She'll play the time-traveling Claire Randall, a combat nurse in 1945 England who suddenly finds herself in the 1700s, where she falls for a sexy and wonderful Scottish warrior (Sam Heughan). Love is complicated! Balfe, a former model, has had small roles in Super 8 and Now You See Me, but is a relative unknown, which Outlander executive producer Ron Moore acknowledged. "Caitriona wasn't on anyone's radar, she wasn't on any list," Moore said in a statement. The show starts shooting this month — or maybe it already shot long ago in eighteenth-century Scotland, when things were tougher, rougher, and more romantic.

Tom Hardy and Henry Cavill were two of the many A-list hunks we searched for the most over the past decade.
Mr. Man just compiled a list of the men we couldn't get enough of on the internet while also picking up on the different guys we searched for as the years progressed.
Perhaps some of the men's popularity changed with time but each of them had their own moment in the sun just based on their sheer hotness.
Jake Gyllenhaal, Mark Wahlberg and Channing Tatum dominated the searches in the early 2010's while Nick Jonas and Zac Efron led the way in the years to come.
Others we've seen flow in and out of the rankings include Mr. "Big D**k Energy" Pete Davidson, Shame star Michael Fassbender who put his big ole swing a ding ding on display for the world to see in that movie and at least one guy repping the LGBTQ community… Colton Haynes.
Some of these men, like Fassbender, have piqued our interest on the big screen by leaving little or nothing to the imagination for us to gawk at. James Franco, for instance, went all the way with another guy in the 2016 movie King Cobra where he was pounded hard by co-star Keegan Allen.
Meanwhile Efron's popularity remains at an all-time high as he's currently the most searched for star on Mr. Man in January 2021. His shift from adorable twink to buffed up Baywatch babe to chiseled daddy has been very fun to watch as his career continues to blossom.

Situational Awareness
An article in the Sheepdog Church Security series Weaponless Self-Defense
In the Bible
Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers ... (Philippians 3:2).
Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8).
But the man of God sent word to the king of Israel, "Beware that you do not pass this place, for the Syrians are going down there" (2 Kings 6:9).
In the News
Stories about situational awareness in action are hard to find. A lack of awareness is more likely to make the news, unless the defensive actions of the aware person are "newsworthy."
She was aware that he was there
Seattle, Washington, March 5, 2017 -The jogger had taken a self-defense course a few weeks earlier. She was out for her usual jog in Golden Gardens Park. She stopped and went into the public restroom. While washing her hands, she was aware that something was not right. Turning, she saw a man standing there. Just then the man (a registered sex offender from another state) attacked. She fought back. Eventually, she got out of the restroom with him inside, secured the door with the help of a passerby, and called 911.[1]
Up from behind in a public place
Manhattan, New York City, March 26, 2020 - It was about 1:00 in the morning. A young woman got off the subway and started up the stairs. A mugger waiting in the station followed her. On the stairs he grabbed her from behind in a bear hug, trying to get her purse. She fought him off, and he fled on foot without the purse, leaving her with bruises and a cut lip.[2]
The stealthy intruder
Seattle, Washington, December 11, 2018 - A few minutes after noon, a middle-aged man walks into a neighborhood grocery store in West Seattle. He goes down one aisle clear to the back of the store. Following the back wall, he looks into the office and other rooms to see if anyone else was there besides the elderly clerk, who is restocking shelves.
Satisfied that she is alone and unaware of him, the intruder comes in behind her and strikes her in the head with handcuffs he holds in his hand. She fights back, and he keeps up his assault. At one point, he leaves her and tries unsuccessfully to open the cash register. Then he turns his attention back to the victim, resuming his attack.
During the melee, she gets as far as the front door and kicks it open. A passerby and a delivery driver see what is going on. The driver intervenes while the passerby calls 911. The robber runs to the rear and out the back door. Arriving police see him, give chase and capture him. The clerk is taken to the hospital.[3]
The Price of Not Being Aware
In these three news stories, the jogger is the only one who exhibited any awareness of her surroundings. Sensing the man behind her, she shifted into a defensive mode. How would this have ended if she hadn't been aware of the attacker and did not turn to face him?
If the clerk stocking shelves had seen the man stalking her, she could have used whatever was in her hand as a weapon. Would he have attacked her if she had shown awareness of him being there?
If the woman leaving the subway station knew the man was closing in on her, she could have defended herself. Being higher up the stairs, a kick would have sent him down backwards, in which case he could have been arrested. As it was, all the police had was surveillance video images.
The Theory and Practice of Awareness
Situational awareness can be described and explained. How to be aware can be told. This is the theory. In the end, it must be practiced to really work.
570º Awareness
The Sheepdog Church SecurityTraining Course "Security Team Fundamentals v4" (formerly "Church Safety and Security Volunteer Academy, v3") teaches 570º Awareness. The Church Safety Team member must always be not only aware of what is in a 360º horizontal circle, but also what is in a 180º vertical arc going from one side up, over, and down to the other side. If you are on an upper level, this becomes 720º Awareness, also taking in what is below you.[4]
Colors of Awareness
Jeff Cooper, a retired U.S. Marine, was a firearm expert who developed the "Modern Technique" of shooting a handgun (holding with both hands at eye level) as the alternative to "point shooting."[5] He considered the mental state of the defender as being more crucial to survival than shooting skill. He formulated the "Color Code of Awareness" to explain the levels of awareness and the roles they play in self-defense. There are four levels, each represented by a color: White, Yellow, Orange, Red, and a fifth level (Black) added by the Marines.
- White: Unaware and unprepared.
- Yellow: Relaxed alert. No specific threat situation. Your mindset is that "today could be the day I may have to defend myself."
- Orange: Specific alert. Something is not quite right and has your attention. Your radar has picked up a specific alert.
- Red: Condition Red is fight. Your mental trigger (established back in Condition Orange) has been tripped. You are now prepared to take any action necessary against the perceived threat.
- Black (added by the Marine Corps): This means a fight has started and is in progress.[6]
If you are alert and paying attention (Level Yellow), there will be times you go to Level Orange, then sometimes on to Level Red. Situational awareness is the first self-defense skill you need. When you are at Level White, an attacker may be able to strike without you being able to use any of your other self-defense skills.
Realistically, Cooper's colors are not the same as threat levels the Department of Homeland Security later used for a long time. Cooper's measure your alertness, not the threat. This is not how dangerous the situation is, but how ready you are to act defensively.
The OODA Loop
The OODA Loop
Colonel John Boyd was a United States Air Force fighter pilot who plotted how the thought patterns of a pilot in an aerial dogfight would give him an advantage over his opponent. This became the concept of the OODA Loop, which has influenced not only Air Force fighter pilot training, but military training in general and the decision-making practices of many organizations. Boyd devised the winning strategy of the first Gulf War.[7]
OODA stands for Observe, Orient, Decide, Act. When we Observe (are aware of) a situation, we Orient (adjust) ourselves to that situation, Decide what to do, then Act accordingly. This is called a Loop because it is a continuously repeating process. It is also self-overlapping. While we are orienting and deciding, observation continues, noticing how the situation is developing. We adjust our orientation to the situational changes and change or refine our decisions, sometimes changing our actions while we are acting.
The goal is for our actions to be most effective, positively affecting the outcome of the process. This is most successful when we can be unpredictable by going through the cycle faster than our opponent. [8] Obviously, we must practice this cycle habitually if it is to be natural to us in a defensive situation. We can then also think ahead of the curve to defuse a dangerous situation.
How could we apply this to situational awareness, such as in verbal de-escalation? Let's say you're talking with a distressed person who seems on the verge of becoming disruptive. His arm tenses as he clenches a fist. You ready yourself to parry a blow. He raises his fist as high as his chin. You're ready to block when you see the fist open as he slaps it on his chest. You recognize the lessening of a perceived threat and lighten your tension. As the conversation continues, you are constantly observing, orienting and deciding what to do or say next, and what you say or do is subject to the current state of your OODA Loop.
Integration: Putting These Together
In self-defense as Church Safety Team members, we put these three concepts together. The 570º/720º Awareness is the range of our situational awareness. This includes not only what we see, but also what we hear and what we know. Your two-way radio is part of your senses. You are in Level Yellow - this is not the time or place for Level White. As situations develop, you continuously observe and adapt.
Let's create a scene:
Over the radio you learn that an oddly-acting person is in an area down the hall, so while you are monitoring all the area around you [570º], you are especially tuned to the hallway. You have moved from Level Yellow to Level Orange, because you don't know what odd guy will do when he comes into your area.
Based on this knowledge, you think of your options, depending on odd guy's actions when he appears [OODA]. If odd guy seems to be aggressive, you will move into Level Red. This does not mean you will take defensive action, but that you are ready to do so if necessary.
Now you hear footsteps, and in a few seconds odd guy appears. You are very alert, attentive to every motion he makes, anything he might say. You are in the Loop. Hopefully, this can end peaceably, not in Level Black, but if it does go there, you can defend yourself.
Situational awareness is the first skill of self-defense. Almost always, it is the deciding factor. Be watchful all the way around. Be aware. Stay in the Loop.

