« Previous Chapter | Nate: Jason! When Nate said that I just started laughing because he was trying to hint to me in other words that this dude was probably macking on me. I didn't pay no mind though cause this is one of the problems I know will arise with Jason and I. My baby don't got nothing to worry about though. My cell phone started to vibrate the same time as I got a text from Chris Chris: You good? How little man seem on his first day of school? Me: Hey? Morning to you too! Lol but he was excited to go to school. How are you doing? You good? Chris: I'm good man just here thinking about you two. Thought I would text and see how things going. How your first day going? Me: It's still going and it's boring as fuck. Chris: Lol! You going do good man I'm proud of you . I really miss you guys though. Soon surprise you and fly out there Me: I miss you too and I'm sure KJ really miss you. You know nothing can come between his bond with you and him. He probably would love you surprising him. Chris: I thought I would be the last one you actually miss Me: Chris stop it you know that's not true at all. Chris: I'm just saying ,sorry but I don't want distract you anymore. Pay attention to your orientation and I'll call later today. You need anything? Me: Chris I still for all the money you sent me for KJ and I. We don't need nothing man we good. Chris: Just making sure baby Me: I know Chris: I'll call later alright take care until then Me: You too. I was looking at my phone when Nate took it. he was like who you texting Nate: Oh Mr Christian who you still madly in love with. I gave him a look because he was running out. Then he said don't give me that look as he smiled. He looked around to see if anyone was listening to us. Then he said your my best friend and I know you. You love Jason but you love Chris too. In the long run my friend that's going eat you up Mjay. Me: Look me and Chris just cool man. It's like we co parents for KJ. My son love him to death Nate: Your son knows what you really love too. That's why he will always choose Chris. Of course he like Jason but he felt something being around Chris and you that he obviously not feeling between you and Jason. Me: My son love Jason and so do I do stop it. He going bring his brother out here for a few days Nate: That's cool and I love Jason . He a real man for coming over here to make sure you good though. I respect that! At the end of OReientation they then gave us a tour of the school. This school is very big and Nate and I was already getting a little popular with the girls because we sound different.. They were coming up to us saying we look and sound different. Me: I take it you going be dipping into plenty honeys while you go to school here. Nate: He started laughing then he said I don't know but we'll see how things go. So are we joining any teams? They got baseball tennis basketball football and all that shit here.You can play on the court so don't front. Me: Yea but that's kind of Dion's thing and I love ball but I don't know. I mean if we make the team where I'm I going to leave KJ when we have late practice or if we travel. Nate: He probably can come sit on the bleachers. I'm sure it won't be that bad but we can get involved into something. Or we mice we'll take that light skin dude up on his offer and pledge. Me: I'm trying to stay away from anything that involves him Nate: Why because he want the cakes? He started laughing then he said Mjay I'm str8 but I keep it one hundred cause you like my brother. You fine bro and you got a nice little body on you. They love the island accents over here so he ain't going be the only one trying to holla. Check out that guy over there with his girl but looking at you hard. He is staring at you so hard i think he can see through your clothes. Me: What guy as he said over there with his girlfriend in the green shirt. I turned around and looked at him he was actually licking his lips at me. I was just saying in my head lord Jesus this is going to be a long semester. Nate and I separated because we had to tow long lines to our respected advisors. I was so tired of his all day but I finally got in with mine. He gave me my contract with all the classes I have to take so we got four classes for me to take this semester. I was on scholarship so I had to do twelve credits or more. I decided I was going do four now and two in the summer then maybe five in the fall.i hate summer session but if I want get out here quickly I'm going have to do it. I'll probably have to see if they scholarship will cover summer sessions cause I think you only allowed to do two classes maybe three. He gave me this package that had computer log in and my passwords. I had to go find a computer in the computer lab so I can register than take this later to pay. Once I done then have to head to the book store to get my text books that are paid for. The computer room was massive and Nate was already to a computer while holding one on the side of him for me. Me: Thanks Nate: White boy got pissed off cause I said my boy sitting here he only went to the bathroom. He didn't want get slap so he wènt over there and talk smack Me: We just started laughing as I started to register for my four classes. Nate how much classes they advised you to do? Nate: I'm only doing four but I'm scared of this maths class Me: Let me see your form. I took his form from him then I saw we had the same maths and physics class to take but our major classes are different. Awesome me and you can sign up for the same maths and physics class. I'm good in maths so I can help you out. We got to get a 3.0 to keep these scholarships so we got to work Nate: My mom said 2.50! They aren't trying to kill us they know sometimes you just fall short but we good. Here comes your boyfriend Kane again Me: Just my luck the computer on the side of me is empty. I didn't pay no mind and I just sign up for back to back classes that way we can have a lot of other free time. We got all three classes on money and Wednesday and one on Tuesday and Thursday. By three well be finish on Mondays and webesday and we'll be finish by 10am with other class. Now we got time to join something Kane: Thanks for holding this computer for me man Me: No problem Kane: So you thought about it yet Me: About what Kane: About what! He started laughing then he said I love the way you talk while licking his pink lips. Then he said think about pledging Me: Naw I haven't fully thought about it yet. Kane: It won't get in the way of your studies or little man I promise. Me: Why you want us to pledge so bad Kane: While I'm the head I would love to get some more brothers involved. Especially from all cultures you know. It's kind of a unity goal of mine and don't think you special nigga I been talking to a lot of young men today. He pulled out a paper and wrote his name and number on it. He then said I'm going give you a few days to think about it and when you and your boy decide too or not let me know. Me: You American? Kane: Yes I'm American and Latin. Why you ask? Me: I just trying to get to know you a little bit Kane: Oh so do you want to hang out later tonight we having a party at the house. A little back to school get together you will have to come. Me: You then forgot I got daddy duties.

Plenty honeys going be around Nate: Well be there Kane: Great as he got his forms and sign out the computer. He said he will see use tonight Me: Oh now you want plegde Nate: No I just want grind up a few of there girls as he started to laugh Me: Hoe Nate: An proud to be one!

Cosmo had a good grasp of money from a very young age. We have given him small amounts from the age of two and allowed him to manage it in various ways, and he picked it up fast. The children's Granny took them on a shopping spree and gave each of the children £10 and he was very careful to work out what he could buy to ensure he spent to his budget exactly. It's something we've done before for Christmas/birthday money and he really enjoys it. I like this approach. We use YNAB's budgeting software and one of the first four rules is to 'give every dollar (pound) a job'. Even if that means allocating it to savings or emergency funds. Lychee has had little interest in money, and despite being given the same amount as her brother on a shopping trip, she will choose one small item and show no interest in budgeting and doesn't want the rest of the money. It hasn't really bothered me, but maths wise I think she should at least be able to recognize coins. Enter the shop. We have built a little shop area in her room, and initially play involved paper money that the children made themselves - mostly £99 or £10000000000000 notes. Recently though we have given her a little purse with some spare coins and she has been having so much fun with it. Playing shops today I realized she is now recognizing 20p, 5p and 1p fairly consistently. She still has no idea about 2p, 50p or a £1 coin, but we are getting somewhere.

Tom Spurgeon reports the death last Tuesday of French comics scholar, comics writer, novelist, editor, curator and event organizer Claude Moliterni. Moliterni “became involved in France’s influential comics-advocacy groups by becoming president of the Societe civile d’etudes et de recherches des litteratures dessinees (SOCERLID) in 1964, and founding the magazine Phenix in 1966.” With Pierre Couperie he curated the early major exhibit “Bande dessinee et figuration narrative” in 1967, also co-authoring a book by the same title. The ISA Style website carries photographs from that exhibit. Among his many activities, Moliterni wrote and edited several books about comics history and edited comics projects at Dargaud. He was also a co-founder of the Festival International de la Bande Dessinée in Angouleme, France. Among English-language readers he may be best known as a contributor to Pierre Couperie and Maurice Horn’s book A History of the Comic Strip, for which he wrote the chapter on “Narrative Technique.” Molierni was 76 years old at the time of his death.

It was good to see you and your family Sunday. I’m so glad you could all come for Silas’ baptism. It was a wonderful, joyous day. And yet the tears that sprang to my eyes when the water was being poured over Silas’ small head were tears of sorrow. We stood there — you, Rose, me, all the rest. But where was Michael? Michael would have so loved to have been there. He would have talked about it, written about it, recorded a podcast about it. He would have been beaming. He’d have sung the hymns especially loudly, his eyes turned upward as they did when he sang. We would have been proud of Silas together. Michael’s missing out on a lot of things lately, isn’t he? The evening Silas was born tears stung my eyes then, too, as Ryan carried our brand, new grandson into the hospital nursery. It was such a moment of joy mingled with pain. When Noel told her dad she was pregnant the first time, he was days away from death. I ached as I watched him clap his hands for the grandchild he knew he would never see. “I wish you could be here,” I said. He answered with confidence, “Oh, I’ll be right there.” I suppose I had hoped that when Silas was born I might feel Michael’s presence in some way, if just for a fleeting moment. But I was only aware of his glaring absence as you and Rose put your arms around each other at the nursery window. (more…)

Here's to you, Mer! I tried taking photographs of my favorite ornaments, but even when holding my camera completely still the pictures are still coming out blurry. Argh! So here are a few.My and Josh's first initials. I love that we are always together, even if it's just on our tree. Every time I see our initials I can't help but smile because I love him so much.I also have initials for my boys. They are on a different side of our tree hanging in their own little trio. They get along so well and are such a joy to be around. Again, I smile when I look at their initials. Mostly because I am remembering the adorable and wonderful things they did that day.When we lived in Germany, my mom bought my sister and i Matryoshka Dolls. We still haven't been given them because my mom isn't ready to part with them yet. I love this ornament because it reminds me of my mom, and how our dolls have had their home in my mom's living room for close to 30 years now. I bought one for my mom also, so we both have one hanging on our Christmas trees.I'll see if i can take more pictures later. I have several others that are favorites that would be fun to share. What are your favorite ornaments?

