The Love Cells EP is coming out on May 20 on Belts and Whistles. The new EP comes out hot on the heels of the Scary Love Monster EP which has already garnered critical acclaim.
"Scary Love Monster" presents us with six unpredictable tracks (that's a trendy adjective in these Trumpish days, isn't it?), fluctuating between pop, weird jazz, dark lyrics and brainy experimentation at times reminiscent of Brian Eno's early records… —NYC Deli
She's making music that stands alongside the great work from the likes of PJ Harvey, Arthur Russell, Kate Bush and Bjork. I truly believe that. That's not to say she sounds like any of them – but it's that sort of vision, that determination, the willingness to be out on your own and making music that you believe in first and foremost…
You'll hear some of the best pop melodies too. As it just so happens. But you'll hear music from the Gamelan and classical worlds, from jazz and the worlds of dance and theatre as much as music.– The Dominion Post
Where Scary Love Monster warns of the perils of love in Grimm's fashion, Love Cells speaks from the mundane 9-5 romantic love to the most abstract forms of love. The title track Love Cells signifies that we are all created out of vibration, light and love: "love yourself, each sacred atom of the world is connected to you." From the intimate laptop recording moments of a cappella Je T'aime… to afrofuturist The City and the Voodoo Lady, a tribute to the city of New York and Mingus' The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady… to the perverse post-colonial love of Horror in Black and White: "Did I bomb your village? Could I set you free?"
Love Cells EP new release on all major digital stores through Belts and Whistles — out May 20
Limited CD reversible edition of Scary Love Monster EP/Love Cells EP and web portal — The Love EPs — out May 20

Tea with the PKK
Mountains of Northern Iraq. South Kurdistan
The PKK fighters observe a strict ideology about social life. Friendship is welcome among genders as female and male are equal at all levels. Unions are forbidden regardless of gender and love is sublimated and directed towards leader - father - Abdullah Ocalan and the dream of a free, united Kurdistan.
On March 25 2013, PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan, declared a unilateral ceasefire with Turkey from the jail where is detained. The conditions to this truce were the release of political prisoners in Turkey's and civil and cultural liberties for the Kurdish people in South East Turkey. During the summer of 2013 there has been a great movement of troops leaving Turkey and pouring into Northern Iraq, where they stationed and later gradually left to fight elsewhere.

In 1969, Pat Patterson on the air for six decades begins his Raleigh, NC radio career on Top 40 WKIX-850. Over the years, Triangle listeners hear Pat's voice on Country WQDR FM (94.7) and Sports WDNC-620, but his audience remembers him best for his time on Top 40 WKIX-850, which is now Oldies WPTK -850. Patterson's early-morning program is famous for his skits in between his music. On Sunday, January 15, 2017 legendary Raleigh, NC personality Pat Patterson passes away at 81.

After the O'Reilly Factor, we no longer have to race to flip the channel because Megyn Kelly flees to NBC. Now, Tucker Carlson brightens up our lives with relevant news of the day.
Tucker Carlson Tonight, which replaces Kelly's prime time slot, hikes up the ratings game to incredible heights.
In his debut week, Carlson delivers increases in viewers of 10% overall and 12% in popular demographic. Compared to Kelly's audience one year ago, Carlson is up 21% overall plus 52% in the same demographic.
In Dallas, TX, KHKS FM (106.1 KISS FM) rules the Top 40 radio roost. Goodbye to KVIL FM's 56-year-old AC format in D-FW as it flips to CHR on Wednesday, January 18, 2017. Heritage CBS Radio KVIL FM (103.7) evolves from Adult-Contemporary to CHR with several on air changes. As KVIL FM flips to More Hits 103.7 and downplays its legendary KVIL FM call letters, midday personality Leigh Ann Adams exits. KVIL FM also pulls the curtain down on the Kannon and Sybil Music Mornings Show.
As we previously report, this week, Norway begins to replace analog FM radio with DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) which is widespread in Europe as an FM replacement. Is the US next to ditch FM radio? The biggest advantage of FM and AM radio is that they are free to us listeners – but drat those doggone commercials. Most FM listeners appear to be in cars. If FM disappears, how will we replace it? Please share your thoughts with us at email@example.com.

JACK PARNELL [ex PD/DJ WHBQ-560] (Memphis, TN) Hello Jim: I never did go to any actual radio course…we had a school here in Memphis in which some of our guys taught. I believe it would have taken me longer to learn how to get rid of my southern accent if I had gone to take radio courses. Even before I even thought about getting into radio, I began carefully listening to the radio guys when I was around 6 years old. I would notice their lack of accent, and try and imitate them. I was heavily interested in radio and even public speaking, or especially learning how to speak clearly, etc. My parents and my siblings, who were much older than I, told me that I began actually talking CLEARLY at the age of 6 months. I even had people who knew me from infancy who told me they wondered what I was going to become, since I would from infancy speak very clearly.

DON SUNDEEN [DJ/Hi Records promotion/TV ad production] (Dallas, TX) Jim your piece on the shutting down of Ringling Bros Circus really stuck a chord. When I was about 12-13 they came to my town and Western New York, and I skipped school and went to where they were unloading the train. I was too small to participate in raising the tent, so I was assigned to unpack the 'Freak Show.' It was a wonderful experience and I learned that those 'freaks' were just people who had been born that way, and very sweet. I had a great time until I got home and found very unhappy parents who wondered where I was. your friend don (www.thedonrocks.com) / (https://www.facebook.com/ OfficialTheDonRocksPage) / Twitter: @TheRealDonRocks

