Shrimp processors have lost a call for higher duties on frozen shrimp imported from five countries — China, Vietnam, Ecuador, India and Malaysia.
The U.S. International Trade Commission rejected the proposal 4-2 Friday, saying the Coalition of Gulf Shrimp Industries failed to present strong evidence that the imports were seriously damaging the processors.
A tie would have required the higher tariff.
Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne and others argued that cheaper imports, which make up three-quarters of all shrimp eaten in the United States, get subsidies that let them undercut prices of shrimp caught in the Gulf.
"We are not throwing in the towel on this vital issue," said David Veal, executive director of the coalition, which represents shrimp processors in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina and Texas.
The U.S. Commerce Department said in May that subsidies in Ecuador and Indonesia appeared too small to hurt the domestic industry, but those in the other five appeared to be undercutting U.S. prices. It ordered importers to pay bonds up to nearly 63 percent to offset the subsidies until the commission ruled.
The coalition will decide whether to appeal after the commission files a report explaining its ruling, attorneys said. An appeal would go to the U.S. Court of International Trade in New York.
"We will … explore all options, including judicial review, policy changes, and other steps that may be needed to ensure that massive government subsidies are not allowed to fuel foreign exports, suppress U.S. prices, and endanger our domestic industries, including the U.S. shrimp industry," attorney Elizabeth Drake said in a news release.
The Southern Shrimp Alliance, which represents shrimpers, blamed the coalition.
"The thirty-odd members of COGSI pursued trade relief without seeking to build support for the request within the industry," the shrimpers' group said in a news release. "Instead, COGSI advocated for narrow definitions of the domestic shrimp industry … In consequence, overall support for the petitions for trade relief was limited, with the vast majority of industry members declining to express any position regarding the case."

