A close friend, colleague and longtime supporter of Chung, the pair shared a combined vision for the development of football in their country.
"It is with great sadness that I learned of Joe's passing and I offer my condolences to his family, friends and colleagues, who I know will miss him as much as I will," Chung says.
"Joe's contribution to football in Bougainville was immense and his honesty and drive to develop football in Papua New Guinea, and closer to home in Bougainville, was unrivaled.
"I will miss his support and contribution to football and I will strive to fulfil his dream of getting the Bougainville training facilities up-and-running so we can improve football in the manner he envisioned."
Maineke touched many during his lifetime and it comes as no surprise that his passing has affected all those who came in contact with him.
FIFA Director of Member Associations and Development Thierry Regenass was a guest of Maineke and the Bougainville FA in September 2014, when he travelled to the remote Papua New Guinea region to perform the groundbreaking on the Bougainville Football Academy in Manetai, Central Bougainville.
Though short, it was a visit Regenass recalls fondly.
"My sincere condolences to the Bougainville FA and to Joseph's family," he expressed.
FIFA Head of Development Programmes Cyriel Loisel noted how much Maineke meant to Chung, his family, his community and football,
"He was so nice, so generous and passionate. My sincere condolences to his wife, children and beloved, but also to all the football community of Papua New Guinea."
Maineke, a former player, coach and administrator, was elected President of Bougainville Football Association in April 2014 for a four-year term, and was a member of the PNGFA Executive Committee.
With support from PNGFA he envisioned a rise in football in Bougainville with the game filtering into schools and communities, and a goal of being able to enter a side in the PNGFA National Soccer League by 2016.

Four-star St. Paul's offensive lineman Josh Casher wanted a do-over. So he called Auburn coach Gus Malzahn and said he'd decided to de-commit from the Tigers.
Casher (6-1, 297), who
, said in an interview with AL.com Monday night that he'd been considering de-committing since the beginning of summer. He had committed to Auburn on March 31.
"I just felt that it wasn't fair to me or to Auburn to kind of string them along when I'm having doubts," Casher said. "I really want to start this over. ... If I want to go visit a school or I want to do different things, I'm not fully committed. It wasn't right for me to be stringing them along and having them think, 'He's fully committed.'"
Alabama has continued to recruit Casher since his commitment to Auburn, and Casher conceded Monday that Crimson Tide recruiters have been working him the hardest, calling them "pretty persistent." But he said he wants to visit several other schools as well -- possibly including Florida and Florida State, both of whom have also offered.
"I can honestly say I'm going to start my recruitment all the way over," he said. "A lot of people are going to assume: 'You're going to Alabama.' I don't plan on making any other decision until after the season.
"I truly want to go and look at other schools and see what they have to offer. There are schools that have offered me that I've never stepped foot on their campus."
Casher went to an Alabama camp in June with his younger brother, 2016 St. Paul's offensive lineman Darius Whitfield. While he said it would be "amazing" to be teammates with his brother again in college, he added that he would not want to influence Whitfield's decision-making process.
Casher said Malzahn was "shocked" when he called him. "It was the hardest thing for me to do. It was very tough for me to call coach Malzahn," he said. "I think Auburn is an amazing school and I have respect for Auburn as much as any other school.
"At the same time, I felt like I'm not fixing to string anybody along when I'm having certain doubts, when I don't know if I really want to be here."
Auburn appears to be making other plans, as
that offensive line coach J.B. Grimes on Monday asked three-star Cumming (Ga.) West Forsyth center
via Twitter to call on Tuesday. Marshall (6-4, 265) camped at Auburn last weekend but does not yet have an offer from the Tigers.
Casher, who is still rehabbing a turf toe injury suffered at the Rivals Five-Star Challenge in Chicago in June, said the toe is "doing much better" and he plans to participate in the Southeastern Line Camp at Clay-Chalkville later this week. His St. Paul's teammate, four-star linebacker Tre Williams, remains committed to Auburn, and Casher said Williams "was very supportive" of his decision.
"I had to do what's right for me,"Casher said. "All I ask is for people to respect it."

Speaking on this project as a whole 14KT said, "One day, I woke up and decided I wanted to make a project. I took a handful of arbitrary beats and put them in a folder." From this, the listener gains the benefit of various influences and an unmethodical approach to a project that still sounds cohesive, with the assistance of good-humored samples reinforcing the interconnected game-like quality, and a childlike ingenuity.

Got a Clarity a month ago, replacing a Subaru Outback that was always finding new and expensive ways to break down. We already have a '15 Leaf. So now we have 2 cars that work as all-electrics for our commutes and local driving, plus a roomy family car for longer trips that gets almost 20 mpg better than the car it replaced.
We've had no problems plugging in at home, work, or at other public stations. It's a bigger car than I'm used to, with a very cushy comfortable ride. No complaints at all in the admittedly small sample size of 1 month of driving. With no bigger long-range BEV in our price range, one of the big draws for me was the 47-mile AER, which guarantees an all-electric commute even in the winter - something that would be iffy at best with other similar-sized PHEVs (Outlander, Pacifica, Fusion, Sonata etc).
Got a lease with good incentives: $7500 price reduction, plus $2500 MA state rebate. Residual is under $16k so if we still like it in 3 years it will be an affordable option.

What subject was Donald Trump good at in elementary school, do we think? He's proved weak on history and has betrayed an unconventional sense of syntax. He is very good at writing his name. Now—or once again, rather—it's clear math is more of a creative activity than a precise one. Forbes took a moment to fact-check a claim that Trump made while he was still on the campaign trail in 2015 regarding his Trump Tower residence.
At the time, Trump claimed the apartment was 33,000 square feet total and was worth "at least $200 million." He told Forbes, "I own the top three floors—the whole floor, times three!" The publication found that following some expansion in the 90s, Trump's residence has maintained an underwhelming size of 10,996 square feet, which, much like his hands, is about a third of what he says it is.
The tower itself is 10 floors shorter than it actually is, due to some height fudging on Trump's part in the early 80s, according to a recent New York Times piece. The president's proprietary take on math is here:
Though the tower was built with 58 floors, Mr. Trump later explained to The New York Times that because there was a soaring pink marble atrium and 19 commercial floors at the bottom, he could see no good reason not to list the first residential floor as the 30th floor. The pinnacle became the 68th—the height that appears in marketing materials, online search results and news articles to this day.
So the exact height of the president's tall tales is 10 stories. This has become a sort of real-estate practice that the city, developers, and residence all buy into from then on, according to the Times. Yes, Trump once pioneered a mutually agreed upon delusion that is all smoke and no substance for an entire industry.
Vanity Fair has reached out to the president's team for confirmation.

