According to the survey, which integrated the opinions of over 2,000 adults from across the United States and Instacart data, nearly half of Americans think canned cranberry sauce is “disgusting.” But are they really giving it a fair shake?
First of all, there’s the fact that fresh cranberry sauce is not difficult to make. Instacart customers bought twice as much canned sauce than fresh cranberries last year. If more people went to the relatively minor effort of making sauce with fresh cranberries, might they rehabilitate the tattered reputation of the venerable fruit-based condiment?
Then there’s the fact that a third of the folks who serve canned cranberry sauce leave it in the shape on the can when it makes it to the table. They get points for honesty, to be sure, but is there a less appetizing way to serve something? You could at least run a spoon through it, sheesh.
So why does canned cranberry sauce persist? There’s the traditional aspect—people are reticent to not have something at the table they’ve had their entire lives—and the fact that lots of people eat it even though they don’t like it.
The survey found that over two-thirds of Americans secretly dislike a classic Thanksgiving food but eat it anyway because of tradition. Canned cranberry sauce was the biggest offender; 29 percent of people eat it even though they don’t like it.
So if you end up buying and throwing away a full can of cranberry sauce every year, this Thanksgiving might be a good year to ditch it for good or at least give the fresh, non-can-shaped stuff a shot. Because maybe you’d be a fan of the cran after all.

This achievement is part of a contract signed with the Italian company ENI to drill 37 oil wells in the Zubair oil field in Basra, in collaboration with oilfield services company Schlumberger . Zubair/563 marks the twenty-third well drilled under this project, using the powerful IDC 38 drilling rig with a 1500 horsepower capacity.
The drilling rig, IDC 38, will be relocated to another site within the same field to commence drilling the Zubair/608 oil well. The company has allocated IDC 37 and IDC 38 drilling rigs for the execution of this project, both of which are modern drilling equipment owned by the company.

It is estimated that each year eating disorders cost the UK economy a staggering £15.8 billion. Providing care and support for those in need is proving to be an overwhelming challenge in a time of budget cuts and austerity.
Coupled with increasing numbers of sufferers, it is quickly becoming clear that there are many people out there struggling in silence failing to get the help they need. Furthermore, this help cannot come quickly enough.
This February Beat UK are organising a series of events and suggesting fun ideas in order to spread their message, raise funds for those in need, and generally try to make a difference by challenging stereotypes and quashing stigmas.
Their Sock It To Eating Disorders campaign is both fun and engaging, encouraging people to organise bake sales and don their coolest pair of fabulous socks. Most importantly, it aims to get people talking.
Supporting women and men of all ages, they aim to aid the recovery of those struggling with anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating. Thought to be around 725, 000 people in the UK, there is no denying that drastic action needs to be taken to make the difficult recovery process as easy as it can possibly be.
This month Curva will interview a series of individuals willing to share their stories. Together we will make a difference in somebody’s life. Support the campaign by using the hashtag #EDAW2016 or posting your fashionable socks with the hashtag #SockItSelfie

Italian actress Monica Viti has died at the age of 90 after allegedly suffering from dementia.
Born Maria Luisa Chechiarelli in Rome in 1931, she made two English-language films, including a spy parody, Modesti Blaze, with Terence Stump and Dirk Bogard in 1966.
Before turning to comedy in the 1970s, Viti starred in a series of films made by director Michelangelo Antonioni, her lover at the time.
L’Avventura, La Notte, L’Eclisse and Red Desert are described as a study of “modernity and its grievances”.
In the first of them, released in 1960, Viti plays an icy cool woman who has sunk in a relationship with the lover of a missing friend.
In the Red Desert, she plays a hero who struggles to cope with a transformed industrial world.
In a special screening at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1999, Antonioni paid tribute to her performance.
“The main character Juliana is going through a deep personal crisis due to her inability to adapt,” he said.
In 1970, Viti participated with Marcello Mastroianni in Dramma Della Gelosia, a Roma woman.
Four years later, she won the David di Donatello Award – the equivalent of the Italian Oscar – for Best Actress in Polvere di Stella, one of five such awards in her career.
In 1995, the Venice Film Festival awarded her the Golden Lion for her career achievements.
Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi said Viti was an actress with “great irony and extraordinary talent, who won over generations of Italians with her spirit, bravado and beauty.”

Apollo Command and Service Module
October 19, 2021
Apollo Command and Service Module was one of the parts of the spacecraft used in Project Apollo (the other part was the Lunar Apollo Module). It consisted of two parts: Command Module and Service Module. Both always act together, disconnecting only when re-entering the Earth's atmosphere. The Command Module is the capsule, it has a conical shape, which the astronauts occupied during most of the trip, and was the only part that re-entered the atmosphere land, falling by parachute. The Service Module, cylindrical in shape, contained the life-sustaining equipment (such as oxygen cylinders) and engines. These two modules worked together, forming a set whose objective was to keep the astronauts safe during the trip and for re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere. For re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere, the Command Module had a heat shield, which allowed the vehicle to resist to the high temperatures generated by reentry, and a parachute system. The Command Module was the control center of the Apollo spacecraft and the space to hold Apollo astronauts during missions. It contained the pressurized main cabin, crew seats, instrument and control panel, electronic and optical steering systems, communications systems, environment control system, batteries, heat shield, reaction control system, feedback device. coupling, five windows and the parachute system. The Service Module was the part of the spacecraft that was not pressurized and contained the fuel cells, batteries, high-gain antenna, radiators, water, oxygen, hydrogen, control system reaction, propellant to leave lunar orbit, and service propulsion system. On the Apollo 15, Apollo 16 and Apollo 17 missions he also carried a pack of scientific instruments, mapping camera and a small sub-satellite to study the Moon. Most of the Apollo Service Module is taken up by the propellant and the rocket engine which places the spacecraft in lunar orbit and then returns it to Earth. The main engine is also used for course corrections during the trip to the Moon. The Service Module remains coupled to the Command Module throughout the mission, disconnecting from it only for re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere (only the Command Module re-enters ).The Apollo Command and Service Module was designed and manufactured by "North American Aviation", an aircraft manufacturer in the United States, which had previously manufactured some experimental aircraft for NASA.

