I got a chance to sing "Here" in a duet with Alessia Cara on Smule sing app. The breath-taking and lyrically filled song is a masterpiece off of her debut album "Know-it-all" which was released in November 2015. The hit single which is making waves globally is based on her true life experience of a party that she once attended. Not feeling comfortable with the activities in the party and the atmosphere, the 19-year-old Canadian decided to pen down her awful experience into a song.
Alessia who started singing at a very tender age was discovered by EP entertainment, a record company based in US, after she posted several videos of her cover songs on youtube. With the help and support of her family, Alessia discovered her career path at an early age and followed her passion and dream. Now signed to Def Jam records and on world tour, her success story will serve as an inspiration to many who are looking at following their passion and building a career around it, and as a wake up call to others especially parents and guardians who discourage their children and wards from following their dreams.
The Patriots looked like they were heading in the same direction, Thursday night, in the rematch with the Red Hawks, dropping their first two sets.
It's the first Greater Thumb Conference West Division loss for the Cass City (20-8-3, 5-1), which is ranked No. 5 in the state in Class C by the Michigan Interscholastic Volleyball Coaches Association.
"They (USA) seriously wanted it," said USA coach Teresa Rose. "They can keep up with this team, Cass City. We're playing really good volleyball right now and they just wanted it."
"We have to learn to battle when the chips are against us," Cuthrell said. "I saw some emotional letdown and they have to battle. USA was the better team. I thought they fought hard and deserved to win that game. We needed that win but we didn't deserve it."
The Red Hawks won the opener despite USA getting as close as 19-17 on four straight kills from Rylee Zimmer.
The Patriots (16-10-3, 5-1) got as close as 22-21 in the second set, before sending it into extra points.
Added Cuthrell: "I thought we played hard the first two games but I saw an emotional change. We can play Class A teams all day long, but when we play USA you have to be emotionally engaged. It's a mental game. And it is for them too."
Then USA opened set three with a 6-1 run that had the Hawks having to come back three times before losing.
"The minute we got down we got conservative and you cannot be conservative against USA," Cuthrell said.
"You have to pound the ball. I bet our hit percentages were much lower, our tip percentages went up, we became conservative, we lost faith in ourselves and didn't play our game."
"We just decided we would not let anything hit the ground," she said. "They (USA) were moving, they were digging up balls that we normally don't do. I think maybe Cass City played a little back on their heels, thinking, 'Oh, we won the first two.'"
"That ties us up going into the second half of the league and hopefully we're starting play really good volleyball in the end. Everybody contributed and it was good to see that."
Zimmer finished with five blocks, 44 kills, 16 assists and seven digs on the night. Allyson Kemp had 15 kills.
Nicole Schember had 48 assists, Katelyn Englehardt had 71 digs and tied with Lexy Neal with four aces.
Cass City got 14 kills from Sayge Cuthrell and 13 each from Kacey Hare and Lauren Dickenson. Cuthrell added 21 assists and Baylee Murphy had 32 digs.
A one-of-its-kind matrimonial site, hooking up patients and survivors of chronic illnesses with others like them in a bid to find the ideal life partner, is already a hit
There's a ray of hope for those stigmatised and struggling with a serious or terminal illness looking for a partner. A first-of-its-kind matrimonial website, Divine Relations, has been launched exclusively for patients and survivors of serious illnesses to help them meet others going through similar pain and ailments.
Dadar resident Chaitali Mankame (33), suffering from a chronic kidney ailment, has been undergoing dialysis for the last six years. Considering the long waiting list for those who want an organ, she doesn't want to go for a transplant. Under pressure from her parents, she registered on various matrimony sites; it's been four years, but she hasn't received a single response because of her medical condition.
"People always want 'perfect wives' and have a lot of expectations. I have mentioned in my profile that I am undergoing dialysis, as I don't want to hide anything about my condition. But I haven't got any response… that's the mentality of the society," she said.
Now, Divine Relations has come to her aid — she's found three potential matches after registering on the portal. "This site provides personal assistance and also helps in getting the matches and fixing the meetings. It functions with a human touch," she gushed.
Then there's Ketan Kothari (40) from Malad, who underwent a kidney transplant in 2012. Now, he has recovered completely and is working with an IT company. And yet, he wasn't able to get married because of the social stigma attached to the ailment.
"Often, I met girls who initially liked me, but when I told them that I underwent a kidney transplant, they lost interest. I can't help if people's mindset is such; I don't want to keep anyone in the dark. So, I will always be open about my surgery," he said.
The new website has filled him with hope. "There, we can find potential partners who have gone through the same situation, and hence, understand it better," he added.
TB survivor Ankita Rao (name changed) has been facing the same situation. "TB in India is still a taboo. Even though I have recovered, people are afraid. This website is a unique one that helps those with similar medical history to find partners," said the 29-year-old.
Grieving the death of his son, who died in 2014 at the age of 5 due to internal bleeding in the brain, cause of which remains unknown, a marketing professional from the city started the portal to help patients and survivors of chronic diseases meet others like themselves.
