Nintendo's social mobile app, Miitomo, has announced that it will be closing its services May 9th. The game was a fun and friendly way to communicate with friends, offering participants the chance to create Miis they could use to express themselves by dressing them up, customizing their spaces, and answering personal preference questions. They could then be used to play mini-games and visit the homes of friend's Miis (think Tomodachi Life.)
Following a strong release in 2016 and much praise, the fan base quickly moved on. The upcoming closure isn't shocking, but still sad for some.
To send the app off, Nintendo will be having a Miifoto contest, where participants can tweet their favorite Miitomo memory and are devoting all questions in the app's answer central to Miitomo memories.
Miitomo was a fun take on being social online. It was ambitious and will be missed.
Thanks, Miitomo!

Biotechnology is the use of living systems and organisms to develop or make useful products. It harnesses cellular and biomolecular processes to develop technologies and products that help improve our health and lives.
Modern biotechnology provides breakthrough solutions and technologies to combat debilitating and rare diseases, reduce our environmental footprint, feed the hungry, use less and cleaner energy, and have safer and more efficient industrial manufacturing processes.
Humans have been using biotechnology to improve the quality of life, especially in the areas of food production and health.
Red biotechnology is applied to medical processes, some examples are the designing of organisms to produce antibiotics and the engineering of genetic cures through genomic manipulation. White biotechnology is applied to industrial process and green biotechnology is applied to agricultural processes.
Applications of Biotechnology in agriculture
The green revolution succeeded in increasing yield of crop due to use of improved varieties of crops and use of agrochemicals, i.e., fertilizers and pesticides. However, for farmers in the developing world, agrochemicals are often too expensive, and further increase in yield with existing varieties is not possible using conventional farming processes.
Further, to increase the crop production,manure, fertilizers, pesticides, etc. This method, cannot increase the yield of crop to an appreciable re solution of this problem is use of genetically modified crops.
Genes of plants, bacteria, fungi and animals have been changed by manipulations for various purposes, therefore, organisms are called Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO). The behaviour of a GMO depends on the nature of genes transferred, nature of host such plant, as bacterium, animal, etc.
Genetically modified crops using Biotechnology:
GM crops contain and express one or more useful foreign genes or transgenes. The technique of GM crops has two advantages, first, any gene from any organism or a synthetic gene can be incorporated and second, change in genotype is precisely controlled.
Some applications of genetically modified crops and examples of Biotechnology are :
– They can help to reduce the use of chemical pesticides.
– They are more tolerant to abiotic stresses (cold, drought, salt, heat, etc.).
– They have helped to reduce post-harvest losses.
– They prevent early exhaustion of fertility of soil.
– They enhance nutritional value of food, e.g., vitamin- A enriched rice.
– They are herbicide resistant, i.e., herbicides (weed killers) do not harm the GM crops. They also are disease resistant.
– They have been used to create alternative resources to industries in the form of starches, fuels and pharmaceuticals.
Production of transgenic plants using Ti plasmid in Biotechnology
The vector used to introduce new genes into plant cells is most often a plasmid from the soil bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens. This bacterium is called natural genetic engineer because genes carried by its plasmid produce effect in several parts of the plant. Its plasmid is called Ti plasmid (Tumour inducing plasmid), so called because in nature, it induces tumors in broad leaf plants such as tomato, tobacco and soyabean. For using Ti plasmid as a vector, researchers have eliminated its tumour causing properties while keeping its ability to transfer DNA into plant cells. The part of Ti plasmid transferred into plant cell DNA, is called the T-DNA.
Production of insect resistant plants using Biotechnology in Agriculture
The bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) has family of different proteins which naturally produce chemicals harmful to selective insects, most notably the larvae of moths and butterflies, beetles, cotton bollworms and flies, and harmless to other forms of life.
B. thuringiensis forms some protein crystals. These crystals contain a toxic insecticidal protein.
This toxin does not kill the Bacillus (bacterium) because it exists as inactive protoxins in them. But, once an insect ingests, it is converted into an active form of toxin due to the alkaline of the alimentary canal.
The toxin molecules attach themselves to specific locations on the cadherin-like proteins present on the epithelial cells of the midge and ion channels are formed which allow the flow of potassium. Regulation of potassium concentration is essential and if left unchecked causes death of cells. The death of such cells creates gaps in the brush border membrane. The gaps then allow bacteria and (Bt) spores to enter the body cavity resulting in the death of the organism.
Through genetic engineering Bt toxin genes were isolated from Bacillus thuringiensis and incorporated into the several crop plants. The choice of genes depends upon the crop and targeted pest, as most Bt toxins are insect-group specific. The toxin is coded by a gene named cry. Two cry genes cry I Errand cry II Ab have been incorporated in cotton.
The genetically modified crop is called Bt cotton as it contains Bt toxin genes against cotton bollworms. Similarly, cry I Ab has been introduced in Bt corn to protect the same from corn borer. B. thuringiensis has been used since world war I, particularly in Europe, to control some insect pests.
In India, Bt cotton has been enveloped in controversies due to its supposed links with seed monopolies and farmer suicides. However, the link between the introduction of Bt Cotton to India and a surge in farmer suicides has been refuted by other studies, with farmer suicides actually having fallen since the introduction of Bt cotton. Bt cotton accounts for majority of cotton grown in India.
Production of pest resistant plants using using Biotechnology
Many nematodes live in plants and animals including human beings. A nematode Meloidogyne incognita infests the roots of tobacco plants and causes a great reduction in yield. A novel strategy is adopted to prevent this infection that was based on the process of RNA interference (RNAi).
RNA interference (RNAi) is the phenomenon of inhibiting activity of a gene by synthesis of RNA molecules complementary to the mRNA. The normal (in vivo synthesized) mRNA of a gene is said to be "sense" because it carries the codons that are "read" during translation. Generally, the complement to the mRNA "sense" strand will not contain a sequence of codons that can be translated to produce a functional protein; thus, this complementary strand is called "anti-sense RNA". The anti-sense RNA and mRNA molecules will anneal to form duplex RNA molecules (or double stranded RNA) and the duplex RNA molecules can not be translated. Thus, the presence of anti-sense RNA will block translation of the mRNA of the affected gene.
Different steps involved in making tobacco plant resistant to nematode are as following :
– Double-stranded RNAs are processed into approximately 21-23 nucleotide RNAs. An RNase enzyme, called Dicer, cuts the dsRNA molecules (from a virus, transposon, or through transformation) into small interfering RNAs (si RNAs).
– Each siRNA complexes with ribonudeases (distinct from Dicer) to form an RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC).
– The sRNA unwinds and RISC is activated.
– The activated RISC targets complementary mRNA molecules. The si RNA strands act as guides where the RISCs cut the transcripts. This destroys the mRNA.
– When mRNA of the parasite is destroyed no proteins are synthesized. It results in the death of the parasite (nematode) in the transgenic host. Thus, the transgenic plant gets itself protected from the parasite.