to Joyce sing is always a powerful and joyous experience. Her connection
with the lyric is deeply personal, her voice is pure honey and the
caressing humanity in every note is truly special. 0dds
and Ends is another perfect vocal
-Michael Feinstein
"She's become one of the most respected interpreters of the Great American Songbook since Mabel Mercer, Sylvia Syms and Julie Wilson."
|"Joyce Breach, a beloved longtime fixture of New York's cabaret circuit, is a quintessential keeper of the flame. She gently nudges ballads into the pockets where they belong. On up-tempo numbers, she swings steadily but without ostentation."
-Stephen Holden,The New York Times
"In Moments Like This, as in previous moments in recording studios, she is in the moment, getting to the heart of a song with sincerity and affection. She lets them live and breathe and doesn't make it about weeping and wailing. With excellent taste in all things musical, her choice of song is often an under appreciated one or a standard neglected in recent years. There's delicacy, there's integrity, there's depth."
Experience Joyce's Music
Reviews from the Don't Tell Mama (2014)
Joyce Breach
Joyce Breach
"Her refined taste in largely older material from the American Songbook coincides with an appealing and warm, easygoing personality. There is not a pretentious or self-pitying phrase in her interpretations."
"Joyce Breach, on stage in cabaret, offers a master class in performing a ballad. She doesn't just sing a song; she tells its story with warmth and simplicity, as if its characters were in the room, their moments and feelings unfolding then and there."
Moments Like This "No unnecessary embellishment. The alchemy is simple. They interpret the subtext of a song in such a way that it evokes joy and pain (sometimes simultaneously), with a passionate emotional directness that pierces the heart."

Learn to Market or Close Your Doors
It is a harsh reality, but having a quality product and a friendly and knowledgeable staff just isn't enough anymore. You need to stand out and make a lasting impression on your customers or you will be left with full shelves and empty pockets. We all want the opposite of that. Full pockets and empty shelves equal happy business owners, but how do you get there?
Marketing is the golden key to your success and vitality.
Did you know that 8 out of every 10 business fail because they do not market their products or services effectively?
It is so important that Forbes and Entrepreneur list proper marketing as the top priority for making sales and this is true whether you are selling one small product that you made yourself or if you offer millions of products worldwide.
Okay, we understand that you have to advertise to make sales, but how do you do that properly if you have a small budget, you're just starting out or your profit margins are low?
You have some options, but like anything else in business, you have to weigh the costs with the benefits.
Option A: You can try to wing it and hope and pray that you succeed and that you won't be one of the 8 out of 10 business owners that took that route and failed.
Option B: You can hire a professional and you will likely see great sales, but how long until you make a profit after paying his or her salary? A professional will run you about 100 grand a year, can you really afford that?
Option C: You can take marketing classes and learn how to do it yourself. For most people this is the best option so far, but you are still investing a least a few hundred dollars and tons of your valuable time and we all know that time is money. What is the real cost of option c?
What if there was a better way? What if you could learn the secrets to successful marketing in a short amount of time, with an investment that is less than five dollars? Wouldn't you jump at such an opportunity?
Well guess what, Ladies and Gentlemen, you can do just that! For less than the cost of your lunch today, you can learn the secrets of successful marketing and start seeing a dramatic increase in your sales in less time that it would take you to finish one marketing course or conduct two job interviews!
The secrets are right here in Naresh Vissa's innovative new book, Fifty Shades of Marketing.
Everything you need to start getting the sale you want is right here and the truth is at such a low price, you will make back the money for your book purchase with your first sale. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain, so grab your copy of Fifty Shades of Marketing today!
I know I have your attention already, but just in case you are not convinced to buy your copy right now, please read on and learn more about this life changing book!

Billions of people around the world are more connected than ever before.
Whether you're an operating business or college or job applicant, decision-makers need to know about you... what you offer... why you're awesome. Traditional marketing no longer cuts it today.
The "father of modern marketing," Philip Kotler is a leading professor at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, and he strongly endorses FIFTY SHADES OF MARKETING: Whip Your Business Into Shape & Dominate Your Competition as the most groundbreaking book on personal and business marketing written to date. It lays out specific ideas, step-by-step techniques, and beneficial resources to remove the chains holding you back from success in a digital age.
Chapter topics include:
- How To Create Beneficial Facebook Marketing Campaigns
- 3 Ways To Make Money Off Craigslist
- How To Be Discovered On LinkedIn
- How To Publish A Book
- How Advertising On Porn Sites Can Grow Your Business Cost-Effectively
And much, much more!

- How To Create Beneficial Facebook Marketing Campaigns

The author, Naresh Vissa, has graciously reduced the price of the book to you so it can be affordable to anyone. You won't find a book with so much value to be sold for just a few dollars.
Marketing guru Seth Greene summed it up best:
"Fifty Shades Of Marketing is fifty shades of brilliant! There is way too much value here. Naresh could have charged $2,997 for it, and it would still be a bargain!"

