Billions of plastic bags find their way into the world's oceans every year. Now the French government has moved to reduce the number of plastic bags in consumers' hands - by banning them from supermarkets altogether.
The French government has moved to ban all plastic bags from supermarkets in an attempt to curb pollution and reduce waste.
Amid debate on a biodiversity bill Wednesday evening, French lawmakers on the National Assembly's Commission for Sustainable Development voted in favor of an amendment that would bar single-use plastic bags that are not biodegradable from supermarket checkout lines and produce sections beginning in January 2016.
Instead, the measure proposed the use of thicker, reusable plastic bags or paper ones.
Renewed intiative
It was not the first time French shoppers faced a reduction in the amount of plastic bags available to them. Between 2002 and 2011, the number of plastic bags passed out in supermarkets dropped to 700 million from 10.5 billion.
The French Environment Minister Segolene Royal has said many consumers are unaware of the devastating effect the use of plastic bags has on the environment.
A press release posted on the ministry's website on Thursday said the discharge of plastic waste into the oceans not only posed a threat to marine life but had also cost the tourism and fishing industries some $13 billion.

The European Parliament may be looking into measures to split up Internet search engine services, which would primarily affect search giant Google. A draft motion was cited by the Financial Times and news agency Reuters.

I bought a bike from Bikes 2U Direct online on a Friday and it arrived on the Tuesday. Unfortunately I was not able to assemble it as there was a manufacturing fault with the forks and the front wheel could not be fitted. I phoned Bikes 2U Direct at about 2:30 pm to tell them about the fault and they offered to either: a) send me a new set of forks AND pay for a cycle shop to fit them or b) send a replacement bike. I opted for a replacement and they emailed me an address label to return the faulty bike in the original packaging. At 1000 the following day acourier arrived with a replacement bike and took away the faulty one. The person I spoke to on the phone is a credit to the company and the company itself demonstrates excellent customer service, second to none. Thankyou Bikes 2U Direct.

great song!
Hey Ale19
sorry to burst your bubble but this song isn't be the beatles
Pretty good,Edd
I like how you chose a beatle song but the voices were anoying but i did like the story.All in all it was good.
Well done, Eddie.
You don't mind if i call you Eddie, do you?
Anyway, I did enjoy the TinyToons version, but this one is different. I liked how you did it in that cut-out style. It kind of remided me of South Park, which is actually a really good show. Was that style intentional or an accident? The lip-synching was right there on the mark. the Background vocals were good as well, but Edd was simply the best. The sound quality was good too. Some people had a problem with it, but i didn't.
Of course, i did have one problem. Who was the hobo holding up the sign when you did that running down the hall and through the door thing? I couldn't see cause it was too fast and way his face looked i couldn't describe him.
Despite that issue, I give you a 10/10 and a 5/5 because it put a smile on my pretty little face.
This review will self-distruct in five seconds...boom.

Guys, I Get it Now
To the people who had kids before me,
I had no idea just how much was going on in your life after you brought that baby home. My brain couldn't even comprehend how things changed for you. I would never have guessed that you wouldn't exactly be stoked to leave behind your sweet newborn to rejoin us for a late night. Or why you seemed to never be listening when we had a conversation. Or why you were so crazy about who you asked to watch your kid. I totally didn't get it.
In fact, I didn't get a lot about the things that happen after kids. Such as:
Going out on Saturday night will NEVER be the same
There is almost nothing worse than having to keep it together and care for helpless, tiny people the day after you forgot that you no longer have the alcohol tolerance of a 22-year-old. Reliving your carefree days is so not worth paying for it, times a hundred, the next day with a hangover. No. Not ever. Never again.
Just getting a sitter, isn't "Just getting a sitter"
With all of the horrible stories of child care providers abusing children, neglecting them and kids getting kidnapped while in their care, finding a babysitter is the furthest thing from easy for a parent to do. Once you find one, add that cost to what you're already spending for the evening and it's quite an expensive outing. And that is why parents only go out when it's super duper special...or they never leave the house.
Communication is spotty
Before kids — I won't lie — I got annoyed when it took my friends and family hours or sometimes days to call me back or reply to Facebook messages. Now that I'm a mom, I consider it a good day if I EVER respond back to people. If I have free time once the kids are fed, bathed, changed, entertained, asleep, and all of my other obligations are done for the day, I'm doing nothing or going to sleep. It's not you, it's me. And me is too tired to put together any more coherent thoughts.
Being oblivious to pop culture
I'm not kidding, I had to Google Olivia Munn yesterday. I read two fashion magazines this month and wanted to yell at the writers for the things they were encouraging people to do and wear. I still am trying to understand men's fashion in 2013. And don't even get me starting on "twerking." When did I become so lame? When did I get this old? Get off my lawn!
Kids aren't as portable as they seem
The first time we took HJ to a family gathering, it took us an hour to pack the car. Then, when we added another kid to the mix, our prep time increased. If we take them to someone's home who doesn't already have little people, we almost need to travel in a bus to carry all supplies. We also have to plan around nap times (which don't happen at strangers' homes), little people meal times (They eat at 5 p.m.; NO LATER or bad things happen), and bed times.
So to everyone of you to whom I said stupid things or ignorantly planned something that directly caused a meltdown from hell, I sincerely apologize.
I get it now.
Larryville (Former Jerk) Mom

