Maddon the latest to experiment with where to bat pitchers
Cubs skipper carrying on La Russa's tradition of hitting hurlers outside No. 9 hole
DENVER -- With Tony La Russa working in the front office in Arizona, enter Joe Maddon to carry the torch among big league managers in pushing the concept of hitting pitchers somewhere other than the traditional No. 9 slot in the batting order.
Maddon made the move from the Rays in the American League to the Cubs in the National League during the offseason, which gives him more opportunities to fiddle with pitchers and lineups.
In each of the Cubs' first four games this season, Maddon hit the pitcher eighth -- including on Friday, when Rockies manager Walt Weiss also hit his pitcher eighth. It marked what is believed to be the 12th time in history that both teams hit a starting pitcher somewhere other than ninth, according to blogger J.G. Preston.
The other 11 times all came in 2008 -- and all involved the Cardinals, who were managed by La Russa.
La Russa and Pirates manager John Russell both hit pitchers eighth on July 11-13, 2008, and La Russa and then-Brewers skipper Ned Yost used the approach in eight games earlier that season -- April 15-16, April 21-22 and May 9-12.
A year ago, Maddon hit the pitcher eighth in six Interleague games. He made the lineup adjustment for the first time in his career on Aug. 11, 2013, with Jeremy Hellickson. It wasn't the first time Maddon had a pitcher bat somewhere other than ninth, however. He turned in a lineup with two third basemen (Evan Longoria and Ben Zobrist) on May 17, 2009, which resulted in pitcher Andy Sonnanstine hitting in the No. 3 slot and Longoria being removed from the game.
La Russa is the all-time leader, having hit a pitcher somewhere other than ninth in 432 games. Lou Boudreau is a distant second at 74, according to Preston's research.
Night into day
The Red Sox pulled out a 6-5, 19-inning victory against the Yankees on Friday night/Saturday morning. The Yanks came up with a run to tie the game in the ninth, 16th and 18th innings, in a contest that lasted six hours, 49 minutes. It's the ninth-longest game in Major League History in terms of elapsed time.

The longest game in terms of elapsed time was the White Sox 7-6, 25-inning game against the Brewers that began on May 8, 1984, which lasted eight hours, six minutes. After being stopped by a 1 a.m. curfew with the score tied 3-3 in the 18th, it was finished up on May 9 before a regularly-scheduled game. Both teams scored three runs in the 21st, and then Harold Baines homered with one out in the 25th to end the game.
Tom Seaver worked the 25th for the victory, then pitched 8 1/3 innings for a 5-4 victory in the originally scheduled May 9 game.
The second-longest game in terms of time was the Giants' 8-6, 23-inning victory against the Mets at Shea Stadium on May 31, 1964, which took seven hours, 23 minutes. It was the second game of a doubleheader. Gaylord Perry pitched 10 scoreless innings of relief in that game, earning the victory. Historians say it was the game in which Perry broke out his spitball, although the Hall of Fame pitcher explains, "It was a sinker."
The longest game in terms of innings was a 1-1, 26-inning game between the Boston Braves and Brooklyn Robins on May 1, 1920. The game was declared a tie and stopped at 6:50 p.m. because of darkness. The elapsed time was three hours, 50 minutes.
Hitless in Chicago
Cubs left-hander Jon Lester, playing for an NL team after nine years in the AL, struck out in his only at-bat in his Cubs debut on Sunday. He is hitless in 37 career at-bats, tied with Tony McKnight and Bo McLaughlin for the second-most career at-bats by a pitcher without a hit. Randy Tate holds the record, going 0-for-41 with 22 strikeouts.
The most strikeouts for a pitcher who was hitless in his career is 24 by Daniel Cabrera, who was 0-for-26. Lester is tied for second, having struck out 23 times in 37 at-bats. Daryl Patterson also struck out 23 times in 35 at-bats.
Bob Buhl, who hit .089 in his career, struck out 389 times in 857 career at-bats. He set the single-season record for pitchers when he went 0-for-70 in 1962, logging 69 of those at-bats for the Cubs. Bill Wight ranks second with 61 hitless at-bats for the White Sox in 1950.
Saving grace
Buddy Carlyle picked up the save in the Mets' season-opening 3-1 victory against the Nationals. Carlyle, who made his big league debut in 1999, became the fourth pitcher in history to earn his first save more than 15 years after his big league debut.

Livan Hernandez earned his only career save during his 17th and final season in 2012. Frank Tanana was in his 18th big league campaign when he earned his only career save for the Tigers by getting the final out in a 6-5, 14-inning victory at Yankee Stadium on Aug. 2, 1990. Jamey Wright pitched the 10th on July 5, 2011, in Oakland to earn the first of his two career saves in the Mariners' 4-2 victory during his 16th season in the Majors.
Quick hits
• Lefty David Price became the second pitcher in Tigers history to allow no runs, walks or extra-base hits in an Opening Day start. Schoolboy Rowe also did it in 1936.

• Giants catcher Buster Posey is the first player to have won Rookie of the Year and MVP Awards and play with three World Series champions prior to turning 28.
• Mariners right-hander Felix Hernandez turned 29 on Wednesday, but not before he struck out 10 Angels on Opening Day. That gave him 1,961 strikeouts, fourth most for a pitcher before turning 29. Sam McDowell (2,156), Walter Johnson (2,117) and Bert Blyleven (2,082) are the only players ahead of Hernandez.

