The former employee alleges the Cabaret star demanded sexual favors and beat him
In a $100-million lawsuit, Liza Minnelli's former bodyguard and chauffeur is accusing the singer of routinely beating him and forcing him to have sex with her, according to court papers unsealed in Manhattan Supreme Court on Wednesday.
The ex-employee, M'hammed Soumayah, 56, a married father of two, said that "without his consent," he was forced to have sexual relations with Minnelli or else risk losing his $238,000-a-year job. He began working for Minnelli, 58, in 1994.
Soumayah's documents state that he finally succumbed to the Cabaret star's advances after many repeated attempts and has evidence of a relationship. But he offered no details in his complaint, reports Reuters.
A spokeswoman for Minnelli was not immediately available for comment, but in a Nov. 3 affidavit that was also unsealed by a judge on Wednesday, Minnelli said she would "vigorously" defend herself against his charges. She does not address the issue of Soumayah's sexual claims, but does state that he has caused her "a great deal of personal distress and pain" by violating a confidentiality agreement he had signed.
Soumayah is seeking $50 million from Minnelli for her "intentional assault and battery," another $50 million for sexual harassment and $89,000 in back wages, the complaint specifies. It also says Minnelli fired him in June after he refused to take a 50 percent cut in salary.
Earlier this week, Minnelli countersued and accused him of breach of contract. The star is also being sued for $10 million by her ex husband, David Gest, who claims she assaulted him during drunken rages.
Minnelli has denied beating Gest and countersued, claiming he cheated her out of more than $2 million.
In his complaint, Soumayah said that throughout his employment, Minnelli "hit and assaulted" him "repeatedly" but fearing loss of his lucrative job, he tolerated Minnelli's "violent outbursts."

Photographers always say that It's worth taking the camera out of the bag even if only for 5 minutes on the off chance you see something worth documenting. This is usually true and although I don't always capture a documentary moment there is the odd occasion where something unexpectedly presents itself which is worth taking a photograph of.
This was the case as I headed to a meeting in Glasgow and came across some people in the street making very large soap bubbles for passers by to interact with.
Here we see a child and, I presume, his mother, playing with the bubbles that were being made along with some other people getting into the spirit of the fun and interacting with the bubbles.

text: Hey fellas I currently own a 97 lincoln mark VIII. I love it but need a 2nd vehicle. My uncle has a cosmetically mint condition red 2004 cadillac DTS with 152k miles that i am looking to buy for about 3k. He has had it for about 6 years so I am pretty aware of how the car has been maintained and what has been replaced. He has been a automotive technician those 6 years so he always had access to a lift where he could do fluid flushes, tune up etc. Right now the car is in his garage with a few problems. The most serious is the transmission seems to have a electrical problem. He said twice the car would not come out of 3rd gear until he pulled over, shut the car off and let it sit for a few minutes. This happen when the car was fully warmed up. The trans has had no other issues other than these two times. Any ideas on what would be causing this? Also, the rear air shocks are bad. I am wondering what is the best replacement for these? I noticed OEM replacement is 400ish a pop for the DTS and about 200ish for the DHS. What brand is recommended? I would like to keep the oem magnetic but it's pricy. The fuel gauge no longer works and reading around its most likely the sensor. What brand is recommended? Rock auto has about 3 different ones with prices ranging greatly. After car sat it now has a misfire in cylinder one. I am pretty sure it's just a bad coil. I hope I can get some good answers from you guys. This car is flawless and all the Electronics in the car work. Only options it doesn't have is Navi, heads up display and night vision. Other than that it is top of the line. Thanks in advance

94 N. Main Street, Jasper, GA - (706) 253-2457
Teens learned about stages of intimacy in an interactive demonstration at the The North Georgia Pregnancy Center's annual Loving Well event last week.
Speaker Denise Fountain asked teens in attendance at the Pickens High School auditorium if they thought she was there to tell them not to have sex.
A few kids sheepishly raised their hands.
"I'm not," she said. "I'm here to tell you how to have the best sex of your life."
For Fountain and other speakers at the North Georgia Pregnancy Center's "Loving Well" event, held Thursday, Feb. 9 after school hours, the best sex in life comes after marriage with the partner God has chosen for you. Loving Well is designed to help middle and high school students learn about healthy, God-honoring relationships with sexual integrity, without judgement for past transgressions.

Despite vocal public opposition, construction of a raised island to change the traffic through the intersection of Antioch Church Road and Highway 515 is "not a question of if, but when," according to Georgia Department of Transportation officials.

Riverside Walks in Cornwall
Cornwall's South West Coast Path is superb when it comes to walking, we all know that don't we? But how many of you explore inland, along the rivers that cut deep into the countryside?
Here we have put together a selection of walks, some including the South West Coast Path, that use footpaths and lanes running alongside streams, rivers and creeks. They can be done at anytime of the year, in fact we would recommend trying them in the different seasons, as each month the things you see will be different.
1: South of the Helford Walk.
What's Open
As Coronavirus restrictions are lifted, most attractions around Cornwall have reopened. We will not be adding anymore attractions to this list and would ask you to visit our See & Do pages HERE. Most places will expect you to book beforehand, and as we advise, Think-Plan-Book.
Adrenalin filled attraction near Falmouth
A new attraction opens on the outskirts of Penryn this weekend bringing a touch of Italy to West Cornwall. Originating in the Alps during World War I to enable troops to cross mountains, a Via Ferrata is a climbing route like no other. Metal steps, ladders, suspension bridges and zip wires make it one of the most adrenaline-filled climbing activities worldwide, and now you can do it in a quarry near you!
Ignore those April showers and enjoy Cornwall at its best
Responsible dog ownership - it's a lot more than picking up the poo!
Cornwall is a wonderful place to live, as well as visit, and with many people wishing to enjoy Cornwall with four-legged friends, it also has a high proportion of dog ownership. Many of our valued visitors also want to enjoy Cornwall with their pets, and this is especially welcome at the quieter times of the year and shoulder seasons, when you can enjoy different aspects of Cornwall.

