They never did bring it back.
The thing that immediately came to mind is this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u2ZsoYWwJAat about 7:30.In general it's an interesting topic; another is, Where is a philosophical approach to discussing comedy successful?. (Partly what the point of this forum is, I suppose.)But for the topic in hand, which as I understand it, is Is Philosophy good comedy fodder? Yes, clearly. And perhaps it shouldn't be surprising:Could one argue that Philosophy and comedy both succeed by taking the audience into unfamiliar places and then using certain established frameworks for examining those places? There seems something similar about the processes, even if that's not quite it. But it's certainly true that you can't have a good piece of comedy without something original; more often than not this will constitute some (broadly understood) philosophical insight. Conversely I've often heard philosophers discussing philosophy as if it were a joke---so things like 'the punchline is that consciousness is bound up with i-states' or whatever. Well, I don't know---discuss.One thing seems sure: it's a pretty untapped area. It would, as Louis CK demonstrates, provide great material for stand-up..In a slightly different vein, Stuart Lee certainly seems to employ a post-modernist method as a foundation for his stuff (as perhaps Lenny Bruce used a Marxist method??). The fact that I can't stand most post-modernist devices makes Stuart Lee very difficult impossible for me to watch. But I can see the appeal.

The Gervais episode was spot on for me, despite my misgivings about Gervais's output. It was very nice to see the two particular flavours of misanthropy that Larry and Gervais expound clashing. At least it made a change from the arguably formulaic intra-judeo conflict which takes the form of ad nauseam repetition, cf. 'I know what you're doing. This is a chat-and-cut / this isn't a chat-and-cut / i'm the king of chat-and-cut I know a chat-and-cut.' ect ectI also liked the moment of self-awareness, cf.

For most works of classic literature, a movie has been made. Whether it follows the book or not, well, that's a different story. In almost every book-to-film adaptation, parts end up being changed or altogether cut from the original novel, and, of course, some movies adapt a book better than others. What makes a good adaptation? A good adaptation doesn't have to quote the entire book to be faithful, although it is important that it include portions of the original text. But just as importantly, it should capture the spirit and feel of the book, and the cast needs to capture the personality and essence of the characters. Here, listed below, are the top 5 best film adaptations I've seen followed by 5 of the worst.
5. Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Green Gables: The Sequel (1985 and 1987, starring Megan Follows)
These two were terrific. They followed the books very closely (especially the first book), and the casting was absolutely perfect. Megan Follows made such a great Anne. The second one is my personal favorite, but they are both faithful adaptations.
4. Sense and Sensibility (1995, starring Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet)
While this movie didn't follow the book exactly, and some characters were missing, it certainly did a fantastic job. It really captured the spirit of Austen's novel, and the added scenes were ones that you could imagine actually happening in the book.
3. Sherlock Holmes (TV series, 1984, starring Jeremy Brett)
This was the absolute best Sherlock Holmes adaptation. There were moments when I was quoting the book as Mr. Brett was speaking his lines. There were a few episodes where I was like, "What? This never happened!" but 99% of the time, it stuck super-close to the book. And you can't beat Jeremy Brett's Holmes. He was Holmes. Absolutely fantastic.
2. My Fair Lady (1964, starring Audrey Hepburn)
I adore My Fair Lady. It stuck to the play, Pygmalion (the play it was based on), faithfully, added some great songs, and even a satisfying ending, making it a wonderful adaptation. Hepburn perfectly captured the main character, Eliza Doolittle. Here's one of my favorite songs from the movie:
1. The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit (2001-2003 and 2012-2014, starring Elijah Wood in The Lord of the Rings and Martin Freeman in The Hobbit)
I know, I know. I know what the Tolkien purists are saying now, "What? Peter Jackson … he ruined the books! He changed so much!" Yeah, he changed stuff, but the changes he made, made sense. He created a fantastic series of movies, and without them, I doubt there would be as many Tolkienites as there are now. Even though there were changes, I still believe the movies did a great job of presenting and adapting the books for screen. And just in case there's someone who hasn't seen it yet (and because I want to share it!) here's trailer number 2 for The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug.
5. Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story (2000, starring Megan Follows)
What happened?! How could the people who made the first two wonderful Anne of Green Gables movies make this bomb of a third. Did they lose their minds? It was as if they took the characters of Anne and Gilbert and ran with them off to Europe and a World War and forgot there was ever a book.
4. Treasure Planet (2002, starring Joseph Gordon-Levett)
One time when I was sick with a cold and bored, I decided to try this animated movie. It couldn't be horrible, right? Oh, yes, it could. I didn't even finish it, it was so bad. It's based around Treasure Island, and boy, did they ruin it. They stuck everyone in space, for one. For two, Jim Hawkins was a whiny, troubled teen, and I couldn't stand him. Lastly, they ruined Captain Smollett. They turned him into a her, named Captain Amelia. The worst part was … Amelia was a cat. Yes, a cat. Now, I like cats, I just don't like cats to be Smollett. Right now for school I am reading the book, and every time I read about Smollett, I just picture Amelia. I'm forever confused because of this bad movie. XD
3. The Jungle Book (1967, starring Phil Harris)
The reason it made my worst list is because it barely followed the book. You can disagree, but in this case, I think it was a good thing. I didn't particularly enjoy the novel The Jungle Book (except for Rikki Tikki Tavi), but I loved the movie. So, in a way, this could be considered a great adaptation because it took a book I disliked and turned it into a great movie.
2. Frankenstein (1931, starring Colin Clive)
In my post called "Going Where No Book Has Gone Before," I related that the novel Frankenstein was mentioned in Star Trek: Enterprise. Well, in the episode, Commander Charles "Trip" Tucker told Sub-Commander T'Pol that the film selected for that night's movie night was Frankenstein. Now, Trip is my favorite character from Enterprise, but he has no taste in movies. In Frankenstein no one could act, and the movie didn't follow the book at all. They changed Victor Frankenstein's name to Henry. Elizabeth wasn't killed by the monster either. The monster was laughable, at best. I guess the public liked it though, because the filmmakers went on to make the movies The Bride of Frankenstein, The Son of Frankenstein, The Ghost of Frankenstein, and The House of Frankenstein. Here's the trailer:
1. Heidi (1937, starring Shirley Temple)
It's been years since I've seen this, but the very first movie that came to mind for the worst category was this one. The movie had very little of the original book in it. It was really just a showcase for Shirley Temple who made a terrible Heidi. The scene I can still picture is Grandfather running through the streets of a city, screaming for Heidi because she was kidnapped by gypsies, which, of course, never happened in the book. Actually, after some digging, I managed to find the clip on YouTube. It's as horrible as I remember.
From Heidi to The Lord of the Rings, I hoped you've enjoyed my list of the best and worst film adaptations. Do you agree with my choices or disagree? Which ones are your favorites?

