When will ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ season 14 premiere? – Blasting News

"Grey's Anatomy" season 13 may have only just finished two weeks ago, but fans are already looking for details about season 14.Just when will the show premiere on #ABC? Unfortunately, only CBS has released its fall 2017 schedule dates right now, but it shouldn't be too long before ABC follows suit. We can work out a rough date to pencil in your diary for now, and share all we know about "#Grey's Anatomy" season 14 so far.

Based on last season, a rough start date for season 14 will be September 28. We know that the show is definitely returning to its usual Thursday night 8 p.m. slot. Why change something that clearly isn't broken? It will also be the first of three Shonda Rhimes shows, with the final season of "Scandal" and then "How to Get Away with Murder" following on.

There is a lot of hype around one of Rhimes' newest planned shows. She plans to create a "Grey's" spinoff focused on firefighters, nicknamed "Seattle Fire." Very little is known about that so far.

One of the biggest storylines to focus on for "Grey's Anatomy" season 14 will be Megan Hunt's arrival. Previously believed dead, it turned out that Owen's sister and Riggs' ex-fiancee was actually held captive. She has been found and is now in Seattle for recovery.

This changes everything for our two doctors. Owen and Riggs are already suffering from the guilt of believing that she was dead. However, Owen still has issues with Amelia to discuss and those discussions can't happen now. Riggs had also started dating Meredith, but Meredith made it clear to put Megan first.

Throughout season 13, Maggie was in a love triangle without even knowing.

She liked Riggs, but Riggs and Meredith had already started hooking up. She'd only just gotten over the feeling of betrayal before finding out that Jackson is interested in her. This puts her in an awkward position again, as April clearly isn't happy with this development.

Fans aren't happy with the reveal that Jackson likes Maggie. For many fans, it came out of the blue and it means Jackson and April won't get back together, despite hooking up in Montana. It is possible this storyline will change direction based on the fan response.

"Grey's Anatomy" season 14 will likely return on September 28 or close to that date. It will definitely be back on Thursdays on ABC for the fall 2017 schedule. What do you think will happen in season 14?

The Anatomy of a BDS Campus Campaign – Algemeiner

Illustrative. Membersof GU F.R.E.E. protesting on campus. Photo: GU F.R.E.E. / Facebook.

Following dramatically different outcomes of boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) votes attwo California schools on last week, campus antisemitism and Israel advocacy experts spoke withThe Algemeinerto break down the anatomy of a BDS campus campaign.

With the University of California-Santa Barbara (UCSB) coming back with zero votes cast in favor of BDS, and California State University-Long Beach seeing 15 student representatives vote yes for the anti-Israel motion,Tammi Rossman-Benjamin founder of the campus watchdog AMCHA Initiative said there is a complicated calculus involved in each BDS push.

To her, the unanimous and unequivocal opposition to BDS of all of a campuss Jewish student organizations is a crucial factor inheading off the efforts of anti-Zionists.

May 16, 2017 3:02 pm

Weve seen a definite increase in the tactic of Jew splitting, where BDS activists find organizations like Jewish Voice for Peaceto run interference for them when they are accused of antisemitism, Rossman-Benjamin explained. So I think that when faced with an issue like BDS, we have to have the moral clarity to state that there is a red line and when you cross over it, the Jews will be standing on the other side, united, saying, No.

Rossman-Benjamin pointed to the letter of unified opposition produced at UCSB and signed by the campuss eight mainstream Jewish organizations as an element that was missing from the CSULB campaign against divestment.

In the letter, the groups including the campuss Hillel, Chabad, and the AEPi fraternity and sorority stated [w]e represent the broad consensus of Jewish opinion at UCSB, and they uniformly reject[ed] this one sided, counterproductive, and incredibly hurtful BDS resolution.

Anti-Zionism is highly dependent on making sure it is seen as separated from antisemitism, said Rossman-Benjamin, adding that her organization has tracked a trend in which BDS activists at a given campus will often host an explanatory antisemitism program often co-hosted with fringe Jewish groups in the days leading up to a divestment vote,to signal to people that they arent antisemites.

But if you want to see how the Jewish world really understands BDS, take a look at the people who signed a [2011] letter condemning the movement, Rossman-Benjamin said, referring to an international Stop BDS effortwhich gathered signatures from nearly 100representatives ofOrthodox, Conservative and Reform groups, Jewish fraternities and sororities and Israel advocacy organizations.

David Brog executive director of the Maccabee Task Force, a group formed in 2015 to combat demonization of Israel on campus said much of the success and failure of BDS at acampus can be attributed to what stage of pro-Israel activism students are at when the campaign is first launched.

[Zionist students at] UCSB last year realized that they shouldnt let student government rest in the hands of anti-Israel students, so they ran and won, and they got pro-Israel representatives on student government, he said.

Brog added that UCSBsHillel center has offered non-Jewish student leaders the opportunity to go on an educational mission to Israel, called a Fact Finders tour, an experience he said leaves many resistant to the BDS narrative.

CSULB, Brog noted, has devoted pro-Israel students who are eager to turn aroundthe environment that allowed BDS to pass, but they are earlierin that process of educating and changing the campus.

