Jerusalem is not a happy place.
Too many people lay claim to the real estate. The Old City, the Jerusalem to
which I refer, is very small, a mere square mile in size. It is enclosed by ancient walls,
some pre-dating Roman times. In one you can clearly see the gate, now bricked up,
through which Jesus passed on his final fatal visit.
The Old City is filled with sites so sacred that millions would die for them. The
most prominent is the Dome of the Rock whose name describes it perfectly. From the
surrounding hills the eye is irresistably drawn to the giant gold beehive sitting atop the
highest part of the Old City. Twice there were temples on the site that were
even more glorious but the Dome is there now and the temples are not.
3000 years ago King David made Jerusalem (population around 13,000) the
capital of Israel. A millennium later the Roman Empire gobbled it up but found it stuck in
its craw. When that Empire fell, the Byzantine Empire filled the vacuum, followed by the
Arabs and Islam. Their hold on the Old City was periodically wrenched away by
European Christians, but it was primarily theirs until 1948.
In 1948 the United Nations declared Israel a state and divided Jerusalem in two.
Half, including the Dome of the Rock, where the prophet Mohammed is believed by
Muslims to have ascended to heaven, belonged to Jordanian Palestinians. The other
half, not including the Temple Mount or the West or Wailing Wall, was designated Israeli.
Then, in 1969, the Arab States of Syria and Egypt attacked. In two days the Israelis
had turned the holy war into a humiliating rout. On the third and last day King Hussein of
Jordon committed his troops to the Arab cause and in 24 hours lost the West Bank and
his part of Jerusalem.
So here's the approximate scorecard: "Pagan," including Roman Jerusalem -
543 years. Jewish and Israeli Jerusalem - 460 years. Christian Jerusalem - 427 years.
Arab Jerusalem - 1193 years. And they're all still there.
One day I was there too. It was late afternoon and I had managed to escape the
group that had obediantly followed a tour guide from obligatory sight to obligatory sight.
I had enjoyed being shown the Way of the Cross, the ruins of David's kingdom and the
Church of the Holy Sepulchre, but I knew that it was possible to walk on top of the
ramparts that enclosed the Old City and I wanted to do it alone. At the West Wall the
Israelis had torn down the Arab houses that crowded close, leaving a broad open area
that was filled with tourists and worshippers. One of these had cursed me when I
declined to contribute to the cause for which he was soliciting funds.
As the group ranged along the ancient stones that towered above our heads, I
walked back to the houses left standing after the war and turned into a narrow
street. At the end was a gate I had noticed earlier. It was attached to a tall fence of closely
spaced iron bars and led to stairs that climbed to the top of the wall. Now, late in the
afternoon, it was closed and locked. So I looked for a place to climb over.
The fence ran near the backs of houses that paralleled the ramparts. I walked
along it, away from the street of shops, and was soon alone, or so I thought. Suddenly a
young man appeared on the other side of the fence. Seeing what I was up to, he
beckoned me forward, leading me to a place where the bars had been pried apart
just wide enough for me and the camera that was swinging from my neck to
squeeze through.
The boy, whose age could actually have been anywhere from 16 to 25, hadn't
spoken to me but he smiled and waved for me to follow him. He seemed friendly and my
tendency is to assume the odds are in my favor so when he climbed a stairway of mellow
old stone I was close behind. The steps ended at a platform within a low wall from which
there were views on the outside to the hills and inside to the Old City. Lounging with their
backs against the wall were six or eight more young men eyeing me with interest. I knew
I was in trouble.
So I set out to become their friend. Starting with my host, I shook their hands,
introduced myself, told them I was from New York City and asked them where they lived.
Soon we were calling each other by our first names. They were duly impressed with my
home town, I was genuinely interested in theirs. From a threatening gang of Arab
youths they had become a group of nice kids, beaming and enthusiastic. Even, if I
stretched it a bit, wholesome.
After 10 or 15 minutes, when it seemed the time was right, I said, okay, I've got to .
go. I did another round of handshaking, made my goodbyes, and started down the stairs.
I hadn't gotten far when I heard a voice calling my name, "Bob, Bob, Bob!" Assuming it
was a joke I took a couple more steps and answered, "What, what, what?" Then I turned
and found myself staring into the barrel of a very large gun.
If anyone had ever asked me what to do in a situation like this I would have
answered without hesitation, "Give them whatever they want." Instead I was filled with
disgust. There directly in front of me was the boy whose hand I had shaken, who had
told me where he lived with his mother and father, whose greatest wish was to see New
York, and he was pointing a gun at my chest. Was that any way to treat a friend?
So with a deep feeling of disappointment I looked him in the eyes, said, "Yeah,
right," turned and walked away. When I got to the place where the bars had been bent
open, I squeezed through and glanced back at the stairs. Noone was there.
But something else happened as I walked away, something very strange. I
could feel, really feel, a sensation in my back where I imagined the bullet would hit me if
he pulled the trigger. And I thought, "My God, they're right. You really can feel the place
where you think you're going to be shot."
A few months after I came home the itch began. It's located midway between my
shoulder blades and it starts for no reason at all. I've asked others to look for something
on my skin but they can't see anything. Neither could I when I stood with my back to the
bathroom mirror and tried to get the angle of a hand mirror just right. Nor could the
doctor when in desparation I scheduled an examination. It was nothing, he said.
There was no bump, no discoloration, no redness. There was no reason for the
feeling at all, he told me.
"Yeah," I said. "Right."

