Knight Frank, the leading international real estate services provider and consultant, has released its Urban Futures report, in which it studied the urbanisation movement in 32 major cities around the globe and its impact on these cities' property markets.
In its examination of Riyadh, the Saudi capital city, Urban Futures concluded that the accelerating shift of the city's population from its rural areas to its urban areas is exerting a growing pressure on the Saudi housing market.
The report also explained that the multi-generational household salaries has slightly dimmed how impacted the affordability issue is, adding that taking other factors into consideration, like the average salaries, would give us drastically different results.
Knight Frank's report expects the issue to grow further in the future as more people move into the city's central areas for better living standards, which will in turn negatively impact the affordability of house prices which is already a challenge the Saudi market has been dealing with for years now.
Last year, in its Global House Price Index report issued for the third quarter of 2018, Knight Frank rnaked the Saudi property market as the worst performing market out of 57 major global markets. Many other global real estate consultants' reports agreed with this conclusion, specially considering the fact that, in 2018, the Saudi property market has hit its lowest numbers since 2014.

They were remembered - though there may have been some confusion here with what occurred later - becauseone of the hunters claimed that the wolves had been accompanied by another animal; he had only caught a glimpse of it and could not give it a name, but what he had seen fq some reason the man was unwilling to describe. After the hunt was over the tribes teturned to their villages to divide up the spoils. Later the women had brought the men rice beer and then left them to feast,drink, alk, sing and dance their way through the night; but discussion soon furned from hunting to politics and the mood ofgaiety reverted to one ofapprehension over the cruel edict that would send them away as sacrificesto the 'great village of blood'.
They travelled south atong the eastbank ofthe Subarnarekhauntil they reachedDhashragat where, after the usual haggling with the ferrymen, who always had to be reassuredthat the bullock cars would not sink the ferry, 4nd the usual wait for the wind to turn in their favour, tley were punted acrossthe great brown sweep of water, carried and spun around by the current like the frail skiffs that plied the river night and day for the abundanceof fuh brought by the rains. They finally landed several hundred yards down-stream, a mile or so from the village of Nayagaram.
The confrontation began to draw out, tension easing as the wolf turned its headmore often to avoid the eyesof the deer; both seemed ready to relax their guard when, unaccountably, the buck wheeled and charged off through the trees, and the wolf went after him. The rest of the herd bolted, scatteringin every direction, plunging through the undergrowth, offering easy targets at each twist and turn of their laboured flight. The wolf concentrated on the buck. This was the critical stageof the hunt: if it failed to get close in these first few seconds it would lose its only chance to attach for unsupportedit could never hope to run the buck down.

Mississippi Silicon LLC has some breathing room as a suit seeking to stop the construction of the plant at Burnsville in Tishomingo County was dismissed.
U.S. District Court Judge Debra M. Brown ruled on Thursday that the Northern Mississippi court did not have jurisdiction, and the motion by Globe Specialty Metallurgical, a Selma, Ala.,-based competitor, for a preliminary injunction was a moot point.
The plant is expected to employ 200 during the next few years after its opening, which is expected soon, John Lalley, vice president for finance for Mississippi Silicon, said in a news release.
The dismissal was "without prejudice," meaning it could be refiled. Globe Specialty Metals, Inc., the challenger's Miami-based parent, did not have an immediate response to the decision.
Brown's "decision confirms that this lawsuit … was without merit," Lalley said.
"This was one of a series of lawsuits advanced by Globe to disrupt our project and protect their monopoly as the only domestic merchant producer of silicon metal in the United States."
An Alabama judge in September tossed Globe's challenge to the air quality permit issued by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality.
Mississippi Silicon is partnering with Rima Holdings USA, a subsidiary of Brazil's Rima Industrial SA, a producer of one fourth of the world's silicon.
Clean Tech 1 LLC, an investment group headed by John Correnti, owns 20 percent of the $200 million Burnsville plant. The Mississippi Development Authority provided $21 million in incentives.
Nucor Corp., which is one of the largest steel makers in the United States and has a plant in Decatur, Ala., intervened, contending that the proposed Burnsville plant in northeast Mississippi would adversely affect the air quality in the Alabama town, which is 75 miles away.
Correnti is former chairman of Charlotte, N.C.-based Nucor, whose two subsidiary plants in Mississippi County, Ark., sued to block construction of the $1.2 billion Big River Steel plant at Osceola, Ark., also in the county, by an investment group headed by Correnti.
The suit challenged the validity of the air permit for the plant that will employ more than 500 and pay about $75,000 a year. The suit was dismissed in U.S. District Court in February.
Correnti was head of another investment group that was a minority partner in the construction of the SeverCorr steel plant in Columbus, which was later sold to Severstal, a Russian company, and last year to Steel Dynamics.