Meanwhile, Max Samarov the director of research and campus strategy for the StandWithUs education group said the different outcomes come down largely to a significant difference in campus demographics.

By percentage, UCSB has one of the largest Jewish populations in the UC system, and for years and years and years it has had a strong pro-Israel community, Samarov pointed out. CSULB has a strong pro-Israel presence but not nearly the same numbers.

Samarov said there have been situations where schools with small Jewish pops come together and defeat resolutions, but that the odds are harder to overcome.

According to Samarov, CSULB also contendedwith a very intense campaign of outside pressure, and what started as a debate between Long Beach students, was influenced by external, off-campus groups.

All this came together to create an atmosphere of overwhelming support for BDS and of intimidation [for those against it], he said.

Anatomy of an American shove: Breaking down the moment Trump pushed past Montenegro’s leader – National Post

Was it a shove? Or more of a brush or jostle. Or perhaps just a friendly slap on the arm, a casual guy-greeting.

In fact, shove was probably the most common word used to describe the fleeting, at best awkward interaction between Trump, the leader of the most powerful nation on Earth, and Dusko Markovic, the leader of Montenegro, a small Balkan nation of 600,000 attending its first summit as a NATO member after a nine-year accession process.

It occurred as NATO leaders strolled toward a group photo in Brussels.

According to the Merriam-Webster definition, shove is on target: to push along or to push or put in a rough, careless, or hasty manner.

Lets break it down.

A slow-motion viewing of the video indicates no words spoken by Trump as he approaches the group from behind. No Excuse me or Pardon me.

Trump reaches out his right arm, grabs Markovics right shoulder and pushes him aside. Markovic looks surprised. Trump doesnt acknowledge his existence as he moves past him. Its as if Markovic isnt there.

Markovic abruptly looks back at Trump but gets no eye contact from Trump in return.

Then he pats Trump on the back, or perhaps the arm, displaying a slight grin as Trump, at the front of the group, stands tall and adjusts his suit coat. Trump begins conversing with Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite as Markovic looks on from behind.

White House spokesman Sean Spicer later told reporters that spots for the family photo for which the leaders were preparing were predetermined, as is usually the case implying that Trump was not trying to get a better position, The Washington Post reported, but rather that he was heading for the position reserved for him.

But of course, where Trump was headed was not the issue. It was the way he got there.

Markovic, afterward, responded to questions by shrugging it off.

This was an inoffensive situation, Markovic said. I do not see it in any other way.

He said he had the opportunity Thursday to thank Trump personally for his support of Montenegros entry into NATO and of course the further development of our bilateral relations.

But, when journalists are differently commenting this scene, the prime minister said. I want to tell you that it is natural for the president of the United States to be in the first row.

Montenegrin news websites were brimming with articles describing how this minor exchange captured the attention of many major U.S. and European news outlets.

Some Montenegrin news outlets included headlines quoting author J.K. Rowling, who tweeted the video, saying You tiny, tiny, tiny little man along with a retweeted video depicting Trump as a small man.

Montenegrin radio station Antena M included a photo of Trump above the story with the words Days without being a national embarrassment: 0. (Thats the numeral zero.)

It seems Donald Trump did not want anyone overshadowing his presence at the summit, said the Montenegro newspaper Vijesti

Other Balkan websites ran headlines such as America First and Where do you think you are going?

As expected, the Trump shove captured the late-night shows.

The President Show on Comedy Central depicted an exaggerated scene, replacing the Montenegro prime minister with the secretary general of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg.

Excuse me, excuse me, get out of my way, the shows Trump says to the secretary general, pushing him aside as they walk into a press briefing. America first. America first.

Seth Meyers, host of Late Night With Seth Meyers, also riffed on the exchange, saying Look at this guy. Wow.

Youre a world leader at a meeting of dignitaries and you act like they just called your number at KFC, Meyers said.

Me, thats mine, the 12 piece, Meyers said, mimicking someone pushing and shoving others out of the way.

I want to tell you that it is natural for the president of the United States to be in the first row

Others on social media also viewed the shove as an attempt by Trump to revel in the spotlight and assert his America first mentality.

It did not go unmentioned that Trump brushed aside the leader of a country that last month defied Russia and pro-Russian opposition by ratifying its membership in NATO a historic turn toward the West.

The Balkan country is joining the alliance as its 29th member; Thursday was its first summit. Only 18 years ago, NATO aircraft were bombing targets in Montenegro then part of Serbia in a campaign that forced troops out of Kosovo, as the Guardians Alec Luhn reported. The bombing remains a painful memory for many Montenegrins, and polls have shown the population evenly divided on NATO membership.

Many hope NATO membership will end the tumultuous east-west struggle in Montenegrin politics, Luhn wrote.

With that tense history in mind, some on social media did not take Trumps gesture as the kindest welcome to the alliances new member.

Trump shoved Prime Minister of Montenegro at NATO meeting to please Putin, once again, said one Twitter user.

Others presumed Trump was simply moving to his assigned spot, and that the uproar over the shove or push was just another media dig at Trump.

As Dan Calabrese wrote in the Canada Free Press: Look, I understand theres a frenzy out there now to alert on anything and everything Trump does and to characterize it as insane, out-of-control, evil and whatever else. But if you see this and think you see a shove, I dont know what to tell you.

