3 Random Facts About Myself…

If you get this, answer with three random facts about yourself and send it to the last seven blogs in your notifs! Anon or not, doesn’t matter…

I eat according to my blood type, which means I drink lactose-free milk and mainly consume chicken or beef.

I love rebuilding and decorating houses in Sims 3.

Irréversible (2002) and American History X (1998) are movies that I never want to watch again.

Social Media Research Paper

I will be discussing how social media has changed our view of ourselves.  Basically how social media has affected self-image. I will be talking about how because everyone post perfect pictures of themselves on Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat and Twitter, people of self-conscience of how they look.  What they don’t see is the not perfect people and on social media people can pose for a photo to make themselves look different than they look in real life.  Also people now use photoshop to alter images they post on social media.  I will be referencing “The Role of the Media in Body Image Concerns Among Women: A Meta-Analysis of Experimental and Correlational Studies” written by Selby Grabe, L. Monique Ward and Janet Shibley Hyde.

305 US Climate Mayors commit to adopt, honor and uphold Paris Climate Agreement goals

STATEMENT FROM THE CLIMATE MAYORS IN RESPONSE TO PRESIDENT TRUMP’S WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PARIS CLIMATE AGREEMENT

The President’s denial of global warming is getting a cold reception from America’s cities.

As 305 US Mayors representing 61 million Americans, we will adopt, honor, and uphold the commitments to the goals enshrined in the Paris Agreement. We will intensify efforts to meet each of our cities’ current climate goals, push for new action to meet the 1.5 degrees Celsius target, and work together to create a 21st century clean energy economy.

We will continue to lead. We are increasing investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency. We will buy and create more demand for electric cars and trucks. We will increase our efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions, create a clean energy economy, and stand for environmental justice. And if the President wants to break the promises made to our allies enshrined in the historic Paris Agreement, we’ll build and strengthen relationships around the world to protect the planet from devastating climate risks.

The world cannot wait — and neither will we.

“The Two Mrs. Coopers” ~ November 4, 1950

Synopsis ~ It’s Liz’s birthday and she wants to forget all about it but she doesn’t want George to forget it!  George mistakenly thinks that it is his mother’s birthday and buys her present which Liz thinks is for her. But then he realizes that he has invited his mother’s friends over for a surprise party!

[On all known sources, this episode and “Liz’s Birthday” (November 25, 1950) are the same program. It is likely that one or the other has been lost. Because the titles might fit both programs, there is no consensus on which is lost and which is extant!]

“Vacation from Marriage”* ~ November 11, 1950

Basis for "Vacation from Marriage" (ILL S2;E6) of “I Love Lucy”

“Liz Goes to Night School” ~ November 18, 1950

 Synopsis ~ Liz’s arithmetic skills are so bad, George sends her to night school where she somehow winds up in a math contest.

“Liz’s Birthday” ~ November 25, 1950

[This episode and “The Two Mrs. Coopers” are often listed as the same program. It is likely that one or the other has been lost. Because the titles might fit both programs, there is no consensus on which is lost and which is extant!]

“Marrying Off Peggy Martin” ~ December 2, 1950

Synopsis ~ Liz tries to play matchmaker for Peggy Martin with one of George’s clients, but both the client and George think that Liz is going after the guy for herself.

Synopsis ~  Liz wants a mink coat from George, so she pretends to be sick in order to get his sympathy - and the coat!  George is on to her tactics, and decides to give her the scare of her life - literally!

“Liz Substitutes in a Club Play” ~ January 6, 1951

“The Cuckoo Clock Conspiracy” ~ January 13, 1951

Synopsis ~ Liz bought George’s Christmas present, a cuckoo clock, with a rubber check, and now she needs to figure out a way to make good on it so the store owner won’t repossess the clock.