2013 Malbec Rosé, Bodegas Santa Ana(6x75cl)
Bright cherry in colour with hints of orange around the edges, the nose is fresh, aromatic and enticing. On the palate the wine is fruit driven and crisp with a dry finish.
NV Brut, Bodegas Santa Ana(6x75cl)
Santa Ana Brut has an intense green-yellow colour. This refreshing sparkling wine has very fruity aromas such as apple and pineapple and a delicate 'sweet bread' aroma from the yeast. On the palate this wine has a delicate body with fresh stone fruit flavours and a long length.
2012 Tolentino Malbec, Cuarto Dominio(12x75cl)
Black fruit and hints of spice with mocha on the nose, the palate has soft and silky tannins with rich black fruit, good concentration and a long fruity finish.
2013 Santa Ana Chardonnay, Bodegas Santa Ana(6x75cl)
A subtle and florar white wine with a crisp and mellow taste with touches of lemon and green apple
2011 Gran Mascota Malbec(6x75cl)
This Malbec wine displays aromas of ripened red fruits, such as plums and cherries with mint notes
2012 Cabernet Sauvignon, La Mascota(6x75cl)
This wine has a deep red colour with hints of violet. Aromas of licorice, cassis and warm raspberry jam. The palate is full bodied, complex and long with an elegant touch of roasted pepper and chocolate.
2014 Caracter Shiraz / Malbec, Bodegas Santa Ana(6x75cl)
An attractively vibrant, youthful shade of red with a fruit driven nose of redcurrants and spices. The palate is medium bodied, soft and easily approachable, offering an array of red fruit flavours with balancing structure and a dry, rounded finish. Very versatile.
2010 Cuarto Dominio Malbec, Cuarto Dominio(6x75cl)
Cuarto Dominio is the expression of 2 very small and different lots in the San Carlos vineyard, at 900 meters over sea level. The difference between these 2 parcels basically comes from the soil composition. Lot A with only 2 Hectares has 70% sand, 15% lime and 15% clay while Lot B with a tiny dimension of 1.4 hectares has 90% sand, 10% lime and a big percentage of surface stones. While Lot A lends ripe plum and chocolate flavours, a very soft and supple mouthfeel with excellent structure and length, Lot B offers more blackberry fruit with a slight earthy mineral tone and notes of spicy black pepper, exceptional concentration and explosive floral aromatic.
2013 Eco Organic Malbec, Bodegas Santa Ana(6x75cl)
Sweet aromas of blackberries and plums. Velvety texture accompanied by soft tannins and a long length.
2009 Unanime, La Mascota(6x75cl)
Unánime has an intense cherry-red colour, elegant aromas of chocolate and tobacco, along with a touch of black pepper and some fleshy notes. Well structured, with round tannins
that blend nicely with its fresh, juicy acidity.

