Medium.com was founded in 2012 by Evan Williams and Biz Stone, who were also responsible for the creation of Twitter. This web-publishing platform allows users to write their own articles, and act as a kind of social journalism.
Evan Williams explains, "Medium is really designed to be a conversation as much as just a monologue, so its a place where, unlike a blog or standalone website, you can see many people's different perspectives and the goal is that those people and ideas build off each other."
We came across Medium.com in the last few weeks, and found that medievalists were making use of it to create a wide variety of articles. They include the Sexy Codicology blog and historical fiction author Hunter S. Jones. We want to share with you fifteen interesting articles related to the Middle Ages that you can find on Medium.com:
Medium and the Middle Ages
15 articles about the Middle Ages from Medium.com
Social Media Distraction: It's Medieval, by Elizabeth Drescher
Maybe Nicholas Carr was right: the internet is just so much catnip in a world already filled with too many distractions. And, like any such drug (even those that seem relatively harmless, especially in relation to the benefits they seem to offer), my freewheeling engagement with the internet is slowly but surely reshaping my brain so that, eventually, I won't be capable of a sustained reflection.
What we can learn by looking at prices and wages in Medieval England, by Vlad Zavidovych
Aggregating data from various sources about prices and wages in Late Medieval England (1264 — 1499) gives great insights about the historical period in addition to what's already known from medieval literature, art, and archaeology.
You Have to Play This 1,600-Year-Old Viking War Game, by Robert Bekenhausen
At first glance, Hnefatafl (prounounced "nef-ah-tah-fel") might just look like a knock-off version of chess with Norse helms and impressive beards, but the game is at least 600 years older—already well-known by 400 A.D.—and is perhaps a lot more relevant to the conflicts of the 21st century.
Video Gaming Made Me a History Major, by Mac Blauner
When my sixth grade history class finally covered the Battle of Hastings, I was beaming with excitement. I was a below average student. I daydreamed through math, and read paperbacks under my desk during English. My so-so grades were like a slow drip on my self-confidence — eroding my belief that I could ever be successful at school.
How to Read Game of Thrones, by Jason Theodor
… or how to read George R. R. Martin's staggering, cumbersome epic without getting traumatized by the torture, rape, incest, and murder, thwarted by the medieval language, lost in his vast, invented world of strangely named cities and surrounding geography, muddled by the epic history and mythology, confused by the excessive cast of characters, or bored by the details of custom and culture.
Medieval Icelandic Sagas Are Social Networks Like Facebook and Twitter, by the Physics arXiv Blog
The Sagas of Icelanders or Íslendinga sögur are a set of stories about the struggles and conflicts among the early settlers of Iceland in the 9th, 10th and 11th centuries. They are thought to have been written in the 13th and 14th centuries by authors whose names have long since been lost. But many academics consider the texts to be gems of world literature .
New digitized manuscripts from the Vatican Library! by Giulio Menna from Sexy Codicology
Since we started the DMMmaps project, the Vatican Library has more than doubled the number of digitally available books. Plus, they have reorganized the home page: Where once you could see the endless list of manuscripts available (now 1'500+!), there is now a tidier page showing the collections and then number of digitized books you may find inside.
Medieval Canterbury and modern day Detroit have more in common than you'd think, by Michael Bintley
My office at Canterbury Christ Church University overlooks the abbey founded in 597 by Augustine, an initially reluctant Benedictine monk whose mission to England under the aegis of Pope Gregory the Great made Canterbury the cornerstone of English Christianity that it remains today. The Anglo-Saxon monk and historian Bede memorably describes the procession of Augustine and his entourage into the mostly derelict walled city of Canterbury, preceded by the cross as a symbol of Christian victory over the curses heaped upon the British by God because of their failings in faith.
Joan of Arc — Saint, Feminist or Nationalist Icon?, by Charles Tan
Having only scarce knowledge and only starting to show interest in European medieval history recently, it would have perhaps been easier for a novice like me to stick to more popular works.
Reconstituting Female Authority: Women's Participation in the Transmission of Islamic Knowledge, by MIIM Design
In March 2013, MIIM Designs Studio attended a conference on"Reconstituting Female Authority: Women's Participation in the Transmission and Production of Islamic Knowledge," hosted by the University of California, Santa Barbara. Particularly noteworthy was the discussion on reclaiming history. In her plenary speech, Dr. Asma Sayeed (University of California, Los Angeles, Near Eastern Languages and Cultures) examined women's religious education, particularly their training in and transmission of ḥadīth (traditions of the Prophet Muhammad) from early Islam to the Ottoman period.
Gawain and Beowulf, by Gerald Lucas
With the waxing popularity of Christianity in late fourteenth-century England, the culture's expectations had evolved to encompass new, more complicated views on human interrelations and the world view in general. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight represents a new conception of the heroic ideal, women, nature, and narrative technique. A juxtaposition with Beowulf illustrates these changing ideals.
Gold Dinar: An Offa You Can't Refuse, by Mark Baldwin-Smith
Barely a century after the life of Muhammad, a gold coin was minted in Anglo-Saxon England, bearing the inscription 'there is no God but Allah alone'. This series tells the rich, under-told and often surprising story of Islam in Medieval and Early Modern Europe, beginning with King Offa of Mercia and this enigmatic gold coin.
The Future of Web Design is Hidden in the History of Architecture, by Mike Sail
The history of Western architecture can teach us a lot about the evolution of web design. As forms of art, both are defined by several factors…
The Artist, the Thief, the Forger, and Her Lover, by Rex Sorgatz
The "Mona Lisa" — that enigmatic unfinished portrait, brushed by a renowned Italian polymath who hailed from Vinci, enveloped in cabalistic intrigue, lacquered with more commentary than any artwork, maybe any object, from scrutiny of her smile to forensics of her eyebrows, semiotics to science, the painting that pioneered new techniques, a Renaissance alchemy of enamels and varnishes, all to create that reticent smirk, those eyes gazing at you through time…
Key Archaeological Sites Of The Isle Of Man, by Simon Costain
Castle Rushen is widely regarded as one of the most complete medieval fortresses in Europe. It was begun by the Norse kings of Man in the later 12th century, though its form was influenced by Anglo-Norman design.