I'm excited to announce my latest project: The Gospel Accordingly, a music collaboration with Brenden Sica released through Noise Jazz Records on May 28th.
The Gospel Accordingly is an album of original poetry set to original electronic compositions. The poems, along with their musical accompaniment, capture the anxieties and absurdities of current America. In a similar vein as T. S. Eliot's "The Waste Land" and Allen Ginsburg's "Howl," this sobering album examines the state of America today in a unique voice and soundscape.
This is my first album and first collaborative project as a professional writer. I am very proud of this album and the work Brenden and I have accomplished.

San Diego Comic Con was this weekend and studios decided to showcase their new and retuning television series and movies.
Fox released the first footage of the second season of the surprise hit series The Orville from Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane.
From Emmy Award-winning executive producer and creator Seth MacFarlane (FAMILY GUY, "Ted") and directed by Jon Favreau ("The Jungle Book," "Iron Man"), THE ORVILLE is a one-hour science fiction series set 400 years in the future that follows the adventures of the U.S.S. Orville, a mid-level exploratory vessel. Its crew, both human and alien, faces the wonders and dangers of outer space, while also dealing with the familiar, often humorous problems of regular people in a workplace…even though some of those people are from other planets, and the workplace is a faster-than-light spaceship.
In the 25th century, Earth is part of the Planetary Union, a far-reaching, advanced and mostly peaceful civilization with a fleet of 3,000 ships. Down on his luck after a bitter divorce, Planetary Union officer ED MERCER (MacFarlane) finally gets his chance to command one of these ships: the U.S.S. Orville. Determined to prove his worth and write a new chapter in his life, Ed finds that task all the more difficult when the First Officer assigned to his ship is his ex-wife, KELLY GRAYSON (Adrianne Palicki, "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," "Friday Night Lights"). As the new commander, Ed assembles a qualified, but eccentric crew, including his best friend, GORDON MALLOY (Scott Grimes, "ER," "Justified"), who has problems with authority, but is the best helmsman in the fleet; DR. CLAIRE FINN (Penny Johnson Jerald, "24," "The Larry Sanders Show"), one of the Union's most accomplished physicians; BORTUS (Peter Macon, "Shameless," "Bosch"), an alien from a single-sex species; ISAAC (Mark Jackson, "That Royal Today"), an artificial life-form from a machine society that thinks biological life-forms are inferior; navigator JOHN LAMARR (J. Lee, FAMILY GUY, "The Cleveland Show"), whose casual humor cuts through even the most dire situations; ALARA KITAN (Halston Sage, "Neighbors," "Goosebumps"), a young, inexperienced security officer whose home planet's high gravity gives her superior physical strength; and YAPHIT, a gelatinous creature voiced by comedian Norm Macdonald ("The Middle," "Saturday Night Live").
The Orville returns for its second season December 30th on Fox.