Your chocolate is seizing. There's a nice discussion of exactly what's happening at the molecular level here:
What happened to my melted couverture?
The usual fix for seizing is to add more liquid, but I think you've got so much liquid in there that you can't agitate it well enough to break up the clumps. So you get lumps of seized chocolate swimming in liquid.
A better solution is to dissolve your chocolate in a small amount of boiling water, over medium temperature rather than in a double boiler. Since there is no milk in it at that point, you don't have to worry about overcooking the milk proteins. Then you can add the dairy to the hot chocolate syrup, then heat through. Because the chocolate is already dissolved, it will distribute evenly through the milk.
It shouldn't need any thickening agent. The chocolate is starchy enough on its own to thicken the dairy. (If you do like it with the starchy mouthfeel, you can add a small amount of cornstarch with the cold milk.)
The recipe I use runs something like this:
Put 1 ounce of bittersweet chocolate, 1 tbsp sugar, and a quarter cup of water in a small pot
Cook over medium heat, stirring until it becomes a thickened syrup
Add 8 ounces milk
Heat through, stirring
Add 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
I like to whip it with a stick blender. You can also use half-and-half for a richer result. You may want more sugar; you can add that at the table.
Similar recipes are also made in a double boiler, e.g. www.food.com/recipe/angelina-s-hot-chocolate-334398. I don't think the double boiler is necessary.
Note: it's better to use eating chocolate rather than unsweetened. Unsweetened chocolate isn't as thoroughly "conched", since it's usually used for cakes, where that doesn't matter as much. In a drink it'll be slightly gritty. (I'm also told that they use lower-quality beans, but I haven't done a taste test.)

In 2006, about 19% of married men and 13% of married women under the age of 30 said that they had been unfaithful to their spouse. Do those numbers sound high? They certainly are if we compare them with the results of a survey 15 years before, when the respective numbers were roughly 13% and 11%. A "mere" two-percentage-point increase for women and a six-percentage-point increase for men may not sound like much, but to put it another way: Between 1991 and 2006, the numbers of unfaithful wives under 30 increased by 20% and husbands by a whopping 45%. These numbers come from a study conducted by David Atkins of the University of Washington Center for the Study of Health and Risk Behaviors. Mr. Atkins, who reached these conclusions by breaking down data from the National Opinion Research Center's General Social Survey, presented his findings at the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies conference in Orlando earlier this month.
The rise in infidelity among this cohort has caught some marriage experts off-guard. David Popenoe of the Marriage Project, at Rutgers University, immediately noted this oddity: Although our culture may have gotten more sexually permissive over the past 50 years, "the attitudes against adultery have gotten firmer over time." He cites one survey showing that more than 90% of the population believes that cheating on one's spouse is always wrong.

AMC will help get fans ready for the carnage to come with a two-hour The Walking Dead retrospective special that’s scheduled to air a week prior to the highly anticipated season 7 premiere.
Airing from 9-11 p.m. ET on Sunday, October 16, on AMC, the special, titled The Walking Dead: Journey So Far, will look at the key events that have led up to this pivotal seventh season. In addition to remembering some of the main characters we lost thus far, including Shane (Jon Bernthal), Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies), and Merle (Michael Rooker), and recapping the series, the special will also include interviews with cast members, showrunners, and more to add perspective to the series.
It appears AMC hopes the special will also draw in non-fans, who have had to endure months of chatter about “who did Negan kill?” at the end of season 6, which is reminiscent of the “who shot J.R.?” cliffhanger that had everyone talking about the series Dallas in the early 1980s — whether they watched the show or not.
“The Walking Dead: Journey So Far gives viewers who have never seen an episode of The Walking Dead a chance to get all caught up on the plot, characters, locations, and unique terminology of the series,” confirms AMC in a press release, “as well as providing fans who’ve never missed a moment with fresh interviews with the series’ producers and their favorite actors as part of an exciting refresher course that will further whet their appetites for the new season.”
Chances are, loyal viewers will be looking for hints within the special that suggest a sort of farewell to whomever gets the ax — er, bat — on the season premiere at the hands of Negan and Lucille. But teary-eyed fans will get the chance to officially say goodbye to the departed cast member(s) during a 90-minute edition of Talking Dead that will air immediately following the episode. It will feature all 12 cast members involved in the critical scene, including Andrew Lincoln (Rick), Norman Reedus (Daryl), Steven Yeun (Glenn), Lauren Cohan (Maggie), Danai Gurira (Michonne), Michael Cudlitz (Abraham), Sonequa Martin-Green (Sasha), Chandler Riggs (Carl), Josh McDermitt (Eugene), Christian Serratos (Rosita), Ross Marquand (Aaron), and Negan himself, Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Also present to presumably take the heat for whoever gets killed will be executive producers Scott M. Gimple and Robert Kirkman, as well as host Chris Hardwick. An online sweepstakes allows fans to enter to win tickets to the episode, which will welcome 2,000 people at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles. Someone — or someones? — will be getting eulogized.
The season 7 premiere of The Walking Dead airs on AMC at 9 p.m. ET on Sunday, October 23.
- Giancarlo Esposito will star in new AMC series, The Driver
- AMC lines up a new Walking Dead spinoff for Negan and Maggie
- The Walking Dead: All 10 seasons, ranked

