Rune Belsvik's The Bird Boy and Harald Nordtun's Blue Bats were nominated to the Brage Pize 2019 for the year's best children and young adult book.
Below are the jury's groundings for their nominations of the two books:
"The Bird Boy is an absorbing, sensitive tale of a child's attempts to control their emotions and of searching for fellowship. […] Through investigations into his day-to-day, Lukas gradually understands that he isn't the only one finding it difficult to get a handle on his thoughts. It provides him with strength as he reconciles with his unsafe living conditions in this bleak and believable depiction of childhood."
"Blue bats is sparse and eloquent, swooping down into themes such as poverty, fairness, dyslexia and various types of isolation. […] Sander has a sophisticated ability to rise up against different external pressures, and this runs all the way through the book. Despite its somewhat serious backdrop, this is both a warm and humorous novel. This thrilling, yet at the same time believable depiction of how isolating a childhood summer holiday can be, has a lot to say."

The Alchemist (Paulo Coelho) Rain (W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM) GENEALOGY OF A KISS (A Play in One Act by Scott C. Sickles) Three men in a boat (Jerome Klapka Jerome)
The boy approached the guard at the front of the huge white tent at the center of the oasis.
"I want to see the chieftains. I've brought omens from the desert."
Without responding, the guard entered the tent, where he remained for some time. When he emerged, it was with a young Arab, dressed in white and gold. The boy told the younger man what he had seen, and the man asked him to wait there. He disappeared into the tent.
Night fell, and an assortment of fighting men and merchants entered and exited the tent. One by one, the campfires were extinguished, and the oasis fell as quiet as the desert. Only the lights in the great tent remained. During all this time, the boy thought about Fatima, and he was still unable to understand his last conversation with her.
Finally, after hours of waiting, the guard bade the boy enter. The boy was astonished by what he saw inside. Never could he have imagined that, there in the middle of the desert, there existed a tent like this one. The ground was covered with the most beautiful carpets he had ever walked upon, and from the top of the structure hung lamps of hand-wrought gold, each with a lighted candle. The tribal chieftains were seated at the back of the tent in a semicircle, resting upon richly embroidered silk cushions. Servants came and went with silver trays laden with spices and tea. Other servants maintained the fires in the hookahs. The atmosphere was suffused with the sweet scent of smoke.
There were eight chieftains, but the boy could see immediately which of them was the most important: an Arab dressed in white and gold, seated at the center of the semicircle. At his side was the young Arab the boy had spoken with earlier.
"Who is this stranger who speaks of omens?" asked one of the chieftains, eyeing the boy.
"It is I," the boy answered. And he told what he had seen.
"Why would the desert reveal such things to a stranger, when it knows that we have been here for generations?" said another of the chieftains.
"Because my eyes are not yet accustomed to the desert," the boy said. "I can see things that eyes habituated to the desert might not see."
And also because I know about the Soul of the World, he thought to himself.
"The oasis is neutral ground. No one attacks an oasis," said a third chieftain.
"I can only tell you what I saw. If you don't want to believe me, you don't have to do anything about it."
The men fell into an animated discussion. They spoke in an Arabic dialect that the boy didn't understand, but, when he made to leave, the guard told him to stay. The boy became fearful; the omens told him that something was wrong. He regretted having spoken to the camel driver about what he had seen in the desert.
Suddenly, the elder at the center smiled almost imperceptibly, and the boy felt better. The man hadn't participated in the discussion, and, in fact, hadn't said a word up to that point. But the boy was already used to the Language of the World, and he could feel the vibrations of peace throughout the tent. Now his intuition was that he had been right in coming.
The discussion ended. The chieftains were silent for a few moments as they listened to what the old man was saying. Then he turned to the boy: this time his expression was cold and distant.
"Two thousand years ago, in a distant land, a man who believed in dreams was thrown into a dungeon and then sold as a slave," the old man said, now in the dialect the boy understood. "Our merchants bought that man, and brought him to Egypt. All of us know that whoever believes in dreams also knows how to interpret them."
The elder continued, "When the pharaoh dreamed of cows that were thin and cows that were fat, this man I'm speaking of rescued Egypt from famine. His name was Joseph. He, too, was a stranger in a strange land, like you, and he was probably about your age."
He paused, and his eyes were still unfriendly.
"We always observe the Tradition. The Tradition saved Egypt from famine in those days, and made the Egyptians the wealthiest of peoples. The Tradition teaches men how to cross the desert, and how their children should marry. The Tradition says that an oasis is neutral territory, because both sides have oases, and so both are vulnerable."
No one said a word as the old man continued.
"But the Tradition also says that we should believe the messages of the desert. Everything we know was taught to us by the desert."
The old man gave a signal, and everyone stood. The meeting was over. The hookahs were extinguished, and the guards stood at attention. The boy made ready to leave, but the old man spoke again:
"Tomorrow, we are going to break the agreement that says that no one at the oasis may carry arms. Throughout the entire day we will be on the lookout for our enemies. When the sun sets, the men will once again surrender their arms to me. For every ten dead men among our enemies, you will receive a piece of gold.