Notes: Originally developed for use with the abortive West German-US MBT-70 tank, the design for the SLT 50-2 tank transporter semi-trailer originates 1965. Though the MBT-70 project was cancelled, Germany decided to go ahead on the SLT 50-2, and 328 were produced for German use. The SLT 50-2 has a total of four axles, each with a single tire. The rear axle is steerable. Each axle has an independent suspension, and has additional mechanisms for load balancing and to allow the suspension to be lowered by up to 100mm for passage under low underpasses. All four axles have airbrakes, and two have parking brakes. The frame is of the box type and constructed of solid steel; the load platform is also of high-strength steel and of sandwich construction. The loading ramps are spring-balanced and though quite strong, may be raised and lowered by only two people. The trailer has cable guides for a winch, and the appropriate cables, ropes, and tie-down points and materials. Trailer Price Load Veh Wt Mnt Susp/Armor SLT 50-2 $11,456 52 tons 16.6 tons 4 W(4)/HF1 HS1 HR1 Kärcher TFK-250 Notes: This is a small field kitchen trailer designed for use at the battalion-level and below. It can produce a meals for 250 troops or a one-course meal for 500 troops in two hours. The TFK-250 is equipped with two 150-liter pressure cookers, two 55-liter pressure fryers, two oil-burner-heated 78-liter baking areas (on two levels), two 28-liter hot-water heaters (which may also make tea), and a four-unit pressure vaporization burner. The TFK-250 may be fueled by diesel, butane, gasoline, or kerosene. (Any fuel tanks or cans must be provided separately, but the TFK-250 accepts NATO-compatible fuel connections, and the field kitchen comes with the appropriate connections and lines.) The suspension is cross-country capable and is provided with four retractable stabilizing legs, as well as an all-weather roof which deploys semi-automatically and four tarpaulins to drop from each side of the roof. Trailer Price Load Veh Wt Mnt Susp/Armor TFK-250 $6,280 425 kg 2.08 kg 2 W(1)/HF1 HS1 HR1 Kärcher MFK Notes: The MFK (Modular Field Kitchen) is basically a somewhat smaller version of the TFK-250, but is built in separate modules which may be dismounted and used in different sections or dispersed over an area as the tactical situation dictates. The equipment carried includes two 125-liter boiling units (one single-walled, one double-walled), a 25-liter frying/baking module, a frying pan module, a grill with two large grilling plates, two working tables (which may be joined into one large table), two pressure vaporization units with four burners each, a propane burner, and a solid-fuel burner. The field kitchen has a large roof like that of the TFK-250, along with the four droppable tarpaulins. Built of lighter yet just as strong materials, the MFK is a little lighter than the TFK-250, but does not quite have the same cross-country capability due to its design.

When I look for meal ideas, I like to buy local, and cheap. This involves scouring the grocery stores for different items that cost less in the region we are in and build from there. Today my inspiration was chorizo sausage and local cheese,.which turned out to be tofu.... Damn language barriers. While looking through the store I noticed chorizo sausage was cheaper than hot dogs, bonus. So I went with it, and thought I would make a little jumbolaya. We went to the local produce stand and picked up an onion, a green pepper, and a carrot. Before bringing everything onto the boat, it all got bleached.So I chopped half an onion, and sauted it in a bit of olive oil. The I added the green pepper and diced carrot. After about 5 min I added some garlic and chopped choritzo sausage. I let that cook for about 10 minutes on medium heat, then added half a cup of rice, a small can of tomato paste and a cup of water. I brought this to a boil, then covered and let simmer. Once the rice was cooked I added a bit of tofu (should have been cheese) and voila, a hearty boat meal for under $3.

When I was first contacted by Amanda last August, she said she was looking for a photographer for her wedding, which was going to take place September 2015. Wait…what? That would be over 2 years away! This was even before my daughter’s 2nd birthday, and Kate would be 4, and attending Jr. Kindergarten when the wedding takes place. It took me a while to wrap my head around that, but when we met for a beer to chat about their plans, it all made perfect sense. Amanda is finishing her school program in Architecture, and didn’t want to get married while still in the middle of studying, so they took advantage of the time to plan. It sounds like their wedding is going to be very cool, and very personal…I won’t go into any details they shared, in case all/some of it is a surprise…but I’ll just say that I’m really excited to see it all come together. Whenever planning engagement pictures in Ottawa, I always try to find somewhere I hadn’t shot before, and look to the couple for interesting ideas, or locations that are meaningful to them. Amanda + Brad chose Old Ottawa South. This is a really cool part of the city, and an area that means a lot to both of them. Amanda lived here when the first started dating, and many of their first dates were along this part of Bank St. In case you can’t tell by the photos, we had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs. « Rock n’ Roll Wedding in Aylmer : Jan + MikeCourtyard Restaurant Wedding : Rachel + Alex » show hide 10 comments Julianne Markow - All of these frames are so beautiful!ReplyCancel Taylor - LOVE the second last shot in black and white with the flash line, awesome use of of the backdrop.ReplyCancel Paul Krol - The silhouette shot is killer and i’m sure the couple loves it and all the other pictures!ReplyCancel Amanda Thomas - Thanks for such a great engagement photo shoot!

I created a blog to help organize the massive amounts of information about to be heaved into my lap in an eight week period, that I will then have to shove into my brain. Shove, trick, coerce whatever tactic works. As will you!

Some people say that marketing can do no wrong, while others claim it can do no right. Having grown up in a family business and practiced and taught marketing throughout my career, I have seen that marketing is positive and constructive when practiced according to its core tenet: the creation of mutually beneficial exchange.Unfortunately, I also have seen instances in which certain marketing strays from its core and fails to produce value for consumers. Likewise, there are cases in which narrowly-focused marketing negatively impacts other stakeholders and on our society as a whole.I began Mindful Marketing because I care about marketing and everyone it impacts and because I know there are many other "mindful" people who share these commitments. By identifying and encouraging marketing that both creates stakeholder value and upholds societal values we can make a difference in marketing and in our world.

May 25, 2017 home | celeb | music | movie | tv Home > News > Celebrity Jennifer Hudson Is New WeightWatchers' Spokeswoman April 2, 2010 (2:24 am) GMT Being able to lose 60 pounds after delivering her baby with WeightWatchers, the 28-year-old singer has been picked to become the spokeswoman for the firm. Jennifer Hudson is hoping to inspire others to shed the pounds as the new spokeswoman for WeightWatchers. The voluptuous "Dreamgirls" star has been sticking to the firm's healthy lifestyle plan and has managed to drop 60 pounds (27 kilograms) since welcoming little David Jr., her first son with fiance David Otunga, in August 2009. And she can't wait to begin her spokesperson role so she can help others get in shape too. Hudson says, "I have been losing weight with WeightWatchers, and I feel great. I'm excited to share my progress, my favorite things, my blog and more... I'm learning so much about healthy living, and I'm proud of how far I've come." "One of the things I am most excited about in my life right now is that I can finally tell everyone what I have been doing to lose weight. It has been so hard not to say I've been following WeightWatchers, especially since people are constantly complimenting me on how I look. Really, I've been dying to tell people what my 'secret' is!" Hudson credits her baby boy with inspiring her drastic weight loss, because she wants to set a healthy example for the growing tot. But she insists she's always loved her curves, and only began seriously restricting what she eats after giving birth. She explains, "I was very comfortable with myself before. It's just, OK, I have a child now and I want to set a great example for him. (It's about) making better life choices, health choices, and just creating a good example for him. It's about balance." The singer/actress has taped a TV ad campaign for WeightWatchers, which will begin airing in the U.S. on Easter Sunday, April 4. More Jennifer Hudson News

For this author, the response by most of the Alt-Right to Hillary's speech was one of naivete. Back in the "Old Days" of the Soviet Union, when Uncle Joe singled out an enemy, the astute recognised that that that person was about to receive a world of hurt. Looked in that context, Hillary's speech, if it really did represent the position of Communist Democratic Party of the United States, was pretty much both a declaration of war against the Alt-Right and public recognition that the GOP are it's "house pet". Both parties agree that the Alt-Right is their common enemy and they are now, for all practical purposes ideologically indistinct. Both parties are have shown that they are committed to the managerial state and its existence, and as the purpose of the managerial state is to fix "problems" for the common good, what Hillary (and the GOP) did is identify the Alt-Right as a "problem" and thereby declared war on it. What this means is, that should Trump not win, in the next few years the state apparatus will be orientated towards the suppression and destruction of the Alt-Right. I also need to add that I'm not convinced that Trump is all that "Alt-Right" either, I hope I'm wrong, but any victory of his will simply be a stay of execution, till the political cycle restores the Democrats, unless there is a fundamental shift in the political culture of the U.S. Personally, I would have preferred the public denunciation of the Alt-Right to have occurred in the future, as this would have given more time for the ideas of the Alt-Right to have gained "cultural penetrance" but the enemy is not stupid and recognises that he is losing the war for the hearts and minds of the body politic and has to act now. I hope I'm wrong, but by the time this is over I imagine that there will be persecutions against the Alt-Right done withing the Anglo-Saxon tradition. What this means is that whilst there won't be the Gulags in Alaska, people will lose their jobs, have their careers wrecked, be politically disenfranchised, economically crushed, publicly ridiculed and with the state turning a blind eye to their abuse by "socially just" criminal elements with the occasional lynching. The people whom the Left will go after will be the people they consider Alt-Right and I think this is an important distinction which many of the Alt-Right fail to understand. The Left's definition of the Alt-Right includes everyone who is "right" of the GOP and is not a libertarian. That includes traditionalist Christians, Nazi's, NRx, nationalists etc. Everyone who's not with the program. This definition suits the Left, since by mixing Nazi's with Christians it conflates them in the minds of the sheeple, and it can punish one with the sins of the other, all with public approval. It's a political tactic designed to conflate and by the Left's definition I fall into the Alt-Right. Within the non-approved Left however, the alt-Right has a specific meaning which has developed over the last year or so. The stormfront-esqe entryist hordes have shifted its real world meaning to mean something akin to "soft Nazism" with an emphasis on; anti-Christianity, genetic Calvinism, blood and soil politics, Judaic obsession and mass-man political theory. From this perspective I'm explicitly NOT of the Alt-Right. These guys, have as their "tradition", the rejection of pre-Modernist European culture and the embrace of Right-Modernism. Anybody who wants to see how eerily similar the past was to the present should google up the political philosophy of Charles Maurras. His ideology was a dead end. The "Right" I belong to is incompatible with the Alt-Right, primarily because it's anti-Christian and ultimately Modernist in foundation,therefore by its definition I'm a cuck. But it won't really matter. When Hillary sends in her Soros-troopers we're going down together.