text: In four conditioned taste aversion experiments with rats as subjects, the effects of extinguished or pre-exposed flavors on retardation and summation tests was compared. Experiment 1 showed that when steps were taken to ensure similar exposure to the target flavor in all conditions, acquisition after pre-exposure and reacquisition after extinction proceeded at a similar rate and was slower than acquisition in a new stimulus control condition. In Experiment 2, reacquisition occurring 2 days after extinction was again slower than acquisition to a new stimulus, but this retardation disappeared when extinction and reacquisition were separated by a 21 days interval. Experiment 3 showed that both an extinguished and a pre-exposed flavor produced a similar summation effect, attenuating the aversion to a previously conditioned flavor. Finally, Experiment 4 showed that this attenuation was also produced by a new flavor. These results suggest, first, that retarded acquisition after extinction of a conditioned taste aversion might be the result of latent inhibition produced by extended experience with the flavor during extinction and, second, that attenuation of aversion to a test excitor on a summation test might not reflect any specific learning process but be simply due to stimulus generalization decrement.

Spikenard resin is derived from the spikenard flower (Nardostachys jatamansi), from the Himalayan regions of Nepal, China, and India.
"Spikenard is the most sublime perfume of love. Spikenard is the perfume of higher initiates. It is the perfume of liberation. The perfume of spikenard efficiently acts on the consciousness of artists. Wherever art and beauty are present, the fragrance of the spikenard must also be present. The planet of spikenard is Saturn. The mantra of the elemental population of spikenard is “Atoya.” Spikenard is the perfume of the new Aquarian Age." - Samael Aun Weor, Igneous Rose
Spikenard is the perfume of Aquarius. When Aquarians are sick, to be healed rapidly they must smell spikenard every day.
Includes one (1) ounce of spikenard incense (resin and powder), packaged in a reusable, food-grade pouch made from natural Japanese kraft paper with a resealable airtight zip lock closure.
Gums, resins, and powders are best used with charcoal and a brazier. This ancient method is very easy and effective, but requires vigilance and caution, since it depends on fire. Be alert to ensuring that whatever you burn is kept far from flammable materials.
In a brazier or firesafe pot, light an incense charcoal. When it is white hot, spoon some incense onto the coal.
Wow!! Off the charts. This incense is most certainly toward the top of my list.
If Love and Beauty had a smell surely this would be closely reflective of those qualities. :-)
Every time I opened the pouch a smile and Mmmmmm happened as I smelled that heavenly scent. Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!
So glad that I have the opportunity to learn about this inscense.
Good product sealed in nice well marked pouch. Found the amount of incense perfect for my needs.

The sacking had nothing to do with the petitioner's handling of the Jisha murder case or the Puttingal fire tragedy, two incidents that the state claimed showed his incompetence, the lawyer submitted.
"This is a response to the arrogance of the chief minister", he said.
It was on April 24, that the Supreme Court had directed Kerala to reinstate the senior Indian Police Service officer as the Director General of Police.
The CPM-led Kerala government on Friday cleared the reinstatement of T P Senkumar as the state police chief. The contempt plea, filed against the Chief Secretary, alleged there was a "sinister intention" behind her "resolute refusal" to implement the court's direction and sought strict punishment against her.
Chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan signed the related file tonight and the government order would be issued tomorrow, sources in his office said.
In a strongly worded order, the SC bench told the Kerala government that it was wasting the court's time.
Venezuelans again take to streets as death toll jumps to 37
Opponents say Maduro's bid to call a constitutional convention is a ploy to put off elections that polls say it would lose. Crowds of them marched in Caracas , some clashing with riot police who blocked their way and fired tear gas.
Critics say law would steal overtime pay from workers
The bill keeps in place all other requirements under the Fair Labor Standards Act and maintains protections for employees. This makes for an uphill battle in the Senate, even though the White House has come out in support of the measure.
Rainy next 48 hours, Flash Flood Watch in effect
Tuesday's risk of storms is expected to primarily affect areas along and north of USA 412, according to the weather service. The primary threats with storms are localized flooding, hail up to 1 inch in diameter and lightning.
The state's counsel had requested the bench not to impose the fine and had offered to withdraw the application.
Reinstating Senkumar, a bench of Justice Madan B. Lokur and Justice Deepak Gupta, had then said that the officer was dealt with "unfairly and arbitrarily".
Senkumar should have been appointed soon after the apex courts earlier order, he said, adding the LDF government had no right to continue in office politically or morally.
On Tuesday, the Chief Minister informed the Assembly that his government is duty-bound to abide by the Supreme Court order and it is just awaiting legal opinion on the matter. It also imposed costs of Rs. 25,000 on the State for filing the petition for clarification. Earlier, while reinstating Senkumar, the top court had said no one could help "God's own country" (Kerala's tourism tagline) if "it is bent upon making irregular or illegal appointments to sensitive posts". The government perforce has to reinstate Senkumar after the SC came down heavily on the Pinarayi regime while dismissing its clarification petition.
Senkumar, who is due to retire on June 30, had also urged the court to extend his tenure as state police chief for the period which was illegally taken off from him. The apex court issued the order while considering TP Senkumar's contempt petition over the delay in his reinstatement as the police chief.

