The first rock 'n roll reality show has been away for too long
It's over 10 years since The Osbournes left our screens. And since 2005, there hasn't been another show like it. Keeping Up With the Kardashians follows the same premise: a fly-on-the-wall look at a bizarre, incredible family. But the scenes from Kim and co.'s adventures are in another world, and nothing matches the cuss-filled madness of Ozzy's daily tedium.
Last week, the world was given a timely reminder of The Osbournes' brilliance. Ozzy and Sharon appeared on the Stand Up To Cancer celebrity Gogglebox special, passing comment on telly favourites alongside the likes of Jeremy Corbyn, Ed Sheeran and Liam Gallagher. There were many highlights; Corbyn passionately discussing egg recipes; Big Narstie not knowing who Nigella Lawson is; Big Narstie in general. But Ozzy was the real star of the show. His incredulity towards University Challenge's very existence was the show's standout moment.
"I don't understand the question. I don't understand the show. I don't understand why it's still on fucking TV." Ozzy there, summing up most people's thoughts on University Challenge. His aghast Brummie-tongued expletives have been sorely missed.
On the off chance Ozzy and Big Narstie don't get a show together in the wake of Gogglebox, MTV needs to bring back The Osbournes. Ozzy, Sharon, Kelly and Jack were incredible. They spat F bombs for fun; they turned everyday, normal life situations into chaos; and they set a standard for the once-derided reality TV format. Nobody can make a visit from a dog therapist such a traumatic experience.
It wouldn't be easy to bring the show back. The four family members no longer live under the same roof ("I'm very happy about that!" Kelly joked in 2015). Ozzy and Sharon's relationship has also been complicated. After years staying sober, Ozzy relapsed in 2013 and was threatened by divorce. There was trouble again in 2016, when whispers emerged of another relapse, which Ozzy denied. The show's been rumoured for a return since 2014, when Sharon claimed new episodes were being filmed, but these have yet to emerge.
There's hope for a revival, though. Kelly told Celebrity Juice viewers an Osbournes comeback could be imminent. "We've talked about it and it's something that if we are going to do it again, the way we did it is so different, we did it on MTV and that had never been done before so if we're going to come back, we'd want to do it in a way that has never been done before either," she said. Plus, Ozzy and Jack have been starring in a show of their own – Ozzy & Jack's World Detour, an off-the-wall travel diary for the History channel. Combine this with the brief Gogglebox cameo, and we could be seeing a return of this beloved show sooner than we think.

I wrapped up my 2011 with 3 FABULOUS weddings each one so unique from the next. Carly and Wesley's wedding took place at the exquisite Ritz-Carlton Grand Lakes here in Orlando and took a classic turn on having a wedding during the Holidays. They kept it elegant using white tones and silver accents throughout. Even their desserts were white chocolate everything…all that a girl could ask for. Carly and Wes opted to see each other before hand and what a moment it was. When Carly turned around and saw Wes standing there, I could feel a huge calm come over here as she shed a few tears. It was as if she could now relax now that she was with him. After signing the Ketubah, their traditional Jewish ceremony took place underneath a white gazebo overlooking a lake. The weather was amazing for December, low 70's and clear as a bell, perfect for their outdoor reception. And what a sight that was! You can see in the images below from the detail shots and Carly's reaction that the decor was absolutely breath-taking. Thanks to Heather Snively and her team and the gorgeous floral from the talented team at Botanica, the space was transformed into an all-white fairy tale complete with white chiavari chairs and twinkling market lights. Carly and Wes were such a dream to work with, so laid back, but yet knowing exactly what they want at the same time…a great combination. I truly enjoyed documenting their wedding and all of the priceless moments that occurred within. Thanks Carly and Wes for being you and congratulations on one spectacular wedding! xoxo – Abby

Sampha//Process Album Review
by Katie Ward
I'll come clean and admit that up until about two weeks ago, I had never heard of Sampha. Featured on other artist's albums, such as Drake, Kanye West, Frank Ocean, Solange - it was time for this talented musician to finally release a piece of magic of his own. Until I had heard Sampha's newest album, "Process" I hadn't heard such soothing and electrifying tunes. Since then, my Spotify account has been burning through each song.
"Blood on Me," and "(No One Knows Me) Like The Piano," are just two of the beautifully mastered singles that Sampha released months before the full album dropped. As you absorb yourself into 10 tracks, you notice that the two songs were merely small fragments of what would soon make an album that allowed each song to flow gently to the next.
From the beginning to end, "Process" has been carefully produced-- never letting you stop fighting the urge to nod your head to the continuous bass and make your whole body dance in your seat. It's easy to get completely distracted by Sampha's unique, deep toned voice as he reels you in with the first track, "Plastic 100 C," and takes you on a journey of surprise.
From romance, depression and nostalgia, Sampha has created a story within his music - beginning his musical novel with more of a subtle and easy tune that allows you to slowly grow deeper into each line he sings. As the album turns toward a more bittersweet tone it steers down a deeper corner of his mind. By the sixth track "Reverse Faults," Sampha reels you in even further with his powerful word choices and aggressive beats.
There's no question when we say Sampha's newest album is and will continue to be a hit. It's easy nowadays for artists to become shadowed behind the hundred of other up-and-coming musicians. As a new fan, I can only say his name has left a bold imprint on my Spotify playlist history and I advise everyone else to hop on the same train.

