Obama, Biden and Musk hacked on Twitter in attempt to scam millions of followers
TORONTO -- A sophisticated cyberattack on Wednesday hacked some of Twitter's most followed accounts in an attempt to scam millions of followers who clicked a dubious link asking for money.
The widespread hack, which appears to be coordinated, somehow gained access to the verified Twitter accounts of Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Michael Bloomberg, Warren Buffet, Jeff Bezos, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian West.
Companies were also targeted, including tech giant Apple and multiple cryptocurrency sources, including Binance, Ripple and Gemini.
Collectively, more than 320 million users follow the accounts.
Messages posted to the hacked profiles Wednesday afternoon invited users to send bitcoins to a long, anonymized link and said the money would be doubled and returned to the sender.
"I am giving back to the community," read a message posted on Biden's account, which has since been deleted. "All Bitcoin sent to the address below will be sent back doubled! If you send $1,000, I will send back $2,000. Only doing this for 30 minutes."
A similarly worded message was posted to the Twitter account belonging to Obama, who has the most followers on the platform at 120 million.
In some cases, the tweets garnered thousands of retweets and were widely shared. It's unclear how many followers fell for the scam or how the hackers accessed the accounts.
Twitter said it is investigating the security incident and that users may be unable to send tweets or reset their passwords while the incident is being addressed.
Many verified users — public figures and organizations that Twitter deems "in the public interest" — reported being unable to post tweets for a period of time Wednesday afternoon.
Twitter users have been hacked before, but this hack appears to be one of the largest in the history of the social media platform. Last August, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey had his account hacked, with racist tweets posted from his profile.
Dorsey addressed the situation in a tweet Wednesday evening.
"Tough day for us at Twitter. We all feel terrible this happened," he wrote.
"We're diagnosing and will share everything we can when we have a more complete understanding of exactly what happened."

Do you want the funk? Well, you're about to get that funk, when George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic roll into Stage AE tonight on the first stop of their exclusive (10 dates only) Mardi Gras Madness Tour. In the 1970s, Clinton, at the helm of bands Parliament and Funkadelic, blended soul and rock to create funky dance music with a message and a memorable stage show. So, roll up in some fresh threads and let ya chest hair show, because the P-Funk Mothership is coming in for a landing. Alona Williams 7 p.m. 400 N. Shore Drive, North Side. $29.50. 412-229-5483 or www.stagepittsburgh.com
As Justin Champlin, a.k.a. NOBUNNY, puts it in his slightly risqué, somewhat unnerving track "Masks On," "I just like it so much better with the masks on." Taking cues from theatrical rockers like The Cramps, the NOBUNNY persona is a thing to behold: Champlin performs wearing a shaggy rabbit mask and, often, not much else. Fortunately, the Tucson-based multi-instrumentalist also has the chops to back up the gimmick. Fans of high-energy garage punk, candy-colored power-pop and a good joke will find plenty to like. Tonight, NOBUNNY stops by Howlers with local openers The Lopez, Dumplings and The Spectres. Margaret Welsh 9 p.m. 4509 Liberty Ave., Bloomfield. $7. 412-682-0320 or www.howlerspittsburgh.com
Rotten Sound isn't just a band name — it's a mission statement. Since forming in 1993, the Finnish band has spent its time making some of the angriest, gnarliest, fastest and all-together scariest-sounding deathgrind around. On its most recent release — last year's extra-grimy Abuse to Suffer — the sound is as dense and nasty as ever, but the members don't forget to include some catchy-ass riffs and even some quasi-danceable grooves (if you care to find them). Experience it for yourself tonight at Diesel when Rotten Sound supports Darkest Hour and Ringworm; Rivers of Nihil, from Reading, Pa., will also appear, along with Pittsburgh's own Greywalker. MW 6:30 p.m. 1601 E. Carson St., South Side. $18. All ages. 412-431-8800 or www.dieselpgh.com
Vocalist Gregory Porter debuted in 2010 with Water, a clever and soulful jazz record that introduced his talent to the world. Porter took home the Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal album for 2013's Liquid Spirit; the imagery of liquids appears to be a common theme. One of the joys of listening to Porter is how he balances empowerment and fragility; the songs convey as much triumph as they do defeat. An upbringing with strong connections to his mother and church helped shape Porter into one of this generation's most inspiring jazz voices. You can, and should, hear it for yourself tonight at the August Wilson Center. AW 7 p.m. 980 Liberty Ave., Downtown. $55. 412-456-6666 or www.trustarts.org

And this is what some of our clients have to say
They (Brand Development) re-designed our logo, stationary and website. We went on to ask for help creating a year-long marketing plan which included CRM strategies. We had never explored this in full and their suggestions have proven to be highly effective. The professionalism, customer approach, return on investment and the actual service provided has been the best we have so far encountered from a marketing company.
Homecare Agency
You have transformed our small and satisfied customer base to a large and satisfied customer base. You helped us to understand that our brand was confusing and not 'obvious' to our potential customers, and although 'we' liked the way we looked, after having you re-design our brand, we can now see that our idea of what looked good was not anything close to what would universally be a good looking, professional brand.
IT Support Agency
We chose to use you (Brand Development) to build our new site over a number of other companies because we liked the aesthetics of your own site. As expected, our site is modern, clean, easy to navigate, and looks great!!!!!!
We are continually told just how good it looks. The process from start to finish was faster than expected. Thanks to all of the team
once again.

Well I have no idea if this has ever been considered but:
Would it be a nice idea to add a few settings to the camera? The settings I am thinking of are sensitivity sliders for color for instance. Say similar to the colorband sliders. Where you can set a sensitivity and perhaps a threshold for each of the 3 colours. That way you could easily do lots of effects without needing a lot of other post production software.
We have quite a few options where lights and materials are concerned, but with the camera itself we can do very little.
more camera settings???

Since your WC case is settled, you will have a problem getting the WC IC to pay for anything that is not spelled out in your future medical award, if there was one. Unless your doctor, again can write a report/request for treatment that will provide EBM for the medical necessity for the medication/treatment.
"who do you think is makeing the decision to charge me a doctor or some one with no medical background trying to cut corners?"
IF you are referring to the Utilization Review process, only a MD with a license to practice in your state can delay or modify your doctors request for treatment. A claims adjuster can approve, or a nurse case manager, but not deny (as a rule, states have different rules regarding the UR process)
Your having to see a doctor monthly might depend on what the medication is you are taking. Some meds cannot be refilled with out seeing a doctor...ie. Class III, opiate meds used for pain control. Also, you can't get these by mail.
It is easier to get medications approved vs treatment.
If your WC claim was still open you would have a much easier time trying to accomplish what you are seeking. And easier if it wasn't so old a case.
I realize you are trying to minimize your monthly outlay. Perhaps you could try some of the 'free' medication offers advertized on TV.(?) They help people with difficulties paying for their meds. Here is the url for one of the sites...
"There is a lot I dont under stand even after 13 years"...things change all the time, some affects you, some doesn't...but it is important to keep up with your case, it's going to be with you for the rest of your life.

