Big Question Mark Over ISL's Future If I-League Clubs Are Ignored: Bhaichung Bhutia
Bhaichung Bhutia advocated introduction of a promotion-relegation system if the ISL wants to attract more eyeballs.
At a time when many I-League clubs are unclear about their future, former India captain Bhaichung Bhutia says there would also be a "big question mark" over the future of the Indian Super League (ISL) unless it accommodates clubs which have "history, passion and fanbase". Bhutia also advocated introduction of a promotion-relegation system if the ISL wants to attract more eyeballs. "For ISL also, it's very important that clubs like East Bengal and Mohun Bagan are there. It's not just the future of I-League. The future of ISL is also in big doubt. There is a big question mark," Bhutia said.
Eight I-League clubs, including East Bengal and Mohun Bagan, recently wrote to All India Football Federation (AIFF) president Praful Patel requesting a meeting to "seek answers" regarding the league's future and complaining about "interference" of the apex body's marketing partner Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL) in the sport's decision making.
The letter said the I-League teams also wish to discuss potential relegation to the second division in Indian football, with ISL "all set to be branded the top league of the country."
"I think until and unless you have teams like East Bengal and Mohun Bagan and some other teams as well who are very passionate, and have the kind of fan following you don't have in the top league... then the excitement does not really come in. So the ISL also benefits bringing clubs from I-League up. Because I-League clubs have history, passion and fan following," said Bhutia, who had played for both East Bengal and Mohun Bagan.
Asked about the I-League's lesser lights in terms of bank balance like former champions Aizawl FC, holders Minerva Punjab FC and Chennai City FC, the last one now on the cusp of winning the title, Bhutia said the concern over paying the hefty franchise fee for ISL would be gone once there is a promotion-relegation system.
"So it's also important to bring relegation and promotion. If you go on promotion and relegation, you don't have to pay franchise fee," he said.
Talking about table-toppers Chennai's dream run this season, Bhutia said it's great to see a team from Tamil Nadu doing so well despite the state not having much of a footballing history.
"I think in a way it's wonderful that a team from South (India) is going to win, especially from Tamil Nadu, which is not known for being a football state. I think this inspiration is going to motivate lot of footballers there."
Bhutia also expressed his disappointment at East Bengal once again coming so close to winning their maiden crown but frittering away the advantage at the business end of the season.
"I personally as an ex-player am very disappointed they could not win the I-League even this year, despite coming so close. I thought they could make it this year.
"But then you don't also lose hope because there is a new company that has come in. They have a new coach. So I see a great future and hope. But they need to trust coaches and players and can't be doing what they have been doing in the past," he signed off.

Most of you would rely on the natural supplements in this regard but for all those who are getting attracted to the surgical treatments, do you know about its side effects! The most common drawback of such surgical treatments is that they do not give you permanent solution to the problems. Hence why to waste the money then! In addition, why to bear the pain! For the purpose f weight loss, there is a highly effective natural formula that is named as Ultavive Garcinia that you can try yourself.
What is Ultavive Garcinia and how does it work?
Ultavive Garcinia is a weight loss product that is actually getting popular day by day. The reason behind its popularity is the positive reviews of the users of this product. This product is composed of natural ingredients and therefore you can get slim in a very natural and in a healthy way. The best thing about Ultavive Garcinia is that it is a clinically tested and proven supplement and therefore, you can trust on this supplement blindly. It is suitable for almost all the body types because it is a natural supplement.
What are the main ingredients of this formula?
Want to know about the active ingredients of Ultavive Garcinia weight loss product! Well, the details of its main ingredients are as follows:
Garcinia cambogia– it is the most common weight loss ingredient and it serves the great purpose for making you slim as well as active. Garcinia cambogia breaks down the fats and then removes them from your body.
Antioxidants– the main purpose of antioxidants is to improve the protection of your body and to fight with the free radicals that would otiose retain the fats.
Vitamins– these are great for keeping your body healthy. During the weight loss process, you may miss some important vitamins and minerals and by the use of Ultavive Garcinia, you can get back such important vitamins and minerals.
Green tea extract– the purpose of this extract is to make your body energetic and active. This extract is eve involved in increasing the metabolic rate.
Hydroxycitric acid– this acid plays an important role I decreasing your appetite. Actually, the main task of this acid is to neutralize the appetite producing enzymes and hence your appetite gets controlled.
What are the pros?
When it comes to Ultavive Garcinia, its demand is increasing day by day. It means that this supplement is really special for the purpose of weight loss. It can produce the following results for you actually:
- This weight loss formula is literally the best for fighting with unnecessary fats of your body and it has not only been claimed by the manufacturer but also by the experts and scientists. They have researched about its ingredients and its impacts and they have concluded that it is the best supplement for making you slim.
- With the use of this supplement, you can actually lose weight permanently that is really great. It means that losing the weight will be one time effort and its benefits will be for the lifetime.
- Ultavive Garcinia brings discipline in your body. Your habit of eating all the time changes and you eat less. Actually, it controls the production of appetite controlling enzymes in your stomach.