Project Nursery: Finished
So I've been a little MIA recently, but mostly it's because I've been trying to get everything ready for the baby (see? I have a good excuse).
Anyway to make up for my absence I give you – photos of the nursery!
So happy it's actually livable now. I wanted it to be a very calm space. While I know babies need to be stimulated, I really only expect him to be in there when he's sleeping/nursing so I don't want too many distractions.
Here's the breakdown on everything:
We got from Ashley furniture (Dresser is called Naomi, chair is called San Marco). My husband was able to negotiate to get them both for $899 with delivery (he's so smart).
The dresser was a bit larger than we anticipated but now we have tons of storage space. The chair is a leather rocker recliner (so no need for an ottoman). Both are dark brown (I know they look almost black in the pics).
Caden Convertible Crib by Rockland from JCPenny. Originally it was $349 but it was on sale AND I found a coupon and got free shipping so we only paid $169.
The furniture was delivered earlier than anticipated and we had to rearrange it about 10 times to get it all to fit – so I didn't have the mental stamina to move it all again to paint. In lieu of paint, I made some more bunting to add some color.
Wall Decor:
I designed, printed and framed everything myself. Since I'm a designer I liked the alphabet because it's got a nice mix of fonts. The smaller pieces are quotes taken from the book "Love You Forever" which my mom used to read to my brother.
I also made all the bedding/pillows (I got a little bit overly-ambitious). I couldn't find anything I liked for a cribskirt till I found this striped material.
Since I had a decent amount left over I made the two matching pillows as well. Also I custom made my Boppy cover (more on that to come soon) so everything ended up matching. Whew! This baby has already become a lot of work and he's not even here yet!

The nursery looks fabulous. I was wondering if you could share the fonts you used for the prints in the nursery. I would love to re-create them for our nursery! Thanks!

Hi! I came across your site searching the internet far and wide for an instruction manual on the Rockland Caden crib. This blog came up in the results because it looks like that is the crib you used in your adorable nursery! Is there any chance that you still have the manual and would be willing to share pictures or scans of the pages with me? I would be forever grateful as I've had no luck at all trying to get this information including contacting JCPennys and Rockland directly 🙁

V. Flusser, Writing Versus Thinking
From Google Books
Note To Self: Derridada
From Amazon: "Jacques Derrida said that deconstruction 'takes place everywhere.' Derridada reexamines the work of artist Marcel Duchamp as one of these places. Tucker suggests that Duchamp belongs to deconstruction as much as deconstruction belongs to Duchamp. Both bear the infra-thin mark of the other. He explores these marks through the themes of time and diffZrance, language and the readymade, and the construction of self-identity through art. This book will be of interest to students and scholars interested in Modernism and the avant-garde. It will be useful for undergraduate students of art history, modernism, and critical theory, as well as for graduate students of philosophy, visual culture studies, and art theory."
The Origin of the Spectacle
From merriam webster: "Middle English, from Anglo-French, from Latin spectaculum, from spectareto watch, frequentative of specere to look, look at — more at spy
b : an object of curiosity or contempt <made a spectacle of herself>
Debord's Language and Critical Metaphysics
Nathalie Quintane: "With Debord there is never any doubt regarding the necessity of returning to the classical canon, he clings to this style. Thesis 204-206 in The Society of the Spectacle expresses this clearly: on should not touch the syntax (the classical), nor the vocabulary (marxist & enlightenment); this «style of rebellion» reminds of some kind of musical chairs (called «détournement») which is about replacing the subject with the predicate («reversing the genitive») – Debord gives us the famous example with the transition from the misery of philosophy to the philosophy of misery, believing the Holy Grail then to be found."
Why this aversion to classical theory? And Why this ironical use of religious artifacts? The problem with the spectacle is it's metaphysical implications. We need a critical metaphysics. But what is critical metaphysics? Tiqunn writes: "It does not escape us that "'metaphysical'- exactly like 'abstract' and even 'thinking'- has become a word before which everyone more or less takes flight as before a plague victim." (Hegel). And it is certainly with a shiver of wicked joy, and the worrying certitude that we're going right to the wound, that we bring back into the center what the triumphant frivolity of our times believed it had forever repressed to the periphery. In so doing, we also have the effrontery to claim that we're not just giving in to some sophistical caprice, but to an imperious necessity inscribed in history. Critical Metaphysics is not just one more piece of blather about the way the world is going; nor is it just the latest piece of heady speculation with some particular intelligence to it – it is the most real thing contained in our times. Critical Metaphysics is in everyone's guts. Whatever we might protest about this, there is no doubt that people will try to say we were the inventors of Critical Metaphysics, so as to hide the fact that it existed already before finding its formulation, that it was already everywhere, in the state of emptiness behind suffering, in the denial behind entertainment, in the motives behind consumption, or, obviously, in anxiety. It's clearly a part of all the sordid spinelessness, the incurable banality, and the repugnant insignificance of the times called "modern" that it's made metaphysics the apparently innocent leisure activity of learned men in stiff suits, and that it's reduced it to the sole exercise proper to insects like that: a kind of platonic mandibulation. Merely by virtue of the fact that it is not reducible to conceptual experience, Critical Metaphysics is the experience that fundamentally denies an inept "modernity", and, with open eyes, celebrates more each day the excesses of the disaster."
Quintane mentioned some of Debord's paragraphs, they are quoted under (from Marxist.org):
Critical theory must be communicated in its own language. It is the language of contradiction, which must be dialectical in form as it is in content. It is critique of the totality and historical critique. It is not "the nadir of writing" but its inversion. It is not a negation of style, but the style of negation.
In its very style. the exposition of dialectical theory is a scandal and an abomination in terms of the rules and the corresponding tastes of the dominant language, because when it uses existing concrete concepts it is simultaneously aware of their rediscovered fluidity, their necessary destruction.
This style which contains its own critique must express the domination of the present critique over its entire past. The very mode of exposition of dialectical theory displays the negative spirit within it. "Truth is not like a product in which one can no longer find any trace of the tool that made it" (Hegel). This theoretical consciousness of movement, in which the movement's very trace must be evident, manifests itself by the inversion of the established relations between concepts and by the diversion of all the acquisitions of previous critique. The inversion of the genetive is this expression of historical revolutions, consigned to the form of thought, which was considered Hegel's epigrammatic style. The young Marx, recommending the technique Feuerbach had systematically used of replacing the subject with the predicate, achieved the most consistent use of this insurrectional style, drawing the misery of philosophy out of the philosophy of misery. Diversion leads to the subversion of past critical conclusions which were frozen into respectable truths, namely transformed into lies. Kierkegaard already used it deliberately, adding his own denunciation to it: "But despite all the tours and detours, just as jam always returns to the pantry, you always end up by sliding in a little word which isn't yours and which bothers you by the memory it awakens" (Philosophical Fragments). It is the obligation of distance toward what was falsified into official truth which determines the use of diversion, as was acknowledged by Kierkegaard in the same book: "Only one more comment on your numerous allusions aiming at all the grief I mix into my statements of borrowed sayings. I do not deny it here nor will I deny that it was voluntary and that in a new continuation to this pamphlet, if I ever write it, I intend to name the object by its real name and to clothe the problem in historical attire."
Confusions With Barnabas In Kafkas The Castle
Barnabas (an early Christian)
Barabbas, or
Jesus Barabbas (prisoner) and
Jesus Christ and
Peter (Jesus' disciple)
Paul (the Apostle)
Paul (characther in Haneke's Funny Games)
Peter (characther in Haneke's Funny Games)
Barnabas (character in Kafka's The Castle)
K. sees Barnabas as a Hermes figure sent from the gods of the Castle, a figure who shines in his immanence. His name also alludes to the biblical apostle Barnabas, a messenger of Christ, who traveled with St. Paul to spread the word, imbued with that word of God. K. wants to believe in Barnabas immanence because then Barnabas is not only a connection to the Castle but its explainer, its messenger imbued with the truth. But Barnabas presented himself to the Castle as a messenger in hope of mitigating Amalia's crime of insulting the messenger who had brought Sortini's lewd letter. Because their motives are unpredictable they become frightening. In Funny Games, Paul tells the terrified family that Peter had a terrible childhood, and then laughs and says in fact "he's a spoiled little shit."