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to apply the generalizability theory (G-theory) to investigate dynamic and enduring patterns of subjective cognitive complaints (SCC), and reliability of two widely used SCC assessment tools. DESIGN: G-theory was applied to assessment scales using longitudinal measurement design with five assessments spanning 10 years of follow-up. SETTING: Community-dwelling older adults aged 70-90 years and their informants, living in Sydney, Australia, participated in the longitudinal Sydney Memory and Ageing Study. PARTICIPANTS: The sample included 232 participants aged 70 years and older, and 232 associated informants. Participants were predominantly White Europeans (97.8%). The sample of informants included 76 males (32.8%), 153 females (65.9%), and their age ranged from 27 to 86 years, with a mean age of 61.3 years (SD = 14.38). MEASUREMENTS: The Memory Complaint Questionnaire (MAC-Q) and the Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly (IQCODE). RESULTS: The IQCODE demonstrated strong reliability in measuring enduring patterns of SCC with G = 0.86. Marginally acceptable reliability of the 6-item MAC-Q (G = 0.77-0.80) was optimized by removing one item resulting in G = 0.80-0.81. Most items of both assessments were measuring enduring SCC with exception of one dynamic MAC-Q item. The IQCODE significantly predicted global cognition scores and risk of dementia incident across all occasions, while MAC-Q scores were only significant predictors on some occasions. CONCLUSIONS: While both informants' (IQCODE) and self-reported (MAC-Q) SCC scores were generalizable across sample population and occasions, self-reported (MAC-Q) scores may be less accurate in predicting cognitive ability and diagnosis of each individual.

The Magnum has a bit of a reputation in Resident Evil games as being one of the most powerful weapons you can obtain in almost every game, second only to the Rocket Launcher. They often deal devastating damage to enemies and often have little ammo in each of the games they appear in.
The magnum in Resident Evil 3 is highly missable, especially if you're on an adrenaline kick from either the section that came before it or just keen to keep the story going immediately. Most speedrunners and early players of the game missed it completely on their first run, so I'm here to let you know exactly how to grab it.
Following a key point in the story, you'll see yourself playing as Jill in the Spencer Memorial Hospital. With your trust lockpick, you'll probably want to unlock and explore the areas you couldn't previously. To put it quite simply, when you come to the door as pictured below, don't go through it. Instead, proceed deeper into the hospital instead, to the second floor corridors.
Instead, head to the mid-central branch of the corridors to find some furniture piled up just outside the entrance to the Nurses' Station. Ignore the Hunter. We got jumped unexpectedly ;_;. This is an area you couldn't access previously but can now access with Jill. Walk towards the gap and Jill will crawl through it. I've included the location on your map just in case it's not obvious.
Search around this very small area to find a bloodied window with yellow tape and broken glass. Approach this area and Jill will jump through it and land in the Courtyard below.
Once you're there, you should be able to find a box with the Magnum inside. You can then grab the weapon and enjoy it for the final act of the game. As a reminder, do not jump over any of the hedges here before grabbing the weapon as you will have to run back upstairs and repeat the process again. Not the end of the world, I guess, but worth saving you some frustration.
The Magnum is best used against bosses, obviously, but also will help with some of the more regenerative enemies in the coming areas. It takes MAG Rounds, which you can craft by combining a High Grade Gunpowder with another High Grade Gunpowder.

Discover Patagonia with Boragó's Rodolfo Guzmán
From pink apples to tangerine fungi, this wild tip of Chile yields some surprising ingredients for the pioneering chef
Even for the Chilean chef Rodolfo Guzmán, who has found ingredients for his dishes high in the Andes on the plains of the supernaturally dry Atacama desert, Patagonia was a place of extremes.
"What impacted me the most the first time I went to Patagonia was the silence," he writes in his new book, Boragó. "It was immense, like nothing I'd ever experienced before."
The windswept, sparsely populated region, at the farthest southern tip of South America, is part Chilean, part Argentinian, wholly beautiful, and home to a surprising variety of peculiar fauna and flora.
"It has short summers and long, cold winters, in addition to strong winds at certain times of the year," Guzmán explains. "It is also highly diverse in terms of ecosystems, thanks to the submersion of the Andes mountains that creates a whole ecosystem for sea species. In the cold sea off the coast of Patagonia, there are so many species that have unexpectedly intense flavours, such as the southern king crab, one of the most delicious species in the world."
Yet the seafood isn't the only ingredient Guzmán - who has made his career uncovering, refining and defining Chilean cuisine - found and brought back to his restaurant Boragó. Drawing on the local traditions of the Kawesqar and Tehuelche peoples, he uncovered plants such as puya, a delicate root which had never been domesticated before. Following his trip to Patagonia, Guzmán successfully cultivated the plant, and now includes home-grown puya in dishes at Boragó.
He also came across diguene, a local fungus that looks a lot like a fruit. "When you break them in half with your hands, they don't look like any other mushroom," he says. "They are bright orange, like a mandarin, and their texture is sturdy but a little sticky. They are commonly used in salty preparations. However, when split, it is clear that they can work well in desserts."
He also harvested genuine fruit, though again, appearances were deceptive. "Chauras are the true wild apples of Patagonia," he says. "They belong to two different families that range widely in colours and sizes, they all have a mild flavour and a crunchy texture. The wild pink apples have an acidic and floral flavour and are the most aromatic of all." He now serves these with lamb and vine leaves, offering Santiago's diners a refined take on one of the country's more extreme terroirs.
To find out how he combined these rare ingredients into some of today's finest gastronomic creations, order a copy of Boragó; and if you're hungry for more from the wild's of Chile, read about how the Andes, the Atacama desert, and the capital Santiago, influenced Guzmán's cookery.

Vertical Mile Challenge – June 15, 2019 – Rocky Face Recreational Area – Hiddenite NC
|A unique and challenging event. Bring your A game!
The course is approximately a 2 mile loop beginning and ending at the bottom of the rock face directly behind the parking lot at Rocky Face Recreation Area. It is paved for a bit and then becomes typical single-track trail and after approximately 1/2 mile begins the 500 feet climb up the face of the mountain. At the top of the climb the course reaches the Hollow Rock Trail (red blaze, typical single-track) and follows it down to the top of the lower rock face. At this point runners will follow the blue blaze down to the end of the loop at the start/finish area. Completing the loop eight times is about 16 miles and a vertical mile up and a vertical mile down.
The Vertical Mile Challenge will have an 8 hour cut-off. This cut-off will be done by only allowing those who have finished 7 loops by the end of 7 hours to continue onto the 8th loop. This cut-off is not a hard and fast rule. The event director may allow a few extra minutes at his discretion on a case by case basis.

