Antiques, and memories, burn in two-alarm house blaze

Find out why, when firefighters thought they were gaining control of this Brentwood-Darlington house fire, it kept flaring up again and again …

SE Flavel Drive quickly lights up with PF&R rigs, as a large house – crammed to overflowing with furnishings – explodes in flames.

Story and photos by David F. Ashton
Before the first fire crew arrived, Brentwood-Darlington homeowner Phyllis Palmer was standing in the driveway of the house she’s owned for five decades, looking shocked and puzzled as she watched her home erupt into flames. It was about 11:00 p.m., on June 14.

Just as Portland Fire & Rescue (PF&R) Engine 25 and Truck 25 rolled up from their Woodstock firehouse, to the big 3,024-square-foot home at 5644 SE Flavel Drive, a fireball exploded from the back of the house, lighting up the night sky.

PF&R Engine 25 firefighters enter the home, from which is belching thick dark smoke.

With firefighters on the roof, about to begin their vertical ventilation, flames erupt from the house.

“I was sleeping in the front room, in my sleeping chair, with my two dogs,” Palmer told reporters at the scene. “I heard the sound glass breaking, like somebody was breaking in the window. I was afraid it was a burglary.”

She walked back to the kitchen to investigate, gun in hand. “Just then, the whole window exploded and a giant fireball went clear up to the ceiling. I grabbed my purse and puppies, and took off out of the front door.”

Fire crews move back on the roof, as flames leap into the night sky.

Her back to the camera, the homeowner watches, as the fire flares up for the second time.

Firefighters first entered the burning home through the front door as fire was coming out of the side of the home and starting to spread to the second floor.

The Incident Commander immediately called for a “second alarm”; every few minutes, another fire rig pulled up to the scene, including an engine company from Clackamas Fire District 1. Some of crews fought the fire; others protected a house situated on a “flag lot” behind the blazing home.

“The fire eventually made its way into the attic, which makes it extremely difficult to extinguish,” said PF&R spokesman Ron Rouse. “Fire crews initially made an interior attack, but had to fight the fire from the outside, due to the large amount of furnishings inside.”

With many streams of water pouring on and into the house, it looks as if the fire is under control – until it erupts in flames for the third time.

Having laddered up to the second-story dormer windows, a firefighter looks into the roiling flames inside the burning house.

Neighbors speculated that the layout of the house also may have made navigating with no visibility difficult, because it had been expanded and remodeled since it was built 83 years ago.

“I’ve been told the house was filled with antiques, and a lot of other stuff,” said a neighbor who wished not to be identified. “For a while, a few years ago, it became known in the neighborhood as ‘the house with the perpetual yard sale’. But then, I think it was vacant for a while.”

After another fire knock-down, the fire comes to life for the fourth time.

On four occasions, firefighters knocked down the flames that leapt from the back, eves, and eventually the roof of the house, only to see them flare up again. Flames were clearly visible through the front door; and yellow-orange fire roiled inside the second floor dormer windows.

Finally, a giant fireball belched upward from the center of the house when the roof collapsed.

Firefighters worked throughout the night, quenching flare-ups and dousing hot spots.

The fire’s damage is evident, the morning following the fire.

The next day, the extent of the damage to Palmer’s home and contents was clearly evident. Her Toyota, now parked in her driveway, looked to be filled with flea-market merchandise.

During the fire, she told reporters that she didn’t have insurance. “Everything I own is gone, except my two puppies.”

The cause of the fire remains under investigation; no damage estimate has been released as of this writing.

PBT status:
the substance is not PBT / vPvB

The substance is considered as neither readily nor inherently biodegradable in standard tests for biodegradability. Furthermore, abiotic degradation by hydrolysis is excluded estimated to be negligible degradation pathway due to the chemical structure and functional groups presents.

Thus, the substance should be considered as persistent.

Many substances with a molecular mass greater than 700 are not readily taken up by fish, because of possible steric hindrance at passage of gill membranes or cell membranes of respiratory organs. The substance has a negative log Kow and can be described by a molecular weight of 858 g/mol, thus it is unlikely to be characterized by a bioaccumulative potential.

Adequate chronic toxicity data are not available, therefore the aquatic toxicity assessment and classification are based mainly on the short-term toxicity data available. Direct and indirect exposure is unlikely due to the risk management measures that will be applied at industrial level and discussed in details within the exposure scenario to avoid any release of the substance directly in the municipal waste water treatment.

The substance is not classified as carcinogenic, germ cell mutagenic, or toxic for reproduction and it does not show evidence of chronic toxicity.

Although the information are not sufficient to reach a definitive conclusion on T-criterion, the substance is reasonable expected to be non-toxic.

Faction Identity: Villain Command

Today on echobase we are continuing our new series of articles that will focus on individual faction identities. We will be taking a look at the strengths and weaknesses of each faction and go over a few of the best characters, upgrades, supports and events exclusively available to each of them.

Note: This is based around standard play, not infinite.

Note: VC – Villain Command

Master Strategist – Grand Admiral Thrawn

The identity of Villain Command is focused around a few attributes. From a character perspective we have a plethora of non-unique troopers and a great selection of unique Leaders. What a Villain Command event suite offers that no other faction can, is the ability to get into the hand to control the opponents ability to play cards. Supports come in the shape of iconic star fighters along with powerful ground assault reinforcements.

A selection of Command Leaders

Interestingly we have 9 leaders that can act as a facilitator and support character in your squad build that come in at 13pts or less elite. I’m using facilitator as my key word here because many of the characters share a similar design space and similarity in resource, focus and discard sides. Not many characters carry a double discard side outside of VC, never underestimate the power of resolve that double discard. Captain Phasma – Ruthless Tactician stands out among these low cost leaders solely for her focus on delivering damage with her dice compared to the die sides on the other leaders. This version of Phasma represents excellent value in an aggro build for her points cost.