Danielle Evans, known professionally as Dani Evans, was born on June 7, 1986, in Little Rock, Arkansas, and is an American fashion model. In May 2006, she won Cycle 6 of America's Next Top Model.
America's Next Top Model[edit | edit source]
Evans was thought by the judges to be one of the front-runners in the competition, noted for her striking face. It was not until the second half of the contest that she came under criticism for her heavy southern accent, which the judges felt was problematic, as the competition winner would shoot commercials for Covergirl; however, they acknowledged that she could work with a speech coach to eradicate her accent. In the finale, the judges were torn, with some of the judges preferring fellow finalist Joanie Dodds's versatile portfolio, while others (notably judge Nigel Barker) preferring Evans's "signature look." However, they felt Evans had the stronger in-person presence and commanded the final catwalk as well as having a stunning portfolio. Evans's charisma and charm edged out Dodds, and she was crowned the winner of the sixth cycle of America's Next Top Model.
Career[edit | edit source]
After the show, Danielle signed with Ford Models as part of her prize. However, she is currently signed with Click Model Management.
Print work[edit | edit source]
She has been featured in MetroStyle, ELLE, Elle Girl, Jewel Magazine, In Touch Weekly, Essence Magazine, Seventeen Magazine, The New York Post, PowerPlay Magazine, Ashro catalog, Sephora, Akademiks, CoverGirl eyewear, the Tory Burch line for Saks Fifth Avenue and Cover magazine. Venus magazine.
Runway[edit | edit source]
Evans has walked the runway for Issue, Victorio & Lucchino, Baby Phat Fall '07 and Zang Toi Fall '07, BET'S Rip the Runway, Style Salon, Jenni Kayne's spring collection fashion show, and Carlos Campos Fashion Design Fall 2009 during New York Fashion Week. She has received a showcard from her agency, Click Model Management, for NY Fashion Week. She is one of few ANTM alumnae to be given a showcard for fashion week, an honor she received multiple times. Evans also walked in Korto's finale show on Project Runway season 5. Evans walked for Y-3 and William Rast F/W 2010 New York Fashion Week. Evans walked for TRIAS, Farah Angsana and Mara Hoffman Fall 2011 New York Fashion Week. Evans also walked for Michael Knight and Zang Toi in NY Fashion Week Spring 2012 show (Sept. 2011).
Commercial[edit | edit source]
She has starred in the continuing CoverGirl commercial campaign on The CW entitled "My Life as a Cover Girl" during Fall 2006 as well as starring in a CoverGirl commercial with fellow CoverGirls Queen Latifah and Tiiu Kuik. Dani was one of only a few Top Model winners to have her CoverGirl contract renewed and do multiple ads for the brand. She has recently been featured as one of CoverGirl's Top Models in Action. In the summer of 2009, She appeared on the cover of Kouture Magazine. Her shoot appeared on YouTube. Evans also appeared in a 2013 commercial for Target's Everyday Collection. She has also appeared as a model on New York and Company's, the women's clothing retailer, website.

Since its establishment in the early '60s, the Archive has strived to collect at least one copy and one negative of every full-length film produced in Israel and pre-State of Israel - from the first Hebrew dramatic film Oded the Wanderer (1932) and up to the present day, with films such as Joseph Cedar's Oscar-nominated Beaufort (2007) and Eran Kolirin's The Band's Visit (2007) - for the benefit of generations to come.
Additionally, the Archive houses a large Israeli Documentary Cinema Collection taht includes thousands of documentary films produced since the establishment of the State of Israel. The Collection includes landmarks of Israeli documentary filmmaking, such as David Perlov's Diary (1983) and Ron Havilio's Fragments•Jerusalem (1986-1997). In addition, entire archives of Israeli government and cultural bodies are deposited in the Documentary Collection.
The Axelrod Newsreel and Pre-State Collection a unique and rare collection of films by the pioneer of Israeli film Nathan Axelrod between the years 1927 and 1958. It documents the establishment and development of Jewish settlements, as well as countless and priceless scenes from everyday life. Among the treasures found in the Axelrod Collection is the single copy of Israel's declaration of independence along with the camera with which it was filmed. Every day, we welcome researchers, filmmakers, students, museums, organizations, as well as private individuals requesting to see and/or purchase footage.
The film collection is preserved under the conditions set by FIAF and is available for public viewing in accordance with the film's condition.

Sidonia software demonstation game
Yestereday Ivan was showing off his chess program to someone from work and this is how the game went. In the days of Paul Morphy, he would often trounce his opposition, perhaps a famous politician or wealthy businessman, and Morphy's game would be published with "anon" for his opponents name. I have done the same here, as the game was for fun, to show my software at work, and was not a serious attempt to beat it.
Sidonia crashed once, right at the handover from the opening book handover from the GUI (Arena) to the start of thinking by the Chess Engine (Sidonia), but simply restarting Sidonia handled that with no interruption to the game. That is the beauty of a stateless chess engine protocol like UCI (Universal Chess Interface) compared to the older X-board interface.
More on the game might be added here later!