Gardenia's tagline must have been inspired by this old-time delicacy, LOLX. Yummy ! In fact,it is best eaten on its own ! Well, I wonder how many of the younger folks out there know what these are !
Not sure what they are called in English, but in Malay they are known as 'tombong', a term which the Hokkiens in Penang use very freely and naturally.
I think they are the embryos of coconuts. Found only in mature nuts, they range in size from as small as grapes to as big as completely filling the chamber inside, depending on age. The small ones are sweet and crunchy, the big ones spongy. The best ones are slightly smaller than a tennis ball.
These are rarely seen nowadays, because few people sell or buy mature coconuts other than in processed form.

Hurom H100 Slow Juicer in Platinum Silver
Product Description
Hurom H100 Slow Juicer
The Hurom H100 is a sophisticated juicer that has completely changed the worlds perception on the best way to juice through its reworked juicing mechanism. This new screenless design offers an improved user experience during the entire juicing process and combines perfectly with great performance, exciting new features and a suave design to produce an excellent juicer with some of the best features on the market.
Key Features
- Slow 43 RPM juicing operation
- New dual strainer juice separation system
- Dual inlet hopper design
- Wide feed chute for easy juicing
- Optimised pulp outlet switch
- BPA free juicing components
- Easy to clean
Product Video
Dual Strainer Juicing
The H100 is especially exciting because of its new method of separating juice and pulp. Unlike other vertical models which use a sieving screen around the augur, this model instead uses a strainer, which consists of 2 parts that slot together, leaving only very thin slits for juice to pass through. This strainer is much easier to clean after juicing since it can be separated, leaving plenty of room to reach bits of remaining pulp.
The Cleaning Benefits of the Hurom H100
Unique Features
Alongside the new strainer juicing system, the Hurom H100 also has a couple of other interesting features. For starters it has a different method of controlling pulp ejection and instead of the common lever it instead has a switch placed directly above the outlet. The switch can be easily adjusted in fine amounts and allows for a highly customised juicing process.
Another great feature of the H100 is the dual inlet hopper, which offers a long and straight chute for ingredients such as carrots and a wide funnel for leafy greens and soft fruits. Having different inlets for different ingredients ensures that they can drop down the chute in an optimal manner, allowing them to be collected easily by the augur.
Optimised Juicing
When all the great features of the H100 come together it truly becomes an amazing juicer, and it offers performance that can equal many other vertical models currently on the market. The 43 RPM dual wing augur is very efficient and can extract plenty of juice from ingredients in a short timeframe, ensuring that nutrients and vitamins are maintained through the cold press process.
Useful Accessories
It has now become a standard for vertical models to include accessories to widen their available functions and despite its reworked juicing design, the H100 doesn't disappoint in this regard. As with most Hurom models, this device is equipped with a homogenising blank and a wide strainer. The blank transforms the H100 into a mixer and is perfect for producing sorbets, nut butters, breadcrumbs and more. The wide strainer can be used in combination with the inner strainer to form a new part with slightly wider slits. These slits allow some pulp to pass through to the final end product, producing a smoothie instead of a juice.
Technical Specifications
- Model: H100
- Colour: Platinum Silver
- Dimensions LxWxH (mm): 211 x 293 x 462
- Speed (RPM): 43
- Warranty: 10 Years (Motor) 5 Years (Parts)

Best out there
Posted by Kris on 16th Jan 2019
This must be the best juicer on the market at the moment. It can juice anything and the clean up is much easier with the new design. It's dead quiet too. Love it
Research paid off
Posted by CATHARINE OLMA on 13th Oct 2018
Carefully researched all juicers on the market and liked that this one did not use conventional screens. We believed it would be easier to keep clean. The first juicer delivered was damaged, we believe the plug pins which were not protected scratched the base of the juicer. We forwarded photos of the damage and explained we thought the unprotected plug pins were the culprit. We expected Juicers UK to immediately despatch a replacement but they waited until they had the damaged one back which I felt was poor customer service. We have used the juicer twice and very pleased with it.

