Most of us have been raised on folklore comprised of damsels in distress and the knights in shining armor that rescue them. Tales like Snow White, Cinderella and basically any legend of Arthurian ancestry force the female protagonists, for which they're often named, into becoming passive subjects trapped by unfortunate circumstance or accidental sin. Just as problematic, however, is how these stories position their main men: as one-dimensional, emotionally unexpressive and largely interchangeable figures that must be "brave" and "tough" in order to succeed in their various quests for gold, glory and girls.
But this summer, artist Steinunn Thorarinsdottir is challenging these long-held, gender-coded assumptions through her site-specific public installation, "Armor," at Manhattan's Fort Tryon Park, where she has installed three androgynous metal figures in dialogue with suits of armor cast from custom 3-D scans of real suits in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection. Standing opposite The Met's Cloisters, a branch of the museum's collection devoted to the arts, architecture and gardens of medieval Europe, Thorarinsdottir's work not only allows visitors to engage with history in a whole new way (Yes, you can touch!), it also begs for an achingly necessary look at our own contemporary culture.
"I think our present day is not dissimilar to medieval times," the artist told Observer. "We're witnessing so much conflict—tribalism, endless power struggles between nations and peoples and genders—as well as many necessary revolutions, as seen in the #MeToo movement," which cause many of us to question the values by which our male-dominated society operates.
Thorarinsdottir is known for her life-size naked, androgynous figures, especially in her home country of Iceland, where she is the first female sculptor to have had two solo shows at the Reykjavik Art Museum, first in 1982 and again in 1987. To create her ambiguous metal forms, she has used her son as a model for the last 20 years, which has proved a subtle but insistent way of interrogating how gender is largely instilled by social norms. Although these figures remain physically featureless, the artist explained that "In my work, I've always been interested in this element of family and the things that inform what we become."
Despite this long-standing interest, Thorarinsdottir's work at Fort Tryon Park marks the first time she has used a historical precedent to craft her sculptures. "We are all very busy looking to the future, and I want to see how my art in this moment can merge with history to help visualize that future," she said. The artist became enamored with medieval armory while she was briefly living in New York in 2013, where she visited the Met often. She found the hard materiality but detailed craftsmanship of the suits alluring. "They were made for men to go to war in, they represent a collective symbol power based on violence," she explained.
The suits' display in a museum setting further compounded their importance, their preciousness within the institutional context transforming them into art objects that idealize the violent masculinity and valorizing power they were designed to express. "I thought, what if we could get them out of these glass cases and let people touch them—could they lose some of their power? Could they impart it to others who have been historically disempowered?" So Thorarinsdottir partnered with The Met's arms and armor specialist Donald La Rocca to select three suits to 3-D scan in order to produce perfectly rendered replicas that could not only be seen outside of the confines of a museum, but also touched.
The artist also noted that, despite the hard exterior these suits of armor provided, they were fragile in their antiquity, "not to mention ultimately hollow"—a useful metaphor for the very outdated and limited understanding of manliness they represent. Her androgynous figures at Fort Tyron Park are placed in opposition of the armor replicas, as if they had just stepped out of them. They stand across from each other in the shadow of the Cloisters' crumbling medieval architecture, as if to question the value of manhood embodied in the archetype of the knight, a savior by virtue of violence, that Western culture has propped itself up on for centuries.
Such an enquiry is especially relevant now in a time when violent crimes are largely perpetrated by men. Indeed, a recent study published in International Journal of Forensic Mental Health found that nine out of ten murders are committed by men. Melanie-Angela Neuilly, as professor of Criminal Justice and Criminology at Washington State University, has noted in an interview with HuffPo that the cultural conditioning of men in contemporary society is to blame for what's become colloquially known as "toxic masculinity." "We raise our boys with an acceptance that violence will be part of their behaviors ('boys will be boys'), while teaching them to repress all feelings except for anger ('boys don't cry'), in a society which objectifies girls and women," she told HuffPo. This, she believes, forces them to "replicate patterns they have learned during their childhoods, patterns which…are ultimately reinforced in a number of ways in a masculine culture of violence."
Thorarinsdottir explained that she sees armor as a materialization of man's aggression and a testament to the violence that is central to our lives. But beyond their cultural significance, "these suits are also just extravagant forms of protection," she said. The artist hopes that her androgynous figures, unburdened by gendered identifiers and ostensibly freed from the centuries-old outfit they inhabited, reveal the uncanny strength of the individual inside to redefine oneself.