I'm assuming this is what everyone but me felt like last year when they listened to Drake's "So Far Gone". By no means will this get the buzz the Drake tape got, at least not now. The two tapes are similar, they're both hipstery, rapping/singing, genre-hopping, "emo-raps". The difference I guess is that Coolroy seems to come off as a more backpacker, underground version of Drake. There's no "Best I Ever Had" potential, no superstar guests, like Lil' Wayne, but I can definitely see a buzz building from this tape. As the title and by Coolroy's own suggestion, the mixtape is something to chill out to. You can definitely tell this guy is from the West Coast. If I had to describe it, It's probably what Shwayze (remember that guy "Buzzin" ,"Corona & Lime", that Malibu rapper who never combed his hair & hung around Cisco Alder on that awful reality show on MTV like 2 years ago) was going for, but failed horribly.
Anyway, For the most part the mixtape, production-wise is full of laid back 90's esque beats and samples, with a few detours, which actually seem to be common these days thanks to Drake & Kid Cudi. "E.T. L" is the now pre-requisite rapper making a electro-pop autotune song, but as far as those go, I've heard worse. "Burn" is the "at one time considered pushing the envolope cover of an alternative rock song", this time by Pink Floyd. Which has been done by Lupe, Cudi, Drake, even Kanye covered Tears for Fears on 808's. "Red Pumps" and "Never Over" are the attempts to liven the tape up, but really just ruin things. The only change in pace that really works is "My Girl", it's sounds like what Shwayze's first cd could've spawned if he had talent. If there was a "Best I Ever Had" on the tape, this would be it. Other than that, the other of the 17 songs are consistent good lyrics and a show of Coolroy's impressive everyday man storytelling ability. What guy can't relate to "30 Seconds"…c'mon. Then, songs like "The Feeling" and "The Adventures of Charlie Tuna" really hit home. I really enjoyed this mixtape. Yeah, he pretty much took what already existed and repackaged it to his own image, but the end product really is more than the sum of its parts.
8/10: Listen to: "30 Seconds", "The Feeling", and "My Girl"
Avoid: "Burn", "Red Pumps", and "Never Over"

Why Are Fitting Rooms So Awful?
Stores Try To Beautify Spaces, 'Seduce' Shoppers to Buy More With Better Lighting, Mirrors, Design
You spot a gorgeous dress on a hanger and, hopes high, make your way to the fitting room.
It's downhill from there. The door doesn't fully shut, the lighting makes you look ill and the frock looks frumpy in a mirror fit for a fun house.
The retail dressing room can be a total sales killer....

With a null pointer constant.
According to the language definition, an ``integral constant expression with the
value 0'' in a pointer context is converted into a null pointer at compile
time. That is, in an initialization, assignment, or comparison when one side is
a variable or expression of pointer type, the compiler can tell that a constant
0 on the other side requests a null pointer, and generate the correctly-typed null
pointer value. Therefore, the following fragments are perfectly legal:
char *p = 0;
if(p != 0)
However, an argument being passed to a function is not necessarily recognizable
as a pointer context, and the compiler may not be able to tell that an unadorned
0 ``means'' a null pointer. To generate a null pointer in a function call
context, an explicit cast may be required, to force the 0 to be recognized as a
pointer. For example, the Unix system call execl takes a variable-length, null-pointer-terminated
list of character pointer arguments, and is correctly called like this:
execl("/bin/sh", "sh", "-c", "date", (char
If the (char *) cast on the last argument were omitted, the compiler would not know
to pass a null pointer, and would pass an integer 0 instead. (Note that many Unix
manuals get this example wrong; When function prototypes are in scope, argument
passing becomes an ``assignment context,''

"The chalice of benediction which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? And the bread which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord? For we, being many, are one bread, one body: all that partake of one bread." (1 Cor 10:16-17)

Jesus washed the feet of his disciples and the Last Supper
The readings for Holy Thursday cite two different acts of Jesus that evening before Gethsemane: the institution of the Eucharist, and the washing of his disciples' feet. The first is obviously important when you accept the Eucharist as a sacrament. The second is not so obvious, but praying about it, I can offer some thoughts. The obvious significance is two-fold: humility and service, but there seems to be more. In the opening verses, we are told that Jesus was aware that the hour had come: he was soon departing out of this world to the Father, and he who loved his own -- his disciples -- in this world would now show how perfect his love was. One translation says that "he loved them to the end." Here is Jesus preparing to leave, but his disciples would have a long way yet to walk this life, in this world. They have been prepared previously, washed and thus "clean all over" as he tells Peter who wanted to be washed all over. Jesus points out that only his feet now needs washing. Why? I think it's about the journey. Just as they need food to sustain them, they need to wash the dust and dirt off their feet. Getting them dirty is inevitable along the way, just as are the scars, wounds and even the corruption of the world that opposes Christ. We need to clean them up as soon as we're aware of them, and who better to notice than someone else, an objective party who can see what you cannot. This service is also part of communion. So, food for the journey in the Eucharist, and washing the dust off one another in the meantime. Jesus makes these provisions in his compassion because he knows we'll need them, and like a good parent, he prepares his children not only to do this for themselves but, more importantly, to do this for one another. To me, this means not only the receiving the Eucharist, but celebrating the Eucharist as a community, within which we can serve one another, such as in encouraging one another, instructing one another and providing spiritual direction: a one-on-one ministering in the interior life and apostolate. I am grateful to have a director, and hope to serve others likewise if they'll have me, but I don't know if I am ready yet.

Relativism: pulling the rug from under truth
At least that's what seems to be the case in this story about Sister Jane Laurel, OP. What happens when a Catholic nun, a highly qualified teacher of the faith, expounds on that faith as had been taught by the Church for ages? Apparently, with enough of the audience having picked and chosen which parts of the faith they subscribe to (read: relativism), there is an uproar. Why? Because it's every Catholic for himself or herself, apparently. They believe only what they want to believe, which is ridiculous in the Catholic faith.
Well done, Sister Jane and Bishop Jurgis. Fr. Z is right: if we are to be faithful to Christ, we are in for a fight. Since the problem is so much falsehood, it makes sense to wield the singular weapon of Truth. Sadly, it is an in-house fight to begin with, delaying the fight which should be taken out there instead.