Read this CAE ESSAY SAMPLE sent to us by a CAE student. Surf our web for more on CAE. We recommend How to write an Essay
You have recently had a class debate in which students discussed whether knowledge or social connections were more useful in achieving success. Your teacher has asked you to write an essay giving your opinion on the following statement:
« It's not what you know, but who you know that counts »
Write your essay in 220-260 words
What you know or who you know?
I strongly believe that having the right skills and qualifications is essential in order to get a good job and succeed in life. However, with the large numbers of people competing for jobs nowadays, aren't social connections equally important?
Some parents encourage their sons and daughters to keep up with the academic work in order to acquire the necessary knowledge to get into college and obtain a well-paid job one day. These young people do their best to be the first student in the class, they qui ttheir social life and have very few friends. But then when they finish their studies, despite their impressive marks, they struggle to find a job.
On the other hand we can find a group of people who were not necessarily brilliant at college but who have the right connections. They are the ones who get a good place in a company because they know the right people. Having knowledge is undoubtedly important but I think we all need a little push from others to succeed in today´s society.
Nevertheless I want to make it clear that I believe that getting a job only because you have connections is not fair and people should not be given a job if they do not have the right qualifications. The way I see it both, knowledge and connections, are equally important.

We've all heard about mediation - but many of us have no idea how this process of alternative dispute resolution actually unfolds. The idea of sitting down with someone that we are in conflict can be intimidating and its hard to imagine how we can get anything resolved without an arbitrator dictating the terms of resolution. Mediation is actually a beautiful process in which the parties themselves come up with solutions and after discussion agree on how to resolve conflict. This agreement is then put into writing, with both parties signing. The process if done correctly is empowering to the parties and the agreements are usually adhered to - because they are created by the parties themselves.
There are usually six steps to a formal mediation:
1) Introductory remarks
2) Statement of the problem by the parties
3) Information gathering
4) Identification of the conflict – what needs to be resolved
5) Bargaining and generating solutions
6) Reaching an agreement
Introductory Remarks
The parties and mediator meet together in a comfortable physical location. It is much more effective and empowering for both parties to be in the same room for this process - facing each other and speaking and listening to each other. With an effective mediator the parties can trust that they will be respected and safe. The mediator will start the session by outlining the process and rules. The mediator will define the protocol and set the time frame for the process. There will be a review of the mediation guidelines and the mediator will briefly recap what it is that the parties are in conflict about. This opening statement by the mediator will set out the ground rules for the mediation. These ground rules are what help the mediation go smoothly and both sides must affirmatively agree to adhere to the process as spelled out during this time.
Exploring the conflict
After the opening statement, the mediator will give each side the opportunity to speak without interruption on their perspective on how the conflict was created. The mediator serves as a third party witness and remains neutral – encouraging each party to speak freely and listen to the other party when its their turn. This forum for the statement of the problem is meant to allow each party uninterrupted time, where they can tell their side of the conflict. It also gives the parties an opportunity to frame the key issues that need to be resolved. By giving each party a chance to speak and listen the parties are able to define what needs to be addressed to resolve the conflict. More often then not when the parties actually hear both sides empathy is created which then decreases hostility and balances the power between the sides.
Information Gathering
The mediator will ask the parties open-ended questions to try to get the parties to understand the under currents and perhaps not obvious roots of the conflict. The mediator should repeat back key ideas to the parties, and will summarize the key issues of each party at the end of their turn. The mediator's role is to keep the parties on track and build rapport by holding a safe space where people are able to speak and be heard without interruption.
The mediator may decide to hold a caucus (private session) with each party in order to move the negotiations along or if emotions get high in the room. This caucus session will be confidential. The caucus provides a safe environment in which to brainstorm and bring underlying fears to the surface.
Problem Identification
After each party has spoken, the mediator and the parties create a list of the key issues in conflict that need to be addressed.
Generating Solutions
Once the participants have defined the areas in dispute, the mediator will facilitate a brainstorming session to explore potential solutions. Usually, all potential solutions are explored and new solutions are often discovered as a part of this process.
The goal of the session is to find some common ground by exploring lots of options, and to bring about possible solutions for the parties to think about that might not have been explored before each party had the opportunity to speak and be heard in a neutral non-confrontational setting. Bargaining often takes place during this time and compromise is often a key ingredient, as both parties work to come up with a tenable solution together.
By generating solutions together the parties usually come up with an agreement in real time during the mediation session. The mediator will draft this agreement and both parties will sign it – usually on the same day.
Thus, mediation provides a platform for conflict resolution by creating a safe place for both parties to speak and be heard. Its purpose is to enable people to come up with their own solution by working together – and hence most solutions are adhered to as each party has a hand in creating it. Mediation saves the parties the time and money by not having to resort to the courts and is self-empowering for the individuals involved.