The second-most important minute in Alex Trebek's residency as host of "Danger!" presumably arrived in 2001. By at that point, the Canadian-brought into the world diversion shows identity had been throwing hints and reporting Daily Doubles on the excellent program since 1984.
In any case, when the show's eighteenth season went live that year, watchers were dazed to see a noticeable change. Gone was Trebek's trademark mustache, a lip-covering relic of the bristly 1980s that had progressed toward becoming as intently connected with the host as Trebek had been to "Danger!" itself. In apparent Trebek style, he hummed off his characterizing physical trademark spontaneously, without telling makers or even his significant other. Yells of dissents lit up the mediascape over the missing facial hair.
"It got so much press, I could barely handle it," Trebek later told the New Republic in 2014. "The wars with Iraq or whatever around then, and individuals are all in a stew over my mustache. I have one reaction: Get an actual existence."
Be that as it may, as America's most well known quizfest's speaker, Trebek — he of the funny mind, the scholarly articulation of darken musical dramas and creatures, the father like dissatisfaction when hopefuls whiff on a simple one — has since quite a while ago delighted in kicking the desires for the vast number of watchers who have come to know him.
"I wouldn't fret astonishing individuals," the host disclosed to New York magazine last November.
Presently in his 35th season, Trebek conveyed another shock on Wednesday, a minute that is probably going to be the most noteworthy in his great showbiz profession and one with none of the levity of an AWOL mustache. In a video posted on the web, he uncovered he has been determined to have late-organize pancreatic malignant growth.
"Presently, regularly the forecast for this isn't empowering. However I'm going to battle this," Trebek said in the video. "What's more, I'm going to continue working . . . with the adoration and backing of my family and companions, and with the assistance of your petitions too."
The stun and misery that heaped up via web-based networking media after the declaration indicated exactly how far Trebek's star has ascended in American culture — an astonishment indeed, considering the host's self-destroying style. In any case, even while uncovering his ailment on Wednesday, Trebek flashed a portion of the on-screen enchantment that has kept him an easily recognized name for a long time.
"I intend to beat the low survival rate insights of this ailment," Trebek told watchers. "Truth told, I need to because, under the terms of my agreement, I need to have 'Risk!' for three additional years!"
The piece of information: An Ontario-conceived 78-year-old who began in communicating on neighborhood TV and radio stations while as yet finishing a logic degree at the University of Ottawa.
Who is Alex Trebek?
Before swaggering onto the "Risk!" sound stage in 1984, Trebek was an apprentice amusement show have on projects in both Canada and the U.S. As indicated by the A.V. Club, he touched base in Hollywood in 1973 to have a show called "The Wizard of Odds." It just endured a year, and Trebek caught up with a few long-overlooked projects — "Hotshots," "The $128,000 Question," "Battlestar," and "Entanglement."
Talking a year ago to New York, Trebek thought back on his initial days as a solitary person attempting to make it in Hollywood.
"I was not a player. I dated not that regularly. I was a bashful, community Canadian child," he said. "I never felt like I had a place."
As much as Trebek's identity would progress toward becoming welded to "Peril!," the show really had an actual existence before he took the guiding wheel. Made by amazing TV master Merv Griffin, the amusement show had two past runs — from 1964 through 1975 and 1978 through 1979 — before Trebek (and his mustache) propelled the syndicated reboot in 1984.
The show's enduring notoriety is attached to the idea. In contrast to "Wheel of Fortune," another Griffin creation that depends fairly on karma, "Danger!" is about cerebrums and timing — which candidate can release the correct answer the fastest.
On the off chance that Trebek was a showbiz untouchable, he additionally intentionally kept himself on the edge of his own program. The way to Trebek's on-screen enchantment is his nonappearance from the activity. Beginning in the good 'old days, he deliberately dialed his very own identity down to low-wattage, a host who never attempts to eclipse the competitors or questions.
"You need to set your self-image aside," he disclosed to New York a year ago. "The superstars are simply the hopefuls and the diversion. That is the reason I've generally demanded that I be presented as the host and not the star. What's more, on the off chance that you need to be a decent host, you need to figure an approach to get the competitors to — as in the old TV plug about the military — 'be everything you can be.' Because if they progress admirably, the show progresses nicely. Furthermore, if the show progresses nicely, by affiliation I improve admirably."
Since his introduction, Trebek has turned out to be more than a TV have, yet a lodestar of American culture. To date, he's facilitated more than 7,000 "Danger!" scenes, stashed six Daytime Emmys, incorporating no less than one in every one of the most recent four decades, and furthermore a Peabody Award, The Washington Post has detailed. Trebek likewise has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
He's showed up as himself on a show, for example, "How I Met Your Mother" and "The Simpsons," and has logged appearances on everything from "The Colbert Report" to "RuPaul's Drag Race." Will Ferrell depicted Trebek on a great arrangement of "Saturday Night Live" outlines.
The piece of information: In 2014, Alex Trebek was granted this respect for the "most amusement show scenes facilitated by a similar moderator."
What is the Guinness World Record?
Hint: In 2013 a Reader's Digest positioned Alex Trebek No. 8 on this survey, beating Melinda Gates, Ellen DeGeneres, and President Barack Obama.
What is a rundown of the 100 most confided in individuals in America?
News of Trebek's finding started an overflowing of good wishes on Wednesday from a wide assortment of famous people and different figures — a demonstration of the host's allure.
"Sending Love and Prayers To Alex Trebek," Cher composed on Twitter.
"You are the scholarly Bruce Lee," writer Don Winslow expressed. "You can beat this, and I supplicate you to do."
Ken Jennings, the past "Peril!" hopeful with the longest-running series of wins ever, likewise tolled in on Twitter: "I've said this previously yet Alex Trebek is in a way the last Cronkite: definitive, consoling TV voice you hear each night, nearly to the point of custom."
Before his malignant growth determination, there had been relentless bits of gossip throughout the years that Trebek would before long give up on his show. The amusement show has himself has just thoroughly considered his last "Danger!"
"I will tell the executive, 'Time the show so I have 30 seconds toward the end,'" Trebek disclosed to New York last November. "So all I need on my last show is 30 seconds, and I'll do what Johnny Carson did: 'Hello, people, bless your heart. Been a decent run and every single beneficial thing must reach an end.' Then I'll proceed onward."

The inaugural Lakeside Live event took place in September 2017 and the lunchtime concerts have featured acts including Timeless (the A Capella trio that made it to the final of Sky One's Sing: Ultimate A Capella) and well-known local band The Bootlegs. A Christmas special was also held in December.
Karen Tyrrell, Client & Communications Manager at Lakeside North Harbour, comments: "We are always keen to enhance the working day of our occupiers, by ensuring that we offer first class facilities and by creating a great place to work. Lakeside Live is a fantastic example of this extra commitment, and alongside our other events – such as Street Food Friday and Street Market Days – is helping us to ensure we offer access to a better work/life balance for everyone here."
Marley Blandford, the 22 year old singer songwriter from Portsmouth, adds: "The idea of coming to play a few songs to entertain people on their lunch break or those who needed a break from work to relax for a while was very appealing. The sound in the Business Lounge is really good; it's a brilliant venue for music and the audience was great – lots of people coming through as they made their way around campus on their lunch break and staying to enjoy some songs!"
Karen continues: "We are delighted with how the Lakeside Live events have been received. We feel strongly that the campus life we are creating at Lakeside North Harbour is providing just what today's successful businesses want – first class office space, excellent transport links, shops and restaurants on site and a thriving social scene. Our exciting plans this year include a series of social events held in the beautifully landscaped grounds around the lake once the summer months arrive."
Following the lunchtime event Marley went on to support X-Factor's Matt Cardle as part of his latest live tour.