- Ultavive Garcinia is good to make your body more active and therefore, you can take part in the exercise as well that is further good for maintaining your weight.
- Your body shape gets much better and your body actually gets tight and firm.
What are the cons?
If you will take into consideration the cons of Ultavive Garcinia as well along with its pros then it will be better for you in long run. Therefore, for you, I have collected the details of all the possible cons of this weight loss product that are as follows:
- This weight loss supplement is literally not good for those people who are fat because of any disease. Sometimes, hormonal problems can also cause obesity and hence in that case, if you want to get rid of the fats then you should improve the health of your hormones first.
- If you are totally relying on Ultavive Garcinia to lose the weight and are putting any efforts in the exercise then you should not expect great results from it. Exercise is a must even though this supplement is useful.
- If you are pregnant then you should not try this weight loss formula otherwise it may be risky for your health or even for the health of your baby.
- Do not over consume this product with an intention to get much faster results because the excess quantity will not benefit you but it will give you harms.
My personal experience with Ultavive Garcinia:
I never had a trust on the weight loss supplements and I had always thought that smartness is achieved through better and active lifestyle but not through the weight loss supplement. When I gave birth to my baby, my belly had come out. Even though, my lifestyle was same and my activities and my eating habits were same but still I had become fat. Hence such conditions forced me to look for some weight loss product. I found Ultavive Garcinia in this regard that I have been using regularly and literally I feel that the size of my belly is decreasing day by day. Anyways, I am not only depending on this weight loss supplement but along with using it, I take the exercise as well. I feel happy that I am getting fit in my old clothes and I am getting slim, attractive as well as active. No one can imagine that I am a mother because I look like a young girl by appearance. If anyone else is looking for a weight loss solution then I would only recommend you to use Ultavive Garcinia.

When going to Omaha (Nebraska, USA) we met Sean Johnson, Senior Director, Business Attraction at the Greater Omaha Chamber. As an energetic partner dedicated to helping the startup community there, he explained to us how to succeed in this vibrant metropolitan area where more and more large and small businesses thrive.
Credits: Greater Omaha Chamber
Beeleev : Can you tell us a few words about yourself and the Greater Omaha Chamber?
Sean Johnson : I lead our efforts to recruit new companies that will create jobs and invest capital in Greater Omaha. We strive to attract innovative companies that will continue to diversify our regional economy, broaden our tax base and offer high paying jobs to our citizens.
The Greater Omaha Chamber and Economic Development Partnership is an organization that makes The Greater Omaha region a vibrant place to do business, work and live. It promotes a thriving business community and a prosperous region by:
- Advocating for a strong business climate and member businesses
- Creating opportunities for business connections and member visibility
- Pursuing investment and jobs for the region
- Strengthening leaders and the community
- Enhancing the region's brand and image.
What are the cultural aspects to consider when setting up a business in your region?
Omaha is the home of Native American Indian tribes, pioneers, railroad laborers and meatpackers, and they helped shaped its current cultural diversity, strong work ethic and friendly demeanor. The Region presents big city opportunities in a small community atmosphere with great transparency and accessibility between corporations, government and residents. The low cost of business allows startups a longer runway to pivot, refine and perfect their product or service.
Credits: Greater Omaha Chamber
Is the region open to entrepreneurship?
The region is dedicated to attract startups, as the more local startups that make it, the more entrepreneurs feel emboldened to launch their ventures here. Currently, there are 44 startups throughout fields of:
- Agribusiness
- E-commerce
- Engineering/Construction
- Financial services
- Retail solutions
- Healthcare
- Software-as-a-Service
- Sports technology
Greater Omaha is home for some of the Midwest's most premier high tech/high growth startups. The region's local ecosystem has the capital, talent, professional services, and community assistance necessary to help scale startups. Check out: http://omahastartups.org/ for more information.
What are the key points to succeed there and the obstacles to overcome?
Advantages startups can capitalize on in Greater Omaha include: a very skilled and well-trained workforce, low cost of doing business and living and depending on the market/industry geographic proximity to suppliers and customers.
In order to realize these benefits startups and individuals alike must familiarize and be aware of all that Greater Omaha has to offer. Too often the lack of awareness or incorrect perceptions about this place lead entrepreneurs to the coasts instead of the Silicon Prairie.