Ethnic and religious tensions and totalitarianism are direct threats to the future survival of thousands, if not millions of people in both Sudan countries, Chad and CAR. In that region, many common problems and real conflict regional dynamics exist. The main drivers of conflict have been identified as relating to questions of identity, poor governance and control over natural resources. While elsewhere in Africa ethnic politics is the main crisis of identity, in these four states, there is a mix of ethnic, religious, class and national identities. In the Central Africa region common problems and real conflict regional dynamics do exist. We observe in particular that: i) the state and politics are controlled in the four countries by a party, the NCP in Sudan, the SPLM in South Sudan, the MPS in Chad and the KNK in CAR; ii) issues of identity are common: the role of Islam, the culture and the Arabic language, the divide farmers / pastoralists; as well as natives and non-natives along the border in southern Sudan between South Sudan and the CAR, the DRC, Uganda, and also the issue of returnees from North to South Sudan; iii) the armed groups are present in all regions in southern Sudan, in the north of Sudan, in Darfur, in Nubba's mountains, in CAR and in Chad... The interactions between those countries are numerous : political and armed groups at the borders, the interference of neighboring countries (Sudan, Libya, DRC) and between them, frequent interventions of the Chadian army in CAR, border ethnic groups. Many armed groups cross this region. The LRA has created a lawless area in southeastern CAR and extend their activities in Sudan. Several rebel groups from Chad and Darfur are based in Central African Republic, others are based in Darfur and destabilize eastern Chad, Libya and Chad.The links between these four countries are inevitable. Population flows between Chad and the CAR, Chad and Sudan, Sudan and South Sudan have increased instability within each country and along borders. There are ethnic ties and trade between the peoples of the north-eastern CAR and Sudan, and the number of Sudanese refugees in CAR has reached 14,000, many of them came during the civil war in southern Sudan. Many more refugees from Darfur are in camps in eastern Chad.The crisis in Darfur, Chad and CAR are closely related, while the situation in South Sudan remains concerned about Sudan and its political future. The instability in Darfur somehow creates an environment conducive to conflict in CAR. Causes of conflict The question of identity is at the heart of conflicts in this sub-region: in this period of conflict, people are recognized initially on the basis of their ethnic identity and community, but also on the basis of their "legitimacy" of their territory (aboriginal, immigrant but also farmers / pastoralists). The inter-religious tensions are also very strong in the four countries. This is both natural in the regional context but also a product of political strategies (French colonization in Chad, Libya's influence in Sudan, political game, evangelical sects...); we also observed logical ethnic domination in 4 countries: Zaghawa and BET in Chad, Arab Nile in Sudan, Dinka in South Sudan and Yakomas in CAR. Today facing this culture of rejection of the other, we observe progressively the extension of this notion of identity to the concept of citizenship; national identity, secularism, and greater participation of women in community life... Young people and women are the flame of this evolution.We can therefore identify five identity problems in the region: the issue of ethnic groups, that is to say when people identify themselves and are defined by this aspect, then the competition, the rejection of others and domination are exacerbated by another and can cause conflicts at local, national and regional; religion, especially where state affairs are intertwined with religion and are not separated. Religion is used as a tool of discrimination and bullying the issue of indigenous, which generally favors the exploitation and discrimination of poor and marginalized; instrumentalization of citizenship when the state abuses of its power to remove the rights and duties of specific groups, and cultural practices (such as dia, the weapon bearing...) that can propagate violence, unfair practices and isolation from others, such as cattle rustling. Regional approach The region of Sudan, South Sudan, Chad and CAR is characterized by shared conflict drivers that spill over the countries' porous borders. Save for the African Union which has all the countries as registered members; there is no other regional body that accommodates all the four countries. Chad and Central African Republic belong to The Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa. Sudan is a member of the Arab League and has applied for membership of the East African community. South Sudan is a member of the Intergovernmental Authority on Drought and Development (IGAD) and has a pending application for the East African Community as well. Therefore in terms of intervention, the countries are best placed to have bilateral solutions supervised by the African Union. The other disadvantage is that the central geographical location of the states makes its cross border conflict interactions to be very extensive, excluding any other regional body from intervention, other than that with a continental reach i.e. the African Union. The African Union is the umbrella under which the states, individually and under the auspices of their regional bodies can come together to resolve the cross border conflict. ACORD and CCFD-Terre Solidaire commit to Peace in Central Africa for 10 years This landmark research was conducted by ACORD and CCFD - Terre Solidaire, who have committed to a 10-year peace-building programme that will focus on conflict resolution and transformation in the four countries with lessons shared across the continent.

For the fledgling conductor and Karajan ‘wannabe’, conservatoires, universities, and summer schools offer the chance to hone their craft, swapping practice in front of their bathroom mirrors for rehearsal time with mentors, accompanists or full-size symphony orchestras. Yet for the aspiring baroque director, prospects of working within such a specialised field are far and few between. Teaming up with the Foundling Museum in 2010 and 2012, an institution well-known for its education associations, The English Concert is one of the few ensembles around the world to offer such an opportunity. Through days of intensive coaching, participants not only got to grips with instrumental music, but accompanying vocal soloists too.Catch up with our young directors during the latest masterclass as our artistic director Harry Bicket puts them through their paces: Related

Last year, jaded horror movie fans everywhere were all aflutter about the Australian break-out hit The Babadook. That was then, and according to everyone that apparently matters, It Follows is now! The buzz behind David Robert Mitchell’s film — which Vince called his favorite horror film in years — is pretty damn huge. According to Bloody Disgusting, the film’s distribution company has no plans on releasing It Follows on VOD or cable platforms early. Instead, the indie horror flick is receiving an expanded theatrical run starting this weekend.

