Heineken® "Cities" Campaign Announces Search for Innovative Projects to Make Great Cities Even Greater

Venerable Brewer Partners With Indiegogo and Facebook, Asking Public to Submit Innovative Projects That Have a Positive and Lasting Impact on Iconic Cities; Expert Panel to Help Select Winning Projects, Which Will Receive $20,000 Cash Prizes, High-Profile Indiegogo Campaigns and More; Heineken to Kick Off Program by Supporting Miami Marine Stadium; Five Additional Projects Will Be Named Winners Throughout 2016

WHITE PLAINS, NY--(Marketwired - May 24, 2016) -  Heineken, the beer that's enjoyed in the most cities around the world, has helped build support for innovative urban projects through its "Cities" campaign, which aims to make great cities even greater. Now, Heineken is asking the public to submit their own creative projects that would make a positive and lasting impact on iconic U.S. cities -- awarding each winning project with a $20,000 prize and a high-profile crowdfunding campaign to help make them a reality.

Heineken's Cities campaign previously supported James Murphy's Subway Symphony in New York, which aims to replace harsh subway turnstile sounds with melodic sounds, and Leo Villareal's The Bay Lights, which features thousands of LED lights illuminating the Bay Bridge in San Francisco. Now, Heineken has partnered with Indiegogo and Facebook and is asking the public to submit ideas that can span art, music, architecture and more -- anything that can make a major impact on culture or the overall enjoyment of some of the best cities in America.

From May 23 to June 30, the public can submit short videos about their projects on Facebook at Submissions will focus on five cities -- New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston and Honolulu -- and will be reviewed by Heineken's expert panel, which includes leaders from across the country with expertise in design, architecture, the arts and urban culture. Panelists include:

  • Stephanie Meeks, president and CEO, National Trust for Historic Preservation
  • Marcus Samuelsson, award-winning New York City chef and author
  • Dan Brunn, award-winning architect and owner of Dan Brunn Architecture in Los Angeles
  • Kóan Jeff Baysa, Honolulu-based curator, designer, physician, and co-founder of the Honolulu Biennial Foundation

"The Heineken Cities campaign has been making great cities even greater for several years now, and we're excited to expand our mission by inviting the public to submit their own great ideas," said Ralph Rijks, senior vice president of marketing, Heineken USA. "We're looking forward to seeing the innovative projects -- and we're even more excited to help make them a reality."

Once the winning projects are selected, Heineken will award $20,000 in direct support to each winner and will work with Indiegogo to create and promote crowdfunding campaigns, engaging passionate urban explorers across the country to help make the winning ideas a reality. Along the way, Heineken and its partners will also feature promotions, incentives and flash goals that further inspire fans to donate.

"Indiegogo helps projects come to life every day, and we're excited to partner with Heineken to identify and elevate visionary ideas before a national audience in an entirely new way," said David Mandelbrot, CEO, Indiegogo. Heineken is the latest company to take part in Indiegogo's recently launched Enterprise Crowdfunding program.

Miami Marine Stadium Kicks Off Campaign:

To launch the campaign and to provide insight into the types of projects that the Cities campaign will support, Heineken has partnered with the National Trust for Historic Preservation to build support for restoring the world-famous Miami Marine Stadium. Once serving as an iconic hub for major concerts and other prominent arts and cultural events, the Miami Marine Stadium has gone dormant for years. Heineken will help raise awareness and funding for the revitalization effort by providing direct support, launching an Indiegogo campaign this summer and working with the Trust, the City of Miami and other key partners to support the restoration of Miami Marine Stadium and, in turn, celebrating its important place in Miami's past, present and future.

"Miami Marine Stadium is such a perfect starting point for this year's Cities campaign, and we're looking forward to turning this cultural landmark into a place where Miamians can celebrate the best the city has to offer," Rijks said. "We also hope that this great project helps inspire people elsewhere to submit their great ideas for improving their cities -- whether that means reimagining something that already exists, like Miami Marine Stadium, or creating something altogether new."

In addition to soliciting nominations and creating crowdfunding campaigns, Heineken will share the story of the Cities campaign via Facebook content, exclusive videos, social giveaways and more throughout 2016.

Mark and David’s Atlantic to the Med bike trek 2017
Total 650k

Narbonne Beach

Challenge completed!
We reached the Mediterranean sea this morning so our 2017 challenge is over. Needless to say, it really was a challenge, determination, grit and a sense of humour were definitely compulsory! Even during the night when, after we had washed our clothes and it started to rain we laughed, even when we awoke to find ourselves once again with a flat tyre we laughed, even with a mistral blowing us to the coast and knowing that on the way back it was going to be hell cycling back to camp , and it was, we laughed! Maybe we are just mad but what the hell it was brilliant and my cycling buddy David was quite simply a star and honestly I wouldn't have finished without him!
To all those wonderful people that pledged money for the dog rescue, a massive thank you! I will of course be in touch with you personally with details about how you can pay or transfer your pledge. Once again thank you.

Mark and David’s Atlantic to the Med bike trek 2017

Dear family and friends,
On Monday the 31st of July we will be undertaking the exciting adventure (some say mad!) of riding our mountain bikes fully loaded with camping gear, pots and pans, clothes, snake repellent etc, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean sea. Our starting point will be the little sea side village of Lacanau Ocean near Bordeaux. We will then follow with a few deviations,(some deliberate some not) the Garonne Canal to Toulouse and then continue down the Canal du Midi to the sea port of Sete, a distance of approximately 600 kilometers! The trip should take us 6 to 7 days so hopefully we should make it back alive and well by Monday the 7th of August.
You can follow our travels via Mark's Facebook page which will be updated every day with photos, videos and posts.
A couple of weeks ago Mark and Michele lost their dear dog, Lady. She lived to a good old age of 15 but had been suffering for some time. It made us think, many dogs are not as fortunate to live such a wonderful life as Lady and so we would like to dedicate this bike trek adventure to her, and hopefully raise some money for our local dog refuge.
All our travel expenses will be covered by ourselves but if you could pledge some cash for the refuge, however small the sum please send Mark an email, a whatsapp, Facebook or text message the amount you would like to pledge. He will of course be in touch with you after the trek.

