Although primary responsibility for financing a college education must be assumed by the student, the College subscribes to the theory that no student should be denied the opportunity of acquiring an education because of financial barriers. Through diverse grant, scholarship, and work programs, Bevill State Community College has been able to offer educational opportunities to individuals who cannot, through their own resources, afford a postsecondary education.
General eligibility for most financial assistance programs requires that a student:
- Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident;
- Be enrolled as a regular student in an eligible program;
- Demonstrate financial need;
- Have no default on any federal loan nor owe a repayment on a Pell Grant, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, or any federal grant at any institution;
- Maintain satisfactory academic progress.
- Have a high school diploma or GED.
Application for Financial Assistance
Financial assistance for students may be in the form of scholarships, grants, employment, or a combination of any of these programs. Financial assistance is awarded annually; therefore, each student must apply each year. It is the student's responsibility to secure the necessary applications, complete them as directed, and submit them to the designated place at the appropriate time. Students who wish to be considered for need-based financial aid must complete the U.S. Department of Education's Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students are encouraged to apply as soon as possible after October 1 for the following academic year. All financial assistance applications may be obtained from the Office of Student Services or online at www.bscc.edu.
Federal Pell Grant
The Pell Grant Program serves as a foundation of financial assistance to which aid from other federal and non-federal sources may be added. To determine eligibility, students must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students may apply online at https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/fafsa.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
A limited number of Pell Grant recipients with the greatest financial need are given priority for the FSEOG program. Students do not need to complete any additional application for FSEOG. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) serves as the application.
Return of Title IV Funds
Bevill State is required to return unearned Federal grant funds to the U.S. Department of Education on the student's behalf if they completely withdraw prior to the 60% point of the semester. When this occurs, the student will owe a repayment of the unearned Federal grant funds to the College.
Complete withdrawal is defined as the date the student submits a completed schedule change form (dropping all classes) to the Office of Student Services or instructional site. In those cases when a student unofficially withdraws (stops attending without completing the withdrawal process), the withdrawal date is the mid-point (50%) of the term.
Repayment is defined as the unearned grant money the student must return to the College. The amount of repayment will be based on a formula prescribed by law that considers the date of withdrawal and the amount of federal grant funds (excluding work-study) received. Students who owe a repayment to the College will not be allowed to register for subsequent terms until outstanding charges are paid.
Federal Work-Study Program (FWS)
Eligible work-study students are paid minimum wage as mandated by the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act for part-time employment on campus. Students work in a variety of offices and departments with their work schedules built around their academic schedules.
Alabama Student Assistance Program (ASAP)
Funds are awarded to eligible Alabama residents who demonstrate need and who are enrolled in at least 6 credit hours. Students must be eligible for Federal Pell Grant. There is no special application for these funds and the funds are very limited for this program.
Institutional Scholarship Program
Bevill State offers numerous scholarships including academic, leadership/service, foundation/need-based, athletics and performing arts. For more information contact the Office of Student Services.
Private/Alternative Loans
Bevill State does not participate in the Federal Student Loan program. Students may wish to pursue a private/alternative loan option. Alternative Loans are private loans made through lending institutions based on the student's level of creditworthiness as determined by the lender. The student's level of creditworthiness affects the loan terms and if a co-signer is required. The college is not able to recommend, promote or endorse any specific loan products or lenders. Students should discuss all aid options before enrolling in any student loan program and should only borrow conservatively. Students should decide upon a lender that best meets his or her needs. Private/alternative loans will be certified upon the request from the lender and the student. The loan amount may not exceed the student's Cost of Attendance. Students must complete a Private Loan Request Form. Students must be enrolled for a minimum of 6 credit hours to be eligible. Tuition and fees must be paid before the remaining loan balance will be disbursed. The balance will not be disbursed until the 14th day of class and is dependent upon student attendance.
VA Benefits
Bevill State Community College is fully approved by the Veterans' Administration to offer training to veterans. Veterans or veterans' dependents planning to attend college should make application directly to the Veterans' Administration and acquire prior approval before entering college.
For students receiving VA education benefits, any complaint against the school should be routed through the VA GI Bill Feedback System by going to the following link: http://www.benefits.va.gov/GIBILL/Feedback.asp. The VA will then follow up through the appropriate channels to investigate the complaint and resolve it satisfactorily.
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA)
The WIOA program offers assistance to selected eligible individuals who enter approved training programs at Bevill State Community College. Funds are generally provided for tuition, fees, books, and tools. Eligibility is determined by the local State Employment Office.
Vocational Rehabilitation
The State of Alabama provides certain benefits for students through the Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services. Information is available from the Director of Rehabilitation, State Department of Education, Montgomery, Alabama 36104. Telephone numbers are 800-441-7607 or 334-293-7500.
Staff Financial Assistance Program (SFAP)
The Staff Financial Assistance Program is funded by College employees to assist students who may have immediate financial needs. Grants or loans are awarded for direct institutional costs only. The SFAP committee on each campus meets as necessary to determine these awards. Applications are available in the Office of Student Services.
Financial Assistance Academic Progress Standards
In addition to meeting the College's required progress standards as outlined in this publication, students receiving Federal Financial Assistance must meet the following standards of progress:
1. When a student who is eligible for Title IV Federal financial aid is academically suspended, whether the student serves the suspension or is readmitted upon appeal, the student is not eligible to receive financial aid for the duration of the suspension. The student will not be eligible again to receive financial aid until he or she earns the cumulative GPA required for the number of credit hours attempted at the institution or the semester GPA is 2.0 or above (based on at least 12 credit hours or more attempted at the institution during that term).
2. Eligible students may receive Title IV Federal financial aid for a period of time not to exceed 1.5 times the normal length of a specific program.
3. Students on Title IV Federal financial aid must earn two-thirds of their scheduled hours.
Students who do not meet the above standards will be ineligible for Title IV Federal financial aid. A Title IV Federal financial aid recipient who is enrolled in a developmental (remedial) course may not enroll in the same course more than three times and continue to receive financial assistance. A Title IV Federal financial aid recipient may not be paid for more than 30 credit hours of developmental work. Satisfactory academic progress is evaluated each year prior to the next Financial Aid year.
A student may receive Title IV aid for any repetition of a course as long as the student has never passed the course. Title IV aid will apply to only one paid repeat of courses where a student has earned a "D" or higher.
Due Process for Appeal of the Suspension of Title IV Financial Assistance
A student who desires to appeal the suspension of his/her financial assistance award may do so by submitting a Financial Aid Appeal Packet to the Financial Aid Services Central Processing Center (FASCPC). The Financial Aid Appeal Form outlines the guidelines for completing the appeal process. The form is available in the Office of Student Services or at www.bscc.edu under forms and publications. The completed appeal packet must be submitted no later than the date(s) outlined by term below:
Priority Review Deadline:
2019 Fall Term: July 25, 2019
2020 Spring Term: November 22, 2019
2020 Summer Term: April 17, 2020
Review Deadline:
2019 Fall Term: August 13, 2019
2020 Spring Term: January 6, 2020
2020 Summer Term: May 26, 2020
Bevill will consider the number of program changes when assessing an appeal request. Students are allowed two program/major changes for a total of three programs. Students who want to continue on financial aid must have documented circumstances explaining their reasons. Submission of an appeal is not an automatic approval for financial aid. The student may review the Committee's decision at www.bscc.edu/MyBSCC. This decision will be final. Students who have reached their 600% Lifetime Eligibility for Pell Grant funds are not eligible to appeal.

