The Night Of: Season 01, Episode 08: The Call of the Wild
Posted by Melanie on August 30, 2016 · Leave a Comment
These episode titles have all been intentionally provocative; the finale's is a treatise on nature, man's animalism, and the ultimate inability to escape one's basest instincts. Its "previously on" highlights Naz's mother asking "did I raise an animal?" In the episode itself we have a Prodigal Son scene, a physical leper sitting across from the metaphorical one, and the un-ironic words "everybody's got a cross to bear."
There's something to be said about being so brutally direct a high school freshman can suss out your basic metaphors and references. Directness can be refreshing, when you're not trying to be so obscure and too fancy. The problem is The Night Of's directness, like its eczema and emphasis on Dangerous Black Men, neither obscures nor enhances a deeper meaning. The directness simply exists.
The episode niftily pulls together three disparate events – Box's private investigation and the conclusions he comes to; new evidence; the courtroom ongoings themselves. We see Box reviewing Andrea on a surveillance cam, it switches to an 'objective' account of Andrea doing things we saw in the pilot and know to be fact, then uses voiceover of the event to segue into to the courtroom where the voiceover is shown to be testimony. In this way we're led through Box's mental reasoning, and the episode gives is his piecings together as fact. The reasonings are properly established as Facts in-universe several scenes later, when Box's sleuthing finds Andrea arguing with a man on yet another security camera. We don't see how Box finds that footage, presumably a lot of footage scrolling by a lackey. It's a 'cheat,' but it works.
It's hardly the only cheat, small or egregious, in the finale. In a small yet typical filmmaking shortcut, it cheats by asking the court stenographer to read back the record and she has it just a couple inches up on her roll, like it happened moments ago. In a whopping cheat, it holds out on telling us until the very last episode that someone we the audience know was at the murder scene, and saw the victim, had an MO which matched the murder. Everyone involved knew this before it's pulled out on the audience like a rabbit from a hat.
A six-six jury deadlock also feels like a cheat. But the real kicker of the whole show, the thing it spent eight hours leading up to, is that in the end we don't know if he did it. The show needed to last that long so it could draw out the juicy pleasure of denying the audience Knowing. This ambiguous ending something probably only a handful of CSI episodes did. (The episode attempts self-awareness in its closing scene by having Stone watch a forensic special which refers to CSIs.) In so many ways, the show cheats around its ending. Until the finale, not only were we not sure of the guilty party, but we didn't know all the suspects. We didn't know the murderer. We didn't know the show's endgame. Some may call this genius, and I'm absolutely a fan of leaving the ending unresolved. But the way they do it, leaving true suspects unknown to us until the bitter end, feels too much like the 'twist' in one of those movies like The Bone Collector and its hundreds of ripoffs, where it acts as though it's tricked you by putting the perp on screen for four minutes, not doing work of foreshadowing or hinting, then wham, 'revealing' he's the killer.
This procedural episode with its 'twist courtroom reveals' a la Law & Order might not feel as much like a cheat if the pilot hadn't been set up as an anti-procedural. An example of its anti-procedural-ness is the extended, slowly paced segment of questioning and cross-questioning. Most of our film, TV, even podcasts playing back real court excerpts, don't allow any section to drag on this long, at least not without a series of interjections or voiceover or flashbacks. Thankfully, this episode resists flashbacks in the section where Weiss questions Naz. Their exchange is slow and patient, demanding attention in ways most modern media doesn't, and most TV stations can't, afford. It could be boring and monotonous but the acting raises this scene to a perfect degree of tension, and holds it there an impressively long time.
It effectively takes us past where procedurals go in the process of release, as well. The Naz who comes out is different than the one who went in. Or is he? Like the audience, mom wonders whether he's been this animal all along. That's what the entire exercise has been about. In that, at least, it was successful. In how it was about it, though, it was not always. Its mystery is solved in a hollow way, with a character who has far less screen time than a tabby cat.
The series certainly doesn't play well by its women and black men, either. Boy, does it not do well by its women.
In one somewhat encouraging scene, Stone acts as though Chandra doesn't have the right to make decisions about Naz testifying, but she immediately refutes that by pointing out she has been doing all the heavy lifting and lead work on the case.
She proceeds to undermine both her moral high ground and her smarts by becoming a drug mule for Naz, based on . . . falling in love or lust, apparently. Then she cries in the courtroom when her love is revealed to be untrustworthy. There's a more charitable reading, which is Chandra seeing her decision to put Naz on the stand as being the decision which lost the case. That would be acceptable, but were that the case, it was completely obscured by the "I'm so in love with my client I smuggled drugs and risked my entire career for a kiss" plotline. What utter fucking tripe. The actress deserves better.
At least Naz has the decency to act as though he feels shame over his involvement in making Chandra . He then says he's "ashamed" he ran after finding Andrea's body. This makes us wonder: is he putting that on, too? Does he feel he 'had' to kill Andrea, and then lie about it, as self-preservation? The way this plotline adds to Naz's opacity is its only redeeming quality, but that's not nearly enough to salvage the ways the writers haphazardly assassinate the character and intelligence of the show's only prominent woman of color.
'Woman lawyer falls in love with her client, ruins career' is the most egregious of several cliches. Naz gets more prison-specific, visible tattoos. Box sleeping at the precinct, a lone detective on a mission, opposed by the rest of his clan, following a lead based on instinct and having it pan out and leads him to an old perp he had arrested before. The DA lies in court, without consequence or worry about objection. Again, all might work well in a show which is more explicitly surreal, but in their Procedural On Steroids trappings, mixed with the overt Call of the Wild references, it all seems a bit too obvious.
In this wild, Naz completes the circle of nature. Naz becomes friends with new, jumpy inmate Terry, but is always circling, eying, and rips Terry's throat out the moment he has a chance. Stone is much, much worse at playing the game. His push for a mistrial is rewarded with being top dog, but it's a position he doesn't want. [If you're tired of the metaphor, blame the episode name and the actual gift of Jack London's novel, not me. Stone states in court Rikers will turn anybody into a killer . . . you expect him to say "wolf".]
If we could just believe that Naz "smells like innocence" and that casts a mystical spell on Stone and Chandra, if the whole thing were that old and mythical and surreal like the unicorn Freddie refers to, would it then work? Would it complete the animalistic overtones in a way which did something really new and interesting? Maybe.
Instead, we get more eczema, this time stress-induced Stone mixes all his remedies, and we spend several minutes with this sideplot before the episode gives an extended lead-up to a splotchy reveal. Taking several beats studying the back of Stone's head even when we know it's going to be splotchy is a microcosm of how the show is dealing with its reveals, holding out on the audience while thinking coyness and delay is a substitute for real twists.
Then we go back to the start, with visual mirroring of Stone on a train and Naz by the river, with a couple key details altered. The music wants us to note what remains the same [Stone] and be sad for what has changed [Naz], and tries to account properly for the dead woman with Naz's drug-induced glimpses. It works fine.
The best parts of the show are those which frankly explore the often-hidden victims of the Justice System — the family and livelihood of those accused — and the scenes which delve into the eerie, trippy, mythological Symbols such as the hearse driver. The problem is, these two things are at loggerheads, and the rest of the material doesn't tie them together. The acting is fantastic, the show is pretty, it does some interesting things, and it passes for daring in TV these days to leave the ending ambiguous. In the end, it's about too hours too long for its contents, it plays far too coy, and it throws women and black characters under the bus in service of its protagonist, but if it doesn't live up to its pilot, at least it gives us really great setpieces and things to talk about.
Stray Observations
– The episode is fleshed out with insane amounts of pretty B-roll: rack focus from a punching bag to a doorway, a red railing in a dank stairwell, an aquarium Statue of Liberty, shallow-focus hallway symmetry.
– The exchange where Trevor hypothesises about cops smacking him around, then the camera cuts to Stone giving a mirthless chuckle of agreement, is goddamn perfect. Comedic timing: Turturro and the editor have it.
– Naz thanking Stone after closing arguments is touching. Dramatic capability: Turturro and Ahmed have it.
– Stone acknowledges bias inherent in the system, then almost immediately appeals to the jury's 'feelings' about the tattoo'd brown boy in front of them. Not brilliant lawyering.
– The background noise track of the courtroom includes mostly people coughing. It's like they recorded foley at a bronchitis convention.