Cineworld Middlesbrough's Dementia-Friendly screening of The Jungle Book will take place on Monday, June 19.
Dementia-Friendly screenings enable people living with dementia and their carers to attend the cinema in a safe and comfortable environment, giving them the chance to get out and socialise.
Screenings are open to everyone, but are enhanced to suit the needs of people living with dementia: during the film low lights are left on inside the auditorium, the volume of the soundtrack is reduced and it's fine for members of the audience to express themselves.
The staff on duty for these screenings have become Dementia Friends to help provide support before, during and after the screenings, as well as making the venue generally more Dementia Friendly.
The initiative has proved hugely popular in Middlesbrough, with more than 600 people attending the six screenings held to date.
Wheelchair spaces are limited so advance bookings are recommended. A flexible refund policy is in place.
- Cineworld Middlesbrough's Dementia-Friendly screening of The Jungle Book will take place on Monday, June 19 from 11am, with doors opening at 10.30am.
Bookings can be made in person at the Box Office or at www.cineworld.co.uk

text: Doesn't exactly answer the original question but my mind was jogged......about three years ago I decided that I REALLY REALLY REALLY NEEDED a couple of the 'everlasting matches', I actually sent for 5 at a cost of under £4 from China. They arrived and were filled with petrol (lighter fluid) and that was the last time I saw or used them......I just dug two of them out and tried them and they both struck beautifully first time and both reservoirs are still full of fluid, not sure how good they would actually be if they were to have been carried around for that length of time but certainly as emergency 'matches' put somewhere 'to hand' they certainly seem to be useful.

Supportive Housing
Housing Access Peterborough manages the centralized waiting list for applicants interested in Rent-Geared-to-Income (RGI) Supportive Housing, on behalf of Kawartha Participation Projects. Supportive Housing provides personal support services and essential homemaking in permanent community residential settings when the client's service requirements justify the need for the availability of 24-hour, on-site/on-call assistance.
On the Housing Application Form, you would indicate that support services are required, and you would be asked to complete the Supportive Housing Medical Form and the Consent to Release Medical Information Form. This information would then be used to determine if your needs could be met by the housing provider. If approved, your application would be placed on the centralized waiting list for supportive housing, and processed in chronological order.

With the outside temperature rising and drivers traveling farther distances, with heavily loaded vehicles, blowouts are bound to happen. How can you prevent it from happening to you? Typically, a blowout occurs as the result of wear, a factory defect, overloading, or most often, underinflation. The service department at Melloy Dodge is experienced in handling any type of vehicle repair, including replacing tires that have failed. Here's our advice on how to avoid a blowout:
Don't drive with underinflated tires. Without proper air pressure, your tires are working harder than necessary. Underinflated tires put more strain on the side-wall, generating heat, and ultimately malfunction. Read your vehicle's owner's manual, or check the inside of your driver's side doorjamb for the proper air pressure your tires require. Check your tire pressure regularly and do not over or underinflate – stick with your automaker's recommended psi.
Don't overload your vehicle. Summer vacation season is approaching and more drivers will be traveling with their families. You may have suitcases, camping gear, and other items to take with you as you drive to your destination, but be careful to over-pack. Consult your owner's manual to see what your vehicle's Gross Vehicular Weight Rating is and be sure not to exceed it.
Drive carefully. Slamming into a pothole, curb or debris in the road is never a good idea, but it's especially harmful to your tires. Sometimes hitting a pothole or other road hazard will cut through the rubber and cause a blowout immediately, other times, the damage won't show up until later. Either way, it's important to drive safely at all times.
Taking good care of your tires and driving carefully go a long way in preventing tire failure. This summer, drive safely and avoid tire failure. If your tires do fail, see our guide on how to replace a flat, and visit the Melloy Dodge service center for any needed repairs and maintenance.

NES console joystick mod
If you have an old NES console just lying around collecting dust, here's a neat mod that you can do. Turn the console into an arcade style joystick that can be used for other consoles. Sure, it makes for a large joystick, but your friends will be impressed.
The NES just seems to look good no matter what modifications are made to it. That's good design. I'd love to see a screen on top as well.

It's been mostly animation that's been going through the studio so I thought it would be fun to put together a 3D illustration. It started off as a quick mock up experimenting with some volumetric atmospherics and ended up being very handy in getting a solid workflow from Lightwave 3D to Substance Painter and back to Lightwave and Blender for rendering.