Maisie sat crosslegged on her bed, reading a cherished passage from her favorite Joan of Arc biography. She'd always been entranced by the tale of St Joan. Joan had been her hero since girlhood. Sometimes, reading about her now, Maisie could remember the faith and peace of childhood.
Maisie closed the book. Joan had no doubt and didn't hesitate. Once St Michael came to her, she was ready and did not look back. Or so, the story had always gone.
Maisie herself was bereft of faith and peace and any sense of hope. There was a church across the mountain in Asheville dedicated to St Joan. Maisie knew if she asked her lover to take her there, they would.
Yet, everyday, Maisie was confronted with the evil and abuse of not just the Catholics, but every part of the church. Everywhere you looked, you saw the falseness of God's People.
She still loved St Joan, and all she had meant to Maisie, all the ways Joan had guided her. She still thought of Joan even though it recalled the tarnished memories of when Maisie and Hope had been best friends and in on accord. Before Maisie had aloof and cold blooded and arrogant Hope and her father Rev Bradley were.
Maisie looked over at her mermaid lamp, that filled the room with hard, crystalline light. Like a mermaid, half human and half animal, half land and half sea, half mortal and half immortal, she was caught between two worlds.
Maisie wanted faith, but saw so clearly how empty it was. She wanted saints, but could not forget all are corrupt. She wanted a place where all tears were wiped away, but knew there be no such place or time.
Maisie put away the book. She would not ask her lover to take her over the mountain. She could not have the hope of God or Saints. She did have the comfort of one who loved her.
Maisie reached for her phone to call her lover, their voice and their arms all the heaven she would ever find.

