Suspected mustard gas victim (Image via Yasser Alhaji, Aleppo)
Yesterday I received an image via Twitter from a local journalist which sent a chill down my spine. It showed a long canister spilling a dark liquid that had allegedly been fired on Marea close to Aleppo, northern Syria. The question was… was the image authentic, when was it taken and if so what weapon was being fired in the area? I had already heard rumblings that Islamic State had access to chemical weapons. The fear was that this was the deadly sulfar mustard gas a cytotoxic and vesicant agent meaning that it can seriously affect body cells and causes large skin blisters and due to its properties is now banned from use.
I first heard of mustard gas as a child in relation to my late grandfather who had fought in the trenches of the First World War (1914-18). He was barely more than a boy, a naive youth from a poor family with many children, sucked in on tales of better food, travel and adventure similar to today just now there are more sophisticated recruitment techniques. I was shown his "gas card". He had been caught up in a mustard gas attack, also known as Hot Stuff, H.S. or H. Fortunately he was not too close to site of impact and was taken to a field hospital then on to a health facility on the coast of France and later back to England to recuperate. As soon as he recovered sufficiently it was back to the trenches, this time with great reluctance.
Soldier with moderate mustard gas burns sustained during First World War showing characteristic bullae on neck, armpit and hands (Wikipedia)
Vera Brittain wrote in her book, Testament of Youth about the "Great War",
"I wish those people who talk about going on with this war whatever it costs could see the soldiers suffering from mustard gas poisoning. Great mustard-coloured blisters, blind eyes, all sticky and stuck together, always fighting for breath, with voices a mere whisper, saying that their throats are closing and they know they will choke."
Gas attacks were one of the biggest fears for young soldiers during the First World War, it was an unseen enemy, causing major panic when an alert was raised and a scrabble for face masks. The men would notice an unusual smell but the odour dissipated quickly and was difficult to detect with symptoms taking hours to develop unlike other gases. As Josh Briggs wrote, "the chemical agent would stay in the ground for weeks, depending on the temperature. The colder the ground, the longer the mustard gas would linger…. One drop of the chemical weapon could cause skin burns on people within 10 cubic meters."
See following link,
"How mustard gas works"
At the end of the war there were an estimated 1.3 million casualties as a result of chemical weapon agents.
Today the Guardian has reported that mustard gas was likely used by Islamic State on Marea on 21st August 2015 possibly from stockpiles taken from Syrian president Bashar al-Assad's regime which were thought to have been destroyed or degraded. The paper noted, "other possibilities, according to former chemical weapons inspectors, include Isis affiliates in Libya smuggling Muammar Gaddafi's mustard-filled shells or precursor chemicals or Isis compelling scientists in its Iraqi or Syrian territorial holdings to manufacture the toxic chemicals."
The Guardian stated,
"the Syrian-American Medical Association, which has set up a field hospital in Marea, said 50 civilians showing symptoms of chemical exposure arrived in the facility on Friday following the artillery barrage. They showed initial symptoms that included respiratory problems, redness in the eyes and skin irritations. About 30 of the people developed skin blisters and samples from their blood and clothing as well as the shelling site were taken for further analysis."
The paper also reported on Ahmed Latouf and his family who displayed the kind of symptoms seen in First World War Soldiers appearing several hours after exposure,
"twelve hours later, however, his skin started to bubble and weep. His wife was soon in worse shape, with giant blisters spreading across her shoulders and most of her body gripped by a burning rash. His four-day-old daughter was in an even worse condition, and is not expected to live."
The following is information was tweeted by Yasser Alhaji whose Twitter accounts states he is a journalist in Aleppo, who alerted me to an attack though PLEASE NOTE… this could not be independently confirmed so the following are all ALLEGED…
"The shells used by isis targeting marea .." tweeted on August 23rd
The following photos were alleged to be first 2 victims of gas attacks though again could not be independently confirmed
"The first casualty of isis chemical attack on marea. .died today .."
"Second casualty of isis chemical attack on marea died today 22 years old Ayman Hafez. .."
August 31st
"To all NGO and the United Nations the people of North Aleppo they are in need sleeping under the trees …"
Another alleged attack 1st Sept?
"New chemical attack on marea by isis two hours ago …"
"This what isis shelled marea today with .."
"Marea today 1st Sept"
One tweet today, Sept 2nd from the Local Coordination Committees of Syria (LCCS) referring to a Facebook page alleged,
"yesterday morning, ISIS targeted #Marea city in the northern suburbs of Aleppo with more than 20 Gvozdika shells loaded with chemical agents and others loaded with toxic gases. The shells were launched from ISIS-controlled areas in #Tel_Malid village, about 3 km from the city, which led to dozens of casualties. The medical units in the region received many of them."
Yasser Alhaji also tweeted today Sept 2nd,
"New chemical attack on marea by isis two hours ago …"
The Center for Disease Control US has published the following detailed link on identifying and treating those who have been exposed to Sulfur mustard,
SITE Intel Group, provider of Jihadist/Far Right & Far Left/Cyber Security News appears to back-up claims that IS are in possession of chemical weapons, a tweet yesterday read,
IS Fighter Affirms Group's Reported Use of Chemical Weapons http://tinyurl.com/pxb44do
The Daily Beast also reported the likelihood of IS having chemical weapons in its arsenal quoting one of their fighters Omar Yilmaz,
"the regime uses chemical warfare on a regular basis these days, and nobody bats an eye—yet when [ISIS] captures it from them and uses it against them it's all of a sudden a huge problem?" ISIS fighter Omar Yilmaz, 27, said in a Tumblr post. "Fight them the way they fight you."
Is Europe at risk?
There are also fears (whether likely or far- fetched) that IS could target Europe with chemical weapons. Retired Army Colonel Hamish de Bretton-Gordon told The Daily Mirror,
"It is not easy to make Mustard Gas but it is possible and a lone wolf could get the information off the internet and dark web.
"If you tried to buy the precursors in the UK or US you would most likely be picked up."
"Could IS move Mustard Gas out of the Syria/Iraq theatre of war? That is the real issue I expect."
See following link,
"ISIS set to target Europe with Mustard Gas smuggled from Syria"
"Molecule of the Month: Mustard Gas"
All possible attacks with chemical weapons should be taken very seriously and every effort made to ascertain if this is the case and determine what agents are used as a matter of urgency. I take such incidents seriously as I was one of the first independent writers to be alerted to the gas attack on East Ghouta in 2013 which turned out to be true… see following,
"East Ghouta, Damascus: Syrian opposition claiming chemical attacks with hundreds killed, urgent investigation required"
As I was writing this, someone tweeted me saying an account linked to Syrian opposition alleged that there were no gas attacks and it was a ploy to attract more support from US however account was then suspended so it was not possible to question further.
I pray that the recent reports are incorrect, better that than the terrible injuries that can result from sulfur gas or other chemical agents. I remember when my grandfather was dying, I was taken in to see him. He had a history of breathing difficulties and was writhing around in his bed and shouting out names. Years later as an adult my mother told me he was reliving the war in his final hours of life. Although he rarely talked about his experience, whatever he witnessed (perhaps he was back again in the trenches during a gas attack) it disturbed him to the end of his days.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) promised that Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2018 finals will be played in Pakistan and it has delivered on its promise.
This year's playoffs will be played in Lahore on 20th and 21st whereas the final will be organized in Karachi on the 25th of March.
Although this decision has brought smiles to the face of every Pakistani, it does come with strings attached – high ticket pricing.
Change In Ticket Pricing
PSL finals ticket pricing was announced one week ago. The ticket prices were already slightly higher than anticipated, however, now the prices of National Stadium's two enclosures have seen an outrageous increase.
Previously, the official partners of PCB announced the ticket pricing which are as follows:
Initially, there were 5 enclosures dedicated for Rs. 1,000 tickets and 3 to VIPs, which cost Rs. 12,000.
However, prices of two enclosures — Iqbal Qasim and Nasimul Ghani — have been increased from Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 12,000.
In other words, two enclosures for the general spectators have been shifted to facilitate the VIPs or increase profits.
Here is the latest price listing on PCB's official website:
Although this change has gone under the radar, some people are speculating the reasons behind PCB's decision.
- Total capacity of both enclosures
- 6,701 seats
- If enclosure was allocated to general population, PCB would have made
- 6,701 seats x Rs. 1,000 — Rs. 6.1 million
- However, enclosures are now allocated to facilitate VIPs
- 6,701 seats x Rs. 12,000 — Rs. 73.4 million
Thanks to this decision, PCB will be making a profit of Rs. 67.3 million as compared to before.
From a neutral's perspective, Pakistani population has financial reservations and for PCB to allocate just 3 enclosures for the cheapest tickets is unfair especially considering VIPs will have 5 enclosures.
Furthermore, there will be 4 enclosures for Rs. 8,000 and 3 for Rs. 4,000.
Thanks sir can you please send me the link to watch live?
Hello Asim, kindly go to our PSL page. You can find all the information related to PSL there.

