Review-Roundup: Koufuku Graffiti 02, Death Parade 02, Aldnoah.Zero 14
Seriously, it's frigging mustard, they're talking about! One of the sandwiches has mustard on it! How old are they? Ten? Mustard isn't a bullet that will kill those girls. On the other hand, Diabetes might considering how they are fawning over sweet stuff…
This time I review:
Koufuku Grafitti 02: Turns out just visiting on the weekends hasn't led to Kirin marrying Ryou and moving in with her. Therefore she's depressed when she finds out that she doesn't know EVERYTHING about Ryou. That's how familial relationships work after all. Also, foodgasm is a thing in this series, I believe.
Death Parade 02: Remember the first episode? Yeah, but let's face it, what we needed was an extensive walkthrough of that episode's narrative, right? Maybe this episode will reveal who had killed the butler in retaliation for kill… Oh, wait, wrong series, I must have fallen asleep while someone has been trying to explain the obvious to me…
Aldnoah.Zero 14: After months of the Vers-Empire dominating the war, the Earth-resistance has finally remembered it has a space-station with a whole battalion of mechas ready to start a fight with the Martians. Also, Inaho still kicks ass and Slaine has to deal with the jealousy of his beloved princess' sister.
Koufuku Graffiti 02 Review:
If the series actually wants to be about how great good cooking is then it should be a little bit more descriptive than that.
I liked the first episode of this series quite a bit and this episode is pleasant as well but this episode also proved my fears correct. Let's face it: This series is pointless right now. And it's really weird how both this episode and the previous one work perfectly fine as standalone-feel-good-slice-of-life-anime-episodes. The way this series focuses more on the emotional context than the realistic one and how these two episodes play around with low-stakes-drama that starts and gets resolved within the same episode, you just don't get a lot of substance from this series. This second episode is just like the first where I would've been perfectly fine with dropping the series and leave it be. These episodes don't give the audience any motivation whatsoever to keep watching. This is a series you don't drop out of hate, this is a series you can drop out of sheer ambivalence. In fact, the most poignant criticism you can level against this series at this point is "Who cares…?!".
I forgot to mention one thing in the previous review: This series is produced by Shaft and well-known anime-director Shinbo is doing his typical Shaft-anime-adaptation-thingy. At this point I think everybody will have seen enough to Shinbo that his staff doesn't actually need him around to do his job. Close shots, zooming in closely on one particular thing, slow-mo head-movements that end up in weird positions, flashcuts to abstract imagery – this series already feels very Shinbo-esque visually speaking. But compared to some other Shinbo-series, this one hasn't been going overboard with that director's ticks. Although who knows what would happen if Shinbo would direct an anime that stylistically seems down-to-earth, realistic and gory, maybe Shaft will sue him for trying to fix something that ain't broken considering how popular Shinbo's style still is. I'm saying that because all the Shinbo-isms in this series feel pretentious. Instead of stylizing the narrative on-screen, it's like Shinbo is waving his hands in front of the screen in an effort to remind the audience that he's directing the damn thing. When a director becomes too overbearing the style of a series or a movie becomes something that distracts you from what is actually going on and that's exactly what Shinbo's style is doing here. It seems almost arbitrary how all the Shinbo-isms are used here and most of them don't serve a purpose.
Kirin's and Ryou's relationship continues to go down a very Yuri-esque route despite all the talk of family. A stereotypical Yuri-romance nowadays is the equivalent of having a sugary donut shoved down your throat. And the fear displayed by Kirin in this episode that she isn't as close to Ryou as she thought is underlined with such drastic despair that it's hard to think of these two as just cousins who have become good friends.
Usually you would establish a back-and-forth for a friendship that underlines the honesty that the friendship allows for both of them to display. In a stereotypical friendship you want to show how the friends support each other in times of need. The reason why the relationship of Kirin and Ryou seems romantic is that they don't just want to support each other, they want to be liked by the other person. In a stereotypical friendship the scenario of one friend revealing a new facet of herself would lead to the other friend either trying to help her friend to overcome her problem or supporting her in pursuing that positive aspect of that friend's characterization. Stereotypical friendship is pretty much selfless. It's the romantic relationship where characters don't want to just help but want love in return. You basically take a friendship but add the need for approval and furthermore the fulfillment of the wish for a romantic relationship. A friend tries to seem reliable but a romantic partner tries to seem dependable. The difference is that a friend is a character that can be approached for help but a romantic partner is someone the character is supposed to approach for help first. That doesn't mean this series actual is a Yuri-romance. There's hardly anything romantic about these two episodes. The Yuri-elements only exist as subtext right now pretty much. Add to that an all-female-cast and it's easy to notice how Yuri the whole thing is.
But this series is actually about food, right? I've already talked about the obvious sensual context of consuming good food due to how the "camera" focuses on the lips of characters and usually shows the characters in a state of bliss while eating. This episode, though, adds drawings to its repertoire of emotional expressions. This series isn't about food, or art for that matter. This series only uses these things to express the emotional undercurrents of a scene. After all, the first episode made a point of showing how enjoying food isn't really a matter of cooking but a matter of company. And in this regard it's poignant that Ryou's aunt would end up eating the sandwich with mustard since she started eating by herself. Her horrible experience with eating in this instance is in direct correlation with the series' ethos of how food tastes best in good company. In that regard the visual presentation and the voice-acting of the whole thing are indispensable. The script itself is far too shallow to actually find poignant words for the joy the characters are feeling and there isn't a lot of reflection happening either. The series really is just delivering these fuzzy warm feel-good scenarios that are driven by low-stakes drama. I don't hate the series but it's just fine and not much more. The more cynical approach to this would be to describe it as simply forgettable because it doesn't offer anything worthy of note to the audience. So, if you're in the mood for a trivial feel-good-series this one does the job, I think.
Episode-Rating: 6.0/10
Death Parade 02 Review:
Argh! I hate it when that happens in a dialogue scene! Never let an exchange be a statement and another character asking whether that first character meant what he said! It never should be like "This is what happens." and then someone else replies "You mean, this happens?". I don't care if some people even do that in real life. Let's just assume that everyone is smart enough to not restate the obvious and be fine with that.
Well, that was a curious choice for a second episode. An entire episode focused on explaining the first episode. Usually you have the first episode serve as a bit of an "appetizer" in order to arouse interest and get the viewer's interest. The second episode will then draw back from the first episode and try to establish the status-quo in a more serious manner. In this case, the first episode's been used to present the premise of the show which is (at least) two people competing for who's the nicer one of the two.
I have to give this series credit for this episode: Normally a series like this one wouldn't go out of its way to reflect on a case like this. The most interesting element of this episode is the idea that Decim can be fallible. That's a pretty big deal if you think about it. Usually in these "supernatural judgments"-series the supernatural judges are somewhat infallible and it's only up to the mortals to find some way to redeem themselves before judgment hits them. But this episode establishes the premise that the judges actually have no idea how to judge who before the to-be-judged people arrive. Despite the supernatural help, Decim doesn't seem to fully grasp what had been going on in the first episode.
That said, I don't think it had been necessary to spend that much time on the first episode's couple. Most of the subtext had been pretty obvious to me – with the exception of the wife's declaration that the baby wasn't her husband's. That declaration came right at the end of the episode and essentially proved the husband right in suspecting his wife to be unfaithful to him. Did she tell the truth when she said that? Normally I would've said that she's trying to take the blame for what the man she loved has done but… here's the thing: Like I've explained in the previous review, this series' premise uses sudden flashbacks to push the characters into a certain direction. And this episode hints at the judges actually manipulating the to-be-judged people using their memories (which the to-be-judged people conveniently have forgotten) is also a nice premise for more morally grey future episodes. But the whole episode is really just restating the premise from the first episode and adds a few, albeit interesting details to it.
The thing with these supernatural-judgment-series is that it should NEVER get formulaic. It's very easy to establish a comfortable rhythm and repeat it ad nauseam. Crime-Procedurals have the same problem in that regard. With these kinds of premises you establish a formula to subvert it again and again. After all, no matter what your premise and episodic formula is, it will get predictable at some point if you don't subvert the whole thing or add new elements to it. So, hopefully this series will manage to do that but this episode focuses on another possible solution for that problem: characters.
You don't necessarily need to change the formula for the episodes, of course, if the audience is already satisfied by just following charismatic, likeable characters around. And this episode would have been a good attempt to establish the main-cast of this show, their rapport and what the meta-story of the show is. But like I've said, most of the episode the characters just talk about what happened in the first episode. It isn't so bad as to be called a recap-episode but considering how little this episode actually adds to the series despite its changed point-of-view, the series would've been better served with using its tidbits of revelations at a later time.
Ultimately it feels like this second episode is basically the series relaxing while throwing a few new bits of information at the audience. The episode doesn't really do anything with the new information about the premise it offers and the rest of the time the episode basically just spends explaining the first episode. Maybe if you've watched the first episode and weren't able to follow the whole thing you might need to watch this second episode but anyone else doesn't really need this second episode.
Episode-Rating: 5.5/10
Aldnoah.Zero 14 Review:
I guess, Inaho's character-arc is supposed to be him becoming more and more like Data in Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Space, mechas, princesses, talented teenagers, battles: Aldnoah.Zero starts to feel like a Gundam-clone. The first season of this series had started out with the despair of every Earthling (Slaine included) being confronted with a wholly pointless war whose origin was based on a lie – that one being the death of the Vers-Empire's princess. Said princess, though, ends up travelling with a ragtag-team of earthlings, one of whom is super-smart. This dude basically becomes that princess' personal knight. At the same time, her former best friend is struggling to find his place within the empire as he figures out who's behind the attempted assassination of his beloved princess. Ultimately he decides to block out reality and make the best of it. Now some time later he's a respected knight within the empire but surprisingly his rival has survived. Inaho, the super-smart earthling is hellbent on getting his princess back and that basically puts him on a collision-course with Slaine (not very surprisingly, I might add).
Aldnoah.Zero has become a very narrow-minded soap-opera that seems to have lost touch with its starting-point. After all, let's remember how this series started: The Vers-princess is coming to Earth for a diplomatic visit but ends up getting killed by Earth-terrorists – allegedly. In retaliation for that the Vers-Empire attack Earth – and they basically overwhelm whatever little defenses Earth still had left from the last war. Whoever survived became a fugitive, none more so than Inaho & Co who had the actual Martian princess among the crew. The whole thing led to a gamble that would end this pointless war but ultimately most of the involved characters died trying to achieve that. Considering how nihilistic Saazbaum had been in initiating this pointless war this seemed like a fitting ending.
But now this episode shows scenes of Earth-military planning attacks and unleashing whole battalions of mechas. When I said that it feels like this Earth-Vers-Empire-War went back to square one, I didn't imagine this whole thing to be exactly that. I mean, there's barely any resistance on Earth left – and the Vers-Empire bothers starting a space-battle with a puny space-station? That space-station probably can't survive on its own without food-deliveries from Earth and since the Vers-Empire had already conquered most of Earth in the first season, that space-station won't stay active for long… or at least that's how I would like to interpret the narrative of the first half. It certainly feels like this series is suddenly treating Earth as this stubborn nest of resistance that somehow against all odds managed to beat back the Vers-Empire. All of a sudden we're not following a bunch of survivors fighting for their lives while trying to stop a pointless war against all odds, now we're watching a bunch of underdog-heroes trying to fight for justice and to free a princess. I have to admit, I liked the premise of the first half more.
Also, considering how the first half did a real good job of establishing the pointlessness of the war and then reveal a villain who was all about "All wars are pointless! How about instigating a war that is as suicidal as it is easily winnable?!", we're now safely in the narrative territory of battles having become tools of righteousness. When Inaho is killing Martians left and right, the episode doesn't want to show us how much of a sociopath Inaho is, no, the episode wants us to celebrate Inaho for being such a cool dude. And Inaho's genius is already getting tiresome. Seriously, I liked it in the first half when he was the underdog who beat his overpowered enemies using deductions and other smart stuff but the first half had established this in a very thorough manner. It's time to move on. And no, turning Inaho into even more of a robot is NOT the solution when I say "move on". That's just another tiresome shounen-stereotype to deal with raised stakes by giving various characters a power-up.
On the Vers-Empire-side the new princess Lemrina is certainly the most interesting character right now. She actually has some depth and you can really see that by how much dramatic weight her actions have. Serving as a replacement for her more popular sister while also hating the whole family, wanting to get Slaine's affection while also hating her sister he's actually in love with and in general the manipulative attitude she shows: All that makes her the most interesting character right now. It's a bit dull how the "good princess" is this avatar of purity and innocence while the "bad princess" is manipulative and resentful but whatever, you take what you can get, right?
I still like watching this series but so far I can certainly say that I don't like the direction of this series' narrative. I probably would've been more satisfied with what the first season had done except I would've added another episode exploring the aftermath of the finale where Inaho, the princess and Saazbaum had died. With the hero, the damsel-in-distress and the villain dead, the only surviving character was the struggling rival of the hero. I mean, in general it would've been an interesting idea to just clear the board by killing off most of the cast of the second season and then let the few survivors enter a second season with a wholly new cast and let those characters deal with the consequences of the drastic events of the first season's finale. You would get intriguing character-scenarios like that childhood-friend of Inaho who's obviously in love with him but never confessed to him and now the object of her love has died before she had ever could've been honest about her feelings for him. That would've been a good way to subvert anime-tropes: You present them in a typical fashion and then you interrupt their arcs with a heavy dose of realism. But yeah… that's totally not what this second half is going for. This series is playing it safe and devolves into a soapy space-opera. At this rate it will get boring and/or dull at some point, I imagine.
Episode-Rating: 6.5/10