August 27, 2017
From checking the weather to booking a personal training session at the gym, the phone in our pockets is increasingly becoming central to how we live our lives. In fact, a recent study shows that the average time each of us now spends on our mobile phones is a staggering 4 hour 5 minutes per day.
It may come as quite a surprise that today using a mobile phone for its seemingly primary purpose – to make calls – is the least common use in a recent poll of 2,000 smartphone users by Mobiles. In that survey, over a quarter of respondents (27%) said they hardly use their phone to make calls for a week or more. However, seven in ten participants (70%) check their emails every day with their smartphones, 58% of them read the news with their phones, and over half (56%) shop online with their mobile phones.
Nowhere is this cultural shift of utilising our iPhones and Galaxys happening faster than using them to replace the traditional physical wallet. We've long been used to checking our bank balance on our phones. Now, we are increasingly using them to pay for goods, too. It's no longer just the Queen of England that isn't carrying cash. Research has shown that the public is on the cusp of joining her in a cashless society, with one recent report suggesting that a third (34%) of Europeans would go cashless if they could do so now.
The trend towards a cashless society arguably started back in the heady days of the late 1990s, when electronic banking first became popular. Decades later, digital payment methods have become more widespread with reputable payment systems such as PayPal, contactless and NFC payments accelerating the trend to move away from notes and coins to 1s and 0s.
Out of all of these new technologies, contactless payments have arguably gathered more pace than other payment systems with about 3 billion contactless transactions being made using Visa cards across the globe in the last 12 months alone. This figure is nearly triple the number of transactions made in the same period, in the previous year.
People have been using various forms of physical money for thousands of years, with paper money dating back to the seventh century in China. However, banknotes did not become widely used in the UK until almost a thousand years later.
Today in the UK, we have come to an era where cash has become actively discouraged in many kinds of transactions which used to be the traditional means of payments (from our morning velvety flat white coffee to paying for our bus fare home). The bastion of the printed note, the Bank of England, even admits that over the next few years, consumers are likely to use cash for a smaller proportion of the payments they make.
The complete replacement of our physical wallet with mobile phones has experienced a couple of hurdles in the past. Again, it comes back to convenience. The fact is that it is often too cumbersome entering payment details on a 4.7-inch-screen phone without a keyboard. We have all felt the frustrations of having to input our credit card number, expiry date, CCV2 and billing address, not to mention the 3D secure password we usually enter before completing a transaction. This hassle has historically led to a high percentage of shopping cart abandonment and lost revenues.
But the good news is that today there is an easier way that taps into the convenience demanded by consumers without data breaches or security breaches. By allowing consumers to choose a mobile payment option, all they need to do is simply enter their mobile number and a secure PIN which was sent to them via SMS. With this innovation, they can circumvent the need for entering tedious credit card details, billing information and extra card security passwords. Moreover, as this technology is directly linked to their mobile phone carrier, it means that costs are charged to their mobile phone bill, not their bank account.
Our increasingly busy lives are leading to a culture of convenience, particularly the ease at which we shop. Today, online shopping offers modern consumers the convenience and speed to shop anytime and anywhere. This new type of shopping has been made so easy with our phones. Mobile devices now make the locations of users irrelevant in their buying decisions, thus helping them to purchase any item they want to buy online without breaking a sweat. We've become a nation of savvy online shoppers, and today retailers must work ever harder to retain customer loyalty in a highly competitive environment.
The ease of mobile payments could be the key. It is already answering consumer's hunger for convenience to such an extent that it is predicted that by 2025, two-thirds (65%) of all financial transactions will be carried out on our mobile phones. With the right technology, mobile network operators and retailers can work together to ensure that customers can order items quickly on the go. This will not only boost sales and revenues, but it will also save time and reduce business costs.

Once upon a time, HTC was a big contender in the smartphone market. Popular for making high end, quality devices, HTC started out strong. Unfortunately for them, in the last quarterly reports, HTC posted a loss of $101 million. Fans of the company, as well as analysts, and even employees immediately started speculating on what the cause of the loss could be. Everyone just trying to find a way to give this story a happy ending. Now, one of those speculated reasons is getting some attention from HTC itself, as they review global public relations firms.
HTC has started to make big changes from within the company, as big as CEO Peter Chou, stepping back from the title. Well, the plan has been for Chou to back away from the title to give more responsibility to his partner and co-founder Cher Wang. Peter has not planned to leave the company, but rather just move into production and still have some CEO responsibilities. These changes aren't the only things HTC is trying to do to turn things back around, they also enlisted some super star power.
The PR department of HTC is definitely one of the most exciting departments to work for, and not in a good way. Head of public relations Lorain Wang recently resigned from her position, stating that it was due to family situations. So after Lorain resigned and became nothing more than a consultant, in steps Ben Ho to add public relations to his laundry list of duties. Ho started out strong signing US actor, Robert Downey Jr. for a multimillion dollar advertising campaign. All of this change within the company and a little into advertising, is most likely pretty exciting for employees of the company, as well as everyone watching from the outside.
HTC has many eyes on them, well when people aren't watching Samsung and Apple commercials on television, or listening to them on the radio, or even banner ads all over the web. Which is most likely what HTC aims to tackle, but they are looking at a global PR company to assist in this rebuild. The competition in advertising is very aggressive, and HTC's VP of marketing in the USA Erin McGee, warned us all that they will be putting a lot more money into this aspect of the company, lets just hope they didn't blow it all on Robert Downey Jr. As we wait to find out if HTC will regain their footing, we still have the HTC One to rave about, we just don't want that to be their last big best selling flagship device.

The Department of English traces its history to the very beginnings of our institution itself and has been a part of the family of Government Arts College for Women, Salem-8, since 1979. As one of the oldest departments, it is also one of the well-established departments. As a language department, it enjoys the distinction of touching the academic life of every student and staff member of the college. No student enters or leaves our college without being in touch with the English department in more ways than one. The faculty members of the English department handle the Part Two English classes for the entire college. B.A. English literature, and M.A. English Literature (from 2013) are two of the most sought after courses in our college. Be it Part Two English or major English literature, the faculty members lavish all care and attention on the students to enable them to develop their competence, fluency and subject base in the English language.
Apart from the regular classes which are a part of the curriculum, the English department keeps itself and the students busy with various other activities and research projects. The Department of English continues to endeavour to provide the much needed language competencies to the first generation rural women learners from the socially and economically backward areas and get them English-ready for the industry / academia.
Learner Centered Teaching is an approach to teaching that is increasingly being encouraged in higher education Learner Centered teachers do not employ a single teaching method. This approach emphasizes a variety of different types of methods that shifts the role of the instructors from givers of information in facilitating student learning .Traditionally instructors focused on what they did and not on what instructors do often leads to students who are passive learners and who did not take responsibility for their own learning. Educators call this traditional method as 'instructor-centered teaching'. In contrast, Learner-Centered teaching occurs when instructors focus on student learning. In view of this, the department of English organised National Level Workshop on Learner Centered teaching methods in English for the staff on 21.08.14 and 22.08.14 in the college premises. Prof. Bhaskaran Nair former Professor of Pondicherry University was the resource person. More than 200 academics and research scholars participated from various colleges, and universities. He spoke on the significance and dire need for adapting the Learner-Centered Teaching methods in the educational institutions in the present scenario. The two days sessions were very beneficial.