Like clockwork, every few months, London techno-bot Lone (a.k.a. Matt Cutler) releases some very…"Lone-esque" material.
What can he tell you? The man likes the sounds he likes. And he sticks to them. And while there is some variation in beat style from release to release, a Lone track is always, above all, best described as "a soaringly melodic Lone track."
Unsurprisingly, Ambivert Tools Vol. 3 sounds a lot like the first two volumes, though its lead track and standout "Temples" is perhaps a bit flutier, junglier, more comedown than comeup. This is supposedly the last installment in a lil' trilogy, anyhow; so the fact that this is music for the post-peak makes some sense.
Anyway, like I said: it's Lone. So, you already know if you like him, and you already know if you don't. The dude is consistent, at least. Stream "Temples" for yourself down below, and head to Bandcamp to pre-order it today. (If you dig Lone, that is.)

The swaddle4swaddle program is possible in part because of you! Every time someone like you purchases one of our swaddle blankets we donate a similar blanket to a baby in a NICU through swaddle4swaddle.
One of our nephews was born with several complications and spent many months in a NICU, so we know--at least in a small way--how difficult times like that can be for babies and their parents. After getting a few orders from parents and caregivers of babies in NICUs, we felt a call to provide these children blankets for free, to help them feel a little more comfortable and to help their parents celebrate the miracle of their child's life.
It is a small gesture, we know, but one that has been very meaningful for these parents and for us as well. We invite you to join us in this effort, and all you have to do is order!
We thank you for supporting these precious babies and their families.
Thank you for making a difference!

[ad_1]Nannies play a very important role in the family system. However, being a nanny is a job that comes with many responsibilities. From looking after the children to doing chores in the home, a nanny's job can be rewarding and fulfilling though very challenging at the same time. However, most nannies would not consider switching jobs as they feel that they are making a real difference in the lives of the family they work for.
Being a nanny is a tough job. It requires you to be in good health both physically and mentally so that you can be fully present and attentive to the family and their needs. However this doesn't mean that you should let your own needs go unmet. A mentally exhausted nanny or one in poor health will be a detriment to a child as well as the entire family. Remember that you are not only an important part of the household, but that you are also important.
According to the experts at www.rockmybabynannyagency.co.uk you can do a number of things to maintain your health. The following are some steps that nannies can take to remain in the best possible physical and mental health.
Take Some Alone Time
By nature many nannies will work tirelessly the entire day making sure the children's needs are met and the home is in good order. However, this should not be at the expense of your health and wellbeing. Take time during the day to sit and rest, phone a friend, or otherwise relax. This will make you feel fresh and ready for whatever task comes next.
It is also very important to keep your work life and private life separate. People need space for themselves away from the work environment. Your life should remain your own and you should be careful about what you share with your employer. Without a private life, your job will become mundane and eventually it will leave you feeling tired and overworked.
Learn to Handle Stress
When performing their job duties, nannies are bound to encounter quite a few stressful circumstances. It is important to learn how to handle stressors in a way that will not leave you feeling emotionally drained. This is where problem solving techniques come in to play on the job. Stressful situations cannot be avoided in the world we live in today and if you are poor at handling stress, the effects will begin to show in your temperament and your health. Training in stress reduction techniques is immensely beneficial not only for handling work stress, but personal one as well.
Health and Well-being is Important
If you don't take care of your health, then you will not be able to provide the essential nanny services that are required by the family you work for.Get regular health check-ups and maintain a healthy diet. Exercise is also an important part of staying healthy. It improves brain function and gets the blood pumping through your body. If you begin to find that you are sick often, or that you are getting frequent headaches or other medical complaints, take a look at your job. Are you being asked to do too much? Have you had enough time off or have you taken any vacation days? Everyone needs a break from the job and nannies are no exception to this rule.
Become Active and Involved
For live-in nannies it isextremely important to go out of the house and be involved in the outside world away from the family home that you both live and work in. It is easy to get accustomed to routines when running a household and completely incorporate them into your own life.Experts agree that this is not healthy and it is important to go out and create your own space and life away from the job place. For instance, getting away for a long weekend or planning some shopping excursions during your off time will help you maintain your focus as well as your independence.
If You Have Questions Just Ask
Being a nanny is an ever-changing job where you never stop learning. There are times you can go with the flow of things or make your own decisions on what is best for the children, but there are bound to be questions that you just don't know the answer to. Certain circumstances may require you to make some changes in the way you take care of the children or perform tasks around the house. When in doubt about anything, in any situation, simply ask. It is how you gain knowledge and experience and how you continue to grow.

