Brad Anderson's new film, Beirut has been receiving mixed reviews. Some critics are calling it not accurate. That said, it remains one of the more intelligent and adult films released so far this year which means it will lose money and die a quick death at the box office. With no Marvel superheroes or bottom-feeder level comedy, the film has little to attract the majority of today's audience. Continue reading

Elvis The Searcher (2018)
The new HBO documentary, Elvis The Searcher, sets itself apart from so many other takes we have seen on the man. True, it is was authorized by the Presley estate, Priscilla Presley is one of the producers, and they do tread lightly on his "legal" drug use, and there is no mention of other women. That all said, the film takes a mostly honest look, a discourse, at Presley's life and his place in the history of popular culture. Since his sad final years, his death and his afterlife, Elvis has become something of a laughing stock, known more for being a fat, pathetic, over the hill, jumpsuit wearing laughing point than the pop culture subversive artist he was. The documentary attempts to correct this by putting Elvis, his talent, his revolutionary influence back in its proper perspective. It's also, intentionally or not, a look at the sad failure of the American Dream. Continue reading
Favorite Comedies: The 30's
The 1930's brought sound movies to the forefront. Along with it came the fast talking world of screwball comedies, the best of the Marx Brothers and much more. It was hard to limit this list to just ten. But that is the name of the game. The great film critic Andrew Sarris once described "screwball comedy as a sex comedy without the sex."
This is the Part 3 in a monthly series.
Farewell, My Lovely (1975)
Robert Mitchum may have been a little long in the tooth to play Philip Marlowe, and the film itself is no hipster revisionist tale like Robert Altman did with The Long Goodbye just a few years earlier. Farewell, My Lovely is a straight throwback to the classic days of Bogart, Powell, and Montgomery. Mitchum, of course, starred in many classic noirs: Out of the Past, Angel Face, The Racket and Where Danger Lives are just a few. This was Mitchum's first time portraying the P.I. In 1978, Mitchum would again play Marlowe in the Michael Winner remake of The Big Sleep. That film was a bit of a misfire. While not as bad as its reputation, let's just say Bogart and Howard Hawks have nothing to worry about. Continue reading
It Happened in Flatbush
With the beginning of the baseball season last week, I found myself watching a baseball film. Not sure why, these days I have little interest in baseball, and in sports in general. Growing up, I was a rabid Yankees fan. Mickey Mantle was my idol, as he was for many other kids. I watched football (Giants) and basketball (the Walt Frazier, Willis Reed, Dave Debusschere Knicks). However, somewhere along the way I lost interest in sports; found too many other things I rather spend my time doing. Continue reading

