Suitable for accommodating 6 persons, the villa "La Roccia" is composed of two bedrooms, one with double bed and one with two single beds, living room with double sofa-bed, equipped kitchen and bathroom. It is located on the ground floor, with furnished outdoor patio and independent entrance. The villa has flat-screen TV and safe. The interior dimension is 65 square meters.
Liscia Resort beaches are five and extend more than 2 km. Some have sand, others are covered with grass. Equipped with beach umbrellas and chairs, they give resort guests the possibility to not only enjoy the wonderful sunset reflected in the lake waters, but also to do picnics along the shore, sunbathe, relax, fish and whatever activity they want to do. The view that can be admired is unique when the lake water level lowers and part of the Church emerges, which was submerged by the lake waters in 1962, when the basin of the lake on Liscia river was completed.
The fitness trail will be ready for July 1st and is composed of 22 stations with different equipments. The first 14 stations are structured with specific equipments, whereas the remaining 8 stations describe the exercises to do. These equipments allow to train every part of your body and to stay in shape, while admiring the dazzling nature of Liscia Resort.
The Lake Liscia is an artificial lake located among the municipalities of Sant'Antonio di Gallura, Luras, Arzachena and Luogosanto. The Lake Liscia is a true fishing paradise, both for enthusiasts and beginners. It is considered by expert fishermen among the best lakes to practice the "bass fishing", there are various competitions in the area. The fishing is practicable from February to December, it's done within flooded cork oak woods and in the countless rock steps. In addition to the black bass, you will find in the lake other types of fishes like the catfish, the eel, the brown trout and the tench.
In order to spend a nice day with the family, the uncontaminated nature that surrounds the Liscia Resort gives the possibility to do wonderful bike rides, through which you can discover an unexplored Sardinia. A picnic by the lake would make the day unforgettable.
A nice way to get away from stress and to stop thinking about the problems affecting us everyday is going for a morning run and arriving at the Lake Liscia shores, among the various itineraries proposed by the Resort.
Wild turtles stroll within the Resort and you will see how many encounters you will have with them during your holiday. The tortoises have a good eyesight: they can distinguish forms, colors and they also recognize people. They have a very precise sense of direction: if they are moved a few hundred meters from the territory, to which they are very close, they will return there shortly. They are very sensitive to ground vibrations, even if they don't have a developed hearing. We invite you to respect the turtles and their natural environment.
The wild boar is active especially in the twilight and night hours, during the day he remains in the brushwood, preferably near humid places. He prefers to live in wooded areas and in the Mediterranean scrub, alternated with fields and pasture lands, for this reason, especially during night hours, it is possible to see various specimens of wild boar wandering within the resort property. The wild boar is a monogastric ungulate, completely omnivorous, even if he prefers acorns, bulbs and tubers of herbaceous plants. He doesn't disdain to frequent forage crops and vineyards, also causing considerable damage to the cultivations.
Sail with us on Lake Liscia, where the green of the flourishing vegetation meets the blue of the placid lake waters. We offer you the unique opportunity in Sardinia to make a boat tour on the Lake Liscia on wonderful Mississippi style boats: safe, comfortable, equipped with suggestive paddle wheels, they can carry comfortably up to 172 passengers and allow to fully enjoy the beauty of the lake landscape. The shaded areas created by the mountains and the rocks that rise to the surface create a really worth watching sight.
One of the best ways to cross and get to know the different aspects of the island landscape, especially the inland, is through a trip with the Green Train. The train crosses a territory rich in vegetation where the railway line, the bridges, the stations and the houses seem to be part of the landscape since forever, perfectly adapted in an environment, sometimes reachable only by rail. The train moves at the right speed, allowing the traveler to observe and discover the landscape and the vegetation, that slowly change while you proceed along the line.
Our kitchen offers different typical specialties of Sardinian tradition, deriving from the best recipes wisely selected but with the addition of a promise: satisfy all of your desires. Each ingredient used during the preparation is bought in the same area with attention to local raw materials, at km 0. The dishes for the children's menu are chosen with scrupulous care, always using high quality products, and the same care will be used for food intolerances. Located at the center of the resort, reachable from the main street, the restaurant "Il Mirto" has more than 100 seats. It's the perfect place to organize every kind of event thanks to the big and quiet inner room, a patio in the front and one in the back equipped with a barbecue area, to enjoy the view on the Lake Liscia. The menu is typical and genuine with a large selection of appetizers, first and second courses. In the restaurant our guests will also find a big Mediterranean breakfast buffet.