Cincinnati Recall Lawyer: Instant Pot Recalls For Multicooker Fire Hazard
On March 1, 2018, Double Insight recalled its Instant Pot Gem 65 8-in-1 multicookers after discovering a manufacturer defect that can cause the multicooker to overheat and melt on the underside, posing a fire and injury hazard to consumers. According to Instant Pot Recalls releases, around 104,000 units that were sold exclusively at Walmart from August, 2017 through January, 2018 have been recalled.
This Gem 65 8-in-1 multicookers is a multifunctional, programmable cooking appliance, which includes the functions of roasting, baking, stewing, slow cooking, rice cooking, searing/sautéing, steaming and food warming. A recall was prompted by safety concerns, and Double Insight has received at least 107 reports of overheating, five resulting in minor property damage.
Instant Pot recalls statements from the company says the affected products have batch codes of 1728, 1730, 1731, 1734, and 1746—the codes found on a silver label on the underside of the cooker, on the bottom right side of the label.
Pressure cooker defects may be reported by injured consumers or the manufacturer, and they are often recalled when they violate the safety standards of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). If you have been injured by an Instant Pot Gem multicooker product or another pressure cooker, you may be eligible for compensation to cover medical costs, lost wages, damages and pain and suffering.
Joe Lyon is a highly-rated Cincinnati recall attorney and Ohio product liability lawyer representing plaintiffs nationwide in a wide variety of consumer product liability and product defect cases.
Pressure cookers are frequently recalled for posing burn and fire hazards to American consumers. Specific defects may include an unsafe design, faulty sealing gaskets, improper assembly or poor material construction. Consumers who suffer burn injuries as a result of defective pressure cookers have filed successful lawsuits against the manufacturers.
Pressure cookers have caused hundreds of serious injuries over the years. Pressure cookers like the Gem 65 8-in-1 multicooker allegedly cook foods at temperatures higher than 250 degrees Fahrenheit. When contents spill or the appliance explodes, the hazards are obvious.
First and second degree burns have been reported. Second-degree burns can result in swelling, blisters, leaking fluid, skin loss and swelling. Third-degree burns are more serious, penetrate the entire thickness of the skin, and may damage nerve endings.
Injuries are likely to result from common defects, including:
If you or a loved one has suffered an injury due to an Instant Pot Gem 65 8-in-1 multicooker, and have questions about the legal remedies available to improve quality of life and medical care in Ohio, contact The Lyon Firm at (800) 513-2403. You will speak directly with Mr. Lyon, and he will help you answer critical questions regarding instant pot recalls.

History of a Popular European Radio Station: From Radio Luxembourg to Rtl.fr (2 Vol Set)
Marechal, Denis
The book traces the history of a famous non-specialized commercial radio station, through from its beginnings in trans-frontier broadcasting in the 1930's to its enviable position at the heart of a Europe-wide multi-media empire. Indeed, part of the book relates to rivalry with the BBC and other European broadcasters before and after the Second World War. The station played a pivotal role in the events of May 1968, and the evolving attitudes to homosexuality and other subjects, affecting even the use of language. Echoing the instability of the media world and the commercial and political tensions within it, the book also shows the struggle with various governments to defend freedom of expression.
"This is the story, firstly of Radio Luxembourg and latterly of RTL, placed expansively on record. It is one which I commend to you as the fruit of their respective labors of love: in research, writing and translation."
Prof. Guy Starkey,
University of Sunderland
"The essential contribution of this book is that it proves irrefutably that radio, too often overlooked by media observers and researchers, has never ceased to pave the way for new forms of expression."
Prof. Francis Ball,
Universite Pantheon-Assas
"He retraces skillfully and with precision a story full of twists and turns, bringing to light new information on changing sensitivities and the many forces at work in the field of broadcasting."
Prof. Jean Joel Jeanneney,
Institut d'Etudes Politiques

Thanks for watching FAB Decor. You can view this entire video series on eHow. Enjoy the video below or read on for an abridged version of the video's transcript:
Hi, I'm Kimberly Seeherman, celebrity wedding planner and owner of Events by Fabulous. Today we're going to be talking about wedding invitations, specifically wording for a costume wedding.
The most general and easy way to ask your guests to dress up is to say "festive attire welcome." That allows people to know that you want them to dress in a style that is appropriate for the theme of the wedding.
If you want to be more encouraging, you might say, "costumes requested," or, "themed attire requested." Or you could be a little bit more creative with your wording and choose words that are inspired by the theme of your wedding.
For example, in the video you will see a great sample invitation here for a Great Gatsby themed wedding. Note we have written for attire, "Vintage Great." That's a wonderful way to let people know how they should be dressing, and it makes it more fun.
Thanks For Watching!