On the other hand, whatever it was, President Trumps treatment of Montenegros prime minister was a sharp contrast to say, the little curtsy he performed for King Salman bin Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia.

‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Sneak Peek: Alex Battles Eliza Over a Kid’s Rights – Yahoo TV (blog)

When it comes to the kids under his care, Dr. Alex Karev is as protective as a mama bear with her cubs. And as Greys Anatomy fans have seen before, hes willing to toe lines or even cross them to give them the best care.

But in this sneak peek from Thursdays new episode, Alex (Justin Chambers) runs into a new force of opposition Eliza Minnick (Marika Dominczyk). A boy named Liam comes into the hospital with a tumor, but his parents refuse surgery due to their religious beliefs.

The kid took a train all by himself to ask us for help, Alex pleads toEliza. Actual help, not prayers and olive oil on his head.

Eliza doesnt back down. No neurosurgeon will cut into a kids skull without parental consent, because its illegal, she replies.

And then, twisting the knife a bit, she notes that with his history assaulting DeLuca and almost going to prison for it perhaps he shouldnt be crossing any lines right now.

Greys Anatomy airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. on ABC.

Culture, Science & Faith Anatomy of a Smear Piece – Patriot Post

Thomas Gallatin Apr. 5, 2017

The Washington Post recently ran a story with the provocative headline, GOP lawmaker: The Bible says the unemployed shall not eat. The article referenced comments made during a House Agriculture Committee hearing over the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) a.k.a. food stamps. The original version of the article at least acknowledged that Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-TX) cited 2 Thessalonians 3:10 in a rebuttal to an expert witness a representative from the Jewish anti-hunger group MAZON, who made reference to a passage in Leviticus about feeding the hungry.

Yet the Washington Post didnt actually quote Arrington in its rush to indict and label him and Republicans as uncaring and out of touch with the needs of the poor at least not until later revisions were made. The article states, House Republicans have historically cited the verse if a man will not work, he shall not eat as justification for cutting some adults' SNAP benefits. Arrington referenced the verse in a discussion about increasing the work requirements for unemployed adults on the food stamp program. But critics say that advances a pernicious myth about the unemployed who receive SNAP.

The truth is it was the Washington Post that was actively attempting to advance a pernicious myth regarding both the intent and reasoning of Republicans and Rep. Arrington specifically. And they were exposed for it.

Shortly after the articles release, The Federalists Sean Davis called out the Beltway rag over its sloppy and biased reporting. Davis pointed out that the Post failed to quote Arrington and failed to properly apply the Biblical context of both Scripture references.

The Washington Post, evidently catching wind of criticism for its lackluster piece, responded by heavily editing the original article, including changing the headline to GOP lawmaker: The Bible says if a man will not work, he shall not eat, as well as adding Arringtons exact words.

Arrington said, I did hear, Mr. Protas [the MAZON representative], your opening remarks where you quoted Leviticus, I believe and I think thats a great reflection on the character of God and the compassion of Gods heart and how we ought to reflect that compassion in our lives. But theres also, you know, in the Scripture, tells us in 2 Thessalonians 3:10 he says, For even when we were with you we gave you this rule: If a man will not work, he shall not eat. And then he goes on to say, We hear that some among you are idle. I think that every American, Republican or Democrat, wants to help the neediest among us. And I think its a reasonable expectation that we have work requirements. I think that gives more credibility, quite frankly, to SNAP. Tell me, what is a reasonable and responsible work requirement as part of the SNAP program?

The Post truncates his last few sentences, but upon reading the updated and edited article, the papers dubious characterization of both Arrington and the Republicans loses credibility, showing more glaringly the articles original bias as being primarily an anti-Republican propaganda piece. So much for the Posts Democracy Dies in Darkness tripe.

This episode proves to highlight a couple of important points. First, the Post is as agenda-driven as ever. The leftist commitment of the paper is beyond question. There simply is no reasonable attempt at balanced reporting in the entire piece, even after the edits it was shamed into making.

Second, and far more important, the article exposed the fundamental disagreement between leftists and conservatives when it comes to understanding the role of government.

The U.S. has a long history arguing over the extent government should play in contributing to welfare. Historically, conservatives have long championed a limited government that allows taxpayers to keep more of their money so as to assist their needy family, friends and neighbors as they are able and see fit. Conservatives have correctly argued that massive government income redistribution programs create greater dependency and less individual responsibility. Often these welfare programs, no matter how well intentioned, prove to rob individuals of the needed motivation to work as they lose the initiative for self-reliance, one of the foundational keys to pursuing happiness.

Leftists, on the other hand, dont trust individuals to make wise enough decisions and see the federal governments role as primary in determining what is in the best interests of its citizens. Therefore, regarding problems like poverty, leftists see only a need for greater federal involvement, which of course translates into greater spending as well as loss of freedom. For leftists, statism is the only solution.

Arringtons statement and quotation of Scripture voiced a legitimate concern over the abuse of a system that provides food stamps designed as a safety net, not a free-for-all. The Bible does indeed place a high value on looking out for the needs of others, but it also spends a great amount of text on rebuking laziness, as well as condemning theft and deceit. Due to the propensity of mankind to act selfishly, individuals are often motivated by these base evil desires and take advantage of the generosity of others, be it the government or other individuals.