One Shift That's a Game-Changer in Life
for You and Your Loved Ones…..
By Ronna Phifer-Ritchie, PhD
A lot of relational disappointments are a result of the harsh, inhuman expectations we place on ourselves and our lives. This year, give yourself and your significant others the life-changing gift of some targeted release of those expectations using personality type awareness!
When we forget that we are human beings with human limits, our relationship with self and others really suffers. Why? Because our relationship with reality is also suffering when we forget those things. And to whatever degree we are out of touch with reality, the personality (ego, false self) is usually filling in that vacuum with impossible, inhuman expectations of others and ourselves.
The Enneagram of Personality is a high precision instrument when it comes to helping us wake up to the kind of inhuman expectations we can mistake for realistic expectations when we are under stress and stuck in what Yechezkel and Ruth Madanes, internationally renowned founders of the Madanes Method of Enneagram Coaching, call the "autopilot" mode of our personality type (From Stuckness to Growth: (Enneagram Coaching) How to Read Your Coachees and Transform Their Lives, p.37):
Ones: It is possible to achieve absolute perfection.
Twos: It is possible to be loved by everybody.
Threes: It is possible to be successful in everything.
Fours: It is possible to be always unique and deep.
Fives: It is possible to attain total knowledge.
Sixes: It is possible to attain total security.
Sevens: It is possible to achieve absolute happiness.
Eights: It is possible to be strong and in control all the time.
Nines: It is possible to find absolute peace and calmness."
Any relaxed breeze of awakening to the background noise of these demands of the personality, any awareness brought to our particular style of inhuman expectations, can be like hitting the "refresh" button on our life and relationships.
Criticizing ourselves for having unreasonable expectations that have damaged our relational life, is not what we are going for here. That frame of mind only pushes us right into another set of inhuman expectations. (i.e. "I shouldn't have those kinds of expectations!") As top Enneagram scholars, Don Riso & Russ Hudson, have been so fond of reminding their students, we can do this work in any moment that we are willing to practice even a little "noticing and letting go" of these habits of thought.
Giving the gift to ourselves of a little bit of noticing and letting go of any of these inhuman expectations is also one of the best gifts we can give others in our personal or professional relationships. It is quite simply a relationship tonic!
This exercise in targeted release of Enneagram-Type-based expectations is the kind of good dose of grace and self-compassion that always powers up our contact with reality, with ourselves, and with others. It can begin to melt some of the personality's unrealistic demands that create a lot of interpersonal misery, and chart new territory in dating life memory-making.

updates tonight should be called, down-dates
Posted: January 23, 2009 at 9:43 pm
laura and lana brought me a sub for dinner (thank you!)…we checked sparky at 730…ok and again at 9..hmmm, not sure, her breathing is ok, but her belly is still rock hard and bloated and i can hear a ton of gas in there not coming out. she was down when we went into the barn, but she did get up reluctantly after i had asked and nudged her several times.
she has had her 9 pm meds and we are still in holding pattern, waiting and seeing.
laura and lana went home, i came in the house…oh yay, star was throwing up everywhere again and licking the freaking floor. WTF?????
i shoved a couple of reglans down her, which she has vomitted up so i tried again and i am out of the injectible reglan so if she doesn't stop soon, means a trip into emergency.
so my questions tonight are… why the hell have we not put an observation camera in the barn? and why the hell did i not get more injectible reglan just in case because i cannot afford the time away from sparkles tonight to take a puking/psycho licking boxer into emergency. and finally…if star was going to be puking her guts out again…why could she have not started this morning when she was already AT the vets getting xrays?????
rescue (and puking boxers) freaking sucks.

In case your capital budget is tight, however you want gear to determine, preserve or grow your business, don't fret. Understand that, not like with equipment leasing, even when what you're shopping for does turn into obsolete, the mortgage will not be affected, which means that by the end of your payment plan, you could possibly be paying for a chunk of equipment that not advantages you.
There are also instances when a business will choose to finance the purchase of equipment, to liberate capital to invest in different areas of the enterprise. Term loans are one other possibility for small business homeowners who want quick access to money for an equipment purchase.
The perfect small enterprise gear financing for you relies on what kind of equipment you want and whether you'd like to lend or lease your tools. Make the most of fast credit score choices and a streamlined gear mortgage application process. For loans as much as $100k, the loan utility is simple and processing time is between 72- ninety six hrs.
With a more traditional mortgage, lenders need to see years of economic history and an honest credit rating, amongst other documentation. Some varieties of gear finance like tools leasing and sale and leaseback are extra tax efficient than shopping for outright.
Choose Santander Enterprise Gear Finance and enjoy a streamlined equipment loan software process, fast credit score selections, and the support of a local banking accomplice. Mortgage limits can go as high as $500,000 and the annual percentage charge for gear loans is somewhere between eight{3611460b237789c5a19b4b93f3db3aff047dcdd1feb8a4334066dc6bd6d5bcdb} and 30{3611460b237789c5a19b4b93f3db3aff047dcdd1feb8a4334066dc6bd6d5bcdb}.

Pop orient from source geo each frame
marles posted a topic in EffectsHi folks, I'm stuck on a issue. I have a deformed geo that i have fractured in packed pieces. Then I want to use a popnetwork to drive my packed pieces. I would like to update the position and the rotation of my particles with the deformed geometry, but when i try to update the position with a pop wrangle like: @P = point(1, "P", @ptnum) with my geo source on the second input of the popnet, the orientation dosent fit of the original geo, the orientation is not updated. So, how can i update properly (position and orientation) of my packed pieces with the source deformed geo in the popnetwork frame by frame ? here is some video to show you, ths ! What i have, orient not updated: orient.mp4 What i would like, fine deformation: orientok.mp4
FLIP- fluid going thru collision geometry
art3mis replied to art3mis's topic in General Houdini QuestionsThanks Atom! Will have a look. Went thru the Collisions Masterclass and seem to recall problems with leaking fluids but no 100% solution. After reading the thread also had the same question as OP, re POP fluids, especially for table top size FLIP sims. I notice in the animated gif the fluid never leaves the container, even when upside down. Is this expected behaviour?
pause simulations, turn off computer, resume later
Atom replied to anicg's topic in General Houdini QuestionsThat is what .sim files are for. You are essentially caching the state of the simulation. You should be able to resume from the last saved .sim frame number. When you resume, resume from the next frame number, not frame #1.
FLIP- fluid going thru collision geometry
Atom replied to art3mis's topic in General Houdini QuestionsYou could take a look at this setup. I believe it tries to remove all velocity motion and simulate at world origin. Then the translation is re introduced to the final output to track the moving object.

