The latest issue of Bitch Planet, the women-in-prison series from Kelly Sue DeConnick and Valentine De Landro, concludes the first arc of the series with a pretty huge surprise. Bitch Planet #5 also sees the women's Megaton team in action against competition for the first time. Although it's overall a good issue, some of the many story threads of the series so far have prevented Bitch Planet from being as strong as it could be.
The biggest thing to occur in Bitch Planet #5 is the death of one of the team regulars. It's a pretty shocking moment (I won't reveal which character dies) that occurs at the end of the issue. It is also a direct result of the women prison team's first match, which takes place against a team of guards. I don't know if the death of a prisoner of color while in custody in Bitch Planet is coincidental or a direct response to those types of recent occurrences in our world. Whatever the case, the moment – even though it occurs through a fictional game – has a strong resonance. It's also likely to have a big impact on the characters in the upcoming issues of the series.
Looking at the series so far, there are many things to like about Bitch Planet. It's got a lot of attitude and interesting themes. Many of the characters are engaging. The art is frequently quite memorable. However, it's hard to say that the series is quite yet outstanding or can't miss. DeConnick has peppered the first five issues of Bitch Planet with many characters and story threads. I know these will probably eventually pay off, but at times, such as when new characters are introduced in Bitch Planet #5, it slows the momentum of the series.
There are so many story elements and themes going on in Bitch Planet that the series hasn't really explored most of them in any detail. I think it's okay to give an audience many different threads in a story, but at some point, it can get to be overkill. I have found it frustrating at times that we haven't spent more time with some of the central characters of this series. There are moments, but they are frequently interrupted by scenes with supporting characters.
On the positive side, Valentine De Landro has a distinctive look to his illustrations. There is a bit of looseness to his drawing, especially in faces that can make expressions a little difficult to read or even look exaggerated. Still, his art has a roughness that suits this story well. When Bitch Planet #5 shifts to the Megaton match, De Landro excels in presenting those scenes. Drawing sports is a surprisingly hard thing to do well, but he gives us clear and dramatic renderings of those moments.
Personally, the death of the major character in Bitch Planet #5 doesn't hit as hard as I think it is supposed to because I don't feel like I knew that character especially well. It's surprising and somewhat sad, but I think her death may have had a bigger impact on readers if we had spent more time getting to know her. This is the danger of sprawling stories, and DeConnick has added a lot to the first arc. Bitch Planet is a good series that I like reading, but it has the potential to be much, much more.

Bill Murray turned 65 earlier this week and so we thought it was only fitting to dedicate this week's spotlight article to the much-loved actor and comedian.
William James "Bill" Murray was born on 21st September 1950. He began his acting career with The Second City in Chicago, an improvisational comedy troupe, headed by Del Close and at the age of 24, he moved to New York and was recruited by John Belushi as a featured player on the National Lampoon Radio Hour. His real step up the ladder came from working for NBC's Saturday Night Live, when in 1976, he officially became part of the cast. He stayed with Saturday Night Live for three seasons from 1977 to 1980 and even received an Emmy Award for his work there. The success of his Saturday Night Live comedic career led him to star in several comedy films, such as MEATBALLS (1979), CADDYSHACK (1980), GHOSTBUSTERS (1984), SCROOGED (1988) and GROUNDHOG DAY (1993).
GROUNDHOG DAY is an American fantasy comedy directed by Harold Ramis and Murray is known for his role in this film as Phil Connors, an arrogant TV weatherman. During an assignment covering the annual Groundhog Day event in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, he finds himself in a time loop, repeating the same day again and again. After indulging in hedonisme and committing suicide numerous times, he begins to re-examine his life and priorities. In 2006, the film was added to the United States National Film Registry as being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
It was then in 1998, when Murray first stepped into the quirky world of Wes Anderson in RUSHMORE. This was just the beginning of the fruitful relationship between the actor and director. Since then Murray has gone on to appear in several other Wes Anderson films such as THE ROYAL TENAUNBAUMS (2001), THE LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU (2005), THE DARJEELING LIMITED (2007), FANTASTIC MR FOX (2009), MOONRISE KINGDOM (2012) and THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL (2014). In fact, along with actor Owen Wilson, Bill Murray is the most recurring actor in Anderson's films.
After the critical acclaim Murray received for RUSHMORE he decided to take a turning point in his career where he decided to embark on more dramatic roles. The most famous was his appearance in Sofia Coppola's LOST IN TRANSLATION in 2003, earning him several awards, such as the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a leading role and Independent Spirit award for best male lead. The scene where he whispers something to Scarlett Johansson at the end of the film is one of the biggest mysteries of recent film history, even Coppola, the director doesn't know what was said during the improvised moment. More recently he was nominated for a Golden Globe for his role in the 2014 film ST VINCENT, where he plays Vincent MacKenna, a Vietnam war veteran and retiree who is a smoking and gambling alcoholic.
Murray is known for his somewhat eccentric nature, detaching himself from the Hollywood scene. He has neither an agent nor manager and prefers to be contacted directly through a personal telephone number with a voice mailbox, which he check regularly for offers of scripts and roles. Though this method has meant he has missed out on such films as LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE (directed by Jonathon Dayton and Valerie Faris), he still has a prolific film career under his belt. When asked about this system however, Murray seemed content with his inaccessibility, stating, "It's not that hard. If you have a good script that's what gets you involved. People say they can't find me. Well, if you can write a good script, that's a lot harder than finding someone. I don't worry about it; it's not my problem". It is exactly with this nonchalant and carefree attitude that he took four years out of his film career to study philosophy and history at La Sorbonne in Paris. How random!! But it is just in this way that he represents the independent spirit so well, something that we love here at ÉCU!