Statues of tragic children returned to Bridgnorth beer garden
Statues of two children tragically drowned after being accidentally locked in a Bridgnorth pub cellar have been returned to their rightful place in the venue's beer garden.
Busts of brother and sister Charlotte and William, who died in the cellar of The Magpie – now the Bassa Villa – had been removed for their safekeeping.
The pair were supposed to have died in the 1600s, with their distraught parents then commissioning the statues which were displayed in the garden up until around eight years ago – when someone was spotted scoping the sculptures out to steal them.
Now Nick Bevan and Sadie Cannon, who run the Bassa Villa, have welcomed the statues back where they belong.
The gruesome history is commemorated with a plaque in the pub, and staff and residents have spoken on numerous occasions about the venue being haunted by the children's grief-stricken mother – a ghost named 'The Lady in Black'.
See also:
The two children are said to have been playing hide and seek in the cellar when they somehow got locked in.
"No-one knew they were there and the river subsequently flooded, burst its banks and drowned them both," said Bridgnorth local historian Clive Gwilt, who has written a booklet about the history of Magpie.
"Sounds of the children crying and banging on the door have been heard on several occasions."
Nick, who has been at the pub since February 2015, said they were pleased to have been able to bring the statues back.
To ensure their safety the busts have been sealed in a large concrete trough, which will sit looking over the pub's award winning beer garden.
Nick said: "They have been in the owner's back garden. They have been wanting them to come back, we have wanted them to come back, but it was about finding the right place for their safety."
Customers have routinely asked when the statues will be returning, with Nick saying he has fielded 'weekly' questions over their location.
He said: "There is a big plaque in the pub which explains about the history and the mother that haunts the pub and about her children who drowned."
Nick said both he and Sadie have had personal experience of the ghost – with his coming around 13 years ago when he worked there under different owners.
"It was late at night and she just walked past me. I just saw this grey figure walk past me. I was one end of the bar and she walked out the other end of the bar by the garden," he said.
"So many people have their own stories about it."
Nick said Sadie had also encountered the supernatural goings-on, while they also have video footage of glasses flying off the shelves for no reason.
Asked if the ghostly presence had tempted him to reconsider working at the pub he said: "No, you just get used to it."
"We are just pleased they are back where they belong," he added.
"They are meant to be here so it is nice to have them back."

Very good as always, the pasta seems a bit overdone when arriving, likely due to how hot and fresh it is. Maybe cook more al dente for the delivery orders.

You are here
Peter Burgess
Overwhelming everything else in Peter Burgess's recent exhibition are two large murals: one of a domestic sofa, overstuffed in a mottled pattern; the other of a jet fighter banking sharply toward the gallery floor. Small stencils of military hardware form the sofa's mottling, while the jet's camouflage consists of similarly stencilled shapes of domestic items – coat-hangers, cutlery, pins and pens. The sofa and jet are a sort of yin and yang, the household and familiar contrasting with the product of national power and ideology. Yet, just as there is always a dot of yin in yang (and vice versa), Burgess's domestic icon is tainted by the objects of an imposing ideology.
Burgess appears to overstate in these murals what he allows to be understated or even obscure in the other fifteen framed pieces which form the core of this exhibition. For some time he has concerned himself with analysing the media's impact on the private sphere, on how our environment is affected by information encoded with ideological meanings. Here, he points to the rhetoric of power by printing phrases which would be innocuous had they not been appropriated by dominant ideology. Such terms as "a green beret", "grassy knoll", and "collapsing dominoes" bear little trace of a meaning beyond that of describing the use and abuse of power.
These terms and phrases, which appear in only half the pieces, are embossed on paper, black on black, so that one can only read them by finding a viewing position which catches the light. This seems a fair metaphor for discerning ambiguity. It requires a certain shifting of position in order to grasp what is hidden. Burgess juxtaposes the phrases with simple line engravings of familiar objects – a rose, a shoe, a chair, an umbrella. These require a further change in stance in order to be seen, so that the objects of everyday life and the language of power cannot be seen perfectly from the single viewpoint.
Also engraved on the black paper are rows of small stencilled shapes. Some suggest familiar objects – a lightbulb, perhaps, a carpet tack, an icecream cone. Others eluded me, obdurately refusing my attempts to pull them into my world of familiar objects.
Almost half the pieces involve representations of photographs from daily newspapers – or perhaps the pixel maze of monochrome television. These require a further change in stance, a step or two back so that the incoherent blobs of ink can reform themselves into readable images. Even then, as with everything in this exhibition, ambiguity remains: a man stands at a lectern; is it Gorbachov at the United Nations or a guest speaker at the local "C.W.A.?' In another: is that a face or, like the infamous "grassy-knoll" photograph, a possible trick of dappled shadows. We are in the realm of Antonioni's Blow Up where even photographic reality is subjective.
In a sense, Peter Burgess is tracing the blurred outline of private life, that ambiguous area where the ideologies of mass culture intrude. There is something of the old-fashioned McLuhanist in him, the belief in the individual as a global villager. But village life in Burgess's construction lacks tranquility, the peace ruptured by the harsh tones of a dominant ideology.

In the first known decision of its type in the common law world, the Federal Court of Australia has held that a ratings agency owes a duty of care to potential investors. On November 5, 2012, the Federal Court of Australia handed down its landmark decision in the matter of Bathurst Regional Council v Local Government Financial Services Pty Ltd (No 5) [2012] FCA 1200[1] ("Bathurst"). The court ruled that global ratings agency Standard & Poor's ("S&P") had misled or deceived investors and was negligent by assigning S&P's highest rating of AAA to a volatile structured finance product arranged by investment bank ABN Amro Bank NV ("Amro"), known as Constant Proportion Debt Obligations ("CPDO"). As a result of the decision, investors who relied upon that rating could recover losses from S&P.
Bathurst involved a claim made by 12 Local Councils in the State of New South Wales (the "Investors") against S&P, Amro, and municipal financial advisor Local Government Financial Services ("LGFS") for losses suffered by the Investors as a result of their investment in the CPDO. It was submitted by the Investors, and accepted by the Federal Court, that they had been induced to invest in the CPDO in reliance upon, among other things, the AAA rating that S&P had assigned to the CPDO. Given the high volatility of the CPDO, the court held that any reasonably competent ratings agency in the position of S&P could not have rated the CPDO with such a high rating on any "rational or reasonable basis," [2] and that as a result of S&P's negligence, the investors suffered loss and damage by relying upon S&P's AAA rating in forming their decision to invest.
In attributing blame to S&P, the court went on to note that the investors were particularly vulnerable in that they could not reasonably protect themselves from any lack of reasonable care by S&P in the assigning of the rating. [3] Indeed, less than two years after purchasing the securities in late 2006, during the global financial crisis, the Local Councils lost more than 90 percent of their original A$17 million invested in the CPDO[4] due to its inherent volatility in the market. The court was also critical of Amro, which it found to have inappropriately influenced S&P and misrepresented information that S&P then relied upon in formulating its incorrect AAA rating of the CPDO. Moreover, the court also ruled that Amro and LGFS had themselves engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct and had breached various other fiduciary and contractual duties owed by them.
Bathurst is a first instance judgment from a single judge in the Federal Court of Australia. Given the serious implications of the judgment for rating agencies, it is likely that the decision will be scrutinized by appellate courts. If the decision stands, it can be expected to encourage other investors in other jurisdictions to pursue ratings agencies. The decision could also lead to significant reforms by financial services regulators in order to "crack down" on the inherent conflicts that presently exist between investment banks and ratings agencies in the arrangement and rating of financial services products.

