The 2014 Ebola outbreak across Guinea, northern Liberia, and Sierra Leone is fuelling concern worldwide. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), with 9,427 laboratory confirmed cases of Ebola virus this year to date and around 5,420 deaths from the epidemic, this is the worst outbreak ever. Medical News Today examines the effects of Ebola on the human body and the current concerns people may have about the virus.
November update
The EFP Tactical Medical Group - a leading medical training organization on the front line of the Ebola outbreak - has called for national quarantines to help fight the spread of the virus. The organization claims delaying the implementation of this measure will result in an international epidemic.
EFP's chief executive, Thomas Omogi, describes the current global response to Ebola as "badly designed and poorly implemented," and the reactions from governments across the world as "inadequate and ill-informed."
Meanwhile, the World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a new protocol for the "safe and dignified burial" of people who have died from suspected or confirmed Ebola virus disease. The protocol encourages the inclusion of family members of the deceased, and encourages religious rites as a part of safe burial.
The new protocol was developed by an interdisciplinary team of experts from WHO, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and faith organizations including World Council of Churches, Islamic Relief, Caritas Internationalis and World Vision.
When an Ebola infection occurs in humans, the virus can be spread in several ways to others. Above is a list of ways Ebola can and cannot be transmitted.
October update
The WHO organized an expert consultation to assess the status of work to test and eventually license two promising candidate Ebola vaccines.
The first is cAd3-ZEBOV, which has been developed by GlaxoSmithKline in collaboration with the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. It uses a chimpanzee-derived adenovirus vector with an Ebola virus gene inserted.
The second, rVSV-ZEBOV, was developed by the Public Health Agency of Canada in Winnipeg with NewLink Genetics company, located in Ames, Iowa. The vaccine uses a weakened vesicular stomatitis virus, a pathogen found in livestock; one of its genes has been replaced by an Ebola virus gene.
The next step is to make these vaccines available as soon as possible - and in sufficient quantities - to protect critical frontline workers and to make a difference in the epidemic's future evolution.
September update
CDC confirmed on September 30, 2014, the first case of Ebola to be diagnosed in the US in a person who had traveled to Dallas, TX from West Africa.
First case of Ebola is diagnosed in the US.
CDC have responded by ensuring experts will assist state and local health departments to find, assess, and assist everyone who came into contact with the Ebola patient between the time he became symptomatic (before having symptoms, people with Ebola cannot spread the infection) and the time he was placed in an isolation ward.
"We are stopping Ebola in its tracks in this country," said CDC Director Tom Frieden, MD, MPH, "We can do that because of two things: strong infection control that stops the spread of Ebola in health care; and strong core public health functions to trace contacts, track contacts, isolate them if they have any symptoms and stop the chain of transmission. I am certain we will control this."
Experts from the WHO and Imperial College, London, say that unless Ebola control measures in west Africa are enhanced quickly, numbers will continue to climb exponentially.
It is predicted that more than 20,000 people will have been infected by early November, according to a new article in the New England Journal of Medicine released 6 months after WHO was first notified of the outbreak in West Africa.
On September 24, 2014, CDC announced that Ebola cases in West Africa could exceed 550,000 by January.
If current trends continue, they say the future number of cases in Liberia and Sierra Leone could exceed 550,000 by January. That estimate is based on reported cases. If under-reporting is taken into account, their calculations suggest that figure is likely to be nearer 1.4 million.
The Ebola outbreak in Nigeria appears to be nearing a possible end due to a rapid response coordinated by Nigeria's Emergency Operations Center with assistance from international partners, including the CDC.
The official end to an Ebola outbreak comes when two of the 21-day incubation periods for Ebola virus have elapsed without any new cases."Although Nigeria isn't completely out of the woods, their extensive response to a single case of Ebola shows that control is possible with rapid, focused interventions," said CDC Director Tom Frieden, "Countries throughout the region as well as Nigeria need to take rapid steps to prepare for possible cases of Ebola in order to prevent outbreaks in their country."
August update
WHO have launched a new $100 million response plan as part of an intensified international, regional and national campaign, to combat the outbreak of Ebola in West Africa:
A discussion panel, led by WHO, concluded that it is ethical to offer unproven interventions with as yet unknown efficacy and adverse effects, as potential treatment or prevention for Ebola.
"The scale of the Ebola outbreak, and the persistent threat it poses, requires WHO and Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone to take the response to a new level, and this will require increased resources, in-country medical expertise, regional preparedness and coordination," says Dr Margaret Chan, Director-General of the World Health Organization. "The countries have identified what they need, and WHO is reaching out to the international community to drive the response plan forward."
On the 11th August 2014, WHO assembled a discussion panel to consider and assess the ethical implications for clinical decision-making of the potential use of unregistered interventions.
The panel reached consensus that "it is ethical to offer unproven interventions with as yet unknown efficacy and adverse effects, as potential treatment or prevention. Ethical criteria must guide the provision of such interventions. These include transparency about all aspects of care, informed consent, freedom of choice, confidentiality, respect for the person, preservation of dignity and involvement of the community."
Ebola virus disease (EVD), previous known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever (Ebola HF), is a serious, often fatal condition in humans and nonhuman primates such as monkeys, gorillas and chimpanzees. Ebola is one of several viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHF), caused by infection with a virus of the Filoviridae family, genus Ebolavirus.1-3
Ebola has a case fatality rate of up to 90% and is currently one of the world's most infectious diseases. The infection is transmitted by direct contact with the blood, body fluids and tissues of infected animals or people. Severely ill patients require intensive supportive care.4