Latin American Philosophy in the Twentieth Century: Man, Values, and the Search for Philosophical Identity
Latin American Philosophy in the Twentieth Century: Man, Values, and the Search for Philosophical Identity
Major trends in contemporary Latin American philosophy emerged from the reaction against positivism.
Excepting scholasticism, positivism is the most widespread and deeply rooted philosophical movement in Latin America. The depth of its impact was due to historical factors: it arrived at the proper time and it addressed the needs of that age. This positive philosophy, developed by the Frenchman Auguste Comte (1793-1857), attempted to develop a rigorous, systematic understanding of man both as an individual and as a social being. Comte sought to base his understanding on experience and reason and to let it serve as a means for solving social problems. To achieve this objective, he sought to impose upon the study of human affairs the methods, criteria of truth, and conceptual precision that had borne such excellent results in the natural sciences. He coined the term "sociology" to designate the new science of social phenomena and gave special attention to its development. He maintained that the sciences were characterized by an undeniable unity and could be arranged in hierarchical order, according to the degree of matheU+00A matization they would allow, with physics as the fundamental science and sociology the less scientific. Sociology, the newest and most complex of the sciences, required much empirical investigation before its discoveries could be reduced to mathematically formulated laws.
Comte was not moved by a mere desire to know. Knowledge was a servant of action and should lead to the solution of concrete problems. This practical aspect, perhaps, was one of the most captivating for Latin AmeriU+00A cans, who desired to overcome anarchy, eradicate misery and disease, and place their own countries on the path of progress.
This, however, was not the only reason for the wide acceptance that positivism experienced. There were also reasons of a strictly cultural and theoretical nature. Latin America had been nurtured in scholasticism and consequently, the sciences of man were in a deplorable state. Conceptual and terminological vagueness, irresponsible speculation, as well as unfounded and archaic dogmatism were predominant characteristics. Positivism, howU+00A ever, brought principles based on experience and logical rigor, and offered . . .

Probably the most important thing about a museum, especially one that depicts such a momentous time in human history, is making sure that successive generations don't forget. It's already 72 years since the end of World War II and many of the people who had first hand knowledge have passed away.
I found this graphic particularly dramatic. The U.S. was not a military super power at the beginning of the war. In fact, it was third-rate and not a serious contender as the Axis powers geared up. The National WWII Museum goes into the history and the negative sentiment in America towards the war in Europe. Most did not initially want to get involved.
I thought it was particularly powerful to have silhouettes of children against the graphic. They may not understand its meaning just yet, but hopefully, as they grow older, they'll visit this place again.

