Honors and Recognitions
Gym at M.A. Binford to be Named for PE Teacher
Janice Saavedra Dedicated 23 Years to the School
Mary Ann Binford Elementary School will dedicate the school's gymnasium in honor of beloved coach Janice Saavedra who had taught at the school for 23 years at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 14, at the school, 1400 Corriz SW. A reception will follow the dedication at Holy Rosary Catholic Church.
Saavedra dedicated her career to Mary Ann Binford Elementary and its community. She was well respected by peers and parents. And she was loved by her students. She lost her long battle with cancer in July 2010. On Jan. 19, the APS Board of Education unanimously approved naming the gym at Mary Ann Binford the "Janice Saavedra Gymnasium."
Saavedra began her career as a fifth grade teacher. She became the physical education teacher a couple of years later. She dedicated all 23 years of her career to Mary Ann Binford Elementary.
Her gift of teaching was evident by the students' enthusiasm to attend her PE classes. She started the play day year-end outdoor celebration, which has become a much anticipated end of the year event. In addition, she implemented the annual Fun Run for 22 years to help promote fitness. This event now bears her name. This year the Janice Saavedra Fun Run will be held on Saturday, May 7.
Saavedra also was a school leader. She served on many school committees, providing a respected leadership for the staff. She was also ready to help staff members. In addition, she was welcoming to new teachers and made them feel at home. She was instrumental in implementing the Conflict Mediation Program, which is the longest standing conflict mediation program in the state. She put countless hours of work into the program to ensure a safe and peaceful environment at Mary Ann Binford.
Saavedra also was crucial in organizing the after-school program at Mary Ann Binford, providing both academic support and sports programs for students.

SOUTH BEND, In. — After a three point loss to the Indiana Hoosiers, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish will have to shift gears quickly to Dartmouth, as the Big Green are traveling to South Bend for a Tuesday night match-up inside Purcell Pavilion.
This will be the sixth meeting between the Irish and the Big Green, with Notre Dame holding a 5-0 lead. These two teams last met back in 2011, when the Irish rolled past the Big Green, 65-47.
Per ESPN, Notre Dame has a 97% chance to win this game against Dartmouth, but the Fighting Irish cannot afford to take the Ivy League school lightly. The Irish should have blown out Indiana, as they were the better team, but they continued to let them back in it. Notre Dame can't afford to let any of their opponents back in it, regardless of how weak they may seem.
After the struggles they have had in their last few non-conference games, Notre Dame must give the same attention to the Big Green as they would teams like the Duke Blue Devils.
Scouting Report
The Dartmouth Big Green are 3-5 on the season, and are coming off a loss to the UIC Flames of the Horizon League, 76-60.
Dartmouth sits among the bottom half of the Ivy League based on their non-conference record alone, but will continue to be one of the weaker teams in the conference as the season progresses.
The Big Green average almost 70 points per game, having not scored more than 78 points all year, and give up almost the same amount each contest.
They don't have an overly big team, and are fairly young with 10 players that are either a sophomore or freshman. The Big Green struggle with depth just like the Fighting Irish, as they only rely on the efforts of seven players.
Five players average double digit figures, with their next two scoring six to seven points per game, but after that, their next player only contributes 1.8 points per game.
Three Players to Watch
Brendan Barry
Having scored in double digits in every contest except for their 76-60 loss to the Canisius Golden Griffins, the Big Green's leading scorer, Brendan Barry, averages 12.4 points per game, to go along with 2.4 rebounds and three assists per game.
Scoring only 10 points in Dartmouth's loss to UIC in their last outing, Barry will need to increase his scoring production if the Big Green are to have any shot of winning on Tuesday.
Miles Wright
While Miles Wright is the leading rebounder for the Big Green, he has never grabbed more than seven in a game this season; and that kind of performance came in their first game of the season back in November.
But here's the funny part: he's a guard and is leading the team in rebounds, standing 6″5 feet tall. He is averaging more than the tallest player on the Big Green, in Will Emery (6'9"), who only averages 3.8 rebounds per game. Granted, he gets 10 less minutes of playing time than Wright.
Wright is scoring only 0.1 less points per game than Brendan Barry, at 12.3, and is grabbing 4.6 rebounds per game.
Taylor Johnson
The 6″4 senior from Fort Worth, Texas is coming off a quiet game against UIC, in which he only scored seven points after dropping 29 points and grabbing five rebounds against the Maine Black Bears in the previous game before that.
Leading the team in assists, the guard averages 12 points per game and 3.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists.
If Johnson can explode for another 20 point game like he did against Maine, where he went 11 for 13 from the field, the Big Green might have a chance.
On paper, this should not be a close game at all. Dartmouth doesn't possess any players who put up consistent flashy numbers or have the talent to take down an Irish team hungry to find an identity.
If Dartmouth wants to have any chance of winning, they need to get the Irish in foul trouble, making them turn to their unproven bench for production, as well as needing their top scorers to put up 20 points.
But I don't foresee that happening, considering the Irish are playing better defense and have more size than the Big Green. The Irish will bounce back in a big way.
Notre Dame – 90
Dartmouth – 54
– R. Scarfone