Lewis Hamilton & Nico Rosberg blame each other for Spanish GP crash
Last updated on .From the section Formula 1
Lewis Hamilton said he felt "hurt and disappointment" and had apologised following his crash with Nico Rosberg but did not accept blame.
The two Mercedes drivers collided on the first lap of the Spanish Grand Prix, with both retiring from the race.
"I apologised to the team," Hamilton said. "To not deliver... whenever it happens, it is a painful experience.
He added he "saw a gap and went for it. I was a significant portion alongside and I had to avoid a collision."
Rosberg countered: "I saw Lewis closing in so as soon as I could I closed the door to the inside with a clear, strong move to make sure he understands there is not going to be space there, and I was very surprised that he went for it anyway. That's it. Then we were in the sand trap."
The incident means Hamilton remains 43 points behind Rosberg in the World Championship with 400 available over the remaining 16 races.
Hamilton had started from pole but was passed around the outside by Rosberg on Turn One. But the German then lost power through Turn Three as a result of being in the wrong engine mode and Hamilton closed in at a speed difference of 17km/h.
Hamilton dived for the inside on the run to Turn Four but Rosberg defended by coming right across the track. Hamilton took to the grass, where he lost control, and spun into his team-mate, taking both out.
F1 rules dictate that if a driver moves to defend his position he must leave a car's width if the attacking driver has a "significant" part of his car alongside any part of the car in front.
Listen to Hamilton and Rosberg crash
TV pictures showed Hamilton had his front wing alongside Rosberg's rear wheel while he was still on the track but stewards decided not to punish either driver.
The stewards' verdict said Hamilton "had a portion of his front wing inside [Rosberg] small fractions of a second prior to [Hamilton] having to leave the right side of the track to avoid an initial collision, which may have led him to believe he had the right to space on the right".
It added Rosberg "had the right to make the manoeuvre that he did and [Hamilton's] attempt to overtake was reasonable, and that the convergence of events led neither driver to be wholly or predominantly at fault".
Hamilton said: "Today we lost 43 points and there is only two of us part of doing that.
"The apology is that on my behalf I didn't score those points for the team. These things happen but it is the right thing to apologise just like when the engine fails they say sorry to me."
Asked whether Rosberg had also apologised on that basis, Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff said: "I think he said he understood it was difficult for the team."
He added: "It is clearly not that each of them feels he is entirely faultless."
Wolff said it was "an incident that could have been avoided from both sides" and added that the two drivers would still be allowed to race.
He said: "I am going away angry and upset but isn't that what racing should be all about?"