The design space on Grand Admiral Thrawn really does capture the essence of VC with his power action. The control aspect paired with events such as Face The Enemy, Probe and Counterintelligence is completely unrivaled in Destiny. With these combos you’re going to be able to have the advantage due to the hand knowledge and stay one step ahead of your opponent. Thrawn isn’t for everyone – only an experienced and great Destiny player will be able to make Thrawn work. *Tip’s hat to Zhil for beating me in the final of a 46 player regional with Thrawn*

Continuing with leaders, we migrate to the 15+pt characters that encompass aggression. Iden Versio‘s passive ability again issues control in the way that it curtails any additional actions by your opponent. Kallus is just 66% ‘get wrecked’ damage sides, and then we have Captain Phasma – Stormtrooper Commander who just looks to swamp the board state to shoot and destroy. The aforementioned characters also all have the sub-type Trooper.

9 non uniques

The Best Defense and Measure For Measure targets. The non-uniques within the faction. There are actually 9 non-unique characters, which is the highest number within any of the factions. Quite a few of the characters above represent great value and feature in high tier lists. The Mudtrooper had good success in a build with Mandalorian Super Commando/Snoke, The Imperial Death Trooper causes havoc paired with Trandoshan Hunters, and of course FOST (First Order Stormtrooper) has been around since the game’s inception and has found its way into many top builds.

In summary, just like the leaders we are spoilt for choice.

Command upgrades

Not too many upgrade options for our characters in VC. We have a few unique blasters but none are worthy of writing home about. Director continues the theme with ‘leader only’ character, as mentioned before; there are just so many Leader targets to play this upgrade on. The value to roll a die back in is great, as you’re probably resolving that leader‘s die for cash or focus. Mastermind hits the hand and Grand Moff, albeit at a pretty steep cost packs a powerful power action.

A selection of the best supports in the game are all in villain Command

Contrary to the upgrades package we have a great selection in the support department. This falls under what I recognize as the main identity of the faction: Supports.

I have selected a few images of the supports above; let me remind you of the other great supports that are missing from the image: Umbaran Hover Tank, Planetary Bombardment, The”Duchess”, Separatist Embargo & Climate Disruption Array.

The Megablaster Troopers, with its ability to continue theme in spotting a leader to roll an additional die, offers incredible value for a 4 drop. The TIE Fighters are able to tutor themselves, and the Superlaser Seige Cannon can be charged up to one-shot a character.

Hand knowledge

You can’t put a price on hand knowledge. Literally. The events cost 0. If you’re running command Red you are absolutely including 2 out of the 3 above events. There’s a slight argument to run all 3 but I think that’s overkill. Be careful with Face The Enemy as it now finds itself on the restricted list, so be mindful when constructing your deck. The only other event that gets into an opponent’s hand outside of VC is Hero Rogue’s Scruffy Looking Nurf Herder. Do not underestimate hand knowledge as this allows you to play around your opponents mitigation and/or allow you to disrupt their game plan. These cards are among the strongest events ever printed.

Unique mitigation comes from The Best Defense… and A Sinister Peace, Both of which see high play and are often considered auto-includes. Execute Order 66 obviously works better with the plot Order 66, as that plot is Villain Force we will pass over it for now. There are a few tricks available for surprise damage in the form of Scorched Earth (good tech against Palpatine) and Pulverize. Tactical Mastery is a classic, it has never been out of rotation due to the reprint in the 2 player set and I think we’ve all had a great ‘Tac Mac‘ moment.

Blockade Is an interesting plot. It fits perfectly with the control aspect of VC in an attempt to choke and control the opponent. Unfortunately it’s so easy to make money in the current meta that this will forever be resigned to the folder. Construct the Death Star is a plot that incites a different win condition. Reaching that win condition seems to be too slow of a feat to actually achieve in competitive standard. Talking of competitive play – The new Demolition droid plot is currently making a splash in the current meta in an Aphra/Sentinel Messenger/Battle Droid build. If you haven’t yet tested this, I’d recommend giving it a try as that indirect damage really does add up. Really cool design space and unlike some of the other cards in Transformations, it feels balanced and it plays fair.

To summarize, below are our picks to make the VC podium;

Tough call between Probe and Counterintelligence, but Probe takes it for now as CI could be a dead card if you find yourself without a leader. Comparatively Probe is always online.

In keeping with the previous article on Hero Blue, I present here my underappreciated Villain Command podium:

echo7 – my underappreciated podium – 1. Imperial Officer, 2. Inferno Squad ID10 Seeker Droid, 3. First Strike

I like First Strike as a tech card if you’re looking for that 30th card in a deck. It’s a bit of a meta call, but with so many large damage sides floating around, it’s a great piece of surprise damage if you’re playing a deck that’s flush with resources, or especially late game if your opponent holds the battlefield and rolls out first.

The Inferno Squad ID10 Seeker Droid is one of my favourite upgrades in the game. For just 1 resource, not only does it have no blanks, it has no bad sides. I especially like this card in an Aphra build, as you can conceivably play it for free, or in a Grievous supports deck; yet I don’t see it appearing in decklists (though Nick Cuenca of the Hyperloops did utilise it in his Top16 Nova deck last year). Being unique, you’ll probably only ever run one copy.

Top of my underappreciated list is Imperial Officer. Those die sides look sub-par for a two drop, but they’re not terrible. Where this card shines is it’s a leader, so keeps online Counterintelligence plus the third Megablaster Troopers die. It also auto-focuses any trooper die on activation, so works with Mega, Vader’s First or of course a trooper character on your team, and that’s what puts it above curve for me.

Everyone’s Rooting For Cinder-Block, An Obese Cat Who Dislikes Her Workout

A large cat named Cinder-block has achieved online fame after a video of her voicing her displeasure at a mandated workout on a partially underwater treadmill has gone viral.

In the video (above), a man’s voice can be heard asking, “Are you working out?” as the gray feline, with only one paw on the treadmill, meows.

But though Cinder-block may come off as a bit grumpy in the clip, veterinarian Brita Kiffney told HuffPost she’s typically a mellow sweetheart.

“Extremely affectionate, she purrs whenever you talk to her, she’s very sweet,” said Kiffney, the medical director of Northshore Veterinary Hospital in Bellingham, Washington. The practice posted the video on Oct. 19 on Facebook, where it garnered tens of thousands of reactions and comments.

Cinder-block being held by veterinarian Brita Kiffney.