Two CHEAP Tools That Every Cinematographer Should Have/
Rarely do I impulse buy new toys for myself but I just couldn't resist with these two. Because they are both incredibly cheap AND looked to be very fun to play with. The Røde smartLav ($59.99, depending where you shop) and the KICK light from Rift Labs ($179) are two amazing tools that every shooter should have in their arsenal.
As videographers we all have to shoot talking heads every once in a while (interviews, not the band) and the ideal way to capture crisp audio for them is with a wireless lav. Decent mics can be mighty expensive to buy and renting all the time can be a hassle. Røde has created an inexpensive solution: a wireless lav that you plug into your iPhone or iPad that records quality audio.
You can use whatever audio recording program you like, but there are two Røde apps in the iTunes store (a free version and a Pro version for $5.99) that they recommend you use. Having just installed it I'm still getting familiar with it and have yet to try it out in the wild. When I do, I'll share the results. One downside that I see to this device is that you cannot monitor the audio as you're recording. So if you're ever using it for a VERY important interview you might be sweating bullets praying to god that it is capturing clean audio.
By far the coolest gadget here is the KICK light which is a deceptively small-yet-powerful LED light from Rift Labs. It is controlled through your iPhone via a free app that allows you to adjust the intensity, colour and behavior of the light remotely. This little sucker is powerful and versatile. It can be used even as a fill light for a fairly large scene. I used it the other day on set and will be asking for footage so that I can share the results.

(New User) TYING A BASIC KNOT - Best method to guide my Wire ends around?
Slideshow_Blob posted a topic in Animation & RiggingHi, ODfellows! This is my first post. I'm glad to in the company of experts. I'm hoping some kind soul can help stop my accelerating hair-loss. So... I'm trying to tie a basic shoelace style knot. I've made groups for the ends of my wire to make "aglets" (the bits on the end of shoelaces), but I'm having trouble guiding them around. Am I missing something obvious? Thanks! Slideshow Blob

Six weeks ago Austin, Texas was abuzz with thoughts of seeing a Democrat defeat Senator Ted Cruz. Austin is an anomaly in the Lone Star state, a place dominated by left-leaning state government workers and anti-American propaganda. With nearly a million residents, it can exert considerable influence upon the rest of the state but normally not nearly enough to sway statewide elections. Still, the Beto O'Rourke campaign, which lives and dies primarily on Austin-centered support, thought that maybe, just maybe, this time would be different.
It won't. Texas voters are now preparing to hand Mr. O'Rourke an old-school Texas ass whooping in November.
O'Rourke, a native of El Paso which sits nearly on top of the U.S. Mexico border, is a product of open-borders ideology. He became close to the state government power brokers in Austin following his becoming a member of the El Paso city council. O'Rourke's primary political platform at that time was open borders and an end to the War on Drugs, positions which won him considerable support among the large Latino El Paso population and the wealthy white liberals who dominate Austin.
In 2012 O'Rourke ran for and won a seat in the U.S. Congress. He won re-election in 2014. In 2016 he endorsed Hillary Clinton for president and was made a super-delegate, a position which made him among those who many feel ultimately stole the nomination from Bernie Sanders. It wasn't long before the Clinton Machine was urging Mr. O'Rourke to take on Ted Cruz and deliver Democrats a stunning anti-Trump victory in Texas.
That victory does not appear to be forthcoming. As of this writing, Senator Cruz enjoys near double-digit leads in multiple pre-election polls with the winds of momentum clearly at his back. And while some of this success is due to Mr. Cruz's strong debate performances against the visibly ill-informed and too often awkward O'Rourke the more likely reason for O'Rourke's falling poll numbers is the full-throated endorsement of Cruz by President Donald Trump which in turn has mobilized the 4.7 million Trump supporters in Texas to push Mr. Cruz across the finish line first.
If current trends hold, and there appears to be no reason why they wouldn't, Ted Cruz is likely to defeat O'Rourke by as much as a million votes even after tens of millions of out-of-state dollars have poured into the O'Rourke campaign in recent weeks.
Democrats continue to dream of 'turning Texas blue.' That is nowhere close to happening in 2018 thanks in great part to the continued loyalty Texas voters have for Donald Trump.

Olga Radko took the lead on this activity for the 2012 Circle on the Road festival.
AUDIENCE: 5th grade and up
In Euclidean geometry, the shortest distance between two points is along the straight line connecting them. The distance between two points is the length of the shortest line connecting them. Normally, such a path is a straight line. But in a city consisting of a square grid of streets shortest paths between two points are no longer straight lines (as every cab driver knows). We will explore the geometry of this unusual distance and play several related games.