"But arms cannot be drawn unless they also go into battle. Arms are as capricious as the desert, and, if they are not used, the next time they might not function. If at least one of them hasn't been used by the end of the day tomorrow, one will be used on you."
When the boy left the tent, the oasis was illuminated only by the light of the full moon. He was twenty minutes from his tent, and began to make his way there.
He was alarmed by what had happened. He had succeeded in reaching through to the Soul of the World, and now the price for having done so might be his life. It was a frightening bet. But he had been making risky bets ever since the day he had sold his sheep to pursue his destiny. And, as the camel driver had said, to die tomorrow was no worse than dying on any other day. Every day was there to be lived or to mark one's departure from this world. Everything depended on one word: "Maktub."
Walking along in the silence, he had no regrets. If he died tomorrow, it would be because God was not willing to change the future. He would at least have died after having crossed the strait, after having worked in a crystal shop, and after having known the silence of the desert and Fatima's eyes. He had lived every one of his days intensely since he had left home so long ago. If he died tomorrow, he would already have seen more than other shepherds, and he was proud of that.
Suddenly he heard a thundering sound, and he was thrown to the ground by a wind such as he had never known. The area was swirling in dust so intense that it hid the moon from view. Before him was an enormous white horse, rearing over him with a frightening scream.
When the blinding dust had settled a bit, the boy trembled at what he saw. Astride the animal was a horseman dressed completely in black, with a falcon perched on his left shoulder. He wore a turban and his entire face, except for his eyes, was covered with a black kerchief. He appeared to be a messenger from the desert, but his presence was much more powerful than that of a mere messenger.
The strange horseman drew an enormous, curved sword from a scabbard mounted on his saddle. The steel of its blade glittered in the light of the moon.
"Who dares to read the meaning of the flight of the hawks?" he demanded, so loudly that his words seemed to echo through the fifty thousand palm trees of Al-Fayoum.
"It is I who dared to do so," said the boy. He was reminded of the image of Santiago Matamoros, mounted on his white horse, with the infidels beneath his hooves. This man looked exactly the same, except that now the roles were reversed.
"It is I who dared to do so," he repeated, and he lowered his head to receive a blow from the sword. "Many lives will be saved, because I was able to see through to the Soul of the World."
The sword didn't fall. Instead, the stranger lowered it slowly, until the point touched the boy's forehead. It drew a droplet of blood.
The horseman was completely immobile, as was the boy. It didn't even occur to the boy to flee. In his heart, he felt a strange sense of joy: he was about to die in pursuit of his destiny. And for Fatima. The omens had been true, after all. Here he was, face-to-face with his enemy, but there was no need to be concerned about dying—the Soul of the World awaited him, and he would soon be a part of it. And, tomorrow, his enemy would also be apart of that Soul.
The stranger continued to hold the sword at the boy's forehead. "Why did you read the flight of the birds?"
"I read only what the birds wanted to tell me. They wanted to save the oasis. Tomorrow all of you will die, because there are more men at the oasis than you have."
The sword remained where it was. "Who are you to change what Allah has willed?"
"Allah created the armies, and he also created the hawks. Allah taught me the language of the birds. Everything has been written by the same hand," the boy said, remembering the camel driver's words.
The stranger withdrew the sword from the boy's forehead, and the boy felt immensely relieved. But he still couldn't flee.
"Be careful with your prognostications," said the stranger. "When something is written, there is no way to change it."
"All I saw was an army," said the boy. "I didn't see the outcome of the battle."
The stranger seemed satisfied with the answer. But he kept the sword in his hand. "What is a stranger doing in a strange land?"
"I am following my destiny. It's not something you would understand."
The stranger placed his sword in its scabbard, and the boy relaxed.
"I had to test your courage," the stranger said. "Courage is the quality most essential to understanding the Language of the World."
The boy was surprised. The stranger was speaking of things that very few people knew about.
"You must not let up, even after having come so far," he continued. "You must love the desert, but never trust it completely. Because the desert tests all men: it challenges every step, and kills those who become distracted."
What he said reminded the boy of the old king.
"If the warriors come here, and your head is still on your shoulders at sunset, come and find me," said the stranger.
The same hand that had brandished the sword now held a whip. The horse reared again, raising a cloud of dust.
"Where do you live?" shouted the boy, as the horseman rode away.
The hand with the whip pointed to the south.
The boy had met the alchemist.

The European Roulette – The Premier League's fall from grace
The argument for the Premier League being the best league in the world is fast becoming weak. Previously, any potential naysayer was quickly shouted down by allusions to English clubs' record among Europe's elite in the Champions League. However, this record has been severely dented in the last couple of seasons.
