Lawyers representing parties of the eviction saga over the festive period will present submissions next week on whether the current temporary stay order on the eviction be upheld or dismissed.
Magistrate, Jimmy Tapat, of the Port Moresby District Court said this when adjourning the matter this morning.
In the meantime the status quo is maintained allowing the grieving party, Lucy Agen and Cecilia Sam, to remain at the property they were evicted from on December 24th 2017.
The women are currently challenging the eviction order taken by Wen's Holdings Limited to remove them from Section 95 alotmment 6, a unit that has been the subject of a court dispute for a few years.
Magistrate Tapat said the stay orders granted on December 26th against the eviction will remain until January 9th 2018, where lawyers will present submissions on whether to remove or extend the stay order.
Tapat also said that other matters relating to the court dispute over the property within the jurisdiction of the District Court can also be dealt with next week.

Advanced Affiliate Marketing Strategies 2019
Affiliate marketing belongs to one of the most effective methods for making money online. Affiliate marketing implies advertising merchant's goods through an affiliate link. The profits are obtained from selling the products advertised on the blog posts.
This kind of internet marketing involves three parties, namely, merchants, affiliates and customers. For an affiliate, applying affiliate marketing strategies is an important part of his business plan. When a customer purchases a product following an affiliate link, a blogger gets credit for the sale and earns commissions. A merchant is actually the key figure in the game as he is one who is offering a product to the customers.
If you are an affiliate, you might be interested in the advanced affiliate marketing strategies that help to get the most out of the process. Basic affiliate marketing techniques imply advertising popular products wherever it is allowed. However, more advanced affiliate marketing strategies are more sophisticated. Learning about them is worth your time if you have already got some knowledge of the basic affiliate marketing strategies.
The best part is that affiliate marketing allows you to make decent money for very little effort. It might be difficult to start making money as an affiliate. However, once you get into the industry, the process becomes very simple. If you are an experienced gamer in the affiliate marketing industry, let's get closer to the core of the matter.
How does ad block influence advertising?
Let's talk about the obstacles on the way to successful affiliate marketing. The affiliates face many problems but the main one is ad blockers. If you are an advertiser, then you are probably aware that ad blockers may cause a lot of trouble. According to Statista, 30% of the US online users used tools to eliminate the ads from the websites they visited in 2018. The number of active ad block users has already reached almost 200 million worldwide. IAB study reveals statistics that 26% of desktop users turn on ad blockers. This number shows a new niche to be carved by affiliate marketing professionals.
The truth is there are different kinds of ads and they irritate customers to a different extent. For example, ads that block content are known to be the most irritating.
When an affiliate gets a clear understanding of the situation he is dealing with, he can work on developing the strategies to get around ad blockers. More experienced affiliates know the effective ways of mitigation of ad blocking. It depends on how aggressive an affiliate is with his media development and hosting.
Whether a page is blocked or not also depends on the URL. For example, if you have a website with a URL doglovescookies.com, it will probably not be blocked by the ad blockers. This is because your domain is probably not a big player in the game. However, if you are owning a domain with a URL cheapclothes.com, the risk of being blocked will probably be very high. In the end, the question is how to get around this technology to monetize your website if the ad block is present? Let's get a closer look at the advanced affiliate marketing strategies to get around ad blockers in 2019?
Deep linking
One of the most popular advanced affiliate marketing strategies is deep linking. Deep linking, or hyperlinking consists of using links to direct users to the partner website. The thing is there is no need to insert a link to the website's home page. However, if you are trying to direct the user in a more delicate way, there is a chance that he will come up with an idea to visit a partner's home page.
No matter you are a blogger, a website owner, a solution provider, or even a businessman you should know about Best Affiliate Marketing Events of 2019.
Shaving pixels
Shaving pixels stand for cutting the banner's image size. A standard size of an international marketing unit, a banner, is size 250 by 250, 350 by 350, 728 by 90 and other. The thing is ad blockers can identify and block pixel sizes. If you think like a creator, you are trying to think out of a box.
One of the tricks for optimizing a program for higher sales is to change the size of pictures. For example, cut them down from 250 by 250 to 249 by 249. A lot of advanced affiliates shave pixels, especially, for big brands. So, if you are an affiliate you can do that. When you are writing your scripts for delivery, make sure that you are putting in the right pixel sizes.
Offering coupons
It is important that merchants met ethical standards. Another trick that allows getting around ad blockers is related to coupons. If you choose not to ruin the ethical standards of affiliate marketing, you still can use some methods to appear in natural search results. Search engine optimization is not usually discussed within the affiliate marketing topic. However, with ad block off the search results look completely different than with ad block on.
Given the fact that ad blockers are able to recognize banner images, there should be used other way to make an ad visible to the customer. New or big brand merchants sometimes are afraid to place ads with promo codes, coupon offers and so on. They think offering coupons discounts their brand or gives it a bad image. In this case, an affiliate should explain to the merchant that promotion is only about getting around the ad blockers. To put it simply, using coupons is killing two birds with one shot. The only thing to take into account is that these coupons appear in the search results if the user puts in the search bar something like "10% 'brand'". What do the large coupon affiliates do when they need to gather all the coupons on the websites like coupons.com? They don't have an army of 50,000 people sitting in there going through every text link looking for a coupon. They have APIs (Application Programming Interface), a tool that helps to look for specific keywords. Those keywords are either branded, categorical, sub categorical or product related keywords. For example, a consumer is looking for a 10% off a cowboy hat. He finds many coupons in natural search results even with an ad block turned on.
Email marketing
It has been estimated that email marketing allows making three times more sales. Affiliate marketers know that building email lists is just as important as creating a website. It helps to reach more potential customers, increase the conversion rate and total sales. How to create an email list? Let's imagine that some of the customers have signed up to your list but they do not visit your website regularly. If you send your offers to these customers regularly, they will probably make purchases in the future. With email lists, you can build a relationship with your clients with a little effort.
Setting up a blog
By setting up a blog, you can attract more traffic to your website. An increasing stream of traffic helps to gain more leads. The main way to increase your traffic level is by setting up a blog on the pages of which products can be advertised. The more blog posts are written daily, the more traffic can be attracted. The only thing to keep in mind is that you need to offer quality content to make your visitors come back.
It is important to understand that profit is a question of traffic and increasing audience size. Oftentimes, this is just a matter of time.
There actually can be offered different incentives. They are used basically for two purposes: to attract the customers and receive an affiliate commission. In order to make a customer purchase a product through an affiliate link, any free item can be offered. For instance, it can be a podcast, e-book for free and so on. This shows that you're focused on offering value and great deals. Along with offering a product for free, you can encourage the customer to explore your goods and services. This sounds easy but, for some reason, so few people use this affiliate marketing strategy. The problem may be the incentives are not good enough. If a merchant is not ready to make quality bonuses, then this strategy will not work.
We have made an attempt to reveal some of the big "secrets" to making money as an affiliate. Situations cannot be the same. Affiliate marketing is a fast developing industry that undergoes many changes every single day. It can be concluded that affiliate marketing is not only about advertising. It is also about technology and understanding the applications and how to utilize them.

