WHETHER this turns out to be two points dropped or a point gained by the Martyrs will become evident at the end of the season, but it was Merthyr who will feel they should have won the game in the latter stages.
Going in front in just 45 seconds through Ryan Prosser's thunderous drive from the edge of the box, Merthyr looked on course for yet another successful away day.
But the home side, also on a fine run of form, had other ideas and drew level on 16 minutes when Mike Carter saw his low drive from 25 yards squeeze into the corner despite the despairing dive of goalkeeper Giles Cutlan.
Cutlan will have been disappointed not to have kept that out, but had little chance with Barry Mason's close-range header two minutes after the restart that put Sholing ahead direct from a corner.
However, Merthyr got their act together in the final third of the game and on 67 minutes Prosser got his second goal with a shot from 18 yards that goalkeeper Matt Brown could only get a touch to.
Merthyr piled on the pressure in the final stages and, with Sholing obviously settling for a point, it was they who were pleased to hear the final whistle.

Bjorn-gil Felag; Rancho Cucamonga, California
If a stranger walks up to you and asks for help to find something, you help them. It could very well be Odin or Frigga His wife, maybe even Freyja or Freyr who are brother and sister, or any one of the many other gods and goddesses. After all, you should never be afraid to help someone who is truly in need of help. One day you too may need help.
But the number one rule is Never, Ever, step into a stranger's car or their house. It could be a god/dess testing to see how good you have become at these things. Not unlike the story of Hansel and Gretel.
They went into a mean witch's house and were going to be cooked. But they tricked her and she was cooked instead.
When you are at school or something, waiting for your mom or dad or some other family member, and a stranger comes up to you and says, "Come on, your parents told me to come pick you up." Run and tell a teacher or worker at the place you're at, or someone who you feel you can trust, like another parent or security guard about the stranger.
When your family member does arrive to get you tell them what happened too! When you see your parents, get together and tell them you want to set up a "pickup password" so that way when they send someone you may not recognize you will know it is safe to go with this person because they will have the password.
Then, the next time a stranger comes up to you and says mom and dad sent him, or her, all you have to do is ask them for the password. If they don't know it, then do the same thing, go tell someone. Then it will work better and you can feel safe. After that you should start hanging out with friends so you won't be alone.
a list of things to do:
1.) Walk with a friend when ever you can.
2.) Help a person with directions if you know the way.
3.) Give a stranger in need water/food if any is handy.
4.) Help fix the injured any way you can or get help.
5.) Help a person when you see their car is broke down.
6.) If a person asks if a room is handy, offer them a place to sleep.
a list of things not to do:
1.) Don't go into a stranger's car or house for anything.
2.) Don't go with someone not knowing who they are.
3.) Don't take any drink, food or candy offered from a stranger.
4.) Never help a stranger look for their dog in the bushes.
5.) Never beleive you won't be harmed if you don't scream.
6.) When your parents offer a ride to strangers try not to sit in back with them.

NEW YORK -- On Wednesday morning when Nebraska chancellor Harvey Perlman said college football's playoff revenue distribution formula was finalized, North Carolina State athletics director Debbie Yow and Missouri athletics director Mike Alden both essentially said, "That's news to me."
"I haven't seen it," said Yow, speaking on a panel at the IMG Intercollegiate Athletics forum. "The distribution formula will be the single biggest thing to ever happen in college sports."
Perlman said conference commissioners will likely make the formula available when "we put dollars to it."
So let the fighting begin over how the pie will be sliced. "It was contentious," Perlman told USA TODAY Sports. "I'm sure they went through a lot of drafts and a lot of negotiations which you would expect. But in the end, they all arrived in a place where the presidents were comfortable. We all left the room singing Kumbia."
The most controversial part? "In the end how much do I get?" Perlman said. "There's a balance between access and money. The smaller conferences have to figure that out. What do they want? More teams playing or more revenue? That's the balance that was done and I think they were satisfied. … Every conference agreed to it and wasn't with a gun to their head. This is a fair distribution."

Gulfport, MS (PRWEB) April 22, 2014
The site of the former Chateau Charmant condominiums – a popular vacation spot – is up for auction April 26, 2014 on online real estate auction market leader Micoley.com.
The property at 4512 W Beach Blvd in Gulfport, now vacant land due to Hurricane Katrina, is an ideal spot for redevelopment due to a number of factors, not least of which is the land's proximity to New Orleans, the Florida Panhandle, casinos, and sandy beaches along the coast. This coastal property, which boasts 2.76 acres of beautiful parcel facing the Mississippi Sound, provides a great opportunity to transform back into a popular attraction for tourists and vacationers.
The list price for the land is $599,500 with pre-auction offers accepted up until the online auction begins on April 26. The opening bid begins at $395,000 if no offers are received before the auction date.
The Chateau Charmant – translated to "charming house" in French – was one of the original timeshares to find a home along the Gulf Coast when it originated nearly 25 years ago. Visitors enjoyed a unit that lived up to its name with friendly personal touches from the owners and managers.
The seller representative spoke at length about how beloved and valued the Chateau Charmant was to the community, but admitted: "Our owners are elderly, and rebuilding post-Katrina was too distant a dream for most of them. Given their age, we believe that auctioning the property is in our best interest."
The recovery from Hurricane Katrina is clear with the vibrant activity emerging from the downtown Gulfport area. The spot is mere minutes from attractions such as the Island View Casino along I-90, or just up US 49 to the Gulf Islands Waterpark which features miles of slides set alongside historic Mississippi and Gulf Coast imagery and landmarks.
To interested buyers, this presents a great development or investment opportunity: the land itself is level and ready to build on, and is located right along the beach, near themeparks, casinos, and New Orleans. Thanks to their innovative hybrid strategy, the Micoley.com team is uniquely qualified to specialize in assisting buyers and sellers with opportunities just like this one.
The online-only auction is scheduled to take place Saturday, April 26, 11:00a.m. to 2:00p.m. central time. Interested parties should visit micoley.com to find more photos and details about the property, or by visiting in person and performing an inspection on site, which is highly recommended. (866) 371-3619 is Micoley.com's information line. Additionally, Micoley.com features a live chat service through which questions can be answered.