Sperm Hand
I'm in Calgary for the next little while working on a show called "Munich Now" for One Yellow Rabbit (www.oyr.org) at the ever-amazing High Performance Rodeo. The "Rodeo" is arguably the most lauded and exciting international performing arts festivals in Canada. This is my fifth festival in six years, one year because of boring bureaucratic issues, and all with One Yellow Rabbit.
Promo aside I am here for a few weeks and in the past when I've been in Calgary I have worked out at World Health Club. Due to some drama within the organization my Edmonton membership doesn't work in Calgary anymore, I was left a bit far afield when it came to exercising and the training plan I was on!
10k, motherfuckers!
But you wanna know where "Sperm Hand" fits into all this and you're sitting there reading this and thinking... "BORING! BRING ON SPERM HANDS!"
I'm getting there. I swear.
As you also may or may not know it's January and many many humans have embarked on resolutions to "get fit!" and "lose weight!" and whatever else. Personally, I'm not a big resolutionist and try to avoid sweeping statements and promises I am sure to fail at! The perks of resolutions is that MANY fitness and wellness options are on sale! Since I can't hit up my usual gym and it's VERY difficult to join a gym for a single month without paying in blood and gold I decided that January would be a yoga month. I found a great studio with a great schedule and signed up.
Now we're getting to Sperm Hand.
As you begin to spend more and more time at place you start to recognize the regulars. I've been at yoga 4-5 days/week and have begun to see patterns of people; create memories of their austentatious mats; and observe the apparent religiosity some people feel toward lulu lemon.
One such of these is a stunning middle-aged women. She has a beautiful, strong and balanced practice and can stand on her head like a champ. Basically, a yoga hero. She also has this beautiful mat with what look like hand drawn flowers on it.
The problem? This goddess has no ability to control the volume of her voice. At all. She is loud enough to the point that I sort of hate being in class with her.
I get there early, choose my spot as enjoy the 10-15 minutes before class trying to put aside whatever bullshit I'm obsessing about and just be present. If I can't do this I'm almost assured to be a fallen warrior. Get it? I fall over in warrior postures...
So, a couple of days ago this woman plants her may in the row in front of me and one mat length to the left. Just before she settles into her pre-practice posture she says, in her abrasively loud voice,
"pardon" I whisper.
"it's a balloon; not a sperm. it looks like a balloon."
"it really isn't..."
I'm still trying to whisper but I'm annoyed and so are the people around me. It's a very serious studio full of people who take their practice very seriously. The lithe yogini beside me looks ready to to breathe fiery lion's breath all over this woman...
While I'm siting there trying to speak quietly to her she has gotten up from her mat and come over to me. I look up and she grabs my hand...
"it is a balloon."
I don't respond.
Everyone? Really? I would love to see the data that proves that EVERYONE ever thinks my cute little balloon is sperm.
And back she goes to her mat and lays down happy in her certainty that the balloon tattooed on my hand is, in fact, sperm. It's isn't.
I sigh, and try to relax again. I look over at the my yogini neighbour and nod an apology. She smiles and whispers, "I like the balloon".
Needless to say I spent the majority of that 75 minutes barely holding onto my balance and fantasing about pummeling her with a yoga block. Are those blocks like bags of oranges? Would they leave no marks while causing massive internal injuries? Hmm...
Ok. Not really. Killing people is stupid. Killing stupid people feels even more stupid.
And, I actually feel pretty ok with sperm, just not tattooed on my hand and not screamed about at me in yoga studio.
So, sperm?

Every vehicle built since 1996 has been equipped with an On-Board Diagnostics System that monitors engine performance. Discrepancies in performance levels are reported through your vehicle's computer system. Once the "check engine" or "service engine" light is displayed, your next step should be to seek out an engine diagnostic service or an engine tune-up. Engine diagnostics allow our staff to gather helpful information about the operating condition of your engine. The insights obtained during an engine diagnostic will determine the extent of suggested engine repairs. The most common diagnostic trouble codes are generated in response to malfunctions in the powertrain. Ultimately, regular engine tune-ups are necessary to optimize engine performance. A tune-up is also one of the most effective ways to prevent unexpected engine trouble. During an engine tune-up, our staff may replace the spark plugs, spark plug wires, air filter, fuel filter, and distributor cap and rotor in your vehicle. Our experts will also check emission levels, fuel lines, and belts and hoses. Engine diagnostics and regular engine tune-ups can help extend the life of your vehicle and improve the health of your engine.
While regular engine maintenance will help ensure that your engine always performs at peak conditions, there are also signs you can look for that indicate an engine repair service is needed. The "check engine" or "service engine" light is a sure sign that your engine should be looked at by an expert sooner than later. Most of the time, your vehicle's On-Board Diagnostics System will detect an engine issue and store the corresponding repair code, which can be accessed by a member of our service staff. Slow-cranking, rough idling, stalling, knocking, or pinging while accelerating are all signs that you should seek engine repairs or engine diagnostics to determine the full extent of your engine trouble. A decrease in gas mileage and detectable loss of power during acceleration are also signs of an impending engine tune-up or engine repair service. Engine warning lights help alert drivers to minor issues before they become major repairs. Be sure to follow up with our staff once your vehicle's On-Board Diagnostics System detects a problem with your engine.

