Christopher Swain is swimming for a cause. This environmentalist is swimming to Washington, butstopping along the way to teach kids about water pollution.
In solidarity with Swain's cause, "Dirty for Swain†videos have launched on the internet. These videos feature women rubbing each other with car oil, drinking curdled milk, and men in bathtubs of sewage. These videos are shocking and will definitely raise awareness about environmental conversations.
Implications - Despite a company's desire to be at the forefront of the industry in terms of creative marketing and quality product, borrowing from successful concepts from the past can lead to large profits. It is no secret that sex sells and companies that are willing to bear it all will see big returns. It is imperative that companies garner the attention of consumers as quickly as possible in today's overpopulated market.

The uptake of 99mTc-MDP, a skeletal radiotracer, was studied at early and late (3 h) time intervals in rats induced with altered thyroid status. Thyroid dysfunction resulted in disturbances in bone mineral metabolism. Rats rendered hypothyroid showed an overall retardation in growth and also considerably reduced skeletal uptake, especially at early time periods. On the other hand, rats rendered hyperthyroid did not show any significant alteration of the skeletal uptake as compared with controls despite enhanced bone turnover normally observed in hyperthyroidism.

Company wash their hands.
Jeff Hardy's employers WWE have issued an official statement on the subject of his arrest for DUI this past weekend becoming the public. The company line simply notes:
"Jeff Hardy is responsible for his own personal actions. We are investigating the matter and awaiting information from local law enforcement officials."
Hardy was arrested in Concord, North Carolina at around 10:30pm on Saturday. The accident report stated that Hardy struck a guardrail with his 2016 Cadillac CTS-V sedan. TMZ later disclosed that Hardy submitted a breathalyser result over three times the legal limit.
The Raw superstar is to appear in Cabarrus County court on 16 April, where it's expected his license will be revoked for a minimum of 30 days.
WWE's statement makes it pretty clear the company is absolving itself of Hardy's actions - and that further action is possible pending communication with the relevant police officers.
In normal circumstances the incident would come as a blow to Hardy, but the timing is particular unfortunate. The former WWE champion has been out of action since September with a torn rotator cuff, and was scheduled to return imminently. Presumably, this occurrence will scupper any immediate plans to rush the younger Hardy boy back on TV.

Grant Davis has always been a risk taker. He takes care of everyone in his life. When he gives his younger sister the wedding of her dreams, he meets the woman of his. The Groom's mother. Just one dance with Abby and Grant knows that he needs to get to know her better.
Abby never thought that she would feel the attraction she feels for Grant, but it is ridiculous to even think of a relationship with her new daughter-in-law's brother. Grant isn't that much younger than her. At fifteen years older than his sister, it isn't like she's robbing the cradle, or at least not too much.
Before Grant can convince Abby to take a risk on him, Abby decides to spend one year in a teacher switch program. Grant wants more of Abby, but how can he convince her to stay with him.
I loved the characters in this book. Not one is perfect. Grant is works hard to take care of all his family. He works to get along with his ex-wife for the sake of his young daughter. Abby has raised her son and is ready to make some changes in her life. She takes her first motorcycle ride, scare to death but she's willing to take on the risks one at a time. This is definitely one that is worth the read.
The mother of the groom has three duties: show up, shut up, and wear beige. So why is Abby Roberts agreeing to a second dance with the bride's older brother, much less kissing him? After years of playing it safe, she's ready to expand her horizons--even accepting a teaching job in London--but is she ready for a sexy new man in her life?
Grant Davis agreed to walk his sister down the aisle, never expecting the groom's mother to awaken passionate feelings he thought buried. Since his divorce he's focused on his business and taking care of his daughter's special needs. But something about the way Abby holds her own makes him think this is a woman he wants to know better.
With Abby's departure looming, Grant has to work fast. Can he convince her to let go of past mistakes and take a risk on love?

Neighbourhood Watch are urging people to consider making use of free software to protect their property against theft.
One option available that can be used is Prey, an application that helps track and find lost or stolen computers and phones. The free software can be downloaded directly onto a device and allows owners to trace the whereabouts of the item if it is stolen. It also provides a screenshot of a computer's running desktop and takes a picture from computers with built-in webcams.
The software also allows users to trigger a range of actions, such as sound an alarm, send a message to appear on screen, or even lock the device from being used. The Prey software requires an internet connection to work and will attempt to log on to the nearest WiFi access point available.
It can be downloaded free from www.preyproject.com
Anyone receiving valuable gifts like bikes, phones or computers this Christmas are also being urged to register their goods on a secure web based national database. The Immobilise register allows police to reunite rightful owners with their property and is a powerful tool in the fight against theft.
To register your valuables free of charge, visit www.immobilise.com.
By just taking a few moments to register valuables on the free Immobilise database and to download the free Prey application, people could increase the likelihood of having their goods returned to them, and assist in providing evidence for potential prosecutions.
We don't want anyone to be a victim of theft this year, so please take advantage of these free registrations to help keep your valuables safe.

Sometimes panels like the Writing and Censorship session, featuring exclusively Asian writers, risk relegating issues like widespread censorship and defective democracies to non-Western societies.
Arnold Zable's efficient moderatorship ensured that the writers, more than anyone else in the room, had ample presentation time. The writers rose to the task, speaking clearly and thoughtfully about how the sinuously sinister erosion of fundamental freedoms happens, and can happen in all societies, not just the currently defective democracies outside the West.
The first speaker was Miguel Syjuco, Filipino novelist and journalist, known mainly for his multiple-award-winning first novel Ilustrado, about the anxieties of writing for and about a country where people don't read, where the people who do are consumed by what can and can't, should and shouldn't, be said. His presentation expanded on themes in his piece "Beating Dickheads" in the Griffith Review's New Asia Now collection of work by Asian writers under 45. He spoke of how we should not be deceived by the apparent freedom of internet usage and journalistic work in the Philippines. Defamation of public officials in the Philippines is punishable by up to six years imprisonment, and thanks to recently introduced laws, criticising public officials on the Internet might become punishable with even more jail time. Considering how 44.2 million Filipinos (out of a population of 100 million) use the internet, and 90% of this number have active social media accounts, the potential curtailment of free speech and especially the freedom to criticise government officials and government policies, is staggering. With an upcoming presidential election in mid-2016, citizens need opportunities to access independent information about their future leaders, and to communicate in no uncertain terms what they require of their government – and these defamation laws risk taking those opportunities away.
The second speaker was Beijing-based Sheng Keyi, author of six novels, the latest of which, Death Fugue, is a daring satire challenging official party lines about Tiananmen Square. Often she made references to the empty chair on stage, testament to the haunting absence of writers who are being imprisoned, tortured, or murdered because of what they've written. "Censorship," she said, "is like an empty chair, a ghost you don't see." Whilst censorship in China today is no longer as repressive as it was in the Cultural Revolution, it is still a serious problem. Public intellectuals and human rights lawyers risk imprisonment or the public shaming, such as exposes of their sex lives. Critiques of the government are blocked as soon as they make it onto the Internet. The problem is so bad that in order for the Chinese people to know what's actually happening in China, they have to learn English and read about their own country in the English-speaking global press.
The third speaker was Nyein Way, an experimental, avant-garde poet from Myanmar. His philosophical musings rounded out the discussion, reflecting on how the question of censorship and unfreedom keeps everyone shackled, powerful and powerless alike. "What is power?" he asks. "Poetry is power." Indeed, rather than fetishise the citizenry's woeful blindness to the machinations of political elites, he offered a more dialectical approach to understanding power and freedom. "I wanted to see kangaroos," he shared. "I know they're dangerous. But when I was in Castlemaine, I saw a kangaroo and it ran away from me. I realised that I was more dangerous than the kangaroo." Indeed, if the erosions of civil liberties grows more ferocious, more persistent, it can only be because the puppetmasters grow ever more terrified, ever more paranoid.
The session ended with a sense that it should have lasted longer, that there should have been time for the audience to engage with the writers. Lacking that, the packed venue so early in the day suggested that the writers' efforts to bravely and searingly tell the world about their governments and their people's struggles might not be in vain.

