present. "After each one of these, you come back in, and you're like, 'Oh, my gosh, I forgot the present! Here it is,'" Dougherty says. "Everything's kind of remedied." In between the stress tests, the children had fun with the experimenter, playing toys and doing more fun tests.
Twenty or 30 minutes after each stress test, the experimenter took a saliva sample from the child to measure their levels of the stress hormone cortisol. During another visit, researchers observed a parent, usually the mom, reading a book to the child and doing a task together. They looked at how the two interacted, including hostility—any frustration, anger, annoyance, or critical comments were observed. "Any type of negativity that's directed at you from your caregiver in this type of context is very meaningful information," Dougherty says.
The researchers found that kids who had the biggest stress response were those whose mothers had been depressed at some point in the child's three years of life and whose parents were hostile when playing with their children. The researchers didn't see enough fathers to get a sense of how they interact with children, and depression was less common among dads, too.
These conclusions are only about stress, but stress is a risk factor for depression. This could show one way in which a parent's depression could lead to depression in the child. Children may also inherit depression with their parents' genes, Dougherty says, but this suggests another way that parents can affect their child. "I think it's actually quite hopeful, because, if we focus on the parenting, we could really intervene early and help parents with chronic depression when they have kids," Dougherty says.

Missouri steamrolls Wyoming after slow start
Drew Lock totaled 441 all-purpose yards and five all-purpose touchdowns to lead Missouri to a second-straight win.
Sep. 08, 2018
Holding onto a 3-0 lead at the Wyoming 12-yard line, Drew Lock scrambled to his left, broke a tackle and then cut inside a Wyoming defender.
Lock unleashed some rarely seen mobility and galloped across the goaline to give Missouri the first touchdown of the game late in the second quarter. The senior quarterback would finish with 51 yards and a touchdown on the ground and 398 yards and four touchdowns through the air to guide Missouri to a 40-13 win over Wyoming on Saturday night.
"I just felt the red sea split," Lock said. "Coach Dooley was in my head the whole time saying: 'Don't change your angle when you leave the pocket, keep the straight angle, let the defense adjust to you,' and then when it comes to a point where you have to make a guy miss that's when you make your move."
Lock's legs kickstarted the sputtering offense and started Missouri on six straight scoring drives after it stalled offensively for the majority of the first half.
A Terez Hall forced fumble turned into a missed field goal by junior Tucker McCann and a 22-yard punt gave the Tigers the ball at midfield, but that field position was squandered after a three-and-out brought out Corey Fatony and the punting unit.
Missouri got onto the scoreboard when McCann redeemed himself by drilling a career-long 50-yard field goal to give the Tigers a 3-0 lead in the first quarter.
But Missouri's offense would stall again. Albert Okwuegbunam had the ball ripped out of his hands to end a drive near midfield, and McCann put a 49-yard kick wide left to end another drive empty-handed.
Lock would get the offense on track at the end of the second quarter. After Lock's rushing score, he faced a third-and-7, escaped the pocket and scampered up the left sideline before mowing over a Wyoming cornerback Antonio Hull to keep a drive alive around midfield.
After the play, Lock stood up and chirped at Hull to rile up the Missouri sideline.
"We hadn't been playing up to our standard as far as finishing drives," Lock said. "So I needed to kind of poke the bear, I needed to poke us to get our offense rolling, get a little fire, get a little juice behind us and if it takes me talking some smack, I'm going to do it to get us all fired up."
That drive would end with a 19-yard touchdown pass across the middle to Okwuegbunam that gave Missouri a 16-0 lead at halftime, even after a hectic scramble on the missed extra point.
After a 28-yard touchdown pass to senior Emanuel Hall gave Missouri a 23-0 lead, the Tigers were off and running for their second blowout win in as many weeks.
Wyoming had safety Andrew Wingard roam over the top of the defense, leaving Hall with one-on-one coverage.
"A lot of teams just think our cover guys can cover your guy," Hall said. "And I take that as a personal thing, if you can beat me one-on-one than show me."
Hall showed more versatile route-running this week, catching a career-high 10 passes for 171 yards. Hall's catches included slants and comebacks that added to his usual go-routes.
"It shows the myth that I can't run routes is gone because I can," Hall said. "I'm glad in this game it showed something different."
The defense put together a second-straight impressive performance, limiting Wyoming to 84 yards in a scoreless first half on the way to holding the Cowboys to 248 total yards.
Senior linebacker Terez Hall led the defense with five tackles and had continuous pressure on Wyoming signal-caller Tyler Vander Waal. Hall registered two quarterback hits and added a forced fumble in the first quarter.
Senior defensive tackle Terry Beckner Jr. also added two tackles for loss and led a defensive line that plugged up holes in the run game.
Senior linebacker Brandon Lee added four tackles but was ejected for targeting in the third quarter after a targeting penalty. Lee will now miss the first half in next week's game against Purdue.
Missouri will now look to avenge last season's 35-3 loss to Purdue when it travels to West Lafayette, Indiana next Saturday.

