That Girl's Favorite Views of 2018
Since the new year is upon us, it was suggested to me that I give a list of my favorite movies from the last reviewing year. At first I was worried that it would be all super hero movies, then I started to think some more, and realized that wasn't true. I mean, I probably could make a list of entirely super hero movies. I certainly watched enough of them to do so, but that wouldn't be much fun.
10) Baywatch
A farcical take on the corny 90s TV franchise, in which head lifeguard Mitch Buchanan attempts to stop a drug smuggler with his co-workers, knows how ridiculous it is and runs off with it. With nearly every actor engaging in over-the-top scenery chewing, it's easy to tell that everyone had a blast making this movie. It's a solid B-grade, so-bad-it's-good way to spend a couple of hours.
9) Game Night
This movie about a staged kidnapping for a game night between friends that turns into an actual kidnapping is a real, and funny, take on a 'What If' scenario that manages to balance out the humor of the plot with the sometimes grave circumstances the characters get into. The storyline is solid and enjoyable, and the laughs are plentiful.
8) Thor: Ragnarock
The most recent, and possibly final, movie in Thor's MCU franchise sees the God of Thunder losing his father, his hammer, and his home when his previously unmentioned sister, Hela, escapes from the prison she had been kept in for millennia. Despite the dour plotline, this is easily the best, and funniest, movie featuring Thor. It's nice to see the actors be able to loosen up a bit, and makes for palate cleanser to watch before Infinity Wars.
7) Ocean's 8
In this gender-flipped sequel to popular Ocean's Twelve reboot franchise we find Debbie, the sister of recently deceased Danny Ocean planning to steal an expensive, one of a kind necklace off a starlet at the annual Met Gala. While the actual plot may run a little thin, it's still an entertaining take that breathes a little bit of new life into the franchise.
6) Deadpool 2
The sequel to the 2016 movie finds Wade Wilson adrift after the tragic death of his fiancé, Vanessa, briefly teaming up with the X-Men, and eventually forming the group X-Force in order to save a young mutant destined to become super villain. Just as funny as the original, but with a more cohesive story, this sequel is a great follow-up and adds a few more characters to the mix that should be fun to explore in future installments.
5) Coco
This beautifully animated tale of a young boy who wants to follow his passion for music so badly he risks going to the spirit world to gain approval from the man he believes to be his long-lost great grandfather is heartfelt and touching. One of Disney/Pixar's best movies to day, and also the first to center on Mexican heritage, this movie manages to both educate and entertaining viewers of all backgrounds.
4) Girls Trip
Four college friends decide to have a no-holds-barred, ladies-only trip to New Orleans during the Essence Festival, where one of the women is scheduled to speak, in an attempt to rekindle their strained friendship. This was a fun, funny movie with a storyline that's nearly universally interesting (if you like slightly-raunchy comedies).
3) Black Panther
Newly crowned King of Wakanda, T'Challa attempts to locate and bring to justice Ulysses Klaue, who killed several Wakandans and robbed the country of some of its main resource, Vibranium, and in the process runs across Erik Stevens, a long-lost cousin who's come home to claim the throne for himself. This movie is part of the new standard for super hero movies. It's a great storyline, and has fantastic actors. It's also the first major super hero movie to feature an all-black main cast.
2) Avengers: Infinity War
In an attempt to bring balance to the universe, Thanos attempts to collect all of the Infinity Stones, which will make him the most powerful being in the universe, but his plans are complicated when some of the galaxy's greatest heroes attempt to thwart him. This movie, which marks the beginning of the end for the current era of the MCU, is a nonstop ride filled with adventure, heart, and nearly every hero we'd been introduced to up to that point.
1) Annihilation
A team of five women, a mix of scientists and military personnel, enter into a pocket alien world sitting on the United States' east coast, and soon find that the further they travel into the area, the more dangerous and unusual things become. This taught, sci-fi thriller may not have the humor or adventure of some of the others on this list, but the almost relentless storytelling and superb acting by the cast make this an unforgettable film that's worth the time and effort to see.

Renter Rights in Focus
Alliance reaches out to explain new rules, regulations
Danny Peterson | 9/11/2019, 5:53 a.m.
Tenant and landlord laws have undergone some dramatic changes both in Portland and statewide. To help navigate the recent changes, the Portland Observer sat down with Katrina Holland, executive director of Community Alliance of Tenants, a membership-driven organization focusing on tenant rights, housing education and advocacy.
Most of the new laws and regulations lean toward more protections for renters, both in the city and statewide, a "positive direction," according to Holland. One of the biggest changes in state law came with the passage of Senate Bill 608. The housing legislation put limits on rent increases and the use of no cause eviction notices.
"A tenant whose occupancy has been at least a year or longer will be protected from no cause terminations in the sense that a landlord will no longer be able to just say all right you're done…that won't exist anymore. Now they actually have to provide a reason," Holland said.
Valid reasons for eviction can now include a tenant violating a lease agreement, but for which a landlord is compelled to provide notice to the tenant each time that occurs, Holland added.
There are also new landlord-based causes for termination of a lease, which include the landlord intending to demolish or remove the unit from the market, plans for the landlord to move into it, or if a family member of the landlord is moving in. There could also be cause for termination of the lease if the property is determined to be uninhabitable, or a person who purchased the property from the landlord decides to move in.
A statewide rent increase limit for units was also put in place by the statewide measure. That amounts to no more than 7 percent plus the consumer price index, which this year is calculated by Oregon Department of Administrative Services to be 10.3 percent and is adjusted annually. Rental units that have received a certificate of occupancy within the last 15 years are exempt from the rent increase limitation.
Holland said her group and other renter advocates were hoping to see rent increases capped much lower.
"I don't know that I can afford a 10.3 percent increase every year. So hopefully we can come back to discuss that number in the future," Holland told the Portland Observer.
She added that the cap her organization sought for was closer to 5 percent and even considered that any increase in rent should be tied to federal cost of living adjustments, like for folks living on a fixed income when they get adjustments to Social Security or to a disability.
Holland also decried the provision that tenants, within their first year of occupying a rental, can still be subject to no cause evictions under statewide law, adding that the first year of tenancy for many Oregonians is when often when people are at their most vulnerable.
"You've paid thousands of dollars to move into this new unit and then within the first 12 months you could potentially lose that unit for no reason…that was a really hard pill to swallow," she said.

