Create your own job
Don't wait for employers to open their doors and invite you in. Why? Because it may be a long time before they do that. Employers are nervous about taking on the commitments of full time workers, whether blue collar or white collar. Understandable. Depending on where you are, the re-starting of international trade – the trade that a country needs to support its internal structure and culture – is a complex business. That complexity is exacerbated by the US-China tensions, by the geopolitical struggle for vaccines and by odd accidents like the Suez Canal mishap. 'Labour Liquidity' is what employers want. I suggest you help them get it.
In the next twenty years full time employment will become an exception, at least for many white collar jobs. By then the rule will be individual skills bought competitively from a pool of services. Those services will involve management, including top management, just as 'temporary' top managers are being hired today. No doubt AI will play a vasky bigger part in the picture and people will have been replaced in many areas of management but not, I suspect, totally. Perhaps in time it will, but the human brain has a lot going for it and any competitor must shine with equal versatility and subtlety. And as AI develops so will our knowledge of, and ability to influence, the brain. SO expert the brain itself to be on a growing platform.
For now, the unemployed should first establish their purpose in life and, based on that, their immediate goals. If they do this sensibly they will vividly know their strengths and weaknesses, their inherent skills, their interests and the multitude of things that go to make life interesting. From this they can see what they are likely to be most successful at. What you enjoy is what you probably will do best. Sounds a bit strange, if there are not enough jobs to go round? Not at all. Instead of waiting for a job to turn up, start your own gig, make yourself known for some speciality, get a reputation. That's how businesses work and it is the same for gigs.
Don't know how to start a gig? There are plenty of people willing to help you but you must do the preliminary work first. Most important before you start any business of your own be clear how well you understand and handle money. Knowing when to be mean and when to be generous is key to making a profit, not easy at the best of times. You will be working in a highly competitive environment. So your costs must be clear and well under control. If you are not good at handling money you must partner with someone who is. At least one of the owners of the gig must be good with money or the enterprise will go bust. Don't underestimate the importance of this. However far removed from money the subject of the business is, a good grasp of finance is critical.
One of the partners also needs to be highly creative, preferably not the one that deals with cash. Having the original idea may be an act of creativity but the need for swift, related thinking continues every day and more than a few nights. Your bright idea will only become worth millions when every facet of its development has been thought through, tested, measured, tried and accepted or rejected. If it's a restaurant you want to start, consider the atmosphere as much as the menu. Small touches often make big rewards. What you present the hungry guest has to be monitored every day. Think what sort of person the restaurant is for. And never stop thinking that as you learn what sort of people will, in fact, use it.
If you're in the high-tech business remember that the giant techs like Google, Microsoft, Musk, Amazon are aiming for the big fishes. They will ignore any that don't meet their criteria of size and speed to develop. That means there are plenty of other apps and systems waiting to be invented. It does not mean that these other developments are worthless. You have a market aching to use new ideas to make life more interesting, faster and increasingly automated.
In truth, the world has never been more in favour of the entrepreneur. From Government grants to high quality mentoring, coaching and training it is the best of all times to start your own enterprise. If you are a persistent person, prepared to fight on regardless of the setbacks, you will achieve something many dream of but few accomplish.

On Thursday, December 11, we're having an unusual guest here. I invited author Jean Henry Mead to visit to promote her new senior sleuth mystery A Village Shattered. Jean asked if she could send one of her characters in her stead, and it didn't take long for me to decide to interview retirement village resident and Portugese dairyman's widow, Michelle Lugundos, known to all as Micki. Be sure to come back Thursday to meet this intriguing character.
Jean told me her characters were more interesting than she is, but I've been following her blog book tour and read several fascinating interviews.
She began her career as a photojournalist and had numerous newspaper and magazine credits by the time her first nonfiction book was published in 1981. She has interviewed well-known politicians, famous writers, and notorious bad guys. After publishing several nonfiction books, she realized she had way too much good research to ignore, so she used the material to write her first novel.
The crime-solvers in A Village Shattered are senior citizens. Jean writes senior sleuth novels to show that seniors can do just about anything a twenty-something character can. And she has created a large and varied cast of characters who live in the retirmenet village. At least they all used to live there—now a murderer is decimating their numbers at a rapid pace.
Micki said she would bring Jean with her on Thursday to answer questions and respond to comments. Come back to meet Micki and Jean and learn more about A Village Shattered.

Pogs is a game that was popular among children during the mid 1990s. The name originates from POG, a brand of juice made from passionfruit, orange, and guava; the use of POG bottle caps to play the game preceded the game's commercialization. The game of pogs possibly originated in Hawaii (Maui) in the 1920s or 1930s, or possibly with origins in Menko, a Japanese card game very similar to pogs, which has been in existence since the 17th century. Pogs returned to popularity when the World POG Federation and the Canada Games Company reintroduced them to the public in the 1990s. The pog fad soared, and peaked in the mid-1990s.
Pog typically relies on two types of playing discs: pogs and slammers. Pogs are typically flat circular cardboard discs which are decorated with images on one or both sides. Traditional (or traditional-style) pogs are made of rougher cardboard, are printed with limited colors, and often have a staple in them (as they appeared when used as actual POG bottlecaps), while modern commercial pogs were stiffer, thicker and are often printed with colorful glossy imagery.
The other equipment that is used is a slammer: a heavier game piece often made of metal, rubber, or more commonly plastic which come in various thicknesses and weights, but are typically similar in diameter to pogs. Metal slammers are not allowed in some games because they are typically heavier than other materials, giving the player with the first turn an unfair advantage.
Rules vary among players, but the game variants generally have common gameplay features. Each player has his/her own collection of pogs and one or more slammers. Before the game, players decide whether to play "for keeps", or not. "For keeps" implies that the players keep the POGs that they win during the game and forfeit those that have been won by other players. The game can then begin as follows:
The game of pogs was played on the Hawaiian island of Maui as early as 1927. The 1990s revival is credited to Blossom Galbiso, a teacher and guidance counselor who taught at Waialua Elementary School in Oahu. In 1991, Galbiso introduced the game she had played as a little girl to a new generation of students, soon incorporating pogs into her fifth grade curriculum as a way of teaching math and as a nonviolent alternative to other popular schoolyard games, such as dodgeball. The game quickly spread from Oahu's North Shore, and by early 1992, STANPAC Inc., the small Canadian packaging company that had been manufacturing the milk caps distributed by Haleakala Dairy on Maui (the same caps that were collected by Galbiso for her class), was printing millions of pogs every week for shipment to the Hawaiian island chain. The game soon spread to the mainland, first surfacing in California, Texas, Oregon, and Washington before spreading to the rest of the country. By 1993, the previously obscure game of pogs, which had almost been forgotten, was now played throughout the world.
As the game gained in popularity, thousands of types of pogs were manufactured, covering a wide array of images of toys, cartoons, movies, games, sports, famous people and famous world leaders such as UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and US President Bill Clinton. Public awareness messages concerning topics such as first aid, safety, wildfire prevention, and drug use were also featured on pogs, and they were also used for fund raising for charities and organizations such as the Red Cross and cancer research organizations. The popularity of the game spawned pog prizes at major fast-food chains (see below), as well as knockoffs, such as "Slammer Whammers", a similar game released under a different brand name. Pogs can sometimes still be found on eBay and in game and card stores.
Also capitalizing on the success of pogs were corporations and governments. Fast food chains such as McDonald's, Burger King, Taco Bell, Del Taco, Carl's Jr./Hardee's and Checkers/Rallys gave away free pogs with the purchase of a menu item. Fox television released a line of pogs with the debut of "The Tick" animated series. Disneyland produced limited edition caps for its "Go POG Wild and rollerblade Crazy" event in the spring of 1994. Knott's Berry Farm produced a limited edition set for the 1994 Southern California POG Championship. Nintendo Power released many sets of pogs featuring Nintendo characters from games like Mega Man and EarthBound that were either packaged in with issues of the magazine or redeemable through their mail-in rewards program. Kool-Aid also produced limited edition caps and slammers with the Kool-Aid Man imprinted on them, which were only available by mailing in a certain amount of Kool-Aid points. In an effort to curb drug use and crime, the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program in California designed caps with the DARE logo and Scruff McGruff, as well as county sheriff badges.
Because many children would keep the pogs they won in games from other players, many school districts considered pogs a form of gambling. Pogs proved to be major distractions from classes and the source of various playground arguments. These elements eventually led to the banning of pogs from various schools across North America. Other bannings occurred across Australia.
The World POG Federation, or WPF for short, was probably the biggest brand of pogs in the UK. Most POGs feature the POG mascot, called Pogman.
These pogs had many series featuring images mostly comical in nature, or parodying skits of famous scenes from movies, or other popular culture.
There were World Pog Federation pogs in Canada, the US and Australia too, but were produced by other companies, such as the Canada Games Company, or Crown & Andrews.
Several waves of Playmates' Star Trek action figures came with bonus collectible, numbered, "Space Caps", featuring artwork of the figures themselves.
Tazos were also popular in the UK and Australia - these were effectively pogs with notches along their circumference which meant they could be connected together and used to construct rudimentary 3D shapes. They were given away free in packets of Walkers Crisps and usually featured licensed properties - notably scenes from Star Wars, Looney Tunes and Pokémon.
The Army and Air Force Exchange Service, the United States Department of Defense's largest and oldest exchange system, distributes pog-like coinage as change at its stores in contingency areas (those supporting Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom). The reason for adopting pogs as currency was that supply flights overseas had limited capacity and air-freight shipping involved high costs. Metal coinage weighs significantly more than paper pogs, which are also much thinner than standard pogs. While they are only issued in contingency areas, they are redeemable at any AAFES store worldwide.