Bandstands are structures with a wide appeal, and the way they have been recorded in OSM throws a light on how contributors approach features that fall outside the mainstream. The OSM data on bandstands isn't complete, but the database may already contain one of the most comprehensive lists of existing bandstands in the UK. The most extensive list of UK bandstands that I have found is the list of Vintage Bandstands, here. This has 334 distinct entries, but I don't think they all still exist. In 2001 the Urban Parks Forum surveyed local authority parks in the UK. Out of the 438 bandstands they could identify 203 had already been lost, 186 were in use, or under repair, and 49 were abandoned or unused. Since then the Heritage Lottery Fund has been investing in the restoration and rebuilding of bandstands. I can't find more recent data, so for now let's assume that there are still more than 200 bandstands in public parks in the UK. Bandstand in Sefton park, from Wikimedia Across Britain, there are about 142 bandstands that are listed for architectural or historic interest. I have locations for those in England, and roughly three-quarters of them lie inside public parks, and roughly a quarter outside public parks. Around the same proportion of the bandstands in OSM are within a park, so it is probably fair to assume that by concentrating on parks, the survey by the Urban Parks Forum was primarily concerned with about three-quarters of the bandstands in the UK. So as a starting point I'm going to assume that there are about 275 bandstands left in Britain, of which about 213 are inside public parks, and 62 outside public parks - fewer than on the Vintage Bandstands list, and more than the Urban Parks forum suggests. I've managed to find 223 bandstands in the OSM data for Britain, which is about 80% of my estimated total. If these features really are bandstands, then that's an impressive result for a feature that I thought would fall well outside the mainstream. Our ancestors obviously knew how to build structures that would maintain their appeal, and that's part of the attraction of examining data on bandstands. But I also wanted to look closer at the data because the tagging of bandstands in OSM is particularly inconsistent, and I thought we might learn something from that. A fairly simple search of the OSM database for anything that mentions "bandstand" (and spelling variations) will pick up 247 features. On inspecting the data we find about dozen of these are false positives: completely different features with the word "bandstand" in the name. Ten appear to be duplicates. If two different features within a few hundred yards of each other both describe a bandstand then they are probably referring to the same structure in the real world. Some of the duplicates occur because contributors have added and tagged both a way and a node. Some may be because one attempt hasn't rendered and a later contributor thought the feature was missing. In a few cases contributors seem to have been uncertain how to tag the feature, so they have added more than one option. About 50 of the bandstands in the OSM database correspond to the 93 listed bandstands in England, so contributors have added more than half of the bandstands that are listed by English Heritage. Very few have been marked as a structure with listed building protection. If the overall totals are correct, then contributors have located more than 80% of all bandstands, but less than 60% of listed bandstands. I'm not sure what to make of that. For processing this data we really want to find bandstands based on well-defined attributes. Interestingly, with bandstands we find more variation in the choice of keys than in the choice of values. The most common contents of the value, by far, is "bandstand", with "band_stand" accounting for about one in thirty values. The keys that have been marked as a bandstand include "leisure", "amenity", "building", "historic", "type", "building:use", "tourism", "shelter_type", and "man_made". It's interesting that bandstand contributors choose quite a wide variety of different keys with quite a narrow range of values. There are 233 features that are recognisable as a bandstand from the data content. This includes 10 that appear to be duplicated, which mucks the numbers up slightly. I've slightly fudged this in the chart - to keep things simple. The tag "leisure=bandstand" is recommended in the documentation, and accounts for about 24% of all UK bandstands (30% of the ones I found, and almost half of the bandstands that have been coded in a structured way). The "amenity" and "building" tag with a value of bandstand account for another 18% of all bandstands. Less common tags such as "historic", "type", "building:use", "tourism", "shelter_type", and "man_made" account for another 2%. Low usage of "man_made" surprised me, because I thought this would have been seen as more appropriate than "building". Apparently not. More than a third of bandstands can be identified in the database by the name, but not by other coding. This approach, of course is risky for automated processing, because the results need to be checked for false positives. However, for some purposes it is still worth looking at how bandstands are named. The form "name=bandstand" is the most common - almost as though the name tag is being used for coding, since this is not capitalised. Less common forms are "name=Band Stand", "name=The Bandstand" and "name=The Band Stand". I suspect contributors have been influenced here by labeling in the standard render. Together, these four values pick up 84% of the named bandstands. The rest mainly use names based on the location - such as "Southsea Bandstand". The few remaining examples that I found are a mix of more obscure tagging, and spelling variations. These are of little interest, or value to data users. There are probably about 50 UK bandstands that don't appear in the database (yet). We have to be wary of false synonyms. I've looked at features in the database that correspond to the location of listed bandstands, and along with tagging variations in the OSM data these suggest that some contributors consider "gazebo" and "pavilion" as synonyms for "bandstand". Some just label the feature as a "shelter". A "gazebo" can look similar to a bandstand, although a bandstand is generally larger, raised higher above ground level, and clearly intended for a different purpose. The term "pavilion" might be acceptable as a technical description of the architecture, but in general data users will not be able to use it because it is so widely used to mark a sports pavilion. And "shelter" is a very general category, that doesn't help somebody who wants to identify bandstands. Now to draw some conclusions. Although we know for certain that some are missing, there's a case that the OSM database already contains one of the most complete lists of existing bandstands in the UK. With relatively little effort to plug the gaps, and verify existing data this is information that could be used productively, by anyone who wants to do so. If somebody wants to find bandstands in the database at present they will probably look for values of "leisure", "amenity" or "building" that contain "bandstand". That will uncover almost half of all examples in the database. It starts to get quite complicated for data users to seek out tagging variations and find the next few percent. Searching the "name" tag for variants of "bandstand" will turn up quite a few likely candidates, and might be appropriate in some circumstances,but it would not be reliable enough for systematic processing. Without manual inspection this approach also picks up theatres, cafes, and the like that have been named this way. The data on bandstands is fairly comprehensive and suggests that contributors can have quite different perspectives on these features. So this is an area where we could (and probably should), encourage more consistency, while tolerating quite a lot of variation in tagging. For the relatively small number of features in the database, bandstands demonstrate an unusually varied use of tags. Whether they realise it or not, different contributors have been marking bandstands according to their function ("leisure=bandstand" or "amenity=bandstand"), according to their form ("building=bandstand", "man_made=bandstand"), or according to their significance ("historic=bandstand"). These are surely all valid approaches, and they are not incompatible with each other. Indeed, quite often they are used together on the same feature. It is quite conceivable that one bandstand will be notable for its historic significance, but no longer in use as an amenity, while another might be in regular use as a leisure facility, but have no historic significance. Some might have changed function ("shelter:type=bandstand"). We don't know how this data might be used in future, so differences such as these ought to be reflected somehow in the tagging. However, the current documentation doesn't give guidance on such subtleties, so the current data probably doesn't record them accurately. All we can really say for now is that features with any of these tags have been recognised and recorded as bandstands. If the community wants to improve the current data on bandstands then the following might be priorities : locate the fifty or so missing examples add structured tagging to the hundred or so bandstands which can currently only be found by name fix inconsistencies - such as combining duplicates encourage considered use of the existing tagging options to capture and retain information that can be collected in the field add attributes (such as listed building status) that could be of interest or value to data users find a group of bandstand enthusiasts who might be interested in verifying the data, finding innovative uses for it, and taking things further celebrate with an outdoor concert Posted by gom1 at 13:44 4 comments Tuesday, 11 November 2014 Kennels and catteries Kennels and catteries are commercial businesses where owners can leave their cats or dogs while they are away from home. They are part of a wider category of animal boarding that also includes donkey sanctuaries, and organisations that take in domestic strays, pets whose owners are no longer able to cope; and wildlife, such as hedgehogs. These are more likely to be run by charities. In England and Wales animal boarding establishments (including kennels & catteries) are controlled by the Animal Boarding Establishments Act 1963. They have to be licensed by the local authority. The situation is similar in Scotland, but controlled by a different act. Because they have to be licensed I thought it would be straightforward to find statistics on how many kennels and catteries there are in the UK. I was mistaken. Published government figures on the business population don't go down to that level of detail, local authorities don't seem to publish any statistics, and I can't find figures from trade bodies. However, the Valuation Office Agency does publish figures for different types of property, including the numbers of kennels and catteries there are in Wales and the English regions. These figures are a bit old (2010), but broadly in line with the numbers that come up on a search of Yellow Pages. Unless anyone can come up with a better figure, I think we can be fairly confident that there are just short of 5,000 kennels and catteries in the UK. Of these I've been able to find just over 200 in the OSM database. Contributors have tagged roughly half of those as a kennel or cattery, and the other half can be identified (with reasonable confidence) as a kennel or cattery by the name. Mapping these clearly hasn't been a high priority for OSM contributors. I reckon that the data on kennels and catteries is too incomplete, and the tagging is too inconsistent for it to be of great practical use for rendering or other forms of data presentation (at present). The point of this post isn't to argue that things should be any different. These establishments are not particularly prominent features in the landscape. Dog and cat owners (in my experience, at least) will either have chosen their a preferred animal boarding service already, or they will find one through personal recommendation rather than searching a database. This isn't quite the same for animal rescue, where I could see a need for an application to find the nearest hedgehog sanctuary (for example). But it's hard to see how pressure from data users is going to create a surge of interest in data on animal boarding. One day we may see enthusiasts kick of an "Animal Boarding Mapping Project". But my guess is that these are more likely to be added by non-specialist contributors who are working on mapping a wide range of different features within their local area. In any case, the community will decide on priorities. My interest in looking at this is not to push for action on kennels and catteries. I'm more interested in seeing what we can learn about how contributors approach less commonplace features. We find three different models for tagging kennels and catteries. The usual approach is not to label these as a kennel or cattery at all. Examples of kennels and catteries can be picked up fairly easily through the contents of the "name" tag. There may be other, similar techniques that I haven't tried. In other words these features have been mapped, and named, but there is no further detail to indicate that they might be of special interest. In the chart they appear as "Name only" The second most common approach is to use simple "amenity" tagging. This makes use of user-specified values of the "amenity" tag: "amenity=kennels" and "amenity=cattery". These aren't documented, but nevertheless, they represent more than half of the examples of kennels and and catteries that have appropriate tags attached in the database. In the chart these appear as "Simple" The third approach is more structured, and follows the tagging recommended in the documentation. This is based around "amenity=animal_boarding" with more detail added under "animal_boarding=...". This approach represents almost half of the examples of kennels and catteries that carry specific tagging. Although it is the documented approach it is not yet the most widely used. It appears in the chart as "Structured". As always, there are a few variants on both of the structured models. By the look of it most of these are a mix of typing mistakes, and misunderstandings. They don't make a significant difference to the totals. There are an even smaller number of intriguing examples, though, where a contributor has used tagging based on "pet=". There are only a few of these, and it looks as though this might be an experiment that didn't go further, but it suggests that at least one contributor sees boarding kennels and catteries in terms of how they relate to other facilities for pets, rather than as a type of amenity, or as a service for animals. The blindingly obvious conclusion is that there are serious limitations in the current data. Inconsistent tagging might be a deterrent for users who want to render or process this data: but the real blocker is the very limited coverage. In the case of kennels and catteries, it seems likely, as things stand, that anyone using this data is unlikely to be interested in rendering or presenting the data within an application.Simply because there isn't (yet) enough coverage to make this viable. There is no shortage of similar examples in the database, outside the mainstream, where coverage is low. To my mind this raises some interesting questions. When the community is debating about best how to tag features that fall outside the mainstream: Who is using this data, and what are they using it for? Do current approaches meet the needs of data users, can they be improved, and if so, how? Could contributors be encouraged to add more useful data? Presumably we think that one day coverage of these features will become sufficient to make rendering or application processing viable. If we don't think that, then why are we collecting this data at all?. Will the needs of data users change at that point? If needs do change, how will that affect the data? How will we tell when we have reached that stage? Obviously I wouldn't be raising these questions if I held the view that the needs of data users were the same for all types of feature, and that they were unchanging as the contents of the database evolves. To me, the key question is "how do we tell when we have reached the stage that rendering or data presentation becomes viable?". But this might touch on some contentious issues. It's probably best to stop at that point, and see what others think. Posted by gom1 at 16:47 2 comments Saturday, 8 November 2014 Bookies The Gambling Commission publishes statistics on the number of bookmakers in Britain. Earlier this year they recorded 9,021 bookmaker premises, based on returns from operators. The number has been fairly constant in recent years. A data user will be able to find about 1,280 of these in OSM (depending on how determined they are). The preferred tag is "shop=bookmaker". That picks up 8% of all bookmakers in Britain. The most common alternative is "shop=betting" and that will pick up about 4% of the total. There are a number of variants on these (shop=bet, bookmakers, betting_shop, bookies, turf_accountant) Together these pick up about 0.4% of the total. A few contributors have gone down slightly different routes. Using the "amenity" tag rather than the "shop" tag accounts for another 0.2%, and various bookmaker-related values for "gambling" account for another 0.4%. There are also some premises which look like a bookmaker (based on the operator or the name), but aren't marked as such. I found another 79 premises that might have added to the collection if they had been tagged with additional data. There are almost certainly more that I missed, but deep searches to find these get increasingly complicated and the results increasingly suspect. I'm unable to find around 86% of British bookmakers in the OSM data. Posted by gom1 at 13:18 0 comments Hotels VisitEngland is the tourist board for England. It publishes statistics on the stock of different types of accommodation, broken down by local authority. These figures group all serviced accommodation together. So hotels, guest houses and B&Bs are all counted together, but non-serviced accommodation, such as camp-sites and self-catering holiday accommodation is counted separately. Importantly, they count establishments rather than businesses. Comparing their figures with OSM data for hotels, guest-houses, hostels and B&Bs suggest that the map currently contains about 7,500 out of 32,000 of these establishments in England (i.e. 23%). Roughly 15% are tagged as a hotel, roughly 6% as a guest house, 1% as a hostel, and under 1% as a B&B. There are also a small number of motels and some pubs with accommodation that are conventionally tagged. As usual, there is a smattering of weird spellings, and a few misunderstandings of tagging conventions, but these only account for a couple of dozen entries. They don't make a significant difference to the totals. More than 75% of establishments that provide serviced accommodation are missing from the data (or at least not easily found). VisitEngland count all hotels together, and I've not been able to find a reliable-looking and detailed breakdown of different types of serviced accommodation. Smaller establishments seem to account for less than a third of the data, but I would think that they account for a lot more than a third of all establishments. Their trade association suggests there are about 25,000 guest houses and B&Bs in Britain. OSM contributors have located about 14% of that number (note - this figure relates to Britain, others to England). It's possible that some of these have been tagged as a hotel rather than a guest house or B&B, - but on the face of it, smaller establishments appear to be the most under-represented. Looking at the distribution by local authority, it seems that either VisitEngland is particularly sloppy at counting hotels in the Midlands, or OSM contributors are particularly diligent at mapping them. For the rest of us, this might be a good time of year to fill some gaps before visitors and proprietors start gearing up for the 2015 season. If anyone is planning to map serviced accommodation they will probably want to pick up tourism=hotel, guest_house, hostel, bed_and_breakfast or motel and amenity=pub with accomodation=yes.

Attorneys are urging the U.S. Supreme Court to review the constitutionality of Minnesota's controversial system of confining hundreds of sex offenders after they have already completed their prison terms. — Star Tribune file By Chris Serres , Star Tribune May 19, 2017 - 8:26 PM See more of the story A group of Minnesota sex offenders has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to examine whether the state is violating the Constitution by confining people indefinitely in prisonlike treatment centers after they have already completed their criminal sentences. In a petition filed Friday, attorneys representing the offenders allege that the Minnesota Sex Offender Program (MSOP) infringes on their fundamental due process rights by operating a program without the basic safeguards of the criminal justice system — effectively turning the MSOP into a "life sentence." Offenders, the petition argues, lack timely access to the courts and the opportunity for regular reviews to determine whether they still pose a danger to the public or deserve to be released. "The fatal flaw of Minnesota's civil commitment scheme … is its failure — by statute or implementation — to meaningfully ensure on a regular, periodic basis that people committed to the MSOP continue to satisfy the standards of commitment," attorney Dan Gustafson wrote in the petition filed with the Supreme Court. After a six-week trial in 2015, U.S. District Judge Donovan Frank declared the program unconstitutional, in large part because of the program's absence of regular risk assessments of offenders. Most of the 20 states with civil commitment laws, including Wisconsin and New York, require annual or biannual risk assessments and court hearings to determine whether offenders still meet the criteria for confinement. "Hundreds of civilly committed people in Minnesota have never received a risk assessment and hundreds more have risk assessments that are outdated and therefore invalid," Gustafson's petition said. Psychologist: Serial rapist obsessed with deviant thoughts, not ready to leave program Minn. serial rapist testifies about violent history and fantasies The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis reversed Frank's ruling in January, setting the stage for an appeal to the nation's highest court. Minnesota now confines more sex offenders per capita than any other state and has the lowest rate of release. About 720 offenders are now detained at secure treatment centers in Moose Lake and St. Peter. Only one offender has been fully released without conditions from the MSOP since the program was established in 1994, and that occurred only last year. The Supreme Court hears only about 75 cases a year, a tiny fraction of the thousands of cases that are brought before it each year.

