China said Monday that it never agreed to the “extravagant demands” U.S. negotiators made during April negotiations meant to solidify a trade deal between the world’s two largest economies. “We don’t know what this agreement is the United States is talking about,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said in comments to reporters. “Perhaps the United States has an agreement they all along had extravagant expectations for, but it’s certainly not a so-called agreement that China agreed to.” The White House earlier this month raised tariffs from 10 to 25 percent on $200 billion of Chinese imports after accusing Beijing of reneging on the terms of a deal. China retaliated last week, saying it will raise tariffs from 5 to 25 percent on $60 billion worth of U.S. goods, including coffee, batteries, and spinach. The Trump administration attempted “to achieve unreasonable interests through extreme pressure,” Kang said. “From the start this wouldn’t work.” The U.S. and China “had a very strong deal, we had a good deal, and they changed it. And I said, ‘That’s OK, we’re going to tariff their products,’” President Trump said last week. The tariffs have sparked a fierce backlash from critics who say they will hit American businesses, and by extension consumers, hard. Republican senator Pat Toomey called the tariff hike “very bad policy,” last week, saying that tariffs are a “dangerous and a painful tool that hits both the country against which the tariffs are being imposed and the country that is doing the imposition.” Meanwhile, the stock market dropped for four days at the beginning of this month as the U.S. prepared to make good on its threat to raise tariffs on China. The trade war between the two countries has heated up just ahead of next month’s G-20 summit in Japan, where President Trump plans to meet with Chinese president Xi Jinping.

Consumer Law and Disclosures The FTC and Credit Repair Fraudulent credit repair companies have long been the target of FTC investigations, culminating most recently in Project Credit Despair which snared 20 credit repair companies in February 2006. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is responsible for enforcing consumer protection laws in the United States. In its capacity, the FTC offers a number of suggestions and warnings to consumers regarding credit repair organizations. Beware of credit repair services that request fees in advance Phoenix Company does not charge you in advance for any services. It charges you only after the first-work, and the subsequent work from each month, has been performed. Beware of credit repair services that don't disclose your rights Consumers have the right to attempt credit repair on their own. Phoenix Company offers its affordable services to those clients who prefer having professionals managing their credit disputes and creditor interventions. Beware of credit repair services that advocate "new" identities It is unlawful to create a "new" identity by applying for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) to replace one's Social Security Number. File segregation is a serious crime that can result in fines or imprisonment. Beware of credit repair firms that misrepresent their expertise Claims such as "25 years of experience" can be misleading. That number often represents the combined years of staff experience, not the actual length of time that the firm has been in business. Beware of companies that imply FTC endorsement The FTC does not endorse any business. If a credit repair organization implies FTC endorsement, you would do well to proceed with caution. Beware of companies that are not Bonded and State Registered Surety Bonding and State Registration are key aspects of hiring competent and legal professionals to represent your credit disputes and creditor interventions. There are laws in place to protect the consumer from inaccurate and unverifiable credit reporting! Phoenix Company Credit Repair makes sure that these laws are being followed. Our first step is to audit the credit bureaus or creditors using the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act. These two laws have been established to protect consumers like you. Creditors and credit bureaus are legally obligated to produce documented evidence within a reasonable amount of time, generally 30 days, to back the claims they make about you. If our investigation proves that they cannot validate their claims, they must promptly remove any undocumented information from your credit report. A study by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group found that 70 percent of all credit reports contained errors. These black marks in your credit history can have devastating consequences: The most valuable thing we have is our good name. As consumers, the most common reflection of our reputation as someone who pays bills on time, is trustworthy and financially sound is our credit report. Unfortunately, the information contained in our credit reports, which are bought and sold daily to nearly anyone who requests and pays for them, does not always tell a true story. Credit bureaus collect and compile information about consumer credit worthiness from banks and other creditors and from public record sources such as lawsuits, tax liens and legal judgements. The three major credit bureaus -- Experian (formerly TRW), Equifax, and Trans Union -- maintain files on nearly 90 percent of all American adults. Those files are routinely sold to credit lenders, landlords, employers, insurance companies, and many others interested in the credit record of a consumer, often (legally) without the consumer's knowledge or permission. Conversely, consumers rarely check their credit record until after they've been denied or otherwise encountered a problem. Throughout the 1990s, credit report errors have been a serious problem that several states and Congress have addressed. This is the PIRGs' sixth study on credit report accuracy and privacy issues since 1991. The PIRGs have also participated in state and federal legislative battles to improve credit reporting laws. This report is our first investigation of credit report accuracy since 1996 Congressional changes to the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), designed to improve the accuracy and ease of access to reports, took effect in September 1997. The findings of Mistakes Can Happen are troubling. An alarming number of credit reports contain serious errors that could cause the denial of credit, a loan, or even a job. Further, some consumers never even received their reports, even after repeated calls. Among the major credit report accuracy findings of the survey: - Twenty-nine percent (29%) of the credit reports contained serious errors - false delinquencies or accounts that did not belong to the consumer - that could result in the denial of credit - Forty-one percent (41%) of the credit reports contained personal demographic identifying information that was misspelled, long-outdated, belonged to a stranger, or was otherwise incorrect - Twenty percent (20%) of the credit reports were missing major credit, loan, mortgage, or other consumer accounts that demonstrate the credit worthiness of the consumer - Twenty-six percent (26%) of the credit reports contained credit accounts that had been closed by the consumer but incorrectly remained listed as open - Altogether, 70% of the credit reports contained either serious errors or other mistakes of some kind. - Of the consumers that did obtain their credit reports, at least 14% of them were forced to call back 3 or more times after receiving busy signals or had to write a letter in order to receive their report - And 12% of the consumers waited two weeks or longer to receive their report once they finished requesting it. It took more than a month for one California man to receive his report. - Overall, 15% of consumers who attempted to participate in the survey either made at least 3 phone calls and never got through or requested their reports but never received them. Among the surveys major access to credit report findings: Your privacy is a top priority for Phoenix Company. With Phoenix Company, privacy is built in.

A girl from Swadlincote is taking on the challenge of opening her own florist shop, after working in one since she was a teenager. Naomi Simpson, from Woodville, will open her own shop Inspirations Florist and Furniture later this month after discovering her love for floristry when she got her first job working with flowers in Lichfield. The 23-year-old enjoys flower arranging and is looking forward to taking her hobby to the next level as she prepares to start her own business. Preparations have been under way for the opening for a month now, and family and friends have helped Naomi decorating the shop and putting the final touches together. Naomi said: "I'm really lucky to have such great family and friends. They've really helped me to get everything organised." The store, in High Street, Woodville, will offer floral arrangements for all occasions, from weddings to corporate events and funerals. Wanting to offer more than just a normal florist's, Naomi has combined another passion of hers to create her store. The shop will also offer shabby chic furniture, with everything from chairs and bookcases to vintage paintings and tableware. The budding businesswoman said: "I'm really excited to finally have my own store. It'll be closer to home, but the main thing is that it will be mine. I think it will take a little getting used to, though. It won't really feel like I'm going to work; I'll just be going to my shop. I'm just really excited for opening day." Inspirations will open on Saturday, August 12 and Naomi is hoping to celebrate the opening in style. The Prosecco will be flowing throughout the day, and exclusive discounts will be available on the day. There will also be a competition for budding brides to win a bouquet for their big day and buttonholes for their husbands-to-be. For more information visit Inspirations Florist and Furniture

The wall that surrounds bacteria to shield them from external assaults has long been a tantalizing target for drug therapies. Indeed, some of modern medicine’s most reliable antibiotics disarm harmful bacteria by disrupting the proteins that build their protective armor. For decades, scientists knew of only one wall-making protein family. Then, in 2016, a team of Harvard Medical School scientists discovered that a previously unsuspected family of proteins that regulate cell division and cell shape had a secret skill: building bacterial walls. Now, in another scientific first described in Nature, members of the same research team have revealed the molecular building blocks—and a structural weak spot—of a key member of that family. “Our latest findings reveal the molecular structure of RodA and identify targetable spots where new antibacterial drugs could bind and subvert its work,” said study senior investigator Andrew Kruse, associate professor of biological chemistry and molecular pharmacology at Harvard Medical School. The newly profiled protein, RodA, belongs to a family collectively known as SEDS proteins, present in nearly all bacteria. SEDS” near-ubiquity renders these proteins ideal targets for the development of broad-spectrum antibiotics to disrupt their structure and function, effectively neutralizing a range of harmful bacteria. A weak link In their earlier work, the scientists showed that RodA builds the cellular wall by knitting together large sugar molecules with clusters of amino acids. Once constructed, the wall encircles the bacterium, keeping it structurally intact, while repelling toxins, drugs and viruses. The latest findings, however, go a step further and pinpoint a potential weak link in the protein’s makeup. Specifically, the protein’s molecular profile reveals structural features reminiscent of other proteins whose architecture Kruse has disassembled. Among them, the cell receptors for the neurotransmitters acetylcholine and adrenaline, which are successfully targeted by medications that boost or stem the levels of these nerve-signaling chemicals to treat a range of conditions, including cardiac and respiratory diseases. One particular feature caught the scientists’ attention—a pocket-like cavity facing the outer surface of the protein. The size and shape of the cavity, along with the fact that it is accessible from the outside, make it a particularly appealing drug target, the researchers said. “What makes us excited is that this protein has a fairly discrete pocket that looks like it could be easily and effectively targeted with a drug that binds to it and interferes with the protein’s ability to do its job,” said study co-senior author David Rudner, professor of microbiology and immunobiology at Harvard Medical School. In a set of experiments, researchers altered the structure of RodA in two bacterial species—the textbook representatives of the two broad classes that make up most of disease-causing bacteria. One of them was Escherichia coli, which belongs to a class of organisms with a double-cell membrane known as gram-negative bacteria, so named due to a reaction to staining test used in microbiology. The other bacterium was Bacillus subtilis, a single-membrane organism that belongs to so-called gram-positive bacteria. When researchers induced even mild alterations to the structure of RodA’s cavity, the protein lost its ability to perform its work. E. coli and B. subtilis cells with disrupted RodA structure rapidly enlarged and became misshapen, eventually bursting and leaking their contents. “A chemical compound—an inhibitor—that binds to this pocket would interfere with the protein’s ability to synthesize and maintain the bacterial wall,” Rudner said. “That would, in essence, crack the wall, weaken the cell and set off a cascade that eventually causes it to die.” Additionally, because the protein is highly conserved across all bacterial species, the discovery of an inhibiting compound means that, at least in theory, a drug could work against many kinds of harmful bacteria. “This highlights the beauty of super-basic scientific discovery,” said co-investigator Thomas Bernhardt, professor of microbiology and immunobiology at Harvard Medical School. “You get to the most fundamental level of things that are found across all species, and when something works in one of them, chances are it will work across the board.” Solving for X To determine RodA’s structure, scientists used a visualization technique known as X-ray crystallography, which reveals the molecular architecture of protein crystals based on a pattern of scattered X-ray beams. The technique requires two variables—the intensity of scattered X-rays and a so-called “phase angle,” a property related to the configuration of the atoms in a protein. The latter is measured indirectly, typically by using a closely related protein as a substitute to calculate the variable. In this case, however, the team had on its hands a never-before-described protein with no known molecular siblings. “In most cases you can use a related structure and bootstrap to a solution,” Kruse said. “In this case, we couldn’t do that. We had to predict what RodA looked like without any prior information about it.” They needed a new way to solve for X. In a creative twist, researchers turned to evolution and predictive analytics. Working with Debora Marks, assistant professor of systems biology at Harvard Medical School, they constructed a virtual model of the RodA’s folding pattern by analyzing the sequences of its closest evolutionary cousins. The success of this “roundabout” approach, researchers said, circumvents a significant hurdle in field of structural biology and can open the doors toward defining the structures of many more newly discovered proteins. “These insights underscore the importance of creative crosspollination among scientists from multiple disciplines and departments,” said study first author Megan Sjodt, a research fellow in biological chemistry and molecular pharmacology at Harvard Medical School. “We believe our results set the stage for subsequent work toward the discovery and optimization of new classes of antibiotics.”

In preparation for Lent, the United Church of Christ Faith INFO (Faith Education, INnovation, and FOrmation) team has released a new resource, one that traverses the season of reflection and repentance through the writings and experiences of diverse group of youth and young adults from across the United Church of Christ. Young Voices: Stepping Out of the Wilderness is a 47 day devotional, with reflections from Ash Wednesday through Easter. It was written by UCC members between the ages of 12 and 35 who span the spectrum of gender identity, sexuality, racial, and ethnic diversity. This was the first major initiative to come from the Faith INFO team as it relates to youth and young adult ministries," said the Rev. Trayce Potter, UCC minister for youth & young adults, noting there had been an absence in this type of youth resource. "It was important for me to highlight our youth and young adults as a kickoff to say we are still here and we have something to contribute to the Church. Our writers are young people who will one day serve as pastors and board members and youth ministers. To be able to give them a platform where they could be heard in ways we don't traditionally give them was exciting." Potter wrote the first and last two entries of the devotional and curated the resource. Most of the featured scriptures are a part of the current lectionary cycle, with some chosen from last year's texts to engage some of the younger writers with more familiar passages. 15-year old Jackson Coleman wrote his passage on Psalms 27, "To Take Courage in Our Song," which appears on Day 13. "My church (Avon Lake United Church of Christ, Avon Lake, Ohio) has helped me grow in spirit to heights I never thought I would be able to climb. So when my Youth Minister informed me of this opportunity, I felt as though I owed my church for everything it has done for me. This writing seemed a perfect outlet to express my gratitude and give back. "It's difficult to say one thing that inspired me to write what I did, and I know it took me a long time to finally put something that felt right onto the page," Coleman continued. "But suddenly, as I was reading my passage, the words took on a meaning of their own, and I was writing away. Something just felt right, and the words just struck. I only hope my words inspire people as the scripture inspired me. 17-year old Lauren Winkleblack wrote her reflection around Isaiah 40:4-9, entitled "Being the Hands and Feet of a Loving and Accepting God" that appears on Day 41. She touched on her challenges of being part of an open and affirming church in Simsbury, Conn., faced with other Christians who do not feel as if the church should accept and love members of the LGBTQ community. "I love how the UCC is intentional about welcoming everyone and accepts people from all walks of life and who are at different places on their faith journey. I was inspired to write my devotional because I had a close friend who criticized my church for being accepting of the LGBTQ community and I felt passionate about God's unconditional love towards all and how I intend to continue looking beyond criticisms and choosing to simply love others as God does." The artwork for Young Voices: Stepping Out of the Wilderness was done by Ted Dawson who has helped create several other UCC publications and coloring books. "Ted was able to draft something for each day, which we crafted to better fit the writer's words, tone and story," Potter said. "Some of the writers included very personal details about their story and faith journey. We wanted to honor that in any way we could." Derek Tam, music director at First Church Berkeley, in California, touched on a tragic fire which heavily damaged his church in September 2016, writing "Meeting Our Needs," around John 12:20-33, which appears on Day 39. "I agreed to write for this project because I really appreciated the opportunity to engage with scripture in a deeper way. Grappling with my particular passage, which featured a group of Greeks trying to seeing Jesus in the week before his crucifixion, I was inspired by my church family (and the UCC at large) in all its diversity, and how every person in that community makes the body of Christ more whole and perfect. I also drew inspiration from how our community is dealing with the continuing effects of a major fire on our campus. We are learning to better discern our needs and to always listen for God's voice in the midst of sometimes difficult conversations, and found that reflected in the passage as well." The resource covers several Sundays, as well as the traditional forty days of Lent, representing the time Jesus spent in the wilderness, enduring the temptation of Satan and preparing to begin his ministry. In this time of self-examination, the Rev. Traci Blackmon invites members "to step out of the wilderness, to leave the comfort of our routines and our theological certainties to follow Jesus. Every day is a journey with a unique voice to prompt our personal exploration. We are deeply grateful to every youth and young adult that dared to take this journey, for the gift of their writing, for the sharing of their spirits." The Faith INFO team, created in September, committed to equipping local congregations with resources to teach and to preach for all ages, curating and creating materials where needed. This Lenten Devotional is the first of many resources in the voice of youth and young adults. 15-year old Avery Lapis, of First Congregational Church of South Hadley, Mass., wrote "Seeing a different Jesus" on Day 45 about Mark 15: 1-39. "I knew this project would allow me to dig deeper in my faith and to explore more into my relationship with Jesus. As I have been becoming more involved in the wider church, I am more aware of how much my faith impacts my life. Writing this devotional was another opportunity for me to explore this and I am extremely grateful for that. "The inspiration I had while writing was that I knew I would be able to strengthen my relationship with Jesus while writing about him and the crucifixion," she continued. "As I was writing, I was able to put my own thoughts and opinions into the story and this was a way for me to gain more knowledge on how I view my relationship with Jesus and how others may view theirs. It was a very inspirational learning experience for me." Young Voices: Stepping Out of the Wilderness is available for download only from UCC Resources at a cost of $5. Proceeds will be used for additional programs and outreach for youth and young adults in the United Church of Christ.

MANILA, Philippines – At least 15,000 people are expected to stage a rally to express support for President Rodrigo Duterte during his fourth State of the Nation Address (SONA) at the Batasang Pambansa in Quezon City on Monday. Among the pro-Duterte groups who have begun to gather at the Batasan Hills are Friends of Rody Duterte (FORD), Koalisyon ng Maralita, D4 Movement for Federalism, Alliance Reform Philippines, Hugpong ng Pagbabago Movement, Inc., and United Defenders of Democracy. Persons participating in the pro-Duterte rally are wearing shirts in red, white and blue colors. Rally organizers said more Duterte supporters are expected to arrive this afternoon. A short program is slated to begin around 2 p.m. Pro-Duterte groups also expressed hope that the president will talk about the Federalism proposal in his SONA speech later. They also hope that Duterte will grant their request to grace their program after the SONA. The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) said some pro-Duterte groups have coordinated their plans of staging a rally and were directed to occupy the IBP Road near Polytechnic University of the Philippines in Quezon City. The NCRPO appealed anew to rally organizers not to go near the anti-Duterte rally to taunt or shout invectives as this may incite trouble. Police also discouraged rally goers from bringing bags and backpacks or wearing of jackets that may be used to sneak in bombs or explosives. The Philippine National Police Station 6 has been assigned to monitor the pro-Duterte rally in the area. (with details from Aiko Miguel) MANILA, Philippines — President Rodrigo Duterte maintained that he will raise the arbitral ruling that favors the Philippines in the disputed territories in the West Philippine Sea when he visits China next week. Duterte is scheduled to fly to China for a working visit from August 28 to September 3. He will meet Chinese president Xi Jinping and talk about the Hague ruling, the code of conduct, as well as the proposed joint oil exploration in the West Philippine Sea. “So whether you like it or not, would it make you happy or not, angry or otherwise. Sorry, but we have to talk the arbitral ruling, then what we get, if there is a start of the exploration and extraction of whatever there is in the bowels of the earth,” the President said during the inauguration of the 7.5 megawatt peak solar power project in the municipality of Odiongan, Tablas Island in Romblon on Wednesday (August 21). “The proposal of 60-40 in our favor, would be a good start. I hope it would graduate to something like towards how do we solve the arbitral ruling peacefully,” he added. The event was the President’s first public engagement after being out of the public eye for more than a week. – MNP (with details from Rosalie Coz) MANILA, Philippines – Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana has lauded President Rodrigo Duterte’s move to require foreign vessels to first secure a clearance from the government before entering the Philippine waters. “That is a very good development. At least now we have some authority to enforce our laws within our territorial waters,” Lorenzana said Tuesday. Earlier, Duterte, through spokesman Salvador Panelo, issued a directive for all foreign vessels to provide notification and get clearance from proper government authority in advance of the actual passage. He also warned foreign vessels that Manila will either get compliance in a friendly manner or enforce it in an unfriendly manner. When asked to elaborate, Panelo explained that by saying ‘unfriendly,’ it means blocking entry to any foreign vessels intruding in the Philippine territory. He, however, clarified that the President’s order didn’t mean an automatic use of force against intruders. “By that it means that we will ask them to move out of the place, that’s unfriendly, because before we never said anything, we just allow them, we just make protest, but this time, we will tell them, please get out of our territorial waters,” Panelo said. Lorenzana, for his part, could not say yet the “unfriendly option” the Philippine Military could use to ward of intruders into the country’s waters. The Defense chief said he will defer the matter to the Philippine Navy. (RRD with details from Correspondent Joan Nano) UNTV is a major TV broadcast network with 24-hour programming. An Ultra High Frequency station with strong brand content that appeal to everyone, UNTV is one of the most trusted and successful Philippine networks that guarantees wholesome and quality viewing experience.

Forgotten Nintendo game sold for $9,000 after 30 years in an attic Scott Amos says his mom's been after him to get his childhood junk out of her Reno, Nevada, attic since he moved out on his own more than 20 years ago, and now, his whole family is glad he did. When he went through one of the boxes, he came across a rare unopened copy of the Nintendo Entertainment System game "Kid Icarus" that has been sold at auction for $9,000, including the buyer's premium. The shrink-wrapped cartridge was still in a JCPenney bag, along with a receipt showing that it was purchased in December 1988, when Amos was 9. Amos says the game has been the talk of the family since he picked up the boxes for Mother's Day. "Our only theory is that it was a Christmas present my mom bought for us and never actually gave to us," he said. His mom didn't remember it, and when he told her about it, she said, "I paid $34.99 for a stupid video game?" It was actually $38.45 with taxes and fees. Amos, 40, said he knows nothing about video games or collecting, but he thought it might be worth a couple of hundred dollars on eBay. "I just left it on the kitchen counter, within reach of my two small kids or the dog or anything else," Amos said. He contacted Wata Games, a Denver company that grades the condition of video games for collectors. "He provided me some photos, and I said, 'What you have there is something special, and it's worth a pretty good chunk of change if it's authentic,'" Wata Games CEO Deniz Kahn said. "I remember calling my wife, and I'm like, 'Hey, you know that game I left? Please put it somewhere important. I don't want the kids drawing on it or anything or opening it,'" Amos said. Kahn told Amos that a "Kid Icarus" cartridge in similar shape sold for more than $10,000, but his company would have to see it to authenticate it. "My biggest question was, 'How do you ship a $10,000, or possible $10,000 game?'" Amos said. The mechanical engineer bought four packages of bubble wrap and swaddled the cartridge until it was about 2 feet around. Then he shipped it to Denver with lots of insurance. Wata said that the game was real and that it was in great shape, especially after decades in a Reno attic. It rated the box's condition as an 8 out of 10 and the wrapper as an A (the highest grade is an A++). Wata charges a fee to evaluate games and put them in tamper-proof boxes, but doesn't make any money from the sale of the games. Kahn connected Amos with Heritage Auctions, which sold the game. "'Kid Icarus' is one of those really iconic titles for the Nintendo Entertainment System," said Valarie McLeckie, video game consignment director at Heritage Auctions. "Finding a sealed copy in the wild is very difficult. It's nigh to impossible because there's less than 10 known sealed that are in the hands of collectors currently, and we don't suspect that there are very many, if any, [more] that are still sealed." She said it's even more rare to find a game that still has its original price tag and receipts. Amos says he played "Kid Icarus" at a neighbor's house a couple of times, but all he remembers is that it was really hard. "I probably did ask for it for Christmas, or my sister [did]," Amos said. "That's a debate in my family, who it was really meant for." The siblings avoided family drama by agreeing to split the proceeds of the sale 50/50. They had planned to spend the money on something practical, like bills, Amos said, but they've decided to do something more memorable. "Now we've all come to an agreement that it's been such a family affair, we should continue the fun with a Disney vacation," he said. And of course, he said, they'll take their mom and dad, who bought the game in the first place.

June: No better time to celebrate gardening By Katie Jackson Summer officially arrives on June 21, the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere and the day that myriad cultures have, for thousands of years, celebrated as the Summer Solstice. However, that’s only one of many days in June that are cause for celebration, especially for those who love to garden or love the bounty of summer gardening. Actually, the whole month of June is chock full of garden-related celebrations. June is not only designated as National Rose Month, it’s also National Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month. In addition, there are numerous June days set aside for special celebrations such as National Gardening Exercise Day (June 6), Red Rose Day (June 12), Fresh Veggies Day (June 16), Eat Your Vegetables Day (June 17), Butterfly Day (June 19), National Fried Okra Day (June 25) and The Great American Backyard Campout day (June 28). Oh, and let’s not forget June 15, which lends itself to another garden-related celebration opportunity—Dad—or Father’s Day, that is. Whether the dad in your life likes to garden or not, you can incorporate a little garden in your Father’s Day plans. Take him on a special outing, maybe even with lunch included, to a nearby public garden or park or on a shopping trip to a local home and garden center where he can choose his own gift, be it for the garden or for any other manly pursuit. If you have a garden-loving dad, give him a handsome watering can—or wheelbarrow if you want to make a big statement—filled with hand tools, gloves, a hat, seeds, plants, a bag or two of compost or potting soil and other items that can keep him safe and protected from the elements (sunscreen, poison ivy lotion and insect repellent come to mind). Or go all out and buy him that giant composter, super-powered hedge trimmer, quirky garden sculpture, luxurious birdbath or other extravagance that he has been admiring from afar. If you’re short on funds, offer to do some yard work for him. Dads and granddads can also organize their own celebrations by making lasting memories: Take the children and grandchildren for a day in the woods or at a public garden with a picnic, or spend a day helping members of the family’s next generation plant a garden of their very own. By the way, don’t assume that plants and flowers are only for moms. Many men appreciate getting botanical gifts ranging from things they can plant in their yards and gardens to house plants to, yes, even cut flowers. Though white and red roses are considered the official flowers of Father’s Day (white roses are worn in honor of deceased fathers, red roses for living fathers), there are many other beautiful flowers that are still masculine enough for even the most stoic father figure. And they can also convey special meaning. For example, daffodils signify chivalry, gladioli symbolize preparedness, strength and stability and delphiniums represent boldness. Speaking of meaningful ways to bring gardening into celebrations, tap into those amazing summer blooms to decorate or adorn any June wedding event or for use in bridal bouquets and other floral adornments of the wedding party. Many summer-blooming flowers convey special meanings of their own: Daisies say “share your feelings;” gardenias stand for love, purity and joy; hydrangeas represent friendship, devotion and understanding; roses symbolize love, joy and beauty; and ivy represents wedded love, fidelity, friendship and affection. And don’t forget the garden as you buy gifts for the newlyweds. They may well need lots of gardening tools and equipment as they setup housekeeping together, plus plants as gifts symbolize the couple’s ever-growing love. As you pick plants for any gift-giving event, though, take care to choose ones that are easy-care and that don’t convey any negative cultural meanings. A quick Internet search or trip to the library can help determine the best options and the various cultural meanings of each plant or flower, or ask your local florist or nursery operator for help. Certainly these special days and occasions are great ways to get summer off to a festive start, but really, do we need an excuse? We can simply revel in the bounty of the summer garden season, which even non-gardeners can celebrate by visiting the roadside stands, u-pick operations and community farmers markets that have opened across the state. Whether you’re longing for the first fresh local tomato of the season or a carton of plump blueberries, honey from your neighborhood bees, fresh herbs and cut flowers or even locally made breads, jams and cheeses (June is also National Dairy Month, after all), they’re likely to be showing up this month at one of the state’s many farmers market outlets. According to the Alabama Farmers Market Authority in Montgomery, there are now more than 150 farmers markets in the state to choose among, so finding one where you live or as you vacation is easy. Visit www.fma.alabama.gov for a complete listing. With so many ways to celebrate it may be difficult to narrow down the options, but whatever you do just make sure to relish these long days of summer, even if it’s just sitting on the front porch with a cool drink and watching the birds fly by or the grass grow. *Pinch back leggy annuals or tender perennials and deadhead flowers (gently pinch off spent flowers) to prolong blooming. *Check roses for signs of disease or insect damage and immediately treat any problems. *Trim back dried and dead foliage from spring flowering bulbs. Divide and thin daffodil bulbs. *Fertilize rhododendrons, camellias, azaleas and other flowering shrubs as soon as they have finished blooming. *Thin the number of fruits on apple, pear, peach and other fruit trees. *Keep an eye out for weeds, insects and disease in all your garden areas and also on houseplants. *Make sure potted plants are kept sufficiently watered. They dry out more rapidly than in-ground plants. *Mow lawns weekly, or often enough so you don’t clip more than an inch off the height at each mowing. *Fertilize the lawn and treat for dandelions and other lawn weeds. *Plant seeds for beans, field peas, melons, pumpkins, squash and corn. Set out transplants of tomatoes, peppers and eggplants. *Keep an eye out for insect and disease problems on all your plants—vegetables, flowers, shrubs and lawns. Treat outbreaks immediately before infestations or infections get out of control. *Water landscape, garden and lawn plants with long, less frequent soaking.

When discussing the greatest pop artists of all time there is a lot of subjectivity involved, but there is also a sort of short list that most people can agree upon. I am going to focus on that and discuss 3 artists on that list that I think have had such a profound impact on not only pop music, but also pop culture as well. In no particular order: 1. Michael Jackson, aka the King of Pop Michael is the undisputed King of Pop music. He embodies everything that any pop male singer, pop female singer, pop band, and any pop artist in general need to make an impact. The thing is though – he has all of that and so much more. The term X factor should just point to a picture of him. He was innovative and the way he danced and invented so many signature moves was just one aspect of his genius. Michael was also a true musician. He could hear the melodies, feel the grooves and was so in tune with his inner self – he naturally just knew when it was cool and when it wasn’t. His pop songs such as “Rock with You,” “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough,” “Thriller,” “Man in the Mirror,” “Black or White,” “The Way you Make me Feel,” and so many more have become the gold standard of pop music and music in general. 2. Whitney Houston Whitney had a voice that was otherworldly. The way she was able to channel so much in that voice that you could hear the pain and the joy and truth and tragedy. She also had that fearless X factor quality where she stepped on stage or walked into a room and the vibrations changed. Her pop albums were unrivaled in the late 80’s, early 90’s and despite her troubled personal life, she is remembered most for her amazing music contributions. Even in 2016, on shows like American Idol and The Voice, young pop artists are competing with pop covers of Houston’s catalog and they still sound as fresh today as they did then because great music is timeless. 3. The Beatles The Beatles are my all time favorite band without question, and while some people may consider them as more of a rock band, they redefined modern pop music. They really pioneered the 3-minute pop song that is still the standard today. Their early pop hits such as “She Loves You,” and “I Wanna Hold Your Hand,” gave you everything you need in a great pop song (catchy melody, great harmonies and memorable lyrics) all packaged in a perfect 3-minute package. However, the Beatles really are at the top of the pack because they evolved and colored outside the lines. With the help of George Martin, they really created the modern pop and rock music landscapes. Albums such as Sgt. Pepper, Abbey Road, and Let it Be really are master class for all pop artists and especially for any aspiring songwriter. Study these!!