We don't have to tell you that cleaning isn't easy…or fun. We can't claim to make it fun, we can tell you e-cloth WILL make cleaning easier and faster. If cleaning were easier, we would all be more inclined to do it, right?
We've put together a list of the most hated cleaning tasks. But we haven't stopped there. We've also provided you with the solution.
Shower & Tub Scum won't gross you out anymore. Shower cleaning is consistently rated as one of the least desirable cleaning chores. I'm sure you can relate. e-cloth's Shower Pack has these amazing, extra-absorbant fibers that just instantly soak up moisture and, with a quick swipe, remove soap scum, built up grime and water marks. Prepare to be amazed at how easy this is!
Dirty, dull floors just make the entire house look dingy. The Deep Clean Mop makes
floor cleaning less of a chore and more of a reward. Its wide base is on a 360 degree swivel, making it easy to get into corners and other hard-to-reach places. Footprints, dirt and spills (i.e. sticky stuff, gunk, mystery messes, etc.) are no match for what this mop can do. (AND, the Deep Clean Mop was rated Best Washable Mop by Real Simple Magazine – May 2012)
- Ok, streaky windows are awful, and can be quite unsafe. Whether you're trying to see through your car's windshield or trying to watch the sunset from your enclosed porch, streaky windows obstruct your view and really put a damper on things. e-cloth's Window Pack is the only window cleaning product that cleans windows and mirrors with just water, leaving them streak-free, smear-free and lint-free
Ceiling Fan & Chandelier Crud. Ew! Picture what's up there. This is the dust and
gunk that flies around your house from the outdoors. It's the sticky, greasy stuff in the kitchen. Fortunately, you don't even have to look at it because the Cleaning & Dusting Wand bends to any position and is flexible along the entire length of the wand to reach those narrow, hard-to-reach spots. It is especially good at easily cleaning underneath and behind appliances.
- Stubborn cooked-on, burnt-on messes don't have to become permanent stovetop decorations. Instead, e-cloth scrubbing stripes give the Range & Stovetop Cloth extra power for cleaning all types of cooking spills creating a kitchen you're proud of. Just look at those stripes! They remove tough grease and grime on and around burners, cooktops, and other stove surfaces without scratching.
- Over time, stainless steel becomes dull and flat. Give dull stainless steel a new life
with the Stainless Steel Pack. The dual-sided Stainless Steel Cloth cleans both brushed and polished stainless steel while the Finishing Cloth leaves surfaces smear-free, streak-free and polished.
- Nasty microwave messes and spills are gross and probably linger longer than we'd like to admit. (Probably because everyone is waiting for you to clean it, right?) e-cloth's Kitchen Cloth has a crud-fighting scrubbing pocket for removing stuck-on food.
- I can't be the only one who makes a humongous mess when I cook. One thing I always (always!) do despite how careful I am is spill olive oil onto the counter or stovetop. You know that conventional cleaning methods do not even come close to removing all that oily mess. e-cloth's General Purpose Cloth is constructed with specialized fibers that just soak up, trap in and completely remove oily residues with just water. All of it. Gone. It almost sounds counterintuitive – water + oil = mess. The power is in the fibers that act like absorbent sponges and just like that, the mess is gone.
- Dirt, dust and gunk are some of the worst things for your sensitive electronic gadget screens. You spend hard-earned money on tablets, smart phones and e-readers so you obviously want to keep them running at their best. The Personal Electronics Cleaning Cloth – a steal at $3.99!! – removes fingerprints, smears, makeup, oils, grease, grime and over 99% of bacteria all while preserving the protective coatings! <– According to The Huffington Post, cell phones are some of the grossest things we own.
- I'm going to let Emily at The Innovative Mama tell you all about dusting those impossible blinds.
- Grout. Scummy, dirty, ugly tile grout. Not a traditional use for this product, but the Non-Scratch Scrubbing Pads' handy size make it easy to scrub away soap scum and mildew using just water. It's an effortless way to brighten the look of your tile.