Of Sardars and Sarkars
Syed Fazl-e-Haider
Since Pakistan's independence in 1947, the people of Balochistan have been exploited and discriminated against by successive sardars (tribal chiefs) and sarkars (regimes both military and civilian). The British colonial system provided full support to the tribal ruling class under the Frontier Crimes Regulation Act (1901) and backed the sardars loyal to the Raj. If the centuries-old sardari system is generally blamed for the prevailing backwardness in the province, the governments and bureaucracies have perpetuated the system.
Successive sarkars in Islamabad left the people of Balochistan at the mercy of the sardars. The latter continued to exploit, while the former facilitated the exploitation through policies of neglect and discrimination. Both parties were motivated by the sole agenda of perpetuating their rule, and they developed a somewhat symbiotic relationship with the common man on the receiving end. At the local level people were oppressed and deprived of basic rights and freedoms; at the official level they were discriminated against and neglected.
The institution of the sardar was formally abolished by the System of Sardari (Abolition) Act, 1976. Ironically, it says in the preamble: "The system of sardari, prevalent in certain parts of Pakistan, is the worst remnant of the oppressive feudal and tribal system which, being derogatory to human dignity and freedom, is repugnant to the spirit of democracy and equality as enunciated by Islam and enshrined in the constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and opposed to the economic advancement of the people."
Neither the sardars nor the sarkars had an agenda for the socio-economic uplift of the people of the province. Today, it has fallen almost a century behind the country's other, better-developed regions.
Balochistan's social-sector indicators place it in the category of the least developed and most backward provinces of the country. This is the result of using the measure of rupees per capita instead of the provision of public service per capita for distribution from the divisible pool over the past six decades.
Already trapped in poverty and underdevelopment, Balochistan had to bear the additional economic, social and human costs of a number of military operations. These brought more destruction and intensified the feelings of alienation in the province. Baloch nationalist parties gave some hope to the people but ultimately, they failed or became part of the problem.
Then emerged a group of urbanised, educated youth who were equally frustrated with the sardars, the sarkars and the nationalists. Today the separatists, who are operating outside the country's constitutional framework, are fuelling the fire of a struggle for an independent Balochistan. Target killings, bomb blasts and attacks on public properties, gas installations and police and law-enforcement agencies have become routine.
The delineation of separatists from nationalists would be a step in the right direction but currently, they are being treated as synonymous. The assassination of moderate Baloch nationalist leaders such as Habib Jalib, who was killed by unidentified assassins in Quetta in 2010, has strengthened the separatists' hand. The repression of nationalist forces will cause this process to continue.
Separatism needs to be contained through strengthening Baloch nationalists. If the nationalist parties were successful in redressing the people's grievances, the separatists would lose support.
The crisis in Balochistan spans economic, social and political dimensions. Its resolution demands a realistic approach that addresses the root causes. The issue is the imposition of the centre's own version of development of the province's resources; it is about giving the province a sense of ownership.
The US has not served the Baloch cause by voicing its concerns. In fact, the US is guided by its own geopolitical interests. The province, however, is reeling under the repercussions of the US-led wars in Afghanistan, first launched against Soviet forces during the early '80s and then against the Taliban. But for how long will we protest over American concern and comments on the issue?
If a person's house is on fire, he'd better invest all his energies in extinguishing the blaze rather than asking others to stop voicing their concern. Balochistan is Pakistan's internal matter and it is up to this country to put its own house in order.

Now that we are truly dealing with high bandwidth 4K UHD content, CIE's HowToAV team investigates the latest Premium grade HDMI cables and how they can improve your AV system performance...
In the world of HDMI there are a number of different standards available in the market, for instance:
The introduction of high speed transmissions up to 10.2 Gbps.
Introduced 3G 4k which is 4k UHD at 30 Hz 8-bit 4:4:4 LPCM audio.
The benefits of full 6G processing for content delivered up to 4k UHD at 60 Hz 8-bit 4:4:4 and even up to 32 channels of audio, 4:2:0 chroma sub-sampling that can cut you bandwidth in half by minimising the colour data sent to your panel, 4k at 30 Hz 12-bit deep colour and HDR10 support.
HDMI 2.1 promises full dynamic frame by frame dynamic HDR.
No there are actually only 3 categories that you should be aware of, Standard, Highspeed and Premium:
Standard HDMI Cable is perfectly suited to support resolution outputs such as Sky HD 1080i 50 Hz 8-bit 4:4:4.
Highspeed HDMI cable is guaranteed to deliver 3G 10.2 Gbps video transmission or resolutions such as 4k UHD 60 Hz 8-bit 4:4:4, but be mindful of cable distance when delivering these types of resolutions and keep them under 7m - personally I'd advise 5m where possible.
Now that we're truly dealing with high bandwidth video transmission that requires the full capability of your highspeed cable which is 18 Gbps, your high speed cables are starting to fail and becoming intermittent in performance!
So 4k UHD content that is being delivered at 60 Hz 8-bit 4:4:4 or content that can deliver a wider colour gamut and HDR metadata such as 4k UHD 30 Hz 10-bit 4:4:4 and even the full promise of SKYQ 4k UHD 50 Hz 10-bit 4:2:0 you are likely to fall in to a few issues.
The new premium HDMI cable uses superior materials, improved wire management in terms of how each pair is twisted and soldered and added shielding to minimise Electro Magnetic Interference.
Fundamentally, a basic high speed cable untwists the internal pairs before termination whereas the premium cable is twisted and soldered right up to the pin.
As we see more and more UHD content coming to our screens, we're going to find Premium HDMI cables become the new standard for high bandwidth 4k UHD video transmission.

I realize I haven't posted recently on finds I love. I have been doing more Pinning that posting. But I thought the latest from Charlotte Olympia has been the greatest, and so it deserved a post. Plus, I've already pinned all these up the wazoo. I think it's no secret that I love vintage things. Vintage perfume bottles are a particular favorite of mine. I like the atomizers, the shapes, the glass. So when Ms. Olympia's collection of clutches came out shaped like these treasures I near fainted (from looking at the price too). I'm hoping with some time I can find these on sale.*Fingers crossed* But still, how clever are these clutches?? Never seen anything like them. The remainder of her new collection is very Parisian. It is so playful with the poodles and the sayings. J'adore! My pick is the pair of Eiffel Tower sandals. Je t'aime Charlotte! She is definitely one of my favorite designers at the moment.