For those of us who are so lucky to have a knitter in their lives, the biggest quandary of all is: WHAT TO GET A KNITTER AS A GIFT? Obviously, a knitter LOVES yarn, needles, tools, etc… but it's so hard to work out what the best yarn would be, or what kind of needles a knitter prefers. Gift certificates kind of work, but it's always fun to have something to unwrap — in particular if that something to unwrap is SHINY! Or perhaps you need a gift for your knitting self, in which case, I say SHINY!
Each set ordered will come lovingly wrapped in a red pillow box with gold cord, ready for putting in a stocking, placing under a tree, or immediately ripping open with delight for use!
REGULAR SIZE BOX GIFT SET — Each set contains 25 markers: two sets of ten markers in different sizes (random fabulous colors), and five movable markers, in a handy storage box.
SUPER SIZE BOX GIFT SET — Each set contains 40 markers: two sets of 15 markers in different sizes (again, random fabulous colors), and two sets of five movable markers, in a handy storage box.
To further confuse you, there are two varieties available in each box size: "MIDDLE OF THE ROAD," which contains round markers in US6/4mm, round markers in US10/6mm, and Reversa-Clippy double sided markers. "YOU'RE SO SQUARE," which contains square beaded markers in US6/4mm, square markers in US8/5mm, and Reversa-Clippy double sided markers.
"But BONNIE", I hear you say, "WHAT ABOUT THE PERSON WHO CROCHETS?"
WHAT THE #%@&! CROCHET HOOK WAS I USING? — You know how it is… you're working on a crochet project, and then you set it down or put it in "time out" for a while, but the crochet hook was separated from the project. You pick it up, and now you can't remember which hook you were using! You can guess, but that might turn out to be a mistake. Each marker is on a gold leverback earring hook, which will lock in place, so it won't come out of your project. The clasp should fit on almost all yarns, up to super bulky! Set of all eight available letters: F, G, H, I, J, K, L, and M.
SUPER KITTY FUN FUN SET! — The internet is DEFINITELY made for cats! This super set of stitch markers will be perfect for your knitting cat lover! This set comes with: 10 "Los Gatos Estan Todos en su Punto!" size US17/13mm stitch markers, 10 "Kittehs Can and Did Haz Cheezburger" size US13/9mm stitch markers, 10 "The Internet Is Made of Cats!" size US10/6mm stitch markers, and one "Kittehs Has Founds Yarnia!" Big Clippy Progress Keeper, all wrapped up in the red pillow box as shown.

Additionally, they can give you advanced features of bass boosting and noise-canceling, which is a valuable feature of this tech accessory in Pakistan. When buying this gadget, make sure you do it after proper research and based on testimonials.
They Look Good
The design of the wireless hand-free is both stylish and sophisticated. Even, some brands have sporty-looking designs as well. They also ensure that you can move around freely without the fear of them falling. What's more, is that some of them are extremely affordable despite their stylish design. However, be careful where you buy them from. There are many brands in the market offering this product, but not all of them are of good quality.

Aging is one thing you cannot avoid and it comes with its advantages, you become wiser and better experienced at handling things. However, it also takes a toll on your body with visible fine lines that highlight your age. These significant features make you self-conscious, especially when you read fashion magazines with images of the most beautiful skin you have ever seen. However, when you find a Westfield Botox expert, you can have a redefinition that will help you stand boldly like a celebrity.
Why do you need a Botox Procedure?
Your skin makes one of the most significant health statements when you meet your friends. Most probably, they will notice your skin first during your meetings. Botox is an injectable aesthetic product that can help you achieve the most magnificent looks, as it penetrates deep in the skin and eliminates most of the fine lines and other undesirable points on your face.
Botox has proven over the years as one of the top beauty products that can also help you deal with dynamic wrinkles—those that disappear and reappear independently. Other issues that Botox can deal with include:
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines
- Crow's feet
One shortcoming of Botox treatment is that you will need a reapplication every few months to enjoy a more redefined skin. You can find the treatment at Genesis Regenerative Sports and Aesthetic Medicine, where you can also get a schedule of when you can have a reapplication of the product for continuous better-looking skin.
How does Botox achieve better-looking skin?
Botox has various chemicals that make it the most preferred beauty treatment product. When injected into your skin, it has some natural toxins, which compels it to resolve some of the most challenging skin problems. The treatment focuses on your muscles, and once your doctor uses it on your face, some of your muscles freeze, limiting the formation of frown lines and deleting some wrinkles on your face. However, even with Botox in your skin, you will retain your ability to laugh and smile as it does not interfere with critical facial functions.
Can Botox be used with another treatment on your face?
Yes, your doctor will determine the right combinations of aesthetic products to improve your facial aesthetics. Additionally, whenever you visit Genesis Regenerative Sports and Aesthetic Medicine, your doctor will determine the right products to help fit into the beauty goals you have presented them during your initial examinations. The most common treatments to remedy your facial issue alongside Botox include:
- Chemical Peels: Involves the use of chemicals to remove the top layer of the skin and, in doing so exposing the lower one with better texture and looks.
- Dermaplaning: Involves the use of a razor to remove dead skin cells giving you better aesthetics
Redefine your looks by having a Botox procedure from Genesis Regenerative Sports and Aesthetic Medicine for a better-looking skin that will fit into your beauty goals. Achieve the best skin by calling or reaching the center via its website.

