You found your Samsung Galaxy A50 screen broken? Dony woory you are not alone. Many people across Australia are having the same problem. Is it because you sat on it or you just dropped your phone from a higher place? No matter what happened, you are now stuck with a cracked screen and the only thing you can do is fix it.
At the point when accident like this occurs, clients can pick between two alternatives. On the off chance that you are unpracticed, you can take your telephone to a fix store and leave the gadget in the possession of an expert professional and follow through on significant expenses. Or then again you can fix your screen on your own.
If you want to fix it yourself, the first thing you will need is to find a legitimate supplier of replacement screens. If you live in Australia, Fixo is the best solution. We have a wide array of screens for different mobile devices. All the replacement parts we have here are of great quality and look as good as original parts.
Change the display on your Samsung Galaxy A50 wholly by yourself. All you need is a Samsung Galaxy A50 DIY Replacement Kit, and some time. Follow the instructions step by step, and you will soon be able to enjoy a working display again.
1) Switch off your device
To get started turn off your A50 completely to avoid damaging it during the repair. Press the on/off button for about three seconds until "Switch off" appears then confirm it by taping on it.
2) Extract SIM & SD drawer
Take SIM extractor tool and insert it into the hole of the SIM card drawer located on the left side of the cell phone. Apply a slight weight and SIM cabinet will discharge himself.
3) Heat the back of the phone
To remove the back cover you will need a heat gun or hair dryer to soften the glue that holds it. Use a hairdryer or a heat gun to heat the back of the phone for 2 to 3 minutes to soften the glue that holds it. If you feel the resistance in the next steps do not hesitate to heat the back for a few more minutes.
4) Remove back cover
Insert the spatula between the rear window and the frame to create a slight opening and then insert a pick to take over. Gently slide the pick all the way around the rear window (Try not to stick the pick in too far because that could damage the flex cables). Now you can lift the back of the phone.
5) Remove internal chassis
Unscrew the 13 screws using the Philips screwdriver and start unclipping the internal frame form the rest of the phone by inserting spatula into the first corner. Unclip the entire top of the phone leveraging the spatula. Continue the operation on all sides of the A50.
Now you can gently separate the internal chassis from the rest of the Samsung Galaxy A50.
6) Disconnect the motherboard
Battery contact
Get the nylon spatula from the kit, and use it to disconnect the battery.
Front camera
Utilizing the nylon nylon spatula open the front camera sheet and afterward eliminate it.
Disconnect the WiFi / Bluetooth and GSM
Detach the WiFi / Bluetooth interconnect cable from the motherboard and then do the same for the GSM interconnect cable.
Disconnect charging connector and LCD tablecloth
Use your nylon spatula to unlock the connecting wire of the charging connector and LCD tablecloth.
Extract the motherboard
Use the Philips screwdriver to unscrew the yellow circled screw that is holding the motherboard to the chassis. You can now separate the motherboard from the chassis. The Samsung Galaxy A50 motherboard is partially disassembled.
7) Remove internal speaker
Use the spatula to displace and remove the internal speaker.
8) Remove the vibrator
This time use a flat screwdriver to dislodge and extract the vibrator (Spatula is too wide to use it here).
9) Heat the front
Flip your Galaxy A50 to heat the front side of the battery for a few seconds to soften the glue that holds the battery. Watch out not to heat the battery directly. Also do not overheat the center of the LCD for a long time because you may damage it.
10) Remove battery
Flip the phone again and gradually slide the flat wider spatula under the battery to take it off.
11) Remove charging connector and LCD tablecloth
Use nylon spatula to unplug and remove the connecting flat cable from the charging connector. Then do the same for the LCD tablecloth.
12) Remove the impression sensor
Disconnect the impression sensor using a spatula, and then unscrew the 2 screws circled yellow using the cruciform. Now you can remove the impression sensor with the clamp.
13) Remove 2 interconnect cables
Disconnect the GSM interconnect cable from the secondary antenna, and do the same for the WiFi / Bluetooth interconnect cable from the charging connector. When they are disconnected carefully remove them all the way through the frame with the pliers.
14) Remove charging connector
Lever it with the nylon spatula to lift and extract the charging connector
15) Remove the secondary antenna
Extract the secondary antenna with the flat screwdriver. Now your Samsung Galaxy A50 screen is completely disassembled.
16) Reassemble with the new screen
Your A50 screen is completely disassembled. Now take your new screen and reassemble your Galaxy A50 by following this guide in reverse order, and then test everything up to make sure you did everything properly.
Test everything
Congratulations, you changed your Samsung Galaxy A50 screen. Now just test a few things to make sure everything is working properly:
-Test the brightness of the display.
-Test the touchscreen, select an app, and drag it all around the display. If it is following your finger everything is fine.

Russia Has A Psychological Dossier On Trump
A number of mental health professionals have queried President Trump's psychological traits; Vladimir Putin seems to be taking the same route.
According to NBC News, a team of Putin staffers and retired diplomats have compiled a psychological dossier on the 45th president of the United States. The aim is for the Russian leader to understand how Trump thinks before the pair meet. A meeting might be possible ahead between the two world leaders before the G20 summit in July. Both leaders have spoken over the phone and expressed a seeming willingness to repair US-Russia relations which took a serious dent when Russia occupied Crimea in 2014.
A dossier on Donald Trump's psychological makeup is being prepared for Russian President Vladimir Putin https://t.co/d5hmF5aZUU pic.twitter.com/VBCpvOYWG7
— NBC News (@NBCNews) February 20, 2017
The seven-page paper paints a psychological portrait of the U.S. president and allegedly concludes that he is a risk-taker and can be naïve. Many feelers in the Kremlin view the 70-year-old billionaire president as a man who sees his job as a business. Moreover, they believe that the president does not have the spleen to implement any policy changes that he might make in Russia's favor. A former diplomat revealed that the bane of Trump's problem was that he was not listening to those with better experience and expertise.
"Trump is not living in a box—he is living in a crowd. He should listen to the people around him, especially in the areas where he is weak."
It is not unusual for a president or leader to be briefed over a counterpart before entering any form of negotiation. However, observers say the detailed dossier on Trump's mind and instincts garnered over the past three months is a different ball game entirely. Former lawmaker Sergie Markov, who remains well-connected to Moscow, says the Putin government is concerned over the incessant battles the U.S. president continues to have with the press and intelligence community.
Trump Accuses Intelligence Community Leakers Of Acting 'Just Like Russia' https://t.co/dy26rHailE pic.twitter.com/aEtdsXTx7M
— Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) February 15, 2017
U.S. intelligence agencies have insisted that Russia played a strong role in sabotaging the U.S. election process. They have not discovered any evidence to that effect, but insinuate that the move helped Trump to win the White House. According to a source, the intelligence community believes with "a high level of confidence" that Putin was behind a "campaign of influence."
Additionally, the ties of the Kremlin and the White House have also refused to go away. Recently, it ramped up when Mike Flynn resigned from his position as national security adviser after admitting that he misled Vice President Pence and other senior administration officials about a meeting with the Russian ambassador to the United States last year.
Markov, speaking to New York Daily News, believes hardliners in the military and U.S. Congress are out to impede President Trump even as he pursues better relations with Russia. Markov described the American president as "dancing on thin ice" and playing a "risky game," adding that America's intelligence services wanted to "overthrow President Trump in a coup."
The former lawmaker revealed that Russia celebrated when Trump won the elections in November. However, according to him, the mood has since changed because there is now high doubt that he cannot deliver a cordial relationship between the world powers.
President Trump drew displeasure during his campaign as he praised Putin as a strong leader, adding that he was even more globally respected than former President Barack Obama. Trump has refused to accept the U.S. intelligence verdict that Russia interfered with the U.S. elections. Moreover, at least three Trump former aides remain under scrutiny for their purported ties with Moscow.
Word of a mental health dossier on the 45th president of the United States comes less than a week after his press conference at the White House. The fiery arguments between the president and reporters again prompted mental health professionals and Democrats to question his psychological fitness for office.