So I saw a production of The Pueblo by the HartBeat Ensemble on Saturday evening in Hartford, CT. Though it carried a ticket fee, The Pueblo is a work-in-progress, to be premiered in its final form in February. I can not in good conscience allow this to happen. It is a work that must be stopped at all costs!
Quite simply, frankly, and soberly, The Pueblo is perhaps the worst atrocity to hit the stage since, well, I can't think of anything that compares to it in terms of sheer bad-ness.
The Pueblo, a dual language, multi-cultural play that explores the changing politics of Latin America and how that affects people in North America. Known for such socialist leaders as Chile's Salvador Allende and Cuba's Fidel Castro, Latin America now has a new wave of such socialist leaders as Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, Evo Morales of Bolivia, Michelle Bachelet of Chile, and Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua., who see themselves as "leaders of the Bolivarian Revolution."At once insulting, spine-tingling, vomit-inducing, and suicide-provoking, The Pueblo mixes together what HartBeat calls "experimental" elements such as puppetry, movement, text, and music. If text in the theatre qualifies as an experiment, then this just might be kindergarten science class, in which students do experiments to learn what floats and what sinks (guess which this show does). As experiments go, having puppets on stage is on par with sticking drosophila in a jar with no holes for air and starting a stopwatch.
United States officials have called them "dictators who abuse power and manipulate their citizens." The Latin American leaders have called the Bush administration, "the devil" and "imperialist." Set in a fictional South American country, The Pueblo incorporates these themes at its core.
Lest HartBeat be chastised merely for failing to understand what constitutes experimentation, it should be said that these elements add absolutely nothing positive - indeed, they contributed quite a bit to the total, irreparable heap-of-scrap-masquerading-as-play that was presented. Yes, I am including the text in this claim. The entirety of the play was multilingual - a mix of English and Spanish that can not, respectfully, be called Spanglish. When each sentence is a 50/50 mix of both languages (as in "I want to comer el pollo y el arroz"), with certain phrases repeated in both languages ("I am your president. Soy tu présidente.") might more aptly be called Manglish. I am fairly well-versed in both languages, but the absolute inanity with which the dialogue was constructed rendered much of it completely incomprehensible (particularly that which was speedily, tone-lessly, and far too often rhyme-ish-ly, talk-sung by the guitar-strumming Narrator).
One extreme moment of translation left me with my mouth agape, wishing I could have the last 45 minutes of my life back so I might sit outside staring at a tree and enjoy what was a glorious northeastern summer evening. Read this translated line from a familiar play and tell me if you see anything wrong:
O Romeo, Romeo. Dónde está mi Romeo?In case you don't know a spot of Spanish, "Dónde está" is asking where. Hmm, okay, except Shakespeare would shoot you in the face for misinterpreting "wherefore" so grossly. Wherefore means Why.
Regarding The Pueblo, that, after all, is the question.
Except it's no more of a question than if I had been playing Hamlet in this production. Of course I would choose to end my life. Immediately, and with no reservations. Which brings me to the conclusion of this review - a bit of a request, a plea to the greater greatness of humanity, which is to help me help the world by Stopping The HartBeat Ensemble.
The instructions are simple. Go to this website and take the survey about The Pueblo. Give them some extremely low scores, feel free to copy and paste admonitions from this post in the answer spaces, and if you're feeling awesome (and you should, after all) toss in a link to this post with the words "I saw your show and agree wholeheartedly with this review. Please consider canning this production and ceasing the making of theatrical work forever. In the interest of humanity and in order to come closer to attaining your company's mission of enacting positive social change, please stop. Immediately. Thank you."
That is all. The Pueblo is playing again next weekend if you're masochistic.

Sen. Lara Re-Introduces Health for All Act
Image: Supporters rallying for Sen. Lara's Health For All bill in October.
Senator Ricardo Lara (D-Bell Gardens) today re-introduced the Health for All Act of 2015 which would guarantee all Californians, regardless of their immigration status, access to health care coverage.
"Access to health care is a human rights issue and until everyone is included, our work is unfinished," the senator said in a press release after he introduced the bill.
Health care advocates, many of whom have been working closely with the senator, noted that although California has made "great strides" in enrolling hundreds of thousands of people into health plans thanks to President Obama's landmark 2010 Affordable Care Act (ACA), the law excludes undocumented immigrants. That means millions of state residents still remain without access to health care.
Anthony Wright, executive director of Health Access, a statewide consumer health advocacy coalition, noted that California has been at the forefront of providing health coverage to many immigrant families, but Lara's bill places the state "on the cusp of taking modest additional steps [to] provide coverage for all Californians, regardless of immigration status."
According to the Migration Policy Institute, some 400,000 California youth between the ages of 15 and 31 became eligible for DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) status under President Obama's 2013 executive order. The law provides temporary relief from deportation, gives beneficiaries a work permit and allows them to apply for a driver's license. Another 1.2 million undocumented Californians are likely to gain temporary deferred action under Obama's more recent executive order.
Both groups fall under a category called PRUCOL (Permanent Residents Under Color of Law), and under California law, PRUCOL residents are eligible for state-funded Medi-Cal.
A spokesman at Lara's office said that the language of today's bill is yet to be written. That won't happen until Lara negotiates with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.
Lara's earlier Health For All bill (SB 1005) introduced earlier this year included state-funded subsidies. It stalled in the Senate Appropriations Committee a few months ago because it did not have a clear funding mechanism. The bill would have created a further expansion of Medi-Cal (the state's name for Medicaid, the health insurance program for low-income people) and created a state-funded health insurance exchange that mirrored the federally subsidized exchange created by the ACA.
Even though the bill stalled, the senator continued promoting it at every opportunity, never allowing it to lose momentum.
A few months ago, Lara floated a funding mechanism: fees on driver's licenses for those who are undocumented, as well as new fees on remittances – money that people send to their home countries.
Thanks to the 400,000 DACA beneficiaries and those expected to benefit from President Obama's announcement of two weeks ago, the number of undocumented residents in California will be fewer now than it was even a year ago, said a spokesman from Lara's office.
Even so, until he has a more precise number of those who will continue to remain uninsured, Lara will not be able to put a price tag on his new bill, the spokesman said.