Useful Public Speaking Exercises to Attain Mastery in the Game
Mukta Gaikwad
Mar 17, 2019
Public speaking is an art feared by most, but this feared art is not unconquerable. Master the skill of public speaking by practicing the following few exercises.
The art of holding on to people's attention through speech is called public speaking. For many, this art remains a fear, attributable to the lack of confidence. Oratory silks need to be finely honed, to capture the audience. Needless to say, 'practice makes a man perfect'.
Practicing the matter you are presenting, the language and the style in which you will be presenting it, will go a long way in making you a good public speaker. The other important thing to be considered while conducting a public speech is the demographics. In order to appeal to the crowd, the speaker must know to whom he is addressing.
Mind over Matter
It is the matter which matters! Put your mind to the matter and it will keep you in line with the relevance of the subject. Irrelevant talking makes the audience lose interest. A catch in relevant talking lies in how much significance you give to the subject.
It is suggested that matter content in the public speech should be 7% and first point should be made in the first few minutes itself. A surprising statistic, we don't like it when someone gets preachy. Another reason for less importance is, getting into the details of anything really gets boring and inscrutable sometimes. Keep the audience hooked.
Mind Your Language
Language usage is the basis form of communication. Poorly developed language skills become the biggest hindrance for the speaker. Working on accents, pronunciations, stress of specific words, diction, intonation and pace are the keys that all great public speakers have.
It is also essential for the speaker to have a control over the voice and the language. Incorrect use of phrases and bad vocabulary will only render in frivolous entertainment for the audience, at the expense of the speaker.
The language also has another connotation, that of body language. The gestures, histrionics, eye contact and postures speak volumes on the speaker in question.
Style Quotient
It is not necessary that the speaker should be dressed in the best of brands. What matters is his detailed attention to the soft skills. Soft skills refer to a cluster of personality traits, like the ability to communicate, social graces, personal habits and friendliness. These bring out the best in the speaker and leave behind an effective impression.
Knock Their Socks off
Exercising the aforementioned skills is a mandatory thing for all public speakers. For better public speaking, tape your rehearsal performance. This way you will know the changes that are needed to make the speech more effective. If possible see the recorded tapes of the speeches that great leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Nehru, and Hitler have made.
Ask a friend or colleague to hear you out and to evaluate the performance. There may be a few tongue twisters in the drafted speech. Getting them right won't be a problem, if you recite them a couple of times.
With religious commitment to these exercises, you will be able to rule the roost at any event. 'Interactivity' is better than a 'monologue'. So involve the audience by asking them to answer questions or making them sing along or even listening to their queries.
A personal element to the speech always makes the public and the speaker connect. Begin with the humorous anecdote, so as to lighten up the mood. The better art of public speaking comes, when the speaker knows that he is speaking for the public and not for himself.

Tom took the British force, comprised of 108 points; his son Jeff took the French with 104 points worth of troops. The objective was a marooned British wagon in the middle of a small Spanish town. Whether it contained the payroll or a cache of gin was not clear; either way it was of great value to both sides.
This was the first foray for both Jeff and Tom into Sharp Practice. They picked up the mechanics pretty quickly and off we went. Both sides sent skirmishers around the town while the regular infantry marched as quickly as possible along the road into the town. The French lights quickly gained an advantage over the two groups of British riflemen and drove them back on their starting point.
In the town, the British arrived a little ahead of their French counterparts. The Frogs got a bit bottled up at their entry point, but soon used their command cards to get a couple of double moves that propelled them into the village. Volley followed volley and men began to drop at an alarming rate. Several officers were knock out, making command quite difficult. The British were successful in securing the stranded wagon, but ended up losing the game to their moral dropping to zero on the very last turn.
It was an enjoyable afternoon, and I am so grateful to Tom and Jeff for the time we spent together.
|Action from inside the town. This is the second wave of French regulars entering the fray. The first formation had been forced to withdraw having lost over half their men.
|This shot is taken from behind the British lines.
|This group of KGL grenadiers is rushing back to defend the British entry point.
|Sharp's two groups of riflemen have been thrashed.
|These are the French skirmishers that did the thrashing. Note that they haven't lost a single man.
|This is what remained of the first French formation that entered the town. They left over half of their number dead in the village square.
|These three groups of French light infantry were able to scale the low wall and blast a group of British infantry out of the house to upper center of the picture.
|This is the British group that was forced to withdraw from the house. Note they have suffered 9 shock and only have five figures left.
|Game over!

The fracas between supporters of the All Progressive Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party at Okpella, Estako East local government entered its second day with more victims hospitalised.
About seven persons have been reportedly injured in the clash while several vehicles were destroyed.
Three of the victims were hospitalised for gunshot injuries.
A former Council Chairman of Estako East, Godwin Isichei, said the trouble started when his country home was shot at by some suspected APC supporters at about 1:00 a.m. yesterday.
Isichei said he was in Benin when he heard about the attacks on his house.
He said police was at his resident to see the gate that was shot at.
The former council boss said a solidarity march by 2, 000 youths in the community turned bloody as the youths were attacked by some APC supporters.
Chairman of PDP in the locality, Abu Abdulganiyu, said on the telephone that the APC youths blocked the road twice to harass PDP members.
He said his younger brother and four other PDP supporters were injured in the clash.
Governorship candidate of the APC, Godwin Obaseki said some of his supporters were injured after being shot at by hired thugs allegedly recruited by the PDP.
He noted the shooting started late Thursday night and that those injured have been taken to hospital for medical attention. He said: "The evidence is now coming up about what we were talking about that hoodlums have been brought into the state. In Okpella last night there were gunshots all throughout the night because people who had been mobilised had arrived town not realising that the election was postponed.
"You could blame whoever but the evidences are now coming out.
"If it is happening in Edo North, you could imagine what will happen in areas like Ovia that we know a lot of people were brought in from outside to come and register to vote or places like Ologbo or Ilushi.
"It is unfortunate that the security agencies didn't act on time. We have the belief that there is no election that is worth the pint of blood of any Nigerian citizen because you can't be killing the people you want to govern.
"So for them and me (The EU and British Council), we are on the same page that whatever is required to have a peaceful election is what we ensure and insist on," he stated.
A top chieftain of the APC who pleaded anonymity said the PDP supporters have been provoking APC in the locality through unwarranted attacks.
He said several PDP supporters have been arrested in the past for attacking APC supporters.

