Ten Days of Giving to Horizons
I have been a Brand Ambassador for Keds for 2 years, now, and I truly love working with them. First of all, I love any brand whose motto is "Ladies First" because not enough companies live by that rule. Since we began working together, they have been true partners in my work with Horizons. They were part of last year's 10 Days of Giving, and they continue to be involved with Horizons in many ways.
Each pair of Keds costs roughly $65, so we're giving them to you guys for a discounted price in thanks for your donation. You can still pick exactly what you would like from the website. Have fun with it.
There are so many different styles of Keds, which is one of the reasons I love the brand. Self-expression is an important way to access and express one's identity, and Keds has certainly been a wonderful tool for that in my own life. With a simple shoe choice, you can feel a little more grounded and powerful as you move throughout your day. Please enjoy, and please donate! Pace yourselves, though… this is only day one.
Love, Allison
The first 200 donors who give $50 will receive a promo code for a free pair of Keds on Keds.com. Promo codes will be emailed with 48 hours of your purchase.
Keds started designing sneakers for women in 1916 with a simple, yet chic take on canvas footwear. Our goal was and still is to empower women to be who they want to be and go where they want to go. Here's to putting #LadiesFirst for the next 100 years.

On Saturday 14th September The Weavers Hall in Thomas Street-the oldest continuously occupied dwelling in Cirencester opened its doors from 10.30 to 12noon- restricted access. The Friends Meeting House also in Thomas Street displayed a range of historic furniture and a local expert Dr. Bill Cotton was there to describe the items. The Mansion Gates were open and the Town Band played outside from 11.00-12 noon on Saturday 14th September. A new walk to explore some of the historic landscape in Cirencester Park took place on Saturday as did a Civil War walk.

CrapHouse on
Fri October 26, 2018 10:29:15 am]
One of the cement steps that leads up to the second floor is loose, and wobbles when one steps on it! It must be secured. This house is in bad disrepair. Take notice--the newly installed white aluminum awning atop the porch is narrower than the width of the porch. This can be seen in all photos of the home. When it rains, the water flows down to the first floor...because the white awning should have been made wider.

Join us this school term.
I'm a VIP! When you hear this term, you think Very Important Person...
We are always interested in sharing information with others.
It is not enough to have a mere profession of faith. Many people walk down the aisle during a salvation altar call to thunderous applause and rejoicing at the prospect of a soul being saved from the wrath of God. Unfortunately, there are times that these individuals simply profess a faith in Christ but truly do not believe or are not later built up in the Word of God and as a result they eventually spiral towards or commit apostasy. Recent examples in the news of known "believers" abandoning the faith (apostasy) demonstrate that.

Thank you for joining us.
The Picture collage shows His Excellency, President E.D Mnangagwa delivering the Keynote address at the ground breaking ceremony for the New Parliament Building in Mt. Hampden while the top table listens attentively.
Thanked the President for being a practical leader who is living up to his promise. Thanked the Chinese for the construction of such an important building. Expressed gratitude to all dignitaries who graced the occasion and lastly thanked the organizers for organizing such a successful function.
Deemed it a great to give vote of thanks. Zimbabweans are grateful for the construction of this important building where important democratic practices takes place. It is only befitting that such building should have ambiance befitting the legislators role, as one of the Three Arms of the State.
VP Mohadi to give the vote of thanks.
The President is now performing the ground breaking ceremony at the new Parliament building.
Hotels, Banks and shopping malls are going to be constructed in and around the new building. He appealed to private sector to take advantage and invest bit if they sleep others will take over from them. He urged all the traditional leaders to carry out the necessary rituals. Where Government is now building with the other arms of government. The creation of a city to be admired by others calls for the inclusion of architectural designs that incorporates our rich cultural and national heritage. Declared the construction site officially commissioned.
The legislative structure construction is the first building project to be undertaken in this location which will eventually see all the Three Arms of State relocating to Mt Hampden.
Chinese are hardworking people,whose work ethics allows half of their workforce to sleep while the other half works. It is hope that our Zimbabwean architects and engineers are alive to the fact that we are in a hurry to catch up with the Region and the rest of the world. Zimbabwe is geared towards the attainment of a top middle class income economy by 2030.
Infrastructural developments are now taking place, Zimbabwe is now road linked and and not landlocked. Unfair criticism made on Zimbabwe by the western countries is uncalled for because some western countries also come to China to ask for loans. Reminded Members of Parliament (MPs) both present and absent that hard work and diligence is an admirable trait. Exhorted MPs that the law should facilitate and promote development. MPs must truly represent the people. He called upon the public to hold their MPs accountable to the people in discharging their duties.
We are having this day because of my last state visit to China, our discussion with His Excellency Xiaoping we raised our relationship to a strategic level. He put aside the non payment of Zimbabwe's debt. China put aside $1.7 billion was put aside for Hwange 7 and 8 and work is going on well. Net One, RG Mugabe airport and the construction of a magnificent Parliament building has been made possible our friends. We are ashamed that in the midst of it all we did not make efforts to repay our debt. We now have a new dispensation which is the game changer and we will repay our debts going forward.
His Excellency's remarks
Delighted to officiate at this ground breaking ceremony and laying of the foundation stone for the New Parliament building. This act marks the commencement of the construction of the New Parliament building whose details have been aptly described by the President of Senate.
He invited His Excellency to the podium to give his speech.
Not only is Zimbabwe open for business but it is now open for dialogueand you have now come to lay the foundatio of the home for talks and debates-Parliament.
A narration of H.E's life of struggle and how he missed the hangman's noose by a whisker because he was under age.
Parliament is an important institution it should not be lost to the whole world that our friends during the liberation struggle who equipped our struggle now builds our Parliament.
Vice President Rtd Gen. Dr C.G.N. Chiwenga is called upon to introduce the Guest of Honor. VP Chiwenga's remarks: On this very important event, where I have called upon to introduce the Guest of Honor it is not lost to me that we have a good existing relationship with the Chinese. Harmonized elections ushered the new Republic led by the Guest of Honor. A new structure will be built on this hill with the grant made possible by the Chinese.
Grateful to the Chinese for providing the funding as well as undertaking the actual construction of the New Parliament Building being undertaken by Shanghai Construction Group.
Hon Chinomona's remarks:
On behalf of the Speaker of the National Assembly, MPs and staff, we express our gratitude for the construction of the new Parliament Building. This comes at a time when the current building is now archaic and causing hardships on both internal and external users. It is high time a new building is built.This is befitting since MPs have now come up with a new vision. Parliament has these problems of road congestion, congested houses during events such as the State of the Nation Address, National Budget and Official Opening of Parliament. MPs now flout the rules by double parking. Section 141 cannot be fulfilled because of lack of rooms for stakeholders. Parliament is grateful that the President has now hit the ground running, members vision of achieving world class Parliament can now be realised. It is hoped that the legislators can now do their work unconstrained.
Under the Forcac summit China has agreed to give financial support in eight project areas to Africa worth 60 billion dollars. Opportunities should be grabbed with both hands as His Excellency has always said. The Ease of Doing Business to get on board the Chinese train in order to achieve success. Action and more action is required. He took the opportunity to congratulate the President and people of Zimbabwe for the construction of the new Parliament Building.
China has enjoyed significant development during the past four decades and is now second largest economy. Zimbabwe is also a beneficiary of the Chinese Zimbabwean Partnership, which is growing from strength to strength. Government of China made special arrangements to release 1.5 billion dollars for the upgrade of the Robert Mugabe International Airport and the construction of Hwange Thermal Power Station's generators 7 and 8 power expansion programme.
Chinese Ambassador:
It is a pleasure to attend the ground breaking ceremony, congratulates His Excellency the President Cde ED Mnangagwa and people of Zimbabwe, for the construction of the six storey building. Hopes the construction will last 32 months. The construction of the New Parliament marks the construction of the New City of Harare. Zimbabwe will become a major beacon in Southern Africa as it is ably led by President E.D. Mnangagwa. The ground breaking ceremony comes on the heels of the launching of the Arcadia Lithium Mine in Goromonzi on Monday.