Many thanks,
Mark and David

On the Power of Story

We are writers because we love story. Stories impact us to the degree where we, for whatever reason, seek to impact others in the same way.

And yet I wonder how much we understand the power of story. I know some people who are not “writer” and yet they seem to understand the power of story more than anyone. Others seek to be “writers” and yet ignore the story happening all around them.

In order to become a great writer, we must understand that great writing is not in how we place words on a page. It is not in structure or formula or word count or voice or tone. All of those things are important and have their place, but what matters is story. We read on for two reasons above all others – we care about the characters and want to know what happens next.

It is interesting when people tell me that they cry during a part of a book I’ve written. While I’m not purporting to be an expert, I know that those rare occasions happen because the reader cared about the character and then what happened to them in the story, the action involved.

If we agree this is the case, that story trumps everything, then we must pay attention to the stories all around us. Ask people questions and then listen. Ask more questions to keep the story going that someone is telling you. This is not easy.

The perfect people to begin with are the young and the old. Don’t believe me? Start talking with a child about their life. Some are more talkative than others, but you’ll find that most or all will tell you everything about their short life as if it is epic. To them, it is.

And that should teach us something about writing.

We don’t listen to the older generation for a myriad of reasons. But ask them questions that lead to a story. How did you meet your wife? Who was the love of your life? What are some of the things you most regret? These are personal stories, but I guarantee you’ll grow closer than you realize with these older people and they will tell you. You will find wisdom and context beyond your realm of knowledge. This, also, should teach us about writing.

And guess what? We make some amazing friends in the process.

I was in line for a concert last night, and I struck up a conversation with a gentleman and his daughter behind me. The connection point was the love of the band we were about to see, but in asking questions, I was able to hear about how he’s lived and grown and gotten to the point in his life now. I won’t write his story as a book, but I did get to a place where I understood a stranger better and that helps me as I tell stories from different points of view.

Stories humanize us. They connect us. They explain things, good or ill, and all of that is why we love them and pay money to read or watch them. If we pay attention to the people all around us every day, we will learn more about how powerful story can be. And then we can tell powerful stories.

The Waiting is OVER!

Author: LadySylvia  //  Category: Geneneral Posts

Finally!  I have my copy of one page from a medieval manuscript containing 2 mead recipes.  The pages are faded and the calligraphy is difficult to read, but they’re all mine!  🙂

Now there are 2 big questions that have emerged:

1.  What is the origin of the manuscript – date, author, etc.?

2.  What is the actual recipe truly asking for?  I have an idea that it may be different from the original redaction that was presented to me some months ago.  Working on my version of the redaction is truly a big undertaking.  The writing part is easy, the follow through by making the recipe – not so much.

Very exciting winter project…

Are Medicare Advantage Plans Supplements?

Are Medicare Advantage Plans Supplements?

This is a question that is asked by majority of the people, especially those who are to choose the right type of Medicare plan to sponsor their healthcare expenses. There are many who mistake Medicare Advantage Plans to be Medicare Supplements.

Know about Supplement plans

Supplement plans are also called Medigap plans and are standard insurance policies meant to fill up the gaps that exist with Medicare Part A & B plans. Part is to provide hospital coverage, while Part B is to cover physician and medical services. The government is known to pay for sixty days of hospital day under Part A Medicare except for some deductible. A small amount of deductible is present for Part B, which then is said to pick around 80% of all approved medical services. Supplement can be found in various designs with majority of them paying up for Part-A deductible and Part B 20% gap.

About Medicare Advantage Plans

Enrolling in one of the Medicare Advantage plans in 2019 you replace Medicare Part A & B. Rather, they tend to replace Medicare with that of private insurance plan. The plans generally offered as PPO or HMO coverage have hospital and doctor network registered to provide services to policy holders against co-payments from insurance provider and members. Only network providers can be accessed with HMO plans except for true medical emergency. Reduced benefits outside of the network are allowed by PPO plans.

Know the difference

When compared to Medicare Advantage Plans, Medicare supplements are found to be more expensive. Most are noticed to fill up completely the gaps present, thus leaving the member with little out of pocket expenses. Lower monthly premium expenses are to be borne on Advantage plans. But more needs to be paid while availing medical services.

By having Medicare Advantage Plans, the person gets covered technically under Part C Medicare, while Part A & B coverage gets deactivated. Medicare card will no more be available to be used for availing Medicare services. Although not active, Part B premium will be deducted from social security check. This payment will be used by the government as part of Advantage plan funding mechanism. As a matter of fact, the government is said to pay more to private insurance plan to cover full financial risk and offer proper healthcare.

Prescription coverage exists within the Advantage Plan package at no additional costs, which again is not covered by Supplements.

1 Corinthians 10:1-13

“God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it.” (v. 13)

Psalm: Psalm 118:1-18

In the first part of this passage, Paul puts effort into establishing that the Corinthians are indeed people of God. He calls upon the example of their "ancestors" (v. 1), using language which highlights the similarities between the world of his hearers and the worlds of the people he is describing. But, having established that the Corinthians are God's people, he warns them that this does not mean that they are immune from temptation or harm. Whilst they may have confidence in God's blessing, it should never be taken for granted; neither should it produce complacency. Receiving God's blessing does not mean that there is no longer any need for hard work: indeed, it is only the beginning.

Paul tells how unfaithfulness led to the people being "struck down in the wilderness" (v. 5), using the story as a warning of the consequences of giving in to temptation. Not only should we continue to be alert and faithful to God and God alone, Paul urges, but also we must not put God to the test. In Paul's understanding of God's nature, God's wrath was something that could be exercised.