Women, Children and Youth Affairs Ministry (WCYAM) said it is striving to ensure the right and welfare of children.
Kokobe Abate is a widow struggling to raise her daughter Almaz in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa. The death of her husband hit the family hard, but he had given up on life long before he died.
"I wanted to get an education but my parents were determined to marry me off," says Himanot Yehewala, an Ethiopian girl who was married five years ago at the age of 13.
Visiting health workers in Ethiopia today, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon spotlighted the progress made in improving the health of women and children, while also stressing the need to do more to avoid needless deaths.
Maternal health will be the focus over the next week when Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon begins a four-nation trip that will take the United Nations chief to Côte d'Ivoire, Nigeria, Ethiopia and France, his spokesperson said today.
For millions of Ethiopian children, it's the most cherished moment of their day: a wide-eyed, smiling giraffe hops in front of them, crooning funny songs in a language they can understand.
Ethiopia is cutting back by as much as 90 percent the number of inter-country adoptions it will allow, as part of an effort to clean up a system rife with fraud and corruption. Adoption agencies and children's advocates are concerned the cutbacks will leave many Ethiopian orphans without the last-resort option of an adoptive home abroad.
In situations of chronic food shortage, parents are inclined to give boys a preferential treatment, despite the fact that the health of their daughters suffers more from food insecurity. This is shown by research from the Institute of Tropical Medicine in Ethiopia, appearing in the journal Pediatrics.
High-level Chairs and Commissioners of the new Information and Accountability Commission on Women's and Children's Health have convened for their first meeting at WHO.
An official declaration marking the abandonment of female genital cutting was issued recently in the Amibara and the Awash-Fentale districts of Ethiopia's Afar Region.

At night, the attendees of the seminar meet up at the Bridge Bar in the Renaissance Hotel downtown. The room is packed with seminar attendees with the nightly addition of local hopefuls that drop in to network. A word of caution – do not sign any contracts or shake any hands with someone that promises you the moon. A common downfall of this event is when unsigned artists attend the nightly mixers in hopes of being discovered and they get "wined and dined" by middle aged men in suits that tell them what they want to hear. You can want something so badly that you will trust anyone you hear and believe their words. Put your "street smarts hat" on and go into the crowd confidently yet realistically. Be polite, swap cards, and then go research them. Use the internet, ask around, figure out if they are who they say they are. You wouldn't purchase a car or undergo surgery without doing your research and getting second opinions – give your dreams the same amount of respect and professionalism.
This nightly unwinding session is open to the public and can get very crowded. If you plan to attend this be prepared – bring any or all of the following depending on your purpose:
- business cards – A MUST
- demo cds (artist)
- pitch cds (songwriter)
- bio
- electronic press kit
Country Radio Seminar is also a chance for unsigned artists to study how working artists are promoted. What types of materials are being passed out? How did they decide to market someone? Which artists are featured, why? You have to understand this is a business and there is a rhyme and reason to everything. When you attend CRS, you will have the chance to see live music at the event and at various music venues close to the Convention Center right in downtown. Playing to these crowds is extremely different than playing to fans or even local peers. This is a national event, drawing in people from all over the country and then some. On that stage you are praying that publicists give you good reviews, record labels see you as a threat, or that radios pick you up and play you. If you are an unsigned artist playing a showcase you are hoping for a deal and praying for the write up that declares you the the hottest thing to hit radio in decades. There is an entirely deeper layer of acceptance, pressure, and effort that goes on here.
Ultimately, you have to know why you are there. People are going to ask you what you do, why you are in Nashville, what are your goals, etc. Do you know those answers? You have less than 3 minutes on average for people to get their first impression. With the magnitude of guests roaming the room – you never know how long you will have the ear of someone before their old friend walks up and drags them away. You can't be a salesman but you have to show confidence. You can not waste the opportunity to be in a room full of radio djs, record label executives, publishers, songwriters, publicists, etc… Here are the basics:
- Dress to impress
- Be prepared (with materials/answers)
- Work the room
- Make friends
As much as you are there on a mission, remember though that these people who are attending the daily seminars are worn out. At night, are there to have fun, make friends, and catch up as much as they are there for business. You have to read the person you are talking with. If you aggressively pursue the same musical conversation with everyone you meet, you are going to turn people off and wear them out. If you walk away from this event with a few new friends – that is a success!!! Don't forget – this industry is built on relationships. Sincere conversations will lay stronger foundations than discussions built on self-puffery and bottomless promises.
You could attend CRS with false hopes, hunt for free wine, get drunk and network. That would be one goal. But you don't want to be so drunk that you forget meeting the head of a label or forget that you got kicked out when you got on your hands and knees and begged that same record executive for a record deal. Every year drama like this happens because people don't realize that you are being watched at all times. People are reading you – trying to judge sincerity and interest, watching how you work the room, and seeing how drunk you get. That being said… you could attend CRS with your best foot forward, materials in hand, make some connections, and use it as a learning experience that sharpens your understanding of this town, country radio, and how to get from singing in your shower to Artist of the year. Here are a few words from lieutenant-general in the British Army, writer, and founder of the Scout Movement, Robert Baden-Powell, "Be Prepared… the meaning of the motto is that a scout must prepare himself by previous thinking out and practicing how to act on any accident or emergency so that he is never taken by surprise." Like that Like a boy scout, individuals attending Country Radio Seminar must be prepared for this event… it isn't all about free drinks!