Time to unplug and tune in. Give yourself the Gift of Meditation. It is healing, liberating, energizing, and a powerful way to transform your daily life.
Why Meditate?
I started discovering the art of meditation in my younger, 'hippy' days and I must admit that I was on quite a journey to better 'find myself'. I was a self-proclaimed 'seeker of truth' and was constantly 'shopping' for enlightenment. It was great at the time. I learned to meditate with crystals, with full moons, with mantras, with healers in groups and alone. I followed yogis and gurus and even had a spiritual guide who reminded me of Yoda. She was wonderful and yet she left me…she actually had a heart attack during a full moon meditation at a volcano in Hawaii. Yes, this sounds crazy but true. The truth is that in all my spiritual wanderings, life happened and reality set in. I married and had three children and became the busy mom, homemaker and entrepreneur, struggling to find creative ways to earn money at home and be there for my family at the same time. Was there room for meditation in all of this? Not really. So I lost touch with the art of meditating and stayed stuck in the art of over doing. If any of this sounds familiar to any of you, please feel free to chime in so I don't feel like a complete crazy!!
Anyway, as I have come full circle and reconnected with the path towards finding a little "piece of peace" in my day, my dear friend 'Meditation' has revisited my life, (perhaps in a less 'cosmic' version) and I must say that it is helping me find 'me' again and that's a beautiful thing.
So, why meditate? There are a lot of reasons that everyone hears: It's relaxing. It reduces Stress. It helps with anxiety, depression, anger, frustration. It is healing and balancing and enhances your loving relationships. This is all true, but there is more to it than that. If you can learn to control your thoughts, you can control the experience and emotions of life. The best antidote to negativity is learning the art of meditation. Meditation is more than just relaxation; it is a change in consciousness. We move from the limited perspective of our mind and discover an inner source of happiness and I know that we can all use a bit more happiness from within. I believe that will lead us to even more happiness from external sources. I believe that when we look inward to learn, grow and flourish we heal from the inside out.
So, what is Meditation and how do I do it?
Deepak Chopra says that although most people think the purpose of meditation is to get away from it all, the truth is that it is quite the opposite. He teaches that meditation is a way to get more in touch, more in tune with it all, defining it as a "way to get into the space between your thoughts" and to "find that peace within, the peace that spiritual traditions talk about that passes all understanding." His 21 Day Meditation has been a part of my daily ritual and it is a wonderful way to start the process of meditation for anyone who wants to begin. The following is Deepak's description of meditation and a simple way of going about it:
According to wisdom traditions, this space between the thought is the window, is the corridor, is the vortex to the infinite mind – the mystery that some people call the spirit or God. We don't have to use those terms, but it's your core consciousness. And the more we learn about this space between thoughts, we find certain things to be true of it:
- It's a field of infinite possibilities – infinite possibilities, pure potentiality.
- Everything is connected to everything else.
- It's a space of infinite creativity, infinite imagination.
- It is a place where there is something called observer effect, or the power of intention, which means intention is very powerful when brought to this space and it orchestrates its own fulfillment – what people call the law of attraction – so those are wonderful qualities of your own spirit.
- In meditation, we get into this space so we find ourselves infinite possibilities, infinite correlation, infinite creativity, infinite imagination, and infinite power of intention. That's what meditation is really about.
- Where to Meditate
- You can plug in, close your eyes, and go within in any safe place you choose where you will not be disturbed.
- When to Meditate
- Morning and evening coincide with our body's quieter rhythms. Our body knows how to be still; we just have to give it opportunity. Studies show that routines begun in the morning last the longest, but any time you look forward to meditating is the right time.
- Body Position
- Being comfortable is most important. It is preferable to sit up straight on the floor or on a chair to help cultivate alertness, but if you are ill or need to lie down, that is fine. The mind has been conditioned to sleep when the body is lying down so you may feel sleepier. Your hands can relax on your lap, palms up or any way that you feel most open.
- Thoughts
- Thoughts will inevitably drift in and dance around your mind, but that's normal. Don't try to do anything with them – let them be. If you find yourself thinking about what's passing through your mind, just return to focusing your awareness on the mantra or your breath – you will soon slip into the space between thoughts.
- Breath
- When we pay attention to our breath, we are in the present moment. In an unforced, natural rhythm, allow your breath to flow in and out, easily and effortlessly.
- Meditation Length
- The effects of meditation are cumulative, and setting aside as little as 15 minutes a day to retreat and rejuvenate is beneficial. Many schools of meditation prescribe 30 minutes of meditation twice a day, and as your meditation practice evolves, you can extend your time. It's better to spend just a few minutes meditating every day rather than meditating for an hour a week.
- The Five Things That Can Happen During Meditation
During meditation, five things can happen:
- We can experience thoughts.
- We can mentally repeat the mantra.
- We can have thoughts and repeat the mantra at the same time. If this happens to you, place greater attention on the mantra.
- Our thoughts and the mantra can cancel each other out, and we can slip into that place of stillness between our thoughts, the "gap."
- We can fall asleep. If you fall asleep, when you awaken and if time permits, allow yourself about five or ten minutes to complete your meditation.
How does Meditation help our health and our daily lives?
Recent groundbreaking studies concluded that meditating positively impacts gene expression in the body, promotes longevity, protects against stroke and heart disease and drastically reduces visits to the doctor. Researchers at Harvard found that meditating for just eight weeks dramatically alters gene expression, "turning off" hundreds of genes conducive to the onset of disease while "turning on" hundreds of genes conducive to health. Long-term meditators evinced even more powerful gene changes. "Any condition that's caused or worsened by stress can be alleviated through meditation", says cardiologist Herbert Benson, MD, well known for three decades of research into the health effects of meditation. He is the founder of the Mind/Body Institute at Harvard Medical School's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
Meditation is now becoming the new buzz word in the corporate world as companies are looking to Health and Wellness programs to combat unhealthy, stressed out employees and increase motivation, productivity and decrease absenteeism due to health issues and burn out. A recent article in the LA Times Business section says that "companies are embracing meditation to train better leaders" Using meditation to "tap into the power of mindfulness", companies like Google are training their employees to "calm their minds on demand and build inner joy while succeeding at work".
Most meditation practices include breathing techniques. Breathing is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself…yes BREATHING! We know that we all breathe, but often, we hold back. When we are stressed or anxious we unconsciously stop our breathing for a bit. Being mindful of that is the first step to letting go of tension and stress on a daily basis.

Turkey hopes to hold two meetings with Gazprom before the New Year to discuss the size of the discount on the natural gas that Russia intends to deliver to Turkey, Turkish Energy Minister Taner Yildiz said.
"We held the first conference today on the price [with Gazprom] and before New Year we will meet with Gazprom once or twice to discuss prices," he said to journalists on Wednesday.
He reminded them that Russia had promised a 6% discount on gas but Turkey wanted the discount to be increased.
He voiced hope that Moscow and Ankara would reach agreement on the issue.
Asked about the possibility of Turkey taking part in the construction of a new pipeline for the delivery of Russian natural gas the minister said: "As far as my knowledge about the sea part of the project goes, the Gazprom partners for South Stream are known. Still we can discuss partnership on the ground - in Thrace."
However, TANAP gas pipeline remains a priority project for Turkey, he said.