We love a good film here at ScratchAcross HQ.
But only good films.
Sure, shoot-em-up action classics such as Predator will always hold a spot in our hearts, but increasingly, it seems that fewer and fewer films meet the criteria of this elusive category.
Take a handful of the blockbusters released in the past month: Sex in the City 2, Robin Hood, The Karate Kid, The Back-Up Plan….gross.
Anyway, with this in mind, I should like to bring to your attention three amazing films, all of which have surely escaped the public's attention.
Only one is new, two are subtitled and the third is by a famously prickly German director, which probably explains why they never screened at your local Cinemax.
But do yourself a favour and check 'em out.
Let The Right One In
Vampires schmampires, right?
Yeh, but what about Swedish-speaking vampire kids, living in 1982? Super cool.
Who knows what spawned the recent rash of blood-sucking books and features, but rest-assured, this is the best of a tired genre — a film with heart, combining suspense, a little horror and even comedy in a way 'Twilight' could only dream of.
Oskar is a loner and bullied at school, but life turns a corner after he befriends an odd little girl on the jungle gym outside his snowy apartment block.
Eli is a grubby little 12-year-old, but she's been 12 "…for a very long time" and together the two begin to develop a warmth amidst the bleak Swedish winter.
The subtle romance that blooms give Oskar the strength to fight back against his tormentors and while the film might be filed under 'horror, it's hardly horrifying – more like a dark, elegant fairy tale.
Viewers are left to fill in the gaps about Eli's real identity and her elderly helper who gathers fresh victims for his tiny friend – even the bloodiest scenes are framed in wide shots and the impact is much reduced.
Stark, understated and unexpectedly moving, Let The Right One In is probably the best film you've never seen.
Encounters at the End of the World
Director Werner Herzog is certainly prolific, but I happen to think he's frickin' awesome to boot – offbeat subjects tackled with candour, insight and a lack of pretension.
Grizzly Man saw him examine delusional bear-enthusiast Timothy Treadwell's tragic end and he convinced Christian Bale to shed one-third of his body weight for Rescue Dawn.
Here, he travels to Antarctica , delivering some unintentionally hilarious one-liners along the way: "The National Science Foundation had invited me to Antarctica even though I left them in no doubt I would not come up with anther film about penguins."
Herzog ventures out from McMurdo research base and attempts to discover what might lead a person to work on the southernmost continent.
He soon discovers an eclectic collection of professional daydreamers, some with their own theories.
"If you take everybody who's not tied down, they all sort of fall to the bottom of the planet. We're all at loose ends and here we are together," says one man, a trained linguist who now finds himself on a continent with no language of its own.
Despite striking underwater photography beneath the ice, Herzog's film is no nature doco, but more an observational study of people and place.
There are also some otherworldly recordings of seals beneath the ice that wouldn't be out of place in a nightclub (I'm serious) and one of the most haunting images is of a confused penguin wandering away from his pals toward certain doom in the mountains.
A little strange, for sure, but all the more captivating for the weirdness.
Man on a Wire
In 1974, a Frenchman snuck into the barely completed World Trade Centre towers in NYC and set up a tightrope between them, before spending an hour balanced precariously over the city.
This is his story, the story of a man obsessed with what he saw as the ultimate challenge, the seven years he spent planning it and his subsequent fairly hilarious arrest by New York cops.
Much of the doco is taken up with Philippe Petit's exhaustive planning for the event but his enthusiasm is infectious and as he nears the big day, there's all the suspense of a heist film.
To rig the wire, Petit and his co-conspirators must evade WTC security and battle the weather before firing arrows across the gap to friends waiting on the other tower.
Archival photographs provide the evidence of Petit's amazing feat and combined with an edgy soundtrack and recent interview footage, the result is a life-affirming film – after viewing 'the artistic crime of the century', you can't but feel inspired.

text: https://www.homeanddecor.com.sg/gallery/homes-that-double-as-private-cafes-and-event-spaces-we-meet-two-homeowners-with-flexible-home-spaces/ Homes that double as private cafes and event spaces — we meet two homeowners with flexible home spaces image For some homeowners, their homes are not only a space to rest and unwind, but a workspace or event space to host strangers as well. Bella Koh (@catslavery), a food, design and wellness stylist, and her husband, Terence Yeung, transformed their 1,700sqf Tiong Bahru shophouse apartment into a twofold workshop and event space. They even christened it the Slow House. image Bella holds intimate workshops (for between five and 10 people) to educate time-strapped folks who still want to maintain a healthy diet (earlier workshops have focused on Japanese-style broths and plant-based milk formulas). image External brands can also rent the space for their own events – but with a #slowlife twist. She has worked with Chantecaille and Innisfree; Bella served pomegranate balsamic dressing on sustainable barramundi for Innisfree when the Korean skincare label was introducing an antioxidant-heavy range. image During these events, Koh also conducts workshops in conjunction with the brands. The space is (at print time) all booked for events, but Koh plans to conduct additional workshops (her last round of workshops was in January) for the public later in the year. image In the meantime, there's the option of taking private, one-on-one sessions with her, but you'll have to e-mail her (firstname.lastname@example.com) for more details. image Another homeowner who partakes in this concept is Jerome Chee, the marketing manager of independent cinema The Projector. This home, which he shares with the rest of The Projector crew, has been dubbed the "sullen cafe" — a dining concept that's like a indie alternative to the world's most exclusive restaurants. image The shabby-chic space – a terrace house along a quiet residential lane on Joo Chiat Place – is filled with vintage furniture. The cafe derives its name from Jerome's musician persona, sullen (@sullen_official), and Chee's been known to play live upon request for guests – think pensive atmospheric tunes along the lines of Sigur Ros. image Potential guests are to complete a questionnaire that checks on their allergies (food and animals – there are two dogs on the premises) and interests (preferably mutual). On the ever-changing menu: a variety of dishes ranging from moussaka and shepherd's pie to tempura dons, kebabs and an assortment of pretty desserts. image The cafe is inspired by Chee's extensive travels; ditto the exotic-sounding fare he dishes out. "My most memorable travel experiences were when I was the only person in a cafe or restaurant, having a leisurely meal. I guess the cafe is me trying to share these experiences with others – a quiet time that I feel is valuable, yet hard to attain in most busy cities," he says. image You're also free to borrow his bike, take the pooches out for a walk, or simply chat with the 27-year-old. Sounds idyllic? Little wonder that visitors have largely been made up of those from the creative crowd. This story was first published on Female magazine.