The cat’s name was previously just Cinder, but “we added ‘block’ because she’s fat,” said Kiffney. She clarified that the cat’s moniker is spelled with a hyphen and that she often is still simply referred to as Cinder.

Her former owner relinquished her to the vet after the cat’s health and hygiene issues ― largely caused by her obesity ― became too much to handle.

“I don’t want to shame the previous owner in any way,” said Kiffney, who added that the person was under a lot of stress caring for an ill family member and that the situation became “unmanageable.”

A portrait of Cinder-block.

The plan is ultimately for the veterinary hospital’s receptionist to adopt Cinder-block. But for now, Kiffney is caring for the cat and handling her strict weight loss regimen. Cinder-block, who weighed 22 pounds when she was relinquished but should eventually get down to about 12 pounds, is suffering from joint problems and is at risk for issues like diabetes and pancreatitis.

“Because she’s so heavy, she can’t walk more than a couple steps right now,” said Kiffney.

Cinder-block in repose.

Her joint issues, as well as her mellow demeanor, are what made Cinder-block seem like a good candidate for the underwater treadmill. The idea is that “the water will support her weight while she moves” and allow her to exercise without putting pressure on her joints.

Kiffney acknowledged that in the viral video, the water is too low to really be supporting Cinder-block; the plan is to raise the water gradually so that she becomes used to it. The veterinarian also said that she’s ordered Cinder-block a special harness for the workouts that should be more comfortable and supportive than the one she’s wearing in the clip.

While it’s important for cats to be at a healthy weight, Kiffney noted that it’s equally important that cats lose weight gradually, since cutting a cat’s food too drastically can lead to fatty liver disease and liver failure. She recommends that anyone whose cat needs to lose weight work with a vet to create a health plan.

Kiffney holding up Cinder-Block

Cinder-block’s newfound fame may also end up helping other pets in her community. Kiffney said that any of the proceeds that come in from licensing out the viral video will be put into a fund for local people who are having trouble paying their vet bills.

In the meantime, Cinder-block has lots of people rooting for her, with many new fans finding her general attitude towards working out pretty relatable.

You’ve got this, Cinder-block!

Blowup, solitary waves and scattering for the fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation

Himmelsbach, Dominik. Blowup, solitary waves and scattering for the fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation. 2017, Doctoral Thesis, University of Basel, Faculty of Science.

Official URL: http://edoc.unibas.ch/diss/DissB_12432

Downloads: Statistics Overview

In this thesis we are concerned with the rigorous analysis for an evolution problem arising in mathematical physics: the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with power-type nonlinearity involving the fractional Laplace operator (fractional NLS). We are particularly interested in the long-time dynamics of this nonlocal equation, and study three basic problems of fundamental importance.
First, we shall deduce sufficient criteria for blowup of radial solutions of the focusing problem in the mass-supercritical and mass-critical cases. The conditions are given in terms of inequalities between a combination of the (kinetic) energy and mass of the initial datum, and that of the ground state for the corresponding elliptic equation. Using a new method to deal with the nonlocality of the fractional Laplacian, a localized virial argument enables us to conclude blowup in finite and infinite time, respectively.
Second, we consider a special class of nondispersive solutions of the focusing fractional NLS: the traveling solitary waves. Introducing an appropriate variational problem, we establish the existence of their stationary profiles (boosted ground states). In order to deal with the lack of compactness, we use the technique of compactness modulo translations adapted to the fractional Sobolev spaces. In the case of algebraic (even integer-order) nonlinearities, we derive symmetries of boosted ground states with respect to the boost direction, relying on symmetric decreasing rearrangements in Fourier space. Moreover, we show a non-optimal spatial decay of these profiles at infinity.
Third and finally, we concentrate on the asymptotics of global solutions of the defocusing problem. To have a full range of Strichartz estimates available, we restrict to the radially symmetric case. We construct the wave operator on the radial subclass of the energy space, and show asymptotic completeness. Thus we infer that any radial solution scatters to a linear solution in infinite time. Similarly to the blowup theory, this is done in the spirit of monotonicity formulae: taking a suitable virial weight and using the favourable sign of the defocusing nonlinearity, we develop a lower bound for the Morawetz action. The resulting decay estimates permit us to build a satisfactory scattering theory in the radial case.

Ten minutes of high-intensity activity can have a real effect on learning, a new study suggests. Photo / 123R

Short bursts of intensive exercise can boosts kids’ brain power – and has benefits for children with learning difficulties or conditions such as autism, a new Kiwi study suggests.

Although previous research has shown long, sustained workouts lasting about 30-40 minutes improve memory and learning in adults and children, a new study from the University of Auckland has found potential benefits of shorter sessions.

The study, just published in open-access, peer-review journal eLife, investigated
the effect of short bursts of high-intensity training (HIT) for 10 minutes each day on children aged 7-13.

A team led by Dr David Moreau, of the university’s School of Psychology, established baseline data by testing the 305 participants on six tasks involving memory, information processing and behaviour before commencing the study.

They then randomly assigned participants to either a placebo group involving activities such as games and quizzes, or to an HIT group that involved an intense 10-minute workout every weekday over a six-week period.

Participants in the HIT group showed larger improvements in tasks involving memory and information processing and behaviour, including the ability to focus on a task to completion without getting distracted.

The latter has been shown to be a key indicator of professional and academic success in adults.

“These findings reinforce previous research which has found exercise is one of the most effective non-invasive ways to improve memory and cognitive understanding,” Moreau said.

“The significance of the study is that it shows exercise does not have to be time-consuming and that a range of children, some with learning difficulties, get real benefits from short periods of fairly intensive physical activity.”

Forced Labour

"Many workers are threatened with termination if they refuse overtime."

The ILO estimates that 24.9 million people are forced to work under the threat of coercion worldwide. Almost one of every four victims of forced labour are migrant workers, and 15% work in manufacturing.

In the electronics industry, migrant workers are particularly at risk of forced labour as highlighted in Verité’s seminal study on forced labour in the production of electronics goods in Malaysia. It found nearly one-third of migrant workers in situations of forced labour. US Department of Labor notes reason for concern of forced labour in electronics production in both China and Malaysia, and deeper in the supply chains, in the extraction of tin, tungsten (wolframite), and gold in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Electronics Watch monitoring reports highlight risk of forced labour in the electronics industry in China, Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia. Risks are often associated with migrant workers who may incur large debts in their pursuit of employment and may face debt bondage. They can be deprived of passports and work documents or held in a place of employment against their will.  However, other workers face other forms of coercion, including student workers forced to "intern" (read, "do regular work for less pay") in a factory in order to obtain an educational diploma.