Nabuchadnezzar: pride distorts us
If you refuse to worship it, you will be thrown into the fiery furnace; and where is the god who can save you from my power? An outsider will see how ludicrous this statement is. Yes, the king has immense power, but even then, he would know that he not a god -- until a certain insanity sets in. It is called pride. It is an insanity that brings about delusions of grandeur, and the danger is that it is built on falsehood, a distortion of one's assessment of self. These words infuriated King Nebuchadnezzar; his expression was very different now.. in other times, this king seemed reasonable enough, but injured pride, especially for one holding such a distorted self-estimation.. He throws a kingly tantrum. Such is pride. The scary thing is that, along with other virtues, we don't seem to instill humility in our children anymore. Being nice, yes. Humble, no? Humble is seen as backward and harmful, when in fact, being humble (based on truth) is being honest. And don't get me started on truthfulness...

Nature and Grace
Book 2, Chapter 54 of The Imitation of Christ, contrasts sharply what it refers to as "nature" and grace. The former cannot be contrasted thus, as something oppositional to grace, if it was something that God created. As one of my favorite writers, Mark Shea, would point out, the human nature that God established from the beginning was good. The problem is sin, because it perverted humanity, so that sin makes us gravitate away from God. I would join Mark in saying that the sins we commit are not due to our human nature, for that which God created was entirely designed to cooperate with grace. It's the gaping wound to human nature that gets us, but let us never forget that God made us good to begin with. That is who we are meant to be.

Are you sure?
This action might not be possible to undo. Are you sure you want to continue?
Ho was a revered sensei, but when his dismissive arrogance caused the death of a beloved student, he renounced not only his possessions but also his role as master, and now roams the streets in search of a way to atone. Drawn by his presence, a group forms around him: Michael, an addicted gambler who has lost everything, including himself; Ranger, a Vietnam veteran with a tenuous grip on reality; Lamont, a once-fearless street-gang warlord turned hopeless alcoholic; Target, a relentless "clanger" who speaks only by echoing the sounds of others; and Brewster, an obsessive collector of hardboiled paperbacks he stashes in an abandoned building that even vermin avoid.
Late one night, Michael spots a woman in a white Rolls-Royce throwing something into the river. Convinced that the woman is a perfect blackmail target, he attempts to recruit the others to search for her. But news that Brewster's library is slated for demolition turns this halfhearted effort into a serious mission to find the ultimate problem-solver: money, and with it a new home for Brewster's precious collection.
Each frantic knock opens another barred door as the building's destruction draws nearer. And the answers to each man's questions trigger shocking explosions that hit you with all the visceral power we have come to expect from this fierce and dynamic writer.

Tanggam is the Malaysian Online Architectural Students Community. Formerly exclusive to students of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Tanggam now consists of not only the current architectural students in Malaysia, but also alumni, academicians and practicing architects.
Tanggam is managed by the Department of Architecture, Faculty of Built Environment, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. This community also functions as an extension of UTM's design studio in the virtual environment, primarily allowing students to expand their horizons and aid their journey through architectural education.
Tanggam is actually a Malay word for timber joint. Traditionally, Malay architecture depends highly on timber as the main building block. Before the use of nails or bolts, timber post and beams are joined together using a tongue-and-groove joint system. This allows two or more timber parts to be joined together without the need of additional aid. This unique system formed the basis of Malay timber architecture.
The community adopts this name due to its meaning in both Malay and English. Joint, in English, also means a meeting place. The rest is history.

Like Gun Loco, Mindjack is a third-person action game from Square Enix. While Gun Loco took the don't-stop-to-think, non-stop-action route, Mindjack is more strategic, forcing the player to slow down and plan their next move.
At a recent Square Enix event, I got to watch a few minutes of the game being played and to jot down some impressions of the preview build. The game won't be available until Q1 2011, so it's still under development. It will be on the PS3 and Xbox 360.
Mindjack takes place in a future society where everyone wears some sort of headpiece, sort of like a Bluetooth headset. The problem with this is that terrorists have found a way to hack the headsets and control people, turning them into "mind slaves". You play as a cop who has to take down those terrorists, but, in a questionable ethical move, you use the same mind control techniques.
The game features the third-party running and cover-based shooting that you'd expect from the genre, but there is a special technique you employee–mindhacking. This is what lets you make your own mind slaves, as well as control robots.
Playing as a cop you can jack into both civilians and enemies and fight from their bodies. This makes anyone in the game a combatant and it means you can place you main character's body out of harm's way while some unfortunate citizen gets riddled with bullets in your place. To get from your body to someone else's you enter a "wander" mode there you float to the desired target (it reminded me of a no-clipping cheat mode).
Your player level will limit how far away you can mindhack people from and how long you can control them, but you can level up attributes over time.
Mindjack also feature a special bit of tech–persistant multiplayer in the single player environment. This works like it did with Demon's Souls, so other people can hop into your game (if your settings allow for that). These new players will alternate between helping you and fighting against you. Why would they want to play in someone's game? Well you can gain experience, extend the game after you beat it, and then, it seems, make the game harder for complete strangers.
What's cool is they you don't just mindjack people in the game, but also robots. And if you play in someone else's game you can can hop into bosses, which have unique control schemes. So rather than just being another bad guy you can, say, be a giant robot gorilla, which is definitely a change of pace from the standard game.
Based on the short demo I saw, I'm not sold. The mindhacking techniques seem like they will grow tiring after using them a few times, and I didn't get to see the multiplayer or bosses, so everything seemed a bit bland. It's entirely possible that those extra elements are going to allow the game to reach its potential though, so I'm going to make sure to check out more footage as it becomes available. The multiplayer-in-singleplayer could be awesome, so the might be what sets this one apart from the competition.