Educators today often complain of the difficulty of retaining students' attention in the classroom and of stimulating their interest in traditional elements of the curriculum.
Young adults, accustomed to highly visual, interactive media platforms like the internet, gaming consoles, smartphones and so on, often struggle when confronted with reams of text to be absorbed in a passive way. The challenge for many students becomes even greater when trying to engage with Shakespeare, whose works contemporary students often perceive as inaccessible or irrelevant.
Educational thought-leader Marc Prensky has argued that today's students, having been raised in a digital environment, assimilate information differently to most adults:
"They have spent their entire lives surrounded by and using computers, videogames, digital music players, video cams, cell phones, and all the other toys and tools of the digital age…as a result of this ubiquitous environment and the sheer volume of their interaction with it, today's students think and process information fundamentally differently from their predecessors…. They like to parallel process and multi-task. They prefer their graphics before their text rather than the opposite... They are used to the instantaneity of hypertext, downloaded music, phones in their pockets, a library on their laptops, beamed messages and instant messaging."
(Marc Prensky, 2001)
So how do we ensure that Shakespeare's works—a resource so rich in literature, philosophy, psychology and human life itself—are not lost to these "digital natives"?
The Shakespeare In Bits series aims to address this potential disconnect by blending technology and content in such a way as to provide a richer and more stimulating learning experience. The graphics, audio and text combine to provide users with multiple cognitive inputs while the incidental rollover notes, clickable in-line translations, character bios etc. also provide a degree of interactivity that keeps the student more fully engaged with the text. Importantly, this approach also allows the students to interact with challenging words or phrases in their original context, without resorting to blanket modern 'translations'.
The combination of animation, audio, and text delivered by each Shakespeare In Bits title also allows students to process information in a way that best suits their learning style. Multiple intelligence theorists such as Howard Gardner have argued that traditional educational methods best suit learners with a strong verbal or logical-mathematical intelligence. With Shakespeare In Bits, learners with a strong visual or kinesthetic intelligence are also catered to through the visual and interactive elements of the software. Other influential thinkers, such as developmental psychologist Lev Vygotsky, have argued that active participation and social interaction can maximize learning outcomes in the classroom. Cognizant of this, Shakespeare In Bits allows students and teachers the flexibility to use the product on their own in a self-paced environment, or in a more collaborative way via a projector in the classroom, or in a lab setting.
Whatever your technological set-up and student needs, we believe there is a way for you and your students to enjoy a unique learning experience with Shakespeare In Bits!

Iran has failed to moderate its hostile behavior following the strong cautionary threats issued by Washington placing Tehran "on notice" in response to Iran's late-January intermediate-range ballistic missile launch.
This can more vividly be seen in yet another pair of anti-ship ballistic missiles test-fired by Iran during this weekend, one on Saturday and again on Sunday. To further the tension, Iranian fast attack boats resorted to another episode of aggressive measures by coming within 600 yards of a United States Navy surveillance vessel in the sensitive Gulf waters of the Strait of Hormuz.
The Revolutionary Guards, the entity behind Iran's ballistic missile tests and naval provocations, is the subject of new revelations unveiling its grip on strategic assets in Iran used to boost its support for terrorism, Iran's nuclear program, missile drive and the effort to obtain weapons of mass destruction.
A press conference on Tuesday in London was hosted by the Iranian opposition National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), shedding light on the IRGC's expanding control over Iran's economy.
The group cited information obtained from sources inside Iran affiliated to the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) with access into the IRGC ranks and files. This new data, gathered in the past several months, clarifies the IRGC's ownership of 90 docks to pursue its illicit intentions. This count is equivalent to 45 percent of Iran's 212 officially-registered piers, mainly spread across its southern shores.
The IRGC employs these docks to send dire logistics to proxy militia groups across the Middle East, and Iran's support for such lethal entities throughout Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Lebanon are known to all.
The history of these docks dates back to 1982, when the Iranian regime leadership first ordered the IRGC to begin such a network. The main objective was to provide a window of opportunity for the IRGC to enjoy freedom of state supervision and customs limitations, and most importantly, remain beyond the reach of international monitoring.
Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has continued this legacy through the years by instructing an increase in the number of these "Bahman Docks," as they are dubbed. This allowed the IRGC to become ever more involved in the country's economy, reaching a point today of being known as the regime's economic powerhouse and covertly bypassing international sanctions.
These docks have also provided further means for the IRGC to flood Iran's markets with an enormous volume of usually low-quality, cheap goods without any customs concerns. Such a practice has literally brought many aspects of Iran's production economy to its knees and fueled the current financial crisis riddling the country.
Considering the monitoring imposed on Iran's activities by the international community, the IRGC especially employs such docks to deliver arms and military equipment to groups throughout the region, including missiles targeting U.S. ally Saudi Arabia.
The NCRI revelations presented various names of docks and shipping companies tasked by the IRGC to provide cover for its variety of transfers. The IRGC now also owns a number of large oil tankers usually rented to foreign states and rendering even more revenue for the IRGC's export of terrorism.
According to the NCRI intelligence, the IRGC arms-flow through these docks and shipping companies is a constant trend, and yet only a small portion of such measures were discovered and prevented in recent years by the international community.
As measures against Iran and the IRGC are currently weighed in the White House and Congress, such important revelations emphasize the fact that action against the IRGC, being Iran's main medium in support of terrorism and extremism across the Middle East, is needed more than ever before.