Jan Lisa Huttner, FF2 Media's Editor-in-Chief, has a surprising answer to the question who was the biggest winner at the 2017 Oscar Ceremony?
"You can't always get what you want.
You can't always get what you want.
You can't always get what you want.
But if you try sometimes well you might find
I am a glass-half-full kinda gal and I always live in hope. Moonlight was not my own top pick. My top pick was Hidden Figures and my back-up pick was Fences.
But Moonlight -- a fine film -- was my third pick, and under the circumstances, gracious compromise is the order of the day.
AMPAS President Cheryl Boone Isaacs went out on a limb, adding an enormous number of new members from all around the world to the roster of voters, and beginning the highly sensitive process of bumping some current members to "emeritus" (non-voting) status. In so doing, she faced huge Blacklash (evident in many of the "Trumpian" comments made by some of the people who lobbied so hard for La La Land on Facebook in the week prior to the Oscar ceremony). And yet, in the end, AMPAS managed to affirm that Black Lives Matter in the USA and in world cinema. Hooray for AMPAS 🙂
The answer to the question "who was the biggest winner at the 2017 Oscar Ceremony?" is Kwame Anthony Appiah:
In this groundbreaking work, Kwame Anthony Appiah, hailed as "one of the most relevant philosophers today" (New York Times Book Review), changes the way we understand human behavior and the way social reform is brought about. In brilliantly arguing that new democratic movements over the last century have not been driven by legislation from above, Appiah explores the end of the duel in aristocratic England, the tumultuous struggles over footbinding in nineteenth-century China, the uprising of ordinary people against Atlantic slavery, and the horrors of "honor killing" in contemporary Pakistan. Intertwining philosophy and historical narrative, he has created "a fascinating study of moral evolution" (Philadelphia Inquirer) that demonstrates the critical role honor plays a in the struggle against man's inhumanity to man.
Sunday night, we saw a perfect example of The Honor Code at work. I could not have been alone in cringing from the discrepancy between what Meryl Streep said at the Golden Globe awards and the audience to whom her comments were addressed. Of course, Streep was using her moment in this spotlight to speak to the world, but the people actually there to clap for her told a different story. My theory is that when Viola Davis spoke to them in her acceptance speech, she shamed them, and they heard her. I know I did.
Who were the biggest losers on Oscar Night. Alas, once again, women were sacrificed for "the cause." Very few women filmmakers were nominated and not a single one of them won. Although Maren Ade was highly-favored in the Best Foreign Language Film category, she lost to Asghar Farhadi (who won his second BFLF Oscar, this time for The Salesman). Now I am not, myself, a big fan of Toni Erdmann, but it was "the candidate to beat" in this category this year... so? Me, I think the last minute brouhaha about Trump's travel ban put The Salesman on top.
However, I think Ava DuVernay lost the Best Documentary Oscar that should have been hers for 13th for a totally different reason (to addressed later).
Regardless, although Oscar was not as "white" in 2017, it was still extremely "blue."
So I renew my plea: If we want the Oscars to be truly-merit based (= "gold"), then we must include everyone from every background in the pool of candidates. The world is not "black and white," and women of every color hold up half the sky.

CS:GO Danger Zone, the latest update to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, went live Thursday introducing the world to the latest battle royale mode in the genre. The update also introduced important changes to the CS:GO landscape.
Here are five important takeaways from the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Danger Zone Update.
Welcome to the Danger Zone. https://t.co/GT5ZLj4FBX— CS:GO (@csgo_dev) December 6, 2018
Danger Zone is Valve's CS:GO entry into a battle royale genre dominated currently by Epic Games' Fortnite, Activision's Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and PUBG Corp's PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS. The mode is fresh out of the box, so at face value, it should be taken as Valve looking to create a similar, yet unique experience in a Counter-Strike landscape.
CS:GO is now free-to-play, a welcomed update to a game that previously cost $14.99 at retail. Some of its competitors, namely Valve's other major IP Dota 2, was already F2P. With CS:GO now joining that party, it'll open more eyes to the game.
CS:GO Danger Zone: 3 Important Things to Know From the Update
A new case, the Danger Zone Case, was announced in conjunction with the BR mode. A new case generally means an influx in the Steam community market. The skins look gorgeous, continue to incorporate community designs, and keep the micro-transaction aspect of CS:GO fresh.