Yet, God is a God who can be relied on. We may be tested and tried, but God is faithful and we can trust in God's love. However we may be challenged, Paul has confidence that God will provide the resource we need to get through.

To Ponder

  • What has helped you to get through testing times?
  • What do you rely on when under pressure?
  • Are there times when you feel you have wanted to "put Christ to the test" (v. 9), and how did you handle this?

Anchor Borrowers’ Programme: Bayelsa advises farmers to shun middlemen

The Bayelsa Government has cautioned farmers against the activities of middlemen who extort money from them to enable them to participate in the CBN Anchor Borrowers’ Programme.

Mrs Helen Ajuwa, the Managing Director of Bayelsa Agriculture Development Company (BADC), gave the advice in Yenagoa on Sunday against the allegation that some middlemen were taking advantage of farmers.

Ajuwa said in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that some middlemen were floating fictitious cooperative societies soliciting membership from farmers wishing to get agriculture loan.

She advised farmers to avoid such persons as their actions were fraudulent.

Ajuwa said that the activities of middlemen who extort money from farmers were illegal as no fee was required to access agricultural credit under the programme.

“It has come to our knowledge that the rate at which illegal agricultural cooperatives exhort money from unsuspecting farmers in the state in the guise to help them secure loan is on the increase.

“Based on the state government’s policy for giving agricultural loans, no farmer needs to pay a dime to access any Federal Government loan,” Ajuwa said.

According to her, the state recently keyed into the Anchor Borrowers’ Programme targeted at 2,000 real fish and cassava farmers in the first phase in 2017.

Ajuwa advised farmers to consult BADC before applying for agriculture loans in order not to fall prey to fraudsters who were bent on extorting from them.

She explained that all fish and cassava farmers needed to do to be registered was to provide land for their farms.

According to her, BADC will take off from that point by clearing the land, provide cassava stems, fertilisers, herbicides and little grant for farm management.

Ajuwa said the state government had set up a strategy to ensure that only genuine farmers benefited from the programme through verification.

She said some farmers had complained of cases of fraud, extortion and ghost beneficiaries of loan, hence the advice.

Nearly 200 feared dead in two migrant shipwrecks off coast of Libya

Almost 200 people are feared to have died in two Mediterranean Sea migrant shipwrecks during the weekend, according to reports on Monday.

The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) in Libya said that seven people were rescued off the north-western city of Zawiya, and one of them said 113 others were missing.

The information was posted on Twitter and confirmed by an IOM Spokesman in Rome, Flavio Di Giacomo.

Separately, 80 people died on Saturday after the rubber dinghy they were travelling on overturned, according to the ANSA news agency, which sourced its report from survivors’ accounts to Italian prosecutors.

The sea channel between Italy and Libya is the world’s busiest and most dangerous sea migration route.

More than 6,600 people were rescued there between Friday and Sunday, reports dpa.

On Sunday, the Head of the UN Refugee Agency UNHCR, Filippo Grandi, said more than 1,150 people died or went missing since the start of the year in sea crossings to Europe.

Grandi added that the mortality rate on the Libya-Italy route was one in 35.

He praised efforts by non-governmental organisations (NGOs), noting they had carried out one third of rescue operations since January 1, and renewed calls for EU authorities to open legal migration channels to spare people from dangerous sea journeys.

NGO involvement in sea rescues has become controversial since an Italian prosecutor accused them of acting in cahoots with Libyan people smugglers.

The prosecutor says he has suspicions but no proof; the NGOs have rejected all charges.

Michigan's AmeriCorps Alum Spotlight

MI AmeriCorps Alum Spotlight - February 2018: Alyse Nichols, MSUCAC

For Alyse Nichols, her service as an AmeriCorps member with the MSU College Advising Corps from 2014-2016 helped bring into focus her love for service and trying to right inequities that exist within communities. As a result of her experience, she decided to pursue a Master’s in Public Health degree at Grand Valley State University. Alyse now finds herself often advocating and exploring health issues/solutions that exist within rural settings, much like the area in which she did her service.

The MSU College Advising Corps places recent MSU graduates as AmeriCorps members in high schools throughout the state of Michigan to serve alongside counselors and other college access organizations. These near-peer college advisers assist high school students and their families with college searches, essay writing, SAT/ACT prep, college applications, FAFSA completion, scholarship searches, college visits, and successfully transitioning to post-secondary education.

“My AmeriCorps service truly meant the world to me,” stated Alyse. “It introduced me to other young people around the state who are passionate about education and who, through long trainings and countless college applications, turned into close friends and confidants. It also introduced me to a different way of life. I grew up in Metro Detroit and moving to a rural West Michigan community was a drastic change for me; but I couldn’t have been more happy with my decision. The community really championed me as a person, as well as the work that I did. I often think back to that time and feel so much love for the community and the people there!”

Alyse continues to promote a spirit of service in a variety of ways. “As a former AmeriCorps member, I of course, feel the call to volunteer both my time and money for causes I believe in. However, I think the best example in which I promote the spirit of AmeriCorps is through dealings and interactions with people in my everyday life. My service instilled in me a type of empathy and kindness that comes from working with an underserved population, and in turn has helped me to look at others with a more compassionate lens than I did before.”

Gold Stars for Mickley First School

2nd May 2017

Gold stars for Mickley First School

Mickley First School has achieved gold “Modeshift STARS” accreditation.
Mickley First School has achieved gold “Modeshift STARS” accreditation.
2 May 2017 4:38PM

SCHOOLCHILDREN in Mickley have proved they have the golden touch after receiving a top award.

Mickley First School has achieved gold Modeshift Stars accreditation after displaying its commitment to sustainable travel.