Title: The Corridor of Uncertainty
Author: Nihar Suthar
Published: 2016
Pages: 192
Genre: Sports/Games
Format: Print copy mailed by author
My rating: 3/5
In 1979, Afghanistan erupted into one of the most brutal civil wars ever. The fighting lasted almost a decade, throwing the country into a period of political instability, harsh leadership, and extreme danger. Hundreds of thousands of civilians died, and millions relocated to refugee camps. The rest of the world began to believe that violence would always define Afghans.
However, deep in the refugee camps of Pakistan, displaced native Afghan children had a dream to unite their country once again with peace. The solution was disguised in the game of cricket. These children began to learn cricket, and persevered against the danger, criticism, and unrest to create the first-ever Afghan national cricket team.
With unrivaled access to the team and players during the 2015 Cricket World Cup, Nihar Suthar tells the story of their inspiring journey to change Afghanistan in one of the most under-told, heart-warming sports stories of all time.
The untold stories are the ones that reel us in, get us to believe in something real and bigger than what we previously have known. I felt that with this story of the Afghan cricket team and the 20 year undertaking for them to succeed and achieve their dreams. As an American, what I knew about Afghanistan and the Middle East stemmed from 9/11 when I was in middle school. This story breaks the mold of pre-conceived notions about the country and its inhabitants. We are able to see people as human and not in a comparison to the negative connotations of what history has unraveled in the country. That is the sheer beauty of international sports – the culture and communication as well as the shared passion and skill regardless (or in spite) of national/financial troubles, being able to set that aside for a commonality.
Beyond the challenges of a country at war, the players of the national cricket team of Afghanistan had their own personal battles to choose when it came to their teammates as well as proving their legitimacy to be named and supported as an official team. They were able to overcome all the challenges and inspire a nation and its youth to aim higher and make something of themselves amidst fighting. The theme of the corridor of uncertainty is a wondrous thought since there is risk associated with either path one takes – both in cricket and in life. We were able to see that in multiple contexts as well as the namesake term during the matches. However, it turned into a repetitive statement within most chapters and seemed forced – the message is clear without the incessant reminders. There is a reality here of dynamics and stages we go through when dreaming big, and I am appreciative of that reminder that we can see change, it just takes passion, perseverance, and time.
Some memorable and relate-able quotes to leave you with:
"It reinterpreted the corridor to mean much more than just an area on a cricket pitch with the trickiest and most menacing delivery. Instead, it defined the term as an entire country torn apart by uncertainty, complication , and extreme danger" (Suthar 16)
"However, balls thrown to the corridor of uncertainty are unpredictable. They are never as straightforward as they appear. Batsmen face surprises as the deliveries spin and curve all over the place. The Afghan players had a lot of surprises coming their way as well. In fact, that was when the bombings in Afghanistan began" (Suthar 103)
Read The Corridor of Uncertainty if you like the themes of:
- Sports
- Middle East history
- Inspirational stories

Attorneys for Britney Spears, Kevin Federline, an L.A. County attorney representing Child Protective Services and Gloria Allred are meeting now at L.A. County Courthouse, hammering out details of the estranged couple's child-custody case. "Council for both parties were escorted by L.A. County sheriff's deputies to an undisclosed room, here at the courthouse," L.A. Superior Court PIO Alan Perichini tells OK!
"They have some serious issues to discuss. We needed to take some steps to make sure their talks are done in privacy." They didn't talk in the courtroom because "the court has other business," Perichini said. "This is a very high-volume courtroom."
Attorney Gloria Allred, accompanied by a man identified as her famed "mystery witness" — a former Spears bodyguard named Tony Barretto — told OK! she was heading to the hush-hush meeting. Allred filed an ex-parte motion a few days ago, telling the court she had a secret witness who could blow the lid off Britney's claims of being a good parent. "We're waiting to see if my witness will testify in court," Alfred tells OK!
Other attorneys at the closed meeting include Britney's former attorneys, Laura Wasser and Dennis Wasser, and Federline's legal rep, Mark Vincent Kaplan, plus a group of deputies standing guard outside the room. "Counsel wants to confer in private, so that's what the court is letting them do," Perchini says. Melvin Goldsman told OK! that he and fellow attorney Marci Levine will be taking over from Laura Wasser as Britney's reps.
In other shocking Britney news, Entertainment Tonight is reporting that both the Los Angeles Police Department and the FBI are investigating a claim that a contract hit may have been taken out on Kevin's life! Who may have ordered the hit? Stay tuned!

Tale of Two Cities
It was the best of shows, it was the not-best of shows. And our entire BevNET team is just catching its collective breath from the frenetic pace of attending and reporting on them, the two major fall trade shows, Natural Products Expo East and NACS.
These two events are highlights of the beverage calendar year and set the tone for buyers forging ahead into 2018. The initiatives introduced and displayed by the marketers on the trade show floors represent what suppliers believe should be the products adorning the shelves of retailers across several key channels. Fall is usually the best time to launch brands as it coincides with the planning cycle for portfolios, planograms and shelf set execution. Needless to say, the timing of these shows is crucial to the success or failure of beverage marketers.
While the intent of both shows is similar, the contrasts couldn't be more disparate. Expo East, situated in Baltimore, has become a strong younger sibling to the juggernaut Expo West. It has grown in stature, attendance and importance to the industry, and the excitement on the floor was palpable. I was so impressed with the array of products offered there. There were so many categories on display that it made my head spin: cold brewed coffees, bone broths, juices, natural energy drinks, coconut waters, chia drinks and other functional beverages, waters of every ilk, kombuchas, teas and dozens of other types filled the halls. Each was as exciting as the next. With about 180 beverage companies exhibiting, bannering hundreds of brands, the creativity of beverage marketers was in full flight. The show highlights the natural and organic brands– the industry and the consumer is heading. At Expo East the future is now. The halls were packed and I heard nary a disparaging word from all my exhibitor friends. Everyone thought the show was a home run.
Three weeks later, we headed to Chicago for NACS. I've been attending NACS for 25 years now. It was once a fledgling show, but it has evolved into a major trade event. I have a special spot in my heart for NACS, and what has happened there hurts a little bit. First, the number of beverage exhibitors was half that of Expo East. But even more concerning, most of the creativity I witnessed in Baltimore was not present in Chicago. Since it's a convenience store show, I knew that I wouldn't see the plethora of brands, and that proved to be the case, but even worse was that, to look at the beverage offerings that were there, you would not know about categories generating all the excitement. Even a lot of the exciting brands that are now owned by the big guys were rolled into their gigantic booths, diminishing their impact. The crossover between the two shows were around 50 exhibitor companies. The variety just wasn't there. More important, the attendance was down, the aisles were never packed, and the marketers did share disparaging words with me. I hope it was an aberration and being in Vegas again will generate the excitement that has always personified NACS.
I love attending both shows, seeing old friends and making new ones. They serve the industry well, but I left Baltimore exhilarated, and Chicago deflated.