The best Side of VPN

Those who particularly stay in China, Europe, USA, Center East and Africa will understand what VPN in fact is. For those who still do not know anything concerning VPN modern technology despite of it being just one of the fastest growing innovation and companies on Web. Let me offer you a extremely quick description of VPN right here.

Digital Private Network (VPN) is a innovation which encrypts your internet data/traffic promptly after it leaves your computer system to your requested location and also provides you total personal privacy and also anonymity on the web. Your entire internet website traffic goes through your VPN company’s Web servers and also gateways thus offering the real netizen total safety and security as well as anonymity on the internet. Moreover, if you have a VPN link that gives you with web servers and also portals in numerous countries, you can also access geo-restricted web sites through it. Like people in various parts of the world gain access to Hulu, BBC iPlayer and different other geo limited websites.

Currently, when we recognize what VPN is, the important point to make a decision in the following phase is where to buy it from. There are about 200 signed up as well as non listed VPN Service Providers in the sector, thus enhancing the possibility of getting scammed is very high. On top of that, there are various other factors besides the authenticity of the VPN connection to consider prior to purchasing a particular VPN connection

Few of one of the most essential variables consist of, the network infrastructure as well as stamina of a certain VPN Company i.e. whether the infrastructure is stable and huge sufficient to support your internet requires or otherwise. 2nd most important factor is the variety of servers and also procedures that the VPN service provider supplies. Third, how are the Client Assistance Solutions of VPN carriers? Lastly, a few of the examinations like Download and install examinations, Streaming Examinations, Security Tests as well as most importantly Rate Examinations.

That uses all this thorough info? Undoubtedly you will certainly not get it on any one of the VPN Services web site. Additionally, if it is a scam web site or a scam VPN connection, you will undoubtedly get all high flying numbers. It is undoubtedly extremely tough to trust any kind of service, when you are buying it for the first time. Now, below comes the duty of a VPN Evaluation site, which provides you with the detailed info on a particular VPN Connection Carrier, provides you with Content Reviews, Speed tests, Download tests, Security records as well as most important VPN Evaluations of clients, that have in fact attempted and tested it.

Shutter Island (2010) – 10th Anniversary Re:View

Courtesy of Paramount Pictures

Rating: 3 out of 5.

The best plot twists are more than just a moment of revelation on ones expectations. The best twists audiences remember for the questions they raise about the films themes and ideas. Think of how “The Truman Show”‘s twist explains the world Truman has existed, and why the audience has experienced Trumans life this way. It is a twist that raises awareness, rather than a haughty moment of self-indulgence. Through its technical brilliance and great scenes, “Shutter Island” has the latter of these kind of twists.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Scorsese, and his crew throw everything at the wall in “Shutter Island”. The film is aggressive and intrusive, overwhelming the ears and eyes with its sharp, blaring soundtrack and DiCaprio’s dialed to eleven performance. The twists, while subversive, were on some levels to be expected.

As Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) approaches Shutter Island, an insane asylum where a woman has allegedly escaped captivity, the film establishes itself as a harsh piece of belligerence from the start. The boat looms out of the fog, with Robbie Robertsons sharp soundtrack piercing through the screen. The film is very visual.

Each scene features performances, camerawork, and tension that are nerve-shredding and frightening. A scene where Daniels approaches a prisoner lit by match has dual pressure, as Daniels hears him speak through bars. The subject matter is deeply disturbing, and in many ways the twists that the film offers are equally unsettling.

But where the film fails is as a piece of literature. Scorsese has done the filmmaking, but hasn’t written anything worthwhile that challenges us to think. There is still much left to explore, even if the film leaves itself feeling well resolved.

The film is comparable to David Fincher’s 2007 film “Zodiac”. Yes, the films share Mark Ruffalo and follow an investigator going down a rabbit hole while questioning his own sanity. But also, they have a similar tone, with Fincher’s meticulous aggression also seeping through every crack of his film. However, in “Zodiac,” there are knots tying the themes of the story together. “Shutter Island” does not have these knots.

Maybe the film should have gone to boy scouts first. But in seriousness, Scorsese’s film was technical, serviceable, and as a Hitchcockian suspense thriller, it succeeds, although the statement it makes may not be entirely present. In the following decade, both Scorsese and DiCaprio improved themselves significantly, either together (“The Wolf of Wall Street”) or separately (“The Irishman”, “Inception”).

Google yourself: An experiment in self-promotion…

I recently attended a training and info session how Web 2.0 tools can help raise one’s online profile.  It was a great session on raising awareness of how I, a noob of a PhD, can (and should) use the web for shameless self-promotion. Now I’m aware that the internet is a powerful engine for connecting people, networking, collaboration etc. etc. etc. but then actually applying my taken-for-granted knowledge to myself is, for me, a whole new experience. Sure, if I want to find out about anything I go to the web.  Google whatever key word I think of and ta-da I hopefully get what I’m looking for. So the first question the trainer asked us to do is to actually Google yourself.

I repeat:  GOOGLE yourself.

It sounds like the ultimate narcissistic task – I mean who really Googles themselves?  Well…I did, and this is what I get on Thursday the 24th March, 2011.

It was a strange feeling of relief and disappointment to read the results.  On one hand, there weren’t any dodgy photos or questionable material associated with my name yet at the same time, there was nothing other than my Twitter account.

I realise that I’m at an advantage in this respect because there aren’t many people in the world with my name.  And if there are, they aren’t coming up on a Google search.

This made me wonder about my own web presence and my career prospects.  If a prospective employer or new contact were to Google me, what would they get?  Since at the moment no one finds out much, then they would have to find alternative ways to find out more about me and my research.  And how can I use the power of the internet to my advantage in order to advertise my research area?