Flat profile hack on Panasonic GX80 camera (Cine-D)

New Lightwave 3D Pluralsight tutorial!
Boom! I'm now a published Pluralsight author. If you've seen any of my previous tutorials you may have noticed they're a little haphazard in my attempt to quickly communicate a point. However, I'm happy to say that this tutorial is considerably more comprehensive, detailing each step to produce the image above. For more tutorials you can visit this category.
DOF in CG animation video uploaded
I've uploaded a video talking about depth of field in for CG animations. I also quickly cover my workflow from Lightwave 3D to After Effects.
Depth of Field Testing
I've found myself using depth of field a lot more in project, quite shallow depth of field which is very expensive in render time, require many, many samples. However depth maps can be used to MASSIVELY speed up the rendering process by processing the depth of field as a post process. I put together a little scene with the mind to test some of the solutions out there. Continue Reading

Vlogger – Scene Setup
Scene and lighting pretty much done as well as the body rig. I started with a custom joint setup but soon fell back on the Rhiggit V2 tools, which I absolutely love at the moment. The scene setup was inspired by Unbox Therapy on YouTube. Not sure if I'm going to keep it like this but it's a clean start. I've still got a little texture work to go and am re-writing some of the dialogue but hope to start animated soon…ish.
Vlogger Animation Face Rig
Fighting for time to work on my little vlogger animation idea and started creating the face rig. I'm heavily utilising 3rd Powers set of amazing LW Brush plugins for Lightwave to easily create different morph shapes and throwing in bones as and when it feels like it needs it. I think I'm going to go ahead with a basic setup and add finer controls as and when I need them.
The Coast – Clips from Newquay
Got back from Newquay, Cornwall and took the Panasonic Lumix GX80 with me. So far I really like the handling for a travel camera, small enough to carry around all day and very unassuming. But perhaps the best feature, which makes this my preferred travel camera, is the ability to charge it from a standard micro-usb cable. No more carrying around a separate battery charger and adapter cable! I think the other thing, along with perhaps a GH4-like battery life, that could be improved would be the inclusion of flatter picture styles that most of the other UHD capable Lumix cameras have. This, I'm hoping, may still be added in a firmware update? Unlikely I'm sure but, much like the GH2 days, it hasn't stopped the ability to achieve Continue Reading
Zbrush Character Sculpt for a Vlogger Idea
I had an idea for a vlogger reviewing absurd products and am currently getting to grips with Zbrush so I thought it was be a good opportunity to merge the two. This is the first time I've started creating a character with zero consideration for topology and animation, which was incredibly refreshing. I was concerned that starting without a clean modelled base mesh and UV would result in more difficulty creating smooth surfaces with uniform creases, but I'm happy so far. Starting from ZSpheres, using Dynamesh, zRemesher and UVMaster was considerably different to the workflows that I'm used to, but they are amazingly powerful in their own right.
Formation Logo Fun!
Not sure why but it was fun putting together these little logo idents, trying out a variety of animation and dynamics techniques in Lightwave 3D with the DP kit tools.
Yay! Animated GIFs
I started making some animated GIFs (as a video collection here), I'm not totally sure why but I've had a lot of fun doing it. In each one I've been playing with different techniques like; animated GI, low-poly, SSS and nodal animation. I think the reason that they're enjoyable to make it the very fast turn around time. Each clip only took 1-2 days to complete and so didn't interfere with any ongoing work. Here's a few making of images for those that are interested. Continue Reading

Yankees left-hander Jordan Montgomery exited tonight's start against the Astros due to tightness in his left elbow and is traveling back to New York for an examination, as MLB.com's Bryan Hoch writes. Manager Aaron Boone said of the injury that the Yankees didn't have any concern prior to Montgomery's start, though he acknowledged that there is, of course, some degree of concern any time a pitcher exits with elbow or forearm tightness. Montgomery threw a perfect first inning and has a 3.62 ERA through 27 1/3 innings this season, but it's worth pointing out that his average fastball has hovered at 90.3 mph this season after he averaged 92 mph on his heater in last year's strong rookie campaign. Hoch adds (via Twitter) that Boone says Montgomery is in a "pretty good frame of mind" and is optimistic that he's avoided a serious injury.
Elsewhere in the division…
- ESPN's Jerry Crasnick has a lengthy feature on Adam Jones and the possibility of whether he'll remain with the Orioles beyond the 2018 campaign. Crasnick speaks with Jones, manager Buck Showalter, GM Dan Duquette and Jones' teammates in highlighting how important Jones has been to the organization and to the city of Baltimore as one of the faces of the franchise for a decade. Jones noted that given his impending free-agent status, he's "obviously" hoping to put up big numbers but emphasized that his focus is on trying to right the ship in Baltimore after an ugly start to the season for the O's. Duquette tells Crasnick that the team "absolutely" considers things like charisma, appeal to fans and intangibles such as leadership when placing a valuation on a player and praised Jones' impact on the organization and Baltimore community. One anonymous GM noted to Crasnick, though, that Jones is the type of player who could be the "type of guy who gets to free agency and is a little disappointed" — a reference to Jones' questionable OBP skills and declining defensive ratings in center field. O's fans in particular will want to check out the column, as it gives a terrific look back at Jones' legacy in the Charm City.
- Following Corey Seager's season-ending injury, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times writes that the Rays will likely approach the Dodgers to gauge their interest in a trade for defensive standout Adeiny Hechavarria. Tampa Bay figures to trade Hechavarria at some point this season, Topkin notes, and moving him would open a clear path to the big leagues for surging infield prospect Willy Adames. Hechavarria, who is hitting .283/.317/.359 with a pair of homers through 102 plate appearances this season, has consistently graded out as a plus defender at short and is earning $5.9MM in 2018, with about $4.54MM of that sum yet to be paid out. Tampa Bay GM Erik Neander, of course, knows Dodgers president of baseball ops Andrew Friedman quite well from the pair's days in the Rays' front office, and they've lined up on a handful of deals in recent years (Logan Forsythe, Sergio Romo and Xavier Cedeno among them).

BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- A Putnam Investments-sponsored study released Thursday found that about 7 million previously retired Americans have returned to work for pay after an average sabbatical of one-and-a-half years. Most are in a job requiring at least the same skill and experience levels as their prior position. "Our study shows retirement in the United States has already moved far beyond ending work at age 65, gold watches and early-bird specials," William Connolly, head of retail management at Putnam, a unit of Marsh & McLennan MMC, +0.19%, said in a statement.

all the signs were good for the classic thermal breeze and whilst it came later than expected three good races were held in Force 2-3 conditions. Felix Hofinger (AUT) lead the fleet away from the committee boat and immediately tacked into a lift which gave him a commanding lead. Marek Bachtik (CZK) and Al Hall (GBR) battled for the minor places with Bachtik just getting the edge downwind to secure second. The bias had changed for the second start, something which Hall was quick to take advantage of although the first three places were very close rounding the windward mark. A tight downwind leg saw Hall, Bachtik and Hofinger pull away from the remaining fleet with barely a few seconds between them. Up the final beat Hofinger dropped back leaving Bachtik chasing Hall down to the finish, they finished a few seconds apart with Hall holding out just.
Race three saw many place changes after a right wind shift on the first beat. Some new names lead by Toni Eigenstuhler were now in the top three places. However Bachtik and Hofinger had very good race pace and after the final windward mark they had re-established a one – two position. Meanwhile Hall who had found himself on the wrong side of the first beat shift fought back to third place, overtaking five boats on the final downwind leg to secure third.
After three races Bachtik holds a one point lead, from Hofinger, and then Hall a further point behind. For the second day the host club provided a wonderful Austrian meal and free beer all evening. Some local "Schnaps" and dark rums were sampled on a beautiful evening on the club's terrace nearby the lake. Sunday unfortunately did not allow any more racing and the race committee ended the day after ohne starting attempt in the dying southerly morning breeze.
Winner of the D-One Austrian Open 2016 is Marek Bachtik from CZE, followed by local sailor Felix Hofinger, securing the Austrian Class Champion title and third place goes to Al Hall from England. Second place in the Austrian Championships goes to August Schram (4th overall) and third to Georg Schöffegger (6th overall) from Lake Wolfgangsee.
We want to thank the race committee, the restaurant team and especially all the international sailors who made their way to Austria. We hope you enjoyed your stay and we are looking forward to see you again in 2017. Finally, we wish good luck for all our D-One friends competing at the Gold Cup at Garda next weekend.

Elected to four terms in the House, Lanier left his House seat in 2001 to become the Chief Deputy Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, a position he held for four years. In 2009, Governor Beverly Eaves Perdue appointed Lanier to her Cabinet as the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. As Secretary, Lanier had the management and oversight responsibility for an organization with a budget of over $17 billion and a staff of over 17,000 employees, made up of 14 programmatic divisions which included North Carolina's Medicaid and Health Choice programs, the Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities, and Substance Abuse Services, the Division of Public Health, the Division of Health Services Regulation, the State's 14 healthcare facilities including the State's psychiatric hospitals, and the Divisions of Social Services, Aging, and Child Development.

Utah father Dale Price waving goodbye to his son Rain as he boards the school bus. Photo by Wave at the Bus.
Maybe it's your dad's crazy winter hat or the way your mom overshares on your Facebook wall, but at some point, your parents have probably made you cringe. And while it can be tough to pinpoint exactly when Mom and Dad became so embarrassing, it probably happened somewhere around age 7.
"Children generally become self-conscious toward their parents in the latency years — age 7 to 9 — which is also when they start to retreat psychologically," Fran Walfish, PsyD., a Beverly Hills based psychotherapist, tells Yahoo Parenting. "During the early childhood years (until age 6), children learn to self-soothe, master speech and language, body functions ,and learn self-reliance. But around age 7, they acknowledge who their parents are — for better or worse — and the large role they play in their lives." Enter the teenage years, when kids strive to differentiate themselves as individuals (often through bad music, skipping curfew, or otherwise-rebellious behavior) and form a solid identity, which can conflict with how they were raised.

Even celebrity parents who, while iconic to us, can be downright mortifying in their children's eyes. On Tuesday, Madonna told the Today show that her 18-year-old daughter Lourdes was "horrified" by her 56-year-old mom's provocative songs ("She just wants me to be her mom," explained Madonna). The superstar added that she isn't even allowed to attend football games at the University of Michigan, her daughter's college and Madge's own alma mater. "You think my daughter wants me at a game?" Madonna asked. David Beckham also told a British talk show host that his 15-year-old son Brooklyn begs his dad to drop him at school one block away due to Beckham's ritual of shouting "I love you" out the window to his son. And after Lenny Kravitz's risqué Super Bowl performance with Katy Perry in February, Kravitz's 26-year-old daughter Zoe created a meme composed of her father's performance alongside a screen shot of herself with a terrified expression on her face. "Dad?" Kravitz jokingly captioned the photo.
STORY: Dad Gives 11-Year-Old Daughter Very Public Lesson In Acting Her Age
The root of all this shame: A child's inability to identify as separate than his or her parents. "Parents are embarrassing to kids because everything a parent does is a reflection on the child," says Walfish.
Granted, some parents strive to embarrass their children — Dale Price, a father-of-three in Utah, made headlines for wearing outrageous outfits (Wonder Woman, Raggedy Andy, the Little Mermaid, Michael Jackson) and waving to his 15-year-old son Rain as the teen boarded the school bus each morning. Price chronicled his morning routine in a blog called Wave at the Bus, which Rain called "horrifying." And another father (also in Utah, oddly), frustrated by his daughter's skimpy outfits, decided to teach her a lesson about modesty by cutting a pair of his jeans into short-shorts and forcing to her to accompany him on a family night of miniature golf.
STORY: Kim Kardashian's Motherhood Tweet Sparks Controversy
Extreme examples? Yes, but even well-intentioned parents can accidentally embarrass their children. "For example, a 7-year-old boy who is becoming aware of his sexual feelings might suddenly dislike being kissed by his mother," says Walfish. Family dynamics can also play a role. If a parent constantly dotes on a child who happens to be an introvert, the hyper attention could cause him or her to retreat.
The good news: Most kids outgrow that shameful feeling toward their parents when they enter adulthood or become parents themselves. When my son was born, my husband and I excitedly tattooed his name on our inner wrists. The gesture is meaningful to us but in hindsight, I wouldn't blame my kid for buying me gloves every Christmas. We'll wait and see.