When James Clapper himself, and virtually everyone else with knowledge of the witch hunt, says there is no collusion, when does it end?
Clapper defends Comey; rebuts Trump over collusion
James Clapper former US DNI defends James Comey in an interview with NBC's Andrea Mitchell in so doing it is clear that Clapper's version of events is more than somewhat different from Trump's.
Based on this interview it could well be that Comey did not request the dinner with Trump, as Trump has suggested, but that Trump requested his presence.
Clapper went further as this second clip shows and effectively rebutted Trump's tweet that Clapper confirmed there was no collusion between Trump campaign and Russia. Yet again Trump embroidered the facts to suit his version of reality.

With the summer coming up, it's great time to indulge in a little educational reading! We asked the Nurturing Birth doula community for their recommendations – here's just a few of our must-reads
Offering nurturing and loving care to mums throughout pregnancy, birth and after will always be at the top of our list, but to do this we need to stay up-to-date and current in birthing practices, developments and views.
There's always something new to learn or teach others.
Book One – Ina May's Guide to Childbirth
The first on our list is the hugely popular Ina May Gaskin. An inspiring look at childbirth, this book tells you everything you need to have the 'best birth experience for you'. The idea behind its sentiment is to give women the opportunity to take back the fear of childbirth by regaining confidence in their own bodies.
Within its pages, readers will learn more about what really happens during labour; how to create a safe, comfortable environment for birth in any setting; tips for maximising chances of an unmedicated labour and birth; and the risks of anaesthesia and caesareans – what your doctor doesn't necessarily tell you. What most doulas seem to love most are the stories – more than half the book devoted to real-life tales of birthing with The Farm Midwives in Tennessee.
Book Two – Grantly Dick-Reid's Childbirth Without Fear
Grantly Dick-Read's philosophy is still described as being 'as fresh and relevant as it was when he originally wrote this book'. An interesting and empathic insight and analysis into the root causes of women's fears and anxiety about pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding.
Childbirth Without Fear is one of the most influential birthing books, and definitely a worthwhile read for all parents-to-be, as well as doulas childbirth educators, midwives and obstetricians.
Book Three – Heng Ou's The First Forty Days
We're seeing more and more focus on the 'fourth trimester' and this book focusses on just that. The First Forty Days revives the lost art of caring for the mother after birth. The modern mother is often pushed too prematurely into a life of routine where they are expected to easily bounce back after giving birth, and where they are often left alone to face the physical and emotional challenges of this new stage of their lives.
Our third book looks at the first 40 days after child birth when it is essential for rest and recovery for the new mother. Based on the first-hand experience of author Heng Ou's own postpartum period of "confinement", where she remained home to focus on healing and bonding with her baby.
This book looks at connection, nourishment, and guidance and includes 60 simple recipes to help heal, build strength and help lactation. This warm and encouraging guide offers advice on arranging a system of help during the postpartum period, navigating relationship challenges, and honouring the significance of pregnancy and birth. We love this nurturing outlook.
Book Four – Rebecca Schiller's Why Human Rights in Childbirth Matter
The human rights in childbirth movement is gathering pace with doulas activists, midwives, mothers, doctors and lawyers all coming together to offer right-based solutions to the problems in maternity care. This book looks at our human rights and how they apply to pregnancy and birth. What happens when dignity is absent? And how are innovators and educators using human rights principles to revolutionise care for the next generation of women. Rebecca is a Nurturing Birth doula, and started the Birthrights Charity, so we love seeing how well she is doing in print!
Book Five – Milli Hill's The Positive Birth Book
We all have different ideas relating to what sort of birth we want. The Positive Birth Book has been written to help women maximise their chances of getting it. It's a refreshing, warm and witty guide to pregnancy, birth, the early weeks and guaranteed to make you giggle.
As well as wit, it's also packed with vital information on everything from building the ultimate birth plan, to your choices and rights in the birth room; from optimal cord clamping, to seeding the microbiome; from the inside track on breastfeeding, to woman-centred caesarean.
The Positive Birth Book shows you how to have the best possible birth, regardless of where and what you choose. Read real accounts from new mums on their own experiences and the truth about what giving birth really feels like.
Book Six – Amy Brown's The Positive Breastfeeding Book: Everything you need to feed your baby with confidence
This is a must read for both new and soon-to-be-mums, as well as for doulas and other birth workers. Its straight talking, fact and science-based, with reassuring advice from fellow mums and experienced breastfeeding professionals.
Everyone is an expert on everything when you have a baby, and topics such as breastfeeding leads to probably the most opinions, so it's very easy to become overwhelmed and confused by conflicting advice. The Positive Breastfeeding Book cuts through the anecdotes, giving you clear, no-judgement, non-preachy, evidence-based information to help you signpost and support each mother and her baby.
It's honest and doesn't promise it will be easy but it will empower and encourage its readers.
Book Seven – Naomi Kemeny's Nurturing New Families
The last in our recommendations, is 'Nurturing New Families' written by Naomi Kemeny, who has a wealth of experience as a midwife, children's nurse and postnatal doula.
Supporting a family in the days and weeks after a baby is born is an important part of the birth experience and can have a massive impact on mum. A new mum needs the chance to recover her strength and to respond to her baby's needs, the care of a postnatal doula, friend or family member can be invaluable. In this guide Naomi draws on her wealth of experience to explain in detail how to 'mother the mother' – by listening to what she needs and supporting her as she adapts to her new role. This is an insightful book for those working or wanting to work as a postnatal doula.