The reviews are in on Gerard Butler's latest action movie, Den of Thieves, and they aren't pretty. In fairness, this caper flick isn't nearly as awful as Butler's last big screen outing, Geostorm, which currently stands as the least fun disaster movie ever made. Despite its punishingly long 140 minute runtime, Den of Thieves sports a handful of moments that will satisfy B movie action fans with low standards. But for the most part, it's just a subpar caper flick with an embarrassingly lame twist ending.
Den of Thieves is written and directed by Christian Gudegast, who previously served as the screenwriter behind other lame duck thrillers like London Has Fallen and A Man Apart. Gudegast has assembled an interesting supporting cast for his directorial debut, surrounding Butler with promising up and coming talents like Pablo Schreiber and O'Shea Jackson while tossing in Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson for reasons we can only assume to be related to the box office boost his fanbase presumably provides.
Related: Gerard Butler & 50 Cent Interview - Den of Thieves
While it's certainly not the worst action movie that the elephant graveyard on Hollywood's release schedule (more commonly known as January) has ever produced, it falls well short of the films its director is so clearly drawing from. As a number of reviews have pointed out, Michael Mann's 1995 crime epic Heat ranks among the film's most obvious influences. Gudegast is definitely a fan of that one, though his first crack at recreating similar onscreen drama appears to have veered wildly off-course. Read on to see the Most Brutal Reviews Of Den Of Thieves.
Den of Thieves is such a dumb misunderstanding of the genres in which it plays, such a loud, interminable shart of unmitigated machismo, such a heavy-handed rip-off of Heat and The Usual Suspects and even Ocean's Eleven (and maybe even The Fast and the Furious, but for scumbags) that it feels anachronistic on arrival, the kind of melodramatic, pulpy studio action flick that doesn't get made anymore because it shouldn't. -- Paste Magazine
Did the world need a hyper-violent, gender-swapped version of Mad Money? Do we need another Heat told by people who have no fundamental understanding of what makes that film so great? No, but here we are ... Desperately wanting to be Heat for a new testosterone-fueled, aggro-male generation, it utterly fails to do anything remotely exciting, electric, or entertaining with the mimeograph. Every scene feels like a dick measuring contest. Every belabored act feels like an exercise in torture. -- Fresh Fiction
It's this sort of baroque plotting that undermines the film and stretches it out to a numbing 140 minutes. The attempts to add psychological depth to the main characters prove ludicrous, whether it's Nick's [Gerard Butler] cliched marital problems or Enson [Curtis Jackson] using the gang to terrify the prom date of his teenage daughter. To the film's credit, the inevitable scene set in a strip club doesn't take place until well past the one-hour mark. -- THR
Den of Thieves is dumb. But the problem is that the film doesn't know how dumb it is ... There are times when you watch a film and maybe it doesn't connect with you right away. That's fine, more than once I've walked out a film with middling thoughts, only to mull over as time passes and appreciate what I saw as larger than the sum of the parts I was considering the moment. On the other hand, there are films that may have seemed just so-so in the moment, but as time passes you grow to loathe them due to the multitude of missed opportunities, poor handling of sensitive, or even not so sensitive material, and, most frequently, their sheer laziness. Den of Thieves is the latter. Avoid. -- ScreenAnarchy
Den of Thieves is a very particular type of heist movie. While most examples of the genre are content to merely show you a theft, this one wants to actually perpetrate one. Enter the cinema and it will soak you of two hours and 20 minutes of your time, delivered in small, unremarkable scenes. And no insurance policy in the world will ever reimburse you ... By the time the shoot-'em-up climax arrived, I no longer cared if Merriman's team succeeded. I didn't care if Butler caught them. I didn't even care about his divorce. Instead, I was rooting for the audience, but it was too late; they'd already been had. -- National Post
A needlessly labyrinthine scheme is almost the least of the problems Den of Thieves has. Its biggest setback is its star, who comes across as a complete asshole from start to finish ... Den of Thieves feels like it's trying to bully you into submission when it's not boring you. -- Den of Geek
A film that seems completely devoid of any point or true effort. It's a movie with famous people in it, but it's unclear why it exists at all. It makes no point and does nothing special. If a movie was ever to define January movies this would probably be it ... you end up not being sure who you're supposed to care about. That could have been the point all along, but when you're wishing that the movie would end with everyone in it dying I don't think it did its job. -- Flixist
Clocking in at two hours and 20 minutes, it seems intended to have been a crime epic in the vein of Michael Mann's Heat, about two men of talent and spirit who happen to be on opposite sides of the law. And it's sort of like that, if you can imagine a Michael Mann picture that has been set on fire and dropped from an airplane. First-time director Christian Gudegast also wrote the film, and you can tell, in the sense that there was clearly no one there to look at the script and say, "Come on." -- San Francisco Chronicle
The real culprit here is the horrible script, and the horrible indulgence of it all. This is a vanity project through and through - and something that would have been better off left unmade. -- JoBlo

