Can you share with us Freudenberg's journey so far in India? What are the key growth drivers in India as well as globally?
Freudenberg is good at developing lasting solutions for its customers based on technology and values. The company has been serving Indian customers since 1920 and has 16 production sites in the country today, employing around 3,000 people. We have been growing at 20% annually in the last five years in India. We have never looked at India as an off-shore manufacturing base. We produce quality products and our objective in the country is long-term.
You have 7, out of your 11 global business groups, in India. You plan on bringing the remaining groups to India in the next 2 years. Could you tell us your strategy for this?
Our company supports more than 30 market segments with 1,000s of applications worldwide. It is a preferred supplier into the automotive market and 50% of the sales are associated with this vertical, globally. 45% or so of the share is OEMs and suppliers, & 5% is aftermarket business. But in India, it is more than 60% (from the automotive vertical). On the other hand, some key technologies and markets are not available in India as against the markets we see in other parts of the world. If one sees the contribution of the automotive market in India, it will grow faster than the rest of the world. So, the Freudenberg Group in India and Asia will be more focused on automotive than the rest of the world. Also, Freudenberg Medical is still not present in India with a local structure, which could be initiated in the coming years.
Why do you think that the Indian government's vision to bring electric vehicles to India by 2030 is bound to not happen? What is Freudenberg's vision for itself in the e-mobility market, if such is the case?
Our view is that electro mobility and autonomous driving will happen without a doubt. However, the question is how fast will this change take place? By 2030, a third of the vehicles would be electric, either plug-in hybrid or fully battery-driven. Our approach is to be ready and support our customers regardless of the powertrain they have. Besides hybrids, we will also support fuel cell technology.
Which are the markets that excite you right now?
India, with more than 600 million people under 25 years of age, offers huge market opportunities. We serve most industries in India, from automotive and energy & chemical to plant engineering and consumer markets. Our vision is to have one third of our business in Europe, Asia and Americas.
You once said in an interview last year that you want to be the best supplier in India, and India, as a part of Asia, will be a defined focus market for Freudenberg Group. How has this long-term goal worked out for Freudenberg? Can you also tell us about your further plans
for expansion in the country?
Globally, Freudenberg had undertaken a project which examined business opportunities for the company in 2050. The project findings, which are now being integrated in the strategy process, will culminate in long-term innovation initiatives. Besides, our upcoming plant in Chennai for seals will support the Indian market in the hub of Chennai. As we have production facilities in all the continents, we want to strive for local production to minimise risks, transportation, etc and to get the value chain into the country. We have already started some exports in our business groups in order to support Asian countries. In truth, some of our filtration products are also serving some export markets.

If you tune into the U.S. Open golf championship this Father's Day weekend, you may think you're watching the Dubai Desert Classic or the infamous "Brown British Open."
But the U.S. Golf Association wants you to know that what you're really seeing at Pinehurst #2 in North Carolina is the future of golf. The Washington Post reports that USGA executive director Mike Davis said this week:
"We happen to think that, long term, water is going to be the biggest obstacle in the game of golf…. It's not going to be a question of cost. It's a question of: Will you be able to get it?"
Brown is the new green. Or, rather, browns are the new greens.
Course architects, led by two-time Masters champ Ben Crenshaw, "removed 650 sprinkler heads, and they now have a more streamlined irrigation system that runs down the center of the fairways." And 35 acres of rough are completely gone. What's left on the sides of the fairways "is a combination of sand … and more than 200,000 wiregrass plants and other native grasses and weeds, giving it a look that's natural and gnarly."
The result of these changes: "Pinehurst No. 2 has gone from using 55 million gallons of water annually to 15 million, Davis said."
The WashPost asks "Why could this be, in certain regions of the country, the wave of the future? "
But of course neither the Washington Post — nor any of the other media outlets covering the brown U.S. Open — ever explains that it's climate change that makes this inevitable.
Scientists have told us that climate change is already making droughts and floods worse in the Southeast. And it's drying out the Southwest — while studies project a third of the planet faces even worse.
The USGA knows climate change is going to require golf to change. They had a big conference in November 2012 on the subject resulting in the 70-page report, "Golf's Use of Water: Solutions for a More Sustainable Game." The welcoming remarks by USGA President Glen Nager explained that among the "increasingly complex and broad challenges" facing golf were "environmental and climate pressures."
At least the U.S. Open wasn't playing in California, where prestigious golf courses have been shutting down in the face of the epic warming-worsened drought. In April, Golf Digest asked "California: How to reconcile a drought with 124 desert golf courses?":
The part of the Coachella Valley often referred to as the Palm Springs area, east of Los Angeles, is carpeted in green, 124 irrigated golf courses, many with lakes, in an otherwise parched landscape….
In the Coachella Valley, courses use 24 percent of the area water consumption.
Seriously. The latest Drought Monitor suggests the folly of that:
Though hardly among the more serious of its myriad impacts, climate change will end golf — amateur and professional — as we have come to know it in large parts of this country.

The solidarity of the Army uniforms is in the specifications. It helps them reinforce the idea that they are from one single unit, and they have equal rank. The specifications of the uniform emphasize their cohesion, regularity, solidarity, and group cooperation. The aim of OCP uniforms is that it should be suitable for all environments and climates so that they handle a spectrum of missions.
The OCP uniform is suitable for working on the flight and to conduct patrols. The advantage of OCP uniforms is that it was chosen for valid reasons such as:
- The uniforms comfort, and improved fit makes it simple for airmen to fit with the soldiers alongside in the same field
- This switch in the uniform is appreciated
- It promotes joint integration.
Operational Camouflage Pattern
The OCP uniforms offer the expected function, fit, and form. This is because the uniform is of the best utility that the airmen can benefit from the enhanced readiness on using the OCP.
The officials of the Air Force offered overwhelmingly positive feedback on wearing this uniform. The OCP since 2012 is the combat utility uniform for airmen. It was approved to Afghanistan airmen so that they blend on patrol alongside soldiers, and was expanded later to other locations in the Middle East.
Nearly 100,000 airmen since 2012 already wore the OCP, and currently, around 20,000 airmen are wearing it as it is deployed to U.S. Air Forces, and in garrison guarding the Global Strike Command facilities. The Special Operations of Air Force Command airmen and their aircrews in Air Mobility Command are also wearing the OCP.
Their feedbacks have helped in making decisions for the Air Force so that it is used across the force. This simplifies the airmen's life as they need not maintain two utility uniform sets.
OCP design
The OCP design features smooth lines and a six-color palette, allowing it to camouflage to various environments. The Air Force is making decisions to adopt OCP uniforms. The design and the print are suitable as they are found to be flame resistant, comfortable, and when it was deployed to the airmen as official uniform to Afghanistan, they found it blend well in the terrain of Afghanistan.
These uniforms are anticipated eagerly by airmen. Wearing unit patches is the option as it is restored with OCP's new uniforms. The unit patches cannot be used with the ABU version. The configuration of the OCP new unit patch and 2PFDU aligns with traditional FDU such that it elevates the squadron focus and significance, supporting the intent of CSAF's to revitalize the squadrons. The OCP uniforms boost morale, and now majority Airmen are happy and proud to wear in combat their squadron insignia.
The OCP uniforms are heavily symbolic, besides being practical. This is donned by all the rank members of the insignia and regalia, including the officers. The medals, patches, buttons, and pins represent their achievements and honors and are worn as per specifications. This symbolism of the uniform is not ceremonial. It offers practical comfort and approach, regardless of the location.