Christmas Viewing
Well, kidderoos, we're getting awfully close to Christmas (Christmas Eve as I write this!).
I must admit, that this year, Christmas has snuck up on me a little bit. I generally don't like to get into Christmas mode until after I'm done celebrating my birthday (November 25th), but it seems like the month since then has gone awfully fast.
One thing I like to do at this time of year is watch a few Christmas-themed movies. I can't say I'm really up on too many current Christmas movies, except maybe that made-for-TV one where Jenny McCarthy takes over for Santa.
But here's a couple of my faves, and as you'll see, that don't even have to have TOO much to do with Christmas, but they all bring back happy memories for me one way or the other.
Yes, Ralphie and his Red Rider BB gun. I try to watch this one every year. A while back, I got it on DVD, and THE DUDE~! started watching it. Unfortunately, he now fears Santa. "Ho, ho, hooooo!"
Oh, the days when a leading man could have both a receding hairline AND a mullet. Total '80's yuppiness. plus Bobcat Goldthwait. Did I spell that right?
Christmas only plays a supporting role in this one, but if you can't enjoy this Steve Martin and John Candy classic…well, you suck. THOSE AREN'T PILLOWS!!!
The original black and white version. A little slow-moving by todays standards (and a lot less colourful…ZING!). But I have a special place in my heart for this one. Years and years ago, my father's production company put on a version of this classic a couple times a night for very appreciate holiday audiences. I not only got to spend some great times being involved in the production with my parents, but even though it was one of the leaner Christmasses we had, I don't think I have ever been more in the "Christmas Spirit."
Hey, it was set at Christmastime, so why not! Yippy kie yay!
I have to be in a special mood for this one. I actually liked it a fair bit when it first came out, which is odd considering I was in high school at the time. I have a new appreciation for it since Mick Foley dissected it in his book "Foley is Good" and pointed out just how ridiculously violent and inappropriate it is for kids.
So there you have it, just a few to get you started. If I don't get to post again before the big day, have a great Christmas, everyone!

War is Over • Page 2
Will the next generation of consoles herald a truce in the graphics arms race?
However, even allowing for that significant bump in the road (which may be a bit of a pain for developers but is arguably an advantage for Nintendo, since it gives them crucial market differentiation), the actual development process ought to be relatively painless. Older hardware is familiar hardware, for one thing, and Nintendo's unlikely to stray far from off the shelf components. More importantly, taking aim at a similar level of graphical prowess to the PS3 and Xbox 360 means that the asset creation process is already in place. The same expertise and even the same asset pipelines that have been employed successfully on the present HD consoles should work fine on Project Cafe.
So, when Project Cafe hits the market, it's going to be a console with an innovative, headline grabbing interface, the power of the Nintendo juggernaut behind it, comparable development costs to existing hardware, and the media hype of a brand new system at a time when its rivals are beginning to look long in the tooth. The downside is that it won't actually be any more graphically powerful than its rivals. The million-dollar question is whether anyone will really care.
This is another "boy who cried wolf" story, of course. We've seen the end of the graphical arms race predicted any number of times in the past decade, and it's always entertaining to look back at screenshots and videos of games from times when people were saying things like "is there any need for graphics to be better than this?", and marvel at how easily pleased we were and how far we've come since then.
"Project Cafe is going to have such a huge influence on Microsoft and Sony's thinking - even though both companies are already well into the design and development process for their next-gen systems."
Yet this time, there are a number of factors aligning which - while they don't add up to an end to the arms race - certainly suggest a slowing down, and even perhaps a temporary truce. As discussed in previous weeks, skyrocketing development costs, both for software and hardware, are no longer being justified by sustained market growth. Moreover, in recent years consumers have voted with their wallets - by no means rejecting the cutting edge platforms, but certainly showing that they're also happy with hardware that offers a much less graphically impressive experience, such as the Wii, the PSP and the DS.
So, as uneasy as I am about joining the ranks of commentators who have asked "what's the point in graphics being better than this?" over the years, it's a question that must be posed - with some caveats. It's not that graphics can't be better, or that better graphics wouldn't be jaw-dropping, beautiful and wonderful. Rather, it's a question about a trade-off.
We could make games look an order of magnitude more impressive than titles like L.A. Noire or its ilk - but it would cost a vast amount of money. and I suspect that we've hit diminishing returns on that kind of expenditure already. Even the most casual consumers can see graphical improvements - they're not blind, or stupid - but the better game visuals get, the harder it is to create improvements that are good enough to sell consoles.
Even the most basic yardstick for console improvements has become a little hard to read. It used to seem like a reliable idea that every five years or so, consoles would catch up to the PC - a platform which sees advancements every few weeks - and remain competitive for a while, before the PC's cutting-edge accelerated away. In recent years, though, it's been interesting to watch what has actually happened to PC gaming.
Certainly, the PC cutting edge remains exactly that - new cards are released on a regular basis by AMD and NVIDIA, each more power-hungry and extraordinarily advanced than the last, with the best cards boasting a price tag which would comfortably buy you both of the current-gen HD consoles. However, the upgrade cycle appears to have slowed considerably - with games that actually demand cutting-edge systems being few and far between, and core gamers far more likely to continue happily playing on two, three or even four year old PCs than they were in the past.
A few different factors have pushed us in this direction - one of which is the diminishing returns to which I referred above, another being the rapid growth in popularity of laptops and Apple systems as gaming platforms. Both of these are difficult or impossible to upgrade - for that reason and many others, both were conventionally scorned as gaming PCs in the past, but it's easy to see from the consumer sales data that the market has moved strongly in their direction in the past five years. PC game developers know this, and target their games to work on laptop graphics parts rather than top-end cards.
If not a halt to progress, this is certainly a slowing - and probably one which is welcomed in most quarters. Consumers love improvements in graphical quality, but most would probably prefer to see any major increase in development budget being spent elsewhere - more detailed content, more expansive storytelling, more progress in areas that have been neglected in the former headlong rush to cram more polygons and effects onto every screen. Developers, too, would welcome such a switch in focus - while publishers would breathe a sigh of relief if the next console transition didn't bring with it another step-change in development costs.
That's why the reception for Nintendo's Project Cafe is going to have such a huge influence on Microsoft and Sony's thinking - even though both companies are already well into the design and development process for their next-gen systems. If Nintendo can get by with current generation power levels, the option for Sony and Microsoft to reign back their graphical ambition and focus their efforts on other aspects of the console will be wide open. If that does happen, plenty of journalists and commentators will rush to lament the death of progress - but in reality, it could be the best thing to happen to the progress of videogames in decades.