Dealing with the Impact of an Autism Diagnosis
Finding out your child has autism is very difficult. No one can tell you that the road ahead will be easy. You may have to rewrite the script of your child's life (and your own). You have a whole new set of issues, pressures, and decisions to deal with now. And people around you may not understand or appreciate the depth of what you're going through.
Important first steps include allowing yourself to process the diagnosis and then motivating yourself to take action. Early intervention is vital because the brain has its greatest plasticity during the early stages of the disorder's development.
Coming to terms with an autism diagnosis
Some parents describe learning that their child is autistic as a kind of death. "It felt like a death sentence — all our hopes and dreams about his future changed in a day," remembers one mother (who has since been named "Autism Parent of the Year").
And although a verdict of death for your child, yourself, or anyone's education is a big stretch, a diagnosis of autism does change your family's life. It requires a period of bereavement and the acknowledgement that life will never be the same. Finding out you have a disability or that you have to parent a child with one is a life-changing, momentous event, and you need to work through it.
You're not weak if you seek out help to deal with the emotional impact, nor should you feel guilty about the various negative emotions you experience during the process. It's normal to feel angry, sad, or hopeless at first. However, you don't want to allow this to paralyze you. If your emotions interfere with your ability to function or to help your child, you need more support. You shouldn't try to go it alone.
Parent support groups are godsends for the people who belong to them. Your peers in the group may not have answers for your child's situation, but they're going through similar struggles and they'll listen and offer feedback. Even if you don't consider yourself a "joiner," going to only one meeting may convince you that a support group is a worthwhile investment of your time.
Taking action for your autistic child
Autism isn't curable, but an approach or collection of approaches can lessen the more severe effects of the disorder, allowing a person on the autism spectrum and his or her family to lead a fulfilling and productive life.
Because of the great diversity in the autism spectrum, each child has different needs. You need to take steps immediately to determine which intervention(s) works best for your child and locate persons who can provide that intervention such as an allergist, an immunologist, a gastroenterologist, or a nutritionist. And because your child's needs tend to change over time, you need to constantly monitor his or her progress and work closely with your doctors.
Avoiding autism-related scams
After an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis, parents and other family members are often in shock and denial about their child's condition. This mindset puts you in an extremely vulnerable position. In this state, you very well may be willing to do whatever it takes to "cure" your child's autism. You're frantically looking for help, which means you're susceptible to accept it from people who don't have your child's best interests at heart.
You need to be aware of hoaxes; false, deceptive, and/or misleading advertising; and promises that a particular treatment is "the cure." Of course, parents naturally want to explore all the possibilities. But if a treatment seems too good to be true, it probably is. If a treatment seems too far out, it probably is. If a doctor seems too expensive, she probably is.
Here are some helpful hints to avoid the scam artists and avoid being taken advantage of:
Don't just spend whatever it takes. Just because you're willing to spend the money doesn't mean your child will get better. Be prepared to spend money, but spend wisely. Bankrupting your family won't help your child.
This advice goes for seeking medical help as well. Paying exorbitant charges or fees for services isn't the norm among respectable healthcare professionals' practices. Stay away from providers who double or even triple charge for what an office visit or test would cost!
Doctor shop. Look around for medical professionals; you don't have to go with the first one you meet. Ask your primary care physician for multiple referrals or recommendations during the diagnostic process. Interviewing healthcare providers is an excellent way to get a feel about how they run their practices.
Seriously consider the ramifications of uprooting your family just to get the desired professional help in another city or state. Some treatments require travel, but try to find comparable treatment close to home whenever possible.
Don't let anyone guilt you into a treatment. You should be battling the autism disorder, not any people butting in to lend their two cents.
Don't be humiliated or shamed into thinking that you owe a particular treatment to your child. With help and feedback from doctors and your child, it's up to you to know what's best for his or her treatment.
Watch out for anyone who claims to be "an expert in the biology of autism," anyone who charges exorbitant fees (including doctors!), and anyone who says that he or she has the cure for autism. To date, there is no known absolute cure. You must rely on treatments that can lead to the reduction of autistic behaviors and toward recovery.

Cape Town turned out to be quite the vortex. After two weeks spiralling closer and closer to the eye, Johan pulled us out of the water and into his Freelander 2. From there we made it along the coast to Jeffrey's Bay without a scratch. Or a stab wound, as so many were sure we would acquire. Then again, it is early days. We may be stabbed thoroughly yet.
The wave at Jeffrey's has been so heavily mythologised the place no longer seems real. Though I can assure you, it is real. As real as an abandoned water park. As real as salty dreadlocks. As real as Billabong jeans slipping over cracked heels. As real as Fox hat beanies and surfboard letterboxes. At a time when the surf industry is supposedly floundering, there are no signs of struggle in Jeffrey's. In fact, this place might be single-handedly keeping surf brands alive.
One does not have to look hard to find a scaly sea dog smoking a scoobie. Some of the locals here would smoke Nimbin folk under the bong-covered coffee table. "My eyes are stained red from the stiff south-easterlies," they say as they slide their mull tin under the car seat.
Some of the locals are placid. Some are aggressively territorial. Tom had a run-in with some disgruntled men on our second day here.
"I jumped off the point, paddled straight out to where everyone was sitting," he said
"I didn't really barge in, just sat at the back of the pack and was going to wait my turn and just instantly got bailed up by like three guys who told me to get the fuck down the point.
"Who did I think I was? Sitting up there with them. A bit of localism."
Nobody warned us about any localism before we came here but it is clearly present.
How many people warned us about sharks before we came? Many, yet the only sharks we've heard of have been at home.
No stabbings, no shark attacks, no water shortage. Safe to say we are immune to Africa's deadly threats.
Then again, it is early days.

