[ Pix source : Official Production Site ]Was at the opening show last night. Came home almost 1 am and got a minor ticking off by Papito for not calling up to inform i'll be late. Hee. Sorry Abah.. lain kali tak buat lagi eh.
And yes, it was good. The play, I meant, not the ticking off.
There are things they did differently compared to the first run, some scenes were taken out and new ones added in, but all the main ingredients were there. Except for Sean Ghazi and Siti Nurhaliza (replaced by Musly Ramlee -no family relation to the late Tan Sri though-, and Emilda Rosmila).
Of course one can't help to do comparisons :)
Review coming.

These results are published in the Bulletin Epidémiologique Hebdomadaire (BEH ) from Santé Publique France.
The Constances cohort is a unique research project in France, launched in 2012 following a pilot phase in 2009. Constances now collates health data from more than 110,000 volunteers aged 18 to 69. The volunteers, members of the French general social security system, were selected at random. Every 5 years, they are invited to undergo a health examination in one of 22 health examination centres run by the social security system spread over 20 regions, completing a questionnaire every year. Involving the health examination centres in implementing the Constances cohort is consistent with their historical role among people falling outside the French healthcare system.
"Data from the cohort are used to analyse the state of health of the French population and to give a better understanding of what happen throughout life. After several years spent recruiting, we have been able to analyse the data and provide the first estimates, particularly about the prevalence of excess weight and obesity" explains Marie Zins, Inserm coordinator of the Constances cohort.
Regarding the prevalence of excess weight and obesity, data have been studied from nearly 29,000 participants aged 30 to 69 years old in 2013. Nearly one in two French people could be overweight and general obesity, defined as a BMI > 30 kg/m2, could be close to 16%, although abdominal obesity, defined as a waist measuring ≥ 94 cm for men and ≥ 80 cm for women, proves to be much more common (between 41.6% and 48.5%).
These data confirm the trends observed in the ObÉpi survey (2012) that collects data every three years on the prevalence of excess weight and obesity. In this survey, participants are asked by telephone about their waist measurement and their weight. In Constances, unlike the ObÉpi survey, the protocol for measuring BMI and waist is standardised in the health examination centres, where healthcare professionals take the measurements.
Details about age and income are also included in study and data to identify places/regions, among the areas analysed, where obesity is most prevalent. These are the Nord, where the prevalence of obesity reaches 25.6%, and Meurthe and Moselle (22.9%). Paris is least affected by obesity, with prevalence of 10.7%.

Towards 200,000 volunteers
The French national adult cohort is funded by the 'Investing in the Future' Programme. Initially set up by Inserm, Cnamts and the University of Versailles-Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, the size and operation of the Constances cohort match other large cohorts being set up in Europe. European collaborations already enable very large scale research and unprecedented international comparisons.
The aim is to include 200,000 volunteers.