Minister of Finance has budgeted funding for the construction which is envisaged to be completed in 30 months will give the MPs a conducive working environment.
Minister Moyo desdcribed today's event as an auspicious occasion where the ground breaking ceremony is in line with the nation's vision to implement and sustain infrastructural development.
The Permanent Secretary for Local Government, Public Works and National Housing, Mr George Magosvongo in his welcome remarks introduced the two Vice Presidents, President of Senate, MPs Chinese Ambassador's representative and Head of Delegation, Minister of Local Government Hon July Moyo, several ministers, Minister of State for Mashonaland West, Hon M.

For most of us, we don't feel like we have enough time in the day as it is, because we are so busy putting out fires and reacting to life. If you want to make lasting changes to your health or your fitness, you've got to change this mindset.
While there aren't many things in life you can truly control, your mindset happens to be one of them. When you don't plan ahead, you spend all your time reacting to things that just seem to pop up.
Constantly reacting to life is exhausting, and it can really screw with our ability to make gains on our fitness goals.
One way you can feel confident and ready to tackle your goals is by setting yourself up to win with systems. One of those systems is all about managing your time.
Time blocking: how this apply to the 'everyday' woman.
About a year ago I started using a system for setting up my schedule known as time blocking. Essentially when you implement time blocking you're putting 'like' activities together. It might seem like a silly way to organize your day, but it works–both in my coaching business and in my personal life.
By sticking 'like' activities together I'm not constantly switching from one type of task to another. This saves my brain so much time and energy. I feel less stressed, and I'm getting way more done in a day than I'd ever imagine.
For example: I like to cluster my meal planning and grocery shopping back to back. Or I will usually get my workout in for the day, and have a super smoothie shortly after. Maybe I'll put all of my home responsibilities into a pocket of time on a Saturday.
One thing to keep in mind though, is you really only need to aim to get three key things done in a day to drive you closer to your fitness goals (or any other goal for that matter).
If you try to do too much at one time, you will only be setting yourself up for overwhelm and burn out. And the diet cycle starts over again.
If you're not quite sure how to go about establishing your priorities, we talked about setting your priorities and scheduling those things first a couple weeks ago. (link to other blog/video)
Set yourself up to win
I wish I would have been a bit more organized when I started my fitness journey over a decade ago. Honestly, I just kind of started and figured things out along the way. This worked ok, but I could have saved so much time and energy if I would have had certain systems in place then like I do now.
It's no secret, we wear lots of hats as women, and sometimes it can be hard to transition from one role to the next. This is especially true if we don't have any clear rhythms or boundaries to our days.
Pick just one to focus on at a time. And give your energy to that one thing until it starts to feel more automatic and like a seamless part to your day. For me, moving my body has become as natural as brushing my teeth, but it's taken time to get to this place.
We often underestimate what we can accomplish in a year, and way overestimate what we can do in a day.
With a renewed and refreshed mindset toward your goals. Take the long, slow journey. This is definitely the road less traveled, but it is a sure fire way to create a healthy and fit lifestyle that is uniquely yours.

