Jeremy Hunt celebrated International Nurses Day. Twitter reacted excellently
Twitter gives the Health Secretary its considered thoughts
You can imagine the scene at the Conservative Press HQ.
"It's international nurses day tomorrow guys."
"Oh dear. They really hate us at the moment don't they? What with the salary cuts, bursary cuts, unpaid extra hours, the highly-dubious, utterly evidence-free move to implement a 'seven day NHS' just because it was a good soundbite in the manifesto, the general belief that they're deliberately underfunding and mismanaging the NHS to make it seem like privatisation is the only option so that our mates can pile in and get rich, don't they?"
"Yeah. They do a bit."
"Still, we can't not acknowledge it's happening can we? That'll look even worse."
"Hmmm. Yeah, we'd better put something out."
"OK. Here goes."
*Presses send on tweet. Runs away*
Naturally, Twitter did its thing. Gloriously.

Anyone familiar with Joan Walsh knows that she's an inveterate tweeter and San Francisco Giants fan. Anyone familiar with Joan Walsh will also know that she is no longer the Editor-in-Chief of Salon.com, that she left that position more than a year ago in order to write a book, the publication of which we still await, and that she, instead, became the Editor-at-Large of Salon. Anyone familiar with Joan Walsh will know that about five months ago, Joan found herself in a little kerfuffle with some African American tweeters on Twitter, who took exception to some of the things Joan had said regarding some points she raised in an article written for Salon around the time the President announced his intention to run for re-election, something that seemed, particularly, to irritate Walsh.
You can read about the Twitter war here, but the ultimate result of the exchange between Joan and the blogger/tweeters was that she inadvertantly blurted out something that she'd obviously been feeling for a long time, possibly all her life – that she resented African Americans who say they are the Democratic Party's base. Walsh tried in a subsequent blog, to backtrack her comments, even misrpresenting Ishmael Reed's brilliant Op-Ed What Progressives Don't Understand about Obama.
What's particularly prescient, considering the kerfuffle concerning white liberals and racism coming from the Left, which erupted last week, was something Joan wrote in that infamously whiny blog of April 5th:-
I know some people are dreaming about a magical unicorn campaign by Russ Feingold or Howard Dean; I don't see it. And let me be clearer about how I believe a primary challenge would hurt Democrats: I think many, maybe most, African American Democrats would stay with Obama, and the racial tension that made 2008 painful would be radioactive this time around.
On the other hand, let me say this: I deeply resent people who insist that white progressives who criticize Obama are deluding themselves that they're his "base," when his "base" is actually not white progressives, but people of color. Ishmael Reed laid out this pernicious line in December, in the New York Times, after many progressives, of every race, criticized Obama's tax cut compromise. Reed compared "white progressives" who wanted more from Obama to spoiled children, compared with black and Latino voters "who are not used to getting it all." I've been getting a similar message from some of my correspondents, and it's depressingly divisive.
That's actually not what Reed said at all, and if you bother to look at the above link, you'll see that. You'll also realize that Joan was willfully and more than a little bit maliciously misrepresenting Reed's words and, in doing so, acting like a true concern troll. In other words, she's not worried about divisiveness, she's sowing it.
What a lot of people may not realize, however, is that Joan Walsh has been plagued by her perceived problems with race, since her days as a disgruntled Hillary supporter in the wake of Barack Obama's historic nomination in 2008, nonetheless for her back-handed quasi-defense of Harriet Christian's indefensible remarks about "an inadequate black male", when Walsh wrote this:-
We saw the face of the angry white female backlash against Obama over the weekend, and it was hard not to turn away. On Friday, Geraldine Ferraro complained in a Boston Globe Op-Ed that she's been demonized for saying that Obama's presidential run benefited from his being black, and called her treatment "reverse racism." On Saturday, Harriet Christian replaced Ferraro as the overwrought voice of white female resentment. There she was at the Democratic National Committee meeting, screaming at reporters that Democrats were about to nominate "an inadequate black male who would not have been running had it not been a white woman that was running for president."
Beyond Christian's deplorable reference to Obama as an "inadequate black male" was a wail worth hearing. She also said, "I'm proud to be an older American woman!" I can feel her pain. Reading the sexist attacks on Clinton and her white female supporters, as well as on female journalists and bloggers who've occasionally tried to defend her or critique Obama, has been, well, consciousness-raising. Prejudice against older women, apparently, is one of the last non-taboo biases. I've been stunned by the extent to which trashing Clinton supporters as washed up old white women is acceptable.
Ta-Nehisi Coates, however, in his Atlantic column, heard the dog whistles loud and clear:-
Walsh apparently thinks Harriet's description of Obama as an inadequate black male, "was a wail worth hearing." I'm physically sick reading that. I never much agreed with Walsh's take on the Clinton's, but for my money, she just fell into Pat Buchanan territory. Anyone who thinks there's something to take from someone who says it's fine to resent black people racially, who claims that there's something worth hearing in describing the first black man to ever win a major party's nomination as "an inadequate black male" is the moral equivalent of a racist to me.
So that's that, then. There's a history of Joan having a perceived problem with race – specifically, with a biracial man who identifies as African American, sitting in the Oval Office; and as we all know from the late Lee Atwater's political strategy, perception is reality.
And now, earlier this week, when Melissa Harris-Perry's seminal article appeared in the online version of The Nation, the only Professional Left voices to raise a cri de coeur against Harris-Perry's theory that maybe, just maybe there might be a soupcon of racism mixed into the recipe of disillusionment, defeat and utter distaste emanating from the Progressive Left in their litany of complaints about all-things-Obama, came from Salon.com, with Joan Walsh leading the way.
If there were anything said at all by the editors/bloggers of Huffington Post, Firedoglake or Daily Kos, it was nothing significant. Everyone was talking, initially, about Joan's disjointed and meanderingly instantaneous response to her "professional friend" Harris-Perry, which sounded an awful lot like what it was – a screed from a woman who used her professional association with a woman of colour as a shield whilst she used this "friendship" to hammer home the pithy excuse that friends are "entitled" to criticize one another.
Now, if you're familiar with Joan in anyway from Twitter to her Facebook page, you'll know that Walsh, like so many celebrity talking heads treat with disdain any disagreement emanating from the hoi-polloi. She punches down, not mincing words. Plebs whose opinions differ from Joan's are told, in no uncertain terms, to "get help." She punched down on her "friend" Melissa, not expecting that her "friend" might punch back, and preciptously. In response to Joan's demand that Harris-Perry name and shame the people she thought were dropping by the wayside in supporting the President on the basis of race, the professor replied:-
I believe we must be careful and judicious in our conversations about racism. But I also believe that those who demand proof of interpersonal intention to create a racist outcome are missing the point about how racism works. Racism is not exclusively about hooded Klansmen; it is also about the structures of bias and culture of privilege that infect the left as well.
Which brings us to a second common strategy of argument about one's racial innocence: the "I have black friends" claim. I was shocked and angered when Salon's Joan Walsh used this strategy in her criticism of my piece. Although I disagree with her, I have no problem with Walsh's decision to take on the claims in my piece. I consider it a sign of respect to publicly engage those with whom you disagree. I was taken aback that Walsh emphasized the extent of our friendship. Walsh and I have been professionally friendly. We've eaten a few meals. I invited her to speak at Princeton and I introduced her to my literary agent. We are not friends. Friendship is a deep and lasting relationship based on shared sacrifice and joys. We are not intimates in that way. Watching Walsh deploy our professional familiarity as a shield against claims of her own bias is very troubling. In fact, it is one of the very real barriers to true interracial friendship and intimacy.