BU Love Stories
Meet couples whose romance started on campus in our Valentine's Day photo essay
If it's Valentine' Day, it must be time for BU Today's popular annual feature about couples whose path to the altar began at BU. This year we hear from people who began dating as students and others who connected only after graduation. And then there were some who met when they were both working on campus.
Our first Valentine's photo essay two years ago was an immediate hit. Ditto for last year's. So knowing a good thing when we see it, we bring you more episodes in our ongoing saga, Love on Comm Ave. Happy Valentine's Day.
Ruthie Beane Jean (CAS'95, SED'98) and Reggie Jean (CAS'95, SED'04) met in 1993 as BU summer orientation student advisors, but didn't start dating until 2000, after Reggie returned to Boston from New York, where he'd been teaching in elementary and middle school. Their first date told Ruthie a lot: Reggie, a passionate Yankees fan, took her to a Red Sox game. "He made me laugh so much that night that I was hoarse the next day," she recalls. "I figured if he could cross the team divide and we could have so much fun together, it was worth exploring this further." The couple married in 2005 and are the parents of five-year-old twin daughters, Cecilia and Jacqueline. And BU continues to play a big role in their lives—Ruthie is director of undergraduate programs at the College of Engineering, and Reggie is the director of the School of Education's Upward Bound college preparatory program.
Sometimes love starts with the simplest of requests. One day in their Criminal Law 101 class, Ryan Dreyer (CAS'09) asked Cynthia Cano (CAS'10) for a pen. At the time, Cynthia says, she "honestly never expected to see the pen again." The two became friends and began dating the following year. Fast-forward eight years: Ryan proposed to Cynthia in the classroom where they'd met. "We came full circle, literally, and without BU, we'd never have found each other," says Cynthia, now a litigation attorney in Boston. The couple married this past October and plan to open a pet resort business this summer called Unfurrgettable Pet Resort & Spa. We never did find out if Cynthia got her pen back.
Marilyn Langmaid Seminerio (CAS'49) and Rev. Steve Seminerio (CAS'49, STH'51) met in the Marsh Chapel Choir when they were sophomores. Steve had just returned to BU after joining the Marines at the end of freshman year. Luckily for both of them, Marilyn was listening closely that day during choir practice. "I heard a gorgeous tenor voice that wasn't there the year before," she recalls. A year passed before they began to date. "She was a vivacious person, and I just really liked her," Steve says. They married at Marsh Chapel in 1949, just six days after graduation. Their ties to the chapel include being acquainted with its namesake, Daniel L. Marsh (STH'08, Hon.'53), BU's fourth president. Steve says the secret to a happy marriage is "mutuality," which he defines as helping "each other as much as you can." Following his ordination, Steve served as a Methodist minister at churches throughout New England. The Seminerios have four children, four grandchildren, and a great-grandchild. And yes, they still sing together in the chapel at Newbury Court in Concord, Mass., where they now live.
Jackie Egan Cometz (Questrom'84) and David Cometz (CAS'84) met after Jackie and her roommate posted a flyer at Warren Towers freshman year looking for a date. "David was the only guy to apply for the job and he got it," Jackie says. After they started dating, they would frequently meet in a nearby stairwell so they wouldn't bother their roommates. They now live in Mount Laurel, N.J., and own and operate General Floor, a wholesale flooring company in Bellmawr, N.J. Their daughter Jillian (Questrom'19) followed in their BU footsteps. Jackie and David were photographed in the stairwell of General Floor, a nod to their days at Warren Towers.
Rachel Sprung Leist (COM'11, Questrom'11) and Eric Leist (COM'10) met in 2007 at the College of Communication orientation and later became friends as members of the Public Relations Student Society of America. Rachel was president of the society and Eric was vice president. They started dating in 2010. When he proposed in May 2015, Eric surprised Rachel with not only a ring, but with Milo, an adorable maltipoo puppy. The couple, who live in Boston, were married in June 2017. They were photographed—along with Milo—on the COM lawn, near where Eric asked Rachel to marry him.
Laughter, pumpkin bread, and Dungeons and Dragons. That's what drew Rebecca Kinraide (CAS'94) and Tobias Drewry together. They met at BU in 2006 when Rebecca began teaching in the College of Arts & Sciences Writing Program and Tobias was working as an analyst consultant for BU's academic computing program. Tobias was passing by a colleague's office one day, and he heard Rebecca laughing. "I was completely compelled to investigate because the laughter was fantastic," he says. After being introduced, Rebecca mentioned that she was looking to connect with a Dungeons and Dragons playing group. Coincidentally, Tobias was a member of one at the time. Rebecca first won the group over with her pumpkin bread, then solidified her standing with her playing skills. As for what drew her to Tobias: "He had a great laugh. He was handsome and fun. He was a gamer and he was geeky." Rebecca is now a Writing Program master lecturer, and Tobias is a computer programmer. They own Mesa Mundi, a full-service hardware and software solution provider with expertise in multiformat displays, augmented and virtual reality, and videoconferencing displays in Sharon, Mass, where they live with their children, nine-year-old Adric and six-year-old Eowyn.
Call it a fateful fork in the road: Zenda Thomas Sims (COM'99) and Obie Sims (Questrom'98) met at the utensil counter in the GSU Food Court when Zenda's roommate bumped (literally) into Obie's roommate while grabbing forks. According to Obie, the moment "immediately led to a lot of jokes and a lot of laughs." Laughter, in fact, has been a defining part of their relationship for nearly two decades. "I love Obie's sense of humor," says Zenda. "When other couples socialize individually at parties, I always want to be at the table with Obie, because he can lighten up a serious conversation like no other." For his part, Obie has this to say: "Zenda is a ball of love. She just has so much sincerity and caring in her eyes." Zenda, Obie, and their daughters, six-year-old Zoe and four-year-old Chloe, live in Bethesda, Md.

Android Go phones will be available soon
Google says the first models will debut at MWC next week.
Android Oreo had quite the interesting feature lurking in its software: Go Edition, which was designed for smartphones with 1 GB of RAM or less. Today, the company announced that the first set of Android Oreo (Go Edition) phones will be unveiled next week and be available for purchase soon after that.
Over the last few months, Google has been introducing lightweight "Go" editions of its popular apps, such as Gmail and Google Assistant. It's a concerted effort and catering to a traditionally underserved market in tech: Those who have older phones and who have purchased newer, but cheaper, phones. It's especially important in developing areas, where people might not be able to afford the newest, most powerful phones. Now Google will give those users hardware that is dedicated to and optimized for Android Oreo (Go Edition).
Catch up on the latest news from MWC 2018 right here.