text: Diezani to forfeit $153.3million looted NNPC funds Former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, on Friday temporarily forfeited $153.3 million to the Federal Government sequel to an order by a Federal High Court in Lagos. Diezani, 56, served as petroleum minister under former President Goodluck Jonathan. She is presently living as a fugitive in the United Kingdom where she claims she is undergoing treatment for cancer. The seized money, according to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) was stolen from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and stashed in three banks in Nigeria, in US dollars and naira. Out of the loot, N23.4 billion was kept in Sterling Bank Plc. The sum of N9.08 billion was kept in First Bank Plc and $5m in Access Bank Plc. Justice Muslim Hassan, who gave the order, gave Sterling Bank and any other interested party 14 days to appear before him to prove the legitimacy of the monies, failing which the funds would be permanently forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria The judge made the order in favour of the EFCC which appeared before him on Friday with an ex parte application seeking the temporary forfeiture of the funds. In a nine-paragraph affidavit by EFCC investigator, Moses Awolusi, and filed in support of the ex parte application, the anti-graft agency discovered how sometime in December 2014, Diezani invited a former Managing Director of Fidelity Bank Plc, Nnamdi Okonkwo, to her office. There they allegedly hatched the plan of how $153,310,000 would be moved from NNPC to Okonkwo to be saved for Diezani. Diezani, according to Awolusi, instructed Okonkwo to ensure that the money was "neither credited into any known account nor captured in any transaction platforms" of Fidelity Bank. Okonkwo allegedly accepted and implemented the deal leading to the movement of $153,310,000 from NNPC to Fidelity Bank. Awolusi averred further that two former Group Executive Directors of Finance and Account of NNPC, B.O.N. Otti and Stanley Lawson, helped Diezani to move the cash from NNPC, Abuja to the headquarters of Fidelity Bank in Lagos. He said that in a desperate bid to conceal the source of the money, Okonkwo, upon receiving it, instructed the Country Head of Fidelity Bank, Mr. Martin Izuogbe, to take $113,310,000 cash out of the money to the Executive Director, Commercial and Institutional Bank, Sterling Bank Plc, Lanre Adesanya, to keep. He said the remaining $40m was taken in cash to the Executive Director, Public Sector Accountant, First Bank, Dauda Lawal, to keep. The investigator said out of the $113,310,000 handed over to Adesanya, a sum of $108,310,000 was invested in an off balance sheet investment using Sterling Asset Management Trustees Limited. The money was subsequently converted into N23.4 billion and saved in Sterling Bank. Awolusi said the EFCC had recovered the N23.4bn in draft and had registered it as an exhibit marked EFCC 01. The investigator said the EFCC had also recovered another $5m out of the money kept with the Managing Director of Access Bank Plc, Mr. Herbert Wigwe. He said the $5m was recovered in draft and had been registered as an exhibit marked, EFCC 02. According to him, First Bank's Executive Director, Lawal had similarly converted the $40m kept with him to N9,080,000,000. Awolusi, however, said the EFCC had recovered that also in draft and registered it as Exhibit EFCC 03. Moving the ex parte application today, the EFCC lawyer, Mr. Rotimi Oyedepo, urged Justice Hassan to order the temporary forfeiture of the funds to the Federal Government and to order Sterling Bank and Lawal, who were joined as defendants in the application, as well as any other interested parties, to appear in court within two weeks to show cause why the funds should not be permanently forfeited to the Federal Government. Oyedepo, who said the application was brought pursuant to Section 17 of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Related Offences Act No. 14, 2006 and Section 44(2)(') of the 1999 Constitution, said granting the application was in the best interest of justice. Justice Hassan granted the order and adjourned till January 24, 2016 for the respondents to appear in court to show cause why the funds should not be permanently forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria.

Event Description (4x50m)
With a dive start after the first competitor touches the wall, the second competitor races 50 m freestyle with fins.
With a dive start after the second competitor touches the wall, the third competitor races 50 m freestyle towing a rescue tube. The third competitor touches the turn wall.
The fourth competitor, in the water wearing fins with at least one hand on the turn wall, dons the harness. The third competitor, playing the role of "victim", holds the rescue tube with both hands while being towed 50 m by the fourth competitor to the finish.
Starts with rescue tubes: For the third competitor's start, the rescue tube and rescue tube line may be positioned at the competitor's discretion, but within the competitor's allotted lane. Competitors should ensure a safe and correct position of rescue tube and line.
Wearing rescue tubes: Rescue tubes must be donned correctly with the loop across or over one shoulder. Assuming the rescue tube was donned correctly, there is no cause for disqualification if the loop falls down on the competitor's arm or elbow during the competitor's approach or tow.

I am so thankful I had the opportunity to listen to Warren speak. After hearing the same person talk to you everyday for a week, you think it would get boring and redundant but it wasn't. Each day he had something new and enticing to talk to us about. He spoke to us like friends and gave us advice that I will use for the rest of my life. Four Star Leadership was an amazing opportunity and I'm so glad Warren was a part of it!

Luka Modric crowned Ballon d'Or winner to end ten-year Ronaldo/Messi duopolyMon, Dec 03 2018
Real Madrid and Croatia midfielder Luka Modric has been named the Ballon d'Or winner for 2018, ending the ten-year duopoly of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
The Croatian midfielder played a key role for both his club and country in 2018 as Croatia reached the 2018 World Cup Final in Moscow while a month earlier the 33-year-old helped Real Madrid to their 13th UEFA Champions League title with a win over Liverpool in Kyiv.
Modric fought off competition from five-time winner Ronaldo, who came in second, while Athletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann finished in third.
Messi missed out on a place in the world's elite top three for the first time in 12 years as the Barcelona superstar finished fifth in the vote.
PSG starlet Kylian Mbappe finished fourth while Mo Salah, Raphael Varane, Eden Hazard, Kevin De Bruyne and Harry Kane concluded the top ten.
Ada Hegerberg of Lyon picked up the inaugural Women's Balon d'Or while Kylian Mbappe won the first ever Kopa Trophy, which is awarded to the best player in the world under the age of 21.