Image via WikipediaSounds funny, doesn't it? With all the emphasis on Attention DEFICIT Disorder, the idea of an attention surplus catches us off guard, makes us laugh, perhaps even elicits an "I wish!" response.
I think your experience of a deficit in attention is the response to so many demands on your attention. After all, how many blogs, emails, social media sites, children, tasks, friends, conversations, causes, projects, and events can someone REALLY pay attention to? Too many payments of attention can result in not enough attention to go around -- a deficit.
Another way of describing attention is with the infinitive form, "to attend." When you attend school, or an event, or a meeting, you show up. Attention is the state of having mentally shown up. We can look further at the word, and find "tend," as in, to tend a garden, or to tend bar. To tend in this way implies cultivation over a sustained period of time, and taking action toward what is needed. Things you have tended to, with your attention, have a tendency to grow.
Perhaps those who are labeled with attention deficit disorder are actually attempting to tend to too much, rather than too little. So many bright shiny objects and ideas out there are truly fascinating. The choices, the possibilities, the expectations, the load seems enormous. The rapt concentration of total absorption in an interesting project is derailed by another demand.
There are several possible solutions to this dilemma. Typical strategies involve elaborate devices or techniques to block out the "distractions." This approach pre-supposes that you are clear about what you want to be paying attention to in the first place. That's probably another topic. Other strategies employ the philosophy that you have to "stretch" your brain by loading as much into it as possible. Increase the capacity so you can get more in. In my experience, this is a short road. Trying to cram more through the "bottleneck" of neurological processing (as discussed in The Overflowing Brain by Torkel Klingberg) just leads to more frustration and overwhelm. Multi-tasking is no solution. (Take a short and impressive test here.) Yet, you can find several million Google entries from people and organizations who want to help you to improve your multi-tasking ability! (Computer processors should multi-task, not people.) If attention is the new currency of modern society, then your attention will have more and more demands placed upon it.
The ability to pay attention is the foundation of your ability to learn, to adapt, to relate, and to survive. If you want to get control of 1) the input stream, and 2) your response to it, then the Feldenkrais Method is your "refresher course." The Method uses simple, gentle, novel movements to engage your attention, then directs that attention in specific ways. Over time, you develop the ability to turn down the volume on all of the "outer noise," and discover your own guidance system. Along with lowered stress levels and improved attention, people also report improvements in their posture, balance, breathing, coordination, and comfort.
As your ability to pay attention improves, you'll notice improvements is many other aspects of your life. Best of all, attention will start to pay YOU.

This page is still under construction.
Management Advisory Services
Effective management is at the core of every successful enterprise, from small businesses to the largest corporations. We recognize the unique challenges facing your organization's path to improved organization and how the right management serves as the link between ideal performance and realizing your long-term strategy.
PCG conducts assessments and consultations that walk clients through the process of improving their management techniques and how they gain insight for achieving future success.
Performance Assessment & Management
Performance is all about people and performance measurement is all about encouraging behaviors that optimize organizational objectives. Talent in any organization ultimately determines organizational performance, perhaps helped or hindered by organizational structure, technology and processes. Whom you hire, where you put people, what you ask them to do, and how you develop them will be the most important factor in the long term success of your organization.
PCG's proven ability to measure the right performance for the organization in the right way can help maximize the performance of the workforce and ultimately the organization.
Organizational Consulting
Improving any organization involves change. PCG helps clients design and implement change on their terms before internal failure or external pressures force change. Are the organization's governance structures, work flow, businesses processes and reward systems aligned? Are you asking people to produce better, but actually rewarding those who produce more? Does improvement require a cultural change or perhaps a return to the organization's core values and strengths? How is the necessary change communicated, implemented and assessed?
PCG's extensive experience in process review, organizational design and change management can help make changes successful.
Risk Assessment & Management
Understanding the risks that face an organization is just one side of risk management; it is vital to employ a strategy for mitigating those risks and planning for their contingencies.

Whether an organization is seeking to identify and plan for cyber security vulnerabilities or challenges to business strategy, PCG works closely with clients to prepare for changing circumstances.
Strategy Design & Implementation
Strategic planning is an easy concept, but difficult to accomplish. What talent is available in the short and long term? How much time and other resources are available? What are your organizational values and culture? Is there a clear vision of what the organization is and where the organization could be?
PCG excels at helping clients define a vision if necessary and translate that vision into a workable strategic plan. Improvement starts with a vision for a better performing organization.

