Not many will understand or know the pain of betrayal that leaves deep wounds created by those we've loved as they walk away.
For me, the wounds created began with the title, adulterer. Stories were told while the people in my life clutched hold of gossip and walked away. I patiently waited.
Rumors spread like wildfire. Whispers full of judgement followed by raised eyebrows brought pain that couldn't be ignored. I patiently waited.
The screams of the world yelled fight back. God said, "Be still."
My children cried at the cruelty caused by ignorance. I patiently prayed.
From court hearings filled with lies to documents full of untruths, the fire grew tall and the smoke suffocatingly thick. I patiently waited.
Friend you know the pain. You've sat in that same cold courtroom listening to the words of betrayal. The feelings of darkness from the other side leave you bewildered and questioning your own sanity. You know the dark filled lonely nights full of tears crying out to God for His rescue. You too have heard Him say, "Be still and wait."
Waiting. The hardest part of waiting when you have been trampled, talked about, lied about, and labeled, becomes that of waiting. The longer the wait, the more you begin to believe the lies and you're left questioning all you've done. The longer the wait, you begin to accept the titles. For me, my title became the adulterous woman. But God.
Through all the name calling and shunning, I found something. I found a love like no other. In the midst of pain, I became desperate. A mighty thirst for genuine community and relationship grew deep within my heart. I wanted to know the love and loyalty of a true friend. I prayed and patiently waited.
Suddenly, a door opened and a glorious light shined into my loneliness. As He walked through the door, Jesus wiped away every tear and began mending my broken heart. As He wrapped me in His arms, enormous love and kindness filled His eyes as He said, "You are MINE."
This man began picking up every piece of my broken heart and meticulously worked them into something new. As He worked, He spoke to my broken heart. "You are my beloved child."
How had I forgotten?
For the first time in too many years, my heart began to beat again as the healing words of His truth and love were spoken into my life. His presence and peace overwhelmed me. He cast aside those "names" given by others and replaced the, with "Daughter of The One True King."
You see it is easy to be defined by the words of others. It is easy to fall prey to the attacks of the enemy as he works to discourage and torment leaving us to forget our true identity.
It is easy to forget that sin is sin. Gossip, lies and betrayal. No one is without sin and no amount of "good works" makes us any better than another. The enemy points to our sin and calls us failures but Jesus redeems and calls us His own.
So from one sinner to another and who has been redeemed and restored, take the childish playground name calling and untold truths in stride. Don't allow it to define you. Remember who you are and to Whom you belong. He knows every heart and every thought. He knows what has happened behind closed doors. He knows every ounce of pain and every tear that has fallen. He will rectify all the wrong that has been done. He makes all things new because His mercies are new every morning.
Wait patiently and trust His timing. Allow Him to fight for you because in the end, I can promise you, He will give back to you all that was taken and so much more. When we walk with Him and choose good over evil, we win! Just have faith my sweet friend ❤
With Love,
Daughter of the One True King
"The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm."
Exodus 14:14

To be fair, I suspect that this kind of "we know better than the big guy" stuff has happened in every cabinet since Washington's. Cabinets are filled with Type A folks who have been successful.
Ms Haley says Mr Kelly and Mr Tillerson told her they "weren't being subordinate, they were trying to save the country".
"It was their decisions, not the president's, that were in the best interests of America, they said," she wrote in her book With All Due Respect, which was seen by the Washington Post before its release on Tuesday.
Mr Tillerson, she added, told her people would die if the president were not restrained.
Ms Haley, 47, said she had refused the request from Mr Kelly and Mr Tillerson, and called it "dangerous" and "offensive".
"Instead of saying that to me they should have been saying that to the president, not asking me to join them on their sidebar plan," she told CBS.
"It should have been – go tell the president what your differences are and quit if you don't like what he's doing. But to undermine a president… it is really a very dangerous thing and it goes against the constitution, and it goes against what the American people want. It was offensive."

Maratona Franja BTC City, part of the 2020 UCI Gran Fondo World Series, has been forced to end the event due to coronavirus.
With mass participation sporting events the world over cancelled due to the virus, the organizing committee for the 39th edition had no option but to end the 12-14 June event in Ljubljana, Slovenia due to the situation.
"The Covid 19 virus pandemic, with its consequences, has swept the entire world and has temporarily halted the organization of mass sporting events, including the legendary Franja BTC City Cycling Marathon. Therefore, the BTC City Marathon Organizing Committee has decided to cancel the event in the circumstances, within the scheduled date of June 12-14, 2020," they announced on social media.
The committee in consultation with the UCI left the possibility of holding the race in September or October to qualify participants for the 2021 UCI Gran Fondo World Championships in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
So far, 15 of 29 Gran Fondo World Championship qualifying races have been cancelled due to coronavirus, calling into question the validity of trying to proceed with the 2020 UCI Gran Fondo World Championships in Canada in September.