Housing Finance in Zambia
Zambia has a growing housing finance sector. As the mortgage market does not yet meet the breadth of the population who might afford a mortgage, most households still finance their housing independently, with savings or non-mortgage credit.
The lowest recorded interest rate on a mortgage in Zambia is 27 percent, as of September 2016 and requires at least a 20 percent down payment. There are currently 1300 mortgages in the country, with the average mortgage size being US$ 4 000. The cheapest newly built house by a developer recorded by CAHF is US$ 65 000, which is for a 90 square metre unit. Cement prices are lower than the continental average, at US$ 5.3 for a 50-kilogram bag.
With an urbanisation rate of 4.13 percent, demand for affordable housing will remain strong, both for rental and purchase. Housing microfinance will play an important role in increasing the supply of housing, and efforts to increase access should be undertaken. The existing housing stock in Zambia is estimated to be 2.5 million units, of which 64 percent is rural and 36 percent is urban housing. About 40 percent of the urban stock is good quality housing; 28.5 percent are detached single unit houses. With a good macroeconomic environment, sound policy, better data and increased access to affordable credit, an enabled housing market can increasingly provide housing that the average household in Zambia can afford.

Zambia is a lower-middle income country and the second largest copper producer in Africa. Zambia's real GDP growth rate is 3.4 percent compared to about seven percent per annum during the past decade due to falling copper prices, reduced power generation, lack of economic diversification, and depreciation of the Kwacha. Zambia is a highly unequal country, with a GINI co-efficient of 0.69 in July 2016. Sixty percent of the population lives below the poverty line (average GNI is about US$1 801.89) and unemployment sits at 9.2 percent. The annual inflation by July 2016 was 21.8 percent, up from 7.1 percent in June 2015 and 8 percent in August 2014.
Zambia's population, estimated at 15.5 million in 2015, is very young and still quite rural. Just under half the population (46.2 percent) is under the age of 14 and only 2.4 percent are older than 65. The population is projected to increase to 24.9 million in 2030 and 44.2 million in 2050 while the urban population will grow to 12.0 million by 2030, and 25.8 million by 2050, clearly indicating the need for a focused urban housing strategy.
Access to Finance
According to Finscope (2015) the Government's national target of 50 percent financial inclusion has been exceeded. In 2015, 59.3 percent (4.8m) of adults were financially included up from 37.3 percent (1.5m) in 2009. About 24.8 percent (2m) adults used bank services; 28.5 percent (2.3m) used non-bank formal services. About 6.5 percent of adults (0.4 million) belonged to Savings Groups while 12.5 percent (1.0 million) were members of ROSCAS (or Chilimbas). At least 1.5 percent of adults (100 000) belonged to Savings Groups and Chilimbas. Barriers to financial inclusion include an economy in which over 50 percent of sales are still cash based, weak market competition, and inadequate financial depth.
The banking sector is well-regulated with 19 licensed commercial banks, 15 of which are subsidiaries of foreign banks, four are locally owned private banks, and two are partly owned by the Government. Bank lending for housing mainly targets individuals or institutions in the formal sector. In July 2016 the BOZ Policy Rate was 15.5 percent, down from 18.5 percent in 2015, but up from 12.5 percent in 2014 and 9.75 percent in 2013. The average commercial bank lending increased to 26.47 in 2016, up from 20.5 percent in 2015; it has been above 20 percent for at least the past three years. For non-banking financial institutions the maximum interest rate charged is still calculated at 1.6 on the BOZ policy rate, while for MFIs it is 2.3 times the BOZ policy rate.
Mortgage financing still remains the main source of formal housing finance. The Zambia National Building Society (ZNBS) commands about two-thirds of the mortgage market share. The ZNBS reported a total mortgage loan portfolio of K181 million (US$19 million) in mid-2016, an increase from K112 million (US$15 million) held in 2014. A total of K67 million (US$7 million) of home mortgages was made in 2015-16 of which 10 percent was mortgage refinance. In 2014, Government recapitalised the ZNBS with K167 million (US$18 million) which increased access to mortgages by about 63.2 percent from 1 238 in December 2013 to 3 363 by December 2014. The total number of home mortgages outstanding decreased from 2 000 in 2015 to 1300 in 2016. The Pan African Building Society (PABS), Finance Building Society (FBS), First National Bank (FNB), Stanbic Bank, Madison and Meanwood Finance Companies and Royal Money Lender of Zambia are key mortgage lenders. The total mortgage loan portfolio of all Building Societies in December 2015 was K550 million (US$59 million) compared to K1 493 million (US$53 million) in July 2014 and K298.7 million (US$32 million) in 2013. The total deposits amounted to K395 million (US$42 million).
Long term demand for mortgages has continued to be recorded in Lusaka, the Copperbelt and North Western regions. Mortgage finance is expensive with interest rates ranging between 22.5 and 27.5 percent. Access to wholesale finance, high Bank of Zambia (BOZ) Policy Rates and short maturities on available funds, absence of reinsurance firms, inadequate matched funding for long term credit, potential loss due to high default rates, high transaction costs of more than five percent of total loan amount and deposit requirements of 10 to 20 percent and relatively short loan repayment terms from two to 15 years are main constraints.
In 2016 the microfinance sector comprised just over 45 MFIs up from 35 MFI in 2014 and 25 licensed MFIs in 2013. The BoZ requires a MFI to have least 80 percent of its total loan portfolio serving MSMEs, less than 20 percent of the total loan portfolio serving individuals in formal employment and an average loan size per borrower not exceeding K2500 (US$269) making most MFIs non-bank financial institutions. Most MFIs are payroll based consumer lenders, accounting for 92 percent of total MFIs assets; four are microenterprise lenders while six are deposit-taking financial institutions in terms of the 2006 Banking and Financial Services Act.
The BoZ minimum policy interest rate caps for MFIs range between 47 to 50 percent which has further pushed MFI interest rates to 52 percent and above. The Policy caps have led to many MFIs streamlining their operations, closing marginal branches with high operating costs or decreasing loan sizes and group lending, in an effort to make lending more cost effective. The high default rates compelled the Bankers Association of Zambia (BAZ) to establish the first credit bureau in 2006 and the BoZ to make it mandatory for all financial service providers to go through the Credit Reference Bureau (CRB). In 2012, TransUnion purchased the CRB which to date remains the sole credit bureau in Zambia.
Some MFIs offer housing loan products in the range of K2 000 to K350 000 (about US$215 to US$37 600) with maximum loan terms of 60 months at an interest ranging between 51 and 53 percent annually. Lafarge, a building materials company, provides loans of up to K2 500 (US$269) to its clients in partnership with BancABC and ZNBS. In 2014 Lafarge donated 1 008 bags of cement and free technical (home) designs to Habitat for Humanity Zambia to build 2 150 houses.
Pension-backed lending is permissible by Zambian law, though the huge reserve of pension funds (in excess of K4 380 billion or US$470 million), has not been fully exploited for housing. NAPSA has invested in a new Housing Estate in Kalulushi on the Copperbelt, though the units remain largely unoccupied, possibly due to their high cost, starting at K400 000 (US$42 965). NAPSA has been soliciting land from councils to deliver affordable houses. Private developers like Lilayi Estates often draw on pension funds to enable pensioners to purchase housing but the packages are unaffordable. Public service workers are able to obtain salary-tied loans for home improvements.
Informal finance administered mainly by ROSCAs or 'chilimba' is commonly used for small loans and home construction or purchase. The Peoples' Process on Housing and Poverty in Zambia (PPHZ)'s Swalisano Urban Poor Fund allow members to access low-interest loans. People in statutory and improvement areas can borrow using sub-leases and land records and Occupancy Licenses respectively though Councils are reluctant to allow use of their head-leases collateral.