UniBo Motorsport Creates Cutting-Edge User Interface for their Top-Level Motorbike with STM32 Graphics
UniBo Motorsport, a team of amazing and innovative students from the University of Bologna, utilized TouchGFX to the max in the development of their motorcycle dashboard.
The UniBo team created a real racing motorbike prototype. It received top rankings for design and functionality at the global Motostudent competition held in Aragon last October. The UniBo team used TouchGFX to achieve sharp graphics and fast performance for their user-friendly dashboard.
In their development of the User Interface, the team included the newest concepts within user interfaces for their industry. The UI had two important roles:
• Display a clear view of the motorcycle parameters
• Display a clear "racing view" of all the parameters the driver needs
The Benefits of the STM32 Graphics Solution
TouchGFX was an obvious pick for the team, as it offered easy creation of user-friendly UIs with great graphics and performance.
Easy to Get Started
One of the advantages of TouchGFX was how easy it was to get started with development.
The TouchGFX Designer and its full support for available ST Display kits allowed the team to test fully functional UI prototypes in record time. As a result, they got the best possible design and functionality for their UI.
A Complete Graphical Library
Another appealing feature for the team was the TouchGFX graphical library. The library provided all the necessary tools and modules they needed to realize the UI's functionality. It also also offered widgets, such as buffers and scrolling windows. As a result, there was no need for building these functions from scratch.
STM32 Graphics: Out-of-the-Box Development with STM32F469
The STM32F469 microcontroller was an excellent choice for the team's display solution. STM32 and TouchGFX offered an out-of-the-box solution. As TouchGFX takes full advantage of the graphical features of STM32 microcontrollers, they ended up with a cutting-edge prototype application with perfect UI performance.
TouchGFX was an obvious choice for us, as the tool enabled us to quickly create the best possible functionality and high-end design for our user interface display. Its design received great reviews internally and during several presentations of the motorbike. On behalf of the entire team I would like to thank Giorgia Falbo, Kevin Selvaggi and Francesco Legimi for the impressive effort they put in the development of such dashboard.
– Stefano Patassa, Project Supervisor, UniBo Motorsport
The motorbike development was done in time for Motostudent's final competition event. During the run of 5 days, UniBo Motorsport presented their motorbike to a panel of judges and placed themselves on the podium at their debut. They won the acceleration and gymkhana tests and achieved good scores in the design, innovation and industrialization stages.
We congratulate the UniBo Motorsport team with their great achievements.

The Pleated skirt is a trend that you definitely would not want to miss this season, as the style is making a surprise resurgence and has been spotted on quite a few celebrities over the last few months.
With its long length and cinched waist, this pleated beauty looks flattering on all figures and exudes a feminine vibe that perfectly complements the season. To those who love this pretty drape, here's a rundown of tips to sashay away in your favourite pleated skirt and take it to the next level.
Contrasting bright shades
Wearing a rainbow pattern pleats may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's surely a look that can turn heads if done right. It can easily go wrong and turn into a fashion faux pas, but Ushna Shah nailed the daring look in this Vesimi number by Siddhartha Bansal. The actress paired the multitude of colours with a plain black crop top to keep the look balanced.
Pro tip: Don't add more hues or patterns in the mix and wear minimal accessories to sport this fashionable clash of colours.

Ultra feminine
By design, a pleated skirt has delicate folds and a vintage silhouette. However, adding a metallic twist in the mix, the spark is undeniably a head-turner and that's why we love how Karisma Kapoor has worn it. The diva styled a silver-hued drape maxi skirt with a bow tied halter neck blouse. Complemented with a clean hair updo, the look is simple to replicate and is pleasing to the eye at the same time.
Pro tip: With its bulging shape, your first instinct is to pair a pleated skirt with a form fitting top but any over-sized knit can be a perfect addition. Try billowing bishop sleeves with vintage cuffs or a baggy shirt.
Stick to basics
Meghan Markle was seen sporting a gorgeous blue pleated skirt on her visit to New Zealand. While the Duchess of Sussex opted for a basic navy hue, the folds on this skirt appear to be opening at the hem, giving way to a bright azure shade. We love this intricate detail on the skirt; however, we wish the mommy-to-be had worn a few accessories.
Pro tip: Add a pop of colour to such solid hues. Pair it up with funky shoes or a pretty silk scarf tied artfully around your neck.

In 2020 this tournament will be played over four rounds at Congressional, so there will be a new Platinum Score and Record Round.
(Click on the banners below to view that year's results):
The Format:
In 2017 there will be a new format to this event.
Four rounds on Best of Par five's
History of The Calcutta Cup:
The Calcutta Cup itself is of Indian workmanship, decorated with cobras and an elephant. It is now in a fragile state after much mistreatment.
On Christmas Day many years ago a game of rugby, between 20 players representing England on one side and 20 representing Scotland, Ireland and Wales on the other, was played in Calcutta India.
The match was such a huge success that it was repeated a week later. These lovers of rugby wanted to form a club in the area and the aforementioned matches were the agents which led to the formation of the Calcutta Football Club.
Despite the Indian climate not being entirely suitable for playing rugby, the club prospered during that first year.
However, when the free bar was closed, the membership took an appreciable drop.
Other sports, such as tennis and polo, which were considered to be more suited to the local climate, were making inroads into the numbers of gentlemen available.
The members decided to disband but keen to perpetuate the name of the event, they withdrew the club's funds from the bank, which were in Silver Rupees, had them melted down and made into a cup which they presented to the owner of The Las Vegas Country Club in 2010 with the provision that it should be competed for, some time in the future. It remained in the basement of the clubhouse for five long years.....
In 2016 Tommorris became the first Scotsman to win the Scottish Open.
The cup was severely damaged by the antics of some drunken Scottish members who celebrated Tom's victory by playing football with the Calcutta Cup along Sauchielhall Street in Glasgow.
Since El Presidente played goalkeeper in this outrageous act, a controversial decision was made not to issue any suspensions to any of the Scottish members involved.
It was finally decided to award this trophy in a new event in March.
The trophy is in a very sad fragile state following the many years of poor treatment and is not in a strong enough condition to attend functions or go on tours.
When won a replica of The Calcutta Cup is only put on public display here on this page.
Members are fore-warned to beware of monsoon conditions in this event.
Golf carts and caddies have been provided for this event.

Horse Industry Officials: Gretna Slots Could Mean Lost Jobs
Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi is asking for a full appeals court hearing, after a panel ruling that would let Creek Entertainment in Gretna begin operating slot machines. Bondi's office calls the move a "jaw dropping" expansion of gambling. And Florida Horsemen are raising their own concerns about the ruling.
The city says slot machines will help provide jobs and help its residents dig their way out of poverty. But Bruce Green, general counsel for the Florida Horsemen Benevolent and Protective Association says if the argument is really economic, Gretna officials should focus on growing the horse racing industry. He says in some parts of the state it's a major provider of jobs.
"Thoroughbred horse racing in South Florida and in Tampa, which supports the farm economy in Ocala is a huge, huge contributor to the economy in the state of Florida." Green says. "And when that gets attacked, and pari-mutuel facilities no longer have the incentive to conduct thoroughbred racing, what happens to the farms in Ocala, what happens to all those people's jobs?"
Green says the horsemen are concerned about the court ruling because Gretna is counting it' barrel racing events as part of the two years of live racing required for a slot machine license. The horsemen are concerned that could create a precedent that would let other facilities operate similar horse events and use those to get slot or card room licenses, without having to hold full scale races, which create more jobs within the horse industry.