Ph.D. in International Relations & Expert on International Issues
During about past four decades, incorrect, biased and unfair performance of international organizations (IOs), which was at odds with Iran's national interests, has been a major obstacle on the way of the normalization of Iran's ties with international community. Even following the achievement of the Iran deal on July 14, 2015, and adoption of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231 on July 20, 2015, incorrect mechanisms of international organizations are still a major threat to accurate, legal and fair implementation of the Iran deal.
The important factor here is possible unconstructive actions of international organizations and institutions, which would be at odds with Iran's interests, especially in view of the past record of these international actors during the last 70 years, which according to realistic interpretation of John Mearsheimer, has been based on false promises. This is why the feeling of insecurity has been one of the most important security concerns of Iran throughout about four past decades, and actions taken by IOs have been ineffective in dispelling those concerns.
Importance of this effective variable in relations between Iran and the P5+1 group of countries needs more attention in view of false promises of international organizations and institutions, which aimed to sacrifice Iran's interests within IOs during the past century. Also, the role of these organizations and institutions in verification of the obligations of Iran and the P5+1 in accordance with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) is another point of significance. The question is "actions taken by which one of these actors can affect the implementation of the Iran deal and what can we expect these IOs to do in order to facilitate historical mission of the Iran deal?"
Important IOs like the United Nations, especially the Security Council, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the European Union play a key role in the implementation of the Iran deal. The role played by the Security Council in the past few decades has been especially important due to its biased and unfair approach toward Iran as a result of the intervention of third countries in its decision-making process.
Therefore, the positive approach taken by the Security Council in adoption and formalization of the Iran deal through adoption of Resolution 2231 has been a unique and historical example in the history of the Council. Negative performance of the Security Council with regard to such crises as the Iran-Iraq war (1980—1988), the invasion of Iraq (2003), Iran's nuclear case (2003-2015), NATO's Operation Unified Protector in Libya (2011), the coalition wars in Syria and Iraq and Yemen (from 2013 to the middle of 2015), the crisis in Ukraine (since 2014), and the fight against ISIS and rising extremism in the Middle East, has been characterized with frequent cases of false promises. It seems that playing a constructive role in Iran's nuclear case by the Security Council after the Iran deal was achieved on July 14, 2015, the Council is actually taking steps to mend its past ways.
The IAEA is another international institution that plays a role in the implementation of the Iran deal. The IAEA plays an especially important role in unbiased trust building and institution building for the implementation of the Iran deal in important technical fields. Major expectations that international community has from the IAEA is to play its role in facilitating the implementation of the Iran deal by doing its specialized job; to avoid presenting nontechnical reports, which do not conform to realities; and to avoid being influenced by big states.
The European Union (EU) is another major IO in this regard. Important and historical steps that EU can take with regard to the Iran deal include taking effective actions for management of the Iran deal, especially by supporting forthcoming negotiations and building trust through those talks, as well as making efforts to desecuritize the Iran issue in international interactions through confidence building, providing suitable grounds, making good use of diplomacy, and boosting trade and economic interactions with Iran.
The role that the (Persian) Gulf Cooperation Council [(P)GCC] can play in supporting the Iran deal would be a major test to show that the (P)GCC, as an important Arab regional organization, is revising its Iranophobic principles. Show of serious support combined with goodwill for the Vienna deal between Iran and the P5+1 by the (P)GCC will provide it with a strategic opportunity to redefine its position in international and regional interactions.
In addition, other IOs such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the Arab League (AL), the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) can take effective steps to support the Iran deal and in doing so, can do away with some limitations facing the Iran deal and boost the importance of such mechanisms in bolstering international peace and security.
The Iran deal is a remarkable opportunity to prove effectiveness of IOs in managing future developments at international and regional levels. For many years, international trust in these human assets (IOs) and their stabilizing role has been damaged due to false promises that they have made and their failure in fair management of international developments. If their performance goes back to the main track set for them upon their establishment for protection and promotion of international and regional peace, then the Iran deal would direct their activities and goal in the right direction. This would be a major stride toward peaceful coexistence among all international actors and, as put by Stephen Walt, could do away with "the mother of all worst-case assumptions about Iran."
All international evidence and experiences indicate that even in the globalized world of today, international system will remain state-centric. However, positive role of IOs for the implementation of the Iran deal will give birth to a new generation of activities, performances, and dynamism by international organizations in complementarity with the special function of states as the most important actors which can establish or undermine stability at international and regional levels.

Case Study: Timely Vaccination
Vaccine schedules are designed to be given at certain ages and specific time intervals. Vaccination records and reminders play an important role in ensuring vaccines are delivered in a timely manner.
Below are examples of systems and policies that are used to maintain records, generate reminders and ensure vaccination:
Immunisation reminders
Notifications sent to parents when their children are due for immunisation are used in many parts of the world. With the wide-spread use of mobile technology messages sent by text message or email are more efficient than paper based reminders. Mobile phone based applications have been developed to help individuals maintain their own vaccine records and generate reminders when vaccines are due.
The following videos are examples of mobile phone based technologies used in Canada and India.
This is an additional video, hosted on YouTube.
This is an additional video, hosted on YouTube.
Immunisation Information Systems
Computerised immunisation information systems can be used to record individual immunisation information. These systems can be used to track individual vaccination pathways in order to generate reminders and to identify individuals who have not been vaccinated.
In England (UK) the Child Health Information Services (CHIS) are an NHS commissioned service which maintains clinical care records for all children in the country up to the age of 19 (or 25 if they have educational needs) and contains information on all public health interventions including immunisation. The information contained in CHIS can also be used to establish vaccination uptake and coverage at a population level.
Mandatory vaccination
In some countries childhood vaccinations are mandatory. For example in France, vaccination against diphtheria and polio has been mandatory for decades. In 2018 the mandate was extended to include vaccination against 10 different infections for children up to 2 years of age.
In the United States some states mandate vaccination to attend public schools.
In Australia, state welfare payments such as child care subsidy and family tax benefit are linked to immunisation records.

Though you may not have considered this before, there are many types of architects. While most people think first of the type of architects that design homes and other buildings, there are many areas in which architects can choose to specialize. Among these specialties include residential, commercial, industrial, urban, landscape, interior architectural design, and more.
Residential Architects on the Main Line
At Cottage Industries, we work with highly accomplished architects, but to us, it is less about having a long and storied resume than it is about the person themselves. We tend to choose architects based on their creative abilities and the unique experience they bring to the table.
Design/Build Is A Team Sport
As a design-build firm, we need to ensure the entire team is on the same page and focused on a singular goal: delivering on the client's needs and budget while supporting other aspects of the work within the shared vision.
To this end, we have developed relationships with residential architects that are passionate about working with us to create designs that suit the customer's needs and budget perfectly – more so than they are in simply seeing their designs constructed. Ultimately, we feel that this is the best way to serve the customer and it is something we would never compromise on.
In our world, architect, engineer, and other designers work side-by-side with the same goal in mind. When it comes time to execute the plan, architecture and construction are joined indelibly. This leads to a superior end result, one that not only our team can be very proud of, but one that brings our clients incredible delight for many years to come.
It's All About The Work
We take the focus off the individual and put it back into the project itself. This way, it is less about one person's ego and more about the collective product that we are all focused on.
To give you an illustrative example, let's look at a kitchen remodel.
In this example, one of our founders speaks to the client about their needs. They then work with the architect to create a basic layout for the kitchen, considering the flow with the rest of the home. This includes the integration of both interior and exterior spaces and their overall aesthetic.
Are you thinking about a remodel, a restoration, or a renovation for your Main Line home? Schedule a conversation today.

