text: Interview with Andrew Penfold AM Founder and Managing Director of the Australian Indigenous Education Foundation and winner of the 2013 Chancellor's Award for Excellence. If you'd seen Andrew Penfold when he was a Year 9 schoolboy, you'd agree with everyone else: he was going nowhere. Surely, that boy could never make a success of his life, let alone earn millions of dollars in the competitive world of Hong Kong banking? Nor could anyone predict that, at 38, he'd quit the money trail to work for nothing to transform the lives of thousands of underprivileged Indigenous children. Or that it would lead to him founding the ground-breaking Australian Indigenous Education Foundation - an achievement that saw him honoured with a Member of the Order of Australia award in January 2014. "I was wagging school, hanging around with the wrong crowd, spending my life in pin ball arcades," Penfold recalls of his 14 year old self. "I was getting into fights, getting into trouble, not doing my homework, getting terrible results." His mother Alexandra had been widowed when Andrew was just six. Desperate to get her wayward son back on track, she persuaded St Joseph's College, Hunters Hill (Joeys), to take him as a boarder. Penfold hated it. "I got into trouble, in detention, in fights. Then I'd run away." He was suspended, then given another chance. "At no time did I ever say, 'Now I'll buckle down'," Penfold explains. "But being in an environment like that has a profound effect. You're exercising, having regular meals, doing your homework, having a routine that's so busy you're always tired. And you stop rebelling, start learning." Turning Point The turning point was the day he was chosen to play five-eighth for the school's Year 10 A grade rugby team. "I had a great year on the field, started to feel confident, and began making friends. My results started improving and my confidence grew alongside my results. It becomes self-perpetuating." By the end of Year 12, Penfold had won prizes for being first in maths, history and economics. But his HSC results weren't good enough to study law at university. "In those days, UTS had an interview system for those who wanted to study law, but whose HSC marks weren't good enough," he explains. "I went for the interview and they gave me an opportunity. I started in 1986. That transformed my life. When I scored a place in the UTS law faculty I felt people were taking a punt on me. The course was full of people from diverse backgrounds: the police, courts, trade unions, law advocacy, business. We were close, we shared a lot of tough challenges together, balancing full time jobs. It was a really stimulating environment to study." After Graduation After graduating, Penfold moved to Hong Kong in 1995 as a commercial lawyer. The following year he made the career switch to investment banking, joining Nomura's Hong Kong office. He was making a fortune, "well beyond anything I'd dreamt of". But in 2002, another event transformed his life - the Bali bombing. "I'd been playing rugby for the Hong Kong Football Club, and my team had entered the annual Bali 10s tournament," says Penfold. "But my wife Michelle had just had our second daughter, Tanami, and we were in Sydney when I heard the news. All my mates were in the Sari Club when the bomb went off. Twelve of them died." Penfold helped set up a Hong Kong trust fund for victims which raised over A$2 million in just six months. Australian Indigenous Education Foundation (AEIF) A year later he was visiting Sydney when he heard Joeys had begun a scholarship program to take six Indigenous boys a year. Penfold's offer of help was accepted. He quit his job and moved back to Sydney. For the next five years, he and Michelle turned their dining room into a fundraising office. The target was $5 million. Instead they raised over $7 million, generating enough income for Joeys to offer up to 40 scholarships to Indigenous boys each year. The idea of going national and setting up the Australian Indigenous Education Foundation (AEIF) came to fruition in 2009. Penfold's initial target was an ambitious $40 million, but in just five years the foundation has passed $85 million. Each year, 450 indigenous students are granted AIEF scholarships at schools in NSW, Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia. Around 150 have gone on to university. But Penfold is not resting: the 20 year business plan forsees the organisation raising $140 million, enough to provide scholarships for up to 7000 Indigenous youngsters by 2028. "We're well on the way to achieving that," he says. Words: Steve Meacham - February 2014

I felt very held, safe and nurtured.
Barbara Rose holds a highly ethical and supportive space, has infinite patience with all our questions, divine guidance customized to all of us and unexpected support with every detail. I felt very held, safe and nurtured while having the freedom to have my own unique experience.Steve C
I now find myself engaged more fully in opening to the Light and to using it for healing myself and others as Spirit guides.
The trip to Brazil was life changing for me and a seed was planted there that's taking a bit of time to sprout. My experiences on the trip reminded me of so much that on another level I knew and it was a combination of remembering and waking up. I now find myself engaged more fully in opening to the Light and to using it for healing myself and others as Spirit guides. Barbara Rose was the perfect guide to embrace each of us and we greeted this incredible experience and I thank her for her candor as well as her sensitivity to our individual journeys.Lucy M
Barbara Rose set the tone for us to experience personal healing and deep spiritual growth.
On my third trip to the Casa Barbara Rose was my guide. This was an extraordinary experience, truly the trip of a lifetime. Barbara Rose created a wonderful spirit in the group and set the tone for us to experience personal healing and deep spiritual growth. She anticipated our needs and invited a spirit of care, cooperation and joy among all of us.Julie Curry
Barbara Rose is truly a superlative guide…
Barbara Rose is truly a superlative guide for the Casa de Dom Inacio de Loyola. She is patient, loving and very knowledgeable about all of the rituals and protocols of this very sacred place. Her guidance has given me the space and inspiration to deepen my spiritual life and meet my fears and doubts head-on with a loving and forgiving heart.Franza Giffen
Barbara Rose shared spiritual experiences from her heart.
She is patient, willing to explain again and again procedures which show the highest respect for the Entities. She was a step ahead of me in direction and practices at the Casa. Her willingness to do her very best made my experience at the Casa the greatest…During my first week at the Casa I thought I would never want to leave. In fact, my daughter's fear was that I wouldn't return home…I explain this to show how comfortable I was being thousands of miles away from home alone for the first time ever. I felt cradled in the arms of our guide and the group. There is work to be done and I am willing and ready—a reflection of our leader to be sure.Mary Lou
I highly recommend her as a guide for anyone who wants to get all they can from their time at the Casa.
The experience of my first trip to Abadiania was subtle, yet powerful…I was hesitant at first, but truly experienced unconditional love like never before…since returning from Brazil I feel I am more open, I have more clarity, and much, if not all, of my anxiety has gone…I had a fear of flying, fear of being alone, fear of dying…and now those feelings seldom come up for me. I also feel more connected to my inner child and am learning now to nurture her in a more healthy way…No longer packing down my feelings, I am better able to express what I am feeling without fear…I found the accommodations to be quite comfortable and the food outstanding…It was essential that Barbara Rose was my guide every step of the way. I highly recommend her as a guide for anyone who wants to get all they can from their time at the Casa…I will be returning to Brazil for another healing journey this year and I look forward to more healing and peace. I feel my next trip will be even more powerful, as I will go with a more open heart…and an ability to live more compassionately and be more authentic.Carla Hannahs
She made each and every person in our group feel like the most special person on earth.
Barbara Rose Billings was born to guide people to Abadiania, Brazil. She made each and every person in our group feel like the most special person on earth. We were all treated with love and care and equality no matter what state we were in. I would recommend Barbara Rose in an instant because she embodies the principles of the Casa. She is a loving healer and I love her dearly.Laura Fenamore
She had us prepared for each step of our journey.
Barbara Rose has the kind of sweet, loving spirit that I felt throughout my journey at the Casa. I felt she well represented the love and healing I received there. She was organized and prepared every step of the way. She had us prepared for each step of our journey. She was always available to answer our questions or help us when we needed it.Carol Parks

