The Dallas woman who filmed Botham Jean's last moments alive fears for her life after the apparent assassination of key trial witness Joshua Brown.
Brown, 28, was gunned down on Friday night by an unknown assailant after he exited his car at his apartment complex, about 6 miles from the South Side Flats apartments where he previously lived across the hall from Jean.

There are growing fears for the woman who filmed Jean dying after he was shot by former Dallas cop Amber Guyger in his own apartment.
Ronnie Babbs, who also goes by "Bunny", was a neighbor of Jean's, who filmed the aftermath of the shooting from a lower staircase. She said she hadn't planned to upload the video to social media, but she changed her mind after seeing news reports that contradicted with what she filmed.
Babbs told the Advise Media Network in January, that she began filming the scene after hearing 2 gunshots and a man's voice saying, "Oh my God. Why did you do that?"
"It was just a lot of crying, a lot of hysterics," Babbs said. "[Guyger] was just pacing back and forth for at least seven minutes, according to my video."
She also captured footage of paramedics rushing Jean down the hall on a gurney.
Babbs said she's received death threats and she was fired from her job at a pharmaceutical company after speaking out about the Jean shooting.
She said her employer accused her of "radical, anti-police" behavior before they "blacklisted" her.
She created a GoFundMe account that raised over $65,000 in donations.
"I was brave enough to come forward with information that has helped the DA charge a police officer who murdered an innocent black man in his own home when nobody else would," Babbs wrote on the fundraising page, according to The Dallas Morning News. "I was hesitant as I knew the consequences could affect me greatly. I put my own life at risk and decided to help."
Babbs originally planned to write a book about her experiences. Now she says she is taking classes to own her own pharmacy.
During her testimony in court Babbs dismissed concerns that her GoFundMe donations damaged her credibility.
"There are obviously major red flags any time a witness uses a connection to a legal proceeding as a platform to openly solicit donations," Dallas defense attorney Chris Knox told the Morning News.
Guyger is serving a 10-year prison sentence at the maximum security Mountain View Unit in Gatesville, about 120 miles southwest of Dallas. A new mugshot of the 31-year-old former cop was released by the Texas Department of Corrections on Tuesday.

New Feathered Dinosaur Species — 'Mud Dragon' — Found In China Accidentally
A specimen from a previously undiscovered species of dinosaurs has been found in the Ganzhou area of south China accidentally. The specimen belongs to the group of oviraptorosaurs — bizarre feathered dinosaurs that formed a sub-group of theropods — which were ancestors of birds.
Found after the fossil narrowly missed a dynamite explosion during construction work at a school, the species has been named Tongtianlong limosus, which translates roughly to "muddy dragon on the road to heaven," earning it the moniker of "mud dragon." The slightly morbid name does not come from the narrow escape of the fossil from the dynamite, but rather from the posture of the animal at the time of its death — lying on its front with outstretched wings and neck, trying to escape from the mud in which it was stuck.
Steve Brusatte from the University of Edinburgh, one of the researchers who studied the fossil, said in a statement: "This new dinosaur is one of the most beautiful, but saddest, fossils I've ever seen. But we're lucky that the 'Mud Dragon' got stuck in the muck, because its skeleton is one of the best examples of a dinosaur that was flourishing during those final few million years before the asteroid came down and changed the world in an instant."
While T. limosus has wings and was a bird ancestor, it was flightless. Oviraptorosaurs, which ranged in size from about one to 25 feet, were characterized by short toothless heads and sharp beaks. Some within the group, like T. limosus, "had crests of bone on their heads that were probably used as display structures to attract mates and intimidate rivals, like modern-day cassowaries," the statement said.
Junchang Lü from the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, said of the discovery: "It will provide important information on the study of evolution, distribution and behavior of oviraptorid dinosaurs."
The study, a collaboration between the University of Edinburgh, Institute of Geology, Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences and the Dongyang Museum, China, was published in the journal Scientific Reports under the title "A Late Cretaceous diversification of Asian oviraptorid dinosaurs: evidence from a new species preserved in an unusual posture."

Food Packaging
Food packaging can have a significant impact on food taste, quality and longevity. But none of that matters if the product does not get picked up off of the shelf and purchased. As we move into a new world of what makes a product marketable and peek at one of the biggest snacking events of the year – the Super Bowl – we want to know what marketers and brand packaging professionals are doing to encourage consumers to pick up their bags of chips and containers of dip before the big game. So we went to the store (our local Safeway) and asked consumers why they picked up a bag of chips.
Americans spend over $20 million on tortilla chips and a whopping $140 million on potato chips during the week before the Super Bowl (presumably for scooping up the 140 million pounds of avocados-a-la-guacamole). We asked why customers chose the bag of chips they did. Here's what we heard.
Tostitos Party Safe Bag
With giant stanchions of Super Bowl-friendly items ringing the check-out aisles and almost every endcap, customers still aimed for the chip aisle, many picking up the Tostitos Restaurant Style chips. Of the five people we spoke with, two mentioned hearing about the Party Safe Bag that Tostitos launched prior to game day. The sleek black bag comes with a built-in sensor that, when blown on, turns into a red steering wheel when alcohol is detected and includes an Uber code and a "don't drink and drive" message. Though we did not see this bag at the store, the "cool" factor drove interest in the brand.
Takis Chips
Positioned close to the deli counter, portion-sized bags of Takis Zombie and Takis Fuego resemble rolled tortillas. Coated with salsa and lemon powder (Fuego flavor also has hot chile pepper), Takis (a product of Barcel USA, the snack division of Mexico's Grupo Bimbo) were selected by a young man who was looking for "spicy snacks." (He chose Fuego.)
Towards the back of the store, Mission boasted a huge display of just tortilla chips. We inquired of one customer why she chose the Mission Tortilla Strips. "You get a lot of chips for the price," she said (the Safeway Club price was two bags for $5), confirming that product and its packaging is just one of the four P's in the classic marketing mix.
In My Family's Basket – Skinny Pop, Fritos, Safeway Organics and Ruffles
What made it into our shopping basket was determined partly by price (Mom loves bundled pricing) and partly by demand from my husband and two boys. "Can you get some Fritos?" "Oh! We love Boom-Chick-a-Pop!" and my insistence on purchasing only GMO-free corn products (except for those Fritos) determined what went into our cart on Super Bowl weekend.
Admittedly, my team's methods are imperfect (and involved minors) and our stats are not grounded in science. But there it is. Brand packaging drives sales but to move product before the Super Bowl, don't neglect any of the four P's of the marketing mix: placement, price, product and promotions all have their place in selling chips.