In September the school became the first in Northumberland to earn a Modeshift star silver award.

Modeshift Stars is a national awards scheme established to recognise schools which demonstrate excellence in enabling sustainable and active travel.

Mickley First School works with the county council’s Go Smarter team to encourage pupils to walk, cycle and scoot to school whenever possible.

The gold accreditation came after the school organised more than 30 different initiatives to encourage sustainable travel.

To celebrate the award, staff and pupils came to school wearing wacky and wonderful hats and were treated to a walk down their very own red carpet.

David-Elliot Cooper, from theatre company Histronics, entertained the pupils and staff with Victorian keep fit in the school yard, followed by an assembly which showcased walking through the ages.

Mickley First School teacher and Go Smarter travel champion Lynsey Briddock said: “The Histronics event was enjoyed by all pupils, staff and parents.

“The meet and greet provided an energetic start to the morning and the range of head wear on display added extra excitement.”

This Is The Best Time To Buy A Plane Ticket

But a latest study by Expedia and Airlines Reporting Corporation reveals some new information about travel traits—and tricks we will use to get one of the best deal. The first flight of the day is usually essentially the most punctual one, as your plane is already there waiting for you. However, the lower cost tickets are usually not refundable and will carry many extra restrictions. In a nutshell, sometimes a flight that connects in a metropolis you need to go to is cheaper than flying on to it. So as a substitute, you guide that low cost flight which connects in your required metropolis and hop off there, not taking the continuing connection. Start with our low cost ticket search engine, it searches across dozens of other travel sites and returns the most affordable flights obtainable.plane ticketsplane tickets

During a single week in March, for instance, a recent seek for a round-journey flight between New York and Miami turned up ticket prices as low as $174 and as excessive as $314. The reasons it was launched by IATA were imprecise however concerned the overall introduction of e tickets (electronic tickets)and the airlines incapability to learn PNRs over sixteen sectors. The returning plane takes off at 04:05 from Bangkok and reaches Urumqi at 11:45, with a layover in Kunming for about two hours.

For instance, should you’re flying to New York City, seek for the major airports (JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark), in addition to smaller options (Long Island/Islip and White Plains). Since these tickets aren’t usually commissionable (the travel agent doesn’t get paid a lot to concern them), some agents will play dumb or try to steer you in direction of an alternate type of ticket. I’ve used both options in previous (as well as linking together scheduled airline, a method tickets) and it comes down to how long I’m touring for and how far I’m going off the overwhelmed track.

Begin your search for low-cost airfare and loads of other journey offers at Whether you’re planning a family trip, a romantic weekend getaway, a business journey, or journey to your ultimate dream locale, we have now you lined with affordable domestic and international flights. I get much more inventive with my plans, involving overland trips, return journeys to Seattle, and having a number of tickets open at one time. For the afternoon, head over to one of the distinctive locations in Mexico City: Xochimilco.

When paper tickets had been still often used, a practice existed by travellers to do away with their tickets (which are particular person-particular), after they decided to alter the course of their trips. Air tickets can make for a significant part of the journey expense and getting low-cost flights tickets might imply saving quite a very good sum of cash.plane tickets

Editor's Note: Cool morning, shopping frenzy – time to go back to school

It seems just last week we were planning our schedule of summer activities, and now it’s already done.

Genoa, Indian Creek, Hinckley and Hiawatha schools started last week; Sycamore schools start today. DeKalb students go back to school next week.

In our house, that has meant a flurry of activity – rearranging day care to accommodate just one child instead of two; trying on last spring’s pants only to find they are all too short; realizing (with guilt or glee, depending on whether you’re the parent or the child) that June’s lofty goal of daily reading and worksheet practice was abandoned back in – well, June.

There was the inevitable back-to-school shopping, which hurt our bank account a little less this year than last year, mostly because last year we had the sense to pony up the money for a rugged backpack meant to last. We skipped right past the back-to-school selection with their brightly-colored superhero motifs and picked a neutral-looking bag designed to withstand college-student abuse from the back-to-college department.

My 8-year-old still thinks he should have a new backpack for the new school year – one covered with bizarre spikes, no less – but last year’s bag, bless it, is holding up beautifully.

We also went through the house before going shopping. Scissors? Surely we have an extra pair of scissors. Check. Ditto on markers and highlighters. Pencils? Well, the school supply list calls for 48 pencils. That one had to go on the shopping list.

(Forty-eight seems a bit excessive, I must admit. Do third graders really go through 48 pencils in a year? Erasers, maybe, but pencils, I’m a little skeptical.)

There is also the rearranging of calendars to be done, as swimming lessons drop from twice to once a week and the Cub Scout pack starts meeting again.

The weather has been oddly cooperative; it’s always hard to get into a back-to-school frame of mind when you’re sweating away in shorts and flip-flops. This year’s August has already felt more like September, with misty mornings just right for standing at a bus stop.

As you make your morning commute, please remember to watch out for those buses, and for children running, biking, walking, skateboarding or otherwise traveling to get to and from school.

Fall is on the horizon, so start planning your tailgates and bonfires, and enjoy your MidWeek.

TV column for Sunday, Dec. 10

“Frozen” (2013) and “Encore,” 8 and 10 p.m., ABC.

It's Kristen Bell
night on ABC, while celebrating the art of Broadway-style belting.
First is “Frozen,” a new classic that blends gorgeous animation
and big ballads sung by Bell and Idina Menzel.

Then comes a unique
reality show Bell produced: She assembles people who – 20 years ago
– did “Into the Woods” as their high school musical. Now –
boosted by Broadway directors and coaches – each returns to his or
her original role. These middle-age folks have just two weeks to
recapture their youth.

“Bob's Burgers,” 8:30 to 9:30 p.m., Fox.