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – "It's just bizarre. Completely bizarre," says Carissa Massago, a Village woman.
Massago is in complete shock after she opened up her Ring Neighbor's app.
"There it was… somebody running to our front door, grabbing a package out of our mailbox," says Massago.
After the man snatches the package, you can see him running away and then taking off in a dark-colored sedan. The quick crime, taking less than a minute, but long enough for the security camera to get a picture.
"I was just in disbelief. Like, why would somebody run to our mailbox and grab something. It looked like they knew what it was," she says.
At first, this Village mother of two had no idea what was stolen. It turns out, the family won't be missing much.
"What about when you found out that all he got was Pez?"
Massago answered, "I just started laughing."
The thief only got away with Pez, a candy.
"The most random purchase."
Two pounds in all, at a cheap price, too. She only spent about $5 on the candy, and she says now, it's all she can do not to laugh.
"I would like to think that when he opened it, he was laughing too," says Massago.
The homeowner did file a police report and officers told her this kind of theft happens often.

No I actually didnt get a penta (yet)
So urf, its nearly time for you to go back to the heavenly realms and evolve to become more awesome for next year, but goddamit, half time time in the gamemode I dont know whats happening.
I bring your attention to two games, One as Zed urf and one as Veigar urf
I bring your attention to Zed verses an Ezreal, basically during the entire fight I managed to completely dodge every skillshot from Ezreal, even dodging his ult with mine, what I actuallly did was use abilities as soon as they came up and that somehow helped me juke everything.
Next is a Urf veigar when the start of the match, the side laners for my team is doing poorly. Fizz is fed and they are pushing hard, whenever I could I would spam E,W,Q over and over again and whenever someone came close with 50% of their Hp they were dead and we won it somehow because, well I dont know
HAving fun in URF, tell me what you are doing in game and maybe we will share frames of mind of wondeing what we are doing.

The pledge came after the government-appointed committee on tackling poverty and disparities discussed the issue with BMA officials led by Bangkok Governor Aswin Kwanmuang on Tuesday (Dec 3), said Mr Sungsidh, who chairs the committee.
Mr Sungsidh said on Facebook that next year the BMA will gradually allow vendors who were removed from locations where trade was permitted only temporarily, to resume their trade under certain regulations.
The BMA has banned footpath trading and handed street vendors a deadline of Dec 31 to clear their stalls off pavements. Temporary permission to trade at more than 900 locations has been cancelled, affecting more than 200,000 vendors, Mr Sungsidh said.
During the meeting with the BMA, Pol Gen Aswin argued the trading ban applies only to vendors on major streets in inner Bangkok, not to vendors in small alleys. This month, the BMA will also turn Silom, Yaowarat and Khao San roads into pedestrian-only zones at certain times as a part of its bid to boost tourist numbers and the local economy, Mr Sungsidh said.
He said he agreed with the BMA's footpath policy, but added he wanted City Hall to attach more importance to the informal economy, which has close links with the formal economy. "For example, employees and civil servants in the formal economy have to rely on affordable meals offered by street vendors almost every day,'" Mr Sungsidh said.
"Removing vendors from footpaths means those employees will have to buy expensive meals and hundreds of thousands of vendors will be put out of work, weakening the grassroots economy and the purchasing power of society as a whole,'" he said.
He added Thai street food has been named among the 10 most popular foods for 10 consecutive years in a survey by the World Tourism Organisation. "Therefore, a ban on street food will destroy a strong point of the country's tourism,'" Mr Sungsidh said.
He said it was necessary to ensure a harmony of benefits between vendors and pedestrians, including sharing the same space. If a footpath is four metres wide, vendors will be allotted two metres for trade, he said, adding street-food stalls also need to comply with hygiene, orderliness and environmental standards.

Marks milestone in £38m scheme to reduce journey times on outer ring road
The start of a £38m scheme to reduce journey times on York's Outer Ring Road move a step closer next week as site clearance works start at the Wetherby Road roundabout.
Public consultation on the design of the new roundabout only finished on 2nd February. The results of the consultation have yet to be reported to any Council committee.
Nevertheless the Council have issued a statement saying, "It is the first of seven roundabouts on the Outer Ring Road set for major improvements, including wider entrances and exits and improved pedestrian and cycling facilities.
The council is undertaking site clearance work, ahead of the main construction planned to start in June, to avoid impacting on nesting birds.
This will include removal of existing hedges and saplings along the highway boundary to facilitate the widening of the roundabout and approach roads.
Replacement hedging and saplings will be planted along the line of the new highway boundary as part of the main roundabout construction scheme".

The Pull List – Mata Hari #4
Posted on June 29, 2018 by Chris
Crafting a new identity for herself, Margaretha Zelle-MacLeod takes the stage name of Lady Gresha MacLeod and has become a dancer for the Cirque Molière in Paris in 1902. She dazzles the crowd with hypnotic movements, her stunning costumes and her exotic beauty. These leads to several men eagerly wanting her attention, but she only sees them as stepping stones to become a true starlet. In 1905 Margaretha has embraced her new life and reintroduced herself as Mata Hari, an princess from the far east. Using this new fame, she finds empowerment to control her life, but this only brings suspension to her spy accusations later in her life.
Issue four delves into the Margaretha's full transformation into the persona of Mata Hari, utilizing her charm and beauty to survive in a cruel world. Early 20th century was not kind to strong women, but Margaretha knew how to climb the ranks to be in a position of power. Her new persona as Mata Hari drew in crowds to watch her perform and played with the desires of men. From 1906 to 1914, Mata Hari travels around Europe, living up in high society with many lovers. However, when war breaks out across the world, Mata Haris the attention for her travels and this sparks the accusations of her being a spy.
Writer Emma Beeby shows the rise and eventual fall of Mata Hari by showing the struggles of Margaretha working up the social ladder. In a short time of being Mata Hari, Margaretha has lived a life of luxury, but sadness. It appears that all of Margaretha's efforts to become a star was to earn wealth and respect to be reunited with her daughter again. It becomes more tragic when the start of war has caused others to question Margaretha and her loyalists. This all builds to a final act where Margaretha will either have bow to the will of others or have one final act of defiance.

Former Marine Cpl. Ron Irwin is working on a play entitled, "51-50: The Play – One Man's Story About the Vietnam War." It is "meant to be mainly dark comedy, but also reveals some insight into what 2.7 million Americans experienced each in their own way," Irwin told us.
Irwin has created a tee shirt emblazoned with "51-50 The Play," and is selling it as to help market the script that he hopes will become a TV show or movie. And he is donating a portion of the proceeds to Vietnam Veterans of America.

Enjoy these thoughts and remember that even when your life is at it's end, the words you leave behind will still live on.