Climate warnings have been around for decades. Guardian reporting on the issue dates back as far as 1890
It reads like a summary of the year so far: drought in Europe, floods in Pakistan, and a high pressure system ‘stuck’ in the North Atlantic, disrupting normal weather patterns. And scientists blaming it all on climate change.
But the Guardian article in question was not published in 2022, but in 1978.

Pfizer issues $1bn sustainability bond
Proceeds are earmarked for the manufacturing and distribution of vaccines
August 27, 2021
Pfizer has increased its presence in the growing sustainable debt market by issuing a $1 billion sustainability bond which will support the delivery of the Covid-19 vaccine.
The note, due in 2031, is set to yield 0.53 percentage points above Treasuries after initial price discussions in the 0.75 percentage point area, according to media reports.
The New York-based pharmaceutical firm says proceeds from the sale are earmarked for research and development expenses and manufacturing and distribution of vaccines.
Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley are leading the sale which will also boost environmental and social impact projects within vulnerable populations.
Pfizer also sold a similar $1.25bn sustainability bond in March 2020 which will pay interest semi-annually of 2.625% and mature in 2030.
Pfizer’s executive VP Sally Susman said enhancing “our environmental stewardship and favourably impacting on the health of society is a goal Pfizer feels passionately about”.
PNC Bank also closed its inaugural social bond in August 2021 with an issuance of $700m in 1.15% senior notes due in 2026.
The US financial giant said proceeds would be primarily used to finance or refinance projects that promote “positive social outcomes” and benefit low-and-middle-income communities.
Momentum in the sustainable debt market – green, social and sustainability (GSS) bonds – looks set to continue, according to a report from the investor-focused not-for-profit Climate Bonds Initiative.
It said the market reached a cumulative $1.7 trillion in 2020, with green remaining the dominant theme, but with social and sustainability achieving higher volumes than in all previous years combined.
The report concludes it expects the coming year to deliver a “sustained resurgence in GSS markets” driven by factors such as increasing national net-zero commitments and potential for a new climate triple-axis between the US, China and the EU, and a shift towards transition-based investment.


Intel is preparing to launch its Sandy Bridge processors at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January. The most interesting thing about these new processors is the kill switch that is built into them. What, a kill switch? Why? The government wants it? So they can control Us (another government totalitarian device) if, for example, our business is successful but they didn’t like it – kill switch, you have opposite thoughts for the government – kill switch, downloading torrent music and movies – kill switch, Internet porn – kill switch, buying AMD graphics cards – kill switch, visiting wikileaks – kill switch… You get the point?
But, according to Intel – “This is our first microprocessor where we have one billion transistors on a single CPU like this. Now we’ve built in more thermal capabilities and performance enhancements. With Sandy Bridge, we’ll still have the naming conventions for Core i3, Corei5 and Core i7. The new performance capabilities are improved graphics, faster processing and “improved” security and trust features designed to keep the whole computing experience more secure.”
The kill switch part.. There is new anti-theft technology that Intel has built into Sandy Bridge. Users no longer need to worry if their laptop gets lost or stolen because with Sandy Bridge it can be shut down remotely. But, even if the CPU is kill switched, there’s nothing stopping the thief from taking out the HDD and putting it in another computer so they can still get our personal info, business plans, strategies etc..
We all know that we are subject of societal tracking grid, from credit cards to mobile phones to a GPS tracking devices, so couldn’t Intel at least have come up with a way to track your stolen laptop with a Global Positioning System (GPS) so it can be easily tracked by authorities and returned to the owner?
But we think, the goal is more global, with putting a kill switch in their new processors it seem like they want to disconnect you from your personal right to be informed.
Thank you but, I will hang-out with my old laptop as long as I can. I hope there is no kill switch in it so it can not be shut down to force me to buy a new one with improved kill switch.


Steel Grit is fabricated by examination of abrasive media and then tempering them to the desired hardness. mainly Steel Grit is used to remove rust where the cleaning speed is high and a rough finish is suitable. Steel Grit manufacturers can also understand the term crushed steel shot.
Most commonly steel grit manufacturer is used for removal of mill scale and to remove different degrees of coating from the surface. G25 - G80 is used most frequently and by repeated striking metal strength is increase. Steel grit manufacturer can also use for concrete surfaces, rubber build-up removal, and adhesive removal.

Pilates, and history of the sports shoe pt2
It was originally called Contrology. Everyone knows it now as Pilates. It's become enormously popular in recent years for men and for women, using it for fitness and rehabilitation. And you do it on a mat or on something called the Reformer. So what is this lying down exercise all about?
If you'd said to the big sports shoe companies in the 1960s that their shoes would achieve sub-cultural cool and become style icons, they'd have said you were crazy. Do how did these shoes specifically designed for athletic performance became objects of desire, off the sports field?