Reader deep thought: If Túrin's story was epic in its melodrama and bitterness, a thousand thousandfold that must be Húrin's lot, for not only was he the horrified, helpless spectator of the entire script Morgoth orchestrated, his part was not ended when his children died. Perhaps the only strand of comfort was his reunion with Morwen before the end. Still, again, Thingol figured greatly; his kingdom brought down utterly, thanks in part to his demise and Melian's departure. Jewel fixation is a dangerous addiction.

Reader: The Silmarillion. Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter 21 "Of Túrin Turambar"
Reader deep thought: No wonder this chapter trumped the one on Beren and Lúthien; the Lay of Leithian was also the shorter compared to the Narn i Hîn Húrin. After reading this chapter, it's beginning to feel like proper measures and superb fortifications against depression are needed to attempt the actual book. Unsurprisingly, the Silmarils again asserted their glittering allure. Still, buried under all the melodrama must be the great wonder of Thingol's about-face on a core tenant of his belief system.

Reader: The Silmarillion. Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter 16 "Of Maeglin"
Reader deep thought: Maeglin's story seemed pitiable: grounded just for wanting to visit the (doing-better) relatives. And yet it also is disturbing he kept so much to himself so well. He was the crafty one, noting the enticing combo of Turgon's lack of sons and one hot daughter so keenly from the get go. His impatience and need to have others bend to his will didn't help his budding privileged entitlement complex. Turgon helped nurture it in fact. Prophetic plot development indeed.

Carey exits News Corp. post
News Corp. co-chief operating officer Chase Carey resigned Thursday, the company
Most recently, Carey had overseen News Corp.'s global satellite operations
and, before that, he was chairman of Fox Television.
A big part of the satellite strategy, of course, was to buy DirecTV Inc. and spin
off News Corp.'s satellite assets into a separate public entity.
When DirecTV went to EchoStar Communications Corp., it put a major crimp in the satellite strategy
News Corp. had envisioned.
Carey said the time was right to "step back" and think about his next career
move in light of the collapsed DirecTV talks.
"The challenges and opportunities just aren't the same," to build a big
satellite distribution company without the DirecTV piece, he added.
Certainly in the near term, News Corp. will not go forward with an initial
public offering for its satellite assets, Carey said.
Carey and other News Corp. sources confirmed that he and chairman
Rupert Murdoch talked about other possible opportunities within News Corp.
But Carey concluded that none of those opportunities matched the scope of the
satellite business he had hoped to build, nor the future ventures he intends to
Murdoch said he accepted Carey's resignation with "great regret."
While Carey looks for the next new thing, careerwise, he'll remain a member
of the News Corp. board and serve as a consultant to the company for one
The television industry's top news stories, analysis and blogs of the day.

Match Report
Here's how The New Saints line-up for tonight's Europa League second qualifying round second leg against Lincoln Red Imps. #UEL pic.twitter.com/AUoFzpNPsm
— The New Saints FC (@tnsfc) August 2, 2018
Goals: Ebbe (82)
Substitutions: Ebbe for Byrne (46), Cieslewicz for Redmond (68), Draper for Holland (79)
Bookings: Holland (78), Lewis (89), Hudson (90+3)
Dean Ebbe grabbed a priceless 82nd minute equalising goal to send The New Saints through to the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League.
For the majority of the match, it looked as though Lincoln Red Imps would hold on to the opening goal they scored in the first-half and send Scott Ruscoe's side out of Europe.
The number 17 was on hand though, latching onto Blaine Hudson's header, to stab the ball home and give TNS a 3-2 aggregate win.
Lincoln had the first attempt of the match with 14 minutes on the clock. After collecting the ball on the edge of the penalty box, Diego Gamiz attempted to find the top corner, but his effort went high over Paul Harrison's crossbar.
It was the home side that enjoyed all of the chances in the first half and caused danger with long throw-ins into the box. With 23 minutes gone, Joseph Chipolina launched one into the 6 yard box which caused problems, but Juanma failed to connect properly with his downwards header.
The trouble for TNS didn't stop there though. Ben Cabango was caught in possession just inside his own half, launching a dangerous counter-attack for the home side. The on-loan Swansea City man would have been relieved to see Tom Holland get back to block a goal bound effort.
The Red Imps took the lead in the 41st minute. A corner from the left was whipped dangerously into the box, and on hand was Montesinos Romero who headed the ball past Paul Harrison and into the net.
That goal made the aggregate score 2-2 and meant The Saints were heading out on away goals.
Scott Ruscoe made a change at the interval, bringing on Dean Ebbe in place of Kurtis Byrne, and almost instantly, the side looked more threatening.
But there was a huge let off in the 50th minute. Pedro Corral took the ball around Blaine Hudson, presenting him with a one on one chance with Paul Harrison. Miraculously though, the Lincoln substitute didn't convert, putting his effort wide of the left hand post.
TNS grew into the match as the second-half progressed. A free-kick delivered by Chris Marriott was met by the head of Blaine Hudson, but the defender couldn't get a strong enough connection on his header and it went harmlessly out for a goal-kick.
With 63 minutes gone, for the first time, Lincoln began to show one or two signs of vulnerability. Substitute Ebbe played a through ball in behind the defence to Edwards. He was forced to take the ball wide though, meaning he needed to try to pick out Mullan in the middle.
Unfortunately for him, Goalkeeper Manuel Soler was on hand to easily collect and bring an end to the attack.
You began to wonder whether it was going to be one of those nights – until the clock hit 82 minutes.
Blaine Hudson was forward following a corner, and in what was almost a role reversal of his goal last Thursday, he headed the ball back across goal and into the danger area.
Waiting in the middle was Dean Ebbe, who calmly stabbed the ball home, grabbing the crucial goal that gave The New Saints a 3-2 aggregate win and sent them through to the third qualifying round.
TNS will now face Danish champions FC Midtjylland at the Cardiff City Stadium on Thursday August 9th, with kick-off scheduled for 19:45.