Please, Pretty Please, Words of Advice?
Where to start? I think I'll try to lump it all together in bold points, skip ahead if you find something you'd rather not read, I take no offense. But at this point I'm using names just to make it easier to follow. Only maybe two people reading this will be know who I'm talking about, and even then they already know the story. So no harm done in my book. Anyways, here goes nothing:
Friends. Or not friends. I haven't the damndest clue anymore. Earlier in the year, my "best friend" Alyx decided she wanted nothing to do with me anymore. But she didn't tell me this. I started picking up on it when she would TURN HER BACK ON ME during German class to talk to her childhood BFF. It had become the 3 of us that were the really close friends at one point, but when push comes to shove, it's always Alyx and Casey. Noone can come between them, no matter how much Alyx slams Casey with insults. It's all part of their relationship, their banter I suppose. And whenever I hear it and can get a word in edge wise, I defend Casey... I can't help it! *sigh* Sorry I'm getting off topic. Anyways, the ice had been starting to crack for awhile then, and the whole thing fell to shit when Kelsey came up before lunch to me ALMOST IN TEARS because of the crap Alyx would say about me in their AP Bio class. From there, rooming for Boston went all topsy turvey and Alyx and I haven't really talked since.
Thus leads me to my need for advice, Part 1: In the moring, I go to the TV Studio to help with the morning announcements. Earlier in the year I had brought Alyx, Cazey, and Laura with me and my interest to help be a part of it and now we're now basically the ones that run the whole shin-dig. But now that Alyx decided it was time for us to "grow apart", she says nothing to me, and with Casey it's "Alyx is the leader" so she says nothing to me either. And Laura? She'll do anything to stay on Alyx and Casey's good side. I have nothing against her, she's a good friend of mine and I love her to death, but given the choice of Alyx and Casey over me, she'll pick the other 2. I really can't take it any more... The TV studio is one of my favourite things in the morning, I love being part of it. But the company is less than stellar, all I really have is me, myself and I. It would be easier if I could at least get a "hi" or "goodmorning" when I walk in, and a small opening into any discussion they have, but no. I'm shut out.
Prom. May I take a moment to just yell at the top of my lungs? *gets up, walks away from the computer*
*sigh*comes back and proceeds to type* well I feel a little better, I suppose. I'm so tired of Prom! The process has been going on for over a month now, starting with trying to find a dress. And to be completely honest, I'm poor. I clean a family friends house and I babysit. I don't have a regular job at a store or resturant, just a couple hrs after school to try to get enough money to keep me from becoming a bigger burden on my mum. With that being said, I don't have houndreds of dollars to spend on a dress... I don't have the luxery to find my dream dress, one that I'm happy and proud to wear. It doesn't have to be designer, I couldn't care less who made it. I just want to be happy and feel pretty in it. I want to be comfertable. But I don't have that ability. Instead I'm restrained by the saying "beggars can't be choosers". And it's kinda always been that way... Anyways, on top of that there's finding a date. Last year Laura and I were part of an all girls table and let me tell you it was A LOT of fun, no drama, no crap to worry about. but this year I really thought I was going to get asked, the guy I thought was going to do it had given me the third degree about if I was going to prom or not and my favourite flower and colour and just odd things. But instead I was told last night that he's not going to Prom, I was the first one he told cause he thought I should be the first to know. He can't deal with seeing his cousin and his ex together (that's another whole problem that just doesn't need to be explained... a perfect example of high school love triangle, enough said.) when I read the message I swear I heard the sound of a big oak door slam shut... And to add to all the money fun tickets were also sold yesterday, $50 a pop which isn't too bad (my freshman year, I didn't go but the were $90 a piece, and last year they were $45). But when you add it all up, that's a lot of money I really don't have. And Laura's decided to skip out to hang with (guess whos) Alyx and Casey. Sure I have a few other people to sit with, but I just don't want to deal with it any more. I'm too tired.
Boys. Just in general. I thought AJ (The guy I thought'd ask me to Prom) and I had something that might have been starting back up (again long story) but nope no suck luck. I passed that oppurtunity up last summer. That's all you need to know bout that story for now. Maybe I'll write up a better story later. But that's debatable. Regardless, and here's where I'm going to end up contradicting myself 15 different ways, I just want to have fun. I want to be able to go out, see a movie or go mini-golfing and not have to worry about anything. I want a relationship, a connection with someone, but if they're not looking for committment I won't fight them on it, it's almost time to leve for college anyways... So I just want fun! I'd rather have guys as friends than girls anyways, it's much less drama... Untill they seem like the perfect one for a relationship but I've gone down that road once, I don't plan on doing it again unless I KNOW the feeling's mutual. I'm going crazy sitting here at home, when I want to be out and about. Or rather, sitting at home alone. I'm totally fine with relaxing and watching a movie on the couch, or even better let's push the coffee table aside and throw pillows and blankets on the floor. With an arm around me, if we're just friends or something more, I couldn't be happier.
So, I think that's all the turmoil I'm facing that I just don't know what to do with anymore. None of my other friends can really give me advice or help me out, and when I need to talk about it, they're sick of hearing me repeat the same old same old. I've learned that answers can be found in unexpected places, and I'm always up for trying something new. I apologize if you read this hoping to find something interestinng and all you're left with is wasted time and thoughts of "thank God I'm not a girl" or "I so do NOT miss high school". But seriously any words would be greatly aprreciated, more than you will ever know. Thank you all <3