Joan's response wasn't the only reaction from Salon to Harris-Perry. Salon's latest bullyboy blogger, David Sirota wrote a response to Harris-Perry's original argument, which was dripping with condescension and ad hominem. Whilst he saw "no evidence" of white liberal racism in their abandonment of the President – he wouldn't, would he? – he did see enough to reckon that Melissa Harris-Perry was an "arrogant elitist," and he even made a KKK analogy.
I would really like to take this opportunity to inform Mr Sirota, another eminent bigmouth from the Progressive end of the political spectrum who can accept no other opinion differing to his own, that "arrogant elitism" is very much Northernspeak for "uppity." So, yes, David, you just inadvertantly proved the professor's point.
But the piece de resistance was actually the third Salon article, Gene Lyons's "Obama's Bridge Too Far." I'd provide the link, but it appears that Salon or Lyons has removed the article. Ne'mind. I deconstructed the essence of it here.
Once again, Harris-Perry's premise was proven, and, yet again, by a Salon writer. Lyons, a noted liberal writer and former academic, wrote one of the most distastefully racist and sexist polemics against another professional that I've ever to read in my life.
Immediately, his blog hit the cybersphere, it went viral, with many people from the Left, of all races, demanding an instant apology from Salon – either from the publication's returning CEO, its current editor-in-chief, Kerry Lauerman, or its better-known Editor-at-Large, Joan Walsh.
Now, on Facebook, Lyons is using the Palin tactic of hunkering down, assuming the victim posture and misrepresenting the facts for his own benefit. In response to messages from support (all of which seem to come from white, affluent, fiftysomething males), Lyons replies:-
It appears the article could cost me the Salon gig. They posted a rebuttal by a pal of hers whose idea of an argument was to call me a motherfucker, invited a reply, but haven't used it.
Totally wrong. Lyons is referring to a piece written in response to his blog by Elon James White (link here), which was published in Salon on Friday. White is an African-American broadcaster and sometime contributor to Salon, who, ironically, had Joan on his program, "Blacking It Up," only days after her initial run-in on Twitter with the African American commentators. In fact, at that time, James was supportive of Walsh in that incident and defended her on air.
But not this time, I gather. White writes:-
You can like Dr. Harris-Perry's theory or not, but 1) its a theory not an etched in stone condemnation and 2) it's based in reality. It's based in feelings many in the Black community have wondered when hearing attacks from White liberals. It's based in issues that have been previously pointed out within the progressive movement. You could make the argument that race has nothing to do with White liberals issues with Obama and I wouldn't have an issue with that. But to dismiss one of the great Black public intellectuals of our time because it made you feel uncomfortable is completely ridiculous.
And that's the problem. Dr. Harris-Perry made folks feel uncomfortable.
White liberals enjoy the concept that they are immune to accusations of racism. They're LIBERALS. They obviously are totally and completely not racist so how could you ever dare even pose the possibility of such a thing? Matter of fact? Since White liberals are so "obvi" not racist they can dismiss this feeling amongst Black folks as silly and tell them to stop it.
White nails the problem succinctly in the highlighted paragraph. In fact, several times when I've raised the possibility of racism on the Left, I've had many noted Progressives tell me, in no uncertain terms, that as Progressives, as Democrats, there is no racism on the Left. We. Simply. Are. Not. Racists.
The purge of the rural Southern working class, an action which propelled them directly into the clutches of the Republican party, plus the propagation of the myth popular on the Progressive Left that all Southerners are racist, neo-Confederates, may have removed one overt type of racism from the old Democratic party; but it was simply papered over, tarted up and replaced with a more subtle, more patronizing and more insidious type. The smiling cobra brand. The huckster-shuckster jokes of Michael Moore and Bill Maher. The "I've got black friends" wail of a Joan Walsh. The "don't-be-silly-go-and-sit-down" placebo. The unconscious use of epithets to describe the President which emasculate him in the way traditionally originating during and after the slavery era – promulgating the image of the morally weak and intellectually inferior black man. A coward. The incessant need of bloggers, pundits and critics from the Left to weigh in on what the President should say in a speech, even to the point of constructing a makeshift Oval Office in order to instruct him how on how to say it.
The President can never make an issue about his race. He has to be above that, and he's shown that he is; but that doesn't mean that the issue of race can't be discussed; and, specifically, we have to tackle the problem as it exists on the Left. The Right, we can deal with – we know who and what they are.
And this begs the initial step of requiring Salon, or someone representing Salon in an official way, to write an apology for Lyons's disturbing article.
First of all, Lyons won't – although the article appears to have been removed. He's impervious to its effect, as evidenced in an interview he gave to Joy-Ann Reid of The Grio, still insisting that Harris-Perry sees everything as a question of race.
In this case, everybody who's angry about [the Salon column] is African-American, and everybody who's favorable to it is not. I think there's a perception problem, but both sides have a perception problem. Don't accuse people of racism and expect them to curl up in a ball or expect them to frantically try to prove their innocence. You've got
to be more careful about symbols than I was, but don't expect me to prove that I'm 'ipso-facto guilty.
Well, Lyons is wrong. I'm not African American, and I thought his article atrocious; furthermore, I know several other non-African Americans who thought the same; so Lyons is still seeing things as they were some forty-odd to fifty years ago.
Life has changed.
And certainly, Reid has a way of eliciting a rather different response from Joan "It's-All-About-Me" Walsh too, regarding this:-
"I kind of won back my friends by defending the president [against right wing attacks] and calling out others' racism," said Walsh."But because I disagree slightly on the role of the race [in critiques of the president,] I'm now an enemy too."
Saying she is often unfairly lumped in with relentless Obama critics like Sirota and fellow Salon columnist Glenn Greenwald, Walsh conceded that many liberals, including her, may have placed too-high expectations on candidate Obama.
"I've said that on some level I probably was expecting a 'savior hero' rather than a transactional Chicago pol who is going to make me happy one day and unhappy the next," Walsh said. "What I have a problem with is the extent to which people associate racism with fair criticism of a president who hasn't done what some of us hoped he would do."
More of the self-victimisation which seems to pervade both political extremes these days, but Joan admits that, like others who purport to be noted political commentators, she seems to have regressed past political immaturity to veritable adolescence in the Progressives' interminable search for the Magic Negro.
Message to Joan: The President ain't Bagger Vance.
But now Joan's being assailed, yet again, on Twitter, by all those pesky Obama supporters, asking that she, at least, apologize to Harris-Perry, on behalf of Salon for the atrocious Lyons article.
It's clear that Lyons won't, himself. Although he's been invited to respond to Elon James White, he made it clear on his Facebook page that he won't.
Joan, on the other hand, is doing an apt impersonation of a snarky ostritch on Twitter, fending off demands that she apologize, by reminding people again and again that Salon was nothing to do with her anymore, that she was no longer the editor. Couldn't they read?
Well, it's true she's not the editor; however, she is the Editor-at-Large, and every definition I've read of that vague position states that its holder does have certain input into editorial content and the responses to it. And Joan Walsh is the one person with whom the public openly associates with Salon. In her capacity as political contributor to MSNBC, she's always introduced as "Salon's Joan Walsh." And whilst Lyons now asserts that he's a syndicated columnist, Salon never asserted as such.
Unless Joan either encouraged or tacitly approved Lyons racist and sexist hitpiece on Melissa Harris-Perry, Joan is well within her rights by virtue of the position she still holds at Salon, to write a formal apology to Harris-Perry for the smear on her character which the magazine published.
But at the end of the day, somehow, such a piece would only devolve into a pity party for Joan Walsh, oppressed, affluent and mau-mau'd white woman.