A New York psychologist, John Gartner, spearheaded a petition against the billionaire president pointing out that he suffered from "malignant narcissism," as of the time of this report more than 26,000 mental health professionals agreed with the assessment.

A planned pan-European payments network backed by 22 banks to compete with U.S. duo Mastercard and Visa appealed on Tuesday for public money, saying its private backers were not prepared to stump up all the cash needed.
Reuters state that "the European Payments Initiative (EPI) was launched last year and is seeking to get more banks and other players in payments on board by December to finalise plans to start rolling out its instant and card payments network."
"Public funding would be nice," EPI Chief Executive Martina Weimert told an event held by the European Payments Institutions Federation. "Let's not hide it – it's going to be a massive investment. It's expensive."
Retailers say they are not ready to pay for it, while banks and other EPI shareholders "can carry only so much", Weimert said, without giving details on the investment needed.
Deutsche Bank, UniCredit, BNP Paribas, ING, Societe Generale and Sabadell are amongst the 22 banks from seven EU countries, including France, Germany and Spain who are backing the venture.
Reuters goes on to comment that "the European Union has been keen to achieve strategic autonomy in financial services, such as by cutting reliance on U.S. Mastercard and Visa for cross-border card payments. It's unclear whether that will extend to financial backing for EPI."
Weimert said EPI was now in a "critical phase" of decision making over the next few weeks.
It will build a new system and largely replace a plethora of national systems to reduce fragmentation and overlaps in payments, she said, aiming to launch in 2022 peer-to-peer transactions based on instant payments, followed by e-commerce.

How much money do Lyft drivers make in Tacoma?
Lyft Pay Tacoma – Tacoma Lyft driver Salary
How much do Lyft drivers make in Tacoma?
We examine the question of Lyft driver incomes in Tacoma, Washington and estimates that a Tacoma Lyft driver's salary is approximately $30,170 (per year).
Lyft Driver Hours & Expenses in Tacoma
It is possible to estimate the earnings of a Tacoma Lyft driver, as follows:
- An average trip for a Lyft driver pays out approximately $9.67 in the Tacoma area.
- Lyft drivers are able to complete about two full trips per hour (i.e., equating to a total hourly rate of $19.34).
Assuming an average Tacoma-based Lyft driver works about 30 hours per week, their total earnings amount to approximately $580.20 per week.
This equates to a yearly salary of $30,170 for a Tacoma-based Lyft driver.
Driver Expenses & Lyft Commission
A Lyft driver's revenue in Tacoma is a gross salary estimate. As such, it does not factor in Lyft's commission (25%), or other operating costs, including fuel, car insurance, or other expenses.
For drivers who target high-demand areas of Tacoma, income will likely be higher. Driving a fuel-efficient or hybrid vehicle will almost certainly lower a driver's operating expenses.
Best Times for Lyft Drivers in Tacoma:
- Morning: 6:00am – 9:00am
- Evening: 4:16pm – 7:00pm

The Orlando Magic will spend Memorial Day hosting an NBA Draft workout for at least three players at Amway Center, reports Jeff Goodman of ESPN. Oklahoma State combo guard Marcus Smart headlines the workout, with Duke swingman Rodney Hood and Arizona two-guard Nick Johnson slated to participate as well. In addition, ESPN 1080 host Mike Tuck reports UCLA shooting guard Zach LaVine and NC State shooting guard T.J. Warren will also attend the session.
Smart could be in the mix for Orlando with the fourth overall pick. The other four prospects figure to be on the board when the Magic select again at no. 12.
Smart projects as a high lottery pick after two seasons at Stillwater. The 20-year-old averaged 18 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 2.9 steals in his sophomore season while shooting 42.2 percent from the floor. Worryingly, he did not improve as a three-point shooter from his freshman to sophomore seasons, sinking 29.9 percent of his 5.3 trey attempts per game. Still, Smart has earned raves for his demeanor and physicality.
Hood, a transfer from Mississippi State, ranked second on the Blue Devils in scoring in his lone Durham season. He shot 46.4 percent from the floor and a blistering 42 percent from three-point distance en route to averaging 16.1 points per game.
Johnson played three seasons at Arizona and increased his scoring average in each, from 8.9 as a freshman to 16.3 as a junior. In his final season, he added 4.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.1 steals to that scoring average while shooting 43.2 percent overall and 36.7 percent from three-point distance.
LaVine left UCLA after one season, during which campaign he averaged 9.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.8 assists on 44.1 percent shooting from the floor, including 37.5 percent shooting from three-point distance. He does not figure to immediately contribute at the NBA level, but could grow into a solid role-player thanks to his explosive offensive skills.
Warren earned Consensus All-American Second Team honors for his performance as a junior for the Wolfpack. He averaged 24.9 points per game to lead all Atlantic Coast Conference players in scoring while adding 7.1 rebounds and 1.8 steals.
The NBA Draft is set for June 27th. Orlando figures to conduct several workouts like Monday's as that date draws nearer.

I've been waiting a long time for a coffee bar like Faro to finally make its way to Rome.
The bar declares itself to be the only independent speciality coffee bar in the city. Not beholden to any limiting agreements with certain roasters, Faro seeks out the best specialty coffee from all over the world.
The three cofounders Daphne, Dario and Arturo, decided that they were up to the challenge of bringing a new coffee culture to Rome in December 2016.
Dario told me that Faro (which means "lighthouse" in Italian), aims to combine quantity, quality and atmosphere.
It was the atmosphere that struck me first. When I say that I've been searching for something like Faro, I mean that I've been craving a coffee spot that brings together design, comfort and a seriously good caffeine fix.
Most coffees in Rome are quickly downed at the banco, and tend towards dark roast that are bitter and often burnt.
Faro has the space and the inviting touch that makes you want to stay awhile and browse their coffee menu.
While the bar has a house blend espresso that hits the typical Italian €1 mark, they also have a menu of regularly changing speciality coffees at varying price points.
Taking Daphne's advice, I went straight for what Faro says is their best coffee. Nensebo is a single origin Ethiopian roast that is unbelievable floral. For me the flavor had lots of hits of lime, as well as some of the strawberry also described on the menu.
You can taste all these notes because all the baristas at Faro will encourage you to try whichever coffee you order without sugar. It's such a core part of the philosophy that the WiFi password is even "senzazucchero."
And you can feel free to use it. No one will shoo you out of the shop, but they might encourage you to try something else from the menu. Faro serves artisan cornetti that always sell out by mid morning, as well as quick lunch items such as soups, wraps and salads alongside daily specials.
And the desserts? The tiramisu is delicious, as is the yogurt topped with frutti di bosco.
So if you consider yourself a coffee lover and you haven't tried Faro, you need to remedy that.
The gleaming La Marzocca and Makhong/Mazzer grinders will be your first hint that coffee is king here.
Faro also offers aeropress and filter coffee which I intend to head back to try soon.
Faro – Luminari del Caffè
Via Piave 55
Rome, Italy
Open Monday – Friday from 7 am to 5 pm. Opens Saturday at 8 am and Sunday at 9 am.