Click on the link: http://en.allexperts.com/e/m/mo/modern_celts.htm
Six nations tend to be most associated with a modern Celtic identity, and are considered 'the Celtic nations'. These are:
Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittany, Cornwall, the Isle of Man
It is these 'Six Nations' that (alone) are considered Celtic by the Celtic League, and the Celtic Congress. These organizations ascribe to a definition of Celticity based upon language. In the aforementioned six regions, Celtic languages have long survived and in the cases of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Brittany continue to be used.
A number of activists on behalf of other regions/nations have also sought recognition as modern Celts, reflecting the wide diffusion of ancient Celts across Europe. Of these, the following regions are prominent:
Galicia, Asturias, England
In neither Galicia nor Asturias has a Celtic language survived, and as such both fall outside of the litmus test used by the Celtic League, and the Celtic Congress. Nevertheless, many organizations organized around Celticity consider that both Galicia and Asturias "can claim a Celtic cultural or historic heritage." [1]. Justification for these claims to Celticity derive from similarities in music, dance, folklore, and culture to the other widely recognized Celtic countries. Further support is drawn from findings that the populations of northwestern Spain and those of other Celtic regions share a common genetic makeup.The Longue Durée of Genetic Ancestry: Multiple Genetic Marker Systems and Celtic Origins on the Atlantic Facade of Europe, American Journal of Human Genetics
England has a wealth of Celtic music, dance, folklore and culture, and the Cumbric language was identified with northwestern England until long after the Norman invasion. England as a whole comprises many distinct regions, with some acknowledging a larger Celtic identity than others.
Comment: It may come as a surprise to many readers of this blog but England can be considered to be a Celtic nation as the population is largely descended from Celtic forebears. According to the latest research there is more genetic evidence from Vikings in the north-east than from Angles and Saxons in the South. Most of the Germanic peoples settled in the area ruled by Offa in the Central Midlands and East Anglia. 67% of the DNA of England as a whole is considered Celtic with larger proportions in the north-west and south west and Kent and smaller proportions in the centre (Mercia) and the east.

Beautiful Round Foyer Table
Lobbies and corridors, are sometimes forgotten when we are decorating our house or apartment. Starting from the basis that all spaces in the house are important, we must think that it is the first vision that a person has of your house. When there are not too many options because of lack of space, you should not eat your head. A beautiful round foyer table with a vase with flowers on it is a very recurring choice, but at the same time very successful.
When choosing the round foyer table it is important that it is not a decision made at random. When you can only put a couple of furniture is important that they provide a different touch to that area of the house. In this case, the chosen sideboard is quite simple, but the mirror and the flowers of the vase give it a certain rococo touch that is enough.
A set of elongated table and mirror can transform your lobby; in addition, if you put ornaments will give your lobby a very personal character and style. We recommend you to place lamps in the lobby that you can light as soon as you enter the house, and a small round foyer table where you can leave the keys. It is also very interesting to have a mirror where you can give yourself the last touch before leaving home or before opening the door to any visit.

ECU celebrates International Women's Day
Published: 08/03/2016
Today is International Women's Day: a chance for women to celebrate their own successes and the great strides made in advancing gender equality.
In a blog for WonkHE, ECU's Ellen Pugh looks at how far we have come since the 1980s and explores the barriers that still exist for women progressing to senior leadership roles in higher education.
The theme of International Women's Day this year is parity. Ellen will be joining a panel of experts on the Guardian Higher Education Network to share thoughts, discuss experiences, analyse suggestions and answer your questions on how things stand for women working in higher education. You can join the chat live at 12 noon today.
Last week saw the launch of Women Count: Leaders in Higher Education 2016, a report into the representation of women as chairs, vice-chancellors and members of governing bodies. The report recognises the collective action to increase women's leadership that has been taking place across the sector, including targets of 40% women governing body members have been set in HEFCE's Business Plan. It also recognises how ECU's Athena SWAN charter has been embraced as a sector standard.

