Hi Everyone,
Many of you may know that I spent many years as a featured columnist for the old NIagara Falls Reporter and that I penned the bestseller Buffalo Soul Lifters. My first novel, the crime thriller NIagara Falls Into Darkness, was recently released and is receiving rave reviews.
The story takes place on both sides of the border at NIagara Falls. A madman serial killer, known only as “Law,” is taking lives and demanding changes all in the name of his murderous campaign. Newspaper Editor Mick O’Malley and Police Detective Sally Wendt are the only two with a chance of catching him before he kills again.
Here is the Amazon link where you can read a few sample chapters (where it says “Look Inside”) or, if you are inclined, purchase the kindle or paperback version: NIagara Falls Into Darkness
I hope you’ll take a look and, as always, Go Bills!
I just finish to read the novel, I liked it! In general, I really like to read novels and books. Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers is one of my favorite books, have you read it? If not, check the site https://freebooksummary.com/category/stiff-the-curious-lives-of-human-cadavers with the summary before reading. It seems to me that this story is quite specific.

You know, I am not entirely a supporter of those who believe in conspiracy theory, etc., so environmental problems do not seem to me to be an informational reason. Living in a forested area, I constantly witness the deforestation and the waste of natural resources due to increased consumer demands. Fortunately, education today, as well as the availability of additional resources, makes it possible for us to understand that such actions have consequences for the climate. Therefore, my thought is that not everything around us is a deception, you just have to think a little more at least about what is around us.

like this for instance....

The Tension Inside George Floyd Square Is Unbearable Right Now
In the days before Derek Chauvin’s trial began, I went back to the intersection where Floyd was killed. I watched another horrific scene unfold.

I did not know about subsequent events, although from that moment I try to follow the social movements in more detail. Thanks for the links to the article! By the way, after I started to be interested in the BLM movement, I found this essay https://gradesfixer.com/free-essay-examples/a-comparison-of-the-similarities-between-civil-disobedience-and-letter-from-birmingham-jail/ where very sensible things are written. They compare the Letter from Birmingham Jail and Civil Disobedience. Have any of you read this work? As for me, it's great!
When the gunshots rang out, people at the barbecue acted out of muscle memory. Violent crime has gone up since the intersection closed. In 2019, there was a total of three fatal and nonfatal shootings in the area. In 2020, there were 19. One person I spoke to told me that sometimes, people simply shoot guns in the air, not at anything in particular.

A Man Was Killed Saturday Inside The Police No-Go Zone Known As George Floyd Square
But yeah, damned white supremacists and they guns.
More truth to be ignored by leftists.

Any readers here? I'm looking for a new series of books to read. I read a bunch of non-fiction but try to give myself a mental vacation enjoying some fiction everyone 2-3 books. I got really into the Stormlight Archive (highly recommended) but the next book won't be out for at least 3 years, so I'm looking for some fun fiction series I can tear through.
I recently read Civil Disobedience by Henry David Thoreau and now it is one of my favorite books!

Why not Darrius Hayward-Bey?
I'm interested too... I am interested in science fiction and books. The question of choosing the best character or player is an important aspect of our life. I recommend reading a cool the dispossessed summary that focuses on this problem. I think that choosing the strongest or the fastest is not the right choice. Balance is the engine of progress in everything.

Very often, the transfer of such photos to the Internet, especially to social media, causes such a reaction. But I have not heard of this case. I wonder how it ended?
-
That's for sure, social media is already the fourth estate. It seems to me that in any field and topic, social media can set the pace and trajectory of events. They are also the best at shaping discourse.

This is a sensational topic. I followed this on social media from the beginning. Especially on Twitter, there was a discussion arena.