Young Hero karthikeya who scored a memorable blockbuster with his power-packed performance in 'RX100' movie is going to test his love with a romantic entertainer 'Hippi'. TN Krishna is helming this project.
Digangana Suryavanshi is playing the female lead in this movie. Rumors came out that Kartikeya is going to appear in an extremely different kind of role in this film now, the one-minute teaser video that got released today also hinted the same. The teaser showcased Karthikeya and Vennela Kishore talking and the latter saying that he is a playboy. The teaser has been receiving a moderate response from the audience we have to wait and see how far karthikeya is going to impress the audience with this film.
Kalaipuli S Thanu is bankrolling this project under Asian Cinemas and V Creations banners. Nivas K Prasanna is composing the tunes and RD Rajasekar is handling the camera.

The Acme English Whistles are the gold standard of dog training and trialing whistles, made in Birmingham, England. Each whistle is individually tested and guaranteed. Whistle training is vital for wild bird hunting dogs, as the sound of the human voice frightens game away. These three models are all pealess, giving a constant, even tone without trilling and no peas inside the whistle to get stuck or frozen. Each model has a distinct high pitch, allowing you to have an individualized whistle tone for those times when youre braced with another dog/handler at hunt tests or field trials, so that your dog can differentiate your call. These whistles are made especially for close working gundogs such as spaniels, versatile dogs, flushers, retrievers and mid-range pointers, with a ¼ to ½ mile audible range.
Choose from three models when ordering, the higher the number, the higher the pitch:
- Acme Sonec 3 inch long 210 ½

Change Management for Organizational Strategy & Balanced Scorecards.
Energize leaders ; Inspire employees ; Excite Shareholders ; Attract Customers
"To execute strategy is to execute change at all levels of an organization. Seems self-evident, but overlooking this truth is one of the greatest causes of a failed transformation effort". (David P. Norton, 2002)
75% of strategies fail (ADB, 2009). Topping the list of reasons for such high failure is the people side of change!
Strategies and balanced scorecards are developed to help organizations to collectively act with purpose in their value delivery journey. Unfortunately many strategies are developed with the assumption of the machine metaphor. This often leads a to the "creation of
detailed plans for desired changes; invites unrealistic expectations of control; and creates anxiety, blame and defensiveness when events inevitably do not proceed according to plan."1 Approached differently, strategies and balanced scorecards can become powerful narratives that:
- Energize the leaders, inspires people, excites shareholders and attracts customers.
- Helps make your employees connect to the purpose of the organization and feel like they are part of a bigger picture
- Demonstrates leaders' seriousness and commitment to the purpose.
This program teaches participants to work in the strategic planning and execution process as change influencers facilitating a change process that supports mindful participation and courage to challenge held beliefs, theories and assumptions that are likely to stand in the way of change.
You will also learn how to apply different value-based and practical tools in the here-and-now to track experiences, the questions that arise out of those experiences, the insights you receive, how to weigh evidence in order to verify understanding, how to make decisions and what actions to take.
Who should attend?
This program is suitable for every Leader, Manager, Team Leaders, Change Champion, Strategy Champions and Human Resource personnel charged with the responsibility of developing and implementing strategies/balanced scorecards and performance management systems for any type of organization.