Author Lori Foster's Top 5 Favorite Dangerous Heroes
Romance author Lori Foster shares her top five favorite heroes in literature—of the dangerous variety!
I have loved soooo many dangerous heroes, but to choose my top five, I figured I'd go through different genres, with historical first. (Since historical romance is my first love—at least when I'm reading.)
That immediately brings to mind my favorite dangerous hero ever, Baron Duncan of Wexton—the Wolf—from Honors Splendour, by Julie Garwood. Such an amazing medieval romance. Duncan is incredibly powerful, invincible and, best of all, honorable. The way he protected and loved Lady Madelyne…sigh. The man had unending patience and an enormous heart to go with his "I'm in charge" attitude and ability. The dialogue is the absolute best. It will always remain one of my favorite romances.
When it comes to contemporary, I have to pick Joel Blackstone from Jayne Ann Krentz's Perfect Partners. Oh my, that book is so delicious. Not only supersexy with some laugh-out-loud banter, it has the best line ever: "Good news, Dixon, she doesn't need therapy." (If you haven't read it, you must! Then you'll be in on the joke!) Joel is the perfect mix of studly alpha, hard worker, wounded soul and considerate lover. I still reread it every so often, like visiting an old friend.
Moving on to paranormal, I'll have to say superhero Lachlain MacRieve, a big, strong Lykae who falls in love with his mortal enemy, a vampire female, in A Hunger Like No Other by Kresley Cole. The entire series is awesome, but I fell hard for Lachlain, in part because it was the first I read by Cole but also because it started out so gruesome (which I loved) and then the story had me cracking up (which I loved!) and then…wow. Mega sexy! It's sort of a mix of werewolves that don't get all nasty and furry, but rather have the power (aura) of the wolf, with Scottish touches, and some dominating male attitude and tons of hilarity. Really good stuff!
For Young Adult, I'll admit I've fallen hard for Katie McGarry stories—all of them! But Pushing the Limits is really special—because of Noah Hutchins. He's the tough guy, with long hair and a leather jacket and bad attitude—but he's also a very grown-up, mature young man who more than anything needs to get his family back…even while going all protective and wonderful for Echo. I love the happy ever after that Katie gave to him—and I love how Echo loves him. First love is always a special thing, and Katie knows how to do it right.
Lastly, futuristic. Warrior's Woman by Johanna Lindsey is amazing. I loved Tedra, I loved her computer Martha, but Challen Ly-San-Ter…wow! Challen is the ultimate alpha. A throwback to the age of "a man is the protector, period, and the little lady allows herself to be protected." Not that Tedra bought into it, and that's where it got so fun. Challen kept his man-card, but he also managed to win over an alpha female used to being a protector, herself. When the past meets the future, a guy has to really step up—and Challen did, in all the most important ways.
For more tales featuring dangerous heroes, be sure to check out these Lori Foster titles: Dash of Peril, Getting Rowdy, Bare it All and Run the Risk.

I'm guessing ms started affecting my life in July,2017. I just loss my job at a construction company and was just about to walk into a job interview for a valet company that was calling for me to work for them for 2 months because for their new contract and I had previous night auditing experience. While I pulled into the parking garage and hit my leg hard I mean really hard. So I had a limp that I thought it would go away But it stayed with me until this day. I was not the type of person that when to the doctor or hospital. So it's keep get worse slowly. I was the only person that could do my job because everyone they hired quit so I worked everyday for 2 months 80 + hours a week until I started getting really sick throwing up, my memory Got started going for my short time memory, not eating losing a lot and sleeping most of the day. My mom made me going to the hospital because I couldn't keep my balance. I went August 1,2017. At first the doctor didn't know what I had so they poking me every 2 hours. On day 3 they tried spinal tap and since it was a school and the doctor let a student do it failed, so the last day the real doctor did it got it on day 4. Day 5 I was discharged with the Diagnosis of ms and 3 week leave from work. Because my doctor told me that I just need to apply for disability because I will online get worse. But i did to work because my apartment at the time was 2000 a month. While I had to take the 3 week off work I did my boss was threatening to fire me and replace me so when I went back earlier. I went back I wil admit my work was slower then it was before but they let me work other month before they fired me after I full trained 2 people. They said my work was unsatisfactory. I looked for a job for 2 months after they find out I have ms their interest dies to hire me. So I applied for disability they rejected me once now I'm on my second case. I had to move back to my grandparents house because I can't find a job.

Satisfy your sweet tooth with candy buffets! Candy buffets pack a serious punch at your wedding – they are colorful, decorative, and fun! They add a splash of color and can serve as your guests' take-home favors.
*Emmaline Bride Tip: Create custom DIY candy bags at home using eco-friendly mini paper bags. Add a personalized touch (your initials, wedding date, or symbol) with monogrammed stamps (try Tickled Pink Paper + Ink) and place on candy buffet table. Don't forget fun candy scoops or tongs!
Use clear jars and add tags to indicate candy names / types. Add vintage tags + complete with brightly colored ribbon. Voila!

How to Plan the Perfect Wedding (or Bridal Shower) Candy Buffet:
1. Inspiration
Use images above as a guide, but make it your own! Incorporate your wedding color palette, wedding theme, and season.
2. Budget
Candy buffets look best when chock-full of goodies, so be sure to budget the cost of bulk candy. It can add up quickly, especially when attempting to fill many containers. Be sure to also plan ahead for containers, tongs/scoops and table accessories – i.e. favor tags, colorful paper, ribbon, etc.
3. Design
Get creative! Use vases, glass containers, and jars from home (or ask friends to lend to you!) Look for deals at local craft shops (try Michaels, Target, and Ikea).
Scope out local garage or estate sales for vintage containers and old-fashioned jars at next-to-nothing! Use different shapes, heights, and sizes to add dimension. Wider containers work best (remember, guest will be using a scoop, so the easier to get to the better!), and keep in mind that taller are more difficult to reach (especially for kids!)
Try adding vases of flowers, picture frames, and other colorful decor to the table to give a fuller look to your candy buffet table.
**Emmaline Bride Tip: Add a decorative banner hanging from the bottom of the table or on the wall for added charm "Our Sweet Shoppe" works well. (Find cute handmade banners at Earmark).
Don't forget to add a sweet sentiment. Try "Sweet Treats for the Ride Home", "For Sweet Dreams", "Love Sweet Love" or "Have a Sweet Night", or "Love Is Sweet".
4. Candy
It is recommended to use the following guidelines for candy amounts:
Large Parties / Weddings:
8-10 types of candy / 15-20 pounds each
Smaller Parties / Bridal Showers:
7-10 types of candy / 6-10 pounds each
Buy in bulk to save money! Try these stores that specialize in bulk sizes:
Variety, variety, variety!
Don't stick to one type of candy. Mix it up! Try individually wrapped, unwrapped, gummies, suckers, lollipops, rock candy, candy sticks, etc.
**Emmaline Bride staff picks:
-Gummy Bears
-Hershey Kisses
-Old-fashioned Candy Sticks
-Bright, colorful rock candy sticks (think hot pink)
-Mike and Ike's
5. Bags
Have fun with the candy bags! Choose bags that will not be too large (it will quickly deplete your supply!) but not too small (so guests can have fun mixing and matching). Add decals with your initials, choose colored bags, use small recycled paper bags and decorate with raffia, etc.
Make sure to also have ties available! Most guests won't want to eat all at one time, so let them save for later!
6. Enjoy!
{many thanks to simply stated for some tried & true tips!)