Mobile marketing can greatly help in promoting your business when you know exactly what the process entails. The best part is, it's fun, too. If you do it well, your business is sure to get some great exposure. Follow the tips below to ensure your mobile marketing campaign is successful.
Do not forget to invest some cash into making sure that your site is mobile-ready. Creating a site that looks good and works well on mobile devices can be a challenge. Don't be afraid to hire experts to do this for you.
Ask your friends to test your website, advertisements and emails. If you need unbiased opinions, you can hire testers.
Applications are really easy to make. You already know that giving your customers free apps is a good idea, but did you realize you could be giving away your own custom-built app? Your business could always offer its own special app and really take your mobile marketing to the next level. There is a wide variety of features that might suit your purposes.
Mobile marketers that are successful take it slowly and go forward to grow. To be successful, you should follow their lead. You can start with a text messaging campaign, expand into using mobile websites, then incorporate mobile apps and eventually deliver videos to mobile devices. Keep progressing and improving your overall mobile marketing campaign. Use everything you have available to you.
Even though a lot of folks are already doing Internet texting through their phones, not all of your followers will understand the lingo. A customer who may have purchased from you will not do so, if they cannot understand your advertising.
Don't forget to include links to your social media accounts on your main website. Different customers will come from different referring sites, and you do not want to limit their ability to find you easily.
Mobile marketing can expand your customer base, but in order to do that, your marketing materials need to work on most mobile devices. Customers are waiting out there with a plethora of different mobile gadgets; your marketing efforts will have no good effect – or even a negative one – if it doesn't work with a customer's particular device.
Mobile Device
It may be harder for people to navigate your website if they are doing so on their mobile device. Therefore, your mobile marketing site should be easy to use. It may look very simplistic on a computer, but when using a mobile device, it will look normal. The important thing is keeping access open to both computer users and mobile users.
If you want your mobile marketing to be really effective, apply search engine optimization techniques and technology to your mobile website. Since most mobile search is done through Google, that is the perfect starting point for your mobile SEO efforts.
Implement an A/B testing routine to find the most user friendly mobile page. User convenience and functionality testing is as crucial for mobile pages as for sites viewed online via desktops. Use two dissimilar versions of your landing page (known as A & B) to see which earns the most conversions. Keep whichever page is more successful.
Mobile Devices
Add directions and maps to your site that can be used on all mobile devices. It's likely your users will be on a mobile device when looking for your location. Create an easy way for your customers to reach you. Verify that your map displays correctly and is usable on mobile devices. Consider using an external link to a known site, like Google maps, for your customers.
There are many new and innovative marketing ideas when it comes to mobile devices, and considering them all can feel a bit confusing. This article contains lots of tips to help you get started with mobile marketing.

Rusty Bull hits the road with new food truck
WEIRTON — An area restaurant has hit the road to provide residents from across the Ohio Valley with a taste of its menu.
Rusty Bull Taco Co. first opened its doors in Toronto three years ago, and now the restaurant is growing its presence with a mobile operation, recently launching a food truck and taking it to communities throughout the area.
"I just wanted to be able to run around the whole Ohio Valley and expand our presence," owner Mark Frankovitch said.
Frankovitch explained he purchased the truck in the early spring, spending a couple of months getting it ready before getting it on local streets a few weeks ago.
The menu is simple, with five types of tacos — pork, beef, spicy beef, chicken and vegetable — offered, along with beverages.
"It's a bit condensed from the restaurant," he noted.
The restaurant, which continues to operate, offers taco salads, nachos and other dishes.
Even though the truck has only been on the road for a few weeks, Frankovitch said he has noticed several repeat customers.
"That's a good sign," he said.
He also noted the transition to the food truck operation hasn't been much of a challenge, as his staff is used to working in small spaces. The Rusty Bull restaurant, he explained, was built out of a former car wash.
As the food truck sets up at different locations, Frankovitch said those interested can check out Rusty Bull's Facebook page to find out where and when the truck will be from day to day.
The food truck also will be available to cater parties and events," Frankovitch noted.
Frankovitch plans to operate the food truck during the summer and fall, possibly going longer depending on the weather.
"I'll run as long as I can," he said.

On reading the Quran
I was given a copy of the Quran by a Muslim leader at the Regent's Park Mosque back in 1983. I did read through it then and thought I would try again now. After the short introductory chapter (sura) I persevered through the 286 verses of sura 2. (The Heifer) Impressions. A disjointed text with no real narrative linking. There are portions relating to some early Bible stories but nothing detailed. There is creation but no fall. Satan, Iblis falls because he will not bow down to Adam. There are several references to covenant but no definition nor description of covenant making. Stories of patriarchs are minimal and of Moses and Exodus too. More is omitted than included. There is much instruction as to how Muslims are to live, piety to observe and practical instructions like divorce. Bur it is a cold hodge podge, an incoherent ranmbing. How it could be described as the greatest literature beggars belief. I shall try another sura each day.