Early Saturday morning, it dawned on me. There was less than a week remaining until Halloween, and I had yet to take the children to get pumpkins.

Friday Photo: Change
"Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back, everything is different…" C. S. Lewis
Change. So much is held in this one small word. One word that can simultaneously represent fear, excitement, anxiety, anticipation, dread, happiness, sadness, gain, and loss. They are found in each passing year, season, day, each moment. Some slip quietly by, unnoticed. Others immediately alter your world. Change is a challenge, change is an opportunity. It is an inevitability that is always just around the next corner. This week, the them of the WordPress photo challenge is Change. I thought for this challenge I would share just a few pictures from a handful of the places I've called home over the years. Home, a constant for many, is an ever-changing entity for my family. For us, change is all of those emotions, and more. Change is home.

North West AFL: Andy Mack to consider coaching Gunnedah Bulldogs in 2019
THE Gunnedah Bulldogs may have found a candidate for the role of head coach ahead of their 2019 AFL North West season.
Long-time defender Andy Mack has not ruled out leading the side next season, after suffering a knee injury in this year's preliminary final victory over the New England Nomads.
"I'd give it a go," Mack said of coaching next year.
"At this stage things are a bit up in there air as to whether or not my knee injury will require surgery.
"I'm currently doing a lot of work with the physio in what the doctor's call the 'prehab' stage, which is trying to build the strength back up in the knee so that if it does require surgery the rehab won't be as long.
"That stage will go until about mid-January, then I will have a chat with the doctor and we can work out if it requires surgery or not.
"If it needs surgery then I would miss the footy season so I would certainly consider taking on the job.
"However, if I am able to play then we might have to look at doing something else, but we will work that out down the line."
Read Also:
The search for a new coach comes after Andrew George told Fairfax Media he wouldn't continue in the job in 2019 despite leading the side to a grand final this season.
"Obviously Georgie has done a terrific job with the group," Mack said.
"I know that if I were to take on the job of coaching from the sidelines next year I would have a lot of support from a lot of experienced guys."
Mack said there was potential for the side to have more than one coach.
"I think a lot of the good methods we had under Greg Piggot in our premiership year of 2016 are still in place," he said.
"That does make it a lot easier for someone else to come in and carry on the good work.
"There is also the potential for possibly two or three guys to share the coaching responsibilities and just have me take the title of head coach as it were.
"Either way, I have spoken to the committee about it, I'm open to taking it on, but we will know more in January so stay tuned I guess."

Sports Workers Compensation Claims
About California Sports Workers Compensation Claims
Two types of claims can commonly be made in California for former professional athletes – cumulative trauma claims and specific injury claims.
Cumulative Trauma Claims are the most common claims for athletes because they involve the wear and tear on one's body over the course of one's career. Imagine a construction worker who runs a jack hammer for an entire career. He may not have one single injury that forces him to stop working but the accumulation of wear and tear on his body from using the jack hammer on a daily basis will necessitate higher medical care costs later in life for him.
Rather than having the public via Medicare or Medicaid pay for the injured construction worker's medical care; or your premiums increase because the injured construction worker must utilize his private insurance – thereby making everyone's premiums increase; the social public policy mandates that the employer – that benefitted from the labor which resulted in the wear and tear of the injured construction worker – should be responsible.
This theory applies equally to professional athletes. The wear and tear on your body from the constant hitting and pounding and multiple injuries from your sport will result in higher medical care later in life – not to mention the pain that you will experience.
Cumulative Trauma claims allow you to get compensation for every part of your body from head to toe – physical, internal, psychological, etc.
Specific injury claims commonly involve specific injuries that occur that cause a player to miss time from games or practices, i.e., a torn ACL, etc.
Whether you had one tryout in California, played one game in California, or played 10 years for a California team, you may qualify for workers compensation benefits in California depending on the circumstances.