Last night we slept on a high point on the Big Horn Pass in northern WY. I had trouble sleeping and was awake at about 3 AM. I got up and wandered about in the bright moonlight and perfect silence. It’s amazing how bright it is out in the wilderness in the middle of the night with a nearly full moon. After a bit, I went back to bed and read until I noticed red light hitting my hands. I got up to one of the most amazing sunsets I have ever experienced. The birds were singing and the elk in the meadow were making lots of strange sounds. So, things are looking worse in Igor’s engine compartment. His head gaskets are leaky and creating pressure in the coolant system. This is causing us to leak coolant like crazy out of the top cap and that in turn is aggravating the heat in the engine… Tom explained the basics of how this works to me and in my head Igor is suffering from pulmonary edema secondary to congestive heart failure brought on by a leaky valve. Anyway, Igor is sick and he needs attention so we’re bailing on Devil’s Tower for now and heading straight to Denver, driving in only the coolest parts of the day and taking frequent stopping breaks to add more fluid to the coolant system. This has us stopping in places that we would otherwise over look. For example Sheridan WY. An interesting little town of cheap motels close to the interstate but with a busy historic downtown area. Made even busier by the fact that we rolled in while they were setting up for the Parade. The very nice gent at the True Value Hardware downtown explained that it’s Rodeo weekend. It reminded me of a town in Portugal where we accidently drove in along the main strip just in front of the running of the bulls. How do we get stuck in these things? We drove for a bit and then pulled off at a little lake to sit out the hot part of the day. Thanks to Igor we had shelter, food, shade and plenty of water. Time to take a nap to make up for my fabulous night and sunrise. We resumed driving again close to sunset and the van was doing OK. We’re cautiously optimistic that we should be able to make it to Golden CO without incident. Now if only we can sort out our housing and dog care issues… Glendo state park tomorrow for some riding and rest time.

Meet Emily Davis, a familiar face in the National Young Stars competition, having won the dairy section twice in 2016 and 2017 as part of the Jersey Dream Team and the Jersey Girls. Here’s what Emily had to say about the National Young Stars Event: “National Young Stars is by far the best competition I have ever competed in, giving me many opportunities for the future. It gave me confidence and knowledge that will set me up for life and best of all I got the chance to meet like-minded people.” Emily has just completed her GCSEs and hopes to study towards a level 3 diploma in agriculture at Cannington College. Emily was fortunate enough to go to Canada during one of the National Young Stars exchanges and wishes to return to gain further knowledge about dairy genetics in the future! Elin Havard won the sheep section in 2015 as part of the Heads Up Team. Since competing, Elin has completed an undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences at Oxford University and will be graduating the week before the Royal Welsh Show (we hope you get the result you are looking for and can enjoy the show)! She go on to begin a two year graduate scheme at Tesco Food in September. Here is what Elin had to say about the National Young Stars event: “The three of us had a great time representing the Badger Face Welsh Mountain Sheep Society at NYS 2015. The fun we had whilst preparing for the event, the looks we received from passers-by as we moved two ewes from our broken-down lorry into a trailer on the M50, and the wonderful people we met made it an unforgettable experience; and leaving with the red rosette was just a bonus!” Abi Marshall won the competition in 2016 as part of the Jersey Dreams Team. Abi has just finished doing her GCSEs and is planning to study for a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Agriculture at college. We wish her all the best with the upcoming results and hope to see her at the event again this year! The dairy section grows in both numbers and strength each year so watch this space for the action and results!

Three: Dormouse Enlightened - Dormouse - An End - 2:16 As a preface I'll begin with the moment of the release of this album - the end of the 00s or 2009. The progressive rock music is close to another peak at its creativeness after the late 70s. So I want to be a good prophet, when I say the 10s will be the revival of the most accomplished works of progressive rock. The preparation for this began probably somewhere in 2006 with a lot of creativeness in all consecutive years after that - 2007, 2008, 2009. One of the most authentic proof about my above words is the newest album by Phideaux called Number Seven. This remarkable work of art is strong and true candidate of best album for 2009 and valued candidate of greatest crossover prog album of all time (in our PA sub-genre division) as well. Number Seven is a perfect blend of classic art rock with fibres of celtic folklore, country music, classical music and psychedelia. Everything is combined very mature. For example, melancholic and cheerful moments goes hand-in- hand perfectly. Phideaux's Number Seven is very similar and strongly reminds me to some preceding artists like Pink Floyd and Mike Oldfield (my favourites). So, of course, it's highly recommended to all the fans of Pink Floyd and Mike Oldfield. Where exactly the similarity is? The similarity with Pink Floyd could be found in some very elegant psychedelic moments, the way of structuring of all harmony back vocals, crystal guitar solos, the slow precise drumming and bass playing styles at the beginning of ideological part or shifting the tempo at the middle, and, of course, some acoustic moments including the male vocals. The similarity with Mike Oldfield could be found mostly in specific crossover-typed structure with returning and repeating motifs and mainly in celtic-oriented folklore music, but I should not forget the female vocals, which are very close. And now it's time for the most important part of my review - the structure of the album. Yeah, it's the most important part for any crossover prog album, because it's the charm of this sub-genre. Here the structure of the album is divided in three part. All of them are constructed absolutely precise with logical links between. Each of the phases contains its own logical inception of the action, development of the action, culmination, denouement and an end. Moreover, the beginning and the end are connected, too! The themes and motifs of the composition are implicated into a chess game. There are so many turns and you can't remember everything. With every next playing you realize more and more new moments. So you have to remember you turns and their meanings, if you want to win the game/understand something.

07/27/2019 10:00 PM - ST. PAUL, MN - On a second-chance prom night at CHS Field, the Kansas City T-Bones (32-31) took the first dance, winning game one over the St. Paul Saints (40-25) 2-1 in extra innings. St. Paul got on base first with a ground rule double by Dan Motl, but it wasn’t enough to score for the Saints. The Saints, however, redeemed themselves as they got on the board first in the bottom of the second when Jeremy Martinez hit a solo home run, making it 1-0 off of Jon Perrin the KC starter. Perrin would go on to toss a quality start for the T-Bones working seven innings scattering four hits. The T-Bones attempted to score in the top of the fourth, when Dylan Tice advanced to first on an error by the second baseman, Chesny Young. Mason Davis moved Tice to second with a sacrifice bunt. Then when Daniel Nava was up to bat, Tice advanced to third on a wild pitch, but KC struggled to bring runners home. Kansas City once again attempted to turn up the heat in the top of the seventh when Nava hit a single off Karch Kawalczyk. Then, Christopher Colabello advanced to first on a walk that advanced Nava to second. Tyler Marincov also hit a single that advanced Colabello to second and Nava to third, but again the T-Bones failed to bring runners home. With two outs in the top of the ninth inning the T-Bones got runners at the corners off Saints closer Todd Van Steensel. Danny Mars hit a single to center that scored Nava to tie the game at one apiece and the teams would be forced to extra innings, after a 1-2-3 ninth from T-Bones lefty Carlos Diaz. Kansas City broke the tie in the top of the eleventh when Mars hit a solo home run off lefty Ken Frosch with two outs, making the score 2-1. Robert Calvano (2-2) kept the Saints from coming back in the bottom of the 11th, earning the win for the Kansas City T-Bones. The losing pitcher is Ken Frosch (2-3) for the St.Paul Saints. The win marks the 999th regular-season win for manager Joe Calfapietra. The two teams will play game two of the three game series Sunday, July 28th with a first pitch scheduled for 5:05 p.m. Hear all the action on the T-Bones Broadcast Network. KC will return home on June 30th to face the Sioux Falls Canaries in a three-game series at JustBats Field at T-Bones Stadium.

As a 21-year-old in the Deputy Sheriff Basic Training Academy, Dante Austin listened while his instructors “breezed over this idea that there are LGBT officers.” The Philadelphia Sheriff’s Office had already hired him, knowing that he lived with his boyfriend. “In week one, there were lots of comments and remarks that people made that bothered me,” said Austin, who turned his reaction into a presentation on cultural diversity later in the training program at Penn State, University Park. Before Austin addressed the issue, he talked with another man, who was the only other gay cadet he knew in the program. The cadet, 33 at the time, had not come out to his friends and family, much less colleagues at work. But during Austin’s presentation about gay men and women in law enforcement, the cadet came out. “He comes from a small county, but now he’s out with everyone at home and in his office,” he said. Austin has been open with his colleagues since the beginning — even in an office of 300, “if someone comes out, everybody knows about it,” he said — but recently he gained the opportunity to form a brotherhood and sisterhood with other out law-enforcement officials from the region. A ‘GOAL’ accomplished The Greater Philadelphia Gay Officer Action League, called GOAL, started in earnest this fall, after being discussed for eight months. Nellie Fitzpatrick, director of the city Office of LGBT Affairs, said the organization is for all LGBT-identified law-enforcement officials and includes Philadelphia police officers, probation and parole officers and some officers from Bucks County. GOAL chapters also operate in New York City, Chicago and New England. Mayor Michael Nutter called the group “a fraternal organization of LGBT law-enforcement officers working to create positive change … by supporting LGBT officers and their families,” in an announcement posted to YouTube in November. “I feel a difference already, even just with the small amount of people we have jumping on board with us,” said Donna Jaconi, a Philadelphia police officer in the crime-scene unit and interim treasurer of GOAL. The organization’s more than 60 members voted on its office holders this month. Results will be formalized in January. A mission statement and website are expected in the new year. Deputy Commissioner Kevin Bethel, the outgoing LGBT liaison with the Philadelphia police, called the group “one of the shining jewels” of his tenure. “It’s a start to take on LGBT issues inside the department,” Bethel said earlier this month at a City Council meeting, where he was being honored for his career accomplishments. Austin of the sheriff’s office said his supervisor was the one who first told him about GOAL and encouraged him to join. “I typed up this nice memo asking the sheriff,” Austin said. “He said, ‘Yea, absolutely.’” Fitzpatrick said it “speaks volumes for setting the tone for change” to have department leaders support GOAL and its officers. Katie Lankford, a police officer in the 22nd District in North Philadelphia, said the visibility of officers in GOAL could bring change to non-LGBT members of the force. “What would give most people pause is the ‘locker-room talk,’” she said. “When you hear people say ‘dyke’ or ‘gay’ as an insult, you think, Maybe I shouldn’t talk about this.” “It’s just words to them,” Lankford continued. “They’re trying to fit in and be funny and they don’t understand the consequences.” Austin remembered feeling stressed when his interview for the sheriff’s office included a standard question about how the people the applicant lives with might react to the applicant bringing a gun home at night. Jaconi had a similar experience with the police department. “When you do your interview and it’s like, ‘Who do you live with?’ Do you say, ‘My roommate’ or ‘My friend?’ Do you lie?” “Words have weight,” Fitzpatrick said. “Words change relationships.” The fact that these LGBT officers have camaraderie with each other helps. Jaconi said not every officer who participates in GOAL is out at work or with family. She remembered one person who was still closeted at a recent meeting. “It’s a big step, coming out to everyone,” she said. “I saw every single person from GOAL text that person and say, ‘Are you okay?’ It felt good to have this group.” Out in the community Fitzpatrick, Jaconi, Lankford and Austin met up in the parking lot of the 22nd District on a recent Monday evening. It was mild for December and the mood was jocular as the officials organized donated toiletries in boxes covered in wrapping paper and gift bags. Fitzpatrick had arranged for GOAL officers to take the items to Divine Light, a new LGBT-housing shelter on North Hutchinson Street. Sakina Dean opened the 31-bedroom home this fall and Deja Lynn Alvarez took over as the director this month. Alvarez also works with the Trans-Health Information Project at GALAEI: A Queer Latin@ Social Justice Organization. Six GOAL officers presented the toothbrushes, deodorant and shaving cream, among other things, to a roomful of nearly 20 Divine Light residents on Dec. 21. “This is the first time they did anything as a group,” Fitzpatrick said after hugging a number of the residents. “It’s for you guys. It’s to reach out to the community.” Many people in the room had tears in their eyes, from the residents to Alvarez. “A lot of us have had bad experiences with the police, especially in the trans community,” Morgan Drake, 22, told the police officers while thanking them for the donations. “I just hope that from here, you can help other officers that aren’t that familiar with our community to be a little bit more respectful and not so quick to lock us up.” The Divine Light resident told PGN she had interacted with some police who did not respect her pronouns. She was happy to meet the gay and transgender officers at the shelter. “It’s a big message that says our community is now part of the law, not only breaking it,” Drake said. “It’s nice to know there are people like me in the field.” Another Divine Light resident, Leah Smith, 24, agreed that it made her feel safer to be introduced to LGBT police officers. “These officers can level with us to understand where we’re coming from,” she said. Smith told PGN she has felt afraid to stand on street corners for fear the police would think she was soliciting. “When I see cops, I go the other way, just to refrain from anything,” Smith said. “It’s a good feeling to feel that we matter even to the law.”