Many of these Tips came from Lonely Planet Suggestions and I added to them.
Go Overland - Ride Buses or local transportation whenever possible, opposed to planes. Buses in Mexico are Excellent. Their service is much better than Canadian Greyhound. Their ticketing service is excellent and Greyhound would do well to adapt it. Also their security. I love taking the buses in Mexico.
Give Right - I always made an attempt to buy from small stores and spread the wealth around. Lonely Planet recommends you donate to schools, and clinics and avoid giving hand-outs to children in order not to encourage begging. We used to give the children pretty photos.
Buy Local-Eat in Local Restaurants, buy from local small stores.
Use cold showers - avoid hot showers that use wood heat.
Pick up your litter, and if you pack it in, pack it out!
Be Respectful! Especially of local traditions and customs.
Use appropriate attire when visiting churches and local villages
Ask Questions! Learn the customs and ask how not to make mistakes
the other tourists do.

Anywho, while I was waiting for them to get him from the back I noticed a young couple outside spending time with their dog. I quickly realized that they were there with the dog waiting for it to pass on. Needless to say it was emotional to watch and afterwards I went over and gave my condolences. I asked what had happened and they said that they gave there dog a few grapes. I asked if anything else was wrong, was the dog old, etc. They said the dog was 2 years old and in perfect health, they didn't realize grapes were toxic (nor did I). Though my 3 poodles love fruits, human foods, etc after seeing this they are ONLY getting dog food, whether they like it or not.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney (2007)
I'll be famous one day, but for now I'm stuck in middle school with a bunch of morons.
It's a new school year, and Greg Heffley finds himself thrust into middle school, where undersized weaklings share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner, and already shaving. The hazards of growing up before you're ready are uniquely revealed through words and drawings as Greg records them in his diary. (Author's website)

Turkish mezzo-soprano Lori Şen is known for her versatility in many vocal genres, including opera, art song, musical theatre, and jazz, as well as for her teaching and research interests in vocal literature, voice pedagogy, and voice science. Lori was born into and raised in a scientific household in Izmir, Turkey, which led her onto her unique path towards a career in music that began with a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics. Throughout her physics studies at the Middle East Technical University (METU) in Ankara, Turkey, she performed in numerous concerts and shows as a member of "The Company" METU Musical Society and a student of the well-known Bulgarian jazz singer Yıldız Ibrahimova.
Lori's musical experiences at METU amplified her interest in music, which gradually evolved into a desire to pursue a career as a singer. Upon completion of her B.Sc. and M.Ed. degrees in physics, she was accepted as a classical voice major at Dokuz Eylül University State Conservatory of Music in Izmir, Turkey, where she studied with distinguished American soprano Jeanette Thompson for five years. During her undergraduate studies in music, she continued to sing jazz as the vocalist of jazz bands RagBag, In n' Out, and Heaven Experience. She also founded and directed the Jewish Community Choir in Izmir, through which she had the pleasure of making a musical contribution to the community.
The more educated Lori became in singing, the more she was fascinated by the vocal anatomy, as well as the science and mechanics of singing. This led to her graduate studies in vocal pedagogy. She applied for a Fulbright Scholarship in Turkey, and was selected as a grantee to pursue a Master's degree in voice pedagogy in the United States. Lori received her Master of Music in Voice Performance and Pedagogy at Westminster Choir College, in Princeton, NJ, as a Fulbright student, where she studied voice with internationally renowned dramatic soprano Sharon Sweet. She also performed vocal pedagogy and voice science research under the tutelage of Dr. Kathy Price that allowed her to make use of her physics background. Her research has been presented both at The Voice Foundation Symposium (2014, 2015) and the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) National Conference (2014). Lori's operatic appearances at Westminster include Marta/Iolanta, La Ciesca/Gianni Schicchi with Westminster Opera Theater, Pauline/Pique Dame and Prima Donna/Ariadne auf Naxos with Westminster Opera Workshop.
Lori's more recent performances include solo recitals, Angelina/La Cenerentola with Opera Nova, and she was featured as the alto soloist in the Mozart Requiem performance of the Symphony Orchestra of Northern Virginia (SONOVA).
In May 2019, Lori completed her Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Voice Performance at the University of Maryland, College Park, where she studied with Martha Randall and focused on the art song repertoire. Her dissertation, Sephardic Art Song: A Musical Legacy of the Sephardic Disapora, explored the Sephardic Art Song repertoire from the Western classical perspective. Over the past couple of years, she has introduced this repertoire to audiences through solo recitals, in addition to her lectures on the history, language, and culture of the Sephardim, and elements and stylistic features of Sephardic music. Recently, she presented her research at the 14th Barcelona Festival of Song in Barcelona, Spain, the 8th Annual Judeo-Spanish Symposium (UCLAdino) at the University of California, Los Angeles, and Yunus Emre Institute and Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, both in Washington, D.C.
Lori currently teaches as Adjunct Voice Faculty at Frostburg State University and Peabody Preparatory at The Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University. She also has an active performing and teaching schedule in the Washington, D.C. area.

