Kelsay Myers is a writer and artist, currently living in Walnut Creek, CA. She's interested in interrogating methods of identity construction and persona, myth and reality, poetry and prose, and theory and form to explore the limits of personal history and narrative. She received an MFA in Nonfiction from Saint Mary's College of California in 2012, an MFA in Poetry in 2013 and is currently Vice Chair of the MFA in Creative Writing Program Advisory Board, as well as an adjunct English Literature instructor at Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Sacramento. Her work has appeared in Portland Review, the anthology More Voices: A Collection of Works from Asian Adoptees, and the Lantern Review Blog.
My writing mentor, Diane Seuss, taught me how to be epic and bold on the page. In writing, she is fearless, and one of my favorite of her essays to teach, is "Turd." It's a crowd-pleaser. Whether I'm teaching eighteen-year-olds at a private liberal arts college or 40-year-olds at a trade school, the atmosphere in the classroom becomes infectious when we read "Turd." The students initially chuckle at the title, somewhat nervously, as if they're unsure of how seriously to take what I've just handed them.
Make no mistake, however, it is a serious piece of writing, as well as a versatile one. I've taught "Turd" in Writing Composition and American Literature classes as an example of a Contemporary nonfiction essay. I've used it as a model for literary analysis, writing prompts on creating persona, or personal essays that push the boundaries of what's acceptable in either form or content. Seuss is a poet, and "Turd" was originally written as a prose poem, but it was published as a nonfiction essay in Wag's Revue.
One reason it works in the classroom is because it's deliciously relevant to an American audience. "Turd" taps into that driving force in each of us to appear flawless and makes it humorous and grotesque. The students relate to the excessive quality of the woman in this essay and to critiques of violence and vanity that emerge in such an exaggerated example of the human will to construct identity. Seuss is a Master of Persona, and the students pick up on that from her first few lines:
"I know a woman who threw a human turd—her own—off a balcony in Seattle, Washington. Her gig is that men she likes, even men she once liked and likes no more, cannot know she shaves, exfoliates or shits. According to the self she constructs for her boyfriends, her body is naturally smooth and hairless as a baby rat, and nothing golden brown or black and tarry, nothing log-shaped or numerous and small and round as a squirrel's stash of acorns, has ever exited her creamy exterior."
With an opener like that, the students are hooked. Class discussion after finishing the essay is always positive. Even classes that have been unresponsive in previous discussions of texts, will become animated and voluntarily talk about this one. It's good to teach as an introduction to a class, or to students who have been actively defiant or disinterested in other course material because of how enthusiastic the students become when reading it. I believe the reason for such excitement across ages, backgrounds and disciplines is because "Turd" surprises them. It's not the typical kind of essay they've read before or are expecting to read in a classroom setting, and thus, it reaches them.
It's also true that we simply don't outgrow scatological humor. . .I'll admit in teaching this essay, I want to shock my students. I want to unbalance them and expand their ideas of what's possible in writing and in literature. I want to show them how to be just as fearless in what they choose to write about and in how they go about doing it. (Sometimes I even pair this essay with Cheryl Strayed's "Dear Sugar" response to Elissa Bassist, "Write Like a Motherfucker," for the added shock factor!) And it's worked so far. It seems almost magical, but there's power in that mysterious, larger-than-life persona that Seuss possesses and inspires us all to go find in ourselves.

Singapore Writers Festival Literary Pioneer – Celebrating Anne Lee Tzu Pheng
This year, the festival celebrates Anne Lee Tzu Pheng, Cultural Medallion recipient and one of Singapore's most distinguished poets. Having written for over 30 years, Lee's poetic voice is at once intensely personal and universal. Lee will deliver the first ever Literary Pioneer lecture about her writing journey as a vocation. Visit Lee's exhibition to discover her creative life, inspiration, and legacy through poems and other personal memorabilia, and join her as friends, former students and colleagues share their favourite works from Lee in an evening of readings.
The SWF Literary Pioneer programme is curated by The Arts House.
Artist in Words Exhibition
Exhibition | 3 – 12 Nov | 10am – 10pm
Gallery II | Free
This exhibition will bring you on a journey through the poetry of Anne Lee Tzu Pheng. Often most well-known for her poem "My Country and My People", Lee's writing extends beyond themes of nation-building to spirituality, love, nature, and ordinary daily life. Preferring to be called an artist in words, rather than a poet, Lee's respect for the art form is unwavering, as she continues to refine her craft to this day.
SWF Classroom: Anne Lee Tzu Pheng 101
Talk | 4 Nov | 11.30am – 1.30pm
Living Room | Fest Pass
The decades-spanning poetry of Lee is defined by wit, humanity, and candour. It also involves a distinct constellation of themes that has evolved with her highly private, mental life. Let poet-critic Gwee Li Sui take you down a new literary path through Lee's personal literary journey. To celebrate the legacy of this major Singaporean poet, he will delve into some of Lee's finest poems .
Swf lecture: not by bread alone or choice
(moderated by gwee li sui)
Lecture | 5 Nov | 2.30pm – 3:30pm
Chamber | $15
Lee will share experiences and lessons gleaned from more than 30 years of writing poetry, and explain how her journey has become a vocation, where writing is not a choice or an exercise of the will, but a mysterious unfolding of her convictions that has as much to do with personal identity as with spiritual growth.
an evening with ANNE
Reading | 8 Nov | 7.30pm – 9pm
Blue Room | Free
Join us as friends, colleagues and former students of Lee gather to read their favourite poems from her and share cherished memories they hold of the poet.
Watch the video of Anne Lee Tzu Pheng's interview below.
About Anne Lee Tzu Pheng