Potty training your dog is one of the most difficult yet most important things to train your dog for. This is the first thing you need to teach your dog the second you get home so that your dog doesn’t get used to peeing on your floors. For the first few months that you have your dog, limit the space that your dog has to roam when unsupervised. Your dog needs limited space like a crate or small playpen so your dog learns to hold in their business until it is time to go. If your dog has an unlimited amount of space to roam, they will be able to go about their business in any corner or space of the house and feel like they do not need to hold in their business. In your dog’s limited space place a pee pad. Your dog will learn to pee and poop on the pee pad when they really need to go. The most important things when potty training are: consistency and rewards. You must be consistent and insistent with your dog when potty training. Always place clean pee pads around the house and praise and treat your dog each time your dog does their business on their pee pad. If your dog goes on the floor or elsewhere pick up your dog and place your dog on the pee pad and remind your dog to pee on the pad. Be consistent and use positive reinforcement. Do not use negative reinforcement like shouting or hitting. That will only make the dog want to conceal their pee or hide when they go to the bathroom. Be consistent with their feeding schedule as well. Feed your dog food and water 4 times a day so that their potty schedule is predictable and regular.This is just one of the many ways to teach your dog how to use the pee pad. Just be consistent and positive and always clean up any accidents in the house. Thank-you to for providing us this useful information. Tags Dog, training, Potty training, Dogs, Puppies

Robin Cook's insistence, from the start of the row over the arms shipment to Sierra Leone, that no minister knew about it in advance, has been vindicated in Sir Thomas Legg's report. The inquiry found that there was no evidence that either ministers or officials had encouraged or approved the supply of weapons by Sandline International. Official clearance of all those involved will certainly help the foreign secretary as he seeks to restore his authority after what has been a damaging episode. Nevertheless the mistakes made by foreign office officials, and the lack of caution shown by the British High Commissioner Peter Penfold, were pounced on by the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats as indicating a shambles in the Foreign Office. After all his talk of an ethical foreign policy, Mr Cook had to eat humble pie and announce a series of measures which Labour MPs would have assumed should have been instituted once it won the general election. The government is to re-establish a foreign office unit that will ensure arms sanctions are observed. In future no officials will be allowed to have contact with private military firms without permission and when they do the foreign secretary will have to be informed. Mr Cook does face further questioning by the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Select Committee. But it seems unlikely there will be any fresh revelations. That should enable the government to close down once for all an embarrassing saga over who knew what about an arms shipment which as Mr Cook admitted played little or no part in the removal of the junta in Sierra Leone.

"Take a jug of Jazz, two teaspoons of Soul and a twist of R&B, then add a cup full of Gospel, a sprinkle of Reggae and a pinch of Latin, served with Raw Emotion…………There you have that Yolanda Brown Sound" Like a breath of fresh air in an industry that plays by the rules, Saxophonist Yolanda Brown has broken the mould to create a sound that truly is unique and has arguably become the face of modern Urban Jazz. "I've always been interested in music and musical instruments………as a child a child I played the drums, violin and piano, by the time I was 14, I discovered the Saxophone and fell in love with it. For two years I was taught the basic elements of the instrument, and after that I taught myself. When I left school I knew I wanted to peruse a career in music. Whilst at Uni I saw that Black Grape were holding auditions looking for members for a new band, I went along with my Saxophone. I performed and they were really impressed asking me if I wanted to perform as a solo artist. I immediately jumped at the chance. In three years I went from being a student to performing at my first solo show. The public initially were unsure of my style of music, but thankfully they came with an open mind and the response has been amazing. People really understand my music as its very conversational as opposed to conventional Jazz. My style is very different, I try and mix it up by incorporating current songs as well as original tracks to my set. To date I have covered tracks including Bob Marley's 'Wait in Vain', Robin Thicke's 'Lost Without You', and Neyo's 'Miss Independent'. I've found its helped open up this style of music to a brand new younger audience. Wining the 2008 MOBO best Jazz Act, was such an amazing feeling, and it's an honour just to be nominated and recognised for the work that we at (Black Grape) have done. I'm an unsigned artist, therefore all of this is down to hard work from the team. The love and support that I have received from the public has been fantastic, and I would like to say thank you to everyone who took the time out to vote for me and support me at my live shows. Its been an amazing journey and we are just at the beginning……………….. © 'Life in Colour', Listings Magazine, Issue 7 November-December 2008 For Further Information Regarding Yolanda Brown, Please Visit:

MUSiC ViDEO Who THE F**K wants the BOYSCOUTS OF AMERiCA TO BECOME THE GAY SCOUTS OF AMERiCA?? I applaud the Troop Leaders of the Boy Scouts in their dicision to not allow gay children to join the troop. Lets investigate this idea further shall we. - Question 1: What are the age requirements to be a BoyScout? Answer: from 5th grade or age 10 and ending at age 18. - Question: AT WHAT AGE DOES ONE DEFINE ONES SELF AS BEING A GAYBOY ? -Question: So I assume that in order to be officially gay, you must have " Taken It In The ASS" and liked it??? - Question: SO EXACTLY WHAT AGE, ARE THESE SO CALLED GAY BOYS HAViNG SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH ONE ANOTHER, THAT WANT TO BE IN THE BOYSCOUTS. ? 8, 9,10? -Question: Or is it the older boys closer to 18 but not over that age that want to join the boyscouts with the younger kids closer to age 9 or 10 ?? that of which does not sound like a good idea for strait parents if you don't want your boy to be gay. -Question: So who is pushing the gay influence.? I don't assume it's the kids. Even if you were actually a gay kid, you would not have the mind set to try to push your freak influence on the rest of the strait kids in the troop or this nation. - Question: SO IF THERE ARE KIDS AT AGE 8,9,10,11 HAViNG GAY BOY SEX, THEN WHO THE F**K iS MENTALLY PERSUADING THESE KIDS TO THINK THAT THEY ARE GAY? WHO THE F**K IS TRYING TO BRAINWASH OUR CHILDREN!

You guys, I've been keeping a BIG secret. A HUGEEEE Secret for quite some time now. Something I couldn't tell anyone.And it's been killing me. Especially when asked direct questions about the secret knowing I couldn't give a real answer or opinion to it. What is it exactly? Well, it is the gender to my Best Friends Baby! She handed off the envelope containing the top secret information to me a couple weeks ago. Since then I had to lock lips and turn my face to not give any kind of smirk or expression that may give it away when asked. I'll say I was super happy I only almost slipped up 1 time when answering someone but caught myself just in time. Secret keeping is hard, especially when you're so excited about it. Luckily, this past weekend the secret finally got let out of the bag (or box really) Since I was in charge of putting the actual revile part together, I wanted it to be a little more on the dramatic side. Not just because I love big statements and over the top announcements but because it is her first child ( not that I wouldn't do it for future babies down the line ;) ) and I think its important. I spent days searching Pinterest for different unique ideas that were not popping balloons or cutting open a cake. I've searched so much about it that my Pinterest page now thinks I'm pregnant and keeps giving me things like C-section panties in my feed when I log in. Don't rush me Pinterest! It's not my time! It took days for me to figure out what it was that I wanted to do and felt was a worthy enough idea. I even though about trying to blow color dust up with fire works but realized I didn't have enough space for that to work out even if it would have been super cool. After a long long search I finally found one I was super pumped about- Smoke grenades. Smoke Grenades have indeed been used before from what I could see people were buying little smoke sticks that didn't really put out a lot of smoke. So I of course felt that I needed to one up that and started researching high output smoke grenades that you see used for paint ball and photography. I ended up getting mine from Hustle Paint ball who had the best shipping prices available and could guarentee to get them to me in time.I got 2 of the same so I could guarantee it would be enough smoke to really put on the show I wanted it to. When it came time to put it together, I wanted to make sure that both her and her husband got to participate in the revile soattached some rope to the pull tabs of each canister, duct taped them down into the box and made holes on each side of the box for the strings to go through. All they had to do was pull the strings and it would activate the smoke. *** NOTE*** If you're making this for yourself, please use some STRONG string or rope because the pull tops take a lot of force to open and we may have had a mishap due to our strings breaking. Hindsight 20 20 haha. Since our string broke and the pull tap was a lot harder to pull than I had thought I had to make a quick adjustment not to delay the big news any longer. I can say I was super happy to finally answer the question of "What the Duck is it? Congratulations Nick and April! I'm so excited for you both! <3 Do you have a new baby on the way? What kind of revile are you planning? Let me know in the comments below!!P.s. Don't forget if you're a Cincinnati Local Mothers Day Brunch is coming up and I would love to see you there!

Interact with your turtle in a new way with the Penn Plax Floating Turtle Pier Large. This floating pier gives your turtle a more natural aquatic environment, while enabling you to use more of your tank for water. As the deeper water eliminates many filtration restrictions, your turtle will have a cleaner and more spacious area for swimming. Resting just above the water line of four 12” pylons, your turtle can easily bask outside of the water. Secure the pier to your tank with the suction cups provided on each pylon. The floating pier will naturally rise and fall with the water level of your tank, as low as 3” and up to 12” and your turtle can easily navigate the pier with the docking ramp. Made of durable plastic, the Turtle Pier is easy to assemble and is safe for children and pets. This model is best suited for tanks 20 gallons and larger. Product Dimensions: 11 x 3 x 16 inches. With ramp extended: 16” x 11” x 20”. Can also be extended from 5-1/4” up to 16” high.

One of the greatest tragedies you will ever experience is the loss of a friend or loved one, and that pain is made even greater by suicide. According to a recent New York Times article, the number of those taking their lives is at an all-time, 30-year high. One company’s attempts to help with suicide prevention are worthy of note: that’s right, we’re talking about Facebook. In another recent article featured in the Times, the company recently announced one of the greatest leaps in suicide prevention by a major corporation. They’re going to work suicide prevention tools into their platform along with “mechanisms and processes to make it easier for people to help friends who post messages about suicide or self-harm.” If you see that someone you know has posted something that seems alarming and possibly suicidal, the new features will allow you to flag the posts that might be seen as suicidal. The post will then be reviewed by an expert team at Facebook, who will then provide you with the language and tools you’ll need along with suicide prevention information that will be helpful to both you and the at-risk individual. The article is fascinating, and a bright light in a very troubled time. We salute Facebook for their dedication to helping with suicide prevention, for taking the topic of mental health seriously, and for taking the leap to make assistance part of their platform. We hope other tech companies will follow suit so that one day anyone who needs help can simply be connected with the right assistance. It’s a day we long for greatly, and with steps like these we’ll get there with hope and grace.