APPRENTICES: Pari Ford, Elisa Young, Kathy O'Hara, Cynthia Davis, Michele Anderson
DISCUSSION: The attached hand out provides a full description.
I just had some fun playing with the problems. Thanks Olga. I'll start by giving you my thoughts about the answers, and then you guys can let me know if I'm on the right track.
Before I start, did any of you get instructions yet on where and when we are supposed to show up? Are we supposed to be there on Friday?
OK, Problem 3. #1. The two points live on horizontal or vertical line segments.
#2. Any two points where the difference between both coordinates is non-zero.
#3.Can't do it. Triangle Inequality gets in the way.
Problem 4. #1. The closest point is (1,1) but I had to use Calulus to prove it. I said the points on the line segment joining (2,0) and (0,2) look like (x, 2-x). Then I did the distance formula, but to find a minimum, I took the derivative. Help! We could try to graph the parabola, but that's a little bit much for 5th graders too. Yikes.
#2. y + x = 2
#3. distance = x + y
#4. We should maybe re-think the wording here. Should we assume the points on the line segment have integer coordinates?
Circles and pi in Taxicab Geometry
#1. I could describe the circle as either a square or diamond. Any preference?
#2. Let's skip the drawing for email purposes.
#3. I got (1,1) and (1,-1)
#4. I computed the circumference in taxicab geometry – so each edge of the circle is has length 2r. The total circumference is 8r, and if I divide that by the diameter, I get 4.
Game Two: Find the hidden treasure.
This was challenging. I got 5 questions as the max. I plotted the starting point, and its corresponding taxicab circle with radius equal to the distance between it and the treasure. So I was looking at a graph with my starting point as the center, and the circle of taxicab radius r, and the assumption that the treasure was somewhere on the circumference. Knowing that, I thought it a good idea to place the second and third guesses on any two adjacent corners, and to go from there. (That's three questions now. ) If both distances were twice the first answer, then I knew the treasure was on the side opposite the segment that is defined by the second and third guess. If they weren't I did some more logical type tests in order to tease out which edge the treasure was located. Once I knew that, I needed at most two questions to figure out its location.
The trick for me was to prove some lemma about the distance function between the treasure and the four corners. But maybe there is a simpler way?
Game Three: Perpendicular Bisectors.
I just graphed them. C was the most curious, and could probably use a follow up question. But maybe that's what the School Districts' Boundaries is about?
I'm ready for the Boundaries problem and Lloyd's game.
See you all soon. Let me know if I messed up.
Best, Kathy
Since Kathy O'Hara posted first, I'll post anything I have differently.
Problem 3: Same answers.
Problem 4:
1) I got (1,1) as well, but I don't think it'll be necessary to have the participants prove it through Calc methods. It's simple enough to tell that (1,1) is closest by trial and error using Pythagorean, and I think that's probably sufficient for this activity.
4) I was also confused with the wording of this problem at first, but I think it's just asking for the closest point to the origin using taxicab. So, that would mean all points on the segment, since the paths to any point, whether the coordinates are integers or not, are drawn with horizontal and vertical lines. (Ex. (0,0) to (1.5,0.5) would be 1.5+0.5=2)
Circle&Pi: Same answers.
Find the Hidden Treasure:
I got 4 moves (as a max), but it seems that Olga is saying that we are trying to find the least number of moves. I was confused with the wording here and the objective, because find the least number of moves could mean that 1 move (being very lucky, of course) could get a player to the treasure. Olga says 2 moves would suffice to win.
What I thought was:
1st move – initial guess; ask the distance
2nd move – draw circle using given distance, pick a point on an edge away from the side's center which will narrow it down to either 2 points or 1 side; ask distance
3rd move – choose one of these 2 points or a point from the side; ask distance.
4th move – keeping track of all the circles from previous moves, this move should land the player at the treasure.
(Are there any flaws to this?)
However, I'm still wondering whether we are working toward the same objective. Since Olga says that the objective is to find the minimum and not the maximum, there's a difference between our answers.

I wore my Clarion West shirt to Readercon. It reads "I like stories in which all the men are dead."
Some people loved it. Others scratched their head, said wow, and moved on. One guy looked like he was ready to take out all his pent up rage about the direction Sci fi and fantasy is going on me.
Let me explain. At Clarion we taught each other a lot. One of the things we grappled with was the portrayal of women in writing. This included critiquing and facing issues of abuse, consent, using women as a man's motivation, and more.
So, no, our quote isn't literal. We don't want to remove all men from fiction. But it embodies the thought of thinking of women first in fiction. What happens when they are not just set pieces? What happens when we stop looking at them from the male gaze? Maybe if we 'kill' our men characters (in whatever metaphorical way you choose, this is writing btw!), our women can live more on the page.
For me, someone at clarion, after my third or so story, said she would like to see me try a woman protagonist. Before that, in my head Afiya was a man.
Best advice I've taken up so far in writing.

Terrence Paul McCrary, Jr. Memorial
$36,880 of $20,000 goal
Terrence Paul McCrary, Jr., 22, was attending a birthday party at an Oakland, California art gallery/community center when gunfire erupted and Terrence and other young partygoers were caught in the middle of crossfire between two unknown men. Terrence and another young spirit, died at the scene during the early hours of Sunday morning, August 14. Terrence was a talented, budding artist in Berkeley, blessed with the gift of a warm spirit that resulted in him having a wealth of friends.
You may have known Terrence as "Lil' T," "T-Mack," or "Sweet T" -- but whatever the name, you knew his laugh, his warmth, his genuine interest in you, his cool and easy vibe, and how much he loved his family, his friends, all kinds of art, skateboarding, and of course, peace.
By donating now you will support Terrence's memorial services -- something his family could never have foreseen planning.
Thank you, and please, please spread your version of peace...Lil' T would want that for all of us.
The McCrary family (Terrence, Sr., Florence and Erika) sends their heartfelt and sincere appreciation for your warm remembrances, and incredible generosity during this tragic and painful time. The family is using the GoFundMe donations for Terrence Jr.'s funeral services and burial. Tonight marks the formal closure of this GoFundMe campaign.
Thank you again, and the McCrary family will keep you in their prayers, and leave you with words penned by Terrence Jr., -- and lastly -- peace, please.
"Time waits for no man, so time wasted is time lost. If opportunities come your way, take them and don't look back…So, I urge everyone to spend time with your loved ones 'cause just like that they can be gone -- leaving so much unsaid and unlearned."
-- Terrence Paul McCrary, Jr. (June 2015)
As you might imagine, this is something for which no parent is in any way ever remotely prepared. The emotional impact is beyond staggering, and the economic effects of putting a loved one to rest are substantial.
The generous response to this GoFundMe posting has been both deeply appreciated and beyond heartwarming.
Please know that the art continues with another loving mural -- this one featuring Terrence with his signature Charlie Brown hat. This Berkeleyside News link provides additional insights into Lil' T's spirit:
(By the way, "Lil' BadBadBad" stands for, "Being Absolutely Different.")
Many thanks to each of you -- you've continued to make a difference.
Kelli P. Wilder, on behalf of the McCrary Family (Terrence, Sr., Florence and Erika)
Your grace is humbling. Thank you for sending your prayers and sharing your loving "T-isms" with Terrence's family and friends.
Sending additional and deep thanks to the artists who created the amazing mural to honor Terrence Jr.'s spirit.
Kelli P. Wilder, on behalf of the McCrary Family
I love you lil bruh bruh...I'll see you when its my time to see you ♥ - Cutty Ian aka Lil Chris aka Curry Ian
Lil t is my cousin i havent seen him in a while but i remember his smile he was always happy no matter what i miss you little you will always have a spot in my heart

Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi vows to call shots after election landslide
Myanmar democracy champion Aung San Suu Kyi made it clear on Tuesday she was ready to defy attempts by the country's powerful military to clip her wings, as fresh results from Sunday's historic election showed her party heading for a resounding win.
As vote tallies trickled in, Suu Kyi's long-oppressed National League for Democracy looked set to take control of most regional assemblies as well as forming the central government, a triumph that will reshape the political landscape.
Suu Kyi is barred by the constitution from taking the presidency because her children are foreign nationals. But in two interviews on Tuesday, the Nobel peace laureate said that regardless of who was appointed president by the newly elected houses of parliament, she would call the shots.
Terminally ill man granted wish to see Star Wars movie has died
The terminally ill Texas man and Star Wars fan who was granted his dying wish to see the new The Force Awakens film before it comes out in theatres has died, just a few days after viewing the movie, the man's wife said in a Facebook post on Tuesday.
Daniel Fleetwood, 31 and afflicted with a form of cancer that spread to 90 per cent of his lungs, was able to watch an early cut of the highly anticipated new Star Wars film, due in theatres on Dec 18, his wife Ashley Fleetwood said on Facebook last week.
"Daniel put up an amazing fight to the very end. He is now one with God and with the force. He passed in his sleep and in peace. He will always be my idol and my hero," she wrote on Facebook on Tuesday.
Obese kids as young as eight show signs of heart disease
Some obese children as young as eight show significant signs of heart disease, according to research presented Tuesday at a major US cardiology conference.
Researchers compared 20 obese children and teenagers to 20 normal weight peers, and found that 40 per cent of the obese children were considered at high-risk for heart disease because of thickened heart muscle which can interfere with the muscle's pumping ability.
Overall, obesity was linked to 27 per cent more muscle mass in the left ventricle of their hearts and 12 per cent thicker heart muscles - both signs of heart disease.
Athletics: Shamed ex-IAAF head Diack resigns as foundation president
Disgraced former IAAF president Lamine Diack on Tuesday resigned as president of the International Athletics Foundation in the wake of damaging corruption charges that have rocked track and field.
The foundation is best known in the public eye for organising the prestigious black-tie gala awards, which honour the best athletes of the year.
The IAAF last week cancelled this year's annual gala just days after Diack was charged by French police with corruption over suspicions he took bribes to cover up doping cases.
Game Of Thrones newcomer leaks season 6 spoiler on Instagram
Game Of Thrones fans were offered a few tantalising clues as to what is planned for the next series of the hit show when French actor Elie Haddad posted a picture of his iPad featuring a page of the script on his Instagram page.
Realising his mistake, the 30-year-old rumoured Thrones newcomer quickly deleted the photo - but not before a few eagle-eyed fans had copied the post and set about deciphering what the text revealed.
Season six of GoT isn't set for release until April 2016.

|Where it all started! The iconic Sunlight Soap packaging
Welcome to "Port Sunlight 1938", a wargames blog about Port Sunlight and the Wirral in the UK.
The genre is A Very British Civil War (VBCW) in the late 1930s, so although the setting itself and much of the background is real, from now on things get interesting...
Port Sunlight is an ideal setting (to my mind!) for an ongoing struggle. The soap factory has a natural byproduct in glycerin, which has obvious uses in the manufacture of explosives. The workers of the soap factory, desperate to preserve their more or less idyllic working environment, struggle against outside influences who would invade, take over or otherwise infringe on the factory, the community and surrounding area. They are aided by and allied to the more formalised pro-Sunlight forces in the area (see below). The communists of the LFS, local BUF / fascist bodies and other militant forces would all dearly love access to the glycerin and raid frequently to that end.
My initial planning so far is heading this way...
Potential protagonists:
- Port Sunlight Worker's Militia (PSWM). More socialist than communist, the workers of the soap factory have formed themselves into a militia to defend their jobs and homes. They often "borrow" factory assets like trucks to further their activities.
- Leverhulme Local Defence Volunteers (LLDV). Raised by the current Lord Leverhulme and based at Thornton Manor, the LLDV are dedicated to preservation of the local area, including the industrial infrastructure.
- Others: Cheshire Yeomanry, Liverpool Docks Communists, Manchester BUF, Welsh, etc, etc.
- At all times the memory and history of the original Lord Lever, his family and what they stood for should be respected. My "inner gentleman philanthrope" will not permit anything less!
- Anyone is free to suggest ideas, participate or otherwise enter into the fun provided they respect point 1.
Tally bally ho!