This is not the first time I have ranted about command prompts, but I cannot help ranting about them whenever I saw them in source code. In short, a piece of source code with command prompts is like a bag of cooked shrimps in the market — it does not make sense, and an otherwise good thing is ruined. I like cooking raw shrimps (way more tasty).
The command prompt here refers to the characters you saw in commands as the prefix, which indicates "I'm ready to take your commands". In a Unix shell, it is often
$; in R, it is
> by default. A shell example from the GTK web page:
$ jhbuild bootstrap
$ jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap
$ jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-core
And an R example from R and Data Mining:
> data("bodyfat", package = "mboost")
> str(bodyfat)
There are numerous examples like this on the web and in the books (sorry, GTK developers and Yanchang Zhao; I came to you randomly). Most people seem to post their code like this. I can probably spend half a day figuring out a problem in measure theory, but I cannot, even if I spend two years, figure out why people include command prompts when publishing source code.
Isn't it too obvious that you are wasting the time of your readers?
Whenever the command prompts are present in the source code, the reader has to copy the code, remove the prompts, and use the code. Why there has to be an additional step of removing the prompts? Why cannot you make your code directly usable to other people?
jhbuild bootstrap
jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap
jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-core
data("bodyfat", package = "mboost")
I'm aware of the column selection mode in some editors. I just do not understand why the correct thing should not happen in the very beginning.
Some may argue the prompt helps typesetting, and it makes the code stand out because of the common prefix. In R,
+ means the last line is not complete, so
> and
+ present the structure of the code, e.g.
> for (i in 1:10) {
+ print(i)
+ }
I believe the structure of code should be presented by the level of indentation, which does not hurt the source code. To make the code stand out, choose a background color (shading) for it. That is the only correct way for typesetting purposes.
So, please stop code pollution, and post usable code.

text: My Husband had a really bad coughing attack this morning and has gone downhill ever since. I rang and asked to speak to the Dr this afternoon as he started a temperature. The Dr rang back within a quarter of an hour. She has prescribed Doxycycline and said if he was any worse by 5.30pm to call and she would call in. I went out to get the prescription and do a little shopping. I left two paracetamol at his bedside. When I returned he hadn't taken them as I didn't put any water for him. So he was progressively worse and shivering. I gave him the paracetamol and made a couple of hot water bottles. I wrapped him in a blanket as well. When the paracetamol wore off we unwrapped him. I will give him more paracetamol before he goes to bed. The Dr said she will be calling in tomorrow anyway.

A young executive was leaving the office of a major corporation late one evening when he found the CEO himself standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand. Eager to make a good impression, the young exec introduced himself and asked if he could be of any help. "Why yes," said the CEO, holding up the piece of paper. "This is a very sensitive and important document, and my secretary has gone for the night. Can you make this thing work?" "Certainly," said the young executive, happy for a chance to help the boss. The young man turned the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button.
"Excellent, excellent!" said the CEO as his paper disappeared inside the shredder. "I'll need two copies."

Mr. Jones was known far and wide as a hard-nosed boss who watched his employees like a hawk. He was making one of his regular tours of the factory when he spotted a young man leaning against a pile of boxes just outside the foreman's office. Since George, the foreman, wasn't around, Jones stood off to the side and watched to see just how long the young man would stand around doing nothing. The young man yawned, scratched his head, looked at his watch, and sat on the floor. He took out a nail file and began cleaning his nails. Then he stretched, yawned again, and leaned back on the pile of boxes. Jones stepped from his hiding place and walked up to the young man. "You!" he boomed. "How much do you make a week?" The young man looked up indifferently. "Two hundred and fifty dollars," he said. Jones swooped into the cashier's office, took $250 from the cash box, and returned. "Take it," he said, "and get out! Don't let me see you around here again!" The young man took the cash, put it in his pocket, and left. Jones snorted at his lack of remorse, embarrassment, or any other feeling. Then he went looking for George. When he found him, Jones was red with anger."That idler in front of your office," Jones said. "I just gave him a week's pay and fired him. What's the matter with you, letting him stand around as though he had nothing to do?" "You mean the kid in the red shirt?" George asked. "Yes! The kid in the red shirt!" "He was waiting for the twenty dollars we owe him for lunch," George said. "He works for the coffee shop around the corner."

An ageing blacksmith realized he soon needed to retire so he picked out a strong young man to become his apprentice. The old fellow was crabby and exacting. "Don't ask me a lot of questions," he told the boy. "Just do exactly what I tell you to do." One day the old blacksmith took an iron out of the forge and laid it on the anvil. "Get the hammer over there," he said. "When I nod my head, hit it real good and hard."
Now the town is looking for a new blacksmith.

A young businessman had just started his own company. He rented a beautiful office and had it furnished with antiques. While sitting there, he saw a man come into the outer office.
Wishing to appear a hot shot in demand, the businessman picked up the phone and started to pretend he had a big deal working.
He threw around big financial numbers and made giant commitments. Finally he hung up and asked the visitor, "Can I help you?"
The man said, "Yeah, I've come to activate your phone lines."

Clairol introduced the "Mist Stick", a curling iron, into German only to find out that "mist" is slang for manure. Not too many people had use for the "manure stick."
When Puffs tissue started marketing their tissues in Germany it didn't do so well. The reason - Puff means "brothel" in Germany.
When Italian mineral water company promoted their mineral water Traficante it was a failure because the word "Traficante" means "drug dealer" in Spanish.
When Mitsubishi launched its Pajero 4WD in Spain they had the shock of a lifetime. As they were promoting Pajero they forgot to take into account the word "Pajero" means "jerk" in Spanish.

Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources person asked the hot-shot young Engineer, fresh out of MIT, "And what starting salary were you looking for?"
The engineer cooly said, "In the neighborhood of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package."
The interviewer said, "Well, what would you say to a package of 5 weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every 2 years - for starters, say, a red Corvette?"
The engineer tried to control his excitement, but sat straight up and said, "Wow! Are youkidding?" .
"Yeah," the interviewer shrugged, "But you started it."

The Open Source AMD R600 Driver Supports OpenGL 3.0
In a follow up to my previous post that Mesa3D (the open-source implementation of the OpenGL API) will begin supporting OpenGL 3.0 and GLSL 1.30 from the next release; Phoronix is reporting that the open source AMD driver for the R600 series of chipsets can now leverage the new OpenGL 3.0 support in Mesa.
The open-source AMD drivers are remarkably stable, although slower than AMD's official "fglrx" driver. The new OpenGL 3.0 support is an amazing step forward for the open-source driver stack.
This means that anyone with an R600 based card (which includes me!) will get full OpenGL 3.0 hardware acceleration out of the box on Linux after the next round of distro releases.
If anyone is curious to see the source code of the commit that introduces this support, take a look here.