The CIA director, George Tenet, intervened to remove a reference to Iraq-Niger nuclear links from a presidential speech last October, three months before the same intelligence appeared in George Bush's State of the Union address, US officials say.
Mr Tenet argued to White House officials that the allegation should not be used because it came from only a single source, one official said. Another official said the CIA had doubts about the accuracy of the documents underlying the allegation, which months later turned out to be forged.
Despite US acknowledgement of the forgery, the British Government continues to stand by the Niger claims.
In a letter to a British parliamentary committee released at the weekend, the Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw, said Britain rejected a request from the CIA to drop the claim that Saddam Hussein had sought nuclear material from Niger from its intelligence dossier because Britain was confident the allegation was true.
Mr Straw's letter also says Britain had evidence - gained independently from the US - of the so-called Niger link that it had chosen not to share with Washington.
In Nigeria on Saturday Mr Bush said he retained faith in Mr Tenet after the CIA director acknowledged he had got it wrong in allowing the Niger claim to appear in the State of the Union address.
However, the new disclosure suggests how eager the White House was to make nuclear capability a part of its case against Saddam even in the face of earlier objections by its own CIA director.
It also appears to undermine Mr Bush's forceful effort on Friday to blame the CIA for inclusion of the faulty allegations because the agency ultimately agreed on the State of the Union speech.
It is unclear why Mr Tenet intervened to prevent the questionable intelligence about Niger from appearing in an earlier presidential speech but did not do so again for the far more symbolic speech three months later. That failure might underlie his action on Friday in taking responsibility for not stepping in again to question the reference.
In Britain, Mr Straw said "the CIA expressed reservations to us about this element [the Niger connection] of the September dossier. This is correct."
"However, the US comment was unsupported by explanation and UK officials were confident that the dossier's statement was based on reliable intelligence that had not been shared with the US. A judgement was therefore made to retain it," he wrote.
Mr Straw said Britain's assessment of an Iraqi nuclear threat did not rest only on attempts to procure uranium. The letter backs the position of the Prime Minister, Tony Blair, who last week told a parliamentary committee:
"The evidence that we had that the Iraqi Government had gone back to try to purchase further amounts of uranium from Niger did not come from the so-called forged documents; they came from separate intelligence. Insofar as our intelligence services are concerned, they stand by it".
with The Washington Post
· The US Army has staged a pre- emptive strike against Iraqi fighters near Tikrit after learning they have been stockpiling arms. Intelligence agencies warn of a wave of attacks over the next week to coincide with anniversaries tied to Saddam Hussein and the Baath party.
· Four men described as cousins of Saddam and members of his personal security force were arrested on Saturday.
· Spain's cabinet has approved plans to send 1300 soldiers to Iraq.
· The US military announced that it was turning over policing of Falluja to Iraqi police.
· An Iraqi official said the country could not discuss long-term oil contracts with customers because of sabotage attacks on pipelines.

text: Pitt Basketball With Joy Hard to Find During Pandemic, Jeff Capel Continuing to Look Out For His Players Published 3 years ago on February 9, 2021 By George Michalowski 3Shares Share Tweet Flipboard Email Comment Opening the season with a loss to St. Francis (PA) was not how anyone imagined Pitt's season to start. The Panthers, heading into the third season of the Jeff Capel era, had improved their record each of the past two years and had brought in a top-30 recruiting class. The future was looking bright. However, after that initial loss, fans of the team quickly counted Pitt out, saying it was looking like another disappointing season in Oakland and a failed experiment with the hiring of Capel. Preparing for his team's first high-major opponent in Northwestern a day later, Capel took to the microphone on Dec. 8 while the Panthers sat at 2-1 with a close win over Drexel and again, the loss at St. Francis. "I don't know what's being said, but I think it's shameful if stuff is being negatively said or being written about a kid," he said. "I saw something the other day where Kentucky is struggling. Well, the world is struggling. You don't know what these kids are going through. I know what my guys are going through, I know how hard this is for them." In a season where cancellations and outbreaks have become more common than big wins and buzzer beaters, Capel has continuously been looking out for his team and all of the kids across the country who have been devoting their time to their teams during such an unusual year. Fast forward to last week, and the Panthers had lost three-straight games, bringing their record from 8-2 to 8-5, and were now preparing to take on one of the best teams on their schedule in Virginia Tech. The Hokies came into the game ranked No. 16 in the nation, with an impressive resume that included wins over Virginia, Villanova, and Clemson. On paper, it surely looked as if Pitt's losing streak would be extended to four. However, Capel's team had other plans. Pitt, led by a fiery Xavier Johnson, upset the ranked Hokies, winning 83-73 at home. Johnson had a career day, scoring a career-high 32 points on 11-of-17 shooting, all while coming off the bench for the first time this season. This team had proven it was not like the past few Pitt teams. The losing streak that everyone thought would continue had been snapped. After the game, not only Johnson, but also the rest of his teammates and the staff, went wild in the locker room, celebrating Pitt's first win over a ranked opponent since Jan. 2019. The Panthers seemed to be back on track and ready to make a late-season push for an NCAA Tournament bid. That's how you fight. That's Pittsburgh 💯 #ZooEra pic.twitter.com/uM8KNfuJua — Pitt Basketball (@Pitt_MBB) February 4, 2021 While those post-win moments are certainly a bright spot in an otherwise dark year for all, Capel said Monday, shortly after the celebrations, you have to snap back to reality. "I am grateful for the fact that these guys are able to play. I am grateful for that. I do see the struggles that they had at times when playing, with everything that's going on. Maybe I am sounding like a Debbie-Downer, but there hasn't been much joy to be honest with you, with the season. Even if you have a great win, it's joy in that moment, but then you go back to reality, and the reality of the situation is not good just with what is going on, in my opinion." Although Pitt could not come out on top against a very talented Virginia team, fans and bracketologists alike seem to agree that the Panthers are still in, or at least near, consideration for the NCAA tournament. Pitt has at six games remaining, and that number may increase if it can reschedule cancelled matchups against Florida State and Louisville. Granted the Virginia game is not one to be too hung-up about, it is still an additional tally added to the loss column, and coming off of a huge win over Virginia Tech, a loss like that may feel like a let-down. On Monday, Capel spoke on how tough it has been for his guys and everyone around the country to deal with these types of losses on the court during a year in which so much has been lost off the court. "I think these young people are dealing with a lot this year," he said. "I think everyone, the players, the coaches, I think everyone is in need of mental health help with everything that's going on. You have this game that we love and that you want, that normally brings joy to your life even sometimes in the losses because you're playing, you get to do something you love, you get to compete, all the things with that, and that's messed up this year. There are no fans, the competition is just weird, it is, it's weird, the games are weird, and then you're judged by it. "You're judged by what's talked about, what's written. So if you have a bad performance, in the past, for a young person, that can be difficult in general but I think it may be magnified right now. Then when you're being criticized for it, I think that can be even tougher just with everything that you're doing. So there is not a lot of joy this year. As a coach, after a loss, I am mindful of that. You try to figure out the best way to get whatever it is you want to get accomplished talking to your team." Although at times this season Capel has seemed, which he admitted, like a Debbie Downer, there is still one thing that is undeniable. The third-year head coach cares, a lot, about his players. And while Pitt may not be where it wants to be as a program yet, it is looking like he is the right man for the job of bringing the program back to the top of the college basketball world. After its game against Louisville that was originally scheduled for Feb. 10 was cancelled, Pitt now has an additional four days to rest and prepare for Georgia Tech on Sunday, Feb. 14. The road contest in Atlanta will tip off at 4 p.m. and will be broadcast on ACC Network. 3Shares Share Tweet Flipboard Email Comment Related Topics:COVID-19featuredGeorgia TechJeff CapelPandemicPitt basketballVirginia TechXavier Johnson Up Next Pitt's Justin Champagnie Named To Naismith Trophy Midseason Team Don't Miss Lance White: Loss to Syracuse Moment 'to Grow From' Click to comment Subscribe Notify of new follow-up comments new replies to my comments Label {} [+] Name* Email* Website Label {} [+] Name* Email* Website 0 Comments Inline Feedbacks View all comments