• "Letters from the Past" includes perspectives on the Pop-trunk era in Houston, The Boredoms' 111 Boadrum concert in Byron Bay and a Gang Gang Dance Tour Redux by Brian DeGraw
Contents in more detail:
Our first issue opens with sound ecologist and artist Hildegard Westerkamp discussing her personal sound works, a brief history of background music and how we've all become addicted to music. Then, iconic photographer Glen E. Friedman shares the work ethos, creative vision and resolute stance he has maintained in his decades-spanning career. Friedman reflects and comments on the past, present and future of the music cultures he has documented as he reengages with his archive for his latest book, My Rules. One of the first interviews for My Rules, this lengthy and candid discussion is accompanied by a selection of photographs selected by Friedman.
Experimental musician Oren Ambarchi corresponds with the magazine about his adventures in Japan and his collaborative efforts in one of the most lauded trios in recent memory, together with Keiji Haino and Jim O'Rourke. Next, journalist Ian Martin takes time to look back and peer into the political and revolutionary potency of the Yugoslavian punk and new wave scene of the '70s and '80s with help from local witness and organizer Igor Vidmar. Martin's text is accompanied by a selection of over 15 unpublished photographs by Matija Praznik at one of the movement's central events in Ljubljana, "Disco FV."
Photographer and musician Joe Dilworth has traveled and toured extensively and recently shared a selection of his photography with the magazine. Most of the photographs are rare or unpublished, among the selection: a proof sheet from My Bloody Valentine's album shoot for "Isn't Anything" in 1991.
Issue 1 presses on with a piece on the Voice Studies series released by London-based imprint My Dance the Skull. Writer Jeff Daily revisits and dives in where few have ventured, chronicling parts of his engagement with this vast and experimental series of recordings. The magazine then corresponds with the KCHUNG Radio collective to check in on their free-form web broadcasting, off-site operations and how the group has maintained their independence. "Anonymous Thoughts on Music" presents selections from the website whythissound.com, of which we only know is based in the Midwest and is open to submissions.
Our "Publicity" editorial features original and commissioned responses to a selection of publicity photography from the past starting with writer and musician Ian F. Svenonius ("The fall of college rock and the rise of indie, or indie rock as the gentrification of punk"), followed by writer and exhibitor Johan Kugelberg ("Your heroes had to be compulsively made fun of"), singer Maria Minerva ("You're just 2 cool 2 be true, can't take my eyes off you") and artist, thinker and partner in electronic music label PAN, Mathew Dryhurst ("Scattershot Practice").
This issue turns the corner with New York-based gallery Audio Visual Arts briefly discussing their Exterior Sounds box for public listening in addition to recent exhibition activity. An essay by artist and thinker Nine Yamamoto-Masson titled "Plural Machine Self-Manifest" considers Kraftwerk's peculiar 1978 performance of "Die Roboter" on German Television as the debut of the group's aesthetic program we have come to know (or stand bewildered by). Yamamoto's essay is followed by a conversation about the life and times of steadfast musician Emmett Kelly of The Cairo Gang. The conversation spans years and touches on Kelly's tours and years playing anywhere and everywhere with everyone from Beth Orton to Will Oldham to street buskers abroad. Then, a brief check-in with the hard-to-pin-down electronic musician Lorenzo Senni about his side project STARGATE as well as his forthcoming label activities with Presto!?
This first issue of HIGHWAY concludes with Letters from the Past. First, local film producer Cliff Mack gives a brief on-the-ground look back at the Pop-trunk era in Houston as it coincided with the rise in popularity of DJ Screw. The final two letters come from the 2011 under-reported 111 Boadrum concert by ever format-shifting artists The Boredoms, and to close, a brief tour redux from the 2011 Gang Gang Dance US-Mexico Tour penned by musician Brian DeGraw.
"…Radio stations used to exist before these music streaming websites, where music cartridges were played non-stop and someone was sitting there changing these cartridges. But of course, listeners then could not choose the music. That's the new thing, now you choose your own songs. That's the appeal, of course. You feel like an active participant creating your own music culture and in a way you do, of course. But the more unconscious one is about the source of this choice, the more one tends to participate in the proliferation of one's own addiction to and need for a non-stop music soundtrack, and one's own oblivion towards…"
– Interview with Hildegard Westerkamp
"…There are times I have taken pictures of subjects that no one knew about, no one cared about yet, only the people who were very close, and I portrayed it in a way that helped others see what I saw, even if it wasn't true. I saw in my subjects what was going to come forth, something that I was going to bring out of them and that would inspire something positive— to move forward politically and artistically. So if I'm not adding anything, then why am I…"
– Interview with Glen E. Friedman
"…As in the West, punk in Yugoslavia had its roots in suburban alienation and anger at the establishment, and in Yugoslavia the establishment meant the Communist Party…"The first step for punks was to cry out against boredom and what you might call 'greyland'," says Slovenian music journalist and author Igor "BIGor" Bašin. "The second step is that you need a target, and the political system is just waiting for you to take a shot at it. One of Pankrti's first songs was ZK Punk ('Zveza Komunistov' = 'Communist Party') and the communist system was a very good target for punks…"
– "Peering into Yugoslavian Punk & New Wave"
"…On the second release in the series, Tom White…explains, "the 'performers' are both deaf actors but the majority of the collaboration was with Stephen Collins, who is quite successful in deaf theatre. I invited them to communicate to each other, through cut-up scores and text pieces and respond in British Sign Language. I would record close-up their vocal and bodily sounds during communication which formed the source material for the work." Interesting then, that the performers of this work cannot even hear themselves and are producing sounds, free of a conscious "recording arts." White then takes the raw audio and produces a recording that is…"
– "Voice Studies"
"…Indie fans, like yuppies, were extreme connoisseurs, having found groups to love that were so remote as to be essentially only rumored to exist. American indie groups took on the homemade aesthetics and subsistence economy of the US hardcore and post-punk bands— something not typical in the industry-driven UK music scene— and merged them with the yuppie's taste making and post-hippie civic sensibility. Stylistically, indie was usually…"
– "Indie Rock as the Gentrification of Punk" by Ian F. Svenonius
"…remember the time when musicians/bands didn't have stylists and were (most likely) wearing stuff their mother got from a charity shop. This self-conscious and carefree approach to fashion has by now been colonized and commercialized by retailers such as Urban Outfitters and American Apparel; the new "old" denim jacket is carefully bleached and dyed, and later Instagram-filtered…"
– "You're Just 2 Cool 2 Be True, Can't Take My Eyes Off You" by Maria Minerva
"After an absence of five years Kraftwerk returned as a stylized polymorph machine performing itself, using replica mannequins of the musicians interchanged with their own real bodies. The assemblage of men-machine declares its identity and presents itself as cyborg in this manifesto song, arguably among the most important in Kraftwerk's performative and sonic repertoire. The spare lyrics processed through the signature Kraftwerk vocoder are an insistent, repetitive claim of their existence: "Wir sind die Roboter" (We are the Robots). The lyrics seems like commonplace statements, but it is the implied sentience that disturbs. In our…dreams and nightmares…"
– "Plural-Machine Self-Manifest"
"…My relationship to my own music isn't to be a record-making machine. It's what I do constantly, but I don't feel like I need to share everything I do with everyone. Some things are private. Of course I would be happy if The Cairo Gang was getting offers to play gigs all over the world and making a ton of money, but I don't know, I question that a lot. I wonder if I could even understand what comes with that. Working with others clues me in a little as to how people can put themselves out there. I have had the great opportunity to know at least a few extremely admirable people who put themselves out there in a healthy way. I think part of my upbringing has soured my attitude toward the music industry at large. Seeing my family…"