On November 23rd, 2010, Eminent Domain became the first big game success on Kickstarter. It had the most backers at 699 and most funding at $48,378, a record which stood for 9 months.
Eminent Domain just got even hotter with this first big expansion.
EMINENT DOMAIN: ESCALATION is an expansion and require Eminent Domain to be able to play it.
Escalation is the first big expansion for Eminent Domain. In Escalation, you get:
- To play with up to 5 players.
- Different functions for the different ship models from Eminent Domain.
- New technologies and new ways to obtain technology.
- Scenarios that breathe new life into Eminent Domain with variable starting positions.
- Some direct conflict is introduced through 3 of the new tech cards.
Eminent Domain: Escalation is an expansion to Eminent Domain and the base game is required to play. The following video will show you both how to play and one reviewer's opinion of Eminent Domain.
Eminent Domain: Escalation Rules ver 3.0 (Not graphically laid out yet)
Backers of Eminent Domain: Escalation will get the following in their copies of Escalation (This includes the stretch rewards unlocked):
- 15 Planet Cards (Civilized x6, Hostile x3, Bustling x6)
- 6 Start Planet Tiles
- 5 Fleet Tiles
- 32 New Technology Cards (Advanced x9, Fertile x9, Metallic x9, Diverse x5)
- 18 Scenario Cards - Abundance, Battlecruiser, Scientific Discovery, Spoils of War, Colony Ship, Knowledge is Power, Overseer, Streamlined, Biosphere, Arms Dealer, Destroyer, Black Market, Explorer, Scorched Earth, Artificial Intelligence, Fertile Ground, Imperialism and Warmonger.
- 28 Role Cards (5 Players Now Supported)
- 1 Player Aid Tile
- 2 Central Display Errata Stickers (Warfare icon, Survey Icon)
- 3 Errata Cards (Logistics, Abundance, Bureaucracy)
- PROMO PACK (FREE FOR BACKERS) - 2 Additional Scenario Cards - Iconoclast & Double Trouble
- PROMO PACK (FREE FOR BACKERS) - Prestige Start Planet
- PROMO PACK (FREE FOR BACKERS) - 2 Utopian Planets
- PROMO PACK (FREE FOR BACKERS) - Military/Economic Alternate Victory Condition Card
- KICKSTARTER EXCLUSIVE - Foil Stamped Boxes with Digital Signatures
- 9-Planet Bonus Expansion
Eminent Domain has been one of my absolute favorite games ever since I first tested it in 2010. I liked it so much that Seth Jaffee made me a prototype copy for my birthday in June of 2010.
I especially enjoy the variety of unique tech cards, and how winning a race to a specific tech can lead to victory since there is only one of each.
Escalation adds 32 new technologies to choose from as well as methods to obtain them. Take for example, the technology, Wealth of Knowledge:
You can buy Wealth of Knowledge with 2 destroyers instead of paying 5 research symbols. Once in play, it will make your survey cards very powerful, opening up some new strategic lines of play.
Wait, what is a Destroyer? I thought all of the ships were called fighters? They were! Eminent Domain: Escalation, adds different meanings and powers to the different ship models.
Hundreds of hours of game play testing and development have gone into Eminent Domain: Escalation, and it is now ready for you.
During one of these play testing sessions, we were curious about the power balance of many individual tech cards. For example, we wanted to know if Fertile Ground was more powerful than the Weapon's Emporium.
So, we played a game where we started with them, and scenarios were born. Scenarios are asymmetric starting positions where each player starts with a level 2 technology and a different and thematic starting deck.
Now we have 20 scenarios designed and tested.
We would love to be able to give you all 20 scenario cards, and you will be able to unlock them through stretch goals...
Developing, manufacturing, shipping, and delivering games is expensive. As we receive more funding, we can put more into each game box.
So, each time we cross another funding threshold as described below, then we will provide the corresponding upgrade to Eminent Domain: Escalation:
- UNLOCKED @ $25,000 - Eminent Domain: Escalation Funds
- UNLOCKED @ $30,000 - 2 Additional Scenario Cards - Artificial Intelligence & Fertile Ground
- UNLOCKED @ $35,000 - 2 Additional Scenario Cards - Explorer & Scorched Earth
- UNLOCKED @ $40,000 - 2 Additional Scenario Cards - Imperialism & Streamlined
- UNLOCKED @ $45,000 - 2 Additional Scenario Cards - Knowledge Is Power & Overseer
- UNLOCKED @ $50,000 - 2 Additional Scenario Cards - Spoils of War & Colony Ship
- UNLOCKED @ $55,000 - 2 Additional Scenario Cards - Battlecruiser & Scientific Discovery
UNLOCKED @ $70,000 - PROMO PACK INCLUDED (for sale later):
- UNLOCKED - PROMO PACK @ $70,000 - 2 Additional Scenario Cards - Iconoclast & Double Trouble +
- UNLOCKED - PROMO PACK @ $70,000 - Prestige Start Planet
- UNLOCKED - PROMO PACK @ $70,000 - 2 Utopian Planets
- UNLOCKED - PROMO PACK @ $70,000 - Military/Economic Alternate Victory Condition Card
- UNLOCKED @ $100,000 - All copies of Eminent Domain: Escalation and Eminent Domain pledged for through the Kickstarter campaign will have foil stamped signatures on the covers. (EXCLUSIVE TO KICKSTARTER)
- UNLOCKED @ $100,000 - All copies of Eminent Domain: Escalation which are pledged for in this project will have the mini expansion of 9-bonus planets included in their box.
- @ $130,000 - A supply of 3-Fighter tokens will be added to Eminent Domain: Escalation. These will help when managing supplies of fighters.
A La Carte items are a good way to customize your individual pledge to get you exactly what you want. For example, you might be an avid fan of Eminent Domain and want the expansion for yourself and a gift for friends.
A La Carte items can be added to any pledge level and are in addition to your base pledge.
Every A La Carte item will have the appropriate stretch rewards.
These are for USA delivery:
- Eminent Domain: Escalation - Add $25 to your pledge
- Eminent Domain + Eminent Domain: Escalation - Add $50 to your pledge
A La Carte items can only be added to pledge levels that get rewards. These are for CANADIAN delivery:
- Eminent Domain: Escalation - Add $38 to your pledge
- Eminent Domain + Eminent Domain: Escalation - Add $80 to your pledge
A La Carte items can only be added to pledge levels that get rewards. These are for WORLDWIDE delivery:
- Eminent Domain: Escalation - Add $45 to your pledge
- Eminent Domain + Eminent Domain: Escalation - Add $95 to your pledge
Eminent Domain has been immensely successful thus far, but it is hard to tell how much demand there is for the first big expansion.
It could be that there is only demand enough to print about 2,000 copies, or there could be sufficient demand for 5,000 copies. And printing the wrong quantity would either lead to shortages of games or financial losses which could prevent the 2nd big expansion (Exotica) from coming out.
There is no way for me to know before printing. In addition, the financial resources of TMG are currently tied up in games like Rialto, Village, Village Inn, Il Vecchio, and so forth.
Our capacity to discover, design, and develop quality games is currently greater than our financial capacity to produce them and maintain existing product lines. Therefore, we turn to the fans and early adopters to help us fund many of our games on Kickstarter.
Thanks to your support I can live my dream of publishing wonderful games, connecting people, and strengthening families. For that I am eternally grateful. To date I have been able to publish over a dozen games, including the recent breakthrough success of Dungeon Roll on Kickstarter.
I hope you find Eminent Domain as awesome as I do. If you would like a computer wallpaper, then click here.
I hope that you will back Eminent Domain: Escalation by clicking the large green "Back This Project" button at the top of the page.
I hope that you will allow me to continue living my dream of publishing great board games.

Risks and challenges
There are numerous risks associated with the process of delivering published games. We have published over a dozen games, including several Kickstarter projects. We have learned many things along our journey, and are fully confident that we will be able to deliver Eminent Domain: Escalation before December of 2013.
A delay in delivering any game is likely to come from one of 3 main sources, artwork, manufacturing quality control, and freight logistics. Our artwork is already finished, the manufacturing process is relatively simple, and we have left enough cushion for freight problems.
We have taken steps to mitigate the risks to prompt delivery which we have discovered thus far in our game publishing careers.
Specifically, for Eminent Domain:
All of the artwork is finished except for the planets which can have names added to them as chosen by Kickstarter backers. We have been working with Panda Games Manufacturing for many years now, and they are ready to start the printing process as soon as we have this final bit of art which will take about 1-2 hours to complete.
After that, it will be about 10-12 weeks for manufacturing and 4 weeks for ocean freight to ship the game from China to the USA. Once received at our warehouse in the USA, we will ship Eminent Domain promptly out to backers.
Regarding delivery of Dungeon Roll, which recently finished:
Dungeon Roll is being manufactured by Grand Prix International, which did our previous dice game of Martian Dice along with other games like Zombie Dice, Rory's Story Cubes, Bananagrams, For The Win, Munchkin, and more. They are very capable manufacturers.
The molds for the custom dice have already been started, and all of the artwork for the game is completed. We have delivered 100% of the files to GPI to print, and I will be wiring them the remainder of tooling costs +50% of the manufacturing costs on Monday April 1st, 2013
After that, it will take them approximately 10-12 weeks to fully manufacture the game, after which we are prepared and setup to start the shipping of the games from China to our warehouse in the United States. This will take about 4 weeks.
Once in the United States, we will be shipping Dungeon Roll to backers.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