Milwaukee Film Festival 2016: Liza, the Fox Fairy
By Devvon Eubanks
Love can put people in the craziest situations. But what if that love happens to kill everyone that comes into contact with it? This is the dilemma in "Liza, the Fox Fairy" by Hungarian director Károly Ujj Mészáros. Liza (Mónika Balsai) is a nurse who takes care of Japanese widow Marta (Piroska Molnár) and has an imaginary friend, ethereal 1950s Japanese pop singer Tomy Tani (David Sakurai). Hoping to experience romance like that of her frequently-read pop novel, Liza leaves the residence on her 30th birthday to look for love, but comes back later to find that Marta is dead. Inheriting Marta's apartment and left with Tomy as her only friend, Liza tries to date various individuals, only for them to eventually wind up dead. Because of these events, Liza believes that she is a demonic "fox fairy" who is plagued with a love that murders her suitors, so she desperately searches for a man who can lift her curse once and for all. Having a similar style to 2001's French film "Amélie," "Liza, the Fox Fairy" is a masterpiece of comedic genius and a uniquely pleasant narrative. From the amazing soundtrack and vibrant scenes to the diverse supporting cast and outlandish situations of Liza and the crew, this film is bursting at the seams with creativity and non-stop laughter. David Sakurai's character in particular receives special recognition for his mischievously wicked, yet vibrantly musical portrayal of Liza's friend, Tomy. Mészáros utilizes Sakurai's role well in guiding the story and bringing the most amusement to the viewer, with his bright turquoise suit, hip personality, and cheerful singing. And the "accidents" that happen to the men that Liza encounters are nothing short of hysterical, especially with comical commentary from a bewildered police chief who surveys the crime scenes of these unlucky victims. By and large, "Liza, the Fox Fairy" is a remarkable cinematic tale that will bring a smile to the face of every viewer by the end credits.

FALSE BREAKOUT: Extreme Caution – BTC Confusing EVERYONE!
Bitcoin touching the $3,500 level was a shock for investors after it had flattened for several months on the $6,000 to $7,000 range. Finding a bottom is not as easy as most people believe it is. In fact, I avoid it altogether. Instead, I wait for an upside.
When everybody thinks they see the future, the markets do what they do best: prove them all wrong.
The cryptocurrency market is especially prone to head-fakes, in what looks like a breakout ends up turning right back around and heading south.
The first half of 2018 saw the price of Bitcoin curve upwards, only to head right back down; this happened and then happened again, thereby forming a series of lower highs and lower lows:
It is a cruel punishment for market timers, but it's just part and parcel of the crypto markets, where short-term movements are often driven by sentiment, particularly fear and greed, overriding fundamentals.
What this means for us is that any apparent breakout in Bitcoin could actually be a fake-out, so we have to be extra careful and really do our due diligence.
November was the month when the Bitcoin market punished the complacent and stair-stepped down from its tight channel to its new range in the $3,500-to-$4,500 area. This was the market's way of asserting its dominance over its participants, letting investors know that HODLing isn't always easy and that the next fake-out could be just around the corner.

Wealth Education and Investment Principles Are Hidden From Public Database On Purpose!
Build The Knowledge Base To Set Yourself Up For A Wealthy Retirement and Leverage The Relationships We Are Forming With Proven Small-Cap Management Teams To Hit Grand-Slams!
Until Bitcoin does bottom out – which I expect to happen at around the $2,200 level, most likely – all moves must be treated as potential shakeouts. Pure Blockchain Wealth, through our industry-wide connections and relationships, monitors this carefully. All trading positions should be kept to a very reasonable size.
But that's just what I see in the short term; on a longer time horizon, there's great promise for Bitcoin in a world where citizens of emerging markets like India and China are eager to adopt digital assets. The room for growth is enormous in these heavily populated nations, where people need their transactions to be cheap, fast, and internationally accepted.
Not only are these markets heavily populated, but they're also thriving economies where, despite any misconceptions to the contrary, people have money and are ready to use it. India and China, for example, have an educated and affluent citizenry with more wealth than many Americans give them credit for.
China and India have more wealth than France, Canada, and Italy – the numbers don't lie. Wealth isn't exclusive to Western nations. In fact, nations like India and China are setting the pace for Bitcoin adoption, where cryptocurrency represents a grassroots movement to reduce government meddling in monetary transactions.
Both of these countries are also experiencing turmoil with government-imposed capital controls, so the importance of Bitcoin is much more apparent to its citizens, as opposed to North America, for example.
Looking back at 2018 can help investors peek into the future, as this year has proven that Bitcoin can handle a seemingly fatal blow and survive to live another day, month, year, and decade.
If anything, 2018 is a testament to Bitcoin's power, resilience, and longevity; Bitcoin survived, it's still here, and nothing can stop it now.