In a November 30 interview for his upcoming movie "Two Men," SHINee's Minho opened up about the harsh criticisms that his acting had received in the past.
When promoting as an actor, Minho has always received mostly criticisms, but after the movie premiere of "Two Men," in which he makes his first silver screen lead role debut, praise is finally pouring his way.
"Instead of training, I did a lot of thinking on my own," said the idol-actor. "I like movies and plays, so I thought a lot about them. I dug deep into why the seniors do so well, things like that. As I brooded more over the subject, I would revise it again. That's why I have a lot of thoughts on how to do [acting] well. I also thought a lot about what makes the difference [between myself and my seniors]. While asking myself questions, I came to some sort of answer, although it is not 100 percent, and I also came to understand where the problem lies. I thought to myself, 'These are the things I should supplement myself with,' and I adjusted accordingly."
Reflecting on his past, he said, "Even from my point of view, I more than deserved those criticisms. I struggled a lot in my first lead role in 'To The Beautiful You,' but looking back, it is because of that past that I have confidence now, so I definitely don't consider it a taint on my history. If I wasn't at that age, I wouldn't have expressed that character well either. I think the clumsiness [of my acting] worked well [for that character], but there was a lot left to be desired. If I knew myself better and understood acting better, I might have done better… I feel regretful that I ruined the drama."
But Minho stressed that it was because of experiences like this that he got to discover more about himself.
"Back then, I just stubbornly thought that I just have to do well. At a young age, I was in a leading role and I needed to lead the drama by paying attention to the people and situation around me, but I wasn't able to. A lead isn't someone who just acts well on his own, but leads the entire drama. I should have paid more attention to the other things, but I focused too much on myself, and it resulted in me just awkwardly standing out. But I learned a lot from that, and it was 'medicine' for me. To be honest, being criticized so much was a huge lesson for me."
"Two Men" is a crime action film about two men (pun unintended) whose lives have hit rock bottom, and are desperately fighting to protect the girl they love. Minho plays the leader of a gang of teenagers who have run away from home and are making a living by selling stolen goods.
Aren't you proud of how far Minho has come?

In THE LAST BLINTZ, the imminent closing of a historic cafe in New York City's theater district compels its loyal clientele to create a petition to save it.
Historic Cafe Edison, located in the former ballroom of Hotel Edison on West 47th Street, has been a culinary staple in NYC's Theater District for the past 32 years. When the original owners of the cafe and hotel (both Holocaust survivors) made a pact to keep Cafe Edison open as long as the Strohl family was willing to run it, their handshake meant their word. Now, with gentrification, and the value of Times Square real estate mounting, the current owners of Hotel Edison are prepared to trade in their beloved neighborhood cafe for an upscale, five-star restaurant.
Official Selection at AFI Docs, THE LAST BLINTZ offers an emotional look at one of the last vestiges of old New York, while examining the cultural and social implications of relinquishing America's cultural and historic markers.
Special Event: Film includes Berlin-inspired Continental breakfast

In Her Shoes
Ever pick the wrong line in a grocery store and wish you had picked any other line in the store? It was 4pm at Whole Foods on a Tuesday when I found myself searching for a check-out line. I walked to the very end, and got in the shortest line in the store. There was a reason the line was so short. Everyone who got in line, got out and went somewhere else. I didn't know this, however, when I started putting my groceries on the conveyor belt. There was just one lady in front of me. An Indian woman

Research in the field of multimedia has yielded principles for the design of effective multimedia instructional messages including Mayer's principles regarding voice. According to the voice principle, students learn more deeply when the narration in a multimedia lesson is spoken by a native voice rather than a non-native voice. The generalizability of the voice principle has been demonstrated when applied to multimedia users who are native speakers of the language used in narration. However, three out of four English users are non-native speakers of English, and the vast majority of verbal exchanges in English do not involve any native speakers of the language at all. By focusing on non-native users, the results of this study should clarify the applicability of the voice principle to a broader target audience. The study investigated whether the accent of the narrator in a multimedia tutorial affected participants' learning and attitudes toward the narrator. The independent variable of the study was narrator's accent with two levels: native accent and non-native shared accent. The dependent variables of the study were participants' learning and their attitudes toward the narrators. Sixty-five Chinese participants at a Midwestern university in the United States were randomly assigned to one of two groups in this experimental design. Data to test the dependent variables were collected through a learning achievement test and an attitude survey. Data analyses revealed that there was no significant difference in overall learning and recall level learning between the two accent groups. However, the group who heard the narration spoken with the native American English accent had significantly more positive attitudes toward their respective narrator than the group who heard the narration spoken with a non-native shared Chinese accent. The study qualifies the voice principle by establishing the limits of its generalizability to non-native English speakers. The study suggests to instructional designers that the use of a non-native shared accent should not affect students' learning negatively although it may affect their attitudes toward the speakers. In addition, the study helps assure non-native instructors that they can record their own voices to use in multimedia instruction as their non-native students will learn as effectively as with a native English accent.