text: Peter Hobler November 17, 2014 Shifting Perspectives… Shifting Emotions Peter Hobler November 17, 2014 Shifting Perspectives… Shifting Emotions This past weekend I found myself reflecting after a dinner conversation where the other person was not at all open to some thoughts I was sharing about being able to shift perspectives and emotions.The other person replied, "You can't change your emotions."I found this to be in direct contrast to my beliefs and to my personal experience.There was a time when I may have agreed with her reply. I have discovered that being open to possibility creates seeming miracles and has definitely caused a shift in my own beliefs and ways of thinking.Thanks to The COURAGE Principle of Gratitude, I have known for several years that I can shift my perspectives when I replace my subconscious fears with Gratitude, as fear and gratitude cannot coexist. It was only a few months ago that the topic of being able to shift emotions was brought to light for me during a four-month experiential training. This insight has absolutely shifted my mindset and changed my life.Just two weekends ago, I found the old, fear based version of myself raising its ugly head. I had not understood what was being asked of me, got frustrated and started to completely shut down… a direct result of prior life's conditioning. Feelings (yes, emotions) of self-doubt, worthlessness and frustration had completely taken over, my good mood and energy had disappeared and I was stuck in this terrible place.Almost immediately I realized that I did not continue feeling this way, to be this way… for me and particularly for the other person.I went to a place of Gratitude for this Awareness, started focusing on what I wanted, i.e., to be happy, Loving, giving and aware of the other person, and within a matter of say three minutes, was able to completely return to the upbeat, outgoing, funny (well, at least to me…), Loving, aware version of me that had started the evening.It was noticed and commented on by the other person. First, that they had never seen me shut down like that, and secondly, how incredible it was how quickly I turned my mood around. The evening ended up being absolutely wonderful.So, I stand by my beliefs that it is possible to shift your emotions. I've lived it and am here to support others in learning how to do the same. It is absolutely life-changing.Note: I wish that the person who told me it was impossible to shift your emotions, can be open to shifting her own perspective on this… and open to creating the possibility to be able to shift her own emotions as it will definitely change her life. Receive Fiery Insights, based on The 7 Principles of COURAGE, to gain Clarity, find Inspiration and recognize Your Unrealized Potential so YOU can Get Unstuck. Name: Email:

Mediacoin is patent pending for a revolutionary digital publishing platform using military grade cryptography. Our competitors have allowed content to be easily downloaded, but with Mediacoin, content is encrypted using anti-piracy software. Downloading the content simply yields a locked file with no key.
All revenue generated from the content goes directly to the artist's network. This includes referrals, playlist curators (DJ's), and data hosts (seeders) and is done automatically with the artist choosing the rate per play or per view. Competitors often charge $50 to $75 per artist with additional fees every year.
The MediaCoin Token will be available to purchase and sell on major exchanges. There will be two versions of the MediaCoin Token identified by the blockchain the token operates on; Ethereum Classic (QMCT), and Ethereum (QMCTe). Both are ERC-20 tokens, and users will be able to sell tokens from the MediaCoin Platform paying only exchange fees (commonly 0.1%-0.3%). Videos and blog tutorials on and off of the platform will aim to guide users on the correct use of cryptocurrency technology.
Buying and selling MediaCoin Tokens from MediaCoin directly will be a seamless process, unlike that of cryptocurrency exchanges. No confusing wallet addresses, restrictions, or worry. Just use your credit/debit card, or paypal account to purchase or sell MediaCoin Tokens whenever you would like. Our goal is to make operating on the MediaCoin Platform as easy as checking out at your local grocery store.
In order to remain profitable, our competitors must overcharge the majority of their users to account for those that use the platform more frequently. The MediaCoin Token ensures that every single transaction costs exactly what it is worth, without possibility of even a fractional overpayment. Our pay-per-play system is designed to have minimal cost to increase the content the user is able to view.
A reward program is in development, including videos from advertisers and mobile games from reward partners, to reward users for participating. Every opt-in behavior completed will earn the user a small amount of MediaCoin Tokens to be used for purchasing content.
The MediaCoin content licenses will extend far past audio files. We plan to be a full host for all digital content including TV Shows, Movies, Anime, Music Videos, Vlogs, and otherwise censored content. All content on the platform will be flagged under properly descriptive tags to aide in parental controlling. We are currently under negotiation to license over 20 million songs on a pay-per-play basis.
The hard cap for tokens, on both ETC (QMCT) and ETH (QMCTe) is 1 Billion, with only 100 Million of each available during our fixed price token sale. The remainder of the tokens will be released through direct sales (above market price), promotional rewards to existing users by percentage (1% tokens released to existing holders if needed to meet economic targets) and for growth of the network through public bounty programs. Continued growth and development is an essential piece of our sustainability, and a pillar of our long term strategy.
Contrary to popular belief, a large increase in token price through speculation is counterproductive to our network. To reduce volatility and the potential for a sharp decline, we will provide exchange liquidity, limit news events, and restrict announcements to a predictable cycle. We hope our consistent business practices yield a peer based trading network with limited supply, deep yield reserves, stable token price, and steady trendlines.
The future plans for MediaCoin include tunneling technology requirements that will enable access anywhere a wifi, satellite, or cellular network is available. OpenWRT Router upgrades will allow secure tunneling using MediaCoin Tokens (QMCT or QMCTe) on a pay-per-MB access program. This program will enable users to purchase or sell data from one device to another using bluetooth transmission, paid per MB at user rate. Critical areas without hotspot access such as airports, hotels and sporting events will be targeted with a secure "peer to peer tunnel" fallback if needed using available networking bandwidth. Additionally, to proactively combat the threat quantum computing poses to cryptography, MediaCoin is currently developing a Quantum-Safe blockchain that is based on go-ethereum. Further details on Quantum-Safe cryptography are available in our Whitepaper.