Barnes & Noble is a great place to work. It's full of smart, forward thinking people who love what they do, and the product they sell. There are so many employees who have worked here for 20+ years.Cons
You begin with only two weeks paid vacation, and don't receive more until after 5 years with the company. While there is room to grow, it can be difficult since employees stay with the company for so long.RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEO

Shelly September 5, 2013
Reading this makes me mad. To think that we trusted this false prophet and defended his honor! It is one thing to have a memory lapse but quite another to outright lie about clear and proven facts. Thank you for posting another article exposing his gross deception and abuse of power. I hope that those still in the Gothard camp read this and run from this impostor.
Tammy September 5, 2013
More lies exposed. More deception brought to light. Praying for many more to see the truth of Bill Gothard's ways. So grateful to be out from under his erroneous teachings.
Clay September 5, 2013
Yep, he lies. Jesus had no kind words for charlatans.
Heather September 5, 2013
Dear Bill, let me sing a little song to you: Ahem.. memememememe...
"Though you are hiding and running and hiding, your sin will be finding, your sin will be finding, your sin will be finding you out, AHA!"
I learned this charming little song through your Children's Institutes. It's got so much truth to it. Such a pity you never took heed to it. You should have repented while you had the chance. You have no-one to blame but yourself now, that your sins are being publicly exposed. What did you think would happen? Isn't there a Scripture about 'the things that are done in secret shall be revealed... shouted from the rooftops?' (or all over the internet in this case?)
grateful September 5, 2013
Classic! nicely done. one could say the internet is the "boomerang"
Travis Penner September 5, 2013

Sincere but sincerely wrong! We have ALL been there. Forgive you both.
Guy Cooksey April 23, 2014
This is just devastating. For a man of Dr. Allen's reputation to say these things just closes the case against BG. How true my nascent suspicions were 30 years ago when I went to my first seminar.

Will Obvious Lip Liner Return? In W, It Already Has
by Beauty 63 Reactions 2 Shares Print
The May issue of W has a '60s-inspired photo shoot that's inspired by one of my least favorite beauty icons, Brigitte Bardot. (Yes, she was physically attractive, but five indictments for "inciting racial hatred" spoil it for me.) Model Lara Stone shares her trademark gap-toothed pout as always, but this time it's haloed with that '90s throwback look: dark lip liner surrounding pale lipstick.
Fashion editorials usually push the boundaries, so don't expect this style to roar back for everyday wear anytime soon. Then again, I wouldn't have thought that acid wash jeans would be the hot style for PYTs, either, so what do I know? I'll enjoy seeing this look in magazines, but for real life, I'll pass. And you?

Written by Floral Park Dispatch Staff, firstname.lastname@example.com Thursday, 29 May 2014 09:14
The Floral Park-Bellerose Elementary Union Free School District's budget was passed by voters, 1987-Yes/975-No, on Tuesday, May 20.
The approved 2014-15 FPBSD budget is $28,403,479. The budget-to-budget increase is $545,767, or 1.96 percent over last year, and the tax levy increase is $346,436, or 1.57 percent, which is below the tax cap.
The estimated impact on the average assessed home in Floral Park is less than $8 per month.
The FPBSD will implement an extended day kindergarten program. The school day for kindergarten students will increase from 2.75 hours each day, to 4.25 hours.
Over the past four years, the district has completed or committed to more than $11.5 million in capital projects. Some of the recent projects included masonry restoration and new roofs at both buildings, and new classroom flooring. In addition, the clock tower was restored and a field drainage system was installed at FPBS.
Capital projects on schedule are exterior window replacement, upgraded classroom doors, and bathroom renovations.
In addition to the school district budget vote, one school board trustee seat was open. Incumbent Jennell Horan won the election with 1502 votes. Challenger Elizabeth Rossi earned 1267 votes.
Floral Park School District residents also voted on the Sewanhaka Central High School District's budget and its bond proposition, both passed.
For a complete, line-by-line analysis of the tax cap calculation see the district's budget presentation link on the district homepage.
Additional information about the approved school budget is available on the district website at www.floralpark.k12.ny.us.

Buckley Country Day School recently presented its fall awards, honoring the school's top student-athletes for the fall season. One of those standouts is Floral Park's Vanessa Foy, who was named as the Most Valuable Player for the girls 5/6 Red soccer team.
"It is always great to celebrate and honor our wonderful student-athletes and coaches who work so hard during the season," said Roney Eford, Buckley Country Day School's director of athletics. "All of our student-athletes should be extremely proud of their accomplishments."
Friday, 21 November 2014 00:00
At the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, residents and community members joined with the Floral Park American Legion to honor veterans at the annual Veteran's Day ceremonies at Memorial Park, following a march down Tulip Avenue to the park with the members of the veterans of the Legion post, American Legion Auxiliary members, Sons of the American Legion, Boy and Cub Scouts from Troops 482 and 678 and local officials.
During the ceremony, a plaque was dedicated in memory of General Kazimierz Pulaski and others of Polish heritage who have served in the U.S. military. The plaque dedication was led by members of the Polish American Congress, Long Island Division, President Grzegorz Worma and Honorary President Richard Brzozowski. An invocation was delivered by Father Peter Rozek of St. Hedwig Church, followed by a POW-MIA ceremony by Post 334 Vice Commander Matthew Cacciatore.

