Last night I was lucky to snatch some PWYC (pay-what-you-can) tickets for Central Works' world premiere of Hearts of Palm, penned by their resident playwright, Patricia Milton, and directed by Gary Graves.
Set on the fictitious island nation of Marititu, the play addresses both the consequences of corporate colonialism and having a one-night stand with a colleague, but it does so without getting preachy. I was intrigued when I read the synopsis online (the strikeouts are theirs):
A small Southeast Asian island is
invadedvisited by a gang of land grabbersa team of corporate negotiators intent on expanding a palm oil plantation. When a company rep goes rogue and joins the local rebel resistance, Viola Wells takes charge as Lead Negotiator. While fending off the unwanted advances of a corporate teammate, "Vi" must come to terms with the true nature of her employer: multi-national conglomerate, Empire Holdings, Ltd.
Milton was inspired by the Girl Scouts. When GSA discovered the shady business practices most often used to obtain palm oil, the girls in green campaigned to get rid of it in their famous cookies.
Many of the humorous lines in the play are delivered by Central Works regular John Patrick Moore as Strap, the none-too-bright unrequited lover, and the company's co-director Jan Zvaifler as Helen, the trigger happy, Red Bull-fueled ex-marine. I greatly enjoyed Michelle Talgarow's character as well. Her solemn demeanor as the local government official contrasted well with the absurdity of the situation. And kudos to Erin Mei-Ling Stuart who stepped into the role of Brittany when the originally cast Rinabeth Apostol had to bow out for personal reasons.
I really appreciate theater that tackles a serious subject with wit and humor. I mean, you might as well have some fun while you're learning something, right?
Hearts of Palm is playing at the Berkeley City Club on Thursdays through Sundays until August 14. (And Thursdays are PWYC.)

So our kid (not-so-kid) brothers Travis and Matt are off at school.
(Sniff, tear) Where has the time gone?
My brother Matt began school yesterday at UFV. He is the first class of future plumbers to be at the new trades school in Chilliwack. He will be studying five days a week for one year, then begins his appreticeship, all working towards being a journeyman. Way to go Matt - we are so happy for you.
Travis is in his THIRD year (wow) and is doing this semester abroad. He is studying History at a university in England. He is keeping his mom, grandma, aunties and sister-in-law happy by keeping up this blog. We are also happy for you Trav and think this is a cool opportunity for you to study!
This is where Travis is taking his classes -

Prevention of diabetes in Bangladeshis in East London: experiences and views of young people
on what diabetes was and, although not all information was accurate, all participants had heard of diabetes and most connected it with healthy living. Diabetes was most often described as having to do with "sugar levels" and "eating too much sugar." While fats and other unhealthy foods were described as the causes, the primary emphasis was on sugar. School biology classes were where they gained the basic knowledge of diabetes. They were quick to stress the limits to what schools taught them about diabetes, suggesting that schools focused more on the biological
Citrate: How to get started and what, when, and how to monitor?
in 1948. The simplified equation, composed of CO 2 , anion charge of albumin, and anion charge of phosphate, is mostly used. Leblanc stressed the increment in SIDm in patients on CRRT or in patients with chronic renal failure during an intermittent HD session. On the other hand, other studies demonstrated a slight but significant decrease in SIDm (from 46.2 to 45 mEq/L) during the HD session. This is in apparent contradiction to the expected increase in pH and bicarbonate concentration and base excess due to the alkalinizing effect of CRRT or HD. These findings