Essentially, the Washington Post condemns without offering any genuinely honest or thoughtful commentary over the realistic concerns voiced by conservatives regarding both the appropriate role of government and the attendant budgetary concerns. Nor does the Post even attempt to accurately portray the various Biblical statements.

Its quite evident that the Post is content to misconstrue and grossly misinterpret Christian teaching in an effort to shame all Republicans for not supporting excessive government welfare programs.

At the Washington Post, it is truth, not democracy, that is dying in darkness.

16 Reasons Why ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Needs a Romance Between Two Men – Wetpaint

Youd be hard-pressed to find a show more inclusive of Greys Anatomy did you see those docs wearing hijabs last week? but it still comes up short in one regard.

There are no major male characters who are into other men.

Its time that changed, and we have 16 reasons why.

Greys Anatomy Season 13 airs on Thursdays at 8 p.m ET on ABC.

Tip: Use keyboard arrows to navigate

None of the shows 13 seasons so far has featured a major gay male character, so this inclusion seems long overdue.

Characters like Callie, Arizona, Eliza, Penny, Erica, and Sadie have paved the way and countless Calzona shippers prove how well these same-sex storylines can work.

Just this season, for example, two male fiancs arrived at the hospital after a turkey fryer accident. (Culinary foolishness knows no sexual orientation, apparently.)

As Marketplace reports, the show has cashed in on the Netflix effect. That is to say, young viewers who were too young to be aware of Greys when it premiered in 2005 have discovered the shows past seasons on Netflix and have caught up to its live airings.

When a fan asked the Greys Anatomy creator Why all the gay and lesbian storylines? in 2012, she wrote a lengthy response.

I believe everyone should get to see themselves reflected on TV, she said.

As long as someone feels like it is okay to ask the question Why all the gay people on your shows, then there is still a huge problem that needs to be solved.

Gay and bisexual men play prominently in Scandal, How to Get Away With Murder, and The Catch.

In her capstone project, American University student Annie Kanter quoted a 23-year-old Greys fan singing its praises:

With Greys Anatomy, when there were lesbians, it was always like, Oh my god, there are lesbians on this show! People were threatening to stop watching it.

Now it has totally passed that. Now it is more of This is the gay couple on the show and eventually it will hopefully move to This is just another couple.

Gay men have been conspicuous by their absence, at least among the doctors, wrote one viewer.

Oh sure, theyll often have a gay male patient, whose partner will be allowed to give him an affectionate peck now and again. But gay male doctors ripping their clothes off and jumping on each other in the medical supply room? Nary a sign.

Just look at the reaction from right-wing site Newsbusters to the lesbian teen romance in Greys Anatomys Season 12 premiere:

Apparently the episode was titled Sledgehammer to indicate that they are going to beat us over the head with the same liberal themes all season long, the site wrote.

In its most recent Network Responsibility Index, GLAAD gave ABC a good rating, especially because the network had the highest volume of LGBT-inclusive content that year. That said...

Former Greys star Sara Ramirez has called out two regressive moments on ABC this year a joke targeting bisexual individuals in The Real ONeals and the exclusion of overtly-bisexual figures in When We Rise.

Remember when Callies love interest Erica Hahn walked into the hospital parking lot in Season 5 and was never seen again? Thats because actress Brooke Smith had been fired amid reports ABC execs wanted to de-gay the show.

Speaking of Greys Anatomy scandals, Isaiah Washington lost his role as Preston Burke in 2007 after referring to co-star T.R. Knight as a ft, which in turn forced T.R. to publicly come out as gay.

Even a decade later, none of us have forgotten about that on-set homophobic slur, but a male-male romance would help make the painful chapter a distant memory.

According to GLAADs 2016 Where We Are on TV report, 4.8 percent of the series regular characters expected to appear on broadcast scripted primetime programming in the coming year were identified as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer.

However, that statistic is low when you consider that 7 percent of millennials identify as LGBT, according to a recent study.

Recurring guest star Moe Irvin, for example, has appeared in 29 episodes, more than some of the shows full-time cast members.

Why cant Nurse Tyler have a bigger role and a male beau? (After all, he is the one who came up with the nickname McSteamy even before Mark Sloan arrived.)

But for that matter...

Characters with fluid sexuality are all the rage on TV, so dont take a major characters romantic history as proof of their sexual orientation.

Any of the shows single male docs DeLuca, for example, or even Nathan could explore his placement on the Kinsey scale.

Youd be hard-pressed to find a show more inclusive of Greys Anatomy did you see those docs wearing hijabs last week? but it still comes up short in one regard.

There are no major male characters who are into other men.

Its time that changed, and we have 16 reasons why.

The anatomy of a Street Fighter Eurogamer.net – Eurogamer.net

Capcom reveals the 20-year-old guide it still uses today.

By Wesley Yin-Poole Published 04/04/2017

Capcom has published scans of a 20-year-old guide it still uses today when creating Street Fighter characters.

That's Demitri Maximoff from Darkstalkers on the cover.

