Alien VS Predator
The mystery.
the year is 2089 and we have learned of other species that are very deadly and wish to understand them and control them.
Deep in Science facility 3648-LB7 on the "Ring of Five" on a Island Dr.Garthen and Mr.wayland work on a new breed of xeno for tests on what it does.
"Is it ready Dr.Garthen." said Mr.wayland "Almost Mr.wayland." said Dr.Garthen "good let me know when the Alien is in its adult state, then we will do test's on it doctor." said Mr. wayland "ok sir will do." said Dr.Garthen
3 days later
"Mr.wayland Dr.Garthen has requested you in the lab." said Capt. reas "ok thank you Commander." said Mr.wayland "so how is it." Mr.wayland "fine sir we have found a new type. "said dr garthen as Mr. wayland chuckles "oh really and what does this one do spit fire scream?"said Mr. wayland "no sir this one spits acid at its prey unlike most where it just simply kills it will harvest it for a new born any way we have found out the range of the spit is 7 meters. "said dr garthen "Yeah ok make sure it does not get loose oh and where did I come from what was its face hugger attached to a snake?" "well sir this is the strange part we found it in a crashed ship 25 clicks west from here however the ship is not human it has cloaking and has very advanced tech that we don't understand sir so we don't know right now." "We will find out keep up the tests for this one. "said Mr. wayland "got it yes sir. "said dr garthen
7 hours later in the research lab of the xeno with dr garthen lab assistant lance
"hay doctor." in a fearful voice said lance "what is it lance "said dr garthen "well um don't mean to bring bad news but where is the spitter." "what um wait uh get me security in here now." "yes sir. what is the problem doctor." "the xenomorph in there is not well in there it is gone." "ok um may I have a look inside." "uh sure I guess." "ok well I don't see anything can I get a flashlight or something." "uh yeah uh here you go." "thanks." "ok now where are you buddy."

"commander get your men and hunt down this spitter I want it caught alive you hear me." "yes sir alright men move." 1 day later "This is Karl Bishop Wayland in Science facility 3648-LB7 there is a new breed of xeno that we found it can spit acid 7 meters away but the strange thing is what it has the ability to like pop a face hugger about its back and the face hugger will get something and make a spitter xeno if you attempt to come here be armed and ready o god what is that no a FACEHUGGER AAGGG."
17 hrs after recorded message was sent

"yes doc."(Tom) "ok well do we know where the xeno its self came from." "no they said they found in this advanced crashed cloaked ship so I don't know all I do know is that we need to kill them."

" So that means that this thing is a Carrier for a Xenomorph?" "Well yes and no in the text it says "Abomination" so I don't know what that is or means" "wait it said it has the xeno right?" "yes" "so where is the xeno?" (as the predators body begins to move) "wait is it still alive?" "I don't know I think it is wait, look at its chest!" (as the xenomorph forces its way out) "LOOK" "WHOA" "CONNOR GET OVER HERE AND KILL THIS THING" "YES SIR" "NNNNNOOOOO" (as Kellie jumps on top of Connor and letting the strange xenomorph get away) "KELLIE WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? THAT NEEDED TO BE KILLED WE DONT KNOW WHAT KIND IT IS" "GET OFF OF ME" "Oh right sorry Connor I tripped" "No you didn't you jumped on top of me" "same thing" "tie her to the tree and don't let her loose unless I say" "yes sir"

"no it's just someone with your rank knows what they are doing and you have no expertise it's weird" "ha-ha I will take that as a complement" "ok sir" "so are we ever going to track this thing or just let it go and kill us later?" "I don't know we don't have any info on what it is or what it can do so it's hard to say Jackson" "ok sir" alright we are going to leave this place for now so everybody on the ship MOVE" "SIR YES SIR" "and Connor untie her" "right away sir" "ok close the ship doors" (as the xenomorph slips onto the ship) ok lets go back to command" "on it sir" (4hrs later) ok lets go tell the major" 12 minutes later "Sir Rookie Orion would to see you" "ok send him in" "hello major we found something "different" "like what rookie" "well sir we found a Predator that had a Xenomorph in it an..."