Library Services Get Creative
Indexed by flickr user kyz
Creativity can be a tricky, slippery thing. Some people believe it can be taught and nurtured; others think it's a congenital trait. It can appear in flashes, and often disappears just as quickly. But for Laura Damon-Moore, Christina Endres, and Erinn Batykafer, there is a consistent reliable behind the creative formula: the library. All recent graduates of the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Library and Information Studies, the three women are behind The Library as Incubator Project, an online resource that promotes partnerships between artists and libraries, and highlights successful projects that have emerged from these collaborations. We spoke with Damon-Moore and Endres about their website, why they think libraries are uniquely suited to arts creation, and the one myth about libraries they'd like to dispel.
NEA: Let's start off by going back to the beginning. When did your own love of libraries first began?
LAURA DAMON-MOORE: My school library was the first library that I really connected with. A couple of things stick out to me about that experience. First, finding the book in the juvenile fiction section that was called Into the Painted Bear Lair. It was kind of the first life-changing book for me---I think I found it when I was seven. I made it a point of pride to have my name be the only name on the checkout card for a solid year. [Later on,] one of the librarians there let me know about a writing competition that was going on. I was a fifth-grader, and I ended up being a finalist in that competition. It was a really nice connection there for me with the staff in that library.
CHRISTINA ENDRES: When I was younger, my most vivid memories of the library are going to get Nancy Drew books. I was super into Nancy Drew, so I read all the ones in the school library, and then went to the public library and oh my gosh, there were so many more! So I appreciated the library back then. As I got older, especially in college, I thought about the library not just as a place to go get cool books, but to kind of hang out. I think that's when I really started to love libraries. They were a place I could go away from the dorms, and where it would be calm and quiet and I could get my work done and wander around and look at all the interesting stuff and just explore.
NEA: How did the idea for the Library as Incubator Project first develop?
DAMON-MOORE: One of the biggest influences I would say was our Introductory Library Class, LIS450. Our professor, Louise Robbins, is really passionate and knowledgeable, and really conveyed that passion and knowledge to all of us very effectively. At the same time, I was working in Memorial Library here on campus. My office published the library magazine, and I was editing one of the articles which was about this woman named Martha Glowacki. She's a local Madison artist who uses library resources and space extensively in her work as a visual artist. I have a theater background, and that got me thinking, "Visual arts? What about performing arts, too?" I started to think about artists as a user group of libraries, and how to provide services and resources for that specific user group. A lecture in Louise's class about library advocacy and being able to speak knowledgeably about what libraries do and how they can help communities---all those things just collided in my brain. I cornered Christina almost immediately after having this revelation and was like, "Do you want to talk about this project? I have this idea."
NEA: What is it in particular about libraries that you think makes them conducive to creativity?
DAMON-MOORE: I think that they're a unique place that can facilitate the entire creative process. Someone might go there to do some research for a short story, or for a play, or to get source material for a visual art piece. They can also function as a space to actually do the creation of the work. One of my friends who we interviewed on the site, Madeleine Roux, did a lot of her writing of her second novel in a library when her home computer crashed---we've heard a lot of those kinds of stories. Towards the end of the process, it's also a publishing mechanism, or a way to get the finished artwork to the community, and potential customers. It can be a performance space, it can be a gallery space, it can be a place to showcase writing.
ENDRES: The very nature of a public library as a public, free space also creates opportunities for creative people that they might not get elsewhere. The public library creates a space where artists who may not otherwise be able to show their work to the public are getting to do that. And people who aren't going to go visit [museums and galleries] are going to get to see art. Or maybe a budding artist who can't afford to go to art school, or can't afford to take a class, can go to a free workshop at the library.
NEA: I think most people associate a library with reading and research. How do you see the overlap between reading and research, and the creative arts: writing, performance, visual arts?
DAMON-MOORE: There are a ton of connections that I see. For me, the act of reading is directly related to artistic inspiration. I've recently gotten back into doing some drawing and some writing. Now, I'm recognizing those moments of inspiration that come from reading a really outstanding book or short story or poem, or seeing something in the pages of an art book. I think that you read something in a book and it propels you forward, or gets you thinking about something that you want to explore through your own creative project.
ENDRES: Laura talked about reading as inspiration, but I think a lot of artists in our area use the library for research, and have a lot of information needs. For a writer, if they're writing nonfiction that becomes more obvious, but even in writing fiction set in a certain time period, that's going to require research. Or an artist setting a painting in a certain time period. I think the research aspect is a big part for a lot of creative people who are looking to add detail. People do traditionally think of the library in coordination with reading and books, but we're also seeing that that role is changing quite a bit. This new role is more of libraries as a community center and information center and a creative place.
NEA: Drawing on what you just said, Christina, do you think that the library's transformation into more of an information gathering place, or community space, is necessary for libraries to stay relevant in the 21st century?
ENDRES: I think that public libraries try to look at what their patrons and their community need and want. That's the best way to stay relevant. I think that for a lot of communities, this what patrons are asking for and looking for, so in a sense, yes, I think it's definitely a part of the evolution of libraries in the digital age. People talk about, "Why do we need libraries? Nobody reads books." First, people do still read books. But people have changed the way they read and they've changed the way they gather information, and the public library is still going to play a big role in that.
DAMON-MOORE: As community centers and arts organizations are losing funding, or having to do more with less, there's a practicality aspect there, too. All of these public institutions are struggling right now financially, so there is more need and opportunity for collaboration. So that's a big thing that we're seeing as well.
NEA: What have been some of your favorite projects or organizations that you have featured on the site?
DAMON-MOORE: One that stands out for me is Brandon Monokian. He's a performing artist who works a lot with the Princeton Public Library in New Jersey. He does these projects called "Page to Stage" performances, and works with undergraduate-aged people to do performances taken from literature. He's very enthusiastic and really fun to connect with.
ENDRES: We featured a project called, "A Cabinet of Curiosity: The Library's Dead Time." I love that project because it's a little bit different from a lot of things we've seen on the site. It's more conceptual and academic. It's a really interesting look at combining performance art and [visual] art with some of the philosophies and issues behind librarianship. I also love reading [survey responses] from all the artists and writers that we feature. I think each person uses the library in a different way, and has a different way of explaining how they do that. It's so fun to read those surveys or questionnaires, because every time you read one you think of another reason why the library is important.
NEA: Do you have any particular favorite libraries in the world?
DAMON-MOORE: I studied abroad for a semester in Dublin, Ireland, and attended the University College Dublin. Everyone thinks of Trinity College library when they think of Dublin, but there was something really wonderful and kind of smoky and old, lots of dark wood, and a little bit dingy around the corners at the UCD library. So that one is definitely up there. And they had really comfortable chairs.
ENDRES: I think I'll always have a huge fondness in my heart for our home library, the School of Library and Information Studies library here in Madison. I think it would definitely be safe to say that our project was incubated there, we've done a lot of work on it in that library. It just kind of feels like home. It looks out over beautiful Lake Mendota with huge windows. I think many people here would tell you that this library is a place that they will remember fondly.
DAMON-MOORE: It also has a beautiful vintage children's literature collection, too.
NEA: If there was one misconception about libraries that you'd like to dispel, what would it be?
ENDRES: Well, there are probably many. But it always gets to me [that people think] that public libraries are irrelevant, or could be irrelevant in the very near future. With this project, and with other work I've done in libraries, I see how untrue that is.
DAMON-MOORE: That's probably mine, too. Just the idea that libraries are dying really gets my goat. And the misconception that you have to be dead quiet in libraries is a big one for me. I am the youth librarian at a small public library here in Wisconsin, and I see parents all the time shushing their children. Part of me is like, "Let them run free through the stacks!" Or that idea that as a librarian, I'm going to get really mad at you if you're talking really loudly. I think that misconceptions about librarians still exist, and as librarians and future librarians ourselves, that really can be aggravating sometimes.
NEA: Do you feel like you've learned anything from working on the project that will eventually influence you as you become professionals in your own work as librarians?
ENDRES: I think there are a lot of things. From a practical end, we built a website and maintained a website and have gotten a lot of skills there. And the writing and communication skills that we've honed from doing the project will be invaluable. I think we've also learned the huge power of social media, and how that can really spark connections, and spark publicity, and spark people's interest, in a way that, before this, I never knew was possible. I feel like I have a much better handle on how to use those connections and social media in a way that is effective. If I were in charge of social media at a library, I feel like I would be able to really use that to the library's advantage after having done this. From another standpoint, we've been exposed to so many creative ideas and projects, that I feel really inspired to go into whatever library setting I end up working in and develop ideas for partnerships and projects and programs.
DAMON-MOORE: I think from an advocacy perspective, having such a rich collection of examples of successful programs is really fabulous. And that's not just for us, it's for people reading the site: librarians in training, current librarians. There's a wealth of information there. I think that also, on a practical level, learning to work as a team has been insanely helpful. Working with people outside our little trio, and developing those professional connections, and really getting our feet wet in terms of networking, has really been useful, as far as professional development goes.