Check value every 10 seconds and trigger animation based on value
Atom replied to Krion's topic in ScriptingHere is another attempt to control the carve value. I promoted the i@id, from the dopnet from points to primitives to avoid any changing @primnums. int duration = 240; // ten seconds @ 24fps. $FEND int travel_time = 96; // frame count to traverse length. i@on_frame = int(fit01(rand(@id),6,(duration-travel_time))); i@off_frame = i@on_frame + int(fit01(rand(@id+801),6,travel_time)); if ((@Frame>=i@on_frame) && (@Frame<=i@off_frame)) { f@carveValue = fit(@Frame,i@on_frame,i@off_frame,0,1); // or 1,0 } else { f@carveValue = 1.0; // or 0.0. } ap_CheckEvery10SecondsAndConnectOrDisconnect-elaborated.hipnc

Use Ordered Menu to Change Parameters in Tool
Drughi replied to grafikzeug's topic in Tools (HDA's etc.)Ah, your right better to use a dictionary. probably you need to add the script to the "code" paramterer defaults. But Tomas is right - better embed the code to a hda. The way I did it (this code parameter) is more of a hack to be able not to use a hda.

Creating smooth curve from imported curve geometry
acey195 replied to straaljager's topic in ModelingHey, Welcome to Houdini! May I suggest using the convert SOP (converting it to third order NURBS) you may also find it useful to: use the facet SOP using the "Remove Inline Points" toggle and then play with the distance to remove some "oversampling" use the fuse SOP to merge nearby points in corners (to avoid having sharp corners using convert) resample with a large value for "Maximum Segment Length" to reduce the noise in your samples Or alternatively, you can also keep your geometry at polygons with the resample SOP, setting the "Treat Polygon As" dropdown to "Subdivision Curves"

Motor show attracts large crowds to quay front
Thousands flocked to Wexford quayfront over the Bank Holiday weekend to check out all the latest car models available in Ireland.
The Wexford Motor Show has been a major attraction over the last number of years and the glorious weather brought large crowds to the area.
There was something for everyone over the two day event regardless of whether you were looking for new 182 model or interested in the cars of yesteryear.
The show provided a perfect opportunity for those in the market to browse the various brands available and view the competing models side-by-side rather than having to travel from showroom to showroom.
This year's show which drew crowds of almost 20,000 had the biggest ever motor business participation in the country with 21 franchise dealers and 27 brands represented.
There was also plenty of fun attractions for children with music, clowns, Disney characters, face painting, a climbing wall and kids area.
The charities supported were the RNLI, Down Syndrome Ireland and the Special Olympics. The show was organised by the local motor retailers and the Society of the Irish Motor Industry with support from Wexford local authorities, the Gardaí and the RSA.

The results of collapse therapy, despite their spectacular improvement during the last decade, are often inconstant, unpredictable and disappointing. As culled from the literature the reasons for success or failure are manifold and often contradictory. On the other hand, a large number of clinical, pathological and experimental studies provides a sufficient basis for a discussion of the factors that play a beneficial or disturbing rôle in collapse therapy. While many single phases have been studied carefully, I failed to find in the literature a comprehensive discussion of the problem as a whole. A clear conception of the physiology of pulmonary

Announced by the Madison based property developer Gorman and Co., the new $15 million hotel financed by foreign investors should be up and running by April of next year. Ground breaking of the new hotel started October 17th of last year on the former Pabst brew house and mill building site at northwest corner of Juneau Ave. and 10th Street. The new ninety-room Brewhouse Inn & Suites extended stay hotel had an approximate fourteen months construction schedule set for completion.
As an industry leader since 1984, Gorman & Company are known for their innovative community revitalization projects specializing in preservation and rehabilitation, workforce affordable housing, and important historic buildings adaptive reuse projects and more. According to Ted Matkom of Gorman Co., they were hoping to complete the project before schedule, but minor installation delays of furnishings, fixtures, and in-house equipment kept the project opening date expectation until April 2013.
A big challenge was installation of the new windows. The existing Pabst brewery building has over 300 windows of various shapes and sizes including nine-foot tall arched windows on the historic brick façade of the building. Specialty neo-Victorian industrial lighting has also been installed to give a Steampunk feel of the space you won't find at the traditional chain hotels. In the atrium the original columns are kept and painted to comply with fire proofing code standards and new railing are being added to slowly finish the lower level atrium and lobby.
In addition to interior building renovation of the new Brewhouse Inn & Suites, work is also taking place on the outside beer garden expected to be complete by spring 2013. This outdoor space is dedicated as a family and friends area to grab a beer, relax and socialize enjoying the new historic revitalized preservation atmosphere.