Measure the distance between two geographic coordinates

(If "U" = Km) 418.34
(If "U" = Mi) 259.95
Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)
This is a rather complete and flexible custom function on measuring linear distances between two geographic coordinates, for it allows the user/developer to insert coordinate values in DMS (Degrees, Minutes, and Seconds) and DD (Decimal Degrees). Yet, it goes a bit further on flexibility , for it permits the calculation of angle functions either in Degrees or Radians.
The function itself is quite straightforward and easy to understand. Please refer to the text in the beginning and inside-function notes for deeper information.

|Salut, Gil Jean,
Let us say you need to measure the linear distance between two coordinates in inches. The first thing to do give this unit a "name" or an acronym (for the sake of an example, let us call it "In") then include it plus the radius of earth on the Equator (which, by my calculations, is 251107782.481124 inches) to the "R" variables.
When done, "R" shall look like this:
U = "Km"; 6378.137; // radius of the earth in kilometers
U = "m"; 6378137; // radius of the earth in meters
U = "Mi"; 3963.191; // radius of the earth in statute miles
U = "NMi"; 3437.74677; // radius of the earth in nautical miles
U = "In"; 251107782.481124 // radius of the earth in inches
The next step is to include "In" to the validation parameter below "R". This would then look like this:
//If you added a new value, place its acronym here as well
IsEmpty( U ) or ( U ≠ "Km" and U ≠ "m" and U ≠ "Mi" and U ≠ "NMi" and U ≠ "In" );
"Error - Missing (or Wrong) Unit";
That's this simple. I hope I could've been of any help.

Alyssa Milano proposed a sex strike to protest restrictive abortion laws but it kind of misses the point.
Alabama and Georgia have passed restrictive and possibly illegal abortion laws, and, no surprise, a lot of people are upset about it. Many Hollywood productions that shoot in Georgia are departing from the state in protest.
Jordan Peele and J.J. Abrams announced they will continue to shoot Lovecraft Country in Georgia, but the money they earn from the show will go straight to two charities working to overturn the law.
But actress Alyssa Milano, who shoots Insatiable in Georgia, came up with probably the most attention-grabbing (and kind of problematic) way to protest the law. She called for a sex strike.
Georgia's new law forbids abortion when a heartbeat is detected, roughly six weeks into a pregnancy. Legal abortions after a heartbeat is detected are allowed if the pregnancy jeopardizes the life of the mother, or if the fetus will not survive outside the womb. Abortion is also allowed in the case of rape or incest as long as the woman files a police report.
"Our reproductive rights are being erased. Until women have legal control over our own bodies we just cannot risk pregnancy. JOIN ME by not having sex until we get bodily autonomy back. I'm calling for a #SexStrike. Pass it on," Milano wrote on Twitter.
Milano's sex strike received some support.
But others were quick to point out the flaws in Milano's logic. The idea of a sex strike reduces sex to a bargaining tool. It reinforces the misogynistic ideas that women's bodies are there to give sexual pleasure to men, women are not supposed to enjoy sex, and refusing to have sex with a man is a punishment.
Milano said that the idea of a sex strike was to get people's attention and to raise awareness of the issue, which it did. "A #SexStrike is another way for people who have the potential to get pregnant to call attention to this systematic onslaught and assert the power to change our own destinies," Milano said.
Sure, the whole Lysistrada thing might have worked in a time when men were writing books with titles like How to Train Your Wife, and nobody batted an eye. But we've progressed a lot since Ancient Greek times, and so must our ideas of what should be considered a protest.

Or lack thereof. NY Times Reporter and Senate Staffer Caught in Sex-for-Leaks Scandal : The Other McCain
The former security director for the Senate Intelligence Committee has been arrested after lying to the FBI about illegally leaking classified information to a young reporter he dated for three years. The arrest exposed James A. Wolfe as the source of multiple leaks of sensitive national security information — including details of the investigation of former Trump campaign aide Carter Page — to New York Times reporter Ali Watkins. Wolfe, 57, had been in a sexual relationship with Watkins, a 2014 Temple University graduate who previously worked for BuzzFeed and Politico before joining the Times late last year.