Whether Dolphins tight end Julius Thomas arrived in Miami a better player or not remains to be seen. But he knows he's coming to his new team as a better person.
"I became a much, much better person in the last two years," Thomas said, via ESPN.com. "Having some struggles on the field really helped me grow mentally and in my own personal life. So I'm not upset by the way things happened. Sometimes the best way to learn is when you go through things. I definitely took advantage of that in my own life."
He dug a little deeper: "I think sometimes you get the impression that your success on the field defines who you are as a person and how well you're living your life, and that's really not the case. As you get older you start to realize that. When you're 25 or 26, have amazing stats and you're playing in a Super Bowl, it's really easy to just be focused on just your game and not the kind of person you're being and relationships with your friends and family."
Thomas went on to spout some of the well-worn clichés common with May preseason football -- he's in the best shape, the best years are still ahead of him -- but the cathartic discussion of his personal life separated an otherwise banal organized team activities interview from the pack.
We've seen players go through the 'humbling' process before. Thomas arrived in Jacksonville as a high-priced, top-tier free agent target, only to catch a handful of footballs over the next two years. He was traded to theDolphins only because his tireless effort as a young player under Peyton Manning with the Broncos made an impression on the current Dolphins coaching staff, which had connections to Thomas in Denver and with Manning.
Should he become a dependable mid-range receiving target for Ryan Tannehill -- something the Dolphins have struggled to find in recent years -- the personal growth will be as fulfilling on the field as it has been off the field.

When deciding to become a nurse there are two aspects to the training that you will undergo: an LPN theoretical training course, and an LPN clinical training course. Both are equally important for any nurse who wants to make a success of their nursing career right from the start of their training regime and can therefore not be ignored.
What Is An LPN?
An LPN, or licensed practical nurse (known as a licensed vocational nurse in some states such as California), is a nurse that works in a very practical, hands-on environment in a health care facility. Unlike RNs, who must train for about 4 years in order to become licensed as such, LPNs only need to train for around 2 years in order to receive licensing. LPNs are capable of performing many of a Registered Nurse's duties, but there are limitations on their scope of practice. For example, they cannot give orders to most health care workers.
The hours for an LPN are strenuous. The job description officially claims that an LPN works an average of 40 hours a week.
- LPNs often have put in extra hours on night shifts and weekends
- Typically a skilled LPN may be required to work between 50 and 60 hours a week (which earns them base pay rate plus overtime)
The actual duties that LPNs perform can vary depending on who their employer is as well as on the level of education and experience they have attained thus far in their career.
What Is An LPN Clinical?
The job of an LPN is extremely hands-on and practical. This means that, in order to be sure that you are fully capable of doing this job, you need to do clinical or practical training during your studies. This will serve two purposes:
- It will give you exposure to real-world working environments
- It will allow your instructors to assess you and determine whether or not you can be said to have passed the course
The most important aspect of nursing that you will cover in an LPN clinical course is patient care. Initially you will be required to shadow a current and licensed LPN and observe the duties that they perform. As the practical course continues you will gradually begin to perform the clinical duties yourself under the supervision of a Licensed Practical Nurse or, usually, a Registered Nurse with many years of experience who can direct you on the right path. There is also a fairly heavy concentration of administrative work in the average LPN job, so you will also be trained during your clinical in the following subjects:
- Filling out paperwork
- Writing down medical histories
- Maintaining medical records
- Tracking inventory and supplies
Reasons For Doing LPN Clinicals
It should be self-evident that there are a number of very compelling reasons for completing an LPN clinical course. Apart from the fact that it is required as part of the course and licensure rules, it will also help you achieve a higher level of confidence once it becomes time for you to work as a licensed LPN in an actual hospital setting in the future. The more clinical experience that you are able to gain during the training stages of your LPN career, the greater your expertise in the field will be once you are a licensed practical or licensed vocational nurse, and the better your resume will look. In short you will be improving your employment opportunities in addition to improving your own knowledge and skill in the area of practical nursing. If you do not like the idea of hands-on experience you will need to find another career path as nursing is an extremely hands-on job. If you are not sure that you want to be a nurse, the LPN clinical training is the ideal way for you to get a feel for what you will do in a genuine hospital situation and help you make the decision regarding whether or not this line of work is for you.
Satisfy Program Requirements
The program that you will need to complete to be an LPN will require that you do an LPN clinical course in order to pass the program. This is a very important reason to do an LPN clinical, but it is not the most important. This is merely an administrative aspect of the Licensed Practical Nurse clinical. There are a number of practical reasons why you need to complete training in this regard in order to move forward with your nursing career as a skilled member of the health care profession and industry.
Experience Different Work Environments
Your LPN clinical course allows you to get a feel for different nursing environments and will make it easier for you to decide which of the following positions (after completing the necessary training) you may like to hold as an RN in the future:
- Ambulatory Care Nurse
- Camp Nurse
- Cardiac Care Nurse
- Case Management Nurse
- Certified Nurse Midwife
- Clinical Nurse Leader
- Clinical Nurse Specialist
- Correctional Facility Nurse
- Critical Care Nurse
- Dermatology Nurse
- Developmental Disability Nurse
- Diabetes Nurse
- Domestic Violence Nurse
- Emergency Nurse
- Family Nurse Practitioner
- Flight/Transport Nurse
- Forensic Nurse
- Gastroenterology Nursing
- Genetics Nurse
- Geriatric Nurse
- Gerontological Nurse Practitioner
- Gynecology/Obstetrics Nurse
- Health Policy Nurse
- Hematology Nurse
- HIV/AIDS Care Nurse
- Home Health Care Nurse
- Hospice Nurse
- Independent Nurse Contractor
- Infection Control Nurse
- Informatics Nurse
- Infusion Nurse
- International Nurse
- Labor and Delivery Nurse
- Lactation Consultant
- Legal Nurse Consultant
- Licensed Practical Nurse
- Long-Term Care Nurse
- Managed Care Nurse
- Military Nurse
- Neonatal Intensive Care Nurse
- Nephrology Nurse
- Neuroscience Nurse
- Nurse Advocate
- Nurse Anesthetist
- Nurse Attorney
- Nurse Educator
- Nurse Entrepreneur
- Nurse Manager
- Nurse Practitioner
- Nurse Researcher
- Nursing Quality Improvement
- Occupational Health Nurse
- Oncology Nurse
- Parish Nurse
- Pediatric Nurse Practitioner
- Perianesthesia Nurse
- Perinatal Nurse
- Perioperative Nurse
- Poison Information Specialist
- Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
- Public Health Nurse
- Pulmonary Care Nurse
- Radiology Nurse
- Rehabilitation Nurse
- Reproductive Nurse
- Rheumatology Nurse
- Rural Nurse
- School Nurse
- Substance Abuse Nurse
- Surgical Nurse
- Toxicology Nurse
- Transplant Nurse
- Trauma Nurse
- Travel Nursing
- Urologic Nurse
- Wound and Ostomy Nurse
Gain Hands-On Experience
This is clearly the most important aspect of any nursing training course. It has been mentioned several times that you need to gain hands-on experience in order to be a successful and effective licensed practical nurse in the field. This hands-on experience can be gained in a number of different settings allowing you to develop a feel for what your options in the realm of nursing are. This is also the best way for your instructors to determine whether or not you are ready for a real life experience: if you show that you are competent during the LPN clinical training and that you can handle all of the demands of the job, they will be able to pass you and you will be one step closer to being a fully licensed LPN. The idea is that you have some concept of what you will need to do before you are thrown into a real nursing situation. There is no way that you can read a few textbooks and then expect to walk straight into a health care facility and know exactly what you need to do.
How Can I Be Prepared For A Clinical Course?
There are a few things that you can do before attending your very first LPN clinical day in order to make the whole experience easier and less daunting:
- Firstly you need to be prepared. This means having all of the equipment with you that you may need on the first day, like a stethoscope. In addition it is a good idea to bring something to take notes with. The information that your instructor gives you during these clinical sessions may prove invaluable later on. Being prepared also means reading up on the basic skills that you may be asked to demonstrate on the first day and considering whether or not you will be able to perform those skills.
- It is essential that you are always punctual, on your first day of clinical practice, and every other day after that. In addition punctuality is extremely important throughout a nursing career in general and therefore needs to be learned early on.
- There will be a dress code for trainees at the particular facility where you do your Licensed Practical Nurse clinical. You should make sure that you know what you are expected to wear and adhere to it carefully.
Where Can I Get My Clinical Experience?
There are a number of different locations where you will be able to get your LPN clinical experience:
- Hospitals
- Your school
- Hospices
Apart from the above there are other options, but these are the most common. Usually the school where you do your theoretical study will have facilities for practical work. These facilities will either be part of the school itself, or the school will have an agreement with a nearby health care facility that accepts trainee nurses and allows them to do their practical training in that setting. Some hospices offer similar internships. Usually these LPN clinicals are unpaid. If you choose to do your theory work online it will often be your responsibility to find a facility where you will be allowed to complete your clinical training. Essentially you can complete your LPN clinical training at any facility that offers internships to trainee nurses and where you will get hands-on experience in a practical patient care and administrative setting. Choosing facilities that have a better reputation and where you get more exposure to a wider variety of different nursing fields will be best as this will not only reflect well on your resume but will also provide you with more advanced opportunities.
The Problem With Online Training Schools
It should be obvious that online schools, although convenient and flexible, do come with one problem: they cannot provide LPN clinical training as there is no way in which you can complete such training online. It has to be done in a hands-on clinical setting where you will have actual exposure to actual patients. This is the situation where you may have to organize your own clinical internship, although the better online schools will provide you with a list of possibilities for completing your LPN clinical. Some schools that are not accredited will claim to offer a complete LPN training course online. This is however not possible for the aforementioned reasons, and such schools should be treated with deep suspicion and perhaps even struck form your list of consideration altogether. Without clinical training your degree will count for nothing and you will not be eligible to receive licensure through your state board of nursing until such time that you have completed a completely different LPN program from scratch including the appropriate clinical work. You do not have remove online schools from consideration, but you do have to practice additional caution when considering these schools as a training option.
Consequently it is very important that you not only do your best when it comes to your LPN clinical training, but also that you think carefully about what training you would like to specialize in as well as the quality of the school or facility at which you receive your clinical training. There is no way for you to avoid this section of your studies. In fact, an attitude of avoidance or unhappiness in relation to LPN clinical training will not stand you in good stead and will be a burden to you during your LPN career.