From Panel To Projection Booth |1| – SHAZAM! Battle of the Super Men
Most conversations concerning the contemporary, although not altogether recent, trend in super heroics will begin by commenting on the apparent ubiquity of the phenomenon. Thanks to films like The Dark Knight and The Avengers superheroes have been popularized but perhaps more importantly legitimized. The adventures of caped crusaders are equally available and accessible to children and to adults, over the various mediums in which they are portrayed, however, there was a time when this was not the case and comic book adventures were considered strictly for children. The origins of many of the heroes who now frolic about ours screens were wrought with conflict but not against the flamboyantly dressed antagonists to which most have become accustomed. The superheroes we know and love faced the undeniably more real, although entirely more mundane threats of legal suits, censorship, and the shifting sensibilities of taste. Take a run with me on the cosmic treadmill, if you would be so kind, and cast your mind back to 1938…
Bursting onto the scene on the cover of Action Comics #1, senselessly thrashing a car to the horror of onlookers, Superman made his debut in that fated year and within a few short months had spawned dozens of imitations. The superhero was born. By the early 1940s things were well and truly taking off; Timely Comics (which would eventually become Marvel) were producing titles which included characters like the Sub-Mariner and Captain America, and Stan Lee had been appointed to an editorial position at the humble age of eighteen, while over at National Comics (now publishing under the name DC) characters like Batman, the Flash, and Wonder Woman, were being created, characters that would, despite the looming spectre of adversity, become mainstays of 20th Century popular culture and would still be foiling criminal machinations well into the 21st. But while all was well in the fictional realms depicted panel by panel the more mundane worlds of grey and black suits, legality, and profits were beginning to stir up trouble.
Superheroes proved to be very popular very quickly and as soon as publishers realized this they didn't shy away from hopping on the bandwagon. National's massive success in sales had prompted many other publications to branch into the comic book business. The problem was these newly minted publications needed heroes like Superman to keep up. Being the first publisher to have employed a superhero, National felt itself entitled to protect its intellectual property and so any other barrel chested, cape wearing, strong men then in publication came under fire. At the request of Fox Publications, the now renowned creator, Will Eisner created Wonder Man who was to feature in Wonder Comics published in February of. Wonder Man, Fred Carson by day, had been granted superpowers when an elderly Tibetan monk bestowed a magical ring to him and Carson used those powers to fight crime using his superpowers alter ego. Within a month of the Wonder Comics #1 being published National Comics had filed lawsuit against Fox Publications claiming copyright infringement. The battle of the Super-Men had begun!
In 1940 the decision of the very first comic book law suit (of which there would be oh so many more) forced Fox Publications to drop Wonder Man and the hero faded into the obscure limbo reserved for fictional characters no longer in print. Wonder Comics would be renamed Wonder World Comics and replace Wonder Man with characters like The Flame and the Blue Beetle who, ironically enough, now calls the DC universe his home. Emboldened by its victory another publication, Fawcett Comics, was forced under duress of another suit from National Comics to discontinue the use of the character Master Man, another Superman clone. Master Man was not the only Superman-like character at Fawcett, however, and his discontinuation was only the tip of the iceberg of what would become one of the most famous legal battles in comic book history.
Mild mannered and intrepid Billy Batson was just an ordinary, homeless, newsboy when an old man lured his down to a secret subway tunnel. Taken to a strange cave the mysterious man reveals he is the wizard Shazam and that Billy has been chosen as an avatar to protect the world. All Billy had to do was repeat the wizards name, "SHAZAM!" and the magic lightning would grant him the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the stamina of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles, and the speed of Mercury. Captain Marvel was born. Although red and yellow in colour scheme, Captain Marvel bore many similarities to Superman including his skin-tight costume and cape, his set of superpowers, his secret identity, although there were also notable differences between the two such as Captain Marvel's ability to fly. Superman at this time could only jump astoundingly high into the air, it was only years later that Superman would adopt the ability as it had been originally envisioned in Captain Marvel.
National filed suit against Fawcett in 1941 but the case wouldn't go to trial for another seven years. In that time Captain Marvel managed to really take off and became the most successful and best-selling superhero of the day and eventually proved to be the most popular of all the superheroes during the Golden Age, which began with Superman gracing the cover of Action Comics #1 and ended roughly around the middle of the 1950s, even surpassing Superman in sales. Fawcett created the Marvel family which included an extended cast of characters related to Billy, like Freddy Freeman who became teenage superhero Captain Marvel, Jr. and Mary Bromfield who became teenage superheroine Mary Marvel and (my personal favourite) the anthropomorphic talking tiger Taky Tawny. Together the Marvel Family fought the likes of mad scientist Doctor Sivanna and Captain Nazi, their adventures narrated by the brave, freelance newsboy Billy Batson. These innovations, which would inspire the Superman family and Batman family and inform the idea of superhero for decades to come, would well outlive their original publisher Fawcett, as the publisher had to go to trial with National eventually.
National Comics Publications v. Fawcett Publications, went to trial after seven years the initial cease and desist order had been sent from National to Fawcett in 1941 and in 1948. The verdict delivered in 1951 was that while Fawcett had infringed upon Nationals intellectual property, however, National had also failed to copyright some early Superman newspaper strips and so the case found in favour of Fawcett publications. National appealed the decision and in 1952 Judge Learned Hand (what a name!) found in favour of National and sent the case back to retrial. Outside of the court case, however, everything wasn't going to well for Fawcett.
Initial sales for Captain Marvel's comics had been somewhere in the region of fourteen million units in the early 1940s but by the 1946 sales had dropped by half and showed no signs of regaining as interest was slowly declining for superhero adventures. As such, in an out of court settlement, Fawcett ceased all publications of containing Captain Marvel and paid National damages of $400,000. Even in their infancy comic book superheroes were worth big bucks. Fawcett would try to reinvigorate its comic books throughout the late 1940s and early 1950s but in 1953 ceded defeat and shut down its entire comic book division. Fawcett weren't alone in their declining sales and popularity.
Superheroes showed resilience in the face of these initial legal battles but whether due to the lacking attention span of their key demographic or to the saturation of the capes and colours adorning the covers on newsstands, the popularity of the superhero was waning after WWII and by the late 1940s publishers began a reshuffle of their titles. Books specifically dealing with a titular hero were less in demand and so publishers organised their titles around genres like westerns, pulp sci-fi, detective yarns, and horror stories. Many heroes like Wonder Woman and even Superman and Batman had originated in anthology books like Action, Detective, and Sensation Comics, where their first appearance was only a single story among a few others so the leap wasn't a huge set back. Many popular heroes, such as the three mentioned above, managed to keep their ongoing series while others like Green Lantern and the Flash weren't so lucky. Regardless of who got their own book, and despite surviving the earlier legal hoity-toity and declining popularity towards the end of the 1940s, the greatest foe that the superhero clan had yet faced loomed, silhouetted on the horizon of 1954, with a name that still strikes fear into contemporary liberals everywhere; The Censor.