As part of the process of filing a Chapter 7, I as your Austin bankruptcy attorney will help you determine the correct information to put on what are labeled as Schedules I and J. Read on for a bit of explanation of these forms.
Schedule I is a statement of your current income. Both you and your spouse must provide detailed income information, unless you are separated and are not filing jointly for bankruptcy. However, even if you are separated and are jointly on the hook for any of the debt you are seeking to discharge, you will both have to fill out the form. This schedule is pretty matter-of-fact. It's looking for average monthly income going forward as best you can calculate it. And, you are asked to disclose any anticipated major changes, like an expected bonus somewhere down the road. The point is to be sure you convert all numbers to monthly averages, keeping in mind simple things like there are 4.33 weeks in a month if you get paid weekly. The right answers to this form are accurate answers.
Schedule J is the flip side – expenses. Here again you are looking for average monthly expenses for you and your family. At the bottom of J you are asked compare these expenses to the net income shown on Schedule I. If you are filing a Chapter 7, the Trustees are expecting to see something on the order of no more than $100 per month in positive monthly cash flow.
Your expense calculations deserve very careful attention to be sure you are including everything reasonable for you and your family. In the 17 stated categories there are 5 headings or sub-headings labeled "other." So, if you have expenses not specifically requested, use those other lines. Look closely at what it costs your family to eat properly and healthy, to cover your medical out-of-pocket expenses, keep your house clean and maintained, take care of your pets, keep your vehicles in good shape, pay for your children's educational expenses, attend to your personal appearance, and buy all the other many little consumables that you need monthly from your neighborhood grocery or drugstore. You can add some costs for reasonable vacations and holiday gift giving and for modest retirement deductions from your salary. Keep in mind too that you will need to allow for all the expenses and deposits related to moving if you are surrendering your house in the bankruptcy. If your first pass at the calculations shows too much monthly cash flow, I'll help you look again to be sure you have taken into account all the expenses that are appropriate.
Fair warning, however: I recently observed a hearing on a case (not mine) where the Trustee objected to Schedule J because it provided for an overly lavish lifestyle. You probably can't get away with budgeting for private school tuition for 4 children, country and hunting club dues, and lease payments on a Porsche and a Jaguar. If you are entitled to Chapter 7 relief from your debts, you are deserving of a truly fresh start under reasonable living conditions, but you can't produce Schedules I and J that show a large income being consumed by too much luxury spending. The Trustee will use that excuse to bump you to a Chapter 13, where you sacrifice those luxuries and use the cash for years in a structured payout plan to satisfy your creditors

Halloween Ad Entertains – Walgreens Does it Right
I don't remember the site I found this ad from Walgreens on but I found it to be sophomoric in it's humor, hence highly entertaining. While I was engaged on the next place the Halloween spiders would be found I forgot that I was watching an ad. NOW, I will remember Walgreens for their uniqueness in a pretty much a commodity retail little box business.
Notice how they are NOT selling a darn thing.

In an interview published today, Google Co-founder Sergey Brin told The Guardian that internet openness and universal access are under immediate attack by "very powerful forces that have lined up against the open internet on all sides and around the world". "I am more worried than I have been in the past," he said. "It's scary."
The threat to the internet comes "from a combination of governments increasingly trying to control access and communication by their citizens, the entertainment industry's attempts to crack down on piracy, and the rise of 'restrictive' walled gardens such as Facebook and Apple, which tightly control what software can be released on their platforms," The Guardian reports.
In the interview Brin alludes to the reach of the US government, telling how Google is forced to hand over data and is restricted from notifying users that their privacy has been breached.

The Guardian: Web freedom faces greatest threat ever, warns Google's Sergey Brin
Brin said he and co-founder Larry Page would not have been able to create Google if the internet was dominated by Facebook. "You have to play by their rules, which are really restrictive," he said. "The kind of environment that we developed Google in, the reason that we were able to develop a search engine, is the web was so open. Once you get too many rules, that will stifle innovation."

He criticised Facebook for not making it easy for users to switch their data to other services. "Facebook has been sucking down Gmail contacts for many years," he said. [...]
He reserved his harshest words for the entertainment industry, which he said was "shooting itself in the foot, or maybe worse than in the foot" by lobbying for legislation to block sites offering pirate material.
He said the Sopa and Pipa bills championed by the film and music industries would have led to the US using the same technology and approach it criticised China and Iran for using. The entertainment industry failed to appreciate people would continue to download pirated content as long as it was easier to acquire and use than legitimately obtained material, he said. [...]
Brin acknowledged that some people were anxious about the amount of their data that was now in the reach of US authorities because it sits on Google's servers. He said the company was periodically forced to hand over data and sometimes prevented by legal restrictions from even notifying users that it had done so.

Considering mixins
I've recently been testing out the idea of using Mixins for an upcoming project. I resist because the mixin pattern uses multiple inheritance, which usually screams complexity and trouble. Mixins are typically supposed to circumvent the diamond problem by attempting to not have any clashing method names.
However, as projects grow, as all good ones do, keeping this namespace pollution problem in check becomes cumbersome. Even if you now the method resolution order in Python like a pro it wastes time on bugs that most likely could have been avoided using a different pattern.
On the other hand, the mixin pattern is very useful for separating concerns. It's just too bad that the end user of an object using mixins cannot see that separation.
I haven not been able to articulate my objections to the mixin pattern, but luckily for me this mixins considered harmful series of articles provides a lot of examples and detailed discussion.
The author does a great job of arguing for generic functions over mixins:
The advantage of generic functions is that they are clearly defined outside classes, whereas the mixin approach is kind of schizophrenic: the functionality is actually defined externally, but that fact is made invisible to the final user.
I've always felt that using modules for namespacing is useful, and I often push off writing classes until they are clearly needed. I often see a lot of Python code with unnecessary classes everywhere, and until never understood why this style was so popular. This quote from the mixin article series hits the nail on the head:
In most languages instead, classes are used as a namespace control mechanism, performing double duty - namespace control should be the job of modules.
Excellent point and those are just a few highlights from the second post in the series. You should give them all a read if your interested in the downsides of mixins:

Hello Ben, great to have you here! Can you describe your character for us?
Perceval is a very neat, innocent prep school boy who thinks all the bad stuff going on is just fun and games. But at the end he joins the hunters and become savage.
Having to act younger than I am is quite a challenge and I love the uniform we wear.
What are the rest of the cast like?
The rest of the cast are fantastic there funny, interesting and there all over 18 so they pay a lot of attention to me as I'm one of 3 kids in it
What are the similarities and differences between you and Perceval?
Well I go to a prep school as well but I have to say I'm not very neat and I'm 11 and my character is 6 and I don't think I would be as naive as Perceval in that situation.
Rehearsals are great but a bit tiring, at our breaks the cast get up to all different types of games: our personal favourite is a game called 'Ninja' which if I explained we would be here for hours!!
What are your future aims for your acting career - would you like to carry on with theatre?
I would love to carry on with theatre but hope to get into some films and TV programmes as well!
There is so much I'd like to say about the play, so watch out for a separate review, coming soon!