You Can't Fake Fashion
Peter Som
Alice & Olivia
Dana Lorenz for Fenton
Robert Rodriguez
Sam Edelman - my personal fave
The CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) is taking a stand against fakes. This is not an issue talked about often, but it is an issue nonetheless. When people or stores sell imitation handbags they typically don't think anything of it. Sure, they re-printed a monogram or a double C and stuck it on a bag or sunglasses, and give the consumer a bargain. What's the harm right?
Actually a lot. Just like you wouldn't want someone replicating your jewelry design exactly and selling it cheaper on a rival Etsy site, these designers worked hard to have their work not be plagiarized. I know they make lots of money off of a single bag, and in the long run if they lose a couple hundred here and there it's no big deal to them, but it is the principle of the thing.
And speaking as a shopper, I think there is something to be said about the consumer who is willing to buy these fakes. If you know it's a fake and don't care, then don't buy an exact replica. Buy something with a different monogram or different color scheme. You know it's fake anyway, so why try to hide it? If you want the real thing but are buying fake because you think $900 for a bag is too much, I agree with you! But there are ways to buy authentic items at a fraction of the cost. I like to think I have spoken to that again and again on this blog. There is eBay, Bonanza, Crossroads Trading, Buffalo Exchange, consignment stores, even Goodwill can carry designer deals. And these items are not always used! So if you want the real thing, you can have it -- at any price point -- no excuses!
But the worst is when you want the real thing and are duped into buying something un-authentic. It has happened to me before. And while I was young in my affair with fashion, and would certainly know better now, I still feel bad for my young self, who just wanted a Louis Vuitton bag, but was in college. I thought I scored a deal, buying one for $250 from a nail salon. Even the inside had the Made in Paris engravings. But a quick education online and in stores, and I realized I shouldn't have bought that bag. I was way too scarred to go on eBay, so I waited until I went to San Francisco and spent twice as much on a smaller bag, but one from the actual Louis Vuitton store. It was one of the most memorable moments of my life. And I'm sorry if that sounds cheesy or materialistic, but it is true. You pay for an experience. A designer piece represents hard work that pays off and speaks to your personal style. It's like the Sex and the City episode where they talk about the fake Fendi ; )
Bottom line: anytime you knowingly pass something off as something it isn't, it's just plain wrong.
If we truly believe in authenticity that means being genuine as a person, in your relationships, and in the causes you support. The CFDA has teamed up with 90 designers to embellish bags that celebrate original design. These bags are getting auctioned off via eBay, starting at $100 and ending on March 25th. All proceeds benefit the CFDA Foundation, fighting to preserve original design. My favorites are above and I am very tempted to bid -- because real fashion and real style is my real passion. I could never fake that.
Happy Shopping!

Daisie & Calvin Got Married
I really do love a good wedding. All the wedding writing in my past (and future, I hope) has really informed this preference. As my friend Tracy Schultz once told me, "there is something magical that happens when all the people you love are together in the same room." And she's right. I don't love weddings because I am a die-hard romantic or because I love dancing or a good party (but I do love a good party - let's get that straight). I love it because all the people I love come together for the event. We all support one another, get dressed up, and toast to the other's happiness. If you can't be happy for your friends, what is the point of living?
Being invited to a wedding reinforces that sense of familial love. I am honored to be included on a guest list and to share in those life-defining moments of the people I am closest to. Life is so funny with its twists and turns. It is in those spirals that you oftentimes meet some great friends. That was the case when I met Calvin. He was close to my good friend Yayoi, who traveled all the way from Japan to celebrate with us.
It was such a beautiful wedding and reception that we didn't even realize we had sat on the bride's side of the aisle during the ceremony. And when we found out, it didn't matter, because a long time ago Daisie had fallen into our group, our family. It was like she had always been there, and now I am so happy she and Calvin will always be there for each other.

Taste of Temecula
So I know I have talked about my love of Temecula and wine tasting before, but we went again a couple weeks ago for a Friday trip and it really was perfection. I love how wine forces us to appreciate the passage of time. What takes years in the making can be sipped down in a matter of seconds. Wine is about appreciating and savoring. We pour, we smell, we swirl, we eye, and we slowly enjoy working our way up to the swallow. If only we could appreciate everything in life like we do a glass of red or white.
It has taken me so long to work (both in my career and in my relationships) up to this point where I feel truly happy. I loved taking this odd day off to taste, smell, and touch the drops of success, of rest, of relaxation. I hope you are all taking the time to relax and slow down, and enjoy where you are right about now.

jQuery webPrejudice Plugin
I believe most developers have been experiencing compatiblity issues with so-called brwosers. I know you have spent lots of time fixing pages to grace all browsers. So have I. I feel distressed, exhausted when finishing tweaking. The last words I want to voice out ---- I hate this!
Why not ask visitors to change another browser?! This plugin is set to list pros and cons of various browsers and recommend visitors to alter their browser!
- jQuery Libary, just download from jQuery Official Site
- webPrejudice script file. You can download it from below
- a little knowledge on xhtml and js
This plugin will check the type and version of the browser the visitor is using, and show a UI box to recommend visitors to change his browser, etc.

I like your black hair, and you do it well being so tan! Not very many people can pull it off and still be cute! So than Matt knew you the whole time with black hair before getting married? was he surprised when you went blonde? maybe you should do it again, eh?

Mikaeel Kular died from internal bleeding and abdominal inflammation known as "peritonitis", according to his death certificate.
The three-year-old was found dead in a woodland in Fife after his disappearance prompted a major search of the area on January 15.
His mother Rosdeep, 33, has been charged with his murder and has been remanded at Cornton Vale jail near Stirling.
She has appeared twice in court in Edinburgh and entered no plea or declaration.
According to the Daily Record, a registrar in Kirkcaldy released the certificate, which listed the cause of death as "peritonitis and intra-abdominal haemorrhage" and an investigation of the facts of the case was still pending.
Peritonitis is inflammation of the peritoneum, the thin layer of tissue that lines the inside of the abdomen.
His death was registered by his step-grandfather, Mr B Krishnaswamy. Time and place of death was listed as "04.02 on 18 January" in "Woodland behind Dunvegan Avenue, Kirkcaldy".
A major search of the area was launched after his mother reported him missing from their home in Ferry Gait Crescent, Edinburgh.
But within less than 36 hours a property in Kirkcaldy and the woodland behind it were being investigated, where the toddler was later discovered.
Hundreds of mourners left floral tributes and soft toys for him outside the house.
One note read: "We don't know you but you belonged to our community".


text: James Ellis was recently featured in the Fall 2009 Campaign for LASC by one of my favorite photographers and makeup artists, Bradford Rogne. James is a well-known male model all over the world wide web. James has an impeccable body, with great abdominal definition that would make any guy jealous and run the gym right away. James also have a great Adonis shape (or V-shape as I like to call it), that really works to his advantage for underwear-type shoots such as this one. This shoot is very similar to the one done with Jakub Stefano also photographer by Bradford. Many action shots and amazing muscular bodies seem to be the theme here, and who can complain? Enjoy these great shots of James!