The Hunt.
As the team got onto the ship and flew away the hope they never see that "thing" again
"Sir we are 3 miles away from the place you can stop now" said Connor " oh ha-ha right" said rookie "so what do we do now" said Kellie "shut it Kellie" Said Jackson "ok well lets land" said rookie thinking this would be a bad idea "ok everybody set up base camp here until we can find some other contacts to bring us some where safely" said rookie with nothing else in mind but staying away from the large xenomorph 30 minutes later "ok sir we are set up and ready to go" Said Connor "ok do we have ANY sentries that could be put up" said rookie "yes we have 6" "ok make a hexagon perimeter" "yes sir hay Jackson come help me put up the turrets" he said "coming" said Jackson "sir can i speak with you for a minute" "uh sure Kellie" "Well sir that xeno we saw back at base is very different in many ways as said in the last log of the Yautja" "oh i know i am not going to like the sound of this" " we'll look" agaj'ya (This realm) gahn'tha-cte-bhu'ja (has Ruthless Souls) m-di h'chak-m-di h'dlak (no mercy no fear) ki'sei (i agree) bpi-de ( my end is near) kiande (hard enough) ooman (to know humans will find my body) dha-viath (disaster will start) kv'var ( the hunt will begin) u'darahje (when the Abomination is born) dhi'ki-de (The Long Sleep Starts now (Death) "well now i wish we had killed that xeno" said Jackson "sorry sir" said Kellie "it's fine but never do that again" said rookie "yes sir" "so are we going to hunt this thing or just let it go and kill us all?" "well Connor i don't know i mean this thing i huge and very strong" "right but i mean cant we just shoot it or something i mean like you know" said Connor "i don't know back at the base when the marines where shooting i didn't see the thing bleed" said rookie "Well this sucks" said Jackson "yeah but i am sure we will find a way to kill it somehow" said rookie "well we have to find some way to kill it or it will kill us" said Connor "yeah hay does it say of the Yautja logs about how to kill it? said rookie "no sadly" said Kellie "ok well then what we just trap it and then like burn it or something?" said Connor "ok can we at least make a plan?" said Connor "ok well here is what we need to do ok so we know that it like to kill things so we need to set up some bait ok so Jackson and Kellie go kill whatever you can find ,birds, chipmunks, deer, bear, boar, hog, pig whatever you find" said rookie "what should i do sir" said Connor "you are to help me make the net ok so find anything that you can tie or make into a net ok EVERBODY MOVE OUT" said rookie "SIR YES SIR" 3hrs later "ok sir we have everything Kellie got 3 deer and one boar Jackson got 2 bear 7 chipmunks and 1 deer and i found some vines for the net" said Connor "ok goo..."

"SHUT UP JACKSON THERE IT'S coming this way get ready 3 2 1...KILL IT!!" said rookie "So is it done over?" has the beast let out one last roar of its dyeing breath "no i think this is just the beginning of a new war" said rookie "WAIT you here that?" said Kellie "Here what?" said Connor "OH CRAP LOOK AROUND" said Jackson xeno's came after hearing the predaliens finial roar the new this was a new war on them and the rest of humanity.

