Listen to a Londoner: Claire Watson

Listen to a Londoner is a weekly interview with a Londoner – someone who lives in this city, born here or elsewhere. If you want to be interviewed, email Always looking for new volunteers.

Claire Watson, 26

Claire works in social media strategy and lives in Islington. She wishes that running everywhere, and subsequently being able to go to the pub in your lycra, was socially acceptable. She’s currently working on the Boutique Run and training for the Guernsey marathon in August. She’s set up a JustGiving page if you’d like to support her efforts.

LLO: Give us the basics first: How long have you lived in London, where are you from originally and how did you end up here?
I’ve been in London for 3.5 years. I lived in Clapham Junction for few years, and now been up in Islington for the past 9 months. I grew up in leafy north Hertfordshire so would often come into central London on the train at weekends and have always wanted to experience living and working here.

LLO: As a runner preparing for a marathon, where’s your favourite place in the city to train?
I’m really lucky to live within a 15 minute run of Primrose Hill – it’s a great place to train… Not only is powering up the hill some of the best conditioning training you can do, it’s such a beautiful view when you reach the top.

LLO: Tell us a bit about the Boutique Run coming up in Battersea Park this July. What brought about the idea and what can we expect?
All the stats show that women would exercise more if the facilities were of a better quality, if they could do it with friends and if the competition was friendly – not fierce. So Boutique Run is a new event concept which leaps these hurdles with style. Women can take part in a 5 or 10k run followed by a post race experience unlike any other. We’re talking free champagne, hot showers, massage, a fabulous after party and a special ‘Bouti’ bag full of goodies!

LLO: Favourite shop in London for sports gear?
Sweaty Betty is fantastic – they do really great clothes that are really flattering and feminine. They normally have really good sales and if you sign up to the catalogue list you get another 10% off your sale items (as well as a nice catalogue in the post every few months)

LLO: Best place for pampering and massage after a long run
I don’t tend to get massages in London, as they are so expensive! My boyfriend kindly got me (and him) a day’s introduction to massage course as a Christmas present this year, so we’re now pretty competent at getting each other’s knots out! It was a really nice activity to do together on a rainy Saturday in London and now we’re saving money not having to go out to get them. Although I’m yet to find a massage deal that I would like, I’d recommend signing up to, as they have some great health and beauty offers across several really nice London spas and beauticians.

LLO: And of course, the reward – favourite place to enjoy a night out in the capital?
There are so many great places to go out that offer something completely different for whatever your mood. Is it really sappy if I say it’s more about the people than the place we go, as there are so many fun places? I have the best nights out with my girlfriends from school. We live all across London so tend to congregate in Covent Garden as a centre point. Cocktails at Sophie’s Steakhouse are great and you can’t go wrong with 1/2 price happy hours at Jewel.

LLO: Any advice for busy Londoners looking to stay fit but might not quite have the energy for all these marathons?
Everyday activities. Instead of standing to the right on escalators on the tube, walk up them (really squeeze your buns as you do it to give them even more of a work out). There are loads of great parks in London, so just get out there and walk or jog around them.

I also took up softball a couple of years ago through work – there are loads of leagues taking off in London, predominantly based around companies. It’s more about socialising in the evening sun than anything else… And a great way to meet people.

LLO:  What’s the coolest thing about living in your postcode?
Freightliners Farm – hearing cows mooing when we have the windows open, or being woken up by the cockerels.

LLO: Tell us about something, somewhere or someone that you’ve discovered in London and think the rest of us should know about.
The Thai Green curry man who sets up his stall every lunch time in Goodge Place – thoroughly delicious. Also, if you have a friend who works for PWC, ask them to take you to the Turret meeting rooms in the Embankment office – one of the best views of London I’ve been lucky enough to see.

LLO: Is there somewhere in London you’ve love to explore on a long run but haven’t had a chance yet?
The Thames path out in Richmond – I did a quick run down there a few weeks ago and will definitly be carrying out some of the hard 20 milers out past Richmond, towards Ham and Kingston- it’s really beautiful and you feel 1,000 miles away from a busy city.

Thanks Claire!

I think at one point or another, every single one of us has said, I wish they had taught us that in school. I know algebra and chemistry were important, but I wish the same emphasis was put on credit score, retirement savings and debt as well. While I'm sure that some people use 2x + y = 6 in their every day lives, I also know that credit and personal finances play a roll in every adults daily life. Well if law makers in Maine get their way, real world financial education will be taught in schools as well.

According to WGME in Augusta, a proposed bill in the state would add a new requirement to its schools curriculum, personal finance.  Lawmakers held a public hearing on the proposal that would add personal finance standards to the statewide learning results.

Supporters say it's about real-world skills every student will need, from understanding how to make a personal budget to managing credit card debt, and they say far too many students graduate without those skills.

They have to make loan payments on a car, they have to get student loans. They have to pay their grocery bill. There are a lot of things that we need to know about money for, and frankly, it's not being taught in all schools equally

Sen. Matthew Pouliot

If passed, the Department of Education would develop the curriculum, which would incorporate financial literacy education as early as kindergarten through high school.

Monday of week 8 of Ordinary Time – First Reading

Commentary on 1 Pet 1:3-9

Today we begin readings from the First Letter of Peter.

“This letter was most likely written… about 64 AD and sets forth the nature of the Christian life begun in baptism as an experience of regeneration.  By their acceptance of Christianity, the Christian communities of Asia Minor had become separated from their pagan countrymen, who were abusing and persecuting them. The apostle instructs his readers that Christianity is the true religion in spite of their trials and sufferings and exhorts them to lead good Christian lives.” (St Joseph‘s Weekday Missal, vol. 1)

The first three verses of the chapter are not included in the reading but in them the writer tells us to whom the letter is being addressed.  They include five Roman provinces in Asia Minor and cover most of what is modern Turkey – Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia.

The letter begins in the usual way with a kind of prayer which is full of hope.  In fact, an aura of hope suffuses this whole letter.  In spite of the frequent suffering and persecution mentioned in the letter, hope is such a key thought in it (the word itself is used here and in vv.13,21; 3:5,15) that it may be called a letter of hope in the midst of suffering.  Christian hope is not just wishful thinking; it is an utter conviction of what is going to be realised.  Here there is a guarantee of an “imperishable inheritance” to which all can look forward to with faith and confidence.  The basis of that hope is the resurrection of Jesus, who passed through such terrible suffering and death to life.  Our faith tells us that we can go the same way with him.