Parent together
If taking on the political world wasn't hard enough, Henry and Elizabeth must also be parents of a family in the public eye. They approach their family situations much like their work ones: as a team, like as we saw in "Spartan Figures" (Season 1, Episode 19).
Henry: [about their decision to sell the farm] We gotta tell the kids.
Elizabeth: Yeah, you do. It's gonna be rough. They love it here. We're not ruining their lives, are we?
Henry: If we haven't ruined their lives already, believe me, this isn't gonna do it.
Elizabeth: Okay. But, if anybody starts crying, can I say that it was your idea?
Henry: My-? Okay. Sure.

Glaciers from the Wanga Valley.
Photographer: Bourne, Samuel
Medium: Photographic print
Date: 1863
Photograph of glaciers from the Wanga Valley, taken by Samuel Bourne in 1863. By the 1860s, commercial photography was becoming well-established in India and this growing market attracted the young Nottingham photographer Samuel Bourne (1834-1912) to the subcontinent in 1863. During a residence of seven years, Bourne produced thousands of landscape and architectural views, but his fame and the success of his studio, rests primarily on the results of three arduous photographic expeditions to Kashmir and the Himalayas. This view was taken during Bourne's First Himalayan Expedition, July 29-Oct 12, 1863.

Listview in virtual mode .net winform:
virtual mode is usefull for larg number of data.
two main property for listview in virtual mode
1. virtual mode=true
2. VirtualListSize=10000 //should be morethan 0
main event for virtual mode
void listView1_RetrieveVirtualItem(object sender, RetrieveVirtualItemEventArgs e)
e.Item = new ListViewItem(x.ToString());
Setting the VirtualMode property to true puts the ListView into virtual mode. In Virtual mode, the normal Items collection is unused. Instead, ListViewItem objects are created dynamically as the ListView requires them.
Virtual mode can be useful under many circumstances. If a ListView object must be populated from a very large collection already in memory, creating a ListViewItem object for each entry can be wasteful. In virtual mode, only the items required are created. In other cases, the values of the ListViewItem objects may need to be recalculated frequently, and doing this for the whole collection would produce unacceptable performance. In virtual mode, only the required items are calculated.
In order to use virtual mode, you must handle the RetrieveVirtualItem event, which is raised every time the ListView requires an item. This event handler should create the ListViewItem object that belongs at the specified index. In addition, the VirtualListSize property must be set to the size of the virtual list.
Handling the SearchForVirtualItem event enables searching in virtual mode. If this event is not handled, the FindItemWithText and FindNearestItem methods will return nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
You can handle the CacheVirtualItems event in order to maintain a cache of ListViewItem objects. If the calculation or lookup to create a ListViewItem object is expensive, maintaining a cache can improve performance.
If the View property is set to Tile, the value will automatically be changed to LargeIcon when VirtualMode is set to true.
In virtual mode, the Items collection is disabled. Attempting to access it results in an InvalidOperationException. The same is true of the CheckedItems collection and the SelectedItems collection. If you want to retrieve the selected or checked items, use the SelectedIndices and CheckedIndices collections instead.

Ireland start their ICC T20 World Cup campaign when they face Namibia, at Stormont, on Friday.
John Bracewell's side also face USA, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, Hong Kong and Jersey in Group A and if they top their group they will have booked their place in India next year.
Skipper William Porterfield he believes this is just another tournament for the boys in green to continue to show what they are all about.
"Things have gone well so far but we just have to bring it all together on the day, starting on Friday," he said.
"We have to go into these tournaments and win them and progress in World Cup's, so it's non-negotiable for ourselves being at a major competition, so when it comes to these tournaments we just don't want to qualify, we want to win them."
The former Donemana man also concedes that the International Cricket Council should develop the game rather than cut the number of teams at the World Cup.
The Irish narrowly missed out on a place in the quarter-finals, but may not feature in 2019 50-over format when the tournament is reduced from 14 to 10 teams. At the ICC's recent annual conference the competition, which takes place in England, wasn't even discussed.
"I don't know what actually happened at the meeting but I just don't think they discussed about increasing the World Cup, but until the ICC actually come out and say anything then my option, which I have made pretty clear, won't change," Porterfield added.
"No other sport in the world is reducing teams from competitions. In fact everyone is increasing participation and numbers from football to rugby.
"The European Championships have increased their numbers and the Rugby World Cup have come out and said the next two world cups they want to increase their numbers; so every other sport in the world is doing it apart from cricket.
We have to go into these tournaments and win them and progress in World Cup's, so it's non-negotiable for ourselves being at a major competitionWilliam Porterfield
"So the board if they do make that decision and decrease the numbers at the next World Cup, then they need to come out and give us an explanation, so we have to wait for that announcement."
Porterfield is hoping that Ireland will return to his old stamping ground in the not too distant future, after last month's games against Scotland were a success.
"By all accounts it was a good few days at Bready, but obviously results didn't go our way, but a lot of lads will have learned from those games against Scotland," he said.
"Obviously Davy Rankin made his debut and it was good for the other North West men to gain more experience and get a taste of it and want more.
"As long as that is happening and they are getting that little bit of exposure then I know they'll want more and look to break into the side.
"Qualifying for major tournaments and having a few players from the North West area in the squad, then it's going to increase the sport no end.
"At the minute in the squad we have Andrew McBrine, Craig Young, Stuart Thompson and Graeme McCarter, who are all young lads who are still playing in the North West and playing for the Warriors and hopefully a lot of the younger players in the area will want to follow in their footsteps."