This is my first post on travel (well apart from my travel wish-list, that doesn't count), and I decided to write about my solo trip to the Netherlands last year. I'm the kind of traveller who just cannot visit too many countries at the same time, I like the whole let's get into the culture experience.
And so, last year, I took a 8 day trip and saw everything that this tiny, but beautiful Dutch country has to offer.
Day 1: Amsterdam
I arrived in the Dutch capital right in time for lunch. I was feeling all the feels when I landed in Amsterdam's Schipol airport. This is the first time I was travelling entirely on my own, and I knew I could do this! First things first, I collected my Iamsterdam City Card and my Amsterdam Holland Pass. They are really worth it if you're going to see everything Amsterdam and Holland has to offer.
Amsterdam, and the Netherlands in general is very easy to get around. So all I had to do was to book a ticket from the airport to Centraal Station (the main station located in Amsterdam) and then switch to the metro to my hostel.
Once I checked-in and collected my bearings, I didn't want to waste any more time. So I took off with my tiny backpack and headed back to Centraal Station. The first thing I did was to take a canal cruise just to get an idea of how the city is-and it was a great introduction. I would definitely recommend this as a way to start off your visit in Amsterdam.
Once I was done with my canal ride, I took the metro to Westermarkt and walked around the area. It was a pretty, sunny day and made for a lovely stroll. I got into a tiny cafe and had my first dutch pancake (strawberries and nutella)! The waiter was Pakistani, and we got into a short conversation in Hindi. It amazes me how wonderfully we get along with our neighbours when we're abroad, and not watching a cricket match.
While in the area, I visited the Amsterdam Cheese Museum-full of delightfully flavoured cheese (and got some for my grandpa too).

Day 2: Amsterdam
Today was museum day! At first, I thought it might be a bit of an overdose, but I love museums and so I decided to make the most of my 'learning' day. I pushed myself out of bed early and took the tram to Spiegelgracht. The tram stop brings you right in front of Amsterdam's (and Holland's) most frequented museum, the Rijksmuseum (pronounced Raiks-museum). The tall, brown building marks the start of the Museumplein, or Museum plaza. The Rijksmuseum is grand and classy. I am not going to tell you more about it because you should go and see it for yourself.
I walked out of Rijksmuseum and straight into the Iamsterdam sign. And of course, I became all touristy and took a picture. A lovely German traveller agreed to take a picture for me.
My next stop was the Van Gogh Museum-and I fell in love with his artwork in that short span of two hours. My favourite by far is Almond Blossom, so much so that I got my mum a phone cover featuring it. She loves it to bits, and points to me!
My last stop in the Museumplein was the Stedelijk Museum . A museum that espouses modern art, it was a fascinating, brief visit. By the time I was done with all three museums it was well past lunchtime, and so I settled for a warm blueberry and cream waffle with a cup of coffee to enjoy the pretty sunshine.
I then hopped on the tram and got off at Spui and visited the Amsterdam Museum-a quick stop to get more on Amsterdam history. I then strolled along the cobble stoned area of Begijnhof and got a look at the not at all spooky Amsterdam Dungeon.
I eventually got along to De Pijp, an area famous for coffee shops, or basically where weed is sold. I walked in, feeling super awkward but thankfully everyone was just into their own thing. Cannabis is sold in tiny packets, but I couldn't muster the courage to buy some and so I left feeling quite dejected.
I got out of the coffee shop and into Albert Cuypmarkt, a lively, bustling shopping street. I tried my first Stroopwaffel, a gigantic biscuit covered in honey, that's the basic one, but you can get more creative versions (chocolate, of course and other kinds).
Day 3: Den Haag (The Hague) and Delft (Day trip from Amsterdam)
So the awesome thing about the Netherlands is that you can stay in Amsterdam and take day trips everywhere. It takes you just 2.5 hours to go from the northern most tip of Holland to the southern most. My first day trip was to the Hague and Delft (they're pretty close to each other).
The Hague makes a short visit. Being a lawyer, I just had to see the Peace Palace, or the International Court of Justice, a majestic building befitting the purpose it serves in upholding the principles of International Humanitarian Law. But the court visit was not before a stroll down Binnenhof, (Hague's old town) where I saw the Knights' Hall and the Mauritshuis Museum which houses the famous painting, The Girl with the Pearl Earring.
Delft is tiny! The town is literally just three or four streets. But the canal walk and the sunny afternoon made it a great visit. Sights to see are the Oude Kerk and Nieuwe Kerk (literally old church and new church) and the Markt and Town Hall. Delft is famous for its blue porcelain, and I got some souvenirs.
(Oostport, walking down Delft and Oude Kerk)
Day 4 : Zaanse Schans and Voldendam
A visit to Holland is not complete without seeing windmills! Day 4 was just that-a delightful day spent at the windmills, and watching how dutch wooden shoes are made.
I also visited Voldendam, or the fishermen's village. It is a cute, windy sea-side village rife with pungent smells of Dutch seafood cooking. Although it is commercialised, you do see folks wearing the traditional dutch frock and you can even be a clichéd tourist and get your picture clicked in one!
Day 5: Kuekenhof
I visited Holland in the spring (April 2016) when tulips were in full bloom. I spent day 5 in the large grounds of Keukenhof, surveying tulips in every colour and pattern. By the end of it, I had gotten some sort of visual fatigue and I'm pretty sure I dreamt in technicolour that night.
Day 6: Leiden
I took a day trip to the charming college town of Leiden (famous for Leiden University- the courses on tax law and air and space laws are particularly of interest to lawyers). What's interesting about this place is that it was a locked city-as can be seen from the keys above the arch through which you enter the city.
My day trip to Leiden was, for most part, rainy. But even then, the city (or town) is so breathtaking, that you don't mind a little bit of chill on your stroll. Interesting tid-bit is that you see key 'ports'- little facts about Leiden as you take the Leiden walk. I even stopped for some chocolates at Jacob's. I recommend the dark chocolate coffee filled ones, which caught the fancy of my grandfather. Needless to say, I knew who finished the Jacobs chocolate box at home.
Day 7: Utrecht
Utrecht is home to the pretty Dom Toren, or literally the stupid tower. I reached Utrecht quite early, and was on the first guided tour to see the tower. The guide was quite spunky, although the climb up (400-ish odd steps) made for a good work-out. Apart from the Dom Toren, the Markt makes for a nice stroll and the shopping centre at the Utrecht Centraal station is where I picked up little things for my friends back home. The Centraal Museum is also a good visit if you're into modern art.
Day 8: Rotterdam and some last minute Amsterdam shopping
My last day trip was to Rotterdam, and honestly there isn't much to see apart from the Euromast and some nice parks. I got bored by mid-morning so I headed back to Amsterdam. I did some last minute shopping on Kalverstraat and walked about Dam Square enjoying a joint and some frites.