This hope leads to the enjoyment of an inheritance, an inheritance that is eternal, one that is being kept in store for us by God.   And we are being made safe, first, by the power of God and, second, by our faith, our total trust and commitment to God.  And this guarantees our salvation, which can be seen in three phases: 1, the salvation that comes when we first believe in Jesus as Lord and Saviour; 2, the continuing process of salvation as we grow in holiness and wholeness; and 3, when we are united face to face with our God and Lord in glory.

In spite of the many trials and tribulations that the Christians are passing through, the writer assures them that “there is cause for rejoicing”.  Because such trials test their faith like gold being purified in fire and will make them even more ready to welcome Christ when he comes.  As precious metals are purified by fire, so our faith is strengthened by the trials we experience in our living it out.  Experience has shown again and again that persecution has been a strong reinforcer of faith in Christians.  Jesus foretold that his followers would constantly face resistance, contempt and persecution.  It is not something to be deliberately sought or provoked but at the same time it is one of the signs of our commitment to the Kingdom and the Way of the Gospel.  The true Christian will always be seen as a ‘sign of contradiction’ and hence a challenge to conventional wisdom and political correctness.

Peter, who himself had a personal knowledge of Jesus, is presented here as praising the readers of the letter, who, “although you have never seen him, you love him, and without seeing him, you now believe in him”.  It reminds one of the words of Jesus to Thomas after the resurrection: “Blessed are those who have not seen but have believed” (John 20:29).  Through our faith, we are in direct contact with Jesus.  The true believer makes contact with Jesus in every person and every experience.

So, they have reason to “rejoice with inexpressible joy” because they are achieving the goal of faith – and indeed the goal of life – their salvation.  “Salvation” means much more than “going to heaven” after we die.  It implies a restoration of our fragile and weak lives to complete wholeness and in being totally reunited in joy and peace with him from whom we came – God our Creator.  And it begins in this life on earth.

Joy and consolation should be the over-riding experience of the committed follower of Jesus.  This joy and consolation is not taken away by our experience of hardships, testings and disappointments in our lives.  Quite the contrary.

If that joy is not the deeper part of our Christian experience, then we need to look further for the cause.

Amy Goldschlager Reviews It Devours!: A Welcome to Night Vale Novel Audiobook by Joseph Fink & Jeffrey Cranor

Locus Magazine, Science Fiction FantasyIt Devours!: A Welcome to Night Vale Novel, Joseph Fink & Jeffrey Cranor; Cecil Baldwin, narrator (HarperAudio 978-006247610-4, $39.99, CD, 9.5 hr., unabridged [also available as a digital download]) October 2017.

This is the second standalone novel associated with one of my favorite podcasts, Welcome to Night Vale, set in a strange desert town in which all conspiracies are true and anything can happen (and usually does). At the behest of her boss, Carlos, the scientist Nilanjana investigates a series of mysterious earthquakes in Night Vale, which brings her into the orbit of Darryl, an adherent of the Joyous Congregation of the Smiling God. The two embark on a fumbling romance while attempting to avert an apocalypse.

Apparently, the book has illustrations, which you will obviously not get here. However, listeners are rewarded with the only possible reader: Cecil Baldwin, the voice of Night Vale Community Radio’s Cecil Palmer, and the primary narrator of the podcast. As in the previous book, the character Cecil doesn’t really appear in the book, which is somewhat disconcerting, but understandable, given that the book is supposed to serve both podcast fans and those who have never listened to the series at all. Baldwin has an edge over most narrators; because of his intimate involvement with the podcast, he knows Night Vale about as well as its creators do.

Accustomed to the podcast as I am, this book didn’t entirely work for me. The podcast is a lot more open-ended, asking more questions than it answers. The book works a lot harder to tie up loose ends, which kind of spoils the mystery for me. The Smiling God was a lot scarier to me in the podcast; once I learned it was actually a giant and probably non-sentient caterpillar, a lot of its menace was gone. In addition, podcast listeners will know that a threatened apocalypse is a fairly regular occurrence in Night Vale. The stakes just didn’t feel that high to me. This had not nearly the emotional weight of a multi-episode podcast apocalypse involving a collapsing multiverse observed by mourning goddess Huntokar (seriously, go check that out).

It’s a bit too stretched out and labored for me, but I do love Night Vale, and will take all I can get. For newbies, this is a decent entrée.

This review and more like it in the January 2018 issue of Locus.Locus Magazine, Science Fiction Fantasy

While you are here, please take a moment to support Locus with a one-time or recurring donation. We rely on reader donations to keep the magazine and site going, and would like to keep the site paywall free, but WE NEED YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT to continue quality coverage of the science fiction and fantasy field.

My Rant on our Educational System

Over a year ago I found myself changing careers, going from non profit management to education and it has most definitely opened my eyes to the politics that goes on behind the scenes so to speak. Now, my undergrad degree was in political science, so I have a tendency to look at the world through a political science lens, but having two kids who have attended public schools K-12, and a third kid who is now in 4th grade, from my humble opinion, politics is at the heart of so much that is wrong with our educational system. The folks who are in decision making positions too often have agendas that are more political and self serving than student centered. From what I see, the notion of equity, quality and student outcomes, seems to be more of an afterthought.

Just imagine if state wide there was a shared vision of public schools founded on the principles of providing a high quality equitable education, with a focus on physical and mental wellness. A vision that was not lost in the political discourse that creates opportunities and pathways based on the neighborhood’s wealth and ethnic demographics, which leaves a large percentage of Black and Brown kids at a disadvantage and with no clear pathway to the same opportunities I just mentioned.

Education is arguably the most important investment society can make. The truth is every problem we face, from joblessness and crime to racism, homophobia, can be better addressed by creating an educational system that ensures students will leave the school with the capability of engaging in these type of dialogues and will feel empowered to advocate for the issues that directly impact their future.