5 top tips for a professional character performance
Mark Velvick is a talented costume performer based in the south of England. Mark, through his company The Toony Bin, he has played a wide range of characters from football mascots to well-known children's characters. In his second blog, Mark shares with us his top 5 tips for a professional character performance:
You may already know how to be a costumed performer but are you fun and friendly or lifeless and boring? There's a difference between being a character and being a good character. Here are 5 ideas to improve your performance.
You're not playing musical statues unless you are.
Unless you are actually playing musical statues or posing for a photo, one of the worst things to do is stand still for long periods of time or just look like you have no enthusiasm. It can be tough doing 30 to 40-minute stints in a big bulky costume but even if you're just wiggling about and waving it's better than standing still. Look around for people coming close and make sure to exaggerate your motion. Waving is one thing but you really need to 'wave'. Give it bags of energy or it won't really translate to the people around you.
Know your limits.
Only you can know your personal limits but it's not until you put the costume on for the first time that you really find them. Try to arrive at an event early if you've never worn the costume before and see if you can get time to practice walking, bending and jumping (if possible). Costumes are restrictive and it's hard to know how much until you're finally in it. Trying to offer a high five or a hug and finding you can't move your arms far enough to do either properly can make things awkward for everyone involved and not knowing how big the costume is can lead to other problems entirely.
Know the character.
This is very important. If the character is established, do some research. Whether you're performing for charity or as a copyrighted character, you need to know their gestures and actions. Wearing a ninja turtle costume and frolicking about like a fairy isn't going to go down well. If the character is new, are they male, female, fat or skinny? Do they look cute, inquisitive, tough or angry? You need to be able to bring that character to life and make them believable, so knowing the personality beforehand can be a big help.
Strike a pose.
When it comes to having your picture taken, the same pose over and over again gets boring very quickly. Practice several easy poses you can strike at a moment's notice or see about getting the people taking part to strike one with you. It might be tricky to get their attention in the beginning but keep trying and eventually, you'll get the hang of it. Keep the poses family friendly and try to take the character you're playing into consideration. After all, a Power Ranger won't be doing a standard thumbs up, add some action to it and think 'martial arts'.
Ham it up.
Be active, be playful and exaggerate everything. You're there to help people have a good time but there's nothing that says you can't have one yourself. Interact with people, if at a fairground try playing the games or going on the rides. Interact with props around you and point to things in an over the top manner. Dance to any and all music that's playing. Pose in random locations to give people photo opportunities they wouldn't normally get. Make everything a game, just never take things too far.

The 2012 list of the 25 most popular passwords has been published. If yours is on the list, you may want to consider changing it.
Perhaps the greatest risk to a computer's security is the laziness of the user. That at least seems to be the case after reviewing a list of 2012´s most popular passwords. Despite websites urging users to pick unique and often lengthy passwords, and despite it being well known that a complex password is paramount to protecting an account, it seems that people are just horribly predictable and lazy anyway.
SplashData, a company dedicated to mobile productivity and security solutions, has compiled the list, which is composed of the 25 most popular passwords from this year. The passwords, which were ranked by number of occurrences, were grabbed from thousands of stolen passwords which had been published online. This, naturally, shows that the more popular and predictable passwords are ultimately unsafe.
"password" is not a good password, surprise surprise…
A similar list was published last year, and unfortunately, not much has changed. "password" still ranks as the most popular password, and apart from a few additions, such as "jesus" and "password1" (for those services which require numbers in their passwords), it all looks pretty much the same. The list is replicated below. If you happen to spot yours in there, go ahead and pick something a little more original.
1. password
2, 123456
3. 12345678
4. abc123
5. qwerty
6. monkey
7. letmein
8. dragon
9. 111111
10. baseball
11. iloveyou
12. trustno1
13. 1234567
14. sunshine
15. master
16. 123123
17. welcome
18. shadow
19. ashley
20. football
21. jesus
22. michael
23. ninja
24. mustang
25. password1

Living Light is part of the church in Taunton and Wellington.
In September 2014 we established our first Hub at the Old School Building – Gipsy Lane, Bishops Hull in Taunton.
This is a spacious, light and modern space. We run our regular coffee mornings, discos and craft sales from this venue and recently opened up a crafts workshop at the rear of the premises. We also have a sensory garden and polytunnel on this site and a fantastic, full sized professional catering kitchen. Everyone tends to meet first thing at this base and then goes off to access the various community activities we support each day.

text: The new Atomic Vantage 90 CTI W is a top women's model in our re-engineered Vantage ski series – our lightest, strongest progressive all-mountain series ever. It grips like a high-performance piste ski, but has a progressive look and feel. It also features Carbon Tank Mesh, a new layer of super rigid, woven mesh that adds strength across the ski while actually reducing weight. That's on top of a Titanium Backbone 2.0 that ensures exceptional running stability. It's the first ski to feature the Firewall, an extra full sidewall for awesome power transmission and edge grip. The Light Woodcore and All Mountain Rocker deliver killer performance across the mountain, while the greater directional shape and less tail turn up compared to the 14/15 series, takes the ski's piste performance to the next level.

A Versatile Tool to Have on the Job
1. Pending Notes
A magnetic whiteboard is useful for all those invoices and memos that you aren't yet sure how to file. It won't let you forget important documents in the middle of a chaotic workday, and it will also keep them from cluttering up your desk or inbox.
2. Scheduling
Never again forget an appointment when you have a whiteboard scribbled with names, dates and times. Never again miss a deadline. You won't even need a personal assistant when you keep track of everything yourself.
3. Drafting
A whiteboard is an excellent way to scribble ideas, formulate plans and refine strategies that aren't quite ready to be set in stone. You can edit and editorialize at will, and whenever anything isn't working, you can just wipe it away.
4. Message Boards
If the office network is always on the fritz, consider going old school with messages written in longhand. Everyone on your floor will be able to communicate quickly and effectively, and as a bonus, a whiteboard will also add a personal touch to information exchanges.
5. Motivational Ideas
Are you susceptible to midday slumps? Would it help if you had inspiration to keep working hard right in front of you? A whiteboard can be a powerful motivational tool when covered with quotes and images that fire up your spirit and improve your productivity.
6. Daily Tasks
If you have trouble juggling all of your everyday responsibilities, a whiteboard will keep you organized by providing a platform for reminders, checklists, tallies and other important self-memos. It can also keep you ahead of quotas and project itineraries.
7. Presentations
You don't need PowerPoint to give a great speech. A whiteboard can double as your visual aid just as well, and you won't be limited by the linear and structured templates of digital software. Draw freely, sketch openly and squiggle your lines as much as you'd like.
If you're ready to take your office to the next level, these are just seven ways to boost your brainstorming and optimize your business meetings by using whiteboards. Happy innovating!