The''''' War
"OPEN FIRE SHOOT EVERY WHERE GET BACK TO THE DROP SHIP" said rookie "SIR YES SIR" said everyone "KELLIE GET US OUT OF HERE" said Jackson "ON IT" as they flew away they never noticed that a face hugger was onboard the ship "Connor go in the back room and get the Smart gun" said rookie "yes sir" said Connor after Connor was in the back room and everybody else was busy talking they heard a loud Thumb in the back room "What did he drop the gun" said Jackson "come on Connor stop screwing around and get the gun" said rookie "oh my god" said Jackson walking to the back room "OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT WE HAVE A XENO ON THE SHIP" said Jackson not knowing what to do "WHAT KELLIE KEEP FLYING" said rookie "yes sir" said Kellie "Oh my god that's what is that Jackson go get Kellie you take over ok don't stop flying and don't hit anything" "ok sir" "OH MY GOD" said Kellie when she had seen the face hugger on Connors face "What is it" said rookie "it's a face hugger" "what does it do" said rookie full of fear "What it does is it like paralyzes it's host and then puts any embryo in its chest then dies and after that the baby alien bursts out and kills the person and then grows to be a full sized xeno" "oh my god is there anything we can do like can we get it off or something" said rookie "no" said Kellie " the only thing we can do is kill him and stop the xeno from being born" said Kellie "if that is what must be done then so be it once you kill drop it out of the ship""ok sir" said Kellie "Jackson fly us to the USS Reaper" said Rookie "yes sir" said Jackson 2 hrs later "This is USS Combat-0034 Requesting permission to land" said Jackson "This is the USS Reaper please proceed to docking bay 0X-Alpha" said the Comlink "ok thank you, hay sir if it's ok with you i am going to stay here and do some work on the ship before our next trip" said Jackson "ok but do not let anyone onboard you got it" said Kellie "Ok lets go" said Rookie "so where are we going to go" asked Kellie "Well first we are going to go to see the Commanding officer of this ship and tell him what happened to us and what we saw then we are going to see if we could go to some other plant and stay there for a while, The only reason i want to do that is so i can see new thing plus i was assigned there anyway so i have to check up with that and make sure everything is fine and there is no xeno attacks of any type." said rookie 12 mins later "Sir two Soldiers wish to see you they said they know something about all the xeno attacks" said the marine guarding the door to the Generals office "ok send them in" said the General "Hello General Garthen" said Rookie "Hello Orion and Kellie" said Gen. Garthen "so you said that you know about some of the stuff that has happened to the Science facility 3648-LB7 that is on an island out near the "Ring of five" on mars yes?" asked the Gen. "yes sir we do first we found the last recording of Karl Bishop Wayland then we found this ancient writing of a Yautja in a crashed ship also they found a new type of xeno they call it a spitter and it spits acid at its prey and that the Yautja had a baby xeno in it and was very different later we killed it and we had to flea because after we killed it, it let out a very load roar and made hundreds of xeno's come to our position so we fled and came here to talk to you about also we found these in the logs of the dead Yautja ship" said Rookie Cetanu (The Black Hunter (God of Death) ) dtai'k-dte sa-de nav'g-kon dtain'aun bpide/Nau'gkon dtain'aun bpi-de (The fight that begun would not end until the end) tyioe-ti jehdin (this Individual escape pod) Yeyinde (carried the Brave one) u'sl-kwe (for final rest) z'skvy-de (Birth of Xenomorph from host) nan-de than-gaun (No mercy) u'darahje (For the Abomination) mar'cte (killer) thin-de le'hsaun 'aloun'myin-de s' bpi-de gka-de hou-depaya (Learn the gift of all sights or finish the dance of the fallen gods)