The iF Design Award 2019 goes to the collaborative gripper
This year's iF Design Award jury decided to reward the simple, sustainable design of Schunk's Co-act EGP-C collaborative gripper. The Co-act EGP-C is the first industrial gripper certified by the DGUV, the German Insurance for Work Accidents, for human-robot collaboration. The certificate simplifies compliance with safety requirements for collaborative applications and reduces the time required to certify the entire system. The compact 2-finger parallel gripper with collision protection covers a wide range of applications: from small assembly of components in the electronics and consumer goods sector to assembly applications in the automotive industry. The Co-act EGP-C also meets the requirements of the ISO/TS 15066 standard and is designed so as not to cause personal injury.

St. Mary's College put the spotlight on entrepreneurial opportunities for our female students at a special event recently.
We welcomed Stephanie Wright, a Director of Sefton & Liverpool Women in Business, as the guest speaker at its latest lunchtime careers lecture for Sixth Formers.
She is one of the prime movers in the association, a growing network of women who run their own companies and want to inspire and encourage other women and girls to do the same.
Stephanie is the owner of business consultancy Wright Support which provides small and medium-sized Merseyside businesses with support in areas including marketing, research and administration.
She is also a director of another company which promotes basketball and helps to set up new community basketball clubs in the area.
During her well-received talk Stephanie spoke about the work of the Women in Business association, and also looked back on her own journey to self-employment.
She stressed that everyone has their own unique set of skills, abilities, aspirations and passions in life, and that with the right advice and support, these can often be turned into a profitable business idea.
Students then had the chance to quiz Stephanie about her thoughts on the other benefits - and potential pitfalls - of choosing entrepreneurship as their career path.
St. Mary's Head of Careers, Cath Howard, commented: "We're very grateful to Stephanie for taking time out to talk to our Sixth Form girls, and for offering them a rather different perspective on what they might do in the future.
"Her talk certainly raised awareness that using their skills to start a small business could be a challenging, exciting and ultimately very rewarding alternative to opting for conventional paid employment."

I'm thankful for....(day 4)
Today I am thankful for many things, but the one thing I will mention here is being thankful for all of you guys who stop by this blog, read it, and comment (you know I love comments!). I made my blog more public this month and although it kind of makes me feel weird (embarrassed?) overall I think it's cool to have people take the time to read. God knows people don't get enough of my blathering in real life... : )
Happy Thanksgiving once again - and please feel free to share what you are most thankful for today in comments!

the only thing you should be embarrassed about is that you let some weird creep comment on all your blog posts. seriously, what is that guy's problem?
it's as if he was so attention starved that he is trying to steal some of your glory.
it's as if he wasn't brave enough to start his own blog and is trying to live vicariously through yours.
it's as if he were obsessed with you and your blog.
you should probably immediately block him from commenting. i suspect the only reason you aren't getting more blog comments is that that douche is scaring people away.
ps: i am thankful that you haven't blocked that douche from commenting when you probably should have, because, for real, some of these blog comments have been ridiculous and board-line sociopathic.

Track of the day #330: Ded Rabbit – Never Gonna Learn
Edinburgh via Yorkshire brothers Ded Rabbit's latest track 'Never Gonna Learn' is dynamic, sharp, snappy and very much catchy. Immediately in your face, the track glows throughout with endless energy never fading even for even just a second. 'Never Gonna Learn' is full of well considered, animate guitar melodies and pleasantly brash vocals. It's short, but this powerful indie-pop track is very much concise, to the point and that's all that matters.

Microsoft is updating its Outlook app with a new design and several new features. According to The Verge, the online version now includes bill payment reminders. Displayed in a summary above the inbox, it automatically identifies invoices in emails and creates reminders for their due dates.
With Outlook.com's bill payment reminders, you'll receive an email reminding you to pay the invoice two days before it's due. Microsoft says these reminder emails are sent automatically, requiring no additional setup and configuration by the user. Outlook.com will also add these due dates to your calendar, allowing you to see exactly which bills are due and when they are due.
Many service providers and business-to-business (B2B) vendors charge hefty fees for late payments. According to one study, small businesses spend $3 trillion per year in late payment fees alone. Outlook.com's bill payment reminders, however, is designed to protect business owners and professionals from these otherwise costly fees.
The Windows version of Outlook has been updated with a new feature that suggests meeting locations. The desktop windows app automatically scans the user's history, including where he or she has conducted meetings in the past, and uses this information to suggest an appropriate meeting location. The app works in conjunction with Bing Search, pulling relevant search listings of prospective meeting locations based on the user's information. Although this feature is currently only available in the Windows version of Outlook, Microsoft says the iOS version will receive it in the near future.
Both the Windows and online versions of Outlook are being updated with RSVP tracking. Using this feature, you can track who's going to attend a scheduled meeting and whether you need to attend.
Furthermore, the Windows and Mac versions of Outlook now allow users to specify multiple time zones when scheduling appointments and meetings in their calendar. Previously, users could only specify a single time zone, which often led to problems when a meeting or appointment started in one time zone and ended in a different time zone.
Microsoft is also planning to roll out some changes to its Outlook app for Android, including tagging, content blocking, Office Lens integration and draft syncing.

2011 Calendar
********Mom, if you are reading, please click away now!***************
I want to share the gift I made for her, for her birthday. I used PTI's large calendar sheets and stamped the flower for each month from the series, Year of Flowers. I didn't have November, December or January's yet, so I left November and December blank and I will send those to her when I complete them, ready to adhere with some Scor-Tape. I didn't want to leave the first page, January, blank, so I used the flowers from In Bloom.
The cover is very plain, as I thought it wouldn't be looked at much. I stamped the large rectangle from Take Note, the year with Fresh Alphabet and the scrolly motif (which I use on each page) is from Spooky Sweets II.
This was a big project, but so worth it! I studies Nichole Heady and Debbie Olson's coloring techniques for each flower, to color them as well as I could!
I am taking this to Staples to get bound tomorrow, and once I get it back, I will share how the finished product looks.
Thanks for coming by today!