If you are enthusiastic about marketing, advertising communications or promoting, this course is ideal. You would usually describe and supply financial justification for the technique of attaining this stuff, along with customer satisfaction enchancment, in a advertising and marketing plan. Usually speaking, fashionable types of advertising and marketing that purpose to resolve issues and supply genuine assistance—like content advertising—are more effective than advertising.
It's easy to get confused about the differences between advertising, advertising and PR – all three are there to advertise an organisation and its products. This happens incessantly, and it is indicative of simply how interdependent all your advertising efforts truly are – and how way more there is to marketing than simply creating your advertisements.
This knowledge can then be fed into the design and innovation process for new merchandise and marketing campaigns. Banner advertising through which large banners are set up at public places is a proven method of creating your merchandise in style among the plenty.
Even if you are not planning on a global communications or model career, the perspective that comes from having worldwide exposure gives you standout within the jobs market. You can be supported by your personal enterprise guide who's on secondment from industry and the complete sources of the Graduate Enterprise Firm.
They understand the industrial realities of working in the communication and creative business sector and can go this information on to you so that you are knowledgeable and enterprise-centered. Within the advertising objective it is best to outline whether or not you seek to create brand awareness or to generate a direct response.

Chapter 6 Summary
Laye is very young when he first starts attending the Koran school. Shortly thereafter he transfers to the French school. Every school day, as soon as they finish breakfast, Laye and his sister start out for school carrying their books and notebooks with them. Laye participates in the childish games of pulling girls' hair until one day a friend named Fanta asks him why he always pulls her hair. He says he pulls it because she's a girl. She reminds him that she doesn't pull his hair. After this conversation he feels foolish about pulling her hair and doesn't do it anymore. Laye's sister notices that he's feeling awkward around Fanta and makes fun of him for it.
The schoolteacher is more than strict; he beats the students and abuses them for the slightest infraction. The children wouldn't think of interrupting him. If...

The central Tunisian city of Sidi Bouzid is best known today as the birthplace of the Arab Spring. It was in Sidi Bouzid where Mohamed Bouazizi set himself on fire in December 2010 to protest what he believed was unfair treatment at the hands of Tunisia's corrupt government. The repercussions of that single act of protest have been felt throughout the Arab world and, for better or worse (often worse) are still reverberating today.
But during World War II, Sidi Bouzid was the scene of an Axis victory, part of the 1942-1943 Tunisia Campaign and one of the first engagements between American and German forces in the war. As a piece of (or preliminary to) the larger Battle of Kasserine Pass, it wasn't a major battle, but the result (and the result of Kasserine Pass) caused the Allies, particularly the Americans, to reassess their unit organization and to jettison some of their most ineffective officers in favor of more capable replacements. The Allied forces were considerably strengthened for all of that introspection. In the big picture, then, you could argue that the Axis victory here helped create the conditions by which they ultimately lost the North Africa campaign.

My problem is with the brakes and power steering.
the rear brakes will heat up especially in heavy traffic or pulling a trailer the brake pedal it seems like the brakes are slightly appling themsevles.. Also the power steering gets stiff.
I installed a new power steering pump I did the procedure that the chilton's manual recommends to bleed the pump. The old pump had a terribble howl to it. The power steering started to work fine until I hit the brakes then it became hard to steer again and brakes still heat up pads are good all the way around.
this model has the hydraulic accumulator /master cylider not the vaccuum boost so the steering and brakes are linked together? I think the accumulator/mastercylider is bad. Or maybe the ECHU. Her is the picture of the master cylinder/hydro accumulator

The Headteacher's Report/
Following on from the previous blog (about our QpDpD, known as Cupid, stat), one of the services we provide at Flurrish is a half-termly summary performance report that is sent to the headteacher. This provides a detailed class breakdown. Here's an example of one:
What can the head immediately see from this? Over the half-term (5 weeks) the 2-class intake primary school has
- a total of 106,596 times tables questions answered
- Class 5A have answered a large number of questions per pupil over this period, but the percentage correct is relatively low.
- Class 5B have answered far fewer questions (Cupid=16.6) , more slowly but their accuracy is better
- 6A have a large number of questions answered per pupil, rapidly with a high percentage correct
- 6B have played very few questions (Cupid=6.6) although are accurate
The headteacher can also see how they have performed (in bold) against other 10 other schools in the area (ordered by Cupid):
Some further points to draw out:
- they are in the top three for Cupid (38)
- however this masks the two low Cupid scores for 5B and 6B
- the accuracy is broadly similar between schools, but masks variability between classes
Remember that these classes should be able to complete 40 questions in a 10 minute starter session. If a 30 pupil class plays every day, then (30 pupils x 5 days x 40 questions) they'll answer 6,000 questions per week.
Next blog is about actions you might take following a report like this.

The book is based on the writings and sermons of Charles Spurgeon during the Down-Grade Controversy. #sovereignty #salvation #gospel #johnmacarthur #charlesspurgeonIn the infamous words of John MacArthur, Go Home 😂I turned on hymns while I ate lunch A Mighty Fortress Amazing Grace On Christ The Solid Rock I Stand .... and now I'm crying my eyes out. I don't sing well anyway but right now tears are flowing and my voice is cracking because The Gospel of Jesus Christ is beautiful. Jesus Paid It All #hymns #worship #gospel #JesusGreat truths from @livinggodstruthTomorrow is promised to no man. Don't put off this eternal decision.

Scrummy Sophie Harries prepares to cheer on rugby ace boyfriend Liam Williams and his British & Irish Lions teammates
Sophie, 25, has spent the last month following star Liam in New Zealand
BOYO boy . . . Lions Wag Sophie Harries looks scrummy in all black undies and white faux-fur coat.
This morning the Welsh model, 25, will roar on boyfriend Liam Williams and his British and Irish Lions team-mates in the third test.
Sophie has spent the last month following star Liam in New Zealand.
Next season she and the 26-year-old will live together in London after he signed for Saracens.
She is based in the capital with the Models 1 agency.
Her bikini snaps are already a big hit on social media. Maul the merrier, we say.