Our fearsome foursome is split into threes. Fearful that he will be caught, Archie hits the road and ends up at a farm just outside of Riverdale. Betty finds herself up against a formidable foe from her past and Veronica makes a risky business decision.
Archie and Jug end up on a farm that eerily reminds me of Hershel's farm from The Walking Dead. This farm and it's inhabitants, Laurie Lake and her younger gun-totting sister, Gracie, lure Archie in, while Jug listens to his gut and wants to skedaddle asap. Of course, Archie decides to start helping out on the farm because why not?!? The farm is located just outside of Riverdale near a town called Athens. We come to find out that the town of Athens is void of any men and is essentially deserted. While he decides to take a few pics of the ghost town, he sees some familiar symbols all over the buildings. This older woman states that the town went downhill after the drug-laced fizzle rocks appeared in town as the symbols appeared. He also sees that the locals are playing Gryphons and Gargoyles and they tip him off that all the men are off building a prison and a facility to make drug-laced fizzle rocks. Hiram has his claws in Athens. Therefore, Archie is not safe at all.
This episode clearly shows how easily Archie is swayed. For some reason, he keeps making these decisions that always lead him down a path of potential death. It was surprising to see that he did not fall for Laurie, but the pull of Veronica and the turmoil that Hiram caused has him fully tethered to Riverdale, emotionally. Of course, this does not mean he does not suffer. He should have listened to his Jiminy Cricket, Jughead.
When Jug returns to the farm, he sees that Hiram is at the farm and he rushes toward the barn where he sees that his ole pal has been tied up and awaiting his slaughter. Luckily for Archie, his friend rescues him and they live to see another day.
From all of this, only one thing can be surmised…Hiram uses Gryphons and Gargoyles as a way to push his fizzle rocks, which may look like candy, but they are the new jingle Jangle…but he is not the Gargoyle King. Who is that? Last week, in one of the images you could see that the Gargoyle King had a face and that face may be someone we are familiar with…Claudius? This makes sense as Clifford was well entrenched in the local drug trade in season 1.
Now, Jug and Arch are heading to Jug's Mom and Jellybean.
When we turn to Veronica, she has made the move to move out after she learns that Minetta has disappeared. So, she moves into her speakeasy. She realizes that she needs move income, so she works with Elio to turn the speakeasy into a casino one night a week. Hiram is delusional in a way to make it look like he is innocent and that all he cares about is his family. This puts a strain on Veronica as she no longer has the safety net of her parents home. She is out in the wild on her own and therefore a sitting duck. Elio of course is setting his sights on Veronica, Pops, and Le Bonne Nuit. But, she knew what he was up to due to her Dad was tipping her off. She scammed the scammer with his help. This help makes her think that maybe her Dad is not as bad as she first thought. However, that changes when Pop tells her they found, what they believe, is the body of Minetta. Unfortunately, there is no way to id the body due to it missing its head and hands.
Now it is Betty's turn. She is taking an ink blot test and every singe one reminds her of one of her cases. Wait, is this the medical facility that was used by FX's Legion. Well, the nuns give the kids fizzle rocks when they behave. Then, Ethel moves into her room and she believes she is the Queen Bee of the place. Nothing deters Betty from investigating. Especially when she sees Claudius Blossom?!?!? and Hiram meeting there. This bit of info drives her to learn the truth. Unfortunately for Betty, Ethel is not only delusional (She has a Gargoyle King Mood Board WTF?!) …she is also relentless as she thwarts every attempt of Betty getting to the truth and out of dodge. This also includes faking a seizure, which allows her to be taken to the infirmary. There she learns that Hiram is testing the Fizzle Rocks on the kids. Unwillingly, she gets her shot to meet the Gargoyle King and it fades to black and we hear a scream. Then we see drugged out Betty take the ink blot test again and she is truthful.
She has taken the Kool-Aid and it is all down hill for her and the rest of the kids of Riverdale…or so we think.
Also, what's with these nuns?!?!?
Next: Outbreak – Jughead and Archie head to Toledo to visit Jughead's mother and sister; Betty inches closer to uncovering the truth about Gryphons and Gargoyles; Veronica and Cheryl take on Hiram after more students fall victim to seizures.

Silhouette Wedding So Sweet!
Nestled in the famous 17 mile drive in lovely Carmel, California the most intimate, special wedding was designed by a secret society event planner extraordinaire, and she researched talent and selected American top silhouette artist, Cindi Harwood Rose, from extensive research on unique wedding ideas. Although, C.H. Rose, lives in Houston, she readily accepts silhouette bookings in New York, California, Colorado, London, or Virginia, as she has family there. The exquisite wedding included catered Italian food, the best wines, an Italian opera singer, a musical trio, abundant flowers, and a scrumptious 5 course dinner. This catered dinner included, hand-made gourmet pizza, lobster, two different steaks, salads, cheeses, and beautiful desserts. Cindi Rose topped the wedding cake with her silhouette art-- lovely cut profiles of a couple looking at one another. Silhouette touches were, placed in romantic locations throughout the lovely grounds and in the interior of the mansion. As usual, silhouette artist, Cindi Rose arrived early to eliminate stress for the wedding planner. This was a small, intimate wedding and the distinguished silhouette artisan not only entertained everyone at the groom's reception, it was a conversation piece. Cindi is a silhouette artist of over 35 years' experience and is from a line of four generations of artists. She had formerly done her art at both Disneyland and Disneyworld, becoming, not only the fastest silhouette artist in amusement park history, and history, but one of the most accurate, and detailed artists. "I really see that everyone is unique as they are," Cindi says. Style is important to this skilled fine artist, and accuracy, no two of her silhouettes ever look the same. Her silhouette art work is not the generic style you may find that does not contain details, or is computer generated or drawn first, then, cut. These are delicate heirlooms and keepsakes! Cindi, a natural born artist, merely looks at you, and does not sketch, she cuts the profile directly out of thin black paper, then mounts it on acid free cardstock, signing each piece. She offers the bride and groom lovely oval picture frames of their silhouettes facing one another, as a wedding gift from the premier artist.
"It was wonderful, to go to Carmel as a working vacation," Cindi admitted. She said her husband, Franklin, played golf at The Inn at Spanish Bay, while she did wedding silhouettes. Cindi did two silhouettes of each guest, and of course, the bride and groom, one for everyone to keep, and one for a guest book signed by each guest for the newlyweds to cherish forever! She brought her own camera and captured a few shots to share with the many who tie the knot for bliss ever after. . . silhouettes by the sea, and by C. H. Rose!