A selection of our recent reviews. "We could not have asked for a better performance" Greshams School - May Ball Just a quick message of thanks from myself and all who were present at the Tallis May Ball on May 16th. We could not have asked for a better performance, and the fact that you had virtually all of the 150 students present on the dance floor for the entirely of both your sets speaks for itself. The comments following this event from the students were very complimentary to the band although I will refrain from quoting them directly as the flattery from such numbers of eighteen year old girls would be to the serious detriment of your health. "A night I shall always remember" Jackie - Birthday Party A very big thank you to yourself and your band for your fabulous entertainment last night, I have received many compliments from guests on your performance. Thank you for helping to make my birthday party so successful "We would love to have you back" University of Durham - University Ball Thanks for a great night guys. Keep in touch. We would love to have you back. "You guys really made the birthday very special" Max and Andrea - Birthday Party You guys really made the holiday/ Birthday very special and brought back so many great memories and made even better new ones, even my children think I have good taste in music . Many many thanks and look forward to seeing and hearing you again. Regards Max "You were absolutely sensational" Katie - Charity Ball You were absolutely sensational and my only sadness is that everything went on for too long which resulted in too little of you! Next time (??!!!) shorter - or no - auction and later finish time! You've been warned. Thank you so very very much for being such a superstar and support. "The best party ever!!!" Jane and Jim - Wedding I'm Nick's new mother in law!! As Nick booked you for their wedding evening and organised everything with you I haven't emailed you before but I had to let you know that EVERYONE that I have spoken to has been full of praise for the band at the wedding!! You were absolutely brilliant!! The range of music and vocals was amazing and everyone has such a good evening. I don't think I have ever seen such a packed dance floor with everyone enjoying themselves so much. The sight of Emma and Nick raised up on friends' shoulders with all the guests singing along to Mr Brightside will stay with me forever!! You really made Emma and Nick's wedding evening truly magical and memorable - the best party ever!!! Thank you to all the band. "Here's to the next time!" Jo G. - Wedding What a success! The Top Hat Band are indeed the tops. What more can we say. Super vocalists, wonderful saxophonist and music just to our taste. Thank you so much to the band for making it such a great evening for everyone to enjoy; we've never seen a dance floor so consistently packed! Thanks also for transferring my old college records onto discs and for the charming rendition of "How deep is the ocean". Here's to the next time. "We were thrilled" Serena S-J - Wedding A big thank you to you all for our band being such a success at Danesfield on 22nd June. We were thrilled. "The dance floor was heaving" Vicky and Jim de T. - Wedding Thank you so much for a great evening of music and entertainment. The band were absolutely brilliant and everyone of our guests enjoyed the evening thoroughly. The dance floor was heaving and the music was out of this world. It made the entire day and finished such a fantastic day off brilliantly. The band were professional and entertained our guests all evening. Thanks again for all your hard work to make our day as special as it was. "A memorable occasion" Jill and Peter - Wedding Peter and I would like to thank you and your band most sincerely for your wonderful performance. You helped to make the day so perfect and all our guests enjoyed the music and your professionalism. Liz E. - Wedding I have been wanting to get in touch for ages but unfortunately life has been a little hectic since the 20th so I though an email would be the way forward... to say a huge huge huge thank you to the band for making the very best of extremely difficult circumstances at our reception on the 20th after the extremely high winds brought down a tree onto the local substation which had a disastrous effect on the electricity at the racecourse. I wanted to ask you to pass on our huge thankyous to the band. They were just fantastic, totally un-flappable and were so calm and extremely reassuring that they would plan on regardless... and they did. Our first dance was perfect and I know the dance floor was packed until the electricity totally piled in and led to us having to evacuate. I have had so many people telling me how amazing they thought the band were and even when we were all kicked out of the racecourse due to fire hazard caused by the electricity totally failing, they grabbed the guitars on the steps outside in very chilly weather and carried on singing. I am sure that many other bands would have thrown the towel in and left us to freeze but your guys really were just brilliant... we had such a superb, fantastic day and had such a brilliant party planned. Even the poor pig roast had to go to waste and I had been so looking forward to the band but the weather unfortunately had other ideas. But I just wanted to let you know just how fantastic the band were in such difficult circumstances. I really cannot thank you enough. You were so easy to work with in the lead up to the wedding as well that we will certainly be in touch again for the next bash. Rory C. - Wedding Please pass on my sincere thanks to the band who played at our wedding last month. They were brilliant, every bit as good as I had hoped and had suspected from your seamless organisation. They really made the evening. Lots of people have singled out the band as the thing they remember most about the wedding. They even had my parents stomping away for most of the evening, they did more dancing in one evening than in the previous 35 years. And such nice boys too, they were charming and well-behaved. I think I had better stop now. Suffice to say, my wife has already passed on your details to someone for a wedding enxt year and I would gladly recommend them to anyone. Many many thanks. "Wow wow wow!!!" Beth and Ben - Wedding Your band were sensational. Everybody has been raving about how wonderful you all were. So reassuring to speak to on the phone. So professional. Thank you so much for playing and being such a superb part of our wedding day. "An excellent band" Divinia - Wedding I would like to thank the four young men involved in the band playing at my daughter's wedding on the 7th October. They were an excellent band and greatly contributed to a successful evening. Thank you once again and I hope their return journey was safe. Friends of Belmont - Charity Ball A massive thank you for providing us with such a brilliant band for the 007 Ball. The Top Hat Band were incredibily slick - they read the audience really well and made sure everyone danced all night, from the the moment that came on stage. They are all extremely talented musicians and nothing was too much trouble. I particularly want to thank you for being so flexible with our last minute demands, you were an absolute pleasure to work with. "Definitely recommending you to my friends" Emily and Andrew - Wedding What can I say? The Top Hat Band were awesome!! I can't thank you and the band enough for a wonderful evening's entertainment. The jazz in the afternoon was just right and very mellow. And the guys in the evening were brilliant and everyone was up dancing. There were many people praising the band in the morning both young and old. So many of my friends really enjoyed themselves and the dance off was hilarious. All the men were wearing their ties round their heads at the end as some form of tribute to the Top Hat Band! Andrew and I will always look back on our wedding evening and laugh and smile at the fun we had. "You work so tirelessly to give the performance you do" Julia and Ben - Wedding Wow! Where do we begin. Thank you a million times for being part of our journey into married life. Now, two weeks post the Cornish wedding at North Cadbury Court and we still haven't come back down to earth. You truly made the our wedding day end in ultimate style. We have heard nothing but praise for your talent. Most people were in complete awe of your set up! You work so tirelessly to give the performance you do, thank you! Milly and Mike were up there all night too... Whilst being 38 weeks pregnant! That says how great you are. Thanks again! See you next year at the Harding/Barber wedding! "What an amazing set" Rob and Alice - Party Thank you thank you thank you!! What an amazing set and another Serious Hat Band triumph. So many compliments for you guys from our friends, many of which have somehow escaped the hat bands charms until now! We were so grateful that you made the trip down. "A terrific set" Chris and Lucy - Wedding Thanks so much for a terrific set on Saturday night. It really contributed to a really fun night, and many people have said how much they enjoyed the dancing. And thanks for playing the Fox - that was also noted for being in character for us (make of that what you will)! "We can't thank you enough" Vicky and Rob - Wedding Thanks so much for Saturday evening - our guests were all raving about how great you all were and I don't think the dance floor was ever even close to being empty! We can't thank you enough for helping to make it such a fun day. We won't hesitate to recommend you and I'm sure the same could be said for our guests. Ems and Harry - Wedding I just wanted to say an enormous thank you to you and your incredible band who were utterly fantastic and so so thrilled we had you to play at our wedding on the 6th June. I am so sorry I was unable to meet you all properly as I think Harry and I were summoned for photos when you arrived which is such a shame. I cannot tell you how many people at the wedding have been raving about you and have asked for you contact details - hope you don't mind!? The dance floor was heaving as soon as you stepped on to the stage... which just goes to show how brilliant you were. Thank you for making the evening such a success and so truly memorable for everyone! Really hope we see you play at another wedding soon! "The hugest thank you" Georgie and Andy - Wedding Just want to say the hugest thank you for the band on our wedding day! You guys were amazing and i cant remember any time not being on the dance floor when you were playing. Thank you so much and i have recommended you to some of my friends already! :) "The singing was brilliant" Michael and Lois - Wedding Sorry it has taken over a week to send this email, we did tell the guys in the band, (apologies for not remembering their names) on Friday that we would contact you after the event. We all had a fantastic day, followed by an equally good evening of entertainment from the band and, we were very impressed with the song Beth and Kyle chose for their first dance, the singing was brilliant. At the start of the evening we did promise the band dancing, and I don't think we let them down! We are pleased our friend recommended the Top Hat Band, and would definitely recommend them to anyone organising an event. Lucy and Steve - Wedding Just wanted to drop a line to say thank you so much to you and your wonderful band for a great evening's entertainment! From the first dance right through till the end it was just perfect and I was on the dance floor as much as was polite for the bride without ignoring her guests. Haha! Everyone I have spoken to was really impressed, and the only negative comment... disappointment that we couldn't keep going for longer! "The dance floor was packed..." Nick and Emma - Wedding Emailing you from our honeymoon in beautiful Italy. Just wanted to drop you (and the band!) a note to say thank you for the performance they put on last weekend. The entire day went brilliantly, but the number of comments since then about the band specifically has been incredible. The dance floor was packed and everyone had a fantastic evening. So please pass on my thanks to the guys. Really helped make our day that little bit more perfect. "Thanks for the professional way you handle the booking" Katie and Stuart - Wedding Just a note to say a big thank you for the fantastic performance at our wedding reception on June 9th at Birch Grove. Everyone really enjoyed themselves and kept saying that you were brilliant. Also thanks for the professional way you handle the booking. It was one less thing for me to worry about. "A huge thank you" Rebecca T. - Wedding We had a fantastic time dancing, it was awesome! We loved the music you guys chose and as the floor was full the whole time it was clear the rest of the party did too. Thank you also for learning our Jewel song 'This Way' - much appreciated. We will highly recommend you! Simon S. - Wedding Alongside your performance, which was absolutely amazing, you were a delight to deal with before the wedding too – very professional with regards to emails and communication. And…Baby Give it Up – what a great start to the set after the first dance! "Thank you so much for keeping everyone on the dance floor!" Charlotte and Jurrien - Wedding Just a small note to say thank you so much for being part of our wedding and keeping everyone on the dance floor! The Dutch songs were amazing and you completely over delivered on learning those! It was the most incredible day. Will definitely be recommending you! "The dancefloor was packed" Rob - Birthday Party I just wanted to drop you a note to say a huge thank you for another amazing performance on Friday night. As ever the dance floor was packed from start to finish and a great night was had by all! Looking forward to seeing you again on the 11th June! Georgie and Grant - Wedding Fantastic performance. A lot of the experienced wedding goers have said it was the best wedding they've ever been to. "What a really friendly, professional bunch!" Jules - Wedding Thank you so very much for one of the most amazing evening/party I have been to for a while. I have never seen to many people on the dance floor all the time. The band were absolutely superb and what a really friendly, professional bunch of musicians. Their music was just wonderful all evening and we have had so many compliments about the top hat band. I hope their journey home was not too awful. Again, thank you and the band for really making our party rock. "Hope to see you again" Jon and Pip - Party Just a quick note of thanks to you and the band for a great performance on Saturday night. Many people have commented to myself and others how they thought you were fantastic and absolutely made the night! Myself and Pip had a great time and it was nice to fully enjoy the dance floor this time without having to circulate around family after getting married. "You went way beyond our expectations" Serena and Michael - Wedding Thank you so much for all that you did to make our wedding day celebrations so special. You won't believe how many of our guests have said how much they enjoyed your sets on the night and I've never seen a band work so hard. From strange requests to belting out Erasure half an hour after you should have started packing up, you went way beyond our expectations. You set up silently, despite having other musicians on the stage when you arrived and then you literally rocked till way after midnight. The dance floor was full all night and all age groups from one to 87 were spotted having a good old shimmy. Thank you so much chaps. "A great evening" Jackie and Martin - Party Just a note of thanks to you and the boys for a great evening last weekend. So many people have contacted us during the week to say how much they enjoyed the band. Born Free Foundation - Charity Ball Nothing but positive feedback. You were all brilliant and handled everything totally professionally. "Thank you for making our evening so special" Jayne and Paul - Wedding We just wanted to say thank you and your band so much for yesterday - you have showed true professionalism from beginning to end. Everyone commented last night how amazing the band was so thank you for making our evening so special (my feet are killing me today and you even managed to get Paul up to throw some shapes!) Peter and Caroline - Wedding We have so many happy memories from our wedding that you played and we continue to receive comments from guests on how much they enjoyed your music! Thanks again. "We look forward to a repeat performance on our anniversary" Ben and Toni - Wedding The feedback from the guests on your performance has been excellent. You certainly seemed to get everyone enjoying themselves, to the point where on guest split the trousers of his new suit right through the crotch as he boogied to your Blues Brothers tracks!! Many thanks once again. We look forward to a repeat performance on our anniversary! Andrew and Sarah - Wedding We just wanted to write to say thank you to the band for a fantastic performance at our wedding reception in October. We thought they performed brilliantly and really gave us our monies' worth. The selection of songs were spot-on and they got everyone up and dancing the night away. British Red Cross - Charity Ball Firstly thanks you thank you thank you for a great night's entertainment on Saturday at our charity ball!!! The night was a great success. When orgainising an event it is critical that as a charity we spend wisely. However one must never cut corners and I believe that one must speculate to accumulate. Having seen you perform once before at a friend's wedding I knew that you were perfect for the job!! I have no hesitaiton in recommending you as a first class act! A great bunch of guys with an excellent repertoire who really got the dance floor rocking. Please feel free to share my praise amongst your potential future clients! Guys, you were brill and made it a night to remember. I would definitely use you again. "I'd highly recommend them to anyone!" Charlotte and Tom - Wedding The band were truly amazing - the singer especially really got the crowd involved and made it such a special evening. I'd highly recommend them to anyone! "Exactly what we had hoped for" Jane and Lee - Wedding We have just got home from our honeymoon. Back to reality now sadly! I just wanted to say what an excellent day we had on our wedding day, we both loved everything about it. such a happy day and made extra special by you and The Serious Hat Band. You did fantastic sets, it was exactly what we had hoped for, and it was so wonderful to see the dance floor full all night. I have been to weddings where the bride struggles to drag two or three people up to dance! Loads of guests also commented how great you were. So a huge success all round! "You played your socks off!" Jean and Gary - Wedding We'd like to thank you and the band for the sterling performance on 5th July at our wedding. We had a brilliant time and you got all our guests on the dancefloor! We really loved the music and were so glad we chose you. You played your socks off! "They were fantastic" Claire T. - Wedding A big thank you to the Top Hat band. They were fantastic. To be honest, I wondered if I had taken a bit of a risk booking them on a friend's say-so but they were truly excellent and I will be passing the recommendation on. All our guests have commented on them especially the lead singer who was v. energetic and really put his all into it. The play list was spot on. "It was great!" Sarah and Christopher - Wedding Firstly may I apologise for taking so long to write to you and the band. Time has just flown by since we returned from our honeymoon in Africa. However, I wanted to write to you all to say than you so much for making our wedding reception an excellent night for us and all our guests. So many people have told us there was a real buzz at the Courtyard in Ipswich at our reception and it was your band that ensured everybody really enjoyed themselves. Gilly and I had an excellent day and thoroughly enjoyed listening and dancing to some of our favourite songs, especially the Paul Weller song, "You do something to me" which you played for our first dance. It was great. "Such professional service" Philippa and Henry - Wedding Thank you so much to you and your team for everything you guys did for our wedding. We had an amazing time; something only made possible thanks to having such professional service! Your set was incredible and efforts for the disco afterwards were just great. Emily Eavis (co-organise of Glastonbury Festival) even wrote to me after the wedding saying how awesome she thought you guys were! Which is very true. Thank you again. "A great hit with the crowd" Cowes Week - Cowes Week, Isle of Wight I would like to say a big "thank you " to you and the members of the Serious Hat Band for your fantastic performance at the Yacht Haven during Cowes Week. Not only were you a very professional and excellent band - you were all fantastic people and were a great hit with the crowd. "Our first dance will be playing in our hearts constantly" Jane and Dave - Wedding Thank you again so much for playing for us. You really did make our day so special. You and the band are just amazing. You were part of our day that will be etched in our memories forever. Our first dance will be playing in our hearts constantly. "Thank you so much for saving the day" Matin MacD. - Wedding Just wanted to drop you all a quick note to say thank you so much for saving the day and topping off a superb wedding for us on Saturday. We head off on honeymoon now and will be back in touch on return. Hope you guys enjoyed it as much as we do. "Absolutely top notch" Gemma and Andy - Wedding I wanted to write you a quick email to say how brilliant the Top Hat Band were on our wedding day. They were absolutely on time to the second, and the singing (especially our first dance) and repertoire were absolutely top notch. Please send a big thank you/pat on the back from myself and Gemma. "You were absolutely great" Serena and Mike - Wedding Just to say thank you so much - you played at our wedding in Woodhall Space on Friday. We thought you were absolutely great and everybody keeps talking about how amazing the band was, so we wanted to thank you again. Thank you also for letting Lauren borrow the guitar and sing. The was really special for us too. Hopefully we will see you at many more weddings yet. "You helped make our day perfect" Nicole and Paul - Wedding Thank you for your amazing entertainment at our wedding at Haughley Park Barn. You helped make our day perfect! I really enjoyed singing with you guys. "The music was amazing!!!" Sarah and Josh - Wedding I just wanted to drop you a quick email to say thank you for the music at Josh's and My wedding last weekend. I'm sad I couldn't stay for the whole final set, but I was really about to pile in, silly baby bump!! I hear the final set was awesome though!! I am so grateful for the first dance it was even better than I imagined, one of my favourite memories of the whole day. My one biggest fear was no one dancing but you guys quickly settled those fears and the music was amazing!!! Click to read Sarah's review on Facebook. "You absolutely nailed it" Natasha and George - Wedding We just wanted to say the most enormous thank you for doing such a brilliant job on Saturday night! You absolutely nailed it and our permanently full dancefloor was testament to how much fun everyone had. We also especially appreciated your amazingly 'can do' attitude throughout the build up and especially on the day - you totally saved my bacon on the reels (which were a huge success!) and took a last minute song request with Journey that really sealed the evening for us. Huge huge thanks - we will most certainly be recommending you far and wide! "Once again, you filled the dancefloor" Gail and Tim - 10 Year Anniversary Party We just wanted to thank you for making Saturday a great night. Ed once again, you filled the dancefloor and the kids loved it (the video of Tim and I doing the first dance with one of the kids swimming across the dance floor is priceless). "Worth every penny!" Lynn and Rich - Wedding Thank you so much for the excellent performance at our wedding in Devon at the end of September. It really made the evening I think. Everyone has been saying what a great time they had. You were worth every penny! "The band was a brilliant success" Sharon H. - Wedding The band was a brilliant success. So many people have asked for your number and we have had nothing but good comments about yourselves. So thank you once again and you will be hearing from us when we give the next party. "So many comments at how amazing you guys were!" Adele and Louis - Wedding Just a little note to say thank you!! We've had so many comments at how amazing you guys were!! I hope we didn't get toooo rowdy and annoying?! "The most almighty thank you" Jo and Ben - Wedding The most almighty thank you for the best wedding band ever!!! They were absolutely brilliant! The dance floor was packed all night, and they played some epic tunes. It was a rather small stage so they did very well to make the most of the space. Thank you do much and I will be sure to recommend you to anyone getting married!! "Nothing short of brilliant" Peter and Sarah - Wedding They were nothing short of brilliant with just the right mix of songs, which was definitely backed up by the amount of preople on the dance floor all night. We have had a lot of compliments about them, so please pass this on. "Thankyou, once again!" Association of Surgeons in Training - Re-union Ball As usual, the band put on a great enthusiastic performance. Look forward to seeing you all again in the near future. Rob and Laura - Wedding I just wanted to thank you for the awesome performance you guys put on for us! My usher Owen has already told me that he's enquired about hiring you for his wedding in October! I see how you don't need to advertise! I hope you had a great Christmas and New Year and I look forward to seeing you from the dance floor again at Philippa's wedding in July! "Everyone loved you - the old and the young." Andrew F. - Wedding You guys were SICK! THANK YOU SO MUCH - you were WAY beyond expectations - please can we do it all again! Everyone loved you - the old and the young. We will without hesitation recommend you to anyone looking for a band. "A superb band" William C. - President's Ball Just a note to thank you and your band for a fantastic performance two Saturdays ago. The evening, although small in numbers was thoroughly enjoyed by all and made by your leadership of a superb band. Many thanks again. "Fantastic music, which kept the dance floor full all night" Mike and Charlie - Wedding Many thanks for bringing the party to our fantastic wedding at Boconnoc. We had the perfect day, topped off by the fantastic music, which kept the dance floor full all night. I hope you're busy and things are going well in the band. "The band were brilliant" Vicki and Paul - Wedding The dance floor was packed at all times and everyone commented on how great the band and the music was! Thank you for letting our friend Lindsey sing. It was really special for us to hear her. "I would definitely recommend the band" Paul and Kelly - Wedding I know it's almost a month since the band played (18th April, Addington Palace) however I would like to say a belated thank you to you and the band. They were really good, engaged the audience a lot and didn't eat too much from the buffet, at least not when i was looking! We had a number of compliments from guests of various ages and taste. One of my uncles thought they could be the new U2 although I think he might have had a bit too much to drink! I would definitely recommend the band to others. "You were brilliant" Pat and Terry - Wedding You got the mix just right and you didn't once lose your captive audience, quite unusual I would say. To say we are grateful would be an understatment; get the music wrong at a function and it will never work and from the time of your opening bars, we knew everyting was going to be great and it was. "A great way to end a great day!" Phil and Sue - Wedding A big thank you to you and the band for the great music you played at our wedding on June 5th. We thoroughly enjoyed the dancing as we know our friends and relatives did! Many people have commented on how good you were. It was certainly a great way to end a great day! "Packed dance floor" Nigel G. - Charity Ball I am writing on behalf of the organising committee for the 1-2-3 Ball to say a heartfelt thank-you for your performance. We had numerous comments about the band and they were, without exception, flattering! The packed dance floor through both of your sets spoke for itself - the music was a massive part of the overall success of the evening. "So many comments at how amazing you guys were!" Adele and Louis - Wedding Just a little note to say thank you!! We’ve had so many comments at how amazing you guys were!! I hope we didn’t get toooo rowdy and annoying?! "There's no wedding like a Hat Band Wedding - the dance floor of old and young is packed" Mike and Milly - Wedding Let us start by apologies for such a well deserved thank you being so late... we had great intentions but we really wanted to wait to get the photos back from Ian as he took some corkers... You totally nailed our first dance- it was amazing- you guys really did pull out all the stops. I think between Mike and I we spent the majority of the evening on the dance floor- but looking through all of our photos, our guests seemed to do the same. Mum and Dad have always commented that they never go to weddings like a Hat Band Wedding- the dance floor, of old and young, is packed. You managed to sneak in all the Hues favourites (a new one for Dave- he grins every time he replays Blur's Country House) and the whole night the mix was perfect. Mike and I both love dancing, and as my legs and feet reminded me the morning after- I didn't miss many songs! Hopefully we will have done a Rob and Alice and you might get some more business from us yet and we can have another good old dance and sing along... But I am sure that there are already talks of whether we can justify a Hues Christening Hat Band (Rob and Alice have safely had baby Evelyn)..... if not we'll have to wait for our 30th's! Take Care and honestly, thank you all so much Milly & Mike Xx "Everyone was impressed with your band" Phil and Nenita - Wedding Just to say thanks for a great evening, of course everyone was impressed with your band, we were in a bit of a daze but I do remember in particular a great rendering of Summer of ' 69. Thanks also for being so flexible with the slipping time scale and for allowing Jenny to do her bit. Wish I could find an excuse to book you again! Ed B. - Birthday Party The Serious Hat Band were excellent. Not only in their musical ability but also in their ability to interpret our rather vague instructions of what we wanted! The choice of music and volume just right. Thank you for your faultless organisation. "It was perfect" Anna M. - Wedding Just a quick note to thank you and the band for a great evening yesterday at our wedding - I'm so sorry I didn't get a chance to have a chat but it was perfect, you had people dancing all night and lots of guests told us how much they enjoyed the band. "They were truly epic" Tim and Sarah - Wedding Just wanted to write a quick note to say a HUGE thank you to your band - they were truly epic and absolutely nailed it. I really hope they enjoyed it as much as we all did - we have a great video of our first dance and they played the song unbelievably well. We will send it over to you next week when back. I will certainly be recommending you to anyone else that needs a band for an event as you have been very professional and extremely good with communication and the band is excellent! "A fabulous evening" Big Band Events Managements - Corporate Party After initial concerns about having a band we'd not previously worked with being hired for an important client's annual event, we are delighted to now express our thanks to you and your band for a fabulous evening. You impressed us all with the talent and diversity of your line-up. You've been a pleasure to deal with throughout and we look forward to the opportunity to introduce you to more of our events. "As ever the dance floor was packed..." Ed and Poppy - Wedding Hope you are well, we have just got back from a few weeks away so apologies for not being in touch sooner. I just wanted to thank you very much for your efforts in the lead up to our wedding and also for being absolutely brilliant on the night. We had such a good time and felt there was a real party atmosphere which The Serious Hat Band have to take a lot of the credit for. As ever the dance floor was packed and a lot of friends have said how good the band was. Also to throw in a bit if Whitney was an absolute winner! "A fantastic performance" Jo and Paul - Wedding Had to write to you and all in the Top Hat Band to say thank you for adding so much to our wedding last Saturday. Everything on the day went so well (even the sun shone before the gales that night!) and it was topped off by a fantastic performance by the very talented boys in the band! Everyone has been asking about where we found you and we will be more than happy to recommend the Top Hat Band and Dewson Entertainments to anyone! "You created a great atmosphere" Kim and Olly - Wedding Thank you so much for your great performance at our wedding in September. Everyone comment on how good the band were and you created a great atmosphere particularly taking into account the venue limitations. Dealing with you during all the organisation in the run up to the wedding was a pleasure. We look forward to having you play at other family events in the future. "An exceptional night" Darren and Heidi - Birthday party Hard to believe it's been a week since the party, and sorry it's taken me so long to find the time to mail you! Just wanted to thank you, and the band for what was an exceptional night, that we will always remember! Look forward to seeing you for my 50th in 8 years, if you haven't hung up the mike by then! "Will definitely recommend you to everyone now!" Sarah L. - Wedding Chris and I just wanted to say a massive thank you for such a great band last night. Please thank everyone for us (sorry we didn't have a chance to last night). It really was fantastic. Everyone has been telling us how great the band was. Even the limbo seemed to work and we loved it! Sorry about the delay at the beginning and thank you so much for playing straight through. Will definitely recommend you to everyone now! Wallace D. - Birthday Party Thank you so much for the brilliant performance at our party. The band helped turn a very special evening into a truly memorable occasion. Everyone has said how great the band was. Please pass on my thanks to all the band. Thanks also for allowing me to play with you and for making me sound good! It was an experience that will live in the memory for years to come - roll on my 60th! Amanda and Stuart - Wedding Thank you for such a great job with the music for our wedding. Your versions of our specially requested songs were superb. "Superb evening's entertainment" Ernst & Young - Corporate Party Further to our Oscars Party at the Riverbank Park Plaza Hotel in London on Friday we would like to extend our thanks for the superb evening's entertainment. Everyone has commented how much they enjoyed the evening. Once again many thanks for your contribution and for making our party a success. "EVERYONE said how awesome the band was" Lizzy and Andy - Wedding Ed, what can I say. You guys were incredible. And EVERYONE said how awesome the band was. Hopefully you could see everyone enjoying themselves from start to finish. Huge apologies for the delayed first dance but "Feel so close" sounded amazing. Thank you for learning it. We want to have another party so we can get you guys to perform again! Thanks so much again. "You totally nailed it!" Charlotte H. - Wedding Just a quick note to say the hugest thank you from Andrew and myself for playing at our wedding! You totally nailed it! Such fabulous music. Never seen such a busy dance floor. Everyone has said how awesome you were. Thanks for coming so far down south! We hope you enjoyed too. "You got it absolutely spot on!" Guy and Sophie - Wedding Thank you so much for entertaining us on Saturday night. You got it absolutely spot on! Everyone I spoke to said what an amazing band. Sophie and I were also delighted to hear that the party carried on once we had gone! We will always remember when you fired up with George Ezra and then went straight into Dancing in the Dark. Exactly what we wanted. Your whole team were so professional, the stage looked brilliant and the sound quality was exceptional. "All anyone could talk about the next day was you guys" Francesca and Simon - Wedding Thank you so much for playing at our wedding last weekend. You guys were amazing and we had such an incredible time! All anyone could talk about the next day was you guys and how good you were. The range of songs you played was fantastic and made sure the dance floor was constantly full. I was just having such a good time and didn't want it to end! We would absolutely recommend you to anyone in the future. "You really kept the dance floor pumping" Suzie and Doug - Wedding Dear Ed and all of The Top Hat Band, I wanted to write and say a huge Thank You for your spectacular performance at our wedding. You really did a tremendous job and kept the dance floor appropriately pumping throughout the night. I felt terrible the day that in all the excitement of the wedding I didn't even get a chance to say hello and thank you!!! I hope that you were well taken care of an our guests were a fun audience. I really cannot thank you enough for the part you played in making it such a special day for us. Thank you again, Suzie and Doug. "Truly great musicians" Rachel and Mark - Wedding Mark and I wanted to drop you a note to say a very big 'thank you' for the wonderful music and entertainment the band provided at our reception on 27 July. They were truly great musicians and as one of my friends said, David Gray could have been there singing for us! Not only did all our guests enjoy the music, but we had a great boogie and our first song was very special. We have had lots of comments about the great mix of music and ability to get everyone up dancing, although they didn't need much encouragement! "Thanks to you and all in the band for making our day" Tessa and Alex - Wedding A very belated thank you for doing such a great job on 24th September at our wedding. The band were amazing and we got lots of comments and compliments from guests. Thanks to you and all in the band for making our day. "We couldn't have asked for a better night" Jo & Jack - Wedding Jack and I wanted to thank you so very much for all your help with our wedding at Bridwell Park in June. We are however extremely sorry for just how long it has taken to put pen to paper and get this letter out to you. You have been firmly in our thoughts and we wanted you and all the guys to know how grateful we are for all your efforts in making our wedding weekend come alive over the course of the two nights! It was brilliant working with you throughout the build up. You were extremely accommodating, working with Ben so that we could make full use of the awesome sound equipment, helping us to build a set up that would not only work across two night but that would fit within our budget and your fantastic ideas for the line up adjustments each evening worked better than we could have ever imagined. The result was the perfect band that worked amazingly well for two very different nights. It was just perfect. Rob was brilliant as the front man on our wedding night as was the whole band, plus thank you for stepping in at the last minute and providing a cracking DJ set. You were all such great fun throughout the night and really got everyone going. Both set lists worked so well for our guests. Both kept the dance-floor absolutely buzzing all night from the moment we finished the first dance right the way through to the multiple chants of "Just one more!". We couldn't have asked for a better night and still to this day have friends and family buzzing about you guys. Thank you also so very much for all your help and support with our unusual first dance request! Our last minute dance moves at least gave everyone a good laugh and you guys were not only such great sports but hugely talented I must say in being able to adapt the intro to work with us and to give us a helping hand throughout the dance. After rather a few drinks beforehand it really was extremely good fun and, especially with just how great the band sounded straight from the off, made sure the dance floor kicked off with a band! Thank you so much for making it possible. Following on from the day of the wedding the Saturday night was just much fun. You guys were brilliant, getting the guests up on their feet and involved and so kindly having two of them to join you for a few numbers! I have to say that our most wonderful moment was when you guys did the piece with Jimi! We were absolutely over the moon and highly impressed that you all managed to pull it off so wonderfully well. It brought back some very fond memories of partying the night away in Scotland and we were just thrilled not only to re-live that in such epic fashion but to see just how well you and Jimi got eveyrone rocking! The whole night was everything I could have dreamt of and so much more! You all really got the party going and while of course we were sad to see you leave, we can safely say that the energy you created continued and we partied all night long and well into the morning! Probably a good thing that you managed to escape when you did! Kim S. - Wedding Just a quick thank you to the guys in Top Hat for playing at our wedding. They were great and I know that lots of people tried to get their names at the end for future bookings. It was really lovely the way they involved our guests and i know everyone had a great day and evening. "You were a pleasure to deal with and we will not hesitate to recommend you" Tom and Emily - Wedding Thanks to you and the band for a superb performance on the night and for the professional approach that you took to the whole process. You were a pleasure to deal with and we will not hesitate to recommend you to friends, family and colleagues in future. "It simply couldn't have gone better" Simon and Katie - Wedding Everyone, without exception, said what a brilliant job the band did, I hope they enjoyed it as much as we did. Packed dance floor and a brilliant range of music including my requested Saw Doctors track! It simply couldn't have gone better for us. "We will of course recommend you" Peter and Katie - Wedding Just a note to thank you and the band for playing at our wedding in Devon. You did a brilliant job and many people commented on your performance. Please pass my thanks to the rest of your team. We will of course recommend you to anyone else getting married. "The band were brilliant" Timothy I. - James Bond Party The band were brilliant on Saturday - please pass on our thanks for three great sets and a thoroughly professional performance. Plenty of sore feet from all the dancing on the bar! We wouldn't hesitate to use / recommend again in the future. Thanks for all your help. "Once again you filled the dancefloor" Gail and Tim - 10th Wedding Anniversary We just wanted thanks you for making Saturday a great night. Ed, once again you filled the dancefloor and the kids loved it (the video of Tim and I doing the first dance with one of the kids swimming across the dance floor is priceless). Can't wait to see the official pics. The Afghan Ball - Charity Ball We were extremely impressed with your team and the way it was set-up so quietly and efficiently. You remained very flexible with our timings and the type of music we wanted you to play. "A spectacular performance" Karen and Mark - Wedding The evening's entertainment was one of the best that we have ever seen and heard. All our guests had a great time and were as equally impressed. Throughout the whole day the band acted professionally and performed all the requested songs with considerable expertise. "We've received loads of compliments about you" Justin L-T. - Wedding Just a short note to say a (massively belated) thanks for playing at our wedding back in July. The dance floor was packed all evening and it was definitely one of the sweatiest dance floors I've ever experienced, which means you were definitely doing something right! We've received loads of compliments about you guys as well from all the guests who thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks too for helping out those singers in disguise - I understand they had to use your sound equipment so thanks for saving the day. Apparently you're being booked in for Thady and Zoe's wedding next year, which I'll be best man at, so I long forward to enjoying another great evening then! "A phenomenal wedding party" Leandros and Julia - Wedding We wanted to thank you and the guys from the Top Hat Band for a phenomenal wedding party. As we knew they would be, the band was superb - excellent playing and singing and a perfectly judged set-list which always responded to the dance floor. After the event we had several texts, emails and letters mentioning how good the band were in addition to a barrage of enthusiastic compliments on the night itself). In particular several of our musician friends remarked on the excellent musicianship of the players and how they got the perfect balance of performing with charisma and presence but never once being selfish. We had an amazing time and would recommend the band to anyone without reservation. A special thanks to the guys for their willingness to learn Zorba's dance. They nailed it and it went down a storm with English and Greek guests alike not to mention it inspired dance moves from my uncles from Cyprus the likes of which I've never witnessed in my life!). Finally, it was a pleasure dealing with you in the run-up to the big day. Thanks for your time, approachability and good humour on the phone and email and your utter professionalism from the first time we got in contact. We had the most amazing wedding day that was everything we hoped for and a lot more - a real credit to the energy, creativity, enthusiasm and intelligence of the professionals such as yourself that we had on board. "Keep up the good work" Emma and Simon - Wedding You were absolutely brilliant! We were so pleased that the dancefloor was full all evening. Everyone has mentioned how much they enjoyed the band in their letters. We had such an incredible day and we thank you for playing your part so brilliantly. "We had a fantastic time" Jane and Jonny - Wedding Thank you all so much for helping make our wedding reception so memorable. We had a fantastic time. The whole days was perfect from start to finish and the quality of the band topped it off. "Hatband...rockin' all over the world!" Nick and Charlotte - Wedding Charlotte and I are so extremely grateful to you and the band for being on absolutely mind blowing form at our wedding. We knew we wanted the dance floor to be good but you made it an absolute belter, which we will never forget! Everyone was exhausted the next day and loved every minute of your set. Thank you for helping us through American Pie, it turns out I'm not word perfect! We really look forward to seeing you at Thady and Zoe's on Saturday. "All our guests loved your band" Claire and Will - Wedding Just wanted to drop you a quick line to say how much we and all our guests loved your band at our wedding. Thank you so much! The dance floor was packed pretty much the whole night, the sound was great and the set list was very well chosen! I have to say I never imagined we'd be dancing in a circle to 'bat out of hell'- that was definitely one of the most memorable (and bizarre) parts of the whole day! Mark and Becky - Wedding They got everybody dancing and contributed a great deal to making the whole evening a success. I would have no hesitation in recommending them and certainly, given the comments received from our friends, neither would the rest of our guests. "You bowled everyone over!" Shaun and Claire - Wedding Well the dust has settled after the wedding, Kate and Rick have been dispatched to Mexico on Honeymoon, and we have a complex spreadsheet with a rota for looking after the kids while they are away. My voice finally gave up and I had to take time off work on Monday and Tues (can't have a pilot who can't speak!) I've had nothing but praise and compliments from everybody both on the night, the next morning and since then as well, about how fantastic the band and the music were - you bowled everyone over! I'm so glad you were able to make it happen for us - many many thanks from us all. Also thanks so much for the amazing arrangement of Old Wild Men. The song means so much to our family - when you played it for us in Greenwich years ago it became a memorial to my Dad ever since then (if you remember he did some work with 10cc on the Gizmo attachment for the guitar). There wasn't a dry eye in the house on Saturday as we dedicated it to everyone's departed loved ones. I'm just gutted that I croaked my way through it! I guess we'll just have to do it again somehow... (I have some thoughts - more in due course...) Thanks again for making Kate and Rick's wedding day so special. Shaun and Claire "They were everything we had been hoping for and more" Becky and Paul - Wedding Just a few lines to say how fantastic we thought the band were. They played a brilliant mix of music and had everyone up on their feet for the whole night. They were everything we had been hoping for and more and really made our day finish on a high; we have received so many compliments on our "great choice of band" since the big day. Please could you pass on our thanks to the band for helping to make our day such a wonderful event. We would also like to thank you too for being such a great help in organising the band for our day. "Wish we could do it all over again!" Ginny and Andy - Wedding Please can you pass on our sincere thanks to the top hat band who played so brilliantly at our wedding on Saturday. They were superb and all our guests had a fantastic time, thanks to them. I just wish we could do it all over again! "They didn't want you to leave" Ann C. - BT Global Challenge Party I am writing to thank you and your band for providing the entertainment at our rents Bye Bye Party in the Guildhall. The feedback we had from those who attended was fantastic and I know everyone enjoyed themselves as was proved at the and when they didn't want you to leave. The mix of music was just right and it certainly got everyone dancing. Jo and Alan - Wedding Thank you so much for performing a fantastic set at our wedding. We both had the most amazing day and feedback from all our guests imply that they also had a great time. Your band certainly know how to get everyone up and dancing. Thank you also for letting Jonny Wilkes sing with you for our first dance and also for doing a number with Robbie. That certainly has got everyone talking! "A magical day" Amanda and Max - Wedding Thank-you so much for such a brilliant evening you did on Saturday for Annabel and Phil's wedding. Even people who hadn't danced for years, including my 83 year old father, got up and danced the night away! The wonderful music just kept on coming and was fantastic. We loved having The Serious Hat Band here and will definitely pass your details on to others. I hope that the soggy ground didn't deter you too much but the tracking was a life saver. Please pass on our thanks to the other three guys of the band for their brilliant playing. We had such a magical day and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The band were a big part of that and were definitely the icing on the cake! Many, many thanks. Rachel and Mark - Wedding I would just like to say a big thank you to the Top Hat Band for playing so brilliantly at our wedding reception. The music was just great, everyone was dancing their socks off and so many of our guests have complimented the band. It was a real treat to have such good live music. We were really grateful to them for creating such a brilliant party atmosphere. "So many positive comments" David and Sophie - Birthday Party Many thanks for a great session on Friday as we had so many positive comments from friends which will no doubt provide possible new opportunities from the Wandsworth crowd in the future. "They really are remarkable" Sam and Chris - Wedding Not sure where to post a review but we couldn't not raise one after the amazing job you did! The Top Hat Band have now played at three family weddings and I expect they'll play at several more of our friends and family given how great they were/are! They kicked off proceedings with a great rendition of "Ain't no mountain high" before playing a number of our old favourites. The dance floor was packed all night. We'd given a fairly comprehensive list of all the songs we loved from their set list, and they managed to squeeze pretty much all of them in. They do three sets (more than any other band we looked at) which makes it feel like they're on all night! They really are remarkable and we look forward to seeing them at a number of our friends weddings in the future!! "An excellent performance" Fakenham Rugby Club - May Ball May I take this opportunity, on behalf of Fakenham Rugby Club and myself, to thank you and the band for an excellent and most enjoyable performance at our Grand May Ball on Saturday. We look forward to requesting the Serious Hat Band for our Club at future events. "We cannot praise them enough" Emma and Philip - Wedding The band were the talk of the evening; professional but fun and interacted really well with everyone even allowing some people up to sing with them!). The dance floor was always full. There were songs for every taste. We must also thank you for the ease of the booking process. Even with a last minute change of venue, you were not fazed! If only everything wedding related could be so easy! "You made the evening" Kate M - Wedding I just wanted to say a huge thank you for playing and singing at Thomas and Shawn's wedding on 13th June. As at Jessa's you made the evening and got everyone dancing immediately. I just hope you got your supper with time! Two more children to go, but hopefully not next year at least - I need a break!! Thanks again to all of you. "The guys were fantastic" Matthew - Birthday Party The guys were fantastic and they did a great job. Lots of people have been asking for their details. "We are so grateful" Sara - Wedding We had what can only be described as an absolutely epic weekend and are so grateful to you. We loved the way you joined in with the party and you absolutely nailed the evenings and the fab atmosphere. All the months of planning and unbelievably hard work well worth it in the end. Hope our paths cross again in the future. Thank you all so much. "What a night you created" Sarah - Charity Ball What a night you created. What a fabulous atmosphere, non stop party music with a full dance floor at all times. Cannot thank you enough. I loved having you there and as always you gave it your all. Many many thanks for making my night such a truly memorable one. "Many thanks again" Mr M A T Bowden - Wedding A huge thanks to you and the band for providing great enterainment throughout the evening. We had such a great time. Also, many of our guests have commented on what a great performance it was and how they really enjoyed the dancing and excellent play-list. "Fantastic music which kept the dance floor full all night" Mike and Charlie - Wedding Many thanks for bringing the party to our fantastic wedding at Boconnoc. We had the perfect day, topped off by the fantastic music, which kept the dance floor full all night. I hope you're busy and things are going well in the band. "It really was amazing" Jones Knowles Ritchie - Corporate Event I just wanted to thank you and the band for Friday night. Everyone had such a great time - I've never seen so many dancing! We'd love to host your band again at another of our events, so no doubt I will be in touch in the future, but thank you, it really was amazing! "Another GREAT performance" Lucy and Andy - Wedding A very belated 'thank you' to the band for another GREAT performance at Lucy and Andy's wedding at Dewsall Court! They did a wonderful job and we have had lots of complements about them. They certainly got everyone up and dancing! Brilliant musicians and such a great playlist too - you cannot beat a live band! One of our guests Kay was so impressed that she has now booked you for her party in July - a great complement! "You really got everyone up and dancing" Kate M. - Wedding Just to reiterate my thanks for your splendid performance on Saturday night at Jessa and Justin's wedding. You really got everyone up and dancing and kept them there - it was great. Once again, many thanks - I shall definitely keep your name in case one of my other children decides to go down the same route! "Your band played outstandingly" Dream Occasions - Wedding I just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful service leading up to my clients' wedding on 4th May. I understand Matt was in touch with you frequently but this is because music was so important to them. As such, they were thrilled when your band played outstandingly getting everyone up and dancing. The first thing they said to me on the 5th was, "Thank you for finding Ed". "Everybody loved the music" Melanie and Derek - Wedding We'd just like to thank you for the music at our wedding. The evening was excellent and everybody loved the music. "You guys really know how to get the party STARTED!!" Jo and Jack - Wedding Thank you so much guys!! Best weekend EVER! You guys made it so special and we all had such an amazing time partying along with you! You guys really know how to get the party STARTED!! Whoop whoop!! "You were awesome!" Helen and David - Wedding You were awesome! Thanks to you all for the most amazing and professional music. Our guests were blown away by your skill and great repertoire. Even my mum liked the music - the floor was full all evening. "Thank you also for making the entire process so easy" Susan B_C - Wedding An enormous thank you to you and your band for the most incredible performance - you managed to keep the dancefloor heaving the entire night which was just perfect, so much so that neither Harry nor I even strayed as far as the cheese board! We've therefore stowed away some smelly stilton for the honemoon which I'm sure will make us popular with the other passengers.. Thank you also for making the entire process so easy - dealing with our constant change of first dance, arriving so promptly and generally ensuring the music was one thing we knew we had covered. I will recommend you to anyone that asks! Thanks again, and see you at another wedding soon no doubt. "You couldn't have been more helpful" Charlotte and Michael - Wedding You guys were amazing!! We've had so many compliments about you and you couldn't have been more helpful and patient with us! Thank you for everything! "We had the best damn night ever!" Owen & Sama - Wedding Thank you so much for making our wedding so much fun. You and your band were fantastic! We had the best damn night ever! Charlotte and Paul - Wedding It was such an amazing night. Dealing with yourselves has been such a pleasure and we have been very impressed with all your communication for what can be a very stressful time, you made one aspect very easy. "Dance floor packed all night" Clare and Alex - Wedding I just wanted to send you a note to thank you for organising the Serious Hat Band for our wedding and please pass on our thanks to the band. They were absolutely fantastic - keeping the dance floor packed all night and we have had so many comments since the wedding saying how great they were. They played such a great part in making the day the best day of our lives! "You were spot on" Creative Sponge Ltd - Corporate You were spot on. Everyone had a great night! Hope to see you again soon. "A big success" Tammy and Richard - Wedding Thank you thank you thank you. You guys were FANTASTIC. I'm sure the Baraset Barn hasn't rocked like that ever before (or for a long time to come!) My only disappointment was that I didn't get to dance more! (The price of being the bride... had to be sociable).

It helped make it an unforgetable day for us. "You were amazing" Sue and Marcus - Wedding A very tardy thank you for Saturday night. You were amazing - as ever! Completely made the evening for me and we had such a good dance. Rhea (venue manager) also said what a good band you were to work with. I think the phrase "not precious at all" was used, as many bands apparently are! We had such a wonderful wedding - perfect in every way. Thanks so much for making it so good.