LUTHERAN WORLD RELIEF (LWR) began working in Indonesia following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, addressing both emergency and long term development needs. Indonesia remains one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world, with millions of people affected annually by earthquakes, landslides, floods and tsunamis. Poor, rural communities have few resources to prepare for or mitigate the effects of these hazards and even fewer resources to recover. Recognizing that effective development helps mitigate the impact of such hazards, LWR works to build community resilience through improving livelihoods, food security, climate change adaptation, and disaster risk reduction. LWR currently works in the provinces of Aceh, North Sumatra and Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT).
LWR promotes smallholder farmer participation in agricultural value chains as an essential step towards increased income generation and food security. LWR's agriculture value chain approach increases access to inputs and markets, leverages community assets and builds farmers' technical capacity to generate higher return from agricultural products. In Indonesia, LWR fosters the establishment of Self-Help Groups (SHGs) in rural communities to bring farmers together to increase crop productivity, quality and post-harvest processing and storage. LWR promotes new agricultural methods and provides field trainings, tools and technology to increase knowledge, skills, and yields from crops like cocoa and corn. SHGs facilitate farmer access to credit, provide entrée to more lucrative markets and support farmers to gain better prices than selling individually would. LWR strengthens SHG capacity by supporting business planning, building leadership and management skills and providing skills on organizational governance and networking to ensure SHG sustainability.
To support the management of larger livelihood enterprises, LWR provides farmers valuable skills in literacy and financial management, in areas where many have never had the opportunity to access formal education. To address gender imbalances in these business ventures, LWR encourages women's group savings and loan activities to support investment in small-business activities such as rice milling and corn processing.
Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction
Indonesia is already experiencing the effects of climate change. For Indonesian farmers, there is an urgent need to develop and use types of crop varieties that are resistant to abiotic (climate) stresses such as drought, erratic climate and flooding, as well as pests and disease resulting from the region's higher temperatures. To address this need, LWR incorporates climate change adaptation in all of our projects in Indonesia. For example, LWR has worked with local partners and farmers to improve agro-water management systems and to increase crop production and pest/disease resilience through climate smart agriculture methods. Through generous support from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), LWR has also worked with local communities to improve sustainable land use and mitigate the impact of climate change in Sumatra by rehabilitating 400 hectares of mangrove forests, establishing community-based natural resource management and disaster risk reduction plans, and promoting climate-friendly livelihoods. LWR programs have also focused on increasing alternative energy source capacity, like hydropower, to reduce community reliance on firewood or diesel generators.
Indonesia is especially vulnerable to natural disasters such as severe storms, tsunamis, earthquakes and volcanoes, and human-made disasters such as fires (from slash and burn agriculture practices). To reduce the risk and impact of these disasters, LWR works with village infrastructure, including schools, government offices and health facilities, to develop disaster risk management plans that assess and rank hazards and vulnerabilities and contain action plans to reduce vulnerability. LWR uses local networks to share best practices in disaster risk reduction and inform policy development as a means to advance preparedness practice and policy , build resilience and empower communities to respond to disasters in coordinated and organized ways. As with all of our work, LWR engages directly with local populations at each step in this process, so that communities are leading their own efforts to reduce vulnerability.
At the time of an emergency, LWR assesses community needs as well as our partners' capacity to address those needs, and responds accordingly. Emergency response programs may include food, water or non-food item provision, shelter construction and early livelihood recovery. LWR is committed to international standards of quality and accountability in emergency operations and believes strongly that those affected by disasters have a right to life with dignity, the right to receive humanitarian assistance, and the right to protection and security, in line with the Humanitarian Charter.