Why Students Need Essay Writing Services?
It has become quite normal for the students to get baffled over the academic tasks, especially that of essay writing. It could be the lack of knowledge of dealing with the task or it could be the shortage of time but in either case, students should have the right approach to weather the storm of this tedious task. Approaching the task with the wrong approach (dominated by factors like aggression/depression) would not let you deciphering the right path to go about it, but a little assistance from a renowned service certainly will. The main reason behind students getting attracted to offers like custom writing help is that there are many educational challenges other than essays which they have to manage, and repetition of essay writing task comes as a hurdle in managing these tasks simultaneously. Anything which could help these low-on-morale students is considered a blessing by them, and that is the reason why they see such writing services as a viable option.
What Makes UK Essay Writers Distinctive:
The existence of so many incredible essay writing services could make it easier yet tough for the students to choose one. Choosing the very best among the best could be tricky, so the students should draw some comparisons on which they can rate the service providers. We, as a leading force in this business, can make your decision easy by telling us the qualities that might take us step ahead of the rest. Have a look at them.
Extensive Research: We guarantee that we ask our researchers to conduct an extensive research on the given topic before assigning it to the writers. An essay which has a detailed research done on it will be free of copied content and it will also provide something new for the readers to experience.
Writing & Editing: We have the services of most complete writers and editors for each and every subject and the topic. Having a variety of quality writers and editors let us do our work more efficiently and effectively, while their writing skills add a further layer of completeness and conciseness in the essays.
Quality Proofread: While many consider proofreading just a mere formality, we take it seriously since it could totally change the dimension of the game. We highly pay our proofreaders so they can put in exceptional shifts and that has always helped us to be stronger than before.
Friendly Policies:We strictly believe in delivering what we state in our policies and we have also tried to keep them as friendly as we could. Free multiple revisions and refunds, the privacy of the customers, avoidance of unethical aspects and compliance with the guidelines regularly let us maintain our position at the top.
The Reasons Why UK Essay Writers Are Leading The Charge:
As mentioned earlier, we as a group help each other to reach the pinnacle. All our team members, especially the writers, are highly qualified individuals who have been serving this field for a good decade now. They have acquired their education from the top universities in the UK, and therefore understanding the nature of all the academic tasks is as easy as pie for them. You would see them delivering the most undoable tasks in the given time frame, and you will never see any dip in the quality of work they deliver. Furthermore, all these writers are accompanied with the services of renowned editors who further help them grow and excel in the right directions. The editors not only edit the written work but they also indicate the writers the area of their strength and weakness so they can take care of the business. Similarly, proofreaders, quality assurance members, and other helping staff always give their 100% percent to keep the company at the place where they are right now. Essay writing looks simple but it is the saturation that would keep you annoying whenever you decide to write an essay. However, UK Essay Writers have the services of the individuals who are solely attached to the field of academics and it's their bread and butter, so expecting them to commit mistakes often is very unlikely.
It is becoming quite normal that many leading writing services are reluctant to give multiple revisions as they believe that their services do not need corrections and rectifications. We, on the other hand, possess complete trust on the services of our team but still, we have not written off the services of revision and refunds. We know that human errors could be the part of the work and it is customer's first right to ask for a revision provided that he/she finds the errors and it. Our rates are also pocket-friendly, and that alone is enough motivation for the students to invest money in our services. Share your academic challenges with us as we believe we have the best solution for them.

Waitrose has announced a new partnership with Shell that will see the food chain rolling out its convenience stores into petrol stations in a two-site trial, as part of its efforts to extend its products to more consumers.
The trial will see Waitrose operating two Shell-owned petrol stations in Watford and Bayswater in London, acting as Shell's agent for fuel sales.
Upon successful completion of the trial, "Little Waitroses" are expected to be rolled out in 100 petrol stations owned by Shell.
There will be nearly 30 workers in each store, which will sell about 2,500 lines.
Speaking about the food chain's efforts to expand its customer reach, Mark Price, managing director of Waitrose, said: "Our research suggests there are six to seven million people who would like to shop at Waitrose but live too far away from our shops."

There are two sides to every story.
Tzeva Adom: Color Red tells the story of Ronit, a female solider serving in the Israeli Defense Forces, and Omar, a young Palestinian boy who gets caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. When she shows compassion towards him and his older brother, tensions begin to rise on both sides of the border. Now she must come to terms with what's right and what's smart in a world where social media runs rampant, everyone has a camera in their pocket, and acts of terrorism have become normal.
Our film tells the story from both sides of the border and ultimately presents a message of peace, tolerance, hope and responsible communication within the Israeli Palestinian conflict.

Donna Drake, is an international award winning creative artist, writer, producer, actress, voice-over talent, and the Creator and Executive Producer/Host of her new television show "Live it Up!" with Donna Drake. The show features stories, tips and resources filled with positive messages of hope, motivation, and inspiration to empower others.
Donna interviewed me, Judith Z. Miller, the author of "Artist Soul Speaks" in this segment about my primal wearable art and sculpture.
I met Donna via the British Airways Face of Opportunity Contest – she and I were both winners. The amazing contest "prize" was a round-trip to anywhere we wanted to go in the world! And, along with the First Class flight to London and a ticket to our final destination, British Airways wined and dined all the contestants in New York and London, where we attended business seminars presented by top entrepreneurial consultants.
My interview with Donna took place before I went to Thailand to see the work of other artists who also use organic materials, and to have a private audience with Mr. Yord, a renowned Buddhist Shaman who consults with heads of State.
I traveled from Bangkok to Chiang Mai with the help of my new friend Narong and his wife to Mr. Yord's sanctuary filled with beautiful golden sculptures.
I decided to go to Thailand, to traveled half-way around the world to find out if what I was experiencing as "healing powers" in my hands and when I used my treebranch shakers, was in fact real – and if I should pursue healing work. I felt both trepidation and excitement about both the possible "yes" or "no" answer.
Mr. Yord spoke with me at length, generously giving me well over an hour of his time in a private audience with only my interpreter, Narong, and his wife present. We sat facing each other in intimate conversation. We spoke intimately, talking about my life, my artwork, and my spiritual practice. He asked inquired about my birth date and examined and meditated upon my tree branch shakers.
After his evaluation, Mr. Yord spoke to me with great assurance and certainty. We sat looking into each others' eyes as he informed me that healing work was my life work – my destiny. I questioned him several times, asking if he was sure – if he could feel from my presence that this was the right choice for me. He repeated several times that it was.
Then Mr. Yord performed a ritual blessing, repeating prayers in Thai and blessing me with water. He tied a colored string around my wrist and wrote ancient Thai prayers on the shakers. He gave me sacred amulets representing the arts and healing.
I left of our meeting thrilled – and stunned. Humbled – and emboldened to begin my new life work – my healing work.