On Tuesday it will be 4 whole years since my lovely Don was killed by gross medical negligence. I am trying so hard not to be sad and most of the time am doing well, but no matter how many people I have in my life and no matter how busy i am it is dreadfully lonely without him.
I figured out some time back apart from the love and all that stuff it is the fun we had together - all four of us. Just the flick of a tongue dripping with sarcasm would have us rolling about and Don was the Master. About 2 years ago the girls and I did another home video -a brrrrilliant send up of some pompous bastards it is our misfortune to know - something we had done on many occasions with don before - we were amazed to find we hadn't lost our touch and we laughed ourselves silly and hurt our throats at the outcome - a masterpiece. But Don was the star in so many home videos - Melissa, Alison and I were so pleased that we still had the touch - and we admitted to each other that we had been worried we couldn't do it without Don's being there.
When you lose the love of your life - (and I have to say I was so lucky to have found him - some people never do) it is hard to accept that in this life you will never see the eyeshine, hear the voice and be held in love the way you were. We are a loyal lot in our family - marriages generally make it and we have ourselves gone through some really bad times when we almost walked away - but we didn't and am so glad now.
It was on this day that the bastards admitted Don was dying . Something he had known for five long weeks of pain, indignity, downright cruelty and filth - and may I add no small amount of very lucrative research - (and I do know this for sure). Its so hard not to hate them for what they did, for what they covered up, for their lies and brutality - and I don't hate them - I don't even remember what most of them look like and have blocked that all out I feel. I hate what they did and are still no doubt doing to other poor frail vulnerable people - because nothing has changed.
I tried to change things and maybe one person who mistreated Don may have got the message - but unless I get the message to those who investigate and until they accept that they are not doing their job - what was done to my husband will happen over and over. There are those doctors like Patel and the Butcher of Bega - who finally get caught not because of the system but in spite of it - but I know from the figures they are just a few of the many - in every major town there are doctors like Patel and Reeves. There is one in this area who just gets shifted sideways when he butchers someone and then three or so years later he is back. Also I accept how hard it is for those who do whistle-blow to stay in their jobs because their peers make it almost impossible and they usually leave and work in other industries.
I have TAFE on the day and its a long day so I won't be sitting here working myself up to be miserable - but I will honour my wonderful man in the way I do - with a candle and some of the flowers he caused to be planted.

Enterprise (ENT) Episode 3
"Fight or Flight"
I'm re-watching Star Trek in this chronological order. There will be spoilers! For a synopsis and more information on this episode I strongly recommend Memory Alpha!
"You've seen too many science-fiction movies" – Captain Archer to Lt. Reed, when the latter is taking an arsenal of weapons to the unknown starship.
In short: Exploration is getting boring after two weeks without anything special happening. This changes when the crew of Enterprise detects a ship dead in space on which they find some dead aliens. Captain Archer decides to find out more about the dead and their culture. A while later the killers of the dead crew are coming in and immobilize Enterprise when the friends of the dead crew show up. Hoshi safes the day by translating the language of the dead people and organize some help by their friends.
In chronological order this is the first deep space exploration episode.
Thoughts and Opinions:
I really liked the way the episode is getting started slowly. The first act gives a good impression of how people are spending their time on an exploration vessel when there is no immediate crisis to deal with. We learn, that Reed is a perfectionist and a little too eager, while Hoshi is constantly assailed be her self-doubts.
In essence I think the episode is build around the concept of having doubts. In the overall atmosphere it's a seamless continuation of the pilot double-episode. A great thing for a new series in my opinion. It's just two weeks after the Suliban incident and the start of an new era for mankind, so its understandable that the crew members are questioning themselves. Even the Captain is trying to find the balance between doing the right thing from a professional point of view on one side, and the moral implications on the other side.
Still I wonder if I would have kept Hoshi around aboard the ship after her participations on the away missions. Of course she behaves all too human, but as a captain you really need a senior officer on the bridge who you can trust in crucial situations.
After watching the pilot I wanted to go deeper into the universe and I really enjoyed this episode int his rewatch as much as the first time I watched it.
I give it 4,5 out of 5, because in my opinion it captures the spirit of Star Trek pretty good. Exploration, moral implications and self-doubts are all interesting concepts to explore and I hope for more in the next episodes.
What do you think about the episode? Would you keep Hoshi around even after her unprofessional behavior? What would you have done after finding the ship full of corpses drifting dead in space?
Tell me in the comments.

