I must admit I'm not very much into TV shows, whether they're horror-related or not. However, I do eventually give in after people recommend me certain TV series (such as Stranger Things, The Exorcist and Channel Zero).
In regards to The Haunting of Hill House, though, nobody had to spam my email (that's firstname.lastname@example.com) for me to give this show a chance, since it's directed by Mike Flanagan and features an all-star cast made of most of the actors who've been in Flanagan's movies since the beginning.
Needless to say, I loved The Haunting of Hill House: it features all Flanagan's trademarks, among which the combination of familiar horror convention and highly emotional themes is the main highlight. Just to be clear, I haven't read the source material Hill House is based on, but I don't think it's necessary to appreciate the TV show: as a matter of fact, as a critic, I never, ever compare novels to their movie adaptation, since they're two completely different media and what works in one of them, might not work in the other.
I'm trying to keep this review barebones, as you should really check Hill House out for yourself whenever you get the chance. Over the course of 10 episodes, with a runtime that varies from 47 to 72 minutes, we follow a story that starts relatively standard: a family (the Crains) is terrorized by spooky ghosts in an old house, but it goes in a different direction than many of these kinds of films or TV shows.
Most haunted house stories are about discovering the origins of the haunting, what unspeakable tragedy occurred there, and lifting the curse. Here, the ghosts haunting the house are barely explained, and the biggest mysteries are about the Crains themselves. The journey to the end is not about discovering some ancient sin that has to be rectified, but rather how each of the Crains can deal with their losses, both from decades earlier and more recent. As such, Hill House is less a movie about battling ghosts than it is redefining what "ghosts" actually are. Grief, shame, guilt, with a good dose of discussion about mental illness and addicting as well.

Please consider supporting this website with a little donation. Every single cent is much appreciated!
Besides the captivating story, filled with drama-heavy themes (more on that in the spoiler-filled part of the review), characters and performances are what really carry the show: Carla Gugino, Henry Thomas, Victoria Pedretti, Lulu Wilson, Kate Siegel, Mckenna Grace (perhaps the best child actor working today), Elizabeth Reaser, Michael Huisman, Oliver Jackson-Cohen… they all give outstanding and rich performances, which helps the fantastic script to be even more effective.
From a great script and some good actors who always shine under Flanagan's directing, the natural result is represented by seamless dialogues: in fact, a few of the most uncomfortable and disturbing sequences in the movie come from the spotless dialogues and interaction between the protagonists.
Yet, the presentation is probably the best I've seen from Flanagan: there's one episode in particular, which I'll be discussing later, that made my jaw drop from how masterful it was directed. In general, the cinematography is spotless – other than a not-so-great first episode – and filled with beautiful and inventive camera angles.
Hill House also succeeds at utilising non-traditional narrative, or better non-linear narrative: the story keeps going back and forth from something that happens in the past to the consequences of that occurrence in the present. This is a really difficult task to manage without sacrificing the integrity of the plot and the pacing of the TV show. However, the filmmakers pulled it off due to, once again, great writing and some fantastic editing choices.
THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE [minor spoilers]
Here I want to talk about two of the most impactful moments in this great TV series: the entirety of episode 6 and a jump-scare in episode 8.
Episode 6 takes place in two locations: part of the story's set in the present, with the Crain family reunited in Shirley's morgue as they moan the loss of a loved one – see, I'm trying to keep the spoilers to a minimum – and part of it in the 'visions' characters have from their past. This episode is both scary (due to the Hereditary-like way to frame certain disturbing images with a certain eerie refinement) and emotional (thanks to the family drama and a few reveals). However, what's really outstanding is the cinematography: this hour-long episode is made of only two single takes! All the characters are on screen at the same time for the most part, which means they all had to stay in character for a long time, providing a certain theatrical feeling to the story. Yet, the transitions between present and past are seamless, making for a dream-like experience like no other. This episode is like an ode to cinema by Flanagan, and it's pure delight.
Episode 8, instead, shows horror filmmakers and horror fans how to craft jump-scares. As I mentioned before, Hill House combines horror conventions (and sometimes clichés) with a deeper meaning and a more unconventional storyline. However, the TV shows doesn't shy away from jump-scares, which are utilised sparsely and effectively throughout the episodes. In this one, two women are driving towards Hill House, when something terrifying happens. That's how you make an effective scare: there's no creepy music to anticipate it, the characters are interacting (unlike in many other horror flicks, where jump-scares are expected due to the unnatural silence) and they're framed from an angle which makes you comfortably thinking nothing bad can happen. Also, during this sequence, no loud noise is introduced as a cheap gimmick, because what you see is terrifying enough to not require any trick.
This episode is also a nice introduction to the final part of The Haunting of Hill House that I'll now discuss in a spoiler-filled paragraph.
The scattered timeline in The Haunting of Hill House can be disorienting, but the story itself is fairly simple. At its core, it's about a monster. It just happens, in this case, that the monster is a building. Hill House is described by Olivia Crain (Carla Gugino, always fantastic under Flanagan's direction) as a living creature ("the walls are bones, pipes are veins" and so on), and this leads to the assumption that the mysterious Red Room within Hill House must be the heart. However, as the first season comes to an end, the Crain family discovers that the Red Room is actually the stomach of Hill House, and ever since the family had been living there, it had been digesting them one by one.
When the family gets to Hill House to save Luke from what seems to be an attempt at suicide, they discover that Hill House have tricked them into entering the Red Room by changing on the inside, giving it a unique appearance and location to each member of the family (for Luke, it was a treehouse; for Olivia, it was a reading room, and so on). The house tricks people into staying inside of it and, though most of the family managed to just barely avoid being devoured completely, Olivia, Nell (played by Victoria Pedretti), and Hugh (played by Timothy Hutton in the modern setting) weren't so lucky.
Simply put, Hill House is a haunted place riddled with ghosts – which the Crain family experiences from the very beginning, having Flanagan inserted them everywhere – but these aren't ghosts in the traditional way: they're grief, depression, mental illness, cowardice, terror, addiction, fear of not being able to achieve something worthwhile in life, and so on. As most of the family members make it out of the house at the very end, it seems like we got our happy ending.
However, this is not entirely the case (in my opinion), because closure never comes for the family members who lost their loved ones and still carry on sad memories about them. In conclusion, the ending of The Haunting of Hill House is a happy ending only for the house itself, which maintains its grip on the Crain family and always will.
I personally believe this ending is great… except from the fact that it's also a bit too corny. And this is really my only big complaint about the whole series: the tenth episode concludes with a 10-minute-long monologue which explains to the audience how they should feel. Due to the music choices, this moment is very emotional but, all the same, also cheesy and probably stretched too an unnecessary length.
Nevertheless, The Haunting of Hill House is one of the best horror shows of the last decade and you should definitely check it out if you haven't already.
The Haunting of Hill House 9/10