Please, sir, I want some more.
—Oliver Twist
Novel by Charles Dickens, originally published as a serial in Bentley's Miscellany between 1837 and 1839. Oliver Twist is born an orphan and raised to a young age in a cruel workhouse that exploits the poor. Eventually he escapes the workhouse, only to run afoul of the London underworld. He's recruited into a pickpocket gang, but rescued by a kindly gentlemen who discovers Oliver's real identity and finally finds him a happy home.
The story is one of Dickens' most famous tales and includes some of his most enduring characters, including the crooked Jewish ringleader Fagin and the sly Artful Dodger. Like many of Dickens' works, the novel contains a great deal of social criticism on the way British society at the time treated its poor. Of particular note is the famous scene in which the starving Oliver begs for more gruel from the workhouse cook and is harshly punished.
The story has been adapted many times throughout the years, with some adaptations taking more liberties than others. One in particular, the 1960 musical version, Oliver!; the 1968 film version was successful enough to win Best Picture that year.
- All Girls Want Bad Boys: Played with. Nancy is fiercely loyal to the abusive Sikes, though she has no illusions about what he is. On the other hand, Rose falls for the Incorruptibly Pure Harry.
- The Artful Dodger: The Trope Namer
- Being Evil Sucks
- Being Watched: Sikes suffers from this after he murders Nancy.
- Berserk Button: Don't even think about insulting Oliver's mother.
- Big Screwed-Up Family: Just check out what Oliver's dad, Edwin Leeford, had to deal with.
- Bittersweet Ending
- Break the Cutie: This is exactly what the bad guys want to do to Oliver. They almost succeed.
- Also, Agnes's Death by Childbirth is the end to one of these.
- Broken Bird: Nancy, Agnes at the time of her death.
- The Bully: Noah Claypole.
- Cain and Abel: Oliver and his half-brother, Monks/Edward Leeford.
- Catch Phrase: Lots of the characters have them. Perhaps the most memorable is "I'll eat my head!"
- Chekhov's Gunman: Nancy, Noah . . .
- Children Are Innocent: Played straight and subverted. The pickpockets are streetwise crooks, but they're desperate for survival and guided by malicious adults who exploit them.
- Cliff Hanger: Since the novel was published as a serial, Dickens was naturally fond of this - how else are you going to make sure the readers buy the next issue?
- Consummate Liar: Nancy is perfectly capable of fooling police officers, her lover Bill, and even Fagin.
- Contrived Coincidence: By an amazing stroke of luck, Sikes and Oliver set out to rob the home of Oliver's aunt Rose. Having previously attempted to pick the pocket of Oliver's dad's best friend, Brownlow.
- Cool Old Lady: Mrs Maylie, in a Purity Sue kind of way.
- Crapsack World: Played straight, with London and the Workhouse, but subverted when Oliver lives in the country with the Maylies.
- Death by Childbirth: Oliver's mother Agnes. Who also is Rose's deceased older sister.
- Disproportionate Retribution: Oliver asks for a second helping of food and is severely punished for it. (This was intended as a cutting Satire on social conditions, of course.)
- Domestic Abuser: Bill Sikes, to Nancy; Noah Claypole, to Charlotte (to a certain extent, anyway; it's verbal, not physical); Widow Corney, to Mr Bumble; and Mrs Sowerberry, to Mr Sowerberry. The last two probably qualify more as Henpecked Husband, but it's still portrayed as somewhat abusive.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Charley may be a pickpocket and street urchin, but he's VERY upset when Sikes kills Nancy.
- Evil Mentor: Fagin.
- The Fagin: Trope Namer.
- Females Are More Innocent: Most of the women are wholesome, decent people (special mention goes to The Ingenue Rose), save for Nancy, who is a Love Martyr for Bill Sykes, someone who is less than pleasant
- Film of the Book: Multiple.
- Greedy Jew: Dickens indulges in this trope to the hilt with Fagin, however it does not appear that Dickens himself held any grudge against Jews. Creating exaggerated characters out of all walks of life was his stock in trade. He also claimed that he only made Fagin Jewish because he legitimately believed that most London "kidsmen" were Jewish. Later in life, Dickens befriended some Jewish people and discovered that they were offended by the character. By way of apology, he want back and excised many references to Fagin's faith.
- Have a Gay Old Time: Charley Bates is frequently called "Master Bates." This is probably supposed to be amusing for another reason, in that Charley is a street urchin unlikely to deserve such an honorific.
- Heartwarming Orphan
- Heel Face Turn: After helping kidnap him, Nancy starts to care for Oliver and betrays Fagin in order to protect the child. Note: she does not turn on Sikes, and refuses to leave him. If only he knew that . . .
- Henpecked Husband:
- The eventual outcome of Mr. Bumble's marriage to the Widow Corney.
- Also Mr. and Mrs. Sowerberry.
- Heterosexual Life Partners: The Dodger and Charley Bates, Brownlow and Grimwig, the Doctor and Grimwig (they become this after the events of the book, anyway), possibly Bet and Nancy, though we don't see them interact enough to tell.
- Also Brownlow and Edwin Leeford, to the point of becoming his Secret Keeper.
- Hooker with a Heart of Gold: Nancy is not specifically stated to be a prostitute, but she's implied to be, and partly fulfills the requirements of the character type.
- Incorruptible Pure Pureness: Oliver and the Maylies.
- Jerkass: Near the beginning, most authority figures.
- Karma Houdini: Several, to varying extents.
- Charley Bates got off pretty easily, as he was something of a Creator's Pet. However, Dickens did try to make it realistic in the sense Charely's onscreen villainy was pretty low in the first place and while his Heel Realization drove him to an honest trade, it was enough to get by and little else.
- Noah Claypole got off for any criminal involvement with Fagin's gang in exchange for basically selling Fagin out eventually, and while he became a somewhat honest citizen by the end of the story, all of his Jerkass moments he never really had to answer for.
- Laser-Guided Karma: After years of tyrannizing over the workhouse, the Bumbles end the novel in it.
- Lemony Narrator: Dickens' authorial voice is well known for this trope.
- Luke, I Am Your Father: Or better said, "Oliver, I'm your Disappeared Dad's best friend".
- May-December Romance. Edwin Leeford was on both ends of this. First he married a much older woman ( Monks's mother) and theirs was a very unhappy union. Later he met a young girl named Agnes and they hit it off, but he suddenly died and Agnes ran away from her family. And we all know what happened to her.
- Missing Mom: Oliver's mother Agnes dies at the beginning of the novel.
- Orphanage of Fear: Though it's actually a workhouse, Oliver Twist features probably the most infamous orphanage in literature.
- Orphan's Ordeal
- Parental Abandonment: And how.
- Parental Substitute: Many, good and bad, including: Fagin, Nancy, Mr. Brownlow, his housekeeper, Rose Maylie, and Mrs. Maylie.
- Pinball Protagonist: Justified.
- Purple Prose: The beginning of the first chapter is a very Egregious example of this. Though not all of the book is Purple Prose, it and Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness still occur quite often - for example, a face is hardly ever, if at all, called a face - it's always a "countenance".
- At times, it seems this trope is invoked intentionally, particularly in the scenes where Oliver is clearly getting screwed over, so as to add an extra element of detachment to the text, which makes Oliver's suffering all the more horrifying given the clinical prose.
- Much of the reason for this, as in Dickens' other work, is that Dickens was paid by the word.
- Redemption Equals Death: Nancy, who goes from kidnapping crook to martyr through her death.
- Revealing Coverup: If Sikes et al hadn't been so concerned about getting Oliver back so he couldn't implicate them, then they probably would have continued unnoticed and lived. Of course as soon as they kidnap him the whole house of cards starts to collapse.
- Right on the Tick: Used in a bit of foreshadowing when Nancy pays attention to clock striking eight p.m. Eight a.m. was when friends/colleagues of hers were to be executed the next day.
- Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: The book was famously quite cynical and critical about the plight of the poor in England at the time, yet is also typically idealistic in its regard for incorruptible youth.
- Street Urchin: The Artful Dodger, Charley Bates and the rest of Fagin's pickpockets, including Oliver.
- Strong Family Resemblance: Mr. Brownlow started to have thoughts about Oliver's true identity when he noticed that he looked a LOT like the portrait of Agnes that he kept at his home...
- This Bed of Roses: Nancy takes Oliver under her wing and is determined to raise him to be a respectable young man.
- Trap Door: Monks meets Mr and Mrs Bumble in his derelict warehouse hideout, and after their conversation reveals that they had been sitting on a trapdoor that he could have used to drop them in the river had he wished.
- Truth in Television: Charles Dickens wrote the book based on many problems that were prevalent in English society at the time.
- Fagin was a representative of a type of criminal found in the slums of that day, called a "kidsman." They would train young runaways and "throwaway" children to pick pockets, and pay them for the proceeds, as well as providing a place to sleep. Oliver Twist himself gets used as what was called a "snakesman"---a young child or very small adult who could insinuate himself into places where an adult could not pass, to open doors and allow older, larger confederates to enter.
- Values Dissonance:
- The character Fagin who is depicted as a Greedy Jew, something that wasn't that uncommon in Victorian literature, but since World War Two has caused a lot of controversy with modern readers.
- On the other hand, Dickens vivid and social descriptions of the problems of the poor people in society were something that actually shocked 19th century readers, who weren't used to hearing about all this hidden atrocities.
- Villainous Breakdown: Sikes after murdering Nancy; Fagin while awaiting execution.
- Would Hit a Girl: Sikes, who physically abuses Nancy. This includes the fatal beating of her toward the end of the novel.
Adaptations with their own trope pages include:
The other adaptations contain examples of:
- Adaptation Distillation: Like most of Dickens' stories, it's fairly long and plot heavy, leading to very abridged adaptations.
- Animated Adaptation: 1974 by Filmation, in which Oliver gets a frog for a companion throughout the whole story.
- Disney's Oliver and Company is an extremely loose adaptation of Oliver Twist, where everyone but Fagin and Sikes are animals and it takes place in 1980's New York.
- Beam Me Up, Scotty: "Thank you, sir, may I have another?"
- Compressed Adaptation: The Maylies? Who are they?
- Edward "Monks" Leeford. Where is he?
- Loveable Rogue: Some adaptations turn Fagin into one of these to de-emphazise his ludicrously Un-PC Greedy Jew characterization in the original.
- Pragmatic Adaptation: All of the recent adaptations have reworked Fagin to make his criminality partly or entirely a product of nineteenth-century antisemitism.
- Race Lift: In a recent BBC adaptation with Timothy Spall as Fagin, Nancy is inexplicably turned into a black woman. This is entirely ignoring the fact that Sikes, being a Nineteenth Century Politically-Incorrect Villain, would have nothing to do with black people. This also provides a case of Politically-Correct History.
- Recycled in Space: Twist is Oliver Twist IF EVERYONE WAS GAAAAY!
- Spared by the Adaptation: No one has the heart to kill off Fagin anymore, although the most recent BBC adaption averts this (while making the execution about his race/religion instead of him being evil).
- The execution involves a Shout-Out/To Shakespeare: Fagin is given the option of converting to Christianity to save himself, which is straight out of The Merchant of Venice.