The fact is public school funding has been cut all over the country after excessive and reckless tax cuts. And if you consider that we should all be looking at education through a social justice lens, then the focus would be on the distribution of resources in a fair and equitable manner, ensuring that all students feel safe and secure and are receiving a high quality education.

cal ed quote

But the reality is the students who suffer the most from budget cuts here in California, are Black and Brown students living in working class neighborhoods that are labeled “urban”. These schools are feeling the brunt of the cuts because they receive the lowest funding, fewest supplies, too often the least rigorous curriculum, and the oldest facilities and equipment, according to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.

So what does this say about the future of our public school education here in California? What responsibility do we as educators have in response to this crisis that we are in? Although I am not a teacher, I am an educator and have been working with children in various capacities for over 20 years, from teaching dance and gymnastics, facilitating know your rights workshops and restorative justice circles, to directing a youth program.

I believe that if you work with youth in any capacity, you must be held to a higher standard, and you must take advantage of opportunities to highlight the disparities and force much needed dialogues. It’s on us to help cultivate healthy, quality, equitable schools for our kids, and to hold administrators and lawmakers accountable when they don’t provide the resources we need to make this happen. We owe it to our children.

  1. I love this, I know you’re focused on California in this but unfortunately it happens everywhere school funding is like the lowest on the totem pole fortunately here in New Mexico the brown in the black have an advantage because we are the majority. Thank you for sharing this very well done

  2. we must change the system. how? i wish i knew. i wish i could both be in my classroom with my babies where i belong, but i also am starting to wish i could be on the frontlines of activism everyday- going to sacramento or washington to fight. it’s infuriating and heartbreaking.
    where should i go? what would make the most impact?
    we are so lucky to have your voice and your presence. 🙏🏾🙌🏾❤

    1. I feel the exact way about you. As much as your presence and voice is needed on the front lines, I know first hand how fortunate my kids were to have you as their educator and caregiver and how much every child that has walked through your classroom door has benefited from being taught by you. I too wish I knew how to transform this broken system, I just hope that I can contribute to its dismantling any way that I can!

Global Glow

Biofluorescent Springhares

Pop quiz: What hops. . . and glows?

This is Sandra Tsing Loh with the Loh Down on Science.

We’ve told you about glowing platypuses in Australia. And there are possums in the Americas that glow too! This glow-in-the-dark feature is called biofluorescence. Where else in the world can we find these animal show-offs??

Erik Olson from Northland College, Wisconsin, and team can shine a light on that question. They found more biofluorescent mammals at a natural history museum in Chicago. Shhh! Something glowing this way hops!

It looks like a bunny but it’s actually a SPRINGHARE! Springhares are RODENTS, not rabbits, originally from Southern Africa.

The team gathered fourteen springhare skin specimens from the museum. When they put them under visible and U-V light along with five living springhares in captivity – voila! Beautiful reddish glow!

Springhares are the FIRST NATURALLY biofluorescent mammals to be found originally from Africa. Biofluorescence could be a global phenomenon!

This lost pet could be easy to find: four legs, cute button nose – glows in the dark! Answers to “Moonbeam.”

Day: April 1, 2021

Ehehehee! They April Fooled Themselves!

The humans are always on the lookout for unusual produce. Recently, the human male, on one of his shopping forays, purchased two of something called lemon plums

They really do look like lemons, do they not?

He tried one and was unimpressed. He put the other in the chill chest and forgot about it.

The other day, the human female went looking for lemons for something. She dug around in the fruit drawer and pulled one out and said, “This lemon looks weird. It has a red nose. Do you suppose it’s all right?”

And then enlightenment smacked her right between the eyes.

She was going to take a photo to show how much this variety looks like a lemon, but she has a brain like a sieve and forgot for a few days. She has just this minute rounded it up again, only to find that it has ripened from yellow to orangey-red.

It no longer resembles a lemon, and apparently the riper one gets the redder it becomes.

According to the interwebs, you’re supposed to wait for them to get red in the first place. No wonder the one the male ate was underwhelming!

Half-wits, both of them.

Risoni. Speck. Fusilli 80. May we never meet again. Lordy. I did not like knitting with thread. There’s no other way to describe this stuff. Let me try again. Maybe I can capture it better. I did not like knitting with lumpy thread. The only yarn worse than Fusilli 80 was Risoni. Speck, the lightest orange in the bunch was better to work with. What made this doable for me were my ChiaoGoo lacepoint sharps and my conviction that a certain knitworthy friend of mine was going to like this a lot. (And she did.)

The Shifting Silk Scarf kit is the one you may have seen in shops stuffed into a clear plastic small container with a hole in the top to feed yarn through. The pattern is planted in the kit, through the hole, clipped to something that looks like what a florist stuffs into an arrangement to hold the gift card. I saved the container because that little gizmo may come in handy for wrestling with some future unruly yarn.

Here’s another view.

The scarf needed wet blocking. But, once blocked, it’s basically kept its edges uncurled. The pattern cautions to block the work dry and then wet it down because otherwise the threads may snap. Believe me I took that caution to heart. That was the nightmare scenario.

This was 490 yards of mindless knitting. Despite all my grumbling, I pronounce it a wonderful result.

Feng Shui Decor

What is Feng Shui Decor?

Feng Shui Decor: Feng Shui is an ancient oriental art that studies the movement of Chi or vital energy of all things.

Feng shui studies the flow of Chi (vital energy) in the environment to see how it influences people, homes and different aspects of life.

It is important to observe all the surroundings that surround us, rivers, lakes, mountains, buildings, the streets. Also how the environments are distributed within our house and the places where energy flows. The location is also taken into account according to the cardinal points and the movement of chi or energy over time.

Feng Shui Decor is applied to:

  • all kinds of decoration
  • home building
  • architecture,
  • internal design of houses or their decoration
  • gardens, ponds, fountains
  • kitchens, bed rooms

The Feng Shui decor is based on aesthetic and decorative principles guided by common sense. Also in logical foundations that look for beauty and balance. Improvements can be made in many areas of our lives such as health, relationships, economic, prosperity, business, study or our workplace.

What is Chi or Vital Energy?

Vital energy is known as Chi, Qi or Ki according to the text we are reading. This word is widely used in many Chinese and Japanese books that talk about Feng Shui, Medicine, Taoism and a variety of ancient oriental arts. It is the main base of martial art called AIKIDO

Chi is the vital energy of everything that exists and surrounds us. It is the universal energy named in many ways as Pnuema, Prana, Ki, etc. depending on each culture. It has a different name but in all cases it symbolizes the same thing: it is the vital energy that sustains the universe.