"Video could not be more important to our future, and is a personal mission of mine," says Rob Barrett, VP for News and Finance at Yahoo, in this interview with Beet.TV.
Barrett explains that video will be the primary medium on mobile and tablet devices and increasingly on the Web.
We spoke after ABC News and Yahoo announced a joint production and syndication arrangement for original news programming.
He says the world's biggest news site, with its roots in print, is becoming increasingly "video-centric."

|First Appearance:
|Jussie Smollett
Lucious named him as his successor in the season one finale "Who I Am", and promoted him to Vice-Chairman of Empire Entertainment. He was also the interim CEO while his father was incarcerated. He is portrayed by actor Jussie Smollett, and he first appears in "Pilot". He will not appear again in Empire because Smollett got arrested for lying and saying two black men poured bleach on him and hit him and yelled slurs at him. This caused Fox to remove his character from the final two episodes.
Before the Pilot
Jamal had shown signs of being effeminate when he was a child, and was thrown in the trash by his father, who did not want a son like that. His mother, Cookie, stood up for him, but after her incarceration, he grew up without her for 17 years, during which his father often abused him in an attempt to toughen him up to "make him into a man".
Jamal had released a self-titled album nearly ten years ago, at age 18, however it did not have wide commercial success outside of Williamsburg or Berkeley.
Season 1
Jamal is introduced playing piano while performing Live In The Moment, alongside his brother, Hakeem. Lucious announces that both Jamal and Hakeem will be releasing albums this year. Meanwhile, he and his brothers arrive at their father's house as their father announces that he will be choosing a successor among them to take over his father's place as CEO of Empire Entertainment. However, Jamal, revealed to be gay, doubts that he will be chosen prior to their relationship and the African-American homophobia in the community. He refuses to be involved in the music industry because of it. When Cookie surprisingly visits Jamal's apartment, he is shocked, especially since Cookie doesn't know about his relationship with his boyfriend, Michael. A flashback shows Jamal visiting his mother in jail as a child. Cookie views Jamal as "different," but shows her acceptance of him regardless.
It is evident that Jamal's relationship with his father is tense. When Lucious calls him to arrive at the record company, Lucious claims that his sexuality is a choice. Jamal, unsure of releasing an album, feels distant from his father. Meanwhile, a flashback depicts Jamal dressing in heels and shows it to his family downstairs. Lucious chases after him in anger for dressing that way, and Cookie attempts to stop him. This flashback continues once Jamal performs Good Enough to an audience. Lucious puts Jamal in a trash can until Cookie stops him. His song describes his estranged relationship with Lucious, feeling distant and that he tries to live up to his standards.
Cookie wants to help Jamal in his career. She then asks to manage his career but denies. Jamal refuses to share his music to the world. Jamal and Hakeem discuss Cookie and Lucious, where Jamal denies that if Cookie manages him while Lucious manages Hakeem, there will be conflict between them. Jamal helps Hakeem with his music after struggling to record songs that Lucious wrote for him, but when Lucious doesn't acknowledge him for it, Jamal decides to accept Cookie's plan to manage him and make him a star.
The Outspoken King
While Jamal decides to hire Cookie as his manager, Cookie convinces him to perform his latest song at Laviticus, the location where Hakeem is slated to perform. However, while Lucious continues to deny Cookie's request, because of Jamal's "different audience," Jamal is conflicted when Cookie assembles a press conference for coming out as a gay artist. However, Lucious threatens Jamal's career, concerned for his business and losing artists from Empire. If Jamal comes out, then Lucious would disown him. Therefore, Jamal backs out of the press conference, abandoning Cookie, and he performs his song, Tell The Truth, a song referring to his father. Meanwhile, Hakeem convinces Jamal to perform with him at Laviticus, and the duo performs No Apologies, with positive reception from the audience, and shock from Lucious.
The Devil Quotes Scripture
Although Cookie strives to find songwriters for Jamal, in order to promote a breakout hit and spark competition with Hakeem, Jamal refuses to be in competition with his brother. Meanwhile, Jamal attends Bunkie's funeral service. Later on, Jamal practices a song that Cookie's old friend gives to him, titled Up All Night, and adds his own twist. At a family gathering, Jamal performs the song, in hopes of impressing his father, but the outcome backfires as he considers other singers to give the song to. With disappointment, Jamal confronts Lucious about the song and departs from the house. Later on, Lucious enters Jamal's loft, augmenting the confrontation. As a result, Jamal voluntarily moves out of his loft and reveals his plot to Michael - to take over Empire Enterprises. F False Imposition
After Jamal moves into a smaller, uncomfortable apartment with Michael, Jamal is suffering from writer's block with his music, and Cookie convinces him to break through that obstacle. Hakeem, meanwhile, seeks advice from Jamal when he has an issue with Tiana. Meanwhile, as Jamal experiences his writer's block, he walks around his new neighborhood as a song vaguely enters his head, intimating the idea of Keep Your Money.
Dangerous Bonds
Jamal escorts Cookie to a recording studio in the ghetto, titled Ghetto Ass Records, where he could only afford it for one day to record and release a new single. Throughout the episode, Jamal continues to record Keep Your Money, he expresses his concern about Cookie's disappearance and the quality of the song. Meanwhile, Jamal and the sound engineers at Ghetto Ass Studios are robbed at gunpoint by Hakeem's friends, with Andre as the mastermind. When one of the engineers is shot in the arm, the producers are ambivalent towards overextending Jamal's stay because of the altercation. Within a few hours, Jamal assembles more vocalists and band members to make his song worth completing. After the song is complete, Jamal and Cookie revel in the success. At the end of the episode, Jamal confronts Hakeem when he discovers that Hakeem's friends were part of the robbery, leading to a physical altercation.