Proverbs 29 English Standard Version (ESV)
29 He who is often reproved, yet stiffens his neck,
English Standard Version (ESV)
The Holy Bible, English Standard Version. ESV® Text Edition: 2016. Copyright © 2001 by Crossway Bibles, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.
Proverbs 29 New International Version (NIV)
29 Whoever remains stiff-necked after many rebukes
2 When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice;
3 A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father,
4 By justice a king gives a country stability,
5 Those who flatter their neighbors
6 Evildoers are snared by their own sin,
7 The righteous care about justice for the poor,
8 Mockers stir up a city,
9 If a wise person goes to court with a fool,
10 The bloodthirsty hate a person of integrity
11 Fools give full vent to their rage,
12 If a ruler listens to lies,
13 The poor and the oppressor have this in common:
14 If a king judges the poor with fairness,
15 A rod and a reprimand impart wisdom,
16 When the wicked thrive, so does sin,
17 Discipline your children, and they will give you peace;
18 Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint;
19 Servants cannot be corrected by mere words;
20 Do you see someone who speaks in haste?
21 A servant pampered from youth
22 An angry person stirs up conflict,
23 Pride brings a person low,
24 The accomplices of thieves are their own enemies;
25 Fear of man will prove to be a snare,
26 Many seek an audience with a ruler,
27 The righteous detest the dishonest;

Football Player Recovers from Cervical Spine Trauma
The Arkansas Tech Wonderboys defeated Southeastern Oklahoma State Oct. 27, 2018, ending a four-game losing streak and marking the first time in 26 years the Wonderboys defeated the Savage Storm on the road.
With 46.5 seconds left in the game, the Savage Storm still had a chance to win. They were within scoring range on the fourth down with seven yards to go. Arkansas Tech was leading 10-6. The opposing quarterback passed the ball through the middle. Arkansas Tech linebacker CJ Johnson went in to break up the pass, preventing the first-down.
But Johnson didn't get up from the tackle. After a few minutes the crowd at Paul Laird Field in Durant, Okla., fell cautiously silent as they wondered if he'd be okay.
"I remember I blacked out," he said. "When I came to, I couldn't see anything and had trouble breathing."
Johnson was taken off the field on a stretcher board and immediately taken to a nearby hospital where they realized he had a severe neck injury. Later that evening he was transferred to UAMS for further care including emergency surgery.
"He severely fractured his fifth cervical vertebrae," said orthopaedic spine surgeon, David Bumpass, M.D. "Fragments of the fracture were pushing backward onto his spinal cord."
Johnson was fortunate to arrive at UAMS when he did, Bumpass said, because that type of fracture caused the spine to be unstable and would have likely led to a spinal cord injury – leading to permanent loss of strength or function. He'd already felt numbness in his left arm.
"It was like a full-body stinger," Johnson said. "It was painful. At one point just the air in the room was painful to my hand. Heat packs would help."
To repair the fracture, Bumpass went in to the front of Johnson's neck. He removed most of the fractured vertebrae. He then replaced it with an artificial bone graft and a plate to give it the spine additional stability.
Johnson stayed in the hospital a few days and has recovered significantly.
"His long-term function and prognosis will be great," Bumpass said. "He should be able to do anything he wants in life, other than play football again. It's been rewarding to see his recovery."
Though he'd played football since he was a toddler, Johnson says he's not too heartbroken he won't be able to play anymore. He's focusing on securing an internship as he prepares to graduate from Arkansas Tech University next spring with a degree in electrical engineering.