Five most important steps to a Wonderful Wedding by Cindi silhouettes
Five most important steps to a Wonderful Wedding by Cindi silhouettes
Get Engaged, Get ready, Get set, Go, Stay Focused on Love!
Silhouette artist Cindi's Five Key Wedding steps to Forever Bliss!
1. Get Engaged! Have you ever looked at the best wedding magazines such as Premier Bride, The Knot Magazine, Wedding Style, Get Married, Martha Stewart Wedding, or Inside Wedding, and tried to come up with a unique wedding idea for your special day? So many people dream of their wedding day, and start planning it even before they have met their mate. This article is not for the dreamer, it is for someone planning an actual wedding. After, you and your special someone has decided to wed, it is important to find an agreeable date, a judge or clergy, a cantor or special wedding singer, photographer, and book the venue (even if it a secret elopement). The venue can be a destination, a place of worship, a ranch, a restaurant, hotel, home, country club, ranch or farm. You have to figure out "your bride and groom signature." Let's call it " the bliss theme." Decide if you want a wedding videographer, this can be very expensive, and you need to put this in your budget. Men, you have plenty of time, to figure out the honeymoon, and it is your responsibility to pay for that, the ring (bride should buy you a groom's ring), and the rehearsal dinner. Don't worry, the wedding can often cost more than all that. Bridezillas- contain your inner diva, don't start acting like a brat already! Remember always during the next steps, why you love the person you will marry, keep that on your mind 24/7.
2. Get Ready! Pick your theme-- creative theme ideas are: vintage, classic, modern, rustic, over-the-top, elegant, or storybook. Themes can be a fruit, a season, or even your favorite book, or classic silhouettes! One unique blogger used the season, winter, as her theme. Not only did her wedding party wear gloves and warm furry hats they served hot chocolate, warm apple cider, with a home-made cake being placed on logs, and crafty pine-cone candles as party favors. Bands are tricky, they are either too loud, or a bit off key. You can find your entertainment on-line at wedding sites such as Gigmasters or The Knot. Please go listen to your band in person, or your DJ or wedding singer. You can't rely on the CD, you need to really check them out! This second wedding detail includes thinking about linens on the table, chair covers, and your over-all color scheme, which your bridal party should also wear. If you want to do a black and white theme with a splash of color, check out silhouettesbycindiblogspot and Cindi Rose's wedding wonderful video on Bing, YouTube, and AOL. Any museum that allows you to have a wedding there, is a fabulous place to do a wedding, and that can be your theme, and you are donating to their venue, to preserve a tradition, or body of work. You should also take time to pick and ask friends to be in your wedding party, and let them plan any special showers for you, at their price point, and your relatives may want to give an engagement shower, or perhaps your parents. Older, brides and grooms, you can give your own engagement party, should you chose to, or skip this part, just shouting on top of the mountain, "I am getting hitched, I am in love, I am in love, I am in love!"
3. Get Set! Find the cake or cakes! Normally there is a chocolate one for the groom, almond, carrot, or raspberry cream for the bride. Often the bridal party is told to place their bouquets around the cake! Some elect to do one cake with each layer being a different flavor, but normally chocolate is one of them. Your theme can top the cake! You can look -on-line for a special cake topper, or put something that has to do with your favorite activities or a keepsake. At this early stage in many cases a wedding planner is enlisted. It can cost ten to twenty thousand dollars or more, depending on how involved you want him/her to be. But they have researched venues, meals, gifts, timing, dresses, events, social etiquette, staging, bands, music, florists. . . If you have an incredible career, you may want them to do their job, so you can focus on your job and your honey and the nuptials, which should be personal. Wedding planners take you to the best and most reliable sources for your cakes, flowers, stationery, dress, tux, music, extra entertainment, stores to register, clergy. . . in the order they feel is "the order!" Musically, you have many choices: a friend with a great voice can be "your" singer as you walk the aisle. You may want a band, DJ, or your own music mix. It is YOUR day! They have their staff (at $50 per hour) and free interns standing around and trouble shooting at your wedding, and making sure the announcements are made-- first dance, throwing the bouquet, eating the cake, leaving for honeymoon. . . It is costly. I did not have this, I had a bridesmaid do this at my wedding, she also happened to work in a wedding shop. Bridal shops and your favorite city magazines such as Aspen Peak, H Magazine, Dallas, or New York Times Weddings have the best tips. You can get more ideas on SilhouettesbyCindi.com, The Knot, the O List, or GigMasters. Your wedding should reflect your love, and your hearts. It should be personal.
4 Go! Think about stationery. You can go to many lovely venues that specialize in this such as Events, Bering's, Tanglewood Gifts in Houston, Swoozies in Denver and Atlanta. In New York City favorite invites have come from: Greenwich Letterpress, Cuisine & Foxy & Winston, Kate's, Blacker and Kooby, or any on-line stationery company, Zazzle being the most reasonable and fastest. Some of the wedding stationery must haves are the announcement, wedding invitation, wedding program, menu cards, place cards, table cards, thank-you notes for before and after the wedding (can the same with the bride and groom facing in real artist (not computer generated those are trite, not real, actually not attractive) silhouette. You can also get creative in your invites, my favorite invitations are scrolls, or large boxes, with unique invites inside them, hand-delivered, perhaps with confetti, or rose petals (from Michael's or Hobby Lobby).
Figure your look, examine the local bridal magazines, consult with several hair designers, imagine if you want a make-up artist such as Edward Sanchez or Michael DeMarse, if you live in Houston or Austin. Think about bouquets, do you want them woodsy, creative, old-fashioned, what flowers are in season, what is your color scheme? Join some fun wedding sites, and share your ideas with others, see what is something, old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. You can even make your own wedding blog, with all the information of where you are registered, the history of your romance, and other special tidbits you may want to share.
5. Stay Focused! Most important is your vows. This can be a surprise to your fiancée' you can each write them and recite them to one another while your friends and family witness the sacred moment. Print your vows and frame them in 5 x 7 frames as gifts to your guests. Planning a marriage ceremony can be stressful, but remember the union is about love and commitment, don't do anything to jeopardize your relationship.