If you're running a marketing campaign for a website, chances are you are reliant on content.
It doesn't matter if you're looking to SEO for more organic traffic, building landing pages so you can run PPC campaigns, or building an email list – we know that getting our content right is a vital ingredient.
But, when it comes to targeting our money-making pages, or product content, it can be much harder to develop a content experience that stands out, both to our users and the search engines.
If you run an e-commerce site with tens, hundreds or thousands of products, the issue becomes much more pronounced. It's well documented that being good is no longer enough. In nearly every field, there's far too much competition and aiming to just be as competent as others isn't a recipe for standing out.
This issue then for many agencies, copywriters and even in-house marketers is how do we create content that is truly exceptional? Content that delights our potential customers and performs well in the search results?
As always, the key in SEO and PPC is asking questions. After many years work, these are some of the key questions I ask at the beginning of any digital marketing campaign with an e-commerce site. I hope they provide a new perspective on how you can look at improving your results.
1. Do we know everyone's goal for this content? Do we know who it is aimed at?
At first this seems obvious; our goal is to make a sale, and everything else pales in comparison.
But when it comes to e-commerce, it's rarely so black and white (except for the sales team, perhaps).
Is your product an instant purchase or would it normally require research, guidance, or having the lead nurtured? Are there micro-conversions you can also look to achieve, such as email subscription (we all know the power of email marketing), social media engagement, call-back form or query submission?
And what are the users goals? If their goal is to simply purchase this particular item (that they've researched), then does your content do a good job of confirming that they have found the right product? Does your content provide a reason why they should buy it from you?
If the user's goal is to solve a problem, then your product or service description is going to have to do an outstanding job (far better than anyone else) of showing how you will solve their problem. Do you do that, or are you making assumptions about the audience knowing as much as you?
Finally on this point, does your content cater for the online personas that will be consuming it? Have you considered the different perspectives, needs, language and goals of your different target markets?
2. Have we made something that ticks all the boxes of what Google is looking for?
While we don't have the secret blend of herbs and spices that makes up Google's algorithm, we do have a huge amount of insight into what they want to see from both our peers and from Google themselves.
We know that layout is important. We know that easy-to-use, well laid-out and easily navigable content is noticed by Google, and we have practical examples thanks to information such as the top-heavy update which has been regularly improved.
Speaking of keyword topics, the discipline of writing for online has developed sufficiently to arm us with the ability to write a product page on a topic and not just an individual keyword. We can look at both our main terms, but also secondary and tertiary terms that should all be touched upon to prove we have the most comprehensive product page available.
We can lay out our keyword phrases and add our perspective while referencing all the related concepts to provide these topic-relevancy signals. We will show we are more relevant by answering more questions and by going the extra mile our competitors do not.
While we are talking product content here, we have to acknowledge that the best product content provides easy answers to questions a user might have. It would be in your best interest to have these easy answers appearing in supplementary content such as blog posts or cornerstone content.
Supplementary content is an important takeaway from Google's Quality Rater Guidelines, especially those released in November last year. These guidelines are one of the best resources we have to understanding what Google is looking for, so it is well worth becoming familiar with it, and critically comparing our content to it.
To that end, to learn what Google means by "quality", they gave us some big clues almost five years ago. However, we see many people taking shortcuts rather than doing what Google considers best practices.
3. Does this content reflect readers' and users' input?
Being able to bring in the unique insights, questions, keywords and recommendations is a fantastic way to build up the potential of your product content.
The first way to do this is the more obvious; user-generated content. By adding UGC, we add both depth to our content and potential for long tail terms that support our main keyword topic goals and add a layer of trust signals that can help persuade new customers. Reviews are one of the most successful ways if implementing this, but testimonials, frequently asked questions about the product, and connected forums are other possibilities for adding great information from users.
A less-direct method of getting user input into your content is through user-feedback on your product or even on your website itself.
Getting information from the customer-facing parts of the business on the questions users have (so you can answer them in your content), or from conducting a survey of your customers, website users or even the public can reveal all kinds of angles you wouldn't have considered internally. Another way of understanding if your content truly does an outstanding job is getting real feedback by conducting some user testing – this is usually an eye-opening way of spotting the content gaps your product pages have.
4. What have competitors done well on the topic?
One of my favorite ways of kicking-off a review of product content is to look at the competition. Sometimes I even go as far as doing a mini content audit of a major competitor site if they are earning strong results.
For many, looking at a competitor page from a qualitative point of view covers this off, but I have found great value in going further:
- User testing, which supplies a neutral view, asks what has our competitor done well? Comparing our page to others can give remarkable (and occasionally brutal), assessments of how a competitor is achieving things you are not.
- What competitor product content has earned links? Use a backlink tool such as SEMrush's backlink analysis, Ahrefs or Majestic to find out. Normally product pages don't compared to supplementary or marketing content, so any product pages that have done this are worth examining (as this research uncovers which supplementary topics have struck a cord with you target market).
- Similarly, what content has resonated with the audience on social media? We can use Buzzsumo, SEMrush's social media tool or Ahrefs Content Explorer to see who has shared such content, and try and look at why.
- What content has Google declared worthy of ranking for your product terms? Using SEMrush can quickly find the relevant competitor content to analyze.
5. Do we have plans for the governance of the content?
Finally, is there a plan in place to manage the content publication process?
The discipline of content strategy is our friend here. While it is a deep topic we have much to learn from, there are some great questions to ask at this stage to see if our content is as good as it should be.
Who is writing the content?
Especially pertinent if you are taking over this task, but also key if your client or another part of the business supplies it, knowing who is writing the content, and there feelings on doing so can make or break your work.
Many times we've found a process where content is regarded as a chore, or where it's written by an intern with little insight into the product or its benefits. Have you got the advantages of all the internal expert knowledge of your product, the insight into customer goals, questions and reservations and passionate voice to get your message across?
Who commissions, edits and approves new content?
When do you decide that new product content is required? Do we have templates to help the writers? And what editorial process is in place to make sure everything is not only to the brief, but exceeding expectations?
Who is in charge of product content governance?
A review process will not only help show any issues that have arisen with content based on customer feedback, but also what the process is if content is out of date, what happens to out-of-stock or end-of-line products and most importantly, reviewing content a set amount of time after publication to ask if it is still the most helpful answer available online.
There's many other questions to ask of course, but these are my starting point to understanding the range of possibilities we have to build that elusive quality content that is our holy grail.
Attend My Webinar
In my webinar this week (28th January 2016), I'll be taking a deeper look into these questions and many more to offer your inspiration on how to make product pages that impress users, search engines, and your bosses.
It's impossible to measure quality as a metric, to determine a number to hit that makes our content exceptional. So instead of looking only at content as hitting some imaginary threshold, instead as digital marketers we should be looking at all the ways we can improve what our product pages offer.
By asking questions, we build the case for making our content that little better each time, until we have something that does stand out from the rest.