This Medical News Today information page will give you the essential details about Ebola. You will also see introductions at the end of some sections to any recent developments that have been covered by MNT's news stories. Also look out for links to information about related conditions.
Fast facts on Ebola
Here are some key points about Ebola. More detail and supporting information is in the main article.
- Ebola virus disease (EVD) is a serious, often fatal condition in humans and nonhuman primates.
- Ebola has a fatality rate of up to 90%.
- It is one of the world's most infectious diseases.
- Genus Ebolavirus is one of three members of the Filoviridae family (filovirus).
- It has been hypothesized by researchers that the virus is animal-borne.
- In an outbreak or isolated case among humans, the manner in which the virus is transmitted from the natural reservoir to a human is unclear.
- Ebola tends to spread quickly through families and friends as they are exposed to infectious secretions when caring for an ill individual.
- The time interval from infection with Ebola to the onset of symptoms is 2 to 21 days.
- EVD is often characterized by the abrupt onset of fever, intense weakness, muscle pain, headache and sore throat.
- There is currently no licensed vaccine available for Ebola.
- Several vaccines are being tested, but at this time none are available for clinical use.
What is Ebola?
The first cases of Ebola were reported simultaneously in 1976 in Yambuku and the surrounding area, near the Ebola River in Zaire, which is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo and in Nzara, Sudan. Since then, eruptions or asymptomatic cases of Ebola viruses in humans and animals have surfaced intermittently in the following locations due to outbreaks or laboratory contamination and accidents:5
The first cases of Ebola were reported in 1976 in Yambuku and the surrounding area, near the Ebola River in Zaire, which is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
- Zaire (Democratic Republic of the Congo - DRC)
- Sudan (South Sudan)
- England
- Philippines
- Italy
- Gabon
- Ivory Coast
- South Africa
- Russia
- Uganda
- Guinea
- Liberia
- Sierra Leone.
Genus Ebolavirus is one of three members of the Filoviridae family (filovirus), along with genus Marburgvirus and genus Cuevavirus. Genus Ebolavirus comprises five distinct subspecies:1,2
- Bundibugyo Ebolavirus (BDBV)
- Zaire Ebolavirus (EBOV)
- Reston Ebolavirus (RESTV)
- Sudan Ebolavirus (SUDV)
- Taï Forest Ebolavirus (TAFV).
BDBV, EBOV, and SUDV have been connected with considerable EVD outbreaks in Africa, however RESTV and TAFV have not.
The RESTV subspecies found in Philippines and the People's Republic of China, can infect humans, but no illness or death in humans from this species has been reported to date.2 Among workers in contact with monkeys or pigs infected with RESTV, several infections have been documented in people who were clinically asymptomatic. Hence, RESTV appears less able to cause disease in humans than other Ebola species.
What causes Ebola?
Ebola is caused by the five viruses detailed above classified in the genus Ebolavirus, family Filoviridae. The natural reservoir of Ebolavirus has not yet been proven, for that reason, how the virus first appears in a human at the onset of an outbreak is unknown.6
It has been hypothesized by researchers that the virus is zoonotic (animal-borne), with the first patient developing the infection through contact with an infected animal.
Ebola is caused by the five viruses above classified in the genus Ebolavirus, family Filoviridae.
The theorized potential natural reservoirs of the Ebola virus are Fruit bats of the Pteropodidae family.2 In Africa, infection has been documented through the handling of the following infected animals found ill or dead or in the rainforest:
- Chimpanzees
- Gorillas
- Fruit bats
- Monkeys
- Forest antelope
- Porcupines.
In an outbreak or isolated case among humans, the manner in which the virus is transmitted from the natural reservoir to a human is unclear. Person-to-person transmission is a method by which further infections occur after a human is infected.
Transmission of Ebola between humans can occur in several ways, including through:
- Direct contact through broken skin and mucus membranes with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people
- Indirect contact with environments contaminated with such fluids
- Exposure to objects (such as needles) that have been contaminated with infected secretions
- Burial ceremonies in which mourners have direct contact with the body of the deceased person can also play a role in the transmission of Ebola
- Men who have recovered from the disease can still transmit the virus through their semen for up to 7 weeks after recovery from illness
- Health care workers have frequently been infected while treating patients with suspected or confirmed EVD.
Ebola tends to spread quickly through families and friends as they are exposed to infectious secretions when caring for an ill individual. The virus can also spread quickly within health care settings for the same reason, highlighting the importance of wearing appropriate protective equipment, such as masks, gowns and gloves.7 Sterilization and disposal of needles and syringes thoroughly in hospitals is an important factor to prevent virus transmission continuing and amplifying an outbreak.
There is no evidence that Ebola can be spread via insect bites.8
Recent developments on Ebola causes from MNT news
Scientists discover how deadly Ebola virus 'punches' its way into human cells
Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine have discovered that the deadly Ebola virus uses a "molecular fist" to punch its way out of vesicles - the secure pockets that cells keep captured viruses and other unwanted agents in until they can be disposed of.
Examining the causes of Ebola virus outbreaks
What determines the location and severity of Ebola virus outbreaks? According to Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine researcher Daniel Bausch, lead author of "Outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease in Guinea: Where Ecology Meets Economy," a new article in PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, the causes are a composite of biological and ecological circumstances superimposed on populations made vulnerable by social and political strife.
DRC Ebola outbreak 'distinct and independent event,' say WHO
The World Health Organization have announced that the Ebola virus in the new outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is not derived from strains circulating in the current outbreak in West Africa.
Ebola gene study traces origin of current outbreak
An international research team has rapidly sequenced 99 Ebola virus genomes collected in the 2014 outbreak. The team, including members from the Broad Institute and Harvard University in the US and the Sierra Leone Ministry of Health and Sanitation, hopes the findings will help multidisciplinary, international efforts to understand and contain the unprecedented epidemic that is growing in West Africa.
Bats are potential source of West Africa Ebola epidemic
A study, published in EMBO Molecular Medicine, suggests the outbreak of the Ebola virus disease occurring in West Africa may have originated from contact between humans and virus-infected bats. The insectivorous free-tailed bats in particular have been identified as plausible reservoir hosts.
Ebola can survive in victims' bodies for days
After testing swabs and tissue samples from the bodies of deceased Ebola-infected monkeys, scientists determined the virus can stay alive for up to 7 days in a dead victim. They also found that non-infectious viral genetic material can remain for up to 70 days after death. The researchers report their findings in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases.
Signs and symptoms
The time interval from infection with Ebola to the onset of symptoms is 2 to 21 days, although 8 to 10 days is most common. Signs and symptoms may include:9
EVD is often characterized by the abrupt onset of fever, intense weakness, muscle pain, headache and sore throat.
- Fever
- Headache
- Joint and muscle aches
- Weakness
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Stomach pain
- Lack of appetite.
Some patients may experience:
- A rash
- Red eyes
- Hiccups
- Cough
- Sore throat
- Chest pain
- Difficulty breathing
- Difficulty swallowing
- Bleeding inside and outside of the body.
