What does ESSA mean for parents, teachers, and students? Watch this short video to stay informed on West Virginia's proposed accountability system. After watching, be sure to click the "Share Your Opinion" tab above to take a short survey and make sure your voice is heard!
The West Virginia Department of Education is currently in the process of determining how the requirements of ESSA will translate into state education policies and practices. The Department will work in consultation with statewide educators and community partners to determine how best to address the requirements of ESSA and draft the State ESSA Plan by September 2017. The plan development timeline and process are subject to change as additional federal guidance is made available.
The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) was signed into law on December 10, 2015. It reauthorizes the 1965 Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), which was previously reauthorized as No Child Left Behind (NCLB). The ESSA requires each state to develop an implementation plan in consultation with school and community stakeholders. This website is designed to give all stakeholders information related to:
- the required ESSA State Plan components
- the ESSA decision points that will be incorporated into the ESSA State Plan
- opportunities to engage in the decision making process as a stakeholder for the ESSA State Plan
ESSA – State Plan Development
The West Virginia Department of Education is charged with the development of an ESSA State Plan with a submission deadline of September 2017. The ESSA State Plan will articulate how West Virginia's schools will implement the various requirements of the legislation. Major component sections of the Plan will include:
- Academic Standards and Assessment: states must describe challenging academic standards and assessments that are consistent with the regulations in Section 1111(b)(1) of ESSA.
- School Accountability and Support for Improvement: states must describe their school accountability system which must include various indicators of student achievement and outcomes. States must also describe its system of support for improving schools that are underperforming and identified by the accountability system to require differentiated supports for improvement.
- Support for Excellent Educators: states must describe their strategies for recruiting and retaining highly effective educators, providing supports to improve educator effectiveness and assuring that all student have access to highly effective teachers.
- Support for All Students: states must describe how it will ensure that all students receive a fair, equitable and high quality education with a focus on specific subgroup interventions.
Through this website, stakeholders will have the opportunity to provide input to decision making processes around a variety of issues that will be addressed in each of the Plan components listed above.
ESSA – Get Involved
The West Virginia Department of Education encourages you to participate in the development of the ESSA State Plan. There are several levels of stakeholder engagement. Many different stakeholder groups have already been engaged in the development of policies and programs related to each of the major ESSA State Plan components. As we move forward with new decision points, many of these stakeholder groups will be called upon to review options and make recommendations.
In addition, all interested citizens are invited to register as a West Virginia ESSA Stakeholder at this site. Registration will enable us to send you email notices of updated ESSA documents, include you in input surveys related to new decision points and make sure that you receive all notices related to public comment processes for the ESSA State Plan.

About Us
How it began
The choir was formed in 1994 by Phil Carrigan, now Musical Director of the Polperro Fishermens Choir. The Kessenyan Singers have only had four MDs. Paul Morris (already a valued choir member) took over in 2004 and Liz Sidebotham wasMD from 2009 -2012, and in January of that year, Sian Jamison took on the role.
Where we sing
The Kessenyan Singers sing at a wide range of venues: from more formal concerts in churches to Christmas performances at such popular attractions as the Eden Project and Mount Edgcumbe and appearances at local charity events. We are also a popular choice at weddings!
As well as raising hundreds of pounds each year for good causes, the Kessenyans also make sure that they have a lot of fun. Regular social activities for choir members ensure that this happens.
In addition to performing in Cornwall, the choir regularly gives concerts in other parts of the country and abroad. Outside England, visits have been made to Wales, Northern Ireland and Canada. In particular, a close relationship has been forged with two Canadian choirs. As a result, the Kessenyan Singers have performed in Canada three times and return visits to Cornwall have been made by the Canadian choirs.