One killed as Hurricane Michael hits Florida
PANAMA CITY: Hurricane Michael has killed one person in northern Florida, an official in Gadsden County west of the state capital Tallahassee told AFP, giving the first confirmed death from the powerful storm.
The hurricane roared ashore on Wednesday (Oct 10), flooding homes and streets and toppling trees and power lines in the Gulf of Mexico beachfront town where it made landfall as a raging Category 4 storm.
There is "one hurricane-related fatality," said Olivia Smith, public information officer for the Gadsden County Board of County Commissioners, adding that the incident was "debris-related. There was a tree involved."
She could not say what time the death occurred or give any details about the victim.
Smith said the situation was dangerous even for emergency personnel.
"We've been very cautious with sending our first responders out right now," she said.
Florida officials said Michael, packing winds of 250 kmh, was the most powerful storm to hit the southern US state in more than a century.
Michael made landfall around 1pm Eastern time (1700 GMT) near Mexico Beach, a resort town about 32km southeast of Panama City on the Florida Panhandle, the National Hurricane Centre (NHC) said.
Pictures and video from Mexico Beach, a community of about 1,000 people, showed scenes of devastation with houses floating in flooded streets, some ripped from their foundations and missing roofs.
Roads were filled with piles of floating debris.
Panama City looked like a war zone after being battered for nearly three hours by strong winds and heavy rains. Roads were virtually impassable and trees, satellite dishes and traffic lights lay in the streets.
"Hurricane Michael is forecast to be the most destructive storm to hit the Florida Panhandle in a century," Governor Rick Scott said.
Briefing President Donald Trump at the White House, top emergency management official Brock Long said Michael was the most intense hurricane to strike the area since 1851.
"Along our coast, communities are going to see unimaginable devastation," Governor Rick Scott said.
Briefing President Donald Trump at the White House, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) chief Brock Long said Michael was the most intense hurricane to strike the Florida Panhandle since 1851.
"Along our coast, communities are going to see unimaginable devastation," Scott said, with storm surge posing the greatest danger.
"Water will come miles in shore and could easily rise over the roofs of houses," he said.
"Those who stick around to experience storm surge don't typically live to tell about it unfortunately," said FEMA's Long.
Hundreds of thousands of people were ordered to evacuate their homes and the governor told residents who had not done so to "hunker down and be careful."
There were no immediate reports of casualties but officials were fearing the worst.
"This is, unfortunately, a historical and incredibly dangerous and life-threatening situation," said Ken Graham, director of the Miami-based NHC. "It's going to be incredibly catastrophic."
General Terrence O'Shaughnessy, commander of North American Aerospace Defense Command, said some Florida residents may have been surprised by the rapid growth of the storm.
"It really started as a tropical storm, and then it went to Category 1, then it was Category 2 and before you know it, it was Category 4," O'Shaughnessy said.
"Where that becomes a factor is with the evacuation of some of the local populations," he said. "We haven't seen as robust of an evacuation response from the civilian population that we have seen in other storms."
About four hours after the hurricane made landfall, the eye of the storm was leaving the Florida Panhandle and approaching southeastern Alabama and southwest Georgia, the NHC said.
It said Michael was now a Category 3 storm with winds abating but still extremely dangerous at 205 kilometres per hour.
"Michael should weaken as it crosses the southeastern United States through Thursday," the NHC said.
Long, the head of FEMA, said many Florida buildings were not built to withstand a storm above the strength of a Category 3 hurricane on the five-level Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.
As it came ashore, Michael was just shy of a Category 5 - defined as a storm packing wind speeds of 157 mph or above.
An estimated 375,000 people in more than 20 counties were ordered or advised to evacuate.
The National Weather Service office in the state capital Tallahassee issued a dramatic appeal for people to comply with evacuation orders.
"Hurricane Michael is an unprecedented event and cannot be compared to any of our previous events. Do not risk your life, leave NOW if you were told to do so," it said.
The NWS said it had found no record of any previous Category 4 hurricanes that made landfall in the Panhandle or the "Big Bend" coastal region.
"This situation has NEVER happened before," it said on Twitter.
Trump issued an emergency declaration for Florida, freeing up federal funds for relief operations and providing the assistance of FEMA, which has more than 3,000 people on the ground.
State officials issued disaster declarations in Alabama and Georgia and the storm is also expected to bring heavy rainfall to North and South Carolina.
The Carolinas are still recovering from Hurricane Florence, which left dozens dead and is estimated to have caused billions of dollars in damage last month.
It made landfall on the coast as a Category 1 hurricane on Sep 14 and drenched some parts of the state with 101 centimetres of rain.
Last year saw a string of catastrophic storms batter the western Atlantic - including Irma, Maria and Harvey, which caused a record-equaling US$125 billion in damage when it flooded the Houston metropolitan area.
Scientists have long warned that global warming will make storms more destructive, and some say the evidence for this may already be visible.

Bishop George Stack from Westminster dioceses on behalf of Pope Benedict XVI conferred the gold medal award Pro Ecclessia et Pontifice, known as the Cross of Honour for Church and Pope.
It is the award of highest distinction given by the Catholic Church to lay people and was awarded for a distinguished career of exceptional scholarship, research and contribution to the education of children, the training of new teachers and the education of teachers.
"Personally I was overwhelmed by the surprise presentation. I have never had a day at work which I did not enjoy and certainly had no expectation of recognition in such an outstanding way. My love has been for teaching no matter what the context and seeking potential and helping it to develop. I have had the good fortune to be mentored by and led very talented people throughout my dual career in education and gymnastic sport. I had parents who planted ethics deep into my mind and soul and supported me to use God-given gifts. I shall always be thankful for their part in my life history. Living with cancer is a new career to now follow but what I have learned is that no matter what life circumstance presents, I shall always be a teacher and that education is the greatest wealth I have. This award will keep me constantly aware of what joy is to be had from teaching and sharing", said Professor Patricia Wade.
Congratulations from all at British Gymnastics!