If there's one thing I know how to do well, it's long-haul flights! I actually don't mind flying and long flights just means I can shut off, unwind away from the nitty gritty of the internet and have time to myself without feeling guilty for it.
I've been lucky to fly first class a couple of times but my inflight essentials don't change nonetheless. As much as I try to minimize certain areas of my life; the things i take onboard is not one of them. Whether I'm sitting in economy or first, my routine remains the same and if anything the below makes flying in economy feel like first class.
I try and find some balance between extra cosy and feeling good, because as much as I love being comfortable, ya girl does not look good in joggers!
I find a nice pair of soft trousers are ideal for travelling, along with a loose fitting top, and a super comfy jumper. Sometimes I'll bring more of a loungewear outfit for changing in to, so I have a travelling outfit for in the airport/arriving, which is always a good idea!
The loungewear section of ASOS is always a shout, and I have this pair of comfies from when I travelled to America in.
I always, always pack a blanket scarf with me too – since you can wear them on the ground, plus they're great as an extra blanket or pillow when you're in the air.
As for shoes, slip-ons are good for getting through security and kicking off when you're on the plane. Loafers are my go to, practical but classy. I always take my shoes off as soon as I'm board and put on some White Company cashmere socks. Extra comfy and so warm!
Beauty Essentials
Probably the most important, if you ask me! I always pack face wipes because they're great for freshening up and some cheap flannels which I don't mind throwing away, it might seem like a waste but it feels like a little luxury while in the air to run them under hot water and steam your face. I usually pack two per flight, one for the beginning of the flight and one before landing. Another favourite is some form of sheet face mask. Not so great for the other passengers but I swear by these for keeping my skin hydrated when I travel, as the plane can be quite drying. The Garnier Moisture Bomb sheet masks are my absolute favourite at the moment.
In terms of my actual skincare, I stick to my three firm favourites; a booster, a serum and a moisturiser. I start by using the Elizabeth Arden Superstar Skin Booster, then the Advanced Ceramide Capsules, followed by Illuminating Moisturiser by Omorovicza. I then leave them to work their magic, allowing my skin to soak up the goodness. All three products leave me with soft, silky skin with a gorgeous glow.
Other absolute essentials for me are hand sanitiser, hand cream, lip balm and a big bottle of water because planes dehydrate me like nothin' else (and they're also a bit gross too, so han san is always a good idea!). Perfume and deodorant are also going to come in handy – you'll thank yourself later!
I also like to keep my holy grail of all holy grail products the colour correcting primer, a concealer and mascara on hand, for when I arrive. It's low maintenance but definitely perks me up a little bit.
I hate the feeling of being without when it comes to travelling, so if I can carry it, it's in keeping with the liquid restrictions and I really think I'll need it, I'll just pack it. An extra jumper, a fresh set of clothes, my skincare routine… anything to make the travelling that little bit easier.

Leader of Hacker Group LulzSec Is Arrested
The core member of the hacking group Lulz Security was arrested today. The 19-year-old boy who used "Topiary" as a nickname online was a LulSec cofounder, unofficial spokesman and aesthetic center.
Within 50 days, LulSec attacked the FBI, the CIA, and Sony, leaked ten of thousands of emails and passwords.
Topiary also helped plan the hack of the security firm HBGary with future LulzSec members in a secret room on the chat network belonging to the hacktivist collective Anonymous. Topiary was also the most visible member of the group as he always willing to boast about the latest attacks in the public network, Twitter. He also hosted a videochat victory party with about a dozen non-LulzSec friends the night the group hacked PBS and posted a fake story about Tupac, sharing links to hacked pages as they appeared, and making prank calls to what one person in attendance claimed was the White House situation room.
Topiary's arrest shows that even the most senior members are vulnerable to legal punishment. Another core member, Tflow , a 16-year-old British boy was also arrested last week.