It does not seem so long ago that we were waxing lyrical over the superlative performances of English clubs in the Champions League, with Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool making up four of the competition's semi-final spots in 2008. If those were the glory years for the English game, then what we're presently witnessing is one momentous fall from grace.
Chelsea, European champions in 2012, were sent crashing out of Europe's elite competition against PSG, a side that, although having the same sort of financial muscle as their London counterparts, they really should have seen off following a 1-1 draw in Paris three weeks earlier.
That defeat would have been difficult to take under any circumstance but the manner in which Jose Mourinho's side succumbed to their opponents will have left many Chelsea fans with a feeling of nausea.
The Blues didn't look up to matching the pace, endeavour or solidarity of the French side's performance either at Parc de Princes or Stamford Bridge. In the latter match, Chelsea were even given the distinct advantage of playing 60 minutes of the regular 90 (as well as 30 more in extra time) with an additional man on the field after Zlatan Ibrahimovic was sent off for a lunge on Oscar – an incident that left the PSG man labelling his opponents as a bunch of "11 babies".
Mourinho's men, who are top of the Premier League and 1/14 for the title at the time of writing with betfair, played like a team who naïvely presumed their passage was already secure. The tempo was pedestrian throughout, while any commitment or desire to see the game off appeared solely in patches. The Londoners twice took the lead, which would have seen them through. But, instead of harnessing the resilience that usually augments their game in such situations, they looked shaky and vulnerable – not the sort of thing you would imagine a team of their stature and experience would even be capable of in such a position. Factor the 10 days' rest they enjoyed ahead of this match, a top spot (and five-point cushion) in the title race and a morale-boosting League Cup victory into the equation and this result is immeasurably perplexing.
Also of interest was how much vitriol surrounded the behaviour of Chelsea's players both during and after the game – directed by pundits, fans and journalists alike.
Jamie Carragher – who has competed in plenty of intense matches against Chelsea – was particularly critical of the West Londoner's approach, most notably their reaction to Ibrahimovic's aforementioned tackle on Oscar.
When the incident occurred, nine Chelsea men rushed over towards the referee, with only the challenged Oscar and Thibaut Courtois absent.
Former Liverpool defender Carragher said, "The reaction from the Chelsea players is disgraceful and it's sad. It's something that's coming into the game and it comes from Jose Mourinho's teams. They have this reaction, it's not a one-off."
Although, as pointed out on social media by Chelsea themselves (amongst others), John Terry and co. are far from the first team to swarm around a referee when they feel a decision has unfairly gone against them (or, as insinuated here, with the sole intention of getting an opponent booked or dismissed), with Carragher and his fellow Sky Sports panelist Graeme Souness (also critical of Mourinho's men – we'll come on to that later) themselves central on more than one occasion.
Regardless, Carragher also went on to suggest that Mourinho's comments before the match, which claimed PSG had an over-zealous aggressive streak to their game, might have influenced Dutch referee Björn Kuipers when it came to producing the red card. In truth, as fellow Sky Sports pundit Thierry Henry pointed out on the evening, the card was brandished within mere seconds of the tackle coming in, hinting that Kuipers made his mind up instinctively and immediately, well before even the first Chelsea man showed any signs of grievance.
Not that this altered the view of a third prong in that particular TV punditry panel, with Souness giving the home side both barrels as well.
Known for his hard-man image, it's understandable that the Scot isn't in favour of gamesmanship in any form, from intimidating the referee to elaborately going to ground when a simple stumble would suffice. It's also, therefore, unsurprising that he was also far from impressed with the perceived antics on show during Wednesday night's encounter at Stamford Bridge.
Harping back to his own experiences, the three-time European victor bemoaned the ease and intention with which current players head to the turf when tackled.
During his playing days, Souness said, footballers would try and stay on their feet no matter what, in order to indicate that they weren't hurt. The (also) former Liverpool man decrees that things are the lineal opposite today, with players deliberately falling over and doing their utmost to get an opponent sent off. This, he says, is the "pathetic" side of football and is "not the British way".
These extremely admirable ethical and moral sensibilities should be applauded. After all, nobody finds that sort of behaviour tasteful. However, his comments, specifically regarding Diego Costa are particularly interesting:
"Costa – as much as I like him – starts off a game with one intention: 'I am going to intimidate the centre-halves, nudge them, elbow them, set about them physically and just get to the border without getting myself in trouble."
Now, please correct me if I'm wrong, but this sort of "gamesmanship" has been going on for as long as the game itself. There will be many readers of this article, able to recall occasions at school or during Sunday League matches when you were either subjected to a sustained period of provocation or happened to be the culprit of said antagonism. And I'd be willing to wager good money on Souness himself being part and parcel to all that during his career – both on and off the pitch.
Another person who might well agree with my comments is that man again, Mourinho.
Never shy of an opinion or two (who can forget his Goals on Sunday tirade over what he considers biased officiating against Chelsea?), Mourinho lambasted Carragher and Souness in his pre-game press conference ahead of the visit from Southampton on Sunday.