Housing Affordability
In Zambia, households spend 40 to 50 percent of their monthly income on rentals. Low income households in urban areas can purchase a house costing between K61 300 and K100 000 (US$6 584 – US$10 741) while small scale farmers in rural areas can afford a house costing K24 900 (US$2 675). Developers targeting young professionals are building in the range of US$60 000 and US$100 000. The construction cost of a 2-3 bedroom high cost house is US$80 000 and US$150 000 with monthly rentals of US$800 to US$1 000 while a 2-3 bedroom middle-income house cost from US$65 000 to US$100 000 with monthly rentals of US$350 and US$500. In 2016, the cheapest newly built 2 bedroom 65m2 house by a formal developer cost about K227 500 (US$24 382 but more affordable housing options are delivered by other means. Construction costs for an NGO funded houses range from K8 000 (US$859) for one room, K12 000 (US$1 289) for two rooms, and K153 200 (US$16 455) for three rooms while a low income council house costs around US$1 000 and US$1 500 with monthly rentals of US$100 to US$150.
Housing Supply
Zambia's existing housing stock is estimated to be 2.5 million units of which 64 percent is rural and 36 percent is urban housing. About 40 percent of the urban stock is good quality housing; 28.5 percent are detached single unit houses. About 60 percent is substandard, informal housing, of which 20 percent is traditional, while 21.5 percent is improved, traditional huts. About 32 percent of the dwellings in rural areas are traditional housing. The urban housing backlog is estimated at 1 539 000 units, that is expected to reach over 3.3 million by 2030 nationally. The national annual production rate of about 73 000 units per annum falls far below the national requirement with the Copperbelt, North Western and Lusaka Provinces and the 33 newly created districts facing the most critical housing shortage. Supply constraints exist across the market, even at the top end.
The main housing suppliers have been the mining houses, local authorities, and government. By law, housing was supplied as part of an employment contract but following the liberalisation reforms of the 1990s, this link was broken and each household became responsible for its own housing. Many who could not afford homeownership or pay market rentals moved into low income areas and informal settlements. Most current housing supply is self-build for mainly for rent or owner-occupation, and may take up to seven years to complete.
The NHA's delivery track record has not met national expectations: between 1971 and 2002 it built or upgraded only 13 938 dwellings; and since 1994 it has produced less than 100 units per annum. Other state agencies like NAPSA, Zambia State Insurance Corporation (ZSIC) and Workmen's Compensation Fund have built units for rent in major towns. However, due to the high cost of completed units many have remained unoccupied. Both the NHA and NAPSA plan to rent them out, sale or initiate rent-to-own schemes. It is not clear how the NHA's or other state agency efforts in housing will be funded, however, as the housing budget is small and declining as a proportion of the budget overall. Government allocated K469million (US$50 million) or 0.9 percent of the 2016 budget to housing and community amenities – a significant decrease on the 2015 budget which saw K799million (US$86 million) or 1.7 percent directed at housing.
Private developers like Meanwood, Lilayi Estates, Silverest Gardens, Nkwashi, Roma, Vorna Valley, Salama Park have emerged, but their contribution to housing supply is less than 5 000 completed units per annum focusing more on the high end of the housing market. Developers like Smart Homes Africa, have plans to build two to four-bedroom units and student housing in the US$40 000 to US$80 000 range.
NGOs like Habitat for Humanity, Zambia Homeless and Poor People's Federation (ZHPPF), People's Process on Housing and Poverty in Zambia (PPHPZ), Shelter for All and the UK-based Homeless International help to fill the affordable housing supply gap. HfHZ secures land from Local Authorities and then provided micro loans of between K40 000 – 45 000 (US$4 300 – 4 833). The PPHPZ through its Swalisano Fund, a form of ROSCA, has continued to support the poor to build core houses and complete units in various towns of Zambia. The ZHPPF has mobilised more than 50 000 urban poor families to secure land in 42 municipalities and signed a MOU with the NHA to commit land to federation members.
Housing supply is constrained by various factors including lengthy environmental approvals for new housing developments; an inefficient land delivery system; high cost of provision of infrastructure and services and legislated planning standards (now under review) particularly existing large residential plots which range between 30x45m (or 1 350m2 for high cost areas); 18x30m or 540m2 for medium cost areas) and 12×24 or 288m2 for low cost areas. Large plot sizes have a constraining effect on efforts to reduce the projected three million housing deficit by 2030.
Property Markets
At the top end, Zambia boasts a vibrant and growing residential property market; and its rental housing market has registered a threefold increase since 2014. The shortage of quality housing at the higher end of the market is driving several developments of modern cluster-style and gated communities. Resale housing stock is limited, especially given that 70 percent of Zambia's total housing stock is classified as informal. Lower income groups have challenges obtaining affordable housing as there is little formal development.
Land for property development is owned by the state but administered mainly by local authorities and traditional leaders. Private developers and individuals are able to obtain 99 year leasehold with no limitations and land is transferable. In Zambia it takes on average 45 days to go through the five procedures involved in registering a property in 2015. The cost of the registration process is about 13.6 percent of the property's value. In 2015 Zambia was ranked 111th out of 189 countries but dropped to 97 of 189 in the 2016 Doing Business Report
Housing Policy and Regulations
The 1996 National Housing Policy (NHP) commits government to spend 15 percent of the national budget on housing. This is clearly unrealistic: in 2016, only 0.9 percent of the national budget was dedicated to housing. The 1996 NHP is also out-dated prompting Government to formulate a new housing policy whose main goal is to facilitate reforms to the housing finance system, increase government financing of housing and developing public social housing estate funds and group housing improvement finance schemes. Other measures include improving affordability of mortgages by providing mortgage guarantee schemes, fiscal incentives to private financial institutions and introducing mortgage specific policy rates. By mid-2016 the new policy was still in draft state.
Significant challenges remain in reforming legislation around collateral and credit recovery. The slow land delivery system is a major constraint on private sector finance. The on going review of the Lands Act of 1995; approval of the Land and National Urban Policy, enactment of the Urban and Regional Planning Act (2015) and the Urban and Regional Planners Act (2014) will provide an enabling environment for housing delivery. The URP Act recognises informality creating potential for housing microfinance by providing collateral. Only 40 percent of the population hold formal title as collateral for loans. A K6 billion (US$644 million) land audit programme is expected to improve title registration enhancing access to housing finance.
Housing Sector Opportunities
The period leading to the 2016 General Elections and Referendum on the Bill of Rights has negatively impacted on national economic performance and created uncertainties in the housing market. Zambia, however, still retains a large untapped residential property market especially for affordable housing. Government has created 33 new districts which require new housing while the huge informal housing stock can be upgraded to decent and acceptable standards thereby increasing both their quality and market value. The microfinance sector has good potential for growth while housing microfinance could benefit from specialised institutions away from traditional MFIs. There is huge potential to increase financial inclusion among the majority poor as well as use of existing accounts for loans and mortgages.