In part, basis for “The Kleptomaniac” (ILL S1;E27)

“Liz Exaggerates” ~ January 20, 1951

Synopsis ~ Liz’s exaggerations become so bad that George cuts off her allowance until she can prove that she can consistently tell nothing but the truth. George finds her promise is kept, not wisely, but too well.

In order not to be confused with the earlier episode “The Absolute Truth” (January 28, 1949), the script never uses the word “lie” - just “exaggerate”. Both of these episodes were combined for “Lucy Tells The Truth” (ILL S3;E6)

“George is Drafted - Liz’s Baby” ~ January 27, 1951

Synopsis ~ George gets a letter asking him to serve on the local draft board, and Liz thinks he’s been drafted.  George thinks Liz’s emotional state is because she is having a baby!

Costa Blanca South Bowls Roundup

EL RANCHO BOWLS CLUB On Monday morning the Pintos entertained a very welcome and friendly Toreadors from Monte Mar. We had a splendid morning’s bowls; even the losing rink thoroughly enjoyed the match. The play was closer than the score might indicate, with the Pintos taking 4 rinks and the overall shots. Meanwhile the Palominos were at Country Bowls taking on a strong Flamingos, who proved to be too good on their home mat. But it’s all a learning curve and sometimes you are up against too strong an opponent. Flamingos took all the available points with the palominos fielding a rink short. In the afternoon, the Raiders were at Emerald Isle playing their Saturns and turned in a good effort, in taking 2 rinks losing the overall shots by just one. A good result at Emerald Isle. On Friday morning the Mustangs were playing the Lanzadores at Vistabella and came away without a point, the Lanzadores proving to be too strong on their own mat, winning comfortably. But as much as we all like to win, it was a pleasant way to spend the morning and Lanzadores deserved their win. The Raiders were at home entertaining Montemar Toreadors and put in a good effort all round, taking 2 rinks and losing the overall shots by a small margin. The Rangers were at home to Country Bowls Cubs and played well taking 2 rinks and losing the overall shots by just one, not a bad effort.

HORADADA BOWLS CLUB BY IRENE GRAHAM A much better week all round for the Horadada club.  On Monday in the Discovery Division we were away to Mazarron Mariners.  A very closely fought match with only 1 or 2 shots difference in 4 of the rinks.  The 5th rink was a bit different giving Mazarron the overall shots.  This was a great boost for the Falcons especially playing away from home.  Our three winning rinks were: Jenny Davis, Peter Davis and Terry Hucknall 19 -18 Irene Graham, Mark Jukes and Bryan Eatough 17 – 16 Debbie Perryman, John Goddard and Sheila Westwood 18 -16 The final result was shots for Horadada 80.  Shots against 87 giving both teams 6 points each. Three matches remaining Falcons, all played at home.  The next match is against the team that is below us in the table.  Let’s start our great finally by making this one count. On Friday the Royals were away to Quesada Swans.  The match commenced by everyone stripping off layers as it was a really warm morning!  I could see our captain Jack Linehan biting a few finger nails as some of the rinks were close scoring and one of the rinks was trailing miserably.  As the match progressed the close scoring rinks went back and forth and as often happens in bowls it was a game of two halves.  The trailing rink managed to turn it around and this time the Royals came out on top.  One of the rinks only lost by one shot so all-in-all a good day for the Royals.  Our three winning rinks were: John Goddard, Mick Kirby and Bryan Eatough 20 -14 Irene Graham, Alan Miller and Terry Hucknall 29 – 13 Ken Barber, Mark Jukes and Roy Thomson 22 – 8 The final result being 99 shots for Horadada and 77 against giving us much needed 8 points to 4 against.  The Royals have two matches left to play and again both are at home.  The next match is against the team who are below us in the table so to ensure safety let’s go for it Royals and get a clean sweep. Very well played to all our team members on both days and keep ‘em bowls a rollin’ Horadada. Horadada offers a warm welcome to new or experienced bowlers, and provides the necessary equipment.  Our roll-up days for this friendly club are Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday mornings.  Please contact Fred Trigwell on 659139129 for more information. LA MARINA BOWLS CLUB WITH CHRIS BOULD Monday 04-03-19 the Explorers were at home to Quesada Diamonds. Points for 8 and 4 against. Shots were 96  for and 71 against.