I saw an article on Twitter on loving your cancer: http://omtimes.com/2014/08/loving-cancer-good-health/ My knee-jerk reaction was, "Are you crazy??" Love… I mean… Love something that has the potential to kill me or at the very least cause me a whole lot of misery? Love? Ok, so I read the article and it was good. More thoughts on that later.
My nightly research, wandering, link-hopping led me on a further path that had this love theme coming up regularly. My dear friend, Michelle, gave me the link to some music, which took me to Youtube and, being the compulsive link-clicker I am, I was soon going on to other related music. One link led to another and I found myself revisiting Ho'oponopono. Ho'oponopono is a Hawaiian practice of forgiveness and love. There is a lot to it, but, in short, it is a prayer you recite with healing intention:
I'm sorry
I love you
Please forgive me
Thank you
This prayer can be directed at any one or any thing. At no time does it mean you condone the 'wrong' that's been done. This is also no pat, meaningless apology, just heartfelt love and a letting go of all negative emotions relating to the person, event, thing – or yourself. Yes, you could say it to yourself or parts of yourself.
I've used this prayer before, though very rarely. To be honest, I usually forget it exists. Once, I had a confrontation with a colleague at work. The next day, I dreaded going to work fully expecting a continuation of the confrontation – I don't do confrontation very well – as the situation hadn't been resolved the day before. In my flurry of tension over the situation, I decided to do some Ho'oponopono. I, rather dramatically, held my hand over my heart, focussed on the colleague and recited the prayer a few times. Arriving at work, the colleague couldn't have been nicer. She apologised! She also explained why she'd acted the way she had. Now I don't know if what happened was a result of the Ho'oponopono or just co-incidence. I'm going to choose to believe my little forgiveness ritual had its desired effect. I've used it since on other situations and had good effect. It may well just be because of my own mental state being altered. That's also good.
Going through my mailbox a little later, a sentence jumped out at me, "What's wrong with you?" It's what we're asked when something's out of place. Or simply a "What's wrong?" There's so much negativity and fear in those words. It's something that's been brought home to me over and over with this cancer deal. Fear. Negativity. The doctor's tone dropped to indicate severity. It was all over his voice and body language long before he got the words out, which were also negative, "I'm afraid I have to give you the news…" Why afraid? Why all the fear around cancer? Oh I can understand the fear! I can understand the anger, nay, the rage. I can understand the upset. But that's the whole problem with sickness in our society. It's wrapped up in fear because we aren't in control of our bodies. We've handed that control over to the medical institutions and the supermarkets.
Today, I choose to take back control. I choose to love this thing that's teaching me so much – ok, I'll at least try. I choose to forgive my body for betraying me and this tumour for turning my life upside down. I choose to love my body and give it what it needs, treating it well. I choose to make mindful choices with what I put into my body. It's my home, after all, and the vessel I will live in for many years to come. In moving into a home, I like to paint it a bright colour and make it beautiful, choosing my furnishings carefully. Why not with my body?
So, to this cancer I say…
I'm sorry
I love you
Please forgive me
Thank you