"It makes life hard," Sharon Ross said.
"It's just brazen isn't it?
"It does impact the business because we've got to get another vehicle to replace it.
"It gives you a horrible feeling, knowing someone's been outside your house and touched your stuff.
"It's an invasion of privacy."

Gorgeous flower, quite unusual looking..almost like its from outer space?! :) Speaking of unusual looking, I'm here to warn you I've posted about the softie swap (cookie looking softie alert!)...so if you want a surprise don't look :)x
I love kangaroo paws. I collected a whole bunch for my front garden.
I just thought I'd say hi from the state next door and mention how much I adore the background on your blog. Beautiful colours.
I'm looking forward to reading through your entries.

INDIANAPOLIS (Friday, Oct., 21, 2016/National FFA Organization) – The National FFA Alumni Association strives to support FFA many different ways. This year, at the 89th National FFA Convention & Expo, the FFA Alumni awarded the Washington County FFA Alumni Chapter for Washington County, Kansas, the Outstanding FFA Alumni Chapter. They were awarded due to their support of their local FFA Chapter.
Washington County FFA Alumni support their local FFA Chapter through several activities. The alumni chapter serves as an advisory council to assist the ag science instructor in selecting the ag curriculum while also including the parents in the selection process. This allows for enrollment in the ag science program to rises as adjustments are made to fit the needs of the students and skills of the instructor.
Finically supporting students is another way the Washington County support their FFA Chapter. The alumni held a Fun Auction to raise money. The alumni raised $13,275 to send 47 students to Kansas FFA Leader Lab, Washington Leadership Conference, Kansas and National FFA Convention & Expos, state conference for chapter leaders, and various camps along with providing college scholarships.
"Our members are very involved with the organization. The more you put into it, the more you get of it for the kids," Rod Stewart, Washington County FFA Alumni member, said. "This is just an award for our members to show that they are very involved and it shows with our chapter."
The National FFA Organization provides leadership, personal growth and career success training through agricultural education to 649,355 student members who belong to one of 7,859 local FFA chapters throughout the U.S., Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

No Drawers For Me
Filing drawers do not work for me and I was tired of filing by pile!
You could say a paper truck threw up.
When redoing my new office, I drew up a design with the contractor, measured the size of my folders and the amount of space each one took up. Voila...I created vertical storage.
Many of you are extremely neat when it comes to office organization. I have not been blessed with that attribute!
Since I got a gorgeous new desk...I wanted to be able to see it. That would not be possible the way I have worked in the past!
Take a look at my vertical storage.
And I still continue to say ...

Me and a small group of European travelers at Lands End San Francisco
Among many performing highlights of 2015, I have had the pleasure to expand my minimal private life and host many international travelers in my home AKA Velocity Circus headquarters. Occasionally a visitor of great talent shows up and of course – I put them to work in one of our productions!
There are far too many fascinating and meaningful encounters to note; however each varied guest, disparate traveler and distinct person with whom I have encountered and shared time has changed and inspired me for the better. Overall, through the cultural exchange, both my and their horizons have forever expanded.
I have recently had a repeat guest named Alvise who is an Industrial designer from Venice, Italy.
He is working on project in San Francisco designing fabric and garments that will be produced by means of 3D printing.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, I still work making costumes by hand, stitch-by-stitch.
Alvise and I are opposites in every aspect of life, yet have forged a true friendship during his short visit here.
Based on his experience in my home, with my arts crew, and witnessing my ever-changing, always-adapting philosophy, he wrote this very special "review" which deeply resonated with me and that I choose to share with any readers here:
"Sometimes you listen to a song or you read a sentence or do whatever, and this thing changes you. I did change somehow every time I've been in Greg's house of happiness. Touring his world gave me the kind of dream-like feeling that I had watching Lynch's Muholland Drive, everything has the right to be in his own form and position, the whole picture though is imperceptible or subject to interpretation. Gregangelo literally can't stop putting himself in the position of changing continuously because this is a truly curious and eclectic man, and since changing yourself changes the way you see at things around you, he is experiencing the place he created himself each time differently. That's why he won't be able to explain himself the whole pattern if you are lucky enough to be invited in this incredible place. And believe me if you are, you want to go. He is talented, funny, unpredictable, and a good friend now for me in the city, amazing careful host, and it's a true honor for me to have a look into his life and meet the nice people he is surrounded by. Thanks Greg. Sorry for this cheesy reference, but you are a very special man."
-Alvise Rizzo
Veneto Italy
Alvise is a rare and special man who stands out among my many guests.
He is expansive in his thinking, active and adaptable in his philosophies, very present and sincere, playful and unafraid, and is as interesting himself as he is interested in the world around him.
Overall I find Alvise to be a gentle and unassumingly inspiring man with a magnetic and comforting presence.
I look forward to continuing to meet new friends, share meaningful time eye-to-eye with people in the real world and find new inspiration from folks whether they are just passing through, or here to stay…

Day 2 water truck day
Yo yo yo. Quick shout out to the families for allowing us to go on this amazing trip! It has already passed all expectations that we have had. We think it's safe to say we all stepped out of our comfort zone and learned something new today. Today we worked the water truck and carried buckets of water with the Haitians. These people are extremely thankful for everything they have, and are so willing to also give up any of it for the people around them. Love is in Haiti, and today we had the honor of receiving it in so many ways. From hugs from the children, smiling to those around you, and looking into the kids eyes you could see the love they had for life. God blessed us with the ability to see a new part of His kingdom and its beautiful. We have the opportunity to learn from the people of Haiti, they teach us the importance of showing love for others and being grateful for what you have. The children with so little want to give so much, and that is quite humbling. Today has been eye opening and has really set the tone for the week. We are ready to get back out tomorrow and grow deeper in our faith and learn some more from all of the people we encounter! Peace out till tomorrow.
Much love everyone,
Britt and Lauryn :)

