Chapter 2
When Vincent awoke the next morning, he picked up his fully charged cell phone from the nightstand and phoned Justin. Vincent asked Justin to meet him on the usual walking path with Adam and Matt as soon as possible. He quickly ran into the bathroom, had a fast shower, and got dressed for school.
Vincent found his mother sitting at the kitchen table, waiting for her son with a plate of poached eggs cut into tiny cubes and placed on small wedges of toast. Catherine made this special meal for Vincent for as long as he could recall whenever she wanted to make him feel better. "Your father told me he showed you your adoption information. Are you okay? Is there anything you want to maybe talk about?"
Through a mouthful of toast, Vincent told his mother that he had no time to talk. He needed to meet his friends for school. He gave his mother a hug and assured her that they would talk just as soon as he got home from school before bolting out the door.
The concrete path was a familiar shortcut for many people walking toward the high school. Situated between the backyard fences of two different streets of houses on each side of the path, it ran directly to the school. Since most high schoolers drove, only a few neighbourhood freshman and sophomores would be speckled along the trail. This would serve to give Vincent the privacy he needed for the talk he was about to have with his friends.
Vincent reached the halfway mark on the walking path, meeting up with Justin, Matt, and Adam who had all been waiting for Vincent for quite some time at this point. "What's the big deal all about, Vince?" asked Adam. "I had to get up twenty minutes early for school after Justin called me with your big emergency."
Justin, obviously frustrated with Vincent, threw himself into the conversation. "And what exactly happened to you last night? You were supposed to meet us at Game On for hockey. We got our butts handed to us five to one by the Destroyers because you didn't show up. Coach Lederer wasn't happy at all. You could have boiled an egg on his forehead. What gives?"
Vincent took a second to plan out how he was going to say what he had to without making his friends think he was a mental patient. "Guys, something happened to me yesterday that is really hard to explain. I need to tell you but you have to promise that this conversation stays strictly between us."
"Jeez, Vince, you'd think that your dad would have had the getting hair in different places talk by now," Matt winked.
"Could you just stop and listen to me!" yelled Vincent. "This is big, I mean real big. Yesterday I got into an fight with Cyrus and he stuck me in the trunk of his car, took me to a dirt road where he dragged me behind his car, and then left me there."
"Is that where you ended up yesterday? That explains why you didn't make it to the hockey game. Hell, I'm surprised you're not in the hospital after an encounter with Cyrus… Wait, did you say he dragged you behind his car?" Adam asked, a growing sense of alarm in his voice.
The three boys stared at their friend in shock as not a single one of them could believe what they were hearing. "That's not even the worst of it. When I got up I had all sorts of cuts and bruises. I could hardly walk, so it took me a while but I walked all the way home. When I got home and took a look in the mirror, I noticed that all of my cuts and scrapes had fully healed without even a scar."
Justin, Matt, and Adam all looked at each other with a stunned face and then back at Vincent. "Well, now I have heard it all. You could have tried to make a better excuse up than that. I mean, you expect us to believe that you were maimed beyond all repair and then magically healed yourself? Sure thing, Vincent. While we're at it, my parents won the lottery and I can fly like Peter Pan," Justin said sarcastically.
"I'm not making this up," Vincent insisted. "Something really amazing happened last night that changed everything and it made a little sense. My dad showed me some things about my adoption. It got me to thinking that maybe there is a reason that no one knows who my birth parents are or where I came from. Maybe it's all related somehow."
Vincent was anxious for someone to say something. All was quiet, save the chirping of nearby wildlife. Justin looked over at Adam and Matt, then back at Vincent. "Maybe it's best that we keep this sort of quiet, Vince. All of this is kind of out there. This is the kind of thing they would put you in a nice white jacket and lock you up for. So for now we will just keep it on the down low."
The boys agreed and continued to walk down the pathway toward the school when faintly in the distance they could hear the buzzer for the school go off, signalling to the students that classes were about to begin. They all quickly picked up their pace and ran for the school making it just in time before the official buzzer rang for classes.
The boys parted ways and Vincent scurried off to his locker to quickly grab his books for his first period science class. As he was attempting to remember the combination to his new locker by aimlessly twitching the combination dial, out of the corner of his eye he saw Alexis and her older sister Carrie walking his way. Carrie was a senior at Lakewood High and head of the cheerleading squad. She had the attitude of a rattlesnake, venomous when someone she didn't like crossed her path.
Vincent kept his eyes focused on the locker and hoped that Alexis would not try to talk to him about what had happened the previous day, but it was too late. The young girl already had a look of despair on her face as she rushed over to him. As she approached, Vincent wondered what he was going to tell her had happened yesterday in the scuffle with Cyrus. He knew he had to keep what had "really" taken place a secret at any cost.
"Oh my god, Vincent! I tried to call your house last night and your parents told me that they hadn't heard from you all day and that you didn't come home after school. I was so worried about you. I just wanted to thank you for everything you did for me yesterday. It was really sweet. Cyrus didn't hurt you, did he?" Alexis gushed, lightly brushing her hand down his arm as if to assure herself he was really standing there.