NOTE: This is an old post – from 2011. I thought it was lost forever, and was pretty stoked to run across a Live Writer back-up of it, so here it is. (There is also a old follow up post to this one… coming soon!)
With (sprint distance) triathlon attempt #2 approaching at break-neck speed, I thought it appropriate to give my first Tri attempt a brief revisit, and then light it on fire and toss it into the get-over-it-already files for good.
So, it was about a year ago that my friend Jenn and I first decided we should do a triathlon together. Sounded like a fantastic idea, if not a sure-fire way to get super-fit and skinny (LOL!) So, we picked a really cool one near Denver, and then found various training plans online that we tried to more or less follow. What could possibly go wrong?
Here's the breakdown:
SWIM. As soon as I entered the water — in the exact second my chest touched the really cold water — my breath left my body in a big hurry, not to return for hours later. After a few unsuccessful attempts to breathe, I decide to try to swim anyway. Here's where I discover that I can't see a damn thing, even with my goggles on! The water is choppy, and cloudy, and freaking cold. There are feet hitting me in the face. I look around, and people are swimming with their heads out of the water! (This is the back of the pack, mind you.) Well guess what? I didn't practice swimming like that. I immediately forget everything I thought I knew about swimming (which is not that much anyway). Every time I put my head in the water and tried to swim the stroke, the fact that I can't see a thing or catch a breath completely freaks me out. I ended up doing the backstroke, or some weird frog-style doggie paddle through most of it. A half mile never felt so long. The swim took me about 2 times longer than planned. At one point, I remember being really grateful that I had the super-dorky yellow swim cap on, in case I needed to be fished out of the water. Jenn actually circled back to find me just leaving the water after she had waited… and waited… and waited at the transition area. As we made it back to our bikes, I thought I heard her say something like, "what in the hell is wrong with her?" I could be wrong, though.
BIKE: This is the easy part, right? Save some legs for the run, right? Did I mention this is Colorado? Aurora, Colorado? It's in the MOUNTAINS. When they say "rolling course", or "fun, challenging hills", they mean BIG FKING MOUNTAINS! Holy shit! I think there were 12 big-ass hills. I don't know why we didn't expect that, but we didn't. (Side note: All my training and living up to this point happens to have occurred at sea-level. My "hill" in Houston is where the Braeswood bike trail goes underneath Stella Link.) About half-way up the first hill, I remember saying something like "I don't think I can do this." And I think I heard Jenn say something like "Don't make me kill you"… I could be wrong, though.
We managed all the hills, but it was really hard. We'd get to the top up one f-bomb inducing hill, only to get a glimpse of the next 3 bigger, nastier hills in our very near future. My honest assessment: that segment really @&$%#$ sucked. About 3 hills to the end, I decided to try to save some leg muscle, and shifted into a (lower/higher/different?) gear, which was easier on my poor aching quads, but was basically as speedy as riding a stationary bike up the hill. I lost Jenn, so she kicked my ass on this leg, too.
RUN: Ok, this is my part. I'm a runner, right? Legs are shredded. Haven't had a decent breath in what seems like days. I can't find our playlist on my #@!&*$ ipod. Here, thankfully, we kind of sucked equally, at least in the beginning. At the first hill, we both decided that we were going to walk all hills. There were really way more hills than necessary. Just when we thought we were about 75 yards to the finish –- a quick trip through the transition area and then just a little further — we were instead pointed up yet another hill and around a corner (so maybe 120 yards to finish)… and that's when I started hyper-ventilating! I mean, seriously wheezing and gasping for breath! This wheezing business was all new stuff for me, and it completely scared the crap out of me, which of course made me wheeze and gasp some more. There we both stood, finish line in sight, watching me die. Luckily, Jenn had her asthma inhaler on her, so she hit me with a puff off that thing, and soon we were on our way again. As we got close to the finish line, I thought I heard Jenn say something like "Outta my way, short stuff… you're blocking my good side!" I could be wrong, though. (But you be the judge!)
(This is actually a picture of Jenn crossing the finish line. If you look closely, you can see me… or at least an arm… coming up behind. Left in the dust! )
We did have fun… but oh, it was hard! The next one has to go better, right?