Q: How does it feel to finally be back out here practicing in pads?
MS: [I'm] thankful. I'm thankful at every opportunity that I have to take the field, but it's good to be back out there and start working on the things that I need to work on. I have to prepare myself for the season. I'm a little bit behind so I've got a little bit of catching up to do, but it's good to be back out there.
Q: Was the injury anything serious or just general maintenance?
MS: I'm back out here now, so I'm happy to be back.
Q: Why did you spend so much time working individually with the coaches?
MS: That's what they wanted me to do today, so stick to the plan.
Q: Would you rather be with everybody else?
MS: I'd rather do whatever Coach [Bill] Belichick wants me to do when I come out here. Whatever that means, I'm going to do it.
Q: Are those one-on-one sessions with the coaches more about working on the fundamentals, and how much do you still look at the little aspects like that this late in your career?
MS: Yeah, they're definitely a fundamental approach. I think that's where Coach Belichick and Coach [Joe] Judge want me to focus on right now. I think that's what this time of year is about. No matter where you are in your career you need to focus on those things because they need to be second nature when you get to the games and you need to be able to execute them. We're going to keep working at that stuff and hopefully progress day by day.
Q: How difficult is it to not be out there on Day 1 of training camp?
MS: Oh, it's tough. You want to be out there with your teammates. You want to go through the process. You want to go through the suffering of camp with them, but sometimes those things are out of your control. Our medical staff and our coaches have always done what they think is best for my health as a player over the course of my career. It was no different in this case. Now I feel good and I'm out there. I'm happy to be out there.
Q: Do you feel like you're competing for a job even at this point in your career?
MS: Absolutely. Every year I've been here I've had to compete for a job, especially with my role, what it is on the team. The lifespan of players like myself is usually not a very long one.
Q: So you've never been comfortable in your time here?
MS: I'm not comfortable as I stand here right now.
Q: What are your thoughts of that core special teams group as a whole right now?
MS: Everybody's doing what they can day by day to get themselves better. I guess there's a sense of urgency you have this time of year understanding that it's football season and there's a lot of work to be done. To the man, everyone has to take it upon themselves to do what they need to do to prepare every day to get better. I'm proud of that group and the strides that everyone's making.
Q: Did you have a relationship with another core special teamer, Eddie Pleasant, from his time down in Houston?
MS: An on-the-field relationship, which wasn't always pleasant.
Q: If I recall, didn't you guys get into it a little bit during a game last year?
MS: No, him and I - we've always been just competitors going at it. I have a lot of respect for what he does, the way that he competes. I think there's a lot I've probably taken from him over the years just by the style that he plays. It's good to have him here.
Q: How important is it for you to listen to your body and take the time needed to return to full strength while also realizing there is a sense of urgency in training camp?
MS: Yeah, it's important. I think there's a thin line between taking the time and being back out here. I don't do a very good job of listening to my body all the time, so I'm trying to learn that even in Year 11. Again, I'm thankful for our training staff and our coaching staff for kind of walking me through this.
Q: How quickly have your eleven years in the NFL gone by?
MS: Man, it's really hard to put into words how quickly it's gone by. I feel like just yesterday I was in that field house doing rookie mini-camp, trying to figure out where I was, didn't know what was going on and here it is, Year 11. I feel very fortunate, very blessed, but when you think about the lifespan of an NFL player and a career, it's very short. Time goes by very quickly, so you've got to try to cherish it and make the most of it.
Q: If you could have made that deal years ago - 11 years in the NFL - would you have taken it on the spot?
MS: Man, absolutely. I was just trying to make a practice squad my rookie year. I didn't know what my future would be in this league, and I'm very grateful for everything I've been able to accomplish here.
Q: Do you still feel like you have a lot of good football left in you?
MS: Absolutely. I mean, it's no mystery a guy in Year 11 is not a spring chicken, but I still love the game, I still love to compete, I still feel like I have a lot to give. So, I'm going to just keep taking that mindset on every day.
Q: How much insight can you give to the rookies that are in the situation you were in 11 years ago trying to make the team?
MS: You know, hopefully I can speak more to the mental challenge of being in that position and try to give those kids some advice and wisdom. I'll try to impart any advice I have as a player and the things that I've learned over the years. I think it's your responsibility as a veteran player to pass it along, to keep the spirit of the game, the spirit of competition moving from generation to generation and the love and appreciation for the game of football. So, I'll try to do that as best I can.
Q: You talked about a guy in Year 11 not being a spring chicken. What's a guy in Year 19 like?
MS: Well, that's Benjamin Button - a totally different situation. I mean, we're all - look, every year that passes by, and no matter what profession you're in, it's a year of change, it's a year of difference in your life personally, things happen. That's life, and life really goes by quickly. You all know that. So, I'm just trying to take it in stride and enjoy that.
Q: Is there any shot at 19 years for you?
MS: Unless my name is Jackie [Slater], I don't think so.
Q: Does it ever strike you that Bill Belichick is well into his 60's and out here in 90-degree weather and just grinding every day?
MS: I mean, sometimes it feels like he's a machine. You know, the motivation hasn't changed since I've gotten here, the hunger. The bar has been set high long ago and it continues to remain high, and I think that's a testament to who he is, how he's wired, his love for the game of football, the passion that he has for it. It's really remarkable, and hopefully as sports fans, we can appreciate what he's in the midst of doing and just enjoy this whole thing.
Q: It really is unique in that he's in the middle of it and everyone reacts to whatever he says. It's almost militarily commanding.
MS: Well, I mean, he's a leader of everything that goes on on this football field. I mean, it probably begins and ends with him. I know he's quick to deflect that and say it's about players, but I think you can't say enough about what he's done and what he's put in place here. It sounds kind of cliché, but the "Patriot way" - it begins and ends with him and Mr. [Robert] Kraft. So, it's really remarkable.
Q: When he deploys a lineman to catch a punt or ends practice with the offense on defense, for a lot of us, it might strike us as a surprise. What does that show about his sense for the football team, and what does it do for the football team?
MS: He's always had a good gauge on the team, where we're at, what we need, when we need it, when to push, when to draw back. He's got a unique feel for that kind of stuff. And to the outside world or someone who's not in there with him every day, it may seem like he's way out of touch, but that's not the case. I think that he's shown that to me, he's proved that to me year-in and year-out that he's always going to try to do what's best for the team so that ultimately we can be successful.
PATRIOTS DEFENSIVE BACK DEVIN McCOURTY
Q: Can you take us through the two plays the defense ran against the offense when the two sides switched roles?
DM: We need a lot of practice. We need a little bit more rules. There was no running game. I don't know, you guys were kind of far, but I mean, we dropped like nine into coverage and rushed two. They had a little bit of an advantage because they rushed Trent [Brown] so that's like rushing three. It's tough for us on offense, but hopefully we do it again and we get another shot at those guys.
Q: It looked like you were doing more game situations today. Is that leading up to the first preseason game?
DM: It always feels like training camp - I think that the years I've been here you always know situational football is a huge part of what Bill [Belichick] teaches us. Every time we get further into camp, situations build. So, like the ones we did Saturday, we start to do those again but then we're adding. Just from watching practice, there's always going to be more, whether it be two-minute, no-huddle, short-yard. As we're starting to put those things together and become a smart football team, you're going to see more of that.
Q: So more stuff is added?
DM: Yeah, we're always going to keep adding. Obviously, with the preseason coming, but even in the spring, you know as we go on, he still adds all of those different situations in there.
Q: Does it feel different that you don't have a team you're having joint practices with this year?
DM: Yeah, I think because since I've been here, maybe we've had one off year. But it seems like we've always had one or two teams where it kind of just changes the camp mentality of us going at each other, back and forth, to it turning into all of us having one common opponent, and we've always loved it. But this year, we have to continue to work with each other and still compete and get each other better each day.
Q: Any idea why you guys made that switch this year?
DM: Like with practices? I don't know. That's above my pay grade.
Q: How much has Bill changed since you've been here? Is he slowing down a little bit?
DM: I don't think so. I mean, you can't ask me like my first four years because I didn't know what was going on anyway. But no, I feel like we're always going at it. I think the cool thing is adding that period at the end where we go offense-defense. But ,they've done that before, not since I've been here, but things like that I think. [Chris] Hogan's playing corner, it gives him perspective and I think it helps us bond as a team. All of those things that we do are a lot of fun.
Q: It's 95 degrees and he's standing out there in that blue pullover and visor. At 66 years old, is that not remarkable?
DM: Yeah, but I feel like I still see those same throwback pictures when he was standing wearing the same gear. So, I don't know if he's slowing down or for him it's just a continuous thing that he just keeps at it. Trust me, he's still on us, from when I got here until now, so that hasn't changed.
Q: Have you shopped for No. 12 yet for his 41st birthday tomorrow?
DM: Nah, he doesn't fit my list of gifts for people. You can see right here my hands are full with trying to find gifts.

Wow! I really can't believe I've been at South Wingfield for half a term, time has certainly flown by. I have really enjoyed getting to know you all and everyone has made me feel very welcome.
This week I have been really impressed with your team work in English, you have written some beautiful poems, well done :). In Maths we have had a 'hands on' week doing lots of measuring and then using your data to make a bar chart. We also enjoyed our first week swimming I'm sure some of you have gills, you swim like little fishes.
Next week we will be continuing with our poetry work but performing them to the class. In Maths we will be moving on to fractions.
I have attached the information for what we will be doing in Spring 2.

In search of a legend, a British scientist and her brother will head into an adventure unlike anything else with the help of a charismatic tour guide. Based on the Walt Disney theme park attraction, Jungle Cruise is an exhilarating ride with a whimsical story that embodies its namesake, alongside wonderful performances.
Dr. Lily Houghton (Emily Blunt) dreams of finding the "Tree of Life", supposedly hidden deep within a jungle. The tree is thought to possess healing powers, which Lily believes will forever change modern medicine. With her uptight brother McGregor (Jack Whitehall) in toe, they venture far from London and hire boat captain "Skipper" Frank Wolff (Dwayne Johnson) to take them on their quest.
As their journey on the river gets underway, they'll discover they aren't the only ones in search of the powerful tree. Leaving them to fight their way through treacherous waters and unkind foes.
A classic boat attraction, not known for its thrills per se, being adapted for the big screen — sounds familiar. While Pirates of the Caribbean proved to be a wickedly successful franchise, Jungle Cruise certainly had the same tall order to fill. Luckily it captures that same magic and adventurous pulse, almost like a Pirates meets The Mummy (1999) hybrid.
The film does a wonderful job of capturing the essence of the original ride, in various ways. Most apparent are the cheesy puns and jokes you hear from the skippers, which makes for an amazing running joke in the film. More cleverly is how they included the aspect of the animatronics, in a very early 20th century kind of way.
While there are pieces to pull from the ride, a lot still needed to be developed for the narrative of a feature film. There's a strong mythos that fuels our characters' journey and it takes some great twists and turns throughout. It has spectacular action sequences that you expect from a great fantasy adventure flick, which amps up the thrills.
But Jungle Cruise doesn't only focus on epic fights and intense stunts, it develops rich characters who bring real heart to the story. Blunt and Johnson are both so charming and have fantastic chemistry with one another. There's an added cleverness to Blunt's character as well that I found so entertaining, and I enjoyed the dynamic with her and Whitehall's character.
The film has some fantastic writing, with a nice balance between humor, action, and emotion. Its comedy adds some nice cheeky moments, which felt reminiscent of 90s and 00s action-adventure films.
Though I will say my only complaint is that the CGI also feels very early 2000s. For a $200M budget, the design in some areas was quite off, especially for Édgar Ramírez's antagonist character. It's certainly not up to par with the incredible Davy Jones look in Dead Man's Chest and it could be distracting in some moments.
In the end, Jungle Cruise very much succeeds in bringing the ride to the big screen, while giving us a great story on top. You can feel the enjoyment from the film and it certainly will leave you wanting to experience it again.
Jungle Cruise arrives in theaters and on Disney+ with Premier Access on July 30th