Support Your Local Trails this Season
Give to our year-end campaign
Thank you for sharing the area trails with us this year.
On the hikes, runs, or mountain bike rides you enjoyed this year, did you notice the hundreds of downed trees that were removed from trails ranging from the Colorado Trail to Dry Fork, Hofheins, Engineer Mountain, Pass Trail and others in the area?
Did you appreciate the trailwork done in Horse Gulch, Overend, Dalla, Twin Buttes, the Colorado Trail, Engineer Mountain Trail, and Missionary Ridge, or did you enjoy the new trails built on Animas Mountain?
Maybe new trail signage helped you find your way, or you learned something through the stewardship and educational campaigns, social media messages, newsletter stories, and other information that makes our community aware of what's going on in our surrounding trail networks.
Durango Trails tackled these and many other projects during the 2021 season, as it has every season for the last 30 years. But we can't do this work alone; it takes great communities to build great trails.
Because of the current circumstances, your support is needed now more than ever, and we hope you will consider increasing your investment in what is arguably our community's greatest resource by increasing your year-end gift. Doing so will help ensure Durango Trails has the funding needed to complete the many projects that are slated for 2022.
We know the last 19 months have been trying on many levels, and we hope you have found some solace spending time outdoors, enjoying the fresh air and beauty of our area.
Thank you for your continued support, and for understanding the connection between your enjoyment and love of Durango's trails, and the hard work of Durango Trails.
Thank you to our 2021 volunteers!