Details emerging from Singapore's worst data breach suggests a deeper issue of staff disengagement
Disengaged employees can showcase several symptoms that suggest they have "checked out" of their work. It could be caused by a multitude of personal as well as professional issues and can be hard to pin down, especially in a large organisation.
A formal investigation of Singapore's worst cyber attack suggests that besides a lack of a more secure system, there was also the worrying issue of a disengaged key staffer which led to a communication breakdown.
In July this year, hackers stole personal information of over 1.5million SingHealth patients, including Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and other ministers.
A Committee of Inquiry was launched on 28 August to investigate the attack.
The latest revelation involves a key staffer saying he ignored suspicious cyber activities as it would simply lead to more work and pressure from his bosses.
He claimed that his team would have "no day and no night" once news of the breach was out.
Ernest Tan, senior manager at IHiS's security management department decided to ignore warning signs after a junior executive alerted the team in an internal chat group. IHiS or Integrated Health Systems is the government's info-technology arm which supports hospitals and healthcare institutions under SingHealth.
After the junior engineer made the discovery, he attempted to contain the attack and told the team that they "really need to escalate into incident".
Two days after, Tan decided against reporting the incident to higher management and told his subordinate that once they escalate the issue, "there will be no day and no night" for the team and everyone will be "working non-stop" on the case.
His decision then led to a bottleneck in the reporting of a breach and inaction by management. This ultimately resulted in the compromise of patients' personal data.
"What do I get?"
At a hearing by the COI, Tan was asked to explain why he decided against reporting the incident. He told the committee that he had thought to himself, "If I report the matter, what do I get?"
"If I report the matter, I will simply get more people chasing me for more updates," he said.
It was heard that Tan is the designated response manager for all security incidents involving SingHealth. Besides an attempt to avoid additional work pressures, he added that even if a cyber security incident had occurred, he thought it wouldn't be his job to raise the alarm.
He explained that he believed it was the responsibility of other personnel from IHiS' senior management to escalate such attacks.
However, he only met with senior management on 9 July, a day before the attack was confirmed and reported to the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore. Tan had declined to meet the exec on 7 July as he was "too stressed to work that weekend", explaining that his mother was hospitalised.
According to Today, Benedict Tan, SingHealth's group chief information officer said the senior manager's concern on excessive work pressure was "not acceptable" to allow the bottleneck.
"Management would (provide) additional resources to assist in the response and management (of the security incident)," CIO Tan said. "I do not think that people will have to go about it alone."

ERA Specifications
as Old as the Industry, as modern as the Hour
The company was called English racing Autombiles, and was formed by Raymond Mays, Peter Berthon and Humphrey Cook. 17 cars of Types A-D were built, although Types C and D were just modified B-types. There were also three E-types, which owed less to Riley than the previous cars. The 'prototype' ERA was the White Riley, itself developed from the successful TT cars of 1933 (another of these cars formed the prototype MPH).
The cylinder blocks and other parts were manufactured by Riley for ERA, and much of the work was done within the Riley works, alongside both Rileys own works team and of course Freddie Dixons team! It is understood that at one point an ERA held the course / lap record on every major racing, hillclimb or trials circuit in the British Isles, as well as many abroad. Whether this is true or not is now impossible to confirm, but the cars were prolific winners!
Of the 20 ERAs built, 16 still existed in 1982, and I presume the same number (if not more!) survive today. I believe that all 4 Type A cars survive, along with 10 of the B-D Types and 2 E-types.

Autopsy studies in victims of sudden coronary death revealed intramyocardial platelet aggregates with microscopic myonecrosis downstream from ruptured atherosclerotic plaques. Ruptured plaques usually manifest angiographically as irregularly bordered (type II) lesions. To investigate the possible pathogenic role of ruptured plaques in arrhythmic death, we analyzed clinical, angiographic, and electrophysiologic data from 49 survivors of cardiac arrest without acute myocardial infarction. All patients had ≥50% stenoses of ≥one coronary artery; 16 had type II morphology, and 33 did not. Type II morphology was more prevalent in patients without inducible sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardla (11 of 22 or 50%) than in those with it (five of 27 or 19%), p < 0.05, and patients without akinetic or dyskinetic segments (eight of 14 or 57%) than in those with them (eight of 34 or 24%), p < 0.06. Thus type II morphology is more prevalent in patients without a demonstrable anatomic and/or electrophysiologic substrate for reentrant ventricular tachycardia, indirectly implicating ruptured plaques in the pathogenesis of cardiac arrest in this subset of patients.

year old Nora Dultry's dreams hide even more. They're a gateway to
the man of her dreams, and an escape from her painful past. She's
fantasized about him for years, and when he mysteriously walks into
her summer teaching gig, she never dreamed she'd question whether he