Vincent lifted his head and took a look at Alexis' face. The sheer expression on her face was enough to kill him. Her eyes were as large as baseballs, ready to make a small puddle of tears on the ground. Her bottom lip quivered as she awaited Vincent's explanation.
Unable to come up with anything more than a white lie, Vincent shrugged his shoulders. "There is no need to thank me, Lexi. I could see that you didn't want him around. Cyrus and I worked things out and there is nothing to worry about. It is all over with, as far as I'm concerned."
Carrie didn't buy Vincent's story. She squinted her eyes and with pursed lips retorted, "Do you honestly expect Alexis to believe that you got into an argument with Cyrus Drake and that nothing at all happened as a result of it? Alexis wasn't born yesterday!"
Vincent knew that trying to win an argument with Carrie was as pointless as having a screen door on a submarine. The boy stood there dumbfounded, shaking his head as he tried to think of something worthwhile he could say. Alexis had folded her arms and raised one eyebrow while pouting her lips and tapping her foot on the floor. Her scowl alone was enough to turn Vincent inside out. Vincent was convinced that any chance he had with Alexis Sommers had just been flushed down the toilet. She couldn't keep up the facade and her face turned from what was the meanest look in the world to a smile as she leaned forward and kissed Vincent on the cheek.
The young man's body almost seized up as Alexis stood there waiting for Vincent to say something. He could not believe that a girl he assumed didn't have a real interest in him had just kissed him. So Vincent stood in front of Alexis and Carrie mumbling incoherently. Realizing he needed to say something, Vincent decided to open his mouth and pray something comprehensive would fall out. "Maybe we can get together sometime and hang out. I mean if you're into that sort of thing."
Vincent could not believe what had just come out of his mouth. He mentally hoped that what he had just said was not going to end up being a social bomb dropped at his expense, in turn decimating his entire high school experience. A wide grin spread across Alexis' face, blushing as she replied, "I would really like that, Vince. Why don't you give me a call this weekend and I'm sure we can work something out."
Carrie clearly did not care for this turn of events. Scowling, she grabbed her sister by the wrist. "Come on, Alexis, we have to get to class. And I am not going to have the school call home tonight saying I was late over someone like Vincent!"
As the two girls walked away, Alexis looked over her shoulder smiling and waved goodbye to Vincent. Vincent slowly jolted back to reality when he noted the time on his watch and he realized he was ten minutes late for his science class at the other end of the school. Quickly scooping up his books and backpack, he ran down the halls toward his class as if his life itself was depending on him making it there as soon as humanly possible.
With all of the students already in class, the sound of the crashing of Vincent's feet slapping against the floor echoed through the empty halls of the school. When he finally approached the classroom, Vincent could hear Mr. Lederer dictating his lesson to the class. Rob Lederer was a tall, balding, quirky man who thrived on making his students feel more like his friends. He was always poking fun at his students, and as a part time hockey coach to Vincent's team, he loved dishing out push-ups on command as humiliation for insolent behavior for both his players and his students.
Vincent let out a deep sigh as he knew that no matter what the excuse there was no explanation that would escape Mr. Lederer's grasp. As he walked into the classroom, Vincent kept his head down and moved toward the back of the classroom to toward one of the last vacant desks next to Matt. He placed his backpack gently on the floor and slowly sat down in the very hard and squeaky chair attached to his desk.
Removing his binder and pen from his backpack, Mr. Lederer approached Vincent with a grim but slightly amused chuckle. "And just where were you for our game against Windsor Park, Vinnie?"
Vincent attempted to explain the same story of injury that he had given to his parents, when the science teacher suddenly cut him off. "Do you really think I'm going to care where you happened to be yesterday? Crying about your frail body? We lost our game last night and I never lose, never. So for starters, you can get down on the floor and give me 20 push-ups for our loss yesterday. Then you can give me an additional 10 push-ups after that for being late to my class and then maybe you won't do it again."
Embarrassed, Vincent dropped to the floor while the other students giggled almost silently at his misfortune. He was almost at push-up number five when he felt someone using his back as a chair. Mr. Lederer was sitting on him, continuing his lecture with a playful smile on his face and remained there until Vincent fell to the floor on push-up number thirty. Content, the teacher returned to the front of the class and Vincent to his seat.
A video on cell osmosis made Vincent's eyes heavy. The lights flickered on as the buzzer rang, urging Vincent to move onto his physical education class when suddenly he felt a strong, sharp pain to the temples of his head. Every second felt like an hour as each pulse of his brain caused Vincent's head to hurt more and more and he leaned forward grasping his head.
Matt took notice and placed his hand on Vincent's back and leaned in to speak to him. "Hey, are you okay? What's wrong with you?" Matt asked who was now quite concerned about his friend's health.