Why Dating Pretty Much Sucks When You Have an Invisible Illness
Looks can be deceiving.
Dating was supposed to look like the rom-coms I loved growing up. I wanted my foot to pop like Mia's in "The Princess Diaries." Maybe the popular guy would actually notice me and we'd fall madly in love, like in "A Cinderella Story." I wanted to love and to be loved unconditionally. Yeah, I'm one of those people.
At first glance, you wouldn't be able to tell I have Type 1 diabetes. I'm pretty slim, I eat like a 6'4″ quarterback and I live a perfectly normal lifestyle. Unfortunately, my illness takes up a big part of my life, which can be hard to explain to a newcomer in my life.
I was diagnosed on November 19, 2009. At the time, health was the farthest thing from my mind. What other health thing besides her period would a teenage girl need to stress about? Instead of crying at the hospital because of the reality that I now had a chronic disease to control, I sobbed because I was being held overnight and there was a possibility that I would not be able to use my pre-purchased tickets for the premiere of "New Moon." What can I say? I was a teenage girl. My priorities consisted of two things in 2009: "Twilight" movies and boys.
In high school, I didn't tell many of my friends about my diabetes because I didn't want anyone to suddenly feel sorry for me. I've always been relatively shy and wanted to fly under the radar. To this day, many of my family members and friends still don't know.
It wasn't until I started dating that I began opening up about my illness. I felt that if I wanted to be open and vulnerable with someone I was dating, I needed to reveal this big part of my life. I prepared myself for any questions a possible suitor might have: "No, it wasn't because I was overweight or had too many donuts. Yes, I have to stick myself with needles three times a day. No, it doesn't hurt."
Being the optimist I am, I was hoping to find a boyfriend who'd embrace me and my illness. It took a while for me to find a great boyfriend who actually helps with my diabetes and genuinely cares about my wellbeing, but it was definitely a long journey. In a lot of cases, people found my invisible illness to be extra "baggage." But in all reality, it's just a part of my life that I can control, but not change.
Here's why dating with an invisible illness sucks sometimes.
"Eww…do you have to take your medicine right now?"
For some reason, one of my ex-boyfriends thought that my illness was gross. If I had to take an insulin shot and wasn't able to go to the bathroom to do it, he would freak out and start acting squeamish. I get it: Some people have a fear of needles. At one point in time, I did, too. But if you're in a relationship with someone, don't make a big deal about something they really can't control, like how they're instructed to take their medicine.
Because I was young (and very, very stupid), I stopped giving myself the shots during this time. Consequently, I landed at Children's Hospital in the ICU.
Moral of this story: Don't jeopardize your health to please someone else. Also, don't date them. They're not worth it.
"But you don't look sick…"
After I had moved on from that jerk, I started getting to know a guy I had previously worked with. We would always take lunch breaks together, but had never made any advancements. Finally, he asked me out. A few days before our date, I started feeling very sick. I ended up postponing our date and went to the doctor's office. Initially, my doctor assumed I had kidney stones and wanted me to get a sonogram to make sure everything was normal. I kept having to postpone dates to get sonograms and MRIs, but I explained to my would-be suitor that I'd be ready to go out whenever the mysterious thing making me sick was gone.
On Valentine's Day 2012, I found out I had a tumor on my liver the size of my fist. I texted my new flame a long paragraph explaining my tumor and apologizing for having to miss our proposed dates. His reply? "Sure, yeah right." I was so confused. Did he not believe me? Did he need a doctor's note? Had I somehow violated his trust? I asked him those same questions and never received an answer.
For some reason, when you have an illness and try explain that to someone, a lot of people assume you're supposed to show very obvious symptoms. What was I supposed to do, wear a T-shirt that said "Diabetic Diamond" or "Tumor Temptress" so potential suitors knew my situation upfront? I think not.
Your loss, pal. I'm now tumor free and cute af.
"Do you need anything? Are you sure? Are you positive?"
Once I got older, I started only dating guys I viewed as mature. Only mature guys wuld understand the complex world of invisible illnesses and would understand how to be a supportive lover. Finally, I met someone in college and thought I had hit the jackpot.
Unfortunately, the person I found was a little overbearing. I was very thankful to him for being there and sticking with me even when he knew my health required a little more attention. But it became frustrating when he started treating me like an actual baby. I'm talking cutting up food for me and trying to help wipe up any accidental spills I may have made. I get that it's the thought that counts, but please don't put too much thought into it, buddy.
I'm a big girl?—?I know how to cut my food and wipe up wine spills. The last thing any adult wants is to be treated like an infant. You can bet your butt that relationship ended quickly.
"So…there's been something I've been meaning to tell you…"
After these trainwreck relationships (or lack thereof), I started becoming very guarded. I know, I know: That's a big no-no. I didn't want to set myself up for the heartache I would encounter whenever a guy mistreated or misunderstood me because of my illnesses. I had a new dating mentality: Keep your illnesses a secret.
The plan worked until one date thought I was trying to run out of the date early when he saw me take my purse into the bathroom with me. I took longer than usual because I couldn't find my insulin needles in my cluttered bag, and that made him think he had done something wrong. That's when I realized that my insecurity affected those around me?—?including the guys I dated.
I couldn't let the issues I was internalizing prey on someone else's insecurities. I realized that not telling someone a big part of my life was selfish on my part. Like I said, I'm a big girl?—?I know how to recognize my faults and own up to my errors.
Of course, some people just aren't going to get it.
And that's okay! If there's anything I've learned over the years from my dating life, it's that not everyone is going to understand your lifestyle with an invisible illness and not everyone is willing to be patient with you. The people like that are just not meant for you, and that's okay. As the great philosopher Jay-Z said, "On to the next one."
There's someone out there who will love you with your "baggage." All those other lame-os can kick rocks with open-toed shoes.