At GDC last month, Capcom's Toshiyuki Kamei delivered a talk on the art direction of Street Fighter 5. As part of it, he discussed Anatomy: A Strange Guide for Artists, a document created 20 years ago around the time Darkstalkers was being made.

This document was edited by legendary Capcom artist Akira "Akiman" Yasuda, who intended for it to help teach the company's artists the rules of exaggerated anatomical features to be followed when making cool-looking pixel art.

Now, Capcom has published scans of the guide on its website, and while the accompanying text is in Japanese, we still get a decent idea of what Anatomy: A Strange Guide for Artists is all about.

The cover shows Demitri from the Darkstalkers series, and inside we see figure drawings similar to the style of Andrew Loomis, the American illustrator, alongside notes.

"It explains shortcuts and rules about how we take musculature and a character's frame and make a sprite out of it," Kamei explained during his GDC talk.

"If you exaggerate this part of the musculature it looks cool, or if you make this part slimmer it can be more efficient in the visual language. There are a lot of different rules.

"Even though this is over 20 years old, having this information about what's important and not important is still used today."

Kamei revealed an example of how this guide was used in the creation of Street Fighter 5 characters.

"When you're looking at an arm from the front, the rule is the upper arm should be thinner than the lower arm," he explained. "But when looking at it from the side, that same arm should look narrow in the forearm and wider for the upper arm.

"By following this one rule you can convey a lot of information about how this character is extending their arm, whether they're doing a straight punch or an uppercut in a really short amount of time."

Capcom created a Street Fighter 5 prototype that used photo-realistic visuals and realistic proportions, but found it made the game harder to play, so it stuck with a more exaggerated style for the game.

It's really cool to see scans of Anatomy: A Strange Guide for Artists, and get a peek behind the curtain of how Capcom's fighting games are made. Credit to Akiman, then, for his early days work on establishing the rules that would help in the creation of fighting games for the next 20 years.

Michelangelo’s Medici Chapel may contain hidden symbols of … – Phys.Org

April 4, 2017 Highlight showing the sides of the tombs containing the bull/ram skulls, spheres/circles linked by cords and the shell (A). Note the similarity of the skull and horns to the uterus and fallopian tubes, respectively (B). The shell contained in image A clearly resembles the shell contained in Sandro Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus" (1483), Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence, Italy (C). Image B of the uterus and adnexa from Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy with permission Philadelphia: Elsevier. Credit: Clinical Anatomy

Michelangelo often surreptitiously inserted pagan symbols into his works of art, many of them possibly associated with anatomical representations. A new analysis suggests that Michelangelo may have concealed symbols associated with female anatomy within his famous work in the Medici Chapel.

For example, the sides of tombs in the chapel depict bull/ram skulls and horns with similarity to the uterus and fallopian tubes, respectively.

Numerous studies have offered interpretations of the link between anatomical figures and hidden symbols in works of art not only by Michelangelo but also by other Renaissance artists.

"This study provides a previously unavailable interpretation of one of Michelangelo's major works, and will certainly interest those who are passionate about the history of anatomy," said Dr. Deivis de Campos, lead author of the Clinical Anatomy article. Another recent analysis by Dr. de Campos and his colleagues revealed similar hidden symbols in Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel.

Anatomy of the fall (an update) – Marcus Padley – Livewire Markets

You are supposed to use a log scale on a share price chart if looking at charts over a long period of time. The basic explanation is that a log chart shows two equivalent percentage price changes represented by the same vertical distance on the scale and to accommodate that the distance between the numbers on the scale decreases as the price of the asset increases.

I read one article this morning talking about the Historic coronavirus correction. This is a 100-year chart of the Dow Jones using a normal price scale. The 1929 Crash and the 1987 Crash, because they were so long ago when the index was just a few hundred points, are now considered, on this chart, irrelevant.

But if you lived through 1929 or 1987 they were not irrelevant, they were disastrous. To illustrate that you use a log chart. Here is the same chart using a log scale. Suddenly the 1929 Crash and the 1987 Crash are in perspective to how devasting it was. And suddenly the Coronavirus Correction is in perspective.

Sorry, but the Coronavirus Correction is hardly historic. Not yet anyway.

ANATOMY OF THE FALL

I wrote an article at the beginning of last week called the Anatomy of the Bounce which included a look at the stocks that had fallen the most and were (presumably) likely to bounce the most on a relief rally.

At the time the ASX 200 had dropped 13.23% from top to bottom and was clearly about to bounce. It bounced 4.47% from the low that day to the top the next day. Since then it has fallen another 15.10% to yesterdays low.

As of Trumps speech yesterday the markets have bounced for the second time in this correction. He has belittled the coronavirus saying 25,000 to 70,000 people die in the US from influenza every year and the countrys infrastructure doesnt have to grind to a halt because of it, so why now for a few hundred cases. His speech started to turn things glass half full. When he started speaking our market rallied 7.23% from the low yesterday to the high yesterday.

With a little bit of optimism we start focusing on the better news. Things start to look more glass half full for the first time in three weeks. The cases in China have (apparently) peaked and fallen, Xi is brave enough to visit Wuhan, and the publication of the mortality rates so far suggest the problem is minor for those without pre-existing medical conditions that are under 70.

And the US market rallied 5.5% from its low the day before to the close last night.