I have a co-worker who is an American citizen though she's been in Canada since she was four. She's been given the day off work to travel down to the states and participate in the election. Not just vote, but try to encourage people to get out and vote.

Early in life, Shwaggins was frequently teased for being short in stature. His mother had dwarfism and his father had "gigantism", and she believed the two would produce a child of average height.
Although he didn't appear on screen, in "The Damned", he leaves a cryptic note on Gerald Broflovski's car while he is in the supermarket. The note reads "I know who you are." After Gerald initiates "Protocol Zero", he rushes home to destroy his computer. Forgetting that Ike's computer may also contain information about his misdeeds as Skankhunt42, Gerald frantically looks through it. He then receives a Google Alert saying the following:
meet me under the freemont
9am tomorrow.
The next day, in "Wieners Out", Gerald meets Shwaggins under the bridge, as planned. Shwaggins introduces himself as a fellow troll and tries to get Gerald to listen to some time-sensitive information. Admiring Gerald's work as a troll, Shwaggins explains to Gerald that the Danish are quickly planning to wipe out the trolls, and wants Gerald's help.
After stalking Gerald for several days, Dildo Shwaggins finally meets Gerald in the park and shows him the video of Lennart Bedrager announcing TrollTrace.com, an internet service dedicated to identifying users online. He then escorts Gerald to an undisclosed location, where a meeting of fellow trolls, including Jenkins, is taking place.
In "Douche and a Danish", the meeting takes place, and Shwaggins successfully convinces Gerald Broflovski to join their cause. Preparing for the big troll against Denmark, Shwaggins partners with Broflovski at his home and sets up his computer in Gerald's office. The two, along with all of the other trolls, successfully troll Denmark.
Believing he had a friendship with Gerald, he tries many unsuccessful times to grow their friendship in "Fort Collins". He writes a song for Gerald, and even brings him a present. To no avail, he finally learns that Gerald trolls just to be offensive, and gives up. Having given up, he is unresponsive when Gerald attempts to contact him.
In "Oh, Jeez", he appears briefly along with the other trolls captured by TrollTrace.com. Believing that Hillary Clinton had hired him to infiltrate and sabotage the service, he tours the building in disguise. Lennart Bedrager secretly had a deal with Clinton to capture the trolls, and locks Shwaggins and other trolls in a secure room.
Still captured in "Members Only", he tries to convince Gerald to stop trying to escape through the security door. After Lennart Bedrager announces his plan for the world, Shwaggins declares that President Garrison will not allow him to follow through with his plan.
Dildo Shwaggins is overweight, has a brown beard encompassing his lower face, and brown dreadlocks. He wears black rain boots, jeans, a heavy, green rain coat, black gloves, and black glasses. He also wears a three-wolf-moon t-shirt, and a black Ushanka hat.
He is occasionally seen carrying a coffee drink, an electronic cigarette, and a dark brown bag.
"Dildo Shwaggins" 这个名字影射了"Bilbo Baggins",比尔博·巴金斯,《魔戒》电影系列中的主要角色之一。

In Years 1 and 2, we build upon the skills of independent learning and problem solving, fostered in our Nursery and Reception classes. We encourage the children to embrace a variety of creative challenges, supporting development in collaboration and perseverance. We push the boundaries beyond a mere acquisition of knowledge and develop further the skills of investigation and enquiry.
Learning in Key Stage 1 becomes more formal and structured. We follow the National Curriculum, however, it is enhanced and enriched, providing every pupil the opportunities to reach their potential, to be inspired and enthused. We promote high levels of achievement and effort and celebrate children's successes, as they acquire key skills. Staff invest time in acquainting the children as individuals with unique interests, aptitudes and areas for ongoing development. Learning is therefore carefully planned, ensuring the ever-changing needs of all are continually met.
Alongside class-based teaching, children in Year 1 and 2 benefit from specialist teachers for sport, music and French with the addition of drama and art in Year 2. Plays, concerts and leading assemblies enrich their experience further. Children continue to enjoy educational visits and on-site workshops, relishing the opportunities to contextualise and make connections with their classroom learning. They benefit from a strong and diverse programme of extra-curricular activities in a secure and stimulating environment.
Children leave the Pre-Prep socially, emotionally and academically equipped for the challenges of life in our Prep department.

The last person who saw live "Little Warrior" (42-94812) was the side shooter Clifford Stocking from the nearby bomber Green Hornet. The photo shows the moment of fire of fuel tanks. When the plane crashed, only one of the ten crew members managed to survive, but he was killed after landing by civilians.