The training session gave me a lot to think about and so I decided to see what would happen in 3 months time if I increased my web presence by:

– Creating a website

– Maintaining this blog (weekly, with good intentions)

– Sorting out my Twitter account

– Adding a link to each of the previous three websites to the other websites that I’m signed into

I’m wondering if I set up my area of Web 2.0 will my Google hits change? I’ll see in three months time!

“I may destroy You” – the breath of fresh air we needed

I recently finished watching I May Destroy You on HBO Max and all I can say is WOW. Michaela Coel is a genius for this show and for so many reasons. I had to make a post dedicated to this masterpiece, especially since my viewing of the finale coincides with my latest YouTube episode about rape (in Wolof; link below for your convenience). Let me start off by saying that I May Destroy You is about so much more than rape. Ugh let’s just get into it.

The show tackles consent in many ways. There are multiple relationships that we can use as examples in dissecting this concept. If we take the relationship of the protagonist Arabella and her Italian beau, Biagio, we see their first sexual encounter rely heavily on their mutual consent. Arabella is on her period and after she expresses it, Biagio lets her know that he doesn’t mind (expressing consent for having period sex). When they actually attempt it, Biagio asks Arabella if it’s okay if he removes her tampon for her. It may seem like a trivial example but it’s important to call out. Consent matters in every situation between two people!

Let’s take another example between Kwame, Arabella and Terry’s best friend, who is sexually assaulted AFTER a consensual sexual encounter with a dating app hookup. Kwame gives consent one time and then doesn’t give consent for a second time with this pompous man who neglects his denial and assaults him anyway. Consent is a one-time-use ticket and thus, is required for every act!

We also have the scene where Arabella’s best friend, Terry, has a night out in Italy during a creative writing trip to inspire Aabella’s writing. While out, Terry meets two strangers and takes them home for a threesome. When all is said and done and they’re leaving, Terry sees them walking side by side, headed in the same direction, and talking it up … as if it wasn’t the first time they met…or did something like this. This strips all notions of enjoyment/liberation from Terry as she realizes she’s been duped. She’s been roped into this situation under false pretenses and that negates any consent she gave. Blurred lines some say.

One last relationship I’d like to highlight is the infamous condom removal scene between Arabella and her fellow writer, Zain. During an otherwise consensual sexual encounter, Zain removes the condom he had on, without Arabella’s … you guessed it, consent (this is known as stealthing in the UK, btw). She did not know he removed the condom until after the encounter and it completely traumatized Arabella (and me to be honest) because that’s quite frankly considered rape. Even in the middle of consensual sexual interactions, any and all new acts require consent.

I read into things a lot and noticed consent even in non-sexual situations. When Arabella stops smoking and drinking to help her cope with her sexual assault, a simple question asking her if she’d like a smoke or a drink is important instead of just assuming she’d like it. Overall, the show tackles consent in a very dynamic way, leading us to think deep. The show has soooo many examples, at every corner of every episode. I will just urge you all to watch the entire series. No excuses.

“Your birth is my birth. Your death is my death.” This is the ride-or-die motto of protagonist Arabella and Terry. Throughout the season, we see their friendship in many lights. From the highs, figuratively and literally, of walking the streets of Italy and enjoying a day of promenade to the intense encounter where Arabella confronts Terry about giving their friend Simon the green light to leave Arabella alone the night she was raped. The complicity of their relationship can also be seen in the flashbacks of the younger Arabella and Terry in high school. When a black male student was accused by a white female student of rape (which was a whole tangent all on its own), Arabella and Terry were the ones who hyped each other up, to the point where Arabella denounced the girl. They have always stood side-by-side, no matter the situation and that’s quite admirable.

Another friendship dynamic that I found interesting was that of Arabella and Simon, her male friend that convinced her to come out when she had a draft for her book due the next day. Simon is married and Arabella knows his wife. Nonetheless, Arabella “covers” for Simon when she meets his mistress (who, by the way, showed up earlier as a stranger to Simon, under the guise as someone Simon’s wife found for them to have a threesome with. Simon already knew her… just watch the show! It’s THAT good). Anyways, back on topic. So Arabella turns a blind eye to Simon’s secret affair and while I don’t condone that, I find that noble that they have a close enough relationship to withstand the trials and tribulations of life. So much so that even though Simon was the one who left Arabella alone on the night she was raped, she reconciled with him in Episode 10, letting bygones by bygones. That takes strength.

Dealing with Sexual Assault

When I first heard about the show, I thought Arabella would be a total hot mess after being raped. And don’t get me wrong, she was (is) distraught and definitely had her fair share of meltdowns. The back-and-forth trips to the police station, her staggered memory of the events that night, her blowup towards Kwame at a paint-and-sip event her therapy sessions that sometimes were, and sometimes weren’t helpful to her recovery. But one thing the show did an incredible job with was showing us how Arabella “moved on” after the assault. She wasn’t confined to her room, wallowing in depression, rejecting the whole world. Instead, we see how this assault impacts her life in other ways. Her demeanor changes frequently. At some point, she works at a vegan charity where I personally saw she was quickly spiraling. She was doing it for the money but then she started to gain publicity as the black girl of this vegan brand who spoke her mind about sexual abuse. She sort of runs with this social media newfound attention, causing her to neglect her needs in dealing with the societal pressures and expectations around her.

Arabella continues for the next year without telling her family about the assault, something that is almost out-of-sight, out-of-mind for the viewer because we don’t meet her family until Episode 10. She finally reveals the truth to her mother after walking out of the dinner conversation as her dad tells the story of being robbed back in the day (during this flashblack, we learn it was Arabella that snuck in through the window earlier and left it open) and then returns to the table with her mother as if nothing had happened. Her life after the assault is a pendulum of event after event, testing her and pushing her to finally confront her aggressor when her memory of the assault comes back.

Gray Areas

This show is ALL about gray areas. It leaves you thinking “wait, what just happened?” so many times that you have no choice but to be in shock! It’s provocative, it’s intense, it’s messy, it’s blurred, and it’s raw. Michaela does not hold back; we’re forced to confront the ugly nature of sex, consent, and assault in 12 intoxicating episodes. Each episode paints a vibrant picture. Each episode reels us in and forces us to rethink our own lives as these scenarios are all too familiar… all too real.