Roommate groups are formed on the "Roommate" portion of the Room Selection page on your housing portal. Priority is given in selection to students who completely fill an apartment or suite. You are strongly urged to make every attempt to choose a room and a roommate. In the event that you do not have a roommate, you may still participate in room selection and will be notified when the selection process is open to students who are going through as individuals or in smaller groups. If you choose not to select a space, you will be randomly assigned based on availability.

Gavin exposes to Steve in the refectory the punks, the nerds and the different tribes of the school and he defends the weird theory that a sinister force changes the behavior of the annoyingly perfect "Blue Ribbons", a group of good students that wear identical jackets and gather in the Yogurt Shoppe. Further he tells that he had witnessed the blue ribbon Andy Efkin killing their schoolmate Mary Jo that is missing and the local Officer Cox covering the murder.

Scientists unlock 'green' energy from garden grass
A team of UK researchers, including experts from Cardiff University's Cardiff Catalysis Institute, have shown that significant amounts of hydrogen can be unlocked from fescue grass with the help of sunlight and a cheap catalyst.
They say it is the first time that this method has been demonstrated and could potentially lead to a sustainable way of producing hydrogen, which has potential in the renewable energy industry due to its high energy content and because it does not release toxic or greenhouse gases when it is burnt.
The team, which also includes researchers from Queen's University Belfast, have published their findings in the Royal Society journalProceedings A.
Hydrogen is contained in enormous quantities all over in the world in water, hydrocarbons and other organic matter.
Up until now, the challenge has been devising ways of unlocking hydrogen in a cheap, efficient and sustainable way.
A promising source is the organic compound cellulose, which is a key component of plants.
The team investigated the possibility of converting cellulose into hydrogen using sunlight and a simple catalyst – a substance which speeds up a chemical reaction without getting used up.
The researchers studied the effectiveness of three metal-based catalysts – palladium, gold and nickel.
The researchers combined the three catalysts with cellulose and subjected the mixture to light from a desk lamp. At 30 minutes intervals the researchers collected gas samples from the mixture and analysed it to see how much hydrogen was being produced.

Today's "strange photo of the day" is of *me* because somehow in Donald Pitchford's interview, every word that contained the letters "r-e-d" next to each other was changed to "b-l-u-e" - obviously not his doing but my doing.
I sincerely apologize to him as this was totally my fault but done by error.
Any embarrassment I caused him - well honestly, I can't think of the words I would like to say, except I messed up somewhere. And I do apologize.
Luckily, I consider him a friend and we have emailed almost daily about Lum and Abner (our favorite subject) but until this morning, I was somehow oblivious and unaware of a problem with the interview.
Thank you.

'Changing Tides' is an exhibition of paintings, watercolours & drawings exploring the shifting seascapes of the Merricks to Flinders coastline by two different artists, Mike Nicholls & Jo Darvall. Nicholls & Darvall have a strong connection with this part of Victoria's coastline, with Darvall regularly residing at her family farm in Flinders & Nicholls a regular exhibitor at Merricks House Art Gallery & Montalto Vineyard.
Mike Nicholls seascapes are derived from small plein-air drawings produced on numerous visits to the Peninsula's coastline. The drawings are research works from which to develop oil paintings of seascapes in the studio. Rather than work from photographs, Nicholls draws in situ, spending an hour or two recording the vision before him – which is in constant flux. Rather than capturing the vista in a stagnant moment, the artist has endured to capture the essence of a moment in time. Alongside the paintings and drawings Nicholls will be exhibiting a small selection of his most recent bronze and wooden sculptures.
Jo Darvall's watercolours depict the towering forms of ancient trees gracefully lining the Flinders farms boundary fence. Their large heavy bows reaching out, some falling with heavy timber arms that creak and moan in the wind. Her oil paintings reveal Western Port Bay, its silvery body arching over to Phillip Island, originally known as the "Dangerous Bight" this stretch of water is submerged in a hazy blue grey mist where large monolithic rocks punctuate the horizon.
Mike Nicholls has exhibited widely at public and private galleries throughout Australia and been the recipient of many major art prizes, recently winning the Montalto Sculpture Prize 2018. He has had major solo exhibitions at McClelland Gallery & Sculpture Park and South Gippsland Regional Gallery. His work is extensively represented in major public and private art collections, including the National Gallery of Australia and the National Gallery of Victoria. He has completed many public art commissions throughout Australia.
Jo Darvall resides in Western Austalia and is represented by galleries in Singapore and Australia. Her works are in many important collections such as the Janet Holmes a Court Collection in WA, private and public collections in Australia, Singapore and China.