The job of a Feng Shui Master is to understand the Chi of a place. How it is distributed and how the invisible energy that gives life and nourishes that environment or place flows and thus be able to decipher whether the effects that this energy has on that site are positive or negative.  Since Chi is not something static, it flows and is observed in all forms of nature, in artificial constructions, in time and in the location of space.

The positive Chi or the useful energy part is called Sheng Qi and refers to places with good Feng Shui. Sites that have a bad feng shui or a negative Chi are called Sha Qi, the latter being the least favorable and negative places for feng shui.

Finding out if the Chi of a place is Positive or Negative

The simplest way to feel if we are in a place with a good Chi or a bad Chi is to use common sense and feel the way we feel in that place. The environments with a good Qi make people who are there feel good, happy, have harmony and are healthy.

On the contrary when there is bad feng shui in an environment, this is conducive to people being in a bad mood, uncomfortable, irritated or with little energy.

Chi energy adapts like water or a river to shapes, spaces and time. A crystalline, transparent and clean river that runs calmly generates a good feng shui or Sheng Qi A change a polluted or stagnant river, brings a Sha Qi or a bad feng shui. Like rivers, the environments of a house or office work the same way.

All people are different, with different tastes and ways of life. Therefore feng shui must also be adapted to them.

We will use the word Chi, Qi and vital energy interchangeably, but we are always referring to the same. it is the universal energy that flows, creates and transforms everything that exists in the universe

What is Yin and Yang?

Smooth and quiet movements
The soul
It is expansive

Yang energy

Fast movements
The masculine

  • preference for darkness, use of
  • dark gray colors,

  • Lack of sleep
  • hyperactivity,
  • use of intense and strong red colors,
  • spicy and spicy foods
  • alcohol-free consumption,
  • strong music
  • Excess of energy of all kinds

  • Pastel colors,
  • Hot and cold food combination. Combination with fruits and vegetables
  • Calm environments
  • Soft music

Moderate or controlled activityIt is always about balancing the excesses of an energy with elements of the opposite energy, in this way you get harmony and balance in our lives and in our environment

The 5 Elements for Feng Shui Decor

The 5 elements represent 5 different forms of vital energy or Chi. This is based on many of the oriental arts such as martial arts, Tai Chi Chuan, Aikido and Feng Shui.

The 5 natural elements are

  • Fire,
  • Land,
  • Metal,
  • Water
  • Wood

Characteristics of the 5 elements

The fire element is basically related to growing or ascending energy, with light, warmth, life and summer

Earth is mainly related to the changes of cycles, to the circular movement

This is more related to the inner, with the inner changes. Also with the fall and reflection

Water is related rather with the energy that descends, with winter. It is the fluid and what adapts to the changes

Wood is related to everything that flows outward with that kind of energy that spring has. It is associated with growth and hope

Each of these five elements is related and associated with many other things such as colors, emotions, shapes, environments, furniture and much more. This allows us to associate and analyze the decoration of the spaces and the things they contain. In this way, the energies that affect that particular site and their relationship with people are analyzed

Feng Shui Decor Equilibrium

It is necessary according to Eastern theories that these elements are in fluid balance between them. If this is not the case, undesirable events occur. To cite an example, fire is an element that serves to give heat, cook food or mold materials. If you get out of control or are in excess you can destroy everything. It is the same for the other four elements as well.

With Feng Shui, what is done is to identify these imbalances between the elements and solve them to correct the flow of the Qi and thus solve the energetic flow. Needless to say, all balance is only temporary, so you must continuously monitor the work done, attentive to other imbalances. Even if you travel, you can do Feng Shui while doing it

LoveHorror at FrightFest 2011 – Day 3

Film4 Frightfest 2011

This was the way that Saturday 27th started for me in the darkened Screen 1 of the Empire Leicester Square as the superb Scandinavian monster movie TrollHunter opened day 3 of FrightFest with a ground shaking, bone breaking, laugh making, found footage film as original as it was entertaining and one of my favourite films of FrightFest so far.

FrightFest 2011While The Dead played next door in the Discovery Screen with live commentary from the Ford brothers we had already been treated to an exclusive trailer of The Drought introduced by director Lawrence Gough as well as a look at Hammer’s new Woman in Black trailer, with a start like that what a great and gruesome day it was shaping up to be.

The Wicker Tree was next up introduced by the director Robin Hardy the man who made the classic chilling The Wicker Man. Hardy while presenting the audience to the movies main stars, Brittania Nicol, Henry Garrett, Honeysuckle Weeks and Jacqueline Leonard, explained his new movie was not a sequel as such but explored the same themes and employed the same style as his previous pagan picture.

He also admitted he was spurned on by the terrible Hollywood Wicker Man remake and that his new film was part two of a trilogy with a third film on the way called the Wrath of the Gods.

The Wicker Tree was more of a bawdy romp than an all out horror full of sexy sirens seducing the innocent Texan Christian couple who journey to Scotland to save the heathens of the village. The Jesus lovers find out much too late that these country folk worship a very different set of gods than them and the inevitable ending comes all to son for them.

FrightFest 2011
Fans queue to meet Wicker Man director Robin Hardy

As one of Love Horror’s other reviewers checked out Atrocious in the Discovery Screen I was back awaiting the British made Panic Button an innovative and original horror receiving its world premiere at FrightFest 2011.

Personally picked by festival organiser Alan Jones it is a very modern tale of four random people who win a competition on a social network site to fly on a private jet to New York. Once aboard they are told that there is another game for them to play on the screens in their cabin, a game that will reveal them as they truly are.

Starting out with some uncomfortably personal questions with information on them all gathered online it is soon apparent that whoever is controlling the game knows a lot more about the foursome than anyone should. Trapped at 30,000 feet the stakes are about to rise and they are faced with the terrifying game which they must play to save themselves and their friends from the wrath of the invisible killer controlling their fate.

FrightFest 2011
Cast and crew of Panic Button

James Moran’s hilarious and inspired take on Halloween was shown next as part of the exclusive FrightFest John Carpenter tribute films taking the form of H33 where Michael Myers having moved to England and gotten a lot older is just as violent now he’s a psychopathic pensioner because he hates teenagers even more.