A frequent visit to your local dentist goes a long way in maintaining the condition of your teeth and preventing gum disease. And here's why:
A regular dental health check up will not only help manage the condition of your teeth and gums, it can mean any high priced treatment to fix your teeth and gums is avoided.
Cleansing your teeth of plaque and tartar will also assist in maintaining the health of your pearly whites. Any potential infections can be treated and fixed by the dentist before they become harmful!
So What is Gum Disease?
It is often referred to as Periodontal Disease. It occurs when dental plaque remains on the teeth for a period of time causing inflammation at the gum line. Ongoing inflammation can cause local destructing of the supporting tissues and bone. If untreated, it can be linked to diabetes, heart disease, stroke and other chronic diseases.
Dentist Oakleigh : Signs and Symptoms to Watch Out for With Periodontal Disease
Here are some signs to look out for If you feel that you are suffering from Gum Disease:
- Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing
- Your teeth appear to or feel loose
- Gum tenderness
- Gums are receding or teeth appear longer
- Suffering from bad breath
This can arise due to poor care of your teeth from not brushing and flossing your teeth thoroughly and regularly. If you do have any of the above signs and symptoms, please schedule an appointment with one of our professional dentists at Clarinda Clinic Today on 03 9551 4599
Below are some of the common issues that can trigger gum disease:
> Not brushing your teeth after a meal
> Not flossing your teeth properly and regularly
> Smoking, this is bad for your gums and also your general health
> Excess consumption of alcohol
Put simply, if you do not brush your gum and teeth thoroughly, your gums will be affected. Special care and attention to your teeth must be paid after a meal, especially when pieces of food get stuck between the teeth. Dental flossing is necessary to remove those unwanted items. If no proper dental care is provided these bacteria will create problems for your gum.
If you want to prevent gum disease here's what you need to do now-
Get an electric tooth brush as it can clean the teeth far more efficiently than a normal tooth brush.
> Start a healthy meal routine with less sugar. Drink less sugary drinks like fizzy drinks and juice. Eat less sugary foods. Sugar is bad for your teeth.
> Smoke less. Even better stop smoking. This is a no brainer, as it is better for both your teeth and your overall health.
> Make sure to floss and brush your teeth after every meal, or at least twice a day!
> Please visit your local dentist every 6 months to prevent gum disease and any other kind of dental health problems!

Some Days (Written November 8, 2016)
There are some days when the sky's just right,
And there's something about the feel of the light,
And the air has a smell that so familiar to me
And reminds me of a place where I used to be.
On days like today, when I hear an old song,
I find myself wanting to sing along.
I remember that old, forgotten magic from back then
And think that maybe I can find that place again.
So. I just finished watching Stranger Things. I get the hype. I liked it a lot. And it got me thinking. Nostalgia strikes again. Despite having been born in the mid nineties, I'm in the younger half of a large family- a fact by the merit of which I gain partial eighties kid status. I grew up watching a lot of early nineties' and late eighties' shows. And, more importantly, I was raised very much the same way my fourteen and fifteen years older siblings were. Which is a big part of where this show hit home for me. Me and my friends spent more time running around doing crazy and potentially dangerous things than my parents ever knew. It was assumed we wouldn't do anything too stupid, and we'd be fine. I miss seeing that.
It's not that I wish I were a kid again (not that I don't wish that sometimes), but that I wish the world would remember a little bit of the good that we are leaving behind. I have a good relationship with my parents, and never got into anything I shouldn't- drugs, alcohol, nasty relationships- despite my parents never helicoptering. My oldest brother is absolutely paranoid that he will be reported to child services if he lets his nine and ten year old children play in the front yard unattended- a paranoia brought on by hearing numerous stories of precisely that happening. I don't get it.
(Prepare for a bit of a rant. Skip to the end if you want it summed up.)
My two youngest siblings got to enjoy some helicopter parenting after their immediately older sister nearly died from a very bad brain tumor- the case was on medical miracle shows, even. Not surprisingly, the kids younger than her were somewhat coddled. And you know what? The younger of these two ended up making friends with a camping club that believes in getting boys competent and able to think on their feet, able to figure things out. And you know what? Being away from the helicoptering and coddling, he developed a personality and independence. He thinks things through and carefully considers what he is doing, because he is familiar with situations where there won't be anybody to cover for his mistakes or guide him through his ignorance. He's learned how to figure it out, suck it up, and enjoy himself while doing so. The older of the two (one year older)? She didn't ever find friends or activities like that. She cannot imagine having to figure something out for herself. If it isn't spelled out for her, she can't do it- even if it is spelled out she might not get it. She isn't stupid. In fact, she is very intelligent. She is athletic and musically talented. She just can't do anything without somebody holding her hand. The format of a webpage she uses all the time changed the other day, so she called me up while I was at work so that I could explain to her how to use the new page. It was an entirely cosmetic changes. The page worked exactly like it always had, and the buttons hadn't moved. But that's just how she is. And if things don't go her way, she breaks down and throws a fit. She can't handle consequences for her actions, or figure things out for herself.
Moral of my overly long story? Two kids who are both intelligent, athletic, musically talented, and popular. One can't do anything without somebody holding her hand, and throws a fit when she doesn't get what she wants or when things don't work out. The other will work through things for himself, only asking for help once he has made certain he can't figure it out. He understands that he won't always get what he wants- certainly won't get something he hasn't earned- and knows when he is getting what he earned. Why are they so different? One was told to suck it up and get over it when they didn't get what they liked, and was told to do it themselves. The other was told someone else would do it for them, and had people apologize and offer to make it up to her when she didn't get what she wanted. Both were every bit as loved by their parents and us older siblings, and both love and respect their parents and us older siblings. I'm not talking about loving a kid or depriving them of love, I'm talking about teaching a kid to understand that you work for what you want and pay for what you do.
Ok, rant over. And yes, I know I sound like a crotchety person talking about what life was like back in my day. All the same, I was never coddled until after I graduated college and I hated it. Help me, keep my best interest in mind, worry about me, if you love me. Don't try and lock me in a padded cage and live my life for me.