"How would you describe Jesus in one or two words?" I asked the youth in our Bible study. They chimed in quickly with love, goodness, humble, pious, kind, caring, devout, meek and gentle.
"So, what do you think Jesus would actually look like?" They mentioned long hair, pale skin and a constant smile, like a hippie from the 1960's. Another student described Jesus as if He were Mister Rogers dressed in his signature sweater singing, "It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood."
"Wait a minute!" I asked the class. "Do you really think Jesus looked like a hippie or a nice guy in a sweater? "Remember, Jesus was arrested, beaten and tortured before being killed on a cross. Would anyone do that to a flower child or Mr. Rogers? Nah! I don't think so."
So I asked the youth another question: "Why were the Jews so angry at Jesus?"
The same youth who spoke so quickly before were now silent. One looked at me and quietly answered: "I don't know. Why would they want to kill Jesus?"
I responded: "There are interesting answers in the twenty third chapter of Matthew."
"Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, 'The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat; therefore, do whatever they teach you and follow it; but do not do as they do, for they do not practice what they teach.'" (Matthew 23:1-3)
The scribes and Pharisees do not practice what they teach? Who are the scribes and Pharisees and why is Jesus chastising them?
Scribes and Pharisees were experts on Jewish law. Surrounded by Greek culture and Roman occupation, the Jewish people were slowly losing their identity as people devoted to God's law. Scribes and Pharisees took a heroic stand to follow God's law no matter what. They were respected and considered heroes. Scribes and Pharisees were much like your pastor and church leaders. Good people of the church and community. People like you and me.
Imagine Jesus visiting your church on a Sunday morning. The entire community gathers to hear the message. On the front row sits the pastor and church leaders. Jesus steps up to the pulpit and thrusts his arm toward the front row and shouts: "You pastors and church leaders sit in nice buildings with thickly padded pews and stained glass windows. You may be good teachers but you do not practice what you teach."
"Are you beginning to understand why the scribes and Pharisees were so offended?" I said to the students. "But wait, there is more." I returned to chapter 23 of Matthew and continued reading:
Verse 13: "How terrible it will be for you pastors and church leaders…"
Verse 15: "Yes, How terrible it will be for you pastors and church leaders…"
Verse 16: "Blind guides! How terrible it will be for you!"
Verse 23: "How terrible it will be for you pastors and church leaders…"
Verse 25: "How terrible it will be for you pastors and church leaders…"
Verse 27: "How terrible it will be for you pastors and church leaders…"
Verse 29: "How terrible it will be for you pastors and church leaders…"
When something is repeated in the Bible, it is important. Jesus says the same phrase many times. Then he shouts the harshest condemnation of all: Verse 33: "Snakes! Sons of vipers! How will you escape the judgment of hell?"
The students by this time had looks of horror on their faces. One child looked near tears before asking the obvious question: "Why was Jesus so angry?"
Some people always look and act angry so we don't pay much attention to them but when a person like Jesus who is known for being loving, calm and compassionate blows his top, you notice.
Why was Jesus so angry? Also, why was he so angry at pastors, Sunday school teachers, choir members, Administrative Board chairpersons, deacons, elders and other leaders?
In other words: "Why was Jesus so angry at me?
Next: Part 2 of "A Different Way of Looking at Jesus." The answers may surprise you or even infuriate you. But, then you will begin to understand why Jesus very deliberately walked a road destined for a cross on Calvary. Meanwhile, read Matthew 23 for yourself and let me know what you think. I may include your thoughts next week. Email me at email@example.com

I can't take credit for any of this recipe: I followed PW's recipe to a T. Except I didn't have enough cream, so I topped it off with about 1/2 c. half and half. Oh yeah, speaking of all that cream, like most of PW's recipes, this isn't exactly health food. It is, however, delicious. I love corn chowder, I love the spicy/creamy combo, and I love the bacon and chipotle flavors together. Warning: if you're not a big fan of spice, you might want to only use one chipotle pepper instead of two; this packs quite a bit of heat.
2 slices Bacon, Cut Into 1/2-inch Pieces (or Smaller)
2 Tablespoons Butter
1-½ whole Yellow Onion, Diced
5 ears Corn, Shucked (about 4 Cups)
2 whole Chipotle Peppers In Adobo Sauce, Finely Diced
1 whole 4-ounce Can Diced Green Chilies
32 ounces, fluid Low Sodium Chicken Broth
1-½ cup Heavy Whipping Cream
½ teaspoons Kosher Salt (more To Taste)
3 Tablespoons Corn Meal OR Masa
¼ cups Water
Preparation Instructions
(Carefully) slice the corn kernels off the cob. Set aside.
Add bacon pieces to a pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Cook for a couple of minutes. Throw in diced onion and stir, cooking the onion for 3 to 4 minutes. Add butter and melt. Add corn. Stir and cook for one minute. Add both kinds of chilies and stir.
Pour in chicken broth and cream. Add salt. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low.
Combine cornmeal (or masa) with water. Stir to combine, then pour into the chowder. Cover and cook for 15 minutes over low heat. If chowder needs more thickening, add another tablespoon of cornmeal mixed with water. Cook for another ten minutes.