The concept of gray areas seem straightforward. The opposite of black and white, right? Well, yes and yes. I May Destroy You presents a well thought-out, carefully crafted, and stark representation of the reality of sexual assault and consent. It’s complex, compelling, and nuanced. All I can say is WOW. Please watch this show. Multiple times. And really think about it. I loved Arabella’s monologue where she talks about predators who operate in this gray area – it perfectly encapsulates this entire show.

Kudos to the entire team and thank you for this masterpiece! #IMDY

The 5 Most Meaningful Benefits of Coaching

two women friends talkingThere are really many different styles of coaching and coaching relationships. Some target specific actions like training for a marathon, writing a book, how to develop your business, and many more wonderful topics that cover the human experience. The kind of coaching that I’m talking about has to do with realizing your potential no matter what it is you are addressing.

Here are what I consider to be the most meaningful benefits of the coaching relationship:

This is a very important part of the coaching experience and one that most of my clients relish. You are in a process that takes you out of the day-to-day and into a broader perspective of your life. You get clarity about your vision of life and how you want to feel. You get clear about the things that are in your way, paths you may have not been able to see, and clarity about what are the next steps for you.

As I have a background in both business and psychology, this stage can be some of the most meaningful and life-expanding work you ever do. I guide you through experiences that allow you to discover your own internal navigation system that will guide you straight to your desires. You, yourself, learn how to create clarity in your life no matter what is on your plate.

Most people come to me not only with discouragement and challenges but also drained of any vigor or vitality… they’ve lost their mojo and believe whole-heartedly that life is just too tough. That is where a wonderful conversation on energy comes in… and it’s mind-blowing! Modern neurobiology has some great new insights and proven techniques to manage your energy efficiently and effectively. As one of my mentors says, “Ellie, you don’t have energy, you generate energy!” What you’ll discover are ways for YOU to generate and be in good energy. This is a key step, and benefit, to being successful in your life.

I bet you didn’t think courage would be one of the topics. Well it is and here is why. Along this glorious path called Life, you get conditioned and you may have some nasty experiences. There is a lot I could say about that but for today I am mentioning the tough stuff because you may have developed some negative habits and self-talk along the way and it takes a lot of courage to face your dark side, to take a bold leap, and overcome your negative habits. But as your Coach, I am there with you all the way with tips and tricks to help you manage the process and empower you to take some risks. Opening the door to courage is a very freeing experience and one that most of my clients will agree is the scariest step but took them to the most fulfilling places.

Old school, this is where you would learn and focus on productivity. Nothing wrong with being productive but it’s limiting to the experience and not as inspirational. I like to coach on abundance because you not only get to focus on developing a set of habits that will make your day more fun and efficient, you also focus on the actual experience. This is a healthier way to create a meaningful life. There are a lot of mindset tools I have to help you discover those habits so you can live and move with more power and momentum.

Sounds good, right?! It is good! In this day and age of multi-tasking and distractions, the unfortunate result has not only been mediocre results but decreased creativity and burnout. You do NOT want to experience burnout. Most people think they can get over it in a weekend, or week off. Nope. Trust me, it’s months before most people who have reached burnout can recover mentally, physically and emotionally. Learning the mindset for abundance is much easier and often surprisingly empowering.

When we are clear about our desires and the kind of life we would really love to experience, we then have to consider how to communicate that vision to those around us whether to family, friends, colleagues, communities, bosses or clients. The ability to influence people is a key characteristic of success, and I mean the fulfilling kind of success where we influence with connection, compassion and intention. Knowing how to influence is an empowering exploration and experience. Imagine being looked at as a role-model at work, home, school or community. Imagine creating relationships and teams to help you manifest your vision. When you become a person of influence, people, resources and experiences begin to come to you 🙂

Clarity, energy, courage, abundance and influence are, to me, some of the most beneficial states to cultivate if you want to have a meaningful and fulfilling life. Wouldn’t you say that would be true for you too?

If this resonates with you then let’s get started moving you past those blocks and empowering you to be feeling on top of your game! You can click here to book a Breakthrough Session with me and discover how you can start feeling clarity, alignment and relief right now!

It’s Time to Talk – There’s light at the end of the tunnel

Screen Shot 2016-04-11 at 20.10.06.png

I put this photograph of myself on Instagram three weeks ago, after I had a panic attack in the gym but managed to stay to finish my workout. If you’ve followed my blog for a while, you may have seen posts I’ve written about my mental health before. I was going to film this as a video, but I don’t think I’m quite strong enough to talk about it on camera yet.

I’m intent on getting people to talk about mental health as there is still such a stigma surrounding the topic that simply shouldn’t be there in 2016.  I think it’s awful how I still get people judging me or jumping to conclusions about things I do because they don’t understand that I have to do it to get through the day. Being told “just get over it” is the most infuriating thing when it’s not something I can just “get over”. Trust me.

You’ve probably realised my blogging and videos haven’t been very constant for the past half a year or so. Unless you are close family or friends, you are probably unaware that I started getting treatment for my Panic and Anxiety Disorder again recently. I was last seen by a mental health team in 2012 and was discharged just before my 18th birthday. I’ve gone over 3 years without psychiatric care and I’ve felt okay most of the time.

In October last year I was referred to Time to Talk by my doctor, as they were worried about my low mood and anxiety getting worse again. They wanted to get me help before I got to the same horrible point I was at when I was 15.

I’m writing about this again because I believe it is SO important to talk about mental health. When you’re depressed and anxious like I have been, you can be in a room full of people but still feel so lonely. You struggle getting out of bed because it doesn’t feel like anything is worth the effort. Every day you just can’t wait to go back to sleep because when you’re asleep you don’t have to feel anxious anymore, but you’re so anxious you can’t actually get to sleep until the early hours of the morning.

The only reason I’ve managed to get through it is I have an extremely supportive family, fiancé, and best friends. I always have someone to talk to and a shoulder to cry on. As I said, it is so important to talk about mental health. It makes you feel like you’re not so alone anymore.