No disagreement from me; good threading of archives is immensely preferable to bad, just difficult to achieve.
Richard Williams
Incidentally, I think correct threading is very useful. It makes it
much easier if, say, you are trying to track down the answer to
something that was already asked years ago. I like it when I can find
the question and then follow the thread through. Otherwise I may have
to do a bunch of googling to find all the relevant posts.
I might also be happier with a web forum, but overall Statalist meets
my needs very well.

Every day, litigation professionals like court reporters, legal videographers, lawyers, paralegals, and legal staff use social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn to connect with clients, share and collect information, and build professional networks, but recent stories in the news remind us that information shared online is not as private as we think. While the use of social media may be helpful in the practice of law and the litigation professionals who support the legal industry, it also increases the possibility of ethical missteps.

Featuring a comfortable new design, the Muse-S multi-sensory band lulls you using neurofeedback and customized guided meditations.
Whether traveling for work or fun, the factors involved—the hassles, the time zone changes, the disrupted sleep—can throw our overall wellness out of whack. Aimed at grounding the body, centering and calming a busy mind and encouraging you to feel present, mediation can help get things back in balance; while you're not supposed to fall asleep during a meditation session, it can also help promote a more restful or deeper snooze come bedtime. Launched in January, the Muse S device aims to make meditating and sleeping while traveling easy by featuring a more comfortable design (so you can use it while lying down), award-winning neurofeedback tech, and new Go-to-Sleep programs that react to your body and mind—all of which came in handy on my recent 20-hour journey to Asia.

text: Let's talk about landscaper's insurance. Landscapers have a lot of different issues going on with regard to their insurance. Most of the time they have vehicles, they need general liability coverage, they need property coverage for their equipment, and a lot of times they need work comp insurance. By the way, you can see videos on each one of these topics on Philleo.com. But let's go over landscapers in general, and discuss some of their needs. We'll start with their general liability. That's what's going to protect them in case they damage someone's property or injure somebody in the course of their construction, or their work, or their lawn maintenance, and those types of things.

Sussanne Khan and Hrithik Roshan are unlike any couple we have seen in Bollywood in a really long time. When most Bollywood couples grow cold and distant after separation, Hrithik and Sussanne have stunned almost everyone with their friendship and strong bond.
Their every single public appearance is a proof of no bad blood between the two after the divorce. In fact, their get together(s) are a testimony to a rock solid friendship between the ex-couple. From parties to film screenings to vacations, Hrithik and Sussanne are spotted together almost everywhere. In fact, Sussanne stuck by her ex-husband during Kangana Ranaut spat.
And on Hrithik's birthday, ex-wife Sussanne had a hear felt message for her 'forever and always'. She posted a picture of the two from their recent vacation and wrote, "Forever and always you stay the sunshine in my life.. Happy happiest birthday. smile that smile brightest and u always will spread that light...limitless #sacredheart.
Speculations about their patch up has been in news for a long time. However, Sussanne earlier made it clear that "there will never be a reconciliation with Hrithik, but we will always be good parents."
I request people to stop speculating. There will never be a reconciliation with @iHrithik. But we will always be good parents. #no1priority— Sussanne Khan (@sussannekroshan) May 2, 2016
On the work front, Hrithik will soon begin shooting for Super 30.

At their Apple Watch earlier this month Apple dropped the price of their Apple TV to $69 and now it looks like we have some information on the new Apple TV.
We have been hearing rumors for a while that the new Apple TV would come with apps and games built in and now it looks like Apple is getting ready to launch the device.
According to John Paczkowski from BuzzFeed, the new Apple TV will be unveiled at Apple's World Wide Developer Conference in June, we heard last week that Apple is getting ready to launch their new TV subscription service later this year.
The new Apple TV will apparently come with a major upgrade over the current models in terms of features, which will include apps on the Apple TV and also the company's voice assistant, Siri. Apple are said to give the hardware in the device a significant bump and the updated Apple TV is said to come with the Apple A8 processor and also considerably more storage than the current model which has 8GB.
We presume that if Apple are launching apps on the Apple TV then the company will also make games available on the platform, this is something that Apple TV users have been hoping Apple would introduce for some time.

Savoury biscuits with olives and turmeric
60g Valbona Pitted Green Olives
200g Italian "00" flour
50g grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
2 tablespoons ground turmeric
1 teaspoon dried oregano
salt and pepper
80ml extra-virgin olive oil
1 large egg
1 - Roughly chop the pitted olives.
2 - Put the flour in a pile in a large bowl, make a well in the middle and add the grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, turmeric, a good pinch of salt, some freshly ground black pepper, chopped olives, egg and oil. Begin by kneading the ingredients quickly together, first with a spoon and then with your hands to obtain a soft, smooth and even dough.
3 - Let the dough stand wrapped in plastic wrap for about 30 minutes.
4 - Roll the dough out onto a floured pastry board, using a rolling pin, to make a sheet of about 1/2cm thick.
5 - Make some biscuits in the shape you prefer, place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake them in a pre-heated oven at 180°C for about 10-12 minutes. Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. They will stay fresh for about a week if kept in a stay-fresh bag.

It's been about thirty five all week. Houses are shut tight and blinds drawn. Inside the gloom people watch the Adelaide test and drink jugs of water from the fridge. Kosta and his wife sit inside their milk bar with the door closed. They watch Greek news on the old tv in the corner. There's an air conditioner mounted on the wall that drips water into a bucket on the floor.
The tracks at Burnley station glint in the sunlight, and the tall weeds between the sleepers hang their heads. Brown mynas bounce around the bins in the shade eating crumbs. Relief comes when the weary sun dips its head behind the city to the west. The tracks cool, and twilight arrives.
This day, a man hurries up to platform two and waits anxiously for the Flinders Street train. A lady beside him reads the paper and rests her feet on top of her shoes, air reaching between her toes. Two school girls sit cross legged further down, dresses hitched around the tops of their thighs. The computer lady's voice comes over the speaker, train now arriving. The man goes to the edge of the platform, and as if without hesitation, strides out onto the tracks. The shoeless lady feels a rush of air as the train pulls to a halt, and looks at the empty pavement. She drops her paper and screams.
Glen Waverley, Alamein, Belgrave, and Lilydale services are cancelled. At Richmond station, people pile onto the footpath waiting for connecting buses to the outer east. Everyone on their phones, 'I'm going to be late for dinner. Train's not running. Someone jumped in front of a train.' After the sirens, Burnley goes quiet with the absence of trains hauling commuters east.
Shadow the roaming neighbourhood dog sits on the grass behind the privet at number 66 chomping on old bones from the vacant lot. He cocks his head and stops to lick his lips, hearing wailing sirens, then nothing. His owner Greg trails down the street, on the way to the Riser for a schooner before he heads home. Shadow dashes out the hole in the fence, and clicks down the footpath after him.
With the sun now behind the city, people prise open their front doors. Twilight hangs long after dinner time. In Fraser Street men sit in plastic arm chairs in their driveways and water the silverbeet and tomato plants. Neighbours hang over fences and contemplate the front garden. Judith from next door takes Buster for a walk up towards Bridge Road. Megan on the other side of the vacant lot drags her plastic Christmas tree onto the footpath for any takers.
Thursday, it's cool again.