Possible MLB Rule Changes: Universal DH? Roster size? Anti-tanking?
This rule would result in a pitcher being required to pitch to a minimum of three batters upon entering a game. For teams, this could significantly reduce the number of pitching changes made by managers. It could also speed up games for team's that like to change pitchers in the middle of an inning. During last year's playoffs, the Brewers used left-handed pitcher Wade Miley for one batter before replacing him with right-handed pitcher Brandon Woodruff. This type of move wouldn't be possible under this possible rule change.
Universal designated hitter
The MLBPA continues to push for a universal DH and they would like to have it in place for the 2019 season. That seems highly unlikely at this point. Offensive has been down across baseball so adding a DH in the National League could add some more offensive to the game. However, none of these teams have been preparing to add a DH to their roster. I believe this rule will happen at some point, but I don't think it will be in place for the 2019 season.
20-second pitch clock
One of the rules proposed by MLB last year was the implementation of a 20-second pitch clock. Manfred could put this rule in to affect for the 2019 campaign. Pitch clocks have been used in the minor leagues, so some players have already started to be accustomed to having them as part of the game. I think the pitch clock is coming and it might be happening for the current season.
Mound visits
Another rule that MLB can implement this year is reducing the number of mound visits from six to five. In their most recent proposal, MLB would like to reduce mound visits from six to four in 2019. Then in 2020, they would like the number of mound visits to be reduced to three. This seems like a large jump over a two-year span and I think the MLBPA will try to slow this process down.
Roster size
MLB would also like to expand rosters to 26 players starting in 2020. Along with that, they would like to reduce September rosters from 40 to 28. Expanding rosters from 25 to 26 would create 30 more big-league jobs and allow teams to be strategic as to what type of player they would like to have on the roster. Do they want another arm in the bullpen? Do they want a power bat for the bench? I don't like the idea of reducing September roster sizes. We already see teams manipulate service time without using September call-ups and this seems like another way for teams to do that.
One of the ideas the player's union would like addressed is the idea of teams tanking over multiple years to get a higher draft pick. In recent memory, the Astros did this to acquire high picks over multiple years. From this, they have built a very strong roster. The union would like a team's draft position to be lowered if the club fails to reach a certain number of wins across multiple seasons.
What rule changes would you like to see? Leave a COMMENT and start the discussion.

Nicki Minaj joined The Weeknd for the first live rendition of her new remix to "The Hills".
The Weeknd surprised fans with two huge remixes of his number one smash, "The Hills," last night, but he could only bring out one of the two A-listers out on SNL last night. He made the right choice, asking Nicki Minaj to come through to spit her new verse on the song.
Since morphing from a reclusive semi-anonymous songwriter to full-blown pop star, Abel is still working on his stage presence, so Nicki was the perfect choice to keep him on his toes.
After that, Abel brought out that other song you may have heard this year, "Can't Feel My Face". As usual, his vocals were on-point throughout.
Check out clips of both performances below.

Concerns over accidental e-liquids exposure
The UK National Health Service's National Poisons Information Service (NPIS) has said in its annual report that urgent consideration needs to be given to the safe storage and packaging of electronic cigarettes and e-liquids, according to a story by the TMA based on the report.
The NPIS said that during 2014-15 it had received 241 telephone enquiries concerning these products, up 18 percent on the 204 enquiries it had received during 2013-14
Forty percent of the calls during 2014-15 had come from hospitals and 25 percent had concerned incidents involving children under five.
Eighty five percent of the exposures had been accidental.
Fourteen of the 241 enquiries had concerned intentional overdoses, while the remainder had included adverse reactions to intended use, recreational abuse and 'therapeutic errors'.
Ingestion had been the most common form of exposure, though nine of the 15 enquiries involving eyes had occurred when an e-liquid was mistaken for eye drops.
Of all those exposed, 133 had shown no signs of toxicity, seven had suffered moderate toxicity, and one severe toxicity.
The report said it was of concern that the majority of exposures had been accidental.
Monitoring inquiries about exposures to electronic cigs and their refills was important given their increasing use, it said.

Advanced Technology and Systems Analysis
CNA Advanced Technology and Systems Analysis: helping decision makers get the best possible returns from their technology and systems investments.
CNA Advanced Technology and Systems Analysis (ATSA) focuses on analyses of technologies and systems that support the evolving requirements of naval and joint warfare to inform and support acquisition and enterprise force management decisions. ATSA analyzes joint systems and capabilities and structures analysis within a joint context, but it specializes in the analyses of naval and expeditionary systems, tactics, and operations. The major focus is to address the potential military utility of new technologies, the relative need for new systems or capabilities, and the costs and implications of acquiring a new system or family of systems. ATSA analysts help our research sponsors examine alternative systems to assess their relative costs and benefits.
Analysts specialize in assessing alternative technical and systems approaches to address emerging gaps in the capabilities of U.S. forces, and they analyze those alternatives to assess their cost, performance, and risks. To do this, ATSA analysts develop a thorough understanding of sponsors' objectives and operating environments—including sea, land, air, space, and cyberspace—and of the performance characteristics of supporting technologies and systems. Building on their analysis and knowledge of current operations, the analysts serve as a link between sailors and marines in the fleet and marine forces and scientists and engineers in the research and development communities.
ATSA's work for the Department of the Navy falls into four areas:
- Intelligence, Information, and Networks — Analyze alternative combinations of sensors, processes, systems, and networks supporting the tasking, collection, processing, production, and dissemination of command and control information and intelligence to support the full spectrum of operations. Conduct analysis of offensive and defensive cyber systems and the policies, tactics, techniques, and procedures required to operationalize cyber warfare capabilities in the fleet. Analyze current afloat network connectivity and potential material and procedural changes to improve and assure expeditionary communications capability.
- Research, Development, and Acquisition — Conduct analysis to assist in the development and acquisition of technologically superior and affordable systems for the Department of Defense.
- Resources, Planning, and Assessments — Conduct analysis of systems capabilities to support the Department of the Navy major platform warfare requirements and acquisition.
- Capability Integration — Analyze systems of systems for integrated naval and joint operations, employing a variety of analysis, modeling, simulation, and wargaming techniques to analyze all facets of weapons effectiveness and weapons effects against asymmetric threats to help senior decision makers assess risks and opportunities.
ATSA's research in these areas (much of which is classified) helps senior decision makers set requirements for, and acquire systems to meet, their warfighting capabilities and missions. ATSA research sponsors include the Office of Secretary of Defense; the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations (DCNO) for Information Dominance (N2/N6); the DCNO for Integration of Capabilities and Resources (N8); the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development, and Acquisition; the Commander of the Fleet Cyber Command; and the Director of Naval Intelligence. Other research sponsors include the National Reconnaissance Office, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the Missile Defense Agency.
The division's current research is grouped around five main themes: recapitalizing critical forces; modernizing and refocusing forces to meet rising anti-access and area-denial challenges and to satisfy forward presence requirements; developing and maintaining affordable maritime and air dominance; developing and exploiting information and information technologies for operations; and increasing science and technology productivity in support of evolving naval capabilities.
Advanced Technology and Systems Analysis Teams
- Aviation Systems & Technology
- Information Technology & Operations
- Integration & Gaming
- Maritime Search & Undersea Warfare
Areas of Focus:
- Counter-A2AD (anti-access/area denial) systems and technology
- Aviation systems and technology
- Cyber warfare, network operations, and information technology
- Undersea warfare and systems
- Expeditionary warfare and systems
- CONOPs development and wargaming