As a gay man, Jamal is aware of the homophobia in African-American communities. Jamal doesn't seem to abide by society's views on the music industry and how it is set up, showing why he doesn't want to release an album. He has a strong relationship with his mother Cookie, who envisions his stardom despite his sexuality. His relationship with his father Lucious is however, is filled with tension and estrangement. Throughout season 1, his father's acceptance of him soon leads him through a personality change which suspiciously begins to reflect that of Lucious.
Michael Sanchez (ex-boyfriend)
Michael and Jamal were dating each other, as well as living together. Michael left Jamal, packing his bags, saying that he is in love with his music- Jamal denied saying he loves him. Michael says "No, I love you."
Jamal and Michael get back together in the show's second season. Jamal and Ne-Yo will be hitting the road together and Lucious advises Jamal not to take Michael along. Ne-Yo tells Jamal not to listen to his father. Michael cheats on Jamal with the sleazy photographer who shot Jamal's Rolling Stone cover. Although Jamal is a superstar who can have anything he wants the one man he loves hurts him because he's threatened by Jamal's fame.
Lucious Lyon (father)
Jamal and Lucious are father and son. Lucious looks down at Jamal due to his sexuality. Jamal has tried appealing to his father who always shuts him down causing a loathsome relationship between the two. Jamal is very much like his father but he does not share his father's ambition of success or the willingness to burn anything or anyone for it. At the end of season 1 Lucious finally accepts Jamal and puts him in charge of Empire.
Lucious and Jamal's relationship has improved by the show's second season. Lucious is territorial about Jamal's career, preventing him from working with Cookie and encouraging him to break up with Michael. The two collaborate for Jamal's Pepsi song showing how much progress they have made. While Lucious has improved he still has work to do when it comes to accepting Jamal's sexual orientation. Although Lucious saw beyond Jamal's homosexuality in naming him his successor to head Empire, Lucious' reaction to Jamal and Skye hooking up reveals that the former CEO of Empire still has a substantial amount of work to do.
In Empire's mid-season finale Lucious states, "Ain't that a bitch" after he finds out that him and Jamal have both been nominated for American Sound Awards. Jamal's manager, Jamison (William Fichtner) predicted Jamal's nomination for Song of the Year. Jamison hates Lucious, who received his Song of the Year nomination for "Boom Boom Boom Boom" featuring Freda Gatz. In the episode "Rise By Sin", a conflict ensues between Lucious and Jamal as Lucious walks in on Jamal and D-Money in the studio which infuriates him and ends with Lucious saying that he will celebrate the day that Jamal contracts AIDS and dies. However later in the episode, Jamal is accidentally shot by Freda Gatz at the ASA's as she meant to shoot Lucious after finding out he is the one responsible for her father's murder. It is also revealed in the same episode that either Lucious or Jamal won the award that they were nominated for.
Cookie Lyon (mother)
Cookie is Jamal's mother. In Empire's first scene of the show's initial season, Cookie is released from prison and her first stop is Jamal's house showing how close the two are despite Cookie's 17 years behind bars. Cookie and Jamal share a special bond and Cookie will do anything to help Jamal achieve his goals. Although the two are close Jamal never told Cookie about his relationship with Michael. Cookie is surprised to find out about the relationship in the show's first episode but she makes it clear that she loves Jamal no matter who he decides to date. After Lucious puts Jamal in a trash can for wearing heels Cookie rushes to retrieve her middle-son, letting Lucious know that he has lost his mind. Jamal remembers instances like these and loves Cookie for always having his back.
With Cookie and Jamal attempting to hide their relationship from Hakeem and Lucious the two were unable to share their love for each other as frequently as they wished and they missed out on opportunities to create the spectacular music they are known for.
Now that Hakeem has left Lyon Dynasty and Lucious is no longer the CEO of Empire, Cookie and Jamal can collaborate as much as they wish without hurting anyone's feelings! It will be interesting to see if Jamal decides to leave Empire and join Lyon Dynasty.
Andre Lyon (brother)
Andre Lyon is Jamal's older brother. In the show's first season Andre was a different person. As Cookie and Lucious' oldest son, without musical talent, Andre doesn't think that Lucious will give him the opportunity to lead Empire Entertainment. As a result, Andre decides that he must take extreme measures in order to prove his worth. Andre's wife, Rhonda, made things worst constantly encouraging him to take actions that would negatively impact his brother to make him stand out as the most-worthy of the three to takeover company. Andre got Hakeem's friends to rob Jamal while Jamal was recording at "Ghetto Ass Studios".
Andre has come a long way since the show's initial season. In order to prepare for his baptism he comes clean about arranging the stick up. The confession doesn't sit well with Hakeem at first but Jamal immediately forgives Andre and then Hakeem follows suit. With Andre potentially losing a child this season he is certain to need Jamal's support. While the two don't interact much they have each back as seen when they came together to help Hakeem overcome being kidnapped.
Hakeem Lyon (brother)
Hakeem is Jamal's younger brother. The two go through ups and downs throughout both seasons of Empire. In Empire's first season Hakeem complains that Cookie loves Jamal more yet Cookie explains that she simply knows Jamal better. Hakeem and Jamal have a serious rivalry yet they always find their way back to each other. After Hakeem's friends rob Jamal at "Ghetto Ass Studios" Jamal jumps to the conclusion that Hakeem set him up so Jamal punches him in the stomach.
Hakeem was very upset after Lucious chooses Jamal as his successor. In Empire's "Poor Yorick" episode Hakeem and Jamal fight at the end of Jamal's video shoot because Hakeem is jealous about Jamal's success. Empire "Et Tu, Brute" episode may have worsened Jamal and Hakeem's relationship: Unlike Jamal, Hakeem doesn't receive any American Sound Award's (ASA) nominations. Now that Hakeem is the head of Empire Entertainment it will be interesting to see what happens to Jamal's career.
Olivia Lyon (ex-wife)
Olivia Lyon is Jamal's ex-wife who appears in the show's first season. Olivia is a hair stylist who Lucious forced Jamal to marry when he was 18 years old. Olivia shows up at Empire with her and Jamal's daughter, Lola and disappears. We later find out that Olivia actually left Lola at Empire's office to save her from her abusive boyfriend. In Empire's "Sins of the Father" episode Olivia's boyfriend, Reg, forces Olivia take him to Lola. Olivia and Reg meet Vernon who brings them to Lucious' mansion. Jamal recognizes the tension between Reg and Olivia and Olivia admits that Reg has been hurting Lola. Jamal sees Reg's "scary bird" tattoo that has been causing Lola's nightmares so he attacks Reg. Before Jamal can make his way across the room Reg has his gun out leading Lucious to intervene. Lucious confesses that he is actually Lola's father but before Reg can react, Malcolm, head of security for Empire Entertainment, shoots Reg in the head.
Lola Lyon
Jamal thought Lola was his daughter before Lucious revealed the truth. When Lola meets Jamal, Olivia explains that she knows all of his songs and Lola sings a little of Jamal's newest song. Malcolm and Becky find Lola alone on the elevator after Olivia leaves her at Empire's offices and they inform Lucious and Cookie. Lucious tells them to bring him Lola and Becky entertains her.
Lucious is happy to move Lola into his mansion and it all makes sense after we find out that Lola is actually his daughter. In one of my absolute favorite scenes Jamal and Hakeem sing Lola a bedtime song. The little Lyon also inspired Jamal's song "Lola". Lola brought Lucious and Jamal together in an awkward way: To save Jamal's life Lucious explains that he is Lola's father and he deserves to die.
Ryan Morgan (ex-boyfriend)
Ryan Morgan is a cutting edge filmmaker Lucious hires to create his documentary and film Empire's White Party. After Jamal records an interview, Ryan asks Jamal out for a drink. Jamal advises Ryan to hide his sexuality around Lucious but Ryan refuses explaining that Lucious can kiss his ass if he doesn't accept his sexual orientation. At dinner Ryan and Jamal discuss how difficult it is growing up gay with an African American father. Ryan advises Jamal to separate himself from his father to see what the world is like minus Lucious.
After Jamal records a song for Lola he has a conversation with Ryan about his plans for the future. Jamal explains to Ryan that he is thinking about moving Lola out of Lucious' house. "I'm thinking about taking her off his hands" Jamal explains. Although Jamal is not asking for Ryan's permission the suggestion does not sit well with the filmmaker. Ryan explains that he is not interested in being a co-parent. They break up as revealed in the season 2 premiere, with Jamal stating that Ryan is a ho.
Skye Summers (brief fling)
Skye Summers is a famous singer who teams up with Jamal thanks to Lucious. A press conference is held to announce Jamal's new album Black and White and Lucious explains that Jamal will collaborate with Skye on the first track. Skye wants to try a new lane and Jamal encourages her to do so. The pair create the song "Powerful" and they get very close throughout the process. The track is a departure from the girl power pop Skye usually creates so Skye is scared that fans may not understand the transition.
The two share a kiss and hook up as revealed in "Et Tu, Brute?". Lucious is excited about Jamal and Skye's connection stating, "she fixed you" after realizing Jamal had sex with her. Jamal tells Lucious that he is still gay, yet Lucious doesn't believe him. At the ASA nominations Charlamagne calls out Skye about associating herself with black or white at any time and uses Jamal as an example. Skye gets angry at Jamal for failing to defend her but eventually the two settle things.