Author Note: I was along in Amsterdam for Kings Day or Koningsdag in Dutch. It's a fun day of celebration where everyone dresses up in Orange (signifying the Oranje, the house of the Royal Dutch family). It's a riot of colour, and its fun to see the entire country descend on Amsterdam, just have fun, have some drinks (Heineken is available like water) and of course, smoke up.
I probably took a pretty long holiday for just one tiny European country-but that's just how I do things. I mean, I'm on vacation. I'm not the kind who loves 21 day European tours, I like to ease into things, stroll along and just generally laze around.

Ant-Man just does not work.
That's not me giving away my opinion on the movie in the first line of the review (what kind of slut do you take me for?) I mean that fundamentally, as a superhero concept, Ant-Man is broken. The best superheroes are power fantasies, that's their essential appeal. We all want to fly, that's why we love Superman. We all want to be righteous, that's why we love Captain America. We all want to be the richest, handsomest, smartest, coolest person on earth with an awesome car, that's why we love Idris Elba.
Now, of course, that's not enough on its own. But that has to be your starting point. Even the superheroes whose lives are legitimately, genuinely awful have to have some kind of vicarious appeal. Sure, logically it would suck to be the Hulk, but who, stuck in early morning traffic, hasn't wished they couldn't just pick up that bus that's holding everyone up and fling it into the sun?
But waking up and discovering that you've shrunk to the size of an insect isn't anyone's idea of a power fantasy. That's the start of a horror story. Which, of course, is what the story of Hank Pym originally was. The character was created by Stan Lee, Larry Lieber and Jack Kirby in a one-off story for Tales to Astonish in 1962. Scientist Hank Pym accidentally shrinks himself (sixties comic book scientists: buncha ditzes) gets trapped in an ants' nest (where else?) before escaping and returning to normal size and vowing never to use the technology again.
The story was popular enough that Stan decided to bring Pym back as a superhero named Ant-Man, whose powers were getting small and talking to ants. It is, at the risk of angering die-hard Ant-Man fans of which I'm sure there are…some, not a strong concept for a superhero. Aside from the essential "meh-ness" of his power set, Hank Pym just wasn't that interesting. He was in many ways a relic of fifties Marvel, when the comics were full of square, white-bread scientists battling monsters and aliens. Hank Pym was essentially Reed Richards with less interesting powers and without the fantastic villains and colourful supporting characters. And so, Hank Pym's history in comics has been one long attempt to fix the character. To start with, Marvel tried to make Hank likeable the same way Scientology tried to make Tom Cruise likeable; by getting him a girlfriend.
Tales to Astonish #44 debuted Janet Van Dyne, who also gained size-changing powers and joined Hank's crimefighting as The Wasp. Janet and Hank joined The Avengers at its founding, and since then there have only been rare gaps where one or both of them has not been on the team. But whereas Jan's distinct personality (and, let's face it, the fact that she was the only female member for two whole years) helped her stand out from the pack, Hank didn't really bring anything to the team that wasn't already brought by Tony Stark or Bruce Banner.
And so began a seemingly endless series of attempts to remake the character into something halfway cool. He got the power to become bigger and changed his name to Giant-Man. Then to Goliath. Then to Yellowjacket. In comics, like in life, you only really get one chance to make a first impression. If you think of the sublime purity of: "Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider and became Spider-Man" then Hank Pym's wild shuffling of powers and identities is the opposite of that.
And then there was…the incident.
In the eighties, Hank started suffering from mental instability and was booted from the Avengers as a result. Driven by feelings of inadequacy and suffering a complete nervous breakdown, Hank concocted a plan to programme a robot to attack the Avengers which he could then save them from and be welcomed back on the team. Janet was all "Oooookay, let's put that idea in the maybe pile." And then Hank hit her.
And that one panel is probably the single most famous panel featuring Hank Pym. Now, for context, the character was suffering from schizophrenia, had never laid a hand on Jan before or since and his guilt over this has been one of the character's few consistent traits over the years. But this panel is the reason why, if anyone outside of comics fandom knew anything about Hank Pym prior to the movie, it was that he was a serial wife beater. And, because I haven't gone skating on thin ice in a while, I would say that that's not entirely fair when you consider how many better known superheroes like Reed Richards and even Peter Parker, have hit their wives or children and it never gets brought up.
Not helping matters, when Mark Millar did his revamped version of the Avengers in 2002, the hugely popular Ultimates, which is set in an alternate continuity, he made Hank a full on psychopath who almost kills Jan by siccing his ants on her.
Sooooo, in case this hasn't already become apparent, this character has some baggage.
Marvel's original plan for their cinematic universe was to do movies of all the founding Avengers, Ant-Man included (there is even dialogue in Thor meant to subtly set up Ant-Man's movie). But Ant-Man had by far the most troubled production of any of the MCU films, and after losing its director and undergoing multiple re-shoots and re-writes, it finally debuted in 2015, years later than intended and to possibly the most hostile pre-release of any Marvel movie to date.
You see, by 2015 the clamour for a female or minority led Marvel movie was becoming deafening and instead of that Marvel was giving us another origin story headlined by a handsome white dude (not a blonde named Chris though, so progress?). And of course, it wasn't just any white dude superhero, but the white dude superhero was who was most famous for…
Yeah…tough sell.
But, against all odds, Ant-Man not only opened at number 1 but also earned a very respectable 86% on Rotten Tomatoes. Interestingly, it also attracted a larger female audience than any previous Marvel movie, indicating that female movie-goers either didn't care about the character's reputation or didn't know about it to begin with. You might say that's because girl's don't read comics, but I'd counter that it's more that girls don't read Ant-Man, because nobody does. Because, as I've already spent over a thousand words explaining; Ant-Man doesn't work. But does Ant-Man?
Let's take a look.

In the very last installment of Julianne Hough's style diary for PEOPLE, we got the full scoop on the
judge's shimmering white finale gown and those perfectly beachy waves straight from her glam squad, hairstylist Riawna Capri and stylist Anita Patrickson.

"For the final show we wanted to go out with a bang!" Patrickson tells PEOPLE. "This beaded white sexy number from Lorena Sarbu was the perfect pairing for a white-hot finale!"
Plus, it matched her amazing summer glow. "Jules is so gorgeously tanned, that the white really popped against her skin and looked amazing on camera," Patrickson explains. "And the allover beading was perfect for the occasion! As soon as she put it on, Jules and I knew it was the perfect dress to end Season 20!."
And Hough was right on board. "As you might have guessed by now, I love wearing white! It's so chic and clean and there are so many ways to play it," the judge (who did her own makeup for the show) tells PEOPLE. "This beaded gown was the perfect finish to a fabulous season!"