*Press Samples*
This is B Polished Happy Holo Days Collection, and let me just say one thing, this is the perfect set for all your holiday parties! It's got great colors, awesome bling and even a textured snow polish done right! And best news of all, it's totally affordable as it's on sale this month! More details on that later in the post!
Let's get to the awesome swatches shall we?
First up I'll start with the bling. This is Silver Bells a Blinging! This is a beautiful silver stunner featuring super shiny silver flakies suspended in a an awesome holo base! Sparkle for days my friends. I used two coats for this opacity, and the polish does dry a little textured, but a single layer of a thicker top coat should smooth it out.
Next up we have Bling in the New Year. This is a beautiful partner to Silver Bells a Blinging, very similar in formula and sparkle. This is a gold holographic polish with shiny gold flakies. Two coats for opacity, dries a little textured, but one thick coat of top coat will take care of that!
This is Boughs of Holo, a beautiful metallic green with subtle holo finish. I used two coats for this opacity, formula on this was great, but I do see a little visible nail line so you might need three coats for total opacity. The holo finish in this is subtle and hard to capture in a photo, but this is a stunning green that is perfect for the holidays!
This is Red-y for the Holodays and it is an amazing polish! The perfect metallic red, this is a polish that I promise people will stop to compliment. This also has the same subtle holographic finish but the opacity in this one is STRONG! This was almost a one coater and I was so excited to realize this also stamps SO WELL, as I've showed in the macro above over Bling in the New Year. On Friday, you'll see me use this more for stamping for some winter nails I created for my nail art challenge!
This is December Baby, a gorgeous sapphire blue that has a beautiful fuchsia shimmer and subtle holographic finish. This polish totally rounds out the green and red in the collection, making the ultimate color combination perfect for the holiday party season! Two coats for opacity, perfect formula once again.
And finally we have a textured polish I don't hate! I know textures aren't for everyone, and I am among that crowd, B Polished has created a textured polish that totally reminds me of a fresh fallen snow, without it being too gritty. It's a gentle texture, that won't scratch you or ruin your sweaters! This is Winter's Wonderland, a textured white crelly with red and white glass flecks along with holographic flakies. This polish twinkles and mimics snowfall in a gentle beautiful way! Two coats for opacity, this was not difficult to apply at all!
Now the awesome details! These bottles normally retail at $10 each, but for the month of December they are on sale for $8 a pop! What a deal! And the full set is $50, but comes with a bonus top coat Prism Shield, a quick dry top coat that will not dull the holo finish of your polishes!!!
In the shot above I've showed how Prism Shield, does not dull the holo in Color Club Eternal Beauty one bit! The index and ring finger feature this top coat, and you can't even tell!
This brand is one that I've felt very privileged to get to know this year. Francine, the mastermind behind the brand, is local and I got to meet her earlier this year. I can tell she puts a lot of love into her brand and you can tell that just by what she puts into her packaging. I tried to get a shot of it below, the set came with these cute mini ornaments and she even scented the box! So much love and care!
So which of these are you most excited to try out?! I love the blingers for sure, but the colors really round out the collection as well! I would say this set is the best I've seen as an all around great cohesive holiday party set! So what are you waiting for?! These polishes are available now at the B Polished website!

Ladies and gentlemen what the heck is going on my name is Usman and today I'm bringing you guys a part 2 of how to rank up fast in infinite warfare zombies. Now I've done a part 1 where I explained everyting about how the ranking up system works, and what you can do to level up fast in iw zombies, things like that. So definitely check out part 1 before or after watching this video, I will link it down in the description as well a card should pop up by the end of this video. But I got a really cool new method for you in this video that I haven't talked about in the previous one that will rank you up super super fast in zombies and it is crazy how fast this thing can actually level you up.
I'm currently sitting at rank 41 and I haven't played that much, I haven't done the easter egg yet so you what I'm saying baby and on rank 40 you basically unlock all the guns & fate and fortune cards in the game and tbh all the cards looks the god dayum same to me, 1 in the comments if it does look the same to you, but dayum it we're getting off topic so let's get right into it.
Now first of all I tested the axe method which works btw but I don't recommend it because your gonna be jumping off of your seats like there's no tomorrow, basically even if you have slappy tuffy or whatever taffy that it is, I don't know man I just give up right here for the perks name. But when you don't have that perk and you got axe even on round 15 it's not going to be one hit kill, and basically melleing zombies gives you more xp and I know a lot of people are trying to do this, I'd say you're just going to rack up some xp and then you'll be disappointed because you'll die or meleing will be ineffctive.
Cause after round 20 that's when you get maximum round bonus xp, and a lot of zombies will be spawning in, that's when I highly recommend you to grind for xp, cause that's when you'll get the chance to get shieeet loads of xp and points, and you need points in the game to make this strategy useful. Now the simple formula you wanna try out here is that, once you get set with the guns you want, perks you want, and you are ready to go for high rounds which will also get you ranked up like I said, but once you're chilling you wanna try this out, make sure you have pack a punch open, if you need a rapid fire 2 mins guide for opening up pack a punch, I'll have a link in the description. Now all you wanna do here is pack a punching your guns, it'll give you 500xp, now the best way to do I find here is purchasing oni and ma neighbour banshee and both of them cost 750 points and pack a punching a gun will cost you 500 points, now I know what you're thinking but skizzle the god dayuum starting room guns only cost 500 dog, I know, but the thing is I ain't got time and trust you'll say the same once you start pack a punching shieet lots of guns, so when you get oni, definitely go ham, make tons of points and pack a punch it, make points, buy the banshee, pack a punch it and get the oni back, make points pack a punch it, da da da you get the idea, now if you got a gun and a wonder weapon you don't want to get rid of or you wanna speed up the process, get mule kick aka mule muchies to make this extra fly and trust me this is mega fy on double xp days, but definitely check out part 1 for more xp info, and smash that like button and subscribe by smash that bell for more videos.