Mark Zuckerberg's vision for Facebook to make the world a better place apparently includes live-streaming America's pastime to the masses.
Facebook is in discussions with Major League Baseball to secure rights to stream one game per week free on the social platform, as first reported by Reuters.
It wouldn't be a groundbreaking deal, if it comes to fruition: Twitter last summer inked a pact with MLB for rights to live-stream one baseball game per week, which will be exclusive among free over-the-top distributors. Twitter will start a weekly MLB game for the upcoming 2017 season, with the specific schedule yet to be determined. (Also under the MLB Advanced Media deal, Twitter has rights to NHL games.)
But the talks are more evidence of Facebook's efforts to boost video viewing, which includes plans to acquire original scripted and unscripted shows under head of global creative Rick Van Veen. Reps for Facebook and MLB declined to comment.
Like Twitter, Facebook sees live sports as particularly valuable content for driving user engagement. Last week Facebook kicked off its deal with Univision Communications to stream 46 soccer matches from Mexico's Liga MX, including playoff games, in English to Facebook users in the U.S. And last year the social giant was in talks with the NFL for a package of "Thursday Night Football" games, before Twitter secured worldwide rights to those games.
For MLB, a deal with Facebook would give it the potential to expose the league to a global audience of more than 1.8 billion people. One possible sticking point for MLB: Facebook doesn't currently have an established advertising model for live video, although the social player says it has been testing different approaches.
Twitter, by contrast, does sell and serve ads against its live programming. Under its MLBAM deal, Twitter's ad revenue from the live games will go to the league up until a certain threshold is met, after which the parties will split additional ad revenue.
Facebook has been making changes and rolling out new features to encourage viewers to watch longer-form video — not just short bits like Chewbacca Mom. Those include plans to launch apps for Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV and other connected-TV devices, as well modifying the News Feed algorithm to display popular long-form videos.
Separately, MLB this week named Michael Paull, formerly Amazon's VP of digital video, as CEO of BAMTech, the streaming-video venture in which Disney owns a 33% stake. It's worth noting that Amazon has been seeking to obtain rights to live sporting events as well, seeking to add more value to Prime Video.

It is the tradition of some to exchange gifts during this time of year. My family usually agonizes over what to get for me. They tell me that it's frustrating to just try to "read my mind" in order to come up with ideas. One year, my husband just slammed down a piece of paper and a pencil in front of me and said, "Please do your friends a favor and write something down!" I recently had the pleasure of reading the wish list that belonged to my nine-year-old niece Alyssa. It went like this:
Dear Santa:
As you know, I've been a very, very good girl this year. Thanks, in advance, for getting me the things on my list.
Love Alyssa
I would like: My own laptop, blue topaz ring, television, digital camera, magic kit, SpongeBob Season One, decals for my fingernails, crayons and coloring book, etc. (actual list truncated for editorial brevity)
Ok, so assuming that a NASA CIO would actually have friends, or a Santa even, that would want to know what she wants, I will write down a wish list. So here goes:
Dear Santa:
As you know, I've been a very, very good girl this year. I'm especially grateful that Goddard's Center Director signed off on our IT strategy. Thanks, in advance, for making it possible to get the things on my list.
Love Linda
I would like:
· A strong, happy, and healthy family
· To live happily ever after
· Peace on Earth
· Oh, and one more thing … a ring
A strong, happy, and healthy family. A motivated, capable IT workforce to help transform IT management at Goddard. We've been through a lot of turbulence for the past few years. I would like for us to learn about making choices and taking actions. I would like a strong and courageous leadership team who will be capable of leading the workforce through times of change.
To live happily ever after. I would really, really like to see IT be a stronger enabler that helps Goddard meet NASA's mission needs. Some people just think about desktops, laptops, and email – all of this HAS to work, I know. But, I'd like to also see IT better help our scientific and engineering heroes win proposals, build and launch spacecraft and deliver superior science products.
Peace on Earth. IT Governance has to do with: Who makes decisions about IT? How are those decisions made? What is the process of informing those who make the decisions? Are we investing in the right thing? And why? I know this is a lot of work, and may even take years, but if we get this working well, we will have improved security, more interoperability, better information sharing, and better delivery of IT services.
Oh, and one more thing, a ring. I'd like to consolidate the infrastructure as much as practical so that we can reduce costs and increase our ability to secure the perimeter. If we can reduce costs, the savings can be reinvested. If we reduce the cost to secure our perimeter, we can make this problem more and more solvable. Oh, and it will be easier to share information and collaborate with other boys and girls.
Ok, that's all for now. I really, really, really hope I get what I want. I can hardly wait to open my presents.
Linda Cureton, CIO, NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center

2836 Observatory Ave # A,
Cincinnati, OH 45208
Cincinnati's near east side hides a huge number of great little independent restaurants, whether they're local bars, bakeries or pizza shops. But nothing is more under-the-radar that the quiet little delis that populate the eastern hills. Carl's Deli near Hyde Park is the epitome of the under-appreciated art of the Cincinnati sandwich. Cold cuts, salads, soups and seafood can all be found here. A good local sandwich shop is so hard to find, but when you discover one like this, you want to hold on to it dearly. It's got to be one of the best places for a cold sandwich in the city.
The menu has a few dozen base sandwiches plus a number of other specials. You walk in to the tiny deli, order at the counter, and find a seat or take a walk in the scenic neighborhood to enjoy it. Some of my favorites:
- Albacore tuna on rye: A good tuna salad sandwich, but the saltiness of the rye bread offsets the milder tuna flavor. This is a good one to grab a healthy side and take on the go.
- "Joanie's" Hot Crab & Artichoke Salad: Probably one of the favorites here. You know tuna salad and chicken salad — so how would crab salad taste? With artichokes, it tastes about perfect.
- Jo-Mama wrap: This was a special that appeared over the summer that I really get a hankering for now and again. It's a roasted turkey wrap that is topped with a herbed cream cheese and veggies. Light ingredients but filling nonetheless.
- Cole slaw: For good measure, this side is my favorite of the options, many of which also come inside some of the sandwiches. Cool and creamy. Not filling but still packs flavor.
The sandwich shop is a bit crowded, I will say that upfront — the quality of the food speaks for itself. I would not expect to be able to come in during the lunch rush and get a table easily. Instead, this is really a place where it is better to grab a sandwich and go somewhere with it. But the service is exceptional.
This spot has been a mainstay in Cincinnati since 1938, but let me tell you, this spot is addicting. It's the kind of quiet little shop that you remember and just can't quit. You won't want to miss a chance to come back.
- Don't plan to come in and sit down, especially during rush of lunch. The spot is small. Instead, might be good to take food to go.
- There are a lot of bottles and beers to be tried in the back of the shop (don't walk and drink a beer though, please.)
- Absolutely grab some of those special sides to go along with the dishes. Many are made in house.