Just like a real-life society, there come times where there seems to be an increase in exposure of certain topics – these can change from politics, war, and even the type of new fad diet you should be on. Everywhere you look you'll find something that directly relates to the topic, continuously exposing you until one day you wake up and it's like it never happened – for Orbis, that's racism.
Racism has always lurked the shadows of Politics & War, an online simulation game, just like it does pretty much everywhere a network of people are pushed together to form a community. Communities that bridge grouped networks from all over the world coming together in one spot, there is bound to be some difference in opinion and beliefs which generally leads to what we are here to talk about, Racism on Orbis.
There have been many instances and reports of racism, but for this story let's go back in time – nearly a year ago, August 2018. Thalmor, of Knights Templar, placed a bounty that was considered offensive on another player, Queen M. The bounty was placed as "1488000" – most of us might not think twice about the bounty, but what it actually meant was 14/88 which is a reference to the fourteen-word white supremacist slogan "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." – now assumably and widely known, Thalmor is white and Queen M is not. One of the main reasons this particular case attracted a lot of attention was because Queen M found out who sent the bounty when bounties through the game are supposed to be anonymous. Long story short here, Alex – game admin/owner – shared this information to Queen M, we won't go deep into that side of the story, but if you'd like to check that out you can do so by visiting this thread.
Today, we focus our light on another Knights Templar nation – Muhammad Johnson of Adraya. A quick look at this player's nation and you'll find a somewhat satirical hit for anyone looking to throw a flag on racism, antisemitism, or the like. Some interesting notions that we have found during our investigation have been the interesting city names, one being "Einsatzgruppen" which was a paramilitary death squad of Nazi Germany responsible for mass killings in Germany-occupied Europe. Earlier today, June 6th, Adraya attacked no other than Queen M who now goes by Cardi B-adu in-game with the declaration reason of "I'll get the tree if u get the rope."
Regardless of your opinion of Queen M, who did catch a lot of flack a year ago with the Thalmor issue, these types of actions within this community should cause us to question – what is right and what is wrong – or more, what is appropriate? We could go up and down and label every instance of complaint with 'you're an SJW' or throw the liberal card into the mix and just keep telling people to get thicker skin, but when we cut through the thick of all that bullshit, we get to the point where we should truly decide as a community. What if the argument was flipped? What if you felt truly attacked? We all come from different walks of life and have had our own trials and tribulations – why do we fight each other at this level?
This isn't about creating more of a divide – mass media and politicians across the world do enough of that for us. We have all developed this world of Orbis together – across political boundaries, country regulations, opinions, beliefs, and even language barriers. Together, we have brought this game to where we stand today and together we can choose to actually build a more positive and accepting community. This isn't to say that we can't joke, we can't have fun – actual satire is fine and reminds you of your base and where you stand. It also isn't to say that you can't have an opinion that differs from someone else, a religion that is different or a belief that is different – however – deliberate attacks on specific people, groups, cultures in an attempt to troll, be negative, or look cool with your buds shouldn't be tolerated – we as a community can stop that.
This post also isn't to paint a negative picture of Politics & War, but more to motivate a sense of urgency to its game admin and the moderation staff – do something, you're here to protect the community, its time to fulfill your commitment.
We built this community, let us UNITE and make sure it remains our community, together.
Bezzers did report this war declaration to moderators at about 1840 CST. About an hour ago (2240 CST) Alex, Game Admin, issued a nation strike against the offender.
It is worth noting for this post that we did reach out to the leader of Adraya who used this declaration reason and did not have a response, at the time of writing this article this player was active within 2 hours.
Update: The player in question did respond at 22:32 CST.