LT GEN SYED ATA HASNAINIn Kashmir, armed forces & social media warriors are in a hybrid war situation. The fastest-finger-first urge has to be restrained by both. Intent to dominate the information domain & physical space in south Kashmir is thwarted by the lack of Vajpayee-Mufti political initiatives. IT is not often that you will find analyses of individual operations of the security forces in the media. However, when you witness a revisit to tactics of the past, those done away 17 years ago, perhaps such a review may be pertinent. Technology has enabled the spread of diverse information in the intervening period that the degree of interest in the public on such issues has multiplied manifold. In the backdrop of the heinous act by the Pak Army-terrorist combine in Poonch on April 30, 2017 military operations on the LoC also occupy greater space.When the Army moved two brigades from Udhampur into Kashmir in August-September 2016 in the wake of large-scale disturbances which had paralysed governance, one knew it was a dire requirement. No military institution ever teaches how such large forces are to be employed in classic hybrid situations to restore order. All that was needed with these forces was the occupation of the space in South Kashmir which had been vacated over time to plug infiltration at the LoC. It was important to back up the JK Police to reoccupy the vacated police stations, bolster the confidence of the force which had been targeted in a much focused way and regain/re-establish the "moral ascendancy" of the Army which may have diluted. The Army did it that way, ensuring it sent a "strong message" of its presence and that it would not resort to any wrong means to control the situation, even in the face of serious provocation which was underway.Those brigades have probably withdrawn and the situation in South Kashmir has worsened in many ways in 2017. In my years with Victor Force of the Rashtriya Rifles (RR), I always considered the quadrilateral formed by Bijbehara, Kulgam, Shopian and Pulwama (see map) as the citadel which needed to be breached. That is the very area causing much concern today although Central Kashmir has also witnessed the same. The recent incidents of bank robberies and the ambush on the cash van of the J&K Bank, leading to the killing of five JK policemen (all from Kashmir) and two local bank security men cannot be glossed over. The message is there is no remorse in the killing of locals if they stand in the way. No doubt, Kashmiris have lost their lives at the altar of local terrorist actions in the past and even targeted killings have taken place but a lack of condemnation and an expression of happiness by locals is disturbing. This is a reversal of much that had been gained. It signifies the stronger entry of Pakistani terror groups and influences without which such a trend would seldom be witnessed. In the past, Pakistani terror groups have announced their domination through some heinous acts such as minority killings and massacres of innocents. It is something the security set-up in Kashmir should be wary of.Thus Operation Clean Up launched on 4 May hasn't come anytime too soon. It's a joint operation of the Army's RR, CRPF and the JK Police. In purely military operational terms, it is aimed at regaining control that may be perceived to be in contention, not necessarily lost. The last time large formation sized search and destroy operations (SADO) or cordon-and-search operations (CASO) were conducted was in 1999-2000. In the Hafruda forest belt jungle searches have been a norm even in recent years. The Army's strategic reserve was in the Valley as a follow-up to Kargil and was employed both for “jungle bashing” and search of semi-urban areas. It had its effect, sending home the resolve of the state. While many recoveries of logistics material of terror groups were made, the ensuing effect was the killing of terrorists who did not have the sustenance to survive in their hideouts. More importantly, the psychological message was sent that the Army would always resort to any type of operations to ensure its operational and tactical domination. Since then the Army has calibrated its concept of operations restricting these to intelligence-based ones or small CASOs so as not to cause unnecessary inconvenience to the public. This was progressive revision of concepts. Conflict progression moved towards conflict stabilisation and was in sync with the political initiatives of Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee and Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed. Hybrid war situations like all military situations are always dynamic; no use of bemoaning lost opportunities. They will always return and perhaps one may be better prepared for them then.What should be expected from Operation Clean Up? Is the return to tactics of yore worth it, especially since not much seems to have been achieved in terms of apprehensions, neutralised terrorists or recovery of warlike stores?General Bipin Rawat, the Army Chief has invested a lot in the current operation, having personally visited HQ 15 Corps to take stock of plans and give last-minute directions. These operations usually commence late at night, with cordons being established. The population is asked to vacate houses early morning and then search is carried out. The difference from the “crackdowns” of the 1990s is the large-scale presence of the media in all these villages and townships. Clearly, the operation was not pushed to limits as stone-throwing emanated and the security forces did not use coercive power, their intent being focused on the terrorist element.The operation appears only a demonstration of intent and not more.There will be difference of opinion on whether more coercion should have been used against stone-throwers and their leaders. Obviously, this is being carefully calibrated. Two things are important if the messaging has to be correct. The information domain needs as much domination as the physical space of South Kashmir. The negativism against India at the recent UN Human Rights Review Meet proves how far we are from effectively projecting India's stance.Second, return to old tactics in a calibrated way for a necessary reason is fully justifiable as street and terrorist violence was spiralling out of control. What must accompany this is an engagement not of separatists or their cohorts but a set of people who believe in India. As stabilisation of the security situation begins, the India supporters can be strengthened.It must also be continuously demonstrated that Kashmir has distinct advantages by being part of India. Soft power can never be divorced from hard power in workable strategies; only one has to know where and in what quantum soft power must be applied.Demonstration of intent must be as focused as much as the hinterland. The best psychological message at the LoC is always evident when commanders on the ground have the freedom to act. Under the circumstances there should be complete empowerment, subject to fitment into overall strategy.The writer, a former GOC of the Srinagar-based 15 Corps, is now associated with the Vivekanand International Foundation.

Just yesterday, I covered aged white tea. The process for that is relatively simple. Find a cool, dry place to store it, keep it covered airtight…and forget about it for five years. Awesomeness can – and may – ensue. If pressed into a beengcha (tea cake), even better. Gives one something to work for. What I haven’t covered, though, is the difference between aged white tea and pu-erh made from white tea leaves. Sheng (or raw) pu-erhs are made from tea leaves that have been wok (or pan) fired then sun-dried. After that, they’re either compressed into cakes or other shapes, and ferment naturally on their own. The other type of pu-erh – shou (or cooked) – goes through a more…impatient process. Machine-tumbling and wet-piling. Think of those like composting mulch, then you’ll get the idea. Okay, that’s not entirely fair. Cooked pu-erhs do take on some interesting characteristics once given a chance to age naturally after the initial compostumble-stuff. The gold medal, though, goes to the shengs. They’re my chosen form of pu-erh-ing. And we won’t even go into the larger family of heicha (dark tea), of which pu-erh is a part. Too much ground to cover. (Sidenote: Yes, I’m skating over a lot of pu-erh knowledge for the sake of witticism. I’m no expert on the subject. Just a taster.) The first “white tea” pu-erh I ever tried was almost entirely by accident. A local tearoom was carrying something they dubbed “Silver Needle” pu-erh. Back then, my weird tea radar was in its infancy. While I was eager to try it, I didn’t just stop my life in order to hunt it down. I waited a good week, at least. It was exquisite. And since then, I had three or four others that met similar approval. Most of these were five-year or ten-year teas. What I was really curious about was how a white bud pu-erh held up somewhere closer to infancy. By a twist of fate, a White Buds Sheng Pu-erh (2011) was hidden among the Taiwanese whites I received from Norbu Tea. Image mooched from Norbu Tea The leaves were definitely white buds to the core. All light green needles, young forest green leaves leaves, and fuzzy excellence with a smell that could best be described as…uh…sheng-y. There were more needles than straight-up leaves, though, which was a plus. Subtler than most other raw pu-erhs, I really couldn’t make out much other than grass, wilderness, wood, and a smidge of something almost stonefruity. It reminded me of straight-up White Peony that’d been in storage for a couple of years. For brewing, I boiled water and approached it like any other sheng pu-erh. Gongfool-style, all the way. I took a hefty enough chunk to fill a teaspoon, and placed it in a 6oz. gaiwan. Three successive infusions were a good enough judge of character, each one at about thirty-to-forty seconds. Over the course of three infusions, the needled leaves had broken apart and infused to varying degrees of yellow. The first infusion was obviously the lightest, but the other two were around the same shade of pale gold. The real difference between the three lay in the flavor. Each one had the citrus and grass lean in common. But the further down the white rabbit hole I went, the bolder the profile became. Lemons, forest, and hay were the dominant nuanced notes on display. Smoke was a trait that showed up in the underpinning. Not that I minded. Even after three years of aging, the white tea profile still dominated the flavorscape of this still-young pu-erh. Some wine notes were emerging, but only in the aftertaste. Given another three years of resting on its pressed-leaf laurels, I’m sure more fermented characteristics would emerge. As for now, it was like a white tea that could take a pu-erh punishment. I’ll drink to that. ***** And that, folks, is the end of White Tea Week. What did I learn? Well, nothing I didn’t already know. White tea is awesome. It got me started on the road to orthodox tea appreciation, and it still holds the crown. What did I benefit from seven days’ worth of white tea blogging? My teeth have never been whiter. I was fighting a cold/flu-plague, but it seems to have retreated thanks to all the antiviral badassery from the teas. And lastly, my outlook has never been whiter. Er, I mean brighter! In the end, it’s nice to know what’s out there. I’m reassured that so many countries are playing with the tea type. After all, I’m only getting started.