Does the name "Bubbles" ring a bell? If you are a longtime opera fan it should. It didn't for me until my wife gave me Bubbles' autobiography for this past Christmas. Does the name "Belle Miriam Silverman" ring a bell? I bet even a lot of opera lovers don't recognize that one. Bubbles and Belle both belonged to the famous opera diva, Beverly Sills (1929-2007), a name I did recognize and associate with opera.
Reading her autobiography, diva is not the word that best describes Ms. Sills, as much as American does, as in hard working, fun loving, an all American, Jewish girl. Ms. Sills picked up her nickname as a child; she started performing at age three and took her stage name at age nine. Bubbles rose to become a major star on national and international opera stages, but surprisingly was long shunned by the Metropolitan Opera. Her bubbly, down to earth personality and quick wit led to frequent guest appearances on American television shows. I remember seeing her on the Johnnie Carson show. At that time, opera was not among my personal preferences. I only remember her as an amusing, talkative guest who was an opera singer.
Ms. Sills was gifted with most skills needed by opera singers. She had the voice, facility with languages, and an extraordinary memory. She was also an attractive and statuesque redhead. She loved the stage and acting and knew early what she wanted to do. She had a truly impressive work ethic. She had confidence borne of accomplishment early on and from a secret weapon – a highly supportive, even doting, mother who backed her in all things, affording voice lessons, travel, even making her costumes for most of her early appearances; I had the feeling that for a while the marquee should have read Beverly Sills and mother. But make no mistake, Beverly Sills earned her success and deserved her diva status. In the final chapter, she muses, "On May 26, 1977, I will be forty-eight years old and I have been singing since I was three. I have a repertoire of more than a hundred operas and I have sung in fifty or sixty of them, in opera or concert form. I have sung in every major opera house in the world. I have sung with all the major symphonies in this country and many abroad. For the past five years, I have averaged a hundred performances a year. If not the highest paid opera singer in the world, I am certainly among the top three. So, what do I do for an encore? More." Ms. Sills retired from singing in 1980.
Being American worked against Ms. Sills in the opera world of her day. According to her book, Sir Rudolf Bing, who ran the Metropolitan Opera form 1950 to 1972, did not believe that an American soprano could be good enough for the Met, without at least years of training in Europe. She was denied the Met imprimatur during the height of her career. He was finally forced to offer her a role at the Met at the end of his career and nearing the end of hers. That story and a few others regarding conflicts, people and operas she liked and some she didn't, all dealt with mostly matter of factly, are covered in a book that reads like a travelogue of Ms. Sills professional and personal life, but not too personal and always positive. We learn of her marriage and her children's physical challenges and how that led to her work with the March of Dimes. This is not a tell all book, though she does mention that Pavarotti once pinched her on the behind. One of the best features of the book is the over 200 photographs of Ms. Sills and her family, friends, and colleagues, most having famous names you may recognize.
Of course, having read the book, I had to listen to some of her recorded work , and I dialed up "The Best of Beverly Sills" on Apple Music. Within seconds, the talent and artistry was obvious and within minutes I could sense the word 'brava' rising within me. I have found that for some of the great sopranos of the past, I do not like the sound of their voices, most prominently Maria Callas, perhaps somewhat due to the poor quality of the recordings of that era and/or not having heard them live. This was not a problem with Ms. Sills' voice; I like her voice, a lot. Beverly Sills as a diva was the real deal.
An aspect of her story that I really enjoyed was her development as an artist and a professional. Early on, she sought approval and fame. As she achieved that success, she realized that at that point she wanted to sing for herself. It was the outlet she needed to do what she wanted to do. And at that point she took control. This happens with successful people in all walks of life. By the end of the book, it is clear that Ms. Sills bowed to no one in her professional world. One wonders if there is any such woman in opera today. I found the obituary in the Washington Post by Tim Page to be revelatory. In her self-portrait, Ms. Sills expresses some definite opinions on opera and how it should be performed. However, Mr. Page noted that in 1987 she published a second book, "Beverly", which "was much less guarded and contained a number of surprisingly personal attacks on critics, opera-house directors and fellow singers." Mr. Page quotes her as saying, "I've come to the stage in life where I'm not afraid to use my influence." He credits her with the controversial decision to first use English supertitles at the New York City Opera in 1983, which other companies eventually followed and now are used everywhere. In 2002 she became the chairwoman of the Metropolitan Opera. There was a new sheriff in town and her name was "Bubbles".

This Element considers Kant's account of the sublime in the context of his predecessors both in the Anglophone and German rationalist traditions. Since Kant says with evident endorsement that 'we call sublime that which is absolutely great' (Critique of the Power of Judgment, 5:248) and nothing in nature can in fact be absolutely great (it can only figure as such, in certain presentations), Kant concludes that strictly speaking what is sublime can only be the human calling (Bestimmung) to perfect our rational capacity according to the standard of virtue that is thought through the moral law. The Element takes account of the difference between respect and admiration as the two main varieties of sublime feeling, and concludes by considering the role of Stoicism in Kant's account of the sublime, particularly through the channel of Seneca.