India's squad for the upcoming Asia Cup, to be played in the UAE from August 27, was announced on Monday. Rohit Sharma will lead the team, while former captain Virat Kohli is back in the squad after a break. Premier paceman Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the tournament due to an injury.
KL Rahul returned to the Indian squad as vice-captain after recovering from injury and COVID-19. Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik are the two wicket-keeping options in the squad of 15. Three specialist spinners are part of the squad which includes, Ravichandran Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravi Bishnoi. Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja are the two all-rounders.

In Bumrah's absence the pace attack will be led by the experienced Bhuvneshwar Kumar with youngsters Avesh Khan and Arshdeep Singh rounding up the squad.

Top Email Finder Tools
Updated: May 21, 2021
The spectrum of sourcing has gone beyond levels for Recruiters. There is no one tutorial that can possibly track and teach all the sources a recruiter can potentially use in his/her talent hunt.
But still, one of the most reliable ways to reach a potential candidate even to this day is via e-mail.
Now there are tonnes of email tracking tools out there. But most of them are pure paid resources.
I've tried to collate a list of email tracking tools that possibly has a free version despite it's paid plan.
And I really have tried them all before laying them out here.
PS: Reaching someone through their Professional email is not usually very easy. Especially when you are a tech recruiter targeting a Software Engineer with Mid level experience. Coz, many a times, external emails will be blocked due to security reasons and your mail probably may not reach the recipient. But that does not happen always. There is still a chance in that foreseen uncertainty.
So, here you go.
Lusha is probably the most known tool among the Recruiting fraternity. Flashing it here, just in case you haven't heard of it.
Lusha works through a chrome extension and you get 5 credits per month in your free plan and the credits reset after 30 days.
1 credit = 1 contact. Yes you can get the email and the phone number of your prospect.
You will get a Dashboard that maintains the records of all the contacts you have identified through the tool, which can come in handy for your future reference.
Here is an example on how Lusha identifies a contact from a Linkedin profile.
You get into a prospect's linkedin profile and hit the Lusha extension. Bingo! you will get the below dialog box and then it is your call to get the contact or pass on.
As for the screenshot above, the email is my old one which is no more active. Phone 1 is my legitimate number. Phone 2 listed above is not active at all. I hope you get the picture.
Swordfish is also a similar tool like Lusha. Give it a try.
Again you can add this as a Chrome extension in your computer. When you start checking for contacts in Linkedin, GetEmail can be seen right inside your contact's profile. Clicking that will get you the most possible email id of that person.
Unlike Lusha, you get 10 credits (10 contacts) per month in the free plan, but you don't get phone numbers here.
Once you have downloaded the GetEmail chrome extension, you will see the Green GetEmail icon inside all of your linkedin contact pages.
Once you hit it, a dialog box opens 👉
As for example above, the email GetEmail found is legit. That's my professional email id. I'm not masking details here so that you know I'm not bluffing. Go ahead and shoot me a mail ;-)
Hunter is a tool that lets you find professional email addresses of people. You can browse for email ids with respect to a particular domain name. You can probably shortlist your prospect's email id if you know the first name and last name.
You also have an option to verify the email ID you have identified.
There are however limits in the free version on the number of Domain searches you can make and the number of email IDs you can verify.
You get 25 domain searches and 50 email verifications per month in your free plan.
This is just a modest list of tools that can be useful for Recruiters or Sales guys. I have used these tools extensively for my Business development initiatives. However there are tons of tools out there. I'll leave it to your wisdom to check the rest on your own.
Rule No. 1 in Recruiting: There are no rules
Happy Recruiting!

Online dietary supplement retailer LabDoor is joining the investment portfolio of IncWell, a venture capital firm based in Birmingham, the company announced Wednesday.
LabDoor counts Mark Cuban, celebrity billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks, as its first institutional investor.
I'd take their recommendation with a 'grain of salt' as they do make money off of sales.
I do know that 'NOW' products are consistently of high quality and recommended by natural - leaning doctors and practicioners.
The company says it analyzes the purity and potency of hundreds of dietary supplements and energy drinks at FDA-registered labs and then offers them online at labdoor.com and via its mobile application. More than one million customers use its website and mobile app each year.

Actually NOW products are the bargain basement of the industry, they are the only brand priced LOWER than Private Label...so no, I would say NOW is the last brand I personally would choose to give anyone in my family...but hey thats just me. Cheap retail...always means cheap as hell raw materials...and I dont think I need to explain what that means.

However the shown company associated with Mrk Cuban has nothing to do with the number 1,2 and 5 products listed, nothing at all, so that really doesnt affect the discussion, besides the number 1 sellers and top sellers are very easy to get via SPINS scans. The data processing agency for the industry.
As I said that data is old as hell, but pretty accurate to spins for say...5 years ago

Knock, Knock. Who's There?
Most of us like a good laugh. We want to be entertained. While there are several approaches to create advertising, humor often gets people talking. Think about the Super Bowl commercials that have become an anticipated attraction beyond the game itself. Adding humor to your marketing can increase brand awareness. Here are a few ways you can leave your customers laughing.
Get a sense of humor
When you use humor in advertising, you're typically creating brand awareness and buzz for your business. So you need to understand your brand essence. This is the heart and soul of your brand. It's what makes you think of Disney as "family fun entertainment," or Hallmark as "caring shared." Your advertising efforts—and your humor—should reflect the emotional connection you want your customers to have with your business.
Ruffle some feathers
You've figured out your personality, now you need to know your audience. Comedy is a risky business. There's a fine line between humorous and offensive. But you can't play it safe if you want the buzz. Understanding your audience will help you determine how close to the line you can go. Humor in advertising usually provokes attention so expect the phone to ring. If you've done your job, the majority of calls will be for more sales.
Make me laugh
Ask any comedian. Comedy is no easy business. You can leave them laughing or completely tank. You may want to turn to a professional copywriter to help you set the right tone for your business. Consider testing your marketing with some of your current customers before sending it out into the world.
Humor in advertising can be employed in any medium, whether it is direct mail or radio. Social media is a great platform to test out your humor. Most people visit social media sites to be entertained so get out there and knock 'em dead.