Travelers have marvelled at Egypt's archaeological wonders for centuries, ever since the Ancient Greeks visited the pyramids. Today, the ancient wonders attract millions of tourists each year to the pyramids, temples, mosques and great monuments of the Nile Valley, as well as the stunning diving resorts of the Red Sea.
Known as the greatest city in the Islamic world, Cairo's ancient monuments and medieval customs thrive in a cosmopolitan, modern city. A blend of Arab, African and European influences, Africa's largest city has a population of at least 18 million. Situated on the Nile, the city is polluted and overcrowded, and getting around poses many challenges, although it has greatly improved with the ever-expanding underground Metro system.
In Islamic (or Medieval) Cairo, narrow congested streets are filled with donkey carts, spice traders and imposing mosques. A central landmark is Midan Hussain, a large open square with tea houses around the perimeter, and dominated by the sacred Mosque of Sayyidna Al-Hussain. Adjacent is the famous Khan-el Khalili, one of the world's largest bazaars, pulsing with commerce and crammed with spices, coppersmiths, perfume and trinkets. Bargaining has been a way of life in these alleyways since the late 14th century and it is easy to get taken in by silver-tongued salesmen. Here, Fishawi's tea house has been in business for over 200 years, and is still a great people-watching venue.
Nearby is Al-Azhar Mosque, containing the oldest university in the world (AD 970). The pre-Ottoman Madrassa and Mausoleum of Al-Ghouri, has Sufi dancing, and opposite is Wakala of Al-Ghouri, an attractively preserved cultural centre. Exhibits in the Museum of Islamic Art bring Islamic Cairo to life, with arts, ceramics, mosaics and calligraphy.
The Citadel was home to Egypt's rulers for 700 years; an imposing medieval fortress offering sweeping views of the city. Within it is the Midan Salah al-Din with the unmissable Sultan Hassan and Rifai Mosques. The Mohammad Ali Mosque has classic Ottoman minarets and interior. Within the Citadel, other attractions include the Military National Museum, Al-Gawhara Palace and Museum and the National Police Museum.
City of the Dead (Northern Cemetery) is a Mamluk necropolis with hundreds of thousands of tombs dating from the 12th century. Many thousands more live here in something resembling a shanty town amongst the ornate mausoleums.
Sharia Talat Harb Street and Midan Tahrir (Liberation Square) are typical of the more modern, commercial centre of Cairo – filled with concrete and cars, and containing countless hotels, restaurants, office blocks and museums. Here is one of the country's greatest attractions; the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities housing over 130,000 exhibits, including Pharaonic and Byzantine art and sculpture, the Mummy Room and the celebrated Tutankhamun exhibition. Behind the museum, bridges cross the Nile, and riverside walks along the corniche bring some relief from traffic. Here, river taxis travel to local docks, and feluccas (sail boats) are available for private trips.
The south is home to the Coptic Orthodox Christians, forming 10 per cent of the population. Originally a Roman fortress town called Babylon, it was greatly significant to early Christians. Here, the Coptic Museum has exhibits from AD 300 to AD 1000, in the world's greatest collection of Coptic art. The Hanging Church, Monastery of St George and the churches of St Sergius and St Barbara are all in the same area. The Ben Ezra Synagogue is one of the oldest in Egypt, and represents the remains of the Jewish community.
The small island of Gezira is a modern upmarket area with the Opera House (a US$30 million arts complex) containing the Museum of Modern Art, and the Cairo Tower with great city views. The adjacent neighbourhood of Zamalek contains elegant town houses and embassies. On the southwest outskirts of the city is Giza with Cairo Zoo and the University. But Cairo is most famous for the Great Pyramids, Egypt's most visited monuments. Of the three main pyramids (Cheops, Chephren and Mycerinus), the largest is 137m (449ft) high and contains some three million blocks of stone. Exploring the interiors is possible via labyrinthine tunnels and staircases. Adjacent is the bewitching Sphinx, as named by the ancient Greeks, with the head of a woman and body of a lion. Erosion was partly rectified by restoration, which finished in 1998. Early morning and late afternoon are a little less crowded, and every evening there are son et lumière - extravagant light shows telling the story of ancient Egypt. Camels, horses and donkeys can be hired to explore the site.
Beyond Cairo
There are more ancient tombs and pyramids outside the city - more difficult to get to but much less crowded. There are remains of the Old Kingdom's capital Memphis; the necropolis at Saqqara, with the Step Pyramid older than those at Giza, with well-preserved wall reliefs and royal tombs. Dahshur has only been open to foreigners since 1996, and is famous for its Bent Pyramid and a huge field of royal tombs.
In contrast to ancient sights, the Camel Market (Souq al-Gamaal), is held every morning at Birqash, around 35km (21 miles) from the city, located on the edge of the Western Desert. Hundreds of camels are sold daily, most having been brought from Sudan.
Egypt's six oases can provide relief from cities. All have accommodation and can be accessed by public transport. The desert forms 94 per cent of the country's area, yet only 1 per cent of the population lives in it. The largest and most developed oasis is Kharga, with a Berber community, temples and museums. Dhakla Oasis has hot springs, and camel rides over the sand dunes. The nearby village of Bashandi sells handicrafts made by local girls. The smallest is Farafra, an ancient fort town; Bahariyya is made up of several small villages, famed for its olives and dates. Al-Faiyum Oasis is 100km (60 miles) southwest of Cairo, and the area contains small pyramids, the old city of Karanis, and temples. Siwa is the furthest west and remote, but the most picturesque and idyllic. The community is traditional and Berber-speaking.

Danny Garcia vs. Brandon Rios – Results
By Dan Ambrose: Danny 'Swift' Garcia (34-1, 20 KOs) bounced back nicely from his previous defeat last year to destroy former lightweight belt holder Brandon 'Bam Bam' Rios (34-4-1, 25 KOs) by a vicious 1-punch knockout in the 9th round on Saturday night in a World Boxing Council welterweight title eliminator at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
(Photo credit: Stephanie Trapp/SHOWTIME)
Rios got back to his feet after the knockdown, but he was too hurt for the referee Kenny Bayless to allow the fight to be continued. The badly hurt Rios had to be helped back to his corner by Robert Garcia. Rios was out of it. That right hand that hit him in the head was a perfect punch by Garcia, who has power when he sits down on his punches. He's not the class of Errol Spence in the power department, but he can punch well for the 147 lb. weight class. The right hand that Garcia landed would have knocked out a lot of fighters in the division. It took Garcia 9 rounds to land it though. If Garcia had fought Spence or Shawn Porter tonight, he might not have been still around by the 9th round even if all he did was run and hold.
The Garcia-Rios fight was televised on Showtime Boxing.
After the fight, #1 WBC contender Shawn Porter jumped into the ring and tried calling out Garcia, who has shown zero interest in wanting to fight him for some reason. The chances of Garcia fighting Porter are about zero. It's not happening. Garcia wants to take easy fights until he gets his rematch with Keith Thurman. Showtime interviewer Jim Gray didn't seem to like the idea of Porter calling Garcia out.
This was a showcase fight for Garcia like the previous show (mismatch) fights we've seen from him against the likes of Rod Salka, Samuel Vargas, Robert Guerrero, Paulie Malignaggi, Lamont Peterson, and Mauricio Herrera. Garcia's management is very good to him by putting him in with those type of fighters and not matching him against the talented guys like Shawn Porter and Errol Spence Jr.
Garcia set the very slow Rios up with a perfect right hand counter that knocked Rios down on his back in the 9th. Rios was badly hurt. Referee Kenny Bayless stopped the fight and that was it for Rios.
Garcia was matched up with Rios to get the rust out from 11 months of inactivity. Unfortunately, you can argue Rios, 31, was brought in to lose in the way he did in order to make Garcia look good, and he definitely impress. The fight was a boxing clinic for Garcia with him moving constantly, nailing Rios with clean head and body shots, and tying him up to prevent him from getting his shots off. Much of the time, Rios would smother his own work by crowding Garcia and throwing punching from too close for him to get any real power on them.
Garcia landed 188 of 614 shots for a connect percentage of 31 percent. Those weren't great numbers, but it reflects that many of the punches Garcia threw were with him being on the move. Garcia was rarely standing in place for any length of time against Rios, even though he could have easily stood and slugged it out without getting hurt. Rios was too slow and weak to do any damage to Garcia.
It's been 7 years since Rios moved up in weight from the lightweight division, and he never carried his power up with him. He's not a puncher at 140 or 147. He's just a slow pressure fighter with the power of a lightweight with average power. There are some lightweights that can punch like Mikey Garcia. Rios never had that kind of power. Rios landed 109 of 605 shots for a connect percentage of 18. Rios threw almost as many punches as Garcia did, and that was mainly because he was constantly walking him down matching him punch for punch. Rios' shots weren't connecting with the same accuracy as Garcia unfortunately.
Rios was waking Garcia down the entire fight and eat shots and getting tied up. The referee Kenny Bayless was there in body only tonight. He wasn't into enforcing the excessive clinching rule. Bayless let Garcia get away with his holding all night long without warning him to stop. Rios wasn't even trying to fight out of the clinch, and that made Garcia hold even more. Good welterweights like Errol Spence Jr. and Shawn Porter aren't easy to clinch excessively because they throw punches while they're being held. If Garcia ever fought either of those guys, which is extremely to ever happen, he would be getting hit hard each time he tried to tie them up. But against Rios tonight, Garcia was able to hold him as much as he wanted without having to worry about him fighting through the clinch and continuing to throw punches.
Regardless of how bad he was over-matched, Rios fought well in rounds 5 and 6, and he appeared to fight well enough to win at least one of those rounds. As you would guess, Rios, 31, was not happy with all the holding and low blows that Garcia was doing in the fight. Garcia was throwing shots just below Rios' gold belt line, and he was able to get away with it because referee Kenny Bayless wasn't doing anything about it. Rios started roughing Garcia up out of frustration in the 5th and 6th rounds. This led to Garcia using more movement and more holding than he'd done previously. It wasn't fun to watch for the boxing fans at the Mandalay Bay, as a lot of the fans were booing the lack of action.
Garcia boxed expertly in jabbing and countering Rios on the move. Rios landed some good shots in the 6th round, but he was walking into punches all night long.
Garcia says he wants a rematch with Keith Thurman. It'll be up to Thurman if he wants to make that rematch this year. Thurman has been saying that he plans on fighting opposition ranked from 5 to beyond 10 in his two fights in 2018. He doesn't want to fight a top contender because he's coming off of elbow surgery. Garcia has been making comments about how he only lost to Thurman on paper in their fight last March, which was won by Thurman by a 12 round decision.