With around 64 percent of the population or more than 600 million people lacking access to electricity, Africa is in great need of sustainable energy solutions. Many countries have launched initiatives in order to increase the number of generated megawatts and electricity connections in Africa. Sweden´s partnership with the "Power Africa" initiative is one example of this. Other European countries have either joined this initiative and/or created their own programmes.
Many Swedish energy companies have voiced the need for increased Governmental support in order to strengthen their position in Sub-Saharan Africa. Swedish companies need support in gaining information & access to decision makers, and leverage on a strong position and a broad commitment within Power Africa"The Swedish Energy for Africa programme is designed to meet this need and complement Sweden´s Power Africa partnership. It is run by Business Sweden, supported by government agencies, finance institutions and other promotional organisations (i.e. "Team Sweden").
This is a long term membership program that facilitates for Swedish companies to do business within the energy sector in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).Through a Team Sweden approach, there is targeted support to key projects but widened focus where buyers are relevant for a larger company base.
Business Sweden carried out a study to identify some of the major business opportunities for Swedish companies in Sub-Saharan Africa. Based on this study and our existing networks, the programme will initially focus primarily on Southern Africa (South Africa, Zambia, Botswana and Mozambique); East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Ethiopia) and West Africa (Nigeria). Other countries may be included on a case by case basis.
By joining the programme, your company will get access to information on focused markets, upcoming tenders as well as local and regional networks. You will also be invited to seminars, workshops and delegations. All these activities are aimed at strengthening your position in the sub-Saharan region and your relationships with Power Africa representatives, financiers, utilities, independent power producers and regulators that will bring your company closer to winning business deals.
Joining the programme and accessing the support included is free of charge. This also includes participation in chosen events, though limitation to the number of participants for each event will apply. There will also be a possibility to add on extra services from Business Sweden.
During 2016, various activities were carried out to scope business opportunities in SSA. These include participation in seminars, meetings and delegations:
Going forward and applying a more focussed approach, activities on the programme will include:
HOW LONG WILL THE PROGRAMME RUN?The programme will initially run for 2 years, starting in 2016, after which the results will be evaluated. If proved successful it will be extended.
HOW DO I APPLY TO JOIN?The Energy for Africa programme is open to companies and organisations with a serious interest in establishing and expanding their business in Africa. There is no limit on size or turnover. It is also possible for different divisions or subsidiaries of a company to join. Business Sweden however reserves the right to decide which companies to accept into the programme.
If you are interested in joining the programme, please complete the online registration process at the following link: Registration
You will thereafter be contacted by a Business Sweden Senior Energy Advisor to discuss your company´s goals, prioritised markets, activity interest and expectations of the programme.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONPlease join the Swedish Energy for Africa LinkedIn group for the latest news, updates, success cases, and where most of the "active" content is presented

Lyric of the Day: 周杰伦, 徐若瑄 (Zhou Jie Lun, Xu Ruo Xuan)
愛像一陣風 / love is like a gust of wind
吹完它就走 / as soon as it blows, it goes
這樣的節奏 / this kind of rhythm
誰都無可奈何 / would leave anyone helpless
-Jay Chou, 龍卷風 (Tornado, Long Juan Feng)
Finally, something from the first album! Wow, this was released over a decade ago in 2000, the year after the Backstreet Boys' Millenium album. As seen in the MV, Jay was so young and so thin! He also happened to have a perm and wore baseball caps all the time.
Before he became the biggest unprecedented thing in Mandopop, Jay Chou was a poor boy who slept on the couches of the studios where he did his songwriting. Gathering his castoff songs and convincing the company to let him sing them himself, then release the album, Jay managed to capture the hearts of his audience with his musical quirks – emotional vocals and mumbly singing style. They probably go hand in hand.
Anyway, I think those "signature" traits have lessened over time, even if my mother would disagree (she still doesn't understand a word he says and argues that he can't sing worth a dime). Whatever. Let me watch this wonderfully low-budget MV and reminisce.

After the sequel-bait disaster that was the final season of Game of Thrones, the HBO mini-series Chernobyl is a 5-episode tour de force that reminds us of some things that we may have forgotten. Or never learned in the first place.
Chernobyl is not this.
It's not even this.
Chernobyl is Orwell's 1984 come to life and a serious reminder of what happens when politics comes before truth.
The lesson is stark. We owe it to ourselves to return to reality. Now is the time, before we MAGA ourselves into a worse disaster.
The Chernobyl president - The Boston Globe — It's not just Trump's ability to explode and contaminate everything in his vicinity. It's the mendacity that fills his lungs.
Fortunately, there are people who insist on telling the truth. After you watch the show, go through this imgur post. Over 100 images and a wealth of information.
The Chernobyl Story [Updated & Expanded] — I've assembled this collection of images surrounding the Chernobyl nuclear disaster to help people gain a better understanding of what happened. It is a very brief, but complete(ish) retelling of what happened, using edited text from a book I've written called "Chernobyl 01:23:40". The book can be bought from Amazon, if anyone's interested.
Sometimes you feel like a duck. Sometimes you don't.