The U.S. Grocery Market: Is it Just One Cent at Stake?
There are high stakes in the battle for the future of the U.S. grocery market, but it should not be determined by a one-cent difference.
The whole retail and business world is watching the battle of the giants that is happening now in various parts of the United States, where Lidl is rolling out its operations. Plans are quite aggressive: Lidl is planning up to 100 stores by next summer, and Aldi plan up to an additional 900 in the next 5 years.
Media are busy with obsessive score keeping: Lidl is one cent cheaper on mustard, Aldi beat them by one cent on milk, Walmart and Kroger are not more than one cent away from the "leader" of the race, and local players are just trying to keep up.
How long can this go on? Do we need a crystal ball to predict what will be the end state of this power game? I believe there are some insights from other markets that we can use, adjusting and extrapolating them to understand the future of the U.S. grocery market.
Insights from Other Markets
In every country there is a segment of consumers who will routinely shop in 5-6 grocery locations, cherry-picking the deals. But if a retailer makes price matching the only – or even the core – pillar of their commercial pricing strategy, they risk losing out on the other shopper segments. Other segments of shoppers who look for a fair price, who appreciate convenience and are ready to pay more for a specific shopping occasion, shoppers who value brands for their innovation and emotional appeal, shoppers who go for a high-quality private label, shoppers who enjoy shopping in a friendly store or who use a home delivery when needed.
Instead of a crystal ball, let's look at some European markets where the – already legendary – German discounters Aldi and Lidl made their entrance some time ago. Let's take the UK and Benelux markets, for example. In both geographies, the discounters made their initial entrance more than two decades ago, in the beginning of the 1990's in Benelux and in 1994 in the UK. In Benelux, they currently have a larger share than in the UK, at 18% vs 12%. But unlike the Benelux situation, in the UK they have taken this share from the "Big 4", i.e., supermarket chains who have – in my humble opinion – indulged too much in playing the "price match" game and not enough in playing on their own field.
Healthy Scenario for U.S. Grocery Market
So, is there a healthy scenario for grocery market developments in the U.S.? I believe, yes, and not only is it possible, but also very probable. It will be largely determined by the position that the current main players take. We all know "demand creates supply", but it is valid the other way around as well. Supermarkets and convenience chains should not give up creating a quality value proposition to their core segment only because of the "angst" of seeing German discounters coming.
A healthy U.S. grocery scenario can have several elements, and it will be influenced not only by Aldi and Lidl. They will, hopefully, put some pressure – long term, not short term – on creative, good value propositions in private labels. Attention to Key Value Items (KVIs) must be sharpened even more, and pricing the rest of the assortment according to the specific shopper insights of each individual retailer will grow in relative importance as well. Retailers will need to become more surgical not only in the types of promotional offers they produce, but which communication channels and vehicles they use to communicate. The latest factor, the recent announcement of Amazon's intent to acquire Whole Foods, will not only put pressure on the overall price levels in grocery, but even more so increase the importance of how comprehensive the omnichannel proposition of each retailer is.
All of these elements of shopping experience need to be properly priced – or have a proper data-driven perspective on pricing. Only then will the equation make sense not only for consumers but also to your CFO and shareholders. If U.S. retailers want to play smart, they must focus each and every day on how to leverage technology and data science to create a value equation that is not only compelling to the consumer, but also profitable for the retailer.

Book: Gone With the Wind, by Margaret Mitchell
Genre: Classic fiction (Pulitzer Prize winner 1937)
Where I got it: I borrowed a copy from the library and began with that. But at over 1,000 pages the volume is huge; I found it uncomfortable for reading in bed and impractical for my commute. So I downloaded a Kindle copy and read most of it on that.
Length: 1,472 pages
Briefly, it's set in Georgia during and after the American Civil War, and follows in particular the ups and downs of Scarlett O'Hara, her journey from riches to poverty and back to riches again, her loves and hates, her strengths and weaknesses, and her growth in self-
Comments: I had neither read the book nor seen the movie before. Goodness! How did I get to this point of my life without exposure to this work? It's marvellous! It's a book that could be discussed and studied for a very, very long time. Commentaries on it abound. I'm glad I read the preface by Pat Conroy in my library edition (Pocket Books Fiction – you'd need a fairly big pocket!) for an understanding of the significance of a book written from the perspective of the women on the losing side of the Civil War. But don't bother too much with the commentaries, just read the book.
Challenges: Back to the Classics Challenge, for the (optional) category A Classic That's Been Adapted Into a Movie or TV Series. I'm now looking forward to watching the movie, even though I hadn't initially planned to!

Pick a spot in your garden and dig out a hole at least a few inches deep. You're going to be planting much deeper than your seedling sat in the cube tray.
Lots of how-to articles tell you to plant your seedlings lying down – this is especially helpful if you don't have enough depth of quality soil. I do this by default, to encourage root stability and to keep them closer to the warm surface during the early stages of growth.
After you've dug your hole, sprinkle some fertilizer in (high middle number stuff, remember?).
Then throw in a handful or two of compost or manure. Be sure to mix it around with your hands or a garden shovel. You don't want to plant your seedling directly into a pile of fertilizer pellets. The roots will burn and the dream will be OVER real quick.
Pruning from day one
Pinch off the very bottom two branches. There should be two sitting fairly close to the soil in your cube tray. These are unnecessary and this portion of the stem is going to be buried anyway.
Plant seedlings lying down
Seedlings lying down, not you lying down! Lie your seedling down in the hole with the main leafy portion of the plant still above ground.
Bury the stem
Bury the stem and roots and pack the soil down nicely. Don't pack it too hard or you'll break the main stem.
Now water it. A lot. And if there's risk of frost overnight, put something over it that allows air circulation but won't allow frost to settle downward. I use lawn chairs.
Remember: Tomato plants need full sun and lots of water.

Maldives president Mohamed Nasheed, the country's first democratically elected leader in three decades, has resigned amid protests that led to a group of police officers to mutiny and take over the state television broadcasting station in the capital Male.
Tensions have erupted over the last three weeks after the army arrested a senior criminal court judge, Abdulla Mohamed, for alleged corruption. He remains in custody despite calls for his release.
A group of police officers took over the state broadcaster and began to play messages in support of the former autocratic president, Maumoon Abdul Gayoom.
Nasheed's office said the government had taken all necessary measures to stabilise the situation.
A source close to Nasheed described the developments as a "coup by the former regime".
Nasheed announced his resignation during a nationally televised address. "It will be better for the country in the current situation if I resign. I don't want to run the country with an iron fist. I am resigning," the BBC reported.
He is expected to hand over power to Vice-President Muhammad Waheed Hassan.
A delegation from the UN Department of Political Affairs headed by assistant secretary-general Oscar Fernandez-Taranco was due to arrive to broker a resolution to the political crisis.
The Maldives, a country of 1,192 Indian Ocean islands scattered across the Equator, is famous for its upmarket holiday resorts and hotels that cater for honeymooning couples and wealthy tourists.