are the only creatures on earth, whose emotions are irrevocably
entangled with thier memories."
So this was it. This was my life for the next 90 days. The next 2160 hours, give or take. When you were trapped in purgatory did a few hours more or less really matter?
I'd only had a chance to visit grandfather once before we left. I hated that I wouldn't be able to see him more. But the nurse promised she'd read my letters to him as often as they arrived.
He was asleep more than he was awake now, but I knew he could hear me and could feel when I was there. Which meant he'd miss me when I wasn't. And three months seemed like a very long time to be away. Still, with the money I made from this I'd be able to get him into a facility closer to home where he could get the proper care he needed. That was all that mattered now.
I missed my old life. When Grandma was still alive. And when granddad was still, himself.
Sighing, I stuffed the memories back down. It was over. Moving on. Our first day was pretty flexible as far as time commitments went. There was a tour and orientation and then we were encouraged to explore on our own after lunch. Kenzie had already hooked up with some graphic arts instructors from Brazil she'd met during the interviews. When I declined to join them for a swim, she took off, leaving me alone in the cabin.
It had pretty much everything you could want. Indoor plumbing, microwave, even a coffee machine. I mean it was hardly roughing it. But no tv or internet sucked, and I hated being way from my sculpting class. And of course granddad.
Enough moping. A walk, that was what I needed. I tugged a sweatshirt over my tank top and shorts, slipped on my flip-flops and headed outside. I followed the trail into the woods nearby. Beyond it was the lake, a crystal glistening clear blue body of liquid, just begging for some party hard teens to fall into and drown. This place had high school horror flick all over its idyllic brochure. And here I was in the middle of it. A girl with a dream guy occupying her nights and a real live one terrorizing her days. At least that was how it felt seeing Troy again, after that night. Nothing like being completely forgotten to boost a girl's self-esteem, and to be reminded of said failure every time I saw him, which from the sounds of it would be a lot of the next nine weeks.
I'd only been walking a few minutes when I ran into Kenzie.
"What happened to the Brazilian boys?" I asked as she sauntered over.
"They got hauled into the principal's office for smoking. I told them not to do it out in the open." She said. "Where ya headed?"
"Can I join?"
I shrugged and kept walking. Until I stopped dead.
Up ahead was Troy. Fitted white t-shirt, gray track pants rolled to the waist, looking way too good. He was jogging, listening to music and heading in our direction. My heart lurched and in a moment of panic, I grabbed Kenzie, shoved her into the bushes, then dove in after her.
"What the f—"
I clapped my hand over her mouth as Troy jogged past us, his rock hard muscles that I remembered all too well, flexing as he ran.
When he was out of view, I climbed out of the shrubs and offered Kenzie a hand to help her up.
She smacked it away. "What the hell was that?" She dusted her red leggings, scowling. "In what universe do we dodge gorgeous guys?"
Every day in my universe. "Sorry. I just wasn't ready to see him again."
"Why not?"
"It's complicated."
"Well make it uncomplicated." She raised her brows in expectation. Then her foot started taping.
Her voice escalated. "Why don't you want to talk to Mr. Hot?"
"Because," I whispered, dragging her back toward the cabin, "I know him. I mean, we've met before. In the past."
"You're being cryptic. What happened? How'd you meet?"
"He was teaching this course I was taking." I chewed my lip, regretting that I hadn't come up with a lie.
"Cool." She studied my face. "Or not so cool. You're clearly not too thrilled about seeing him again. Get a bad grade?"
"Yeah, something like that." Actually nothing like that.
"And now he's your boss. Cra-zy."
"Right?" That seemed to satisfy her which meant for now, my humiliation was safe.
dreamer at heart, Michele Barrow-Belisle has always lived with one
foot in this reality and one foot in another, one of her own
imagining. So it follows that she would grow up to write about and
sculpt the characters from those enchanting worlds she knows and
loves so well. As a fan of everything romantic, her young adult
novels are populated with witches and vampires and faeries. Michele
resides in southern Canada with her hubby and son who indulge her
passions for writing, reading, lattes, and most of all
also loves shoes.

Hurricanes vs. Predators NHL Playoffs Odds and Game 6 Pick – May 27th, 2021
This series has gone to three straight overtimes and tonight could go to its forth overtime, as they Hurricanes head to Tennessee for Game 6 against the Predators. In the end, the Predators couldn't hold on to the lead, and the Canes won 3-2. These two teams are all in, giving some of the best hockey we've seen so far in the Playoffs.
Game 6 will be played in Nashville, so home field advantage can benefit the Preds. Can they get another win and send the series to Game 7? Or will the Hurricanes end it tonight and move on? It's time to dig into this Hurricanes vs. Predators matchup, along with the latest NHL odds, betting trends and expert predictions. Be sure to be on the lookout for all the latest NHL odds and lines at our online BTC sportsbook!
Hurricanes vs. Predators Game 6 Information
- When: Thursday, May 27th, 2021, 9:30 PM ET
- Where: Bridgestone Arena, Nashville, Tennessee
- Radio: 99.9 FM The Fan (Hurricanes) // 102.5 FM The Game (Predators)
- Live Stream: NHL Live
- NHL Betting Odds: Carolina Hurricanes (-139) / OU: 5.5
READ MORE: Canadiens vs. Maple Leafs NHL Playoffs Odds and Game 5 Preview – May 27th, 2021
Why Bet on the Carolina Hurricanes?
Statistically, the Canes have been playing better than the Preds in the first five game of the series. They hold a an expected goal rate 57.9% just within those games and they've exceeded them in every game with a 50% goal expected rate, meaning that they average 3.5 goals per game in the playoffs. On the defense, they've been pretty good as well, allowing 2.2 goals per game.
The defense will be the main character for Carolina. The return of Jaccob Slavin in Game 5 boosted the line. He has played to a 68.2% in expected goals along with top players like Dougie Hamilton, who brings the needed power to stop Nashville. The Hurricanes are coming in with plenty of confidence, as long as they don't mess up in the defense.
Why Bet on the Nashville Predators?
It's been quite the struggle for the Nashville offense to get the wins. Heading into overtime in the past three games, imagine the level of tiredness you might have after playing over 45 minutes. The Predators currently average 2.2 goals per game, but the defense has been not too good, allowing 3.5 goals per game.
But there is a light of hope in the defense with goalie Juuse Saros. His performance during the season has been great, with q .940 save percentage and 14.29% of goals saved above expected. He will need the defense to put it together to not put all of the weight on him tonight. If he has a good game and shuts out the Canes, there will definitely be a Game 7.
Hurricanes vs. Predators Betting Trends
- The Hurricanes are 15-5 SU in the last 20 games against Nashville.
- The Hurricanes are 1-6 SU in the last 7 games on the road.
- The totals went over in 4 of Carolina's last 6 games played on a Thursday when on the road.
- The Predators are 5-0 SU in the last 5 games at home.
- The Predators are 4-1 SU in the last 5 games when playing at home against Carolina.
- The totals went underin 6 of Nashville's last 9 games against Carolina.
Hurricanes vs. Predators Expert Betting Predictions
Everything indicates the Hurricanes can take the win tonight. Their stats are way better compared to the Predators, but will they make a difference? Some times, the heat at the moment bring the best out of players and teams, especially if you're on the verge on of elimination. And playing at home will boost the needed confidence to extend it to Game 7. This one is a tough call.

If you thought the global warming brigade was actually about working harder to make the planet a better place, boy do I have some bad news for you.
With the United Nations, it's usually a good bet that they have some sort of ulterior motive for whatever action they're trying to take. Knowing this, it makes you wonder why they're pushing the anti-global warming global cooling climate change agenda so hard.
"This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution."
Of course, there she is referring to capitalism. She repeated the sentiment later on, making it clear that she hadn't misspoken and her words hadn't been taken out of context.
"This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model for the first time in human history."
This is exactly why the Unites States needs to reconsider and restructure our relationship with the U.N. They are bent on trying to destroy a tried-and-true economic system and yet we still allow them on our soil.
America needs to realize that these people are not our friends. We are hosting a club for people who hate us and our way of life. Why?
Get the U.N. out of the U.S., and get the U.S. out of the U.N.