Some of her poems have been set to music. She published three new books in 2012 and another two in 2014, including Soul's Festival, a compilation of her first four collections which had been out of print.

All songs written by Becky Rae Dalton
Ready or Not and Sunny Day produced, mixed, and recorded by Stephen Helvig at Droptone Studio.
Love Him All The Same and A Little Longer produced and recorded by Davide Raso and Owen Sartori at F5 Roundhouse. Mixed by Stephen Helvig.
Ol' Mississippi produced, mixed, and recorded by Christopher Pogatschnick.
Mastered by Greg Reierson at Rare Form Mastering.
Bio taken from beckyraedalton.com
Minneapolis singer/songwriter Becky Rae Dalton has gracefully emerged onto the Twin Cities music scene connecting with audiences through her powerful vocals, catchy lyrics, and authentic performances. After 16 years of writing and performing music, Becky Rae finishes a three year journey of creating her debut album Ready or Not. The indie/folk/country album will be release on September 30th, 2017 at the Riley Jacques Barn located at 9180 Riley Lake Rd, Eden Prairie, MN 55347 at 7 p.m.
Ready or Not brings you on a journey of truth, forgiveness, and love. "Love Him All The Same" begins the album in a true country storytelling style that leads toward a beautiful acceptance. The upbeat, encouraging title track "Ready or Not", awakens the inner child and energizes the soul while the combination of bluesy guitar and Becky Rae's ethereal vocals, float you away on the eerie backwaters of "Sunny Day". The tempo picks up on "A Little Longer" leaving you energized with the whirlwind of a new love. Finally, "Ol' Mississippi" wistfully reminisces on letting that love go. Becky Rae's style can be likened to Lissie, Brandi Carlile, and Joni Mitchell. Ready or Not will leave you uplifted and ready for what life throws your way.
Based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota, she developed her love for singing at the music day care she attended where she learned piano and singing in festivals. She played drums in school band but her desire to sing took over and after high school she went to McNally Smith and graduated with a Vocal Performance degree in 2001. After college, she joined her first original band and started her adventure as a songwriter. Her early influences were in alternative and folk music, and over the years, she has developed a liking for pop, blues and country. A few favorites are Sia, Bonnie Raitt, and Miranda Lambert.

ARIES men and women are the notorious commanders of the Zodiac. You love to push everything and everyone around. If you can't find a great crusade to push, you'll grab a broom and start pushing it.
The best aspect of all of you ardent Zodiac sheep put together is that no matter what your means, you do achieve your ends. You get the job done, there's no two ways about it.
Aries, a FIRE sign ruled by Mars, means you have a constitution that burns fast, hard, and hot. You'll take over like leaping flames, engulfing your competition with choking smoke. When you're in action there is almost no stopping you.
In love, let's just say: You like being on top. Literally!