To go out with a bnag, Patrickson added some megawatt jewels (this is the finale of DWTS, after all) with some vintage Neil Lane jewelry. "We paired the dress with gorgeous chandelier earrings and two statement rings in a blush pink tone to keep the feel of the look soft and romantic."
Hairstylist Capri had to keep Hough's finale performance in mind when working the final hairstyle. "Since Jules was dancing tonight, we felt like her hair down and a little disheveled was best for her performance," she explains. "We decided to go with the traditional staple of 'The Julianne' style with textured waves, a ton of Unite Beach Spray and Unite Expanda Dust to maintain volume and thickness. Her heartfelt dance really looked best with the hair flying from side to side. And what better way to end the season with 'The Julianne' special?"

But she spills that the iconic "Jules" look is really more of a collaboration. "I feel lucky to have such a beautiful, fun, daring, unafraid-to-do-something-unique, canvas to work on. Jules really allows me to step outside the box and create something different week by week," Capri says. "But I can't take all the credit! She has ideas in her head that she wants to produce, and really puts my skills to the test. And 98 percent of the time it's a good idea."
While you wait for next season, check out all the details on Hough's summer Move Live Tour with brother Derek Hough.

Duterte funding Lumad, peasant murderers, sanctions budget to kill – Karapatan
Press Statement | September 14, 2017
"There is no money for social services, for mechanisms for redress, for socioeconomic programs for the welfare of the majority under Duterte's leadership. The budget is instead allocated to murderers and fascists who are enabled and protected by no less than the President. State security forces – from the police, the military, and its paramilitary forces – are not only accorded the license but also the resources to kill," said Karapatan secretary general Cristina Palabay.
Despite criticisms, Executive Order 546 enforced since the Arroyo regime is still used to legitimize the creation and operation of paramilitary units and private armies. Paramilitary units have been extensively used by the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) to implement its counterinsurgency program. Part of the 2018 allocation for the Duterte regime's counterinsurgency measure, Oplan Kapayapaan, is at least P3.4 billion for paramilitary groups. "That is 3.4 billion worth of guns, bombs, personnel, among others, that will be used by paramilitaries to terrorize peasant and Lumad communities," said Palabay, adding that as present, there are 25 paramilitary units in various regions under the direct control of the AFP.
"Veiled by the protection and command of the AFP, these violators walk around the communities they have victimized without fear of arrest," Karapatan's secretary general said. Palabay cited the cases of the killing of 19-year-old Obello Bay-ao, a Grade 6 Lumad student of the Salugpongan 'Ta Tanu Igkanogon Community Center, who was shot by 2 armed members of the Citizen Armed Force Geographical Unit (CAFGU). As of August 31, 2017, Karapatan documented at least 88 victims of extrajudicial killings in line with Oplan Kapayapaan.
Palabay added that "the killing of Bay-ao reminds us that killings are not only happening in urban poor communities, usually in line with Duterte's war on drugs campaign, but is being done with the same intensity and brutality in peasant and indigenous communities. Lest we forget, the police are not the only murderers in this country; foremost is the military and its paramilitary minions. As Bay-ao is set to be laid to rest today, the struggle to give justice to him and so many others who have been victims of State repression, as well as to hold the perpetrators and regimes accountable, will continue."
Palabay also mentioned the September 1, 2015 killing of 2 Lumad leaders and the executive director of an alternative lumad school in Lianga, Caraga. The massacre was perpetrated by elements of the Magahat-Bagani paramilitary force, a unit under the control of the 75th IBPA. She also added the case of New Indigenous People's Army for Reform (NIPAR) leader Alde Salusad who has been responsible for the killing of Manobo tribe leader Datu Jimmy Liguyon on 2012. A warrant of arrest has been released for Salusad since 2012 but due to the protection of the 8th IBPA, there is no semblance of the warrant being enforced by the authorities.
"These are not isolated cases. The targeting of indigenous peoples and peasants are systematically reinforced, enabled, and directed counterinsurgency program Oplan Kapayapaan. With the military as coddlers of their beloved paramilitary minions, and with the President protecting the military, there will never be any resolution to the killings perpetrated by State security forces. Instead of scrapping these militarist and fascist policies, the Duterte regime aggravates the situation by imposing martial rule in Mindanao, among many other deranged acts recently pursued by this administration," Palabay ended.

My pondering difficulty, my consuming difficulty
This bit primarily showed up on Element.com.
Oftentimes I'll have a look at in the middle of a interaction: I am generating eye-to-eye contact, nodding my skull, but my mental performance just shuts all the way down.browse around this website In such instances, I'm wishing to take note nevertheless i can't. My ADHD strains my relationship and also has alienated mates. Usually I'll blurt out what I am contemplating and it comes across as impolite. I am sometimes later. I dabble in elements-pursuits, marriages, job routes-sometimes offending of those with my inconsistency.
We have a thinking about problem. I in addition have a ingesting situation. Just in case it weren't for my retrieval, I may not have got the help I required for my ADHD. Still it seems like a miraculous that we can get just about anything completed-like accomplishing this chunk, such as. Your situation started off close to 4th standard. I became an inside youngster, overwhelmed by that "anxious apartness†popular of any long run alcoholic. I observed both of those better than, and afraid of, my supposedly nicely-realigned classmates. To help with making matters even more serious, my fathers and mothers transferred in and around a good deal, well, i was consistently the newest youngster.
A whole lot of alcoholics point out that imagination was their first break free of. I devoted hours building fairy properties beyond mud inside back yard, viewing, illustrating and daydreaming. I used to be imaginative and effective-except as it came to my research. When mom or dad-educator conventions got close to, I found myself rarely "working up to my opportunity.†Specified a coach, I grudgingly proven to her i could remedy the down sides. "She understands how to practice it,†the teacher said. "She just will not.â€
Several young men at my training have been diagnosed with Add in, however, it was not like at present, exactly where this indicates almost every other toddler is medicated. Not one person truly suspected I may have ADHD. At my teenagers, I dropped along with the designers, queers, punks, theater boys and girls and stoners, and right away cottoned to alcohol consumption, cigarettes and weed. I became always acquiring kicked using my art form record session for interrupting the educator-I purchased an F from the elegance but a high ranking on the exam. I had the SAT assessment intoxicated, but my perusing and creating standing happen to be approximately fantastic.
Not unintentionally, I ended up being likely to among the many top notch special event educational institutions. College had been a blur of psychedelics, cocaine, reckless sexual intercourse, excessive drinking with an outlook of "D for degree.†I finished through the complexion of my pearly whites. I moved to Nyc, did the trick within the business office, designed hard earned cash and noticed like I'd "arrived.†But 3 years of black-outs and harmful preferences after, I strike a spiritual and emotionally charged rock bottom level. I'd always aspired to be an artisan and music performer, but all I'd finished was look at my fantasies while on a barstool. Every bit as my primary university instructors had astutely described, I was not "working to as much as my prospective.â€
Then I provided by myself an additional risk. By using 12-step conferences, I purchased sober. Lifetime then improved upon fast: I got a significantly better residence, suddenly lost a number of my booze-bloat, produced new associates, experienced the short term "pink cloud†euphoria. Even hour-benefit recuperation seminars organised my care, as consumers embraced crazy intoxicated reports and emotions and thoughts I possibly could relate to. However, when I needed approximately a yr, I believed a thing was not most suitable. Subsequent to my pinkish cloud washed out, I started drifting out of in gatherings. Perhaps even the most engaging tales couldn't maintain my focus. I tried sitting down in the front row. I sat on my own control. I drank even more premium coffee. It did not help.
Again when I was consuming alcohol, my hangovers operated being a types of ADHD choice. Aided by the place spinning and my top of your head throbbing, my thought processes ended up being dulled plenty of in my opinion to treat what was face-to-face with me. I used to be self-medicating. ADHD is comorbid with most mental health situations, we settle for stress and anxiety, clinical depression and affordable confidence. Alcohol and medications is needed close these depressed-for a while-but then they'd flare up once again using a vengeance.