Tornado safety tips
If there's a risk of a tornado, Environment Canada will issue warnings on the radio and television. You can also visit their weather website to check for alerts in your area.
When a tornado strikes, the most important thing is to keep you and your family safe. Here are some tips from the Government of Canada's Get Prepared website.
How to prepare
- Go to the basement and take shelter in a small interior room.
- If you don't have a basement, take shelter in an interior room on the ground floor, like a bathroom, closet or hallway.
- Stay away from windows, doors and exterior walls.
- Stay on the ground, protect your head and watch out for flying debris.
If you're driving near a tornado
- Drive to the nearest solid shelter.
- If the tornado is very close, get away from your car and take shelter in a ditch.
- Don't go towards the tornado. Tornados are unpredictable and can change direction quickly.

We are all guilty of occasionally skipping the sunscreen – here's how to reverse the consequences.
What damage can the sun wreak?
Plenty – including a reduction in the production of collagen and elastin (which keep skin firm and plump), slowing down the natural exfoliation of dead skin cells and hyper-pigmentation. This sun damage is cumulative, showing up over time as ugly wrinkles, blotches, dark spots, sagging skin and a dull complexion.
However, microscopic examination of the skin shows that it has the capacity to repair itself after sun damage – provided it's not subjected to further assault from the sun. Using sunscreen is therefore crucial in starting the repair process. In fact, an Australian study has shown that sunscreen can even reverse the activity of precancerous cells.
Banish the tan
Try this kitchen-shelf remedy to counter the most visible sign of sun damage – make a paste by mixing three parts of milk with one part of turmeric powder. Apply all over your face, let dry and rub off in circular motions before rinsing away the residue.
The sun strips the face of natural moisture, so replenish with a good water-based moisturizer to avoid dullness or fine lines. A persistent layer of dead skin cells is another prime concern – tackle with glycolic peels, regular exfoliation or an at-home microdermabrasion kit.
Bust the dead skin cells
Topical application of Retin A, a Vitamin A-derivative, can help normalize sun damaged cells. It also plumps up skin's topmost layer, revives collagen and elastin, increases blood flow to the skin, and sloughs off dull, dead skin cells.
Neutralise toxins
Also look for antioxidant-based formulations – they neutralize the toxic by-products created by sun damage. Prime picks include green tea, copper and Vitamin C. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, topical green tea can even inhibit the growth of cancerous cells.
Soothe a sunburn
To ease your misery and soothe the skin after sun damage, chop a cucumber, then puree with one tablespoon of chilled milk. Apply this paste over scorched areas and rinse off after 15 minutes. Repeat twice a day for best results.
Or freeze chamomile tea in an ice tray, wrap the cubes in a dry flannel cloth and pat over your face.
Yogurt is another brilliant soother for sunburnt skin. To minimize the dreaded flaking, pat on a mix of equal parts cold milk and cold water with cotton pads.
If you need off-the-shelf relief, look for products containing anti-inflammatory and cooling ingredients like Aloe Vera and Vitamin E. Two good bets? Clarins After Sun Gel Ultra-Soothing and Body Shop Aloe Soothing Day Cream.
Don't ignore your hair
A study by the Rene Furterer Research Centre reveals that just three days of intense sun exposure can wreck the hair cuticle, which leads to super-dry strands, discoloration and dullness. Replenish with a good after-sun product containing Shea butter, lecithin of egg and soy, or essential oils of sesame, lemon, mint, camphor or eucalyptus.

One of the many quotes I live my life by is "Challenge yourself and treat yourself". And that's exactly what I've done recently, by booking a mini break to Paris. I have always wanted to go, visiting France on many occasions but never quite making it to the capital, and you know what? I can't bloody wait!
There are so many amazing places I want to explore and tick off my bucket list and my 2017 manta, amongst many, is to strive to purchase experiences rather than material things.
So with that in mind, to go with my cute cabin bag I choose this adorable 'sealed with a kiss' luggage tag*. Aside from plastering stickers all over my suitcase I wanted something that was a bit different to make my grey and black cabin bag stand out! This quirky luggage tag is pretty inexpensive and perfect to add a touch of femininity to everyday accessories.
I was lucky enough to choose this particular item but generally, Accessory Insanity is a website I wouldn't normally land on (call me old fashioned but I oppose shopping online because it's a faff to rectify if the item doesn't meet expectation). However, they have an extensive range of quirky and unique items from luggage tags and business card holders to boho style scarves. I was super impressed with delivery, the luggage tag arriving promptly considering it came from Canada. I highly recommend checking out their website, they have a vast array of girly presents perfect for your best friend or co-worker.
This 'sealed with a kiss' luggage tag can be purchased via their website. Features: Vegan faux leather, durable, with a section for your address/business card and has a snap closure. The adjustable strap makes it easy to attach to anything.
What cute accessories are you crushing on?