I'm pretty sure it's not illegal to be offensive, but any platform can shut a user down for being offensive.
Bottom line is that we're trying to control these private companies; maybe even want the government to control them, but that is all sorts of wrong.
Facebook is driven by what their consumers want and that's the way it should be. Their decisions are based on money. So if they're mass-blocking certain stories like, it's because it affects their bottom dollar.
Censorship itself is a very interesting topic. It will be more interesting if you analyze social networks, drawing attention to this. For example, even the case of insult that you described. I decided to look for some information and ended up on the site https://paperap.com/paper-on-social-media-analysis/ where I read about several methods. It turns out to be long and difficult, but even if you just look at the news feed, you can see censorship markers. Or, for example, bloggers' complaints about a block of certain content, or Trump`s account blocking on Twitter. Moreover, each social network has its own rules

Sal Maiorana's Rochester Democrat and Chronicle article of 2/9/2021 is dismissive I would say.
More or less saying the draft class is Pitts and Freiermuth and that is it. He mentions Jordan and Hunter Long as "depth options".
A good amount of draft simulators that I have tried have the Jaguars taking Freiermuth with the 1st pick of Round 2.
I am interested in Long given he has the second best output in terms of catches and yards after Pitts.
Article below also talks about free agent tight ends, as referred to above.
I am a sports journalist myself and I write for my publicity and also for the service https://gradesfixer.com/essay-types/satire-essays/ which is based in London. And his publications are used in college and universities.
I totally agree with that!

a couple of years ago, everyone was getting the scholarship so easily. Now I am wondering what needs to be done to get a scholarship in 2021 ... I don’t understand how it seems, now it seems not possible!
I think there is no point in receiving a scholarship in 2021. Not really, if not joking. That is, there are many ways, so I read an article on this topic https://ghanasoccernet.com/how-can-young-sportsmen-get-scholarship-for-study-abroad all possible ways are described there. It all starts with where you study and what kind of sport you have. And it all ends with the fact that you take an academic exam at other universities and you can be awarded a scholarship for half a year. So consider if it's worth it.

There's enough discussion, debate argument every year here about Free agency and how much money available to sign a certain play, what the cap is, dead cap and debate on some of the rules.
But imagine if this were all about basketball? We'd be arguing about how to make the salaries match up, luxury tax, two way contracts, mid level exceptions, The Bird Rule exception, non Bird exception, rookie exception, bi annual exception, traded player exception, supermax contract, who's eligible for the supermax, 5/30% vs 5/25% contracts, Cap holds, Over 38 rule, sign and trades, and much more.
Would there even be any time left to talk about actual play in games?
I used to love basketball very much, it was my hobby. Every day after school I would come home and read https://newyorkessays.com/basketball/ to learn more about the rules and history. Then, already in college, the guys and I constantly played in the yard. And now sports, like everything else, has become a big business. But nevertheless, we have legends and idols!)
Agree with you!

Not an excuse at all... but I'm in video editing and what happens sometimes is that you just use a template or previous completed video and then just change names and #s. So, could be the last one they did was Jerry Hughes or something and just forgot to change the text for Josh. I hope that's what happened. Otherwise, it might show that they are farming some of this editing work to outside vendors who don't know jack about the Bills.
Yes, this happens very often, especially when the editor has incredible deadlines for delivering the material. I myself worked as a video editor for a local TV channel. And you don’t even pretend how often we released such erroneous cuts ... that it wouldn’t fit our heads. But usually, people don't notice such small details.😂

I agree Jerry Sullivan this year could not find his audience, well, about the least approving
Although he is a great guy, we drank beer with him in a bar in Chicago -
Instagram model or you are a grocery seller if someone sneaks into your house and you have a big gun. That right decision is all too obvious.

I was told just incredible news yesterday. Maybe of course this is only for me, but still. I work at local television and our new PR department employee explained to me that Bills and their advertising department are ordering the promotion of their social media accounts using https://likesfinder.com/instazood-review a service for boosting likes and promoting on Instagram, can you imagine? And this is just the beginning, he says that not a thousand dollars are invested in creating an image at the expense of pumped media sources. And that all this is not news at all in the PR circle.
Do you hoard anything? Fine line between being a collector and a hoarder. Here are some famous book hoarders

It seems to me that collecting books is a very interesting hobby! It's like carrying several parallel universes in your head. My grandfather has a large home library. True, I don’t know how many books have accumulated there. But, now my goal will be to read at least some of them.