That seems to be a popular thing to say these days. However, I’d like to make a quick modification on this saying. Here: You know my number, not my story. Because at this point, the state doesn’t even care about your name. My name is Vanessa. I’m in 7th grade at a public middle school in New York State. Just recently, my school had to take the state tests. The three days and the 4.5 hours of ELA’s, and the other three days and 4.5 hours of the State Math Test. That’s 9 hours of testing we had to go through. 540 minutes of sitting and taking a test that is looked at to determine how smart we are, and how well our teacher teaches us. 32,400 seconds of staring at the clock. Do the math. All of this testing is unnecessary and harmful to the students around us. The state thinks it’s helping our students, but it’s NOT! Besides, it’s an inaccurate representation of our abilities and intelligence! I know this firsthand, being a student myself! Ask any teacher at my school they will know I am an excellent writer. My essays excel, and I’m sort of what people call an “over achiever” or a “try-hard”. Yet somehow I bombed the writing portion of the ELA’s. And I know exactly why. A lot of the questions make no sense. Especially this year. Most of them are opinions! There was one question in my book that asked, “What line from the story shows the meteorite as being powerful?” ALL OF THE ANSWERS SHOWED THE METEORITE AS BEING POWERFUL! It was simply a matter of the state’s opinion on which line best described it as powerful. How am I supposed to know what the state is thinking???? Well, the answer to the question was something about how when the meteorite hit the ground, the the boy in the story fell down. As for the extended response questions, they were wordy and confusing. This year they upped the level for each grade, which I guess meant making the questions impossible to answer by asking for two supporting lines from the story but only actually putting one line into the story. And I can assure you, finding these lines doesn’t take much brain power. But somehow this year finding the lines ate up everybody’s time, which is why I had trouble finishing that portion of the test, and also why I was left with only ten minutes to write a 4-5 paragraph essay. The questions on my tests were customized to fit the reading and comprehension level of an advanced 7th or eighth grader. The state should be considering that students of the same age are not at the same reading level! There are many different types of kids out there with different abilities at different paces. Just because a student didn’t do well on the test doesn’t mean they are not smart enough. It could mean that they are a little slower than the expected student is. It could mean they are a late bloomer, or maybe even that they have difficult situations in their lives that keep them from being able to learn as well as the other students. Therefore, giving all of the students an extremely advanced test is an unfair and inaccurate method of determining a teacher’s teaching skill and a student’s intelligence. Another reason why these test aren’t right is because of stress. We are humans. We have lives. We have stuff that happens in our lives. Someone might have had an awful night last night, and then they are expected to come to school and take a huge test that determines whether or not their teacher is going to get fired. These tests are STRESSFUL. Kids do not work well under stress. They freak out, and they can’t think, and next thing you know time is up and they have a really low grade This kid might even be a straight A student. This type of stress on a student is unhealthy and can lead to many problems. Another example of how inhumane these tests are follows. Somewhere in the state, a third grade girl was out of school for a number of days due to sickness and a death in the family. That death being her dad. She comes back to school, depressed and miserable, and they sit her down and have her make up the tests she missed AND take the ones from that day. Doesn’t that seem just a little more than a lot extreme? Finally, for the teachers. Using giant tests as a way to determine the good teachers from the bad is not the best way to go. There are plenty of other ways to evaluate a teacher! Student averages, for example. People could also sit in to classes more often. There are SO many better ways to do this than have us kids sit through hours of unnecessary torture. Another thing: Teachers always complain about not being able to get through all of the curriculum in a year. They can’t do this because they have to take two months off for the tests! A month to teach us how to take them, and two weeks to actually take them. This is absolutely ridiculous. I kind of just want to get through the school year and learn how to write an FPR or APE response without having to write them twelve times in two days. These test do not define us. These tests SHOULD not define us. We should be more than a three digit number on a chart. I am not what my test is. The state doesn’t know me. They know my number. They know what I marked on a piece of paper. But they don’t know who I am, or what goes on in my brain. I’m working to fight against these test. We need to speak out and be heard. The students of today are America’s future tomorrow. Don’t you think it’s just a little sad that we walk into Kindergarten with more enthusiasm and imagination than when we graduate high school? The tests ruin student’s eagerness to learn. It crushes our creativity and interest. Do we really want our future to be run by tests and numbers? Join me in speaking against State Testing. Spread the word.

I guess just by virtue of their ages our kids are wide ranging in their intellect and social skills and ability to comprehend! They all do, however, have a good hold on the English language. It seems to go in fits and spurts but they each have times when they embrace a word or phrase and use in ad naseum. Since I have become aware of it, I find I may have that gene, too. Not sure but my friend, ME, says I say,"I'm just sayin'" frequently. Anyway, the kids each have their own words that they use correctly and frequently. They are as follows:Future Trooper~random, "The teacher just says random things.""I just have some random homework"Little Girl~seriously "You mean seriously, no really, seriously?" It sounds more like sirously.Angel~currently has two favorites:literally "Landon hit me, literally""He doesn't like dogs literally" sounds like litterlyordinary: "I am going to play in the ordinary yard" (Means the back yard where he always plays as opposed to the front yard where he seldom plays)I am looking for more examples in my every day verbage (I know what you are thinking, there is a lot of verbage,SHUT UP) find other favorites.Do you and yours have favorite lines?

As a result of the Scottish Government's Education (Scotland) Act, which was passed in February 2016, we have decided to create a short FAQ section to answer some of your questions. Presentations explaining the background and progress on registration of teachers working in independent schools are available here: Independent Schools Registration - Presentation Independent Schools Registration - Presentation 2 1. Why will all teachers working in independent schools have to register with GTCS? All teachers working in independent schools will be required to register with GTCS following the enactment of the Education (Scotland) Act in October 2017. The majority of teachers working in independent schools are already registered with GTCS and we have strong partnership links with the Scottish Council of Independent Schools which has supported this process. There remain staff who are not registered, although some of those will be eligible for registration and have just not taken steps as yet to formalise this. This proposal by Scottish Government will ensure that all teachers in Scotland, regardless of the sector in which they teach, will meet the GTCS Standards for Registration and our rigorous background checks. This should give comfort to other teachers, the general public and most importantly, parents and learners. For more detail about the Scottish Government proposal visit: Education (Scotland) Bill Education (Scotland) Bill 2. When will the registration of Independent School Teachers become compulsory, and what time to teachers have to gain full registration? It is anticipated that the Education (Scotland) Act will be enacted in October 2017, with teachers given a minimum of three years to address any shortfall. 3. Who is covered by this legislation? The legislation covers anyone who operates in a teaching role. This does not include sports coaches or school chaplains. If you are in doubt, look at your contract of employment and reflect on whether you have the responsibilities of a teacher. 4. What will be the associated costs of registration? This is an employment and school based issue. Your school may make the decision to support or partially support staff through the registration process. The cost to register includes: The initial Registration Fee, which is currently £65 A fee to join the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme membership (currently £59) of short scheme record check (for existing members of PVG scheme, currently £18) There may be additional costs associated with those teachers who have qualified outside of Scotland if official certified translations of qualifications or references are required. 5. What can I do now to prepare for registration? All teachers at independent schools should ensure that their details are up-to-date within their school. Teachers can apply now by making contact with GTCS directly. You are encouraged to apply now to allow our staff to offer the best advice, and to give you time to consider your application and any steps you may have to make to achieve Full Registration. As of October 2017 and the enactment of the Education (Scotland) Act, you should make sure that you are eligible to be registered with GTCS. If you don’t have the prerequisite qualifications, you should make efforts to achieve this. 6. Which categories of registration will be available to Independent School Teachers? There are three categories of registration available to independent school teachers. GTCS will decide on the category given to applicants, based on the information provided on application. Full Registration – meaning teachers have met all the Standards for Full Registration Provisional (conditional) Registration – where an applicant does not fully meet one or more of the criteria for registration for teachers qualified outside Scotland or for Professional Registration (as set out in GTC Scotland’s Registration and Standards Rules) GTC Scotland may grant provisional (conditional) registration. This means the applicant’s registration is subject to specified conditions which must be met within the stated period of time. More information on provisional (conditional) registration: Provisional (Conditional) registration (for applicants qualified outside Scotland who do not meet the full criteria for registration). Named School only – this category will apply to only a small number of individuals who have no relevant teaching of academic qualifications, but have contributed significantly to the running of the school. These registrants may not work beyond their named school. This category will not apply to current or future teachers in the Sector, only those who will retire in the very near future. 7. What are the qualifications required to achieve full registration with GTCS? You can see relevant information about the qualifications required on the following pages: Eligibility - teachers qualified in UK or Rest of World (not EU, EEA or Switzerland) Eligibility – teachers who are fully qualified in an EU/EEA Member State (not UK) or in Switzerland Qualified in Scotland 8. I have QTS based on an employment based route, what options are available to me? Teachers who have obtained QTS elsewhere in the UK via an employment based route (e.g. the GTP) are now able to apply for provisional (conditional) registration. They will be able to go on to obtain full registration after completion of a Top Up PGCE programme and confirmation of satisfactory and relevant teaching service meeting our probationary service requirement. At present the Top Up PGCE is offered by the University of Northampton, however, we are discussing the possibility of setting up a top-up programme at a Scottish university. Information about the University of Northampton programme can be found on their website. University of Northampton - PGCE Top-up (Primary/ Early Years/ Secondary) We have also recently accredited an initial teacher education programme at the University of Buckingham, which will enable teachers in independent schools who do not currently have a teaching qualification to meet the teacher education requirement for registration. Information about this programme, the Independent PGCE, can be found on the university’s website. University of Buckingham Independent PGCE 9. I qualified outside Scotland; what can I do to ensure I have the necessary qualifications? You may already have qualifications which can lead to registration. We would recommend that you first look at the information that we provide in our Registration section for teachers Qualified Outside Scotland. This information also applies to teachers in the independent sector in Scotland who have not completed their teacher education at a Scottish university. If you do not have qualifications which meet our requirements for registration please contact us for further advice at QOSProfreg@gtcs.org.uk Quick Links

You may have the beat, the rhythm and the rhymes that make you quite a popular rapper in your school, your community or among your friends and family. You may have had some paying gigs before. Somehow you think that maybe it is time to see if you can get a rap record deal. With the popularity of rap music and musicians today, it can be a steep hurdle, but it can be done, provided you are hard working and does not let off on your perseverance and prepared to wait for the right opportunity. Take a look at some of the tips below on how to get a rap record deal. Develop your own style of delivery. Do not copy the style of other rappers. A label manager or an artist and repertoire manager are always looking for someone unique, someone that catches their attention after listening to the first few lines of a song. Make a list of the songs that you have written and prepared to cut a demo CD. If you have a recording program running on your computer and a soundproof room to cut your demo, that will be great. If you do not have the facilities and equipment, check some of the recording studios in your area. Practice your songs with your backup musicians until you have perfected the songs. You can cut a three-song to a five-song demo of your best songs. Mae sure that the first one is the best among the lot as label managers are swamped with demos all the time and will only have time to listen to the first cut unless the first one grabs their attention that they will be impelled to listen to the other cuts. Inquire about the studio’s rates per hour. You should know what their requirements are and how long it will take them to process the recording and give you the master copy. After you receive the master copy you need to make several copies of your demo to send to several recording companies. Think about how to present your demo CD. You can choose to create a CD cover and list your songs. Do not forget to enclose your name, a short narrative about you and your contact information. Address the demo to the right person so it will be delivered to their desk immediately. Make sure that you have what it takes to be a good rapper – strong vocal presence, the proper breath control to deliver long lines without pause and proper enunciation. Rap is all about the lyrics and fast beat. Your audience should be able to understand what you are trying to say. You should know that the lyrics to rap music are usually social commentaries, a dig at the social and political issues affecting society and other actual life stories. Participate in singing contests and open mic nights at local entertainment venues. Label managers and talent scouts frequent these places in search of new talents. You should develop your style and how to go around the stage and work your audience. You have to establish rapport with the audience and have good stage presence. These are qualities that label managers and talent scout look for as these are indications that you can command an audience and gain a following. Establish an online presence. There are websites where you can create an account for free and upload previews of your own demos. Tell the audience something about you and if you have local shows, make sure that these are included and updated. Upload some photos of your previous gigs and your contact information. Continue to hone your craft. You never know when a talent scout will spot you and like what he is seeing. Perseverance and patience are necessary for you to land a rap record deal and make it in the industry. It’s a cutthroat business and you have to be the most unique rapper against the rest to stand out and be noticed.