As New Jersey's public schools celebrate arts education this month, the state is on the verge of finally being able to say every child has full access to classes in painting, music, theater, and the other arts.
Educators say an arts-inclusive curriculum gives students the freedom to express themselves effectively, explore their interest areas, and present themselves as well-rounded individuals when they look for a job.
While the state offers a comprehensive arts education to nearly every student, however, the quality and quantity varies from district to district, usually along socioeconomic lines. Schools with tighter budgets, tend to have less robust arts programs.
Still, according to a new arts education census of school districts in all 21 counties, New Jersey is nearly at "universal access" to arts education. During the 2015 – 2016 school year, 99 percent of schools offered comprehensive arts instruction, as required by state law, according to the census conducted by Arts Ed NJ, an advocacy group.
The report found only 26 schools, serving more than 9,000 students, reported no arts instruction at all.
That's 26 schools too many for advocates, but the barriers remain high for that final step, not the least of which is having the political will to increase funding so arts education is on par with the rest of what a school provides every day.
Bob Morrison, director of Arts Ed NJ, said if the state can reach 100 percent, it will be the first in the nation to achieve universal access to the arts. But he acknowledged there are a host of obstacles to overcome on both state and local levels.
"There is more that needs to be done," Morrison said. "We're trying to figure out how to make sure those programs are reaching every school."
Art educators on the defense
Arts educators say a significant portion of their time is spent defending the value of the arts and fighting to retain funding for their programs.
"I hope I live to see the day when we don't have to advocate for the importance of an arts education," said Dennis Argul, music supervisor in Elizabeth schools. He added, when explaining why the art department deserves to retain funding, it's often difficult to quantify, compared with subjects like science and math.
"No one has to explain the importance of a math education. If you study math for 90 minutes a day, you get better math scores," Argul said. Good math test scores, he said, often equate to a better overall school ranking and that doesn't always come across with art grades. Argul argues, however, that art as self-expression may be a more accurate representation of student comprehension and intelligence than a test of rote memorization.
Arts provide a creative outlet necessary to counterbalance constant academic pressure. In 2015, West Windsor-Plainsboro superintendent David Aderhold famously sent parents a letter outlining a crisis in his district. Schools had sent more than 120 students to receive mental health screenings citing rampant symptoms of anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. Aderhold concluded that schools needed to do more to address the "whole student" and create more balance between testing and artistic and emotional expression.
"We get hung up on those test scores and all of a sudden that perverse game of expectations takes all of our resources and focus and we sometimes miss out on some of the other things that are so important to the development of our students," Morrison said.
Running on STEAM
Shawna Longo, an arts integration and science technology engineering arts and mathematics (STEAM) specialist at Morris Plains schools, said it can be challenging to demonstrate the immediate value of an arts education. Even though, Longo said, big companies like Google and IBM are looking to hire innovative thinkers and problem solvers who can use an arts background to approach a tech-centered field.
Some teachers are finding success merging the arts with other subjects in an effort to provide students with creative outlets to express their learning and generate a visible way to measure growth.
"Arts integration with STEAM gives kids the opportunity to utilize the skills in arts content areas and apply them to math, science, and social studies to make them real," Longo said. "When kids ask 'why do I have to learn this,' art gives them the answer to that."
Longo said art adds context and can help kids learn practical applications for many of the skills they learn in other subjects. When she teaches a music class for example, Longo said she can weave in the history of a composer, the math of keeping time, and the public-speaking skills necessary for a student to explain what they find compelling about a certain type of music.
She added that finding natural connections between art and non-art subjects and merging curriculum plans becomes exciting. In Morris Plains, Longo's students are learning to compose music using computer software and manipulate the soundwaves according to principles of physics that they've learned in other classes.
"Not everything has a natural connection to the arts and that's OK, but when you can find those moments, that's when the learning really comes alive for the kids," Longo said.
Long and winding road
Since 1996, New Jersey has listed visual and performing arts as one of the nine curriculum standards that every school must meet. However, the road to achieve and enforce that standard has been winding.
During Gov. Tom Kean's administration, the Legislature in 1987 convened a Literacy in the Arts task force to assess the state of arts education in New Jersey. The results were less than impressive. Forty-three percent of districts said that they did not have an arts objective set in the local planning process for the year.
A great deal has happened in the intervening years, as the state placed new emphasis in the arts in its evolving curriculum standards. The state's highest court even weighed in as part of the landmark Abbott v. Burke school-equity rulings, saying the arts were a critical part of what every child should be exposed to.
Arts Ed NJ in 2006 started collecting data on participation, and in that first year found more than 77,000 students attended a school with no arts program at all. Of all students in the state, only 66 percent engaged with the arts at all.
A decade later, only 9,160 students in 2016 attended a school with no arts program and more than a million students are receiving some form of arts education in the state, an all-time high, according to the census.
Morrison said much of that increase came from simply studying school districts and identifying areas of need.
"Back in 2006 we didn't know what the status of arts education was," Morrison said. "We put forward the census and that gave us a benchmark of where we stood. Along with that came strategies and initiatives that needed to be implemented."
Nonetheless, Morrison said there is still ground to cover. While art participation and instruction has shot up over the years, cultural programs within schools — including field trips, assemblies, and artist-in-residencies — have seen a steep decline since 2006.
Art isn't free
What's more, the census data revealed deep inequities between the strength of programs around the state, often falling along socioeconomic lines where the gaps are only increasing.
The most obvious challenge schools face when developing a robust arts curriculum is funding. On average, the latest census found arts spending is $9.03 per student in elementary schools, $12.50 per student in middle schools, and $26.03 in high schools per year, although a large portion comes from nondistrict sources like parent-backed groups and foundations. (Thirty-nine percent of all schools reported that they received funding from nondistrict sources and 14 percent of schools reported using outside funding to offset budget decreases.)
But school budgets have been more than tight in the past decade, with deep cuts in 2010 and only nominal increases since. The arts have often been the first targets for cuts. That has left schools trying to be creative in an attempt to serve the most students possible. Often, arts instructors will be shared within schools in a district, moving from building to building throughout the day.
Yet Morrison said the bigger obstacle can be upper-level motivation. He said he's seen schools with few resources build out strong arts programs, while more affluent districts fall short because some "administrators don't value [an arts education] the same way," and place more of an emphasis on test taking and college readiness.
He said part of it is a misunderstanding of the role of arts education.
"There is this myth that persists in some areas that we teach the arts to create great artists, but that's not it at all," Morrison said "We teach the arts to provide our students with a well-rounded education to give them the skills and knowledge they need to be successful in life regardless of the pathway that they choose."
Argul said the arts education census is an important way to "shine the light on arts education and quantify in real numbers" the gains that New Jersey has achieved, but universal access should not be the stopping point.
"Data is only as good as what you do with it," Argul said. "Universal access is a great first step but now what? Now what do we do with that? Hopefully it shows the rest of the country that if New Jersey can do it, you certainly can do it too."

Author(s): Catherine Anderson
Catherine Anderson and Angus McDonald are both restless souls - inverterate travellers, at home everywhere and nowhere. When they first meet, in a small hill town in the Himalayas, she thinks he is rude, mistaking his shyness for arrogance. He thinks she is idealistic and naive, and unlikely to remain past the next monsoon. After years without contact, Catherine dreams of Angus, and within a few days receives a message from him. Though he is in Melbourne and she in London, Catherine feels a profound certainty that their lives are about to converge. The End of All Our Exploring is an unconventional love story, set against a backdrop of some of the world's most breathtaking scenery, but it is also a young woman's lament for all she has lost, a meditation on grief and a courageous attempt at acceptance and understanding.