One of the friendliest way was number 4 (Creating a temporary ad-hoc Wi-Fi network). This method was chosen by Twine and also by HeatMeter and Belkin WeMo.
In normal use, the device connects to the home Wi-Fi network as a client, then sends (http GET/POST) the collected data to a web server.
Sometimes, when the device needs to be configured, it creates its own Wi-Fi network and runs a local web server. At this moment it allows other Wi-Fi devices (PC, smart phone etc) to connect, as clients, to the local web server and send configuration data, specifically the name of the home Wi-Fi network and the password. Once this configuration data is acquired and stored internally (in eeprom), the device returns to its normal state and uses it to connect to the home Wi-Fi network.
The configuration mode is selected by the user. One simple method is by holding down a button after a reset. Another is by placing the device (which has on-board accelerometer or even a tilt sensor) in a specific orientation (as done by Twine).
Below are diagrams I drew to show these two modes of operation (configuration mode and regular use mode).
The steps are:
1.After reset, if a switch is pressed by the user, the board enters the configuration mode. This makes the Wi-Fi module a Wi-Fi server.
1.Data is read from the sensor.
A nice feature for a network-connected device is that it can get program upgrades remotely, "over the air" in the case of Wi-Fi. This requires a bootloader that can connect to the internet and checks if a new version of the program is available for download on a given web server. The Readiymate team wrote such a bootloader for ATmega1280/2560 (the processor(s) found on Arduino Mega).
The next diagram shows how the remote program upgrade would work.
The steps are:
1.Bootloader makes an http GET request through the Wi-Fi module.

Age spots are dark skin pigmentation caused by too much exposure to the harmful UV rays of the sun. UV rays cause melanin production in your skin. Melanin is responsible for giving color to your skin, however, when in excess, it concentrates in particular parts of your skin and form dark patches. These dark patches become more obvious as you age. And covering them up is just a temporary measure. Try getting rid of them permanently so you can look in the mirror and be happy with what you see.
You can find ways to treat this skin condition. But before you choose to try any of these treatments, you have to know their after-effects before you commence using them. There are faster methods to eliminate age spots like freezing, chemical peels, and laser treatment but these have noted bad side effects. They are also expensive, temporary and risky.
Among their side effects are redness, itchiness, roughness, and scarring. There are treatments that may appear to eliminate this kind of skin condition but nothing indicates its real root cause. In order to prevent it from appearing again, use natural skin whitening creams.
These creams are composed of natural and potent substances combined in exact formulation to provide great benefits for your skin.
Extrapone Nutgrass root is an essential ingredient that can effectively eliminate age spots. It suppresses the production of melanin to whiten your skin naturally. It is proven to reduce melanin concentration by 40 percent when used in right amount.
Another innovative ingredient is CynergyTK. It is derived from sheep wool of New Zealand. It is composed of Functional Keratin that helps rejuvenate your skin by boosting the creation of new skin cells. It helps restore skin damage through fast recovery and healing.
The skin cream that contains these two natural ingredients helps eliminate skin discoloration while countering other signs of aging. Some of the signs of aging are skin dryness, roughness, and wrinkles.
Avocado oil is another great ingredient that effectively treats skin dryness by providing proper moisture to your skin. It also provides protection to your skin against solar radiation and helps prevent skin discoloration.

Is your computer running at turtle speed? If it is, then something may be terribly wrong. If you ignore this problem, then you can expect your computer to soon experience other problems like Windows errors, the dreaded blue screen of death and many other computer ailments.
So, before your PC deteriorates any further, help yourself by learning the reasons why your computer is slow. By understanding the errors that you might have made with your computer, you will then be able to improve the condition of your computer and smile the next time your computer takes less than 2 minutes to start up.
Why Is My Computer Slow?
There are many possible reasons why your computer is slow. It largely depends on you, the user. How well you keep your computer maintained will determine how fast your PC is able to process information.
So let me proceed to the ultimate reason why you computer is losing speed.
"It is all got to do with the registry" they say. If you are wondering what the registry is, then fret not. Most people are unaware of the existence of a thing called the "registry" inside of their computers.
The registry is a component in the computer that stores all information, mainly the Windows operating system configuration as well as some software configuration as well.
So over time, these files in the registry might get corrupted with current and old registry keys. As such, you will find that your computer will take ages to open an application.
The reason is simply because instead of normal direct access to the information, your processor now has to go through loops and bends just to get to the required information. Makes sense now?
How Can I Speed Up My Computer
So what you can do is to give your computer a registry clean up every now and then. To do this, you can simply download an application called SpeedyPC. It offers a 100% free scan, which determines if in fact you do have registry problems.
The second possible reason why your computer is slow is because of those fanciful desktop wallpapers and unnecessary extras that you can live without.
This would include personalized icons and animated cursors. While it might be really tempting to change your entire Windows desktop to look exactly like a jungle on screen, stop yourself from this thought.
These extras might look nice on your desktop, but they could be the very reason why your computer is getting slower. So, try to keep things simple on the desktop. Skip all those fancy cursors.
The last reason could be simply because of nasty viruses and spyware. Almost every computer will suffer from spyware activity, even if the user is not aware of it.
When you surf over to other websites, these websites will drop random spyware into your computer system. The purpose of doing so is to spy on your web surfing patterns.
If you take spyware a little too lightly by visiting the wrong kind of websites, you might end up inviting hackers to hack into your computer system.
So the most obvious solution is to get anti-spyware software. Also, keep anti-virus software ready in your computer at all times too. You just don't know when a virus might enter into your computer system.
XoftSpy Anti-Spyware | Paretologic Anti-Virus PlusThe trick to a fast processing PC is good maintenance. Make sure you take the proper steps to maintain your computer regularly.