EVD is often characterized by the abrupt onset of fever, intense weakness, muscle pain, headache and sore throat. These signs are usually followed by vomiting, diarrhea, rash, impaired kidney and liver function, and in some severe cases, both internal and external bleeding.
Laboratory outcomes include low white blood cell and platelet counts and elevated liver enzymes.
As long as the patient's blood and secretions contain the virus, they are infectious. Ebola virus was isolated from semen 61 days after onset of illness in a man who was infected in a laboratory.2
Risk factors
Risk of contracting Ebola is low. There is a higher risk of becoming infected when:10
- Traveling to Africa - where most confirmed cases of Ebola have been reported
- Conducting animal research with monkeys imported from Africa or the Philippines
- Providing medical or personal care - protective gear such as surgical masks and gloves should be worn
- Preparing people for burial.
Tests and diagnosis
Before Ebola can be diagnosed, other diseases should be ruled out such as:2
- Malaria
- Typhoid fever
- Shigellosis
- Cholera
- Leptospirosis
- Plague
- Rickettsiosis
- Relapsing fever
- Meningitis
- Hepatitis
- Other viral hemorrhagic fevers.
If Ebola is suspected, the patient should be isolated, and public health professionals notified. Ebola virus infections can be diagnosed definitively in a laboratory through several types of tests.11
Within a few days after symptoms begin, the virus can be diagnosed with:
- Antigen-capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) testing
- IgM ELISA
- Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
- Virus isolation.
In the more advanced stages of the disease or after recovery, the diagnostic test available is:
- IgM and IgG antibodies.
Retrospectively Ebola can be diagnosed in deceased patients by:
- Immunohistochemistry testing
- Virus isolation.
According to the World Health Organization, samples from patients with Ebola are an extreme biohazard risk. Testing should be conducted under maximum biological containment conditions.
Recent developments on Ebola diagnosis from MNT news
Ebola outbreak in West Africa shows no sign of slowing down
The spread of deadly Ebola in West Africa appears to be increasing and getting out of control, as a leading medical charity warns of over-stretched resources, and concerns are raised that it may spread to other continents.
Sierra Leone researchers call for health surveillance improvements to tackle Ebola crisis
The Lancet publish a statement from researchers working in Sierra Leone calling for improvements to health care resources, disease surveillance and diagnostic technologies to tackle the ongoing Ebola crisis in West Africa.
Cheap, fast 'paper strip' test for Ebola, other infections, steps closer
Researchers working in the field of synthetic biology are bringing together science, engineering and computing to understand and copy the workings of biological life in new ways to achieve remarkable breakthroughs. Two studies published in Cell show how advances in this field could one day lead to cheap, reliable diagnostics for diseases like Ebola - tests that could be done rapidly in the field using only drops of blood or saliva on strips of paper embedded with synthetic biology circuits.
How is Ebola treated?
Treatment for Ebola is limited to intensive supportive care and often includes:12
- Balancing the patient's fluids and electrolytes
- Maintaining their oxygen status and blood pressure
- Treating a patient for any complicating infections.
Experimental treatments have been tested and proven effective in animal models but as yet have not been used in humans.
Recent developments on Ebola treatment from MNT news
Natural antiviral protein stops HIV, deadly viruses entering cells
Researchers in the US have identified a natural antiviral protein that stops HIV and certain other deadly viruses like Ebola, Rift Valley Fever and Nipah, from entering host cells.
'Miraculous' Ebola cure inspired by 19th century medicine
The so-called miraculous treatment of the two American missionaries struck down by the Ebola virus has been in the headlines for the past week, but where did this drug come from? In a scientific commentary, Dr. Scott Podolsky writes that the inspiration for the drug is rooted in the pioneering research of the late 19th century.
Ebola virus protein offers potential drug target
As our knowledge of the molecular structure of Ebola virus increases, so does our chance of preventing and treating the outbreaks of deadly hemorrhagic fever that it causes. Now, a new crystallography study from the US shows how a key Ebola protein - important for virus replication - could be a target for new drugs.
Ebola vaccine set for human trials after inducing long-term immunity in monkeys
In response to the Ebola outbreak across West Africa, scientists around the world are racing to develop a vaccine against the disease. Now, a study by researchers from the National Institutes of Health reveals the creation of a vaccine that has generated long-term immunity against the Ebola virus in monkeys. The vaccine is now entering phase one clinical trials in humans.
Ebola survivors' blood to undergo evaluation as treatment option
An international group of scientists is to test whether antibodies from the blood and serum of Ebola survivors are safe and can help infected people fight the virus. Trials are due to start in Guinea in a few weeks.
Lasting protection against Ebola from single-dose inhaled vaccine looks feasible
An experimental anti-Ebola vaccine that can be taken in inhaled form is showing promise following animal trials that compared it to injected forms. Results of the pre-clinical study are reported in the journal Molecular Pharmaceutics. It is thought to be the only proof to date that a single, non-injected dose of anti-Ebola vaccine can give long-lasting protection.
New mouse model opens doors for improved Ebola research
A new mouse model has been created to more accurately reflect the human experience of Ebola infection. Researchers hope that the new mouse strain will accelerate research on potential vaccines and treatments for Ebola.
Promising results in Ebola vaccine safety trial
The results of a small trial of an experimental Ebola vaccine in humans shows that it appears safe, produces an immune response and is well tolerated, prompting support for its development to be fast-tracked.
53 Ebola-blocking drugs identified among existing medications
A study led by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, NY, and the National Institutes of Health has identified 53 existing drugs that may be effective at preventing the Ebola virus from entering human cells. The results of the study are published in the journal Emerging Microbes and Infections.
Experimental drug 'successfully treated doctor who contracted Ebola'
A new report published in The Lancet reveals how a male doctor who contracted Ebola in Sierra Leone survived the disease after being treated with a drug that is being tested for use against vascular leakage syndrome.
Ebola: new study is first to report vaccine success in Africa
A study published in The Lancet is the first to reveal the success of an Ebola vaccine in an African population, as well as the success of a vaccine for the closely related Marburg virus.
Ebola vaccine worked in monkeys; potential drug target found
A new Ebola vaccine may be trialled in humans after eight macaques immunized experimentally did not succumb to the deadly infection, whereas two unvaccinated monkeys did. And in a separate development, research into the biological mechanisms of the virus has produced results that could lead to a future drug treatment.
How is Ebola prevented?
There is currently no licensed vaccine available for Ebola. Several vaccines are being tested, but at this time none are available for clinical use.
As it is still unknown how individuals are infected with Ebola, the prevention of the infection presents a challenge. However, there are primary prevention measures that can assist with the challenge, such as:13
- Wearing of protective clothing (such as masks, gloves, gowns and goggles) for health care professionals
- The use of infection-control measures (such as complete equipment sterilization and routine use of disinfectant)
- Isolation of Ebola patients from contact with unprotected persons.
Together with the World Health Organization, CDC has developed a set of guidelines to help prevent and control the spread of Ebola - Infection Control for Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers In the African Health Care Setting.14