Here's one thing I can say FOR CERTAIN...you will not have to deal with high-school drama once you get to college. It's an entirely different world and it's so refreshing. At least that was my experience, and was also the experience of most people I have known. There are two reasons for this: maturity (the Alyxes and Caseys and Lauras of the world will eventually grow the heck up), and there are really no "in" or "out" groups in college. At least not nearly to the extent that there are in high school. So there's light at the end of the tunnel and you're almost there! College will be the most amazing time of your life and Alyx's immaturity will be nothing but a memory...in fact you'll probably never remember it at all :)ReplyDelete
I completely agree with Keith. I'm in my third year of college, and drama like that just doesn't exist. Could be because people are older, could be that there are just so many people, and quite honestly, you have no idea what age people are anymore because we're all adults (okay, sometimes you can pick out the freshmen... but most time, not).ReplyDelete
In regards to boys... all I can say is that if one doesn't work out, it means that there is someone better out there for you. You should never settle for someone. But also, don't dwell on having or not having a special someone in your life. I had a bad breakup with a girl at the beginning of my sophomore year. I have met her at the end of freshman year, and we talked all through the summer (she in SC and I in NJ). We kept the magic alive despite the long distance, but didn't officially start dating 'til I got back. We only dated for a month or two. Maybe not even. I was pretty broken... that after all that time spent emotionally connecting and that was all that came out of it. I know what you mean about just having somebody there. It's really nice.
Anyways, once I our relationship was over, I made a point not to try too hard to look for a relationship. I figured it would just find me one day. But I had a ton of fun just hanging out with my roommates and going to some house parties and whatever else. What I realized was being single is pretty freakin' awesome. And if you're planning on getting married one day (which I am, hopefully) then you gotta enjoy it while it's still here. And at the end of the day? We're still very young. There is plenty of time to find love.
Hope your situation improves Stephanie.Replies
Awh! Well I completely understand what you mean with living it up and having fun... That's something that I've kept in the back of my mind, and is why what happened last summer with AJ happened... I passed up the relationship because I was going so many different places and as terrible as it sounds I didn't want to be tied down. I justified it by thinking that if I did meet someone along the way I didn't want to feel tempted and do something I would have majorly regretted. Honestly, I think it makes me sound like a horrible person, but it's better than actually doing something I'd regret more so I suppose. But I don't know... I also see myself as someone who's always ran away from a relationship even thought it's something that I really want. It doesn't make sense. But college is a new leaf to turn over, and I'm ready for it like you would not believe. I hope everything works out well for you too, Greg(:Delete

Guanciale is Italian pork bacon that is prepared by rubbing the meat with salt and curing it for one month. Guanciale is then seasoned with pepper and spices such as thyme, fennel, coriander and rosemary. After the Guanciale is air-dried, it is ready for consumption.
When Guanciale is not available, it is often substituted with pancetta, which is another form of Italian cured pork, although Guanciale offers much more of a deep pork flavor than pancetta. Guanciale has a smooth, rich flavor and delicate, buttery texture.
Delicious in sauces and sautés, Guanciale is the ideal seasoning for many pasta dishes such as pasta carbonara. Guanciale is typically thicker than bacon, but may be cut into thin strips and wrapped around a few stems of asparagus. Guanciale is also adds a unique mouth-watering flavor to vegetables.

Your car plays an important role in life, and it is probably one of your biggest expenses. We all know keeping your vehicle properly maintained is important, but finding someone trustworthy to service it can be a daunting task. It's a common scenario, and one bound to happen to most drivers. After a visit to the quick lube, you're left with a laundry list of problems. Your seemingly trusty steed now looks like it needs to be put down. You're left in a daze after hours of scouring hundreds of reviews, and you're less confident than you were before you started. You've been sequestered several hours in small waiting rooms, each resulting in a different list of problems with astronomical prices. "What did I do to deserve this", you say to yourself, clinging one nerve away from a mental breakdown. Relax. Auto repair doesn't have to be this tragic. The following will help demonstrate how to prepare and what to expect when you visit the auto shop.
Choose a shop. Word of mouth recommendations are probably the best place to start. Your best bet is an independent garage that specializes in your type of vehicle. Go and scope out a few shops before settling on one. Talk to the staff and explain that you are a loyal customer looking for a shop to do good business with. Find out if you will be able to speak with the mechanic. Will they take you out in the shop and show you what is wrong with the vehicle? Many shops will not let you go into the shop, let alone talk to the mechanic. It's best to stay away from any shop that will not show you what is wrong with your car. The goal here is to find a mechanic who will treat your vehicle as their own, and be happy to service it for years to come.
Give them a chance. Have them perform a basic inspection before anything else. A good mechanic will prioritize any necessary repairs. Safety concerns should come before anything else. You don't want to spend money on an engine tune up if your wheel is about to fall off. If the vehicle is in need of more repairs than it's worth, a good mechanic will tell you to get rid of it rather than milking you for some easy money. After a basic inspection, you can evaluate the way you and your vehicle are treated. Were you treated with respect? Did they identify the problems in a professional manner? How thorough was the inspection? Did they demonstrate why the repairs needed to be performed? Was the estimate presented to you in a clear and concise manner? Did they return your vehicle without any greasy paw prints all over it? After answering these questions, you'll feel more comfortable with your mechanic, and most likely, your mechanic will be grateful you're this interested in your car's repair.
Be familiar with the nature of the repair. So you've had your vehicle checked out, and you're aware that you're in need a repair. Say there's an issue with the brakes. A basic understanding of how the brakes work can go a long way. If you have no idea what brakes are, do a bit of research. There are plenty of sources online that provide basic information on how things work. It can help you communicate with your mechanic better, and it will help you to determine whether or not you are being sold something unnecessary.
Know what you're paying for. Repairs are usually billed out using a flat rate system. This system provides the average time to complete the job properly, and an indication of the skill required. Say the job takes 2 hours, if the mechanic takes three hours to do the job, they only get paid for two. On the other side of the coin, if it takes them 1 hour to do the job, they still get paid for two. If the job comes back due to an issue with the workmanship, they won't get paid the second time around. The flat rate system helps keep mechanics honest. They want to do the job quickly and efficiently, but they certainly don't want the job coming back. Double check the labor times, rates, and skill levels to make sure you aren't being over billed, and that a competent mechanic is assigned to the job. Most shops get their parts at a discounted rate based on the volume of parts they purchase. In turn, they mark the price of the parts up. This money usually goes toward the shop's overhead costs and ability to warranty the parts. If you supply your own part, the shop most likely will not warranty the part, and you will have to pay for the labor twice if there is an issue with the part.
Know what kind of mechanic you have. After the job is done, look over the mechanics workmanship. A good mechanic pays attention to detail and leaves the car better than the way they found it. Even if you don't know much about how a job is done, you can still spot visual cues to tell if it was done properly. For example, if engine work is to be performed, have a look under the hood before and after the job is complete. Is all the wiring secured and routed correctly? If oil was leaking all over the place before, did they clean it up? Do you see any missing bolts or clips? Are any covers missing? A good mechanic will take care of your car like a professional.
Be a good customer. It's hard to find a good mechanic if you're a not a good customer. It's good to have high expectations, and as a paying customer, you deserve top notch service. Just keep in mind that cars are very complicated, and sometimes, things can be unpredictable. If something isn't right with the repair, give the mechanic a chance to make it right. This is where you will find the best mechanics: the ones who are honest when they've messed up something, and are willing to do whatever it takes to make things right.
You can achieve a great customer and mechanic relationship if you not only gain an understanding of your mechanic and garage, but if you gain knowledge of your car and its problems. Even with very little understanding of how your car works, if you just do a little research on the part and the shop, you can sleep easier with the confidence that your car is being well taken care of.