This fall turned out to be a great season for colours in Saskatchewan. We were a bit worried to begin with because of the severe drought through most of the province, putting a lot of stress on trees and other vegetation. But come September the different hues began to pop. Usually autumn brings a sea of yellow and gold from our deciduous trees such as aspen and birch, but this fall we've noticed that a lot of trees had an orange tinge plus the reds seemed to more vibrant as well.
Most of our fall colour photography this year was close to home, especially in the Thickwood Hills, but we also traveled to the near north around Prince Albert National Park and the lakelands, and parts of eastern Saskatchewan along the Hanson Lake Road, Woody Lake Road and Duck Mountain Provincial Park. Here are some of our favourite shots from the past few weeks.

Blogger Spotlight: Laura Agar Wilson, Wholeheartedly Healthy
Laura Agar Wilson knows all too well of the struggles of trying to stay fit and healthy which is why she decided to create her blog Wholeheartedly Healthy. Described as a blog for serial dieters, Laura shows women that there is a more holistic path towards becoming healthy which doesn't involve obsessively counting calories and beating yourself up for having a slice of cake. In this Spotlight Laura chats to us about what makes her relatable to her audience, meeting Gok Wan, and why PRs need to value what bloggers bring to the table.
What made you start writing your blog? I started my blog to share the journey that I was on, I was trying to take off weight and it was a way of motivating and keeping me focused. None of my friends were interested in losing weight, so blogging was a way of feeling that connection to other people as well. And it was so refreshing to find a community online who understood what I was going through and what I was trying to achieve.
What's new on your blog? I'd say that there is more content around how our external environment impacts our wellbeing. So, I'm starting to speak a lot about how to create the right environment around us whether that be at work or at home and the huge difference that it can make.
Why should people read your blog? What makes it different? I think people should read my blog because it offers health and wellbeing tips that are realistic and down to earth. I'm not saying that other bloggers aren't relatable but I've got a little boy so everything that I blog about is very real. I don't have a morning when I can just pop to a yoga class and go my local juice bar so my version of health and wellbeing is just a lot more down to earth. I hope that by sharing what really works for me that people will feel inspired to live more healthy lives. When people read my blog they see that I am a mother of a young child, I don't have a nanny or a personal trainer but I still manage to juggle things, and I think that's what makes me relatable to my audience, they look at me and they think oh I could do that as well.
How do you measure your success? I actively track the traffic on my blog and the following I have on social media, but that can go up and down depending on what's going on. So I measure success by whether people are engaging with my content. Getting feedback is always good too and being approached by different company's to work on a campaign because I am doing this as a full-time gig now so generating the income from my blogging is vitally important.
What has been your blogging highlight? Meeting Gok Wan, he's such a lovely man. I was on a show of his that was filmed for his Youtube channel. It was a campaign about feeling good from within. And when my first book 'Grains As Mains' got published that was a big highlight and I'm also busy writing another book but with a different publisher.
How do you like to work with PRs? Sometimes they'll email me directly and they'll say this is what we want to do, or we want to take this approach. The best way I like it is when they come to me with an idea or come and ask me how I would like to develop it. I like it when they ask me what are my ideas, how do you think it will work with your blog and your audience. I won't share anything on my blog that isn't going to be of interest to my audience so its need to be good content as well.
What can PRs do to work better with you? It's about knowing that there are costs, a lot of bloggers now do this as a business and I think the biggest thing they can do is come to the table with an understanding that we are legitimate methods of marketing for them and that there are costs involved with that, so they shouldn't come with the expectation that we should write for free. You get that quite a lot as a blogger, and I think just PRs need to respect that we do have massive reach, were able to reach a massive amount of people and even those who don't have a massive number of followers still have really good relationships with the people who do follow them and are much more likely to act upon a recommendation than if it was mentioned in a magazine. So, I think it's about knowing how bloggers work and understanding that there is PR and marketing in it for them as well.
Bloggers not only have the reach of big audiences but also good quality relationships and that enriches the content they produce. People really do value what bloggers have to say. For instance, if a blogger recommends certain makeup products and I trust that person then I'm much more likely to make that decision to purchase it, so I think it's about PRs having that awareness. Bloggers have to work very hard, in terms of building the relationships with their followers and creating consistent content, they spend many years before they get to that point. I believe that this comes with the value of what they're offering and they should be paid for that.
What will be big in the blogsphere in the coming months? I offer e-courses, so that's something I want to develop. I want to develop an e-course around self-care, and also go and do a bit of promotion. I want to focus more getting better recipes on my blog. Yes, I'd definitely like to create more visual content. It's something I've dabbled in but now it's definitely something I can start doing.

Barry Manilow Comes Out as Gay
Barry Manilow has revealed he's gay at the age of 73, while at the same time officially introducing fans to his husband, Garry Kief, who Manilow has been in a relationship with for 39 years. Legendary singer-songwriter Barry Manilow opened up about his sexuality for the first time, confirming a three-year marriage to husband Garry Kief. The Grammy winner opted not to come out as gay earlier in his career because he was concerned about how his fans would react. "I thought I would be disappointing them if they knew I was gay, so I never did anything," he said. Rumors have always questioned Manilow's sexuality. In 2015, longtime pal Suzanne Somers told Andy Cohen in an interview that she had been the best man at Manilow and Kief's wedding, even though Manilow had never addressed the media speculation over his private life. What Somers's revelation brought about was "a blessing and a curse," Manilow told People magazine. Fortunately, his fans didn't mind at all. "When they found out that Garry and I were together, they were so happy," he said. "The reaction was so beautiful — strangers commenting, 'Great for you!' I'm just so grateful for it."
Before meeting his now-husband, Manilow was previously married to Susan Deixler and revealed that while he was in love with her, he just "was not ready for marriage". Kief became his manager shortly after the pair met in 1978. "He's the smartest person I've ever met in my life — and a great guy, too," the superstar said. He went to note that he "knew that this was it" after meeting Kief. "I was pretty lonely before that," he said. The pair were married at their 53-acre estate in Palm Springs in 2014. Manilow did admit it wasn't always smooth-sailing for the pair early on in their relationship. The realities of being involved with a celebrity soon became clear. "I got into the car with him, and the fans were rocking the car," Manilow recalls. "He was like, 'I can't handle this. It's not for me.' I'm glad he stayed."
Will Manilow Be Comfortable in His New Public Gay Persona?
Susan Z' Conclusion:
Ace of Pentacles: Inverted (Upside Down)
This card represents gain in wealth, fame and fortune. As it is inverted, it confirms Barry's concern that he would lose his fan base if he came out as gay but most importantly to him was the financial loss he feared. With this card, it usually means living an opulent lifestyle.
Seven of Wands:
The card represents his challenge to make a stand for his lifestyle. I believe that more and more he felt as though he was not living in his integrity and struggled what to do. Age sometimes give you the attitude of "what the heck, I don't have anything to prove anymore". As his close friends and associates were all aware he was gay, he felt it was time for his fans to know also.
Five of Swords: Inverted
This card is what I call the "wuss" card and represents being taken advantage of and/or of weak character. It is inverted so this shows his decision to make the public announcement he is gay now at 73 shows the need of wanting to be liked and easily influenced by others. I feel he will be relatively comfortable from this point on with everyone now knowing he is gay and happily married.

Looking back on your time at UNH so far, what are you most proud of and why?
I am most proud of how hard I have pushed myself to to grow and succeed in college and in my personal life so that I can be successful and independent once I graduate.

Thinking about what kind of future I want and what I need to do in order to get there as well as making my parents and family proud of me.
Why did you choose your major?
I chose this major because I was I wanted to do something with healthcare but I didn't want to be clinical so this was the perfect fit.
What are you planning to do after graduation?
After graduation I plan on further working on my startup company called Mind Body Soul Boxes as well as opening an Herbalife club.
How is your experience at UNH preparing you to achieve your goals?
UNH has helped me find many connections with people professionally as well as personally who want to help me achieve all of my goals as well as provide all of the resources for me to make them happen.
Any advice for students interested in your major?