Greene County Planning Bd. v. Federal Power Comm'n
ELR Citation: 6 ELR 20101
Nos. No. 74-2638, 528 F.2d 38/(2d Cir., 12/22/1975)
The court lacks jurisdiction over a petition submitted by the Greene County Planning Board seeking revocation of a Federal Power Commission construction permit issued for a "circuit tower" in Franklin County, New York. The tower would enable the New York Power Authority to import Canadian electricity to help meet the demands of New York City. Petitioner argues that the permit should be revoked because the FPC failed to comply with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act, 42 U.S.C. §§4321 et seq., ELR 41009, and the Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. §8251(b). According to petitioner, these statutes require the FPC to consider environmental impacts before issuing a permit or license for a hydroelectric project. The court finds that Greene County has standing to sue even though it is located far from the project site. While there is no direct and immediate "injury-in-fact" to Greene County, the project could substantially alter transmission corridors throughout the state, and the County thus has a "real probability" of being affected by such changes. The court finds, however, that it lacks jurisdiction to hear the petition because the border crossing facility is not a "primary line" within the meaning of the Federal Power Act. It also points out that the project was specifically exempted from the requirements of NEPA by the Energy Supply and Environmental Coordination Act of 1974, 15 U.S.C. §793(d), ELR 41231. Even if the Administrative Procedure Act did provide an independent basis for review, a question which is as yet undecided in the Second Circuit, such jurisdiction would lie originally in the district court, not in the court of appeals.

Mumbai: Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd (BPCL) is looking at buying more stakes in oil and gas assets that are already producing to speed up investment returns, the managing director of the company's exploration business told Reuters.
The state-run refiner had previously focused mainly on exploration assets overseas, where it has invested just over $1.5 billion.
But the company now also looks at fields that are already producing. In March, it bought a stake in Russian oilfields that are in production via its upstream subsidiary Bharat Petro Resources Ltd.
"That is why we looked at Russia," BPRL managing director D Rajkumar told Reuters in the sidelines of a news conference on Wednesday.
"That will ensure we have a balanced portfolio of assets from exploration, development to producing. So with all this, we will be in a self-sustaining place soon."
Pressure on oil companies to get a quick return on their investment has increased because of lower oil prices which have also hit the industry's capital spending plans.
Bharat Petroleum was the first Indian state refiner to venture into the upstream oil business when it bought minority stakes in Brazilian blocks in 2007.
In 2008, Bharat Petroleum invested in a gas block in Mozambique but the production has now been delayed to 2020-21 after liquefied natural gas (LNG) prices slumped.
The purchase of the Russian assets gives Bharat Petroleum a potential for immediate revenues and bridges the gap till 2021-22 when Mozambique gas production starts, Mr Rajkumar said.
The company's chairman S Varadarajan said it would also continue to look for exploration opportunities.
"There is a strategy to look at different markets and projects which are at different phases (of exploration and production) and that is why we did the Russian acquisition," Varadarajan said.
BPCL plans to invest Rs 15,000 crore to Rs 20,000 crore ($2.25 billion to $3.00 billion) over the next five years in developing existing blocks, the company has said.

Mead's Carrie Jacka has high hopes in pole vault
Thu., May 8, 2014
Boys aren't the only successful pole vaulters at Mead these days.
Carrie Jacka, a junior transfer from Deer Park, finds herself atop the 4A state heap at 11 feet, 7 inches – 4 inches better than second – with the regular season finishing today.
She took sixth last year at the State 2A meet, vaulting 10-6.
After reaching 9-0 in the second meet of the season, Jacka has been the picture of consistency. She's gone 10-6 or better eight times and has been 11-0 or better the last five meets.
She hit 11-7, her career best, at a Greater Spokane League dual April 24 – four days after going 11-6 and taking second at the Pasco Invitational. It was the first time she had eclipsed 11-0.
Jacka, whose season best a year ago was 11-0, hasn't been lower than that height since Pasco.
Despite a steady side wind, Jacka won with 11-0 at the Strandberg Invitational last Saturday. The wind made it difficult to stick the pole in the plant box.
She has her sights set on 12-0 this season. She missed on three attempts at 12-0 the day she made 11-7.
Her sister, Bailee, captured a state title at Deer Park as a junior. Carrie matched her sister's career best at 11-7.
"I want to win a state title," said Jacka, who hopes to reach 13-0 her senior season.
Jacka also was part of Mead's successful gymnastics team. She hadn't participated in gymnastics for several years.
Mead gymnastics and pole vault coach Laurie Chadwick said one of Jacka's strengths in the pole vault is her speed. Helping out in sprint relays has benefitted her in the vault.
"Technically, she's improved a lot," Chadwick said. "She's moved up to longer poles and continued to improve."
Jacka hopes pole vault will help defray the cost of a college education.
Shadle Park's Amanda Konynenbelt hit a season best in the triple jump at Strandberg, leaping 36-3½ to win. "It's a huge improvement from my meet (Thursday)," Konynenbelt said. "I feel like I'm back in the rhythm now and will keep improving." … Rogers sophomore Khalil Winfrey and Isaac Wicks of North Central are on a collision course in the sprints come district. They've consistently been the top 3A sprinters this spring. Winfrey, who started at wide receiver in football last fall, won the 100 (11.01) and 200 (22.35) at Strandberg. Both times were season bests. He gave credit to Max Axtell of Freeman for pushing him in both races. Wicks leads in league in the 100, Winfrey in the 200. … Mariah Cunningham was the lone CV varsity athlete to put in a full day's work at Strandberg. She won the long jump (17-10¼) despite jumping into a headwind. "I scratched on an 18-footer," Cunningham said. Bears coach Geoff Arte gave the balance of his team light assignments. "Mariah kept her normal schedule," Arte said. "We ran all of our kids, but we didn't load up. We were fine-tuning for next week." … One GSL girls record was broken last week when the Mt. Spokane girls 400 relay team of Ashlee Pedersen, Katie Nilsson, Ciara Bland and Cheyenne Konrad posted a time of 48.74, eclipsing the record (49.10) set by University in 1995. Mt. Spokane's time ranks No. 1 among 3A schools and fourth overall.
• Other times/marks of note from last week: Frankie Hoerner of Gonzaga Prep in the 800 (1:55.46); Josh Richter of Mead in javelin (190-7); Nick Johnson of G-Prep in high jump (6-6); Anna Fromin of CV in 400 (58.42); Jack Bamis of G-Prep in long jump (23-2); Victoria Goetz of Coeur d'Alene in 400 (58.94); Zechariah Herford of West Valley in 100 (10.92); Scott Kopczynski of East Valley in 800 (1:58.44); Bradley Larson of Clarkston in triple jump (45-1¼); Scott Cummings of Lake City in pole vault (14-6); Logan Feasline of St. Maries in discus (175-4); and the Lake City boys 400 relay team of Chris Baker, Rhet Damschen, Rikki McCaw and Nathan Newby (42.34).
Final duals
The last week of GSL duals has been reached and much must still be determined regarding team championships.
Mt. Spokane will be the site today where the girls league title will be decided outright between Mt. Spokane (7-0) and Central Valley (6-0). They shared the league crown with Lewis and Clark last year.
"I've got us ahead by a little bit but not a comfortable margin," CV's Arte said. "Ashlee Pedersen is big for them. She can do six events, but I'm glad she'll just be in four. The relays will be big."
The Mt. Spokane boys (7-0) can finish undefeated but need to ward off a challenge from CV (4-2). Mt. Spokane snapped Mead's 66-dual winning streak last week, winning 76-69 at Mead.
If CV upsets Mt. Spokane, the Wildcats and Mead (7-1) would share the title.
All duals begin at 4. Shadle Park and University also will be at Mt. Spokane.
In other finales, Gonzaga Prep visits Mead and Ferris, LC and Rogers go to North Central.
• It's state-qualifying week for Idaho schools.
It begins today at 4 with the 3A District I teams at Timberlake and concludes Friday, beginning at 4.
The top three individuals and winning relays advance to state, May 16-17 at Middleton.
Timberlake's boys and girls are favored. The boys have won 11 straight district titles.
• The 5A and 4A Region I meets begin Friday at Coeur d'Alene and conclude Saturday at Lewiston.
Action begins Friday at 1 with all the field events and finals in the 3,200 and a couple of relays.
The top three individuals and top two relays advance to state, May 16-17 at Dona Larsen Park in Boise.
CdA's girls and Lake City's boys are favored in 5A. In 4A, the Sandpoint and Moscow boys and girls will have tight battles.
• The 2A and 1A Region I meets are Friday and Saturday at Kootenai. Action begins Friday at 2.
The top two individuals and winning relays advance to state in 2A while the top four individuals and top two relays advance to state in 1A. The State 2A and 1A meets are May 16-17 at Middleton.