LONDON • There has to be a possibility that Roy Hodgson's decision to load five strikers into his Euro 2016 squad might ultimately be held against him if England's tournament turns out to be as harrowing as when Kevin Keegan did the same in a different era.
Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy, Wayne Rooney, Daniel Sturridge and Marcus Rashford will provide the offensive options when England's football squad check into the Auberge du Jeu de Paume in Chantilly, France, next week.
England will certainly have a more potent look than when Hodgson was parachuted into the job to replace Fabio Capello and went into Euro 2012 with Rooney, Andy Carroll, Danny Welbeck and Jermain Defoe as his strikers.
Hodgson's verdict after another unsatisfactory tournament was that England had an obvious shortage of front players.
Four years on, he has picked the most adventurous list, perhaps, since Keegan included Alan Shearer, Michael Owen, Robbie Fowler, Emile Heskey and Kevin Phillips in his squad for Euro 2000, when they were eliminated in the group stage.
But who among the five will Hodgson pick to play in his starting XI?
The balance is good. If anything, it is tilted towards an offensive approach. We believe defending is a team job.
ROY HODGSON, England manager, quelling suggestions his squad are excessively attack-minded.
Kane and Vardy scored as many Premier League goals (49) last season as Manchester United's entire squad. Rooney has managed 20 in the league since the 2014 World Cup. Rashford has talent, momentum and an apparent immunity to nerves.
Sturridge's injury issues might count against him but Hodgson is on record for describing him as the most natural finisher of his strikers.
And it seems to have been largely overlooked that the Liverpool striker has scored eight times at club level since March. Of all England's strikers, only Kane has better figures in the last couple of months.
The downside is England's squad have a slightly lopsided look with Hodgson finding room for only three centre-backs, with Eric Dier primed to move back from midfield in an emergency, and a distinct lack of natural width now Andros Townsend has been dropped.
And it is certainly a calculated gamble that only eight out of his 20 outfield players can be described as defence-minded.
"The balance is good," Hodgson insisted at a press conference yesterday. "If anything, it is tilted towards an offensive approach. We believe defending is a team job."
Last weekend, the England manager was asked whether it was possible to shoehorn Rooney, Kane and Vardy into the same team. "Of course," he replied. Sturridge, one imagines, will not want to be the odd one out.
Rashford has an awful lot going for him, even if he is likely to be fifth in the pecking order, and neither should it be forgotten that Raheem Sterling started the Australia friendly as a striker.
The friendly against Portugal at Wembley today - when the visitors will be without the rested Cristiano Ronaldo - might be a chance for Hodgson to try Rooney, Kane and Vardy in the same side.
The two Premier League top scorers have already shown they can work well together as split strikers whereas Rooney could move back into the No. 10 role. That, however, is the position where Dele Alli has been most effective for England.
Hodgson could also elect to use Rooney as an out-and-out striker next to Kane, which would leave Sterling, Adam Lallana, Alli and Ross Barkley to fight it out for the No. 10 position. There is, in short, no straightforward answer.
Hodgson has tested both a 4-4-2 formation with a midfield diamond and a 4-3-3 system, with the 4-4-2 expected to hold sway for England's opening Euro 2016 game against Russia on June 11.
Yesterday, he said he will not experiment against Portugal.
"I don't need to try anything out any more," he said.
"I am not prepared to say the side that starts tomorrow will start versus Russia."
All that can really be said for certain is that Hodgson has never had a more attractive set of options.

Referendum outcome
Letter by Professor AC Grayling to all 650 MPs urging Parliament to debate the EU referendum outcome.
I write to ask if you could very kindly advise me as to why it is that Parliament is not being given the chance to debate and vote upon the outcome of the referendum held on 23 June 2016 on the UK's membership of the European Union, with a view to deciding whether or not to take the 'advice' of the advisory referendum. A decision to not take that advice would keep the UK in the EU and end the turmoil into which the country and its economy have been plunged; a decision to follow that advice would then, and only then, mandate the Government to begin considering how it will take the UK out of the EU and to find a new place as a solo entity in our complex world.
Some Members of Parliament respond to approaches such as this by saying that they only reply to communications sent by constituents. Because all MPs debate and vote on matters that affect the whole country, and as the matter about which I now write to you concerns the most important such matter facing our country at present, I hope you will feel able to reply. If not, I will arrange for one of your constituents to write with this request, in order to observe the restriction in question.
Here is the reason for respectfully requesting your advice and comment.
Some Ministers and other MPs have been reported as saying that they regard the outcome of the 23 June referendum as 'overwhelming' and 'clear' in mandating the Government to proceed with taking the UK out of the EU. The Government appears determined to act as if they had been given a clear and binding mandate, without any consultation of Parliament as to whether the referendum outcome should be followed by a process to take the UK out of the EU.
As a citizen of the UK I take it that Parliament is sovereign. The administration has asserted that it will not consult Parliament on this matter. This appears unacceptable. Its justification for doing so lies in the iterated claims about the outcome of the referendum being 'overwhelming' and 'clear' and conferring a mandate. Yet it is obvious to the least scrutiny that the referendum outcome is neither overwhelming nor clear, and certainly not a mandate.
The reasons are several.
(1) MPs were advised before debate on the 2015 Referendum Bill that the projected referendum was to be advisory only. Briefing Paper 07212 issued by the House of Commons Library to all MPs on 3 June 2015 explicitly states as follows: 'This Bill requires a referendum to be held on the question of the UK's continued membership of the European Union (EU) before the end of 2017. It does not contain any requirement for the UK Government to implement the results of the referendum, nor set a time limit by which a vote to leave the EU should be implemented. Instead, this is a type of referendum known as pre-legislative or consultative, which enables the electorate to voice an opinion (etc).'
This is a key matter. If the 2015 Bill had been expressly offered as binding Parliament and Government to the referendum outcome, there would have been discussion of the need for a minimum threshold vote. Briefing Paper 07212 expressly alerts MPs and members of the House of Lords to that fact that 'major constitutional change is something more important than the result of ordinary elections, and therefore should be the outcome of something more than a simple plurality of the votes.' (§6, p 26). No threshold was specified in the Bill, because the intention was that the referendum was advisory only.
To treat the outcome of the vote as if it were nevertheless binding, which is what the Government and some MPs are doing, is therefore directly at odds with what Parliament was told about the Bill, and it sits in direct contradiction to the principle underlying the Fixed Term Parliaments Act of 2011, which requires that a 66% majority of the House of Commons is required to trigger a General Election if one is to be held before completion of its fixed term. This principle is that because a General Election can introduce a change of government, which is a major and consequential matter, a supermajority of the House is required to precipitate this possibility (note: possibility) – a possibility, moreover, which can itself possibly be reversed at a subsequent General Election. And yet! – a mere 51.9% vote in an advisory referendum is taking as mandating a definite and permanent change in a far more important matter than a change of government, namely, a wholesale change in the position of the UK, and the loss of a raft of significant rights enjoyed by UK citizens in virtue of also currently being citizens of the EU. This is inconsistent and indefensible.
(2) It is equally indefensible that a number of important constituencies were excluded from the vote, despite being among the most crucially affected by the referendum: 16-17 year olds, British expatriates resident abroad for a longer than a certain period, and EU citizens whose lives, careers and families are rooted in the UK. This too is a serious matter; inadvertently or otherwise, the vote was gerrymandered, and has to be regarded as unfair and unrepresentative, disenfranchising constituencies with more at stake than the generality of voters.
(3) Even if one disregards all the foregoing, there is the powerful point that the 51.9% majority of votes cast on the 'Leave' side represents 37% of the total electorate, and 26% of the total population of the UK. On what conceivable grounds can this be taken as any sort of mandate for a government to take the UK out of the EU, still less an 'overwhelming' or 'clear' one? Given these simple numerical facts, the use of such adjectives as 'overwhelming' and 'clear' have a large taint of dishonesty about them. On the contrary, these numerical facts say that in considering the 'advice' of the advisory referendum, Parliament should reject it.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rg3Qpb-m53E?enablejsapi=1&origin=https:%2F%2Fwww.nchlondon.ac.uk]
(4) The 'Leave' side of the campaign offered no programme, no road map, no facts about the position of the UK after leaving the EU, no information about relationships with EU or other trading partners, no information about the loss of rights of UK citizens following resiles from EU treaties – in short, no sense of direction for our country. Wild and misleading promises were made e.g. about diverting £350,000,000 EU subsidies weekly to the NHS. Falsehoods about immigrants living in the UK who contribute to its society and economy verged on illegal forms of incitement and, disgracefully, have been acted on as such in some quarters. This, combined with 40 years of anti-EU propaganda by the largest circulation tabloid newspapers, adds up to a distorted, distorting and irresponsible 'Leave' campaign which, once again, cannot constitute support for the claim that anything 'overwhelming' or 'clear,' let alone 'mandating,' exists for the UK to quit the EU. On the contrary, serious questions arise about the conditions under which the referendum was held.
(5) It is well-known that before the referendum a majority of MPs and Lords were in favour of continued EU membership. Continued EU membership is – was – the stated policy of this Government, on which platform it was elected in the last General Election. These views in favour of continued EU membership were presumably based on informed judgment as to what is in the best interests of the UK. If this was the case before 23 June 2016, then, in light of the foregoing points, what can possibly justify (a) no discussion in Parliament whether or not to take the 'advice' of the advisory referendum, and (b) a dramatic change of mind on the part of people whose informed and considered judgment before 23 June was that continued EU membership is in the UK's best interests?
Taking all the foregoing together, it is clear that there is complete justification for a demand for Parliament to discuss whether or not to take the 'advice' of the advisory referendum, before any discussion of 'Hard' or 'Soft' or any other sort of 'Brexit.' Whether to take that 'advice' has not been decided yet, except by Mrs May and her Ministers. Because discussion of whether to take the 'advice' of the advisory referendum has not occurred, and because a 'Brexit' has not been mandated either by Parliament or the country, the country has every right to expect its sovereign Parliament to address the issue, and indeed to demand of it that it do so.
The public is conscious that some MPs are minded to put the tenure of their own seats before the interests of the country, using the excuse that even though they are themselves Remainers they will support Brexit because there was a Leave majority in their constituencies – and so they choose to reinvent themselves as messengers rather than representatives, and accordingly vote against their own better judgment and what they know is best for the country. Such MPs might have the following pointed out to them: the next General Election is scheduled for 2020. A week is a long time in politics. They therefore have plenty of opportunity to show leadership, to explain, encourage, make the case, and prove themselves excellent constituency MPs: and thus hope to retain their seats. Principle is always better than pusillanimity. MPs often vote on measures that are not popular with the public – for increased taxes, against capital punishment – and they can seek to make the case as to why, acting in the best interests of their constituents. This is no different – except that it is more important. Finally, such MPs might be reminded that it is only 37% of all who were given the chance to vote in the referendum who voted Leave; that is just one quarter of the UK population. They will have a majority on their side if they vote to abort Brexit, already so damaging, and keep the UK in the EU.
So: please kindly do tell me, in your role as legislator, as representative, as member of our Parliament, whether in light of the considerations (1)-(5) above you will move, with all your fellow MPs, to assert the sovereignty of Parliament in the matter of deciding whether or not to take the 'advice' of the advisory referendum?
Yours sincerely,
Professor A C Grayling
New College of the Humanities