Day 3 Highlights From Amazon India Fashion Week 2016
They say there's always a first time. And that's what the 27th edition of Amazon India Fashion Week 2016 was exactly about. Accessories took centre stage in a first-of-its-kind accessories show. Designers Nitya Arora, Vasundhara and Sahai Ambar Pariddi showcased eye-catching designs that varied from quirky and edgy to chunky and OTT. As far as sartorial expressions were concerned, there was a lot to take a cue from on DAY 3 of AIFW 2016. While some designers didn't really impress, there were others who had their WOW moments. Read on as I dissect each designer's collection keeping in mind the use of fabric, colour, cut, and style.
Mine of Design by Sahai Ambar Pariddi
Aquatic inspiration was what Sahar Ambar Pariddi showcased through her creations for her AW 16 collection titled Memoir. It was jaw-dropping, to say the least. Using hues of silver and gold, there was no ebbing throughout Sahai's collection, which used everything from iridescent pearls, corals, shells to even vintage coins. From layered neckpieces with jhumkas hanging from them to edgy palm cuffs, fringed bracelets to shoulder dusters, Sahai worked magic through her collection.
Hauterfly Pick: This stunning gold multi-layer neckpiece with iridescent coin-like pieces. Love the giant nose stud; such an off-beat piece.
Valliyan by Nitya
Nitya Arora has never disappointed when it comes to her accessories collection. In fact, her brand Valliyan is for the fearless woman whose style is a melange of edgy and bold. Titled Modern Mughals, Nitya rewound the Mughal era and paid homage to the craftsmanship of those times. Despite the grandeur of her pieces, which included head gears, luxurious neckpieces, huge rings and opulent earrings, she maintained the intricacy in each design.
Hauterfly Pick: That three-piece headgear with a large choker that had red drops hanging from it made for a funky piece. Nonetheless, what I want to include in my bauble box ASAP is that giant floral-inspired brooch; such a timeless piece.
Everything from flora to fauna caught Vasundhara's eye when she was working on her collection titled Au Naturel. The treasures of Mother Nature in the form of twigs and branches, filigree leaves, integrating natural rocks, even insects and bugs were an inspiration for the designer. Edgy, complex, yet understated, happened to be the memo of her collection. Wrist chains, headgears, chokers, neckpieces that reach the navel, Vasundhara's collection was a visual treat.
Hauterfly Pick: This neckpiece inspired by a palm leaf that was teamed with butterfly-shaped danglers.
Chandrani Singh Fllora
A tribute to Shiva, Chandrani's collection Mrityunjay was easygoing in silhouettes that were Indo-Western. Working symbolic prints like the trishul, cannabis leaves and even conch shells, Chandrani used muted shades like charcoal grey, indigo, rust and midnight blue. The outfits ranged from floor-length wraps with scarves that ended as trailing sashes, ruched full-sleeved dresses, bomber jackets slipped over draped saris, and more.
Hauterfly Pick: A tri-collared floor-length dress in shades of brown, yellow and green, with conch shell print.
Pinnacle by Shruti Sancheti
Celebrating cross-culture on the ramp was Shruti Sancheti with her collection titled Constantinople. Though she worked with modern cuts, her creations mirrored a time when the Sultans ruled; paisleys, geometric mosaics and clamp dying was the core of her display. Garments like midis and long-pleated skirts, capes, peplum shirts, maxis, culottes and even wide-legged trousers and shirt dresses were what Constantinople comprised. While some hemlines were asymmetric, other garments showed off the cold-shoulder and cut-out trends.
Hauterfly Pick: This indigo blue kurta with unconventional slits that was teamed with a printed pair of cropped pants.
Minimalist, gender-bending styles were the work of the hour at Antar-Agni. Dhoti pants, asymmetric kurtas and waistcoats made up Ujjawal Dubey's AW16 collection. The sartorial genius worked a neutral palette of hues which ranged from black, white, grey and maroon. Talk about relaxed, easy-going and most importantly ungendered clothing at its best.
Hauterfly Pick: A pair of dhoti pants teamed up with a full-sleeved top and cropped jacket. LOVE!
Divyam Mehta
Into The Woods was an eclectic collection that had quite a global influence. Frankly, it was perfect for the modern man, not to mention highly swoon-worthy. Divyam mixed shibori patterns and quilted techniques on fabrics like silk, linen knits, merino wool and khadi. There were samurai trousers, cropped pants, and even long jackets to look forward to in this display.
Hauterfly Pick: A pair of samurai trousers with a buttoned jacket over a shirt.
Rohit Kamra
With the modern maharaja as his muse, Rohit Kamra's collection was understandably regal. Also, the very dapper Randeep Hooda made an appearance on the ramp and I've got to say, the man makes one helluva showstopper. Bandhgalas, achkans, Nehru jackets, tailored pants and more made out of Rajasthani khadi, wool silk and linen wool blend were what this show was made out of.
Hauterfly Pick: This black achkan teamed with a neutral trouser.
Mynah by Reynu Taandon
One of the first to have a show that had a strong tribal influences (another designer was Anupama Dayal) Reynu Taandon's Meeting Coachella was perfect east-meet-west clothing. It is inspired by the globe-trotting woman whose style makes a statement. White, red, mustard yellow and black made up the colour story of this collection which was full of suede and felt fabric. There were boxy crop tops, flared trousers, long jackets with dramatic collars, belted sheath dresses and more.
Hauterfly Pick: A cold shoulder top with puffed full sleeves that was paired with a belted trouser in mustard.
Anupamaa by Anupama Dayal
Another designer to boast a tribal-influenced show, Anupama Dayal's Fight & Feast witnessed stunning Naga influences. Hues such as tangerine, spice green and ultramarine blue used on khaki and blends of silk made up this collection. There were motifs like drums and elephants on garments that ranged from culottes, off-shoulder tops, kaftans and crop tops to flared trousers and knee-length dresses. One captivating detail was the headgears; they added to the fierce vibe of the collection.
Hauterfly Pick: This animal motif wrap dress is such a quirky yet smart piece.
In what looked like an outlandish mix to take inspiration from, Sanchita drew influences from both the milky way and the Memphis Art Movement. The garments were a mix of boxy, A-line and voluminous as far as silhouettes were concerned. There were cropped tailored trousers with sweatshirts, net tops with asymmetrical skirts, sparkly skirts teamed with long relaxed sweatshirts, bomber jackets and more. While the semantics were artsy in approach, the styling gave off a very Sia-esque vibe, don't you think?
Hauterfly Pick: A tailored cropped trouser with a top that was teamed with a shimmer long jacket.
Pankaj & Nidhi
The last show of the day was one everyone was waiting for, and Pankaj & Nidhi did not disappoint. Bold and edgy with the perfect military flavour (that was the inspiration for the show), the tailoring was crisp, and the garments made use of stunning embellishments and applique. Sleeves were dramatic in some while hemlines were unusual in others. There were floor-length gowns, military jackets with tailored pants, sheath dresses, shimmer gowns and more. All in all a brilliant end to Day 3.
Hauterfly Pick: This edgy shirt with shiny tasselled embellishments that made for sleeves, paired with a flared trouser that had shimmer on it as well. STUNNING!