The 2004 Boston Red Sox were more than just self-proclaimed "idiots." They were downright crazy.
Pedro Martinez has been sharing hilarious stories about his former teammates while promoting his new book, "Pedro," and no one seems wackier than Manny Ramirez. Martinez appeared on "The Late Show" with Seth Meyers on Tuesday and told a story in which Ramirez doctored alcohol shots with Viagra.
It's well-known, of course, that the 2004 Red Sox supposedly took mini shots before games amid their historic ALCS comeback against the New York Yankees. But according to Martinez, Ramirez took things to another level by adding some extra spice. The slugger then called upon Ellis Burks, who was 40 years old and not on Boston's roster at the time, to serve as the club's taste tester.
The result? Hilarity.

Biggest Royal Moments of 2018
2 Weddings, Babies, and a Big Birthday: The Royal Family's Exciting 2018
2 Weddings, Babies, and a Big Birthday: The Royal Family's Exciting 2018
Sure, everything you hear about the British royals right now centres on Harry and Meghan's reported feud with William and Kate, but before all the drama unfolded, the family had a lot to celebrate. They kicked off the year with the arrival of the newest heir, Prince Louis, then threw a grand wedding for Harry and Meghan. But the excitement didn't stop there — the Brits had another wedding, more baby news, and countless engagements. Plus, the entire year was highlighted by the addition of the Duchess of Sussex, who hit so many exciting milestones in her first 12 months as a royal. Read on for more major royal moments (and forget the feud!).

Enjoy a beautiful sunny day, discover the fantastic beaches, stroll along its historic center or Riverside area, visit the Douro cellars or simply enjoy the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Porto. This apartment stays, undoubtedly, in one of the trendiest areas of the city.

Join our mailing list to receive regular updates from Headlong.
What is the desired effect on the audience? How do you want them to feel after they've watched the show?
A deeper understanding of the human condition and an empathy for who the characters are and what their situation is. An understanding of how we tick and why we do certain things. Ultimately, our goal is to create something which impacts an audience in new and exciting ways. We want people to feel something pure but also to ask questions about family, America, loss and popular culture. Those are all things that we are interested in and that we've been exploring; on one hand, we're exploring something really beautiful, but we're also keen to ask big questions about how we live now.
"This is mostly forgotten when talking about the play, but it was so far ahead of its time in terms of its formal innovation. What I think is often missing in productions though is the sheer theatricality of it."
How are Williams stage directions going to be treated?
I'd say…hmm…how should I word this? With a pinch of salt! We're not sticking to them stringently. There are a lot of stage directions but we don't feel beholden to Williams' stage directions of miming food; we can imagine that collectively as an audience, so it's not 100% necessary.
Why do you think this play is still relevant?
Because it's set in America when there was a really deep depression and people were facing hardship, struggling to make ends meet. In tough times, we have to come together as families and communities to try and understand one another better, and the play asks questions about this situation. There is a real struggle to connect with each other. We all come across hardship and difficulty and some of us will struggle to cope. That's never going to change really. We need to reach out and hold each other in these sort of circumstances. The Glass Menagerie paints a beautiful portrait of what family means, and about how we cope - or struggle to cope - with loss.
What do you this is really great about the play?
This is mostly forgotten when talking about the play, but it was so far ahead of its time in terms of its formal innovation. What I think is often missing in productions though is the sheer theatricality of it. Tennessee Williams himself says that it shouldn't be in a realistic world. It states that in the stage directions and that really allows us to open it up universally.
Are you using the N word?
No, we've changed it to houseboy.
Do you think it is about vulnerable people? How society deals with them?
I don't think it's necessarily about vulnerability. These characters are far stronger than meets the eye. There is so much strength within them and they have an extraordinary ability to cope and to deal with what has happened to them.
As far as you and Ellen are concerned, who's the protagonist? Who do you think is the lead?
I don't really think there is one. The first thing we see is Tom talking to us, so essentially we go backwards and forwards in time throughout the play. But though Tom tells us the story, it is as much Amanda's, Laura's and Jim's as it is his. They're all telling their own stories. There is not really one character who is onstage any more than the other.
Do you think that makes it trickier?
I think it's a gift actually! It's not like Hamlet where you have to work everyone else around that character. There's a real sense that everyone is in ownership of the narrative, the characters and the situation – it's not any one person's in particular. Which is rare.
How are you going to help the actors become familiar with their characters? Are there any special exercises?
It's not so much that there are any exercises, it's more that we're giving them material to think about and work with. For example, today we put up real life pictures of places that are mentioned in the script. That gives a really clear picture of what this world is.