Jarred & Bry | Wedding
Two love birds and an amazing family to support them <3
Not often do I have the whole family show up to a wedding meet and great, but the Buller family was an all or nothing unit right from the beginning!
Jarred & Bry, I'm so glad you invited me to capture the union of you two as a couple, but also, the growth of a family. You all care about one another so much it blows my mind. I've never seen family members so excited, if not as excited, as the bride and groom for their marriage.
It was truly my pleasure to be a part of your day <3

The potentially best tax relief you will see in your lifetime has been available in 2010 and EXPIRE by the end of the year.
IRAs and 401Ks are set to become ticking tax time bombs later this decade if tax rates increase. Seniors tend to eliminate all of their other deductions in retirement and just about 100% of their income becomes taxable.
You can change your IRA into a permanent source of TAX-FREE INCOME and legally stay immune to the massive tax increases starting next year.

6 Measurements You Need To Know Before Going Shopping
There's no doubt that the most important detail in men's style is the way our clothes fit. You could be wearing a $2,000 suit that fits boxy or hasn't been tailored to your body and look worse than a guy in a $300 suit that actually contours to his body.
But even before taking the first step into the store there's 6 key measurements that every man needs to know.
Let's be honest, depending on where you go shopping the staff may not be as well informed as they need to be.
Have you ever walked out of a store feeling alright about your purchase and try it on again at home only to realize that it doesn't look or feel as great as it should?
Read this and you'll be sure to avoid that from now on.
First of all you need measuring tape to get your proper measurements.
This one applies when you're shopping for dress-shirts so don't worry about knowing this for t-shirts. To avoid feeling like your shirt collar is strangling you, the best way to approach this is to wrap the measuring tape gently around your neck.
It should be roughly an inch under your Adam's Apple. To ensure a comfy fit you should be able to squeeze two fingers between the tape and your neck.
Measuring your chest is most important when shopping for suits and blazers. You'll also notice that in addition to the numbered measurement there's either a S,R, or, L. This indicates the length of the jacket.
If you're between 5'7" and 6' consider yourself a Regular. Anything above that and you're Long and of course anything below that is considered a Short.
Run the tape under your armpits and over the broadest part of your chest. Make sure that the tape is snug but not so tight that you're struggling to breathe.
Avoid puffing up your chest and stand relaxed to get the most accurate measurement possible.
Maybe it's rap music's fault but a common mistake men make is wearing their pants around their hips rather than their waist.
Getting away with this with a pair of jeans or chinos should be ok but when wearing a pair of dress pants it's not going to fly.
To get the most accurate measurement wrap the measuring tape near your belly-button and squeeze a finger between your body and the tape to give yourself some breathing room.
Keep in mind that if you choose to apply this measurement to your casual pants, they will fit looser than what you're used to.
Basically a fancy way of saying what the length of your pants will be. If you refer to last week's post you'll find that a quick fix to improving your style is to mind the 'break of your pants.'
Have you ever seen a very well-dressed guy who ruined his look by not having his pants either hemmed or cuffed? It sounds like a small detail but it can throw everything off when a few inches of fabric pool up at the bottom of your pants.
The best way to measure this is to take your shoes off, have somebody you're comfortable with run the measuring tape from the bottom of your crotch to your foot.
Sleeve Length:
Unless you're buying a t-shirt or custom made dress-shirt it helps to know your sleeve length since most off the rack shirts will vary in length.
Measuring this one is very simple. Just run the tape from your shoulder joint to your wrist. It's that easy!
Shoe width:
You might be thinking, "The width of your foot?!"
Ya, it's an important one especially if you'll be on your feet or wearing your shoes all day. The last thing any of us want is to have our shoes cramping our style (literally and figuratively).
This one's pretty straightforward too. One thing to keep in mind is to measure your foot at the end of your day when it's most likely to be at its biggest and swollen.
That way you'll know that your shoes will be good from the minute you clock in to the moment you clock out.
Last Thoughts:
I'll keep this one short and sweet...
Knowing your measurements before stepping into the store can save you a ton of time and headache.
Rather than having to run back and forth to the tailor you might just find a gem or two that meets your criteria.
Every once in a while you get lucky enough to find something off the rack that actually fits very well without having it tailored.
I hope you enjoyed reading this post as much as I've enjoyed writing it.

In December of each year, pupils are asked to bring in food items for the Christmas hamper. The items are then packaged and delivered to St. Vincent De Paul and Focus Ireland. Occasionally, there is another collection later in the year for Crosscare.
The school also takes part in the Team Hope shoebox appeal in December each year. The children fill wrapped shoeboxes with a range of simple, age appropriate Christmas gifts and personal care products. Team Hope delivers these shoeboxes to children in need around the world.
During Lent, Trocaire Boxes are distributed, on behalf of the dioceses, to the children. There has always been a very generous contribution from the school.
There are also three other Charity collection days as approved by the Board of Management. Often, Non- Uniform days are held to raise funds for a chosen charity.