Adolfo Bioy Casares's story "The Celestial Plot" (1948) is among the best known examples of Latin American science fiction writing of the early twentieth century inspired by contemporary advances in quantum physics. Most readings of the story focus on the movements of its main protagonist, Captain Ireneo Morris, as he traverses realities while test-flying a plane. This approach overlooks the role of the story's other protagonist, Dr. Carlos Servian, who, we argue, is the lynchpin upon which the multiple realities are dependent. We read the changes to Dr. Servian's character from a variety of scientific and philosophical perspectives on parallel universes. By addressing variations in Servian's character and language, and focusing on the disparate representations of the key objects in the story, we show how the story anticipates in some ways the Many Worlds notion which argues that reality bifurcates during quantum measurements, leading to near-identical copies of observers.
Two works focusing on the corporeality of grief, The Logbook of a Merciless Year by Connie Palmen and the theatre text Requiem for a Metamorphosis by Jan Fabre, are explored alongside Merleau-Ponty's ontology for their way to transform personal grief, characterized by identity crisis and spatiotemporal disorientation, into an act of remembering. The two works are approached as fictions of the body in pain, enacting grief like body art pieces in order to make pre-reflective sense of it. Pain becomes an agent, allowing the authors to open up by transforming their introvert portraits of grief into corporeal landscapes, characterized by a temporality of stillness/movement. Based on Merleau-Ponty's notions of simultaneity and institution, this essay demonstrates how movement allows a spatiotemporal opening so that memory may be enacted from the point of view of the present upon all temporal moments. Therefore, grievers reinvent themselves in their works, as those who enact memory.
Although many SF texts proceed from the speculative premise that our species will continue to develop technologically, and hence become increasingly posthuman, our species' continuance into even the next century is by no means assured. Rather, the Anthropocene exerts a new temporal logic; it is an age defined by an intensification of geological timescales. It is therefore noteworthy that many contemporary SF texts are ecologically interventionist and figure apocalyptic future temporalities which curtail the posthuman predilection common to the genre. This article analyses a tetrad of literary texts, written at various points during the last three decades, which summatively reveal the mutations of the (post)human temporalities figured by cli-fi texts. These four texts are: Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy (1992-1996); Jeanette Winterson's The Stone Gods (2007); Michel Faber's The Book of Strange New Things (2014); and Paolo Bacigalupi's The Water Knife (2015).
In this article, I engage with the present-tense narration in Anne Enright's novel, The Gathering. The narrator, Veronica Hegarty, is tasked with assembling her family for a wake after the suicide of her closest brother Liam. What his death unleashes in her is a compulsion to write down an "uncertain event," which may or "may not have happened," in which Liam was sexually assaulted as a child. The narrative suggests that Veronica witnessed this "event" and, in line with the aporetic nature of traumatic experience, did not register it as such. The narrative temporal strategy, as this article will demonstrate, is key to the author's representation of the "event" which, due to its traumatic nature, is always of the present, and never successfully relegated to the past. I also explore the ways in which the novel suggests a healing which can be neither contained nor enacted within the confines of this overtly present-tense narrative.
In this paper, documentary and artistic pairings of nineteenth-century survey photographs with rephotographs from the 1970s-2000s of identical views of western U.S. sites are read within divergent temporal and historiographical paradigms about historical and geological change. Viewed and interpreted within the legacy of American technocratic "progress" and of debates about the "old" and "new" western histories, this juxtaposed work across a century speaks to shifts in historians' paradigms about the meaning of western expansion, from optimism to tragedy, and to whether geologic and human history are continuous or discontinuous. The ecological rupture of the Anthropocene returns us to nineteenth-century debates, which in part motivated survey photographs, about whether changes in geological and life forms are gradual or catastrophic—or some uneasy combination of the two. What haunts these photographs today is both a lost ideological past and a precarious, humanly viable future that the Anthropocene exposes.