Norman Lear and Sherman Hemsley - When Great Minds Work Together
Who doesn't remember All in the Family or The Jeffersons? I'm grateful to have grown up with both of those shows. I grew up in a time when I could see and hear, through the character Archie Bunker, how stupid racism was. I grew up in a time when it didn't occur to me that there was anything new about seeing a Black family who "moved on up" to a "deluxe apartment in the sky" (as The Jeffersons theme song goes). Seeing a biracial couple who lived next door to The Jeffersons seemed perfectly normal to me. As a kid, it didn't cross my mind that generations before me saw a different version of television. As an adult, I understand just how different television was in the 70's and 80's compared to the 50's and 60's. I'm grateful to Norman Lear, Sherman Hemsley, and everyone else who worked hard to make a difference in American television.
I'm not saying all the TV shows before the 70's were bad. Definitely not! But, American television did need to change. America needed to change.
As much as some people over the years have tried to claim that all T.V. is junk that isn't worth watching, I can tell you from my own experience as a kid who got to grow up with shows like All in the Family and The Jeffersons, that this just isn't true. I learned from Archie Bunker how NOT to think. The audience laughed AT him. Even though I was just a little girl, I got it. His ignorant thinking was foolish. What little girl would want to grow up and think like Archie Bunker?
Although The Jeffersons weren't as political, they still made me think. To this day, when I see a vintage glass doorknob, I think of Louise Jefferson. When she found out that the Harlem building she grew up in was being torn down by the city, she visited her childhood home. I remember how she felt while looking at the old glass doorknobs, reflecting back on what they meant to her as a child. She said that as a little girl, she used to think of them as diamonds, and that one day she wanted to sell them and become rich. She spoke to my heart. I related to being a little girl who would have big daydreams. It was nice for me to see that indeed Louise did become rich. But, I felt sympathy for the loss of her childhood home. To this day, I hate when old buildings are torn down just to build new buildings, if the old buildings are salvageable. And, to this day, I have a special place in my heart for diamond doorknobs.
It takes great minds working together to make greatness and to make change. Norman Lear created and wrote great shows, like The Jeffersons. Talented, hardworking actors like Isabel Sanford and Sherman Hemsley brought the characters to life and made them real for us.
Sherman Hemsley passed away this week. I'm sorry we won't get to see him in any new shows. But, his memory will live on through his TV performances on The Jeffersons, Amen, and many other shows, along with films and music.
The birthday of Norman Lear happens to also be this week. Norman Lear celebrates his 90th birthday tomorrow. Norman Lear clearly isn't one to let old thinking and ways of the past get in his way of fresh ideas and progress, so of course he is still working at this age. If you check out his Wikipedia page, you'll see that he was just recently working on a new sitcom. You'll also see the long list of television shows written and produced by Norman Lear. Wow! Happy 90th Birthday, Norman Lear!
Thank you to jrmyjnz for posting the video clip on YouTube!

Fanshawe College, London, Ontario
Fanshawe College in London, Ontario recently installed three of our TS40 Pedestrian Crossing Flashing LED Edge Lit Signs to mark a dangerous crosswalk. Because of a sharp bend in the road, the crosswalk was not visible to approaching drivers. Two of the TS40s were placed adjacent to the crosswalk, and the third was placed ahead of the bend in the road to provide an early warning to drivers of the upcoming crosswalk. The signs feature a built-in photocell that automatically activates the sign LEDs at night.
CityScape Phoenix, AZ
CityScape Phoenix recently installed two of our TS40 Custom Flashing LED Edge Lit Signs marking the exits of its parking garage.

Now that we've grown accustomed to the computer we
tend to forget that back in the day our bicycles were ordered on paper by our local bike shop over the phone or through the mail. We love the rugged hand-made simplicity of this mimeographed order form.
(Mouseover form to enlarge, use up and down arrow keys to scroll)
Lotus offered 22 different model bicycles in 1987, 21
on this list and the special order Cinelli Design Supreme.
Bikes came in 4 to 9 sizes and 1 to 3 colors. To stock
the full line of bikes in every model, color and size you'd need room for over 300 bicycles.
The Excelle and the Unique were available in 9 sizes
each and in 3 colors each. It seems logical that the best selling bicycles would be available in the most sizes and colors.
The Eclair was only available in 4 sizes but you could
have any color you wanted as long as it was navy blue.
For simplicity in ordering and inventory control the
bikes were assigned a letter-number code, L-1 through
The column on the left are the Lotus road bikes and the column on the right are Lotus touring, ATB and the new
for 1987 Aluminum Leger and Esprit at the L-20 and
L-21 positions.
Also on this list is the T-1 and T-2 Cruiser and the T-3 Urban Explorer. Given the "T" designation we're taking
a guess that these were not Lotus models as they aren't listed in the 1987 sales information.

U.S.'s Kerry says not in rush to get Iran nuclear deal

The 2-day, Kiamichi Owa-Chito Festival of the Forest is held annually the third weekend in June at Beavers Bend State Park in Broken Bow, OK. For over 40 years, the festival's mission has been to stage an annual Festival of the Forest while promoting the beauty, heritage and culture of Kiamichi Country to the people of Oklahoma and the visitors from around the world.
The festival will feature forestry competitions that bring back memories of "the good ole days"! The spirit and heritage of the forest comes to life in the contest of men and women who make their living from the woods. Contests include double buck sawing, ax throwing, jack-n-jill crosscut, as well as other forestry events. Each year, a "Bull of the Woods" winner is selected from the field and this year a new award will be presented to the "Crew of the Woods."
Get ready for chainsaws, log rolling and more as The All American Lumberjack Show perform live. These professional lumberjacks will show off their skills in several areas including: Cross-cut sawing; Spring Board Tree-Topping; Stock Saw; Quick Carve and water events including the Boom Run and Log Rolling. You may have seen this event on TV, but now is your chance to see it live and maybe even participate.
In 1982, the Forest Heritage Center began honoring those who have contributed to the forest industry in this region. Each year, since then a Heritage Forester has been selected, with the presentation made at the annual Forestry Luncheon in June. This event is held during Oklahoma's Forestry Week and is the official for the Kiamichi Owa-Chito Festival of the Forest.
The Festival of the Forest will be held June 21-22, 2019.
For more information contact the Forest Heritage Center Museum at 580-494-6497 (office) or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

T. Williams to Release New 12" Via Local Action
For the seventh record set to be released via Local Action, the bass-centric UK label has once again procured the talents of DJ/producer T. Williams, who crafted three instrumental tracks for the 12" (pictured above). "Break Broke," "Go In," and "Analog Tour" follow almost a year after the London-based artist's "Heartbeat" single for the same label, and will drop some time during the latter part of September. You can listen to clips of the songs before they're available, below.