NASHVILLE, February 18, 2014 – Broadcast Music, Inc.®, (BMI®), global leader in music rights management, announces the lineup for the Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association's 19th Annual Key West Songwriters Festival presented by BMI, benefitting the Shepherd Center SHARE Military Initiative, set for May 7-11, 2014. The Key West Songwriters Festival will again feature many of music's most beloved songwriters heading to the southernmost point for five days of one-of-a-kind showcases and concert events dotting venues across the island.
"Our involvement with the Key West Songwriters Festival is just another way we at BMI demonstrate our full commitment to our songwriters, getting their music exposed in meaningful, unique settings," said BMI's Executive Director of Writer/Publisher Relations Mark Mason. "We are honored to have the Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association on board to make this year's festival the biggest and best yet."
The impressive 2014 list of performers includes headliners Sara Evans, Anders Osborne, 2014 GRAMMY Award winner Kacey Musgraves, Robert Earl Keen, Kree Harrison, DJ DU, Matraca Berg, Tony Joe White, and 2013 BMI Country Icon Dean Dillon.

"This year, we feel the diverse talent lineup will encourage people to take a trip to the state's southernmost point to hear the stories behind the big hits and go on an adventure to a unique destination."
After 2013's record-breaking year, the 2014 edition of the festival promises to deliver even more finely-crafted music and stories behind the hits. Anders Osborne is set to headline the festival's kickoff concert on Wednesday, May 7 on the Sunset Pier at the Ocean Key Resort. Over the course of five days, more than 50 free shows and in-the-round showcases featuring some of the nation's finest songwriters will follow, including a free concert on Duval Street with Sara Evans, co-presented by RCA Records Nashville. Last year's Duval St. concert saw a record audience of over 5,000 people.
Six ticketed shows will pack the historic San Carlos Theatre, Tropic Cinema, and The Studios of Key West. 2014 GRAMMY Award winner Kacey Musgraves will close out the festival with a must-see performance on the Casa Marina Resort beach. Tickets will go on sale mid-March and can be purchased at keywestsongwritersfestival.com. Specific lineups and venue information will be announced soon.

About the Key West Songwriters Festival
The Key West Songwriters Festival is the largest festival of its kind in the world. The event's 1995 debut was small but memorable, featuring Mickey Newbury and Shel Silverstein. BMI stepped in as a partner and sponsor in 1996 and has helped it grow into both a tourist attraction and favorite of island locals. The festival revolves around five days and nights of more than 30 free shows, staged at an array of the island's most popular drinking holes and hot spots, where live music introduces crowds to the faces, voices and stories behind the songs. Diverse lineups featuring more than 100 top songwriters deliver rare, "Key West-only" moments. More info available at