Vivek Sharma (33), an alumnus of IIM-Calcutta who started the site on November 4 last year, his son Amogh's birthday, said.
"I wanted to do something for patients suffering from terminal diseases. Considering the mindset of people in our society, they generally are not accepting of a patient or survivor as a life partner. So, I thought of starting this, so that people going through similar ailments could choose their companions."
The idea was inspired by two doctors, who told him about several patients unable to find partners even after making a full recovery. "The doctors told me about numerous TB and cancer patients who didn't find acceptance and were considered unsuitable for marriage even after being completely cured," he said.
Sharma, who has quit his job, is looking after the portal and its related activities. He and his classmate, Sushil Dugar, have also started a trust — Mickey Amogh Foundation in memory of Dugar's deceased autistic cousin.
None of the matches have culminated in marriage as yet; several are in the courtship stage. "I am optimistic that someone will find their life partner here and be able to lead a happy and fulfilled life," said Sharma.
The patient/survivor must fill forms giving details about his/her health, including blood group, tissue types, PRA (Percent Reactive), serum cross match, besides mentioning the disease s/he is/was suffering from and its stage. After registration, the website will cross-check the data, and then confirm the membership.
Over the past 30+ years companies across Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, Northern Kentucky, Southeastern Indiana and Southwestern Ohio have trusted Midwest Buildings with their commercial construction projects. Businesses like Tire Discounters, Evans Landscaping, Gerdes Turf Farms and many more.
There are two types of yeast that home brewers use when fermenting their beer. You have dry and liquid yeast available. We’ll cover both types, the pluses and minuses of each, and how to prepare them for use. Let’s start with dry yeast.
Dry yeast can be sprinkled right into the cooled wort if you want. You do not need to rehydrate, but some people still like to get the yeast going before they pitch it. This is what you need to do if you plan on rehydrating it:
Dry yeast can be pitched right into your wort without the need for rehydration. The wort will show signs of fermentation very quickly.
Dry yeast will ferment the beer very quickly. This can sometimes lead to a sweet or fruity flavor in the beer. Dry yeast is also very limited on the varieties available.
Liquid yeast is available from two main manufacturers, Wyeast and White Labs. Liquid yeast should be stored in the refrigerator until use. We will talk about each one individually because how you prepare them for use will differ.
The Wyeast Activator packages include a sterile liquid nutrient pouch that, when “smacked”, releases its contents into the yeast slurry and “activates” the package. The available nutrients initiate the culture’s metabolism which in turn generates CO2 and causes swelling of the package. This process will reduce lag times by preparing the yeast for a healthy fermentation prior to inoculation. Activation also serves as a viability test of the culture. Expansion of the package is an indicator of healthy (viable and vital) yeast. Although beneficial, cultures do not need to be activated prior to inoculation.
We’ve found that you can pitch an Activator pack directly into a 5 gallon batch with good results. It may take a bit longer for the fermentation to begin, but this will work just fine. However, if you are brewing a higher gravity beere, like an Imperial Stout or Bigfoot’s Barleywine, then you should make a yeast starter. For more information, see our PDF titled “How do I make a yeast starter?” Here is how you prep an Activator pack:
Signs of fermentation should be evident within 24 hours, depending on yeast strain, brewing procedures and fermentation temperatures.
Note: Do not panic if you pack does not swell. Sometimes the inner pouch can be difficult to break. Just cut off the top and pitch into your wort. It takes a lot to kill yeast, so try the pack anyway. 99% of the time everything will turn out just fine.
Wyeast comes in many specific yeast strains to make your beer exactly like the commercial breweries do. Wyeast has a long fermentation time so your beer is more likely to ferment out, resulting in a better beer.
Fermentation appears to take a long time to start, but don’t worry. Liquid yeasts sink to the bottom of your fermenter, so it just takes longer before you start to see bubbles coming out of the airlock.
White labs come in what looks like a test tube or in their PurePitch packaging . You can either pitch the yeast right into your wort, or make a yeast starter if you choose. For more information, see our PDF titled “How do I make a yeast starter?” Most brewers will pitch the yeast right into the wort. Here is how to prep for using White Labs yeast:
Open cap on vial. Pour contents into the wort. With PurePitch sanitize the outside of the package and a pair of clean scissors before cutting off the top along the dotted line.
Also be sure to squeeze out the package over your fermentor as the yeast can sometimes cake up inside the PurePitch packaging.
Note: Yeast can take 24 – 72 hours to show signs of fermentation. Give the yeast time to work before you start becoming concerned. If after 72 hours and no signs of fermentation, add dry yeast. If you are not sure if the yeast has worked or not; take a hydrometer reading, or taste the beer. If it is very sweet, the yeast has not worked. Dry yeast may start in a couple hours, but it can ferment a beer in less than 12 hours.
If you are not sure about the viability of your yeast then make a starter first. This will give you the opportunity to ensure that the yeast is working before you pitch it into your wort. Even if there are only two yeast cells left, that is all you need to ferment a beer.