She needs to know your affection doesn't always have an agenda
By Gal Szekely — Written on Sep 23, 2014
Guys, you know how in the beginning of a relationship, there's a magical feeling between you and your lady? You feel close to each other, and passion is always in the air. She's really into you, too — and ordinary interaction easily becomes sexual (and you two end up in bed).
Fast-forward four or five years later, and now your partner — maybe your wife — seems far less interested in sex. You are physical less often, and sex isn't that great when you do. She may seem less present or engaged than you'd like, or perhaps she's complaining that you don't know how to get her in the mood. Many men don't understand what their partner means by that.
Routine: The Intimacy Killer
Once routine settles into your relationship, many men start giving less affection to their partner, saving it only for when they want to have sex. These men view touching, kissing, or caressing as foreplay, and they're become far less physical because they (mistakenly) believe that foreplay only starts when there's an intention for sex. In other words, men have a short foreplay-to-sex time span!
But for many women this is different. Women are in the mood for sex more when they feel consistent affection from their man — but the affection that men consider "foreplay" doesn't always have to lead to sex. Think of that moment in the kitchen when you pass each other and you put a hand on her back, or when you surprise her with a quick kiss on the neck. How does she respond in those moments of straight-forward affection, as opposed to when you do the same thing deliberately looking for sex? It's everyday passionate attention that shows her you're interested in her all the time, not just when you have an agenda (however fun that agenda may be).
Rekindling The Flame Requires Daily Sparks
Think women are less interested in sex than men? Think again. But for women, "foreplay" happens throughout the week. They feel more passionate when they feel love and affection on a consistent basis.
So guys, treat your partner like the sexy woman she is, every day, without it always needing to lead to sex. If you can pull this off consistently (and sincerely), she'll feel beautiful, desired, and emotionally connected — and sexually speaking, that's very good for you.
Every couple has different sexual needs and talking about them in couples therapy can help you improve your intimate connection right away.

Our marriage counselors at The Couples Center can help you identify what you can do as a couple to have a fulfilling, incredibly sexy relationship.

At the beginning of the season, I had a number of conversations with contributors and friends. The topic of discussion: had Kawhi Leonard developed to the point where the Spurs no longer had just a Big Three? There was no real consensus, but the overall feeling was one that we needed to see a bit more before judging.
Then the season began with Kawhi's eye infection, and his hand injury sidelined him for far longer than I thought it would. When he re-entered the starting lineup, he did fine but the Spurs still struggled. Then this happened against the Memphis Grizzlies:
Kawhi Leonard's last two buckets: turnarounds over each shoulder. #Spurs https://t.co/4iEsauyJtg
— J.R. Wilco (@jollyrogerwilco) March 30, 2015
I watched the play over and over as the game went to commercial. I knew that I'd never seen him make back-to-back baskets like those before and I felt like something had happened. Like some corner had been turned. It was the beginning of 15 straight Spurs points that he scored, and he hasn't looked back since.
In the two weeks since that game, a lot of things have happened. The national press has noticed and everybody's writing and talking about Kawhi. In this week's In the Bonus, the PtR staff asked ourselves the question "Is Kawhi Leonard one of the NBA's top 10 players?" That's quite a jump from the question of whether he was good enough to be included with the Big Three.
Without a doubt, Kawhi has made The Leap. A few years ago, Duncan said the Spurs were Parker's team. This week, Tony said that the Spurs are Kawhi's team. I don't think there's any doubt that we've exited the Big Three era.
And we've entered the time of the Spurs' Fab Four.
How long it'll last is anybody's guess, so we've got to enjoy it while we have it. I talked with Mrs. Wilco, and we came up with the following T-shirt design. Then we contacted the BreakingT guys, and now it's available for you guys and gals.
The postseason is approaching. The Spurs are rolling. Kawhi's improving. And Duncan's still blocking. I can't wait to see what happens in the playoffs, and I can't wait to get one of these shirts to wear for San Antonio's first round matchup.

Local History Group
Clicking on most pictures will show a larger version At Bordley House about 1911 (named) At Bordley Hall about 1921 (named) |
The History of Education in MalhamdaleLee Gate & Bordley Schools (c.1891-1928) Malham Moor township is very large, mainly centred around Malham Tarn but on the Eastern side there is an elongated narrow section which includes Lee Gate and New House Farm, which adjoin Bordley Parish. Lee Gate is 3 miles from Kirkby Malham United School, 4 miles from Malham Tarn School, and about 5 miles from Threshfield and Cracoe Schools.
When attending Kirkby Malham the older Carr children travelled each day, taking turns to ride a pony. The younger children stayed in Malham monday to friday, with Maggie Hurtley at Cherry Tree Cottage . The Log Book of Kirkby Malham United School 1891 records:- The school was fee paying and held in the front room of Lee Gate, the teacher being Miss Bridges who lived with the Nelson family at Lee Gate. The children used the front door for access, and used a small door alongside the staircase to get coal for the fire, so as not to disturb the family. One of the Nelson family wrote an article for Rylstone Parish Magazine about the school at Lee Gate together with a photograph.
In 1905 the school moved to Bordley when a room at Bordley Hall, the home of Mr and Mrs Robinson, was given recognition as a temporary schoolroom and a teacher was provided by the LEA. At this point there were obviously discussions about a permanent building because a letter from the LEA to the Board of Education in London in 1905 when the temporary recognition was requested states: This in fact never happened and the arrangement at Bordley Hall only lasted for two years due to the ill health of Mrs Robinson. So in 1907 the school moved to its third location at Bordley House, the home of the Horner family whose five children were all to attend the school. The schoolroom was the Horner's sitting room which an LEA letter to the Department of Education states: The move to Bordley House was scheduled to be completed just before Miss Green left as teacher on May 31st 1907. This arrangement at Bordley House lasted until the end of the school year of 1911 when the school was once again without premises and moved back to Bordley Hall to the room which had been used previously with the proviso that the toilet arrangements were improved. (Shortly after this the Horner family left Bordley House and the Foster family from Beckermonds moved in and stayed two to three years. Their children Florence and Winifred both attended the school at Bordley Hall.)
A photograph of children taken at Bordley House around 1911 shows the teacher Miss Elsie Simon, a Scotswoman, who lodged at Lainger House. The children attending in 1911 were :- The Banks family had been living at Park House since around 1898. Another delightful photograph shows the children at Bordley Hall School
around 1922 with their teacher, Miss Poacher.