text: Stephanie 1 Report post Posted March 23, 2017 Hi, I am looking for high resolution percent tree cover data for Southern Africa. I know the Hansen dataset has percent tree cover at 30 m global, but the values correspond to the growing season. I'm in need of percent tree cover for the dry season, so minimum tree cover instead of maximum tree cover which is the growing season. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to obtain this? Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Artist:
Robert Davidson is one of Canada's most respected and important contemporary artists. A Northwest Coast native of Haida descent, he is a master carver of totem poles and masks and works in a variety of other media as a printmaker, painter and jeweler. He is also a leading figure in the renaissance of Haida art and culture. Robert Davidson is best known as an impeccable craftsman whose creative and personal interpretation of traditional Haida form is unparalleled.
Robert Charles Davidson was born November 4, 1946 in Hydaburg Alaska. His Haida name is Guud San Glans/Eagle of The Dawn. He moved with his family to Massett on Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands) in 1947 and lived there until 1965 when he moved to Vancouver, to complete his education at Point Grey Secondary School. It was here that he first learned the fundamentals of silk-screening. In 1966 he met Bill Reid and through Reid, he met anthropologist Wilson Duff, artist Bill Holm and learned much about the Haida people and their art. In 1967 he enrolled in the Vancouver School of Art, a place he credits for developing his drawing and design skills.
Robert Davidson was surrounded by fine carving from an early age as both his father, Claude Davidson and grandfather, Robert Davidson Sr., were respected carvers in Massett. His great grandfather was the famed Haida carver Charles Edenshaw. Robert began carving at the age of 13 when his father insisted he carry on the family artistic tradition. Since that time, he has continued to explore the carved form in a variety of traditional and non-traditional media including bronze. He is now the consummate Haida artist whose strong rhythms and personal style are recognizable and sought the world over.
For more than thirty years, Robert Davidson has worked as an artist and has produced an internationally acclaimed body of work. His work is found in a number of important private and public collections including the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, the Vancouver Art Gallery, the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Hull, Quebec, the Southwest Museum in Los Angeles and the Artists for Kids Gallery in North Vancouver. He has also received many honours for his accomplishments. In 1995 he received the National Aboriginal Achievement Award for his contribution to First Nations art and culture. He holds honourary degrees from the University of Victoria, Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, the Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas and the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in Vancouver. He has received the Order of British Columbia and in 1996 was awarded the prestigious Order of Canada.
Eric Milliren & Steven
It is a pleasure for both of us to work with the curator and director of the C.N. Gorman Museum to present this show of Robert Davidson's work, along with a few works by each of four of his family members, namely, his brother Reg, father Claude, grandfather Robert, Sr., and great grandfather Charles Edenshaw (who is considered the greatest Haida artist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries). It is also a pleasure to have Robert and his wife Terri-Lynn Williams-Davidson as friends.
Our interest in Northwest Coast native art began in October 1985 when Steve was on a trip to Boston with a plane change in Chicago. He bought the current issue of Islands at O'Hare and found an article titled "Totem Pole Islands" that focuses on Haida Gwaii (the Queen Charlotte Islands, ancestral home of the Haida First Nation, to use the Canadian term) and the other islands off the coast of British Columbia and that was replete with photographs of Northwest Coast art. The impact of the article was such that he simply fell in love with Haida art and, over time, the art of the Tsimshian and Tlingit.
Eric had a slight familiarity with the art beginning when he was six or seven because his father, the leader of a local Boy Scout troop, had turned a segment of a dead tree into a rather goofy-looking totem pole that was erected in their front yard.
Steve purchased the first piece in our collection in November 1985, and, when we became a couple in 1988, we found that we shared excitement about Northwest Coast art. We started collecting in earnest and about mid-1990, Eric pointed out that we were accumulating a collection of interesting pieces but that the collection had no overall organizing theme. We decided to begin collecting older pieces in addition to modern ones. Over time the collection has grown to over 225 pieces in various media and about 750 publications.
Artist Statement:
I'm at a crossroads right now where I've recycled the ideas of my teachers, of the old pieces, of the old examples I've been studying. My challenge is to go beyond those recycled ideas and create a new vocabulary for myself. The vocabulary I've been working with has come from the old pieces by Charles Edenshaw and other masters, it has come from my dad's teachings, from my grandfather's teachings, from Bill Reid's teachings. I'm continually challenging myself to expand from that knowledge. At first I thought I was pushing the art form. But I feel that's presumptuous – it's not up to me to say I'm doing that. I have years and years of experience in the art form, and now I'm experimenting to see how far I can push my own understanding.
I feel that every artist reaches a point in their creative lifetime where they want to have their own story, their own signature. It took many years before I was able to actually feel that I was crating my own style. I still remember a spoon I engraved in 1974, where I felt for the first time I was crating something from my own experience. Once I learned the vocabulary of the art, it became my privilege and responsibility to create within those boundaries and to challenge them within the language. I would rather stay within those confines than step out of them.
Expanding my understanding of the art form is not unlike hosting a feast. When I hosted my first feast, in 1980, I really bent a lot of people out of shape because of the way I did it without consultation. It was a profound lesson. The potlatch I hosted most recently came from the knowledge and experience of all of the potlatches and feasts I've hosted: it came from coaching from my naani [grandmother], coaching from my uncles and some of my elders, and consulting with my clan. But many of the teachers who guided me in the past are no longer here. The potlatch is a public forum, and so it's a way of establishing – and defining – the process. The potlatch was the event, and the people who attended were part of the experience. The next potlatch will grow from there.
I know that my experiments with the art form have a lot to do with my having a foot in each doorway: it means changing from hosting a potlatch to working in the studio – it means changing paths from challenging myself in the potlatch to continuing this dialogue with a new vocabulary of Haida art and with new supernatural beings. One feeds the other. The art builds on the experience of hosting a feast, it builds on the experience of going to feasts. When I start to draw an image, there's an order to it that is already established. It's very much like using the letters of the alphabet to make words: you don't just draw the letters together and think you're saying something. The art is the same way; to carve a totem pole is the same way. The art comes from experience – it's not a whim.