CHICAGO — The roof of a historic North Side theater undergoing demolition collapsed unexpectedly Monday, temporarily posing a potential threat to trains passing on nearby elevated tracks, authorities said.
No one was injured when the roof capping the 80-foot-tall walls of the Granada Theater at 6427 N. Sheridan Rd., gave way, said Chicago Fire Department Chief Ben Apicella, whose 9th Battalion was called to the scene shortly before 3 p.m.
The demolition crew apparently ``pulled the wrong piece of steel and the whole roof collapsed,`` Apicella said.
``The walls pushed outward causing a dangerous condition to the CTA trains passing by.``
The theater, built in 1923, is about 50 feet from tracks along the CTA`s Howard rail line at Devon Avenue, according to Apicella.
The Evanston Express, which operates on an outer track closest to the building, was switched to an inner track, preventing delays, a CTA spokesman said.

The Federal Government is to secure a $200 million (about N32 billion) loan from Germany.
The German Minister for Economic Planning and Development, Gerd Mueller and other top German officials and businessmen are in talks with the Federal Government on the facility, as well as other areas of investment and cooperation with Nigeria.
Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, who hosted the delegation, which also included the German Ambassador to Nigeria, Janetzke Wenzel, in Abuja, said Germany has a strong development bank, adding that Germany was fascinated by how the country built such a successful institution.
She said the quest to replicate such an institution in Nigeria that would cut interest rate to boost investment and ensure the growth of the real sector inspired the Federal Government to seek the establishment of a development finance institution.
The minister hinted that the Federal Government was seeking the loan at concessionary rate. Although information on the proposed loan was sketchy, Mrs Okonjo-Iweala had earlier met with Mueller, Wenzel and other officials and businessmen to discuss areas of economic cooperation between both countries.
Mrs Okonjo-Iweala urged German investors to cash in on the great potential available in various sectors of the economy, including power, creative industry, agriculture and infrastructure.
She noted, for instance, that the nation’s creative industry, particularly Nollywood, creates over 200,000 jobs yearly, urging German
Sources close to the meeting said Mrs Okonjo-Iweala is billed vist Germany soon for further discussions.
The Federal Government last year unveiled plans to set up a development finance institution to provide long-term, low interest finance to the real sector as part of efforts to grow the economy.

§ Mr. Ashton
asked the Secretary of State for Trade whether, in the light of the 118 job losses at the Stockport Advertiser group of newspapers, he will give the detailed financial grounds for his decision to approve the reorganisation of its publications; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. Sally Oppenheim
My right hon. Friend gave his consent on 2 July to the transfer of eight newspapers owned by Lancashire and Cheshire Newspapers Ltd. and Swain & Company Ltd. The transfers involved a reorganisation whereby the eight separately owned newspapers would be replaced by four publications under common ownership.
Section 58(3)(b) of the Fair Trading Act 1973 requires the Secretary of State to grant his consent to the transfer of a newspaper, unconditionally and without a reference to the Monopolies and Mergers Commission, if he is satisfied that the newspaper concerned is not economic as a going concern and as a separate newspaper, and if he is further satisfied that the newspaper is not to continue as a separate newspaper. My right hon. Friend was satisfied on the basis of detailed information supplied by the applicants that these criteria applied in seven out of the eight newspapers involved.
In the case of the remaining newspaper, The Salford City Reporter, the criteria of Section 58(3)(b) did not apply; but it seemed to my right hon. Friend reasonable to grant his consent under Section 58(4) of the Act, which permits a transfer without a reference to the commission where a newspaper has an average daily circulation of not more than 25,000.

Shaun has been performing since a very early age; he has always been a performer, doing Elvis impressions for his family when he was just 4 years old.
However performing art’s took a backseat for a period, as Shaun is also a devoted sportsman, mainly focusing on rugby.
Then he entered a TV talent show called Britain’s Got Talent…
In his first audition he got a standing ovation from the crowd, with his rendition of the Bill Withers classic “Ain’t No Sunshine”, leaving Amanda Holden all of a flutter, and Simon Cowell praised him; “You are like Mick Hucknall – but good looking”.
In the semi final he delivered a brilliant performance of U2’s “With or Without You”, again getting praise from all three judges and sealing his place in the final, along with Diversity and Susan Boyle. Shaun returned to his first audition song “Ain’t No Sunshine” in the final 10, again receiving brilliant comments, Simon Cowell saying he “gave the performance of his life”
Since leaving the competition Shaun has travelled the country with the Britain’s Got Talent tour performing at major venues such as Wembley Arena. “I can’t believe this! A couple of months I would have been happy to sing on my school stage in front of 200 people, now I’m singing in front thousands at venue’s I never dreamed of playing!” says Shaun.
Just days after the tour finished Shaun was asked to perform in front of Prince Charles at Clarence House for the Prince’s Trust alongside Julian Smith, another Britain’s Got Talent finalist. Also Shaun has enjoyed performing in front of a 25 thousand strong crowd at Wigan’s DW Stadium and thousands more at Butlins, Dartford Festival and at shopping centres country wide.
Currently Shaun is working hard on his own material, looking to play blue eyed soul similar to acts like Maroon 5, and moving towards a more acoustic set. “I am having the time of my life; I just don’t want it to end! I love this job!”

Carbon isotopes come in three forms, the most common isotope of carbon is carbon-12 (12C), which contains six neutrons in addition to its six protons. The next heaviest carbon isotope, carbon-13 (13C), has seven neutrons. Both 12C and 13C are called stable carbon isotopes since they do not decay into other forms or elements over time. The rare carbon-14 (14C) isotope contains eight neutrons in its nucleus. Unlike 12C and 13C, this isotope is unstable, and radioactive. Over time, a 14C atom will decay into a stable product. Stable carbon isotopes are considered to be one of the most important isotopes in petroleum geochemistry as the combination of 12C and 13C can often be used to identify oil sources, genetic origin of natural gases and hydrocarbon thermal maturity.