I found two of these shirts in a box of goodies that Judy Done-ated to the project. The original version with sleeves, can be seen on Day 141/365. But today I feature the second shirt which I cut the sleeves off to create a sleeveless bolero with matching cuffs! I'm always nervous before cutting in to a Done item, it feels somewhat sacrilegious! What do you reckon of my handiwork? Personally, I like the result and I'll reckon I will be rockin' the office 1980s style today, for sure :-)
And check out this *rockin* outfit created by Queen Done-nut Lyndel. She's *perfectly* styling up her eBay win Ken Done scarf (Day 30/365) and matched it oh-so-well with her snakeskin top. And not happy with just one auction item (all money raised going directly to The Social Studio), she's sent in a second photo too (worn Day 143/365). That's $20 so far being donated by A. Fan. Woo hoo!

From Russia comes the sad news that Galina Prozumenschikova has passed away at the age of 66. In
Galina Prozumenshikova, was not the only European gold medal winner at the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo but 8 years later at Munich, with a three year old son, she was still a medalist. At Mexico City, in between her medals at Tokyo and Munich, an appendectomy a month before the meet and the altitude took its toll as Galina collapsed after the 200 (3rd) and lost the 100 by .001 to Bjedov of Yugoslavia (2nd) and Sharon Wickman of the USA (1st).
After the end of her prominent sporting career, she graduated from Moscow'University and taught at the Swim school of Soviet Army for children for many years.
Prozumenschikova was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in 1977 and
in 2013, she was recognized as one of the "100 Greatest Swimmers in History" in a book by swim journalist John Lohn.

NOT everyone agreed when David Warner first touted the idea of a city-based school that would run from 7am to 7pm, 52 weeks of the year, to cater for working parents.
"There had been a lot of people — particularly some of my colleagues — who were concerned that this was too radical for schools," said the Eltham College principal/CEO.
"But we wanted to offer 21st century schooling, in the heart of the city. The whole notion of the way in which we do things has to change if Australia, and our young people, are to make a difference in the world."
While the concept may not have been embraced by all, the Melbourne City School will open this year after securing a lease for a site on the corner of King and Little Collins streets.
Parents willing to pay an annual $16,750 will be able to drop their children at the school any time from 7am — and leave them there for up to 12 hours.
Before and after-school care will be provided outside of traditional class hours. The curriculum will be based heavily on inquiry and problem solving, and students will be able to use their city location to incorporate sites such as State Parliament and the MCG into their studies.
Located in an 1890s building that was once a storage facility for the Ferguson's Winery company, the school is an initiative of Eltham College, in Melbourne's north-east, which has had a year 9 city campus for more than a decade.
The first intake will be year 9 students, who will relocate from the existing city campus.
From next year, the school is expected to take about 80 enrolments for prep to year 8, and eventually create a senior school for years 9-12, also in the CBD.
But in a world where many struggle with work-life balance, could a school such as this encourage some parents to spend even longer at work — and less time with their children?
"I don't anticipate there will be many parents who will leave their children here from 7am to 7pm, but there will be some," Dr Warner said.
"But why should we make moral judgements about that? We've got to support how people are living without making moral judgements."