It was announced this morning that Ferrari protege Raffaele Marciello will be Sauber's test and reserve driver for the 2015 Formula 1 season.
Marciello, a long-time member of Ferrari's driver academy programme, made his F1 testing debut for the Maranello squad in Abu Dhabi last month.
The 20-year-old Italian will combine a second season of GP2 with his Sauber commitments, staying on with the Racing Engineering team in the F1 feeder category.
In his interview with the media today, Marciello is delighted to have signed as a reserve driver for the Sauber team, Marciello stated the following:-
'I am really pleased to become a member of the Sauber F1 team, which has a long tradition of building up excellent drivers. I really think that this is the best choice for my future career.
'I am also happy to compete for one more season in the GP2 Series, which, together with my new F1 role, will give me a very busy 2015 season.'
It is clear for all to see that Marciello is delighted to have signed as a reserve driver for Sauber next season and why wouldn't he be. As he rightly points out Sauber have given young drivers such as Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa a platform and a foundation to develop their skills as a driver which has seen both drivers driving for Ferrari in their careers for example and Marciello knows that this opportunity could also not only be the best option for him and his career right now but also the chance to gain experience within the sport in the process.
But even though Marciello does have other racing commitments in 2015 with competing in the GP2 series, I am sure that he will be able to balance effectively both commitments without compromising his ability to perform on the track at every single race or opportunity to test in Formula One next season.
In her own interview with the media, Sauber Team Principal Monisha Kaltenborn said Marciello's deal with her Ferrari-powered squad included some appearances in grand prix practice sessions. Kaltenborn stated the following about signing Marciello to the Sauber team next season:-
'He proved his great talent in junior formulas, and his season in the European Formula 3 Championship with 13 wins and the title victory was particularly impressive.
'We will give Raffaele the opportunity to become familiar with Formula 1, which also includes him taking part in some free practice sessions on Fridays.'
From what Kaltenborn has stated this morning, it is clear that Marciello's showing in the European Formula 3 Championship this season has been a factor in the team signing him up as a reserve driver next season. And you can understand why Sauber have provided him with the opportunity especially after achieving 13 wins which is a fantastic achievement to have under his belt and giving him this opportunity is a reflection of his hard work this season and also Sauber believing that he is more than talented enough to acquire the opportunity to gain some Formula One experience next season.
However, even though Marciello is clearly talented enough by what he has shown this season, you could also say that Sauber's arrangement with Ferrari as their engine supplier could have also had a factor in Sauber's decision to sign him up for next season.
Personally, this arrangement for me could benefit both parties in regards to Sauber could receive more updates on their engine throughout the course of the season in exchange for giving Marciello an opportunity to develop his talent further by acquiring some Formula One experience which could prove very handy for him if he was to gain a Formula One race seat in the near future.
But overall, it is clear that Sauber signing Marciello as a reserve driver for the 2015 season is an arrangement that both parties are happy with and both are looking forward to the new season ahead in partnership together.
It is clear that Marciello has done a superb job in the European Formula 3 championship this season to have been selected by Sauber and to be given a chance to nurture and develop more as a driver and as a talent by acquire some Formula One experience that could prove very handy for him in the near future.
As Marciello rightly points out himself, Sauber are known as a team that has brought in young and talented drivers over the years such as Raikkonen and have given them a chance to shine and also develop as a driver that has allowed them to gain a race seat in the sport.
This opportunity could be very beneficial for Marciello to develop more as a driver and acquire more experience in the sport. Because as we know Marciello is a Ferrari Academy driver and even though Ferrari supply Sauber their engines, you could say that Ferrari may have had a hand in this but does not take away the fact that he has the talent to succeed.
All Marciello can do is show Sauber (also Ferrari as well) what he can do in a GP2 and Formula One car next season, get to know both of his team behind the scenes and how they work and concentrate on getting the best of himself and car when the opportunity presents itself on the track. I look forward to seeing how he performs at Sauber over the course of next season.

Today the city is overflowing with tributes to its Irish heritage in the form of Pubs, Gaelic Football teams (The Boston Shamrocks), whole areas of South Boston, and certainly the ceremonial dying the river green for St. Patrick's day.

Who are Cameron's 'Great Ignored' ?
Cameron's opening salvo in the election campaign was about the 'Great Ignored'.
At first glance, it may look like he is talking about marginalised, excluded and vulnerable groups. Listen more closely to what he actually said however, and it seems to be more of an appeal to 'law-abiding' middle England. [HT to @doctorcdf who points out that this is a remix of Nixon's 'silent majority']
It will become clearer, no doubt, as the ethics election progresses, what he means. However, some questions that we might legitimately ask are with regard to those whose will either unable to vote, or whose votes will simply not count:
- Does he mean prisoners who have no vote in this election?
- Does he mean asylum seekers?
- Does he mean those under the age of 18 who have no vote?
- Does he mean the millions of people who will vote for smaller parties and independents, who, because there is no proportional system of voting, will have no immediate voice in this election?
A further note of warning perhaps comes in that he ommitted the reference to 'gay and straight' from his speech?
One suspects that he is actually defining who is 'ignored' on his own, narrow terms. In other words, ignoring a whole lot of people, who are...er...ignored.
[Update: 18.29 Joe Walker (@JoeStreetAction) from Street Action also makes an important point, which I should have included above, and that is that the 'Great Ignored' also include those beyond our shores who have been marginalised by successive UK Governments. Read more here ]

IATI pilot project 'Establishment of a "Research, Demonstration and Training Facility for Decentralized Wastewater and Sludge Management" in Oman' (IATI-WW)
IATI-WW is a pilot project in the frame work of the Institute of Advanced Technology Integration (IATI). The aim of IATI-WW is to establish a research and demonstration facility for decentralized wastewater treatment in Oman.
The project's purpose is to provide IATI with a "Research, Demonstration and Training Facility for Decentralized Wastewater and Sludge Management" (Wastewater-R&D-Facility) enabling IATI to assume a leading role in the field of applied research in the Sultanate of Oman and to support the implementation of such management systems in the country.
Figure 1: Sizes and classification of decentralized wastewater treatment solutions
At the Wastewater-R&D-Facility, IATI will be able to independently test, evaluate and adapt various treatment technologies in order to effectively address the Sultanate's specific challenges (wastewater quality and quantity, climate conditions, reuse options, etc.) associated to decentralized wastewater and sludge management. The facility includes a demonstration site where international companies can present their technologies related to decentralized wastewater management. Besides the demonstration of existing technologies the facility will also provide means to adapt and further develop technologies in close cooperation with local and international companies.
Furthermore, the Wastewater-R&D-Facility will also serve as a capacity development center. The capacity development program will address the topics of technology, operation and maintenance, GIS analysis and technology certification for target Omani groups in the field of higher education, administration, and the public.
As part of the proposed project, applied research activities will be carried out at the Helmholtz Research, Demonstration, and Training facility for Decentralized Wastewater Treatment in Germany and a comparative scenario approach for decentralized wastewater management will be applied for the Dhofar region utilizing the GIS-based Decision Support Tool which has been specifically developed at the UFZ for optimizing decentralized wastewater management scenarios.
The introduction and implementation of decentralized wastewater technologies in Oman will be strongly supported by a customized capacity development. It addresses the topics of technology, operation and maintenance, GIS analysis and certification for target groups in the field of higher education, administration, and industry.