One Ugly '''''Mother'''''...
"Ok lets go back to the ship and get ready to go and see the plant Xron and its horrors that await us There" said rookie "yes sir" said Kellie 12 mins later "Ok Jackson lets go to Xron and see what is there for us" said rookie "ok sir" 3 hrs later "ok set down here i am going to ask around see if we can get some Clarity on what's down here" said rookie As rookie walked in the forest on his edge waiting for something to happened he stops and looks up to see what looks like a distorted area in a tree "hmm are my eyes messing with me or what?" ask rookie then it went away and leaves fell "hmm it was nothen" rookie said as he got to a small town he asked around and talked to the Sharman to see what was going on After they talked the Sharman began to tell what he had seen "..It uses the sky and wraps itself in it and hides from us with such sharp Hands it pierces our Flesh and fly's on an in invisible lift in such high places and shoots Blue balls of fire like a Dragon" said the Sharman "thank you" said rookie hoping that he had lost his mind and that none of that was true, then he hears some people screaming and runs over to see what had happened only to see to that 3 bodies had been skinned at where hanging from a tree Dripping blood like a water fall "Oh my god, Well nice to see that he didn't lose his mind but sadly he was right about this hhmm i should ask Kellie if she knows anything about the Yautja since she knew so much about it before" said rookie as he looked around he saw a distorted area in a tree again so he took the chance and raised his gun and before he could fire the blue ball of fire came out like lighting and the Sharman had pushed Rookie out of the way letting himself get Engulfed from the flames and then Rookie began to shoot everywhere hoping to hit it "NNNNOOOOO" before he knew it all of the people where gathering his body parts and putting them in a pile getting ready to burn them "I have to get back to Kellie and Jackson be for it is too late to get there." has he ran back he could see the Distorted area moving from point to point then he stopped "COME ON DO IT SHOOT ME SHOW YOUR SELF I KNOW YOU ARE THERE I CAN SEE YOU MOVEING COME ON IS THIS ALL YOU GOT" then he took his gun and began to spray and prey that he hit it and did not get by the blue ball of fire "COME ON" with no response he began to walk back to the ship 15 mins later "HAY KELLIE YOU HERE?"Shouted rookie "YEAH IM BACK HERE BEHIND THE SHIP" she yelled back "ok listen i came in contact with a live Yautja ok it is Invisible and can shoot balls of fire and jumps high and is fast" said rookie not even believe what he said himself "Oh my god ok the blue fir is not fire it is called a plasma Caster that shoot very highly concerted beams of energy into a ball then fires them at somebody and it has wrist blades that it uses in combat ad yes it does jump far and high" said Kellie "ok so how do we kill it?" asked Rookie "I don't know it's so hard to track" said Kellie "ok well what do we do then i mean should i stay here and take inventory on what we have for killing this thing?" asked Jackson "yeah you stay here and Kellie you come with me so we could hunt this thing down" said Rookie "ok" said Kellie as they walked in the forest they found a Blood trail "Sir look at this, it's a blood trial" said Kellie "ok good lets fallow it and find this think so we can kill it and be on our way to some other plant" said rookie "wait what, what planet are we going to go to after this?" said Kellie not truly wanting to know "we are going to go to Runna I was told that after we left i got a message on my V6-X form the Gen. and we have to go there because there is somehow a queen making a hive so we have to kill it after we kill this thing so let's go" said rookie "uh ok yeah sure whatever" said Kellie wishing she had never asked half hr later "ok so what is this some kind of cave?" asked Rookie fallowing the blood trial "i guess so but not any formation i have ever seen before" said Kellie very confused as they walked in the cave they so the Yautja ripping skulls out of human and animal bodies "ok SSHHH we don't want any attention from the beast so move quietly so we can get behind it and shot it in the head" said Rookie "ok lets go" said Kellie just then Kellie stepped on a twig that broke and made a sound make the Yautja turn around show its face "OH CRAP" then a plasma cast shot went flying at her and took her arm off "NNNOOOO KELLIE" then Rookie shot the beast in the arm and the legs causing it to fall "YOU MONSTER YOU KILLED HER YOU KILLED EVERYONE NOW YOU GET TO DIE YOU UGLY MOTHER" said Rookie being cut off hear the sound of Kellies voice in pain "KELLIE?" said rookie rushing over leaving the Yautja on the ground alive "yeah but my arm is gone and the heat of the blast sealed of the wound so i didn't bleed out ok i am going to go back to Jackson at the ship so he can help me out" said Kellie still in allot of pain "ok i am going to take care of this thing once and for all" said Rookie as he asked back over to see the Yautja laying there about to put a bullet in its head it said something "Reeedd thus a teach of my way HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" said the Yautja as rookie put a bullet in its brain "what is this hm i should give this to Kellie so she can take a look at it and see what it says" just then he heard a ticking noise and saw on its wrist something that like it was counting down "AAGG A BOMB RRRUUUUUNNNNN" after he got out the cave exploded with a large boom and began traveling back to the ship "is she going to be ok Jackson?" said rookie in a frightful voice "yeah you see when the thing shot her she just move out the way enough to keep the rest of her body and survive also with the heat of the shot it closed the wound as it opened it allowing her to live, so what's that in your hand?" said Jackson "ok that good and this is what the Yautja gave me just has i was about to pull the trigger it said learn the ways or something i don't know but i need Kellie to be awake so she can decrypt it and see what is on it" said rookie "ok well i will let her know as soon has she is awake" said Jackson "ok thank you" said rookie