Flatbush ZOMBiES - Palm Trees
Artist: Flatbush ZOMBiES
Producer: Erick Arc Elliott
Album: BetterOffDEAD
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 4 votes )
Fresh off lending their flows to Camouflage Dons, a single off Statik Selektah's Extended Play LP, the Flatbush ZOMBiES bounce back with the latest release off their own forthcoming set. As those familiar with the trio's oeuvre may have guessed, this joint ain't about the kind of Palm Trees that produce coconuts. Which isn't to say it would sound out of place on a tropical beach. Featuring Meechy Darko, Zombie Juice and Erick Arc Elliott trading characteristically dark, trippy verses over Elliott's dreamy vocal loops, the record is a dope hybrid between summer jam and smoker's anthem. Fans will be able to find Palm Trees, previous single No Religion and many more fresh cuts on the ZOMBiES' BetterOffDEAD LP, dropping digitally in the near future.

Adrenaline and its effects is the crushing elephant in the room of every courthouse across the country. Lawyers strung out on adrenaline are crowding our courtrooms with lawsuits that never end, disputes that never get resolved, because those entrusted to handle them have a compulsive need to continue the fight-or-flight hormone rush within their own bodies. Yet, no one teaches lawyers about the physiological effects of day-to-day lawyering. Perhaps the legal profession needs to look outside its ranks to understand and learn to deal with this pressing problem.

GCCanadaAge: 18-24Gender: Female2 Stars Out Of 5September 10, 2013GCCanadaAge: 18-24Gender: FemaleI don't think it was a coincidence that I had a conversation with a reader friend on reviewing not-so-favorite books while reading ''Duchess''. There is never intention of coming across as rude or inconsiderate when reviewing books I didn't like. However, just like my reader friend said so well : ''sometimes, a book is only as good as the reader.'' The author might be seen by others as a very gifted writer but for one reader, one or a couple of stories written by this author might prove to be hard to ''connect'' with.
This was exactly the case for me with ''Duchess''.
I can understand why many readers liked the book. Susan May Warren is a name well-known in Christian Fiction and her pen is quite fine. With many bestsellers and several fans of her work, she's influenced a good number of writers. If you haven't read one of her books, at some point, you just have to see what all the noise is about. I've discovered a writer with the ability to craft great ideas and backgrounds for her stories. I've read and enjoyed ''My Foolish Heart'' and thought ''Baroness'' - the 1st book in the Daughters of Fortune series - a nice read. But ''Duchess''? The cover is elegant; the setting is elegant, but I had SUCH a difficult time getting into the story. Here are some reasons why.
In the first place, the point of view. First person participant. We only get to ''see'' the story through Rosie's point of view. I so wish this had been different. I really, really couldn't understand Rosie, her behavior was too contradictory. Providing a second pair of 'lenses' to assess the story can enrich it immensely, granting a reader the opportunity to understand more about characters and situations. It seemed to me like there was a lot to understand in between the lines with Rosie. Rolfe's perspective might have helped in clarifying some things and enjoying the story more. Secondly, Duchess is VERY slow many times, because of the long descriptions. And the slowness of the story had me noticing the clichés in the story. (Repeated mentions and descriptions of riches.) Also, it's hard to follow at times because some elements are not clear. I didn't read the first book in the series so I was left confused about several details of Rosie's past. I get that a writer should withhold some things to pique a reader's curiosity about the other books in the series, however, Warren could have given more details of the first book to help me understand and enjoy the last one, in my opinion. And lastly, Rosie's and Rolfe's ''connection'' is a bit lacking.
Nonetheless, this is only one reader's view and come to think of it, stories that weren't easy to connect with help me, in a sense, as a reader. They contribute in helping me realize and articulate clearly what it is I look for in a story. To anyone considering ''Duchess'', several glowing reviews have been written about it so you never know..
Jane SquiresWasola, MoAge: 55-65Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Plan of God is more than applauseJuly 8, 2013Jane SquiresWasola, MoAge: 55-65Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5What a book to encourage, uplift and help you move forward in trusting God.
You learn so much about Hollywood and how it has changed now. Roxy or Rosie looked for applause to keep her mind off choices she had made.
Rolfe uses a film production to help Jews escape being killed. The time the Nazis persecuted them is so real as you read.
The romance between Roxy or Rosie and Rolfe takes time. Yet God has a plan. When they detour from his plan, he brings them together again and again.
The ending is a time of rejoicing as Rosie reconnects with her daughter from her first marriage. Her brother returns from war where he was thought dad and surprises her Mom.
Rosie and Rolfe have a daughter birthed during war. Rolfe's daughter from his first marriage is made part of their family. God's plan is unfolded to completion.
Applause was no what Rosie needed but rather fulfillment through God's love.
MaureenTSyracuse NYGender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Daughters of FortuneMay 7, 2013MaureenTSyracuse NYGender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5The hardest part about this book is having it ending, and knowing there isn't another one coming.
Rosie is now a star, she pays a high price for being one. We get a close up look at the film industry, just when talking pictures are coming. By the end of the book they are tying color.
Rosie is now Roxy, and she is in a marriage of convenience, with Dashielle Parks. You will feel, it seems to be more to his advantage than hers. There is no love in this marriage, and they both agreed. How sad.
There are some very sad happenings in this story, but what a kind heart Rosie has. Don't know if I could have opened my home and heart the way she did. Love how she followed the Lord.
We travel with Rosie to Europe to make a movie produced by the man, her Mom Jinx wanted her to originally marry. The World is getting dark again, as Hitler is coming to power. Will the movie help serve a purpose, bring fame to Rosie, or could it play a larger roll in helping people, who through no fault of their own, are fearing for their lives.
Don't miss this conclusion to the Daughter's of Fortune Series, and if you haven't read the first two, do yourself a favor, and devour them!
I received this book through Litfuse Publicity Book Tours, and was not required to give a positive review.
i blog 4 books4 Stars Out Of 5Emotional Conclusion to this SeriesApril 30, 2013i blog 4 booksI have thoroughly enjoyed the Daughters of Fortune series by Susan May Warren and was excited to see how all of the loose ends wrapped up (hopefully!) in the conclusion, Duchess. As I've come to expect from Warren, this book was an emotional roller coaster! I found myself feeling such intense emotions right alongside Roxy—sorrow, joy, despair, love.
I don't want to give too many "secrets" away, but let me just say that I was pleased to see how several of the story lines from earlier in the series concluded. It was fun to meet up with old characters and to reconnect with Roxy. I admit I was a little frustrated with Roxy at the beginning. She just got under my skin. But then she started to open up a little and I could glimpse the person she was becoming and grew to like her more and more!
The one thing I was a little disappointed with was how large chunks of time were skipped over. It seemed that another book could have been added to the series to allow for a tighter story and to give some of the details that we skipped over. It seemed like those could have been some of the best, juiciest parts of the story!
Overall, though, I loved Duchess. I would definitely recommend the entire series ... and would encourage you to read them in order. Enjoy getting to know these incredible women and seeing how God transforms their lives! [4 stars]
I received a free copy of this book from Summerside Press & Litfuse Publicity in exchange for my fair and honest review.
VicsMediaRoomIrvine, CAAge: 55-65Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5History, Drama, Redemption and RomanceApril 26, 2013VicsMediaRoomIrvine, CAAge: 55-65Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Susan May Warren in her new book "Duchess" Book Three in the Daughters Of Fortune series published by Summerside Press takes us into the life of Rosie Worth.
From the back cover: The golden age of Hollywood is in the business of creating stars. Rosie Worth, now starlet Roxy Price, has found everything she's wanted in the glamour of the silver screen. With adoring fans and a studio-mogul husband, she's finally silenced the voices--and grief--of the past. Her future shines bright...until the fated Black Friday when it all comes crashing down.
When Roxy loses everything, she finds herself disgraced and penniless. Her only hope is to join forces with Belgian duke Rolfe Van Horne, a longtime film investor. But Rolfe is not who he seems, and he has other plans for Roxy and her movies--plans to support a growing unrest in Europe, plans that could break her heart and endanger her life.
When her country needs her, will she have the courage to surrender her glittering world and her one true love?
I like history and "Duchess" is a captivating book rich with historic detail, both American and European history. This time the focus primarily on Rosie and all the hardships and sorrows that she goes through. Rosie is now a Hollywood star with a name change to Roxy. She has abandoned her inheritance and is trying to make her dreams come true on her own and she has the battle scars that got her where she is. However, events conspire against her and her fame and dreams come to an end. Now Rosie has to rebuild her life and this time she needs to let God give her direction. "Duchess" is an emotional ride that will wring you out and then fill you with renewal. God tells us that all things work together for the good and that, in His time, He makes all things beautiful. Want to really know how He does it? Susan May Warren shows us the how in this thrilling finale. "Duchess" is a wonderful, sweet story with power and depth that will keep you flipping pages. I recommend this book highly and, while I am sorry to see this series end, I look forward to the next series from this very talented author.