Before the second 3D film of FrightFest began we where treated to several exclusive clips and trailers as Martin Kemp and Ryan Andrews took to the stage and after apologising for Dead Cert last year showed us a specially made trailer of Ray and Jaime Winstone staring Elfie Hopkins, a killer clip from Kemp’s Stalker and a titillating trailer from Strippers Vs Werewolves all of which looked great.

FrightFest 2011
Ryan Andrews and Martin Kemp

FrightFest favourite Joe Lynch took to the stage next previewing Knights of Badassdom a movie so baddass we got to see not only the trailer but a full clip too both showing that this is a LARPing laugh riot full of gore and more which hopefully will play at next years FrightFest.

Fright Night

The 3D remake of Fright Night may have been made by Disney but it definitely delivered on the frights and the thrills. Packed full of action and staring a great cast including Colin Farrell, Anton Yelchin, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Toni Collette and David Tennant in a brilliant role as a rock and roll magician the tale of what happens when a vampire moves in next door was massive fun even if the 3D was a little pointless.

Bringing about a very different tone to the proceedings Lucky McKee introduce The Woman next a film many FrightFesters had been eagerly anticipating. Dark and disturbing, emotional and compelling it was often times hard to watch but well worth experiencing for the impact it provides and the images it leaves behind.

As another one of our reviewers popped over to the Discovery Screen to finish the night with A Horrible Way to Die I ended the evening on a high as Joe Lynch was back for the late night screening of Chilleramma which he previewed at last years festival. The horror anthology takes the audience through a quartet of horror with WadZila, The Diary of Anne Frankenstein, Zom-B-Movie and I was a Teenage Werebear directed by Adam Rifkin, Tim Sullivan, Adam Green and Joe Lynch himself.

Day 3 was done and the weekend was well underway and with the bank holiday in full affect Sunday was gearing up to give me even more thrills, chills and frights the way only FrightFest can.

LS Welcomes Incoming Students Through OrSem 2020: Tuloy

By Patricia Lero and Trisha Reyes, OrSem 2020 Chairpersons

OrSem 2020: Tuloy was the university’s first ever online freshman orientation seminar, designed by the Organizing Committee with the goal of transforming important traditions into the online setting. With health concerns in mind, OrSem adjusted a two-day event into a seven-day program with both synchronous and asynchronous activities.

The OrSem 2020 team created a website with the help of partner organizations, Ateneo Management Information Systems Association and the Computer Society of the Ateneo. Scrolling through the website, incoming students could view official videos and updated primers to help them take their first steps into college life. An interactive map and freshie journal were available for students to download and enjoy in their own time using their official school email accounts.

Social media platforms and online communication applications were used not only to disseminate details and instructions, but also to conduct volunteer meetings, freshman block sessions, and live performances. Given that not everyone has access to technology and internet connection, none of the activities were required this year. Despite this, freshies eagerly attended all three block sessions with high attendance rates across the board. Over hundreds of freshies watched their batchmates sing, dance, draw, and put on a fantastic show of talent through livestreams of O-Idol, the expanded online equivalent of the traditional freshie talent competition.

Introducing the Ateneo community, culture, and campus was the foundation of OrSem from the beginning. Given the health crisis, Tuloy aimed to go beyond this and bring a sense of normalcy to everyone who volunteered and participated—to really find a way to connect all the students despite the physical distance, and to help everyone slowly move forward and soldier on.

At its heart, the spirit of OrSem remained the same whether it was done face-to-face or online. It is the warmest welcome the Ateneo community could offer its newest members, and a reminder that they will always be welcome to this home. Tuloy sa Ateneo!

The Organizing Committee utilized Google Meet calls to coordinate for Tuloy
O-Idol contestants were all smiles at the end of their general assembly

Pro Sports Teams Go Solar via EcoWatch and Reader Supported News

hen it comes to clean energy and sustainability, solar looks to be a shoo-in one day for the “green” Hall of Fame. Today, more and more sports teams, sports leagues and sports organizations are embracing the advantages of solar energy.

On Monday, the National Hockey League (NHL) released a new sustainability report, saying, in part, “We believe it’s important to invest in clean, renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar and hydro in North America. Supporting clean energy will help achieve long-term benefits for our business, such as price stability.”

The report went on to add: “In addition to pursuing reduction measures, five NHL arenas now supply a portion of their power needs for the facility by using on-site solar power or lower-emission energy sources, such as biogas-fueled fuel cell technology.”
Today, solar is the fastest-growing source of renewable energy in America. But guess what? You can also make a persuasive case that we are actually #1 overall. According to a recently-released report by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) natural gas and solar ran 1-2 in new capacity installed in the first half of 2014, with 1,555 MW of natural gas coming online and 1,131 MW of solar. But if you add in the 457 MW of distributed generation solar added (and in the first quarter of this year alone!)–something FERC fails to take into account–solar topped all other forms of energy with at least 1,588 MW of new installed capacity.

Michael Jackson’s hand and foot impressions are up for grabs

Anything that Michael Jackson touched has turned into gold : be it his ‘Bad’ jacket, then famous silver gloves, the furniture he ordered before ‘This is it’ or even the little known cement slab Michael made the impression for at the Las Vegas Walk of Fame project. The 375-pound slab of concrete, which features the deleb’s hand and foot impressions along with his signature will go under the hammer in an online auction by www.natedsanders.com. Dubbed as the “Broken Heart Stone,” because a surface crack runs through a heart design within Jackson’s left palm print, the slab is estimated to fetch a more than $100,000.

Comment by Fede Ruiz (fede-ruiz) on What trade should we make if we're all getting the new COVID strain? · 2020-12-25T18:54:09.950Z · LW · GW

What's an example of a volatility related instrument I could trade on right now? VIX index?

Comment by Fede Ruiz (fede-ruiz) on Movable Housing for Scalable Cities · 2020-05-15T23:01:21.716Z · LW · GW

This article is very persuasive. I happen to be in Montevideo (Uruguay) right now, and I shared it with a friend of mine who has a tech-startup in the city.

Uruguay has a pretty impressive startup scene. We are brainstorming ways of amplifying the message so the key figures in the scene are aware of the idea.

At the very least it planted the idea in our minds. We are going to do some research of how it could look like and probably post a followup article here soon.

Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge: My Celebrity Crushes

Hosted by Long and Short Reviews.