In Monday's editorial, the Morning Star paid tribute to those who marched, climbed and walked up Kinder Scout in commemoration of those who forced a right of way for the people some 80 years ago.
Freedom to enjoy the British countryside is such a simple, basic, obvious right that most people today don't question where it came from.
They might assume it always existed or was dropped into our laps by a benevolent ruling class.
But the truth is very different.
Yesterday's re-enactment of the mass trespass at Kinder Scout was a reminder that the right to ramble had to be fought for - just like every other right enjoyed by ordinary people.
It came not from the landowners' kindness but from the bravery of men and women willing to risk their bodies and their freedom.
They met a ferocious counter-attack from a ruling class unwilling to concede one inch of ground - and they won.
They won so decisively that today it is often forgotten that the fight ever took place at all.
But it's not forgotten in the pages of this paper or in the left or the labour movement.
Nor do we forget that the men and women who led the fight were communists and socialists - just as in so many of the other great battles between the British people and our rulers.
So as spring gives way to summer, if you go out walking then tip a glass to Benny Rothman and the radical ramblers who won you that freedom.
And draw strength from it too. Because it's just one of the rights, alongside health care, education and pensions, that workers fought so hard to win - and that the Con-Dems are doing their level best to destroy.
If we don't defend them now then we face another almighty battle to win them back.

What Dogs Are Teaching Scientists About Aging
"Ever since last summer, when Lynn Gemmell's dog, Bela, was inducted into the trial of a drug that has been shown to significantly lengthen the lives of laboratory mice, she has been the object of intense scrutiny among dog park regulars.
To those who insist that Bela, 8, has turned back into a puppy — 'Look how fast she's getting that ball!' — Ms. Gemmell has tried to turn a deaf ear. Bela, a Border collie-Australian shepherd mix, may have been given a placebo, for one thing.
The drug, rapamycin, which improved heart health and appeared todelay the onset of some diseases in older mice, may not work the same magic in dogs, for another. There is also a chance it could do more harm than good. 'This is just to look for side effects, in dogs,' Ms. Gemmell told Bela's many well-wishers.
Technically that is true. But the trial also represents a new frontier in testing a proposition for improving human health: Rather than only seeking treatments for the individual maladies that come with age, we might do better to target the biology that underlies aging itself.
A drug that slows aging, the logic goes, might instead serve to delay the onset of several major diseases at once. A handful of drugs tested by federally funded laboratories in recent years appear to extend the healthy lives of mice, with rapamycin and its derivatives, approved by the Food and Drug Administration for organ transplant patients and to treat some types of cancer, so far proving the most effective. In a 2014 study by the drug company Novartis, the drug appeared to bolster the immune system in older patients. And the early results in aging dogs suggest that rapamycin is helping them, too, said Matt Kaeberlein, a biology of aging researcher at the University of Washington who is running the study with a colleague, Daniel Promislow.
'Many of us in the biology of aging field feel like it is underfunded relative to the potential impact on human health this could have,' said Dr. Kaeberlein, who helped pay for the study with funds he received from the university for turning down a competing job offer. 'If the average pet owner sees there's a way to significantly delay aging in their pet, maybe it will begin to impact policy decisions.'" - Amy Harmon via The New York Times