Matt started rowing just after the London Olympics of 2012 at the age of 15, inspired by various rowers, he chose Totnes Rowing Club as he went to school in Totnes and was interested in taking up a more competitive sport. Matt adapted to the sport very quickly which took him onto a very successful first couple of seasons in the West of England. Following on from this Matt was racing outside the West of England winning at various events such as Monmouth, Gloucester, Ross and Reading.
Matts call to coaching came after the summer of 2015, completing his Level 2 course and qualifying at the beginning of August 2016. Matt currently coaches J13, J14 and J15 boys, 3 days a week.

A number of the German refugee artists who became involved in Ben Uri from 1933-45 were shown in the 1937 'Entartete Kunst' ('Degenerate Art') exhibition in Munich and then touring in Austria, in which the Nazis denounced what they considered the debased and unnatural nature of modern art, including work by Jewish artists. It was conceived to be unfavourably compared to the art shown in the annual Grosse Deutsche Kunstausstellung in 1938.
16 artists now in the Ben Uri Collection were labelled 'degenerate'; these include Hans Feibusch, Ludwig Meidner, Fred Feigl, Leo Kahn, Joseph Oppenheimer, Camille Pissarro and Arno Stern.

Volcanic Records in the Siple and Taylor Dome Ice Cores
(Collaborative Research UMaine and New Mexico Tech)
Gregory A. Zielinski and Nelia W. Dunbar
The volcanic records of the Siple Dome A (SDMA) and B (SDMB) ice cores together with the Taylor Dome ice core are being developed through a two-pronged approach. By using the continuous glaciochemical record being developed by individuals at UMaine (Mayewski et al.), primarily the SO4 and Cl time series, and the continuous tephrochronological record of SDMA, we have developed a new record of Antarctica volcanism. The composition of tephra found in many sections of core with high SO4 spikes matches the composition of material ejected from volcanoes in Victoria Land and the islands off its coast, such as Mt. Melbourne, The Pleaides and Buckle Island. We have found that there was a very active period of Antarctica volcanism in the late 1700s and early 1800s that was not known previously. We have found that tephra in SDMB matches a visible layer in the Taylor Dome core thus providing a distinct time-line for ice cores in West Antarctica and the Ross Sea region. These results are included in papers submitted to the Journal of Glaciology and Geology, and they were presented at the 2001 Fall AGU meeting and are part of the paper being presented at the Chapman Conference in the summer of 2002. Our work is now progressing through the Holocene and glacial sections of the record. We have analyzed several tephra layers from deeper in the core and have found glass that appears to match the composition of tephra found at Mt. Moulton in West Antarctica. For instance, the initial evaluation of the visible teprha layer found at 950.60 m in SDMA shows that it is geochemically similar to an ash layer found at Mt. Moulton stratigraphically close to a layer radiometrically dated to 119k. The initial results from the 1 mm thick visible layer at the 549.522-549.547 m interval in SDMA also appears to be chemically similar to tephra layers found at Mt. Moulton, but no direct correlation to a dated layer has yet been made. We also have found two layers of rhyolitic glass, and one derived from an eruption from a geochemically zoned magma chamber. These three layers are likely to be derived from non-local sources. These results have just been recently obtained , thus we are pursuing them in greater detail at this time, including pursuing trace element analyses of the shards in order to strenghten correlations. The glaciochemical volcanic record is now being developed for the glacial and older part of the record with some very large signals found during the mid-Holocene.

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - The release date for a controversial new book about the Hannah Anderson kidnapping case has been moved up to Thursday. In that book, the author suggests the Lakeside teen may have had some part in the deaths of her mother and brother.
The book is called "The River of No Return: On the Trail of Jim DiMaggio and Hannah Anderson," named after the River of No Return Wilderness in Idaho, where 16-year-old Hannah was rescued.
"I'm suspicious of her behavior. I'm suspicious of her need to be in the spotlight," author Chelsea Hoffman said.
In her 290-page book, Hoffman enlists the help of criminal investigative psychologist Dr. Maurice Godwin, who estimates the time of death for 44-year-old Christina Anderson.
In an excerpt from the book, Hoffman writes:
"According to Dr. Godwin, the level of decomposition of Christina's body, as described within the autopsy report, revealed that Christina was murdered before noon on August 3, 2013."
"What I found is that the timeline of when the death occurred, between 12 and 24 hours from the time they were found," Godwin said.
Dr. Godwin says the level of Christina's decomposition confirms his findings.
"(Christina's body) was bloated and the heat has a lot to do with this," he said.
In another book excerpt, Hoffman questions whether or not Hannah was telling the truth about getting a ride to cheer camp from her mom that Saturday.
"I was wondering if Christina Anderson was dead before noon, then how could Hannah gone to cheer?" she said.
Still, Anderson's autopsy states she and her son Ethan were last seen alive on the afternoon of August 3, 2013.
In page 179, Hoffman discusses the brutality of Christina's murder, and offers some insight.
"Christina was bludgeoned to death. So why was her throat slashed through the tape that was used to keep her from screaming?"
Dr. Godwin believes it was most likely done afterwards, a sign of revenge and anger towards the victim.
"I think I put in there she may have found out something between them, confronted him and set him off," Godwin said.
Jan Caldwell from the sheriff's department tells CBS News 8 that the case is closed and that Hannah was a victim in every sense of the word, adding there has been a lot of things that have been said that are incorrect.
NBC is said to be in negotiations with Brett and Hannah Anderson to create longform non-fiction programming about the case.