The difference is droll:
The optimist sees the doughnut
But the pessimist sees the hole."
The Ladies Home Journal Cookbook.
The first Friday in June is historically National Doughnut Day.
National Donut Day was established in 1938 by the Salvation Army to raise funds during the Great Depression. The Story Of The Doughnut Girls would make a wonderful post in itself. I'm thinking about celebrating them in October. You see it was on Oct 19, 1917 that Salvation Army volunteer Helen Purviance made the first doughnuts for homesick U.S. soldiers. Each doughnut reminded the soldiers of home. The doughnuts were cooked in a kettle over an open fire. It has been said, "It was not the delicious home cooking, but the spirit in which it was served that captivated the men." The soldiers were affectionately called "Doughboys." The Salvation Army has been celebrating National Donut Day ever since. The promotions to raise money for the Salvation Army are still shared by many donut establishments. This year The Salvation Army is teaming up with Entenmann's® to Celebrate the 75th Annual National Donut Day at Madison Square Park in New York City.
A sweet celebration, 75 years in the making! The Salvation Army has partnered with Entenmann's Bakery, the maker of more than 100 sweet baked goods to celebrate the 75th Annual National Donut Day on June 1st, 2012 with a sweet program. The holiday, held annually on the first Friday of June, was established by The Salvation Army in 1938 to honor The Salvation Army's "Donut Lassies" who served these treats to soldiers during World War I. This significant occasion established the donut as a long-standing symbol of the services The Salvation Army continues to provide.
In its continued support of The Salvation Army, from April 22 to June 23 Entenmann's Bakery will donate to the organization $1 for every person who "likes" the Entenmann's Facebook page, up to $25,000. Entenmann's will also be rewarding lucky winners with Free Donuts for a Year Sweepstakes and additional prizes through Entenmann's Facebook page. 75th Annual National Donut Day Fun Facts
While I'm at it, I should probably tell you about the National Donut Day Twitter Sweepstakes being held by the folks @DunkinDonuts. It officially begins, according to their rules, at, and I quote, "begins at or about 9:00:00 am Eastern Time ("ET") on 6/1/12 and ends at or about 2:59:59 pm ET on 6/1/12.
You didn't think Krispy Kreme wouldn't jump through the hoop to get in on the action, now did you? Of course not. They're are offering Free Donuts!
On Friday, June 1, Krispy Kreme is helping its fans across the country pay homage on this delectable holiday by offering every guest one FREE doughnut of any variety at participating Krispy Kreme US locations.
As I was preparing this post last night, I was also notified by the folks at the Salvation Army, via twitter, that New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has declared June 1, 2012, NYC Donut Day! Rather strange I thought considering his most recent opinions on certain soda sizes.
...in just a few short hours (9:30am tomorrow morning to be exact), the city will be celebrating the 75th Annual Donut Day! There will be "'Donut Lassies' handing out donuts in traditional uniforms, free Entenmann's donuts and coffee, and the largest box of Entenmann's donuts ever created and donuts a whole foot in diameter! And to top it off, there's going to be proclamation letter from Mayor Bloomberg too.
Never mind the politics, I have the coolest book to share with you today. The title of the book is The Donut Book. Written by Sally Levitt Steinberg, The Donut Book is filled with "the origins, history, literature, lore, taste, etiquette, traditions, techniques, varieties, mathematics, mythology, commerce, philosophy, cuisine, and the glory of the donut." It says so right on the book cover. The best part is, Sally Levitt Steinberg is the granddaughter of Adolph Levitt, the man who invented the doughnut machine.
This excites me, I just can't help it. I love knowing about the history of these kinds of things and, more importantly, the people behind them. Although there are a few enclosed recipes in the book, it really isn't a cookbook. All I can say is this; if those infinite rings of comfort make your world go round, put the The Donut Book on your wish list!
Before I go on, I should tell you, this post is not any kind of endorsement. As many of you know, I don't usually go hog wild recommended many books, although I do have a tendency to discuss cookbooks every now and again, lol...It's just that Sally brings the doughnut to life. The munches of lore and glory are indescribable within the scope of this post.
Here are a few pictorial highlights for today. If you would like a more in depth look at the contents of the book, I posted all about it for National Donut Day in 2008. It's really quite interesting if you can get past my jibber jabber:) There's also the official recipe for Stella Young's Salvation Army Doughnuts.
And from the Doughnut Corporation of America, we have "Vitamized Doughboy Doughnuts! Not only does that link have, let's say, some unusual donut recipes, it also offers a bit of background on the Doughnut Corporation of America.
...The Doughnut Corporation of America, or DCA, was formed 1920 by Adolph Levitt, inventor of the automatic donut making machine. Sounds delicious, doesn't it? Sort of the thing you would be happy to lay under all day with your mouth open. Anyway, Mr. Levitt is also the father of the "donut chain", opening a store called "Mayflower" in 1931 and ulitmately having 18 stores nationwide. Which was a big deal at the time. The DCA is still around today, manufacturing specialized donut-making equipment to most commercial donut chains, including Dunkin' Donuts and Entenmanns...
In 1941, Dr. J. Howard Crum's Famous Donut Reducing Diet, was endorsed as a "sensible and pleasant way to take off pounds."
2012 is still a Leap Year isn't it???
What would National Donut Day be like if we didn't at least share one donut recipe?
Unlike the Donut Book which is filled with delectable lore, and a few recipes, Entenmann's Big Book of Baking has neither worthy of excitement. As a matter of fact, my fond memories of going to the Entenmann's Bakery store as a child, were shattered after paging through this book which was given to me as a gift. None the less, it does just happen to have a recipe for Chocolate Cake Donuts worthy of sharing today.
There are so many festive treats to celebrate in the month of June. I'll be back on Sunday with a few highlights and Picnic Game News too!!! Enjoy Donut Day! Louise