The Swifts returned to Montemar this week to face the Matadors. It was a nail-biting match with 3 of the rinks decided on the last end. The Swifts managed a win and with the points 8-4 this means the Swifts will hold on to their 2nd place in the league.

In the Federated 4’s Quesada Panthers had an incredibly close and competitive match against San Luis Ospreys.

While the Carolinas and other southeastern American states prepare for this week’s arrival of monster storm Florence, countries in the Eastern Caribbean sub region were bracing for the passage of Tropical Storm Isaac as the 2018 hurricane season approaches its peak.

So far several air carriers, including American Airlines and Antigua-based commuter carrier LIAT have either cancelled flights or rearranged schedules for Thursday and Friday as the storm approaches the Leeward Islands and will head north to other Caribbean Community nations.

Forecasters have downgraded it from a hurricane in the past 24 hours but have warned that warm open sea waters and other conditions at this time of the year are ideal for re-strengthening so the entire sub-region and those north of it should remain on alert.

Taking no chances following the level of destruction wrought on the region mega by Storms Irma and Maria last year, the Barbados-based Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA) and other agencies were in full preparation mode and the British Government moved a relief and rescue ship to Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean this week ahead of Isaac’s arrival on Thursday and Friday. The ship docked in Bridgetown on Tuesday.

“We have come to Barbados to refuel and top up our stores, before we position ourselves to render assistance wherever it might be needed,” Barbados Today online service quoted Captain Peter Selby, commander of the Mounts Bay as saying as the vessel tops up supplies before heading out to countries like Dominica and others in the direct path of Isaac.

The ship has onboard several pieces of heavy duty equipment including tractors, trucks, quad bikes, all terrain vehicles, food, water and other supplies for distribution should the need arise.

British envoy Janet Douglas said everyone remembers the disastrous 2017 storm season and the level of destruction if brought to the Caribbean so “to have Mounts Bay on standby is hugely reassuring. Her presence confirms the UK’s ongoing commitment to the region.”

Meanwhile, schools were ordered closed in Dominica for Thursday and Friday as a precaution in and island where more than 90 percent of the buildings and infrastructure was damaged by category five Hurricane Maria last year.

“We will close the schools tomorrow because we want to take precautionary measures. We expect rain tomorrow and I have been advised based on the weather reports that during this storm, we expect up to 10 inches of rain in the country and we do not want to have a situation where we allow our students to come in for an hour, two hours and have to rush them back to their homes,” Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit said.

The current path projection is for Isaac to pass over still traumatized Dominica late Thursday, meaning that island below it or to the south will get a tastes of her earlier in the day. The entire area is expected to be inundated with heavy rains, as much as up to 10 inches forecasters say.

Island hopper airline, LIAT meanwhile, cancelled or rescheduled dozens of flights for Thursday and Friday, especially those leaving from its Barbados hub and headed north to Antigua, Puerto Rico, St. Kitts and other destinations.

Far north in Jamaica, the island and its thousands of tourists have been asked to remain on alert with Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Jackie Bisasor-McKenzie telling the nation that “we have been getting our supplies in place to make sure that we have tarpaulins, raincoats, things to supply the hospitals and the regions in case it is needed. In terms of our vehicles, we keep a constant check on what is available to ensure that we know when something is needed for transportation and we know exactly where they are and how it is that we communicate,” she said.

In neighboring Bermuda and the Bahamas, these two are monitoring both Florence and Isaac, Florence in particular as this category four storm is much closer to their general geographic area than any other.

Bahamian authorities say Cat Island, Abaco and Eleuthera could be affected as they urged people to stay away from beaches and to take precautions.