Death Cab For Cutie Soars With New Album
I first fell in love with Death Cab for Cutie when I was a sophomore in high school. I wore out my Transatlanticism CD out and had to buy multiple copies from The Wall and Sam Goody. The band's penchant for making beautiful songs about unrequited love and heartbreak were perfect for my bleeding emo heart. I probably didn't understand Transatlanticism completely, but I certainly did feel it. Now 12 years older, both Death Cab for Cutie and I are coming to terms with the real pains of growing older and growing up. Ben Gibbard, Chris Walla (who recently left the band), Nick Hammer, and Jason McGerr return with Kintsugi, a soaring and deceptively subtle album filled with the woes of losing the ones you love, and especially losing yourself. Thanks to NPR, you can listen to the whole album for free.
Hidden beneath pop beats and bass-line grooves is real sorrow and grief. There are very straight-forward laments (as you would expect from Ben Gibbard) on the album, but there are even more dashed in between upbeat synths. It's discombobulating when you listen very closely, but it's also where the band hits the real heart of its message. What we wear on the outside often has no indication of what we're really battling on the insinde.
This time around Death Cab for Cutie face divorce in the public eye, losing friendships with the mere passing of time, and digging yourself out of a rut. It's challenging and deeply personal subject matter, but it is above all a real sign of growth.
Take a listen over at NPR and here's how all of the songs on Kintsugi rank:
Track 01, "No Room in Frame" — Song Most Likely to Appear in a Soundtrack
The song has, "HBO indie comedy series" written all over it. It's almost as if you can see the hazy filter in Los Angeles slow-motion dancing scene. It also comes right out of the gates with the whole Ben Gibbard/Zooey Deschanel divorce thing, "Was I in your way when the cameras turned to face you?" Ouch.
Track 02, "Black Sun" — Song Most Likely to Be Found on Transatlanticism
In high school I would have thought it was just a song about being disillusioned. 12 years later, it's clear Gibbard and Co. are digging at something much deeper, "There's whiskey in the water and there is death upon the vine. There is fear in the eyes of your father. There is yours and there is mine."
Track 03, "The Ghosts of Beverly Drive" — Song Most Likely to Be Turned into a Tattoo
Case in point, "If you let me be your skyline, I'll let you be my wave. " The song also has a strong Jimmy Eat World vibe and again, has a much sadder subject than the California sound would let on.
Track 04, "Little Wanderer: — Song Most Likely To Get You Through a Long-Distance Relationship
If you've ever been in an LDR, you know that they suck with a captial SUCK. "Little Wanderer" perfectly captures how you can feel left behind when the one you love goes off into the world without you. It breaks people apart and this song highlights the hopefulness of long-distance relationships, " I hope your absence makes us grow fonder,"as well as there absolute crushing realities, You sent a photo out your window of Tokyo/ Told me you were doing fine/ You said the cherry blossoms were blooming, and that I was on your mind/ But I couldn't make you out through the glitches/ It's how it always seems to go/ So we say our goodbyes over messenger/ As the network overloads."
Track 05, "You've Haunted Me All My Life" — Song Most Likely to Stir up Childhood Disappointments
Ever had parents who weren't there for you? Ever felt abandoned and disappointed by those who were meant to take care of you? Ever had a lifelong insecurity you can't shake because it was embedded at an early age? Then this song is for you!
Track 06, "Hold No Guns" — Song Most Likely to Cry to While Driving
It's not quite at "crying in the bathtub" levels, but it's close. This track is an acoustic lullaby that perfectly describes every feeling you've ever had towards someone who won't commit, " Darling don't you understand there are no winners, the treasures we never buried. My love why do you run? My hands hold no guns."
Track 07, "Everything's A Ceiling" — Song Most Likely to End up on A Mix Tape
It's catchy enough that maybe the one you're pining for won't notice that the lyrics are all about how the one you want to be with is with the wrong person.
Track 08, "Good Help" — Song Most Likely to Be Used as a Pick-Me-Up
You'll definitely be hearing this one on your local radio station. If it's not the one Death Cab opens with in their next tour, it'll definitely be a closer, or even part of an encore. Hello, emo dance floor!
Track 09, "El Dorado" — Song Most Likely to Be on a Running Playlist
It's the perfect song for a run. The fast-paced beats will keep you moving and the lyrics are juuuuust mysterious enough that you can really tune in and try to decipher the story...you know, if you're one of those runners who needs a distraction while running (*COUGH* me *COUGH*).
Track 10, "Ingenue" — Song Most Likely to Be Discussed by Feminists
Sure Gibbard is pointing out the unrealistic expectations Hollywood has on young women...but is he speaking FOR us? Is he dissing Zooey? "When age's glacial pace/ Cuts valleys into your face/ The currency of being twenty-three/ It will remain the same/ Just by another name." True...and ouch.
Track 11, "Binary Sea" — Song Most Likely to Make You Never Want to be Famous
Gibbard really dives into how his divorce was played out in the public eye using Atlas in a modern metaphor, "As you watched him struggle to his feet/ You took photos capturing his defeat/ And messaged them to all your friends/ And we all laughed at his expense." Thankfully the song ends on a hopeful note...sort of.

This series rewrites the story of early modern epistemology by examining the intervention of the 'literary' in a wider conversation about the process, ethics and psychology of knowing, more obviously ongoing across Theology, Natural Philosophy, Economics and Law. Each volume focuses on a particular interdisciplinary threshold, with literature as a running thread, reading these cognate fields as coeval but distinct, and charting certain elusive and ordinarily unassimilable aspects of the experience and texture of knowing by using a unique interdisciplinary route.

According to prosecutor Carol Sipperly, former HSBC currency trader Mark Johnson used just four words to trigger a massive, international front-running operation that netted his firm some $8 million in illicit profits: "my watch is off."
The bank's former global head of foreign exchange alerted the traders around the globe via a phone call in December 2011 that was recorded, a prosecutor said Thursday. The gambit was designed to take advantage of a $3.5 billion client order to buy sterling, the U. S. says.
After Johnson's trial recessed for the day, prosecutor Carol Sipperly asked that the jury hear the recordings on Friday, in which Johnson allegedly tipped off a trader in Hong Kong. That signal eventually reached others on both sides of the Atlantic, she said. Johnson was in New York that day, speaking to Stuart Scott, the bank's former head of currency trading in Europe, who was in London, just before the transaction for its client, Cairn Energy Plc.
Prosecutors say Johnson and Scott, along with other traders, bought pounds before the transaction. Johnson is on trial in federal court in Brooklyn, New York, accused of a scheme that produced a $8 million profit for his bank.

Shinoda recorded "Fine" for the new Russian sci-fi film The Blackout. Footage from the movie is featured in the video.
"When the director Egor Baranov sent me a clip of the film, I instantly had an idea for what kind of song I wanted to make," Shinoda says. "The tense and unsettling nature of the film instantly resonated with me."
"Fine" follows Shinoda's debut solo album, Post Traumatic, which was released in 2018.