TAURIANS of the Zodiac are affected by the planet Venus, an orb of emotions and feelings. You robustly appreciate life.
Taurus, an EARTH sign ruled by Venus, means that slow and steady though you may be, you are nobody's doormat. In your quiet, pleasant way you could rival anyone at getting the job done.
Still, your power is at its peak when you simply are holding your ground, firmly and tenaciously as only you can.
You win at a stare down and have the necessary endurance to overcome blows that would topple a whole battalion of fighters. You never start what you can't finish. You understand the word commitment.
Infamously stubborn in relationships, when it's time to call the whole thing off, you'll still be in the ring, waiting for the frustrated lover to come running back to your strong embrace.
May 21 to June 20
GEMINIs move with the highest velocity of the Zodiac. You fly over hurdles, dig tunnels under walls, skip freely over a tightrope, anything to get you where you're going.
Gemini is an AIR
sign, ruled by the planet Mercury. Everyone loves to rag on GEMINI. They'll
call you anything from "two-faced" to "flaky" to "flighty" to downright "schizophrenic."
Some of these accusations do fit the bill every now and then, but the truth of the matter is that most everyone is jealous of you. You do things with such apparent ease and speed, you've just got us all miffed.
The reason that you are symbolized in the Zodiac by the Twins is not that you have a split-personality, but that you are two times yourself. There's just that much more of you to go around!
June 21 to July 22
There are two things to tease CANCER about: Moody Blue personalities and huge appetites. Both are true!
Symbolized by the Crab, this sign of the Zodiac is a WATER sign ruled by the Moon. You have a protective outer shell that you never, and I mean never, let anyone penetrate. Inside you are private, emotional and brooding. But that exterior of yours can hide even the darkest thoughts.
You probably
always look good and your surroundings probably look even better.
You like low lighting, soft and cushy furnishings, harmonious colors peaceful
protection from the storms outside. You are a Moon Child (the alternative
name for Cancerians that is not always in the Zodiac) and the changes
in the Moon, your ruling planet, affect you at every moment of your
Like the Moon, and like the force of water, you can exert an amazing yet undetectable power over others.
July 23 to August 22
LEOs are the attention getters of the Zodiac. They don't
just enjoy being in the center ring -- they require it. LEO is a FIRE sign,
ruled by the Sun, born to step into the spotlight, to radiate warmth and
As the saying goes, "What you see is what you get." You don't
wear a facade of any kind. You believe you deserve the good life.
Symbolized in the Zodiac by the king of the jungle, you as
a Lion, are characterized by a regal posture, noble interests, lofty tastes,
and by your commonly held belief that you are extra-special. For all your
personal power of presence, you by definition are egotistical.
Most of you LEOS are loud -- you'll use any device to nab
attention. With sound, sight, taste, smell, and touch, you'll play it all
to the hilt.
August 23 to Sept. 22
VIRGOs define pure modesty. Though you're often quiet and
thoughtful, you are rarely shy about expressing a personal point of view.
VIRGO, an EARTH sign, ruled by the planet Mercury, is unrivaled
in written communication. You are a genius at coping with zillions of boring
little details and a complete devotee of order. You process, you analyze,
you systemize.
You can be fussy, finicky, nit-picky, critical of other ways
of life, and sometimes even prudish. As irritating as some of your pet
peeves can be to those who know you, your acts of giving are so impressive
that your minor shortcomings are overlooked.
As symbolized by the Virgin, you are the boys and girls next
door of the Zodiac. You're Good with a capital G.
Price: $15.99
Sept. 23 to Oct. 22
LIBRANs are the cleanup crew! Yes, it's true. Males as well
as females of the 7th Sun sign are the handymen and washerwomen of the
LIBRA, an AIR sign ruled by the planet VENUS, conjures up
the image of free-flowing, peaceful airy climates in a Utopian world composed
of goodwill and good acts, ruled by fair and loving creatures.
As discriminating as you are, you dislike boring, petty details.
Your tools are your well-recognized Scales (as seen on your Zodiac glyph),
symbolizing to others your most positive attributes: honesty, fairness,
justice. Their opposites -- dishonesty, greed, and corruption -- are your
public enemies.
You go first class or not at all. Knowing how much you love
laws, rules, and formalities, you probably have already procured a permit
to carry your loaded gavel.
Oct. 23 to Nov. 22
Double-crossing a SCORPIO is like signing a suicide note!
Symbolized on the Zodiac by the scorpion, Scorpio is a WATER sign ruled
by the planet Mars.
With a fixed movement pattern, you Scorpios will devise your
game plan meticulously. You'll move toward your goals slowly and deliberately,
as if you were stalking live prey. Whether events will turn to positive
or negative trends is, as usual, up to you and how you use your scorpion
You'll have some secrets that you share with no one, though,
you are chronically seeking the secrets of other people.
When you get down to the business of making love, it's serious
business. You elevate intercourse to the highest experience of your life.
You put your heart and mind and body and soul into a union with another.
Nov. 23 to Dec. 21
If you, like me, are born a SAGITTARIAN, you probably enjoy
blabbing as much as I do!
On the Zodiac, we are FIRE signs, ruled by the planet Jupiter.
We warm hearts and homes, we heat up spirits when they're low. We inflame
and ignite the minds of others through our fervent love of ideas. We love
cliches, and handy proverbs.
Sagittarians thrive out in the open wilderness and are often
known among friends as true party animals which explains their chronic
fear of confinement.
We also like to play dumb. We're complex creatures. To attempt
to advise a Sagittarius in matters of the heart is a doomed mission. That
is why we only ever find true love by trial and error. We're irresistible!
Dec. 22 to Jan. 19
This is no pleasant task for me to explain to all you clinging,
climbing CAPRICORNs why you end up being the butt of most of the astrological
jokes. It's because you're so dang serious!
On the Zodiac, CAPRICORN is an EARTH sign, ruled by the planet
Saturn. You must achieve the highest levels of Success or you will feel
your life is worthless.
Money, career excellence, recognition, physical security,
and emotional intimacy are all matters of supreme importance. And the fact
is that, whether you give yourself credit or not, you almost always prevail.
You may cover up your eternal desperation to succeed with a clever, subtle
sense of humor.
You'll outlive and outdo all the others. You may not be chuckling
now, but you always get the last laugh.
Jan. 20 to Feb. 18
Once the sun passes through the dark, earthy reaches of Capricorn,
it arrives in the altogether different Zodiac realm of AQUARIUS, an AIR
sign ruled by the planet Uranus.
Now this doesn't mean that all you AQUARIANS follow the stars.
The only things that all AQUARIANS follow are their own unconventional
opinions. Whatever your political persuasions, however, you've been given
special gifts for rallying the masses.
As symbolized on the Zodiac by the human Waterbearer, you
bring a refreshing, positive message of community, of hope, and of progress.
You don't just talk about ideas, you'll do something with your ideas, especially
when they can serve mankind. Your planetary master brings intensive insights,
wild risks, surprise changes for better or for worse, and also is said
to rule electricity.
It's no coincidence that Thomas Edison, inventor of the light
bulb, was born in AQUARIUS.
Feb. 19 to March 20
Every possible human trait gets dumped on PISCES, the sign
of the Zodiac symbolized by a pair of fish an obvious WATER sign ruled
by the planet Neptune.
More mental geniuses populate your seas, along with more
of the greatest seers and visionaries, artists, musicians, lovers, religious
martyrs, alcoholics, bums, and con artists than any of the other signs-put
together. Each one of you is different from the next, and within the course
of your life you can alter your basic approach drastically.
Your heightened sensitivities to everybody and everything,
can sometimes stress you and stretch you to extremes. Being you may not
always be so easy, but all of us depend on you for our very lives.
Every person from each of the other decans should have a
PISCES in their life, on one level or another.

Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain cut diplomatic ties with Qatar
Mon, Jun. 5, 2017
CAIRO - 5 June 2017: Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Bahrain announced they are severing relations with Qatar over "its continuous support for terrorism," closing their airspace and seaports for Qatari transportation on Monday.
The four Arab countries withdrew their diplomatic missions from Qatar.
Egypt said in a statement early Monday that diplomatic relations have been suspended over Qatar's support for the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, adding that all airspace and seaports are closed to Qatari transportation.
"Qatar is promoting the terrorist ideology of Daesh (Islamic State militant group) and Al-Qaeda groups, and supports the terror attacks in Sinai," the statement added.
"Protecting national security from the dangers of terrorism and extremism, Saudi Arabia has decided to cut diplomatic ties and consular relations with the State of Qatar," announced the Saudi Foreign Ministry in a statement.
Bahrain also gave Qatari diplomats 48 hours to leave its territories; it also closed airspace and seaports to Qatari transportation. Bahrain too has banned its citizens from travelling to Qatar. All Qatari expatriates have only 14 days to leave Bahrain.
"The UAE supports statements of the Kingdom of Bahrain and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on Qatar," the Emirati Foreign Ministry stated on Monday.
The UAE has taken "safeguarding measures" against Qatari diplomats and expatriates in the Emirates, including breaking off diplomatic relations and giving Qatari diplomats 48 hours to leave the UAE, preventing Qatari nationals from entering the UAE or crossing its points of entry, giving Qatari residents, and giving visitors in the UAE 14 days to leave the country for precautionary security reasons. UAE nationals are likewise banned from traveling to or staying in Qatar,or transiting through its territories.
Emirati airspace and seaports for all Qataris will close within 24 hours, and the UAE has banned all Qatari means of transportation, coming to or leaving the UAE, from crossing, entering or leaving UAE territories.
In addition, the UAE will be taking all legal measures in collaboration with friendly countries and international companies with regard to Qataris using the UAE airspace and territorial waters, from and to Qatar, for national security considerations.
Tensions between Qatar and the other Arab Gulf states have been strained since Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani directed a message to four Arab countries - Egypt, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain - that "being hostile to Iran is unwise."
Tamim's remarks, which were published on the state-owned news agency on May 24, stirred Arab and Gulf States' anger. However, a Qatari official said that the news agency had been hacked.
The warning was sent shortly after the American-Arab-Islamic summit was held in Riyadh between Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz, U.S. President Donald Trump, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and King Abdullah II of Jordan in mid-May. The four leaders announced their integrated efforts to fight terrorism in the region and the world, agreeing on confronting the growing Iranian threat in the Middle East and inaugurating the Center for Combating Extremist Ideology to monitor and fight extremism.

Meeting the Geocaching Podcasters
Geocaching Podcast (XpunkX), the Ontario Geocaching Podcast (GerBear), and Podcacher (Sonny & Sandy) in person. Most of the others we've only had the opportunity to meet through e-mails and the Cachers of the Round Table shows. We would love to have the chance to meet with more of these folks with whom we share common passions, but being that podcasting doesn't pay (actually costs money) and we have to earn our livings through day jobs, it doesn't happen often enough. We had initially hoped to catch-up with many of them at Geowoodstock VI but quickly learned following the opening of the registration that only Sonny & Sandy would be attending the event (they announced about two weeks before that they'd been forced to cancel their plans to attend anyhow). We'll keep hoping for the opportunity for a mega-CRT recording (would anyone like to sponsor that for next year's Midwest Geobash or Geowoodstock VII?), but till then we'll have to count on the rare travel to bring us together.

Around the Galaxy: Star Wars News & Notes – June 27, 2018
Let's face it: the last few weeks have been harrowing for Star Wars social media, and a bunch of legitimate news stories flew under the radar during the fray.
Case in point: Fromthegrapevine.com recently reported that The Last Jedi producer Ram Bergman signed to produce the upcoming Rian Johnson Star Wars trilogy (which is at least two years away) and he would like to film it in Israel.
"It's a dream. I'm having the best time in my life," he said to Fromthegrapevine's Gerri Miller. "I'm working with the best people, Rian Johnson and all the people at Disney and Lucasfilm.
"It's all about the work."
And that work will keep Bergman busy for the next several years.
"It's a completely new trilogy that writer-director Rian Johnson, my partner, is going to create," he said. "It's all new characters. Everything is new."
Asked when we might see all this new stuff, Bergman demurred, explaining, "I can't tell you because we don't know yet. Maybe in two years; it's just in the early stages."
Read the whole article, in which Bergman talks about having to watch pirated versions of the original trilogy while growing up in Israel–a fun Q&A.

I run Bitcoin core on my windows 10 machine. And occasionally the damn thing shuts off all my applications and corrupts my Bitcoin Core blockchain download. Yes, I know, don't use windows. That's the obvious answer.
But what I've done so far is backup the entire .bitcoin folder of 200+gb in case of a crash where I can just copy it back to the original place if it does corrupt and just start downloading from there instead of starting from the beginning or does a very long rescan.
My question now is, what are the required files that I would need to backup occasionally to keep this backup up to date where I don't have to resync from the beginning? Is it just the blocks and chainstate folder only? What about all the other files in .bitcoin?

|This article needs to be wikified (formatted according to the Furry Book of Style).
For specifics, check the edit history and talk page. Consult the Furry Book of Style for editing help.
R.C. Fox (real name Carl Richard Kirkwood,[citation needed] born May 6, 1984[1] - died March 14, 2018[2]), was a furry musician, fursuiter, photographer, network engineer, and lead events organizer who lived in the Pittsburgh region close to the Pittsburgh Airport.[1] He was active with the West PA Fur Events, which he maintained,[3] and Pennsylvania Furry Entertainment organizations.
Real life[edit]
In real life, R.C. was a network engineer. He was quite shy and reserved when going into unfamiliar situations, suffering from Social Anxiety disorder and ADHD, but warmed up quickly, he claimed, when meeting other furs or wearing his fursuit. He regularly attended charity events[clarify] and even encouraged others to attend the events as well, to help promote a positive image and bring further attention to the causes they will support. His overall goal was to make others smile and bring the overall mood up of anyone he can.
Fandom involvement[edit]
R.C. was a furry most of his life. He discovered, and became active in, the fandom in 1997,[4] after searching online for information about foxes to support his beliefs as an Otherkin Therian, and then stumbling across the VCL gallery. He strongly believed he is a fox inside and has admitted at times to acting like one.
Due to personal reasons,[clarify] R.C. took a ten-year hiatus between 2003 and 2013 from the community. During this time, he kept out of the public eye and maintained only an online role under a few aliases loosely based on his fursona character's sayings. He rejoined the group at Anthrocon 2013, and was highly active in the community as a major contributor until his arrest, helping to unify the local furs around Pittsburgh and Erie, PA helping to form the West PA Fur Group.[5]
He was active with the KISS Morning Freak Show DJs on their morning stream helping to promote the local furry group and participate in events. He was featured in the local newspaper's Photo of the Day Section for 10-27-14 during his recent public suiting with another local fur, Xanthos. This has led to his active participation with local media, including the Pittsburgh Business Time's recent[when?] article featuring himself and his friend, Zippo Wolf on the cover page as seen [Fursuit of Happiness].
In 2015 and 2016, he was a member of Midwest FurFest convention logistics staff.
R.C. Fox's fursona, Network Fox, was a mix of 80% red fox, 10% fennec, and 10% Arctic fox. His color scheme was primarily black and white, with seven dark teal-blue stripes along his rear torso which wrap around to the front. There were also stripes along his shoulders to the arms, his ears and the patch of hair on his head. He referred to the stripe pattern as the "3-1-3" (each stripe has a specific meaning attached to a personal life events, such as starting a career, getting married, his lovers and so on). His ears' colors (pink/blue) indicated his sexual orientation, which was bisexual. His fursona design overall, pulled from his life in which it represents.
R.C. Fox's fursuit was constructed by More Fur Less (Kishowolf and Sways).[6] It features their signature changeable expressions. R.C. was known to post photos on his Facebook and Twitter accounts in various settings at meets. He was a public fursuiter and could be found suiting regularly around his hometown or at work. His fursuit helped him further express his spirituality as an Otherkin and helped him become more sociable at events.
His fursuit has since taken on new ownership, and is now named Agave. [7]

R.C. in the late 90s and early 2000 was a rave DJ and live performance artist (mostly under the alias DJ: C, among others, which varied upon the event and/or style of music performed) and producer of (4-12 House Productions) for the Pittsburgh area who was one of many production teams responsible for organizing raves and promoting local DJs.[clarify]
On August 31, 2017, R.C. was charged by Pennsylvania State Police with 20 counts of dissemination of child pornography, one count of possession of child pornography, and one count criminal use of a phone.[16][17] The arrest came after a 2016 confession to possessing about 50 videos of child pornography on his computer, in turn following a 2015 event where a sexual video depicting an 8-year-old child was traced to R.C.'s computer.[16] This became known in the fandom after a docket containing personal information matching that of R.C. was discovered[by whom?] in September 2017.[18][clarify]
The lower courts transferred the case to common pleas after the initial hearing and the trial was held on March 5, 2018.[19] On January 16, 2018 an additional charge was added, Dissem Photo/Film of Child Sex Acts (18 § 6312 §§C),[19] a second degree felony which has a penalty of up to 10 years in prison[20][21]. His final charges were 20 counts of possession of child pornography, 2 counts of dissemination of child pornography, and 1 count of criminal use of a phone [22][19].
On March 14, 2018, R.C. did not show up to his scheduled Special Plea Court, and an active bench warrant was put out for his arrest.[23][19] At that hearing, he was due to enter a plea and be sentenced on his 22 charges.[22] He died the same day.[2][22][24]
R.C. Fox "passed away suddenly" on March 14, 2018, according to his obituary.[2] Within the furry fandom, his death was reported as a suicide, and linked to a story of an unidentified decedent discovered in a car, as reported in the Times Online (The Beaver County Times).[24] [25] Speculation into his motivations included inability to appeal a conviction or prove his innocence (on the basis of being a victim of network hacking),[24] not wanting to jeopardize his mother's career as a schoolteacher,[24] remorse for his actions,[citation needed] fear of experiencing violence while in prison,[citation needed] and cyberbullying from members of the furry fandom.[citation needed] Most or all of R.C.'s social media had been deleted or blanked in October 2017, several months before his death.[18]

Lincolnton's football boys covered themselves in glory as they defeated a strong and husky bunch from Warrenton by the score of 13 to 0 last Friday afternoon.
Lincolnton tallied a score in the first few minutes of the game, but after that the Warrenton boys out-played Lincolnton until the first half was over. The visitors came very near scoring in the second quarter as they carried the ball nearly the length of the field to the five yard line, where they lost the ball on downs.
In the second half Lincolnton scored their second touchdown and then held the visitors in check the rest of the game.
There was an unusually large crowd out to see the game and cheer the boys on to victory.

China's caught in a real bind right now, and fresh quantitative easing from the U.S. isn't helping.
Inflation is a threat in China, and it is at least partially driven by speculative capital entering China due to expectations of a yuan appreciation, higher interest rates in China vs. the developed world, and strong relative Chinese GDP growth.
Yet should China hike its interest rates to control inflation, it will only widen the gap with U.S. interest rates, which could attract even more capital. If China does nothing, then inflation could get worse.
Problem now is, Bernanke's QE2 just gives capital yet another reason to choose China over the U.S., threatening further inflation. It thus compounds the problem above.
But China has to do something, and they'll likely be forced to mix interest rate hikes with domestic price controls in a haphazard struggle to keep the nation on track says Credit Suisse:
Credit Suisse's Dong Tao:
With the Fed conducting QE2 and hot money flooding into China, we believe the PBoC may hold back from another rate hike before the end of this year to avoid widening the interest rate gap at this time. The risk of raising the reserve requirement ratio before the year-end would be higher, in our view. Nevertheless, we believe the negative real interest rates will eventually force the central bank to raise nominal interest rates again in 1Q11.
We project CPI inflation to reach 4.5-5% in 2Q11. This may lead to a total of three to four interest rate hikes in 2011, with the deposit rates rising faster than lending rates, and rates for longer duration rising faster than those in the short-end, in our judgment. It has also become more likely that Beijing may re-introduce price controls in areas such as fuel and grain at the retail level, similar to what it did back in 2006 and 2007.
However, the one thing they won't do is budge on the yuan-dollar exchange rate:
We maintain our view that Beijing is unlikely to allow the RMB to appreciate anything more than in a symbolic sense, even if this means possible trade wars ahead. China seems to be making adjustment in the RMB real exchange rate, via wage increases, much more aggressively than in the nominal exchange rate.

Tiberian Eclipse is a total conversion mod for Unreal Tournament 3 that brings the theme of the famous RTS game C&C;Tiberian Sun to a whole new genre. BTE will bring the player into the war that rages between Nod and GDI and allow them to battle that in the past, has only been seen overhead. We have a lot of key and unique features we plan to implement into our mod that will set us apart from all others. Not only this, but creative liberties are going to be implemented into this TC. Although I want this mod to be recognized as a Tiberian Sun conversion, we are not strictly held to the style. Original objects from TS will be recognizeable (the Orca Fighter for instance) but will also be revamped with a new style. We do not feel the mod should be done to exactness because there is no creativity in that.

Citi-HKCSS Community Intern Program in its ninth year of fostering University Students' Corporate Social Responsibilities
Hong Kong – The Citi-HKCSS Community Intern Program (CIP) is in its ninth year of providing internship opportunities at local non-profit organizations for local university business students. Since its inception, more than 600 students have benefited from the program.
The launch ceremony was officiated by Mr. Wayne Fong, Head of Corporate Affairs, Citi Hong Kong; and Dr. John Fung, Business Director, The Hong Kong Council of Social Service.
Co-organized by Citi and the Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS), Citi-HKCSS Community Intern Program is a first-of-its-kind cross-sector collaboration between academia, business and the NGO sector. The program is sponsored by Citi and aims to provide Hong Kong's future business leaders with a chance to understand challenges faced by the community and to further refine services offered by local non-profit organizations. This year, 80 business students will do their internship in 40 local non-profit organizations.
Wayne Fong, Head of Corporate Affairs, Citi Hong Kong, said, "We are glad to support Hong Kong young people – the future business leaders of our community – to apply their expertise, passion and innovative ideas in formulating solutions for challenges faced by local non-profit organizations. Their contribution is crucial in further improving services offered by local non-profit organizations and extending the scope of beneficiaries. Citi is strongly committed to Corporate Social Responsibility and will continue to serve society. We hope CIP participants will become conscientious members of society and continue to serve the needs of the community in their future careers."
Dr, John Fung, Business Director, The Hong Kong Council of Social Service said, "Without the support of Citi, this project would not be continuing for its ninth year. We are grateful to partner with Citi in such meaningful project. This year, we are glad to have Hang Seng University joined. Through the project, students not only serve the community in person, but also understand more about societal needs. Contributing their business knowledge benefits the NGOs concerned, and the concept of CSR is cultivated in youngsters. To date, more than 619 students have graduated from CIP and over 350 NGOs have been engaged."
Between July and August, the CIP interns will work in pairs using their knowledge to assist their assigned NGOs in various projects including event planning, social media management, brand-building, operations and community service support to non-profit organizations participating in the program. Before they begin, the interns will engage in 20 hours of comprehensive training, where they will be coached on necessary communications skills applicable to NGO working environments and will attend seminars on Corporate Social Responsibility and cross-sector collaborations. Participating non-profit organizations serves a wide range of stakeholders, including low-income groups, elderlies, students with special needs, and persons with disabilities. They are also committed to promoting the importance of nature preservation.

No restriction on collection of bamboo by tribals
"There is absolutely no restriction on collection of bamboo from forests by tribals for self use. Artisans who prepare bamboo atricles for livelihood are allowed to collect bamboo from forests," Chief Secretary B K Patnaik told reporters in response to Union Tribal Affairs Minister V K Deo`s letter to Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik.
"Kindly issue necessary instructions to the concerned authorities to allow unfettered rights of transit for sale of bamboo by Gram Panchayat to local buyers which is a right given to them under the Forest Rights Act (FRA)," Deo wrote in the letter to Patnaik. Deo`s letter said that tribal villagers of Jamguda in Kalahandi district are heavily dependent on Forest and Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFP) for their subsistence and as a source of cash income.
"The villagers have direct dependence on bamboo for variety of uses. The villagers while collecting bamboos have to face a lot of harassment by forest officials," Deo said. Claiming that Odisha pioneered in implementing FRA 2006, by settling above 1 lakh cases in terms of recording forest land in name of tribals, Patnaik said, "In case of bamboo, the policy is clear. The tribals are allowed rights to take bamboo for their consumption."
The tribal people who make articles by using bamboo as raw materials never face any difficulties, the Chief Secretary said adding the state government would certainly look into the issues raised by the Union Minister. The issue, however, was raised after the state government did not issue transit pass for sale of bamboo by the residents of Jamguda village in Kalahandi distrct.
Tribal villagers had identified 170 bamboo bushes for harvesting and the approximate market value of these bamboos was over Rs one lakh. Local buyers had shown interest to purchase bamboo from Gram Sabha at market price. However, the local forest officials denied permission for the trade on the forest produce. "There is no restriction of taking bamboo from forest for self consumption. But we do not allow the villagers to sell them," a senior forest official said.

Will the Euro 2016 Football affect the result of the British EU Referendum?

Just spotted on Yahoo News, as if in answer to my query: Euro 2016: Senior Russian football official tells violent fans: keep it up!.ReplyDelete
I should have guessed that it was due to involvement of the ultra-nationalists. I wonder, though, whether that sort of thing will serve as encouragement to Putin to be even worse than he is generally in sabre rattling?

Wholey Moly vegan cookies arrive in Selfridges Birmingham
Want to satisfy your sweet tooth with a cookie that is good for you? Wholey Moly, the premium, naturally healthier vegan cookie, is now available exclusively in Selfridges Birmingham.
The treats, which contain no refined sugars or processed ingredients, were launched by Meenesh Mistry and Parul Vadher after they craved a cookie but did not want to eat biscuits, doughnuts and cakes that were full of empty calories.
"We wanted to satisfy our craving for something sweet when we had our afternoon cup of tea but still wanted it to be good for us," said Meenesh.
"We spent two years trying out different recipes, baking thousands of cookies in our small London flat until we found the combinations that really hit the spot. They are all vegan, high in fibre, very low in salt and have as little as 5g of sugar, which is 50% less than your average healthy snack bar."
Wholey Moly comes in three delicious flavours: Cacao & Orange, Cacao & Hazelnut, and Almond, hemp & chia, which packs an impressive eight grams of plant protein. They all contain naturally good-for-you ingredients such as cacao, coconut oil, seeds and nuts, helping to load the cookies with vitamins, minerals, healthy fats and antioxidants.
Sam Watts, general manager of Selfridges Birmingham, said: "Vegan food is enjoying a real surge in popularity, so we're so pleased to welcome yet another innovative brand to our renowned food hall."

Laser dentistry? It might seem like we're talking about a dentist in a galaxy far, far away. But lasers have many practical uses in the real world and in modern medicine, including dental procedures and treatments. If you're on the fence about laser dentistry, here are a few pros and cons of laser dentistry to consider.
When is Laser Dentistry Used?
At White River Dental, we use a Solea Laser, which has two types of lasers. One laser can be used to make incisions in soft tissue, such as the gums. The other laser can be used to cut through hard tissue layers, such as bone or teeth.
A laser may be used in many dental procedures, including the following:
- Crown lengthening
- Treating painful cold sores
- Correcting tongue or lip ties
- Removing tooth decay
- Gum reshaping
- Cavity and crown preparation
- Exposing wisdom teeth
Pros of Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry is truly changing the way the world looks at dental procedures. There are several benefits of using lasers in dentistry including the following:
- Minimally invasive procedures
- Quicker healing time
- Virtually painless procedures
- Ideal for pregnant women who may have sensitive gums
- Ideal for children or people with dental anxiety
- Greater precision
- Usually does not require anesthesia or suturing
- No drilling or grinding sounds
- Reduced risk of infection
- Reduced bleeding and swelling
Cons of Laser Dentistry
It's clear that a laser can be incredibly beneficial in dentistry. However, there are some situations where lasers cannot be used. Dental lasers:
- Cannot be used on teeth that have existing fillings
- Cannot remove damaged crowns or bridges
- Cannot be used to fill cavities between teeth or in large areas of decay
Is Laser Dentistry Right for You?
Laser dentistry is an innovative type of dental care that is changing the way patients view dental treatments. The dentists at White River Dental are trained on and knowledgeable about this technology and are proud to offer their patients a more comfortable dental experience.