(excerpt from the book)
© Vseslav Solo (Sergey Paretsky), 1989-2012 by GG
Translated by using an electronic dictionary.
Original excerpts in Russian is here.
Mascots are almost always there, as is our knowledge of the world.
* Talisman - is any substantive or groundless subject that has consciously or unconsciously support a certain quality and direction of a particular faith, essentially, the same subject or groundless any item that has consciously or unconsciously certain kachectva faith and direction in a certain part of the entity in the subject-objectless consciousness of any one particular entity at the same faith of the essence in respect of non-objective subject-object, as the faith and the essence of her consciousness. *
Talisman may not be really any substantive or pointless subject and even the mascot may be some specific entity or group of entities or a group of non-objective subject-objects, as well, can serve as a talisman of some configuration of the spatial arrangement of the definition
divided by an entity or group of entities and specific configuration of the spatial arrangement of certain non-objective subject-object or objects.
Mascots can be tied, and with time as that is, as the very specific time can serve as a talisman, and the object or objects, entity or entities may have a certain or definite time (as duration) as a mascot.
Mascots are manufactured specifically as well as established under certain circumstances or on certain circumstances occur unconsciously.
As you already must now begin to understand me correctly, the charms can be for being the essence of living in a physical body, the five levels of force are:
Item Level,
Astral level,
Mental Level,
The level of spiritual,
The level of the beholder.
Naturally, the mascot can be used both consciously and unconsciously, and I think that you are clear what levels of force are the mascot for the growing line: Item, astral, mental, spiritual, contemplative, where Item is the smallest and beholder will be the biggest force Level mascot, which, of course emphasizes the fact that the higher the level of force mascot, the mascot trudoemche manufacturing process, and the brighter the success of its application.
For the manufacture of the mascot say, objectively, fit any materials or even finished goods, also mascot for the manufacture of Astral fit any mood, emotions and feelings, sensations, peculiar to man, to make a talisman Mental fit all phrases, words, concepts, and the manner of thinking this inherent man, as a mascot for the manufacture of the Spiritual order is required to have a certain quality and direction, a logical relationship (merger), astral and Mental person who has a habit of active zero, for the manufacture of mascot Level required to have a contemplative beholder at the Site (the theme of "Memory") a certain quality of vision and direction of the World, the task of the World.
What is the mechanism of control points the existence of a mascot named each power level?
Item Level mascot has always its existence as astral and mental, as well, and spiritual and contemplative,
only, except for the beginning of his subject, which is real, everything else is hidden in a talisman and unconsciously, because the whole life of a mascot is a report only on the subject, and it is, you know, is very cumbersome and not always convenient and applicable (remember the magic wand or something like that for which they fight each other any wizards, sorcerers or witches in fairy tales, and all because without a magic wand or some other equivalent to it, a magician, a magician or sorcerer of the objective of Level does not constitute a valid magical power).
The same is true about the mascot and the level of the astral, which is invisible to earthly eyes, which of course emphasizes the development of a more significant level of magician, sorcerer, magician, rather than in the case of the subject mascot because, here, on the astral level of force, and charm can take for a possible fight, but it will be a greater struggle for the possession of faith. Warlock, Mage or Sorcerer, in this case, would be forced to defend their faith, or to take away from his last opponent, and, Astral level of force may be the mascot did not need to be conscious Faith, but rather the unconscious, that is, a
Faith may be called rather a ritual, faith built on the Binding and canons.
The level of mental strength above all, the mascot will be based on the extent, depth, awareness of the magician, sorcerer or magician here, if there will be some kind of struggle, it will always manifest themselves: a new development, new standards and open spaces mastered logic, the ability to control the logic that automatically fasten the magician, sorcerer or wizard to improve your mind in the sense of deliverance and all the more from the bindings and Toy Land.
The spiritual level of force implies that the mascot as a magician, a sorcerer or magician has merged his will and faith in the one whole and how this fusion can function together, but independently, that is, that when the will and faith are divided in their lifetimes and movements, but they are united by a single vision of the person possessing them as such, their coexistence. This level of mascot can be characterized like this: Conscious Movement senses.
Power on the talisman Level beholder and really amazing and unusual. Here, as
they occur as a struggle with the spectator himself, with all its world of consciousness immediately and simultaneously, where all entities and objects as subject, as well as non-objective, both conscious and unconscious are enemies because they all need to learn how to experience and to remove from the themselves forever.
There are those charms that may be because of all the five levels?
What are they like?
It charms, made objectively, but they are created by a person who already has a level of consciousness, the level of awareness of the beholder of the World (not just know about the mechanics of meditation, the logic itself, but it is really and truly understand it and live in it and mastering it consciously).
That is such a talisman would open its power, will only work in the hands of this man, the creator of such a talisman, and that is interesting is that the mascot of the manufacturing and quality is almost completely invulnerable, because it can change its configuration subject ( his earthly body), for his master and the parent can easily and safely by the mascot for that lost one of the subject body of his stay in the world crude form into another form of being, say, the mascot was a ...

Fascinating Ted Talk positing in part that the brain's main function is to allow us to be adaptable and complex in our movements.
Relevant in our study of both Mov Nat and Yoga where we play with a variety of complex and natural movements… do these exercises keep our brains healthy? and is this body-brain connection what keeps us fully vibrant?
Keep moving!

8. Makara Shankranti-7.
On the same day, young girls prepare various special dishes—sweet rice, sour rice, rice with coconut—and take them to the bank of a river or tank.
They lay some leaves on the ground and place on them balls of the various preparations for the fish, birds, and other creatures.
It is an extremely colourful ceremony.
The crows come down in large numbers and partake of the food.
All the time a valuable lesson is driven into our minds—"Share what you have with all".
The crow will call others before beginning to eat.
Both these days, which are family re-union days, are regarded as being inauspicious for travel.
This is to prevent us from going away from home on those days.
When you celebrate the Shankranti or Pongal in this manner, your sense of value changes.
You begin to understand that your real wealth is the goodwill and friendship of your relatives, friends, neighbours and servants; that your wealth is the land on which your food grows, the cattle which help you in agriculture, and the cow which gives you milk.
You begin to have greater love and respect for them and for all living beings—the crows, the fish and all other creatures.
In Maharashtra and in North India, spiritual aspirants attach much importance to Makara Shankranti.
It is the season chosen by the Guru for bestowing his Grace on the disciple.
In the South, too, it should be noted that it was about this time that Mahadeva favoured several of the Rishis by blessing them with His beatific vision.