A LITTLE OVER eight years ago, my niece heard these words from a woman, "I will not bring this child into the world." The woman was not an expectant mother, she was my niece's obstetrician/gynaecologist. At five months into her pregnancy, an ultrasound revealed my niece's child had no apparent brain matter. A subsequent ultrasound revealed that her son had an encephelocele and that the build up of spinal fluid had squished his brain to the top of his head making the brain itself undetectable on a regular ultrasound. Many experts advised termination of the pregnancy.My niece and her husband decided to bring their little boy into the world even if it meant just a few precious moments with their little son or if it meant a lifetime of constant care. They had to find a neonatologist, a new delivery doctor and even a new pediatrician who would agree to care for their son with his special needs. Three months later, my niece gave birth to her second child. He was taken that week into surgery where they implanted a VP shunt to drain the excess spinal fluid to allow room for his brain. They were told their son probably would not see, hear, talk or walk.
Today, this young boy attends second grade, is preparing to make his first Communion, sees and comments on the beauty that surrounds him, asks his grandma to play the piano for him, is surprisingly articulate and is able to walk. While he has occasional seizures, he is a thriving little person deserving of care. Ultimately, he is a child of God, deserving of the special place in this world that God intended for him.
I guess my point is, prenatal testing is very worthwhile when it helps to prepare doctors and parents to help the child in need of help, but it can be very harmful and seductive when "experts" become the judge and jury of such a child and use it as a means to determine which children should live and which children they refuse to bring into the world. - Catherine Lemek

We have precious few hours until I grow bored with my own outrage and I move on to the next inciting piece of clickbait in my feed, so I will be brief: I don't believe any white person should feel an ounce of guilt for caring about Cecil the Lion.
After all, this is Cecil The Lion we're talking about. Not just any old normal lion – this is a lion with a human name. We anthropomorphized him, for God's sake. That means something. And it's really upsetting to me when a black person suggests that the brutal and systemic murders of African-Americans by the police might be a more important issue.
It's like, I get that this country's war against black people is important. I get that. But it's very insulting to me when a black person takes time from their own terrifying existence of being the target of one of the most vicious examples of racism since slavery to tell me that.
I mean, come on guys, this is Cecil the Lion! We all have such fond memories of him, like the time we first became aware he was shot. That's what makes Cecil the Lion equally as important as the mothers, sisters, daughters, wives, fathers, sons, brothers, and husbands you lost.
I can be upset about both issues, and that in no way minimizes an issue that I as a white person have never experienced. It just means that I think Cecil the Lion is equally as important as Cecil the Black Person, and I feel very comfortable saying that.
Sure, if the murder of black citizens by the police effected me, a white person, I would probably constantly talk about it, and feel powerless and afraid when the national discourse shifted toward a fucking lion. But it doesn't effect me, and I'll act indignant if you ask me to question my privilege, thank you very kindly. That's what Cecil would have done, I imagine. I knew almost nothing about him and couldn't pick him apart from other lions, even if a gun was pointed at my head by a police officer who would never see trial for murdering me.

Interest in commercial drones has been picking up speed lately, especially in consumer goods and delivery. But these aren't the only sectors eyeing the possibilities that come with usage of flying drones.
In this week's episode of Industry Focus: Energy, Motley Fool analysts Sean O'Reilly and Taylor Muckerman talk about a few oil and gas companies that are looking into drones to more efficiently and safely check for methane leaks, explore for new oil, and more.
Continue Reading Below
Also, the hosts look at two opposing statements from U.S. government agencies -- the Environmental Protection Agencyand National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-- on the leading contributor of methane production. Find out where the controversy lies, where most methane really comes from, and how much hot-button issues like this should worry long-term energy investors.