A documentary focusing on sexual misconduct in the music industry will no longer air on Apple TV+, as Oprah, who brought the project to the streaming TV service, has stepped away from it.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Oprah today said that she will no longer be an executive producer on the project and it will not be offered on Apple TV+. Oprah believes there's more work to be done on the film and that it's not ready to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival that the filmmakers want to debut it at. From a statement Oprah gave to The Hollywood Reporter:
I have decided that I will no longer be executive producer on The Untitled Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering Documentary and it will not air on Apple TV+.
First and foremost, I want it to be known that I unequivocally believe and support the women. Their stories deserve to be told and heard. In my opinion, there is more work to be done on the film to illuminate the full scope of what the victims endured, and it has become clear that the filmmakers and I are not aligned in that creative vision.
Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering are talented filmmakers. I have great respect for their mission but given the filmmakers' desire to premiere the film at the Sundance Film Festival before I believe it is complete, I feel it's best to step aside. I will be working with Time's Up to support the victims and those impacted by abuse and sexual harassment.
News of Oprah and Apple's interest in the documentary came in early December after Oprah signed on to executive produce the film. The documentary explores alleged sexual misconduct in the music industry, following a former music executive who struggles with whether or not to go public with her story of assault and abuse by well-known music industry titan Russell Simmons.
The documentary was created by Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering, who have previously worked on several other documentaries, including "The Hunting Ground," exposing sexual assault on college campuses and "The Bleeding Edge," an exposé on the medical device industry.

And you’ll deserve it! After all, you should have known he was a rapist. Oprah, you should be ashamed of yourself!
And if you’re not, no problem. Because we’ll shame you.
Oh, I’m sure Oprah was very much aware of Harvey‘s reputation. If you think she wasn’t aware of that history spanning some, oh, 20 years plus, I have a bridge to sell you.
She knowingly and happily hung out with a rapist and abuser. Not my concern, you understand, but I will forever enjoy photos like this demonstrating the hypocrisy of Hollywood.

Tollywood played host to a lot of newcomers this year. While some made an impact, others are still waiting in the wings to be noticed. Here’s our list of the most promising newcomers
Havish, who hails from Vijayawada, shot into the limelight with Ravi Babu’s Nuvvila. His curly hair, baritone and antics were an instant hit with the audience. It’s probably the first time that a hero had more scenes with a homosexual than a heroine and Havish was fantastic in the film. Soon after the film released, he signed up to play the lead role in Omkar’s upcoming film Genius. Chinni Krishna has written the story and Havish is now sporting a bald look to play the role of an orthodox Brahmin in the film.
Nithya Menen’s debut film Ala Modalaindi was the first surprise hit of the year and it didn’t take too long for people to start comparing Nithya Menen with Soundarya. So impressive was her performance in the film that the state government ended up giving her a Nandi Award for Best Actress and within a couple of weeks of the film’s release, Nithya became the talk of the town. However, the road hasn’t been a bed of roses for this extremely talented actress from Kerala. Soon after she turned down an offer to star opposite Venkatesh, the actress landed in another controversy when she said that she didn’t know who Prabhas was. Post the release of 180 and Sega, she concentrated mostly on Malayalam films. In 2012, she’ll be seen in Ishq where she is paired opposite Nithin and she will also start shooting for Nara Rohit’s next.
When you have the genes of stalwarts like Kamal Haasan and Sarika; can sing like a dream, compose music and look gorgeous, there’s no way you can be ignored in the Telugu film industry. Shruti Haasan made her debut in Anaganaga O Dheerudu opposite Siddharth earlier this year. Although the film didn’t do well at the box-office, it didn’t deter filmmakers from signing her. Soon after her debut, she was approached for Siddharth’s O My Friend, Pawan Kalyan’s Gabbar Singh and 3 opposite Dhanush. Shruti was supposed to do Dammu with Tarak; however, she opted out of the film citing date issues. She also made her debut this year as an actor in Tamil films with A Murugadoss’ 7th Sense, which was a big hit. This is just the beginning for the actor and we wonder what is in store for her in 2012.
Amala Paul’s introduction to Tollywood happened through a dubbed film titled Prema Khaidi. Directed by Prabhu Solomon, the film received a decent response at the box-office. Later she made her debut with Bezawada opposite Naga Chaitanya. This 20-year-old from Cochin, has been approached to play an important role in Srikanth Addala’s upcoming multi-starrer, Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu and she’s also playing the lead role in Siddharth’s bilingual film titled Love Failure. A promising actor who has already bagged a slew of big films in Tamil, she is being touted as the next big thing in Tamil cinema.
Ajmal could have become a doctor but the acting bug bit him back in 2005 and it took almost six years before the Telugu film industry took notice of this talented actor from Kerala. In KV Anand’s Rangam, Ajmal played the role of Vasanth, an honest political leader who ends up becoming the chief minister of the state. So convincing was he in the role that he got plenty of offers in Telugu films that were on similar lines. He’s currently acting in Ram Charan–Tamannaah starrer Rachcha, where he’s playing a villain.