It was a year later, and they were at the hospital again. This time, Jerry and Michelle Sanders were bringing home a baby. Sean Michael Sanders was all wrapped up in his Grandmother Chloris' arms. It hadn't happened over night, and took a lot of work, most things worth accomplishing are born of consistency. They kept at it, and eventually arrived at a far better place. Carl and Annette pulled up in the transport. Their son Collin was helping them carry the bags out. Annette had never met Carl's secretary's husband. They still were amazed at how God had placed everyone within reach. For the longest time, the two of…

Matthew 1:4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; Have you ever noticed the two lists, one in Matthew, and the other in Luke? They are genealogies. According to Scofield, Matthew lists Joseph's lineage, and Luke lists Mary's family. Luke mentioning Joseph because he was her husband. Some may wonder why The Lord took time to recite them all. Others may have wanted it to be filled with information about the Infant Christ. The wonderful thing is, God intentionally made a place for what others may think as just a register. To Him, this is more than a list of names. These were living, breathing…

Cloris braced herself for a tirade of emotions once she explained to her son why she had pushed him out of her life. Hans had delivered him and his wife to the hospital. Jerry would be prepped for surgery soon. In the transport, Jerry and Michelle had talked. "Jerry, you don't have to do this to prove anything to me."

The F.L.O.P. – The Eagle
Good morning Mr. President. It had been years since I had been here, especially shortly before Christmas. I had forgotten how cold it gets in northern Nova Scotia. Of course I was also sneezing from my allergies. As you know, our contact never made it at the first appointment. I received a phone call from a local hospital the next afternoon. He said that he wasn't sure why Meyersmith hadn't killed him. I explained that at a certain level, it's less messy to let people live. Had he killed him, he would have had to discard a body, which brings complications. For some reason, this didn't really reassure our contact.…