Here is the anatomy of the fall using daily candles on the ASX 200:

PERSONAL OPINION

Personal opinion (guesswork) is that we have a typical Trump inspired moment of groundless confidence, another moment of hollow market manipulation. And thats the depth of this bounce. Its hollow, its short term and its not fundamental.

Looking at the real news we have the Qantas impact, the oil war, Italy closed (a whole country closed). And we have a host of downgrades in the pipeline. Theyre coming. BHP have told us they are coming.

BHP said in its recent results statement For 12 months ahead, we assess directional risks to prices across our portfolio are mixed, with the coronavirus outbreak a major source of uncertainty If this viral outbreak is not demonstrably well contained within the March quarter, we expect to revise expectations for economic and commodity demand growth downwards. BHP is warning us that it is cum a profit warning if coronavirus doesnt disappear by the end of this Q (it hasnt). And if BHP is on alert you can imagine the earnings issues for other companies that are more directly exposed.

There are hundreds of companies globally that are yet to publish specific COVID-19 affected earnings guidance, and in Australia we can expect a rash of earnings downgrades as companies get to the end of March and confess to the impact. Downgrades are in the pipeline not just in the travel, tourism, education and cyclical sectors, but in the US, Europe and the rest of the world. Apple, German car manufacturers, its significant and unquantified, the extent of the profit cost is yet to be exposed.

Meanwhile, in Australia, since the results season all the research is brand new and up to date for the February results but is coronavirus unaffected. Its out of date already. At the moment, out of 417 stocks covered by broker research in Australia 286 are trading more than 10% below the average broker target price (over 10% 'cheap'). 94 are trading more than 30% below the average broker target price. Broker research generally does tend to be optimistic but this is out of whack - the research is behind reality and the earnings numbers and target prices need updating.

In which case this Trump bounce appears to be an injection of hollow confidence rather than the representation of a factual improvement in the coronavirus outlook. A real negative economic impact in the first Q is now in the bag, inevitable, the RBA and FOMC rate cuts make that clear, and the debate is not about blind confidence its about how long and deep the economic damage ends up being beyond Q1. And thats still an unknown. In which case any market buying today is speculative at best.

The Marcus Today Team (we run around $40 million of client funds) discussed selling into it this morning (we already have 56% cash and are definitely not buying yet) but decided wed see if it could develop some momentum first, we are due a more material reversal than the last one.

Greys Anatomy season 16: 5 best moments from Life on Mars? – Netflix Life

Greys AnatomySeason 16 chugs along with Episode 17 after it broke our hearts with the disappointing Alex Karev episode. I dont even want to get into that so lets just focus on this episode, shall we? This biggest focus was learning who the father of Amelias baby was.

I wont give it away just yet, but lets just say that now that its out there, we canfinally move on. I think that is something thatGreys Anatomyhas really struggled with this season. In fact, there are certain arcs that they simply cant stop repeating or getting stuck on. Case in point? Owen.

Will that guyever catch a break? I mean, does everyone have to be his kid? And can he never just have a storyline where he finds true love and it stays that way?

Im clearly still processing the letdown of the last Greys Anatomy episode, and there is still a lot of saltiness towards it. But I am annoyed over Owens story, and I just want the guy to have a happy ending, and I truly believed he almost had it this season.

Anyway, if youre eager to find out what happens with Owen, and who Amelias baby daddy is, lets get right into it below!

After episodes and episodes of the back and forth over who Amelias baby daddy is, we finally know!Greys Anatomy revealed it to us in the final moments of this weeks episode, and I have to say, I am happy with the result after the above rant.

If you havent seen the episode and have gotten down this far in the review, then now is the time to turn away before all is spoiled.

And the title of Daddy goes to

LINK!

Luckily, before Amelia reveals this to him, Link shows up at her doorstep declaring his love for her and saying he wants to be with her and the baby, regardless of if he is the father or not. Way to go, Link, you have won all around.

Congrats to the adorable couple and their future family, my heart is definitely content with how this all played out.

While one couple has figured out their happily ever after, another struggles to achieve it regardless of everything theyve been through. And I have to say, I dont blame Teddy 100% for this, but I sort of do. Owen has shown his devotion to her, but at the same time, hes always going to have a soft spot for Amelia because of their past.

There was a lot of confusion over whether or not Owen knew about the big question mark that was Amelias baby daddy, but Teddy got an inkling based on her own intuition and some hinting from Maggie. Instead of talking to Owen about it (for reasons I do and dont understand), she went to Koracick and slept with him.

Yup. That happened.

And when she finallydoes talk to Owen and he learns that he could potentially be the father, he pauses after Teddy asks what it means for them. Not the best time to take a pause, BUT, he did just get a truth bomb dropped on him and she needed to give him a minute to process.

And then she went to sleep with Koracick again.

It is the end of days. Richard Weber is officially walking away from surgery, and my heart is broken.Greys Anatomy just keeps killing us with the brutal hits. Will it ever stop!?

This has been a rough season for Richard, especially with his marriage with Catherine (another botched storyline, in my opinion). Theyre pretty much over, and shes been extremely petty through it all. Its disappointing to see what lengths she went to make him feel miserable, but alas, here we are.