Tips for Publishing Op-Eds and Letters Pro-nuclear op-eds and letters-to-the-editor reach a large audience. While many newspapers do indeed struggle with decreasing circulations, newspapers such as the Mercury News of San Jose California have daily circulation figures around 500,000, according to the latest data I can find. Getting a pro-nuclear op-ed in such a high-circulation paper widens the positive view of nuclear energy. Hundreds of thousands of people will see the op-ed, and many will read it. A good op-ed breaks the assumption that “everyone” is against nuclear power. Stephen Williams wrote an op-ed which ran in the Mercury News on July 10: 100 percent renewable energy in California by 2050 needs nuclear in the mix. His op-ed is a clear, concise argument for nuclear power, and against the false reassurances that “renewables can do it all.” I urge you to read his article and comment on it! Meanwhile, here is Stephen’s description of writing op-eds, and getting them published. Publishing Op-Eds. By Stephen Williams Op-Eds are a part of advocacy: After retiring from software engineering a few years ago, I was delighted with my newfound time to explore other interests. One interest I had was to somehow get involved in addressing climate change. Little did I know then that I’d end up advocating for nuclear power as an important part of our strategy to ameliorate climate change. One thing I’ve discovered in the past year is that writing opinion pieces for newspapers is one effective way that I can advocate for nuclear power. At first I wasn’t sure my local paper would have any interest in what I had to say. Getting them published: Now I’ve had two opinion pieces published in The Mercury News in one year. I’m not sure exactly what I’ve done right, but I’d like to share how I approached getting published in case my experience is useful to others. Start with a news event: I try to use some recent news event to write about nuclear power. I email my piece to the editorial page editor respectfully requesting publication. My experience so far is that I don’t get an initial response. Follow up: So a couple days later I respond to my own email and point the editor at some recent article that’s related to my piece. Sometimes I even do this a second time if I don’t hear back from the editor. The editor replies at this point and tells me what’s wrong with the piece. Edit it and say thank you. I rewrite the piece making sure to address all the editor’s criticisms, then reply thanking the editor for her excellent feedback (which it really is) and attaching the new version. This mostly works: This technique has failed for me once and worked out twice over the past year. I think the take-away for me is to be nicely persistent, at least until you get a response. Notes from Meredith Angwin My experience is that the first op-ed is the hardest. Once you are established as an op-ed writer with a particular editor, getting the second op-ed published is much easier. I have more information on getting letters and op-eds published in several chapters of my book, Campaigning for Clean Air. Of course, I encourage you to buy it!

(October 31, 2017) - The Senate passed a $36.5 billion Disaster Relief bill last week, which had previously passed out of the House, to fund recovery efforts for Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria, as well as the western wildfires. The bill represents the second phase of relief spending to address these disasters, and includes $18.7 billion for FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund, $16 billion in debt relief for the National Flood Insurance Program and $577 million for wildfires. Congress anticipates working on a third legislative package to address outstanding disaster needs before the end of the year. Congress also passed a Fiscal Year 2018 (FY18) Budget Resolution last week, reportedly setting the stage for tax reform. While FY18 is already underway, passage of an identical budget in both the House and Senate was a key procedural step that Senate Republicans needed in order to fast-track tax reform with a simple majority, rather than 60 votes, which would necessitate support from Democratic Senators. While the House passed a FY18 Budget Resolution this summer that would have required a deficit-neutral tax plan, the Resolution that the Senate passed – and which the House agreed to this week – allows tax reform to add $1.5 trillion to the federal deficit. Tax reform has now become priority number one for the Administration and Congressional Republicans. On Wednesday, November 1, House Republicans are expected to release their much-anticipated tax package and start racing to pass tax reform by the end of the year. NACWA remains primarily concerned about preserving the current tax exemption for municipal bonds – a critical financing tool for water and wastewater – which despite a major outpouring of support, remains vulnerable to changes as Congress seeks “pay-fors” to balance other tax cuts. After the House plan is released, NACWA plans to keep members informed by providing additional details in next week’s issue of the Current.

From: Brevard Workforce Development Board Posted: Tuesday, February 5, 2008 Rockledge, Florida -- Seventy-five Florida aerospace engineers, technicians and scientists will gain first-hand knowledge of spaceflight working conditions under a new state-sponsored initiative aimed at preparing the workforce for the next-generation of commercial and government space programs. The Microgravity Training Program will include a mix of classroom, web-based, and in-flight training to introduce workers to the challenges of developing and operating systems in the weightless environment of space. "As the Space Shuttle moves toward retirement, Florida must diversify its space industry to include greater involvement in manufacturing, research, and spaceflight operations," said Workforce Florida President Chris Hart. "We will need a specially trained workforce to support emerging exploration and commercial spaceflight opportunities." Workforce Florida has approved a $500,000 grant to the Brevard Workforce Development Board, Inc. (BWDB) to provide the training opportunities to qualified workers from around the state. Brevard Community College (BCC), SpaceTEC, a Florida-based national aerospace technical training center and Zero Gravity Corp (Zero-G) will develop and administer the training during the first half of 2008. "With a few exceptions, Florida's role in space has largely been limited to launching rockets," said SpaceTEC Executive Director Frank Margiotta. "We want to develop a cadre of workers who have unique qualifications to support other space R&D and technology development programs that Florida can capture in the future." Participation will be limited to incumbent workers who complete a competitive application process. The organizers plan to match applicant skills and aspirations with industry-developed training requirements. "There's no shortage of opportunities for Florida's space industry, and there are several programs that could derive a near-term benefit from this initiative," said BWDB President Lisa Rice. "Companies like Zero-G, SpaceX and others are supplementing their commercial operations with NASA contracts that could bring new business to the state." Workforce Florida, Inc. (WFI) is the state's chief workforce policy organization and principal architect in the efforts to meet the current and future workforce needs and challenges of Florida's businesses and citizens. WFI is a state partner, along with the Agency for Workforce Innovation, in the Employ Florida affiliate network of 24 business-led regional workforce boards and nearly 100 one-stop centers that provide employment solutions throughout Florida. Brevard Workforce Development Board Inc.'s administers workforce development programs throughout Brevard County. A funding, policy and oversight agency, BWDB focuses on improving the quality of Brevard County's workforce; reducing welfare dependency and enhancing workforce productivity and competitiveness. Funding for programs to achieve these goals is obtained through the Federal Workforce Investment Act (WIA), the Florida Workforce Innovation Act, the Welfare Transition Program and through winning a variety of grants offered through both the public and private sectors. For more information about Brevard Workforce Development Board, Inc., contact Joan Van Scyoc, communications director at (321) 394-0512 or visit us on the web at www.bwdb.org and www.brevardjoblink.org .

The end of the road on Kauai's north shore is the beginning of Napali (The Cliffs), which can only be accessed on land via the Kalalau Trail—an 11-mile squiggley scramble that ends in the Kalalau Valley. Don't even think about trying to dayhike the 22-mile roundtrip, since rough conditions make it seem more like 40 miles. On a busy day, nearly 500 souls set foot on the Kalalau, quite a circus, and second only in popularity to the Diamond Head Crater trail on Oahu. (A permit is required to walk beyond the first two miles of the trail.) Make sure to pick a dry day, since rain makes this route the bad kind of adventure. It's also a good idea to show up early, if you want a nature trip rather than a social scene. Stuff your daypack with plenty of food and water. Wear sturdy shoes, and plan on getting them wet and muddy. A hiking pole will be a godsend. Hanakapiai Beach is two miles in, though this is a rocky, dangerous swimming beach, and requires a stream crossing to reach. Flash floods can make for a lethal crossing, so much so that a million-dollar footbridge is being planned. Ribbony Hanakapiai Falls (above) is another two miles inland from the beach (so, 8 miles round-trip from the trailhead; no permit needed) and requires several more stream crossings. The hike to the falls will feel like 12 miles, so be ready. You can achieve a great view of the Napali Coast by walking in about a half mile on the trail. The easiest way to see the coast is to walk about a hundred yards to the right at Ke'e Beach, which is also at the end of the road. Only a few, if that, visitors among the daily 500 people take one of the best hikes here, which is to follow a coastal trail around the point and then up to the ancient hula temple, the birthplace of the tradition in Hawaii. The hula temple is sacred ground in Hawaii, so treat it like a church. Another nearby attraction that is a totally five stars is Limahuli Garden (less than a mile before the end of the road). This place is Eden on earth. Complete directions for all these hikes are in the Kauai Trailblazer guidebook, now in its 20th year of publication.

This paleo cereal recipe will totally transform your mornings. It’s super quick, easy, and versatile, as well as perfectly crunchy and naturally a bit sweet. Ready in about 3 minutes and made from whatever nuts, seeds, and dried fruit that you have on hand. Vegan, raw, and gluten and grain free, too. Y’ALL GET READY ARE YOU READY TELL ME WHEN YOU’RE READY Phew. I can hardly contain my excitement because this is paleo cereal and that means you can skip the eggs this morning, I KNOW. I went through this long process when we transitioned into a paleo sort of way of living because uh, I kind of hate eggs. I mean, I actually like eggs, but I can’t get down with that texture every single day. I actually Googled “eggs give me anxiety” the other day, because whenever I eat scrambled eggs, I end up with this nervous stomach for no reason I can identify. I’d rather have a bowl of Basic 4, because I’m basic and I’m pretty sure the rest of the name is “4 u,” and I’m Basic 4 U, baby. I won’t be ashamed of my love for that old-man cereal, no! Until one day I just realized I could grind up some paleo trail mix and, tada! Cold paleo cereal. Or hot, if you decide to go that route. You do you, my friend! Why This Paleo Cereal Is So Good - It’s insanely versatile. You can use pretty much any nuts or dried fruit you have on hand. - You can eat it hot or cold! - It comes together in a matter of about 3 minutes. - It’s delicious with a handful of fresh fruit sprinkled on top. - You can keep a container of this paleo cereal in the pantry at all times, and a nourishing breakfast will be ready in seconds. It’s that simple, y’all. How to Make Paleo Cereal I really love to blitz my paleo cereal mix of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit in the food processor to give it a really lovely texture that’s crunchy but not overwhelming. It also integrates the natural sweetness from the dried fruit better, so I highly recommend you go about it this way, rather than simply shaking things up in a jar. You can, however, totally do that! But I recommend the following method. Place any whole nuts in the bowl of your food processor and pulse until broken up into even pieces. Add in dried fruit and pulse until chopped evenly. Add remaining ingredients (coconut and seeds) and pulse until well mixed. Transfer to an airtight container and keep in the pantry for about 4 weeks. How to Eat Paleo Cereal Three options really: - Cold with alt-milk like almond, coconut, or macadamia milk, with a touch of maple syrup or honey if not vegan, topped with fresh fruit like raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries, if you like. - Warm with alt-milk, fresh fruit, and a touch of maple syrup. - With a tempered egg. Warm the alt-milk for your cereal. Whisk an egg in a small separate bowl. Then, whisking the egg constantly, slowly pour in about 1/2 cup of the warm alt milk, a little bit at a time, so the egg accepts the warm milk and does not curdle. Once you’ve poured all the milk in, pour over the paleo cereal. Add a little sweetener if desired and any fresh fruit you like. Options for Paleo Cereal Nuts for Paleo Cereal - Brazil nuts - Macadmia nuts Seeds for Paleo Cereal - Chia seeds - Hemp seeds - Sunflower seeds - Pumpkin seeds - Sesame seeds - Raisins are my favorite - Dates, especially Medjool, are positively delicious - Dried cherries - Dried figs - Dried blueberries - Dried mango - Dried goji berries - Skip the coconut or add more. - Add a sprinkle of cocoa powder when blitzing in the food processor for a chocolatey vibe. - Add in a nice handful of freeze-dried strawberries at the end of processing for a delicious “red berries” flavor. - Stir in a scoop of collagen powder when serving for a boost in protein and overall health. - Try a bit of vegan chocolate chips for an indulgent twist. Make this for better paleo mornings How badly do I wish we could clink spoons to “cheers” right now? Way too badly. Other Recipes You’ll Love: - Paleo Blueberry Muffins (Gluten Free, Grain Free) - Crunchy Paleo Granola - Vegan Nutella - Paleo Sweet Potato Apple Breakfast Bake Hey – you’ve made it this far, and now we’re best friends! If you make this recipe, I’d love for you to give it a star rating ★ below. Make sure you follow me on Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook, too! Paleo Cereal (Vegan) This paleo cereal is super fast and easy, made in only three minutes, with whatever nuts and dried fruit you have on hand. Great cold or hot, it's super versatile, naturally vegan, and healthy. Place the nuts in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until roughly and evenly chopped. Add raisins and/or dried fruit and process briefly until slightly chopped. Do not overprocess, or the raisins will become paste. Add seeds and coconut flakes to food processor. Process until the texture of a cereal like Grape Nuts or as desired. Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to about 4 weeks. Serve with alt milk, a little maple syrup, and fresh fruit, if desired. Serve hot or cold. If using dates, chop manually with a knife to prevent stickiness and clumping. To temper an egg, crack an egg into a small bowl and whisk. Warm up the almond (or other) milk you'll serve with your cereal until pretty hot, but not boiling. While whisking the egg, very slowly drizzle about 1/4 cup of the hot almond milk into the egg. Once you've poured in about 1/4 cup of hot liquid, you can add the egg into your cereal bowl without worrying about it curdling.

You can find yourself in troubles after you are caught cheating online. Many married men and women have been caught, due to careless steps they take. Therefore, you have to employ some crucial methods that will help you avoid embarrassments. As you are aware, no one will be happy if his or her spouse is cheating on him. But the fact is that anyone may want to cheat as long as his or her partner is not satisfying in bed. For this reason, we have to play the game wisely. Mistakes that can make your spouse suspicious It is a fact that people get caught when cheating online Although online affairs are the safest, some mistakes can land you on big troubles. These mistakes may appear to be simple, but they can bring disputes and eventually divorce. To avoid such issues of broken marriages, you should find safe ways of having an affair. One of the big mistakes that cheating men and women do is leaving computer history after browsing. Even though your personal computer is a private asset, you cannot deny your spouse using it. He or she may decide to check the previous web pages that you were browsing. This is one of the evidences that you cannot deny, and it can lead to big problems in your marriage. Some people leave computer history simply because they don’t know. It is quite dangerous to leave such evidences that can make your partner get suspicious. However, some people may leave the computer history due to ignorance and negligence. Another common mistake done is leaving phone call logs and text messages from your cheating partner. Your spouse may take your phone, and find such call logs and text messages. This can lead to serious marriage disputes, which eventually may lead to break up. Still on the mistakes that are commonly done, some men and women cheating online use poor means of paying for bills with their cheating partners. For instance, some use credit cards that they share with their spouses when paying for hotel bills. Note that, best affair site bills operate anonymously. Last but not least, some people leave IM chats you make with your cheating partner. IM chats can be a clear evidence of having an affair. Simple guide to counter the mistakes Since you have understood the mistakes, let’s discuss ways of avoiding them. Don’t forget that we’re trying to help you have an affair without getting caught. If you are cheating online, ensure the entire computer history is cleared before meeting your spouse. However, you can choose to delete suspicious history only. If you don’t know how to clear the history, ask your cheating partner on how to do it. This will prevent you from being caught by your husband or wife. Also, never leave text messages and call logs of your cheating partner in your mobile device. Learn how to erase each and every individual messages and calls on your iphone, Android, Nokia, and Blackberry. To avoid using the credit card that you share with your husband or wife, make arrangements of acquiring a debit card to use for hotel expenditure. Ensure that your card is not accessible to your spouse. Lastly, never leave IM chats on MSN, GTALK, or Yahoo Messenger. Learn how to erase them all.

We have been making the most of the heatwave this week, if you can call the sun deigning to appear and not give way to hailstorms for three days straight a ‘heatwave’. Having spent a weekend in Holland where it was so bitterly cold we were forced to buy chips for warmth (or so we justified it), it seemed an absolute coup to come home to brilliant bright sunshine. But then, as is always the way, you spend the majority of your days seeing that sunshine from buses, from office windows, if you’re lucky, feeling the warmth of it on a tube platform. God, it feels like such a waste. And as you approach freedom at the end of the day, when you have time, if not energy, to cavort and frolick like little sun-seeking bunnies, you have to sit dispiritedly on public transport, watching it disappearing from you, beyond the literal horizon, as you travel home. When we limpingly made it to the weekend, we found ourselves grasping it with both hands, and not letting go. So come Saturday, when we were having friends over for dinner, I had to make ice cream. The joy of having learnt to cook intensively over a relatively short period of time is that there are a myriad of quite simple things that I just don’t know, that I imagine most people grew up with and know as a matter of course. In many ways, it’s intensely irritating not to be fluent in kitchen tongue, but when I chance upon them, stutteringly and clunkily, they make everything grin-inducingly easier, and it’s like a little Easter Egg of a kitchen hack. I didn’t know no churn ice cream was a thing. I’d never really turned my mind to it, but I think I assumed that making ice cream was like making waffles: having the correct equipment was non-negotiable. I knew that proper ice cream required an ice cream maker and a proper custard: heating and tempering and the possibility of scrambling, churning and freezing. It is difficult to overstate how easy no churn ice cream is: cream whipped for a couple of minutes is mixed with condensed milk and whatever your chosen flavourings, before being shoved in the freezer. It takes five minutes hands on time, and if you make it mid-afternoon, it’ll be ready for supper. It will melt slightly more quickly than ‘proper’ ice cream, but still retain its proper bite, whilst being so fantastically creamy. I love it. As I continue with this funny little winding adventure of learning how to bake and cook, I find myself seeking out bigger and better projects. Where once I just wanted to have a crack at a carrot cake, I now turn to croissants and caneles. Which is exciting and charming and pretentious in equal measures, but sometimes those projects inevitably take over entire weekends, and I find myself on a Sunday evening, harried and world-weary, baking off something that I have been proving and folding and laminating for days, and suddenly have no desire whatsoever to eat. This ice cream is the exact opposite of that. It is the antidote to kitchen fatigue. It is so simple and glorious: it’s the kitchen promised land. It is the land of milk and honey (and sea salt) ice cream. You could infuse the cream with anything you fancy, but even that is too organised for my liking, if I’m being completely honest. I flavour it with two things I know will be in my cupboards at any given time: honey and sea salt. The honey I use isn’t fancy (although this is fantastic with honeycomb if you happen to have some), the salt a little better, because it should be in fat, crunchy flakes. This is not my first dance with honey and sea salt. I think it is such a gorgeous combination, lighter and brighter and more aromatic than the darker, slightly bitter salted caramel. The honey and seal salt are folded through the mixture, but I take extra of both and lay streaks and sprinkles over the top, so that each scoop ends up with a slick of unadulterated honey, and a cluster of salt flakes. With friends coming over for dinner, I cooked the simplest fancy meal that I know: chicken and potatoes, sprinkled with salt and roasted with lots of garlic, untouched until the chicken skin is taught and crispy and golden. And whilst it cooked, we sat in the garden and drank cold white wine, soaking up every second of sun that we could. I served it with no-knead bread and a big barely-dressed rocket salad. And then for pudding, this ice cream. And here is my favourite kitchen secret: no one is ever disappointed by ice cream. It goes like this: Honey and Sea Salt No Churn Ice cream Makes: Half a litre of ice cream Takes: 5 minutes Bakes [Freezes]: 4 hours 300ml double cream Half a 397g tin of condensed milk 4 tablspoons of honey 2 teaspoons flaked sea salt (I like Maldon) (You’ll see that I’m using half a tin of condensed milk, which I know is annoying; the recipe doubles easily, but I have quite a small freezer, so make this quantity and then refrigerate the rest of the condensed milk until I want to use it for something else, but feel free to double up if its easier: the doubled recipe will produce a litre of ice cream) 1. Pour the double cream into a stand mixer or large mixing bowl and beat with a balloon whisk or using electric beaters until the cream reaches soft peaks (when the whisk is lifted out of the cream, it is thick and initially forms icicle like peaks, but these will almost straight away flop gently back onto the whisk. 2. Fold the condensed milk through the thick cream, gently so as not to flatten the cream. Sprinkle a generous pitch of flaked sea salt into the creamy mixture, and fold through 3 tablespoons of the honey. 3. Pour into a Tupperware container and evenly distribute remaining flaked sea salt and honey. Don’t worry about streaks. 4. Freeze for at least 4 hours. 5. Ta Dah! Icing on the Cake We ate this in large scoops with this incredibly simple flourless chocolate cake which was delicious on Saturday but so infinitely better on Sunday. This cake is so good that Molly Wizenberg made 20 for her own wedding day. I can see why. Make a day in advance if you can, and then cut into fat triangles. It’s also lovely with roasted rhubarb and milk chocolate brownies, or with honey granola sprinkled on the top.

Afghanistan again burst into the headlines last month when the Taliban extremist group attacked the country’s national security agency – killing more than 60 people and injuring another 300. Afghan President Ashraf Ghani’s rise to power in 2014 had cause for a little hope – but that hope is in the past now. Politics usually inform economics – and that’s painfully obvious in Afghanistan. The World Bank says that in Afghanistan, persisting uncertainty around the security and political environment has hindered business activities and overall domestic demand. Growth is expected to only marginally increase from 1.9 percent in 2016 to 2.9 percent in 2017. For more about the Afghanistan economy, CCTV America’s Rachelle Akuffo spoke to Michael Kugelman. He is the senior associate for South and Southeast Asia at the Woodrow Wilson Center.

Diet & exercise are the two most important pillars of a healthy lifestyle, and the two are intimately related. Without good nutrition, exercising becomes that much more difficult, but with better dieting practices, exercise capacity and all of its benefits are enhanced; Better Performance; Enhanced Body Composition; and Improved Quality of Life! No matter what foods compose the majority of one’s diet, there’s nothing quite like the potency of a good pre workout; food simply cannot deliver the scientifically-proven doses of the best pre workout ingredients. Unfortunately, most pre workouts can’t either! Or at least they chose not to. That’s why we created REX PRE™ – a full-strength, clinically-dosed pre workout with the highest quality ketones available. Each scoop provides: - Improved Endurance - Amplified Energy - Intensified Fat-Burning - Increased Pain Tolerance - Maximum Exercise Capacity - Enhanced Focus - Greater Blood Flow - Elevated Strength REX PRE™ wasn’t just formulated to be a good pre workout – it was made to take care of the specific needs of ketogenic athletes and the recreationally active. One of the biggest complaints from lifters after they begin their keto diet is their relative lack of muscle pumps. With less available glucose, muscles during keto need a little boost to burn carbs during exercise and do more reps. With citrulline and beta-alanine to drastically increase work capacity, whether in the gym or on the track, and complementary AmentoPump™, Muscle Pumps are restored in full. That’s just a quick glimpse into the full potential of REX PRE™! Try the world’s best ketogenic pre workout to see the difference for yourself! REX PRE™ can be used for all types of exercise by those following any type of diet to experience amplified training energy, exercise performance, and better blood flow. Those already keto-adapted will benefit from the extra ketones to power exercise, while other ingredients work to help muscles utilize more glucose and perform better. Those habitually consuming a carbohydrate-based diet will be able to reap the rewards of “dual fueling” – having both ketones and carbs to fuel performance – while boosting fat-burning. For endurance exercise, use REX PRE™ 30-60 minutes prior to training. For anaerobic exercise (weight training, sprinting, etc.), use REX PRE™ 20-30 minutes prior to training. 7,000mg Citrulline Malate Citrulline is a non-proteogenic amino acid known to influence nitric oxide generation. Malate is a metabolic intermediate in the Kreb’s cycle – the principal pathway by which nutrients, especially fat and ketones, are metabolized. - Citrulline is the most reliable amino acid for augmenting vasodilation and blood flow. - For supplementation, citrulline is more advantageous than arginine, as most arginine is broken down during digestion, and never increases nitric oxide (the compound that produces vasodilation. - Citrulline, however, is absorbed efficiently and, after entering the body, is converted to arginine – making it a better source for nitric oxide generation. With more nitric oxide, citrulline helps deliver more nutrients to working muscles, clear waste products, and enhance cellular volumization. - Citrulline has also been observed to enhance glycogenolytic (muscle glycogen utilizing) enzymes. This can be particularly helpful to those who have spent extended durations low-carb, as these enzymes will be reduced, limiting the amount of high-intensity exercise that can be performed. - This may be a reason citrulline supplementation has increased force output by over 20%. - Citrulline also helps reduce soreness. - Malate, as Citrulline Malate, is a proven workload capacity booster. Those supplementing with citrulline malate have been able to perform more repetitions during training and sustain performance. 4,000mg goBHB® Beta-Hydroxybutyrate Beta-Hydroxybutyrate, or BHB, is an “alternative” fuel source – a ketone – produced when rates of cellular respiration are exceeded by rates of beta-oxidation of lipids. In other words, during a high-fat diet. - BHB can be thought of as a short-chain fat, similar to MCTs, but smaller in size and better utilized throughout the body. - Ketones have known therapeutic effects, such as promoting insulin sensitivity, antioxidant status, and cellular energy status. - As it pertains to performance and the pre-workout period, adding supplemental ketones has been noted to alter cellular fuel preferences and extend endurance. - This means that our muscles are able to utilize more fat, spare energy stores, and blunt lactic acid formation while enhancing time to exhaustion. - Addition of BHB near exercise may accelerate recovery by increasing mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling. Comparable to how citrulline supplementation is superior to arginine supplementation for increasing body arginine levels, beta-alanine supplementation is superior to carnosine supplementation for increasing body carnosine levels. - Carnosine is a cellular buffer, helping reduce muscle acidity. - Protection from abrupt changes in pH is beta-alanine’s underlying cause for its ability to increase high-intensity exercise capacity, reduce fatigue, and increase power output. - Long-term supplementation with beta-alanine leads to decreased fat mass and increased muscle, likely due to enhancing maximal training loads. - Well-known for the “tingles” – a harmless “side effect” of beta-alanine supplementation known as paresthesia. This sensation will subside with extended use, and some are more sensitive than others based on genetic variations. 1,000mg Choline Bitartrate Choline is a vitamin-like compound with a greater daily intake recommendation than all other vitamins (550mg) due to its role as a methyl donor and in neurological health. - Recent investigations have discovered that almost everyone who does not eat eggs has insufficient choline intake. - Choline helps with myelin formation, enhancing neuron signaling efficiency. - Supplementation with choline has been shown to increase acetylcholine levels. - Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter involved in cell signaling, particularly at the neuromuscular junction, where it assists in muscular contractions. - This has led to improved neuromuscular control – enhanced mind-muscle connection – and better overall cognition. 325mg Caffeine Anhydrous Caffeine has earned its title of “world’s most popular supplement.” It is, indeed, the most used supplement in the world. Nearly 90% of Americans use caffeine daily, and over 50% consume more than 300mg. - Caffeine antagonizes adenosine receptors to produce its most famous effects – increased wakefulness, attention, and energy. - In addition to caffeine’s cognitive-enhancing abilities, it also stimulates an adrenaline release, boosting alertness and focus, body fat lipolysis, and pain tolerance. - Collectively, caffeine use prior to training is useful for many reasons – it improves both aerobic and anaerobic performance (e.g., jogging and sprinting/lifting, respectively), fat oxidation and metabolic rate, total exercise tolerance, focus, and oxygen consumption. 100mg AmentoPump™ Amentoflavone Amentoflavone is a flavonoid commonly found in herbals such as Ginkgo biloba and St. John’s Wort. - Amentoflavone augments several molecular targets, including GABA receptors, cytochrome P450 3A4 and 2C9, and PDE5. - With AmentoPump™, we are principally interested in PDE5 augmentation. PDE5 is the mechanism through which the most effective vasodilators in the world operate. - By augmenting PDE5, amentoflavone is capable of increasing vasodilation, blood flow, and with the correct form of exercise, pumps. - AmentoPump™ is included to work synergistically with Citrulline, as PDE5 inhibition allows more nitric oxide to carry out its function of enhancing vasodilation. 50mg Infinergy™ Dicaffeine Malate Perhaps one of the only downsides of caffeine is it stops working too fast! Infinergy™ is composed of two caffeine molecules attached to a malic acid (just like the one from citrulline malate). - In this form, caffeine is released over a spread out period of time, instead of all at once, such as with caffeine anhydrous or other forms of caffeine like coffee or tea. - While common forms of caffeine stop working after 6-8 hours, Infinergy™ helps stave off the abruptness of a crash, letting you “come down” more gradually. 5mg Huperzia Serrata Extract Huperzia Serrata contains the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, huperzine A. - While REX™ uses choline bitartrate to help increase acetylcholine levels, huperzine helps reduce the breakdown of existing acetylcholine for a 2-pronged approach of neuromuscular enhancement. - Huperzine can be used as a nootropic and performance enhancer. Its effects as a nootropic are particularly robust, as it has high affinity for acetylcholinesterase inhibition in the brain. - More than just a brain booster, huperzine also helps protect neurons from glutamate and other neurotoxins. Q: How Should I Take REX™? A: As a dietary supplement, mix 1 serving (1 scoop) in 12-16oz of cold water and drink 20-30 minutes prior to weight lifting or explosive exercise or 30-60 minutes prior to endurance exercise. Q: Why Would I Use REX™? A: REX™ Ketogenic Pre Workout is the first BHB-based pre workout supplement with efficacious dosing and a fully transparent label, so you know exactly what you’re getting. The ingredients in REX™ are proven, performance-enhancing supplements, and REX™ was designed to improve all aspects of performance, including endurance, power output, strength, energy, and focus. Q: Will REX™ Augment Muscle Pumps? A: While certain athletes will find it beneficial to NOT have any muscle pumps during exercise, lifters often complain that a ketogenic diet “reduces” pumps during training, but there are many factors to pumps. Everything regarding pumps stays the same except there’s a reduction in lactic acid accumulation because lactic acid is produced from carbohydrate metabolism. Because pumps are dependent on the type of exercise performed, REX™ will NOT increase pumps during all types of exercise. Rather, REX™ increases blood flow and the potential for vasodilation. Therefore, REX™ will help clear metabolic wastes during low to moderate intensity activity, as that type of exercise increases both directions of blood flow (to and away from the muscle). With resistance exercise, thought, the type of exercise preferentially drives blood towards muscle, and REX™ helps create an “overload” effect, strengthening pumps! Q: Can I Stack REX™ with Any Other Archetype Products? A: Yes! REX™ works extremely well with Keto SuperCarb™ consumed during exercise. REX™ provides the energy and Keto SuperCarb™ provides the fuel for the most effective training sessions. - Giannesini, B., Le Fur, Y., Cozzone, P. J., Verleye, M., Le Guern, M. E., & Bendahan, D.