Game of Thrones and Band of Gold actors announced for The String Quartet's Guide to Sex and Anxiety
One of Europe's most sought after directors Calixto Bieito will bring his incredible new production to Brighton Festival. The festival is now the largest and most established annual curated multi-arts festival in England. They introduced Guest Directors in 2009 with Anish Kapoor and for this years festival they have invited much-love Brighton artist David Shrigley to take the post. 'The String Quartet's Guide to Sex and Anxiety' is among some very good company for this years festival but is not one to miss.
Calixto Bieito is known for his radical reinterpretations of classic operas and plays. For this particular piece he drew inspiration from 'The Burnout Society' by the Korean-German philosopher Byung-Chul Han and 'The Anatomy of Melancholy', a 1621 essay written by Robert Burton who was one of the first to write about psychological disorders as a symptom and reflection of modern times. Bieito said his work is "like a symphonic poem for a quartet of musicians, and a quartet of voices. It will consider the human condition today, and where anxiety and depression come from".
Calixto Bieito will direct an extremely talented quartet of actors, Cathy Tyson, Mairead McKinley, Miltos Yerolemou and Nick Harris with their experiences ranging from screen to stage to television.. Miltos Yerolemou's credits span far and wide, including 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens', Syrio Forel in 'Game of Thrones' as well as stage productions of 'King Lear', 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' and 'Great Expectations'. Cathy Tyson is a BAFTA and Golden Globe-nominated actress, best known for her role in multi-award winning film 'Mona Lisa' and recent ITV series 'Band of Gold'. She has also taken the lead role in many Shakespeare plays. Finally in the very experienced cast is Mairead McKinley. She's a stage actress first-and-foremost and has been seen all over the country in plays such as, 'The Hour We Knew Nothing Of Each Other', 'Filthy Business' and the National Theatre's 'Cyrano De Bergerac'. Most recently she appeared in critically-acclaimed Hitchcock adaption 'North By Northwest'.
Accompanying the actors will be the Heath Quartet. They have won a multitude of awards over the 16 years they have been together, most notably they were the first ensemble in fifteen years to win the prestigious 'Royal Philharmonic Society's Young Artists Award'. The music performed will include Beethoven's String Quartet No. 15 in A Minor, Op. 132 and Ligetti's String Quartet No.2. Bieito said of his work "The show will be about how the current times are affecting the quality of our lives as well as our fears, and I hope it will be both entertaining and enlightening."
Calixto Bieito's work will shown at Theatre Royal over Brighton Festival. Contact the Brighton Festival box office for more information.

Grief and Loss - Pets Critical Incident Stress Management
Grief and Loss - Pets
Grief and loss of a beloved pet can be as traumatic as that of a human loved one, whether the pet had to be euthanized or died of natural causes. However, society tends to pour scorn on the fact that someone would publicly display their grief. In turn, the pet owner would try to hide the fact that they are grieving and that causes even more stress, which in turn delays the healing process.
Pets often become a part of the family and play a crucial role in the lives of their caretakers. They tend to soothe the emotional and physical healing processes of humans like nothing else can. Therapists understand that, and that's why they now make counselling services available to pet owners who are experiencing grief and loss.
It is common to feel pain, grief and depression at the death of your friend and confidant. A therapist who offers grief counselling for pet owners going through the loss of a beloved pet will have an empathetic approach to your emotions. He or she will help you discover practical ways in which you can deal with your emotions.
Communication is important, while expression is the key to healing. Whether you decide to opt for individual counselling or group therapy sessions, you will find that you are better able to deal with the loss of your dear pet with the help of therapy. It will help you work through your emotions of anger, loss and depression and in return, you will be able to also help other people who are going through the same experience.
If you are looking for a counsellor or psychologist who offers grief and loss issues therapies or counselling to address the loss of your pet and related issues, you may want to search the directory to find a professional whose approach will suit you best.

Police looking for suspect in riverfront shooting during firework show
Police seek teen with red dreadlocks
Shots rang out along Cincinnati's riverfront during Sunday night's firework show, Cincinnati police said.
Police are investigating the shooting, which happened about 9:30 p.m. near the intersection of Broadway and Mehring Way, near U.S. Bank Arena.
Watch the latest report // Hear WLWT's Megan Mitchell's witness account
The shooting was in a crowded area, happening during the Riverfest fireworks.
Police said that the 17-year-old man who was shot was taken to University of Cincinnati Medical Center. His injuries do not appear to be life-threatening, police said.
Officials said the suspect is a black teen, between 16 and 18 years old. He was last seen wearing a blue shirt and carrying a backpack. Officials said they believe he has red dreadlocks.
A short time later, Cincinnati police responded to a double shooting several block away. Police do not believe the shootings are related.

The Samsung Galaxy Y retails for just $129 through Telstra, making it an Android phone that offers great value for money.
• Telstra now selling Galaxy Y for just $129
• Telstra EasyTouch Discovery 3 review
Samsung Galaxy Y: Design and display
There isn't anything new or remarkable about the Galaxy Y, but it at least manages a reasonably attractive look and feel. We love the etched silver plastic of the rear battery cover, which not only looks good but makes the phone easy to grip, too. The Galaxy Y may be a cheap phone but Samsung deserves credit for its good build quality. It's lightweight without feeling like a cheap toy and it does feel solid despite the largely plastic construction.
A glossy chrome edge attempts to give the Galaxy Y a touch of class while the bezel surrounding the display is gloss black. The phone is surprisingly easy to keep clean: fingerprints on the screen are visible, but less prominent than many other touch screen devices we've reviewed.
We love the physical home button below the Galaxy Y's screen. It's much more responsive than any capacitive button and it wakes the screen when it is locked. The home button is flanked by touch sensitive menu and back buttons, while physical volume controls are on the left side of the handset. A standard 3.5mm headphone jack and a micro-USB port are located on the bottom of the phone.
The biggest issue of the Samsung Galaxy Y is its small 3in screen. It's fine for general use, like swiping through home screens and dialing phone numbers, but its too small and cramped for Web browsing, typing a message and viewing photos. Adding to the small size is a very low resolution of 240x320 which makes text choppy and hard to read.