Lessons Learned About Clinics
Things To Know About Erectile Dysfunction Treatment
Penile erection and the inability to maintain it is also known as erectile dysfunction. It's important to know that erectile dysfunction can ruin things while in the middle of intercourse.
Being impotent also means suffering from erectile dysfunction. It's becoming a common problem for many men today. Also, you should know that the chances of having erectile dysfunction increase with age. There are different causes for erectile dysfunction such as one's mental state. However, it's been found that the lack of blood flow to the male genitalia is the major cause of erectile dysfunction. Medical problems can also cause erectile dysfunction.
It's important for you to know what treatments you can take if you're experiencing erectile dysfunction. Also, you will want to know if the treatments that you'll choose will have side effects. Also, finding the erectile dysfunction treatment products in the market is important. Knowing which treatments will work for erectile dysfunction is necessary.
Having prescription medicine is necessary in order to ensure that you'll be able to treat Erectile Dysfunction. Still, if you're going to treat Erectile Dysfunction with prescription medicine or drugs, you'll need to know if they can pose side effects. Headaches can be quite common when it comes to using those prescription drugs to treat the condition. The prescription drugs can also be dangerous to certain individuals since they can suffer from a stroke or a heart attack.
Dangerous medical reactions can also occur for certain individuals who use medicine to treat Erectile Dysfunction. Irresponsible use of the prescription drugs can also cause overdose or death of an individual. Treating Erectile Dysfunction using different kinds of market products can increase the chances of triggering severe medical reactions. Medical products from the market may help others, but that doesn't mean that treating Erectile Dysfunction using those products is a safe bet.
Also, you should know that another way to treat Erectile Dysfunction is using the vacuum pump. A vaccum pump looks like a simple device that consists of a plastic tube and a cord. There are also hand and electric vacuum pumps.
There's also a variant where the vacuum pump can have a band attached around its base. Once the pumping is finished, the band is left in place in order to ensure that the genitalia will remain erect. However, it's important to know that the erection is artificial and not effective at all times. Treating the erectile dysfunction using the pump is also known to diminish the pleasure from the intercourse.
Using the pump can also cause your erectile dysfunction to become even more problematic. Also, using the pump too frequently can cause damage to the male genitalia instead which means that the erectile dysfunction will just get worse.
Of course, you can always try the effective ways to treat the condition. So if you want to treat erectile dysfunction effectively, you should try using herbal pills. If you're wondering why it's because herbal pills can benefit the entirety of the body's health.

Six different players in each of the seventh and eighth grade games put points on the board Thursday night as the Bearcats dominated City View for a pair of victories. The eighth grade remains undefeated with a 40-0 triumph while the seventh graders improved to 4-2 by handling the Mustangs 46-34.
Seventh Grade
Zack West, Tyler Aaron, Patrick Holcomb, Jason Nixon, Colby Hawkins and Brody Offield each scored either touchdowns or extra points for the Bearcats.
In the first quarter, following a bad snap by City View, West scored on a three-yard run followed by an Aaron extra point and the Bearcats led 8-0 which stood after one quarter. In the second quarter, West scored again on a 56-yard run, but was called back due to a block in the back penalty. Shortly after, Offield found his way to the end zone from 23 yards out with Holcomb adding the two-point conversion and a 16-0 lead. City View broke loose on a long run to close the score at 16-8, but West again answered with a 58-yard run of his own and after the Aaron extra point, the Bearcats led 24-8.
Offield and Aaron extended the Bearcat lead early in the third quarter, 32-8, with a 47-yard touchdown run and the point after. Cantwell, Aaron and Trey Essler had key blocks on Offield's run. Moments later, City View scored again on a long play, but Aaron had an answer for it by following Trey Essler and Ben Johnson up the middle for a 61-yard touchdown run. Jason Nixon added the point after and gave the Bearcats a 40-14 lead. The Bearcats led 40-20 heading into the fourth quarter. Hawkins scored his touchdown on an 11-yard run, but the extra point was stopped short. Leading 46-20, the Mustangs scored a couple of touchdowns which was not enough as the Bearcats sealed the win.
Everyone on the roster played in the game and contributed a great deal. Cantwell, Aaron, West and Weston Max had good defensive games. Cantwell recovered a fumble with West and Aaron causing another one.
Since Alvord does not field a seventh grade team, the Bearcats will have a week off.
Eight Grade
Mason Hanson, Kandon Bennett, Ben McCreary, Reed Latham, Corbin Douthitt and Dillon Flowers put points on the board for the Bearcat 8th Grade, not including the pair of touchdown passes from Blaine Long. Hanson followed great blocking from his offensive line of Skyler Castro, Sterling Headrick, Corbin Bloodworth, Adam Moore and Conner Chambers on the first play of the game as he darted 66 yards down to the 12-yard line. Two plays later, he scored on the same play from 4 yards out and Douthitt added the point after. Also in the second quarter, Ben McCreary picked up a Mustang punt and scampered untouched 65 yards and gave the Bearcats a 14-0 lead. Dillon Flowers set up his own touchdown moments later as Reed Latham caused a fumble and Flowers scooped it up for an 18-yard gain. On the next play, Long connected with Flowers for his first career touchdown pass. Kandon Bennett added the extra point and the Bearcats were up 22-0 by the end of the first quarter.
Early in the second quarter, Long hit McCreary on a slant pass and he ran 46-yards for the touchdown and a 28-0 lead. Latham scored his first touchdown also with a three-yard run after City View went for it on fourth down deep on their own end of the field. City View was forced to punt from their own three-yard line after a stiff defensive stand, but a very short punt bounced back in the Bearcats favor where Hanson picked it up on the half-yard line and stepped into the end zone and gave the Bearcats a 40-0 halftime lead which also proved to be the final.
Everyone played in the game and did an outstanding job. Good line play also came from Mackey Thonton, Cody Franklin, Coy Patterson and Caleb Scroggins. The entire defense had a good night keeping the Mustangs out of the end zone. The Bearcats play well as a team and will take on Alvord next week in hopes of keeping their record unblemished.
The eighth grade team will face Alvord at 5 p.m. Thursday, followed by the Henrietta JV.