Clamp chain catcher that works independently of the front mech and can also be used on your cyclo-cross bike.
Top Features of the K-Edge Road Clamp Chain Catcher
- Clamps independently of front derailleur
- Weighs: 24 grams
- Clamp diameters of 31.8mm and 34.9mm
- Also excellent for single ring use on cross bikes
Product Data
About Front Derailleurs
Various derailleur systems were designed and built as far back as the late 1800s. A French bicycle tourist, writer and cycling promoter Paul De Vivie (1853-1930), invented a two speed rear derailleur in 1905 which he used on forays into the Alps, and we wonder if 20 gears are enough. Since then there has been many advancements in the number of gears, materials and reductions in weight. Wiggle lists a large selection of front and rear derailleurs catering for double and triple systems with 7, 8, 9, 10 and even 11 speed cassettes.
About the K-Edge brand
K-Edge Cycling Solutions brand was born from one simple product, Kristin Armstrong's Chain Catcher - later to be called K-Edge Chain Catcher. The K-Edge Chain Catcher is a purposeful design that was engineered for a single goal: help Kristin Armstrong win the Gold at the 2008 Olympic Games. While we wouldn't be so arrogant to suggest the K-Edge was the reason Kristin took gold, it's a common sense design that provides functional and mental advantages for high performance cyclists. The K-Edge is also perfect for anyone who likes to keep their chain in place, improve shifting performance, and protect their frame from damage caused by a derailed chain.

Product Q & A
Ask your questions and share your answers.
Hence the only option is to fit one of these, in close proximity to the front mech band in an area of the tube with (hopefully) standard dia.
How tight should I screw this onto a carbon frame?
I'd recommend the carbon friendly gloop you can get that adds grip and means you don't need to tighten so much. I use it for my seattube too...
Will this work with a 105 triple chainset-ie is it long enough to reach the smallest ring?
how long is the chain catcher i am riding a moda stretto on sram force and there isnt a lot of room to fit this item
hi, will this chain catcher be compatible with 2010 boardman carbon rd bike? the seat tube does flare out a bit at the bottom, many thanks
sizing problem
what size?
Will this work with a Shimano Ultegra Triple crank?