Should We Die? February 20, 2017 (The Atlantic) – The billionaire technologists’ obsession with living forever can approach a sort of parody. Oracle’s Ellison once said, “Death makes me very angry”—suggesting this pillar of nature is just another consumer pain-point to be relieved with an app. But let’s assume, for the sake of argument, that it can be. Let’s say human lives will soon get radically longer—or even become unending. The billionaires will get their way, and death will become optional. If we really are on the doorstep of radical longevity, it’s worth considering how it will change human society. With no deadline, will we still be motivated to finish things?

Butterflies for the Heroes Sandy Gerrettie was having a sad day. She was missing those close to her who had passed: Her dog, her dad, and her police-officer husband, Joe, who died in 2013 after suffering injuries from his work in 2009. But on that day, she and her son, David, discovered Butterfly Effect. She immediately thought of her husband and the work she does in his honor, the Joseph L. Gerrettie Blue Line Heroes Foundation. “I thought, ‘Wow, that would be amazing because Joe was all about making a difference,” Sandy said. When Sandy and David learned they’d won, they immediately connected with their friend and Joliet’s mayor, Bob O’Dekirk, who gave them his full support. She found the perfect spot in Bicentennial Park by the river, rounded up volunteers and, despite the challenge of whipping winds and extreme weather, plus limited time (Sandy takes care of her 95-year-old mother, as well), went to work. “We got the stencils up and got them spray painted, and then on the third day we started painting and it rained for eight days straight. We painted in the rain, it was cold, it was ugly, it was miserable.” At the end of 10 days, they’d installed two glorious butterflies, one for the foundation and the other for the city. The Butterfly Effect in Action The idea behind Butterfly Effect is to create a chain of kindness—one good act can set off an untold number of others, even if it’s simply touching someone’s heart for a moment. That’s exactly what happened with the Foundation’s Butterfly even before the crew finished painting it. A blues harmonica player from Sweden just happened to be visiting Joliet. “He stopped at the park and the park director walked him around to the back to show him what we were doing, and his whole body was covered in goose bumps. … he stood silent and started to cry and the park director asked what was wrong. And, he said, ‘My son passed away recently and he loved butterflies and I know he’s here with me right now.’” Sandy is confident that the butterflies will continue to do good for the community. “We can bring some peace and healing to the people here in town because we need it. We really do. This is … the whole country is in a volatile situation. And, any kind of peace or healing, calm, hope, any kind of compassion or love or courage or anything, faith, anything that we can bring to our town is what we want to do. And, I think we accomplished that, I really do.” Get involved! Learn how to bring a Butterfly to your community to help a cause near to your heart. #ButterflyEffect #BeTheChange #Wahl2Wahl There was an article posted in The Herald News that shares more about our Wahl2Wall Install, honoring Joe, you can read it here: News Article Peace love and always JOY!

Revolver Gallery, originally founded by serial entrepreneur Ron Rivlin in 2012, is pleased to announced the opening of its new Bergamot Station location with critically acclaimed show “Andy Warhol: Revisited.” Home to the largest gallery-owned collection of Andy Warhol artwork, this prized exhibition launches on the 30th Anniversary of Andy Warhol’s passing, paying tribute to the legendary figure that has influenced and inspired so many art lovers globally. “Andy Warhol: Revisited” will be a free-with-reservation exhibition debuting with a VIP opening on Saturday February 11th, 2017 from 6:00pm – 10:00pm. “Revisited encapsulates the artist’s fascination with glamour, fame, money, celebrity and tragedy through his artistic creations.” – Ron Rivlin, Curator and Founder of Revolver Gallery Curated by Revolver Gallery Owner, Ron Rivlin and Gallery Director, Korbin Coskey, “Andy Warhol:Revisited” is a wall-to-wall, salon-style exhibition featuring over 200 artworks by Warhol spanning from the 60s through 80s, including many of Andy’s iconic works. The exhibition will feature interactive installations, themed rooms, and guest speakers. Some standout items on display include the gallery’s latest acquisition: Andy’s 1974 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow along with the original registration which will be the first time Andy’s car will be on display to the public; 15 very rare and complete portfolios of Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe works; a rare Stable Gallery plywood Campbell’s Juice Box previously owned by famed designer Halston; an extremely rare Andy Mouse portfolio by artist Keith Haring in collaboration with Warhol; and several 1981 paintings including Dollar Sign, black and white Ads and Illustrations series paintings, and Guns – which depicts the weapon used by Valerie Solanas who attempted to murder Warhol in the late 1960’s. There will be a room dedicated to famed Factory photographer Billy Name, who created the aesthetic and design of the Silver Factory. Visitors can take a break and take a selfie on Andy’s blood-orange Factory sofa as well as the re-created wall of Campbell Soup cans before marveling over the iconic works. Rivlin, a Toronto native who made his name for himself by founding multiple companies in the music and entertainment world has become an avid collector of Warhol’s work over the years. In 2012, Rivlin saw an opportunity to open Revolver Gallery which has become a unique approach to the gallery model displaying the rare works he has assembled over the years. Revolver Gallery, founded by serial entrepreneur Ron Rivlin, maintains a one-artist program devoted exclusively to promoting and preserving the legacy of Andy Warhol through education and experience. In 2017, Revolver will give back to the community with the launch of it’s sister non-profit company named ArtCauseAmerica.org. Its mission is to provide students, who attend public schools with no art programs, the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of creating artwork for free through classes in public libraries.

White House awards HealthCare.gov contract to new contractor WASHINGTON (CNN) — The Obama administration has tapped the world’s largest consulting firm to take over its beleaguered Obamacare website. Accenture, a consulting and technology services company with 281,000 employees and $28.6 billion in revenue, won the one-year contract to continue fixing HealthCare.gov, the online health insurance marketplace set up by the Affordable Care Act. The Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services made the announcement Saturday. “As CMS moves forward in our efforts to help consumers access quality, affordable health coverage, we have selected Accenture to become the lead contractor for the HealthCare.gov portal and to prepare for next year’s open enrollment period. We are pleased that more than 1.1 million consumers already have enrolled in a private plan in the federal Marketplace thanks to existing efforts and look forward to working with all of our contract partners to ensure a smooth transition of this work,” the agency said in a statement. As lead contractor, the company will be in charge of not only improving the current site, but also preparing it for open enrollment next fall. The task includes 24/7 customer support, eligibility and enrollment functions, and transmitting the personal data in enrollment forms. “We are honored to be part of the team of technology and healthcare companies and government professionals helping the federal government meet the healthcare coverage needs of its citizens,” said David Moskovitz, the chief executive of Accenture Federal Services. “Accenture will bring deep healthcare industry insight as well as proven experience building large-scale, public-facing websites to continue improving HealthCare.gov.” CMS will pay Accenture $45 million for the initial phase of the contract. The two sides are still defining the extent of Accenture’s work, and a final value for the contract will be decided then. Obamacare’s site launched on October 1, 2013, to disastrous reviews, as users experienced major problems accessing the site, creating profiles and selecting insurance plans. The White House later fired the original contractor, CGI Federal, and it cut ties with the company Friday, choosing not to renew its contract. CGI’s original contract for HealthCare.gov was for two years and valued at nearly $100 million. Duringtestimony before Congress in October, CGI Senior Vice President Cheryl Campbell denied any wrongdoing by her company, telling legislators that it was not “unusual to discover problems” in a system with so many concurrent users that would need to be addressed after going live. Fixes since have resulted in improved performance of HealthCare.gov. At the end of 2013, more than 2 million people had signed up for coverage, with about half enrolling through the federal marketplace, officials said. By Conor Finnegan CNN’s Brianna Keilar contributed to this report.

Paradise, a legend since 1953- have managed to call themselves World’s Favourite Biriyani and my experience here totally justified it. This was my first visit to Paradise (overall) and my experience here was phenomenal. To start of with a small background- Paradise chose Bangalore to set their first Out-of-Hyderabad restaurant, which was in Indiranagar. In the past one and half years they have managed to set up five fully fledged restaurants in this city, JP Nagar outlet being the 5th one. LOCATION: JP Nagar, 24th Main road near Mayura circle. It is very difficult to miss this place as the building is so colourful and vibrant. They have valet parking facility, hence making it more accessible. AMBIANCE: Bright and sparkling. The place is clean and looks very neat. The tables are spaced aptly, doesn’t make the interiors claustrophobic. Walls are adorned by the pictures of celebrities who have visited Paradise. There is seating in ground and upper floors. Nothing fancy in here, but I liked the simple theme that’s followed throughout. Dine-in and takeaway sections are different, a good way to check on crowd during peak times. Now, lets get to the point- FOOODD! SOUPS: Since I was seated with my vegetarian friends, we ordered veg hot and sour soup. It arrived in no time and was pipping hot. Slightly thick, so much that it needs to be consumed immediately. It packed a nice tangy punch, has mushroom and other veggies which are embedded perfectly. STARTERS: Four options in each section (veg and non-veg) which feels like it is limited. But wait, there is a separate menu which caters to Kebabs. So overall, there are a lot of varieties to choose from. We were served samples of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian starters. It is worth mentioning that the chefs at Paradise have done a great job at offering Chinese starters in-spite of having its USP in Hyderabadi cuisine. - Paneer 65 – These are basically Paneer pakoras tossed in chilly flavoured curd sauce which is induced deep inside as the Paneer is cut in small pieces. - Chilli Paneer – Wok tossed cubes of Paneer, coated with chilli sauce, has a tangy feeling to it. Expected this dish to be more spicy. - Veg Manchurian – Loved the taste of this particular item. Fried dumplings with veggie fillings and tossed in Manchurian sauce. It is picture friendly with so much of rich garnishing over it. - Salt and Pepper Potatoes – They look like hybrid version of French fries, but have one bite and you realise why it is named salt and pepper! Mild hints of these two spices adds up to give you a tingling sensation on every bite. - Veg Kebab Platter – A huge platter consisting of three different varieties of Kebabs- Paneer Harayali Tikka, Subz aur Moonghphalli Seeekh and Paneer tikka. Here, Moonghphalli sounded new and had a Chicken-sheekh-kebab like look to it. Each piece is covered by chucks of peanuts making it crunchy. It is dry from within so mint chutney is recommended. - Chicken 65- It looks a lot similar to its Paneer counterpart, but for some reason I felt Chicken was able to retain more of batter/outer layer, making it more tastier. - Chilli Chicken- Again, it looks like Chilli Paneer. I loved the way the starters are replicated making the same flavour accessible to both vegetarian and non vegetarian folks. - Apollo Fish- Crispy fried fish tossed in a yoghurt sauce with green chillies and curry leaves. This was the first unique preparation amongst the starters that I got to taste. It has a yellowish appearance with chilli garnishes. Basa fish fillets used is proper (not hard nor soft) so it doesn’t get messy while eating. - Chilli Prawns- Wok tossed deep fried tiger prawns, coated with tangy chilli sauce. Loved the batter laden prawns making it succulent on every bite. Sea food lovers should definitely order this and Apollo fish. - Non Veg Kebab platter- One word to describe this is- colourful. It is a non vegetarian’s delight, the sight of it can make your mouth water .. We had red Mutton Seekh, Chicken Seekh, Tandoori Jhinga and Kalmi Kebab and other assorted Kebabs. My favourite amongst all these was Mutton Seekh followed by Tandoori Jhinga. Kalmi kebab was a standard affair in my opinion. BIRYANI: I got to taste chicken biriyani and special Biryani from their menu. Was so full that I couldn’t dig into the veg biryani, though the feedback received from my fellow foodies was that it was devoid of any colour (usually associated with Biryani), but tasted good. I will make sure to try it during my next visit. - Special Biryani is a unique and rare combination of lamb + chicken Biriyani served with traditional raita and salan. The quantity (and also the price) is massive! One portion can easily fill 3-4 tummies. - Chicken Biriyani for me comes under the category of casual food. Taste here is way better than many Biryani outlets. The long basmati rice cooked in layers with saffron makes it a delectable delight. DESSERTS: For some obvious reasons (taste of course), I felt desserts to be their USP after Biriyani. Lot of options to choose from and I am sure none of them will disappoint. Double ka meetha and Gajar ka halwa are heavy on stomach!! Fried and soaked bread slices in double ka meetha has lot of saffron and cardamom hints and is so soft that it literally melts in the mouth. Qubani ka meetha is a Hyderabad speciality. Qubani in urdu means ‘Apricot’. It is prepared from Apricot puree, basically a thick compote. It was garnished with ice cream making it more rich and added a bit of vanilla flavour. Finally we got our hands at Gulab Jamun, the Jamuns were slightly hard with a very (extremely) smooth texture. (I like it this way!!). Falooda here has some nice touches making it unique, some might not like the overpowering essence of rose syrup, but for people who are okay with it, this is a must have. It was a perfect end to our gastronomical journey SERVICE: Impeccable to the highest extent. We were a big crowd and the staff did a good job of keeping the overall process smooth. Dishes kept coming at regular intervals and there was no goof up in the order in which it was bought. Paradise scores a full mark in customer satisfaction and this in itself is a good sign of a restaurant.

Welcome to this week’s Math Munch! Here’s something that sounds impossible: turn a single newspaper page into two rings, linked together, using only scissors and folding. No tape, no glue– just folding and a few little cuts. Want to know how to do it? Check out this video by Mariano Tomatis: On his website, Mariano calls himself the “Wonder Injector,” a “writer of science with the mission of the magician.” And that video certainly looked like magic! I wonder how the trick works… Mariano’s website is full of fun videos involving mathe-magical tricks. I like watching them, being completely baffled, and then figuring out how the trick works. Here’s another one that I really like, about a fictional plane saved from crashing. It’s a little creepy. How does this trick work??? Next up is one of my favorite number pattern — Pascal’s Triangle. Pascal’s Triangle appears all over mathematics– from algebra to combinatorics to number theory. Pascal’s Triangle always starts with a 1 at the top. To make more rows, you add together two numbers next to each other and put their sum between them in the row below. For example, see the two threes beside each other in the fourth row? They add to 6, which is placed between them in the fifth row. Pascal’s Triangle is full of interesting patterns (what can you find?)– but my favorite patterns appear when you color the numbers according to their factors. That’s just what Brent Yorgey, computer programmer and author of the blog “The Math Less Travelled,” did! Here’s what you get if you color all of the numbers that are multiples of 2 gray and all of the numbers that aren’t multiples of 2 blue. Recognize that pattern? It’s a Sierpinski triangle fractal! If you thought that was cool, check out this one based on what happens if you divide all the numbers in the triangle by 5. The multiples of 5 are gray; the numbers that leave a remainder of 1 when divided by 5 are blue, remainder 2 are red, remainder 3 are yellow, and remainder 4 are green. And here’s one based on what happens if you divide all the numbers in the triangle by 6. If you want to learn more about how Brent made these images and want to see more of them, check out his blog post, “Visualizing Pascal’s Triangle Remainders.” Finally, I just stumbled across this collection of mathematical poems written by students at Arcadia University, in a class called “Mathematics in Literature.” They’re the result of a workshop led by mathematician and poet Sarah Glaz, who I met this summer at the Bridges Mathematical Art Conference. Sarah gave the students this prompt: Step1: Brainstorm three recent school or other situations in your present life – you can just write a few words to reference them. Step 2: List 10-20 mathematical words you’ve used in class in the Step 3: Write about one of the previous situations using as many of these words as possible. Try to avoid referencing the situation directly. Write no more than seven words per line. Here’s one that I like: ASPARAGUS, by Sarah Goldfarb An infinity of hunger within me Dividing a bunch of green Snap and sizzle, Green parentheses in a pan The aromatic property Simplifying my want Producing a need Each fraction of a second Dragging its feet impatiently as I wait And when it is distributed on my plate It is only a moment before zero Units of nourishment remain.

Gangtok is a bustling, friendly hill station, and the capital of the Himalayan state of Sikkim. The name Gangtok is derived from the Tibetan word for 'hillside,' and the city currently has a population of around 80,000 - a mixture of indigenous Sikkimese and people of Nepalese and Tibetan ancestry. Gangtok is a popular place with tourists heading on treks, though the facilities do not reflect the number of international visitors. However, efforts are being made by the government to improve the conditions. Gangtok could easily be one of the cleanest cities you've ever come across. Highly organised and beautifully maintained, it used to be the Switzerland of the east, now it looks like it was sold to cement and construction companies, alcohol stores are plentiful with plenty of clientele from the locals. Tourists are of paramount importance, hence rules have been laid in order to prevent tourists from being cheated. Cab fares are mostly fixed for such a reason. Gangtok is a really nice place to unwind. There are quite a few places for vegetarians to eat, since it is mostly dominated by Buddhist culture. The city resembles the Bhutanese capital, Thimphu. Devoid of large stores and book shops, this place is a nice break from typical city lives. The city is a fascinating place to spend a few nights, the winding side alleys hide some unexpected gems, and the main street (MG Marg) is pedestrianized and a pleasant place to take a stroll. The city sleeps by 9pm mostly, except for a few pubs which are open till 11pm. Beware that Sikkim has banned all forms of tobacco. It is illegal to smoke anywhere in Sikkim or buy/sell cigarettes. Gangtok also has strictly enforced traffic and littering laws among others. Inner Line Permit Extension - The location of the office that grants Sikkim ILP extensions has changed and most online information is outdated and incorrect, even on official sites. It is now necessary to visit the Foreigners Registration Office (FRO) located behind the large Department of Tourism building in Tadong, 5kms below Gangtok. The easiest way to arrive here is to descend the steps beside the big tourism office at the start of MG Marg, where shared taxis leave going down the mountain. Ask for M.P. Golai, Tadong, ride is 20rps. Extension is easy, once you find the office. FRO officials can extend Sikkim ILP up to 60 days total stay, though they may or may not grant the maximum in one extension. The nearest airport is at Bagdogra (IXB)situated about 40 mins drive to Siliguri.Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport, Guwahati is a much better connected airport but it's 550KM from Gangtok.

Moorish poets described the Alhambra as “a pearl set in emeralds”, an allusion to the colour of its buildings and the woods around them. The Alhambra covers an area of 35 acres or 142,000 square metres. TIP 1 : Plan your itinerary and prioritise the places to visit depending on your personal interests and time available to avoid weariness. TIP 2 : Visits have an average duration of 3 hours. TIP 3 : Wear appropriate and comfortable footwear as well as sun protection in summertime. TIP 4 : Due to the great demand and restriction on the number of visitors it is recommended you purchase your ticket in advance. There are a variety of tickets for Daytime, Evening and Garden visits with discounts available with justification of retirement for over 65 years old. Accompanied children under 12 are free. Tickets can now be purchased directly from The Alhambra, when purchasing you will need to decide what time you want to visit the Nasrid Palaces. See Tip: 16 for more ticket information. TIP 5 : The Nasrid Palaces may only be accessed in the hour indicated on your ticket, due to limited capacity. Plan your visit to the rest of The Alhambra around your allocated time for the Nasrid Palaces. TIP 6 : Due to the large crowds it is advisable to arrive in advance, especially on weekends and holidays. 4 main areas to visit at The Alhambra: 1 The Alcazaba The Alcazaba is one of the oldest parts of the Alhambra where the king established the royal residence until the palaces were finished. It was then used as a fortress for military purposes and a state prison, even during the French occupation. All that remains are its massive outer walls, towers and ramparts. On its watchtower, the 25 m (85 ft) high Torre de la Vela, the flag of Ferdinand and Isabella was first raised as a symbol of the Spanish conquest of Granada on 2 January 1492. TIP 7 : It takes 20 minutes to get to the Alcazaba from the Entrance Pavilion (Ticket Office). 2 The Nasrid Palaces The Nasrid Palaces were the heart of the Alhambra and the seat of the Sultans' Court. The palatial complex consists of 3 buildings: - The Mexuar - was used as a courtroom and for meetings between ministers of the king. - The Palace of Comares - was erected around the Patio de los Arrayanes (Courtyard of the Myrtles). The side exits lead to the Sala de los Embajadores (Hall of Ambassadors) which is located inside the Tower of Comares and the Sala de la Barca (Hall of the Boat). - The Palace of the Lions - a royal residence comprising of a central courtyard, the Courtyard of the Lions, and halls along each side - the Hall of the Mocarabes, the Hall of the Kings, the Hall of the Two Sisters, the Hall of the Ajimeces, leading on to the mirador Daraxa viewpoint, and the Hall of the Abencerrajes, along with the Harem. TIP 8 : To manage the demand each person is assigned a specific time which is printed on your admission ticket for access to The Nasrid Palaces. Plan the order of places to visit around your assigned time as you will not be able to access The Nasrid Palaces after this specific time, they are very strict about this. TIP 9 : It takes 17 minutes to get to the Nasrid Palaces from the Entrance Pavilion (Ticket Office). TIP 10 : On weekends and holidays there could be a line to enter this section of the Monument, keep this in mind so you arrive at the Palaces at the time indicated on your ticket. TIP 11 : The Nasrid Palaces exit onto the Partal gardens where there is a rest area which is the perfect place to take a break. 3 The Partal El Partal comes from an Arabic word meaning "the portico". The Partal of the Alhambra is the area including the Tower of the Ladies and the Gardens. The Tower of the Ladies, or Torre de las Damas with its open portico and pool in front can be found next to the Courtyard of the Lions. TIP 12 : The Tower of the Ladies has a beautiful reflecting pool in front where you can take a great picture of the building and it’s reflection in the water. From here you can also see the gardens of the Partal, the Albaicin and the orchards of the Generalife. TIP 13 : The Partal Gardens are not part of the Nasrid Palaces so you can visit this area as many times as you like. 4 The Generalife The Palacio de Generalife was the summer palace and country estate of the Nasrid rulers and were built during the reign of Muhammed II. The complex consists of the Patio de la Acequia (Court of the Water Channel or Water-Garden Courtyard), which has a long pool framed by flowerbeds, fountains, colonnades and pavilions, and the Jardím de la Sultana(Sultana's Garden or Courtyard of the Cypress). TIP 14 : There is a rest area at the exit of the Palace which is perfect for a break, particularly since it is a distance to the entrances of the other three places to visit and the General Exit. TIP 15 : It takes 15 minutes to get to the Generalife from the Entrance Pavilion (Ticket Office). Purchase Your Ticket in Advance to Avoid Disappointment There are several types of tickets: Daytime visit, Garden visit and Evening or Night visit. TIP 16 : The Daytime visit includes all the areas of the Garden visit. The Garden Visit only includes part of the public areas. Tickets can now be purchased directly from the Alhambra, when purchasing you will need to decide what time you want to visit the Nazrid Palaces. - This visit includes the areas of the Alcazaba, Charles V Palace, the Nasrid Palaces, the Generalife, the Mosque baths and Gardens.

Columbian finally gets first win, stops Rain or Shine in its tracks ANTIPOLO—Columbian put a positive stamp in its dreary conference after frustrating Rain or Shine, 100-84 and ending its nine-game skid in the PBA Governors’ Cup Friday at Ynares Center here. The Dyip, who are already out of the playoff picture, improved to 1-9 while dampening Elasto Painters’ quarterfinals hopes as they stayed at the ninth seed with a 2-5 card. This is the Dyip’s first win in the third conference after going on a 25-game losing streak that lasted for more than two years. Columbian’s last victory in the Governors’ Cup was in the 2015-2016 season when it was still called Mahindra Enforcer and had James White as the import. Dyip head coach Johnedel Cardel said the win was a huge sigh of relief for him after he told team management that he was prepared be let go if the team doesn’t start winning. “It’s as if a thorn was taken out of my chest,” said Cardel in Filipino. “I felt like giving up and I told the bosses that if we don’t win I’m fine if the team shuffles everything up and that’s fine with me.” “They told me that they won’t do that and they support me so that was a morale booster for me.” Columbian lost a 11-point halftime lead and trailed 61-57 midway the third quarter, but responded with an inspired 34-9 blitz to turn the game back to its favor.

In iOS 13 there will be a small, but extremely important change regarding access to data by applications, which can seriously hinder the lives of companies who like to collect data. An obvious example is Facebook and its Messenger and WhatsApp. This change is intended to limit applications’ access to background data. As The Information indicates, this is primarily about communicators with a voice call function. At present, the libraries responsible for the conversation remain active at all times. This allows you to initiate a connection faster, but also makes it easier to perform other operations, such as collecting data, as well as consuming hardware resources. The new iOS 13 is to end it. Citing two people familiar with the project, The Information states that Apple wants to force Facebook and the rest to redesign messengers. Apparently, WhatsApp, which is even based on background operations, will even suffer, which even applies to encryption. However, in fact, all creators have a problem. Facebook spokesman maintains that the company does not collect data through the connection function. – Changes in the upcoming versions of iOS are not insignificant, but we are talking with Apple about what to do best, – said the representative. – Simply put, we use the PushKit VoIP API to provide world-class private messaging services, not to collect user data, he assured. For a change, Apple’s spokesperson declined to comment on the matter. Gracious Apple? Not exactly Has Apple noticed much absolute privacy and wants to help users? – you will ask. Well, not exactly. The reason seems to be different. Recently, Facebook has taken an offensive in the communication market, an example of which is adding the company name to the names of Instagram and WhatsApp applications. There is reasonable suspicion that in Cupertino they are worried about the position of iMessage, which in the United States is one of the strongest arguments for choosing an iPhone. The iOS 13 operating system will debut in September, although the deadline for adapting to the new specifications is April 2020. Interestingly, the change in the PushKit VoIP API has already been announced at the June conference for programmers, WDC, but has not enjoyed too much public interest. Maintain at all costs On the other hand, Facebook clearly doesn’t have clean hands. The debate on how Zuckerberga uses VoIP has been going on for many years. Although Facebook messages were thrown into the standalone Messenger application in 2014, the Menlo Park company tried to keep the API in the main application. Philip Shoemaker, then the head of the Apple app evaluation team, confesses that in 2016 the trick was unmasked and the library was removed. However, Messenger and WhatsApp still use this feature. “Messenger can still use [VoIP in the background] mode, and that’s it,” said Shoemaker. – What they do in the background, regardless of whether it is taking calls, eavesdropping or updating the content of the main application, is not clear to Apple – the expert added. And in addition to potential data collection, every background process consumes system resources, reducing battery life. Anyway, this was the argument when it was discovered that Facebook’s main application was using voice calling in the background, although there is no such need. The topic briefly hit the headlines. Other well-known applications, such as Snapchat and Chinese WeChat, are also using VoIP to run in the background for reasons unrelated to voice calls, one of the people familiar with the problem said. Snap did not have an immediate comment, and WeChat did not respond to a request for comment – we read. It’s easy to deduce what it all means.

The infographic explains the inclusion of games and other electronic apps in the educational system for children, which is currently using only traditional ways. The most important aspect that is discussed in the infographic is the familiarity of games to the children. Most children – almost all – grow up in an environment where they keep in contact with gadgets like mobile phones continuously. These children even start playing games at very early age. Because of these environmental modifications that technology has caused, the mindset of children towards learning is fundamentally different from the mindset of children in the previous times. Thus this leads to the inclusion of games in the syllabus for children. There are different ways in which games can promote the learning resulting in overall better experience, and it is proved by the latest research by Paul Howards, although the fact was believed previously that games make children intelligent, but it was believed blindly and there was no scientific evidence to prove that. Now as we have a proof in the form of a scientific research, we can now rely more on facts. This research is mentioned in the infographic which is compiled by Kyle Wards who works at Game Period. The most interesting thing that is mentioned in the research is that when children play video games, the dopamine level in their brains increases and this leads to two healthy things: the first one is that dopamine is associated with creativity and innovation, therefore, its increase in the brain of children is considered a good symbol. On the other hand, the second thing has more to do with the associative memory functioning of our brain. That is to say, when we learn, we learn by the process of association. For instance, if I know few things already, and if I read something new, and if these two things have some connections, both these things will be arranged in my brain, enabling me to retain and recall information much more effectively. Another thing that games can really help with, in the learning environment, is the motivation. If the children are motivated, they can do anything. For instance, if you ask a child that if you study for one hour I’ll let you play games for one hour later. This will give the child incentive to study; but, what if we combine the games as well as a study so that when the child will play games, he will be learning something simultaneously. That is the basic argument of those people who favor games in the educational system. However, there aren’t only games that are gaining popularity day by day, many apps are also being developed which focus more on the study aspects and less on the gameplay.