For the first time
in its eight-season existence, this animated show has a one-hour

Linda plans a
holiday party at the restaurant, to spread neighborhood cheer. When
her prized ornaments are stolen, she starts questioning the guests.
The kids, however, have an alternate theory: They suspect this was
the work of The Bleaken, who is the anti-Santa.

ALTERNATIVE: Season (or mid-season) finales, cable.

From amour to
zombies, this is a key night. The zombies are on AMC's “Walking
Dead,” which starts rerunning the season at 1:39 p.m.; its
“mid-season finale” is at 9 p.m., repeating at 11:28 (after the
10:28 p.m. “Talking Dead”). Then comes an eight-week break.

The love is on
“Outlander,” at 8 p.m. on Starz. Jamie's nephew Ian is missing
and an old adversary seems to be involved; Jamie and Claire race
through the Jamaican jungles, trying to rescue Ian.

ALTERNATIVE II: Movie adventures, cable.

Back in 1977, two
friends proved that wide-eyed adventures can be brilliantly crafted.
Steven Spielberg gave us “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”;
George Lucas had “Star Wars.” Now the former is at 8 p.m. ET on
Turner Classic Movies; the latter is 1:30 p.m. on TNT, with sequels
at 4:15 and 7:01.

They compete with
two more triumphs: James Cameron's “Terminator 2” (1991) is 8
p.m. ET on BBC America; George Miller's “Mad Max: Beyond
Thunderdome” (1985) is 7 and 9:30 p.m. on Viceland.

Other choices

“Miracle on 34th
Street” (1947), 3 p.m., Sundance, rerunning at 5:15, 7:30 and 9:45
p.m. By

modern standards,
this is slow and stiff. Still, it's a classic, complete with a
9-year-old Natalie Wood.

“You Can't Fight
Christmas,” 7-9 p.m., TV One. Yes, most Christmas movies are kind
of fun. (There are new ones tonight on Ion and on both Hallmark
Channels.) Still, the stars seem to look the same; the plots seem to
feel the same. Here's the exception: The immensely likable Brely
Evans plays a designer, desperate to save a classic, black-owned
hotel. The plot is predictable, but the cast – including Persia
White as a sleek villain – is terrific. There are even some songs,
two of them sung by Evans.

“The Simpsons,”
8 p.m., Fox. Bart is missing and the whole town searches.

“NCIS: Los
Angeles,” 9 p.m., CBS. A skilled assailant is determined to avenge
her father's death by killing a Brazilian diplomat.

“Counterpart,” 9
p.m., Starz. J.K. Simmons has been all over our TV and movie screens,
mainly as villains (including his Oscar-winning “Whiplash” role)
and in quirky insurance commercials. What he rarely gets to be,
though, is the central figure. Now he plays a lowly bureaucrat who
learns what his agency really does. This is an early peek at a series
that starts Jan. 21.

Secretary,” 10 p.m., CBS. Elizabeth isn't really the hostess type,
but she hosts a holiday party in hopes of getting votes for a treaty.
Also, her husband scrambles to prove collusion with the Russians.

TV column for Saturday, Dec. 9

“Mary Poppins” (1964), 8-11 p.m., ABC.

Over the next two
nights, ABC lets families snuggle together for classic movies –
recent (“Frozen” is Sunday) and not. This one is a delight, No. 6
on the American Film Institute's list of best musicals.

Julie Andrews won an
Academy Award, as the magical and strong-willed nanny; Dick Van Dyke
drew a supporting-Oscar nomination as her Cockney friend. There were
four more Oscars and seven more nominations, including best picture.

Cartoons, 8-10 p.m., CBS.

Families may need to
keep their recording devices busy tonight. At the same time as “Mary
Poppins,” here are reruns of three shows – fairly good, very
popular -- that have already aired once this season.

“Rudolph the Red
Nosed Reindeer” is at 8. That's followed by the jaunty “Frosty
the Snowman” at 9 p.m. and its disappointing sequel, “Frosty
Returns,” at 9:30.

ALTERNATIVE: More classic movies, cable.

“Mary Poppins”
collides with two more films considered all-time classics.

At 8 p.m. ET, Turner
Classic Movies has “Woman of the Year” (1942), with Katharine
Hepburn and Spencer Tracy colliding amid sharply comic dialog. And at
8 p.m. on the USA Network is “It's a Wonderful Life” (1946), with
James Stewart, Donna Reed and an abundance of Christmas warmth.

Other choices

“Will &
Grace,” 8 p.m., NBC. This rerun has it all. There's a sharp,
dead-serious monolog by Will, lecturing the much-younger guy he's
dating. And there's some hilarious sight gags with Grace and Karen,
putting a modern spin on the old scene with Lucy and Ethel stuck in a

“The Gifted,” 8
p.m., Fox. In a fairly good rerun, Blink has pushed her powers too
far, collapsing. Now Caitlin and Eclipse make a risky effort to get a
crucial serum.

“Christmas in
Mississippi,” 8-10 p.m., Lifetime. Jana Kramer has managed to
juggle multiple careers. A singer – in 2013, the Academy of Country
Music named her best new female – she's had a busy acting career,
including three seasons on “One Tree Hill.” Here, she co-stars
with Wes Brown; also at 8 p.m., Maggie Lawson (fresh from the “Psych”
movie) has “Christmas Encore” on Hallmark.

8:30 p.m., NBC. In a funny rerun, people rush to re-open the store
... while pondering repercussions of things they did during the

“Lethal Weapon,”
9 p.m., Fox. Riggs heads to Mexico, to avenge his wife's murder.
Murtaugh heads there after him; later, both face investigations about
their actions.

More new Christmas
movies, 9 p.m. “Runaway Christmas Bride” is on Ion; “The
Christmas Cottage” is on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.

“Saturday Night
Live,” 11:29 p.m., NBC. James Franco has just opened an eccentric
film -- “The Disaster Artist,” based on the story behind the
creation of what's considered one of the all-time bad movies. Now he
hosts “SNL,” with Sza as music guest.