"Zombie, zombie, zombie ei, ei, ei, oh do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do." —The Cranberries
It's getting harder to tell the undead from the infected from the merely glum. If there's a virus or a plague or an epidemic out there, there are zombies, shuffling out of the woodwork, blundering over obstacles, or racing hell for leather at your stalled vehicle as you struggle to close the doors that shouldn't have been open in the first place.
So what about a pan-demic? Same thing. Zombies.
Ah, but here's a novel twist. POV. Not POV zombies—now that would be interesting, experiencing a movie from the point-of-view of the flesh eaters themselves as they shuffle, blunder, race, and, well… flesh eat. But in Pandemic, we get POV of the military extraction unit that heads into downtown apocalyptic L.A. in an armored school bus to look for survivors. Like it says in the trailer: "Witness the apocalypse… through their eyes." Sigh. Aren't we yet done with all this cheap 'n' cheesy hand-held, wobbly-all-over-the-place, found footage so-manic-you-can't-tell-what's-going-on movie stuff? With Missi Pyle.
I know for a fact there are people out there—grown people—who truly believe there's no such thing as a bad zombie movie. But if any movie can make a mockery of such intractable faith, it's Pandemic. John Suits' film doesn't boast an A-list cast by any means. In fact, it's chock full of TV talent: Rachel Nichols (Chicago Fire, Criminal Minds) plays the medic, looking for her daughter; E.R.'s Mekhi Phifer's the gunner; and Alfie (Game of Thrones) Allen is the "we're Fritos, man!" driver (Missi navigates). And while the direction is surefooted enough, the writing manages to tap every military/zombie cliche known to man—man, is it awful.
Lots of Level 5s (post-hibernation stage) wind up dead, screwed with screwdrivers and axed with hatchets and bludgeoned with baseball bats, so there's plenty of bloody mayhem for the gorehounds (including a particularly nasty entrails-laden scene when a gaggle of zombies do lunch). But the rest of Pandemic just makes you want to scream.
"Zombie, zombie, zombie ei, ei, ei, oh do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do" will do nicely.

CAA Knowledge Bowl Team Upholds Tradition of Excellence
Columbia Adventist Academy has had an active Knowledge Bowl team for nearly twenty years, and for the sixth consecutive year the varsity team walked away at the end of the season with first place in its league's regional competition. That feels good to its members, who have practiced many hours to have the quick reflexes and body of knowledge necessary for such consistent results. What also feels good was expressed by varsity member Staci Kingery: "We get to go to other schools and witness."
No, she isn't suggesting that team members give Bible studies, but through good sportsmanship, friendliness and excellence, Columbia's students are recognized for all the right reasons.
Columbia has consistently had one or more teams place high enough to compete at the regional level. Columbia's Varsity 1 team not only walked away this year as Columbia Gorge League varsity champions against much larger schools, but also carried home first place at the regionals with the Division IV high score during that meet.
Each of the past six winning years, an invitation to compete on Saturday at the state competition has been extended to the team. Columbia students graciously shake the hands of the second-place team as they decline to play on Sabbath.
Other coaches marvel that Columbia consistently outscores much larger schools. Those who know why Columbia does not compete at the state competition also know that Columbia students walk away with much more than knowledge. They make choices based on their convictions. And they have fun!

The NBA All-Star Weekend is on deck, and this year's game will take place in the shadow of the sport losing one of its most legendary stars, Kobe Bryant, at the age of 41 last month.
The NBA plans to honor Bryant with several rule changes for the game on Sunday, Feb. 16, as follows:
• The score will be reset to 0-0 after the first and second quarters.
• The winning team of the first, second and third quarter will receiver $100,000 each quarter to donate to a Chicago-based charity of the captain's choice.
• The total scores from each quarter will be combined at the start of the fourth quarter, returning to how it would be in a regular game.
• The fourth quarter will not be timed. The winner will be determined by reaching a target score of 24 points (Bryant's number) added to the total of whichever team has the lead through three quarters. For example, if Team LeBron leads 100-94 after three quarters, the first team to reach 124 points will be deemed the winner.
• The winning team will receive another $200,000 to donate to charity.
Bryant is expected to be honored in other ways during the weekend, too, although nothing else has been confirmed.

The NBA 3-Point Contest has an added wrinkle this year. There will be two new spots equidistant between the traditional racks at the top of the the 3-point arc and the adjacent rack, and six feet behind the line with a special green ball in each rack worth three points.
Brooklyn's Joe Harris will attempt to defend his 2019 title, but will have some stiff competition as he is the only competitor who is not among the top 10 in three point field goals made. Trae Young and Damian Lillard are the big guns Harris will have to worry about, while Duncan Robinson actually has the best three-point percentage of the entire field, making him a bit of a sleeper.
Slam Dunk Contest
Where: United Center
TV Info: TNT
• Dwight Howard, Los Angeles Lakers
• Derrick Jones, Miami Heat
• Aaron Gordon, Orlando Magic
• Pat Connaughton, Milwaukee Bucks
This year's dunk contest will feature former champion Dwight Howard and former runner-up Aaron Gordon, while first-timers Derrick Jones Jr. and Pat Connaughton also get their shot. Howard initially planned to involve Bryant in his dunk contest routine, so perhaps there could be a tribute to his former teammate in the works here. Of course, Howard last won the contest 11 years ago, and may not be able to turn back the clock against his younger foes.
Gordon will get another chance to take the dunk title after he was edged by Zach Lavine in 2016 in what was an epic showdown between the two stars. Jones and Connaughton will aim to play spoiler in Gordon's pursuit of the title.