People are NOT happy with Katy Perry. Albeit, for a different reason.
American singer Katy Perry drew flak after she uploaded a photo of Goddess Kali on her Instagram page and captioned it, "Current Mood".
The post has got over 250,000 likes and 11,000 comments, a lot of them unsavory sermons from Indians, who reckon that the significance of goddess Kali (regarded as a divine protector by Hindus) is lost on her.
One commenter wrote: "Please Katy!" One fan wrote, "I don't understand, what's in there to be offended".
A third said: "Are you serious?" "You don't have permission to upload a picture of our goddess on this f-king social media and embarrassing our culture".
Although, to be fair, the 32-year-old DID marry Russell Brand in a lavish Hindu ceremony in India back in 2010 - so it's not like she doesn't know anything about Hinduism. It took place in the north Indian state of Rajasthan.
Most recently, the Santa Barbara-born star has opened up about her struggle with religion following her devout Christian upbringing that saw her attend Church three times a week with her family.
She told Marie Claire in an interview in 2013: 'I'm not Buddhist, I'm not Hindu, I'm not Christian, but I still feel like I have a deep connection with God.
On the other hand, there were a few users who supported the singer and said that there is nothing offensive about her post. "You don't celebrate Halloween; Jesus gives you your Christmas presents; we watch Bill O'Reilly on TV".

YES, PRIME MINISTER
Written by Antony Jay & Jonathan Lynn
Directed by David Gribble
KADS next season will be the UK comedy 'Yes, Prime Minister'.
Director David Gribble will be holding a warm-read audition to cast five roles on Saturday 18 July at 2.00 pm at KADS Theatre, 6 Central Mall, Kalamunda:
Sir Humphrey Appleby: Male, 50's-60's - Cabinet Secretary. This is a major role with a large number of lines and several extended monologues. Humphrey is very much the intelligently droll, sarcastic upperclass British bureaucrat. As this play is based on the very well known TV show of the same name, the actor playing Sir Humphrey will need to bear some resemblance to the TV character and be able to sustain a convincing upperclass British accent.
Bernard Woolley: Male, 30's-50's - Permanent Private Secretary to the PM. This is a major role with a large number of lines. Bernard is the intelligent, witty but somewhat hapless PR head. As this play is based on the very well known TV show of the same name, the actor playing Bernard will need to bear some resemblance to the TV character and be able to sustain a convincing British accent.
Kumranistan Ambassador: Male 30's-50's - Significant role with quite a bit of dialogue, the Ambassador from an oil rich country in the Middle East is central to the story. Requires a Middle Eastern or perhaps East European accent.
Jeremy Burnham: Male, 50's-60's - Director General of the BBC. Smaller role, has a meeting with the PM. Requires a convincing upperclass British accent.
Simone Chester: Female, 20's-30's - BBC Presenter. Smaller role, interviews the PM. Requires a convincing upperclass British accent.
Please note: The roles of PM Jim Hacker and Policy Advisor Claire Sutton have already been cast.
This is a funny play based on the hugely popular British TV comedy of the late 1980's. The series revolves around PM Jim Hacker's attempts to enact political change whilst ensuring his continued popularity with voters, while his Public Service staff headed by Sir Humphrey Appleby deliberately try to undermine him in order to maintain the status quo. Full of clever dialogue, moral dilemmas and political backflips, the stage play is a new scenario by the original screen writers and very much in the style of the TV show.
The season runs Wed, Fri, Sat and Sun from 18 Nov - 12 Dec 2020 (15 performances over 4 weeks) and rehearsals will commence in late July on days negotiated with the actors.
If you'd like to attend the audition, please complete the form below and David will send you a script excerpt:
Thanks for your interest. We'll be in touch!