In 2014, Commie Bill de Blasio who back in the day supported the Nicaraguan Sandinistas and is proud of it ran for mayor of New York City on the platform of "a tale of two cities." de Blasio's goal (to hear him tell it) was to bring the City together as one.
Enter 2016 and New York is about as divided as the rest of the nation has become since Barack Obama walked into the White House several years ago. Adding to that, the City as a result of Commie Bill's social engineering policies and war on law enforcement has reverted to being as back asswards, dangerous, chaotic and miserable as it was twenty-six years ago when David Dinkins was mayor.
Giving credit where credit is due, New Yorkers have come together as "one City;" but solely on account of our revulsion for Commie Bill, his wife, comrades in the New City Council and cronies.
These Marxist ideologues have set in motion policies whose endgame is the fleecing every New Yorker, taking no prisoners leaving all from the hardest working to the poorest bone dry.
Because no one escapes the fleecing, NYC's treasury should be bursting at the seams, as deduced by New Yorkers on along with the certainty that de Blasio and Klan are illegally siphoning the funds from city coffers.
Commie Bill has taken ownership of the two cities for which he once despised. In fact, de Blasio's imaginary two cities have become a nightmare festered by a useless ideologue. Ditto that for his wife, Chirlane McCray who most New Yorkers believe is the real mayor of New York.
New York Times by J. David Goodman
The central message of Mayor Bill de Blasio's re-election pitch appeared clear, even early in his administration: After a winning 2013 campaign that deplored the "tale of two cities," the mayor's bid for a second term would be founded on his mission to create "one city" for all New Yorkers.
Words of unity adorned banners placed behind Mr. de Blasio at public events and the official names on his agenda: a plan for the city's future titled OneNYC; a policing strategy named One City, Safe and Fair Everywhere; and a nonprofit formed to buttress the mayoral agenda, the Campaign for One New York.
But in recent months, as overlapping investigations have swamped City Hall, the notion that Mayor de Blasio has brought about a single unified city — a theme that mayoral advisers believed could lure New Yorkers into the fold who voted against him last time — appears to have all but vanished as an argument for his re-election in 2017….
Like hell, it is no secret that Bill de Blasio's 2017 re-election platform of "one city" is a fallacy and a pipe dream.
Just because they espouse it do not make it so. De Blasio and his policies are so despised that New Yorkers who did not vote for de Blasio the first time around will for damn sure not vote for the thug in 2017.
As for those who failed to vote in the 2014 NYC Mayoral election, most have every intention in November 2017 of righting that wrong. EVERYONE wants de Blasio gone and de Blasio knows it. (H/t Rifleman III Journal.)
"…While the 'one city' banners remain, the inquiries into Mr. de Blasio and his aides have sapped much of the mayor's ability to court new voters at the moment, some of his advisers believe, especially skeptical whites who have mostly shunned the mayor's agenda.
They also have given new hope to potential challengers in 2017: Bradley Tusk, a former close adviser to Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and the architect of Uber's successful bid to oppose Mr. de Blasio's regulatory efforts, is vowing to organize aggressively in support of the mayor's defeat in a Democratic primary….
Bradley Tusk? A Michael Bloomberg flunky? Now that's a tough one. Bloomberg approved permits for all of his real estate buddies when in office which resulted in an endless stream of high-rise commercial and non-commercial properties throughout the city. As a result, many New Yorkers lost their businesses, jobs and homes (eminent domain).
Example: Michael Bloomberg in collusion with Scot Rattner and the Working Families Party headed by Bertha Lewis pushed for properties in downtown Brooklyn which resulted in job and property loss. The Bloomberg-Rattner-Working Families Party and New York Times marriage resulted in the Barclays Center, downtown Brooklyn.
Compounding the nightmare, de Blasio who ran on walking back permits and the development of commercial and non-commercial properties once in office has instead doubled down on Bloomberg's efforts making Nanny Bloomberg's agenda look like a cakewalk.
De Blasio is no better as new properties are sprouting up in neighborhoods undergoing gentrification, a little too fast for comfort or safety.
About that "tale of two cities," de Blasio OWNS IT.
The shifting political landscape has forced Mr. de Blasio to retool his strategy: His aides said the new game plan was to highlight the mayor's accomplishments, portray him as a capable manager of its day-to-day and long-term needs, and shore up support among the core constituencies that have long backed him, including labor unions and liberal activists.
Surrogates have blasted out a litany of mayoral achievements in email, on Twitter and in op-eds. Aides have pointed to supportive words from a small number of voices rising to defend the mayor…."
Returning to the "two cities" theme, the mayor has fashioned an array of boogeymen to rail against, from "billionaire media owners" and hedge fund managers to state investigatory agencies and Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who has been increasingly willing to punch back publicly. It is a refrain that the mayor has underscored since a recent strategy discussion in which he embraced the idea, one adviser said.
'We said we would take on the tale of two cities,' Mr. de Blasio told the crowd at his birthday fund-raiser last month. 'But those who believe the tale of two cities is somehow ordained, they will fight to preserve it….'"
Commie Bill aka Nanny Bloomberg on steroids.
De Blasio with his newfound platform, i.e., "tale of one city" is a fallacy, one of which is not lost on New Yorkers.