Insert various file attachments on the Web
This tip allow you to insert various files in a document and refresh it for each upload in a Web aplication.
You Can View User Feedback To This Tip
This tip allow you to insert various files in a document and refresh it for each upload in a Web aplication.
All the files will be inserted in a Rich Text Field which is named "RTFiles".
The name of the database is "NameBase.nsf"
You need Two Forms and a view :
- the first form is the default form use by the document (Name = DefaultForm).
- the second form is use for insert the files (Name = InsertForm).
- A view named "(ID)" sort this the field IDDDOC of DefaultForm.
The DefaultForm is compose by yours fields, a Rich text field which name is "RTFiles" and a Computed Field wich name is "IDDOC" with the @DocumentUniqueID of the document.
In the DefaultForm you must create an action which code javascript is:
" var wintab; var id = document.forms[0].IDDOC.value; wintab = window.open('/NameBase.nsf/InsertForm?openform&IDDOC=' +id,'','top=150,left=3 50,toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=420,height=180'); wintab.focus();"
This action open a new window with the form InsertForm and in the Query_String you have the Id of the document which will receive the files attachments.
In the InsertForm You must create a File Upload, A Field Query_String, A computed Field with the name "IDDOC" and the code :
@Right(Query_String;"&IDDOC="), a field SaveOptions with the value "0" and a Computed Field "NamesFiles" with the value @AttachmentsNames.
In the WebQuerySave event of the InsertForm you will put
And the code for the A-Insert agent is :
Dim s As NotesSession Dim db As notesdatabase Set s = New NotesSession Set db = s.currentDataBase Dim contdoc As notesdocument Set contdoc = s.DocumentContext Dim iddoc As notesitem Set iddoc=contdoc.getfirstitem("iddoc") Dim view As notesview Dim doc As notesdocument Set view=db.getview("(ID)") Call view.refresh() Set doc = view.getdocumentbykey(contdoc.iddoc(0)) If contdoc.Hasembedded Then Dim tempfile As Variant Dim RTITEM As Variant Set rtitem=doc.getfirstitem("RTFiles") If (rtitem Is Nothing) Then Set rtitem = doc.createrichtextitem("RTFiles") Set tempfile = contdoc.createrichtextitem("tempfile") Dim o As NotesEmbeddedObject Set o = contdoc.GetAttachment(contdoc.NamesFiles(0)) Call o.ExtractFile("c:Temp" + o.name) Call tempfile.EmbedObject( EMBED_ATTACHMENT, "", "c:temp" + o.name) Kill "c:temp" + o.name Call o.remove If (rtitem.Type = RICHTEXT) Then Call rtitem.AppendRTItem( tempfile ) Call doc.save(True,False) End If End If Dim javascript As String javascript ="<script>window.opener.document.location.href=" & """javascript:_doClick('Refresh',this,null,null)""" & ";window.close()</script>" Print javascript
This agent will insert the file upload in the RTFiles RixhTextField and Refresh the document.
- This tip only works on Windows or Linux platforms. The reason for this is that the 'WebQuerySave'-agent called 'A-insert' uses the method 'EmbedObject' of the NotesRichTextItem. This method is not supported on MacIntosh, OS/2 and UNIX operating systems.—Ronald van Puijenbroek
- This tip works great !!! but..
if 2 users tries to attach a file with same name concurrently, it might produce error message because the file is being extracted to the server's hard drive before re-attaching it to the current document. I understand that this situation would be uncommon, but the website that caters a large number of users might face this problem.—Ravi

Addiction prevention topic of April workshops
Student Support Services, Professional Development and Student Life are hosting addiction awareness workshops from noon to 1 p.m. Wednesday, April 9, and 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Thursday, April 10, from in CU2 in recognition of Alcohol Awareness Month.
"The reason we do this series is because addiction in Oklahoma has increased over the years," said Janie Wheeler, Student Support Services counselor.
Mark Woodward, Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics spokesman, will speak at Wednesday's workshop, Wheeler said.
"Woodward will be speaking on how drug abuse has affected Oklahoma and give pointers to friends, parents and family on how to spot drug abuse in someone close to them," she said.
Wheeler said Peter Messiah, Oklahoma City University Addiction Prevention Studies director, will speak at Thursday's workshop.
"He will be speaking about how to recognize the signs on addiction," Wheeler said.
"A lot of people do not realize once you start drugs, how easy it is to become addicted.
"This is to promote awareness and education, so people know they are not alone in this."
Wheeler said students and faculty are encouraged to attend this education series. She said attending faculty can earn quarterly health and safety training credit.
"The more people are aware of addiction, the better for our state," Wheeler said.
For more information, contact Wheeler at 405-682-7131.

Last month I had the pleasure of attending the 2016 Jeanneau Owner's Rendezvous in the British Virgin Islands. This is the third time Jeanneau America has hosted the event since it was first started in 2012. And while no two rendezvous' have been exactly the same, they have all shared the same basic DNA: sailing, adventure, fun, laughter, good times, great memories, and new friends. And of course the love of Jeanneau.
This particular rendezvous was especially good on several levels. For starters, among the 20 or so boats we had participating, was the brand new Jeanneau 64, Serenity. Having the flagship of the Jeanneau range on hand for the week, fully crewed by the way, truly added an exciting dimension to the overall event. We were also fortunate to have sailing legend, Gary Jobson as our guest speaker at the Bitter End Yacht Club compliments of our friends at Cruising World Magazine. Gary gave an outstanding presentation on a variety of subjects from the America's Cup Race to the infamous 1979 Fastnet Race to stories of the cruising lifestyle.
There's no doubt that sailing for a week in the British Virgin Islands is tough to beat. And as good as the entire BVI rendezvous was this year and will be again the next time, there are several other local rendezvous' that are just as good and probably easier to get to as well.
To begin with, there is the Can/Am Rendezvous that takes place over the same weekend as Summer Sailstice, June 17-18. This rendezvous located in Anacortes, WA, is hosted by Marine Servicenter and will be celebrating its 15th year this year. Also celebrating its 15th year and also taking place from June 17-18 is the Western Canadian Rendezvous hosted by Fraser Yacht Sales and being held at the Poets Cove Resort in the Canadian Gulf Islands. This has always been a Jeanneau favorite and I have no doubt that 2016 will be another great year for this popular event. The Chesapeake Bay Rendezvous sponsored by the Jeanneau Sailboat Owners and Atlantic Cruising Yachts also takes place June 17-18 in celebration of the summer solstice which occurs on Monday, June 20th.
Larsen Marine of Waukegan, IL will hold their rendezvous in July this year from the 15th to 17th in Milwaukee while the Jeanneau Rendezvous to Catalina Island hosted by Cruising Yachts will take place from July 27-30. Lastly, Navy Point Marine will offer some real excitement this August in the form of a cruising rally that begins in Toronto and ends at the other end of Lake Ontario at their marina in Sackets Harbor, NY. This sounds like a real adventure and one I know I don't want to miss.
At Jeanneau, we have always been proud of the boats we build. And why not, they're great! But as good a we know our boats are, without the people who own, sail and enjoy them, they're just a boat. A Jeanneau rendezvous, whether in the BVI, Pacific North West or Chesapeake Bay, bring Jeanneau owners together to share stories, make new friends and have fun. And that's really what owning a Jeanneau is all about, having awesome times in awesome places with awesome people. So let's rendezvous Jeanneau fans and let the good times roll!
Sail on...