Commonly referred to as Mima Mounds because Mima County Washington was one of the first places they were studied.
Some facts about the Mima Mounds also know as pimple mounds and many different names around the world.
- Mima Mounds can be found on all continents except Antarctica.
- Mima Mounds appear only in the recent geological record.
- Mima Mounds have been through at least one ice age, the Wisconsin, and maybe more.
- By conservative estimates Mima Mounds cover about 10% of the Earth's continental surfaces.
- It is possible that when Mima Mounds initially appeared that they covered 40% or more of the Earth's continental surfaces.
- All Mima Mounds look to be of a similar age.
- Most of the original Mima Mounds have been destroyed by the activities of both nature and man.
- No new Mima Mounds are being created.
The process that created the Mima Mounds:
- happened only once in Earth's geological history.
- happened recently, geologically speaking.
- may have covered 50% or more of the continental surfaces of the planet.
- created Mima Mounds on almost every type of terrain on the planet.
- created Mima Mounds from islands south of South America to islands north of the Hudson Bay.
- created complete mounds and there are no mounds in the process of being constructed have ever been found.
- The process has eluded science for over 150 years, though not for a lack of effort.
Surprisingly, few people even know the mounds exist.
The world map shows only a very small portion of Mima Mound locations around the world. Coverage is best in the Western U.S.
There are artificial stone decorations on the Mima Mounds of the Weed field in the southern Shasta Valley.
These decorations are very substantial.
The approach here has been to investigate the stone decorations from three directions.
- examine the decorating stones.
- examine other Mima Mound fields for similar decorations.
- look in Google Earth for other areas with the same unique aerial footprint.