Click here to read everyone else’s replies to this week’s question and here to see the full list of topics for the year.

What a fun topic as we move closer to Valentine’s Day!

My celebrity crushes include:

Red carpet photo of actress Julia Stiles

Julia Stiles.

I’ve thought she was cute ever since I saw her in 10 Things I Hate About You back in the 90s. She tends to play characters who know what they want out of life and go for it.  I really like that.

Nina Dobrev on the set of Vampire Diaries playing the character Elena Gilbert

Nina Dobrev.

A few weeks ago, my spouse convinced me to start watching season one of The Vampire Diaries. Nina plays the main character, Elena Gilbert, on that show, and I immediately thought she was pretty. Obviously, I have no idea what the actor’s personality is like, but her character is so sweet that I can’t help but to have a crush on her.

William Jackson Harper as Chidi
Photo by: Robert Trachtenberg/NBC

William Jackson Harper.

One of my longterm goals with the Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge is to convince everyone else to give The Good Place a try. Yes, I’m joking there. (Probably 😉 ).

Not only is this show funny, many of the characters in it are quite attractive if any of you are looking for eye candy. Wlliam’s character, Chidi Anagonye, is a nerdy, intellectual guy which is something I find irresistible.

Jameela Jamil as Tahani Al-Jamil

Jameela Jamil.

Jameela Jamil plays Tahani Al-Jamil in The Good Place. She plays her role as a wealthy, sheltered, but still incredibly likeable person extremely well. I was surprised by how quickly I developed a crush on her.

33 Responses to Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge: My Celebrity Crushes

  1. I LOVE Julia Stiles. “The Prince and Me” is still one of my favorite cheesy romance movies. And she was great in the Bourne movies as well.

    One of my long term goals of the WWBC is to get people watching “12 Monkeys” so we can both annoy folks with constant mentions. 😀

  2. I’ve liked Julia Stiles as an actress since seeing her in The Bourne Identity I think it was? I like it when she plays slightly edgy roles but I’ve seen her in comedies too and she’s been good.

  3. I adore Julia Stiles! I have been thinking a bit about my celeb crushes and here’s my list:

    Christopher Meloni (Detective Stabler on SUV for 12 seasons and I cried when he left)

    Justin Timberlake (longest relatonship I have ever had, going back to when N*SYNC first started and I was 14 or so – I am now 37, lol

    Kevin Garnett (my fave basketball player of all time, tied only for that honor with Michael Jordan)

    Billie Joe Armstrong (lead singer, Green Day)

    Dan Jones (my fave historian who I got to meet and it was exactly as perfect as I hoped it would be. Except we did not get married, since he is already married, but you can’t win ’em all, so…)

Rummenigge: Without Messi, Barcelona had their soul ripped out

  /  autty

Former Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge was full of praise for the German club after their 3-0 victory against Barcelona at the Camp Nou on Tuesday night, as they got their Champions League campaign off to a great start.

Thomas Muller opened the scoring in the 34th minute before Robert Lewandowski added the second and third goals in the 56th and 85th minutes respectively, but Rummenigge focused on the way in which Barcelona appear to be a different team without Lionel Messi in their ranks.

"They played outstandingly well and deserved to win. It's too early to talk about favourites. [The competition] only really starts with the knockout phase," Rummenigge told Bild after Bayern's 3-0 win against Barcelona.

"If you look at the team, the way they performed tactically. Without Messi, their souls have been ripped out. They are facing difficult times.

"It was imperative to sell him. The Spanish league has scored an own goal with him."

Rummenigge was asked about Lewandowski's future at Bayern and whether the club may turn to Borussia Dortmund's Erling Haaland as a possible replacement for the Pole.

"With Lewandowski you have the best striker in the world. Haaland is the second best," Rummenigge noted.

"I think Bayern have an interest in Robert staying beyond the end of his contract in 2023.

"Haaland is an investment. I don't think he will go to Liverpool. With Haaland, I wouldn't rule out Real Madrid either. Maybe they will dip into their kitty a bit more in the summer and possibly get Haaland and Kylian Mbappe."

Cristiano Ronaldo's return to Manchester United was also put to the former Bayern CEO, who told a story from the Portuguese forward's time at Juventus.

"He is a phenomenon! He's 36 years old, he's played 20 years at this level," Rummenigge commented.

"He has an upper body like Adonis. I remember a situation when I was in Turin.

"He was standing behind a door with his hands in the air. I asked him: 'What are you doing?'

"And he said: 'I'm practising the celebration of my next goal...'"

Issued in 1598 by Henry IV of France to grant French Protestants (also known as Huguenots) equal rights with Catholics.*

The Edict of Nantes can be seen as a step towards freedom of religion, but it certainly was not complete freedom realized. It granted only basic rights of protection to the Protestants, not equal rights of worship and evangelical exercise. To Henry IV's credit, more would have scarcely been possible for the time. His goal was to end the disruptive and demoralizing deaths of French citizens, and avoid any further schism. Thus, it was a step toward tolerance in that it placed lives over religion, but a misstep in that it continued to place politics over freedom.

The events that led to the declaration of the Edict of Nantes (and arguably set up its revocation) began with the French Wars of Religion. These were some of the most calamitous to strike Europe from 1562-1598. Three opportunistic noble families (Guises in eastern France, the Bourbons in southern France, and the Montmorency-Chatillons in central France) took the opportunity of Francis II's young age at the time of his ascension to the throne in 1592 to make a simultaneous grab for the throne, resulting in considerable political turbulence. Eventually the Guises, the most fanatically Catholic of the three, effectively took control of the King and thereby the throne. The other two families became prominent leaders of the Protestant faction in France. The religious struggle between the Catholics on the throne and the rival Protestant families was overshadowed by the more real political struggle. Thus, what started as peaceful religious dissention devolved into a militaristic rift that was demolishing the political integrity of France. By 1598, ending the religious excuse for what bordered on a chaos of atrocity and genocide became a political necessity, making a decree such as the Edict of Nantes inevitable.