April 11, 2016
In a country where almost 70% of its population is considered overweight or obese, it seems highly improbable that hunger would also be a prevalent concern. How can a nation full of over-consuming citizens simultaneously suffer from hunger? The answer is simple: we are a nation starved of nutrition, not of calories.
An individual's quality of life is directly impacted by a healthy, well balanced diet, however, knowledge of what that entails or how to obtain one is limited for so many. Availability of educational resources relating to nutrition is particularly scarce among the lower socioeconomic sector of Americans. Unsurprisingly, that same class contributes the most to the obesity rate in this country.
Failure to make healthy food choices leads to poor overall health. Notably, the focus of campaigns addressing childhood hunger includes adding calories to ensure that kids don't go to bed feeling hungry. This population, however, might be better served by educating families on the importance of prioritizing quality over quantity when it comes to what they eat. Over the last decade, the number of 'hungry' Americans remained stagnant. The efficiency and usage of government assistance programs have significantly expanded, but hunger still exists. In fact, it hasn't budged.
There are over 300 subsidies that are available to food-insecure Americans, each offering a range of benefits.
Here is a closer look at the three most predominately used programs:
- SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) SNAP is the program formerly known as "food stamps," where an EBT (Electronic Benefit Transfer) card is issued and used like a debit card to purchase groceries. Money is deposited into an account once a month and is strictly limited to purchasing food items only. SNAP is the largest program in the domestic hunger safety net. The FNS (Food and Nutrition Service) works with state agencies, nutrition educators and community organizations to ensure that those eligible for assistance can make informed decisions and access benefits.
- WIC (Women Infants Children) WIC is a program that improves the health of pregnant women, new mothers and their children up to age 5. They provide nutrition education, breastfeeding support, health screening, doctor referrals and access to a variety of nutritious foods. Some states use the EBT system, but most provide vouchers that can be used for designated goods at authorized locations. WIC is the third most commonly used assistant program in the U.S.
- School Meal Programs The National School Lunch Program is the most widely known and utilized assistance program for children between the ages 6-18. School districts and independent schools that participate in the lunch program must serve lunches that meet federal requirements, following the "Latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans." Unlike SNAP and WIC, no formal nutrition education for children is currently mandated by the USDA. Local education agencies (LEA's) are required to implement local wellness policies, assessments, and updates that are later assessed by state agencies.
While all of these assistance programs have substantial outreach, the fact that there are still 48 million food insecure Americans is concerning. One major argument that frequently surfaces is the issue of transportation. Low income neighborhoods habitually lack full service grocery stores. Often times convenience and liquor stores become the only option for nourishment, neither of which offer healthy, sustainable items. In actuality, such locations actually embody the antithesis of a healthy, thriving nation.
Thankfully, local community members, farmers, and entrepreneurs have responded by providing their own means of assistance, by offering both affordable and sustainable goods. Each program offers delivery opportunities for those without access to transportation. In addition, many accept EBT cards as a form of payment.
Local Support:
- Farmer's market: is a food market where local farmers sell fruit, vegetables, meat, cheese, and bakery products directly to consumers.
- Food co-op: is a food distribution outlet organized as a cooperative. They are usually consumers' cooperatives where the decisions regarding the production and distribution of its food are chosen by its members.
- CSA (community supported agriculture): is a way for consumers to buy local, seasonal produce directly from a farmer in their community. It is basically a farm share. A farmer offers a certain number of "shares" to the public.
Due to the support of these local options, the outreach of government assistance programs continues to expand through a myriad of outlets. However, these small enterprises can only reach so far on the community level without large-scale initiatives. The government is both capable of and responsible for implementing improvements in the infrastructure of its existing interventions, beyond its subsidies, to include healthy options for those who need it most.
Many doubt that a government that has already accrued over $13 trillion in debt can, or even should, expand its assistance programs to include healthier items when most average income Americans cannot even afford the luxury of fresh, sustainable foods. Undoubtedly, further financial, occupational, and emotional energy would be necessary to make these healthy choices available to everyone, regardless of their socioeconomic status. Taking the right course of action is critical, but understanding how we got here is the first step to solving the issue.
One undeniable truth is that for most Americans, meeting day to day needs requires a 'work to live' approach that is contributing the downfall of nutrition as we used to know it. Two household incomes are so frequently required to meet family expenses that the idea of food preparation within the home has been all but abandoned. Families don't have time to learn about food, teach their children about food, or cook their own food, much less grow it themselves. Food manufacturers have replaced the roles of our farmers, our teachers and our caretakers.
Cheap, fast and easy nourishment is the American means to an unforeseeable end. As chronic illness continues to skyrocket, this country finds itself at a breaking point. For the first time in history, a generation is in worse health than the previous one. The U.S. ranks below almost every other developed nation in infant mortality. A child born in America is less likely to make it to their first birthday than one born in Slovakia, Belarus or Cuba. Women have the highest risk of dying in childbirth in the U.S. than any other developed country. Heart disease is at an all-time high. Nutrition is not the only solution to these problems, but it is impossible to solve health issues with-out first addressing this very basic necessity.
Breaking this cycle of hunger and illness requires a paradigm shift in thinking. The only way to get there is through more education. When people understand the direct connection between what they eat and their health outcomes, they will be capable of making better choices.
Stay Informed. . . Stay Healthy!