Harvey Pratt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harvey Phillip Pratt (born 1941) is an American forensic artist and Native American artist, who has worked for over forty years in law enforcement, completing thousands of composite drawings and hundreds of soft tissue postmortem reconstructions.[1] To this end, his work has assisted in thousands of arrests and hundreds of identification of unidentified human remains throughout America.[1] His expertise in witness description drawing, skull reconstruction, skull tracing, age progression, soft tissue postmortem drawing and restoration of photographs and videos have aided law enforcement agencies both nationally and internationally.[2] Pratt also assists investigations though training classes, besides lecturing before universities, colleges, schools and civic groups.
Pratt was born in El Reno, Oklahoma and is a member of the Cheyenne & Arapaho tribes where he is recognized as one of the traditional Cheyenne Peace Chiefs,[3] also known as the Council of Forty-Four. He has been recognized by the Cheyenne People as an Outstanding Southern Cheyenne.[4] He is the great grandson of scout, guide, interpreter and Sand Creek massacre survivor, Edmund Guerrier.[5] He is the great great grandson of American frontiersman, William Bent.[6] Pratt lives in Guthrie, Oklahoma.
Forensic Art
Example of Postmortem Drawing by Harvey PrattPratt began his career with Oklahoma's Midwest City Police Department in 1965, where, as a police officer, he completed his first composite drawing that resulted in an arrest and conviction.[3] He joined the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation in 1972 as a narcotics investigator and retired in 1992 as an Assistant Director.[3] He is now employed with the agency as a full time forensic specialist.[1]
Pratt's forensic expertise has contributed to many high profile cases: The Green River Killer (Gary Ridgeway),[7] Oklahoma Girl Scout Murders (Gene Leroy Hart),[8] Henry Lee Lucas and Ottis Toole,[1] Bobby Joe Long,[1] The I-5 Killer (Randall Woodfield),[1] Tommy Ward and Karl Fontenot,[9] Tommy Lynn Sells,[10] World Trade Center 1993 bombings,[1] Ted Bundy,[3] Sirloin Stockade Murders (Roger Dale Stafford, Verna Stafford and Harold Stafford),[11] Joe Fischer,[1] Roger Wheeler murder,[12] the Oklahoma City bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building,[1] Donald Eugene Webb,[1] Oklahoma State Fair Abducted Girls (Roy Russell Long),[1] and Randolph Dial.[3]
In the mid 1980s, Pratt developed the soft tissue postmortem drawing method.[13] Using this method, the forensic artist draws or paints on the photograph of a victim to repair tissue damage or decomposition. The drawing repairs the trauma to the victim so that the final image will be more presentable when asking for law enforcement's or the public's assistance in identification.
Native American Art
Pratt encompasses painting, sculpting, wood carving, mural painting, bronze work, architectural design and graphic design.[14] He is a self-taught artist and creates in the media of oil, acrylic, watercolor, metal, clay and wood.[14] His artwork is a blend of his forensic art and law enforcement experience with traditional Native American environment.
Pratt has received awards for his artwork at Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonials, Gallup, New Mexico, and Red Earth Festival, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.[4] In 2005, he was given the title "Master Artist" by Red Earth, as well as being selected as the Red Earth 2005 Honored One.[3]
His works are in many permanent collections, including the National Park Service, the Smithsonian Institution[4], the Sequoyah National Research Center, and the University of Oklahoma. He accepted state appointments to the Oklahoma Arts Council by Governor Frank Keating and Governor Brad Henry.[3]

Harvey is a very special individual who shows a sensitive attention to tradition. He has a sideline in doing Bigfoot art and I reccomend the online store on his site.
Basically in this blog I am championing Harvey's art because he is showing Bigfoot to be about the way I take Bigfoot to be: in the Bigfoot as typical of the Eastern United States and Canada specifically. Harvey works in Oklahoma and I work in Indiana, but as I understand it, we are both talking about the same sort of Bigfoot: the same sort of Bigfoot encounterd in the Apallachian Mountains, in Florida as the more human kind of "Skunk Ape" and the same type that Ivan Sanderson was describing as Wendigo, the Boreal Bigfoot. I am appending illustrations of his Bigfoot art here because I understand it to be a good representation of the shape of the skull and bodily proportions of such creatures. The effect is extremely close to the Minnesota Iceman. And Harvey includes a Bigfoot wearing a wolfskin and one wearing deer antlers in his group shot "Yesterday, Today and Forever", and I can even go with him on that part, too, since I recently posted a CFZ blog which pointed out exactly those features.
I am proud to present Harvey's art here and I just wanted you to know that I specifically asked his permission before posting this blog, out of respect. His permission came last night and I am very happy to go forward with the publication of the blog now. Thanks for everything, Harvey.
Best Wishes, Dale D.