1. Colour-coded for your convenience!
New Pig absorbents come in many eye-catching colours! But these colours
aren't just for fashion. The colour of each product lets us know what they can do!
2. Absorbents come in many form factors!
No two spills are alike, and there's an absorbent form factor for every type of spill.
Here's how to use each absorbent to max capacity!
Often, people underestimate the amount of liquid that absorbents can take! So
they replace the mat or sock as soon as it looks full. But often, a sock or mat that
looks thoroughly drenched can take more!
You only need to replace your absorbent when liquid is pooling around the edges
of the mat. For socks, replace it if the spill begins to leak past the sock.
Keep your spill kits handy!
When a spill happens, every second is precious! The longer it takes to access
your spill control measures, the more mess happens. And for spills involving
dangerous chemicals, the higher the chance of serious damage or injury.
Keep your employees trained and keep spill kits in close proximity to areas with
high spill risks. Prevention is better than cure, but keeping the cure close by is
the second best thing.

Automatic Driving Lessons
If you're keen to master driving and obtain your license sooner, our automatic driving lessons may be the perfect solution for you. With no gears to manage, automatic vehicles are easier to learn in and often enable learners to perfect their driving and pass their test quicker than manual vehicles.
Automatic Driving Lessons – the benefits
Automatic cars are far easier to learn to drive in; no panicking over what gear you should be in and when and no fear of stallings allows you to concentrate better on the driving itself. With no clutch pedal, automatic cars simply require the driver to move the gear selector into 'Drive' before moving away, making the process far simpler than manual tuition. With fewer lessons with our driving instructors, you can pay full attention to what's happening on the road without the added thinking time driving a manual transmission car requires.
If you think automatic driving lessons may be the best fit for you, simply contact us today to discuss booking your lessons. We have experienced instructors available to Grimsby, Scunthorpe, Louth, and the surrounding areas. (Check with us to see if your area is covered for automatic?)

German-Ukrainian Relations in Historical Perspective
In stock (can be backordered)
The encounters between Germans and Ukrainians in the twentieth century have taken place primarily against the background of great violence. In the course of the world wars Germany twice occupied Ukraine, each time provoking both resistance and collaboration. This volume brings together the leading authorities in Ukrainian studies in North America, both historians and political scientists, and eminent German and Austrian scholars, experts in the history of Eastern Europe and German foreign policy, to explore the dramatic history of Ukrainian-German relations.
Chapters include:
- An Episode from German-Ukrainian Scholarly Contacts: Dietrich Christoph von Rommel;
- German Colonists in Southern Ukraine up to the Repeal of the Colonial Statute;
- German Culture and the National Awakening in Western Ukraine before the Revolution of 1848;
- Ukrainians and Germans in Southern Ukraine, 1870s to 1914;
- Hetman Pavlo Skoropadsky and Germany (1917-18) as Reflected in His Memoirs;
- Germany's Ukrainian Policy during World War I and the Revolution of 1918-19;
- German Colonization Plans in Ukraine during World Wars I and II;
- Soviet Ukraine and Germany, 1920-39;
- The New Agrarian Order in Ukraine, 1941-2, Sources and Considerations;
- Ukrainians in the Armed Forces of the Reich: The 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS;
- The Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) and the German Authorities;
- OUN-German Relations, 1941-4;
- Ukraine: Colony or Partner?
- Germany, Western Europe; and, Ukraine after World War II.
The German occupation of Ukraine during the First World War is the subject of two contributions: Peter Borowsky examines the aims of German policy in Ukraine from the perspective of the German military and diplomatic apparatus, while Jaroslaw Pelenski looks at the German occupation from the Ukrainian side, using the diary of Hetman Pavlo Skoropadsky to tease out the nuances of the relationship between the hetman and his German patrons. Four articles discuss key aspects of the Second World War: Ralf Bartoleit contributes a pioneering look at German agrarian policy in the Reichskommissariat Ukraine; Wolfdieter Bihl uses archival documentation to analyze the formation of the Waffen SS Division Galizien, comprised of Ukrainian volunteers; Peter J. Potichnyj documents the attitude of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) toward the German military and occupation authorities; and Taras Hunczak discusses relations between the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists and the Germans in 1941-5. Linking the articles on the two world wars is Ihor Kamenetsky's study of German colonization plans during both.
But the book is not limited to the themes of war and occupation. Cultural relations in the early nineteenth century are the subject of articles by Edgar Hösch and John-Paul Himka. Ethnic German communities in Ukraine from the end of the eighteenth century to the First World War are surveyed by Detlef Brandes and Andreas Kappeler. Diplomatic relations between Germany and Ukraine from 1920 through 1992 are studied by Bohdan Krawchenko and Yaroslav Bilinsky. And the "grand old man" of Ukrainian studies in the West, John A. Armstrong, offers an incisive essay ranging over the past, present, and future of the Ukrainian-German relationship, entitled: "Ukraine: Colony or Partner?"
This is one of the volumes on Ukraine and its neighbours published by the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies Press. Other volumes deal with Jewish-Ukrainian (Ukrainian-Jewish Relations in Historical Perspective), Polish-Ukrainian (Poland and Ukraine: Past and Present), and Russian-Ukrainian (Culture, Nation and Identity: The Ukrainian-Russian Encounter [1600–1945]), and Armenian-Ukrainian (Armenian-Ukrainian Historical Contacts) relations.

And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. (Ephesians 6:17)
The last piece of armor noted is the sword of the Spirit. So we should be wielding the Spirit as an offensive weapon to attack the plans of the enemy, right?
Not quite.
Paul tells us that the sword of the Spirit is the word of G-d. The phrase "of the Spirit" appears to describe ownership of the sword rather than an attribute of the sword. The book of Hebrews tells us about this sword:
For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12)
Revelation again provides some connections between the Word of G-d and a sword:
In His right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword; and His face was like the sun shining in its strength. (Revelation 1:16)
While all things are possible for G-d, it is unlikely that He meant He would have a two-edged stainless steel sword literally coming out of His mouth. The blade probably wouldn't be much of a problem, but the guard would likely be too big. :) OK, seriously... out of mouths comes forth speech and words. In this case, the Word. Messiah says in the next chapter:
Therefore repent; or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of My mouth. (Revelation 2:16)
The sword of His mouth is His Word, and it is sharper than any two-edged sword.
Let's go back to our priestly example.
This picture shows our priest completely unarmed. No sword appears to be present. Or is it?
The sword spoken of is a sword for spiritual battles. Paul told us that at the beginning of this passage regarding armor (Ephesians 6:12). The sword is the Word of G-d. Where should we carry that Word? We should always have our Bibles with us, right?
Not quite.
The Psalmist tells us in Psalm 119:11 "Your word I have hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you."
Romans 10:8 (quoting Deuteronomy 30:14) tells us "The Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart..."
Most importantly: when Scripture describes the "New Covenant" in Hebrews 10:16 (quoting Jeremiah 31:31-33) we find this-
"THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THEM AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD: I WILL PUT MY LAWS UPON THEIR HEART, AND ON THEIR MIND I WILL WRITE THEM," He then says, "AND THEIR SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE." (Hebrews 10:16-17)
As members of this New Covenant, G-d has given us a Spiritual "concealed carry" license. He has written His Law upon our hearts and our minds. We are armed for battle, and the Holy Spirit brings to mind all the things which Messiah spoke (John 14:26).
Oh, yes, we are definitely armed.