SQA are listed on the Education and Skills Funding Agency Register of Apprentice Assessment Organisations (RoAAO).
Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC)
The Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC) regulate CLC lawyers and entities in conveyancing provision, probate and other legal services.
Following successful completion of the end-point assessment, apprentices will become eligible to apply to the Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC) for either their professional registration on the CLC's Register for Conveyancing Technicians or their first employed licence to practise.
Since 2016, SQA has been responsible for quality assuring and certificating the revised qualifications in partnership with CLC. These qualifications, delivered by SQA approved centres, will form the on-programme qualification for the Apprenticeships in Conveyancing Technician and Licensed Conveyancer.
Conveyancing end-point assessment
An independent organisation must be involved in the end-point assessment of each apprentice so that all apprentices following the same standard are assessed consistently.
The final six months of each of the Conveyancing Apprenticeships culminates in an independent end-point assessment. This is an assessment of the knowledge, skills and behaviours that have been learnt throughout the Apprenticeship. Ensuring the apprentice meets the standard set by employers and that they are fully competent in the occupation.
This assessment is taken by apprentice candidates at the end of the on-programme phase of training when their employer (and their training provider) is satisfied that they have met the 'gateway' criteria to undertake the assessment.
Each of the Approaches to Assessment (Assessment Plans) for Conveyancing Technician and Licensed Conveyancer detail how end-point assessment should be delivered by the approved Apprentice Assessment Organisation (AAO).
Part 1 - An online scenario test taking up to two hours and consisting of two conveyancing scenarios to accommodate variable expanse or scope of tasks.
Part 2 - Submission of a showcase of evidence, followed by a professional discussion. The showcase should contain evidence collected near the end of the apprenticeship. The showcase will form the basis of the professional discussion between the apprentice and the Assessment Organisation. The professional discussion will take up to one hour, it can be conducted face to face or using an electronic platform, or other digital means.
Independent end-point assessors appointed by SQA will assess Parts 1 and 2 (scenarios, showcase and professional discussion) to determine whether the apprentice meets the Standard and demonstrates a level of knowledge and professional competence commensurate with the responsibilities and accountability of their role.
Apprenticeship certificates are only awarded by the Education and Skills Funding Agency after the end-point assessment has been successfully completed by apprentice candidates.
Apprentice assessment organisation
As a registered apprentice assessment organisation, SQA will deliver end-point assessment for each apprentice candidate in Conveyancing standards, and will be responsible for:
- Developing the content of the EPA - test questions, project topics and interview scripts in line with the assessment plan.
- Agreeing the cost of the EPA with the employer within the parameters set by the assessment plan.
- The contract agreement with the lead training provider for payment.
- Checking and verifying that the apprentice has completed any prerequisites to EPA, including any mandatory qualifications.
- Conducting the EPA of apprentices in line with the assessment plan.
- Quality assuring delivery of the EPA, and ensure that all requirements are fulfilled as set out in the assessment plan.
- Adhering to the external quality assurance requirements of the assessment plan.
- Ensuring the EPA is synoptic and independent, in line with the assessment plan.
- Identifying and recording when the apprentice has passed the EPA.
- Applying for the Apprenticeship Certificate.

One day more… A reflection on Kechigan
Tomorrow, I will arrive at temple 88 in the early morning. For Shikoku, that will be the end. I'll spend time looking into the various volunteer opportunities for Tohoku, spend a day or so in Tokyo, then off to Tohoku.
When nearing the end, it's hard not to contemplate the meaning of that ending
What is Kechigan? Did you get it?
Well… This is the word used to mean you have visited all 88 temples. You've 'kechigan'd, persay. The definition varies from person to person. Some say it means visiting every temple, and some say it is visiting every temple and visiting the first temple you went to once more to make a complete circle.
For me, completing the circle seems to fit the phrase more. However, my goal isn't to achieve some sort of Medellin of completion. I came here to bring the dreams and intentions of those I love as well as have a chance at living the transformative experience this pilgrimage has to offer.
After tomorrow, I will have done just that. Then I will have a few days to relax while I wait to hear from volunteer organizations. Then a few purchases in Tokyo and I'll be off once again!
Sadly, this post lacks the eloquence and imaginative language I try to fit into my other posts. My apologies for that. I must type this in a handicap restroom, and the awkwardness of doing so slackens my ability to speak with my heart.
Lol, with that – I'm off to unplug, write and sleep one last time in the beautiful nature of Shikoku!