People living in communities undergoing gentrification, many of whom are middle class or living near or beneath the poverty level will be forced from their homes due to high rents and the increased cost of living in those neighborhoods which are now being transformed into tourist and business areas.
Case in point, commercial and non-commercial properties sprouting up in communities surrounding the Barclays Center (mentioned) above. Many of the properties office buildings and hotels such as the Holiday Inn, Marriott, Nevins etc. intended during tourists and the business community. Speaking of which, therein lies the reason that tickets for performances at the Barclays Center are practically off-limits to the average New Yorker but available to "first responders", businesses and tourists traveling to the City courtesy of, their hotel and vacation packages.
Another of which de Blasio and comrades are most proud of is the war on charter schools and the Black and Hispanic children who attend the charters.
Just last week, Success Academy founder, Eva Moskowitz, announced that the cancellation of its pre-K program for the 2016-17 school year.
Besides his long-standing vendetta against Moskowitz, Commie Bill doing the bidding of the United Federation of Teacher's is withholding state funding from Success Academy Charters (SA) unless SA signs a 241-page contract "granting the city detailed control of its pre-K programs, right down to the curriculum and rules for recess."
Moskowitz who refused to allow de Blasio unfeter control over Success Academy will most likely pursue the matter in court especially since de Blasio's mandate is an overreach.
Mona Davids, president of the New York Charter Parents Association and the New York City Parents Union who has been known to stand with the UFT stated that "Success is right to reject micromanagement from a school system with a proven track record of failure: 'It is a shame to lose a high quality pre-K program because de Blasio has a vendetta….'"
Disclosure: Since my grandson attends SA, I can attest that much is demanded of their teachers who work as hard as the students, something which does not bode well with the teachers' union.
In April, as Success headed to court to make the mayor pay, more than 36,000 parents signed a petition to save the pre-K program. Now, in an open letter, parents of children accepted into Success pre-K for the fall accuse him of playing politics at the expense of their kids' education: "You say you care about all kids but then discriminate against public charter kids and families."
De Blasio's power play and latest act of vengeance against Moskowitz will deprive hundreds of Black and Hispanic children the education they so richly deserve.
More de Blasio accomplishments: Diminished Quality of Life, Useless contractors and blowing up NYC's infrastructure.
Vision Zero, implemented in several states program is a power and money grab and while I have no idea how it's working out in other states, de Blasio's implemented of another social engineering policy that we could do without has transformed New York City into one massive traffic jam.
Red-light cameras on every street corner, pointed in every direction and making it illegal for New Yorkers to drive more than 25 mph.
Throw all of the ridiculous bike, bus lanes and service roads into the mix and it now takes New Yorkers twice as long to drive from Brooklyn to midtown Manhattan as it does to travel by subway and bus.
The Vision Zero initiative was implemented under the guise of reducing traffic injuries and deaths which I strongly doubt judging from the now chaotic roadways and sounds of traffic passing by my apartment window. That and fact that the de Blasio administration has as of this past February suddenly stopped releasing any public crash data.
Talking points: The City is "transitioning to a new electronic crash data reporting system," after which the data will be updated.
…NYPD also stopped posting its monthly crash reports after February. However, the department recently resumed publishing crash data on the city's open data portal, after the feed went dark for about two months.
We asked de Blasio's office when City Hall expects the new Vision Zero View system to come online, and why the city can't continue publishing data on the current platform while the new one is in development.
'We expect the feed to be restored this summer at which point any old data will be posted retroactively,' de Blasio spokesperson Austin Finan replied via email….
Moving on —
As for the infrastructure which today is worse than it has been in years, every winter the de Blasio administration's makes a public announcement that the City has work crews out filling the pot holes that came about due to snow and the salt spreaders.
Mind you they are the same damn potholes that was supposedly filled the year before last and the year before that yet no one in the media or the administration would dare to hold the feet of contractors or city workers (whoever) filling the potholes to the fire for substandard work.
It should be noted that many of the streets that are being ripped apart every winter by the same contractors or city workers show no visible signs of damage. Just saying.
Legalization of urinating and drinking publicly on the streets of New York and other offenses that diminish the quality of life? If caught the culprit will not be detained. Instead the culprit will receive a $ummon$.
Oh yes and the transgender bathrooms. Most New Yorkers are not as politically correct as the rest of the nation believes. De Blasio's overreach in this area is another nail in the Commie petard's coffin of the ground hog killer despised by everyone except his fellow Communist crooks in the New York City Council who voted themselves a 32% salary increase and the likes of Bertha Lewis and her Working Families Party whose pockets are bulging courtesy of their comrades in City Hall and all of whom are the bain of New York City's existence….LITERALLY!
Bill de Blasio, one-term mayor should be sent packing with his tail between his legs. New Yorkers owe it to ourselves to send this ideologue packing. If only we could find someone worthy enough to audit City Hall.