- Follow this step-by-step guide at your own pace and get yourself in the frontline of the Orchestrator world
Who This Book Is For
This book is targeted for those who want to gain time in their administrative tasks and profit from it to improve also their environment by reaching a more autonomous infrastructure. Experience with other System Center family products as well as Active Directory and other core datacentre components would be useful to help you understand and execute the information given in this book.

- Familiarize yourself with the Runbook design and its implementation with an insight into the methodology for a more dynamic Datacenter
In Detail
With the increasing complexity of systems in our infrastructure designs, administrating these systems has become more complex and repetitive. This ultimately translates into an inefficient environment and loss of time. System Center Orchestrator 2012 R2 is the tool that can help you regain that time again, by simplifying repetitive tasks (or complex ones) into a simple one that will require minimum intervention from you, or even none.
This technology will drive you one step forward towards a more dynamic infrastructure and can also be used to make a customized Private Cloud environment setup.
Starting off with the fundamentals of Orchestrator, this book helps you to learn the configuration and deployment of the Orchestrator 2012 R2 in a corporate environment to successfully deploy and mitigate real-life issues that you might encounter. You'll learn the most used part of Orchestrator, the Runbook Designer, with all its components and mechanisms to help you efficiently design and implement your Runbooks from top to bottom. Additionally, you will also get familiarized with configuring key Integration Packs available for Orchestrator to extend its functionality and enhance the automation solution.
Furthermore, you will explore the possibilities of extending and integrating Orchestrator with other parties and learn to set up core infrastructure administrative tasks that can save time and effort when automated with Orchestrator. You finally round off by gaining insights on the maintenance aspects of Orchestrator, while simultaneously covering the troubleshooting, backup, and recovery features.
Style and approach
Written in a step-by-step guide format, the chapters are organized in a sequence of what you need to know first to move on to the next component. Each chapter contains a broad explanation of what we are working on at that moment and the tips provided are based on real-world experience.

Tue Oct 16th, 2018
When brown-red leaves dance in autumn wind
and the cries of crickets no longer sing,
heart grows sterner, appetite increases,
wanton thoughts rage before the coming freeze.
Heavy rain warns of blankety-blank snow.
Then levity strikes like lightning forking:
there is something comic about four seasons,
scene of fluctuating foliage,
sense of major obstacles subdued, nailed.
Fire in the wood-stove or fireplace
resembles fire in the mind and heart.
Roil of constant changes creates adept
adaptation to evolving concepts.
Living at extremes demands un-caged art.

Halloween Jack
Get ready to have a terrifyingly good slot game experience as you spin the reels of the incredible new game from NetEnt Halloween Jack! There is no better game to play this Halloween with lots of spooky symbols featured on your 5 reels, 3 rows, and 20 fixed paylines, as well as a very scary backdrop. Give it a go today from as little as 20p per spin up to £100 per spin.
More About the Manufacturer
NetEnt is the manufacturer behind the Halloween Jack slot game and players will already know that this is a game to check out. This manufacturer launched over twenty years ago, and since then they have been providing some of the online casino world's most popular content.
Appearance and Sound Effects
Halloween Jack has a scarily good theme and is the perfect game to enjoy this Halloween. The dark and gloomy background lit up with pumpkins sets the scene perfectly, and on the reels, this theme continues with lots of spooky symbols. This includes a very scary lady, a horseshoe, a big crow, a bat and a demon horse. These are your high-value symbols while the playing card symbols are your lower value ones.
Players will want to watch out for the glowing pumpkin as this is your game's wild symbol. It will replace other symbols on your reels to help form new winning combinations and bring you big cash prizes.
Special Features
What's great about the slot game Halloween Jack is that there are plenty of spooky surprises and special features to keep you entertained as you spin the reels. It all starts with the Walking Wild feature, which, as we mentioned before is the glowing pumpkin.
Every time a wild pumpkin lands on your reels you will be awarded respins, and with each spin, the pumpkin will move one place to the left. When all the wilds have left the reels, this bonus feature will end.
The second exciting bonus feature in the Halloween Jack slot game is the free spins bonus round. To trigger this round, you will need to land three or more jewellery box symbols on any of your reels. What's fantastic about this round is that you will then be awarded a whopping 10 free spins! You can then get another five free spins for each time you land another three scatter symbols on your reels.
The fun doesn't stop there with this round as you will find lantern symbols appearing on your fifth reel. You can collect these symbols to bag yourself one of three cool features. This is the stacked hell hound wild, the stacked jack o lantern wild and finally the expanding death reaper wild.
Playing on Mobile Devices
Halloween Jack can be played on mobile devices.
Our Opinion
Halloween Jack really is the perfect slot game to play during October and, really, at any time of the year! Players will love the spooky graphics and big bonus features that will help them to take home massive cash prizes. Don't miss out and spin its reels today!