Romford teen to star in documentary about singer Prince's life
PUBLISHED: 13:06 18 October 2016 | UPDATED: 13:06 18 October 2016
Jane Willoughby
After starring in dozens of commercials, working as a model and with 45 music video appearances under his belt, a 14-year-old has now turned his attention to television.
Baxter Willoughby, of Romford, has just finished filming a new documentary about legendary musician Prince, acting as the singer in his teenage years.
"I was very happy when I was told that I was given the part", he said.
"My mum and dad do like his music as well so wanted to do it justice."
His part in the Channel 5 programme Autopsy is Baxter's first speaking role, telling the story of the singer's life story up until his untimely death at the age of 57.
In the documentary, Baxter plays the role of the young Prince, showing the star's early love for music and his strained relationship with his dad.
He said: "I had to have an American accent and learn to play a bit of piano for the role.
"My dad already knew how to play Chopsticks so he taught me that.
"Prince had a difficult relationship with his dad when he was young so had to film some emotional scenes and had to cry in one of them."
From featuring in rapper Tinchey Stryder and Jess Glynne's video of Not Letting Go to appearing as an extra in horror movie The Conjuring 2, Baxter is moving full steam ahead in making a name for himself.
The teenager will be travelling abroad for the first time this week as well with fellow pupils at Bower Park Academy who are going to New York as a trip for the performing arts department.
The pupils will be going to see a production of Aladdin on Broadway.
Jane, Baxter's mum, said: "We are very proud of him for what he has achieved.
"We always say it is a hobby as he does love sport and does boxing as well but he's still enjoying it and that's the main thing."
Autopsy: Prince will be aired in April 2017.