WASHINGTON — A batch of leaked emails obtained by a civil rights advocacy group show that Stephen Miller, the White House adviser with a direct hand in shaping President Trump's hard-line immigration policies, promoted theories popular with white nationalist groups to an editor at a prominent conservative publication before he joined the administration.
The group, the Southern Poverty Law Center, on Tuesday published a summary of some 900 messages that Mr. Miller sent to Breitbart News from March 2015 to June 2016. The center shared with The New York Times seven pages of the emails included in that summary.
The emails, supplied by Katie McHugh, a former editor at Breitbart, show that Mr. Miller tried to shape news coverage with material he found on at least one website that espouses white nationalist viewpoints, including fringe theories that people of color are trying to engage in "white genocide." The law center's investigation, which the group says it will turn into a series, seeks to illustrate how Mr. Miller brought anti-immigrant beliefs to the White House and turned them into policy.
In an exchange from October 2015, when Mr. Miller was an aide to then-Senator Jeff Sessions, Republican of Alabama, Mr. Miller and Ms. McHugh appeared to share a concern that Mexican survivors of Hurricane Patricia, a Category 5 storm, could be granted temporary protected status, or T.P.S., to seek refuge in the United States.
"This being the worst hurricane ever recorded, what are the chances it wreaks destruction on Mexico and drives a mass migration to the U.S. border?" Ms. McHugh wrote, focusing on the possibility that large numbers of refugees might end up in the United States.
"100 percent," Mr. Miller replied. "And they will all get TPS. And all the ones here will get TPS too. That needs to be the weekend's BIG story. TPS is everything
Mr. Miller then shared a link from a website called VDare, which regularly publishes white nationalists and traffics in anti-immigrant messaging, to prove his point.
Ms. McHugh was fired from Breitbart in 2017 after publishing anti-Muslim Twitter posts. In an interview on Wednesday, she said she had a change of heart after being fired and now renounces far-right views.
"Miller is the most prominent architect of immigration policy within the White House," Ms. McHugh said, "and it's easy to draw a clear line from the white supremacist websites where he is getting his ideas to current immigration policy."
Mr. Miller declined to comment.
Stephanie Grisham, the White House press secretary, responded that the Southern Poverty Law Center was an "utterly discredited, long-debunked far-left smear organization."
The Southern Poverty Law Center, one of the nation's wealthiest and best-known legal advocacy groups, has focused a significant amount of its resources — it operates with an endowment of about $471 million — on exposing the work of extremist groups that espouse hateful ideologies.
Mr. Miller's hard-line beliefs are reflected in the president's language and decision making. This fall, Mr. Trump declined to grant temporary protected status to Bahamian survivors of Hurricane Dorian, a storm that devastated the islands and left at least 2,500 people missing. The administration has also sought to roll back temporary protections for citizens of El Salvador, Honduras and Haiti who have lived for years in the United States.
An email exchange from June 2015 revealed that after a white nationalist shot and killed nine black worshipers at a church in Charleston, S.C., Mr. Miller appeared concerned about the removal of Confederate merchandise from e-commerce websites like Amazon. He suggested to Ms. McHugh that she write about the Communist-era merchandise that Amazon continued to sell.
"Have you thought about going to Amazon and finding the commie flags and then doing a story on that?" Mr. Miller wrote to Ms. McHugh.
"Yes, definitely," Ms. McHugh replied. "There's all kinds of hammer and sickle merchandise, Che shirts, Stalin shirts … the list goes on and on."
An article soon appeared on Breitbart about the Amazon merchandise, and the two continued to discuss the matter: "Should the cross be removed from immigrant communities, in light of the history of Spanish conquest?" Mr. Miller wrote.
In the White House, Mr. Trump has been vocal about preserving Confederate monuments. "Sad to see the history and culture of our great country being ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments," he wrote in 2017 after a violent rally by white nationalists in Charlottesville, Va., resulted in the death of a protester.
Other emails illustrate Mr. Miller's influence on Breitbart. Ms. McHugh also recalled a phone conversation from July 2015 in which Mr. Miller called her to discuss an article he had read on "AmRen," shorthand to its followers for American Renaissance, a site with ties to white supremacy groups. The article, "New DOJ Statistics on Race and Violent Crime," by Jared Taylor, the founder of American Renaissance, approvingly notes that the Justice Department had begun reporting Latinos in a separate category on crime statistics "rather than lumping them in with whites."
Mr. Taylor also wrote that the Justice Department had "long counted Hispanics as a category in its hate crime reports. We look forward to their inclusion as a perpetrator category."
In an email exchange from September 2015, Mr. Miller urged Breitbart editors to refer to "The Camp of the Saints," a 1973 French novel that popularizes the idea that Western civilization will fall at the hands of immigrants. The book was covered days later by Julia Hahn, a former Breitbart writer who now works in the White House. Her job is to communicate administration talking points to surrogates.
Since the publication of the emails, several prominent Democrats, including Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota — two members of a group of nonwhite congresswomen who have drawn the ire of the president and his supporters — have called for Mr. Miller to resign.
In a Twitter post, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez called Mr. Miller a "bonafide white nationalist" who was working at the White House to shape immigration policy. She added: "Miller must resign. Now."
Ms. Grisham, the White House press secretary, said in an email that the Southern Poverty Law Center "has recently been forced — to its great humiliation — to issue a major retraction for other wholly-fabricated accusations.''
Ms. Grisham was apparently referring to the fact that last year the group apologized and paid $3.3 million to settle a lawsuit filed by Maajid Nawaz, an activist whose advocacy organization the law center initially said was an "extremist" group. In March, the organization's co-founder, Morris Dees, was fired over internal claims of mistreatment of staff, sexual harassment, gender discrimination and racism.
The post Report Details How Stephen Miller Shared Theories Favored by White Nationalists appeared first on New York Times.