Crowds flock to Commonwealth Towers condo during weekend preview
Published on Apr 14, 2014 7:39 PM
SINGAPORE - A flood of potential buyers prompted Hong Leong Holdings to extend the opening hours for the first-day preview of its new Commonwealth Towers on Sunday.
The developer pushed back the closing time from 8pm to 10pm to accommodate the more than 1,500 people who turned up at the showflat in Margaret Drive. The preview started at 12 noon.
Many of those who attended the preview put their names down to indicate their interest in the development so that marketing agents could follow up with them.
The 99-year leasehold condominium of two 43-storey blocks comprises mostly one- and two-bedders and will be linked to Queenstown MRT station by an overhead pedestrian linkway.

Aquino: Unite now amid threats to PH
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines—President Benigno Aquino III said that now was the time to unite and that the Philippines won't shirk away from the challenge of defending its sovereignty as he called for unity amid sea disputes with China and other Asian neighbors.
"Now is the time to unite our hearts, unite our minds and our voices," Aquino said in Filipino during the celebration of the 115th anniversary of Philippine Independence Wednesday.
"Now is the time for us to move as one nation for the fulfillment of our collective aspirations for the motherland," he said in his speech after quoting a passage from hero Andres Bonifacio about how it took Filipinos three hundred years before they finally united against the Spanish colonizers.
"I know we can do this because we are a race of heroes," he added.
Aquino took a jab at the recent incursions of several foreign shipping vessels, mostly from China, in Philippine waters saying that the country has always respected the territory of others.
"We have no other reason but to protect what is truly ours. We aren't stepping on the rights of others, we don't own or encroach on territory that clearly belongs to others," he said.
"We're not asking for anything else except respect for our territory, human rights in the same way that we respect the territory, rights and humanity of other races," Aquino said.
He also said that the Philippines has never made it a policy to take advantage of other countries so as to maintain the stability of the Asian region.
"It isn't in our history to hurt or make any move that will earn the ire of other countries," he said.
"It was never the Philippines' policy to put one over another country," Aquino said.
The increased budget for the modernization of the Armed Forces of the Philippines was also highlighted by Aquino, saying that the outlay will increase the military's capabilities and raise the soldiers' dignity and morale.
He said P75 billion ($1.74 billion) will be spent in the next five years to modernize the armed forces.
Aquino said "aggression does not run in our veins, but neither will we back down from any challenge."
Aquino led the flag raising ceremony at the Philippine Post Office building in Lawton and laid a wreath at the statue of Bonifacio.
Dr Maria Serena Diokno, head of the National Historical Commission, accompanied Aquino in both events and gave the introduction speech while Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim gave the opening remarks.
Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin, Foreign Affairs secretary Alberto Del Rosario, and Interior Secretary Manuel Roxas II joined the commemoration.
Also in attendance were Armed Forces of the Philippines Chief General Emmanuel Bautista, Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chairman Francis Tolentino and United States Ambassador to the Philippines Harry Thomas Jr. With a report from Associated Press

Tijuana's bloodiest year
U-T special report / Violence in Mexico / Drug feud fuels brutality that has ripped the region
The battle pits Fernando Sánchez Arellano, current head of the Arellano Félix cartel, against one of his former crew leaders, Teodoro Eduardo Garcia Simental.
Officials say the differences were long-simmering, though the final split took place with a confrontation April 26 in eastern Tijuana that left at least 14 dead. Law enforcement officials say that Sánchez had called a meeting to rein in García and his crew members, who were conducting abductions outside their designated zone. But the meeting disintegrated into a gunbattle.
"In the world of drug traffickers, alliances are always very fragile," said Victor Clark, director of the Binational Center for Human Rights in Tijuana who has studied cartels for years. "Ambition, large sums of money, all the different interests around make it an unstable activity in terms of alliances."
The ensuing months were relatively calm; law enforcement officials say that García used the time to cement an alliance with the Arellanos' sworn enemy, the Sinaloa cartel, giving him the resources to take on his former boss. In late September, the killings began in earnest, as groups of bodies with signs of torture began appearing. Victims appeared decapitated, with their tongues cut out, dissolved in acid. "This is what will happen to those that hang out with the filthy Arellano Félix," read a written message left near some corpses.
Though both sides have proved capable of brutality, Mexican law enforcement officials say the most shocking crime scenes bear the signature of Garcia, who is known as "El Teo." Fearful of becoming targets themselves, the officials demand anonymity when discussing specifics.
They say it is no accident that many of the past year's killings took place in eastern Tijuana and rural areas of Rosarito Beach. Those areas are believed to be under Garcéa's control and have less police presence than more central urban areas.
Some businesses linked to organized crime also became targets of the rival group, authorities said. Such assaults may have been meant to harm the business owner, but some of the people killed just happened to be there.
Experts say drug traffickers are not likely to go away as long as demand exists, but the violence can be brought under control. Mexican officials "will be able to develop a system to manage it and reduce it significantly," said Caesar Sereseres, a political scientist at UC Irvine who has studied Latin American drug gangs.
President Calderón, he said, "has really pushed himself, to say that this is a major national security problem for Mexico, and Mexico won't be able to take care of its problems until it addresses the size and power" of trafficking groups.
Gov. Osuna said it is difficult to know how long the violence will continue. He rejected a proposal that the government find a way to make a pact with traffickers.
"And what, we allow them to keep poisoning our youth, to keep operating and demanding payment?" he asked. "We cannot be subjugated or give up, we have to get to the bottom of the issue, and face this great social problem."

Tilapia tank at FarmedHere in Chicago
TRUTH: It's official – vertical farming won't save our food system right now. But it could in the future. This week, the country's largest vertical, aquaponic (soil-free) farm opened in Chicago, IL. The process by which FarmedHere is growing plants (using the excrement of tilapia to create mineral-rich water that is cycled through stacked plant beds) has been used for years at NYC's Food and Finance High School, but it hasn't be done on as large a scale, as FarmedHere has created.
Their goal? Produce 1 million pounds of chemical (including herbicide and pesticide) free leafy greens. They're creating 200 jobs in their newest facility (they already have 2) and their produce will retail at local stores such as Green Grocery (and maybe Trader Joe's).
So what's the total energy and environmental impact? It's not yet the most efficient process. Overall, vertical farming's….
But how much energy can using a few light bulbs use when you have a greenhouse, you ask? A lot. The Economist reports that Thanet Earth, a 90-hectare facility that opened in Kent, Britian in 2008, provides 15% of the British salad crop but requires its own mini-power station to provide 15 hours of light daily during the winter.
BOTTOM LINE: Don't jump off the top of the vertical farm yet. As we find more renewable energy sources, the energy cost of vertical farming can be reduced and we can continue to keep pesticide, herbicide and insecticide use low. For now, vertical farming can be great for in-home, small scale use and great for education in classrooms.