Ban Plastic Bags
Ban Plastic Bags
0 have signed. Let's get to 15,000!
LOVE the Earth, HATE the plastic!
There are many different ways in which we humans help reuse and reduce waste, not just as corporations and businesses, but also as individuals, families and schools. When a person makes an everyday purchases in a grocery store or retail store, they often walk out of the store with one or multiple plastic bags in their hands. Whether you leave the store with a plastic bag, and what you do with it later, is what makes the difference in the world and the usage we give that bag. Some ways that we can help ban or reduce the waste of plastic bags would be by:
- Decline the bag. Hand-carry the items out of the store if you can!
- Bring your reusable bags instead. The most challenging of this is remembering to take them into the store, and creating the habit.
- Spread the word: By refusing to accept plastic bags from cashiers and store owners.t only takes a second to refuse a plastic bag, and to politely remind the cashier that plastic bags are bad for the environment.
Many of us do not know that over 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are used every year, worldwide! A single plastic bag can take 20 to 1,000 years to degrade which can not only harm us but can harm animals too especially the aquatic animals. Plastic bags remain toxic even after they break down which is extremely sad. If we ban plastic bags the plastic bags are made from non-renewable sources and on this account, highly contribute to climate change. Plastic bags do not only pollute our water but also our land. Plastic bags are usually lightweight and as such, they can travel very long distances by either water or wind. Wind blows these plastic bags and trashes a whole area. These litters gets caught up in between trees, fences and floats in water bodies thus moving to the world's oceans.
As we all know with great power comes great responsibility but what some people fail to realize is how important it is to conserve our environment and took keep a good healthy surrounding. Those who oppose for banding plastic bags would say that bans often lead plastic bag manufacturers to scale back business and may lead to layoffs. Plastic bag bans will require shoppers having to purchase reusable bags, which can range from $1 and up and people might find it really expensive. Those who oppose plastic bag bans are more often, not employed by plastic bag manufacturers or lobbyist for the industry. Plastic bag manufacturers want to stay in business and their efforts that would force them to change their business model to one that fits with a more sustainable ideology or go out of business which nobody as a business owner would want. Other people would point out that banning plastic bags probably means cutting down more trees, which could be true but not in most cases.

Our Programs
Amy's Kisses' programs are conducted at various locations throughout the region, including schools, youth organizations and domestic violence agencies. Ultimately, plans call for a central location and offices where many of these programs can occur. Our programs currently include:
Prevention Education Program
Our Prevention Education Program works with community partners to fulfill our mission of someday ending domestic violence. We currently provide free basic educational resources on domestic and dating violence and healthy relationships with all of our partners. Our school-based programming covers topics such as teen dating violence, warning signs of abuse, healthy relationships, media influence, gender roles, sexual assault, and consent – all meeting the standards and benchmarks for sexual health education set by the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
Few schools have the resources to train educators to teach a healthy relationship curriculum. Currently, we fund the development of resources that educators can use in the
classroom. Ultimately, we plan to train volunteer facilitators to conduct classroom -based education directly. Our programming is designed currently to help more 8 different schools annually achieve goals similar to those developed by the Oregon Healthy Teen Relationships Act (HTRA), which requires all schools in that state to adopt policies and programs addressing teen dating violence.
We are also currently looking to support the implementation of Coaching Boys into Men in local high schools and community organizations. This national Futures Without Violence program provides athletic coaches with the resources they need to promote respectful behavior among male athletes and help prevent relationship abuse, harassment, and sexual assault.
Additionally, we have formed a partnership with Laurel House in Norristown, PA. Laurel House is a comprehensive domestic violence agency serving individuals, families and communities throughout Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Laurel House is dedicated to the vision of ending domestic violence in each life, home and community. Our partnership includes Laurel House providing the training of Amy's Kisses facilitators to teach domestic violence prevention classes, as well as Amy's Kisses providing possible funding of the Laurel House Library, which is used as a key resource for all those seeking help from the organization.
We work to ensure that all presentations and materials that we support are inclusive of all genders and sexual orientations and to address the needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, two- spirited, queer, and questioning youth who are at-risk for or have already experienced dating and sexual violence.
Educational Scholarships Program
We have partnered with Philadelphia Futures to help provide Philadelphia's low-income, first-generation-to-college students with the tools, resources and opportunities necessary for admission to and success in college. We help transform lives by breaking down the barriers that have historically excluded low-income, first-generation-to-college students from achieving college success. The students we serve through Philadelphia Futures are provided with a comprehensive, time-tested array of programs designed to reduce the institutional, academic, social and financial barriers to college success.
As part of the Sponsor-A-Scholar (SAS) program we annually provide six high school students with financial support in the form of $1,500 academic scholarships each.
The Sponsor-A-Scholar Program has served students for over 25 years and has produced extraordinary results: 98% of students have matriculated to college. The projected college graduation rate for recent Sponsor-A-Scholar classes is 71%.

text: I have a BAL leveler that I use for my pop up, and I love it! It makes it so easy to level by myself, and adds stability. Lily is very lightweight, so I don't worry about the BAL being overloaded. I bought a vintage camper, and I wonder if the BAL would work for it. The "new" camper only weighs about 3400 pounds fully loaded, which would put 1700 pounds on the BAL. Do you think this is too much weight for the BAL?