While continuing to embrace big plastic sunglasses that keep people guessing as to which celebrity you might be, we also adore the classic shape of the aviator.
Tom Ford has combined the two trends into the Ford Sunglasses ($360 @ eLUXURY). It's a shape that will look good on most face shapes, while the inlaid metal bar across top and at the temples gives these shades an extra splash of glamour.
For lovers of the timelessly chic style of aviators and tried-and-true quality, the Ray-Ban Aviator Square Wrap Sunglasses ($119 @ eLUXURY) are your best bet. These have a slightly more updated feel to them thanks to the wrapped design, but you'll still get the best lenses around whether you opt for the black or brown version.
Find a wide selection of designer aviators and oversized sunglasses at UnitedShades.com.

Buddha gets parties to back him
The West Bengal government managed a victory of sorts in the ongoing battle over the Gorkhaland issue by getting an all-party meeting on Tuesday to adopt a resolution rejecting the demand for a separate state.india Updated: Jun 18, 2008 01:20 IST
The West Bengal government managed a victory of sorts in the ongoing battle over the Gorkhaland issue by getting an all-party meeting on Tuesday to adopt a resolution rejecting the demand for a separate state.
But it was a fractured consensus as four of the 16 political parties, including the two main Opposition parties — Trinamool Congress and SUCI — abstained from the meeting that adopted the resolution unanimously.
In Darjeeling an all-party meeting called by the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha adopted a resolution reiterating the demand for separate statehood and calling upon the Centre to create Gorkhaland comprising the Darjeeling district and the contiguous Dooars area of Jalpaiguri district of West Bengal.
Parties which attended the meeting called by the GJM included the Congress, the BJP, the Trinamool and 10 other parties.
"We have already communicated the demand for a tripartite meet in Delhi. We are expecting that we will be invited for talks in Delhi soon," GJM leader Bimal Gurung said after the meeting.
"If leaders from Bengal can come together to oppose Gorkhaland then why can't the Gorkhas unitedly fight for Gorkhaland?" Gurung asked.
In Kolkata, neither Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee nor state Congress chief and Union minister P.R. Dasmunsi criticised the GJM or any other party for raising the demand for Gorkhaland. "We are all keen that all the contentious issues must be resolved through a political solution. We must show abundant patience and both the Centre and the state government must jointly make efforts through dialogue and peaceful negotiations," Bhattacharjee said.
Asked if the state government would accept the GJM's demand for tripartite talks with the Centre, Bhattacharjee replied, "We have no objection to any bipartite or tripartite talks. We are not for any confrontation. We will also inform the Centre about the outcome of the all-party meeting."

Geoff C.
- What is your favorite WOD(s) or Skill(s)?
I would say Fran is one of my better WOD's. Not sure of the reason, but my Thrusters and Pull-up combination seem to have an efficient transition. For me it is a quick workout that I am able to track progress and/or recognize a need to work a little harder.
- What WOD is at the bottom of your list?
Anything that involves handstand pushups. As much as I would like to learn the skill, I don't see myself figuring it out anytime soon.
- How would you describe your diet? (Paleo, Primal, Zone, Clean, etc.)
I have tried Paleo in the past and can say that I definitely noticed a difference in my fitness and performance. To continue strict Paleo was a challenge and difficult to manage while traveling. Currently, I tend to lean towards clean eating and just making overall healthy choices. I plan to modify a Paleo diet in the near future and hope to improve my overall or at least maintain my current fitness levels.
- How did you hear about CrossFit Trenches?
We moved to the area in July 2014 and began searching for a CrossFit Facility. One of the reasons we selected to purchase a home in the Winghaven area was the convenience and atmosphere Trenches provided. We made the obvious right choice and look forward to enjoying our remaining 2-3 years at CFT.
- How long have you been doing CrossFit?
I began CrossFit in February 2013 at a small box in St. Augustine, FL. I had the typical hurdles of learning the exercises and trying to get over the daily soreness. There were some initial doubts about whether I would be able to continue, but quickly became addicted and determined not to let some burpees beat me. It has been a great 3 years and I look forward to enjoying both the daily WOD and CrossFit community for years to come.
- Describe your biggest milestone, achievement, or "A-ha" moment at CFT?
There have been a couple of moments during my time at CrossFit Trenches. First, I have had to get used to working out to 80's music enjoyed by Mid-Westerners. Not that it is a bad thing, just has taken some getting used to and now I enjoy flashing back to my high school days. Second, was during a miserable WOD that involved 6 or 8, 800m runs. That day my mind was wondering and I began to question the difference between CrossFit and just going to a regular gym. With the exception of the obvious benefits from CrossFit, I can afford not to go to Complete Fitness for $10 a month. Lastly, my first muscle-up happened one morning at CFT. It is an exercise I never really practiced or worked to achieve. It surprised me to get the movement, but I attribute good programming and professional coaching to the achievement.
- What encouragement or advice would you give to new people coming in?
When I started CrossFit, I weighed 240lbs with both high cholesterol and high blood pressure. It was obvious that I needed to change my lifestyle in order to manage my career and be around for grandchildren. CrossFit has changed my life and has allowed me to pursue options not available to my prior fitness level. I would encourage anyone to make time for themselves and embrace the suck!
- What's your favorite motivational quote and why?
"Let's Roll", Todd Beamer, September 11, 2001.
Simple, to the point, with major impact.

Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum feels disrespected that his Republican gubernatorial opponent Ron DeSantis referred to him as "Andrew" in the two debates that occurred over the past week.
Speaking Thursday at Florida Memorial University, Gillum took DeSantis to task for the perceived lack of decorum. "I met him for the first time the other night and then all of a sudden, without invitation, he was calling me only as Andrew. Between the two of us, he quit his job in Congress, I'm a sitting mayor, and he had the nerve to address me only as Andrew?" Gillum said, according to the Miami Herald.
Asked about Gillum's complaint over the weekend, DeSantis unleashed a tirade. Speaking to WTVT reporter Jennifer Holton, DeSantis said, "He called me a dog in the debate. Did you watch that? So what, he has his own standard and I have a different standard? Is there a double standard here? Okay, fine. Crooked Mayor Gillum. How about that? He took bribes, he was wrong. How about, Failed Mayor Gillum? He has the highest crime in Tallahassee. The highest number of murders in history. His former chief of staff is campaigning against his record, running for Tallahassee (mayor) right now. How about Radical Mayor Gillum because he signed this Dream Defenders pledge and we will not disavow them. He will not disavow them, he stands with them, he stands by them. They are militantly anti-police and anti-law enforcement. It is what it is. I'm going to shoot straight."
I asked @RepDeSantis about the criticism he's been taking about calling @AndrewGillum "Andrew." Here's what he said: pic.twitter.com/QBlcYFSJ45

Mayor Gillum responded to DeSantis' comments with a simple, "Now, now Congressman. Only 10 days left, okay?
Now, now, Congressman. Calm down. Only 10 days left, okay? https://t.co/CMgQnLcDmG

I'm not sure how feasible this is but would it be possible to mimic a GoPro Wifi Remote? Not the smart remote.
As I understand it, the remote is a AP and the gopros connect to it. The AP issues a command, and all cameras execute it. A little reverse from how it is configured now, GoPro AP and RC connects to it.
This would really expand the ability to use multiple GoPros and have the RC control them all.
Just a nice to have, and curious if anyone has considered it.

The Power of Story
An Exhaustive Essay Exploring a Theory of Myth as Story, and How Stories Affect Us
Novelist Graham Swift wrote that, "only animals live in the Here and Now. Only nature knows neither memory nor history. But man — let me offer you a definition — is the story-telling animal. Wherever he goes he wants to leave behind not a chaotic wake, not an empty space, but the comforting marker-buoys and trail-signs of stories."1 Every human culture in all the world has a corpus of ancient myths, and every culture continues to tell stories, whatever form they might take. For millennia, scholars have tried to understand what those stories mean, and why storytelling seems to be a universal human necessity.
I begin with these grand opening statements not as a generalization to begin a narrower discussion, but because it is this very grandeur that I hope to address in this paper. What is it about myth that makes it a universal human reality? What is it about stories that keep modern audiences enthralled and allow millions of artists to work? And how are myths and modern stories connected?
As a writer myself, the mystery behind the universal power of stories fascinates me. Why might people want to read what I have to say? How and why are stories important to us as individuals and us as a society? Why do ancient myths still permeate our consciousness — and our art? Why do we have this universal appetite for narrative?2
I hope to address — if not answer — all of these questions in this paper. My proposal is that for modern humanity, myth and narrative fiction can serve the same purpose, and that this purpose is an illumination of the human experience. Stories can do many things for many people, and their power can be transformative.
To reach this conclusion, I begin with a brief overview of some common academic theories about myth. I will show what about them succeeds, what does not, and how they can relate to modern humanity, culminating with some of the theories most relevant to my case. I will then show how myth and modern stories can be equated for our common purposes today, that they have the potential to achieve the same power. Finally, I will take a much deeper look at just what it is that stories do, how they affect our lives and why they are so important that they have appeared across the world and throughout time.
I will end the discussion with something of a more personal look at myth and story — how it affects me, given the presented evidence, and how it can affect my writing.
After all, if anything defines what it is to be human, it may be — as noted by literary scholar Kath Filmer-Davies — "the ability to be both mythopoeic and mythopathic — that is, to have the ability to make myths and to respond to them — and, by extension, to the metaphysical, psychological, and imaginative truths they contain."3 There is surely something there for us to find.
A Problem of Definitions
To present a reasoned discussion of mythology, literature, philosophy, and psychology, a few major terms need to be defined — especially in order to keep things clear, when dealing with similar concepts like myth, fiction, and story: all terms that could mean the same thing, in some circumstances. For instance, all of those words are used in some modern contexts to mean "falsehoods" — one might speak of the "myth of global warming," that "his excuses are a fiction," or that "children shouldn't tell such stories."4
For the present discussion, I use the term fiction to refer to any modern narrative — whether this take the form of novels, plays, movies, or any other medium. Note that the way I use the term for this paper is not its normal definition, because I include within it narrative non-fiction as well (which by normal definition is, of course, not fiction). I do this simply for ease of reference. In this case, that which I am directly opposing with this term is strictly expository text: information without plot or narrative, such as a textbook or, say, this paper; furthermore, fiction is limited to modern tales, to differentiate it from ancient narratives (such as, perhaps, myth — as discussed below). In sum, fiction is modern narrative, regardless of truth factor. (Ancient novels and non-mythic stories have many similarities with fiction, but I will leave them out of the present discussion for the moment.)
I use the term story as my broadest reference. Like fiction, a story is a narrative — that is, "that mode of thought about what is possible for human beings in which protagonists, on meeting vicissitudes, experience emotions."5 In other words, it has plot and character. The difference between it and "fiction" is that story is not limited in time.