Stock Exchange release April 28, 2006 12:01:02 PM CET
Metso Corporation's Interim Review, January 1 - March 31, 2006:Strong order backlog and profit performance continued in first quarter
Highlights of the first quarter
- New orders worth EUR 1,437 million were received in January-March, i.e. 32 percent more than in the corresponding period last year (EUR 1,089 million in Q1/05).
- The order backlog from continuing operations grew by 15 percent from the end of 2005 and was EUR 2,692 million at the end of March (EUR 2,350 million at Dec. 31, 2005).
- Net sales increased by 21 percent and totaled EUR 1,078 million (EUR 894 million in Q1/05).
- Operating profit was EUR 95.4 million, i.e. 8.8 percent of net sales (EUR 54.7 million and 6.1% in Q1/05).
- Net cash generated by operating activities was EUR 169 million (EUR 123 million in Q1/05).
- Return on capital employed (ROCE) was 20.2 percent (12.4% in Q1/05).
- Earnings per share were EUR 0.47 (EUR 0.26 in Q1/05)
Metso's first-quarter profit before taxes almost doubled to EUR 88 million from the corresponding period last year. All business areas - but most of all Metso Minerals - improved their results.
The growth in orders received continued to be brisk; nearly a third more orders were received in the first quarter than in the corresponding period last year. Growth came evenly from Metso Paper, Metso Minerals and Metso Automation. Metso's order backlog at the end of March was 15 percent higher than at the end of 2005 and 40 percent higher than at the end of March 2005.
"We have had a strong start for 2006 in Metso. Our growth and profitability in the first quarter clearly exceeded the performance in January-March last year - and year 2005 was, so far, the best in Metso's history," Jorma Eloranta, President and CEO of Metso Corporation notes.
According to Eloranta, the good performance was based on the strong order backlog at the end of 2005 and the continuing favorable market situation. Additionally, the efficiency improvement measures and development programs carried out in Metso have a positive effect on the profitability.
"One of the goals for this strategy period is to increase our net sales by 10 percent annually. To achieve this goal we have taken actions to strengthen our sales and service network and to make our sales processes more efficient. In January-March our net sales increased by 21 percent over the comparison period," Eloranta says.
"We estimate that both in terms of net sales and profitability, we will in 2006 clearly exceed last year's performance," Eloranta says.
Short-term outlook
The favorable market situation is expected to continue in the civil engineering, mining and energy industries in 2006. Pulp and paper industry demand is expected to remain at least as satisfactory as in 2005.
Of Metso Paper's products, the market prospects for new paper and board machines are the strongest in Asia. In Europe, demand will be focused on rebuilds of small and medium-size machines. In North America, while some rebuild projects are pending, the uncertainty prevailing in the sector is postponing decision-making. The markets for both new tissue machines and tissue machine rebuilds are good. The markets for new fiber lines are expected to remain active in South America and good in Asia.
The demand for Metso Minerals' equipment related to aggregates production is expected to remain good in the construction and civil engineering sector, due to road network development projects and other infrastructure investments. The demand for mining industry and metal recycling equipment is expected to remain strong. The large mining companies are continuing to plan and implement extensive investments.
Metso Automation's market situation is expected to remain good in the energy, oil and gas industry and satisfactory in the pulp and paper industry.
It is estimated that in 2006 Metso Corporation's net sales will grow by over 10 percent and operating profit will clearly surpass the operating profit in 2005.
The estimates concerning Metso's net sales and operating profit do not include any changes resulting from acquisitions or divestitures, and they are based on the current order backlog and market outlook.
Metso is a global engineering and technology corporation with 2005 net sales of approximately EUR 4.2 billion. Its 22 000 employees in more than 50 countries serve customers in the pulp and paper industry, rock and minerals processing, the energy industry and selected other industries.