Harness Maker Was Sure Holliday Hill Was Never Smaller.
The following story is told of Twain's experience on his last visit to this city:
"When Mark arose to begin his lecture he sought to win early applause by indulging a few reminiscences.
"In returning to Hannibal I do not feel that I am among strangers,' he said with a drawl, "for I played here as a boy. It seems as if I had known Hannibal since the beginning. Why my dear fellow citizens, I can remember when Holliday's Hill was no bigger than an ash pile and Ol John Lennox could not speak above a whisper."
"A few titters came shatteringly from the audience, but John Stavely ( an old harness maker) gazed blankly at the humorist, and then his brow wrinkled in scorn. At the close of the lecture Stavely stopped at the nearest street corner to express his opinion of the author of "The Jumping Frog of Calaveras County."
"I've known Sam Clemens ever since he was a boy, and he always was a liar, but he's a bigger liar than ever." said the incredulous Stavely. "I was here in this very town before Sam Clemens ever heard of it, and Holliday's Hill then was as big as it is now, and Old John Lennox never saw the day when he whispered."

Genocide is generally conceived of as violence by centralised perpetrators, usually states and regimes, towards whole population groups. In the last two decades, however, there has been more emphasis on the typical complexity of perpetrator forces, including the roles of ancillary states, paramilitaries and even civilians.

A SOLD-OUT TREASON SHOW Friday 17th August
Rib-cracking, side-splitting, gun-firing, hard hitting – why, it's The Treason Show in their summer special at Shoreham. The local satirical gang committed their customary custard pie fest to any number of entertaining targets: leader and Impersonator in Chief, Mark Brailsford (dressed) abetted by Sophia Behn, Kerren Garner and Matt Grief set about numero uno The Donald, with runners up Thameslink Trains and the National Health. Trump is a gift to a blonde, bewigged Brailsford who gleefully sends him up as far as he dares, even risking the space race until Kim Jong Un appears as ally.
Running gags continue to be News Programmes (for the Hard of Thinking) occasionally doubling up at the expense of the national press (Daily Mail.) Brilliant puns scatter through the script like bullets, usually at the expense of politicians or football managers and if one doesn't hit the target, there'll be another along fast. (Unlike Thameslink trains.) Mrs. May is a robot, Ivanka rhymes with banker and similar, whilst Wolfie and Claudie dance their scrambled Deutschland under alles with impeccable timing and linguistic command. Nothing is sacred: there is a funeral for Barry Chuckle and Peter Firmin whilst Jesus prefers to stay on the cross rather than serve in May's Cabinet. ( As do Thai cavers. ) Even nearer the knuckle is the school sketch featuring St. Fondle with a wonderfully inappropriate Head Master.
Wicked, witty, fast and funny.
Louise Dumas.

In re Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) Products Liability Litigation (MDL 1358)
Our attorneys represent defendants as co-national coordinating counsel and serves as lead counsel for cases originating on the West Coast in ongoing national MDL proceedings involving the gasoline additive MTBE. The proceedings involve some 80 lawsuits and hundreds of parties arising from groundwater contamination from MTBE. Our firm has successfully briefed and argued several key defense motions and participates actively in developing strategic and tactical priorities for the joint defense group as a whole.
Our firm was a key leader in the "small group" of joint defense lawyers who coordinated motion planning and affirmative discovery in the West Coast cases. We took the lead in conducting discovery for, and preparing, summary judgment briefing for the Orange County focus case involving the statute of limitations, and were actively involved in discovery and briefing related to the three other principal summary judgment motions filed in the West Coast cases. We also played a central role in expert analyses and extensive negotiations with plaintiffs over discovery relating to "threatened" wells. As new MTBE cases continued to be filed on the West Coast, we handled removal proceedings and prepared remand briefing, and joined other defense group counsel in successfully seeking to transfer such cases to the MDL court.

Saturday Night in Small Town Montana
Last month, Don and I spent one night in the quiet community of Lewistown. We were disappointed to learn our hotel restaurant had closed, due to difficulties in keeping a good chef. Then we were sad to learn our desk clerk at the hotel had no suggestions for dinner. (We declined her offer to share the soup she had heating in a crockpot) Then, much to our relief, a gentleman checked into the hotel who knew all about Lewistown!
Waiting in Line
So Many Signs
The Order Box
We could have easily been intimidated by all the bold messages. And I'm pretty sure we were the only customers who needed to read anything at all.
We pulled up to one of the white and red order boxes. Don shouted into the holes of the box, "Two wagon wheels and an order of tots!" Whew! I was relieved Don said it in the correct order, since there seemed to be a proper routine for this. We were amused by the HONK reminder. Unlike a drive-up bank, there was no buzzer for alerting the workers, if we needed to change the order. We didn't hear a single honk, so we could tell we were in a line up of non-wishy-washy-regulars.
Eat in the Car?
We didn't end up eating in the car. We made the one-minute-dash to the hotel since Lewistown is pretty small. We took our bag to the room, where local Montana beers were chilling.
I'm glad to say we enjoyed the iconic Wagon Wheels and tots. It's so fun to find out about a food that locals love, from a local. On top of that I had a fun time with the locals who cooked our local treats! That was a pretty good dinner and experience for about $8.00!