Dressing up is fun. It always has been. When you're a child you get to dress up and be a fireman, a knight or a princess but when you're a grown up, you don't really get the chance to get creative with your clothing quite so much.
When I was researching videos produced by museums for Show Me I stumbled across this one from Tate.
Fabulous fashionista Iris Apfel has dressed up for the gallery's Matisse exhibition and it reminded me of the times that I've dressed up a little bit to see an exhibition. When the Cartoon Museum explored Doctor Who in Comics I donned a fez and a bow tie because the then Doctor played by Matt Smith said that both were cool.
Likewise for the V&A's Hollywood Costume exhibition I took my sartorial cue from the star object: Dorothy's Ruby Slippers. I donned a blue check shirt, brown corduroy trousers and bright red plimsolls to get into the spirit of things.
I've seen people dressed as Vikings at the British Museum and as various incarnations of David Bowie at the V&A, so I'm clearly not alone in getting into the spirit of things with a costume.
So when it was reported that two teenagers were forced to change at the Natural History Museum I couldn't help but wonder why.
The article says that the Museum has commented that 'While we don't have a particular dress code, the duty manager is responsible for deciding whether people can enter the museum.' Adding that 'We have in the past had visitors in costumes cause disturbances in the building, which affected other people's experience at the museum.'
Clearly, the dinosaur one fits right in with the setting. The Umbreon, not so much. (Annoyingly, the Metro describes Umbreon as an insect. It isn't. It's a Pokémon.)
Although the situation was clearly embarrassing for everyone, the museum seems to have handled it fairly well, as 'After their onesies were put in the cloakroom Ms Garvey and her partner continued their visit and we offered complimentary tickets in recompense for the inconvenience and embarrassment they felt.'
Let's think about this from a museum-y perspective for a second; costumed interpreters are fairly commonplace in the sector, even in the South Ken Museums. For example, the Natural History Museum has a Mary Anning themed activity featuring someone dressed as the famed fossil finder, and the Science Museum offers cockroach tours.
This begs the question "Could there have been a chance that the onesie clad visitors might have been mistaken for staff?"
The answer is no.
Personally, I don't count onesies as costumes. To me they are pajamas masquerading as fancy dress. I'm not sure how alone I am in this, as the museum staff allegedly counted them as costumes rather than loungewear.
But, costume or no, that's not the point. The point is that these people were clearly excited about their visit, and wanted to reflect that in what they wore.
And let's face it, the outfits used by costumed interpreters are much nicer than a onesie.