Have a long case clock lying around that's too old-fashioned for your liking? It's too special to be thrown or given away, but too outdated in style to match your modern, minimalist taste in interior design. The easiest way to change it up and keep up with modern looks is to change the clock's hands. This collection of clock hand designs take inspiration from photos in an old book, but they're the kind of good vintage that could match with the industrial interior trend of the present. It includes both the short hour hand and longer minute hand. Take two of the most similar ones or, if you're adventurous, mix and match with different patterns for the two. This marquetry pattern is meant to be applied to a veneer and put onto any square coffee table. Some pieces of furniture only take a while before they start looking redundant and boring. Table cloths can only do so much and would need to be replaced every once in a while. This pattern gives the actual furniture a new look and doesn't require an expert's mastery to be able to accomplish. It's good for dining tables that you see and eat on for every meal. It can also be put onto nice and square coffee tables that welcome guests in your living room. Coasters are usually used to protect the table's surface or the cloth that covers it from the condensation flowing from a mug or glass. Since these coasters are made of wood and have patterned holes on them, these are better simply for decoration on the living room table or for hot drinks that won't cause condensation. Available in different designs and shapes, these will look beautiful on their own or stacked up on top of each other. Comparing modern furniture to that of the early 20th century, we can see how trends have changed immensely. We've become more attracted to clean, industrial lines whereas before it's all about intricate, sculpted swirls and patterns. Our shelves nowadays are usually made up of plain panels of pallet wood with a neutral coat of paint and contemporary furniture legs or feet. These shelf bracket patterns are taken from old designs that can be incorporated to enhance modern furniture. If the trend of minimalist furniture is too simple for you, this will add an interesting touch to a bland piece. This circular scroll saw pattern works multiple ways. For one, it can stand on its own as an ornament on an awkwardly blank wall. On the other hand, it can be a frame you can paint for anything you can think of. Some ideas to consider are putting a custom-cut circular mirror in the middle of it, a printed family photo or personal portrait, or have an artist create a personal piece that fits the circle. This download can also be edited according to the size you want without losing its resolution. This vectorized pattern is the same as the last, though it makes more sense to put something inside the oval-shaped hole in the middle. It's really meant to be a frame for something. A painted mirror frame works best for the shape because it's large enough to include at least half of the body. It doesn't have to be eye level though. You can position it high on a wall beside a window. The mirror will reflect light into the room while the vectorized pattern is a feast for the eyes as a piece of art. You can't say this is just another mirror frame pattern. It could function in more ways than just a wall hanging décor. First off, the asymmetrical swirls unexpectedly works as good design. It's a fresher look from the rectangular or circular shape of the first two mirror frame patterns. Attaching a mirror is also easier with this pattern because instead of a hole you have to fit it into, there's an actual empty square space of wood in the middle where you can just glue it onto. If not on a wall, put it flat on a table and place your best vase on it with the most colorful flowers. The mirror can reflect the view of the arrangement from the bottom, which instantly enhances a common table centerpiece. Vintage cars have a certain, unexplainable quirkiness to them that's timeless and ageless. Almost everyone can see their appeal at first glance. These vector illustrations are downloadable patterns for scroll saw projects that are in between beginner and advanced levels. As they're only designed to look like silhouettes, every vintage car pattern doesn't have very complicated details but still look complete and as attractive as the actual cars. If you have a strong Christian faith, a cross is important to have around the house – either on top of the entrance door frame or on a designated altar table. You can buy it in a store or make one of your own. Surprisingly, it's fairly easy to DIY. This cross pattern is the right size to be noticeable even from high up above the doorway. It might not be as detailed and realistic as other crosses you might encounter in a retail store, but this one has a figure of Jesus on the cross which is a good a reminder of the Passion of the Christ. Christmas always seems to be just around the corner, and if you're tired of displaying the same set of Christmas ornaments imitating the nativity scene, here's a new one that will spice up your décor this year. It's an easy beginner scroll saw project that can be fun both for the parents and the kids. The pattern only involves a few sharp curves and can be made with a single panel of wood. The finished product should be puzzle-like pieces that can be built by your kids. The pieces are big enough not to be a choking hazard, and when they're all fitted together, it would look like a simple 3D decor project, perfect for the holidays. The intarsia is a form of marquetry that looks difficult to make but really, there are lots of easy patterns that a scroller of any level can create. This butterfly intarsia is an example of the easy ones. Made with 15 inlays of wood, you can edit it according to the appearance you want. It can feature different types of wood, paint, or stain. Otherwise, it can be left as is after finishing for a natural look. Either way, you can use it as display for the backyard beside outdoor plants or windows. Remember those glow-in-the-dark shooting star stickers every '90s kid had in the ceiling of their rooms? Same shape, different concept – shooting star ornaments made from scroll sawing could be the modern version of that. This pattern makes it easy to recreate identical stars. Make as many as you want and instead of sticking them to the ceiling, hang them instead with an invisible nylon string so the stars can twirl from the draft of the air conditioning or whiff of a fan. Overall, that would be cute for a baby mobile right on top of your baby's pallet crib. On a budget this holiday season? These Christmas tree scroll patterns of different sizes make a pretty ornament for your bigger Christmas tree. No need to spend on new ornaments that unnecessarily take from what you could spend on your holiday dinner feast instead. If you're not a fan of the Christmas tree that withers in just a few days, a good amount of these scroll sawed tree patterns can replace any live natural décor. Spray them with some paint for the color as well as a pine essential oil or fragrance to capture that fresh Christmas tree smell that makes the home feel so cozy. The kitchen seem to be the favorite place to put witty catchphrases printed on mini posters, made into fridge magnets, or scroll sawed into a standee. This “Make Tea Not War” sign is for tea-lovers. It's a gentle expression of their preference for tea over coffee without being aggressive about it. With just words and an easy outline of a tea cup, it will be harder to mess this up than it is to produce an acceptable standee. Place it on your condiments shelf or among your honeycomb shelves for an instant smile in the morning as you make your tea. If you can do the “Make Tea Not War” or “family” signs, you can do this apple pattern with the word teacher in the middle. It's good to establish a good camaraderie with the second parents that supervise your kids. This pattern makes such a suitable gift for their teachers the next holiday or teachers' day that comes around. Very few things show appreciation much like a personalized DIY gift does. Teddy bears don't always come in the form of stuffed toys. This teddy bear puzzle is something that can't be handed to your kid as is. It's something he or she has to work for to get a teddy bear, a lesson that's good to instill in them as early as possible. Making this only takes a few curved lines using the scroll saw, which you might have already done in practice. You can also choose to paint or stain it for additional effect. Designed to stand up on its own, display this teddy in your kid's room as a sort of trophy after building it. How many times have you told your son no every time you go to the toy store and he wants a new miniature toy car for his collection? Those little things, when accumulated, can cost a fortune. Instead of those toy cars that millions of other boys probably have, why not make him his own toy race car from scratch? This pattern is a race car puzzle. You have to make it piece by piece, which is not impossible to fulfill, and then put together to look like a race car. Paint each part a different color to resemble actual race cars. If your boy is not much of a car person and would rather be an astronaut (don't we all at that young age?), this space ship stand up puzzle will belong more on his shelf than the race car. It's a cute childish drawing that's just a little bit less sloppy and more realistic. Little details like the flames at the bottom and the small window for the crew make it feel real. Give life to this creation by painting some parts their respective colors or glue colored felt paper to the wood and have fun with the rest. Some cats aren't the most welcoming of hosts, but this one is an exception. The welcome plaque with a cat and flower silhouettes is an adorable sign to greet guests at the door. Pretty straightforward, this easy pattern requires no experience at all. Complete beginners will probably be able to do this with no sweat. This will be unique from your neighbors' signs, which are probably store-bought and hung on several other main doors across the country. As one of the most celebrated seasons in the country, Halloween, along with the Fourth of July, is an occasion you wouldn't want to miss decorating for. These plaques give just the right balance between spooky and quirky vibes. Nonetheless, they still look pretty neat for Halloween décor. These frames are similar with the vector patterns, but this time, Halloween symbols replace mirrors as the centerpiece. They're also intended to be a little bit forward than the orange wooden background for some dimension. When scaled smaller, these can also be used as ornaments for Halloween trees that are becoming a trend this year. This next set of patterns that you can download and print are a little trickier. Not only are they more intricate in the kind of scroll work you'll need to do, but many involve several different materials. Some look a lot more complicated than they really are, and once you get started, you'll find it isn't too bad. Still, we didn't want to include it on our beginner list of scroll projects.

It may be at the end of one side of the hallway, or in a room where there's no space to put in an extra standing furniture but has bare walls free to use. This corner shelf has an attractive pattern that makes eye candy and provides extra space for things like frames of newer, more recent photos. It's only made up of the flat shelf and the two sides that are the background for it. One of them is wider by a quarter of an inch, but both can be made identical using the stack cutting method. It cuts down on time too! Everyone can use some extra storage. If you're the kind of person who gets little things for sentimental reasons, this box will easily find a purpose for your home.

It can be an accessory box or sewing kit, or a box to store all your ammo. But really, the possibilities are endless because you can scale this to the appropriate size that you need if you have a specific purpose for it in mind. A major upgrade from the nativity puzzle pattern for beginners, this advanced pattern comes out as a 3-dimensional functional music box. By the looks of the very detailed and intensive instructions, it doesn't look like a job for someone who's not committed to a scroll saw challenge, which this is. This download includes patterns for all parts of the piece, with labels for where everything should go and step-by-step directions from start to its final assembly. It's not like you're not without guidance at all. With a little patience, you'll have a more solemn version of a nativity scene display to see and hear from. A little less complicated than the music box, this love birds paper plate holder pattern is easier to understand and follow. It's the same concept as a tissue holder, which is another function you can use this for, and everyone knows how that works. This is handy for hosting your next big party when you don't want to end up washing a ton of dishes after, or for a picnic if you're assigned to bring the utensils. If you're setting this indoors, simply place this beside your wooden wine rack to match. Chess pieces look like they could only be made by an expert with at least 50 years of experience, if not a machine. In reality, they could be made by yourself if you have the right pattern and instructions. Unlike making a DIY chessboard, the pieces are more intricate and complicated. This download includes the patterns for all 16 chess pieces and detailed instructions on how to make them, with bonus tips on how to make things easier. This pattern set makes small pieces - the largest piece (which is the king) stands at only 2.6 inches while the smallest pieces (the pawns) stand at 1.5 inches. This large chess players set is a bigger version of the last. The pawns are 2.5 inches, almost the size of the king from the previous version, while the king in this pattern is 4.2 inches. It's not only the size that differentiates this from the small chess players set. The whole appearance of the chess pieces are different. The choice is yours depending on the size of your board, or you can just make your own from scratch depending on what size of players you want. For smaller projects like this where you need multiple small pieces, working with a chop saw to cut the blocks to size might be a great idea. Playing cards are tough to keep when the box it came in doesn't survive quite as long as the cards. This wooden card holder is a sturdy replacement that can protect your prized cards, and considering the strength of its material, it can make both last long. This is not a super complicated box to make for an experienced scroller, but it's made even easier with comprehensive instructions on how to create the perforations. It's sized at 3.5 by 4.8 inches, and has symbols of all the four suits on top, so everyone will know what the box is for. John 3:16 is a popular verse from the Bible but it's still often used and printed as a constant reminder, especially by those who practice their faith religiously. This pattern features the same scripture in a classic font surrounded by classy, intricate, and beautiful fretwork. Since the fretwork is very detailed, this pattern download also includes specific guidelines for specific parts and corners. This one would likely take a lot of patience and concentration but the final output is well worth every minute of deep focus. It would look stunning on an altar or anywhere in the house that you always pass by or stay at. Applying a finish would also be a great idea to preserve the piece as much as possible. Scroll saw pattern projects are not only for decoration. You can also create something with a double function, such as this flower tape dispenser. Looking at it, it's a simple pattern for scrollers but even so, the downloadable pattern includes instructions from drawing the pattern to assembly. Make it a point to put pretty things in your office even if it's just a cubicle. It will make work a lot more fun. Maybe using tape is the last exciting thing in the world, but this dispenser might make you want to use tape all the time. You're probably used to nightlights looking like a random shape or form with an attached electric plug at the end of it. They can be cute, but probably not as much as this full moon nightlight that involves an outer box. This instructional pattern tells everything from how the box is done to how the nightlight is installed into the construction, so no unattractive wire is showing. The wooden box is scroll sawed to imitate tree branches while the nighlight which is positioned inside the box illuminates like a full moon. It creates a scene of a forest at night, which can be calming and relaxing. Paired with a diffuser, this creates the perfect ambiance for rest beside your cozy pallet bed. This witch's brew layerscape is a stunning piece that really wows you at first sight. There's depth and dimension, and it achieves the kind of spookiness that's also adorable at the same time. It might look difficult to make but this downloadable project is broken down into three parts to make things more coherent. Everything is laid out from the materials and the amount or size, the DIY tools required, to the assemblage. Displaying this in front of the house will most likely impress the neighbors for the intricacy and attract trick or treaters to ring the bell. Halloween can't come soon enough, but if you really don't have much time for decorating, this pumpkin candle tray promises to “turn any candle into a seasonal decoration.” It's a little advanced for beginners because of the thin-cut curves of the intricate pattern, but for a seasoned scroller, it can be easy-peasy. This is considered advanced though, because it might require more than just a scroll saw to finish. However, this tutorial explains how it's done overall, so put out all your pumpkin spice and other Halloween or fall-themed candles from the previous years, or you can just use a simple mason jar light fixture to make them an alternate Halloween décor for this busy season. Spiller plants are pretty and endearing, but finding a way to put them in an elevated place can be quite the struggle. Those knitted plant hangers just look like an accident waiting to happen, and they put too much risk of spillage, either water or the plant itself. This wooden plant hanger gives an easy answer to that dilemma. It's a sturdy piece that can ensure your plant is secure high up on the wall. It can also be made with just eight cuts. The hardest part would probably be assembling it, which this tutorial gives very detailed instructions for. Pair this planter with some romantic fairy lights and set the tone for the rest of the backyard. These scrollwork patterns are the best that the internet has to offer. The majority of these designs are completely free while a handful others are only a few dollars but well worth the investment into doing them. By simply downloading these patterns, you’ll have your own guide to print and work with on your next scroll wood project. Most are geared towards beginners, with a few for advanced scrollers. All are ready for you to begin working on them straight away. So, get to work and have some fun with these scroll work patterns that we have picked just for you.

Yesterday Apple has been a fantastic promoter of better password security by suggesting strong passwords and auto-filling them in Safari for macOS and iOS. These passwords are long, complex, automatically stored, stored securely, and—if you have iCloud Keychain—synchronized across all your devices linked to the same iCloud account that also have iCloud Keychain enabled. 2 Days Ago Macs may be a far less tempting target for malware and viruses, but they’re not immune from attack. Even if you don’t care about adware or being used as a means to infect users on other platforms, it’s still possible to fall victim to ransomware, password theft, or stolen iPhone backups. 2 Days Ago Time Machine is an archive rather than a backup, because it retains multiple versions of files as you change them. That’s useful, because if you’re editing an image, a word-processing file, or another document, you can use Time Machine to restore a version before you made certain changes. 3 Days Ago Most people who own Apple hardware have different generations of equipment in use. And because the company’s gear can last a long time, you can wind up with some old equipment—like an ancient Apple TV or Mac that’s being used to serve up video or what have you. 5 Days Ago Woe to those who receive cryptic messages on their Macs. “Click accept on the account page to update this app” is one of them. Which apps? 8 Days Ago Quick! First answer that pops into your head: When you press a Print button, what do you think will happen next? It will print, right? Sure, but not when you’re using Photos for macOS. 10 Days Ago Calculations are for computers, but Soulver makes them human again. The app, overhauled for version 3, lets you type in readable and formatted arithmetic calculations, functions, dates, and unit conversions, and get results you can use. 11 Days Ago Spotify has a handsome macOS app for accessing and making playlists, searching its library of music and other audio, and playing it back. But there’s a mystery in its lists: If you click a column heading for a playlist, album, or other view to sort by ascending or descending order, how do you restore the original sequence? 15 Days Ago Time Machine is a simple and generally effective way to make an ongoing archive of a Mac’s files and folder structure. But it’s only a single copy of your data. 17 Days Ago iMovie lets you create movies from photos and videos, and while its interface is a little hard to understand in parts, you can overcome those limitations and master it to produce great results. 19 Days Ago Say “YubiKey” aloud, and you might get a sense of the intention of Yubico, the company behind this USB hardware-based authentication key that’s stormed the internet by being very clever and working with open standards. 29 Days Ago One of the great selling points for Macs has been a combination of their longevity and resale value. I know plenty of people with decade-old Macs. 33 Days Ago With the public beta out for macOS 10.15 Catalina, you might be a thrill seeker and want to test out the in-progress version. But maybe you’d like to hedge your bets. 37 Days Ago People interacting with their phone while driving have been implicated in an enormous number of accidents. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says 3,166 people were outright killed as the result of distracted driving in 2017. 43 Days Ago A few days ago, I explained how to extract data from a Time Capsule networked drive and Wi-Fi router if you received a warning that you couldn’t back up to it as a destination. 44 Days Ago Sometimes—maybe often—you need to access your Mac, but you’re not sitting in front of it. You might be an office away, across town, or on the other side of the world. 44 Days Ago TeamViewer is a powerful remote-access tool designed for large-scale use, and combining remote screen control, remote file access, and robust ability to share the observation or control of screens among users. 44 Days Ago With a focus on just providing solid remote-access tools, Splashtop is far less expensive than its closest competitors, which include features that many users may not need, such as file storage, password management, and full-blown conferencing tools. 44 Days Ago LogMeIn provides straightforward remote access to a computer’s screen and files from a smartphone, tablet, or other computer. The company orients its approach around the number of computers available to control in a given account, rather than users. 45 Days Ago Your Mac needs to trust your iPhone or iPad—and vice-versa. Apple added a Trust button to iOS years ago that appears when a device is connected to a computer, requiring a phone or tablet be unlocked and the connection confirmed. 46 Days Ago Apple no longer sells its Time Capsule, a combination of a backup drive, Time Machine, and an AirPort Extreme Base Station. However, many are in use, and some components inevitably fail, especially the internal hard drive. 51 Days Ago Some purposes require high-resolution images. Others require high-density ones. How can you tell the difference and provide what’s needed? Resolution and image pixel density are two separate concepts often blurred into the single term “resolution.” This makes it difficult to provide what’s needed. 53 Days Ago When you’re trying to wipe an old Mac to set it up fresh or to give it away or sell it, you typically want to erase the drive. 57 Days Ago The Steam system for games makes it easy to purchase and download games onto a variety of devices you own across multiple computer platforms. Steam acts as a combination of platform, offering some gaming features available to all the apps it supports, and a purchase and copy-protection system. 58 Days Ago Data synchronization is a way to ensure that you’re always up to date across all your devices, no matter what changes, and you typically get an online backup as an extra.

"I guess it's about a cat," he tells Stephen Colbert. If you’re still trying to figure out what "Cats" is about, don’t ask its star Idris Elba, because he doesn’t know either. While hanging at "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" on Monday, Colbert put him in the hot seat by posing the question we’ve all been asking since the trailer dropped: “What is 'Cats' about?” Stumbling for an answer, Elba jokingly responded, "Oh, wow, what a way to throw me under the bus there. It's a classic. It's a big musical. Andrew Lloyd Webber. I guess it's about a cat," he explained. Joking aside, Elba was able to elaborate on his loose understanding of the story, "It's one cat's journey towards what is essentially cat heaven, and that idea is that we all aspire to get toward cat heaven. There's this young cat and she gets taken on this story on how to get to cat heaven or what you should do to get into cat heaven." He then turned to the audience for reassurance that his explanation was, at best, satisfactory. "How am I doing? Does anyone know what this story is?" he jokingly asked. While his abbreviated understanding might make theater snobs scoff behind their playbills, it was enough for the audience and Colbert, who praised Elba for giving, "the best explanation of the plot of 'Cats' I have ever heard." Regardless of his somewhat murky synopsis, Elba embraced his character Macavity during filming, even attending cat school by request of director Tom Hopper, in preparation to slink around like a four legged fur ball. "[He] wanted the actors to really embody the feline persona, the vibe," he revealed. "So he instructed this lovely lady, her name was Sarah, I think, and she was a cat expert. In fact, not only was she a cat expert but she was also an expert on how humans should play cats. She really spoke to us about the anatomy of a cat. We had to understand the bones, the structure, how the hips and everything work. So then what you realize is it's all about the shoulders." Initial public reaction to the trailer, with the full feature set to hit theaters December 20th, has been a mixed bag of emotions. Glee, disdain, and more than a little confusion as to what it's actually about. While the star-studded cast, including Elba, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Hudson, Ian McKellan, and James Corden was enough for some to take pause and just be excited to see so many A-listers thrown together, there has been a collective head scratching about what to expect, aside from watching so many famous faces run around on screen singing in fur and face paint.

I had to grab her to keep her from falling. In case of fire, I would grab my flute and escape. You have to grab every opportunity life gives you.

This adorable 3-year-old cancer survivor was flower girl for the woman who saved her life In what is one of the most moving stories you will hear, a three-year-old cancer survivor who is currently in the process of remission was made a flower girl at the wedding ceremony of the woman who saved her life. Skye Savren-McCormick was diagnosed with juvenile myelomonocytic leukaemia before she had even turned one. After being diagnosed with the rare form of cancer, Skye had to undergo blood and platelet transfusions on a near-daily basis. The youngster was given a 10 per cent chance of survival by doctors and she was in desperate need of a bone marrow transplant. Thankfully, for Skye, this is where Hayden Ryals came in to play. Ryals registered to become a bone marrow donor at the age of 26. A year later, she discovered that she was the perfect match for the toddler and decided to donate her bone marrow anonymously. However, while things looked to on the up, Skye's family were devastated to learn that she had been diagnosed with a second form of cancer, post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder, a lymphoma that can develop after an individual has had a transplant. Now, though, Skye is in remission following treatment that included chemotherapy and further bone marrow transplants. Ryals made the transplant through Be the Match, and she was able to make contact with Skye's family through the organisation that she made the donation with. After getting in contact with the Savren-McCormick family, they quickly struck up a close correspondence, despite Skye living in California and Ryals being based in Alabama. Then, on Skye’s birthday, she received an invitation from Ryals to act as a flower girl at her wedding to her fiancé Adrian Ryals. The pair finally met for the first time at the wedding rehearsal, with their special connection apparent from the get-go. “We were in the front, looking around, and she [Ryals] came in and immediately came over to Skye and dropped to her knees,” her mother, Talia Savren-McCormick, told CNN. “It was so sweet,” she said. “It was like they were in love.” Both parties have no doubt that the bride’s bond with Skye will continue far into the future. “I look forward to the years to come with Skye growing up and continuing this relationship with Hayden, and watching Hayden grow up, too,” Savren-McCormick said. “Anyone could be somebody who saves a life,” she continued. “You don’t have to be a superhero.” “She’s everything to me,” Ryals said about the three-year-old. “And this whole journey, I’ve never once seen it as me helping her, because I was honoured to do it, and it was a privilege for me to get to do it." It's a wonderful story and an amazing gesture from Ryals to get in touch with the family and invite Skye to be a flower girl at her wedding. Not only did she save the young girl's life, but she also gave her an unforgettable memory.

Everyday Health says it's important to pay attention to serving size, calories (and calories from fat), fats, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrates, protein, and vitamins and minerals. Then, you can make smarter food choices like picking up a water-packed tuna rather than oil-packed, which can cut significant calories. Noom helps you find and hold onto your Why while learning about other, smaller concepts that contribute to success. Self-awareness is big with Noom. The app offers short daily lessons that help you see and confront your own typical actions through introducing things like behavioral chains and triggers. If you can get past all the incessantly cheeky language (#noomerslovehashtags), it’s truly impressive how Noom deploys behavioral psychology to influence how you approach wellness. Practicing mindful eating can be really helpful if you’re an emotional eater. Check in with yourself to see if you’re actually hungry or just avoiding that assignment that’s hanging over your head. If you’re going to eat, sit down and give your food your full attention. No eating out of the bag, either. If you’re going to snack on some chips, but them in a bowl so you can see how much you’re eating. That might help curb your cravings. Regardless of which of these diets appeals to you, the biggest challenge for any of them is that you have to have at least some ability in the kitchen -- and for some you have to be pretty competent -- because all of them are based, at least in part, upon purchasing and preparing your own, whole foods. That may be a challenge if food prep is not your thing or you're often pressed for time. In that case, Weight Watchers is probably the easiest program for the non-cook to follow. They not only have a complete line of prepared foods, they also have tools to give you the points values for the menus of many popular restaurants. If you really want to make dieting as simple as possible, skip on over to our discussion of the Best Prepackaged Diet Plans for some really convenient weight loss plans. “Every morning I drink a cup of warm water with half a lemon squeezed into it, a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, and a dash of cayenne pepper,” says Michelle Keough. This helps her start her day off on a healthy note while getting her hydrated after a long night. This trick, combined with eating meals built around protein and veggies, helped her lose 20 pounds and keep it off. All workouts are created equal. Should you be focusing on high intensity interval training (HIIT), training for a marathon or getting on the bodyweight bandwagon to torch the most calories and fat? “The best exercise is one that you enjoy, and one that you will actually do,” said Lieutenant Commander Katrina Piercy of the U. S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, and the federal lead for the 2018 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. Dr. John Jakicic, who chairs the American College of Sports Medicine Obesity interest group, agreed. “There is no perfect exercise,” he said. “They all count, and they all contribute in different ways. You might get something with HIIT that you might not get with yoga, and you get some benefits from yoga that you might not get with HIIT. It’s about moving, and it’s about burning calories.” So find what you can stick with in your life for weeks, months and years -- not just the first week of January. But don’t become one of the 67% of gym membership holders who never go; at around $60 a month on average, that’s wasting $720 a year. The amount you move around and how often you do it will change during your life, but you may not notice it happening. Did you used to play sports, dance a lot, take long walks with your dog, or run around every day after your kids? If you’re not doing any of those things now, or exercising at all, your body won’t burn calories or use energy in the same way and your weight will change. A 2014 Harvard study found that men who did twenty minutes of daily weight training had less of an increase in age-related abdominal fat compared with men who spent the same amount of time doing aerobic activities, and other studies have shown similar levels of success when guys hit the gym to cut down on fat. The implication: Guys can cut belly fat most efficiently with weight training. Loads of research demonstrates people who log everything they eat — especially those who log while they're eating — are more likely to lose weight and keep it off for the long-haul. Start tracking on an app like MyFitnessPal when the pounds start sneaking up on you. It'll help you stay accountable for what you've eaten. Plus, you can easily identify some other areas of your daily eats that could use a little improvement when it's written out in front of you. The good news is that you already own the best tool for shedding that bad-news belly fat: your bike. The key is performing a variety of workouts that build your fat-burning engine, rev your metabolism and the production of fat-burning hormones, suppress your appetite, and help you burn more fat and calories all day long. Yep, your bike can do all that. Here’s how. FitnessMagazine.com is a free membership website which provides a great range of exercise information, videos, recipes, and general advice for staying healthy and losing weight. There’s plenty to explore, with much of the content focused on specific areas of mental and physical fitness. You can also find information for particular dietary requirements, plus explore recipes which apply to specific diet plans. We were really... Choose Liquid Calories Wisely. Sweetened drinks pile on the calories, but don't reduce hunger like solid foods do. Satisfy your thirst with water, sparkling water with citrus, skim or low-fat milk, or small portions of 100% fruit juice. Try a glass of nutritious and low-calorie vegetable juice to hold you over if you get hungry between meals. Be careful of alcohol calories, which add up quickly. If you tend to drink a glass or two of wine or a cocktail on most days, limiting alcohol to the weekends can be a huge calorie saver.

Moscow views cooperation with Tehran as an important condition for ensuring Russia’s national interests and strengthening stability in the South Caucasus, Central Asia and the Middle East. The Russian-Iranian political dialogue in 2018 reflected the two countries’ shared view on some regional and global policy issues, above all the establishment of a multi-polar world order, strengthening the United Nations’ role in international affairs, and countering new challenges and threats on Syrian and Iraqi settlement, as well as the situation in Afghanistan. Russia has maintained constant high-level contacts with the Iranian government. Presidents Vladimir Putin and Hassan Rouhani have met 14 times since the latter’s election in 2013, and have on many occasions resolved important issues. The Russian and Iranian foreign ministers have met regularly in Moscow and Tehran, during UN General Assembly sessions, and on the sidelines of other international events, and have also communicated by phone. Moscow proceeds from the assumption that cooperation with Iran is important for ensuring its national interests, and strengthening stability in the region and elsewhere in the world. That is why throughout the past year Russia has actively defended the Iran nuclear deal, which the US withdrawal threatens to unravel. There is a shared view in both Moscow and Tehran that the breakup of the nuclear deal risks destabilization of the region and the whole world. President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw the US from the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran set forth a new, “offensive” phase in Tehran’s foreign policy. On the one hand, this reflected the growing role of hardliners among those responsible for making military and political decisions in Tehran. On the other, the US policy has resulted in the moderates in Iran, including in the presidential administration and the government, hardening the country’s foreign policy. As a result, Iran has ramped up the number of short- and medium-range missile tests, conducting seven test launches of medium-range missiles, five short-range missile launches, as well as a cruise-missile launch. This was a significant jump from just four medium-range and a single short-range missile test carried out in 2017. Moscow and Tehran have agreed to simplify customs procedures, remove barriers complicating the free flow of goods and services, and improve communications in the banking sector. Not all of the problems in relations between Russia and Iran have been resolved as of yet, but the two countries are moving toward a strategic relationship. Many problems still persist in trade and economic relations, with a trade turnover of just US$2 billion between two major powers looking practically negligible. The most notable agreement is the decision to complete the 7,200-kilometer North-South Transport Corridor to ensure faster and cheaper shipment of goods from China and India to Europe. According to a memorandum of understanding on an “oil for goods” program signed in 2014, Russia planned to buy 5 million tons of Iranian oil each year (about 100,000 barrels a day) and supply it to other countries. In return, Russia would provide $45 billion worth of goods to the Islamic Republic. Tehran, for its part, committed to spend half of the revenue from oil sales on Russian goods and services, such as aircraft, airfield and railway equipment, trucks and buses, pipes and construction services in Iran. In keeping with the program, in November 2017, Russia started importing limited amounts of Iranian oil. Tehran, which was then emerging from sanctions, had no interest in selling more. With a new round of sanctions back in place, Iran may now have greater interest in implementing the terms of the 2014 plan. In March 2018, the Russian and Iranian Agriculture Ministries reached a preliminary agreement for the supply of Russian wheat to the Iranian market. Military-technical cooperation is another promising area of mutually beneficial partnership between the two countries. A Russian military delegation visited Tehran in late December 2018 to discuss pertinent contracts in this area. Furthermore, Russia and Iran are implementing a number of large-scale energy projects, including the construction of the Sirik thermal power station and the electrification of the Garmsar-Inche Burun Railway. Iranian pragmatism in Syria Iran understands that both Russia and Turkey are fair-weather partners in Syria. Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif has repeatedly said they don’t always see eye to eye on the future of Syria. Considering the strong opposition by conservative Iranian forces including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to any change in policy relative to the Syrian crisis, President Rouhani will not only make his voice heard but will also make visible the orientation of Iran’s policy in Syria. Iran’s military presence in Syria alongside the Russian military involvement was justified as a joint Iran-Russia war on terrorism. At the same time, Iran intensified its diplomatic endeavors to end the crisis in Syria. The military retreat of the opposition rebel groups, especially ISIS, at the hand of President Bashar al-Assad’s regime and its backers including Russia, Iran and Hezbollah on the ground during 2015-2017, and the agreement by Russia, Turkey and Iran on December 28, 2016, to begin the Astana peace talks in Kazakhstan, brought new hopes for a solution to the six-year crisis in Syria. The recent and immediate impact of Trump’s categorical pullout from Syria will likely fill the strategic gap for regional countries to get involved. There have recently been efforts by Arab countries to readmit Assad into their orbit of influence. Tehran therefore faces a choice: to complement Arab states’ efforts by seeking multilateral cooperation or to invest directly in Syria. Either way, such moves from the Iranian side for the reconstruction of the Syrian economy would buy influence through aid and investment. Syria is an essential part of Iran’s foreign policy in the Middle East. Tehran initially welcomed the Arab Spring revolutions and regarded them as a new opportunity for Arab countries. But later on, it quickly denounced the Syrian spring when the popular protests hit the Damascus regime. Iran never hesitated to support the Assad regime by all political, military, and economic means available. Iran considers Assad a key ally despite his secular ideology, for his regime centers on his Alawite community, which practices a version of Islam akin to Shiism. President Assad has been Iran’s closest Arab ally, hence cooperation from Syria is key to Iran’s arming and protection of Hezbollah in the region. As a matter of fact, Iran apparently fears that ISIS and other Sunni Islamic extremists will come to power if Assad falls. Iran publicly insists that Assad’s fate should be determined by the Syrian people, but its actions appear designed to keep him in power indefinitely. Iran also seeks to ensure that Sunni extremist groups cannot easily attack Hezbollah in Lebanon from across the Syrian border. Both Iran and Syria have historically used Hezbollah as leverage against Israel to try to achieve regional and territorial aims. US officials and reports assert that Iran is providing substantial amounts of material support to the Syrian regime, including funds, weapons, and IRGC-Quds Force advisers, and recruitment of Hezbollah and other non-Syrian Shiite militia fighters. Iran is estimated to have deployed about 1,300-1,800 IRGC-QF and IRGC ground forces, and even some regular army special forces personnel to Syria, although exact numbers might fluctuate somewhat. More than 1,000 Iranian military personnel have died in Syria, including several high-level IRGC-QF commanders. The deployment of regular army forces in Syria is significant because Iran’s regular military has historically not deployed beyond its own borders. Tehran is publicly committed to finding ways to lessen tensions with its cash-rich Gulf Arab rivals. Iranian-Gulf Arab détente was certainly not President Trump’s intention when he pulled US troops out of Syria. The Iranians do not have the financial capacity to do much in terms of reconstruction in Syria. The Russians and the Turks too have very limited capacity to inject reconstruction funds into Syria. But keeping in view the US military withdrawal creating a power vacuum that will lead to more competition for territorial control and bloodshed is only one side of the coin. Russia and Turkey aside, at least Iran and its Gulf Arab rivals look at this moment as an opportunity to reconstruct Syria as a functional state. In order to make peace flourish, the three self-appointed guarantors of the Syrian peace process, namely Russia, Turkey and Iran, have engaged through joint efforts by the UN to change the composition of a committee to write a new constitution for the country. The 150-strong committee’s work could pave the way for UN-supervised elections and a possible peace process that would encourage millions of refugees to return to their homeland. The agreement on the committee’s formation was formally reached by the three countries in Geneva and the proposals passed to the UN special envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, for his endorsement and consideration by the UN Security Council. The Geneva agreement was signed by Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov, and Iran’s Javad Zarif, underlining how the West has lost control of the Syrian crisis to the trio of countries in the so-called Astana Group. In conclusion, there is no doubt that Iran along with Russia and Turkey is one of the most influential external actor in Syria. It will remain so as long as the war drags on, and it will play an important role in an eventual peace process even in postwar Syria. Iran’s massive investments in Syria have brought important returns, but have also been excessively costly. Its commitment to guarantee the survival of the Assad regime has gradually escalated to a point where Iran’s withdrawal at any point in the next years would create unprecedented challenges for not only Syria but the region at large.