Getting the conversation started can be hard. Although I’ve suffered from anxiety disorder for 6 years now, it was still hard to tell my family and Dean that I felt depressed and more anxious again. I was walking my goldie, Ollie, with my Mum when I suddenly burst in to tears along the beach and told her how low I was feeling. But it’s such a huge relief when you do talk about it, especially when it’s a regular conversation in your household like it is in mine. Even just a cuppa and a chat or a text to see how you are, it all lets you know you are loved, supported, and looked after. It makes you feel safe.

So if you know someone who may have mental health problems, don’t just leave them to it. If they don’t seem like they feel like talking the chances are they probably don’t want to make the first move, as having a mental health problem can be so embarrassing and make you feel so ashamed. This is why we need to talk about it more; it’ll lift the stigma and embarrassment of sufferers. It’ll make it normality.

I decided to write this blog today as I had a session of CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) this afternoon, and for the first time in over half a year I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. I’m finally starting to see progress. I now keep thinking “I won’t feel like this forever” rather than “this is how I’ll feel for the rest of my life”. It’ll never totally go away and I’ll always need to look after my mental health, but for the first time since I was 15 I can see my future without my anxiety disorder. I couldn’t do it without having people to talk about it with, so make sure you get talking.

  1. It’s so important to talk about mental health. I’ve suffered from anxiety and panic attacks for a long time. I used to be embarrassed to talk about it but for me it makes my anxiety so much better to talk about it. This is a wonderful post.

  1. Hello, I would have a small request, for management reasons, I disabled automatic library scans and I wondered if it would be possible to add a contextual entry to the Emby icon located in the notification area to " scan all libraries now ". It would be really great to be able to do a right click to perform this operation than having to do the long way of the web page ... Thank you for your consideration of our suggestions.
  2. Hi folks --> is there a quick way to refresh/scan the library? Basically, 1) add a file to the library; 2) refresh library. This seems like such a basic thing I must be missing something haha? (I see the refresh job and it's set to 12 hours, which is fine - I'm just curious if there's a manual way quicker than digging through the settings menu).

    Emby shortcut does not appear

    Hello to everybody I am new in the forum. I have just installed the emby app via usb and it works perfectly. However, I can't create the app shortcut. I go into the apps menu, I create it, but then it does not appear. My TV is a Samsung 50RU7105. Thanks a lot.
  4. Hi all, Just a quick question I am using Emby for WMC (always just like the look of it) on Win 10, and recently had to repair my OS.One of the pecularities of my hardware setup is that I have a TV tuner card, which I only use the IR receiver for to switch the HTPC on/off and navigate as a MCE Remote, I have setup the remote to toggle the desktop (minimising WMC) and then closing it, before sending a shutdown command. However, in the OS rebuild and all apps, I now have Emby for WMC responding to my * cmd to (mapped to shutdown WMC) as this is a remote key shortcut on the homescreen for the context menu. I cannot remember how I reassigned this key in Emby for WMC, any ideas? I need the * cmd for my shutdown and simply want to reassign the "context menu" remote key to something different like a 'Y" - something I don't use. Is this possible, maybe by editing an xml file? Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions

    Shortcut/Icon Behavior Issues

    Hello! I originally experienced this only on one computer but in the recent weeks it's happening on all of them (all Windows 10, latest & updated.) I have Emby Theater pinned to the taskbar. When I click this icon, it doesn't load. When I click it again it loads. Right around the same time Emby Theater also started forgetting my hardware acceleration settings/theme settings on machines randomly. Is anyone else having these issues?
  6. I have just installed Server version 3.1.2 via the web-installer. I note that the install has not created any shortcuts - desktop, startmenu etc, nor has it created a Program Folder on the Start menu All Programs list. I also can not locate the installation folder to allow me to create a shortcut - once the installation Server instance has closed I am not able to restart the Server (eg HTPC reboot) So, where is the server installed? A search for MediaBrowser.ServerApplication finds nothing. Searching for Emby finds nothing except Emby for WMC. Any help would be appreciated.
  7. This has been around forever but never got around to reporting it. If you move or delete the Start Menu shortcuts for EMBY and then later try to uninstall Emby, the uninstall process fails. If I recreate the folder and link structure the uninstall process works as expected. I move my program shortcuts into "usage type" of folders for organization in my Start Menu so I have Emby under a folder named Media so that's why they were missing. Thanks!