Using humor in marketing can make it attractive and it can easily engage the potential customer, which can later help in an increase in sales. This was one of the best tactics that I learned in my last assignment for which I opted to pay to write my assignment online. And this marketing strategy I have seen practically in some brands as well.ReplyDelete
Our mostly clients want to see humor when they look advertisement, serious and boring ads are can't impress to our clients. I am really impressed to see this strategy and would love to use this for Research Paper Writing Services online.ReplyDelete

Kix "Thinking About" New Studio Album
September 19, 2008
Kix and Blues Vultures guitarist Ronnie Younkins recently conducted an interview with Sleaze Roxx. When asked if there was any interest in getting together to make a new Kix record Ronnie replied with the following:
"I've mentioned it to Brian (Forsythe) and he's got an open mind to it. Steve (Whiteman) and I actually brought it up on our flight to Rocklahoma. That's a possible beginning of it all – the fact that we're talking about it. I'd be interested in doing that and Brian would to. I think Steve would to. It's a matter of if we all have songs together to record. The most important thing is the music."
Ronnie also revealed that he has begun work on a second album with his band Blues Vultures. The entire interview can be read at https://sleazeroxx.com/interviews/ronnie-younkins-interview/

Senate Corner
Senate continues to fill open positions
October 24, 2013
This week the UW-River Falls Student Senate continued to fill open senator positions by bringing Madeline Pingry onto Senate as the Greek Representative.
Pingry was recommended by the Panhellenic Council, approved by the Shared Governance Committee and passed unanimously via voice vote on the floor of Senate.
By welcoming Pingry to Senate we have filled all but four positions, only leaving one first year position, the non-traditional representative, the military representative and the CAFES representative. We are still accepting applications for those positions, so if you are interested please find the application form on OrgSync.
The next thing on our agenda this week was an allocation from our reserve account to replenish the Allocable Fee and Appropriations Board's Single Event Funding account to allow for Single Event Funding to continue for the remainder of the semester.
This motion was only an introductory motion and will not be voted on until next week's meeting. We accomplished a lot on preparing the motion to be passed smoothly next week. The Single Event Funding account is for student organizations to fund events they want to hold that is not allocated from their budget. If the motion passes next week then the Single Event Funding account will have enough money to last the remainder of the semester. We will be discussing expanded funding for next semester near the end of this semester. In the Senate Executive Board Committee this week, we selected from a great group of candidates for our Public Relations Administrator position, which is a non-voting member of Senate.
The Public Relations Administrator will be in charge of all marketing and communications projects that will be taken on in Senate, and they have the honor of updating the UWRF Student Senate Facebook and OrgSync pages with all events we will be sponsoring, and major motions we will be passing. Out of our qualified group of candidates the Executive Board chose Blake Herbison to fulfill the roll.
The Senate is working on many projects that will help to improve our campus and you can be part of all the changes by applying today. A simple application is set up on the Senate OrgSync page that can lead you to anyone of our 100 open committee positions. These positions give students a voice on a number of committees and truly allow individual students to make a difference.
Matt Shutey, a student at UW-River Falls, is the 2013-2014 legislative affairs director for Student Senate.

"I am very excited about this season but I want to know from Neha Kakkar where is Rohu's photo (husband Rohanpreet) which you would always have on your table while shooting for Indian Idol. Today, we are attending the virtual event press conference and I can't find the photo, where is the photo gone?" quizzed Himesh.
Neha quickly responded, "There is no need for a photo, I am shooting from home today, so he is with me in the other room."
The fun banter continued and when Aditya asked who among the three is the most difficult to please, Neha jokes, "I am very difficult to please, "Main itni difficult to please hoon ke mujhe panipuri khila do I will take you ahead in the show."
Talking about judging the show for the fourth time in a row, Neha shared, "If you ask me about how it feels to be the judge of an Indian Idol judge, I will just go on and on. I still feel even after four seasons, that -oh my god is it really happening! I have already judged three seasons and all of them have been such a huge hit. I am very happy and glad. It has also become a responsibility because when I came as a contestant on the show, it was very important for me to show my real talent to the world and how important it was for me that the judges should encourage me. So, I, as a judge, make sure that I encourage the contestants. Himesh Reshammiya and Vishal Dadlani are such great judges that they don't let the morale down of any contestant or hurt them. All three of us try our best to give the respect to the contestants that they deserve. It feels amazing to be associated with the show and the talent is really great this time."

Exercise Apps: The Best Options for Working Out at the Gym
When you start working out at the gym, a lack of basic exercise knowledge can lead to you repeating the same routines over and over. This is where exercise apps come in.
Repetition can lead to boredom and discouraging feelings about continuing. Don't worry: there are plenty of exercise apps that can liven up your routine and help you to live a healthy lifestyle. In this article, we'll take a look at some of the best exercise apps out there.
What are exercise apps?
We all know that the Internet can provide solutions to pretty much anything we can think of. This is also true for working out. While there are apps that teach you a variety of exercises that you can do at home without equipment, there are also ones that show you techniques that you can use at the gym.
These gym-friendly apps normally include charts to show you the amount of calories that you're burning and your heart rate. This will make it easier to achieve your goals.
The best gym apps
This app challenges you to do a daily seven-minute routine, for seven straight months. This will lead to fast results. These intense exercises require a considerable amount of endurance and are somewhat difficult. However, if you keep at it consistently and enthusiastically, you'll get better every day.
Additional help comes in the form of a 3-D interactive guide, to show you how to do the exercises properly.
Virtua Gym
This app offers 500 different exercises, some of which you can do at the gym, and others that you can do at home. Even if you're on vacation or taking a break from the gym, you can still maintain your workout regimen with the help of this app.
So that you can keep track of your daily goals, the app features graphs that show the results you achieved with each workout.
Daily Butt Workout
This app focuses on some of the most difficult body parts to shape and tone: the glutes and legs. This difficulty stems from factors, such as the thighs being the largest muscles in the body. As such, the exercise needed to slim and tone them requires more exertion than with other muscle groups.
This app deals with this issue directly. In just five minutes each day, you can tone this part of the body using videos and explanations that will help you to perform the exercises perfectly.
Fitness Point
This is one of the best gym workout apps thanks to its virtual trainer, who describes the exercises step by step. The trainer also evaluates your progress and sets new goals for you.
In addition to using it at the gym, you can also use this while you walk, run, row, or skate. It will help you to keep track of your heart rate, the distance you traveled, the calories you burned, and other personal records.
Entrenamientos de Abdominales (Sit-up Workouts)
Doing sit-ups can be one of the most boring parts of a workout, especially if you don't know enough about the proper technique. With this Spanish-language app, you'll learn different ways of doing sit-ups so that you can improve your routine. You can do them at home or at the gym, working different muscle groups in this area in order to get the six-pack that you've been dreaming of.
Enter your information and the app will create a series of exercises adapted to you and your endurance level. It will also gradually increase the level of difficulty so that your endurance improves as well.
Excited to try some of these exercise apps for the gym? Keep in mind that the right one can help you to get the results you've been looking for. Check them out and choose one that's right for you.It might interest you...