TV column for Friday, Dec. 8

“Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” 8 p.m., CW.

Some great foresight
went into molding this show, three years ago. Yes, Rachel Bloom –
who co-created it, co-writes the songs and stars as Rebecca – is an
immense talent. But “Crazy” made sure all the supporting roles
were filled by people with Broadway-style skills; it can move in any

Tonight, it turns to
Paula, Rebecca's long-suffering friend. Donna Lynne Champlin –
who's done five Broadway shows -- even belts a song about the male
organ. Some viewers – well, many viewers -- will find it terribly
inappropriate; others will find the song hilarious and the episode

II: “Blue Bloods,” 10 p.m., CBS.

This is the last new
episode until January, so we might as well savor it. It offers
another tricky balance between family and law-and-order duties.

A man has bravely
rescued a woman from a hostage situation. Now Jamie, a street cop,
wants his sister, a prosecutor, to drop all charges aainst the guy;
she feels conflicted. Meanwhile, her other brother (Danny) is probing
a car-theft ring; the leader, Victor Lugo, is someone he's confronted
in the past.

ALTERNATIVE: “The Crown” new season, any time, Netflix.

In the first season,
we saw Elizabeth II become queen at 25 ... something she didn't
expect would happen for decades. The series drew raves, three Emmys
and nine more nominations, including best actress (Claire Foy) and
best drama series.

Now it's 1956, four
years into her reign, with troubles involving world affairs and
family affairs. That's part of a busy day for the streaming services.
Netflix also debuts a movie, “El Camino Christmas”; Amazon Prime
has the second season of the non-fiction “Grand Tour,” with the
witty “Top Gear” guys.

Other choices

“Christmas Carol”
variations, all day. In theaters, some people are catching “The Man
Who Invented Christmas,” the story of Charles Dickens writing the
great 1 percent/99 percent tale. And today, we can see the acclaimed
Alastair Sim version (1951, 8 p.m. ET, Turner Classic Movies), plus
less-acclaimed versions with Jim Carrey (2009, 2:45 p.m., Freeform)
and Seymour Hicks (1935, 9:45 p.m. ET, TCM).

“Blindspot,” 8
p.m., NBC. To stop a terrorist plot, the team goes undercover at a
movie set.

“Once Upon a
Time,” 8 p.m., ABC. Desperate to free herself and wake Anastasia,
Victoria makes a deal that could cost a life. In a flashback, we
learn of Lady Tremaine's connection to another fairytale.

“MacGyver,” 8
p.m., CBS. Remember the “House” (airing after the Super Bowl)
that had the doctor doing a long-distance exam of a woman in
Antarctica? Now comes a variation: A college research ship is
stranded in the Arctic; Mac has a video (and emotional) link with the
group leader. Also, Jack kidnaps Elwood (Billy Baldwin), Riley's
bad-news dad, to learn what he's up to.

“Hawaii Five-0,”
9 p.m., CBS. Four people – McGarrett, Danny, Tani and Junior –
are exposed to a deadly bio-weapon. Now the rest of the team has only
eight hours to find an antidote.

“Agents of
SHIELD,” 9 p.m., Daisy risks everything, in an effort to save

10 p.m., Syfy. The Dredge is being quite grumpy now. It is torturing
Calvin, to make him release the evil demons; also, its minions are
converging on the Founders Day Festival.

TV column for Thursday, Dec. 7

“The Orville” season-finale, 9 p.m., Fox.

Wait a second ... a
season finale already? Doesn't it seems like the season just started?
Tonight, “S.W.A.T.” has only its sixth episode; on Friday,
“Agents of SHIELD” has only its second.

Let's credit the
networks for trying to avoid reruns. “Orville” started early –
three episodes before the season officially began – only made 13
episodes and will save one for next season. It steps aside for
specials next week, a rerun or two and then a short-run music show.
Tonight, the ship crash-lands on another planet; also, Ed and Kelly
(who's his First Officer and ex-wife) consider getting back together.

II: “The Great American Baking Show,” 9-11 p.m., ABC.

Here's the second
half of ABC's effort to keep things cheery and rerun-free in
December. “The Great Christmas Lights Fight” (Mondays) and this
show each get a quick, three-week run.

This one – adapted
from a British show – had “Holiday” in its title last season.
That was removed, but it still airs in December, with holiday-worthy
food. That starts here with cake and morning treats. Anthony “Spice”
Adams – a starting defensive lineman during most of his nine-year
pro football career – hosts with Ayesha Curry. Paul Hollywood and
Johnny Iuzzini are judges.

ALTERNATIVE: “Psych: The Movie,” 8-10 p.m., NBC.

For eight years,
this offered the sort of light adventure basic-cable was known for.
Shawn (James Roday), a cop's son, was merely a sharp observor, but
pretended to be a crime-solving psychic.

Now, three years
later, we get this movie. Roday (who co-wrote it) is back, along with
Maggie Lawson as his love interest, Dule Hill as his friend and
Corbin Bernsen as his dad. A colorful batch of guest stars includes
Zachary Levi, Ralph Macchio and Jimmi Simpson.

ALTERNATIVE: “A Nashville Christmas,” 8 p.m.ET, GetTV, rerunning
at 11.

Most of us are still
learning how to get GetTV. It's one of the “digi-nets” that exist
sometimes on cable and more often on stations' sub-channels,
available by digital antenna. But this is the time to find it; all
month, it reruns Christmas specials (tonight, Johnny Cash at 9, Mac
Davis at 10), plus this new hour.

Here are four great
talents – Wynonna Judd, Lorrie Morgan, Pam Tillis and Emmylou
Harris – joined by gospel's Ashley Cleveland and bluegrass' Dailey
& Vincent. We haven't seen the whole hour, but a sampling –
Morgan doing a gorgeous “Christmas Song,” Judd and Tillis rocking
out – is promising.