Nearly 100 photos stored in a box at the Walter Reuther Library at Wayne State University are leaving employees wondering who the kids in the pictures are.
"They're stunning images but more than being beautiful examples of photography they're these children. We'd like to know who they were," says Elizabeth Clemens, audiovisual archivist.
The photos were taken in the late 1930s and early 1940s. They capture images of children living on the near east side. We're talking paradise valley, black bottom and brush park. And if you've never heard of these neighborhoods it's because they don't really exist anymore. They were basically wiped out by I -75.
"I think there's a really large hole in our historic record locally. A lot of places didn't really collect the history of African Americans. Even if it's just finding out the name of a child in a photograph we want to record as much as possible while we can," says Clemens. "It's not the famous people, the people we all know but they're equally important in their own way."
If you have any idea who these kids are, you can contact the Walter Reuther Library.

Joy is the source of delight (see Day 3).
Joy is what lies underneath all other emotions no matter what happens or what you are feeling. The word joy originates from the word rejoice. It's being in the power, in the flow of Spirit.
A delight in being alive! Joy is a Spiritual practice to tap into with faith, grace, hope and love.
When we feel abundance, pleasure and happiness, we are in joy. This feeling that underlies all other feelings can be brought forth at any time, be felt anytime (even in times of sorrow) and be celebrated!
Dance for joy, jump for joy are common maxims. There is no greater joy then moving the body, clearing the mind and finding ecstatic joy! The Sufi would twirl for joy.
In the Holiday Season, we can experience highs and lows. Find your joy this Season.
The challenge of today is to find a little joy. Put on some favorite music and jump, dance or twirl for joy.
"The joy of a spirit is the measure of its power." ~Ninon de Lenclos, French courtesan (1620 – 1705)
"I define joy as a sustained sense of well-being and internal peace – a connection to what matters." ~Oprah Winfrey, O Magazine, US actress & television talk show host (1954 – )
"Learning to live in the present moment is part of the path of joy." ~Sarah Ban Breathnach
Much joy to you!

18 ways to organise your kitchen
Make the most of your space
COVID-19 - The latest updates from Surgu Find out more
Original Formula
Pot lids are one of those everyday items we don't often think about... until the day they break. The handles just have a nasty habit or coming loose and breaking, making them unusable.
Using some Sugru and the handle you already have, you can easily reattach it and have it back in the kitchen in no time.
Sugru is perfect for this job as it bonds to most materials, including glass and is also heat resistant up to +180°C so it can cope with life on the stove. Once cured, Sugru is easy to clean with soap and water, and it's dishwasher safe too!
Top Tip: If you're feeling imaginative, why not try creating your own unique handle, like Janet did using Sugru and a granite pebble!
If you like this fix, you'll love some of the other clever ways Sugru can improve your kitchen.

Ear Mites in Dogs and Cats
Ear mites are small parasites that live on an animal's body, particularly in the ears of dogs and cats. Ear mites sustain themselves by eating skin cells, blood, and earwax. They deposit their waste (a dark, crusty debris) in the ear of the host animal. They also mate and produce eggs in the ear of the host. The mite's entire life cycle is only about 3 weeks, and the mite spends its whole life on the animal. Ear mites are contagious to some other animals (for example, cats, dogs, and ferrets), but they are not contagious to humans.Read More

And here we go again.
Another 12 in 12 card.
Made this guy almost entirely with Avery Elle's Let It Snow stamp set. Just plain love the stamp set!
I created the snow by stamping set's snow background stamp on the panel. Then, I pulled out my old, long-forgotten friend, my bottle of white Liquid Applique. I put little dots on top, heated them up with my heat gun and got the little pom poms of snow.
Kinda fun, right?
So that concludes Day 6! Can't wait to see what Ashley cooked up for our "half-way through the challenge" day!
Be back again tomorrow.