- Wedding: July 2017
I just got married this past weekend and I am thrilled to have gotten married to my best friend. But I am really pretty angry at my family and friends now that it is all done and I dont know where to put that anger. I dont want to soil anyone elses views of the wedding including my husband so I have kept my mouth shut. So to explain, leading up to the wedding only 20% of my wedding guests sent back their RSVPs I had to track down most of them. We had about 15 people who were close family and friends out of only 80 people either not show or cancel within a week of the wedding so I wasted about $800 dollars because the caterer of course wanted their money before the day of (as they should)! THEN only 40% of my wedding guests even arrived on time to the ceremony and half of them left right after the cake cutting. So it is really hard not to feel like most of my guests came to drink and eat and then leave. And I will say that I did not expect even 100s of dollars but only 2 wedding guests out of the 90 or so that were invited outside of the wedding party even gave gifts! No cards, no monetary gifts, nothing. I didn't really expect them to but when I reflect on everything it kind of just adds to it, I would have MUCH rathered everyone have been there for the ceremony than to have gotten gifts… And I rather the wedding party had not even given us gifts because they had already spent so much money and time making our wedding special. I am trying not to let it bother me but it does especially considering this was a smaller affair. I feel cheated and hurt.

Snowbound with Her Christmas Bear
Talina Perkins
Release Date: November 29, 2016
No strings attached holiday vacation sex was just what the doctored ordered. While visiting over the holidays, no one prepared med student Sabine Kennedy for Christmas in Alaska. Mesmerized by endless miles of pristine snow, she's downright enchanted by the dark-haired homegrown men decorating the vast snowy landscape of Claw Ridge. Especially one Tyrone "Rone" Wylde. Nothing got a Southern girl's heart racing faster than an amber-eyed man with a voice that could strip panties off in a Christmas blizzard. He's 100% werebear and she's 200% willing to try new adventures as long as it's purely physical.
Naked and challenged to the local winter tradition of the Rum Run within ten minutes of touching down, Sabine has two choices—freeze or get moving. Heat of the mating season was long over, but the second his brother's sister-in-law rolls up with a feisty attitude and enough sass to melt the polar icecaps, Rone is hit with the fever to claim. As the owner of the only bar and bakery in town, Rone also needed all the help he could get. It is a win-win in his book.
When a hidden force strikes out, the fun holiday times are over as the past tears away more than the spirit of Christmas. Dragons, black magick, and murder taint the deeply traditional town so many hold dear. Sabine is forced to face her fears head on and if Rone can't find a way to chip away at her tough façade to find the soft heart he knows she guards, he'll lose her forever.
Born and raised in Mayberry USA, this small town country girl spread her wings at the young age of fourteen and moved to Mexico where she's lived for the past eighteen years. High on adventure and loving life, Talina now resides in sunny Puerto Vallarta with her four children and is married to a U.S. Recon Marine-her very own smokin' hot hero.
By day she works as a cover artist and by night she spins her creativeness into intricate webs of words.

Bear for Christmas
Amy Lamont
Release Date: December 13, 2016
Shy and introverted Ivy Quinn has psychic abilities she's only beginning to understand. Sheltered by her father most of her life, she never questioned his use of her skills to further his business interests. But when she finally realizes exactly how he wants to exploit her abilities, she has no choice but to run.
Out from under her father's thumb, Ivy's self-confidence grows along with her psychic gifts. She uses them to stay one step ahead of everyone her father sends to hunt her—everyone except the sexy bear shifter who is relentless in his pursuit. But now that she knows the truth about her father's plans, the last thing she wants to do is go home for the holidays. No matter how hot the werebear tracking her might be, she's determined to evade him. Even if the rugged shifter is making her wish for something she can never have.
Bounty hunter Cole Jackson is a legendary predator, even among werebears. His talents make him the perfect choice to head up the bond enforcement division of Ursus Security Solutions. But when Ivy's file lands on his desk, he takes one look at her and thinks Christmas just came early. She might just be the fugitive he wants to capture and keep for himself. Can Cole keep Ivy safe and help all her Christmas wishes come true?
Amy lives in New York with her husband, twin daughters, and two rescue mutts. She loves chatting with readers.

Emergence: A Primer
Alongside the exciting discoveries being made about the smallest parts of the universe in quantum mechanics there has also been the development of complexity theory, which deals not with the parts but with the whole that those parts make. What has become more and more aparent is that a purely mechanistic description of many complex systems (both articificial and naturally occuring) observed is not adequate. Put another way, the whole is more than the sum of its parts. So the most common examples of this are the patterns that form on sand when driven by the wind or the patterns that form on computer generated displays of thousands of lights flashing at random. In a purely mechanistic universe these pattern should not occur (at least not a often as they do). The whole appears to have an effect on the parts.
Emergence is a related idea. In a purely mechanistic universe all cause and effect flows from the bottom up. So if you can fully understand the laws of physics then you should be able to predict the laws of chemistry, and if you can understand chemistry then you should be able to predict the laws of biology. Why? because chemicals are constituted of physical components, and biological matter is constituted of chemicals. In (mechanistic) theory all biology should be reducible to physics. . . except it's not.
What seems to be the case is that at greater levels of complexity (e.g. atoms forming molecules, or chemicals forming protein chains) new properties are added whch could never be predicted from the component parts. This has led some to suggest that when new levels of complexity are reached new information is actually added to the universe. Rather than the parts dictating what the whole will be, the complexity of the whole emerges as something more than the sum of the parts. This suggests a cause and effect that works from the top-down rather than the mechanistic botttom-up.
The reason some theologians find this very exciting is that the top-down cause and effect suggest a force at work in the universe that is external to the observable laws of physics, and some have not been shy to suggest that this force could be the Spirit of God at work in the ongoing process of creating and sustaining the universe. Personally, the jury is still out, but it is very interesting stuff.