By Michael Bademosi
'The Wright Brothers'
"A story of friendship, laughter and love, join Samantha on a journey to find a date for her sister's wedding, she's not been interested in meeting anyone since her last relationship ended, but with only 3 weeks till the wedding she has to find a date! Enter 3 brothers with very different characteristics, money; looks and personality, which one will win her over!"
Wow where do I even start, The Wright Brothers did EVERYTHING (and see I put 'everything' in capitals) that the the packaging said it would do, AND MORE. In terms of delivering realism, quality and attention to detail within a theatre production of its kind. I honestly went in to the theatre expecting it to be good already because I am already aware of how good of writers and directors Tyrone-Lee Davis and Kieran Shekoni are, from working with them on House Party UK. But then I also expected it to be another cliche London type of romance that tries to emulate a Tyler Perry film but ends in an 'Urban London Way' somebody getting shot or stabbed. Within the first 5 minutes I knew I had not come to watch a London version of a Tyler Perry film on stage, but I had come to see something great.
For me the thing I enjoyed the most about the production was the level of characterization, it was so well done you could tell which kind of person each character was without them giving anything away. As soon as I saw the wright brothers I began to write notes on my observations about how they were. The first brother that caught my attention was 'Michael Wright' (Tyrone Lee-Davis) the smart book worm, the reject out of the brothers and the person oblivious to image and life outside of education, it seemed like he was the youngest brother, apart from that he was very funny even when he wasn't trying to be and this really allowed the audience to warm to him. The second brother that caught my attention was 'Dean Wright' (Samuel Akinpelu) dressed in pricey branded attire, very confident with a cockney accent and an erratic gestures that suggested he was the one with the money and ego on top of that his P.A/Sidekick 'Marcus' (Kieron Langman) he always asked to do things, made him look even more important. The last brother that caught my attention was 'Ricardo Wright' (Kieran Shekoni) out of all the brothers he was the only one that didn't seem like he had insecurities within himself in the way he behaved. He was very suave and seemed like he was the ladies man and if this was a competition between the brothers he was the one to beat.
As the scenes progress the story develops and we go to find out that 'Samantha Thornton' (Gerri Hinds) is the girl the wright brothers are in this 'love' square with, we see scenes where she meets up with Ricardo, bumps into Michael and is pestered by Dean. It gets to a point where you think there is going to be a climax that will almost give a hint or leak what direction the play is going. The first half was so good I could not leave my seat it had me in that much excitement I started asking myself questions and trying to predict what would happen in the second half. "Will there be any emotional Or serious scenes of betrayal or conflict? Will the brothers end up falling out with each other? Will they fight? Who is going to get Samantha in the end?Will they end up with totally different girls than the 1st half suggested?
Will it end in total drama or will it be a happy ending?"
At some points I felt like It was a spoken word event and the actors were these poets because some of the reality in the lines and the way the lines were delivered were almost poetic and had the crowd going wild giving standing ovations at certain parts, and you could tell most of the crowd could relate and it triggered a switch turning on that light in their room of memories. The point that stood out for me was when Samantha's friend 'Shaney' (Elisha Myton) is telling Dean Wright about himself, about how he is insecure at that point all the females in the crowd were cheering and some were shouting and hollering things like "You go girl". As the play progressed we began to learn more about the characters and you felt part of their journey, Out of all the characters the audience, especially the females warmed to Michael the most and as the play went on he began to come out of his shell and became to look like the likely candidate for Samantha (See what i done there Candi-date LOL). Anyway as I sat in my seat waiting for what I thought would happen to take place, The brother I thought was most likely to go out with Samantha (Ricardo) ends up being told by Samantha he is just a friend to her and on top of that Ricardo talks about his love for 'Jasmine' (Sade Stewart). Within one scene the play went in a different direction to what I thought it was going!
I feel like I'm rambling on now but it shows how much I want to share with you and how much I enjoyed it, let me rap it up slowly but nice lol so yeah as the play drew near to the end everything started to make sense to me and the avenues of which the play and characters would end up on became so clear. Dean and Ricardo find out they both know Samantha and Dean becomes nice unlike before where he would insult her and forget his respect for women. The moment Michael grasped Samantha and finally escaped from his shell was when he recited his poem he wrote about her, the words did not only grasp Samantha but everybody in the crowd it got a good 20 seconds of applause it was like seeing your little brother grow up to win a trophy for the football team. The romance blossomed in a scene between Ricardo and Jasmine this scene was one of the best in terms of the suspense and the reality you could tell there was a lot of tension and they really wanted each other. One of my best scenes I could relate lol.
So here's how it goes.....we see Samantha with Michael as her date as her sisters wedding. We also witnessed the icebreaker between Ricardo and Jasmine so that leaves an idea of how the play will end, but I was telling myself theres going to be another surprise this is not a predictable play! The lights go off and there's silence....I'm telling myself "ahh I hope it aint finished I wanna find out who gets who man dont do this to me!! it cant end like THIS!!" But out comes the narrator (Davina Cole) and she goes on to say "lets see how they are doing now" (At this point I was standing up like i was watching a penalty shoot out lool I was too into it). We see that Ricardo and Jasmine are together, Michael gets Samantha In the end and the shock of the play for me was Dean and who he ended up being with, Shanay, Samanthas friend who disliked dean so much you would never think they would get together.
Seriously I could go on for hours about the story, but there are times you come across a piece of art that changes your view on certain situations you have been through. Everything The Wright Brothers represents ticks all the boxes for what you call a Romantic Comedy. It had me laughing from start to finish, every single person could relate to the characters and the story and it had a very good message behind it, it literally felt like you was watching film on stage and their world was at arms reach, the acting was so on point and the actors and actresses in the cast all contributed to the execution of the play. This play proves attention to detail is key in art and its the small things that count, all the small things in the play that wouldn't normally get noticed made this play better than many I have seen like the use of the narrator and the crowd interaction. Like the comedy club scene when 'Snapz The Comedian' (Michael Carpenter) made a cameo role and left the crowd in stitches. People that know me know I speak my mind and I can honestly say The Wright Brothers is one of the best theatre productions I have seen in a long time, it is just real.
This is definatly one to look out for I hope it gets commissioned/ funded and goes on tour because ALOT of people NEEEEED this in there life no matter who you are. I actually have NOTHING bad to say about it...actually I think I should be in the next 1 LOL. But On A serious note, to Tyrone Lee Davis, Kieran Shekoni, The Cast and Opus Dreams well done 5/5, I'm looking forward to what the future holds.
"Dont leave the one you love for the one you like, coz the one you like will leave you for the one they love" (Michael Wright)