No Money to Building Their Dream House: OFW Couple Faces the Challenges of Working Abroad to Achieving Their Dreams
For couples, once they get married, one of the first things they want to achieve is to have a house they can call their own. For a husband and a wife, having their own humble adobe is the first step to starting their own family.
Recently, an Overseas Filipino Worker named Sha-Sha Dangallo Villaruel shared her journey with her husband who is also working as an OFW. According to her, she and her husband were not born rich that's why they strive for the future of their family.
Seeking Better Opportunities
In 2011, she decided to join her then-boyfriend to Manila and seek better career opportunities. She started applying to different agencies for the chance to work abroad. However, everything did not start easy — she finds staying in Manila costly, especially for her who is just starting.
To help finance their needs, her husband started working for his aunt. The money he is earning is used as their allowance and transportation whenever they are going to agencies. Sha-Sha, on the other hand, borrows money from her brother. She did not stop forwarding resumes to different agencies. She underwent several interviews she can no longer count, deceived by a fixer, and had a medical exam only to find out that the agency is not authorized to send OFWs abroad.
Kung ilang interview ang pinagdaanan ko nun hindi ko na mabilang. Meron din yung maloko ako ng fixer, naabutan kami ng bagyo at baha sa manila at tapos kana lahat mgpa medical yun pala walang visa ung agency sa posisyon mo. Saklap!
Working as OFWs
Luckily, they were able to secure a job in another country. In 2014, she finally married her husband but even if they are both earning money, people still have something to say.
Bakit kayo mgpapakasal ei [eh] wala pa namn kayo ipon?
But her husband became her motivation to strive for the better. In just a month after they got married, both of them flew to another country again to work.
Achieving Their Dreams
Finally, they are starting to reap the fruits of their labor. They are now in the process of constructing their dream house. They also have businesses on the side and were able to have vacations outside the Philippines.
Alam ko na marami pa kami mapagdadaanan sa buhay mag asawa, pero kasabay nun patuloy pa din kami mgpapasalamat at magbabalik loob sa mga biyayang ipinagkaloob ng Panginoon.
Sha-Sha is hoping to inspire not only couples but also other individuals that they can reach success in life if they want to. With perseverance and inspiration, anything is not possible.

text: Today I dropped by the local hardware store and picked up some boiled linseed oil and pure gum terpentine, mixed it 1/4 terpentine, 3/4 linseed oil and applied it to my L300 cabinets with a piece of cloth from an old black cotton t shirt. After letting the mixture sit for about a half hour I wiped it off with a clean/dry piece of black cotton t shirt. This is the same mixture JBL used to oil the cabinets at the factory and it was noted in the older owners manuals re care of the cabinet finish. I'll let it sit overnight and add another coat in the morning but so far the cabinets look excellent with a very low luster and the grain pattern highlighted. If I remember correctly it was recommended to do the simple process at least once a year to keep the walnut veneer looking its best. The cost of the boiled linseed oil and pure gum terpentine was about $12 plus tax and should be sufficent for a lifetime of reoiling.

Welcome back to the Ugly Stick Saloon with this short story about Charli's third erotic adventure.
She wants to know...
Will she discover who her secret lover is this time?
"You know a lot about me...I'd like to be equally as knowledgeable about you." Charli leaned forward, her top loosening, a waft of cool air tickling her nipples. She was almost positive the men at her sides could view her full breasts, should they bother to look. The thought weighted her core with desire.
"You may ask three questions." OS waved his hand. "But be warned. I guarantee no answers."
Charli pouted and asked the most important question, "What's your name?"
He shook his head. "That's the mystery portion of the danger equation. Next question."
Frustration stabbed her chest and she sat back. "Are you a cowboy, or do you just wear the clothes?"
"I've been known to rope, ride, wrangle and build a fence or two."
She straightened. Maybe now they were getting somewhere. The guy was real cowboy. "Are you here with the rodeo?"
He shrugged, noncommittally. "I admit to having spent a day or two there, on occasion."
A frustrated sigh slipped past Charli's lips. That wasn't much of an answer. "Are you Connor Mason?"
The cowboy smiled. "That's four questions." He waved to the cowboy with the fiddle, who promptly disappeared. The cowboy serving the wine and dinner ducked out as well.
"If you're finished with your meal, perhaps you would care for dessert?"
"I suppose." Charli wanted to know where the other two men had gone and if they were serving more than music and food, but she'd used up her quota of questions.
The man in the black cowboy hat stood and held the chair while Charli rose. His fingers settled on her shoulders, sliding down the length of her arms. The brush of lips at the curve of her neck sent her body into a rush of electric shocks, tingling all the way to her center.
"Is this dessert?" she whispered, her head dipping to one side, allowing him better access to her throat.
"Not quite. I have dessert waiting in another room." His hands slipped beneath the swaths of fabric and cupped her breasts, pulling her against him, the hard ridge of his erection pressing into her back. "Shall we?"
"The table is closer," Charli offered weakly, the rough hands palming her boobs setting her core on fire. She was ready to start the fucking now.
He chuckled, pinched her hardened nipples and slapped her ass. Then he turned her toward another doorway and led her into the room with the bedroom displays, equally exposed to the large display windows at the front of the furniture store. In the middle of the floor stood a king-sized bed, draped in black satin sheets, with red satin pillows scattered across the mattress. White rose petals littered the surface, their aroma adding to the ambiance.
Charli's pulse hammered through her veins. Oh, yeah, baby. This was going to be good.
The two cowboys appeared from the shadows, each wearing nothing but black silk boxers, their masks and the cowboy hats.
The cowboy from the night before set a bowl of strawberries and a riding whip on the nightstand and stood with legs braced apart, both hands crossed over a rock-hard erection tenting his silk shorts.
On the other side of the bed, the new cowboy arranged a bowl of whipped cream and a length of rope. He too stood at parade rest, a smile tugging at his lips, his hands cupping the stiffy poking against his boxers.
Charli's breath caught and held in her lungs and she turned to Original Sin. "For me?"
"Dessert has arrived." He smiled and gestured toward the bed. "All you have to decide is how you want it served."