AMEA Legal 1.17 update: issue invoices from multiple legal entities
Advocates working at Limited Liability Partnerships (LLP) are often acting under separate legal entities. They work together on legal matters, plan time, but issue invoices and do accounting separately. From now on AMEA Legal allows to create separate legal entity for each advocate and issue invoices from selected legal entity. While issuing invoices, individual invoice numbering and other settings are applied.

Nursing Graduate Publishes Article
Prairie View A&M University alumnus Michael Prejean, BSN, RN, published an article in the international journal Annals of Emergency Medicine. According to Prejean, the article entitled 'Adverse Effects of Immune Checkpoint Therapy in Cancer Patients Visiting the Emergency Department of a Comprehensive Cancer Center' aims to fill the knowledge gap related to the spectrum of immune-related adverse effects among cancer patients visiting emergency departments.
"When I graduated from PVAMU in 2016, my first offer came from the MD Anderson Emergency Department. I conducted research, and one of the ER physicians, Dr. Sai-Ching Yeung, took me under his wing and guided me through the entire research collection," said Prejean.

1136 N. Milwaukee Ave.
B A C K L I T seeks to invite the recombination of word and image from translocal communities of conversants on diverse e-list servers, Facebook, and Twitter. Members of list‐servers are asked to send both an image and a text of no more than 140 characters to performer, and to do so in response to thought processes/actions given rise to by the phrase "Remediating the Social". The performer will recombine those elements. The piece itself is simple, complexity will be generated by the volume of submissions.
cris cheek is a British poet, artist, interdisciplinary performer and professor at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Born in London in 1955, he lived and worked in that capital until the early 1990s. One early influence was working alongside Bob Cobbing at the Poetry Society printshop and the Writers Forum group of poets who met with regularity on the premises in Earls Court. In 1981 he was a co-founder of Chisenhale Dance Space and for much of that decade he worked alongside musicians from the London Musicians Collective, choreographers and live artists to make interdisciplinary works. Between 1994-2005 he was based in the most easterly English town of Lowestoft, before emigrating to the United States. His musical collaborations include Slant (a trio with Phillip Jeck and Sianed Jones). A large body of interdisciplinary performance writing was produced in collaboration with Kirsten Lavers under the author function Things Not Worth Keeping. He taught on the Performance Writing course (1995-2002) at Dartington College of Arts where he was a Research Fellow in interdisciplinary text (2000-2002). He lives on the plateau of the southwest Ohio River Valley, with his son. (Source: Wikipedia.)

If the Manchester United hierarchy thought that bringing in high-profile figures was the answer to the clubs problems they were sorely mistaken.
The Red Devils were once again frustrated in the Premier League on Saturday as Burnley came to Old Trafford and left with a goalless draw.
The goalless score-line was mainly due to former-United 'keeper Tom Heaton's brilliance. However, United had 37 shots on goal. Poor finishing also played a big part in blank scoreline.
Superstars do not solve every problem
For decades Sir Alex Ferguson made managing Manchester United look easy. He built and dismantled many a winning team. The veteran Scot even jettisoned some big names. But kept on winning trophies. His teams were not always built on big name players. In fact, when he retired in 2013 the Red Devils had very few star players still at the club.
Subsequently, successor David Moyes struggled and Louis van Gaal underachieved. Despite the latter trying to throw money at the situation. Not learning from their mistakes this summer United again went stargazing.
The Red Devils hired star boss Jose Mourinho. Then veteran Swedish Zlatan Ibrahimovic arrived on a free transfer. They then decided to bring in French midfielder Paul Pogba for a world-record fee.
Early signs suggest that the moves may not help United bring back the glory days. Ibrahimovic and Pogba are good players. They would improve most teams when on form of course.
Ibrahimovic has been struggling of late for the Red Devils. While Pogba still looks to be getting re-accustomed to the English game.
It seemed United believed that signing the pair would make it appear like the Red Devils they were big time again. Unfortunately for United, their signings only papered over the cracks in their team elsewhere.
What has happened to Mourinho?
United Mourinho seems to have some sort of personality transplant. During his winning-days at Chelsea he was a big character. He was controversial, entertaining and loved to play mind games. Love him or loathe him he always brought an edge to football.
The Portuguese boss seems like a more restrained character since arriving at Old Trafford. Question marks were raised by certain United legends about his controversial behaviour prior to his appointment as United boss.
Possibly for the first time in his managerial career he is actually restraining himself. Maybe he is playing down his personality. The fiery Mourinho is still in there, as was proven by the fact he was sent to the stands against Burnley on Saturday.
Mourinho appears to be a shadow of his former-self. The problem for Mourinho is that his former persona was probably the key to him being so successful earlier in his career.
United did not hire him to be restrained. They hired him on the strength of his silverware collection. That silverware was achieved by being a controversial and fiery boss. Mourinho needs to change something or his career as Manchester United boss will not be a successful or long one.
Top-four a priority this season
The appointment of Mourinho as Manchester United boss was supposed to solve all the Red Devils problems. However, it was highly optimistic that United would go from finishing fifth in the table to becoming champions.
The Red Devils are currently eighth in the Premier League table, eight points behind arch-rivals and league leaders Manchester City. United's current position leaves them as very much outsiders for the title at odds of 25/1.
Those odds are a far cry to the start of the season when they were regarded as one of the favourites to win the title this season. The Red Devils' priority this season has to be finishing in the top-four. In itself that could be very difficult.
If anybody thought that just hiring Mourinho and signing big name stars would take United back to the glory days then they must have been naïve. The Premier League is getting more and more competitive every season. Even finishing in the top-four is highly difficult.
United discovering past glories make take longer than expected. The Red Devils team is still in major need of rebuilding. Whether Mourinho still has it in him to turn things around at United remains to be seen.
Are Manchester United genuine title contenders?