Driving on NE 163rd Street
in North Miami Beach, you can't help but notice that several shopping
centers contain sex shops that boldly proclaim their wares. And
for 22 years, city officials long ignored a local law that prohibited
three strip clubs from serving alcohol alongside naked dancers. Anyone visiting the city would think North Miami Beach is comfortably in touch with human sexuality.
now that one of those establishments is catering to a mostly
homosexual clientele and changed its name to Swinging Richards, North
Miami Beach suddenly has decided it's time to crack down on erotic adult
entertainment. That decision could end up costing city
taxpayers thousands of dollars in legal fees and a barrage of bad
Last week, the owner of Swinging Richards sued the city in federal court alleging that North Miami Beach officials are discriminating against the club because of its name and because it features all-nude male dancers. City Attorney Darcee Siegel notified Swinging Richards that the city would begin enforcing its law banning booze sales at fully nude strip clubs on May 16. Siegal was out of town yesterday and unavailable for comment, while Mayor George Vallejo and City Manager Lyndon Bonner did not return two phone calls.
Councilwoman Barbara Kramer says she couldn't comment specifically on Swinging Richards, but she believes the city should also apply the law to Dean's Gold and G5ive, the two strip clubs featuring nude female dancers. "If that is the direction the city is going, then of course it has to be enforced against everybody," she says. At least one resident agrees.
Mubarak Kazan fired off an email to Bonner pointing out that Dean's Gold and G5ive should also be put on notice. "You are the city manager of our city and should stop these businesses from breaking our laws and not enabling them to do otherwise," Kazan wrote.
According to Swinging Richards' lawsuit, the city grandfathered the club's predecessor "Miami Gold" and the other adult entertainment venues when the law banning liquor sales and nudity in the same place was enacted in 1989. Five years later, the city amended the law to include other prohibitions, but again the three strip clubs were protected, the complaint argues. But when the new owner -- who owns a male strip club also called Swinging Richards in Atlanta -- bought the space and changed the name, city officials have been trying to find any way to shut it down.

North Miami Beach blogger Stephanie Kienzle says she was told by a city official that all three strip clubs have been notified to stop selling liquor alongside naked dancers. However, she says the city is "opening a can of worms."
"The clubs have been there forever," she says. "The city can't object to renewing their business licenses because the city doesn't like the name or what they do in there. North Miami Beach doesn't need the aggravation this lawsuit will bring."

TODAY I HANDED IN THE FINAL DELIVERABLES required to complete my studio requirements for my BDES. It's strange to think my 7 years of school have worked up to this point. However, there is little room to celebrate as everyone prepares for the undergraduate degree exhibition (May 5-19th). Unlike the rest of the show, the design majors at Emily Car University curates within its department and it's always this mad scramble to make custom displays, format documents, print takeaways, etc. Despite my efforts to keep my 8×8′ space simple, I decided to make custom shelves to house my pieces. I'm kicking myself for the extra work, but I know it'll look beautiful and clean. Thankfully, my dad is helping me build some smaller components which gives me more time to develop my supplementary pieces. It's coming together.

THE FOLLOWING ARE A SERIES OF SCREENS to evaluate the interactions of ceramic (for the purposes of a quick trial, I used air-dry clay) and emotion. After my participant chose the clay prop for each study, she would be randomly assigned an emotional prompt. None of her actions were premeditated, they were interactions of that moment. It was interesting to see which actions I anticipated and others which surprised me. She said this activity was very cathartic and an overall fun experience.