text: This week I have been working on finishing up the last few things I can add to the site including the addition of fatalgrams, rounding out the histories and adding breaks in the pages to add definition to the sections. So far I have heard nothing from my team members from the class so It is unlikely that Aston will be contributing . I have also continued to add audio clips to soundcloud, and have started back up on attempted conversion and implementation of employment cards however so far I am not sold on the addition of the cards directly to the pages and am looking into alternatives.

Strickland's green jobs agenda
David Beach | 02/16/08 @ 5:21pm
Advocates of a sustainable future for Ohio found a lot to like in Gov. Ted Strickland's State of the State address on Feb. 6. The governor's $1.7 billion "Building Ohio Jobs" proposal included:
- $250 million to stimulate Ohio's involvement in energy efficiency, wind and solar energy, as well as for cleaner uses of coal and other renewable and advanced energy sources.
- $400 million to clean up polluted sites and preserve open space.
- $550 million dedicated to transportation, water, and sewage projects, including $150 million to help trucks, trains, and ships move goods more efficiently.
- $200 million to spur redevelopment of downtown neighborhoods.
- $100 million toward promoting biofuels instead of oil in some manufactured products.
Environmental groups are now calling on the General Assembly to place the proposal on the November ballot so voters can approve the green jobs funding.
Read more about the governor's proposal. And see more about a green jobs agenda for Northeast Ohio and a national green jobs conference coming up in Pittsburgh.

If you're wondering why I haven't been posting on the blog during the last few weeks, well it's because of the two little wonders Victor and Carla who are now sleeping like angels in the bedroom
Which leaves me a few minutes to post the latest painting in a series of 3 that I did find time (somehow miraculously) to make a the other day.
I have been working with some new ideas on perspective and these paintings are an effort to keep it neat and clean. No fuzzy throwing around with paint this time folks!
The inspiration for these paintings comes from my childhood memories of Lego ads. These ads were always showing a scene with a myriad of little legomen inhabiting a toyworld of plastic trees and houses. Everything was always clean and immaculate. Nothing left to chance.
So in a leap from what I have been doing previously, namely letting order emerge from disorder, portraits emerge from little random splotches of paint, I felt like tightening things up a bit.
The painting "Into the void", is my take on what it means to reject 9-5 and embark on that creative journey that so many of us long for. It's a crasy thing to do, no signposts, no safetynet, but what about the alternative?
The perception of risk changes according to your situation. In my case, what it took to get real about the art, was a kick in the ass and 6 months of pay. What do you need to take the leap?

If you want to know how to get rid of tonsil stones and having difficulty in swallowing, with ear pain and having bad breadth with sore throat then you are at the right place for information regarding not only how to get rid of tonsil stones but also other informations and remedies in case of tonsil stones.
If you want to know how to get rid of tonsil stones.
What are tonsil stones?
Tonsilloliths are calcified concretions that emerge within the palatal tonsil crypts. Additionally, the growth of these concretions into giant tonsilloliths is exceptionally uncommon. Tonsilloliths are white or yellowish calcified formation of bacteria and organic debris that often develop in enlarged tonsillar crypts.
How to get rid of tonsil stones naturally
Turmeric and honey combination:
Turmeric and honey can stop the growth of micro-organisms to de-materialize tonsil infection. Turmeric is a strong inflammatory protector. Mix raw honey and turmeric and take this paste 3 times in a day in order to have immediate relief.
Garlic, cloves and honey mixture:
In order to protect viral infections and bacteria this mixture of garlic & honey is affective. Garlic kills germs once it passes through the throat. Mix four cloves & grinded garlic leaves with a table spoon of honey and dilute this with lukewarm water. Take this mixture 3-4 times with water in a day for at least four days.
Water and orange juice mixture:
Orange juice is great source of Vitamin C that helps boost immunity to fight infection in tonsils and swollen tonsils. Add water (one part) and orange juice (three parts) and have it every day until symptoms get down. To flush the infection off the body it is very important to have sufficient water to keep hydrated
Saline (salt) water for gargles:
Mix salt with warm water and gargles for 3-4 times in a day will soothe the irritated throat and enlarged tonsils. Saline water fights the bacteria and warm water improves the blood circulation. Saline water (Salt-5gms in 250 ml water) takes out some fluids from the mucosa of the throat.
Pepper, dried ginger and dried basil leaves:
By combining pepper, crushed ginger generally a piece and a few basil leaves will get relief from the throat pain. Basil leaves act as anti-biotic, vitamin c in pepper improves the immunity and ginger is very powerful in infection due to action against inflammations.
How to get rid of tonsil stones using medical methods
TONSILLECTOMY (tonsil removal):
In medical treatment, surgery to remove tonsil stones is called as tonsillectomy. Tonsillectomy is typically performed under general anaesthesia. Patients who go through the surgery have difficulty in swallowing and a sore throat for a few days after the procedure. It is up to doctor's discretion whether to perform a partial tonsillectomy or remove the tonsils completely which depends on symptoms only if it becomes severe. Generally, adults are not encouraged to opt this because recovery takes longer while children can recover it fully in shorter time.
Tonsil stones are considered as short term treatment and not a health emergency unless tonsillitis are swollen and need an immediate attention. Normally, in some cases doctors usually prescribes antibiotic as amoxicillin to treat tonsil stones. The use of antibiotics is to remove bacteria from the tonsils. However, this treatment cannot long last because removal of bacteria from the tonsil may not prevent it from its return later. Patients may have side effects like vomiting, fever and diarrhoea. The disadvantage of antibiotics is that it does not stop or treat the underline cause that results in stones. So a chance of tonsil stones return is very high.
Laser cryptolisis is generally considered elective surgery to remove the tonsil stones. It is a less painful method and recovery process is shorter. However this is also a short term treatment.The laser treatment only removes the tonsil crypt from where the stones are developed.
How to get rid of tonsil stones by following preventive measures
- Proper hygiene and good health habits will prevent the appearance of tonsil stones
- Stay away from caffeine
- Consume vegetables which contains fibers
- Follow proved natural remedies