And we think its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early in-the-know investors! To be one of them, just click here.
This podcast was recorded on Oct. 13, 2016.
Sean O'Reilly:Welcome to Industry Focus, the podcast the dives into a different sector of the stock market every day. Today isThursday, October 13th, 2016, so we're talking about energy, materials, and industrials. I'm your host, Sean O'Reilly, and I am joined byMotley Fool Canada general associate manager, TaylorMuckerman. Mr. Muckerman,any big Halloween plans coming up?
Taylor Muckerman: I don't know yet, I'm deciding whether or not to spend the time in D.C. or New York.
O'Reilly: You and the wife not getting any jointcostumes like the Underwoods or anything?
Muckerman: We have before,but I don't know about this year.
O'Reilly: What were you before? Crayons?
Muckerman: I stuffed apillow under my shirt, and she dressed like a cake. So,I was the fat kid that loved cake.
O'Reilly: Oh my God.
Muckerman: That's about as far as it goes.
O'Reilly: You two are something special.
Muckerman: (laughs) That's why we got together.
O'Reilly:So, for ourfirst segment here,don't know what to say other thandrones are coming to the oil patch.
Muckerman: Yeah,they sure are, thanks toGE(NYSE: GE), among others.
O'Reilly: One,I did not know that GE has a fancy $125 million facility called the Oil and Gas Technology Center. They're rolling out thishelicopter drone called The Raven,and it's going to help out oil companiescut down costs, be more efficientall that good stuff. Really quick, walk us through what exactly The Raven will be doing, and if you think it's good for the industry.
Muckerman: Thelatest version of The Raven can fly for about40 minuteswithout needing to be repowered. It can fly50 miles an hour, hasinfrared sensors on it to test formethane leaks,and they say that it can do the same taskas a human canthree times more efficiently, in terms of the time it needs. They've tested it withSouthwestern Energyand Oklahoma State University, and the test wentwell enough where Southwestern wants to test again,basically allowing this droneand its pilot to testpipelines or the well site for methane leaks,without the need for a human to bewalking around with a handheld infrared scanner.
O'Reilly: That'swhat I wanted to ask. Let's pretend I'm an employee ofKinder Morganor whoever. How does Kinder Morgan find these leaks right now?
Muckerman: You literally have people...
O'Reilly: A guy walking around?
Muckerman: Walking,driving along the length to the pipeline with infrared sensorsdetecting leaks. But the sensors that are predominantly used,apparently, don't tell you the degreeof the leakor anything like that, so you basically say, "There's a leak,"and you have to determine whether or not it'sbad enough to fix. Most of them probably are,especially with the EPA cracking down onmethane emissions in the fossil fuel sector.
O'Reilly: How big of a deal is this?
Muckerman: Early on, it's notbeing used by everyone,it's still being tested. But it seems likethere are other applications here. You can imagine drone use beingvery convenient at offshore oil rigs,people talk about using them to monitor the flaring towers on these rigs, that are often times quite high and if something went wrong,there could be fatal occurrencesthere because of explosions of natural gases not being flared --
O'Reilly: If onlywe had drones for the Deepwater Horizon spill.
Muckerman: I know,that could have maybe helped with something. But you would be more reliant on semi-submersibles for that instance,because it was on the ocean floor. But,you could have used drones to go in after the fact...
O'Reilly: Assess the damage.
Muckerman: The environmentmight not be very conducive to human life. You could have used drones for that. Those are some of the more applicable things. One company imagines dronesdoing away with exploration teams by usingAdvanced seismic equipmenton these drones to go out and find oil,and not just prevent spills or leaks.
O'Reilly: So,we're going to fly this drone over the Delaware Basin,it's going to do some sub-crust deal.
Muckerman: Well,Chevronis working with drones, and suggest thatdrones possessunlimited technological possibilities in the oil and gas sector. That's coming from one of the four or five biggest oil companies in the world. They've been working with them just briefly, but then, you've seen drones also be used Prudhoe Bay in Alaska and very harsh environments.
O'Reilly: HasCore Labs...
Muckerman: To my knowledge, no.I could go back through transcripts,but to my knowledge, no. Fromwhat I understand,that company is dealing mainly below the surface. Thisidea of usingseismic equipment on drones could help them out. But,as of right now,I don't think they're using drones for anything.
O'Reilly: Got it. Thisobviously isn't a tectonic shift,but as you said, unlimited potentialis what these guys are saying.
Muckerman: Yeah. You'realso seeing this used in the agriculture segment as well, to monitor crops,check out water usage andwater reservoirs ondistant parts of farms, and justgeneral field maintenance. And, the U.S.government has allowedfor the use of dronesin the agriculture segment. It's notany man for himself -- there are restrictions. Butthey have a lot of companies and small farmsto use drones to monitor things.
O'Reilly: Before we move on, so,I'm an oil company,I might start using drones to find oil and check gas leaks and all this in the future --how big a cost savingswould you speculate, as a percentage of capex or whatever?
Muckerman: That'shard to estimate. But as they growin the capabilities that they have,I would imagineyou could see some percentage pointsadded back to margins. Granted,you still need someone to fly these drones. They'renot completely independent of human interaction. But you will reduce some of the time needed to complete these tasks and also some of the safety risks that you see when a human is involved. So,I could see, not only predictablecost savings butunpredicted events not happening,which is hard to quantify. I could see thatimpacting that positively.
O'Reilly: Right,we don't know what they might come up with. Before wetalk about our next topic, I wanted to give a shout out to our friends atTommy John.Tommy John is a revolution in men'sunderwear that focuses on fit,fabric and function.