Ways to Foster Tolerance and Reconciliation
The ability to live, let's live and appreciate diversity in the human race is known as tolerance. It does not only imply that we agree with one another and remain indifferent in the face of injustice but instead respect other people.
We become intolerant when we fail to respect or appreciate the beliefs, customs, or opinions of people who are different from us. For example, there is a high level of intolerance between Palestinians and Israeli Jews who do not see eye to eye on matters of self-determination, identity, and security.
Even though tolerance might seem like an impossible fete in some situations, it can help in assisting communities to move past intractable conflicts and eliminate tensions between groups of people. In areas with political tensions or economic depression, individuals and groups may find it challenging to tolerate people who are not like them or have wronged them. In these cases, violence, repression, dehumanization, and discrimination could happen. Intolerance causes rifts between people, creating permanent separations between groups that do not agree.
To encourage tolerance, third parties must remind those involved in a conflict that tolerance is always better in the long run. There have been organizations formed to foster tolerance between conflicting parties. One such organization is the European Council on Tolerance and Reconciliation whose chairperson is Viatcheslav Kantor. He is an international businessman and public figure who participates actively in promoting tolerance and reconciliation.
Below are a number of the practical strategies which may be employed to promote tolerance.
Some studies have shown that casual inter-group contact might increase the current animosities instead of lowering the tensions between inter groups. However, groups will use personal experiences through interactions in these inter groups to inform their views of one another. This may lower the prejudices they have against one another. nter-group contact has to continue for one week or so for it to work.
To improve the communication between sides which are, dialogue mechanisms like problem-solving workshops or dialogue groups give opportunities for the parties to a conflict to express their needs and interests. In these circumstances, those participating in the workshops believe that their concerns are heard and recognized.
Folks should consistently focus on tolerating individuals with different views from them in their daily lives. This involves challenging the stereotypes and assumptions which they come up in making decisions about others or working with other people.
Organizations involved in conflict transformation and other actors in this industry can use other approaches such as training to assist individuals involved in a conflict to speak to one another.
International organizations have to discover ways of Inculcating the principles of tolerance within their policies. Governments should also aim to institute policies involving tolerance.

We really wanted to take the kids to a park, so why not Hyde Park? We consulted Yelp for a lunch suggestion- which was The Laughing Halibut, a tasty fish and chips joint. Then we made our way to Hyde Park via Westminster and Buckingham Palace.

We'd like to share with you, a new school-wide initiative started by first-grader, Theo Williams and his mother, Jamie. We hope that after you've read through her plans for getting this off the ground, that you'll want to step in and "keep the ball rolling"!
After visiting with new and returning families over a delicious potluck meal at the end of the summer, the families worked quickly to cleanup the playground and other areas of the school grounds. Jamie's vision for the #FundraiseItForward initiative began that day. Here's how it came about…
It was cool to see the area where my kids play everyday at recess and to help make it nice for them. I noticed right away, though, that there was a picnic table that had seen better days. In fact, I wasn't sure it would actually be safe to keep it on the playground any longer. I had just joined the RMS Board of Directors and was beginning to see first-hand just how much our teachers and staff already take charge of in the school. I saw that picnic table and thought, "I can find a way to take care of this." Theo and I sat down a couple weeks before his birthday and I asked if he would be willing to forego toys & gifts this year from his friends and instead we would ask them to donate to a picnic table fundraiser to replace the old table on the playground. We talked about being willing to to step up to the plate rather than asking someone else to fix a problem that we have the resources to correct. He quickly agreed! (And I was secretly thrilled to know that we would be able to give people an alternative to the cheap plastic toys that make up so many presents.)
They put out the word and raised the $250 needed for the table in no time! They received donations as small as $5 and as great as $50, but most were in the $10-15 range. Then, they hired a young entrepreneur and the table was made and delivered within a week. But their work wasn't yet done.
When we recounted all the donations we realized that we had $27 more than we needed. Knowing that everyone gave for a purpose and not wanting the money to be returned, I thought, "I wish I could give this $27 as seed money for someone else to tackle a small project at RMS…perhaps something they've seen that needs updating. Or something that would be useful for their classroom. And what if it kept going?! What if every fundraiser kept going until they had a small amount to seed the next person's project? How far could it go? How long could we keep the campaign alive? A year? Ten years? The idea seemed too inspiring to pass up!
Jamie is currently holding on to that $27, just waiting for someone's approved project! How this will work:
– You should already have a specific monetary goal and a tangible project in mind.
– All projects should aim to raise between $100 – $500 and must be approved by Lisa Torano.
– All funds raised in excess of your goal should be returned to Jamie for distribution to the next fundraiser. (Jamie is acting as a temporary "gate keeper" until we have our PTO fully formed. The funds will kept by and handled through them when that happens.)
– We encourage this to be a project accomplished by students with the support of their families; teaching ownership, responsibility and giving….and have fun!
– The results of the fundraiser will be tracked with a visual representation in the school.
So what do you say?!? Can YOU, #FundraiseItForward ?