History Left
In 1883, some of the people of Lake Placid felt the need for a library. A public notice was put up, and the meeting was scheduled to be held in the Adirondack Baptist Church on January 15, 1884.
On the appointed day eighteen people "interested in the literary advancement of our community" formed the Library Association of North Elba. A Certificate of Incorporation was filed in the office of the Essex County Clerk, Mr. Roberts, who donated the cost of the filing, on February 19, 1884.
Building plans began immediately. Two hundred books had already been donated for the shelves,............

Turkey hunting doesn't get any better than what we have in Texas. Here in the Pineywoods, the restocking of eastern wild turkeys is still struggling in many counties but going strong in others. It's the Rio Grande turkey that makes spring hunts so popular among thousands of hunters. They are numerous and can be found just about anywhere you hunt from Central to South and West Texas.
Have you ever thought about changing the look of your home by changing the shape of the front yard landscape? Before you say no, grab your camera, head out the front door and take a few shots of your home. You can then go to the local drugstore and print out a dozen or so copies, as large as you can. Grab a new black marker, too, if you don't have one.
Early spring cold fronts continue to move through Southeast Texas, and that has made the business of catching big trout on Sabine Lake more than a little tough. But there is good news in that a few big trout are being fooled by lures. The best I've seen within the past couple of days came from the north shoreline of East Galveston Bay. She weighed an impressive 9 pounds.
Put on your walking shoes because this Saturday, April 13, there is a treat in store for all plant lovers and area home and garden enthusiasts. The Magnolia Garden Club has organized speakers and home gardens to tour that "sing the songs" of organic gardening, adaptability to nature and dedication to outdoor beauty.
It's not known as the most popular bass fishing lake in Texas, but truth be known, Lake Austin is an up-and-coming star when it comes to producing 13-pound-plus largemouth bass.
"Lake Austin continued to solidify its ranking as one of the best trophy bass lakes in Texas with Toyota ShareLunker 548, caught March 27 by Round Rock angler Colin Pack while fishing in a tournament," said Larry Hodge with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
Hodge reports that Pack caught the fish in 10 feet of water using a Carolina rig while fishing in hydrilla.
The cold front that came in last Sunday was nothing more than stumbling block for anglers in the hunt for trophy trout on Sabine Lake. The cold weather came in Sunday, and by Wednesday it was back to spring time, warm temperatures and warming tides along the upper Texas coast.
From now through the end of April, big trout will be roaming the shallows of both Sabine Lake and East Galveston Bay. Ditto that for the east shoreline of Trinity Bay.
The Dave Holder Fishing Show was held in Houston recently and, as usual, it was nothing short of fantastic. I was there, and it was like a traffic jam of people from Southeast Texas that included Sabine Lake guide Dickie Colburn, East Bay guide Jim West and a whole lot of Beaumont fishermen looking to get the latest on what's going on in the world of saltwater fishing.
Just because they are beautiful doesn't mean they are difficult. The lovely cyclamen can be found at local nursery centers flaunting their flirty pinks, purples, white and fuchsia petals. They are so full of themselves that they also go by the name "Shooting Stars."
Yes, I do know that most of the hunting seasons have now become history. One of the exceptions to that is that the so-called conservation season for light geese. However, there are not very many local folks that are willing to go afield after snow, blue, or Ross geese at this time of year. Believe me, successfully taking good numbers of those birds now is not like hunting them during the regular season.
The white bass spawning run on the Sabine River above Toledo Bend is as good as it's been in years. The river is running with plenty of water and giving up lots of big whites that are hitting 1/4-ounce Road Runner spinners like there ain't no tomorrow.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

I've always wanted to sit myself down in the restaurant that won Best New Restaurant the night the Best of Denver issue came out, but there's always been some complication -- some crisis (generally alcohol-related) that required my immediate attention. My usual post-Best of routine is to drink until I can't remember any of the winners, any of the losers, even my own name.
I have often threatened to run off to Mexico and not come home until all the hubbub has died down -- to spend a week, maybe two, knocking back cheap beers and buying pinatas in Ciudad Juarez, laying out in the sun in Ensenada and letting the sun bake a year's worth of miseries away.
I've never managed to pull off the Mexican thing, either, but this year, I finally did sit down inside the winner's circle. I was at Bones last night, the day word came down that it's the Best New Restaurant in the city.
I'm not sure if the crew knew they'd won; owner Frank Bonanno was in Arizona, hanging out with his kids for spring break, and hadn't yet found anyone who'd read him the award(s) he'd just won. But at Bones, everyone was behaving like it was business as usual: seating tables, serving noodles and being (occasionally) just plain bitchy.
True, the place was doing a killer business. By 5:30 p.m., the floor and bar were completely full. An hour later, folks were being turned away at the door or told to wait. And by 7 p.m., runners were being dispatched to Mizuna and Luca to pick up additional supplies -- namely travelers of lobster meat for the lobster ramen, my favorite dish at Bones.
I was there with a four-top and, between us, we demolished about half the menu -- knocking back noodles, noodles and more noodles, pork belly buns and suckling pig buns and bottles of Kirin and Samurai. There were a few customers in the joint toting Best of Denver issues still warm from the presses but for the most part, it seemed like just another night. And before long, that was just what it was.
I was eating with a long-lost friend (my freshman roommate from college, actually, who I hadn't spoken to or seen in more years than I want to admit to) and his wife, so we had plenty of catching up to do. Lots of stories to tell, lots of questions from my darling wife Laura on how he'd been able to put up with me for a whole year (no easy task, that, as Laura--who's been living with me for something like ten years--well knows). And granted, we may have camped out there a tad too long (call it three hours) on a night when the staff was turning the dining room fairly frantically, but I still found it a bit off-putting that our server--who'd been nothing but sweetness and light for the first couple of hours--started getting cranky.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
When asked for the fourth or fifth time whether we needed anything else, Laura told him that no, we were just fine and would be moving along soon. And under his breath, he responded, "Oh, it's already way too late for that."
But you know what? I can forgive that. It was a big night for the house. A busy night. And we were costing the guy money. Besides, I was feeling good -- stuffed full of good food, good company and more noodles than any one man should reasonably eat in a sitting -- so I was content to let it go. This time.
I just called Bones, hoping to talk to a manager to see exactly what kind of numbers the floor did last night and what the reservation book was looking like for tonight. But all I got was a recorded message that the restaurant would be closed because of the snow. The night after winning the award for Best New Restaurant.
Which just made me all the happier that I was able to have dinner there last night.