Creep Inc. makes me wonder, am I just getting old and nostalgic and doing everything I can to embrace some honest music? Music that doesn't feel like a stylist and hair dresser were the first members of the band, and everything else was second?

BOWLING GREEN — The death of a 66-year-old retired college professor under suspicious circumstances nearly eight months ago has been ruled a homicide by the Wood County coroner.
Dawn Glanz, who taught art history at Bowling Green State University, died of sharp-force injury to the scalp, said Dr. Douglas W. Hess, the county coroner.
RELATED CONTENT: 2013 Blade Homicide report
Although no one has been charged with causing her death, investigators last week obtained a search warrant in Lucas County Common Pleas Court to obtain DNA from Ms. Glanz's husband, Robert A. Brown, said Jerome Phillips, Mr. Brown's attorney.
Mr. Phillips said his client complied with the court order and provided the sample. He said the affidavit for the search warrant was sealed after the judge granted the request for the search warrant.
Maj. Tony Hetrick, of the Bowling Green Police Department, said the homicide remains under investigation and has been active since Ms. Glanz died on May 9 in her home on Kensington Boulevard.
"We are looking at some people, but I really can't release any names. No one has been charged," he said.
Ms. Glanz was Bowling Green's the first homicide victim in 2013.
The estate of Ms. Glanz has been the subject of a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Toledo since June when her sister, Gail Lincoln, asked for a temporary restraining order to stop Mr. Brown from going forward with a sale of her belongings.
Ms. Lincoln, of Ketchum, Idaho, said she received misleading information from Mr. Brown, including the circumstances of her death and that she had been cremated, according to her sworn statement in the complaint.
U.S. District Judge James Carr on June 21 issued an order barring Mr. Brown from holding the sale or disposing of any of the assets of his late wife pending a court order.
"We are saddened but relieved to have finally gotten the results. Once we have a chance to confer and look at the autopsy report and get a better understanding of where the police investigation is going we will take the appropriate legal action," said Richard Kerger, a Toledo lawyer who represents Ms. Lincoln.
Mr. Brown, 68, and Ms. Glanz were married in 2001 in Wood County.
According to the obituary published in The Blade, Mr. Brown said his wife had been dealing with health problems, but her death was "very sudden and unexpected."
Mr. Phillips had said Mr. Brown went to the house and found his wife unconscious on May 9 and there was blood in the bathroom. He said Ms. Glanz had some medical issues.
He said Mr. Brown called police and officers came to the home to investigate.
Ms. Glanz retired in 2003 from BGSU as an associate professor in the school of art and was named to the emeritus faculty. Her specialties included American art of the 19th and 20th centuries, art of western and northern Europe, and modern art.
She also served in the faculty senate.

Why are Isotopes Important ?
While discovered less than 100 years ago, Isotopes are now used in a
wide variety of scientific applications that touch the lives of almost
every citizen. These include:
Radiopharmaceuticals used for medical imaging in the diagnosis of a wide range of ailments, from pneumonia to heart problems to cancer;
Radiopharmaceuticals for cancer treatment and other therapeutic applications;
Smoke detectors used in our home and offices;
Batteries that power NASA satellites in the far reaches of our solar system;
Control rods that prevent nuclear power reactors from melting down;
As a ''fingerprint'' used in forensic analysis of food preparation sites and techniques;
To calibrate detectors used to keep our shipping ports safe from nuclear terrorism;
to enable new sources of energy such as nuclear fusion;
and many other applications in energy production, industrial diagnostic methods, archeology, geology, ecology, astronomy, and physics.
There are 90 naturally occurring elements with roughly 250 stable isotopes, and over 3200 unstable or radioactive isotopes. Different isotopes of the same element often have completely different properties -- making some of them invaluable for mankind, and others worthless [for the time being].
The production of separated isotopic samples -- whereby the purity of one isotope is greatly enhanced over its natural abundance -- can be very time consuming and expensive, and supplying the amounts needed for the growing demand in the above applications is a tremendous challenge.
We will post more detailed information on these utilizations in the near future. Please visit this page for more information on medical uses of radioisotopes.
There are numerous external websites with information on isotopes and their utilization. Please visit this page to see links to these sites.