Isn't it always the case that when you aren't shopping for yourself, you always see loads you want to buy? I was in New Look and H&M the other week, looking for baby clothes and various presents for friends and all I could see were items I wanted for myself. One such thing, was this cute little bag from New Look (£10). I am hugely in love with pearls. Not because they happen to be in fashion just now, but I've always adored the look of them. This bag caught my eye due to the massive pearl handles. The bag itself is pretty standard, black with a bow, and it's pretty unusual that I go for anything other than a clutch, but those handles are making go crazy for it!

With an ever-growing list of Belfast, Dublin and London's most prestigious technology employers, including Tier 1 banks, Magic Circle Law firms, Big 4 consultancies and a number of new foreign investment companies, Hayward Hawk offers candidates a wide variety of opportunities to advance their career.
James Caan CBE, said, "The Hayward Hawk team have proven themselves,creating new jobs for Belfast and far exceeding expectations in their first 12 months. I am excited to see the next part of their expansion. Their refreshing personal approach with everyone they speak to, and across all aspects of the business, is what sets them apart, and the foundation to the company's success."
So, what's next?
Hayward Hawk Director,Stephen McDowell said, "We're a hard-working agency, with a forward-thinking approach to everything we do.

Scribe's Wand
My wand is God and Devil wood,
Kumaka tree wrapped around a Horned Serpant's shaved horn
Black Black magic fueled by ancestral soil soil soil soil soil and blood
Horned core to ground me here
North America is my home
Away from my home
Away from my home
But it is what I know best
My wand chose me to to to to to connect the three
My ancestors connecting connecting connecting connecting to my forefathers
Connecting Connecting Conn Connecting to me
We became parts of song spell unending
Conductor Conductor Conductor
Orchestrating change change change silently
Until the moment we need speak out
My wand felt me staring my oppressor in the eye
Canines bared bared bared smile deceitful disguise
It felt the tide of magic in me
A free man in chains
Waiting for the opportunity
To flee bloody into the night
My wand found me soaked in twilight
Body cauldron, blood blood blood boiling
The brightest parts of of of my nature
Casting casting casting shadows
To balance cosmic scales
Inheriting their weight
Creation and chaos are one face
We are pen and chisel
Dagger and pistol
Our magic is instrument
Violent vessel
Hard in soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft center
A low resonating note
Full of dangerous conviction
And critical vision
Willing to turn
Even on
It is so much older than I.
It's kind born in the era of Olympus
Placed in lake Lerna for Hercules to face
This descendant was born in a time of Colosseum grunge,
Gladiator glory
And civilian sacrifice
It's immortality based around (but not born from) Gospel truth
It's other heads around White lies
That multiply when challenged
Dearest beast, it is time to die
When I was dunked in the tank
Capsized into belief,
A piece of me flickered out
In the Lerna's murky water
The fire in me, more an ember
The Blackness of my coals
Unimportant, unwanted
In this white church
I came to question your honesty
See your many heads as duplicitous
Instead of resourceful
My faith confounded, corroding my solid rock
Knowing nothing suffering wholly I cursed Heaven
Demanding answers to my trials
My first trial my health
Your wicked ways my second
I block out the lie that told me Jesus was white
Two more take its place.
I ask my white siblings about police brutality.
They silently condemn me me me me my face
I retreat a fair distance
Leave Evangelicals
Under the rain of fiery arrows
The light finally brings you out in earnest
A Hydra
Even the blood of Christ, venom in you
I see your history in your scales
Slavery and death
Shame and restriction
The Vatican wrapping a healing factor
Inside white supremacist power
There is no good news in white Gospel
Your final bite
An attempt to subdue me with theology
Forgetting Heaven is a kingdom of hearts
I remind you
God and Love are the only masters I submit to
And you know neither.
I mark your immortal head
Leave it under a rock
To remind those who come across it
That even if I could not finish the job
This church is dead to me.