Audioplayer Squeezelite, Shairport
Soundcard settings for audioplayers
Install your soundcard with Raspberry Pi Settings or with the custom HifiBerry / IQAudio / Justboom Max2Play editions. The custom Max2Play editions offer the easiest installer and setup of your audiocard. Make sure to first activate your soundcard and second set your audioplayer to use the soundcard.
Advanced Settings Squeezelite
Important Command Line Options for Squeezelite are:
- "-v" activates Visualizer for Jivelite (VU-Meter and Spectrum)
Using Squeezelite and Shairport (Airplay) at the same time
When using the build-in audiocards with the DMIXER audiodevice (standard) both players can run at the same time. When using an external soundcard and direct sound output (higher sound quality) just one player must have exclusive access to the soundcard. For this setting there are two possible options:
- Install Shairtunes for Squeezebox Server (easy installation on Squeezebox Server tab in Max2Play). With this setting all Squeezebox Clients will have Airplay support, but can't run synchronized. That means you may just play sound via Airplay at one device at a time.
- Setup Shairport on each Max2Play device and use advanced Settings in Shairport to automatically disable the Squeezelite player on the device once a stream is played via Airplay. This setting has the advantage of a dedicated Airplay Player on each device, that can be sychronized with iTunes to a multiroom setup.
Using Audioplayer and Kodi at the same time
Normal behavior of Max2Play: if Kodi is running, Audioplayers Squeezelite and Shairport are deactivated to give Kodi exclusive access to the soundcard. Once Kodi is closed, the Audioplayers are started automatically (if autostart is enabled).
If you want to override this setting, activate the "Use USB-Soundcard"-Option in advanced settings of Squeezelite. To use the audioplayers and Kodi at the same time you should assign different Audiooutputs to the players. E.g. an external soundcard for the audioplayers and HDMI for Kodi.
Some Cards like HifiBerry Digi may also be assigned to Squeezelite and Kodi at the same time and switch to the input source that offers a signal at runtime.
DLNA-Audioplayer with / without GMediarenderer
Squeezebox Server comes with DLNA-Support and every Squeezelite / Squeezeboxclient will be shown as a DLNA-Client in your local network. If you just want a DLNA-client without Squeezebox Server, GMediarenderer can be installed and used.
Equalizer Options
Equalizer should only be used with the build-in audiocard. Once activated you must set your audioplayer to use the equalizer output.
With Hi-Res sound and soundcards that benefit from direct Hardware Output (192Khz, 24bit) without software conversion, the equalizer should not be used as it downsamples to 44Khz (software conversions).
Lowpassfilter / Crossfeedfilter
Install and setup for build-In Audio to improve headphone sound quality.

The latest episode of animated series Star Wars: Forces of Destiny shifts its attention to Leia. Following the pattern set by the first two episodes of the series, the episode is set within the existing Star Wars timeline. All three episodes up to now pick up at some point within the cinematic universe and focus on characters from those films.
Episode 1 and 2 featured Rey in mini-adventures with BB-8, picking up the story soon after she meets the droid in The Force Awakens.
Where the previous two run as what are essentially outtakes from The Force Awakens, episode 3, called 'Ewok Escape', fills in the blanks in Return of the Jedi. The two-and-a-half-minute short picks up from the scenes in which we see Leia first meet Ewok Wicket and takes us on a micro-adventure that never made it to the big screen.
Crispy Fried Han Solo, Anyone?
It shows Wicket demonstrate his resourcefulness as he tackles two stormtroopers who have stumbled across two of his friends. Leia helps him out of a sticky situation and a bond is forged. If you've ever wondered why the Ewoks more readily accept Leia into their fold than her buddies – who initially wind up on the menu for a feast in C-3PO's honour – this gives us a deeper understanding.
The end of the episode also shows us the moment that Leia receives the outfit she's dressed in when her own friends eventually arrive in the Ewok village in Return of the Jedi – the natty boho dress. It's revealed that her new Ewok pals gift it to her and she gratefully accepts it, then asks if it comes with a spear. Wicket gives her his.
Star Wars: Forces of Destiny was conceived to spotlight the women of the franchise. Characters featured include Jyn Erso, Padmé Amidala, Sabine Wren, Ahsoka Tano and Maz Kanata as well as Rey and Leia. It's a series of 8 shorts, with each episode coming in at around 3 minutes.
Star Wars: Forces of Destiny is being released one episode at a time via Disney's YouTube channel, and premieres on the Disney Channel proper on July 9. A second series follows in the autumn.