The Philadelphia 76ers as a whole have had a lot of offensive success in the first two games of their Round 1 series with the Washington Wizards. They scored 125 points in their Game 1 win and then scored 130 in Game 2 as they have gotten contributions from everybody.
There is one Sixer who is off to a terrific start and that is Tobias Harris. The veteran out of Tennessee is averaging 28.0 points and he's shooting 57.1% from the floor through two games as the Wizards have not had much of an answer for him.Buy 76ers Tickets
A lot of Washington's defenders are a little smaller than Harris and he can use his height advantage there. Then, when the Wizards throw a bigger defender at him, he can then use his speed to be able to get a bucket that way.
"Biggest thing is I'm just taking my time," said Harris. "That's the first thought in my mind and use my strength first. If a guy can hold all this weight, my speed, and skill, and at the end of the day, just be able to rise up and shoot a shot."
Harris has had a couple of sparring partners to get himself ready for the postseason. He has called on Paul Reed, who is a bigger defender, as well as Rayjon Tucker to be able to step in and provide him a more athletic defender to try and attack. That has allowed Harris to see different types of defenders and prepare for them.
"That comes with a lot of prep work," Harris explained. "I prep a lot with Paul Reed and Rayjon so I get two different feels. Paul is a really good post defender with his size and length and Tuck is a really physical guy. Both of them foul out every time, but they give a good match. It's about the work that goes on behind the scenes to be able to get to those spots. I appreciate them for pushing me."
This has been a continuation of Harris' strong regular season where he shot 51.2% from the floor to average his 19.5 points. This has continued his star transformation under coach Doc Rivers who has unlocked his full offensive potential.
"A big emphasis for me was being more equipped and ready to finish better at the rim," Harris explained. "I think that has opened up a lot of things for me throughout this year. Finishing verse contact and getting to my spots. That was the biggest thing that I worked on in the time we had his offseason."
Playing on a team like the Sixers where he has two All-Star teammates in Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid along with Rivers' guidance has been helpful for his success in both the regular season and the playoffs.
"Being able to figure out where my spots on and simplify the game," he finished. "All those things have been able to add up and when you're out there with a team and different guys that compliment your game, in a good way, that also helps that improvement, for sure."

I know it seems rough right now. Life's been testing you and you can't help but wonder if falling in love is really in your path, in your destiny. You've fallen in love and gotten your heart broken by more boys than you'd ever like to openly admit. Trust me. I get it. I am you. The girl who wears her heart on her sleeve. The one who falls in love far too often and far too deep.
Here's the thing – every failed relationship just means you're one step closer to finding something real. Or maybe that's just some cheesy line us single girls spew out, I can't ever know for sure. Maybe I'm just naive.
But, a part of me still believes in it all.
They say love is like riding a bike. It's one of those things you never forget. You can fall off your bike, find yourself with a skinned knee or two, and yet you'll always get back on. Maybe that's how love works, too. You can find yourself in a cycle of failed relationships, you can get your heart broken and shattered into a million pieces. And yet, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Every broken piece can be mended and rebuilt.
I know it seems rough right now. But there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. There's always hope for a better day. A better relationship. A better love.

Tell us if you've heard this one: it's bad luck for a black cat to cross your path. It's a common superstition! Because of it, black cats have developed a bit of a poor reputation and are considered unlucky in general. But whether or not you believe black cats are bad luck, you might be wondering how this notion got started in the first place.
Possible origin myths
The association of black cats with bad luck can be traced back centuries. In 1233 AD, Pope Gregory the IX declared black cats to be an incarnation of the devil. Many citizens started to purposely harm black cats because of his conviction. In time, black cats were associated with witches. In Puritan New England, black cats were believed to be witches' accomplices or witches in disguise. Though our belief in witches has since dwindled, the black cats' negative connotations have remained.
Black cats in other cultures
While black cats don't have a great rap in the US, in other cultures they are thought to be quite auspicious. Japan considers black cats to be good luck, as do certain parts of England. In Scotland, it is said that a black cat arriving at your house brings prosperity. In Ancient Egypt, black cats were treated like royalty. And throughout history, sailors have believed that keeping a black cat on board a ship keeps misfortune away.
Black cat adoptions
Unfortunately, the black cat's reputation has adversely affected their chances for adoption. Studies have shown that it takes longer for black cats to get adopted from shelters than any other cats. While there is no proof that it's because of superstition, it's hard not to discount the possibility of bias.
Some shelters have to take black cats off of display on Halloween due to disproportionate demand for them. To help combat the negative stigma, the US has Black Cat Appreciation Day, a day meant to celebrate black cats and encourage their adoption.
Do you have a special little black kitty of your own? We'd love to see pictures of them! Find us on Facebook and Instagram!

ORCID iDs provide researchers and academics persistent digital identifiers to distinguish
themselves from others.
They have quickly become a standard for distinguishing between, and providing a common reference to, individuals in
tools, services and content within academia. They are used in this API to allow additional context and information that
may be provided by an individuals ORCID record.
Note: ORCID iDs are a user led initiative and therefore may not be available for all individuals.
ORCID identifiers are formatted as a URI (e.g.
https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1825-0097). They should not be split or otherwise
modified. When displayed, ORCID's display guidelines should be
followed in full.
Note: ORCID iDs are not yet supported in the BAS Style Kit, however this is
planned. Until support is available, it is recommended to use the
Academicons icon font for future compatibility.
GRID IDs provide academic organisations and research institutions persistent digital identifiers
to distinguish themselves from others.
The GRID (Global Research Identifier Database) acts as both an authority (assigning identifiers) and as an aggregator
of other authorities identifiers for the same organisation to provide increased context. They are used in this API to
allow additional context and information that may be provided by an organisations GRID record.
GRID IDs are formatted as identifiers only (e.g. grid.496779.2). They should not be split or otherwise modified. When
displayed, GRID IDs should be shown as a linked identifier by adding https://www.grid.ac/institutes/ as a prefix.
DOIs provide objects such as academic journal articles and datasets persistent digital
identifiers to enable durable references to these objects, even as the services that host them change.
Digital Object Identifiers are used extensively in tools, services and content within academia. They are used in this
API for referring to publications related to research projects and grants. DOI metadata can be used to provide
additional context and information using services such as

Playstation Progress Update – July 27th 2017
We've been working hard on the PlayStation port, and we wanted to provide an official update on our progress. We have Brawlhalla running on PS4 right now, but are still cranking away at getting everything optimized. Our goal is still to get the game out this year, and a hard release date will be announced later in the PS4 Closed Beta. We know the PlayStation community is excited about Brawlhalla on their favorite console, and we are too!
If you want to sign up for the Brawlhalla Closed Beta you can do so at beta.brawlhalla.com.
If you want to get beta access immediately you can purchase the PS4 Founder's Pack on the PlayStation Store as of August 1, 2017. (You also get some exclusive rewards, and every Legend unlocked forever, even after Brawlhalla launches!)
Below are answers to some of the common questions we've been asked about the PlayStation version of Brawlhalla. If you have more questions about Brawlhalla on PlayStation that aren't answered here, ask us on Twitter!
What is the release date for Brawlhalla on PS4?
Our goal is to launch in Summer this year. We'll update the website here with more information as we get closer to release.
Will there be a Vita or PS3 version?
Right now PS4 is our primary target. After that, we will revisit what other targets make sense.
Will there be any cross platform functionality?
We are currently approved to have cross platform play! The only caveat is that it will only work while the two platforms are on the same patch. Our goal will be to keep them on the same version as much as possible. Cross-play is not currently live, but we're expecting to have it up later in the PS4 Beta.
Will I be able to use my Steam progress on PS4 (account progress / items / etc)?
It is possible we will have a window with a one time port, but you won't be able to use the same account on both platforms.
Will PlayStation Plus be required to play online? – No.