Last time we saw Romelu Lukaku in a Chelsea shirt, he was missing the decisive penalty in the 2013 UEFA Super Cup against Bayern Munich.
Eight years, 193 goals, and one scenic flight through Monte Carlo later, the prodigal son returns to fulfill his destiny. Fresh off of winning the Serie A with Inter Milan, Lukaku's back at Chelsea in a club-record €115m deal, on a five-year contract, and just a day after our victory in the 2021 UEFA Super Cup, even.
Oh what a day!
Welcome home, @RomeluLukaku9. #LukWhosBack pic.twitter.com/P43CAIVqfU
— Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) August 12, 2021
The 28-year-old world class center forward came close to returning once already, back in 2017, but at the time we baulked at the prospect of having to invest £100m. These days, with prices in the transfer market continuing to inflate despite economic conditions, that's no longer an issue.
Lukaku and Chelsea's head coach at the time, Antonio Conte would eventually end up in the same team, both joining Inter Milan two years ago. They certainly lived up to expectations together, with Lukaku setting career highs in goals (64 in 95, all told), developing into an even better player, and also winning the Serie A. We should certainly be expecting similar success at the Bridge under Thomas Tuchel.
"Romelu Lukaku is quite simply one of the world's best strikers and goalscorers. We are absolutely delighted to be bringing him back to the club he loves, and are excited to be adding his talent to our Champions League-winning squad.
"We are of course looking to build on last season's success, and Lukaku will play a big role in achieving our targets. I'm sure all Chelsea fans will join me in saying welcome home, Romelu!"
-Marina Granovskaia; source: Chelsea FC
Lukaku will not be available this weekend against Crystal Palace, but should make his debut against Arsenal next weekend.
Welcome back, Romelu! Let's win some things!

Novel Writing
I have been writing professionally since 2007 within the industry I work in. These have been monthly articles for a few international magazines. The experience I've garnered while working with editors, developing and organizing content, and helping other professionals within the industry has been invaluable.
Writing articles is a wonderful way to share knowledge, experiences and ideas. Novel writing is a fun way to take it a step further by taking your imagination and building it upon the knowledge and experiences you've had.
While my stories are works of fiction, many of the character personalities, diverse settings and even some of the dialogue is based on everyday life experiences.

Man, 77, Busted For Walmart Checkout Rage – This first story makes the list because I have imagined myself doing this many times. In fact I'm shocked we don't see stories like this more often. It's really not that difficult people, if you have more than 20 items don't go through the speedy checkout lane!
If Walmart Won't Take Your Printer Back, Don't Throw It At The Customer Service Rep – Man wants to return a printer after the allotted time, Walmart says no, man throws printer and causes $5K damage to the store.
NJ Walmart Kept Tanks Full Of Dead, Dying Fish In Full View Of Customers – Imagine going to the pet aisle and seeing tanks full of dead and rotting fish. Yuck!
Walmart workers didn't protect her from attack, customer claims in federal lawsuit – So a Walmart customer is screaming profanities at a Walmart cashier.

Things We Saw Today: Adam Scott Owned Mitch McConnell, and the Ice Clown Reigns Supreme
I have always been a stan of Ben Wyatt, and I continue to love him.
Ben Wyatt may be the Ice Clown, but he isn't here for Mitch McConnell using his gifs to promote the Republican party's terrible views. When Team Mitch decided to tweet using a Ben Wyatt gif, Adam Scott had something to say about it.
Dear Mitch McConnell & all those representing him,
Please refrain from using my image in support of anything but your own stunning & humiliating defeat.
Adamcc: @senatemajldr @McConnellPress https://t.co/0lfxuKlUiK
— Adam Scott (@mradamscott) June 26, 2019
Adam Scott portrayed Ben Wyatt on the NBC series Parks and Recreation, and to be quite honest, it's laughable that any Republican would dare use a gif from the show, let alone a Ben Wyatt gif. Do you know who he married? Leslie Knope would go stomping down to Mitch McConnell's office and scream at him.
But it didn't stop there. Team Mitch wanted to try a clap back at Adam Scott, and they clearly don't know who they were dealing with if they thought they could take on the creator of the Cones of Dunshire.

When an open seat came up for the Elite Motorsports-owned ProCharger-powered Pro Mod Camaro heading into this weekend's NHRA FallNationals in Dallas, one name immediately came to Steve Matusek and Richard Freeman to fill the spot: Alex Laughlin.
The versatile standout will fill the role of "hired gun" in the Pro Mod that Matusek originally planned to campaign at the Texas Motorplex. A number of variables will keep him from racing this weekend, but in his place will be Laughlin, who will now perform double-duty in Pro Stock and Pro Mod at his home track, with EliteHP providing the sponsorship on the Pro Mod side.
"I'm so excited for Alex to get to capitalize on this situation. He's a great driver that will do the car and team very proud," Matusek said. "He's a marketable guy and even more of a fantastic 'hired shoe.' I look forward to rooting for Team Elite from the sidelines this weekend."
For Laughlin, the opportunity came about quickly on Tuesday. Fresh off racing in Radial vs. the World at the "Sweet 16 3.0" in Valdosta, he will now be extremely busy in Dallas.
But these are the scenarios where Laughlin has thrived, jumping into a Pro Mod owned by the Caruso Family Racing team in Orlando for the first time before winning the Drag Illustrated World Doorslammer Nationals in March. Replicating that would be ideal, but Laughlin is simply enjoying the opportunity to be called upon when unique racing situations present themselves.
"This is something I've been hoping would happen for a long time. After driving so many different things, I wanted to create this space for myself where I can be a shoe-in for somebody's car," Laughlin said. "If somebody needs to hire a driver, I want to be the guy."
Matusek had planned to drive the car two weeks ago in St. Louis after making a triumphant return in Gainesville following a crash in his Mustang at Indy. Elite Motorsports and Modern Racing worked quickly to have the RJ Race Cars ProCharger Camaro ready for the next race, with Matusek turning in a solid showing at the Gatornationals.
Weather conditions postponed racing in St. Louis, and Matusek stated a number of factors, including a major family event, tied into him not racing in Dallas.
"A lot of variables went into making the decision not to run the Dallas race in our Elite Motorsports entry," Matusek said. "For starters, and most important, my daughter is going to make me a grandfather any day now. With all of the COVID-related restrictions at hospitals, we want to make sure my wife, Lori, and I do everything possible to be as safe as we can so we can be around my family and our new addition without risk.
"On another note, there have been some decisions by the sanctioning body regarding the Pro Mod class that I have been extremely unsatisfied with. There are just a lot of little things that helped us easily make the decision to put our family first and sit these next two races out."
Laughlin fits the bill as a super sub, also crediting Marty Robertson and EliteHP for the partnership to make the weekend possible.
It will be his first official race driving a ProCharger car, but he does have experience, testing the same Camaro in Darlington earlier this year as soon as Justin Elkes finished it.
That could pay dividends for Laughlin, who won in Pro Stock at the Gatornationals and also came away impressed with the potential of the power adder.
"It ran really well in testing and it's a combination that's been very competitive (in NHRA Pro Mod) this year," Laughlin said. "What's wild to me from a driving standpoint, it doesn't drive like anything else. It's kind of its own thing and has its own personality. But I feel super confident with it and if the car can run well, I believe that we can be competitive and even win the race. The combination has done well, and looking back to Orlando (for the World Doorslammer Nationals), I had never even seen that car before in person."
That worked out quite well for Laughlin, and he's hopeful for a repeat scenario in Dallas. He'll also have two chances to win in front of family and friends, making for what will surely be a hectic weekend.
He's teamed up with two local companies for the weekend as well – Eagle Marine for the Pro Stock Camaro, and EliteHP for the Pro Mod ride — which gives Laughlin even more incentive to put on a show.
"It's going to be extremely busy and it's going to be difficult, but I'm a racer and I just want to race, period," Laughlin said. "It's really cool to have two local companies on board, and it's been important to develop these relationships with these local companies."