Connecting Chinese and Global Glass Industry
Post Time:Nov 18,2011Classify:Industry NewsView:276
After a sharp dip in September, the American Institute of Architects' (AIA) Architecture Billings Index (ABI) climbed nearly three points in October. The ABI reflects the approximate nine-to-12-month lag time between architecture billings and construction spending. The AIA reported the October ABI score was 49.4, following a score of 46.9 in September. This score reflects an overall decrease in demand for design services (any score above 50 indicates an increase in billings). The new projects inquiry index was 57.3, up from a reading of 54.3 the previous month.
"An increase in the billings index is always an encouraging sign," says Kermit Baker, AIA chief economist. "We're seeing some regions and some construction sectors move into positive territory. But there continues to be a high level of volatility in the marketplace with architecture firms reporting a wide range of conditions from improving to uncertain to poor. It's likely we will see a similar state of affairs in the coming months."
Key October ABI highlights include:
*Regional averages: Northeast (51.7), South (49.1), Midwest (47.7), West (43.5)
*Sector index breakdown: commercial/industrial (53.5), multifamily residential (51.3), institutional (47.3), mixed practice (42.0)
Project inquiries index: 57.3
The regional and sector categories are calculated as a 3-month moving average, whereas the index and inquiries are monthly numbers.

Today, Spoon release their excellent new album Hot Thoughts, an occasion they celebrated with a three-night residency during SXSW 2017 at a venue currently known as the Main. This is the venue that used to be the old Austin establishment Emo's, and for the duration of Spoon's hometown takeover they rechristened the space Eno's in honor of their drummer, Jim Eno. They curated a lineup each night, each one culminating in a surprise opener right before Spoon — New Pornographers on Tuesday, !!! on Wednesday, and Hamilton Leithauser last night.
Supposedly something like half the capacity of the venue was taken up by Spoon's guest list, giving last night the vibe of a large party of friends and family coming out to see the band and celebrate the new album. Spoon came on around 1AM and launched right into new material with the one-two of "Do I Have To Talk You Into It" and "Hot Thoughts." The latter in particular was already stunning live, with the band cloaked in darkness and then backlit in flashing orange lights as the song's simmering intensity boiled over. The synth-driven funk-rock of Hot Thoughts finds the band pushing further into experiments from their last album, 2014's They Want My Soul — songs like "Outlier" and "New York Kiss" were more glistening than what we'd come to expect from the band, especially after the dusty, ramshackle qualities of 2010's Transference. When they played "Inside Out" right after the two new songs, or an emphatic version of Kill The Moonlight classic "Small Stakes" towards the end of the set, Spoon offered up a vision of how their increasingly deep back catalog could fit into their new aesthetic. And when they lined up the gloss of "Do You" into the slinky sleaze of "Can I Sit Next To You" into the sinuous Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga standout "Don't You Evah," it was a convincing depiction of through lines in their career that might've been less evident through the years.
There was a bit more whiplash when "The Underdog" appeared — though in a lot of ways that song is sort of a strange outlier in their songwriting despite it being one of their calling-card tracks — and that emphasized something that's cropped up in a few of the Hot Thoughts reviews so far. For years, we talked about Spoon as a band that was beloved by critics but hard to find a story for, exactly. There isn't much narrative to a group churning out predictably infectious and tightly crafted music every three or four years. Yet there's more diversity in their career than they're given credit for, especially after they found a sort of platonic ideal of their '00s selves on Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga and subsequently wandered down new avenues on the following three records. Hot Thoughts is still more of a left-turn than they've often embarked on, and still one of their weirder records, but overall it was semi-surprising to see how seamlessly this stuff already fit alongside songs we've known for 10 or 20 years.
Then again, any time Spoon surprises you, it's usually accompanied by a reminder like, "Oh, yeah, these guys always know exactly what they're doing, of course this all sounds incredible even before the album's out." It was reminiscent of when they were on the festival circuit during the They Want My Soul album cycle and "Do You" and "Rent I Pay" already came across like classic Spoon songs indistinguishable in legacy or quality from more aged warhorses like "My Mathematical Mind." Maybe it's because I've been listening to Hot Thoughts constantly, but seeing this stuff live for the first time had the feeling of seeing something new, but also something I've known for a long time.?
Because of their ridiculously consistent career and the lack of a narrative or whatever, Spoon are constantly in danger of being taken for granted. But seeing all this stuff live never gets old. Hearing Britt Daniel's weathered bark, the band's insane (and overlooked) penchant for perfect percussive arrangements in their songs, or the way they make every big riff or synth flourish precisely just a bit more muscular onstage — none of that ever gets old. Whatever new or old sounds or predictably strong songwriting comes with a new Spoon record and tour, that's the main takeaway: It's always good to have them back.

October is Women's Small Business Month, making now a perfect time to highlight accomplishments of women entrepreneurs and small business owners across the nation.
About 150 Women's Business Centers across the nation are designed to assist women in starting and growing small businesses. They provide training, mentoring, counseling, and access to capital for one of the fastest growing sectors of the economy: women business owners.
In 2017, centers reached more than 145,000 clients and conducted over 93,000 hours of counseling and more than 15,000 training sessions. In 2015, Women's Business Centers created 23,471 new jobs.
Why are centers focused specifically on women important? Today, women own more than 35 percent of all businesses and are starting new ventures at four times the rate of men. The most recent data indicates there are more than 11 million women-owned businesses employing 9 million Americans and generating $1.6 trillion in receipts.
It takes courage, ambition, and ingenuity to start your own business, and all the women entrepreneurs out there possess these qualities. Women's Business Centers have helped many of these talented entrepreneurs turn their dreams of starting a business into reality.
Small businesses are the engines that drive America's growth, and women are just beginning to leave their footprint in this sector of the economy. With the continued support of Women's Business Centers across the country, their impact will surely grow.
In Nebraska
The Women's Business Center in Nebraska, operated by the Center for Rural Affairs, served 731 clients, providing 2,567 hours of business counseling, between Sept. 1, 2017, and May 31, 2018. Staff hosted 107 training opportunities attended by 1,184 clients, 71 percent of which were women.