Clearly, The Blues boss senses a spot or two of hypocrisy in his critics' words.
Chelsea will now have to move on and focus on regaining the Premier League for the first time in five years but their poor showing isn't the only example of the top-flight's finest failing in continental competition this year.
Next under the spotlight will be Arsenal and Manchester City this week.
When the draw was made for this year's Champions League second round, North Londoners Arsenal must surely have been happiest with their lot out of the three remaining English sides.
Chelsea had been pitted against the cash-laden PSG, while City once again faced up to the prospect of having to find a way past the star-studded Barcelona. Arsenal, on the other hand, had their name pulled out alongside Monaco – a club who sat bottom of Ligue 2 fewer than four years ago. Granted, since that point they've been saved by the obligatory Russian oligarch in Dmitry Rybolovlev and stormed to a second-placed finish during their first season back in Ligue 1. But given all that, this was, on paper, a tie Arsenal must have been extremely pleased with.
The Gunners will have also been boosted by the knowledge that any sort of advantage they could muster from the first leg would be taken with them on their trip to Monaco. However, it will have been great frustration that Arsene Wenger and his team took from this meeting with one of his former sides, as they went down 3-1 at Emirates Stadium.
Much like Chelsea, Arsenal rarely looked up to the challenge on the night, missing myriad chances, many clear cut, with most falling to the wasteful Olivier Giroud.
The Frenchman had six opportunities to find the back of the net from within the area in the space of an hour but couldn't convert a single one. It goes to show just how fickle sport can be, as merely a month ago he was being praised for his rekindled form and sharpness in front of goal.
Monaco, on the other hand, had no such trouble – landing seven of their 10 shots on target compared to Arsenal's four from 14.
The visitors' ruthlessness up front wasn't the only key to their victory on the night, though. They were dogged in defence and simply looked far more eager for the win than their hosts. Nothing clicked for Arsenal and, although they had a decent penalty shout turned down, the scoreline didn't really flatter Monaco, nor represent an injustice for Arsenal's efforts.
Of course, the final curtain hasn't quite been drawn on the Arsenal side's European adventure this year but there's only a slight shimmer of light shining through.
Wenger will hope his team can turn that glimmer of hope into a glorious, famous escape in the principality next week but, if they can't, that will leave City as England's only hope of Champions League success this year – and they arguably have the most treacherous task ahead.
In the 2014 campaign, City put in a respectable display against Barça at Camp Nou after a rather lacklustre, unorganised performance during the first leg in Manchester. They ended up on the wrong side of a 4-1 on aggregate result in that tie but it will have served as a learning curve for Manuel Pellegrini's team as they discovered the nuances of playing knockout-stage football at this level for the first time.
Worryingly, City came perilously close to conceding a goal in second-half stoppage time once again, but Joe Hart's crucial save from Lionel Messi's spot kick could turn out to be a pivotal point of this two-legged affair.
The Catalan side currently sit top of La Liga and have scored a mighty 22 goals in their previous six league outings. In contrast, City are five points behind Chelsea in the race for the title and have netted 14 times in their previous six league matches at the time of writing.
City can't allow these stats to play on their mind, though, as Pellegrini's team revisit the ground at which they alighted last season's European campaign. They must concentrate on the task at hand and show no respect to their opponents. They are, after all, peers, not subordinates.
If City can manage this, then it is possible for them to turn their 2-1 deficit around. We've seen it done before. Unfortunately, the prevailing omens of English endeavours in the competition this year suggest that what seems to be an unlikely ascension to the European summit will actually prove insurmountable for the Mancunian side once again. We can always hope otherwise.
So, where did it all go wrong for English sides in the continent's elite competition? Some commentators argue that the standard of the English game is way behind that of Europe's other leagues. But that claim seems to be a little knee-jerk, considering that between 2005 and 2012 the country had eight finalists in the Champions League. Chelsea made it to the semi-finals of last season's competition and Everton are well and truly still in the running for a Europa League title this year, despite a woeful domestic campaign.
England as a nation prides itself on being pessimistic but I personally don't think that's particularly beneficial for any English club competing in Europe.
It would take a sustained period of decline for England to lose our fourth Champions League spot through the UEFA coefficients scoring system, even though you might have heard differently, and there's always next season – as ever.
England have been incredibly fortunate to enjoy a long and fruitful spell at the pinnacle of European football and it just so happens to currently be someone else's time to dominate, but these things tend to be cyclical.

Information for Teachers
Classroom collaborative art-making can uncover the tension between existential perspectives and community consciousness.
Generative Topic
Who gets the final say – you, me, or us?
Lesson Description
To begin this lesson, students will study action painting from the Abstract Expressionist movement. Students will watch videos of Jackson Pollock and Dale Chihuly painting, and compare their processes. Students will also view Pollock and Chihuly's art-making processes in the context of existentialism. They will understand that an artist's actions are what give his or her life meaning. Taking inspiration from these artists' processes, students will create collaborative sculptures in response to their materials. While creating their collaborative sculpture, students will be challenged by the dynamic interplay between individual ideas and group decision-making.