From a security PoV, that doesn't help much. One can build a malicious

Knifeman disrupts school church service
SHOCKED pupils and teachers were confronted with a knifeman during morning Mass.
The intruder walked in and stood in the aisle in Christ the Saviour Church, Ealing Broadway. He began playing with the knife, clapping and making comments while the service was being held for all the children at Christ Church C of E Junior School based next door.
Headteacher Beverley Joseph ordered the man to leave before teachers locked the door behind him and called police at about 10am yesterday (11).
Suzanne Fernandes, of Northfields, whose son attended the Mass, said: "The man was flipping the penknife open and closed and making inappropriate comments.

This is a really charming walled city in England. I love The Shambles area with tiny alley streets. There's a beautiful Cathedral here.
I have visited York on three occasions including May this year. It is a beautiful city with so much to see and do. There are also many quality places to eat and drink.
Visiting the York Minster is a must. York is friendly and great for families especially with little kids.
Stunning old cobble stoned city of York within 45 min drive of our property is a wonderful city for a day out. Ideal to amble about, enjoy a meal, soak up the history amid this old stone walled city with its cobbled streets.

Naturally Occurring High Levels of Fluoride in Virginia
Virginia's Fluoridated Water Systems
My Water's Fluoride CDC
Virginia Water Fluoridation
In 1952, the Town of Fries and the City of Lynchburg were the first communities to begin water fluoridation in Virginia. Approximately, 6 million Virginians drink water that has fluoride adjusted to the recommended level. This represents 95% of those receiving water from public water systems. This figure represents 81% of the state total population (See below). Fluoridation is viewed as the single most effective public health measure to prevent tooth decay and improve oral health. Recent national studies indicate that water fluoridation will reduce dental decay in permanent teeth by approximately 17 to 40 percent. The average yearly cost of community water fluoridation in the United States is $.51 per person.

Generic Zerit
The patent for brand-name Zerit has expired, and now generic Zerit is available. The generic versions come in five strengths and are made by a few different companies, including Aurobindo Pharma and Hetero Drug Limited.
Generic Zerit: An OverviewZerit® (stavudine) is a prescription medication used in the treatment of HIV and AIDS. Zerit belongs to a class of medications known as nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (also known as NRTIs). Zerit is approved to be used only in combination with other HIV medications.
Zerit was first made by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company. However, the patent protection for this medication has expired, and generic versions are now available.
- Stavudine 15 mg capsules
- Stavudine 20 mg capsules
- Stavudine 30 mg capsules
- Stavudine 40 mg capsules
- Stavudine 1 mg per mL oral solution.
- Aurobindo Pharma
- Hetero Drugs Limited
- Matrix Laboratories Limited.
Is Generic Stavudine as Good as Zerit?All generic medications must undergo certain tests to compare them to brand-name medications. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) then looks at these tests to decide if the generics are equivalent to the brand-name medications and assigns each generic a rating. An "AB" or "AA" rating means that the FDA has determined that a generic medication is equivalent to a brand name-medication. All of the generic stavudine versions currently available have an "AB" or "AA" rating, meaning they should be equivalent to Zerit.
However, generic medications are allowed to have different inactive ingredients than the brand-name medication. This might include fillers or dyes or other ingredients that may cause problems for people with allergies or sensitivities.

On June 9, 2007, 29-year-old Pete Reaves was murdered in his Dothan, Ala., apartment.
George W. Bush was President, the final Harry Potter book had not yet been released, and Hank Aaron was still the home run king.
Soon after Reaves was shot and killed in what some say was a drug deal gone bad, three men were arrested for capital murder. Bernard McCloud accepted a plea deal and received a 99-year prison sentence for the murder. Lorenzo Stacey was found not guilty of all charges all the way back in 2009. One man, though, Kharon Davis, has been languishing in the county jail for over eight years awaiting trial.
For more than 100 months, without ever being found guilty of a crime, Kharon Davis has waited and waited and waited for his Constitutional right to a trial. In fact, the Sixth Amendment guarantees all of us a right to a speedy trial. Under no interpretation is eight years speedy. Six years isn't speedy. Waiting in jail for four years isn't speedy. One local prosecutor in Dothan confessed that few murder cases ever take longer than three years to try there and many take much, much less.
The original judge who was presiding over the case has retired. Witnesses and experts have moved. Evidence has aged.
Do you remember what you were doing on June 9, 2007? Can you tell me anything at all from 2007?
It's absolutely preposterous.
In an interview with the Daily News, Kharon's cousin, Crystal Blanton, stated that Kharon has spent enormous stretches of time across these eight years in solitary confinement and is still holding out hope that the charges will be dropped or that he will be found not guilty in a trial. Many members of the family believe that a longstanding grudge between Kharon's grandfather, a civil rights activist who regularly challenged local prosecutors, and those overseeing Kharon's case is to blame.
Local prosecutors have offered no reasonable explanation for the outrageous delays in this case.
Whether it's a personal grudge, racism, egregious incompetence, or a mix of all three, the reality that Kharon Davis has spent more than 3,000 days in jail without being found guilty of a crime is an outrageous injustice.
At this point, the family is left to grasp for straws at how and why their loved one could be kept in a local jail so long without ever being convicted for a crime.
It's believed that no man in the history of Alabama has ever been held in detention longer without trial than Kharon Davis.

Barak Richman and Daniel Libenson: What is the role of the 21st-century rabbi?