What You Should Avoid When Going Hiking
It might come as a surprise that many people are firmly devoted to hiking. This sport involves walking through routes or trails that have been preapproved and identified.
The routes or trails that you have to take are marked off in different colors. These colors indicate the level of difficulty of each of the trails. Going hiking isn't just about following a map or getting some exercise, though. Another important point regarding this sport is that you can enjoy natural landscapes.
Anyone can get involved with this sport. That's because there are trails for every level of hiker: experts, beginners, and intermediate enthusiasts. The trails vary according to difficulty. Other than being a recreational activity, hiking is very beneficial to the health of its practitioners.
Mistakes you should avoid when hiking
As with any activity, there are certain points or errors that experts recommend you avoid. It's especially important for you to heed such advice when you're just getting started with any new activity.
There are, of course, risks and mistakes in hiking as well, even though it may seem that the sport involves nothing more than walking. It's not the same to walk around a town or a city as it is to walk through mountains. The following are the most common errors beginners make that they would do best to avoid.
Going hiking alone
Even though doing certain physical activities alone can be very satisfying, in the case of hiking, it's important not to do it alone. Experts recommend that you go with another person or with a group. In this way, if any problems arise, there are people who can help and support you.
Ignoring the fact that there are risks
Even when we're talking about trails that are considered easy, it's very important not to become overconfident and think that nothing can happen. In hiking, there's no zero-risk trail. That's why you have to stay alert, be careful, and pay attention to any signs you see. If you feel unsafe at any point, the best option is to go back to the starting point.
Walking fast to try and get through the trail as quickly as possible
This is a common mistake in these types of activities. Hiking isn't a race. As such, experts recommend that you take all the time necessary to enjoy the walk, the landscapes, and the nature around you. You should maintain a relaxed and constant pace because that will make the whole experience more pleasant for you.
The difficulty of hiking will depend on each participant's physical state, the type of terrain, the duration of the session, the participant's experience, and other variables.

Going hiking without any type of specialized equipment
Experts recommend that you have the appropriate technical equipment when you go hiking. Typically required equipment is mountain clothing, appropriate footwear, and other athletic equipment. It's important to consider this aspect, as some accidents arise because of the lack of appropriate equipment.
Along these lines, a backpack is an essential component of hiking. It should be organized correctly. Also, you should be sure to wear weather-appropriate clothing and foresee any weather changes.
Going hiking without using any system of navigation
Even though hiking trails are clearly marked, it often happens that people become disoriented and get lost. Because of this fact, it's a good idea to include some extra navigation support. Some good examples are: a compass, maps, a GPS system, or some navigation system on your cell phone.
Beyond navigation systems or devices you might use, it's important to pay attention to the signals and characteristics in your environment for identifying reference points.
Failure to foresee weather issues
Before going hiking, it's important to research weather forecasts for the trip. You have to prepare yourself for different weather conditions such as rain, harsh winds, or extreme sunshine.
Failure to adapt to group conditions for the trail
If you're going hiking with someone or with a group, it's essential to keep the group conditions in mind so as to plan out the appropriate trail. This way, the group will keep a constant pace appropriate to its abilities. You will also avoid group members getting lost or delays during the session.

Failure to tell people the details of the activity
Before setting off, experts recommend that you tell your family or friends about the exact trail you intend to follow. It's also a good idea to give them relevant information with regard to how long you intend to be out, who you intend to go with, and any contact numbers where they can reach you. It's just a matter of common-sense security.