A Love Note for my Fellow Revolutionaries :)
- Aug
- 09
- 2013
Dearest hoop friends!
I am just overcome with gratefulness for the hoop community right now! I thought I would share some of the thoughts I have been having.
I chose the business name "Hoop Revolution" 13 years ago. After much back and forth I settled on it (with the help of my partner in crime at the time Sita Luna) not just because of the delightful play on words, but because I knew, even though the hoop community was teeny tiny at that time, that I was going to experience, and be a part of a revolution. I knew that this revolution was going to include many many people and would not just be about me. I felt in my body the revolution offered by the hoop; a revolution in mind-body-soul connection, a revolution in personal evolution and a revolution in dance. I knew in my soul that hoop dance was going to be a revolution in community, affirmed by the instant trust and affinity I felt with anyone holding a simple plastic circle. This person could be old or young, any race, any political affiliation and of any gender. If they had a hoop, they were family… period. Just like any family, some felt closer than others, but the love was always there instantaneously. In the potential of the hoop as a collective force I saw a revolution of LOVE… manifested as mutually beneficial sharing built on a foundation of play. I am truly awestruck by the beauty of us all and how we continue to grow and evolve together. I am honored to continue to be both a player and a spectator of the magic.
Over the years I have struggled with how to convey that my business is truly rooted in a "WE" not "ME" vision. Even though it is mostly BEEN just me (with various partners coming in and out) manning the helm of the business entity Hoop Revolution, deep in my heart every hooper everywhere has been right here with me the whole way. You are all shareholders in my world and I just wanted you to know that. Can you feel it? I hope so!
So, in closing… if ever you feel alone or misunderstood, remember… YOU are a part of a REVOLUTION. You are a part of a FAMILY. We are all deeply connected through the love of our circles and you all have a special place in my heart. For REAL.
Yours, forever and always~
Anah aka Hoopalicious

Drivers urged to get transponders as opening of bridge tolls nears
The push is on for people to get transponders as officials get closer to opening the bridge tolling system.
Officials said tolling will start some time in December and they will reveal a start date when they've finished testing the system.
"There's not going to be a lot of time when we make that announcement and tolling starts. Now is the time to open that account," Mindy Peterson, a spokeswoman for The Ohio Bridges Project, said.
An informational meeting was held at St. Stephen Church Sunday.
Tonya Williams said the meeting changed her mind about taking the Clark Memorial or Sherman Minton bridges instead of the Lincoln Bridge.
"I'd say use it. It will cut down on time and the traffic because you don't want to be sitting in the traffic if it's not necessary," Williams said.
Peterson said Riverlink.com is the quickest way to open an account.
People can also open an account at St. Stephen Church.

Everyone is Replaceable
"Everyone is Replaceable" and Other Business Lies
Only fearful managers say "Everyone is replaceable." Fearful managers say other hateful things, too, things like "I don't pay you to think" and "That's my decision, not yours." Those fearful statements make it easy to tell which managers are deserving of your talents and which aren't.
My note:
This line "Everyone is Replaceable" is ascribed to Stalin. In 1939, when he was sending his top officers to the Gulag, later not able to stop Hitler's 1941 invasion.
When I heard the same expression from my former boss, I was thinking about Sting's song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNt5iK8EuAU
I was pleased to read the article and I agree with the ideas laid out.
However, it was an eye opener to read also the comments. I realized that the "managers" (even if some of them claimed they are "leaders") are very critical toward the ideas. I realized that throughout reading the article, I was identifying myself with an "employee," not the "manager" view point.
It is sad to see how critical the "managers" where toward the article, how behind they are the times; since the technocrat management is passe and people now long for a "human" leadership (Friedman's "The World is Flat.")
I was also flabbergasted to read the comments of all these experienced administrators, who cannot see the forest, only the three. Is it cultural? Generational? Gender-based? Whatever it is, it certainly does not paint pleasant picture for the work environment around us, the employees.

Sleepwalkers, Boiling Frogs and the Activated Awake
by Zen Gardner To continue sleepwalking once someone knows the truth is not ignorance, it's madness, as David Icke so aptly said. Anyone looking for happiness and fulfillment while helping to build a better world has plenty of options. But sitting still and just gazing at the oncoming storm, no matter how much you know about it, isn't one of them. To be able to describe something and think you understand it isn't the grand finale. It's responding to what the information is telling you to do that matters. Do you literally have to wait for the bulldozer, as so poignantly put in The Hitchhiker' Guide to the Galaxy after you found out certain disaster was coming? Again, that's madness. Granted, the effects of what's coming will be felt worldwide so at the very least we need to make preparations where we are or in some better location. Not in fear, but in informed wisdom. But I have a hard time understanding anyone who doesn't have the sense of urgency to put everything in motion that they're being shown needs to be done. Once we make that decision and work towards the right direction a wonderful peace comes over us, and there will be plenty more to learn and do each step of the way. There's really no standing still once you begin to answer the call. Yes, there's a wonderful stillness and confident knowing in spirit that are our ever present strength and refuge, but that doesn't mean we do nothing when so many need encouragement, empowering information, resources and even awakening motivation. Taking Action Doesn't Necessarily Mean Relocating – But It Might I get a lot of criticism for encouraging people to leave the US. I realize not everyone is able to do it, but for me I put feet to my convictions about what's happening there and I'm glad I did. The relief from the bombarding influences there is immeasurable. Besides, it's already more difficult to travel and get passports now as I warned, all while jumping through mounting surveillance, security checks, and impromptu requirements and shake downs at the whim of the metastasizing police state. Why do you suppose they're doing all of that? Sure it's ultimately more control, but why restrict travel or crossing borders, which we'll be seeing more and more of? Yes, they want more money at every turn which is partially why they're flagging anyone owing the IRS anything, but they also want to do the same to people with any outstanding debts. And pray tell how many people don't have debt. The whole system is built on it. It's entrapment, because the mounting tide of awake Americans is one of their biggest threats. If you have a roomful of cockroaches you need to exterminate, what do you do? Close the doors and windows so they can't escape to another part of the house, and then most people will spray the hell out of them. Sound familiar? Check your skies, and food and water for that matter. That's how we're viewed by the dark overlords, as pests. And America is enemy #1 to them, with the UK, Canada and Australia not far behind. The American entity that once stood for freedom must be weakened, dismantled and vastly depopulated, all while socially and genetically mutating the remainder of the species into an unquestioning transhumanized work force kept in carefully guarded and monitored city centers. This widely known plan is worldwide but some places are going to be way safer than others in the near future, and in fact they already are. The California Drought Example It's said California only has one year of water left. While we know that situation has been brought on deliberately via geoengineering, fracking, massive bottling operations and host of other insanities, that's 10% of the US population facing real peril, as well as almost half of the country's fruit and vegetable production. Where's everyone going to go? Do you think they'll just sit there and wait for FEMA trucks to bring water, and food? No doubt many will for various misguided reasons. But would you just sit there until your home is worth nothing and you have to flee with whatever you can fit in your car? And to where? And if you don't think the government will go full on fascist during such a time and heavily restrict travel, look up the dust bowl disaster in the US and how those escaping starvation conditions weren't even allowed INTO California where there was plenty for all. This time they'll no doubt make FEMA camps and even prison life look attractive with food, water and accommodations as they attract a free incarcerated labor force like so many have done in other totalitarian regimes. Some serious things to think about. The Pizza Oven Dream A many years ago I had a striking dream that woke me up out of a sound sleep. I was watching someone standing in front of a pizza oven in a dazed, transfixed state. He was a typical youngish overweight American just staring at the oven fire from about 4 feet away. But the fire was growing, steadily. And as it did he didn't move. He was totally fixated into such a state he couldn't even feel the heat. As the fire grew in intensity I could see his flesh literally starting to cook. And he still didn't flinch. At this point I was screaming at him at the top of my lungs imploring him to get out of there, and still nothing. The scene so horrified me it woke me up as I was screaming. I was living in Southern California near the beach at the time and we were getting chemtrailed something fierce everyday. While I had my windows rolled up, air filters running and the air-con on recycle as I did on spray days, I was always befuddled and horrified by the hundreds of joggers, bikers and surfers I drove by with my windows up each day who were completely ignorant of their demise under their poisonous chemical skies. This vivid dream was an expression of how I feel watching this horrific reality play out on the benumbed, completely unsuspecting masses, and quite appropriate for what I'm attempting to communicate here.