Zombie Mortgages Are "Back" The housing crash and foreclosure crisis news cycle doesn't move as quickly as the typical 24-hour news cycle, but it does have the same effect of burying relevant concerns when a new scandal or lawsuit breaks. Case in point: zombie mortgages. Zombie mortgages are mortgages that are in default, but have yet to enter the foreclosure process. They may also be mortgages that are in the foreclosure process, but stalled due to one of several reasons. Zombie mortgages also include properties where the lender has received its judgment of foreclosure and sale, but then never make it to the auction block. These types of mortgages represent a significant unknown quantity that threatens the recovery of the housing market, and in turn, the recovery of the overall economy. These properties feed directly into the shadow inventory of homes that are in foreclosure or are foreclosed, yet are not on the market. No matter how long lenders wait to leak the empty homes onto an already depressed market, it continues to be a game of extend and pretend rather than a valid solution. The way it looks right now, we won't even hit the bottom of the market until 2014. I don't expect to see a recovery until 2016 at the earliest. Naked Capitalism seems to agree with me on this point. So why are we hearing about zombie mortgages? They're nothing new, and the term was first used as early as December 2010. There could be several reasons. The most likely is that every time a report on the economic recovery is issued, we become aware of the zombie mortgages again. They're the necrotic elephant in the room. For Illinois home owners facing foreclosure, the problem of zombie mortgages can actually be a benefit. As the time-to-foreclosure increases in Cook County and the other Chicago counties, we may see banks more willing to make deals regarding loan modifications and consent foreclosures. Adding a foreclosure defense attorney into the mix can help increase those timeframes, possibly goading a lender into a settlement. In any event, if you see zombie mortgages in the news, it's not because they're new or because we're closing in on Halloween. It's just the news cycle combined with the fact that, like a true zombie apocalypse, there's millions of them.

Police arrested 28 people as a violent clash between followers of two rival schools of thought over the possession of a mosque in Karachi's Mehmoodabad area on Saturday night claimed the life of a young man and resulted in bullet injuries to three others, officials said on Sunday. The mosque was handed over to one of the groups — from the Deobandi school of thought — under the orders of the Sindh High Court in the presence of the court’s nazir, who stayed at the mosque till evening prayers on Saturday to ensure a smooth transition. “The transition occurred smoothly in the day but at night, at around 11pm, around 150-200 men from Sunni Tehreek and Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) attacked the men present inside the mosque,” DIG East Amir Farooqi told Dawn. Both sides resorted to fist fights and attacked each other with sticks, the officer said, adding that "some attackers were armed as well". At least four persons sustained bullet wounds in the clash and were shifted to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) where doctors pronounced one Kashif Hussain, 35, as dead on arrival, officials said. The injured persons who were admitted for treatment have been identified as Yamin Ismail, 30; Adeel Afzal, 30; and Raja M Hafeez, 44. JPMC Director Dr Seemin Jamali said two of the injured persons were shifted to the operation theatre as they sustained abdominal wounds while the third was discharged after being administered first aid on Sunday. Baloch Colony SHO Naveed Soomro, in whose jurisdiction the incident occurred, told Dawn that the dispute between both groups over the possession of the mosque had been going on for more than 30 years. He recalled that the high court had given judgement in favour of the Deobandi group about two to three years ago and on recent directions of the court, the police in presence of the court nazir handed over the possession of the mosque to the said group at around 4pm. The officer said the police have registered two separate First Information Reports (FIR) against the alleged attackers and detained 28 persons. One FIR was registered on behalf of the state through a Baloch Colony police officer on charges of rioting, etc. in which 21 people have been arrested. The second FIR was registered on a complaint of the trustee of the mosque under charges of terror, etc. in which seven suspects have been apprehended. The SHO said the victims belonged to the Barelvi school of thought and the family members of the deceased wanted to lodge a third FIR on charges of murder against the trustees of the mosque. The police were waiting for their relatives to register the case. SHO Soomro said police had reached the site when the firing had already stopped. He said they were trying to determine as to whether the young man died of bullets fired by the attackers or if the persons inside the mosque were also armed. An uneasy calm prevailed in parts of Mehmoodabad following the violent clash. The officer claimed, however, that the situation was under control and no untoward incident was reported on Sunday. The possession of mosques in the metropolis has remained a bone of contention between supposed rival sects, which sometimes takes an ugly turn. Thousands of mosques have also been built on ‘encroached lands’, according to a report by Karachi police.

Within the mail, Batra writes: “That is as regards to the press assertion of Secretary Normal IOA within the month of Could 2019 concerning intention of IOA to most likely not take part in CWG 2022. The problem has additionally been informally mentioned by IOA amongst a few of the colleagues in IOA they usually additionally agree with the views expressed by IOA Secretary Normal (Rajeev Mehta).” Excerpts of letter despatched by IOA to sports activities minister: Earlier, talking to IANS, Nationwide Rifle Affiliation of India (NRAI) secretary Rajiv Bhatia had stated that there was nothing that it might do for the reason that organising committee had taken a closing name on the matter. “We tried out all the things however now that the organising committee have taken a closing name on it, nothing might be achieved. It is over now,” he had stated. It was revealed in June that the Government Board of the CGF had determined to exclude capturing from 2022 Video games to be held in Birmingham. It’s the first time since 1970 that capturing will not be seen on the Commonwealth Video games and solely the second since its first inclusion in 1966. The transfer comes as a blow to India which gained 16 medals, together with seven gold within the occasion on the 2018 CWG at Gold Coast, Australia. NRAI president Raninder Singh had stated in 2018 that it might need the Indian authorities to boycott the 2022 Video games if capturing was dropped from the programme. Heena Sidhu had stated: “I believe it has occurred earlier than. We now have backed out up to now. India is a giant nation and we will throw our weight behind this.”

Go Abroad: Malaysia An update on the School’s recent Go Abroad trip to Malaysia. In January 2019, a group of students from the School of Economics visited Malaysia with the Go Abroad Economics Scheme. As part of their trip they visited many institutions in Kuala Lumpur and had the opportunity to discuss the Malaysian economy with a number of members working in these organisations. Visited institutions included the Central Bank of Malaysia, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, the World Bank (the Asian hub of the Research Group), the Malaysian Board of Palm Oil, the Ministry of Finance, Maybank, the think tank IDEAS and the Delegation of the EU to Malaysia. The group were also fortunate to have tours of Kuala Lumpur and Malacca, and were able to visit the Kanching Waterfalls and the Batu Caves. The Go Abroad scheme is an initiative giving our students the opportunity to experience and learn about economies in a new and exciting way. You can read more about previous trips here. If you’re interested in taking part in the Go Abroad Scheme, contact firstname.lastname@example.org.

Special Care for Occupational and Professional Voice Users Our team of specialists and staff believe that informed patients are better equipped to make decisions regarding their health and well being. For your personal use, we have created an extensive patient library covering an array of educational topics. Browse through these diagnoses and treatments to learn more about topics of interest to you. Or, for a more comprehensive search of our entire Web site, enter your term(s) in the search bar provided. As always, you can contact our office to answer any questions or concerns. Who is an Occupational or Professional Voice User? An occupational or professional voice user is anyone whose voice is essential to their job. We are all accustomed to thinking of singers, actors, actresses, and broadcast personalities as professional voice users. Indeed, special or unique qualities of the voice are often the essential feature of their careers. But what about other occupational voice users? Teachers, clergy, salespeople, courtroom attorneys, telemarketers, and receptionists are also people for whom spoken communication is an essential part of what they do, and there are countless other professions that rely heavily on the voice. In spite of this era of email and Internet communications, we can't really imagine an effective classroom, pulpit, or courtroom without voice. Can you imagine the difficulties of a physician conveying sensitive or complex information to a patient or colleague, or a business executive conducting a meeting without voice? Once you pause to consider a world without voice communications, you realize that voice is crucial to many professions. Why is the Voice Important? Voice is something that is often taken for granted. Many people, including many occupational voice users, don't pay attention to their voice until they develop a significant problem with it. These voice problems then have an adverse effect upon their ability to do their job. Consider, for example, a school teacher. Arguably, this is the most vocally demanding profession. Teachers are using their voices constantly, often in noisy rooms with poor acoustics. One recent 2004 research article found that 11 percent of teachers participating in the study reported a current voice problem. Non-teachers expressing voice problems comprised only 6.2 percent of the participants. A similar ratio was evident when participants were asked about ever having a voice disorder in their lifetime. Teachers reported an incidence of 57.7 percent, while non-teachers reported a 28.8 percent incident rate. In another study, about 20 percent of teachers had missed work due to their voice, while only 4 percent of non-teachers had missed a day due a voice related ailment. It is thus very clear from the medical literature that high voice demands in the workplace can have health consequences for the individual, and productivity consequences for the employer. Research is ongoing into strategies to enhance the vocal health of individuals in professions with high voice demands. What can be done about these issues? As with many ailments, awareness is key. First, people must be made aware of voice-related occupations. A person may not know that they are in such a profession until a voice problem brings the issue to the forefront. Secondly, one needs to be aware that high voice demand occupations do place you at greater risk for developing vocal difficulties, and that you have to listen to your own voice in order to recognize when you are developing problems. Do not accept hoarseness as part of the job. Be aware that there are steps you can take to help prevent voice problems. (For more information, see Maintaining a Healthy Voice Fact Sheet.) Finally, know that proper evaluation and treatment can take care of most voice-related problems, and can set you up to succeed at even the most demanding voice-related occupation. If you listen to your voice and find that it is complaining to you, seek out your local Otolaryngologist (Ear, Nose and Throat Doctor) for an evaluation and treatment recommendations.

June and Erik Ronneberg Year Purchased: 2018 About the owner: Grandparents of 12 -- looking forward to our retirement years. Why this property? We bought this property in Nov 2018 because it had already gone through some updating and just needed a bit more to meet the standards that we expect when we travel. Our goal was to create a vacation home for families to enjoy while visiting the Orlando area. We wanted to make updates that would earn us five-star reviews and we've done just that. Our townhome is just down the street from the wonderful Windsor Hills Resort community center -- our guests have repeatedly given us glowing reviews of our home, the resort, and all the amenities. Guestbook comments from the owner: We really enjoyed staying at this house. Very clean, very good located, fully equipped. Everything we need: beach towels, soap, coffee, toys for the pool, and a stroller!!! We are a family of 6 (2 adults and 4 kids) and we felt very comfortable staying there. The amenities were perfect! The water park incredible!!! And the lounge area ver y pleasant! I really recommend this house to everybody! We will definitely visit the house again! Thank you so much!!! This townhome looked exactly like the pictures. The pool area was clean and included toys/floaties. If you have multiple cars the overflow parking is directly behind your townhome allowing you to enter from the pool/backdoor. Having "Alexa" in the home is the cherry on top. We will rent this home for our next trip to Disney. *Pro-tip* avoid Wal-Mart that is a block away, it is always packed but Super Target is located less than a mile away and is not as busy and has great produce. The property is very stylish and modern with lots of handy gadgets such as Amazon dots, ps4 pro, large TVs and fast wifi. The location is great for getting in and out of Disney and there is Walmart nearby. June and Erik are excellent owners, responding to all of our questions quickly. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again. This home is exactly as described and the hosts are awesome! We had a very enjoyable stay there was plenty of room and so convenient as every bedroom had their own bathroom. I highly recommend this home and will stay here again! Town home was gorgeous and spacious. Property owners thought of convenient aspects of property such as iphone charging stations in each bedroom, Alexa's in each bedroom, playstation in kids room. Place was very clean and updated. Would be our #1 pick if we come again. Frequently Asked Questions How close is the townhome to the Windsor Hills Resort pool and water park? A very short 4-minute walk up the street. How far is your vacation rental from Disney's Magic Kingdom? We are one of closest to the Disney Parks! It's just a 5-10 minute drive to the Magic Kingdom! Do you have a private pool? And if so, is it heated? Yes, indeed, we have a private pool in the screened in lanai off of the main living area. Our guests can elect to have the pool heated in the cooler months of the year for $15 per day plus taxes.

Heeeey. I’m back. But only for a little bit. Because it’s late. SSSSOOOO. My teacher is the same as last year’s… But since he is the headteacher right now, he has a teaching partner. Good thing, he is there 3 days a week, and she is there 2 days a week. It’s good because I am better with people I know already… If I never seen them before, I most likely would refuse to communicate with them. I have a Student Council Letter to hand in… tomorrow. Yay, work. And I will have more from this point on. Argh!! Okay, I need to go now… Until next time!!! [EDIT]: This is the 300th published post!!! Yaaaaaay!!! … That’s it… Yeaah.

The wartime 'escape' pattern flying boot. Approximately size 6 or 7. The suede uppers are in good condition with only light rubbing and soiling. Good straps/buckles. Both Air Ministry marked zips look good but unfortunately the one in the right boot doesn't mesh and cannot be fastened. The shoe sections are sound but somewhat scuffed and would certainly benefit from a good polish. Both soles and heels are original but with heavy wear, notably at the toe of the left boot - see photographs. The fur linings are grubby but in good overall condition. No insoles fitted. Not great but they do display quite well and the faulty zip could be replaced. Stock code B20671. Fill in this form to email this item to a friend Fill in this form to send us your enquiry

DUDE.... I eat lots of peanut butter. Rarely do I eat Hippie Steaks (aka PB&J). This instructable is more of a guide on how to make THE BEST PEANUT BUTTER IN THE WORLD. The "pizza" is one of a few ways I munch on peanut butter. I also spread it in pita bread and jam some sliced banana in with it or I just eat it plain. * This "recipe" is fast and off the hip! The ingredients are "measured" to taste and change with each brand. Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom? Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson. Step 1: Ingredients 1. crunchy peanut butter. 4. granola....this happens to be a local honey almond flavor. 5. pita bread. Step 2: Store Brand Crunchy Peanut Butter Using an old peanut butter jar, put a couple big scoops of your store brand peanut better in. *I use a old peanut butter jar because the mouth is wide and MUCH easier to mix in. Step 3: Raisins Drop a good handful of raisins in there....don't be shy! Step 4: Granola Add your granola. Use a bit less as you did raisins because this will dry out your finish product. Step 5: Honey Add honey to taste but too much honey gets runny and it's not funny! The idea is to add moisture back over the dry granola. Step 6: Mix It Up With one hand get a good grip on the jar. Using a butter knife, in the other hand, get in to the bottom and mix thoroughly. Once you have it mixed, give it a taste. Add to it to get the desired taste you like. I have been known to add a multitude of other items. Such as sunflower seeds, almonds, chocolate chips, coco mix, smashed candy bars..................the possibilities are endless! Step 7: The "pizza" Cut up pita bread into slices. Give a dab of your peanut butter to each slice. Put on a plate and serve.

Cape Town - The government has confirmed that the Presidency was in consultation with the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu) and the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) for President Cyril Ramaphosa to visit Marikana. This follows a promise by Ramaphosa to Parliament a few months ago he wanted to visit Marikana and he was talking to EFF leader Julius Malema. Ramaphosa has in the past been criticised for what happened in Marikana. The Government Communication Information System said on Friday that efforts have been made to pay some of the families and houses being built for the affected families. “The presidency is finalising consultations with all stakeholders including Amcu and NUM on an appropriate time and date for President Ramaphosa to visit Marikana to assess the implementation of the recommendations of the Marikana commission of inquiry,” said GCIS. Judge Ian Farlam was appointed by then President Jacob Zuma to head a commission of inquiry into the Marikana tragedy. The commission submitted its report in 2015 with recommendations on action to be taken. GCIS further said the government has implemented some of the recommendations of the Farlam commission. This includes the training of police officers in crowd control. “A total of 3 825 members from Public Order Policing have participated in basic training in crowd management. We have in recent times witnessed SAPS’s ability to effectively manage crowds in the interest of maintaining law and order during protests around the country,” said GCIS. It added that criminal cases related to Marikana were now being prosecuted by the courts. The government has also spent a lot of money to build houses for the affected families. “The Department of Human Settlements launched a R700 million housing project for Marikana and to date 544 housing units have been completed. For the 2018/19 financial year the department of human settlements has focused interventions towards informal settlement upgrading, land use management, extension and sharing of bulk infrastructure to support basic service provision, increasing home ownership and rental housing opportunities,” GCIS said.

We’re thrilled to finally introduce Continent Race by Byron’s Games to the world. When Byron was just 6 years old, he came up with the game Continent Race during a month-long hospital stay for a ruptured appendix. It was a traumatic and scary time for Byron, and Continent Race was his way to have a little fun while also learning. Byron and his mom, Julie, have been working on the game ever since, and they are thrilled to share it with the Kickstarter community today. A GAME THAT GIVES BACK When you back our Kickstarter today, you can choose to “give one” (or more) copies of Continent Race to a hospital or to “get one” and receive your own copy of Continent Race to enjoy. Or you can choose to give one AND get one! Our goal is to help entertain, enlighten, and engage as many children as possible, and the give one, get one program is our way of doing just that. Check out NBC Chicago's full story on Byron and Continent Race: "Boy's Passion for National Flags Helps Sick Kids in Hospital" https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/boy-hospital-geography-game-learn-get-well-lurie-children-391807721.html 1 world map • 5 continent boards • 208 playing cards HOW TO PLAY The object of the game is to be the player to collect the most country cards from each continent first. Each continent is represented by a different color, so it’s easy to get the hang of the game. -Designed for 2 or more players -Ages 7 and up -Each player starts the game with 7 cards -There are two levels of gameplay: beginner and advanced. -At the beginner level the goal is to collect country cards for 3 continents. -At the advanced level, the goal is to collect country cards for 5 continents. -On each turn, a player selects a new card from the draw pile and discards one of the cards in their hand. Announce the country and continent as cards are discarded so everyone is learning. -Once a continent group is completed, the player must put that group face up on the table. -Use the maps as references so you can see exactly what countries you still need to collect and where they are located. -Shuffle the orange mystery cards into the deck for an even bigger challenge UNBOXING & HOW TO PLAY VIDEO The 2016 Summer Olympic Games were going on when Byron was in the hospital. During his stay, his mom and one of the hospital's lead facilitators, Mrs. Ellen Donovan "Ms. Ellen," at Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, passed the time by keeping track of each country’s medals during the Games. What started as a distraction quickly grew into a fun, hopeful activity that Byron looked forward to as he recovered. After the games ended, Ms. Ellen challenged Byron to keep the fun going by creating a game based on all the flags he had seen during the Olympics. Byron met her challenge head on, giving himself purpose. He was excited to create a game to help kids learn and have fun while they recovered. And thus, Continent Race was born! This is only the first game in the Byron’s Games family. We have big plans for the future. Next up is a geography puzzle app for kids. COMING SOON, CONTINENT RACE APP! LEARN AND EXPLORE Video Series for Kids in Hospitals We’re also launching an educational interview series, the Byron’s Games “Learn and Explore” show, where Byron chats with interesting kids and adults who are doing great things in the world. We’re donating these videos to the hospital where Byron was treated and to other hospitals around the country, so kids can learn something and be entertained while they recover. As you can see, we have big plans for Byron’s Games and can’t thank you enough for supporting us as we get started. BENEFITS OF THE GAME Play and learn together with a group of 2 or more for a fun time of laughter and learning. Based on the world’s countries, everyone will learn and work towards goals while engaging in focused play. It’s great for the classroom and fun to play at home. Help fellow players identify mystery continents, engage in challenges, and race to the finish in a fun competition that develops problem solving skills along the way. Because it’s so much fun and children learn more each time they play, Continent Race helps boost confidence, smile after smile. Each copy of Continent Race will include: You can Give One, Get One, or Give One & Get One! OUR ROLLOUT PLAN For the first phase, we have identified 50 hospitals that we plan to send games to first.

In a published opinion issued February 16, 2017, the Fifth Circuit rejected arguments that would have expanded the scope of liability under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA), 15 U.S.C. § 1691 et seq., for lenders, or other participants, in the secondary mortgage market. The case is Alexander v. AmeriPro Funding, Inc., ___ F.3d ___, No 15-20710, 2017 WL 650193 (5th Cir. Feb. 16, 2017). The appeal was from the dismissal of all of the plaintiffs’ claims under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) for failure to state a claim. As relevant here, the ECOA makes it unlawful “for any creditor to discriminate against any applicant, with respect to any aspect of a credit transaction ... because all or part of the applicant’s income derives from any public assistance program.” 15 U.S.C. § 1691(a)(2). The Court held that to state a claim under the ECOA, the plaintiffs must plausibly allege that (1) each plaintiff was an “applicant”; (2) the defendant was a “creditor”; and (3) the defendant discriminated against the plaintiff with respect to any aspect of a credit transaction on the basis of the plaintiff’s membership in a protected class. 2017 WL 650193, at *5. Twelve individual plaintiffs alleged Wells Fargo was engaged in the business of investing in or buying mortgages originated by other financial institutions, including AmeriPro. AmeriPro, as an originator, interacted with borrowers and made credit decisions on loan applications. Plaintiffs alleged Wells Fargo, as a purchaser and investor in mortgages, promulgated guidelines for its secondary-market mortgage purchases, stating that it would only buy mortgages that are not based on Section 8 income (which is a public assistance program). The plaintiffs sued both AmeriPro and Wells Fargo claiming that each discriminated against them in violation of the ECOA on the basis of their receipt of public assistance income. The Court’s treatment of the allegations of one group of plaintiffs—called the “AmeriPro Applicants” in the opinion—is significant. The AmeriPro Applicants alleged: (1) they applied for loans with AmeriPro, (2) AmeriPro processed their applications with the intention of selling their loans to Wells Fargo, (3) AmeriPro processed their applications using Wells Fargo’s lending guidelines under which their Section 8 income allegedly was not included for consideration, and (4) as a result of their Section 8 income not being considered, they received loans on less favorable terms or in a lesser amount. The Court held the AmeriPro Applicants stated a sufficient claim under the ECOA against AmeriPro—that they alleged facts, taken together, which were sufficient plausibly to show that they applied for a mortgage with AmeriPro, that AmeriPro refused to consider their Section 8 income in assessing their creditworthiness, and that, as a result, they received mortgage loans on less favorable terms and in lesser amounts than they would have received had their Section 8 income been considered. Regarding Wells Fargo, the Court reached a different conclusion. The Court summarized the AmeriPro Applicants’ argument: |since Wells Fargo’s secondary-market policy of refusing to purchase mortgages that rely on Section 8 income determined AmeriPro’s primary-market policy of discriminating against applicants with Section 8 income, Wells Fargo should also be liable for violating the ECOA. 2017 WL 650193, at *9 (emphasis in original). The Court determined the principal issue for this claim was whether Wells Fargo was a “creditor” as to the AmeriPro Applicants. “Creditor” is defined in the statute as “any person who regularly extends, renews, or continues credit; any person who regularly arranges for the extension, renewal, or continuation of credit; or any assignee of an original creditor who participates in the decision to extend, renew, or continue credit.” 15 U.S.C. § 1691a(e). Because the AmeriPro Applicants did not apply for credit directly or indirectly from Wells Fargo, the Court determined that Wells Fargo could be liable as a creditor as to the AmeriPro Applicants only if it was an “assignee of an original creditor who participates in the decision to extend, renew, or continue credit” under 15 U.S.C. § 1691a(e). 2017 WL 650193, at *9. The Court concluded the AmeriPro Applicants failed to plausibly allege Wells Fargo “participate[d]” in the decision to extend credit and, therefore, failed to state a claim. Id. Significantly, the Court rejected the argument that Wells Fargo could be liable because it “had a policy in the secondary market of not purchasing mortgages that were originated by someone else in the primary market based on Section 8 income.” 2017 WL 650193, at *9. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) supported plaintiffs as amicus and argued the ECOA’s and Regulation B’s definitions of “creditor” were broad enough to encompass Wells Fargo’s conduct. The CFPB relied on two regulatory provisions defining the term—12 C.F.R. § 202.2(l) (“Creditor means a person who, in the ordinary course of business, regularly participates in a credit decision, including setting the terms of the credit. The term creditor includes a creditor’s assignee, transferee, or subrogee who so participates.”); and 12 C.F.R. Pt. 1002, Supp. I ¶ 1002.2(l)(1), 76 Fed. Reg. 79,442, 79,473 (2011) (“The term creditor includes all persons participating in the credit decision. This may include an assignee or a potential purchaser of the obligation who influences the credit decision by indicating whether or not it will purchase the obligation if the transaction is consummated.”). The Court rejected inclusion within the definition of “creditor” “those who have no direct involvement whatsoever in an individual credit decision.” 2017 WL 650193, at *10. Thus, the Court rejected “the broad expansion of ECOA liability urged by the AmeriPro Applicants and the amicus CFPB to include the conduct of Wells Fargo in the secondary market.” Id. In summary, the Court’s opinion explicitly limits liability for financial institutions purchasing mortgages in the secondary market unless those institutions participated in the originating lender’s decision with respect to the loan application at issue. Based on the Court’s opinion, merely promulgating lending guidelines regarding what mortgages a financial institution will purchase in the secondary market, alone, does not rise to the level of participation to permit a borrower to state a plausible claim for violation of the ECOA against the institution in the secondary market.

Part 4 - Assignment of Responsibility for Information Security A key principle of any information security management system (ISMS) is the assigning of responsibility for tasks associated with information security. Throughout any ISMS there will be tasks that need to be carried out to ensure that the systems are well managed, are effective and that there is appropriate protection against the loss of availability, confidentiality and integrity of the information. Therefore, you need to have a philosophy of holding people responsible for undertaking their tasks. This responsibility goes hand-in-hand with two important aspects: - Accountability. If those tasks aren’t performed by the responsible person(s) then they are held accountable for not following process. - Authority. Each of the tasks will have an associated authority to have the power or right to; - give orders, - make decisions, and - enforce compliance. So in developing your ISMS you need to have clear instructions on who does what, who has responsibility for each task, how accountability is delivered and what authority people have when they follow the ISMS. This doesn’t only apply to employees - it applies to Management as well. Because Management is responsible for creating, designing, implementing and maintaining processes, then they too should be held accountable if those processes fail. One of the easiest ways to define responsibility is to document these in policies, procedures, work instructions or position descriptions. I have always found that position descriptions (PD) are the best way of summarising peoples’ responsibilities for tasks. PDs can summarise lots of documents down to a single, easy-to-understand summary. Staff can then just refer to their PD and instantly understand your organisation’s requirements for information security. In the past, most position descriptions were created when someone started in a job and after that were never referred to again. They may have been looked at for a performance review. They may have been referred to during some disciplinary activity. Sometimes a Manager may have taken a cursory glance at the PD (that’s if they can find it) and then perhaps take a moment or two to see if the document is up-to-date. And in general, that’s about it. But my belief is that a PD is a central part of your ISMS. They define what your employees do, how they do it, and who they do it with. PDs are where authority and responsibility are clearly laid out. And because responsibilities, skill-sets, technology, and organisational structure are prone to change, PDs should be regarded as important, living documents. They need to be constantly updated (maybe quarterly) to ensure that the latest technologies and are changes are taken into account. All changes should be clearly communicated to staff to ensure that they are always fully aware of what’s what. For example, here at Mango each of our staff has a PD. The PD refers to their responsibilities for information security in an Appendix. The Appendix summarises in tabular form their responsibilities for information security. These appendices are then recorded into Mango and staff sign-off (electronically) and acknowledge that they have read and understood their responsibilities. Making sure people are held responsible for their tasks and actions is a key principle to keep in mind for your ISMS. It's something that you must constantly be alert for. This is particularly important for teams. If everyone is responsible then no one is responsible. People can hide in teams. You need to be "on-your-toes" to ensure that responsibility is well managed.