Women's Council Weekend 2011 (Sunday)
8:32 PM | Posted by Amani | | Edit Post
Sunday morning was at first a very sour feeling morning for me, because the night before ended up being very... emotionally exhausting. Probably the firmest reason why I'll keep to myself during Christian-related events from now on.
Anyways, I stayed up part of the night doing Crystal's hair, and then packing the remaining crap I had.
I slept in for a good minute, Avian and them ended up going back to the diner and bringing my back some breakfast as I finally got up to wash up and get ready. Then, I headed downstairs to the lobby where the rest of the church folks were chilling and waiting for our bus to arrive.
After checking out of the hotel, me and Avian dropped our stuff with the other sisters and ran off to visit the pier before the bus came.
That part of Norfolk that we stayed in was so relaxing... I was kind of sad that with everything going on, we weren't really able to explore. The pier had these nice chairs and sofas and whatnot, and hula hoops and other stuff to play with... the air smelled sweet from the grass and the seawater, nothing like most parts of New York City. It was also funny to me because I'm here waiting for these slow lights... but Norfolk drivers are SO relaxed when they drive, it seemed they were barely moving. Had it been our area, people would be having road rage and rushing for no reason.
There were these mermaids everywhere, it was a shame that I didn't bother to read the back story on them because I was only interested in food all the time. sigh
I got SO many pictures and vids of Avian LOL. I still need to put everything together but here was a few.
In front of the fountains. She managed to run through them without getting wet. I was not trying to risk it LOL
Not realizing it was the backside at first...
Professional drown victim LOL. I was so off-balance because of my knee
This girl was hugging everything... umm...
It was difficult to take this picture lol. Since she was at the edge, she made it super wobbly and I was too afraid of falling to get near the center xD
Bench chillin~
As we walked back, we noticed the bus pulling up to the hotel so we rushed to get our things and leave. This time the driver took the 'old road' and it took 9 HOURS for us to get back to the church in Brooklyn. It was pretty ridiculous, and I was TOO glad that one of the ministers were there to drive me and a few of us home. It actually took another 2 hours or so till I got home-- but I was so relaxed now that I was out of that cramped bus, and once everyone else was dropped off I was able to vent my frustrations a bit. It's good to have someone to listen to you... but it's never the same when it's not that someone you rely on for everything...
Overall, I'm sort of happy that I went, but at the same time I wish I didn't. It was nice going to a new place, but next time I'll make sure to have less disruptions...

Tuesday on Fox Business Network's "Mornings with Maria," Republican presidential candidate Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said of Turkey's downing of a Russian plane, "Turkey punched Russia in the nose, good for Turkey."
Graham said, "Russia is very provocative. They are killing the people we trained to take Assad down, Our president is pathetically weak in the face of aggression He is a weak opponent of evil a porr champion of freedom. I never thought I'd lived long enough to say this, I wish the American president is as bold as the French president. So Syria is getting completely out of hand because our strategy is a miserable failure."
He added, "Here is what's so sad. Three years ago, Obama's entire national security team along with Senator McCain and Senator Graham advised a no-fly zone when Assad was on the ropes and the Free Syrian army was intact. But Ted Cruz and a few others on our side and Democrats voted against it, or suggested not to do it and President Obama went along with Ted Cruz, not to oppose no-fly zone and train Free Syrian Army three years ago this war would be over. Syria would be repairing itself. Russia wouldn't be there. Iran wouldn't be propping up Assad. Assad would have been kicked out by his own people. So it's sad it's gotten this way and it's never going to get better until Obama changes his strategy."

Innovation: Taking "Micromoments" and Maximizing Potential
- March 21, 2019
- Posted by: Yorktown Education Team
- Category: Discovery Learning Innovation in the Classroom
In the coming weeks here at Yorktown Education, you're likely to hear the word "innovation" quite a few times in terms of our Innovation Expo. Each year, we challenge the students to innovate to solve a problem. Some of the greatest ideas and solutions to problems have come from children, but often, those ideas are shut down by words like "not right now", or "that's a good idea, but it's impossible". No one is meaning to squander a child's creativity or imagination, as sometimes these great ideas are in the middle of something completely different. These ideas are called "micromoments", as coined by Dr. Ronald Beghetto, an expert in creativity currently at the University of Connecticut.
What we want to do with the Innovation Expo is take these "micromoments" and allow students to reach for their full creative potential in a topic that is interesting to them and work towards solutions to common (or uncommon) identified problems in the community. 1. Throughout the year, teachers at Yorktown Education encourage students to think critically and ask questions. These critical thinking skills that are encouraged are allowing students to not only think of questions to explore, but potential solutions.
Another way to recognize and encourage "micromoments" is to allow students to carry around a small notebook. This gives students a chance to write down their ideas to come back to at a later time if the current time is not ideal to explore their thoughts. These journals can become essential when students are able to explore their questions during Innovation Expo. Many times, our teachers also provide opportunities to explore these questions throughout the year during "Do What You Love" periods or Passion Projects.
You are invited to come see how our students are exploring their questions, finding their passions, and innovating through a tour of our school!