|Lady Justice Black
The background: The parties began to live together in 1993 and married in September 1994. The wife is in her late forties and the husband is in his mid fifties. There are no children. In August 1993 the husband moved to London to work as an oil broker. The wife joined him there a few months later. Her role was to look after the household and she has not worked since then.The marriage ran into difficulties in about 2003 when the wife discovered that the husband was taking cocaine and drinking excessively and suspected that he was using female escorts. Attempts to address the problems, including attendance by the husband at rehabilitation clinics, were unsuccessful. In 2009, in the light of the husband's addictive behaviour, the wife concluded that the marriage was over and the parties separated in December 2009. They were divorced in 2014.
The order: The assets of about £13.5 million were divided as to 54.5% to the wife and 45.5% to the husband, on a clean break basis. The reasons given for departing from equality were in part to cater for the wife's needs and in part the husband's conduct, which the judge accepted had led to "the reckless frittering away of family money".
The appeal: Lady Justice Black gave the leading judgment of the Court of Appeal. I will deal here with the three primary grounds for the appeal:
1. That the parties' needs should have been treated as identical: Lady Justice Black was not persuaded by this argument, considering that the judge's approach to need was open to him. For example, she said: "On the judge's findings, whereas marriage had left the wife with no effective earning capacity and constrained to rely on a Duxbury fund, the husband was not confined to conservative investment of his capital but would be able to make it work for him. This was something that the judge was entitled to take into account in sharing the assets between them."
2. That the husband had been left with the illiquid and risky assets: Lady Justice Black accepted the argument put forward on behalf of the wife that the assets which are now said to be illiquid and risky are those in which the husband had invested - it would have been quite unfair for the wife, who is not financially astute, to be given a share in those assets.
3. That the judge erred in his approach to the husband's addictive behaviour: Lady Justice Black took the view that the order that the judge made was justified on the basis of the wife's needs alone, and therefore even if the husband succeeded with this argument the Court of Appeal would not interfere with the order. Accordingly, she did not consider this ground for appeal.
For these reasons, Lady Justice Black indicated that she would dismiss the appeal
Mr Justice Baker and Lord Justice Patten gave concurring judgments.

The hit & run accident lawyers of McMahon, Kublick, PC, have decades of experience in helping hit & run accident
and injury victims in Syracuse and across Central New York. We can help you, too.
Vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians can all be included in a hit and run accidents. If you have been hurt by a driver who left the scene, you may be unsure of where to turn for help and this only becomes more stressful when the medical bills start piling up and you remain out of work.
Drivers that have done a hit and run will do anything to avoid accepting responsibility for the accident they caused. This involves those that cause serious damages, injuries or death of another person.
If a loved one has been hurt in a hit and run accident, contact the attorneys McMahon, Kublick in Syracuse. We have the knowledge needed to properly handle your hit and run accident claim. An experienced hit and run attorney will help you get the compensation you deserve for your injuries.
It is estimated that nearly 11 percent of motor vehicle accidents are caused by a hit and run driver. Often a driver will flee the scene of an accident to avoid taking responsibility for their actions. Other common reasons why a motor vehicle operator would flee the scene of an accident which includes:
• Driving under the influence
• Falling asleep behind the wheel
• Invalid driver's license
• On probation
• Pedestrian accident
• Suspended license
• Uninsured motorist
• Warrants for arrest
In New York State, the law requires drivers to remain at the scene of an accident until police or another responding law enforcement official allows the driver to leave or if the matter has been settled.
Even if a driver hits an unattended vehicle, they are required to stop and leave information where it can easily be seen on the damaged vehicle.
If you were injured or your car was badly damaged in a hit and run accident, a Syracuse car accident attorney can help you. We have the experience dealing with hit and run drivers and we will review the details of your accident and determine the best legal options for you.
If you are a victim of a hit and run accident, you are experiencing something that nobody should ever have to endure. There are several steps that need to be taken. These steps can assist in identifying the individual at-fault and help you get the results you deserve. Here is a list of some things you should do if you have been the victim of a hit & run accident:
• Exchange witness information
• Get a look at the driver
• Get the license plate number
• Get the make, model, and color of the vehicle
• Remember what part of the vehicle struck you
• Report the incident to the police
• Seek immediate medical attention
• Take photos of the scene
• Contact an attorney
Often these types of accidents lead to serious injuries, damages and sometimes they can even be fatal.
The Syracuse hit and run attorneys at McMahon, Kublick will investigate to find any leads on the driver responsible for the accident and the injuries they have caused. Our hit and run attorneys can obtain any security footage in the area that may be available, contact eye-witnesses and consult with the local law enforcement accident scene reconstruction team to help identify and find the at-fault driver.
If that driver can't be identified or located you may still be able to obtain compensation from your own insurance company. Uninsured motorist protection allows you to seek compensation for damages sustained during such an accident.
If your insurer should work to deny your claim or provide inadequate coverage, our attorneys can help you. Do not fight these battles on your own.