TECH SUPPLIER Jun 2019 - Market Perspective - Doc # US45117819
IoT: IT Is Supporting the IoT — Predictive Support for Critical Systems and Devices That Create Better Business Decisions and Outcomes
By: Rob BrothersProgram Vice President, Software and Hardware Support and Deployment Services
This IDC Market Perspective shows how enterprises can use existing IT infrastructure and a multitude of vendor resources to develop IoT support and deployment strategies. Predictive analytics will play a major role in supporting business-critical operations, and these abilities will find their way into supporting the critical workloads that enable business operations. These solutions are not just IT in nature but also IoT. Enterprises and support providers will need to learn how to use IT to support these new IoT initiatives that can and will be mission critical.
"Most of the new IoT solutions are not at scale but have the potential to grow rapidly," says Rob Brothers, vice president, Datacenter and Support Solutions. "Most large support providers look at these solutions and think they are too small for them to take on, but if support organizations are going to expand and stay viable, the growth is going to be in the IoT, not in IT."

Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks' Crispy Chicken
LB and I went to watch Borat at Cathay two weekends ago. As I'd woken up late and didn't have time for lunch, I was hungry. We grabbed some snacks in the basement.
Having heard my colleague, MW, rave so much about Shihlin's XXL Crispy Chicken. I decided to give it a try. It was fried to order and seasoned with salt, chili powder, pepper and five spice powder. The skin was very crispy and was covered in the seasoning. It was just a tad too salty for me so I reckon it would have tasted better with something else such as rice or noodles. I began to wish that I had ordered the Chicken Floss Egg Crepe instead.

Today I'd like to share with you my recipe for No Bake Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Granola Bars. These bars are chewy, salty and sweet, and most of all – easy!
I get it, it's summer. You don't want to turn on the oven if at all possible! I'm right there with you. This is one of my favorite recipes for when I need a quick snack. One batch lasts all week and only takes 10 minutes to make. Plus, no oven needed.
Thinking of all of the kids and teachers heading back to school, these bars are wonderful time savers. They make a quick breakfast, or double as an afternoon pick-me-up snack.
You can portion these out into baggies (I love my reusable baggies for snacks like these) so they are easy to grab and go!
You will love these granola bars because they are easy and require only a few simple ingredients. Plus, peanut butter and chocolate are the best combination ever.
These bars are easily customized if you'd like to use a different nut butter or mix ins. You can even make them healthier by adding flax seeds, chia seeds, or maybe protein powder. What combination do you want to try?
Looking for more snacks? Try my White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Granola Bars or Lemon Chia Seed Mini Muffins. Both make a great after school snack.
No Bake Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Granola Bars
- 3 cups quick cook oats
- 1/4 cup peanuts chopped
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- Line a square 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside. (or use an 8x8 pan for a thicker bar.)
- Place 1 cup of quick cook oats into a food processor and pulse into a finely ground powder. In a large bowl, combine processed oats with remaining quick cook oats and chopped peanuts.
- In a saucepan over low heat, combine peanut butter, honey, and salt. Stir until ingredients are combined and just melted. Remove from heat, add vanilla extract and stir to combine.
- Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and stir until fully incorporated. Add chocolate chips at the end and stir to combine. Press mixture into your parchment lined pan, pressing down firmly into a flat layer.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set. Pull parchment paper to lift bars out of pan. Cut into squares or bars and store in a sealed container.

This family was so excited for their photos, Mom especially! They were even willing to change the session location the day before, just because I finally got the 'OK' to use the area. As soon as I saw the cabin, I knew it was a perfect location, and the little ones loved it too! They kept running back to the door, but it made for some beautiful photos. It was a very chilly morning, but I had a great time with this family.