As circularity is slowly making its way into the fashion industry, compostable materials are becoming more common for a growing number of designers looking to weave sustainability into their products.
One of the latest such products is the result of a partnership between New York streetwear brand Public School and material scientists Theanne Schiros, who have come together to create a pair of bio-fabricated trainers using a leather alternative grown by microbes.
Apart from the sole, which is made out of a cork sheet, the entire shoe, including the upper, midsole, and laces, is produced from a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY). Using a similar fermentation process to that used for making kombucha tea, the SCOBY creates a leather alternative that has up to a 97 percent lower carbon footprint than synthetic polyurethane leather.
To create the trainer's bio-fabricated leather, Schiros made use of waste SCOBY from local kombucha brewery Om Champagne Tea in Westchester County, New York. The SCOBY was then placed into a base of sweetened tea, where it turns the sugar into bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) as part of the fermentation process.
As explained by Dezeen, BNC ranks better in elasticity and strength than the cellulose that is commonly derived from wood pulp or cotton and is further processed using a plant-based tanning and dyeing process to make it look and feel like actual leather.
What's particularly impressive about the footwear is that, while the bio-leather has a lifespan of several years, it would take only a couple of months for it to biodegrade in a backyard compost heap.
"Enzymes produced by soil microbes break down the nanocellulose. Unless buried in a microbe-rich environment, the bio-leather maintains its durability and performance aside from normal wear and tear, comparable to canvas and leather," said Schiros.

Greyhound Racing Tips For Wednesday 18th November 2009
The regular meetings are all arse about due to the Great Chase Series regional semi finals, which GRV decided for some queer reason all needed to be run today, leaving us with the normal Wednesday non-penalty meeting running in the night time slot. Unfortunately five of the twelve races have been set aside for some very ordinary maidens, so don't expect too much and you won't be disappointed.
If you haven't jumped on the bandwagon yet get yourself set up with an account at Sportsbet. By using the Sportsbet Promo Code 27110 you can get yourself up to $200 in free bets just by opening a new account.
With racing coming at us from The Meadows (Victoria), Geelong (Victoria), The Gardens (New South Wales), Ipswich (Queensland) and Cannington (West Australia), lets review our betting advice for those tracks.
The Meadows races over the 525m, 600m and less frequently the 725m distances and the track definitely favours railers; it is almost impossible to make ground once you get wide on the track at The Meadows. The inside 3 boxes are favoured over the 525m, and the inside 4 boxes over the 600m. The outside boxes are a decided disadvantage over the both the shorter distances.
Geelong is considered to be a safe punting track especially over the 457m distance. The 347m starts are usually plagued by interference and terrible betting races, box 1 is an advantage and box 3 has a good record of this trip. The few 600m races run can produce good results but the short run to 1st corner has caused more than one betting plunge to go astray and does give an advantage to the box 1 runner. Over the 457m boxes 1 and 8 both share favouritism with the next most preferred draw box 7.
The Gardens is one of New South Wales' newest tracks and now the sole home of the NSW NCA. The track strongly favours early speed dogs but the 413m races should be avoided at all costs as they are decided more by interference than ability.The 515m races are worth betting on but the inside 3 boxes are all favoured and even good dogs will find it hard to cross from wide draws. The 600m trip, being a corner, start can often pose a difficult greyhound betting option and the inside box is a huge advantage. Few races are run over the 715m journey.
Ipswich can be a punters graveyard and as a general rule punters avoid investing in the 431m races unless you are laying them on Betfair, as the corner starts throws up many unlikely winners and lots of interference. If you must bet on these races, box 1 wins almost twice as many races as every other box with the exception of the second best box, box 2. The 520m races are a little more even, but have a decided bias toward the four inside boxes due to the short run to the corner and even class greyhounds find it hard to win from wide boxes. The 630m races are another corner start.
Cannington is one of the better two tracks which does tend to give greyhounds off the speed a chance to run on. Both the 530m, and 642m distances favour the inside boxes and the 1 box has a slight advantage over the 715m distance. The 297m races,starting at the top of the back straight, runs reasonably fairly, although box 1 is an advantage. The four inside boxes are advantaged over the 530m, the three inside boxes over the 642m and the 715m races reasonably evenly.
The Meadows Greyhounds – Race 7 – Box 3 – Freddie Bale
Don't expect much odds but the only bet we can find on the whole program that looks like it is a better then even chance of getting past the post is Freddie Bale. Trained by the Dailly's, this son of Surf Lorian has won 3 of his 4 starts so far, all at The Meadows where he has a PB of 30.35. Isn't brilliant early but is quick enough to be at or near the lead from box 2 and should be able to make it 4 from 5.
Geelong Greyhounds – Race 5 – Box 1 – Spida Deeds
Spida Deeds looks like being one of the best greyhounds from the Warrnambool region in some time. Won her maiden in a fast 25.57 on debut and then had no luck in a 5th grade at Horsham. Then bounced straight back to form, winning well in the heats of this race at Warrnambool from box 3 in 25.38 and with the rails draw should be able to set up a handy lead early and prove too good.
Geelong Greyhounds – Race 7 – Box 2 – General View
The John Galea trained General View was beaten on merit last start at Ballarat after slightly missing it from box 3, but has won 4 of 7 starts and is more than handy. Returns to box 2 tonight and shouldn't have as much trouble finding the front. Record is flattering but at the odds is a good risk.
Geelong Greyhounds – Race 8 – Box 8 – Shakey Bakey
If Shakey Bakey had any other draw we wouldn't even be considering him, but the winner of 3 of 8 starts has won them all from wide draws, including 2 from box 8. Has started here twice for 1 win and is capable of improving rapidly from a last start 6th here given the box draw. PB of 25.80 is only average but the box draw brings this son of Brett Lee ~ Leprechaun Flee right in to it.
The Gardens Greyhounds – Race 8 – Box 6 – Eau Sauvage
Nothing special about the price, but we couldn't find another single greyhound in the whole meeting worthy of our money, once we put the pen through the terrible 413m starts. Eau Savauge has won his last three in a row and is from the good producing Tarawi Tess damline. Overall career reads 12 from 25 starts, but The Gardens record is 3 from 5. Has early pace and can come from behind, just looks past the post.
Ipswich Greyhounds – Race 8 – Box 5 – Lillyarna
Surf Lorian bitch Lillyarna looks a good bet in this 5th grade final. Has started here at Ipswich 6 times for 4 wins and a 3rd, and was very impressive at her first 520m start here winning in 30.78. Led easily then and fell in but shold be further improved by the run and expect a stronger finish today after leading.

Nowadays, times have changed when it comes to physician employment and career decisions. More and more physicians are going for the employment route, and private practice physicians are dwindling as we speak. In fact, most doctors who are under 40 years old choose to be employed rather than have their own practice, although most doctors who are over 40 still choose to practice on their own. But if you are looking to hire a physician for your medical or healthcare facility, you should know what to look for when it comes to the proper qualities. It doesn't make sense to hire a physician just because they are skilled and qualified to find out later on that they weren't the right fit for the job due to certain negative characteristics or qualities. Here are the most important qualities you should look for when planning to hire a physician.
As an employer, you should certainly be looking for someone who is qualified. But many employers today are looking at a combination of qualifications and the ability to listen and communicate as well. Your physician's listening and communication skills are important, more so today when many patients are more savvy and knowledgeable. Look for a doctor who can listen to their patients, invest in their patients' health, and knows how to properly communicate with their patients about their condition and the treatment or care they need.
Good qualifications and credentials are one thing; good recommendations are another. When hiring a physician, look for one which can provide you with good recommendations – and take the time to confirm those recommendations by giving the former peer or boss a call.
The healthcare industry constantly goes through changes, and these changes can be as simple as new recruits or as complex as new systems. Look for a doctor who shows flexibility and a willingness to adhere to change, whether it's the above-mentioned changes in colleagues or teammates or changes in hospital or organizational policy, changes in schedule, or changes in the volume of patients.
In conclusion
In conclusion, what you should be looking for is a doctor who has the perfect combination of qualities: the right credentials and good, solid experience, the proper abilities when it comes to procedural processes, the right skills in customer service, and the right temperament. In order to make it easier to find the candidate with all these characteristics, you can always turn to a physician recruiter company which has been specializing in physician recruitment for years – they can definitely point you in the right direction.