Other choices

“Gotham,” 8
p.m., Fox. In the “fall finale,” Carmine Falcone – former Mob
boss in Gotham City – is back in town. That complicates things for
his daughter Sophia and for Det. Gordon and Penguin. Meanwhile,
Alfred tries to get through to Bruce; Nygma tries to control his
Riddler persona.

“The Big Bang
Theory,” 8 p.m., CBS. Sheldon isn't really a natural
wedding-planner, but now he tries to use math principals. Also, Raj
blames his lack of confidence on his best friend, Howard.

“The Toy Story
That Time Forgot,” 8:30 p.m., ABC; and “Toy Story” (1995), 9-11
p.m., Freeform. First, catch this fairly good special – which is
preceded by the so-so “Shrek the Halls” at 8. Then switch to
cable and savor the original movie delight.

“Young Sheldon,”
8:31 p.m., CBS. It's time for some serious family warfare: Sheldon's
grandma refuses to give Sheldon's dad her brisket recipe.

“Mom,” 9:01
p.m., CBS. Steven Weber guests as the estranged brother of Bonnie's
boyfriend. Things get messy when he falls for Bonnie's daughter

“Dian Fossey:
Secrets in the Mist,” 10 p.m. ET, NatGeo Wild, rerunning at 11. If
you missed Wednesday's debut of this compelling, three-week
documentary, here's another chance. And this time it's preceded at 7
p.m. ET by “Gorilla's in the Mist” (1988), with Sigourney Weaver
as Fossey.

TV column for Wednesday, Dec. 6

“Dian Fossey: Secrets in the Mist” opener, 9 p.m., National
Geographic, rerunning at midnight.

Fossey grew up in
California, with a step-father who was rich and distant. Shy with
people, she was warm with animals; at 35, she found her role in life
– studying mountain gorillas in Rwanda.

This three-week
documentary follows the controversies surrounding her life and her
murder. It mixes new footage (beautifully shot) and film from her own
cameraman. It interviews many of the key people and makes ample use
of Fossey's own writing – read by Sigourney Weaver, who played her
in “Gorillas in the Midst” (1989) ... which will rerun at 7 p.m.
and midnight ET Thursday on NatGeo Wild.

“Modern Family,” 9 p.m., ABC.

For nine years,
we've seen Phil grasp for success in real estate. Now he's ready to
take a big chance, starting his own firm. To get in the mood, he's
trying a solo camping trip in the wild.

Meanwhile, Mitchell
decides he's going to teach Cam a lesson in gullibility and Lily a
lesson in responsibility. Naturally, this soon backfires.

ALTERNATIVE: “Happy” (Syfy) or “Knightfall” (History) debuts,
both 10 p.m.

Two ambitious cable
hours start simultaneously. In one, don't let the title fool you.

“Happy” is
roughly the least-happy show ever. Happy is the imaginary friend of a
little girl who's soon kidnapped. He pursues a possible rescuer – a
bitter and violent chap, played by Chris Meloni; the result is loud
and frantic and not much fun. By elimination, we might try History's
series; it follows knights in the Christian-Crusade era, after the
Holy Grail has been lost in battle.

Other choices

“A Very Pentatonix
Christmas,” 8 p.m., NBC. Here's a quick rerun of the Nov. 27
special, with guest stars including Jennifer Hudson, Jay Leno and
“America's Got Talent” winner Darci Lynne Farmer.

“Riverdale,” 8
p.m., CW. Jughead and Betty plan a welcome-home party for his dad,
who's getting out of prison. That leaves Archie and Veronica to take
over the Black Hood investigation.

“Empire,” 8
p.m., Fox. The master plan of Diana DuBois (Phylicia Rashad) is
starting to unfold. Cookie and Lucious try to take things into their
own hands, but their son Andre spirals out of control, worrying about
what's ahead for him. Also, Jamal's sobriety is put to the test.

“Star,” 9 p.m.,
Fox. There are relationship complications everywhere: Noah is in a
triangle with Star and her bandmate, Alexandra ... Elliott is eager
to advance his relationship with Cotton ... And Carlotta is happy
with Maurice – but keeps her focus on her family.

“Dynasty,” 9
p.m., CW. We're reminded that Fallon is a bad daughter (she co-opts
her dad's Christmas presents as her own) and a worse ex-lover –
leaving a naked couple locked outside the fire escape. Then again,
there are few good people here, as Cristal lies to her husband and
Steven confronts a fatal error from his past. With lots of evil, but
few skilled actors, “Dynasty” becomes a chore to watch.

Survivor,” 10 p.m., ABC. After sifting through thousands of letters
to the president, the staff chooses three to answer -- one of which
may involve saving a life.

“Chicago P.D.,”
10 p.m., NBC. When the daughter of a judge (John Pankow) dies, the
team probes a pill mill that's spreading into the subutbs. Also,
Voight learns who's been leaking information.

Migration Initiative studies, protects wildlife corridors

LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) — The University of Wyoming's Migration Initiative has made waves in the field of migration research, mapping some of the longest and most famous corridors in the country — and protecting those corridors through education and conservation efforts.

Wyoming Cooperative Research Unit Leader Matthew Kauffman said Wyoming has emerged as a leader in this field.

"We have some of the most intact landscapes and, now, some of the most well-documented and most impressive migrations in the west that are still intact," Kauffman said.

"The work that's been done — both in terms of research and conservation and policy — around these corridors has become sort of an example of how you map and understand and conserve corridors around the West."

He added, much of this is thanks to Wyoming's unique cultural history and environmental setting.

"Wyoming is unique in that we still have a lot of long distance migrations because there's so few people in the state," Kauffman said. "And so, it's been kind of a focus for wildlife research at the University of Wyoming for over a decade. About five years ago, we realized there was a lot of interest and enthusiasm for conserving these corridors around the state."