Are We Doing Right By Our Horses?
Our sport is nothing without the horses.
It's a difficult position to be in, a member of the equestrian media. We're a small group, and we love to support the riders whom we've grown to care about over the years. It's even more difficult when it feels as if it's taboo to ask something outside of the normal "How was your ride today?" questions that pepper a typical press conference.
But I do, however, feel it's appropriate to question things. After all, we live in a world where literally everything is under a social media microscope. It presents an entirely new layer of accountability, of transparency – and it's still rocky ground as we learn how to navigate it professionally.
As it stands, now that I've had a moment to recover from Kentucky and gather my thoughts, I have a few questions:
Why are we, as members of the equestrian media, not asking tougher questions? I don't exclude myself from that sentiment – I, too, have sat in numerous press conferences with a tough question on the tip of my tongue, and I bit it back. But why is that?
Why are we, as members of the equestrian public, not demanding a higher level of transparency from both the governing bodies and organizations as well as the riders?
How to do we continue to hold ourselves to a high standard regarding horse safety and welfare, without encouraging bullying and mob mentality?
How do we quantify offenses – and write the corresponding rules – when so much of our sport is built on subjectivity and opinion?
Accountability rides on the backs of more than just the riders. The proposed wording modification to the existing blood rule within the FEI Eventing Rules is a minor improvement, however it still leaves a glaring gray area on subjectivity, scale of severity and repeated offenses. How is this the best we can do by our horses?
Regardless of the circumstances, the number of photographs circulating of Marilyn Little on multiple horses, at multiple events, with blood in the mouth do not lie. Do horses bite their lips? Yes. Do photos only capture a moment in time? Yes. Are there other riders who have had a bloody mouth or body part or a too-tight noseband? Yes. Should all of these instances be thoroughly investigated, not only on a case-by-case basis but as an overall pattern as well? Yes! Case-by-case is all well and good until you examine a track record. Where is the strike rule when it comes to blood on horses? Why are we not finding a better way to quantify and identify repeat offenses that warrant a more serious investigation?
The fact that this is not an existing policy, from the perspective of horse welfare, is baffling to me. If a rider consistently shows up with blood, the investigation needs to go farther than the warm-up or the vet box, end of story. The issuance of a general statement about the importance of horse care is not sufficient. While I do feel proper protocol was followed for this particular instance, I do not feel that the buck should stop there. But for all intents and purpose, it appears to have once again.
Is blood from a bitten lip necessarily indicative of abuse? Absolutely not. Why is it so offensive to think that a thorough investigation should be no issue if that's the case?See Also
Home » Are We Doing Right By Our Horses?
Look, I get it. I highly doubt that the vast majority of riders truly want to harm their horses, or want anything but the best for them. I do not doubt the level of care that Marilyn's horses receive. What bothers me more is what can only be publicly perceived as complete ignorance of a clear pattern. This is where we are failing our horses, regardless of whether or not they are chronic lip-biters. Is blood from a bitten lip necessarily indicative of abuse? Absolutely not. Why is it so offensive to think that a thorough investigation should be no issue if that's the case?
In an environment where much of the rule enforcement is based on subjectivity, it's difficult to quantify offenses. This is where personal accountability and integrity must be elevated. A rider who is publicly beloved and supported should not be exempt from criticism. Yes, I do realize I am far from an upper-level rider or a certified official, however, my point is that there is a palpable sense of public and official favoritism happening within equestrian sport, which allows some behaviors to be swept under the rug, often repeatedly.
But asking those tough questions, the questions that hold riders in a position of power accountable even though they often elicit a curt "no comment", doesn't immediately signal a witch hunt – or it shouldn't, at least. But if we continue to glaze politely over the gray areas, will we ever elicit a true change?
This is what destroys the integrity of equestrian sport and what will cause us to lose our Olympic status if we don't change. I am calling for a higher level of integrity from all parties involved – the media, including myself, the governing bodies, the sponsors, the fans – in addition to the riders and their teams.
I am calling for this to apply to all horses and their riders, rather than a select few. When repeated instances occur, don't stop at the vet box. Why should a more stringent investigation be shunned, particularly if there is nothing to hide? I'm not endorsing a fine-toothed comb over every photograph or video reel, but perhaps a more discerning eye that doesn't pay mind to favor would go a long way for the overall improvement of our sport.

LEGO Worlds Adding Monsters DLC Pack this OctoberPosted by Eric Watson | News, PC, PlayStation 4, Switch, Xbox One | No Comments
Warner Bros. and Traveller's Tales have announced the newest DLC for sandbox game LEGO Worlds. LEGO Worlds' second DLC pack, The Monsters Pack, will add spooky themed content in time for Halloween. It will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC for $3.99.
The Monsters Pack will add a new location – Monster Town. It's always Halloween in Monster Town, with haunted houses, spooky vehicles, scary new creatures, and some new quests.
LEGO Worlds is also coming to Nintendo Switch on September 5. The physical disc version will include the Classic Space and Monsters DLC packs. The digital version will be cheaper but only include the base game, with DLC sold separately.
The Classic Space DLC was released earlier this summer. It included the Moon biome as well as new quests, characters, and vehicles from classic LEGO space playsets. Excitable retro astronaut Benny from The LEGO Movie is very pleased.
LEGO Worlds launched earlier this year after a two-year stint in Steam Early Access. It's a Minecraft-like sandbox title using LEGO pieces and figures. Since launch LEGO Worlds has received two significant patches. The first added a Sandbox Mode with most building features unlocked. Patch 1.2 added the NEXO Knights and their related toys and playsets in LEGO Worlds.
LEGO Worlds has been rated E for Everyone with some minor Cartoon Violence. It's available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC (Steam). The Monsters Pack arrives in October. LEGO Worlds comes to Nintendo Switch September 5.
ARK: Survival Evolved Launch – Ragnarok, Private Servers, No WipePosted by Eric Watson | News, PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One | No Comments
With their upcoming launch date of August 8 looming close, Studio Wildcard has announced some details for what to expect with the transition to ARK: Survival Evolved 1.0.
ARK: Survival Evolved will launch with support for private, rentable servers hosted by Nitrado. Rentable servers are already available for PC, but now PlayStation 4 and Xbox One owners can benefit from them.
Private servers help alleviate the need for a second server-dedicated console. They give you full control over config settings, let you set custom rules, backup save files, and improve game optimization.
Pricing wasn't announced but PC servers typically ran about $10-$20 a month, with player slots up to 100.
The third official mod for ARK, Ragnarok, will also roll out to PS4 and XBO owners on launch day for free. Ragnarok is a 144 sq km map that features new biomes, dungeons, and creatures. Ragnarok features snowy mountain peaks and an active volcano, with appropriately themed ice and lava creatures. Ragnarok released last month on PC.
Previously released official mods were The Center, another giant new map with new features, and Primitive+, a total conversion mod that introduces more historical-based crafting. Both mods released last year.
Finally Studio Wildcard confirmed their commitment to no server wipes – meaning you won't lose progress when the game ticks over to 1.0. Old servers will continue to be supported while new servers will be brought online to support the new influx of players on launch day. These new servers will feature new coding to prevent some rampant hacking and cheating that have been plaguing ARK.
Multiple versions of ARK: Survival Evolved are available to purchase, including a $99 Explorer's Addition and $159.99 Limited Edition. ARK: Survival Evolved has constantly been a best-selling title since it first launched via Steam Early Access in Summer 2015. It launches August 8 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
The line between MMORPGs and online survival-crafting games continues to blur. Snail Games have announced their upcoming online survival RPG Dark and Light is coming to Steam Early Access tomorrow,…
Craneballs Studio's first foray into PC development, Planet Nomads, is riding the waves of popularity that sandbox games have garnered over the last several years.

WALDO wireless training is based on the results of over 5,000 test calls documented over the past six years. These wireless test calls were made on all six of the wireless networks operating in Tarrant and Dallas counties.The data gathered during the testing program allowed the wireless training for the 9-1-1 calltakers to be updated and greatly simplified.
The training for the calltakers is now based on results that are unique to Tarrant County 9-1-1. The training material has been reduced to a single page. The wireless training is now based on the Where's WALDO puzzle. WALDO goes to a PSAP and makes a 9-1-1 call from an intersection. The calltaker uses the training to locate WALDO on the map and tell WALDO the actual intersection. Calltakers who successfully locate WALDO get a "fabulous" prize. Feedback from calltakers and their supervisors has been very positive.
Please contact 817-334-0911 to request WALDO training.