The decline in religiosity among American Jews should prompt a reappraisal of how religious leaders are trained and deployed in Jewish institutions, say an academic and a practitioner.
Traditional Jewish institutions are facing many of the same issues that concern mainline Christian institutions -- declining participation among young people, increasingly outdated and expensive buildings, centralized institutional structures designed for a 1950s society.
How can and should the role of the rabbi adapt in this new environment? Duke law professor Barak Richman and Jewish innovator Daniel Libenson have tackled this question in a paper focused on rabbinic training.
In "Right-Skilling: Rabbis and the Rabbinic Role for a New Century," Richman and Libenson, pointing to parallels between the U.S. health care system and American Jewry, argue for reforms in rabbinic training and Jewish institutional life.
Using changes in medicine as a model and drawing on Clayton Christensen's theory of organizational innovation, they argue that there's a need for "right-skilling" -- developing and employing professionals with the specific, targeted skills the sector needs.
Rather than training every Jewish clergyperson to fit the mold of the idealized family rabbi who has known every family in the congregation for decades, they argue for employing a decentralized model, in which a team of leaders trained in different specialties work together to facilitate Jewish learning and community.
"You do not need the brain surgeon, because most of your health needs do not involve brain surgery. You might need a nurse practitioner," Richman said. "We don't really need someone who is thoroughly versed in Talmud and hermeneutics or homiletics -- it may be actually what we really need is the camp counselor."
Richman is the Edgar P. and Elizabeth C. Bartlett Professor of Law and Business Administration at Duke University and specializes in the economics of contracting, new institutional economics, antitrust and health care policy. He also has written about Jewish issues, including raising questions of whether the Conservative movement's rabbinic search practices violate antitrust laws.
Libenson is the founder and president of the Institute for the Next Jewish Future, which aims to foster new ideas and approaches to Jewish living. Before that, he served as executive director of the University of Chicago Hillel and as director of new initiatives at Harvard Hillel.
Richman and Libenson spoke to Faith & Leadership about their proposals for innovation in rabbinic education and Jewish institutions. The following is an edited transcript.
Q: In your paper, you compare rabbinic education and medical education. What did you find fruitful in that comparison as you contemplated this issue?
Libenson: Medicine is an area that has been particularly impacted by the information revolution, some of the same forces that we think are affecting religion.
What we wanted to explore was the question of whether and how the struggles that the medical profession has been facing are similar to those that religion has been facing, and then whether some of the solutions that seem to be popping up in medicine a little bit more quickly could be relevant to religion as well.
Richman: The role of professionals and the power structure within the institutions are fairly similar also. In hospitals, the organization is mobilized around physicians. Physicians are the power center.
Q: You identify the key issue in rabbinic education as a mismatch between the way rabbis are educated and the needs of the communities they're being trained to serve.
Libenson: Rabbinical training includes a lot of elements that are actually not especially relevant to the day-to-day work of a rabbi. And they're not learning a lot of things that they ought to be learning.
The expectation now is that a rabbi is a generalist and that the training should involve all of the elements that a rabbi in principle might be called upon to use. As a result, when you graduate, you don't have enough skills in any particular area to actually do the job all that well. So you need additional training, which is often acquired on the job.
Some of the struggles in terms of changing that [mismatch] come from the fact that it's already a very long training program. I think psychologically it's hard to remove parts of the curriculum. There's pressure from the field to say, "You can't reduce the number of hours spent studying Talmud" or, "You can't reduce the number of hours studying homiletics," even if you're talking about somebody who, when they go out into the community, is never going to give a sermon in their entire career.
That was part of why we're suggesting to have some kind of specialization, or "right-skilling."
Richman: We are training people for jobs that are in decline, and we're not training people for jobs that are on the rise.
Rabbinical training is traditional. Mostly, it's training pulpit rabbis, and if you just look at the job market, the number of pulpit rabbi openings is shrinking and the number of other opportunities is growing, like working at senior centers, being camp counselors, other sorts of pastoral duties.
Q: What are the needs of the community?
Libenson: People are looking for what they call "traditions." They're proud to be Jewish. They feel good about being Jewish. But they're highly unengaged in existing organizations like synagogues.
I think what they're looking for is somebody who is able to help them learn to do Jewish traditions in a way that they perceive as authentic or meaningful but not necessarily tied to some preconceived notion of the "right way" that our kind of Jewish community does it.
One of the interesting discoveries that's kind of surprising is what Chabad rabbis -- who are ultra-Orthodox -- are trained to do. Their theology is such that they believe that every Jewish thing somebody does is itself valuable. Therefore, they really reinforce for people a sense of accomplishment and good feelings, no matter what they do.
Chabad rabbis' training is much, much shorter than Reform or Conservative or even Modern Orthodox rabbinical training. It's an example of some of the right-skilling that we're talking about.
Q: In your paper's conclusion, you talk about envisioning "a system of professionals that works together, rather than as figureheads atop discrete communities." How does this fit in with the idea of right-skilling?
Richman: Right-skilling involves three separate ideas. No. 1 is that the kinds of needs the people have and the kinds of skills that would be really useful are multifaceted, and it would be ineffective to rely on one person to supply them.
The second idea is that right-skilling is often associated with de-skilling. You do not need the brain surgeon, because most of your health needs do not involve brain surgery. You might need a nurse practitioner.
We don't really need someone who is thoroughly versed in Talmud and hermeneutics or homiletics -- it may be actually what we really need is the camp counselor.
The third idea is diversity. Having an individual at the pinnacle [of leadership] presupposes a homogeneous congregation. It presupposes that we all come to pray at the same time and the same place. That certainly isn't true now. The whole millennial world is organized very differently from, say, the world of the 1950s. We shouldn't expect a Judaism where everyone shows up at the same time at the same place and does the same thing.
We need a diversity of institutions, we need a diversity of professionals and skills, and we also necessarily need it decentralized.
Q: When you suggest that the role might be similar to that of a camp counselor, it might sound as though you are denigrating it as trivial. But camp plays an important part in Jewish education.
Richman: All sorts of camps and retreats -- and especially overnight camps -- have played a very, very significant role in the American Jewish experience for the last 100 years or so.
Many people would say that summer overnight camp has been their most formative Jewish experience. There is [now] some reckoning, even in the big institutions, recognizing that the synagogue is not succeeding in the same way that summer camps are.
The kinds of things the camp counselor does are often very supportive and constituent of creating a community, both in the summer in the mountains but also on your typical Sunday afternoon.
Libenson: I think that the question about right-skilling becomes a question of different levels of training. To take Barak's analogy as an example, nobody imagines that it would be better if a camp counselor had five years of rabbinical training.
Using a patient management analogy, perhaps there would be some mechanism in the Jewish community that would help people figure out what kind of Judaism they're actually looking for and that would be able to direct them to the professionals and other resources.
Today, somebody interested in Judaism assumes they should walk into their closest synagogue. Then they're -- by definition -- being shuttled into a particular point of view of what Judaism is. They may not even realize that that's happening. Often, they're not happy, and they just assume that that means Judaism isn't for them.
Q: One thing you note as a factor in your paper is that American Jews want to be Jewish but they aren't necessarily religious. How can you be Jewish and not religious?
Libenson: That question has ancient roots. Daniel Boyarin at Berkeley talks about the idea that Judaism as a religion has only been accepted by Jews in the modern era. The notion that Judaism was a religion was actually something that was constructed by Christian thinkers.
Judaism understood itself to be the folkways and lifeways of the Jewish people, and religion was part of that, but only one part of it -- and not necessarily even the most important part.
I think that Jews have internalized that notion that religion is only one part of Judaism and that if you don't accept the religion, then you can still be Jewish and just as much a Jew as somebody who is very religious.
In fact, a study of American Jews that was undertaken by the Pew Research Center in 2013 found that 32 percent of millennials say they have no religion but also identify as Jewish.
How does that translate for Christians? I think of something like a Christmas tree. People might say, "I'm not Christian, because I don't believe in Jesus and I don't accept the various tenets of Christianity. But I grew up Christian, and I still want to celebrate Christmas and have a Christmas tree." They're kind of experiencing Christianity as something other than a religion.
I think what people are looking for is a way to experience these Jewish traditions or folkways or culture or wisdom in a profound way but not necessarily in a religious way.
Q: And part of your argument is that that is not "less than."
Libenson: Right. The training of rabbis and the role of rabbis in modern America has actually modeled itself consciously and unconsciously on the training of Christian pastors, Protestant pastors in particular, and has really positioned the role of rabbi as a religious leader, as a clergyperson, which was not actually the traditional understanding of what a rabbi was.
American Jews of our times are looking for somebody to help them learn [Jewish traditions], but that person doesn't necessarily have to be a rabbi -- and in fact wouldn't have been a rabbi throughout much of Jewish history.
So there's a role in the Jewish world today that I think is very much needed -- somebody who would be the leader, instructor, convener of Jewish activity that is not religious in nature.
Q: In your model, are individuals on their own or is there also a congregation or community?
Richman: The gathering element is critical. The congregation, the community, is critical, certainly, to our notion of Judaism, and I think it's critical to the religious experience.
What is very different, though, is it would probably be better not to have the gathering always in one central, physical infrastructure. That acts as another analogy with the health system, where our health system finds the multispecialty hospital at the epicenter. It's actually a really bad place to deliver medicine. It's very impersonal. It has a huge overhead -- very costly, very inefficient. Lots of mistakes also.
In our notion, gathering can happen in a lot of different places, in places that often are much more accessible than the big synagogue. It's a very democratizing approach to encouraging the formation of communities where there is no locus of control, there is no epicenter.
Libenson: This question is also the genesis of our idea of a rabbinic practice group where you would have multiple kinds of rabbis working together as a team.
Something like that is harder to do in a small community with only one synagogue. But you could imagine a situation where multiple synagogues merged in some fashion and hired a team of specialists, as opposed to each one having a generalist.
Richman: I do think that digitally we are connecting with people in very different ways, and that has very significant implications not just for notions of community but also for the need to build expensive buildings.
But even taking digital technologies aside, our model for religious engagement by not relying on jack-of-all-trades professionals also opens up a much more participatory environment. I think this really is very much what millennials will want. They will not want to sit in a pew and be spoon-fed things. They want to be active.
You can imagine a Jewish community in a small place that is vibrant precisely because the roles that would traditionally be given to one rabbi instead are dispersed among the laity. It's a community where there's much more ownership over the individual roles, and that's something that I think is almost a prerequisite to engaging millennials.