I've been in training this past week to learn how to work from home. I told a friend about my "working at home" training and she asked - so what are they going to do? Teach you how to use the internet? Ha ha. Well kind of. There are things like figuring out how to answer my work phone through the computer rather than a real phone - how to web cam with colleagues and how to maintain good work habits.
Then on Friday - you had a choice of picking up the computer from the warehouse at noonish or having them FedEx it to arrive at home on Saturday. I chose the delivery because I'm still trying to move my office without actually driving to the office and spent Friday afternoon working in a hotel-ling office about 3 doors down from my old office. My office mate had already obliterated any sign of me occupying any space in my old office. Someone had already snagged my old office chair.
So the dual screens and the printer arrived yesterday. The office paid for FedEx overnight Saturday delivery and the screens were both so poorly packed that even though they both work - they were damaged in the process - cracked frames, damaged screens and warped stands. Pretty amazing.
Edda was impressed. She was like - wow! two screens for me? You shouldn't have!

Using Bill Neal's "Biscuits, Spoonbread, and Sweet Potato Pie," I poked my toe into the world of cracker-making.
Yep. Crackers. Didn't know you could make 'em? That's the same thing a colleague said to me when I told her I made some crackers the other week.
I've always wondered what dough was used to make crackers and how they were baked, etc. Turns out, it's just biscuit dough, rolled to wafer thin.
In Neal's book I found recipes for two types of crackers — one used with the old fashioned Southern biscuit dough (note — lots of beating involved) and the more modern biscuit flour that uses baking powder. I tried both.
The first batch weren't too bad, but I wasn't that impressed either. Neal literally tells the reader to find a rolling pin, broken broom end or hammer to knead/beat the dough for 15 minutes, no less. I got tired and gave up after 7 minutes of beating. I spent the last 8 minutes catching my breath and rolling out the dough for the crackers.
I didn't add any additional toppings, such as salt, to the crackers. Just baked them for the 5-7 minutes. They seemed to be too biscuit like and didn't have a lot of taste like store bought crackers. I assumed that I didn't roll the crackers out thin enough and should have added salt. And with all that beating, they just weren't worth it.
The second batch was easier. I used scrap dough from some biscuits I made over the weekend. I also made sure to prick the cut out crackers with a fork a few times (which I was supposed to do the first time, but forgot to do) and sprinkled a little salt on top. These turned out much better and reminded me more of crackers you'd expect to find in a store or restaurant.
This batch was thin, crisp and had just enough taste (salt).
I also had a little accident in the kitchen this weekend that nearly drove me to tears.
After baking a couple loaves of bread, I placed them on wire racks on the table to cool. Thinking myself wise, I placed a kitchen towel under the racks to catch any crumbs.
Instead this somehow was not a good idea. I caused heat and/or water damage to my antique table and I don't know how.
See those white angel wings? That's not the flash of the camera or a trick of the light. That's damage from the steam and heat of the bread. Arrrrrggggghhhhhh!
Hubby thinks a little sanding and refinishing will take care of the problem. But that still doesn't make me feel any better. 😦
From now on, all baked goods will cool on the counter!

Concorde Classic Car Show
A major charitable event which we have been involved with for many years, is the annual Classic Car Show held every September at the Concorde Club.
As well as being on the Organising Committee and helping with planning the event, on the day we provide marshals for the car parks and the entrance gate.
We are always looking for volunteers to help with this event. The money raised goes to a very good local cause, Naomi House, a local children's hospice and respite care centre.
We regularly help at the Christmas Light Switch-On in Eastleigh town centre and our gazebo can usually be seen at a number of different community events in the town during the year.
Kids Out
Every year we participate in the Rotary District KidsOut event where local Rotary Clubs organise a day out for disadvantaged children. The District now has two venues for the children either Marwell Zoo or the Adventure Wonderland near Christchurch. We help pack the sandwiches (over 2,000 lunches) for children going to Marwell Zoo as well as sponsoring children from local schools to attend.
We are always interested to hear from local schools that would like to take this opportunity for their children to have a great day out.

Ellert Jans (d. 1549)
Ellert (Ellart) Jans, an Anabaptist martyr, a tailor of Woerden, Dutch province of South Holland, baptized by Gillis van Aken, was executed by burning at the stake with five men and two women of the same faith at Amsterdam on 20 March 1549. He could have taken part in a successful escape, but declined because he had a wooden leg. He cheerfully went to the place of execution and talked to his cousin Jan Jans whom he met on the way, so that all that heard were amazed. Through the iron bars of his prison he handed his cousin his will, and admonished him to join the brotherhood of the cross. His cousin did so. His martyrdom is sung in the hymn which begins, "Tis nu schier al vervult ons broeders getal," in Veelderhande Liedekens (1566 and succeeding editions).

When I got my ticket for the Forecastle Festival, my friend told me I had to listen to Atmosphere perform—it was an absolute must, and I'm glad I did. Atmosphere is a group comprising of rapper Slug, DJ Ant, keyboardist Erick Anderson and guitarist Nate Collis from Minneapolis, Minnesota, who won over the crowd, just as expected!
Starting off with "Trying to Find a Balance," to old school stuff like "Scapegoat" from his 1997 album Outkast, to his newer songs such as "Sunshine," "Puppets," and "Guarantees," it didn't matter what Atmosphere performed, the crowd was having an absolute blast shouting out the lyrics, first pumping and nodding their heads to the beat. Also, not to forget, learning DJ Slug's new dance: Japeto (at least that's how it sounded like it should be spelt). As Slug explained, all you had to do was put your hand up in the air with two fingers like scissors and "cut some strings." Everyone loved it. The Great Lawn was full of hundreds of people cutting some strings to his song "Puppets."
Slug won many hearts at the Forecastle Festival on Friday, but it wasn't just with his raps, it was also his down to earth personality and his way of connecting to his fans. "You're my kind of people," he said, "not because you buy my records… because you all seem like the kind of people to chill around with some cans of beer." He also apologized for telling the crowd to put their hands up and make noise all the time. Little does he know, his fans would lose their voices to his music regardless.