Winter storms brought down trees, triggered mudslides and damaged homes across the Bay Area, and local sensations – of the ape kind – were among those affected by the relentless rain.
Community members, however, jumped to the aid of beloved gorilla, Koko, who is famous for being able to communicate using American Sign Language, and her friend, Ndume.
The duo live in enclosures on the Redwood City premises of the Gorilla Foundation, but tragedy struck during a particularly wet winter season.
"After many weeks of rain and hail storms in Northern California (and the anticipation of more to come), the roof to Koko and Ndume's play yard and sleeping quarters needs replacing, as it has sustained damage from the very heavy water flow," Lauren Russ, one of the gorillas' caregivers wrote on a GoFundMe page created to help the duo.
Strong gusts of wind had blown off shingles from the roof, Russ said.
Russ put out a call for funds on March 6, and in just a month, more than 700 people had donated $35,000. Of that, roughly $27,000 came via GoFundMe, while the rest was contributed directly to the Gorilla Foundation's website, an elated Russ wrote in an update.
Koko, born in 1971 at the San Francisco Zoo, has lived on the Peninsula since she was 8 years old. Ndume joined her in 1991.
Koko is part of the Gorilla Foundation's research-based Project Koko, which launched at Stanford University, and explores ways to communicate with gorillas.
Fluent in sign language, Koko befriended late actor Robin Williams. When she learned of Williams' death in 2014, Koko expressed sadness, the Gorilla Foundation said.
The Gorilla Foundation team plans to replace the damaged roof in April, and promises to post updates on their social media pages.