The Promontory
Hyde Park has been a music desert since 1950s urban renewal decimated the center of jazz in the Midwest. The team from Empty Bottle, Space, Longman & Eagle and Thalia Hall/Dusek's are bringing the neighborhood back to its roots and relevance. A pristine-sounding music room also has stunning visuals of dark wood and chandeliers. Bookings have been eclectic—jazz (Pharoah Sanders!/Ramsey Lewis), rhythm and blues (NRBQ) and occasionally rock 'n' roll or dance party. The warm and friendly downstairs gastrobar/restaurant merits its own trip.

Samain and the Fallow Moon
7 degrees and snowing here on Shadow Mountain. Means I must have a doctor's appointment today. Yep, COPD follow up with Lisa. I'm interested in staging. I want to have a prognosis and a plan for what I need to do to manage this disease. Perhaps a referral to a pulmonologist. It's been about two months since my diagnosis.
Yesterday was a landmark day here. We started prepping Kate's sewing room for her return to this domestic art form. Gathered up cloth, moved embroidery thread, organized papers, put the repaired Bernini back on its table, cleared off her work surface. Exciting to see her willing and able.
Gonna need to cook Thanksgiving dinner. Thought I had SeoAh set up to do it, but turns out they won't arrive until the day before. She'll do her Korean holiday meal on Friday or Saturday. At least this Thanksgiving I feel able to do it. Last Thanksgiving, with Kate barely back from rehab, I didn't. We catered from Tony's Market.
Capon. I love capon, don't like turkey. I'll handle the bird, Kate's going to organize side dishes and parcel them out to other cooks like SeoAh and Ruth. I might make a stuffing. Not sure yet.
We'll have a full house with the Georgia three and Annie staying here. Jon, Ruth, Gabe will come up for the meal from Aurora. 8. Just right.
Painting. Right now I'm trying to recreate Mark Rothko paintings. I want to imitate him, figure out how he created the mood, the emotional resonance. At some point I'll go off on my own, but right now I want to learn from one of my favorites. Autodidact color field painter. That's me.

Luke Bryan Crashed a Wedding in Georgia
LUKE BRYAN was in Savannah, Georgia over the weekend doing "American Idol" auditions. While he was there, he found out someone was having a wedding reception nearby so he made arrangements to crash it . . . while they were playing his song "Crash My Party".
The bride and groom are Austin Lipski and McKenna Neidlinger, and their families kept it quiet so Luke could surprise them on their big day. They had no idea until he walked into the room holding a bottle of champagne.
He toasted the couple, posed for photos, and then everybody danced to "Country Girl (Shake It For Me)".

Her beautiful blue eyes sparkled with joy as she wiped the sweat off of her face. She still had another 75 pounds to go to reach a healthy weight.
"I never realized that working out is like this," She said giggling.
She didn't know then that there were no workouts like hers. Her workout was customized to fit her and only her.
However, regardless of the degree of customization, many elements of her workout had shared characteristics with others because we as human beings share many defined spiritual, mental, emotional and physical characteristics.
Our struggles to reach goals also have very defined and shared characteristics.
Your awareness of these characteristics and your skill in defining them helps you in five ways.
- You could recognize and duplicate the steps you have successfully taken in similar situations to overcome similar struggles in life.
- You could recognize and avoid the steps you have taken in similar situations that have not helped you.
- You could recognize and duplicate the steps others in similar situations have successfully taken to overcome that particular stage of the struggle.
- You could recognize and avoid the steps others in similar situations have taken that have not helped them.
- You could also recognize when your path becomes yours alone without anyone to share it with.
There are experiments that show how we value complications and complicated solutions even as we crave simplicity.
The conflict between valuing complications and conflicts and craving simplicity is a shared struggle you need to be aware of during planning especially in the first stages.
Think of Cinderella, Harry Potter, and Star Wars. In storytelling, an orphan within a hostile environment peaks your interest.
Would you be as interested if Cinderella, Harry Potter or Luke Skywalker were wealthy, well cared for, going to the best schools and were surrounded by loving family members without a single struggle, enemy or care in the world?
The tremendous success of these stories answers that question with an unquestionable, "No." Most people are not interested in simple stories without conflict.
But what would Cinderella, Harry Potter, and Luke Skywalker struggle to have? They struggle to have simplicity and resolution of conflicts.
Most of us may want to watch the bad news on TV, know about the latest celebrity gossip or read about the conflicts and wars around the world. However, in our personal lives we don't want to be the subject of a gossip, have a personal conflict or be in a war zone.
We want to have simplicity. We want our struggles to be resolved. We struggle to have fulfillment.
Thoughts and theories based on Abraham Maslow 1943 paper "A Theory of Human Motivation" refer to this conflict as a conflict between the need for security and the need for variety.
Simplicity falls under security and complications fall under variety.
Effective planning should address both needs. However, the first step is one of simplification.
In defining a plan including a workout plan and its shared characteristics, one of the simplest ways is to look at a plan as a path that takes you from a known and realized past to the unknown but defined future through a fully evaluated present moment.
A forgotten past or experiences that you do not realize you have had do not help you.
A present that is not evaluated does not reveal your hidden resources and potentials.
A future that is not defined does not permit any planning.
Out of the three, past, present and future, the defined future has the highest priority in planning since it is the destination you are moving toward.
In the simplest terms, defined future is the vision you continuously hold in your heart. A life plan is steps you take from the past through the present in manifesting of the vision of the future you continuously hold in the present.
An effective workout plan for you is part of the steps that help you express your vision of future and it includes visualization techniques.

Here is my sense of humor coming out. When new transplants come to our state we should give them a "Welcome Package" in side will be a list.
On the list will be helpful suggestion that say if you're a woman. You might rethink shaving your legs after all you will need the added warmth to keep your legs warm. Panty hose and long johns are necessities that you will need. Dresses and skirts in the winter are strongly frowned on. After all the objective is to stay warm and not end up like a popsicle. Hearty meals are encouraged, after all it's all about staying warm. Chili, soup and stews are all part of the fare for this state if you want to survive.
For men, you don't get points for turning blue. Thermal wear is an accessory to not be without. Car gear for emergencies. A sleeping bag that is rated for below zero weather and a winter survival kit. Oh and when the weather guy or gal says that it will be getting to 19 above and that there is a severe weather watch. This is not a suggestion to keep off the roads. As one of our new transplants found out when the buses stopped running and almost ended up stranded.
We do want people to survive our winters and not end up going to their a funerals.