Many people do not understand what healthy means. Healthy is not the opposite of being sick. Being healthy means that the routine you are under is something which is good for you. Kids are very prone to diseases, which means you have to take precautionary measures to keep them as safe as possible. At the same time you also need to make their routine healthy. If you make their routines healthy at this age they will be able to stay healthy when they grow up too. A lot of people have fitness problem simply because they became so used to sitting inside their homes and overloading on sugary treats that they find it terribly difficult to change their habits.
A note about these tips – Do you know why so many people neglect healthy habits? It is because healthy habits take work. It is easier to just let your kids stay at home and eat whatever they want, to make them better health wise you will need to put in an effort as well. It might take some work but it is totally worth it.
1 – Encourage an active lifestyle
Kids need to run around and play! There are people who do not live in areas where good parks are nearby but you still need to ensure they get as much play time as possible. You will have to drive them to parks and get them involved in sports. If your kids get used to running and being athletic from a young age they will probably stay that way when they grow older as well.
2 – Control their diets
As a parent you have complete control over your child's diet. If you want to make sure that their bodies grow properly and that they don't lack energy you need to control what you feed them. You do not have to avoid sodas and candy completely but you do need to limit it. On the same note, try to delay your child's first sip of soda as much as possible. If you start giving them soda and candy when they are little they will get used to them and will start throwing tantrums when they get older. Limit it in the beginning and you'll be good.
3 – Make food that also includes healthy ingredients
Here's the deal; unless you are a vegetarian household, your children will be craving meat. Burgers and fried chicken may be delicious but they are bad for you and for your kids. You don't have to completely stop eating fast food but you need to limit the intake. The easy way to do it without making your kids hate food is to make food that combines meat with a lot of vegetables. Chicken salads, for example, taste great, contain chicken which kids love while at the same time have lots of healthy vegetables in them. Try to substitute burgers for sandwiches and put a lot of fresh vegetables in the sandwiches. Go easy on the sauces; some of them contain lots of sugar among other harmful ingredients.

The 1990s was a decade that changed the comic book industry forever in any number of ways, whether it was the speculator-fueled boom and bust that killed a number of smaller publishers; massive storylines like the Death of Superman; Spider-Man being replaced temporarily by a clone; the removal of a number of key characters from the Marvel Universe due to publisher decree; or a number of business decisions that have repercussions to this day. Don't take my word for it, though; a new book from TwoMorrows Publishing, American Comic Book Chronicles: The 1990s, explains it all and puts everything into a helpful and easy-to-understand context.
Related Stories
The 288-page hardcover, the latest in the American Comic Book Chronicles series, looks at all of the major news of the 1990s — as well as some of the smaller stories that help elucidate things — in exhaustive detail, covering what author Jason Sacks calls the "most interesting decade in comic book history," although he quickly explains that he means that in the sense of "chaotic or volatile," rather than "enjoyable"… although there's a lot to love in there, as well.
Sacks, who spent four years working on the project, talked to The Hollywood Reporter about the book, the decade and the ways in which the comic book industry is still, in some ways, living in the '90s.
Let's start with something simple. What are the American Comic Book Chronicles? How would you describe it for people not only new to the series, but also comic book culture itself?
ACBC is a comprehensive, decade-by-decade history of the American comic book industry. The '90s book is the sixth volume in the series. Altogether, the series covers the entire history of American comics from 1950 to 1999, and a pair of books on the 1940s are currently in production. Every year within that decade is chronicled in its own chapter. Each hardcover book is 288 pages and contains hundreds of images from comics and related material from that decade. The text of the books is also exhaustive — I wrote about 180,000 words for this one.
One of my favorite aspects of this series is that we don't just tell the history of comics. The books also tell the story of the larger culture. In this book, I discuss the boom and bust in card collecting as part of the story of comics in the '90s and also touch on societal issues like the boom in violent crimes and the Clinton election. There also is a rise of vigilante-type characters — all those stereotypical heroes with the words "dead," "death" and "blood" in their names — at around the same time the crime rate in America was surging to historical levels.
For someone looking to understand the comics business, the book also tells an important business story; the big story of that decade is a massive boom and an equally precipitous bust, and the poor business decisions alone tell a fascinating story. In that way, I think the '90s book can be read as a business book, or even as a bit of a tragedy, as young creators flew a bit too close to the sun and then saw their own egos cause them to flutter back to earth.
But most of all, I think readers will find ACBC90s to be a wonderful coffee-table book that's fun to flip through and which will spark a lot of nostalgia and comments like "I never knew that!" I had a lot of fun putting together this book, and I think readers will have a lot of fun looking through it.
One of the things that really impressed me was the breadth of what's covered: The book gives a surprisingly deep, full explanation of the decade in comic book culture as a whole, from the mainstream publishers to the indies, and also the ways in which it interacted with pop culture as a whole. How did you approach the process of summarizing what was, in almost every respect, one of, if not the, most eventful decades for the industry as a whole?
The most important way of choosing what was important was by the impact an event had across the decade. My excellent editor, Keith Dallas, preached over and over that we needed to approach this book like writing a novel rather than a series of events. We wanted context rather than a simple Wikipedia-style recitation of events. With that in mind, I started by choosing the most important events of the decade as the skeleton of the book.
Some stories make for great through-lines. For instance, the quixotic Tundra Comics was started in 1990 and eventually breathed its last in '97. Valiant also released their first comics in '90 and closed the decade with the appropriately-named Unity 2000. Marvel's bankruptcy was a story that spanned many years, and the rise of the Image creators was one of the most complicated and fascinating events of the decade. We also profile some of the most important writers and artists of the era. The career arcs of people like Jim Lee, John Byrne and Warren Ellis tell a lot about how comics changed during that decade.
The problem is that there was so much interesting stuff to write about. We had to be a million miles wide and ten inches deep for some topics. In a survey book like this one, we often had to sacrifice detail for comprehensiveness. This decade was packed with interesting events and I wish we'd had more space to discuss them. For instance, there's a great book to be written about the indie and small press movement of the '90s. Hmm…maybe I should think about writing that book!
I'm genuinely curious about your research process. The book quotes everything from original interviews to fanzines and magazines of the period. How did you get the information you needed?
One of the decisions I made going into this book was to quote contemporary sources as much as possible because peoples' memories get mixed up over the years. I thought it was important to look at as many vintage magazines from the era as possible. So I have a full run of Wizard, The Comics Journal, Marvel Age, Hero Illustrated and the like. Rereading articles and interviews from that time gave a ton of great context. It was also fascinating to read a near-complete run of Comics Retailer magazine to get a ton of insight on the retail side of things. There were few things more pertinent to the history told in this book than reading a comment about the sales of the [DC 1994] Zero Hour crossover from a retailer in Michigan.
As an example, when researching Tundra Comics, The Comics Journal ran fascinating, in-depth interviews with [publisher] Kevin Eastman and Steve Bissette that told that incredible story in all its gory detail. I did some cross-checking of those two interviews against an Amazing Heroes article, found a book which profiles [Kitchen Sink Press publisher] Denis Kitchen, who was swept into the company, and reached out to my friend Dave Elliott for more details and used that to tell the story as I understood it. That level of detail ended up helping me tell a complex story in nice detail.
That got a little more complicated when telling stories about which there still was controversy. I heard four or five stories about how and why Jim Shooter left Valiant Comics. For something like that, all I could do was to try to share the stories and let the reader find a story that worked for them.
The '90s was the decade that saw a sea change in the distribution of comic books, of where and who sold comic books, or who published comic books, of the entire audience of comic books, even — the reference to a "lost generation" midway through the book because of everything that had happened hits hard. What was it about that decade in particular that made all this possible, do you think?
The story of the '90s really begins in the 1980s. Comics were always about star creators, but by 1986, people like Frank Miller and Alan Moore had became iconic. Younger artists like Jim Lee and Todd McFarlane were watching as that happened. At the same time as Miller and Moore became stars, the Ninja Turtles became a phenomenon which showed there actually was the chance to get rich quick creating and selling comics. Then there was the 1989 Tim Burton Batman movie, which showed comics could get attention and popularity from the general public. During those few years, McFarlane was becoming a star on Amazing Spider-Man, and he was paying attention to what was happening to the older generation.
Those trends came to a head in 1990 with McFarlane's "adjectiveless Spider-Man," which set him up as a star creator and sold a cumulative 2.35 million copies. That comic showed a young star creator could sell a crazy number of comics and demonstrated to people both inside and outside comics that there was a new era dawning.
From there, the '90s as we think of them really started. The next year Jim Lee's X-Men No. 1 sold over 8 million copies, and that runaway sales success sparked the gold rush of people looking to pay their kids' college funds with profits from holographic issues of Fantastic Four, The Death of Superman, Turok: Dinosaur Hunter and Youngblood. When they found their copy of Bloodshot No. 1 was worthless because everyone owned that comic, that helped spark the bust in sales that crushed the industry for the rest of the decade.
Looking back, it's curious to see the ways in which today's comic book industry mirrors the '90s, and the ways things are entirely different. DC, arguably, is the same company as it was for most of the '90s, and has remained essentially stable throughout, but Marvel went bankrupt in the '90s after a series of increasingly unfortunate business decisions that almost happened to the company as opposed to being made by the company. When you were researching the book, were there moments of seeing parallels of yesterday in today, or just the opposite?
History doesn't repeat but it echoes, right?
That said, the entire focus of the industry has shifted since 1999. In 1993, comics were a collectible item and cultural force in and of themselves. The creation of Image Comics was covered on CNN, and the Death of Superman was front-page news when there were limited media outlets. That wave of interest was mostly dissipated by the time of the late '90s, but by 1999, comics were seen as a budding art form in which mainstream creators could create quirky work like Planetary, The Authority, Tom Strong, Battle Chasers and Danger Girl.
That said, everything changed in 1998 when the Blade film hit big and when talk began to focus on the 2000 X-Men film. Once Hollywood saw what comics could become, it sparked a new wave of interest in comics as a kind of IP house for the movie and TV industry. And though it's cool we have obscure characters like Iron Fist and Doom Patrol on the small screen.
Are there lessons from the '90s that you think have been learned by publishers and have shaped the comic book industry as it is today? For that matter, are there lessons that haven't been learned, but which you want to pass on?
More than anything, the key lesson learned has been the importance of trade paperbacks [TPBs]. The first TPBs started reaching bookstores by the late '90s, spurred in large part by the growth of Vertigo series like Sandman, Hellblazer, Transmetropolitan and Preacher. Quality trades in bookstores equaled more stable sales, which helped the comics industry tremendously.
The lesson I wish the industry would learn is the importance of shipping comics on a consistent monthly schedule. When the Image creators, especially Rob Liefeld, couldn't meet their deadlines for the Deathmate crossover [co-published by Image and Valiant in 1993 and 1994], it triggered a massive cash-flow crisis that crushed the industry. We run a similar risk today with comic series that don't ship on time — though the industry has taken steps to mitigate the pain.
I also think the move to a single distributor has hurt American comic books tremendously. We saw a certain amount of arrogant inattention from Diamond when they won the '90s distributor wars, and that inattention has only gotten worse. It's clear that competition would have helped that problem, but that just doesn't seem like it will ever happen.
Along similar lines, were there forgotten gems of 1990s comic books that you discovered while working on the property?
There's a lot of forgotten gems from the '90s. Enemy Ace: War Idyll by George Pratt from 1991 is a fascinating meditation on war. Stuck Rubber Baby by Howard Cruise is an excellent autobiographical graphic novel that ties the civil rights movement to his coming out of the closet. City of Glass by David Mazzucchelli and Paul Karasik is a brilliant and transcendent graphic novel experience.
As far as mainstream comics, pre-Unity Valiant Comics are super solid superhero comics. Kurt Busiek and Sean Chen's Iron Man from '98 and '99 crosses Tony Stark with James Bond and is super fun. Busiek's Untold Tales of Spider-Man is also a treat. Jim Shooter's Broadway Comics had promise. Amalgam Comics from 1996 and '97 are silly, offbeat treats. Peter David's '90s Supergirl series is underrated. And though it's not obscure, I was surprised how well the big Batman: No Man's Land storyline holds together.
This also was a big decade for indie comics. Most people remember Strangers in Paradise, but there were dozens of wonderful small press comics like Swan, Scud the Disposable Assassin, Through the Habitrails, Jar of Fools, Castle Waiting, Age of Bronze, Tales From the Bog and much more.
Is there some misunderstanding about the 1990s you feel the book dispels? Or were we all right about the decade the first time around? What did we get wrong?
That everything from the decade is cheesy, badly illustrated or created as a cash-in in some way. The quarter bins are filled to overflowing copies of Brigade, X-O Manowar and Clone Saga Spider-Man, and a lot of that material is pretty dire. But the '90s was also a decade when creators were able to break free of the constraints that held them back. We got smartly created big splashy commercial hits like Grant Morrison's JLA and Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross' Marvels. We got great small press books like Bone and Strangers in Paradise. We got a whole line of comics from Alan Moore out of the ashes of a different aborted line by him.
More than anything, we got a tremendous amount of interesting creative work, which helped change the comics world as we know it. The '90s in comics were a revolution, and we're still living in the shadow of that revolution today.