"ok well this is going to be a long story sir ok Don't say anything till i am down talking ok sir, anyway what is happening is an Alien war is going on and these aliens have things ok the main one is the warrior it does not have eyes or a nose or ears it uses sonar to see and hear also it has a mouth with a small mouth in side of it witch it will bite and kill its prey with and a long tail where it will stab and lift you up and sharp claws to rip into your flesh also they have a queen that lays eggs inside of theses eggs are what we call facehuggers and what they do is they have 8 legs and a long tail and they run and jump on anything that is part of their species and plants an egg in there chest then dies and falls off the hosts face the egg that was in the hosts body will hatch and eat its way through the hosts chest and kill them then run always and wait till they grow and enter adult hood in like a couple of hours now one of the facehuggers had gotten on to this other species all the Yautja a very tough being they do all of like the tribal stuff and collect trophies by killing they prey they have two wrist blades on each hand a plasma caster that shoots balls of energy and will go throw anything in its path also a spear and a disc that will allow its target kill it and then come back and the Yautja war and the alien war has been going on for thousands of years and we got in the middle of it and are now part of it as well now a facehuggers had got on an Yautja and when the alien baby was born it was very different however i is a mix of the both no allies of either side and all it does is kill and eat and destroy so we, well my team anyway had killed it however what we didn't know is that we were being followed by a since team and when they found the things body they took it and cloned it and now they have many of them also when i was on Xron i heard them taken and i had came in and there was this commander i forgot the name but he had sent the cloning process to his ship somewhere i don't know where and they are making the army of them and we must stop them be for things get out of hand sir" said Orion
"I think i have heard enough i am going to issue a red alert for the military, air force, Navy and the army to go with you to stop whatever this is so we will have no danger" said Mr.President "also my friend before she died in the crash of Xron she was holding the artifacts of the Yautja we found please look at it Cetanu (The Black Hunter (God of Death) ) dtai'k-dte sa-de nav'g-kon dtain'aun bpide/Nau'gkon dtain'aun bpi-de (The fight that begun would not end until the end) tyioe-ti jehdin (this Individual escape pod) Yeyinde (carried the Brave one) u'sl-kwe (for final rest) z'skvy-de (Birth of Xenomorph from host) nan-de than-gaun (No mercy) u'darahje (For the Abomination) mar'cte (killer) thin-de le'hsaun 'aloun'myin-de s' bpi-de gka-de hou-depaya (Learn the gift of all sights or finish the dance of the fallen gods)

The Search
"Ok, ok Lets go Everybody to the ships come on, come on that means you and you sir" said a general leading all sorts of troops onto the big ships. as Orion was walking he saw how many Soldiers will join him in this war to help kill a huge threat As Orion was walking up the steps to see the president and a whole bunch of high rank people he stopped and thought about what he was doing and if it is the right thing putting everyone else life in danger over his concern of the war and if he should bother but yet he still walked up the step and talked to the people then walked back down and go his ship ready for flight as all the ship where in pace just fallow each other Orion came on over the master speaker "attention all ships attention all ships this is Field Marshal Orion Rucks and i will be commanding you to take action and to help me defeat this large threat now i have an idea of how to find this station he is in the Runon Cluster in the Mafga Galaxy orbiting around one of the 3 plants Forzon, Jahnu or Kaylo now when awe find him i am pretty sure there is going to be a space battle and a space station inside battle and maybe even a ground battle on the plant So let's go there now we should arrive there in about 5 days" said Orion getting off of the master speaker Just as Orion got of the load speaker a person in a white lab coat began to talk to him "excuse me sir if you're not doing anything important if i could please have a word with you" said the guy in the white lab coat "yeah sure what's up" said Orion "ok my name is Professor Derk Kull and Do you remember when you went inside of that lab a few weeks ago and you had killed the spitter xeno well i was do some research and that xeno could not have come from the Yautja as we call it the Predator anyway we believe that in the vessel the predator was in was carrying some sort of pet like a Snake dog like creature and that the face hugger had been on that not the Predator and you said that there was a chunk missing from the data you find fright maybe that will tell us what it came from" said Derk "yeah more then likely but i don't think you can crack the records however i will give it to you if you would like to try" said Orion as he told him where to go to get the log data "ok thank you sir i will be back as soon as i can to see if i can get it" said Derk "ok see you later" said Orion "ok let's see what you have here you like block thingy anyway ok and here we go ok let's see what you got