The lack of diversity in the industry isn't necessarily news to anyone. A survey of the fall 2015 fashion shows conducted by The Fashion Spot found that out of 9,538 model bookings in 373 shows, 80% were white. And while industry leaders like Iman, Naomi Campbell, Bethann Hardison, and Tyson Beckford have been long-standing advocates of ending racism on the runway, the issue is still looming large.
"I'm tired of complaining about not getting [booked] as a Black model, and I'm definitely super-tired of apologizing for my blackness!!... Why can't we be part of fashion fully and equally?"
Dear white people in the fashion world! Please don't take this the wrong way but it's time you people get your shit right when it comes to our complexion! Why do I have to bring my own makeup to a professional show when all the other white girls don't have to do anything but show up wtf! Don't try to make me feel bad because I am blue black its 2015 go to Mac, Bobbi Brown, Makeup forever, Iman cosmetic, black opal, even Lancôme and Clinique carried them plus so much more. there's so much options our there for dark skin tones today. A good makeup artist would come prepare and do there research before coming to work because often time you know what to expect especially at a show! Stop apologizing it's insulting and disrespectful to me and my race it doesn't help, seriously! Make an effort at least! That goes for NYC, London, Milan, Paris and Cape Town plus everywhere else that have issues with black skin tones. Just because you only book a few of us doesn't mean you have the right to make us look ratchet. I'm tired of complaining about not getting book as a black model and I'm definitely super tired of apologizing for my blackness!!!! Fashion is art, art is never racist it should be inclusive of all not only white people, shit we started fashion in Africa and you modernize and copy it! Why can't we be part of fashion fully and equally?
It's a question that would seem to belong in the '60s, rather than 2015. Iman and Jourdan Dunn have talked about their experiences and frustrations around being models of color, but it's still a topic that goes largely undiscussed. Paul says she thinks the overwhelming silence is mostly due to fear of not getting hired.
"There's a fear within all of us girls that are modeling…even for me — I don't want to be labeled as an angry Black girl for speaking my truth; I don't want to not be able to book jobs because I'm speaking about what's going on," she told us in an interview. "So, for a lot of people, there's a fear that you're going to be sidelined or you're going to be blacklisted, [even though] it's a serious issue that in the long run deals with racism."
As esteemed makeup artist Sir John puts it, the job of those with voices in the beauty industry is not only to come prepared, but to create a safe, welcoming space for models of all races and backgrounds. "You have to realize that these girls feel alienated, and that makes you feel undervalued. [They] sit in our chairs and render themselves completely helpless, to a certain extent, and they expect you to have everything from A to Z," he says. "It's almost like being a doctor. You don't look at bodies and say, 'Oh, I don't work on this type or that type,' you just know that you need to go to work. And so, if you start to have a hesitation about, 'Can I handle this or not?' then you need to go back to school, or start to assist longer and figure out what the needs of today are."
You have [a] problem in the industry where you can only have one major girl at a time who's 'ethnic'…you're forced to pick between Joan and Jourdan, or Naomi and Tyra, and this doesn't happen to Karlie, this doesn't happen to Linda Evangelista.
But as Sir John mentions, the blame doesn't fall solely on the makeup artists — plenty do come prepared — it also circles back to the booking process. "It's indicative of how the casting is, and how predictable makeup artists and hairstylists feel the casting is going to be. I can blindly pack my bag because I know [the model's] going to be Caucasian, or an Eastern European girl," he says. "You have [a] problem in the industry where you can only have one major girl at a time who's 'ethnic'…you're forced to pick between Joan and Jourdan, or Naomi and Tyra, and this doesn't happen to Karlie, this doesn't happen to Linda Evangelista."
She mentions that, once in a blue moon, there's an uproar about the lack of diversity on runways. In response, designers will put a model of color in a show just to, essentially, shut everyone up. But, as she reiterates in her latest Instagram post, the problem runs deeper than the inconvenience of having to bring your own foundation to a show, or being the "black dot" in a sea of white. It comes down to feeling inadequate, like you're less than your counterparts — an issue that reaches beyond fashion and beauty.
Dear white people in the fashion world! All women are beautiful in their own skin whether you are black, white, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, or Indian. Beauty is diverse and it deserved to be appreciated and honored by true artist who are free of prejudice or racism. I am not a racist, I am a human being expressing herself about the lack of diversity in the fashion world. Black models have never been a priority in this industry and they never will be if we don't addressed the root causes. Clearly there is a serious issue facing our world and we as a people are choosing to hide from the truth. We are a society that is too sensitive to the truth but we are hurting and have been for generations. You can't speak your mind as a black person without someone labeling you as an angry black woman, I mean how would white women feels if every time they tried to speak what's happening to them someone calls them names? How would a white girl feel to walk in my shoes as a blue black African girl in this western world? Learn to handle the truth without using racism as an escape goat every time so we can have a healthy dialogue about us and the issues facing us today. I am a child of Africa with many shades of darkness and have no hate for another human being in this world because I was raise to love all things life under God light. I am blue black and proud of it, I am beautiful in my own skin no matter how dark and scary people might feel around me. Embrace your blackness!!! #RefugeeGirl #SouthSudan #WeAreNilotic #Modellife #NiloticQueen #NiloticGirl #BlueBlack #Akobogirl #BlackModelsRock #Africangirlsrock #BlackBird #BeautyandPeace #WalkingArt #Africanstakingover #onepeople #onetribe #OneAfrica #ILOVEAFRICA. @marieclairesa
Until the industry gets it together, Paul's question — "Why can't we be part of fashion fully and equally?" — should serve as a call to action.

Jessica Alba's Honest company is not keeping things mellow with a health and wellness competitor it believes ripped off their brand name to boost sales ... according to a new suit.
Alba's company is going after a Colorado company, Honest Herbal -- which makes cannabinoid rich hemp products -- for trademark infringement. According to the docs ... Herbal intentionally jacked the 'Honest' name to confuse customers into thinking its products are associated with Alba's.
Honest Company claims it sent a letter to Honest Herbal earlier this month asking them to drop the Honest moniker to avoid a suit ... but it was ignored.
Honest Company's suing not just for money, but for an order forcing the other company to 86 the name.