In light of the recent decision by the Supreme Court of the United States, many Christians have become rightly concerned regarding what the future holds. We discussed some of these matters in a recent sermon "We Serve Another King, Jesus" which can be heard HERE.
The Gospel Coalition and the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) have compiled "50 Resourses Equipping the Church on Homosexuality and Same Sex Marriage." These include many good articles including talking to your children on these issues, 40 questions for Christians now waving rainbow flags, and the ever so often asked, do you want to be on the wrong side of history? - just to name a few!
I would encourage you to take some time and browse these articles and resources and take some time to read up on some aspects of this that may be most helpful to you.

I'm not going to stop watching Supernatural. Yes, there's plenty of misogyny, double standards, pointless plot trends, and other annoyances to go around. Yes, this season has me shouting at Dean during every scene—and though I hope it's an intentional plot device, I am pretty sure it's just same old, same old.
Let's recap, shall we? Sam wanted out of the family business from episode one, yet Dean sort of bullied him back into it, spanning multiple seasons of Sam yearning for a non-hunting life while Dean insisted it was their duty. And when Dean died and went to hell, Sam not only kept hunting—he also tried to rescue Dean to no avail.
Then, when Sam went to hell—in a much worse way than Dean, mind you—Dean moved on. He lived with Lisa for a year, being a father to Ben and pretty much living in paradise. Even though Sam returned—and was even soulless—he tried to leave Dean alone to live his dream.
Now, however, Sam tried to do the same out of loneliness while Dean was in purgatory—and Dean came home furious that he dared to do such a thing! Dean Winchester can do no wrong, and god forbid Sammy try to have a life of his own.
And remember when everyone freaked out when Sam hit his low and opened the gates of Hell by killing Lilith—and before that, screwing that awful demon Ruby? It was perfectly okay that Dean started these events in motion by torturing who knows how many people in Hell, but we must condemn Sam for undoing the final seal when he was trying to do the opposite.
I am so tired of this crap. Dean killed a monster woman who rescued Sam last season in cold blood after she killed to feed her children, but now it's perfectly fine for Dean to pair up with a bloodsucking vampire. Dean Winchester is a jerkface and I'm sick of him. I don't care how pretty this boy is; I don't want to watch him anymore.
I do want to watch Sam, though, even though I'm growing tired of his flashbacks. I hope this season is their last. I used to truly love this show, but it's gotten ridiculous—even boring—and tiresome. Let's find the prophet, send all the demons to hell or wherever, and end this whole thing before it gets too painful to watch and my eyes start bleeding.

Don't be a Brand who never gets Feedback from Customers in stores
In today's fast-paced world with ever-increasing technological advancements, more and more startups are gravitating towards retails and setting up physical stores in order to reach more customers. According to a TimeTrade study, more than 85% of buyers prefer the brick-and-mortar model over eCommerce, as it allows them to touch and feel the products before making a purchase.
In order to successfully navigate this brand-new chapter of in-store shopping, understanding the wants and needs of your customers through reliable streams of data helps you identify the areas of improvement. Measuring and managing customer feedback in physical stores should be approached with the same candor and care as your other key performance indicators (KPIs) like profitability and revenue.
A Capgemini Consulting report found that 40% of customers found in-store shopping a challenging experience, with reasons ranging from lack of inventory to poor shopper support. The customer journey is always evolving to accommodate more touch points, with the customers treating multiple channels as shortstops on their way to making a purchase. As a brand owner, you're missing out on the valuable opportunity to attract prospective buyers who interact with your brand at the store without buying anything, if you are not collecting customer data and measuring experiences on every step of their journey.
60% of customers in a Cognizant study revealed that they'd be open to taking a short survey or questionnaire in-store, to denote their personal preferences, previous purchases, and products of interest, however, only 39% of retailers have actually approached them for feedback.
With a customer-first outlook, you'd not only be able to optimize both operational excellence and customer experience but also close the significant gap between what the customers want and what you have to offer. Coming from eCommerce, most retailers and brands tend to focus more on keeping up with the digital trends or staying ahead of their competition instead of engaging with their customers. The obvious question of, 'What do customers want?' takes the back burner, in comparison to, 'What do I, as a retailer and a brand, want to provide?'
So, how does one go about collecting customer feedback in physical stores? Setting up 'survey kiosks' is one way to go about it, where you install a touchscreen device with appropriate signage for customers to answer feedback questions on. When placed at right locations, a survey kiosk helps you engage with buyers and non-buyers with just a few taps. You can offer a coupon or a free sample to people who complete the survey to incentivize the process.
With 2.1 billion smartphone users worldwide, the idea of a paperless kiosk equipped with an electronic device sounds better than the traditional feedback form and a pen. To simplify the survey kiosks, some retailers also prefer setting up happy-or-not booths, where the customers can push big, shiny (and more attractive!) emoji buttons to indicate how they feel about their in-store experience.
The bottom-line is that listening to people who buy from you and the ones that don't is a business imperative if you want to survive in the uber-competitive retail industry.
Solution Bar (Retail As A Service) initiative makes it easy for Brands to collect customer feedback after every demo. Brands improve their product features, price, messaging to help more customers discover them