How to Increase your Bankroll to Extend Play
A prime factor as to whether or not you're having fun at a casino is how much you're winning at the games. The size of your bankroll not only determines the size of your bets, but also the length at which you play. No matter if you're playing for fun or profit, looking for ways to add value to your bet could help maximize your earnings.
One of these ways is through casino bonuses. These are monetary incentives given to you once you fulfill certain requirements. These could range from money given to you for signing up, or for simply referring a friend. Combining multiple bonuses can make a difference in your payout.
To protect yourself, make sure to check if the casinos you're playing at are all licensed and reputable. For instance, this one has some nice games to start your online casino journey with!
This will ensure you have a fun, safe, and fair experience. Visit the American Gaming Association website for more information on safe gambling.
Types of Bonuses
Some bonuses online casinos offer include:
- Welcome Bonuses – Offered when you decide to load your account for the first time. Online casinos tend to offer a percentage on what you deposit if you fulfill a minimum requirement.
- Monthly Bonuses – Used to encourage existing players to deposit in their account. Although the return is high, you usually have to deposit a considerable amount to achieve this bonus.
- High Roller Bonuses – Given to players who spend a large sum of money at an online casino.
- Refer-a-Friend Bonuses– An incentive for referring a friend.
- No Deposit Bonuses– Free cash or spins given by the casino that doesn't require you to deposit any money.
- Payment Method Bonus – Adding a new method of payment to your account would unlock this bonus.
- Loyalty Bonus – For long-time customers. This is given as a 'thank you' for your continued support to the casino.
How to Use these Bonuses to Max your Earnings
If you want to get the most of these bonuses, starting with the no deposit and the refer a friend bonus is vital. Some no deposit and refer bonuses will give you free spins or a set dollar amount. Even though the payment method bonus is rare if it's there take advantage of it as well. If you shop around for many online casinos with these bonuses, you could be making money without ever depositing a cent.
Once done, check for the welcome bonuses. b4casino.com provides a comprehensive list of legitimate online casino websites with the highest welcome bonuses.
Finally, keep your accounts open over an extended time. This would bring in monthly bonuses, loyalty bonuses, and potentially the high roller bonus if you plan on depositing a significant amount of money.

Big Picture - Photoelectrochemistry for solar fuels
Photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells convert solar energy to chemical fuels such as hydrogen or methanol, potentially generating clean energy from a renewable source.1,2 At the heart of these cells are semiconducting photoelectrodes that absorb sunlight and convert it to charge, which, for example, can be used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Doing this process efficiently and stably has been a lofty goal of the research community for nearly 40 years.
Overview – Bismuth vanadate photoanodes
A relatively new contender for the photoanode material in PEC cells is bismuth vanadate (BiVO4), a bright yellow powder that is used as a pigment in paint. It absorbs an acceptable amount of sunlight to be efficient, as well as having well-positioned energy levels for use in a "tandem PEC cell" with two light-absorbing electrodes to split water.3 Improvements in doping, morphology, and electrocatalysts have recently led to record efficiencies. Abdi et al.4 optimized a system consisting of a compact thin film of tungsten-doped BiVO4 and an amorphous silicon solar cell, achieving a laboratory solar-to-hydrogen efficiency of 4.9% – the highest reported to date. Comparable photocurrents were demonstrated by Kim and Choi5 using an undoped, nanoporous BiVO4 electrode via electrodeposition, coupled with a nickel and iron oxyhydroxide electrocatalyst. This is very promising considering their system is not fully optimized.
Future Directions
Although impressive device performance is upon us, charge transport and electrocatalysts are limiting factors in efficiency and are poorly understood. However, as our mechanistic understanding is bolstered by fundamental property measurements and new catalysts are discovered, expect efficiencies of BiVO4-based PEC cells to rise.

Ever since the explosion of the internet, being an agent or international has received a bad connotation amongst the conscious travel community. After all, online platforms have made it possible for us to book directly with local guides. So why do we still need international agents? Here are five reasons why local tour guides cannot replace the role of international agents to provide responsible and safe practices for conscious travellers and local communities:
1. Limitations of individual guides
Independent guides are often not legally allowed to provide tour arrangement services for you (read about legal requirements to operate tours here). You might think that's unnecessary bureaucracy and the legacy of an outdated system. While that might be true in some cases, there's often very valid reasons for such regulations. They may exist to protect us as travellers, for example from financial scams or fraudulent activities, or when undertaking inherently more dangerous activities or travelling to remote regions. They may also exist to protect conservation areas, national parks or other places of natural or cultural significance. An independent guide, no matter how well intended, often simply doesn't have the education or resources to take care of your physical and financial safety, or the sustainability of our planet. It takes a village to raise a child, and it takes a team to provide conscious travel services.
2. Benefits of specialization
Division of labor is a commonly accepted principle in modern economics. It suggests that we're all better off if everyone does what we're best at, if each companies focuses on its core strength. That's become standard for almost any industry. Car companies don't manufacture motors, banks don't mine gold, and hospital don't produce pharmaceuticals. However, car companies, banks and hospitals all provide very important services to you, and so do travel agents: They educate and advice you, they can speak your language, and – ideally – they are duly registered and regulated to protect you as consumer. Even if a local operator could be providing all of those services to you, it simply doesn't make sense for people who are good at guiding and logistics to hire specialists for marketing, client service and sales.
3. Skill gaps take time to fill
It will take a long time until all the functions traditionally provided by international agencies can be provided locally in lower income countries. Certainly, our goal should be for local people no matter where in the world to have all the education and training they need. However, such a fundamental shift cannot happen overnight. It's taken China decades to re-position from a low-cost manufacturing hub into a high-tech power house. Similarly, we expect that it will also take many, many years to fill the skill gap for digital, marketing and other experts in lower income countries to directly serve international travellers.
4. Cultural differences
Even when the above skill gap has been filled, and assuming all countries have well-functioning legal systems that make it easy for travellers to obtain any due compensation or assistance when required directly from local companies, cultural differences remain. For a high-end advisory service, do you prefer to be served by someone like you who fully understands your needs and speaks your language, or someone who can only second-guess your requirements and doesn't communicate well in your language?
5. International sustainability leaders
Last but not least, travelling ethically and sustainably is an international trend that's predominantly driven by organizations and consumers from higher income regions, such as Europe and North America. People in lower income countries who are still struggling to catch up and provide decent education, health care and housing for their own families don't have the luxury to worry about the sustainability of our planet, or social justice. When local operators have adopted responsible tourism practices, it's more often than not due to the demand and educational efforts undertaken by international agents.
Unfortunately, online platforms have played a major role in creating confusion and promoting the exploitation of human labor. Read more about digitalization & the exploitation of human life here.
Fair Voyage is a hybrid between an agency and a platform. We hope to combine the best of both models for your benefit as traveller, and to sustainably promote responsible travel practices. Read more about our business model here.