Throughout the offseason, NewYorkJets.com reporters Eric Allen, Ethan Greenberg, Randy Lange and Olivia Landis will each give their predictions to a series of questions regarding this year's Jets.
Today's question: After a heartbreaking loss, what do you expect from the Jets against the Seahawks?
EA: The Jets are a prideful club and they've remained resilient in the most trying of times. Four of their past six contests have been one-possession losses and there is no sign of quit. Inside linebacker Neville Hewitt said this week on The Official Jets Podcast that, "Make the most of this opportunity because you never know what game, what day is going to be your last play. If you don't give it your all you're going to regret it." The effort is unquestionable and it will be there again come 1:05 Pacific time at Luden Field. While the Jets haven't won anywhere in 2020, they've had their best efforts at MetLife Stadium. In five road games, they've averaged 12.2 points and they haven't eclipsed 9 points in three of those contests. Conversely, they've yielded 31.2 points on average away from home and opponents have reached 34 points in three games. A fast start is imperative for a group that has faced this amount of adversity, and scoring on their opening possession for a seventh consecutive game — which would be a franchise record — would be huge for the Green & White. They are going to take Seattle's best punch after the Seahawks' disappointing home loss to the cross-town Giants and I'm very excited to watch Sam Darnold match up with NFL's 32nd-ranked pass defense plus interim defensive coordinator Frank Bush calling signals for a unit that must contend with Russell Wilson & Co.
EG: I expect a hard-fought game. C Connor Govern said you wouldn't be able to guess the team's record based on the way it practices and the team is preparing like every week is its last game. I think the Jets will try to pick up where they left off with their rushing attack. Led by Ty Johnson, who became the first Jet since 2018 to eclipse 100 yards, the Green & White totaled 206 yards on the ground. While the strength of the Seahawks defense is its rush defense (No. 5 – 97.7 yds/g), the best way to keep QB Russell Wilson off the field is by running the ball. That group also let up 190 rushing yards to the Giants last week in a 17-12 loss at Luden Field. I expect Wilson & Co. to want to come out firing. Jets' former LB Bart Scott said to use Seattle's loss last week as a blueprint on The Official Jets Podcast: "Keep [Wilson] on the bench and force him to have to be great the few possessions you get. Take the air out of the ball and hope you capitalize to get seven instead of three." QB Sam Darnold should have opportunities through the air against the NFL's No. 32-ranked pass defense even without WR Denzel Mims, who is dealing with a personal issue according to Head Coach Adam Gase. The Green & White needs to come out fast to have a chance against one of the better teams in the NFC.
RL: I expect the Jets to move the ball. Sam Darnold and the offense did that for much of the game vs. the Raiders, posting their most total yards in the past year, their most rushing yards in the past two years and Darnold's best passer rating in a year. Plus the Seahawks have been weak against the pass. Specifically I expect the Jets to stack a second game onto last week's offensive foundation of better red zone and third-down play vs. Seattle's 28th-ranked RZ defense and No. 27 third-down D. I expect Seahawks S Jamal Adams to get a sack of Darnold, just one, since he's got Hawks-leading totals of 7.5 sacks and 13 QB hits. I expect the Jets defense not to hold down Russell Wilson the way the Giants did in Seattle last week when Wilson managed just 10 offensive points and 309 drive yards, both season lows. But in his first 11 games, he and his offense averaged 30 points and 397 drive yards. Even with Seattle's long injury list and a new Jets D-coordinator at the controls in Frank Bush, it seems unlikely the Jets will contain "Russ," as HC Pete Carroll calls his QB. Will all this lead to a close game down to the final gun? Call me a cockeyed optimist but yes, I expect the Jets to keep things interesting all the way against a team that has played five single-possession games out of their six at Lumen Field (renamed from CenturyLink Field just last month) in 2020.
OL: I expect the game to look a little different offensively, starting with the run game. Last week, the Jets rushed for 206 yards, the most since 2018. By finding success with the run, that opened up opportunities in the passing game. Seattle's defense, however, is ranked No. 5 overall in rushing yards allowed per game (97.7) and No. 7 in rushing yards allowed per play (3.96). A big reason the Seahawks' run defense has been effective is S Jamal Adams — a player the Jets are all too familiar with. In a press conference this week, HC Adam Gase addressed the challenge ahead with Adams, acknowledging his ability to stop the run. Adams has also recorded 7.5 sacks this year and 13 QB hits — the most by any other safety in the league. I expect the Green & White to turn more heavily to the passing game. The Seahawks defense has struggled in the passing game this season, ranking No. 32 in the league in passing yards allowed per game (309.8). With WR Denzel Mims out this week, the task will be greater, but I expect to see QB Sam Darnold connect with his teammates in the passing game more heavily this Sunday.