Will Football "Come Home"?
Plus - Afterward!!!
An assessment of England's chances in the football World Cup written in March 2010 for the July/August edition of The Astrological Journal. The actual outcome offers complementary insights into the nature of both astrological prediction and football:
Firstly Fabio Capello's astrology showed clearly that expectations based on performances in the previous year were certainly over-optimistic – especially because the favourable Jupiter had moved on. To win over-confident egocentricity about past successes had to be put aside. Good relationships and exceptionally selfless team work were needed; supporting each other for the greater good. This was the way to transcend more difficult aspects. Millions of supporters and the media knew this and gave it all they could with extravagant patriotic symbolism that expressed the national chart transits.
Unfortunately the players looked isolated, even haunted men who were following orders. The manager's body language expressed an inner nightmare that seemed to have little relevance to the team. The many millions spent on by officials and supporters came to nothing. Patriotic hopes were merely full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Money can't buy you love, nor even success it seems! Only when British football and footballers see beyond it and work for each other again will winning ways return.
Will Football "Come Home"? - Original Article
Pinning down the variables is the first difficulty in assessing the outcome of team competitions. Who will be playing or injured? The complex issues of synastry can easily lead to being drowned by the detail. It is much easier to focus upon factors that are unlikely to change– the chart of the team manager or, in international competitions, the nation's horoscope.
Fabio Capello's birth and progressed charts show why it was so easy for the England team he manages to do well in 2008/9. Transiting Jupiter was making multiple air grand trines to the Gemini and Libra planets in both charts and building to a conjunction to his natal MC – the news could not have been much better? Will this continue in 2010?
The final of the finals is scheduled to kick off at 20:30 EET*. Allowing for the interval and some added time, the result may be known by 22:30, although, with the angles applying to cardinal with Pluto near MC and Uranus/Jupiter on the ascendant, a rather sensational extra time period is very possible.
The connections with Capello's chart are no where near so easy to see as in 2009. In the run up period, transiting Mercury and then the Sun will cross his Mercury, Saturn and Venus, but either will be past or short of exact connections on the final day. His secondary progression chart for the day offers more hope. The Jupiter/Uranus transit is near (possibly on) the ascendant of the end of "the final" and trines his progressed Saturn. Could this be enough to wrestle a victory from very trying grand cross formed by the dominant transiting Aries/Cancer/Capricorn t-square to his natal and progressed Libran planets? Certainly the Leo stellium in the progressed chart suggests far more success when Jupiter is fully established in Aries in 2011.
So, the manager's chart suggests that England should do well and they almost certainly would have won if the competition had taken place in 2009. However, July 2010 may well be too late or early for the ultimate triumph to be enjoyed.
But in typical British "never say die" fashion, let us seek better news in the 1066 and 1801 UK Charts.
The cardinal struggle of the day of the final is certainly focussed close to the Capricorn UK MC, Sun and Mercury. Also transiting Saturn, having transited the Virgo stellium is exactly opposed to the UK Moon in the 12th house - more disappointment for the nation? Maybe, but not necessarily! The Ascendant for 22:30 is, to the degree, conjunct the progressed Mars and Jupiter/Uranus are conjunct progressed node and applying to conjunct progressed MC and Sun.
Put it all together and one gets the impression of a mammoth struggle to achieve something, for which the time is agonisingly not yet right.
However, if there is any beneficial reason for looking at the astrology of any person, group or enterprise, it is to enhance achievement by advancing understanding of what confronts us. Maybe things were too easy in 2009, do not get overconfident. In 2011, the team will be even stronger. This year will require a major effort to succeed. Knowing all this, we may just pull it off!

With the hard work of TerraCycle and brands large and small around the world, the Loop store - https://loopstore.com/ - is now live for residents of Paris and the Mid-Atlantic United States.
Loop is a global circular shopping platform designed to eliminate the idea of waste by transforming the products and packaging of everyday items from single-use to durable, multi-use, feature-packed designs. Working in the US with Walgreens and Krogers and many additional partners, this program is a first ever effort to bring major brand products to your door and back to the brands to clean and reuse packaging. The modern milkman may look more like a UPS driver, and they very well may be changing the game of how we get our everyday household products, without all the single use waste.
While we know there are some awesome smaller scale versions of this idea out there already (check out www.PlaineProducts.com, for example, & use coupon code "UPSTREAM" for 20% off!), Loop has the attention of just about everyone working on the global plastic challenge for the potential scalability and game-changing nature of this solution. In this interview we learn all about the ins and outs, challenges and promise of the Loop pilot from Terracycle's Anthony Rossi.
Listen now to The Modern Milkman & subscribe to The Indisposable Podcast to stay tuned into more game-changing inspirations!

I hate to say we never saw that coming, but the writing has been on the wall for, well, two seasons now. TMZ is reporting that Adrienne Maloof and Dr. Paul Nassif are headed for splitsville!
Apparently it was Dr. Paul who decided to file for legal separation from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, who is well aware of his intentions. The couple has made multiple attempts to work out their issues, but to no avail.
Adding to the story is RadarOnline who claims the demanding filming schedule and the strain of being involved with a reality show has been a leading cause for their marital issues.
"There is no other person. It's for a variety of reasons that they are contemplating separation. Adrienne was dragged through the dirt during filming of the upcoming season, and it really wore on her," a source reveals.
"Paul and Adrienne have always fought, it's how they were as a couple. However, at this point, they realize that they are just want very different things, and neither one of them is happy in the marriage," the insider adds.
However – there is hope. The couple isn't ready to divorce just yet! "Neither one is ready to pull the plug and file for divorce, they are trying to figure out the best way to deal with this, and there is a lot of love between Paul and Adrienne," another insider explains.
"If they didn't love each other as much as they do, either one would just walk away without looking back. They aren't at that stage yet, and are discussing a separation."
Adrienne is allegedly slowing down her filming schedule. Tonight the cast of RHOBH is scheduled to film at an undisclosed location, but Adrienne is contemplating avoiding the drama.
"Adrienne might not even go because of all the issues going on in her personal life. Adrienne is putting her family first, and she just doesn't know if she is ready to face the other women after everything that has transpired over this past season," says the insider.
UPDATE: Minutes ago Adrienne released a statement confirming the separation. "I'm so sorry that this is happening but my children are my life and sometimes we need to do what's best for them," Adrienne said in a statement to RadarOnline.
Adrienne reveals their marriage has been "on the rocks" and it is because of their children that she wants to end things. "It's an unfortunate situation but, I have to have my kids best interest at heart," she concludes.
Wow – this is both shocking and totally not shocking at the same time. Can Bravo keep Paul next season instead of Adrienne? I've come to see him as the voice of reason.