Dance studio offers options for adults
Staff writer
As Studio 23's youth classes come to an end with the beginning of summer vacation, owner Krista Matlock said she is excited about several classes that will target adults age 16 and over.
"We had our student recital a couple of weeks ago at the high school," she said. "We had a great turnout. We're taking a break for the summer and will start up again in September. We'll have an age-based dance camp June 4-8."
Matlock said among class options for adults is "WERQ."
"It's a hip hop dance class for fitness with the newest top 100 music hits," she said.
Studio 23 has offered the class every other Saturday for the past six months under instructor Sydney McMillen, but Matlock became certified about a month ago to offer weekday options for the class as well. WERQ will be offered Tuesdays at 6:30 a.m. and Wednesdays at 9 p.m. along with Saturday classes.
"With my class, I'm going to try and offer different styles of music," said Matlock. "It's a well rounded work out with continual dancing for about 10 songs. You really break a sweat. It's a lot of fun and you really don't feel like you're working out."
Five to six people regularly attend the Saturday class, and Matlock said she is hoping to get more fresh faces through the studio's doors.
Along with WERQ, Studio 23 will offer a ballet fitness class Mondays at 7 a.m starting in June.
"If hip-hop or fast dancing isn't your thing, it's a slower stretch and workout," she said.
A class held Mondays at 7 p.m., also beginning in June, will be an adult worship dance class and feature a variety of styles as time progresses.
"Every two months we'll do a different genre for that class," Matlock said. "Like ballroom and tap dancing. We'll change up the style so people can try them out."
Dancers can register and pay for classes through Hillsboro Recreation Commission or stop in at the studio.
"You don't have to be a natural dancer," she Matlock. "I have dancers from all different levels and a wide range of ages from 16 to people in their 60s. I tell people who are self conscious that you're so involved with yourself that you don't notice anyone else."
Matlock said she is pleased with the studio's success thus far.
"It's exciting to continue to add classes and it's going really well," she said. "We're exactly what we imagined we'd be for the community."

Azamara Quest, the first of Azamara Club Cruises' twin boutique ships to undergo refurbishment, has emerged from an eight-day drydock, complete with a refresh of all public spaces and staterooms and a new 'Azamara Blue' hull. The ships will offer new complimentary 'AzAmazing Evening' shore events on every voyage starting with each ship's Europe 2013 season.
Ship-wide renovations include new carpets, upholstery, and a new colour palette in public spaces; new mattresses and upgraded veranda furniture for suites and staterooms; a resurfaced pool, and new sun loungers and pool towels on the outer decks. The Casino Bar has also been expanded and enhanced with new furniture, while the Spa and fitness centre has a new steam room, showers, and state-of-the-art Life Fitness cardio equipment.
On the culinary front, guests can now enjoy a new caviar and champagne bar within Aqualina, one of the ships' two speciality dining venues, as well as a new Chef's Table concept featuring three wine menus – Italian, French and Californian. At Mosaic Café, the ships' central gathering spot, guests can purchase a freshly brewed cup of bespoke coffee.
On departing from Navantia Shipyard in Cadiz, Spain, Azamara Quest has set sail on a 13-night Madeira and Canary Islands voyage, beginning 16th November, followed by a four-night Spanish and Northern Africa voyage on 28th November. The ship then departs on 2nd December to embark on a 16-night, transatlantic voyage to Rio de Janeiro for its South America season.

A federal agency on Thursday imposed tough new restrictions on the payday-lending industry, which churns out billions of dollars a year in high-interest loans to working-class and poor Americans.
The terms of a typical payday loan of $400 require that $460 be repaid two weeks later — the equivalent of an annual interest rate of more than 300 percent, far higher than what banks and credit cards charge for loans. Because most borrowers cannot repay their debts quickly, the loans are often rolled over, incurring more fees.
Some 12 million people, many of whom lack other access to credit, take out the short-term loans each year, researchers estimate. Payday loans often entangle borrowers in hard-to-escape spirals of ever-growing debt, according to the consumer bureau.
The new rules limit how often, and how much, customers can borrow. The restrictions, which have been under development for more than three years, are fiercely opposed by those in the industry, who say the rules will force many of the nation's nearly 18,000 payday lenders out of business.
Until now, payday lending has been regulated by states, with 15 having made the loans effectively illegal. In more than 30 other states, though, the short-term loan market is thriving. The United States now has more payday loan stores than McDonald's outlets. They make around $46 billion a year in loans, collecting $7 billion in fees.
The new guidelines pit the consumer bureau, an independent watchdog created in the aftermath of the financial crisis, against Congress and President Donald Trump, who has made rolling back business regulations a centerpiece of his agenda.
The payday-lending rules do not require congressional approval. Congress could overturn the rules using the Congressional Review Act, which gives lawmakers 60 legislative days to nullify new regulations, but political analysts think Republicans will struggle to get the votes needed to strike down the regulations.

Exelent mod that adds tons of new units, more or less closer to codex and easy to install. I really like the fact that this can run along the tyranid and inquisition mod.
A well made mod, which is worthy of a 10/10
It is the very, very best mod on this planet.
I cannot describe how excited I am because today is the day of the "Grand Release" !!!
Hold on with your really cool modding stuff :)
You're the best of the best.
Review? Well something short I suppose, in my opinion this has made DoW vints better than I could have hoped for. One of my most favorite aspects is the diversity in each unit of each squad. For instance, a squad of 11 space marines can consist of all different, unique models, differing only slightly, to drastically from their commrades giving them a sense of realism, with all of their different markings and equipment. I quite enjoy that fact. But in all seriousness though. This is the greatest mod you will find for DoW. So many new factions, new gameplay features, maps, etc. It's insane. Everything from the Tyranids to Titans. You'll find what you want here in this mod. It has everything.
this mod is absolutely awesome!!!
It's really good mod, well done I can't wait for the updates!
P.S Virus free
well done ultimate apocalypse mod team the best ever mode for soulstorm keep the good work 10\10 better than fok 3.6 ....but guys hahahah u made necrons hahahahaha the ultimate apocalypse race here it seems u like the necrons ...i am the original dawn of war pro and fan and make it closer to perfection ....well done i recomend this mode for any dawn of war fans.....i cant wait for v1.62
Very nice mod it has great textures and the XP packs only make it better so i definitely say check this mod out.