When it comes to establishing your online presence, having a website is one of the essential steps to kick-start your digital campaign. However, as it becomes almost ordinary and natural even for small and local businesses to have a website, strengthening your online presence now requires more than building one. Today, the importance of web development and design is pertinent to most businesses especially if your goal is to provide an online destination that matters a lot to your target audience.
From planning to hiring the services of professional web developers, here is a summed up insight on the significant factors that you need to consider:
Invest in your website until it becomes one of your most valuable assets.
Creating a stunning website for your business can be considered a substantial investment. You must include it in your marketing tactics from which you can expect tenfold in returns. Thus, hiring an efficient and creative website designer who can understand and share your vision through the creation of your website is a must.
Provide user-friendly navigation.
Today where there are thousands of choices for people who are looking for specific products and services, having a website wherein the guests can effortlessly navigate through its pages is of grave importance. If your official website loads fast and the valuable contents are where the visitors who are seeking for answers can see them quickly, then the more likely they will stay longer and explore your website. This way, the critical message that you want to convey to your audience has a higher chance of making a mark to their minds, and that can motivate them to return to your site and do business with you.
Fill your website with content and visuals that can quickly capture the interest of your visitors.
From your font choices to the theme, layout, and colors, there are lots of small details that you must not take for granted. A good website design must display concise, legible and straightforward content. Even the images must be intended to represent your business' brand and character. Moreover, you must ensure not to bombard your visitors with content. Information overload is highly unappealing. As much as possible, make it simple, but significant.
Your website must evoke consistency.
If your business has a logo, which is almost compulsory when you are establishing your brand, then it must appear on all facets of your business. By keeping your message consistent, you can quickly leave an impression on your target audience. Make sure that you are consistent on the news that you want to send out from your website to your social media accounts and even to those printed materials.
Create your website with the primary purpose of building engagement with your online visitors. If you have an excellent digital channel that can provide smooth navigation, valuable content and time-saving browsing experience, then it can positively impact the way people see your business.
If you are determined to walk past your competitors, then make sure that you recognize the importance of competitive web development. The expert web developers from MojoSEO can help!

North Somerset to remember those who died in World War One
PUBLISHED: 17:23 07 November 2017 | UPDATED: 17:37 07 November 2017
Remembrance services will be held across North Somerset this weekend to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice during the two world wars.
North Somerset will fall silent on Saturday and Sunday to remember those who have served for their country.
From Clevedon right up to Flax Bourton, people will show their respect for the fallen as well as those who are still defending the UK.
Several towns and villages will hold processions through the streets with cadets, scouts, cubs, guides and veterans leading the way.
Here are some of the services taking place in North Somerset:
– A two-minute silence will be held at the Backwell war memorial, in Church Lane, on Saturday. People will start assembling at 10.50am.
– The Royal British Legion will hold a remembrance service at 11am on Saturday in Queens Square in Clevedon.
The parade will start at Salthouse Fields at 2.30pm to St Andrew's Church, in Old Church Road, for a 3pm service.
– A remembrance service will be held at Flax Bourton's St Michael and All Angel's Church, in Main Road, on Sunday at 4pm.
– Portishead Town Remembrance Service will be held at St Peter's Church which is the home of the town's war memorial.
The service will start at 10.50am and will include a two-minute silence.
The service follows on from the parade through the High Street.
– On Remembrance Day itself at 11am there is an Act of Remembrance in the Precinct on the High Street.
– An act of remembrance will be on Sunday at Clapton-in-Gordano's St Michael's Church.
– A remembrance service will be held on Clevedon Pier at 11am on Sunday when maroons will be fired to mark a two-minute silence.
There will be an optional walk from The Black Horse, leaving at 10.25am, for a service at 10.45 am.
Royal British Legion poppy organiser for Clevedon, Phyllis Blackwell, said: "When you think of the millions of people who gave up their lives in the war, it is important that we commemorate them.
"It is important for the young people to be taught about the sacrifices which were made to allow them to have the life they have.
"It is history and we read now about young people not knowing about the wars but they need to know about them in order for them to learn from them so it does not happen again."

Managed mobility offering for an efficient workforce
Today, Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) is the standard way to manage and maintain physical assets such as plants, equipment and buildings. Each day, nearly five million maintenance technicians receive their daily work orders from EAM systems.
Currently, connecting technicians to the EAM system requires paperwork and extensive data entry. Technicians receive their work order and proceed to the appropriate work site. But, all steps between communicating the job to the technician to recording its completion, rely on paper forms and require manual database entry. This leads to loss of time and inaccuracies.
By definition of their responsibilities, all technicians are mobile, whether they are on the plant floor or at the customer's door. As they are disconnected from their source of information, they cannot do their jobs as effectively, resulting in:
- Field inefficiencies due to non-availability of updated historical information on the equipment
- Irregular updates and manual errors in data capture / meter readings
- Poor quality of service due to lack of central access to user manuals and equipment maintenance history
- Data accuracy issues because of multiple people manually updating system logs
- Higher effort to train new workforce due to lack of graphical view of equipment or designs
- Inconsistency in the level of detail and timelines of data entry
Mindtree helps its clients to transform the way they manage asset-intensive businesses with SAP Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) mobile apps. They improve business processes and execution, enhance safety and compliance and enable field workers to collaborate in real-time.
The apps help achieve faster time-to-value with reduced complexity. We offer financial flexibility with different payment models and customize apps to suit client needs.
Key benefits of Mindtree SAP EAM mobile apps:
- Increased productivity - eliminates paper work orders and redundant data entry, thereby increasing productivity of technicians and administrative staff
- Improved first-time fix rates - access to job plans, safety information, customer / order information and asset history at the point of performance enables workers to increase efficiency
- Better planning and scheduling - delivers real-time data and enables managers to optimize shift schedules, prioritize assigned work to prevent bottlenecks
- Greater utilization of applications - improves accuracy by 30 to 50 percent as data is captured for direct upload from the point of performance to back-office systems
- Extended asset life - enables workforce to perform preventive maintenance and helps reduce unexpected outages and emergency fixes
- Better customer engagement - provides the necessary tools to get the job done effectively the first time, resulting in enhanced customer experience and minimized cost of service

Treasurer Allison Ball has appointed five members to the inaugural Kentucky Financial Empowerment Commission Board. The appointments follow a new law giving the State Treasurer authority to appoint members to the statewide board.
"I am proud of the selections I have made for the Financial Empowerment Commission Board," Treasurer Ball said. "These appointees are highly qualified and each bring a unique perspective to the Financial Empowerment Commission. I look forward to leading the efforts of the entire Board as we work to increase financial empowerment across the Commonwealth."
Treasurer Ball has selected five individuals to fill the positions appointed by the State Treasurer:
Dr. Abdullah Al-Bahrani of Fort Thomas is the Director of the Northern Kentucky University Center for Economic Education and an Associate Professor of Economics at NKU.
Daniel Douglas of Owensboro is the President of Junior Achievement of West Kentucky and has over 30 years of experience in non-profit management.
Edward King of Louisville is an attorney whose practice areas include bankruptcy, digital currency, lending, and finance and who serves on the Kentucky Bar Association's Credit Abuse Resistance Education Executive Committee.
David Sandlin of Walton teaches business at Walton-Verona High School and served on the Kentucky Standards Revision and Writing Committee for Financial Literacy.
Carolyn Wheeler of Lexington works with the Human Development Institute at the University of Kentucky and has over thirty years of experience in program development, training, and advocacy on behalf of people with disabilities and their families.
The Financial Empowerment Commission is an innovative method of addressing an important problem facing Kentuckians. It is tasked with developing and implementing plans to improve the financial literacy of all Kentuckians, but most specifically for those who fall into six target communities: Kentuckians with Disabilities, Aging Kentuckians, Commonwealth Employees, Low-Income Families, Students, and Veterans and Military Personnel. It will operate as a 501c3 and, thanks to a partnership Treasurer Ball reached with Kentucky credit unions, will operate without use of taxpayer dollars.
The Commission will be governed by an 11- member board. Other members include Debbie Painter of the Kentucky Credit Union League, April Perry of the Kentucky Bankers Association, and David Perkis of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis—Louisville Branch.
Treasurer Ball will serve as Chair of the Board, while Commissioner Wayne Lewis of the Kentucky Department of Education and Commissioner Charles Vice of the Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions will also serve as members of the board in their official capacities.
HB 139, the Financial Empowerment Commission bill, passed the Kentucky General Assembly with unanimous bipartisan support, became law last month, and was codified as KRS § 41.450.
The Commission is Treasurer Ball's most recent achievement towards improving financial literacy in Kentucky. In 2018, she was an outspoken advocate of HB132, which made a financial literacy course or program a high school graduation requirement. She also launched Kentucky's Financial Empowerment Coalition and Database in 2018 and serves as Chair of the National Association of State Treasurer's Financial Education and Empowerment Committee.