Vincent tried to stop grinding his teeth as he looked over at Matt. "My head. It feels like it's about to explode!" Just as suddenly as the pain began it ended, and everything seemed back to normal. Vincent caught his breath, completely drained from the experience as he looked to Matt. "Why? What's happening to me? I don't know what to do. I can't even see a doctor and tell him what's going on without someone thinking I'm crazy or locking me up and treating me like a human guinea pig."
"I don't know what to say, Vince. Maybe you should wait until we can all get together and talk about it. If put our heads together, I'm sure we think of something to help you, but for now let's just try and get through the day."
They met up with Justin and Adam in the locker room for physical education class. As Vincent sat down on the locker room bench to change for class, he couldn't help but feel partially dizzy from the excruciating headache he had experienced.Something about the way his friends were acting was unusual to Vincent as they came over and approached him.
"We think we can help you with your problem," Adam whispered. "Meet us outside the front doors of the school on the lunch hour."
Vincent was hesitant to believe what Adam had just said to him, as he noticed the unsure look on his face as he was talking to him. Adam had a tendency to avoid eye contact with Vincent, always shifting around as though looking for ninjas in wide open spaces.
"What did you do?" Vincent asked as he slammed Adam up against a locker by the collar of his shirt. "Did you tell someone? Do you have any idea what might happen to me if someone found out what was going on?"
Adam began to stutter every little incomprehensible word that he could out of his mouth as Justin placed his hand on Vincent's shoulder. "Take it easy, Vince. You know we would never do anything to put you in any danger. You can trust us, everything will be fine. Just meet us at lunch, okay?"
Vincent took a deep breath as he let go of Adam's shirt and let his feet fully touch the floor. "I'm sorry, guys. I just don't know what is happening to me. I don't want to turn into some kind of freak. I just want to be normal."
Sitting down on the bench he buried his hands in his face, completely stressed out over everything that had taken place in the past twenty four hours. His friends stood by his side to comfort their friend in what seemed like his darkest hour.
"You are normal, Vince. You're just normal with a twist is all. Everything is going to work itself out, you'll see," Matt assured him, patting Vincent on the back.
Finally, Vincent took a deep breath, decided it was best to just get on with his class, and trust in his friends as he walked out of the locker room.
Mr. Cox towered over the boys with his clipboard and whistle in hand. "Well, it's nice to see that you girls could join us this morning. All four of you maggots are late for my class, and if you're late, you're running laps!" he exclaimed, his face two inches from the boys, and the scent of stale coffee on his breath.
Addressing the remainder of the class, he said, "And let that be a lesson to the rest of you. I will not tolerate tardiness in my gymnasium. Since the rest of you decided to show up on time, we will be playing dodge ball while these four run laps and do general exercises."
The whistle blew and the students took their places on the floor for dodgeball while Mr. Cox motioned the remaining four to begin running. Twenty minutes later, the friends felt a burning fatigue from all the running they were doing while dodging the balls the rest of the class was taking pleasure in throwing at them as they ran past. Mr. Cox finally yelled at the boys to switch it up with a brief rope climb.
Vincent reached for the rope but stopped as a resurgence of the same sharp pain rushed through his head.
Justin saw this and moved to his side. "Are you okay, Vince?"
Vincent took a moment to collect himself before standing upright. "I keep getting these headaches and they hurt like hell. Maybe it's from all the running."
Focusing what strength he had left, Vincent shook off the pain and gripped the rope in both hands, ready to climb. Just as Vincent began to pull himself up, the rope snapped from its steel support on the ceiling and fell to the ground. Students behind them abruptly ended their game, the sound of unattended dodgeballs bouncing to a stop.
Mr. Cox ran over to the boys. "Is everyone ok?" he asked, examining the rope on the floor. "It looks like the support broke while you were trying to climb. I keep telling the school board we need more money for repairs. Well, at least no one was hurt."
Vincent was puzzled; he knew for a fact he'd barely put any weight on the rope, and was fairly certain it had not fallen because of faulty equipment. His head pulsated again with unbelievable pain and he fell to the floor, vomiting on the padded mats. As he lifted his head back up, the pain started to subside but his ears rung with the voices of a million people all trying to talk at once. He tried to stand up and Mr. Cox grabbed his arm, helping him to his feet.
The voices wouldn't stop and Vincent began to think that maybe he was losing his mind.
"Can one of you kids go get the school nurse?" yelled Mr. Cox. When Vincent began to see straight again he heard Mr. Cox say, "God, what a mess. I'm sure glad I don't have to clean that up."
"What did you say?" asked Vincent.
Mr. Cox looked at Vincent, puzzled. "I didn't say anything," he replied.
Voices still clearly going through his head, Vincent surveyed the room. Most of his classmates stood in stunned silence, a few of them whispering to one another, but nothing so loud that he should be able to hear. That's when it hit him; he could hear their thoughts. The boy fell to the floor in a panic, frantically pushing towards the main door of the gymnasium with his hands and feet. Mr. Cox tried to calm Vincent down, saying the nurse would be there soon and they could call his parents. Justin, Matt, and Adam all walked toward Vincent attempting to try and help him to his feet.