Robert Stein, Deputy Director of the Dallas Museum of Art, today announced the appointment of Shyam Oberoi as the Director of Technology and Digital Media. Currently the General Manager of Collections Information Services at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Oberoi brings extensive experience in IT, software development, digital imaging and online collections. He will assume his new position on April 14, 2014.
"I'm very pleased that Shyam Oberoi will join the DMA next month as our Director of Technology and Digital Media, and I'm excited to bring him to Dallas," said Stein. "With his significant expertise and his successful track record of managing complex projects, I am confident that under his direction the DMA will make major strides in reaching audiences with new digital initiatives while maintaining the Museum's tradition of excellence online."
In his new role at the DMA, Oberoi will lead the Museum's digital and technical initiatives as well as the staff in IT, software development, digital media, and the photography and imaging departments. He will manage a diverse range of projects, many of which will chart the future of digital media and technology for the Dallas Museum of Art as they seek to positively impact the field of museums. Oberoi will also chair the Museum's web team and lead projects to digitize the Museum's permanent collection, creating one of the most sophisticated online art collections in the world.
"Time magazine recently declared that 'Texas is America's Future.' Similarly, I believe that initiatives such as the DMA Friends program; DMX, its international exchange program; and the opening of the new Paintings Conservation Studio point to the future of museums," said Oberoi. "It is tremendously exciting to have the opportunity to be a part of an institution that is so committed to exploring the digital intersection of art, audience and technology."
Oberoi joined the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2006 and for the past two years has served as the General Manager of Collections Information Services in the Digital Media Department. At the Met, he also worked on the 2011 re-launch of the museum's website and the transformation of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's online collection. Earlier, he managed a department responsible for the archiving of the museum's image, audio and video content and the licensing and distribution of these materials. Prior to his appointment at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Oberoi served as the Information Technology Officer at Gabriel & Co., an international fashion designer and manufacturer in New York; a software engineer at Thor Technologies, Inc.; and a software developer with the New York City Bar Association.
Oberoi holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Computer Science from Manhattan College and a Master of Arts degree in English from New York University. He will work closely with and report to the DMA's Deputy Director.

This is what I wish for next Christmas.
Every year my relatives ask me what I like so that
they do not have to buy me stuff I need to give to others in
order to get rid of it :))) So this year I figured I will keep my
eyes open for beautiful little things which make me happy
and are not tooo expensive so that they would make a
perfect Christmas gift for me and my dear friends.
Here is one of the things I found. Jewelry made
by the German label TomShot. Whatever is
going to be picked...I am sure I will love it.
And so will you!!!

I strat with MC 2018-5, but the frame flex don't run correctly. I use PC.
When I want change the frame flex from 16/9 to 2.1 , I can see the grid changing in 2.1 but no black mask, the result don't change. I think is a bug with this news version.
Please help me !
What OS?
This is weird.... so you see the green dot showing that FrameFlex is in action and correctly sets the aspect ratio on the clip in the sequence?
What happens if you update the sequence by right-clicking on the sequence, then selecting Refresh Sequence -> Aspect Ratio and Reformatting Options?

Hi Marianna
I've the same issue here. Just tested 2018.5 on OS X 10.12.6 and 10.13.4.
Frame Flex Letterbox/Pillarbox setting on AMA Links, Masterclips or Subclips does not apply in source settings window, source nor at record monitor. The grid looks correctly but no black bars are shown. Scale, Center & Crop seems to work.
Issue exists on existing projects or newley created ones. Also creaed a new user settings, it doesn't help.
Source Setting Frame Flex is applied to clip in timeline and effect symbol showed correctly (green dot). Changing in effect editor does also not as well as refresh sequence does not help, bars are not shown at all.

I have created a case on this # 03492191
Support will get on it asap.
Hi Marianna,
Please see this:

Hi Marianna,
Please see this:
MCCET-2462 | MC - FrameFlex bug (Slam Disques) [Case : 03474811]
Yes should have caught that. Fixed in 2018.5.1 which wasnt released but will be out in 2018.6 this month.
Great! Thanks a lot for your fast reply. Hope 2018.6 will be released soon since we are setting up all editing workstations at our school in the next few days.
I have the same problem!
2018.7 is coming.......
Has this been solved in Version 8? I have UHD and 4K footage that I have AMA'd in a 4K flat project and we are delivering in 1.85 and some of the footage looks stretched Vertically at points and some Horizontally, as if the frame flex isn't working right.
This came about in 2018.5 and was fixed in 2018.5.1 and higher.
If you are seeing this in an earlier version then I suggest you get a case going with support so they can look at it.

When my slave goes off to work, I worry about her sometimes. I worry that she may think that she's there just to do a job and forget that she's first and foremost a sex toy.
So, to ensure that she is always aware of being a slave and that she is always toy for pleasure — I sometimes make her wear a butt plug to work. Before she leaves, I lube up a pink butt plug and make her bend over, exposing her cute little butt hole. I gently slide the butt plug up her ass, slowly, enjoying how it looks (and also, it's kinda big as it is designed to stretch her ass a bit so she can easily take my cock whenever I choose.) As soon as the plug starts to narrow again, her hungry asshole swallows it up and pulls it into position.
Then I make sure she wears a cute thong to hold it in place.
She goes off to work, filled. Then, as she moves throughout the day, serving customers, she always has the sensation of butt plug reminding her that she is a slut. And she returns home, she is horn and wants nothing more but for me to remove the butt plug and fuck her ass.

Remains of the Rani Wav or Queen's Well, Patan
Photographer: Cousens, Henry
Medium: Photographic print
Date: 1885
Photograph of the remains of the Rani Wav or Queen's Well at Patan in Gujarat, taken by Henry Cousens in the 1880s, from the Archaeological Survey of India Collections. The city of Patan was formerly called Anhilvada or Anhilpur and was established in 765 by Vanaraja, the first king of the Chavada dynasty. The Queen's Well was built in the late 11th century to the north-west of Patan, by Udaymati, the wife of Raja Bhima. It is one of the finest step-wells of Gujarat. Multi-storey colonnades connect a stepped tank with a circular well; columns, brackets and wall panels are embellished with ornate carving. Only fragments of the well remains.