The Velo Fellow opened about two months ago in the space below Mellow Mushroom at 1 Augusta downtown, and having heard good news about it we knew we had to get over there and check it out. So one night after a Drive game, looking for a beer other than Yuengling and a quick snack, we stopped in for what we thought would be just a quick drink and bite to eat.
There was a decent crowd and we could tell at first glance that the layout and decor were right up our alley. We approached the bar to order and the bartender was knowledgeable about their beers; although their selection is not as extensive as Barley's or the Trappe Door they have some great different taps and over two dozen bottles.If you're looking for Miller or Bud, this isn't the place to go, but if you enjoy craft beers and beers from the UK, I highly recommend checking out the list!
As for the food, we ordered a delicious brie & bacon sandwich and the fried green tomato appetizer. The pimiento cheese was some of the best I've ever tasted, but I wasn't so sure about the batter on the fried tomatoes - it was, to be honest, a bit too seasoned for my tastes.
When we arrived the background noise was just people talking, but a little while later a two man band took the floor. I think some actual background music - maybe Stones, Beatles and the like - would have been a great addition while waiting for the band, but at the same time it was nice to sit and wait for our food and have the ability to hold a conversation and hear each other.
Of course the title of this review says it all - we will be back to the Velo Fellow, to sample more of their menu offerings and hopefully a few new beers as well.

Hello everybody,
Is there currently a bug?
Regardless of the size of my own logo in my custom theme, it is never displayed in the same way as the Matrix42 logo (Logo Failure screenshot).
Also the preview of a theme does not work.
Due to the requirements of the Corporate Identity Styleguide, we have to take white as a background color.
When you configure it, you won't see any icons in the module selection (second screenshot).

Enjoyed the Apple Event live stream this morning. I like my iPhone X but I miss the larger phone size. I also really like the Series 4 Apple Watch. I have the Series 2. If money were no object I would be getting the iPhone X Max and the Series 4 Apple Watch. Opening my banking app it appears I will be staying with my current hardware. 😢

Alas, the wondrous experience of my trip to Chicago came to an abrupt end as soon as I arrived at O'Hare to check into my flight. Despite the fact that I was 2 1/2 hours before my scheduled departure of 6:00 pm, the check-in counter process took a solid 35 minutes, as the staff spent inordinate amounts of time with four passengers who seemed to need help booking a world tour. I began to get rather grumbly and tried to calm myself down, as one of the three check-in agents essentially ignored us and kept scribbling notes, walking around, picking up the phone, scribbling more notes and then after about 20 minutes of this waved the woman in front of me over rather begrudgingly. This was an omen of things to come.
In any event I got my two boarding passes (to Toronto and then on to Kingston) and proceeded to the fun adventure that is U.S. airport security. I killed some time at a cafe, bought and browsed some magazines, and then it came time to head to the gate for the 17:25 boarding time. Alas! The electronic board read "Now 18:25". Hmm...well, these things happen. I'll go grab a treat and walk around. So, I wandered back to the gate and the board had changed again, reading "Now 19:00". Arg! At that point I spotted an acquitance of mine who is a member of the Queen's MBA Class of 2005. It was a thrill to meet her in the Chicago airport, and we had a fun reunion and complained about the delay. We then happened to look up to see that the board had changed yet again, reading "Now 20:00". Aaaaagh! Needless to say, I was now especially grumbly, and it was becoming clear that it was unlikely I would make my Kingston connection. On the plus side, I had my first of two political celebrity sightings. Former Canadian deputy Prime Minister John Manley was sitting in the small business class section of the Toronto-bound flight.
I went online at a little kiosk and logged on the Starwood site and booked myself into the Four Points Toronto Airport, just to be safe. Good thing. My Kingston flight was scheduled to leave at 11:15 ET and by the time we took off from Chicago, landed, taxied, then sat on the tarmac waiting for the ground crew to arrive, we actually left the plane at (you guessed it) 11:15. Uh...yeah...about going home...
So I resigned myself to my fate and went through customs (lovely fellow) and then waited for my delayed luggage (will this ever end?!), got out some Canadian currency and then waited for a cab, alongside my second politcal celebrity, NDP leader Jack Layton. I checked into the hotel at 12:05 am. By mighty strange cosmic coincidence there was another member of the Queen's MBA Class of 2005. Weird! He was delayed out of Calgary and was actually at the wrong hotel. We said a quick hello and goodbye. I waited on hold with Air Canada's "special reservation service" for 35 minutes. The lady was most polite, and I am booked on the 4:40 flight. The best part of all this is that as I write this I am watching the episode of Seinfeld where Jerry and Elaine are on a flight, and Jerry is upgraded to first class while Elaine struggles in economy. Sometimes you just have to laugh or you cry.

I thought it might be nice to add some ref photos of what I'm working on right now: the first is the artwork the models are based on (I wish all the girls and Sagara in the Bontakun costume were available, but unfortunately they aren't >_<).
The second is just a nice wallpaper of the 2 girls and I'm using this image to paint their eyes... of course I don't expect them to come out looking just like that, I'm not that good (yet? wishful thought! LOL).