Woodlands expected to offer support for Research Forest corridor traffic improvements
As most residents and visitors to The Woodlands know, the traffic along Research Forest Drive and at the intersections of Interstate 45 and Grogan's Mill Road can be a headache marked by congestion, long waits at traffic signals and the corridor has one of the highest rates of motor vehicle accidents in The Woodlands and also Montgomery County.
Those issues are why members of The Woodlands Township board, as well as officials in the nearby city of Shenandoah, are seeking funding help from the Houston-Galveston Area Council to fund several improvement projects along the Research Forest Drive corridor from The Village of Alden Bridge all the way to Interstate-45 and east along Tamina Road.
During a Sept. 20 meeting of the township, a wide-ranging series of plans and projects were presented to the board in hopes that the projects will receive funding from H-GAC. Although the projects are not all within the authority of the township, the board had been asked to approve resolutions of support for the project.
On Sept. 26, the township board declined to take action on the two resolutions of support, as some of the details did not satisfy township board chairman Gordy Bunch. The board is expected to revisit the request for resolutions of support during meetings schedule for Oct. 18 and Oct. 24.
Underpass option
Robert Heineman, vice president of planning for The Woodlands Development Co., gave a presentation to the board during its Sept. 20 meeting, providing a historical background of mobility development in The Woodlands and around Montgomery County, Heineman was joined by engineers from Brown & Gay Engineers, a firm that has been working with officials from Montgomery County and the Woodlands Road Utility District No. 1, as well as those from Bleyl Engineering.
"The purpose of the presentation is to inform you of the need for an underpass at Research Forest and Grogan's Mill and request your support, because this will be submitted by the county to H-GAC for federal funding," Heineman said. "Questions have been raised throughout this project. As you know, this overpass/underpass has been on wheels over the past few years. The consistent question we are asked is why do we need underpasses in The Woodlands?"
Heineman, who has been an instrumental in the history and growth of The Woodlands since the community's inception, said underpasses provide twice the capacity of traffic flow as an at-grade intersection, something that could help reduce congestion and wait times at traffic lights.
"Why do we need (underpasses) here, when all across the Houston area, there are very few on major thoroughfares. The answer is very simple, but goes back 40 years when The Woodlands began development," Heineman added, explaining how the Texas Department of Transportation designates areas as rural or urban, which both have different standards.
Planning for growth
At the beginnings of The Woodlands in the early 1970s, the area was considered rural by TxDOT, which meant that the major thoroughfare plan at the time was based on 2-mile grids like those at Sawdust Road, Tamina Road and others that were spaced at 2-mile intervals. Urban standards, he pointed out, are to have 1-mile grids, which results is more intersections and freeway exits.
"TxDOT and many others thought The Woodlands would never happen, but it did, and it is now urban. If you believe the H-GAC projections, over the next 20 years, the population will go from 500,000 to more than a million," Heineman added. "The Woodlands has become an urban area but it has been developed under rural and completely different sets of standards — you have less roads to carry twice the capacity. We knew that back in the '70s, because we had a program for the build out for The Woodlands and we believed it would become urban."
To cope with those beliefs of the future growth of the area, and the resulting traffic headaches, Heineman said the original designers and developers of The Woodlands veered from the traditional roads plans that were used in Houston and instead chose other designs.
"Number one, we discarded the grid system used in Houston and adopted a hieracrhical system of roads," he explained. "You end up with fewer turning movements, it is safer and you get a lot more efficiency and capacity out of the same road. We knew we needed some grade separations, particularly when you approach Interstate 45 where traffic volumes are higher."
The four intersections that were targeted for the grade separation, Heineman said, are Research Forest Drive at Grogan's Mill Road, Grogan's Mill at Lake Woodlands Drive, Grogan's Mill and The Woodlands Parkway, and The Woodlands Parkway and Gosling Road — which has yet to be constructed.
Reducing congestion
There are several projects in the area that are the planning stages and for which funding is being sought for, including improvements to the intersection of Interstate 45 and Research Forest Drive (west) and Tamina Road (east); the potential underpass at Research Forest Drive and Grogan's Mill Road; and an extension of David Memorial Drive on the eastern side of Interstate 45 that would connect the drive to Texas 242 at Trade Center Boulevard. Two of the three projects are in the jurisdiction of the city of Shenandoah. Officials from the city have asked for support from area entities, including The Woodlands.
Megan Siercks, a traffic manager in the Transportation Department at Brown & Gay Engineers, followed Heineman's presentation with her own break down and descriptions of the projects and how those projects are graded at the H-GAC level. The worst scores are a result of long wait times at traffic signals and high levels of congestion. The intersections are graded at peak traffic flow times in the morning and evenings.
The highest grade an intersection can receive is an 'A,' which means drivers will spend less than 10 seconds at a traffic light waiting to travel through it. The worst score is an 'F,' which indicates highly congested conditions and involves wait times at a traffic ligh of more than 85 seconds.
The double-laned intersection of Research Forest and Lake Woodlands Drive was graded at a 'C' for morning traffic and a 'D' for evening traffic. However, the intersection of Research Forest Drive and Grogan's Mill Road received varying grades ranging from a 'B' to an 'F' depending on which direction a driver is traveling and what turns they may make. The southeast corner of the northbound lanes of Grogan's Mill Road had the worst rating of the four lights at the intersection, with a morning grade of 'D' and an evening grade of 'F.'
"Some intersections are operating very well and some are operating very poorly. The city of Houston tends to operate at a level 'F' during all peak hours," Siercks said. "Here in The Woodlands, Robert (Heineman) has done a great job of setting up the network to be able to accommodate a lot more (traffic flows). So, we see a lot more levels in the 'D' and 'E.' We try to keep everything operating very acceptably."
Siercks reported that according to H-GAC projections, more than 62,000 vehicles a day pass through the Research Forest and Grogan's Mill Road intersection with increases to more than 78,000 vehicles per day by 2022 and more than 117,000 vehicles per day by 2040. At the Lake Woodlands Drive and Grogan's Mill Road intersection, she said the current flow is 52,000 vehicles per day with a projected increase to more than 102,000 vehicles per day by 2022 and more than 125,000 vehicles per day by 2040.
"We have to look past what the (traffic) volumes look like today. We want to start thinking ahead is what is going to be in 2022, and what it is going to be like in 2040," she said. "Often transportation projects are not instantaneous. They take time, they take planning and then they actually take time to construct. If we wait until 2040 or 2022, and not doing anything at all, then we run into different problem of well, 'Now we're still five years out from a solution and we have five more years of living in misery.'"
Traffic projections
Bunch questioned the projections from H-GAC, which Siercks said are a result of expected population growth and what roadways have available capacity. Heineman said he did not believe the 2040 population and traffic projections were accurate because H-GAC officials underestimate the growth rate in Montgomery County as a whole.
According to the township documents on the underpass, the project was described as follows: "The proposed underpass would add four lanes via an underpass while maintaining the existing four lanes at grade and reconfiguring the four signal intersections to two signal intersections in order to create reasonable flow of traffic through the intersections and along the two roads considering projected growth of traffic volume."
The preliminary cost expectation for the underpass project is at $24 million, Siercks reported, and if the project gets H-GAC funding, the $24 million cost would be split with H-GAC providing $17 million in funding while the WRUD No. 1 would fund the remaining $7 million. If the project moves forward, the estimated time of the beginning of construction is 2021.
The Shenandoah area projects at Interstate 45 include multiple improvements to the U-turn lanes from the southbound I-45 Service Road around to the northbound service road, and lengthening of turn lanes for drivers headed onto I-45 southbound and other improvements. No price tag was given for the Interstate 45 project involving Research Forest Drive and Tamina Road, however the David Memorial Drive extension project is initially expected to cost between $7 and $9 million.
The number of vehicles that pass through the intersections was one point of dispute between engineers and township officials, and was one reason why during the Sept. 26 meeting township board members declined to approve the resolutions of support until more accurate info was presented. The deadline to apply for the funding assistance is Oct. 31.
Shenandoah Mayor Ritch Wheeler was present at the Sept. 20 meeting to explain why the projects are a crucial need for the area and told the board members he and other elected officials in the small city adjacent to The Woodlands, "Realize Shenandoah lies in the middle of all this traffic."
"We want to help as much as possible," Wheeler said. "We want to help move that traffic through that area. It's going to help all of us. (The Research Forest-Grogan's Mill interesection) Is a hazard. It is the number one intersection for wrecks in The Woodlands."
Heineman said he believes the projects will be competitive in the H-GAC 2018 "Call for Projects" funding process for projects to be included in the Transportation Improvement Plan for 2019-2022. The scores of the project and issues are good, he explained, which increases the chances of being chosen for funding.
"I think we have a really good chance to get funding, we will know early next year," Heineman said.