Understanding Goals
UG 1.Students will understand the relationship between action painting and existentialism.
Performances of Understanding
-Intro: Students will understand that following WWII, existentialism influenced the process and philosophy of Abstract Expressionists.
-Guided: Students will understand the similarities between Jackson Pollock and Dale Chihuly's process.
-Culminating: Students will understand that an artist's struggle with materials can serve as a lasting mark of his/her existence.
Ongoing Assessment
-I will assess students written responses in which they explain how existentialism influenced Abstract Expressionists, compare Pollock and Chihuly's process, and explain how an artist's struggle with materials can give their work and life meaning. This will be a formal assessment.
UG 2. Students will understand the difference between abstract and non-objective art.
Performances of Understanding
-Intro: Students will understand that abstract art can be categorized as objective or non-objective.
-Guided: Students will understand that the line between objective and non-objective art is often blurry through the process of debate and discussion.
-Culminating: Students will understand that they can apply these concepts by creating a collaborative non-objective sculpture.
Ongoing Assessment
-I will provide feedback during their debate and discussion about where the line is between objective and non-objective art. I will also provide feedback while they design their non-objective sculpture. These will be informal assessments. I will assess their ability to identify abstract art that is objective and non-objective. This will be a formal assessment.
UG 3. Students will understand that individual and collective expression in art often mirrors individual and collective expression in society.
Performances of Understanding
-Intro: Through discussion, students will understand how Dale Chihuly's process incorporates individual and collaborative art-making.
-Guided: Students will synthesize their understanding of Chihuly's process by using individual and group decision-making while making their own sculptures.
-Culminating: Students will apply their understanding by identifying other activities they have completed that required individual and group decision-making.
Ongoing Assessment
-I will provide feedback on students' ability to identify how Chihuly works individually and collaboratively. This will be an informal assessment. I will assess students' ability to balance individual and group decision-making based on observations of them working and on end of class reflections. These will be informal assessments. I will assess students written responses in which they draw parallels between this collaborative art-making process and other disciplines and personal experiences. This will be a formal assessment.
Information for Students
Enduring Understanding:
Classroom collaborative art-making can uncover the tension between existential perspectives and community consciousness.
Your goal is to create a collaborative nonobjective sculpture inspired by the process of action painters and Dale Chihuly. While creating this sculpture, you will need to explore form, balance, rhythm, color, and light.
1. The sculpture must be free standing. (proper internal supports/weight distribution)
2. The sculpture must be viewed from all sides. (front, back, sides)
3. The sculpture must incorporate external or internal lighting. (light placement)
Materials: (you can go beyond this list)
Plastic water bottles
House paint
Chicken wire
Styrofoam spheres and rectangles
Tissue Paper
Mod Podge
Hot glue
Timeline (Design, Create, Assemble)
Week 1
View high school in-progress sculptures, take notes of design/assemblage
Choose a designer for your team, or create a few designs and vote on them
Choose your inspiration for your sculpture
Draw four thumbnail sketches, showing the sculpture from different perspectives
Pick your favorite design and make a detailed drawing of your sculpture
Weeks 2 and 3
Prepare base and support structures
Paint and cut bottles
Create any additional pieces
Start to assemble
Weeks 4 and 5
Complete assemblage
Roles to Choose From
These roles are meant to be fluid and organic depending on your skills, preferences, and the needs of your team.
The Designer is the person who creates the chosen sculptural design. It is the Designer's job to decide the specific color palette for the sculpture, as well as cutting and painting techniques. The Designer should stay true to his/her vision and gets the final say on design decisions. However, the Designer needs to be diplomatic and get input from the team. The Designer also needs to be open to his/her vision for the sculpture changing and evolving as it is being made. While the Designer's primary job is to make design decisions, the Designer should also be an active member of the Production Group or the Assemblage Group.
Team Leader
The Team Leader must have strong organization and management skills. It is the Team Leader's job to determine and assign daily tasks. It is also the Team Leader's job to check in on team members to make sure they stay on task, and to help the Designer, the Production Group, and the Assemblage Group communicate. While the Team Leader's primary job is to keep the team organized and to uphold clear communication between groups, the Team Leader should also be an active member of the Production Group or the Assemblage Group.
Production Group
The Production Group is primarily responsible for organizing, painting, and cutting water bottles. The Production Group needs to communicate with the Assemblage Group to determine which part of the sculpture they need to make first. The Production Group also needs to communicate with the Designer and Team Leader if any design elements need to change due to the process of painting and cutting the bottles. Some Production Group members may switch to the Assemblage Group a couple weeks into the project, once there are more bottles to assemble than there are to make.