To hear executives at inBloom tell it, their $100 million education technology start-up is shutting down after only 15 months of operation because it was too far ahead of its time.
The seed money for this nonprofit corporation came from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, along with the Carnegie Corporation of New York. InBloom aimed to streamline personalized learning — analyzing information about individual students to customize lessons to them — in public schools. It planned to collect and integrate student attendance, assessment, disciplinary and other records from disparate school-district databases, put the information in cloud storage and release it to authorized web services and apps that could help teachers track each student's progress.
But the program ran into strident opposition from a number of parents and privacy advocates. They warned that school district officials were unequipped to manage, or even audit, how outside vendors might use delicate material — like a student's disability status. The resistance culminated a few weeks ago, when the New York State Legislature passed a budget that prohibited state education officials from releasing student data to amalgamators like inBloom.
On Monday, Iwan Streichenberger, inBloom's chief executive, portrayed his enterprise as a victim of erroneous censure — and announced that it was folding.
"The use of technology to tailor instruction for individual students is still an emerging concept and inBloom provides a technical solution that has never been seen before," he wrote in a letter posted on the inBloom site. "As a result, it has been the subject of mischaracterizations and a lightning rod for misdirected criticisms."
Start-ups, of course, habitually flop. Because of inBloom's pedigree backing, however, it became a symbol of the push to technologize education.
"I think other companies have been happy to let inBloom take the punches because it deflects attention away from what they are doing," Doug Levin, the executive director of the State Educational Technology Directors Association, a nonprofit membership group, told me last week. "Now, with inBloom closing, it is going to raise broader questions, as it should, about the practices of the industry as a whole."
(Mr. Levin's group receives financing from Google for Education, Microsoft, Pearson and other companies.)
Indeed, inBloom's implosion is a cautionary tale for the nearly $8 billion business of prekindergarten-through-12th-grade education technology software. Some education veterans told me that inBloom's demise indicated that the industry had been rushing to sell data-driven concepts before establishing evidence that automated data-mining of students improved their success in school.
"If this is still an 'emerging concept,' why are we implementing it?" asks Ken Mitchell, the superintendent of the South Orangetown Central School District in Blauvelt, N.Y.
InBloom became a flash point for questions dogging the industry: How does the profit motive tally with public education? How responsible are companies for student data privacy? What if Congress updates the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, a 40-year-old student privacy law, to keep pace with innovation?
For years, school districts have collected details about students and shared them with outside vendors — for instance, providing school bus companies with information on students' physical disabilities. The federal student education privacy law allows this type of data-sharing under an exception permitting schools to outsource school functions to third parties.
But many parents weren't aware of the practice until they discovered that inBloom made it possible to categorize students with sensitive labels: Autistic. Tardy. A.D.H.D. Removed by child protective services. Parent in military. Homeless. Pregnant. Witness. Perpetrator. Victim.
To some parents, inBloom's aims seemed conflicted. It proposed to serve as the gatekeeper of this volatile personal information — all the while offering to aid the software industry. It planned to provide a standardized data platform around which vendors could create products to market to multiple districts.
"We are not creating commercial apps," Mr. Streichenberger, the inBloom chief, told me in a phone interview last year. "Our role is to sit in the middle, to facilitate that innovation." He added: "There are tools that come in, mine and analyze the data and make recommendations."
Given inBloom's challenges, some companies are emphasizing that they have a different business model. Consider eScholar, which sells data warehousing software to about 5,000 school districts across the country. This 17-year-old company doesn't repurpose student data for other ventures. In fact, eScholar doesn't store student records; schools run its software and aggregate student data on their own sites.
"It is for us a tremendous sense of clarity that we are getting paid by educators to do what they need done," Shawn Bay, eScholar's chief executive, told me.
InBloom also ran into opposition because it seemed intended to maximize data collection — while leaving it up to school officials to decide which student information to upload and which companies should be allowed access to it.
"All of the decisions about what data is stored and what applications are approved and what users can see that data in those applications are all a local customer decision," Sharren Bates, an inBloom executive, said last year.
A subsequent study by researchers at Fordham Law School in Manhattan concluded that schools weren't prepared to navigate the issue on their own: Some had signed contracts with vendors without specifying the kinds of student information they could collect or limiting its use.
Trade associations and nonprofit groups have since offered recommendations on how to handle student data; a number of states have enacted, or introduced, legislation that would restrict its proliferation.
"There need to be rules of the road," said Mr. Levin at the state education technology directors group. "I think the inBloom case establishes that we don't know what the rules of the road are."

Fall Report: Arizona StateFall Report
Perennial power Arizona State would love nothing more than to restore order in 2018.
The Sun Devils have had some mixed results since coach Tracy Smith took over three years ago. His first two years in charge saw some success, as the Devils finished those campaigns with 35 and 36 wins, respectively. Most importantly, those campaigns ended with NCAA tournament appearances.
Contrast those campaigns with last season, where the Devils finished with an overall record of 23-32, along with a Pac-12 mark of 8-22. The season was a disappointment for Smith and his coaching staff, and a shock to many in the college baseball community.
In addition to the losses on the field, the losses mounted in the clubhouse, too, as the Devils dealt with some suspensions and more throughout the season. The best news following fall workouts? All appears to be very well in the clubhouse this go-round.
"I really liked the clubhouse vibe this fall. You've got a bunch of guys who totally understand the mission at Arizona State, they get along, and they have a common goal. It's a lot of fun to be in the locker room right now," Smith said. "I love the work ethic piece that these guys are about right now. They want to be better and they want to be around each other. Again, it's a lot of fun."
While the Sun Devils, as with everyone else this time of year, have some holes as the spring nears, there's some definite potential with this group.
The Devils have some key pieces in different areas. For instance, Gage Canning and Hunter Bishop are back in the outfield and both are capable of putting together monster campaigns. There's also Carter Aldrete, who has improved since last season, and Jeremy McCuinn, who is ASU's do-it-all in the field.
On the mound, Spencer Van Scoyoc and Eli Lingos give the Devils a couple of potentially terrific options in the weekend rotation, while the third starting job is up in the air with Jake Godfrey, a hard-throwing veteran, and a newcomer in the mix.