|Preparing for the Worst
With the weekend in full swing, one would expect a place of work to be practically abandoned. That is not the case at SHIELD for defending the world from threats does not sleep. But the purposefully redundant components that make up this machine does. In shifts. And other components go through maintenance in the form of training. Sometimes rooms get filled up to where others have to be used for not their intended purpose. This could easily explain why a good number agents just left the raquetball court carrying not Rackets, but instead escrima sticks.
Inside the court, one Mike Hannigan remains, hair pulled back and dressed down in basic workout attire and tennis shoes, at least respecting the dress code implemented to protect the wooden floors. Back to the door, he kneels down next to his backpack. His own set of sticks in hand.
"Interesting use of the court," Steve comments as he wanders into the room once the trainees have left. Not that he doesn't agree. Heck, all kinds of things have happened in the racketball court, and the gym, and various other places.
"With how crowded the gym was, I don't think I'd be able to teach them without a stray stick smacking someone in the back of the head." Mike replies, opening up the bag, "I figure a few more sessions and they can go out and train the users in the other locations." Yay. One less thing for him to do. Putting the ornately carved wooden sticks, which are most definitely NOT SHIELD issued, Mike glances back to Steve, "How're things going for you, Cap?"
"Same as ever," Cap muses, thoughtfully. "Life goes on. So, what's with the mass escrima session?"
Mike chuckles, closing his bag, "Oh I wasn't teaching them escrima. I was teaching them how to power the sticks up." Standing, Mike turns the rest of his body around to face the older man, sliding the bag onto one shoulder, "The ones in the class were either needing a refresher or not here for the last time we had to deal with the DemonInfest."
Steve nods a little bit. "That…is definitely an issue to worry about." He's no expert on magic, though - he tends to hand that over to Wanda, to be honest.
"I will say the number of magic users that appears to have been recruited since then has been impressive." Mike admits, "Or it just seems like they were recruited since last time I was operating with my hands tied behind my back more."
"As long as we have the resources to handle it. You're sure it's back, not something else new?" Because, well, the convergence brought in all sorts of weird stuff.
"All signs are pointing to DemonInfest." Mike replies, giving a shake of the head. "Now, that's not to say the source or the persons responsible for creating them hasn't changed. Just, the way of taking them down without hurting the hosts much hasn't."
Steve nods. "It's worth keeping in mind…that all kinds of things may have changed." And some fascinating people, even perhaps some potential new recruits.
Mike nods, "We're still in the intelligence gathering stage but, I know from the skirmishes I've had with them so far that we can at least make it to where we get the knowledge about how to exorcise the victims out there before we lose any more of our magic users."
Steve nods. "Is Strange helping?" Because, well, Strange has a lot of knowledge and a very good library. He's often the one to go to about knowledge.
"As he can." Mike replies, "But now that he has his title back, he's got his arms tied behind his back the same way I did when it comes to information exchange. Since I'm working more with you guys for this time around, I'm not even sure he can give me all of what he knows." The musician slides the other bookbag strap on. "I can also say from experience that there's a lot of stuff that goes on that he would have to deal with. He did get me introduced to a couple magic users from the other world however."
Steve nods. "That's definitely progress." Steve doesn't pretend to understand magical politics, although he's well aware they exist…and are just as annoying as any other kind.
The musician nods, "So you know, once I'm done with the sessions here I'm going to be traveling a bit. Probably another tour. My contacts have indicated a few areas that may have nests nearby. May need to check the newer cities in the area." Hmm. "Do we still have Marinos's daughter here?"
"Bridget? She's still around, yes." Steve isn't entirely sure what's going to end up happening with her…
"She helped us with locations last time. Maybe she knows of other ones."
"It's worth asking her," Steve says. "I'll make sure it's cleared." He has some authority around here, after all. Not so much official as, well…it's the shield.
With Steve's response, Mike gives a small, tired smile. "Good. Worst that happens is I just put the new cities near the old nest cities on the tour and check that way." The smile fades as the jaw clenches, eyes closing for a moment before opening once more.
"Sometimes, it seems that some bad guys are like cockroaches. You think you have them dealt with then they crawl right back out of the walls." Steve sighs.
Mike nods, "There's not enough hours in the day to deal with them and get a decent night's rest." He frowns, "I still have patrol left to do tonight."
"Get a decent night's rest. You won't be good to anyone if you fall asleep on patrol." Says Steve. Of course, he doesn't need as much sleep as most.
Mike shakes his head, "It's not a waking world one I was referring to." As his head tilts, his form seems to shift to where when he's looking back at Cap, his features seem more like a mirror reflection of what he typically sees. "Kind of makes me wish there were more than two Phantasms until I remember the price."
"Two…" Steve shakes his head. "Magic, and its rules, confuse me." Because magic's rules aren't something that's intuitive to him. Of course, he's not always great with science, either.
"It doesn't get much easier when you're practicing it." Mike consoles, form becoming a bit more purplish black and feathery as he shrinks down to a more raven-esque form, "There are times that I still get baffled until I just accept that it just happened and move along."
"Often the best way to deal with weird things. I think Wanda agrees with you." Steve will stick to bashing people with a shield.
The raven glances up at Steve. "We live with gods and giant rage monsters. Our world merged with another one, and so much more We not only eat weird for breakfast, it's part of our lunch and dinner as well." Acceptance is used a lot.
Steve laughs. "That's definitely true. I sometimes get nostalgic for a major world war." He actually does. It was simple: Kill Nazis.
"I can understand that feeling." The bird agrees, beak pointed upwards, "Except the World War part. Mine would be more nostalgia for recording studio sessions."
"Well, life is what it is…and none of us can go back to the past." Steve stretches. "I need to get going."
"Same as well", the bird replies, lifting up a wing, "See you back at the tower." And with that the bird just pops out of existence.