Council transfers I-49 funds with strings attached
More than half a million dollars earmarked for Interstate 49 neighborhood improvements can't be spent without approval from the Lafayette City-Parish Council.
The council on Tuesday agreed to transfer $550,000 from the public works transit division to be spent on the I-49 Corridor Plan with the caveat that projects must be identified and voted on by the council before the money is spent.
The money is federal funds remaining from construction of the Rosa Parks Transportation Center and is being used to match a Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant that Lafayette Consolidated Government was awarded to address neighborhoods surrounding the proposed 5.5-mile proposed I-49 project, said Tom Carol, interim public works director.
"The public really has spoken and wants to be part of this," Council Vice Chairman Kenneth Boudreaux said. "Before any expenditures are allotted, I want it to come back to the council so the public has the opportunity to speak about them."
The TIGER grant work was supposed to begin before the state highway department and consultants began designing the I-49 connector, Carol said. But the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development's planning began earlier than anticipated and incorporated some of the neighborhood work the TIGER grant was to address. As a result, DOTD is about four to six months ahead of LCG and the TIGER grant focus had to be modified.
Grant to help protect neighborhoods from I-49
Carlee Alm-Labar, director of planning, zoning and development, said DOTD is responsible primarily for construction of the interstate, with three committees overseeing work on what the structure coming through Lafayette's urban core will look like. The TIGER grant work will be planned by local people and overseen by the Evangeline Thruway Redevelopment Team, which will report to the council regularly, she said.
"The only people who are truly going to have the interest of the people in mind are those working on the TIGER grant," Boudreaux said.
Unfortunately, he said, not everyone on the Evangeline Thruway Redevelopment Team are from the neighborhoods directly impacted by the proposed interstate.
"We always lose sight of who is directly affected," Boudreaux said.
Interested in learning more about the I-49 project? Want to have input? Attend one or all of these upcoming meetings:
Thursday, 6:30 p.m., the Sierra Club (Acadiana Group) is hosting its second Y-49 grassroots forum at First United Methodist Church, 703 Lee Ave., downtown Lafayette.
* Saturday, 9 a.m. to noon, a half-day workshop hosted by the Lafayette connector team in which residents and business owners can discuss and help envision what the 5.5-mile section of I-49 from Lafayette Regional Airport to Interstate 10 may look like. The workshop will be held at Progressive Community Outreach Center, 125 Gallian St., Lafayette. Registration starts at 8 a.m.
* Jan. 26, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., Community Work Group meets at Lafayette's main library, 301 W. Congress St. The public may attend but is not allowed to comment.
* Jan. 27, 10 a.m. until noon, Technical Work Group meets at Lafayette's main library, 301 W. Congress St. The public may attend but is not allowed to comment.

It's been a dark two weeks for the Detroit Lions. After an impressive first three quarters in the Week 1 opener against the Chicago Bears, there has been little positivity around the Lions. An ugly collapse ensued at home against Chicago, followed by an abysmal, defenseless rout at the hands of the Green Bay Packers.
Head coach Matt Patricia has borne the brunt of the blame. His defensive scheme is flatly not working, generating the lowest pressure rate in the league and still looking for its first takeaway of the 2020 season.
In his Zoom press conference with reporters on Wednesday, Patricia ended with a note about trying to stay positive and optimistic amidst the enveloping darkness. When asked if he still saw light at the end of the tunnel, Patricia paused and responded,
"I think you have to. I mean for us – you know me – we've got to always try to get better, we've got to try to improve. If you're a person that walks around without seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, then man, that's probably not a good day."
The tone of the questioning throughout the entire presser was more pointed and critical of the team than typical, something both fellow Lions Wire editor Erik Schlitt and I noted immediately after it concluded. Patricia's train is barreling deeper into the tunnel, and his responses appear to indicate he's aware of it.
If Patricia doesn't stop the ongoing descent into the losing darkness, he might soon learn that Metallica's "No Leaf Clover" lyrics are prescient,
Then it comes to be that the soothing light
At the end of your tunnel
Is just a freight train coming your way

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (CNS) -- The 112th Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade has been canceled because of concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Steve Rosansky, president and CEO of the event's sponsor, the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce, said organizers had made a number of concessions to limit congregating and encourage social distancing during the parade, which was set to begin Dec. 16 and go through Dec. 20.
"We did a lot of things in advance for planning for the parade, but even with all of those things we couldn't control the situation enough,'' Rosansky said. "The safety of our residents, of our boaters, of our businesses and employees who work in them are much more important than the parade.''
For the first time, organizers were planning to televise the holiday event on social media and local cable so some viewers could watch it from home, Rosansky said. "We canceled our fireworks opening and closing nights, we canceled the opening party in Marina Park to try to keep from holding large gatherings, and we were going to put out a lot of messaging about masks and social distancing.''

But the state's move to push the county back into the most-restrictive purple tier of the state's coronavirus regulatory system convinced the chamber's board of directors on Wednesday to cancel the event, Rosansky said.
"I've been watching on TV and our coronavirus numbers are doubling here in Orange County and we're doing well compared to other counties,'' he said.
"The chamber CEO noted that the annual parade is a draw regionally. The parade attracts hundreds and thousands of people over five nights,'' he said. "You're going to get a lot of people congregating and we can't control those situations.''
Some local residents were concerned because there are many seniors who live along the ocean in the city, Rosansky said. Older residents are at the highest risk for COVID-19.
The reaction has been mixed. Some residents have thanked the chamber and others are angered the event was canceled.
"Newport Beach Mayor Will O'Neill praised the decision. I know how much the tradition of the boat parade means to the chamber, the residents, business owners, and visitors to the city,'' the mayor said. Even so, the chamber is to be commended for their leadership and sacrifice. I look forward to a bigger and better celebration in 2021.''
"The cancellation is a disappointment to the chamber and the city as the event generates millions of dollars in our community every year for businesses, for restaurants for the Balboa Bay Resort,'' Rosansky said, describing the event as "some of the five busiest days of the year.''
The last time the parade was canceled was probably during World War II, Rosansky said.
"Our hope was to finish the year on a high note,'' he said. It's been a crappy year, let's finish on a high note. We held out as long as we could.''
The parade's sister event, the "Rings of Lights,'' will continue. Harbor homeowners who decorate their homes and enter the contest will still win awards, which will be announced on Dec. 15.