Great recipe! I tried it for the first time tonight, and everyone loved it! I increased the curry powder to 1 tsp, added 1/2 tsp of Garam Masala, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1 clove minced garlic, and about 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese to the chicken mixture. I also sprinkled about a third cup of slivered almonds on top before adding the bread cubes and melted butter. I served it over steamed basmati rice. Delicious and definitely a keeper!!

My family really likes this casserole. I do tweak it some based on my family's likes, but the tweaks are so easy. The basic premise of this recipe is great. I use some garlic powder instead of the curry powder, and I add cheddar cheese. Instead of the bread crumbs, I use crushed ritz crackers. So good.

This casserole was very simple and the flavors were good. I was skeptical about the mayo but it worked fine - no real tangy taste. Will make again!
Mar 29, 2016
This casserole is THE WORST in the history of cooking!! THICK, salty, and just plain BAAAAAD!
Sep 2, 2015
I baked mine a little too long (old oven), but it was still tasty! I'm not a huge fan of parmesean cheese, so I used some colby instead. Still great!
Jul 3, 2015
I think I just ate the best thing I've ever made. I boiled new potatoes with the broccoli and increased the curry to 1whole teaspoon. I made my own cream sauce with butter flour and milk to save on the saltiness of canned soup. I skipped the bread cubes entirely. Oh and I only had the dried parmesan, the kind you sprinkle on pasta and it turned out fabulous!! It's July 3 and my kitchen is a hot mess and so am I, but I will definitely make this in the winter as one of my comfort food casseroles. thank you for this recipe.

Love this dish and so does my family. I did add a pound of spaghetti noodles :D

My family loved it. I used unsalted crackers on top. Worked okay for us. Didn't want to take time to make breadcrumbs.

I want to take this to a friend. Will it work well to mix it and refrigerate it overnight without baking it?

Synopsis: A murderer institutionalized since childhood for the murder of his sister escapes and stalks a bookish teenage girl and her friends while his doctor chases him through the streets of suburbia.
Why feminists will watch: Halloween is the template for many teen horror movies that followed. The first of the famous franchise (eleven and counting) was created by John Carpenter, who treated this thin, pulpy script with an auteur's touch. As a result of his artistry it features tons of fantastic cinematography with tightly controlled shots that build tension until you're ready to crawl out of your own skin. Young, then-unknown Jamie Lee Curtis stars as the original final girl Laurie Strode, and embodies white suburban anxieties about sex and morality. Only the "good girls" like smart, chaste Laurie prevail.
This infamous scene where Laurie is stalked by the villain as she walks home from school will stay with you for a long time, both because of the suspense and because of the masterful use of the camera and music to build that suspense. What horror lurks in each car, behind every curtain, in the halls of every school, every dad, brother, boyfriend, and mean girl a villain? This fear that white, middle-class suburban bliss is a facade for something evil is explored again and again in horror movies, more recently in the work of Jordan Peele.
Note: Rob Zombie casually snuck a rape scene into his 2007 remake, so stick to the original.
Is it gory? Yes, but forty-some years later, the gore looks pretty cheesy. Don't let it deter you from this classic.
Is it problematic? Absolutely. When you're done, disassemble it like a serial killer.

To offer a drop-in solution to overcome the PA66 shortage, we developed an alternative material: The Akulon® IG series is a portfolio of material grades made by combining the strength of PA6 and PA46 – two materials that are fully independent of the Adiponitrile/hexamethyldiamine supply.
Overcoming CARB evaporative emissions regulatory challenges
For many years, regulatory agencies around the world have focused on reducing automotive and heavy-duty on-highway vehicle emissions, but more recently attention has shifted to the impact of small off-road engines for applications, such as outdoor power equipment.
In fact, recent analysis from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) estimates that common activities, such as operating a gasoline-powered push lawnmower for one hour creates as much smog-forming pollution as driving an average sedan from Los Angeles to Las Vegas (300 miles/483 km).
Fuel tank emissions
As regulators aim to reduce the overall environmental impact of small off-road engines, limiting evaporative emissions from fuel tanks has become an area of focus. As a result, CARB amended its small off-road engine rules to increase the stringency of procedures used to test evaporative emissions.
Traditionally, manufacturers have used high-density polyethylene (HDPE) for small engine applications, but this can allow increased emissions permeation and reduced durability. In the 1990s, DSM partnered with OEM customers and regulatory agencies to better understand these challenges and develop a solution.
As a result, DSM launched Akulon Fuel Lock nylon/polyamide (PA6) monolayer technology in 2011. Today, leading global manufacturers have trusted Akulon for seven years, and the third-generation technology continues to deliver superior performance versus HDPE.
Key Akulon® benefits
- Permeation rates five times below CARB and EPA standards, and over 50 times below HDPE tanks.
- Durability throughout the product life, making it resistant to failure during the molding and assembly stages and extending its expected-use life.
- Requires no masterbatch or fluorination treatment.
- Injection molding, blow molding and rotomolding grades are available and existing molding equipment can still be utilized.
With additional CARB evaporative emissions regulations expected in 2022 and the potential for regulators in other countries to follow suit, Akulon will continue to be an important solution for manufacturers seeking to ensure compliance and reduce the environmental impact of their products.

The store was inaugurated by Daiso Japan KSA's country manager Ahmed Basha along with Daiso Japan COO for the GCC Manu Mulchandani.