There are a lot of myths when it comes to the history of Salsa. Where it really originates from? If its from Cuba, Colombia or Puerto Rico, we all know that all of them are important on its development as a genre. Since we celebrated National Salsa Day during the month of March, we wanted to discuss a bit of the history of Salsa in Puerto Rico. Find out a bit of how it was developed and it's top performers.
Salsa in Puerto Rico
Salsa in Puerto Rico took over by the decade of the 60's. Ironically, it started in New York with Puerto Rican performers who started to emerge in the scene. A bridge between performers in the island and New York was starting to make the genre something commercial and that became popular among the people. Performers like Cortijo y Su Combo, Richie Ray & Bobby Cruz, el Gran Combo de Puerto Rico among others started to hit the stages in the island and in New York City along with performers from other places such as Celia Cruz from Cuba.
Fania All Stars
Fania All Stars was a group created in New York City to showcase the musicians who had signed with Fania Records. Among these performers, there were people from all over the Caribbean such as Willie Colón, Hector Lavoe, Cheo Feliciano, Tito Puente among many other Latin Stars.
In 1974, this group performed in Zaire, Africa, at the 80,000-seat Stade du 20 mai in Kinshasa. This was captured on film and released as Live in Africa. This concert is still recalled by many as one of the biggest moments in Salsa history.
Héctor Lavoe
Héctor Lavoe is considered one of the biggest names in Salsa in Puerto Rico and also in New York. Born in Ponce, Puerto Rico, his career began the moment he became the vocalist of Willie Colon's band. Previously, he collaborated with other performers in New York. His biggest hits were songs like "Periódico de Ayer", written by Tite Curet Alonso and "El Cantante".
His legacy in Salsa music has been immortalized in the movie "El Cantante" starring artists Marc Anthony and Jennifer López.
Ismael Rivera
Ismael Rivera, who was nicknamed "Maelo", is still considered the biggest "Sonero" of all times. His name is synonym of Salsa in Puerto Rico.
In 1954, Ismael joined Rafael Cortijo's band. His relationship with the group was so successful that it yielded 17 albums and countless hits that he had a lot to do with as a consecrated composer.
The combined talents of Ismael Rivera and Rafael Cortijo unleashed a phenomenon that revolutionized the music world. Their contagious sound traveled from Puerto Rico to New York, where their boricua compatriots and Latinos living in the city caught the fever from the duo's numerous recordings and concerts.
Rivera died on 1987 but his success is still recalled by many Salsa Music lovers. Many salsa lovers still remember his catch word "Ecuajey".
El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico
El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico is one of the most important orchestras in the scene of salsa in Puerto Rico. They have been around for more than 50 years. This orchestra is also known as "La Universidad de la Salsa".
El Gran Combo was founded in May 1962 by Rafael Ithier. Ithier is the only original member of the band who's still in the lineup. Some other famous Salsa artists that have been part of El Gran Combo are Roberto Roena, Andy Montañez and Gilberto Santa Rosa.
They have been active and recognized all around the world. Some of the biggest hits include songs like "El Menú", "Brujería" and "Timbalero". El Gran Combo is still active and touring all around Latin America and other parts of the world.
Richie Ray y Bobby Cruz
This duo started their career in 1963 and were part of the movement that helped Salsa reach a worldwide popularity. Some of their major hits include "Jala Jala", "Agúzate", "El Sonido Bestial", and "Bomba Camará". What made this duo stand from other performers of their generation was the fact that they fusioned elements of other genres.
In 1974, the duo converted to Evangelicalism and started to add religious-themed songs to their repertoire.

Prehistoric Explosions Wiped Out Ocean Life— And Created Petroleum

This makes me wonder what creatures didn't crawl out of the sea thanks to this. It also makes me think of Italo Calvino short stories.
If this is true, can you imagine what kind of world we'd be living in if the eruption had never happened and petroleum had never been created?

Apologies to anyone who visited recently and thought I was a lazy bum…
Actually, I've been a very busy, lazy bum. I've also returned with a slew of great excuses for my apparent abandonment of this young blog:
1. I teach grades 7 – 12 (English Conversation and/or a Writing Course) in a girls' high school in Osaka, Japan. This year I threw out all textbooks and have been swamped mentally and physically both deciding what to teach and getting ready to teach it.
2. I had laser eye surgery done in May (Kobe Clinic) and using the computer has been the only adjustment that is taking some time, so at night I've been avoiding the computer.
3. My good buddies (Kirsten and Mark) and I have been diligently researching the use of DICTOGLOSS in the Junior high school context for a chapter we've accepted to write in an upcoming teaching book.
4. Oh yeah… and that pesky little MA course that keeps asking me if I've forgotten about her and her 3 essays and a dissertation still to be written.
5. Finally, I'm not quite sure how to do anything on this blog and feel a little frustrated that I chose to move from blogger.
Next post will be on the Extensive Reading library that I've started this year and the Open School lesson I taught last week. Just a quick pic to show you one of the results from the lesson.

KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) - Feng Shanshan opened her Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia title defence in solid fashion with a five-under 66 to sit one stroke off the lead after the first round on Thursday.
Alison Lee of the United States and Lin Xiyu of China shared the lead at 65 after starting with a slew of birdies and hanging on after a three-hour rain delay disrupted play.
Feng, the Chinese world No. 7, kept the pace with six birdies of her own at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club.
"Overall I think I did well to score five under. I'm happy I did not have too much pressure during the round and still brought out my A-Game," said Feng.
Michelle Wie, who like Lee played a role in the United States' emotional Solheim Cup victory over Europe last month, was among three players also at 66.
World No. 1 Inbee Park carded a 71 with three birdies on an otherwise clean card.
Second-ranked Lydia Ko, who at age 18 became the youngest women's Major winner at the Evian Championship last month, double-bogeyed the 11th hole and followed with a bogey on the next.
She ended the day on even par along with a pack of golfers including 2013 winner Lexi Thompson.