Unidentifiable appliances causing thousands of household fires a year
Between April 2016 and March 2017 (the latest year for which data is available), there were more than 2,100 household fires where fire services could identify the faulty appliance that caused the fire, but not its brand or model number. As a result, these crucial details were only recorded for a third of the 3,203 household fires caused by faulty appliances in the UK that year.
That's a significant drop from the previous three years, when fire officers were able to identify the make and model of the appliance in question in almost half of all cases.
The number of household fires caused by faulty appliances remains too high, having hovered at around 3,200 per year – more than eight fires every day – in three of the last four years.
Combined, these laundry appliances cause more than three fires every day and account for nearly four in ten of all fires caused by faulty household appliances.
Faulty appliances must be identified
When manufacturers are made aware of a possible fault with one of their products, they carry out a risk assessment to try and determine the likelihood and potential severity of a fire involving that model. If the level of risk is deemed to be high, the manufacturer should (but has no obligation to) issue a modification programme or a product recall. The more fires there are where the make and model of the faulty appliance is unidentified, however, the less likely that is to happen. For example, if a certain model of washing machine has been deemed to have caused 10 household fires, a risk assessment might consider that to be low risk, relative to the number of units sold. But the actual number of fires caused by that model may well be far higher.

text: We often say that we believe all children can learn at a high level, but when it comes to black children our belief may just be in platitudes. Dr. Danny Martin says "it turns out that across research, policy, and practice the brilliance of black children has never been axiomatic…the prevailing discourses about black children has been heavily invested in talking about their mathematical illiteracy, their mathematical inferiority as the primary identity of black children." Black brilliance isn't something that is considered self-evident and therefore without need for proof. In fact, most education debates around "closing the achievement gap" are premised on the idea of black deficits in comparisons to white performance.

Ghost stories as we know them did not develop until the late nineteenth century, but the restless dead haunted the premodern imagination in many forms, as recorded in historical narratives, theological texts, and personal letters. The Penguin Book of the Undead teems with roving hordes of dead warriors, corpses trailed by packs of barking dogs, moaning phantoms haunting deserted ruins, evil spirits emerging from burning carcasses in the form of crows, and zombies with pestilential breath.

The Nikkei/IHS Markit Services Purchasing Managers' Index rose to 52.2 last month from a four-month low of 50.9 in September, holding above the 50-mark that separates growth from contraction for five straight months.
Activity in India's dominant services sector increased at its fastest pace in three months in October, driven by a strong pick-up in new business, a private survey showed on Monday.
The Nikkei/IHS Markit Services Purchasing Managers' Index rose to 52.2 last month from a four-month low of 50.9 in September, holding above the 50-mark that separates growth from contraction for five straight months.
A sub-index tracking demand jumped to 52.4 from September's 50.1, which, accompanied by a slower increase in both input costs and prices charged boosted overall activity and encouraged firms to accelerate hiring at the fastest pace in six months.
"Cost pressures faded in October. At the same time, a robust expansion in workforces one of the best seen for over seven-and-a-half years added to firms' expenses," noted Pollyanna De Lima, a principal economist at IHS Markit.
"The waning of cost inflation, coupled with competitive pressures, resulted in only a marginal uptick in charges."
Some firms said tougher competition was preventing them from lifting their prices.
Weaker cost pressures, alongside a decline in oil prices, may prevent inflation from shooting above the Reserve Bank of India's medium-term target of 4 percent.
The central bank surprised markets and kept interest rates on hold last month after increases in June and August. But it did shift its bias from "neutral" to "calibrated tightening".
Stronger services activity and better-than-expected growth in manufacturing led a composite index to increase to 53.0 last month from September's 51.6, with employment rising at its quickest rate in nearly eight-and-a-half years.
"A positive outlook is by no means assured, however. With business expectations about future activity dropping to the lowest for 20 months in both the manufacturing and service sectors, firms are becoming more guarded in the face of growing uncertainties," added de Lima."The sustainability of current market conditions and political worries both weighed on optimism and pose downside risks to growth."