I am creating a secure document portal for a client. One of the things that they are worried about is having someone upload a document with a virus. One solution that might work is to enforce that they only upload pdf files.
My question is two fold:
- Most importantly, is a pdf document virus proof?
- How can you determine in a *nix environment that a file is a pdf, besides just looking at the extension.

Manuel & Maria Frias
Manuel and Maria Frias were married in 1972; they purchased the Spring Mountain property in 1977 while living in San Francisco. Manuel and Maria's passion led them to plant Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot. They have grown their family business over the years with the help of their five children and you can taste the fruits of their labor in each bottle of Frias wine.
Fernando Frias
President & Chief Operating Officer
Fernando was born and raised in San Francisco and has been working with his family since the planting of their first 5 acres back in 1985. Fernando graduated from San Francisco state University with a B.S. in Hospitality Management in 2001.
After completing school Fernando jumped on full time assisting his father and brother as the director of sales and marketing. Fernando currently covers the entire United States, Japan, and Canada. Fernando also works helping in all aspects of his family's business from harvesting to pouring at wine dinners and various functions where the Frias wines are enjoyed. Fernando has recently made the move from San Francisco to Napa where he now lives full time.
Manny Frias Jr.
Vice President
Manolo "Manny" E. Frias Jr. grew up in San Francisco and spent the weekends working on the family ranch in St. Helena. In 2000, he began working full-time at the vineyard alongside his brother Fernando. Previously, Manny studied viticulture under Professor Steve Krebbs at the Napa Valley College. His passions include fishing, cooking, and drinking wine with strangers. If Manny could he would be a professional bass fisherman.
Todd Heth
Todd gained a passion for wine while working as a journalist in Hungary and traveling through Europe. Instead of buying a small vineyard as a hobby, he returned to his native California to pursue a degree in viticulture and enology at Fresno State University and then settled in Napa Valley. He began in the cellar and lab as an intern at Cuvaison Estate Wines, eventually assuming the role of associate winemaker and working with a number of smaller producers in custom production and consulting, from the vineyard through to sales. Todd enjoys the seasons and cycles of winemaking, from bud break to harvest in the vineyard and crush to bottling in the winery.

Barack Obama danced; Nicolas Sarkozy canoodled at the Taj Mahal. But when Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao arrives in New Delhi this afternoon, the mood is expected to be far less euphoric.
With booming economies, both India and China have plenty to smile about, but both nations' increasing prosperity has yet to help them turn the page on past quarrels and usher in a new era of goodwill. Wen's visit comes after a particularly chilly spell in the neighbors' relationship: India is increasingly anxious about China's assertiveness in its own backyard, which has set off a new round of introspection in New Delhi about how to deal with its neighbor. "Relations have sunk to their lowest point politically since the restoration of diplomatic relations [in 1976]," says Brahma Chellaney, a professor of strategic studies at the Center for Policy Research in New Delhi. Both sides hope that Wen's visit will help smooth out some of the differences, but earlier this week in New Delhi, Zhang Yan, the Chinese ambassador to India, said it wouldn't be easy. "China-India relations are very fragile and very easy to be damaged and very difficult to repair," he said.
When the Chinese Prime Minister sits down with his Indian counterpart, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, he may find resolving old rifts [EM] such as overlapping claims of territory along the country's 2,500 mile shared border [EM] complicated by new ones. China's relationship with Pakistan has warmed considerably of late, as Beijing assists India's longtime adversary in making infrastructure improvements, as well as pledging military aid and building nuclear reactors to deepen its ties with Islamabad, secure trade routes and counter-balance India's influence. In 2009, when China began issuing stapled visas to residents of Kashmir, India interpreted the move as an effort to discredit its sovereignty over the disputed region and a sign of Chinese meddling.
China's use of water is another rising source of tension. India's biggest rivers flow into the country from China. China is currently at work on constructing the world's largest hydroelectric dam on the Brahmaputra river, which is vital for Indian agriculture. India has agreed to treaties on water usage with its other neighbors, but China refuses to participate. This refusal to compromise underscores China's unreliability as a neighbor, says Srikanth Kondapalli, head of the Centre for East Asian Studies at New Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University. "While China argues for multilateralism in the international arena, it reverses that position when it comes to water," he says.
To try to overcome these political stalemates, both sides are looking to use their surging economies to rebuild relations [EM] and raise their political profiles as they have become invaluable partners for Western markets still mired in a global downturn. "There is a desire with China to get along, and I know there is such a desire in India," says Maharaja Krishna Rasgotra, former Indian Foreign Secretary. "Commerce will help soften political attitudes." Trade between India and China is expected to reach $60 billion this year up from $270 million 20 years ago, making China India's largest trading partner.
But there, too, there are issues to resolve. India's trade deficit with China is expected to top $20 billion this year. It's an asymmetry that both countries have pledged to correct, but India remains suspicious that, while China is happy to import its raw material while India buys China's refined goods, Chinese policy is standing in the way of Indian companies' exporting their own finished products. "They've turned India into an Africa-style raw material appendage," says Chellaney. "Their relations with India is lose-lose for India, win-win for China."
As Beijing builds new Indian Ocean ports and upgrades its naval capabilities to keep that supply line open to raw materials, New Delhi has grown wary of China's increasing military presence in its neighborhood. In response, India is looking East into China's backyard signing deals with Japan, Vietnam and South Korea on not just trade, but military cooperation as well. The expansion has rattled nerves on both sides, but some maintain that the fear of the other closing in is unfounded. "In today's world, encircling a big country impossible," says Rasgotra. "China is bound to come into the India Ocean. The endeavor should be to ensure that China comes in a constructive, creative and cooperative way." Resolving their differences will take creativity, yes, but, perhaps more importantly, it will take patience.


text: The Shortlist is at 258 Abercrombie Street, Darlington (not far from Café Ella). I'd tried their coffee before, but had never eaten there, having been slightly discouraged by how busy it always is; but today was a little bit rainy, and there were seats out the back (although we rapidly had to move when it started to pour), and the staff were extremely friendly and the breakfast very, very good, not least the coffee. Shown below: juicy egg and bacon in a soft bap with onion jam (I'm feling hungry again just looking at the picture) and a BLT with avocado.