Let me know what you think, :-)

I am not sure that everyone who considers emergence important would agree that it implies "a force at work in the universe that is external to the observable laws of physics." The "more" that is there at higher levels of organization is not necessarily an "additional something or substance." Nevertheless I agree that it is an important concept with intriguing possibilities for theology!ReplyDelete
Thanks James, good point. Although, I did say "some theologians" rather than "everyone who considers it important"! I had only encountered emergence in discussion of pneumatology, but now you make me think about it, anthropology and cosmology would be obvious areas where it might also have important application. I wonder if there might even be mileage in relating it to a theology of scripture? hmmmm . . .ReplyDelete
Nope, none the wiser. ;-)ReplyDelete
Jonathan, linked here via James Mac's blog. I was drawn by the "Kiaora".ReplyDelete
Scott McKnight had a series of posts on Philip Clayton's thinking recently too. Worth a read if you hadn't seen them already.
I'm currently reading Simon Conway Morris' "Life's Solution", which has some cross-over ideas.
Ka Kite!

Inevitably, all of us go through the growing older process. Some people do not show the signs of growing older as much as others. Heed theses time-tested remedies for staying young and healthy.
Healthy interpersonal relationships are important for aging well. Being involved in your community has been shown to help people have a healthier and longer life span. Build the bonds of intimacy with the people closest to you, and have someone you can really talk to. Your social connections are very important as you age.
Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of taking Resveratrol. Resveratrol mimics the natural processes related to calorie restriction diets. Resveratrol gives you many of the same benefits and is found in many foods, like nuts and grapes. Resveratrol can be found in some supplements and in Japanese knotweed. It can also be found in the roots of Senna quinquangulata, a South American shrub.
Encourage your mind to stay active through learning. Keep your mind sharp so the phrase "older and wiser" really means something! Take a class at your community college or do some puzzles, they will keep your mind active.
Focus on the quality of your life and stop worrying about statistics. Doctors are paid good money to bother about numbers such as age, weight, and height. The moment you start focusing on these three things is the moment that you will start obsessing over them and missing out on the fun parts of life that are aimed at keeping you feeling young.
Ensure that your sleeping habits are in sync with the amount of sleep you need, based upon your age. A night's sleep of 7 to 9 hours is crucial to maintaining your hormones, so that you can wake up feeling refreshed. You will find yourself less irritable and more engaged in life if you indulge in an adequate amount of sleep every night.
Be a positive presence! When you make someone's day better, you automatically make yourself feel better as well. Being happy does not cost a thing, it is a priceless gift to others.
Adding special, personal touches to the place you live will make it homier. Perhaps this residence is not a long-term one, not the house you once owned and expected to stay in. If so, it is important to do the little things that will make your new place feel like it is where you belong. If you have downsized into a smaller living space, be sure to decorate it in a way that makes it your own.
Strong friendships are great for your emotional health and provide energy and vitality. You will never be too old to find new friends. Get out there and meet new people and develop friendships that will help you live a long, wonderful life.
Getting enough sleep every night is one of the most important anti-aging steps you can take. You want to sleep around 8 hours per night. Health problems, from depression to heart disease, can be triggered by too little sleep.
As the years pass, your home becomes more of a place of refuge and security. Make your home your own space so that you feel comfortable there after a very hard day. Your cozy home will be awaiting you at the end of each day.
Try to get enough water. You can become dehydrated more quickly when you age, you should get enough water.
After you have retired you will have time to pick up those dear hobbies that you had to leave behind. Activities that may have been set aside and neglected for many years can suddenly become enjoyable again once you have more free time. Hobbies are a great way to fill your life with happiness and joy.
As people age, it is not uncommon to gain weight. When you have a lower total weight, you have a lower chance of problems like strokes, heart disease, and some forms of cancer. Maintain a healthy weight by making beneficial food choices and participating in a daily exercise program.
Quit smoking if you want remain attractive. Smoking can increase the amount of wrinkles on your skin and will thin your lips, which will make you look less attractive. Smoking also speeds up aging because it shortens your lifespan.
Hold on to all of your medical paperwork. This will allow you to have a complete medical history whenever you see a new doctor.
Now that you've read this article, you know what you need to do to stave off the effects of old age. Best of luck to you and stay young!

A backscratcher (occasionally known as a scratch-back) is a tool used, as the name would suggest, for relieving areas that cannot easily be reached just by one's own hands, typically the back.
They are generally long, slender, rod-shaped, tools good for scratching one's back, with a knob on one end for holding and a rake-like device, sometimes in the form of a human hand, on the other end to perform the actual scratching. Many others are shaped like horse hooves, claws, or are retractable, to reach further down the back. Though a backscratcher could feasibly be fashioned from most materials, most modern backscratchers are made of plastic, though examples can be found made of wood, whalebone, tortoiseshell, horn, cane, bamboo, ivory, baleen and in some cases in history; narwhal tusks, due to the increased social hierarchy that generally accompanied relieving itches with a supposed unicorn horn.
Backscratchers vary in length between 12 and 24 ins. (30–60 cm.). In ancient history, the length was often symbolic of an oriental male crafter's prayer to the Chinese goddess Chuang-Mu for an enlarged genital size.
The first backscratchers, although observed to derive from many other origins such as ancient China as Chinese farmers occasionally used backscratchers as a tool to check livestock for fleas and ticks. However, in recent history it was unquestionably also employed as a kind of rake to keep in order the huge "heads" of powdered hair worn by ladies in the 18th and 19th centuries.
In the past, backscratchers were often highly decorated, and hung from the waist as accessories, with the more elaborate examples being silver-mounted, or in rare instances with an ivory carved hand with rings on its fingers. The scratching hand was sometimes replaced by a rake or a bird's talon. Generally, the hand could represent either a left or right hand, but the Chinese variety usually bore a right hand.
Although not specifically used for only back scratching, young Chiricahua men in training and women going through a puberty ritual traditionally had to use a ceremonial wooden scratcher made from a fruit bearing tree instead of scratching with their fingernails or hands. Young men who did not use the scratcher for scratching were reported to develop skin that was too soft.