Currently: Nags Head
Duck Research Pier
Photo Gallery: "Hurricane Hermine Finally Delivers"
After Hurricane Hermine punched through Florida, it downgraded to a tropical storm packing winds around 50-70mph, then ripped through the Outer Banks Friday night into Saturday evening, leaving a few places flooded and about a million pine cones misplaced. For the most part, minimal damage was done on the Outer Banks here in town. Some hotel/restaurant signs were shattered, some shingles missing, a couple of fences blown over and miscellaneous debris thrown about. It could've been much worse. Luckily, now that the storm has passed, there's plenty of solid ground swell left over, the water temp is still mid 70's, the wind is perfect and just about every sandbar in town is breaking. The dominant wave height this morning was around 6' @ 11.4 seconds. Here's a few shots taken in Kill Devil Hills from this morning's session. Photographer: Brent Nultemeier

Where in the World? is our new occasional series in which Adam, The Daily Constitutional's Editor is logging the locations of his London Walkers.
"We meet people from all over the world, and I thought it would be fun to map them out to create a picture of where our London Walkers (and Daily Constitutionalists) come from.
We'll be breaking it down by English and Welsh counties, Scottish regions, Irish provinces, U.S States, Canadian provinces, Australian states, European, Asian, African and South American countries."
1. Texas
Thanks to Steve and Dustin and their group from Houston, Texas – they're the pioneers in our new series!
They joined us on both a Ghosts of the Old City and a Jack the Ripper walk. Here they are with Adam…
And here's the whole group…
Thanks for coming, guys, good to see you, have a safe trip home!
London, Texas…
• London, Texas, a community in Kimble County, has a population of around 180 people.
• The city of New London, in Rusk Country, Texas is considerably larger with a population nearer the 1000 mark.
• The U.S Ambassdor to the UK from 2001 – 2004 was a Texan – William Stamps Farish III, a Houstonian by birth.
• Texas had its own embassy in London from 1836 – 1845.
• (On a personal note) My friend Chas travels from Houston, Texas on an alarmingly regular basis to watch West Ham United play football. How's THAT for devotion? His wife Sharon helms the Tacos A Gogo restaurants in Houston. Their website is HERE.
A London Walk costs £9 – £7 concession. To join a London Walk, simply meet your guide at the designated tube station at the appointed time. Details of all London Walks can be found at www.walks.com.

Sports are a way to unite people. Athletes and fans from all over can bond over athletics. Whether you are a participator or spectator, average supporter or die hard fan, sporting events are a way to bring people together based on their interests or disinterests. There are some major sporting events that have brought people together in large numbers for years, and they have become important world events. Check out some of the most revered sporting events below!
World Cup
With soccer being the most popular sport worldwide, the FIFA World Cup makes an incredibly important event for many people. The tournament takes place in four year intervals. This June, watch as the excitement of the competition begins in Russia! The World Cup surpasses the Olympics in amount of views and followers, making it the most esteemed sports competition!
The Olympics
Often called the highest sports stage, the Olympics is an incredibly important sporting event. With the motto "Faster, Higher, Stronger," the Olympic games serve as a place for the greatest athletes from around the world to join together for intense competition, often breaking records every day. The Olympics offers twenty-eight different sports, and athletes range greatly in age, build, and background. The Games show a remarkable time of unity, and they only come around every four years!
The Super Bowl
The Super Bowl has developed into one of the single most important nights for sports. NFL games can be found on many TV's throughout the nation starting in late summer and coming to its peak on that fateful Sunday in February. People host parties at their homes, crowd into sports bars, and get ready to watch the action unfold. Some watch the game to see the famous advertisements or the halftime show. The Super Bowl was viewed by about 111 million people this year as the Eagles secured a win against the Patriots.
Kentucky Derby
Held on the first Saturday of May, the Kentucky Derby is the most attended horse race in America. People travel to Louisville, Kentucky in their finest fashions and fascinators to watch as thoroughbreds race 1 ¼ miles to victory. The Derby is the longest running event in the US, not even taking a hiatus during the World Wars. The Derby is known for its betting system that includes many different types of odds to try. Enjoy the "most exciting two minutes in sports" this year on Saturday, May 5th!
The Masters
The "tradition unlike any other" wrapped up this Sunday with a new champion, Patrick Reed. The Masters is a major event for golf fans, and it is still fun to watch for people just starting to understand the sports. The tournament in Augusta, Georgia has seen huge crowds over the years, and it has also seen history made for the sport several times. The players compete for the coveted green jacket. The tournament is full of classic traditions and competition that have kept people interested in the event since 1934!
The Tour de France
This 21-stage bike race spans over three weeks, and it has been running since 1903! About twenty teams with nine riders participate. On TV, you'll often see the lead biker donning a yellow shirt, racing through the beauty of France. The Tour de France is enjoyed by bike fanatics and average Joes alike. The race is famous for its remarkable scenery, passing through Pyrenees and the Alps, and the famous finish at the Champs-Elysees. Watch as the excitement starts on July 7th!
The NCAA Tournament
The Division I men's national championship has become a national holiday for some avid basketball fans across the nation. "March Madness" is a phrase heard on the news, on the streets, and even in our school! People can be found comparing brackets and discussing last night's game. The current champs are the boys of the Villanova team!
MLB World Series
The MLB World Series attracts about 20 million viewers each year! The championship takes place every year in the fall, and it is won through a best-of-seven playoff. In recent years, we have seen historic World Series wins. This past championship saw the Astros earn their first Commissioner's Trophy. In 2016, the Cubs won, ending their streak of 108 years without the championship title. Who knows what the next World Series will bring?
The Championships, Wimbledon in London is the oldest tournament in the world.Wimbledon is famous for its all grass courts and continued traditions, making it known as the most prestigious and classic tournament. This tennis major is famous for the dish of strawberries and cream and proper attire for spectators and players. Players wear all-white on the court, and the attire for spectators is nice, especially when the Royal family is in attendance. Make sure to catch the action of this year's tournament, starting July 2nd.
Boston Marathon
The Boston Marathon is the world's oldest annual marathon, as it did not take a break for the World Wars. The marathon generally sees about 500,000 spectators each year, and the number of participants is around 30,000. Runners from all over the world flock to New England to run the famous race. Support these runners on April 16th!