The International Olympic Committee has hosted the Winter Olympic Games since 1924, with the first event held in Chamonix, France. Athletes renowned for their supremacy on the snow and ice have captivated spectators, becoming heroes through their dedication and sporting excellence.
While the event might seem like an odd match for the Australian lifestyle of sun and surf, our country has sent athletes to the Winter Olympics since 1936. As part of the Australian spirit of facing new opportunities and giving everything a go, our athletes have participated with admirable spirit and determination.
After many years Australia first earned a place on the medal tally in 1994, when the men's 5000 metres short track relay speed skating team won bronze.
Two gold medals finally came Australia's way in 2002, contributing to our total of 13 Winter Olympic medals.
In 2018, PyeongChang will be hosting the XXIII Winter Olympics, with the slogan "Passion. Connected." reflecting the athletes' journey, cheered on by a proud nation.
Packaged in a presentation card featuring exciting artwork and describing Australia's commitment to the XXIII Winter Olympic Games.
The coin design features a stylised snowboarder in mid-flight accentuated with flashes of colour.

Raw Boost Mixers #ChewyInfluencer
Posted by Deziz World
Meowllo and welcome. It's time fur another Chewy review. As pawrt of da Chewy Influencer furmily we get to try out some great purroducts each month to tell you all 'bout. As most of ya' know, we're mostly raw fed kitties by way of Freeze Dried noms.
Dat's cuz some kitty isn't ready to munch down on bites and bits of tasty fresh pink meat.
Disclaimer: This is a sponsored post. We received compensation in exchange for our honest review of the Natures Variety Raw Boost Mixers. All opinions unless otherwise stated are our own and are as always, the truth as we see it. We only bring you products we use or have tried and believe would be of interest to you our readers and friends.
You're right Raena, me's just not ready. But da way you like to graze, neither are you. Hmmpht Anyways, we received a 6 oz. bag of Nature's Variety Raw Boost Mixers Chicken Cat Food Toppers. Da ingredients are purretty simple:
Chicken (Including Ground Chicken Bone), Turkey, Turkey Liver, Turkey Heart, Pumpkinseeds, Carrots, Apples, Butternut Squash, Ground Flaxseed, Montmorillonite Clay, Dried Kelp, Broccoli, Apple Cider Vinegar, Salmon Oil, Mixed Tocopherols, Rosemary Extract, Blueberries, Dried Chicory Root.
As you can see, these Mixers don't contain any of those questionable ingredients our humans like to avoid. There are lots of fruits and veggies, but hey, dat's not uncommon these days and meats are da bulk of da bites. Now some of ya' may look at dat list and say "Clay?" "Why would I feed my kitty clay?" We know this cuz once upon a time mommy did dat very same thing. Check it out. This clay is actually very good fur kitty and helps move toxins outta kitties body.
So let's see what da Chewy website has to say are da Key benefits of Nature's Variety Raw Boost Mixers.
Key Benefits
Great topper for kibble
High quality, raw nutrition in a convenient and easy-to-serve form
Pure protein for lean muscles and strong bones
Natural ingredients for optimal nutrient absorption
Nutritious oils for healthy skin and coat
Freeze dried and all-natural for an irresistible taste
Grain-free and gluten-free
No artificial colors or preservatives
Nautre's Variety Raw Boost Mixers are available in chicken and rabbit. They also have what are called Mini's and actual Food in several varieties as well as doggy furmulas. They range in purrice from $7.19 to $11.99. Da bites themselves are little cylinders and mostly uniform in size. They are a little crunchier than other freeze dried foods and would in our opinion make a good choice to aid in switching kitty from kibble to something healthier. These Mixers can be served wet or dry, as a treat or meal topper.
When they arrived we didn't have any treats, so mommy decided to give us a few fur treat time. Of course me made mommy break them in half. Me's a dainty little Southern Belle and likes really small bites. Once mommy got them broken me enjoyed da mid day snack. Me didn't eat them all, as me purrfurs a more natural 1 ingredient treat from da frontal area of da chicken, but in me's food later dat day, they went "all gone". So me must give them 4 paws up. Good natural ingredients and tasty little bites are great fur kitty. Me knows you're all wonderin' what sis Raena thought, so let's ask her?
Is it furinally mines turn sissy? I's liked 'em just fine. I sure did. And mommy didn't even have to break 'em in half fur me. Altho' I's liked 'em dat way too. I's sure do like treats. And dinner. And Brekky. I's just really like to eat. Yep, 4 paws up fur da Natures Variety Raw Boost Mixer Chicken Cat Food Toppers from me. Can we have some now sissy?
Fanks Raena, we know you like to eat. Mommy says you eat like a growin' teenage boy. As fur gettin' some now, we just had brekky. Now go take a nap and let me finish our review. Everypawdy's waitin' to find out what mommy thinks. Me asked her and she said she likes da natural good fur us ingredients, and da lack of questionable ingredients. She also likes dat we like it, and gives 'em 2 thumbs up. Now we know you all wanna get your own, so head on over and check it out. And hey, da holidays are comin' fast, so while you're there, browse around. Chewy has updated their website and added lots of new purroducts. They've got great purrices, speedy free shippin' on all orders over $49.00, pawsum customer service, and you can set up an auto ship and save even more. Don't worry, you can skip, cancel or delay dat auto ship at any time. And there's a low flat rate speedy shippin' option fur all orders less than $49.00.
Well there ya' go. We hope to go fur a stroll later today, and mommy's case manager is 'posed to be here, so we'll be by to visit as soon as we can. We did get an email askin' 'bout Shad's back story. We said her and mommy had been thru a lot together and this email wanted to know more 'bout dat. Mommys theory is dat ifin one purrson be askin', there's purrobably more wonderin' da same thing. So ifin you would like to hear Shad's backstory purrlease let us know in da comments. Otherwise mommy will just answer this in dat email. Gotta go get a quick bath.
Do you (your cat) like freeze dried food?
Do you (your cat) like raw food?
Would you like to hear Shad's backstory?
Till da next time…………………………………………Be Blest!!!