Assemblage Group
The Assemblage Group is primarily responsible for designing and constructing the structural elements for the sculpture. This includes designing and constructing the base, any internal support structures, attaching water bottles, and attaching lights. The Assemblage Group also needs to communicate with the Production Group to let them know which part of the sculpture will be assembled first. The Assemblage Group also needs to communicate with the Production Group, Designer, and Team Leader if any design elements need to change due to the process of assemblage, and the need for proper support and weight distribution, or incorporation of lighting.

Neutrals - white, black, and grays have no hue nor intensity and are not colors. They are called neutrals. The term is sometimes used (loosely) to describe low-intensity, almost-neutral color also.
Color Harmonies/Relationships
Monochromatic color – a color harmony that is a single color: a hue and its tints, shades and intensity variations. Example: pink, red, maroon.
Analogous Color Harmonies – a color harmony of three or four colors that are adjacent on the color wheel. The similarity of analogous colors tends to produce a calm, relaxed feeling in an artwork. Example: yellow, yellow-orange and orange

Akshay Kumar has done it again and this time just at the middle of the year 2019. His latest flick Mission Mangal has become 11th film to cross the 100 crores milestone and might even join the 200 crore club. So what makes Akshay Kumar better than the three Khans of the Bollywood – Shah Rukh, Salman and Aamir. Let us find out.
Saaho 10th Day Box Office Report – The Prabhas And Shraddha Kapoor Starrer Performs Well
In January 2016, Akshay Kumar stunned every one with one of the finest performance of his life in Airlift. The movie received a strong word-of-mouth and went to become a blockbuster. Akshay's winning streak with 100 crores milestone continued with Housefull 3 in June followed by Rustom in August (in spite of clashing with Hrithik Roshan's Mohenjodaro).
Salman Khan has given biggest hits of all time with Ek Tha Tiger (Rs 339.45 crores) but suffered with Tubelight and Race 3 while Aamir Khan last stellar show was Dangal (Rs 387 crores) where as Shah Rukh Khan came back with Raees but his last few films Fan, Dilwale and When Harry Met Sejal suffered. This makes Akshay Kumar the only actor to give back-to-back 9 hits (Airlift, Rustom, Housefull 3, Toilet-Ek Prem Katha,Padman, Gold, Kesari and Mission Mangal) in the span of just 3 years which no other Khan have done within this short period of time.
The main reason behind the success of Akshay Kumar's films are the less number of shooting days taken to complete the film. Jolly LLB 2 took 35 days (approx) while Toilet:Ek Prem Katha was completed in just 40 days and all his films are generally shot in India with no fancy and glossy sets. The producers are happy as it brings down the cost of the film automatically. Distributors are happy as the producer sells his film at reasonable cost while exhibitors rely on the star power of Akshay Kumar since last few films have touched opening of Rs 55-60 crores in their first weekend itself, recovering major investment from the films.
Akshay Kumar
Akshay Kumar had also impressed the audience with powerful performances and is pretty active in social media being upfront on the social issues of molestation and rape which has set positive trend for his fan following. Looking forward, Akshay Kumar has fantastic line of releases coming up – Prithviraj, Laxmi Bomb, Housefull 4 and Bacchan Panday. In this way, he is sure to give the Khans of Bollywood some tough time.

Garlands Out Clause Discouraged Mariners - RealGM Wiretap
The Mariners parted ways with Jon Garland on Friday.
The team liked what they saw from Garland this spring, but Eric Wedge said the out-clause in the pitcher's deal simply came too early for Seattle's comfort level.
"When you have an out this early in camp, you're put in a position where ultimately, you have to make a decision," Wedge said.
"We were able to get him up to 69 or 70 pitches Tom Brady Jersey , but ultimately when you're talking about that type of commitment over a period of time we had to make a tough decision and he had to make a tough decision and that's where the 'ot' came in."
Wedge was asked whether Garland would have had to "separate" himself more from the other pitchers to force the team's hand.
"It's a combination of things," Wedge said. "Obviously, when you talk about Jon or Jeremy Bonderman, you're talking about guys who haven't pitched in a while. So, when you talk about how many starts they may or may not get over the course of the season Rob Gronkowski Jersey , you've got to make those decisions. But we do have other guys who are fighting for spots and we feel good about those guys. It's just somewhat of an unusual situation to have an 'out' that early, but I understand why he had it and I'm sure he's going to get other opportunities."

After all the drama of last week, it looks like Brian is finally done for. However, it seems after everything, Rachel will still not make a statement against him, and without one, they can't press charges. Back at the station though, Brian's locker is being cleared out, as Sean still tries to feebly defend his boss. Later on though, after months of giving her the cold shoulder, Sean finally apologises to Sharon for his nasty behaviour towards her, and tries to explain why he stood up for Brian. Sharon accepts the olive branch and friendships are mended at the station. N'aww. Now all we need is this damn statement from Rachel....