Cheryl Hooper murder case: I just wanted to scare her, says accused husband
A Shropshire farmer who shot his estranged wife dead outside her Newport home told a jury that he intended to frighten her not kill her.
Andrew Hooper, known as Jack, is alleged to have shot Cheryl Hooper in the neck and arm on January 26 last year outside her new home, in Farmers Gate, Newport, before turning his shotgun on himself.
The defendant, who cannot speak due to severe facial injuries, used a keyboard to give evidence and told the court he had hoped the marriage could have been saved after his wife of 18 months moved out.
He shot her following a confrontation at a pub while she was out with a group of friends including a man he accused her of having an affair with, the court heard.
Hooper told the court that he recognised the man when he got to the pub, in Wolverhampton.
The case so far:
- Jury is shown blood-stained old shotgun
- Husband accused of murdering Cheryl Hooper in Newport 'was in financial difficulties'
- Court hears of neighbour's terror after Newport mother was shot
- 'He had murder in his eyes': Cheryl Hooper's daughter tells court of shotgun terror on Newport street
- Cold-blooded' farmer shot wife in front of teenage daughter outside Newport home, court told
Mr Philip Bradley, defending, asked him: "Did you reach the conclusion that they were together?"
Hooper replied that he did and that he "inferred" they may be having an affair.
He went on to tell the jury that he returned to his home - Guild of Monks Farm near Newport - before heading to Mrs Hooper's house with the shotgun at 10.45pm.
Hooper admitted that he loaded the shotgun, but he could not recall when he did that. And said that he could not "clearly recall all the events" of the evening.
He said when he arrived outside the house he could see Mrs Hooper in the car and her teenage daughter. He said he approached the vehicle carrying the shot gun.
Mr Bradley asked: "Tell the jury please, what was the purpose of approaching the car with a shotgun?"
Hooper replied: "To frighten Cheryl."
Mr Bradley asked: "Why? What did you want Cheryl to do?"
Hooper replied: "To leave the other man and reconcile our marriage."
He was also asked: "Did you intend to kill your wife?
Hooper replied: "No"
The defendant told the court that he accepted that two live shots were discharged from the weapon into her.
He said: "I live everyday knowing that I am responsible for her death which is not a good feeling. I am not guilty of killing her though."
Hooper, 46, of Guild Lane, Sutton near Newport denies murder. He is accused of shooting Mrs Hooper, 51, in front of her daughter despite some weeks earlier signing over all his licensed guns to a friend after three suicide attempts.
The case continues at Birmingham Crown Court.

Who is the Punisher?
His enemies know him as The Punisher, we know him as Frank Castle. Although his character has changed over the years a few key plots have always remained the same. He has always been a war veteran, his family is always taken from him in a criminal shootout, he always swears to punish those responsible. He dons a white skull on black to let his enemies know that their date with death is soon! Is he a hero or a villain? You can argue both, but in the end Frank Castle knows what he does is right.
The Punisher's Publication History:
The Punisher was first introduced as a villain to the friendly neighborhood Spiderman in Amazing Spider-Man 129 in 1974 by Gerry Conway, Ross Andru and John Romita Sr. The Punisher would go to cameo in other Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Captain America. Frank Castle would not get his own solo mini series until 1986. He would spawn three aditional ongoing series titled The Punisher, The Punisher: War Zone, The Punisher: War Journal over the following years. After hundreds of comic issues the sales started to decline and Marvel turned to writer Garth Ennis to help turn the character around. Ennis would go on to write iconic storylines that inspired the movies and TV shows we have grown to love!
Music: "Superman" by Love Story in Blood Red

After a gap of nearly two years, Ravi Teja released a movie but the audiences didn't show that much enthusiasm to watch his film "Raja The Great".
The film's first day collections in Telugu states are not that great, they were quite ordinary. The movie received about Rs 4.5 Cr opening on day one in AP and Telangana, which is pretty average for a movie that got released in huge number of screens.
Real test for Ravi Teja and this movie will begin from tomorrow (Friday). It has to perform extraordinary at ticket window this weekend to recover its investment.
Post the weekend, holiday mood ends and it will have tough time at the box-office. So, the team of "Raja The Great" is putting high hopes on this weekend and Diwali festival mood.
Director Anil Ravipudi has rehashed his recent hit movie "Supreme" by replacing a kid angle with heroine. However, "Supreme", which was also template commercial movie, had more entertainment than this movie.
The team of "Raja The Great" is now planning to release more comedy trailers to pull the audiences this weekend to the theaters.
Luckily for Ravi Teja, he has received full marks as hero.