Beijing-Honolulu flights now official
October 14, 2009 | Posted by Chris
The US Department of Transportation has given China's Hainan Airlines written approval to begin nonstop service from Beijing to Honolulu, USA Today writes. Hawaii state tourism liaison Marsha Wienert expressed optimism that Chinese tourists may provide a boost to the local economy, which is experiencing a slump in its tourism sector due to the global downturn. Hainan Airlines plans to initially service one flight a week and increase flight frequency to three times a week as demand builds. Hawaii has long been a popular destination for Asian tourists, and in recent years the number of visitors from China has increased dramatically: in the early 1990s about 10,000 Chinese tourists visited a year, by 1998 that number had tripled to 30,000, and last year the state welcomed about 60,000 visitors from China. This agreement adds Honolulu to a growing list of international destinations serviced by Hainan Airlines, a list that includes Berlin, Taipei, Moscow, Dubai and Seattle -- which in June 2008 became Hainan Airline's first US destination and today is serviced by four weekly nonstop flights from Beijing.

I was really hoping this would be a better version than AC3 was. Unfortunately, I have been let down again. If you haven't already read my review on AC3, check it out. I go into great detail about why the game was ruined. AC4 is more of the same.
The fighting mechanics are now boring, and consist mainly of blocking an enemy, then pressing X to kill them. You can't attempt to fight and block at the same time, because if you do, you'll miss your opportunity to block the enemy's incoming attack, and you will die. Period. This game is all about defensive fighting rather than offensive fighting. It leave a lot to be desired in comparison to the AC2 trilogy. They ruined this game by redesigning that.
Free-run is still broken. The fact that you can't differentiate between run and climb mode, means that you are constantly climbing shit when you don't want to. It's stupid, and another thing that has ruined this game in comparison with the AC2 trilogy.
Bugs are still rampant. I took down a fort, then a ship outside that fort. I attempted to board that ship before going to the fort. Game got stuck, and I had to restart the mission. Had a couple other times where I Had to restart the mission because the game was totally lost. Bummer.
I don't care what anyone says, I think the naval missions are stupid. This is not "Pirate's Creed". This is ASSASSIN'S CREED. I don't want to be a god damn ship captain. I want to do what I did in the first 2 versions of AC. I want to kill people and climb on call buildings and stuff. That's all gone now, and is hardly the majority of the game. It sucks that you can't play the game without doing naval missions. I just want to be an assassin. Besides, the naval stuff is BORING, and extremely slow moving. Taking down ships takes forever, and you have to take down tons of ships to be able to upgrade your own ship to be able to continue to do missions. I think Ubisoft should make a pirate game. People would love it, but I wouldn't buy it. I'm not dogging the gameplay itself, because they did a great job with the naval portion of the game… it's just not my "cup of tea".
Lots of great new things in this version of the game, and a lot of other great fixes compared to AC3. But the attention to being a pirate has brought me extreme boredom.

The Deputy General Secretary in charge of Communications for the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Ibrahim Sannie Daara has dared former sports minister Nii Lante Vanderpuije to come out with names in relation to his recent allegations that the GFA pays bribe to sports ministers.
Recently, the former sports minster in an interview on an Accra based radio station revealed that, the GFA has been inducing sports ministers to submit to their evil deeds at the FA.
Meanwhile, the spokesperson of the Ghana FA, speaking on Happy FM's Anopa Bosuo Sports, dared the former minister to come out with names of those who have been captured after his investigations.
"You were the minister. You had the power but you could not do anything about it. I'm daring him to mention the name of the one he has seen paying bribes to any sports minister. He talks too much and he should leave our sports alone. He needs fame but not this time. He just wants to divert our attention from our CHAN and world cup qualifiers. It's only under his reign that Ghana has suffered in qualifiers. I dare him to come out to mention the persons involved. He is a great liar and has never authenticated any of his allegations" Sannie bewailed.
The Communications director for the GFA also said, due to Nii Lante's poor performance, his party lost in the 2016 general elections and thus Nii Lante should be the hub for investigations into the reason why the NDC party lost the 2016 general elections; as he has been the worst sports minister ever for the country.
"As we speak the NDC party is investigating into why they lost election 2016. I'm telling them that if they want to get to the bottom of why they lost the election they should start with Nii Lante Vanderpuije. You were given the opportunity to help build the country's sports and you came there singing 'Kakai', always making fake allegations which he can't substantiate". Sannie Daara supposed

Corn gluten fertilizer is a natural by-product used in the creation of corn starches and is used as an alternative to chemical fertilizers. It is nontoxic and is primarily a source of nitrogen.Continue Reading
Corn gluten is also sold as a weeding product, as prior research at Iowa State found that the gluten meal worked to prevent seed germination. There is still contention with the findings of the Iowa State study. An Oregon State study, for instance, showed no notable weed prevention. For nontoxic weed prevention, corn gluten does have some benefit, though. Nitrogen-rich soil benefits thick grasses, which can help prevent weeds from germinating simply by choking them out of space in the lawn.Learn more about Gardening & Landscapes