NCP Dispute
Published On: November 19, 2020 03:05 PM NPT By: Kosh Raj Koirala | @KoshRKoirala
KATHMANDU, Nov 19: Giving a new twist to the intraparty conflict, chairman of the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) KP Oli, who is also the prime minister, has said that Executive Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal should resign from his position if the allegations he has made against Oli in a political paper presented at the Secretariat meeting are proved wrong.
In his speech at the Secretariat meeting on Wednesday, Chairman Oli also clarified that he will resign from the post if the allegations against him are proved true. Oli was responding to a political paper that Dahal submitted in the party's Secretariat meeting.
The political paper submitted by Dahal has the support of senior leader Madhav Kumar Nepal, Narayan Kaji Shrestha, Bam Dev Gautam and Jhala Nath Khanal. The political paper has raised questions about Oli's working styles and involvement in corruption and irregularities.
However, the Oli-led faction in the party has alleged that the documents distributed as a political paper among Secretariat members is just an 'allegation paper'. Although Oli initially insisted that he would participate in the Secretariat meeting only after the political paper was withdrawn, he had eventually decided to take part in the meeting.
Addressing the meeting, Oli has demanded 10 days to respond to the allegations made in the political paper submitted by Dahal. "I have not yet prepared a response to this. Next meeting can be held only to simply hold discussion or to settle [these allegations] it," he said. "If this is proved true one has to step down. If this is proved wrong, another has to step down."
Prime Minister Oli has also argued that none of the Secretariat members who supported Dahal's political paper can stay in the position if the allegations are proved wrong. The remarks came shortly after the party's General Secretary Bishnu Paudel, who is also considered close to Prime Minister Oli, proposed all Secretariat members resign en masse as they had all failed to give direction to the party.
Prime Minister Oli has taken strong exception to the demands put forth by the rival faction leaders in the party to step down from the posts of both prime minister and the party's chairman. "What happens if I similarly asked the other chairman to step down? What happens to the procedures and system and organizational principles?" Oli has asked. "I want you to give consideration to this as well since this will create a new environment if I asked [the other chairman] to step down."
Dahal presented the political paper in the party's Secretariat meeting last Friday with the support of five of the total of nine Secretariat members. Arguing that the political paper had been introduced unilaterally by one of the two chairmen, Oli faction leaders maintained that it is not possible to hold discussion on the paper in the Secretariat meeting.
Addressing the Secretariat meeting on Wednesday, Chairman Oli insisted that one chairman cannot introduce a political paper without giving notice to the other chairman. He also argued that the political paper presented by Chairman Dahal "in a unilateral manner" marks the end of the past agreements reached during the unification of the erstwhile CPN (UML) and CPN (Maoist Center).
Party insiders say the statement of Oli shows that the intraparty dispute within the ruling NCP has already reached its climax. If the second-rung leaders did not make any intervention to introduce a joint political paper of Dahal and Oli in the next Secretariat meeting scheduled for November 28, Chairman Oli is likely to unilaterally announce the end of the unity forged between the erstwhile UML and the Maoist Center on the eve of parliamentary election back in 2017.
Stating that he was prepared to face any consequences, Prime Minister Oli also asked his colleagues to make a choice of their path ahead. "I have come here facing jails, beatings and all kinds of torture. I have withstood lathis, boots and shoes to reach here. If I was able to face all those things, there is no difficulty for me to face any kinds of circumstances that are against me. The presenter of that letter and the friends behind this should make a choice which way they would want to go," he said.

Type 1 Diabetes Biomarkers:
These biomarkers may potentially provide the first-ever immune cell-based diagnostic tool in T1DM autoimmunity. Currently, the presence of T1DM autoimmunity can be diagnosed in patients with the clinical disease and in pre-diabetics using serum antibodies. However, these serum antibodies are only able to assess the overall risk for developing the clinical disease, not at the level of an individual. These novel biomarkers are to detect and monitor the level of autoimmunity which is different from person to person and even in the same person fluctuate over time, thus enabling us to provide individualised assessment, prognosis and diagnosis. In pre-diabetics, these tests will predict the time when the individual subject gets the clinical disease. In T1DM patients, it will predict the time when they will run out of their own insulin production and become full-blown diabetics. Furthermore, these are also novel tools that could also be built into future diabetes clinical trials to monitor the effectiveness of prevention and intervention clinical trials reducing the patients' exposure, money and time.
This diagnostic modality will undergo further validation during our clinical trial.