Hey friends, miss me? Jordan back again with another post. In all honesty, I haven't decided if I'll make a full comeback to writing posts or not, but I can assure you that me and the MAC crew have some cool stuff planned for the future.
Anyway, let's get into this review, or lack-there-of.
I love music. I love most types, except for a choice few. This album…. fell into one of those categories. I couldn't listen to the entire thing. Now to say these guys aren't talented would be a lie. I'm a sucker for acoustic guitar, and it was beautiful from what I could stand to listen to. The vocalist, though, was what got to me. Won't say that he's a bad singer, but the tone and lyrical style just drove me up the wall. I couldn't do it. I gave this album probably 4 attempts to listen all the way through, and I failed every time.
Each attempt I started from the beginning of the album and tried to power through, but to no avail. Then I decided to try out of order. No luck.
Overall I can't even give this album a rating. I respect the musical talent of the group, but it's just not my style.
That's it for now, be sure to check out Weekly Waves Vol. 17: Seattle Rocks on Spotify and Apple Music!

(The Sports Xchange) – Highlights from National Basketball Association games on Friday:
Timberwolves 119, Thunder 116
Jimmy Butler scored a season-high 25 points, including 13 in the fourth quarter to lead the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 119-116 victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday.
Karl-Anthony Towns had season highs with 33 points and 19 rebounds, and Jeff Teague added 17 points and 10 assists for Minnesota, which beat Oklahoma City last Sunday on a buzzer-beating 3-pointer by Andrew Wiggins.
Wiggins chipped in 14 points on Friday, and Taj Gibson had his best game with the Timberwolves with 16 points on 8-of-12 shooting and eight rebounds.
Warriors 120, Wizards 117
Golden State shook off a terrible shooting effort in the first half and the loss of forward Draymond Green to a technical foul to erase an 18-point second-half deficit.
The Warriors missed on 17 of 20 3-point attempts in the first half then lost Green when he and Washington Wizards' guard Bradley Beal got into a fight in front of the Washington bench with 19.5 seconds left in the first half.
Washington got the lead up to 18 points twice midway through the third quarter, but Steph Curry, who had been chilly throughout, knocked home two 3s and two free throws in the final 57 seconds of the third quarter to get the Warriors within 10, down 97-87.
Nuggets 105, Hawks 100
The Denver Nuggets snapped a five-season losing streak in Atlanta, spoiling the Hawks' home opener and making a winner of Paul Millsap in his return to Philips Arena.
Milllsap scored seven of his 16 points down the stretch for the Nuggets, who won in Atlanta for the first time since March 16, 2011.
Gary Harris and Will Barton each had 18 points for the Nuggets, while Nikola Jokic also contributed 18 points and added 15 rebounds.
Knicks 107, Nets 86
Kristaps Porzingis scored 30 points as the New York Knicks pulled away in the third quarter and beat the Brooklyn Nets.
Porzingis helped the Knicks avoid their first 0-4 start since dropping the first five games of the 59-loss 2005-06 season by making 13 of 24 shots.
The third-year forward thrived against most defenders the Nets put on him, but seemed to do his best work against Rondae-Hollis Jefferson. He turned in his third 30-point game of the season as the Knicks rebounded from Tuesday's 110-89 loss at Boston.
Rockets 109, Hornets 93
James Harden had a triple-double with 27 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds as the Houston Rockets pulled away late over the Charlotte Hornets.
The Rockets finished 22 of 57 from 3-point range, for 38.6 percent. They made six more 3-pointers than they did 2-pointers in the game.
The 57 3-point attempts were the second-most in a game in NBA history, just four shy of the 61 the Rockets attempted to set the record last year. They have now attempted 50 or more 11 times in the past two seasons.
Magic 114, Spurs 87
Evan Fournier scored 25 points and the upstart Orlando Magic demolished the previously unbeaten San Antonio Spurs.
The Magic (4-1) started fast and never slowed. They led by 14 points after the first quarter, 27 at halftime and by 31 points after three periods. They led by as many as 36 midway in the third.
Magic reserve Jonathon Simmons, who played in San Antonio the past two seasons, had 17 points. Aaron Gordon scored 16 points and Nikola Vucevic 15 for the Magic.
Raptors 101, Lakers 92
The Toronto Raptors rallied from a 17-point second-quarter deficit and took advantage of a four-minute scoreless stretch by the Los Angeles Lakers.
DeMar DeRozan scored eight of his 24 points in the final 6:10 to secure Toronto's sixth consecutive win against Los Angeles. Kyle Lowry finished with 11 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists for his ninth career triple-double.
The Lakers took an 83-80 lead on a 3-pointer by Josh Hart with 6:56 remaining, but the Lakers didn't score again until 2:50 remained, getting outscored 14-0 in between.

The UVC will strengthen conflict research in insecure places and the ways that conflict is researched, while building local research capacity in these places through two distinct methods:
- Investing in building and strengthening inter-disciplinary, local research networks in conflict-affected countries, and developing an approach that engages local researchers in all stages of research, i.e., from research design, data collection, analysis of data, writing up, to publication and dissemination of results. By involving local researchers in all stages of our research agenda, we create shared ownership, increase researchers' trust in their own capacities, and establish international partnerships that provide mutual benefits while we produce high-quality, evidence-based scholarship.
- Developing training modules on fieldwork and ethics methods in insecure places. Some of our partners have also pioneered remote research methods in making use of civil society, activities, media, and research networks; while others conduct data-driven analyses on conflicts and peace processes, building on recent advances in geographic information system (GIS) and other digital technology. The UVC aims to collate these experiences and innovations in conflict research methods, develop training modules, and provide methods trainings across its research networks and partners.

I admit that me and my friend do this sometimes. Every member of a squad is important in my opinion, having that extra man can win you battles and matches regardless of the skill level but with that being said, we have and likely will again leave that third man to his/her fate but not without a good reason for doing so.
If we're in the endgame and we have superior positioning and that random third person decides to jet off on thier own and die then I'm sorry but we're not giving up the superior, potentiallly game winning positioning to come and rez them. That person WILL be left to die, it's that simple. It sounds harsh I know and generally if a squadmate goes down in or after combat we will rez but most certainly not in late game situations like that.
The same can also be said for early game too. If that random third person decides they're a fkin hero and starts engaging in combat when we've got no armour and nothing but a mozam then yeah sorry, we're taking our time to get some gear so we actually stand a chance and if you die it's on you. Sure we'll respawn you when we're comfortable but we're not rushing on over. Just because that third person might have what they need to start fighting doesn't mean that the other squadmates do. I can't even count the amount of times where I've pinged "I need a weapon" only for it to be ignored and for a suadmate to start battling it out with another three man squad thinking we're going to have thier back when all I've got is fists and no armour.
In certain siatuations we'll leave that third person to die, it's just how it is, as harsh as it may seem.