TIPSY-TURVYBy MICHAEL CHEANG
Our columnist samples some whisky from a corner of a field in the Scotch Lowland region.
OF all the whisky regions in Scotland, the Lowlands are probably the most underrated of them all. Most of the more popular single malt whiskies these days come from the Highlands, Speyside or the Islay regions, all of which boast a relatively large number of distilleries.
Over in the Lowlands, however, there are currently only a handful of distilleries still operating – three major ones, to be exact: Auchentoshan, Glenkinchie and Bladnoch.
Of these, Auchentoshan is probably the best known Lowland single malt of them all. Recently, Gordon Dundas, Europe and Asia brand ambassador for Morrison Bowmore Distillers, was in Souled Out Sri Hartamas, Kuala Lumpur, to launch three brands under the company – Bowmore, Glen Garioch and Auchentoshan. During an interview before the event, I got him to shed some light on whiskies from the Lowland region.
Pronounced "awe-khen-tosh-en", Auchentoshan is a Scottish Gaelic word that means "the corner of a field", and according to Dundas, the distillery was built in 1823 in the outskirts of Glasgow, very much in the central, most populated part of Scotland.
"There are very few distilleries in that Lowland region of Scotland. There are only three main distilleries in that region producing single malt bottlings right now, and Auchentoshan is the oldest one," he said, adding that more than 150 years ago, the Lowlands used to produce a vast amount of relatively low-quality whisky.
"There was a huge mass-produced factory element to whisky at that point, and that had a long-term effect in terms of the quality. For many years, single malt didn't do very well, so many distilleries have closed down as well."
Today, however, Dundas emphasised that the quality and consistency of the remaining distilleries, particularly Auchentoshan, is so good and the quality of the casks is so high, that the whiskies they produce now are of the finest quality. There are even a few new distilleries popping up in the Lowlands as well.
The Auchentoshan distillery is the only one in Scotland that is 100% triple distilled – another unique characteristic of traditional Lowland whiskies.
During this process, the spirit passes through three uniquely shaped stills, which allows for more copper contact, and thus a lighter and more delicate end product.
According to him, the Lowland whisky style is usually lighter and more delicate, and the triple distillation process helps to enhance that style. "The reason we do it is because it produces a spirit that, at 81.5% ABV (alcohol base volume), is a higher strength than any other distillery," he explained. "The process takes a lot of the impurities out, and therefore what you see is a very clean nose, freshness in the spirit, and a bit of greenness to it, which is very typical of Lowland whiskies."
The combination of that light delicate spirit plus the quality of the casks the spirit is put in is what makes Auchentoshan unique.
Of course, you can have the best spirit in the world, but if the cask it is matured in is bad, then you're ultimately going to have a bad whisky. Fortunately, Auchentoshen puts just as much thought and care into their casks as they do in their spirit, and the beautifully rich Auchentoshan Three Wood expression is a fine example of this.
"The Three Wood doesn't have an age statement because that is not what this whisky is about. This whisky is about wood. It spends approximately 10 years in a bourbon cask, then we move it into an Oloroso sherry cask for a year, and then finally, we move it into a Pedro Ximenez sherry cask for a year," Dundas explained.
"The result is a whisky with very strong sherry notes – you get the sherry coming through immediately on the nose. Because it's not a marriage but a finish, you get a big impact from the sherry casks. There is a big burst of flavour in the beginning, layered on top of the lighter bourbon flavours, and a wonderful syrupy taste, rich onset of big flavours going down the throat."
The next whisky we tried was the Auchentoshan 18-Year-Old, which added another surprising twist to the story. Matured solely in ex-bourbon casks for 18 years, this was the embodiment of the light, delicate Lowland whiskies I kept hearing about.
Although it is stronger than the Three Wood in terms of alcohol (the 18YO is 43% ABV compared to the Three Wood's 40% ABV), this feels like a much lighter whisky. It has a more complex mouth feel, with a lovely sweet nose lined with the greenness of the triple-distilled spirit; and on the palate, a wonderful vanilla creaminess comes through with sweetness in the front, and a bit of spiciness at the finish.
While Auchentoshan is generally categorised as a "Lowland whisky", Dundas reckons the lines have been blurred when it comes to the different regions, and that these categories serve geographical purposes more than anything else.
"To be frank, when people say Lowland whiskies are light and delicate, they are usually talking about Auchentoshan, or potentially Glenkinchie. Calling us a Lowland distillery these days is really more of a location thing than a description of our style," he said.
"Islay is probably the only region that will have one true characteristic, which is the smokiness. But because of the production of the whisky these days, even if you are a Highland distiller, you can buy peated malt to make a peated version of your whisky. As a whole, the region they are produced in don't define the whiskies themselves anymore," he concluded.
Michael Cheang had trouble pronouncing Auchentoshan at first, but a few drams of the whisky soon solved that problem. E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