What would you do if your roofer was shingling your roof and accidentally fell, fracturing their ankle? Most Wisconsin homeowners would expect their home insurance policy to cover the cost of damages but it probably won't. In fact, your contractor should have insurance to protect against work accidents. But if you hired a roofer who doesn't carry proper insurance coverage, you could be left to pay for any damages out-of-pocket!
Not only would you be out a roofer in this type of situation but you could then be found responsible for their medical bills and eventually need to hire someone else to finish their job. Luckily, this is one frightening home maintenance scenario that can be avoided. Keep reading to learn more about the importance of hiring contractors who are properly insured.
Who Needs Contractor's Insurance Coverage?
Anytime you hire someone to complete renovation work or maintenance on your property, they should have insurance. This means that everyone from your local HVAC technician to the plumber, roofing contractors, electricians, landscapers and painters all need to prove that they have the proper insurance policies in place before they start work. You wouldn't let someone who is uninsured perform a medical procedure on you, so why would you let an uninsured contractor take on your next big home renovation project?
Every contractor that you hire should at least carry basic general liability insurance. With this standard insurance policy, your contractors can rest easy knowing that they have protection against on the job injuries and any accidents that may result in property damage. This means that if one of their employees slips and falls off of the roof, you won't be left to pick up the pieces. As a homeowner, you should also keep in mind that the more specialized services a contractor offers, typically the more insurance they'll need to operate their business safely.
Some additional coverage options that your contractors may need include:
- Workers' Compensation (Required in the state of Wisconsin for most companies that have employees.)
- Commercial Auto Insurance
- Equipment and Tool Coverage
- Builder's Risk Insurance
- Installation Coverage
How to Verify Your Contractor Has Insurance
The first step in hiring a reputable contractor is never just to assume that they have insurance coverage. As you start your search for the right team to tackle the job, make sure that checking for insurance is very high on your list of priorities. Make it clear that you are serious about insurance and never take someone's word when it comes down to proving that they have the proper insurance policy in place.
Instead, you can very easily verify that each contractor you work with has coverage by requesting to see a Certificate of Insurance. But your investigative skills won't stop there. Once you've got the certificate in hand, you'll need to verify that the policy is up-to-date with the insurance provider listed on the document. To do this, simply reach out to the insurance company by phone or online and provide them with the details.
Protect Your Home and Assets with Comprehensive Insurance Protection
As a homeowner, you are ultimately responsible for making sure that each contractor you hire is reputable and has the right level of insurance protection in place before they begin working on your property. Would you like to learn more about the benefits of investing in a comprehensive home policy?

A time machine just landed on the old shipyard Copenhell and out came 4 Swedish guys, looking like something taken from the late 60´s
They really sound and look like they just stepped out of a time machine. The hippie styling and the mustaches were fancy.
But is it good enough for the metal packed Copenhell 2018? Or will it just be a misplaced kick in the balls? The authenticity is stunning, alot of bands now a day, try to imitate that sought out sound, from the mid to late 60´s sound, where Janis, Hendrix, Zeppelin and Cream were huge, without luck, but Swedish Graveyard nails it. They don´t just nail it, they do it in a truly stylish manner too. The band looked like they just dropped acid before the show and I wouldn´t be surprised at all, if they really were heavily drugged up. Even though Graveyard have only exsisted as a band, for a little over a decade, they already seems like experienced musicians.
But what is retro hippie music doing on a metal dominating festival?
Well some would definately argue that they are a buzzkill, the majority of bands on Copenhell is in the metal gengre. I would turn it around and say, they fitted in well, because it gives Copenhell a diversity ,that makes it fun and entertaining to participate.
I would have wished Graveyard had showed more teeth and been more "dangerous", but they mostly seemed harmless like a drugged up horse. Graveyard most memorable moments were actually their down tempo songs. Songs like the bluesy "Uncomfortably Numb" and the moody "Slow Motion Countdown" were both songs that stood out. In general the songs were minimalistic, slow and melodic, complex and delicate with psykadelic passages. It takes your mind onto Zeppelin, Rainbow and Deep Purple, but with a modern twist. I would definately give Graveyard a listen in the future, but i must say, this was a slow starter.
Graveyard Setlist, Copenhell 2018:
– Ain't Fit to Live Here
– Please Don't
– Walk On
– Buying Truth (Tack & Förlåt)
– Uncomfortably Numb
– Cause & Defect
– The Fox
– An Industry of Murder
– Goliath
– Slow Motion Countdown
– Bird of Paradise
– Hisingen Blues
– The Siren

|► Mitt Romney's 13.9% tax rate depressed me! How about you?
Mitt Romney's 13.9% tax rate depressed me! How about you?
I can't really express how depressed I was to discover that Mitt "The Job Creator" Romney was being mistreated by the Feds by being made to pay 13.9% on a measly income of $21.6 million in 2010.
In fact, the depression was so profound that I had to take 2 doses of Ambien and wash it down with 5 bottles of Corona before I could fall to sleep. I bet a lot of y'all experienced the same problem, right?
If Newt Gingrich is elected president, the tax rate for America's Premier Job Creators; that'd be millionaires and billionaires like Mitt, would be much more fair and equitable. It'd be Zero! One can only imagine how many more minimum wage jobs Mitt and his millionaire/billionaire friends could create with a zero tax rate, right?
Since Mitt claims to be a highly successful businessman, I can't for the life of me understand why he doesn't immediately withdraw from the campaign and throw his support behind Newt.
Let's all hope that Mitt makes the right business decision! If he doesn't he deserves to keep paying a tax rate of 13.9%, right?