Tales of the Thamasansby Casey Gilman
The Final Chapters: Mechanical Magic
Underground EncounterThe giant cavern that was serving as the Oruvian dining hall was packed. The entire population was there, seated on the cavern floor, awaiting a great feast. General Sesstaar's troops had captured a monster on the surface, and everyone excited at the fact that they were going to eat something different.
The Oruvians also had two guests in the dining hall; Strago Magus and Relm Arrowny. They had been rescued, by the Oruvians, from a rockslide and the threat of the monster. Lord Airion had asked them to stay for dinner, and the pair had accepted. They were on a long journey, and meals like this would be few and far between.
"I'm worried about Interceptor, Grandpa," said Relm, looking down at the floor.
"I'm sure he's fine. He's probably waiting for us on the surface," was Strago's reply.
"I guess," uttered Relm.
"So, I wonder what we are eating tonight," Strago tried to get Relm's mind off of her lost dog.
"I don't know," answered Relm,"I hope it's not too gross."
"You know," said Strago, who knew a lot about monsters,"There are some poisonous creatures in this area. It might be a good idea to go see what it is they are cooking."
They stood up from their spots at the head of the dining hall, and headed toward the entrance at the other side. Lord Airion would be there shortly, and he would be seated beside them, along with General Sesstaar.
Before reaching the giant entrance, they turned right, and entered a smaller cavern in the wall. After walking down a tunnel, they reached the kitchen. It was a small cavern, and didn't have much of anything in it. There was a stone slab leaned up against the opposite wall, and Strago wondered if it might be blocking the entrance to another cavern. A man dressed in the green monster hides was standing in the corner.
"Hello," he said,"Has Lord Airion arrived yet?"
"Not yet," replied Strago.
"Darn," replied the cook,"I can't start cooking until he has arrived."
"How exactly do you cook down here?" asked Strago.
"Inside that cavern," the cook pointed to the stone slab,"is a cavern surrounded by a deep pit. At the bottom of the pit, is a magma pool. It's just the right temperature for cooking, which is a rare thing down here."
"Fascinating," responded Strago.
"What about the monster, Grandpa?" asked Relm.
"Oh yes," replied Strago,"I wanted to warn you, that there are some poisonous monsters in this area. Could I please see it?"
"Sure thing!" answered the cook,"Be careful though, because it's still alive."
There was a smaller stone slab, near the cooks feet. Stood in front of it, and pulled it away. The monster charged out of the small cavern, and leapt into the cook's arms. Relm heard it bark, and realized that it wasn't a monster, it was Interceptor.
"That's my dog!" cried Relm.
"What?" the cook seemed puzzled.
"He's my pet," answered Relm,"He's not a monster."
She took Interceptor from the cook. The dog licked her face.
"Great," replied the cook,"What are we going to eat now?"
* * *
After a meal of bugs, which Relm and Strago found rather disgusting, everyone retired to their living quarters. Strago, Relm, and Interceptor were staying in the cavern that they had woken up in. The Oruvians were a little mad about having their great feast ruined, but they didn't seem too angry.
In Lord Airion's hall, Lord Airion and General Sesstaar were talking.
"So, when should our guests be escorted back to the surface?" asked Airion.
"As soon as they awaken," replied Sesstaar,"We want to get this whole thing over with."
"Yes," said Airion, sadly,"Yes, we do."
* * *
Relm awoke to the barking of Interceptor. She sat up, and saw him jumping up and down. Her grandfather was still asleep.
"What is it, boy?" she asked,"Are they still trying to eat you?"
Interceptor bolted out of the cavern. Relm chased after him. The problem with being underground was that you never knew what time it was. As she chased him down numerous caverns, she saw that everyone was still asleep.
Interceptor stopped and started barking and jumping again. Relm remembered what happened last night when he woke her up, and hoped that there wouldn't be some kind of disaster.
They had entered through the side of a giant stone tunnel. Looking both ways, Relm couldn't see an end either way. The "ceiling" had to be twenty feet high.
"Sure is big, isn't it, boy?" she said to Interceptor, who wouldn't stop barking.
"What's wrong?" she asked,"I don't see anything bad about this place."
Relm was fully awake by now, and didn't feel like going back to sleep. She saw numerous rocks on the ground, so she picked up a small one, and threw it over Interceptor's head.
"Fetch!" she cried.
Interceptor chased after it. He ran back to Relm, and dropped the rock at her feet. As Relm went to pick it up, she noticed it was shaking slightly.
"Huh?" she said.
It starting shaking more and more, faster and harder.
"Oh no!" cried Relm,"Earthquake!!!"
She fled back through the small cavern in the side of the tunnel. Interceptor followed, and they made it through just in time to see a gigantic, pale pink, slug-like creature move down the tunnel, with the speed of Doma's train. It's body was about the size of the entire tunnel. Relm looked at it, paralyzed with fear. It had small legs that looked blurry, because they were moving so fast. But within ten seconds, the whole ordeal was over.
Relm looked down at Interceptor, who was whining. The shock of the incident began to pass, and Relm started to notice that most, if not all, of the Oruvians were awake. The army charged by her, with their stone spears, and ran into the tunnel. Strago soon followed behind them, and stopped when he saw Relm.
"Thank goodness that you're safe!" Strago hugged her.
"It was awful!" she declared.
"Why were you here in the first place?" asked Strago,"We hardly know anything about this underground land! You could've gotten hurt!"
"Don't be such a worry-wart!" exclaimed Relm.
Strago couldn't help but worry. One of his greatest fears was losing her. He had a feeling that it would happen someday soon, for he wasn't really Relm's grandfather. He had adopted her.
* * *
"I am terribly sorry," Airion apologized to his guests, in the great hall,"We did not expect it to come tonight."
"I guess it's okay," replied Strago,"No one was hurt. I guess we had better be going. We are on a journey, and I want to get back home as soon as possible."
Airion gave them directions to the new-found exit.
"Perhaps we will meet again," said Airion.
"We'll come and visit!" said Relm.
"Yes," replied Strago,"Farewell! And thank you for your hospitality!"
* * *
After they were on the surface again, and their eyes had adjusted, they saw that the sun had just risen. They were fairly high in the mountains.
"If we travel along this mountain range, we should be able to reach Doma by this time tomorrow," explained Strago.
Strago had wanted to stay and help fight that creature, but they had a job to do. They also weren't very good fighters, compared to the Oruvian army.
After walking for a few minutes, Interceptor started barking.
"What is it this time?" wondered Relm. She looked to the sky, just as Interceptor was, and saw something. It kept moving closer.
"What is it, Grandpa?" asked Relm.
"I think it's some kind of bird," answered Strago.
It was flying very fast, and they soon realized that it was a fairly large, dark blue, vulture-like bird. It swooped down at Strago, but he ducked out of the way.
"Capture! Capture!" squawked the bird.
The trio began to scatter as the bird swooped down again. This time it went towards Relm. It grabbed her by the shoulders and carried her off.
"Mountain! Zozo!" squawked the bird as it flew off.
"Come back here, you ugly buzzard!" shouted Strago, as he and Interceptor chased after them. The dog was barking.
The bird was soon out of sight. Strago and Interceptor stopped, and Strago caught his breath.
"Come on, Interceptor!" exclaimed Strago,"We're going to Doma. Then, we're going to sail to Zozo!"

Despite popular belief, the Sex and the City character, Samantha Jones, is not the reason why women flock to the public relations industry. Public relations is not about opening up the hottest new clubs, rather it is an extremely difficult job being a critical role for various organizations. Jobs for public relations are growing at 12 percent a year which comes with a pay that women wouldn't get elsewhere. Female PR specialists make on average of $55,705, while the national average for female workers is $37,232.
Studies have proven that women are mainly drawn to PR because they are collaborative and social in group settings, necessary skills for PR. For female leaders to be perceived as effective, they need to demonstrate both sensitivity and strength; while male leaders only need to demonstrate strength.
"Studies have shown that women tend to collaborate more and prefer to work on teams, whereas men usually do better in competitive environments and prefer to fly solo. That male approach works well for journalists, while having a bit of a 'people-pleaser' gene probably attracts and/or makes it easier for women to excel in the PR environment," said Jennifer Hellickson, director of marketing at SweatGuru in Portland, Oregon in an interview with The Atlantic.
Besides skill sets, women are also drawn to the PR industry because of its flexibility. Women can still be that stay at home mom and have a full-time job because some work doesn't require you to be physically in the office.
The rise of women in the PR industry happened for a number of reasons and it will continue to grow. Could it be that because it is such a female-dominated field, women see it as a greater opportunity to hold a high-level position? Do women find empowerment in the PR industry, is that why they gravitate towards it? What do you think?