Try to reflash the eMMC with the latest amstrong image or boot from an amtrong image from micero SDCaqrd. in My case the BBB rev c i received had Debian installed in the eMMC instead of the default Amstrong. Check the ID.txt file to confirm, it is located in the usb removable device (e.g F:) that represent the BBB when connected to a computer. Debian does not have gateOne SSH or Avahi/ bonjour enabled by default.
No public wish lists :(

Disney's Riviera Resort Information: Rooms, Pools, Dining, and More
Opening December 16, 2019, Disney's Riviera Resort is the next Disney Vacation Club resort at Walt Disney World. The Riviera, with approximately 300 guest rooms, is currently under construction adjacent to Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort.
While details are sparse, we're expecting the Riviera to be configured somewhat like Bay Lake Tower, with a similar high rise feel. While Bay Lake has a top floor bar with Magic Kingdom fireworks views, Riviera will have a rooftop restaurant that will offer views of fireworks at Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios.
As for the theme of the new Riviera hotel, it's hard to tell due to only a few pieces of concept art being released as of this time. We expect guest rooms to be similar in appearance to recently renovated rooms at Disney's Pop Century Resort and Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort.
Riviera is a Disney Vacation Club (DVC) resort, with apartment-like accommodations rather than traditional hotel rooms. It features a mix of Tower Studio, Deluxe Studio, 1-Bedroom, 2-Bedroom, and 3-Bedroom "villas." Deluxe Studio villas look much like regular hotel rooms, but with one Queen bed and a fold-down Murphy bed and the addition of a small kitchenette featuring an extra sink, microwave oven, and toaster. The 1, 2, and 3 bedroom villas all include a full size kitchen with a larger refrigerator, microwave oven, standard oven, cooktop, a laundry washer and dryer, dishwasher, and a supply of cookware and dishware. Making real meals is certainly possible in a DVC full kitchen.
The Tower Studio rooms are a new type of accommodation, introduced at Riviera. These smaller rooms are designed for two, which is how many they sleep. They still include balconies but they are more compact and intimate (meaning smaller).
One-bedroom and 2-bedroom DVC units have a living-room area with pull-down sleeping surfaces and a bedroom or bedrooms with regular beds. There is at least full bathroom for every bedroom with a shower and a soaking tub. The 3-bedroom Grand Villa units include all of the above, plus an additional bedroom and bathroom, as well as other amenities like an expanded living room or a dining room. The Grand Villa can sleep up to 12.
Disney's Riviera Resort will have easy access to Walt Disney World's upcoming Skyliner gondola transportation system, which will take guests to and from the Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios theme parks. With its own Skyliner station, the Riviera will also have easy access to Caribbean Beach, Pop Century, and Art of Animation. Walt Disney World bus transportation to the remaining theme parks, two water parks, and Disney Springs will also be available.
The showpiece restaurant is Topolino's Terrace - Flavors of the Riviera perched on the roof of the Riviera tower with amazing views of both Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Other dining options include the Primo Piatto quick service, Le Petit Cafe coffee and wine bar, and Bar Riva at the pool.
Other Amenities
Riviera contains three pool areas. The feature pool sits between the building and the lagoon, with S'il Vous Play, the child play area, adjacent to it. Nearby is the quiet pool, called Beau Soleil. There is also a fitness center available for resort guests.

About the Director
LaVonda is a native of Greenville, South Carolina and holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology from Johnson C. Smith University. LaVonda has a daughter named Michaela Bowman who is the joy of her life. LaVonda has over 20 years of experience working with children in Charlotte, North Carolina and Greenville, South Carolina. Past experiences working as an After School Coordinator inspired LaVonda's decision to become an active provider in the childcare industry. During her early childcare ventures, she found children were entering public school without the essential tools to succeed in the most impressive years. Early Childcare facilities were not providing the children with the basic cognitive skills needed to meet the state's standard requirement before entering the public school system. Therefore, they were being retained in kindergarten. Furthermore, children entering middle and high schools were being promoted with little knowledge of the concept, 'Reading is Fundamental', or not affluent in reading and were struggling with their educational experiences. These findings were very disturbing to her. Therefore she acquired the necessary credentials to own and operate her own childcare facility that would assist in preparing children for primary, secondary, and post-secondary education.
Small Impressions Child Development Center opened on May 8, 2006. The Centers mission is to educate, motivate, and accelerate children to a higher standard of learning by exposing and engaging them in age- appropriate experiences that will assist with shaping who they are and who they will become as an adult.
Since its inception, members of the community have applauded the Center for the work they have accomplished with the children that are enrolled. Small Impressions success is contributed to LaVonda's concept of 'empowering the whole family' with the tools needed to succeed in a challenging and spiraling economic and educational society.

Statement by Ambassador Karen Pierce, UK Permanent Representative to the UN, at the Security Council briefing on the Democratic Republic of Congo
Thank you, Mr President.
The fact that we've been fortunate enough to have so many briefers today testifies to the importance of this issue. I'd like to thank them. I'd like to thank the Minister and the SRSG in particular for being with us.
I'd like to make five brief points if I may, Mr President.
I think the first point, as many speakers have said, is this is a critical moment in DRC's history precisely because of the prospect of the peaceful transfer of power, so there's a lot at stake. Mr President, this is a historic chance for the DRC's people.
The second point is that the most important thing is that the democratic will of the Congolese people is respected. As others have noted, these are provisional results, so there is a chance for the Congolese people to have the result they voted for. To that end, it's critical, Mr President, that data and methodology of voting must be examined. We have noted the CENCO statement that their data does not reflect the announced result and we therefore request both CENCO and CENI to give further data and other analysis in the electoral process and we, like others, would like to know if it is possible for CENI to publish results at the level of local polling centres and bureaux de vote. We think that's a very important next step, Mr President.
My third point is that as we know the electoral process is ongoing, so it's important in the coming days that the Congolese people see a process that delivers what they voted for and that any disagreement is done through the proper channels and is done peacefully and constructively.
My fourth point, Mr President, is to echo calls for the lifting of media restrictions, including as regards the internet.
And my fifth point, Mr President, and my last point is to support the African Union call for all stakeholders to act in a way that consolidates democracy and preserves peace and for violence to cease.
Thank you very much Mr President.

The first right-wing extremist charged under commonwealth terror laws suffers from hallucinations, a Melbourne court has been told.
Phillip Michael Galea on Tuesday asked a magistrate if he could get his ears checked because they'd been ringing since Saturday when a sound bomb went off during his arrest.
A bearded Galea appeared in the Melbourne Magistrates' Court via video-link wearing a white t-shirt.
He sat quietly throughout the hearing with his hands clasped.
The court heard large amounts of electronic material and phone calls will be used as evidence against the 31-year-old, who is charged with collecting or making documents to prepare for terrorist acts between mid-November 2015 and early August 2016.
He is also charged with doing acts in preparation for a terrorist act between mid-September 2015 and early August.
The Victorian Joint Counter Terrorism Team swooped on four properties, including Galea's Braybrook home, on Saturday.
Defence barrister Allan McMonnies on Tuesday complained he had only a "very vague" summary of the case. He criticised prosecutors' request for additional time to prepare their brief of evidence.
Mr McMonnies said Galea suffered from auditory and visual hallucinations and required stitches for a leg injury sustained during his arrest, when a flashbomb was hurled through a window.
Commonwealth prosecutor Judy King said the delay in preparing the case was due to the "sheer volume" of material to be examined.
"Some of the phone calls are lengthy - for example one call is three hours in length," she said.
Prosecutors will oppose any bail bid.
Galea has been linked to anti-Islam groups and on social media has posted support for the True Blue Crew, the United Patriots Front and Reclaim Australia.
During a brief appearance in court on Sunday the 31-year-old declared the charges were part of a conspiracy against the so-called patriot movement.
Magistrate Luisa Bazzani agreed to a limited extension for the prosecution to prepare its evidence and ordered that Galea's medical needs be attended to.
Galea was remanded in custody to reappear on October 31.

Royal Neighbors Summarized View:
In 1895, Nine women founded Royal Neighbors of America with the desire to empower women in society. In the late 1800s women could not vote, could not own property and could not own a life insurance policy. Royal Neighbors of America was chartered as a fraternal benefit society on March 21, 1895 in Peoria, Illinois. Its charter dictates that Royal Neighbors and its members should give back to their communities.
Since that time, Royal Neighbors of America and its 200,000 members has grown to be a major force in the life insurance industry. Over $850 million in assets and total life insurance in force of more than $2.6 billion. Its charter and mission have not changed at all. Royal Neighbors of America is still here to give back to the community at large.
Royal Neighbors of America is a fraternal beneficiary society. It is a non-profit, mutual aid group that operates over 300 active chapters, called lodges, accross the country.
Throughout its history, Royal Neighbors of America has been about empowering women. The women's suffrage movement was, in fact, spearheaded by Royal Neighbors of America.
In the last decade, Royal Neighbors of America has evolved into a cutting edge life insurer. Using the best technology to provide superior benefits and superior service. Accolades in the life insurance industry are common place as per Royal Neighbors of America being the first to implement best-in-class technological practices.
Royal Neighbors of America:
Royal Neighbors Bullet Points:
Royal Neighbors Product Overview:
Royal Neighbors of America is a competitive and convenient to use life insurance carrier. The process for the Final Expense application is like no other because Royal Neighbors offer a point of sale underwriting decision and a paperless face to face application process. There are only six 'knockout' questions with two that can be answered yes to apply for its Graded Benefit and they do not ask for height/weight so one cannot be declined for weighing too much or too little.
There is prescription list they created which will show you how they come to a decision when reviewing the prescription medications an applicant might be taking, they call it 'common sense' underwriting, you will find this at the bottom of the agent guide attached.
Royal Neighbors has very competitive rates with their Simplified Issue Whole Life, Traditional Whole Life, Simplified Issue Term Life & Single Premium Whole Life. The Final Expense SIWL rate for a 65 year old female with a $10,000 face amount is $44.63 for the Immediate Issue Benefit and if they cannot qualify for a preferred rate it is only $63.36 for the Graded Benefit Option. The Graded option is unique because it is a true Graded benefit with 30% of the death benefit available in the first year if a claim is filed and 70% available in the 2nd year.