Lions free agency: Week 1 recap
The first week of the NFL's free agency is coming to an end.
Here's an update of what the Detroit Lions did, didn't do and what they still need to do:
The Lions made Tate their top priority and for the second straight year filled a major void on their offense within 24 hours of free agency beginning.
They finished the deal quickly, before Tate even left town, just like they did a year ago with running back Reggie Bush.
Tate looks like an ideal fit to complement Calvin Johnson. Tate has good hands, can play inside or outside and breaks tackles to create big plays.
Lions' Bush feels earth move under his feet
Give general manager Martin Mayhew and company a definite "A" for this move.
Ihedigbo, 30, wasn't one of the top safeties on the market. The price for Buffalo's Jairus Byrd and Cleveland's T.J. Ward apparently got too high for the Lions.
With Tate and Ihedigbo, Detroit is adding two players who have played on Super Bowl champions. You can't put too much value on that for a team that is trying to learn how to win.
Ihedigbo's connections with the coaching staff make him more attractive to the Lions than possibly other teams. Defensive coordinator Teryl Austin was Ihedigbo's position coach last season in Baltimore while Lions coach Jim Caldwell was the Ravens' offensive coordinator.
The Lions will be getting an intelligent, experienced player who can be somewhat of an extension of Austin on the field. Ihedigbo (6-foot-1, 214 pounds) is strong against the run and average in coverage.
Give this one a "C," assuming it indeed goes through as anticipated.
Pettigrew had other options because he was one of the top tight ends on the free-agent market.
Contrary to public opinion, it's a good move to bring him back because of his blocking ability. The Lions wouldn't have found a better replacement who can both block and is a potential threat in the pass game.
They'll just have to live with a drop here and there.
They didn't have to with the way Ezekiel "Ziggy" Ansah and Devin Taylor produced as rookies, and with the expected return of Jason Jones, a free-agent addition last year, from a season-ending knee injury.
Young, who started 15 games in 2013, ended up with division rival Chicago.
The new coaching staff is looking to add a true fullback to the roster and the team also needs a backup center who can be groomed to be Dominic Raiola's replacement in a year or so.
But after taking visits to the Linos' headquarters last week, Hynoski re-signed with the New York Giants and Costa took an offer from Indianapolis.
Hill is scheduled to visit Monday with the St. Louis Rams, who need a backup for Sam Bradford.
Hill's chances of playing are greater in St. Louis because the Rams are much more likely to bench Bradford if he struggles than the Lions are with Matthew Stafford.
The Lions don't want to overpay him, but Hill is unquestionably the best fit here because of his experience and the ability he's shown to come off the bench and respond under pressure.
The team's other top unsigned free agent is cornerback Rashean Mathis, who would be a logical player to re-sign at a low price if he doesn't find a good offer elsewhere.

Debra has helped us buy a couple of houses. One of the houses we bought in 2012 and we also started looking for another house in 2012 and bought it mid year of 2015. During the 3 years of looking Debra responded quickly with a positive attitude to any house we were interested in and would also send us information about houses she thought we might be interested in. We felt she was committed to us as a client. She was always very knowledgable about what we needed to know regarding the houses and we looked to her for direction. She was always very professional and gave us excellent service. We appreciated her and look forward to working with her in the future.

"Grow and Cook: It's the secret to a happy life for you and everyone around you"
Grow and Cook - this was Darina's advice when I met her for the 1:1 chat on Wednesday evening. She had tonnes of advice and recommendations on restaurants to work at in Dublin and London, the business of catering, and shared lots of contacts to get started. Very inspiring and insightful - "very few of the world's ills can't be solved by being able to cook a healthy meal".
Lemon Curd Sponge last Thursday. Didn't win the Ballymaloe Bake-Off but was pretty pleased with it
Green Beans, Goats Cheese and Pine Nut Salad, also from last Thursday

Martin and Noreen Conroy, from Woodside Farm at the Monday demo. It's the largest free range pig herd in Ireland. Their pigs are born and live on the field, and only see concrete when they're on the way to the market. They're fed wheat and barley, not commercial pig feed, live to 8 months old (and run like athletes apparently!). They only supply pork to local farmer's markets, and warned against the veracity of apparently free-range pork in the supermarkets. We cooked their rashers and sausages in the Irish breakfast on Monday morning, delicious.
Wednesday's demo was on Afternoon Tea which included cupcakes, macaroons, cakes, sandwiches, tea etc..
Picnic Chest of sandwiches, think this is my favourite thing I've seen so far!

Old forum > Fetcheveryone.com
I notice that as a club you aren't huge users of this site, true there are some naff bits like the obsession with Pose running in the forums and the blogging by people who have to tell the world that they have just changed their socks but the pure running bit is actually excellent and has a million features. I won't "out" Croups members who are on there but Tim's profile always make me laugh.
Here are a couple of examples of people on there who I will "out"
A proper runner's info (Click Me) a man of few words.
A plodding amateur's info (Click Me)
To get the full effect you need to register which is free and painless.
He is claiming the downhill half marathon as his PB!! SHOCKING!!!!!!!!
Yes on UK Athleticsdata/Power of 10 it is classed as "HMDH" :-) Still 13.1 miles though and downhill running is almost the entire skill of fell running . . .
No way would I claim that as my pb. It's easy, the gravity does the work. Great fun!! Mind you the last 3 miles are pretty hard
The site doesn't really work like that, every race has a definition page, like the Gwent League tomorrow (which you will need to register to see)
Gwent League Bridgend (Click Me)
and you put your time in, the site works out season's best, PB etc, there is a way you can tell the race setup that it is not a PB race but many people would be upset with that so a road half marathon will always be a PB contender regardless of difficulty.
Downhill running is ALMOST the entire skill of fell running Dominic. The rest is esoteric kit selection from a vast array of washed out and fairly whiffy kit, coupled with the ability to grind uphill while maintaining a 1000 yard stare (as used by SAS men on manouevers). Sadly I've mastered the former and not the latter.
Love the first profile. Give nothing away I reckon.
Nice to see such a tremendous turn out today.
as this is a new sight it might take a while for people to put this sight on there "favorites". people may be looking and not commenting. they may say something controvesial (or worried about there spelling) they might start ranting and raving about things nobodies really intrested, thats got nothing to do with running.then there's time to go through all this. i so far just go to the forum which takes a few hours to go through.then we have to go to the "links"you put up. spend another couple hours reading there sights. befiore long you havn't got time to go out for a run.
p.s. I've discovered i've got to carry a board on a pole as a pacer in the cardiff half. the last time i had a go at this i carried a welsh flag at new york marathon i got just over a mile then chucked it. there that m6y rant