Fun news for the day! My Facebook page has garnered #5 in the Top Ten Tropical Pages!
It's great to have the acknowledgement and know that promoting Key West to the world pays off in appreciation! I run this blog with the same thing in mind. So many people the world over, love Key West and the Florida Keys, I try to help those who love it here to make it a part of their daily lives from afar. Even if it's just for a few seconds on Facebook, or perhaps a bit longer and more in depth, here on the blog, it's great to know it's all worthwhile! Thank you Ed Robinson!!!
Also, check out Ed Robinson's book, which is inexpensive and available on Amazon as a download "Leap Of Faith", an autobiography on saying the heck with the rat race and buying a boat and living on it!
I started doing the Bar Tending With Boris videos almost two years ago. I started calling myself Boris because it fit with the word Bar Tending and also, it was my nickname in grammar school. In my school, everyone had a nickname. There was Gonzo, Dirk, Gabe, Fudd, Phonzo, Bunk, … the list went on and on! My nickname was "Boris" after Boris Badenov in the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons. HA HA!
So it wasn't like I just pulled the name out of thin air… I just pulled it out of mothballs!
The fun thing about doing it was that the first take is never right. The drink may sometimes need tweaking, but the video always does. Not being a believer in waste, naturally the drink in the bad take must be consumed. So, you can imagine what it can be like by the third or fourth take! :-O
Over time I've also had several assistants who have helped me out on these comic endeavors. Up to this last week, we've had Bobby DeVito (a.k.a. Bobby D.), Cindi Hogan, Doug Bittner, and Rick Hogan. The locations have also been in my own kitchen, 90 miles and three blocks from Havana, in Key West, as well as up on Cudjoe Key, twenty-two miles north of here. It's been quite a laugh!
I say "comic", as although the drink recipes are quite refined and authentic, the presentation is really, quite off the wall! First of all, there's a bar tender named Boris and second, after three or four takes, he's often hammered!
No, these are not bar tending videos that have some guy in a three piece suit, ruffled shirt, and a bow tie, who doesn't know how to break a smile, being very, very serious in his drink making instruction. No, these are FUN videos and funny at the same time. After all, the ONLY reason people drink is to alter their consciousness, hopefully for the right reasons. What Bar Tending With Boris offers is something that is focused on the fun side of bar tending. If someone wants to see some guy acting like he just ate a lemon and has a stick up his ass, there are hundreds of them on Youtube to be seen. However, if someone wants to have fun and a good laugh, Bar Tending With Boris is for them!
In addition, the recipes we're doing are actually second to none. I'll put these recipes up against anything out there that the lemon eating, stick up the ass, bow tie bar tending, Youtube bar tendering brigade can offer. Don't get me wrong. Their recipes are very good, but ours are on the level with the best of them, just a whole lot more fun to watch! In all the comic mayhem in the videos, if anyone who sees them tries the recipes, they'll be amazed. They are all great recipes! Try them!
In the last two editions that have been done, we've added my roommate my Dani Hoy, who has contributed immensely! First of all, there's her marvelous personality and magnetic smile! Second, there are her video editing skills. In the past I've always just took a full take. There was no editing. With Dani here we now have intros, intro music, great editing, and the recipe written out for the viewer at the end! The game has stepped up! Here's the first one we put together, The Mojito, or The Key West Earthquake Mojito, as we had an earthquake about 40 minutes earlier that day.
After that, Dani and I boarded our friends Larry Poff and Michelle Dougan's boat "Transition", here in Key West and set sail with our friends from Albuquerque Michelle and Brian Fields, as well as Chris Robinson. This was the first Bar Tending With Boris where our location was on a boat sailing! This time we had Michelle and Brian as guest bar tenders and they made us a marvelous variation of the Margarita from Albuquerque, The Cucumber and Jalapeno Margarita! As I write this on January 25, 2014 this is our latest video installment!
We're always trying new things, so who knows what will be next? One thing is for sure however, we WILL be doing more on the high seas, celebrating both the cocktails and the waters of Key West. I mean seriously, if the opportunity is there, when in Key West, who in their right mind would not head out on the beautiful water here?
We made a Facebook Page that have all the Bar Tending With Boris videos and will also have the newest ones as they come out! Please feel free to join the page!!!
Also My CD is available on iTunes, CD Baby, CD Universe, Rhapsody, and Beachfront Radio.