This symbolized the utmost in welcome and hospitality to the visitor, and the fruit would be served as a special desert after the meal. Often when the visitor spent the night, he was given the bedroom which had the pineapples carved on the bedposts or headboard–even if the bedroom belonged to the head of the household.

Great cigar!
A great location. Knowledgeable and very friendly staff. No place better for fun, social smoke. Very nice selection and reasonable pricing. Check out their special events!
Certainly enjoyed this smoke!
Thoughts after smoking it:Clicked on the order a bundle of five and was directed to an on-line store. A nice way to undermine your local Cigar Store. And, NO, it didn't take me to a source for a bundle of five of the cigars I had just rated. I see that again and I just may have to delete the App.

Interesting Facts
We all go from place to place for our work, for studying; to meet our relatives etc. Every morning you stand on your bus stop waiting for your school bus. Your school bus takes you to your school. Like this whenever we have some work we go from place to place by using different means of transport.
The 'means' taken from going place to place depend upon the distance to be covered. The place which we intend to go may be at a short distance or at a long distance.
To travel generally means to go from one place to another. We travel because of different motives. We travel alone, in groups, with our family or with our classmates depending upon the purpose of our travel.
We travel when we have to go to some place for our work. There are various purposes like going to school, college etc, we also go to different cities to meet our relatives, to spend holidays, on our school trips. We either go alone like when our parents go to their offices or we go with our family like when we go meet our relatives, to attend family functions etc.
We can travel short distance or long distance
The vehicle we use to travel is known as means of transportation. The means of transport taken depends upon the distance to travel. With the increase in the use of new technologies today we can travel to any place using new means of transportation. In old times means of travel were very few like:
Walking: In old times people used to cover long distances on foot. Later they started using animals such as horse and oxen etc.
Bullock Cart and Horse Carriages: They were used for travelling in old times especially in India. Today they are used in smaller towns.
People also use mules and horses to travel in hilly areas. We use camels to travel in deserts.
Today we have plenty of options to travel. We can divide them according to our travel on road, by air and through water.
Bicycle: You might have got a bicycle and had a ride on it. We can use this while moving within our locality or over short distances.
Car: We use a car to travel distant places or when we go with our family.
Scooter: This can be used to go to nearby places and sometimes to distant places also.
Bus: We often use buses to go to our school. We also take buses to go from one city to the other.
Trains: Trains are usually preferred to travel long distances. But in some cities there are local trains too which move within the city only.
We board the trains from railway stations. When you go to a railway station you can see different tea stalls, book shops etc. Trains run on the railway tracks which are specially designed for them. There is a ticket collector in train who checks the ticket of the passengers. He is called the TTE (Travelling Ticket Examiner). The driver of the train runs the train. There are coolies also who carry our luggage for us. There is a lot of hustle bustle on the platform. The venders keep coming in the train and sells off eatables. Railway provides a cheap and fast means of transport. It can carry lot of passengers and heavy and bulky goods from one part of the country to another. All the important cities and towns are connected by railways. With the coming up of metro trains it is easier to travel in day to day life.
Historical Preview
For air transport we use aeroplanes. Aeroplanes are the fastest means of transport. A pilot flies the aeroplane. We board the plane from airport. However, air travel is expensive. We can easily go to different countries, for studying, working or just for travelling.
We can also travel in seas and oceans through ships. They are also used to carry goods from one country to another. They usually travel a long distance. Steamers and boats sail along big rivers carrying passengers and goods from one part to another. Water transport may be slow as compared to other means but it is a cheap way to transport bulky goods over long distances.
So we can say that we need to move from place to place for different works and we use different modes of transport to go depending on our needs.
But what if we do not want to go to some place but we need our message to be delivered?
In that case we take help of letters. We write a letter and put the address on which we want it to get delivered. We also put a stamp on it and post it in a letter box. The postman collects it and takes it to the post office. There sorting of the letter is done according to cities. After being stamped again it is sent to the concerned city and a post man delivers it to the address mentioned on it.
We also have the facilities of phones to deliver the message. We can instantly deliver our message or can talk to a person sitting anywhere.
Now a days we can give our message through computer e- mail also. With the help of fax machine and computer we can also send written documents to any place.
If we want to broadcast a message to a greater number of people then we use media. For example radio is an effective means to broadcast audio signals. Whereas television can be used to broadcast both pictures and sound.
Usually we feel that people use sign language to communicate with those who are deaf. However, there are many other reasons also why such language is used. It can be due to language barrier i.e.; not understanding the other's language and also there are people who take a vow of silence. This means they don't speak (even though they can).
Misconcept / Concept
Misconcept: Cellular (mobile) phones can work independently as they are wireless
Concept: Mobile phones receive signals from the towers. When someone makes a call the signals are first received by the nearest tower and forwarded to the respective mobile.

My design for Obama's building is designed to reflect aspects of power that Obama embodies. The multiple layers of the platforms reflects the different layers both of his persona, and aspects of society he affects, and how they create a whole system.
The texture applied is to enhance the feeling of movement, of moving forward, which I think is an important aspects of the power that Obama embodies; always changing and always moving forward.
The outward reaching platforms enhance this same feeling movement.
The purpose of the shape of the building is to make the person feel intimidated, to feel powerless in the face of such an influential and all encompassing power such as that which Obama weilds. The overreach of the platforms, and the leaning of the glass blocks creates this effect. I wanted the building to be tall to enhance the feeling of power and awe, in the same way that the sails of the Opera House do, as we studied in BENV1080.
The shape of the building also reflects the patriotism of Obamas power by resembling the American flag, where the elevator shafts acts as the flagpole, and the platforms as the stripes on the American flag.
The use of materials, of reflective chrome, of the solid platforms, and the glass structure work to portray the different transparencies and layers of Obama power. Combined with the shape of the building, these work to create the feeling of dynamism and the thrust of the type of power Obama has.