Thank you!
I see that Morrison's run starts at #19, should I read the previous issues or it's a "full" reboot
I binge watched this show a couple weeks ago and I loved it. I didn't know much about the patrol before this show but I laughed and cried especially with Larry's story, but my favorites are Jane and...
Well, I'm glad I didn't spend a penny on this series.
What the hell was that.
I can accept that.
I really like the new Young Justice book so far, even if I'm still not sold in the newest characters :p
I've heard good things from Doom Patrol so I'll start it soon
Since we are sharing memes :p 81706
This sounds better than civil war 2 :p
Do you guys think King has the range to actually pull a twist off the twist? As a "gotcha"?
I will say that through this mini I've enjoyed Harley's character more than I have on her solo series.......that's a positive for King I guess.
Wasn't she in a mini with Jason and Kyle in Countdown?
Hopefully all these delays are Johns planning to fix whatever this mess is.
Haven't visited my LCS in months and I have a lot of floppies to pick up....but I'm considerinf boycotting other than supersons and YJ
That was one of the worse events I have read.
I think someone asked a while ago and she said it was a maybe if she figured out Donnas backstory
Diana dating a woman doesn't equal that they have to fridge Steve though, the woman could be an ex girlfriend who she broke up with but they're on friendly terms.
I like it! One of my favorite looks of all time tbh
I agree. imo I would like to see the Silver Swan again as one of Cassie's main enemies, last time she appeared she was put into a coma under Robinson right?
I'd have taken it as a future elseworlds story as a counterpart to Batman 666 (not necessarily in that universe) but I won't be too negative for now. I think they'd have aged it like 13 years if they...
If it's looked back, I feel it's going to be a "we don't talk about it" like Flash fans did with Bart Allen's Flash Run.
Crossed fingers to see if she does a cameo or two in Wonder Woman in the future, since she got soft rebooted she might know Diana :p
Convergence Superboy's design was wonderful despite the comic was a mess.
I'll admit that Bendis is very hit or miss for me, haven't checked the recent Supes issues. I'm just worried that Jon is gonna get Chris Kent'd, aging him too much seems a misstep when there's...
I think the first one is over sexualized considering she was meant to be 16 imo. The second one looks more accurate.
Catching up with the YJ show and the episode with Dick and the 3 Harpers is hilarious
I agree. Especially because Bendis has Kon-El back, and it is inevitable that he appears in the Super Comics since Bendis runs both of them. It's going to be really sad if so imo. I'd have settled in...
I don't think Lennox is this relevant to the WW runs anymore, I'd be okay if she was the daughter of a rando. Though the Zeus origin is still the canon one for me.