So, Mr. Muckerman. EPAcoming out with some emissions estimates. Everybody would assume that the culprit for CO2 levelsin the atmosphere and all this stuff would becars. That turns out not to be the case.
Muckerman: Yeah. Thisdata actually came from NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, tocounteract with the EPA. We have two government entities...
O'Reilly: Oooh! Rap battle!
Muckerman:... battling head to head. Apparently,fossil fuels only account for 20 to 25% of methaneemissions globally,whereas if you look at microorganisms and livestock...
O'Reilly: I was about to say, it's cows, isn't it?(laughs)
Muckerman: ... decaying vegetation,they called out rice paddies, they're generating...
O'Reilly: Hold on, rice paddies?! Really?
Muckerman: Yeah. The whole group ofmicrobial sources, 58 to 67% of methane emissions,compared to 20 to 25%.
O'Reilly: Decayingvegetation and wetlands and eventermites. But not fossil fuels.
Muckerman: Yeah, they'reonly a quarter at most,apparently.
O'Reilly: I was thinking about, a couple episodes, we talked about how U.S.gasoline demand isfinally at the highest level since the recession. I was also thinking howthat's actually an even bigger dealbecause our cars are more efficient now than they were eight years ago. Is this a product of the last 10 to 15 years of our cars getting better, too? Or has this always been the case?
Muckerman: I can imagine that thecars are getting better, their emission controls are getting better, outside ofVolkswagen.
O'Reilly: Cough.(laughs)
Muckerman: (laughs)I guess they're getting their act together.
O'Reilly: Awkward.
Muckerman: Yeah,awkward for them. But, yeah, emissions aredefinitely down from the fossil-fuel sector,especially when you look at natural gas production.
O'Reilly: Go Big Oil! Yay!
Muckerman: Natural gasproduction is up47% from 1990, whereas methane emissions from that is down 21%. Bothdirections, that's what you want to see.
O'Reilly: Natural gas,as we've covered, is a cleaner fuel.
Muckerman: Yes,cleaner than coal, cleaner than oil. Maybe not so to extract,but to use, it is definitely cleaner. That's been proven. And it'sgetting better in terms of how much they'reproducing in terms of methane. The EPA wants levels from 2012 to be down 40 to 45% by 2025. Nosurprise, some states have come out and filed suit to not have that impact theirspecific states. Fifteen states.
O'Reilly: Which states are they?
Muckerman: North Dakota and Texas lead the pack,two of the larger oil and natural gas producersin the country. But it's interesting to see the wild swing from fossil fuelsbeing the main culprit, according to the EPA, and them being abackseat driver to microorganismsand microbial sources...
O'Reilly: Don'tforget the wetlands.
Muckerman: ... fromthe National Oceanic and AtmosphericAssociation. And when the EPA was enacting this ruling,they did get called out for cherry-picking their data sources.
O'Reilly: Oh, really! So,bringing it back around, I'm an oil and gas investor,let's say. How much time do you spendthinking about this stuff long term?
Muckerman: Companies havestarted to try and fix theirmethane emissions in terms of flaring.
O'Reilly: And you haveTotal, with Crowe, you hear about what they do.
Muckerman: Yeah. So,companies are addressing it. I guess it goes to show thateven the government might not have a full grasp onexactly where these emissions are coming from,because two competing organizationsin the same government...
O'Reilly: I want to see these two government agencies throw down. It could be good.
Muckerman: Yeah,we could have a debate.
O'Reilly: A mic drop.
Muckerman: It doeskind of show that there might be a virtuous cycle ofdecaying plant matter, warmer climates,warmer climates causing more decaying plant matter,warmer climates, then being amplified by thatadditional decaying plant matter and this whole feedback loop.
O'Reilly: Dun dun dun.
Muckerman: The Earth isslowly killing itself.
O'Reilly: Actually,when you sent over this topicearlier, I was curious as to whatcountries are currently consuming the most oil,because we all know that the United States is No. 1.
Muckerman: By far.
O'Reilly: Yeah.I actually didn't know we were this high.
Muckerman: Yeah. I knewthe level we were at, but I didn't know comparatively. Especiallywhen you talk about the growth in China and India of gasoline demand.
O'Reilly: Yeah. So,according to the United States Energy Information Administration...
Muckerman: The EIA,very good source for data andgeneral information, for anybody out there: www.eia.gov.
O'Reilly: For all you oil and gas nerds(laughs) in present company.
Muckerman: Yeah,fair enough.
O'Reilly: Is that the last website you look at at night and the first one in the morning?
Muckerman: Yes.
O'Reilly: I'm screwing with you. But theUnited States, EIA says, consumes 18.96 million barrels of oil per day. That is...
Muckerman: That's a lot.
O'Reilly: That's some oil.
Muckerman: Itmight sound like a lot,but then when you compare it to the next closest user of gasoline...
O'Reilly: China, 10.5 million.
Muckerman: See? Now you really realizejust how much the United States consumes.
O'Reilly: It reallytapers off from there. Japan, number three, is 4.5 million. Less than half. They import all of it. India, 3.6. Russia. 3.5.
Muckerman: Meanwhile,Russia is the world's leading producer of oil,and they consume very littlecomparatively.
O'Reilly: Yeah.I was actually surprised how much Saudi Arabia consumes. They're in the seventh spot here,and they actually consume just under 3 million barrels. Don't they use it for other stuff than cars?
Muckerman: Yeah,a lot of their energy and power comes from oil.
O'Reilly: Yeah, they burn it.
Muckerman: Yeah. It'ssuch an abundant resource over there. But, they realize thatoil revenue is not going to last forever, so they've beenreally gearing up for a renewable revolution inSaudi Arabia.
O'Reilly: Solar.
Muckerman: Yeah, absolutely. They're inthe right part of the world for it.
O'Reilly: One ofthe only things more abundant than oil in Saudi Arabia is sunlight.
Muckerman: Well, sand. But that's a great reflector.
O'Reilly: Before we head out, Taylor, any stocks you're interested in right now?
Muckerman: Yeah,we can link the stock back to the first topic,drones. The company is calledAeroVironment(NASDAQ: AVAV), ticker AVAV. Traditionally has been linked to thegovernment and military spending, throughunmanned aircraft systems. Been acontractor with the government for 20-25 years. That's the biggest portion of their business,but they are branching out into drones for use in oil, gas, additional applications in the U.S. military, also,electric vehicle charging stations. So,kind of a diverse company herewith the backbone of the U.S. governmentfor the majority of their revenue right now. But then they give you avenues of growth with drones andelectric vehicle charging stations, among other things. The stock sold offquite recently,end of August, August 31st. Looking good. Balance sheet is pretty strong. But because it's a contract-basedcompany at the moment, revenueisn't quite as visible, so there is some lumpiness there. But a business that anyone that'sinterested in profiting off ofincreased use of drones and the like,I think this is a cool company to take a look at. That's ticker AVAV.
O'Reilly: All right.Thank you for your thoughts, Taylor! Have a good one!

Tell me again why the Kansas City Chiefs felt the urge to trade up 17 spots to take a quarterback they probably could have landed had they stayed at No. 27?
The Chiefs made one of most jaw-dropping moves of the opening night of the NFL draft when they traded their own pick, plus next year's precious first-round pick, plus one of their third-rounders this year to choose Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Mahomes was regarded as a late first-rounder by most of the draftniks or early second-rounder. But something lit the Chiefs' fuse to move up and choose him, eschewing the more renowned Deshaun Watson of national champion Clemson. Watson went No. 12 to Houston and let's hope he doesn't develop into an All-Pro since he'll probably start from Day One.
This is a bold move for a franchise that's known for playing it close to the vest. Mahomes played on a mediocre Texas Tech team that often put up pinball numbers in the defenseless Big 12, where basketball scores are more the norm.
Mahomes is the first quarterback the Chiefs have picked in the first round since 1983, when they totally botched the No. 7 pick and went with Todd Blackledge, bypassing future Hall of Famers Dan Marino and Jim Kelly. Blackledge was an unmitigated bust who admitted he was surprised when he was picked so high. That shaped the Chiefs for the next 10 years as they were mostly terrible until Marty Schottenheimer finally righted the ship.
For Chiefs fans expecting the second coming of Dak Prescott, forget it. Mahomes — who is a terrific athlete — is going to be carrying a clipboard next year and wearing a headset, unless something happens to incumbent Alex Smith.
However, if the Chiefs cut Smith after next season (if they deem Mahomes ready), they would save id="mce_marker"7 million against the salary cap. The Chiefs have been financially strapped the last couple of years because of some forgettable deals that were made more on lifetime achievement than current production.
So it may be until 2019 before we know if the Chiefs mortgaged their future for dust in the wind. Mahomes played in a spread offense at Tech and has to learn to take the ball from under center. That may not sound like much, but you'd be surprised how difficult it is for college spread quarterbacks to make the transition.
Andy Reid is considered somewhat of a quarterback guru. Apparently he saw enough in Mahomes to push GM John Dorsey to pull the trigger on the Chiefs' most aggressive move that anyone can remember. They are coming off a 12-4 season with Smith at quarterback, but he's proven he can't get the Chiefs deep into the playoffs. He's a game manager, not a game-winner — a guy who's going to make plays like a Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers to win a game. He's not the biggest piece in the Chiefs' puzzle, more like a best supporting actor.
Mahomes has all the physical attributes and certainly looks the part. Let's hope he can play because the stigma of the Blackledge disaster still hangs over this franchise. If he's a bust, the Chiefs will be set back another 10 years.