I have been wanting to make these yummy guilt free bars for a while now. Saint Nicholas stopped by the other night and dropped off some chocolate so it was time to make some healthified snickers!
•1/2 cup peanut butter
•2Tbsp VitaFiber (can use agave, honey, maple/rice syrup)
•3Tbsp Oat flour
•Pinch cinnamon & ginger (optional)
Caramel filling:
•1 cup dates, soaked
•1/3 cup water
•1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
•Pinch pink Himalayan salt
•1/4 cup peanuts
Chocolate shell:
•1 cup dark chocolate, chopped
•2 tsp coconut oil
Combine all nougat ingredients together with a fork until well combined. Press dough on parchment lined baking sheet and press into a rectangular shape about 1/2″ thick, place in freezer for 30min.
Prepare caramel filling in food processor, pulsing until you get a creamy caramel texture. Spread caramel over cooled nougat layer.
Press 1/4 peanuts into caramel.
Place in freezer for 1-2 hours or overnight like I did. Slice into 12 snack size bars or 6 regular size bars. Prepare chocolate over double boiler. Coat bars with chocolate and place on rack or parchment lined dish, this can get tricky and you will get messy but worth it!
Place back in freezer to harden shell. Store in fridge or freezer. Enjoy!

A host of the MTV show "Catfish," Nev Schulman, has been accused of sexual misconduct and suspended, days after a woman posted videos online strongly intimating that he sexually harassed her during shooting of the program in 2015.
"Catfish" follows people who fall for each other online yet often lie about who they are, and grew out of a 2010 documentary in which Mr. Schulman got duped over Facebook by a woman who used someone else's picture and a fake name.
Hosted by Max Joseph and Mr. Schulman, who also serves as an executive producer, the show's seventh season ended in March, but future production is now on hiatus pending the outcome of an internal investigation into Mr. Schulman. "We take these allegations very seriously," the network said in a statement issued Thursday.
While neither MTV nor the show's production company, Critical Content, would comment on the nature of the claims, the suspension came less than a week after Ayissha Morgan, a guest during Season 4, posted two YouTube videos saying "the main person" on the show, whom she called "Jack," apparently as a pseudonym, repeatedly harassed her during production.
Ms. Morgan, who is gay, said "Jack" repeatedly hit on her for hours, telling her that he didn't think she was a lesbian and that she ought to re-evaluate her sexuality, and have sex with a man, namely him. She said he also urged her to join him in his hotel room, and asked her to re-enact sex with a woman with him.
"Anything you can possibly say to make someone extremely uncomfortable," Ms. Morgan said in the first of two videos (she posted the second one on condition of getting 500 likes on the first one).
Mr. Schulman denied any wrongdoing, saying in a statement that the behavior "did not happen" and that former colleagues on the show would back him up, though he did not elaborate.
"I have always been transparent about my life and would always take responsibility for my actions — but these claims are false."
Efforts to reach Ms. Morgan via email, text and phone on Thursday were not successful. In her second video, Ms. Morgan also said that during shooting she got very drunk with a female production assistant, went to the woman's hotel room, and that as she was passing "in and out of consciousness," she woke up to the woman on top of her.
Ms. Morgan did not specify what happened, but wrote, in text that appeared in the video, "this situation is so serious and is nothing to play with." MTV and Critical Comment also declined to comment on this claim.
Ms. Morgan also said that the next day, "Jack" handed her a note asking her if she found him attractive. She said she joked that she should co-host the show, and that he replied, "What are you willing to do for it?" She said he also asked her for details of her encounter with the production assistant.
"It's past the sadness and now I'm angry," Ms. Morgan said in the video.