At our conference last week, we used Sli.do instead of a more traditional Q&A session after each panel. Our hope was to encourage a more active and engaging dialogue between the audience and panelists. It was a huge success. The audience submitted questions via Sli.do on their phones/laptops, and the stream of questions was projected onto a screen for the speakers to see in real-time. The audience could upvote their favorite questions, which would then make their way to the top of the stream as they garnered more likes. The Sli.do questions sparked lively debate! Certain comments by the speakers generated a flurry of Sli.do question submissions, and it was amazing to see the audience's reactions in real-time. There were 207 active users. Attendees asked 296 questions which got 1447 likes. 92% of questions were asked anonymously. Below is the archive of all questions submitted, organized by number of likes with the most popular question at top. Some get pretty spicy!

A note from Founder Holly Harding, INHC, AADP It is my belief that beauty starts from within. When you eat nutrient rich, unprocessed and unrefined foods from nature that are right for your individual body, your digestive system can repair and/or function at its highest capability.

Your skin will glow, your eyes will brighten and your under-eye circles and puffiness will start to dissipate. The combination of diet, supplementation and highly functional skincare is the key to beautiful, glowing, ageless skin. Holly Harding, AADP, INHC has studied over 100 dietary theories with the country’s top experts in holistic health and nutrition.

OPENING THIS WEEK LEAVING HOME, COMING HOME: A PORTRAIT OF ROBERT FRANK This documentary — completed in 2004 but never released in its entirety until now — explores the life and career of influential 20th-century photographer and filmmaker Robert Frank. The film follows him as he traverses New York City, reflecting on his childhood, places he lived, and locations he photographed. He discusses what he sees as a city in decline, and describes high points of his career, such as the book The Americans and his collaborations with artists like the Rolling Stones. Not rated. 85 minutes. Center for Contemporary Arts. (Not reviewed) THE PRICE OF EVERYTHING Featuring a wide array of artists — including Amy Cappellazzo, Gerhard Richter, Jeff Koons, and Santa Fe’s Dennis Yares — this documentary explores the art market in modern times. Director Nathaniel Kahn takes viewers through the contemporary art world, where everything can be sold for the right price, and examines how we put a dollar amount on human expression. Not rated. 98 minutes. The Screen. (Not reviewed) TOO LATE TO DIE YOUNG Chilean director Dominga Sotomayor Castillo offers a partially biographical film in the mold of Roma with this snapshot of her childhood in the 1990s, when her country evolved from dictatorship to democracy. Worried about the chaos in the city, the family moves to an off-the-grid community in the country. From there, the story follows three teenagers — Sofía (Demian Hernández), Lucas (Antar Machado), and Clara (Magdalena Tótoro) — as they navigate adolescence, budding romance, and concern for their loved ones, in the build-up to a New Year’s Eve celebration. Not rated. 110 minutes. In Spanish with subtitles. Violet Crown. (Not reviewed) THE THIRD WIFE This debut feature by Ash Mayfair is a story about female subjugation, set in 19th-century Vietnam, centering on a teenage girl named May (Nguyen Phuong Tra My) who becomes the third wife of a wealthy landowner (Le Vu Long) in a rural area. She navigates her relationships with the other two wives (Tran Nu Yên-Khê and Mai Thu Huong Maya), knowing that the one to provide him with sons will be the one he favors. Rated R. 96 minutes. In Vietnamese with subtitles. Jean Cocteau Cinema. (Not reviewed) NOW IN THEATERS 2 chiles - ALADDIN Disney’s live-action take on its own 1992 cartoon has a bit of everything — music, romance, adventure, and comedy — except a genuine spark of life, perhaps by nature of being a close remake of a well-known film. The story centers on Aladdin (Mena Massoud), a street urchin who finds a magic lamp containing a genie (Will Smith) and meets the princess Jasmine (Naomi Scott). They fall for each other, but Jasmine must marry a prince by law; meanwhile, Jafar (Marwan Kenzari), the royal vizier, schemes to land Jasmine and the kingdom for himself. Director Guy Ritchie seems to struggle with the musical scenes, but the film’s biggest problem is that it looks cheap for something so expensive, resembling a Disneyland attraction based on a movie more than it does an actual movie. Rated PG. 128 minutes. Screens in 2D only at Regal Santa Fe 6, Regal Stadium 14, and Violet Crown. (Robert Ker) 3 chiles - ALL IS TRUE With some movies, it’s best not to allow worries over historical accuracy to derail our enjoyment. And there’s plenty to enjoy in All Is True, Kenneth Branagh’s fondly poignant look at William Shakespeare’s final years. Not much is known about that time, after the playwright’s beloved Globe Theatre burned to the ground in 1613 and he returned to his family home in Stratford-upon-Avon. Reconnecting with his neglected wife (Judi Dench) and two variously troubled daughters (Kathryn Wilder and Lydia Wilson) is challenging, to say the least. But if Ben Elton’s screenplay benefits from factual fudging and dramatic imaginings, I’m content in the knowledge that Branagh — who stars as well as directs and whose devotion to Shakespeare is unarguable — was the one to approve them. The result is more country soap than biopic, a slow and soothing tale of family secrets and festering resentments. Rated PG-13. 101 minutes. The Screen. (Jeannette Catsoulis/The New York Times) ANNABELLE COMES HOME This new film in the Conjuring franchise — the third to center on the haunted doll named Annabelle — harks back to elements hinted about in the franchise’s debut. Demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) bring the doll back to their home and lock it up in a room full of spooky artifacts, as seen in the first Conjuring film. What isn’t seen in that movie but revealed here, however, is that one night, Annabelle unleashes all the evil spirits in the room, with her sights set on the Warren’s daughter (Mckenna Grace). Rated R. 106 minutes. Regal Santa Fe 6, Regal Stadium 14, and Violet Crown. (Not reviewed) 3 chiles - AVENGERS: ENDGAME Less a movie and more of a victory lap combined with a curtain call, this epic adventure serves as a sequel to 2018’s superior Avengers: Infinity War and a capper to more than 10 years of Marvel movies. In this climactic installment, an array of superheroes — but primarily Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) — square off against the villain Thanos (Josh Brolin), who had wiped out half of all living creatures in the universe in Infinity War. The final hour delivers all that fans could ask, but any non-fans remaining in the universe are better off watching literally anything else. Unfortunately, the film’s first hour is rather dreary and meanders for too long, and the middle third is weighed down by a time-travel subplot — never a good sign. It returns to theaters with extra post-credits scenes. Rated PG-13. 181 minutes. Screens in 2D only at Regal Stadium 14. (Robert Ker) 2.5 chiles -THE BIGGEST LITTLE FARM Despite its gorgeous nature photography, director John Chester’s autobiographical account of his and his wife Molly’s life-changing move from city to country life, to make a go at sustainable farming, feels a bit like an overlong promotional video. The Chesters leave their lives in Los Angeles behind to found Apricot Lane Farms in Moorpark, California, with the help of a farm expert. Using an experimental biodiversity model based on biomimicry, they successfully rejuvenate land not suited to farming. The film hits its stride when it explores the hardships they encounter, and in its tender treatment of human and animal relationships. But trying to sell audiences on the methods that worked for them undercuts the value of their message about sustainability and reduced carbon footprints. A director not so close to the project could have given the film a more balanced treatment. Rated PG. 91 minutes. Center for Contemporary Arts. (Michael Abatemarco) Chucky the murderous doll is back to terrorize toy aisles in the reboot of this long-running horror franchise. Aubrey Plaza plays Karen, who buys her son (Gabriel Bateman) a Chucky doll, unaware that it’s capable of coming to life and causing havoc. She discovers her mistake when he goes on a killing spree, this time using his wifi connection to control electronic devices nearby. Mark Hamill provides the voice for Chucky, who has never been shy about cracking a joke. Rated R. 90 minutes. Regal Santa Fe 6 and Regal Stadium 14. (Not reviewed) 3.5 chiles - CLARENCE CLEMONS: WHO DO I THINK I AM? Director Nick Mead’s documentary on Bruce Springsteen’s longtime saxophonist, Clarence Clemons, is a poignant, reflective, and heart-driven story that goes way beyond the music. In self-reflective passages culled from past interviews with the musician, Clemons comes across as a man driven by a search for truth and meaning. He touched the lives of millions of fans but, despite his fame, he felt something was missing: a certain freedom, and a sense of solitude that wasn’t the same as being lonely. Through numerous interviews with fellow E Street Band members, other musicians, relatives, and friends, Mead creates a portrait of an artist who left a lasting legacy. Onstage, he was larger than life. Offstage, he was introspective. The centerpiece of the film is a life-changing trip that Clemons took to China in 2003. It was a place where no one knew him and he could, at last, just be himself. Clarence Clemons: Who Do You Think I Am? is a fitting tribute to a man born to greatness but who sought something more, finding it in the most humblest of people and places. Not rated. 88 minutes. Jean Cocteau Cinema. (Michael Abatemarco) 2 chiles - GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS Despite featuring two of cinema’s biggest stars (literally), Warner Bros.’ budding MonsterVerse — a franchise built around the characters of Godzilla and King Kong — hasn’t gotten a lot of fanfare. This, despite the fact that 2014’s Godzilla, a reboot of the classic monster story, earned nearly $530 million at the box office and was generally well received, save for some quibbles about the human story. Five years later, you might expect the sequel, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, to have addressed those concerns. Does it come out roaring — a balanced mix of fire-breathing action and story that moves you, efficiently, from one kaiju bout to the next? Unfortunately, Monsters tries a little too hard to correct course from what some saw as its predecessor’s flaws. The movie does not roar, but rather emits only a serviceable yelp. Rated PG-13. 131 minutes. Screens in 2D only at Regal Stadium 14. (Hau Chu/The Washington Post) 3.5 chiles -JOHN WICK 3: CHAPTER 3 — PARABELLUM Those who are tired of resorting to superhero movies for their cinematic action have found refuge in the R-rated violence of Keanu Reeves’ fitted-suit-wearing hitman John Wick — even if Wick himself disposes of enemies with ease and seems as indestructible as a superhero. While these films’ action scenes are expertly staged, inventive, and sprinkled with humor and gore, their pleasures also involve watching the world’s mythology gradually expand. In this installment, Wick finds himself with a $14 million bounty on his head after killing a member of a powerful assassin’s guild in the last film, and he must fight his way out of New York City as chaos rains down around him. Cast members Halle Berry, Ian McShane, Anjelica Huston, and Laurence Fishburne all take juicy bites out of their supporting roles, while Asia Kate Dillon emerges as an enticing new villain. Rated R. 130 minutes. Regal Stadium 14. (Robert Ker) 3.5 chiles - THE LAST BLACK MAN IN SAN FRANCISCO The house is a Victorian gingerbread fantasy, tall and narrow, with a rickety elegance and the aura of another time and perhaps another reality. We learn that it’s the ancestral San Francisco home of Jimmie Fails (played by Jimmie Fails, who also gets story credit), a displaced young man whose grandfather, he tells us, built it. Jimmie grew up there, but the Fails family lost it, and now he dreams of reclaiming his family birthright. And when the people living there suddenly leave it empty, he and his best friend Mont (Jonathan Majors) move in. The movie is about yearning, about wanting something so badly that it takes on a reality of its own, and about the transition of a city rapidly losing its middle class and in danger of losing its fabled heart. Jimmie and Mont are sweet souls who don’t really fit in anywhere. It’s a remarkable second feature for director Joe Talbot. There are a few awkward moments, but by and large it all works. The deeply satisfying performances by Fails and Majors keep the story finely tuned, and that wonderful house looms up to represent an idea worth saving. Rated R. 121 minutes. Violet Crown. (Jonathan Richards) 3 chiles - LATE NIGHT Katherine Newberry (Emma Thompson) has been hosting a late night TV show since about the time Johnny Carson’s retirement launched the talk show wars in 1992. The late night slot has never been a welcoming ground for women. No wonder Newberry is a bit prickly. And maybe a bit tired of the whole thing. But when her new network boss (Amy Ryan) tells her this season will be her last, Katherine digs in. One of her show’s problems is lack of diversity, with no female writers. So she orders her producer (Dennis O’Hare) to find one. The hire turns out to be Indian American Molly Patel (Mindy Kaling, who wrote the screenplay), thus breaking the gender and color barrier in one stroke. The story is predictable, but also sharp and witty; director Nisha Ganatra keeps it rolling. But the queen of Late Night is Thompson, whose impeccable timing and wit make you wonder why she hasn’t been dominating the late night talk show scene for decades. Rated R. 102 minutes. Violet Crown. MEN IN BLACK: INTERNATIONAL In this resuscitation of the Men in Black franchise, which began in 1997 and continued through two sequels, Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth play two agents of the same top-secret, alien-tracking organization that the characters embodied by Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones belonged to. Operating out of a London branch under the supervision of High T (Liam Neeson), the agents travel the world, cracking jokes and preventing alien attacks. Emma Thompson also stars. Rated PG-13. 115 minutes. Screens in 2D only at Regal Santa Fe 6, Regal Stadium 14, and Violet Crown. (Not reviewed) 3.5 chiles - MIDSOMMAR In what will likely be the strangest film to pull in a box-office haul this year, writer and director (and former College of Santa Fe film student) Ari Aster follows 2018’s Hereditary with this pagan horror fable. It centers on a young couple (Florence Pugh and Jack Reynor) who, along with a handful of friends, travel to Sweden to take part in a commune’s summer solstice festival, which happens once every 90 years. Once there, they slowly learn that the festival involves rituals that are bizarre and violent — and that they are part of the ceremony. Aster’s script runs long, and the themes of grief and trauma hew too close to his work in Hereditary, but his gifts as a visual stylist and storyteller are exceptional. Ushered along by a haunting score by The Haxan Cloak, Midsommar unfurls slowly and stretches in surreal directions, evoking the psychedelic drugs that the characters take throughout. It’s a trip. Rated R. 140 minutes. Regal Stadium 14 and Violet Crown. (Robert Ker) 3 chiles - PAVAROTTI When Luciano Pavarotti died of pancreatic cancer in 2007, many opera lovers had mixed feelings. The tenor was only 71 and it hadn’t been so long since he was the reigning star of his generation, still giving magnificent performances of his core repertoire into the 1990s. And he had always seemed to have a great lust for life, happy to indulge his love of food and, when he wanted to, his love of people, crowds, and all the adulation that came with being the most celebrated tenor since Caruso. The best thing about Ron Howard’s polished new documentary is its compassion for the man, who emerges frail but not hollow, merely human and not the pathetic clown he so often seemed in his last decade. Using previously unseen video clips made by Pavarotti’s second wife, Nicoletta, and interviews with his first wife and their adult daughters, Howard encourages viewers to give Pavarotti the benefit of the doubt when it comes to his love life. It was always messy, as his first wife knew, and yet she seems to have forgiven him. Despite omissions, Pavarotti is still an occasion for reflection, and the picture it presents of the tenor is sufficiently rounded that those new to his artistry will likely be beguiled. Rated PG-13. 114 minutes. Center for Contemporary Arts. (Philip Kennicott/The Washington Post) 3 chiles - ROCKETMAN This biopic of Elton John (played by Taron Egerton) follows shortly on the heels of 2018’s Bohemian Rhapsody, to which it has been extensively compared. Whether centering on Elton John or Freddie Mercury, both movies are crowd-pleasers that follow similar arcs: a musical genius rises to global popularity, attaches himself to a predatory manager, struggles with homosexuality in the public eye, isolates himself at the peak of fame, and finds redemption in part through realizing the importance of his writing partners. Bohemian Rhapsody was a clunky movie elevated by Rami Malek’s portrayal of Mercury, while Rocketman is a lively film that succeeds in spite of Egerton’s unconvincing take on Sir Elton. Neither film follows their subject’s biographies literally, but Rocketman leans into the fiction more, embracing the camp and blossoming into an outright musical, with characters often breaking into song and dance. If you love these songs, then you’ll adore those moments — and who doesn’t love these songs? Rated R. 121 minutes. Regal Stadium 14 and Violet Crown. (Robert Ker) 2.5 chiles - THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS 2 Picking up where the original 2016 film left off, this sequel centers on a terrier named Max (Patton Oswalt, doing replacement voice duty after Louis C.K. was dropped). Max is still living happily in New York City with his owner, Katie (Ellie Kemper). But suddenly, everything changes: Katie gets married and has a baby. The baby becomes a toddler, and Max feels he must protect the child from everything. On a trip to the country, Max meets Rooster (Harrison Ford), a cattle dog who disdains him. Oswalt’s voice work is outstanding and most of the movie’s jokes land solidly, but it feels less like a compelling, full-length feature than like three decent short films, each of which is only vaguely related to the other, and all of which exist merely to get from one joke to the next.Rated PG. 86 minutes. Screens in 2D at Regal Santa Fe 6 and Regal Stadium 14.(Kristen Page-Kirby/The Washington Post) Multiple generations of Shafts team up in this action-comedy, including the original Shaft (Richard Roundtree, from the 1971 film), his son (Samuel L. Jackson, from the 2000 film), and grandson (Jessie Usher). When a friend of the youngest is mysteriously killed, he recruits his dad and grandfather to help him get to the bottom of it. The two old-timers proceed to enjoy many jokes at the young whippersnapper’s expense. Rated R. 105 minutes. Regal Stadium 14. (Not reviewed) 2.5 chiles -SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME After Iron Man (spoiler alert!) died at the end of Avengers: Endgame, Marvel Studios had a massive void to fill, and did so by making Spider-Man (Tom Holland) into Iron Man, with all of the technology, global threats, and relationships with Stark Industries’ Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau) and S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Nick Fury (Samuel Jackson) that such a distinction implies. In the process, the film strays too far from the web-slinging, New York-living, Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, ending up in a mess of half-baked ideas and excessive CGI effects. Peter Parker (Spidey’s alter-ego) is sent on a school trip to Europe, where the villain Mysterio (a note-perfect Jake Gyllenhaal) shows up among a series of grandiose illusions — some of which are great fun. The jokes are hit and (mostly) miss, but the subplot with Parker and Mary Jane (Zendaya) offers the sweetest romantic core of any Marvel movie. They should have focused on these basic elements — cramming everything into a massive, multi-movie Marvel universe is starting to feel more like a curse than a blessing. Rated PG-13. 129 minutes. Rated PG-13. 129 minutes. Screens in 2D only at Regal Santa Fe 6 and Violet Crown. Screens in 3D and 2D at Regal Stadium 14. (Robert Ker) 3 chiles - TOY STORY 4 The latest chapter in the Toy Story franchise centers on the cowboy Woody (Tom Hanks), who is feeling less needed under the care of his new owner, a child named Bonnie (voiced by Madeleine McGraw). When Bonnie crafts a beloved homemade toy named Forky (Tony Hale), Woody feels obligated to protect poor Forky at all costs. This is tested when, on a family trip, Forky winds up trapped in an antique store lorded over by a vintage doll named Gabby Gabby (Christina Hendricks) and her delightfully creepy ventriloquist-dummy henchmen. The plan is on to spring Forky, but will this give Woody the contentment he craves? Pixar Animation once more offers a movie that is gorgeous to look at, but the plot lacks the weight of earlier installments, which is especially glaring in light of the perfect send-off the characters received in 2010’s Toy Story 3. Fans of Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) may be disappointed by lack of screentime, but those who love Bo Peep (Annie Potts) will be pleased, and new characters voiced by Keanu Reeves and comedy duo Key and Peele steal the show. This is the least involving of the Toy Story films, but only because their benchmark is so high. Rated G. 100 minutes. Screens in 2D at Regal Santa Fe 6, Regal Stadium 14, and Violet Crown. (Robert Ker) 2 chiles - YESTERDAY This truly strange picture by director Danny Boyle tells the story of Jack Malik (Himesh Patel), a struggling songwriter who gets a big break when a strange phenomenon causes the entire world (aside from him) to forget that The Beatles existed. With all traces of the band gone, Jack passes the Fab Four’s songs off as his own — first unwittingly, and gradually with more purpose. The premise could have gone in any number of interesting directions (foremost among them: can you separate Beatles’ songs from the band’s era, and would the tunes be rapturously received by a person of Asian-African descent in 2019?). Instead, the story follows a formulaic rom-com path — as Jack’s renown as the world’s greatest songwriter grows, he risks losing the one woman (Lily James) who believed in him back when he was trying to write his own material. Fortunately, the music is superb, several of the jokes land, a surprise scene near the end delights, and the supporting acting is winsome — Kate McKinnon steals the show as an aggressive manager and Ed Sheeran is on hand to make fun of himself. It’s just a very bizarre use of Beatles’ license, and a wasted opportunity. Rated PG-13. 116 minutes. Regal Stadium 14 and Violet Crown.

Shrewsbury Colleges Group (SCG) and The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH) have recently announced plans to join together to form a unique partnership to benefit young people, the county and the community. The College provides excellent education and training to meet a wide range of careers and employment opportunities, but is the first in the country to offer a dedicated programme of careers support focusing on the breadth of roles within the NHS, the county’s largest employer. Selected full-time academic, vocational courses and Apprenticeships will now offer specific NHS-related elements as well as career planning, placements and mentoring to equip students with the skills and behaviours required to work in a wide variety of roles across the NHS. Catherine Armstrong, Group Vice Principal Curriculum Support and Business Development at SCG commented, “We’re really excited about partnering with the NHS and the fantastic opportunities it will give our young people as they approach the world of work. The selected courses and Apprenticeships will be structured to incorporate relevant content and supported by specialist mentoring, to skill future employees, aid progression and enhance job opportunities. The mentoring support will continue throughout further training for roles such as medicine with the objective of encouraging SCG students to return to Shropshire to advance their careers with the NHS.” SaTH employs over 6000 staff in both medical and healthcare roles and in numerous other non-medical areas such as estates and business support. The Trust provides district general hospital services for nearly half a million people in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and Mid Wales, the main service locations being the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford and the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital in Shrewsbury, which together provide 99% of the activity. Victoria Maher, SaTH’s Workforce Director said, “There are obvious benefits for all parties of the NHS having close links with our local training provider. It opens up career pathways and opportunities for people and especially young people to progress from school to college and into employment with an established employer who can support their progression within their chosen career. The NHS can offer a wide variety of career options including the well-recognised clinical roles, doctor, nurse, physiotherapist, etc. There are also roles in administration, management, finance, engineering, catering and many more. To investigate further visit the NHS Careers website www.healthcareers.nhs.uk or to see opportunities locally within the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital visit our recruitment website: www.belongtosomething.co.uk. The NHS is an excellent employer offering a good working environment, good pay and pension arrangements, training and development opportunities and good support from managers and colleagues.” The partnership will see the College continuing to work with local schools, with which it has established links, and current college students to offer advice on careers with the NHS and training routes. College Students such as Gareth Matthews, 17, currently working towards a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Health & Social Care are already feeling the benefit. “When I was younger I spent a lot of time in hospital and hearing about the care I was given by the wonderful staff inspired me to pursue a career as a midwife. The College having this partnership with the NHS is an amazing opportunity for the students. I have just started as a Health Care Assistant at Shrewsbury Hospital and other students will now have the advice and guidance to help them get experience and jobs too.” The NHS will be attending SCG hosted Year 11 Progression Events at Telford on 13 October and upcoming Open Evenings on Tuesday 16 October and Wednesday 24 October at Welsh Bridge and English Bridge Campuses and on Thursday 8 November at London Road Campus. The Open Evenings provide an opportunity to find out about courses, including those offering NHS supported activity, entry requirements and what student life is like at Shrewsbury Colleges Group with staff and existing students on hand to talk to. There will also be a number of events held at the Hospital throughout the academic year supported by Shrewsbury Colleges Group.

My mother side of the family members all-live in Mexico, near the capital. About 1 third of folks who get fitness trackers cease making use of them within six months, and more than half eventually abandon them altogether. I’ve been neglecting my blog lately. And thank you to all the folks for whom this weekend is for. So possibly that is the point these leaders are attempting to make – that some of us merely don’t deserve healthcare, that only specific people, only the right” folks deserve healthcare. This combined with consuming a bit far more meals on higher activity days has brought my weight back to where it was previously. French researchers found that a flavanoid called phloridzin that is found only in apples might safeguard post-menopausal females from osteoporosis and might also increase bone density. I also started applying healthful consuming principles that I currently knew but didn’t practice. As a result if your seeking to tone the region around the bra, or to really feel sexy in strapless dress, place in at least 1 chest workout a week. Mais elles sont très différentes des énergies fossiles, il faut s’adapter. Détendez-vous après une visite au Spa Guerlain. A couple items that impresses me is 1) that the written exercise is correct on the side of the video (please never ever alter that) it aids me see whats ahead and allows me to get my bells setup.

Not even under his brother Rob has Toronto seen a display of populism as crude as the one being put on by candidate Doug Ford. Rob always stressed his bond with ordinary people. He was the one who toured public housing estates, spent hours personally answering constituent calls and boasted of his role as champion of the little guy against the stuck-up Toronto establishment. Now that Doug is running for mayor in his brother's place, he is taking that campaign to a new, more obnoxious level. His target is John Tory, the former business executive and provincial Conservative leader who opinion polls suggest is the front-runner in the contest for mayor. Even before Mr. Tory launched his run, Doug Ford was calling him "one of the elites of the 1 per cent." In the past week, actively joining the race for the first time since his brother was diagnosed with cancer, he plunged into Huey Long territory, painting Mr. Tory as a spoiled son of privilege who had everything handed to him "on a silver platter" and came from a "different world" than most people. Pulling out of a $800-a-table debate at the downtown Empire Club – "that is more money than some families make in a week!" said a Ford campaign statement – he claimed that Mr. Tory "is down there to represent the downtown elites," throwing in "the lobbyists" and "political insiders" for good measure. "Every man a king, but no one wears a crown," said Long when he ran for governor of Louisiana in 1928. "I am campaigning to be the mayor of all people, not the mayor of the privileged few," says Doug Ford running for mayor of Toronto. Will it work? Not likely. Toronto is not Louisiana in the 1920s. Most voters will recognize the silly soak-the-rich rhetoric that Mr. Ford is spouting as what it is – a last desperate ploy to hang on to power. There are divides in this city, no doubt – between downtown and suburbs, rich and poor, newcomers and more established groups. But class warfare is not Toronto's way. The Toronto way is to climb up, not tear down. It is what the Fords did themselves, when their father rose from a poor background to create a thriving family business. Doug built on his Dad's hard work by taking the labelling company to greater success. The Fords of all people should know that Torontonians respond best to a message of optimism, not resentment. Mr. Ford is drawing a cartoon, with rich guys in silk top hats against the heroic, toiling masses who "work their back off" just trying to get by. Most will see the caricature of Mr. Tory as absurd, especially coming from a wealthy businessman like Mr. Ford. Mr. Tory may have a privileged background – he freely admits it – but he has spent much of his career giving back, as a leader of civic causes and charities. The most recent polls shows him leading even in the usual Ford Nation strongholds, Scarborough and Etobicoke. The Ford campaign says that Mr. Ford "is committed to running a campaign based on connecting with the average hard-working people of Toronto." Fortunately, the average hard-working people of Toronto know when they are being patronized and pandered to. (This is the man, remember, who was caught handing out $20 bills at a public housing complex.) Patting them on the head while trying to stir them up against the rich won't work, no matter how hard Doug Ford pitches his populist sludge.

Your Chicago Stay in a Unique, Boutique Way The options are endless when it comes to choosing a hotel in Chicago. From classic hotels to modern hotels that have been popping up throughout the city, deciding on the perfect place to stay can be a challenge. If you are searching for something fresh beyond the traditional large hotel experience, you have come to the right place. Whether you are in need of a brief staycation or you are planning an unforgettable first-time trip to Chicago, The Magnificent Mile and its surrounding area boast a variety of boutique hotels that offer an experience unlike any other. Each with its own unique personality, boutique hotels have something to offer that you may not find anywhere else in the city or even the world. From beautiful artwork to high tech amenities and some of Chicago’s finest dining, find a hotel that caters to you. Designed to meet your needs, experience Chicago in a boutique way. The Talbott Hotel For Understated Elegance Steps away from the hustle and bustle of The Magnificent Mile, you’ll find The Talbott just west down Delaware Street. Built in 1927, The Talbott fits in seamlessly to the Gold Coast neighborhood with its old-school charm. If you remember The Talbott from the past, you may not recognize its new, modern interior designed my Kara Mann, but you’re sure to recognize the friendly doormen and staff waiting to greet you. From the moment you step inside The Talbott, you will be taken away from the traditional hotel experience. You won’t find a check-in desk as soon as you step inside the door, but instead you’ll find coffee and plenty of space to sit down and unwind. Walk over to The Gallery where you’ll feel as if you’re in a living room from the 1920s. The Talbott’s elegant, velvet furniture and 1920s inspired decor evoke its rich history. Go back in time with The Talbott and immerse yourself in the old Gold Coast culture at a live jazz music night. The Talbott embraces its past and works to create the feel of an underground jazz club that was common nearly a century ago. Unwind from a long day of work at 20E, the hotel’s restaurant and bar, with a CBD cocktail. Summer nights at 20E are picture perfect on its long patio on Delaware Street. Never overly crowded but always with plenty of people to socialize with, 20E offers a relaxing night that will make you feel like you are a part of the neighborhood. The Talbott’s staff wants you to unleash your adventurous side just as they do themselves. Ask hotel staff about the best spots to explore the city as you head out from this casually elegant, laid-back hidden gem. 20 E.

LaSalle Drive | (312)605-8708 St. Jane Hotel For the Luxurious Standing tall and embellished in gold in the historic Carbon and Carbide building on Michigan Avenue, the St.Jane Hotel is hard to miss. After all, it’s shaped like a vintage champagne bottle inspired by prohibition in the 1920s! The St. Jane remains glamorous and luxurious while staying true to the woman it is named after and inspired by, Jane Addams. The 1920s Art Deco design of the St. Jane along with the intricate patterns and textures found in the artwork and architecture throughout the hotel give it a Great Gatsby like feeling. The hotel’s newest artwork can be found in The Gate, a gathering space on the main floor. Created by the “Queen of Tape,” Anna Dominguez, the detailed piece of art made up of duct tape features the Carbon and Carbide building and a quote from Jane Addams. The St. Jane’s guest rooms are spacious and offer breathtaking views of the city. Stay in The Tower at St. Jane for an extra luxurious experience with bold decor and an up-close look at the building’s 24k gold embellishments that can only be seen from the hotel’s top floors.

Experience is key at Hotel EMC2.