Liz O'Donnell: Our generosity to the less fortunate marks us out on the global stage
GIVEN the state of the nation, it's not surprising that politics and observing it is a toxic business. Anger has become a constant theme in print and broadcast media. From early morning we are fed a diet of grievance on the airwaves. Small wonder so many people are switching to the relative happy valley of Lyric FM.
But Christmas is the one time when there is a break from this daily grind. For a change, there is an opportunity for reflection to replace argument and criticism. Too much negativity is bad for the national psyche and at this time of goodwill we are entitled to reflect on what is good and noble about Irish people.
This occurred to me when I watched loving Irish families welcoming 60 orphans and poor children from Belarus for a two-week holiday. But there are so many thousands of volunteers like them working with the homeless, the elderly and the vulnerable this Christmas and right through the year. This Irish humanitarian instinct to help others shows no sign of waning in difficult times.
Few areas of public policy attract broad cross-party support. One of them is Ireland's solidarity with the poorest people of the world through our overseas aid programme funded by our taxes. It was uplifting to note that even in the run up to the doom-laden Budget this year, the opposition parties did not advocate a raid on the ODA budget.
From very modest beginnings in the 1970s, the Government aid programme has grown to reach a very respectable 0.52pc of our GNP this year.
This is well on the way to the target set for developed countries for aid of 0.7pc of GNP by the United Nations. Only a handful of countries have actually reached or exceeded that target.
This year the Budget was €639m; 2013 will see a modest cut to €623m. But there had been a cut of 30pc since 2008 reflecting the recession and the fall in our GNP.
A unique aspect of Irish aid is the partnership model: the poor country is in the driving seat of its own development. Our aid is focused on basic needs.
Immunisation programmes, primary school education and infant and maternal health programmes are a priority and we concentrate on the very poorest countries.
Given that 3.5 billion children still die each year from hunger, there has been a recent policy shift to allocate 20pc of the entire Irish aid budget on food security and hunger. This, of course, fits well with our own race memory of famine and starvation.
Recognising the need for accountability for taxpayers' money, Irish aid also goes towards helping to build up human rights, and for judicial and administrative systems to tackle corruption and improve the capacity of these new governments to run their own affairs.
People ask: does aid work? This writer is an aid optimist and there is plenty of evidence to show it does.
Millions have been lifted out of poverty; less people are dying due to improved life-expectancy; and there have been advances in maternal health and education.
Sub-Saharan Africa is now the fastest growing region in the world after Asia. There is an increasingly educated workforce and a growing middle class. Aid is incorporating trade and economic links. Some African countries have growth levels of 5pc and now depend on outside aid for only 10pc of their resources, as compared 50pc in the 1990s.
They are now accessing international finance, raising revenues from taxes and maximising natural resources. Also, there is now massive investment by the BRIC countries. So aid these days is only one instrument in the economic and social development of poor countries
A recent review of the white paper on aid revealed the changing context for international development. Global poverty is reducing and the world is on target to halve poverty by 2015.
Sub-Saharan Africa continues to bear the greatest poverty burden but there are real gains. Forty million more children are going to school today than in 2000.
Health programmes and vaccinations mean 12,000 fewer children are dying every day. Since 1990, 1.6 billion have gained access to clean drinking water. Malaria cases are down by over 50pc in 11 African countries.
We should be proud of these advances. As a country we are world leaders in the battle against global poverty. Even in our personal donations to charities we are notoriously generous.
Our peacekeepers are highly regarded the world over for their competence and compassion in conflict zones. We don't do wars. We do aid and peacekeeping. This is our main foreign affair. That we continue to do it in good times and bad is testament to our civilised values.

Liquorice Medicinal Importance and Documentation
Ancient manuscripts among the Egyptians, Greeks, American Indian, Chinese and Romans, dating back to the 3rd century document the evidence of the use of liquorice plants for its medicinal benefits. However, in Pontefract the use of the product can be referenced back to the 1500s.
Liquorice plants contain medical properties which include Vitamin E, B1, B2, B3, B6, B9 complex, Biotin, Lecithin, Manganese, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Phosphorus, Protein, Zinc and other trace elements.
It is believed to increases the production of protective mucus in the stomach and reduces acid secretion. Clinical trials have shown it to benefit Intestinal, Gastric and Bowel problems, Peptic and Duodenal Ulcers and reduce the gastric side effects of Arthritic drugs and Aspirin
As it supports the Adrenal Glands it can be useful for inflammatory conditions; e.g. Eczema and Shingles. It is known to encourage the production of the hormone hydrocortisone, and like cortisone can relieve Arthritic and Allergy symptoms without the side effects.
The juice is a natural Antibiotic and is used in ointment for Eczema, Psoriasis, Burns, Boils & Sores.
Many women used it to alleviate the symptoms of Menopause and Period Pains. It can also help restore natural steroid production after a course of medication and relieve Nervous Exhaustion.
The fluid extract is employed to disguise the bad taste of medicines, having the remarkable power to convert the acrid flavor of bitter drugs. The powdered root is used in pill making, because of its absorbent qualities.
From early written manuscripts, through to modern day medicines, it has played a major role in fighting upper respiratory illness, Coughs, Laryngitis, Sore Throats and Bronchitis.
Found in Medicines, Cough Lozenges and Pastels you are very likely to consume it in many of the preparations made for coughs and colds.
It can be as effective as codeine when used as a cough suppressant. Has a high mucilage content which sooths irritated mucous membrane, and as an expectorant will loosen your cough.
With the Japanese using it to treat Hepatitis the Chinese to treat Jaundice & Malaria, it has many medical applications in the Far East. Because of its high nutritive qualities it is also taken as a tonic and is highly valued all over the world for its therapeutic benefits for many digestive problems.
A word of caution, Liquorice has wonderful qualities but excessive quantities could cause water retention, hypertension and raise the blood pressure, and above all it is a Laxative.
As With All Good Things, Everything Is Needed In Moderation
Above is only a snapshot of the many medical conditions Liquorice is known to benefit. As it continues to evolve through time, cutting edge medicine is now looking at its use in;
- Cancer treatments, with research being carried out in Scotland and America.
- Clinical trials in Japan, into the treatment for AIDS.
- Research showing it can be eaten safely by Diabetic patients.
- Age related learning and memory loss, which Scientists in Scotland believe a drug derived from Liquorice can help.
And so it continues to grow.