New toy, Msuper X experience...He never is when it comes to Gotway
Sell my NEW Tesla or 2017 MsuperV3S+What about your ACM2,s Marty so is the z10 favored over them?
tadrossi replied to dpong's topic in General DiscussionI cringe every time I see guys ride on trails near creeks. One false move and your wheel could be toast 2K down the drain. A stone in the path a branch or anything you miscalculate and that wheel can throw you and end up i the drink. I did this on my first mcm4 15 minutes after I got it off the fedex truck. Id ridden the same trail a million times before on my previous wheel and this time a concrete chunk was concealed by some leaves. It hit my pedal and twisted the wheel. I feel in one direction and helplessly watched the wheel tumble down the embankment and splash in the creek. I got up ran and jumped in after it got it out, but it was fried. I didnt know how deep the water was if there were snakes or what. All I could think about was my wheel. I think I'm still hurt to this day.
Day 198 - new in at 99 - 4,980.70km travelled
tadrossi replied to The Man of Mead's topic in GotwayPales in comparison to the money I save on paying a therapist. I get on my wheel and all problems just fade into the background. Come home with a new sense of peace and balance.
MSuper X vs. KS18L: Has Gotway become 'safe enough'?
tadrossi replied to Nick McCutcheon's topic in GotwayFor what its worth most crashes I have had in my 3 years are at slow speeds from misreading some terrain feature and not giving the wheel the appropriate response. the last on I had was on a bike path the had 2 raised bumps back to back and launched me off the wheel into the air. I landed on my feet running. A face plant is rare, the best safety feature is awareness. IMHO
LOL. No I went to them directly. He did give me a good deal tho. They are good guys. Very punctual. Good business men.
Thanks Marty. I kinda figured that. But so many people that I respect are raving about the new Msuper X that it had me second guessing my purchase. To be honest Im still terrified of the speed I can hit on the Acm 2. Im coming from an MCM4 so I still havent pushed past 27mph on my new wheel. Still learning it. Thanks as always for the info. P.S I really enjoyed the podcast with you Duf and Jason. Very informative.
Marty i just bought an ACM V2 from ewheels. How would you compare that wheel to an Msuper x? Speed wise is the acm slower? Does it have the same engine?
ACMv2 vs Tesla ?The motor in the new Gotway Acm V2 makes no sound at all just like the tesla. Some of the early ones may have whined but the ones going out now are silent. I have 1.
The Gotway Tesla 1020wh Model Open Box and Initial thoughts
tadrossi replied to Tishawn Fahie's topic in GotwayI love the whine. Makes it sound like a spaceship. Just personal choice. I feel like a starfighter when I whizz by
I'm not the guy in the video. I was making a general comment. I hit my eye socket and broke my glasses. Nasty scrape on my forearm and sore but ok. I could easily have broken my orbital bone tho. I was on a gotway mcm4 and misjudged the height of a curb and hit my pedal and it took my momentum and slammed me on my face with it. Salute to all euc riders out there. fun and be safe were the kool people
This is sooooo accurate!! I was just to cool for my own good. I knew to wear gear all along. I am both very skilled and cautious. And it STILL didnt matter!!!! And I say that with all due humility. That concrete and landing on my face before there was anytime to react made me realize that I do this for fun and enjoyment not to leave my daughter alone in this world. Learn from our mistakes people. For the people who love you and need you wear safety gear.
2017 - quiet EUC year?
tadrossi replied to em1barns's topic in General DiscussionMarty do you really think the mcm4 was lame? I have been quite impressed with mine.
I only ride at night. There are less people out and about and by the time they realize what I,m on I,m gone. I get sick of people trying to stop me and ask me questions.
This is why I very rarely stop for people calling me and try to ride in areas with as few people as possible.( If you have to kill some one its a lose, lose situation.) The best defense you have is good judgement and awareness. We had a similar thread before and people said negative things when I expressed my viewpoint about not stopping for people and using deadly force if necessary. I ride for my pleasure and stress relief I don't want to interact with you unless your a pretty girl. I know what can happen if some genius decides that he wants to take your wheel. Best wishes to the guy who was attacked. Another reason I ride a wheel that will hit at least 20 mph.

Finding Your Story in God's Story …
The Bible contains an Upper Story and a Lower Story. The Upper Story tells the big picture, the grand narrative of God seeking to be in relationship with mankind as it unfolds throughout history. The Lower Story contains the details of particular people, the episodes we've become familiar with: Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, the flood, etc. The Lower Story helps us better understand the Upper Story which becomes for us a framework around which we approach and apply the Bible to Our Story. It unifies God's whole message to us and helps guide us through the hard times in life by doing two things:
- a) reminding us of God's eternal, long-range plan and,
- b) putting our experiences into a divine context formed by a perfect Creator.
For example, without the "Upper Story," a lost job could be seen as an event without hope. But put into the context of the larger chronicle of our lives, and God's perfect design, that lost job can be seen in a very different light, perhaps as an opportunity for God to reveal something better.
So, by putting all we read into the larger picture, we can make modern-day application from the Bible that takes into account the grand, mysterious ways of God, and guards us from misapplications that can result from an isolated "what this verse says to me" approach. In other words, the Upper Story creates the context for the Lower Story.