A charity is taking calls from children as young as just FIVE about self-harm, it says.
Self-harming is prevalent among teenage girls, but there are now fears it also affects younger children.
Figures from ChildLine also show a rise in the number of 10 to 14-year-old girls who self-harm.
Ann Pulling, ChildLine's manager for Wales, said: "The majority of those who ring us are aged between 13 and 17, but we've had some as young as five – siblings or parents may make contact with us.
"It's not just girls – there's a rise of 30% in the number of boys."
Chris Leaman of charity YoungMinds said the problem had reached "almost epidemic" proportions in some parts of the UK.
The Public Health Wales Observatory has also reported that hospital admissions for 10 to 14-year-old girls doubled between 2009 and 2011.
The reasons behind it are complex but can be linked to bullying, abuse and problems at home or school.
Recent research from King's College London suggested children bullied in their early years are up to three times more likely to self-harm when they reach adolescence.
It found that half of 12-year-olds who harm were frequently bullied.
Ms Pulling said the issue was made worse by technology. She said: "With social media, bullying doesn't stop at the school gate any more."
But she added it was "quite a step" for children to turn to self-harm.
However, Dr Ann John, of Public Health Wales, said a long-term study in Australia offered hope.
She said: "It showed there is a peak among girls in their mid to late teens.
"As they went into adulthood, about 90% would not continue."

Kafka & Typography
For many, including myself, "The Trees" is about typography, and, in its first sentence, Kafka lets letters speak directly to the reader themselves: "we are like tree trunks in the snow."

Royal Caribbean says that it decided to return to Labadee because its extensive security investigations, as well as an independent international security firm, assure them that travel there is safe. Three of the line's Voyager-class ships will resume weekly calls to Labadee as of next week. The Voyager of the Seas returns on May 24, the Mariner of the Seas on May 25, and the Navigator of the Seas, on May 27.

|Social Change Through Music: Supporting Arts Education Through El Sistema USA
|Leung, Edward
|Katz, Stanley
|Woodrow Wilson School
|Class Year:
|In America, there is a movement towards defunding arts education, because many people do not see any practical value in the arts. Research has shown otherwise; there is a strong theoretical basis supporting music's positive benefits on the intellectual, social, and personal development of children. Arts education is also valuable because they foster subjective, nevertheless important, qualities like aesthetic awareness, creativity, and self-expression. Music education has persisted in America despite the lack of funding and resources, but this has led to a decline of the quality of arts education. Venezuela has proposed an innovative solution: El Sistema. An intensive, after-school music program, El Sistema rests on the philosophy that music serves as a vehicle for social change. El Sistema was a solution to the dangerous streets of Venezuela; it was an opportunity for youth to chart a life of success through music, instead of a life of poverty and gang violence. Since its founding in 1975, El Sistema has affected over two million children in Venezuela, and has inspired over one thousand similar programs around the world. The model of El Sistema was implemented in the United States in 2000, and since 2014, has reached over 28,000 students in over 100 programs nationwide. What is the relationship between El Sistema USA and sustaining arts education? I argue that implementing the principles of El Sistema in the United States has two significant benefits: first, El Sistema USA is a distinctive model of supporting the arts, because of the resources that are introduced from additional partnerships and funding sources. Second, the success record of El Sistema provides the reasons for preserving arts education, which will hopefully help to counteract the current culture of defunding the arts. My research is primarily qualitative. I research the theoretical support for arts education, from scientific and philosophical standpoints. I also research the elements that define a successful music education partnership. When researching El Sistema, I explore the logistics of the programs and any evaluations that were made regarding the programs' effectiveness and performance. I examine a case study in the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra's El Sistema-inspired program, CHAMPS, and I conducted an interview with Joanna Borowski, the Manager of Education & Community Engagement at the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, in order to put my research of CHAMPS in the grander perspective of El Sistema USA programs and related research. The principles that govern El Sistema are frequency, accessibility, ensemble, connectivity, and social change through musical excellence. Theoretical research shows that music education has beneficial effects on cognitive skills and social development of children. Arts education also has several purposes: fostering creativity, teaching technique as a means to a larger goal, providing ways of understanding the world, providing ways for community engagement, presenting venues for self-expression, and helping students develop as individuals. I apply these theoretical evidence to empirical studies on global examples of El Sistema, as well as five El Sistema USA sites: YOLA, OrchKids, Harmony Program, Conservatory Lab Charter School, and NJSO CHAMPS. I ultimately argue that music education is crucial towards the development of a civil society.