Immunizations, often known as vaccinations, help defend you from getting an infectious disease. In giant part, as a result of the CDC and FDA coverage choices are made by way of advisory panels whose members have financial relationships with the same companies they are charged to control. State legislation mandates that immunizations are recorded and that document must be presented to the varsity prior to highschool entry. Immunizations towards childhood diseases are required by Mississippi law with a view to enter school, Head Start, or day care.
In addition, immunizations at pressing care facilities are sometimes cheaper than you may discover at a hospital or even at a health care provider's office. More details about vaccine uncomfortable side effects and precautions will be found in the CDC's brochure Parents Guide to Childhood Immunizations. Last year Government scientists failed to reproduce research outcomes by Dr Wakefield.
To study more about immunizations or to schedule immunizations on your baby, contact your native health workplace , or call (601) 576-7751. In Singapore, 18 per one hundred,000 youngsters lower than 5 years old are contaminated with pneumococcal disease each year. Again, if they did not you possibly can sue them for tens of millions of dollars if a reaction occurred from their immunizations. Special issues to bear in mind:Remember that immunizations will not be suitable for everybody. Parents planning to register a baby in an area college system should bring a proof of immunizations with them together with other health related documentation.
The blame is at the very least partially attributable to the failure of government officers to maintain observe of the cumulative amounts of mercury as they added triple-dose-vaccines to the schedule and the amount of thimerosal was multiplied by three. An early appointment is advised as a result of some immunizations require a series of injections over a time frame and/or take just a few days or weeks to offer you full immunity.
Rule No. 5: Waivers can often be obtained by a letter from a church official certifying that you're a member of a church that recommends in opposition to immunizations for its adherents. Although I've by no means dealt with Autism as a mom I do really feel like the results that may come from not receiving immunizations is far too nice and I have no concrete proof that immunizations lead to autism. I imagine in immunizations and have all the time kept my youngsters present on their schedule.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Schiffer from Impressed! I have been using the 18oz version of the Espro P5 Glass French Press for a short time, so I cannot speak to its longevity, but it certainly feels like a sturdy, made to last product. The glass feels incredibly durable, and comes with a notch on the side that acts as a sort of locking mechanism when you slide it back into the carrier, and twist so the spout is facing front. Because of the glass thickness, it keeps the coffee warmer for a little longer than other glass carafes as well. The double filter system is thoughtful; taking into consideration the sediment that comes with French Press coffee. It comes with an even further filtration step by offering a small pack of filters you can use between the double filters that are built in already. It's easy to assemble, easy to clean, easy to use, and delivers strong cups of coffee. Additionally, I had no issue with the removal of the sticker on the glass.Date published: 2019-04-05Rated 5 out of 5 by ROCKY from Works PERFECT Coffee tastes amazing I have had this for about a year now, purchased along with Breville Electric Kettle. I cannot say enough the functionality of it is amazing, coffee is amazing, and it is so different from a regular french press. I love the double basket!! Not sure about the sticker one reviewer talked about- I peeled it back gently with ZERO issues!! Great product there should not be a bad review!!Date published: 2019-01-02Rated 1 out of 5 by Jeff from Highly Frustrated First off, I want to say that I never take the time to post a negative review. In this case, I felt inspired to do so. Yesterday, I spent the day in the William Sonoma store in Hingham with Kathleen who was absolutely fabulous. Ordered in excess of $4500 in items for a new home I purchased in Maine. Kathleen was great and I had a very favorable experience. Now for the reason for this review. I recently ordered the the Espro P5 Glass French Press on line. Upon opening the box I noticed a label that was wrapped around the entire glass container. The label had to be peeled off in hundreds of little pieces. Really? I pay over $100 for french press and have to spend a couple of hours peeling a label off the glass. The actual french press is great, but come on with the impossible to remove labeling.Date published: 2018-07-11Rated 4 out of 5 by mskandy from I love this French Press!!! I bought the medium french press and it arrived on 5/19/18. I used it for the first time on 5/20/18 and loved it. Here are my pros and cons: Pros: The double filter works great for this french press, the coffee does not have that dirty residue like what you get from the other french press. The liquid is very clear and coffee tasted great. Easy cleaning. Makes roughly two cups of coffee depending on how much you drink a day. Cons: They put a marketing sticker on the glass and it took me 15 minutes to peel and wash it off. It was very annoying. For something this expensive, it did not come with a measuring and stir spoon. Was very disappointing. The glass have that science glass beakers feel to it, didn't feel like it should cost $50+ dollars. Overall, I am pretty happy with my purchase. Especially since I was looking for a filter system that was different from the original french press and something that would be easy to clean.Date published: 2018-05-21

Introducing a Revolutionary Mind Training Program which should be a Must for any serious Mixed Martial Artist, from a beginners to seasoned veterans.
MMA Mental Game and the Truth about the Zone
The Zone - it is the Holy Grail of the MMA mental game... the elusive mind/body
|Blog author Approved Product
Fighters describing the experience of being "in the zone" usually
sound like this:
"Everything felt right"
"My punches were so fluid"
"I knew exactly what to do"
Etc, Etc.
Ah yes...all fighters have had this experience. Some for only a
moment or two, some for fight or even a string of fights.
But what is the Zone, anyway?
How do we get there and STAY there?
There are certainly plenty of theories thrown by PhDs in sports
psychology as to the exact biochemical happenings in the brain and
nervous system during "zone time".
|Learn to NUKE your opponents with precision, laser-like focus
They even hook athletes up with electrodes and monitor a boatload
of information and biofeedback data. This is all done to assist these
athletes in their quest for the Holy Grail...the Zone.
They just don't get combat sports psychology, and the MMA mental game.
Although it would be kind to assume that these Ivory Tower
theorists have the best intentions, my gut tells me that it is
usually more a case of "intellectual egotism".
Regardless, the whole thing really reminds me of Monty Python and
The Holy Grail.
In other words, a fruitless endeavor doomed to failure because it
is based on inane premises and therefore produces deluded
However, it does provide a decent amount of comic relief, at least
for me.
OK, so maybe I'm exaggerating (but just a little bit).
The quest to somehow evoke the Zone state and maintain it is
|Fighting is a 90% Mental, Train your Brain
destination - a state of being outside of the golfer's natural
mind/body state.
Here's the big news ...drum roll please...the Zone is your natural
state of being.
That's right - the Zone is NOT a state of being that you have to
"get into" and then hope and pray that you stay there.
Rather, the Zone is your true state of mental and physical being.
It is the place to which you return when you are finally able to
eliminate and clear the specific impediments to your natural
freedom state.
These impediments include (but are not limited to):
Self doubt
Comfort Zones
Etc., etc.
The important point is that these issues keep you from LIVING in
the zone, both inside the ring/cage and out.
The key is to "clear" or "eliminate" these issues... and then...
POW!...you are in the Zone.
This is the key to mastering your MMA mental game.
After a relatively short period of time, the Zone will start to
feel normal, because it is indeed your natural state of being.
Renegade Fighter Mindset Techniques are designed to clear these
issues that keep you from being in the Zone, and from racking up the
victories you deserve.
Our Renegade Fighter program is not the only way to clear your
issues. It just happens to be extremely fast, simple to learn, and
is specific to combat sports.
No electrodes or biofeedback devices required.
Are YOU ready to LIVE in the ZONE?
Forget about the quest for the Holy Grail. Leave that to Knights
who say "NI" (and the PhDs).
go here for more information that will totally shock you.