    Shortcut for TV Shows weird behavior

    Hi, I'm running Kodi 15.1 on Windows 7 with Emby 1.1.39 addon installed. I've been using this for a while now and have a basic setup for my homescreen shortcuts where one is pointed to my movies directory and one is pointed to the tv shows directly. I like the shortcuts to go directly to my list of shows/movies so I have it pointed to Addon\Program\Emby\TV Shows\TV Shows. This has worked great for months now, but a couple days ago I began experiencing behavior where clicking the tv shows shortcut would pull up the list of shows as usual, but when I hit enter on any of them, nothing happens. Normally this would bring up the seasons listing and I could select an episode to play, but now it just does nothing. I played around with the shortcuts and found that if I create a shortcut to the base level of TV shows (i.e. Addon\Program\Emby\TV Shows) the shortcut works and if I select TV shows from that menu, the same list of shows appears but now I can select them and see seasons and episodes and play them. I created 2 shortcuts, one for Addon\Program\Emby\TV Shows and one for Addon\Program\Emby\TV Shows\TV Shows and ran a log (attached). The shortcut to Addon\Program\Emby\TV Shows is at 12:10:40 and you can see the log getting the directories for a couple of specific tv show titles and then me backing out of the menu at 12:10:54. The shortcut to Addon\Program\Emby\TV Shows\TV Shows is at 12:11:01 and you can see that each time I tried to select a show I got a NOTICE: Thread BackgroundLoader start, auto delete: false -> DEBUG: Thread BackgroundLoader 7120 terminating. Any ideas of what might have caused this change in behavior. I have not changed skins or Kodi versions since this behavior began so I'm at a loss. I can use the workaround by going to the base folder, but that isn't nearly as clean an experience as being able to jump right into the shows list. Thank you! (let me know if any more information is needed) Kodi Log.txt
  9. Hello all; I've been using MediaBrowser for a few years now, and am REALLY digging v3. Up until 2 days ago, I had several collections working, and I make frequent use of them, so I'd like to try to get them up-and running once again. I have one PC set up that acts as my media server (Media Browser Server Version 3.0.5154.1864). Sometimes I watch/listen to content on that same machine (MBC/MBT), and other times I use one of my Android devices to consume content. Regardless of which client I use however, my box sets/collections (while they still show up) are now appearing empty... despite the fact that I have made no changes to the folder structure/shortcuts used within them etc. None of my Media Libraries use the Default Library (which is not defined), but all of my user accounts have their own Media Libraries defined. Each of them has a "Box Sets" library defined (of type "Collections"). The one for "Whip" is defined with the location of "E:\Media\Video\Box Sets". I've recently added a path substitution as well: E:\MEDIA \\\E$\MEDIA I found another similar topic in this forum: http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/4628-one-boxset-not-showing-all-of-a-sudden/ and have tried the fix there, however that does not seem to be the fix I needed. I'm guessing that this would make the box set show up, and not its contents. I should point out however, that none of my boxsets do have that collection.xml (with the exception of the one that I created to test the other OP's resolution). Since creating that XML file, I have shut down the server, deleted my "library.db" file, and restarted the server. I also want to point out, that all of my collections are made up of shortcuts (*.lnk) that point to content that is indeed properly being recognized by Media Browser in my Movies section. Box Sets In Windows Explorer http://snag.gy/KFCyb.jpg Box Sets in Library Explorer --> Please note that all of the paths listed here under Linked Children's paths show double backslashes (is this just to escape the character?) http://snag.gy/I9U1Z.jpg I have not provided any log files just yet, but please do advise if you think they will be helpful, and I will be happy to post them. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. Blue
  10. Hi All; I've been using MB3 for quite some time now, and really like how it's been maturing. When I first started using it though, I was able to share music between the various users defined on my server simply by creating a shortcut that points to an artist's folder that's defined as a subfolder of another user's library. This doesn't seem to be working any longer. Did I miss the changelog for one of the updates that explained why this should no longer be working? If so, can you please point me to the details of it. Is this a bug that's been introduced in one of the updates? If so, then I'm more than happy to help test resolutions for this. Please advise
  11. Is there a Media Center remote control non-programmed button(s) to return you to the Enhanced Home Screen of most themes? The keyboard equivalent is Ctrl+h. Thanks, Tanamur
  12. Wanted to know if it could be added to both MBC and MBT to be able to quickly bring up the profile menu via Shortcut key (this could be mapped to a harmony remote). This would save time instead of having to navigate to the icon. Like for instance in ROC theme the only way i found to get to the profile icon is to open up the config. Other themes have it directly on the EHS which can make it easier but having a shortcut key would make it possible to switch profile from anywhere in MBC or MBT at a click of a button. Also a key that we can modify ourselves and not hard-coded. Maybe add it to the General settings section of MBC or make it something we can set via the server and maybe on a per client base (cuz sometimes a map key can work well with one remote in a certain room but not so well in another room that has a different model remote).

Lullaby Hour in Neonatal Units

I have the great pleasure to announce that twice a month I will be visiting two hospitals in London offering #lullabyhour for the babies and mothers in the Imperial Neonatal units. Bonding, tears, a bit of relaxing ….Exploring and pioneering in a very new way…❤ Music Therapy is so important for everyone, and even the tiniest of babies respond to it. The amazing charity behind this is Music in Hospitals & Care and there are also many people behind scenes who have made it happen. I feel very privileged to be chosen to be a part of something so special and personal.

Here’s a photo of a lovely mother and baby I sang to yesterday. It was pretty amazing to see how cathartic the music was for them both. I was blown away by the staff at the two hospitals, the care and kindness shown towards these poorly and tiny little babies and their Mummy’s and Daddy’s was so moving. I can’t wait to go back again in two weeks time to meet more wonderful parents and their babies. Their strength is inspiring.

The Feeling

On Tuesday I had the great pleasure of supporting The Feeling at The O2 Academy in Bristol! It was by far one of my favourite gigs, incredible crowd! It was lovely to see my friend Kevin Jeremiah doing his thing on stage. We have been collaborating on some new music coming out on my “Atoms” EP next year! Here are some photos of the night. ❤

To My Roots Spring Tour Video!!

Thank you so much to everyone who came along. I had such a fabulous time on stage performing to you and then meeting you all afterwards was the cherry on the cake!! I can’t wait to get back out on the road again soon, but until then I’ll be in the studio finishing up my new music!!

Three New Video Series!

Happy New Year, Lovely People!!

I’ve had a busy couple of months! I’ve been working on expanding my YouTube Channel to share with you some my favourite cooking recipes (To my Roots Kitchen), show you some tips and tricks on how to play my songs (Uke Can Do It) and of course, I’m inviting you into the studio to see “The Making of To My Roots”! Head over to and don’t forget to hit subscribe! I hope you enjoy. Much Love xx

Gambling Tips in Las Vegas

Gambling Tips in Las Vegas

* Try to spend some time learning about the games you intend to play. If you are willing to blow a $1000, wouldn’t it be a decent idea to spend $10 on a book to learn the basic rules and strategy? Your money is valuable.

* There is a different angle to every game in the casino. Keep this in mind even for slot machines, a few little tips can go a long way toward helping you hold on to your money longer.

* If you play games of skill such as Blackjack or Video Poker, try to learn at least a basic form of strategy for your game. Just practice before you get there. It can make all the difference between having money to gamble all vacation or busting out on your first night. Remember, you are there just for fun, not for losing you all money.

* You can purchase simple strategy cards at most casino gift shops. Get one of them. For a more extensive selection, check out Shop LVA or Gambler’s General Store. Don’t feel intimidated about using them at the tables; most places don’t care, especially at low stakes.

* Games to avoid… Casino War, the Big Six wheel and crazy bets at the Craps table like hard-ways. These bets have a very high house edge and will kill you fast. Why being an easy food?

* Always sign up for the slot club or ask to be “rated” at the tables. The worst thing that can happen is the casinos will give you free stuff. I often receive offers in the mail for cheap or free rooms after playing a little while years ago.

* If possible, consolidate your gambling to just a few casinos. It is better to play $100 at a single casino than to play $20 at 5 casinos. You would also enjoy more their services.