First Loon Admission of the Season/
1:00 p.m. 4-21-18 our first loon of the year was admitted from Richland Center, WI. The loon was trapped on a retention pond, with no fish for a few weeks. She is thin and lethargic. We will do blood work in the morning. For now she is fed and safe.
Loons run along the surface of water into the wind to get airborne. They need several hundred meters to take off from the surface of a body of water. Loons legs are positioned in a way that is perfect for life in the water, diving and swimming,but not for standing or walking. Once they accidentally land on land or a small body of water they are unable to leave and die without intervention.
We are gratetful to our terrific loon capture team, Kevin and Linda Grenzer, and a host of fabulous people that helped this delicate operation including Barbara Duerksen, Steve Goering, John Kraak, Donna Schmitz, Debby Johnson, Jane Furchgott, and Kerri Kowing,
Thank you everyone.

We know it's hard to choose what cities to visit in Europe, but if Budapest, Hungary isn't on your list — it should be! Especially if you are trying to budget for a trip here, these free things to do will come in handy.
Pst: We wrote a whole guide called Traveling On A Budget that you'd probably be interested in.
If you're planning on traveling Europe or even want to spend a semester volunteering in Europe, you'll have to make sure you make it to Budapest. This city is already a favorite vacation spot for a lot of reasons ... but one reason is because there are so many free things to do here.
Free Things To Do In Budapest, Hungary
- Photograph Parliament
- Visit Hero Square
- Hike To The Top Of Gellert Hill
- Join A Walking Tour
- Enjoy the the lights at night
- Stroll around Fisherman's Bastion
- Adventure In City Park
- Check Out The Communist Statue Park
- Visit The Jewish Quarter
- Walk Along The River
Photograph Parliament
The Parliament building is one of the most stunning things about this city. You can see if from both sides of the river which is fine, because you can't really get sick of that view. Take some time to walk around the grounds and truly appreciate this structure before exploring the rest of the city.
Visit Hero Square
If you love history, visit Hero Square. It's one of the major squares in Budapest and boasts some impressive statues of past Hungarian readers. Read up on a little history and so you can give your ILP group a tour of who's who in Hero Square.
Hike To The Top of Gellert Hill
This is a must do while in Budapest! You can't miss this hike. Be sure to go all the way to the top because the view is unlike anything you've seen before!
If you didn't know, Budapest was actually two separate cities, Buda and Pest, but were combined to make the country's capital. If you start on the Pest side, you can cross Elizabeth's bridge over to the hill-y Buda side. After crossing that bridge, you'll see a set of stairs that will take up you to the statue of Gellert. Then, just follow that pathway op to the top!
Join A Walking Tour
If you didn't know, free walking tours in Europe are incredibly popular, and there are bound to be several to choose from in the historic city of Budapest. They are usually a couple of hours long and you'll join a guide who will take you to the city's most famous sites and explain the history.
The tour is totally free, but it's customary to tip your guide a bit if you had an enjoyable time ... but the tip's amount is totally up to you, making this a very affordable way to spend an afternoon. That link above has information about finding a walking tour in your city.
Enjoy The Lights At Night
The city will light up as soon as it gets dark — meaning you get to see the Buda and Pest sides twice in one day, with incredibly different views. When I was serving abroad in Lithuania, my ILP group took a trip to Budapest and one of my favorite memories was just sitting along the Danube River across from the Parliament building, soaking it all in!
Stroll Around Fisherman's Bastion
You would have never guessed this hidden gem would be in Budapest, but it is! This incredibly intricate castle is one of the most underrated parts of the city, so be sure to grab your camera and take lots and lots of pictures (those pictures can also be a free souvenir of your trip, so take a ton!).
Adventure In City Park
Not only is it a beautiful park, there are unusual statues that are fun to see — plus, some of the trees in this park were planted way back in 1751! There are plenty of benches and shady spots where you can find a place to eat lunch.
Check Out The Communist Statue Park
When all the Communist statues were taken down in the city, they were exiled to a park. It is now considered an open air museum you can walk around. Make sure you check it out!
Visit The Jewish Quarter
This is another unique place to visit for all you history buffs (do you get the vibe that living in Europe and traveling around might be perfect for someone who loves history?) Anyways, this part of town is worth a stroll, peeking into synagogues and street art and the buzzing markets.
Walk Across The Bridge
It sounds kind of boring, but it's a gem worth doing! This is especially fun to do at night when the city is all lit up — make sure you see the view of Parliament in the day time, then head over and walk across that bridge that spans the Danube River and take in the sites at night ... but it's awfully pretty in the day time, too.
If you're looking for another must do activity and don't mind spending a couple of bucks, make sure you visit the hot springs. Trust me, they aren't free but they are so worth it. Do not leave Budapest without lounging in these dreamy springs.
Oh, and one more thing — It's very easy to get over to Budapest if you're already living in Europe! International Language Programs (ILP for short) has years of experience sending college-aged volunteers abroad to teach English or volunteer in an orphanage in Europe. Plus, you'll get weekends off and vacation days to hop over to see places like Hungary, Italy, Sweden, Greece, France, the Czech Republic and tons of other favorite vacation spots.
Get a little help deciding what European country is right for you — or you can get a glimpse into what life is like for our ILP Ukraine volunteers below:

Ever since our book about surviving bipolar disorder was published, my son, Max Maddox, and I have been speaking to many, varied audiences about mental illness, telling our personal story about his illness and my role as his mom and advocate. As I speak from my perspective, I always talk about how difficult and sometimes impossible it was to find help and good treatment and how broken our mental health care system is. Max and our family have been lucky in that we've stumbled our way through, fought for what we needed, and sometimes succeeded in what always felt like a hit and miss process. Too often we missed. It took years before Max found a good doctor and the treatment that works for him.
I go on to tell those in the audience that too many aren't as lucky. They never find access to treatment and as a result somewhere between 30-50% of those in our prisons suffer from mental illness and our jails have become our mental health care institutions. It costs us plenty—certainly it costs the taxpayers for the exorbitant and rising costs of housing prisoners — worse is the cost for those the mentally ill who languish in jails, untreated and isolated. Others who live with untreated mental illness end up homeless (an estimated 25%). It's a tragedy that so many with mental illness are never able to reach their full potential and join their rightful place in our communities.
When we ask for questions, someone in the audience always asks, "Do think the mental health care system is improving?"
I hate that my answer is "No." That funding for mental health care continues to be cut instead of increased. That the past ten years have seen some of the biggest cuts in history. That sequester has only made it worse. (I wrote a blog about the effects of sequester on those with mental illness a few months ago.) I don't like answering with such pessimism so I go on to say that I find hope in grassroots movements and non-profits like NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness), Mental Health America, and DBSA (Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance) who lobby in Washington and who provide support for those with mental illness and their families. And I find hope in the fact that many of those with mental illness and their families are speaking out. I think that's huge.
But my answers never feel adequate or encouraging enough. I wish that I could be more hopeful. Which brings me to the heart of this blog post:
I'd like to hear from others who have been involved with the mental health care system. What would you say if someone asked you whether things in mental health care are improving?
I hope you'll comment here or contact me at my website: www.kathybrandtauthor.com