Conversion of SPB to DOC. SPB to DOC converters.
Speaking about Samsung contact backups, there is no direct way how you could directly convert .spb files to .doc (Word documents).
The only way would be to other manually write down the contacts from a .spb file when you open them in Kies and type it to a Word document, or export the .spb to something text based like CSV and import that to Microsoft Word. Still would require a lot of manual editing.
Unfortunately, there is no detailed software record in the database for this conversion.
Additional links: Open spb file, Open doc file
Files with spb file extension is mainly known to be used for a contact backup exported by Samsung Kies management software for various Samsung smart phones.
Files with spb file extension can also be found as some sort of old data files from SpareBrains program developed by Lloyd Shelby.
Files with spb file extension can also be found as special instructor assistant books from ToolBook e-learning software.
Files with spb file extension are associated with the Flight Simulator X mission data.
doc file extension is commonly used for text documents created in Microsoft Word word processor prior version 2003. Word's DOC documents can be opened in almost every (if not every) other word processor, such as OpenOffice.org Writer or iWork Pages.
A doc file extension is used throughout the time by many various applications for their document files.

Waterloo Region Record
By Brent Davis
WATERLOO — With a strike or lockout deadline looming next week, Wilfrid Laurier University officials and the union representing the school's custodial, trades and groundskeeping workers were in mediated talks Monday.
Members of Local 926 of the Canadian Union of Public Employees have been without a contract for more than a year. There are approximately 100 employees represented, with about two-thirds of them custodial staff.
The key sticking point remains the proposed contracting out of work to third-party, non-union custodial workers.
Union officials see this as a direct threat to job security, setting the stage for the loss of loyal, dedicated university employees.
"It's one of the most drastic, draconian tactics an employer could ever use," said CUPE Ontario president Fred Hahn, who was in Waterloo Monday lending his support to members.
University administrators say no current unionized staff would be laid off as a result of contracting out, a move they say is necessary in an effort to offset "unsustainable" costs.
"The universities are not flush with cash," said Laurier's vice-president of finance and administration, Jim Butler. "We're struggling trying to keep our costs down."
Butler said the university stands to save about $300,000 a year if its proposal is adopted. The move would allow the university to contract out work to replace unionized employees who retire or leave voluntarily or if new positions open up, Butler said.
Hahn said the move would introduce lower-paid, low-security jobs into the community.
"This is something that actually makes no sense," he said. "(The university is) trying to destabilize a core group of its employees."
Last week, the university requested what's known as a no board report, which would legally allow for a strike or lockout as of next Sunday. Butler said the university does not intend to lock out the workers.
Another day of mediated talks is scheduled for Friday.
"I'm hopeful that a resolution is reached at the bargaining table," said Kitchener-Waterloo MPP Catherine Fife.
Fife called a trend of publicly-funded post-secondary institutions looking to contract out jobs "worrisome" and "disturbing.
"It would be very unfortunate for our community to lose those good jobs," she said. Contracted jobs "do not pay as much, they do not have job security, and they are more precarious in nature."
Another proposed contract change would see union retirees being required to pay 15 per cent of their benefit costs each month.
Butler said that's a move that's been agreed to by the other unions at the university.
"Postretirement benefits, first of all, are not common and they are expensive," he said. "CUPE's just catching up to what the other unions have agreed to."
Hahn said he wants to ensure employees "retire in dignity and not retire into poverty."

Young people across Sandwell are invited to a careers fair to find out about opportunities open to them this new year.
Connexions Sandwell is encouraging 15 to 19-year-olds and their parents to come to the 'New Year, New Start' event, now in its fourth year. Over 500 people attended last year's fair.
More than 30 organisations offering advice about college courses, jobs, apprenticeships, training and higher education will be at The Public, West Bromwich, on Saturday 19 January 2013, from 10am to 2pm.
Careers advisers will be on hand to give impartial information and advice so young people can sit down and discuss their options in detail.
'New Year, New Start' is aimed at 15 to 19-year-olds or up to 25 years old if they have a learning difficulty or disability.
It will also encourage those leaving school, sixth form or college in summer to identify areas of interest and start thinking about their choices.
Peter Holtham, Connexions Sandwell manager, said: "This is an essential event for any young person in Sandwell. There will be a wealth of information all under one amazing building - The Public.
"The informal drop-in event has been organised to enable young people to make an informed decision about what career or vocation path they would like to choose."
Councillor Bob Badham, Sandwell Council's cabinet member for children and families, said: "The right training, college course or apprenticeship can help young people get their ideal job.
"Connexions can give young people impartial advice and guidance to help them reach that goal.
"The 'New Year, New Start' event is a really good opportunity for young people and their parents to equip themselves with the information they need to make decisions for the future.
"Our figure in Sandwell for young people aged 16 to 18 in education, employment or training is extremely good at 84.6 per cent, which is one of the best in the West Midlands. This event will help us towards maintaining and improving this high percentage, making sure young people are being guided in the right direction."
Various organisations will also be there to give advice on a wide range of issues affecting young people.
Three lucky attendees will also walk away with one of three Apple iPads, sponsored by Sandwell College, so people are urged to head down early for their chance to win.
For more information, please contact Connexions Sandwell on 0800 352 0055 or follow them on Facebook.

Pub: Toplitz Productions
Released: 29/10/19
Size: 2.51 GB
Price: £24.99/$29.99/€29.99
Xbox One X Enhanced: Yes
When it comes to a game title such as Police Chase, there's an image of what kind of experience you can expect conjured up just from the title alone. If you've got illusions of flying down the highway in a police cruiser, chasing after hardened criminals in high end stolen vehicles then this is the point in the review where we warn you that this game is not for you. "Okay," you might say, "what about arresting people? Surely we're going to capture some big bads and haul them away to the slammer, right?" No, no. Sorry. Still not the game you're looking for.
Police Chase actually breaks down into three available play modes: Campaign, Races, and Freeplay. In the campaign, players take on the role of Tom. Tom is fresh out of the police academy, and he fancies himself as a part time race car driver. He's unjustifiably cocky, extraordinarily cringe inducing, and he's essentially a breathing HR violation toward every woman he encounters. It's his first day on the job with new partner, Patrick, and our entire introduction to him consists of his insulting the police cruiser as a 'rust bucket', and referring to Claudia as "Miss Hotness from Reception".
The campaign's story is told throughout these digitally illustrated stills with cringey, poorly acted voice work. However, the game play for Police Chase takes place on a 3D high way in a somewhat fleshed out city that would've been impressive if this game was on the 360. Unfortunately, it looks dated on the Xbox One, and even suffers from occasional screen tearing and frame rate jankiness.
There's plenty of traffic to navigate around, but despite playing as a team of policemen there's penalties or dangers to committing traffic violations. Driving on the wrong side of the road, into oncoming traffic, or smashing up pedestrian vehicles are all par the course, especially because of the stiff and unresponsive vehicle controls. Missions typically consist of mundane delivery tasks, such as saving a blubbering fool from the side of the road after he calls police for assistance when his car runs low on gas, to taking your boss's car to a repair shop after it gets hit in a parking lot, to literally helping the postman deliver a package.
The direction to your objective is displayed by a green arrow rotating around at the top of the screen which will often leave you going in circles as it provides no real assistance. This is an unusual design decision in an era when most driving games make use of a GPS line on the actual road to help you reach your destination. The GPS line is present in Police Chase's 'race' modes, so there doesn't seem to me any good reasoning behind leaving it out of the campaign mode.
Likewise, in Freeplay mode there is no way to set a way point on the map, nor is there any way to navigate to the potential interactive events that occur around the city. These events could have had the potential to add more to the 'police' side of Police Chase, but they, too, fall horribly flat. Once you reach an event area, marked by a red ring on the map and in the world, you'll be given a task such as 'track down the stolen vehicle' or 'report the traffic accident'. These events have you drive to a specific destination, then once you've found the cars relating to the event then you can leave your police vehicle to walk over to yellow circle. Standing in the yellow circle completes the event, and you're back to your vehicle to mindlessly continue the cycle until you just can't anymore. Which, sadly, won't take long.

The OK Red conference season is in full swing now as the teams are nearly wrapping up the first half of the conference season. Caledonia, led by head coach Phil Visser, faced two tough league opponents this week. Hudsonville is a team that is still somewhat figuring out where they stack up this season, as they entered Tuesday's game at 5-4 with five wins against inferior opponents and four losses against tough teams. Although Rockford was 2-7 entering play Friday, they have played a daunting schedule so far, and their talent is far superior of a team five games below five hundred. Both of these teams earned big bounce back wins over Caledonia this week as detailed below.
On Tuesday in Caledonia, the Eagles put up their highest offensive numbers of the season as they snapped a two-game losing streak in OK Red play. Thanks to stingy defensive rebounding and unselfishness on the offensive end, Coach Eric Elliott's team had this game in control from the start as they led 15-0 early. The Scots finally got on the board with two minutes left in the first quarter, but it wasn't nearly fast enough as they trailed 25-8 after the first quarter. Brady Boothe paced the Eagles with fifteen first half points as eight different Eagles contributed to the scoring column in the first sixteen minutes.
In the second half, it was much of the same as Hudsonville outscored Caledonia by eleven more points. The Eagles really limited their turnovers in this contest, while forcing the Scots into many tough offensive possessions. Despite only scoring one point in the second half, Boothe led all scorers with sixteen points.
The Rams set off to Caledonia on Friday in another tough league battle, and in a back and first opening half, they had some key help from senior Nate Anderson. He served as a do-it-all player in the first half as he scored thirteen points to go along with four rebounds, four assists and two steals. This was a huge contribution for Rockford, as they were looking to fill the void of two missing starters to their lineup (Teague Farley and Ryan Gamm). Despite this huge performance for Anderson, the Scots actually held a 33-32 halftime lead.
In the second half, senior Jason Majerle got hot at the right time as he hit three huge three pointers to spark the Rockford offense. This created a deficit that the Scots simply did not have enough time to overcome. Majerle finished with 28 points to lead all scorers, while Anderson contributed 18. For Caledonia, cousins Jesse and Truman Hillis played strong on the offense end as Jesse chipped in 16 and Truman chipped in eleven.
At the end of the week, the OK Red Conference Standings read as follows:
1-Holland West Ottawa 8-1 (4-0 OK Red)
2-Grand Haven 8-3 (2-2 OK Red)
2-East Kentwood 5-5 (2-2 OK Red)
2-Grandville 4-4 (2-2 OK Red)
2-Rockford 3-7 (2-2 OK Red)
6-Hudsonville 6-5 (2-3 OK Red)
7-Caledonia 5-5 (1-4 OK Red)

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — It's a nursery new parents could only imagine with stuffed animals and a family photo. But now that room is a memorial for Corinne Shields.
"It's not something we ever anticipated," said Alysen Shields, Corinne's mother. "It doesn't make sense when it's a baby, but it's reality."
Corinne was born in October 2017. Her parents say it was a normal birth, but they started to have questions shortly afterwards.
"We started to notice her wrists were kinda floppy, almost as if she didn't have control of them," Alysen said.
During her first few months, Corinne didn't have much of an appetite and wasn't gaining weight.
"There's the concern and heartbreak of what does she have, and how are going to get this figured out?" said her dad Gareth.
At Riley Hospital for Children, they finally got some answers. Corinne was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy or SMA. It's a rare genetic disease, that often can be deadly.
For nearly 3 months they moved to Chicago for a $500,000 treatment, but the problems didn't end. Doctors told the family to prepare for the worst.
"We brought her home May 18th, and we just decided to make it the best summer ever for her."
From zoo visits, to picnics at the park, the family soaked up as much time together as they could.
10-month-old Corinne passed away on August 10.
"We love stories about kids that beat the odds and they're miracles, but that's not the reality of the world," Alysen added.
Corinne's story doesn't end there. Her family is determined to keep her light alive and teach others about the dangers of SMA.
A few months before Corrine passed, Indiana became the fourth state in the country to add SMA to their newborn screenings.
The Shields' nursery won't be empty for long. They're expecting their second child this summer.

Bread muffins, not cake muffins. The tuna mixed with fried spring onions and mayonnaise (out of a squeezy bottle) and topped with Edam before going in the oven. I decided not to put in the sunflower seeds; I should have used more Edam.
I've generally thought of putting things like this in the oven as too much faff, but the microwave combination oven preheats very quickly, and the whole thing is much nicer than if it had been stuck under the grill.
Also, we don't normally buy Edam, but the flavours work really well.

Wow 3 weddings in a week? This feels like it was about 2 months ago, but apparently it was just 6 days ago. Everyone loves a Tuesday wedding (good excuse for a day off work) and what can be more relaxed than getting all your friends and family to a holiday cottage and cooking up a barbecue?
The bride for this wedding happened to work at M&S so provided all the food as well as organising the whole event herself - with help on the day before and on the day from an army of friends & family volunteers. So all that was left for us to do was turn up with the barbecue and get cooking!

It is the dream of every little girl who is found of dancing to exhibit her skill as a performer in dance recitals where all eyes will be on the dancing girls. If you are fond of dancing then dream of performing the most charming dances in front of audience will also be present in your eyes. However, becoming a good performer is not that easy you need to built in a lot of stamina, strength, confidence and coordination so that proper expression can be carried out by your dancing to others. You need to be properly dressed along with it is important to build spirit of team work for showing a great performance.
Keep in mind that not everyone is born a dancer you need to grow up and evolve to become a great performer. For this dedication and commitment should be by your side always. In case you are having troubles with moves and want to adopt different dancing styles then it is best to get assistance from a teacher who can work on your weak points so that you can cover the flaws. In addition to all this, your performance should be arranged by professionals because they pay importance to each and every point from outfits to the theme of performance.
It is best to recognize the real dancing talent present inside you and after this energy should be directed in the right locations. You can't do it alone, it is a team work so stay prepared for it.

From Albert Einstein to Rabbenu
Continuing our interview with Rav Ofer Erez, shlita, adapted and translated from Hithadshut magazine.
You can read Part 1 HERE.
Q: Rebbe Nachman was one of the figures that you connected to when you made teshuva. Where there other figures that you connected to, before then?
Truthfully, I had a lot of knowledge and learning in the scientific arena, but as I mentioned, I also felt that something profound was missing. One of the figures who I felt drawn to in a notably deep way at that time was Albert Einstein.
He also experienced something of a spiritual search, at a particular point in his life, but he didn't merit to make teshuva as a result. There were days when I felt very attached to him, and I found a lot of points of similarity between our lives and his own search for spirituality.
Then suddenly I got introduced to Rebbe Nachman, who quickly became the most important figure for me, and who stretched his hand out towards me to take me out of where I was, to help me make teshuva.
Q: How did that connection with Rebbe Nachman occur, given that you were immersed in a world with so little connection to spirituality and holiness?
It happened at a time when I was very busy studying a particular subject in the 'Torah' of quantum physics. It was a very deep subject that was on the cutting edge of scientific knowledge and theoretical physics, something that was within the material world but also above the material world.
Physics busied itself only with the material world, whatever could be contained within the borders of 'mass' and 'movement' etc. What was beyond that was beyond the realm of physics.
A short while before this, Einstein had discovered electromagnetic radiation – or to give it its more common name – energy. The process of resolving all the apparent contradictions and of trying to classify, in a scientific fashion.
What energy waves actually were, stretched out over a few years, until it was clearly determined that there were two separate spheres of activity. Namely: energy and matter. And, that there wasn't really a connection between them, despite the fact that these two things really defined the borders of scientific research.
In this manner, the scientific community settled their minds about the matter, and they could once again sleep at night.
But then another huge question suddenly popped up, namely that in the process of undertaking research into the 'nucleus' of atoms, they'd clearly discovered electromagnetism, which clearly demonstrated that energy actually existed within matter.
And in a similar fashion, they'd also discovered the nuclei of atoms and other 'data' pertaining to the matter in the midst of these electromagnetic waves, too. The scientists are still struggling to explain this subject, even today, and this is what I decided to do my final work for my degree on, at the university.
Around this time, I found a book which contained one of Rabbenu's discussions, it was called: Conversations, stories, and dreams, by Pinchas Sadei, a famous secular author who actually merited to acquire emuna at the end of his life.
And there, in one sentence, I felt that Rebbe Nachman had very simply reconciled the scientists' whole big conundrum.
Rabbenu wrote that there were four levels of creation, namely inanimate matter, vegetation, living organisms, and speech and that these four levels were connected. And between the material world and the spiritual world, there was light.
And with this, he reconciled all of science's profound contradictions. He did this in essence by stating the fact that there is light, i.e. energy, to be found between all four levels of material life.
When I showed this stuff to the scientists, they were very excited about it, and they asked me to write an additional thesis on the subject. I agreed on the condition that I'd be able to write about the things that really interested me.
They asked me what that was, and I told them that I wanted to investigate the evolution of the world, over the last 200 years, and how science had evolved, together with the evolution of the arts and also society itself. I wanted to reveal the connections that were binding these three spheres together.
They had no idea where I'd got that idea from, but they agreed. In the Zohar, it talks about all these types of 'evolutions'. After I'd written this research paper and turned it into the university, they got very excited about it and asked me to publicize it by writing to all of the leading scientists of the day, which would guarantee me a glittering scientific career.
But at that point, I pulled a disappearing act and went straight to join forces with Rabbenu.
Q: Certainly, nothing ever happens for no reason, and you were even a good shaliach (messenger) to find the spiritual aspects contained in your scientific research. Since then, have you had any opportunity to use your scientific training to further any other spiritual goals or processes?
This story is hot off the presses: One day this week, I was giving a shiur (Torah class) in the centre of the country, and people from every sort of background come this to this class, including those who appear to be very far indeed from Jewish observance – but their hearts are still on fire for Hashem!
Over the last few weeks, a young guy has been attending who spent many years living in chutz l'aretz (outside of Israel), and he started asking me all the difficult questions the scientists have about quantum physics.
With Hashem's help, I was able to answer all of his questions, and he got a lot of chizzuk (spiritual strengthening) from this. It was the first time that he'd heard answers to the convoluted questions that he'd got entangled with.
Obviously, this was the opening required to try to get him into 'Rabbenu's tent'. Sometimes, we have to learn things in order to be able to deal with people who live in a completely different reality.
We have to enter into their reality in order to create an opportunity to influence them, there.
Q: Like many of the other leading figures in Breslov chassidut, Rav Ofer Erez also traveled a long path that took him through the Lithuanian Yeshiva world, which is where he learned in-depth study of the Gemara.
We asked the Rav to tell us a little bit about his time studying at the kollel associated with the Slabodka yeshiva.
I got to the Slabodka yeshiva after I'd already come closer to Breslov. It was certainly a very special yeshiva, which had the 'space' to accept everyone, and not only did I never hear a single word there that was said against Breslov chassidut, just the opposite was occurring.
The people there who were interested in discussing the essence of Breslov chassidut with me were sincerely interested in the subject and weren't just trying to disqualify it or to criticize it.
I remember some very lengthy conversations I had with one of the yeshiva's rabbis about Rabbenu HaKadosh (Rebbe Nachman) and his advice. Even my chevruta (learning partner) there was a chassid, but it was only later on that he told me that he was a Breslover chassid.
At that time, there were 15 students in the yeshiva who got closer to Breslov, and together we got stronger in our avodat Hashem (holy endeavors).
I should add here that it was a place with a lot of daat (spiritual wisdom), with a lot of deep, intellectually-stimulating learning, but which still recognized that there are many different paths that a person can follow in pursuit of their avodat Hashem.