A few months ago, I got to meet some trailblazing Einstein Analytics customers and partners while attending the Salesforce World Tour in London. It was a great experience, as I always enjoy hearing personal use cases and getting direct feedback from customers. This really helps us to understand their unique experiences as they work to transform their businesses.
Part of this tour included sharing the Einstein Analytics roadmap and soliciting feedback around it. In fact, we received some great input from Trailblazers that will undoubtedly help shape the product's future in a big way.
For those of you new to Einstein Analytics, it's an analytics platform that combines data sets, dashboards, and analytics apps — all within an embedded, homogeneous user experience. when it comes to using analytics especially the blended transactional, analytical and predictive experience. Knowing that adoption is one of the biggest challenges — and metrics of success — of any digital transformation, we've found that having an embedded analytics experience has helped raise overall adoption rates significantly. Here are a couple of reasons why this kind of user experience is so important today.
Customers expect analytics to be a native part of the daily business workflow. For example, when a user logs in to Salesforce and navigate to a page related to my work (ex. "Account" or "Opportunity"), they see both transactional (i.e. "a task to complete") and analytical (i.e. "trends and historical data") information on those pages. The important takeaway here is that transactional (the data users input on daily basis), analytical (historical and trends), and predictive data (AI) now all live in one place. This creates a single interactive and fully-integrated experience that combines all available data sources seamlessly to help users make more informed decisions and significantly increase productivity and efficiency. In other words, providing a more natural flow of information and insights enables users to work efficiently and effectively.
Why is this important? Because "adoption" is one of the most critical success metrics for any implementation program. The new tools and solutions being provided must always be easy and enjoyable to use in order for teams to make them a regular part of their daily workflow. As one Einstein Analytics customer put it: "We've also embedded analytics into our Lightning pages, and it's made jobs easier — people absolutely love it."
In the past, typical analytics implementations have been approached as "two tool" integrations. This basically means that users would have to toggle between different systems and solutions implemented to get the information they need to do their work. Today, this has changed completely. With embedded analytics implementations, all critical information sources can now be accessed in one convenient place. For example, say you want to do more than just see top-level KPI dashboards. Now, you no longer need to switch over to a separate analytics tool or other sources to "fetch" that information or update charts and graphs. It can all be done within a single embedded analytics solution. This provides immediate time-savings that allow users to make important, more informed decisions a lot faster — one of the main reasons why the natural flow of information and insights within embedded analytics platforms is becoming more and more critical for business users today.
Natural Flow of Information (daily business actions, insights and deeper analytics)
The factors propelling the adoption of analytics platforms, in general, are speed, accuracy, and simplicity. For example, analytics apps must be built and deployed in an agile manner. They must provide a complete and accurate picture of the daily flow of information needed to make business decisions easily, without a complicated UI getting in the way. Eliminating these roadblocks encourages users to login (willingly) and extract value from these products every day. Whether in the field or at the office, an embedded analytics platform puts insights and analytics at users' fingertips, which speeds up decision-making and simplifies daily workflow. Simplicity, therefore, is the single most important part of any implementation — from design and development to integration and usage — and one of the main reasons why embedded analytics platforms are far superior to other systems that essentially force users to "fetch" data and insights from non-integrated business intelligence (BI) solutions (which just adds an unnecessary layer to daily workflows).
With Einstein Analytics, analytics is natively embedded into Salesforce apps and pages, placing important data in the middle of the natural flow of information and insights. Users can see KPIs, charts, and recommendations as they go about their daily work, including things like updating opportunities, capturing campaigns, and following up on open cases. Many customers even said that implementing embedded analytics has transformed the way they work.
With Artificial Intelligence (AI) already becoming a key component of many applications, it goes without saying that the most cutting-edge analytics experiences today come in the form of AI-powered prescriptive analytics. This is where Einstein Discovery from Einstein Analytics adds to the analytics narrative with actionable recommendations, right within the same business application. Not only does this equip users with predictive scores, but it also provides explanations around those scores that help users take meaningful and relevant actions on that information. This AI-powered knowledge seamlessly integrated within intelligent business apps ultimately makes daily tasks easier, faster, and efficient.
An example of applying prescriptive analytics directly while running daily business tasks
Standalone BI solutions are becoming things of the past as the inevitable shift towards embedded and fully-integrated (both native and external) systems is becoming more and more a part of our future. The goal of the analytics world today is to create simpler APIs for embedded apps that put actionable intelligence in the hands of every user. This will not only help improve adoption rates but also empower teams to drive long-term business value.
Salesforce users powered by Einstein Analytics are already experiencing (and benefitting from) this integrated analytics experience. Augmented by AI and simplified with conversational analytics, this is creating a seamless experience that's quickly being seen as table stakes across all industries.