Southern Utah is treated, perhaps, to the first signs of spring in the State. With the exception of extreme southwestern Utah, southeastern Utah begins to see climbing temperatures as early as late March. For example, in April, it is usually warmer in Bluff than in Cedar City. Thus, a great springtime escape for northern Utahns would be to head for the moderate climes of southeastern Utah. This ride travels through some of southeastern Utah's amazing scenery, enabling the cyclist to see some of the State's most well-known sights and images, while getting a fantastic workout.
The Meanders to Monuments Classic is a 64.9-mile out-and-back ride having a net elevation difference of 1,605 feet. There are no steep climbs or descents, but there are several long, gradual upgrades and downgrades. The ride starts at out-of-the-way Goosenecks State Park, located along the San Juan River, north of the Navajo Nation boundary, just beyond the far eastern boundary of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. If names such as Moki Dugway, Valley of the Gods, Mexican Hat Rock, and The Tabernacle ring a bell, thing you know where this is. If not, then the best way to get here – and the out-of-the-way location adds to the mystique – is to head southeast from the Salt Lake City area to Moab, via I-15, U.S. Route 6, I-70, and U.S. Route 191. Continue heading south from Moab on US 191, through Monticello, Blanding, and Bluff. Beyond Bluff, continue heading westward on U.S. 163 rather than on U.S. 191, which heads south into Arizona. Turn right on State Route (SR) 261, and then left onto SR 163. Drive 3.5 miles to the end of the highway, at Goosenecks State Park. This is where the ride begins.
Goosenecks State Park overlooks the deep meanders of the San Juan River. The depth of the canyon here is about 1,000 feet. The dramatic incisions made by the river, carved over thousands of years, create a stunning visual. From your left to your right, panning the near horizon, the river "goosenecks" through ten miles over a straight-line distance of about three. I arrived here at dusk once, running late, such that the darkness prevented me from seeing the bottom of the canyon. I was the only soul around, and I could hear the faint sounds of the chasm, only imagining its depth! There are vault toilets at the park, but no water, so be sure to bring your own. From a starting elevation of 4,980 feet, SR 316 descends gradually to the junction with SR 261 (which is part of the Trail of the Ancients Scenic Byway). Turn right here, at mile 3.5, and ride to US 163 (mile 4.4). Turn right and head south. Along the way, well off to your right, you may be able to spot the top of The Tabernacle, which is a nearly island land mass that has been carved out by the twisting San Juan River. To your left, along SR 163, is Mexican Hat Rock, a formation that resembles a balancing sombrero. The formation is so famous that the next town is named Mexican Hat! This a small but extremely scenic settlement, established adjacent the river. There is a lodge and a trading post here. At the edge of town, SR 163 makes a sharp, left-hand bend to cross the San Juan River. This is the low elevation of the ride (4,110 feet).
From the river, SR 163 climbs gradually. The only real negative aspect of this segment of the ride is the highway's narrow shoulder. Yet, the highway is famous, even in cycling lore, having been ridden as part of the Race Across America route, and as a regular segment in the Race Across the West. Nonetheless, ride cautiously, especially on curves. The turnoff to the town of Halchita is at mile 9.55. This segment of SR 163 is essentially entirely within the Navajo Nation, as reflected in that fact that some 98% of Halchita's several-hundred residents are Native-American. The traffic volume on SR 163 increases southwest of Halchita (up to 2,100 vehicles per day). The landscape out here is marked by a vivid red color, generated by iron oxides exposed within the mostly siltstone floor of the valley. There are also some darker, blue-gray colors generated by manganese oxide. The numerous fissures and canyons have been carved by washes and springs over the years. Millions of years ago, this area featured volcanic activity. With the extinction of the volcanoes came the subsidence of the land, exposing volcanic "plugs" that have remained resistant to erosion. Hence, the peaks, spires and spikes that you see out here are the remnants of ancient volcanoes. The high elevation of the ride at Monument Pass (5,715 feet), crossed at mile 19.2, marks the gateway to Monument Valley. Here, the numerous sentinels of the valley come into clear view, including the iconic West and East Mittens. It is a gradual descent across the valley.
Monument Valley is etched into many a person's vision of the old American West, in part because of filmmaker John Ford's repeated use of the region for his Westerns. These included such classics as "Stagecoach" and "The Searchers," among others. As the monuments get close enough to touch, turn left onto Monument Valley Road (elevation 5,202 feet at mile 24.8), and head southeast. The road enters Arizona, climbing gradually to the end of the road, at the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park's visitor center (elevation 5,607 feet). There may be a fee ($20 for motor vehicles; unknown for bicycles). This is the turnaround point of the ride (mile 32.45). Be sure to replenish your water here. If you have time, though, take a break and visit the center. Or, better yet, take a guided tour!
The return ride features a gradual descent to SR 163 (2.1% grade), a long, gradual climb to Monument Pass (1.7% grade), an even longer, gradual descent to Mexican Hat (2.0% grade), and then a gradual climb to Goosenecks State Park (2.0% grade). The scenic views and icons along this ride, now seen from a different perspective, keep things interesting and memorable for the entire route. As you return to Goosenecks State Park, be sure to slow down at the end of the road, as there is no barrier between you and the incisions!

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is probably like no others. The festive atmosphere that typically characterizes Hanoi's Hang Ma Street or Saigon's Nguyen Hue Walking Street, brightly lit with lanterns and other accoutrements around this time, is clearly absent.
That being said, have yourself a piece of mooncake, sipping tea while enjoying displays of lanterns (on TV maybe) with your loved ones and you can still celebrate the full moon in style.
And how about learning must-know words about this special occasion as well? 🙂
P.S. My favorite mooncake flavor is mixed nuts with salted egg yolk. What about yours?

Gaddafi regime produced chemical weapons, David Cameron confirms
Thomas Harding
David Cameron said British chemical warfare specialists would join an international team to dispose of the weapons.
In the last few days we have learnt that the new Libyan authorities have found chemical weapons that were kept hidden from the world, he said during a speech at the Lord Mayor's banquet in London.
It is understood that the weapons were developed without the knowledge of inspectors who were in Libya before the international military intervention in March. The news gave greater weight to the decision to intervene in Libya, which declared an end to its weapons of mass destruction programme after the Americans invaded Iraq in 2003.

Image: "Your passport, citizen" by Erick Perez Jorge Mota
Following the universal law of Cuban telephone lines, after the downpour on Wednesday my phone died. "No line," was the post-mortem note, in English, on the little handset screen. On Thursdays we reported the outage several times because, as the experts say, the more reports that are made about the same break, the faster ETECSA will come.
On Friday I canceled all my plans and prepared to wait for the technician. Hours passed: I read, I wrote, I scrubbed and cleaned, I didn't talk to anyone all day and had time to speculate. I came to the conclusion that there was a high percentage of probability that the technician who services me also has a small job with the Department of State Security (DSE). At six in the evening my theory became an absolute certainty. I went out and called the users-service-line to ask them to tell me, if not the hour, at least the day my repair is scheduled for: "I'm sorry, we do not have that information, it could be any day between eight in the morning and four in the afternoon."
Anticipating that the wait could be extended to September, I tried to cover the month of August in morning and afternoon watches with my friends. If I had to leave home for some emergency, I had to call my mother so she could rush over and not leave the house empty. Life is like that, you just have to wait longer than expected and stop looking for the guy to turn up.
My and Ciro's time was the most affected, of course. I told him about my theory of the technician moonlighting for the DSE, and he looked at me with that face he makes when he thinks I'm being paranoid. There are those in Cuba who think everyone is from State Security, even if it's proven otherwise.
I was wrong. Saturday at eight-thirty in the morning the man in question showed up. He didn't give us time to make bets about his Security origins. He looked terrified, poor thing. He came in and before saying "Good morning," he asked, "Do you have a modem connected?"
The little box for my phone line is in the bedroom, behind the bed. He was tinkering with it under my scrutinizing gaze. It looked like he didn't put a microphone in it, but one never knows. Either way, the things I talk about in bed are inconsequential. He said the problem wasn't in the box and that he would have to make a sketch of all the wiring in the house. I put on my I-don't-think-so face when Ciro's voice came from the living room, "It's already fixed."
We left the bedroom. I started to feel guilty toward the guy. At the end of the day, he had fixed my problem and my cogitations, I thought, seemed as fantastical as the reflections of comrade Fidel.
"Would you like a coffee?" I asked, with the idea of lowering his guard.
I couldn't get to the kitchen because he decided to make a call.
Previous position: On guard!
I stood a few inches away with the obvious intention of overhearing what he was saying. I didn't understand a thing. I think he used slang and hung up quickly. I must have been staring, I was really surprised. How is it possible that one can't understand someone speaking Spanish less than a yard away in a quiet atmosphere? With the satisfaction of having been proved right, and the discomfort of having a security agent in the room, I went to put the coffee on. He started a conversation.
"Did you see the Roundtable show yesterday?" he asked Ciro.
"Our TV is very bad."
"A man talked about the global economic collapse."
But Ciro was not intimidated, "Well, according to Karl Marx, in the future there will be no money, no leaders."
The guy was a little disconcerted. I put his coffee in front of him and didn't say a single word.
"There will always be leaders."
" Really? What do you call the president of Sweden, or Denmark or Finland?"
That was the last thing I caught. I didn't want to be a part of it, although it was cracking me up. Suddenly everything had become extremely hilarious. He drank the coffee quickly and left. We made bets later, which are ongoing: State security or not State security?