Superman III: It's Not A Bird, A Plane or Even a Real Superman Movie, It's a Richard Pryor Comedy
Man of Steel opens in just a few weeks. I hope it has a sense of humor. Richard Lester, the director of Beatle comedies and The Three Musketeers movies, took over as director and turned the third entry into a squeaky clean but comic book dark Richard Pryor vehicle.
When I first saw Superman III, I didn't care that it broke from the comic book lore. I didn't care that it was supposed to be the kryptonite that finally killed the man of steel. It had Richard Pryor in it. That's what I cared about. I was a Pryor fan since I was six and saw him do "Rumpelstilskin" on The Flip Wilson Show. I don't think I noticed at the time that the director was Richard Lester, one of my favorites. I'd seen everything of his since he directed the first two Beatle films, A Hard Day's Night and Help. He also directed John Lennon in the anti-war, anti-military comedy How I Won the War and one of my favorite comedies from the seventies, The Ritz. Richard Pryor in a Richard Lester film. And it had the Man from U.N.C.L.E. to boot. Fuck Superman. This, of course, was at the time when Christopher Reeve was healthy, young and alive. But still, fuck Superman with a tall building and a locomotive.
Richard Lester took over the Superman franchise for the sequel, Superman II, which a lot of us watched for Kryptonian supervillianess Ursa, after Richard Donner (lot of Richards) was fired. Superman III was pure Lester. Except he didn't use his steady stock player, Roy Kinnear, and the film loses some Lester magic because of it. Superman suffers the fame fate the Beatles did in Help. He becomes second banana to the gags. In III, Superman is a character in a Richard Lester comedy starring Richard Pryor.
Christopher Reeve saw this at the time and it bothered him. He knew he was co-starring in a Richard Pryor comedy and thought he only got one good scene, where Supes takes on Clark Kent in the junkyard. Reeve didn't want to see Pryor ski down a Metropolis high-rise in a pink tablecloth cape. He missed the Donner party. Reeve is fun, a little good, a little bad. He gets to play dark. Not that dark, but dark enough for a superhero in a kids' comedy. Superman gets corrupted and a little something on the side with an air-head trophy blonde who reads Kant. (The man of steel doesn't need champagne to get in the mood. Later he tells her that was some other guy. If Lester made Superman IV, Superman would have been fighting a paternity suit.) But he never loses that comic book curl, right in the middle of his forehead. When he is bad, he is horrid, even committing the ultimate evil, ecological disaster when he causes an oil spill in the middle of the Atlantic. When Superman goes bad, even his cape goes dark. What a maroon.
As Gus Gorman, Richard Pryor gives us hints at a lot of his standup characters. His Pentagon colonel could break into the old spiritual "We Will See" at any moment. His reactions to Robert Vaughan come straight out of his "Rumpelstilskin" routine. Three years after his infamous flaming rum sprint, Pryor is the only actor allowed to smoke in a Supermanmovie. Though, I don't think I saw it lit, he must have been to do two family pictures in a row. He was fresh off getting high on park benches with Jackie Gleason making The Toy. Pryor was getting big bucks to tone down his Pryor-ness and this led to a $40 million, five-year contract with Columbia Pictures as long as he drank their formulas. He'd go on to make Brewster's Millions, Stir Crazy, Moving, and See No Evil, Hear No Evil for Columbia.
"I asked you to kill Superman and you couldn't even do that simple thing." Robert Vaughan has fun as the comic book super-villain Ross Webster. He gets to be as over-the-top as he wants as these wonderful, terrible lines come out of his mouth. Vaughn is best known as Napoleon Solo from the 1960s TV spy series The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Vaughn played a gunslinger that lost the touch in The Magnificent Seven and was nominated for Best Supporting Actor Oscar for The Young Philadelphians in 1959. Vaughn did the voice for the evil computer Proteus IV in Demon Seed. He also ordered people around in Chud II. Vaughn was the first popular American actor to come out in public against the Vietnam War.
Margot Kidder basically does a cameo in Superman III. Lois Lane has to get out of the way so Nice guy Clark Kent and nice girl Lana Lang can get together, though I don't buy it. And whose kid is it again? Kidder is renowned as the neighbor in the bushes, those bipolar tendencies might have informed her starring role as both conjoined twins in Brian DePalma's cult classic Sisters in 1973. Kidder overcame a guest star-turn in the early seventies George Peppard detective TV vehicle Banacek to play Zazel Pierce opposite Gene Wilder in Quackser Fortune Has a Cousin in the Bronx, The Great Waldo Pepper with Robert Redford and the classic horror film Black Christmas before picking up Lois Lane's notebook.
Once you go Krypton, you never go back. Annette O'Toole plays Lana Lang in Superman III. She remained loyal to the franchise as Superman's mom Martha Kent in TV's Smallville. O'Toole auditioned for her film debut in the satire Smile by doing an impression of a dead cockroach. Before Superman III, O'Toole tutored Robby Benson, who dribbled before he shot, in One on One; did some Foolin' Around with Gary Busey; busted Nick Nolte's balls in 48 Hours and played country music icon Tammy Wynette in the TV movie Stand By Your Man. O'Toole also played Alice Perrin in the cult horror classic remake, Cat People, which incestuously paired Nastassja Kinski and Malcolm McDowell.
Jackie Cooper plays Perry White, the editor of the Daily Planet and Superman's boss. Cooper had been acting since forever. We can prove he was at it since he was a kid. He was Jackie in the Hal Roach "Our Gang" comedies starting with Boxing Gloves in 1929. He was the youngest performer to be nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for his role in 1931's Skippy when he was 9. Cooper acted consistently and went on to win Emmys for directing episodes of M*A*S*H and The White Shadow.
Marc McClure plays junior photographer Jimmy Olsen. He's played Olsen in all the Superman films and in the infamous Supergirl, which got Peter O'Toole and Faye Dunaway Golden Raspberry nominations for worst acting, though her campy turn as the evil witch was kind of a turn on. McClure would later show up as Dax-Ur, a scientist from Krypton, the CW's Smallville. McClure played Dave McFly in Back to the Future and Back to the Future Part III. He played in Robert Zemeckis' 1978 Beatlemania comedy, I Wanna Hold Your Hand. Gavan O'Herlihy, the guy that played Richie Cunningham's absentee brother in Happy Days was Annette O'Toole's stalker Brad Wilson.
Superman III opens on an unemployment line, to show the teeming Metropolis has its share of real-world problems. The chronically unemployed Richard Pryor is flipping and dipping a yo-yo behind the yellow line until he's told he's no longer eligible for unemployment. Pryor grubs a smoke and gets the idea for an ideal job that requires no skill, computers. Lester's camera plays the old familiar comedy tricks against trademark reactions. The scene cuts to a long and very involved slapstick sequence involving a blind man with a street painting machine and some exploding penguins to show Superman as the lone straight man in the running gag of Metropolis' world of comedic chaos. Lester drops the traditional Superman "It Came from Outer Space" opening to remind us that this is a comedy, in case you missed Richard Pryor a few minutes ago. Lester even lets Supe do a pie-in-the-face take. He later borrows James Cagney's grapefruit-in-the-face gag and lets Superman hit Pryor in the groin with a car door. Fans were particularly upset at the opening though a cosmic ballet does have its own slapstick possibilities.
Lois Lane jets off to Bermuda in a hot purple string bikini. Jimmy Olsen sleeps with his camera, taking advantage of the telescopic lens, I'm sure. Superman is free to look up some old girlfriends. Another hallmark of Lester films is his history. Smallville High School reunion dancers get to twist to the Beatles doing Chuck Berry's "Roll Over Beethoven." At the time, The Beatles still controlled a lot of what happened to their music and wouldn't let their music be used commercially, but for their little Richard, he could use it. The next song the reunion gets is the Penguins' "Earth Angel," one of the first rock and roll songs heard by teenagers on the east coast.
Office computers know where all the half-cents go when they disappear from payroll and Gus Gorman knows how to talk to computers and get them to do what he wants. He's an early screen hacker, one of the first. Bad deeds have their own rewards. Gus' antics catch the eye of the Ross Webster, the born-rich evil capitalist super villain who's never worn the same socks twice. He gets his personal motto from Attila the Hun, "it's not enough that I succeed, everyone else must fail." Gus Gorman goes from complete and utter moron in a red sports car to a naught genius in the turn of a rotating bar. With a psychic nutritionist as his witness, Gus agrees to help the evil capitalist in order to save himself from jail where there are "robbers and rapists and rapists who rape robbers."
Superman always gets there in the nick of time. He can leisurely stroll in to save Jimmy Olsen, X-ray him and give a diagnosis just to let the tension mount before he saves the day with semi-seconds to spare. At one point he saves Vicky's son from a horrible What's the Matter With Helen? flashback. (See What's the Matter With Helen?Just see it.) The lousy do-gooder has a personality crisis and announces he's getting out of the nice guy business by embarking on a rage of global sight gags, like straightening the leaning tower of Pisa and blowing out the Olympic torch and the world goes to hell. Ah, don't beat yourself up, Supie. It happens to the best superheroes. Usually every other movie. But Lester did it first. When Supe got crushed in the compactor I wondered how much you get per pound of Superman at the New York Scrap Exchange. Gorman's supercomputer analyzes Superman and draws him as the original comic book image. That's computer graphics. Superman beats Vaughan in a game of Space Invaders.
Maybe it's Superman sacrilege to say it, but Superman IIIwas the top of the franchise for me for the very things that bother Supe fans: Richard Lester and Richard Pryor. But hey, it's a comedy with too many gags and Superman gets laid.