ANFORTAS is a stop-motion animation of everyday items used to convey larger, metaphysical ideas. Weaving choreographies of red and white objects are overlaid with a story which intertwines Pawnee and Oglala creation myths with the travails of Perceval, Knight of the Round Table. Designed as a three-wall installation and shown theatrically in three cells, three distinctive dances unfold simultaneously. The film idea began with blood, red and white, and ends in the Grail, the transformative vessel. Replete with alchemical and mystical symbolism, this fanciful film is a meditation on cancer and insurgency, the body and soul, achievement and communion. Ultimately, it is a film about the very nature of Life.

Bowie State awards posthumous degree to slain student Carroll County meeting will unveil options in review of school facilities The Carroll County Board of Education will meet on Wednesday, Oct. 10, at its headquarters in Westminster in a session that will release options — including possible closures of schools — related to a Comprehensive Facilities Study that began last spring.The Oct. 10 session will begin at 5 p.m., in the Board of Education offices, 125 N. Court St.., Westminster. The facilities study came out of public budget discussions with the Board of County Commissioners, questioning whether the school system should study its inventory of schools in the face of declining populations. Some commissioners called for a look at whether any school might be closed or consolidated as a means of reducing operating and capital costs.At the Oct. 10 meeting, school staff will present various options that have been under review. CCPS Superintendent Stephen Guthrie has said that following the presentation, the system will conduct a survey to gather public input on the options, and in January, there will be a joint work session between the Board of Education and the Board of County Commissioners to discuss the issues. After that, a report will be presented for public review. For more details on the study process, go to

Today's entry is pretty much going to be a love story to Dan Wilson, a former member of Trip Shakespeare and frontman of Semisonic. Besides being a pretty awesome musician himself, he's also extremely active behind the scenes. In his Minneapolis studio, he has produced both albums by Soul Coughing frontman Mike Doughty, who I mention in the post introducing this month's theme. He also won a 2007 Grammy for song of the year for co-writing "Not Ready to Make Nice" with the Dixie Chicks.

ancestry and his concern for the new generations prompted him to share his views. He is a photographer, craftsman and an experienced guide who plans Yachay Wasi cultural tours. From 1985, his photographs of his people and Inka places have been exhibited in USA, including the United Nations and the American Museum of Natural History in NYC. He has conducted workshops on his culture in educational institutions.

I am hesitant to post something from a "news show" because I think they often sensationalize things, but I think this brings up a really important issue. And I find it really interesting that the mom of the victim has chosen to put her effort into making more people aware of the effects of bullying rather than push for the prosecution of those who bullied her son.

Oct. 3, 2011 FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Jets coach Rex Ryan said Monday he remains committed to the running game, despite the fact the Jets had only 38 yards on the ground in their loss at Baltimore on Sunday night. Shonn Greene has been unable to get untracked, with only 157 yards rushing through four games, including 23 on Sunday. But Ryan said he also plans on sticking with Greene as the featured back. Granted, the third-year pro hasn't had many holes to run through as the offensive line is struggling. But he seems late getting to the few slivers of daylight that are there. Notes: The Jets announced that OLB Bryan Thomas will miss the rest of the season with an Achilles’ injury. Thomas came off the field late in the first quarter Sunday night in a great deal of pain and never returned. Ryan indicated that third-year pro Jamaal Westerman, who filled in for Thomas after Thomas left the game, was in the mix to replace Thomas going forward but that he would not ‘anoint’ a starter right away. He said other possibilities include ILB Josh Mauga, who has ‘crosstrained’ at both inside and outside ‘backer, as Ryan phrased it. Ryan also mentioned OLBs Aaron Maybin and Garrett McIntyre as candidates. Maybin had his first NFL sack Sunday night but McIntyre got a concussion in that game and his status for Sunday’s game at New England is uncertain. Thomas, who is in the final season of a five-year contract, has 31 career sacks, including six last season. He was a Jets’ first-round pick out of UAB in 2002. He isn’t the flashiest player, but has been steadily productive, and may have been the Jets’ most versatile LB, possessing the ability to both rush the passer and cover. He also has been a pretty good run-stopper. All of his potential replacements are unproven. Westerman, Mauga and McIntyre have shown positive flashes in preseason and in practice, but none has produced on the field yet, although Mauga seems to be able to inject some much-needed speed into the Jets' LB corps. Maybin projects strictly as a situational pass rusher, but at least he did that well against Baltimore, with his first career sack and a pressure of Joe Flacco. He also provides speed.

Parents learn skills for raising highly capable kidsby Kalie Lowrie on May 5, 2014 in featureFORT WORTH - Twenty-nine parents from Manuel Jara Elementary School set aside time for 11 weeks this spring to learn tools, skills and confidence to raise healthy, caring, and responsible children through Parent University. A graduation ceremony was held on Wednesday, April 30, to recognize the achievement of the parents.Many officials from the city council, county and school board members were in attendance to celebrate the successful program.Funded through gifts from Primera Baptist Church in Fort Worth, the curriculum entitled Raising Highly Capable KIDS - Communities Empowering Families for Success has been proven to help build stronger families.Primera Baptist Church adopted Manuel Jara Elementary School two years ago and began investing in the children and families. They started a tutoring program which was very well received and Pastor Rafael Berlanga built a relationship with the school teachers and Principal Marta Plata. Berlanga and Plata talked several times about the need for parenting classes. When he heard through the Texas Baptist Hispanic Education Initiative about the curriculum, Raising Highly Capable Kids, he knew it would be a great fit for the school's need and approached Plata about starting a course in the spring."As a pastor I have seen that a lot of times when parents just haven't had the training on how to raise kids," Berlanga said. "It was perfect for what I knew parents needed and what the principal was looking for."Plata was eager to being the new program through Parent University, offering incentives along the way to encourage participation. Primera Baptist Church provided funds to purchase workbooks for each parent and Berlanga taught one of the courses. Three classes were offered, two in Spanish and one in English, and teachers volunteered their time to provide childcare so the parents could attend."I was overwhelmed with pride for the parents and when we first started the program," Plata said. "I thought that if I got 10 parents to commit, we would be doing well. We had 29 commit to start and 29 finish the program. It was wonderful!"As the weeks progressed, parents realized the importance of remaining committed and made it a priority in their lives. Principal Plata also called each parent every week to remind them of class or to let them know they were missed.Throughout the program, parenting techniques and skills were taught to the parents and open dialogues helped as they worked through the ideas and concepts."We had good discussions on our own childhood, our own experiences, some of the things we went through as children can help us in parenting today our own kids," Berlanga said."We had some single moms in my class," he continued. "One opened up and said she struggled. We were able to share with her to look outside of herself for help when she needs it, whether it's going to her own family or finding a support structure outside of the family - the church is a great place to turn. That's why it's there - to minister to your kids and help you grow."Importance was placed upon the parents being the first educators in the lives of their children. While teachers spend six hours a day with the kids, parents have a significant impact on their lifelong development."This was such a validation for parents that they are the most important teacher in their child's life and we are here to support you and what you are doing with your child," Plata said.During the graduation ceremony, many parents gave testimonies about how the class impacted their lives."I could feel their gratitude for what they learned," Plata said. "I wish every single school would do it. We are not going to affect real change until we affect the parents, until we affect the home. We need to support the parents and their efforts and what they are trying to do."Finishing the course was also a great accomplishment for many participants. One single mom only had a third grade education and had never been through a graduation ceremony before."For many Hispanic parents, this is the only course or program they will graduate from in their lifetime," said Gabriel Cortes, acting director of Texas Baptist Hispanic Education Initiative. "Graduating from something makes a lifelong impact in their lives and their families."Overall, Plata was extremely pleased with the results of the course and the impact she has seen already on her school campus. Plans are underway to start a new session of Parent University next year through a continued partnership with Primera Baptist Church."In public school we can't talk about God but we have to live it," Plata said. "Pastor Berlanga has been that to us. Not only did their church provide the funds to purchase the program but he showed up to teach a class. The parents love him. I know that he planted so many seeds [of the gospel] in their hearts. Maybe for the first time in their whole life they saw someone Christ-like, really truly being Christ to them. I absolutely admire him and know that truly God sent him to undergird what I am trying to do - what God is trying to do in this school and community."Raising High Capable Kids curriculum has been endorsed by the Texas Baptist Hispanic Education Initiative and training is available for churches and schools in English and Spanish."Raising Highly Capable Kids is one of the best programs available to get into schools and build relationships with parents and school staff with the goal of sharing Christ's love with them," said Cortes.For more information on receiving training on Raising Highly Capable Kids curriculum, contact Gabriel Cortes at or by phone at (214) 887-5426.

is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization located in Western New York that is made up of volunteers and staff all devoted to the club’s mission, “to promote, further and enhance all cat life”. We rely on donations to help us feed, medicate, and house over 300+ cats in our program – including our cats in foster care & satellite adoption locations. Ten Lives Club was founded in January 2001 by Marie Edwards who had a dream to save as many cats as possible. Since 2001 Ten Lives Club has touched the lives of over 20,000 cats and kittens that have come into our care. We celebrated our 14th Birthday on Saturday, January 31, 2015 with a big Ten Lives Club Birthday Bash! In 2013, Ten Lives Club rescued 1,661 unwanted, abused or stray cats. Ten Lives found 1,466 cats and kittens forever homes. In 2014, Ten Lives Club rescued 1,330 unwanted, abused or stray cats and kittens. We found 1,321 cats and kittens forever homes. During this same year, we also took in 576 cats from the Buffalo City Animal Shelter to reduce overcrowding in their facility. Ten Lives Club actively promotes and participates in reducing the over population of unwanted cats and kittens. For fourteen years, Ten Lives Club has participated in the annual "World Spay Day" on the last Tuesday in February which promotes the spaying and neutering of pets. In January 2014, TLC spayed & neutered 53 cats and kittens. Throughout 2014, Ten Lives Club spayed or neutered a total of 829 cats and kittens in our care. In addition, Ten Lives Club donates food and supplies to dedicated community volunteers who care for and support local feral/community cat colonies. We advocate and support the TNVR (Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate Release) laws in our local communities and work with Feral Focus of Western New York to lobby for changes in various city ordinances that continue to trap and kill community cats instead of embracing the much more humane and very effective approach of TVNR. Ten Lives Club is one of the few rescue organizations in Western New York who take in cats that test positive for FIV+ (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). At any given time, we will have over 40 FIV+ kitties in our program. We also work with local SPCA facilities to take in their FIV+ cats with the mutual goal of finding them ALL forever homes. Recently, Ten Lives Club fulfilled a long awaited dream of moving into a larger facility. The new shelter has made it possible for Ten Lives Club to expand their reach and provide care for even more cats and kittens. The new shelter, located at 3741 Lake Shore Road in Blasdell, New York, provides rescue services, a vet clinic and a much larger adoption center all under one roof. We rely heavily on donations from our generous supporters to help us feed, medicate and house over 300+ cats and kittens (including those in foster care) in our program. We also need additional funding for special care and services such as our Dental Program and Senior Cats for Senior Citizens Program.