As his friends moved to help him to his feet he snapped at them. "Get away from me!" he yelled as he pulled back from them. Scrambling to his feet, he ran out the door and into the main hallway.
He ran down the hallway and burst through the front door of the school where he stopped to catch his breath, hands on his knees, panting. "What's happening to me?" he again asked himself out loud.
"I think I might be able to help you with that problem young man."
Vincent looked up to see Principal Schwartz, an extremely concerned look on his face. He walked over and offered his student a hand. "I know about the strange episodes you have been having, Vincent, and I know how you can control them."
Vincent looked Mr. Schwartz straight on trying to hide his emotions. "I don't know what Justin and Adam told you, but it's all lies. There is nothing wrong with me. I just don't feel very well. In fact, I think I'm getting sick or something."
"I haven't been told anything. Please hear me out, Vincent. I've spent most of your life watching you and I know what is happening to you," Mr. Schwartz replied. "This day has been a long time coming, and I can help answer the questions you may have."
Vincent was confused and took a few steps back. He looked at Mr. Schwartz and very quietly asked, "Who are you, and what do you want with me?"
Mr. Schwartz moved towards Vincent. "I had to pose as your principal so that I could keep a steady eye on you in public without drawing other people's attention," he said. "You are unique, my boy, and I can help you get those abilities of yours under control. I will even show you how to use them to benefit mankind."
"Abilities? I don't have any abilities. What do you think this is, a comic book or something?" Vincent quivered as he backed away from Mr. Schwartz.
"This is becoming a waste of our time, Vincent. I have abilities, you have abilities, and your father before you had abilities," said the principal as he took another step toward Vincent.
The young man stopped in his tracks. "Well, that's where you are wrong. You couldn't possibly know who my biological father was because no one knows who he was."
Mr. Schwartz smiled. "Vincent, I know your biological parents better than anyone else on this earth."
At first Vincent believed it some sort of magic trick. Mr. Schwartz's clothing changed and his facial features shifted about. In no time at all, he had morphed into a middle aged man with grey and brown hair dressed in a bomber jacket, knit sweater, cargo pants, and big black boots. Vincent froze with fear as the man neared him, looking Vincent straight in the eye.
"Vincent Macleod, I am Colonel Curtis Marshall. I'm your grandfather."
Vincent let out a huge cry for help when the man threw his arm forward and shot a green gas out of the sleeve of his jacket. Vincent instantly felt light headed before his eyes drooped and he fell unconscious.

Composers Selected for 22nd Annual ASCAP Television and Film Scoring Workshop
ASCAP has selected 12 emerging composers to participate in this year's 22nd annual Television and Film Scoring Workshop. Selected participants have the opportunity to record their own music using similar resources afforded Oscar-winning composers while receiving advice, practical experience and insiders' access from some of the industry's leading professionals, all of this at no cost. The internationally recognized workshop, which takes place in Los Angeles, CA, July 19 – August 12, 2010 is one of the most successful and prestigious programs offered by ASCAP, and it is widely known as a major educational and networking opportunity for emerging composers.
Participants will benefit from the mentorship of Emmy Award-winning composer and arranger Richard Bellis. Author of The Emerging Film Composer and member of ASCAP's Board of Directors, Bellis has coached the workshop for the past twelve years, and led a panel selection of the twelve workshop participants, who were selected from several hundred applicants worldwide. The workshop was originally founded by the late film and television composer Fred Karlin.
"With this program, ASCAP introduces these 12 talented composer participants to Hollywood's elite, including award-winning film and television composers, orchestrators and top-tier business professionals," said Bellis. "In addition, participants receive a rare glimpse of what it's like to be an A-list film composer. They are given a scene to score from a major motion picture and then surrounded by every benefit and luxury afforded a big budget music score – music editor, scoring mixer, contractor, copyists and a 65 piece L.A. studio orchestra on one of the largest recording stages in town. There is nothing like this workshop anywhere else in the world."
This year's workshop is partially supported by The ASCAP Foundation with an additional contribution from ole, one of the world's largest independent, full-service music publishers. "One of ole's core endeavors is to support and develop promising talent and our creator community," says David Weitzman, director of Business Development at ole.
With an ideal combination of state-of-the-art facilities and access to some of the industry's most renowned professionals, the four-week power-packed workshop assigns each participant a three-minute scene from a well-known feature film. They have 9 days to compose an original score to fit the scene which concludes with a scoring session with L.A.'s finest session musicians from the Recording Musicians Association on the legendary Eastwood Scoring Stage at Warner Bros. Studios. Armed with state-of-the-art tools, the participants have the benefit of working with a team of professionals, including a music editor and Pro Tools operator, recording engineer and booth recordist, music librarian and prep service, and a musicians contractor. On the last day of the workshop, ASCAP screens all of the clips, complete with effects and dialogue, in a theater at the Directors Guild of America. Each composer will walk away with an impressively competitive top-of-the-line demo, invaluable resources, and a head start to launching a career as a composer.
The workshop has guided talent in taking their craft to the next level, and has produced a large number of success stories. In previous years, the workshop has featured top ASCAP composers as speakers including: Sean Callery (24, Bones, Medium), John Debney (Predators, Iron Man 2), Michael Giacchino (Star Trek, Up, Lost), Mark Isham (The Secret Life of Bees, Bobby) Randy Newman (Toy Story 1, 2 & 3, Leatherheads), James Newton Howard (Salt, The Dark Knight), Mark Snow (Ghost Whisperer, The X-Files), Brian Tyler (The Expendables, Fast & Furious, Eagle Eye) and Hans Zimmer (Inception, The Dark Night).
Industry veterans who regularly contribute their time and talent to the program include: music editor Michael Ryan co-founder of Mad 4 Music, Jo Ann Kane Music Services, legendary recording engineer Armin Steiner, contractor Peter Rotter, RMA International President Phil Ayling, orchestrator David Slonaker, scoring mixer John Rodd and concert master Endre Granat.
The 22nd annual ASCAP Television and Film Scoring Workshop participants include:

Also, as someone who works tirelessly to always have live musicians in my recordings, I am very appreciative that ASCAP provides this opportunity to work with some of LA's finest studio musicians, and gives us the chance to prove what we can do with the same resources as A-list composers." – Corey Wallace

"Knowing that many successful composers working today once participated in the ASCAP workshop, I feel very fortunate and honored to be selected this year. l truly believe this opportunity will be very helpful to my career for several reasons. First of all, I will have a chance to improve my writing and orchestration skills, as well as my dramatic understanding of film scoring. I will also learn about industry-related topics such as business, contracts, publicity, and so on, which are so very important in our line of work. I am really looking forward to meeting the speakers of the workshop as I know that ASCAP will bring in leading professionals from various fields of our industry. And of course, I am very much looking forward to the recording session, especially since it will be the first time for me to record with an A-list orchestra at a state-of-the-art stage." – Laurent Ziliani

Adam Shepard
Adam Shepard
Adam attended Merrimack College in North Andover, MA on a basketball scholarship, graduating with a degree in Business Management and Spanish. Serving as a Resident Advisor during his upperclassmen years, He began to take particular interest in the social issues of our nation. Shortly after graduation-with almost literally $25 to his name Adam departed his home state for Charleston, SC, embarking on the journey that has now become a successful first book, Scratch Beginnings.
After a whirlwind journey that took his self-published book to the Today Show, CNN, Fox News, and NPR, Adam sold Scratch Beginnings to HarperCollins and made appearances on the Dave Ramsey Show and 20/20. Adam likewise has been featured in the The New York Times, the New York Post, The Atlantic, The Christian Science Monitor, yada, yada, yada, and Scratch Beginnings has now been used on the curriculum or as a First Year Common Read at over 110 colleges and universities in the United States and translated across the world.
He used that momentum to do a deal with HarperCollins on a second book, The Best Four Years. To date, he has sold about 9 copies of that book, mostly to my Uncle Greg. My family and I really don't talk about it when we get together.
After a few years, then, working as North Carolina's slowest bartender, Adam set out upon the world to spend all of the money he had been saving. The narrative of this experience comprises his most recent book, One Year Lived. One Year Lived tells tales of travel and life lessons learned among seventeen countries, four continents, 42,134.6 miles, and one haunting encounter with a savage bull.
In the interim, Adam created the Next Level Success course. He's pretty proud of that one.
Most enriching of all for Adam, however, has been his participation in the documentary American Dream, where he was blindfolded, driven to a random city, and dropped off with just $25 and the challenge to survive-and thrive-for 30 days. Very possibly the most meaningful experience of his life.
In Adam's spare time, he reads, plays tennis with his wife Ivana, and travel the country empowering audiences to elevate performance by taking initiative.

Puglia. Italian Marinas.
|Italy. Collection of marinas and ports of Mediterranean from www.1yachtua.com. The large information site for the fans of Yachting and Sailing. Already there are more than 200 plans both descriptions of marinas and ports. Author's Photo gallery of two Whitbread Races.
The elongated region of Puglia (Apulia) forms the south-east part of the peninsula, on the Adriatic and Ionian Seas, delimited by Molise to the north-west and by Campania and Basilicata to the west. As far as size and population are concerned, it is the seventh largest region in Italy and its population density is above the national average.
Although Puglia comprises a diversity of
morphological zones with clearly defined characteristics, it retains a precise
uniformity, conferred by the underlying rock and its structural constant, for
the Puglia landscape consists prevalently of horizontal lines and gentle
contours, which rarely take on the appearance of mountains, even at higher
altitudes. These forms owe their existence to the large extensions of limestone
rock in vast horizontal or sub-horizontal strata. As a result, there are few
water courses, and consequently considerable karst phenomena.
From north to south, four geographical regions, Gargano, the Tavoliere, the Murge and Salento (or Salentino peninsula) blend into each other with little contrast; to these can be added the so-called Appennino di Capitanata', ie. the Apennine belt rising with the Monti della Daunia (1,152 m.), blocking the Tavoliere to the west, and the flat coastal amphitheatre extending in the immediate hinterland of Taranto.
Gargano is a blunt compact promontory with a rolling landscape and steep or terraced slopes. Between the Candelaro and Ofanto rivers and the Apennines lies the Tavoliere, a vast plain on the Adriatic, with a low sandy dune-fringed coastline. Towards the south-east, lies the Murge tableland, formed of great limestone blocks which, to the south-west, drop steeply towards the Fossa Bradanica (in Lucanian territory) though sloping gently to the Adriatic coast. The Penisola Salentina landscape, south-east of the Soglia Messapica, is very similar.
The Fortore and the Ofanto at the two ends of the Tavoliere are the principal rivers, both flowing into the Adriatic Sea. In Gargano, Murge and Salento, surface and underground karst phenomena are widespread (the Castellana Caves). The largest lakes are the Lesina and Varano coastal lakes.
The climate is entirely Mediterranean, with mild wet winters and hot dry ventilated summers. The precipitations, falling mainly in winter, are somewhat scarce, with a minimum of only 400 mm./year on the inner coastal belt of the Gulf of Manfredonia. Long ago most of Puglia was probably covered with Mediterranean scrub, composed of evergreen bushes and trees, but today only 67,000 hectares are wooded, 5% of the entire territory of the region.
One of the most beautiful parts of Puglia is Gargano, the `heel of Italy', the large promontory which juts into the Adriatic Sea, and culminates in Monte Calvo (1,055 m.). It is likely that, in Roman times, the whole promontory was a magnificent forest, though little now remains, the most important traces being the Aleppo pine woods on the coast, oaks in the valleys and at medium altitudes, together with beech higher up. An exceptionally interesting characteristic of Gargano are enormous trees, such as the evergreen oaks at Cappuccini di Vico del Gargano, the Bosco Quarto Turkey oaks, the Baracconi beeches in the Umbrian Forest, the yews and the centuries-old San Michele at Monte Sant'Angelo, together with the two tallest Aleppo pines in Italy (the higher of the two, known as Zappino dello Scorzone, is over seven hundred years old, and has a circumference of five and a half metres).
An entirely different environment caused by high salinity is that of the Saline di Margherita di Savoia, salt pans obtained by transforming the old Salpi lake, slightly south of Gargano, characterized by vast evaporation pans and picturesque mounds of salt. The large lakes are the habitat of large numbers of birds: duck, members of the rail and stork families and waders, and it is interesting to note the presence of shorebirds such as the oystercatcher, and gulls, in close proximity to marshland species including the ringed plover, avocets, herons and the black-winged stilt.
Between Massafra and Mottola lie the Murge Orientali, a wild zone with dense low woods, survivors of the great forests that once mantled the entire plateau. The finest part is the Gaglione forest, mostly great oak trees, some hundreds of years old and covered with ivy. Another of the most singular environments in Southern Italy is the Bosco di Tricase, the sole Italian habitat of the quercus aegilops; other interesting species here include the white oak and, in particular, the quercus coccifera, from whose cochineal insect galls scarlet dye was once obtained.
The Grotte di Castellana, slightly south-east of Bari, is a famous and much visited series of caves.
Discovered in 1938, they extend prevalently on the level for nearly 2,000 m., and consist of five large and immensely high caverns, linked by tunnels and corridors, all with splendid stalagmites and stalactites.
Characteristic of Puglia
(with the exception of the Salentino peninsula) is the concentration of numerous
small farmers in large urban centres (with tens of thousands of inhabitants),
forming `farming towns' (though now partially converted to other economic
sectors), frequently at a distance from the land itself. This gives the Pugliese
countryside an appearance that seems to contradict the somewhat high average
density of population statistics; consequently, population scatter is at a
The Puglia dialect, which belongs to the South Italy family of dialects, is divided into two sub-classes, that spoken in the north, with an affinity to the dialects of Molise and Abruzzo, and that of the south (or Salentine), typical of the area south of Taranto and Brindisi, which resembles the Calabrian-Sicilian matrix. Isolated instances are those of Albanian, spoken only in Capitanata and a few parts of the Province of Taranto, and Greek in certain centres south of Leone.
Agriculture is still the most important sector, both in terms of employment and production. In the course of agricultural development, which began at the beginning of last century, two basic problems have had to be overcome. The first of these, now successfully solved, was that of the latifundia, vast estates in the hands of the great landowners, whose land was redistributed to the farmers by the Riforma Fondiaria Act (1951); the second problem-the lack of water in these areas, has led the State and local authorities to build large-scale irrigation systems, the first being the Pugliese Aqueduct (1906-1939), wichch has proved to be still inadequate. In spite of this, horticulture is common in Puglia, including the production of tomatoes, lettuces, artichokes and fennel, as well as the traditional olives, and table and wine grapes. There are also high crops of carrots, aubergines, peppers, cabbage, wheat, corn, almonds and cherries. The only livestock of any importance is sheep, but Puglia has the fourth highest fishing catch in the country.
Underground resources include several natural gas deposits (Capitanata) and bauxite (Trani, Poggiardo); there is a fair production of electricity, almost exclusively by thermal generation.
In the south of the region, the industrial sector is highly developed, with two vast industrial complexes, the Taranto steel works and chemical plant at Brindisi, both planned as the basis for the growth of small and medium-sized allied companies. In reality, this has been only partly successful, and is limited to the Brindisi-Taranto-Bari industrial triangle. The sole branch of industry found in most areas is food, linked to the plentiful agricultural output (especially pasta and oil manufacture); other industries include papermaking (Foggia), engineering (Taranto, Brindisi, Bari), construction materials (Lecce, Bisceglie, Barletta).
The service sector suffers from the endemic malaises typical of the sector in the South of Italy: inefficiency, surplus of small businesses, flocks of intermediaries, especially in marketing the prosperous agricultural produce, a state of affairs this last which affects the earning power of the farmers. Of the remaining service industries, tourism particularly to beach resorts is steadily becoming important.
The conformation of the territory, unlike that of the other regions, is a serious obstacle to communications. The main highway is the last stretch of the Adriatic autostrada, which passes S. Severo, Foggia, Bari and Taranto; railway connections are based principally on the Milan-Bologna-Bari-Lecce line. Port facilities exist at Taranto (mercantile), as well as Brindisi and Bari, which have important links with Yugoslavia and Greece. The two domestic airports: Bari-Palese and Brindisi-Casale.
The influx of tourists in Puglia is linked to the
numbers of beach resorts along the Adriatic and Ionican coasts. Most of the
beaches are wide and sandy, giving way to attractive rocky coves, some with
magnificent sea caves, in a few parts of Gargano and the Salentino peninsula.
Taking the Gargano promontory as a starting point, the most important centres
are Rodi Garganico, Peschici, Vieste, the elegant Pugnochiuso and Baia delle
Zagare, where numerous sea crags give added beauty to the scenery.
Farther south lie Bisceglie, Polignano a Mare, Torre Canne, Marina di Ostuni, Roca Vecchia, Castro Marina and Leuca, at the tip of Salento. Along the Ionican coastline, Gallipoli is followed by S. Mari al Bagno, Porto Cesareo, Marina di Pulsano, Riva dei Tessali and Marina di Ginosa. Unforgettable is the rocky little Tremiti archipelago, off the Gargano coast, where the beauties of Nature still lie intact.
Many of the inland villages possess something of artistic or scenic interest, often with important historical remains. The visitor would do well to see the villages of Monte S. Angelo, standing in a panoramic position on the Gargano hills, Lucera in Capitanata, with the remains of a Roman amphitheatre, Troia, which has a Romanesque-Pugliese cathedral (11th-13th century), with a magnificent rose window.
In the Murges area, lie Canosa, with a 11th century cathedral and the beautiful isolated octagonal Castel del Monte, built by Frederick II, on a splendid panoramic site, Ruvo di Puglia, with one of the most important Romanesque-Pugliese cathedrals (13th century); Alberobello, with its extraordinary trulli; Gioia del Colle, which has a great castle (11th-13th century); Altamura, with a Romanesque-Gothic cathedral (13th-15th century), Grottaglie, a pottery craft centre; Manduria (megalithic walls and necropolis).
Some of the coastal towns also attract large numbers of tourists. Barletta, famous for the Disfida in 1503, with a giant bronze statue of the Colosso (4th century); Trani, with a fine Romanesque cathedral (12th century); Monopoli, dominated by its 16th century castle, with nearby ruins of the pre-Roman city of Egnazia; Otranto, with its characteristic historical centre and beautiful cathedral (11th-12th century). In the immediate Bari hinterland lies Bitonto, whose 13th century cathedral is probably the finest example of Romanesque-Pugliese architecture.

'Dragon Ball Super' Movie Update: The Return of Broly!!!
Akira Toriyama explains about the return of Broly as the main antagonist in the upcoming 'Dragon Ball Super' movie!
It is now "confirmed" that the Ancient Saiyan villain in the upcoming 'Dragon Ball Super' movie will be the fan-favorite, Broly!!
He will be coming to the movie on December 14 later this year.
Toei Animation released it a few days ago and they also released comments from Akira Toriyama himself, who is the series creator, regarding Broly being in this movie. So this is very interesting and this is going to give us some insight as to Broly's character in the movie. I guess they are holding on to these comments and they were waiting to release the official announcement, which is Broly.
Now, let's go ahead and read these comments by Toriyama because this is really fascinating.
Akira Toriyama explains in-depth of Broly's new design and involvement in the movie!
So the comments start off saying,
"Everyone, are you familiar with Broly? He's an incredibly strong Saiyan who only appeared in the old anime movies, and I apparently at least drew the designs for him, but I had practically no involvement with the anime at the time, so I had totally forgotten about the story content. So, about Broly. I hear these days, he's still very popular not only in Japan, but also overseas. Based on that, my editor suggested we have Broly appear in this next movie. I went ahead and watched the movie from back then, and I felt this could be quite interesting once I rearrange some things.