Pack visit to Fir Tree Falconry
9th July 2015
Fir Tree Falconry
Twenty two Cubs with four Leaders turned up for this evening at Fir Tree Farm on a beautiful warm sunny evening, which made ideal conditions to watch a short flying display conducted by Dian Saunders, the owner of the Falconry.
Kasper the Kestral and Deano the Great Grey Owl were two of the birds of prey who flew for us with Dian, at the same time, telling us interesting facts about the birds and their flying.
The Cubs were then split into two groups where one group met a little owl called Mr Grumpy and each Cub and Leader were able to hold him on a gloved hand while again, Dian told us some more interesting facts about Mr Grumpy and owls in general.
Meanwhile, Dian's husband Shaun was giving the other group a guided tour of the Falconry where they met and learnt about the various birds of prey from around the world. The groups then swapped over so everyone could handle Mr Grumpy and tour the Falconry.
Before too long our visit was over but Dian and Shaun had both made us very welcome, told us so many interesting facts about the birds of prey and answered many questions from the Cubs. All in all a very enjoyable and informative Pack evening.

Learn from the things that are already in the place where you wish you were not. – Padraig O'Tuama in The Shelter, (p.9)
A dead lightbulb has been sitting on our kitchen island for more than a week. Before that, it was in the light fixture above our dining room table for more than a month, dead. I unscrewed it in a burst of this room is too dark and depressing, I'm going to do something about it energy. That was at least a week ago and it now sits on the kitchen island waiting for someone who's going to the store that sells the right kind of bulb to remember to take it along for comparison and finally buy a new one.
That lightbulb is driving me crazy.
That lightbulb is revealing things about the place I'm in that I would rather not know.
(Don't worry, the lightbulb isn't telling me I'm a failure, it's not that kind of bulb.)
When I listen closely, though, the lightbulb has a lot to say. It tells me there's a lot going on in my life right now. So much, that little details are certain to have to be let go. It invites me to pick my priorities, again. It helps me to see that having food on the table is a triumph in itself and one good conversation that invests in the future shines a light brighter than any bulb.
I'm in a place I don't want to be in, again. A place of many and much, a place of I didn't realize we were going to have to deal with this now, but here we are in the middle of it anyway.
Following Padraig's advice, I feel my heart muscle stretch to open to this new place, this new challenge, this here and now. Once it's open, once I accept what is, I can begin to learn. I can begin to welcome the belief that even in this place, what we need is here. And so I begin by listening to the lightbulb, by "listening to the things that are already in the place where you wish you were not."

An agreement offered by one party and accepted by another is a contract. Contracts typically take the form of written documents in Illinois, but certain oral agreements can also be considered contracts. Breach of Contract is when a contract is not fulfilled by one or more parties. In the course of business, a party might choose not to live up to its bargain, and in some situations it may even be impossible to do so. The consequences for a breach of contract are decided by the circumstances. Often, the party at fault will pay the other for the loss caused by the breach.
What If Someone Fails to Honor Their End of the Contract in Monticello
A breach of contract in Monticello normally entitles the party who fulfilled its end to recover monetary damages from the party that did not. The exact amount of these damage awards, however, is usually a subject of contention in court. Courts might be used to resolve disagreements that the parties cannot negotiate privately. In the course of the case, the courts will require that the initial complaint state the amount of damages suffered.
What If I Can
If something other than a monetary award is needed, courts in Monticello, Illinois are authorized to grant injunctions, ordering the party at fault do what it agreed. If you seek this kind of remedy, your concerns must be properly voiced to the court so that it might consider how to correct the situation. Not every breach of contract involves someone doing something wrong. Courts recognize this, and aside from the question of whether a violation of a contract truly occurred, when and how the agreement was breached are also factors in Illinois contract law.
How Can an Attorney Help?
A party must proceed cautiously in making its intentions known if a breach of contract becomes unavoidable. Statements of intent to violate a contract might be taken as wrong doing if care is not used. Awareness of Illinois law in this area becomes important under these circumstances. Monticello, Illinois When contracts are violated, the affected parties should contact an Lawyer. Delicate questions of timing can often be conclusive in contract disputes. An Lawyer practicing in contract law in the Monticello, Illinois area will know how to best proceed.

In Kansas last week, 19-year-old Aaron Coleman was declared the winner of a Democratic primary for a state House seat, defeating seven-term incumbent Stan Frownfelter by just 14 votes. At first, Coleman's seemed to be another story of a young, progressive candidate unseating an Establishment Democrat. By the end of the week, however, the story had taken a dark turn: In the immediate aftermath of the election, multiple women came forward saying Coleman viciously bullied them when they were in middle school. One says his verbal harassment led her to attempt suicide; another says he tried to extort her with a nude photo, then "sent it to everyone I knew."
On Sunday night, amid mounting backlash, the 19-year-old candidate announced his plans to withdraw from the race. Two days later, he reversed his decision, announcing that he would be staying in the race in a lengthy Twitter statement in which he neither apologized nor mentioned his victims. Instead, Coleman painted himself as a victim of "sustained attacks" from "party bosses in Topeka" and "affluent white-collar professionals on the coasts."
The Kansas City Star reported on the online-harassment claims last week. One woman, now 18, told the Star that she attempted suicide after Coleman's repeated attacks about her appearance when she was in the sixth grade. She recalls Coleman "calling me fat, telling me to kill myself, like I'm never going to find anyone, like I'm worthless, just downgrading me every day."
Another woman, Kati Hampton, now 20, said that Coleman threatened her and disseminated a nude picture of her when she was only 13. "He got one of my nudes and blackmailed me with it and told me if I didn't send him more he would (send) it to all of my friends and family," she told the Star in an email. "And when I didn't send him more, he sent it to everyone I knew. I don't know how he got the picture."
A third woman also reportedly said on Facebook that Coleman had harassed her for months, calling her family's home phone again and again until they'd pick up.
In a statement to the Star editorial board, Coleman said: "I made serious mistakes in middle school and I deeply regret and apologize for them. I've grown up a great deal since then." According to a sympathetic profile in the Intercept, Coleman "reached out to his victims from middle school to make amends, though they have not responded." But it's unclear whether he actually apologized to them — according to the Star, Coleman wrote to a relative of the woman who attempted suicide and said, "I've moved on. They call the past the past for a reason, because that's where you are supposed to leave things. At this point you shouldn't move on for me, you should move on for yourself."
On Sunday night, Coleman tweeted that he would be withdrawing from the election so he could focus on caring for his family and his father, who is ill and has been hospitalized for the past ten days. And while he reiterated that he "regret[s] his past actions" and hopes to continue to grow, Coleman also pointed fingers at what he called the "progressive circular firing squad," which he claimed "has done more to uphold the status quo than conservatives could have ever dreamed of."
He went on to call the episode "a defeat for democracy," and said that "whoever the Democrat nominee is for house district 37, it wasn't who the voters selected."
Two days later, Coleman walked back his decision. In his Twitter statement, he reiterated that his withdrawal would not be fair to the voters who had cast their ballots for him over Frownfelter. "I'm staying on the ballot, and staying in the race as the Democratic nominee," Coleman wrote.
In a follow-up statement, alongside a link to his ActBlue donation page, Coleman wrote, "I can never justify what I did to those women, and I do apologize to them from a place of remorse and shame, but words are no longer an acceptable response today." But rather than taking responsibility, he blamed his behavior on the lack of social services and human rights assured in the United States. "I believe that we have a moral obligation to provide a life of dignity to our citizens, and, I think, that with more self-respect, I would have been a better person to those women in middle school," he wrote.
He underscored this point again later, saying: "We NEED to focus on the fact that there is hopelessness amongst our young citizens, especially us men… I have the opportunities to stop others from meeting my fate."
Two opponents have mounted write-in campaigns against Coleman so far: Republican Kristina Smith and Stan Frownfelter, the Democrat Coleman defeated.
On Sunday, before Coleman announced that he would be staying in the race, Kati Hampton told the Times that she was relieved he had dropped out. "I just don't think he needs to be in a powerful position considering what he's done to girls," she said.