Title: No Ordinary Star
Author: M.C. Frank
Pub. Date: November 25, 2015
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
A soldier is summoned to the North Pole, days before the year changes, told to fix the great Clock for a celebration. He has no idea what to do.
A girl, hunted for the crime of being born, almost dies out on the ice. She is rescued by the last polar bear left alive.
A library waits for them both, a library built over a span of a hundred years, forgotten in the basement of an ice shack.
The world hasn't known hunger or sickness in hundreds of years. It has also forgotten love and beauty.
The year is 2525.
Inspired by the short stories of Ray Bradbury, this futuristic novel is set in a world where Christmas -among other things- is obsolete and a Clock is what keeps the fragile balance of peace.
I was wary going into this book, because I read Salt for Air by the same author and was not a fan. I definitely enjoyed this book more, and want to read the next two books, but I still had some issues with it.
I'm really not a fan of this author's writing style, but for the sake of the story (which I'm interested in) I can deal with it. To be honest, it felt a little juvenile and it needed some more editing. I thought that maybe I could push past it, just ignore it and keep reading, but ultimately, I couldn't. The writing style was so in my face and my distaste for it continued to grow. I put so much effort into just focusing on the story and ignoring the writing style, but damn was it hard. I also wish that the story wasn't broken up into three books. It's not like a traditional trilogy, where each book tends to have its own arc, but is only 1/3 of the story. This book was literally just 1/3 of the story, and not a very long one at that. So I'm kind of annoying I'm going to have to pay over $20 just to finish the last 2/3 of the story.
I don't see a reason why it was split into three separate books, except for monetary purposes. I could be wrong, but from my end, that's what it looks like. But I'm also the person who will buy the books to finish the freaking story, so…
Also, can we all just agree that Utopias suck. So much. They can't actually exist and legitimately every book that has a utopia in it, they are crap places to live. Like, no thanks.
Onto the two main characters – I don't really feel strongly about either of them, either way. Well, actually, my whole feeling towards the book is 'meh' – not good not bad, has some issues, but the story is interesting. Though, I do think that the quality and style of writing negatively impact the story as a whole. I think I just need to agree that this author just isn't for me. I strongly feel like the author needed to clean up their writing.
I haven't read the Bradbury works that inspired these books, so I can't speak to the original, but I'm sure they are good.
Though, with that all being said, I am glad that I gave this author another chance. Salt for Air left me so disappointed I almost didn't pick this other book up. Once I finish this 'trilogy' I don't think I'll read anything else by this author. For such short books, there is no reason for me to have to literally struggle and drag myself through them. Overall, it was an interesting story, and since I haven't read the Bradbury piece, it felt unique.

Why are expenses so high for school for the deaf?
As voters prepare to consider the Christina Board of Education's latest operating referendum request on May 27, they may wish to ask district officials to explain the high cost of operating Delaware School for the Deaf/Statewide Programs for Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and Deaf Blind (DSD).
Here are some of the contributing factors. You may view documentation of these facts at the Department of Education school profiles web site, http://profiles.doe.k12.de.us/, at the DSD web site, http://www.dsdeaf.org/ and in the Christina District's FY'15 budget document, http://www.christinak12.org/ourpages/auto/2013/1/14/49996585/FY2015-Final-Budget.pdf.
• At the beginning of the current school year, DSD had an enrollment of 112.
• The staff directory lists 10 administrators and administrative assistants, 25 teachers, three specialists, five speech-language pathologists, 24 paraprofessionals, and 32 other staff members. Not all of these 99 individuals work full time at DSD.
• Seventeen of the teachers work at the East Chestnut Hill Road campus of DSD. The other eight are designated as Statewide Services teachers.
• The number of students for each administrator at DSD is less than 19. By comparison, Jennie E. Smith Elementary School, which is next door to DSD, has a ratio of 282 students per administrator.
• DSD occupies a $43 million campus with a capacity in excess of 200 students.
• The cost of educating a student at DSD is about $103,000 per year. This figure comes from dividing DSD's budget for the year ending June 15, 2015 ($11,601,490) by the enrollment of 112. The overall average expenditure per pupil in Christina in the 2012-13 school year was a little more than $13,000. The grassroots advocacy group, Choices Delaware, estimates the per capita cost of educating and providing special education supports for a child with hearing loss in a mainstream setting is about $30,000. Another way to look at $103,000 per year: it's 63 percent more than the tuition, fees, room, and board at Harvard University.
For all the money that's spent, however, the educational results aren't there. According to the report of the House Resolution 20 Deaf Education Task Force in June 2014, more than 60 percent of DSD's 9th graders were performing at Level 1 (well below standard) on the Delaware Comprehensive Assessment System tests in each of the three school years starting in the fall of 2010. The report's author rationalized this performance with the following statement: "As a reminder, students with IEPs require specialized instruction and therefore most are expected to have some academic gaps." In response to this statement, Daniese McMullin-Powell, Chair of the State Council for Persons with Disabilities (SCPD), wrote the following in a June 26, 2014 letter to the Members of the House of Representatives:
"SCPD strongly objects to this generalized expectation of students who are deaf and hard of hearing to perform at lower levels. This is an alarming statement and may result in students with hearing loss ultimately not having the same opportunities in life as everyone else."
Explaining this performance gap is beyond the scope of this article. But the gap is consistent with studies of educational outcomes at schools for the deaf over a long period and a wide geography. Typically, 18-year-old graduates of schools for the deaf have a fourth-grade reading level. Unquestionably, some of the students at DSD have multiple disabilities, and this may account for some but certainly not all, of this outcome deficit.
About 95 percent of all children born with hearing loss have parents who have typical ("normal") hearing themselves. Studies show that a large majority of such parents – when they have complete and unbiased information about language options for their children – will choose what is called listening and spoken language, as opposed to a visual communication modality such as one of the forms of sign language, for their children. If children have appropriate intervention (amplification and, if necessary, cochlear implantation by 12 months, followed by auditory-verbal therapy as infants and auditory-oral education as pre-schoolers), most of them will have educational outcomes that approach those of their typically hearing peers by the early years of elementary school.
Again, some children with co-occurring disabilities that affect cognition or spoken language acquisition can benefit from a DSD education. In any event, parents should have an unbiased, informed choice of educational options, one of which should be a school for the deaf.
Education of children with disabilities in the least restrictive environment is more than something that's nice to have. It's a long-established public policy that has the force of federal law (the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1990) behind it. There are about 14,000 births in Delaware each year. Given a national incidence of hearing loss of 1.3 newborns per 1,000, we expect about 18 Delaware babies per year to be deaf or hard of hearing at birth. One wonders, therefore, why Delaware needs a heavily staffed, segregated school for the deaf with a capacity of 200 students in a $43 million facility.
If you are a concerned taxpayer, consider asking Christina officials to do something about the high cost of operating Delaware School for the Deaf before you approve the next referendum.
If you are the parent of an infant newly diagnosed with hearing loss, make sure that you educate yourself about all the options available to you. The educational solution that Delaware officials have traditionally offered parents has been a referral to Delaware School for the Deaf. Many school districts are content to understaff in the area of supports for children with hearing loss because DSD is willing and able to take as many students as possible. If you want your child educated in a mainstream setting, you may need to fight for it. There is an advocacy group, http://choices-delaware.org, ready to help you.
Dr. Nick Fina is a consultant and project leader of Choices Delaware, a six-year-old organization working for change in Delaware public policy on education of children with hearing loss. He has a profound hearing loss.