If you are reading these words, you are in the minority. The Swine Health and Production readership survey, sent to a random sample of 100 AASP members last summer, indicates that few of you (45%) read this From the Editor column. The good news is that the majority of you read the Case Studies (88%), Original Research (77%), Production Tools (75%), and Literature Reviews (70%). The readership for Brief Communications was a little lower (66%), perhaps because this is a new genre category for SHAP. I was interested to learn that many of you use author and topic as criteria to determine whether you'll read a manuscript. In this month's column, I'd like to bring to your attention another tool we provide to help you decide whether to read an article.
All the articles we publish in Swine Health and Production are assigned a genre category--for example, "Original Research," "Case Report," "Production Tool," etc.--which is indicated at the top of the first page of each article. This category is intended as a means to help you, as a reader, orient yourself to the material you'll be encountering in the article itself. Each type of article has a different purpose and is therefore presented in its own genre-appropriate manner. Case Studies describe herd health problems that are unique. They might be a new clinical presentation of an old disease, or a difficult diagnostic challenge, or a novel treatment protocol. Case Studies are meant to help you deal with similar cases in your practice. In Case Studies, you'll want to know the history of the farm, and whether the described case is similar to what you see in practice. Production Tools give you a new method or resource to use in practice. Original Research tests a hypothesis, elaborates the materials and methods used to test that hypothesis, and then draws conclusions from the results. Brief Communications are original research designs of a smaller scope.
Each of these genre types also uses different techniques to support the claims they contain:
- In Original Research and Brief Communications, claims are supported by the data that result from a carefully designed experimental apparatus that uses a statistically adequate number of experimental subjects, controls for potential confounders and bias, and proper techniques to statistically analyze its findings. This enables the authors of Original Research reports and Brief Communications to state fairly precisely the cause-effect relationships they've observed between the dependent and independent variables in the study.
- Case Studies, because they report findings that were gathered under field conditions, usually do not have controls. They do have the advantage of more closely imitating the types of conditions under which you will actually be practicing veterinary medicine. These types of studies allow their authors to claim credibly that the phenomena they observed are likely to be generalizable to some other practical situations.
- Production Tools are "methods" oriented, and instead of presenting an account of the discovery of new knowledge, they are meant to communicate a helpful new procedure. Because these methods are abstract and meant to be generalized over a variety of practical situations, they are generic enough to be helpful under almost any set of circumstances.
All articles in all of the genres are refereed and edited with equal rigor and care.
At times, we have authors who would prefer to have their manuscripts published under the "Original Research" genre rather than one of the others. In my opinion, each of these genres has equal value. They have a distinct purpose and format. All submitted manuscripts, regardless of genre, undergo the same rigorous peer review process. For example, I have published a Production Tool in Swine Health and Production that required as much creative energy and time as Original Research. Academics live by the mandate to "publish-or-perish." At my institution (the University of Guelph), a first-authored publication is valued equally for purposes of promotion and tenure, regardless of its genre.
A colleague of mine, Dr. Louis Perino, once told me that new scientific information does not become knowledge until it is published in a peer-reviewed journal. The reviewers and editors determine the appropriate genre category under which we'll publish a manuscript. By striving to present the material in each genre in a relatively consistent way, we hope to ensure that you receive the information you need in the format most appropriate for its type of new knowledge.

We all want to have smooth and radiant skin. Unfortunately, the accumulated effects of the sun, environment and lifestyle damage our skin and cause us to look older than we really are.
These Clinical skin care treatments are non-invasive procedures with no down time designed to promote cell growth and trick your skin into acting and looking the way it used to. Superior results are achieved with a series of 6 treatment peels spaced 3-6 weeks apart, depending on skin condition and desired results. We all want to have smooth and radiant skin.
TCA Peel: TCA peels (trichloroacetic acid) are a deep class of peels which penetrate the epidermis and upper layers of the dermis. These peels are the best for the client who is looking to erase hyper-pigmentation, lines, wrinkles and uneven skin texture caused by sun exposure.
$140 (per treatment), $420 (package of 4 peels)
Glycolic or Enzyme Peel: These peels are moderate peels which penetrate the epidermis only. Glycolics are ideal for the client who is seeing the first signs of premature aging.
$125 (per treatment), $250 (package of 3 peels)
Lactic Acid Peel: Lactic peels are the most gentle peels designed for all skin types. These peels are ideal for the client who is looking to brighten and smooth away skin imperfections while increasing skin hydration.
$125 (per treatment), $250 (package of 3 peels)
Salicylic Peel: A salicylic acid peel is a type of peel that is typically used to improve the appearance and condition of facial skin. As with other such treatments, salicylic acid peels are applied onto the skin, left on for a period of time, and then removed. Afterward, the damaged top layers of skin typically peel away over the next few days and are replaced by newer, smoother skin. A salicylic acid peel is often used to treat acne, improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, cleanse the pores, and improve skin tone and texture. It can also help to balance out the skin's oil production.
$125 (per treatment), $250 (package of 3 peels)
Obagi® Radiance Peel: The Radiance Peel can improve your skin's look, texture, and feel in a matter of minutes. Instant, radiant results for most skin types, improves a range of skin concerns, including photodamage, and results in an overall improvement in texture and tone, may be beneficial if you have darker skin with pigmentary changes, superficial exfoliation, with little to no downtime, provides instant radiance—tighter, smoother, brighter-looking skin after just one use, a series of four to six peels provides best overall results.
$125 (per treatment), $250 (package of 3 peels)