NS to spend $200 million on jobs plan
Nova Scotia is aiming the bulk of the money it will spend on a new job creation strategy at improving productivity, fostering innovation and boosting international trade.
HALIFAX: Faced with economic growth that ranks dead last in Canada over the past two decades, Nova Scotia is aiming the bulk of the money it will spend on a new job creation strategy at improving productivity, fostering innovation and boosting international trade.
The three-year, $200-million strategy announced Nov. 23 by Premier Darrell Dexter modifies dozens of existing programs and includes 20 new initiatives, although many of the details are yet to be announced.
JobsHere will see about $60 million spent on skills development. The remaining $140 million will be spent on projects that improve productivity, innovation and international trade.
Dexter said government loans, loan guarantees and other assistance programs for business will be evaluated on a company's competitiveness.
"We want to get past the situation where we are simply responding to businesses that come to government and say, 'This is my plan,'" Dexter said after the announcement. "We want to be with those companies, saying, 'How can we help you with new innovation and new competitiveness measures?'"
The government plans to establish several funds to boost venture capital and to help firms find international markets. It's also promising to review the equity tax credit in 2012 to offer tax breaks to investors who support Nova Scotia companies.
As well, the province will recognize more foreign credentials to boost the potential pool of skilled workers. There is also a promise to increase the number of immigrants who come to Nova Scotia, with 7,200 set as the target by 2020.
Business groups and the province's opposition parties said the strategy fails to address taxation, which would make the province more competitive.
Leanne Hachey of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business said the strategy is an improvement, but she was disappointed that it made no mention of tax policy.
"It's a critical missing piece," she said.

October 25, 2018 • Dennis Ellingburg
"I hate being a preacher's kid. I can't get away with anything!" This is what my 16 year old son said to me after I called him to ask him about the speeding ticket he had just gotten five minutes before. His frustration at being a PK (Preacher's Kid for those of you who aren't familiar with the term) was not just born of this one incident, but from years of gotcha moments and comments about what he could and couldn't say or do. As pastors we live in a stressful world of expectations, both realistic and unrealistic, and the daily pressure to be "real" in our ministry, but we can often miss how our decision to answer God's call to the ministry effects those we love the most, especially our children.
My wife Kristy and I often talk, well she talks and I listen, about the frustration that she has at being a preacher's wife and living up to the unrealistic expectation to be the perfect little wife, but our kids often suffer through the pressures of ministry silently, not sharing with us the hurts they experience. So what are some of the pressures I have found that my kids face, and what can we as pastors do to help our kids survive being PK's still loving the church? In the next two articles, I will look at what pressures Preacher's Kids face, and how we as pastors and church members can help our PK's survive.
Pressure 1 – Fish Bowl
On September 12, 1975, one year, three months, and five days before I was born, Pink Floyd released their haunting album Wish You Were Here. In the song of the same name, one of my favorite Floyd songs, Waters and Gilmor write this poinant line:
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
I love this line, because I think it perfectly sums up what it feels like to be in a ministry family. One of the first pressures that my son expressed in his comment is what I call the Fish Bowl effect. As ministers, everything we do is on public display. We have call by God to not only preach the word, but to live out that word before the world. Everything we do, from what we wear to what we say is analyzed and parsed by the greater community both inside and outside of our church. I heard about a pastor who was chided by the deacons of his church because he wore shorts to his son's baseball game. The deacons proclaimed that the pastor of _______________ Church should be more dignified in public and that our former pastor would never be seen in public dressed like this. What makes this worse is this happened just a few short years ago!
Our children also are faced with this same pressure. Because of the biblical mandate on pastors to "manage our own household well" (1 Timothy 3:4), our children's behavior is often weaponized against us and used as a way to attack us. This pressure to perform, to not embarrass your family, is incredibly stressful for PK's. Not only this, everything they do is magnified. While most kids with a new license may test the constraints of law enforcement, a PK's traffic indiscretion can become the talk of the town in mere minutes!
Pressure 2 – Ungrounded
Not only is the fish bowl a pressure, but so is the ungrounded nature of ministry life. PK's often find themselves unable to set down roots because of the nature of the call. My oldest son, Noah, has been a YMK (Youth Minister's Kid) and a PK (Preacher's Kid) his whole life. Because of this, he's lived in 4 different towns and attended 5 schools in his 12 years of kindergarten to high school (two were in the same town but he's counting). For a PK, this means that they are torn from friends, schools, and the community they have connected to. This can cause great pressure, and even resentment towards the conference (if you're in a presbytery model of church governance), towards their father (if you're in a congregational form of church governance), or even towards God.
Pressure 3 – Performance
A third pressure is the performance pressure. Often churches think that because a pastor or his wife perform in a certain way, the kids must too. This shows itself in a number of pressures. From the family side this can show up in Voluntelling. What do I mean by Voluntelling? Vollentelling is where we as ministry parents tell our kids they will volunteer for things at church. Ministry projects, children's events, outreach projects, fundraisers, revival meetings; all of these are things our kids will do, they aren't given an option. While their friends may be allowed to pick and choose what they will participate in ministry kids often do not.
Not only that, ministry kids are often seen as counselors, or biblical scholars by teachers or fellow students. They are seen as those who should have the answers in Bible study (and they often do), or who should be able to give godly advice to a friend (which they sometimes don't) just because their parent has that calling. And when they don't have the right answer, or when they don't know what to say, they are treated as if they are deficient somehow.
Pressure 4 – Sharing Dad
Finally, the pressure to share your father with the whole congregation is amazingly stressful. In an article in The Salt Lake Tribune pastor Corey Hodges noted: "A pastor's family has to share him or her with church-members. My boys masked their disappointment, but being a child of a pastor myself, I understood how much it hurt them."
As ministers we are expected to be there at every stage of a church member's life. Deaths, births, and hospital stays all require the presence of the pastor regardless of what's going on. I've had to leave games, come home early from vacation, and miss other events to minister to my members, and while my family doesn't complain, it's hard for them to "share" me with the church.
Next week, I'll look at what we can do to help our kids survive being a PK, but until then, let me encourage you if you are a pastor or church member reading this page to pray for Pastor's Kids. As difficult and trying as being a pastor can be, it is equally trying to be their child and the major difference is our kids did not sign up for this. So I covet your prayers for Noah, Ethan, Aiden and all the preacher's kids who love their dads.