GLOUSTER — Burr Oak State Park and Wayne National Forest invite the public to come and celebrate Smokey Bear's 70th birthday on Saturday, Aug. 9, from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. at Burr Oak State Park Beach.
"Since his birth on Aug. 9, 1944, Smokey Bear has been a recognized symbol of conservation and protection of America's forests," said Wayne National Forest Public Affairs Officer Gary C. Chancey. "Wayne National Forest is happy to join Burr Oak State Park in celebrating Smokey Bear's birthday. We look forward to celebrating many more birthdays of our beloved icon."
Families will get an opportunity to get pictures with Smokey Bear and enjoy an up-close look at a fire engine, participate in children's activities, and meet some of Smokey Bear's forest friends. Participants also have a chance to learn more about wildfire prevention.
This event is being held along with many others around the nation by the U.S. Forest Service, the National Association of State Foresters, and the Ad Council.
Smokey Bear's message about wildfire prevention has helped to reduce the number of acres lost annually to wildfires, from about 22 million (1944) to an average of 6.7 million annually today. However, wildfire prevention remains one of the most critical issues affecting our country.
Many Americans believe that lightening starts most wildfires. In fact, nine out of 10 wildfires nationwide are started by humans. Wildfires sparked by humans are most commonly caused by campfires left unattended, trash burning on windy days, careless discarding of smoking materials, BBQ coals, and operating equipment without spark arrestors.
"Our Wildfire Prevention campaign has helped children and adults throughout the country understand their role in preventing wildfires," said Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell. "For 70 years, Smokey Bear has empowered people to make a difference; his message of personal responsibility continues to be as critical and relevant now as ever."
Smokey Bear is the center of the longest-running public service advertising (PSA) campaign in U.S. history. Since 1944, the Ad Council, ad agency FCB West, and the U.S. Forest Service have been helping Smokey communicate his well-known message, "Only You Can Prevent Wildfires."
To help reward and thank those that take steps to help prevent wildfires, Smokey is giving out bear hugs online, using #SmokeyBearHug. He's also directing fans to his website, www.smokeybear.com, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter for more information about wildfire prevention.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Shares of Starbucks (SBUX - Get Report) hit a 52-week high Thursday and is up 31% so far in 2012.
Starbucks has worked to trim costs by closing underperforming stores and limiting the number of new store openings, and it is making an aggressive push into China.
Shares of Starbucks hit a 52-week high on Thursday of $60.44. The stock's 52-week low of $33.72 was set on Aug. 9.
"As it relates to the single-serve arena, the company is unique vs. peers in that it now owns both the content and distribution and we believe SBUX shares will benefit as the company transitions from the 'stealth' way to a clear and obvious way for investors to play the premium single-serve opportunity," Piper Jaffray analysts wrote in an April 3 report. "Looking out to FY16, we would note that our estimates reflect the company's CPG segment contributing approximately 30% of the Starbucks' consolidated

"My goal is to make AuntMinnie.com a highly visible and indispensable online resource for medical imaging professionals," Klause said. "The radiology community will be able to easily find the news, research, and education materials, and information they need at AuntMinnie.com."

Klause held various senior management positions at Technicare Corporation, which developed, manufactured and sold diagnostic imaging instrumentation for nuclear medicine, ultrasound, CT, MR and digital radiography throughout the world. Klause also directed Technicare's international business in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa for a number of years, including her role as Managing Director of Technicare Italia s.r.l. in Rome, Italy.
AuntMinnie.com is intended to be the most comprehensive Internet site for radiologists and professionals in the medical imaging industry. AuntMinnie.com will provide a vertical portal for radiologists, imaging managers, technologists, members of organized medicine, industry, and radiology practices to meet, transact, research, and collaborate on topics within the field of radiology with the ease and speed that only the Internet can provide.

AuntMinnie.com is a wholly owned subsidiary of Lumisys, Inc. (Nasdaq: LUMI), the leading provider of desktop medical imaging appliances.
Lumisys is the world's leading provider of desktop medical imaging appliances, including the ACR-2000 Desktop CR(tm) computed radiography system and the Lumiscan family of X-ray film digitizers.

Lumisys provides OEMs and systems integrators with market-proven hardware and software, making it one of the industry's leading sources for filmless imaging technology. Lumisys has received ISO 9001 certification, the International Standard for Quality Systems. Lumisys is headquartered in Sunnyvale, Calif. Additional information on Lumisys is available at www.lumisys.com.
This news release contains forward-looking statements, including the statements regarding the implementation, functionality and acceptance of the radiology portal. These statements involve risks and uncertainties, including the Company's ability to attract executive talent, strategic partnerships and sponsors, competition from other Internet sites, market acceptance by the radiology community and those risks detailed from time to time in Lumisys' reports filed with the SEC, including the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998 and 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

INDORE: Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani gave the country a new slogan on Tuesday to replace Indira Gandhi's 35-year-old garibi hatao Amiri badhao (enhance prosperity), Ambani said to loud applause from students, educationists, and industrialists at a function to dedicate the Indian Institute of Management, Indore, to the nation.
Ambani spoke extensively of the need to integrate global themes into Indian management education to achieve this goal. He said there is an urgent need to forge a grand partnership between business, education, ethics, politics, and social sciences to increase prosperity.
Union Human Resources Development Minister Arjun Singh, who sparked a row last week by turning down an IIM-Bangalore proposal to set up a campus in Singapore, did not turn up for the function owing to "unavoidable circumstances". In his absence industrialist Baba Kalyani, chairman of IIM-I, presided.
Ambani said the 20th century generated wealth on an unprecedented scale but also created vast economic disparity. "This model is no longer sustainable. The 21st century must combine creation of wealth with eradication of poverty. It is no longer necessary that a large number of people remain poor so that a few may become rich."
While Ambani skirted the row about IIMs going overseas, he appeared to favour the move. "Globalisation means management education must be inclusive of students from overseas and it must incorporate faculty with global exposure," he said. "We could experiment with multiple campuses, distribute campuses through e-learning, and on-site campuses."
Later, Ambani told DNA that Reliance could think of opening its own university or business school on the lines of the Motorola and IBM training institutes in the US.

In a game that had several lead and momentum changes, Chelsea Kuhn had the last say. The senior stepped up with a two RBI triple in the sixth inning, leading the Lady Urchins to a 10-9 win over South Pontotoc on Monday.
Down 8-6 at the beginning of the frame, Alie Haynie and Katie Hunt had back-to-back hits and a sacrifice play by Callie Jo Winters cut the deficit to one. Kuhn's triple cleared the bases, giving East Union the lead, and she later scored on a single by Ashley Leach.
The Lady Urchins led early in the game, going ahead 2-0 off a single and three walks. A pitching change by the Lady Cougars slowed East Union's offense down with South Pontotoc taking the lead, 5-3, in the fourth inning.
East Union tied the game in the fifth, as Rachel Elder brought in two runs after singles by Kuhn and Leach.
Kuhn led East Union with three hits, while Hunt, Leach and Heather Dillard each had two hits, including a triple by Leach in the fourth inning.
East Union will play in the Pontotoc Tournament this weekend and host Mantachie next Monday and Walnut next Thursday.