The Rise and Fall of the Gallery Wall
>> 2.02.2016
I was excited to fill it full of meaningful things that represented our family, our religion, and our style. I wanted people to take one look at that wall and know exactly what our family is about.
I collected various sizes of frames and spray painted them white, and then supplemented with a few Ikea frames. Then I arranged them on the floor so I would know which way the frames would be oriented, and then I went about filling them, which was the funnest part of all.
I was totally in love with this gallery wall for a long time, but recently I've felt the urge to change it up. One problem I've come to not like about it is that the pictures are too high up on the wall. Because we have such high ceilings, I centered the pictures on the wall so there was even space on the top and the bottom. But I wish that I would have carried the pictures down further, because I feel like they're disjointed from the furniture. Also, I feel like the small photos (some of them are 4x6) are just too little and make it look cluttered. And many of the pictures were not current and I was doing a horrible job of keeping the wall updated. Plus, I already have two other wall collages in the house, so I can easily move some of the more important prints to one of the other groupings.
So anyway, it was time for a change! I've had my eye on a metal/glass bookcase at Picker's Paradise for a long time, but it was used as a display case, so I never considered getting it. But when thinking about a change in our front room I kept going back to that bookcase. So I finally asked the owners if I could get it. Luckily they agreed and I came home with it!
I also found this great piece of art at At Home (formerly Garden Ridge) on clearance for $35. I love a good deal!
The room still looks so different to me now. I do a double take every time I pass by. I like it, although it's sad to see the gallery wall go. It's definitely a change, but change is good.

Dozens of people gathered in Peterborough city centre to remember millions of people who died as a result of the Holocaust - with the message 'be kind to each other'.
School children, councillors and dignitaries joined religious leaders and others at a service in St John's Church in the city centre for Holocaust Memorial Day.
The event started with a procession which saw the Mayor of Peterborough cllr David Sanders and other guests walking from The Town Hall to Cathedral Square, where pupils from St John Fisher Catholic High School were performing a dramatic piece.
The guests then moved into St John's Church, where readings and prayers were said.
The service was opened by Rev Canon Ian Black, and there were also readings from Omam Hafiz Akhtar Mehmood from the Faizan e Madina Mosque, Vivienne Fleet who represented the Peterborough Liberal Jewish Community and Assistant Chief Constable Nav Malik, from Cambridgeshire police.
There was also a reading from paramedic Chris Porsz, whose mum, Krystyna, survived the holocaust. A book of her stories has recently been published. Chris said the message from his mum to the world would be 'be kind.'
Children from a number of schools also performed poetry and music.
After the service finished, a wreath laying service took place at the Holocaust Memorial Stone in St John's Square.

All is well on the home front. Drew is rash and virus free, and finally has his appetite back. He's back to his usual self, full of energy. He was even able to celebrate PaPa's birthday this weekend!
I ran into the EMT's that were at our house when we called 911 last Sunday night while doing the grocery shopping on Saturday. (I was sad that Drew was at home napping, and that they couldn't see him in action.) They were so nice to us that night, so it was nice to thank them for their help and support.
I'm hoping we don't see another virus like that anytime soon.

This year we decided to cut back on our usual garden pursuits. I had spent the last year very ill with Crohn's disease and trying my best to take care of a baby and a blossoming Kindergartner. That took everything out of me, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that even watering a garden once a day was too much to ask. Elias also spent a long month trapped in a cast after breaking his elbow, and during that time the garden was off-limits. We played outside in the front yard with a gaggle of neighborhood kids, or had outdoor playdates, instead. If he went in the backyard he would sit in his unfilled pool and cry. The playing in the backyard meant playing in the water, and that was forbidden with a cast. I watered my potted plants sparingly and only when Elias napped. The garden basically didn't exist during that long, hot month.
The drought made the prospect of growing a garden a wager I wasn't willing to gamble. Even with a fancy water-wise drip irrigation system we had lackluster success with bell peppers and full-sized tomatoes. Our cherry tomatoes came in like gangbusters but they require dedicated watering, as does the pumpkin crop we've always had great success with. I didn't want to sacrifice what little water we had on crops that may or may not turn out, and I felt that it was time to give the forever-thirsty pumpkin crop a break. I didn't have the watering ability in me, and I didn't want to dedicate resources to plants that might never fruit. This year, it wasn't worth it.
But that didn't mean we didn't want a garden! We very much did. Instead we focused on native plants, drought-tolerant stuff, and our modest, low-maintenance container garden. I missed the cherry tomatoes all summer long, they most likely would have died from inattention due to my illness or Elias'. In May we planted a gargantuan amount of poppy, marigold, and sunflower seeds. Anthony and the kids cleared the weeds from the beds and prepared the soil while the kids and I planted the seeds and watered. We lavished them with attention for three and a half weeks. Nothing happened. Not one sprout appeared.
I've gone over and over it and the only conclusion I can come up with is that we were too late. By the time we got them in the ground it was already too hot and too dry, in the middle of May, for the seeds to germinate. The signs were there. We should have planted in late March, or early April in the latest, when our hummingbird friend arrived. I've never, never started a garden that early before, but this is the shift of the climate in action. It is real. And it is scary.
The poppies surprised us. Although we couldn't coax any of the seeds to sprout, we had, and continue to have, a riot of poppy blooms all summer long. Our poppy crop from the year before did not disappoint and it managed to reseed itself for this summer. I'm confident that's what happened because they are all last year's variety (Cup o' Gold) in places I didn't cover with this year's seed. This year I planted California poppies and Copperpot poppies–no Cup o' Gold. I'm hoping all those seeds we spread will bloom next year or maybe this fall, so we won't have to miss out on the orange and reddish poppies.
After an initial burst of blooming like wildfire in our flowerbed, the rest of the poppies seem to enjoy popping up in the barren wasteland that is our lawn. The patch of scrubby earth resembles the head of balding man: bare in the middle, still stubbornly clinging to life on both sides. We have watered our backyard exactly zero times this summer. After years of repeated failed attempts at growing a lawn (and finally discovering a sprinkler failure was to blame this whole time) we no longer had the will or the funds to pump into the project anymore. And since learning of the severity of the drought, it seemed immoral to try. Since our poppies seem to live the barren lawn so much, maybe next year I'll sow the whole thing over with poppies.
The kids still had a great time playing in our failed garden, before and after the month Elias spent in a cast, that is. It wasn't beautiful to look at but it was ours, and Isobel was used to the cycle of living and dying plants from helping me with the container garden. There is always next year and always more plants to look forward to. Isobel really understood the power of the drought and how it affects her on a daily basis.
Elias was just thrilled he was allowed to use a shovel.
Though we did lose some plants the container garden did well overall, and we nursed it through these past hot months with greywater from the kiddie pool or the dishes or the remnants of water from cups and glasses and reusable water bottles. Isobel loves the experience of going out on the patio and plucking a basil or oregano leaf off the plant and popping it into her mouth. Our garden is limited by the drought, but we have still found a way to savor it.
We've still had plenty of backyard fun:
- endless bubbles
- mud (or even just sand) cooking
- drawing in our nature field journals
- reading books about plants to plants
- making endless fairy houses
- learning about new types of insects and plants
- drawing with chalk
- playing in the kiddie pool and sprinkler
- laying out a blanket and looking at clouds
- listening for birds
- stargazing with a telescope
- playing with the cats
- archery
- kicking a ball around in a sportlike fashion
- sword fighting