The state Board of Elections has approved an early voting plan in Dare County for this fall's election that includes allowing voters to cast ballots on the last Sunday of October.
Meeting at Wake Forest University on Sunday, the state board approved on a partisan-split vote a proposal submitted by Dare County Board of Elections vice-chair Sandy Semans Ross.
Early voting sites will be located at the Kill Devil Hills Town Hall, Fessenden Center in Buxton and the Dare Board of Elections office on Roanoke Island.
The Republican majority in the Legislature passed a law this summer that all early voting sites will have to be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays starting Oct. 17, and from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday Nov. 3. Election Day is Nov. 6.
A number of local election officials across the state have said staffing early voting sites will be difficult under the 12-hour mandate.
County election boards were given the option to add four hours to the early voting schedule on a day of their choice.
Ross' plan will have all three sites open from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 28.
Republicans Donna Elms and Carole Warnecki, and Democrats Virginia Tillett and Ross, were unable to give unanimous approval of any of the proposals they came up with last month, which led to the state board being required to decide.
Elms, Warnecki and Ross submitted proposals that would close the Pitts Center as an early voting location. Tillett proposed keeping the Pitts Center in use, while Ross was the only to suggest Sunday voting.
The state board approved the Ross plan by a 5-4 margin, with all four Democrats and the unaffiliated member voting yes, while the four Republicans voted no.

|Mary Allgeier receiving the #1 Citizen Award. Also picture: SACC President Ron Bolton
Mary was unanimously elected by a subcommittee of the Schnitzelburg Area Community Council after being nominated by two individuals.
Here is one of those nominations:
Mary Hulsman Allgeier is a Louisville native and a life-long community advocate and volunteer. She grew up with her family on Mulberry Street in Schnitzelburg and attended Saint Elizabeth. She graduated from Ursuline Academy in 1955. She married Cyril Allgeier and moved to Camp Taylor area. They raised six children. Two of them and Cyril have passed away.
She has been very active in Holy Family Parish for many years. She volunteers at their annual picnic, cleans the inside of the church, irons for the church, and is an Eucharistic Minister there. She recently helped with their Health Fair.
Mary is an active volunteer with the local Democratic party. She volunteers at the Democratic Headquarters and is President of the Democratic Women's Club that meets at the All Wool Club. Mary has served two consecutive terms as President. She also regularly attends state meetings and conventions and the annual Wendell Ford dinner. She helps low income Democrats attend these events. She organizes an annual paper shredding event to raise money for a graduating high school senior to have a small college scholarship. She organizes voter registration tables. Did you see her at the Dainty contest? She had water and soft drinks and voter registration forms!
I have heard that Mary ran the concession stand at the ball park near the Louisville Zoo. I bet she was always there and had a smile on her face in rain and hot weather.
She retired from working at Heimerdinger Cutlery in Saint Matthews. Mary was a hard worker there too. I heard she was a WLKY TV Bell Award Winner. I didn't know her yet then.
Many have told me that Mary was "the great woman behind her husband." But, I think she is a great citizen every day! Mary is a wonderful role model and mentor. She encourages young women to join the Emerge Class to learn how to run for public office. I am pleased to nominate Mary Hulsman Allgeier for this prestigious award.
Mary is also a leader in the Democratic Woman's Club of Kentucky and was honored with the DWCK Rose Award in 1999 and the Joyce Compton Award in 2017.
Being such a committed Democrat, the dignitaries attending the Dinner knew Mary well and had wonderful stories to share of her commitment and kindness.
We thank Mary for all of her contributions to Schnitzellburg and the greater Louisville community. We couldn't have found a more deserving person to receive this award.
Thank you to all who attended the dinner, to the local businesses who donated door prizes and raffle items, Eiderdown for providing such a delicious dinner, and to all the volunteers who made the dinner possible.

LAST week we moaned that there had been some ordinary games so far this year. Well rugby league thumbed its nose at us a couple of times over the weekend. The Brisbane-North Queensland epic was played at cut-throat pace, boasted some great tried and even the errors – by players and match officials – were absorbing. Canberra-Warriors was not in the same class, standard-wise, but gave us the fairytale of Campese's return and a comeback for the green machine from 12-points down despite being reduced to just two reserves. If the theory that the league is already breaking in to holds true, then there's every reason to think games between those in the bottom half will be every bit as entertaining as those at the top. It's when they play each other that things might get ugly.
JUST as it's difficult to put a finger on why the footy's improving, any theories on why we had a record attendance for the Heritage Round at the weekend are welcome. The match we expected to pack them in, Sydney Roosters-Canterbury, didn't and the South Sydney-Melbourne clash picked up the slack. Brisbane remains our sport's world capital with 42,556 on Friday for the second Queensland derby in eight days. And the Sydney Cricket Ground was nothing short of magical yesterday while Brookvale fans were in such a festive mood that they showed up more than five minutes early. OK, I'll come up with a theory – the Heritage Round attracted so many fans because it was the Heritage Round. More properly promoted events, please.
I DOUBT I will see a situation in my lifetime where Australian being beaten is not good for rugby league. An Australian defeat does not cost the game one fan, one dollar or one ounce of credibility. But a win for New Zealand or England has massive benefits for the game in those countries. Had Mal Meninga not backed up Ricky Stuart's break in the Second Test on the 1990 Kangaroo Tour, the entire course of rugby league history in England may have changed. England did not have successful teams on the world stage in other sports at the time and an Ashes win would have built on the lift in profile Ellery Hanley, Martin Offiah and Garry Schofield had given the sport. Since then, league has been swamped by other sports in the UK and is still suffering.
FOR almost as long as many Canberra players can remember, their captain Terry Campese has been unable to do what they do each day. Injuries in three consecutive seasons left the Raiders star in almost permanent rehab. But it has made him a powerful motivator upon his return, with his team-mates looking upon him with near awe. "He just brings that aura around the club," says goal-kicking centre Jarrod Croker. "Seeing him out there (against the Warriors), it was very emotional for all of us. I can imagine what it's been like for him. He's sat out and watched us train a lot. He's one of my best mates and I love to see him out there again – giving me plenty of ball, too, which is good!" The effect of Campese's return for the Raiders may be greater than the sum total of his personal contribution.
THE representative weekend is a positive development in rugby league which many people lobbied for many years. But the Tonga-Samoa game on Saturday night is the one where the potential of the break in the club programme begins to realise its potential. That a broadcaster in Fox actually asked for the fixture disproves the theory that broadcasters don't care about international football. That the NRL is underwriting and organising a match between two foreign countries is proof that this administration is doing some good, progressive things – Jizzy Ahmed-Khan notwithstanding. Go and support the match, unless you're a van Halen fan. In that case, you're excused.