Part of the reason that the situation got so out of control was the death of Francis II after only a year on the throne. Because Charles IX, his younger brother, was too young to accept the throne, his mother Catherine de Medici took his place as Regent. Although she was Catholic, she resented the influence of the Guises over her and her son. In order to try and balance noble power in France, she played the Guises against their enemies the Bourbons and Montmorency-Chatillons. Foreshadowing future measures that would become necessary, she granted several concessions to the Huguenots, including the right to worship outside of towns. The balancing act of concessions and favors that Catherine was performing failed, however, when she aided the Guises in a botched assassination of Gaspard de Coligny, a Montmorency-Chatillon family member who was one of the major leaders of the French Huguenots. To avoid a Protestant uprising, Catherine was forced to aid the Guises in a campaign of genocide, murdering innocent and unarmed Protestant men, women and children. On August 24, 1572, the day before St. Bartholomew's Day, royal forces hunted down and executed over three thousand Huguenots, including Coligny, in Paris. Huguenot forces all over France rose up and took arms, and Henry III who had since succeeded his brother, tried to play both sides in the example of his mother. However, he was driven into exile by the Catholic League with the support of Spanish King Phillip II, where he struck up an alliance with his Huguenot cousin Henry of Navarre. Before the two Henrys could attack Paris, however, Henry the III was stabbed by a fanatical friar, and his cousin Henry of Navarre became Henry IV.

Although Henry IV was Protestant, he was what was called a Politique. He valued the political stability of France more than his religious affiliation. Thus, in order to secure the crown and ensure some measure of stability, Henry IV discarded his Protestant background and became Catholic. His immediate attention was concerned with two goals: stabilizing the conflict in France, and to a lesser degree, aiding his erstwhile compatriots the Huguenots. The Edict of Nantes accomplishes both of these objectives. Henry says in the opening lines of the Edict "we have finally surmounted the waves and made our port of safety-peace for our state." To maintain this peace, Henry delivers a somewhat simpleminded decree, effectively pleading with both sides to simply forget about the whole thing. He is also careful to not choose sides in doing this, and places no blame. He simply asks that "everything done by one party or the other between March, 1585, and our accession to the crown be obliterated and forgotten, as if no such things had happened." He it is important to remember that Henry was once a leader of the Protestants, tens of thousands of whom Catholic legions had very recently wiped out seemingly without mercy. In this light, his unbiased decree is remarkable, and indicative of remarkable level-headedness in the young king.

In addition, Henry is careful to first uphold the position of the Catholic Church as official national religion, to be completely protected in "the celebration of divine service, in the enjoyment or collection of tithes, fruits, or revenues of their benefices, and all other rights belonging to them." Thus Catholicism remains both protected and endorsed by the throne. This serves to soften the blow against the powerful Catholics in his next decree, which affords the "Reformed" a measure of protection in well. "In order to leave no occasion for troubles or differences between our subjects" Henry mandates that Reformed be allowed to remain unmolested in French cities, and uncompelled to act against their will in any matter of religion. This is the first part of the Edict that could accurately be described as religious toleration, in that it extends equal protection to both Catholics and Protestants. However, in the interest of placating the powerful French Catholic presence, the King does not uphold complete religious freedom. Henry makes an effort to keep the two factions somewhat segregated by forbidding the Reformed to practice any aspect of their religion except within specified zones, from which was excluded Paris and other dominantly Catholic cities and towns.

Thus, a power imbance and ingrained prjudice was allowed to remain in France, and eventually blossomed into distaster.

By request, here are some of the more important excerpts from the document itself:

Henry, By the Grace of God, King of France, and Navarre, To all Present, and to Come, greeteth. Among the infinite Mercies that God hath pleased to bestow upon us, that most Signal and Remarkable is, his having given us Power and Strength not to yield to the dreadful Troubles, Confusions, and Disorders, which were found at our coming to this Kingdom, divided into so many Parties and Factions, that the most Legitimate was almost the least, enabling us with Constancy in such manner to oppose the Storm, as in the end to surmount it, reducing this Estate to Peace and Rest; For which, to Him alone be given the Honour and Glory, and us the Grace to acknowledge our obligation, in having our Labours made use of for the accomplishing so good a work, in which it hath been visible to all, that we have not only done what was our Duty, and in our Power, but something more than at another time, would (peradventure) have been agreeable to the Dignity we now hold; as in not having more Care, than to have many times so freely exposed our own Life. And in this great concurrence of weighty and perillous Affairs, not being able to compose all at one and the same time, We have chosen in this order, First to undertake those who were not to be suppressed but by force, and rather to remit and suspend others for some time, who might be dealt with by reason, and Justice: For the general difference among our good Subjects, and the particular evils of the soundest parts of the State, we judged might be easily cured, after the Principal cause (the continuation of the Civil Wars) was taken away, in which we have, by the blessing of God, well and happily succeeded, all Hostility and Wars through the Kingdom being now ceased, and we hope he will also prosper us in our other affairs, which remain to be composed, and that by this means we shall arrive at the establishment of a good Peace, with tranquility and rest, (which hath ever been the end of all our vows and intentions) as all the reward we desire or expect for 80 much pains and trouble, as we have taken in the whole course of our Life. Amongst our said affairs (towards which it behooves us to have patience) one of the principal hath been, the many complaints we received from divers of our Provinces and Catholick Cities, for that the exercise of the Catholick Religion was not universally re-established, as is provided by Edicts or Statutes heretofore made for the Pacification of the Troubles arising from Religion; as also the Supplications and Remonstrances which have been made to us by our Subjects of the reformed Religion, as well upon the execution of what hath been granted by the said former Laws, as that they desire to have some addition for the exercise of their Religion, the liberty of their Consciences and the security of their Persons and Fortunes. . . . For this cause, acknowledging this affair to be of the greatest importance, and worthy of the best consideration, after having considered the papers of complaints of our Catholick subjects, and having also permitted to our Subjects of the Reformed Religion to assemble themselves by Deputies, for framing their complaints, and making a collection of all their Remonstrances; and having thereupon conferred divers times with them, viewing the precedent Laws, we have upon the whole judged it necessary to give to all our said Subjects one general Law, Clear, Pure, and Absolute, by which they shall be regulated in all differences which have heretofore risen among them, or may hereafter rise, wherewith the one and other may be contented, being framed according as the time requires: and having had no other regard in this deliberation than solely the Zeal we have to the service of God, praying that he would henceforward render to all our subjects a durable and Established peace. Upon which we implore and expect from his divine bounty the same protection and favour, as he hath alwayes visibly bestowed upon this Kingdom from our Birth, during the many years we have attained unto, and give our said Subjects the grace to understand, that in observation of this our Ordinance consisteth (after that which is their duty toward God and us) the principal foundation of their Union, Concord, Tranquility, Rest, and the Re-establishment of all this Estate in its first splendor, opulency and strength. . . .