The initiative represents an effort to turn that research into action, the Laramie Boomerang reported .

"So, there was all this new research, but it wasn't really getting in the hands of the people that were either doing the work on the ground or making policies to manage corridors," Kauffman said. "So, we created the Wyoming Migration Initiative as sort of a means of amplifying work that we were doing — myself and other researchers — around migration corridors in Wyoming."

The initiative aims to conserve migrations by doing research, while also developing new tools and methodologies that allow land managers to identify important corridors.

"We (also) have a really strong focus on public education — helping people understand why these corridors are important and some of the threats that they face," Kauffman said. "It's been very successful on all those fronts."

Migration is important, Kauffman said, because big game herds cannot prosper if they stay in one location all year.

"Migration is essentially the solution these animals have to live in Wyoming's landscape of mountains and plains," he said. "And it allows them to essentially get the best of both worlds — to be up in the mountains in the spring and the summer when there's great forage production up there, but then when the snows come, they migrate out of the mountains into the valley."

Many corridors run through or next to small communities, meaning residential or rural development can impede the routes animals take from one location to another, Kauffman said, adding energy development can also impact animals on the move, though it is unlikely to completely block a corridor.
"If you lose your migration corridor, you get stuck on one seasonal range and it's really hard," he said. "When that happens to a migratory herd, they tend to suffer, they tend to decline in numbers and sometimes that leads to extirpation."

A broken man and homeless veteran finds purpose in life with his best friend and soulmate, a stray border collie

Inspired by True Events about One Man’s Journey with Man’s Best Friend

Steven Weber (“Wings,” “Brothers & Sisters”) stars in a touching story inspired by true events, of the special relationship between a broken, homeless vet and his only constant companion and soulmate, a Border Collie named Duke, in the World Premiere of “Duke,” a Hallmark Movie Channel Original premiering Saturday, April 28 (8p.m. ET/PT, 7C). Weber is joined by Sarah Smyth (“50/50,”) Allison Hossack (“Battle of the Bulbs,” “Reaper”), Kendall Cross (“Caprica”) and Martin Cummins (“V”). Border Collies, Zeek and Tanner take turns as Duke.

Marine Sergeant Terry Pulaski (Weber), a once proud man, is now a broken shell of himself having returned from Iraq with both PTSD and a disabling injury. Terry struggles to be a good father and husband, but he’s constantly depressed and hates the man he’s become. Bethany (Cross), Terry’s wife reluctantly brings home a stray dog that her student’s named Duke, knowing that Terry and their daughter will immediately fall in love. But during a Fourth of July firework celebration, Terry has flashbacks of the war and finds himself being comforted by Duke as the two lay huddled together on the laundry room floor. From that moment on, Duke and Terry are inseprable. As tensions are running high at home, Terry is delivered a final blow when he is ordered by his doctors to take a medical discharge. Terry feels like he has become a burden to his wife and daughter and decides to leave, taking Duke with him.

Ten years later, Terry and Duke are living in an old RV parked in his friend Javier’s (Cummins) carport. The two met when they were both homeless. The years have been hard on Terry and he struggles to make ends meet by doing odd jobs for people in the neighborhood. So when Duke becomes seriously ill, Terry is frantic because he has very little money, and he cannot bear knowing Duke may not survive. In desperation, Terry takes Duke to a nearby veterinary clinic, hoping a doctor (Hossack) will ease his final hours. When asked to fill out paperwork, Terry leaves an anonymous letter instead and takes off before the medical technician returns. To everyone’s surprise, Duke recovers, and a media campaign to find Duke’s owner leads Terry to not only reunite with Duke but reconcile with Alice (Smyth) his estranged daughter.

“Duke” is produced by Vet Street Productions. Gerald W. Abrams is the executive producer and Harvey Kahn is the producer. Mark Jean directed from a script by Michael J. Murray.

Milpark Education joins project to support African entrepreneurs

Milpark Education joins project to support African entrepreneurs

Milpark Education was recently announced as one of the seven African higher education institution’s to work with the UK’s University of Wolverhampton to spearhead a £1.3 million project to support the education of entrepreneurs in Africa. The innovative five-year project will be funded by the European Union.

The University of Wolverhampton’s Centre for African Entrepreneurship and Leadership (CAEL) will lead the project that will focus on strengthening communities by enhancing awareness of self-employment opportunities. Milpark Education has been leading the call for entrepreneurship education with its Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Business Administration qualifications focusing on self-employment opportunities through entrepreneurship education.

The seven African partners include Addis Ababa University (Ethiopia), Makerere University (Uganda), Kyambogo University (Uganda), University of Ghana (Ghana), Milpark Education (South Africa), Ministry of Education Uganda and the Private Sector Foundation Uganda.

Dr Joseph Sekhampu, Dean School of Commerce says: “Our participation, as the only South African higher education institution, is in recognition of our leading role in the area of entrepreneurship education development over the last few years. The partnership also allows us to adopt the challenges that currently face the local economy. The project will allow us to come up with innovative solutions and contribute towards a more entrepreneurial society.”

Dr Sam Koma, Head of Department in the Milpark School of Government and Public Management says the project partners “signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) agreeing to foster the development of student and staff academic exchange and embed entrepreneurship education delivery in the fields of Business, Administration and Law.” The MoU, he continues, “represents an assurance and vow from the partners to promote sustainable development, ultimately to contribute to poverty reduction through increasing the availability of educated and qualified high-level persons in Africa.”

Dr Koma says the five-year project which will kick off in 2018 “will involve academic exchange programmes to share ideas and expertise, guest lectures, research fellowships, hosting joint academic conferences, symposia and seminars based on entrepreneurship-related topics as well as social and economic development within communities across Eastern, Western and Southern African regions.”