One of Kenmare's oldest buildings, The Lansdowne Kenmare was built in 1790 as the town residence of William Petty Fitzmaurice, 2nd Earl of Shelburne, and it's been at the heart of the town's activities ever since.
Known until recently as The Lansdowne Arms, it was one of those nice old-fashioned hotels that every town used to have and - although there have been changes since it changed ownership early in 2021 - the hotel and the local community have been very fortunate in the new owners, Francis and John Brennan of 5-star Park Hotel Kenmare, which is just across the road.
At the time of purchase, the Brennan brothers were already doing major work at the Park, but taking on a new hotel doesn't seem to have fazed them at all and the necessary refurbishments were completed in time to open when Covid restrictions were lifted in July of the same year - a remarkable achievement by any standards, and very sympathetically done too.
Having great respect for traditional town hotels as a wonderful social resource for the community, the Brennans saw the purchase as an opportunity to revive what is one of Ireland's oldest hotels. They wanted "the guest experience to be wonderfully casual and the property restored to the landmark it and Kenmare deserve" - and, with no major structural work needed, they have completed the restoration beautifully, and with a light touch.
Similar to the new look at the Park, the decor is light and bright, with soft pastel shades complementing fine architectural details - including the magnificent front door which opens at a welcoming angle onto the main street. You can go in via the streetside LK Café too, but it's much more fun to make an entrance through the lobby.
General Manager Kasia Riebandt - an old hand at the Park for the previous five years - moved across to lead the team (which includes most of the former staff) and there's a real sense of pride in this lovely 'new' hotel with its smart new look and traditional values.
Guest rooms vary, as is the way with old buildings, and while they may not all be large, the pleasingly unfussy decor and emphasis on the things that matter - good beds (dressed with linen from Francis Brennan's range for Dunnes Stores), good lighting, and proper traditional bathrooms with bath and shower - will make for a very comfortable stay.
Breakfast is served in a very attractive long dining bar, which has a lovely big terrace off the far end and makes a pleasing bistro-style destination later in the day, when an X Oven brings a casual charcoal flavour to the menu.
All round, The Lansdowne Kenmare is a seriously impressive achievement. It's a labour of love for the Brennan brothers and the renovations and upgrades are ongoing, so they were delighted when the hotel was awarded 4 Star status by Failte Ireland in 2022 - a meaningful recognition of their commitment to bringing this grand old lady back to her best.
No wonder The Lansdowne Kenmare so quickly became a favourite destination in this delightful town.

This is not the best first post, it is only a tribute.
Hi, thanks for reading this. My name's Elijah. I'm an engineer in the Salt Lake City area. I'm originally from Texas though. I came to Utah for the mountains and the nature.
I work full-time as an Electrical Engineer for a local Salt Lake Company doing hardware design. I've been doing hardware design for the last few years since graduating in 2017 with my B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of North Texas.
I hope to use this website as a place to share my personal projects. Anyways, I think that's enough of an introduction. I'm going to go try and work on some electronics.

Installation-performance, Ex-Teresa Arte Actual, Mexico City.
Two backhoes equipped with hydraulic hammers (driven by specialized operators) confront each other. While the backhoes stay still each hammer tries to do a beat sequence by hitting the other (tip against tip) while eluding the blows of its opponent.
In this work, the brutal movement of the machines becomes an image of human brutality. When these machines are taken out of their usual context, construction sites where they go unnoticed, they remind us of the postmodern boom of robotics, and pseudo-robotic activity becomes a parody of human activity. It is a mechanical reference to a sexual clash, to a macho competition, combat, and war.

Alan Chang
nato il 4.12.1979 a San Jose, CA, Stati Uniti d'America
Alan Chang
|Alan Chang
Alan Peijei Chang (born December 4, 1979) is an American pianist and songwriter, best known for his work with Michael Bublé. Originally from San Jose, California, he graduated from USC's Thornton School of Music majoring in jazz studies in 2002.[1]
Chang began his passion for jazz at Castillero Middle School. At the age of 13, Chang began accompanying nearby Pioneer High School with their daily musical rehearsals as well as a local dance studio. When Chang attended Pioneer High School he soon received local recognition for his playing[2] and by his senior year he had recorded an independent "senior project". The CD included original compositions and was sold locally to recoup recording expenses. Later that year Chang was selected as one of two pianists to the San Francisco High School Grammy Band.[3]
After graduating USC's Thorton School of Music, Chang was discovered and asked to audition for an up-and-coming artist, Michael Bublé. Since 2003, Chang has been Bublé's musical director and pianist, traveling the world to sold-out shows, radio, and television appearances.[2] In 2005, Chang co-wrote "Home" with Bublé and Amy Foster-Gillies.[4] By 2007, his writing credentials included "Everything" and "Lost", both off of Bublé's album, Call Me Irresponsible. Most recently, Chang co-wrote and co-produced tracks from Buble's release, Crazy Love. Chang co-wrote the first single, "Haven't Met You Yet", and the second single, "Hold On". Also, Chang was a co-producer on the tracks "Stardust" and "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You". For Bublé's 2011 Christmas album, Chang co-wrote the only original song, "Cold December Night". He also arranged Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.
On November 15, 2011, Alan produced and released the inspirational holiday album, "Cold December Night." "["http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/cold-december-night/id480043295]" The album is "melancholy interpretations of Christmas songs envisioned by various members of Michael Bublé's touring band."
In addition to his writing credentials with Michael Buble, Chang co-wrote two tracks with singer Josh Kelley on his album, To Remember. The tracks are "Walk Right In" and "More Than Love". Chang also co-wrote "Stargazing" for X Factor's champion, Leon Jackson. The track is on his debut album Right Now.
Chang is also a member of Los Angeles area rock band formerly known as The Cosmic Giggle.[2] The group's new name is The Good Night.
While a student at Pioneer High School, Chang was a member of the group BVC.

BC Randonneurs Cycling Club
Cycling Clubs / Posted 4 years ago / 616 views
The mandate of BC Randonneurs is to organize rides in accordance to the rules of randonneur cycling as practiced by Audax Club Parisien in France. BC Randonneurs was a founding member in 1983, of Randonneur Mondiaux which organizes brevets 1200 km or longer worldwide. Randonneur Cycling is sometimes referred to as marathon cycling and can be described as fast long-distance cycling. The activities of the club and the general information about the sport is discussed more fully elsewhere on this site on this page:
