The rock band avoids the oldies route by continuing to write new songs
Great White feeding on fans at London Music Hall
Looking through the window of a garage near his home, Mark Kendall watched as the guitarist put the instruments to his lips and played mimicking the move that helped make Jimi Hendrix a legend.
"I ran home and told my dad I wanted a guitar," said the 61-year-old founder of the classic rock band Great White, which plays London Music Hall Saturday in support of its new album, Full Circle.
"I was nine years old and like every other kid I played baseball and rode mini-bikes. My dad got me a Spanish acoustic guitar and the next year I got an electric. When I discovered Carlos Santana, that was the end of the world (as I knew it) for me."
So began Kendall's music career. It has straddled six decades, more than four with the same band he helped found in 1977, has since sold millions of records and continue with fresh material.
Great White is a straight-ahead rock band that keeps putting out new albums and introducing new generations to their music.
"I remember we were in Germany playing and I came outside the hall and there were a couple of 20-somethings waiting there dressed the way I used to dress in the '80s," said Kendall with a chuckle.
"We do have the young fans coming to our shows, buying our music. I remember overhearing one of my son's friends saying, 'Hey, man, your dad shreds, bro.' It's nothing like it was with our parents whose music was so far away for us to relate to. When we do a new disc, they seem to love it. For them, it's like a cult, like they've discovered something new."
The band's popularity peaked in the late '80s and early '90s, the days of big hair and leather pants when they earned a Grammy nomination for the Ian Hunter-penned song, Once Bitten, Twice Shy off the . . . Twice Shy album that followed their most successful album, Once Bitten . . . .
"In the early days, all we wanted was to be like Judas Priest or Scorpion," recalled Kendall. "I feel we came into our own when we did Once Bitten . . . ."
I remember overhearing one of my son's friends saying, 'Hey, man, your dad shreds, bro.'Mark Kendall
The band had an on-again, off-again relationship with lead singer Jack Russell that led to a few band breakups over his drug and alcohol problems. One breakup led Russell to form Jack Russell's Great White, which led to the band's darkest moment – a fire at the Station nightclub in Rhode Island in 2003 sparked by the band's pyrotechnics that left 100 people dead and about 200 injured.
Kendall and the band don't talk about the fire at the request of the families of the victims. They have also cut ties with Russell, who continues to tour with Jack Russell's Great White after a legal settlement with the band.
The music industry has changed dramatically since the band's early days of headlining or opening for other major acts in arenas and stadiums, the days when they would tour for months in a bus with transport trucks full of equipment before returning home.
"Back then, we were selling millions of records and nobody cared whether we made money on the tour, as long as we broke even," said Kendall.
"Now, it's tough trying to get our music out to people with all the social media and different platforms. Now, we've got to make money with our live shows. So we'll fly to a few gigs and come right back home. I remember back in the day when buying a record was a day-long event. You'd go to the store, buy the album, put it on and listen and read the album cover over and over. Now, a teenager will just download a few hundred songs before they go to school."
Kendall said the fuel that keeps driving the band is the need to create.
"We need to keep writing and creating," he said. "That keeps us motivated. We don't want to become one of those oldies bands. No, we still get together to write and someone will say, 'I've got this tune that could be the one . . .' That's why we got into this whole thing in the first place. We still have it. We still have that kid energy when we get on stage."

NWT focuses on and sells three species of captive bred turtles and tortoises.
Please note: NWT allows breeding very sparingly. NWT produces less than 30 hatchlings per year. No species overcrowding rescues are bred or will ever be bred (Sulcatas, Russians, water turtles). NWT believes there are responsible owners that want quality, captive bred animals for lifelong pets. If a qualified and dedicated hobbyist is approved to purchase, the turtle/tortoise will be sold and the proceeds go directly to funding NWT. NWT does not supply retail stores, flippers or wholesalers. Learn more in the FAQ section.
Sales Terms and Conditions:
1. Must be 18 years or older. Younger than 18 will need parental permission.
2. All fees will be paid prior to shipping/pick up. A PayPal invoice will be sent electronically.
3. Shipping charges will be the buyer's responsibility. Animals will be shipped via FedEx on Monday or Tuesday's only. In addition to shipping costs a $20 fee will be added to cover the cost of the shipping container and delivery to airport location. (Sales requiring Delta Dash will be considered on an individual basis.) How do you ship a tortoise? See FAQ number 15 on the subject.
4. If an arrangement of meeting somewhere is determined a $20 handling fee will apply.
5. Terms and conditions: Northwest Tortoise does it's very best to provide a healthy turtle/tortoise at the point of sale. Northwest Tortoise operates in good faith and will not knowingly sell an unhealthy turtle or tortoise. Turtles and tortoises are guaranteed for 7 days from date of arrival. If a turtle/tortoise dies within the 7-day period, proof must be provided in the form of photos, videos and/or the carcass of the animal. A discussion in good faith will take place and appropriate action will be taken. All sales are final.
6. Northwest Tortoise is not responsible for delays or situations created during shipping by FedEx.
Placing deposits to hold an animal:
It's common to place a deposit on a specific animal to wait for warm weather for shipping or other reasons. In this case the following guidelines apply:
- A non-refundable 50% deposit must be made. If the adopter changes their mind for any reason the deposit is forfeited. If the animal dies or is injured the buyer will have a choice of a replacement animal if one is available and agreed upon. If one is not available or agreed upon the buyer may choose a refund or keep the deposit on file to choose from the next available group.
- Follow-up care advice and information is always free. Northwest Tortoise strives to provide correct information to anyone interested in keeping their tortoises happy and healthy!
- Tortoises are not sold until they are at least a year old. Hatchling tortoises are very fragile and not ready to be shipped or deal with the stresses of a new home.
- Northwest Tortoise reserves and exercises the right to refuse the sale of a tortoise. An extensive conversation about care, housing and diet will take place. New tortoise owners willing to learn are welcome!

Internet of Business speaks to Christophe Zehnacker, head of strategic digital partnerships at global payments company Mastercard, about the coming 'Internet of Payment Things'.
After years of promises and some false starts, the mobile payments revolution is now in full swing. Consumers around the world are increasingly comfortable with using their smartphone to make payments. It's a quick and convenient way to get their hands on that rush-hour train ticket or vital, pre-meeting cup of coffee. It's a great way too to make that in-app purchase to access new levels of a game, for example, or renew a magazine subscription.
But mobile payments are just the start of a much bigger revolution, says Christophe Zehnacker, head of strategic digital partnerships at global payments company Mastercard.
The next big wave in what he calls "friction-free commerce", he says, will see consumers able to make payments through the many of the smart, connected devices that make up the IoT. Mastercard is committed to playing its part in making this vision a reality through its 'Commerce for Every Device' program.
From wearables to washing machines
"The way we see it, every connected device is going to be a commerce device – whether it's a wearable device, a car, a consumer home appliance like a fridge or washing machine, or another smart home device, perhaps smart home speakers… They can all become shopping devices," he says.
That means, for example, that a homeowner will be able to pay their electricity bill directly from their smart meter. A runner will be able to pay for a refreshing post-10k drink directly from their wrist-worn fitness tracker. A driver will be able to order and pay for cinema tickets directly from their smart car, while on their way to the cinema.
Mastercard's digital transformation journey thus far has been built on two key assets, Zehnacker explains, and these will continue to be key as this second wave of new payment types takes off.
The first is Masterpass, a digital payment service that enables consumers to make fast, simple and secure digital payments in store (via contactless), in apps and online and is typically distributed to consumers via their issuing banks. Over 80 million Masterpass consumer accounts are already enabled, says Zehnacker, with acceptance at over 300,000 online merchants worldwide and over 6 million physical contactless point-of-sale terminals. Masterpass will also integrate with Microsoft Wallet, Android Pay and Samsung Pay in the future.
The second asset is the Mastercard Digital Enablement Service (MDES), an industry standard tokenisation service that facilitates ApplePay, AndroidPay and SamsungPay, and that will also help transform any connected device into a commerce device to make payments. Later this year, Mastercard plans to announce partnerships with a number of well-known brands that manufacture IoT devices, according to Zehnacker.
Smart collaborations
Partnership, of course, is key to all these plans, which is where Zehnacker and his team come in. Mastercard must increasingly collaborate not only with the banks and retailers that have been its traditional partners, but also with smart device manufacturers and the technology companies that help build Masterpass wallets and that connect to the MDES tokenization service.
In the space of connected cars, Mastercard is working with tech giant IBM and carmaker General Motors to embed Mastercard payments in future GM models, as part of GM's OnStar Go in-car system. It has also worked with Samsung to allow consumers in the US to order items from FreshDirect and ShopRite supermarkets, via Samsung's Family Hub refrigerator.
In the future, Zehnacker envisages consumers strapping on a virtual reality (VR) head-mounted device (HMD), in order to roam the aisles of a retail brand's 'virtual store', regardless of their actual physical location, and make purchases from their HMD while inside that VR experience.
"The possibilities are almost endless," says Zehnacker. "Some time in 2018, there will be more IoT devices in the world than there are mobile devices, according to industry reports. That calls for a very wide ecosystem of ideas and skills and technologies, including those that we already have at Mastercard and those we continue to develop, to bring to reality our vision of every device as a shopping device."
Christophe Zehnacker, Mastercardis a member of advisory board for the Internet of Banking and Payments Conference 2017, along with 40 other international expert speakers focusing on wearables, biometrics, data analytics and management, ID verification, customer trust, security and how IoT can change the user experience. The conference takes place on 21-23 November in London, United Kingdom.
Agenda topics include:
- PSD2: An amazing IoT opportunity
- How to create a robust defence against IoT payment cyber crime
- New Regulatory Requirements for IoT payments implementation
- Innovative business models & subscription services with IoT
- Technological advances in 2018
- The future of seamless transactions
- Blockchain: Asset tracking and payments
Complimentary passes are available for qualifying candidates. Pleasevisit the official event website to view the full agenda and to register: https://goo.gl/rnQm4g

TRANSITION: Are there any questions over the purpose, learning objectives, how the class will be taught, or how you will be evaluated? Before a climb can start we need a belay.
B (5 Min) THE BELAY. Where a belayer chooses to establish his belay is an important consideration. It is possible that the belayer may sit or stand for hours on end so a position of comfort should be chosen. There are two basic stances, sitting and standing. Normally sitting is used on the top anchor and standing on the bottom.
TRANSITION: Now that we have talked a little about the belay, let's now look at some dangers to avoid when party climbing.

Metallic Embossing Powder - Penny
Customer Reviews
Metallic Embossing Powder - Penny
This was the first product I tried when the store was first opened in the house down the street from where it is now. It was top quality and it got me hooked on Brutus Monroe products!
The color of this is fabulous and it melts beautifully.
This embossing powder truly lives up to its name! Truly spectacular! Looks just like a brand new penny! You won't regret purchasing up this powder!
I have this embossing powder and I have been very impressed by the metallic shine it produces. It melts very smooth without much (if any) unpleasant odor. Also, if I let my heat gun warm up properly before bringing it to my paper, it melts very quickly, which is wonderful for avoiding paper warping.

Meet your new secret weapon for high-impact training and weightlifting. With the new features the Metcon 5 shoes are a whole lot more performance enhancing than ever before. To celebrate the highly anticipated launch of the all new Nike Metcon 5 shoes, I was invited to a training session with Nike at London's 12×3 Gym. This was the perfect opportunity to put the Metcon 5 shoes and the new Nike Pro Collection with new technology through its paces.
With a bespoke session put in place by the Nike trainers, it became evident very soon that the new Metcon 5 shoes was a whole new level to what I've worn in the gym in the past.
The Nike Metcon 5 is the most tuned Metcon yet. This involves stability for heavy lifting, traction made for speed and durability. It includes a Hyperlift insert that's compatible with prior versions of the Metcon range. This gives that extra level of stability for those squats and deadlifts! Here are some of the key features:
Zoned Durability
Textured print on the top of the shoe adds lightweight durability where it's needed.
Enhanced Grip
Directional traction on the outsole wraps up the side of the shoe for grip when climbing a rope and speed when sliding down.
Diverse Cushioning
Foam is firmer under the heel for a secure feel and softer in the forefoot to cushion high-impact moves.
The good news is that the Metcon 5 training shoes are now available for you to get your hands onto. Retailing at £114.95 these training shoes are a real investment for your training regime. Head over to the Nike website to explore more and chose from the 5 colours which they are available in. If that isn't enough – and if you are feeling creative – you can also design your own pair by visiting the Nike Metcon 5 By You section.

I figured I'd just get it outta the way .For many of you Northern Beeks I probably will be considered a hillbilly.Howdy!
But down here they call me a yankee.You guys .
This being due to living up north in Mich. during my formative years.
Here in Tn. I am told "I know you aint from around here. Are you?"
There.(Or ,' Up there' ,as us hillbillies like to say .) I pretty much didn't fit in with the in crowd either.Tho they would tell me they love the way I talk. They would often just want me to say it again ,for the fun of it.
Both places say that I have an accent.Imagine that.
I love to joke.But yall might find my sense of humor a little quirky. Maybe it is a language barrier. Or I could really but an alien as I wondered when I was a kid.
I like alot of beekeepers today took up the hobby because I wanted to save the bees. I thought it to posibly be the best way to effect a positive mark on life. For the earth and posterity sake .Don't you know.
Well too. I thought it might be some place I might fit in.
I never was into sports.At school after the fith grade. I liked to play them alright just wasn't on any teams.
I have never been a social butterfly , so this is something I thought I'd like to be. Sometimes when I do a cutout when the people were gonna exterminate .I kinda feel like a hero of sorts.
That might be all that keeps me in the game.This is my forth year bee keeping and it can be mightily disappointing.
First year my wifes uncle (uncle in law)gave me a strong nuc late summer .I was full of joy. I'd go out and watch them in bliss and wonderment. Several times a day. Then Fall came.
Stricken with ,hornets , yellow jackets ,red wing black birds then a heart breaking robbing that caused what bees were left to abscond because of SHB.Although it made me feel sick I decided to order me some more bees.
I placed order from a local farmer and keeper who we buy milk honey and other sundrys from. I reminded him in January that I was still interested.Come April he had forgoten all about me then postponed again.
By now I had learned enough from You tube that I started swarm trapping cause it seemed to late to get bees at the beginning of summer. I set out four traps .These with the new topbar hive I built landed me 4 colonys. Great joy again to late summer flow ended robbing started,numbers dropped and small hive beetles prevailed.I had learned to put out sugar feed by then but I had an open feeding station too close to my apiary.Winter finished off the small colony I had left til the following spring.
By this time I had had enough time to build much more equipment .More traps and infect my neighbors.I designed and gave them some hanging topbar hives and set up feeding stations.This netted me seven.Three of them all got one year hive joy I ended the season with four.
Spring come with two remaining.Wax moths and a dead out.
This year I caught ten(including cutouts) ,neighbors three ,I bought two .I split four .Lost seven . One neighbor has one.This left me with seven .Three strong .four 5 frame that are hit and miss.
I had one hive abscond five times in one day .I was home and me and my wife kept tanging them down.On the forth try I moved them into a new box then gave them some brood.They still swarmed leaving only enough stragglers to keep me from opening them up to check them out for a week.This hive died after they sent out an unsuccesful virgin queen.
First couple years I wondered if I could do it or not .Its a whole lot of work with near as much heart ache.Now I can understand Michael Palmer saying not to sweat the small hives.
I was only getting started cause this is my first bee forum and nobody else really wants to hear it.Plus at first I could figure out how to post.Then I thought maybe I oughta give it a rest here before I stop being the fun new guy.
Look forward to meeting yall!You guys keep on keeping.

Check Out: London Grammar - "Metal & Dust"
London Grammar stole our hearts and firmly grabbed our attention a couple months ago with "Hey Now." Today, the British triumvirate have released their second track, "Metal & Dust," which shows the same poised style of their first single. Its chorus feels human in its contradiction ("We argue, we don't fight"), and the song satisfies with a take on pop that is at once minimalist and full-sounding.
"Metal & Dust" is the title track to their debut EP, which is due out February 25 on their own (we believe) Metal & Dust Recordings.

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
Ya Ali Madad. In Pandiyat-i Jawanmardi, Imam NOOR Mowlana Shah Mustansir bi'l-laah II (a.s.) teaches us about the rewards of submitting dasond (mal-i wajibat):
"And the Lord (Khudawand) has said: "However much my slaves may give, I, the Creator, shall return to them a hundred-thousand-fold, and shall grant them the chance of my vision (liqa'), together with (Paradisial) castles, (various delightful) places, sights, memorable visions and advantageous positions in heaven. Whoever (from amongst them) has passed beyond this world, will be like one who has already passed the (bridge of) sirat. One who works for the Truth is working for himself. But whoever works for himself, in reality, is a useless waster, because it is the Creator who is the owner of men he has created, and of all they possess. If a man pays the tithe, the nine remaining shares are his lawful possession, otherwise all that he possesses is unlawful to him."(Pir Pandiyat-i Jawanmardi, p.56)

"Smile! Be Merry! It's a happy time of year!" But what if you can't smile? What if you don't feel the "holiday spirit"? If this is you, you can be sure you are not alone. Many people have those same feelings this time of year. Perhaps, you will not even be able to pinpoint why you feel this way; you just do.
Medical professionals have concluded that certain individuals may be more prone to what is called "seasonal depression". Unfulfilled expectations, financial pressures, and excessive commitments during the Christmas season can all bring about feelings of stress and anxiety. Perhaps the past year was filled with difficulty, or even tragedy. For instance, losing a loved one can make the holiday season almost unbearable.
What can be done? You might be thinking, "This guy's a pastor! He's just going to say 'have faith' and then everything will magically get better." Yes and no. I do believe that ultimately everything in life boils down to spiritual issues and one's relationship with God. However, no, I do not think we can simply broad-stroke each individual's feelings with a silver bullet Bible verse, or instruct people that if they merely change their thinking, everything will be better. What I can offer is hope.
Hope is a word that is fundamentally misunderstood. These days we generally use the word hope as a synonym for wishful-thinking, uncertainty in one's desire. However, the Bible uses the word hope to signify the feeling of confident expectation. The Apostle Paul ends his letter to the Romans by saying, "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope." (Romans 15:13) God is not a God of "wishful-thinking", nor does He desire that we abound in uncertainty. Rather, saying that God is the God of hope gives us certainty that the promises He has made will come to pass. Time may move slowly and trials may come upon us, but God's promises to His people will be kept. This is our hope. If you find yourself struggling with anxiety or depression this Christmas season, let me remind you of the hope of Christmas.
You see, we cannot separate the birth of Christ with the mission of Christ. That baby lying in a manger came to earth with a specific purpose. Jesus entered into His own creation in order to bring light and life. Since the fall of mankind and the entrance of sin, life has not been how God intended. The hatred and strife that permeates society, the sickness and disease that destroys families, the anxiety and depression that causes so many to despair of life are all the consequences of living in a sin-stained world. God knows this, cares about us, and He is making all things new. (Revelation 21:5) Jesus came to earth in order to save us from this broken world.
This is the hope of Christmas: that even when Jesus was still in the womb of his mother, Mary, she cried out "my spirit rejoices in God my Savior." (Luke 1:47) Zechariah proclaims, "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for He has visited and redeemed His people." (Luke 1:68) How could Mary rejoice in a Savior and Zechariah say that He has redeemed His people even before Jesus' birth? Only because those statements are spoken with hope, the confident expectation that God does not fail in His purposes. Jesus would grow, He would live a perfect life, and He would die as a perfect sacrifice for His people. If you come to Christ in repentance and faith, you can be sure that your present suffering is not the end. You can be certain that one day all of the trouble you have in this dark world will cease, and you will be with your God and King forever.
So even when it is hard, I encourage you to, "Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer." (Romans 12:12) God has not left you alone. "The sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us." (Romans 8:18) This is something we can hope for.
If you are not a follower of Christ and are struggling with finding hope, I tell you this: you can look in a lot of places to find meaning and hope, but I know (from personal experience) you will not find it. True and lasting hope only comes through Christ and what He accomplished upon the cross. I cannot offering a quick fix for all of your problems. I simply offer hope through those problems, even in the most difficult of circumstances.
One day when you leave this world, when you die and stand before God you can have hope, not because of who you are or what you've done, but because your trust is in Christ. My hope this Christmas is that the baby lying in the manger is my Savior. Is this your hope?

I love my mother. We've learned how to love each other from far away over these years of travel and living apart. We don't have a lot of time together so I look forward to the time we do get. Today, she is coming for a week to visit. But this is a visit with a purpose. My mom has skills and expertise that I am excited to tap into when I get the chance. This time we're thankful for her sewing skills and quilting expertise.
Remember our wedding guestbook quilt? Well, Ryan and I have slowly been working on the building blocks for the quilt top. And the key word here is slowly. I borrowed a sewing machine but at this rate, it's going to be finished by our 3rd anniversary (yes, by 2017). Since we really don't want to just take quilt pieces to Australia, my mother generously offered her time and expertise.
I'm looking forward to sewing time, talking time and hang out time with a purpose. It will be good quality time with my mother and hopefully we'll see quick progress of our quilt top too.

Is Jane Austen a Great Writer? – By Linore Rose Burkard
Quora is growing in popularity. What is Quora? A forum where anyone can ask a question to the world (the world as registered on the site, that is) and expect an answer. The good thing about Quora is that you can ask any question you want, and you might learn a thing or two while browsing answers. The bad thing is that anyone can answer your question—not only experts, but anyone—and the only possible "vetting" is by popularity: people either upvote an answer if they like it, or downvote it if they do not. An upvote doesn't mean the answer is necessarily correct. It just means the viewer liked it and voted for it.
What has this to do with defending Jane?
Since I am registered on Quora, I sometimes receive email notifications of new questions. I recently received the following: "Is Jane Austen a great writer?"

|A new band called the Bottom Feeders has been tearing up the Inkopolis charts lately. The band is fronted by a tropical-betta-fish violinist, features vocals by a dude made of seaweed, and also includes a shark, a scallop, and a globefish. Their unforgiving yet catchy music style is the product of fusing ancient Celtic sea shanties with punk rock.
The Bottom Feeders(NA/EU/OC)[a], or From Bottom(JP)[b], are a five-person Celtic rock band. Their songs were added in Splatoon 2's Version 2.0.0.
|Fictional Band
|Song Name
|Bottom Feeders
|Fins & Fiddles
|Seafoam Shanty
In Japanese, each song title has an English part and a Japanese part; for localization, only the English part was kept.[2]
- Fin Bottom (フィン・ボトム), the fiddler, is a glamorous tropical betta fish and the focus of the band's sound.[3] They prefer the sound of traditional music, and due to their stubborn personality, frequently end up clashing with the other members of the band, leading to the band nearly dissolving on multiple instances. They dislike the music of Ink Theory, which debuted at the same time.
- Tangle Bottom (タングル・ボトム), the vocalist, is a man made of the edible seaweed mozuku and the leader of the band.[3] In their album art, he wears a plaid kilt, combat boots, and large square glasses, reflecting the band's fusion of various styles. He is dissatisfied with the state of modern music, and attempted to start a musical revolution. Despite not appearing to have a mouth, he can produce sound by vibrating the string-like organs that make up his body, something he was unaware of until recently.
- Murutā Bottom (ムルター・ボトム), the guitarist, is a Yesso scallop with a weakness for cute girls. Unlike Fin Bottom and Tangle Bottom, they are not as particular about the sound of the band, and are fine with anything as long as they are having fun.
- Fuka Bottom (フカ・ボトム), the bassist, is a shark that likes motorcycles and meat. Much like Murutā Bottom, they are fine with doing anything as long as they are having a good time.
- Blow Bottom (ブロウ・ボトム), the drummer, is a pufferfish who wears a plaid kilt similar to that of Tangle. Like Murutā Bottom and Fuka Bottom, they also don't care much about the band's sound as long as they are having a good time, and they are a member of a Rainmaker team with Kuze and Ryū-Chang.

One of Polish local newspapers, Gazeta Pomorska, which is released in my hometown Bydgoszcz, published an article about me on September 17th. This is an article both about my this year International Photography Awards in USA and about my creative work. I have received two Honorable Mention Awards for two series of works. One of them depicts well-known a place in the city. This is our local landmark, Ostromecko Palace surrounded by a beautiful, Italian style garden.

Legacy – What is a Legacy?
(Content warning: I'm going to use the word legacy in this article. A lot.)
"What is a legacy?" Alexander Hamilton asks in the eponymous Broadway musical written by Lin Manuel Miranda (I'm a fan, if you couldn't tell), then explains it as "planting seeds in a garden you never get to see." This definition of legacy makes sense for the play, and for Hamilton, who instituted policies that exist to this day, who is now on the $10 bill, and who eventually got a hip-hop musical written about him. But it is also significant that the line is a question.
Legacy as a concept is flexible; it means different things to different people. I never really cared about the word until three weeks ago when my son was born. Now I think about legacy a lot, and what it means to me: as a last name, as one more generation of confusing pronunciations and disease jokes, as a chance to pass on knowledge and insight and put him in a better place than I am.
But legacy does not have a flat definition, and that's why I'm so intent on analyzing what Anthony Davis said in an otherwise non-story interview that I won't link. We've talked about this on twitter ad nauseum, but to reiterate: most things in these interviews are meaningless. Davis may have already made his decision. He may still be waiting on New Orleans to put a star next to him, to give him a reason to stay here a la Tracy Chapman. Whether or not Davis has made a decision, no one outside his family and the organization will know until the offseason, so any articles about that decision, even ones that feature words from the man himself, are mostly pointless. However, that word and its ambiguity makes it worth looking at.
Davis said legacy is more important to him than money. And that tracks — people respect the Kobe Bryants and Tim Duncans of the world way more than the Joe Johnsons and Carmelo Anthonys and Chandler Parsonses of the world. But what kind of legacy matters to AD? What kind of legacy does he want to leave behind? Legacy isn't just about championships. It's how those championships are won. Robert Horry's legacy will never be more valuable than someone like Steph Curry, because even though Horry won seven championships, he was always an accessory, never a feature. It's also why Dirk's one championship and the legacy he created means more to most than Kevin Durant's two (and possibly counting) titles, because of the circumstances with which Durant won his titles. Although in this circumstance, I think it makes sense to look at Durant to compare with Davis's situation.
Twenty years ago, your legacy as a champion was linked to where you won and who you won with. It's why the initial reaction to LeBron's decision was so negative, especially from stars of the 80s and 90s. But LeBron changed that as he built his legacy, winning two titles in Miami and a third, his biggest, in Cleveland. Maybe before LeBron, the idea of AD cementing his legacy by joining an already great team would have been soured. But because of LeBron and Durant, that isn't the case anymore. There is precedent for leaving and maintaining a mostly untarnished reputation.
If AD is focused on legacy, joining a team like Boston, the Lakers, or even Golden State and winning championships will definitely help in doing that. But I still think the context of legacy matters, and there's also the scope of legacy. I'm mostly talking about Reggie Miller.
Miller never won a championship. He also never left Indianapolis. He set all time records there, built a respectable Eastern Conference contender there, made the finals there. He became their king. Reggie's legacy will always be tied to the city that loves him, no matter how many times he says "Are you kidding me?" as a commentator.
Davis can have that sort of legacy in New Orleans. If he signs the extension and the team succeeds — gets another star, makes a deep playoff run, even makes the Finals — Davis's legacy will be cemented in the city of New Orleans. He'll be right under Drew as local sports gods, always remembered as the guy who made his sport in his city relevant. It may not be a championship one, but it's definitely one to be proud of.
And there's still that chance. That small chance. If Davis stays in New Orleans, and wins it all in New Orleans? That's the sort of legacy he cannot get anywhere else. Winning a championship in New Orleans will objectively mean more than winning it with a pre-built team. That sort of coronation would almost automatically make him an all-time great. Bringing a city its first championship in a sport means everything. It's why LeBron was able to write his own narrative so successfully, even after leaving.
Obviously that puts the onus on the Pelicans, both now and in the offseason going forward. They need to continue their improved play since Elfrid Payton returned. They need to be active in the trade market to show Davis how serious they are. Maybe they need to shake up the front office or coaching to bring in someone who is more trusted to win. And they cannot take a signed extension as the end of the battle. If he commits to the team, the team needs to commit to him however necessary. That's the sort of work required to create the kind of legacy Davis wants so much.
What is a legacy? It is a lot of things. For Anthony Davis right now, it is more important than money. But it could also be alluring enough for him to stay, to win, and to become a certified New Orleans legend. In the pantheon with Drew Brees, Louis Armstrong, Leah Chase. If he commits, and the team does as well, he can have a true New Orleans Legacy.

U.S. nuclear power plants generated 807.1 million megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity in 2018, surpassing the previous peak of 807.0 million MWh in 2010, the U.S. Energy Information Agency (EIA) said on Thursday.
Although several nuclear power plants have closed since 2010, a combination of uprates, shorter outage durations, and balance-of-plant thermal efficiency improvements led the U.S. nuclear power fleet in 2018 to see its highest capacity factor on record, at 92.6 percent, according to the agency.
Between 2010 and 2018, only one new nuclear power plant came online in the U.S. in the fall of 2016, providing 1.2 gigawatts (GW) of additional power, while seven plants with a combined capacity of 5.3 GW had retired since 2013.
Despite changes in capacity from plants coming online or retiring, the U.S. nuclear power fleet maintained electricity generation near 800 million MWh for over a decade for several reasons.
"Several plants commissioned uprates, which involves modifying the plant to increase its generating capacity. EIA recorded 2.0 GW of thermal power uprates between 2010 and 2018, nearly the equivalent of adding two new reactors similar to Watts Bar Unit 2," the EIA said.
As of the beginning of the year, the U.S. had 98 nuclear power reactors at 60 plants. However, the EIA expects that U.S. nuclear power output will decline in the near future.
The 2018 peak level of U.S. nuclear generation is unlikely to be surpassed in the coming decades, as only two new nuclear reactors are scheduled to come online in the near future.
The two reactors, which are planning to come online in 2021 and 2022, would provide 2.2 GW of additional power. However, this new capacity will not offset the capacity that is expected to retire in the next seven years.
As more nuclear power plants close, the EIA projects that by 2025 U.S. nuclear capacity will fall by 10.5 GW and that net electricity generation will decline by 17 percent.

Baseding on a Toronto Sunlight record, 49 % of American participants would certainly like to switch out the welcoming "Merry Xmas" with the insipid "Pleased Holidays." This was up from 44 % in 2010, baseding on everyone Faith Research Institute.Fans said the modification is needed out of respect for participants of various other beliefs.Younger folks appeared more likely to sustain this perspective, and it shows up to have caught on in alleged "progressive" offices, as Xmas events have actually paved the way to a culturally neutral holiday gathering.
Christmas celebrations in public schools have actually gone the same way. The Last Minute Holidays All Inclusive shows, with all those splendid and expressive choral efficiencies, have become changed with an inclusive event designed to calm a few strident advocates for non-Christian cultures.The style began at the very least twenty years back but it appears to have actually gathered momentum with different speakers for minority belief neighborhoods expecting not to be excluded.In attempting to become complete, we seem to have failed to remember that most Canadians– even secular ones– still commemorate Xmas.
Besides, the Xmas period is currently comprehensive enough. It means various points to various people, and has actually progressed to the point where, save for spiritual solutions, it is just nominally Christian.Supporters of X-mas have every right to expect the practices, festivities and the society of X-mas will not be diluted by other societies.Most of all, they deserve to call it Xmas.Also check out this great read about www.fizzyholidays.co.uk/bargain-holidays-cheap-all-inclusive-holidays.html is touching that a significant lot of North Americans, especially the young, think members of various other faiths need to be respected.Members of these various other faith neighborhoods must also acknowledge Xmas as a Western cultural marking pen.I am Muslim, yet nobody below in Canada has actually told me I must not call my event Eid or not be wanted a satisfied Eid.I commemorate it the way convention has actually determined. No person calls into question any one of the customs bordering Eid: the praise, greetings, meals, and the attire, as well as the name itself.The same is true of Vaisakhi among Sikhs, Diwali among Hindus and Hanukkah amongst Jews. No person ever before suggests these wonderfully varied cultural and religious traditions should not be noted, so why this discerning battle versus X-mas?
This is discrimination in reverse, maybe a lost worry of tyranny by the majority.Hence it leads to pronouncements– frequently by the state– that X-mas' impact must be watered down, any place possible.The truth is there is no tyranny associated with celebrating Christmas.Canada affords religious freedom to all and has actually taken in lots of various societies and customs.
It has actually provided many of them their initial opportunity not just to survive however to flourish.Rather than trying to eliminate Christmas and its routines, all brand-new Canadians need to think about commemorating this holiday as a comprehensive, Canadian one, along with their very own confidence practices.X-mas has an universal message of dream and love for every one of mankind. Last Minute Holidays All Inclusive For Family
messages of calmness, passion and harmony are not suggested solely for the Christian neighborhood.I hope Christmas survives the stable attack of political correctness accelerated by advocates of a skewed multiculturalism.There is area for everybody in Canada. No one ought to feel threatened that Canada's dominant society will certainly eliminate minority societies.I want my fellow Canadians not "Satisfied Holidays" yet a forthright and unapologetic "Merry Xmas".

About 5 to 10% percent of women with breast cancer have an inherited mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene, which puts them at greater risk for developing breast and ovarian cancers. For most women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer, having a BRCA mutation doesn't affect how the cancer itself is treated. But the presence of a BRCA mutation can present patients with an array of choices about lowering their risk of a future cancer.
For women diagnosed with stage I-III breast cancer, which has not metastasized to other parts of the body, treatment is based on factors such as the tumor's size, whether cancer cells are found in lymph nodes in the underarm, and whether it is classified as hormone receptor-positive, HER2-positive, or triple- negative, says Philip Poorvu, MD, a breast cancer specialist at Dana-Farber. A patient's BRCA status — whether the cancer does or doesn't carry a BRCA mutation — normally doesn't factor into the treatment of the cancer itself.
That hardly means that BRCA status is irrelevant, however. People who test positive for an inherited BRCA mutation may decide to take steps to reduce the chance that they'll develop another breast cancer, often by undergoing a bilateral (or double) mastectomy. Some women may choose to have additional screening rather than a mastectomy. Although screening does not prevent the development of cancer, it aims to detect it earlier. Women with BRCA mutations are also at increased risk of ovarian cancer and are recommended to undergo the removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes once they are done having children or by age 35-40.
Inherited BRCA mutations may also have consequences for patients interested in having children after breast cancer treatment, Poorvu continues. There is a 50% chance of passing the mutation on to each child, male or female. Some women in this position opt to undergo in vitro fertilization followed by a procedure in which newly formed embryos are tested for BRCA mutations. Those without mutations would be selected for implantation in the woman to initiate a pregnancy to avoid passing on the BRCA mutation.
People who carry inherited BRCA mutations also face the issue of how to inform relatives about the results of their BRCA testing. These relatives may also have a BRCA mutation, potentially increasing their own or their children's risk of breast, ovarian, or other cancers. Genetic counselors help patients understand the implications of genetic testing and genetic results and how to approach discussion with family members.
Patients for whom BRCA status can affect treatment are those with metastatic, or stage 4, breast cancer. These patients may be eligible for treatment with drugs known as PARP inhibitors, two of which — talazoparib and olaparib — have been approved by the FDA for patients with specific types of breast cancer.
Studies are currently under way evaluating other drugs that may also work particularly well on breast cancers in women with BRCA mutations, Poorvu states.

Kids do need room to grow. Not only do they outgrow clothes in the blink of an eye, they also grow as readers and writers. This is why we need classroom libraries stocked with a wide range of levels, and it's why we need writing centers stocked with paper choices.
What would it look like if you were to make your classroom a "minimalist classroom?" A classroom where you only kept the things you actually use, and you gave away the rest to someone else in need?
What do you think is better for kids to use in writing workshop: pens or pencils?
In my line of work as a staff developer, I often get the question, "Which do you think is better? Pens or pencils?" I have to start by saying that I don't think… Continue reading

So here I am. My work event starts at 6:30 and it is now 3. I have cleaned, bought snacks, contacted attendees. Now all I have to do is wait for the event itself to start.
This is by far the hardest part. There isn't enough time to really do anything, yet plenty of time to think about it. What if no one comes? What if the projector doesn't work? What if I forgot to put out clean hand towels?
What if no one comes? is the question that really plagues me. I can always double and triple check the projector and towels. But what if I should have made one more contact? Talked to one more person? Reached out to one more family? Would that have made the difference and filled the room?
The secret question within the no-one-coming question is actually more like, what if I am just really bad at my job? But who wants to face a question like that head on? Give me 3.5 hours and I'll find out! So for now I wonder, and wait, and try to focus on the hand towels.

IInaba Rinne appears in the first episode being saved by Todoroki Kakeru and Raibird from Xenon's Touma and his Gobli Force. She becomes the second chosen driver to awaken in the second episode.
Rinne is normally a very sweet and timid girl but will show her aggressive side when irritated with someone and will inflict an Ina Bauer attack, normally on either Kakeru or Michie.
Her wish is to become an olympic skater and she shows her determination by practicing often. Her signature move, Ina Bauer, is also a skating move.
Rinne transferred to the Arcadia school at a young age and met Kakeru outside the entrance. Having caught her attention by asking if someone was lonely without friends, she looked to find him crouching in the grass and actually talking to a wandering ant. The two hit it off as friends and had been close ever since.
Her dream of becoming and Olympic skater was born at a young age. She had almost given up on her dream after being laughed at by her classmates but was reassured by Kakeru who said that she could definitely do it. She later states in the anime that the two people who always supported her dream have been Kakeru and her older brother Inaba Takumi. Takumi was shown encouraging her in another flashback to try jumping again.
Rinne was one of the three drivers to appear in the first episode already staying at the school, along with Kakeru and Michinori, Her first gyrozetter, Prius Alpha, was also present as she was having an underclassman borrow it for test driving.
She is the first driver to receive another gyrozetter when her first, Prius, was being repaired. Dolphine was her second and stayed with her throughout the rest of the series.

While the majority of motorcycle accidents are caused by one or more person's negligent driving, some accidents are caused by defects or dangerous conditions on the roadway. In cases where a Tennessee motorcycle accident is caused by an unsafe road, anyone injured in the accident may pursue claims against the person or entity responsible for maintaining the road. Proving the liability of a government contractor or entity for an accident caused by a dangerous condition presents unique challenges, however, as different laws and standards apply to the government and its contractors than the laws applicable in typical car accident cases.
A Tennessee court recently explained the evidence needed to sustain a claim against the State and a contractor hired by the State to pave a highway, in a case in which a motorcyclist was injured in an accident caused by loose gravel. If you were injured in a Tennessee motorcycle accident that was caused by a dangerous condition on a road or highway, you should consult a seasoned Tennessee motorcycle accident attorney regarding the evidence you need to prove liability for your harm.
Facts Regarding the Accident
Allegedly, the plaintiff was traveling over a portion of a highway maintained by the defendant State, that was recently been paved by the defendant contractor when the plaintiff struck a patch of loose gravel and lost control of his motorcycle. The plaintiff sustained serious injuries in the accident, and subsequently filed a lawsuit against the defendants, alleging they were liable for his injuries due to negligence and defective construction. The defendants filed motions for summary judgment, arguing that the plaintiff couldn't produce evidence showing that the gravel was from the defendant contractor's paving project, or that either defendant had notice of the allegedly dangerous condition prior to the accident. Further, the defendant contractor argued that the State Construction Projects Liability Act precluded liability. The trial court granted the defendants' motions and the plaintiff appealed.

A few days ago, I wrote a contemplative post, wondering how much I might be catastrophizing my own pain and giving it more attention than it needed. Ironically, I was in some intense pain when I wrote that after being advised repeatedly to use mind over body and ignore the pain.
Yesterday, I was in the same spot again, but ultimately broke down and took my pain medication. A few hours later, I noticed that it had taken the edge off the pain. It was now down to a level I could live with. And it was then that it hit me! I am already using all kinds of mind over body tactics to keep myself active and moving and involved with life. If it is only after taking the "emergency pain pill" and extra muscle relaxers that the pain is down to a manageable level – not gone, mind you – then how much worse must it have been before?
I would never treat anybody else in that kind of pain with as much insensitivity as I treated myself. So why did I treat myself like that? I would never disbelieve another person if they expressed that much pain. I would never ask them to just not pay attention to it or act like they are making it out to be worse than it truly is. So why did I disbelieve my own pain and wonder if I am catastrophizing?
I think part of the reason is that, as a scientist, I am loathed to take subjective data at face value. And pain levels are just that! Even so, I feel like I often view my own situation with objective lenses from time to time, so there is no real reason for me to invalidate subjective data coming from myself. There is no prior evidence of me acting like a baby or engaging in extended pity fests. If anything, I am always extra tough on myself. And now, my naturally harsh inner critic seems to have internalized things others say or views of chronic pain patients that the society holds, and is belittling me for admitting when the pain gets out of hand. And as an objective observer of myself, I can see that this is akin to re-victimizing the victim for an event they could not control.
As a person who has counseled child abuse and domestic violence victims, I couldn't dream of saying anything that would make their pain feel invalidated. I have always encouraged them to admit their own anguish – if only to themselves – so they can work through it. And I must treat myself the same way.
In many ways, I feel the pain has robbed me of my youth, my dreams, my spontaneous adventurous nature. And that kind of pain and anguish is difficult to ignore. Both physically and emotionally. And I need to be OK with admitting that to myself. Not suppress it or call myself a whiney-baby for feeling it. I wouldn't say that to a friend, if we had swapped places. So why should I say it to myself?
Ultimately, nobody can know my body as well as I do. So I need to take a stand for it when it needs me to. If I wouldn't doubt the validity of a friend's complaints who was in my place, I shouldn't doubt my body's either. I need to turn off the inner critic and take care of myself as I would a dear friend. I have never listened to "society" or "other people" when I have cared for or counseled my friends in difficult positions. And I shouldn't allow society or people to influence how I treat myself either.
It has been a long journey for me, discovering self-compassion. I started it a long time ago when caring for my inner child overcoming various unpleasant repressed memories. I may have gone off-track for a while. But I am grateful for the turn of events that has brought me back!

People always love to travel to different places and explore new things. But, a common person can travel only inside the world, that only if has enough money to do so….But, scientifically there are many places even at present date, where a man can't reach because we are not advanced enough to do so. The greatest achievement till now is travelling to moon. It is the greatest achievement in terms of travelling we have achieved scientifically.
But, moon is not the ultimate destination. There are many destination that still humans wants to go and many organizations are working on it for achieving it. Some of them are….
Intergalactic travel is the travel between galaxies. Due to the enormous distances between our own galaxy the Milky Way and even its closest neighbors
Time travel — moving between different points in time — has been a popular topic for science fiction for decades. The reality, however, is more muddled. Not all scientists believe that time travel is possible. Some even say that an attempt would be fatal for any human who chooses to undertake it. But, I hope that it will be possible in future.
One very prominent mind twister in both science fiction and real-life science is the concept of parallel universes. This is hardly surprising, since the idea of multiple copies of yourself existing at the same time is both existentially disturbing and thrilling. The idea of a multiverse is not considered a scientific fiction but rather a scientific theory pit forward by Ethan Segal of forbes which claims travelling to parallel universe is possible. However, he also can't prove it experimentally.
Travel to higher dimensions means travelling to universe which have more than 3 dimensions. But till now, nobody can find the proof of existence of such type of universe. What will be the 4th or may be 5th dimension…any guess?

Famed for his cocky attitude and womanizing lifestyle, Baal likes to make his own rules. But being the most powerful demon in Hades' army comes with a steep price. Namely, a command to mate with the human he is bound to protect. When the lord of the Underworld reveals the female's true identity, Baal vows he will never love her. Even though she may destroy him, he soon discovers it's a promise he might not be able to keep.
When her sibling goes missing, Ranata finds herself at the mercy of those who intend to make her Hell's next sacrifice. With the world embraced in the wrath of a power-hungry demigod, and a sister now in his clutches, she discovers she is not fully human and now must face the biggest challenge of her life. Mating a demon is an insane idea, but she will do anything to save her sister. Falling in love with him might be even crazier.
Publisher: Valerie Twombly
Cover Artists:
Here is a series that, unbelievably, keeps getting better and better. Valerie Twombly gives us characters that you can't help but love. Despite being demons, angels, Gods, Demi-Gods, Fae, etc. they are presented with a humanity and scope of emotion that feels real and will suck you in. Be prepared to laugh, cry, hurt and hate right along side Baal, Chaval, Lucan, Ranata and even Hades. In a world gone mad, they are the only hope of salvation. I highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys Gena Showalter and Jeaniene Frost.

Welcome from the Pastor
Welcome to Faith Bible Chapel! We are a group of Christians committed to loving God and loving others in Jesus' name. The central focus of FBC is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. If you are seeking answers to life's questions, seeking comfort from sorrows, seeking pardon from guilt, and forgiveness from sin - your answer is Jesus Christ and the Gospel of His grace! And that is what FBC is all about. The deepest longing of the human heart is to be happy. And the deepest, most abiding happiness is found in Him. Each person's primary duty in life is to live for God's glory. But the Gospel declares that your greatest
, and your greatest
are one and the same: to know and love the living God! The cross of Christ makes that possible!
If you are a Christian seeking a new church home - come check us out. We are an autonomous, non-denominational, evangelical Bible Church. In everything that we teach and practice, we seek to be Bible-saturated! As a church, we emphasize two things:
1) Being a church that is "full of grace and truth," (John 1:14)
2) Being a church that is "united in spirit...striving together for the faith of the Gospel" (Phil. 1:27).
Come visit us! We'd love to welcome you on a Sunday morning!
Pastor Dave Golden

The Way Is Half Shut
It would be easy to say
the wind pushed it.
"Not me."
The pressure, ever so slight
its wooden flap
too old for stability,
easily gave in.
In this world of mine,
ravens squeal,
pigs squawk,
and things that would craw
walk upright
where they now belong.
And when the sun shines irregular
against windowed buildings, illuminating
that once traveled path,
I will say you are in a cave
in an allegory
and you are only staring at a wall.