Ploughing can be performed both manually and with mechanical tools, and they should be done rotating the cultivations before the weeks close to the sowing season. Usually late fall or before turning on the whole implant is the right moment to get the soil ready to production. Fertilization is improved by sinking the spade or the rototiller deep in the ground to move and mix the soil. In this way it also clears the area removing residuals and roots that could suffocate the new plants. Once the area has been spaded you can add the fertilizer and break the bigger clods and clumps into smaller pieces. Once the soil has been completely flipped over, if the procedure is part of the winter season preparation, some manure should be spread on the surface so that the rain will let the substances get absorbed in order to feed the new plants when the sowing is over. After a few days of irrigation the area should be cleared from weeds that would grow in the meantime. Once the preparation is over, the ground warmed up by the heat of spring, the area is ready to be cultivated with the most preferred technique.
| Starting & Saving Seeds: Grow the Perfect Vegetables, Fruits, Herbs, and Flowers for Your Garden Prezzo: in offerta su Amazon a: 20,42€
Grooving or digging holes is the most common technique to sow vegetables plants, aligning the holes in order to make them clear and recognizable once the seeds start to bud. Once the seeds are placed in position on the rifts, they should be covered and the soil needs to be raked and compressed a little to fix the seeds in position. When they bud, the strongest newborn will last, the weakest will be removed and replanted somewhere else, in order to let the main one grow without being suffocated. Scatter sowing is used when willing to spread seeds using a sowing machine or doing it by hand, opening up your arms with circular movements large and wide. This requests experience. Usually, seeds are mixed with a little bit of soil to make the seeding more consistent.
Once the seeds are spread, or located in holes and rifts, the area has to be covered with soil and usually manure or other fertilizers, at least in a measure of three times the dimension of the seeds. This will prevent any unwelcome movement form external agents, such as wind, rain or animals, to affect the results of the seeding procedure. In the following weeks, the soil must be kept wet and and clear from any weed which could be harmful for the new plants. Raking will be needed if necessary depending on how the ground will look like after irrigation.

DESMOND TUTU: NO FUTURE WITHOUT FORGIVENESS. ()In No Future Without Forgiveness, Desmond Tutu argues that true reconciliation cannot be achieved by denying the past. But neither is it easy to reconcile when a nation "looks the beast in the eye." Rather than repeat platitudes about forgiveness, he presents a bold spirituality that recognizes the horrors people can inflict upon one another, and yet retains a sense of idealism about reconciliation. With a clarity of pitch born out of decades of experiences, Desmond Tutu shows readers how to move forward with honesty and compassion to build a newer and more humane world.
"In its sober depiction and searing indictment of evil and in its never-maudlin advocacy of love, this is a masterpiece."
DESMOND TUTU: recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984, retired as Archbishop of Capetown, South Africa, in 1996. He is active as a lecturer throughout the world and recently was a visiting professor at Emory University in Atlanta.
"The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of South Africa has out the spotlight on all of us……..In its hearings Desmond Tutu has conveyed our common pain and sorrow, our hope and confidence in the future."