It may seem like I've abandoned the blog, but that's not the case at all. I did take 2 weeks off drinking beer, which has been a formidable challenge with all the great beers continuing to come out. I have continued to buy, of course, so now I have more inventory than ever. The reason for taking the time off was to see if it was bothering my stomach. I think I've found the culprit to be elsewhere in my diet thankfully, as giving up beer was not really an option anyway!
Vancouver Craft Beer Week is happening now and is bigger and better than ever. One of the interesting things going on is a number of limited releases from some local brewers called 'Band Beers'. These are local ales named after local musicians, which really connected for me – as I love local bands and local beer both. From R&B Brewing we have the fantastically named "You Say Barley! We Say Rye!" named after the local band previously named You Say Party! We Say Die! who have shortened their name to simply You Say Party out of respect for the drummer passing away from a brain hemorrhage. Townsite Brewing has brewed up an ale named after one of the friendliest bands around, Said the Whale. Old Yale has put forth a beer called D.O.Ale obviously tipping its hat to hardcore punk originals D.O.A. who recently played their last show in hometown Vancouver. And finally, and perhaps my favourite, Pink Mountaintops are represented by Cannery Brewing with Pink Mountainhops.
I hope the beers are as good as the musicians – I have a feeling they will be. Stay tuned, I'll crack one open as soon as this cold I have dies down!

Jay-Z Sees the Potential in Rita Ora
Jay-Z is happy with the progression of his new Roc Nation signee Rita Ora. The pop newbie has scored her second No. 1 U.K. single 'R.I.P.' (Featuring Tinie Tempah) and is currently opening for Coldplay on their European tour. Not bad for the 21-year-old London native.
Three years ago, when Rita was 18 years old, she had to auditioned for her boss Jay-Z to join his label Roc Nation. Obviously, she nailed the audition, but what did Hov see in the young songbird back then?
"You can see the potential," Jay-Z explains in the latest video of Rita Ora's VEVO LIFT series. "When she enters a room it changes — and that presence, you can't duplicate that, especially at a young age. It was just infectious to me, like, 'Man, she loves this.' She's driven in that way."
Jay also reflected on the first time he saw Ora perform. "The first time I truly saw her on stage was at the Cartier event in New York City," he recalls. "To have that sort of stage presence and that sort of energy — the music went off and she still was like — she still wanted to go. She jumped off the stage at one point and was dancing with the crowd. It was a great moment."
"She has that bit of punk rock feeling to her which I love," he added.
Speaking of love, Ora recently garnered some love from her presumed rival — Rihanna. The 'How Do We Party' singer tweeted a photo of her getting a smooch on the cheek by Ri-Ri during Jay-Z and Kanye West's 'Watch the Throne' tour this past weekend.
Yep, it's official. Everybody loves Rita Ora.

A nimble-fingered great, great-grandmother clearly has life all sewn up after reaching her 100th birthday.
When Doris Taylor was born in December 1917, the First World War was still raging and George V was Britain's reigning king.
Fast forward a century and sprightly Doris from Airedale celebrated her special day with her family and her telegram from Queen Elizabeth.
She went to school in Glass Houghton before becoming a sewing machinist. She switched her career in her 50s to become a nurse, working at Stanley Royd Hospital.
Married to Norman, they had four sons but only one still survives. Norman also passed away in 1977 and so Doris returned from Lupset to live in Airedale where she lives today.
She has four grandchildren, six great grandchildren and three great, great grandchildren. One of her great grandchildren was war hero Bombardier Craig Hopson who died serving in Afghanistan in 2009.
Her granddaughter, Joanna Tingay, said: "Doris continues with a great love of family life, has nimble fingers to do her tapestry and loves nothing more than a cup of tea with her neighbours.
"She's a shining example of making most of life, whatever comes along."

Tiny 3D Camper Tutorial
When I first saw Deena Rutter's cutting files for the Scenic Route line, I knew that I wanted to turn this little camper into a 3D project.
So I've been planning this little project for a few months now. And although I love my silhouette machine dearly, it has been a while since I last used it. So when I sat down to create this little cutie last week, I could not find the power cord for my Silhouette. So after a bit of tears and screaming, I pulled it together and decided to create a tutorial without a cutting machine - GASP! I know, just a bit revolutionary in today's world right? So how to do this without a cutting machine??? Well, it's not as difficult as you might think. You do need a good pair of scissors though...
- I used Deena's Scenic Route Cutting Files Vol. 1, and the Every Little Bit Daydream Paper Pack
- Card Stock - Black, Grey, and Vanilla
- White printer paper
- Craft Scissors,
- Paper Cutter
- Ruler
- Pencil
1. So the first thing I did was to take the jpeg files of this cute little camping trailer, and put them in photoshop to create a photo like below, and then I printed it out on white paper.

Colour Q Challenge #246
You may know that purple and green is my favourite colour pairing in the world. They were even my wedding colours - almost 10 years ago. When I saw this colour combo that Arielle had put together, I was immediately excited. I just happened to have this adorable photo of my daughter from a few weeks ago, and so once I found this freebie template from Mye De Leon this week, I sat down and whipped up this page in no time.
Don't forget to hop on over to the Colour Q and check out the fabulousless from the Design Team.
To make this page, I used bits and bobs from the following kits...
And this perfect freebie template from Mye De Leon.
Thanks again for stopping by!

Contracts: Parties
Parties & Legal Capacity Only people recognise by law as being able to enter into a contract can be bound by a contractual agreement. It is therefore very important to understand who may be party to a contract, and who the law considers as having legal capacity - or potentially limited legal capacity. Minors When a contract is entered into by a minor, whether that contract is enforceable depends on a range of things. The court will look to the age and intellectual ability of the minor in

How can we ensure that these powers don't challenge the power of the State? How do we