The Singh Family, Wokingham
Our stay at Blue Elvin was fabulous from start to finish. Perfect Stays offered exceptional service and nothing was too much trouble. To have that attitude today is rare and stands out.
The view from Blue Elvin is exceptional – it's like being at the end of the world with a view that allows you to free up space in your head and imagine. It's a very calm place and the village of Newlyn feels special. Every person I met had time to talk and smile. No wonder people go back to Cornwall time and time again. The house was fitted with beautiful bedding, gorgeous home ware and had a stunning garden. Nothing had been missed. It truly felt like the best place to stay.
Stay in this award-winning, contemporary holiday home in Newlyn with dramatic views across Mount's Bay & St Michael's Mount.
Contrasting playfully with its cosy Cornish surroundings from the outside, within, Blue Elvin is a warm, homely abode with lofty ceilings and cosy furnishings, adorned in eclectic Designer Guild fabrics by Christian Lacroix and Howard Hodgkin. Designed for the demands of a large family retreat, or for special occasions, groups will appreciate the ease of coming together in the spacious open plan living space, opening up onto an extensive sea view balcony, or splitting off to the games room for a round of pool or languishing in the snug TV room.
Further versatility is offered with four beautifully appointed bedrooms – 3 of which provide the choice of a super king or twin, and each benefiting from an en-suite. Two bedrooms on the ground floor enhance the accessibility of Blue Elvin for guests with limited mobility, one of which boasts a spacious wet room en-suite.
Located on the outskirts of Mousehole, exploring the surrounding bays and coastline couldn't be easier. Amble along the waterfront into Newlyn to sample the freshest fish caught in one of the largest fishing fleets in the UK, explore Penzance's abundance of eateries and tucked-away art galleries, or take a walk along the causeway to visit the island castle of St Michael's Mount. The iconic peninsula of Land's End, surrounded by the counties' most spectacular beaches is just a short drive away, while Sennen Cove and St Ives offer yet more in the way of beach languishing, fine dining and water sports.

It is an ideal solution for families with young children and group of friends that can be accommodated in nearby houses. The bar area, with the small amphitheatre, offers charming views of Ios Village and the beautiful church Agia Irini. It is the "square" – meeting point of the small village.
Periodically it hosts exhibitions, musical and theatrical performances. It offers an ideal choice for travelers that appreciate the beauty of Cycladic environment and architecture.
Fine diningThe cafe-bar of the hotel stands on the beach. Enjoy fresh juices, coffees, drinks, fresh snacks and sweets.
The beauty of IosIn Ios you will find beaches of unique beauty with crystal waters. It is an ideal summer holiday destination.
Our visitors
We stayed in a lovely stone house overlooking the bay. The sandy beach is great and it even has some trees that provide much needed shade. The location is very convenient near the town. The owners were very helpful. They gave us a lot of useful information about the island. We would definitely come back again!

Over 109 million children in the developing world have now received pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV)
The rollout of pneumonia vaccine has prevented the deaths of over half a million children in developing countries over the past decade, Dr Seth Berkley, CEO of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, said today.
Since 2007, 109 million children have received pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV), which protects against the leading cause of pneumonia, with the support of Gavi. Vaccination coverage in Gavi-supported countries has now reached 41%, up from 35% in 2015 and almost equaling the global average of 42%.
"Hundreds of thousands of children in the world's poorest countries are alive today thanks to pneumococcal vaccine," said Dr Berkley. "I'm immensely proud of the role Gavi has played in expanding access to this lifesaver over the past ten years, but millions of children remain unprotected. This is an entirely preventable, treatable disease that still takes the lives of more children than any other illness, causing untold needless suffering. We cannot afford to lose focus in the fight against pneumonia."
This year marks the tenth anniversary of the launch of the Advance Market Commitment (AMC). Children in the poorest countries typically received newly developed vaccines more than a decade later than children in the richest countries. With help from the AMC developing countries began to introduce the latest formulations of PCV as soon as a year after they were first made available.
Funded by Italy, UK, Canada, Russia, Norway and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, this unique financing mechanism has allowed eligible countries to access affordable PCV vaccines at a cost of less than 10% of the US market price. Gavi has now helped 58 countries across Africa and Asia to introduce the vaccine into their routine immunisation programmes.
However, pneumonia remains the biggest killer of children under 5 worldwide, killing more than malaria, diarrhoea and measles combined. Nearly one million children, more than 80% of which are under two years old, die from the disease every year. PCV, Hib and measles vaccines are some of the most effective ways to prevent the disease.
This week in Bahrain global health experts are set to agree on the final vaccine indicators for the SDGs, setting the framework for global immunisation efforts until 2030. Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance is calling for coverage of the third dose of PCV, among other vital vaccines, to be included as an indicator to ensure the global health community does not lose focus on expanding access to this lifesaving vaccine.
Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance is supported by donor governments (Australia, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, the People's Republic of China, Republic of Korea, Russia, South Africa, Spain, the State of Qatar, the Sultanate of Oman, Sweden, United Kingdom, and United States), the European Commission, Alwaleed Philanthropies, the OPEC Fund for International Development (OFID), the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, as well as private and corporate partners (Absolute Return for Kids, Anglo American plc., The Children's Investment Fund Foundation, China Merchants Group, Comic Relief, Deutsche Post DHL, the ELMA Vaccines and Immunization Foundation, Girl Effect, The International Federation of Pharmaceutical Wholesalers (IFPW), the Gulf Youth Alliance, JP Morgan, "la Caixa" Foundation, LDS Charities, Lions Clubs International Foundation, Majid Al Futtaim, Philips, Unilever, UPS and Vodafone).