New Orleans-based blues band Keith Stone with Red Gravy will host a party at Frenchy's Art Gallery on Oak Street this Wednesday night, January 10, to celebrate the anticipation of their performance in Memphis next week. Keith Stone with Red Gravy will be representing New Orleans and the New Orleans Blues Society at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, an event that runs January 16 through 20. They will be competing against 210 other blues bands from around the world.
"Representing New Orleans at the International Blues Challenge is almost surreal. The history of this city hangs in the air like humidity, and the musical history is a very big part of that," says bassist Kennan Shaw. "To call it an honor doesn't begin to cover the scope of emotions!"
The International Blues Challenge represents the worldwide search for "those blues bands and solo/duo Blues acts ready to perform on the international stage, yet just needing that extra big break." The challenge is judged by professionals from across the globe who have years of experience in listening to, producing, and ultimately creating blues music. "For the IBCs we're doing an all original set of blues heavily influenced by New Orleans originators," says Shaw. "The band, with Keith Stone on guitar and vocals, Tom Worrell on keys, Eddie Christmas on drums and me, Kennan Shaw on bass, have spent a lot of rehearsal time on the arrangements and working off one another, which is a hallmark of music in this city." Shaw recognizes the blessing and the responsibility of representing such a musically renowned city. "There's no place in the world where music plays a bigger daily role, and we're taking the responsibility very serious," he says. "We're the only act representing the New Orleans Blues Society, and I think we're the first band to do so in a couple of years. So we better not screw it up!"
The band's hard work and dedication will be showcased during their performance at Frenchy's Art Gallery. Along with food, wine, and King Cake, Keith Stone with Red Gravy will also be previewing their IBC set. Plus, Shaw tells OffBeat.com, "Wednesday night we're expecting Deacon John to come by and bless the whole mess, and Al 'Carnival Time' Johnson and Walter 'Wolfman' Washington are supposed to drop by, also. And who knows who else! All in all a proper send off for the band!"
The January 10 gig serves, in part, as a fundraiser for the band's travels to Memphis, so donations are encouraged. The party kicks off at 7:30 p.m. and will end around 10 p.m. Frenchy's Art Gallery is located at 8314 Oak Street in Carrollton.

Three first-half tries secured the Regent Boland Cavaliers a 20-7 victory over the visiting Valke in their Absa Currie Cup first division match played at a very cold and wet Boland Stadium in Wellington on Friday afternoon.
The match started 50 minutes later than the scheduled start due to heavy rainfall.
After referee Marius van der Westhuizen gave the go-ahead for the game to start it was the visitors who started brightly.
Flyhalf Juan Kotze missed an early penalty opportunity and this spurred the hosts on. Eightman Zandré Jordaan made a great break and found centre Braam Gerber, who put flying winger Senan van der Merwe away for the try.
Len Olivier missed the subsequent conversion and Boland started to find their rhythm. Barely a couple of minutes later Van der Merwe caught an aimless kick by the Valke and set off along the touchline similar to how Wallaby winger Israel Folau did in the first test in the British and Irish Lions series.
Van der Merwe backed his pace and left numerous Valke defenders in his wake to score a superb individual try.
Olivier was wayward with his kicking again and Boland led 10-0 after 18 minutes, but he found the target with a penalty to extend the lead to 13-0.
Captain Franzel September barged his way over the line for the second week in a row and Olivier added the extras with a conversion.
With five minutes left before halftime the Valke had yet to show any signs of threatening the Boland dominance, but scrumhalf Anrich Richter managed to burrow his way over the line to score a crucial try for the visitors. Kotze finally came good with his kicking and belted the conversion over to narrow the gap to 20-7.
Halftime saw a change of jerseys by both teams with Boland coming out in white and the Valke reverting to their traditional red strip. Unfortunately for the spectators neither team played any rugby in the second stanza and the quality of play worsened along with the visibility due to the failing light.
Kotze missed yet another penalty and the scorekeeper remained untroubled until the end of the match, with Boland recording a 20-7 victory.
Neither coaches would have been impressed with the play on the day, but Loffie Eloff would have been grateful of the fact his charges secured their third win on the trot.
The Valke remained among the basement dwellers of the First Division, still searching for their first victory. Boland face the Eastern Province Kings next, and will know that a complete 80-minute performance is a prerequisite for any chance of winning in Port Elizabeth.
Regent Boland Cavaliers – Tries: Senan van der Merwe (2), Franzel September; Conversions: Len Olivier; Penalties: Len Olivier
Valke – Tries: Anrich Richter; Conversions: Juan Kotze

Ridges not sanded down
zondag 1 oktober 2006
fairing float no. 1
For putting on fairing putty I used the method shown on the very nice site of Henny, a builder living in the Netherlands as well. First put on ridges of putty with a candy bag, then sand them down and use the ridges as a guide for putting on the bulk of the fairing putty.

I've started to see posters around, in restaurants and such talking about Christmas. It made me think how quickly this year has gone and indeed how quickly most years, in fact every year goes.
Maybe this is because I'm busy most of the time. I know it would slow down a lot if I were not doing much as when you have more free time you are able to think more about things and also clock watch.
It'll be my birthday again in a few months then the show will probably start falling and once again I know I will be wishing it was summer with some nice weather. I've already noticed how cold it is getting so it's time to get the coats out again.Post ID: 515, posted by jase at 12:21 PM

The Coolidge Corner Theatre is taking very seriously Daniel Day-Lewis's claim that "Phantom Thread" is his final film.
The Brookline theater is one of just a few venues in the country that's hosting a 70mm sneak preview Dec. 30, and the Coolidge's run of director Paul Thomas Anderson's new movie will be the only 70mm presentation in the Boston area.
You'll recall that a rep for Day-Lewis, a three-time Oscar winner, announced last summer that he planned to retire.
"Daniel Day-Lewis will no longer be working as an actor," the statement read. "He is immensely grateful to all of his collaborators and audiences over the many years. This is a private decision and neither he nor his representatives will make any further comment on this subject."
In addition to the 70mm presentation of "Phantom Thread" — the movie officially opens Jan. 12 — the Coolidge is giving Day-Lewis a splendid send-off by featuring five films from his career in the coming weeks. Titled "I'm Finished! A Celebration of Daniel Day-Lewis," the series will include "My Beautiful Laundrette," "My Left Foot," "Last of the Mohicans," "There Will Be Blood," and "Lincoln."

After taking this awesome class, I followed the advice given here and talked to my family, it was very educational.
Here is an initial sketch
And here is the final version and some mock-ups (special thanks to graphicburger.com) for the free mock-ups.
I'll explain a little my thoughts behind this.
Both my parent's families have great qualities so it was really hard to pick the best ones to represent.
My great-grandfather left Germany to come to Mexico around 100 years ago. He lived and worked in the south part of Mexico, in a beautiful state called "Chiapas", where he and my grandfather worked in a coffee platation, we also as a family love coffee so it had to be one of the things that represented us.
The Mexican coat of arms is beutiful and is one of the symbols that define us as Mexicans, I love Mexico and since my greatgrandfather came here almost all my family members have been born in Mexico.
When my father was younger, he moved to live in Mexico City, the city I was born and I have been living almost my whole life. Mexico's coat of arms shows an Eagle eating a snake, this was the symbol the Mexicas (a prehispanic culture) had to find in order to build their city, they found the eagle and built what today is Mexico City, my hometown.
Since this is so meaningful to me I wanted to add the Eagle and the Snake to show the amazing country I live in.
Almost everyone in my family likes too cook and both my grandmothers did amazing dishes, they loved to cook for the family and you could almost always see them with kitchen utensils, so I placed them there as well.
We all love animals, so it was important for me to put a paw, as a reminder of those amazing four-legged family members we had and have.
Finally my family has always adored chess, since I was a kid I was always seeing my parents and relatives play on each occation we gathered, so this is also a very important thing in our family.
I hope you like my project and any feedback is greatly appreacited.