I got right to work trying my hand at a story that incorporates him into the Dragon Ball Super series. While keeping in mind Broly's classic image so as not to disappoint his fans, I updated him and added a new side to his character, and I think this has resulted in a more fascinating Broly. Naturally you'll get to see fierce combat, but also, the paths of destiny that lead to an encounter between Goku, Vegeta, and Broly. It also involves the Frieza Force and the history of the Saiyans, which end up having a major connection to everything.
The story content turns out to be very large-scale and dramatic. Here comes that almighty Saiyan, Broly! I'm also including lots of other content all you fans will enjoy, so look forward to it, and be patient a while longer for it all to come together!!"
Broly's remake eyes and green aura!
So one of the things you guys have to realize is that Toriyama is very forgetful, traditionally. That is why there is a lot of plot holes in Dragon Ball and he forgets things (laugh). So, he is in his late 60's by now and the Dragon Ball Z movies were made over 20 years ago. He pretty much looked back at the story of Broly, after seeing the success, and says, "Hey. This is a really good story." So, it really comes down to what Akira wants to write, in regards to Dragon Ball Super and the movies.
Now, he does get a lot of feedback from Toei Animation themselves saying, "Hey, this is really popular. You should do this." and it has to be approved by Akira himself. Akira is ready to go full force with this movie. So far in his comments, it gives us an impression that Akira is going to remake a re-work Broly or have a Broly who is strong enough to go up against Goku and Vegeta, who have super, powerful forms right now.
Broly will be the villain Goku goes up against in the movie!
So Akira does not want to ruin the classic image of Broly. The big bulky muscles. The evil, strong menacing titan, which is the traditional image of Broly. However, he added a new side to his character, which could mean anything. In my opinion, this sounds like Broly is going to be doing a lot more talking. He is not going to just say "Kakarot" all the time. There is going to be some additional storyline in here and Broly may have some additional goals.
Now because the previous Broly movies were not Canon my question is, is this going to be in a sense that Broly will never die?
These types of movies never happen. Akira is remaking this story and remaking Broly as a brand-new character. Now, this leaves another question, are Goku and Vegeta going to know who he is in this movie?
Here is a present for you, Kakarot!
There is so much to discuss, and we finally have the reveal of the Ancient Saiyan in the upcoming Dragon Ball Super movie: Broly.
We will see Goku taking on Broly again, but in a remake version, which is pretty cool.
The hype has just begun guys!!!
That is all the updates so far for the Dragon Ball Super movie!
Thank you for reading!!!

Katia-Marie Germain is a Montreal-based choreographer and performer. Her works Y demeurer (2010), Aube (2012), FOLDS (2014) and Habiter (2017) were performed in various festivals and venues in Quebec and abroad. She has been awarded numerous research and creation residencies in Montreal (Circuit-Est, Agora de la danse, CCOV, Compagnie Marie Chouinard, amongst others), as well as international exchange programs in Belgium, Chile, France, and Italy thanks to the support of LOJIQ and Circuit-Est centre chorégraphique. Having earned a BFA in visual arts in 2007 and in contemporary dance in 2010, she completed her MA in Dance in 2017. Using the dancer's body in a scenographic space as a starting point, her research-creation study touches on the practical and theoretical potential of a crossover between the codes, languages and methods of visual arts and dance. During the course of her studies, Katia-Marie was awarded the Avatar prize (Laval University, 2007), the Contemporary Dance prize (Concordia University, 2010), the FARE Excellence Scholarship (UQAM, 2013) and the Pierre-Lapointe prize (UQAM, 2015).

Creative process
With an interdisciplinary approach, Katia-Marie uses visual arts composition strategies to question the choreographic field. Through movement, scenography and light, she creates environments which alter, renew or deflect the perceptions of both the dancer and the spectator. Working with the body as well as scenery, she takes a keen interest in the relationships that form between people, places and things, and how they permeate one another. Presence, finesse, subtlety and precision are at the heart of the intimate experience of choreographic and visual movements. The end result is works that capture the spectator's eye and lead to moments of wonder or contemplation while engaging his or her own sensitive and poetic fantasy.

VIDEO: Man Threatens to Explode RV at Tucson Police Station, Standoff in Progress
Several agencies are on the scene after a man claiming to be armed with weapons and explosives showed up at the Tucson Police Department substation on Miracle Mile Wednesday morning, authorities said.
Sgt. Pete Dugan, spokesman for the TPD, told Tucson News Now that negotiators are on the scene now and are talking with the suspect.
Dugan said the man, who is in his mid 30s, drove an RV to the substation and tried to contact officers around 7:30 a.m. The front door was locked so the man used the call box.
Dugan said the man sounded incoherent so officers walked outside to meet him. The suspect then hopped back into his RV, called 911 and told the operator he had weapons and propane and was going to blow up his RV.
KVOA TV reports that the man has been seen waving a hammer, holding a gas can, and ranting incoherently at a police robot.