Regular maintenance is as important as footing materials used; failure to do so can cause unevenness, varying moisture levels, and compaction - all injury risks to horses.
More than 30 equine, veterinary and footing specialists from three continents gathered at a special two-day equine surfaces forum held at FEI headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, in July, to discuss standards for arena surfaces in jumping and its effects on the orthopaedic health of sport horses.
A consensus emerged that procedures regarding three components - the correct materials and design, proper installation and appropriate maintenance - will evolve into standards that can support manufacturers, educate show organizers and protect horses and riders.
Research has found that the performance of arena surfaces is characterized by the following:
Impact firmness: The shock experienced by the horse and rider when the hoof contacts the surface.
Cushioning: How much a surface is supportive compared to how much it gives when riding on it.
Responsiveness: How active or springy the surface feels to the rider.
Grip: How much the horses' foot slides during landing, turning and pushing off.
Uniformity: How regular the surface feels when the horse moves across it.
Consistency over time: How much the surface changes with time and use.
It was noted that, in recent years, there has been an increasing trend towards the use of artificial and synthetic surfaces rather than grass in competition arenas. Climate, year-round use, ease of maintenance, rider awareness of performance and injury risks and more readily-available surfaces composed of silica sand and other materials due to an increase in the number of manufacturers and suppliers are all factors in this shift.
Many top venues such as Spruce Meadows, Aachen and Hickstead, still opt for grass surfaces, however, which provide the horse with a more 'natural' footing. The functional properties are highly dependent on the quality of the root structure and the moisture content, and judicious maintenance is necessary to avoid compaction, which increases density and hardness. Poor-quality or overly-wet turf can lack 'shear resistance' (resistance of the surface to penetration) and necessitate the use of shoe studs.
A uniform, level base and adequate drainage are essential to arena construction. Perforated pipes dug deep into the ground are often used beneath the surface, with screened limestone (preferred), crushed concrete, or porous asphalt traditionally applied above. In areas with lower rainfall a clay base can be used. Woodchip or rubber beneath the top surface can provide additional shock absorption. Adequate drainage must be installed to ensure the surface recovers quickly from rainfall, but a surface that is too permeable will not be able to retain moisture during dry spells. Specialised drainage systems such as Equaflow™ and Ebb and Flow allow drained water to be re-added to the surface via a storage tank and automatic pump.
Surface maintenance involves watering, harrowing, levelling, rolling and/or grading, which will reduce compaction and improve or maintain consistency around the arena. Uneven surfaces, varying moisture content and compaction are associated with a higher risk of injury to horses.
Emerging evidence suggests that horses change their gait patterns based on even minor changes in surface preparation; therefore, regularly altering surface preparation can stimulate different gait patterns which can be beneficial to training and conditioning. Older horses or those with chronic conditions may benefit from only exercising on surfaces prepared to limit the development of further degenerative changes.

Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi is directed by Rian Johnson and stars Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Issac, Andy Serkis, Lupita Nyong'o, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, Gwendoline Christie, Kelly Marie Tran, Laura Dern, and Benicio del Toro. I am not going to tell you anything about the plot. I want you to go into it knowing as little as possible. The Last Jedi is an amazing movie. It's great to see a squeal that not only lives up to the hype but also surpasses the previous film. This is a unique Star Wars film that fits in with the saga but is also able to stand on its own. I think out of all the Star Wars films this one takes the most risks. It does things I wasn't expecting. There's a lot of twists and turns, there's some great storytelling and the performances are all fantastic. My biggest problem with The Force Awakens was the character Kylo Ren I couldn't take him seriously. Thankfully that problem has been fixed. He is actually very intimidating and thankfully he doesn't act like a whiny bitch this time. Adam Driver did a wonderful job and he has some of the best scenes in this movie. Daisy Ridley knocks it out of the park as Ray once again. She gets a lot more screen time with Kylo Ren which I loved some great stuff between the two of them including my favorite scene in the movie. I wish I could go more into that. John Boyega is back as Finn and he gets a lot more to do this time. Oscar Issac as Poe also gets a lot more screen time and he was one of my favorites of the new characters in Force Awakens. Mark Hamill finally gets to speak as Luke Skywalker. I think this is his best performance as Luke. You also have some new cast members Laura Dern is really great in this film. Benicio del Toro is fantastic. Also returning is Gwendoline Christie as Captain Phasma and Domhnall Gleeson as General Hux. I wasn't thrilled with either character in The Force Awakens. Thankfully that was another problem that was fixed. Phasma gets a great action scene and Hux gets one of the funniest scenes at the beginning of the movie. Andy Serkis is back as Supreme Leader Snoke. I thought Snoke looked a lot better in person than he did as a hologram in the last movie. Finally, the late Carrie Fisher is back as Leia. Just like Mark Hamill, this is her best performance as Leia. Visually this is the most beautiful Star Wars movie especially towards the latter half with the big climax that takes place on this planet were the dirt is red and it contrasts beautifully with the white. There is a lot of phenomenal action and director Rian Johnson handles it very well. Also, the score by John Williams is especially good this time there was some great new stuff with some old stuff sprinkled in. There is a lot of humor and all of it works I laughed many times. The real reason why I love this film so much is there are great emotional stakes. All of these relationships have been so well developed. The story is completely engaging. There are certain things that you expect to happen in a Star Wars film. Certain sequences take place in a certain order, but this movie blows that right out of the water. I had no idea where this movie was going to go and I loved that. I have only given two Star Wars movies my highest grade well now it's three. 5 out of 5 stars for Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi. I hope you enjoyed my review.

See The Avengers: End Game Opening Night In Iowa For… HOW MUCH?!
Presale tickets for Marvel's Avengers: Endgame went on sale yesterday, and not surprisingly, there's a bunch of people trying to hawk them on eBay for RIDICULOUS prices.
How ridiculous, you ask? 50 bucks? A hundred? Hm. Nope. Aim... higher. A LOT higher.
One fool is trying to sell a pair of tickets in New York City for $9,199 'or best offer', of course. It's hard to believe anyone would bite on that, but who knows. People want to see this movie BADLY. But it gets worse here locally. According to the The Courier, locally, ticket purchasing website Fandango crashed due to demand leaving users unable to buy tickets. (What if someone was just looking for tickets to Dumbo?!)
Anyway, back to eBay, there are several people trying to sell them for $500 a ticket, and a few trying to get $900. One seller is looking for $1,000.
The lowest price anyone was offering as of last night was $30, which is STILL a rip-off when you figure the average movie ticket price in the U.S. is around 9-bucks.
Not to mention the fact that even if tickets are hard to get at first, you can probably just wait a few days and get them at regular price, no problem.