As part of our wanting to welcome people to the studio, we also wanted to give newcomers to rope bondage a good start. We would like to introduce this one-off practical (no TK) class suitable for all levels, including absolute beginners and those would would like to improve their fundamental skills and understanding.
There will be information for both bottoms and tops useful to both perspectives and a rope bottom 101 introduction to being in rope. All attendees will get a copy of Clover's rope bottom guide to take away with them along with a printout of our most recommended warm up exercises!
You will learn fundamental skills and techniques which will be applicable to all your rope work will be covered with applications and practice and work with forms including leg ties, strappado, and upper body ties.
The class will include floorwork and practical exercises to help you explore applying the techniques explored during the day.
We will focus on going past ego and focus wholeheartedly on the person you're with. We will discuss the concept of working to reach the stage where tying doesn't get in the way of connection and so many things are involved in getting to that point.
The class itself will run from 10:00-18:00 and optional open tying jam until 23:00
This class will be followed by an optional open tying session where you can play and enjoy the skills you have learned during the day. Clover and Dave will be on hand to answer any follow up questions from the days class.
This Class is taught by WykD_Dave and Clover
What to bring? Yourselves and some rope if you have it, we have some communal rope for you to use if you do not have any.
What to wear? Clothes comfortable for tying in, fitness, dance or yoga clothes are fine as well as underwear.

The out-of-this world couch that's now in a major contemporary art exhibition
The Tate Modern just opened a major exhibition of Olafur Eliasson's work-with one monumental and highly creative sofa
The recently opened Tate Modern exhibition of Olafur Eliasson's work is arguably made for the Instagram age. Hinging on the Danish-Icelandic artist's installations, light and colour abound. In other words, the exhibition does not feel dissimilar to the experiential events increasingly being staged by companies in the private, and interlocking, design and fashion sectors.
Almost tauntingly, the exhibition is titled "Olafur Eliasson in Real Life." While visitors will not in fact come face to face with Eliasson himself, the show makes clear how cannily the Tate Modern's curatorial staff understands the nature of our current visual world. The major exhibition also further solidifies Eliasson's standing in the contemporary art world. Design enthusiasts are also likely to be enthralled, thanks in no small part to one inclusion in particular: the Fog Couch.
A fittingly ambiguous shade of light gray, the sofa is the result of a collaboration between Eliasson and the Danish textile company Kvadrat. It's also huge, as well as modular—a design attribute that seems to hint at European design precedents of the '60s–'80s. The sofa's size, as well as its ability to morph, ultimately earns it its name, far more than any color could. (For what is fog, after all, if not a substance that can bend and expand to fill a space?) The specific dimensions of each module are in fact different from all the rest. What is more, Eliasson spent five years researching textiles in order to be able to create the piece of furniture. (He ultimately worked with Icelandic artisans to create a flat knit reminiscent of those often used in their signature garments.)
While the furnishing is just one inclusion in the exhibition, it's one that's likely to spark visitors' thoughts. It's also an exciting moment for Kvadrat, which first commissioned the piece for its own offices. Reflecting on the company's relationship with Eliasson, CEO Anders Byriel said in a statement, "Olafur and his work are somehow part of our narrative; we share a mutual understanding of how we explore and interpret space."
Byriel also expressed excitement over being able to take part in Eliasson's ascendent journey. "In Real Life" is an excellent testament to his success, considering that it includes approximately 40 works, created over the past three decades. And with ideas related to architecture and sustainability cropping up throughout, it seems likely that when it comes to Eliasson's design-world potential, the sky is the (foggy) limit.

I'm surprised; I would have thought it would kick up a lot more sediment.
So are you safe from a tsunami when you are underwater? Does it depend on the depth? Do you jump into the boat and head for deeper water when you see this? I would be worried if I saw this.
Actually, yes; if you are in a boat and can get out to deeper water, do so. Tsunamis gain most of their destructive power from the runup of millions of tons of water being compressed as they reach shallows, and inertia will keep it moving inexorably inland. At sea, a tsunami is frequently barely noticeable, except by the special buoys that monitor tsunami waves.
eta: if you are underwater, location is everything. Deep water, not such a problem. Shallow water near a beach, you'll get grabbed by the wave and pulled along with everything else in a big watery mosh pit.
Shaken, not stirred.
Awful. You can hear the screams of the microfauna as they plummet to their tiny deaths, or are crushed under grams of tumbling debris.
[EDIT: Sorry. Got a bit dark there.]
Who needs fronds with anemones like you?

Football 5-a-side
【Competition Venues:Aomi Urban Sports Park】
Paralympic football 5-a-side is a type of football devised for visually impaired players. Each team consists of five members. Games are played on a court with the same dimensions as those of a futsal court. On the lines on both sides of a court, fences of approximately 1m in height are aligned. Using a ball that makes noise whenever it is in motion, players compete 20 minutes (playing time) in each of the first and second halves.
Four blindfolded athletes are field players, and an athlete with no or only slight visual impairment plays as a goalkeeper, working with the coach and a guide (caller) to provide verbal information such as the location of other players and the ball. When players move toward the player with the ball, they are required to say "voy" (meaning "go" in Spanish). If players do not shout "voy," they are penalised. These games often provide action-packed exciting matches that exceed spectator expectations.
Football for the visually impaired was developed at the beginning of 1980, and gained popularity in Europe and South America. This sport, dubbed "blind football," was introduced to Japan in 2001, and has been an official sport since the Athens 2004 Paralympic Games.

Hello Everyone!
My name is Gray Turel, and I live and work in Portland, Maine! I work mainly in acrylic, ink, marker, collage, and spray paint on everything from scavenged cardboard to studio canvas. These two pieces are from about a year ago, and they hold a special place in my heart as what convinced me that I can do this we call art.
Igor was my first experiment with depth and layers. The background was first foray into what I call "visual cacophony," whereas words and phrases are layered upon one another until they become an abstract idea rather than letters representing words, much the same as room full of 100 people shouting different words would cease to have meaning and they would all blend together into one, cacophonous symphony. I was heavily inspired by Jose Parla's work while creating Igor.
Grillz was attempt at translating the doodles and drawings I would make in the margins of my notebooks in high school into a large-scale piece. His eyes are heavy and half-closed, his jaw slack and mouth open in a state of seeming emotional exhaustion. The words are a stream-of-consciousness, unrelated to one another and blase in their content. However, it is this lack of profoundness that betrays his fragile and fragmented mental state.
So, enjoy! I would LOVE to hear your interpretations of my work, as I revel in the thought-processes of others. Be honest, but be gentle, as this is my first experience putting my art out into the world. Thank you for attention!