Buying or selling a house can be an overwhelming task. With a wide range of real estate services, it can be compelling to hire the first agent and sell your house right away. Being in such a hurry can be devastating in the long run. If you have decided to sell your home, you need to check the real estate prices and make a fair deal.
Don't Over Price
Selling a home requires patience. When pricing a house, you must make sure that you don't place an unrealistic price. Most sellers make the mistake of overpricing their property. As a result, the house stays on the market without being sold. Keep the asking price at the nominal rate. You can always negotiate if the buyers name a low price or simply reject an offer that is too low.
Also Read: What To Do When You Get Too Many Cash Offers for Your House?
If you are buying a new house, you must offer a reasonable price. Don't let the stress of an overpriced house ruin your finances. Stick to your budget and choose the house that suits your needs. With a wide range of prices available on the internet, you can always get the right price on your terms.
Display The Property
Putting up pictures on the internet is the cheapest way to sell your house. Use a wide-angle camera and take pictures of all the sweet spots in your home. Choose natural light to highlight the most attractive sections of the property. Redecorate if you need to. Your investment will be rewarded in the form of a quick sale and easy money.

Get A Legit Insurance Policy
An insurance policy is a must-have for a smooth transaction between you and your seller or buyer. You can get complete coverage for the house and any problems that might be brought up after the sale. Any repairs that might be needed in the house after you have sold it will be easily covered by the insurance policy. It will also give you room to negotiate the right price.
Get An Inspection
Hiding the faults of the property from the buyers can lead to bigger problems in the future. It is better to get an inspection of all the major defects of the house and fix them in time. If you don't get rid of the defects then you will have to sell your house at a lower price. A few dollars spent on repairs will be an investment as you sell your property at the right price.
Refurbish Your Home
Before inviting people to check out the details of your home, you need to refurbish it. An open house sale of an unkempt property will simply reduce the price. Clean out your house and add some furnishings to make it look fabulous. People want to buy a house that is both functional and appealing.
Compare and Contrast
Canvass the market for all kinds of prices and houses before you settle on one as your final choice. Take advice from a real estate consultant to reach the right price. As a first-time homebuyer, you will have to do more than just trust your instincts. With professional advice, you will be able to make a fair deal.
Proof Of Funds
Before you make a contract with a buyer, ask them for a "proof of funds" or a pre-approval letter. It will convince the buyers that you will be able to pay for your mortgage well before time. Some buyers try to cover their dues by selling their property, delaying the payment until their house is sold.
Decide A Down Payment Beforehand
When you make the final deal, make sure that you decide on a down payment. Don't get too ambitious when finalizing the down payment. Fix a reasonable down payment to pay up your dues in time. Buy a property that is within your financial scope to get the best deal.
Buying a house requires more than just the basic layout. You need to look at the location as well as the neighborhood. If you are going to live in the house for most of your adult life, it is better to take a good look at the surroundings before you move in. The price range also varies when you are buying or selling a home in a particular location. Choose the one that has all the facilities such as a hospital, school, and shops nearby.
Do An Open House Tour?
With everything going virtual, virtual tours are all the rage nowadays. Virtual tours allow you to have a more detailed look at the property you are buying. You might not be able to take in the smells, but you can spot all the positive and negative aspects of the property you will be buying or selling.

Choose The Right Real Estate Agent
No matter how much you read into the process of buying or selling homes, a little professional advice can go a long way. With a trustworthy real estate agent, you can get the buy or sell your home without worry. Look for experience as well as the number of listings secured by the real estate agent. If the real estate agent has extensive experience, then you can rely on his or her expertise to buy or sell your home.
Dealing in real estate is not easy especially if you are a first-time buyer or seller. Take the advice of your real estate agent in your stride and let the expert handle the transaction. Buying or selling will become much easier if you follow the advice of your real estate agent. You can specify the kind of location you want and the type of neighborhood you would like to live in. It is always wise to do a little research before entering a real estate deal. If you use these solid tips before you buy or sell your home you are less likely to make any mistakes and find the property of your dreams.

Definition 2 of the Late Apex: Intentionally make your apex slightly later than the optimum apex.
Note that implicit in this definition is that there is a known optimum apex location (maybe considered to be the same for all cars, or maybe not) and the driver chooses, maybe for safety reasons, not to apex at that point, but apex a little bit later. This definition has nothing to do with the geometric center of a corner. The optimum apex might be before the center or after the center, but the "late" apex is later than where the optimum apex is considered to be.
Usually the instructor of a novice student (who won't know where the optimum apex is located in any case) simply shows the student where this "late" apex is located and the student practices precisely hitting that exact spot.
Let's assume we have a moderately powerful car that needs to late apex a geometrically perfect 90 degree corner per late apex definition 1 that we discussed earlier. Here's our old Figure 2, repeated, to show us just such a situation, perhaps with the lateness of the apex slightly exaggerated at B'.
Now imagine John Wannagofast in his 505Hp Zed06 Corvette at his first track day. Johnny's instructor takes one look as his gold chains, leather pants, loafers with no socks and sticker Hoosiers on the car and knows he's in trouble. While the line and apex location shown in Figure 2 might be exactly the way the instructor would drive John's car, what he's worried about is that John will not be very precise in his driving and may, in a testosterone-fueled frenzy brought on by being forced to give a point-by to a Miata with front fenders in two different colors, enter Turn 3 (let's call it) too fast and apex too early. This is the driving line shown below in Figure 9 where I've drawn an arrow to indicate where, by accident, a novice might apex. Once that has happened there's almost no way the car, in the hands of said novice, doesn't leave the paved surface, maybe even spinning as it disappears down an embankment in search of a tire wall.
Here's what happens instead: the instructor gets in his car and zips out to turn 3 and plops a cone down on the inner edge right at B" where I've shown the blue square in Figure 10, below.
The instructor now tells John, as they circle the course in the parade laps, that the way to take this corner is to get slowed down nice and early, turn in smartly as you come off the brakes, follow an arc around to the cone and then add throttle. About the 3rd session of the day the instructor may even suggest trying to get on the gas early, even before the cone is reached. Just make sure to get close to the cone and then allow the car to track-out to the left edge as you accelerate down the ensuing straight to be set up for the next corner.
This is the longer-dashed and bolded driving line shown in Figure 10.
Problem fixed.
John is now highly unlikely to go agricultural at turn 3. The instructor has built in a margin of safety while giving John plenty of good stuff to work on. Some people used to think (some still do) that this line, by virtue of allowing the start of acceleration to be earlier than the apex, will reduce the lap time because the average speed in the following straight is faster. They were wrong, but that's another subject.

Senator plans to honor Jimmy Long's legacy
Political legend Jimmy Long, who died in a car accident last summer, may soon be memorialized in the name of the school for which he was the catalyst in the 1980s while serving in the Louisiana House of Representatives.
Senate Bill 1 by Sen. Francis Thompson, D-Delhi, would add Long's name to the Louisiana School for Math, Science and the Arts. It will be debated during the regular Legislative Session that begins in April.
"He was without question the most significant person in founding this amazing school in Louisiana," said Thompson, who was a colleague of Long's in the House. "We were together in North Carolina touring a similar school and I said, 'This would make a good fit in Delhi,' and he said, 'But it would make a better fit in Natchitoches (Long's hometown).'"
Long, who served in the House from 1968-2000, authored the legislation creating the school and placing it on the Northwestern State University campus in Natchitoches.
It was the second state-supported residential school of its kind. The first was the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, which Long and Thompson visited.
"It's one of the premier schools in the country," Thompson said. "It's an outstanding center where students from all over the state can come and pursue their academic dreams."
Long also served on the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors after his retirement from the House and until his death.
University of Louisiana System President Jim Henderson, formerly the Northwestern State president, was close to Long.
"Anything that honors the memory of an education giant like Jimmy Long is a good thing," Henderson said. "I know how instrumental he was in creating what has become one of the nation's finest public high schools.
"He had many accomplishments in promoting and improving education in this state, but the Louisiana School for Math, Science and the Arts might have been his hallmark."
His brother is Sen. Gerald Long, R-Natchitoches, the last link the Long family political dynasty of Huey and Earl.
"He had an uncanny ability to bring people together, to bring the best out of people," his brother Gerald said at Jimmy Long's funeral.