The Law Guide | 2017-18
Hello, and welcome to another week! I am very excited to be working with GradAustralia and the Law Society of New South Wales to introduce you to "The Law Guide" 2017/2018. The Law Guide, in the simplest of terms, is a comprehensive guide to careers you can pursue with a law degree, and is a resource all law students should get their hands on! The guide begins by focussing on practice areas within law, compiling research for you on every area (from commercial, to human rights, to criminal, to
Winter Skincare | 2017
Ah, winter! The beautifully crisp and highly underrated season of the year that I was delighted to arrive home to a few short weeks ago following my little adventure into South-East Asia (i.e. heat, humidity and more heat). While I have thoroughly enjoyed rugging up, snuggling in bed, donning soft fluffy socks and expanding my ever-growing coat collection, however, my skin has had a very hard time adjusting to the cold, dry Canberra weather that the rest of me loves so dearly. To paraphrase
The Workplaces (Protection from Protesters) Act 2014 (Tas), despite it's supposed intention to protect the economic rights of Tasmania, impinges on the implied freedom of political communication to the degree that it should be found unconstitutional; and, therefore, invalid to the extent of the inconsistency.
Selamat Jalan
Trip Day #55 - #56 Somewhere Above The Indian Ocean, I Think... I can hardly believe that my trip is done! It felt like I was preparing for it for years (I was only preparing for a couple of months) and then I blinked and I missed it (but it was two months of my life, so not really). As I sit here in this aircraft, after having had a good (albeit short) sleep (I'm now trying not to laugh at the guy asleep next to me with his mouth wide open snoring rhythmically), I wanted to take the
I have a theory that you can always tell who the Canberrans are wherever you go because the way they look at city skylines is not unlike the way Ariel looks at a fork (sorry, dinglehopper). And if you don't understand that reference, you should probably turn back the clock and re-do your childhood. No offence.
Criminal Law
When it comes to studying criminal law there is something important that must first be acknowledged; you cannot have a society without crime.
Hot & Cold
Trip Day #42 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia This past week in Malaysia has been the hottest and most humid one I've experienced. The strange thing, however, is that when it gets hotter over here, people get colds. I suspect this is because of the vast difference in temperature between the air-conditioned rooms/trains/cars/shops and outside. Regardless of the reason, however, it's as though all of Malaysia has the sniffles, and (with the weak immune system I have) I caught it early in the week. After a

Trip Day #41 Kuala Selangor, Malaysia Welcome to what was by far the most random, different and yet enjoyable day I have spent in Malaysia this past month. The trip to Kuala Selangor, byway of providing a little context for you, was one arranged by our uni back in Australia, and optional for UC students currently on our program. Though a google of Kuala Selangor didn't turn up a single good photo, I decided that I had nothing to lose, so I would just go. Besides, uni put effort into arranging
Almost There
Trip Day #36-40 Penaling Jaya, Malaysia Almost There… Almost There… For those who know the reasonably recent addition to the Disney franchise, The Princess and the Frog, I have no doubt that the song will be in your head now, too. Sorry! The truth is, though, I am almost there! I'm now 2/3 of the way through my internship at KASS International, and in less than 2 weeks I will be back in the crisp cold of Canberra's winter, undoubtedly loving my bed which does not give me constant back aches
Half Way
This weekend marks the half way point of my international internship in Kuala Lumpur, and the exact middle of my law/political communications double degree. 60 credit points down, 60 credit points to go. I know that whatever the next 2.5 years (and beyond) hold for me, God's hand of goodness and faithfulness will be there, and He will remain with me, working in and through me, to the praise of His glorious grace! xx

Trip Day #34 Melaka, Malaysia I'm continuing my post about Melaka here because apparently there is a limit to the number of high resolution photos I'm allowed to include in one post (that's a first!!!!). So, as I was saying, we got to walk around the streets of Melaka and admire all the local street art and cute little cafes and what not... Such a beautifully colourful and unique place! After our little wander about town, we got back in our bus and drove to a little historic part of town where

Trip Day #34 Melaka, Malaysia Forewarning: This post is one of those ones where the pictures out number the words...

I remarkably managed to get ready in just 10 minutes to make it to the Uber with the others staying in my apartment block so that we could head into the centre of KL to board a bus that would take us to Melaka (Melacca? Malacca?) for a day tour. Sidenote: As these photos

Week 3 at KASS went off without a hitch (kind of). Monday Monday morning we caught the train and walked 10 minutes from the station to work – big mistake – and resolved that taking a car to work in the morning was the better thing to do. I then busied myself with submission writing, research and the drafting of my final research

The Whole Big Wide World
Trip Day #22 - #27 Bangsar, Malaysia My second week of full-time work at KASS International was not a full week at all – in fact, thanks to the Eid "breaking the fast" celebrations, we had Monday and Tuesday off work. KL was eerily quiet over that time – which meant that car rides were shorter, although they were significantly more pricey because of the high demand. Wednesday morning, however, it was back to work. Work on Wednesday was mostly completing and editing work from the end of the

Goalkeeper Tom Heaton insists the Clarets are thriving on their underdog tag.
Sean Dyche's side used it to their advantage last term when defying the odds to gain promotion from the Championship. And they'll be hoping it serves them with similar success this season in their quest for Premier League survival.
"That's something we've talked about," he said. "It's something we try and use. You can be successful I think if you use the underdog tag.
"It's difficult for teams, they don't quite know what to expect, we're new into the league so we like to think we're going to make it difficult for everyone. It's always nice to prove the doubters wrong."
The 28-year-old former Cardiff City and Bristol City stopper accepted that it was understandable for outsiders to doubt the Clarets after going 11 games without a win in all competitions, but insists the pessimism never swept through to the dressing room.
"The Hull game was defining, getting that first win," said Heaton. "Everyone was writing us off a little bit and saying it had been a terrible run, which you're always going to get if you don't win. We never felt that was the case.
"Now we've got it everyone's belief floods in and back-to-back wins in the Premier League for promoted sides is top drawer really.
"On the back of the win last week the table didn't look that bad considering we'd had a 'bad run', so to get back-to-back wins and six points is massive and hopefully we can go and kick on."
Heaton added: "You can't afford to be cut adrift. That's why after getting that first win it didn't look too bad to us, we were still right in there, there are two points separating five or six teams, we just need to keep our heads down, keep working hard and we've got the belief that we can go on and get some good results.
"We've got internal expectation, externally there probably isn't an awful lot. We really have got a lot of belief in the squad and hopefully we can use that to our benefit."