Lionhead Studios and Microsoft are continuing their Heroes of Albion series this week with a brand new trailer which highlights another new character, Flair, a circus archer turned hero.
Fable Legends is set to launch on Xbox One and Windows 10 at some point this year, and Flair joins a roster of several Fable Legends heroes, each of whom have their own unique skillsets and weapons.
She can fire three arrows at once, light these arrows on fire and even throw tar ahead of her and set it alight using a flaming arrow, seriously, she's a total bad ass. In addition to her arrow firing skills, she can also breathe fire to keep enemies at bay.
Interestingly, she can also turn invisible, in a fashion. Flair can place a firework on the ground, then dive into battle. If things start to go south she can teleport bag to the firework and become invisible for a brief moment. This power also extends to teammates with Flair firing the firework making anyone standing nearby (aside from Flair) invisible for a brief period.
Flair's dodge skill is also pretty bad ass, as she'll be able to cartwheel out of the way kicking anyone in the face as she goes.
Flair, the latest addition to the roster, is the twelfth hero to be revealed for the game and with a circus performer background comes with many acrobatic skills as well as a talent for archery.
In Fable Legends there are a number of character types from Marksman, where Flair slots in, to an Assault class, Controller Class, and Support class.
Check out a closer look at Flair above.

An instructional coach is chiefly responsible for bringing evidence-based practices into classrooms by working with teachers and other school leaders. This course focuses on the coach's role in classroom management, content enhancement, instruction, asking effective questions, and assessment for learning. Participants will also explore the fundamentals for sustaining a successful coaching program including how to represent the coach's role to staff, building trusting relationships, participating in ongoing training, garnering support from administrators, and providing confidential, nonevaluative job-embedded professional development for teachers. Types of coaching and how to implement effective verbal and nonverbal communication designed to improve expertise in leadership, communication and listening, positive thinking, and support are major course themes, with additional focus on the conferencing and facilitation skills (including confidentiality agreements among coaches, teachers, and principals).
Differentiation and Literacy
In this course, Differentiation and Literacy, you will learn to differentiate your instruction to reach children of varying literacy readiness levels, both elementary and secondary. You will learn ways to improve your instruction by adopting a growth mindset and will practice strategies such as flexible grouping to enrich your literacy instruction. You will review the English Language Arts Common Core Standards and will explore methods to create differentiated literacy lesson plans to address those standards. You will discuss methods to develop a positive classroom culture. You will review effective methods of both self-assessment and other forms of assessment to guide your differentiation.

General description
Technical description
The DB5G_CXP4 daughter board for the IE5G_SS image processing engine adds support for BAP and third-party cameras with a CXP interface. The wide range of processing, detection, and compression features of the embedded IE5G_SS engine are now available for third- party CXP camera models.
The system consisting of the IE5G_SS plus the DB5G_CXP4 interface daughter board is designed not only as a high-performance embedded image grabber, but also for embedded video processing, image detection (with real-time decisions), and compression for various output formats.
The IE5G_SS is able to generate many images simultaneously from one scanned object. The processed images are sent to the host through a USB 3.0 Super Speed interface. MS Windows drivers are supported. Optionally, BAPis can provide drivers for other operating systems. The IE5G_SS can be installed
as an embedded system in any device which has to perform complicated image processing functions within a limited timeframe. The IE5G_SS was designed
to work with digital color cameras from BAPis, and with third party cameras.
With a performance of over 600 PPM (1200 IPM) 300 DPI DIN A4 simplex dual-stream (JPEG color + T6 bi-tonal) the IE5G_SS can be used in high-speed duplex color scanners. The IE5G_SS board has many additional image processing functions, such as compressions, image enhancement, Color Correction Matrix
for perfect color matching, advanced color filters, advanced asymmetric image sharpening, color saturation control filter, color de-correlation, barcode and mark recognition, and others.
- CoaXPress standard version 1.1 compliant.
- 4 CXP inputs supporting configurations: 1x4, 2x2, 4x1.
- Supports 4 x 17 W PoCXP (Power over CXP) mode for supplying cameras using the data cable only (compatible camera required).
- Up to 6.25 Gbps speed on each link.
- Various image processing, video manipulation and detection algorithms are available in the master IE5G_SS unit.
- Image multistreaming (color + bi-tonal output from the same source document) up to 64 output windows per document available.
- Flexible image output formats: color or grayscale JPEG, TIFF grayscale, TIFF color uncompressed, and TIFF bi-tonal with and without CCITT T6 compression.