At the tender age of 8, McKenzie Smith* has undergone more disruptive home environments than most of us experience during our journey from 'childhood' to 'adulthood.' Her family's struggles have brought them to their current status enrolled as clients in a local, non-profit welfare organization. This organization works to assist homeless and challenged families regain their feet after a period of rocky life occurrences, especially families with young children suffering from such instability. Most of the families enrolled in the program are single parenting one or more children, and many of the kids positioned here have been in transitory living conditions for years before reaching this safe-home.
You see, McKenzie is my neighbor, as are many of these family clients, living in a large, house-like apartment building on the street corner near my home. The kids walk to school around the block alongside my own children, as a weekly elementary school volunteer I see them in the classroom, and I see them outside playing many evenings throughout spring, summer, and fall. I didn't know any of them very well when I first moved here two years ago, which was just 2 months before I started work as a Project Coordinator with FSPW.
At work, I was surprised to hear about the cooperative opportunity with this organization that the Program Manager of our wilderness advocacy group had been fortunate to come across and develop. He explained to me that my new project for the summer was leading hikes with children enrolled in this local program… in other words, my neighbors. Quite frankly, it was easy to be a bit skeptical. Since I have had the chance to observe them rather closely (really I have not much choice), it is clear their parents are preoccupied and burdened with life tasks, as the kids are outside a lot, and in many instances alone. They are loud, a lot of the time. They squabble. Their exasperated parents come, yelling at them out of a place of mis-handled concern, and I can only imagine how difficult the tasks facing these families must be, how hard it must be to focus when you can't even find work. The kids sometimes find things to do in the chain-link fence demarcation that is their backyard, but are often left to bide time in the front yard, and traipse out in the street when they are unattended to.
Above all the commotion their living circumstances may have caused them, in observing them it was instantly striking to me how readily these kids bonded with each other. They are definitely a crew. Out there on the street corner, they are quite the unnamed gang of kids. And a little wild, a little rough. Something reminiscent of 'Little Rascals meets Lord of the Flies….'
Would these kids really give two-hoots about being driven out to the wilderness to be stuck with some strangers in the woods? Or even want to? Would they be able to mind simple rules for behavior and stay interested for a whole day?
Well, it turns out, they did!
These kids were absolute natural phenomena out-of-doors. When we got them on the trail, they were full of energy, they were curious, they were clumsy, and they were just simply great kids happy to be out together doing something different. They liked the flowers they saw, the little water seeps running through the trail, BUGS, large cobbles to hop on top, sticks that resembled walking canes….
Every two weeks, when it was the day of the FSPW Kids' Community Hike, I never knew which kids, or how many kids, would show up. And every two weeks, without fail, I would be greeted at the rendezvous by a big huge van buckled full of 'em. Many kids came out on all trips. Others joined some but not all. But smiling, always smiling, were the participants who showed up on those mornings, ready to explore wherever we would take them.
We traveled throughout locations in the Scotchman Peaks Wilderness, from the ancient Ross Creek grove of cedars, to the mighty Lightning Creek watershed, to the historic Star Peak Trail #999. The kids did everything they could get away with: ford crisp cool streams, balance over log bridges, hideout in gigantic tree cavities, research elusive amphibians, free-climb large cobbles, face their fears creeping through narrow tree-trunk tunnels, create contests skipping stones, dissect a decaying stump, find honest appreciation for the shade of a pine tree, and discover more about themselves…that they are capable of climbing mountains!
The kids were not bullies, not rude or sarcastic, not disrespectful. They were curious, light-hearted, and explosive! They brought heavy packs with them, its true, but by the end of the afternoon they carried what they could and shed the things they no longer needed, with attentive adult role models helping them along the way. The children enjoyed the special time spent playing and hiking together with kids they knew, kids who knew them. Certain shared moments will likely stick with them throughout their lives, because for these kids the opportunity to simply get out and play in the woods does not come every day. And in case these memories alone aren't proof enough, I have a 2'x3' scroll of paper saved that I found on my doorstep one morning with their signatures and smiley-faces on it, all telling me they were grateful to have gone hiking in the summer.
I've felt for a long time that you never really know someone until you take a hike in the woods with them, because out there, in vast forests and alongside rivers, our society's 'playing fields' are leveled; the equalities we share becomes almost palpable. We are all that we are, right there in that moment, with our feet on the same dirt path, under the same cloudy sky, the surface of our skin feeling the same breezes, and the same horizon before our eyes. We are united in our place and time, and in our humanness. Last summer, these children shed all labels I, and others in society, had placed on them. They were children of this earth, they had a home, and they all belonged. What I didn't expect: they knew it too. Even if as an instinctual 'sense,' this knowledge resonated in them. The months spent hiking together was for these kids, and in reflection for myself as well, a real summer jubilee.
At the end of last summer, I bought one of those outdoor, stand-up basketball hoops for my two sons at a 2ndhand sale. Nowadays the kids from across the corner come out and play ball with us on evenings when the weather is nice. I still see them in the elementary school where I volunteer each week. And sometimes we cross paths at the neighborhood marketplace.
But now when we meet, it's just a little bit different. I see things in our passing-by that I didn't notice before. I see that, in those shy little waves, I provide a community connection for them as a part of a larger group of people that lives here, a community they are a part of. I see them feel confirmed and safe, nodding their heads when I interrupt their games to discuss acceptable behavior rules, because they remember I like playing with them. I even see them divert their eyes if they weren't behaving well, because they feel accountable now knowing someone who cares is watching.
McKenzie asks me when we are going hiking again. When these families complete their program, I hope I continue to see the kids from the 'big house' around the schoolyard and in the classrooms, maybe at the parks or playgrounds in the summertime. And I hope these every-day encounters will remind them of their inhabitance within our greater earth-community, similar to all humans as it is all nature, a community which they were born of, inherit, and will one day retire to, with all this Earth does give them along the way: clean water, fresh flowers and fruits, unique minerals, interesting creatures, and maybe most importantly of all, each other.