A Tales of Vesperia remaster PS4 is finally coming? Here's why you should be getting really excited, especially if you didn't play it the first time.
Hands down the best Tales game in the series. This game officially made me a Tales fan. Glad to see the remaster coming west.
The last epic tales game. Why in the world did they move away from the visual style it had and went to the boring and bland style of xillia idk why. Been waiting for this one since the ps3 version release.
Excited that I finally get to play this one, this time around.
this is a great game, the only current tales of games i didn't like are tales of zestiria, the berseria game that came after was great though

For the Valentine's Day season, Starbucks Japan has released two new drinks: the Valentine Chocoholic Frappuccino and the Valentine Chocoholic Cocoa.
Valentine Chocoholic Frappuccino:
Tasted literally like vanilla ice cream with chocolate chips in it – but in drink form. And especially if you decide to mix your maple flavored whipped cream in the drink base. It is a very sweet drink, and definitely not as chocolate-y as I expected it to be. If you want a chocolate drink, you would be better off with the Dark Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino. The barista did recommend using almond milk instead of whole milk for a more pronounced flavor, but I don't think I am too interested in trying it again (one serving is also about 521 kcals!)
Valentine Chocoholic Cocoa:
Nothing super special. Tastes like any other hot chocolate, with with extra chocolate syrup stuck to the bottom of the cup.

Plenty at stake for Jurgen Klinsmann and U.S. vs. Mexico
The U.S. national soccer team's game against Mexico on Saturday at the Rose Bowl will be a huge test for coach Jurgen Klinsmann before the start of the new regional qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup in Russia 2018.
The match between the last two Gold Cup champions will decide who will represent the CONCACAF at the FIFA Confederations Cup in Russia 2017, but that is just one of many factors that make this game special.
The United States is unbeaten in the last four years against "El Tri," with three wins and three and boasts a 10-2-4 record playing at home against Mexico since 2000. The last meeting was in April at the Alamodome in San Antonio, where Klinsmann's team won 2-0, a result prompting midfielder Michael Bradley and former striker Landon Donovan to have some fun in the lead up to the game in social media to highlight the growing rivalry between the two teams.
Klinsmann, unbeaten as a player and as a coach against Mexico in 11 games representing his native Germany and the U.S., named an experienced team for this game, including four players who have surpassed 100 international games. Veteran Dynamo left back DaMarcus Beasley is among them, along with Bradley, the anchor in the attack, native Texan Clint Dempsey and goalkeeper Tim Howard. Howard is trying to get back to his spot in the starting lineup after Brad Guzan replaced him at goal at the end of the World Cup a year ago in Brazil.
One veteran not named was Donovan, who, perhaps out of frustration, said Klinsmann should be fired if the United States loses.
"This roster is obviously full of experience," Klinsmann said. "This is about belief and a high-level of aggressiveness in a one-off game to beat Mexico and to get to the Confederations Cup".
On the other hand, Mexico's interim coach Ricardo "Tuca" Ferretti suffered a blow to his plans when he announced Monday that Giovani Dos Santos was off the 23-man roster after he suffered an injury playing for the Los Angeles Galaxy in the MLS regular season.
Dos Santos, a key player for Mexico at the last two FIFA World Cups in South Africa 2010 and Brazil 2014, had not been called up for the last two friendlies against Trinidad & Tobago and Argentina, but Ferretti was ready to use him to enhance his options in attack, where he already has quality players in Javier Hernández, Carlos Vela, Raúl Jiménez and Oribe Peralta.
Ferretti can count on Rafael Márquez and Andrés Guardado, the last two captains of the team and key players at defense and midfield who had been in doubt due to injuries.
"The absence of any good player affects a good team, that's undeniable," Feretti said. "We know the category of team players and "Rafa" is no exception."
Ferretti took over on an interim basis for four games after Miguel Herrera was ousted for beating a journalist at an airport in Philadelphia after winning the Gold Cup. This will be Feretti's last game with the national team. His replacement, Juan Carlos Osorio, resigned as coach Tuesday of Sao Paulo FC in Brazil and will join Mexico for its next game.
The match will kick off Saturday, Oct. 10, at 8:30 p.m. CDT and will be broadcast live on FOX Sports 1, FOX Sports GO, Univision and the Univision Deportes Network (in Spanish).