PLATO: THE REPUBLIC. ()"Must we not acknowledge………that in each of us there are the same principles and habits which there are in the State; and that from the individual they pass into the State?"
What does it mean to be good? What enables us to distinguish right from wrong? And how should human virtues be translated into a just society? These are questions that Plato sought to answer in this monumental work of moral and political philosophy, a book surpassed only by the Bible in its formative influence on two thousand years of Western thought.
In the course of its tautly reasoned Socratic dialogues, The Republic accomplishes nothing less than an anatomy of the soul and an exhaustive description of a State that both mirrors and enforces the soul's ideal harmony. The resulting text is at once mystical and elegantly logical and may be read as a template for the societies in which most of us live today.Add to Cart₦2,000.00

The People vs Muhammad - Psychological Analysis By J.K Sheindlin ()Is Islam a "religion of peace"? Was Muhammad the true and final prophet of God? Is the Quran the fulfilment of the Bible, and legitimately continuing the traditions of the Judeo-Christian scriptures?
Perhaps one of the most audacious, shocking, unthinkable and highly controversial ideas to ever be conceived, The People vs Muhammad places the founding father of Islam on trial for crimes against humanity, and to challenge his self-proclaimed authority. With the growing threat of home-grown Muslim jihadist terrorist attacks and the ominous cataclysm of a global holy war, there's no doubt Islam has become a burdensome issue which has our own western governments perplexed.
This book series intends to investigate the true ideology of Islam, to ascertain with reason and logic the legitimacy of Muhammad's claim and core teachings of his cult. Throughout this series, author J.K Sheindlin carefully analyses the Quran and the Islamic texts legalistically to expose the shocking truth pertaining to Muhammad's advocation for:
Pedophilia, honor killings, sex slavery, prostitution, racism, extortion, murder, psychological
indoctrination, intellectual terrorism, censorship, grand larceny, racketeering, domestic violence, gender inequality, and much more!
In this powerful series, the first installment Psychological analysis delves deep into Muhammad's past and uncovers disturbing facts which undoubtedly prove to be the origins of his multiple psychopathological disorders. Using entirely the Islamic sources in reference to contemporary psychiatric-medical archives, J.K Sheindlin details Muhammad's extensive catalogue of mental illnesses which include:
Psychopathy, Gynophobia, Napoleon Complex, Schizophrenia, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Messiah-God Complex, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Athazagorophobia, Oedipus Complex,
Sex-addiction, Pedophilia, and Necrophilia.
Furthermore, the author also hypothesizes a convincing argument based on medical science, which
debunks Muhammad's first revelation. These external factors being:
Volcanic gas inhalation, sensory deprivation, starvation, dehydration, brain damage and Syphilis.
Written to provoke a rational response from both Muslim and western readers, the verdict is ultimately decided by the public to determine if Muhammad's claim to prophethood is legitimate.

US web behaviour monitor ComScore & search engine Yahoo! have released the results of a large scale study that demonstrates the link between online advertising and buying in stores. 175,000 consumers were tracked over 9 months, with some being exposed to online advertising from the five brands in the study.
The results were conclusive. Store sales were an average 41% higher for the consumers who'd seen both display and search ads for the tracked brands. For every incremental $1 spent online, $6 was spent in a store. The group exposed to online advertising looked at an average of six more pages while researching online compared to the group that didn't see the ads.
What does this mean? It shows that brands must operate both on- and offline to maximise the effectiveness of their promotional spend. And that consumers are using the web to "pre-shop" so even if you don't think you will sell much online, you still need a website (and online ads to drive traffic to the that site) to catch these researchers.