Westbound Interstate 90 off-ramp at Sixth Street in Austin to close, detour July 10 for repairs
ROCHESTER, Minn. — Motorists using the westbound Interstate 90 off-ramp (Exit 178B) at Sixth Street in Austin will encounter a detour on July 10 as construction crews repair the ramp's concrete panels, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
The detour for the one-day project is to exit at Fourth Street (Exit 178A), cross over I-90 and return to the eastbound I-90 lanes and exit eastbound at Sixth Street. If weather or other delays occur, MnDOT will announce the new information.
A message board will alert motorists next week about the detour for concrete repairs.
Further west, westbound I-90 motorists will encounter lane changes for a concrete repaving project east of Albert Lea. There, motorists will shift lanes to travel in a single lane adjacent to the eastbound traffic in a single lane. Some westbound ramps are closed. Follow the signed detour. For more information on this project, visit MnDOT's construction website at: mndot.gov/d6/projects/i90-concreteoverlay

Software Architecture and design is becoming the mainstream of software design systems for software development. Architecture embodies information about components and their interaction, but omits information about components that does not pertain to their interaction. Thus, an architecture is foremost an abstraction of a system that suppresses details of components that do not affect the use, the relations and interactions of components. Private details of components, details that have to do solely with internal implementation and are not externally visible, are not architectural. In short, architecture determines how components interact, not how they are implemented.

Research on the effect of experience on the structure and function of the brain across the lifespan pertains directly to the concerns of professionals involved with children's early development and education. This paper briefly reviews (a) the role of experience in shaping the developing brain, (b) individual adaptation to the environment through learning and memory, and (c) the effects of stress on the developing and adult brain. Controversies about applications of this knowledge to recommendations for parents and teachers regarding the care and education of young children are described followed by current neuroscience research and scholarship in early education. Neuroscience perspectives and methods are currently contributing to research on children's early environments and experiences. Thus, it is vital that early development and education professionals become knowledgeable about them.

The Aquarium in Houston Texas used Phantom linear cove lighting products to outline a series of decorative coves over the exterior dining areas. The contrast between the warm Phantom lighting and the blue neon lights is quite handsome from every viewing angle. Cove lighting is a form of indirect lighting that emanates from fixtures placed on or near the ceiling of a room. Generally, linear cove lights reside within or alongside ledges, ceiling recesses, or valances and can be used to provide anything from general room lighting to accent lighting and ambient lighting. Linear cove lights may be fitted with any number of bulb types, and typically come equipped with dimmer controls that allow for lighting levels to be adjusted in order to fit the mood and purpose of the occasion.
Linear cove light strips offer the distinct advantage of being almost completely concealable. Because they are composed of fixtures made from thin strips of material, they can be fitted to almost any surface where there is a change in the ceiling plane. This includes more places than you might initially think. Almost every home today has some variation in ceiling height, and many custom homes have vaulted ceilings with large skylights or places to hang chandeliers. Hotels tend to have ornately designed lobbies, with the ceiling being equally decorative and possibly consisting of multiple "levels" of interior architecture. Office foyers also tend to have variances in the ceiling, and any lighting here can help set the tone for meetings with visitors and clients. All of these places can be illuminated and enhanced with linear cove rope or strip lights
One of the reasons that linear cove lighting strips are so popular is because it is an indirect source of light. Indirect lighting relies upon reflection to distribute light rather than aiming the light directly at the subject. Because reflection disperses photons in all directions, indirect light tends to create a "wash" of light that cascades downward onto a room or along side of a wall. In the case of linear cove lights, this has the effect of causing the ceiling area to glow with a gentle luminescence that dispels shadows around beams, contours, and decorative fixtures. It also works to minimize glare because light that has already been reflected off of a ceiling or wall is less intense and therefore less likely to produce glare if it strikes a shiny surface in the room.
Cove lighting helps to accentuate elevation changes in the ceiling and to showcase keynotes of interior architecture. When fitted with dimmer controls, linear cove lighting strips can be turned down to create accent lighting for mood, or then can turned up to create a brighter level of general lighting that adds to a room's functional and task light.
Today's linear cove lights are almost as diversified as the many interiors they illuminate. Most linear lighting manufacturers use very thin pieces of metal or plastic to aid in concealing them from plain view. Any number of lamp styles can be fitted to these fixtures, ranging from incandescent and fluorescent to xenon and the new, power-saving Phantom LED strip lights. The choice of bulb depends mainly on the environment to be lit and the desired effects of the lighting on that environment. Incandescent lamps produce a very white light and make for excellent room lighting. Xenon light has a slightly golden aura to its tone that makes it ideal for decorative and ambient lighting. LED light bulbs can be used for both general or accent lighting and use only 20% of the electricity as other types of bulbs.
Phantom's CM linear strip series is a linear cove light designed with maximum adaptability and maximum concealment foremost in mind. Phantom CM strips are custom-cut to the precise dimensions of the ceiling surface using a carefully engineered combination of metal glare shields that provide maximum lighting control. Phantom CM strips are low voltage fixtures that are fully dimmable and optimized for energy compliance and extended bulb life. The growing popularity of LED lighting for both accent and functional requirements has made our proprietary 0.6 watt LED festoon lamp one of the most sought after lamping options for this series. Other lamps types are also available for both specialty and generalized needs. Phantom linear cove lights are available in 8 distinct color options to further conceal their presence against a variety of backgrounds.
Phantom Lighting continues to set trends in luxury art and linear strip lighting. With patented technology designed to conceal materials and produce apparently sourceless lighting, Phantom's specialty products provide some of the world's most sophisticated display, shelf, cabinet, fine art, museum, and statuary lighting equipment.
Contact us Toll-Free 1-800-863-1184 now and ask a lighting Agent in your area about the many ways that Phantom products can enhance and beautify your home, office, or hospitality business today.