The so-called 'secret American bar' offers retro ambience and untaxed American craft suds
I don't remember the very first time I heard about a bar hidden away somewhere in Bangkok that was run by the US government, but it was at least 15 years ago. The stories were often so vague that when I finally found the place myself, I realized many of the people who told me about it had never actually been there.
It was supposed to be a dark den where US military types gathered to wash away the memories of black ops with real American beer. There was once a time when you didn't find American beer anywhere in Bangkok, except during the annual American independence day celebrations, when the US embassy flew in cases of Budweiser and other mass-produced brands that were hardly desirable to begin with.
Still, my curiosity was aroused, and I always wanted to check the bar out—assuming it truly existed and I'd be able to get in. Some said the bar was mostly used by Marine embassy guards, and that you needed a US government ID to enter. It wasn't until I was working at the Bangkok Post eight years ago that Scott Herron, an American who helps run the Post website, gave me the whole story.
Scott was a regular at the bar, and explained that it was located inside the fortified compound of the Joint US Military Advisory Group (JUSMAG) on Sathorn. Not only was it open to non-military, it was open to anyone, of any nationality.
"All you need is photo ID," he said. "And it's not just Budweiser. There's a fridge full of craft beers, and they're cheap."
A week later I paid my first visit to the compound at the corner of Sathorn and Sathorn Soi 1. After pressing a buzzer outside and passing through two reinforced steel doors, I left my Thai driving license with a guard standing in a caged room, in exchange for visitors pass. After passing through one more steel door, I found myself in the hidden beer sanctuary.
Since then I've been back many times, enjoying such heady brews as Redhook ESB, 8 Ball Stout, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Anchor Steam, New Belgium Fat Tire, Dogfish Head, and Samuel Adams Boston Lager, all of which are rarely seen elsewhere in Bangkok. The bar also stocks craft labels more commonly distributed in Bangkok (through the noble efforts of local outfit Beervana) such as Rogue, Stone, and Anderson Valley.
Beers and ales are kept in a glass-door fridge, where you help yourself—just like at Wong's—and then pay at the bar. Prices run 100 to 140 baht per bottle, less than half the price you'd pay for the same beers at any other bar or bottle shop in the city, simply because JUSMAG is able to import and sell American products without paying import duties.
A full bar of American liquors, plus a limited selection of wines, are also on hand. For a few months I was ordering Blanton's Bourbon here for 80 baht a shot, but sadly the bar doesn't seem to stock it anymore. Lately, Knob Creek and Woodford's Reserve have made regular appearances.
The barroom itself looks like it could have dropped out of the sky from Indiana, with its polished-wood high bar chairs, pool tables, large-screen TVs. American flag bunting and assorted memorial plaques. The Thai bartender here can be a bit cranky at times, no doubt because he handles all the serving, drink mixing, and cashiering alone.
The bar opens at 3:30 pm, and the clientele varies as the night proceeds. From around 4 to 7pm, three or four retired military men are usually sitting at the bar, quietly rehashing the old days or talking sports and politics. As they trickle out into the night, a younger crowd of Thais, embassy employees, and savvy beer aficionados arrive in small groups. The well-maintained pool tables are a popular draw.
The primary function of Jusmag Thailand, established in 1953, is to arrange and oversee US-Thai military training. Although commonly referred to as "Jusmag Bar," the watering hole is officially called Aderholt's Annex, named for the late Brig. Gen. Harry "Heine" Aderholt, a former Jusmag Thailand commander and heavily decorated air commando known for air-dropping agents behind enemy lines in clandestine night missions during several American conflicts. According to the Air Commando Association website, in later years Aderholt was commonly seen "wearing a safari suit, a five-baht gold chain, a gold Rolex, sunglasses, and possibly carrying a demolition knife".
One night when I was cozied up to the bar, Australian club designer Ashley Sutton and BK Magazine editor-in-chief Gregoire Glachant strolled in. I could tell by the way they looked around the room that they hadn't been there before. After they were seated at a table, I walked up behind Sutton and whispered into his ear, "Is it true you're planning to open a new bar with the same retro interior, but charging 400 baht per beer?"

It is very true that the Executive Director, Col. Alagi Sanneh " The Guy with always a PISTOL in his pocket" who has no knowledge or
experience even about Basic First Aid much more on Disaster Management, is a close relative of the former Dictator Yaya Jammeh. From Jail with Lang Tombong Tamba and others, he was directly brought to the agency to help Yaya Jammeh to mismanage the agency and what he first did was to terminate the services of many staff members who knows a lot about the agency leaving among few including his deputy who does all the job for the Agency, if you could recall sometime last year it was reported in the on-line media that Col. Sanneh was seen departing and crying at the State House after having a meeting with Yaya Jammeh and when he was asked by a friend, he told the friend that he was asked by Jammeh to work out a certain amount for him Jammeh with a date time given to him to do so.
At first, Dictator Yaya Jammeh had to remove Mr. Khan, Former Executive Director, a very hard working and upright character. The dismissed staff know much about the donors of the agency and other forms of income and could be the best witnesses. Within a short period of time Col. Alagi Sanneh, bought a completed compound in which the tenants that were renting in that premises were
given a very short notice to vacate. This compound where he resides most of the time is located in Kunkujang Keitaya just exactly opposite Imam Bittaye's compoud. He used to slaughter Bull and distribute the meat as charity within that locality esp. the mosque very close to his compound.
On its black gate, used to be written " SANNEH KUNDA' and every child in that area can attest to that. It was surprising to see that Sanneh Kunda painted to black thus erasing the writing immediately Jammeh left the country. The pistol he has should be taken from him and his premises thoroughly searched.
The same Sanneh is well known for transporting sand and stone to diverse areas esp. Fonis using NDMA Trucks. The truck drivers could confirm that. NDMA that use to attract lot of funding from different donors is one of the Institutions that needs to be audited ASAP and both previous and current staff of the agency investigated.