At our church we want to use The Story to help everyone gain a better understanding of the big picture of the Bible and to better understand God's redemptive plan for us today. As we journey together through The Story we will take note of both the temporal events and characters (Lower Story), as well as the eternal purpose of God: to restore and build a relationship with His creation (Upper Story). Through this, we hope you'll begin to see with amazing clarity what God wants to do in your life (Your Story).
To assist with finding Your Story in God's Story, we are recommending that you ask yourself these seven questions continually throughout your reading and discussion of The Story. You may want to consider writing the answers into your "Life Journal."*
- What did you learn about God, yourself or others in this chapter? God has revealed Himself to mankind in the pages of the Bible. When you and I read the Bible, we begin to see with the eyes of faith, what is invisible to the naked/physical eye.
- How do the events in this chapter relate to the overall Story of God's pursuit and redemption? God has revealed His overall plan through the pages of the Bible – from the first chapters of Genesis to the last chapters of Revelation, God's plan is unfolding. No longer do you have to feel tossed about by the waves of uncertainty. Nothing in life is without purpose.
- What do you struggle to understand or embrace from this reading? Some things that God reveals are difficult to understand or accept. That is ok. We know that God's ways are not our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). As you and I wrestle with these challenging verses, God is creating in us a discontent for the things of this world, to ready our hearts for His Kingdom and eternity.
- Write a one or two sentence summary of this chapter. By summarizing the chapter while it is fresh in your mind, not only do you create a brief synopsis, but you capture the main points that God is trying to convey to you in a larger section of Scripture. This will help you turn loose and disconnected sections of Scripture into a larger narrative.
- Write out a prayer to God of appreciation or petition. For me, this is where it "gets real." When you turn what you've learned or experienced into a prayer, you are asking – even begging! – God to use it to make a difference in your life. This is what turns Bible reading from information, to transformation!
- How does this chapter point to Jesus, or challenge you to be more like Him? Jesus said that the Scriptures point to Him – even the Old Testament. He is in the whole of God's Story – not just the New Testament. Searching for Jesus in the Old Testament is very illuminating, and again shows that God is working His redemptive plan throughout the pages of the Bible.
- Is there something you learned that needs to be shared with others? We learn and internalize information best by sharing it with another person. A Growth Group is the best place to do this. Even if you aren't in a group studying The Story itself, you'll have in any group an opportunity to share how God is teaching you and challenging you through your reading of The Story.
We hope that you'll join us in this unique journey through Scripture! "For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword…" (Hebrews 4:12). How does God want to inform, shape and transform you through His Word?
Journeying with you!
Pastor Augie.

Mookie Betts on D&C: 'I wasn't really expecting to get a call this year'
Recent Red Sox call-up Mookie Betts joined Dennis & Callahan to discuss his major league debut. To hear the interview, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page. Betts has played in two big league games since making his Red Sox debut Sunday night against the Yankees. He has a hit, scored a run and walked in six big league at-bats. He said he hasn't noticed any major differences compared to the minor leagues so far. "The only differences, you have better stadiums, better lighting and obviously you have a little better pitching," Betts said. "But it's pretty much all the same as far as the game. It's still 90 feet, still have to throw across the plate. I thought it was going to be this big, huge difference and it's really not." Betts got the call-up after just 23 games with Triple-A Pawtucket. After starting the year in Double-A Portland, Betts said he wasn't even expecting to make it to the majors this season. "I didn't really have a target date. I wasn't really expecting to get a call this year, so it was a huge surprise for me," he said. "I didn't really have a target date. I was more concerned with going to big league camp next year and trying to turn some heads at that point." Normally a second baseman, Betts was forced to play the outfield in order to have a spot in the Sox' lineup with Dustin Pedroia occupying second. "Center field has also been a place I've kind of enjoyed playing," Betts said. "That or second base, but second base is obviously blocked, so center field is fine." Betts and the Red Sox had the misfortune of going up against Jake Arrieta on Monday night. The Cubs starter nearly no-hit the Sox before Stephen Drew got a base hit in the eighth inning. "He's hitting spots. There's not much you can do at that point. I think he was throwing three or four pitches for strikes yesterday," Betts said of Arrieta. "There's not much we can do besides wait for him to make mistakes, and he didn't. Props to him for pitching that well. He's been great all year." Betts was hitting .355 in Portland and .322 in Pawtucket before reaching the majors. But when asked if he has ever slumped in his career, he said, "Absolutely. It's just a matter of how quickly you get out of the struggles. ... Even when I'm going well I always get extra swings in and just try and keep myself consistent. I think that's kind of how I get out of slumps." Betts has taken noticeably large leads when he's reached base so far, something he said he never realized. "When I first got to Triple-A they told me my lead was that big," he said. "I didn't really realize it. I didn't think it was that big. They told me I probably have to take a half-step back."