Jewellery continued to see a healthy current value increase in 2019, although growth was slower than in the previous year. The prevailing good economic environment was beneficial for growth in sales of jewellery in the Netherlands, but lower consumer confidence led to more stable growth.
Gold and silver are valued for products such as rings and necklaces, due to their quality. However, other lower-priced materials are also gaining popularity.
Although jewellery and watch specialist retailers still dominated jewellery in the Netherlands in 2019, the rapid shift in distribution towards internet retailing continued. The number of independent jewellery specialist retailers is declining, whilst department stores also faces pressure from greater competitiveness and the shift towards non-store retailing.
Traditional jewellery specialists are adapting their sales strategies to expand their ranges of products and target more consumer groups with a wider variety of products. Steltman is one of the reference jewellers from the Netherlands, present with two physical stores located in The Hague, with one specialised in fine jewellery and the other in watches.
Local player Tirisi Jewelry is valued for offering attractive designs and good quality at affordable prices, with the use of gold, silver and combinations. In addition to its classic Tirisi line, the manufacturer also promotes Tirisi Moda, a jewellery collection with a more fashionable concept, targeted towards younger women, with products including bracelets, earrings and necklaces.
Lucardi was the second largest player in jewellery in value terms in 2018, and is one of the few chained jewellery specialist retailers in the Netherlands. The retailer increased its investment in combatting the growing competition from internet retailing by focusing its strategy on combining its presence and promotions through physical stores with encouraging sales through its webshop with frequent price and product promotions.

Stevenson, N. 2016. Designing New Tourism Areas in London . Taiwan European Culture Forum . Taipei 26 - 26 Nov 2016
|Designing New Tourism Areas in London
|Stevenson, N.
|Conference keynote
People make decisions to visit cities for a wide variety of reasons – some are interested in their image and reputation, some want to visit specific attractions, to attend an event, see friends and family, to study or work. This presentation considers city image, focussing on the design characteristics that appeal to tourists and underpin their decision to visit destinations. It explores the components of London's image from a design perspective. Starting at a broad level it considers an image of the London Skyline and explores some of the iconic buildings that form part of that skyline. It then discusses transport links and nodes, the spaces between buildings – the places we traverse as we explore the city and where we encounter and experience the life of the city. It uses a case study of the Olympic Park in Stratford to explore the multi-faceted approach to designing this area and connecting it to the life of the city. Finally it makes conclusions about the role of integrated urban design in creating places which are attractive to tourists.

Glenleven Linden
Tilia x flavescens 'Glenleven'
Glenleven Linden
(Photo courtesy of NetPS Plant Finder)
Height: 50 feet
Spread: 35 feet
Hardiness Zone: 3
An impressive small shade tree with an oval-pyramid shape and central trunk, features fragrant yellow flowers in early summer when few trees bloom; very tidy and low maintenance, adaptable, makes an excellent lawn or street tree, great by a pool or deck
Ornamental Features
Glenleven Linden features subtle clusters of fragrant buttery yellow flowers with tan bracts hanging below the branches in early summer. It has dark green foliage throughout the season. The large heart-shaped leaves turn an outstanding yellow in the fall. The fruit is not ornamentally significant.
Landscape Attributes
Glenleven Linden is a dense deciduous tree with a strong central leader and a shapely oval form. Its average texture blends into the landscape, but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition.
This is a relatively low maintenance tree, and is best pruned in late winter once the threat of extreme cold has passed. It is a good choice for attracting bees to your yard. Gardeners should be aware of the following characteristic(s) that may warrant special consideration;
- Insects
Glenleven Linden is recommended for the following landscape applications;
- Shade
Planting & Growing
Glenleven Linden will grow to be about 50 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 35 feet. It has a high canopy with a typical clearance of 6 feet from the ground, and should not be planted underneath power lines. As it matures, the lower branches of this tree can be strategically removed to create a high enough canopy to support unobstructed human traffic underneath. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 70 years or more.
This tree should only be grown in full sunlight. It is very adaptable to both dry and moist locations, and should do just fine under average home landscape conditions. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid.
"This Plant Finder tool is an online resource representing many of the varieties that we carry over the course of the season, and is intended for informational purposes only. Inventory varies seasonally, so we cannot guarantee that every plant will be in stock at all times - please contact the store directly for current availability. It does not include our entire selection of plants, so be sure to visit our store to see varieties that may not be represented on this list."