"I sat down and I thought..."
He begins.
"There was a point in my career when things weren't going that great. Not that it was awful but I asked myself the question: why am I doing this? Have I produced anything that is definitively in my voice?
"And it came back to the complex relationship I had with my mother."
You Mean The World to Me is Saw Teong Hin's latest film, conceived in a script workshop at the end of 2008. He's trying to explain its gestation; born in one, effortful push, brought up around the world and, now, ready to meet it.
A flash of self-awareness: it's "semi-autobiographical," he says.
"I sat down one evening and wrote the script over two or three days, I wrote and wrote and wrote and wrote, it was really cathartic and after I managed to get some sleep I looked at it and half of it at least was garbage.
"Over the next six to nine months, I can't quite remember, I worked on it before knocking on doors."
He shopped his baby to potential investors. They thought it wasn't attractive enough. Family dramas weren't trending, they told him. "Worse, it was in Hokkien," adds Saw.
"There was interest out of Singapore and China but they wanted it in Mandarin, but I thought it might as well have been Tamil, because it (Mandarin) wasn't true to the context."
Saw was born and raised in Penang. He attended St Xavier's Institution for both his primary and secondary education and left Penang aged 20. He's lived in KL for the past 31 years. The Hokkien title of the film, Hai-Kinn Sin-Loo, is the name Victoria Street, where he grew up. The story: a Penang-born filmmaker Sunny (Frederick Lee) goes home to make a film about his family, as part of personal reckoning.
We detour into Saw's trenchant insistence on making a movie in Hokkien, the stuff of box office blockbusters not.
Penang Hokkien is distinctive; the assimilation of Malay and English (and thus Sanskrit, Tamil, Arab, Latin, etc); words in unique cadences, singsong, a bit Siamese?
"Correct. I stuck with the idea of the film in Hokkien because that is the way we communicated and so doing away with it was untenable.
"I was doing an audition for 10-year-old kids, over a hundred of them; most spoke mainly in Mandarin, only about 50 percent could speak Hokkien fluently. Shortly after that I came across an article that said dialects are going extinct because the future language of commerce is Mandarin."
Is Hokkien a dialect?
"My father used to read the Mandarin papers in Hokkien. Similarly, those here (in KL) would have read it in Cantonese...
"Language hard-wires our brains in a certain way."
The trend of Chinese dialect-extinction, at least Penang Hokkien, seems inexorable. The reality is a shedding of the island's historically cosmopolitan make-up once resonantly spoken by a bunch of stateless immigrants, exiles and their spawn.
"That would be a shame," he says.
"So I stuck to my guns and moved on to other projects until [Penang's] George Town Festival called [in 2014], and I proposed the idea of a Hokkien play and they loved the idea. It was very successfully staged at the Khoo Kongsi.
"The reassuring thing is that non-Chinese reviewers gave me my career-best reviews. Younger members of the audience were also very struck by the play. Two girls, early thirties, sat sobbing until the lights came on and were helped out by ushers."
In addition to Frederick Lee, other original members of that cast, Neo Swee Lin, John Tan, Yann Yann Yeo (latterly of Ilo Ilo fame) reprise their stage roles for the silver screen.
Sometime in 2009, Wouter Barendrecht and Michael Werner of Hong Kong and Netherlands-based Fortissimo Films visited Malaysia, threw a party and met Saw. Over dinner in Hong Kong, they introduced him to Christopher Doyle, the director of photography who helped Wong Kar Wai create his languid, sumptuous sensory feasts. Barendrecht recommended Doyle to work with Saw, who came back from Hong Kong "walking on air".
Barendrecht's clout with Doyle stemmed from his close collaboration with Wong on Chungking Express, Happy Together and In the Mood for Love. He was a doyen of the international film fest circuit and great advocate for indie cinema. Fortissimo threw its lot with the likes of Tsai Ming Liang and Apichatpong Weerasethakul earlier on. Bahrendrecht passed away suddenly a week later in Bangkok on April 5, aged 43. The stars had aligned but to amuse the gods. "Scuppered," says Saw at the memory.
Or so it seemed. Fortissimo filed for bankruptcy last year. In 2014, Astro Shaw came on board as investors and producers following the stage success at the George Town Festival.
Saw began to assemble his team, including, Leonard Tee (producer for Tsai Ming Liang), Liao Ching Song (editor, The Assassin), Hou Hsiao-Hsien (director, The Assassin), and Taiwan star Zhao Chuan (who sings the theme song, Kam Sia Lu (thank you)).
And Doyle was flown to Penang to begin his work on the film's trailer. He agreed to come despite there being no budget for his team. It was his first time in Malaysia, where improvisation is not unheard of.
Saw says he and Doyle bonded during the latter's initiation. "Things went along they were looking better than I imagined they could," he adds with a dash of understatement.
When Doyle had turned up in Penang, he brought out the script from a big ring binder, replete with sketches and notes. Saw describes his commitment as "complete immersion" and his rigour as a sharpening tool in aid of the director's vision. "Which is why I will not stop saying how generous this man is," he says.
"With Chris Doyle, you learn the rules in order to know how to break them… not continuity, not lighting, but the feeling and atmosphere a picture evokes. That's key for him."
Resentment is a creature of memory. What are we without our memories?
"It's a double-edged sword," says Saw. "It depends on what we choose to remember.
"Self-flagellation, if you like… This film is like my public apology to my mother and also my late brother.
"I learned to see my parents as people. When you see them as mum and dad there are certain unfair expectations. They're just human beings, trying their best.
"This film is my exorcism of the things that haunted me; writing, shooting the things that happened more than forty years ago."

How to Choose Multifunction Printers
Explore this Article Steps Ask a Question Related Articles References
Multifunction printers, also known as all-in-one printers, combine the functionality of a printer with that of a copier, scanner and fax machine, all in one compact unit. Multifunction printers are available as laser or inkjet models. Prices for multifunction printers vary depending on the features and capabilities of each model. Although multifunction printers tend to be larger than just a printer alone, you will ultimately have more room on your desk as you will only have 1 office machine instead of 4 taking up needed space. Having 1 office machine will ultimately cut down operating costs and save you money. There are many models available on the market to select from. Here are some helpful tips on how to choose multifunction printers.
1Assess your needs in determining what features you want in a multifunction printer. Consider what type of tasks you will be using it for. Usage needs will be a primary factor in deciding how much money you will be spending on a unit.
- Will the multifunction printer be used in the workplace or will the purchase primarily be for use at home? If you work at home, you will be using a multifunction printer more often than if the unit is just needed for occasional personal use.
2Evaluate the specifications relative to the particular tasks that you will use your multifunction printer for. If your job involves working with images and photos then a multifunction printer with a high resolution is a necessary feature.
- Both laser and inkjet multifunction printers have the capability to print in color as well as black and white. Laser models tend to be more expensive but are able to print black and white text at a much faster rate per minute then the smaller, inkjet models. If your needs entail printing a large quantity of black and white documents and you need a fast turnaround, then consider getting the laser multifunction printer.
- Understand that the larger multifunction printers that cost more usually have components that can handle the stress of ongoing, continuous use similar to commercial machines used in a traditional office with many employees. This is why the larger units generally have a higher capacity to handle more tasks, more efficiently, more quickly and more often.
3Read reviews for multifunction printers to get a comparative side-by-side analysis of various models. Browse through the reviews to learn which brands perform better and are more reliable over a period of time and continued usage.
4Visit several office supply stores to do some comparison shopping and get a hands-on look at the many features available in multifunction printers. Most of these retail stores usually have several models on display with a list of features prominently displayed.
5Watch the daily and weekly sales flyers so that you can get a good price on a multifunction printer. Office technology stores usually have sales on a regular basis, offer rebates and are good choice for a purchase as their employees are trained and knowledgeable about the many products that they sell.