The enemy and the jews are essentially the only and one element on this world who came up with the idea of attacking, perverting, and finally, attempting to dislocate and remove the Gods literally from existence. The Gods were made into low class "demons", they were defiled, their inheritances left to humanity attacked, or attempted to be removed. The people who followed the Gods as their own children, burned and desecrated or literally made extinct in many cases. There was not such higher historical attack or act of disrespect by the acts of the jews.
Not only that, but their 'replacement' happened in the most defiling, aggressive, and murderous manner humanly possible. All the people of the Gods were mercilessly murdered by the retards and slaves the jews had recruited, led by the jews. Even mainstream history is made to blame the people who did these actions like the "Christians", but if one goes back in time, or looks closely at the so called "Christian Leadership" which drove these insane actions, one only sees jews, all over again.
As to the reasoning of the jews in regards to these actions, there is no reason to this either, that is founded upon logic. The jews themselves write it was all done to dominate and destroy people of the earth, and exact vengeance on superior people like the Romans whom they observed as their superior, and were jealous of them. The very same thing was pulled on other people of the ancient times, for no reason whatsoever. Just for the jews to loot, pillage, and enjoy of the downfall and destruction of these people.
Other than that, the 'superior' plan is equally retarded coming from the jews, it's just an alien hive boasting of it's destructive power, and just saying all in all that this world needs to be rallied, malformed, and destroyed, simply because of their own vision about the world. This is what they write in "Christianity" and in Judaism, where there is absolutely no valid reasoning as to why the world has to be turned into shit - it just has to happen because "God" aka the sickly kikes said so. As to where this ends up one can look in some Islamic countries today, and think where they were hundreds of years ago. This should be enough to understand how the jew imagines the world, a desolate place without life or purpose, like they are on the inside themselves.
As to why people naturally hate the jews, I will tell you the reason, aside the superficial reasons that arise from time to time. It's because of all the crimes they have done. While people may not be consciously aware of these, they hate the jews so much, because these are registered on the back end of our racial minds, souls, astral realm, and basically even written history. The greatest proof of these crimes is no further to be searched than the bible and the quran.
So people lash out on the jews all the time, but without being fully aware as to why. Marcus Eli Ravage the jew admitted this is also because of essentially their destruction put on Gentiles, and their mind viruses imposed on the populace, which make people become angry as if someone was injected with lethal poison.
Everyone feels the imprisonment of the jewtrix, and people hate the jews for the crimes they have done, spiritually and materially. The proof of many has been erased, but imagine, the existing proof is still enough to generate endless reasons and endless hatred, which should also notify people as to what these people really mean. This comes soaring through the souls of Gentiles as the breath is exhaled from the lungs, the so called 'hatred' which the jews always try to dodge by calling people "insane".
Even Tacitus on his time in the Roman empire wrote the jews have so much hatred about the Gods and anything about them. As to why this is the case, the jews also answer to their own - they come from other 'gods'. When this is understood in the light of the info today, this is pretty simple and deals with another faction of aliens than the one represented by the Gods who have helped us around for thousands of years.
Due to mistakes many have perished but the people who stood by the Gods have remained alive and life, even in such difficult conditions that life pushes forth on itself, has survived regardless, and with some degree of quality. This was created by the toil and deaths of centuries, which, look at Europe today how the jews that rule it, treat. Countries created in centuries are being rallied by uninvited monkeys to their own destruction, with jewish eulogies.
This is just the program of the jews playing on repeat. As one Rabbi said vocally in "Facebook" - because of course jews can use this to spread "hate", "America is the new Esav and Roman Empire" implying it has to be subdued and destroyed, perverted and corrupted. All of the crimes are constantly on the repeat by this tribe.
All the work of the Gods to generate better and spiritual people, was trashed and destroyed by the jews. The same people the Gods instructed on Astronomy and Astrology or other sciences like mathematics, found themselves, due to jewish dogma, trapped in nonsense and full ignorance for thousands of years. There are people still today who are stuck permanently on this level without the hope of escaping, or with their escape being extremely hard.
Many people have hated Islam, Christianity, or Judaism, but what about the minds, souls, and people that created and given birth to these? And who for all these centuries, have repeated the same process of annihilation on people repeatedly, without anyone even deserving any of this destruction? The jews bastardized the Roman empire out of existence, and now, a good 15 or more centuries later, they insist on doing the very same things until their enemies are extinct.
The Gods are beneficiary beings and helpers of mankind, and it only makes sense the jews will attack them, and that the Gods will hate the jews. As for the stance of the jews in all of this, one needs only to open their racial texts and read that they want to kill, enslave, and ban the Gods out of existence. Isn't that more than enough for the Gods to hate them forever and without exception?
The pathological rabbi and symbol of goyim slave love, "Jesus Christ" or "Rabbi Yeshua" in the jewish dictionary, says that he will smash all the unbelievers like pots when he arrives. The believers too since they are not jewish, but who cares, let's ignore this line goyim. As to other things that are promised to happen also, we have the destruction of the planet, the largest portion of the planet dropping dead, including other "BEAUTIFUL" events and "LOVELY" events caused by the jewish wet dream.
All Gentile people, in war or in peace, always had a common understanding, at least on some level, of the Gods. And they accepted the Gods under different names, because all in all, this is the inheritance we have of spiritual understanding, which is the most important possession of humanity. Only the jews could never accept anything like that. And if you pay close attention, there is nothing existentially evil like let's say the Ancient Greek Pantheon or anything like that. To any sensible person, it would make sense.
Replacing this with pedophile prophets, lords of murder like "Christ", or some other rabbinical figure, is at the very least, extremely stupid or weird. But we know it's more than that it's a conspiracy.
If you lived for ten thousand years there would be no illusions in these matters, the lifespan of individual people would look to you as something simple. The 'forgiving people' towards the jews, would always be excusing 'individual jews', a sole 'good jew' (a thing like that does not exist) and you would observe that by excusing this 'good jew', you just gave birth to 10 more jews that essentially want to keep practicing all of the above. 9 out of 10 which would want to naturally kill you. 1 of them would be the good jew so that you would keep them around and always excuse them. This is a vicious circle that never ends, in which 'forgiveness' is just hypocrisy.
As for the enemy, they understand the same thing. So they want to extinct all their enemies like White people to the last one, because of the above. The added weight of jewish crimes makes it also dangerous for anyone whom they have wronged to exist in the same form over and over again, as this will at some point bring heavy and merciless retribution or a settling of accounts.
For such reason the jews rally in full speed the bastardization plan in a way to kill the frogs without putting them in boiling water, lest they jump out of it. Slowly and in ever increasing speed, they will racially bastardize and extinct their enemies, or so they think, without agitating the race of War to fight war against them, in which situation, the jewish race would be flattened in around 5 hours total.
The jews will never be accepted by the Gods or by Satan, in anyway, shape or form. As for this there are two statements to support it. For one, the jewish statement that this is punishable by their own 'gods' and 'impossible', and the second aspect of it is that the jews are a detestable and hated race by the Gods, now and forever, for all the continuous crimes they have done, and what they are on a fundamental level which can never change - their jewishness.
The fact that from the times of the Romans or before, the jews haven't change one inch, while other people have adjusted or evolved or went by the times, should notify people that this is not some sort of joke. We are dealing with a race determined to destroy everyone else because they themselves are mentally insane. One just needs to read the "Mitzvot" they practice many of which say that they need to kill Gentiles in their lifetime in order to attain "salvation" and wage war at them based on imaginary events that never happened against the jews, to name only ONE example.
The jews say they were innocent about the supposed gassings that never even really happened against the 60 gorillion of them. Since they are innocent, let's just quote them on their own work here:
"We are commanded to eradicate the nation of Amalek, wiping any vestige of them from the face of the Earth. The reason, as discussed in the previous mitzvah, is because of the cowardly attack that the Amalekites made against God when He took the Jews out of Egypt. Apparently, God knows that certain traits are ingrained within the descendants of Amalek. Nevertheless, many people find this to be a very troubling mitzvah. As historic victims of inquisitions and pogroms, they ask, don't we find it inconsistent to justify genocide?
We can understand this mitzvah better if we realize that the Amalekites had the opportunity to turn their backs on the ways of their nation and be spared their fate. (This is very different from the way in which Jews were treated in, say, the Holocaust.) As with other nations, Amalek had the opportunity to accept the seven universal (Noachide) laws and submit to Israel's rule. Not only that, they could convert. The Talmud in Gittin (57b) famously tells us that Haman had descendants who taught Torah in B'nei Brak. (Many authorities believe this to include the renowned sage Rabbi Akiva, who was known to be from B'nei Brak and who was descended from converts.)"
As to who this "Amalek" thing is, it has an occult connotations (Those that don't like the jews) and a racial one. For the racial one:
"When Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany visited Jerusalem during his journey to the Holy Land almost all the religious leaders of Jerusalem came to the city gates to greet him. Rabbi Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld (d.1932), the spiritual leader of Ashkenazic Jewry in Israel at that time, did not go. When asked about his refusal he answered that although the Kaiser himself was deserving of the honor bestowed upon him, "I have a tradition that Germany is Amalek."
As to what the jews want to do to the 'disbelievers' who do not comply with their racial mind viruses and hoaxes, classified under "Amalek":
Amalek, the Bible tells us, is an evil nation that is to be wiped out completely. We are not even to spare Amalek's cattle, to say nothing of Amalekite women and children.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/what-happ ... ple-amalek
Makes you wonder why jews in Europe are not stopping the rape and murder of children by expulsion of the mudslimic monkeys with which Europe is infested with. Or why they never bothered to remove chrisitanity which is the worship of a reject rabbi as national religion. At least, they are following their Mitzvot correctly, as the jews they are.
Isn't it a bit sensible at this point that the Gods who have took care of us for thousands of years, tens of thousands, are interested to end this madness and pay the jews with their own shekel for all of this?
The psychopathy of the jews and their plots will not pass. They must and will be spiritually obliterated. Do not let idiots tell you that the Gods favor these pieces of humanoid trash, who have attacked them for centuries, and ruined all the glorious works of mankind progressively and repeatedly with the mental viruses generated by their sick minds.
As to those who "worship the Gods" who are displaced, attacked, and had their existence literally outlawed from our life and pretend to even be their "FOLLOWERS", and still cannot figure out that the enemy is responsible for this giant crime against them and all of us deserving retribution. What can anyone say.
We cannot find most of the information about literally our own past because the church destroyed it, or some jews like Philo burned the greatest libraries with all the world's knowledge in them. Another act of the "INNOCENT" race.
We were all forced and rallied to worship jewish idols by force of threatening penalty of DEATH for thousands of years now and even now we are perceived as insane by the very races and people who a few hundred years back worshiped our own Gods. If these do not look to you like crimes deserving of at least retribution and setting things in the straight order, nothing can help you anymore than a lobotomization can. The thought that for our belief in the Pagan Gods we can be killed an tortured, socially exempt, and attacked, should notify you that you need to do something spiritually and mentally amend this tragic situation.
Doesn't that notify you to say that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH?
This can be achieved by legal and normal means of distributing information, activism, doing spiritual warfare, and just uncucking yourself in front of something that is weak, but grows by your ignorance, which is the enemy and their plots.
The World Is Ours - This Is and has ALWAYS been OUR World - Wake Up and Reclaim!