Over the last few years we have seen a move from utility-scale renewable energy procurement, through the REIPPP programme, to a more distributed approach which favours small-scale solar PV. This allows for more participation by South African developers and start-ups and offers opportunities for skills development, entrepreneurship and job creation.
Loosely speaking, any electricity generation under 10 MW of capacity is considered small-scale and, when installed behind the meter, is considered embedded. This gives rise to a new sector: The small-scale embedded generation (SSEG) sector. Solar PV continues to be the generation technology of choice for this sector.
The Department of Energy's (DoE's) recent instruction that Nersa process registrations and licenses of SSEG projects, is expected to attract more investment and result in exponential growth. These projects, with a power generation capacity between 1 and 10 MW, will add much-needed power to the grid without the developer having to request authorisation from the minister of energy for deviation from the integrated resource plan (IRP).
The South African Photovoltaic Industry Association (SAPVIA) has been successful in driving progress in the sector by its submission to the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Energy (PPCE) where a request was made for an annual allocation of 500 MW of generation capacity from SSEG. But this is only a starting point for where this sector could go and much more could be done.
International experience shows that the role of small-scale solar PV projects can benefit rural communities and smaller local municipalities. With the aim of wanting to reduce their dependency on the national grid, people use small-scale solar PV to provide greater security of supply of electricity, given our country's history of load-shedding.
With South Africa's global competitiveness and investor-friendly climate always under scrutiny by international rating agencies, decreasing the country's carbon footprint, decentralising power supply to create more economic opportunities and dramatically reducing the cost of electricity, should remain one of our government's strategic imperatives.
The SSEG sector is well positioned to assist government in achieving these imperatives. The cost of rooftop solar PV has dropped significantly in recent years. Through a viable business case, businesses, commercial properties and industry players have started to enjoy the benefits of the uptake of solar PV. Schools, clinics and other public facilities should follow suit. Large metros, like the City of Cape Town, are desirous to generate their own electricity. The City of Cape Town has embarked on a registration initiative of all current and future small-scale solar PV projects to promote safe and legal installations to the municipal grid and to increase planning capacity for quality power generation.
The benefits of the SSEG sector are many and meaningful, and can, with government's help, stimulate growth, skills development and entrepreneurship opportunities which will create jobs.
In addressing the gap between where the SSEG sector is currently and the sector's potential, SAPVIA has undertaken to focus on areas such as promoting a standard curriculum for solar PV to strengthen skills development. This has also been matched by a drive to create national standards for SSEG installations and to work closely with municipalities and industry associations such as the South African Local Government Association (SALGA) and the Association of Municipal Electricity Utilities (AMEU), all under the umbrella of SAPVIA's PV GreenCard Programme with its proposed quality mechanisms.
Over and above the decision taken by the DoE, there are even more positive indications that government will partner with the private sector to drive growth and development. The Public Private Growth Initiative (PPGI) which was recently endorsed by President Cyril Ramaphosa in his 2019 State of the Nation address, serves as further evidence of this. The PPGI looks to the solar PV industry, and oithers, in terms of both utility-scale and small-scale implementation to promote jobs and drive South Africa's just transition towards clean energy.
Although there is no consensus as to the amount of SSEG implemented to date, it is estimated that hundreds of megawatts of solar PV have already been installed in South Africa. The CSIR estimates that 57 000 jobs will be created between 2019 and 2030 through the PPGI, provided that 1500 MW of solar PV is procured annually within the same period. The transition to clean energy, driven by the clean energy accords South Africa is party to, will drive an increase in the deployment of solar PV, resulting in a dramatic reduction in South Africa's carbon footprint.

Friday's "princess pageant" dress rehearsal in Melbourne turned into something of a farce as a TV-rights war between A Current Affair and Today Tonight threatened to upstage pampered kids and the protestors.
And that's some feat…
Several media articles today extract some of the gory details that surrounded US child pageant entrant, six year old Eden Wood and the Universal Royal Beauty Pageant held at Northcote Town Hall.
A Current Affair paid $20,000 for the exclusive TV rights to cover the event inside the Town Hall.
But Today Tonight paid pageant mother Mickie Wood and her daughter Eden an unconfirmed fee of up to $70,000.
What ensued on the night was a no-show by Eden Wood, a crowd favourite from Toddlers and Tiaras, as Seven reportedly kept her at bay in a shop across the road. Nor did she show at the main event yesterday.
ACA executive producer Grant Williams says Today Tonight also offered a further $70,000 to the organisers of the pageant.
"Because TT couldn't get into the pageant, they grabbed a few kids from the show and took them down the road to meet Eden so it looked like they had been there," he told news.com.au.
Ms. Wood, who said she had been paid "nothing close" to the touted $70k, said she had put her daughter's welfare first in deciding not to let her attend after threats had been made.
But The Sunday Age was told by Channel Seven producer Madeleine Kennard that Eden wouldn't be attending the pageant because Mickie Wood's agent, Heather Ryan, wasn't allowed into the venue.
At one stage Ms. Wood and Ms Ryan were chased up and down the street, shielding their faces from the Channel Nine crew.
Meanwhile, the Seven crew tried to get word inside the pageant that Eden was available for autographs and pictures if they came to the shop.
Ms. Wood told NineMSN, "The whole city is astir about a beauty pageant that there's nothing wrong with … it's something that the little girls and their parents chose to bring them to."
The Sydney Morning Herald reports the decision by Ms. Wood to withdraw Eden from the event left many of her fans disappointed after they had paid $50 to have their photo taken with the young starlet. Entrants were reportedly told they could cash in their money for other event merchandise.
Yesterday, a modest protest gathered at the Fairy Tree at the Fitzroy Gardens to voice their opposition to the pageant.
A few fairies joined in and a couple of fluffy white bunny rabbits sniggered from behind the bushes.

Lovelace Attorneys: We Expect to Be Done by Friday
The Curtis Lovelace murder trial heads down the home stretch as testimony got underway Monday morning.
Special prosecutor Ed Parkinson continued to present his case against the former assistant state's attorney and school board president.
Monday's witnesses include Lovelace's oldest child, Lyndsay, now a senior at the University of Iowa, who is the second of Lovelace's children to testify.
Also on the witness list is Dr. Michael Baden, a nationally known pathologist who specializes in high profile cases.
Parkinson indicated he expected to wrap up the state's case by noon Monday. Defense attorney James Elmore says he expects to wrap up his case no later than Friday.