PhD student
University of Southampton
Favourite Thing:
Coding. I love making programs. It makes computer do things I want it to. The challenge is great too, think about what you want it to do, which bits need to do what in what order, and any problems just make the feeling when you get it working even better. (Drinking tea is also a big thing in science – a lot can be achieved with a cup of tea next to you)
Me and my work
The aurora is formed by an interaction between wind from the sun and a big magnetic field around the Earth, I'm looking at and trying to model whats going on.
My Typical Day
Tea. Some reading. Some coding. Start a simulation. Tea break. Pull hair out because simulation broke while on tea break. Some more reading. Some sort of sport.
What I'd do with the money
Take a bath in £5 notes.

Can never decide this one. Huge range, from Taylor Swift to random french stuff
What's your favourite food?
Curry. Hotter the better. (and custard creams with a cuppa)
What is the most fun thing you've done?
Flying a plane was really fun – I did lots of aerobatics that scared me a lot but were really fun. The best is called a 'Stall turn', you fly straight up until the plane stalls(engine stops) and then you turn and fall back towards the ground, eventually the engine starts again(you hope!)
What did you want to be after you left school?
I've never been sure. I was never fussed about having loads of money, I just wanted to enjoy what I was doing and be comfortable.
Were you ever in trouble at school?
Early on I didn't try hard enough, but then I realised that if i needed to do well I had to put the effort in, so I buckled down.
What was your favourite subject at school?
Maths / Science / PE
What's the best thing you've done as a scientist?
What or who inspired you to become a scientist?
I want to know everything!
If you weren't a scientist, what would you be?
I still have dreams of being a professional football player, somewhere in league 1 or 2.
If you had 3 wishes for yourself what would they be? - be honest!
1. See previous. 2. Ability to fly. 3. Speak any language.
Tell us a joke.
Knock Knock. 'Who is there?' 'The postman'. 'Oh one second, I will just let you in'. *Unlocks the door*. 'Here is your parcel' 'Thanks' 'Goodbye' 'Bye, thanks again'

PokerStars' latest SCOOP festival continued last night and while a selection of players were bagging potential life changing scores, it was one of the site's pro players that was capturing the attention of the rail.
Argentina's Nacho Barbero has represented PokerStars like a true professional for a number of years but last night he found the pressure of variance a little too much to handle in the final of Event #5 (Medium).Having made his way past more than 300 players in the $215 Badugi event, Barbero found himself heads-up with Germany's 'kuhns89' for the title. Despite seemingly outplaying his opponent he was unable to catch a slice of luck and in an outburst probably not appreciated by his employers he typed in the chat box, "How can I destroy you and lose? Is so rigged."'kuhns89' replied with a simple 'cmon' before raking in the last of his opponent's chips, the $12,129 top prize and his first SCOOP title. Away from Barbero's outburst, more than 24 tournaments have taken place including the $700 Heads-Up event which attracted 765 runners last night. Amongst the players making it into the money but falling just short of the title was Chris Moneymaker (24th - $4,609) and Toby Lewis (18th - $4,609), Niall Farrell (16th - $8,800) and Annette Obrestad ($16,350).However, when the betting was over it was Portugal's 'RuiNF' who took the title and $78,469 after beating 'superkid-bam' in his final match.
Online poker players looking to get more bang for their buck are being advised to check out Intertops Poker and Juicy Stakes this weekend as the sites will be offering a matching reload bonus worth up to $100.
Juicy Stakes and Intertops Poker will tomorrow launch a three-step satellite online poker tournament series that is set to award one player with a prize package into the main event at the upcoming St Maarten stop of the World Series Of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) Caribbean.
Juicy Stakes and Intertops Poker have announced that the winners of their recent three-stage online poker satellite tournament series have left for Austria in order to compete in the 2017 edition of the European Poker Championship.
Friday will see Juicy Stakes and Intertops Poker kick off their special Aussie Tournament Series guaranteeing at least $5,000 in cash prizes via six events.

And here I am with my right leg - which was left with some "souvenirs" in the form of ugly blue veins after my DVT last spring - wrapped in gauze and a thick tensor bandage after sclerotherapy injections!! I sure picked the right week for that treatment, let me tell you!!
Thank goodness the bandage only needs to stay on for twenty-hours; and in the meantime, I was actually quite comfortable in these light-as-air palazzo pants (on sale at American Eagle Outfitters!) and equally breezy eyelet crop top I found at H&M. With my anxiety over those vein injections and my worry about our sick fur-baby, I've definitely needed to distract myself with a few new purchases recently!!
My doctor's appointment wasn't as bad as I'd feared; our ferret Wolfie, though, hasn't yet showed any signs of recovery. I can't believe I need to ask this again...but please keep your fingers crossed for him!!