Blogging live from the extremely sunny campus of Texas A&M, College Station, Texas. Quite a contrast from snowy Edmonton.
I have been fortunate enough to be invited to spend a week at Texas A&M (TAMU) to visit some of the scholars with whom I collaborate on the Novel TM project. Project co-investigator Doctor Laura Mandell and PhD student Nigel Lepianka were nice enough to show me around the campus (unable to drive, I find myself relying on Nigel most of the time).
So far, I presented some of my work on text mining JRPG video game reviews and was introduced to other text mining techniques using R (specifically, Nigel's method to do some directed topic modelling). I was also introduced to some of the projects that the team here is working on as part of their Initiative for Digital Humanities, Medias and Culture.
The first one is syriaca.org, an extensive web portal that brings ressources for the study of the Syriac language to the wide web. While some of its contents remain to be published, the Gazetteer showcases how the platform can contribute as a geographical reference index.
I also was introduced to the BigDIVA viewer today. This is a promising interface that could revolutionize library search results display for universities. I am particularly interested in its potential to help rethinking queries with space in mind, a way to present queries in a less hierarchical manner which would allow the uncovering of marginal files and documents. This is radically different that the regular Google search algorithms which relies more on result popularity amongst millions of users (a form of crowdsourcing) who may be looking for the same specific website. An interesting tool, and one that triggers reflections about what it means to read (and play) space.

This one is an odd bit of news from TSN:
The Toronto Maple Leafs and Calgary Flames are among the teams interested in pending free agent Derek Ryan.
TSN Senior Hockey Reporter Frank Seravalli reported the Leafs haven't made a firm offer to Ryan yet as they wait to see where John Tavares ends up, while the Flames have a multi-year offer on the table for him.
Seravalli added a team in the Central Division has also offered Ryan a multi-year deal while the Detroit Red Wings and Columbus Blue Jackets are also believed to be interested in his services.
Ryan, 31, registered15 goals and 38 points over 80 games with the Carolina Hurricanes during the 2017-2018 season.

text: Yesterday we reported: "On a seemingly incongruous note, Vidmeter is in a partnership with MTV (a Viacom company) showcasing the vlogging talents of Matt Sunbulli, one of the network's hosts." At that point the video appeared on Vidmeter's site with text stating that the company was in a partnership with MTV. Oops! Today, Bri Holt has removed that text with the following update, "We've changed the language of this post to reflect the fact that MTV and Vidmeter are not associated." In fairness, Holt reached out to us several times today on the matter, so we suggest cutting the guy some slack.

Boneless Pork Country Style Ribs
Nary a day goes by without thinking of some sort of smoky goodness from the old Weber. And with the evidence from our city's' self proclaimed snowmagedden all but a memory, it is a grand time to satisfy that smoky wish.
Grabbing the chimney and hearing that familiar rattle, I knew that shortly it would be puffing with starter smoke, filling the backyard with a familiar aroma.
This day is mild, and perfect for a leisurely smoke. I don't want this to be over too quick, mind you. As many a passionate griller will tell you, if they choose to speak the truth, is that grilling, and tending the grill are indeed worthwhile activities, and as such, can be done for hours at a time. The guarding of the grill, the tinkering, and the overall "mulling around" all are important activities, especially when on a longer smoke.
I gathered together the Boneless Country Style Ribs, which oddly enough, aren't ribs at all, but more of a chop type of cut. But I'm ok with calling them ribs, because after all, some folks consider a small stick of breaded chicken a boneless chicken wing as well. Boneless Country Style Ribs they shall remain.
First things first, as they say, so these ribs get rubbed down with authority, using our house rub. There's no need to be gentle or stingy with the rub. Be generous, and be thorough.
When the Weber has stabilized its temperature, and is ready to accept the pork for a low and slow episode, the ribs are ceremoniously put on the grill, opposite the fire.
The lid is closed, and the previously mentioned "mulling around" may commence. On this day, that takes a good two and a half to three hours, while the smoke and fire do their thing. The aroma continues as well, with applewood smoke and that nicely assembled barbecue rub mixing together to signal good things to come.
With a single flip along the way, and the addition of quality sauce and a finely crafted brew, these boneless beauties were looking just right.
Once plated, it is only natural to add in the creamy coleslaw and enjoy a leisure dinner.

British Virgin Islands – Post Irma
In October of 2017 I was schedule for my 4th bareboat charter in the British Virgin Islands, however, that September Hurricane Irma ravaged the British Virgin Islands. As the news and pictures emerged I remembered fearing that the BVI would never recover. But 9 months later, as we disembarked after a week on a Sunsail 454, I knew the BVI would be back, better than ever.
The scars from the storm are still clearly visible everywhere – roofless buildings, limbless trees and sunken boats. There are stories that will break your heart, and stories that will reveal the unbreakable human spirit. The people of the BVI are strong, friendly and welcoming!
If you are thinking about taking a trip, stop thinking and book it.

Lincoln, NE – November 15, 2019 – Richard Beran of Lexington won $82,000 playing Nebraska Pick 5 from the Nebraska Lottery.
Beran bought his winning ticket where he always does, at Casey's General Store at 609 Plum Creek Parkway in Lexington. The ticket contained one play with the winning numbers 03, 28, 31, 35 and 38 from the October 25 drawing for the $82,000 jackpot.
While claiming hs prize at Nebraska Lottery headquarters, Beran told Lottery officials he had some trouble telling his wife about the win.
After trying unsuccessfully to call her, he stopped by his wife's office and left a note on her car telling her he'd won. After she found it, she called him back, sure he was playing a trick on her. Even after assuring her it was a real winning ticket, he still had some trouble believing it himself.
"I was completely flabbergasted," he said.
Beran said he'll be spending some of his money on Christmas presents and a vehicle. He's still not sure what he'll be driving, as he wants a new Mustang, but his wife thinks a new Jeep would be more practical.
Nebraska Pick 5 is Nebraska's unique Lottery game: all the proceeds from Nebraska Pick 5 stay in Nebraska, and all the winning tickets are sold in Nebraska at Nebraska Lottery Lotto game retailers. The odds of winning the Nebraska Pick 5 jackpot, which starts at $50,000 and grows by $4,000 each drawing that is not won, are 1 in 501,942 while the overall odds of winning a prize in the game, which has drawings seven nights a week, are 1 in 8.
The mission of the Nebraska Lottery is to generate proceeds for good causes while providing quality entertainment options to Nebraskans. Over $750 million has been raised for the Nebraska Lottery's beneficiary funds since the Lottery began in 1993. All 93 counties in Nebraska have benefited from projects funded with these Nebraska Lottery proceeds.