GPS, Vehicle Navigation systems, and Google Maps. Ahhh the luxuries of the technological age.
I remember many nights spent printing out directions on MapQuest before leaving for a trip. Even more "ancient" than that….a few vacations involved pulling out an atlas and figuring out a new route.
A few short years ago printed directions and paper maps were our only ways of navigating the roads. Boy am I thankful that's not how it is anymore.
I don't "do" lost. Sure, I've been lost trying to find somewhere plenty of times. Toria and I have made more than our fair share of U-turns attempting to find our way around on spring break.
But we were never truly lost.
We weren't where we were suppose to be. We couldn't find where we were suppose to be. But we knew our navigation and our phones both knew where we were. We could type in somewhere to go, and it would take us there. It might not be exactly where we wanted to go, but we knew we could get somewhere.
And we could always get back home.
There's comfort in that. In knowing that you can always get back home. Because, to me, you're never truly lost if you can find your way back home.
But what happens when you can't find home anymore?
Recently, I've been reading a book by Jenny Simmons called "The Road to Becoming: Rediscovering your life in the not-how-I-planned-it moments".
As I've said before, I am a "make a plan, have a plan, stick to the plan" kind of girl. I need all of the help I can get when it comes to letting go of those plans and trusting Him in times when things don't go according to plan.
In the section of chapters I've read most recently, they are focused on being lost and what that truly looks like.
Jenny begins the section by talking about how her military dad explained to her and her sister the procedure they should follow if they ever found themselves lost in the woods by her house.
"If you get lost, the best thing you can do is to stay where you are and let someone come find you. Don't keep walking around. Just stay put."
I, too, was taught this as a child. And Jenny and I, well, we're on the same wave length when it comes to our response.
"I always found this to be an absolutely terrible idea. Terrible. It seemed so paralyzing and hopeless. Sitting still? In the woods? Waiting for nightfall, waiting to be eaten? Trusting someone else to come and un-lost you?
No thanks.
I'd rather get more lost. And be more terrified. And keep repeating the senseless cycle. Anything but siting in the lostness. Anything but waiting for someone else to come and find me."
Anything but sitting in the lostness. Anything but waiting for someone else to come and find me.
I so relate to that. I'm suppose to wait for someone else to come find me? I should just trust that someone else will notice I'm missing, come look for me, and successfully find me?
I'd rather just try to find my way out myself.
At this point in Jenny's story, she finds herself lost in her own life. The Christian band she was in her with her husband just dissolved, meaning her career vanished, she has become a full-time stay-at-home mom, and feels as if she's doing nothing she ever dreamed of with her life.
But what's even worse for her than feeling like she's doing nothing, is she can't even find any answers or directions about where to start. She's begging to be pulled out of the lostness and offered some direction, but nothing is happening. No doors are opened. No stellar advice is given. And no clear path is shown.
She's sitting, in the middle of her life, completely and totally lost.
And here's what she has to say about that season of her life, now that it's over:
"Had it been up to me, I would have become a lifelong barista. Not because I dreamed of pulling the perfect espresso shot, but because it was an answer. And sometimes, desperate people will take a wrong answer over no answer at all. But that really isn't the answer either, is it?…I dreaded looking at a blank calendar; I hadn't seen a blank month on the calendar in over a decade.
"I was neither virtuous nor interested in patience…And being lost along the way was definitely not taught in school or church. Self-reliance, fully mapped-out futures, and divine epiphanies, these were the things that young adults should strive for- not lostness. Accepting lostness as a viable way of existing, even for a short season, is not a mantra our culture is familiar with. It certainly sounded backwards to a girl who was desperate to move forwards. Yet time and time again the same message arrived at the door of my heart. Just be lost for awhile. My husband, parents, preachers, friends, therapists, random books I picked up to read, even song I heard for the first time, all echoed the same sentiment. Lean in to the lostness. Don't find your way out too soon. Riches hidden in secret places. Treasures in the darkness. Stay. Find them. Be lost. So many voices were reaching a fever pitch and the exhaustion from trying to un-lost myself was evident- so one morning, I gave in.
"It was time to embrace being a lost girl. Time to accept the seemingly insignificant nothingness of the blank page in front of me.
"Want to unnerve someone? Make peace with your lostness. When they ask 'What do you do?' respond like this: 'Well, I wake up and take a shower, sometimes. Then I look in the mirror and remind myself that I have no job, no future plans, and no 401(k) account. I tell myself this is exactly where I am supposed to be right now and I contend to do absolutely nothing about it because I have decided to be lost for a season. Then I usually go eat a bowl of cereal and watch The Today Show. So- I just do lostness. What about you? What do you do?'
"They will be horrified! Horrified! It is quite entertaining to watch. I once told this from the stage to a group of young, twenty-something Christian adults. They looked at me with disgusted shock. Their glares told me everything I needed to know about our culturally ingrained idols of productivity and purpose….Pity and judgement oozed out of them as they looked at me suspiciously, wondering if I was one of those people who lives off of the government instead of my own two hands! I instantly felt the weight of our generations disdain for lost people. And I smiled. Maybe I was doing the right thing after all.
"Did it ever cross their minds, I wondered….that the abundance of pity they felt for me could have just as easily been given to those in the room working jobs they hated, for companies they didn't believe in, simply to avoid being lost?
"Lostnesss is just a season, I told them. 'For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven….A time to search and a time to quit searching. A time to keep and a time to throw away.'
"Lostness is a season, says the writer of Ecclesiastes.
"We would rather focus on the other seasons in Ecclesiastes 3, like planting, building up, and harvesting, while disregarding the less attractive ones like quitting, dying, and throwing away. Our basic instinct tells us to hold on, not let go. Perhaps that is why we have become a culture of doers who would just as soon accept a wrong answer than quit searching and inhabit lostness for a time.
"Making peace with my lost state in life happened in small ways. Refusing to apply for a job at Starbucks- a job I knew wasn't meant for me. Shutting down the calendar and not looking at blank days as shame-driven motivation to just move on already. Learning to quiet the frantic voice in my soul that kept telling me THE WHOLE WORLD WOULD END if I did not figure out what came next. Replacing that voice instead with a simple prayer: You alone are a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. And relearning how to tell the truth to others about myself. This was hard since most people expect you to lie. When asked how life is going or what the plans for your future look like, no one expects the person answering to say, 'Actually, my future looks really bleak right now and I have no idea what comes next and I am a bit scared.' This kind of vulnerable honesty terrifies people. Especially Christians. What type of good Christian doesn't have a Jesus answer readily available?…I got the sense from many believers that in their opinion, I was a woman of little faith. Somehow my sitting in the dark reflected poorly on my faith in God.
"But I think it is the other way around. A person who is willing to inhabit their lostness has the faith of a great army. People who don't have faith don't allow themselves to get lost. They do not trust God to show up in the darkness and shine a light on the path that leads to being found. A faithless person holds on because they cannot control what happens when they let go. They are unwilling to follow anyone into the dark.
"As a person of deep faith who believes I have a good Guide who delivers lost people to found places, I no longer go the wrong way just to avoid impeded streams. Impeded streams bring me face-to-face with God. That is where the real spiritual journey begins.
"God sees what I cannot. He leads where there is no discernible road. He Himself is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Here at my impeded stream, after the dying and burying. I make a crucial decision to allow the season of lostness into my life. And I put the onus on God to un-lost me.
"I get the feeling He has been waiting for me to do this all along."
Our walk with God looks much different now, than it did for people like Noah and Abraham. People who had direct communication with God.
God led Abraham to a new land. And God led Noah to build the ark.
But the God of Abraham and Noah is still the God of today. He is a God who is still there, offering to lead us, maybe in different ways today than He led in the days of old, but still there. Still willing to lead us to the path He has prepared.
Don't settle for a wrong answer just because you want an answer.
Be patient. Settle into the lostness. And wait for Him.