May 18, 1967
|We have 4 images of Dark Shadows 241
David is convinced that Maggie is the ghost of Josette, but the chance arrival of Roger prevents the truth emerging.
- My name is Victoria Winters. Two people will face a frightening fantasy of an existence out of the past. A young boy, who believes that he can communicate with an apparition. And a missing girl, who is unable to remember her true identity.
David sneaks back inside the Old House and resumes his search for Josette Collins. Hearing a melody, David turns to see Josette--actually Maggie, wearing Josette's wedding gown and carrying her music box. He hurries over to her and tells "Josette" how much he missed her, then asks where she's been. Maggie says that she's been in a place of death, but now she has come back.
Act I
Maggie begins to wander downstairs in a dreamlike daze whilst David expresses how glad he is to see "Josette" again. He notices the music box and Maggie explains it was a gift from someone. David also notes how this is the longest amount of time Josette has spent talking to him. Maggie insists she has something important to tell him, but she can't remember what. David admires the painting Sam Evans began, and the mention of Sam's name causes Maggie's memory to stir. But when David mentions Barnabas' name, Maggie becomes frightened and begins to back away. Suddenly, there is a knock at the door. It is Roger and Victoria. When David turns back to "Josette", she has gone.
Act II
David calls for Josette, then reluctantly opens the door. Roger scolds him; David lies and says he wasn't looking for ghosts and that he didn't see Josette. However, Victoria detects Josette's perfume. At that moment, Barnabas arrives and Roger apologizes for the intrusion. Again, David lies to cover up having seen "Josette". Roger admires the work-in-progress painting and remarks on its similarity to the Portrait of Barnabas hanging in the foyer as Collinwood. David is suddenly quite afraid of Barnabas and wants to return home. The trio say goodnight and depart. Once they have gone, Barnabas hangs up his Wolf's-head cane and coat, then ascends to the stairs to Josette's room.
Act III
Maggie is sitting at the dressing table listening to the music box when Barnabas comes in and angrily closes it. He questions her about David, Roger and Victoria, but she cannot remember if she saw them or not. Barnabas stresses the urgency that no one is to see her, and that if anyone comes to the house she must remain in her room. Maggie questions this, and Barnabas explains that people would not understand that she is Josette. Again, he attempts to brainwash her into believing she is his lost love. As Maggie repeats that she is Josette Collins, Barnabas smiles and plays the music box for her. A short while later, Sheriff Patterson arrives at the Old House and introduces himself to Barnabas. Barnabas inquires about the search for Maggie, and the Sheriff tells him there has been no break in the case as of yet. They then talk about Willie Loomis; Sheriff Patterson wants to verify Willie's alibi and Barnabas is all too happy to oblige. As the Sheriff is leaving, he hears the melody of the music box and Barnabas quickly explains it is an antique he left upstairs which he is restoring.
Act IV
At Collinwood, Roger is pouring himself a drink and continues to chastise David for disobeying him. He orders Victoria to have David write the definition of "honest" 50 times. Once David and Victoria are alone, she asks him about what he really saw down at the Old House. He eventually admits to having seen and spoken to "Josette". Victoria promises to keep this a secret and hurries David on up to bed. Just then, Sheriff Patterson arrives and informs Victoria and Roger that the search for Maggie is being scaled down. There are no clues or leads to keep the investigation going. Unless something turns up, the search will be abandoned completely. Back at the Old House, Maggie wanders downstairs playing the music box and calls out for David.

The difference between Greek and regular yogurt is simple. Sadly, many people are unsure what Greek yogurt is and are hesitant to even try it!
Greek yogurt is regular yogurt that it has gone through a special straining process during which the whey (liquid portion of the milk) is removed. Because the whey has been removed, Greek yogurt contains less lactose and less carbs. Greek yogurt has a lower sugar content and is thicker and richer than its cousin. Because it is more concentrated, it tends to contain more protein, which can help you feeling fuller longer.
When choosing Greek yogurt, opt for low-fat or non-fat varieties. If Greek yogurt is just not your thing, no problem. Both Greek or regular yogurt are healthy options and will provide you with beneficial calcium and probiotics.

What do I mean by this:
Sadistic praise is when the principal says something to the constrict that in a positive dynamic would be a compliment, but instead functions as emotional torture in some way. (Note: this is distinct from Your Approval Fills Me With Shame, where the villain compliments something the hero does not see as a positive quality at all. Here, the subject of the compliment is not a problem – the problem is the person doing the complimenting, and why they're doing it).
This tends to come in two flavors of what makes it sadistic.
- It's a threat. This tends to be common for compliments on the constrict's endurance, strength, courage, etc. In this case, a statement by the principal like "I can see why they call you the brave one" usually implies some form of "I'm going to do horrible things to you", whether in the form of "torturing you will be very entertaining", "I'm taking this as a challenge and you are going to lose", or something else.
- It's a form of negative closeness. This is the one sided kind, and is therefore intended to be violating and disturbing. It's a violation of the constrict's emotional boundaries. Complimenting is a form of personal interaction, and here the principal is engaging in this interaction without consent, toward a person who has the opposite of a reason to welcome absolutely any level of social or emotional intimacy from them. As such, it's a way of inflicting psychological torture.
Actionable counterpart:
I'm not sure. I think this falls into the category of things I'd need to try to figure out how I feel from/about them. I definitely do want to try and experiment with it.

Ashford University celebrated its fall commencement ceremony on Sunday, October 2. More than 7,500 students graduated since the University's last commencement ceremony in May. Roughly 1,000 of those graduates and nearly 4,630 guests traveled to San Diego to attend the commencement ceremony at Viejas Arena and receive their diplomas in person.
Ashford University President and CEO Dr. Craig Swenson delivered the keynote speech and Ashford alum and Guardian Scholar Clifton Hidds-Narcisse gave the alumni address during the commencement ceremony.
During his stirring speech, Dr. Swenson told the graduates, "Humanity is in desperate need of some victories right now. We need bridge builders. Your education has prepared you for just that. Who better than you to take on the responsibility? That is our challenge. Please accept my sincere congratulations on your achievement and my wishes for great success in your life with your family and in all your endeavors."
"While you soak up this moment of personal and collective acknowledgement, know that as special and unique as you may be, it is not the end of your story," Hidds-Narcisse told the graduating class. "You now owe it to yourself to make the most of the skills you have acquired and the natural talents you have honed."
The ceremony capped off a weekend of celebration which began on Saturday, October 1, with graduation festivities at Ashford's San Diego headquarters and a graduation celebration at Dave and Busters in San Diego for graduates and their families.
Ashford University's commencement ceremonies are held semi-annually. The spring 2017 commencement ceremony is planned for Sunday, May 21, 2017.