Adam Curtis
Adam Curtis
Curtis at the San Francisco Film Festival in 2005
Kevin Adam Curtis
26 May 1955
|Alma mater
|University of Oxford (BA)
|Documentary film-maker
|Years active
Kevin Adam Curtis (born 26 May 1955) is a British documentary filmmaker.[1] His favourite theme is "power and how it works in society", and his works explore areas of sociology, psychology, philosophy and political history.[2] Curtis has called himself "fundamentally a historian",[3] and has described his work as journalism that happens to be expounded via film. His films have won four BAFTAs. He has worked for the BBC throughout his career.
Early life[edit]
Curtis was born in Dartford, Kent,[4] and grew up in Platt.[5] His father was Martin Curtis (10 August 1917 – January 2002), a cinematographer from Sevenoaks who worked with Humphrey Jennings.[2] His family had a left wing background.[6] Curtis attended the Sevenoaks School on a county scholarship.[7] He completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in human sciences at Mansfield College, Oxford. He started a PhD, during which he taught in politics, but he became disillusioned with academia and decided to leave.[6]
Early career[edit]
Curtis applied to the BBC and was hired to make a film for one of its training courses, comparing designer clothes in music videos to the design of weapons. He was subsequently given a post on That's Life!,[1] a magazine series that juxtaposed hard-hitting investigations and light-hearted content. He was a film director on Out of Court, a BBC Two legal series, from 1980 until 1982.[8]
Curtis is inspired by the sociologist Max Weber, who, he argues, challenged the "crude, left-wing, vulgar Marxism that says that everything happens because of economic forces within society".[6] Of his general political outlook, Curtis has also remarked:
People often accuse me of being a lefty. That's complete rubbish. If you look at The Century of the Self, what I'm arguing is something very close to a neoconservative position because I'm saying that, with the rise of individualism, you tend to get the corrosion of the other idea of social bonds and communal networks, because everyone is on their own. Well, that's what the neoconservatives argue, domestically. [...] If you ask me what my politics are, I'm very much a creature of my time. I don't really have any. I change my mind over different issues, but I am much more fond of a libertarian view. I have a more libertarian tendency [...] What's astonishing in our time is how the Left here has completely failed to come up with any alternatives, and I think you may well see a lefty libertarianism emerging because people will be much more sympathetic to it, or just a libertarianism, and out of that will come ideas. And I don't mean "localism".[2]
He believes the Western world is haunted by the past, with no vision for the future, and that it has become pessimistic and backward-looking.[1]
Curtis cites the USA Trilogy, a series of three novels by John Dos Passos that he first read when he was thirteen, as the greatest influence on his work:
You can trace back everything I do to that novel because it's all about grand history, individual experience, their relationship. And also collages, quotes from newsreels, cinema, newspapers. And it's about collage of history as well. That's where I get it all from.[2]
Other creative influences are Robert Rauschenberg and Émile Zola.[2] Curtis makes extensive use of archive footage in his documentaries. He has acknowledged the influence of recordings made by Erik Durschmied and is "constantly using his stuff in my films".[9]
Instead of specially composed music because it "creates a sort of monoculture", he uses tracks from a variety of genres, decades, and countries, as well as sound effects that he discovers on old tapes.[10]
According to a profile of Curtis by Tim Adams, published in The Observer: "If there has been a theme in Curtis's work … it has been to look at how different elites have tried to impose an ideology on their times, and the tragicomic consequences of those attempts".[11]
In 2005, Curtis received the Golden Gate Persistence of Vision Award at the San Francisco International Film Festival.[12] In 2006, he was given the Alan Clarke Award for Outstanding Creative Contribution to Television at the British Academy Television Awards.[13] In 2009, the Sheffield International Documentary Festival gave Curtis the Inspiration Award for inspiring viewers and other documentary filmmakers.[14] In 2015, he was awarded the True Vision Award by the True/False Film Fest.[15]
Curtis administered a blog subtitled 'The Medium and the Message' hosted by the BBC and updated between 2011 and 2016.[16]

SGBL and Lebanese Basketball Federation Sign Partnership Agreement
The Lebanese Basketball Federation and Societe Generale de banque au Liban signed a partnership agreement on Thursday at the Nohad Nawfal Stadium in Zouk Mkayel.
The ceremony was held in the presence of the Federation's President , Akram Halabi, SGBL's Director of Strategy and Marketing, Habib Khoury, the Federation's Vice President, Eddy Bou Zakhm, the Federation's Secretary General, Tony Khalil, the Head of National Team Committee Ghazi Boustany, the Federation members George Sabounjian, Charbel Michel Rizk and Patrick Lahoud, and the representatives of the media outlets.
"We thank SGBL's Chairman Mr. Antoun Sehnaoui and the management of the bank for the support to the National Team and Lebanese Federation. The bank has always been a generous supporter of sports and we hope to sign partnerships with other companies to support the development of basketball in Lebanon and the aim is to qualify for the World Cup in China next year," the Federation's president said.
"Mr. Sehnaoui never missed an opportunity to support sports. The Lebanese Basketball Federation is proud of Lebanese people's passion for the game and the team and their unwavering support to the players. We look forward to building a long term relation with the bank through this partnership," he added.
SGBL's Director of Strategy and Marketing, Habib Khoury, for his part noted that SGBL's support for sports began several years ago and falls within the bank's corporate social responsibility initiatives.
He added: "Sports values are linked with our values as bankers. Our partnerships include many clubs and even individuals. We also support different types of sports, from races to football and of course basketball. And as we have supported and we continue to support a number of top Lebanese men's basketball teams, we are here today to announce the launch of our partnership with the Lebanese Basketball Federation."
"This partnership will allow us and the federation to develop the Lebanese basketball game on a national level as we believe that sports always bring people together, because Lebanese people are passionate about sport and encourage and follow basketball. We hope that with the development of the game, the name of Lebanon will rise more and more around the world," Khoury went on to say.
He added: "We are more than glad to launch this partnership today, just hours before the Lebanese team's game against China in this stadium. We wish the national team good luck in all the World Cup qualifying games. "