Winning Well – How To Manage For Lasting Results Without Losing Your Soul
Pressured to get results fast, many managers move from crises to crises, stressing out their teams along the way. Leading like that may work in short-term, but eventually, drains creativity, incents apathy, and degrades trust. It becomes more and more difficult to rally the team the next time. It doesn't have to be that way.
In this high-energy, interactive keynote, I share our Winning Well Model of leadership proven to get results that last. You will learn highly practical tools and techniques to achieve lasting results and create more high-energy committed culture.

Do you have a tough conversation you need to have, but are avoiding at all costs?

Judiths Wild Rush simply the best
ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Regardless of how he does in Sunday's $125,000 Kennedy Road Stakes, Judiths Wild Rush has probably already locked up the Sovereign Award for Canadian champion sprinter, an honor he won last year.
Judiths Wild Rush was competitive in several American graded stakes this year, which has given him the upper hand on Woodbine's other leading sprinters, who have taken turns beating each other.
Judiths Wild Rush was third in the Grade 3 Deputy Minister Handicap at Gulfstream, and perhaps the highlight of his campaign was a runner-up placing in the Grade 2 Vanderbilt Breeders' Cup Handicap at Saratoga. He won two local stakes in April, the Jacques Cartier and the Grade 3 Vigil, both with a Beyer Figure of 105.
Last time out in the Grade 3 Phoenix BC Stakes at Keeneland, Judiths Wild Rush was impeded in the stretch while trying to make some headway, and finished a fading seventh. Trainer Reade Baker said the race is a throw-out.
"I didn't think he was going to win it, but I thought he was going to be close," Baker said. "He got slaughtered at the eighth pole. A horse drove into the side of us and stopped us in our tracks."
Baker said Judiths Wild Rush came out of the Phoenix body sore.
"He got jarred up, and we gave him a little break," Baker said. "He's doing well now. He's had two five-eighths works in a minute and change. He hasn't run on Woodbine's Poly, so we'll see what happens. If it was on the dirt, I'd be extremely confident, but on the Poly, I don't know."
Main Executive, who won the New Providence Stakes in May, figures to shake loose on the lead under Todd Kabel. He went into a slump after being declared a non-starter because of a problem at the gate in the Aug. 6 Shepperton Stakes, but rebounded with a victory in the allowance prep for the Kennedy Road.
"He won [the prep] very impressively," said trainer Radlie Loney. "He had three tough races before, all going seven-eighths, and he struggled during the last part. He had that little incident at the gate, and the first two times I ran him back, he hesitated a bit before going into the gate. Last time, he walked in like his old self. He left the gate wanting to run, and just kept running. I thought he ran one of his best races."
Gangster, a fast-closing second in the prep, is also in the eight-horse field.
Sunday's card also features the $125,000 Glorious Song, a seven-furlong race for 2-year-old fillies.