My Top 4 Favorite Actors Of All Time
Between award shows, entertainment news, and the fame, it's easy to believe an actor's life is glamorous and easy. The truth is, though, the job of an actor is difficult and sometimes grueling — famous or not. Many actors work second jobs and live in small space so they can have a shot at what they love. Aside from the physical difficulty, actors can also face an emotional strain in order to achieve the best performance they can. Acting is an art form and I have a deep respect for those who work in the profession because of their talents and personal sacrifices which affect so many. To somehow determine my favorite actors (the question no one wants to answer because it's just too much too difficult) my measurement is based solely in their on-screen performance.
4. Andrew Lincoln
Andrew Lincoln is a British actor who really stands out to me. Although he's appeared in other movies, his breakout role in The Walking Dead is definitely my favorite. It seems like his performance in each episode keeps getting better and better. His ability to display emotions through facial expressions or body language alone is one of the reasons he his on my favorites list. Lincoln's ability to show emotion, whether it's sadness, anger or happiness, comes through the screen undeniably well. He really makes the audience feel what he feels.
3. Jake Gyllenhaal
Jake Gyllenhaal has appeared in a number of great movies such as Donnie Darko, Zodiac, Nightcrawler, Prisoners and Southpaw. Gyllenhaal has demonstrated great emotional depth and excellent performances in each of these movies. In Nightcrawler, he flat out gave me the creeps — It was a phenomenal performance. I love that I can watch him being witty and funny in one movie, then witness him being completely dramatic in another. He is so believable and seems to be very charismatic in his roles. It's this depth that separates him from other actors and makes him outstanding to watch on screen.
2. Leonardo DiCaprio
Having just won his first Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role (finally) in The Revenant, Leonardo DiCaprio should be on everyone's top list of actors. One of my favorite DiCaprio performances is when he played the special needs brother of Gilbert Grape in What's Eating Gilbert Grape. DiCaprio's performance was just as good, if not better, than his co-star, Johnny Depp. DiCaprio was nominated for an Academy Award for his portrayal of Arnie Grape. His performance in Django Unchained was outstanding. DiCaprio played a slave owner in that film, which is far from what I've ever seen him play before. There were even reports of him feeling bad on set for having to say such cruel and racist remarks. His diverse roles showcase the exact reason he's on my list.
1. Christian Bale
My list wouldn't be complete without the phenomenal method actor, Christian Bale. Other than playing the best Batman ever, he has appeared in a wide range of films where he displays amazing emotion and dedication. Bale went as far as to lose an astonishing amount of weight for his role in The Machinist — he lost over 60 pounds and weighed right around 120 pounds. If that wasn't drastic enough, he then had to gain weight to play Batman in Batman Begins. Bale also gave a really creepy performance as Patrick Bateman in American Psycho. That's the mix of dedication and emotional depth that has led this method actor to such great success.
Being an actor takes practice, determination and patience — and so much more. These actors, as well as countless others, have truly mastered the craft of acting and gifted us all with their talents.
Juan Vasquez III is 28-year-old from in Karnes City, Texas. Jay is doing his part in spreading the Word of God by excelling as a Digital Marketing apprentice at the Center for Creative Media. He enjoys superhero/action movies, comics, and playing basketball on his spare time.

(In 2016 Apocalypse was revived by the Danish Radio Vocal Ensemble at three concerts in Copenhagen and was broadcast by Danish Radio).
In 2015 the quintet Strike was performed in Hong Kong and York and the saxophone quartet Swan was revived in London by the Lunar Sax Quartet. Premieres included Batubulan for solo piano, Art of War for soprano, oboe and bass trombone, and Public Order for concert band and tape.
His violin solo Rough Cut has been published by UYMP and received its first London performance in February 2016 given by Peter Sheppard-Skaerved; in July Late Music presented the premiere of Breathless, composed for the Orichalcum Brass Quintet. 2017 saw the premiere of his song cycle The Dark Gate, based on words by David Vogel who died at Auschwitz in 1944.
David's current projects include a large-scale music-theatre piece based on medieval murals at Pickering Church, and a piece for soloists, chorus and orchestra commissioned by Oxford Harmonic Choir.
In 2016 he completed PhD in Composition at the University of York with Roger Marsh.
Dr David Lancaster is Director of Music at York St John University, and is Artistic Director of York's Late Music concert series.

My emotions are like knitted cables, weaving appropriately through the seed stitch of my life, but sometimes my emotions are like tangled cables. I'm taking inventory of the past week. . . .
Joy- This week John turned 66 years old; we celebrated his day with our grandchildren at the children's museum. He loved it! My husband describes himself. . . an old man who rides his bicycle like the wind!
Longing- This week my sweet friend moved away, far away. Sometimes God blesses us with an uncommon friendship- then we exclaim, "Thank you God! this friendship is from you!" My friend is gone from sight and there's a hole. . .
Pleasure- This week I've been looking at tutorials- how to make a wedding veil. Mercy will marry Samuel in August. . . lots of emotion but mainly pleasure!
Uncertainty- This week there were moments when my life seemed undefined. . . . How do I do this new season? Every day I tell myself (as I readily remind others), "Heart, you are in Christ." And day after day I fight to bring truth close, truth that remembers my identity is in Christ.
Delight- This week I got a text from Anna, "Mrs. Newton, is this you? Are you in town, I've missed you!" Ahh, the delight of an unexpected coffee with this sweet girl. Anna's mother is in heaven-- and I'm certain she would delight her mother's heart.
Disappointment- This week I've asked myself, "Heart, why are you disappointed?" Unraveling the event of disappointment from the emotion, I'm pursuing good fruit, "Lord, I want my emotion to grow in the soil of love and faith, producing contentment and gracious forbearance- and Lord, I need you!"
Sadness and Wonder- Last week Elisabeth Elliot went to heaven- even though we never met she impacted my life over decades. She taught me to embrace biblical womanhood, to find satisfaction and beauty in my role. I still hear her words:
Let God be God. . . in acceptance there is peace. . . Trust God and obey Him!
So, on the day Elisabeth Elliot died I had a good cry for the wonder of a life lived well and a Savior worshiped.
So, I wonder- how can a mountain of emotion crowd into one soul in a gathering of days? These good emotions are a gift from the God who created me in his image, reminding me that I'm alive! I'm all too aware of the tangles but ever grateful He's at hand, always.