ObjectivesYouth unemployment is a multi-sectoral issue comprising education, economy, social protection and labour. Given this condition, the project focuses on and intends to share information, best practices as well as data on progress with the overall goal of improving labour market outcomes of youth, through:
- Sharing of information, best practices and data per ASEAN Member States (AMS) which include employment policies to address youth unemployment, educational policies to promote relevance of higher education and vocational trainings to the changing labour market demands, and policies to promote competitiveness of local SMEs and preparedness for Industry 4.0;
- Exchanging views on the potential impacts of the AEC and Industry 4.0 to employment trends and readiness of ASEAN Member States in responding to the skills demands in future;
- Recommending possible inter-sectoral and multi-stakeholder interventions or action points that would address identified gaps and would further improve youth labour market outcomes in the ASEAN; Thereby
- Gathering of evidence on what works on youth employment to foster strategic planning processes on sustaining and/or improving policies and interventions pertaining to industrial growth, youth labour market, TVET and higher education at the national and regional level.
Addressing youth unemployment issues is a major concern for many countries. To start with, unemployment of any kind is a drag on an economy and society. Not only does it undercut productivity, spending and investments stunting economic growth, it also contributes to inequality and social tension . The ASEAN Declaration on Culture of Prevention for a Peaceful, Inclusive, Resilient, Healthy and Harmonious Society adopted at the 31st ASEAN Summit in November 2017 in Manila, the Philippines, recognises youth unemployment as one of socio-economic problems that could manisfest into a potential disrupter of peace and security in society. The Declaration therefore calls for a transformation from a reactive to preventive approach in addressing those socio-economic problems, including youth unemployment.
Youth joblessness and inactivity have the consequence of not being able to tap into the economic aspirations and resources of young people who are the most vibrant and to whom which lie the future of any economy. Low- income youth cannot afford to be economically idle, which is why they work in informal conditions and as unpaid labour , resulting to millions of young people living in poverty. Initial low-paying jobs and delayed entry into the workforce cause limitation for the youth in terms of lifetime earning potential, employment, career growth, and skill development.
The currently declining youth unemployment in ASEAN may be at risk of going into reverse in future as fourth industrial revolution is emerging globally. There is limited analysis on fourth industrial revolution phenomenon and its projected impact to labour market and employment trends in Southeast Asia in future. Meanwhile, a study by the International Labour Organization (ILO) and Asian Development Bank (ADB) projected structural change as a result of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) is likely to increase the demand for a mix of managerial, technical and core employability skills.
ASEAN Member States have already been moving towards more skill-intensive production and exports, reflecting higher labour productivity. But the pattern of change varies considerably across the region. The demand for high-skill employment in Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, the Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam, which represent 80 percent of the region’s workforce, could grow by 41 percent or 14 million workers. This would allow low- and middle-income ASEAN Member States to move up the productivity and skills ladder so as to be competitive and not rely on a low-skill workforce to drive exports and growth. But this process will not happen automatically.
Realizing these opportunities presented by the AEC and also the potential impact of fourth industrial revolution to the region requires strengthening education and vocational training systems and ensuring that the most vulnerable have the qualifications and competencies needed to compete for those jobs. ASEAN’s move towards higher value-added industries calls for excellence in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). In this respect, some countries are still lagging. Middle- and high-income ASEAN economies are also facing challenges related to the mismatch between tertiary education and the needs of employers.
The share of tertiary graduates with a diploma in STEM remains low overall and is significantly lower for women. Therefore, according to the study of ILO and ADB, more than half of all high-skill employment in Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, the Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam could be filled by workers with insufficient qualifications by 2025. Middle- and high-income ASEAN Member States such as Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand are targeting high-skill manufacturing (such as automotive parts and electronics) as well as knowledge-based services (including information technology and financial services). This necessitates investing in workforce qualifications in STEM.

Look for a quiet weather day across KELOLAND with mild temperatures covering much of the region.
However, big changes are on the way for Friday and again early next week as heavy rain and some snow is likely again in western South Dakota.
On Wednesday, high temperatures will range from the upper 70s in the southeast to the lower 60s in Rapid City. Breezy south winds are also expected across much of the southeast including Sioux Falls.
The weather forecast will start mild on Thursday, but a developing storm system across Colorado will impact parts of the area by Thursday night. Chances of thunderstorms will ramp up across southwest and south central South Dakota by evening, with a risk of severe weather from Rapid City to Pierre and points south Thursday night.
After this line of thunderstorms moves through, areas of rain will be likely in western South Dakota on Friday. This is where we expect the heaviest amounts will fall, with perhaps well over an inch in the northern Black Hills into northwestern South Dakota. Sioux Falls and Aberdeen will also have chances of rain on Friday, but the activity is expected to remain more scattered. Strong winds will also accompany this low pressure center as it quickly pulls away into North Dakota Friday afternoon. This will set the stage for a cooler weekend with highs in the upper 50s to low 60s, which is more typical for this time of year.
Chances of rain will increase again by Sunday in western South Dakota, with rain over spreading much of the region by Monday. We are concerned about chances of snow also in the Rapid City and Black Hills region by Monday.
The European model suggests several inches of snow again in the northern Black Hills. Temperatures will likely be much cooler Monday and Tuesday as a result of the clouds and precipitation.

The father of missing chef Claudia Lawrence today backed a campaign calling for more rights for families left in limbo by a disappearance.
Peter Lawrence, 63, said families had no simple way to deal with unresolved practical issues such as property, bank accounts and insurance because it was impossible to prove whether a missing person was dead or alive.
Mr Lawrence, whose daughter went missing from York in March last year, added it was "absolutely necessary" for families to be given more support as he backed the Missing Rights campaign to give families the same rights as victims of crime.
"One of the things I have found over the past 21 months Claudia's been missing is that nobody has any rights," he said.
"It's impossible to deal on a legal basis with the property, or even day-to-day matters like the tax or insurance, if somebody is missing."
Missing People, the charity behind the campaign, called for a "presumption of death" act to be introduced in England and Wales, for banks to introduce standard mortgage arrangements for families of missing people and for insurance companies to freeze or take over a missing relative's policy payments.
Mr Lawrence, from Slingsby, North Yorkshire, added that, as a solicitor, he was lucky in many ways as he knew who to contact and where to find help.
"But not everybody is in that position," he said.
"And it's not the best of times to have to think about it."
He was joined by missing Manic Street Preachers guitarist Richard
Edwards's sister Rachel Elias, who called for an "overall change in culture" to ensure missing people and their families were properly supported.
"More needs to be done," she said.
Martin Houghton-Brown, chief executive of Missing People, added: "If your house is burgled you are automatically offered emotional, practical and legal support.
"If your child goes missing you may get nothing.
"Families affected face injustice such as being forced into otherwise avoidable debt, homes being seized, jobs being lost and having to cope
with social stigma.
"This can lead in some cases to family breakdown, depression and suicidal thoughts. The current economic climate will exacerbate these issues."
There were over 330,000 incidents of people going missing last year, the charity said.
It called for a missing persons co-ordinator in each region who would hold local services to account, a named single point of contact in the police for someone dealing with their case and for all unidentified bodies to be checked against missing person reports.
More support for families was also needed, the charity said as it called for a network of specially trained counsellors to be developed to support their needs.