Lemme save you some time. Don't watch this, it's so bad. Bad on almost a new level that I hadn't anticipated or felt anything near to in a WHILE.
This is an adaptation based on a manga (I think that's the right use? It's a Japanese serialized novel) that my brother gave me for Christmas one year because I asked him which ones he thought I would like and he gave me like the first 10 issues of Death Note and Monster and wow was he right those are really good ones I enjoyed them both a lot.
So when I saw Netflix was making it I was kind of excited, just to revisit the story, and see what they did. Two huge things right from the start: the main dude was cast as a white. Why????? How by this point, do you see the backlash from Ghost in the Shell/Tilda Swinton/Emma Stone and not think to yourself, "Perhaps this Japanese cartoon should star someone from the culture it originated from?" It seems just willfully ignorant at this point. There's no way the higher ups at Netflix, who I'm sure have a graph for every projected profit margin/viewer demographic that exists, know this stuff, they just don't care. Anyway. The white boy that they cast didn't do a good job either. He overacted (and underacted!! How do you do both??) like a motherfucker and he had these weird stringy blond highlights and no conveyed emotional or internal motivation in a single scene and it's not surprising at all to see on his imdb page that his other big projects are "The Fault in Our Stars" and "Paper Towns."
The second huge problem (did you forget there were two?) was that they made it a MOVIE! I clicked on it thinking I was starting a series, meanwhile an hour in, it's still going and it just hadn't even OCCURRED to me that it would be a movie. The whole thing is 108 chapters in 12 volumes and it's been made into a TV show before in Japan into 37 twenty minute episodes, which makes fucking sense because it's long and complicated. To try to fit the entire story into 1 hour and 41 minutes is insane, the Sex and the City movie is 2 hours and 31 minutes for heavens sake.
The major plot device of this story is this notebook (Death Note) that when you write someone's name in it, they die. There's a bunch of other rules: you have to be thinking of their face, it has to be their full/real name, etc. There's a death guide (a shinigami) that comes with the book that only the owner can see, (Ryuk, voiced by Willem Dafoe) who is kind of a sinister prankster and doesn't have the owner's best interests in mind & whose face and head seem to be made of porcupine spikes. We meet him when he creates a windstorm in a science lab full of craft supplies (what branch of science uses colored feathers?) and he mostly just sits in the dark while his eyes glow.
Where do I start? The kid who gets the notebook, Light Turner (whose name should be Light Yagami) tests it out on a kid at his school who is bullying someone and decapitates him (you can specify how someone dies) and then from there he tells this edgy cheerleader
(they establish she's edgy by having 3 shots back to back: all the girls cheering and her just standing with her arms crossed, her being vaulted to the top of the pyramid and crossing her arms again and rolling her eyes, and lastly a group of girls celebrating and her smoking a cigarette in the middle of it then walking out. It's like a visual crossword puzzle where every clue is 'teen angst')
who turns out to be a sociopath about the book and it makes them fall in love? There's this weird montage of them having implied sex and a bunch of people from the news dying that's super weird and looks like if David Lynch did a commercial for bralettes.
The girl was annoying to me 1. because I don't remember her from the books/I don't think her character existed and 2. her character was just, "high school is boring, I want to kill people" which feels like not enough and too much all at the same time and 3. It felt like they just shoehorned a romance in there to make people more engaged, but if you had conveyed the story right they would already be engaged? It's like taking something cool then stripping it of what makes it cool to just try to make it like everything else that's bad.
There is a famous detective "L" on the case played by Lakeith Stanfield (who does great and no I don't mind blind casting when it's an actor of color) who does a great job with what he's given. In the books the relationship between Light and L is much more of a cat and mouse game, it continues through Light going to college, but in this movie they have like 2 conversations before the movie devolves into a chase scene and everything is bad and I hated it.
Light's dad is a member of the police and L has him give a speech taunting Kira (the media's name for this anonymous killer- in the books it's because of the way "Killer" is written/pronounced in Japanese, in this it's anyone's fucking guess. There was some half-hearted attempt to explain why a white dude made all the people he killed write something in perfect Japanese, a language he does not speak, before their deaths but did it suffice? Does it ever? In this version Light basically tells Mia that Kira means 'light' in Keltic and Russian right before reminding her that Irish people were slaves too) to see if Kira would spare him which he does, cementing L's idea that the killer is the police officer's son.
The movie rushheeeeddd through so much. The police trying to figure out/learning clues was such a fun part of this I remember and in this there's MAYBE 20 minutes before L basically knows who Kira is. Something I just read reminded me that in the beginning Light would write in the Death Note right as he got out of school, which led police to wonder why a 'local spree of murders was only being carried out at a specific time of day' which in the books is why they brought L in at all.
There really is no plot- Light tries to get Watari (L's assistant/friend) to give him L's real name (he's a government orphan trained to be a detective) so he can kill him. He fails, Watari dies, Light's girlfriend sabotages the plan and writes Light's name in the book so she can get it but then also be reunited after she brings him back from the dead with fire. They're at a high school dance then falling off a collapsing Ferris Wheel, in a coma, out of a coma, everyone dies.
It's just too much. I was honestly happy when everyone died at the end. Lakeith did a good job and he is the only one, everyone else should feel bad. The girl (Margaret Qualley) was ok and the dad were ok. And Watari played by Paul Nakauchi (the only Asian actor in the entire movie) was good even though he died pretty early.
Watching Lakeith act in this was like when you get those off-brand bags of candy for Halloween from CVS that have all gross ones and then a few Snickers. He is the Snickers. You appreciate what he's doing but it's not enough. The rest of this movie is those weird wax chewy things that come in unmarked orange and black wrappers. Or a green caramel apple lollipop. Or Necco Wafers. Whatever bad candy is to you really. This is a good analogy because L is always eating candy. In the books he "dies peacefully while eating a chocolate bar." God bless. Anything to escape this right?
I don't really have much else to say, it was SO bad. Except also the music seemed to have a rule that it could only be from the 80's? They played 80's slow songs at all the important moments regardless of what was going on: a police interruption of a school dance, two teens falling off a defunct Ferris Wheel, an alley fight, waking up from a coma, etc. All 80's songs. And while I respect that discipline, the execution was horrible and misguided. And it rained for the whole middle third of the movie? Does bad acting look better in the rain?
If you want a better review you should read this one, I don't have it in me to dissect anything because there was literally no merit in this film at all. I think it'd be more entertaining to read the Wikipedia page for the series, than watch this movie, it was very bad.
HALF an eaten apple (Ryuk likes those and they kind of showed it but not really) out of five possible full apples, will NOT masturbate again, even if I was in a cum desert.