6. And not to leave any occasion of trouble and difference among our Subjects, we have permitted and do permit to those of the Reformed Religion, to live and dwell in all the Cities and places of this our Kingdom and Countreys under our obedience, without being inquired after, vexed, molested, or compelled to do any thing in Religion, contrary to their Conscience, nor by reason of the same be searched after in houses or places where they live, they comporting themselves in other things as is contained in this our present Edict or Statute.

7. We also permit to all Lords, Gentlemen and other Persons, as well inhabitants as others, making profession of the Reformed Religion, having in our Kingdom and Countreys under our obedience, high Justice as chief Lord (as in Normandy) be it in propriety or usage, in whole, moiety, or third part, to have in such of their houses of the said high Justice or Fiefs, as abovesaid (which they shall be obliged to Nominate for their principall residence to our Bayliffs and chief Justice each in their jurisdiction) the exercise of the said Religion as long as they are Resident there, and in their absence, their wives or families, or part of the same. And though the right of Justice or whole Fief be controverted, nevertheless the exercise of the said Religion shall be allowed there, provided that the abovesaid be in actual possession of the said high Justice, though our Attorney Generall be a Party. We per mitting them also to have the said exercise in their other houses of high Justice or Fiefs abovesaid, so long as they shall be present, and not otherwise: and all, as well for them, their families and subjects, as others that shall go thither.

8. In the Houses that are Fiefs, where those of the said Religion have not high Justice, there the said Exercise of the Reformed Religion shall not be permitted, save only to their own Families, yet nevertheless, if other persons, to the number of thirty, besides their Families, shall be there upon the occasion of Christenings, Visits of their Friends, or otherwise, our meaning is, that in such case they shall not be molested: provided also, that the said Houses be not within Cities, Burroughs, or Villages belonging to any Catholick Lord (save to Us) having high Justice, in which the said Catholick Lords have their Houses. For in such cases, those of the said Religion shall not hold the said Exercise in the said Cities, Burroughs, or Villages, except by permission of the said Lords high Justices.

9. We permit also to those of the said Religion to hold, and continue the Exercise of the same in all the Cities and Places under our obedience, where it hath by them been Established and made publick by many and divers times, in the Year 1586, and in 1597, until the end of the Month of August, notwithstanding all Decrees and Judgments whatsoever to the contrary. . . .

16. Following the second Article of the Conference of Nerat, we grant to those of the said Religion power to build Places for the Exercise of the same, in Cities and Places where it is granted them. . . .

27. To the end to reunited so much the better the minds and good will of our Subjects, as is our intention, and to take away all complaints for the future; We declare all those who make or shall make profession of the said Reformed Religion, to be capable of holding and exercising all Estates, Dignities, Offices, and publick charges whatsoever, Royal, Signioral, or of Cities of our Kingdom, Countreys, Lands, and Lordships under our obedience, notwithstanding all Oaths to the contrary, and to be indifferently admitted and received into the same, and our Court of Parliament and other Judges shall content themselves with informing and inquiring after the lives, manners, Religion and honest Conversation of those that were or shall be preferred to such offices, as well of the one Religion as the other, without taking other Oath of them than for the good and faithful service of the King in the exercise of their Office. . . .

About the Book

Vijayanagara, once one of the mightiest Hindu empires, has now been reduced to a mere village. Through extensive research and restoration efforts, dedicated conservationists and the ASI have made every possible attempt to restore the lost brilliance of the Vijayanagara Empire. The splendid rocks and large boulders, together with the awe-inspiring royal architecture, confer on Hampi the rare accolade of being declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its natural beauty as well. Indeed, with the turbulent Tungabhadra river flowing on one side and rocks and boulders poised in an amazing balancing act, Hampi presents a sight to behold.

In Vijayanagara Empire acclaimed photographer Raghu Rai, through his passionate response to the site, takes the reader on a visual experience akin to being transported into the world the way it must have existed centuries ago. His photographs have an archival and ancient feel to them, and yet succinctly capture not only the depths and details of the ruins but also fleeting experiences. Though the grandeur evaporated some four hundred years ago, Raghu Rai's photographs and Usha Rai's words breathe life into the silent stones of history.

Best Italian Restaurant

Ristorante a Mano

Gold Winner Ristorante a Mano

Silver Winner Rinaldo's Italian American Specialities

Bronze Winner Il Mercato

Ristorante a Mano has a good thing going, says GM Patrick Gaetz. “We offer great traditional pastas, a cozy atmosphere—it’s probably the whole package, the consistency. We don’t make a lot changes because we know why change something that isn’t broken?” Just because the menu full of pizzas, pastas and Italian antipasti is too good to overhaul doesn’t mean the waterfront restaurant is adverse to change. Actually, much the opposite. You best get your Best Pasta in while you can because Ristorante a Mano will be closing its doors in January and February for a little makeover. “The food will remain the same but it’s just time to do a little bit of updating. We want things to remain familiar but we want to make sure we’re staying current, fresh and new.”

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is hopeful the team will conclude short-term transactions before midnight for Cedric Soares, Dani Ceballos, David Luiz, and Pablo Mari.

Premier League clubs have until midnight tonight to negotiate on short term contract extensions with players whose terms expire at the end of June.

Arsenal has four players falling under that group-with the loan arrangements for Ceballos, Cedric, and Mari expiring instead, with Luiz ‘s term ending on June 30. The team is currently focused on completing talks with all parties, but Arteta is optimistic that this will be done in due course.

He said in his press conference before the match: “The timing of it, and any of the procedural issues associated with it, was quite difficult. The club is attempting to finalize everything in the next few hours. We have no choice, we need to do something even more so, despite the accidents that we have suffered. To resolve this is what we are trying to do. I ‘m confident that we can. I hope they do.

Arsenal is looking to make Mari ‘s contract permanent after the player has been placed on loan by the Brazilian side Flamengo.

“I think there have been some procedural issues to solve there, but we also plan to retain it.”