Spending Some Time With The Samsung Continuum (Review)
A sexy, sleek new Android device from Verizon Wireless brings a little twist to makes it stand out on its own. While it sports the Galaxy S logo many are familiar with, the Continuum separates itself with a few distinctions. The smaller 3.4" Super AMOLED screen really is a beauty, just like all the other Galaxy S devices. The 1.8" ticker display is the first thing to stand out & separate the Continuum from the rest of the pack. Aside from a few dislikes, the albeit gimmicky device should land in the hands of many Verizon Wireless customers. Best suited for those with smaller hands that find a typical 4.3" display to be too large, but don't want to sacrifice the speed of the ultra fast Hummingbird CPU.
Samsung Continuum Hands-on [VIDEO]
Could someone please fix Samsungs roof? They've been leaking so much about the new Samsung Continuum, that there weren't actually many surprises at the announcement tonight. Well, there were a few of them.
Samsung and Verizon Unveil Terribly Kept Secret That is the Continuum
Samsung and Verizon officially announced the latest in the Galaxy S series of phones yesterday with the new, exclusive Continuum. The dual-screen device packs much of the same heft as Verizon's other Galaxy S handset (Fascinate) with its 1GHz Hummingbird processor, 5-megapixel camera, and 8GB microSD card.
Early Phone Guide Reveals Samsung Continuum Details
We love it when people post some files to the internet early, as is the case with the Galaxy S Froyo source. The employees over Verizon continue the trend, posting a somewhat early guide of the Samsung Continuum.
Verizon Rumored to Drop Samsung Continuum, LG Vortex on October 29
According to sources at Droid Life, Verizon is set to launch two new Android handsets next Friday, October 29th. Should their intel prove correct, we should expect a press release from Verizon any moment.
Dual Screen Samsung Continuum Spied
Two new Samsung devices in one day! It was just over a month ago when we saw the year-end roadmap for Verizon come to light. Among the unknown/unseen handsets teased was a Samsung i400 "Continuum" which was said to be a mid-range phone. Flash forward to today and we see that we're looking at another Galaxy S class phone. This time, there's a twist.

Amazon is changing the way it prices its cloud services, according to Fortune.com.
Starting from next month, the company is moving to a system of billing by the second rather than by the hour.
It might surprise some people who either don't use Amazon Web Services, the company's cloud unit, or maybe use a different provider. But Amazon was previously charging by the hour.
Critics and cynics might say that charging by the hour was probably inflating the company's revenues from its cloud business.
By changing to per-second billing, Amazon brings its cloud pricing structure closer its main rivals' cloud pricing systems. In fact, Amazon has gone beyond them.
Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure have both been available on per-minute billing for the past several years.
Whether they will take Amazon's lead and move to a per-second billing system remains to be seen.
Amazon is credited with being the first company to provide cloud computing services. In fact, it popularised the obscure term which was only known by a relatively few computer experts.
When Amazon launched cloud services, through its Amazon Web Services, in 2006, it was the only big company which was offering customers the opportunity to utilise vast computing resources without asking them to manage the infrastructure.
Until then, if you wanted to use a large number of servers, you basically had to set up your own data centre, small or large.
With AWS, you could start small and scale up, or start large and scale down – whatever you wanted to do, you could do it without having to worry about the underlying infrastructure.
Amazon went one step further by introducing a new system of serverless computing, which meant that all of the hardware was virtualised.
Like cloud computing, serverless computing is also seen as an innovation popularised by Amazon, if not invented by it.
The advantage of serverless computing, of course is that you could "spin up" or create a server and then shut it down again within hours or even minutes – making it appear and disappear like magic.
This is obviously far less cumbersome and time-consuming than using an actual, physical server for the same purpose, and it's similar to what many users are doing.
Business Insider quotes Amazon's Jeff Barr as writing: "Many of our customers are dreaming up applications for EC2 that can make good use of a large number of instances for shorter amounts of time, sometimes just a few minutes."
EC2 stands for Elastic Cloud 2, one of the central cloud computing platforms at AWS.
At the moment, Amazon's per-second billing is only available on virtual servers running the Linux operating system – not the Windows servers.
Linux is probably the main cloud computing platform anyway, so Amazon's offer probably applies to most users.
In an interview, Mike Bell, executive vice president of internet of things and devices at Canonical, the company that maintains the Ubuntu distribution of Linux, 60 per cent of public cloud platforms run the Ubuntu Linux operating system.

The Quest Chronicles
It's Tuesday, T-Quest Tuesday that is! I go by the name T-Quest & welcome to my world. Love, Life Music & More from MY perspective. I would like to thank Straight Official for having me apart of the team. As a blogger, I will be allowing you all into my world, my adventures, experiences & more. For those who are new to my world, let me give you an insight to who I am and what I'm about. I'm what you call an overall entertainer! A music artist, party host, radio personality, comedian, fashion designer & the list goes on.
Being involved with many aspects of the entertainment industry, it allows me to not only be in the forefront but behind the scenes as well. If you've seen any music reality shows excusing the "scripted parts", you would see that everything of the industry is not glitz and glam. Fans look up to us in admiration but tend to forget that we're human too, Which means, we cry, get angry, have confrontations, stress and anxiety just like everybody else. We're more relate-able than the average person may believe. For example, I personally feel fans get a better understanding and a more realistic love for celebrities when they watch their "Behind The Music" specials, listen to certain radio interviews, watch biopics & read their auto-biography's because that gives celebrities the opportunity to connect with you and show a more vulnerable side once the camera is off, the mics are off and the wigs are off.
Imagine knowing your favorite music artist goes through the same pain you do. Imagine your celebrity crush having more in common with you than your best friend. Imagine your quirkiness and unique style is actually cool to the same people you look up to. Just because you see them on the tv, watch them in concert & hear them on the radio doesn't make them that much different than the average person. Let's make the connection.
As you take a QUEST through my world. You would read about my perspective on many topics.
LOVE: My favorite subject. From time to time, I will answer QUESTions from my fans about their relationships or lack there of and give my opinions only to help not to enable.
LIFE: It can be hard especially juggling the many dynamics of it but I am here to give advice & tips to make it easier. Whether it's about family, finance, business, etc.We're a village to let's help one another.
Music: The true love of my life & a soft spot because this is not only my profession, it's my passion, my escape & happiness. I love to help those coming up with me & make them aware of certain things they may have not been taught. This new generation is emulating social media & lacking true teachers to properly guide them the right way through this industry so here I am!
MORE: The most exciting portion of this blog because this section may be filled with fashion, radio, SEX & just imaginations running wild! Mature audience is advised! lol
Let's have some fun together. Email me topics to discuss & QUESTions you may have. To learn more about me or to hear more about certain topics in dept please dowload my app "T-Quest" & visit my website GottaLoveMeWorld.com