Austin's newest concert venue will open at 8 p.m. on April 5 with an inaugural performance by country superstar Kenny Chesney.
The Austin 360 Tower Amphitheater is located in the center of the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) race track underneath the iconic 220 foot tall observation tower. Show capacity at the theater is about 15,000 with just over 5,000 seats and a large grass berm for general admission. COTA calls it the largest permanent stage in Austin.
The show represents one more step in COTA's plan to make the circuit a 365 day events destination. Last week COTA made a bid to host the ESPN X Games from 2014 through 2017 and is looking to add tennis to their sports schedule. In addition to sports and concerts, COTA is hosting a number of conventions and last month began hosting gala events.
Chesney, the biggest ticket seller in country music and four time CMA "Entertainer of the Year," is set to kick off his "No Shoes Nation" American tour March 16. He just added 26 new dates to the tour, expanding to 46 stops including Austin. Kacey Musgraves will open for Chesney.
"We're thrilled to open our new Tower Amphitheater, which will be the largest outdoor entertainment venue in Central Texas, with the No. 1 ticket seller in country music today," Circuit President Steve Sexton said in a press release.
"Kenny Chesney is a remarkable and engaging performer, a true fan favorite and one of the elite touring artists in the world. The Tower Amphitheater will showcase the biggest names in music, and for our very first show, it doesn't get much bigger than Kenny Chesney."
Tickets for the show start at $45, which does not include parking — and you will need parking — that will cost an additional $12.
December started off with a bit of a twist for me. For quite some time I've been dealing with heart disease and now and then it rears it's head. My issue is cholesterol which causes blockage in the arteries that are in my heart. The good news is that I have a great cardiologist and his team, here in Key West, Dr. Bruce Boros. I drove up to Miami Beach and was in and out of the hospital in less than 24 hours. The solution is having a stent put in, which opens up the artery and the blood flow returns to normal. The weird thing about this is that there is virtually no recovery period! One minute you're feeling like you're ready to check out, the next you're ready to run around the block! Many thanks to Dr. Boros as well as the team in Miami Beach headed by Dr. Berger.
The great thing here was the fact that it required a drive back through the Keys to get home! I always tell anyone coming to Key West to be sure to take your time driving through the Keys to appreciate them for what they are. In English we have a saying for this that goes "Take time to stop and smell the roses". I elected to do this as well. Prior to moving to Key West, I lived in the southern area of Miami/Dade County and consequently I'd hop in the car and take a 30 mile drive (49 Km) to Key Largo. What a perfect excuse to head and stop there on my way home! I found myself at one of my favorite haunts which is one of the best bars in the entire world, The Caribbean Club. Some may remember the Caribbean Club from my blog a while back naming the ten best bars in the Florida Keys?
I arrived about an hour before sunset, which is always impeccable, as the back of the Caribbean Club is on Black Water Sound.

I made a rendezvous with my dear friend Nina while I was there and we headed over to another place in Key Largo, Sharkey's (also see ten best bars in the Keys) where our friend Mike was playing. I've known Mike for nearly twenty years, from my days in Miami/Dade! What a great thing it was to go as well! I ended up getting to sit in with his band for a couple of songs. Here I was, only hours out of the hospital after a heart procedure and I'm sitting for a couple of songs! Thank God for medical science!
I stayed overnight in Key Largo and continued my trip in the morning after grabbing a breakfast at a restaurant in Key Largo that I often go to, Mrs. Mack's.
My next stop was in Islamorada, a town south of Key Largo consisting of about five or six islands. For me, my stop there this time was Robbie's. Robbie's is really just a shack. It's a lot like stepping into a time warp actually. What is so unique about Robbie's is that off their dock, you can feed the tarpon with buckets of fish that you can buy at the shack. A tarpon is a good sized game fish. They are not edible. Here we're not fishing for them, but rather feeding them! There are also a lot of pelicans hanging out there as well, who are more than happy to compete with the tarpon for the fish!
Posing pelican with Tarpon behind him
"The Keys Rabbler" gets me everywhere!
Leaving there, my next stop was just a pedestrian bridge, built on the old traffic bridge. These are all up and down the Keys, this one being at Lower Matacumbe Key. I was amazed at the strength of the current. Bear in mind that this is that the bridges are where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Flor8ida Bay/Gulf of Mexico. Driving south, you'll have the Atlantic Ocean on your left and the Gulf of Mexico on your right. The tidal currents were amazingly strong here!
I'll continue this trip on the next blog!
I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday season!

Product description
"I Am Malala" is the memoir of a remarkable teenage girl who risked her life for the right to go to school. Raised in a changing Pakistan by an enlightened father from a poor background and a beautiful, illiterate mother from a political family, Malala was taught to stand up for what she believes. "I Am Malala" tells her story of bravery and determination in the face of extremism, detailing the daily challenges of growing up in a world transformed by terror.Written for her peers with critically acclaimed author Patricia McCormick, this important book is about the value of speaking out against intolerance and hate. It s a message of hope from one girl who dreams of education for every girl in every country."

Alto. I was thinking about going for something else though, if I decide to get back to music. Probably a tenor sax, as I love me some jazz!
How about you?

I could be wrong (I've never watched DM) but I'm pretty sure that is a Clarinet playing the music. I guess you could play it on a saxophone though.