@Zriyvhriex, lolz I got what you meant! Thats why I began my previous post with that I misinterpreted your msg XD. Every game should be played with the intention of having fun, so basically thats why I didn't comment on your post further XD.
Yey I got my first awesome comment of the day... Just a little sad that it was made on a forum for some reason tho... XD. Or it should be even better since I haven't done anything amazing! Thanks for the compliment! You are... *looks in dictionary* complimentious XD
@ThatFawkzi you are entirely in your right in such situations. More likely than not such ppl die instantly and leave anyways. I can't tell you how many times the second situation happend and me and my buddy were actually glad they left. Cause for some reason we win more with just us two than with that random third person. So continue to do you!

Often when I'm playing with 'random' teammates 2 will pair off together and die quickly. Then I have feel obligated to try and recover the 2 lemmings' banners knowing that I will almost certainly die doing so. What I don't understand is why these lemmings don't ever seem to change their behaviour. Also the rage of some lemmings who blame survivors for their death is irrational because each player is responsible for their own life. This is why I kick myself for trying to recover banners of lemmings who will either rage/rage quit immediately or I'll get kille din the effort.

I feel for this post BIG TIME. This community really sucks. My main experience with this game has been really crappy strictly because of other players ruining it for me. Not playing as a team. If you were meaning to make it a team based battle royal then you should have implemented and punishment system for not playing as one. I understand new ppl are constantly joining which is good. But they're leaving just as fast because everyone plays for themselves. When I started I was constantly trying to help in fights and revive or Respawn. But I've been passed up to much and now I'm turning into that type of player because if I don't, I feel the game won't be enjoyable. Which is sad. I think the community needs to get its head outta is ***

I think it just comes down to how much people think you are playing their game, people get carried away with their own agenda while playing. It's just a lack of tolerance and people have a tendency to leave a game before they've even thought properly about it. It's just seconds nature for them to leave at the start of the game if they get downed.
Hey there I'm a volunteered Champion! I don't work for EA I just like to help out around the forums, keep the peace and submit ideas to the community.
Did I answer your question? Please leave some tasty XP or even mark as a solution!

@ApexIsNotRefind In my experience the toxicity is the FPS community, not just Apex.
Try not to let the bad experiences hinder your judgement when you get good team mates. It does happen and when you're part of a helpful team, it feels great.
Players may have just left a game where they were let down or trolled by their team and then reflect that at you when they join you in a squad.
I lost 2 team mates the other day. The squad that killed them were hanging around looting and although I was looking at their banners, I could not go and pick up them up and they timed out. They then spectated me running off to hide to try to stay in the top 5 of the elite lobby. Que the laughter from them "oh he's hiding" blah blah, and laughed when I get battered by a team of 3.
Next game, new team mates, completely different story. Just ignore any flack you may get and make the best of any situation. Ping and be helpful and your actions will be reciprocated in more matches than not (in most circumstances)
Happy hunting

4 Important Reasons to Deep Clean Your Home
There's something about spring bursting into bloom that gives us the motivation to start anew, especially when it comes to our homes.
It's so popular that "spring cleaning" is the common phrase used to refer to the deep clean many people do this time of year.
But more significant than its popularity, this ritual holds several benefits that make deep cleaning your home especially important. Here are four reasons why you should give your home some extra attention this spring.
Boost your concentration. A tidy, uncluttered home can have the same impact on your mental state. If the home is messy, the mind may have to operate at maximum potential, working to locate misplaced items or taking focus off simple chores. But when everything is well-organized, it frees up time and mental energy to be more efficient and to think more clearly.
Create a welcoming environment. A clean home can have influence on your social life. If you avoid inviting friends or family over because your home is in a disorderly state, then you're missing out on quality time and inviting stress into your life that isn't necessary. Once you get your home clean, you'll want to share this pleasant environment with others!
Improve your health. A spotless home is also good for your health. Eliminate pet dander, stains, trash and clutter with a deep cleaning to help enhance your protection against germs and disease. Clutter plus small children can be a dangerous combination, especially if small items are easily available and they can put them in their mouths, posing a choking hazard.
Relax! Between work, kids, social obligations and responsibilities around the home, it can be difficult to find the time to slow down and rest. Maintaining a clean and healthy home can be especially challenging given everything else in your life. But you can trust a thorough deep cleaning of your home to the professionals so you can relax and spend time with the ones you love.
For a limited time, Sweet Home Cleaning Service is offering a $35 off a deep cleaning service! Call 251-586-4081 or submit your request for a quote here to get started!