Catholic Heritage of Mexico 2018 with Guadalupe and more
26 November 2018 to 05 December 2018
You can watch the full length Pilgrimage below or download it here.
Farewells & Comments from Amazing Mexico!
It's always sad to say goodbye to people after being with them 9 or 10 days. This pilgrimage through Mexico went flawlessly. We emphasized Guadalupe and the Catholic heritage of this land but also the cultural, historical, and fun aspects. We enjoyed the close contact and fellowship with the Mexican people .
Everyone had a great time and the fears that Americans tend to have, and the preconceived ideas of what Mexico is like, were all blown to pieces. Mexico is a beautiful, safe, clean and Catholic country.
Here are the comments and thoughts as shared by the pilgrims.
About the Pilgrimage
Dear Miranda (Corporate Travel and Steve Ray) –
Your email was a lovely gift to receive upon our return home late last night. We really appreciate the photos, email list, and info from Roberto.
This pilgrimage was beautiful and inspiring. And, in the style that Steve is known for, it was also elegant and filled with many exceptional meals of local cuisine. Most of all, though, the visit to the shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe encouraged and comforted me in my faith, at a time in our Church when there is so much that is trying to pull us down. I never for a moment felt unsafe. On the contrary, I felt God's love.
Thank you for your part in this memorable trip,
We will be joined by one of our favorite priests, Fr. James Conlon who has been a chaplain on many of our pilgrimages.
See my blog: Mexico: Why NOT to go and Why TO Go.
Some people worry about safety in Mexico, but traveling in a group with a charter bus and very knowledgeable local guide and escort, I assure you, Mexico City is safer than many major tourist destinations in the U.S. We have done this trip before with no problems and a sense of safety in a very modern part of Mexico.
One of the three great Marian apparitions, Guadalupe is OURS, centering on the Western hemisphere. We will spend a whole day in Guadalupe with a guided tour and Mass in the morning with the afternoon free to pray and explore.
This is a 10-day exciting, jam-packed pilgrimage and tour of Mexico. Not just a few days at Guadalupe! Explore and immerse yourself in the amazing faith of the Mexican people.
It would be a shame to come all the way down to Mexico City and not see everything else this amazing country has to offer Catholic pilgrims. We will spend time seeing the sites in the city with Mass at the cathedral, seeing the old Aztec Temples and discussing their religion of human sacrifice, relating it our own culture today.
We will also travel into the countryside to visit the ancient pyramids, renew baptismal vows in the oldest baptismal font in the Americas that goes back to Cortez. Visiting San Miguel and Puebla and the beautiful countryside and the historical churches. We will also renew our baptismal vows in the first holy water font in the New World brought by Cortez in 1519.
We will discuss at length the suffering and trials of the Mexican Catholics and the impact of the Cristeros. Boats on teh canals, arguing with the atheistic murals of Diego Rivera, walking through exotic markets, taking cooking lessons and eating the finest food Mexico has to offer.
This is a safe trip. The areas we tour are wonderful, free of danger and clean and friendly.

New exit ramp system opens this week, Drivers to exit sooner than usual
Motorists traveling on southbound Interstate 95 (I-95) exiting to U.S. 92 (International Speedway Boulevard), westbound Interstate 4 (I-4), and eastbound State Road (S.R.) 400 (Beville Road) will do so at a new location, sooner than they usually would exit I-95, starting the morning of Friday, June 28.
A new ramp system called a collector-distributor road, which is separated from and parallel to southbound I-95, will open, servicing three exit ramps: 260 A, B, and C. The collector-distributor road will service drivers that want to exit from southbound I-95 to U.S. 92 (International Speedway Boulevard), westbound I-4, and eastbound S.R. 400 (Beville Road). The exit numbers 260A/B/C for U.S. 92, I-4, and S.R. 400 will not change.
Electronic message boards and other signs will be placed to alert drivers to the new traffic pattern. Drivers who miss the exit will need to travel to S.R. 421 (Taylor Road) and return on northbound I-95.
To make the traffic switch to the new collector-distributor road detours will need to take place overnight from 10 p.m. Thursday, June 27, to 6 a.m. Friday, June 28, requiring southbound I-95 to be closed between LPGA Boulevard and I-4. This includes the southbound I-95 on ramps from both directions of U.S. 92 (International Speedway Boulevard).During the closure, the posted detours will be:
- Traffic from southbound I-95
- Motorists will take Exit 265 for LPGA Boulevard and go east where they turn right onto southbound Williamson Boulevard to S.R. 400 (Beville Road) to access southbound I-95 and westbound I-4.
- Traffic from eastbound and westbound U.S. 92 (International Speedway Boulevard)
- Motorists will be directed to take southbound Williamson Boulevard to S.R. 400 (Beville Road) to access southbound I-95.
Please note that schedules may change due to weather or other circumstances. Media inquiries should be directed to the FDOT Communications Office at [email protected], or by phone at 386-943-5473.
FDOT urges all drivers to stay alert and use caution while driving through or near construction zones. When driving, walking, or bicycling, remember to pay attention and follow the rules. Safety doesn't happen by accident.