Hi, I'm Christine Frith and I run Hour Hands, offering tailored support to busy people in work and at home.
Having experienced first-hand the pressures of balancing a successful career in finance marketing and a hectic home life (3 small boys and a house under renovation), I realized there was a need for services that give busy people more time. In fact, there were many times when I would have done anything for someone to just come and do jobs for me. Nothing major but things like making necessary phone calls without toddlers screaming in the background, running errands, making bookings – the day-to-day stuff that just takes decades to do with small kids in tow. So I set up Hour Hands in 2015 to offer life admin and home improvement services, as well as support services for small businesses. In Germany, where I'm from, people are very willing to outsource tasks to save them time, so I thought I could bring a bit of that to the UK.
I've now developed the business into a team of 8 women working flexibly around personal commitments. Some of us have children, from newborns up to teenagers, and others are studying, so the varied nature of the work suits us all perfectly. We all have different qualifications and areas of expertise, and everyone brings something unique to the team.
Our Business Support services are designed to be fully flexible and support clients where they need it most. From bookkeeping to PowerPoint presentations to recruitment, and all manner of tasks in between, we can lighten their to-do list and free up valuable time while also saving them money.
Clients can choose a specific service or a combination to suit their needs – whatever works best for them, even if it's just an hour a month. And because they only pay for what they need, they avoid the ongoing costs of employing staff, such as national insurance, pensions, training, and other overheads.
Our Home PA services help clients deal with all the admin tasks at home that can mount up. Whether they want to book a trip, switch energy provider, organize a party or create a photobook from their holiday snaps, we can help. People often feel that they should be able to handle all this themselves but in reality, there just isn't enough time. By taking on these tasks, we help people to find more time to do the things in life they enjoy.
Finally, our Home Improvement services take care of all those practical tasks around the home that always need doing. We can help with a full house sale and move, including decluttering, home staging, packing and unpacking. Or we can just do individual jobs such as a wardrobe detox, call an emergency plumber or sort out a manageable home filing system. We're also proud to be accredited by APDO (the Association of Professional Declutterers and Organisers).
Feedback from our clients shows that they find the service incredibly helpful, and we love being able to find solutions for people who are struggling to do it all themselves. Our practical work tends to be more local but our business and home admin clients can be all over the country or international, and we've been featured in national newspapers and radio. I feel that we can call ourselves a successful brand now, and I can't wait to see where the journey takes us!

Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (idiopathic HTAP) is a rare, fatal, which develops in a primitive way. It is identified by an increase in pulmonary blood pressure with increased proliferation of pulmonary vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC-VP) which leads to a reduction of the vessel lumen or clogging.
A breakthrough in our understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms of (HTAPi) took place thanks to the functional and genetic studies of tissues obtained from patients carrying the disease. Thus, we have shown that SMC-VP from patients wit
h HTAPi is abnormal and has some similarities to the tumor cell (ANR 2009 GENOPAT).
Figure 1 : Alteration of intrinsic pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell properties in pulmonary hypertension
This assumption is based on the following data :
(1) SMC-VP of patients with idiopathic HTAP has a great capacity for proliferation and resistance to senescence associated with telomere stability;
(2) as in tumor cells, we have demonstrated an alteration of the TGF-β pathway in SMC-VP of these patients (Dewachter et al. ERJ 2009);
(3) proteomic and functional analysis of these cells shows a breakdown of the expression of p53, p21, p16 and retinoblastoma protein in HTAPi; (4) inhibition of certain tyrosine kinases so appears to be effective and offers hope for the treatment of HTAP.

Police: Guns stolen from unlocked car near OPD
Orlando Police are investigating a theft of a loaded semi-automatic pistol from a car parked across the street from the Orlando Police Department
"It's sad we feel the necessity to arm ourselves," said the Rev. Michelle Malone.
Malone parked her car in the same lot across from OPD where over the weekend someone stole a loaded Glock handgun out of an unlocked car parked in the city lot underneath Interstate 4.
Police said the owner parked his car in lot around 9 p.m. Saturday and left the door unlocked. When he came back two hours later someone had stolen the Glock loaded with 15 hollow point bullets, according to officials.
On Tuesday, Malone went to OPD headquarters to make a police report about someone firing a random shot in to her car. She said she is considering ways to defend herself.
"I'm a preacher, for goodness' sake, and I'm saying, 'Well, I guess I am going to have to take the class so I can carry,'" said Malone.
Police said another gun on the streets is of great concern to them.
"People are going to come downtown and you normally have a weapon in your car, leave your weapon at home or lock it in your glove box," said Orlando Police Sgt. Vince Ogburn.
Police said the city does not have a policy of having a concealed weapon in city parking lots.
"No, you're in a city lot. It's your vehicle. It can be inside your vehicle," said Ogburn.
According to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, $10.8 million worth of guns were stolen in 2011. The department said they recovered $1.2 million firearms in the same year.
There are many security cameras pointed at the lot, but it's unclear if the cameras caught the theft on video.

John C. Roberts (C61)
John C. Roberts of Kearney, Neb., joined the NU debate team as a freshman in the 1957-58 school year. He was a member of the top two-person team as a junior and senior partnering with Dennis Hunt. He reached the semi-finals of the National Debate Tournament in 1960 and won numerous tournaments and speaker awards over his career
During his first two years, John had a 32-13 win-loss record and won two tournaments (Bradley and Wisconsin State, Eau Claire) and placed third in another.
In their junior year, John and Dennis Hunt were semi-finalists at the 1960 National Debate Tournament at West Point. In the l959-60 school year, they also reached the semi-finals of the 1960 Harvard Invitational Tournament with John being named fourth speaker. They also placed first in the four-person and second in the two-person team competition at Dartmouth, with John winning second speaker. In 1959, John and Dennis won the top negative team award and the four-person team award at Wayne State. That school year, Roberts also teamed with David Copus to place second in the 1959 Wichita State Tournament (John was named third speaker) and with Eldon Lanning to reach the semis in the 1959 Kansas State Emporia Tournament.
In the 1960-61 school year, Roberts and Hunt won seven tournaments and were undefeated in the elimination rounds of all tournaments they entered that year. They also did not lose a debate before an audience their senior year. John and Dennis were members of the winning four-person team at the 1960 University of Kentucky tournament, with John being named top speaker. In March 1961, Roberts and Hunt were members of the winning four-person team at the University of Maryland Capitol Hill Tournament, where they tied for top speaker. In November 1960, Roberts and Hunt were the top two-person negative team and were part of NU's winning four-person team at the Wayne State University Tournament. They also won both the 1961 Kansas State Pittsburgh and the Kansas State Emporia tournaments. Roberts and Hunt also went 12-0 to win the 1961 Harvard Invitational Tournament (the country's largest and most prestigious regular season tournament at the time) defeating eventual 1961 NDT winners Larry Tribe and Gene Clements of Harvard in the semis. They also won the country's second most prestigious regular season tournament — the University of Kansas Heart of America tourney — again defeating Tribe and Clements of Harvard in the semis. Unfortunately, John and Dennis did not qualify out of the District V tournament and did not participate in the NDT despite having the best regular season record in the country and having reached the semis of the NDT in 1960.
John was a member of the steering committee for the early debate reunions and has been a regular contributor to the Debate Endowment.