A soldier in France is in a serious condition after being stabbed by two men who reportedly criticised the country's airstrikes against Islamic State in Syria.
The victim, from the 8th Marine Infantry Parachute Regiment, is being treated in hospital following the attack in the southern town of Saint Julien du Puy, which lies around 70 miles to the east of Toulouse.
He had been alone in uniform on a training march when he was set upon by the pair armed with a knife, on Thursday at 8.40pm local time.
A manhunt to catch the attackers is under way.

JUMP bikes are unlocked and locked using a smartphone app.
To be sure, it's unlikely Uber will ever be able to replicate the scale of public transit, even with its many bus-like services like Express Pool. An exact timeline for the fleet expansion is unknown.
Today, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi announced that the company would soon allow customers to buy public transit tickets and rent a auto in Uber's app, via a series of partnerships.
Schaller says this "unsustainable" ride-sharing pattern is occurring in many major cities including Los Angeles and Boston. On April 9, the company said it had purchased Jump Bikes, a provider of dockless electric bicycles. But this signals the next big step in its evolution into a broader transportation platform. Jump bikes cost $2 per 30-minute ride. Upon completion, users can then lock the bike to any public rack in the designated zone shown on the app's map.
Beyond the Jump integration, Uber also announced Wednesday it will partner with car-sharing app Getaround to offer auto rentals for riders and drivers within the app.
Uber Rent will launch in San Francisco later this month. By using the Getaround app, people skip the lines and paperwork at traditional rental auto counters, and the hassle of buying and maintaining a vehicle. You'll be able to get an Uber. The move comes as part of the ride-hailing company's ongoing efforts to improve its relationship with its drivers, and follows Uber's 180 Days of Change program, which was launched previous year to address improvements sought by drivers.
"Imagine there's a car-sharing network that has cars every half a mile", Khanna said. "If this goes on, you'll simply have gridlock".
Uber is hardly the first tech behemoth to lay out its vision for the future of transportation. He reiterated the company's commitment to autonomous vehicles, saying he believed "very important part of the solution of getting rid of auto ownership".
Uber: It's not just for cars anymore.
Capping off a blitz of new features, Uber also announced a partnership with Masabi, a British firm which offers mobile ticketing services for public transport companies.
"We're excited to begin our next chapter and to play a significant part in the transition of Uber to a multi-modal platform", he said in a statement.
The data is being folded into separate similar information that includes taxicabs and other ride hailing companies.
The new Uber driver app will be available for driver partners in Kochi and courier partners in Chennai in India before being rolled out to other cities in a phased manner.