It has brought Richard to a point where hes ready to walk away from the one thing that defined him. Im heartbroken, as Im sure many of you are. But what hurts the most, perhaps, is seeing Baileys reaction to it.

Richard is her mentor, and always has been, and with him gone, its going to hit her hard.

Its tough to see that Jo isnt quite grasping the fact that Alex is gone, at least thats how I feel. I think its so hard to really understand what has happened, but my heart breaks for. And Im stillso angry over how it all went down.

This episode ofGreys Anatomy hones in on Merediths loss over losing her best friend. She feels really conflicted because her second my person is gone. And he just up and left, which if I was her, I would be livid over how he did.

Its an episode of facing the things these characters have lost, and it will likely lay out what is going to happen in the episodes to come.

Ugh, Jackson is the worst. I have gradually become more and more annoyed with him over these last few seasons. Hes not the best in relationships, and his latest one with Vic is just another example of why the should just be single for a while until he figures things out.

I LOVE how Vic puts him in his place during this episode after he whines about her moving in with him, and then after he tells her to leave, he gets mad at her for moving in with Dean. Make up your mind, boyyou cant have everything the way you want!

Anyone else feel like sayingLike mother, like son.

Vic has had enough of the Jackson shenanigans and drops the Bye, Jackson on him real quick. Good for you, girl, GOOD FOR YOU!

Greys Anatomy season 17: Is Greys Anatomy coming to an end? One star thinks so – Express

He added: As I move on from Greys Anatomy, I want to thank the ABC family, Shonda Rhimes, original cast members Ellen Pompeo, Chandra Wilson and James Pickens, and the rest of the amazing cast and crew, both past and present, and, of course, the fans for an extraordinary ride.

In a number of letters sent to loved ones including his wife Dr Jo Wilson (Camilla Luddington) and lifelong friend Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), he said he was back in touch with ex-wife Dr Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl).

They had got back in touch after Meredith was on trial for insurance fraud and during their conversations, he discovered there was something she hadnt told him.

Before she left the series, Izzie had cancer and so, just in case she couldnt have children one day, her and Alex froze embryos and when she left the hospital, decided to use them.

The pair had twin five-year-old children together so he opted in to stay with his new family on a farm in Kansas, leaving his wife and the hospital behind.

‘Grey’s Anatomy’ reveals why Alex Karev left. Fans are not …

And then there was one.

ABCs long-running medical drama Greys Anatomy said goodbye to reformed bad boy Dr. Alex Karev, played by Justin Chambers, on Thursday. The network also posted a video retrospective of the characters time on the show to YouTube.

Chambers departure leaves Ellen Pompeos dark and twisty protagonist Meredith Grey as the last of the five central characters then surgical interns still on the show, which launched in 2005. (Chandra Wilson, as no-bull chief of surgery Miranda Bailey, and James Pickens Jr., as eminence grise James Webber, are the only other original cast members to remain.)

In the episode, titled Leave a Light On, Karev sends four handwritten letters to his wife and hospital colleague, Jo (Camilla Luddington); Meredith; Bailey; and Webber. He explains that he has left Jo for his old flame, Izzie Stevens (played by original cast member Katherine Heigl). He also reveals that he and Izzie have twins together, conceived with frozen embryos after her character left the show in Season 6. Until last week, Jo and viewers were under the impression that Karev was visiting his aging mother in Iowa.

The reaction of fans on social media ranged from disbelief to fury, with a number threatening to quit Greys entirely this is its 16th season on-air. The response was reminiscent of another abrupt exit, similarly cobbled together after an actor left the show for greener pastures: the death of Dan Stevens Matthew Crawley in a car crash in Downton Abbey.

Chambers unexpectedly announced his departure from the series in January, saying in a statement to The Times that he hoped to diversify my acting roles and career choices. His last appearance on the show came in Novembers My Shot, which featured patients from the annals of Greys coming to Merediths defense as she vied to protect her medical license.

It is nearly impossible to say goodbye to Alex Karev, showrunner and executive producer Krista Vernoff said in a statement Thursday. That is as true for me and for all of the writers at Greys Anatomy as it is for the fans. We have loved writing Alex. And we have loved watching Justin Chambers nuanced portrayal of him. For 16 seasons, 16 years, we have grown up alongside Alex Karev. We have been frustrated by his limitations and we have been inspired by his growth and we have come to love him deeply and to think of him as one of our very best friends. We will miss him terribly. And we will always be grateful for his impact, on our show, on our hearts, on our fans, on the world.

Chambers is not the first performer to leave Greys suddenly in the course of its run. See: Heigl, Isaiah Washington and Patrick McDreamy Dempsey.

Fans of the series had speculated about Karevs fate since the news broke in January that Chambers final episode had already aired a number with consternation over what they saw as his mistreatment. Even before Thursdays shocker, the frustration with the way the character was being written off the show gave rise to the Twitter hashtag #JusticeForKarev. The scale and suddenness of the episodes revelations are unlikely to quiet that criticism: After all, until Leave a Light On, the characters disappearance had largely been marginal to the series plot, save for an episode last month in which Jo compares her situation to a bear attack in which a mans severed nose is sewed into his arm for safekeeping.