There are several ways to approach market research, but what's important is you know exactly what you want to find out.
"Start with the basics. What answers are you looking for and how important are they?" says Perez. Being clear about what you want not only will lead you to formulating the right questions, but will also point you to the best methodology for gathering answers from the best possible respondents.
Kai Salvino, Satisfind's director for customer research, says research can be qualitative, which probes the "whys", and quantitative, which deals with measurable responses. Meth-odologies in qualitative research include focus group discussions (FGDs) and in-depth interviews, while quantitative research counts the usage, attitude, and image (UAI) study, product test, concept test, pricing study, and brand name testing, among others.
If you want to screen a new concept or get insights into what maybe a good idea for a campaign, you may opt to use the qualitative method, but if you want to measure the acceptability of an idea or product using a much bigger sample, you may use the quantitative method.
The qualitative study can be the basis for a quantitative research. For example, you can conduct a focus group discussion first and then do a quantitative survey later to validate the findings from the FGD, says Salvino.
Paulo Lao, strategic marketing lecturer at the University of the Philippines-Institute for Small Scale Industries, says it's also important to first define the market you would like to penetrate.
"What market is involved? What are the customers' unmet needs and wants? Is the product or service you're going to offer better than the ones existing in the market? That's really the source of business opportunity," Lao says.
He adds that doing market research on an existing product category is fairly easy as it only involves observing how the entrenched players are doing. "You just need to fine-tune the product or idea to make it easier for you to get into the market," Lao says.
But it's a totally different approach when you're introducing something new. Here, you will need to find out if the market has heard of the product or service, and if it has not, how receptive it would be if the concept were to be introduced.
"Or you could try the strategy of actually introducing the product or a business to a potential group of buyers or customers and accompany that with a survey," says Lao.

Racism and comedy have never been easy bedfellows. When they're good together, they're very good, but when they're bad, they're awkward. It's clear that the audience is all too aware of this complicated relationship as they shuffle into Storey Hall for Melbourne's exclusive comedy event, Is Racism the New Black?
"Australia is very diverse," croons filmmaker and activist Richard Frankland, an Indigenous Australian of Gunditjmara origin. He smiles, waits a beat, then lets rip: "But I'm the only Greek-looking Aboriginal that's ever worked as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant owned by a white man who happened to be gay!"
The relief is palpable when it becomes clear this is going to be one of racism and comedy's better nights out. Joining the badinage at the event hosted by Indigenous health researchers, the Lowitja Institute, are comedians-slash–broadcasters Meshel Laurie (hosting duties), Libbi Gorr (Jewish irreverence) and Charlie Pickering (self-confessed white man "with no angle").
They're an odd bunch to throw together, underdogs-done-good, but their kaleidoscopic mix of razor-sharp intellect, anecdotal farce and passion for equality hold up a bold conversation about the First Peoples of Australia and the subsequent immigrants and refugees who've joined them since the multicultural period of the 1970s.
There's two key messages, the first of which is: look, we're all Australians down here, so let's get together and use the power of comedy to appropriate our respective heritage and rip down the stereotypes and suspicions that separate them.
That part is delightful, and the bursts of passionate applause give the warm feeling that comes from knowing you're among people who want to make the world a better place.
The second message, however, isn't so easy to get down with. As the only Aboriginal on the panel, Richard Frankland repeatedly champions his people's sense of humour as the glue that binds them through high mortality rates, dehumanisation, crippling poverty and a struggle to be visible on their own stage.
His tales showcasing dazzling displays of ignorance play on the ears like syncopated jazz notes: one second they're giddy and anecdotal, the very next they're deep and low and everyone, Frankland included, slows down and realises it isn't all that funny.
These moments of collective reflection are when we're all left wondering whether comedy punches above its weight when it takes on the brutish might of racism.
Personally, I think it really depends on who is telling the jokes. The most effective and potent humour almost always comes from an insider appropriating his or her own culture. After all, no one knows your motherland quite like you do, and no one else can criticise her, either. God help them if they do.
So if Richard Frankland says that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities laugh in the face of adversity, it makes sense to believe him and follow his lead as and when invited.
It's just a shame he couldn't be joined by prolific Indigenous entertainers like Sean Choolburra to add an extra layer and a second opinion to the diagnosis. While the majority white panel correctly showed racism is everyone's problem, it also highlighted a sad fact: Aboriginals are under-represented, even in a show establishing their own cultural discourse.
Is Racism the New Black? does wonders with a difficult brief: it successfully throws down the gauntlet and calls out for everyone to carry the burden of Australia's past, and engage in an open, creative dialogue about its future.
Comedy does a good job of getting things started, but the issue, much like the show itself, will have to get serious eventually.

The Oregon Department of Justice issues a warning about a deceptive company named "Smartraiser". DOJ spokesman Keith Dubanevich says they're not what they say they are: "There are people knocking on doors, allegedly soliciting money to provide care packages to our military personnel overseas. When in reality, they are a for-profit entity and very little, if any of the money is going to our military." The scam, so far, has only been run in Washington County, but could spread around the state. The approach is similar to a scam conducted last summer in which sales crews suggested that buying a magazine subscription was a charitable donation. AG John Kroger says Oregonians should protect themselves by researching charities before donating. Go to the Attorney General's website and click on the "check on a charity" button.