Calcium, Calcineurin and the Control of Transcription
Gerald R. Crabtree, The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.
Calcineurin (PP2B), a serine threonine kinase controlled by cellular calcium, was originally identified by Klee and colleagues in extracts of mammalian brain. Within the past few years this phosphatase has been implicated in a wide variety of biological responses including lymphocyte activation, neuronal and muscle development, axonal pathfinding and morphogenesis of vertebrate heart valves. Progress in this area has been greatly accelerated by the drugs cyclosporin A and FK506, which use a unique mechanism of action to achieve near genome-specific nanamolar inhibition of calcineurin. This minireview will focus on the role of calcineurin in regulating transcription during development, primarily through its dephosphorylation of downstream targets, such as the cytoplasmic subunits of the NF-AT transcription complex.

Nick Mohamed - The Forer Factor - One4Review
Nick Mohamed is a totally new name to me. Whilst his show 'The Forer Factor' is not one of the most hysterical shows I have seen at the Fringe. I can say I love several of his characters and think some of his ideas are brilliant. His use of pre-recorded tracks and demonstrations of timing are superb. I would like to think that this young man will get an Edinburgh Fringe following and return again and again with more of his inventive shows. ***

Getting employees to speak up and report wrongs they see can be hard.
Quite often, if there is wrongdoing happening in the workplace, there are employees who know it's happening.
Yet perhaps they don't have confidence, courage, or incentive to speak up.
Blowing the whistle is a very stressful situation for many.
It's very easy to lose focus at work when employees know they are about to, or already have, blown the whistle on a colleague or manager.
We're partnering with MindWell-U, a leading HealthTech firm, and esteemed professor, author and ethicist Dr. Mary Gentile, to kick off 2018 with a complimentary webinar:
How to Encourage Employees to Speak Up (Not Shut Up)
This one hour webinar will cover:

As part of our coverage leading up to the 2017 NFL Draft we will provide profiles of more than 100 prospects, including a scouting report and video interviews with each player.
John Ross, WR, Washington
6'4" | 218 lbs.
2016 stats:
81 receptions, 1,150 yards, 17 touchdowns
First round
Scouting Report:
"Ross is an instant-impact weapon who scored 23 touchdowns in just 112 touches. He should be able to step right in as a kick returner and a slot receiver, but teams with speed at tight end might utilize him outside to create extreme vertical stress on opposing safeties. If his knees check out as healthy, Ross is a likely first-round pick with the rare ability to become a high-volume slot receiver or a lesser-targeted, high-yield deep-ball threat." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
Video analysis provided by Rotoworld and NBC Sports NFL Draft expert Josh Norris.

Communicating with our tax dollars
This Open letter to Canadian Journalists should really be read by readers of Canadian media as well, as it affects all of us, and our right to know what our government is doing in our name and with our tax money:
A question to ask your Conservative - and other visitants - during the current election campaign is:
Civil servants – scientists, doctors, regulators, auditors and policy experts, those who draft public policy and can explain it best to the population — cannot speak to the media. Instead, reporters have to deal with an armada of press officers who know very little or nothing at all about a reporter's topic and who answer tough questions with vague talking points vetted by layers of political staff and delivered by email only.
Politicians should not get to decide what information is released. This information belongs to Canadians, the taxpayers who paid for its production. Its release should be based on public interest, not political expediency.
This breeds contempt and suspicion of government. How can people know the maternal-health initiative has been well thought out or that the monitoring of aboriginal bands has been done properly if all Canadians hear is: "Trust us"?-- Canadian Association of Journalists, April 2011
A question to ask your Conservative - and other visitants - during the current election campaign is:
- What will your party do to repair what Stephen Harper has done to the taxpayer's ability to know how the government is spending our money?

I am on a bus, thumb typing again.
I have joined a thing called the Insecure Writers Support Group (#IWSG)!
Having filled in the forms, proven my Humanity, and pasted the HTML as requested, I believe I might now Belong.
I am certainly feeling that Something has ocurred. I have manifested a change in the bits and the bytes. There is a tremor in the Force (not the tertible kind though).
The group's January question is this:
What are your favorite and least favorite questions people ask you about your writing?
I am not asked much about my writing. In fact, I can't remember any particular question about it. The above question therefore qualifies as both my least favourite (I have no good answer) and also my most favourite (I now magically have some kind of answer) question about my writing.
Mostly, I would like to say thank you to Insecure Writers and their groups, everywhere. Please continue being Writers, and please gradually strive to become less Insecure, in order to A) become Confident/Successful Writers, and B) make room in these groups for the upcoming cohorts of Still-Insecure Writers in need of empty spots in these groups, so that they too might one day belong, in order to become Less Insecure.
I think that's how it works.
Also, I still kind of want cheese. Maybe it's a bus thing.