His name was Oliver and he was sexy as fuck. I was just 30 and he swore he was 28. I believed him not because it wasn't true, although he looked younger, but I just wanted him to be near my age. He had a beautiful body with hair in all the right places but not excessively and a cock to die for, uncut and a nice six inches when at rest but it grew to eight plus if he fancied you - and I was lucky that way.
I'd called on him to welcome him to the block of flats I lived in. He was very hospitable and I fucked him on his living room floor. Unlike many first fucks this was a memorable one, but he hadn't cum for I wanted him to fuck me but as he felt the floor was too hard and as his flat wasn't really furnished properly, he suggested we go to my place where we could continue getting to know each other in my Ultra king-sized bed.
When I made to put on some clothes, Oliver asked what the fuck I was doing.
"What d'you mean? You wanted to go to my flat?"
"We're going there to fuck. Aren't we?"
"I want to fuck you without having to unwrap you first, besides it will be fun to find out if we can get there without anyone seeing us."
"And what happens if we do run into people?"
"We smile nicely, say "good evening" and walk past."
"And they wont notice that we are sporting massive cock-stands?"
"They are English! They wouldn't dream of making a comment. If we affect not to notice, so will they."
"You're fucking mad but I want you, so let's go." I kissed him.
Together and bollock naked we left his flat hand in hand and headed towards mine,
Although we were both tanned we each had a tell-tale pale area where we had been discretely screened from the sun. I thought we were going to get away with it till we were just past the lift area when two senior residents suddenly appeared and were, I suspect, heading for the ground floor. As Oliver had suggested we walked past them, smiled and wished them good evening. Once round the next corner, like naughty children, we giggled and ran the rest of the way just getting inside my flat with the door closed, when a voice somewhere called out something, which we chose to ignore.
We hugged and kissed and with the adrenalin flowing through our bodies I could feel his heartbeat against my chest as I am sure he felt mine. I led him to my bedroom, pushed him down on to the bed, fell on top of him and we made out. Eventually he pushed me off and rolled on top of me.
"Now I will fuck you." He said, "Can I do it raw like you did me?"
"I know it's madness, but OK. Fill me full of your little boys."
He lifted my legs onto his shoulders, as I had with him earlier.
"It is my favourite position; I like to watch my man enjoying my love-making."
He raised me up further and I felt his stubble on my ass-cheeks then he found my asshole and tongued me. It was amazing. It had been so long and I opened to his sweet, urgent probing. Then he stretched my hole with his fingers and from deep in my gut came a physical yearning to be filled by this beautiful man. He had found lube in the bedside drawer and smoothed some over his long lovely manhood then slowly rested it against my pucker and I relaxed and felt him slowly enter. It had been a long time, but OMG I so wanted it. He entered me gently for I was tight but together and with the lightest of pressure from each of us, he found his full depth and I could feel him all the way. He kissed me and played with a nipple. I had forgotten how magically electric the joint pain and pleasure could be. He started withdrawal and reinsertion slightly at first but then taking firmer and longer strokes across my prostate. My own cock stiffened up between us, he teased its head with his stomach.
As he increased his power, I felt his balls beat against me, my own crawled up between us and I knew I was going to cum again soon. His cock seemed to reach further and further into me. I felt it swell and then ripple and pulse as he shot his ropes of sperm up inside me. He fucked on and on, he seemed to cum for ever and I felt it trickling back down my chute. He plunged deep and then stopped right up inside me. I came all over our two bellies. I opened my eyes and he was looking down at me. He smiled and so did I.
"Wow! When you cum, you cum." I murmured.
"I aim to satisfy," he said as he kissed me. He rubbed his chin across my lips, I moaned and he moved down sucked on one tit giving me a hickey. "There I've marked you. That is to tell anyone who gets your clothes off that if they try anything they will have me to answer to."
I felt his cock soften and slide out of me followed by some of his semen though I clenched my sphincter in an attempt to prevent any further loss.
"You do realise that you have no clothes here and when you return to your flat you will have to go as naked as you left it?"
"Possibly, but as I don't intend to leave you for quite a long time, the question is academic. In the meantime may I call upon your kind hospitality and get me a drink?"
I did exactly that.

So did anyone's eyebrows raise perhaps just a little when Hikefune threw a rice ball at Ichigo and told him to eat it if he got angry? And then he was like "Yeah, if I get pissed during the fight, I'll go hide and munch on this grub". What's that about? I tell ya, if I don't see the glorious return of a Vasto Lorde Ichigo with a dual wielded Zangetsu bankai while he cuts Juha in half because of some measley rice ball, I'm gonna trow a baby out of a window (not seriously, just an expression, take it easy lol).