Four Year Anniversary, Leaky Plumbing, & a Broken Fridge
Thursday June 2nd, 2016 was Trey's and mine 4 yr anniversary. We spent it stressed out and road tripping. The day started simply, I woke up and got all the last minute things together after spending the night before doing the things detailed in my last blog post. The morning was spent frantically stressing to get everything ready to drive to Colorado. And then Trey got home from his day teaching summer school. We were putting ice in the ice chest and realized something awful. Our freezer wasn't freezing. The ice was half water.
On our 4 yr anniversary, our freezer died.
The irony of this is that, apparently, the modern day gift for a 4 yr anniversary is appliances. Or, maybe that isn't ironic. I'm not sure.
My mother, little sister, and her boyfriend moved everything out of the freezer (but not before I fussed at my Mom in my stressed state because I thought she had a key to my house and she didn't. And then I cried because I fussed at my Mom and hung up out of anger. I called later and apologized because I felt awful.) as we drove through what was basically absolute hell; also known as driving through Dallas, in rush hour traffic, with the worst drivers, in the pouring rain. Words were had between both of us. As well as crying on my part.
You see, Trey is an aggressive 'get it done' driver and I am a cautious 'get it done' driver. Which makes him great in Dallas.
I also have anxiety about driving in the rain and just generally driving at all because I am 25 and have been in about seven wrecks and not one was my fault. Not.one. And a few have been pretty terrifying. So, as you can imagine it was awful. Trey is an amazing driver too, but anxiety isn't rational…
Anywho, the weekend was lovely. My sister-in-law married an amazing man and I seriously could.not be happier for them!
Then, we get home and a leak in our bathroom that we forgot about rears it's ugly head. We had a bucket under the sink catching water until we could fix it, and the bucket had been overflowing all weekend. Fun. So, now our particle board sink holder thingy is going to fall apart any day now and we have to buy a new fridge.
So, happy 4 yr anniversary Trey! I love you and all our adventures together! Haha!
Crisis averted. We got a 20-30yr old fridge for free and used that. And then a part came in for the fridge. My husband used his handiness and the internet to figure out what might be broken and was right! So, now we have two fridges! One for food, one as a kegerator for brewing beer!
The plumbing, yeah. We fixed the original problem and created two more. Really, the previous homeowners created one of them.
The one the previous homeowners created was shoddy plumbing work. Trey bumped something and the hot water pipe connection started leaking…*eyeroll/attitude face* *sigh*
The other issue is when we removed our fridge to put in the one we got for free, Trey cut the water line to the ice maker. Just not thinking. So, now when we can't reconnect it without some work. And the ice maker line is connected to the cold water in the bathroom. So, since it is not currently hooked up it just spews water if we turn on the cold water for the sink.
We just don't use the bathroom sink until we can get to it. *head-wall*

MPX to Participate in Panel at 2018 Cannabis World Congress Business Expo

TORONTO, Sept. 25, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MPX Bioceutical Corporation ("MPX" or the "Company") (CSE: MPX; OTC: MPXEF) announced that Beth Stavola, Chief Operating Officer of MPX, will be speaking at the 'Cannabis and the Capital Markets' panel at the Cannabis World Congress Business Expo (CWCBE) being held on Thursday, September 27, 2018 at the Los Angeles Convention Center in downtown Los Angeles.
Business opportunities in the cannabis industry are at an all-time high as the market is developing on a global level. There are still many layers to success in this industry and one of its leading voices, Beth Stavola, will provide industry insights to the panel addressing the pitfalls, opportunities, and lessons learned from the process of going public as a cannabis company in the United States and Canada.
The panel of speakers will be moderated by Lewis Goldberg, Managing Partner of KCSA Strategic Communications, and will include Kris Krane, President and Co-Founder, 4Front; Tahira Rehmattulah, Chief Financial Officer, MTech Acquisition Corp. and Managing Director, Hypur Ventures; William Simpson, CEO, Golden Leaf Holdings (CSE: GLH) (OTCQB: GLDFF) and Beth Stavola; c-suite executives of leading cannabis companies who have recently gone public or are in the process of going public.
"Taking a company from private to public is already a very challenging process, let alone attempting to do so in the cannabis industry," said Mrs. Stavola. "This panel considers all factors along the continuum of growing the industry and outlines strategies for effectively growing a cannabis company, providing a vital educational resource for entrepreneurs looking to enter the industry."
Mrs. Stavola, who entered the cannabis industry in 2012 as an investor, became Chief Operating Officer of MPX Corporation when they purchased her flourishing Arizona marijuana venture in January 2017. She is also the President of US Operations for MPX.

We got….
Bell Pepper, Cantaloupe, Chard, Cucumber, Eggplant, Golden Rave Tomatoes, Green Beans, Head Lettuce, Italia Sweet Peppers, Jalapeno Peppers, Juliet Tomatoes, Sweet Corn, Basil
Fruit – Peaches
My plans…
Everyday Food July/August 2010 features peppers in their side dish article. I may try sautéed with vinegar and herbs or stuffing them with sausage.
We are heading to a family picnic this weekend and since I'm always looking for ways to allow my husband to avoid the chard, I'm taking the Roasted Garbanzo Beans and Chard
I've been wanting to make this Afghan Eggplant. It has become a favorite among some of my friends and me.
I did score a large eggplant, so maybe I'll make Spaghetti Alla Norma from "The Great Green Cookbook" too. I love eggplant and there is just so much I want to make with it.
Golden Rave Tomatoes and Green Beans
We have been invited to spend a day at a lake and we are going to take this Green Bean and Roasted Tomato Salad with us.
I want to try this Grilled Chicken and Peaches with Chipotle-Peach Dressing.
I want to work out a way to make the dressing with the fresh peaches, not with the preserves it suggests. We'll see.
I'm also going planning to make a Soba Noodle recipe in Everyday Food J/A 2010. They suggest grilling shrimp or chicken and serving those with the noodles and any number of vegetable toppings and an orange dipping sauce. I thought this would work well for when there is a little bit of this and a little bit of that leftover.