Have you ever wondered how hot the mascots at Walt Disney World must get in the humid Floridian air? Or how they can dance around and wave without ever seeming to get tired? I never really paid much mind to it. I always wanted to believe it was just the Disney magic that kept those poor people in those burning costumes going... but like most things, unfortunately, it's just not that simple.
It was summer of 2006, I was fourteen at the time. I took a well deserved vacation with my family down to Florida to have a magical vacation at the happiest place on earth. Along with my Mom, my sister, and of course me, was my Uncle Rick. He lived in Florida so it wasn't uncommon for him to accompany us on our trips down to Disney World. We visited Disneyland often because it was only about a five hour drive from our home in Phoenix, AZ. So, as you can imagine, it was always a big treat for us to fly down to Florida.
Me, my Mom, and my Sister were all huge Disney fans, and when I say huge, I mean HUGE. Disney memorabilia all over our home, seeing Disney movies on opening night/day, anything Disney, we've done it. That's one of the reasons this story is so painful to tell, along with many others.
My Uncle Rick on the other hand wasn't such a big Disney buff, in fact he was the opposite. He was a very religious man, always rambling on about his stories of the good ol' days when he was a teacher at a Sunday school. Uncle Rick was significantly older than my Mother. They were twelve years apart I think.
I was never a religious kid, nor am I now, but that didn't affect my relationship with my Uncle Rick. He was a great man; always happy, funny, and he just had something about him that made everyone who knew him smile when you brought him up. I couldn't have asked for a better man to be my Mother's brother.
My Uncle Rick had always had his likes and dislikes about Disney World, his dislikes consisted of: the unnatural happiness of the people there, the crowds, the loud sounds, the rides (I don't know how he couldn't have loved Pirates of the Caribbean either) and especially the way the people in those mascot costumes had to stand there for extended periods of a time in the blazing heat - just so the people could get a picture with them.
I tried to explain to him that it's their job, and that they aren't in any danger, but he would always find a way to counter my argument. Oh, and his likes consisted of: the turkey legs... even though he would still complain about how they were over priced.
He never seemed pleased when he was at Disney World, it was obvious the only reason he was there was because he wanted to spend time with us. This particular trip to Disney World was different though. Everything was fine and dandy up until we pulled up to the Walt Disney World gate that greets you at the entrance to the Disney property. I noticed that he had an uneasy look on his face as we passed under it. And then he got unusually quiet up until we had already parked and left the car. Instead of talking about the usual stories of his "good ol' days" he began to talk about a much darker subject... Hell.
It took me off guard, considering he never really brings up this subject unless he's telling us not to say it. I just looked at him as he went on talking about the suffering that goes on down there and how he hopes we never have to experience anything like that. Then my mom, when she overheard his ramblings, abruptly ordered him to "cut it out" and "just be happy that you're here!"
I had never heard my Uncle Rick talk like that, he had always been so joyful. I could tell from the tone in his voice that he was genuinely concerned, but I just couldn't figure out what had gotten into him to make him that upset. I also couldn't get what he said out of my head, "I don't want you to ever experience suffering like that." I didn't know what he meant.
He seemed very unlike himself. He was sad. Not frustrated, not annoyed, just sad. I kept asking him what was wrong but he just looked the other way and ignored me. We had been in the Magic Kingdom Park for about an hour-and-a-half (though I wasn't able to enjoy any of it considering I was concerned for Uncle Rick the whole time) and we had gone on a few rides. Uncle Rick usually tends to go on the rides with us even though he doesn't exactly enjoy them, but this time he refused to go on any and he just sat near the exit waiting for us to get off.
We were about to go on the Haunted Mansion when I decided I would hold off and sit down with Rick. I took a seat next to him and we just sat there, quietly, for about a half-hour. (If you've ever been to Disneyland or Disney World then you know how long the lines get.) Finally, he muttered something to me.
"What?" I said trying to direct my focus to him, "I was told something bad would happen today."
I could barely understand his quiet voice over all of the commotion around us.
"What? By who?" I said urgently back to him.
"Something unholy..." he said as the tear rolled down his cheek.
My heart dropped, this isn't my usual Uncle Rick talking, this Uncle Rick was just a sad, miserable shell of himself.
When my sister and my mom finally got off of the ride I remember looking up and seeing my joyful mom staring down at me. I had been so genuinely sad that my Uncle Rick was so miserable that I too had been crying, though I didn't even notice until my mom shouted at me. "Seriously?! You too? You have got to be kidding me! Do you know how much God damn money I spend at this place just so YOU can have a good time!?"
That's when I realized that I was in the happiest place on earth and I was still crying like a baby. I stood up and said
"You're right, let's go ride Space Mountain, you comin' Uncle Rick?" I remember the look he gave me, it was a look of absolute sorrow. I felt guilty as he slowly pried himself from the bench.
On our way over to Space Mountain we came across a Mickey Mouse mascot giving out autographs and taking photos with excited children. My sister, who was younger than I was, begged my mom to get a picture with Mickey. My mom gave in and we walked over. I kept looking over my shoulder to check on Uncle Rick, whose pace slowed as we approached the mascot.
My mom and sister stood in line eager to get a picture with Mickey. I, on the other hand, was still about ten feet from them waiting for Uncle Rick. I felt almost angry at my mom for not sympathizing with her own brother, even though something was obviously seriously wrong with him.
I stood there waiting for him, when he finally caught up I grabbed his hand to try to assist him over, but as our palms met I noticed that his hand was shockingly cold. I gasped as I jerked my hand away in shock, "Uncle Rick? Ar- Are you okay?" I said to him in a shaky voice. He just stared at me. His face was different than I had ever seen it before, it didn't look like my Uncle Rick at all, it looked like the epitome of misery. I wanted to break down crying, I have never seen such a disturbing sight in my life, and not disturbing in a way that made me frightened, it was disturbing in a way that affected me as a person, in a way that I know I'll never be able to forget.
I ran over to my mom and grabbed her arm, "We need to leave, now!" She just looked at me with a puzzled look on her face.
"No we don't. Your Uncle is fine, he just..." She stopped mid sentence and looked behind me with a shocked look on her face. I was hesitant to turn around because by the look on her face I knew what I was about to see was going to be bad. I never could have imagined how bad it was going to be.
I finally convinced myself to turn around. Before me; I saw my Uncle Rick, standing maybe fifteen feet away, he was looking at the Mickey mascot, and the Mickey was looking at him.
That's when I noticed that the Mickey's body was facing the opposite direction of the the Mickey's head. I couldn't understand why the mascot looked like that, wouldn't the Disney employees have put a stop to this? What's happening?
That's when it happened. In an instant the Mickey mascot let out a deafening sound that resembled a thousand people screaming. I cupped my ears trying to drown out the noise but it was no use. Then, just as soon as it started, the noise stopped.
I looked up and the Mickey was no more than two feet from my face; its face was distorted, it had black eyes with small white pupils and huge, rat-like front teeth surrounded by what looked like hundreds of bloody human teeth filling the gums of Mickey's mouth. The skin of the mascot was grey and the material looked aged and rotten.
Then I heard it say, in a voice that sounded like one thousand people talking at once, "We are but puppets, nothing more than a test for what's to come."
I couldn't scream, I couldn't move, I could only watch as -- in the blink of an eye -- the Mickey was standing in front of my Uncle Rick. The mascot's head was slowly lifted off of the body by some unseen force. I saw a reddish, black liquid pour out of the neck opening and spill down the body of the mascot. My Uncle Rick started screaming bloody murder. Then something happened, I'm not sure what, I turned my head and covered my ears in an attempt to shield myself from what was happening to my Uncle Rick.
I then woke up in a cold sweat on the concrete screaming as my family and some Disney cast members crowded around me. I saw my Uncle Rick looking down at me with concern in his eyes. I jolted to my feet and grabbed my Uncle Rick by the arm.
"Please Rick, we need to go! Please!"
He placed his hand on mine, it was warm again. He told me with a smile on his face that everything was okay, I had just fainted from the heat. I know I didn't faint. It took me a few seconds to come back to reality. When I did, I hugged my Uncle Rick like I've never hugged anyone before.
I sat down in a cast members-only area to cool down, even though I wasn't really that hot. They gave me some water and told me to "Relax, the paramedics will be here soon". I assured them I was fine (mainly because I just wanted to get the hell out of there) but my efforts were useless. The paramedics arrived and I was taken to the nearest emergency room.
The nurse did some tests and I talked to the doctor for a while. I was fine. Nothing was wrong with me. I know what I saw was real, I wouldn't just imagine that, and even If I did nothing imaginary could be that real. I laid in the hospital bed and stared at the ceiling for a good two hours. That's when it occurred to me. The place that they took me to sit down after I supposedly "fainted" was one of the mascot exits/entries.
I felt cold when I recalled seeing a reddish, black liquid puddle on the floor in front of the entrance with a "Wet Floor" sign on it. That was the same liquid I saw coming out of the costume. My heart was racing and my palms were sweating. I was trying to convince my self that they were right, and somehow I did faint, and it was all imaginary.
"But then why the hell was that liquid on the floor!?"
I was starting to panic when my mom slowly walked into the room, her cheeks were drenched in tears and her hands were filled with tissue. I stopped dead in my tracks, I don't know how but I knew... I knew something had happened to my Uncle Rick. She sat down in a chair next to my bed and put her hand in mine. She told me what had happened. Every word felt like a knife sinking deeper and deeper into my heart. My Uncle had shot himself that night. He had a Bible clenched in his hand when he did it.
He was dead. I knew why, but nobody else would. A happy, joyful, funny man like him doesn't just decide he wants to blow his brains out one night. No, something happened to him. That mascot did something to him that I didn't see because I looked away. I feel like if I hadn't looked away I could've saved him somehow. But I can't now... he's dead.
I don't have anything to do with Disney anymore. When I moved out of my mom's house, I burned everything Disney I owned. I refuse to go back there. I don't know what I saw that day, even though I can still see it clear as day. I feel sick every time I think of what happened. I don't look for answers, I never did. I don't want to know what it was. I think knowing would be a thousand times worse than remaining clueless.
All I know is that it seems as if there's something other than the fun atmosphere or the job benefits that keep people working at Disney. Maybe there's something more to life in general, something we will never understand until we're dead. Maybe I did just faint though... maybe it was just a costume...

Okay, permit me a bit of squee here.
Ann Leckie, author of the acclaimed "Imperial Radch" trilogy, is coming to Phoenix Comicon.
Leckie rocked the Sci-Fi/Fantasy world in 2014, winning the Hugo, Nebula, Clarke, BSFA and Locus awards with Ancillary Justice. The novel follows Breq, a sentient spaceship whose consciousness inhabits a human body, or ancillary, as she seeks revenge on the imperial leader who destroyed her ship and crew. An unusual premise for a space opera, made all the more intriguing because Leckie only uses female pronouns throughout the novel. She also manages to work her love of tea and shape-note singing into the novel.
The follow-up, Ancillary Sword, came out to equal acclaim last October and has already garnered a Nebula nomination. The Hugo nominations will be announced in a couple weeks, but it is already a heavy favorite.
Seriously, if you haven't read them, pick them up. Now.
The final entry in Leckie's "Imperial Radch" trilogy, Ancillary Mercy, hits stores in October.
Now if only Phoenix Comicon announces Robert Jackson Bennett I'll be happy.
— Michael Senft