This title might need some explanation. You probably all know about Google streetview. These images are made by a camera that is mounted on top of a car and this camera has has 9 different lenses; therefore this is also known as the 9 eyes of Google. The Canadian artist Jon Rafman collected images from Google street view that captured unusual moments everywhere in the world; with these images he had an exhibition in the Saatchi gallery in London.
These cameras from Google now and then capture weird, unusual, funny moments. Rafman tries to be the first to notice these pictures, even before Google had the chance to blur the unusual aspects or even remove the pictures. Google already removed a lot of these pictures from the web, but a huge selection has been remained thanks to Rafman.
For example there are pictures of a child falling of his bike, an accident that happened on the streets of Mexico, prostitutes working on the sides of the streets, a man walking around with a stop sign, and many more.
But besides all these things that have been captured by accident, there are also situations that are provoked by the Google cars and the camera, for example children running towards the car in a township, people walking towards the car with guns, a deer running away from the car in Norway.
Personally I really liked this work from Rafman. He made something that we all use on a regular base, at least I do, into an arts project. While he actually didn't do anything with the pictures, he just pointed out the things that happen around the world. This for me shows that the use of visual culture can be in the smallest things and when it is put together in a good way, with a good story something can all of a sudden become really interesting.
Below you can find some examples of the street view images as they have been used by Jon Rafman. For more examples and other projects take a look at his website www.jonrafman.com

Usually, viral videos aren't exactly hot on the production end. You have your wonky camera work, following a guy who's shouting just loud enough to be heard over the nearby freeway, gusts of wind and neighborhood lawn mowers. It's pretty impressive when they manage the cute cuts and fades. Our Whiteboard Friday videos put most YouTube uploads to shame, and most of the professional videos you see online were made for TV and put in the Internet as an afterthought. Wetpaint, however, has deliberately filmed TV-quality content for the Web.
I remember being shocked at the low-quality television commercials when I moved to the U.S. in 2002. For some reason, the New Zealand television commercial market got very competitive in the late 90s and watching the ads was often more entertaining than watching the shows. This stunner of a commercial brought an antiquated swear word to the mouths of every Aussie and Kiwi. Our anti-drunk driving commercials (and other road safety ads) would be rated strictly NC-17. Air New Zealand always made really neat 30-second mini-movies for our entertainment. I came over here and was devastated at the ad quality. In the wake of fast-forwarding commercials, American ads are improving remarkably, but I still miss the delight of Kiwi commercials!
The need to be competitive and different is especially important online. When was the last time you took notice of Adsense, let alone clicked on it? I clicked on an Adsense ad this morning, but it was only to find out what "BUI" meant, in relation to "DUI" (FYI, it means "boating under the influence"). Anomalies like this aside, we've become accustomed to tuning out boring ads in the same way we don't watch the very tame All State car accidents (in comparison to the Kiwi ones - don't make me link to these little horror films). Wetpaint's campaign, while not totally original, is a smart move in that their videos are accessible to people who are already online and who may want to check out their site, and they are not paying for an expensive television slot where totally dis-interested people will gaze at the ad and wonder, "what's a wiki?"
This is the first time I've written about viral video because I have very little experience with it and it interests me a lot. I find Wetpaint's approach interesting, and I'm sure there is more to be made from the medium, given the desensitisation we have to all forms of advertising.
If you managed to make it to the end of this post without getting lost in the joys of YouTube, thanks for your stoic attention span. On the Linkbait panel that I'm taking part in at SMX London, Ciarán Norris will be presenting on the subject of video bait. I'll probably sit there in front of the crowd and shamelessly take notes along with everyone else.

COLDWATER, KS – Wondering how to know if severe weather is on the way? These clouds are a clue.
The clouds spotted in the video taken in Coldwater, Kansas are called mammatus clouds. Meteorologists with Weather Nation say that they are often a portent of severe weather. In this case, they were associated with a line of storms that brought gusty wind with them.
Something to keep in mind as we watch the skies this severe weather season!

@dmire Flanders Fields – Teambuilding
Some history
Hundred years ago, near Diksmuide, a German division managed to form a bridgehead at Tervaete. This forced the allied troops to retreat to the Diksmuide-Newport railway. Major Henri d'Outremont and his troops managed to stop the Germans at the cost of his own life. Fearing a German breakthrough in the direction of Dunkirk and Calais, the Belgians took a drastic step and opened the Canal locks at Newport. The result was a gradual flooding of the low country between the Canal and the railway. These events of October 1914 are in the chronicles of the Great War known as 'The battle of the Yser'.
The @dmire teambuilding Program
Immerse yourself in this historic tale and relive history by bike or electric cart. Every team gets a number of @dmire trials presented at different locations (the death row, the bridge of Tervaete, the canal locks at Newport, the old railway, etc). If the team members manage to finish them well, they deserve several medals of Honor. Off course, the journey doesn't have to be too rough all day long, for instance one of the trials includes a local beer tasting. Cheers.
But don't forget the ultimate goal... Expel the opponent with your team and eternal glory will be yours within the company!!!!
@dmire the taste of Chocolate
"Belgium is famous around the world for its high quality chocolate. The chocolate bonbon, or praline, was invented in Brussels in 1912 by Jean Neuhaus, .. Nowadays there are over 2,000 Belgian chocolatiers.
Follow the trail of the top chocolate shops as a guided walking tour. It's a chocoholic's dream!
Get a teambuilding knowledgeable aspect with a multiple choice questionnaire and discover, test your knowledge on Belgian Chocolate and meanwhile a dedicated guide will point out major Brussels sights like the Sablon area, The Gallery St Hubert, some of the history of Brussels and tell you why it's famous for mouthwatering chocolate.
You'll visit several chocolate boutiques, enjoy tastings of delectable Belgian treats and finally ...end up making your own chocolates"
@dmire–Mechelen and Moon Extinguishers –Teambuilding
Thanks to the exclusive @dmire teambuilding, you can inhale, see, smell and taste the air of ancient times. We assure you a great time in the city where Lodewijk von Beethoven, father of one of the greatest musicians ever, was born. Your guess was correct; the name of his son was Ludwig.
You will experience, the authenticity of far-off days: eg; the never finished St Rumbold's Cathedral, the former Palace of Margaret of Austria, the Town Hall, and several enchanting places like 'The Anker' - one of the oldest breweries in Belgium (1471), an inner courtyard complete with cobblestones and a tympanum in grey stone with the historic date of 1625. You'll taste why 'Gouden Carolus Classic' was elected as the "World's Best Dark Beer" ....
@dmire Alors on Dance- Swinging and Jazz tune Teambuilding in Brussels
"The clock is running. Make the most of today. Time waits for no man. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present."
Is there a link between this quote of Eleanor Roosevelt, Dance Music and the "Clock of the Mont des Arts"? Maybe and maybe not, but one thing is for sure, the park which connects the upper town of Brussels to the lower town is the gathering where the different teams get their consecutive assignments every hour, when a 'man' in the clock strikes the hammer and one of the figures in the niches starts moving.
No doubt that the teams will enjoy this interactive and swinging combination of visiting the beating heart of Brussels. Dancing, making music on (among other things) djembe's and meanwhile finding answers to different questions about famous musicians with a connection to Belgium.