Art Anatomy – Welcome

Hi, I'm Franklin Einspruch. Welcome to Art Anatomy. Get started here, or read on.

I'm an artist and writer, and I've had a two-decade career in teaching at the university level, spanning a wide range of topics from traditional art to web development. (I believe that I'm unique in having taught college courses in both Renaissance painting methods and MySQL.) That combined knowledge brings this book to you.

I spent many of those years teaching figure drawing, including anatomy for figure drawing. Anatomy is a hard topic for art students, who often find the technical language and necessity for memorization off-putting. This is understandableif they were comfortable with that sort of thing, they likely would have gone into another field. But as such, I've never been entirely satisfied with the available books on the topic. Most of them are too comprehensive, don't help enough with the terminology, and don't go far enough into the why of anatomy. So you can locate the medial epicondyle of the humerus on the figure by sight; what do you do with that?

This book, in contrast, is a minimalist introduction to anatomy, written with the artist in mind, and written with the artist's mind in mind. I concentrate exclusively on forms that can be seen on the surface, rendering the medical language plain, and I discuss at length how to use an understanding of anatomy to draw better. By all means, investigate further once you gain a handle on this material, but start here.

This book is designed to evolve. Because of the way it's set up, I can revise it at will, so if you think I could explain something better, please contact me and I'll do so.

Illustrations are forthcoming. I'm going to start with photographs, then add drawings, and then add 3D models, interactive graphics, and video demonstrations as time goes on. To keep up with these additions and any other developments, subscribe to the email list and follow Art Anatomy on Twitter @art_anatomy.

I'm available to teach individual, group, and online classes. I've also lectured widely. If you'd like to schedule something, get in touch.

Drawing, like all of life's higher pleasures, is an exacting pursuit. I hope Art Anatomy furthers you along your road. Proceed to the table of contents or dive right in.

Best,

Franklin

The Anatomy of the Fiscal Year 2020 Budget – TheJambar.com

By Amanda Joerndt

Youngstown State Universitys Fiscal Year 2020 Operating Budget showcases an overall 2.1% increase, $3,785,228, from the previous fiscal years budget.

Neal McNally, vice president of finance and business operations, said the budget is handled with the universitys overall financial health in mind at a YSU Board of Trustees meeting Dec. 4.

We think in order for the trustees to exercise their responsibility, we need to manage the overall finances of the university in such a way to ensure a balanced budget, McNally said.

YSU student wages and faculty labor agreements per the Ohio Education Association are two categories that fall under Provost Brien Smiths budget.

McNally said funds are assigned accordingly when departments request various actions in the budget.

The department chairs will bring requests to the deans, the deans would take the budget requests to the provost and typically those requests want to increase the number of faculty or they may have a retirement in one department, he said.

McNally said a portion of the provosts budget is almost exclusively tied to the labor agreements, particularly for faculty, resulting in a total of $693,147 allocated dollars for Ohio Education Association labor agreements, according to the Fiscal Year 2020 Operating Budget.

We have a three-year labor agreement for the faculty union, which is the Ohio Education Association, and their salary went up about 2.5% this year, McNally said. If weve hired somebody, were committed to covering their salary and benefits.

John Jakubek, a YSU Board of Trustees member, said some smaller variations in the budget dont always have to get approved through the board.

We dont have to approve each and every one of them, but the actual budget every year we do, he said.

Jakubek said having a shared governance is the most important step when having open communication with different departments.

I think when you look at the strategic plan thats being put together and so forth, we have to align the strategy, what we need to accomplish and the dollars that we have and how we can best use those dollars to achieve those goals. Shared governance plays a big part in that, Jakubek said.

Additionally, the Ohio minimum wage increased from $8.55 to $8.70 in January 2020, and according to McNally, the university plans to adjust to the increase through hiring fewer students or having students work fewer hours to manage the budget.

Appendix C of the Fiscal Year 2020 Operating Budget states graduate assistants that work for the STEM department receive a stipend of $10,000 and graduate assistants in all other departments at the university receive a $7,500 stipend.

According to McNally, there was a need to create a differential to respond to the market.

Thats pertinent for STEM because I guess theres a lot more opportunities in places like the Youngstown Business Incubator and America Makes that could really benefit from some of our graduate engineering students, McNally said.

Nico Lucarelli, adjunct STEM faculty member, said although student wages may be differential, he believes the compensation for STEM graduate assistants is fairly balanced.

Graduate assistants, like other student employees, are allowed to work a maximum of 20 hours on teaching assistant-related jobs, Lucarelli said. Balancing coursework, research, thesis writing and a full 20 hours of grading a week can be quite difficult.

According to Lucarelli, his time as a graduate assistant was focused on engaging with students and performing engineering experiments.

I was also able to serve as an instructor for a few labs, which went a long way in developing public speaking skills as well as getting more familiar with laboratory equipment and practices, Lucarelli said. STEM GAs [graduate assistants] definitely earn the stipend they receive with the workload and responsibilities they have.

According to McNally, the operating budget has not seen any kind of wiggle room in the last 20 years.

This is not uncommon in a public university, McNally said. Since were public, were not really expected to have a big margin or profit. You typically will see break-even budgets with public entities and our revenues are just about right at our expenses.