Variety reports that Zac Efron (Neighbors) is set to headline 20th Century Fox and Chernin Entertainment's Mike & Dave Need Wedding Dates.
The raunchy comedy will follow two brothers who place an online ad to find dates for a wedding only to have the ad go viral. Fox is still actively searching for an actor to play the other brother opposite Efron.
TV director Jake Szymanski, best known for his work on "SNL" and Funny or Die, has been tapped to helm the comedy from a script by Andrew J. Cohen and Brendan O'Brien. Peter Chernin, David Ready, Jenno Topping and Jonathan Levine will produce.
Later this year, Efron is set to star opposite Robert De Niro in another comedy titled Dirty Grandpa at Lionsgate, as well as the drama We Are Your Friends with Emily Ratajkowski.

Barbara Honegger And The Pentagon Attack Papers in 2 Minutes
September 11, 2011
NORAD gave the 911 Commission 3 conflicting timelines and scenarios for air defense. response. The 911 Commission considered giving a criminal referral to the Department of Justice against NORAD and the FAA for perjury and obstruction of justice. but eventually declined to do so. The Air Force and NORAD lied to the Congress as well.
Mohammed Atta was photographed at the Portland Maine airport on the morning of 9-11. That airport was used by the CIA on rendition flights. (Think how ironic it would be if Atta was in Portland to participate in a CIA rendition only to become the biggest patsy of the 21st century.)
A 757 is 120 feet wing tip to wing tip but there was only a 90 foot wide hole in the Pentagon.
There were standing columns after the alleged impact. The 3 exit holes are perfectly round and look more like a punch out hole made from a shape charge. There is a V shaped symbol with a line through it which is an international rescue symbol for dead victims removed. This tells rescue workers that all victims have been removed. There were 3 C ring exit holes.
The plane nose which was made of light aluminum and was supposed to push its way 310 feet through 2 rings of reinforced concrete and kevlar.
The column failure ended at 120 feet inside the Pentagon. The plane was supposed to go an additional 190 feet and somehow not cause column failure but be able to exit the C ring.
There is no pathway from the entrance point to the alleged exit hole without intact columns.
The outside wall had wire mesh, 5 feet of reinforced concrete, kevlar and 16 inches of brick.
What was alleged to be the Flight Data recorder for Flight 77 had no serial number. This is contrary to federal law which requires a serial number to identify all plane parts in case of a crash.
The alleged Flight Data recorder has a break in data and indicates tampering. It does not record changes in altitude recorded by radar before Flight 77′s transponder was turned off.
There is a problem with the plane parts in the photos taken of the Pentagon lawn. The largest debris on the lawn is from the starboard (right) of a 757 was found on the port (left) side.
The FBI has refused to release serial numbers for parts that were alleged to be from Flight 77.

It almost made me sick when nearly everyone involved with the cub franchise ended up blaming a fan for costing them the WS. I just don't understand how reasonable people could possibly blame that fan. Also, I've been in those seats. Catching a foul ball there is not a foregone conclusion. I doubt if Moises Alou could have made that catch in the first place.
Also, some of you guys should be ashamed of yourselves. Cheering for the cubs to blow a playoff series is almost as bad as ancient Romans cheering for the lions while they tore apart Christians.
However, it was nice to hear the same cub fans who blamed the fan whine and wail about AJ in 2005.

2016. Wow, who would've thought time would fly by that fast? It seems like 2015 was just yesterday and now we're heralding in 2016. The start of the year has been interesting for me, with a week left on my holidays, alas - ailment struck. And just like that I've been out for 2 weeks; days I would not want to recount.
Though the year begun slightly unplanned, I'm optimistic that the coming weeks will bring in amazing times. Opportunities abound and I'm excited for what is to come.
It has been a while since I've done a shoot and I'm rearing to get another one in the books soon. There are some new locations in our sunny city that I would love to just visit but before anything else, I wanted to share the last vestiges of a fashion shoot I've done a while back.
Just loved the idea of using prints as a pop of color amidst the city background and I must say Gucci perfectly suits you up for that. Though mine was from a stash a couple of seasons back, I do think it fits the bill perfectly. Fret not, If you're after a printed look, Gucci's new artistic direction can definitely set you up for more amazing ones. Personally excited for the upcoming Men's FW16 showcase tomorrow and RTW FW16 in a few weeks' time.
Enough said. 2016 will definitely herald in some amazing times and I am looking forward to all of them. Can't wait for what the year will unfold - work-wise, in the field of fashion, for my blog and so much more!