What more do we know about the British Airways data breach?
Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.
Friday was one of those occasional crazy days for us. Whenever British Airways is leading the news agenda we are normally sucked along in the tailwind, whether we like it or not. Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences and suggestions via our comments.
I popped up in the Daily Telegraph (see here), The Guardian and Daily Express and I did a segment for talkRADIO (listen here in the 14.30 segment, 5:11 in). I was even invited on Good Morning Britain but unfortunately (or not) the invite arrived after I had gone to bed on Thursday. I wore my best TV shirt to the office just in case but no other offers were forthcoming 🙂
What did we actually learn though?
The key revelation yesterday was the sheer breadth of data that was stolen.
We know that 380,000 bookings were compromised. These were made between 22:58 on 21st August and 21:45 on 5th September. For all of those bookings, the hackers have your:
- email address
- postal address
- credit card number
- expiration date
…. according to Alex Cruz on Radio 4. The CVV data gives a clue to how this happened. Companies are not allowed to store CVV numbers. This means that the data was stolen on the journey from the BA IT system to BA's payment processing company.
Who was impacted?
It still isn't clear. British Airways has said that only bookers at ba.com and via the mobile app were affected.
However, various reports in our comments and elsewhere suggest that people who have booked via telephone and with BA Holidays are receiving emails saying their details are compromised. People who have only had money REFUNDED are also reporting getting the email. It is probably best to assume that any transaction you've made which led to a BA credit card charge or refund is likely to be at risk.
Am I at risk if I didn't make a booking?
No. Any stored cards you have at ba.com were not compromised.
No passport or flight data was stolen either, as this is not passed to the payment processing company.
Whilst ba.com now says "The personal and financial details of customers making or changing bookings on ba.com and the airline's mobile app were compromised.", my reading of this is that you only have issues if you made a change which incurred a change fee. Paying the change fee will have exposed your card details.
Will BA be fined for this?
Almost certainly, under the new GDPR regime which came into force this year. It is likely to be the first major penalty enforced since those rules were adopted. It will be interesting to see what level it is set at, given that the cap is 4% of BA's (huge) turnover.
IAG's share price fell 3.6% yesterday morning as investors worries about compensation payments and the impact on future bookings but had recovered to a 1.35% fall by the end of the day. The overall market was only down 0.55%.
Talking of the new regulations …..
This, from the ICO website, is what the Information Commissioners Office says a company has to tell its customers when it discovers a breach. British Airways did not comply with this in its original email to those who were impacted, which is why it had to send a 2nd email last night. These are the rules:
"You need to describe, in clear and plain language, the nature of the personal data breach and, at least:
- the name and contact details of your data protection officer (if your organisation has one) or other contact point where more information can be obtained;
- a description of the likely consequences of the personal data breach; and
- a description of the measures taken, or proposed to be taken, to deal with the personal data breach and including, where appropriate, of the measures taken to mitigate any possible adverse effects."
Should I pro-actively cancel my credit card?
There is no evidence yet of any card fraud linked to this breach.
This in itself is odd. Why go to all the trouble of stealing this data if you are not going to cash in on it?
American Express has decided to do nothing. If you want full peace of mind, I recommend reporting your card as 'lost' via the website which will trigger a new one. Monzo, Starling, Virgin Money and Tesco Bank, amongst others have said that any card which was used for a BA transaction will automatically be replaced.
On the upside ….
There is no sign of Alex's hi-viz vest yet.
If you want to know more …..
There is a dedicated British Airways web page with more information which you can find here.

Lady Gaga Is Coming To St. Louis
It's The Born This Way Ball and pre-sale tickets are available today starting at 10am! General admission tickets go on sale tomorrow, October 5th at 10am.
The Born This Way Tour began in Asia in August, hits North America in January 2013, and will be in St. Louis at the Scottrade Center on February 2nd, 2013.
Now I'm no Little Monster, but if there is one concert that I know is well worth skipping paying some bills this month to instead buy a ticket for a quality seat at the Scottrade Center, it's Lady Gaga.
Gaga is not just a singer, not just a performer, she's an influential woman in our society right now in all aspects. Did you know she is the only artist in this digital era to top the $5 million sales mark with just her first 2 hits? She is huge in social media! In fact, she is #1 on Twitter with 30 million followers. And she has conversations with her followers and responds to them daily! On top of that, she's an amazingly talented singer, a great dancer, and a performer with elaborate, over-the-top shows that are literally unlike any other.
She's on fire and if what we've seen from her so far, with her Grammy and VMA performances and her off-the-wall outfits like her meat dress and Kermit dress are any inclination to what we'll see on her tour, then move over Nicki because Gaga is the must-see concert of the year!
If you've already seen a live Lady Gaga performance, then you're already entranced. But if you haven't…these should give you an idea:
- This video is from an American Idol performance, which we all know requires artists to keep things toned down considerably.
- Here's a photo of her performing "Born This Way" during her current tour:
- Lastly, some facts about ticket sales from her current tour:
What does all of this mean? It means buy your tickets like now because Lady Gaga tickets sell out faster than you can say Monster. Good luck!
Oh, and just for something to listen to while you're purchasing your tickets, here's one of my favorites, "Hair", from her Born This Way album:

Mojave Beta 7 released: FaceTime group chat removed
This update is predicted to improve the system's performance and fix some bugs.
Apple rolled out iOS 12 Beta 7 days ago, which was cancelled due to performance issues. But Mac users have no need to worry, the latest beta of macOS has still come as expected. Almost at the same time, Apple pushed macOS Mojave Beta 7 for developers and Beta users.
For macOS Mojave Beta 7, the greatest change of this update is removing FaceTime group chat, which Apple said would be brought back in the later update. That function allows the user to chat with 32 persons at the same time. Apple hasn't yet mentioned any of other new features in the update log. It is predicted to have system improvement and bug fixes in this update.
macOS Mojave brought a series of new updates, including the system-wide Dark Mode, which provides Mac users with a new browsing way for system operation. The improved Mac App Store can find excellent apps more easily than before. And the improved Finder window has a gallery view, sidebar, quick search and quick actions, making the operation and edit; and the desktop stack can quickly sort out all the files on the desktop. In macOS Mojave, apps including Apple News, Stocks, Family and Voice Memos have launched Mac, now you can control HomeKit products by using Siri on Mac.
Besides macOS Mojave Beta 7, Apple has also rolled out WatchOS 5 and tvOS 12 beta 7.

Pier and Beam Foundation Repair
If your home has a Pier & Beam Foundation, you may notice some of the same common signs of foundation problems including cracks in walls, windows and doors that stick, or uneven floors.
Pier & Beam foundations are prone to subsidence and rot, meaning that it's quite common to need to replace/repair this type of install.
The 'fix' for your Pier & Beam Foundation can be as simple as a re-set and re-shim of the understructure. Also, over time the supporting beams or joists may twist, bend, or rot. In this case the wood will need to be replaced with treated lumber that is appropriate for the situation.