Some regionservers did not shut down cleanly. Upon restart our locality went from 99% to 5%. Upon looking at the AssignmentManager.joinCluster() code it calls AssignmentManager.processDeadServersAndRegionsInTransition(). > If the failover flag gets set for any reason it seems we don't call assignAllUserRegions(). Then it looks like the balancer does the work in assigning those regions, we don't use a locality aware balancer and we lost our region locality. > I don't have a solid grasp on the reasoning for these checks but there could be some potential workarounds here. > 1. After shutting down your cluster, move your WALs aside (replay later). > 2. Clean up your zNodes > That seems to work, but requires a lot of manual labor. Another solution which I prefer would be to have a flag for ./start-hbase.sh --clean > If we start master with that flag then we do a check in AssignmentManager.processDeadServersAndRegionsInTransition() thus if this flag is set we call: assignAllUserRegions() regardless of the failover state. > I have a patch for the later solution, that is if I am understanding the logic correctly. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)

The margin of sampling error among blacks is
The margin of sampling error among blacks is plus or minus 5.7 percentage points. Nevertheless, although it is not likely that any NFL locker room will ever mirror ordinary workplaces, the fallout of the Wells report may shove NFL team cultures much closer to what is expected in business.In this article, I will highlight aspects of the Wells report to provide a general description of how claims of harassment (both non sexual harassment and sexual harassment) are established under federal anti discrimination laws.

The college players who perform at the highest level consistently while garnering national media attention, and players who win collegiate awards and are named to all conference and all star teams will have a leg up and be considered as NFL Draft potential for the league's 32 teams.

"Medical experts have not recommended making a change or revisiting our collectively bargained policy and approach [between the NFL and NFL Players Association] related to marijuana, and our position on its use remains consistent with federal law and workplace policies across the country," states Brian McCarthy, a spokesman for the NFL..
If somebody wanted a Fifth Avenue store and it was substantially larger, they'd still take the space because they wanted the presence," said Andrew Goldberg, vice chairman at real estate services company CBRE Group.. Is this joker serious that this is some kind of a scam? You know what's a scam? Hollywood continuing to take our money while they crap all over Americans who give their hard earned money to watch these people entertain us, and then turn around the very next day and call us all deplorables, idiots, and they make fun of us all the time.".

Weekend box office: Blade Runner 2049 takes the top spot
Sometimes reporting the weekend box office news is depressing and today is one of those days. It's so frustrating that a movie as original and as beautiful as BLADE RUNNER 2049 is going to be considered a box office disappointment after struggling with just over $30 million on its opening weekend. International numbers don't look much better. Critics and fans alike enjoy bashing Hollywood for not giving us high quality science fiction movies, but if something like BLADE RUNNER 2049 can't find an audience, I don't see much incentive for Hollywood to keep trying. The other new movies of the weekend didn't fare too much better. The kids movie MY LITTLE PONY will come in second place, presumably appealing to the daughters of the women that actually remember MY LITTLE PONY. Finally, there's THE MOUNTAIN BETWEEN US (click the link to read our review), starring Kate Winslet and Idris Elba. The poorly received film should finish in third place.
The good news, if any, for BLADE RUNNER 2049 is that it should take the top spot next weekend as well since there aren't any big movies releasing. First is MARSHAL, starring Chadwick Boseman. The movie looks fine and I'm sure Chadwick does a great job, but I can't imagine the film doing much damage at the weekend box office. Next, there's Jackie Chan's THE FOREIGNER, which looks like his best movie in a very, very long time. But again, I don't see the film reaching a mass audience. Finally, there's a handful of Oscar bait films like GOODBYE CHRISTOPHER ROBIN and BREATHE. Note: the numbers below will be updated as they become final.
1. Blade Runner 2049 $33m
2. My Little Pony $10.5m
3. The Mountain Between Us $10m
4. It $9.3m
5. Kingsman: The Golden Circle $8.2m
6. American Made $8.1m
7. The LEGO Ninjago Movie $6.8m
8. Victoria and Abdul $4.5m
9. Flatliners $3.5m
10. Battle of the Sexes $2.4m