A Bucket List for Summer Fun
Summer. A time to relax, unwind, and enjoy what the sunny season brings. From movies and concerts to picnics and hikes, summer has loads of activities to offer. Although after a few weeks most teens and young adults run out of things to do and end up with the "I am bored on the couch watching TV" type of summer.
Luckily, I am here to put an end to that mindset and jump start your summer with 41 bucket list ideas that apply to any city!
- Go to a drive through wildlife safari or the zoo
- Visit your local Farmer's Market
- Volunteer at a Humane Society
- Float in nearby river
- Go tour your state's capitol
- Try kayaking
- Find a recipe and make it
- Have a bonfire
- Attend a live concert
- Meet someone new
- Visit a friend in another city or state
- Read a book
- Go thrift shopping
- Watch the sun rise
- Go to an art gallery

Inspired by this list are some common themes. For example, enjoy the outdoors. Stargazing and flying kites might remind you of your youth, but the carefree days outdoors don't have to be over. Grab a friend and hit the park, you will not be disappointed by the adventure it brings.
I strongly encourage you to use this as a muse for your own bucket list. Enjoy this summer, mark things off the list, take pictures to remember each activity by, and make a bucket list collage when you finish!

Griffith City Council is supporting the national campaign Stop it at the Start to help reduce violence against women and children.
Griffith Mayor, Councillor John Dal Broi, said that all people should be aware of the impact words and actions have on young people, who can often see them as permission to behave in a certain way.
It doesn't matter who you are, violence against women and children is not acceptable and won't be tolerated. We all need to be mindful of the messages we are giving young people.

Other Stuff You Might Like 👍
well, I'm a little excited today cause i just managed to get my first pair of yeezy's after taking L's on both the Breds and the zebra yeezy. And with summer coming up, having an all white pair of yeezys in my collection means i'll look good at this year's cook outs. But getting these yeezy's wasn't so easy, and i thought id share that story with you guys. At first i tried to get raffle tickets from my local finish line store, but when i actually there with my friends the clrek told us they ran out of raffle tickets. So we basically went there for no reason. The next day i tried to reserve my pair on the adidas confirmed app but when the time came the adidas confirmed app decided to crash on me.
Then the next day my friends told me Pacsun was having a raffle and we made plans to go get raffle tickets later in the day. But when we were getting ready to leave I had to cancel last minute to do a favor for my mom. And i mean, you cant say no to your momma right?! I wasn't going to be like "Sorry Mom, i cant do you your favor cause I'm going to get a raffle ticket so that i can have the opportunity to buy a pair of Shoes" But i did manage to get my raffle ticket from Pacsun later in the day after I did that favor. But after I got my raffle ticket I waited all day friday hopping to get a call from Pacsun but it never came. So i was like damn it i didnt win the shoes. So the next day I got up and went to the gym to workout chest like i do every saturday morning. So I'm bench pressing and i make my way up to my 275 singles and then my phone rings while I'm working my way out of the hole. And the phone call went a little like this. A young lady says "Hi This is Sarah From Pacsun, I just wanted to let you that unfortunately one of the initial winners of our Yeezy raffle didn't pick up their pair by 12pm today so we had to redraw another winner and that winner was you" So after I was finished with my workout I went home, showered and changed and pick up these guys up.
So yeah, these are the cream white yeezy 350 V2. they are super clean and they have that super iconic silhouette. But i really like the subtle textures at play on the prime of this shoe. if you look really closely these shoes still have the classic stripe on the side, its not in a contrasting color but but you can see the change in the texture. Also these shoes arent solid white, they're a little off white hence the name cream. Down the center of the shoe you'll see the stitching, and that stitching is truly white and hopefully you'll be able to see the difference. another subtle detail i like about these shoes is how the textures meet down the middle.
On the back of the shoe you'll see a pull tab without any contrasting stitching. and above that you'll see another pull tab with the adidas logo on it. and those 3 stripes are 3m. The midsole on these shoes is also off-white and you can still see the boost underneath. and on the bottom of the shoe you can see cut outs and see more of the boost material. Concerning fit, these shoes are a little tighter than i expected. These are my first pair of yeezy and I got a size ten and i can see now why a lot people say go a size half up. I mean I'm going to keep getting size 10 yeezy's but if you have a wider foot then you should go up half a size.
But yeah, these are the triple white yeezy 350 v2. they're super clean and super dope. I just feel lucky i won the raffle after Pacsun had to redraw another winner cause someone didnt pick their pair up. Who know's these might be my new lucky shoes. actually, as i was walking around the mall after i picked these up some guy who was holding 4 yeezy boxes ran up to me and said he would give me $400 for mine. He was clearly going to resell them. and me being me replied "Nah if you want these you gotta do $600" So what do you think, should i have sold them for $400? How much do you think the cream white yeezy will re-sell for? People don't think prices will go so high cause there are so may of them.
But comment below and let me know what you think. Even if he did offer me $600 i think i would have still said no cause I just really wanted yeezys. Maybe if i win the next pair of yeezys then i might resell sell those, I'm not a huge fan of the next olive ones to drop. But let me know, did you manage to cop the cream white yeezy? did you take an L? What do you think about the Next color way thats dropping? comment below.

Timur and Amur: The friendship between a goat and a tiger
When i first saw this, i checked twice to see it was really true, and indeed it was .
The strange friendship between a tiger and a goat is one story that has indeed broken the internet.
A month ago, at a safari park in the far east of Russia, a goat, Timur was released into a Siberia tiger's, Amur enclosure as a live prey.
And shockingly , instead of the expected reaction, a strange bond was forged and the bond between these two has overnight become an internet sensation with Zoo located in Russia getting more visit than usual while some fans have been following the pair's progress via a live webcam.
How long can this friendship last
